Memo

Hey there, time for another addition to this story! Nothing much to say here, just read the latest manga chapter from Naruto, sniff sniff.

Chapter 6: Chunnin Exam Chaos

Sasuke hit the 'Ultimate Shield' hard and fast with his Chidori; it looked like his fist was merely passing through water.
"Chidori" Kianna explained to a confused Naruto and Sakura "It's Kakashi's only original move, and also goes by the alias 'Lightning Edge'"
"Lightning Edge?"
"It was rumoured Kakashi once cut through lighting with that move."
Sakura looked highly skeptical, but Naruto looked in awe.
Gai continued in Kianna's stead, much to her annoyance. "Its secret lies in the human body's fastest attainable speed; the speed of thrust and the Chakra accumulated in one's arm."
"The arm turns into a sword that can cut through anything." Kianna cut in, looking at Kakashi's right arm, then giving Gai a dirty look for interrupting her before. However, for once, Gai wasn't paying attention to Kianna; he was looking at Kakashi with a foreboding look upon his face.
"What you taught him was reckless, Kakashi!"
"You shouldn't say that to me, right Lee?" Kakashi coolly replied, bending down and looking the bandaged boy in the eye. Gai did not answer back and an uncomfortable silence ensued.
"I don't really understand the logic" Sakura said to Kianna enthusiastically, not noticing the tension between Gai and Kakashi, "But it's an awesome move."

Sasuke felt a crushing pain in his left arm that was still placed from where he had rammed a hole into Gaara's ultimate shield. He tried desperately to yank his arm out but something held it firmly in place, squeezing the life out of it. He fired up his Chidori giving him the strength to partly liberate his arm from Gaara's fiery grip and free his arm from the hole which he had made. However, something followed him. It was if the sand itself had morphed into a horrific monster and was hankering for Sasuke's blood. Finally, after losing its grip on Sasuke, it retreated. Sliding slowly back into the hole, which Sasuke, himself, had made. He wondered what an earth he was going to do next. The hole, which he had made in the ultimate shield, was as black as night and mesmerized him. What was in there? He saw a creature stare at him, too horrific to describe, that glued him to the spot. Everyone in the stands was speechless wondering what to think of these strange occurrences, apart from the other Sand Shinobi, who all had an aghast expression fixed onto their faces.

There was a distinctive crack, as the sand around the hole began to splinter and the sand began to collapse, revealing a bent and stricken form inside. It was Gaara. He clasped his shoulder, which oozed a sticky red liquid and was panting heavily. Sasuke looked at his mad eyes. Those weren't the eyes he saw in the shield.

Kianna's eyelids suddenly felt like lead and she looked at Kakashi knowingly.
"Kakashi this is..."
"Yeah, an illusionary technique."
All three Leaf Jounin dispelled the illusion away quickly and, to Kianna's surprise, so did Sakura. There was an explosion where the Homage was situated, which grabbed everyone's attention. "A signal!" Gai yelled. Sand and Sound had begun their attack!

ANBU raced toward the Hokage's place to see if he was injured. Smoke surrounded the area making it impossible to see anything and suddenly two bodies rose from the smoke, landing on the roof of the stadium. It was the Hokage, but he was being held by the Kazedege. Sound-nin appeared from nowhere and stood to create a square around the two. They shouted Shishi Enjin (Quad-Violet Flame Field) that created a solid barrier and any that touched it were killed instantly, engulfed by violent flames. The Hokage was trapped!
"Those are no ordinary ninja. They outmaneuver ANBU" Kakashi slurred in a monotone voice.
The three leaf jounin ran down the steps of the stage, only to be greeted by an ANBU ninja.
"What are you doing? The Hokage is in danger!" Gai yelled at the lone ninja.
The ANBU said nothing, just clasped his hands into a seal and he was joined by four sound-nin.
"Damn" mumbled Kianna through her gritted teeth. "I didn't expect the enemy to be disguised as an ANBU member. Was he the one that used the illusionary technique?"
"Yeah. There's no doubt about it." Kakashi replied looking at her face. He could she had already unleashed her Sharinghan, eager to fight.
"Kakashi, Kianna look inside the field." Gai interrupted.
All three of looked and yelled "Orchimaru" instantaneously, fear etched upon their faces, so he was disguised as the Kazaegde all along. However, they did not have time to ponder on this new dilemma as they were attacked by the sound-nin from below. Kakashi blocked an attack on Sakura and told her to stay low for a moment. She watched in awe as the three jounin fought the sand and sound shinobi with such speed and, it seemed, ease. Kianna caught her eye in particular; she fought with such vigour and strength, yet had a strange elegance to her technique. Soon they were joined by more leaf shinobi, to help them, and the enemy's numbers were dwindled.
"Sakura" Kakashi yelled at her, after striking down an enemy, "I'm glad I taught you how to dispel the illusionary technique, you have strength in that area. Dispel the illusionary technique and wake up Naruto and Shikamaru. Naruto will probably rejoice, he hasn't done a mission in a long time.
"Mission?"
"Proceed with caution, it's an A-rank mission"
"Kakashi" Kianna shouted across the stands. She'd been listening in on their conversation, whilst defending herself. She raced over to face him.
"What are you doing, giving Genin an A-ranked mission?" Before he answered he struck down an opponent and threw them down, nearly hitting Sakura in the process.
"Sasuke went after Gaara and the others." He began, not knowing whether to look at Sakura or Kianna. He got out a Kunai ready to cut his finger.
"Sakura, wake up Naruto and Shikamaru and go after Sasuke." He cut his finger and beside him, Kianna gave him an 'I know you're doing the right thing, but I'm still not happy about it' look."You will be going in a platoon of four" He added
"Does that mean you or Kianna be coming with us Kakashi-sensei?"
"No, neither of us can leave this place." He stated, starting to make hand seals,
"Summoning technique!"
A strange, odd and small little dog appeared on a man's back, scratching it's ears.
"Pakkun here will track down Sasuke's scent for you."
"The other team mate is that doggy?!" Sakura asked, looking highly skeptical. Pakkun jumped up and stared straight into Sakura's face.
"Don't call me 'Cute doggy.'" Pakkun turned around. "Hey Kianna, long time no see."
Kianna just nodded her head, before blocking an attack.
"Sakura go wake up Naruto and Shikamaru" Kakashi said, annoyed he had to repeat it again. Sakura crawled up to the two Genin, quickly dispelling the technique from Naruto, but annoyed to find that Shikamaru was just pretending. Pakkun seemed to feel the same way, as he bit hard into his leg.
"OUCH!" He shook his leg trying to fling the creature off, but to no avail.
"Why were you pretending to be asleep?!" Sakura fumed
"I don't want to get involved!" He answered back, finally detaching the tiny dog from his leg.
"I am not doing this. I do not care about Sasuke" He started to play with the highly unamused dog's face, which decided to show his gratitude by blessing him with another bite on his hand.
"Ouch!"

