Hello. Sorry that it took so long to update with this one. I have had writers block for so long, it is not even funny. guh.... =,= this sucks. lol. I know that I said for only one month. But I have no excuse. Heres what happened. Im writing on this story all the time to figgure out what I can pull out next then my mind goes all googoo, and gets retarded. so then I have to throw all of my writing away and start fresh. GAH! I hate this. writer's block SUCKS. I feel like one of those looney tunes episodes where daffy duck gets his head turned into a jackass. DX
UchihaSanNin
Sasuke's body covered Hikaru's much smaller one, and he had taken the hit that was meant for the young child. Suigetsu and Juugo stood by him, facing out, to repel any other attacks that would now come at their leader's exposed back. Hikaru was screaming once again, and Sasuke had an arm around the boy's back. Sasuke felt the blood soaking into his hakama, and he grimaced. He didn't feel any pain yet. But after his heart rate would slow, he would feel it then. And it wouldn't be pleasant.
He slowly sat up, and straightened his tall frame, keeping his arm around his son. He turned to Suigetsu and Juugo, who stood at his back, and glared past them to the group of Nin that stood a hundred yards away. His right hand then strayed to his chukotu, and his hold tightened on Hikaru, who whimpered loudly.
"Every thing's going to be fine, Hikaru....Daddy's here, now...." He murmured, and then Juugo took the boy from him. "Get him back to Konoha before Sakura gets here. Go."
"Hai." Juugo then disappeared. Suigetsu sneered, and looked Sasuke up and down.
"You took a hit." He muttered. A serrated tooth stuck out of the corner of his mouth, and he smirked. "Just don't get in my way."
"Hn." Sasuke then lunged for the group of Nin, and Suigetsu followed, unsheathing his giant blade, Kubikiri Hōchō.
They both ran at top speed toward their opponents, the thirst for blood, revenge, and battle clouding all judgement and sense.
Sasuke ran at top speed toward the Mist Nin. His rage clouded his mind and sight. He swore that he could see red. He leaped into the air, and suddenly unvieled handfuls of senbon from his pouch on his thigh. "Chidori Senbon!!!!" Electrically charged senbon went flying everywhere, and agonized screams rent the air around the two apposing nin. As his feet hit the ground, Mist Nin converged around them, and he unsheathed his chukotu. He lashed out, letting his chakra flow into the blade, creating an electrical charge. blood sprayed everywhere it struck, and Sasuke smiled cynically.
--
Sakura and Sai ran through the trees, and saw Juugo. Liu, Lin, and Akihiko ran as fast as they could to keep up, but was a few yards behind. "What's going on Sai!" She yelled, as she cuaght up with Sakura and said boy.
"It seems as though Sasuke has started the war that the Land of Waves had been preparing for." He answered nonchalantly. Sakura sped up as a feeling of apprehension went through her.
She ran ahead of everyone, and stopped fast as she hit the edge of the thick forest.
--
Sasuke stood in the middle of the large clearing, with wasted bodies all around him. Blood was everywhere, and Suigetsu wasn't far away, staring at his team leader. Sakura saw him and watched as the Uchiha picked a fatally wounded man by the collar of his shirt. He brought him up to face level, and snarled. "Where is Karin. And your Kage...? I have a few things that I would like to say to him." The man sneered at the Uchiha, and spat in his face. Sasuke glared daggers at his new victim and threw him clear across the clearing. He hit the ground underneath the tree that Sakura stood in, and She leaped down after her husband.
"Sasuke!" She screamed, "What have you done!!!?" She reached him, and yanked him around by the back of his sleeveless hakama. "Sasuke!"
He glared down a her, and she paused. "Sasuke....?" She didn't say anything for a few seconds when she saw the blood on his hakama. "You're hurt....how did this happen?" Lin, Liu, and Akihiko landed beside her, and looked around. "Here....let me take care of that..." She placed her hands on his stomach, and they glowed green for a few minutes.
He pulled away, perfectly healed. "Suigetsu....Find her." He growled, and didn't even spare Sakura a second glance or a thank you.
"Smug bastard," Liu muttered, and Sasuke glared at him. Liu glared back, then looked back at Sakura. "Hime-Chan, let's go."
--
Karin smiled, and looked over at the battlefield. The Mist Kage smiled cynically, and laughed qieutly. "Konohagakure has no idea fuckin fubared they really are......" He muttered. "I am really going to enjoy the destruction....."
