Angel of The Hidden Leaf

Chapter 28: "Go ahead, it'll be amusing to see him reshape the landscape."



"Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!..." I shouted over and over again from the hospital window towards the pink haired girl sitting on her table. "Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sa... Oh, thanks Kabuto." I said after the said medic opened up the window for me. "Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!"

'SNAP' The girl snapped the pencil in her hand in half and stood up from her seat. She walked up towards me with a pissed off look on her face and aimed her flashlight to my face. "Say my name again... I dare you! I double dare you Angel! Say my name again..."

I gulped a little and shook my head. "I uh... Just wanted to say that I've met the Suna Jinchuriki..." I muttered.

Sakura raised an eyebrow in interest. "Really? Did you bring the Kyubi to talk with them?" She asked while lowering her flashlight.

Phew, good thing she calms down as quick as she is to anger.

"I did, according to him the One Tail is stupid and insane." I thought back about the encounter earlier. "Also, apparently there is no seal keeping the One Tail in check so I think the Suna Jinchuriki is not that right in the head..."

The doctor thought about it for a second. "I see..." She twirled the flashlight a little. "Where's the Kyubi now?" She asked me.

"He's with..." I narrowed my eyes. "Ino? I think? I still don't get why he want to talk to her but I'm pretty sure it was her."

Sakura nodded a little and walked towards Kabuto. "Kabuto san, tell me everything you know about the Suna Jinchuriki." She said calmly towards him.

Kabuto straightened his glass and took out a card from his pocket. He flipped the card in front of us, showing a picture of Garra. "Garra of the Dessert, The Jinchuriki of the One Tailed Tanuki. He is the son of the Fourth Kazekage and the youngest of the Sand Siblings." He flipped the card, revealing more info behind them.

"As One Tail's jinchūriki, Garra is able to manipulate sand. He carries a supply of sand wherever he goes in a gourd, which itself is made from sand. This personal sand is infused with his own chakra, allowing him to deploy it faster and manipulate it more precisely. If he needs more sand, he can either use sand from the surroundings or, if there isn't any, use his personal sand to break down minerals in the ground to create some; these secondary sand supplies require more chakra to control." Then he flipped the card again and images of sand structures appeared.

"In battle, Garra's usual tactic is to remain stationary, using his sand to attack opponents from afar. The attacks typically follow the same formula: capture and immobilise the target, and then crush all parts of their body. If opponents are able to get close enough to attack him, Garra's Shield of Sand automatically protects him from all threats, even those he is not aware of." Then he flipped the card one last time.

"Since Garra's powers and ability revolves around his sand, the only way to defeat Garra is to counteract his sands. One of the ways to do this is by mixing his sands with harmful substances such as certain types of corrosive substance or by mixing it oil to make it harder to bind and control." Then Kabuto smirked and pocketed the card. "Or you know, just add water. That'll slow down the sands considerably..."

I couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Kabuto is pretty darn dangerous and badass in his own right. I mean like, there is no bloody way a regular shinobi can get their hands on this kind of information. "You're a very good spy aren't you?"

Kabuto smiled at me a little. "Thank you Haios san." He said. "But I pride my medical skills more than my espionage skills." He said.

Sakura clapped her hands and nodded. "All right, thank you for your info Kabuto." Then she looked at me for a moment. "Why don't you talk to the Jounin about this Haios? You know where they usually hang out right?"

I nodded and opened the window behind me. "Sure!" I floated up and flew out of the hospital. "I'll see you later Sakura!!!" I exclaimed.

"Later!"

[LINE BREAK]

I landed in front of a small building in the outskirts of the village. It is a Dango Restaurant that is said to also serve alcoholic drinks. I'm not that surprised really, being a Shinobi can put a heavy toll on your sanity. Sometimes you have to drown all of your weight and sorrow.

The double wooden door creaked a little as I floated into the building. I decided not to walk normally and hover in the air to show that I am not just a little girl. "Hi Haios san, what are you doing in this place?" I heard a voice calling me from the bar table.

Sitting on the bar table is a bunch of Jounins. Some I recognize and some I haven't seen before in my entire life. "Hi Kurenai senpai!" I hovered towards her and use the force to sit in midair. I can see some surprised look all around me the second I did that. "Well, I just met someone interesting just a few hours ago."

"Someone interesting?" I heard Kakashi on a seat beside Asuma. "Who was it?" He asked without taking his eyes off his book.

I create a thin bubble of vacuum around us so that no other people can hear our conversation. "It was Shukaku." I replied simply.

Asuma raised an eyebrow in interest. "Shukaku? Isn't that the name of the Demon who ruled over the Dessert?" He asked.

