XI

Arashi no Sunagakure= Storm of the Village Hidden in the Sand

The other matches weren't half as interesting as the pure taijutsu match Raiden had with easily the most physically tough genin in both nations. Yeah the Hyuga were deadly but in Raiden's opinion the Hyuga male's spandexed team mate hurt more and was more likely to take him apart.

Heck even his puppeteering comrade wasn't half as dangerous as his Konohan friend.

Friend that was the first time he actually willingly used the word. 'Friend's led to betrayal. Betrayal led to pain. Pain to suffering. Suffering to death.' Raiden shook his head, he had been given a second of life, he was determined not to let his previous life get him down; here he could be his own man relatively.

He had drawn someone by the name of Higurashi Tenten for his opponent in the finals; for what he had observed when he saw her pick apart one of the newer Suna genin with ease Raiden had to fight back a smirk. He had already pissed off three Konoha jonin; he'd rather not piss off someone who knew where he lived.

"All right we'll see the finalists in a month." Announced Temari, Raiden grinned bowed to Tenten turned on his heel and dissolved into a thunderstorm off to his training ground to get some training in.

Matsuri shortly followed going against Aburame Shino in the second match. The other matches didn't really concern him the only ones that did were either Matsuri or Shino winning. He could wittle the Aburame down by attacking his kikachau and he knew all of Matsuri's techniques.

His other opponent's he just have to wait and see. Raiden flopped down onto his bed pulling off his gear and hanging it over a mannequin before heading down the hallway to have a shower.

Harry groaned as the water cascaded down his head and over his back; what he didn't know was that tonight would push him to the very brink of his sanity and behaviour. He finished in the shower, his hair that reach the top of his shoulders in rugged spikes now finally slick and tame temporarily with a clean pair of shinobi pants on he left the bathroom steam gently rolling off him only to run into Kankuro.

Kankuro's eyes widened at Harry's hair "Wow, you've finally got it under control."

Harry snorted "Nope, it'll have a life of its own the moment it dries so if you want evidence of my hair being long and tame now is your chance."

Kankuro didn't wait, he chucked the manic teen jacket which he hastily did up as he pulled out a camera and took several pictures "Harry, I need to talk to you...I need your word that you won't kill me or vaporise anyone within Suna's walls and twenty miles."

"You have my word..." Harry said slowly his hand going for a kunai "But you said nothing about carving anyone up."

He then felt a tendril of sand around his waist "I need your word that no harm will come to Sunagakure no Sato as buildings or its people or guests residing within the village and thirty mile radius of said village. Are we clear?" A gravelly voice called and the kunai dropped to the floor.

"You have my word Gaara."

"TEMARI'SOFTHEAGEWHERESUITORSAREGOINGTOBEASKINGFORHERHANDINMARRIAGEANDTHETHREEOFUSHAVEBEENASKEDTOATTENDABALLOFSORTSTOFINDASUITOR!" Babbled Kankuro at a such a speed making Raiden strain his hearing to decipher the words.

"Did you just say Temari, Suitors, Ball, Three of us and attendance?" Harry asked nonchalantly getting a shaky nod from the Puppet Master.

"Gaara can anyone throw their name in?"

Gaara nodded slowly "They can do...They just need to something of their wealth like a bank statement and a deed to property or properties."

Raiden nodded his displeasure about this up and coming event quickly made his hair begin to stand up as chakra began to build up "Then I'll make sure I toss my hat in metaphorically."

"You'll be ridiculed." Protested Kankuro.

"I've killed for lesser insults...No big deal."

"They also want tributes of good faith."

"Me not carving them up with a butter knife? Is that not good faith."

Gaara had to fight back a grin at the raven haired genin "True though you may need to give over a blade or two."

Harry smirked sadistically "I can then filch them right back or give them some explosive fakes."

Gaara winced Temari's apprentice was definitely nearly as bad as he was when it came to killing. He killed anyone who annoyed him on the orders of his burdern but Raiden just killed anyone who he thought had adlibbed him in some form and he was being released into a world of where adlibbing and doublespeak were common. Oh the blood spilt would be lovely, Shukaku had been leaving Gaara alone and allowing the young kage to actually sleep.

Raiden made his way back to his room and pulled on a black version of Gaara's outfit with a bone white chest guard, with a full length bone white haori with his swords on his hip with his katana furtherest down and three more blades above it and he added a two hidden wrist blades.

Kankuro went for the traditional Kimono, Haori and Hakama and ditched the war paint as had Gaara. Gaara looked their house guest up and down "Can we change you out of black?"

"No."

"You smarten up nicely and look good when your clothes aren't ripped asunder and covered in blood...Do you need so many weapons?"

Raiden smirked "No-one can be too prepared for a fight...As for my good faith I've had eight blades made which I've engraved with explosive seals."

"Raiden leave those blades at home." A soft honeyed voice called out and the three men spun sharply and Raiden's eyes widened.

Temari had descended the stairs with a long flowing satin kimono, obi and obijime and her hair was done up in a bun with a wringletted ponytail. Raiden twisted his wrist and a bouquet of White Desert Lilie's materialised in his hand.

Temari blushed and Kankuro stared his older sister, the composed sibling was blushing "Agriato Raiden-kun."

Raiden's normal flinty coloured eyes lightened and a true grin flickered across his face "Let's go Temari-chan, Kankuro, Gaara; We have places to be and chaos to cause."

"Or rather you."

Raiden shrugged "Can't do wrong for right. But anyways the good lady is correct."

The group of four shunshinned away; Temari in a swirl of wind, Kankuro in a poison cloud, Gaara in sand and Harry in swirl of icicles.

It took three long range shunshin to arrive at the palace that the Daimyo's cousin had demanded be used to find Temari's suitor. Raiden fought back the urge to use the most powerful raiton jutsu he had in his aresnal which was the False Darkness Dragon Bomb. It was based off the Katon: Dragon Flame Bomb and the Raiton: Gian it took skill and a degree of insanity to mold anything above C-rank jutsu together let alone two B-ranks which wasn't unheard of but not uncommon but B-ranks based on the second and third most combatitive based elements you were pushing you're luck.

"RAIDEN-KUN! You bad boy I knew you'd come. You must dance with me tonight." Squealed the hostess who unfortunately recognised Raiden from her escort nearly nine months ago.

"Nine months! God that was a painful night." Raiden thought "Yes Ma'am, I will...I have an agenda tonight also."

This caught the cousin of the Daimyo off guard "Who know's of this agenda?"

"Oh practically every other member of male nobility who are here tonight knows."

The cousin nodded and scarpered off "Wow, you didn't rip her head off. That's progress." Smirked Kankuro.

"Oh, I wanted to but think about it with all these hot blooded nobles and alcohol and politics..."

Kankuro licked his lips "You're really sure you want to do this?"

Raiden nodded "Someone once told me anything worth having or wanting is worth fighting for. To me Temari is worth fighting for or dare I say it killing or dying for."

Temari had been escorted off by some of the other ladies as it turned out she wasn't the only one looking for a suitor and had thankfully not heard most of the conversations her brothers and secret crush were having. But if she did she'd have clocked on to what was about to happen.

The Suna nin entered the hall and Raiden immediately began scanning for potential assassins and exits "Mingle and enjoy yourself." Gaara instructed before the three male shinobi separated.

"Hey...You...Peasant." A voice called turning Raiden away from his sake.
