Happy Readings!

Not so Weak Anymore
Chapter Twenty-five
Being a True Tenshi
-
"The village should be close." Ami said scouting the land. She was from the village originally, so she remembered how to get there easily.
The gang was walking along a road that led up a little mountain.
Tenten sighed, "About time, we've been traveling for five days now."
Ami chuckled, "Well, we would have been there sooner if Ino didn't have to stop in every town and go shopping." She said referring to all the bags Ino was making Daisuke carrying.
Ino huffed, "Well, its not everyday you walk into a village, and there's sales on everything."
Daisuke glared, "Yeah, that's why I'm grateful for it."
Ino glared daggers into him. Akira and Sakura sighed. The two just didn't get along together well.
"Hey! There it is!" Tenten yelled, pointing to a little village down the mountain. Everyone raced to the edge of the mountain and looked at the village.
"So that's it, huh?" Sakura said looking down.
Ami grinned, "Heh, home sweet home!"
The village was small, but had a big castle looking structure in the middle. It was guarded by a wall, like Konoha, but no where near as big of a wall, as Konoha had. They had little houses, and a lot of farm land around. In all, it looked cute.
"YES! We made it!" Ino exclaimed. Sakura looked down and grinned.
"Well, let's get going!"
The gang began running down towards the village happily, knowing they reached their destination.
As they were getting closer to the village, all five girls got a bad vibe. Whatever it was, they pushed it aside as they reached the village gates.
Once at the village gates, they looked around for someone to escort them in. To their dismay, no one was there… actually no one was out in the village. The group looked around franticly, but there was no one. They all looked at each other.
"Do we go in?" Akira asked. The group shrugged.
"I suppose so." Sakura said, taking the first step in. The rest of the gang followed close behind. They started walking down the streets of the village. They could vaguely see people looking out windows and around corners, staring at them. All these stares confused the group, and Ino was getting annoyed with it.
"Okay, what's going on here!?" she screeched out loud. People just stared at her loud outburst. They seemed frightened and worried about something.
Some elder lady came out from one her house and looked at the gang, a little unsure at first. Ami's eyes widened.
"A-Ami, is that you?" the elder lady asked. Ami nodded and ran to the elder, giving her a hug.
"Grandma!" she said hugging her. The elder returned the hug and smiled.
"Oh, it's been so long since I saw you last Ami my dear."
"Like wise grams. How have you been?" she asked. The elder shrugged.
"I could be better. What brings you to town?" she asked. Ami scratched the back of her head.
"Heh, well you see–" before she could reply, Sakura coughed. Ami sweat dropped.
"Right, guys, this is my grandmother Ayama, my only blood linked relative left. Grandma, this is…" Ami trailed off at the end, not knowing if she should use their real or fake names.
Sakura stepped up and bowed. "I'm Rin. Nice to meet you Ayama-san." She said politely. Everyone else followed suit in introducing themselves.
"Is something wrong in this village? Everyone seems scared of something." Sakura asked. The grandmother looked down. She headed to the door of her house. She held the door open.
"Please, come in." she said. Ami went right in, while the rest of the gang hesitated for a second. After thinking for a second, they followed suit.
The house wasn't big, but it wasn't small. It was quant. There were four rooms on the first floor, and five rooms on the second floor, including the bathroom. Although there were many rooms, the rooms were small.
Ayama ushered the group to the kitchen table. The group sat down, as the elder started making some tea. Sakura was still wondering why everyone was so timid.
"So what's the problem here in this village?" she asked again. The elder stopped what she was doing and looked at the gang with sad eyes. She sighed.
"This village isn't exactly 'safe.' Every month a gang of nins come into town and steal what they please, and take young woman out of the village. They're a gang of crooks, and no ones been able to stand up to them. Everyone's hiding, because they should be coming sometime soon." She explained in a timid voice. The group gave the elder sympathetic looks, but then they were filled with hated.
"So you're telling us these guys basically raid this village and you guys let them get away with it?" Tenten said angered. The elder nodded timidly. Ino growled.
"Those bastards! I can't believe you let them get away with that!" Ino said angered. The elder started filling cups with tea.
