A surprising twist


"On three?" I whispered.

"No now!" Replied Sammy.

At the 'now' she jumped off, and I followed.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Benu and other jam ninjas storm in
and we all had only one goal. No matter what it cost us, we had to do our job and work off our debt to Kay.

"Still the same order, Sammy?"

The little one nodded with tears in her eyes "The extinction of all Kagen!"

We knew from the start that it would come to this.
Benu had smuggled the forged contracts into the chiefs' drawers. The illusion of jam treatment, that was Kay's perfect plan. He had rounded up us Iwa Nuke Nins and bribed us. Each in a different way. He'd patched me up again after finding me half-dead under a heap of rubble. He had promised Sammy that he would get her brothers out of jail. Everyone had their own little story in which Kay played a very big role.But I still couldn't believe the other ninjas had fallen for us until now.

Who believes in bullshit like a jam collar?

I pulled out two shuriken and threw them straight at two Konoha ninjas blocking our path. Everything was raging around us.

I noticed on the edge that my cat had pounced on a ninja and was now scratching it properly. Ninjas who belonged to us fought bitterly against the others. I dropped all of my gene jutsu, now I guess I needed all of my chakra. I think Sammy and I have never fought so hard. It seemed to me as if we were giving in to a sea of ​​corpses. Okay, most of the ninjas were already battered or were kept in check by our 'colleagues'. After minutes, which had seemed like hours to us, we were in the center of the turmoil. We, that was Kay, Benu, Sammy and me. We looked exactly the five Kagen in the eyes. Their gaze was directed at us like a silent reproach, but there was nothing we could do.Then I looked back at Kay, who stepped forward and grinned.

"Jam cure? How could you believe in this shit? That was just utter nonsense." He made a disparaging gesture. "But the future belongs to me anyway ..." Then everything happened very quickly. Kay pulled out a kunai and threw it towards Hokage.

It was like time stood still.
I closed my eyes.
A draft passed me.
"FOR KONOHA!"
I heard a body collapse.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Sammy lying there.
She had chosen her way.
She wanted to die as a ninja of Konoha.
Tears welled up in my eyes, after all, the little bay had been my best friend.
Now it was time to vote for me too. Kay or Suna?

Kay had almost completely restored half of my body to me with the help of his blood legacy, as he was able to shape and create metal at will due to his blood legacy.
But the Suna-Nins were like family.Sammy had a lot to lose, no one would save her brothers now, but me? I was just a pawn on a chess board. Very easy to sacrifice.

I slowly undid one of the two headbands.

I think I chose the one and only right path.
The Jam-Gakure headband fell to the floor.

"For Suna!"

And I rammed my claw into the back of the former jam shop.
Blood and metal splash towards me.

I heard the pounding of Kay's heart loud and clear, as if it were my own.

Bum Bum. Bum Bum.

I do not care.

Bum Bum. Bum Bum.

Just as I didn't care when I was banished from Iwa because I was suspected of spying on the Tsuchikagen with my cats.

Bum Bum. Bum Bum.

I had finally had a chance to live in the past month.

Bum Bum.

For that I wanted to thank Gaara-sensei and Temari-San and last but not least Kankuro, who was always ready for a joke.Boom

Silence.

The nightmare was over.
