Fight in the Hospital

Naruto, Kazuki, and Shino gathered in a secluded spot, their expressions serious and determined. The chaos of the invasion was all around them, but they needed to make a strategic decision on their next move.

Kazuki crossed his arms, deep in thought. "We've got multiple fronts to consider, but if we want to make the biggest impact, I think we should focus on Gaara. His mental state is already unstable, and if we can help him, it might turn the tide of this battle."

Shino nodded, his analytical mind processing the information. "Agreed. Gaara's power is immense, and if we can prevent him from causing further destruction, it could save countless lives."

Naruto clenched his fists, his resolve firm. "Yeah, and we can't just stand by while innocent people get hurt. Gaara might be going through something similar to what I've experienced with the Nine-Tails. If anyone can understand and reach him, it's me."

Kazuki patted Naruto's shoulder, offering a reassuring smile. "Exactly. Plus, we've trained hard for this. Our skills have improved, and working together, we can definitely make a difference."

Shino adjusted his glasses, his voice steady. "Then it's settled. Let's head towards Gaara's location and do our best to contain the situation."

In the chaos of the invasion, even the once-safe walls of the hospital were not spared. On Shiza's floor, Shura and Rai, two sinister sound ninja, had infiltrated with ill intent. Their goal was clear: eliminate anyone who stood in their way and extract energy for their nefarious purpose.

As they moved through the corridors, they came face to face with Kin. Their eyes bore a mixture of anger and disdain, viewing her as a traitor who had turned her back on their cause. Kin's heart raced as she realized the danger she was in, but she stood her ground, her determination outweighing her fear.

Shura's cold voice cut through the tense silence. "Well, well, if it isn't the little traitor. How fitting that we find you here."

Rai's sinister grin mirrored his companion's sentiments. "It seems like fate is on our side today."

Kin's gaze remained steady, her voice defiant. "I may have chosen a different path, but I won't let you harm anyone here."

The tension in the air was palpable, and the clash between them was imminent. As the first strike was about to be thrown, the hospital floor turned into a battleground, where Kin would defend not only herself but also the lives of those in her care.

With determination burning in her eyes, Kin took a deep breath and faced the two sound ninja, Rai and Shura, head-on. She moved swiftly, her movements guided by the lessons she had learned from Jiraiya. The battle was intense, as she maneuvered around her foes, seeking openings and exploiting their weaknesses.

As Rai lunged forward, Kin's quick thinking allowed her to sidestep his attack and counter with a well-placed strike. Her blow landed on Rai's side, causing him to stagger and momentarily lose his balance. The surprise attack left Rai vulnerable, and Kin took advantage of the opportunity, delivering a series of swift strikes to his vital points. Rai grunted in pain, realizing that underestimating Kin had been a grave mistake.

However, Shura was not one to be taken lightly. He attacked with a ferocity that tested Kin's every move. His strikes were calculated and precise, pushing Kin back as she defended herself with all her strength. The battle was fierce, and Kin found herself struggling to keep up with the relentless assault from both opponents.

Shura's mocking laughter echoed in the air as he taunted her. "What's the matter, little traitor? Can't keep up with the big leagues?"

Kin's resolve only grew stronger, her determination fueled by the insults. She dodged and weaved, using her agility to avoid Shura's attacks and find openings in his defense. Despite the odds stacked against her, she fought with unwavering courage, proving that she was far from worthless.

In the midst of the intense battle, Kin managed to land a powerful strike on Rai, sending him crashing against the wall. However, her moment of triumph was short-lived as Shura seized the opportunity to grab her, his grip tightening around her arm. Kin winced in pain as she felt her chakra being drained, her energy slowly being sapped away by Shura's technique.

As Rai began to recover and rise to his feet, it seemed that the situation was growing dire for Kin. She struggled against Shura's grip, her mind racing to find a way out of this dangerous predicament. She desperately tried to summon her chakra and break free, but Shura's hold remained steadfast.

Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, a sudden presence made itself known. Hade Wain, the enigmatic and powerful mentor, appeared on the scene with an aura of authority. His presence alone seemed to command attention, and both Rai and Shura hesitated for a moment, taken aback by his arrival.

Hade wasted no time, swiftly and decisively taking action. With a series of precise and expertly executed movements, he swiftly incapacitated both Rai and Shura, neutralizing their threat. Kin watched in awe as Hade's skills were put on full display, his abilities far surpassing her own.

As the dust settled and the immediate danger subsided, Hade turned his attention to Kin. A small smile played on his lips as he looked at her, his eyes filled with genuine approval.

"Kin, you've certainly come a long way since we last met," Hade remarked, his tone carrying a mix of admiration and encouragement. "Your improvement is truly remarkable, and I'm impressed by your resourcefulness and determination."

Kin felt a swell of pride and gratitude at Hade's words. To earn the praise of someone as skilled and experienced as him was a significant achievement. She couldn't help but smile in return, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

"Thank you, Hade-sensei," Kin replied, her voice filled with a newfound confidence. "I've been working hard to become stronger, and I won't let these invaders harm my home."

Hade nodded approvingly, his gaze steady and reassuring. "Keep that determination burning, Kin. Your journey as a shinobi is just beginning, and I have no doubt that you'll continue to rise to the challenges ahead."

With that, Hade turned his attention back to the defeated sound ninja, ensuring that they were properly restrained. Kin watched as he effortlessly handled the situation, his skill and expertise serving as a reminder of the heights she aspired to reach.
