Political Alliance
Chapter 28: Settling Matters Naruto was staring down the female ninja in front of him, this was the one that had most likely blown him into the trees earlier. She had a fan just like Temari’s, only in a different style. He didn’t know where Temari was, but this girl obviously knew and he would make her tell him what she knew. He charged forward making several clones as he ran at her. She smirked, she couldn’t believe he would do something so careless, was the boy an idiot or just had a death wish? She opened her fan and used it to make a large wind blowing him and his clones away. The clones disappeared when they hit the ground but Naruto slowly got up. He wouldn’t give up and he would make her tell him the truth. He threw one of the few kunai he had left knowing she would use her fan to get rid of them. When she drew back her fan he went off at an angle. Now she would have to deal with the kunai or get hit by them, while she had to focus on that he would attack her on a totally different approach. She did use the wind to knock the weapons away but with her backhand she managed to use her fan one more time. This time Naruto was thrown back into one of the large statues before hitting the ground. “Well that was better,” Kimi stated as she rested her fan on the ground and leaned on it. “But in order to beat a wind user you can’t come at us so directly and you have to be fast. In a one-on-one fight, you can’t beat someone like me.” “I won’t give up,” Naruto said through gritted teeth as he pushed himself up. “Huh, that should have broken at least one bone,” Kimi looked at the boy. He should be hurting more than just that, either she was losing her touch or the kid was tougher than normal. Then again he did survive being buried under some trees. She opened her fan ready to finish him off when she sensed someone coming up fast behind her. Kimi managed to dodge just as Temari’s kick flew past her head. Kimi turned to get her fan in use but in close quarters it wasn’t easy. “Temari-chan!” Naruto yelled out seeing her. “Leave this to me Naruto, this is personal,” Temari told him not looking at him as she wanted to keep her eyes focused on her opponent. She knew that she couldn’t let Kimi get any distance. Temari hadn’t found her fan so she was at a major disadvantage. Sure with Team 7 she had been learning some combat without the fan but it was still her preferred mode of fighting. She kept at the older woman, never letting her get any distance or time to use any technique. But she was having a hard time landing a hit on the girl too, Kimi had closed her fan and was now using it as a defensive barrier. Hitting the metal fan was like hitting a wall, she once tried for a side kick and Kimi had placed the fan in her way. Now Temari’s shin hurt like hell, she was lucky she pulled at the last moment or else she might have broken it. Kimi kept on jumping away, trying to get the distance but Temari was right on her tail the entire time. “You’ve improved,” Kimi noted as they fought. “But you still don’t know everything I taught you.” Kimi opened her ran but instead of waving it around sideways, she spun it around vertically in a circle. Temari was caught by surprise when a wind shield was created. But she had her own surprise. “You never taught me everything,” Temari bit her thumb to draw out blood. Normally she would use another means to call on him, but thankfully there were many different ways to call forth a summon animal. She called forth Kamatari, the one-eyed weasel that carried a sickle with him. “Go Kamatari!” “On it,” The weasel stated as he flew with tremendous speed at Kimi. The summon animal could move so quickly that most people couldn’t follow him. But with Kimi’s wind shield all his strikes ended up hitting her barrier. That was fine, she planned on it to get some breathing room anyway. Now she just needed a plan of attack before Kamatari went back. She could only summon him in battle for short bursts. Naruto had watched the battle and although he wanted to know what was going on with them, they seemed to know one another. The girl had said something about training Temari and she was using a fan just like his wife. Was the girl from Suna? He also wished he could help but Temari seemed really serious about fighting her alone. But she didn’t have any weapons. Then he remembered what he found on the way here. He dug into his equipment bad and pulled out the two small battle fans. She said he couldn’t help but nothing said he couldn’t at least give her back what was hers. “Temari-chan, here!” He threw them at her. She caught the items as they were thrown at her. At first she wasn’t sure what he was doing and about the chew him out when she saw what they were. The fans he had given her as a gift. She had thought that they had taken them when she woke up but they must have fallen off her. She smiled as Kimi would never expect this. She quickly ran at the other girl as she saw her summon animal leaving. “Well that was a new trick,” Kimi said as she pulled her own fan back. “But you never were able to beat me Temari. It’s time to end this, I would have preferred to kill your brother but I suppose we never get what we want.” Kimi sent out a blade of air at Temari trying to cut her in half. Temari quickly opened her fans and in a crisscross fashion created two smaller versions