Chapter Five: I'll Be Your Opponent

"ALL RIGHT! HERE I COME!" Naruto screams and takes off towards Angel.

Naruto brings back his fist and it looks like he is going to land his hit and then nothing. "Huh?"

A tap to his shoulder causes him to turn around, just to meet up with nothing. A flash of brown and white cause him to turn to the right.

"ARGH! Where is she? Can she really be that fast?"

"Naruto, do not let your emotions get in the way. They will cloud your judgment." Angel's calm voice echoes in his ears. Naruto turns again but this time Angel is in slight.

"She's so fast!" Ino gasps. "Maybe even faster than Lee-san or Sasuke-kun?"

"Byakugan(1a)!" Hinata and Neji shout together.

"Sharingan(2a)!" Sasuke shouts.

'So, she's that fast. Humph. They had to activate their Kekkei genkai(3a) to watch her. This is proving to be quite entertaining.' Tsunade thinks with a smirk on her face.

Angel stands looking at Naruto, her right hand making it's way towards the circular weapon she wears.

"Lets remove some temptation, shall we?" And in a blink of an eye the circular weapon is sent flying into a tree. After that she removes her staff and tosses it to Sakura. "Please, hold on to that for me."

"Ah? Sure, Angel-chan." Sakura nods. Sakura examines the weapon she now holds. It is so light, Sakura couldn't understand how it could be a weapon. It would break so easily, especially since it is nothing more than wood.

"Naruto?" Angel's voice has a tone to it, sounding almost mocking. "Are you done toying with me?"

"Huh?" Naruto looks shock but his foxy grin quickly replaces it. "So, you can tell I was holding back?"

"I may not be a ninja, but I am a train warrior. Lets see if you can land a punch." Angel smiles.

'This might just be exciting.'

"HUH! I'll show you!" Naruto yells and charges after Angel. With every punch or kick he throws at her, she dodges easily. To everyone watching it looks like she is merely dancing. Weaving in and out of the random blows that were being sent in her direction.

A couple of times Angel's hair brushed across Naruto's skin and he couldn't help but shutter with excitement, but it was a distraction and he needed to concentrate.

"She's not using any chakra." Neji states out loud.

"How is she moving that fast then?" Ten-Ten asks.

"She's not like us," Kakashi appears in a cloud of smoke. "She … let's say… is different."

"How so?" Shino inquires.

"That's not for me to tell." Kakashi yawns. He props himself up against a tree and watches the fight.

"Alright! That's it! Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (4a)" Naruto yells and two thousand other Naruto's appear.

Angel stops and looks around. "Now this is interesting."

She smiles, as the first wave of Naruto's come running towards her. Angel steps aside and shouts, "Ram en' ondo(1)!"

The ground before her rose, creating a stone wall that blocked the on coming assault. The Naruto's stop dead in there tracks.

"DAMN IT!" They shout in unison. The real Naruto clenches his fist until his knuckles turn white. He had a hard time fighting Angel. She saved his life and a small part of him found her attractive, so how could he put his heart fully into this fight. A loud growl vibrated in his chest as his aggravation increased.

"Naruto! Frustration leads to defeat!" Angel shouts from the other side of the wall. Angel heard Naruto's growl as clearly as if he was right next to her, but he is a least a hundred yards away to her right. She doesn't want him to be distracted, he needs to put his feelings aside and put his heart into this fight.

"You are sounding more like a Sensei than an opponent!" Naruto yells at the wall.

"She didn't build up any chakra or do any hand signs! How is this at all possible?" Kiba growls. He is not liking this one bit. His instincts were telling him that this Angel woman is not one to mess with.

"When we first met her," Sakura breaks in, "she said she is from the world of magic. It's close to the chakra we use but she doesn't have to build anything up. The way she explained it to me, she is in tune with the environment and that allows her to do things that we could only dream of."

Gaara listens as Sakura speaks. There is something about this woman, something that is appealing. No, those thoughts were quickly dismissed. No it has to be her power, she has to be the strongest woman he has ever seen. Sakura is strong and well skilled; Temari is in no way weak, she is cunning and quick on her feet; Ten-Ten is amazing when it comes to weaponry, and her fighting skills are nothing to laugh at; even the shy Hinata is no one to mess with, after all, she is the heiress to one of the most powerful clans in all of the ninja nations; and of course Ino, she may not look it but underneath that look obsessed attitude she has, there is a powerful Kunoichi.

