Hello everyone, I'm back to bring y'all yet another update to the story. I'm sorry I've been so off and on about it. Lately things have been so crazy around the house that it is hard to be constant and I know I keep making crazy promises to update often, but I'll try for you all. You guys are the reason I make this after all and it's only fair to try my best for you.

But I'll stop with the sappy stuff and get to the part I'm sure you all skipped this for XD

Naruto Reborn: Sasuke Uchiha

Chapter 5

Page 3.1

Tsunade was preparing silently in her room for what she decided to do with a heavy heart. *sigh* "I wonder what you two would have wanted me to do? Well I guess I will have to find out when I see you again" she thought as she stood up and began to walk towards the door. "Shizune come on" she quickly yelled then saw her companion walk towards her with a confused and nervous look in her eyes. "Well I guess we are going to have to find out what is going to happen when it does." Tsunade thought when then walked out the door without thinking about it again.

*Meeting point*

Tsunade eventually found Orochimaru standing atop a large stone wall, next to him his loyal servant Kabuto. The two of them jumped down and stood in front of the wall as they awaited her answer.

"So, have you made your decision Tsunade?" Orochimaru asked in his normal crazed voice. Course Tsunade didn't actually say anything instead she just raised up her hands were a bluish green color appeared.

"Ah, I am so glad you agreed with me" Orochimaru said with a small smirk and lifted his hands up to Tsunade's as she brought her hands closer. They were about to touch when a Kunai was thrown by Kabuto, stopping her from making contact and causing her to jump back a little.

"Tsk, Tsk Tsunade you were supposed to heal me thankfully I had my trusted servant Kabuto here to help me or your jutsu might have just had me." Orochimaru said with a soft smirk on his lips

Just then the two of them had to jump away as Tsunade reared a hand back and smashed her fist into the wall they'd just been in front of, right around where Orochimaru's head had been. She didn't stop there though and began another charge, fully intending to crush her former team mate into a pulp.

So, Orochimaru brought one of his injured hands up to his mouth and bit into the skin just under his wrist drawing some blood. After he did that he quickly flung that arm at her causing a bit of blood to splatter on her causing her hemophobia to act up. Almost immediately she began to shake and could only focus on the blood droops that were on her face.

"What is wrong still afraid of blood Tsu-chan? Well I can fix that!" He told her than charged at her with his sword that he regurgitated. Just as he drew in close enough for a strike he found himself being rocketed back by a knee directly to the chin, sent by none other than Ami, who had showed up just in time as she got into a fighting stance with a deep glare aimed at the two.

"Don't you DARE attack her" She yelled out angrily while looking back to check on the elder woman. "Sorry I'm late, but you know, the hero always shows up just in the nick of time!" She said with a smile.

Ami then sprinted forward and threw a fake out punch, switching for a chakra charged kick sending the man sliding ten feet away from Orochimaru and Tsunade. Kabuto gave a slightly irritated noise before pushing his glasses up.

"Dear Ami, you know you don't stand a chance against me. And with your little friend Sasuke out of the picture after that Genjutsu I don't see him coming to your rescue either. So, what will you do now?" He asked with cockiness dripping in his voice at his own ability.

"Well I was thinking about kicking your ass and then seeing how far I can shove my foot up it before breaking it off, but now I think I'll just show you the inside of your colon before I send you crying back to your master" Ami countered before performing her usual cross hand sign. "Multi Shadow Clone jutsu!" She yelled out as dozens of clones appeared around her and began to charge.

As the clones charged Kabuto set to work with dispatching them left and right with his scalpels and taijutsu, his smirk never leaving his lips the whole time. Though that smirk only drove Ami to want to beat it off of him even more as she created a few more clones and drew a few Kunai from her pouch.

While Kabuto was busy dealing with the pesky clones he almost didn't notice the flurry of Kunai until it was too late, but with his quick reaction time he managed to dodge them and only got a few scratches. But then before he could counter he found his body was unable to move. Looking toward Ami he saw she was in the Nara Shadow Possession jutsu stance and that her shadow was indeed connected to his. His eyes went wide from this as he struggled to move and Ami's clones smirked.

"Ami Style: Shadow Possession, success" The young Redhead said as she rose to her feet, a smirk coming to her lips as she took a step and watched as Kabuto did in fact do that same.

"This isn't possible, that jutsu is a clan bloodline!" Kabuto practically shouted as he tried to move, now feeling a bit worried as she took another step toward him and he did the same.

