The Reason She Couldn't
"Taiyounami..."
She opened her eyes, she was lying on what looked like a large cement platform.
Looking up she saw a clear blue sky...but no sun.
Scratching her head, she turned and gasped.
Her grandma was walking up to her, wearing a white cloak; she had blue eyes.
"Grandma? Am I dead?"
She smiled, "No, my dear, you're not. I put you in this dream like state because it is time I revealed everything to you."
XXXXXXX
Everyone was in position.
They removed them all at the same time.
The barrier went down; Shikamaru, Ino and Choji prepared themselves as everyone else was returning.
XXXXXXXX
"Reveal what?"
"The true reason why Hanone could never kill you."
XXXXXX
"Anything?" Naruto asked when he returned.
"Nothing yet." Shikamaru answered.
"It looks like he's the only one in there. I can't see anyone else." Neji said.
"Okay...let's go." Naruto said.
XXXXXXX
"I thought she was too tired from using that genjutsu move on me."
"No...there was something about you that she could never best."
"What was that?"
"You are what the sages of our village called ametsuchi seigyoki."
"So...what does that mean about me?"
"It means you are one of the rare people in history born with an almost impossible amount and type of chakra. If you practiced at it, you would be able to do things like shooting lightning from your fingertips, or manipulating the wood from trees to protect you."
"Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I thought that if you knew that you had that much power, you would turn back to your quest to kill your sister, and I didn't want you to live that life. That's why I've trained you the way I have."
"So then, that explains why I could use the petal barrage so easily?"
"Precisely. However, I knew it was inevitable that you would find out, so that's why I tought you the technique that helps you take other's chakra."
XXXXXXXX
They made their way down the stairs and burst through the door.
"Orochimaru! Give Bara back!" Naruto yelled.
"I don't know who you're talking about." Orochimaru said pressing a button.
Snakes burst through the walls, constricting everyone.
Orochimaru laughed, "That was all too easy. And now Sasuke, it's time for you to give me what I want."
XXXXXXXX
"That's all that must be said at this moment. It's time for you to wake up and help your friends."
"But...how do I do this?"
"My dear, I've taught you how to control and focus your chakra, you can do the rest. Now go! Orochimaru has them between his scales."
XXXXXXXX
Orochimaru made his way towards Sasuke, a victorious smile etched across his face.
There was a bright light, a flash of pretty colors, and Orochimaru flew into the wall.
Everyone turned to see Taiyounami, body crackling with electricity, her sharingan blazing.
"Don't...touch...my friends." she said dangerously.
Orochimaru rose, laughing. "So, you finally wake? I was wondering when you would or not-"
Taiyounami was behind Orochimaru, and kicked him in the face.
Before he hit the wall she appeared in front of him and slammed him on the ground.
As he rose he saw the electricity forming in her hands.
Her chakra...so strong!
She focused all that electric energy to her right hand, and shot it at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru screamed in pain as he smashed into a wall.
Fire on her hands and feet, she spun around twice, jumped in the air, then punched the ground when she came down.
A radial wave of fire spread throughout the room, burning off the snakes and burning Orochimaru.
"All right Taiyounami!" Ino yelled happily.
"This...isn't over..." Orochimaru said weakly.