"What's going on"
Naruto felt highly confused waking up in all this hullaballoo. He could see both Kakashi and Kianna fighting with other Shinobi. "Naruto, behind you!" Somebody yelled behind him. Before he could move a fast green blur prevented him from being slashed and smashed a sand-nin into the wall behind him. Both Kianna and Kakashi jumped front of the three genin. Kakashi explained their mission in full detail, and all four set off. Naruto was dragged by Saukra out of the hole and Pakkun had to drag a reluctant Shikamaru with his teeth.
"Will they be okay?" Kianna inquired, looking at Kakashi with an agonizing look on her face.
"If Pakkun stays with them, they'll be fine. As long as they don't pursue the enemy too far."
Kianna gave him a grateful nod, too anxious to speak.
"We need to worry about ourselves for now" He continued

"So Kakashi, Kianna. How many have you defeated so far?" Enquired Gai. They had been fighting for what seemed hours, but they all had the same vigour as before.
"22" Kakashi Lazily replied, completely disinterested.
"24" Kianna said, with an exasperated look in her eyes.
"Looks my victory again as expected against you Kakashi. I got 23 with the last one, but Kianna, love of my life, I knew you would beat me"
"Yes, yes, we all know you're great" Kakashi sighed.
"Oh man, how you react is cool. My rival!"
"Come on" Kianna moaned, fed up with Gai's arrogance.
"Alright" He replied, clearly syked.

Time passed and the battle between Sand, Sound and Leaf continued. Gai, Kakashi and Kianna had now begun to tire and their skin had many scratches and cuts to prove it.
"Not only is there sound...But I didn't expect so many Sand Jounins" Gasped Gai.
"I know" Answered Kakashi, covering Gai's back. "This IS a war, you know!" They continued to fight until every sand and sound shinobi was beaten in the seating area. Kianna gave the last one a great big kick, smashing them into a wall and joined the other leaf shinobi, who had become interested in the stadium's centre stage. There were a mass of dead bodies and the ground was beaten and sore.
"That's..." Gai mumbled distracting Kianna from a daze. She smiled...
"Finally, heh?" She heard Kakashi say beside her. The civilians had been evacuated and it was time for stage three, counterattack!

After everyone was evacuated, the leaf shinobi started to fight the enemies with everything they had. Soon it was over and the Sand and Sound-nin had retreated, with rumours that Orchimaru had been hurt badly. Kakashi spoke to a person that Kianna wasn't familiar with, Kabuto, who retreated just like Orchimaru. He spoke of Kakashi's Uchiha eye, insulting him, making him angry. Kianna saw his hand roll into a fist and it shook. Kianna clasped it and looked him in the eye
"Calm down" She spoke, her own voice steady as a rock.
He suddenly tugged his hand from hers, remembering he was supposed to be angry at her. She sighed, her hope that he had forgotten smashed. The ANBU forces came down to the stadium centre and summoned the jounin to the Hokage battleground. There, what they saw was the thing they feared the most. The Hokage's body lying lifeless on the cold, hard ground.
