Arc VII Chapter 5

It was over. Everything was over. Everything was lost.

Asami laughed without control. Her maniac chuckling filled the air. She didn't cry. Shedidn't despair. She didn't complain. Her laughter continued, while her Susanoo faded.

Reality was ridiculous, surreal, absurd, but reality didn't lie. Her hands killed. Her hands committed treason. She crossed the line. No return was possible any more, but her heart felt no regret.

Asami stood amidst the crater, surrounded by destruction and mountains of corpses. Konoha burned, devastated by the fires of war. The average Konoha ninja didn't enjoy the protection of her Susanoo. Her explosion proved lethal. Her former comrades didn't survive. They were crushed in their insignificance by her might.

They were nothing. Even Konoha's elite died like flies.

She stood at the precipice of her life, only to witness her fall. Her blood boiled in ecstasy. The disappointment, the frustration, the hatred nourished her desire for revenge. Raze the village.

Thousands upon thousands of brave ninja met their fate this day. What were a few thousand more?

Blood stained her innocent hands, but Asami had long since stopped caring. Blood was the price of power.

Her heart yearned for destruction, for bloodshed. Her sanity eroded, but her will resisted her urges, her inner demons.

“...” Danzo glared. Neither him nor, Asami yielded as tension rose. They both waited.

His cane hit the ground, calling for attention. “Ninja of Konoha, kill her! Eliminate the traitor!”

His men hesitated. Even his Root ANBU showed reluctance. Their resolve faltered and Asami grinned. Danzo's loyal minions wavered.

Danzo clicked his tongue. “What are you doing? I said ...”

Asami giggled. “Tell me, Danzo, why are you calling me a traitor?” The old man made a costly mistake.

Her lovely saccharine smile adorned Asami's lips. A purple sphere sprang forth from her palm. “You are behind this entire operation, aren't you? You gave the orders. You are the one behind it all. You are the one responsible, and you are going to face judgement. I will vanquish your existence, and I will relish your demise.”

Danzo sensed her chakra. This wasn't planned.

“Attack! Attack, you idiots!” Danzo commanded, but to no avail. His orders fell on deaf ears.

Asami laughed. Her purple orb expanded. “I always knew that you are a coward, Lord Danzo, but I never expected that you don't even have the courage to face me in person.”

Her eyes glimmered purple. Her sharingan unleashed their primal power. “You are hiding behind numbers, but they won't save you.”

Danzo discarded his cane and charged. His vacuum bullets traversed the air, but her shield nullified his attack. Her defence proved formidable.

“You disappoint me, Danzo. You seem ill prepared.” Asami extended her arm. Her floating sphere contracted. “Only two kinds of people oppose me, the brave, and the foolish. I doubt you belong to the former.” Her sphere cracked.
