Political Alliance
Chapter 24: The Trap When his dogs reported in, Kakashi took notice of the missing member of the team. After he sent one back to check to see if the missing member returned to their home, both dogs came back. Apparently Biscuit had followed a human and who came in contact with a ninja team. Unfortunately he couldn’t say anything more as he had nearly been killed and had transported back to their home before being fatally killed. Kakashi after being showed the path the man took, got the scent and the trail. Now he knew where the man went and the direction. The only problem was that the enemy force was already aware that they were on to them. So this led to two possibilities. The enemy would attack in a pre-emptive strike or lay a trap for them. There were at least five of them but he wanted to take them on, one at a time. There was no way to tell their levels of skill, what they could do, and many other unknowns. Waiting around for an attack was out of the question; the civilians would get caught in the fighting and could be used as hostages. Plus urban fighting was always tricky, even if you knew the layout of the city. There were too many places to hide and too many unknowns that can change. He would have to have them take the fight to them take down their numbers forcing the others to withdraw. Then track them to their hideout, and then they could plan for that part of the mission when they reached that point. So he gathered up his team and laid out the attack plan. They would go in a wide spiral pattern around the last known area that the spy had been seen. This way they wouldn’t go straight into the obvious trap that would be set, also it would allow them to notice anything on their way as the slowly made their way to the center. If the enemy force was spread out, then they would attack and overwhelm one member and take them out fast. That would give them the numbers advantage early on into the fight. So now Team 7 was traveling the treetops of the forest, they were in a five-man diamond formation at the moment. Kakashi was in the lead as his senses were the sharpest and he had done this manoeuvre plenty of times on missions. He could lead them in the correct pattern without going too close or far from the path. The three behind him were Naruto and Temari on the sides with Sakura in the middle. Since Naruto and Temari were the powerful ones they were to protect their flanks with Sakura as backup for whoever needed it. Sasuke was last as he was to protect their rear, and with the sharingan he could keep a better eye out then the others. Although this was the safest way to reach the target it was also the longest and the more boring. At least Naruto through that, he wanted to charge in but of course he had been shot down with that idea by both Sakura and Temari. He sighed, as he kept an eye out for trouble. Kakashi so far had led them into the largest circle of the pattern and moved a bit closer. They had made about a half circle when he pulled his hand up flat in the air. The team quickly gathered behind a large rock that Kakashi had stopped behind. He slowly slid his head around it to take a look, he had seen something in the distance and now he wanted to make sure. In the distance he saw a figure hunched down looking towards the area where the man his dog had tracked, had last been seen. ‘Seems like they’re watching the area,’ Kakashi thought as he scanned the area. ‘Looks like only him but either they’re spread out evenly in s circle or they’re in small groups. Can’t see the other one if they’re in partners but I can’t see everywhere. They could also be behind the tree somewhere out of my line of sight.’ Kakashi figured that this was the best way to take out one or even two members of the enemy force from the start. The noise would draw attention towards them, so if things went well he would pull them back and attack the enemy when they rushed in. He gave a few signals with his hands, this was something all ninja learned while in the academy as it was basic for survival in the field. Kakashi would attack from this position with Sakura and Sasuke, while Naruto and Temari encircled them so they could attack from the rear. This way the enemy would be caught between them, as they needed to get this over with quickly as possible. The teams split off as they moved silently to attack. Naruto was eager for a fight as ever, he couldn’t believe that someone was going to harm Inari’s village again. That village had started to come back and someone wanted to ruin it all. For Naruto this was a bit more personal for him but he couldn’t wait to kick all the asses of all these guys. Plus this was also the first real mission with Temari on the team, with her on the team he knew they would be awesome. Although he hadn’t noticed a thin wire set up on the branch where he had just stepped on until it was too late. “Wha?” Naruto looked down feeling something catch his leg and noticed the thing wire. Temari saw it as well as he eyes widened, time seemed to slow down as she grabbed his jacket and pulled him down with her as they both started to fall off the tree tops. She made it just in time as several kunai attacked to the trigger wire hit the trunk, just missing them. But it turned out it was a good idea for Temari to pull him out of the tree, as the