Chapter 27
Sana's POV
"Is that the best you got?" A woman who must have been no more than eighteen cooed as she dodged a kunai aimed for her head.
Sana could only smirk at the stupidity the woman was expressing thinking she had the upper hand in the situation. Before giving her opponent any time to perform any of her own attacks, Sana spun on her heel and stuck her leg out, letting her foot collide against the woman's exposed chest. The woman barely had time to bring her arms up to deflect the kick before she was sent flying through the air.
Instead of watching the enemy collided against multiple buildings and bringing them down on top of her, Sana turned around and went to her next opponent. Just as she was about to jump out of her empty battle field, chakra signatures hit her and right when she blinked, her empty battle field was filled with at least ten enemy ninja. They all wore grins on their faces and they all just happened to be males.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" One of the guys asked. He wore all black and had a plain black headband tied around his head, resting on his forehead. His dark colored eyes locked with Sana's bright green ones and his stance was a surprisingly calm one.
Sana froze at the sight of him and her hands curled into fists at her sides. She could feel her nails dig into her palms and felt a hot liquid bead at the wounds she was making. She didn't say anything but kept her eyes on the guys.
"Are you happy to see us again, little ninja?" A different guy asked, his voice coming from behind her.
"'Cuz we sure are surprised to see you." Another guy said.
With all of their taunting, Sana only moved her narrowed eyes to where each voice spoke. "How did you get out of prison?" Sana asked, trying her hardest to keep her voice calm although it held a hence of worry and irritation. She kept her attention on the one in front of her, the guy who spoke first as she tried to think of a plan to escape her current fight. She once got away from them only because Naruto helped her with it. Being on her own, there was a slim chance she would make it.
A guy with short, spiked up blue hair with a scar running across his face spoke, "You know, a little bit of this, a little bit of that." Without even having to face him, Sana could almost hear him shrug.
A different voice, this one having a distinct rough voice, added, "You have to know your people."
Sana suppressed a shiver, having hated his voice above all of the others. Memories of her time with these particular guys came flooding back to her mind and trying as hard as she could, forced them back. She wasn't going to let these guys get to her, no matter what. Just continue to question them, find out more information, and pray somebody comes and helps her. "It doesn't matter who you know," She said, "It's nearly impossible to get out of Physalis Castle." Everyone knew the prison was one of the most guarded places in all of the land. Nearly impossible to break out of.
"Like I said," the same guy said, "it all depends on who you know."
"Enough talk about the past," the guy in front of her said, waving his hand in the air as if to wave it aside, "I believe we have a score to settle with you, Sana Uzumaki. And it's about time it is settled."
There was no way Sana could stall anymore. All at once, the group of ten launched themselves at the girl, weapons and attacks raised. All she could do was stand there and hope for the best.

Naruto's POV
The kunai dropped from his grasp and fell beside the bloodied, crumpled form in from of him. Heavy breathing came from the both of them, one gasping for oxygen while the other tired after a long battle. The one laying on the ground slowly tilted his head up and set his gaze on the winner.
"It seems… y-you've w-won this time, B-blondie." Keith managed to muster up as blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth. His body twitched and he tried to hide the look of pain by smirking. "But d-don't be too s-sure… next time." A cough erupted through him, sending his body into a spasm. His eyes flickered to the back of his head to where only the white showed. After a minute or two, he regained his composure and his eyes went back to normal, if not a little more tired.
Naruto did not grin nor frown but had a neutral expression on his face. His opponent had done a number on him, but it was nowhere compared to what he did on his opponent. He stood tall with his back straight and tried to ignore the pain in his side where he knew at least two cracked ribs were. Cuts and gashes covered the rest of his body with a thin line of blood seeping through most of them. Some of them were already dry and crusted while others were still running freely. The worst one he had on him was at his thigh. Keith's hammer managed to slice him up, almost taking a good chuck of skin and muscle with it. Luckily, Naruto had been on his toes and got away with just the gash.
