Hidden by the Fox

Chapter 14: Red Eyes, White Eyes, and Air Tubes

The guide has this to say on the Legendary Senin: They are three powerful ninja that emerged from the Leaf and were trained by the 3rd Hokage himself. They are the Super Pervert Jiraiya, the Great Drinker Orochimaru, and the Legendary Sucker Tsunade. They are also an amusing representation of the three deadly sins of ninja- alcohol, money, and women. Jiraiya is a mega pervert, and he regularly gets the crap beaten out of himself, for pursuing that hobby. Tsunade is a chronic gambler and a bad one at that. Orochimaru is actually a closet drinker, though he tries not to let anyone know.

Jiraiya now wanders between the Leaf, where he tries to show-up Orochimaru and spies on the hot springs, and the Fox, where he sees his student Arashi and spies on the hot springs. Orochimaru is Hokage of the Leaf and is too often caught up in his search for power to notice anything else. Tsunade wanders throughout the lands blowing her money at casinos, smashing up pubs, and hiding from debt collectors.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Haku applied some poison to his sebon, while whistling an annoying tune.

"What type of poison is that?" Sasuke asked, trying very hard no to be annoyed by Haku's whistling.

"Paralysis poison, it is a very potent brew. So, be careful around my sebon," Haku warned.

"We better get going," Kimimaro suggested. "We need to find at least two bone tubes. If worst comes to worse we can ambush a team as they head for the outpost."

The six Genin made their way through the jungle. As they leaped from tree to tree, Hinata called out, "I see a tube down there!"

"It will be bad if we get ambushed here," Haku thought. "There are no puddles, ponds, or rivers I can draw water from."

Naruto made two shadow clones which tore through the bush. Suddenly, one of the shadow clones tripped a trap. A hail of kunai rained down on the tube. The clones managed to toss it to Naruto before they disappeared.

"That was easy," Naruto remarked, surprised.

"Hellish Inferno Jutsu!"

Flames surrounded Team 5. Gaara threw up his dome of sand around his team mates as the flames advanced on them. The dome glowed white as the flames heated up the sand.

Inside Haku was using his bloodline to counter the intense heat that was turning the dome into an oven. The sand suddenly began to melt as the heat turned it into molten glass. In response, Gaara flung the dome outwards sending molten glass flying everywhere. Sand rose from the ground and smothered the remaining flames.

"I told you the heat wouldn't kill them," Kaimaru told Shisha, as the leaf team jumped out of the jungle.

"Shut up," she spat.

"Heh, this will, finish them" Zaku said. "Decapitating Air Wave Jutsu!"

A huge blast of ultrasonic sound emanated from Zaku's hands. Gaara's dome of sand was raised just in time to intercept the sonic blast. The blast blew the sand dome to pieces, leaving a shocked Gaara in its wake.

"Heh, with these babies I can shatter boulders. This is the jutsu of the future," Zaku taunted, revealing the two air holes in his hands.

"Damnit! Split up!" Haku ordered. "We can take them on two on one!"

Gaara's sand formed into a claw and closed in on Zaku. Zaku blasted the claw away, only to have several sebon zip by his hand. Haku fired needles at the Leaf-nin, and Gaara kept raising his barrier of sand to intercept any sound blasts that headed for them.

Finally, a stray sebon needle hit Zaku in the hand. Zaku's hand seized up and fell limp. "What the, hell!" he yelled. "What did you do to me!"

"The needles are coated with a powerful paralysis poison," Haku explained. "It paralyzes both your muscles and your chakra system. That hand will be useless for awhile."

Zaku growled. "Decapitating Air Wave Jutsu!"

Gaara barely had time to raise his sand shield.

Naruto, with Hinata, found himself fighting Kaimaru.

"Let's see how well the Namikage's son and a traitor Hyuuga fight," Kaimaru said, calmly sliding into the Jyuuken stance.

"Oh yeah! Take this!" Naruto yelled. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

At least 65 shadow clones poofed into existence around Kaimaru, who smirked in response. "64 Hands of Hatake!" Kaimaru's form blurred as he simultaneously struck all of the shadow clones, leaving a surprised Naruto.

"Damn! I didn't know you could use that technique to hit multiple opponents," Naruto swore. "Lightning Bolt Jutsu!" A giant arc of lightning jumped from Naruto's hand and struck the shocked Kaimaru.

The shock from the bolt knocked Kaimaru off his feet. That allowed Hinata to engage him in a taijutsu fight. She managed to disable his left leg, and cut several of the tendons in his torso, before Kaimaru hit her with vicious Jyuuken strikes to the lungs and heart. Hinata coughed up blood and her breathing became irregular. She managed to stabilize her heartbeat and lungs before she passed out.

"That was pathetic," Kaimaru spat out, winching as he tired to move his chest.

Meanwhile, Kimimaro and Sasuke had engaged Shisha in a Taijutsu/Ninjutsu battle.

"Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled, as he attempted to blast Shisha.

Shisha, her three-tomoe sharingan active, dodged the blast and twisted in mid-air to avoid a slash from Kimimaro. "Fire Clone!" Five clones of Shisha appeared. One attempted to grab onto Kimimaro from behind, two started to engage Kimimaro, and the rest attacked Sasuke.

Kimimaro shoot some bones out of his back and impaled one of the clones, which vanished in a flash of flame. "Dance of the Clematis Flower!" A large drill made of bone formed around his hand. He promptly impaled one clone, the fire blackening the bone, and swung towards the other. The clone dodged and kicked Kimimaro in the stomach, burning the bone wielder. Bones erupted from Kimimaro's chest and skewered the fire clone. He then saw Shisha engage Sasuke and went to help his team mate.

Authors Note: Well I hope this fight scene is better than the earlier ones I have produced.

I would love to know what I can do to make my fight scenes better.

P.S. Sorry for the delay I got sick and wasn't able to write for a bit. Plus I have two essays due for school, Urg.
