The Next Day - Tatsuyu's POV

I follow everyone as we walk and I pull out my book and I read as we walk.

"Why are you reading?" Sai asks as he falls back next to me.

I flip my page. "Because there's no one around and I can tell we aren't going to be attacked anytime soon." I say and Yamato tries binding me with his wood style, but his wood gets cut up instantly as I walk. "Nice try." I say and that shocks him.

"Tatsu is so cool!" Naruto says grinning and I look up from my book.

"Not really, I'd just rather not get into a situation that could cost me anything, especially time." I say and Naruto tries hugging me, but I hold him back by his face. "No." I say to him.

We get to an area and I put my book away as I lean against a tree and I listen to Yamato talk.

"So we're to capture you?" I ask and Yamato nods and I do a hand sign and water binds him, but he turns into wood with a poof and I raise an eyebrow. "Your just like Kakashi." I say and Naruto looks at me shocked. I jump up into the tree to avoid Yamato's wood style. I jump out of the tree as it falls and I switch from tree to tree as I use my Wind Style and Water Style on him. "Oh, don't make me use my Lightning Style." I say to Yamato who just smirks.

"You have to expect your enemy to counter you." Yamato says to me and I jump down, my hand glowing green.

"Give me a break, I thought the boys were the main part of this plan." I say and the two sweat drop from their hiding spot and I attack Yamato with my glowing, deadly green hands in the Gentle Fist manor. "Thank Kami Neji's on my team, I'd never have this much precision with my chakra." I say under my breath and then I mentally gag at what I said.

The dude is way too cocky for his own good.

I manage to hit Yamato and he turns into a substitution.

I turn around and hit him straight in the chest with my palm and he flies back into the tree and poofs into nothing.

Clone.

I dodge Yamato and I kick him in the stomach and he flies back and before he could do any hand signs I punch him into the ground and he crash lands.

"Tai-Jutsu, your teams main focus." Yamato says standing up and I nod and I do a few hand signs.

Naruto runs out with the fake Sai and then get caught by Sai and I sweat drop.

"I shouldn't even help you with how insanely stupid that was Naruto." I say and Sai runs off and then captures Yamato.

Sakura frees Naruto and I sit on a low branch in tree nearby.

"Well then, it seems Tatsuyu and Naruto have no capabilities to capture anyone and Sai is most equipped to do so." Yamato says and I look at him calmly with a mental smirk and I jump down and I walk over to him and I put my hand on his shoulder and I capture him in a water dome of dense water.

I smirk at Yamato. "Its all about catching your prey off guard." I say to Yamato and he stares at me shocked. "When your prey thinks they're safe for that moment  in time, their guard is down, when that time comes, its always best to strike quickly and capture your prey in your jaws and bite down as they struggle and wear themselves out and when that happens, you've successfully caught your prey and can take it back to your village to be examined." I say to Yamato and I release him before he ran out of air.

I go back to my spot as Naruto stares at me shocked.

"You knew Zabuza's Jutsu that captured Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto says to me and I look at him mildly surprised.

"I'm a water style user, I know a lot of Water Style Jutsu, that was a basic one." I say to Naruto.

The Next Day

I sit under the bridge with my chakra masked and I stare down at the water with the backs of my hands on my knee's. I concentrate on the water below and it slowly comes up to me in a thin line that gets thicker and it swirls around me as I sit there concentrating and I gather the chakra from the water and once my reserves are filled back up, the water drops to the river. I slowly get up and I quietly walk to the end of the bridge and I walk on the wall and I stay there as I feel the chakra getting closer.

I listen to Yamato talk to the newcomer I remember as Kabuto and Orochimaru comes out of nowhere and I hit him with a water bullet and he flies off the bridge as I jump up onto the bridge.

"You." Kabuto says scowling at me.

"Me." I say pointing to myself and Orochimaru appears behind me and I watch him out of the corner of my eye and he attempts to wrap his tongue around me, but I pull out a kunai and I hold it to his tongue as I stand there. "Try it and I'll cut your snake tongue out of your mouth." I say and he retracts his tongue.

"Well, well, well, its Tatsuyu and my experiment." Orochimaru says to us and I jump back next to Yamato and Kabuto smirks at me.

"You do realize there is water below us right?" I ask Kabuto and it dawns on him while I just keep a calm look.

Yamato calls out the others and they crouch next to me while I put my kunai away and I prepare my hand signs.

Orochimaru starts spouting stuff and it starts making Naruto mad. I walk behind Naruto and I cover his ears.

"Orochimaru, I'm gonna kill you now." I say and my water clones appear behind him and they surround him.

