Chapter 28
Naruto's POV
"Have you seen Sana?" Naruto asked through his radio set he acquired from a Leaf Ninja who hadn't been paying attention. He was radio wired to the ANBU captain which was the only reason why he took it, and knew whatever the captain was seeing he could trust. So far, Naruto wasn't having any luck finding his sister and it was making him aggravated. Ever since Keith gave his warning he was on his toes, and that was almost an hour ago.
"Was it really necessary to steal someone's radio set?" And annoyed voice sounded on the other end. Naruto barely cracked a smile but it was still there.
"I didn't steal, I acquired it." He told the captain. "And anyways, the shinobi wasn't even paying attention to his radio let alone using it. I needed it more than he did."
Sasuke sighed on the other end but radioed back, "Stealing, acquiring, same different, dobe. But to answer your question, yes, I've seen her." He was quiet for maybe a minute as Naruto deflected a kunai headed straight for him. He paused on a roof top and went in a hand to hand combat with the person. By the time Sasuke came back on, Naruto had already defeated the intruder and was jumping from rooftop to rooftop. "I'm fighting alongside her right now near the West side. She was caged and had ten guys surrounding her."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. The number his old comrade said brought back a pained memory. A group of ten ninja that just so happened to have trapped his sister… "You said ten, right?" Maybe they were a different group but just to be sure, he asked, "Does one of them have blue hair and is wearing an eye patch?"
There was no answer at first and Naruto waited in an impatient silence. He had changed his direction as soon as Sasuke said where he was at and was moving as fast as he could to the area. If they were the guys Naruto was thinking of, things were about to get interesting.
About two minutes after Naruto had asked his question, Sasuke came back on and said, "He was the one I killed, yeah. Know them?"
Naruto swore under his breath and responded back, "Yeah I knew them. Sana and I were on a mission together to escort a women and her unborn child from the Land of Birds to the Land of Tea. The child was a prince's kid so it had to be protected. The group you're fighting right now had more people but they attacked us and kidnapped Sana. I don't exactly know what happened when she was kidnapped, but I do know it was bad.
"Anyways, when she was kidnapped, I tried to go after her but her trail seemed to have disappeared and there was no way of tracking her, even with Kyuubi out. And as nature loves to put me in tight spots, the women went into early labor due to all of the stress. I had to get her to the Land of Tea as quick as I could at the same time as leaving Sana. And those stupid idiots tried to use Sana as ransom. They wanted to trade her for the child so that they could kill it."
The blonde suddenly felt a familiar chakra signature hit him and barely let out a sigh of relief. He could feel his sister's chakra again.
"What happened exactly?" Sasuke's voice came back. If it were anyone other than Naruto, they wouldn't have been able to detect the curiosity in his voice.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders regardless if he could be seen or not. "I managed to escort the woman safely to her destination without Sana. But as soon as I arrived there, I was going to go out and search for her when she sent a message to me that she was on her way here and the guys were chasing her. We made a plan and managed to ambush them and ended in a fight. A lot of their men died and the ones left were sent to prison on many different charges. Sana never really mentioned what happened while she was there but I knew it was something horrible to not mention."
"That's why you wanted to know who they were." Sasuke said in more of a comment than a question. The radio was left on for a second and through it Naruto could hear the battle on his side raging. Crashes and explosions sounded as well as screams and yells.
Almost like he was there, fighting alongside his friend, a life-like explosion took place not too far from where Naruto was. From the force of the wind, Naruto staggered and landed on a nearby building. Pausing his path to get to his sister, he glanced around, wondering what had just exploded that was so close to him it affected him. His eyes caught sight of the remains of a big, familiar building that was completely destroyed with black smoke coming off of it. If Naruto wasn't in a hurry to get to his sister, he would have enjoyed the fact that someone actually blew up the Elder's building. Hopefully, the two old hags were in there when it blew up. That and Keo. Save him the trouble of dealing with those three.
"That and something else." Naruto said, resuming his path. He ignored what he just saw, not giving a damn if the Elder's were in danger or not. For all he cared, they could suck his balls.
Without the radio, Naruto could already hear the same screams he heard coming closer. "I'll tell you when I get over there." He clicked the radio off and squared his shoulders. Chakra already began to form in his hands the closer he got to the site.

