Chapter 34: "Oh my god, run you idiots..."
After flying for a while I finally realized that everyone's been quiet. "Umm, guys? Can you hear me? You've been awfully quiet." I said towards the earpiece.
Suddenly, Kurenai spoke. "You just revealed an SS Ranked secret to us..." She muttered.
My eyes widened a little in realization. "Oh... Right..." Images of fire balls and water dragons flash before my eyes. "Can you please not tell Sandaime sama about this?"
There was no response and I decided to just open the scroll Naruto gave me. Inside it is a detailed explanation of Orochimaru's strength and weakness. "Guys are you getting this?" I asked the Jounin.
"Yes... This is troubling, are you sure they're going to be able to handle him?" Asuma asked.
"Sakura and Shikamaru seem pretty confident about it. Maybe they do, even I don't know their whole plan." I replied.
"Just promise me you'll protect them Haios san." Kurenai said.
I nodded a little in determination. "Don't worry, I will..."
A deadly aura appeared below me. I looked down below and saw a certain red haired jinchuriki standing together with his teams against some Shinobi from Ame. "Guys... I'm afraid this is going to be a casualty..." I muttered as I watched Garra walking slowly towards the genins.
"Proceed with caution." Kakashi warned
I nodded and hovered above a branch near everyone else. "Oi brat! You should be smarter in picking your opponent!" The tallest of the Ame nin exclaimed arrogantly. "You're so unlucky to encounter us. Now hand us the scroll and we're not going to hurt you."
He's done for, killing intent just exploded from Garra, bloodlust followed shortly after along with sudden tremor in the ground. I checked on Garra's siblings and saw them smirking smugly at the team from Ame.
"Mother, mother wants your blood..." Garra muttered with a slightly insane look on his face. "I am going to kill you!" He exclaimed.
"Oh my god, run you idiots..." I heard Kurenai muttering in frustration. "I can feel the Killing Intent from all the way in the tower."
The leader of the Ame nin folded his arms in front of his chest. "Oh? Kill us you say?" He grabbed some umbrellas strapped behind his back. "Take this!" He threw the umbrellas up into the air and they all floated in midair. "Ninja Art: Senbon Shower!!!"
The umbrellas start spinning and rained down hundreds of Senbons to the ground. I put up a small force field to protect myself, but it seems that the needles are controlled to target Garra and Garra only.
A small cloud of dusts picked up as all the needles struck Garra who hasn't move from his spot. However, with the force sense I can feel a column of sands creating a shield of some sort to protect him from all the Senbon.
"Ha! He's dead! Now hand us the scroll or we will destroy you!" The Ame nin exclaimed tactlessly.
Soon enough, the dusts cleared up and the Ame nin watched in disbelief when Garra just stood there unscathed. "Heh, you think you can defeat Garra?" Kankuro said suddenly. "You all have no chance going past his shield of sands."
The Ame Nin starts trembling a little in fear. They were about to run but a sand tentacle suddenly binds them. "Yep, they're dead..." I whispered while silently wondering how Garra is going to kill them.
"You made Senbons rain from the sky..." Garra walked forward and picked up an umbrella. The sands grew and start binding the genin with sands. "Then I will make blood rain from the sky." The sand gets tighter and tighter, covering every inch of the poor genin's body.
"Gyah! Help! Somebody!" He exclaimed as he struggled against the binds. The sand gets tighter and tighter, covering his face and shut him up.
"SAND FUNERAL!!" The sands tightened even more and exploded, sending tiny bits of bloodied sands and human remains into the sky. Like a rain coming straight from fever dream, droplets of fresh blood rained down from the air.
Garra just stood there, watching the terrified genins in front of him. "There was no time to register any pain." He muttered as two sand coffin binds the rest of the Ame nin.
"WAIT!!!" One of the nin said. "You want the scroll right?" He threw Garra the scroll. "Here, you can have it, but please just don't kill us!" He exclaimed in terror.
Of course, the Jinchuriki didn't hear him. He just raised his palm and the sands bound the two of them like a coffin. "SOMEBODY HELP US!!!" One of them cried for help. "PLEASE! Somebody!" The helpless and pained look on their face is too agonizing to watch.
"Haios san... Save them and I promise I will not tell the Hokage about the secret..." Kurenai said suddenly.
That's all the reason I need...
"TEAM SHIGURE OF AMEGAKURE NO SATO!!!" I yelled out, revealing my hiding spot. "You are disqualified from this exam due to the death of a teammate!" I exclaimed, making everyone move their attention to me. Then I looked at the Suna Team. "Garra, please let go of them so I can remove them from this second phase of the Exam!"
Garra just looked at me coldly. "There's no need for that... They will die just like the rest..." He muttered while tightening his grip and making them all scream out in pain.
