Political Alliance
Chapter 34: Confrontations
Temari looked over at Naruto as they made their way through the forest they were currently in. Kiba had a scent and was leading the team as they were pushing themselves to catch up. Naruto had been very silent and she knew why. He was in a personal turmoil about this whole thing, Naruto was an extremely loyal person and he always hoped for the best. It was a trait that you could admire but also was a major weakness at times too. She was worried that he wouldn’t fight to his fullest if they had to fight Sasuke. She was worried that Sasuke wouldn’t hold back, in fact she had a feeling the boy might not.
She wanted to give him some advice or say something that would make him more at ease but there was nothing she could say. The only thing she could say, she had told him already. She knew exactly what he was going through and she didn’t want Naruto to go through what she went through with Kimi. It still stung to think of the other girl, she could still see both her smiling face so full of life and the headless corpse that the girl ended up as.
There were nights she still woke up in a cold sweat from it, the only comfort she found was curling up to Naruto’s warm body and letting him take away the pain and sorrow she felt in those moments in the dark. She didn’t want to see him in pain, she knew the kind of life he had lived through her brother Gaara’s life she knew the kind of pain he kept locked away so others wouldn’t see it. If Sasuke ended up dead she knew he would blame himself for this entire thing, even if it wasn’t his fault he took it upon himself to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders for some strange reason.
It was one of the things she did like about him.
But deep down, she had a feeling that this would not end well, no matter what happened she knew that this day would change a lot of things. She wasn’t sure why she felt it or what would change but she just knew deep down that this day would shape things to come. She looked at her husband and she felt that this would be a day he would remember for the rest of his life as well. Well whatever happened, she would be there for him.
Naruto barely could focus on where he was going, his body moved on its own like he knew exactly what to do while his mind was occupied. He was trying to make sense of the entire thing, he couldn’t understand Sasuke. He tried to understand him for years but he never seemed to get anywhere. Sasuke was the first person to look at him and not look through him. Sure it was a look that said ‘I’m better than you’ but to Naruto he took that as a challenge. He never told anyone this but it was trying to prove himself to Sasuke that made him train so hard.
When no one was there for him he pushed himself because he had a goal to reach. It took years but he felt that he finally reached it and Sasuke saw him as someone that was his equal. Plus there had been fun times with the team when he had actually smiled or seemed like he had a good time even though he wouldn’t admit it. Where had that Sasuke gone? He didn’t know, but whatever was going on he was going to have some words with Sasuke.
They continued on until Kakashi called for a halt. They all stopped in the branches of the trees as Naruto saw a small clearing. There were four people, one of them a girl with long red hair like in the sketch he had seen in the Hokage’s office. They were sitting around a large wooden barrel doing something with it. Naruto looked at Kakashi who seemed to be looking calmly at the place, why wasn’t he ordering them to attack, they were right there out in the open they should surprise them while they could.
Kakashi on the other hand could feel that this was all wrong. Years of experience told him to not just jump in. He looked around, he couldn’t see much in the way of traps but them sitting there totally exposed was a rookie mistake. And these were supposed to be Orochimaru’s personal unit of some kind, he really doubted that this group would make such a mistake. This was obviously a trap of some sort but what kind, well he had a few guesses but nothing he knew for sure.
He cast a look to Anko and as they shared a look he could tell she was thinking the same thing. Maybe he could get Anko to lead a group from behind. The others would wait here while he went down to trip the trap. If anyone would get out of it, it would be him and it wouldn’t be the first time. Those two ninja they ran into on the way to Wave was an example. He couldn’t remember their names though, something overly grandiose and something they didn’t deserve to be called he figured.
He was about to give Anko the plan when an orange blur jumped into the clearing.
“Give back Sasuke you bastards!” Naruto yelled out.
Kakashi blinked for a second before sighing, “I really should have seen that coming,” he said to himself. “Alright go after him before something happens.”
