Angel of The Hidden Leaf

Chapter 35: "Sorry, we're taken. Believe it."



I watched in slight terror as a Giant Snake slithered across the Forest of Death. It is the size of a giant tree trunk and thrice as long. Its fangs are bigger than most swords and its jaws are big enough to swallow a giant boulder whole.

Suddenly, I saw a giant fist smashing against the Snake's face. With a painful smack the snake's head impacted the trees beside it before hissing in anger. It opened its jaws and tried to bite the gigantic hand.

"ROOAARR" A giant, two headed dog leapt from the trees nearby and bit the snake's head. They struggled for a moment, destroying the trees and the landscape around them. 'SMACK' The Snake managed to knock the giant dog to a giant tree nearby.

The snake slithered towards the dog to finish it off. "NIKUDAN SENSHA!!!" A gigantic figure came rolling in towards the Snake. It hits the snake right in the head and kept digging on to its body before stopping.

Before the snake could recover however, the giant dog leapt up to the sky and start spinning in midair. It creates a terrifying whirlwind of claws and fangs. Like a hot nail through butter, it pierces through the snake's head and killed it instantly.

"Wow..." I heard the jounins muttering from my earpiece. I could do nothing but nod in agreement as I watched Kiba and Choji sitting together in front of the giant snake carcass with an exhausted yet victorious smile on their faces.

After looking at them for a while, I finally noticed that they are wearing a very familiar jacket. The same one Sasuke used when he's sparing against me. "Hmm... It seems like Naruto can use Shadow Clone Jackets to share his chakra evenly among his friends..." I muttered a little in realization.

"Haios, follow the snake trail." I heard Kakashi said from my earpiece.

I flew down towards the snake carcass. Choji and Kiba waved at me and I waved back at them before following the trail this snake made.

Soon enough, I found myself flying above a small clearing. I watched with keen eyes as Sasuke Uchiha and Orochimaru the Snake Sannin faces one another. Neither of them seemed to move an inch and I'm starting to wonder what they're doing.

I flew a few meters closer and felt a ridiculously powerful Killing Intent coming from them. Sasuke with a hint of Kyubi enhanced bloodlust and Orochimaru with his pure cruel aura of death. If I were a hundred years younger, I would've fallen unconscious out of sheer terror.

"Interesting..." Orochimaru said with a creepy grin on his face. "I am looking at one person but I can feel three different chakra signatures rolling off you." He brandished his sword and took a step forward. "Uzumaki, Uchiha, and a Tailed Beast."

Sasuke tightened his grip on his glowing red sword. His sharingan tracked every single one his movement; every twitch of muscle and every flux of chakra. "What do you want?" The Uchiha asked with zero amount of fear.

Orochimaru licked his lips with his long and disgusting snake tongue. "I want your body Sasuke kun..."

Eww... A creepy weirdo asking for teenage body? He can have all my NOPE! Ugh... This is the reason why we don't get to have nice things in life.

"Sorry, we're taken. Believe it." Sasuke replied in a very familiar accent. "Give up! You don't have any chance against us!" He flickered away from existence before reappearing behind him.

'CLANG' They clashed against each other. All I could see was a blur as Sasuke sent out quick and deadly strike at the Snake Sannin. But the years of experience made it easy for Orochimaru to dodge and deflect his relentless strikes.

Suddenly, Orochimaru found a gap in Sasuke's strikes. The Kyubi Sword flew away from his grasp and landed on the ground next to him. Sasuke scowled a little when Orochimaru held the Kusanagi at his neck. "Now, now... I can teach you a lot more... Sasuke kun." He opened his jaws and his neck lengthened like a snake.

What happens next almost made me squeal like a little girl in amazement. Another sword appeared in Sasuke's hand and the genin swiftly sliced Orochimaru's head off with the sword. The sword that stuck on the ground disappeared in a puff of smoke.

'Thud' Orochimaru's headless body dropped down to the ground. Sasuke turned around and started to walk away from the corpse.

