CHAPTER 5 – EXPLENATIONS

It took them five days to find any trace of Hunter, and when they did it wasn't what they expected. To them it seemed she was leaving a trail for them to follow. What they found sent even the strongest stomachs looking for a bush. Her mark was a brutally slain Sound Nin with a stake vertically through his body and vines wrapped all around him. Dried blood flowing through his eye sockets. Blood was covering his entire body and there was a Senbon needle right through his heart meaning an instant kill if she used it first.

Sakura was the first one to empty the contents of her stomach behind a bush, and when she came back she was very pale.

"I don't think I can handle this. If it happens again I might just faint" she stated rather faintly

No one even tried to tell her that a ninja must deal with things like this, because when they reached a little village Sasuke and Naruto were the next ones to find a bush, and Sakura did just what she said she was going to do, feint.

The entire village was destroyed and dead bodies were strewn about like pieces of trash. By the looks of things the village was used as a battleground. Akatsuki (missing ninjas) members were mixed with Sound ninjas and there were giant paw prints in the ground with bodies crushed and bloody.

So when Sasuke and Naruto got back from emptying their stomachs, Kakashi picked up Sakura and team 7 wolves left the village to make a camp in the forest. They were all equally tired when they stopped for the night. Sakura woke up when they were walking so Kakashi put her on the ground so he wouldn't have to carry her. So when they stopped, Kakashi realizing they weren't getting anywhere, walked over to Blaze to clarify some questions.

"I'm wondering" started Kakashi putting his hands in his pockets. Sakura and Naruto came over to stand with their sensei while Sasuke sat down and leaned on a tree.

"I'm wondering. What exactly makes Hunter so special" asked Kakashi looking a Blaze.

"Yea, Yea what also makes her so strong" exclaimed Naruto.

Blaze you could say was startled by both questions. He thought for a while to come up with a reasonable answer. So when he did he motioned Night and Lunar to come up beside him and to help explain things.

"Have you ever heard of the village called Fuugetsu? Well if you haven't it's a village filled with demons," stated Night as she spoke up first.

"Or of a village called Tsuchikami. It's filled with angels," added Lunar after Night spoke.

Kakashi thought for a while, 'A village that's filled with demons and a village filled with angels. No, Maybe'. Kakashi gave up a waited for an explanation.

Naruto, not knowing when to shut up exclaimed, "Hey that village, what's its name. Oh yea, Tsuchikami. Wasn't that name that one attack that she used to wipe out the rest of the sound ninjas"

Sasuke was about to hit Naruto over the head but he stopped himself when he remembered the name of her attack.

Sakura knew what village they were talking about and about the attack they were talking about. As a Haruno she knew all about the eternal war between demon and angel and their kind of magic. And how a demon and angel fell in love and had a child of extraordinary power.

Than it started to click in. Hunter was their child. The child of a demon and angel.

Sakura gave Blaze Lunar and Night a surprised look which if they interpreted it right would ask a question all on its own.

Night nodded her head, "You are correct Sakura. I wouldn't expect anything better from a Haruno. She was their child that could change the fate of the war"

Sasuke, Kakashi and Naruto gave Sakura a questioning look. Sakura, if she wasn't so curious would have told them to quit staring but she wanted some confirmation first.

"But those two are forbidden though. The demon race and the angel race are always at war. More so now than ever before but they still always hated each other"

"Hai and Iie. Iie because they were jealous of each other's power over the world. One to kill and the other to revive. Also they didn't really hate each other they just couldn't accept each other" answered Lunar.

"And hai because since they were always at war they didn't have time to think things over. Hunter was created to end the war," answered Night.

"And because she was born, she became the strongest person ever living. Demon and angel become one. The white hair, gold fox like eyes, sharp poisonous fangs and claws are her mark as a demon. While her attitude to the weak and defenseless, the power of her attacks and her healing powers to raise even the longest of the living dead are her mark as an angel" finished Blaze while walking away from the firelight.

Sasuke waited for a while to ask his question that he was sure would clear thing up for the rest of them that weren't following along, "What are you guys talking about"

'

Sakura, recovering first answered Sasuke herself, "Have you ever heard of the Immortal War" she asked looking at Sasuke and Kakashi, Naruto fell asleep so she didn't feel like explaining it to him. They both shook their head.

"Well basically it was a war between two immortals, the demons and the angels"

Sakura looked at Lunar to see if she could finish telling them. Lunar nodded and also moved away from the firelight.

"Anyway both side declared war on each other, but they weren't making any progress. Now both a demon and an angel were getting tired of seeing their friends and family dieing all around them and not winning. So they both left the war and eventually fell in love. So they walked away to find a quiet place to settle down and they had a child" she broke things off.

"To rap things up their child had extraordinary power, able to kill and revive people. Basically that child was me" stated Hunter coming into the light. "A demon who people and angel detest. And an angel who demons won't have anything to do with. Not welcome in heaven of hell".

"Hunter" the all yelled trying to get up and failing. Blaze and Kakashi were the only ones who managed to get up. Blaze with difficulty walked over to Hunter. But before he got there Kakashi beat him to it and gave her a big hug.

Blaze was furious but he didn't show it. 'How dare he hug my Hunter. I'll make him pay one day'

Night and Lunar didn't notice but spent the entire time struggling to their feet. Finally they catapulted themselves in her arms throwing Kakashi away from her.

"Guys I'm soaked in blood, and I stink. You shouldn't really give me a hug" Hunter wined while trying to get out of their grip.

It still didn't matter to them because the caught her up in a big hug anyway. They only let her go when they heard her gasp for breath. When the backed away from her Hunter fell to her knees holding her stomach with her forehead touching the ground.

"Hunter what's wrong" Blaze asked running over to her.

Before Hunter could answer she blacked out leaving one word that chilled everyone right to the bones, "Orochimaru"
