Chapter 22 (Part three)
Sakuras POV
"Lets see here." Kakashi said while inspecting the outside of the warehouse.
"Wont it be dangerous if you activate the mangekyou sharingan?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi nodded his head.
"You're right." He said. His eye went back to the regular phase three sharingan. "...but how will we get in?"
"Ladies ladies." I joked. I pushed Kakashi aside and cracked my knuckles. I channeled all my chakra into my fist and pounded on the metal surface. There was a hole the size of my fist in the metal. I didnt even break a sweat.
I pulled out my hand and Neji stepped in with a Kunai to cut the rest open. After awhile there was a bigger hole for all of us to get through. When we walked in, All we saw was boxes and boxes. It had a bad smell and it was really bright for a secret hideout.
"This is bigger then it looks on the outside." Gai mumbled.
"Okay team. Lets split up. Kiba and Shino you got north, Sakura and Sasuke, You go east, Ill go west by myself, and Neji and gai can stand guard." Kakashi ordered. Neji shook his head.
"I refuse to stand by while my teammate might be dead." He harshly whispered.
Kakashi put his hand on his chin. He was thinking.
"Gai, Are you okay with standing guard."
Gai nodded his head. "Okay then, Neji, you can come with me." Kakashi motioned his hand for Neji to follow him. We all scattered different ways. Sasuke and I were crouching and moving next to each of the boxes. All of the boxes had such a horrible smell to it.
I stopped and turned to one of the boxes. My curiosity was getting the better of me. Sasuke stopped as well when he realized I wasnt following him.
"We need to search for Tenten." He said. I pointed to the box.
"Aren't you curious though? These boxes have a horrible smell to it." I asked him. He slowly nodded his head. I punched the box and the horrible smell got worse. I had a bad feeling about it.
I kept punching until I saw something in the box. I pointed at it and Sasuke grabbed it, but it wasnt what we expected.
It was Tentens...dead body.
"Oh my god..." My eyes started watering. I started hyperventilating super bad. Sasuke just starred at her rotting corpse. He turned to me and put his face in my neck. His breathing was steady, and warm.
"Stop worrying...Were under some type of genjutsu." He said calmy into my ear.
"And what if were not?" I didnt believe him. Tentens dead body was right in front of me. It looked exactly like her.
"Look." He lifted his face off my neck and pointed to her face. I couldnt even stare at it without shedding a tear.
"Notice anything missing?" He asked. I looked around. An eyeball was missing, but it was noticeable. I shook my head. He pointed at her nose. There was a nose...Whats wrong with it?
"The scratch on her face is missing. Even if she was killed, The Scratch should still be on her face." He pointed out. He was right, He wasnt even a medical ninja yet he still noticed it.
"Wake me up." He put chakra in his hands and touched me. I woke up with a startle. How long have we been put under genjutsu? I heard kunais being thrown. I guess we were out for awhile. I put chakra in my hands and touched Sasuke. He woke up too.
"Well...well...well, We have a couple of people who are able to break genjutsu. I shouldn't be surprised, I heard the whole Uchiha are pretty good at genjutsu and all." A hoarse voice came into the picture. I turned to see a man with red hair and cards in his hands. He was on top of a stack of boxes
"Hisoka..." Sasuke mumbled.
"Sasuke..." The man so called 'Hisoka' mocked sasuke back.
Sasuke jumped from box to box to get to Hisokas level. Hisoka threw a couple of cards and pinned Sasuke to the wall with his cards.
"So you're curious about the boxes? Open it." He said plainly. I wasnt falling for his tricks. I jumped high and meet his level and punched him. He went flying down and landed om a box, destroying it. He got up and pointed at the broken box.
"Look at what you did! You interuped the poor mans sleep." I looked down. I saw an old man on his knees. Hisoka grabbed his chin and made him look up. He slit his throat with a card.
"You can thank Pinky over there for getting my blood lust in a tizzy." He disappeared for a quick second and appeared behind me.
"SAKURA LOOK OUT!" Sasuke yelled.
I turned to see a whole deck of cards getting thrown at me. I covered my face with my arms and felt so many cuts get on my arms.