"You should have paid more attention in the chunin exams rather than betraying us Kabuto, then you'd know that I've figured out several clan techniques and made my own versions" Ami retorted before she formed her cross symbol again and Kabuto noticed something in that moment that made him smirk a little.

Orochimaru had been just about to intervene when suddenly Kabuto laughed a little, causing him to look at the scene again.

"I see now, when I dodged the Kunai you hid several senbon in the mix so that I would be more worried about dodging the blades and unable to notice the needles. Then you had wires attached to the senbon and you used your clones to create a little intricate puppet out of me using the wires and the shadow thing is just your way of bastardizing the jutsu right" He deduced as Ami frowned, he had figured it out extremely quickly. "So I'm right"

Without another word he created his chakra scalpel again and heard a satisfying twang sound as a few of the wires attached to him snapped. Doing the same with his the hand he was rewarded with a similar sound, but his little victory didn't last long as Ami spoke up.

"You may have figured it out, but that doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet" She said as the clones moved suddenly, all of them jumping around him and switching places as the wires tangled his body faster than he could cut them. "Ami Style: Clone Web Big Bang!" She yelled out as at the same time the clones rushed the tangled man and jumped at him.

BOOM

The entire area was shrouded in smoke as the clone bomb went off, with Ami giving a smirk and then speaking up again. "Not so tough now are ya traitor?"

Before she could turn to Tsunade to begin her celebration she felt a foot impact her gut, knocking the wind out of her and sending her rolling across the dirt. Looking up she saw Kabuto, slightly burnt and with singed clothing but still in relatively good fighting condition, and looking at where he'd been there were only the cindering remains of a log he'd substituted with.

While Ami was struggling to get to her feet after the wind was knocked out of her Kabuto began to walk closer.

"I'll be honest your little trick almost had me, and you would have gotten me if I hadn't thought quickly and substituted. But I won't make that mistake aga-" He was cut off mid sentence by the fist of none other than Tsunade clashing with his cheek and making his head rattle as he was launched away.

The older woman then kneeled down and helped Ami to her feet, looking her over and giving a nod. "Looks like just some light bruising, I'll look at it after we're done here" She said before turning to the downed Kabuto who seemed to be struggling to move. "I've scrambled your nervous system, you won't be getting up any time soon, now lay there while me and your boss have a discussion" She spat before walking toward the snake Sanin.

She didn't make it though, as before she could get within range Orochimaru made a last ditch attempt to keep her back and used his long tongue to whip a Kunai at Ami, who was ready and jumped to the side, only to see that Kabuto had gotten up and was about to take her head off with a chakra scalpel.

Everything seemed to slow down as Ami waited for the pain that would end her, only to feel herself hit something and to hear Kabuto's pained noise and the sound of fist meeting flesh. Opening her eyes again Ami saw in front of her was a tall figure, dressed in a dark purplish colored robe with the hood up so she couldn't see his head. What she could see though were the black gloves on his hands and the pale white bare feet under his robe, a very strange thing to her.

She didn't have long to look at him because then the figure spoke up in a slightly deep and gravelly tone.

"I didn't want to intervene like this, so I could examine the jinchuuriki's skill level.. But I cannot let you kill her. She is too important.." The male said while looking over his shoulder and revealing his unusual masked face: The upper half was almost like an Anbu mask, except it covered his entire head and was in the shape of a wolf, but the lower half was the most interesting part. It formed into a toothy maw design and had two protrusions on the side where violet chakra was being emitted constantly(1)

"Now, dear Jinchuuriki… please do me a favor and back up a bit while I take care of a pest problem…" The man said in a tone that made even Ami just slowly nod and back up, he said it in a friendly way but underneath it there was a commanding voice that just made her feel like she had to listen to him. She backed up to Tsunade who was now standing near the crushed castle wall before looking at the man who lightly tapped his foot and looked at the Sanin and his lackie. "Now…. shall we begin?"

And I'm calling it right there, DON'T worry, the next chapter WILL be longer. THIS chapter was actually a lot longer but after reading it again I wanted to kinda wait for this next big fight. And for those who are worried about the whole "Now Tsunade has no reason to go back, Ami didn't show the Rasengan" and all that. Please don't get ahead of me XD I will explain everything in the next chapter! I just shortened this because I was taking WAY too long and I know you all were thinking that my story was abandoned. But Tis not I swear!

P.s. if it seems rushed, that is because IT was! Lol, I had to start over completely cuz my google docs account crashed and I lost EVERYTHING. So I had to retype all of this, it was a pain in the ass.