I nodded a little. "Well, Shukaku is the real name of the Ichibi." They all nodded in realization after hearing that. "The Kyubi told me that the Shukaku is slightly insane and not that smart." I added.

"What about the Jinchuriki?" Kurenai asked.

I thought about it for a moment, trying to find the perfect way of saying it. "Well... Think of our Jinchuriki and picture the exact opposite of him." I told them.

Kakashi rubbed his chin in deep thought. "Hmm... I'm picturing a silent, violent, homicidal, quick to anger, dangerous, powerful, and bloodthirsty girl." He said.

"That was a pretty accurate description... Except that he's a boy." I told him. "I mean, even his siblings are scared to death of him."

The Jounins thought about what I just said. They mulled over it for a moment before sighing. "Well... He will certainly be a threat to our genin." Kurenai muttered. "I might have to reconsider letting them participate in the Chunin Exam..."

I shook my head. "Nope! No can do Kurenai Senpai, the Rookie Nine have to go to the exam." I told her. "Besides, after this I am going to brief everyone about Garra and help them prepare to fight against him." I explained.

Kakashi sighed and took out a scroll out of his pocket. "I was going to give Naruto this scroll after he becomes a chunin." He slid the scroll across the table and I caught it with my hand. "But I suppose he's going to need it now."

I took a closer look at the scroll. "Exploding Shadow Clone..." I gasped a little after looking at the illustration of it. "Oh my god... Sensei, do you have any idea how dangerous he can be with this thing? Just imagine if he integrate it with his Shuriken Shadow Clone jutsu..." I shuddered a little at the thought of it.

"You don't have to give it to him." Kakashi said. "If you think it's necessary for him to learn this, then by all means. Go ahead, it'll be amusing to see him reshape the landscape." He said with that carefree look on his face.

I looked at the Scroll in my hand before looking at Kurenai sitting beside me. "Uhh... Kurenai Senpai, what do you think?" I asked her.

Kurenai looked at the scroll in deep thought. "Make him promise not to use that scroll unless it's emergency." Then she picked up a stick full of dango from her plate. "By the way, do you want some?"

I shook my head. "Nah, I'm not hungry." I floated up from my force seat and deactivated the bubble of vacuum. "See you later everyone!"

The exit was inches away from my body when something gripped my feet and pulled me towards a circular table nearby. "Whoa!" I yelped a little in surprise when whatever it was start hissing a little. I quickly drew out my shuriken with the force and use it to slice off whatever that thing is.

Once free, I quickly entered my battle pose; a Spork in both hands and a shuriken floating all around me. I looked around and saw a familiar purple haired woman smirking at me from an empty table. "Anko? Was that you and your creepy friends?"

The young woman leaned back and put both of her feet on the table. "Yep, you got a problem with that, brat?" She asked with that smug look on her face. I rolled my eyes and floated closer towards her.

You see, Anko is supposed to be my partner in proctoring the Second Part of the Chunin Exam. But it seems that she just can't stop teasing me every time I meet her. "Stop calling me brat, I'm centuries older than you!!" I exclaimed in annoyance.

"You said it yourself, you're permanently stuck as twelve years old. That means you'll stay a brat for eternity." She replied simply. "By the way, what was that you're talking with the Jounins?"

I smirked back at her. "Sorry, that's way above your pay grade." I told her. "How about you think about more important stuff like say..." I looked at her flatly. "The Chunin Exam?"

Anko just scowled and folded her arms in front of her chest. "Tch, I'll just give out those scrolls and let those brats roam in the forest." She muttered. "Who cares if they got eaten by man-eating monsters?"

For the record, I don't really endorse any of her actions. "Aren't we supposed to ensure the safety of the participants?" I asked her.

The woman stifled a laugh and choked on her saliva. "Ensure their safety? HA! Who told you that brat? Casualties in the Chunin Exam are common things, if they can't survive in a controlled environment, what makes them ready for the real world." She chuckled a little as she took a bite out of her dango. "Heck, the more casualties the better; at least that way it's easier to see who deserve Chunin rank."

Well then, isn't that just perfect? Another thing to worry about aside from the Invasion. "By the way, when is the Chunin Exam?" I asked her again.

"It's in three days, better prepare yourself angel, you'll be my eyes during the Chunin Exam." Then she winked at me. "Make sure you don't look away during the juicy parts. It's part of the uh... Assessment and Scoring system."

Okay, bloods will be spilled and lives shall be taken. There's nothing I can do about that. What I can do however is making sure that those who die aren't someone important to me. Maybe those genins from Suna or Oto can take their place.
