Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ I've met you before ❯ End of Konohagakure no Sato ( Chapter 3 )

===SASUKE'S POV===

At last, our training is finished, I started to walk home, then suddenly Naruto shouted, I planned to pretend not to hear anything, supposing its not important, but as soon as I heard what he said, I realized that it is important.

I have completely forgotten that Kari is to live with me. I looked around and saw that she was not there, I was panicking inside, but I looked calm outside, uncaring. I have been always good at hiding my feelings. I was glad that Kakashi-sensei was still there.

"Kakashi-sensei! Kari is missing!" Sakura shouted, I knew she was only half-concerned. I could feel it in her voice. While Naruto was running around like a headless chicken, I saw Kakashi-sensei's eyes widen, all I saw was concern.

"All of us… are going to search the area, and no one is leaving until we find her. Because if we don't, it is likely that she would fall into wrong hands, and Konoha will soon be history." Kakashi-sensei said firmly.

My hands crept unconsciously to my neck and felt my Tenfuuin, I shuddered, and I knew that with the words 'wrong hands', Kakashi-sensei means Orochimaru. I then ran to the direction I was told to.

===END OF POV===

15 minutes had passed since Kari heard the shout, but then nobody arrived, she tried to shout back but she was to weak to do so, not able to stay conscious any longer, she fell into darkness.

Its already dark when someone arrived, Kari felt an aura coming towards her… it's a strange one, for she hadn't meet one who had an aura like that, the aura she felt was almost as strong as Sasuke's, but still, as the unknown person picked her up, she still haven't discovered the real identity of the person beside her.

Team 7 is now at Hokage's office, Tsunade was extremely worried, after hearing the report Kakashi had just given. They were in conversation when an Anbu, knocked at the door.

"Come in" Tsunade replied.

"Tsunade-sama, a shinobi wants to talk to you."

"Who is it?"

"Its Hyuuga Neji"

"Let him in"

Silence penetrated the room, until Naruto spoke. "What the hell does Hyuuga wants this time at the middle of the night?!"

"Manners, Naruto" Sakura said.

Neji entered the room carrying a wounded Kari. "I found this girl, in a clearing not far from here. And I think there's something about her that you should see."

Sasuke and Naruto was wide eyed, Sakura was at the verge of crying as she saw her team mate at a very dangerous condition. Kakashi looked calm but concerned. Kari, had wounds all over her, she had a big slash from her forehead down to her cheeks.

"Neji, we owe this to you." Tsunade started, but Neji cut her off.

"Just tell me this, who is she, and why on earth would Orochimaru put a Tenfuuin on her!" Neji shouted.

Tenfuuin?! Sasuke ran to Kari and checked her bare neck. What he saw made him shudder, the mark was still fresh, meaning that it was just now that Orochimaru put it on her. "Orochimaru!!!!" he shouted.

"Sasuke…" Sakura whispered, "im sorry."

Sasuke just nodded.

Tsunade then spoke to Neji, "I suppose that you heard about the tragedy about the massacre of the Akegata clan, much like Uchiha's I should say. This girl is the last of them. It has been expected that Orochimaru would put a Tenfuuin on her, we tried to stop him, but as you can see, we failed." She then turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi, I hope you could seal this one like the one you put at Sasuke.

Kakashi nodded, and carried Kari. Moments later, they left.

===TSUNADE'S POV===

What I have been dreading has already happened, another Tenfuuin has been given, and worse, it is given to a member of a strong clan, the Akegata. I just wish that Kakashi could seal this curse, because Orochimaru's succeeding in compiling his followers and he got both an Uchiha and Akegata. Any time now, I know that Orochimaru's been planning an attack on Konoha, our village now lies on this two shinobi and their will to contradict Orochimaru's orders. Because if they couldn't, the history Konohagakure no Sato, will soon be over.

===END OF POV===

Tsunade turned to the genins in front of her, "I want all of you to go home, and Sasuke, I promise to let you know if anything happens to Kari, and as soon as Kakashi arrives, I will ask him to deliver her to you."

Sasuke just nodded. Then he left.
