23 Hinata 2.0 4 vs 4 Hinata gamble on Tobirama

Next it was Sasuke turn to go into the cage and seeing Gaara stare at him he was in for a form of revenge.That match ended up taking longer then the one from Naruto in the end the examine put an end to it. Giving the victory to Gaara by an hair apparently. Sasuke plasma jutsu had a lot of penetration and could easily melt the sand of Gaara but this one could just use his sand to create more from the ground in the end what would have been a stalemate ended up in a defensive battle of attrition. Sasuke had to dodge every so often Gaara offensives and this one never gave Sasuke the chance to observe him to find some weakness in his work around. Sasuke lost too much chakra and could not activate the sharingan anymore. The jinchuriki ended up still unable to catch Sasuke and after 20 minutes of that this match was stopped for the judges to decide who would win on a point based system.

Sasuke problem this time was Gaara rational thinking and his near infinite chakra. Even with the use of the system in the end one would feel the exhaustion after a while. Gaara didn't need to move much to execute his numerous technique, but it was not the case for Sasuke so by the end his offensive took a down road and Gaara managed to land some good hit in even with the fact he didn't manage anything big the judge accounted every hit and Gaara had more. Sasuke had proven able to pierce Gaara defense and to get away from his sand but that was at best proof of his good training and not that he was stronger than him.

I could see how mad Sasuke was, but in my opinion he should have focused more on a way to block the sand then penetrating it. For example if he had used suiton to render the sand more compact and harder to manipulate he could have gone over it to reach Gaara directly. In my opinion, i would have more chance to beat Gaara because my Hyoton would froze his sand by block, but that is a story for after my turn has ended.

Gaara was going to be fighting next, and i was up to fight Hiruki now. I just hope his luck don't flare up too much, or i will put all my points into it in the future to counter that. Seriously how could the luck element even alternate the course of a fight so much, it look so random it make me mad.

In the end his luck must have been out today, or maybe my own luck was high enough to counter it? I actually never tried to rely on my luck in this life some day i should really try to experiment on it to see what it actually go. I know i talked about the fact i was out of luck and had added some point into it but i still felt it looked more like and abstract attribute then a real part of my strength.

The fight was clearly in my favor and it was not the little katon release that Hiruki gave me who could do me anything. I lost concentration for a bit when i notice Tayuya in the audience with a big billboard to support me, i had know she would be exiting the academy in the next batch from Maki. But why would she support me? I had clearly beaten her up last time we saw each other. When i would ask Maki about it later she would explain me the pinkette was grateful to me for introducing her to Konoha and giving her a chance to join the village.

In fact Tayuya had been an orphan from a lone mountain village far away from any form of decent civilisation. Her mother was and artisant who would make musical instrument mostil wind one like flutes and harmonicas, she was also a performer for the village pub. In the end a plague occured and half the village including her mom died. Since the village didn't have enough hands to feed themselves they ended up having to move to other towns.

Tayuya ended up in a rather poor orphanage that had less than 10 child's in it and although the matron was not a bad person they had practically no food when she became 10 she started to train in taijutsu with one of the town guard that was bored. She had pretty good chakra control too and later she left the town to fine work to feed herself. That how she ended up a couple of years later joining Gato goons.

Oups while Hiruki can't see let create some clone, only the shadow clone since more than that would be useless. I move away in the direction of the arena wall and jumped on it with chakra coursing tough the sole of my feet. Walking on the wall i contoured Hiruki field of view while he was trying to get rid of my clones. I removed trace of my chakra before launching an attack from his back, this was an application of silent killing i had learned from Zabuza back when i had helped Kiri no kuni resistance again Yagura.

Silent killing would work way better if the opponent didn't sense your chakra, so ninja that delved into assassination were require to learn to control their chakra to blend in the natural environment or to completely hide it. When it came to blend i was not so bad because of my stealth skill i guess, but i was really good a containing my chakra to disappear from the world around.

Hiruki didn't stand a chance, well or so i would say but he tripped on a pebble while taking hold of one of my clone throwing her to me making me have to dodge or end up injured. Actually, i did none of them, i simply revoked the clone. After that i gave the falling Hiruki a well deserved kick in the chin sending him yard away from me. He was definitely out now, i still felt mad because my plan had been spoiled because of the boy luck. At less i had adapted well to the change. But in spite of that i took the little pebble that had made Hiruki fall and looked at it for a bit before pocketing it.

The examiner after looking over my opponent condition announced my victory and that when everything had gone bonkers. Someone had cast a genjutsu on the stadium, and the feather looker very similar to the one that had been drawn in the manga. I dispelled the genjutsu and took a look at the Hokage vip deck, as expected it was Orochimaru. Even with his disguise i would have recognized him, making my mudras as fast as i could i used my trump card and had Shisui come out, his help would be welcome for what i had planed next.

As all of that was happening a bunch of traitors started to attack our shinobi. I recognized the members of the roots in them and finally i came to understand Orochimaru had helped Danzo escape but how? I then figured it out probably Kabuto had use someone to impersonate Danzo using surgery to transform the appearance of whoever took his place. That was cleaver has even the department of torture and interrogation would not notice right away. I also got played, i should have keep tab on the man more. Shisui finally came out of the tomb and after a simple look around understood why i had called him.

He had not been Itachi teacher for no reason. We took upon ourselves to follow Hiruzen captor until we stumbled upon the fire barrier that had been erected by the for of Orochimaru henchmen. I looked over them and unsurprisingly the one who had taken Tayuya place was Ukon, Sakon twin brother. To my surprise though i could see the Kazekage inside the barrier facing the two man. Without his gold he was not their equal so i used my void eyes to get inside the barrier after covering myself with my anbu gears, would be bad if the sannin knew my real identity. But just as i was getting inside Orochimaru release Hiruzen before Using the same jutsu i had use to get Shisui out.