Sasuke Uchihastalked through the empty camp. He sensed only a small number of weak chakra. one he recognized as Karin's, and the others he didn't know. Suigetsu tailed his leader, and sniggered. "Dude, your wife is seriously pissed the fuck off."
"Hn....."
--
Naruto Uzumaki stood in the Hokage's large office, wondering where that damned messenger bird was. He wondered if Sakura and Sasuke were all right. And what of Ishin? Hikaru? His own son and daughter?
He was nearing a blind panic. But he managed to hold the feeling down. He had to show that he could handle this. If He couldn't, then why would he even deserve to be Hokage?
He had to know what was going on. Just as he started to make his way toward the large oaken doors to his rear, a blurred blacked figure went across his line of vision. He threw the window open, and caught the bird in his hand. The hastily scrawled Kanji that was tied to the bird's scaled leg disappeared, and then the bird itself exploded. Naruto's blue eyes widened in disbelief as he read it's contents.
"Holy Shit...... Sasuke....?!" He let the letter fall from between his fingers, and it fluttered to the carpeted ground beside his feet. Then the Hokage disappeared.
--
Karin walked slowly out of the large tent. The blazing heat from the fire that was all around the war camp met her full on, and she visibly flinched. A flash of black came out of nowhere, and then, Sasuke Uchiha was standing in front of her. She smiled, acting accordingly to plan.
She fell over in a heap, playing the helpless weakling she actually was. "Sasuke-Kun!" She shrieked, crawling forward, then coming up to her feet once again. She threw herself at him, and gasped when Sasuke's large hands caught her arms.
"You don't deserve to live." He breathed. He threw her away from him, and she landed in a heap onthe ground. The Uchiha stared down at her with a malicious look in his onyx orbs.
"Sasuke-Kun, you don't understand......he forced me to do this. I couldn't deny him! I had to take Hikaru and bring him.....!" He walked slowly toward her, and she started scooting backwards. "Sasuke-Kun-!!!!" He had her by the throat before she even knew it. He jerked her up and off the ground, above his head. He squeezed, hard, and she choked.
"Sasuke!!!!!!"
Sakura's voice. He loosened his hold momentarily, but tightened his grip once more. The pinkette came out of nowhere, and delivered a kick to the back of his leg, successfully breaking the choke hold he had on the ugly red fell over backwards, losing the feeling in his leg completely, and landed on the ground on his back. hard. Karin fell on top of him, and Sakura landed on her feet next to them.
"Get the fuck off of him, you idiot." She grabbed a hank of Karin's choppy red hair, and yanked her away from her husband. She threw her to the rear, and looked down at Sasuke. "That's enough." She commanded.
He gave her a scathing look, and then grimaced as the blood started circulating into the lower regions of his left leg once again. He still couldn't feel the limb. But boy, did it hurt.
Sasuke glared at the redhead. "She took our sons. She's sided with the enemy. She tried to KILL Hikaru!" He yelled. Sakura blanched.
Hikaru.....? How....? NO!!! She sent an angry look down to Sasuke. "Why didn't you tell me?"
His reply was forgotten when Karin started laughing. She turned around, seeing her holding something in her hands. her face was scratched and bleeding, probably from the force of the fall and Sakura throwing her. She cradled the object in her hands like she would something very fragile. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow, and scowled.
"You know, I was saving this for something to use as a last resort. I'm going to feel bad for Juugo. He was such a nice young man. I was told to use this in Konoha...." A small trigger-like device was held in her left hand, and Sasuke's eyes narrowed.
"What the hell is that....?" Sakura muttered. She helped Sasuke up to his good leg, and he leaned on her.
Karin's ugly sneer widened even more. "Sasuke-kun knows exactlywhat this is....." Sasuke's normally expressionless eyes widened in sudden apprehension.
He shoved away from Sakura, and fell over as he threw out his left leg, trying to break out into a run. He got up again, and clawed at the ground, as if trying to drag himself.
Karin's laugh gained a high pitch, and she squealed loudly. Then, the small button that was revealed to Sakura's eyes, was pressed down with a touch of the ugly woman's thumb. a loud click was, and Sakura threw a confused look at Sasuke as his anguished scream rent the air.
"!!!!!"
"Say good bye to Juugo. and Anybody around him." Karin finished, laughing manically.