Naruto landed in the middle of the group fully intent to beat them into submission for some answers. “Alright you jerks where the hell is Sasuke? You better tell me where he is and what you’ve done or else!” He glared at them but they barely did anything to his appearance. If there was one thing he hated it was being ignored.
The other landed around him all ready to fight as well.
“Naruto,” Kakashi sighed to his student keeping an eye on things. “You really need to learn some patience.”
“I’ll be sure to remind him of that later,” Temari said unhappily. It was one of the hardest things she tried to teach Naruto it just seemed like he forgot his self preservation instincts at times like these. Honestly if he kept this up she would have grey hair by the time she was thirty.
They were about to move then the Sound Four suddenly turned to smoke and explosive tags were left. Kakashi yelled out a warning as everyone tried to dodge the explosions. Those weren’t the only ones either, as explosive tags were placed in strategic places. The explosions were near deafening and the shockwaves of the explosions could be felt right to their bones but they didn’t fall. When there was a break Kakashi noticed that no one had been harmed but also that they were in one spot.
He knew that they had just been manipulated into being in this area and was about to yell out to scatter when another voice was heard.
“Earth style barrier; Earth dome prison,” the real member of the Sound Four said as a large rock dome suddenly engulfed them all.
It was pretty dark in the rock dome, which made sense of course but it wasn’t very big and with everyone inside there wasn’t much room. They could walk around and stuff but the place was totally enclosed.
“What the hell is this?” Naruto asked looking around.
“It’s called a trap,” Kiba told him.
Naruto glared at him, “I know that much, I meant what kind of jutsu is this?”
“It’s not one I recognize,” Anko stated looking at Kakashi. For the man that was supposed to have taken in a thousand different jutsu he would have a better idea than most at what this might be. When he just shrugged she slumped a bit, talk about a bit of a letdown.
“Well let’s at least try to see what kind of jutsu this is then,” Kakashi said starting his hand seals. Suddenly there was a bright light as the sound of many birds chirping was heard as he created his chidori. Kakashi slammed it into the rock wall as everyone watched a large gouge was created. Everyone also watched as the damage slowly started to heal up.
“Well this is a new one for me,” Kakashi had never seen this kind of jutsu before. He kind of wished he had his sharingan uncovered it might have been a good one to add to his arsenal for a future date.
Anko looked closely at it running a hand over where the damage had been, “Huh, not even a scratch left. How about we all try different areas?”
Kakashi shrugged, “Couldn’t hurt to see if there was a limit to it all.”
“I can’t use any of my techniques in this place, it would just backfire on all of us,” Temari said clearly not happy about it. All her wind jutsus were mid to long range, she didn’t have anything that could be used here. Her new personal fans might but there was still the risk of the wind being used in this enclosed space. She would need to mould the air and if the place was air tight, well that ran some risks.
“I think I’m the same,” Tenten was just as unhappy about this. She was excited to be on such a mission but she was a range type. Plus all her really majorly powerful weapons needed room to swing and she didn’t have it with so many people packed into here.
“I think Akamaru and myself have something that can work, everyone stand back.” Kiba asked as everyone did so. Kiba and Akamaru went spinning into the enclosed area as they both smashed the walls all over the place. They left damage all over it but it slowly healed itself again.
Kakashi asked the two Hyuga to see what was going on hoping that the Byakugan what they reported wasn’t something Kakashi liked. Apparently the stone dome was covered in chakra and not only was it being directed, it was also attacking them. Kakashi thought he felt a drain, he noticed it as it felt like when he used his Sharingan but slightly different. It was more subtle drain, clearly this jutsu was designed to not only capture but let its prey exert themselves, using up more chakra as they were drained.
He had to admit, this was a good move, but he also knew that every technique had flaws in them.
Naruto was looking around them as something came to his mind, he was being trained to cut rocked with his chakra well would that work on this? Sure it was a lot bigger but Temari was good at it maybe she could try something. “Hey Temari-chan?”
“Yes?”