"You can't touch me." Orochimaru says to me with a snake like smirk and he gets rid of my water clones and I just keep a calm face as I punch Kabuto away from him and I start doing hand signs.

"Tell us where Sasuke is." I say and Yamato just sweat drops.

"So blunt." Yamato says to himself.

Naruto looks at me as I block his view from Orochimaru.

I finish my hand signs and the water comes up from the river and forms 10 dragons. "12 originals, Water Style: 10 Water Dragons." I say and Orochimaru looks at them. "Your on my playing field Orochimaru, if there is water around, you don't stand a chance, even if you are a Sanin or a Kage." I say to him.

Kabuto tries using his weakening Jutsu on me, but I counter it with my own Gentle Fist Weakening Jutsu and Kabuto scowls at me.

"I have fought both of you before, I've learned your Jutsu's and I've come up with ways to counter them." I say with a smile and Yamato shivers.

"She's a sadist." Yamato mutters.

Orochimaru ends up pissing Naruto off while I fight Kabuto and the bridge starts collapsing.

The part I'm on falls and I end up falling with it, I look up alarmed and terrified as I fall and Yamato tries catching me, but fails.

"SAI! HELP HER!" Yamato yells at him and Sai flies right past.

I growls slightly in frustration and I do a hand sign and my hair covers me and protects me as I fall and I break the surface of the water and I fall to the bottom.

My hair retracts and I hit the bottom of the floor harshly as I let out a gasp and all my air leaves and I float to the top and I gasp for breath as I swim to the side of the ravine and I sit on top of a rock as I cough.

"Looks like you had a rough fall." Kabuto says behind me and I glare at him as he jumps onto my rock with a kunai in hand.

The water around me flies upward and attempts to hit Kabuto but he dodges and I try standing up, but I can't and I scowl.

Damn it.

"What? Can't move?" Kabuto asks me with a smirk and grabs me around the waist, but gets caught in my water dome and Kabuto looks at me shocked.

"My mission, was to capture the spy that was under Sasori, you are that spy and I've succeeded my mission." I say and he scowls at me and slowly moves to my hand and weakens my wrist and the Jutsu ceases.

"I was trying to help you, you idiot, I was gonna take you back up there since you can't move." Kabuto says as he regains the breath he lost.

"No, I don't want your help." I say and I glare at him as he grabs me by the waist and jumps up onto the cliff where everyone is and sets me down as I scowl at him. "I said I didn't want your help, so now what are you going to do? I can't move, this is your chance to kill me." I say to Kabuto.

"No, your useful, we want you and the rest of Leaf Village to continue to eliminate the Akatsuki members." Kabuto says to me with a smirk. "Besides, what's the point of killing you anyways, you'll just be a trigger between the Leaf and Orochimaru for war." Kabuto says to me and Naruto crashes into the mountain behind us, but, he doesn't look like Naruto.

I watch Naruto as he hits Sakura back and I do a hand sign and my clones catch her, but they fall since they're in a no better state than I am and once she's safe, they disappear.

My reserves, just like that, gone.

"You must be pretty low on chakra, your breathing got more ragged and you call yourself a Medical Ninja." Kabuto says to me with a smirk.

"I'm sorry that I'm the one who fell to her doom and out of desperation used a lot of chakra to protect myself from dying." I say to him annoyed and Kabuto goes to help Sakura, but Yamato stops him with his wood style.

Orochimaru smirks at us and I glare back. "Tatsuyu, you seem like your in bad shape, what happened?" Orochimaru asks me with a snaky smirk.

"Go to hell and burn." I say to Orochimaru, clearly irritated. Orochimaru and Kabuto leave while Yamato takes care of Naruto and Sakura wakes up and heals him.

"Do you need help Tatsuyu?" Sakura asks me, seeing as I haven't moved.

I sigh. "No, I'm fine." I say and Yamato looks at me skeptically.

"You aren't fine." Naruto says to me.

"Just go on ahead if your going on ahead, I'll catch up, I just need a few minutes to gather some chakra." I say and Yamato nods.

"Lets just do as she says, she clearly can't keep up in her state." Yamato says and Naruto looks at him shocked.

"We can't do that." Naruto says to him.

"Just do it Naruto, don't be like Lee right now, you can barely move as is and that's better than me, follow Orochimaru, you just might find Sasuke and that's more important." I say to him sternly and Naruto looks at me shocked. "I said I'd catch up, now get moving." I say.

"No, I'm not gonna leave you here." Naruto says to me and I stare at him with a stern look.

"Naruto, I said go, just listen to me for once and do as I say, I'm ok." I say to him and Sakura looks at me worried. "I'm a Jonin Naruto, I'm a higher rank than you or Sakura, if either of you try to disobey me right now, I'll put you in your place, now get going." I say and Naruto just glares at the ground and leaves with Yamato and Sakura.

