As she rushed towards the fight taking place, it was all Tsunade could do to not turn back around and escort Sakura to the next safe house herself, I
am still the Hokage of this village and as such I can not abandon my people, no matter how much I want to do the opposite of what's expected. Tsunade crashed
through the double doors and was greeted with a horrid sight that made her halt her movement. "Ohmygod" was all she could say, as she took in the
entire scene. There was blood all over the walls and more than a dozen fallen ANBU ninjas who lay injured. One man did all this? How is it possible, and
what could be driving him to the point that he'll do anything to get to Sakura? Movement on the stairwell caught her attention and pulled her from her
troubled thoughts, after a moment Tsunade realized it was Hatake Kakashi and the intruder engaging in hand to hand combat. Tsunade growled and
charged for the staircase, as she began to race up the stairs Kakashi was knocked back into Tsunade who caught him.
"Well, well if it isn't Princess Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, we meet again." The cloaked figure sneered. "Who are you, who sent you and
why are you so damned determined to kill a member of my village" Tsunade growled ferociously, helping Kakashi to his feet "You have done enough
here, I will distract him, go find Naruto, he is a mile northwest of the village" Tsunade whispered to Kakashi before taking a step towards the man. "It
is of no importance, but as your final wish before I kill you, I will enlighten you. I am Ryuu the Dragon and I heard a prophecy some years ago that I
must prevent in order protect the Land of Fire." He said coolly, Tsunade looked at him in disbelief. "What does a prophecy have to do with why you are
trying to kill one of my village?" The man called Ryuu laughed maniacally and glared down at Tsunade who resisted the urge to cringe. "Haruno
Sakura is at the center of the prophecy; if she does not die she will bring about the destruction of the Land of Fire and eventually the world!" Ryuu
spat before rushing Tsunade, kunai raised.
Tsunade jumped back startled but quickly regaining her composure and avoiding the sudden assault. Pulling her own kunai and charging Ryuu, the air
quickly fills with the clanking of metal upon metal and heavy panting. Tsunade slashes at Ryuu's neck and chest, each being diverted by Ryuu's
continuous counter attacks. Growing irritable with the repetition of the fight, Tsunade twists her body and lands a quick into her combatant's chest
throwing him back into the wall at the top of the stairs. Ryuu quickly recovers and cries "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Tsunade gasps and jumps straight
into the air avoiding the giant fireball shooting towards her. Before she can recover she hears the man yell out again "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
"DAMN!" Tsunade cried out
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu" she screamed quickly extinguishing the fire dragon that threatened to engulf her with a water dragon of her own.
"You are better than I give you credit for Princess Tsunade, I thought you were a lightening type, this will be fun!" Ryuu hisses. "Shadow Clone
Jutsu!" Tsunade watched as Ryuu split into three clones. "FIRE STYLE: DRAGON FLAME BOMB JUTSU!" they cried almost in unison.
"Shit!" Tsunade cried as flames began to surround her.
"Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu!" The flames were extinguished, but not before leaving 2nd degree burns on Tsunade's arms. Tsunade groaned as the
steam began to disperse, suddenly Ryuu burst through the steam lunging at Tsunade, kunai raised high above his head. "Shit!" Tsunade said being
caught off guard, she quickly raised her own kunai deflecting his surprise attack but not before Ryuu's kunai plunged into the delicate skin between
her collar bone and the muscle on her shoulder. Tsunade cried out in pain, straining to keep his kunai at bay. Ryuu began to laugh maniacally "YOU
DIE NOW!" he bellowed, pulling another larger kunai from his pack. Tsunade had to think quickly, she would die if she did not counter act his attack,
and Sakura would die too. Bracing herself for what was to come, Tsunade removed one hand from her kunai, crying out as Ryuu's blade sunk another
inch into her skin. Tsunade quickly brought her now free hand back and focused her chakra into a point sharp enough to slice through metal "CHAKRA
SCAPEL!" she yelled bringing her hand forward slicing through Ryuu's raised hand. Ryuu screamed in pain as his kunai and hand fell to the floor.
Blood spurted into Tsunade's face, blinding her briefly. "YOU BITCH!" he cried out, Tsunade felt him release the kunai stuck in her shoulder, as he
grasped where his hand had been a moment before, blood poured from between his fingers onto the floor. Tsunade's vision returned as she wiped the
blood from her eyes, she stood, took a step back and reached up grasping the blade sticking out of her skin tightly in her blood covered hand, taking a
deep breath she wrenched it out of her shoulder crying out as she let the kunai clatter to the floor. Blood began to pour from the wound as she
struggled to lift her own kunai. "You will pay for this you wench!" Ryuu hissed before turning and crashing through the balcony window, Tsunade
pursued him but when she got to the balcony the perpetrator had disappeared. "DAMN!" Tsunade swore bring her fist down upon the banister,
splintering the wood.
Tsunade stood silently, trying to grasp what this Ryuu the Dragon had told her. 'Sakura is at the center of the prophecy; if she does not die she will bring
about the destruction of the Land of Fire and eventually the world!' "A prophecy, what on earth could he been referring to?" Tsunade thought out loud before
crying out in pain. "Damn!" she groaned, as she began administering enough healing chakra to stop the bleeding in her wounds. No time to heal myself
completely, I have to get t Sakura.
Without another thought for herself, Tsunade turned on heel and charged into the building, sprinting down the stairs and out the door into the direction
she knew Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi to be in. I am coming Sakura.
