This choice: Yes, brilliant idea Iruka! | Go Back Chapter 59: It's Finally Over...Right? (ID #524850) an addition by: ShinseiKyouto ![View marik's Portfolio. [Online Now]](http://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/costumicons/ps-icon-regular-10.gif) More by this author Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, brilliant idea Iruka!"
Iruka carried Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune, and Sakura up to Naruto's chest who was still heaving, trying to break free of the sand. Gaara was starting to struggle holding him down, while Shikamaru was slowly regaining his chakra to perform the Shadow Possession Jutsu again if need be. Tsunade put her hands down on Naruto's chest and said, "Remember Iruka, don't feed so much of your chakra through that you overwhelm me. You and Sakura should start feeding me your chakra now!"
Tsunade and Shizune performed the operation much the same way as before, though it was much more difficult now with the massive Naruto thrashing around and the sheer amount of chakra. Tsunade saw the Kyubi had once again burned through a lot of Orochimaru's chakra and was continuing to suppress it. Before, the Kyubi's chakra had stayed out of her way as she removed the chakra. Now it was actively trying to confuse her, to draw out his chakra instead of Orochimaru's. Tsunade started to struggle, keeping the Kyubi's chakra in while pulling out Orochimaru's. Then she felt Iruka's chakra flow into her in addition to Sakura's. She used it to force the Kyubi's chakra back into the seal and yank out Orochimaru's chakra all at once. She yelled out, "Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya pulled open the scroll and caught the purple chakra as it flew out of Tsunade's hands. The scroll started feeling warmer and warmer as the chakra became sealed within it. Finally, all the chakra was captured. Jiraiya bound the scroll and drew seal after seal over it, making sure not a single scrap of Orochimaru's chakra would ever be freed. He tucked the scroll away with the other one, the last remnants of Orochimaru. Tsunade nearly collapsed at the amount of chakra it had taken to perform the operation. Sakura and Shizune had both fell unconscious, unable to withstand the strain. Tsunade stood shakily and nearly faltered. Iruka steadied her and said, "Is it over?"
Tsunade nodded and said, "When the med squad gets here they'll need to look over Naruto, Sakura, Shizune, and Kakashi. Shikamaru and Gaara don't look hurt, just tired and you seem fine. So for the most part yes...this is over."
And so the med ninja arrived in the arms of the remaining giants, two in each arm. Kiba, Asuma, Chouji, Lee, and Sasuke were each told the events after they were knocked out and about their new powers. Naruto slowly started to shrink as the med ninja looked everyone over. Within the hour, he was normal sized though it would be several hours before he finally woke up. A search was set out to find Kabuto since he hadn't been seen since his defeat at Kakashi's hand. His body was found, mutilated by Orochimaru who had used a jutsu none of them had ever seen before on him. No doubt whatever had happened had revived Orochimaru when he had been near death before he sent Kakashi to attack the village. His body was taken care of by the ANBU.
Jiraiya and Tsunade stood on top of the Hokage's Mansion, looking out over the Leaf Village. The giants that had woken up were already helping to rebuild the village, hoping to make amends for what they had done. Gaara had left to return to his village, promising to return later to see Naruto and lend assistance if it was needed. Tsunade sighed and said, "Well, all in all I see this as a good turn of events."
Jiraiya turned to her and said, "Even though the village took damage we managed to kill both Orochimaru and Kabuto, both registered in the Bingo Book as high class criminals."
"Not only that, but we gained a strong defensive force with the giants." Tsunade said. "People will think twice before attacking us again."
She sighed and said, "What did you do with Orochimaru's body?"
Jiraiya smiled and said, "I left it with one of my toads. He'll make sure the body is destroyed."
Tsunade nodded and said, "I'm going to go check on Naruto and Kakashi."
As Tsunade left Jiraiya to his thoughts, the toad that was holding Orochimaru's body was hopping through the forest on the way to dispose of the body. Normally the toads would use jutsu to dispose of things, but this toad was unable to perform jutsu. Instead, he was planning on burning it once he was clear of the village. As he hopped along, something exploded out of the ground and closed around the toad. A strange plant like head pulled itself out of the ground, the plant attached to what appeared to be a human body wearing a black coat with red clouds. The plant opened and the mangled toad fell out, Orochimaru's body visible in the toad's stomach. The plant opened fully and revealed a man with half his face white, and the other half black. He pulled the two halves of Orochimaru's body out of the toad's stomach and said, "I thought this toad tasted funny."
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes. It's Orochimaru."
"What the hell happened to him?"
"Someone finally killed him."
"Let's take him back then."
Zetsu grabbed both halves of Orochimaru's body and sank back into the ground. It would soon be found that Orochimaru had written the Forbidden Jutsu that had caused this whole mess on a scroll that was still in tact in his robes. And now it was in Akatsuki hands.