Sana's POV
Blood slowly seeped from the puncture wound on her leg where Milion had stabbed her with his knife in close combat. Sana barely had time to register the wound as she slashed away at her opponent with her kunai. Ever since the Leaf ninja, Sasuke, had joined her in the fight, the odds became a little even. It was almost like fighting alongside a very quiet Naruto, minus Kyuubi and the tag teaming. She didn't mind, it was just different. But she was glad to fight along with a strong ninja who Naruto used to fight alongside and trusted. Almost like an honor.
"You're going down," Milion commented as his moves got faster than what it was before. He shot his arm out that held the dagger and began to slash away. Sana had no time to speak as she began dodging the fast assaults. To regular people's eyes, the two opponents were nothing more than a blur fighting but to ninja eyes, they could see every attack and every dodge going.
Almost going on a full minute of dodging, Sana suddenly forced her foot to the ground and making sure she was stable, spun around with her leg out. As soon as she did so, Milion automatically had to switch to defense mode to block the fists coming at him. With the tables turned, Sana began her own series of physical attacks. She threw punches, kicks and the occasional kunai at her opponent.
The more time that went by, Sana began to notice her opponent began to weaken. She took this as an advantage and quickly formed hand signs before activating her jutsu, "Taiyō no ringu, -hi no wa!" (Solar Ring, Ring of Fire). Before Milion had time to deflect the attack or get out of the way, the jutsu was already in play. Almost like a solar beam striking the earth, a ray of sun light trapped Milion in its beam, reminding Sana of an angel having light surround it. But instead of an angel being praised, the beam of light surrounding Milion transformed into rings and he was in the middle of the rings. Fire erupted around the rings and they spun in a fast and dizzying way. In less than three seconds since the rings were formed, they changed color from a bright red and orange color to more of a bright golden color. But the color didn't last as the rings shrunk and tightened around its victim. As soon as they touched Milion, fire licked all around him and spread as if he had gasoline of him. And soon enough, he was consumed in the jutsu and burned. He didn't have any time to let of a cry of help before he was silenced forever and fell to the ground in a burnt crisp.
Those around that noticed their comrade die, jumped back in surprise.
"When did you get this strong?" One asked. Red. He glanced from his dead team mate to Sana, anger replacing his surprise. "It doesn't matter now; you're going to pay for that!"
Sana just started to bring her hands up to defend herself from Red when out of nowhere, a shadow fell upon the two. Before Sana could even blink, a figure from the sky fell upon Red with an attack. Everything happened so fast that when Sana did blink, it was over. Red was on the floor bleeding heavily in the shoulder where a chakra pole about the length of two yard sticks put together was slowly starting to dissolve. Red was trying to get to his feet as he clutched his injured shoulder but he didn't get very far before a sphere about the size of a golf ball was shoved roughly against the back of his neck. The sphere, the color of a blood red, black and orange colored chakra, seemed to sink into his skin and for a second, nothing happened. Then, as Red's body started to collapse to the ground, something on his insides happened like he a person as on the insides pushing to get free, and without any kind of warning, his body was suddenly the center of a mini explosion. Instead of the explosion going outwards like they normally did, it seemed to be stay in one area and stayed on inside of the body. Blood squirted out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
And the person who caused all of this was calmly walking over to where Sana was standing with a look that could kill. Sana let out a sigh of relief at the same time feeling a little sorry for the death Red just witnessed. She had only seen that jutsu performed on the people her brother hated with a passion. Blowing up from the insides was not something she ever wished to partake in.
"You should have called," Naruto scowled his little sister when he was close enough. "Especially since these goons are here." He gestured to the eight people left that were currently fighting Sasuke.
Sana frowned and crossed her arms at her chest. She huffed and said, "I was a little busy so excuse me for not telling you sooner." Her face softened when she noticed the hint of concern and something else in his eyes. Scared? Edgy? "But you're here now, that's all that matters."
"Can I get a little help over here?" Sasuke's voice was suddenly right next to the two, having just body flickered from where he was just fighting to where he was now standing. He had a small cut on his cheek but otherwise, he looked unharmed. His eyes were a little hard and tired having been battling for a little over seventeen hours, and his jaw was set in a frown.
Naruto glanced away from his sister and after losing his frown, smiled at his best friend. "You didn't look like you needed help."
Sasuke scoffed and brought his sword out for the first time since being in the clearing. "I would respond to that, but that would require in getting into an argument that would bring down my IQ."
