“I’m strong! And I wont let you harm Sasuke-kun!!” Sakura shouted as she looked at the sound warrior with pure determination burning in her eyes.

“Heh, what’s a little girl like you going to do?” the man sneered as he gripped the handle of his blade placed on his left side.

Without a word, Sakura charged towards the man who let go of his blade and blocked a kick that was sent towards him. His hand reached out to grab Sakura’s ankle who placed her hands on the ground to support herself while aiming another kick towards the man’s head with her free leg.

“Damnit” the man growled as he let go of Sakura’s leg and rubbed his pained cheek from the kick.

“You little brat!” he yelled while aiming a punch at the girl.

Sakura got out a small ‘eep’ before ducking and rolling to the side as the missed punch went downwards and to the ground. Quickly, Sakura got up and grabbed the dagger she had used earlier that had slid near the wall.

“Take this!” she shouted and aimed the dagger above her head and towards his back.

Blood splattered as Sakura looked hopeful at the dagger which was in the man’s arm. He had turned just in time to take the hit to his arm. Growling slightly, the pink haired girl took a plunge as the man’s free arm came to swing at her.

“Just give up. I’ll be sure to kill you fast” he bit out as Sakura decided to aim straight at his other arm and bit into the wrist.

“What the hell? Get off you little shit!” he shouted and began to punch the top of the pink haired girl’s head as she bit into him harder.

‘I wont give up’ she thought as the large man continued to launch punches towards her already bruised and bloodied head.

“Sakura!” The pummeling stopped as both said girl and the man looked over to see a slightly cut up Sasuke, with Neji and Ten-Ten following him towards the two.

“Sasuke!” Sakura let her clench of teeth on the man go as Sasuke and Neji charged towards him and both sent punches straight at the large man that sent him to the ground unconscious.

“Are you alright, Sakura?” Ten-Ten asked as she ran over and kneeled down next to the pink haired girl.

“Ya I’m alright” she replied with a light smile.

“Sakura are you- what happened to your hair?” Sasuke asked as he finally noticed the girl’s now choppy hair.

“Oh this?” she asked while taking in a longer part of the newly cut hair near her face into her hand and gave a small smile. “Nothing, just a call for a new look.”

Sasuke scowled as the girl continued to smile and Ten-Ten began to usher her to a safety room where some maid girls and children had been gathered.

Once Ten-Ten had led Sakura to the safety room, Neji and Sasuke went back to collecting any others who were still out. As they stepped outside, the sight of blown up houses, random corpses and small flames in random spots came into view. The sparks from the fires went up into the night sky giving it an awful glow that reeked destruction.

“This is awful” Neji said as he took a step ahead of Sasuke and looked at the practily destroyed village. “Some leader I am, I couldn’t even protect them” he looked down sadly.

Sasuke frowned as the Hyuuga took a moment or two to regain his composure before looking back at the raven haired man.

“That’s expected from someone born in such a place” a slithery voice said as both boys turned to see a pale man with long black hair smirking at them, another man with gray hair at his side as he stood there.

“Who the hell are you?” Sasuke questioned the man who just chuckled evilly.

“My name is Orochimaru and I believe you are the young Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke” he said the name in a voice that made shivers course down Sasuke’s spine.

“What of it?” said boy scowled as the man took another step towards him.

“No need to be so rude…” the snake man began as he gave a small flip of his long black locks. “I just wanted to make an offer.”

“Offer?” the Uchiha questioned, raising a slender brow in question.

“Yes. You see, my original plan was to come and kill you but instead…” Sasuke shivered as he felt the man looking him up and down, practily mentally undressing him. “I’ve changed my plans and want to ask you to come back with me, maybe become my heir.”

“No” Sasuke replied immediately.

“And why is that?” Orochimaru asked with a slightly pissed look.

“Because I have a duty to take care of the south.”

“That’s not all though, is it?”

Sasuke scowled as the snake man smirked at the raven haired man.

“Well I wont invade into your personal life but… keep this in mind, Uchiha-kun” Orochimaru began as he began to retreat, the silver haired man following. “I will return” and with that, they disappeared.

Both Neji and Sasuke sighed in relief once the enemies had cleared out. It was over, for now.
