Now that Kakashi and Tenchū are married, what will happen with all the difficulties them being ninja will bring?
"I'd never thought you and Kakashi were dating, Tenchū," Anko drawled, snacking on dango while they waited out the second exam.
The mint green-eyed woman snatched up a stick of the sweet while reading the newest book out: "Make-out Violence". "We're quite alike, so I guess it works for the both of us."
"You sure both hit it off really fast, within two or three days you were serious about each other! Don't you think he'll flake or cheat?"
"No, Kakashi's not like that. He's a very loyal boyfriend and would never cheat on me or dump me for another woman. Even though I don't think I'm the prettiest kunoichi in Konohagakure."
"What the heck are you talking about, Tenchū? You're the most gorgeous kunoichi in the five nations besides Kurenai, you have a good personality to boot! Don't you dare put yourself down! In my opinion, Kakashi doesn't deserve you!"
"I don't know, he's best friends with Kinatsu and I don't think I could dump him."
"Why don't you play the field a little? There are plenty of sweet guys that are ninja, you know!"
"And the ones my age are either attached or ANBU. I don't think so. And I probably knew all the younger guys when they were kids."
"Hey, I've wanted to ask you about something…personal."
"Shoot."
"Did Orochimaru have an interest in you?"
"By 'interest' you mean he was impressed by my genes and skills? Yes. That double-crossing snake better not come back here while I'm around or I'll skin him alive to see if he actually has scales."
"It's a wonder that he didn't try to capture you to experiment on you like he did me."
"I guess he lost interest or couldn't find me once I left."
"I don't know, he did talk about a certain 'fascinating Uchiha redhead' a lot when I was with him. I think the only thing he didn't like was that you didn't have the Sharingan."
"Let's just hope he was only interested in me because of my skills. If he has a fascination of another kind, I just…" Tenchū shivered, holding herself. "That's just wrong, I'm at least thirty years younger than he is!"
"I don't like it either, it would almost be like one of us falling for one of the academy students."
"Blech, let's switch to another subject."
Both of them looked up when a chunin appeared. "Anko-san, Tenchū-san! You must come quickly!"
The older jonin held her mouth as she witnessed the sight of the three Grass genin. Anko paled as well, but didn't look like she was going to puke like her comrade. "Uh Tenchū, you okay? You've seen worse than this in our department!"
"I know, I'm just feeling a little off lately."
"Report this to Hokage-sama immediately and send an ANBU team into the forest immediately! Tenchū and I will try and locate and apprehend him in the meanwhile!"
Tenchū leaped after Anko, who got about thirty feet into the forest before turning to her. "You really okay? You look like you're gonna hurl."
"I'm just fine for the time being, I'll tell you if I get any worse."
"Okay, but we are going to confront Orochimaru, you know."
"Yeah, I know."
Tenchū jumped out of the way when Orochimaru attacked, having almost caught her by surprise. She drew a kunai and held it in front of her, ready to attack at a millisecond's notice. The Snake Sennin turned to her, since he'd already taken care of Anko, who was nearly paralyzed with pain.
"I see you've finally returned, Midori-chan," he purred, grinning at her. "You're all alone, without Minato or Kakashi-kun to protect you."
"I was only sixteen then, Orochimaru. Don't think that I haven't outgrown my fear of you," she sneered, narrowing her eyes as she watched him closely for any further attacks.
"You've grown beautifully and matured into quite the powerful jonin. It's a wonder you don't have any genin in this exam, since I was sure you'd be a jonin-sensei."
"I don't need to have any charges to worry about when there are ninja like you around."
He chuckled and licked his lips at the sight of such a powerful ninja specimen, even if she was only half-Uchiha. He had to have her and wouldn't wait like he would for Sasuke. He knew that the lust for power didn't dwell with her, so force was the only option. He didn't know how strong she was because of her absence, but didn't care as long as he could weaken her enough so he could capture her.
