Chapter 19: Haruno arc part 3
Namikaze estate
" It is done. This concludes phase delta. I need to find a different village to experiment with or they catch on to us.", Menma stared at the knocked out bodies of his sisters. He complained:" Why are you two so useless? I wish Naruto was on my side." "Ke..", a dark chuckle was heard behind him:" But he is on the opposite side of the prophecy, you know that?"
*Hospital, outside*
Her green eyes wandered over the crowd. Thank kami no one was lost or missing. Tenten tapped her shoulder as she held out a water bottle:" I think we're done over here." Sighing Sakura grabbed the bottle and finished its content in minutes.
Sasuke was right.
Can't they get a break for once, please?
" Sakura? Are you done? I need your help!" , Kabuto yelled across the grass field. Looking apologetic, TenTen followed her to the teen:" It seems that we have five patients in critical states. We got no choice but to do an operation right outside. Over there. That man is yours. You need some food pills?" " Please I've been running low on chakra to long." Sakura gratefully took the tasteless chakra replenishers:" TenTen would you mind whipping my forehead again? Sorry for the inconvenience." "It's fine. Plus it's the only thing I can do right now. Everything is on lockdown anyway. Again." Both scooted over the next body of the patient. This day was really bad.
First, they got attacked and the second Code red was called out.
Code red was an emergency signal for all civilians, whether they opened their shop right now or went for a walk when Code red was called, you immediately evacuated to a nearby shelter. If you have a shop, close it. You were taking a walk, run. You were sleeping in your bed? Wake up and get to a shelter.
Even the large entrance gates which were always opened were shut close to keep the attackers, in case they have not fled, inside. The only ones allowed to operate were the important ones. Such as the hospital, police and the Hokage tower staff. So basically the streets were empty and eerily quiet in the blazing summer heat. It wasn't even lunchtime but the quietness was creeping everybody out. Fear and worry were in the air.
Closing the operation wound Sakura called out:" Kabuto-sensei, I'm done! Anywhere else we are needed?"
The glass wielder shook his head:" Naruto finished most work with his clones. We waiting for the builders to come to fix up the entrance and first floor. Once they're done we bring the patient inside again." Sasuke walked up to the small group as he slid off his gloves:" We lost no patience. Even the newborns are fine. This is absolutely a miracle. Considering that we had twenty operations going on separately in the east and west gate wings. This is truly lucky." Kabuto nodded:" Especially since we are in summer. Let's report to Lord Orochimaru's...well half? intact office. TenTen you can leave, you have done way too much already. I will personally leave a note on your team's performance in your ID system when this ordeal is over. We owe you. Thank you once more. You did way too much for a Genin." The twin bun waved off his compliments:" Nonsense. I would love to stick around. I mean we need to give our statements to the police anyway. Also I need to know whether my team will be stuck in the hospital for a while to plan my mornings."
Trying not to stir up more conflict, Kabuto raised his hands in defeat and they tracked over to the office area. It was full of Naruto clones running around. They were saving files from being destroyed in the puddles of water the second Holage had conjured a few minutes ago. Orochimaru however was busy talking to Shisui and the fire department head. This attack was aimed at all three essential workplaces. At similar time frames. Tsunade had a blanket on her shoulder and was sitting on a chair. Still shaking. But less than she had before. The frog sage was leaning against a half-broken wall confused. He was thinking of the information that he had taken in the last minutes.
The fire department head sucked in a huge breath from his cigarette. When he exhaled a large cloud, he explained to the newcomers:" From all three places the fire department has the biggest damage done to, followed by the hospital. The police department only had their gates blown off. Whoever hit us intentionally wanted us to be too occupied. Guess what was attacked too."
Shisui growled:" The attacker was trying to distract us. Guess what. The Hokage tower was their target. The perpetrator attacked the staff, walked into the sacred room, opened the scroll of sealing but they didn't steal it. Just took a peak and disappeared. I think it was more of a mock like ' see how easy you to invade, your security is a laughing stock'." Silence fell on the group. Who and why would do something like that?
A loud siren was heard. The code red was lifted.
? Unknown location?
