'She's back.'
That was all he could think about. His old student was back.
But... it wasn't her. He remembered her, clearly. Yes, she was always a little out there, but she wasn't that crazy. She smiled at the weirdest things, but never at hurting children or death. She always chaotic, but never to that extint.
Konohamaru sighed and looked out over the forest from the tower. Kabuto was in the other room, waiting for Ino to show up with another pair of glasses. Minato was pacing behind him, looking incressenly worried. Konohamaru knew he should say something to help his student, but he didn't know what. Honestly, he was kind of cursing the day so many years ago when Moegi convinced him to get a genin team.
He sighed again and shook his head. No time for that now. He wouldn't trade those memories for a second. It was fine, being a sensei. Until the horrible third shinobi war where Shizune's nephew died and she left, then Anko went crazy and she left, then the ninetails attacked and Minato's student died and...
He huffed and looked away from his pacing student to the forest again. These thoughts aren't helping. He needed to keep his mind on defeating Anko, not the girl she used to be. It was his problem she's like this, and he was going to fix it.
xXx
Minato paced, wich was the only way to move without running into things, as his mind was on three different paths.
He could still feel the ninetails chakra humming in his vains, still reacting to his increasing worry and anger. He couldn't calm down, not right now, so he had to focus on keeping the effects on it inner. It would do no good to have glowing red eyes and red, posionious chakra destroying the surroundings when there are multiple people around that didn't know that he was a jinchuuriki.
Even Anko hasn't realized he was an jinchuuriki. No, she was convinced that his son, Naruto, was the jinchuuriki. Naruto was even near the battle field that night. He was watching his mother. Only Jiriaya and Minato were around, and so only Minato could be the jinchuuriki... but Anko didn't know that. She wasn't in the village then. She had left a year before. She knew nothing but the basics of the attack. And, of course, with the whisker-like marks on his cheeks and his fox contract, Naruto was the one she decided was the jinchuuriki.
"Now I am going to turn Konoha's greatest weapon against them!"
Either way, she had come after his son's genin team and was going to come after his son as well. And Minato could think of no way to protect him-to protect anyone-from his insane former teammate (best friend).
Minato closed his eyes and took a deep breath. That led him to his finally path of thought. His former teammate was insane, but... that glance he had gotten of her before she had seen him made her look... broken. He shouldn't get his hopes up, he had been wrong about her before, but... maybe his teammate was still there...
He shook his head. He didn't have time to think of that right now. He had to figure out how to protect his son and his team.
xXx
Kabuto glared at the wall, which was the only thing he could make out without giving him a headache. The entire room was a blur, and he rubbed his eyes for the hundredth time, as if it would help. He hated being without his glasses, as it always led to him sitting in a room, half blind and waiting for Ino to show up with new glasses.
The thought of his glasses brought his mind back to the reason they were broken in the first place. He scowled as he went over the battle in his head again. He let her get away. More than that, really, he let her get him that mad.
He always knew, in the back of his mind, that there was a good chance she would get away. It didn't mean he liked it, or that he wasn't insanly pissed at it, but this was the first time he had seen the bitch since she left the first time. He will give himself three strikes before getting furious at himself. It will just save him stress when fighting Anko.
Strike one then.
But for him to lose his composer like that- to let her get to him like that. Of course she was able to knock him out so fast when he was that mad. His scowl deepened.
He was stopped at beating himself up by the door opening. He tensed for a moment, not registering who it was without his glasses, before relaxing. The only person who would be a blur of yellow, blue, and purple would be Ino. And she would have new glasses!
"Hey, Kabuto!" She said, and no matter how cheery she sounded Kabuto could hear the concern underneath. "Got your glasses!"
"Hey Ino." He said, giving her a smile in her direction to ease her worries. There was nothing she needed to worry about. He held his hand out and watched, trying very hard not to squint, as Ino put the extra glasses into his hand. There was a white blur (flower?) wrapped around the arm or the glasses. He frowned and tried to make it out before he put them on. He remembered clearly the last time Ino brought him new glasses. She had painted the normally black glasses bright purple.
"Oh calm down." Ino said in mock annoyence. "It is a normal flower I saw on the way here. Here," She reached over and took off the flower, placing it on the seat beside him. He gave her a confused look before putting the glasses on, giving a sigh in relief when the blurs when back to normal. He looked back down at the white flower, which turned out to be a pale yellow daffodil. He sent another look at Ino. "Daffodils mean respect. I saw it, and thought of you."
