Hayato watched as the tentacle pierced his sensei's abdomen, the world losing colour as Aiko's helpless image reflected in his eyes.

"Crap," Ryohei cursed, closing the distance with his sensei, however...

*SMACK*

A resounding whip smack was heard, caused by Moryo's tentacle whip which smacked Ryohei, sending him tumbling.

"HAHAHA!" Moryo laughed sinisterly at the fallen Shinobi. Though they had fallen from exhaustion, to him, it seemed as though they cowered before his might.

Moryo's laughter ceased, his cold crimson gaze fixated on Aiko.

"You'll be my puppet!" Moryo asserted.

A black chakra flowed through his purple tentacle, infiltrating Aiko's innards.

"U-Ugh," Aiko gumbled, unable to escape her predicament. Her eyes became a horrific purple, and her complexion darkened considerably!

Moryo's lips parted, and the next phrase shook the terrain.

"Kill them all!" He commanded, pulling the tentacle back out from Aiko.

Aiko fell to her knees while the cacophonous howls of the wind ruffled her hair. The gaping wound in her abdomen stitched itself. Arising, she remained unmoving...

"S-Sensei..." Hayato called in a croaked voice.

Slowly turning her head, Hayato was invited by her malevolent gaze, causing him to break into a cold sweat.

With a body flicker, Aiko reached Hayato, her fist shaped like a sword threatening to pierce Hayato!

"ROTATION!" Ryohei yelled, repelling the strike, and pushing Aiko back. However, Aiko still stood, unscathed.

"Ho, this is rather entertaining. How will you protect everyone else I wonder," Moryo questioned, numerous slender tentacles protruding from his back.

The tentacles scattered, each one intent on piercing the fallen Shinobi!

"Damn it!" Ryohei cursed. There was no way he could save everyone.

*WHOOSH*

*XING*

A whistling sound rang in the air, as a scarlet streak slashed the tentacles into bits, leaving Moryo dumbfounded.

"What the hell is going on?" A red bearded man muttered. Everyone's faces lit up, as the person revealed himself to be the 4 tails Jinchuruki!

"Roshi!" Daichi smiled.

With this man's intervention, the scales have shifted; victory was possible.

Moryo grumbled, "Impudent mortals!"

Roshi looked at his allies, raising a palm, filling everyone on the terrain with a red, bubbly aura.

"This... This is the chakra of the tailed beast. Roshi, don't tell me..." Daichi paused.

"Yeah, Son Goku is now an ally of Iwagakure," Roshi answered, turning his head to Hayato. "It's all thanks to you!"

A wry smile graced Hayato's lips, as he mumbled, "Well, damn."

"Son Goku?" Kenta questioned.

"That's his name. Instead of unleashing himself from my body, he had already reinforced my heart with chakra, increasing its defenses, and hence, the wound was not as lethal as it should've been. He has decided to ally with me!"

Raiko smiled, "That's great news!"

Roshi turned his gaze back to Moryo, "I don't know what's going on, but I can tell it's because of that thing," Roshi deduced. Wielding a kunai, he continued, "Tell me everything after this is over!"

Clasping his hands together, Roshi delved into his mind, "Son Goku, thank you. I need your help!"

Roshi's body slowly transformed, his entire form becoming blood red, and 3 tails protruding from his back.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really tired right now. The wound on my heart needs more time to fully heal, so I don't know how long I'll be active. Support me!"

With his declaration, Roshi rushed forth, circling the terrain at light speed!

"WHOA, OY, OY," Hayato's eyes widened at the speed of this individual.

*BOOM*

Roshi's fist connected with the demon's body, sending him flying into the forest! The trees somersaulted into the air as Moryo's body flung back several kilometers!

Moryo stood his ground!

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Why you!"

Moryo shouted, releasing multiple spherical projectiles.

*BOOM* *BOOM*

With a grin, Roshi pressed on.

*BOOM*

Both beings fought at a completely different dimension!

However, the rest of the shinobi didn't have time to be dazed at the battle, especially Hayato and Ryohei, as they eyed their sensei.

Aiko on the other hand, raised a kunai, cracking a sinister grin that reached the corner of her eyes before lunging at Hayato.

*CLANK*

"Sensei, wake up," Hayato called, but it came to no avail as he parried her attacks with his sword.

Aiko was like an emotionless puppet.

"Ugh!"

To everyone's surprise, she ceased her assault, clutching onto her head as though struggling. However, to everyone else around, this entailed something significant.

"Sens-"

Before Hayato could call out, slender purple tentacles erupted from her back, whipping out at the terrain!

Hayato gracefully somersaulted, landing beside Ryohei, who took an attacking stance.

Ryohei started, "Hayato, I sense an odd fluctuation. The chakra that demon imbued... It's set to self-destruct sensei!"

"Damn it, what do we do?!" Hayato asked Ryohei.

"I believe we can get to her somehow... But I'm not sure how," Ryohei concluded. It didn't take a genius to point out the internal conflict of possession in Aiko's mind, as evidenced by the struggles as she clutched onto her head.

This proved she was facing a separate battle, a battle for the possession of the body.

Ryohei continued, "We need to take down Moryo. They're both connected. Kill him, and sensei will be fine," Ryohei answered.

Hayato added, "But isn't there also the off-chance that sensei might also die!"

With a momentary silence, Ryohei replied, "That's also a possibility we can;t exclude."

"Damn it!" Hayato gnashed his teeth in frustration.

*BOOM* *BOOM*

Meanwhile, the entire terrain became a playground for the 2 supreme entities, Roshi and Moryo, who dashed around at unimaginable speeds, ravaging everything in their wake!

"We can't even do anything against that... Damn it!" Hayato stared at the ground, his teeth gnashing.