"There's too many. The gang consists of a hundred men, and this village isn't exactly the village full of shinobi it once was. There is nothing we can do." The old woman explained. Everyone looked down.
Just then, a loud siren outside sounded off. The elder panicked.
"There back! That's the warning call!" She screeched in horror. The gang jumped to their feet and looked out the window. Outside the village, they could see many shinobi in black suits, coming right for the village. They heard people in the streets screeching in horror and running for safety. Ami watched as her home town was sent into mayhem.
She clenched her fist and made her backpack and pulled out a gray cloak. She threw it on herself and put the hood up, to hide her face.
"Well, I'm not going to stand around and let my former home be attacked by these bastards." She said heading for the door. She turned to the gang.
"Lets show these guys the true meaning of a Tenshi. Let's show these guys not to mess with this village!" She said grinning.
The other Tenshi's and Uchiha's grinned back, going into their bags and taking out their cloaks and putting their hoods up.
"You don't need to ask us twice." Sakura said. Before they could leave, Ayama screeched.
"Wait, you can't be telling me you're going after those guys!? They'll take you away!" she said on the verge of tears. Ami hugged her grandmother.
"Don't worry; I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm not the weak girl I was when I was young. I've grown into a powerful kunoichi, and I won't let this village be taken down by these thieves!" Ami replied. Her grandmother just stared at her with admiration.
"You have truly grown up, since the last time I saw you."
Ami smiled and headed out the door. As they were leaving, Ino smiled at Ayama.
"Don't worry! We'll make sure she comes back in one piece!" she said. Ayama chuckled. She stepped out of her little house and watched the gang run out to the battlefield. A small smile plastered on her face.
"Yugi, you better be right about these girls."
-
An elder man was sitting cross-legged at the foot of an underground shrine. Flames on candles flickered, after a breeze entered. The man's hands were clasped together in a praying pose. The room was silent.
His eyes fluttered open. He looked at the tapestry on the wall. He smiled.
"They're going to do it. I don't know how you can have so much faith in them Yugi. There still only teenagers, with not much experience." A female voice said from the staircase of the underground shrine. Yugi whipped around and stared at the woman.
"These girls have far passed me expectations. They have faith in each other, so I have faith in them." he said, turning around, gazing at the tapestry on the wall.
"You know, you could have more faith in your granddaughter, Amaya. She has a lot more potential then you can even imagine. When the Tenshi's are working together, as a team, the power they can create is destructive. There's no doubt in my mind, they can beat Kenji when the time is right." Yugi commented. Amaya stared hard at Yugi's back.
"Yes, but you do realize there is one more Tenshi left to find, in the limited amount of time we have?" Another voice said. Both Yugi and Ayama turned to the left, where another elder came in from a secret door. Yugi sighed.
"Yes, we understand that Isamu." Yugi said still gazing at the tapestry. He then smirked.
"And I'm pretty sure I know who she is, but right now we have to wait, and believe in our girls that they can take down the Raiders." Yugi said, ending the conversation. Ayama and Isamu, the two elders both nodded. Yugi turned around with a smile.
"Shall we go watch?"
-
A band of a hundred males stared greedily at the Tenshi village. The leader of the group, dressed in all black smirked. He had Brown hair and brown eyes. He looked about forty or so. The rest of the gang's ages varied between 20-40. The leader of the gang stood right in the middle of men heading to the village. Men stood in front of him, and behind him, so if they were to be attacked, he would be safe.
"Punishing this village should be a pleasure." He said licking his lips. The gang of men cheered as there leader lead them onward.
Just then, the gang stopped. The leader had hit the man's back in front of him, without warning. He fumed and started making his way up to the front of the gang. Once he reached the front, he turned to his co-captain, who was leading them into the village.
"Why did we stop?" he asked. The co-captain pointed out at the village. He looked at the gates of the village.
At the front gates, stood seven figures, with cloaks on, with their hoods up, casting a shadow over their faces. He saw two smaller figures, and five taller figures. He couldn't tell who they were, or if they were male or female.
The seven figures just stood there, staring at the group of men in front of them. Sakura smirked.
"You guys ready?"