Snakes flew out of his sleeves, wrapping themselves around her. She grunted as she fell onto the branch she stood upon, eyes flashing with frustration as he approached her.
"It seems that I've caught you by surprise, Midori-chan. I'll take great pleasure in finding out every secret you possess."
As he touched her, she lit on fire, burning him as he jumped back. The snakes restraining her turned to ash, as she stood up. "You shouldn't underestimate your opponent when you haven't seen them in thirteen years."
Without any hand signs, she lifted her hand to her mouth. "Katon: Grand Fireball Technique!"
The huge fireball rolled towards him, but he jumped out of the way, the tree behind him almost exploding from the force of the flames. A hole the size of an elephant smoked as she followed him, fire-covered kunai slashing at him as he blocked, only to jump back when the blades of his weapons melted. She struck him across the arms, charred cuts appearing as he grinned.
"Impressive, your speed actually rivals mine!"
"No, I'm only going fast enough to keep up with you."
"What?"
"Katon: Twin Dragons Technique!"
He used a mud clone to escape the attack, and she gasped as he punched her in the cheek, making her almost slide straight into a tree trunk. A bloody bruise appeared, only for a small fire to light on it, and it vanished. His eyes widened in shock.
"Impossible, no one has that kind of healing save the Kyubi!"
"I do, and you won't have the privilege to see it again!"
She appeared in front of him, catching him by surprise. "Katon: Mythical Phoenix Flame!"
Another mud clone took the blow, and she used Body Flicker to follow his movements, startling him as she used fire technique after fire technique, most of them usually taking a huge chunk of chakra but she seemed tireless. He dodged and used several replacements to try and confuse her, but her eyes didn't seem to be fooled.
"Your speed and perception are incredible! Your fire techniques seem to be inexhaustible, too powerful for just a half-blood Uchiha!"
She appeared behind him and a swirling fireball in her palm caught his attention. "Katon: Rasengan!"
A hole that comprised of his entire midsection was the aftermath of that attack, but he used a technique that had her flinching in disgust. He crawled out of his own skin, whole and healthy. He grinned as he drew Kusanagi and charged her, causing her to go on the defensive.
"You truly are Minato's student if you've added fire manipulation to a technique he created!"
He slashed through her midsection and her eyes widened, only for her to disappear in a burst of flames.
"Now a fire clone? You truly are a master of fire, far more than any Uchiha could ever dream to be!"
"Katon: Blazing Fireball!"
He dodged just as it went off, the flames spreading across the wood as if it was made of paper. She smirked and moved through the fire as if it wasn't there, which made him even more impressed with her abilities. He tried several different techniques on her, but none worked, either she dodged or used a clone to take the hit for her.
The fight went on for what seemed like hours, fire surrounding the two of them, both panting from how much chakra they'd been using just to dodge the other's attacks. Orochimaru grinned as he knew he was tiring her out and would be in the position to capture her if he could actually land a strike. Yet as he moved to do a technique, but she did one first.
"Katon: Flame Eater Technique!"
All the fire around her was sucked into her mouth, and it converted to energy, which she used immediately.
"Katon: Inferno!"
A huge fireball engulfed the both of them, thirty feet around her incinerating, not even ash remaining. It vanished, and Tenchū fell to hands and knees, panting from the suddenness of the technique she'd only used once, when she'd created it. Her eyes widened when she heard chuckling behind her.
"Astonishing, completely breathtaking."
He lifted her up, and she struggled in vain, since she was at the point of chakra exhaustion. He looked down at her and ran his fingers down her neck, making her shiver. "Had you caught me completely by surprise, you would've been victorious, Midori-chan. Come, we'll leave this place, since we're both low on chakra and I can feel that Konoha's ANBU are closing in."
She barely held onto consciousness long enough to feel a sinking sensation of him traveling through the trees to get to his destination.
O_O Tenchū's been captured! What did everyone think of my fight scene? I hope you all liked it, because I worked very hard to complete it!
