"KASHINI PUT UP THE BARRIER NOW!"
Sakura screamed while collecting chakra into her fist, if she could get this man down before he got close enough Kashinis keke genkai should kick in and no one could penetrate it.
'Right!
I have to get the correct amount of stability, focus it to one point, and'
"SHARANNO!"
Sakura screamed as she punched a section of the floor causing the earth to rattle, shriek, and eventually break into a thousand pieces. The man charging with his katana quickly halted and jumped back towards the other avoiding the rubble and debris.
"Bitch!" He screamed as he landed next to Kira.
Kira laughed and placed his hand on the man's shoulder.
"Jokuo, did you honestly expect hidden leaf jounin to not put up a well rounded fight?"
He looked at all the other members who agreed and joined him in laugher. Each member began pulling out weapons, shuriken's, kunai's, paper bombs. The men pulled them all out and laughed. Then they did something unexpected. They dropped them.
'Kashini needs 3 minutes before her barrier can be formed, it's only been one. The whole time she's preparing her barrier her two hands have to be pressed together with her eyes shut tight, she's walking bait to them, open to all attack.'
Sakura tightened her grip on her kunai looking at all the men before her. They seemed to take this was some joke.
"...the hell?" Daisuke asked while slowly standing straight lowering his kunai ever so slightly.
"DAISKUE! We are still on a mission! Don't lower your guard for an instant!" Sakura screamed walking over slowly in front of Kashini to protect her.
"Right...sorry Sakura-Chan," Daisuke apologized as he quickly returned to his defence stance.
"Well boys, you know what you got to do. Oh and I would like a bit of a performance so, take your time, torture if you can." Myrui smiled as he looked around at all his men and then gazing towards Sakura.
"But...Kira, I want you to finish off that spunky pink haired kunochi, that will be a show!" Myrui laughed as he made his way towards a large bolder. Once he sat down on the bolder he smiled at his men.
"You may begin."
Sakura looked back at the men who started almost giggling.
"CHARGE!"
"KASHINI!" Sakura screamed pleading for Kashini's keke genkai to activate.
Kashini's eyes shot open, she looked at the men coming towards her, then to Sakura. Fear growing even more dominant in her eyes.
"Ey Sasuke, we have guard duty again! Hurry up!" Naruto bellowed as he banged on the Uchichas house door.
Sasuke sighed from the other side and put his coffee cup into the sink. Grumbling as he made his way towards the door he opened it to see Naruto in his ANBU uniform, the large fox mask staring him back in the face.
"Morning Sasuke ready?"
Sasuke sighed and pulled his cat mask over his face. Once it was secure he nodded and walked out of the Uchicha compound listening to Naruto rant and rave about Hinata.
"...I mean she's two weeks till due date! And we still haven't decided on a name! Can you believe it, but I'm not sure if it's a girl or a boy. Whatever you're going to be the godfather so you have to get the baby good gifts."
Sasuke sighed,
'Will this idiot ever shut up!'
Sasuke looked at the clock, only 30 more minutes, and then he would be relived. He'd go home, clean up and head to the gate to see Sakura for the first time, since the incident and fix it all up...hopefully.
Sasuke stared blankly straight ahead at the hokage monument, he quickly tensed up. Sensing an oncoming Chakra source he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a kunai, the replacements wouldn't come this early.
"Naruto, shut up, someone's coming." Sasuke stood in a defensive pose waiting till the unknown shinobi would show himself.
A swirl of smoke and leafs appeared in front of Sasuke and Naruto and after clearing stood another ANBU with a mouse mask. He bowed to Naruto and Sasuke and handed them a scroll.
"Fox-san, Cat-san, all ANBU are to report to the hokages office immediately, something urgent has occurred."
Naruto and Sasuke nodded and began running towards the hokages before the new ANBU had disappeared.
'What could have happened?' Sasuke puzzled as he looked straight ahead at his destination, whatever it was, it was something important.
Running through the hokages doors, Naruto and Sasuke were surprised to see 10 other ANBU along with 3 medic's.
Tsunade turned around on her chair facing all the ANBU in front of her. Her eyes were somewhat red, and she held a bottle of Sake in her hand, had she been crying?
"Good...your all here." Tsunade sniffled and slammed down her Sake bottle standing to her feet.
