Author: As a reminder, expect some over and underpowerings for characters of both Bleach and Naruto (both of which I don't own)
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. There's none in this chapter but italics are flashbakcs.
Chapter 3- Standing before Heaven
The three missing nins turn to see had tried to attack them. It was the rescue force, made up of Team Gai, Team Kurenai and Naruto.
"The Green Beast of Konoha, I've so much about you," Soi Fong said aloud.
Gai and Kurenai realizes now who stands before them, the missing nin from the land of Lost Heaven.
Kurenai starts to get worried about their chances of succeeding their mission. (Of all the possible ninja's, it had to be these three.)
The leader broke the silence, "Soi Fong, take care of them."
"Understood."
"Hitsugaya, we'll continue with the mission."
The leader and Hitsugaya jump off as Soi Fong removes her white jacket and readies for battle.
"Hey wait you!" Naruto screamed to the leader and began to chase after them.
Soi Fong appeared instantly in front of him and is about to hit him with a kick until Lee jumped in to block the attack. (This kid is fast, but not fast enough.)
She moves again behind Lee this time, Gai came in to stop her attack.
"Soi Fong, missing nin from the land of Lost Heaven. A Taijutsu expert who is unable to use any ninjutsu or genjutsu," Gai told them as he held her leg. "Kurenai, take the others and go ahead. Me and Lee can handle this."
"Good luck," Kurenai wished him. Her team, Naruto, Neji and Tenten jump off to give pursuit to the other two missing nins.
"Don't underestimate me," Soi Fong kicked at Gai who released her leg and joined Lee.
Gai gives off his trademark smile and thumbs up, "Don't underestimate us either! Lee, take off your weights, won't be able to fight unless you do."
"Yes sir!"
Soi Fong charged in and Gai blocks another kick aimed for his face. Gai went for an uppercut, only to have his hand caught and used as a catapult for her to jump over him. Gai just stands there as she land behind, she immediately ducks down to avoid a kick by Rock Lee and hops up to evade a low sweep kick by Gai. Lee brings his foot back around to hit the air as Soi Fong vanished. Gai and Lee also accelerate to high speeds.
A tree bursts into tiny pieces as the young woman narrowly misses Lee. The boy's counter kick ends up getting caught and she throws him away. The teacher comes in with another kick, which ends up being blocked. Soi Fong tries to stab him with her fingers but he just jumps high above revealing Lee flying in, his fist wound up. Soi Fong pushes the fist to her side and counters with a punch to the face. Gai flies down and she moves to the side as his fist breaks apart the branch.
She does a spin kick to hit Gai in the back and send him to the air. Lee breaks through the branch under her, his foot hitting her gut. Lee continues with a barrage of kicks to send her higher, Soi Fong notices the cloth around his arms are loosened. After a few hits she catches one of his feet and holds it. Lifting her leg, she bring it down to send her heel to his stomach, making him feel pain. His body drops down but the woman quickly follows intending to kill him with a finishing kick.
Before she could hit her target, a leg hits the woman in the gut and Gai kicks her off. He chases after the flying body as it lands on another tree. Gai backs off when Soi Fong kicks, only to be hit in the shoulder by hidden kunai fired from her leg. He quickly removes it before getting hit in the face. Lee flies in to hit her back while she was recovering from the attack, the loose cloth on his arms were torn off.
"Gai-sensei!"
"I'll be fine Lee, it's only a scratch," yet all of them can clearly see a small red color coming out of where the kunai hit.
The woman smiles a bit before she speaks, "That is not only a 'scratch'. You'll find out soon."
They accelerate once more, their punches and kicks connecting over at high speeds.
The leader continues onward carrying the unconscious girl with the white haired boy right behind him.
Hitsugaya wondered how long it will take for Soi Fong to finish her battle and catch up. The only real threat he could acknowledge from the rescue squad was the one she called 'Green Beast'. Not only that, to send some kids after them, either the village is very stupid or those kids are very close friends to the girl. Just who is she? That won't matter in the long run, those kids are no match for the powers of Lost Heaven.
"They have come," the leader spoke out.