A loud scream reached Liu's ears, and he looked up as he sent a hard punch into the next weakling's face. It sent the larger man flying and he hit the ground on his ass. Akihiko froze, and Lin walked up to his right, stepping on wasted bodies, and looked to the south, in the direction of the scream.
"W-was.......was that......Uchiha-San?" She asked.
"It had to be...." Akihiko replied, "Sai and Lee are northeast form here. That sounded much closer. Hime-chan could be hurt!"
Liu jumped off into a running start, not answering, with worry etched over his normally calm visage. Lin followed suit.
Only to have pink come flying past.
Sakura turned her head back, slowing a little as her body twisted around to them. "find Juugo!! He's headed for Konoha!!!!! He has Hikaru! Hurry!!!!!!!!"
Lin and Liu turned as their sensei sped off, and split up. one to the right, the other to the left. Akihiko followed Sakura's trail.
--
"Sakura!!! You forgot to heal my fucking leg!!!!!!!" The injured Uchiha yelled out.
Sasuke growled. No matter how much chakra he pumped into his leg, he couldn't move it. And it was pissing him off even more.
Sakura, you bitch!!!!!!!!!
He sent a glare to the red head that was lying on the ground a few feet from him.
She had slammed her fist into her abdomen, successfully driving all the oxygen out of her body.
--
Flashback
"You bitch!!!!" The Uchiha's wife yelled, and launched herself at the ugly redhead, letting out a loud battle cry. Karin had no time to dodge or feint. Sakura's chakra enfused fist slammed into her abdomen, and blood and saliva flew from her mouth. The ex-Sound Nin rose a few feet in the air with the force of the blow, then she fell to the ground. Sakura bent down to finish the job.
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled, his voice full of anguish. She froze, seeing that he was fine.
She thought that when Karin had pushed that trigger in, it had done something to Sasuke.
"Find Juugo! He has Hikaru! You know what he can do when he changes! and that thing she had.....He can't control his anger....We have to stop him now....before he kills Hikaru! He's going to Konoha...Go!! Now!"
She then leaped past him, flying at top speed toward the trees, taking the route back toward Konoha.
end of flashback.
--
He tried to stand again. Only to go crashing down to the ground. He closed his eyes, waiting to feel the ground meet his face.
---
But it never happened. He was hoisted up by a pair of strong muscled arms. He looked up. Naruto Uzumaki.
"Dobe?" He wondered.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at his brother of sorts and best friend. "huh. well, if you're gonna act that way, I won't save your ass next time." He growled.
"No. How did you get here." He hissed.
"They didn't call my dad the Konoha flash for nothin'." He grinned. Lee came up on Naruto's right, along with Sai, who was holding Karin over his shoulder.
"Hn..."
"Ready, Hokage-Sama." Sai shouted.
"Then let's go." Sasuke threw an arm around his friends shoulder's, letting him have his hands for the necessary hand signs. then, the four of them disappeared.
--
Sakura did everything to keep herself from sobbing. Hikaru, where are you....!
As she thought those words, she saw Juugo's large hulking form. His hands were on his head, as if trying to dig into his skull. He clenched his orange hair as if wanting to rip it out.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!"
His yell made her wince.
"Juugo!" She yelled, seeing her baby boy lying on the ground. He was crying, and writhing in the blanket. She came up behind the crazed man, and as she ran by his left side, his arm appeared in front of her face.
Crunch!!!!!!!
She was sent flying, and she hit the ground rolling. Maniacal laughter reached her ears, and she slowly sat up. blood ran down her face. She lifted a hand, and felt her nose, only to find that it was broken. She clenched a fist, and stared at Juugo, who was now walking towards her with a menacing look on his face. His eyes were beginning to blacken, and his iris and pupils were beginning to turn a bright yellow.
"Juugo! Stop it, Please!" She yelled, quickly getting to her feet. "It's....It's me, Sakura Haruno! Your nurse!!! Remember!?" She dodged to the left as he leaped at her, and she made a run for it.
Juugo laughed loudly. a chill went up her spine. "I will kill you!!!!!!!!!!! Kill!!! Kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakura jumped off of the side of a tree, twisted her body, and pulled a handful of senbon out of her weapon's pouch on her thigh. She threw it with exact precision, and the sharpened needles embedded themselves into his large, muscled arms. He skidded to a stop in the wet dirt, and looked down at his now bleeding arms.
"That tickled. What else can you throw at me?"
