Chapter 26
My eyes opened and I looked around, seeing a majority of the audience was asleep. I was confused and looked at Kurenai, who was hovering over me.
"Are you okay?" She asked me.
I nodded.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Someone casted a genjutsu and the Kazekage turned on us," She replied and pointed towards the booth where the Kages were sitting. There was a large barrier surrounding it and I widened my eyes with shock. The Kazekage and the Hokage were facing each other in a battle stance.
Why would they betray us? I wonder if that's why the other Sand ninja forfeited.
Kurenai and I split up to go find the ninjas who were awake and I rushed over towards Sakura. It seems like she was able to fight the genjutsu off pretty well.
"Are you alright?" I ask her.
"Yes," She replied and stood up. "Where's Kakashi-Sensei?"
"I don't know," I replied, looking around for him worriedly.
An ANBU appeared in front of us and I sighed with relief.
"What's going on?" I ask.
They suddenly lunged for me and I blocked his attack with my fists. I stood in front of Sakura protectively.
Where's Naruto? I hope he's alright.
The ANBU lunged for me again and I dodged it, grabbing the cloak they were wearing. I ripped it off and saw it was a Sound ninja.
"Why are you doing this?" I ask him, but he didn't reply.
He kept lunging for me quickly as if he was trying to prevent me from attacking. I turned my head towards Sakura.
"Get out of here and find Kakashi!" I shouted at her.
"But, what about you?" She asked me.
"I'll be fine. Go find him," I told her and she left.
I kicked the Sound ninja, causing him to fall back onto the ground. That's when I took my opportunity and formed the rasengan in my left hand.
Before he could move, I quickly hit him with the rasengan and he went flying back, hitting the bleachers with his head. It was a hard hit, so it left him dazed. I walked over and saw that some blood was running down his face, which was probably from the bleachers.
I lifted him up by the collar of his shirt and threw him onto the ground.
"Why are you doing this? What's your motive?" I interrogate.
He looked at me and stayed silent. His mouth suddenly started foaming and I widened my eyes when I realized he had ingested a poison capsule. I backed up and suddenly felt a rush of air behind me.
I turned around and saw that another Sound ninja was trying to attack me and I kicked him away, sending him flying back. I realized that this one was bait so the other one could sneak up on me.
I glanced up at the barrier, seeing the Kazekage threw his robes off and was revealed to be Orochimaru.
That explains everything but still leaves me confused as to why he's doing this.
I saw more Sound ninjas coming for me.
"Lightning blade!"
"Leaf hurricane!"
A combination of wind and lightning suddenly sent them flying back. Kakashi and Guy were next to me suddenly and I turned my head, seeing Sakura behind them.
"Quite a lot of them, huh?" Kakashi remarked.
"Tell me about it," I snorted.
Guy noticed the man who poisoned himself. "What happened to him?"
"He was supposed to throw me off guard so the other ones could ambush me," I replied. "Orochimaru is behind this. Look!"
I pointed towards the barrier.
Guy growled in frustration. "We've been careless, and now even Lord Hokage..." he trailed off.
Sakura was staring at Orochimaru with shock. A Sound ninja almost attacked her, but Kakashi took care of them.
"We have to go help him!" I exclaimed, with worry.
"Leave that to the ANBU Black Ops," Kakashi replied.
"Yeah, but-" Guy started.
"Just remember," Kakashi said. "He is the Hokage. He can handle it,"
Before I could say something, Ibiki found me and told me that they need help with the snakes that were unleashed in the village.
I turned to Kakashi and Guy. "Can you handle it?"
They both nodded and I sighed.
"Be safe," I said and left with Ibiki.
I found a large snake trying to threaten a family and I ran over to them, immediately weaving a sign for the rasengan.
The snake was stunned.
"Get out of here!" I exclaimed to them and they ran off.
"Water style, water chains!" I weaved a sign and chains of water wrapped around the snake, trapping it in place.
I used another rasengan and knocked out the snake. It poofed away and I was relieved.
I was still thinking about Kakashi and Naruto. I hope they were okay.
I helped a few other jounin who were struggling with the snakes.
More snakes surrounded me and I weaved a sign for a lightning release.
"Lightning style, lightning beam!"
A beam of lightning formed from my hand and I aimed it towards all the snakes that were coming for me. They all poofed away after being shocked.
The snakes wouldn't stop coming.
"Ninja Art Summoning: Bring down the house jutsu!"
I sighed with relief when I recognized that voice.
A massive toad fell from the ground and landed right on top of this snake's head, crushing it instantly.
"That jutsu!" Ibiki exclaimed in disbelief and shock.
I looked at Jiraiya, who stood on the toad's head.
"Long time no see, Ibiki!" He greeted. "What have they been feeding you? You used to be a little squirt!"
Ibiki stared wide-eyed at him.
"Great job back there Hana! I thought I'd have to come in and save you from that group of snakes," He complimented.
"M-Master Jiraiya!" Ibiki said, recovering from his shock.
One of the ninjas who was with us gasped too. "Jiraiya? One of the Sannin?!"
"Alright you baby chicks," Jiraiya turned to face the last two remaining snakes. "Open wide those beady little eyes of yours and watch closely!"
He jumped a little on his right foot and struck a pose. "When it comes to dealing with otherworldly freaks and monsters, no one's better than a strange hermit ninja. Thank goodness that Jiraiya is here!"
The two snakes looked at him with confusion since they couldn't understand him.
"Now unless you wanna make this frog really mad, you'll never bother us again!" Jiraiya continued talking to the snakes.
I leaped onto the frog's head to join him.
"Thank god you're here," I said. "They kept ambushing us,"
"Where's the old man?" He asked.
"The battle arena," I said, pointing towards the large barrier.
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes at the snakes, but he had a worried expression on his face. I was worried too. The Hokage was the only other person who was ever there for me.