of the same air blade. Although Kimi’s was larger, Temari’s were more accurate and cut a hole for her passage through them. Normally her larger fan would have just cancelled out the other jutsu, this way the air blade was now cut into two as it cut two paths of destruction behind her. Kimi was surprised by this as she tried to get her fan back into position for another shot. Temari was faster though, she managed to duck under the large fan and with one swipe, cut into Kimi’s stomach with the fan in her hand. Kimi dropped her fan as she held her stomach; she hadn’t expected Temari to know a new style of fan battling. She had to admit, Temari had grown a lot since she last saw her. In a strange way she was kind of proud of that. She winced as the pain made her fall to her knees, the feel of her hot blood was covering her hands. She knew that if she pulled her hands away, her guts would spill out. She was basically dead, it only would be a matter of time now. She could die slowly as her body bled out or she could die in a short and horrible manner seeing her guts spill out onto the floor. Temari stepped forward, knowing full well the kind of damage she had just inflicted on the older girl. Kimi wouldn’t be able to use the fan against her again, not without killing herself in trying. She felt a pain deep in her heart at the sight of this, this was something she never wanted in her life. “Well...You’ve gotten stronger,” Kimi coughed up blood that most likely was seeping into her stomach and one lung from a small cut she bet. “Do me one favour, even if for old times sake?” “What?” Temari asked trying to keep her voice from cracking in seeing this. Kimi lifted her head to look at Temari without any fear. “End this, please. I don’t want this to drag out. Please send me to him, I want to see him again so bad.” Kimi said as the first tears she had shed in a year finally showed on her face. Temari placed the fans on either side of her neck, “Where’s my fan?” “Second floor, store room in the east side, you can’t miss it.” Kimi said to her. “I’m sorry,” Temari said as her hands shook. “For everything.” “Doesn’t matter,” Kimi said as she closed her eyes and thought of her dead lover again. She so hoped she would finally be united with him again. Temari shut her eyes and gritted her teeth as she slid the fans in a crisscross pattern and put some chakra into them. They created two wind cuts that decapitated the ex-Suna ninja. Temari heard the head hit and then the body, she felt the spray of blood hit her body and she slowly forced herself to look. There laying on the ground was someone that had shaped her life. Her head and body separate, there was so much blood as the girl’s heart bumped out a few more times before stopping. It was a sickening site and one she knew would never left her. “Temari-chan?” Naruto said slightly worried as he touched her arm. “I need to get my fan,” Temari said as she moved. She didn’t look back, she didn’t let any emotion onto her face. Which was just as well, at the moment she felt too numb to feel or say anything. When everyone gathered together again, they met up in one of the main rooms. Kakashi had found Sakura and made their way together. They had found Naruto and Temari, who by that time had found her fan. Soon after that they finally met up with Sasuke. When asked what happened, he just shrugged saying he had to deal with the ninja he had been trapped with. He didn’t elaborate, only that he just had to find another route as he couldn’t have broken down the door that had been locked shut. The place was starting to get more and more crowded as Naruto’s shadow clone army was starting to dwindle. They needed to come up with a plan on dealing with everything. “So, any bright ideas?” Sasuke asked as they looked around. “We need to deal with this Cain person,” Sakura said as she thought about it. “Without him, these guys won’t be much of a problem.” “I think we should burn this place down as well,” Kakashi stated seeing the surprised looks. “Well it would cover our escape as well as prevent anyone else from using this place as a base. It would scatter the men and prevent this place being used again by them or others like them.” Kakashi looked at his genin, “Naruto, Sasuke can I trust you two to do set this up?” He figured between Sasuke’s fire jutsus and Naruto’s natural ability to wreck havoc and destroy things, they could easily make this place a smouldering a ruins in a few hours. “Sure, but where are you going Kakashi-sensei?” Naruto asked him. “To take care of a loose end,” Kakashi said cryptically as he went on his way. Cain was in his room waiting for an update on what was going on. The sounds of battle had slowly been fading over time. For now he needed to know what the status was, a few men had come up and told him a few things, that there were fighting inside the compound but after that nothing else. He hadn’t heard back from those ninja either, he wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not. He looked out the large window that was behind his desk. So far the fighting seemed to be dying down. There weren’t any more explosions at least, he didn’t want to think about the repairs. He just hoped that girl was worth enough to cover it. “Interesting office,” an unfamiliar voice said behind him. “I should have known it would have been at the highest point