Lee dodged the two punches but Sakon hit with a kick that knocked him back. "I thought you said you were going to beat me! I'm waiting!"said Sakon. He simply stood as Lee got himself to his feet. "This is not what I had expected. He is stronger then I thought"thought Lee. Sakon rushed towards him. "Leaf whirlwind!"
He knocked Sakon back, who landed on his feet, rushing forward and elbowing him back. Lee skidded back. Sakon coming at him, Lee blocking his punches and kicks barelt attempting to retaliate with a kick of his own but Ukon's arms came out, grabbing Lee's leg and allowing Sakon to elbow him. Lee bounced off the ground via his back, getting back to his feet, attempting to sweep Sakon as he came but Sakon leaped up, Ukon coming out as Lee got up, both landing a punch, with the punches in a straight Line with Lee's chest in the middle. Ukon got back in Sakon.
Lee fell face first. "He's almost done, when he gets up, I'll come back out and the two of us will finish him"said Ukon. "Sure, I suppose this has gone on long enough"said Sakon. "Sorry Gai sensei, but there is only one way I can possibly defeat those two"thought Lee standing back up. "Good, I was worrying I would have to wait quite awhile before you got back up"said Sakon. Ukon came out. "Let's finish him off!"said Ukon.
Sakon and Ukon got ready to charge back at Lee. Lee took out the weights from undr his clothing, dropping them, causing a huge impact. "What the!"thought Sakon. The smome cleared, Lee standing in wait. "Let's hurry up"said Ukon. Both charged at him, moving to opposite sides and coming towards Lee, who him them both in the face with a kick. They both fell back, Lee hitting Ukon with a barrage of punches and kicks before knocking him away. Sakon came from behind, Lee ducking and kicking him upward. "Here we go again!"thought Lee jumping up below him, wrapping him in bandages. "Primary lotus!"
Lee drove Sakon into the ground, the impact even greater, enough to break Sakon's neck. "N, no"said Ukon weakly. "I take it you won't last long outside his body"said Lee. "Damn you to hell"
Kidomaru and Temari stared down, Ten-ten watching helplessly from the sideline. "This will be too easy"thought Kidomaru. Kidomaru shot out another arrow, Temari blowing it away, another arrow coming from behind. Ten-ten was about to warn Temari, who ducked it, then blew it towards Kidomaru.
Kidmoaru just barely sidestepped it, Temari chucking the end of her fan at Kidomaru, hitting him in the face. Kidomaru fell back, Temari taking her fan back. "She's beating him like nothing. As much as I hate to admit, she's a far superior ninja to me, it's up to her to beat him"thought Ten-ten.
Kidomaru got back up. "Stupid girl, you think you can make me look bad? I'm one of the Sound Five, Orochimaru's personal squad of elite genin. I'll show you my ultimate power, Cursed Seal level 2!"
His muscles enlarged, his hair becoming white. "What the!"gasped Ten-ten. "So he looks different, big deal"said Temari. Temari shot another gust of wind, Kidomaru simply leaping up on a tree branch. "Now we'll see how good you really are"thought Kidomaru. 3 arrows suddenly shot out from 3 different directions. Temari quickly blew them away, even more coming towards her. "Where are they all coming from?"she thought, even more coming. "She can't just blow them away forever"thought Ten-ten. While she was blocking them off, Kidomaru had a bown and arrow.
Even more arrows were coming out. "I'll take them all out! Wind Scythe Jutsu!"
An intense vortex of wind came out, slicing all of the arrows, Kidomaru launching a bigger arrow. "Temari, look out!"yelled Ten-ten. It was too late, the arrow punctured her kidney, Temari falling face first. "NO!"yelled Ten-ten. Kidomaru launced another barrage of arrows, all of them going into Temari's back, Temari crying out loudly in agony.
"Are you allright? Temari?"asked Ten-ten. "Just gag yourself"said Temari between clenched teeth. "There's no way she can stand back up"thought Kidomaru. However to his shock, Temari just barely, bleeding and all, got back to her feet.
"I'll finish this quick"said Kidomaru, pulling back another arrow. "I can't dodge any more attacks, and I won't be able to stand back up from another attack, looks like I'll have to get out the big guns"she thought making hand signs.
"Summoning jutsu! Kamatari, come out!"
Wind shot out and formed into a weasel like creature. It quickly cut down all the trees around, including the one Kidomaru was on, forcing him to jump out. "Gotchya! Wind Scythe jutsu!"