“How about that wind training exercise can’t you do that here?”
Temari thought about it and shook her head, “I’m good at that Naruto but I don’t have the chakra to get all of this you’d need a massive amount.”
“Well why can’t I help you?” Naruto asked her as everyone looked at him. “Remember in the forest when I helped you with your fan?”
Temari’s eyes widened as she remembered that, how could she had forgotten that. With her control and his chakra they could do it. All that wind chakra would cut this place to shreds, there was no way this guy would be able to heal from all that extensive damage in time. “It might work.” Temari explained what happened with Naruto in their last mission to those that hadn’t been there.
“Even if you can’t break it all it would weaken it enough for us to smash through,” Anko said impressed by this idea. She could see why Kakashi often said that Naruto came up with surprising ideas. “At any rate this guy is delaying us and you can bet the more time we waste here the further the others are getting away I bet.”
“So someone will have to stay behind and fight while the others go on.” Kakashi surmised what she was getting at.
“Yep,” Anko grinned, “Well I might as well do it. I can take him out and catch up the most easily out of everyone here as Kakashi has to lead the team.”
Kakashi thought of asking if she was sure but knew that she might take his head off for even insinuating she might not be able to do this. Plus she had a point, besides himself she was the most experienced one here and she had been trained by Orochimaru like the others might have been. He looked to Naruto and Temari and told them to try it.
Naruto given that he would put all his chakra into this placed his hands onto the cold stones Temari came up behind him as she laid her own hands over his. Both closed their eyes as they started with a breathing exercise to help get into sync with the other. They hadn’t trained for something like this but if it worked before it might work again. Naruto tried to slowly put his chakra out, it was hard for him to tell as he had so much. He had never had an accurate account of how much chakra he put into techniques at first.
He did his best knowing that the more he put out would be harder on Temari so he just focused on slowly leaking it out. He felt her hands warm as she tried to mould it just right along with him. Temari could start to feel Naruto’s chakra, once again it was shocking to feel this much come out of someone. It was like there was a whole lake of chakra behind Naruto. She tried to focus on the chakra, it felt like trying to control a stream of fast moving water. She took a breath to calm herself as she felt her hands on his. She let go of everything else, where they were, the trouble they were in, everything except for this moment. This moment was the only thing that existed as she concentrated and slowly she felt the chakra change.
Jirobo had been pressing against the rock wall since the technique started, he had to do else the entire thing would collapse. He could feel the chakra draining out of the team, it would take some time with them but time was on his side and the longer this took the further the others could get away. He was still surprised the loud blonde one had just jumped right into the ambush. He had set up a few other tricks to get them into it but it turned out he had over planned.
Oh well, good for him at least. He felt them trying to get out but just smirked they had no chance against this technique of his. The only weakness was that he was defenceless in this position but it wasn’t like there wasn’t anyone else to worry about so he was perfectly safe. Then he felt something else, chakra was being put into the rocks for some reason. Well whatever he would just take that as well and he did start to.
But the power just seemed to slowly increase and tried to encompass the entire dome, he wouldn’t allow that and tried to drain more of it. But the more he drained the more that seemed to be show up. He could only absorb so much at any one time and the dome wasn’t being damaged yet so he couldn’t bleed it off to help fix anything. He felt like he was in a tug of war and was slowly losing.
Then suddenly the chakra changed, it was this unrefined powerhouse and suddenly turned into this sharp feeling like tiny razor blades were pressed up against his palms. And like a sudden hurricane wind it happened, the charka suddenly seemed to attack all over the dome he pulled back his hands in a surprise cry of pain and anger. He looked at his palms to see many small cuts on them.
“What the hell was that!?” Jirobo asked himself and realized he needed to get to the rock wall again before they tried to break out. But it was too late for that, as the rock dome was suddenly smashed outward as everyone jumped out of it. Jirobo couldn’t believe that they had found a way to get out of his jutsu, how had they done it? What was that chakra he felt when his hands had been cut like that?