Damn, i was expecting to counter that, at less this time it will be four again four so not too bad a match-up. I also realized the Kazekage had used a storage scroll to make a few tonnes of gold dust come out. Do the guy know how much that is work? I mean he has that much gold on himself at all time and Suna dare complain they don't get enough money? If the man sold half of that he could probably feed the whole of his village for a year or two. Well now he is not defenseless again Orochimaru and Danzo.

-You finally came out here Black Fox, no i should call you by you true name is not it better like that Hinata chan?

I was surprised but i ended up removing my anbu attire.

-How did you find out? I am pretty sure other then Hokage sama and Kakashi sensei no one should know.

-Girl even if other don't know some have doubt it was not hard to get you cousin to talk after we captured her. After all eagle had alway been good headed and making one plus one coordinate was not hard for her when you integrated the anbu squads under the Hokage.

-Reika? What have you done to her?

The two opponent that were now behind the two first Kage of Konoha probably could sense my murder intents from there. Danzo flinched at it, as he had never seen me angry, i ever only took the eye he had stolen from Shisui before he could act on anything. At the time i was young and inexperienced so my murder intents were too little for some one like him but now? I composed some mudras as fast as i could.

****Orochimaru POV****

Waiting until Hinata Hyuga, who we had discovered was also Black Fox the famous anbu of Konoha, was well worth it. That girl knew very well how to be deceptive, in her match she could have ended it all in second but had pushed the limits to extent the match until she was sure no one would think it was wrong for her to win. If you looked carefully though her dismissal of her clone was way too fast for a simple genin.

In the forest of death i had probably seen a big chunk of her true strength, only now did i know my provoking her was the reason she had used such a terrifying technique on me. This still didn't mean i could take her on just like that but that was good to know. For example now that we had her cousin under our hand to threaten her we might have a better time to manipulate her, or that was what i had though at that time.

When her match came to an end i signalled my men to enter in action and me and that cripple Danzo abducted the Hokage my old master. I had wrongly though the Kazekage would not infer in this, but he came after us, not that it mattered. I swiftly invoked the two first Kage of Konoha after releasing my old sensei. He had well chosen his funeral attire. I was well please until a little anbu entered the barrier normally that should not be possible, but i am guessing she had a form of space time jutsu in her hand.

-You finally came out here Black Fox, no i should call you by you true name is not it better like that Hinata chan?

The girl ended up retiring her anbu attire and well enough it was that little monster my heart jolted a bit, but i knew she could not carelessly use her jutsu inside the barrier. The thing that was bothering me was the young man who was with her, i am pretty sure i had seen him somewhere before, but it didn't matter now. I could always confirm is identity once he is death.

While i was thinking all of this the cripple had let go of the fact we had taken Reika Hyuga hostage. I don't think letting Hinata know that was a bright idea but that might also keep her from using all her power since she would be too worried to focus on the fight at hand. Uh? Wait there was two Hinata, is that a shadow clone? No impossible shadow clone aren't capable of unleashing that kind of pressure around themselves. Could it be this new technique i had heard about?

Apparently the anbu had seen his member count significantly increase and after Kabuto researched it, he found a rather interesting thing. Some of those new members were in fact clones of other members, but those clone, unlike shadow clone who would pop at a simple attack, were capable of sustaining their own chakra system, useless they were hit with a killing blow they would not be any different from the original body. That was frightening to imagine all the possibility of using such a technique, one of them was what the anbu was using now creating manpower from nothing.

That was bad if she were to go search for Reika while she battle us, i didn't know if the one that had gone out was the real one or the clone but this didn't matter much. I just hope Kabuto can stay away from her long enough. Now let make those two decrepit old Hokage submit to my will before making them kill their own student.

****End of Orochimaru POV****

I created a perfect shadow clone and had her go after Reika, for now i could not move from there but it didn't mean i had no way to find her. I took a soldier pill to replenish the deficit from the clone and decided to talk to my three colaborator. It would be better for each to focus on one opponent. Shisui could fight Danzo he should have a good guess of his fighting style from the time he was alive, I could take the second Hokage Tobirama Senju my skill could easily counter his the problem was the two kage.

-I will say it now but me and this guy are going to fight those two. I pointed to Danso and the second Hokage. So i want to know what you are going to do? If i have to say the First Hokage is the worst match-up her possibly i'd rather use someone that could stall him for time until i have figured a way to counter this jutsu.

-If you need someone to stall him then i am the better candidate, my gold similarly to my son is used defensively. Therefore it can stall all the time in the world as long as i don't get hit, but my chakra would not last long if i have to do it for hours on, so make it fast little Hinata.

I looked over the Kazekage and i understood, the guy had figured i was the one to have help his youngest son way back. Well i guess i should not have revealed my real name. Oh well i can always find an excuse for it later.

-I will take care of Orochimaru he is my responsibility, because i could no kill him back all those years ago.

-Sigh fine old man but if you die on me i will bring you back from the death to kick your sorry ass got it?

-Huhuhu, do all you subordinate talk to you like that? That rather homie.

-Hinata is an exception since she is the village most amazing ninja of her generation. I don't think politeness is part of her nindo.

-Now let go.

We each took a stance facing our chosen opponent. I was in front of Tobirama, just before he vanished to get behind me, our two kunai ended up shocking together and this time i use a seal tag of my composition that i touched him with. That seal was suppose to overwrite the command seal for impure resurrection that would remove the personality. Well in theory.