Instead of getting insulted like he used to when he was a kid, Naruto just rolled his eyes. He rolled his shoulders back and walked up to his friend. Laying a hand down on his shoulder, he gripped him and said without having to look at him, "Just like old times then?"
Sasuke smirked and barely gave a nod of his head. At the same time, the two best friends vanished from spot and when Sana blinked, they both were back in the middle of fighting the ones what were still left. For a moment, all Sana could do was smile. Seeing her brother fight among side a friend like old times was not something she had ever seen him do. It was different when Naruto fought alongside Gaara and the other sand shinobi or when they were out on a mission with people Naruto had meet many years back. Now, as she watched closely, Naruto was a little more at ease. He was only this relaxed (as relaxed as you could get during a war) when he was with Gaara. But now…
Breaking her train of thought, her next opponent was on her. Al, the one who she hated the most for many different reasons, threw a punch straight for her face. Only years of training with Naruto did her sharp reflexes kicked in. She leaned back to avoid the attack and as soon as she did, she lifted her right leg straight out in front of her, managing to kick Al straight in the chin. But, having about as much training as she did, Al managed to avoid the kick minus a small cut.
Leaning a little further down, Sana brought her arms down and flipped away. After turning herself around, she didn't waste any time running at her opponent with a shuriken already opened and ready for use. She met him about half way, Al having already composed himself and was running at her with a sword in her hand, and the two locked with their weapons against one another. It was now against who was stronger. As of now, they were in a compromise of strength.
Al pushed a little with his weapon and stated, "Do you know what I am going to do to you when we e-capture you?" Sana gritted her teeth and sweat started to form at her hairline. Before she could say anything, Al continued, "I'm going to throw you onto the ground after a good beating and have you stripped of your clothing. But this time, unlike last time, you won't have that virginity left. Unlike last time, no one is going to stop me from doing anything. You will be mine to do whatever I want. Do you understand that?"
Images of the cold floor underneath her bare skin resurfaced from a far corner in her mind. Sana could help the whimper that escaped from her and she mentally slapped herself for letting it escape. She tried to look away from the look of lust that entered Al's eyes and the look of satisfaction he gave her. And when Al pushed a little more against her, she almost gave in. But, she didn't. She wasn't going to be a helpless girl and she certainly was not going to let herself be raped by this piece of shit.
Feeling determination enter her, Sana faced her opponent again and pushed against him with everything she had. A look of surprised crossed his face by her sudden new look and he staggered against her strength.
"I am not," Sana said through gritted teeth, "going to let that happen. You are not going to touch me and you are certainly not going to do 'whatever' you want with me. Do you know why?" She gave a big pushed and managed to make him release his hold on against her and knocked him to the ground. She towered over him and gave him the look only a pissed off female could give. "I'll tell you why. It is because I am going to kill you before you are able to do any of that. Do you understand?"
Al barely had time to scramble away before Sana threw her shuriken at him. It hit the ground three inches from where Al had just been and he managed to grab ahold of his sword just as Sana was upon him again, this time with a kunai. The two were engaged in battle once again but the only different this time versus the last, was in the few minutes that they had been fighting, Al was now feeling a little scared for him life. The anger that radiated off of his opponent was more than he had ever faced and he had fought against many angry opponents before. If he lived through this, he was going to need to stop angering so many people. Or, well, girls at least.
Sana glared daggers at him before she began her attacks on him.

Naruto's POV
Fighting alongside his best friend again where it was just the two of them brought back many old memories. Naruto smiled as he punched a guy, his name Zay from what he remembered, in the gut and then had to dodge an ax headed for his head, all at the same time. He jumped into the air and back flipped to where he was now standing behind the man who threw the ax.
He landed lightly behind the guy, Aki, and threw out his arm for a punch. Aki, who felt someone behind him, turned around with another ax in hand and meet Naruto's fist with his weapon. Barely having time to pull his fist back, Naruto moved it before the sharp weapon could slice his skin. But because of his late reaction, Aki smirked and used his ax, bringing it down against the blonde's chest, slicing a deep gash in him.
"Gah!" Naruto moved back, his hand clenching his newly wound. Warm liquid gushed out of him and instantly covered his hand, going between his fingers and then down his arm.
Aki ran at him, smirking the whole way. He had brought out another ax and began swinging his weapons at the injured blonde, one right after the other. "Don't worry, it's gonna get worse," He said.
