Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1300-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Otagakure.)

Marmora rested next to a stream. He was busy training himself to walk on water. He found it easier without shoes which allowed him to concentrate on sending the Charka on his feet.

He didn't notice Sakura was passed out from something. He hummed and continued to focus on water walking and deciding what to do next on his and Sakura's date.

(Within Kuraokami's realm)

Sakura was about to teach Marmora more about water walking when she passed out. She felt the familiar presence of Kuraokami as she was pulled into Kuraokami's realm.

"I apologize… You should be getting used to that hopefully." Kuraokami said while he rose out of the water.

"You don't have a better way of contacting me?" Sakura asked, the massive god said nothing.

"I have news to tell you… I have had visions of the future." Kuraokami stated, Sakura blinked.

"You can't talk to Marmora?" Sakura asked Kuraokami hummed.

"He cannot comprehend my power, I have tried to contact him at the moment… Sakura, how much about the Otsutsuki clan do you know?" He asked, Sakura blinked in shock.

"You mean the clan Kaguya is part of?" She asked, Kuraokami nodded.

"Yes. I have had a vision of 2 of their clan fighting Marmora and me, in a form far more powerful than the current Artic Armor Marmora uses. I see him fighting a warrior with Rinnegan eyes in his hands." He stated, he held up his palm.

Sakura could see an ethereal being with horns that reminded her of Kaguya, he had skin as white as snow, zig zag hair. She could also see he had a white kariginu, baggy pants and pair of Tengu-geta. She finally saw a hagoromo veil over his head.

Sakura could see him fighting a being with a helmet that looked like a dragon clamping onto the head of the warrior, his bottom jaw formed the bottom of the helmet. She saw blade like teeth on top and on bottom of the helmet with the eyes in the middle. Sakura blinked at the monstrous horns poking from his head, arms, chest and legs.

He had a second pair of arms holding swords, she could see that it looked like Kuraokami had coiled around his chest, his feet the other hands. she also saw another pair of wings that looked like they were made out of Charka. She could also see him glowing with an aura of Charka that looked like Kuraokami hovering above him.

Sakura could see the duo fighting to the death, slashes of blade met an obsidian staff. Sakura watched the duo trade punches and kick that sent shattering shockwaves along the ground, shattering it.

"Marmora!?" Sakura yelled, Kuraokami hummed.

"Marmora here is at the height of his power here. He has equaled the Hokage and Uchiha during the war… He has tapped into my full power." Kuraokami said before he started to gasp in pain.

"Tell the Hokage evil comes for him and the noble shinobi… Marmora must train and master his powers if he is to fight the war. You are a piece of the puzzle, Sakura… But you must keep an eye on Marmora. I will contact you soon." The god of rain and snow said before he vanished under the water.

(With Marmora)

Marmora turned at the sound of Sakura groaning while she blinked.

Marmora was piggyback carrying her on his back, she turned to look at him while he smiled.

"I was wondering when you'd wake up. You were freaking me out, I thought you were going into a coma." He said, Sakura groaned before blinking.

"Your carrying me?" She asked, Marmora shrugged.

"I was taking you back to the Leaf. I can't do that for my girlfriend/roommate?" He asked, Sakura rolled her eyes.

(At an unknown location)

Shin stood in front of a group of monitors. A group of hooded figures in front of him.

"I told you the scientist couldn't capture the mercenary… We founded you to capture the wielder of the dragon and you are overwhelmed and forced to flee." He heard from one of the hooded figures.

"Marmora is more powerful than I assumed, he and the Haruno woman proved to be more than a match for me." Shin said, other figure sighed.

"We won't be ready to launch our next operation with the world hunting you, Shin… You wish to have more funding? You will take Boro and capture the Haruno…. The host of Kuraokami has a soft spot for her, if Marmora becomes as strong as the Hokage and Uchiha, he will be able to destroy all of us…" He stated, the monitors clicked.

(With Marmora and Sakura)

Marmora turned to Sakura while he and her walked towards Konoha.

"I'm wondering… You want to do something tomorrow, Sakura?" He asked, she turned to him and crossed her arms, a smirk pulling at her lips.

"You still have a job to do when we get back. I'm also not going to ease up on you just because we're dating… I wouldn't be a very good teacher." Sakura said, Marmora rolled his eyes.

"You didn't say no." He said, Sakura sighed and playfully punched him in the arm.

"You still hit harder than a train…" He muttered, rubbing at his arm, Sakura sighed and smiled.

"We should talk about that after we get back to Konoha… You don't consider walking with me a date?" Sakura asked, Marmora hummed.

"I thought my sense of humor would never ever rub off on you." He said, he crossed his arms behind his back.

"I'm going to practice water walking and tree climbing all the time, Sakura. You should know I enjoy doing it more with you around. I don't think you've ever noticed how snaky and funny you tend to be or how you've come a long way from being a Genin, everyone in Konoha has come so far. I can't think of a more inspiring city then seeing all the Genin become legends and fight for what they believe in." He said, Sakura slugged him in the shoulder.

"You need to stop being a kiss up. I know you like Konoha, but you should show more pride in your own village… I will admit, your jokes are funny. I'm also going to admit that you can be brave and focused… You do need to stop trying to fight everyone alone, you got focused on fighting Shin and not coordinating much with me. I can't help you much if you aren't willing to stay with me," Sakura stated. Marmora hummed.

"I can try. I'm worried how Naruto is going to react to the news. Shin is going to be a danger to the entire country. He's smart, he has Sharingan eyes and he has clones. I shudder to think what Shin's next move is." He said, Sakura frowned and remembered what Kuraokami told her.

"Naruto will think of something. Hes become much better at plans. I'm more worried about the hospital, I hope everyone is good there." Sakura stated before Marmora nodded.

"We're see when we get back to home." He said.

Sakura looked at their hands and slowly slipped her hand into Marmora's.

Marmora looked at their hands but said nothing and slowly interlaced their fingers like he had seen before.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out Momoshiki is probably going to be the main villain with Shin serving as a secondary villain and Kara as major villains. I am NOT trying to make Marmora above Sasuke and Naruto, he will be equal with them. Next chapter will be on Sunday or so and will show Marmora and Sakura talking to Naruto. Marmora training and them setting up a date, until then, Lighting Wolf out!