of the building.” Cain turned around quickly but there was no one there, but then again there was a lot of darkness. He had turned out most of the lights so no one would see him at the window. Being killed while he was looking out at the battle would have been a bad move on his point simply because the light was giving his profile away at the window. He slowly edged towards his desk for the blade he kept there. “You have me at a disadvantage,” Cain said looking for any kind of movement. “It seems I have an uninvited guest. You wouldn’t happen to let me know who you are and what happened to the ninja I hired, would you?” “The name you don’t need to know as I don’t think you’re worth it, as for the ninja well.” Suddenly a presence was felt behind him as Cain felt a cold blade enter his back. He choked out a sound as he tried to look behind him. He never heard a thing, never even knew the man was behind him until it was too late. Kakashi leaned in and gently said to him, “As for the ninja, you’ll be seeing them.” He reached with his other hand and quickly snapped the man’s neck. He let him fall to the floor and left. The place would soon be on fire and he didn’t want to be here when it did. -Later- When they returned from their mission, all of village had been waiting to see them. Once again they were given a hero’s welcome. When word got around that the threat was gone people wanted to thank them all personally. But after a long mission they really needed to get to rest. So with some thanks to all the people, they moved to their rooms in the hotel eager for a rest. They were all tired and sporting some injuries as well that they needed to see to tending. For Kakashi he threw his vest down as he got out the injury kit he kept in one of his sealed scrolls. They had put a minimum amount of time on their injuries back before they left to come back to the village, but now it was time to get a better look at them. So far as missions went it hadn’t been too bad. Sure they had some problems but all missions do. No one needed to go to the hospital and they had accomplished all their goals. He doubted the survivors of that criminal organization would attack the village anymore. Not without their leader or the ninja, the people of the village could defend themselves against common criminals now. He started with fixing up his injuries, it was times like this a medic would come in handy. He only knew the basic field medic training that ANBU needed to know. As sometimes you had to do solo missions and if you got hurt, well you were pretty much screwed if you didn’t know how to treat yourself well enough to get to safety. But thinking about the mission, he couldn’t help but think something was going on that he didn’t know about. Temari looked very distracted and Naruto seemed concerned, and not for her physical injury. Someone had happened and she wasn’t talking about it. Naruto could look after that, but he would have to keep an eye on her if things got worse. She was obviously dealing with something. Then there was Sasuke, he was in deep thought as well but it seemed more like he was trying to make up his mind about something. The only one he really didn’t have to worry as much about was Sakura. She did seem a little down when she looked at Sasuke, but other than that she was doing well. This was why he didn’t like to teach young kids, they weren’t mature enough to handle some things and he had no experience in dealing with kids. It was part of the reason he always failed the previous genin teams. Well that and they had no teamwork at all, and this way he could have more time to himself. But with Team 7 he thought that maybe he saw some hope that he had found the perfect team. Well he should have known that no one was perfect he mused with a chuckle. Hell, more often than not, he was brought back to his own genin team under Yellow Flash. But it seemed that the bond of Team 7 had been shaky lately, Temari had helped. She had formed bonds with Naruto and Sakura but Sasuke still remained the problem. After finishing his first aid and laid down on his futon with a sigh. He stared up the ceiling wondering what he could do to help things out. Maybe he should ask Asuma and Kurenai? They at least had teams that seemed to work well with each other. He could ask Gai, but he dismissed that. Just because if he ever asked Gai for anything the man would hold that over his head for years and it just wasn’t worth it. Thinking of home brought his mind to Anko, maybe she could have a talk with Sasuke. He might actually listen to her as she was given a curse seal as well. Maybe they could find something in common and she could warn him about the path he was walking down. It was a long shot but it couldn’t hurt. In fact he felt that was a good idea, he’d go and see her and ask her. Thinking of the purple haired woman brought this thoughts to this little ‘friends with benefits’ thing they had going. Besides the fact that the sex was great and she was fun to hang out with, he was thinking of her more often. It was really odd, he never had a woman brought to his mind so much. Was it just lust they had with each other or could there be something more? Or maybe it was just him, after all he had never really had a real relationship. Maybe he was just catching up with his age, but he was only just twenty-six. Then again in the