“Alright everyone go,” Anko said to everyone looking at the large boy in front of her. She grinned at him as she took out a kunai. “I’ll deal with the fat boy here you go and catch up.”
“Don’t try to take too long,” Kakashi said but smiled to her. “I know you like to play with your prey but we’re on the clock.”
Anko sighed in annoyance. “Yeah yeah, just go and I’ll catch up as soon as I can.” She gave them a shooing motion with her free hand not taking her eyes of the enemy in front of her. Even if the boy was young she wouldn’t take him lightly. The others went off leaving the special Jonin alone with the other boy.
Jirobo had considered doing something to slow them down but the woman in front of her seemed to think that she could take him. He didn’t know who she was exactly but she carried herself with someone with at least some experience. Plus he couldn’t really fend off the entire group for long at the very least he could take care of her and then attack the others from behind. Plus his team would most likely send someone to slow down the Konoha ninja anyway.
“You have some guts taking me on all alone,” Jirobo told her.
Anko just shrugged, “I was getting bored and it wouldn’t take much for me to deal with a kid like yourself.”
Jirobo narrowed his eyes, “I may be younger than you are granny but that doesn’t mean I’m soft.”
A vein throbbed in Anko’s head at what he had called her. Granny? She wasn’t even in her mid twenties yet and this little fat prick of a ninja dared to call her ‘granny’? Oh she was so going to make this boy pay in blood for that one. She threw her kunai out towards him as she ran forward reaching into her pockets, one of the reasons she loved her coat was that she could put all kinds of fun things in it. There were hidden pockets all over the place, some even sealed up on the inside letting her carry far more items than normally she could.
She knew he would dodge but threw out small orbs at him. He didn’t have enough time to dodge as the smoke bombs blew up making large clouds of dark smoke. She jumped high and in a sailing arc over him threw out a large number of shurikens. These she wasn’t really aiming for him, just the general area as they had metal wires on them. Holding the wires in her hand she quickly placed the ends in her mouth as she quickly went through the hand seals.
She used the fire dragon technique, a move that was similar to the usual fireball only this traveled along the wires making it looked like a dragon in appearance. As she finished she took a breath moulding the chakra in her lungs, feeling the heat building up as she spit out the fire. The roaring flames came out quickly as they went into the smoke. She dropped the wires as soon as the jutsu was finished, no sense in burning her lips on hot wires as her mouth wouldn’t be protected by chakra after the technique was finished.
When the smoke cleared she was a bit surprised to see a large rock formed box.
“Huh, nice block but not exactly good for moving around,” Anko said not sure if he could hear in there and not really caring. She pulled out another kunai with one hand and an explosive tag with the other. She wrapped up the tab onto the handle and threw it towards the rock. She brought up the arm of her coat to protect her eyes as the weapon exploded. If he was in there he wouldn’t be happy, he might have survived the explosion but the concussive force would play hell on the body. She scanned the large hole but there was nothing inside of it.
There was no way he could have made a substitution in that kind of condition, you needed a clear line of sight mostly for that plus there was no log or anything inside of it. Wait, there was something hidden at the bottom. It was slightly covered by destroyed rocks but as got closer she saw a large hole in the ground, one she hadn’t made. Her eyes widened as she then tried to quickly get away, knowing what he had done but it was too late.
Jirobo burst out of the ground behind her as his large arms wrapped around her chest. Her arms were pinned to her sides as the boy started to try and crush her with his massive arms. She had to admit he was strong for his age.
“For an old hag like yourself that wasn’t too bad of a combo,” Jirobo said to her as he tried to crush her body. “Too bad for you I’m smarter than that.”
“Tch, you think you won simply because of this? Don’t make me laugh fat boy,” Anko told him trying to see what she could do.
“Well then let me show you something else then,” Jirobo wanted to punish this woman and he was going to break her in half to do it. He called on the powers of the curse seal as the power started to flow through him as the black markings started to show up over his body.