They all nodded. She stared out, "Alright. We fight in twos. Tenten and Ami work together, while Hinata and Ino together. Daisuke, Akira, stick with me." She said. They all nodded.
"Lets go."
-
four male figures stood atop of the castle, staring out at the battle that was about to start. They all stared out with anticipation.
"Do you think we should go down and help them Akito?" Sora asked. Akito shrugged.
"I honestly don't know. They need to prove themselves, and this is their chance."
"Alas, you are right Akito." An elder's voice said from behind them. All four boys turned around.
"Yugi." They all chorused in. Yugi was them followed by Amaya and Isamu. The three elders came and stood beside the boys, wanting to watch the battle.
"This is their chance to unleash the true Tenshi inside of them. A Tenshi always puts their own life at risk, to save those who they love."
-
"Katon: Karyū Endan!" Daisuke cried out with his Sharingan activated, as fire came out of his mouth, much like a flame thrower. The raiders screamed out in fear and pain, as the fire engulfed them. Akira came up behind him, jumped up in the air, and performed some hand signs.
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"
She fired fire balls with shiruken at her opponents. As the fire balls were coming towards her enemies, the fire dissipated, and the shiruken became visible. The enemy jumped out of the way of the fire balls and landed on the ground safely.
But they failed to notice that was a distraction.
"Doton: Retsudotenshō!" Sakura said performing the necessary hand signs. The group of men looked around frantically but then plunged down into the ground, as the jutsu took effect. This technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on it, burying them alive or crushing them, and that jutsu did just that.
Just at that moment, Sakura's tattoo started glowing.
-
"A True Tenshi will do whatever it takes, to take evil down, and bring peace. They assess the situation, and work to their advantages."
-
"Hinata, you ready?" Ino asked her teammate. Hinata nodded. Ino preformed hand signs.
"Black Storm!" she called out. Thick black threatening clouds appeared over head. Thunder echoed loudly and lightning flickered.
"Piercing rain!" Hinata cried out. A heavy downpour started. The water droplets turned into spikes, piercing through the raiders. Hinata, with her Byakugan activated, looked around with her 360 vision, to plan out her next course of action.
"Suiton: Suigadan!"
The water on the ground created a circle of crushing water spikes around the raiders. They were dead in an instant. Ino started performing her own hand signs.
"Raging Thunder!" lightning bolts from the skies came down, hitting a flock of raiders. They too, were instantly killed.
And at that moment, their tattoos started glowing.
-
"A true Tenshi never backs down. Even with the odds against them, they persevere. Their determination and will to win is key. Even if the odds are against them, they find a way, to win."
-
The rain had diminished, but the fact that everything was still damp, didn't help Tenten when it came to her fire style techniques. She grunted in annoyance. Fire Techniques were her strong point, but due to the inconvenience, she had to stick with her wind jutsu's.
Tenten was obviously outnumbered, by a wide margin. The raiders performed hand signs, and made many clones of themselves. Even though Tenten was now GREATLY outnumbered, she had quiet the crafty idea.
A few clones came at her. Tenten quickly performed hand signs and took a deep breath. Two clones blew up in front of her, causing smoke to be left behind. Another clone came up and tried punching Tenten in the chest, but she blocked it with her arms. Another tried to kick her, but she jumped. Finally, one of them caught her off guard and punched her in the gut.
But truly, she wasn't caught off guard.
"Fūton: Renkūdan!"
When she got punched in the gut, She shot a large ball of compressed air and chakra at the raiders, causing an enormous conflagration. The clones were diminished, and the raiders were killed, without Tenten breaking a sweat. Because she was so wrapped up in her latest accomplishment, she failed to realize what was coming at her from the behind.
-
"A true Tenshi will watch out for their team mates–even if their friendship was newly formed. Even if they are not comrades–they will still watch out for the innocent."
-
Ami was holding her own pretty darn nicely. She had assessed the situation on her hands, and had taken down the enemy the best way she could. With Tenten as her partner, the two were slowly, but surely winning the fight.
Speaking of Tenten, Ami whipped around to check on her comrade.
