sanmitamaya and The Hokage's Practice Fight

"If we dont hurry Sanmita we are going to be late.." Hokage and Sanmita rushed toward a huge building at the far north side of the Iron Country. "Just in time... I see the Damiyo are entering." "Sanmita?" Sanmita had fallen behind Lord Hokage while she stood looking at the huge building before her. "Its so beautiful." The Five Kage Summit was a huge Japanese style building with stained glass windows. On the floor below Sanmita's feet was a huge map of each of the Five Nations. As Sanmita and Marrik walked up a flight of stairs to the huge white doors they glanced at the statues of the Kages. There were 5 statues lined up in front of the door representing each Kage. Marrik opened the door and held it for Sanmita to enter. The two ninja walked down the long hallway towards a huge conference like room. Once they entered the room, the table was long and rectangular. There were five chairs surrounding the rectangular table, One chair for the Fire Damiyo, one for the Wind Damiyo, The Earth Damiyo, Lightning Damiyo, and The Water Damiyo. Then, next to that table was a round table with five seats, seating the representatives that the Kage's brought along with them. Lastly, There were five huge comfortable looking chairs in front of both tables. Each with the different symbol that represented each country. "Sanmita, be on your best behavior and be respectful." "Take a seat where you see the shinobi with the uniforms on." Marrik and Sanmita parted their ways. Then, a gray headed man walked into the room and shut the door behind him. Behind the man were twelve samurai with golden armor who stood in front of the door as if they were guarding it. The gray headed man walked to a podium and begun to speak. "Good Afternoon Five Damiyo and Five Kage." "Good Afternoon to those shinobi who were brought with their respective Kage as their representative." "Welcome to the Five Kage Summit." "If everyone will please stand so The Five Kage may recite the pledge." Everyone who was sitting stood up and looked straight forward to the five huge chairs in front of the tables. The Raikage then stood and took of his Kage hat and held it with both hands and said "I pledge allegiance to the shinobi of the Five Nations. Led by the Five Kage of each Nation." The Raikage then sat down and put his hat back on and The Mizukage then stood up and took her hat off and said "We come together for freedom, justice, and liberty to each nation." "Under the guidance of The Five Kage and Damiyo." The Mizukage then sat down and The Tsuchikage stood up and took of his hat and started to speak next. "We come together as a whole, to bring and end to war, strife, fear, and impurity." The Tsuchikage sat down and The Kazekage stood up and said "Together, we are one, Nations United, United we stand and United we Fall. Shinobi, Kages, Damiyo, and civilians." The Kazekage then sat down and The Hokage stood and said "Here we stand, To bring Peace and Prosperity to each of the Five Nations." Marrik then sat down and so did everyone else. The gray headed man the went back to the podium and began speaking again. "We are gathered here today under the summoning of The Village Hidden in the Leaves." "I would like to call The Hidden Leaf's representative to the podium, to bring in your leader." Sanmita then looked around and stood and walked to the podium. She cleared her throat and began to speak. "Excuse me for being disrespectful, I didnt know I would be speaking." "Anyways, Id like to bring forward our village's head, The Tenth Fire Shadow." Sanmita then left the podium and headed to her seat and Marrik rose and headed to the podium. "Damiyo, Fellow Kage, Representatives, and Guardian Samurai, I am The Tenth Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves." "My name is Marrik Hyuuga." "Some of you may know me under the alias or moniker of Konaha's Storm Sage." "Ive summoned you here today under a request for help." "A month ago, Konaha was attacked out of nowhere by Uchiha Madara." "My village was left in ruins and many of my shinobi were murdered." "We are currently rebuilding, but Ive come to ask a favor of you." "Madara stated that he would return to my village to destroy it." "Long ago, Madara made a threat simular to this one, but it involved all of the countries." "Madara has acquired all of the tailed beast, but he requires a scroll to form the Ten Tailed Beast." "That scroll happens to be the Forbidden Scroll of The First Hokage." "If Madara acquires this scroll he will indeed reign terror across The Five Great Nations." "Some time ago, under the rule of the Fifth Hokage, an alliance was formed between all the nations to fight against Madara." "I am here to ask if we may once again form a a Grand Shinobi Alliance to fight against this impending threat." The Kazekage of the Sand then stood and walked to Marrik. "As The Tenth Kazekage, on behalf of all the Kage, I think this threat is large enough for all of us to give you our assistance." "Then its settled, as of today, We have formed a Grand Shinobi Alliance." "However, to battle this impending threat, I have made a plan to counter the plan of Uchiha Madara." The Hokage then stepped down from the podium and sat in his seat...

Sanmita couldn't believe her luck. She was with 5 kage in one room!!! Talk about being lucky. She was surprised that she was able to sit at all, and more than that, no one heard the way her heart was thudding in excitement. However, she couldn't help but notice how some other protector shinobi were watching her. It was calculating, as if they were judging whether she was worthy enough to be here or not. Those who weren't were trying there best not to doze off. Watching them try, Sanmita really had a hard time not to giggle. She didn't understand why they look so...bored. Sanmita was very attentive to all the strategies being made for attack, defense, and other fronts for launching a full fledged war on Uchiha Madara.

She, however, had not been able to sense that even the Kage were watching her. She stood out, and without realizing it, changed her facial expression time to time as she listened; it flitted between amused, awed, concerned, but most of time, their was a slight smug look.

The meeting adjourned for a little while, and Zyuudaime motioned Sanmita to follow him. She nodded, and was immediately behind him. Her speed seemed to have shocked a few people, and she blushed. When they were out, Sanmita muttered, "Hokage sama....I thank you....for choosing me to accompany you. Sitting in front of the strongest Shinobi of all times, I felt as if I was living a dream of lifetime."

Hokage smiled. "Sanmita, I chose you because you are capable. There is no need to thank me. Besides, you seem to have captured some...attention. " "You saw that? I knew some of them were watching me. Had I not been concentrating on the strategies, I perhaps would have been hell scared." She blushed, thinking of those prying eyes back in the room....

"You blush a lot, have you realized?" Hokage chuckled, then stopped and stared at Sanmita with awe, "You were listening to the strategies?" "Of course I was...they were interesting. I mean, of course their are small holes here and there, but the overall thing was perfect." The Hokage burst out laughing, "You are so unpredictable. and Bizarre."

Sanmia remarked sarcastically, "Oh, nice..." "Don't misunderstand me sanmita. Meetings, strategic discussions are the sort of things which make even me sleepy. My summon, Rai, is the only reason why I know what I am supposed to do. When I am meetings, I don't listen a thing, but Rai does." A deep chuckle rumbled out of nowhere.

"I see.... I guess my brain will never work right. Phew." Sanmia smiled, and suddenly, a Samurai came upto us with a small scroll. The hokage took it, and carefully read. He then nodded, "I am sorry Sanmita, but I must go. All the Kage have been called up for the condition in our... you know. You may go wherever you want, but stay close. oKay?" Sanmita nodded, and the Hokage hurried away. Sanmita kept wandering, admiring the way the building was constructed. Sahe glanced at the map of the shinobi world, and gasped; every country was made of precious gems. Rubu, emerald, topaz, diamonds....all the colours of the different countries. She kept admiring them, but then, as soon as she heard the voice of some people, she hid herself. They were a few shinobi, and Sanmita recognized them as rock and lightening shinobi. They sat down, laughing and giggling, well at least on girls' part. Suddenly, a dude's eyes fell on the map.

"You know what pissed me most today? The Hokage bringing a genin here. I mean, she is so tiny, and one look and I can tell she is weaker than a bird. He was flaunting that he doesn't need protection." a Lightening shinobi said

"The hokage is much of a looker than you are, and Handsome guys are usually very strong. But still, I don't understand the point of bringing a fresher here." another lightening shinobi...no, Kunoichi sighed.

"I wouldn't be counting on age. Konoha shinobi usually turn out to be strong shinobi regardless the age. Itachi Uchiha was there, and then Kakashi Hatake, and even the hero of previous war, Naruto Uzumaki. I am sure that this girl is not as weak as her physique lets on. I was watching her, and the way she acted at that place made it clear she is a force to be reckoned with." another stone shinobi sighed, and I relaxed. However, the dude from lightening did not understand, "What...?"

"I wouldn't contradict with his views Kyoshiro san, my fellow lightening here is known for his fast paced brains. Moreover, I have received an update on my bingo books, and from what I am seeing here, I can safely say that his opinion of hers was right."

"Bingo books?" the man named Kyoshiro looked puzzled, and Sanmita fought an urge to run away. The lightening girl continued, "See this picture? The girl you think is a fresher is one of the strongest Kunoichi of Konohagakure, despite being a chuunin. Her name is Sanmita Kazuki, commonly known as Saya or Meghna. She was top of her class, an expert strategist, extraordinary weapon specialist, and the fourth strongest medic in Konoha, after Tsunade, Sakura Haruno and Shizune. She has been taught by The Konohamaru Sarutobi and Blade Mistress Tenten, informally of course. That counts to something." She took another deep breadth, "She is daughter of one of the prominent clans ever existed, the Amaya."

"You can't mean, the thunderclouds specialists of Uzu no kuni, right? They were wiped like, during the third shinobi war." The rock Kunoichi inquired, and the lightening one nodded gravely, "I am talking aout the very same one. We didn't know of their existence up until now, because her mother, who was her Amaya parent, didn't join shinobi ranks. But thats not what makes this Sanmita formidable. She has some sort of special ability, some bloodline that has not yet been seen. It apparently comes from the Amaya side of her family, and those are formidable. Oh and before I forget, she is an Uzumaki too." The rock shinobi's mouths were hanging, but the lightening kunoichi was not over, "This was just about her abilities, now her performance. She has been placed here as a B-A class Kunoichi, at this level. She was able to take down an ANBU elite when she was merely a genin. At the same level, she mastered an A class medic ninjutsu with finesse that no one else has been capable of. In her first mission as a chuunin, she was able to take down a strong genin team, and then a full fledged Jonin within a matter of minutes. The jonin was rendered incapable of doing jutsu by her. For her second mission, she had defeated and captured Oto Weapon Ruler Samara. Then, during her last mission, she had been accompanied by an unknown Konoha shinobi, and with him, had been able to wipe out almost all the Oto shinobi, plus capture the reincarnated Snake sannin Orochimaru. Kyoshiro san, she is no weakling. She is strong, stronger than even me or you."

Sanmita was blushing heavily now. Hearing all that about herself, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The bingo books made her look like Superman female version. In her stupor, she loosened her grip on the roof, and fell on her butt right in front of them. The four shinobi looked at her, confused. "Oww....that hurts." Sanmita groaned, then stood up, and looked in the face of four shinobi. "Uhh...I am sorry, I didn't mean to..." She tried to walk, but in her nervousness, caught her feet and fell again. Silence ensued, and Kyoshiro asked, "Are you sure this is the same girl?" While the lightening Kunoichi just shook her head, and walked towards the girl, "Sanmita, right? Are you alright?" she asked, and Sanmita nodded. "I am fine. I am sorry though, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just here and when I heard people coming, I acted on my instinct....and I am sorry." She blushed, and then looked at the four shinobi. They looked about 17 to 23 year old people.

Kyoshiro grinned,"No need to be sorry. We were talking about you anyway, so there is nothing to hide. Though I must say, for the butt-fall performance you gave right now, you don't look like a B class." Sanmita groaned, "I don't know why did they give me that rank. Stupid Ahzer, stupid Orochimaru." she muttered at the end, which made the shinobi grin wider.

"In any case Sanmita, we are sorry for our...rude outlook towards you. Seeing you here, I suppose you are really something different. I think we will go now, have our lunch. You want to join us?" The rock kunoichi asked, and Sanmita smiled, "Yeah, sure."

From above, the five Kage watched Sanmita go. "I told you she was different." hokage looked smug. "She certainly has a unique....charm. I have not seen anyone who causes Kyoshiro to relax so easily." The tsuchikage grumbled.

Mizukage smiled, "Aah I remember, Naruto kun used to have the same air of innocence around him. Its like seeing a little less hyper female version of his. So refreshing."

Kazekage said thoughtfully, "To think this girl is so humble. Most of the shinobi let the fame get to their head at some point. Bu she is absolutely sure that she isn't that strong, yet she believes in herself. Humble but confident at same time, truly remarkable."

The Raikage boomed, "Konoha always gets so lucky, it gave us second child of prophecy. She aint any kind of puny child, calling her strong is putting it mild, oh yeah! oh yeah!"

The other Kage sweat dropped at Raikage's rap. "He certainly is one and only Killer bee-san." The Hokage mumbled, then shaking his head, smiled. "Sanmita, certainly are a gush of wind, a torrent of water. You cannot be stopped, and make way for yourself anywhere, be it people's heart or enemy's downfall.".....

The Hokage then came downstairs to tell Sanmita that it was time for the meeting to start up again. The Kage, Damiyo, and The representatives headed back to the conference room where the meeting was held. Hokage-sama went to the podium and began to speak again. "This meeting is in session." "Id like to discuss and formulate a plan of action when the time comes." "There is a shinobi, that I think needs to be the overseer in this course of action." "She is a talented Medical Ninja, Celestial Edge User, a perfectionist, Strategist, and would make a great head of Konaha's Anbu Black Ops Core." "I Hereby announce that The High General of The Grand Shinobi Alliance is non other that Sanmita Kazuki." Marrik motioned for a confused Sanmita to approach the podium. Sanmita walked nervously toward the podium. "What! I Cant do this? High General? What is Lord Hokage thinking?" Lord Hokage stepped away from Sanmita and said to the people sitting down, "I trust her with this position and that she will not lead us in the right direction. We shall listen to all of her plans and do as she instructs us. If you will to fellow Kage, follow her instructions as will I." Marrik then went back to his seat and let Sanmita begin speaking. "I have a few ideas as to how we could take on Uchiha Madara..." Sanmita then stood up straight, grabbed the microphone and began to share her plans with the crowd....

"Ok...before I begin, I would like to confirm the facts. I have recently come to see that all what we read is not correct," She glanced slightly at the Samurai, ".. and seeing that what I know was a result of what I read in books, I wish to know what happened again, by the sources which are actually reliable."

The Mizukage cleared her throat. "Sure, I was there during first Great Alliance, so I will recount everything." She started describing about the Akatsuki, and later all the other Kage, and some older shinobi joined in. Sanmita listened to every detail, her mind running with the speed that put Cheetah to shame.

When finished, they looked at Sanmita, only to find her making some kind of drawing on the floor, her eyes closed. She was deep in thought, then suddenly, she gasped. "Oh...." then looked up. "Ah, I am sorry. I was trying to build the scenario, and linking them with all that happened in Konoha. I can tell you this, the one that attacked our village was an Edo tensei. He was not madara, but someone he had revived."

That caused an uproar, and Hokage stood, "What is the meaning of this Sanmita? I can tell when I sense Madara's chakra..." Then it hit him, "He revived someone, using his own chakra?"

"Yes. That's what I said. Perhaps Edo-tensei is not the correct word. He uses a similar technique to yours, Hokage sama. But instead of restoring the person with the deceased's chakra, he uses his own, so he has definitive control over them. Thats what I think though."

"And how did you..get to this conclusion?" Tsuchikage asked again. Sanmita shrugged, "He is schizophrenic. His dual personality can be classified as his Tobi personality and his Madara persona. For someone as experienced as him, he should know better than to provoke a Hokage at his home turf, or even mocking him." She shot a meaningful glance at Hokage, and he immediately understood. "Why didn't I see this before. Mocking and taunting isn't Madara's style at all. He prefers to hide and attack." Zyuudaime thought.