Compared to what Keith did to Naruto, going the other way, Naruto did a lot more damage. There was not one spot on the man where blood was not. All down his face the blood seeped where a gash started from his hair line and went horizontal. His nose was broken and his jaw almost dislocated. His left leg and right arm were both fractured, almost on the verge of being broken and his right leg torn to shreds as if a vicious dog had gotten to him. The man could not stand and probably wouldn't be able to the rest of his life, being if he lived long enough to even see tomorrow. A deep hole about the size of a fist was located on Keith's lower stomach where Naruto's Rasengan had managed to go all of the way through his flesh when Keith had lowered his guard.
"There won't be a next time," Naruto told his dying opponent. Keith lost a bit of his smirk. "You are finally defeated, Keith. There is no way you are walking away from this, not this time. The crimes you've committed, the people who died by your hands, have finally been revenged for. So there won't be a next time." Turning around, Naruto began to walk away, leaving the man to bleed out and die by himself. He barely got anywhere when Keith called out to him.
"I may b-be dying… But that d-d-doesn't mean any-anything. E-even after I... Even after I die, more i-innocent p-people will c-continue to die. Mi-might not be by m-my hands, but b-by my w-weapons. A-and your f-family is g-going first…" He stuttered the last part, having difficulty trying to get the words out past all of the blood.
Naruto stopped and slowly turned around. "What weapons?" He asked, knowing not to take this lightly. His opponent was smart and simple, sharp weapons were something too straightforward for him. Knowing him, he probably tweaked a dagger or added something to them. They could even be covered in an acid. Going back to stories he heard about this man, take everything seriously and never let down your guard down.
The smirk came back and Keith looked Naruto straight in the eye. "A-and why w-would I tell you?" He asked. He took a shallow breath through his mouth.
Growing tense, Naruto stalked over to the dying man and got down on one knee. He reached out and roughly grabbed Keith by the neck and pulled him forward until they were mere inches apart. His eyes narrowed and he growled out, "What weapons?"
But Keith continued to smile and slowly closed his eyes. "W-what are you going to… to do… Kill me?" A throaty laugh sounded before it was covered up as he choked on blood. Coming out in a raspy voice when he managed to calm down and talk, he said, "I'm as g-good as d-dead."
Naruto slightly tightened his hold on his neck. "There's ways to get the information out of you." He said, his voice growing a little dangerous. "Tell me now, Keith."
"Why?"
"Because I said so! You've already lost, for what reason do you want to keep this information to yourself?"
Keith opened his eyes at this. His eyes narrowed slightly and he lost all joking matters and his smirk. He opened his mouth and more blood seeped out but he ignored it. He looked the blonde straight in the eyes and without blinking, he said, "I want to see you s-suffer. T-to watch your l-loved ones d-die around you. T-that's why I-I won't t-tell you…"
Naruto felt goose bumps form on his arms but he didn't let any emotions show. "What do you mean?" He asked. He had a pretty good idea what his opponent was talking about, but he wanted to ask just in case.
At his statement, Keith let out one last smirk. "Y-you will understand… all in due time." As soon as he finished speaking, his body gave one last shudder before going limp. His eyes lost its shine, the sign of life, and his gaze slackens and goes distant. His chest no longer rose or fell but simply stayed still.
Disgusted, Naruto tossed the lifeless body to the ground and got to his feet. He wouldn't admit it, but what Keith had just been talking about scared him a little. His family was going first and it was going to be by some type of weapon he created. But, what kind of weapon and what were its secrets behind it? He turned around and kicked off of the ground. He needed to find Sana. Just in case and to be sure.

Sana's POV
As soon as the group got close enough, Sana quickly formed hand signs before shouting out, "Taiyo Kirisame!" (Solar Drizzle) Almost immediately, the sun in the sky gave a flare of heat before gum ball sized fire balls shot down from the heavens. Just like snow falling in winter time, the fire balls drizzled from the sky at a speed like no other. They shot down and targeted the group of boys.
