Chapter 86

"I hate to interrupt, but she has a job to do." , spoke Kuro-Zetsu, who had pulled his hand out of her chest again, with not a single injury showing.

Rina swayed for a moment before holding her head for a moment, finally lowering it down and not moving.

Less than a minute later, the young Uchiha lifted her head, once again showing her mangekyou. Not a good sign at all.

"Is she finally ready?" asked Madara who had jumped next to her. "Yes, Master.", came from Kuro-Zetsu who was between them.

"So you're not an Edo Tensei anymore.", Rina stated in an eerie tone. "Yeah, it feels good to be back in a real body and feel pain.", Madara said with relief, squinting slightly at her.

"Where's my second Rinnegan?" came the question in a moment. "With Obito. He's fighting me off pretty good.", said Kuro-Zetsu who immediately enlightened the two with his condition. "Who penetrated through him?", Rina wanted to know this time. "A certain Kakashi Hatake."

So it was. Obito had really listened to his old friend. Pretty ridiculous. "Before I take my eye back myself. Got something to do here.", Madara said looking at Sasuke. "You take over the kyuubi. The hachibi should still be somewhere, too. Some of the bijuu's chakra should still be in the vessel, and also in that boy."

Understanding, Rina nodded before she jumped away from Madara and tried to lure Naruto to her. And lo and behold, it had worked. For he believed that Sasuke could certainly stand up to Madara. Now, even though Rina knew he looked like Izuna and had Suzume's love in her, he would lose to Madara.

A little further away, Rina stopped and watched Naruto who had gotten help not a minute later. A boy with a gourd on his back, which looked very familiar to her.

"Gaara!" beamed Naruto and was briefly instructed about the Kage who were on the battlefield. By seeing a distraction in this, Rina formed some finger signs, which Naruto knew all too well.

"Naruto, be careful!", Kurama immediately advised him as a tremor was felt as Rina pressed her hands to the ground.

"Jutsu of the familiar spirit!" came from her as the Gendou Mazou had formed. A smirk crept onto her lips as Rina had raised her hand and two chains shot out of the vessel.

"Naruto!" shouted the Hachibi which had thrown itself in front of him and was now slowly but surely being sucked in. "Bee, dude!"

Briefly, Rina shrugged. That was one less job the Hachibi had given her. How fitting. But this was not enough. The next chains shot out of the vessel, which Gaara tried to fend off with his sand.

Worked pretty well until he missed a chain, which hit Naruto's stomach squarely. "Naruto!" shouted Gaara worriedly, trying to get the chain off of him somehow.

"How ridiculous...", spoke Rina who had pulled the chains back into the vessel and the Hachibi's mouth had come first. Only then did several chakras come out of Naruto, with the Kyuubi coming right along with them.

Deep inside, Rina knew what she had just done and felt a brief pang in her heart as the Kyuubi was completely withdrawn from Naruto.

"Forgive me..Naruto..." she thought before Madara appeared beside her.

At that moment when she had seen the Uchiha, Rina gathered the chakra within herself that was directly connected to the god tree. "Well then. I'll go become the Juubi's Jinchuuriki, then." said Madara, with Rina looking to Gaara, who had flown away with Naruto.
