Chapter 4 – Surprise Attack!?

The 6 cloaked figures that stood at the gate stood still, not moving, and not saying a word.
They each wore jet black cloaks with hoods that covered their faces, but, something about them seemed familiar.

"Who the hell are these jokers?!" Kira snarled.

"Beats me, but my guess is that they were sent" Kuro said.

Kira's snarl grew murderous, slightly frightening Shikamaru and Ino.

"Calm down, Kira-chan" Kuro whispered to Kira, slightly calming her.

"What do you want?" Sakura called to the 6 mysterious figures.

She got no reply, but, one reached to their back and unsheathed a sword.

Shikamaru scowled, "Looks like they aren't to be joked around with"

Kira, however, seemed to smile, "Let's see how good they are before I turn them in to the Hokage" she drew both of her katana and allowed black chakra to swirl around them.

"Or tear them limb from limb" she smiled menacingly.

The cloaked figures stiffened and took up a fighting stance, each drawing familiar weapons.

Kuro recognised them all at once, but decided to play along for a while as he drew his katana.

"Let's just have a bit of fun first, shall we?" he smiled.

The other's got the idea and smiled before they too took a fighting stance.

There was a battering gust of wind as the two groups stood still, but, as it died down, Kira was the first to disappear.

Kuro smirked before he made a few hand signs.

"Fire Type; Dragon Fire Skill!" he called, blowing a stream of fire towards the cloaked figures.

They all stiffened as the fire grew closer, but jumped at the last moment.

Kuro smirked, "They forgot about Kira"

Sakura smirked as well as Kira appeared behind one, who was kicked down to the ground with enormous force.

Kuro lunged forward as the cloaked figure with the sword landed near him, lashing out with chakra embedded katanas.

Ino looked over to the one with the Knuckle Busters, knowing who they belonged to, but decided to play along.

"Shika-chan!" she called to Shikamaru, who was running over to her.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Kagemane no Jutsu!" he called, linking his shadow with the opponents' shadow.

"Right; Mind-body confusion technique!" Ino called, making a rectangle like symbol with her hands.

"Nice one, Ino!" Sakura called, dodging another cloaked figure's attacks.

'It's like this one can see my attacks before I even hit him' Sakura thought, but realized who it was and smiled to herself, grabbing the ninja's wrist as he threw a punch at her and brought him to the ground, pinning him.

Coda, however, was now dealing with two, standing between them with his katanas drawn.

He stood perfectly still, taking note of their stances before he smiled.

The two figures lunged at him, one with a sword drawn, the other with two kunai, but, just as they were about to strike him, he jumped.

The two figures slightly lost their balance, but it was enough for Coda to bring them to the ground by landing on their shoulders.

"Are you ok to deal with this one?" Shikamaru asked Ino, who were dealing with the same person.

"Yeah" Ino replied.

Shikamaru nodded before he released the jutsu and ran over to Coda, linking one of the cloaked figures shadows with his like the others.
Kuro managed to clip the nerve in the cloaked figure's leg, making him collapse.

Kuro walked up to him and pushed him onto his back roughly, holding a katana to his neck as he knocked the sword out of the cloaked figures hands.

Kira, by now, had black chakra swirling over her arms and her left, sky blue eye had become fiery amber, like her right eye that was of a wolf's.

The cloaked figure she was battling stood, cuts covering him, but, as he met her eyes, he stepped backwards a couple of times.

Kira smirked before she suddenly appeared before him, harshly thrusting the handle of a katana into his stomach.

He coughed up blood before he collapsed to his knees, clutching at his stomach as blood trickled from his mouth.

"We'll ask again; why are you here?" Kira snarled as the chakra died down.

"We were sent" the cloaked man replied, his voice hoarse, but Kira recognized it never the less, even though she decided to play along.

"Who were you sent by?" Kira asked, but with a less forceful tone.

The man didn't reply as his body trembled.

"I asked who you were sent by!" Kira snarled, knocking the man back with a foot that she forcefully placed on his chest and pressed down, making the man cough up more blood.

"The Fifth…" was his response as his hood fell back and revealed the face of her senpai, Inazuma (O.C).

Kira scowled as she released the pressure on his chest.

Inazuma gave a small laugh, "Surprise…"

Kira snarled as she stepped off him.

The others released the cloaked figures they were holding, whom slipped their hoods off to reveal the faces of Kurenai, Kakashi, Asuma, Kitzuna (O.C) and Tennou (O.C).

Sakura was surprised that she had beaten Kakashi, but, then, she wasn't because she felt like he was holding back.

"Good work, Sakura" he said as he stood.

Sakura sighed.

Kuro walked over to Inazuma after being congratulated by Tennou.

Once they had all been congratulated, the 6 cloaked Jounin waved before disappearing.

"Well, that was troublesome" Shikamaru said, rubbing the back of his head.

"I'll have to agree with you, Shika-chan" Ino said, turning to him.

"I'm going to kill Tsunade-sama!" Kira snarled.

Kuro laughed, "I thought you'd say that"

Coda walked over to Sakura, who was looking in no particular direction.

"You were really good, Sakura-chan" he commented, catching Sakura's attention.

Sakura turned to Coda with a smile, blushing slightly, "You were really good too!"

Coda smiled, but it faded quickly and was replaced with a thoughtful expression as he blushed slightly.

"Um…well, we should probably head back in, shouldn't we?"

Sakura nodded nervously as the group headed back into the academy.

'Ah, I feel so nervous around him, maybe I do like Coda-kun...' Sakura thought as she walked with Coda, occasionally glancing up at him.


Yay, chapter 4!

I hope it's good, but I think I kinda screwed the ending up..eheh
Well, anyway, I still hope you all like it and that it's good.
Please review and tell me what you think.

Also, Kira is a demon, not a Jinchuuriki, but a plain old, destructive demon called Honoo Okami (Flame Wolf). I'll try and do something on her so you kinda get the idea of who/what she is.

I put an (O.C) to the character's I've created that I introduced in this chapter, so I hope it somehow helps.

well, that's all for now, I'll try to upload asap.

Ja ne!
