Innocence
Chapter 20 REWRITTEN
Shikamaru and Sasuke were quick to set their backs to each other, holding a kunai each, turning to peer into the dark forest around them. Laughter echoed towards them, and a figure slowly stepped forward out of the bush, revealing a large straw hat. It was the long haired ninja from grass.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Sasuke asked harshly, tense, and on guard.
The grass-nin laughed his eerie laugh, "Kukukuku, Sasuke-kun….I want you." The Uchiha blanched, not even trying to imagine why the pedophile wanted him.
Shikamaru stood beside him made a small sound, a little tiny, "Ewe" but it was enough for the foreign ninja to notice, and it also brought his - her? - attention. The freaks suspiciously long tongue exited his mouth and proceeded to lick his bottom lip, smiling widely.
The person took off their overly large hat and pulled out an earth scroll. The one they needed.
"Do you want this?" she asked, and not even waiting for an answer, she stuck out her incredibly long tongue, and swallowed it. Shikamaru shivered at the sight, and Sasuke watched on as the bulge went down her throat in a sort of irresistible horror.
"Now Sasuke-kun, lets play!" suddenly the woman flew at him at incredible speed, bringing out a kunai.
"Owiiie…that hurt!" The groan came from little Narue, who lied still across a tree root. The wind had flung her away from her team had slammed her into numerous trees and finally she had landed on this root, not the most comfortable ride.
Sitting up, she dazedly looked around, trying to make the world not upside-down. When she succeeded, there was silence in the empty clearing for a moment, and she began to get a little unnerved.
"Shika-kun?" her voice echoed back to her, halting any other words as she listened to it. A squirrel chattered at her somewhere farther up the tree, and she turned to watch him move in and out of his hole.
The peace was broken however, when a great crashing noise to her left interrupted it. Out through the trees a great creature came, it slithered to a stop before her, towering up hundreds of feet.
A Giant Snake.
Narue could not move because something stirred beneath her heart, something she could not name. This unknown feeling soon boiled up and suddenly burst out on the poor creature.
"SNAKY-CHAAAAAAAN!" the tiny girl ran up the side of her tree until she was level with the snakes head, and then she leaped. Falling flat on her face in the middle of the snake's forehead, Narue smiled and snuggled to it, arms widespread in a hug, sprawling out ike a brightly colored blemish on the greenish brow scaly skin. She had suddenly gotten big hearts for eyes and she rubbed the side of her face against the brownish green scales.
Of course, the snake, finding a tiny blonde person on his face hugging him, immediately adopted a kind of, 'What the Fuck' expression before he tried to whip her off.
Narue held on tightly with some chakra, and shimmied up to the snake's eye, it was the size of her head.
"Snaky Chan likes being my pet, and will help me get to my friends." Narue channeled some chakra into the snake's brain, causing incredible pain.
"Isn't that right Snaky-chan?" the fearsome warrior smiled brightly into the agonizing snake's eye, forever burning her image into his memory. Quickly, the snake swung his head up and down as a sign of yes and the girl let up on her chakra torture.
Turning around, Narue sat cross-legged on the snake's forehead, imperiously pointing her finger and commanding, "Snaky-chan, move out!"
Snake and girl disappeared into the foliage, leaving behind one very terrified squirrel.
Back with Shikamaru and Sasuke, they seem to be having some trouble with the long haired freak of a woman. Shikamaru had been kicked in the side, and the momentum sent him flying into a tree. Now he was clutching his stomach and coughing, blood erupting from his mouth.
Sasuke was no better; a punch to the jaw had sent him into a crater in the side of the tree. The woman followed after him, still quietly chuckling to himself. They were being beaten into the ground, and there was no chance for escape.
"Come now Sasuke-kun, your better than this, how will you defeat your brother with your strength like this?" the mention of his brother gave the right effect, the Uchiha's face darkened and his Sharingan suddenly sprang to life, whirling in his eyes, two comma-like dots in each.
"DON'T EVER MENTION HIM IN FRONT OF ME!!" he sprang forward, faster than ever, ignoring the cry from Shikamaru to stop. The woman smiled eerily, waiting for the survivor to reach him, and then blocking the foot that was sent to his face.