But this Angel woman, there is something more. Not only has she appeared during his mediations but she just happens to be in Konoha. 'Curious.'

"So why are we fighting her? If she is as powerful as you say she is, then we are no match for her!" Shikamaru broke in.

"I am testing her." Tsunade states. "She can prove to be an amazing ally to both our villages, right Kazekage-sama?"

"Hn." Gaara nods.

"Stop hiding behind your wall and fight me!" Naruto shouts and his clones nod in agreement.

"As you wish." Angel says mockingly. Angel punches the wall, turning it to rubble. "Lets go."

In a flash Angel is being attacked by the clones. Each punch she blocked. Each kick she countered. One after another the clones are disappearing in puffs of smoke. Angel has a fierce smile on her face. It has been years since she enjoyed a fight this much. It is not a life or death situation, it is a friendly match between two friends. She is enjoying herself.

Angel's head snaps up when she feels a sudden build up a energy. She turns her head to the left and sees two Naruto's. One standing with his right hand out and the other circling his hands around it. The more the clone circled it's hands around Naruto's the more the energy built up. It continues for a few more seconds before Angel could see an orb form in Naruto's hand. '

This could be trouble…'

"Fuuton: Rasengan(5a)!" Naruto yells throwing the swirling sphere at Angel.

Angel raises her hand and cries out, "Ram en' templa(2)!"

The swirling ball of energy stops before her hand. Angel pulls the hand that holds the sphere of energy back and with as much force as she could, throws it back towards Naruto.

"EH! How did you…" Naruto dodges and is about to attempt another clone replication but is cut off. "Kage…"

"ALRIGHT! ENOUGH!" Tsunade yells. "Naruto you may step down. Next up, Sakura!"

Naruto is about to protest but Sakura pushes him aside. "Ready Angel-chan?" Sakura smiles as she put on her black gloves.

Angel nods and falls into her fighting stance.

"BEGIN!" Tsunade calls out.

"It's not fair! Just when things were getting interesting!" Naruto cries. "Why? Why did you stop the match?"

"Angel stopped one of your most powerful attacks with her own hand. And not only that! She threw it back at you like it was nothing." Tsunade commented. "There was nothing more to see from your fight."

"Hn." Gaara nods. 'If this woman is powerful enough to stop Naruto's Rasengan(6a) I wonder how I would fair against her. Could she be more powerful than me?'

Naruto sighed in defeat but snaps back up with his fist held out in front of him. "Sakura-chan! Show Angel-chan what you can do!"

Sakura builds up the chakra into her fist and slams it into the ground causing it to break and rise. Angel jumps and flips to get out of the way of the imploding ground.

"You are strong Sakura-chan," Angel smiles. "But you are not only that, are you?"

Sakura smirks. "No."

"Then show me what you can do." Angel calls and this time, unlike with Naruto, she went after Sakura. Sakura did a combination of hand signs and two clones appeared.

"You cannot fool me with these tricks. I can smell you!" Angel cried out and threw a punch to the real Sakura. Sakura dodges easily.

'Is she holding back? Naruto couldn't hand a punch on her so how did I dodge her attack.'

'She's mocking us! She thinks we are weak and is holding back! ERR! She's going to pay for this!'

'No… she has a reason for doing this.' Sakura thought.

"So, simple tricks won't work huh?" Sakura says mockingly. Sakura grabs a bunch of kunai from her pouch. "Well let's see how you handle this! Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu(7a)!" Sakura throws multiple kunai at Angel, whom dodges them easily.

Once Angel dodges all the kunai she turns to look at Sakura.

'She is smiling. That means she did something when she threw those kunai. But what?'

A faint buzzing sound catches Angel's attention. 'I see.'

Just before the explosive tags were about to explode Angel shouts, "Lema ed' templa(3)!"

She glows a light shade of pink but no one saw what happened next because the tags started to explode.

Everyone watches in shock.

"NO WAY!" Naruto shouts. He couldn't believe that Angel could get caught in such a trap.

Sakura watches the explosions, proud that she caught Angel. But her celebration is cut short when a familiar calm voice speaks up from behind her.

"Not bad Sakura-chan. You made me actually have to think."

"You made it out!" Sakura was caught off guard. No, she wasn't really planning on hurting Angel, but she didn't want to look weak in front of all her friends.

"My turn. Templa en' Tessa(4)!" Angel speaks quietly. Sakura could tell she had great difficulty doing what she was about to do. Her face is emotionless but her eyes are sad, she wants to end the match quickly before something happens.