As he continued to dodge, Naruto briefly glanced around the battle field. Sasuke still had the majority of the enemies on him but he kept his own. To be honest, Naruto was surprised he was only fighting one person. Then again, he understood why. The guys knew just how powerful he could get, but, then again, they didn't know who they were up against now that they were fighting Sasuke. And from the looks of it, Sasuke was only toying with them now. Taking his gaze off of Sasuke, he sought out Sana and had to bite back a smile. His little sister had just defeated her opponent, but instead of killing him, she did a number on him. From the looks at his crumpled and mess up body, Al wasn't going to be walking again anymore. Both of his legs stuck out at awkward angles and no matter how much healing was involved, bones that were broken like that were not going to heal normal again.
"Naruto!"
Tearing his attention away from his sister, Naruto looked over at his friend who was watching him. With his hand held out like how it was, Naruto's eyes widened in understanding and he nodded. Sasuke, having seen the blonde nod, began his jutsu.
Looking for Sana once more, Naruto managed to break away from dodging Aki and yelled over to Sana, "Sana, when I say now, jump into the air!" His sister looked like she was about to ask questions, but instead, just nodded her head. Naruto turned back to face Sasuke who caught his eye and nodded. "Now!" Together, the two siblings pushed off of the ground as hard as they could and used chakra to stay suspended in the air.
As soon as their feet were off of the ground, Sasuke started his jutsu. With his hand outstretched, he gathered the chakra and molded it into one of his favorite techniques. Soon enough, lighting formed in the palm of his hand and began to form tentacle like waves all around. He whispered the words, "Chidori Nagashi, Thousand Birds Current." The tentacles of lightening shot in every direction right when he finished speaking and shot at his opponents. Those that tried to block were thrown backwards from the force and those that ducked in cover or tried to flee were shot down. One of the guys, J who had been quiet during the whole battle, was one of the unlucky ones and had a full force of lighting attack him. He went down and was dead before he even touched the ground. Lighting surged around him and glowed against his lifeless eyes.
"The hell is this?" Li-La yelped, having been hit in the arm by the jutsu. He narrowed his eyes at Sasuke who was surrounded by the lightening. The currents seemed to be full of life, flickering all around while Sasuke remained still. Then, without warning, Sasuke slowly brought up his hand that still held his sword. Immediately, the lightening surged to his sword and surrounded the blade. Not giving any warning, Sasuke shot forward and engaged into a fight against Li-La.
Seeing his chance, Naruto looked over to Sana and grinned. "Time for the Rotation of Windolar."
Sana giggled but nodded her head. Time for a brother and sister jutsu!
Flashback!
"So Naruto, when are we going to make our own jutsu together?"
Pausing with a fork full of noodles that were halfway to his mouth, Naruto closed his mouth and glanced over at his sister who was playing with her bowl of freshly cut strawberries. She glanced up when she felt eyes on her and gave him a little pout.
"Yeah, Naruto, when are you two going to create a jutsu together?" Temari asked. She placed her cup of tea down on the table and kept her hands around them, thankful for the warmth it provided. On the outside of their small cabin, a snow storm raged, chilling the insides of the cabin despite the fact that a fire was still blaring. The warmth from her mug felt amazing and relaxing and warmed her fingers.
Naruto glanced between the two females. The three of them were on a mission together in the mountains to watch out for any suspicious activity since only a few months ago bandits thought it would be a great place to hide out and get away with breaking the laws. They were soon discovered and now there was a patrol in the middle to keep an eye and it just so happened that these three got stuck with it. Because it was a boring job and not a lot happened, Sana had been going crazy with boredom. They had only been here a day and the mission lasted three.
"We have time to start thinking of one," Sana added, trying to bait him in. Her voice, light and innocent sounding had Naruto turn his head in her direction. Her head was back down as she playing around with her fruit. The guilt trip. Quickly, he turned his head away before she looked up and gave the puppy dog eyes.
Picking her mug back up, Temari held the cup close to her lips and muttered, "And there is nothing for us to do. So you might as well."
Naruto placed his fork down and ran a hand through his blonde hair. "Alright, fine," he said and ignored the way Sana's face lit up and the victory dance he could almost picture her doing. "But it's too late to do it today. Starting tomorrow we'll begin the process." And adding silently, "Bright and early."
End of Flashback
After many months and sleepless nights, they created a jutsu that could either be used during the day or at night. And it just so happened, Naruto named the jutsu by using wind and solar chakra and by clashing the two together. He went many days rambling off names that would fit for what the justu did and finally decided with the name he originally intended for it. Rotation of Windolar.