Aiko walked toward him, kunai raised, while Hayato grappled with the ordeal. His hair flared, stemming from anger at his weakness.

"Nii-san... If nii-san was here, he'd be able to deal with it... What can I do?" Hayato questioned inaudibly, not knowing his chakra flared, and the bubbly foam of the tailed beast around him vanished. Additionally, an emotionless grey clouded his eyes.

"Hayato!" Ryohei called, sensing an abnormal phenomenon within Hayato.

Aiko lunged toward the duo, with the intent to kill!

"I will... stop this," Hayato declared, not knowing his eyes had become an emotionless grey before colliding with Aiko!

Aiko pointed the kunai directly at him, but Hayato sidestepped, grappling her into the ground.

"ARRGHHH!" Aiko yelled, lashing out aggressively, her tentacles flattening the terrain.

*BOOM* *BOOM*

"Sensei, wake up!" Hayato pleaded, keeping her pinned down. "Please," he whispered.

His aura flared, colourless, but Daichi and the rest could sense something.

"W-What?!" Ryohei muttered, staring at Hayato with his arms raised in defense as he deflected the incoming debris.

His eyes were focused on the energy-like tentacles, its power diminishing, and its form deteriorating into thin air.

"What is it?" Tora asked warily, sword raised.

"Sensei's... No, Moryo's aura... It's fading... It's disappearing!" Ryohei answered.

Daichi's eyes widened, "What?!"

The purple aura shrouding Aiko slowly dissipated, leaving no trace in her body. It was as though the sinister chakra was forcibly extracted! At the same time, Aiko's body twitched uncontrollably, as she screamed and lashed out even more aggressively, yet Hayato held on, persistent.

"Please, please..." Hayato pleaded.

As though answering his plea, Hayato found that his body was stable, and Aiko's rampage ceased.

"H-Hayato."

Hayato heard a whimper, an echo in his ears signifying hope!

Ryohei and the other Jonins shared their shock, eyes widened and lips parted.

Hayato lifted himself, looking into Aiko's eyes from above, who seemed to have regained her sense of self. The former malevolence was now replaced by a tired, yet deep orange.

Hayato's brows creased, his emotionless grey eyes retaining their former sapphire, and a tear tracing its way down his face. Additionally, the red cloak supplied by Roshi reformed around the youth.

"What the hell... happened?" Aiko questioned.

"Sensei!" Hayato exclaimed, hugging her tightly.

"Ouch kid, you're killing me!" Aiko yelled angrily.

Yet, Hayato persisted for a while longer.

A serene smile graced Aiko's lips, as she patted Hayato's head, and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you Hayato. I'm fine now."

However, Hayato still didn't stand...

"I SAID I'M FINE!" Aiko yelled.

Yet, Hayato remained glued for a while longer before abstaining, allowing Aiko to stand.

"Tsk, you and your soft-hearted temperament, can't you see that I'm fine?" Aiko grunted.

"Haha, sorry," Hayato scratched his head sheepishly.

Massaging her abdomen, the region in which she was pierced earlier, she inquired, "What the hell happened? Wasn't I stabbed?"

Somehow, that very region was magically healed.

"You were possessed sensei. Moryo poured his chakra into you," intervened another voice.

Hayato and Aiko turned their gazes behind them, seeing Ryohei approach them.

He placed a hand on Hayato's shoulder, and continued, "And Hayato was able to destroy the chakra."

"Destroy?!" Aiko's brows creased.

"Extraction perhaps?" Daichi proposed his opinion.

"No... It's way more powerful, it just... disappeared... Like some sort of..." Ryohei paused, musing with a finger under his chin...

"... Chakra Dissipation," Ryohei clarified.

Raiko's eyes widened, "Chakra dissipation! Woah, hold up, you mean this brat did that?!" Raiko pointed at Hayato.

Hayato blinked repeatedly before pointing at himself; "I did that?" He questioningly asked.

"Yeah, you did. Hayato..." Ryohei paused, causing Hayato to preemptively gulp. "... Can you remember what you did? I have a knack feeling it will aid in our battle."

"I can try," Hayato asked, diving into the sensation.

The world around him dimmed, as he delved into his conscience. He stood at the center of a serene lake, expanding boundlessly, with not a single ripple as his focus was heightened to the hilt.

Ryohei activated his Byakugan, assessing Hayato's chakra network...

And there, Hayato's entire chakra network, instead of blue, became white. Additionally, his eyes took an expressionless grey, like a dull weather conveying a subsequent downpour.

"That's it, you're doing it!" Ryohei exclaimed, excitement etched in his voice contrasting from his usually stern demeanor.

Grasping the feeling, Hayato clenched his fist, his voice deepened, "It feels... strange... I don't know what to say."

Daichi weaved a single sign, releasing some flames at Hayato.

"What?!" Hayato exclaimed.

However, the flames disappeared before even making contact with him!

"Amazing. A powerful move like this!" Daichi muttered, sweating at this revelation.

"Amazing," Hayato mumbled. Deactivating the technique, his sapphire eyes returned, and the bubbly foam of chakra supplied by Roshi reformed around him.

"Mmm, it abolishes any sort of interference with your chakra... And any other foreign signatures," Ryohei mused.

Hayato nodded in understanding before his eyes widened. He removed his clothing covering the shoulder, and his eyes widened.

"Oy, Ryohei, you're right!" Hayato exclaimed.

Ryohei snapped back, pointing at his eyes, "I know I am, I have the Byakugan."

"No, what I mean is nii-san's Hiraishin mark... It's not here!" Hayato expressed his concern.

Now it was Ryohei's turn to be shocked, as was Aiko.

Ryohei cracked a wry smile, "It appears your technique is way more overpowered than I thought!"