"Shuffle no jutsu!" Hisoka shouted. All the cards he threw at me went into a floating deck shape.
"Word of advice lady, You should start running." He smiled. The floating card deck started shuffling in the air. Then it stopped. All the cards separated from each other and started shooting down at me. I felt one card get into me, piercing my skin. It stung like hell, but only one got into me. I didnt feel anything else. I opened one of my eyes and I saw it.
Sasuke took all of them for me.
"I owe you....so...much..." he managed to spit out. Blood was trailing down his head and his mouth. All the cards were either in his chest or on the floor.
I didnt know what to do. I reached out for him and touched him to see if this was reality. It was. Sasuke fell to his knees. Hisoka laughed. "Not so tuff now, are you?" I clenched my fists. No one says that about Sasuke. Sasuke feel back into my arms. I looked at him. There was no way I could save him unless I take him back home. A single tear feel down from my face to his.
"Can you hold on a little longer?" My voice cracked. I was showing too much weakness.
Sasuke nodded his head. "Ill....try." He finished. I slowly placed him down on his back. As I was getting up I heard footsteps climb up the boxes, It was Gai.
"It isnt fun if you use your chakra to get up here. I perfer using my own body strength." He flashd a smile. How does he get such perfect teeth? Better yet, Why is he smiling at such a horrible time?
I can hear Neji yelp from the other side of the warehouse, Kakashi and Neji must of gotten into trouble as well.
"Tend to as much of Sasukes wounds, then go help the others. I can kick this guys ass. NO PROBLEM!" Gai ordered and I obeyed. I rushed over to pick up Sasuke and I jumped box to box to get him to a safe place. I heard Kiba yell one of his special moves. Ok so we can assume there are only 3 enemies...I hope.
I laid Sasukes head down on a small box. I plucked every card from his body, Each card I plucked, another tear came from my eye. I couldnt stand seeing him like this.
After every card was plucked from his body I couldn't help but bring him into an embracing hug. I didnt care if there was enemies around. What mattered was that he might be okay.
"I was so worried." I said while looking into his eyes. He just nodded his head. I started to use my medical ninjutsu on him. It should heal some of it. The cards did damage him a lot, it surprisingly took his chakra along with it.
"Stay here, Call out for me if you need help, Alright? Ill just be over there." I pointed to where most of the fighting is going on. He nodded his head and I ran off to the battle across the warehouse. I knew leaving Sasuke unsupervised was bad, But Gai was handling Hisoka, and if any enemy came along, Sasuke should have enough strength for a finishing move.
When I got there, Snakes were all over the place. There was also Tenten, tied to a chair with a snake used as a rope, I could tell it was actually her since the scratch on her face was visible. Neji was struggling to get a snake off of him, Kiba was trapped in snakes, and Shino was using his bugs to fight off most of them. Kakashi was no where in sight. I jumped in the air and channeled my chakra into my fists. When gravity started bring me down, I brought down my 'Monster strength' with it.
All the snakes bounced in the air and disappeared. A small girl appeared and started running away when she saw me.
"Hey get back here!" Kiba shouted and chased after the girl. Shino ran after him.
I looked back at where Tenten was. She looked horrible. She had huge bags under her eyes and she had a black eye with a busted lip that was still bleeding. She could barely keep her eyes open
I helped her up from the chair.
"Do you think you can walk?" I asked her. She nodded her head. I let go, But Neji stepped in and picked her up and put her on his back.
"S-s-stop..." She spit out and tried to get off him. I watched the two friends fight over what would be the right thing to do, Let Tenten walk, Or give her a piggy back ride.
"CHIDORI!" All of our heads turned to the other side of the warehouse. It came from where Sasuke was...
Sasukes POV
"Stay here, Call out for me if you need help, Alright?" She said calmly. I didnt want to waste my energy so I just plainly nodded my head.
She ran off into the direction of the fighting. I just rested my head and cleared my thoughts, But some pink haired girl would always creep her ways back into my mind.
"Nice nap?" A familiar voice said. Hisoka. I opened my eyes and saw him a couple yards away from me.
"Just fine." I said while getting up. My knees were wobbly, but Sakura was able to take care of my brutal wounds.