kunai had explosive tags on them. They exploded sending pieces of wood out over the area, Temari could feel a sting of a few cuts on an arm but she had bigger issues with the ground coming up fast. Naruto wasn’t sure what was going on at first that is until the explosion happened. He quickly formed as many clones as he could, they grabbed both the real Naruto and Temari and when they were all about to hit the ground, the clones threw them up as they slammed into the ground. The clones turned into smoke as they hit but Temari and Naruto managed to get onto a low hanging branch. But by then, the entire stealth part of the plan was no longer an issue the enemy in the tree heard all the noise. Kakashi had hoped they could pull this off but no battle plan survived first contact and you couldn’t predict everything. His team rushed forward to try and surprise the man but when Kakashi’s foot hit the branch he had just stepped on, something was off. The branch gave way as it broke, he managed to see that part of the branch had actually been cut through making it really weak. He tumbled forward as he was unbalanced and tried to right himself. He managed to flip himself a bit forward with his momentum and it was a good thing he had. When he landed his heels weren’t on solid ground, he nearly lost his balance again as the ground he had landed on wasn’t totally solid. He threw himself forward as he looked back at the ground behind him. The branch had fallen through the grass as he realised that there was a hole under the ground. The branch had been cut so a person would fall into a tiger trap, and if he was a betting man he would bet there were spikes under that false grass top. Now things were starting to make sense as to why he didn’t see anyone else, they had the unfortunately luck to run into a trap user. He hated fighting trap users when they had time to prepare, you never know the kinds of things they would come up with. He looked up to see their prey was already gone, this was bad. There was no telling what else was here and that explosion would alert the rest of the enemy force to their location. They had to work fast now, they could be overwhelmed if they dragged this out. He shouted out the warning of the traps to his team in case they didn’t understand the situation. He had to gather up the team, he saw Sasuke and Sakura not far away and told them to follow him. He had to get to Temari and Naruto to make sure that they hadn’t been harmed by the explosion. He had only gotten a few meters when he suddenly jumped back a glint of light off metal his only warning as a sword came at his blind side. Kakashi got a kunai out in time to stop apparently a second sword. The man before him wasn’t the target he had been looking for, the man was slimmer build with the same dusty cloak but with a bandana on his head. He was also fighting with two ninjato type swords, unlike a katana, these blades were a bit shorter and great for slashing and quick movements. The man’s face grinned as Kakashi took notice of a few scars on the face, little ones but still noticeable. “Oh I know that face,” the sword wielder smirked, “The famous Kakashi Hatake eh? Always did want to fight someone of your calibre.” “Sorry but I don’t know yours,” Kakashi said as they traded blows with their weapons, he was a bit hard pressed to match up with the blades. The man was obviously skilled in sword play, a specialist in that field that much was obvious to him. Although he couldn’t see any symbol on him for what village he was from, so they were rogues then. “The name is Natsu, but sorry to say that’s all I’ll give you.” The man now known as Natsu told Kakashi. “Yes, well I need to finish this to help my team out.” “My friend Gin will deal with your kids, besides you should be more worried about yourself,” Natsu said as the attacks increased in speed. Kakashi barely had time to pull out another kunai to his fee hand to help with the deflecting of the blades. Even with the sharingan helping him, the man’s abilities were impressive. Kakashi was thought to how he wished he had fixed his father’s blade, that weapon would have been perfect to have in a fight like this. But there were a lot of issues he had with the blade, mainly what memories it held the day it broke. For Sasuke and Sakura things weren’t getting much better as they had to cross over a field of booby traps. However they did manage to get closer to Kakashi as he was battling Natsu the swordsman. “Kakashi-sensei!” Sakura called out to him. “I’m fine, go check on Naruto and Temari,” Kakashi ordered as he was deep in his fight. The two genins didn’t need to be told twice as they left to check on their two teammates. Temari groaned as felt her arm, she saw the cuts into the sleeve of her white battledress and saw a little blood but nothing too bad. Even though when she moved her arm to experiment, she could feel a slight pang of pain when the arm moved a certain way. Most likely she had a couple of slivers of wood in her arm, she would have to get that looked at when they could before it got infected. “Temari-chan are you okay?” Naruto asked her, he could see her wince in pain when she moved her arm. He felt guilty, he had been the one to trigger the trap and she nearly got killed saving him from it. Although he had saved them from the fall, she looked