Anko looked at the arms as she saw the markings she winced for a bit as a pain hit her neck. Her own seal was acting up in response to this but thankfully Kakashi’s new seal over it was working. When she fought her old teacher she hadn’t been able to move now it was more like a pin in her neck. She could deal with that.
“This is the power of Orochimaru and the Sound!” Jirobo stated as with the new power he started to crush the woman.
Anko gritted her teeth as she tried to keep her breath, she couldn’t cry out as the boy was squeezing her like an anaconda now. If she cried out there was no way she would be able to get that air back. She felt the pressure increase as the pain started to increase. She felt him flex his arms tightly and she couldn’t help but grunt in pain. Her arms were digging into her sides now and she felt like a tube of toothpaste at the moment. Suddenly one of her ribs make a cracking sounds as she bit her lip from crying out in pain.
That one was broken she was sure of it, another bad sound as another rib was fractured or broken. She had to do something quickly. She would die from suffocating or he would break her rib cage leaving her to a slow death from internal injuries or incapacitated to finish her off. She looked at her right wrist and put all her concentration into the seal under it. This wasn’t a weapons seal but a summoning seal.
This seal would allow her to summon a certain type of snake without blood, but it wasn’t one of her lethal snakes but he should be good enough. She concentrated pouring her chakra into it and felt the summon animal arrive.
Jirobo didn’t know what happened until he felt the sharp stings hit his arm. He grunted as he felt something touching his arm. He shifted her a bit to get a look and imagine his surprise when he saw a snake biting into his arm. He released the woman immediately as he pulled back and tried to grab the snake. It let itself go as it fell to the ground, he started at the animal as it stared at him. The snake flicked its tongue at him before vanishing into a puff of smoke.
At first he thought it had been some kind of tamed snake but that had been a summoned snake, that didn’t make any sense to him, the only one with a contract with the snakes should have been his master. That couldn’t have been the part of the same animal summons, could it? He glared at the woman who was now getting up, although she was using an arm to hold onto her injured rib area.
“Who the hell are you? How did you summon one of the snakes?” He demanded.
Anko grinned at him, “You really don’t know? Well then let me educate you, I am Anko Mitarashi, special Jonin of the Hidden Leaf and the first student of Orochimaru.” She pulled down her collar to show him the curse mark with Kakashi’s seal around it. “Take a good look, see anything familiar?”
Jirobo couldn’t believe this he hadn’t known that their master had a pupil at some stage. Of course he and the others knew he had been with the Leaf village originally, but they had never dared ask about his past there. So how could they have known he had had a student let alone one that had a curse seal marking. But there was something odd about this, the women had something around the seal, was it some kind of counter seal?
If so then he had nothing to worry about now, he relaxed a bit. If she had a full seal she might have been able to use it, if she had been able to go to the second stage then he really would have been worried but this woman seemed to try and get rid of the power. Foolish of her he thought, and it would cost her.
“If you could use that seal then I would be in trouble but apparently you actually don’t want to use it.” Jirobo sneered at her.
“I have my own reasons,” Anko stated as she didn’t want to get into that. She didn’t use the seal because she didn’t want to use it because it was something that Orochimaru had done to her. She didn’t know what it was for but looking at the Sound ninja in front of her she now had a good idea. She had never once tried to explore its abilities, mainly because of the pain it caused but she could just never bring herself to do it. She felt tainted with the mark on her and looking at the ninja in front of her just confirmed her reasons to not ever using it.
This was something that looked and felt totally unnatural. “Anyways I’m not one for long talks with my enemies since this fight is nearly over anyway, you should be feeling it pretty soon.”
“Feeling it? Feeling what exactly...” Jirobo swayed a bit as he felt his vision swim slightly. He looked at the wound of his arm and understood.
“That little guy wasn’t a lethal snake mind you,” Anko told him. “This little one I call up in case I need a person alive. His toxin is special it attacks the nerves and motor functions. Soon you won’t be able to move at all.”