"I am sorry Sakura." Angel whispers.

Sakura felt her body freeze.

'I…I can't move!'

Sakura watches Angel back away slowly.

'What did you do!?' She mentally cries out and as if Angel had read her mind she received an answer.

"I have paralyze your body. I will release it once your teacher calls the match." Angel turns to Tsunade.

"Alright. This match is over." Tsunade calls out waving her hand to emphasize it.

Angel walks up to Sakura and whispers, " 'Kshonna, wanya(5)."

Angel then steps away as Sakura regained power over her limps.

"I am sorry Sakura-chan." Angel turns her back towards the pink hair woman and then waits for the yells. It was harder to fight her friend, her first true friend in years, than she thought it would be.

"You are truly amazing Angel-chan," Sakura cheers. Angel turns to her, shock shining in her dark blue orbs.

"You must really stop seeing the worst outcome in everything Angel-chan. We are not like the people you have encountered before. We do not judge easily."

"So Demon, Human, or Elf; it matters not to you people?" Sakura shakes her head 'no' and Angel continues. "So you would take in a failed experiment? You would take in someone who does not belong anywhere? Who can not walk in the world of Demons, who cannot be excepted by Elves, and is feared by Humans? You would really considered an abomination like me, a monster, a half breed…"

Sakura starts to tear up with each word Angel speaks. Her breathing became erratic and her heart started to ache. "STOP IT! STOP IT NOW! YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER! NO ONE HERE CARES IF YOU ARE A DEMON! WE DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE AN ELF OR A HUMAN! YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE! YOU ARE ANGEL, YOU ARE MY FRIEND! YOU ARE NARUTO'S FRIEND! WE MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER VERY LONG BUT I HAVE COME TO CARE FOR YOU VERY MUCH! IT HURTS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOURSELF IN SUCH A WAY."

Sakura sobs but it seems to have no affect what so ever on Angel. The crowd watches in shock as they tried to figure out what they were talking about.

"Why do that keep talking about Demons and Elves? What is an Elf, anyway? What does this have to do with Angel?" Shikamaru questions.

"Because that is what Angel is," Kakashi breaks in.

"WHAT!!" Everyone yells in unison, except for Naruto, Gaara, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

"So she has a Demon in her, like Naruto?" Temari asks. She couldn't keep her eyes off the strange woman.

"No, she is nothing like Naruto. She doesn't contain a demon, she is a demon." Kakashi spoke in a bored tone.

"WHAT!?"

"I don't know anything pass that. Like I said, it is her story to tell, not mine." Kakashi continued to watch Angel as she turned to confront Sakura once more.

"Please, stay patience with me," is all Angel says. Sakura nods, she knew that Angel couldn't rid herself of years of torture in one day. But Sakura is willing to stay by her side and help her in any way she can.

"Alright! That's enough! Next up is Sasuke!" Tsunade shouts out. She hears a slight growl coming from behind her. She turns to see Gaara with a scowl on his face. '

I guess he is still not over what Sasuke did.'

Sasuke nods and jumps out to the field next to Sakura. He waits for Sakura to turn her back to him, but she doesn't. Instead she gives him a smile.

"Good luck, Sasuke-kun," Sakura waves as she runs off the field.

'-kun! She put -kun on the end of my name. She hasn't done that since that day when they came to get me. Does this mean she is starting to forgive me? I hope so. I don't know what I will do without her…'

"Day dreaming Uchiha?" Angel calls out. She knew exactly what was going through his mind, but this is not the time or the place. "We can make this quick if there is something else you rather be doing."

Sasuke catches her hint and smirks. "Well then, let's skip straight to this. SHARINGAN(2a)!"

Sasuke's onyx eyes change instantly to red.

"Verin solen(6)…" Angel whispers. Her eyes widen in fear and she felt like her limps were about to give out. She falls to her knees clutching her head as all the memories flood through her mind.

'Just like me…' Gaara thinks as he looks at the woman clutching her head. Flashes of his past cross his mind.

"What's the matter Angel?" Sasuke is a little concerned. He hadn't even began to fight and already she is on her knees in pain.

"SASUKE-TEME! WHAT DID YOU DO?" Naruto yells. He clutches in fist in anger. It took everything he had not to run out on the field and give his best friend the beating of his life.

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING YOU DOPE!" Sasuke yells back.

"He is r..r…right, Naruto. It is nothing." Angel speech is shaky but she is back on her feet.