ninja world that could be considered ‘middle age’, that was a laugh, him having a ‘mid-life crisis’ already. Maybe Anko just wanted to have someone that she could have fun and stress relief with. After all she was a younger woman of twenty-four, she had time to just play around before she felt the need to commit to anything he bet. He sighed again, he wouldn’t think about it for now. Right now he just wanted to sleep and then face any problems in the morning. In the Temari and Naruto Uzumaki room, it was pretty silent. Naruto being mostly healed up only needed some bandages, a few were just for show for the others too. Temari needed help though as her ribs were sore as was her arms. Naruto helped with putting bandages on her exposed torso. He couldn’t help but blush as he did so but he noticed her eyes had that far away look in them. “Sorry you had to do that,” Naruto said knowing what she was most likely thinking about. “It’s okay, it happens,” Temari said in a neutral voice. “One day’s friend could be tomorrow’s enemy.” “No it’s not okay,” Naruto said sternly as his raised voice actually got her full attention. She had rarely heard him with that tone of voice to her. “You two knew each other, I don’t know the full story but I could tell that you two were friends.” “It doesn’t matter, it’s all in the past!” Temari shouted as she turned away from him. She felt the stinging in her eyes from tears. She didn’t want to cry, she didn’t want to have anyone see her cry. She hated to be seen as weak and she wouldn’t do that now. “It should matter,” Naruto said to her as he placed a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off not wanting him to feel sorry for her. “You don’t know what it’s like to kill a friend anyway.” Temari said the words without thinking them, she just wanted to lash out. She had lost one of the most important people in her life not once but twice. And this time she had killed her, she could still see the bloody corpse she had turned Kimi into, every time she closed her eyes she could see that image. There was a silence for a moment until Naruto spoke softly. “There was a boy, his name was Haku. When I first met him I thought he was a girl actually, but he helped me. He told me that to truly be strong, you need someone precious to protect. He gave me something that I hold onto, it’s one of my most important rules I live by. Then the next time we saw each other, he was trying to kill me and Sasuke.” Temari turned slowly to face him and she saw the sadness in his eyes as he remembered that day. “I never blamed him, he was just trying to protect his most precious person. I nearly did kill him too, I wanted to kill him but when I saw his eyes I just couldn’t. He was a lot like me too, I considered him a friend. But in the end he sacrificed himself to protect a ninja that Kakashi was going to kill.” “I know that it was Kakashi that did the killing blow, but I still think I could have stopped him. I could have done something, grabbed him but I didn’t. Sometimes I still think that I didn’t stop him on purpose. That a part of me was still angry that I thought at the time he had killed Sasuke.” Naruto shook his head at that. “Still, he was a good person really, and I think of him as a friend. Even though I just met him, but in the end my team killed him just because we were on separate sides.” “But I still hold onto what he taught me.” He finished he hadn’t noticed she had moved until she was holding on to him. She was holding on tightly, more for herself than anything else so he gently held her back. “How do I go on, how do I live with this?” She asked nearly choking on the tears she was holding back. “She was like an older sister to me and I...I...” “She made a choice too, she tried to kill you,” Naruto said trying to think of something that could ease her pain. “Just remember what she was like, remember the good times. Remember her as she was, that’s how I like to remember Haku, as the person I met in that field and not as my enemy who died.” Temari couldn’t take it anymore, all the pain she had been pushing down she just couldn’t do it anymore. She broke down as she started to cry into his shoulder. The pain of losing Kimi again, of learning the truth, of killing her and everything else as it was just too much. She needed something to hold onto and Naruto was perfect. He let her cry her heart out to him, letting his presence help her deal with the pain. -Sometime Later- Team 7 finally made it home without any trouble, Temari had been very quiet on the way home but no one pushed her. She was always by Naruto’s side almost like she was taking strength in just his presence. Sasuke was quiet as well and so it was left to Naruto and Sakura to try and keep things interesting as they made their way back. The two tried to lighten the mood but it wasn’t easy. By the time they reached the massive gates of the village, Kakashi could literally feel the sigh with his team. It had been a long mission and everyone would be tired. “Why don’t you all go home, I’ll handle the mission report,” Kakashi told them. His charges made their way home and Kakashi sighed not sure if he could deal with this. He wasn’t good with dealing with the emotions of ones so young. He might have to deal with this if things didn’t improve. At least with Temari, she had Naruto who seemed to be helping her with