The man rubbed his sweat from his chin:" Scatter the Kunai like always. Quick." " Yes my Lord! At once! Battalion moves out." The group responded to the leader as they went to their ground bunkers and grabbed the special Kunais. From the distance, he saw his wife pinning one enemy down with her golden chains. Just a bit longer. They will win. They have to. Or else their economic state would be in the shit. Plus he hadn't seen his children. He thought of his lucky friend who nicknamed him as his ' police boy'. He had a strategy where he needed his police boy later. His attention snapped back to the battlefield. He could not allow anymore casualties. Shaking his head, the distracting thoughts flew away.
Back to the Hospital
The entrance gate and first floor were finally repaired. Slowly all patients were led inside and Sakura stretched her sore body:" Earth style users are sure fast man. Ow. I feel like someone squashed me in between two chunks of metal walls." Naruto nodded agreeing but groaned:" Meanwhile our hyperactive brother is doing cartwheels backwards on the grass hills. Where the heck does he get that energy? Sakura maybe he is the Uzumaki and I'm the Uchiha all along. Case closed its official. He is Sasuke Uzumaki Namikaze. I'm Naruto Uchiha." Sakura stepped back mind blown:" Uff. This is it! It makes sense."
Sasuke stopped his sportly endeavour and turned to them. His voice hailed across the grass field:" Wanner join me? It's fun. The grass is VeRy sOfT and nIcE. You can also roll down the grass hills. Come on jOin mE."
" It sounds like he is trying to make us join a cult. His voice is rather hypnotic. ", Naruto grimaced as he elbowed Sakura. "A cult of what? Acrobatic hyperactive freaks?", Sakura questioned as they watched Shisui tackle him:" I shall arrest your cult of acrobatic freaks."
"Gargh. No, I was about to take over the world."
So they both rolled around wrestling. Sasuke trying to get away from his uncle. While his uncle was trying to get him into a headlock. Which Shisui managed within five minutes. Ruffleing Sasukes hair, deadlocked. Shisui proclaimed:" I arrested the cult leader. Rest assured." Naruto monotony raised his hands:" Hurray. We all have been saved from doom!"
So despite the protest he gave Shisui dragged Sasuke to his siblings:" Anyways. I got your evil brother back. Orochimaru said you guys should take a rest and report for the night shift or something. My shift at the police station is over and I thought maybe we could have a barbecue together at Akimichis? I even get Itachi and his girlfriend along. Let's meet in an hour. Like you guys look like you have been mauled over." Sakura gasped, free food:" Really? Why not! Right we absolutely need to clean up." Sasuke pointed over to a certain twin bunned girl talking to a policeman:" Can we get TenTen senpai along? She seems lost without her team. The more the merrier!"
Sakura volunteered to ask her. Of course the girl was happy and accepted. As they chatted the entrance opened. Tsunade stepped out. Followed by mood immediately went down hill. Sakura exhaled:" See you in an hour." Her senpai nodded.
" Wait.", Tsunade rasped. Sakura turned around annoyed:" What Miss Senju?" Hazel's weak brown eyes met firm green eyes:" Could we talk?" " Sorry Senju-San but I have no time. ", quickly Sakura jogged away. Sasuke and Naruto in tow.
´ What's up with her? I mean hello that woman is the legendary Sanin, Slug princess Lady Tsunade Senju! Whx avoid her? Sakura is sure odd.´, Tenten huffed before walking home now the full streets of Konoha.
Well an hour later
" Sasuke. Sakura once we done with this can we talk in my office. Its about the special patient. I need your help with that."Naruto´s tired souldetsroying voice flew over to his annoyed siblings who just nodded understandingly. Upon arriving at the grill bar, TenTen was there and two more other girls. A Hyuga and some Yamanaka. Wait, they were in their classes. " Hope you don´t mind these two. They are my friends Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka.",Tenten confirmed their suspicion. " We know, they are in our class."Sasuke murmured as he gave Naruto an elbow:" excuse our brother he always looks like he is dead. Anyways let's go inside."