Both the weasel and the Wind Scythe came together, cutting through Kidomaru. He fell to the ground bleeding heavily, and instantly died. "Flushed a lot of chakra on that one but it was worth it"said Temari. "Do you have enough to free me? There's no way you'll make it out alone"said Ten-ten. Temari took out a kunai, stabbing through the end of the web holding down Ten-ten's left hand. "You do the rest"said Temari falling back down. "I owe you"thought Ten-ten.
Chouji was blasted through a tree from a feroucis punch from Jirobo, Shikamaru grabbed around the throat by Tayuya and tossed on top of him. "They're too strong, especialy the girl, she can break my jutsu! Still, I have to try one more time"he thought. He got up, Chouji sitting up. "I'm going to bind them both, it'll only hold for a moment so bulldoze them both quickly"said Shikamaru. "Got it! Meat tank jutsu!"said Shikamaru. "Fool"thought Tayuya, both her and Jirobo walking towards them. "Gotchya!"said Shikamaru, both of them so close he managed to bind them in his shadow quickly, Chouji coming towards them. The three creatures came out, stopping Chouji. "Them again!"thought Shikamaru, Tayuya breaking the shadow.
Chouji was tossed back. "We're dead!"thought Shikamaru, Jirobo punching him back. "You kill them lardass"said Tayuya. "I should kill you for that"said Jirobo. From behind, both were consumed in an odd gas. "What the!"gasped Tayuya. Shikamaru and Chouji were dragged away, as the poison consumed and killed Tayuya and Jirobo.
Shikamaru looked up. "Kankuro?"asked Shikamaru. "Don't mention it"he said.
Neiji just barely dodged Kimimaro's lunges towards him. Kimimaro leaped up, landing behind Neiji, who turned around, Kimimaro hitting him with a gigantic bone, driving Neiji into the ground and making a crater.
Kimimaro made a much sharper bone, driving it down towards Neiji, when a burrier of sand popped out, blocking it. Both Neiji and Kimimaro gasped, Kimimaro looking over to see Gaara. "Who are you!"yelled Kimimaro. "None of your buisness"said Gaara. Sand burst out, encasing Kimimaro in sand from neck to toe. "Sand coffin!"
He crushed Kimimaro's body, blood spurting out, but Kimimaro broke free, another sharp bone driving towards Gaara, who put up another sand shield, the impact of the bone knocking Gaara back. Gaara just barely blocked another bone strike, Neiji getting up, chakra focused into his palm as he shot up, hitting Kimimaro in the chest, Kimimaro spitting out more blood, Neiji spinning around and hitting another palm before Kimimaro slammed him down with his hand.
A wave of sand came towards Kimimaro, Kimimaro launching a wave of sharp bones that cut through it. "Grr"growled Gaara, the bones coming towards him. He blocked with another burrier of sand, the bones beginning to push through, Neiji still held down by Kimimaro's hand. The bones tore through, Gaara unable to block again. However the bones stopped inches from his face, Kimimaro coughing up a lot more blood before falling face first.
Gaara walked over towards Neiji, looking down at him. "I knew it"said Neiji. Gaara turned and walked away.
"My part's done"
Naruto rushed ahead. "I think this is the place"he said, seeing a light outside the branches and bushes ahead. He stopped just before it, stopping himself from tripping over a branch, walking out. "Naruto, perfect. Guess they CAN listen"said Sasuke, standing before him. Hinata laid to the side of Sasuke, her wrists binded behind her back, with rope around her midsection that pinned her arms to her side. Her ankles were binded as well, a piece of cloth pulled behind her teeth. "Vrto"she said. "Hinata!"said naruto going towards her, but Sasuke thrust a kunai down right before Naruto.
"So, it is true. You sold yourself out to orochimaru! You and your pals kidnapped Hinata"said Naruto. "Her parts done. I needed her because I knew you'd come running for her. I don't want to even see Sakura again, and Neiji would've been too much trouble, Hinata however was just what we needed. From here on, what happens to her means nothing to me. However I won't allow her to interfere in our fight, and it'll be awhile before her chakra recovers enough for her to free herself"said Sasuke.
Naruto growled. "We were your friends Sasuke. Not just me, but Kakashi, Sakura, and for a short time, Hinata. You threw it all away, why!"demanded Naruto. "My goal, is to kill my brother. That goal is more important then your petty friendship, more important then the village, even more important then my own life. That's why you will lose, because you don't have enough hate. You care for her, you care for the village. As long as you do, you can never beat me"said Sasuke. Naruto's fists clenched. "Sakura, I'm sorry but I have to do this"thought Naruto.
Naruto stepped forward. "It was bound to happen. Let's find out once and for all"said Sasuke.
