You'll excuse the usual spiel of, creative liberties and mostly canonical events. This chapter is focused on the two and half years skipped in the Manga/Anime that explain what happened with Konoha/Suna.

Chapter 9: Rising Fighting Spirit or Hyouton (Ice) no jutsu (Technique)

"Suiton! (Water) Fuuton! (Wind) Sensou (War) Hyouketsu (Freeze)!" A soft feminine voice yelled as the room next to Temari exploded with nurses first followed soon after by a massive sheet of ice. One of the nurses turned to Temari whispering in her ear, "I think…your friend is fine she's up and about enough to perform such a jutsu! We examined her before she awoke…and we found that outside of massive exhaustion and a small burn from ice she's fine…but what's odd Temari-kun it's…healing. It's almost like she has Bijuu chakra inside of herself to heal such a wound I can't place my finger on it but I think she's…a tenth Junchuriki." Temari sat upright putting her hand on the nurse's shoulder and shaking her head as she carefully walked into the room. As she did Amewyn was slowly brushing her hair back a long stripe of silver ran down the middle of her hair. Amewyn popped her neck lying back closing her eyes and breathing out hard, "I swear to the nine tailed demons. If that Itachi dares to touch me again I'm going to kill him with my bare hands Pein-sama!" Temari looked into Amewyn's eyes sighing as she smacked Amewyn's cheek with the back of her hand sighing softly. Temari whispered into Amewyn's ear, "Wake up idiot girl you're not in the Akatsuki base anymore, you're in Sunagakure and Itachi isn't near hell…I'd bet he's probably dead." Amewyn rubbed her cheek looking around before she looked down her face resembling a tomato because of her redness. She closed her eyes rubbing her shoulder softly looking into Temari's eyes sighing softly, "I'm sorry Temari-kun. I…I just keep having the same nightmare and…when I turn around I swear I almost feel the Sharingan eyes like they're boring into my soul." Temari turned and made a few quick motions as a nurse nodded and rushed off; she turned looking into Amewyn's eyes. She folded her arms scolding Amewyn, "If you're this weak you don't deserve to be a Chuunin, let alone standing up to being an ANBU. If you think you're weak, you should train and get better than that Itachi boy you fear so much, if you're worried about Sakura don't distance yourself from her. I know of a special fighting tournament, that the Kazekage himself is the sponsor for, but there's one thing Ame-Chan. If you're too weak, you will die. There's nobody there who will help you except for a randomly selected person, and I hope that you're able to protect her better than you could Sasuke." Amewyn sat up moving on the bed reaching for Temari as she started to cry droplets of ice falling on the bed as Amewyn fell onto the bed with her right hand extended.

Temari turned her back smirking happily before she turned to say over her shoulder, "If you're this weak now, I bet your girlfriend Sakura-san must be looking for someone more capable of her needs. In fact…I think I'll pop on by Konoha just to see the cute little pinkie and see if she wants a date or maybe something more." Amewyn gripped her shoulder as the curse seal started to glow brightly as she muttered, "Suiton…Fuuton…Sensou…Hyouketsu…" as she finished the seal stopped glowing as chakra poured forth from Amewyn before exploding violently. Before Amewyn could react Temari had whipped her fan out sending the icy explosion around it freezing the walls and air. Amewyn continued to lie on the bed gasping for breath her curse seal was slowly spreading over her body. Temari smiled softly turning to Amewyn slowly lifting her up to put her on the bed Amewyn looked at Temari breathing heavily. "I…I won't…give…her…up…ever…" Amewyn gasped out softly glaring at Temari as she rubbed Amewyn's head. Temari whispered into Amewyn's ear, "I was taunting you to see how far you would go…and you would fight to the very last bit just to protect her. I almost swore you would have used that chakra cloak or…maybe the tailed techniques, you'd never use them because you know she'd cry out for help." Amewyn looked up exhausted before Temari smiled continuing, "fall asleep now and I'll leave the invitations for the tournament on the bed side." Amewyn nodded as she fell backward, as she slept the days passed as she was tended, when Amewyn opened her eyes a week had passed. As the young woman looked around she gripped the envelope on the stand next to the bed she closed her eyes. As she held the envelope she took a few breaths before she opened it looking in she read it.