Sanmita continued, "I believe that the attack on Konoha was a way to cripple the Hokage's spirits. By sending a decoy, he made sure that his aim is accomplished without much of a hassle. The decoy escaped however, because Hokage sama was trying to make sure I was not involved in crossfire. Correct?" Sanmita smiled, and Hokage nodded sheepishly. "I am inclined to believe that he is using the previously extracted bijuu chakra to create enough bodies to launch such attacks on all villages. However, he singled out Konoha to throw us off track."

All the shinobi watched her, astonished. A thirteen year old was able to deduce this all in matter of minutes? Sanmita however ignored the stares. "Our previous strategies don't have any fault, except one. We are trying to divide our forces. Since the last war, our shinobi number have considerably dwindled. We only have quality now, not quantity. I have a fairly good idea where Madara's zombies might be headed, and well, I have to head there as well."

"What do you mean?" one of the shinobi asked, and she replied, "I think he will be headed to old whirlpool." The room was quiet, then Kazekage asked, "What makes you say that?" Sanmita coolly replied, "Kazekage sama, Madara requires a scroll, and the eight tails and nine tails. The jinchuuriki of this are in grave danger. Raikage sama...I think you can take care of yourself. But the seventh is currently in whirlpool country. I am certain that he will attack, and Rokudaime sama won't be able to defend himself."

"We didn't think of that. We need to warn Naruto-kun." Mizukage mumbled, and everyone agreed. Sanmita kept saying, "Our first aim now is to gather as many supplies as possible, and Hokage sama, no more reanimations now. We need your life force intact. Raikage sama, I would like if you stop making rap out of my current situation as a spokesperson." "But you're shining like a star, not makin rap is takin too far."

"You didn't make any sense. Now I think...." Sanmita kept speaking, and Mizukage leaned over to the Hokage, "Marrik-kun, I will say this again, Sanmita IS a female version of Naruto kun. Look at her....she has the same easy going yet serior aura." Hokage in return, smiled, "She is stubborn like him too, and no nonsense and naive. But she is dependable, which convinced me that she is the last child of prophecy even more."

"Hokage sama, Mizukage sama...please would you stop whispering and pay attention?" Sanmita said loudly, and some people snickered. Mizukage said, "Yes" and giggled. Hokage just sighed, "I had forgotten that Naruto san was also very troublesome sometimes.".....

"Sanmita, if I may," Hokage cleared his throat and asked a question of remembrance. "When the supposed clone of Uchiha Madara entered the village and attacked, Do you remember that there were two people there?" "One was Madara and the other jumped off the village gate and descended toward the ground." "Yes, I remember." Hokage then stood and took off his hat walking toward Sanmita, "I sensed a portion of his chakra before he fled." "I know now what his plan really was." "But i pray that I am not too late to stop this plot." "Madara and I were fighting atop a building west of the village." "The figure with Madara leaped off of the South Gate and headed North.." "North of the South Gate are the Anbu Core Complex, the Intel Division Complex, and Hokage Mansion." "I said to you sometime ago that Madara was after the forbidden scroll of The First Hokage." "I Told you that the scroll was behind the Stone face wall in a secret cave." "The clone of Madara was just a decoy, the real threat was whoever that figure was that dashed off in the other direction." "We may as well assume that Madara has the Scroll of The First Hokage." "The scroll has to be used at the highest point in all of The Great Nations." Raikage then interrupted Marrik and said "I believe Hokage, that the highest point in The Great Nations would be Raven's Spire in the Land of Lightning." Marrik then continued and said "Yes, You are correct Raikage." Raikage and Hokage then walked from Sanmita and the podium to where the twelve samurai guardians were standing. "I said I felt that figure's chakra before he vanished from my sight." "Lightning Damiyo, if you will please command these samurai to take out their swords." The Lightning Damiyo raised up and said "But.., But, Lord Hokage, Where are you getting at? This has nothing to do with the current situation." "Please Lightning Damiyo, just do it." The Lighting Damiyo then stood and cleared his throat "Stand Tall! Left Hand On! Pull Forth! Draw Back!" The samurai then pulled out their weapons and Marrik went by each samurai and looked at their weapons handle. Hokage then stopped at the second to last one. Marrik then rapidly made hand symbols and said "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" He aimed his hand at the samurai. Then a sphere of water surrounded him and Marrik closed it." "What are you doing Lord Hokage! Are You Insane!" "Stand Back Fellow Kage and Damiyo!" "Remove you helmet now!" The samurai followed Hokage's orders and took off his helmet. He revealed Dark, black, hair and pitch black eyes, with a face that held no emotion. "It took you a long time old man." "Ill admit, It took me a moment, but I suspected as much." "I felt your same chakra in the village. You took the scroll. I felt the same chakra again when I entered this room after the short intermission. Before the intermission you hid your chakra. it was hard to tell if it was the exact same chakra because each samurai has lightning release chakra." "So then I decided to see your swords, and then I found you... Sasuke Uchiha." "You hid yourself well, I commend you, But nobody enters my village and makes a fool of me more than once." "Ive got two questions for you, First Where is the real Madara Uchiha?" "Im not telling you anything Storm Sage." "So be it." Marrik gathered lightning release chakra in his hand and placed both hands on the water prison surrounding Sasuke. Sasuke began to scream out loud and shake back and forth. "Where is Madara Uchiha!" "Sasuke then begun to bleed and he said "OK, Madara is at Raven's Spire." "What is he doing at the spire?" Sasuke hesitated, and Marrik put more lightning release chakra into the prison causing Sasuke to slip in and out of consciousness. "What is he doing there!!" "Hes, Hes... reanimating the tailed beast using the scroll." Hokage then looked Sasuke in the eyes. "He is not alone, Who is with him!" "Pein and Itachi are with him. He reanimated over ten shinobi and placed them separately in each village." "Once he reanimates the tailed beast, he is going to signal each shinobi in each village to summon the tailed beast and it will reign terror inside the village." "Both of you knew the villages would be weakened, because both of you knew that the meeting would be held today!" "Both of you knew that if you reanimate the tailed beast at the highest point, that you could send them to different positions and have somebody else summon them. Didn't you!" "Who did he reanimate? Who did Madara bring back to life!" "Pein, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Zabuza, Haku, Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Third Kazekage." Marrik released the water prison and said "Byakugan!" "Eight Trigrams: Sixty Four Palms!" Marrik then began shutting down all of Sasuke's chakra nodes. "You wont be able to gather chakra for a while let alone cast jutsu." Sanmita ordered the rest of the representatives to watch after Sasuke. Hokage then walked to the podium where Sanmita stood. "I want task forces to be made now, on the spot. Send a squad of us to each village to stop whatever reanimated person is there from summoning those tailed beast! Then I want a task force to go to Raven's Spire and try to stop Madara from reanimating the tailed beast." At once, The Five Kage rose and escorted the Damiyo to a safehouse near the Summit. Kazekage then spoke to the Damiyo, "You are to remain here, do not leave for anything." Kazekage then shut the door and headed off with the rest of the Kage. Marrik then stopped and formed a circle with the Kage and Sanmita. "There are six of us, not enough to stop all of the reanimated shinobi to prevent the summoning." "Each of us will return to our respective villages and gather our shinobi, then go up against whatever reanimated shinobi are in your village. There should be two reanimated shinobi in each village, try to defeat both of them. Once you and your shinobi defeat the reanimated shinobi in your village, travel to another with three of your finest ninja and backup another village. All The Kages nodded and headed off in separate directions. "Hurry Sanmita! We must get back to The Leaf a.s.a.p!" Marrik and Sanmita dashed toward The Leaf as fast as possible...

Sanmita and the Hokage didn't delay their departure. As soon as they had some food, they took off to their village. Sasuke Uchiha's words were ringing in Sanmita's head He...He is... reanimating the tailed beast using the scroll. Once he reanimates the tailed beast, he is going to signal each shinobi in each village to summon the tailed beast and it will reign terror inside the village. She went through the whole conversation again, "Wait a secong, Hokage sama, Sasuke said Madara has also revoked Orochimaru, but Orochimaru is alive, isn't he?"

Hokage shook his head, "Orochimaru is dead, technically. The Orochimaru you have seen is Kabuto Yakushi consumed by the snake's cells. But he isn't a problem, the problem would be Itachi dono, Jiraiya san and Godaime sama. Haku...I don't have much info on him...except......Oh shit why didn't I see this earlier?"

"See what?" Sanmita asked, and Hokage replied, "Almost all of the revived, at some point, had been close to our Konoha people, especially Naruto san. Nagato, Zabuza, Haku, Jiraiya sama, Godaime sama, and even Sasori of red sands were strangely bonded with the last generation. Kakuzu san is nearly unbeatable, even my sensei had trouble fighting him. And if my guess id good, Madara will do his best to send the village's weakest link, so we are reluctant to fight."

"That would be the other two sannin, Jiraiya sama and Godaime sama. To think I might have to fight my favorite writer...." Sanmit mumbled. They didn't try to talk, until they reached Konoha. To their great relief, nothing had happened yet. The Hokage turned to Sanmita, "Rest for today, I will be heading to my office, and immediately raise the security. And yes, Sanmita, do your best and retrieve the celestial secrets hidden in the cave told to you by your ancestors. We will start your training with the best shinobi here, ASAP."

Sanmita nodded, but then deliberated, "Hokage sama, I would also appreciate if you could let Shizune sensei train me as well." Hokage thought for a little, then smile, "Fine. You are blossoming into quite a medic as well. It will be a shame if we don't let you train. Sanmita, remember, the road ahead you is now difficult, and we will train you the best we can. The training will be tougher than you think, believe me when I say that you might not be able to stand up even a little. I think, I will take Konohamaru san's advice, and maybe let you train with...well a really remarkable person. I will go now, Ja ne!"

Sanmita headed to her home, her head dizzy. She knew all too well who the 'remarkable' person Hokage was talking about. She decided she will go and search for the cave where her clan secrets were, and retrieve them before it was too late. She was too excited to feel tired, and knew she didn't need to go home, but get those long lost Jutsu.

Meanwhile, The zyuudaime ran to his office, and just as he opened the door, he sensed someone standing in the room. The said intruder was wearing a traveling cloak, and its hood rested on his head, hiding the man's face. He was standing in front of the former Hokage portraits, and softly said, "Kakashi sensei, Ojii chan. I am back." The current hokage paused, and then growled, "Who are you? What are you doing in my office?"

The man turned, his face was veiled, but his eyes, the startling cerulean orbs whose depth put sea to shame, bored into Hokage's. "You are that Hyuuga-teme's minion, correct? And you are the Hokage now? Wow...I really miss that fire shadow hat."

"Wait a second....you can't be....." Hokage stuttered, when suddenly the door opened again, revealing a really red Konohamaru Sarutobi. He saw the man in cloak with wide eyes, than came running again, "Nii san!!!!" and immediately tackled into him, causing the man's veil to fall down. Hokage stood, transfixed, and completed his incomplete sentence, "Uzumaki Naruto..."

After a lot of screaming, kicking, and bonking heads on Naruto's part, both men sat in front of the Hokage, with Naruto glaring daggers at Konohamaru, and Konohamaru blushing. "Konohamaru, you ruined my dramatic introduction you know. I was planning to make my entry more dramatic and mysterious, fitting to the title of seventh Hokage. I was going to show this Neji's and Kakashi sensei's minion an entry of a Hokage. But noooo...you had to come butting in with that Asuma-sensei body but chicken pie brain of yours and tackle me straight to the ground. You have not grown at all!" Marrik sweatdropped at Naruto's comment, " Minion? WAIT A SEC....he is referring to me as the sensei's minion. Is that what he calls his students? Man, I got lucky....no wait, even Kakashi sensei used to refer Naruto san as his minion. What is with these.......urghh."

"Bu..but Naruto nii, I said I was sorry right? When you came back home last time, Haruno san all but beat you into bludgeons. You didn't say anything to that pinky. Why do you keep on making me feel miserable when I just hug you."

Naruto blushed, "That was Sakura chan. She was my team mate, remember? And she had a huge temper anyway, like mini Tsunade Oba-chan."

"Umm...Sarutobi san, Naruto-san, I am sorry to interrupt...." "IF YOU ARE SORRY, THAN SHUT UP!!!" both Konohamaru and Naruto bellowed, and then looked at each other, after a moment of silence, they both started laughing. "Hahaha...sorry, Marrik. I completely forgot...Hahaha."

The Hokage decided to let them get a grip on themselves, and did not say anything. When the other two shinobi had stopped cackling madly, The zyuudaime cleared his throat, "Ahem..Naruto san, kindly tell us what are you doing here. Aren't you supposed to be in whirlpool?" Naruto looked at him, "Yeah, I was. But, I felt things stirring. A few days before, I felt a tug, and unpleasant feeling which I usually got when Akatsuki was near. After I merged with Kyuubi, my self preservation senses became much acute. Then I heard of the appearance of some shinobi in Konoha, and the city's destruction. I came to check, and saw that it was true. The people also said that the Hokage was gravely injured, but you seem...fine."


"Yeah, I was injured. But thankfully, a kunoichi who specializes in medic ninjutsu was with me, and she saved me." Naruto raised an eyebrow,"A medic kunoichi saved your life? Who was she? Shizune nii, Ino or Sakura chan?"

"Shizune san has duties as lead medic, and was at a rescue mission that time. Ino san has taken up interrogation, so doesn't come out very much. Haruno san left the village. Your team is so much similar two Sannin's. She wanted to travel like her sensei, so after you were gone, she left too." "See Konohamaru, she is a mini Tsunade obaa-san. I bet we need another Naruto to get her butt here. By the way, who saved your life if it wasn't either of them?"

"A kunoichi named Sanmita Kazuki." "A kazuki? Tenten's relative?" naruto asked, and Hokage nodded, "Yes, and also, Konohamaru-san's pupil."

"Konohamaru, you got yourself a minion? I am so proud of you!" Naruto had an expression of awe, and Konohamaru beamed, "Cool right?" "Mmm-hmm. Sanmita....that rings a bell....hey wait...isn't she the B-A class kunoichi in Bingo books? The one that is said to give shikamaru's family a run for their money as far as brains are concerned?"

"Yes, thats the one. And I think I need to tell you something else...She is your successor for title of next child of prophecy?" Naruto's eyes bulged, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? ANOTHER CHILD OF PROPHECY?? WHICH MEANS...WHICH MEANS...MADARA REALLY IS BACK...??"

"Shhhh Naruto san...not so loud." Hokage and Konohamaru tried to calm Naruto, and the Hokage dismissed some ANBU who had rushed in after hearing Naruto's outburst. When Naruto calmed down, he closed his eyes, and leaned back, "It seems you have a lot to tell me, Marrik. I know it might seem imposing to you, but you need to tell me everything. What is going on here? And who is this girl, Sanmita, right?" Marrik nodded, and with a sigh, began the whole story..........