"Are you sure you are up to this?" Sasuke asks. He really doesn't want to fight someone who couldn't hold her own. After all, she did just finish fighting two people.

"Lets go Verin solen(6)." Angel smirked.

"Alright here we go…" Sasuke lowers his left arm to the ground, energy starts to build up and air seem to be electrified.

"He's going to use that already!" Shizune gasps.

Kakashi sighs. "It seems like they don't want to waste any time with ineffective attacks."

"CHIDORI(8a)!" Sasuke yells as his left hand seem to become engulfed in electricity.

'So much power behind this… this rivals Naruto's Rasengan(6a)… but how to counter it?' Angel thinks.

She is cursing herself for letting Sasuke's eyes get the best of her, but it just reminded her of him, the dark man that follows her.

Sasuke sprints towards Angel at full force. From the previous battles he knows that Angel would not be taken down so easily but once he realize Angel wasn't going to move out of the way he tries to pull back his attack but it is too late.

"MOVE!" Sasuke screams but Angel doesn't budge. "NO!"

"SASUKE-KUN! DON'T! YOU HAVE TO STOP NOW!" Sakura screams, her eyes widen in horror. Sasuke is going to hit her with a fully form Chidori(8a). No matter how powerful she is, no one could survive that.

Everyone stares in disbelief. Even Tsunade is taken back by the events that were unfolding but it is too late to stop it, all they could do is watch.

Warm blood splatters onto Sasuke's face. His entire body shakes with fear but he is frozen in his stance. He can feel the warmth of Angel's blood as it flows down his arm but he couldn't pull away. He starts to breathe heavy and he feels like he is going to retch.

He allows his eyes to travel up to Angel's face. He is expecting to see pain, to see hate shining in her eyes, but he gasps when he sees nothing. No emotions showed, she looked like she always did except for the thin line of blood that is leaking from the corner of her mouth.

Gaara couldn't suppress growl of anger and Tsunade eyed him closely.

'Why does this affect him so? He doesn't even know Angel and yet he is shaking with anger, like it was his best friend that just took the hit…' Tsunade didn't have time to reflect on Gaara's actions, she had to check on Angel. With that thought she took off towards the woman.

Sasuke pulls his hand away and tries to hold back the bile that is rising in his throat. He forces himself to look at his hand and once again he starts to shake. It is covered in blood, her blood.

"SASUKE-TEME!" Naruto screams. Sasuke knew what was coming. He waited for the punch of a life time to connect to his face. He closed his eyes and waited for the pain, the pain he deserved. But nothing. He heard Naruto running, he could feel the chakra building up, but something stopped him.

Sasuke opens his eyes to see Angel standing in front of him with Naruto's fist in her hand.

"Do not do it Naruto." she whispers.

"Angel-chan your injured! You shouldn't be moving… you … you shouldn't be able to move at all…" Naruto's eyes widen in realization. "You're not hurt at all are you?"

"Not as badly as you think…" Angel responds letting Naruto's fist go. Tsunade was at Angel's side at that instant.

"Let me see." Tsunade orders. Angel knew it is not a request, so she complies. She lowers her tunic to show the corset she wears underneath. She let the tunic hang off her hips and Tsunade studied her closely.

"There is so much blood, but there is no wound…"

"WHAT!?" Sasuke and Naruto shout in unison. Sakura had made her way over and couldn't believe what she just heard.

Even though this was not the time or the place, the men of the crowd couldn't help but eye the woman standing before Tsunade with her tunic removed from her upper half.

"WHOA!" Kankorou practically moans. "She has quite the body there…"

"BAKA(9a)! HOW INAPPROPRIATE CAN YOU GET?! SHE'S INJURED AND YOU ARE EYEING HER LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT! YOU SICKEN ME!" Temari yells as she slaps her brother upside the head.

"She's not injured," Gaara interrupted his siblings fight.

"How do you know?" Shikamaru questions but of course that is all Gaara wanted to say. "If she can survive a direct blow from a Chidori(8a) then this woman is going to be more troublesome than I thought." Everyone nods in agreement.

"It seems that our friend here had some amazing healing abilities." Tsunade smiles. "Look Sasuke, you can see where your Chidori(8a) hit." Tsunade points to the five charred holes that were burned into Angel's clothing.

"Alright. Continue!" Tsunade yells and Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto stare at her in disbelief.

"You can't be serious Tsunade-sama!" Sasuke yells. Angel is pulling her tunic back over her shoulders, being careful not to let her scars come into view.