She smiled. "You saved those genin. Good job."
He gave her a smile back before schooling his face and lettling the light catch his glasses. "Bet they won't even make it out of the forest."
"Thank you mister donwer." Ino said, giving him a deadpan look, and he smirked at her. "Come on, Minato-san is going to make a rut in the floor if I don't stop him."
xXv
"Is she waking up?"
"Um... I think. Why?"
"Don't you remember the orders Shink gave us 10 minutes ago? As soon as she wakes up, we pop out!"
"Oh yeah!"
The voices, which sounded vaugly familiar, woke Rin up. The even more familiar name of Shinko woke her up most of the rest of the way. The smoke suddenly appearing and blocking off her airways for a moment made her snap awake and sit up quickly, coughing to get the smoke out. She coughed and rubbed her eyes, before actually taking a look around her. Kakashi and Obito were beside her, both still unconcious, and all three of them were in a empty clearing.
She blinked. Three questions automaticly entered in her head- What the hell just happened, where the snake lady went, and did that actually happen? She looked closer at Kakashi and Obito, and, betweenpanicking about her still-slightly hurt teammates, quickly determined that, yes that did happen.
Luckily she had a little medic nin training.
Rin gathered herself and went up to her downed team mates and went through the signs to activate the check up jutsu that Naruto-sensei taught her when she had confronted him a while ago about feeling useless.
He had laughed and told her that his old teammate once felt the same and that once she learnt the jutsu he was going to teach Rin, she herself had taught that jutsu to his old team. And now it was time to use that jutsu to make sure that her team mates was alright, and if not... then there wouldn't be much hassle to turn the check up jutsu into a healing jutsu.
But the moment she touched her downed team mates, a strange whistling flute tune echoed through the clearing. Rin found herself in a daze, the whole world spinning.
She didn't feel so good anymore. No, not at all. Everything was spinning. She could barely feel the ground or herself at all. Her mind was in a complete shut down as her body locked itself up. She barely heard or registered the three thuds behind her.
"So this is where that bleeping Uchicha were hidding. Those bleeping annoying bleepers! Took us forever to find them,and look! Bleeping look at that! Somebody has already knocked the two we are here for down and out! Bleep!Just bleeping fantastic! And all that is left for us is another bleeping useless tree-hugging konouchi." An angry, female voice that sounded only vaguley familiar to Rin.
"Shut up Tayuya. Just knock down that girl and kill the Uchicha trash. But remember what Anko-Sama wants, leave the silver haired trash." A gruffer, male voice spoke before the sound of frighetning squelchs went through the clearing.
"Oh shut up you bleeper! Can't you bleeping shut up about Anko-Bleeping-sama for one moment?! Would you bleeping kindly do that Kimimaro?!" The one called Tauya said as a splotch of red entered Rin's vision.
"Shut up you bleeping stupid piece of trash!" The one called Kimimaro, a splotch of white and blue, called to the splotch of red as Tayuya entered Rin's spinning vision.
"Pfft... Look at that bleeping stupid tree-hugger. One simple genjutsu and she is completely disabeld." Tayuya said in a nonamused and nonimpressed voice.
Wait...Genjutsu?S he was in a genjutsu? Was that why everything was so messed up?! 'It is!' Rin thought to herself, quickly gathering her chakra.
"TAYUYA!" Two male voices yelled in unison.
"Tayuya! You don't say stuff like that outloud! Especially if it is a sensory disabling genjutsu!" A new voice yelled into the mix. Tayuya looked away from Rin just as she put her hands together.
"Kai!" Rin said as low as she could as she channeled her chakra, breaking the genjutsu.
"What do you-" Tayuya said nonechalantly and dissmisively, but she never got finished as a kunai slashed across her midsection that was immediatly followed up by a punch straight to the face, curtesy of Rin's right hook.
"BLEEEP!" Tayuya cursed as she sailed through the air, crashing right into the middle of the clearing. She held her flute in one hand and the other on her bleeding midsection as Kimimaro and a blue, six armed spider looking guy ran up to Tayuya.