"Naruto-sama.." "Wait ! If Your here, how can he summon the beast !" "That means ive been deceived again..." Marrik slumped back in his chair. "Im failing as a Hokage.. Im failing to protect my village..." Naruto raised out of his chair and walked over to Lord Hokage's chair. "No your not, Everybody makes mistakes." "I haven't made a mistake, I put this village in grave danger because Ive made foolish mistakes back to back." "Sasuke lied to me..." "Thats not Madara's plan." Naruto left the chair and stood and looked out the window. "Sasuke..." "I wasn't able to save Sasuke, Marrik." Then, Renshi appeared inside the Hokage's office. "Lord Hokage !! Lord Hokage !!" Marrik raised out of his seat on edge and said "Renshi ! Whats going on?" Renshi then went through a stack of papers and handed them to Marrik. "The Raikage was abducted on his way back to The Land of Lightning." "Madara has him hostage." "Madara has said that the only way he will release Madara is if.. You, Lord Hokage and Sanmita journey to Raven's Spire alone." Hokage looked at the ground and begun to shed tears. "DAMN !!" Hokage looked at Renshi and screamed at him. "GET OUT OF MY OFFICE !! NOW !!" Renshi walked out of Lord Hokage's office and ran down the hallway back to The Anbu Division. "EVERYBODY OUT !! NOW !!!!!" "Marrik calm down.." Naruto came behind Marrik and patted him on the back. Surprisingly, Marrik turned around and swung at Naruto's face and hit him in the jaw. "GET OUT !!!" Naruto didnt seem upset, instead he opened the window, looked at Marrik, and then jumped out. Then, a white haired lady with curves and a body that could put any female ninja to shame entered Marrik's office. "Marrik, whats all the noise?" "Are you OK baby?" Marrik rested his hands across his eyebrows, stretching them in the process. "Im fine, im frustrated." The lady then shut the door and came around the desk and sat in Marrik's lap. "I can see that.." "What happened, I haven't seen you this angry since..." Marrik then turned away from the lady. "Ive been deceived twice! Because of me, The Raikage is in danger! Madara is on the loose! And to top it all off, If Sanmita and I cant kill Madara, Naruto probably wont help us because of what just happened." "I FAIL AS A HOKAGE! IM NOT FIT TO PROTECT THIS VILLAGE!" "Baby, things will get better. They always do. And you dont fail as a Hokage, if you weren't right for the job, you wouldn't have been picked." "Your talents as a shinobi exceed most ninja that will come in generations to come." "How many people do you know that have two total elements completely mastered?" The lady adjusted herself in Marrik's lap. "Everybody is counting on you not to loose faith in yourself and your abilities. If the village's leader looses faith, just think of what the village itself will do." "Your more than fit to lead this village baby." "Just like Kakashi and all the rest of us, I believe in you." "You saved me remember? When I got attacked by those ninja when we were chuunin." "You rushed in and saved me." "I remember seeing your beautiful silver hair flowing in the wind. The sound of your voice as you pummeled those who tried to harm me." "Then, how you just walked off and didnt let me thank you." Marrik looked down and then said "Its because, I didnt think it was that big of a deal." "It was a duty, You were in trouble, so I decided to help." The lady then chuckled and looked in Marrik's eyes. "It was a big deal to me. You were so hard on yourself Marrik. You never thought you deserved anyone. You always trained harder. I remember one time, you trained so hard you couldnt move for weeks.." "You were so ignorant back then, You couldnt see that everybody cared for you.. All the males envied you. All the females wanted you." "I know these thing, because.. I was one of those females." "After you saved me, you didnt expect me to kiss you did you?" Marrik then said "No, I didnt." "Well, Its up to you Marrik." "Thats why I married you, Because you can protect me, you came to my rescue." "You treated people with respect, you put everybody before yourself." "You cared for this village more than anyone." "That and, you are just so cute." "Look at you, Your long silver hair comes all the way to your back now." "Then you have a little spiked goatee on your chin." "Your face is just so smooth and flawless." "And your body..." The lady put her hand on Marrik's chest... "OK! I get it..." The lady then got up off of Marrik's lap and walked towards the door. "You know what you have to do." The lady then opened the door and prepared to leave. "Kalina, Thank you, for everything, for having unmovable faith in me. As your Hokage, and as your husband.." Kalina smiled and then said "What kind of Wife would I be if I wasn't able to comfort my own husband when he needs it?" Kalina winked at Marrik and then walked out the door. "Aha, Baby... Thank you." Marrik then stood up and summoned Renshi. "Yes Lord Hokage?" "Renshi listen.." Renshi then interrupted and said "Save it Lord Hokage, I already know, you dont have to tell me your sorry." Renshi smiled and walked to Lord Hokage and gave him a manly hug. "Your under stress, It was likely for that to happen, I understand." "Thank you Renshi." "If you will please, summon Sanmita to my office." "Its about time we go looking for The Raikage." Renshi then nodded and said "At once, Lord Hokage." Renshi left the room and there was a peaceful silence among Marrik. The Storm Sage rubbed his goatee and struck his hand through his long hair. "This is just the beginning..."

While the Hokage was talking to Naruto, Sanmita was hitting a Jackpot. She had found the cave that was mentioned by the five ancestors fairly easily. The cavern had an image of an urn, with a woman sitting inside. "Hope...." Sanmita muttered, and went inside. The cave was huge, shining the very same way as the ancestors' cave. However, at a wall, there were small words inscribed, and Sanmita out of curiosity, tried to read them.

'Three shall born, at mark of raze.
One to destroy, and obstruct peace's pace
Defying the rules, of death and humanity
Reviving the orb which giveth night clarity.
The other two will rise, to end his days
A Kitsune and a Sparrow's gaze

The former shall mark the end of carnage
And latter shall finish it in starry rage.
The blade of wind shall pierce his skin
And that of water will end his kin
The peace shall rise and earn supremacy
And bringth fulfillment to this prophecy.

"You gotta be kidding. That's the Prophecy!! And such a poetry..crude but accurate. Wow!!! I wonder what Starry rage means though “Sanmita was completely mesmerized. But then she remembered why she was there. She got up, and went at further inside the cave. Then she saw a small block carved in a wall. She went there and read the inscription

'Thou who seek the spirit of the skies,
Remember the song Luna sings up high."

Sanmita thought out, "Luna is moon. Moon sings a song? Wait...a ballad!! Celestial release: moonlight ballad" She used the Jutsu on the block, and the block split open, revealing a single scroll inside. "What? A scroll?" She took it out, and opened it. There was a big circle, with kanji for release inscribed. On the side in small letters, was written, "To seal the contents, smear a little blood on the inscription, put the things back, and say'seal'." She muttered, "Kai", and suddenly a lot of smoke came up. When it cleared, a whole assortment of scrolls, parchments and books lied. "Wow....now thats called a bloodline library!" She immediately sealed hem back. "Got to show these to Konohamaru sensei!" She sealed them, and started coming out of the cave. Before that, however she went to see the prophecy again. She re-read the inscription, but this time noticed the smudgy letters right beneath them. She cleaned it, and this time read a new set of lines.

“One born at zenith of seventh, beware
A loss of past may bring despair
Then steal the boon spirits bestow
And the sword then shall kill the doe.”

Sanmita’s eyes were wide. “What the heck does this mean?” Then she remembered that prophecy are not always straightforward. “Guess only time will tell....” she sighed.

She made her way to Hokage tower, knowing that he was the interim Hokage so might be there. As soon as he reached the office however, she saw Konohamaru running along with another man. The other man had bright hair, tanned face and blue eyes. She had a feeling she had seen him somewhere, but couldn't put her finger on it. "He sure is a moody one. Man...I haven't been kicked out ever, except by Tsunade-baachan.", the unknown person said, and Konohamaru nodded, "He has been severely stressed out. Your return hasn't helped much, nii-chan." Konohamaru replied, and suddenly saw at Sanmita. "Sparrow, look...."Konohamaru tried to say, but Sanmita cut in, "You are....Naruto san?" The other man nodded, "Yeah, and who are you?"

The wheels in sanmita's head were moving fast, and she looked at Konohamaru fearfully, and spoke in a seething voice that contrasted her expression, "That damn Uchiha lied! I must talk to the Hokage. Nice meeting you Seventh sama", and broke into sprint. Konohamaru tried to yell, "Sanmita, he already......", but Sanmita was already out of range, and the Sarutobi muttered, "Damn." Naruto looked at her, "She is Sanmita? Your minion?" Konohamaru nodded, and the blond whistled, "A feisty girl. She seems familiar somehow, with that 'have to do it ASAP' attitude." he mused, and Konohamaru snickered.

Meanwhile, Sanmita was running at her top speed, and just as she reached the office, she heard a woman's voice from inside. "...were so ignorant back then, You couldnt see that everybody cared for you.. All the males envied you. All the females wanted you. I know these things, because.. I was one of those females. After you saved me, you didn't expect me to kiss you did you?" the Hokage replied, "No, I didn't." The woman continued with a hint of mischief, "Well, Its up to you Marrik. Thats why I married you, because you can protect me, you came to my rescue. You treated people with respect, you put everybody before yourself. You cared for this village more than anyone. That and, you are just so cute. Look at you, Your long silver hair comes all the way to your back now. Then you have a little spiked goatee on your chin. Your face is just so smooth and flawless. And your body..."

Sanmita was blushing by this time, and it seemed the Hokage had been quite embarrassed at his expense, "OK! I get it..." he said exasperatedly. There were footsteps, and a click of door. The woman continued, "You know what you have to do."She came out of the door, and and prepared to leave. when Hokage called out, "Kalina, Thank you, for everything, for having unmovable faith in me. As your Hokage, and as your husband.." Kalina smiled and then said "What kind of Wife would I be if I wasn't able to comfort my own husband when he needs it?", she winked, and came out, only to see a heavily blushing Sanmita standing in the hallway. The woman came upto her, and Sanmita couldn't help but think that she was a true beauty incarnate, with her flowing white hair and beautiful body. She looked at Sanmita with a hint of irritation, "Another one ehh?". Sanmita looked at her, "I am so sorry...I am so sorry. I didn't mean...uhh..." Sanmita stuttered, and Kalina spoke again, "Sorry for what? Being another Hormone crazed peeping fangirl?"

Sanmita looked at her, "What??" then it dawned on her..."Oh...no no Hokage’s wife sama! I am not a fanfgirl...I am sorry because you and Hokage sama were having a private moment, but, but..Oh I am sorry I overheard you! I didn’t mean to. I was supposed to show him something important...” Sanmita spoke in a hurry, and Kalina’s gaze softened, “You are not a fangirl? Or you like someone else? It’s rare that a girl of your age doesn’t have a fanatic edge for a guy...”

“Oh no....Hokage’s wife sama. I am too young to indulge in romantic thoughts. I do like reading romance novels, but that’s that. I have no interest whatsoever in dating, or even fantasizing about it. I think I need to be at least 20 years old to start thinking that way. Moreover, I can’t stand fangirls, let alone be one of them....”

Kalina laughed quietly, “I believe in you. I am sorry I considered you a fangirl...” she continued, when suddenly Renshi appeared, “Sanmita, what are you doing here?” Sanmita gawked at him,”Renshi san, I....” But Renshi didn’t let her continue, “Whatever, Its good you are here. Hokage sama has called for you. Aah Kalina sama, my apologies for not regarding you earlier. I was in a hurry.” He bowed in front of the white haired woman, and she smiled, “No prob Renshi. I was going anyway. This Madara attack has been quite a headache n the village’s expense, but mostly on Marrik’s self-esteem.” She watched a sudden look of emergency dawn on Sanmita’s face. Sanmita tugged on Renshi’s shirt, “Renshi san, Hokage sama called me right, lets go lets go. Umm, good day Hokage’s wife sama.” She bowed, and Renshi started taking her to Hokage’s office. However he saw Kalina’ confused face, and in response to that, pointed lightly at the girl and mouthed, “Child of prophecy”, before getting in the office. Kalina’ eyes widened, but then she chuckled, “She was not a fangirl after all....” and then walked away.

Meanwhile Sanmita was all nervous. As soon as she entered Hokage’s office, the said man looked up at her, “Sanmita...” But in her nervousness, Sanmita didn’t let him continue, “Hokage sama...Uchiha lied to us...Naruto san is here in the village...” Hokage flinched, then continued slowly, “I know, and that’s not the end. Raikage sama has been abducted.”

“What?! They have Raikage sama....that means eight tails too!! This is getting disastrous.” Sanmita said, and Hokage nodded. Turning to Renshi, he aid, “Renshi, please go and call Naruto-san, Konohamaru-san, Shikamaru-san, Shizune-san. And if Naruto san has brought Hinata nii too, then ask him to call her as well. Got it?” Renshi nodded, and immediately went off with a poof of smoke. Sanmita was madly babbling to herself, wildly pacing. Then suddenly, she seemed to remember something, “Hokage sama, I found the celestial releases complete Jutsu.” She took out the scroll from the cave, and then showed it to the Hokage. “Hokage sama, I also read the prophecy, fully. It mentions that I am the child of prophecy. But, the complete form is a riddle. I can’t guess it at all.” The Hokage frowned, what do you mean?” and Sanmita recounted the whole prophecy to him, and he frowned. “I guess we both have a lot to talk about. Sit Sanmita, we have a lot to discuss....”

"Sanmita, now I dont have much time, but----" Then a little girl opened the door and stood at the entrance. "Who are you.?" Hokage looked at the little girl and asked her a question. "I was on my way to the village gate when I dropped a paper, so I went back and picked it up, and as soon as I did.." The little girl started to sob tears and began to cry. "A whole bunch of ninja came in the village, They just rushed through the gates! They ran over my paper and tore it to shreds.. Then they started hitting the people that were walking, and then these two men with red eyes came in behind all of those ninja and started destroying stuff." The little girl ran to Sanmita and Sanmita hugged her and picked her up. Marrik ran to the window and looked out of it. "Oh My God..." The blinds then fell off the window, and when they did all you saw in the view was buildings falling and people running amok. Sanmita then spoke to the little girl in her arms "Its going to be OK, we are going to help you." Marrik then turned around to the door and Kalina had just ran inside the room. "Marrik ! Somethings going on outside! People are screaming and buildings are going up in flames. Please do something Marrik. There are innocent people out there..." Kalina ran and grabbed Hokage and started to cry. "Marrik there are kids out there... Please you cant let them die!" Hokage told her to calm down and listen closely "Take Sanmita and the little girl away from the village. Go to the Valley of Death, Go to the First Hokage's Statue and climb to the back of his head. Once there crawl under the little space and then walk all the way down stairs. Stay there, and while you are at it, train with Sanmita." "Sanmita, your mind and your body need to be perfectly intact to use these new jutsus you've learned. Kalina is going to help you with that." "We are going to fight off whoever is doing this until you return, When you return, you will fight against the enemy with Renshi as backup." Kalina kissed Marrik on the cheek and told Sanmita to step outside. Sanmita then stood outside with the little girl waiting for Kalina. "Marrik---" Marrik then said "Im going to do my best to hold them off with the rest of the Anbu, you focus on training her and perfecting her jutsus. Then once shes mastered them, bring her back and both of you find me." Kalina then hugged Lord Hokage and proceeded to exit the room, then she turned back. "You better not die on me Marrik Hyuuga." Kalina then grabbed Hokage's crotch on the sly and ran out of the room with Sanmita waiting for her outside. Marrik followed behind them but, he went towards the rooftop exit, where he found Renshi, Ino, and Naruto standing and looking out upon the destruction. Marrik rushed to the three shinobi and said "How bad is it and whats the situation.?" Renshi then looked at Lord Hokage and said "I estimate about 5,000 rouge ninja between the ranks of D and B. Then two Kage level shinobi." "I want you to gather every single last Anbu member and head out and start killing off those 5,000." "Ino, do we have any information on whose leading this attack and their objectives or motives?" Ino replied "None sir, the Intel Division is coordinating a escape route for the civilians." "Good, once you get that route, move all children, babies, and civilians out of this village." Both Renshi and Ino nodded and jumped off the rooftop and headed out. A light pink headed shinobi with nice curves and a baby face then walked swiftly towards Marrik. "Its about time---- Sakura Haruno..." Marrik then hugged Sakura and she then went and gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek. "This is my village, I abandoned it long ago, but its in trouble now, and I thought I could lend a hand." Marrik then smiled and said "Perfect." "You and Naruto are to work together." "I want Sakura to being healing every dead shinobi or civilian in this village on a wide scale. Naruto, you will supply her with as much chakra as she requires." "Yes Lord Hokage" "Right on it." Hokage then proceeded to leave the rooftop. Lord Hokage then ran down the stairs and headed to the exit of the Mansion, when a rough shinobi with a Grass Village headband entered the door and walked hastily down the hallway. "What are you looking for?"" The man then pushed Marrik on the ground and sped down the rest of the hall. "I gave him a chance." Marrik then stood up and brushed off his Flak Jacket and vanished in an instant. Marrik then appeared behind the Grass Shinobi and pulled out a kunai. ------- The Grass Shinobi then fell to the ground and a dark pool of blood then formed under his corpse. "Do not interfere..." Marrik then threw the kunai with his blood on it on top of the corpse of the dead ninja. Marrik then ran back down the hallway, and finally outside of the Mansion. When Marrik reached the outside, he looked as tons of bodies laid on the ground in front of him and millions of Grass Shinobi headed toward him at light-speed. Marrik then gently tugged at his goatee and smiled, "This shall prove interesting..." Marrik; all alone; ran toward the huge group of Grass Ninja headed toward him....

