28: Sharingan Revived! Dragon Flame Jutsu!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
"Uchiha!" The greenette called out to him. "What is wrong with you? You can call, Naruto a pest. Say that he always gets in the way and that he's just a kid. But, at least he no coward! NOT LIKE YOU! UCHIHA!"
…My Line…
"Foolish little brother," an older Itachi stated. "You can't kill me. Your hates not strong enough. You're not strong enough. Your life is too precious to you. So, run. That's right run away and live with the shame."
…My Line…
"NO!" Sasuke said loudly as he activated his Sharingan.
Raika looked at him for a moment before smirking as she looked back at Orochimaru.
"I knew it," the rogue Sannin thought. "He's Uchiha blood has come to a boil." He got into a ready stance. "I think that I will play with him a little and learn the full existent of his powers." He then looked at the Miran. 'And maybe, I might even learn more about the little Senju and her own powers as well.'
'All I cared about was surviving in order to defeat my brother,' thought Sasuke as he placed a kunai into his mouth. 'What a fool I have been! I see the truth now! Naruto, Raika…if I haven't the courage to face this demon then how can I ever hope to face him?'
The greenette knew that no matter what the Uchiha doesn't stand a chance in hell against, who she believes to be Orochimaru. The Miran also knew that she didn't stand a chance of going against the Sannin, herself, either. However, she knew that they had to survive somehow, so she bit her thumb, ran through hand signs, and then slammed her hand onto the tree branch.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Raika called out in a whisper just before a snow-white panther appeared out of the smoke in front of her as the green hair Genin wrote a message in a blank scroll that she had pulled out. Once it was done with the note, the Miran tied it onto the back of the white tiger to keep it in place. "Get this to Anko as quickly as possible and let her know that I sent you."
"Yes, Lady Raika," the white tiger said before it took off at a fast speed.
Raika watched as her summons took off before turning back to the fight. The girl was impressed with Sasuke's quick moves. Sasuke, however, watched as the Snake Sannin moved fast, but his eyes allowed him to keep track of the man.
'I can see,' he thought as he followed the Sannin's movement. 'I CAN SEE!'
The Uchiha was quick to dodge and used a fire style jutsu twice that seemed to trap the rogue ninja in a tornado only for Orochimaru to dive into the tree.
"UCHIHA!" the greenette called out as she noticed the movement.
Sasuke was quick to get out of the way in time thanks to the Miran.
'Your good,' Orochimaru thought. 'You anticipate my attacks, and your aim is true. You can see moves, can't you?'
…My Line…
The sky was shown to be the colors of sundown as Anko moved through the trees.
'The sun is going down,' she thought as she came to a stop. 'I've got to find him soon. My odds are bad enough as it is. They'll only get worse in the dark. But, why now? What the devil could he be after. No matter. He's here. Time to finish this.' However, it was at that moment that a familiar white tiger to her appeared. "Torasaki, what are you doing here?"
"A message from Lady Raika," a male voice came from the white tiger.
"What is it?"
"Orochimaru has attacked Squad 7," Torasaki informed.
"Fuck!" the Mitarashi cursed before she took off once again.
…My Line…
The snake let out a yell as he slammed his hands onto the tree which caused a shockwave, but Sasuke was quick to move out of the way in time. However, the Uchiha then came from the top, grabbed him the waist, and sent the Sannin headfirst into the tree causing it to crack slightly. The dark hair Genin leaped away from him which caused his legs to fall lump, however, Orochimaru turned into mud making Sasuke's eyes to grow wide.
"A substitution?" he asked in shock before he had to jump back when a barge of Kunais started to come at him.
He used ninja wire to swing around the tree before landing on the tree only to be punched and kicked a few times by the snake.
"UCHIHA!" Raika called out when saw him down.
"What a disappointment that you turned out to be," Orochimaru told him. "Your ancestors weep." The greenette narrowed her eyes wondering what the Sannin was getting at. "The Uchiha Clan should thank me for killing you." The green hair Genin looked worried. "Silly little worm."
However, just as Raika was about to jump in to help Sasuke, three little paper bombs that the Uchiha managed to snag onto the snake from behind blew which gave the dark hair Genin enough time to move out of the way. Sasuke than threw several ninja stars that he had attached to wire and all of them started to wrap themselves around the Sannin and the tree.
