Gaara and Oonoki are looking at the huge face on the sky, pale, and shocked. Gaara breaks the silence.

Gaara: Tsuchikage, how can we handle that?

Oonoki: I researched it, after it killed my sensei. I know how it works, but in our present state, we are as good as dead Kazekage. That technique is the masterpiece of the Hozuki clan. It’s a variation of the Hydration Technique. A Hozuki clan member is trained since a child to learn how to liquify. The Second Mizukage improved this technique beyond any other, he vaporized himself. He takes advantage of the water vapor in the air to create a massive cloud of moisturized air; Mangetsu Hozuki tried to master this, however not even him could. This air, mixed with his oil, create a combustible environment.

Gaara: So what is it capable off?

Oonoki: He can use the moisture as an extension of himself, creating a gargantuan version of himself. He can smash us from above with little effort and he can ignite the oil any time, creating deadly explosions. We’re in trouble if we breath it as well… We’ll explode from the inside out. However there used to be a drawback. His molecules are in such state of disorganization, that he cannot get back to his normal state, he will eventually die when he runs out of chakra, that’s how he died. However, he is immortal now, get the problem…?

Second Mizukage: You fools , I told you to run away. Now you’ve awakened my fighting hunger! You will die like the rest of these poor bastards.

Corpses are all around them. Oonoki: Kazekage, if I use another jutsu, I will die… We must retreat. He’s vapor, he can’t be hit.

Gaara: I have something in mind. Hide please.

The sand revolves, creating a sea of arms that reach out for the sky. Before reaching the ghostly moisturized air, they start to crumble.

Gaara: (So this won’t work)

Water bullets rain over Gaara, which counter’s them with his own bullets, sand-made. Droplets of wet sand peacefully fall from the sky.

A column of air condenses into oily water, forming a gigantic arm, that smashes the place where Gaara was standing in, missing for inches. Drops of oily water cover Gaara.

Gaara: ( NO!!)

Gaara is forced to abandon the thin layer of sand covering his skin. The oil explodes, while Gaara observes.

Second Mizukage: Kid run while you can stupid idiot! There’s nothing you can do. Here I come

Oily water bullets rain over Gaara again, and they explode on contact. Gaara shields himself for a brief moment, while getting bombarded.

Kabuto: ( I’ll make him go on full explosion, and wipe out this entire division, that should buy me enough time)

The mass of air glows.

Oonoki: Kazekage retreat! He is about to explode all the oily water in the air!

Gaara: ( Finally) SAND BINDING PRISON

Large amounts of sand cover the mass of moisturized air, totally covering the Second Mizukage, in a huge sand sphere in the sky. The ground trembles as the explosion is contained by Gaara’s sand. The sphere desintegrates, apparently sucessfully making the Mizukage explode himself. When the dust settles, the ghostly face is still seen in the sky.

Oonoki: ( You trully are fearsome…)

Gaara: ( Im…po…ssible…)

Second Mizukage: I TOLD YOU IDIOTS! GET AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN, DON’T LET ME ENJOY THIS FIGHT OR IT WILL GET WORSE. I CANNOT DIE!!!!

Gaara is breathing hard. His last glimmers of chakra are gone. He and Oonoki are at the mercy of the attacks from above. The air condenses the oily water into arms, and fires a multitude of bullets at them, who can’t cast any defensive jutsu.

The bullets hit the are below, causing explosions everywhere; apparently Gaara and Oonoki are hit. When the dust disappears, a ghostly warrior holding a fiery sword, and waving a shield in the air , is seen. Gaara is behind it, shocked. Itachi is seen, with his MS glowing; his Susanoo is wielding the Totsuka sword, and defended the Kages with the Yata Mirror.

Oonoki: (Uchiha Itachi?! Was he summoned too?)

Gaara: Uchiha Itachi ?! What’s the meaning of this?

Itachi: Sorry I’m late, please retreat, I’ll take it from here.