Being light on their toes, most of the guys dodged the attack and began their own assault on the ninja. A few of the guys weren't as lucky and got burned from the jutsu. Golf ball shaped welts formed on their skin wherever the fire balls landed.
As the jutsu began to end, Sana engaged some of the guys head on. She had a kunai in her hand and swiped at one guy while a different came at her from the side. Just like in practice, Sana's kunai got blocked at the same time as she ducked the attack. Being crouched down she kicked her leg out and gave a full sweep of a turn, knocking two guys on their butts. Before they had time to actually fall, Sana rose to a standing position and grabbed a paper bomb attacked to a kunai and threw it to the ground as well as jumping high of into the air.
The explosion was small but had enough force to cause Sana to stagger in the air. She quickly caught balance as gravity began to bring her down.
"I'm going to make sure that when this is all over," A guy met her on the ground and swung his ax at her mid-section, "You're still left alive. That way, you'll become our pet and we can do whatever we want to you!"
Sana dodged the blow by back flipping out of the way. As soon as she did, she had to dodge from the leader of the guys throwing a chakra-fill fist down at her. She blocked to the side and held her hand out to catch herself just as the fist made contact with the hard earth and left a huge crater in it.
Scrunching her face up, Sana looked at the ax wielder and said, "No thank you, Aki." Even after a few years of not seeing them, she still remembered her names. Was she good or was she good?
The ax wielder, newly named Aki, frowned and threw his ax at her with incredible speed. "It wasn't an option girl!"
Sana moved to the side to escape the wrath of the weapon. She knew from past experience just how sharp the axes he wielded were. She had a few hidden scars to prove the fact.
As soon as she moved out of the way, she felt a tiny pin prick on her right arm. Whipping her head to the side, she saw a dart sticking out of her. Plucking it out and throwing it to the side, she glanced up and saw three more of them headed for her. Dropping to the dusty floor, Sana laid on her stomach and formed a different jutsu. Whispering out the words, she spoke with speed, "Fire Style, Fire Paw Jutsu!"
A couple of inches in front of her formed wolf like paw prints that burned into the earth. Almost like an imaginary wolf leaving prints in the dirt, the prints became to 'run' towards the dart user. Flames appeared in the path and sizzled and left the paw prints embedded into the ground. Sana didn't stay to watch the prints stalking its victim as she had to roll away just as a paper bomb was thrown at her. She missed her jutsu fail as the dart user, named Milion, managed to use some kind of water to extinguish her fire.
Rolling away from where she was originally, she wasn't fast enough. The force from the bomb sent her flying backwards and she crashed into a building. Luckily, the building was a strong structure and didn't topple on her like most of the others either she or her opponents encounter. Feeling a little bruised all over, Sana jumped to her feet, having no time to gather her bearings. The guys were on her again.
Multiple weapons were thrown at her and she barely had time to dodge any of them. As she made it safely to the side, she fell into a trap a guy named Suruza was a pro at. As soon as she stepped into invisible barriers, metal poles sprang from the ground all around her, forming a cage. Feeling slightly flustered, Sana tried to escape from the prison but didn't have time as the pole snapped into place leaving no openings to get out. Feeling like a trapped animal, she tried to kick at the poles, punch them and even tried to slice them with a kunai to get free, but nothing worked. She was defiantly trapped.
"Shit," she mumbled under her breath just as the group of ten surrounded her cage.
"That didn't take as long as we had planned," Chi, the leader, said as he walked forward. There were hardly any tears in his dark clothing and he was hardly breathing heavily. Barely panting. And when Sana glanced around, it turned out barely any of them were breathing hard.
The guy with the spiked blue hair with a scar running across his face had his arms crossed at his chest with a bored look on his face. "Of course it didn't. My traps are one of a kind." The 'trapping pro' just watched Sana, wondering if she would be able to get out of this trap.
"So, now what?" Sana huffed out. She had barely any room to move in her cage so she stayed in the middle of it. She crossed her arms at her crest glared dagger at Chi.