"Heh. Well as much as Id like to chat, You're worth over a million in the market. If you're dead. Screw what the boss says. Im going to kill you." He hissed.
"Wheres Gai?" I couldnt help but ask.
"He got me mad, Strong guy he is, but hes so easy to trick under genjutsu. Right now he thinks hes beating me in a dream. Funny right?" He laughed.
I felt a sudden rage at the bottom of my heart. I wasnt good friends with Gai sensei, But he saved me. I owed him.
"You know, Arent you the last Uchiha? Other then your brother? Who murdered your entire family under genjutsu. I inspire to be your broth-"
"CHIDORI" I yelled and threw my fist somewhere, hoping I'd get him. I felt my whole hand heat up. I opened one eye. Hisoka was right in front of me, but he didnt turn into a pile of cards like last time. This was real. It was him. I looked down, My hand was going straight threw his body. Specifically the heart area.
"Smart...move....I always..." He coughed blood in my face. "-...was one to run my mouth..." He fell backwords and his whole body made a floop noise.
"Sasuke..." Sakura whispered. I turned around and saw Sakura with Neji giving beaten up Tenten a piggy back ride. Our mission was complete. We just need to find Shino, Kiba, and Kakashi.
Speaking of the devil. Kakashi hoped next to us along with Kiba and Shino.
"They escaped. Damn slippery snak-" He paused what he said and looked at Hisokas cold dead body. He closed his eyes and shook his head.
"It just happened." I quivered.
"No...Its okay" Kakashi replied with, He put a hand on my shoulder. I never was one for physical contact, But I needed it right now. I killed a man in cold blood.
"Lets go back. We'll discuss things later." Kakashi pointed to the exit and we all left. On our way there we had a conversation with Tenten. She told us she found a lost kid in the forest and she couldn't just 'Stand by'.
"Why would you talk to a stranger? Didnt your dad teach you anything?" Neji snapped. We all tried Ignoring their conversation, but it was impossible.
Tenten was silent, but she was awake.
"Well? Awnser me...Right...Now" Neji asked again, But louder and in a more menacing tone.
"I...I dont know." She sobbed. I looked back. Ive never seen her cry before, but here she was. Crying her eyeballs out.
"Im so s-sorry." She cried out.
"Dont be." Sakura stepped in. "Neji doesnt realize it, but he would of done the same thing, Hes just being an ass right now. You helped us find the people who are hunting us down. You sacrificed yourself and We should be apologizing to you." Sakura turned to me and smiled. I nodded my head and smirked back.
"Sakuras right, Thanks to you, we know where the enemy is hiding." Kakashi smiled under that mask of his.
"I say this a lot, But I truely am proud of you, Tenten." Gai slowed down to Neji and tenten and gave tenten apat on the back.
Tenten started crying again, but softer.
When we got back to home base, Sakura took Tenten to room 2 and patched her up.
I was feeling much better, But everyone insisted I get some rest. Everyone was also ordered to stay out of the kitchen because The senseis were having a meeting.
I wonder what they were talking about.
Kakashis POV
"What if they ask about the 'mission'?" Gai asked. He was slightly injured due to fighting Hisoka. We figured out why Hisoka, A powerful shinobi, would lose to Sasuke. Apparently, He was weaken by Gais moves, But he didnt want to lose to Gai, So he used the last of his chakra to put Gai in a genjutsu. A small one. He didn't want to die a coward due too low chakra, So he went to Sasuke, And thats how he died with reason. Not bad...For a serial killing coward.
"Remember the Hokages orders. Dont tell them at all costs." I repeated het words.
"We need to contact the hokage right away. We didnt expected to be tracked down." Kurenai spoke up. We all nodded our heads.
"One thing though..." Asuma took out his cigarette. "We dont even know where we are."
"Im sure one of the kids have a map." I reassured. They all nodded their heads.
"Listen..." I spoke up. "Their leader is no ordinary man. Hes quite powerful. The only intel I gained was that hes a rogue ninja from Iwagakure."
"Village hidden in the stones.." Asuma said. We all went silent.
"Lets get a goodnight rest." I spoke up. We all nodded and went off.
We have to do something about this.