She froze.
fifteen raiders were coming up behind Tenten with axes and other weapons, and Tenten hadn't noticed them yet. She had to act fast. She performed hand signs. She had to save her new friend no matter what.
"Doton: Doryū Jōheki!"
She pressed her hands on the ground. A surge of chakra went under the fifteen raiders and in front of them. The ground rose up, creating a hill right in front of them, so they couldn't get to Tenten. At that moment, Tenten whipped around, only to be met with a hill. At seeing this, she raised an eyebrow, but pushed it aside as she had more ninja to take care of.
The raiders turned around and glared at Ami.
"You'll wish you never messed with us!" one of them said.
Ami smirked, "You talk big, and most people who talk big can't back it up. So let's see what you got!"
The leader of the fifteen created ten more of himself. They all ran at Ami at once.
Ami pulled out a kunai with explosive tags attached. She threw it at one of the clones. The clone evaded the kunai, but the explosion still went off, causing four of the other clones to get caught in it, and explode themselves.
The other six came at Ami. The three of them attacked her at once, landing a good solid punch and kick.
POOF!
It was a shadow clone itself. But the clone left a nice little surprise. The clone turned into an explosive tag.
Kaboom.
The clones all disappeared. The group of raiders growled in annoyance. They then looked around frantically for her.
"Looking for me?" she said from above. The five of them looked overtop. Ami was coming down from the sky, with a big smirk on her face. She performed hand signs.
"Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi!" parts of the ground dislodged, and raised up high. As Ami was coming down, so did those rocks. The raiders quivered in fear.
"Mommy." One of them said, before his death came.
SPLAT! xD
All fifteen of them died in an instant. Ami smirked at her work. She landed on the ground swiftly.
"Like taking candy from a baby." She said to herself proudly. She was so wrapped up in moment; she failed to notice that she truly didn't kill them all.
"DIE!" one of the seven of the fifteen raiders who were under the rock cried out. The raider who yelled out at Ami had an axe in hand, ready to come down on her. Ami turned around in fear.
Before the raider could slash her, he was pierced in the back with a weapon. Weapons came hurdling down from the sky, at the raiders. Ami looked up, and there was Tenten with two scrolls encircling her as weapons came down. Now, ALL of the raiders were dead. Tenten came down, landing gracefully in front of Ami. She gave Ami a thumbs up.
"One good deed deserves another. I got your back." Tenten said. Ami at first just stared at Tenten, but then grinned.
"Back at you."
At that very moment, their tattoo's started glowing.
-
The leader of the raiders, watched as his last few men died, to the hands of these six girls and one boy. He couldn't believe, they, the notorious raiders were taken down so easily! These men could take down jounin level ninja down easily, but this group of shinobi hardly broke a sweat taking them down.
H-how could this have happened?!
He stood there, in a shocked state. He finally came to his senses, and did the only thing he could do.
Run.
He started running to the forest, in hopes of his life being spared. He was no coward–on the contraire, he was a rather brave man… but in the situation he was in, there was nothing left to do.
"Doton: Doroku Gaeshi!" Ami's voice rang out. The ground in front of the leader rose up, creating a wall. He stopped dead in his tracks, realizing he couldn't go into the forest. He whipped around.
five womanly figures of that of teenagers stood before him, with two younger children beside the one with brown hair and green eyes. They all looked very angry. The one with reddish orange hair threw a kunai that grazed his left cheek. Blood oozed out.
"And where do you think your going?" she asked, smirking. The man glared hard at them.
"Well, I think he's running away from us. Us GIRLS and these two children." The other girl with brown hair in a ponytail retorted. The man grunted.
The one with the other brown haired girl threw a kunai, this time hitting him in the shoulder. He winced at the pain. She glared hard.
"Men like you don't deserve to live. Hurting the innocent and stealing to accommodate your needs." She said dryly. The blonde's haired girl's eyes did something funny, that he couldn't really explain. It was like she was staring right into his soul.
"Men like you are scum." The paled eyed girl said coldly. The man sighed. He looked down, in defeat.
But he wasn't going to give up so easily.
He started chuckling manically. Hinata watched him closely with her Byakugan.
This is weird. The chakra in his body is moving at such a rapid rate…
Her eyes widened at that moment.