Jirobo cursed under his breath, this woman was more than she appeared and he had let himself get too confident. He would have to end this as fast as he could and that meant using his full power. With that decision he called on his seal to release his full power. He felt the power flowing into his body it was like his blood was on fire when he used this power. But it was oh so lovely as well, intoxicating at the same time as his body was force through the changes.
Soon his body went through another change, his skin slowly started to turn darker with several large warts on the forehead and shoulders, his hair grew out into a long mane as his eyes took on a black and gold look to them.
Anko stood there in shock at this she never knew the seal was able to do something like this. ‘Damn it now he’s most likely even more dangerous just great. What the hell is that snake bastard doing these days, I really hope mine never does that. That’s just what I need, to turn into some kind of freaky looking monster.’
‘Damn my ribs hurt like hell too, looks like I won’t be able to catch up with Kakashi just yet. I just know I’ll hear about me being injured by some fat kid later on from him.’ She mentally scowled at that.
Jirobo charged at her with speed that surpassed what he had before, she threw herself to the side hoping to dodge it. His fist hit her shoulder and sent her flying, she hit the ground and her body skipped several times before a tree stopped her. She cried out in pain as she felt that her arm had been dislocated from that shot. His strength was something she had never faced before, he might not be on Tsunade’s level but he was getting damn close.
She forced herself to get up, letting him get close was way out of the question and with her arm like this she couldn’t use hand seals. She would have to wait him out and hope that this form wouldn’t nullify the toxin in his body. She got up on her legs, even if they were a little shaky but she willed her body to move. She jumped out of the way as the large boy slammed a fist into the tree where she had been against. The tree snapped in half from his punch.
She reached into her pockets and decided to play a bit dirty now. She threw two more small smoke bombs which he just charged through them. The Sound ninja looked around to see her in a tree branch now.
“You think that will save you? If you do then you really are an idiot,” He went through several hand seals as large rocks erupted out of the earth around Anko’s area. Some of them were taller than trees as some smashed through the forest floor. Anko had to jump to avoid the same fate as her branch as it was shattered. If one of those had hit her legs she wouldn’t be walking.
She threw one of the other small smoke bombs again and Jirobo was getting very fed up with this. He could feel his body slowing down and he was feeling tired despite using the second stage. He would just charge through the smoke not letting it to slow him down anymore. He rushed through the smoke and this time he would finish her off. But as soon as he hit the smoke cloud he screamed in pain as his hands went to his eyes, not only that he felt like sandpaper was being rubbed over his skin.
“That wasn’t a smoke bomb exactly,” Anko said smirking as she sat on another branch. “That also held a bunch of crushed glass.”
“You bitch!” Jirobo roared as his eyes hurt like hell. It was like someone was sticking thousands of needles into his eyes he was blinded now and he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Been called worse,” Anko muttered to herself as he got her weapons ready. She watched at the boy flail allow blindly. She got several kunai with the highest explosive tags that she had on her put onto the handles. She took careful aim as she threw them around the Sound ninja, they soon exploded making a large explosion. Anko was blinded by it and for a moment she thought that she might have went a little overboard with how much explosive power she had used.
She landed on the ground as the dust started to settle, she was amazed that the ninja’s body was intact. Although he was laying on the ground not moving and slowly his body started to turn back to normal. Even if the slight damage on his body told her that he suffered damage on the outside, the force of that explosion would have messed up his internal organs. Taking a good look showed her that he wasn’t breathing.
“I hate it when it’s kids,” She commented to herself as she went to the nearest tree. She gritted her teeth knowing that she shouldn’t do what she was going to do but she needed to fix her shoulder. She slammed her shoulder into the tree popping her shoulder back in. She cried out in pain as she slumped against the tree.
“Damn...I think I should train more if he’s making brats like that in Sound.” Anko sighed as she took a moment to rest before she forced herself up to follow the others.
