That girl, she always gets herself in trouble, Sasuke thought after glancing at the field of dust where Azumi was last located.
He looked back just in time to dodge his enemy's attack. He took notice of the others.
Naruto and Sakura were a good time, despite them bickering all the time. Kakashi was doing fine just the way he was. What else did you expect of the world famous Copy Ninja?
He stole a glance at his whited hair teammate, but couldn't spot her once more.
Dang it, Azumi! Sasuke yelled his head.
"Uh, uh, uh, Sasuke, you should pay attention during a battle," Kairo, taunted. The Uchiha grunted and landed two kicks on his opponent's stomach. But he couldn't stop worrying about Azumi.
Asahi herself was terrified.
Who wouldn't be when three Jounin-leveled shinobi were after your life?
Kakashi's eyes narrowed. He knew she was strong, but did she make the last move? He ducked from the swipe of a sword and fired a punch at the missing nin.
Azumi's opponent, Rai, smirked and let out a mocking laugh.
"That was big talk for a little girl that couldn't even dodge my attack!" he sneered.
"Rai, get the girl and let's leave!" Kairo ordered. Rai nodded and lunged for the trembling girl. "Come here, princess. I won't hurt you," he said before cracking a smirk," much."
Asahi squirmed out of his reach. "Get away from me!" she cried.
"Kuso...," Sasuke swore before activating his Sharingan. "Get away from her!"
Rai shook his head. "No way!" He just gripped onto the princess harder, starting to bruise her delicate skin. He was shocked when the ground below him broke and a fist came in contact with his chin. The impact caused him to fly upwards and land on his knees.
Now standing protectively in front of Asahi was a slightly injured Azumi.
"As if I'm going to let you take her without a fight," the Genin said, wiping the dirt off her cheek.
"How'd you get out of it?" Rai demanded.
"Let's just say this thing happened before." Azumi thought back to the time her, Sasuke, and Naruto were trapped in Haku's ice dome and he almost killed Sasuke, who had thought quickly and concentrated the chakra to his feet.
She quickly turned back to her client and gave her a thumbs up. "I'm here for you, hime. I won't let anyone hurt you."
"Hey!" Everyone turned their attention- or when they could without getting hurt- towards Kakashi. "Get on the ship!"
Azumi quickly grabbed Asahi and navigated towards the ship.
Rai narrowed his eyes dangerously and pulled out four shuriken.
Nobody ignored him.
He fired them all at the two girls running towards the ship. Unfortunately, Azumi didn't have good enough reflexes to pull out her kunai and block his attack. Instead, she defended the princess with her arm, causing all four weapons to strike her arm.
Rai took out four shuriken once more and flung them at the Genin. They were all shocked when Sasuke jumped in front of her and performed a series of hand seals.
"Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" he called out and brought his fingers up to his mouth before breathing out a gigantic ball of fire. He then turned around.
"Go," he ordered.
Azumi threw him a grateful look and continued leading Asahi safely towards the ship. Asahi climbed on quickly with Azumi tailing right behind her. Sasuke came next. Azumi winced she felt a sting coming from her wound. Asahi took notice of this and started freaking out.
"Are you okay, Azumi? I'm sorry! I'm so, so, so sorry!" she cried.
Azumi shot her a reassuring smile. "No, I'm fine. It's not your fault."
Sakura and Naruto aboard the ship.
"Kakashi-sensei, come on!" Naruto bellowed. The Jouninnodded. As the ship began to sail away, retreated. Their enemies seemed unfazed. Instead, they had another plan in mind.
"We're going to attack them when they arrive, aren't we?" the one with the chains, Kaoru, spoke.
Kakashi's opponent, Tsukasa, nodded and smirked.
"Let's go. I've got a plan in mind."
On the Ship
"Ow... ow... OW! WILL IT KILL YOU TO BE MORE GENTLE?" Azumi hollered. Sasuke was dabbing her wounds with an alcohol dipped cotton ball.
"It's your fault for not dodging in the first place," he grumbled.
"Stupid Uchiha- OWWWW! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!"
"Will you two keep it down in there?"
Azumi blushed at Naruto's comment. The two Genin were inside Azumi's new assigned room on the ship, and Sasuke was treating her wound. Naruto and Sakura were standing outside the room talking about something with Kakashi and Asahi. Why they didn't enter the room was… actually, Azumi wasn't sure.
Azumi could have swore she heard Sasuke mumbled something after his breath.
No cliffhanger this time XD Comment please ^_^ Thanks for those who reviewed!
And to answer some questions, yes, I did get the inspiration after watching the first movie, but my story and the movie is different.