"G-Guys… He's not normal." She declared. Her comrades looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Ami asked.
At this point, Hinata didn't have to say anymore.
"AAAHHHAAA!" the man screamed out, as he rose up. His eyes turned a murky green color. His arms and legs bulged out as muscle appeared. He was growing into some monstrosity. The ninja's jumped back far, out of harms way. They watched with worried eyes, as this man grew into some kind of giant with amped muscles. He looked to be about the size of Gamabunta.
"What the hell is he!?" Tenten asked. Hinata kept staring on.
"He's u-using his chakra to a-amp up his body. We obviously u-underestimated him!" Hinata announced. The girls grunted.
"Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, so lets take them down!" Sakura declared. They all nodded.
Tenten and Daisuke ran at the leader, jumped up his body, and jumped off his chest outward. They performed hand signs.
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!" they both yelled, aiming fireballs at the big man. The leader dodged them, taking steps back.
But then he couldn't move. He got stuck.
"Doton: Yomi Numa!" a voice said below him. He looked down and a girl with black hair her hands were pressed down on the ground. He then noticed he was slowly sinking. She had caught him in a sinking swampland. He growled in annoyance, easily stepping out of the swampland. Ami grunted.
"I've had enough of your fun and games." He said. He then flexed his chest muscles hard, and an great amount of wind was pushed off his chest, and knocked Tenten, Ami, and Daisuke backwards. Sakura, Ino and Hinata put their arms up to block the on coming wind. The giant man smirked.
"Its time you all die."
-
"Looks like their in some kind of trouble." Ryo said looking out at the field, where an enormous giant stood.
"Do you think we should go out now and help them?" Sora asked.
Kouji shook his head, "We could never take him down ourselves–heck we could hardly put a scratch on him. They have more potential then we do now–heck, those Uchiha kids could surpass us. So even with us helping them, we'd only get in the way."
Akito stared down at the village, where many villagers had come out to watch this fight. They seemed to have hope in their eyes–as if they believed in the girls. Akito smiled.
"Its now or never… can you guys deliver?"
-
Sakura, Tenten, Ami, Ino and Hinata all tumbled to the ground, in serious pain, as the raider threw them aside with ease. The girls tried to stand up, but alas, it was futile. They're chakra was drained too much, and they were beaten up in to many places.
Daisuke and Akira were sitting on the sidelines, as instructed by Sakura. She didn't want the two to push themselves to far, much to the annoyance of Daisuke, who wanted to fight.
Daisuke growled as he watched the girls get thrown aside. He was clutching his knuckles to tightly, his fist was going white.
Akira watched them with a worried look, "Oh no… Daisuke, what should we do?"
Daisuke looked down, his bangs covering his eyes. He had a scowl on his face.
"We have no choice Akira."
Akira turned to him and stared hard at him.
"Daisuke…"
"I don't care if Sakura told us to stay here! I can't watch our sister-like figure get beaten to a pulp. I know she's strong, but she needs out help!"
Daisuke stared hard at Akira. Akira looked unsure at her comrade, but then nodded slowly.
"We need to think of a plan." She said. He nodded. The two stared long and hard at the giant. Akira jumped after thinking of something.
"I got it!" she said. Daisuke turned to her.
"Remember how Sakura said earlier 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall?' We have to attack his legs. That will bring him down!" she said happily. Daisuke nodded.
"I got a plan." He declared. Akira leaned into him as he explained the plan to her. She occasionally nodded. Once done speaking, Akira looked at Daisuke.
"Are you sure about this?" Akira asked. Daisuke turned to the battlefield, where he watched the Tenshi's struggle to get up. He watched his mentor, Sakura trying to get up. He nodded.
"I've never been more sure."
-
Yugi watched as his Tenshi's fell helplessly to the oversized Neanderthal. Elder Amaya watched with worried eyes, as her grand daughter, and the other Tenshi's were helpless.
"Yugi…I–"
"We cannot interfere. They need to prove themselves and this is their chance. This guy is an S-Class criminal, and if they can take him down, then they are truly living up to their name." Yugi stated. He stared hard at the battle field.