"3 Days ago I sent a 3 man squad of jounin to find and assassinate a group of bandits known as the night crawlers. All members are highly skilled and extremely dangerous. We had a reliable tip that 2 of the members would be visiting a nearby village for business agreements, and those tips were right. The two members did in fact show up, but so did 5 others. The entire group of the night bandits are at this village as we speak taking on 3 jounin. They requested back up a few hours ago which we responded too, however, of the 8 jounin we sent, 1 made it back. His injuries were so bad but he informed us, a member of the night bandits found and attacked them." Tsunade turned around from the others in the room and walked over to the window.
Something was up but Sasuke couldn't put his finger on it, why was she so upset?
His heart shattered instantly, Sakura...
'Wait I don't even know what mission it was that she was sent on. It might not have been this one.'
Sasuke looked at Tsunade, however Sakura was the only one who could make Tsunade cry.
'No, I won't believe it, Sakura was sent on a B mission, this is now an S-classed mission, there's no way.'
"Lady Hokage?" A nervous medic spoke from the corner. Tsunade looked over at the medic and raised her eyebrow.
"Who are the three jounin currently fighting the group?"
Tsunade sighed and punched the wall lightly.
"Kashini Inuzaku, Daisuke Kazeman, and...Sakura Haruno."
'NOOOOOOO!' Sasuke mentally screamed,
'If this group is as dangerous as she says, there's no way she can win.'
"It's your mission to help the jounin and kill each and every individual of the night crawlers, understood!"
The entire room filled with mumbles of yes. Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose and then slowly turned to stare at two ANBU. The man in the fox mask and the man in the cat mask, pleading them to bring her back.
"THEN GO!"
Sasuke was the first to leave the room running the fastest he's ever before in his life.
Once outside the hokage building he focused chakra to the bottom of his feet and sprung towards a roof and sprint off, leaving all the other ANBU trailing after him.
'SAKURA! HOLD ON THERE! I'M COMMING!' Sasuke mentally screamed as he ran faster and faster.
"Fox-san!" someone screamed
Sasuke didn't need to turn around, he knew it was Naruto. Once Naruto was caught up close enough to Sasuke and out of ears distance he whispered.
"Sasuke cool it! You're going to blow your cover!"
"No, If I had stayed and continued following her, and didn't fight with her, I could be there RIGHT NOW protecting her!" He bellowed to Naruto as he began increasing his speed once again.
"WAIT!" Naruto screamed as he watched Sasuke disappear in a group of trees.
"Man he's fast." He whispered under his breath.
"Sakura-Chan, hold on!"
"Sakura...I...I can't form the barrier!" Kashini screamed as a man came closer towards them starting on his hand signs.
Sakura's eye's shot open
"WHAT!"
She screamed as she punched the ground causing the men to split into groups and jump back.
"My keke genkai, It's not responding, I can't create a barrier!"
Kashini cried as she pulled out her katana and ran to Sakura's left, Daisuke following to Sakura's right.
Sakura sighed heavily, and turned to Daisuke.
"GO!" She bellowed in his face.
Daisuke grinned and began his hand signs.
"Night of a million dreams!" Daisuke screamed staring straight ahead at two men. Both men instantly fell to the floor screaming in pain clutching their heads.
"NOW KASHINI!" Sakura screamed as she ran over to the two men to finish them off when they were down.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING PINKY?" One of the men called followed by a "TWIN WATER DRAGONS."
Sakura stopped running and smirked, "Kashini, finish them off." She stated calmly as Kashini ran behind her towards the two men, while Sakura began running through hand signs.
"CHERRY BLOSOM FIRE!" Sakura screamed as she leaned back swallowing air, leaning forward she blew into her hand, as thousands cherry blossoms flew out transforming into fire stakes in mid-air hitting both the ninjustu, but also the shinobi.
"AGH!" Kashini screamed as she brought down her Katana decapitating the other fallen shinobi.
"3 down 4 to go!" Daisuke screamed releasing his genjustu.
"RIGHT! Kashini move in-" Sakura began
"SAKURA-CHAN LOOK OUT!" Daisuke bellowed running towards Sakura his hand outstretched.
She couldn't move, he was two close,
"Bye-Bye princess!" The man screamed as he swung down his Kubikiri Houcho"AHH!" Kashini screamed as blood spatted everywhere.
"Hit!" The man laughed.
A/N: Sorry I'm brutal at writing fight scenes and the Sakura's and Daisuke's jujtsu's I made those up so they kinda sound demented ;P. Anyways a Kubikiri Houcho is like basically a really big sword, like the one zabuza used. I couldn't think of any other weapons. So enjoy this cliff hanger. Next chapter is the most exciting...in my opinion anyways ^.^
Thanks remember to review. :D
