Chapter 11: The Battle
Sasuke's POV
This is a waste of time. They probably already have us figured out and aren't going to show up. Sakura's smart, but not smart enough. Whoever the spy is obviously figured us out and told the others to hold back. After all, we've been here for two hours and nothing has happened. Naruto's probably almost out of chakra from hold out his clone jutsu for so long.
I casually looked around. Nothing, nothing's there- wait a minute, what was that? I saw a flash. I think it was a shadow. I used my sharingan. I see them. They're hiding in the shadows. I quickly reached for my wireless radio.
I see them, they're hiding in the shadows, using some sort of technique.
Really, teme, are you sure?
Positive, I used my sharingan, what should we do?
We have to draw them into the open. Sakura said. There's a net hidden on the ground underneath a genjutsu. It' should be able to capture most of the thieves. The rest we'll fight.
Okay, that's the plan everyone. Kakashi-sensei said We attack on three. One, two, three, GO!!
The clones were all turned to smoke, which gave us the element of surprise. As planned, we were able to drive most of the rouge ninja into the trap. I met up with a guy dressed entirely in black who was wearing a mask. By his chakra signature, he seems stronger than most of the others.
"Well well, if it isn't the last Uchiha. What honor do I have to be able to fight you?" He said amused.
"Hn. Urusai." (shut up)
I appeared behind him in a flash and attacked with a kunai. He blocked it with his katana. However, as soon as our blades touched, I felt my chakra being sucked out. Immediately, I pulled away.
"You like it, it's my specialty: Ninja Art, Blade of Regrets. It uses an opponents chakra by sucking it out then using the same chakra to attack them. It literally makes them regret coming in contact with me."
As if it was a demonstration, he held his katana up high above my head. Suddenly, it started to glow with a light blue color. It immediately came crashing down. I dodged, but part of my sleeve was ripped. That was close. Very close. I drew out my sword as well.
"Chidori Nagashi!"
I charged and our blades touched once again. However, His did not snap in half like it was supposed to. Instead, it absorbed the lightning from my sword and sent the attack back at me. I was pushed back into the wall.
I coughed up some blood. Pain, I haven't felt this way for a long time. Back in Oto, I was the strongest out of all my opponents. Of course, at that time, I still had my curse mark.
No, don't even think about using that thing. I couldn't anyways because the fifth had sealed it. Besides, she made it perfectly clear that if I were to purposely release the seal, she'd put me in jail. And I don't want to go to jail. I'll just have to manage without it.
I launched several of my best fire attacks, which were all absorbed and sent back to me. I have to get that sword out of his hands somehow, since it seems like it was the only technique he could use. Or, I could force him into hand-to-hand combat, since it looks like he's not very strong in that area.
I got it! Every time I attack, he always absorbs the chakra. He never once dodged it. Does that mean that he has difficulties with speed? Let's test it out. I performed a HUGE fireball jutsu for him to absorb, then appeared behind him in the blink of an eye. I quickly stabbed him in the back with my katana. As expected, he wasn't quick enough to block it. He slowly fell to the floor as I hurried to another opponent.
Sakura's POV
Hit, stab, duck, punch, slice, jump, kick, duck…and on and on it went. I was currently fighting five opponents at a time, which was very difficult. I barely managed to survive by finally hitting them square in the face. It seemed that they were quick on their feet, but lacked powerful techniques. However, they were persistent, and by the time I was done with them, nearly half of my chakra was gone.
If it goes on like this, I won't last. Kusco! After all that training and my chakra level still isn't high enough!
More opponents came. This time, they were stronger. I couldn't keep up. I had several cut on my arms and legs and a severe one on my waist. It's no use, my chakra's depleting. Even though I'm using medical ninjutsu to aim for major blood vessels and pressure points, they're too fast and I only managed to take out two more opponents. Two more ninja came and joined the two that were left. They barely had any wounds, other than a couple minor scratches. I was cornered into the wall. Oh no, I was gonna get it now.
Calm down Sakura, relax. You must not show any weakness. You must be strong and die with honor. Be as still as a stone and look them straight in the eye. No matter what, I must not be weak.
They all drew out their weapons, preparing to take my life. I stared at the one in front with no emotion, as if daring them to strike. They advanced. I was calm on the outside, but panicked on the inside. Then, someone appeared behind the four.
"Need some help, Sakura-chan…
AN: I'm starting to lose interest in this story, which is bad cause that means I'm going to pay less and less attention to the chapters. Therefore, they won't be as good. Is that normal, you know, losing interest in something you yourself started? I think it's the fact that the mission is pulling the story away from its plot. After all, this is a sasusaku fic and I've barely included anything related to the subject. I'm going to try to end the mission in the next few chapters so that I can resume to the topic of sasusaku. Don't worry, I'm not going to put the story on hold or stop writing it. I'm absolutely not a quitter. Please give me some advice because I really need it. REVIEW!!
