"Possibilities"
Chapter 6
"Moment of Truth"
"I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm sure I can repeat them exactly."
Each senbon lodged deep within his calf, but it wasn't enough to slow down the beast for at least ten more minutes when the poison would start to spread fully throughout his body. Sakura counted as she dodged attacks, her hand slipped and she was thrown back from the force, she ignored the bother of nursing her tender stomach in case of a loss of chakra.
The best howled, slashing for her face, legs, arms, anywhere he could reach her.
Using a chakra scalpel with her hands, Sakura slashed across the beast's abdomen and jumped back quickly. Lining up fast hand motions Sakura called a Cherry Blossom Impact as she gathered chakra in her fist, slamming into the barren ground creating a tear in each direction and a catastrophic earthquake that crumbled the ground. The beast flew back, rumbled by the upturned ground that damaged his legs.
Jin continued to grow fierce in anger, blazing red eyes bulged at the pinkett analyzing her next move in anticipation for his next attack.
Sakura screamed when fire blazed up her left arm, a rope of flames followed to where the beast gripped the other end. It shredded through her skin, eating its own way up and around her shoulders damaging her left hand and arm severely. Yanking at the rope with her right hand, Sakura threw the beast up and the rope followed leaving her body and went up into the air. It disappeared when the beast landed, fizzing up as though it was dosed with water as steam rose into the cool night.
Sakura tested her left hand as it hung in ashed clothes blackened by the heat, a searing pain caused her to gasp as she used a little bit of chakra to mend the torn muscles.
Angered by the sudden attack the beast struggled to stand as the poison finally appeared to effect his body, Sakura cursed and ran towards the scorching beast that had suddenly started to heal itself within a cavern of flames. Using her enhanced strength Sakura vaulted forward cracking the beasts skull with the advantage she had from jumping into the fire. Being thrown back from the outbreak of sparks and a choked growl, the impact of the ground knocked the wind from her lungs and the world darkened while the air held a slight tinge of burnt skin.

"God damn hill," coughed the blond. His feet smacked the concrete while his legs weighed him down into a crumbling heap. When he finally got the chance he collapsed in front of the arch at the top of the hill. "I hate you Tsunade," he screeched waking the birds from the tree tops as they spread out into the morning sky.
"Uzumaki-san?" Naruto slowly peered up at the slender woman dressed in a dazzling yellow kimono, he nodded. "Please come with me," watching her walk away Naruto groaned smacking his face back into the ground, fearing that his limbs would fall off from more effort.
Standing lethargically Naruto galloped over to where the woman disappeared, he spotted her brown hair that was pulled into a low pony tail and followed that.
His mission was to go passed Tanzaku Quarters where Tsuande-baa-chan would go gamble on the weekends, around the Forest of Death where the second part of the Chunin Exams were held, and then near the boarder of the forest between Otogakure(Land of Sound) and Kumogakure(Land of Lightning) where he would meet up with a mysterious Jounin named Montaro. Naruto balanced, raising his eyebrows at the thought. Mostly it was just a long travel, but he had no idea what he had to do after he met the other Shinobi. Tsuande had told him that Montaro had the other half of the mission, but Naruto dolefully asked questions anyways.
Right now Naruto slouched along the trail in between Tenzaku Quarters, and the Forest of Death, a short cut that he wished he had not taken. Sure it would cut a few days from his trip, but going up hill for a day straight was hell.
Naruto's moaned when steamed suffocated the air increasing the heat winding around his head, but his cerulean eyes lightened at the sight of the shrines hot springs. The kimono clad woman giggled as Naruto ran up ahead, blushing at his shirtless form she twisted a loose strand of brown hair around her finger.

Shizune knocked then entered the room as Tsuande pushed aside the men gathered at her table, excusing them from her room.
"We've got word from Hanadayori," Shizune exclaimed. A small smile flickered across Tsuande's face as she read the letter, Shizune stood eagerly beside the Hokage.
"She sustained minor injuries and burns, but I'm glad she was able to take care of one of Orochimaru's left over play things so quickly," Shizune nodded in agreement. "She's doing fine," sighed the Hokage watching the letter catch in flames falling to her desk in withered pieces of ash.

Rain pelted the backs of men lined in rows upon rows of sullen bodies loitering the ground. My eyes pierced the sky that reflected the blood splattered dirt where there once stood vibrant sun flowers colors of pinks, purples, and yellows that were now washed away by the stench of death. I casted my face aside, the sight too gruesome for my senses to devour and drink in, but as I stared at a small white scar that smoothed over the skin of my thumb and shone in the light yet it was barely noticeable... it pooled blood. Seeping from the healed over cut pushed out droplets of red liquid that dripped down my hand. The kunai clutched in my hand was covered and my arm felt numb, I looked back to the battle ground blurs of eyes cascaded all around me. My head felt light, a fist aimed at my face painted colors in front of my eyes. The screams echoed, the screams surrounded me laughing and prodding at my skin.
Blue eyes obstructed my sight after everything had gone black, I blinked but they were still there.
"Haruno-san, are you alright?" I watch lips move, the sounds of voiced lingering in the back of my head. "Haruno-san," I blink again and the sounds are becoming louder to my ears. A sharp smacking boom clears my head, I look around hesitantly. "Kelio I need some help," yells the woman with the blue eyes and another woman rushes in gasping.
I think I need to lay down again.
