Hikari's Assault
"Okay. We've done enough medical jutsu. She has to be taken to the hospital. Lady Tsunade can finish what we have started. This is so odd, all of her internal organs are basically collapsing." Sakura said.
Ino looked at Shizune's body."Lady Shizune."
Sakura picked Shizune up and carried her on her back.
"Ino, let's go. I have a feeling who ever attacked Shizune might still be in the area. And they may be coming for us." Sakura commanded.
Ino nodded her head.
*The girls are on their way to Konoha and only 3 miles away*
"Sakura, who do you think could have done this to Lady Shizune?" Ino asked.
"I don't know. But whoever did it. They are powerful. And neither of us could take them out." Sakura said."Let's pick up the pace. The Leaf Village is dead ahead.
"Right." Ino said.
*They make it to the village entrance*
"Sakura! Ino!" Izumo shouts.
He and Kotetsu run out to meet the two girls and the injured Shizune.
"What happened?" Kotetsu asks.
"We aren't sure, but she was in a fight. And she didn't come out on the winning end. I'm going to take her to the hospital. Ino, go warn Lady Tsunade of what has happened."Sakura ordered."And also, notify Lady Tsunade of Shizune's condition.
Ino jumps on rooftops and heads towards Tsunade's mansion.
Sakura takes Shizune to the hospital.
"Sakura!" a medical ninja shouts as Sakura enters the hospital."What's happened to Lady Shizune?"
"She was attacked. I don't know by who. I need you to take her to the ICU. This is critical."Sakura says as she hands Shizune over to the medical ninja.
He puts her body on a stretcher and another medic grabs a stretcher and Shizune is taken to the ICU.
Sakura watches as they rush Shizune off.
While Sakura was at the hospital, Ino was at Lady Tsunade's door.
"Lady Hokage!" she says as she opens the door.
Tsunade has a suprised look on her face.
"Yes?" she says calmly.
"It's Lady Shizue!" Ino says.
Tsunade has a shocked look on her face.
"She was in a battle. We don't know with who, but she's in critical condition. Sakura and I did what medical ninjutsu we could on her, but it wasn't enough. She is in the hospital now." Ino explained.
Tsunade immediately ran from behind the desk and past Ino. Ino followed.
"What was her condition?" Tsunade asked.
"She didn't respond when we went to her. All of her internal organs were collapsing. We don't know how, but it happened." Ino explained as they ran.
"It can't be!" Tsunade thought.
"Ino, go to Shikamaru and get him to give you his father's book of medicine." Tsunade said.
"Ok." Ino said and she jumped onto a building.
"Only one person is capable of causing such damage to anyone. But I have to clarify it." Tsunade thought.
*Tsunade arrives at the hospital*
"My Lady!" the nurse at the front desk says.
"Where is Shizune?"Tsunade asked.
"Lemme see,"the nurse said as she reads a paper,"She's in the ICU."
Tsunade runs to the elevator and goes up to the fourth floor. When she is on the floor, she runs to the room highlighted ICU.
When she enters,Sakura says"Master."
"How is she?" Tsunade asks as she walks to Shizune's body.
"Not good." Sakura said and she explains that Shizune's condition is actually worse than before.
"One of her lungs has collapsed." Sakura says.
Tsunade looks at Shizune's body. She is shocked. How could this happen to Shizune?
Tsunade tears Shizune's ninja vest and her shirt.
She puts her hand on Shizune's chest and Tsunade's eyes widen.
"This isn't good." Tsunade is worried and aggrevated. She stomps her foot and the floor trembles."Where is Ino with that book!"
Ino had just recieved the book from Shikamaru's father and was only 20 meters from the hospital.
*Ino enters*
"Where is Lady Tsunade?" she asks the nurse, a different one than the first.
"I'm sorry Lady Tsunade isn't here." the nurse says.
"What? Ino asks."She has to be, she told me she was coming here."
"Well I'm sorry. She hasn't arrived yet apparently." The nurse says.
Ino walks back and forth for five minutes, unaware Shizune is near death.
"Are you sure Lady Tsunade isn't here?" Ino asks.
"Yes I'm sure." the nurse answers.
Ino waits another five minutes.
"Where is she? She knows Lady Shizune's condition." Ino said.
Then, the floor trembled.
"This is the second time this floor has trembled." the nurse says."I've been here 15 minutes and this is the second one."
"WHAT!" Ino says."Fifteen minutes. Where is the nurse who was here before you?"