"The Tenshi's have to live out certain characteristics to unleash the true power of a Tenshi…" Yugi started. Everyone turned to him.
"As I stated before, a Tenshi has to prove themselves through what I said earlier during battle,"
-
"ugh… this guy is a lot more powerful then we expected." Ino groaned, trying to get back up. Sakura attempted to heal her major wounds, but she was to drained of chakra. Everyone grunted in annoyance as they were having a hard time getting up. Hinata looked out to the giant.
Her eyes widened, "Hey isn't that Daisuke and Akira running at him?!"
Everyone turned to the giant. Sakura's eyes widened, "what the hell are they doing?! I told them to stay out of the way!"
Sakura made an attempt to get up, but her body was acing to much for her to get up.
-
"Ready Akira?" Daisuke asked. Akira nodded. They ran at the big man. Akira pumped Chakra in her legs and ran up the giant. She went up to his nose and then jumped off, performing hand signs.
"Doton: Doryūheki!" Mud spewed out of Akira's mouth, hitting the giant right in the face. During training, Akira picked up on some Earth elemental moves, making her multi-talented.
The mud hardened automatically. He grunted in annoyance, trying to take off the mud. Daisuke pulled out chakra string and ran around the giants legs, so he was tied together. He then performed hand signs.
"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu!" Daisuke ignited the chakra line, which zipped up the chakra string wrapped around the giant's legs. He cried out in pain, and fell hard on the ground. Akira came up beside Daisuke, as they watched the oversized lug struggle.
The Tenshi girls watched in amazement, as this simple plan worked.
"Wow, they took him down." Tenten said.
But the praising was short lived.
The giant sat up, and glared at the two kids. His hand swept across the ground, picking the two of them up in his hand, squeezing them hard. The two cried out in pain. The Tenshi's watched in utter horror as they were getting the life squished out of them.
The big man brought the two little Uchiha's right to his face. He glared hard at the two.
"You two little kids will pay for what you've done." He said smirking. He threw the two against the little mountain the gang climbed up earlier to get to the village. As they were getting thrown, Daisuke moved, so Akira would hit him, instead of hitting the mountain.
Boom.
Daisuke hit the mountain, while Akira hit his back. They both fell to the ground, almost dead. The Tenshi's watched in horror as the two were disposed of. Something in the girls snapped, but in Sakura, it blew up. She watched in horror, as the two Uchiha kids, who she treated like her own siblings were beaten to a pulp. She gritted her teeth and looked down.
"He's going to pay for what he's done!" she growled lowly. She stood up, ignoring the pain surging through her body. The other Tenshi's followed suit, feeling the same anger that was boiling in Sakura.
That's when it clicked.
Their tattoos glowed brightly. They all turned to their designated Tattoo area. Tenten's tattoo turned red and white, Ino's yellow, Hinata's blue, Ami's green, and Sakura's was an array of all five. They all felt the power surge they originally felt when they first got the tattoos, only this time, it wasn't painful. This power surge amplified their chakras and healed their wounds easily. Powerful balls of chakra built up in their hands, each the colors of their tattoos. Understanding their powers were coming out, they all knew what they had to do. They put one hand on top of the chakra ball, while the other hand held it. The ball of chakra grew bigger and bigger in their hands. Once big enough, they put their hands to their sides. (Much like the Kamehameha attack from Dragonball Z) Sakura glared at the man with a murderous look.
"You're a dead man."
-
"And once these characteristics are carried out, the girls will have become, a True Tenshi. One that is courageous, hard working, intelligent, strong, tactful, graceful, analytical, a team player…" Yugi stared out at the battle field.
"And most importantly, True to themselves. Then, and only then, will they unleash the true power, of a Tenshi." Yugi announced. As he was saying this, they watched as the chakra balls in the Tenshi's hands grew bigger.
"What is that?" Sora asked unsure. Yugi grinned.
"The true power of the Tenshi's. A ball of their elemental chakra will build up, much like the Resangan, but, much bigger and powerful. The chakra builds up, and once its built up enough, it will blast itself at its opponent. Its almost unbeatable."
The elders, the boys and the town's people watched with much anticipation.