"Oi, Garra..." Temari said suddenly. "There's no need for that. You hear what the proctor just said, just let them go. We have the scroll." She said, trying to stop the needless murder.
Garra ignored his sister and glared at me threateningly. "Move aside proctor... Or I will be forced to kill you too." He muttered threateningly.
The sand coffin starts getting tighter and tighter. I gritted my teeth and gave Garra a full taste of Thousand Years Old Killing Intent. "SHUKAKU!!! Let go of them or I swear in the name of your father Hagomoro Ototsuki, I will make you regret this!!!"
For a second nothing happens. But then, the sand coffin start to fell apart and the Ame nin dropped unconscious on the ground. "Thank you..." I said towards Garra in respect. "You can continue now, I will take care of them."
With that, I bid the two Suna genin farewells before moving my attention to the unconscious Ame nin. I honestly have no idea what to do with them, but I decided to just fly them outside the training ground so Anko can deal with them.
[LINE BREAK]
Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest...
A certain snake Sannin watched in with keen eyes as a gang of Naruto army marches below him. The shadow clone army proves to be an effective decoy and he has lost his precious time dealing with them.
However, he finally figured it out. The Shadow Clones are diversion while the real ones teamed up with the rest of the team transformed as Naruto. Although fighting against nine genins can prove to be a problem, according to his trusted spy they don't have anything special to be wary of.
"This is going to be interesting..." Orochimaru muttered while making a hand seal. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!" A powerful gust of wind shot out of his mouth towards the genins and ripped apart all the trees in the area.
Soon enough, the dust dies down and the gang of Naruto is nowhere to be seen. The Sannin grinned a little and took out his weapon. "Impressive..."
'CLANG' He blocked a sword strike from Sasuke who floats behind him with a glowing red blade in his hand. "Chakra Construct as Weapons..." Orochimaru commented after seeing the jacket Sasuke wore and the pair of orange wings behind his back.
Sasuke leapt back from the sannin and landed on a branch nearby. He gazed at Orochimaru with his two tomoe sharingan. "Orochimaru the Snake Sannin..." He muttered while twirling the red blade in his hand. "I think you're a bit too old to attend Chunin Exam..."
Orochimaru grinned at the Uchiha. "Sasuke kun... What an interesting weapon you have there..." He opened his mouth and a sword handle emerged from his mouth. He grabbed the sword slowly out of his throat and licked his lips in excitement. "Mine is the Kusanagi..." He said after taking out a long katana – like sword from his mouth. "What's yours?"
Sasuke glanced at the blade in his hand. It is bright red with a powerful aura rolling off of it. A stylized depiction of Uzumaki clan symbol could be seen on the sword handle. The sword's hand protector looked like a stylized fox tail. "Kitsune..." He muttered with a smirk on his face.
'CLANG' the two faced off once again sending quick and relentless strikes at each other. Although Sasuke seemed to be much faster, Orochimaru is much more skillful at using sword. That way, sannin can easily keep up with Sasuke's slightly predictable strike without exerting too much force.
Suddenly, Sasuke flapped his wings as hard as he can and swiped his weapon midair. A bright red beam of light emitted from the sword and soared towards Orochimaru. The Sannin tried to block it, but his sword went past it.
"Gyah!" He exclaimed when the beam struck his body and burnt the outer layer of his skin. "Corrosive Chakra..." He gazed at Sasuke for a moment and a small grin stretched upon his face. "Kyubi!"
The Uchiha said nothing, he made a one – handed hand seal and three more of him appeared all around him. "Go!" He retreated away from Orochimaru and used the clones as diversion.
Orochimaru chuckled a little in amusement. He glanced at the clone and flickered away from existence. 'Poof' 'Poof' 'Poof' the clones all exploded in a cloud of smoke, leaving Orochimaru to pursue the Uchiha.
After a few moments of flying, Sasuke landed in the middle of a small clearing. He glanced at Orochimaru in the distance and blasted out his chakra. The Snake Sannin shivered a little in excitement at the small taste of Sasuke's chakra.
"Fufufu... Such a potent and powerful chakra..." Orochimaru commented with that wide grin on his face. "But that's not enough to hide them from me!" He looked around at the rest of the Rookie Nine hidden in the perimeter of the clearing. Then he bit his thumb and slammed it to the ground.
'BOOM' A giant snake appeared right beside him. Surprised screams followed shortly after and the Snake is enjoying every second of it. "Why don't you all go and play with my pet while I talk with Sasuke kun here?" He said.
The Snake slithered off into the forest to start chasing after the rest of the Rookie Nine. Orochimaru looked at Sasuke who is glancing at his team with a worried look on his face. "Now... Sasuke kun... How about we play around a little bit?"