Kalina meanwhile, was running along with Sanmita. Together they killed any one who came in their way in the blink of an eye. "Sanmita, go and fetch whatever you will need, weapons, scrolls, everything, and meet me at the gate. You have 20 minutes to do this. Hurry!", The white haired woman spoke with a little urgency, and Sanmita ran towards her house. On her way, she came across a woman with white eyes and veins popping. She was gracefully defending a downed shinobi, and healing him simultaneously. However, suddenly a Grass shinobi hurled a Kunai right behind her neck, aimed for her blind spot. Sanmita hurriedly threw her sword, and with a clang, both the sword and the Kunai fell. She hurried to the byakugan user, and picked her sword. "You...saved my life?" the soft voice asked from behind, and Sanmita whirled to look at the gentlest face she had ever seen. The woman continued, "Thank you. Can you do me another favor? I need to find a certain Sanmita Kazuki. You seem her age group, do you know her? I have no idea how she looks, and searching for her seems like searching needle in a haystack, even with my byakugan." Sanmita came out of her daze, took out her shinobi card, and replied, "Umm, I am Sanmita Kazuki. Who are you? why are you searching for me?"

The woman smiled, and suddenly, ducked taking Sanmita's head as well. A set of senbon flew by. She replied, unfaed, "I was asked by Naruto kun to bring the Amaya scrolls with me, before this mess began. I have lost him. He was saying that it is supposed to be given to a girl named Sanmita Kazuki, which is you. Here," the Hyuuga handed a scroll to Sanmita, "Naruto kun had come across a lot during his trip in Whirlpool. Konohamaru chan had asked us to search the Amaya clan documents, and gave us the location. We were able to retrieve hopefully all of your clan documents. Aah and as for my introduction, I am Hinata Uzumaki Namikaze, your seventh Hokage's wife."

Sanmita, after receiving the documents, surprisingly, just nodded. "I see. Thank you Hinata sama." she smiled, and then continued, "I need to gather some things. Hokage sama has given me a job I mustn't fail. Thank you for these, again. Oh before we part, I must say that Naruto sama has a very beautiful wife." Sanmita grinned, and then ran at full speed.

At her home, she opened a large storage scroll. In that, she put all her weapon scrolls, open weapons, her flak jackets and other training clothes. She packed her elemental swords, Kunai, chakra metal trench knives, and other weapons. She went to her clan training room, and took a pair of training clothes, which had weight seals on them. She also took her cousin's scrolls for Twin rising dragon. She went in the restricted section of the library, raiding the scrolls on elemental Jutsu. She wrote down a small note and put it in clan head's room. She wrote similar note in Tenten's room as well.

She ran out, and reached the Konoha gates 2 minutes prior the allotted time. The main fight was concentrated in the heart of the city, so she didn't face much opposition. Kalina was waiting for her, and she nodded at Sanmita. They started running towards the Valley of death, and away from Konoha's gates. Before the gate completely vanished, Kalina turned around, and murmured softly, "Don't die on me Marrik. Remain safe, the Village needs you, I need you."

No one spoke a word along the way. By the time the moon started shining, they had reached the Valley of death. "Sanmita, go up that statue, "Kalina pointed at the Large bust standing at their side of the river, "and go right behind his head. Probe, till you find a small Konoha insignia etched on the stone. Put chakra in i, and a door will open. I will meanwhile check if no one is here." Sanmita nodded and went behind the head. She searched, and beneath his hairline, found a leaf insignia. She lightle put some chakra in it, and the head shuddered. As the door opened, Kalina came right beside her and muttered, "Safe." Both of hem entered a small room with a spiral staircase in middle. They went down the endless flight of the staircase, till they reached another door. They entered it, and were welcomed by an amazing sight. They were in a large room, covered with seals. The whole rom seemed tto be shimmering green in colour, and Sanmita realized that it was the exact color of room, the roof made bed for the river above. "Wow.." Sanmita breathed, and Kalina chuckled, "Wow doesn't describe it my dear. This room is not special just by looks. This training room is time-manipulator. The purpose of training here is to make sure you learn as much as possible in little time. The seals here manipulate time in this room in such a way that a day outside is equal to an year in this room."

"You are kidding!!" Sanmita exclaimed, and Kalina chuckled. "I am not...This room is special. Morover, your weapons, your dresses will not depreciate here. The effect on them would be as much as it will be in outside world. This room is the only one present in this world, and it was only during the time of Eighth Hokage that it was found. Its location however was kept secret, except from a handful. Why do you think Marrik became the second Youngest Hokage after Naruto san?"

"I see...." Sanmita sighed, and Kalina continued, "I am water and wind type as well. Marrik knew he needed the people who were intended to train you. I am weaker physically, but my knowledge on the elements is vast. Also, I specialize at elemental manipulation. I will be teaching you to create something similar to Naruto-sama's Rasen shuuriken. But I must warn you, I will not be easy on you. We have been given two days, i.e. two years to mold you into an SS class kunoichi, with a fractional help from my part. You will be all by yourself as far as your clan Jutsu and your bloodline abilities are concerned. And also, when we are through, you will not remain 13 year old, but you will be a 15 year old Kunoichi, seeing that you will be in here for two years. I will be here only for a day or two, and then I will head outside and wait."

Sanmita nodded solemnly, and opened her scroll. She took out her twin swords, and looked at her new mentor, "Very well, Kalina sensei. Lets begin my training."

Back in Konaha, Marrik continued fighting the Grass Shinobi that tried to fend him off and kill him. "Water Style: Water Wall!" Marrik begun to spin rapidly in the middle of all of his enemies and they begun to get trapped in Marrik's tornado like jutsu. "HAAAAA!" Marrik expended most of his chakra and blew the remaining enemies away. Hokage then ran towards another set of enemies who gathered themselves on a nearby rooftop. Then, Marrik was grabbed from behind on the shoulder by someone unknown. "Lord Hokage!" Hokage turned around and it happened to be Renshi." "Whats the situation?." Renshi then looked over the Hokage's shoulder and said "Watch out Marrik !!"" Renshi was to late and the shinobi stabbed Marrik. But, It turned out to be a clone! The clone fell to the ground and formed a puddle of water. Renshi then swung at the clone with a kunai and kick it high in the throat. Renshi then backed away and made hand symbols and shouted "Earth Style: Great Mud River!" Renshi then spat a huge glob of brownish goo onto the rooftop and it started flowing at the speed of a car on the highway. The shinobi then was carried off the roof and to his death below where his body cracked on the ground. Lord Hokage then appeared behind Renshi and said "Thanks." "Now, whats the situation?" Renshi and Marrik then began dashing towards a building that was clear of danger and enemies. About twelve feet away, they landed on top of a tall brown building with green windows. "About 66% of the Civilians have been evacuated." "24% of the village is destroyed." "5 Anbu were killed on our assault on the enemy." "I took the liberty of calling the Kazekage for backup, and he said they will send 25 Sand shinobi a.s.a.p." "There are four SS class shinobi that are just standing on top of the South Gate." "They are Uchiha, Sasuke (Rouge Ninja), Uchiha, Madara (SS Rouge Ninja and Mastermind) Orochimaru (SS Rouge Ninja and Legendary Sannin), and Kabuto Yakushi (Master Medical Ninja and Taijutsuist)" "Alright, since they haven't moved out yet, focus on destroying the remaining enemies and then report back to the mansion." Renshi nodded and headed out to the rest of his Anbu comrades. Marrik dashed from rooftop to rooftop towards the mansion. When he arrived he ran inside and walked down the long hallway, up the stairs, and into his office. "Its not like him to stand still on a full fledged attack." Hokage rested in his chair and tugged on his goatee once more." "What in the hell could that madman be up to this time!" Then, unexpectedly, someone bust inside the Hokage's Office. "Hokage-sama, I was fending off the enemies, when "He" came in the gates..." A tall, skinny, gloomy shinobi then stepped inside the office. "Thank God! Shikamaru Nara!" "Mmm, Lord Hokage, Sorry for my late arrival, I just arrived back from your mission." "Alright, I have a job for you." "Go to the rooftop, where Naruto and Sakura are---" "Sakura and Naruto are here---" "No time, just go, and I want EVERY Anbu protect by your Shadow Possession Jutsu." "I want a shadow on each ninja that is fighting the enemy." "I dont have enough chakra for that.." "Naruto is there, now both you and Sakura will tap into his chakra when need be." "Yes, Lord Hokage." "Wait! And Shikamaru! If you formulate any plans while your are doing this task, please come down and inform me." "Will do Lord Hokage." Shikamaru then headed off towards the roof, and Marrik sat in his chair and thought about what his next move should be.

"Oww....ughh....damn..." Sanmita panted, and collapsed. "This is more difficult than sensei made it look." she thought, while Kalina yawned, "Hey, are you tired already? You are making me laugh. C'mmon get up, there is no way you have finished this." Sanmita, despite the fatigue, rose up, and began focusing her chakra. In her hand was a small piece of cloth, which she was supposed to tear using her chakra. Sadly she was not getting anywhere with it, not at current pace. Kalina was amazed by the girl's determination, but showed as if it was nothing to se how much she could be pushed. Needles to say, the results were impressive.

However, Kalina also knew that at this pace, Sanmita will take at least half an year to master elemental manipulation, and more to develop some good way to use the elements to their max. Suddenly she remembered something, a small piece of past that she had forgotten. "Sanmita stop. This isn't going anywhere." Kallina had expected Sanmita to act like a brat and tell her she could do it, but to her surprise, that didn't happen. Sanmita just nodded, "I can see that. But I need to do this ASAP right?"

"Yes. I have an idea to complete this. How is your chakra contro", the older woman asked, and a look of realization dawned on Sanmita's face, "You are thinking of teaching me Kage-bunshin, correct?" Kalina stared, "Yes...but how..." "I was wondering why you didn't do that earlier. I thought may be you were thinking that this was better way, so I kept quiet. You are my sensei, so as far as teaching goes, I must listen to you, right?"

Kalina was surprised, AGAIN, at the extent of girl's insight. "You are really good...I will be very surprised if you don't kick Madara's sorry butt to Uchiha-reserved hell-viewing service.", she laughed, then continued still snickering, "Sanmita, sleep. I will teach you Kagebunshin tomorrow. I suppose I will stay for 2-3 days more to look over your performance." Sanmita nodded, and took out her sleeping bag, while Kalina took out hers. Sanmita fell asleep almost instantly, but sleep didn't touch Kalina's eyes. She remained awake, staring up at the shimmering river through the ceiling. "...mmm...hime listen to Kentaro, he loves you...." Sanmita incoherently spoke in her sleep, and tossed around, while Kalina looked at her with shocked eyes, "She speaks in her sleep. Wow, now that's cute, and she looked so...boyish a little while ago. Hehe lets see what our child of prophecy dreams about." she mused and kept listening. Sanmita turned in her sleep again, and spoke, "Nii-chan, Koko-kun forgot to wear his pants....mmm...I love ramen, and sandwiches...mmm..hmm...yeah, Lee san would look horrible if he goes bald."

Kalina was shaking with laughter right now, while Sanmita was speaking in her sleep non-stop. She nearly burst out laughing when Sanmita said, "...mmm...I think I will put a pan full of konohamaru-sensei's special fried onion curry down Madara-teme's throat...the world would be free of two evil things....mmm....Yes mom, dad, its that big a yuck that no ninja can survive it."

Hearing her mutter of her parents, Kalina felt a bout of sadness. The girl was living without her parents, and now she was going to face the cause of their death. Yet, she was able to maintain that innocence, that calm...it was refreshing to see such a pure human being. She realized Sanmita seemed so different because she was simple, not in a bad way of course. She was not easy to figure out because she didn't fit the normal conventions of being a human. The older woman saw Sanmita once again, to see the innocence which was unique to her, when Sanmita muttered again, "...Yea sensei, I will save Konoha and peace, and Hokage sama and you will be together again....I swear....I will not let the Hope leave the urn....." and went quiet, leaving a Kalina in tears.

The next day (in the time chamber), Sanmita woke up early, and saw Kalina staring at her. "Sensei?" she cocked her head, when the other woman smirked, "You know, you are pretty cute when you sleep, you talk more than you usually do. How come no one ever complains?"

Sanmita blushed, "Eeeeh? I am sorry Sensei..I didn't...I thought that the habit was gone by now....Oh I am so sorry that I disturbed you in sleep." Kalina shook her head, "Don't worry. My father used to snore so loudly that our neighbors asked us to use sound proof paint in his room. Well..your sleeptalking wasn't half bad compared to that." Sanmita's blush deepened, "Uhh....Kagebunshin?"

Kalina nodded..."Yes, I will teach you Kagebunshin today. When you master it, you will be able to do this technique with relative ease." An hour went by as they worked together on the basic workings. As expected, Sanmita got the technique right in about 15 mins after Kalina was finished with explanation, and half an hour to do it with minimum chakra usage. Sanmita, at one time, could summon about a hundred clones without tiring herself Kalina was impressed. "I have only seen Naruto san who can pull this feat off. Very well. Now start practicing." Sanmita cloned nodded, and started their chakra training, with Kalina looking over the girl's performance closely.

Meanwhile, Back inside the village, Marrik sat at his desk wondering what his next move toward the enemies should be. The very walls of the mansion shook from the devastating power and destruction going on outside. "This will not turn out good. In the end, I fear we will loose everything..." Marrik gets up out of his chair and walks upstairs to the roof where Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru are. "Each of you have done well, I have another assignment for you now." Naruto raised his eyebrow hinting a sign of confusion and restlessness. "I want you guys to focus now on getting everyone out of this village. I mean everyone, All children, academy students, genin, civilians, and babies." "The only ones to remain in this village are the Chuunin, Jonnin, Anbu, The Seventh Hokage's generation, and myself." "Once everybody is out, we are going to take the fight to Madara and his allies." The three shinobi nodded and proceeded to do as they were told. Lord Hokage then jumped off the rooftop and landed in front of a female shinobi who was down on the ground with a kunai stuck in her hand. "Can you still move?" The female nodded and Marrik bent down and picked her up. "Thank you Lord Hokage." Hokage ran carrying the woman all the way to the other side of the village where they were evacuating everyone. Marrik placed her into the hands of a Jonnin and said "I want her to receive medical attention immediately. That kunai could have a poisoned tip and it could enter her bloodstream." The Jonnin nodded and rushed out the village carrying the woman. The Storm Sage looked around him for more down villagers to rescue. "There!" Marrik dashed to down a hill and ran alongside a long river until he reached a small genin who was looking up at a huge Grass Shinobi. "Pick on someone your own size! Dont pick on somebody who cant defend their selves! Pick on me! Attack Me!" The Grass Shinobi cocked back his right fist and thrusted toward the small, shivering genin. Just in time, Marrik caught the fist before it hit the little girl and gave a swift blow with his left leg to the Grass Shinobi's ribs. Marrik then gave a palm thrust directly to the opponent's heart and he fell back on the ground. "Get out of here! Go towards the West Gate, get out of this village!" The little girl tugged at Marrik's robe and gave him a hug and ran along holding her small brown teddy bear. "HELP ME!!!! OHHH !!! MMMM!!!! PLEASE STOP! OHHHH!" Lord Hokage then looked around and tried to find the source of the weird screaming. Once the location had been pinpointed, Marrik dashed toward where the screams were coming from. They came from behind a building, right on the side of a huge dumpster. "No...." Marrik stopped right in front of the dumpster and his mouth hung wide open. "I cant believe this..." Marrik looked on the side of the dumpster as a woman was pushed against the wall with her face down on the ground and her butt in the air. A masked Grass Shinobi was naked from the waist down and was fucking and raping the woman. "HAAAA!!!" Marrik let his chakra explode violently and the man flew up in the air and came down swiftly on the ground. When he fell on the ground, a white, slimy, liquid flung on Marrik's hand. "What the fuck!" Marrik wiped the cum off of his hand and and grabbed a kunai out of his pocket and cut the throat of the Grass Shinobi. "Are you OK lady?" The lady nodded and scurried to find her pants and put them on. Then Marrik ran down a parallel street until he spotted Renshi a couple feet ahead fighting off some Grass Shinobi. Marrik ran toward Renshi as fast as he could...