"I am. Angel is fit to fight, but if you don't believe me, ask her yourself." Tsunade sighs and walks away dragging Naruto and Sakura along.

"Angel?" Sasuke questions her. He is studying her carefully, looking for any sign that she is not in any condition to carry on. She simply starts at him and a smirk slowly forms on her face. Sasuke stares down at his blood covered hand then back to Angel.

"I see now," Sasuke laughs. "You planned to let me hit you all a long, didn't you?"

Everyone's eyes widen in disbelief. No way that Angel would willing take a hit from such a powerful attack. An approving grin graced Gaara's features. The more he watches this woman, the more he likes her. He shakes his head clear it of such thoughts. He thought no one had noticed his little show of emotion, but of course Tsunade and his siblings didn't miss a thing. Temari elbows Kankurou and nods her head towards Gaara. He in turned smiles and nods his approval.

"We'll have to talk to him about this later," Kankurou whispers to Temari and she nods in agreement. Gaara hears his siblings but doesn't understand what the were blabbering on about, so he ignored them.

Angel nods and gives Sasuke an approving smile. "The stories I have heard about you seem to be true. I wish you continue our fight, Sasuke."

Sasuke smiles and nods. "Hn, as you wish."

Sasuke and Angel's battle lasted longer than the other two. Sasuke's Sharingan(2a) gave him a slight advantage when it came to hand to hand. But because she didn't use any jutsus, Angel once again had the upper hand. Sasuke was in the middle of a fire jutsu when Tsunade called the match.

Sasuke smirks and walks up to Angel. Angel eyes him carefully but is taken back when he extended his hand to her. "You fight well."

Angel looks at his hand and flinches. He put her on the spot.

'What should I do!?'

'Shake his hand. You just spent the last hour fighting him and you came in contact with him that way. What is the difference?'

'I am just not … I am not… I am just not ready.'

'SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND SHAKE HIS HAND. HE FOUGHT WELL, HONOR HIM! BESIDES HE HAD HIS FINGERS INSIDE YOUR STOMACH! I BELIEVE THAT IS MORE CONTACT THAN A SIMPLE HAND SHAKE.'

The demon side of her acknowledging a human shocked Angel. She looks at Sasuke's extended hand once again and slowly reaches out and took hold of it. Before she could stop it she is overcome with emotions and flashes of memory. She held on until Sasuke let go and stuck his hand back into his pocket.

Angel takes a deep breath to calm her overworked mind.

'I really must learn how to control that if people insist on touching me.'

"Alright! Shikamaru!" Tsunade grins. "Your turn!"

"Fighting against a woman once again. How troublesome," Shikamaru sighs. He could head Temari snort at his comment and he couldn't help but grin. He likes getting under her skin.

Against Shikamaru, Angel used a spell called 'feeblemind', which left Shikamaru unable to think clearly. Tsunade called the match after Shikamaru started attacking a tree with his shadow jutsus. Once Angel released him from her spell, he asked her to cast it back on him. When Angel questioned him he pointed to Temari who was doubled over from laugher.

Against Chouji she summoned an 'Air Elemental' that kept Chouji in the air unable to attack no matter how big he made his body.

The woman named Ino proved to be more powerful than Angel expected. Ino did some kind of mind transfer technique but it failed miserably when Angel built up the walls of her mind. With a quick uttering of words, Angel use a 'mind blast' so send Ino back to her body.

When she fought Neji and Hinata they proved to be slightly more difficult, their matches lasing almost as long as Sasuke's. But with Neji she used a basic spell but if was affective none the less. She used a spell that caused clumsiness in the target, so Neji ended up falling all over himself.

With Hinata, Angel merely put her to sleep in the end. She couldn't bring herself to cast anything harsh on the shy girl. Especially when Hinata landed a strike to her shoulder, Angel felt her strong attraction towards Naruto. Angel promised she would look into the matter some more once this task was complete.

Rock Lee proved to have amazing combat skills but unlike the others he did not once try any jutsu's on her. She almost felt bad when she used her magic against him. By setting up a magic trap she caught him in mid stride and left him unable to move.

Kiba was a thrilling match. It was more like two against one, so Angel had to be quicker on her feet. She eventually stopped them with a 'mirror image' spell which caused them to collide with a stone leaving them unconscious. Angel felt badly and instantly healed them and apologize. Kiba and Akamaru told her not to apologize for it was the best match that they have had in months.

