Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Land of Waves.)

It was far too quiet on the roof in comparison to a minute ago. A foolish man would think that this meant the intruders had been long gone.

It took Sakura about a second to turn and counter the White Zetsu behind her and send it rolling down the side of the house and into one of the lawn spikes.

"A White Zetsu? I haven't seen those things since Kaguya." Kuraokami hissed out before Marmora hummed.

He was forced back by a pair of them, one managed a punch to his ribs while the other buried its foot into his hip.

Marmora was sent rolling back and almost off the house itself before stubbornly digging his kunai into the roof to stop his descent.

"Ok, I haven't fought guys like this before, so can you mind telling me who or what a White Zetsu is?" he questioned before letting go and then swinging himself inside.

He cracked his back and growled in pain as he felt something shift uncomfortably under his skin. It hurt a lot more then Marmora assumed it would.

"Their mind-controlled people Kaguya conscripted into an army to fight Momoshiki. I thought they were all sealed away when she was defeated. Momoshiki having his hands on an entire army like this? ugh, it makes my skin crawl just to think about it." Marmora was interrupted by a crash as something exploded through the ceiling.

He was forced to roll away and felt something coil into his side again, sending him corkscrewing into a table which shattered as he hit it.

"Ow, these things hit like a damn truck." Marmora hissed in pail as he struggled to stand up and glare at the warrior that had broken in.

White Zetsu, Marmora sighed and balled up his fists as he prepared for another fight.

"I told you Naruto was going to be better than me for this." Marmora hissed as he surged forward.

If Kuraokami cared to hear this? it fell on deaf ears as the dragon god ignored this.

Marmora wanted to know how Momoshiki had gotten his hands on such an army, but he could save the questions for another time. he dodged a fist aimed at his face before a roundhouse kick from the other sent him crashing into the wall at full force.

He grunted and pulled himself out of the concrete and plaster. Whatever manner of creature these things were? They were far stronger and faster than any warrior he had encountered.

"These things were meant to go and fight Momoshiki. I want to know how the hell he got his hands on them." Marmora dodged a kunai aimed at his face and deflected another into the wall.

This was before another portion of the ceiling exploded and another White Zetsu slammed into his comrades.

Marmora watched as wood and plaster exploded, the beings were dragged down like food into the hole of a beast before he saw strands of pink.

Sakura looked a lot worse than she felt, she had experience with Kaguya, and dealing with her army was something she had dealt with before.

She wondered if the wannabe god had known about the tree that served as Kaguya's prison.

'No, if he had known, he would have found a way to produce the clones from that tree. still, I wonder just how much of Kaguya's empire Momoshiki has control over.' Sakura thought to herself as she looked at Marmora.

The boy hadn't even managed to score a single hit on the White Zetsu. She'd be mad, but he had no experience fighting anything from Kaguya's army, she reasoned.

Marmora panted before another crack in the ceiling was heard.

"Those things are strong enough to take a punch from you?" Marmora questioned; Sakura nodded.

Marmora frowned, anything that could survive a punch from Sakura worried him. she was strong enough to level an entire mountain, it shouldn't have been possible for such creatures.

Then again, such creatures were easily defeating him when he was able to hold off squads of mercs alone. he shouldn't be so surprised the creatures who nearly did Sakura in were far beyond what he could currently contend with.

"There's going to be more. We need to find the scroll and leave. I almost worry about what's going to happen…" Marmora was cut off when a line of thread crashed through the wall.

Before Marmora could react, he was pulled through the wall before being swung around.

Sakura crashed through the hole in time for Marmora to go sailing towards the pond on the other side of the manor.

He spun along the water before landing at the edge.

"This, is the one that Momoshiki is worried about? I'm sorely shocked he couldn't even overcome my toys." She heard before seeing the line come back to its owner.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! first? To the person who called Marmora a 'trash self-insert Gary sue?' Marmora hasn't won any battles on his own yet. also? He's still growing, he said several times he isn't on par with Naruto or Sasuke. Next chapter will be in a week and will show Sakura dueling Urashiki. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