Yugi smiled, "We have our Tenshi's back."
-
BOOM!
All five chakra blast twisted around each other, hitting the giant raider, and going right through him. He didn't even have the chance to blink, due to the blasts fast launch. He fell to the ground, dead. The girls stayed in the position they were when they launched the blast. After three seconds, they collapsed to the ground, each drained of chakra. They all laid on the ground, panting from exhaustion.
"W-What w-was that?" Tenten asked referring to the chakra blast.
"I-I have n-no clue," Sakura started, "but it was amazing." She said smirking. Ino grunted.
"There is no way he could have lived through that." She declared. They all nodded slowly. Hinata sat up first, and looked around. Something caught her eyes.
"Hey guys, look." She said pointing to the village. They all sat up and looked out. At the village gates, all the towns' people came out and gazed at the five girls. They had smiles plastered on their faces. The sadness that was originally written all over their faces was gone, and it was filled with happiness. The girls all stood up, and gazed at the villagers.
Just then, Yugi, followed by Amaya, Isamu, Ryo and Sora came out from behind the crowd, and gazed at the girls. Yugi grinned.
"You passed my expectations." He stated. He then went up to the girls and turned to the village people. He cleared his throat.
"People of the Tenshi village, allow me to introduce you to the five most influential people of your time." He moved aside and went next to Tenten.
"Meet Tenten, also known as the reincarnation of Mai Tenshi." He said pointing to her. Many people gasped upon hearing Mai Tenshi's name being used. Yugi then went next to Hinata.
"Meet Hyuuga Hinata, reincarnation of Rika Tenshi." Again, whispers were heard among the crowd. Hinata blushed out of embarrassment. He then pointed to Ino.
"Meet Yamanka Ino, reincarnation of Yumi Tenshi." More whispers were heard. He then pointed to Ami.
"I hope most of you remember Ami, the reincarnation of Rina Tenshi." He announced. Many people whispered more, saying that elder Amaya's granddaughter had returned. Lastly, Yugi went to Sakura.
"And lastly, Haruno Sakura, apprentice of the 5th Hokage of Konoha, and the reincarnation of Sakura Tenshi." He stated. The crowd erupted with whispers of their almighty ruler returning. The crowd then died down, so Yugi could finish speaking.
"The Tenshi's promised they would come back, reincarnated. These girls are their promised reincarnation." He stated. The crowd was silent for a moment, staring at the girls. Ino leaned over to Sakura.
"Do they not like us or something?"
Before Sakura could shrug, someone in the crowd started clapping. The clapping person was Sora. Ryo joined in with his clap, followed by the two elders. Slowly, but surely, the whole village started clapping, praising their saviors. Sakura smirked.
"That'll answer your question."
The crowd began erupting with cheers. After cheering, they all bowed, showing their up most respect for the girls. They all smiled.
Sakura then remembered something.
"Wait! What happened to Akira and Daisuke?!" she asked whipping around, looking frantically for the two.
"Don't worry about them." A voice said from behind her. She whipped around.
"Akito!" she said surprised. In his hands, he had an unconscious Akira. Behind Akito, was Kouji, with Daisuke over his shoulder, also unconscious.
"They're pretty beaten up, but they'll live." Kouji stated. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. Yugi came up behind Sakura.
"You can heal them later, but right now, its time for a feast, in honor of the returning Tenshi's!" he announced. The towns people excitedly headed inside the village. The girls started chuckling.
"Alright, then lets get going." Ami announced, as they started walking in. As they entered the village, Sakura stood at the village gates, gazing up at the gates and the sky. Something someone said to her awhile, kept replaying in her head.
"You will play the biggest role. Train hard and keep those important to you, close. They will give you the drive you need to succeed."
Yugi had told her that right in the beginning of their quest. She smirked at the memory.
"Reminiscing on past memories?" Yugi's old voice said from behind her. She nodded, without looking at the elder. He gave a small smile.
"You did exactly as I told you those many months ago. You girls did much better then I had ever hoped and grew into much stronger kunoichi. You girls are indeed, are not so weak anymore." Sakura smiled at that comment.
"Yeah, not so weak anymore."