"Incredible," Orochimaru said as he looked around himself. "A Sharingan Windmill Trouble Attack!"
The snake soon found himself tied in place to the tree before the Uchiha went through several hand signs from where he stood with a piece of wire in his mouth.
'Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!'
Raika narrowed her eyes as they moved across the wire and burned the Sannin making him to scream.
"Did he do it?" Raika asked herself softly though she didn't look to convinced as she moved down to the Uchiha. "Uchiha!" The only female of squad 7 stopped at his side as the dark hair teen continued to pant. "You ok? Don't worry it's all over." 'I hope'
The two teammates were unaware of the wires creaking as the Snake broke free from them. Orochimaru stepped towards them before he performed a hand sign and without any warning, they all froze in place. Raika was doing her best to remain standing, and Sasuke fell to a knee.
"No, impossible!"
"Such mastery of the Sharingan at so young an age," Orochimaru praised as his voice returned to normal. "You are a true Uchiha after all." The Miran's eyes wide when the symbol that was on his forehead protector changed to the Sound Villages Symbol. "Yes, you'll do nicely." Both the green hair pre-teen and the dark hair teen tried to break free of the jutsu that held them in place. "You are diffidently his brother. If anything, your eyes are even keener than Itachi's."
'Itachi-nii?' Raika thought in surprise.
"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"My name is Orochimaru, but as to what I want…that'll have to wait until we meet again which won't happen until you finish this test with the best score of all," the snake answered as he began to burn the scroll making them to gasp.
"The scroll!"
"First, you'll have to defeat the Hidden Sound Ninja, who serve me."
"If your finish, why don't you just beat it!" Raika snapped at him in anger. "If we never meet again, it'll be too soon!"
"Oh, he and I will meet again," the snake promised as he made another hand sign only this time his neck became long like a snake.
The greenette let out a gasp when the Sannin sunk his teeth into the Uchiha's neck.
"Uchiha!" the Miran yelled as Orochimaru pulled away and his head went back to his body as Raika fought off the jutsu before moving to Sasuke's other side while the older Genin fall to both of his knees. "Uchiha!" The greenette allowed her hands to glow green before she looked at the snake with a glare. "What have you done to Uchiha!?"
"I just gave a little parting gift," Orochimaru answered. "Very Soon, Sasuke will seek me out and desire my power. In the meantime, I enjoyed the demonstration of the powers that you already possess."
He chuckled as he sunk into the tree branch until he was gone out of the greenette's sensing range. At the moment, however, the Uzumaki had her attention on Sasuke, who let out an agonizing scream, as he kneeled on all fours before he fell forward slightly burying his face into his arm making the hidden female Senju to stare at him in worry.
"Damn it!" she growled. "What did he do…" Her eyes widen as she looked at the mark on his neck in horror before she bit her thumb, ran through familiar hand signs, and slammed her hand onto the branch. "Summoning Jutsu!" The greenette could only look at Sasuke, who continued to scream in agony, making her heart to actually go out to him. "It'll be alright." Torasora appeared next to her looking confused. "You'll be just okay."
The Miran allowed to take her left hand into his right and squeeze to relieve some of the pain.
"Raika?" the white tiger spoked up. "What is going on? What happened?"
"I don't have time to explain Torasora," the green hair Genin stated. "I need you to go and get Naruto." Her summons stared at her before nodding her head and quickly went to get the blonde while Raika turned back to the Uchiha. "Just hold on, okay, Uchiha? We'll find some place to rest soon." Sasuke let out one more scream of pain before he fainted. "I'm sorry." The green hair Genin let tears come to her eyes. "I should have stepped in sooner. I should have helped you fight him off." Her shoulders started to shake with soft sobs. "What kind of teammate am I?"
"You're a medic," Torasora answered making the greenette to look up. "More importantly, you are Team 7's medic." The white tiger gently nudged her summoner. "And as the medic, you couldn't jump into the fight, nor could you get either injured or killed."
"Torasora?"
"So, it's not your felt, Kitten," Torasora told her as she smiled softly at the green hair pre-teen. "Now, let's find a place for them to rest and we'll take turns keeping watch."