"Bleep!"Tayuya cursed again. Rin quickly rose to her feet as Kimimaro and the spider guy looked over Tayuya as she swore up a storm that would leave even a hardend sailor jealous of her vocabulary.
"NOBODY TOUCHES MY BOYS!" Rin declared heatedly.
And the fight was on.
"So the trash can bark, but can the trash bite?" Kimimaro said in an aggetitated and annoyed voice.
"SHUT THE BLEEP UP KIMIMARO AND KILL THAT STUPID B***!" Tayuya yelled out furioisly, her face as red as her hair as she clutched her stomach. The next second, Kimimaro pulled out a bone white bent sword out of...his arm. Rin took a step backwards as she saw blood dripping down Kimimaro's arm. She raised her kunai and prepared herself for a confrontation.
"Die!"Kimimaro said like it was an order and vanished across the clearing, appearing before Rin in an instant. The sword was raised high above him, ready to stricke. Rin raised her kunai to defend when she saw the end of the sword and realised that the sword did not only look like a bone.
It was bone.
She screamed as the Kimimaro brought the sword down in a vicious slash.
"RIN!" Kakashi yelled as he woke up all at once from the scream and shot up from the ground in a complete state of disarray and shock. Rin managed to leap away from Kimimaro's blade at the last second, but not before Kimimaro managed to cut slightly through the dress. That was as far as it got before his bone sword hit the ground and sent the ground flying in explosion.
Kakashi quickly looked around himself. Obito was still out cold, one of the three... a closer look... Sound nins were already down and cursing like a sailor... And Rin was in a desperate need of help. Kakashi pulled out his sword and rushed to Rin's aid.
Kakashi dashed across the clearing and with a strong shoulder crash sent Kimimaro tumbling away from Rin.
"Ka-kakashi...!" Rin said in a gasp of shock and awe.
"Rin, are you alright?" Kakashi asked, never turning his back towards enemy.
"Y-yes..." She took a deep breath to steady her voice. "I'm a little shacken, but other then that, I am alright... But what about you?" Rin asked nervously.
"I had it worse... But also had it better. You can't have everything in life." Kakashi said before he turned towards the rising Kimimaro at the sound of another squelch as Kimimaro pulled out another blade from his other hand.
"Kidomarou, deal with the trash. I will take care of this piece of garbadge." Kimimaro said annoyed.
"Alright Kimimaro. I will join the match." The six armed genin said eagerly and moved towards the battle.
"Okay, players ready, game ready to start." Kidomarou said eagerly and cracked all his arms. Rin turned around and yelped in suprise and gulped in worry.
"Opponenent ready to begin battle?" Kidomaru asked.
Rin looked like she wanted to do anything else but to fight this freaky genin.
"Battle! START!" Kidomaru yelled and rushed forward.
Kimimaro raised his blades up high and brought them down like a pair of scythes towards Kakashi. Kakashi blocked the two blades and delivered a strong kick straight to Kimimaro's stomach. Kimimaro stumbeld backwards, just as expected. What Kakashi didn't expect was for Kimimaro to vomit up a fountain of blood right ontop of him when he did.
"W-wha-what th-the he-hell?!" Kakashi stammered out in wide eyed shock and suprise before he managed to shake off most of the blood before he wiped the rest of it clear out of his eyes.
"You stupid piece of trash..." Kimimaro growled and rushed forward like a mad bear.
"Oh crap."Kakashi muttered.
Rin barely had a chance to avoid Kidomaru's many fists. But then really she panicked when she noticed that Tayuya was getting back on her feet.
"Would you bleeping look at that. The stupid bleeper was all bleeping talk and no bleeping bite after bleeping all." Tayuya said smugly and pulled out another kunai. But just as she did, a violent buzzing filled the air.
"What the BLEEP!?" Tayuya said over the loud buzzing. The next second, a black cloud of bugs blasted through the trees and straight towards Tayuya. "BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" Tayuya yelled as she was overwhelmed by bugs.
"Hey chick! The game is over here!" Kidomaru yelled and prepared to punch Rin's lights out, but just when he was about to land the hit, he found his arm blocked by a chakra coated hand before another hand slammed right into his chest.
"GYACK!" Kidomaru yelled as he flew backwards. Rin could only look in suprice as Hiashi came out of the bushes and blocked the attacked, byakugan activated and his hands coated in chakra.
