Chapter Four: Falling Down
Recap
Tenten and I formed an 'o' with our mouths. "And so your own brother is out to kill you?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Pretty much…" Sasuke muttered.
"So what are we going to do about this Sound Five problem?" Neji asked.
Sasuke sighed. "Keep your guard up. That's all I can say." Sasuke said and I felt an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
Something was going to happen, and didn't seem good either. Whose guard will be let down?
Recap
Naruto slurped down some more noodles before he let out a satisfied sigh. "Lets go, I'm all done!" he chirped.
"Right." Neji mumbled. Everyone stood up from their stools and we left the stand. As we walked towards our bikes, we walked past an alley way. I heard noises from that direction and stopped.
"Did you guys hear that?" I furrowed my brows. I didn't get any answers, and started to walk down the alley.
"Sakura! Wait!" I heard Tenten calling and she ran up to me. We walked side by side. I could hear Sasuke sigh and signal for the gang to follow us, and they did.
"I wonder what you heard…" Tenten muttered.
"I heard something I swear!" I exclaimed. We were at a dead end. Garbage cans were everywhere, they were tipped over.
The gang crowded around. "Maybe it was a cat knocking down some garbage cans?" Hinata suggested.
"I guess your right…" I sighed.
"I wouldn't think so." We heard from in front of us, or in some people's case; behind us.
Hatake spun around so fast you couldn't even blink. There stood twenty two gang members. Sound Five, Blood Shedders, and Akatsuki. The people's eyes rested on Tenten and me.
"Joining Hatake…what a bad choice. You should know many gangs target them." Kabuto smirked. "And now you will be targeted too." He finished.
"What the hell do you want?" Sasuke growled at the criminals.
"Your lives." Zaku stated simply.
"Che. More high school students? I guess I can't be a sensei anymore, now can I." Itachi muttered. "Eh, Sasuke…why do you put ladies in danger?" Itachi asked his brother, kind of in a scolding type older brotherly manner.
"Quite the opposite." Sasuke shot at him.
"Foolish little brother." Itachi sighed. "When will you learn that girls simply can't beat guys? Don't have so much faith in things; especially when your life is on the line."
My blood boiled. He called all girls weak. What a sexist… "Fucking sexist." I murmured, so no one could hear. But Tenten did and she started laughing. I looked at her like she was crazy, as did everyone else. And I stepped on her foot. She stopped and gasped in pain.
"Shit! Sakura what the hell?" she whined as she hopped on one foot.
I rolled my eyes. "See she can't even take a the pain from a mere foot being stepped on." Kabuto snickered. Tenten stopped hopping.
"If you have something to say, say it to my fucking face." Tenten hissed. As she pointed a finger at Kabuto.
"Like you could do anything." Kabuto shot at Tenten.
"Want to bet?" Tenten snarled.
My eyes widened and I held Tenten's shoulders. I so did not want Tenten to out lash…it would cause a scene.
"I bet I can beat you in a fight." Kabuto stated and Tenten blew. I couldn't hold her, and she lunged at Kabuto.
"You're on!" she screamed as she sent a fist to his face. He didn't have time to react and the fist made contact with his skin, he flew back a couple feet. "How's that?" she asked in a sickening sweet voice. I cringed.
"Well, let's get this started?" Itachi asked and lunged at one of us. So did everyone else.
Temari had Zaku, and Orochimaru attacking her. Tenten was fighting Kabuto and Tayuya. Hinata was fighting Kimimaru, and Sakon. Ino was fighting Dosu, and Misume. Kiba was fighting Mubi, and Yoroi. Neji was fighting Jiroubou, and Kidoumaru. Shikamaru was fighting Hidan, and Kazuko. Naruto was fighting Tobi and Zetsu. Sasuke was fighting Itachi, Kisame, and Konan. And lastly I was fighting Deidara, Sasori and Pein.