"Ready for this?" Naruto asked without even glancing at his sister.
Sana nodded her head and began to gather chakra to form around her. Naruto began to do the same all the while running towards the enemies that began to rise from their fallen states. In less than two seconds, they had enough chakra around them needed for their attack. In unison, the siblings clapped their hands together. Almost like a sound wave, the chakra almost seemed to peel itself off of their users. The siblings paused in their running and watched as their chakra forms continued to run in the same position. A glow of fiery red and gold form and a light blue form ran together. The closer they got to their enemies, the faster their shape seemed to change. Instead of staying in the outlines of Naruto and Sana, the chakra transformed and shaped a sphere that floated. Like a Rasangan, the chakra inside the spheres swirled and continued to spin.
"Let's go!" Sana yelled and roughly grabbed Naruto's arm. She transported the two over to their spheres of chakra but instead of grabbing their own, grabbed the others. They continued to run with the chakra and by now, began to mix a little of their own in the sphere. The colors almost seemed to spark with the clashing of chakra but didn't explode all the while growing in size until they were at least the size of a beach ball.
A couple of meters away from the group who just began to realize they were under attack once again, the two siblings threw their chakra spheres in the guy's direction. At the same time, they yelled out, "Rotation of Windolar!"
An explosion the size of a house played before their eyes. Before any dirt of rubble could fill the air, the colors from the chakra took to the air and swirled with one another, making a beautiful sunset like painting.
Jumping back to avoid any knock outs, the siblings found themselves on a house many yards away. Sasuke was there as well, watching with calm eyes. But Naruto noticed him looking impressed before he quickly covered up.
"Not bad," he commented and slipped his sword back in its sheath. They waited until the air cleared and the dust to settle down before they looked at the damage.
With evening beginning to settle in, only three bodies were located at ground zero. Hardly recognizable from their burnt and bloodied corpses, the three could identify Zay, Li-La, and Camron laying there. Aki and Chi were nowhere to be seen.
"Figures…" Sana muttered and with a flick of her head, moved her bangs out of her eyes from when they slipped out of her ponytail.
Naruto laid a hand on his sister's shoulder, trying to sooth her from the disappointment of not killing the whole group in one whack. Especially for not killing Chi, the leader of the group. He was one nasty fighter considering he was a chakra user and the fact that Naruto had fought against him and ended up breaking a bone or two from the guy.
"Wonder where they went…" Sana wondered aloud. She took a step forward, tilting her head all around as she examined the battle ground. She was just beginning to jump down from the building the three of them were perched on when, from the corner of his eye, Naruto noticed some kind of weapon headed in Sana's direction. To his horror, his sister hadn't yet discovered it.
"Sana, watch out!" Naruto yelled but knew she wouldn't have time to dodge or to even get out of the way. Without a second thought, Naruto moved and suddenly appeared in the line of the weapon and took the attack full on. A sharp pain pierced his back and went deep from the force. A silent gasp escaped from his mouth and he staggered.
A look of complete shock crossed Sana's face that quickly disappeared to concern when her brother began to lose balance and began to fall forward. Throwing up her arms, she caught her brother and began to slowly lower him to the ground.
"N-Naruto?" She whispered her eyes wide and innocent looking.
Sasuke suddenly appeared beside the two and helped the teenager lower his friend on his stomach. Without so much as a word, he pulled the shuriken from the blonde's back and tossed it to the side without another care for the weapon. Without wasting any time, he turned the blonde to his back and helped him sit up, leaving a hand on the bloody wound to try and stop the bleeding.
"You alright?" He almost barked, noticing the way Naruto paled a little by the turn.
Naruto nodded once and managed to say, "Y-yeah… Hardly h-hurts." He tried to mask all pain off of his face but failed.
"We need to get you to the medic." Sasuke said and got to his feet. Keeping his hand on the wound, he used his other hand and grabbed Naruto's upper arm and hoisted him up. Sana rose as well but the trio didn't get very far before a voice stopped them.
"My my, you do know that wasn't meant for you, Naruto."
The trio stopped cold and the two older men stood up straight. Naruto took his arm back despite the pain and tensed up. He took a step in front of his sister to protect her from his eyes. He had been wondering when this creep would show his face and join the battle.