"Coming in the door." the nurse says and Ino turns to see another nurse entering.
"Hey, is Lady Tsunade here?" Ino asks.
"Mmmmhmmm." The nurse says, her mouth filled with dumplings."She's in the ICU with Shizune."
"Thanks!" Ino said as she runs to the elevator and goes to the fourth floor.
As she was going up Tsunade had lost her patience. She was also headed to the elevator. When it opened she saw Ino.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Tsunade asks in an angry voice.
A terrified look came on Ino's face.
"I... I...," Ino began, but Tsunade took the book and ran in the ICU. Ino followed her and saw Shizune laying on the table.
"Sakura, start generating your chakra. Ino, you find the section of collapsing organs and start mixing the ingredients for the medicine. We don't have much time." Tsunade demands.
*They all begin to work and Ino mixes up the medicine and gives it to Tsunade*
"Okay Sakura, Put your hand on the surface of the bowl and get some of it and put it on Shizune's naval. And from there slowly and carefully insert it inside of her. Once it is inside, force all of your stored chakra into her to make the medicine spread throughout her body."Tsunade says.
"Yes." Sakura says and she does as she is ordered.
When Sakura got the medicine inside of Shizune and forced her chakra inside, Shizune's body began to shake and the Shizune began to cough.
"Lady Shizune!"Ino said.
Tsunade gave a sigh of relief.
"She will be alright." Tsunade said and she ordered two other medics to take Shizune to a hospital room where she could rest.
*9 days passed and Shizune was still asleep*
Tsunade summons Ino to her office in the after noon.
"Yes Lady Hokage?" Ino says as she enters to see Sakura standing by Tsunade's desk.
"Ino, I have a mission for you. Get your father and get him to get 3 other members of your clan to meet up with Ibiki Morino at the interrogation center. There you will have Shizune's body and I need you to go inside her mind and figure out what happened."Tsunade says.
"Yes my lady. But Lady Hokage, why didn't we do this earlier?"Ino asks.
"The medicine we used on her had a fifty percent chance of taking effect on Shizune. The jutsu used on her was that powerful. Make sure your father has the group ready by tomorrow morning. I assume he has taught you how to enter the mind as well?" Tsunade says.
Ino nods.
"Good." Now go notify him and rest up. You will need as much chakra as possible." Tsunade says and Ino leaves the office.
"Master, do you know what jutsu was used on Shizune?" Sakura asks.
Tsunade doesn't answer."It's late. Go home and rest Sakura."
"Yes my lady." Sakura says and she leaves.
"Tomorrow will clear everything up. If this is what I think, then we can't let this go without being handled." Tsunade thought.
*It's nine o'clock tomorrow and everyone is at the interrogation unit*
"Ok. Let's get started." Tsunade says as everyone gets in position."I will be going back to my office. I have some important documents that need to be filed. Sakura will come to report what you find out."
Tsunade leaves.
"Well then, shall we begin?" Ibiki asks.
Everyone gets in position and they make hand signs to gather chakra and they put their hands on the table, Inoichi's hand goes on Shizune's head and they begin to access her mind.
It wasn't hard to find everything. They saw the girls walking to recieve the package meant to be given to Lady Tsunade. And they saw them coming back. Then they see when Shizune wakes up and walks out and begins the battle.
"Sakura." Inoichi says.
"Yes?" Sakura asks.
"Hurry and tell Lady Tsunade the village is going to be attacked." he says and Sakura is shocked.
"What?" she asks.
"There is no time, hurry and tell Lady Tsunade." he demands and Sakura exits the building.
*Meanwhile, outside the village,Hikari is walking towards the entrance*
"Time's up." she says and she walks to the gate.
"Hey!" Izumo says."State your name. Who are you?"
Hikari simply continues to walk.
Kotetsu throws a kunai but Hikari catches it and throws it back and it hits him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Why you.." Izumo says and he tries to throw a shuriken but Hikari catches appears behind him and stabs him in the back.
"Too bad I had to kill you. And you were a good looking one too." Hikari says.
She looks at the Hokage's mansion and is about to begin her mission. She gets 5 kunai and attatches paper bombs to them and she throws them in the air and makes a hand sign and they seperate and go to different spots and they go off, destroying buildings.
Hikari takes a deep breath and makes handsigns and puts her hands on the ground and says"Summoning Jutsu" and up comes a blue dragon. She jumps on top of it. Her destruction of the leaf begins.
