Chapter 34: Sound/Sand Invasion begins
Arcana and Kurai were out. They both lay on the ground exhausted and barely conscience.
The audience was in awe and there was a wave of silence and clapping and cheers were heard.
"Wow, Arcana and Kurai are… so cool!" Naruto said his eyes shining in admiration. Most of the other participants nodded while others were silent.
'That Kurai, he is definitely an Uchiha, but how did he survive?' were the thoughts of Sasuke who decided he would get answers later.
"I hope they're alright." Aqua said.
Suddenly a torrent of sand descends upon them, coming closer and closer.
This took most by surprise.
"Hey, Rai… is that…?" Arcana said seeing the sand.
"…Gaara" Kurai finished.
'Too tired to move…' was the thought they both had.
Just above them the wave of sand was slowly getting closer and atop of it was Gaara grinning like a mad man.
"What is he doing, he'll spoil the plan!" Kankuro said to Temari in panic.
Gaara however couldn't care less, "Those two! Arcana and Kurai! They are strong, I will give mother there blood and prove my existence!"
Arcana and Kurai braced themselves, they both closed their eyes.
…
…
…
The pain of being crushed by sand never came, when Arcana and Kurai opened there eyes they saw Sasuke giving Gaara his Lion Barrage, they were saved.
Gaara was kicked to the ground his sand armor cracked. Sasuke landed near Arcana and Kurai, "Your fight is with me." Sasuke said looking at Gaara whose grin become even more malicious.
"Sasuke Uchiha! Arcana Okami! Kurai Uchiha! I will kill the 3 of you and prove my existence!" he screamed while standing up.
"I'll take you on alone!" Sasuke roared and dashed to him his incomplete Sharingan activated.
From Arcana and Kurai's point of view Sasuke was doing fine, he was pummeling Gaara in fact but they both knew that Sasuke lost to Gaara in the anime.
Soon people in the stadium began to fall asleep.
Eventually Arcana and Kurai felt it as well.
"Damn… the invasion…" Kurai said.
"Are you two alright?" It was Genma and Aqua, the latter looking quite worried.
Kurai spoke quickly, "Aqua, dispel the… Genjutsu…" and then he and Arcana fell asleep.
"Sensei! is this?"
"Yes, Kurai is right this is genjutsu." Genma put his hands together in a seal and said 'kai' followed by Aqua.
"Aqua, release Kurai, I'll release Arcana." Genma ordered, Aqua nodded and got to work.
They put their hands in a seal above the boys' heads and uttered 'kai' waking the boys.
Genma then noticed that the sand siblings were getting away and a sand jonin was blocking Sasuke's path he also noticed that the civilians were put to sleep and there was fighting in the stands.
"Aqua, protect your teammates" Genma ordered and went and held the Sand jonin by the name of Baki at bay while telling Sasuke to pursue Gaara.
A few kunai was flung at team 11 but Aqua deflected it with a barrier of some sort.
2 ninja from sound appeared and Aqua took a defensive over her teammates, 'I'll protect them no matter what!'
The 2 ninja rushed for Aqua who made hand signs, "Water style: tri blast!"
She put her hand out and 3 blasts of water was unleashed, one in the center, one on the left and one to the right of the one in the center.
The 2 chuunin dodged, of to the sides giving Aqua time to prepare her next justu, "Water style: bubble blaster!"
She shot out a barrage of bubbles that homing in on the sound nin they dodged it quite well but one of them was hit, the other was now rushing to Aqua and he slashed the look of shock was evident an Arcana and Kurai's faces.
…
…
…
The sound nin smirked until he realized there was no blood but water instead.
"Water clone?" were the last words he uttered before he was blasted into the wall from behind by Aqua who was unscathed, Arcana and Kurai were relieved.
"Time to… assist." Kurai said, an orb of darkness engulfed him. (remember the darkness Kurai creates is purplish black.) when the orb was gone he stood up looking fit as a fiddle.
"Kurai, you should rest a bit." Aqua said in worry.
Kurai brushed her off, "I'm fine, now for Arc." Kurai placed his hand on Arcana and a orb of darkness engulfed Arcana too before disappearing shortly after but Arcana felt 100 percent again and got up.
"Rai, how did you do that?" he asked amazed.
"Darkness: false vessel. Don't get too comfortable, your wounds healed but it's not actual healed." Kurai explained cryptically.
"What does that mean?" Arcana asked confused.
"Put simply you are healed on the outside, you see no wounds right? However all damage you had is still there you just don't feel it… until…"
"Until?" Arcana wanted him to continue.
"Until I cancel the technique. Let's put it this way, you'll feel like hell, you not only feel the damage you receive now but later you will also feel the damage and exhaustion you felt earlier. I suggest you gather as much life energy as you can."
"Ok, I think I get it." Arcana said.
"If you don't get it now, you WILL get it later." Kurai finished.
Aqua was concerned, "What about you Kurai?"
Now Kurai was confused, "What do you mean?"
"How are you going to feel later, you can't gather life energy like Arcana and plus you used that move not only on yourself but on Arcana too."
'I didn't think of it like that…' Arcana thought now also a bit worried.
Kurai was silent for a bit.
"I'll cross that bridge when I get there." he answered after a while.
"but…" Aqua was about to protest but Kurai interrupted her.
"Aqua." He placed his hands on her bare shoulders.
"The village, is being invaded, if we don't fight together more innocents will die."
Aqua wanted to argue but she knew Kurai was right.
"Fine, but don't pushed yourself too hard, both of you."
She gave in.
Done
Done! Did you guys understand Kurai's ability, false vessel?
Also should Aqua have a pairing?
Should one character have more than one pairing or just one?
Send me your feedback guys… and gals.