hurt and he had promised himself to take care of her. “Just a little banged up,” she told him to put him at ease. She could see the worry in his eyes, they were always the most emotional part of his face and she knew enough that she could tell his mood just by looking into those blue eyes of his. He needed to get his head together too, she couldn’t let him get distracted in a moment like this. Then she heard the sound of fighting and she could make out Kakashi fighting someone else in the small open area in the forest. “Damn, we need to hurry Naruto-kun, where did the other one go?” Temari looked around for their first target but he wasn’t in the trees anymore. Naruto looked around as well as he noticed the same thing as her. He mentally cursed himself, he couldn’t believe that he triggered that trap and nearly got himself and Temari killed. People always kept telling him not to jump into things headfirst but he was just impulsive, he couldn’t help it. But he would think later, right now their enemy had just disappeared. A loud commotion was heard where the others were and he guessed they had run into some trouble as well. A loud whistling sound was their first and only warning as they dodged out of the way of a dozen senbon needles hitting where they had been. Temari winced when she grabbed her battle fan, her shoulder was swelling up and it was making it hard to use it. She had to use both hands to really use the massive weapon. She could use the smaller battle fans that Naruto gave her, but they weren’t as powerful. She took a step and felt something in the ground give way with a click sound. “Damn it,” She cursed as she jumped out of the way of yet another trap. This one was a log with stakes put on it that slammed into where she had been and imbedding itself into the truck of a nearby tree. She was seriously getting pissed off at this guy. Naruto wasn’t doing any better, he was good at setting traps but he was never very good at avoiding them. Well at for not setting them off, he did have an unnatural ability to survive traps and he was thankful for that now. He saw Temari in trouble and tried to get closer to her, they needed each other to beat this guy and he could tell he was trying to separate them. He heard someone coming up behind him and so he quickly preformed a substitution with a log nearby when several kunai tried to imbed into his back. Naruto reappeared nearby and now he could see the guy that had been attacking them. He looked kind of skinny with white hair, and the guy was grinning like a maniac which was kind of unsettling. “Well you must live a charmed life boy,” Gin snickered at him. “now many have lived that long while I’ve placed my traps around the area. But that won’t matter too much, it’s not like a couple of kids can take me out.” “Oh yeah, we’re not just kids we’re Konoha ninja and we’re going to kick your asses for trying to harm this village.” Naruto brazenly declared to the other man. “Heh, you’re full of confidence aren’t you?” Gin laughed a bit. “Yeah and you’re going to see why,” Naruto yelled out as he created a clone while running. He had one hand held out to the clone as they formed the rasengan together. The clone then jumped onto the shoulders of the original as he lunched himself off at the other ninja. Gin threw out several small bombs that exploded taking out the clone and leaving smoke in the way. Gin jumped back but Naruto had taken advantage of the smoke as well. He altered his course and jumped through the smoke, the rasengan slammed into the body of the ninja. Naruto grinned as he thought he caught the guy but something was wrong. The rasengan was had worked but the guy wasn’t reacting. “Got’cha!” Gin said as he seemed to balloon up. Naruto was caught in an explosion, the real Gin stepped out from behind a tree chuckling. Although he specialized in traps he was also good at earth jutsu. That was a special earth clone of his that he kept on hand for just like moments like this. It held several explosives inside of it so when it was damaged the earth clone would set it off. “All too easy,” Gin grinned although that was an impressive attack the boy had he admitted to himself. He certainly didn’t want to get caught by it, now it was time for the girl. He hadn’t gotten a good look at her as he was more focused on the boy but how much trouble could a girl genin be? He looked across the field to see the blonde haired girl but he froze when he saw her fan. He knew that style of fighting, she was a long range wind user not a good opponent to fight when he was this far from her. Temari had managed to see what had happened to Naruto and gritted her teeth. She didn’t want to think how hurt Naruto might be, she was only focused on the man that had hurt her husband. She put all her strength into her holding her fan and focusing her chakra, ignoring the pain in her shoulder. She swung her fan fully exposed as she used as powerful a wind blast as she could, but the man seemed to be prepared. Most would try their own attack not knowing the full power of a wind user like her, but this man must have fought someone like her to know most attacked would just be blown back. She cursed as the man jumped out of the range of her wind blast, normally that wouldn’t be a problem but with her shoulder she wasn’t sure how many times she