Orochimaru and the others met in an area surrounded by four bushes. "Sasuke, you take the Hyuuga girl to the valley at the end. Listen, she's a member of the Akatsuki so I want her alive, could be valueable"saod Orochimaru. Hinata stood there with her hands bound in front of her, Tayuya holding her by the shoulders. She shoved Hinata forward, Hinata nearly falling on the ground but Sasuke caught her. "Let's go, and if you even think about running away I'll reopen that wound"threatened Sasuke. Sasuke kept a hand on her shoulder, both of them walking forward.
"Kabuto has informed me the village has sent a team after Sasuke and Hinata. Kill the rest but as I told you last night, Naruto is not to be touched. Whoever intercepts him, tell him where Sasuke is and let him go"said Orochimaru. "Yes sir"said Kamamiro.
Orochimaru dissapeared. "I hate that Sasuke kid! Bossing us around, we all know you could destroy him Kimamaro, why let him talk to us like that?"asked Jirobo. "Because Orochimaru desires him. Orochimaru's desire is mine as well"said Kimamaro. "Yeah well my desire is to kill those guys coming, so let's go"said Kidomaru.
Shikamaru and the others walked together, keeping their eyes open. "Hinata! Where are you?"yelled out Naruto. "Shut up idiot, the enemy will spot us"said Shikamaru. "I'm starting to really regret coming"thought Chouji. Shikamaru stopped, hearing a noise, putting an arm out signaling the others to. "Neiji"said Shikamaru. "On it. Byuakuguan!"
"What do you see?"asked Ten-ten. "There's five of them, one of them's close by, a kunoichi, but the others are spread out"said Neiji. "Come out and fight like a man!"yelled Naruto. "They found us allready"said Chouji panickedly. "I am ready, bring it on!"said Lee. Down from a tree Tayuya came down. "Who are you!"said Shikamaru. "Hey, blondie, you're Naruto right?"she asked. "Where's Hinata!"demanded Naruto. "Sasuke's taking her down to the Valley at the End. We won't stop you from pursuing however the rest of you better back off"said Tayuya. "Sasuke!"yelled Naruto rushing off.
"You made a stupid move. The four of them will pound you. I don't hit girls"said Shikamaru. Tayuya chuckled. "I should kill you for that remark, however I'll leave you with a warning:stay away!"said Tayuya. She began running away, thrusting a smoke bomb at them.
"Everybody, move out!"yelled Shikamaru, unable to see. "Perfect, they've split up!"thought Tayuya.
Lee ran off haphazardly, nearly tripping over a branch but leaped over it. "Ten-ten! Neiji! Where are you?"called out Lee. "He's not very smart"said a nasty voice. Rock Lee looked around. "Come out where I can see you!"demanded Lee.
Sakon leaped down, his other half within his body. "You don't look interesting"said Sakon. "Who are you!"demanded Lee. "Sakon of the Sound Five, the strongest of the sound five. Well, there is ONE who's stronger then me, but you won't have to worry about him"said Sakon.
"I am Rock Lee, taijutsu specialist!"said Lee. "Interesting, taijutsu. Let's see how good you are"said Sakon. Sakon sped forward, going for a punch but Lee sidestepped it, Sakon's eyes widening. "Leaf Whirlwind!"
Lee spun around and sent Sakon flying into a tree just a few feet away. Sakon snickered. "You'll entertain me"he said getting up. He dashed towards Lee again. "He's fast!"thought Lee. He barely managed to dodge Sakon's attacks, until he got a hand under Sakon's arm and thrust him over his head, Sakon bouncing off the tree, Lee going for and hitting another leaf whirlwind, knocking Sakon back down on the ground. "You can not defeat me"said Lee. Sakon snickered, getting up.
"We'll see"he said rushing for Lee again. He tried to slam his fist into Lee's head, Lee ducking behind him, Sakon chuckling. Another being simalar looking to Sakon came out of his back, Lee's eyes widening before he was kicked, his back slamming into a tree and Lee hitting the ground. Lee rubbed his back a bit, looking up at him. "What is that!"gasped Lee.
"My twin, Ukon. He xists within my body, able to come out temporarely at times. Even though he's attached to me, he has abilities and a mind of his own"said Sakon. Lee began to chuckle, standing up. "Eh?"asked Sakon.
"I, Rock Lee, handsome devil of the hidden leaf village, will defeat both of you in a death defying battle!"he said, giving a thumbs up and winking. "What an idiot"thought Sakon and Ukon simutaneously.
