บท 36: Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 36
( With Orochimaru )
The boy was confused as hell, he couldn't see a thing in this unnaturally thick mist. Whoever was holding such a wide spread water style jutsu for so long, over such a wide are had to have a lot of chakra and experience.
Which meant high chunin at the very least…
The clearing was now silent. Much too silent. And he didn't like that one bit…
A green blur stepped in front of him in the flicker of a second, his eyes widening at being so outclassed in detecting his presence until the very last moment.
Though his yellow slitted eyes narrowed in on hi enemy that was now in front of him dangerously, his feet splitting apart in a readying stance to go on the offense.
His fist cocked back and swiftly made way for his opponent's face, whose face was completely wrapped up by an orange scarf with only his eyes visible to him, and those too barely.
He smirked when his fist was about to make contact quite smugly at seeing his non suspecting face, no doubt his own vision was hindered too with this thick mist…
His eyes widened in shock when he hit nothing but thin air…
"Impossible! He couldn't have seen my swift attack without at least dodging it with all this hindrance to vision. But where did he go, how could he just vanish-" a sole connected under his chin with a harsh smacking sound ringing throughout the clearing.
He was launched up like a rocket from a bottle and flew up with a hacking cough, the illusion now broken to make his vision quite clear from the experience of pain he had just had.
"The Dancing Leaf Shadow which means he would now follow up from under me…" he surmised, focusing his vision back completely and glanced back to see nothing but the ground under him leaving him quite baffled.
A blunt object made contact with his forehead roughly with quite a punch pumped into the blow, roaring him down towards the ground at blurring speeds.
"Ack-" he coughed out, his body making contact with the ground in a crunching noise and his slitted eyes rolled back into his head while the sweet whisper of unconsciousness took over him.
Sakumo landed down onto the ground on one knee with Duy coming by his side and poking the unconscious boy with a stick to make sure he was out lest he needed another smack to his head.
Sakumo sweat dropped asking him if he wasn't being unyouthful by acting unconscious but smiled at their perfect execution.
"Will Naruto be alright? That youthful girl had quite a lot of strength in her taijutsu, he should have let me go…" Duy asked worriedly when they saw no sign of their third teammate and Sakumo merely smiled and shook his head.
"No, Naruto was our best bet to take down Tsunade swiftly and silently.
He knows quite closely so he had the advantage of knowing everything about her while not knowing he 0was the one who was attacking her. Plus, he wouldn't have let either of us try to fight her anyways…"
He mumbled the lat part as an afterthought much to the confusion of the green clothed boy, who wrapped his scarf back around his neck like usual and tied it up.
"Why is that?" Duy asked curiously getting a sigh from Sakumo.
"Because we might have hurt her in the process, that is something Naruto won't let happen if he has anything to say about it…" he spoke sagely, confusing the youthful boy even more and Sakumo waved his hand dismissively to let the topic drop for now.
"…it's their own thing, just leave it at that." he said and Duy nodded hesitantly while Sakumo put two of his fingers in his mouth and took a deep breath.
FEWHHH….
Naruto's ears perked up upon hearing the classic whistle tune of Sakumo and he stood up, settling Tsunade comfortably in his arms bridal style, only for her to cuddle up in his arms like an infant and mumble about disturbing her so much.
His lips twitched upwards in amusement, and he looked up over to the edge of the pit. Channeling chakra to his feet, he jumped up and out of the hole to make his way to the rest of his team.
Sasuke and Hiruzen sat contemplatively while watching Duy move in to confront Orochimaru. Hiruzen's eyes widened when he saw the eccentric boy go in for the kill with a move that surely would leave some lasting damage to his pupil.
His wrist was caught before he could though, and he looked on at his father only to see the man having his eyes fixed on the fight and followed his gaze.
He was surprised to see Duy end his technique halfway and Sakumo came flying off from a tree and loomed straight over an unsuspecting Orochimaru with his sword held in both his hands over his head.
He brought the weapon down, smashing it's hilt with Orochimaru's forehead and Hiruzen winced when the boy landed in a head of dust but he did sigh in relief that the damage had been contained at a lot less than what it could have been.
Both Sarutobi's watched Sakumo whistle and a few moments later, Naruto walked in with a sleeping Tsunade curled in his arms without a care in the world. Both pair of eyebrows shot up and they wondered how it was that the boy had managed to pull that off without even a scratch over Tsunade.
The cigar smoking man jumped down from his branch and walked out to confront his students who were swiping off the bells from the unconscious genins.
"You done?" all three members of Squad Seven spun around hearing a voice from behind them only to see Sasuke standing there with crossed arms with a raised eyebrow.
The three nodded in unison and Duy stepped forward with the bells in one hand and a rolled up scroll in the other.
"Yosh! Mission accomplished sensei!"the boy boomed in excitement, handing the man the two items who nodded curtly in return while taking them off his hands.
"Just one scroll of intel? You would have more chances with more scrolls…" Sasuke piped in to the three genin who shook their heads in unison yet again.
"No sensei, that intel is perfect. We trust in Sakumo…" Naruto chimed in by placing a hand on his friend's shoulder.
Sasuke glanced at Duy only to see a sparkling smile with a classic nice guy pose being given to him and he nodded, throwing the bells back to Naruto and unfurling the scroll to read it.
His eyes scanned it's contents quickly in a well-mannered way, while Hiruzen made his way to see what was going on just as Sasuke ended his going through of the intel provided by his team.
He looked up, blowing out a cloud of smoke and nodded to them.
"You all pass." he spoke, and the three cheered as their hyper excited teammate pulled them in for a bone crunching hug.
"For now, I may as well send you back to the Academy if I deem it so…" he added, but the three didn't quite hear him and he flickered away before handing the scroll to his son who let the curiosity get the better of him and decided to read what was it that was written in the scroll.
His eyebrows rose in surprise as it had all the flaws and weaknesses that they had witnessed in the fight along with how it could have been better used, had they minded their surrounding a bit better.
But it was the last line that made a feeling of pride swell up even within him.
...
Squad Six could have done a lot better had they pooled their resources together like we did.