´Why does he look like Soshi but with longer hair? Why have I never noticed him? He is so hot!´, Ino drooled inside her mind. " Hey brats! We are quiet the crowd. Good thing I dragged Itachi and Izumi too.", An arm slung around Sasuke's shoulder. The boiu groaned:" Get off me stupid Uncle." " GASP: ITACHI he called me uncle! *sniff*"
They flopped to a table near the window. " Ssure...it is llolvly having ssso many people together. It´s like a fffamilly dinner.";Hinata pocked her fingers together. " i dunno. I'm just glad we get free food.";Sakura eyed the menu hungrily:" Uhm, have you finished the academy homework already?" "Hell nah! Iruka made the most ridiculous difficult task. I am only dones with a small stuff.",Ino complained. " Because you lazy ass spends time window shopping on your phone and staring at fashion articles.",TenTen leaned her head against her head. Ino was visibly boiling:" SHUT UP!"
So small conversations started among the group." Well Sakura, I wanted to ask, what is your relationship with Tsunade-sama. You seem to know her and despise her as well.", the twin bunned girl froze by the cold air:" I wish not to talk about that Senpai." " Oh, sorry I was just curious." " It seems like they are taking some time with the food, I check on the chef.",Sakura stood up and walked over to the kitchen.
" *sigh* Now she is gonna be pissed for the whole week. Great.";Sasuke scoffed. " I am curious as well.",Itachi looked at Sasuke. " Fine I tell you but don't go around screaming it. Sakura is her illegitimate daughter. Tsunade abandoned her by young age and erased all traces of their relation. We two beside her knew her heritage as she ´banished´S akura for using the Senju name."
" WHAT?"
***skip , an hour later***
The door to the barbecue stall opened and three people stepped in.
" A look its Lady Tsunade with her assistant Shizune, oh also Lord Jiraiya is with them´"
" All legendary Sannin in Konoha!?"
" This is amazing, seeing them here!"
" It is time that we leave. Sasuke? Naruto?" " Your right, thanks for this amazing dinner. Eating out once a while is fun.",Sasuke smiled. " Good grief, I kinda want to go home and catch some Z´s but sensei said night shift we better go. See you in the academy. Gosh I swear I feel like it is a looong night.", Naruto yawned. As the trio slowly left, TenTen whispered to her friends:" They work in the hospital as medi-nin´s. You must have heard from your parents they are the Haruno trio or also the miracle doctors." " Wow, like a daughter like mother?", Ino whispered back.
The trio proceeded to walk past the newcomers as Sakura was grabbed by her hands:" Huh? What is holding me?" " Haruno-san, can we talk now?" Pushing the hand away Sakura growled:" Miss Senju I would recommend avoiding such action in the future and for you information, unless your are a patient that has boocked me, I have no time. Excuse me. Unlike you miss, some take their pride as a medical ninja serious, we have work to do!"
*** Elsewhere***
" We must inform the boy, the Prophecy changed. This is odd indeed:
Two paths, two futures.
If all the chosen chose the path of light, this will follow:
If ALL humans need to prepare for war for their planet. But it will be only possible through the hands of 3 siblings of old and new, divided of their generational curse. One wielding the power of a blazing death, one growing life, and one a bridge of everlasting beauty. However, in their path, they must defeat and overcome 3 false chosen people, unite all mankind before the coming and facing of the monster´s wrath. They will mend broken bonds and build a strong bond with many former enemies such as the red cloud, stone, and waters. They will make friends of all kinds and refined in their bonds will lead an army of final salvation.
These shall be their Names indications:
A flower field, a little helper and a whirlpool
Path of the dark is this:
The one who has power over life will switch his power with the one with death while the bridge will collapse and wither away sealed in sorrow. 3 siblings in hatred bring wrath to the world if they only have been loved. O poor sorrowful world. The shadows won and bow down to the monsters will. Not many souls left but a deserted planet. If the brothers have not killed each other to the bitter end yet, they will die by the hands of the false chosen.
What is the meaning of this? How can that be an indication? Many have flower names. But quickly bring the message!"
** Hospital**
Her eyes were furrowed, smashing some herbs she activated her chakra and started to mix various things. " Ah, your mixing herbal ointment with chakra?", an voice spoke behind her.