A different guy. Al who wore tight clothing that was on the darker sides of a gray, stood on Chi's left side. His gaze was on Sana and he slowly moved his gaze up and down, lingering on Sana's body a little too long for her comfort. She had shivers run along her spine from the look he was giving her.
"Yes," Al said, "What should we do now?"
Sana had to bite back a shudder as well. She wanted ever so badly to find a hole and bury herself in it. She knew Al and what he was capable of and knew exactly what kind of person he was. From her time with them, she knew he didn't know what personal space or boundaries were. She could almost feel his hand caressing her upper thigh, just like last time. She suppressed another shiver and tightened her arms.
"I say we should torture her a little bit," A guy with amazingly bright red hair muttered in a bitter tone. Sana turned to him and bit back a smirk. When she managed to escape from them, the guy in front of her, Red, had been guarding her. Let's just say she left behind a dear present that left him blind in one eye.
Chi nodded, "We should but not right now." He looked to his men and then to the battle still raging in the village. "You know how that brother of hers is. If we tried to touch her, he would be here in half a second and we would all be dead. You remember what he did to Agujero. He took him out like he was nothing when he tried to kill the prince's child."
Everyone nodded their head with a grimace. Their last mission that failed, they had lost half of their group. They thought killing the Land of Tea's prince's child and mother would be easy, but after having dealt with ninja from the Sand, they quickly thought differently. They had no idea what they were up against, even after having kidnapped Sana and tried to use her as ransom to trade her for the baby.
"And he'll do it to all of you when he finds me," Sana stated.
Al took a step closer to the cage and lowered his voice, "And who says he's going to find you?"
Sana fought the urge to step back. She wouldn't say it out loud, but he did have a point. All of those years ago on the mission when she was kidnapped during the night, she tried to send coordinates to Naruto through her necklace but it was all blocked. Apparently a guy named Cameron (who was standing off to the side keeping track of the battle still going on around them) had the jutsu to hide not only his presence from anybody but everyone else's as well. That was how they had snuck up on her and Naruto that night and got away with it as well as how Naruto couldn't come after Sana. He wasn't able to find her or even track her down. He had told her when she came back that it was like she had completely disappeared from the face of the planet.
"We should get moving," The darts guy, Milion, said. "The longer we stay the more that blonde man will find out. And I don't know about you, but I would rather live another day or two."
Chi nodded his head, "He has a point." He glanced around his men again and looked over to Sana. He grinned at her, having thoughts of what he was going to be doing tonight, and then looked at the prison Suruza created. "We need to get moving but we can't with the cage; it's too big." He looked at his trap maker and asked, "Do you think you could create something smaller, something easier to transport?"
Almost looking offended but not saying anything, Suruza nodded his head. "Give me three minutes and I'll get something made and her transferred without any hassle."
"We don't have three minutes," A deep voice said. Lizorgu. He was tense and when everyone turned to him, they realized why.
"Move!" Zay shouted, finally speaking up.
Only a couple of the group members were lucky, dodging the blast. The others, not so much. An explosion took place right next to the cage and luckily from Sana, the cage fell apart. As she stood up from where she had fallen, she eyes widened as she saw blue electricity in the shape of a chakra ball in the middle of the crater it had formed when slammed on to the ground. And standing in the middle of the crater with a dead Suruza on the ground was Naruto's best friend, Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced up from the dead form just as his Chidori dispersed and made eye contact with Sana for maybe a second. He nodded his head in greeting to her before he disappeared from spot. Sana didn't have time to see where he went or to even thank him as her battle continued on. She would thank him later. But right now, she had nine guys who were about to be dead.
XxxxX
Until next time!
I'm gonna stop it here right now. Don't worry, there's still more battle scenes. I'm still gonna be adding a lot in it. Like another flash back of when Sana and Naruto discover a jutsu together and all of that fun stuff. I do have a question though. How confused are you with the background of the group of guys? I know I'm leaving a lot out but I wanna see what you understand so far about what happened between the guys and Sana.
Thank you for reading!