"Dear contestant Amewyn Dodonna, you have been selected personally for fighting in a specialized tournament. The prize is special for each contestant, given that we're going to give you a special prize if you are willing to participate. Who will you fight; we have a specialized jutsu that will create your opponents according to you and your partner's strength. You have been personally selected to be paired with a blonde young woman by the name of Kara Lane; she is one of the few kunoichi who could keep up with you. If you see the attached photo you will see that she is from your special area called America, we felt as though her ability would be equal to none other than you." Amewyn took another deep breath looking up from the letter seeing a tall busy blonde with green eyes and blue hair. Amewyn blushed rather heavily her cheeks a visible shade of scarlet as she looked the woman over before getting out of the bed. "It's been such a time little Koori-megami. I thought you'd have forgone summoning me for your own brand of strength." Amewyn walked over to the woman as she talked hugging her softly resting her head on her rather noticeable breasts. Kara smiled as she continued, "going to keep that head on my breasts or are you going to say something?" Amewyn looked up whispering softly, "I…I'm sorry, but I am glad that you were selected to fight with me Kara-kun. I'd like to think that we fight rather well…and it seems you're...so strong and capable of fighting even without me." Kara smiled ruffling Amewyn's hair as she shook her head, "I can fight with ya too little Megami, you just need to fight with someone who's on your side. The director of the fights told me about a neat little trick of yours…and how you seemed to pass out… when you used it. I'm surprised you would use such a risky technique; I mean the constant regeneration we both have is usually tested to be far more capable than that. The nurses kept saying that you had Bijuu chakra and kept calling you a Junchuriki in disguise you just didn't show it." Amewyn smiled rubbing the back of her head as she turned pulling a few silver hairs sighing softly as Kara gripped one and yanked it out. "Hey…I already have enough silver in my hair as is… I swear if this keeps up Sakura's going to think I'm an old lady." Amewyn carefully brushed her hair pulling it into a pony tail as Kara giggled softly as Amewyn turned looking at her curiously. "You hardly look like an old woman with that cute hairstyle. Besides some people think gray hairs are distinguishing, besides if I think it's cute…I bet that little Cherry blossom must think you're the cutest little kunoichi." Amewyn covered her face with her hands as Kara smiled teasingly. "Aw the little girl's going to keep blushing just because she thinks she's hot in Sakura's eyes isn't she?" Amewyn looked up at Kara frowning before she formed a cross with her hands yelling quickly, "Henge (Transform)!" Kara covered her face as a puff of smoke appeared as the smoke cleared a six year old looking girl was looking up at Kara her eyes were visibly bigger and she was frowning. The much younger woman folded her arms looking into Kara's eyes sighing softly, "I am not some play thing for you Kara-kun. I'm powerful and amazing and I can fight like you can and I can …fight…for Sakura I'm not some weak angel."

Amewyn stopped looking up at Kara who was staring at Amewyn her face was stretched in a visible smile. "So Kawaii" Kara shouted as Amewyn looked down at Amewyn before the young girl ran from the room chased soon after by the taller girl. Amewyn whimpered softly as she continued to run barely evading the blonde busty beauty's grappling attempts as Amewyn ran through Temari's legs. Amewyn hid behind the slightly shorter blonde gripping her calves for dear life, Temari looked at the somewhat Chibi (Tinier) version of Amewyn before raising her brow at Kara. "And why is little sister running from you Kara-san, she looks like she's afraid of you for running after her." Temari eyed Kara as she giggled softly rubbing her neck, "I was going to tell little sister…that she's too cute to leave alone. You know how some people…are rather perverse towards such a cute version of the proud Kunoichi…I thought I'd protect her." Amewyn poked her head out whispering towards Temari, "last time I tried this unique Henge no jutsu. Kara told me that if she was within ear shot she'd grab me…and find the nearest closet and…she left me…to figure out what she meant." Amewyn looked up at Kara her cheeks visible ruby as she ducked behind Temari again; Temari grabbed a large scroll from behind her. "Always the fighter never the lover Ame-Chan, Kara-san…I suggest you two hold tight because we're going straight to the stadium. Kazekage Gaara told me that this would be easiest to bring you two together and I hate to end the fight, but we're going now." Kara nodded putting her hand on Temari's shoulder as Amewyn gripped her legs tightly as Temari unrolled the contract causing the trio to disappear into a puff of smoke.