I actually thought it was all over. But Orochimaru suddenly burst from the ground behind Sasuke. "Look out!" I yelped a little, although they couldn't hear me. The snake sannin stretched out his neck and his fang found its way on Sasuke's neck.

'BOOM' Sasuke exploded right in front of Orochimaru's face. The Sannin was launched a few meters back and fell down on to the ground. "You're more powerful than you look, Sasuke kun..." He muttered with a pissed off look on his face. "We will meet again..."

Orochimaru tried to stand up. But he couldn't seem to be able to do so. "What!" His eyes wildly scanned his surroundings. Soon enough, he mustered enough strength to look beside him and saw a trail of Kunai with interconnected shadows next to him.

"Shadow Bind Technique, Success." A voice came from the trees nearby. "Sorry, letting you go is not part of the plan..." I looked closer and saw Shikamaru wearing Naruto Jacket holding him down with with a smirk on his face. "Sasuke, do it."

Sasuke took out a very familiar chakra seal from his pocket and put it on Orochimaru's forehead. "Don't even try to struggle. That seal is powerful enough to stop a rampaging jinchuriki." He said with a confident look on his face.

However, Orochimaru doesn't seem to hear him. He just lies there, like a lifeless husk. Just like the headless body from earlier...

Wait, what? How come there are two Orochimaru body?

A sword suddenly burst out of the ground and stabbed Sasuke's back. He gasped in shock and pain before exploding in a puff of smoke. "You gotta be kidding me..." Orochimaru muttered in frustration when he gets another clone already.

Then, the snake sannin made some hand seals before biting his thumb. He pressed his thumb on to the ground and smoke engulfed the clearing.

When the smoke dispersed, I found myself staring at an army of snakes covering the whole training ground. The snakes are bigger than normal snakes, but smaller than the ones Kiba and Choji fought earlier.

Sasuke didn't even flinch however, he just took out a kunai out of his pocket and threw it into the sky.

"Kunai Explosive Clone Technique!" Thousands of Kunai formed in the air all around me. They all fell back to the ground and straight towards the clearing below.

'KABOOM' Huge explosion rocked through the whole area, killing every single snake and hit a very surprised Orochimaru with explosive Kunai. The technique is so effective that the Sannin didn't even have time to escape away from the arena.

After the explosion dies down, a single ice dome stood in the clearing. Orochimaru could also be seen standing out of breath beside the dome. Then he opened his mouth and slowly regurgitated himself like a snake shedding his skin. Only 800% more disgusting than anything I've ever seen in the last decade.

"That's the third time I am forced to use this technique." He said with an exhausted look on his face. "Sorry Sasuke kun, but this is good bye." He tried to move but tangible shadow tentacles stopped his hands from moving.

About six Shikamaru surrounded him from all sides. Each one of them uses the Shadow Binding and the Shadow Sewing technique on him. "I told you, letting you go is not the part of the plan." Shikamaru commented easily. "Hinata."

Hinata stepped out of the trees nearby and walked towards the paralyzed opponent. She activated her byakugan and made the gentle fist stance. "Two!" She hit Orochimaru with her palms. "Four! Eight! Sixteen!" Her hand is a blur as she hit Orochimaru again and again, disabling his chakra. "Thirty Two!" She made another thirty consecutive strikes before stepping forward to deliver a powerful blow. "Sixty Four Palms!!!" She exclaimed.

Orochimaru staggered back in panic and agony. The shadows are still binding him and he is struggling to be free with all his might. "Tch, I don't have enough chakra to shed..." He muttered a little.

Then, Haku stepped forward from the woods. She made a hand sign and the water vapor in the air trapped Orochimaru inside a water prison. The snake's eyes widened in surprise when the water gets colder and colder, trapping him inside an ice prison.

Finally, Shino stepped into view. Hundreds of parasitic insect flows out of his body and covered the ice coffin. They dug their way into the ice and into Orochimaru's body. The path where the bug crawled through were resealed by Haku, making it impossible for Orochimaru to escape.