"Mother always told me that there are certain degrees of civalry in any battle. And one of them is a small amount of respect. At the very least in a battle between genins." Hiashi said in the kind of voice that gave Rin the chills. The kind of of cold, detatched and emotionless voice that so many of the Hyuuga used. It always spooked her when her friends used it.
"And who is this new contender?" Kidomaru asked, holding a hand to his chest.
"I am Hiashi Hyuuga, Heir to the main branch of Konoha's Hyuuga Clan." Hiashi proclaimed and annoucned before he went into his well trained gentle fist stance.
Tayuya blew her flute and sent the swarm of bugs away,but when she finally managed to get clear of the bugs, she found herself weak on her feet. "Bleep!" She cursed.
Kakashi blocked Kimimaro's double sword drive assult as more blood kept leaking down Kimimaro's chin. Kimimaro growled before he got caught in another coughing fit, spewing more blood onto himself, the ground and onto Kakashi.
"Die trash!" Kimimaro said frustratedly as a pair of arm spikes grew out of his arms and a hock claw grew out of his heel. The next second, he charged towards Kakashi, an even angrier look in his eyes then before.
"GATSUUGA!" A female voice yelled. The next second two brown spinning twisters spun through the air and hit Kimimaro head on and broke his swords before sending him flying. The next next second two Tsume's landed on the ground, a mad look in their eyes, claws raised and fangs ready.
"Tsume!" Kakashi said shocked.
"And who the bleeping hell are you trash?" Kimimaro grunted out through another display of blood.
"Tsume Inuzuka, Heir to the Inuzuka clan and daughter to Konoha's Mad Dog!" Tsume declared and growled at Kimimaro.
"A trashy name is nothing when your whole garbadge clan is nothing but ash. Then all that it amends to is a piece of junk." Kimimaro said in a frustrated grunt as he pulled out a bone like schimitar from each hand.
"TAKE THAT BACK!" Tsume yelled and she and Koharu growled in unison.
"Bitch." Kimimaro said calmly.
Tsume and Koharu stopped, starring wide eyed at Kimimaro.
"Wha-what did you just call me?..." Tsume said in a completely flat voice.
"Oh great... Now you have done it... Well, I can atleast say that it wasn't fun knowing you." Kakashi said, doing the wise thing of backing away from the daughter of Kiba Inuzuka, Konoha's Mad Dog, famous for slaughtering an entire enemy village after their mayor had declared war on all dogs. This was during the third war and all, and the enemy village was in Stone country, but after that, it was declared that Kiba would be the clan head instead of his older sister Hana.
And it seemed like Tsume had inherited her fathers hidden rage.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!" Tsume roared like a wild lion.
All over the forest,birds flew out of the trees and any nearby animals turned tail and ran in the opposite direction.
xXx
At the tower, Kabuto watched the birds of the forest suddenly scatter and fly away. "Well,that's strange..." He said and then he, like every other male in the tower, blanched when the forest was drenched in a massive killing intent.
"Gyulp!" Kabuto said in shock by the suddenly cold air washing over the forest. All over the tower and inside the forest, all males suddenly felt an urge to protect their family jewels. Ino, being the only girl near him, just looked at him weird, not figuring out why the KI was affecting them like that.
xXx
In Konoha, or more precisely, in the Inuzuka Clan compound, Kiba was working with his clan paperwork of the day when he froze. His pen snapped in two in his fingers as the hairs on his neck rised and his gotte turned stiff.
"Okay, who called my little princess a bitch!" Kiba said to no one. Akamura yipped in a low whine.
"Yeah, I agree. That poor bleeper is screwed." Kiba said,patting Akamura's head.
xXx
"HOLY BLEEP!" Kimimaro yelled as he forced to combine his schimitars into a shield to protect himself from the violent gatsuuga barrage that seemed to come from all directions as every time he bounced off one of those damn twisters of pain, the twister he bounced off split into two. He was currently being abrraged by aproximatly ten. The 10 girls all landed on all four and then charged towards him like a rapid dog.
"Bleep." Kimimaro said in a complete dead pan.
"I have to agree." Kakashi said, appearing behind him.
"WHAT THE BLEEP! HOW DID TRASH LIKE YOU COME UP BEHIND ME!" Kimimaro said in complete shock, almost getting a whiplash from his quick turn around, pulling out bone daggers from his hands and folding out both spikes on his arms and legs. Kakashi blocked the spikes and Kimimaro quickly pulled them out into bent swords.