Deidara and Sasori threw punches at both of my sides. I caught them just as Pein came and threw a kick at my face. I swung Deidara and Sasori in front of me, blocking the kick. Pein hit his team members instead of me and they hissed in pain. I released their fists and jumped back. They came at me again. Now with a combination of kicks, and punches. Sasori tied to drop kick me and I jumped over his swinging leg. Deidara tried to kick out my ankles but I punched his stomach. Then Pein tried to hold me down, he put his hands over mine, and pulled them behind me.
Sasori and Deidara took advantage of my immobility and tried to punch and kick my stomach. As their evilly smiling faces drew nearer, I jumped into the air and kicked their faces in. Pein let go of me as I swung my body around so my foot hit his back, he fell to the ground. The three idiots kept attacking me; soon I jumped away from them and took in the situation.
What I saw surprised me. Everyone was on the ground, either unconscious, or maybe they were dead. My heart sank at the sight. The other gang members were down as well, except for Akatsuki. They narrowed on me. I took in a deep breath and took in a fighting position.
"Such a shame. Sakura you're such a good math student." Itachi mocked and then smirked.
Deidara ran at me, and was about to kick my face in, when someone kicked him. That would be Tenten's cue! She slid into the little fighting circle and kicked Deidara's ankles under him; he fell to the ground with a loud 'thump.'
"Always saving your ass." Tenten muttered.
I smiled at her as she took a fighting position next to me. "Who else would?" I asked innocently.
The Akatsuki stood there for a second, astonished by our stamina. "Not too bad, girls. You even went further than Sasuke." Pein stated.
The Akatsuki members reached into their robes. What if they have guns? I thought this over quickly in m head before reaching for under my converse. Tenten followed my actions. On the bottom of my shoe was a piece of duck tape, but what was under their was an old summoning technique. They used to have ninjas way back when, and they had chakra they were able to access, so they could do these inhuman things. Tenten and I had learned the way of the ninja in the Sound, some weird guy we found on the side of the road taught us.
I did some hand techniques and out came a pouch, Tenten did the same. We placed the pouches on our right hip and reached our hand into it. We pulled out shuriken, and threw them at the Akatsuki. Surprisingly they threw some too. The medal clashed together and then Akatsuki charged at us.
By now I knew that they could use chakra, because Sasori was sending chakra strings towards us. So I knew not to go easy on the technique use. The strings came towards me and I let them hit. I then used my chakra to take control over the strings, and I slammed Sasori into a wall. He got off of the ground he had falling onto and summoned some puppets.
Itachi threw fire at me, and I made a chakra shield. All sorts of chakra based techniques flew at Tenten and me, I was able to counter attack all of the attacks. But Tenten was almost hit by a bomb made by Deidara. She fell to the ground, and screamed out in pain. Her whole right leg was burnt. I stared in horror as she hissed and Akatsuki members kept attacking her. One of Sasori's puppets was about to clobber me until I started running to Tenten's aid. I bent over her protectively as Itachi threw fire at us, but when I thought the fire would've hit, it didn't.
I looked up and saw sand surrounding us. And there wasn't only sand, but three people. They must've been Gaara, Matsuri, and Kankuro. The sand fell to the ground and we were able to see the Akatsuki.
My eyes traveled from the Akatsuki to Tenten, who was holding her right leg. I placed my hands over her wound, and focused. Soon my chakra flowed out of me in a green glow and healed Tenten's burn.
"Thanks." I heard Tenten mutter and I smiled kindly at her.
"Now I'm saving your ass!" I exclaimed and stood up. So did Tenten.
Akatsuki looked worn out. They saw that three more people had arrived, and they knew they might not have any energy for another fight. So they poofed away.
"Wow." I muttered. Tenten nodded in agreement. "Er, thanks?" I asked the trio sheepishly.
"No problem!" Matsuri chirped.