Now, that he is in the most weakened state I can finally see the look of despair in his eyes. Trapped inside the ice prison and unable to move anywhere.

"Nice..." Shikamaru let go of his jutsu. "Everyone, you ready?" He stood up from his position and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Ino stepped out of the clearing with her eyes closed. "Just a second everyone! Kiba and Choji are still on their way!" She exclaimed. Then she pointed at the general direction to the south. "There!"

Kiba and Choji came running in with a huge grin on their faces. They took one look on the frozen sannin and cheered inn excitement. "YAAHOOO!!! We did it everyone!! Take that you snake!" Kiba exclaimed.

Choji nodded in agreement. 'Yeah! What he said!"

Then Sasuke's jacket exploded in a puff of smoke and turned back into Naruto. The red blade turned into the little fox. "OH YEAH!!! WE KICKED SOME SERIOUS ASS BELIEVE IT!!!" He exclaimed in excitement.

Sasuke just sighed a little. "Dobe..." He muttered with a smirk on his face.

In a perfect sync everyone took out a piece of paper and walked towards the ice dome. "Sealing Technique: Nine Unified Will!!!" They all exclaimed at the same time before pressing the seals on the ice coffin.

A trail of seal slowly formed from the tags and intertwined with each other. The seals formed a symbol of Eight Powerful Clans in Konoha plus a symbol of the Leaf Village. It bonded with each other in an unbreakable bond until there is no more possible way to free the sannin trapped inside it.

Suddenly I felt a three Naruto clones running from all around the forest. They all walked towards them with a scroll in their hands. "FREE SCROLLS FOR EVERYONE!!!" They all exclaimed in excitement.

The Rookie Nine grinned and sighed in relief after realizing that they don't have to go look for the scrolls. "Thank goodness..." They all whispered at the same time.

The rest of the Clones transformed into a huge and comfortable picnic blanket. The Rookie Nine sat down together and everyone took out their respective lunch. "Oh! Choji you brought a lot!!!" The real Naruto exclaimed after seeing Choji taking out a buffet out of his storage seal.

"Osh!! Let's eat everyone!!!" Choji exclaimed followed by a cheer from everyone else.

"Nine genins... Nine genins defeated an opponent that not even an army of Jounin can survive from." Asuma exclaimed in a mixture of disbelief and amazement. "Forget Chunin, I vouch a Jounin Promotion for them!"

"True that Asuma... I can't even believe they managed to defeat Orochimaru." Kurenai muttered in the same amount of disbelief. "What do you think is going on here Kakashi?"

"Hmm? Well, let's see... We have a Chakra Powerhouse who has gained ten percent or more control of Kyubi chakra. All of which is a hundred times more efficient than normal chakra. Then there's the Shadow Clone Technique that can split apart chakra evenly, making it possible for him to share his chakra among his peers." Kakashi paused for a second and looked at each of the genins.

"Then there's also the fact that everyone here is a heir of a great clan. All of each with their own Kekkei Genkai and Secret Technique; add in a chakra boost and you have yourself an unbeatable formation. Ino can connect everyone with one another making it possible for them to talk telepathically. Choji and Kiba with the Chakra Boost is powerful enough to defeat a high level summon. Hinata, Shino, and Haku can disable their opponent with ease. Naruto and Sasuke combined is a two men army. Add Shikamaru the smartest genin in existence into the mix and you'll have yourself the most powerful formation you can ever create." He explained.

There was silence for a moment, until suddenly Asuma spoke up. "So, what do we do with Orochimaru?" He asked.

"Dump it to the deepest pit of hell..." I muttered, earning a chuckle from everyone else. "You're not thinking of trying to redeem him don't you?" I asked them.

"Of course not Haios san." Kurenai replied. "We just need to make sure nobody can free him." She added.

I rubbed my chin in deep thought. "How about we put him inside a heavily fortified safe buried 5000 feet deep inside the Hokage Monument?" I asked them. "I mean, what else should we do with it?"

"We'll talk about this later. For now, why don't you check on the other participants?" Kakashi replied simply.