Shino confused Angel. He was different from the others, he almost didn't smell human do to his bug inhabitants. Angel did not wish to harm the bugs in anyway so she quickly caught Shino and his bugs in a magic globe. Shino respect Angel for her decision to basically not fight him and thanked her for not harming any of his bugs.

Sai was order to fight Angel with his sword before he was allowed to use his jutsus. Angel could have easily disarmed him within a second of starting the match but it had been a while since she sparred with weapons. Angel had asked Sakura to throw her back her staff but noticed the look of doubt on her face.

"It is a lot stronger than it looks. It maybe made of wood but it is stronger than steel." Angel eyed Sakura closely as she nodded and threw the weapon to Angel. Angel twirled it around a little to get the feel of it and settled into her fighting stance.

Angel's words were proven right when Sai slashed his sword down at her but was blocked by the unusual staff. A ringing sound could be heard vibrating throughout the training field. Blow after blow was countered until the final block that shattered Sai's sword. Once that happened Sai brought out his scrolls and brought a few or his drawing to life. Angel dogged and quickly pinned Sai to a tree.

Angel noticed a sad gleam in Sai's eye when he picked up pieces of his broken weapon. She walked up beside him and with quick words, she had repaired his weapon. Sakura could have sworn she had seemed a gleam of gratitude in Sai's eyes, but it was gone before she could even confirm it was there.

Ten-Ten was like playing a dodging game. She tossed weapon after weapon at Angel and it was fun. But Angel eventually put a stop to it by blasting Ten-Ten back with an energy bolt.

Now she had to face the two sand siblings. The puppet master was fun to fight. But once you take the puppets away from it's master it becomes useless and that is what happened to Kankurou when Angel teleported his puppets away from his chakra's reach. Kankurou told her that she was a cleaver girl and called the match before Tsunade did.

Now she was up against Temari. Angel was impressed with her control over the wind. But Angel could easily change that and add something of her own. She spent Temari's attack back at her with a Water elemental attached to it. Temari didn't like getting soaking wet and she made sure that Angel knew that they would have to have a rematch.

"Well, you did say you wanted a shower." Kankurou smiled, but it quickly faded when Temari glared at him. He decided to stay quiet.

"Well then," Tsunade states, " I think that is about over-"

"I will be your opponent." Gaara cuts Tsunade off.

"You wish to fight her?" Tsunade questions the Kazekage.

"Yes."

"Angel! Do you accept the challenge?" Tsunade calls out to her.

Angel stares at Gaara. For some reason the thought of fighting him excited her. "Yes. I will fight you Sand Master."

Gaara walks over to where Angel is standing. The woman had just fought against fifteen Jounin and ANBU level ninja's and the only thing that showed any sign of these battles is the blood on her tunic from the hit she took from Sasuke. Her breathing is casual and her eyes are clear and determined.

Gaara likes what he sees, he likes how this woman handles herself, and he is excited. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to spar with such an amazing woman.

"I won't go easy on you woman." Gaara says coldly. It is the truth, he is not going to hold back because she is a woman. He had seen first hand what she is capable of and he had a feeling that she is no where near showing her full potential.

"I would not expect you too, Sand Master," Angel smirks and relaxes into her battle stance.

"Alright! When you are ready!" Tsunade shouts.

Japanese Translations

1a. Byakugan --- (literally means "White Eye") is a special pupil condition (Doujutsu, literally "eye technique") that naturally occurs in members of the Hyuuga clan (and thus only members from the Hyuuga clan can possess it). Byakugan users are characterized by their lavender, pupil-less eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, their pupils somewhat appear and the veins near their temples bulge.

2a. Sharingan --- (literally means "Copy Wheel Eye") is a special type of pupil condition that naturally occurs in all members of the Uchiha clan, though not all of them gain the ability to use it. Itachi hints at some dark ultimate purpose behind the Sharingan, which both he and Sasuke apparently know, but it has yet to be reveal exactly what that purpose is. The Sharingan is thought to be descended from the Byakugan, but grants the user different abilities and a different insight.

3a. Kekkei genkai --- (literally means "blood inheritance limit" or "an ability limited to blood inheritance", also called a "bloodline limit", "advanced bloodline", or "bloodline trait") is any property passed down genetically through a specific clan that cannot be imitated or duplicated by any normal method, although it might be possible to copy it using genetic manipulation or organ transplantation. Kekkei genkai are often beneficial, and are employed commonly by shinobi to improve their chances in battle or other challenging situations.
