Awakening

Chapter 2
A sense of urgency hung in the air as we quickly got rid of our fainted watchers. Changing into the uniform, I met my companion on a building overlooking the Kazekage's office at an appropriate angle.
"Got rid of your lot?" He asked me. I nodded.
"They'll never find them. You?" He nodded as well.
"You ready to do this?" He asked.
"I am ready." I replied, taking a deep breath. "Start the preparations."
My partner nodded and set to work on drawing a large circle around me. Using the stick that he had just made the circle with, he started etching runes into ground inside the circle and around me.
Points mark was a single-hit attack. If I missed, it was all over.
"Done." My companion said, once he was finished carving the last rune. I nodded silently, calming my mind.
I eradicated every single one of the things going through my brain while controlling my breath. I couldn't afford to lose focus.
I took a long deep breath. The window clearly showed the Kazekage sitting at his desk, reading some documents. The target was seated at the desk before him. If I made it go just over the Kazekage's shoulder, the attack would hit the target right in the heart.
I focused, calculating the wind resistance from the distance. It was flowing in my partner's direction, offering maximum resistance. I couldn't afford to miss this.
Blocking out all external voice, I took another deep breath, focusing my arm a bit under the Kazekage's shoulder. Owing to the wind resistance, it would 'miss' him and strike the target. I felt my heartbeat grow louder as it always did during this attack.
My companion watched me silently, standing stiffly. He knew even moving a single bit could distract me. I was grateful for that. He could be really patient when needed.
My eyes narrowed as sparks of lightning crackled on my hand. My arm grew extremely warm. Sizzling shades of blue, the lightning danced around as I felt my hand shake a bit. I had made up my mind and was just about to fire when-
"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" A voice startled me. I looked at the source of the noise, my mind distracted. The Kazekage stood beside me, staring at me with a fierce gaze. My companion's face never registered shock as a burst of sand sent him flying.
I felt my helplessness grow to new heights as lightning shot from my palm and struck the window. An invisible banner blocked the lightning for a few seconds before breaking from the pressure. The weakened bolt of lightning ricocheted around the entire office.
I could see that the target was not hit as the lightning died down. I looked back at the Kazekage who had never taken his eyes off me, apparently unconcerned with the well being of his sister.
"... Mother craves for your blood...I will have fun taking it..." The Kazekage said, in an inhuman tone. I jumped backwards only to find a pillar of sand which knocked me down to the ground.
"...I will take...every...last...bit..." The sand engulfed itself around me, forcing me into a kneeling position before the Kazekage. The Kazekage smirked, advancing towards me, missing my own smirk in return.
I tightened the hold on the sand as water burst from my wrists. Almost instantly, the sand dropped to the ground as mud. Free from the hold, I jumped upward, intending to kick the Kazekage backwards. However, a wall of sand blocked my kick and I was sent jumping higher than I had expected.
Landing awkwardly, I twisted my ankle. Clenching my teeth, I stared at the Kazekage, waiting for him to make a move.
He thrust his hand into the ground and I found my feet bound. He was at a tactical advantage with the sand around us. But I was no pushover.
Rabbit. Rat. Horse. Ram. Speeding through the hand seals, I thrust my hand at the ground. Lightning burst from the tip of my fingers and shot towards the Kazekage. His defensive wall emerged again. I smirked.
In conjunction with the water release I had used earlier, the lightning gained momentum and burst through the sand, striking the Kazekage.
My eyes widened in shock as I watched a bit of his skin crumple. Another defense. No wonder he was a Kazekage even at such a young age.
I couldn't escape now. Without my companion, fighting against the Kazekage would be an insurmountable task once reinforcements arrived. The alarm had already been sounded. Konoha would be in grave trouble because of us. I could almost hear Danzo-sama's voice.
"If everything goes wrong and your identity is made known. Destroy the strongest enemy you can find along with you. That's the only way left that will help the village for the hell you have brought upon it by failing."
Strongest enemy. That was obviously the Kazekage. I inhaled deeply. There was no other choice. I had to use that technique.
While I had been contemplating my next move, I hadn't noticed a few Suna-nin arrive beside the Kazekage. I growled. Reinforcements had already arrived. This was going to make things much harder.
Luckily, my reinforcement arrived as well. My companion burst through from the roof of a nearby building and landed on this one, beside me.
"Sorry...I was a bit busy taking care of some idiots." My partner said. I nodded.
"What do you have in mind?" He asked, surveying the Suna-nin and the Kazekage in the middle of them.
"I-" It seemed like the Kazekage had different plans. With a small swipe of his hand, he sent everyone flying, including his own shinobi. I landed hard on the merciless sand which started surrounding me as I struggled to break free.
"Nobody touches this one but me..." The Kazekage said, tilting his face to the side, a mad expression on it. He smiled as he approached me. The sand started drowning me faster and I struggled helplessly until-
"Water Release: Water Drowning Technique" My companion yelled, as a large stream of water engulfed me along with the sand. I coughed, gagging from the sand in my mouth. Spitting on the ground, I stood up shakily.
My partner had taken a large blow on his shoulder due to him concentrating on my predicament. Blood was flowing freely from the useless arm and I could see that he wouldn't hold out much longer. Crouching slightly, I rushed through seals before aiming at my companion. The Suna-nin and the Kazekage watched, surprised by me aiming at my own partner.
"Wind Release: Divine Wind!" I said, as a gust of wind burst forth from my palm.
"What are yo- Aghhg" My partner gagged as he was sent flying from the attack while trying to dodge. It was for his own good.
I turned back, only to find the Kazekage staring back into my eyes, a wild grin on his face. I cursed. The earlier technique had taken off a huge chunk of my chakra. I just hoped there was enough to use my last resort.
In a split second, I reached forward to grab the Kazekage. His expression administered surprise as I rushed forward faster than his defensive wall of sand. I smiled. It was a special technique that Danzo-sama had taught me which utilized the Wind element to force my limbs faster. It was only good as a last resort surprise attack as it was extremely draining for the muscles in my limbs.
A small spark went off when I grabbed his hand and I think my face had enough time to register shock before my vision darkened completely...