Inside the training chamber, Sanmita had been training, hard. She had mastered element manipulation the first week, and had begun to mold it into a devastating the very next day. She first combined her chakra and made a Rasengan (which she learnt from Kalina during one of her 'breaks'), and then she started adding a little of water aspect into it, along with the wind aspect. The result were completely unexpected; the ball grew into size, and the water started spraying like bullets. When she looked around her, she didn't see anything happen, and disappointment washed through her. But then she heard a slight shudder coming from one of the Dummies she had set for training. There was a small water stain on it, and when Sanmita looked closer, she saw sawdust. She opened the Dummy, and gasped, the part where water had blotted was completely obliterated internally. There was no body organ left, only sawdust. She realized the potential of the Jutsu, and started trying to master it, which she did. By adding a little more water chakra, she was able to maintain its shape, and send the bullets at whoever she wanted, and by adding wind chakra, she lost quite much control over bullets, but they became more lethal. Kalina, as promised, had left the training chamber when she was finished teaching her chakra manipulation.

This happened during first half of the year. During next half, she focused on her taijusu, kenjutsu and weaponry. Her twin blade sonata and Uzu no ha were awesome moves, but they were not perfected the way she envisioned them to be. She started perfecting them for next half year, and also tried to learn use of two handed weapons like scythe. She also started training with her summons, trying to bond with them. She was very surprised to know how different celestial spirits are. Aquarius and Scorpio were dating, Leo was an open flirt yet liked Aries, Virgo was leo's sister, Taurus was an open flirt, and Libra was a pickles fan. Sure as hell didn't expect celestial beings acting so normal.

Then for the second year, she started working on her clan techniques, and celestial releases. She found that learning the techniques she had found was a lot easier then the ones she had learnt earlier. She was able to be able to do the techniques within 6 days of reading on them, and master them in next two days. By the end of the year, she had finally mastered all the techniques she could cram in. Also, she also tried to combine water and air in homogeneous proportions, and found that she could create ice. So, she also developed 2 ice release jutsu which were as lethal as others in her arsenal.

The two years had also changed her appearance drastically. Her already long hair had grown, she had gained height, and her face had developed a very different look, it was that of a person who knows, who is mature. Her body had also developed, and those none of her dresses fitted her. For training, she used weighted clothes, and when she realized she was too big for her regular clothes, she began sleeping with the training clothes on. Eventually, after her training with weighted clothes was over, she tore her pants and shirts so they were able to cover her feminine assets at least. Even with them on, she had turned out to be the true deadly beauty incarnate.

Kalina came back after two years (for Sanmita, but two days for the outside world), and saw that Sanmita was practicing an Ice attack. "Ice release: Howl of Arctic!" suddenly, the room's temperature dropped, and the target started freezing, inside out. "Amazing, so you have mastered ice release as well." Sanmita grinned, "yeah. So glad to see a human here Kalina san, I can see my memory hasn't vanished."

Kalina smiled, "This training room is special that way, it only changes physical environment, but your character remains frozen in time, so does your mind. Your brain learned things, but your mind Stayed intact. In any case, its time we head back. I took the liberty to go to Konoha, and sneak some stuff for you to wear. I had expected a growth spurt, but girl, you are a killer right now. If you come in front of any shinobi right now, he will think he is already dead and now is in heaven, seeing such beauty."

Sanmita blushed, "I can't be as beautiful as you sensei." and Kalina laughed, "You have either not seen a mirror or you are too humble.", she smiled, then continued as she gave a small bag, "These are some, you know toiletries and stuff. Get yourself cleaned, we will head to village tomorrow, according to the training room time." Sanmita nodded, "Hai", and immediately ducked into the bathroom in the left corner, while Kalina watched her go with a smile on her face, "Marrik, we are coming to save you and the village, soon....."

In the village, Marrik ran toward Renshi with incredible speed. "Renshi, Follow me, We are engaging the enemy. If you did as I told you, then the others should be getting the civilians out the village and you and I are going to fight the enemy." Renshi looked at Marrik as both of them dashed toward the enemy's position. "With all do respect, Lord Hokage, Im not fit to fight along side you against shinobi who are far stronger than I am." Marrik stopped in mid dash and so did Renshi. "Renshi, Listen to me, You are by far one of the most talented shinobi I know." "Im speaking to you not as your Hokage, but as your friend and your fellow leaf shinobi." "You are highly talented, I trust you with my life, and if anything should happen to me, Your one of the two people Id expect to take care of my wife." "I trust you with this village, I respect you as my equal, and as my partner." Renshi gave Marrik a manly hug and said "Its my job Marrik.." "And thank you." Both shinobi then headed towards the enemy's position, only to find Sasuke Uchiha standing on top of the Southern Village Gate. Renshi then looked at Hokage and nodded; turning his head back to Sasuke, he said "I am Renshi Haruno, Supreme Commander of The Anbu Black Ops Squadron and Core of the Leaf Village." "By order of The Tenth Hokage, I ask you to step down and be taken into custody." Sasuke leapt acrobatically from the gate and walked toward the tow posing shinobi. "Hmph, pathetic... I left this village and seems nothing has changed all these years." "I actually like the old ass man better than than you.." Sasuke looked at Marrik and gave a eerie, sly smile. "But its OK, Orochimaru wiped the floor with that pathetic piece of trash." Instantly, Marrik appeared behind Sasuke and whispered in his ear "Repeat that, Please Sasuke." Marrik snared behind Sasuke angrily at his remark about Hiruzen Sarutobi. "How dare you Uchiha! He died for you and this village! Or have you forgot your roots! How dare you make fun of The Third Hokage!" Marrik grabbed Sasuke's arm and threw him into the air. Simultaneously, Renshi began making hand symbols and shouted out "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Renshi then spat out a huge flaming ball of chakra at the shinobi that was flung in mid air. The fireball connected and ripped his Akauksti Cloak off of his body. Sasuke then made a set of hand seals and screamed out "Lightning Release: Black Chidori!!" Sasuke then came down really fast at Marrik and struck him in his right arm. "HAAAA!" Marrik screamed out in pain and agony. Marrik's right arm started dripping with thick, rich, red blood. "Curse you Damm Uchiha!" Then, a medical shinobi happened to pass by and Hokage called out to her to heal his arm. Meanwhile, Renshi took on Sasuke head on in battle....

"Sanmita, come out already! It has been like an hour since you went in to change." Kalina tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for the 15 year old to come out of the bath.
"I can’t! This dress is embarrassing!! It’s...It’s so scant!!" Sanmita wailed from inside, and Kalina cocked an eyebrow, "What the heck are you saying? I brought that dress especially for you! You can't expect to keep wearing same kind of outfit all of your life, you need to grow up! And what scant? It covers you head to toe doesn't it?"

"Oh really? Well if this is head to toe, then nude will be under the skin! I won’t wear this! I look like a freakin' actress rather than a shinobi!" Kalina retorted, "Hey, I designed that dress you know! And it’s not for supermodels; the cloth used is the finest, most durable of all material you will ever come across. Only I, and now you are wearing this in whole Konoha. You should be thankful." "I am thankful Kalina sensei. But...you are different from me, you will be in rags still be able to look like a supermodel. But this is soo not me!"

Kalina sighed, "Sanmita, if you don't come out immediately then I am going to tell everyone about your sleep talking." Kalina smirked, and Sanmita wailed again, "You can't do that!!! Kalina sensei be reasonable please!" Kalina shook her head, "Nopes, you be reasonable. You are not just a ninja, you are a girl too. You need to act like that. Being a tomboy all the time will not help you." Sanmita sighed, "I won't say I am happy about this. Okay."

Sanmia came out, and Kalina jaw dropped. The person who stood in front of her was clearly far more beautiful than anything she had ever seen. The Sanmita she had seen last night was covered in grime, with hair matted with sweat, grime over her face and body, and a torn dress which was not adding any appeal to her. But now was a different story. Sanmita had washed up properly, and now Kalina was able to see the difference two years had made on her. Her black hair were put in a bun by her trademark senbon, but this time, there was another hairpin, a golden pin with silver swirls and stars on it. She was wearing a deep necked, tight fitting sleeveless Jacket over a fishnet top, revealing her well developed cleavage and her elegant curves. Her jacket had whirlpool symbol on left pocket and Konoha insignia on right, and Kanji for Arrow at the back. Her black leggings had been replaced by a pair of tight fitting stockings, and her skirt had been shortened considerably, from a modest knee length to just above her thighs. Her swords were hanging on the right side of her belt, and a strange, circular weapon on her left. She was wearing a black striped silver bracelet which snaked around her right arm, as if a reptile had coiled around it, and her headband on her left arm. She also had a necklace with a shape of an urn. She wore high heel boots, which despite their appearance, could easily handle the weight of a running Akimichi clan child. On Kalina's orders, she had put on a little mascara, making her hazel eyes look wide and bringing out the distinct green color in it. It also enhanced her fair skin, and overall, Sanmita looked dangerously drop dead gorgeous. Beneath her headband, she had a tattoo of a sparrow with her wings wide, and when she flexed her muscles, it seemed that the sparrow is flying. She had a small chain with a claw-like pendant hanging over her belt..

"Sanmita, you look insanely beautiful! Do you have any idea how perfect you look right now? I can't even describe.....Wait, I didn't give those, where did you get them? And what's with the tattoo?" she pointed at her hair clip, the bracelet, the necklace, the chain and the ring on her waist. Sanmita looked at them. "Aaah these, well my clan was no Jutsu specialist. They had the power over clouds, so most of the Jutsu depended on them. So Amaya also developed a unique weapon style. This,” she pointed at the snake, "Is Hanatsuki. She has been carved out of the dragon claw, and tempered in Nagi Islands. Good for closed ranged fighting. This urn was a symbol of my clan, and the claw of Kazuki. They are also weapons, I asked Virgo to carve it for me. They store chakra little by little, like Godaime sama's technique. I can use it with this little flower too.” She looked at her dragon ranger-weapon. Then she continued, "This hairpin is kind of like a projectile weapon. Before this whole stuff began, I was working on this. This clip, well it has poison inside, a rare poison which can kill within half a minute of entering the bloodstream, and it is like a chakra sensitive metal, so it will follow the chakra at which it was aimed. And, aah....This on my waist; it’s something I got in celestial release scroll. I call it Suzume. I had only summoned weapons in my celestial edge mode, but this one is a lot more fluid. I can't explain it right....perhaps I should show you."

She took the weapon out, and Kalina couldn't help but gasp. The whole circle was metallic, with some kind of inscriptions made on them. Sanmita pressed on a spear like inscription, and the Circle opened to form a spear. She pressed an arrow, and it formed a bow. "The arrows in this case are our chakra." Sanmita told her, and Kalina gawked, "Now that's wicked", she managed out, "Sanmita, I think...we are ready to face our villains, and you are ready to save the village. We will be heading out now. Are you ready?"

"Are you sure I can't change my dress?" Sanmita pleaded miserably, and Kalina laughed, "You are carrying perhaps the strongest of all weapons, are able to do Ice Jutsu without being born with its bloodline, and you are afraid of a dress? What are we going to do with you Sanmita?" she shook her head, and Sanmita quietly muttered, "Damn." Then she turned to Kalina, "If that's the case, then I am ready to leave. Let’s go."

They came out of the staircase, Sanmita running at a blinding speed, and Kalina was having difficulty keeping up with her, "Sanmita, not so fast! I will fall behind..."

"What? Oh...I was running at my normal speed. Sorry, I didn't know you were slower than me." Sanmita stopped, and Kalina looked at her incredulously; after that speed, she wasn't even winded. "How...last time we were running equally..."

Sanmita smiled, "Umm...I outgrew my clothes, so I wore my training clothes for quite some time. May be that's why I am so fast. I will remember to slow down. Lets go?" She asked, and Kalina dumbly nodded. As she ran, she couldn't help but marvel at Sanmita's composed, sincere behavior: despite the fact that she was stronger, she didn't show slightest bit of disrespect. Her respect and love towards the girl increased, and realized hat even though she had known her only for a few days, Sanmita now was as precious to her as her close friends were, and she would be protecting her with her life. She also wondered, how strong had Sanmita become? I was obvious from her ice attack that she had mastered the elemental manipulation to the heights Kalina was yet to reach, and she was the best elemental mistress in Konoha. "I guess we will have to wait for the final show to see how strong she has gotten in these two days, well years for her. I hope you are safe Marrik, because you sure would never want to miss this." she then looked at the girl again, and frowned, "Although, I am sure he will not approve of my choice in her clothes....I am doomed...."

With the blinding speed they ran at, it took about three hours to reach the village. The village was a mess. They could see smoke coming from various places. The gate was destroyed, and they could hear the screams coming from inside. Sanmita was shaking in anger, “Damn those bastards....they are destroying my home...” She turned towards Kalina, “Sensei, don’t go in alone. I have an idea” Kalina looked at her, “But...” However, Sanmita was busy summoning Kage bunshin. A clone appeared, and Sanmita told it, “I hope you know that secret entrance to Hokage manor, the one we used for taking Hokage when he attacked? Escort her there. Understood?”

The clone nodded, and Sanmita turned to Kalina, “Go to the Hokage mansion. You are not prepared for a battle. Wear your gear, and arm yourself. Fight with all you have.” Kalina nodded despite her tears, and followed the clone. Sanmita meanwhile entered the Village through the gate. She ran in order to see the destruction, when she heard a cry. “NO! NOT MY DAUGHTER! PLEASE NOT HER. AAH... I WILL DO WHAT YOU SAY....YOU...YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME. DON’T TOUCH HER.NNNGHH. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU...AAAHN...NO....”

“MOTHER!! AAAH...NO...AHN...HELP!” Sanmita ran towards the direction of the voice, and gasped at the sight. A woman in her thirties, and a girl about fifteen year old...Four men, two ganging up on each female, forcing themselves in.....Sanmita saw red. She could hear the anger buzzing behind her head, but she was so horrified that she was not able to move. One of the fiends then cackled, “What is the use, Konoha trash? We killed your husband in front of you. You got no one to fuck you at nights right? We are doing ya a favor, both mother and daughter together, becoming our....well lets leave the word. Hey Nakamura,” he shouted, and another one looked behind, “What do you say we take them with us, along with some others. They will be a nice red light material. I kind of like these two,” he grabbed his victim, and stroked her from neck to her waist, "So warm..." Nakamura grinned, "You always had a thing for virgins. But this one here...so easily aroused. Good thing I am not the one riding her, look how much Makao has been exhausted, he can't even get out of her." He grinned, and thrusted himself deep inside the other woman, "Aaah I didn't hear the scream...I like them screaming...." That was the final straw, the fury clouded every corner of her mind, and the next thing she knew, Sanmita was standing amidst a pile of dead bodies, all men. The girls were cowering with fear. “Are you two ok?” Sanmita asked, then sighed, “What a stupid question, of course you are not. But....”