A taijutsu battle proceeded with the woman playing with the Uchiha, and it eventually ended when Sasuke tricked her into falling for his Ninja Wire and Fire Ninjutsu. (AN: no idea what it's called.) Sasuke smirked as the charred remains of the girl's corpse fell from the tree. It fell however when the remains melted into mud, and a breath sounded against his ear.
"Sasuke-kun, you didn't think I would fall for that would you?" When Sasuke jumped away and turned to her, he was soon joined by Shikamaru, who put a hand on his shoulder. The raven haired boy brushed it off and glared at the woman, Sharingan spinning angrily.
She spoke, smiling a sickeningly sweet smile, "Tsk, Tsk Sasuke-kun, how about I calm that little fighting spirit of yours? No matter how delightful it is." She grinned and suddenly sent an ocean of Killer Intent at the two boys, sending them to their knees.
"Kanashibari no Jutsu." (AN: is this the right one? well, there just frozen by her killer intent okay?)
Sasuke shook uncontrollably, different scenes of his own death flashing before his eyes. A kunai to the head, burn to death, slit throat. Her K.I. is even worse than Kakashi's! Both boys felt as if it would smother them. The woman laughed and decided to get rid of the other boy, the one with the spiky hairstyle, but not without playing with him a little.
She drew three kunai, and sent one right beside Shikamaru's face, drawing a deep red line that bled down his cheek. He felt the pain, but was unable to do anything, frozen in fear. Another imbedded itself in his leg, and the last stuck his shoulder. His blood ran sticky red trails down his arms, and he was released by the overcoming pain.
Thinking quickly, he pulled out the metal in his leg with a sickening slick sound. As his vision began to water he thought he saw a blonde mess hurtling out of the bushes below, and in the direction of the boys.
'She's too strong! We'll die!' Sasuke tried to stretch his hand to his kunai pouch, something Kakashi had said flashing underneath his deaths.
"To break out of the control of K.I. you either have to be used to it, or cause yourself pain." Kakashi said, flipping a page in his book.
Just before he got to a kunai, there was a crashing noise to the left; he couldn't see anything but he heard a familiar voice.
"Sasuke-kun! Shika-Kun! Are you alright? Leave them alone you big meanie!" Narue, she was beside him, he could feel her presence, like a ray of sunshine felt on your skin. He heard the whispered healing jutsu as she tried to get the kunai out of Shikamaru's shoulder.
"Kukukuku, too late Narue-chan. I would love to play with the kyuubi container, but I'm afraid I must leave." Narue gasped when the grass nin's neck suddenly extended, mouth gaping wide. She shot her head right at Sasuke, intending to bite him and that's just when Narue's vision turned to red.
The blonde girl intercepted the grass nin's strike, and aimed a chakra punch to her head. She moved out of the way, but had to move again when Narue leaped after her.
Once the woman's concentration was broken, both Shikamaru and Sasuke were free of her K.I. they saw Narue jumping after the woman, exchanging punches and kicks, and from their point of view, Sasuke and Shikamaru could see that her once caring and bubbly blue eyes were now red and slitted. Just like what happened in wave.
"Narue!" Shikamaru stepped forward, he was halted though when the woman kicked the blonde girl in the chest so she collided with the pineapple haired boy. The blonde groaned into the boy's chest, lifting her head to glare at the woman.
"Who are you?" even her voice was changed, it was rough and ghoulish, anger radiating off her in waves, "you feel like a snake!" the woman laughed.
"How about I show you, little jinchuuriki?" the woman reached up, and to the horror of the Team, peeled off her face like it was a glove, revealing pasty white skin, golden, slitted eyes and purple eye shadow that reached down to his nose. (AN: eww)
"I am Orochimaru." Shikamaru and Sasuke gasped, and Narue's glare deepened. All three recognized the name, but for different reasons. Shikamaru and Sasuke knew from remembering back to their academy days to a lecture on the Sannin, and Narue knew from when Jiraiya and Tsunade had gotten drunk one night, and blabbered to their young daughter.
Orochimaru spoke again, "Now Sasuke-kun, I'm going to leave you a little present." Once again, he extended his neck, and once more, was stopped by a snarling Narue.
Her hair had been released from her pig-tails and now was being flung wildly about; the red chakra of the kyuubi whirling around her, her eyees glowing red angrily.