something. Sasuke was just a mystery he was walling himself up and not letting anyone even close. With Naruto and Temari, he was watching his young wife carefully. She hadn’t said much after that night she broke down crying. He figured she was just coming to terms with everything. She had told him everything about Kimi, how she had been the one that Temari had looked up to and trained her in the use of the fan. How things had gone when Gaara had killed her lover while he had been in some kind of battle lust. She went straight to the shower and changed, he felt like the same and used the smaller one downstairs in their home. When he came out he looked over the place, it had started to take on a feel of a real home lately. Here and there, there were touches of both himself and her. There were a few pictures hanging on the living room wall, of Team 7 and others. There was a picture of Temari and her old team and family. He also saw a present he made for her once. He had taken her old Suna headband and put it into a glass case and placed it on the wall. When she had seen it and asked him why he did it, he just said that she should be proud of where she came from. So that she would never forget and that everyone would know she was proud of her Suna heritage. She had given him a beautiful smile and pulled him into a kiss for that. Apparently he had made a good choice in that. He had changed in the small bathroom after taking the clothes with him for his shower. He dropped his dirty clothing in the hamper, knowing if he didn’t she would get angry with him. He finished drying his hair and placed it in there as well. Naruto made it up to the second floor. His old room before the marriage was pretty much turned into a spare room now. Since he now slept in the same bed as Temari after their wedding. At first it took some getting used to but he grew to really like it. He stepped into their room and saw that she already had a nightgown on and slipped inside the bed. She was turned away from him and he paused, wondering if she wanted to be alone. “Please stay.” Temari told him almost like she could tell what his hesitation was about. Naruto wordlessly slipped into bed with her as she turned and hugged herself to his body. She didn’t cry but she did need to have some kind of comfort. She felt a little weak at doing this but she didn’t care anymore about appearances. Besides as long as it was Naruto she didn’t care what he saw. For him she could afford to look weak because he would never judge her only love her. It was that feeling of love that she needed the most in this moment. It would take time for this opened wound to heal over again, but as long as she had her husband she knew that the healing process would be better this time around. Sasuke finally made it home and the place was quiet as usual which he didn’t mind. Sometimes he preferred the quiet. There were no distractions or anything else. No one to pressure him or fan girls to annoy him, no more people with pity in their eyes that looked at him or anything else like that. Here was a place where no one would bother him, and he was surrounded by the memories of what he had to do with his life. He had to make these halls full again one day while ensuring that no one was left to harm them. To avenge the blood that had been spilled here. He kicked his shoes off and went to his room he placed his backpack on the floor. He would go through it and get it ready for whenever they had another mission. He placed his weapon pouch off his leg and onto a small table. He slowly opened it as he placed a finger through the hole of a kunai and quickly turned. He brought the kunai up to the neck to the red headed girl behind him. “Fuck!” Tayuya cried out taking a step back. “What the hell!?” “Don’t sneak up on me, ever.” Sasuke told her as he placed the weapon back. “I see you were able to get in easily enough.” “Yeah just fucking fine,” Tayuya rubbed her neck. She thought it would be funny to sneak up on the kid, how the hell was always on their guard even in their own home? Then again given the history of this place maybe she could see why. Having your older brother kill everyone here at night, she wouldn’t sleep too heavily either. “So where can I set up?” “There’s a room down the hall, it was a spar for visitors that you can place your things.” He told her. She shrugged as she went back into the hall and picked up her bag. She couldn’t believe that she had to stay here again, but at least it was in a nice place. She wasn’t hiding in the shadows or in some abandoned building or room with the others of her team. It was good to have some personal space, honestly sometimes the others really got on her nerves. The room was pretty decent, a little dusty but then again it wasn’t like she expected him the dust the entire place. Hell given she had to hide out here it gave her something to do. She sighed, she was told to do anything in order to get the Uchiha boy on their side, and she knew that anything meant anything. Any kind of manipulation or lie, even telling him the truth, even offering him her body if it came to that, she would do anything for the mission. But she would accomplish this mission, the boy had already accepted her offer that was the first step. Now she just had to show him all the things that Orochimaru could offer him and he would go willingly.