Her eyes widened, then she concentrated all of her chakra into her arms, legs and feet. "This."
She tried to lure him away from her son, but Juugo seemed to figure out her plan. So, her only option left was to engage him where he was. She ran straight at him, with a determined look on her face. Then, as Juugo sneered, and reached out to grab her by the neck, she disappeared, as she drew a chakra infused fist back.
The forest was suddenly quiet. Then, the pinkette appeared behind him, and before he could turn, she slammed a leg into his back. It sent him foreward a few feet, sliding into the dirt, and he grunted in pain. His curse mark started growing. The black markings started to consume his skin, seeming to turn it into rock solid armor.
She disappeared again, and the reappeared in front of him, and threw a fist into his face. His head went backward, and he stepped backwards to keep his balance.
Then, she appeared once more; this time, above him. Her battle cry seemed to make the whole forest quake, and she laced her fingers together.
Chakra flowed into her fists at the last second, as she slammed them into his skull. A crack rang through the forest, reverberating off of the trees. Juugo fell to the ground, on his knees and face. he was out.
Sakura fell to one knee, holding her left wrist. She whimpered, and her face scrunched and twisted up into an expression of immense pain. Here wrist was now broken. She sent chakra through her body, toward the area of pain, and it instantly healed. She ran over to Hikaru, and scooped him up into her arms.
"Hikaru....!" She sobbed, and squeezed him to her. SHe pulled him away at arms length, to see if he was hurt, but there were only scrapes from where Juugo dropped him when the curse mark was released onto his mind and body. He was fine.
She then healed her broken nose, and winced in pain as it was set back into place.
A large amount of chakra suddenly started to spike behind her.
Juugo.....how?? She asked herself, and turned. Juugo was standing there, blood pouring from the head wound she gave him, and was smiling at her. He had officially lost it. The curse mark consumed his mind. He took a step towards her, and she turned Hikaru away from him. The small boy was still screaming, sensing the danger approaching once again. She put him down on the ground, on the other side of the tree, and cooed to him. Then she went back around, and stared the man down.
He took a running leap, coming at her at full speed.
She sent a fist into his face once again, but this time, even her chakra didn't help her. He kept coming. The blow glanced off of his cheek. His large hands were suddenly clasped around her throat.
She felt her life just ebbing away.
I HAVE to protect Ishin.....Hikaru.....
I can't move......
I can't breath.....
Sas-Sasuke!
She pumped the last vestiges of chakra into her hands, and shoved them onto the closest part of Juugo's blackened body she could reach: His chest. She sent that chakra into his body, and Juugo's grip on her throat relaxed.
Then, he screamed.
He dropped her, thus ending her assault on his insides.
"Sakura!!!!!!" Liu, Lin, and Akihiko dove at the pair. Sakura looked up. She shielded her face and body with an arm as Akihiko threw a leg out, catching the monster in the side of the head. Lin gave a loud battle cry, much like Sakura's own, and sent her fist into Juugo's neck. He was sent to her left a few feet, and he fell over.
Liu reached for his sensei as he hit the ground on his feet, and pulled her into his arms. Lin grabbed Hikaru, and they jumped away and landed into a tree.
He gently set Sakura down, and she wheezed. "You...can't stop him....." She whispered hoarsely. "The curse mark...."
Juugo stood up slowly, as if on cue. "What the fuck.....!?" Liu muttered under his breath.
Lin smiled, and pulled a scalpel out of her medic bag on her back. "Then I'll rip it off of him, Sensei." She made to leap off of the tree limb.
Akihiko reached out, diving for her hand. "Lin! NO!" He missed her hand, and she ignored his protest.
--
Naruto appeared out of nowhere in front of the girl. He grabbed her in one hand, and threw the Uchiha forward as he spun around. The Uchiha unsheathed his chukotu.
"Chidori Nagashi!!!!!!" The electrical current flowed frealy through the blade, and Sasuke narrowed his gaze on his target, who turned to him at the last minute.
"I'm sorry.....Juugo."
The blade slammed home, right into Juugo's middle. The large man's mouth gaped, and his eyes widened as blood started seeping out from between his thin lips. Sasuke withdrew his sword with brutal force as his feet connected with the dirt, and he tried to make his landing graceful. He took the brunt of it with his feet, and then feel on his ass. He used his chukotu to help him back up, leaning on it for support, as Juugo fell.
