Sorry I'm late, there was another power outage. I've come to realize that my landlord is very incompetent and has doomed me to a constant state of worry as to when my light will be cut. Have you ever heard of pay as you go current? No? Me either.

Chapter 15.

Her heel connected with the Anbu's head stunning him. She spun and delivered a devastating blow to his abdomen, knocking him back. His comrades ran around he falling form, ignoring him in favor of flanking her in an attack. She waited until they were mere inches away before she flipped backward. Trapping their necks in her knee pits – in a flexible move – before closing her thighs, their heads colliding. They fell to the ground as she released them and leaped away.

She used the seconds of peace to examine the situation. There were three of them still; two had mange to get by her in her last attack. She gritted her teeth at that.

She glared at the offenders as they slowly rose to their feet, still dazed. She wouldn't allow them to pass.

On their feet, one begun to weave through hand seals at an incredible speed. Her hands began to move through various hand seals.

"Water style." He took a deep breath, "water bullet!" A barrage of water pebbles shot towards her.

"Water style," she breathed a wave of water that formed a wall in front of her. "Water wall!" The wall of water tanked the attack and blocked their view of her. The problem was the reverse was true. With her vision obscured, they took the diversion for what it was and attacked.

Their sword stroke true and drew first blood. She tripled backflipped away, holding her arm that now had a bleeding wound. She pushed through the pain and took a stance. It was three against one, not good odds with them working together. Had her husband was still here – or even Sakura – they could do a family combo and win this.

The Anbus regrouped and took a spearhead formation. She knew the Anbu were trained differently, though seeing as she was still alive, she wasn't impressed.

"You can't keep this up," one said, "It takes chakra to make water on such a large scale, and you don't have that big a reserve." They were right.

It was easier to manipulate the available water but in the middle of a village – let alone in the land of fire – water was scarce. There was a reason near all the hidden mist ninjas used water jutsu's; their homeland was an island surrounded by mist. The water style user was also at a disadvantage, but with two comrades to back him up, it was rather mute.

You don't become the mother of a Fuinjutsu master without learning a few tricks. With a smug look, she pulled out a scroll labeled "Water" and unrolled it. Not wanting her time to prepare, they attacked in unison. But it was in vain.

"Release."

With that one word, all hell broke loose. Like a dam breaking, a tsunami burst from the scroll, overwhelming her adversaries washing them away. Water two feet deep formed around her, she sent a silent apology to those affected by the attack and step on top of the water. As a water user, she was in her element, not wasting a second she begun to waved through hand signs. The wave was unexpected, catching them by surprise. It wouldn't work again.

As expected, they returned with a vengeance running atop the water; they attacked. Her hands formed the final seal as they launched a combined attack. Water blades, amplified but air bullets that concealed shurikens. A few seconds earlier and their attack might have worked.

"Water style," the water came alive, "water dragon Jutsu!"

A dragon made entirely of water rose from the surrounding stream and roared, throwing their attack off course. Their moment of hesitation cost them as the dragon charged crashing into their still forms. Using the surrounding water was ammunition saved her from using her reserves.

She was already weaving through another wave of hand signs by the time they emerged from the waters. It wasn't deep, but she was sure she felt confident she could drown them in it. Not wanting to give them time to rest, she dashed forward, closing the distance in a blink.

Her victim doubled over from her knee to his stomach. One to her left swung a kunai at her, she arced backward, allowing it to sail over her. She kicked him in the face, using him as a springboard to leap over the remaining Anbu's assault. All the while waving through hand seals.

She landed in a crouch, sweeping their legs from under them. She distanced herself as they fell into the water.

"Water style," she finished the hand signs, "Water Dragon vortex!"

Once again, a dragon made of water charged towards them but unlike before they didn't hesitate. Leaping back, they created a wall of water for protection but much like before it obscured their vision.

The water dragon broke apart upon impact with their wall, streaming around them. With the wave of her hand, the dragon took form behind them. Following her hand gesture, the dragon encircling them.

The force of the winds forms them from the ground and into the air. She brought her hand high the dragon following, before binging it down in a sharp movement. Egar to please the water dragon dived into the eye of its storm. The Anbu's scream turned to gurgles as the dragon's wrath fell upon them.

The resulting slash sent more waves through the village but completed its mission. There floating atop the shallow water, three unconscious Anbu laid. She stretched her senses, focusing on there still form. They were alive but unconscious, with no signs of waking. She sagged in relief, falling to one knee.

They underestimated her, and that caused their downfall. She looked at the floating scroll, spent, and now useless. Sakura had made it for her, collecting the rainfall for two months to get this result.

"It's kind of inconvenience that water style uses up so much chakra without a source of water," her daughter said, looking through a scroll. "What are the chances you'll even be near a body of water when attacked." She displayed a rare pout, making Mebuki chuckle. Knowing her daughter, she would try and find a way around this; and she was right. She found a scroll waiting for her on the kitchen counter two months later.

"Why pray for a water source, when you can carry your own," Sakura said as an explanation.

A scrolled filled with water, she chuckled as she rose to her feet. Her daughter got her brains from her, no doubt.

She turned to chase after her family.

"Leaf hurricane!"

That was the only warning she got as she was kicked in the face and sent skidding in the shallow waters. Dressed in green spandex, a new challenger appeared.