Hitsugaya grabs his sword and turns around, deflectingsome aerial weapons headed straight for him. Without saying a word, he knew he was ordered to stay and fight them off. The leader keeps jumping forward as the white haired boy sees his opponents come to him. He notices the 'Green Beast' and the boy that looked like him weren't with this group. This makes things difficult, a Jounin and several Genin against a missing nin, normally that would be nothing to worry about for him. But if only two of them stayed to fight Soi Fong, how strong could they really be?
Checking out his enemies, one of them had the exact same eyes as Hinata. There was a dumb blond, an afro with dark shades, a girl with buns, and a boy that is with his dog. The Jounin doesn't seem to be that much of a threat though.
"Where is Hinata-sama?"
"You're a Hyuuga too. Why would you ask me when you're not going to succeed?"
"What?" Neji activates his Byakugan and all of the boys give the white haired kid a mean look.
"You better tell us where she is!" Naruto yelled out.
Hitsugaya pointed with a thumb over his shoulder, "She's that way, but you don't want to go there, even if you do manage to get past me. Our leader is much stronger then me or Soi Fong, you will never stand a chance. That is, if you pass me. I already know you won't be able to defeat me."
"Oh yeah? Says who?"
"Hitsugaya Toushirou. Missing nin from the land of Lost Heaven."
Naruto charged forward with a kunai in hand. The swordsman blocks it with his blade and pushes Naruto back. His eyes start to twirl as what he sees is becoming altered.
(Genjutsu!) Hitsugaya closes his eyes and begins to focus. "Your Genjutsu won't work on me!"
He flash steps behind where he feels Kurenai, the Genjutsu stops and Kurenai has been cut deep, slowly she falls over before falling off the bracnh completely. Shino and Kiba catch her as she falls and lays her on the ground below the trees.
Shino does a quick examination while Hitsugaya turns around to face everybody else he past. They gave him a mixed looks of both surprise and hartred.
(They're determined, I'll give them that. But it'll make more then mere determination to succeed.)
Kurenai is still able to speak, "I'll be fine, just focus on keeping alive yourself. That kid is not like anyone you've faced before."
"She's just been cut deeply," Shino explained. "She's alright for now but shewon't be able to move. We'd best leave her here."
"GO!" Kurenai told them.
"Alright," Kiba acknowledged.
Shino and Kiba join the rest of their team to face against the white haired swordsman. Hitsuagay holds his weapon in front of him and readies to face off against the five Genins. The air is tense as the two sides only stare at each other, as if waiting for the first move. Naruto inched his leg, Hitsugaya tightens his grip on his weapon, a bead of sweat sliding down both of their heads. Neji watches both their actions, himself very nervous.
Naruto suddenly runs fast, Neji follows right behind him. Hitsugaya jumps high into the air watching the running ninja. Ice starts to cover his sword and then the sky quickly turns dark. Neji stops to see what he is doing while Naruto continues onward.
(What a huge amount of chakra! He's creating water and ice from his chakra?)
"Set upon the frosted heavens," Hitsugaya cried out. "Hyourinmaru!"
With a swing of his sword, a long snake like dragon emerges from the ice and water. The dragon flies around the swordsman to give the Genin a see of its speed and size, all but Naruto stood watching it dance around, wondering what it could be capable of. Hitsugaya points with his sword to give an order to it, attack the ninja that was running away, Naruto.
"I won't let you escape! Go Hyourinmaru!"
The ice dragon dives as Kiba, Shino and Tenten quickly get out of its way. Everything it came into contact with froze, covering it in a thin layer of ice. Naruto hears several noises of breaking braches behind him, he turns to look at the blue dragon heading straight for him.
"KAITEN!" Neji jumps in front of Naruto and activates his Whirl. The two chakras collide and the dragon is slowly being disintegrated as it hits the Kaiten, freezing the chakra to make a small dome around Neji. Neji breaks through the ice with his palms.
Still in the air, Hitsugaya swings his sword once more to create another dragon of water and ice.
Neji looks at Naruto, "Go Naruto! Save Hinata-sama! If anyone can do it, it's you! We'll deal with things here!"
"Leave it to me! Do your best guys!" Naruto runs off.
(What is that girl to you? To send off only one member, knowing full well he doesn't stand any chance to beat the leader. Yet still hoping he can get her back. I want to know, I want you to tell me without saying anything... what she means to you.)
Hitsugaya points his sword at the remaining Genins. The dragon dives down as Neji, Tenten, Kiba and Shino watch it come down from the sky.