Ten-ten was also alone, traveling on tree branches. She took a break, sighing. "Allright, as long as I'm up here, no one shuld get the drop on me"she thought. "You're pretty smart hiding in the trees"said a voice, Ten-ten's eyes widening. She turned around, Kidomaru behind her. "Too bad I had the same idea little girl"he said, leaping to her brach and hitting a kick, Ten-ten hitting the ground roughly.
She groaned, pushing herself to her feet. "I'll end this quick"he thought, shooting an arrow out attached to a string of web. Ten-ten rolled out of the way, the arrow sticking into the ground. "Pretty fast"he thought. Ten-ten got on the string, rushing up towards him. She thrust a kunai at him, Kidomaro knocking it away, only for another to be coming for his heart. "It was in the shadow of the other"he thought laying back and ducking. However Ten-ten was allready standing above him, kicking him under the chin and knocking him off. Kidomaru now hit the ground.
"There, that should've hurt him"she thought. She held her sides, still hurt from the fall. However Kidomaru got up unphased. "No way!"gasped Ten-ten. "You can't hurt me that easily. My skin's stronger then normal shinobi, a weak kick and a small drop won't do anything to me"said Kidomaru. Ten-ten pulled the strings attached to her weapons, her kunai coming back to her.
"So I see you like long range combat too. Let's see who's better"said Kidomaru. "This is disasterous, he's not even hurt while my body's still stining"she thought.
Chouji fell to his knees, catching his breath from all the running. "Are you actualy a shinobi?"asked Tayuya stepping out. "It's her again"thought Chouji standing up. "Hmph, why do I have to be stuck with the weak opponent? Then again, I guess none of you are that good. The kunoichi in your village may do nothing but look pretty while your shinobi brag about their non-existent skill, however ninja like me and the rest of the Sound Five can back up what we say"said Tayuya. "Hey, we're not like that at all!"said Chouji. "Then prove it, lard ass"said Tayuya. This made Chouji mad. "I'm not fat, I'm just big boned! Pride to the big boned!"he said, growing into a large ball. "What kind of jutsu is that? I'll show you real power"she said taking her flute out.
She played the flute, three creatures coming out, one with covered eyes, one with covered ears and one with covered mouth. Chouji rolled forward, Tayuya continuing to play the flute. Chouji went for Tayuya, who simply jumped on the branch above her while playing. Chouji bounced up, only for one of the creatures to jump up, knocking it back down with hands shaped like a club. Chouji created a crater in the ground.
"Pathetic"she thought.
"Come on out"said Neiji, his Byuakaguan on. Kimimaro stepped out. "I see, another Hyuuga"said Kimimaro. "If Hinata has even a bruise on her I'll make you regret it. Cowards, I bet all five of you attacked her too"said Neiji. "I do not wish to kill you, but if you attempt to interfere I will"said Kimamaro. "Then get ready to fight! Byuakuguan!"
Kimimaro sighed, shooting a small bullet out of his finger. "Whirlwind!"
He deflected it and went forward, chakra flowing through his palm. He went for the chest but Kimimaro took a bone out, using it to knock Neiji's palm down. Neiji fell on his hands and kicked up, Kimimaro stepping back and then slamming down with his bone. Neiji dodged and quickly got in.
"2 palms!"he said, Kimimaro staggering back. "4 palms! 8 palms! 16 palms! 32 palms! 64 palms! 128 palms!"
Kimimaro fell down. "It's done"said Neiji. Kimimaro stood up easily. "What the!"thought Neiji. "Your palms can't hurt me"said Kimimaro, shooting another bone out of his finger, Neiji ducking, Kimimaro taking a bone from his arm, coming down but Neiji leaped back, Kimimaro throwing the bone at Neiji. He used the whirlwind again, knocking the bone away but the bone started coming back towards Neiji. "I see it!"thought Neiji, having to use whirlwind again to deflect it, Kimimaro throwing another bone. "It's useless!"said Neiji, hitting another whirlwind to knock it back, however the other bone slammed in his back. Neiji fell forward, face first on the ground.
"How? My Byukaguan should've seen it coming!"thought Neiji. "It seems your Byuakguan is not fully developed, and still has a blind spot, one degree that you still can't see"said Kimimaro. "Damn, a blind spot, and he knows where it is"thought Neiji.
Hinata was shoved forward, falling face first. She was ontop of a mountain, a large river down below. "Is this the place?"asked Hinata. "Yeah, but listen up. I'm going to cut you loose for a moment. One false move and I'll shove you down there, no matter how much Orochimaru may want you. Your chakra'sbeen absorbed by one of Kabuto's team maters, so you can't use your gentle fist or your Byuakaguan"said Sasuke. Hinata nodded, Sasuke using a kunai to cut Hinata's bonds.
