Chapter 7 - The Woman of The Poison Mist
Eight days later,10 miles away from the border with the Land of Tea. A flurry of activity can be heard from the woodland road. A band of seven leaf shinobi leap from tree to tree. The last one stops for a moment to catch his breath and to cough into his hand. After he is done, he places his hand on the trunk next to him to reassure his balance before jumping off once more, leaving a bloody hand next to where he was.
A few minutes later a figure in a thick hooded black cloak appears on the branch. The figure stops and slowly turns their body to face the bloody handprint. A long viperlike tongue crawls out from under the hood and lashes at the handprint. In response to its taste the figure squirms. In an almost euphoric and eerie tone, they proclaim "They are close, soon our prey shall be within our trap." With that, the figure disappears in a green cloud. The seven leaf chunin takes a sharp right turn as the young girl in the front, no more in age than Mari or Kasai spots several paper bomb traps on the road and in the forest to the left of the group. The group continues to leap from tree to tree, slowly separating as one by one the chunin at the back slow down from injury and fatigue.
A boy with brown hair and an injured arm shouts "Hanabi slow down, Yasuga and Runen can't keep pace" he gestures back to the heavily wounded boy who is still bleeding from the mouth and neck, as well as a blonde girl most likely from the Yamanaka clan who seems to be going pale as a far deeper neck wound continues to bleed. "Damn it" Hanabi shouts "It's a trap" she leaps out of the forest to find a several hundred feet clearing then a sheer cliff. "Ugari" she points at the boy with the injured arm. "You get behind the lines with Yasuga and Runen, heal them, and yourself the best you can with medical-nin. The rest of you hold a crescent formation behind me." Hanabi barks orders at the panicked chunin.
The girl Yasuga falls from a branch almost passing out in the process. Ugari the medic-nin leaps and scoops her before landing onto the ground. "Runen, hurry it up" he yells. Just as the words leave his lips a drop of blood falls onto the bridge of his nose and begins to run down the crevices in his face. Slowly he looks up to see Runen being held by the hooded figure. Runen lets out a blooded gurgel before being dropped to the ground. He lands onto the ground, his throat ripped out and blood splattered all around the wound. Ugari looks back up to the figure only to see a green mist fade. He glances around before his eyes settle in front of him. Almost appearing out of thin air the figure stands tall looming over the young medic-nin. An eerie and ominous voice comes from under the hood, "The hunt is never fun when the prey make it this easy for me"
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm" can be heard from behind the figure. It quickly spins around and blocks the wall of force that hits it with immense power. The figure is knocked back several feet into the woods. With the opening, Ugari runs for the formation of the chunin.
"Hanabi you saved me thank you so much." Ugari exasperated to Hanabi "Do you think you killed them?" He asked naively.
"Don't thank me yet and don't ask dumb questions" Hanabi retorted, in frustration and worry.
"Ahhhhhh a Hyuga, and we don't sense that idiotic seal on your head and eyes. After we drain you of blood and chakra we shall take those eyes" a myriad of hissing voices echo in chorus with one another.
"Why don't you come out here and face us you monster, so I can rip out your eyes!" Hanabi defiantly screams.
An eerie and malicious laugh begins to ring out across the woodline "so be it" a hideous snake-like voice rings out.
Several moments go past, the chunin on the cliff grip kunai, and prepare hand seals. A single leaf falls from a tree, all eyes watch it knowing that as soon as it touches earth all shall begin. The leaf softly touches the ground, as it does the hearts of the six remaining chunin stop for just a single beat. As if at the exact moment all hearts beat again as one. Over a dozen giant snakes, large enough to snatch a full-grown man in their maws, burst forth from the woodline. With lightning-like speed they rush forward, snatching four chunin within a second, the only chunin able to hold off any attack is Hanabi who uses rotation in an attempt to defend herself and her team. Those who were snatched by the snakes began to scream in agony as bones began to snap and curl under the pressure from the jaws of the giant snakes. One chunin is thrown into the air as two snakes snap at her she is torn apart.
Hanabi, Ugari, and the near-dead Yasuga look on mortified at the sight they are witnessing. Hanabi almost drops her guard in shock but glances back at the two teammates behind her. Holding herself strong she once again begins rotation as 10 giant snakes lunge at her. The rotation holds them off, but for how much longer she doesn't know. The snakes all begin to coil up together and shrink. After they do so they take the form of the figure once more. However, the hood is now down showing her face. A pale husk of a woman with the eyes of a snake, purple markings around them that go down to the nose. Her skin almost fully scaled.
The Pale Woman flicks her wrist and Hanabi feels a deep gash in her side immediately. A smirk forms across her malevolent face. In quick succession slash after slash rupture through Hanabi. Eventually, she falls to her knees unable to continue under such onslaught.
The Pale Woman strides past her, Ugari launches himself at the woman with a kunai in hand, however inches from her face Ugari's arm is torn off. The Pale Woman lashes Ugari's neck with her tongue. Her body unmoving, "you are not worthy for us to feed upon '' the woman maliciously taunts the boy before grabbing him by the throat and casually throwing him off the cliff. Hanabi attempts to move to help but her snapped tendons make her unable to move near at all.
The Pale Woman grabs the near lifeless girl by the hair, doing so only able to elicit a small pained groan. Dragging her in front of Hanabi, she crouches face to face with the young Hyuga and begins to drink her friend dry of both blood and chakra. Tears rush down Hanabi's face even more. "You bastard, I will tear you apart!" She proclaims completely enraged. Enough so that she begins to stand despite her body being barely able to hold itself together let alone move.
The Pale Woman flicks her wrist and Hanabi's Achilles tendons rupture. Doing so forces her back to her knees. She moves in close, her tongue stretches out and licks a cut on the side of her cheek. Her tongue moves towards her eye as does her hand.
The Pale Woman begins to press her fingers to the top and bottom of Hanabi's eye. Just as she is about to pull on her eye a hand grabs and crushes her arm. Pulling away and leaping back she looks her assailant in the eyes. She sees before her Anko Mitarashi, a glowing purple aura surrounding her, and her eyes that of a snake with solid purple markings around them. With a furious tone, the snake sage demands "Where are my student's Sasame?"
