Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.
(Konoha, training grounds.)
Marmora faced Shin, he growled while circling the Uchiha wannabe.
"I told you to wait! They wouldn't be alone. Now they know we're here." Shin stated, Marmora growled while he drew a Kunai from his pouch and twirled it.
"Shin…." He muttered, Shin smirked, it felt a lot like a snake circling its prey.
"Hello Marmora. I'm glad to see that you've grown stronger than last time." Shin said before he rushed at Marmora.
He ducked under a punch before aiming another punch at Shin which he blocked before kicking back.
Marmora slid to the water before making the hand signs for one of his Jutsu.
"Water Release: Aqua Salvo!" He yelled, he fired blasts of water at Shin, each blast being pulled from the stream.
Shin simply teleported the water blasts away with his eyes before Marmora managed to land a punch to his face.
Shin spat out blood before throwing his cloak to the side and making a rock. He cracked it and drew it to his missing arm.
"You've certainly improved. I'll be eager to help Kara dissect you." Marmora heard from Shin before he sighed and formed the Sea Swords.
"Your nothing more than a rogue science experiment. I'm going to show you just how much stronger ive gotten." He stated before rushing Shin again.
"Marmora!" Sakura yelled before Boro grabbed her leg in midair as she went to leap at him.
"Stay down, girly!" He said before flinging her backwards, Sakura flipped backwards before digging her fingers into the ground.
"Focus on him, I've got Shin!" Marmora yelled while he parried a slash from Shin. He growled before cutting up his left arm and then kicking him back before Shin slammed a fragment of stone into his chest.
Sakura turned to Boro who chuckled while marching towards the Jonin.
"I heard your supposed to be a master medical Kunoichi… You should know your little boyfriend there is our target. Your just collateral." Boro said, Sakura shifted her foot backwards before rushing Boro.
She hit him with a Charka enhanced punch which caused him to slide back 5 feet before he stood up, his spine cracking like a whip as he laughed.
"Your every bit as strong as I've heard. You might actually make this fun." Boro stated, Sakura prepared for his counterattack while watching Marmora.
He slid under a chunk of rock being thrown at him. He managed to land a kick which knocked Shin to the ground and allowed him to cut off part of Shin's artificial arm.
Sakura dodged a punch from Boro. She blinked at how fast he was. He kicked her back; Sakura slid all the way to the water and fell into the stream.
"SAKURA!" Shin threw Marmora to the ground before planting his foot on Marmora's neck as he looked up at the wannabe Uchiha.
"Your weakness is caring about others; I don't believe in those methods." Shin stated, Marmora growled before Boro started to walk towards him.
"LIGHTNING BLADE!" He heard before a hand pierced through Boro, making him scream before Shin was forced back by a kick.
Kakashi landed on the battlefield as Sakura climbed out of the stream.
"I warned you they were onto us; we've lost the element of surprise!" Shin yelled before Sakura rushed towards Boro.
He turned to face her only for her to hit him hard enough to throw him high into the air. He vanished into the air, miles away.
"I honestly get surprised anytime she's that strong…" Marmora stated before Shin vanished right before Kakashi could land a kick to his face.
"Ugh, they've gotten tougher…" Marmora said before rubbing at his neck as Kakashi walked over to them.
"Their come back." Marmora stated before sitting on a log and looking at Sakura.
"I thought you got hurt badly." He said, Sakura started to heal his wounds while he sighed.
"Those 2 are more dangerous then what we've faced in the past, Sakura. Boro's an S rank criminal, one who's healing abilities are on par with Naruto's." Kakashi said, Marmora hummed.
"Anyone who can take a punch from Sakura and ignore it is someone I don't want to fight again… Ugh, how did they sneak up on us?" Kakashi continued to look at the distance where Boro had been sent.
He knew the punch wouldn't kill him, the only way he could see Boro being killed is if the attack ripped him to bloody pieces too small to count.
"Kakashi, what brings you here? I thought you were usually on patrol." Sakura asked before Marmora clenched his fist and turned to look at her.
"Naruto assigned me to watch over both of you… And it seems with Kara coming after you, he made another right call." He said, Marmora cracked his neck and sighed.
"Who the hell is Kara, and why the hell is Shin working with them?" He asked, Kakashi looked at the couple while Marmora tried to brush off the water from Sakura's skin.
"I'll talk to seventh, but go home. You won't be safe as long as you're on the street, their come after you. I'm going to see if someone who Sakura should be very familiar with can speak with you… Sakura? Shin isn't as dangerous as Boro, if you're going to fight him? you're going to need a way to hurt him that will cause damage too significant to repair, trust me, he can come back from any number of hits, but I'm sure your come up with something."
'Kid, I need to talk to you, I have some new information and a way to talk with them.' Kuraokami stated, Marmora hummed before he sighed.
"I think the big guy has a way of talking to me. I'm going home, if he has more news that helps me figure out more about what's to come? I'm going to take it." He stated before he started his walk home.
Sakura followed him as Kakashi watched the couple. They had worse issues to deal with.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that this story is going to be longer than I thought, but Kara isn't going to be main villains anymore. Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Urashiki are with Shin being the secondary villain. I'm also not going to have fights so often. Next chapter is going to show Marmora unlocking a power with Kuraokami and the arrival of an old famous character. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