And then his back eurpted into pain.
"DIE YOU BLEEPING B***!" A fuming Tsume roared. "12-as-1-piercing fang twister!" The 11 other Tsume clones all turned into gatsuuga twisters, just like her and all spun around the other before they all became one giant twister before they blasted towards Kimimaro.
The forest shock and Kimimaro's scream could be heard across the entire forest.
"Who's there! Come out you bleeping bleeper!" Tayuya yelled angerily into the forest. The next second, Shibi walked into the clearing and the black cloud flew over to him in a buzz as more of the buzzing black smoke seemed to seep out from under his clothes.
"Who the bleep are you?!" Tayuya said, more then a little bit put off by Shibi's apperance.
"Shibi Aburame. I am here because my team is here and because I find it highly logical and benefical to protect my friends." Shibi said simply and he fixed his glasses so that the little light that was coming into the forest floor was reflected off of them. Tayuya shivered, remembering the proctor. Did every person with glasses do that? The next second, she pulled herself out of her thoughts and charged towards the stoic Aburame, only for said Aburame to explode into a cloud of buzzing beetles. After a moment, she saw him walk out of the clearing nearest the still downed Obito.
Tayuya screamed as she once again disappeared into the swarm of tiny beetles. She blew her flute and released a loud shriek of sound and a strong wind jutsu that blew the swarm off of her. She then pulled out another kunai and prepared to throw it at Obito. But then her vision was filled with the buzzing swarm of beetles.
"Bleep!"Tayuya yelled and threw her kunai.
And Rin screamed.
Rin could only watch in awe as Hiashi and Kidomaru seemingly seemed to dance a battle of death. And Kidomaru was losing.
Punch.
Jab.
Low punch.
Block.
All side charge.
Side step and followed up by a stab.
Kunai slash.
Kunai block.
A spit of web.
Caught by a hand and thrown back.
A second web attack.
Slashed in half by kunai and then followed up by a upwards slash.
A quick dodge,but then tripped by a feet,then kicked in the chin before a double stab at the chest.
'Taking to much damage here. Need to fall back to wait for the right moment...' Kidomaru thought to hismelf as he felt his second to last arm shut down after all its tenketsu points were sealed by one of the sons of the Hyuuga clan head, Hinata The Body Breaker.
That women was vicious when she fought to protect someone or something, and it appeared like the son that would take her place had inherited some of her viciousness in battle.
"Rin! Some assistance would be highly appreciated by now!" Hiashi yelled taking a step backwards to avoid a sloppy, but still dangerously fast punch.
"Oh...Al-alright." Rin said and pulled out a kunai. The next second, a kunai wizzed past the air right in front of her and she screamed.
"RIN!" Hiashi yelled in panic.
"Now's my chance!" Kidomaru yelled and ran straight towards Tayuya who seemed to be surronded by his lunch for today.
Only to run straight into Hiashi.
Wait, Hiashi was at Rin's side and this Hiashi didn't have his hair in a braid.
"You are not going anywhere! BYUAKUGAN!" Hizashi yelled and coated his hands in chakra as his eyes blazed to life and charged straight towards the shocked Kidomaru.
All of a sudden, the bugs retreated from Tayuya. She found herself alone in the clearing.
Wait, the clearing was to quiet. And that swarm from hell had just disappeared. She took out her flute and shattered the genjutsu. A girl gasped and Tayuya saw the red eyed girl in a bandage dress standing next to Shibi, protecting Obito.
"Well. This just became a whole bleeping more interesting..." Tayuya muttered.
In the meantime, Koharu was bitting at Kimimaro's legs, narrowling avoding the deadly spikes everytime.
In the meantime, the still fuming and roaring Tsume kept spinning around in the air.
Kimimaro pulled out two more blades and put them up infront of him to block the spinning drill once again. But instead of a drilling twister that slowly dug through his bones, what hit him was like a bullet. A green bullet, hitting him with immense speed and strength.
"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" The "thing" yelled at the moment of impact while the bones shattered and a boot hit Kimimaro right in the face. And as Kimimaro stumbeld backwards,what could only be described as a mix between a turtle and frog landed before him.
"Gai!" Tsume and Kakashi said in wide eyed shock.