Raika smiled softly as well before she nodded her head in agreement. She then made a clone to help put Sasuke onto Torasora's back with the Uzumaki before she led the way to a place to rest up and hide to take of Sasuke and Naruto.
…My Line…
After leaving Team 7, Orochimaru rosed out of a tree.
…My Line…
Anko ran quickly hoping that the three Genin managed to escape him.
'I can feel him,' she thought angerly.
…My Line…
The Snake Sannin started to merge with a tree unaware that his former student was rushing towards him.
…My Line…
The Exam Proctor jumped a gap in the trees as she neared the man.
'He's somewhere close,' Anko thought as she quickly jumped to another tree.
…My Line…
"Well, well, Anko," Orochimaru spoked up as he opened his eyes to look at the Mitarashi. "It's been a while."
"This is no time to reminisce," Anko stated. "You're an S Class Criminal. Top of the most wanted list. You've got to be taken down. And it is only fitting that I've got to be the one to do it." Senbone fall into her hands from her sleeves. "After all, you are the one, who taught me everything…right Sensei?"
"Not quite," the Snake answered before using his own tongue to attack her.
The Mitarashi dodged the attack quickly, however, she was taken by surprise. It came at her again and this time grabbed her by the wrist which forced her to drop her weapons. Orochimaru then pulled her off her tree and back onto his own with his tongue.
"Shrieking Shadow Snakes!" Anko called out as she unleashed about five snakes from her sleeves. "Come on out of there!" The Exim Protector yanked hard on the snakes and pulled Orochimaru from the tree before slamming him into another. She then called back her snakes before nailing her hand to his own. "Ha, I've got chya." The Mitarashi smirked at him. "Now just let me borrow you left her hand."
She took his hand and formed a hand sign.
"That hand sign," Orochimaru gasped in shock.
"That's right," Anko agreed. "It's over. You and I are going to die here." She took a deep breath. 'Ninja Art: Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu!'
A voice that sounded like it was laughing would be heard, but it wasn't coming from the man in front of her.
"I am afraid that you will be dying alone, Anko," Orochimaru's voice stated making the young woman to gasp in shock as he appeared behind her. "That's right." He pulled off his false face as Anko looked behind her. "Substitution." The Mitarashi once again gasped as she looked back in front of her to see the other Snake turned to mud while the real one laughed. "Of course, your one of the Elites now. A righteous warrior. How naughty of you to be using the Forbidden Jutsu that I taught?" Anko took the kunai out of her hand and threw it at him only for the Sannin to catch it. "That wouldn't work, Anko."
He then activated a mark that he, himself, had put onto Anko making her freeze up before he walked towards her after dropping the kunai.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm disappointed," the Snake Sannin said. "I expected a friendlier reception after all this time."
"Don't tell me, you've came here to assassinate Lord Hokage?"
"Oh, no, not yet," he answered with a shake of his head. "I don't quite have enough followers to attempt that. I just heard so much good things about this village, I thought that I make it mine." Anko let out a groan before she fell to her knees. "Ah, is the mark, isn't it? I put that same mark on a young man not too long ago." Orochimaru knelt down in front of her. "He's a very promising prospect."
"You haven't changed I see," Anko told him. "He'll die before he serves you."
"Quite possibly," the older shinobi agreed. "I'll say that the odds are 1 in 10 against him. But, the kid may survive as you did."
"Sounds like you want him badly, huh?"
"Ah, jealous?" Orochimaru asked as he stroked her cheek. "Is that it? You can't forgive me, can you? For using you and tossing you aside." Anko glared at him. "In some ways, the boy has more potential than you had. You see, he inherited the sublime abilities of the Uchiha Clan." The Snake laughed. "And his physical abilities is excellent. Yes, he just might be the heir that I am looking for. At the very least, he makes things interesting." He smirked even more. "There is another that I have set my sights on. A young kunoichi, who has just as much potential as the Uchiha." The Mitarashi's eyes widen at that. "But, for now, I am happy with the Uchiha." The older shinobi stood up. "However, know this, I will one day come for the girl."
"Who is she?" Anko asked. "Who is this girl that has got your attention?"
"She is the one, who inherited the sublime abilities of a Hokage," he answered making her even more horrified. "More importantly, the abilities of Tobirama Senju, the Nidaime."