“Whoever you are, thank you...but it is no use. If its not them, then someone else will come. This is not the first time we have been violated. Most of the shinobi are raping the women, who were not rescued during the first wave and who can not fight. Mother here has already been violated twice, earlier saved by Hokage sama.” The girl replied, and her mother shuddered. “I am sorry, it must have been traumatic...”, Sanmita said, but the girl broke down, “It was one thing if they were raping women. But they are on a killer spree, killing anyone who comes in their way. Some of the more sadistic ones are even violating children, and I mean even those who are barely 5 years old. They are slewing children’s head off, and hanging them in front of their mothers, they are making younger boys see their mothers and sister being raped or their father beheaded before they kill them. Worst, they are raping young boys. The one who was behind mother...he was tired for the same reason. He spotted me when I saw him with...a child. It was horrible..it is horrible. Not just men, the kunoichi are shameless fiends as well. They don't rape of course, but they are burning the broken women, throwing acids, slashing Kunai. They make sure the people die the most painful way possible. Most of the villagers have been rescued, but the shinobi hands are full, they can either fight them or help evacuating. Please, whoever you are, leave this place now. I know you are strong, I saw it myself, but you are nothing compared to a whole army of them...”

Sanmita frowned, “Where is Hokage sama?” to which the woman replied, “He has gone to fight Sasuke Uchiha one of the gates, at least, that’s what I had heard from...” she buried her head in knees. I rose up, and took out some of my clothes from the scroll. “I don’t know if they will fit...but better something then nothing right. And you don’t need to worry about me, I can take care of myself. I will escort you two to safety. After this whole mess is over, please seek me out, my name is Sanmita Kazuki. Alright?”

The girl nodded dumbly, and then both women took the clothes given by Sanmita. Thankfully, they fit. “Okay, we shall go, yes?” she said, took the daughter at her back, and carrying the woman, she ran towards her family estate, where they had a small underground cellar complete with basic amenities. “That place would be perfect for these two...I must make arrangements for the others who have not yet been evacuated as well. I also have to find Hokage sama. Those two Uchiha Bastards have a hell lot to pay...” She created 5 clones of herself, "I hope I don't need to tell you what you have to do. Still, I will. Search all corners of Konoha, every nook and cranny. No matter how insignificant a place, strip it down to the end. Evacuate all those who were left behind, and bring them to the shelter at my place or at the cellar in Sensei's home. You know how to enter without a key. Leave no one! And try to finish off whichever enemy you find. Understood?" They all nodded, and immediately went to different directions. Sanmita murmured, "Hold on tight." and ghosted her way towards her family home.

Hokage thanked the shinobi who healed his arm, and continued to fight Sasuke. Marrik called out to the passing female shinobi "Sanmita !!" Sanmita ran towards Hokage at intense speed. "Wow, Kalina really made you look beautiful." "The enemy is Sasuke Uchiha, You and Renshi are to use teamwork and take him down. Once your done, report to my office, Kalina should be there by now, so she can heal the rest of my arm." "Yes Hokage sama." Sanmita ran toward Renshi as he fought bravily against Sasuke. Renshi knocked Sasuke into the air and then headed to meet Sanmita. Once Renshi arrived, he stopped short and looked at Sanmita with a gaze. "Umm, Uh, Hey. Name's Renshi Haruno." "Nice to meet you, under these... rough circumstances." Renshi gave a sly smile to Sanmita. "Maybe, If you like, I was wondering after all this is over, could we maybe go out sometime for ramen.." Sanmita looked behind Renshi and grabbed Sasuke by the neck and punched him in the face and said "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Sasuke was then sent flying by the huge ocean creature that Sanmita conqured. Renshi looked at Sanmita couriously and said "Howd you know he was coming?" Sanmita smiled and said "Because you were paying to much attention to me." The tall and muscular shinobi then scratched his head and followed Sanmita's lead. Meanwhile, Marrik made his way to the mansion; killing a few Grass and Sound Shinobi on the way. Marrik entered his mansion and ran to his wife and kissed her passionatly. "Hmm, how the training go?" "Shes strong, but baby, Keep an eye on her." Marrik rubbed his head and followed his wife to his office. "Why, if I may ask Kalina?" "Because... Somebody was watching us while we trained, Im sure Sanmita felt it, but I dont know why she didnt ask me about it." Marrik and Kalina entered the room and sat down and kept speaking. "You know its only gonna get worse from here on out." "Once Madara finally shows his face and true colors, we are going to have to fight for our lives." "Yes I know Marrik, But I trust you and Sanmita with this village's protection." "Good. Whatever happens Kalina, I Love you. Your my rock, Your the stars that shine brightly in my sky, Your the angel that comes down from heaven to me, your what drives me everyday, and I promice, I wont give up." Kalina shed tears and hugged Marrik. "I love you too Marrik Hyuuga." "But you better not die on me..." The Hokage and his wife sat in the mansion and watched Sanmita and Renshi take on Sasuke.... They were two of Konaha's Finest. They will defeat their enemy.

Meanwhile, Sanmita and Renshi had ganged up on Sasuke, and they were on an equal footing, so far. And this was when Sanmita was only using Taijutsu. Sasuke was having hard time warding her attack, and he had already been tired fighting the other guy. He couldn’t understand, he had checked up on every shinobi, every ANBU that were in Konoha, but he had never seen the girl before. What surprised him even more that this girl was obviously strong, yet he had never heard of someone like her. She was about 15-16, with hazel eyes that seemed to dance in the fire. He had seen many women, one beautiful than the other, but no one interested him. But with every flex of muscle, every kick in his gut, every punch, she seemed beautiful, dangerous. She was fighting, but it looked as if she was dancing at some unknown rhythm. Even her companion seemed to have difficulty keeping his eyes away from her.

Sanmita however, was surprised at the ease. Had he been weaker, or had she really become stronger than she imagined? She was not putting in much effort, yet the Uchiha was being pushed back. She looked at Renshi, and smiled. She had been hit on plenty of times, but them and Renshi beloged to two completely different categories of men. If he had asked her out at a time like this, she must have been looking really good. But that was not enough to distract her from fight. She though, “I think this is time to finish this,” she thought, and looked at Renshi. A look of understanding passed through them, and Renshi nodded. He took a step back, and I gave him my water sword. He charged it, and she took out Suzume. I pressed the arrow imprint, and the ring changed its shape. Renshi charged at Sasuke, Sanmita took up the bow in her hand. Uchiha dodged, and reading his moves, she shot two consecutive arrows in two different directions. He tried to dodge the first, but it embedded itself in his arm. His eyes widened for a second, and the second arrow whizzed to embed itself in his abdomen.

Sasuke gasped, “Shit.”, he felt himself falling, “Where is that Kabuto when he is needed the most.” A second later, Kabuto in his snaky glory, appeared right behind him. “Sasuke-kun, how come you are beaten this much? Didn’t you say that you could crush every shinobi here without any help?” Sasuke winced, “Don’t be ahead of yourself. I simply underestimated them. It won’t happen again. Let’s go to base, I am itchy at my stomach.” “Sure, Sasuke kun,” Kabuto smirked, and supported the Uchiha. Sanmita snarled, “You won’t be going anywhere,” and rushed to attack the duo. They however, had started to vanish, burning like a piece of paper. Sasuke smirked at the girl, “You have intrigued me girl, and no one has ever been able to do that. If you keep this up, I might consider making you my woman for fulfillment of my other goal.” He sneered at her, and vanished. Sanmita’s face was a mask of horror, with the phrase “my woman” ringing in her head. She screamed in empty air, “Go screw yourself Uchiha.” and sighed. Renshi came in front of her, and would have laughed at the look at Sanmita’s face, a mixture of absolute horror and seething anger, had the situation not been so serious. Suddeny, she turned green, and shuddered. “Hey, what happened? Are you okay?” Renshi asked, and Sanmita whispered, “I heard a very traumatic thing.” “What do you mean?” Sanmita muttered, “Me…his woman….horrible…disgusting…” Renshi laughed, and held her shoulders, “That won’t happen. We will finish him, yes?” Sanmita looked up at him, and smiled, “Yes.” She raised herself, and looked with renewed strength, “Lets report to Hokage sama. I bet he would be dying to know the outcome.” Renshi smied, “Yes, lets go.”

Marrik opened the door to his office as he saw Sanmita and Renshi running in. When Sanmita stepped in, they saw that Naruto, Shikamaru, Sakura, Hinata, and Kalina were all inside. Naruto then asked, "Whats the next move Hokage?" Marrik raised out of his chair and begun speaking. "Sasuke escaped, Madara is still out there, and it turns out there are a list of people who have been reanimated." The four other Kage then walked inside the office and stood next to the rest. Marrik then continued to speak, "These are the people who have been reanimated, "Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, The First Hokage, The Second Hokage, The Third Hokage, The Fourth Kazekage, The Third Kazekage, Zabuza, Haku, Pein, Deidara, Sasori, and Itachi Uchiha." "Before we all take Madara Uchiha down, we must take down those people I have just listed." "We will split into two groups and take each seven down and meet up at the Valley of the End to fight Madara." "Myself, Kalina, Sanmita, Renshi, Hinata, and The Raikage will take down Orochimaru, Jiraiya, The Second Hokage, The Fourth Kazekage, Zabuza, Pein, and Sasori." "Shikamaru, Naruto, Sakura, The Kazekage, The Mizukage, and The Tsuchikage will take down Tsunade, The First Hokage, The Third Hokage, The Third Kazekage, Haku, Deidara, and Itachi Uchiha." Each of the shinobi in the room looked at each other and got acquainted at a fast rate. "Alright, Try and use as much teamwork as possible, and everyone must come back alive." "Once your done, Go to the valley of the end and begin taking on Madara, once the other team is done, they will join you for back up." "Remember guys, We are at war now, Fellow Kage, The shinobi of your villages will be off taking on The Grass and Sound shinobi that have infiltrated our villages. They are strong, so do not worry about them." "Its time to end this tyranny once and for all before it becomes irreversible." All of the shinobi moved out toward there separate destinations. Little conversation took place while they transitioned towards their respective places. Then, Marrik broke the silence between his group saying, "Alright the first on our list is Orochimaru, he should be in the Grass Village." Marrik and his group headed toward the Village Hidden in the Grass. Sanmita did not speak all the way to the village. This concerned Marrik and his team highly, but hopefully she is just preparing herself for war. Once Marrik's group reaches The Grass Village, they head towards Orochimaru's Den. "Alright, Everyone Stop, This is where we part ways." Sanmita, Marrik, and everyone else all stopped in front of the Grass Village Gate. "Alright, Renshi, Sanmita, and Hinata will go on ahead and fight Orochimaru in his den. Kalina and I will wipe out the entire Grass Village population. Renshi, look after the ladies please." Renshi nodded at Marrik, and Marrik handed him a comm which he put in his ear. "Once hes defeated Renshi, Contact me so we can meet you at the South Gate and head towards our next objective." "Yes Sir." "Alright, Remember guys, this is war, dont hold back and give it your all." "The fate of the world hangs on the balance." "And Sanmita ..." Marrik smiled and had a very evil look in his eye. "Kick his ass for me, ok?" Sanmita responded and laughed, "I promise Lord Hokage." The group ran inside the Village gate and headed north toward the center of the Grass Village. "Ready Kalina?" Kalina kissed Marrik and said, "Are you ready?" Marrik gave a sly laugh and left Kalina in the dust and entered the village. "MARRIK !! WAIT !!" Kalina ran after Marrik laughing and smiling...

The Orochimaru hunting group had stopped a little before the Grass village. The upcoming fight was going to be tough, and all of them knew it. Renshi however was worried, Sanmita had not spoken a word, shown even slightest bit of emotion. He had been surprised that she was the same girl he had escorted to Hokage tower 3 days ago. She had always been beautiful, but now there was an air of maturity which immediately drew him to her. She had smiled even when they fought, but now, her eyes were blank. The bubbly, blushing Sanmita was nowhere to be found in the one beside him.

After they had had their food, they all decided to sleep, Sanmita deciding to take the first watch. The other two went inside the tent, and Sanmita plopped down on a wooden log. Sanmita took out her shamisen, and started singing softly. She felt herself drifting away with every note. "Beautiful music.", Sanmita snapped out of it, and looked at the speaker, "AAh, Hinata san." she said mechanically, and Hinata smiled, "You wrote that? I like Shamisen a lot, and am pretty sure that piece is something I have never heard before." Sanmita faltered, "Uh, yes. I tend to...put my emotions in my music. I usually don't know what I am playing."

Hinata cocked her head,"Judging from this piece, I think you are feeling insecure and...well I think I recognized one emotion, but I would rather have you admit it." Sanmita didn't respond, and Hinata continued, "That boy is worried about you, you know? He doesn't show it, but I can see his worry in his eyes. I remember the girl who saved me with her sword, and she was different from you. What happened?"

Sanmita felt her carefully built facade break, and when she faced Hinata, the woman saw miserable face of a girl. "Hinata-san...I thought that I was strong, that I could handle this war, but seeing those people....I don't know anymore. It is different imagining a war, and being in one…I thought wars were just a fight of weapons on a larger scale. But I saw those who were crushed by those enemy nin. Right after the fight with Uchiha was finished, the clones I had dispatched for rescue dispelled. Their memories were horrible Hinata san. What if I don’t succeed?”

“Why are you thinking this way? You are a child of prophecy Sanmita. You will definitely succeed. We all believe in you.” Hinata tried to placade the girl, but Sanmita started sobbing, with a hint of hysteria in her voice, “Yes, the prophecy….you have heard only the Toad version right?” Hinata nodded, and Sanmita continued, “You don’t know the other, more ancient version of it. I will tell you.” Sanmita recounted the prophecy she had found in the cave with urn entrance. When she was finished, Hinata looked thoughtful, and Sanmita sobbed harder, “I…I thought about it, I am called sparrow by my loved ones. Naruto san was Kitsune, so it makes sense that two of us will have power to finish the prophecy. But..there is a warning in last 4 lines. ‘one born at zenith of seventh, beware’ …I was born in 14th of July, that would be mid or Zenith of the seventh month of the year. It is warning me. ‘A loss of past may bring despair’ … Some of my past loss may cause me pain. ‘Then steal the boon spirits bestow’ I still don’t quite understand what this means….but…but the last lines……..”

Hinata asked gently, “What are the last lines Sanmita?” and the girl started crying earnestly, “ [i] ‘And the sword then shall kill the doe’ Hinata san, Doe means peace, sword means war. If I fail to override whatever the pain comes in my way.. the world and our dream of peace shall get destroyed… all because I am going to be too weak.”
Hinata let out a peeling giggle, and Sanmita looked at her quizzically. Hinata gasped, “It’s just that…you reminded me of someone. She was always disheartened because her father considered her weak. It was an old grudge: he thought it was her fault his wife died. He demeaned her for that. She never realized that she was strong, stronger than many of the Kunoichi in the village. But then she saw a boy, someone who was always scorned by rest of the class, practicing. He was no good, but he kept trying till he fell. That girl got inspired. She decided she won’t ever give up, just like the boy. Time to time, she had started to fall off the wagon, but that boy always came to her rescue.”