"Don't you, hurt my FAMILY!" Narue roared, suddenly appearing beneath Orochimaru, swinging her leg up and putting all her strength and chakra behind it, kicking the snake-man. The carvings on her leg bracer glowed golden for a moment, and Orochimaru was knocked into the air, the kick suddenly being three times as stronger as the kicks before.
At one point, Orochimaru grabbed Narue's leg, and flung her to a tree, immediately appearing to kick her in the side. Snake-man proceeded to hammer Narue from all sides, thoroughly beating her, not once letting her breath.
Shikamaru and Sasuke could only watch as their teammate was pummeled into the air. Shikamaru had given up trying to get the kunai out of his leg, and watched in frightened dismay as the one he cared about most was crushed by a fruitcake. (HINT HINT)
Sasuke was still frozen, and sad to say was still petrified of the grass nin.
'We'll never defeat her, she's too strong! Maybe if we surrendered he'd leave us alive!" Sasuke trembled as he got the scroll out of his pouch and called to the grass nin.
"Stop! If we give you our scroll will you leave us alone?" even his voice uneven with fear, and all those around him looked in surprise at his pale face. Sasuke's eyes flickered to Narue, and for some reason his heart faltered when her beautiful eyes showed confusion and….betrayal?
"Sasuke you moron! He'll kill us without a second thought you imbecile! Are you that cowardly Uchiha?!" Shikamaru yelled at him harshly, glowering at him with a strange and unfamiliar look of anger and disappointment.
Sasuke twitched; flashes of how much, and how long he had been training, and was it all for naught, would it all be for this moment, when he cowered?! Something inside him suddenly became overwhelmed with disgust and contempt for himself. Was he so weak he'd be afraid of this creep? He was an Uchiha dammit! AN UCHIHA!
Sasuke's eyes bled into red, his Sharingan had finally awakened. (After several YEARS!) He charged the woman/man head long; bring out the two little scrolls Kakashi had given him. In a quick movement, he had run a little blood up the opening, and with a poof, the scrolls released their occupants.
Two large shuriken suddenly emerged out of the cloud of smoke, but these were no ordinary shuriken. They were about 10x the size of a regular one and had serrated edges. They shot like bullets towards the Sannin, who smirked and dodged to the left, ignoring the weapons.
"Now now, Sasuke-kun, what makes you think I'll fall for tha—" he broke off when another large shuriken type thing came out from behind him, formerly hidden by the foliage.
He dodged to the right, and found another spinning at his face. Orochimaru bent his upper body and found Narue there suddenly; golden glowing leg raised and in a split second, collided with his face. The snake-man's body shot into a tree branch, and laid there still. Narue and Sasuke stopped attacking, watching the body for any tricks.
They were almost relieved until the corpse on the branch melted into a mud clone, and the real Orochimaru appeared in front of Narue.
The girl had no time to counter before the man had stuck his glowing purple fingers into her stomach, right into the seal.
Orochimaru laughed when Narue cried out in pain, and watched as her body fell to the tree, curled around her stomach. Shikamaru yelled wordlessly as she tumbled, Sasuke gaping, above him in another tree.
Narue was barely awake, as her vision darkened, she heard Orochimaru giggle in his insane, disgusting way, and she fought to wake herself. Orochimaru moved away from the girl, his eyes rested on Sasuke and he smirked.
Sasuke, who was still caught up in the sight of the unstoppable Narue curled in pain on the branch, didn't notice the four snakes that slithered around the tree to position themselves around him.
A sign from Oro, and the snakes struck, tightening their muscled bodies around the Uchiha's arms and legs, holding him still.
"What?!" Sasuke's eyes were wide as he looked at Orochimaru, who began the chain of handseals he had done twice before.
The snake-man's neck extended, shooting incredibly fast for the pinned down Sasuke's neck.
Narue opened her eyes blearily, barely managing to hold onto fleeting consciousness. The seal burned, her head pounded and she could see Orochimaru stretching towards Sasuke. She couldn't move, only watch in horror as one of her precious people was bitten, flinching at his scream of unbearable pain, and yet, she could do NOTHING!!
At that moment, Narue was in more pain than Sasuke.
HOLY HELL!