'A Senju lives?' Anko thought in shock. 'But, who…' A certain green hair and red eyed pre-teen flashed in her mind. "Raika Miran." She looked at him. "She's Lord Tobirama's granddaughter…isn't she?"
"Indeed," Orochimaru answered as he turned. "Whatever happens make sure that no one stops the exams early." He then stated to walk away. "After all, three of my followers are also candidates. I am looking forward to how they fair." He then vanished in flames. "Bear this in mind? If anything happens that deprives me of my fun it will mean the end of Konoha."
…My Line…
"Alright, that's enough resting up, I think," Neji said as he and his team sat at a small stream. "The other teams will be calling it a day soon." He then looked up at his teammates. "And that means, that it's time to strike. You know what that means? We split up. And no matter what happens or even if we meet another team or not…" He stood up. "We are to meet up back here." He embedded the kunai that he was holding into the ground. "Got it?"
"No sweat."
"Roger."
"Alright then. Let's moves."
Team Gai were quick to take off after that.
…My Line…
The Uchiha let out a groan making the greenette to check his temperature.
"He's finally resting better, however…" she looked at her tiger summons. "He's fever hasn't gone down yet." Raika stood up after looking at Naruto, who was rest as well, especially after she was able to remove the seal that had been put onto the seal that held back the Kyuubi no Kitsune. "I am going to go get some water to at least try and bring it back down. So, Torasora…"
"Don't worry, kitten," the white tiger said as she moved to lay at the heads of the two boys. "I will remain here until at least one of the is wake."
The Miran smiled softly before she quickly left.
…My Line…
'It would look like that it is up to me to protect Aniki and Uchiha,' she thought as she rushed through the forest and towards the stream that she felt nearby. 'So, no more hiding. No more holding back.' Raika narrowed her eyes. 'It is time that people see what kind of kunoichi that Team Tobirama raised.'
…My Line…
In a clearing of the forest, Anko sat on a rock bandaging up her hand before she let out a sigh.
'I've wasted enough time,' she thought. 'I need to inform Lord Hokage.' The Mitarashi stood up and started to walk away only to come to a stop. "Huh?" She glared into the forest. "Ah!" A large black stripped, orange furred tiger stepped out into the clearing. "I don't have time for this." Anko then looked behind her in shock as two more appeared before she let out a groan and dripped her neck. However, out of nowhere, one of the tigers was hit by something and knocked to the ground making her to look around. "It's a Paralysis Jutsu."
"There you are Anko!" a voice called out.
Just then two men in masks appeared as she looked at them.
"Man, you ANBU goons sure took your time getting here, didn't you?"
"Well, there's no need to be getting snippy."
However, before the Mitarashi could say a word, the mark on her neck started to act up making her let out pained groans.
"Anko!" one of the ANBU men called out as he jumped from the rock he was on to the ground when the young woman dropped to her knees. "Are you alright? What is i…" It was then that he noticed what was wrong. "That cursed mark has appeared! But, that means…Orochimaru."
"What? Here? No!"
"Hurry. Let's get you up. We have to get you to Lord Hokage. We'll carry you if we have to."
"No! No. Take me to the tower."
"What are you talking about? You know, we have to raise the alarm at the first sign of Orochimaru. It's more important than the Chunin Exams."
"I know, but…alright then. Summon Lord Hokage to the tower. I'll explain everything there."
…My Line…
It was then that, three figures poked their heads out of the trees that they were in just as Raika returned with water.
"Found you," the Sound Ninja that looked like a mummy laughed. "Alright, just like Orochimaru ordered. We'll strike at daybreak and remember our target is the Uchiha and the greenette."
"Yeah, but if the other one gets in our way it's okay if we take them out, right?"
"Of course?"
…My Line…
As the sun rose, Raika, who had fallen asleep sometime in the night, woke up and looked up while Torasora watched.
...My Line...
Suiren Uzumaki: To the review left by danj09290 from last chapter: I am okay. I was just taking a bit of a break writing...okay, it wasn't much of a break as I was looking for another job...However, I was also playing Pokémon games on my Switched as well.
P.S. The episode titled 'Sakura Blossoms' what either title should I use. I just can't think of anything...like at all.
P.S.S. What do you think of crossover?