"Damn it."

Kizashi, leaped over the wood plank trying to coil around him; and wasn't that something you never see every day. As far as he knew, the first Hokage was the only one capable of using wood style. The village – for a time – had tried to replicate his technique by injecting shinobis with his DNA.

The results were; unpleasant. The test subjects would die from the strain or turning into a tree. The council stopped the experiments years ago, before which there were no positive results. Did they continue in secret, or was this child a natural-born? Seeing as he was in the Anbu, he was betting on the latter.

He landed a bit away from them, only to leap away again as the lightning user attacked from the back. They were trying to draw him away from the Uchiha compound, distracting him until their comrades arrive. It was a cautious move on their part. Sakura's presence prevented them from being careless. He wasn't sure what made them think she was a traitor, but it worked to his advantage.

They blocked his path to the Uchiha district, directing their attacks to keep him away from it. He tucked his sleeping daughter into his kimono, pulling out an unused obi and tieing it around him to keep her in place. The Anbus took a defensive stance sensing the danger. His body was unbalanced, but its nothing a father couldn't handle. He was used to her struggling to get out of his hold.

He took a battle stance and assessed the situation. The taller one was a lightning user, while the shorter one was a wood style used; that was still shocking. He was an earth style user giving them the advantage. Rather than hesitate, he charged headfirst into combat.

Hands free, he waved through hand seals, "Water style, he sunk into the ground. "Earth walk."

The move caught them by surprise, but only for two seconds. The younger of the two touched both hands to the ground.

"Wathe style, Eruption." The earth began to shake, seeking to export the shinobi within. Kizashi shot out of the ground behind the boy. There was no time to react as he punched him in the back. The boy was thrown forward in a roll before righting himself. He formed a hand seal, and wood sprung from the ground once more.

Kizashi leaped onto them, using chakra to stick to the surface. Silver hair charged him then, sword at the ready. Kizashi deflected the sword with his hand and punched the Anbu with the other. His attack missed as the silver hair leaped out od his range. The wood came alive and tried once more to coil around him. He stomped on the plank he was attached to, and it fell apart. Gravity took hold, and he fell out of their reach.

Cursing the young anbu sent the planks after him, as he fell to the ground. He landed in a crouch and rolled away, careful not to injure his passenger. Planks of wood crashed into the stone street, craking it as it followed his trajectory.

He rolled to his feet, before backflipping the out of range of another assault. Range didn't seem to be an issue as wood brast from the ground and successfully trapped him. He had but a moment to curse before he heard the screams of birds. He looked up and saw death wielding a scythe of lighting.

Following the trajectory; he would hit Sakura if he dodged backward, and kill him if he forward. He was trapped. Gritting his teeth, he sent chakra throughout his entire body. He wanted to avoid using the technique, but with their willingness to kill him and his child, he wouldn't hold back.

"Chidori!"

Lightning cut through wood and cloth as it hit its targets back. He decided to defend his child, surprising Kakashi. An image of his Chidori ripping through flesh, made him grit his teeth.

It's not the same.

His target shifted in the smoke and debris; it was only then he registered the hand around his wrist. The grip tightened as he tried to pull away.

"You're not going anywhere," a gruff, gravelly voice announced.

"Tenzo!" he cried for support. A fist connected with his face a second later, sending him flying back. His body made a crater as his back hit the ground knocking the air out of him. Years of training kicked in, he rolled backward and to his feet. Not a moment too soon as a deeper crater formed from the impact of his attacker.

A hand grabbed his collar pulling him forward. He doubled over and choked as a fist buried in his stomach. He didn't see him coming. His ear ringed as another fist connected with his left cheek and then his right. A barrage of punches assaulted him, not giving him a second to breathe. An uppercut sent him four feet off the ground before he was spiraling back with a fist to his abdomen.

She crashed land in the ground six inches deep and skidded the good nine feet before stopping. "Kakashi!' he heard Tenzo cry and then the sound of wood breaking. He forced his eyes open to see a hulking man snapping the wood coiling around him like twigs.

Kisashi Haruno, was no longer the goofy man in a loose kimono, in his place was a giant 8ft tall with glowing blue eyes. His new body was made entirely of stone and wrapped around him like armor. The movement wasn't a problem as the giant vanished only to reappear in front of Tenzo, its fist buried in his stomach.

Tenzo's limp body got tossed aside as the giant turned and ran towards the village outskirts. To the Uchiha district. He couldn't let that happen; with the Uchiha's planning a coup, they would use this as an excuse to start a war.

Struggling to his feet, Kakashi stumbled over to his comrades falling form.

"You okay, Tenzo?" he asked, shaking the boy. He groaned and pushed himself up on shaky hands.

The beating Kakashi received was enough to knock a man unconscious, to think their target had such power. They never mentioned such abilities at the briefing. Was he also an imposter?

Nibbling on a medical pill, the two Anbu's prepared to rush into the lion's den.

Things are heating up. Why are Sakura's parents so op? In another world, Kisashi became the Hokage, so he has to have some compatibility right? Worked on my gramma as per your request hope its better. The next chapter is gonna be long, so prepare for that. Sorry again for the late post, I am just as disappointed as you are.

Until next time, night song.

Next chapter May 29.