Sanmita laughed, “You are talking about yourself aren’t you?” Hinata nodded, “Yes. That girl was me, and that boy was Naruto kun. Sanmita, Naruto kun and I were perhaps the weakest links according to villagers. While I can’t say for myself, Naruto kun proved himself to be the strongest. The bravest thing I remember doing by myself was jumping in pein’s way to defend Naruto-kun. I confessed to him, and he forgot after the fight was over. I had to confess again, and boy, was he surprised.” Hinata let out another bell like laughter, and Sanmita smiled. The woman continued, “My point is, we all have weak points. I was nearly killed because of my timid attitude, but I seeked my strength in it, and molded into something that became my strength, or that is what Naruto-kun says. He tells me that I am not timid now, but gentler, more graceful. That grace is my weapon, he says, and that’s how I was able to develop my own gentle fist technique. Sanmita, your weakness is the same, you doubt. You know too much, analyze too much, and weigh out all options. That is a good thing, but you always focus on the ‘what if..?’ You must understand Sanmita, no one will blame you if you fail.”

“That’s the problem; no one will remain to blame me if I fail.” Sanmita cried again, and Hinata patted her, “We don’t know that. If you fall, we will support you. We will be your strength. Sanmita, if you truly don’t want to fall, you won’t. Remember, everyone has a past, everyone has regrets. You just need to find something worth living, and work for it. Believe me, you have got everything you need to succeed, but if you believe you still lack, well then find something to improvise, ok?”

Sanmita nodded, “Yeah”, and Hinata spoke while rising up, “Go and sleep. I will take the watch. We have a big day tomorrow. Oh and, you have a nice way with music. Maybe when this war is over, I will come over to listen you play again, and perhaps a more beautiful, happier, lovable tune. Ok?” She gave a glance at Renshi’s tent. But Sanmita didn’t notice, “Of course. I will be happy to play for you.”, then she paused, “You are missing him right?” and Hinata just smiled, “Sleep Sanmita. I hope that you don’t have to face what I am feeling, that’s what I am going to say.” Sanmita grinned, and ducked inside her tent.

Marrik and Kalina then quickly disposed of a couple of shinobi. "Where is everyone else?" "Dont worry about it, lets just take a break baby." Marrik and Kalina then walked over to a nearby hut and went inside and killed the two men that stood inside. Marrik stepped on something really sharp on his way in, but he didnt notice it, and his foot began to bleed. Marrik sat down on the couch and leaned back to catch his breath. "Whew.." "It doesnt make any sense for nobody to be here." "We have only taken out maybe six Grass Shinobi in all..." Kalina then walked seductively over toward Marrik and raised her leg up and over, finally sitting on his lap. "Mmm, Dont worry about it.." "Kalina then kissed Marrik's lips." "Hey, now is not the time for that..." Kalina put a hand over Marrik's mouth and took off his Flak Jacket. "Kalina, we are in enemy grounds, this is not like you.." "We have a mission to do.." "Ok, but nobody is around.. We search this side of the village for a while now." "Lets take a break and relax, take your mind off the mission." "Kalina, we cant do----" Marrik was then cut off from speech, when a hand went down his all black ninja pants. Kalina then smiled at Marrik and said "Come on baby..." Marrik then smiled and said "Kalina Quit!" But, Kalina insisted on not stopping and kept rubbing and teasing on The Storm Sage. Marrik's Flak then fell off the couch and he leaned over to pick it up. "Hmm, whats this? Why am I bleeding, I dont remember hurting myself." Kalina then rubbed Marrik harder and said "Its nothing, come on baby." Kalina then got off Marrik's lap and crouched on the floor unziping his pants. "Kalina!!! We are on a mission! Soon, the carpet was red with blood and Marrik lifted his head. "Wait, I dont remember getting hurt like this..." Then, Marrik felt a warm and sensational pleasure inside of him. Hokage then leaned his head back and let out a sigh of relief. All the while these events took place, Marrik couldnt stop thinking about the blood. Marrik then began to breath rapidly as his head leaned back. Kalina then lifted her head and said "You like that?" Hokage then smiled and rested his body on the couch. Kalina continued to go down on The Hokage as he sat and enjoyed every bit of it. "No, Somethings not right. I cant remember that injury, and I dont remember feeling any pain, or it start to bleed." "Wait! Marrik then raised his head despite the unbearable pleasure that he was recieving and said "Hmm, Release!" The Storm Sage then felt a raw and uncaged pain pulsating from his foot and a really good feeling coming from his "area.." "What in the hell!" Marrik then reached in his pocket, grabbed a kunai, and stabbed the kunai in the lady's forehead that was giving him head. "Your not Kalina, this was a genjutsu, a Sensual Genjutsu, that works on men's minds." Marrik then pulled up his pants and and threw his flak on and kneeled towards the woman on the ground. "Where is Kalina? Where is my wife!" The lady smiled and spat out a white substance from her mouth. "Awah! Dont tell me I even came in your mouth.." "Fucker.." 'Where is my wife!!" The lady then looked at Marrik and said a final word before her death "Acomplished." The lady then died on the floor. Hokage then rose up and brushed his goatee. "We must have gotten seperated when I ran off in front of her." "That means ive been under a genjutsu ever since I cought up with her." Marrik rushed out of the hut and pressed the small comm link on his ear trying to contact Renshi and the others...

The Orochimaru extermination team was fighting its way into Kusa, and this time, Sanmita didn’t hold back. Perhaps that was why they were able to finish them off within matter of minutes. Renshi gasped, “Sanmita, I thought Celestial releases are limited, how come you are able to do it like this?” to which, Sanmita just turned around, “Huh? Oh, I am not using Celestial edge. They are not as limited as they were, in fact they are practically limitless in full throttle, but I decided I might as well not push myself too far for the main event. These attacks are a combination of Amaya techniques and my blades.” She replied, and immediately beheaded a shinobi attacking from behind by a swap of her dragon claw. “Huh, attacking from behind, coward. Renshi, 1 o’clock…5 of them” Renshi jumped, “Water release: Water Dragon bullets” he unleashed the Jutsu, downing the assaulters, “Right, Cowards”, Renshi grinned, then looked up at Sanmita crouching on a tree, “Where is Hinata sama?” he asked, and Sanmita jerked her head, “go five meters to left, you will see her at 2 o’ clock.” He nodded, and pushed a Kunai in abdomen of an oncoming shinobi. Sanmita was busy dealing with two Jounin, when a third shinobi, probably a genin, sent a kunai hurling at her. “Watch out!” Renshi screamed, and the girl sidestepped. She was able to avoid it; however her clothes were not that lucky. The kunai slashed through her skirt, and split it upto her hip, revealing a well-built thigh, and it cut through her jacket, cutting it into two as it fell off, taking the fishnet with it. Every shinobi paused to see the girl. Sanmita was now clad only in a flimsy satin like top, through which her under-clothes were visible. Her skirt was already tight, and now when she moved, her bare thigh was very much visible. Her tied hair were certainly not any help, they flaunted her slender neck and back sinfully. The mere sight of her barely concealed full breasts was enough to drive the men to arousal. “Damn,” Sanmita muttered, and threw the Kunai back at the staring genin, so engrossed at staring her chest that her attack impaled him, and he didn’t even dodge. Renshi’s back was turned on Sanmita, so it wasn’t till he saw the assaulters stop at their tracks with blood oozing out their noses that he turned. When he saw the girl, he couldn’t help but stare stupidly. When had the girl he saw five days ago become so…exquisite? Luscious? Appealing? He didn’t have words to describe how she looked to him. Added to what he knew about her, he felt his throat stuck. His thoughts were pure however; he saw only beauty, unlike the other shinobi who were seeing her as another piece of ass they wanted to fuck senseless.

“Kami, I didn’t have another one of those. Guess I will have to use my previous jacket. Hope Kalina sensei doesn’t get too mad.” Sanmita muttered, and then looked at the guy who was grinning at her ravenously. “I am going to have you,” he screamed, and immediately made a move to grab her. Sanmita back flipped, but another one grabbed her from behind and held her top with one hand in an attempt to remove the cloth completely, and other went inside her shirt. Sanmita however, was too naïve to realize this, and thought he was trying to bind her to be attacked. Instead of struggling to get his hand removed, she took out a senbon out of her hair, letting them fall a little, and stabbed it in his assaulter’s neck. He fell with a thump, breaking others’ gaze from her body.

“The Konoha chicks really are delicious. I used to hear that a lot at home, but seeing this one, and the other one fighting…I think we are in for a great time after we are finished with these,” a guy behind Renshi spoke, and he whirled around, his face a mask of fury. “What did you say?” Renshi spoke with his voice dripping with anger. The shinobi looked at him, and sneered, “That I am going to fuck that bitch here. Not just me, every single one here after we have incapacitated you three. We have not had a good time for 3 whole weeks, thanks to you.” he paused as he saw Renshi’s anger escalating, and suddenly, the boy attacked. The man dodged, “Oh, touché’. She is your girlfriend or something? Aaah, you must be having her every night. Is she as soft as she looks? How tight is she?” Renshi saw red, his anger got out of control. Their words themselves seemed to defile the purity of the girl. “You know nothing of her,” Renshi replied, and charged at them. He was blinded by anger, and attacked furiously, slashing, jabbing, and firing Jutsu at them. Sanmita still was oblivious to her dress, and kept attacking her opponents. She was surprised at the ease; she was not putting in any effort. She looked for her comrades, and saw Renshi attacking furiously. ‘What is he doing? He will tire himself like this. I must help him.’ Sanmita jumped, and immediately cast a Kage bunshin. Without looking at it, she ran swiftly to hide herself, while the clone went to fight. All this happened so quickly that no one suspected that the one fighting them now was just Sanmita’s clone, not her real self. Sanmita settled herself on a tree branch and took out her Ocarina. “Musical art: Death notes”, she whispered, and started playing the instrument.

Renshi was surprised to see small black dots flying towards them, hurling at a blinding speed. They started hitting the shinobi, who tried their best to avoid them. But as soon as they touched their neck, they passed out. “I didn’t know there was any bug master here.” Renshi thought out loud, but suddenly found himself falling on his back. One of the black things whizzed by, and he was surprised to see that it was not a bug, it was a musical note. He looked back to see what pushed it, and saw Sanmita staring at him, clambered over his chest with her hands on his hips. Her expression was that of disapproval. “Renshi, what the hell were you thinking? You didn’t need to go all out on them; we have a bigger fight and have to save our energy.” But Renshi barely heard her. He was busy looking at the girl, inching every part of her. Her hair had fallen down somewhere along the fight, and the other pin she wore was holding what remained of her bun. He looked down and saw her dancing eyes, her cheeks rosy from running, her lips that he had a sudden urge to touch. Seeing her up this close gave him a really good view of her body from the literally see-through top; he saw huge scar running at her waist, one knife cut on her arm, and some small training scars running on her body. But nothing had marred her perfection. He looked further down her navel, and found himself blushing. The way she was sitting on him gave him a straight view of her undergarments. Renshi had shied away from any physical contact, especially from girls, in favor of his duties as a shinobi. But this girl…it was as if she was designed to attract him, to evoke the buried sense of being a man to a woman inside him. But she was exquisite, he was not. It would be a miracle if he could win her heart.

Sanmita kept ranting, and when he didn’t reply, she looked down, only to watch him staring at her like a blind man seeing sun for the first time. His gaze made her blush all of a sudden, and a part of her wondered why. She saw a scar running down his temple, and hint of a burn mark on his neck. She could feel the pure firm muscle beneath his shirt under her hands. She started remembering the time the guy had barged into her room, when she tugged on him to take him to Hokage, when he saw her during her fight with Uchiha and smiled at her, asking for a date. How many times had she thought that he was different, he was special? An electric current passed through her when she realized what was happening, “I am getting attracted to him. Urghh stupid teenage Hormones, what am I gonna do?’ she panicked. Renshi saw her face suddenly growing a shade of pink, and fought an urge to kiss her cheek, “No..no…this is not right. We are on a mission, no attraction now please.” Then an unbidden thought came, what about AFTER the war, and the answer he imagined was too graphic, unbidden thoughts of how he was going to hold her flew into his mind. He had an urge to smack his head, and suppressed the thoughts before his long held nosebleed finally made appearance. When did he become such a pervert?

There was a slight coughing noise behind them, and they looked at the source, startled. There stood Hinata Uzumaki, all in her full glory, “Am I interrupting something? I will come back later….” Sanmita squeaked, “Uhh…no no, nothing at all. Umm there is nothing…I don’t think of him that way..aah yes..I don’t. umm I was..uhh…Are the enemies finished?”

Hinata smiled, and Renshi groaned. “Oh for love of all that’s holy… when she will learn to lie? Wait…she is lying about nothing going on between us, and she doesn’t think of me that way. But its obvious she is lying. Is she also…..” He felt hope springing up in his chest, “Maybe she likes me too. The way I know, I am pretty sure she is denying it. Heh, this war is becoming more interesting. I hope we both survive, because maybe…” he looked at the girl, “May be I have finally found someone for my existence.”

Hinata also had sensed the lie, but acted as if she didn’t notice, “Yes. I have finished them off. Though they were a bit of hurry to come here, one of them wanted to see something like ‘a nude sexy Konoha bitch’ I can see they over exaggerated. You are not nude….just scantily clad. What happened here?” Sanmita looked down, “Oh…I used my Genjutsu to knock these out…and while we fought, well..my jacket fell off, and the fishnet tore too. By the way, thanks for warning, Renshi. I will wear my Jacket…though it’s a little small now.”

Hinata smiled, a hint of mischief in her eyes, “Oh, I have a Jacket here. It will fit you.” She took out a scroll, and unsealed a jacket with an elongated piece of cloth. Renshi however, prompted, “Prove that you are Hinata sama. Tell me, whose name you use to tease Hanabi-hime.” Hinata smiled, “Konohamaru kun…oh they look so nice together. Is that your answer?” Renshi nodded, and Hinata picked the Jacket up. Before giving it to Sanmita, she winked at Renshi, and mouthed ‘you will love it’. Renshi looked at her incredulously. “Sanmita, we will wait here. Go there behind the trees and change. Take that top off, it’s bloodied already. Change your skirt too, the jacket has one attached. We will wait here.” Sanmita nodded, and Renshi looked at her suspiciously, “What are you planning?”

“Oh, you will see. Or you want to see now? I can project a byakugan image to others’ mind too you know, my personal technique. You just need to ask.” Oh, how much Renshi wanted to see, but he blushed,”No…no need.” Hinata was smiling, “She likes you too. I can see that. You both look cute together, so don’t worry. And what I gave her now will certainly be a good test for your resistance.” Renshi opened his mouth to say something, but then he heard Sanmita groan. He stood up instantly, fearing that someone might have attacked the girl. He ghosted his way to find the girl, and stopped in his tracks when he did. She was not wearing a Jacket; but lavender top which fit her body like a glove. She was zipping up the black skirt, which was no better than the torn skirt, Her back was open, and the cloth, despite not being thin enough to compare with the flimsy material she wore earlier, was sultry enough to draw attention to her figure, and give a glimpse of her body. “This is not a jacket. Why the hell do these Hokage wives keep on dressing me as if I am going to walk on a ramp rather than fighting in a mission? Though this cloth is the same as the one I wore earlier…it isn’t like me to wear such…girly outfit.” Sanmita groaned again, and whirled around to see Renshi smiling. “You look nice. Sorry, I came here like this. I hear you groan, and thought you may be in trouble. But I swear I didn’t see you changing at all.” Sanmita blushed, “Oh..ok. Umm, we should get going. We need to reach grass and finish Orochimaru.” She moved towards the clearing, and lost her balance. Renshi came towards and supported her weight, but it was not needed, she had already straightened herself. “Are you ok?” he asked, and Sanmita laughed, “Yea I am. We should hurry.” Renshi nodded, and they immediately made their way to Hinata. Hinata smiled at her, “You look beautiful. Good good. I have killed all these nin. Good job at knocking them down this effectively, you will make a fie assassin.” Sanmita nodded, and Renshi spoke up, “Hinata san, we should hurry. Shall we go?” Hinata nodded, and the three of them swiftly ran towards their destination.