Orochimaru stood calmly a few yards away from them. He looked as though he always did, despite the fact that they were in the middle of a war; not a stand of hair was out of place on the snake creep. Not even a sweat drop from the humid air.
The sun was now completely down with the moon rising. The time was flying by no one had time to notice what time it was. A few miles away but still able to see clearly, Kyuubi was still fighting Manda and the looks of it, Kyuubi was winning. Easily, she was wearing down Manda and from the snakes sluggish movement, their fight was about to be over. The sounds of weapons clashing and screams filled the air. No one was keeping track of time except for one girl.
Feeling the moon rise, Sana felt something inside of her chill from excitement. It wasn't every day she got to use her moon chakra. And now, with Orochimaru standing not too far away from her, it was a perfect time to show him her new jutsu. And with Naruto hurt, this would be perfect.
"Orochimaru!" Naruto growled out, his eyes narrowing upon seeing the man. He took a step towards the man and bit back a grunt of pain. The shuriken had struck him right between the shoulders and upon moving around, brought the annoying pain waves.
The snake didn't even look towards the blonde as his eyes moved on and he sought out Sasuke. He watched the ANBU captain tense and slightly moved into a fighting stance. He was just beginning to open his mouth to speak but was cut off by a gust of wind. Eyes wondered over to Sana and watched in curiosity.
The wind surrounding Sana whipped by her and lifted her hair up into the wind, blowing it around. The hair tie in her hair came undone and with her hair free, whipped all around her. Naruto moved out of the way, understanding what was going on. Sasuke, noticing the blonde moving, followed him, not quite sure what was going on. Once Naruto and Sasuke were out of the danger zone, the irises in Sana's eyes glowed silver and she threw one hand up into the air, her fingers stretched out towards the moon. Without needing to watch what she was doing, she moved her hand in a small circle before curling her fingers into a fist. The wind around her picked up speed just as a silver looking color began to creep in. The moon chakra, being added in with the wind, swirled in wisps and surrounded her. Brining her arm down, Sana then pushed it out to the side. Almost like it was a command, the tornado of the moon chakra went from spinning around it's user to next to her.
"Yakan no arubaitofīrudo: Hana funka." (Moonlights field, flowers eruption) Sana whispered, barely moving her mouth. The moon chakra tornado suddenly dispersed into many small objects that took the shapes of many different flower pedals. They filled the battle field within a ten-yard diameter and were stilled in the air. Orochimaru watched in silence, curious about the jutsu and yet, did nothing. Sana just smirked and with a flicker of her arm, she brought her limb in a circle over her head like a lasso before throwing her index finger at her enemy. The stilled flower petals came to life before they were hurled through the air like tiny kunai's. In the seven seconds it took to form the jutsu and have it going on its way, Sana finally blinked and waited.
As if the gods were on Orochimaru's side, the jutsu never made contact with him. Instead, the storm of petals met up with a wall of fire. Ending the jutsu with all evidence gone, two people appeared on the ground not too far away from where Orochimaru stood. They both stood with their arms crossed at their chests. Many scratches covered their bodies and blood was everywhere. They both wore pissed off expressions and had their eyes set on Sana.
Naruto, upon noticing the arrivals, went to his sister's side at the same moment Sasuke decided to attack Orochimaru. There seemed to be no time wasted; as soon as Sasuke engaged into battle, Naruto and Sana ran in unison at their own intended targets.
The siblings clashed weapons with Chi and Aki. Naruto put as much force into his kunai as he and Aki matched strength. On the right of him, Sana and Chi were matched as well. Sana gritted her teeth, her eyes having gone back to normal. Drops of sweat slid down the back of her neck as she felt Chi start to gain the upper hand and push her back.
"You're going to die this time, runt." Chi growled out, his eyes locking with Sana's. His eyes narrowed.
"R-really?" Sana managed to get out. She could feel her feet losing its grip the more he pushed at her.
"Yeah. I'm not going to let you get away with killing my team. They were my brothers!"
Sana only smirked in response before she finally used her hidden strength and pushed off of Chi. As soon as his knife left hers, she threw hers at him and crossed her fingers in a new jutsu. Feeling the moon chakra come to life, she formed it before shouting out, "Tsuki rirīsu; tentai kiba." (Moon's Release; Celestial Fangs!)
As soon as Sana finished the jutsu, Chi brought his hands up and performed his own jutsu, knowing he would be defeated if he didn't. "Jigoku no hi: Zasshuken o kaihō." (Hell's Fire: Release the Mutt!)
