Tsunade's daughter (A Naruto original fanfiction)

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Jūbi's New Jinchūriki

Once Obito was back on the battlefield, he decided to absorb the Jūbi in its entirety and sealed it into himself so he could become its Jinchūriki. That's not what he had planned in the first place, but beggars can't be choosers, right? (wink to Madara)

Mai could sense his chakra as soon as his feet landed on the ground but she couldn't do anything to prevent him from absorbing Jūbi. He was too fast to absorb it. 

"O.....O-Obito....." Mai trailed off in shock as soon as she saw his new form. 

Minato was as shocked as she was. 

"Obito....."

Hashirama could see the distress in her eyes as he was staring at her. This reminded him of his own past story. His friendship with Madara as a child and how they had become rivals as time had passed. Well, they had always been enemies since they clans were at war and hated each other. And even after Konoha had been founded, he had been unable to stop his friend from becoming evil. And in the end he had had no other choice than killing him. 

He was somehow feeling guilty that this was still happening to his descendant. 

Then the start of the fight between the former Hokage and Obito ensued. Anyway, the real Hashirama who had created several shadow clones to help him had no other choice than fighting against the real Madara at some point, leaving the other Hokage, Naruto, Sasuke, and Akira fight against Obito. 

Mai watched the former Hokage fight against him speechless. She really couldn't believe this was happening. Also, she couldn't sense Kakashi's chakra nor see him anywhere on the battlefield..... She shouldn't have let him face Obito all alone.... She inferred that if he was nowhere to be seen, he was certainly still in Obito's dimension, but in what condition? 

If he wasn't coming back, this meant.... 

No, that couldn't be possible......

Mai froze even more in her spot at the thought, a very unpleasant feeling inside her making her shiver. She was starting to have a stomach ache. 

Still, perhaps he wasn't dead. At least Mai was silently praying for that. 

But what if he were seriously injured and left dying without nobody to heal him? Mai couldn't go join him, unless..... She could still try to use her Flying Thunder God Technique to go join him. After all, she had managed to get out of there with it, even though it had consumed a lot of her chakra. 

Things were now getting really, really bad. 

She just couldn't leave the battlefield without helping her predecessors and the others. She was the current Hokage, but she was also a medic...

"Obito!! Stop this!!" She shouted, hoping she would get his attention. 

She did since he looked at her. 

His face was totally devoid of any emotion. Now he did look like a real monster. 

"This... This is not the real you!! The only real you is the one who wanted to become Hokage! I know that you're not evil and that you want peace too!"

But her words didn't affect Obito in the least. 

"I do, but you just can't realise that your way to achieve it is the wrong one. I offered you to join me, but you won't, and that's too bad for you. Just look at you Mai. You are Hokage now, but that's something you've never wanted to become. You are just ruining your life and forcing yourself to do a job that is useless. The world hasn't changed since we were children. And even as the Hokage, you've lost many precious people, including your adoptive father. You failed to protect them as you said you would. And you're just gonna end up like all the other Hokage. Is it really the life you want?"