Hokage then screamed out to the three running shinobi. "Sanmita!" "Renshi-Kun" Marrik then ran towards them with his hands waving around in the air. "Kalnina, Shes gone, She was taken, This way, follow me.!" Marrik leaded the shinobi towards a high cliff. "Alright, at the top of this cliff is a cave, and thats were Kalina is." "We've got to save her, please..." The Hokage gave a desprate look on his face and started to shed tears. "Dont worry Lord Hokage, we will find her and make whoever took her pay." Renshi headed up towards the cliff with Sanmita and Hinata. Marrik then gathered his chakra and began sprinting up the cliff and when he finally reached the top, he disarmed a shinobi and threw him off the ledge. "Oh my god, Lord Hokage must really be upset, he actually threw him off the cliff." The three shinobi then finally made it to the top, and they followed Marrik inside the cave. "Beware of traps, we are on enemy grounds, stay alert and be ready for anything." The three nodded and proceeded towards a dim lit room with a huge snake statue in the middle. "You scum, How dare you lay hands on my wife!" Marrik stood in front of the door with Sanmita, Renshi, and Hinata behind him. He faced Orochimaru with anger and a killing intent. "Where is she!" "Where is she You Slime!!" Orochimaru then gave a sly smile and laughed, "Oh, shes hanging over there." Orochimaru pointed towards a rope with a female dangling from it. "Marrik! Help Me please!" "You three, take him down on my signal, Im gonna go free her, then we will join you." Marrik then grabbed a kunai out of his back pocket and Sanmita placed a piece of paper on the end of it. Marrik then ran towards Orochimaru and made a quick dash left and threw the kunai at him andran towards the dangling Kalina. Hinata then charged at Orochimaru and activated her Byakugan. Sanmita then leaped from wall to wall and got behind Orochimaru without him knowing. Renshi jumped high in the air and said "Fire Style: Great Dragon Flames!" Renshi than spart out two huge flaming dragon heads at Orochimaru, which he both dodged and then Sanmita threw a shuriken at his head from behind, piercing the back of his neck. Hokage then threw three shuriken at the rope holding Sanmita, and she fell from the sky. Marrik leapt in the air and caught her and set her down in a nearby corner. "Here, let me take this off your neck." Marrik then helped Kalina take the rope from around her neck. "I knew you would find me... I hoped you would find me.." "Im sorry, For leaving you behind.. Please forgive me." Kalina smiled and said "Of course I do." Marrik then told her to stay put and he ran to help the others with Orochimaru. Orochimaru then used the Art of Substitution and dodged Hinat's oncoming attack and made a set of hand seals and screamed "Ninja Art: Shadow Snake Summoning!" Orochimaru then held his hand in the air and a wave of snakes bombarded Renshi and sent him flying and finally hitting a wall. "Marrik then charged his chakra and screamed out "Lighting Release: Lightning Blade!" He then targeted Orochimaru and motioned for Sanmita to distract him. When she did, Marrik chaged at Orochimaru and hit him in the stomach with the jutsu. "Damm, He substituted again." Orochimaru then appeared behind Hinata and hit her in the neck and she collapsed to the ground trying to catch his breath. "Sanmita, do something, While I regain my chakra.." Sanmita nodded and charged towards Orochimaru. "I guess its time for me to go all out.." "Make me proud Sanmita"...

Sanmita took out her Suzume, and jumped in front of the snake. She pressed a small claw-like inscription, and immediately, the weapon turned into a ranger-weapon. “Orochimaru, you have sealed your fate. I hope you enjoyed the world of living, because now, I will send you back to hell.”

Orochimaru cackled, “Kazuki-kun, you really think you can defeat me? A wishful dream…” “Because an Edo-tensei cannot be defeated until you seal it?” Sanmita cut in, and Orochimaru sneered, “But of course! Aah, you are the first to know this. But knowledge won’t help you.”

Sanmita paused, and smirked, “You don’t know anything.” And then, she raised her hand. Her small dragon weapon, Hanatsuki, started pulsing around it, and raised its head. It started slithering on her hand, and enlarged in size, till Sanmita’s hand was covered with silver metallic scales, and on her palm, rested a dragon’s head with its mouth open wide. Orochimaru’s eyes widened, “That is the legendary weapon, Hanatsuki! It was said to be lost ages ago…where did you find it?”

Sanmita’s companions looked at each other with confused expression. They had never heard of a legendary dragon weapon, but Sanmita replied, “It was an Amaya legacy, sealed by its last user so it could be wielded by a worthy descendant. I proved my mettle, and now, I will rip you with its fangs.” Sanmita charged. Orochimaru realized he had to take this seriously, and took out his Kusanagi. The blade clanged with Suzume, and Sanmita swiped Hanatsuki over the Snake Sannin’s head. Orochimaru dodged, but still received a small cut on his cheek. “Interesting…I have never been pushed back in my complete form. Even Sasuke kun had to wait for me to be weakened in order to defeat me. Kazuki kun, it is unfortunate that I did not find you when I was alive. If I had, I might have been able to wield such a powerful body.” Orochimaru spoke, and then back flipped. Sanmita was seething, “Ice release: Frozen icicles!” Immediately, the air around her froze to form ice needles, and she launched them towards the snake sannin. He used replacement, and appear right behind Sanmita. The girl was however prepared for this, and the icicles appeared behind her as well, and before Orochimaru knew it, he was pierced all over by ice needles. “Shit” he muttered, and immediately, his mouth started to barf up green slime. Another Orochimaru sprang out along with the slime. “Gross.” Sanmita made a face. Orochimaru sprouted snakes to bind Sanmita, but as they surrounded her, Hanatsuki scales rose, cutting the snakes into pieces. He tried to grab her other arm, but she had gotten the message, and slashed Suzume even before the snakes reached her.

Orochimaru started going through another set of seals, “Wind release: Wind shards” A large wall of wind started developing, and Sanmita cursed under her breadth. She held Suzume, and touched another inscription. The weapon lurched, and started changing the shape till it became a leash-like weapon. The wind wall broke into shards, and Sanmita jumped. She brought Hanatsuki over her face, and swung her leash in a graceful arc. Using the suzume, she started to beat down the wind shards, and protected her eyes using Hanatsuki. When the Jutsu wore off, she moved the weapon away from her face, only to see a smirking Orochimaru come right in front of her. Before she could react, Orochimaru launched a kick in her gut. Sanmita was thrown back and slammed to the cave wall.

“Nnnghh”, she spat blood out of her mouth, “Damnit. I need better defense. Celestial release: Stellar fury-Serpentine armor!” She screamed. Suddenly, light enveloped her, so fierce that everyone in the cave had to shield their eyes. The light died, and Sanmita stood in a green Kimono, with a Haori over it. The kimono was knee length only, and the arm with Hanatsuki on was sleeveless. Her hair was tied up in a small tiara, and the Kimono neck was deep enough to show the cleavage. Instead of her boots, she now wore silver sandals, and their threads snaked up to her calves. She opened her eyes, “Time to get the show rolling, Orochimaru!” She vanished from the sight, and Orochimaru was thrown back with a kick in his abdomen. Before he could land, Sanmita threw a punch in his face, and Orochimaru flew upwards. She jumped above, and launched a roundhouse kick on Orochimaru’s neck. The sannin fell over his face, and he muttered incredulously, “What…how..?”

Sanmita landed, “Stellar fury is a powerful technique which allows me to have better agility, enhanced strikes, and upgraded defence. This Armor I am wearing will not let any harm come to me. Also, the final level of stellar fury gives a wide assortment of armor, Sepentine gives maximum flexibility. Ironic, isn’t it?” Orochimaru rose, “I did not think I will be pushed this far. Kazuki kun, lets take this outside, it’s a little closed here.” He didn’t wait for her response, and ran outside the cavern. Sanmita muttered, “Crap!” and immediately went to Kalina, “Sensei, please take care of these three. I must fight outside.” Kalina nodded, and whispered, “Best of Luck.” Sanmita smiled, and ran outside.

Orochimaru was waiting, and as soon as he saw her, his smile grew. “Sanmita, we shall fight here.” He bit his finger, “Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Manda!” a giant snake rose, and Orochimaru perched over it. “Orochimaru, you are back to life huh?” The snake spoke in deep throaty voice, “But I can see that death has not taught you manners. How many times do I need to tell you not to summon me? I need a thousand sacrifices after this.” Sanmita looked at the snake warily. “You want to fight with Summons, fine!” She bit her finger, and wrote Kanji for ‘door’ on the ground. Rotating as if she were opening a key, she screamed, “Open the gate of the twins: Gemini!” A burst of light, and suddenly two small creatures came out.

“Sanmita chan” they spoke simultaneously, “What do you want?” Sanmita took a long breath, and pointed at Manda, “Copy him.” The twins nodded. Orochimaru had no idea what was going on, and hence did not do anything. Manda cackled, “These two puny things two fight me? Ridiculous.” Gemi took advantage of the opening, and touched Manda. “Info collected”, he smiled, and started transforming. By the end of transformation, I was standing on a giant snake. “Sanmita chan, remember the time.” I nodded, and they started sprouting out details, “Name- Manda, likes to be called Lord of snakes. Loves to eat human brain dumplings and frog soup. Views about Orochimaru: sniveling son of a bitch who forces overtime without giving proper payment. Weak point: 5 meters above the hide from tail side, which he keeps underground, point at nose where that blonde big busted old hag team mate of orochimaru pierced her.”

Sanmita couldn’t help but snicker, and the faces of both her adversaries were identical masks of horror. Sanmita smirked, “Gemini, go!” there was a mutter of “Hai!” from the snake beneath her, and they launched themselves to the snakes, “4 minutes to finish!” The Gemini-Manda coiled, while Sanmita went through hand seals “Amaya secret technique: Seventh cloud!” Immediately, the wind picked up speed, and seven small wisps of concentrated water and wind formed around Sanmita. They circled around the snake sannin and his summon, circling furiously thus making the rendering them motionless. Gemini struck Manda on his nose, and Manda toppled over, and Sanmita struck a small patch in Manda’s hide with Hanatsuki. Manda curse as he howled in pain. “Damn you!!!” were his last words, before he vanished, causing Orochimaru to fell. By this time, the girl was tired, and knew she could not carry out the job much longer. As if on cue, Gemi and mini’s transformation was finished, and they ‘poofed’ out of the battlefield.

“SANMITA!!” a voice came from behind, and she turned around to see Marrik rushing towards her. “I thought you could use some help here.” Sanmita nodded, “My summons had to copy Manda, and well, it was tiresome. Don’t worry, I am fine.” Hokage nodded, and then screamed, “WATCH OUT!” He grabbed Sanmita, and used replacement. Sanmita looked through corner of her eye, and saw that Orochimaru was sprouting heads, snake heads, one of which one of which had attacked where Sanmita stood now. "Wow, that was close." Marrik said, and Sanmita nodded, "thanks. what do now?" to which Marrik just responded, "Right now, RUN" as they both dodged another snake head.

While running away from the nasty snakes that emerged from Orochimaru's NASTY face, Marrik and Sanmita thought about what their next move should be. "Neither you or I can keep running much longer." Marrik turned to Sanmita beside him while running on a treetop. "Your right Lord Hokage.." "What should we do." "I need you to distract him, while I preform the seals to reverse the reanimation for Orochimaru." Sanmita looked at Marrik as if he were totally insane. "How in the hell do you expect me to do that?" Marrik reached inside of his long Flak jacket and grabbed a small orb with a Leaf Symbol on it. He handed the orb to Sanmita and told her to eat it. As she ate the small orb, she said "Wow, what did it do?" "You have exactly FIVE minutes of unlimited chakra." "ONLY FIVE!" Marrik held up five fingers as they jumped over another snake head. "When the time is up, your chakra will be complety diminished and you must regain more, and you focus will be a little shattered." "But by then, the hand seals will be completed and Orochimaru will be gone." "And ill take you to Kalina and have her restore your chakra and heal you if you take damage." "Now go!" Sanmita sidestepped on the side of a tree and dashed toward the incoming snake heads. Marrik stopped and began making a set of hand symbols. Sanmita ran on top of the first snake head and made some hand symbols and said "Water Style: Water Shockwave!" She than spat a huge body of water out her mouth on the snake and its body began to sink in the water. Marrik then leapt to the side of a tree away from the snake that was about to hit him and kept preforming the seals. Sanmita then stood in front of six giant snake heads as they squrimed toward her rapidly. The girl planted her foot firmly on the ground and took a deep breath. "Alright, I have to give him enough time.." "Here goes.." Sanmita made another set of seals and said "Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Jutsu!" Sanmita then made a set of twelve gigantic sharks and sent them hurling toward the snakes. Marrik then charged toward Sanmita and the snakes still making hand symbols. As Marrik jumped over dead snake corpses and heads, he finally caught up with Sanmita and hopped on top of one of the snake heads. Marrik ran down the back of the snake towards Orochimaru's body. Once Marrik got close enouggh, he jumped and kicked Orochimaru in the face, finally slamming his hand on the ground. "Forbidden Jutsu: Reverse Summoning Reanimation!" Orochimaru then coughed out blood and grabbed his heart. Marrik quickly drew blood on all five of his right fingers and put the bleeding fingers on the summoning seal on the ground. Then, five black flames then appeared on each of Marrik's bleeding fingers and he rushed at Orochimaru; placing his right hand on Orochimaru's face and turning it. A casket then appeared and Orochimaru disappeared inside the casket as it desended back into the ground. "Whew, Done.." Marrik rose from the ground and ran to an unconcious Sanmita; laying on top of a fallen tree branch. "Well, the pill must have had quite an effect on her." Marrik picked her up and dashed back inside the cave to the others. "Kalina, wake her up and heal her injuries." The female shinobi responded and Marrik reached into his pocket and grabbed a piece of paper, crossing Orochimaru's name off the list. "Next, is Lord Jiraiya.." "I wonder where he would be." A bashed up Renshi then walked over toward the group and said "Tenshi Bridge." "How do you know Renshi---" Before Marrik could finish his sentence, Renshi interrupted and said "Beacuse its my job, and plus.. Id get a lecture by you if I didnt." Marrik smiled and said, "Well, you were the best man on Squad Nine.." Renshi laughed and said "I remember those days, back when Marrik, Myself, and this girl named Shana were genin." "Marrik and I were exactly opposites, always fighting, arguing, hitting each other.." "Until one day, Marrik let me win an arguement. I was suprised, and ironically so was he." "Thats when we started to understand each other. And he became like a brother to me." Kalina smiled. "Renshi, I will admit, you were kinda cute, I had a slight crush on you before I met Marrik." Renshi turned his head and said "Hes your type, Both of you can be very ignorant." Renshi then smiled and Marrik stepped on his foot. "Lets deal with this later.. After our mission is done.." The shinobi nodded, and Sanmita began to come to her senses and wake up. "Feeling alright child?" Sanmita nodded at Hokage and said "Couldnt be better, besides the fact you gave me a pill that felt like I drunk two liters of vodka straight back to back." Hokage smiled and dashed outside the cavern. "Hurry, Tenchi Bridge isnt far from The Grass Village, we shall make it by tonight." Everyone then dashed outside the cave and down the mountain towards the Eastern Gate. Mysteriously, Renshi asked Sanmita was she alright. "Yeah, Im ok. I should be asking you if your ok, considering your the one who took a beating." Sanmita then blushed and tried hard not to laugh. "I---I was just concerned.. And yeah, I didnt do good at all." "Nonsense, your a great decoy." Sanmita then smiled really hard and ran much faster, catching up with Marrik and the others; leaving Renshi behind. "HEY !! Thats not funny." Renshi blushed as he chased after Sanmita...