My vision clouds and my head throbs in pain, both threatening me to black out. I sit cross legged on the ground and I start gathering chakra.

"Damn it!" I say punching the ground next to me and a dent makes itself under my fist. "I let him out of my sight and I can barely even move, I just proved myself wrong." I say to myself and I lay backwards on the ground and I cover my eyes. "I can't believe I messed up, again." I say and I remove my arm and I look up at the sky as my chakra starts coming back and I take a deep breath and I release. "No, no, no, I haven't failed yet." I say as I sit up and I get up. "Right, Orochimaru can burn in hell and so can Kabuto, I just have to be stronger than yesterday." I say and I do a hand sign and water flies up from the river and surrounds me and teleports me next to Yamato, surprising him. "I'll be going on ahead." I say and he sweat drops.

"That was fast." Naruto says to me.

I look at him. "Of course, your talking to a Team Guy member, I could almost beat Lee in speed." I say to him and that shock Naruto and Sakura. "Anyways, I have a mission to uphold, I'll see you when you catch up." I say and everyone just nods and I take off and I catch up to Yamato's Wood Style Clone and we stand outside a base.

"What are you gonna do?" Yamato clone asks me.

"Infiltrate, what else?" I ask.

"What are you gonna do?" Yamato asks me.

I think on it for a second before a thought comes to mind. "Just don't listen in, you won't like it." I say and he just nods.

I head into the base and I walk down the hallways and I find the main room where everyone is and everyone stares at me as I lean on the door way.

"What?" Sai asks shocked.

I smile. "Honestly, I did have a mission too you know, Yamato was so close to figuring it out too, oh well." I say and I pull out a scroll from my pouch and I throw it at Orochimaru. "Lady Tsunade thought she might as well send you a letter." I say and Orochimaru stares at me with suspicion.

"Can I look at it right now?" Orochimaru asks me.

"I wouldn't do that with all these eyes on you, its supposed to be private, wait till tonight to open it, when your about to go to sleep, when you know for sure no one is around to watch." I say to him and Kabuto holds a scalpel to my neck.

"You don't fool me." Kabuto says to me.

I sigh. "Your weapon choice isn't as extensive as TenTen's, hers actually scare me." I say as I knock his hand away from me. "Also, hello Rookie." I say to Sasuke and he scowls back.

"I'm not a rookie." Sasuke says to me.

"Oh right, that's Konohamaru and his team, actually, your a rouge of the Leaf, well, not considered a rouge, rouge, Lady Tsunade was generous and is allowing time to let Naruto and Sakura catch you, of course, I'm helping because I do have to beat some sense into you, after all, what's a Senju for other than to be Hokage and to beat sense into the Uchiha?" I ask and that makes Sasuke mad and he tries using his Gen-Jutsu on me, but I just stare straight ahead at him with out even blinking.

"This is why you Senju are cocky, you always beat the Uchiha." Sasuke says to me annoyed.

I just stay where I'm at. "Rant all you want about the Senju being cocky, its really the Uchiha." I say and Sasuke scowls at me. "I mean, how many times has the Uchiha run away from the village? Madara, Itachi, now you? I see a resemblance, you all just love to cause trouble for the Senju and Uzumaki." I say and his Gen-Jutsu hits me, but I shrug it off.

I end up getting stuck with Sai in a room and I sit in the corner.

"Why are you really here?" Sai asks me calmly.

"To keep an eye on you, Lady Tsunade's orders, can't really defy them unless I want my head beaten in, which I don't, you were never to leave my sight and yet you did." I say and Sai looks at me.

"She doesn't trust me." Sai says to me.

"Correction, she doesn't trust Danzo, frankly, neither do I, but, I don't mind you as a teammate, if you weren't a emotionless kid who left me to fall to my doom." I say and he nods.

"I was on a mission to." Sai says to me and I lean back against the wall.

"Yeah, I know, that's why your here instead of with the rest of our team and also why I'm here instead of with the rest of our team." I say to him. I pull my brush out of my bag and I brush through my hair, minding my own business while Sai does what he has to do and once I'm don, my hair is flat and Naruto and everyone else comes in and they just stare at us.

"EH?" Naruto yells pointing to me.

I sweat drop. "If you didn't know, I fell into the ravine, so my hair is still wet, I had to brush it out before it knotted together." I say to him.

"Why are you with him?" Yamato asks me.

"I'm her mission, Lady Hokage ordered her to make sure I never leave her sight." Sai says to him.

"And I also got locked in here." I say to him and I ruffle my hair to look normal.