"My Eternal Rival! And my youthful old classmate!" Gai said, quickly shifting from his crouch to his "nice guy" pose. "It is good to see you healthy in this exam!"
"Still an idiot..." Kakashi muttered.
"Wait, why am I only 'old classmate'?" Tsume asked, glaring. "We were friends!"
"Eh." Gai shrugged. "Half and half."
Tsume fumed, but her anger at Gai was stopped by Kimimaro speaking, bringing her anger back at him.
"And who is this trash?" The white haired sound nin asked emotionless. "Another worthless fighter from this trashy village?"
"My most youthfull friends! I shall aid you in combat against this most unyouthfull advisary!" Gai proclaimed and in the blink of an eye shifted into a battle ready stance once again.
"Um... Gai, we don't really need your help. Tsume was ripping him to shreads." Kakashi said with both a sweatdrop and in complete deadpan.
"Nonesense! When a friend is in need, even in a free for all,y ou must always do the most youthfull thing that is possible, and as Lee-Sensei has taught us, that usually is to help a friend in need!" Gai proclaimed.
"Those that abandon their mission are trash, but those who abandon their team mates are worse then trash." Kakashi qouted, looking down. He still haven't quite caught on yet.
"PRECISELY!" Gai said with a beaming smile.
"Could you disgusting piece of trash just shut up and allow me to kill you already you bleeping stupid piece of garbadge." Kimimaro said annoyed and Gai looked downright stricken and heartbroken for a short moment.
Hizashi saw the seen with his all seeing eyes.
"Uh oh... He just insulted his and Lee-sensei's clothes..." Hizashi said in a pitying tone.
And as Hizashi said it, Gai's expression warped from the expression of a kicked puppy to that of a snarling, uncaged beast.
"GATE OF KAIMON: OPEN!" Gai roared.
xXx
All of a sudden, Rock Lee let out a fierce sneeze.
"Yo Lee, you okay?" Naruto asked as he scratched Shinko behind the ears.
"I'm fine Naruto. I just think that one of my most youthfull students did something highly unyouthful and dangerous without my permission." Lee said, pulling out a napkin out of nowhere.
"Oh..."Naruto said a bit confused. Best not to question it.
xXx
The moment after Gai's roar of declaration, Gai disappeared.
The next second, Kimimaro was gone from everyone field of view and where Kimimaro previously was standing stood Gai, panting like he just ran a marathon between Suna and Konoha with his skin litterly steaming.
"Wow..." Tsume said shocked, summing up Kakashi's thoughts in one word.
Kakashi had never seen Gai that angry before. When he thought about it, he had NEVER seen Gai angry before. 'Note to self: Be careful what you say around Gai and his sensei,unless you accidently insult their clothes...' Kakashi and Tsume thougtht to themselves.
The sudden burst of energy surged through the clearing. And about a second after Kimimaro had disappeared, his scream echoed through the clearing.
"What?! THOSE TREEHUGGERS BEAT KIMIMARO!?" Kidomaru said in disbelief. The next second, he got two chakra coated fists shoved into his chest and he staggered backwards. "The odds are stacked against me. This is an unwinnable battle. I need to quit this game and find a better level..." Kidomaru said to himself, thou loud enough for everyone to hear.
The next second, the Hyuuga twins charged forward, using their Gentle Fist technique in a way eclusive to them, as combination with the other.
The burst of chakra broke the latest genjutsu Tayuya had been caught in and she shaked her head furiously.
"Oh FOR KAMI'S BLEEPING SAKE! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO GOOD ENOUGH TO FIGHT! GENJUTSU! STOP FOOLING AROUND AND FIGHT ME YOU KAMI DAMMNED BLEEPING B*** OF A TREE HUGGING ONE TRICK PONY!" Tayuya roared furiously.
Kurenai took a few steps back,no longer so sure of herself. Those words rang true. Other then Rin, she had the worst taijitsu skills of their whole graduation class, and even Rin could make up for it with traps and wepons. The only thing she was good was genjutsu and Lee-sensei had even said as much. That was why he made her perfect her best field. Because there were genjutsu that could actually harm or kill someone. She just hadn't gotten there yet.
But still those words stung.
Tayuya snarled something fierce, but just as she was about to charge, Obito opened his eyes.
