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.)

Marmora was tossed into the wall before dodging a pair of White Zetsu which smashed through the wall and almost decapitated him. Marmora cursed and looked at Urashiki who grinned, easily considering the human below his notice or care.

"Surrender the scroll now, and I will endeavor to end your life as quick and painlessly as possible." Urashiki stated, leaning on the wall as Marmora knocked a Zetsu backwards with a kick, sending it skidding toward Urashiki.

This caused Urashiki to glare at him as Marmora continued to fight off his minions, trying to smack them to the ground and finish them off quickly.

He was going to die here. Marmora knew for a fact he was going to perish in battle as he sighed hummed and cracked his neck.

Marmora backflipped into a crouch as he brushed off his back and grunted in pain.

"Kid, your insane, he will kill you in this fight." Kuraokami stated, questioning why his host was being so reckless.

Marmora was well aware the odds were against him. he knew for a fact that he was going to be in for the fight of his life.

Marmora didn't care, he had to hold off Urashiki, any damage he did here? it would weaken Momoshiki and his army and allow Konoha and its allies to take them down. this was a last stand, not a fight to the death with an equal enemy.

"I know." Marmora stated before he sighed and looked around at the group of White Zetsu who surrounded him.

They wanted blood, his blood. they circled him like sharks, all eager for him to make a mistake so they could end the fight easily.

"You're not getting that scroll even if this fight kills me, I'll never let you have it." Marmora stated to Urashiki, he kicked a White Zetsu to the ground before another punched him into the wall, sending him crashing through it and along the ground.

Marmora slowly stood up, grunting in pain before engaging the White Zetsu again.

Every single Zetsu who was killed in battle with him was one he didn't have to worry about Konoha dealing with. That was the last action he could give to atone for his past.

(With Sakura)

Sakura knew Urashiki would win his fight with Marmora. He didn't have the power, speed or strength to defeat an Otsutsuki member in combat when it came down to it.

That was why she had no problem coming back toward where Marmora was. She had stashed the scroll he gave her somewhere she would find by herself when this was done.

"Idiot is going to get himself killed." Sakura leapt to a rock, the charka in her feet cracking the stone as she drew closer. She could feel Kuraokami's presence on her mind again.

"I'm surprised you came back… not that it isn't the best. Kid is getting thrashed." His words were simple, direct.

And yet Sakura easily noted the concern within them. Marmora was fighting a war he couldn't possibly win, and he chose to do it purely to die fighting in combat to give people a better fighting chance.

Kuraokami looked around at the girl and noted the lack of the scroll in her hands before he chuckled.

"You left the scroll somewhere Urashiki won't find it?" Sakura nodded as she drew closer to the house.

Marmora dodged a White Zetsu and then hit it with a Water Bullet, sending it skidding through a wall before retreating to the remains of the roof.

"Hess a idiot." Kuraokami heard from Sakura and nodded with sheer amusement.

"Yes, the kid is. He's putting in everything and still getting his backside handed to him… tell me, your aware that Urashiki might be the weakest of the trio, but he's still strong enough to kill a Jonin, right?" Kuraokami asked, Sakura nodded.

She knew Otsutsuki from her battle with Kaguya, if Kaguya was one of the top warriors in the clan? Then it made sure that he was far too dangerous to try and engage him.

Urashiki followed after Marmora. Sakura hummed and flipped over the railing and into the yard as the White Zetsu turned their heads to the new arrival as Kuraokami chuckled with amusement to the Kunoichi and then nodded.

"Well, just try not to murder the kid if you can. We still have a war to win, you know… I'll be here if you need me… and the kid just used Arctic Armor, I hate him so much." Kuraokami slowly faded away.

Marmora didn't notice Sakura until she dispatched a group of White Zetsu with a single punch, throwing them all around the yard.

Its surprised Marmora enough for him to blink in shock at this and for Urashiki to throw him off the roof.

He landed in front of Sakura.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Marmora and Sakura's story will be either going from 1 chapter a month or on hold. I don't know much what to do with the story and I wish to focus on other stories. Next chapter will be in a few weeks and will show the second battle with Urashiki. Until then Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: Kurotsuchi will be maybe Friday, Sarada on Saturday or before… and Ino maybe next week.