could use that. The pain that had flared up was very distracting for her focus. Gin saw that the girl was favouring one of her arms, in that case he had a plan already set out. He would tire her out a bit more and then when she couldn’t hold it any longer he would attack. Maybe even move her to one of the traps that was a few meters to her left. He was about to try and move himself to get into a better position when suddenly half a dozen pairs of hands grabbed onto him from behind. “What the hell?” Gin shouted trying to see who it was and saw many copies of the genin he thought he had just killed. The clones were looking slightly singed looking but they grinned as they held him into place. “Welcome to our trap.” One of the clones said to him. Temari was surprised to see Naruto’s clones, that meant that the real Naruto was still alive and well. She heard motion to her right and saw Naruto coming towards her. He had looked better but he seemed okay. “Naruto, what happened?” He grinned at her, “the rasengan took most of the explosion and flew me back into some bushes.” She was momentarily surprised but then she tried not to laugh, Naruto she had learned had the most bizarre luck in life, things that would normally kill another he seemed to find a way out of. She looked back to her target now that he couldn’t move and grinned herself, but this was more predatory. Now the ninja wouldn’t be able to dodge her next attack. She tried to lift her fan but winced and nearly dropped it, but Naruto had managed to help her catch it before it fell. “I’ll help,” Naruto told her in a serious tone. She saw the look in his eyes this was the same look she had seen back in his fight with Gaara. They were the eyes of a ninja that would never lose a look that made her get a shiver down her spin but this was a more pleasant sensation. She nodded her head as they held her fan together. “Give me the chakra and I’ll use it,” Temari told him, “but only a bit.” She was glad she remembered to add that last part, she had no idea just how much chakra she could mould herself but the amount that Naruto could use would be too much. She felt the rush of chakra filling her fan from him, all those months of training him in wind chakra had been very beneficial for this moment. When she used her fan the wind was like feeling the breeze of a wind storm, with Naruto, it felt like she was feeling the winds of a hurricane. It was so primal and focuses that it took her by surprise she had never felt anything like this in her life. The wind was nearly uncontrollable as it came from her fan she had never used such a wind attack in her life. The ground itself was tarring itself out of the ground, rocks were being lifted and sent flying, trees were bending as bark was ripped from their trunks. The ninja never stood a chance, his screams were drown out by the wind as he was flung back into a tree, other trees broke down around him as he was buried in tree, earth, rock and anything else. By the end of it there wouldn’t have been much left of the man and if he had survived he wouldn’t live for long under all of that. Naruto and Temari were relieved when their enemy went down, that meant that they had taken out one of the enemy ninja force making this fight a bit easier for their side. Temari looked to her husband and smiled, they made a good team. Maybe when they got back she would look into them training in a few combo moves. With his chakra supply and his affinity the same as hers, they could come up with some devastating wind attacks. But she never got any further in her thoughts as a huge gust of wind hit them now and this wasn’t from either of them. Temari hit the trunk of the tree, her head snapped back hitting the hard wood making her see stars. Naruto wasn’t so lucky as he was blow off his feet and hit a rock. He groaned as he slowly got to his feet, he swore he heard a female voice call out something before another wind storm came up. This one however seemed to cut the tops of the trees above him. Naruto looked up in surprise as several large logs of trees fell where he was standing. The female figure that had done this looked on as the dust cleared, she nodded her head as she turned back to Temari. Said girl was slowly trying to get her vision to steady, she saw a female figure with a cloak walking towards her. She held a fan much like her own, she couldn’t tell much else as the fan had been closed. “I never thought we’d meet here Temari-chan,” the female spoke and it was eerily familiar to Temari. “Who…” She tried to speak as she tried to get back up on her feet. The woman hit Temari in the stomach with the huge fan making the other girl fall to her knees coughing. “I’m hurt, it’s only been three years and you’ve forgotten me already?” The woman pulled back the hood and Temari’s face went pale as she could now see clearly enough the face that had been hidden. It was a woman not much older then her, with long flowing brown hair and smooth features. Temari couldn’t believe it, she never expected to see this face again. “S-Sempai!?” Next up chapter 25: Ghosts of the Pasts Well bet no one saw this coming, I decided to go a bit more into Temari’s past in this story and since so little is known I get to make up something cool that I hope you all enjoy.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