"RIN! KAKASHI! WHA-HYUUAARURK!" Obito sprang up like he just woke from a nightmare. In the middle of his frantic yell, he vomited suddenly as his body and mind remembered, halfway through the reboot, that the last thing he had seen before he lost consiousness. And that was just to much for his stomach to handle when he wasn't high on adrenaline.
"O-Obito..." Kakashi and Rin said in shock, both of his sudden return to the world of the living, but also what they saw when they looked at his eyes.
"What the actual bleeping bleep?" Tayuya said completely thrown off guard.
"Wait... What happened? AND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING HERE!? WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS?!" Obito asked before he broke out into a yell as he looked at everyone and everything. He could see what was happening and what had happened clearly. Yes, everything was very clear to him. Now when he finally was awake he was taking everything.
And he really meant everything.
Everything was clear to him. From the small cuts in clothes. From the way people moved. He could see their body langauge. He could see what their next move was.
The next second, Obito growled, the world becoming even clearer as he almost zoomed through the handsigns. "GREAT FIRE BALL JUTSU!" He roared and sent a huge fountain of flames from his mouth towards Tayuya.
"BLEEP!" Tayuya yelled as she nearly got fried by the literal fountain of flames and the almost titanic fireball that came flying towards her.
"O...Obito..." Both Rin and Kakashi said in almost awe of their team mate.
As the clearing got filled with flames from the mad Obito, blasting fire ball after ball, from grand fire ball jutsu to phenoix fire ball at Tayuya, Tsume, Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai and Shibi could only watch in awe at the display of the The Last Uchicha.
As Tayuya dodged fire balls for her life, the Hyuuga twins twirled around one final time and delivered a double Jyukeen stricke straight at Kidomaru's chest, sending him flying straight into the path of both a fireball. Kidomaru crashed onto the forest floor as Obito finally ran out of juice for his flames just as Kimimaro staggered back into the clearing.
"Bleep! Abort the mission! Take out scroll! Just leave us bleeping alone! ABORT THE MISSION!" Tayuya yelled as she threw the scroll towards the genin that Obito caught almost like he knew were it was flying. Kimimaro looked ready to argue, but he then looked at Obito and Gai before he followed Tayuya into the forest. Kidomaru shortly followed them both after he had picked himself up and the three disappeared into the dense forest as the sound team pulled a full on retreat.
xXx
"Ok, seriously, what did I miss?!" Obito yelled, now out of battle mood and back to his normal personality. Kakashi sighed. Bi-polar Uchiha... Rin, of course, was more concerned with calming their teammate down then he was.
"O-Obito!" The brunette girl with prple markings said quickly. "We'll explain but you need to calm down!"
"Or at least turn off your Sharingan." Kakashi advised. He glanced around to see if the other teams were still around, as they had not butted in yet as he thought they would. Yep, they're still there, with Gai panting on the ground, the twins leaning on each other, Tsume was making sure her dog was ok, ect ect... Most of them were sffering from chakra exhaustion. Kakashi was brought back to his teammates by Obito's gasp.
"Sharingan?!" He felt around his eyes, as if that would show him he had the eyes, though he did look calmer. "That's why everything is in slowmo! And-" He paused before steadily getting freaked out again. "-that's why I remember the snake eating me so vividly! And what that crazy snake lady meant by that if she was her assisant that she would want my eyes!"
Kakashi and Rin stared at him, as did the other Kohona genin behind them. Obito blinked, eyes going back to normal, and he shrugged.
"Don't ask. I don't know if I can explain it to myself, really..."
"Crazy snake lady?" Shibi asked, for once having emotion in his voice, if only to express how insane he thought Obito was at that moment and how afraid he was to ask.
"Anko, the Snake Sannin." Rin explained, looking sheepish. "She attacked us a bit back... for some reason. She was the reason we were knocked out when- Oh Gai!" she cut herself off as she finally noticed their exhausted friend. she ran over and sat him down. He winced.
"Oh sorry Gai!" She said, and put her chakra covered hands over his shoulder. Kakashi noted that she had gotten better at those medical justus that Naruto-Sensei showed her. She frowned, and it deepened the longer she moved her hands over Gai upper chest and arms. "Your muscles are ridiculusly strained. What did you do?"
