8 The lonely man. Ashina and Genji vs Eight Tails

"Time to remind these youngsters why they call me the Ruler of the Abyssal Whorls," Ashina declared, his chakra surging with undeniable power.

 "Don't leave me out of the fun, Ashina," Genji chimed in, ready to join the fray.

"Hahaha! Let's not keep our guest waiting. We'll finish this before he gets a fifth tail," Ashina proclaimed, determination blazing in his eyes.

As Genji unsheathed his sword, electricity crackled around him and his blade, a silent promise of the storm about to be unleashed.

"This kid knows not of the art of tea. Wouldn't have been controlled by a Biju then. Well, whatever."

Genji blipped towards the black mass, lightning surging through his blade.

'Raiton: Chasen' (Lightning Style: Whisk)

He unleashed a flurry of lightning-infused thrusts, reminiscent of the whisking motion when brewing tea, each strike carrying the destructive force to obliterate anything in its path. The air crackled with raw energy as his blade sliced through the darkness, leaving trails of shimmering sparks in its wake.

But just as victory seemed within reach, the Jinchuriki's chakra construct hand seized Genji attempting to crush Genji to death with its monstrous grip.

'Suiton: Kaijin no ikari' (Water Style: Rage of the Kraken)

Ashina ready from after preparing his jutsu unleashed it. All the Biju saw before being yanked was a huge shadow above it. A massive water construct of a kraken grabbed it with its tentacles not allowing any freedom or movement, a feat only possible due to the massive amount of chakra Ashina possessed and precise control over it.

Now that the tailed beast had been immobilised Genji realised, he had to end it right then. His sword lit up and crackled due to the gathering of a massive amount of lightning chakra just waiting to be unleashed.

He held his sword in one hand and got into a throwing position. The sword was starting to shake, unable to handle the massive amount of chakra poured into.

'Secret Art: Tencha' (Boiling Tea)

He threw his sword right at the Jinchuriki's heart aiming to kill it before it fully transformed. His blade crackling with bursts of sparks going all of the place as the sword flew towards his target and pierced him.

The momentum of the strike carried the blade forward, propelling it through the jinchuriki's body, destroying the kraken and accidentally obliterating an entire section of a mountain behind his target.

Amidst the eerie stillness, onlookers stood in stunned silence, their hearts pounding with a mixture of awe and trepidation. They cast wary glances toward the figure that stood at the center of the chaos, a solitary beacon of strength amidst the devastation. It was a sight that inspired both pride and fear, for in that moment, they beheld the true power of the man who served as the right hand of their Kage.

But suddenly,

*poof**splatter*

Ink drops fell around the body. Colouring the ground with an ominous black, signifying them being too late at ending him. The silence was too eerie and too long.

'But why is it dark in just in a circle around me'

'Does the eight tails have a genjutsu?'

'Is the circle getting bigger.'

He felt weird. The world moving very slow. The world was starting to rotate and it felt he was getting shorter. 'But why do I feel weak in my legs and why does my neck hurt so much. Its as if something really heavy is being kept on top of my head.'

'Also why does Ashina's face look like that. Is he scared of something. Nah could never be. But his eyes look funny'

'It feels weird. Ahh, I get it.'

'I am dying'

'It's the eight tails that is right above me. What a crappy way to die. Sorry my old friend seems like I have to leave you alone, again.'

If one saw closely enough they would notice a little smile present on his face. One of fulfilment at the way he lived and the way he died. Yet, somewhere hidden within was a bit of sorrow and pity at having to leave his friend alone in this world. After all he was the last of their generation. All of the others had died due to wars, the same ones that also ate up his children and grandchildren.

He truly was lonely man.

*Splatter*

A ginormous bull demon with eight tentacle like tails and 2 massive horns landed on top of Genji. Completely crushing him under its weight.

Ashina not getting even a second to grieve at his last friend's death had to dodge on of the massive tentacles approaching him.

"Dammit Genji, how could you?"

But grieving could be left for later. He had a village to protect and a Tailed Beast to kill.

The eight tails covered itself with its own tails preparing to launch a wide range twister like attack that would be almost inescapable.

Ashina knew he had the option of throwing the beast into the sea that was filled with whirlpools that would probably tear it apart. Such were the troubled seas around Uzushio. One misstep and you fall into an inescapable vortex, some as big as islands but all of them raging ferociously waiting for the next prey to fall within.

Underneath the Uzushio ran a huge channel of water a piece of information that was unknown to outsiders other than their closest ally. It was a massive advantage for Ashina but one that can only be used once as a surprise. If the beast releases a Biju Dama, he wouldn't be able to stop it without repercussion.

But at the very least he could bring the eight tails outside Uzushio with its help.1

'Suiton: Kyokai Nami' (Water Style: Boundary Waves)

Cracks appeared underneath the eight tails with a little water with very high pressure oozing out right before the cracks widened and a massive torrent of high pressure water hit the Hachibi.

It was thrown off its angle of attack just enough for its massive tails to smash right into the ground, lifting it higher up and letting the gigantic water wall propel it outside the lands of the Uzumaki right into the sea.

It wasn't over just yet. Hachibi mid-air gathered chakra near its mouth. Just what Ashina had feared, a Biju Dama, the signature attack of a tailed beast that annihilate everything it passes through leaving destruction, no, leaving nothing just nothing in its wake.

The tailed beast was too far away for any of his justu to hit. So, his only choice was to deviate the path of the ball just enough that it misses his village.

''Water Style: God's Authority"

It was a jutsu that he had developed in order to use as sneak attacks on unsuspecting enemies. It manipulates the water vapour in the air compresses and pressurises them and then is blasted onto his foes. But if its done on a wider area it could work as a trampoline to slighty knock the tailed beast ball out of its trajectory.

It was a gamble he had to take. A gamble that he had to win.

The Biju Dama was launched right at him. Just when it got in range, he tossed the die.

The ball hit the area. His gamble had succeeded.

Or not

The Biju Dama ripped right through the wall in the air, coming towards him with full force. He had to use it, his strongest card one that would leave him drained of all chakra once he used it. With no other choice left.

'Suiton: Mugen no Uzu' (Water Release: Infinite Whirlpool)

A whirlpool as tall as the mountains around Uzu formed in front of him engulfing the beast ball and ripping it to shreds. The vortices within eating up on every last bit of chakra the beast ball had and grinding it until no destructive power was left.

Right after, it rained. The beast thrown into oblivion as it landed right into one of the giga-whirlpools and the Biju Dama entirely diffused.

The Uzumaki's had finally won their battle. Most relieved that they lost only one shinobi. But one shinobi that Ashina Uzumaki held very dear. Cheers of celebration could be heard all throughout Uzushiogakure all chanting the name of their beloved leader and also grieving at the loss of one of their precious family.

"It's finally over, but what is there that is truly left for me to look forward to, old friend."

"I am tired."