"Holy shit! Sakura look at Hatake!" Tenten shook my shoulders. I did as she said and looked at them almost everyone had a pool of blood around them.
"Fuck!" I muttered and reached into my pouch. I brought out a scroll and did a couple of hand signs. Some medical supplies popped out and I threw some to Tenten. She caught them easily and nodded.
Tenten ran over to Hinata; who was closest to her. I ran to Ino. Ino had a long gash on her forehead; I immediately placed my hands on her head and focused my chakra into her. Soon she was healed and she sat up. Tenten was bandaging up Hinata's arm; it had a long cut on it. I gave Ino a pill and she gladly took it.
"Thanks." She managed to croak out. I simply nodded and headed over to Shikamaru. Gaara and Kankuro were bandaging up Temari; she had cuts everywhere. Matsuri was healing Kiba; it looked like his arm was broken.
While I went to Shikamaru Tenten went to Neji. He only looked to be passed out from a hard blow. So she simply gave him so pills and he woke up.
Shikamaru had a busted lip, a broken leg, and a cut on his cheek. I fixed his leg first and in seconds I healed his face. He coughed and his eyes fluttered open. His gaze went from my face to his once broken leg; he jumped up and gasped at the fact that he could walk.
Then he saw Naruto lying next to him and dropped by him. He checked for a pulse.
"Sakura…" Shikamaru whispered. "He's losing a pulse." He stated. I ran over and knelt down. My hands traveled over his body; my chakra flowed into him checking for injuries. His right lung was punctured. I placed my hands on his chest and closed my eyes. Soon green flowed over his torso and he started to breath normally again.
"Sakura-chan…?" Naruto murmured. He coughed and then sat up. "What happened?" he asked as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Ow."
I smiled at him and I was about to speak when I heard Tenten yell. "Sakura!" I looked up and saw everyone crowded around something….
"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto shouted as he hopped onto his feet and ran over to the crowd. Shikamaru and I were n his heels.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I stood by everyone.
"It's Sasuke. I don't have enough chakra to heal him!" Matsuri exclaimed. My eyes widened at this information. I pushed everyone aside and knelt down by Sasuke.
I took in his condition. He had a couple of broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken arm and leg, and a deep cut over his abdomen. My hands went right away to his lung. I concentrated really hard and soon enough chakra was flowing from my hands. The green light was bright and then it started to fade.
"Fuck!" I muttered and focused harder, it was no use. I was losing chakra; and fast.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Tenten asked worry was evident in her eyes.
"I don't have enough chakra either." I murmured and closed my eyes. "If I don't heal at least his lung he will die." I whispered.
"Nani?" Naruto mumbled. He knelt beside Sasuke as well; he was sitting opposite of me. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked. I looked into his saddened eyes and thought it over.
"Naruto I need you to place your hands over mine. And think of how much you want to save Sasuke. Then focus your energy into your hands." I commanded Naruto. He did as I told him to do, and soon there was green emitting from my hands again.
After the lung was healed I went over the broken ribs, then the deep cut. Then I moved my hands; as well as Naruto's; over his broken arm. After all of that I went over his broken leg.
I stopped focusing on his now healed injuries and pulled my hands away. Naruto did the same. I pulled out another pill from my pouch and stuffed it into Sasuke's mouth. His eyes opened as he swallowed the black pill. "What the hell?" he said.
I smiled at him and stood up. I stretched and got back my medical things back from Tenten. I put them in my pouch and made a few hand signs; as did Tenten. The pouch's disappeared, and was replaced with papers. We re-taped those papers to the bottoms of our shoes.
"What a day!" I muttered and Tenten nodded. All of Hatake was looking at us. Sasuke was also now standing up.
"What the hell? How did you guys stay standing?" Ino asked.
I smirked. "Cause' we're ninja!" I chirped.
"I was being serious." Ino muttered.
"So were we. We're ninja." Tenten stated. I nodded in agreement.
Hatake looked dumb founded.