"Um..." Gai laughed nervously, then winced at the monement. "Something I really shouldn't have down. It would be most unyouthful if any of you tell Lee-Sensei." He looked at them pleadingly.
"Is that what Lee-Sensei have been teaching you these last few months?" Kurenai asked, giving him a look.
"Yes, and I'm not allowed to use it without premission. I'll be in trouble! Please don't tell!"
The genin all glanced at each other before nodding. Kakashi took another moment before nodding. He didn't really care afterall. He probably wouldn't even talk to Lee-Sensei again until this whole thing passed anyway. He was going to let this all go and let them get to the next topic, but then Gai winced again, and Kakashi had to bring up one problem.
"Wouldn't Lee-Sensei notice you keep wincing from strained muscles?" He asked. Gai, apperently having not thought of this, looked horrified that his Sensei was going to find out anyway when Rin came to his rescue.
"Don't worry. Its not..." She paused. "As BAD as it could be. I can relive some of the stress, and the rest should fade before the rest of the five days are up. It's just..." She paused again, and this time she took her hands slightly away from Gai. "You can't fight or it'll be worse, and I'll have slight chakra exhaustion."
"No!" Gai shook his head vermantly, then wincing at the movement. "I can not ask you to do that, especially in this forest!"
"Guys..." Tsume said, as she lifted up the scroll that Oto team had left behind. It was a Heaven scroll.
"Same kind as us." Kakashi commented. "It's useless to us."
"But not to us." Hiashi said. "We have two Earth Scrolls. And since we are the team here that can still fight, you guys can have both. Hizashi, you have a Heaven scroll too right?"
"Yes."
"Prefect." Hiashi said, talking over the protests. "Team 7 and Team Lee will both have a Heaven and an Earth scroll, while we have a Heaven scroll left over. I'm sure we can find an earth scroll in the next few days."
"But, you can't just-" Kurenai started to protest, but Tsume cut her off.
"Oh come one!" She smirked, and stood up from where she was kneeling. "Us Kohona rookies gotta stick together."
"It is only logical." Shibi commented.
"...Fine." Kakashi said. the others turned to glare at him and he glared right back. "We aren't going to presuade them otherwise. We might as well take the offer. And they're right-none of use are in any shape to fight any long fight."
"What about Ino-Shika-Cho?" Hizashi asked.
"I... dunno where they are." Rin said.
"The last time we saw them, they were trying to save us from Anko." Kakashi said, then paused. "... I'm pretty sure they are ok..."
"Here." Kurenai took the offered Earth Scroll. "We'll go looking for them after Rin heals Gai."
A while after having exchanged scrolls and gotten the scrolls needed to pass the test and making sure that the others of the Konoha 12 would pass, the three teams split once again. Rin blinked.
"Obito, you sure have been quiet-" Rin started to say, but cut off when she saw Obito. She face palmed.
"Wow, he really likes to be unconsious..." Kakashi mused, looking at the prone form of their teammate.
"Between the Sharingan and the fireballs, he must of gotten chakra exhaustion." Rin sighed, and, gestering from where she was sitting after healing Gai, she looked at Kakashi. "Would you-"
"I'm on it." He said, waving a hand lazily, and walked over to their unconcious teammate.

As Team 7 left the clearing, none of them noticed the slight flicker that happened in the air around them. None of them seemed to notice when they slowly started to turn towards a different direction then what they believed the tower to be in.
High above in the tree tops, Iwa's Team 5 looked as Team 7 slowly started to walk in the wrong direction.
"Is it done?" Han inquired his female team mate.
"It is." Kurotochi said simply. She scoffed internally, with what they had seen during the tree huggers battle with the new village's team, the Uchicha brat had finally unlocked the sharingan and should have easily noticed the genjutsu being put over them and shattered it in moments.
But that apperantly didn't happen.
"Good! Then I can finally blow them up un!" Deidara said excited and raised his hands, ready to delve them into his clay pockets.
Until Han grabbed his arm.
"Deidara. Leave that for later for when their allies are not as close by as they currently are." Han said calmly.
"Patience is a virtue Deidara and you know it." Kurotchi piped in.
"But it is a boring virtue..." Deidara whined.
"Don't worry my friend. You will have your chance at blowing up the Uchicha boy that insulted you and your clan." Han said almost sagely as the three of them looked at Team 7.
"Tommorow." Han said in a voice of aniticipation.