Both jutsu's exploded into the night's air. On Sana's side, a snow wolf that glowed silver snarled at its opponent, an over-sized canine that took the form of a Pit Bull. The canine, made of flames, growled back and stood over its user. Before waiting to get a signal of attack, the Pit Bull ran on the air and threw itself at the wolf. Together, the two began to wrestle, the other trying to gain victory of the other.
Tearing her eyes away from her jutsu, Chi was in front of her, throwing his fist up and almost managed to clip her in the jaw. Luckily, Sana back flipped away and threw a kunai directly at Chi's head. Chi jumped into the air to avoid the weapon at the same time his Pit Bull locked its jaws around the wolf's front leg. The wolf let out a silent cry of pain but didn't miss a beat as it used its free leg and stomped on the canine's head. The Pit Bull released its grip and rolled away to dodge another pounding from the wolf.
Sana glanced away from Chi to make sure her jutsu was doing alright before she turned her gaze over to her brother. Naruto was fighting with Aki and was managing his own. They were only in battle for five minutes in the least and so far, Naruto had taken the upper hand despite his injuries. He had Aki backed up to a corner, exhaustion clearly written all over his face. By the looks of it, Aki was about to give up.
"Pay attention!"
Chi's voice had snapped Sana's attention back to her own opponent but she didn't have any time to dodge the fist coming at her. Chi managed to punch Sana right in the cheek and from the force of the attack, sent her flying in the air. She collided with a wall and slumped to the ground, her vision swarming in and out.
"Ugh," She managed out and out a hand to her forehead. Her head pounded from the hit and she took a deep breath through her mouth, wishing her vision to return to normal.
"What're you still doing down there?" A voice whispered.
Sana's head snapped up, all pain forgotten. Chi had his face three inches from hers and was wearing a cocky grin. Before Sana could throw up defense, Chi smacked her again in the face, sending her flying horizontal.
Sana hit the ground and began rolling at a fast pace. Her inertia didn't slow until she hit a different building. But unlike the other one, this one crumbled on top of her and she didn't have any time to escape the rubble. Thankfully, the whole building didn't fall, but enough fell on her to cover her. Feeling weakened and sore all over, Sana made her way slowly out of the pile of rock. She looked to the sky and noticed the Pit Bull had her wolf's neck in its jaw. Before the canine clenched its jaw shut, she looked away, feeling the pain from her jutsu as it ended.
Walking calmly towards her, Chi laughed out loud and said, "See what happened to your precious wolf?" Above him, his own jutsu began to fade as well. "That's exactly what is going to happen to you."
"I don't think so!" A different voice shouted. Naruto came from above and had his arm out first, his hand clenched into a fist that was aimed for Chi.
The man dressed in all black barely avoided getting his face crushed under the fist as he dodged to the side. When he looked to where he was just standing, the blonde haired man was there, putting himself in between himself and Sana, who was slowly rising to her feet and brushing rock and dust off of her.
"If you want to kill my sister, you'll have to go through me." Naruto growled out. He began to gather chakra to his hand.
Chi glanced nervously back and forth between the siblings. He didn't want to fight against Naruto, already knowing the outcome. But, it was fight him and die with honor and flee now and probably be thrown into jail. Better go down with dignity.
Masking all emotions, Chi set his shoulders and said, "So be it. But I won't go down without a fight."
Naruto ignored his comment and called over his shoulder, "Sana, are you alright?"
Sana stepped out of the rubble and felt exhaustion finally hit her. "Y-yeah. I think so." She said. "Are -," Her question was cut short and Naruto frowned, wondering what cut her off. As he started to turn around, that was when he saw it. Across the battle field where Sasuke and Orochimaru were fighting, Sasuke was on the ground and Orochimaru had a long sword in his hand. But, instead of sticking it through Sasuke, he turned around and hurled it towards the two.
Naruto's eyes widened a fraction as he realized who it was aimed at. He began to move towards his sister, at least to push her out of the way, but realized he couldn't. Chi was there, holding Naruto back. Anger swept through the blonde and he tried to get out of the man's grip, but for some reason, he wasn't able to. It felt like something was weighing him down, like chains. Helplessly, he glanced up and realized the same thing that kept him in place was keeping Sana in place. She tried to move, but her struggles were useless.
"SANA!" Naruto yelled out.
The teenager glanced up just as the sword the snake threw hit her. Right where her heart is.