I nodded in agreement before soaring off into the distance.

[LINE BREAK]

Meanwhile, in a hideout far – far away...

A brown haired woman sat cross-legged above a single pillar. She has her eyes closed with a picture of concentration in her face. "I felt a disturbance in the plotline..." She muttered a little. "That meddling pink really needs to go..."

Suddenly, a flock of paper birds flew towards her before forming into a blue haired woman sitting beside her. "Hello Vida, what are you doing?" Konan asked with a curious look on her face.

Vida looked at Konan and smiled at her. "Nothing, by the way, how are those two doing?" She asked her back.

"Hidan and Kakuzu?" Konan smiled a little. "They make quite an immortal duo." She said simply. "What about you Vida? Don't you want a partner?"

"I think we already make an awesome duo Angel chan." Vida replied with a little smile on her face. "By the way, do you have any mission? It's kinda boring here..." She asked her.

Konan rubbed her chin in deep thought. "Well... So far, we're only focusing on getting some money." She muttered. "I don't know, I really have no idea what to do..." She sighed and lowered her head. "I spent too much time with boys..."

Vida nodded in agreement. "That you are my friend." She stood up from her position and gently grabbed Konan's hand. "Come on Konan! Let's do girly stuff like..." She held out her hand and a portal appeared right in front of her that connects to a town entrance. "Shopping, Eating, Gambling! Anything to make you feel better!"

The paper angel couldn't help but smile a little. "Where are we anyway?" She asked as she stepped into the town. "I don't think I've been here before..." She looked at all the lights illuminating the whole town and the crowds all over the place. "And don't you think we should remove..." Her words were cut short when she realized that she now wears a blue dress and her hair is bright green.

Vida grinned at her. "Konan chan, welcome to Tanzaku Town!!!" She exclaimed. Then she looked around at all the hotels around her. "By the way, when was the last time you got laid?"

'SMACK' Konan slapped Vida's face as her face turned bright red in embarrassment. "How can you ask something like that so casually!?" She exclaimed in disbelief.

"Okay, so it was forever..." Vida muttered while rubbing her cheek. "So who was it? Itachi? Pain?" She made a bright orange shield to protect herself from a hail of Paper Shuriken. "Okay, so it's neither..."

"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!" Konan yelled out in a turbulent emotion of embarrassment, anger, and sadness. "Just... Shut up!"

Vida smirked at her. "Aww, come on Konan, you seriously need to loosen up!" She grabbed her hand with an orange energy whip and brought her closer. "Come on! Let's have a drink somewhere." She exclaimed.

Konan sighed a little. "I can't stay here for too long, I have to take care of Nagato." A portal suddenly appeared behind her that lead straight to the entrance of Nagato's chamber. She rolled her eyes and nodded in defeat. "Okay fine! But I am just gonna have a drink!"

Vida grinned and nodded at her. "That's the spirit paper girl! Come on, my treat!" She exclaimed. "You sure you don't wanna get laid? I have some spells that can..."

'CRACK' A very painful kick in the rib cut Vida off. "Ouch! That hurts Konan chan!" She muttered. "You seriously need to loosen up. All those stress in the Akatsuki and your shady past. You need to cut loose and enjoy life you know!"

"I told you... Just a drink..." Konan whispered with a deadly look on her face.

Vida rolled her eyes. "Meh, fine..." Then she glanced around the town a little. "By the way, since you wanted to stay faithful to this mysterious person..." She grinned a little. "Wanna shop for some toys?"

The paper angel's face turned redder than a tomato when she heard that. "Y-you..." She balled her hands into fists but couldn't form any sentence. "It-it's not like..."

"HA! Then it's settled!" Vida grabbed Konan's hand. "Come on! Let's go buy some toys so we can... you know..." She winked a little. "Play Together?"

It took every fiber of Konan's being not to faint in embarrassment or perform her suicide technique on this sorcerer.

But in the end, she was quite grateful for her presence. She does needs some stress relief...
