Shit. Hokage was in big trouble. I actually kneeled down and began running through hand seals.
"Certain Kill Ice Spears!" I tried to attack the red-haired girl minion's corner but to no use. They had internal barriers from within the barrier I couldn't cross.
"Ice Prison!" I tried this one too. My technique reached its target, and I could tell it affected the girl for a split second, but the purple flames immediately countered my attack. I would need at least the chakra of a jinchūriki to make a workable ice prison on any one of the ninja holding up the barrier.
After accepting my uselessness and feasting my eyes on the grandeur chaos engulfing the Leaf Village, I pivoted to flee, only to be stopped by my lovely mentor Yūgao. She was in Anbu attire as well, and she recognized me with no uncertainty.
"Haku, leave this to us. I need you to gather what's going on here and report it back to Kakashi," Yūgao handed me a scroll. "This as well."
[Shit. I just wanted to leave.]
I guess one last mission wouldn't hurt. And so I sprinted to find Kakashi after passing a crazy Kabuto and exchanged eye contact with him.
[Shit.] This was a double invasion from the Sound headed by Pervorochi supported by vice mastermind Glasses allied by Sand idiots whose jinchūriki—Love Boy—is currently missing (along with Team 7's very own Uchiha).
I stopped in front of Glasses who was still lingering. "Certain Kill Ice Spears!" I summoned once more.
I had a subtle epiphany moment where I had to create some new skills to change it up a bit, but I'd do that when I'm not busy half-saving and half-fleeing a village.
Glasses dodged it and began throwing explosives at me, which was futile against my much prided speed. "Ice Prison!" I managed to trap his arms in ice. "Consecutive Ice Ch-
Before my ice chain could reach him, Kabuto disappeared from my line of vision. I looked around and the genjutsu he caused was slowly fading out with the helping shinobi in the benches evacuating the oblivious and panicking audience.
Activating my hunter skills, I finally located Kakashi and delivered the message. I wasn't let off the hook yet. He summoned Pakkun (this talking pug) and ordered me to locate Sasuke and retrieve him.
[Hell no. I'm leaving.]
Kakashi disappeared before I could lay the bad news gently. I turned to leave, but the Pug tugged at my pants.
"Follow orders," he ordered.
Yeah. Hearing this from a pug. Bullshit.
"I'm not staying." I turned to leave once more.
"Sasuke may die." Pug looked at me with his indifferent eyes. "Naruto and Shikamaru are on their way to assist."
"None of my business." It really wasn't. I'm a Mist ninja. I technically don't have any relation whatsoever to these people except for the fact that my previous employer was slaughtered by a Leaf ninja.
"You're part of Team 7!" the pug barked. When he confirmed that I wasn't changing my mind, he left. "Fuck you Haku!"
I watched as the ninja dog scurried away, entering himself into a world of chaos caused by humans and perverted snakes. The whole village was having a massive killing party that Zabuza might've participated in had he been alive and paid.
There were 3 giant snake summons dancing with some of Pervy Sage's bigass toads. The background still had the purple barrier and there were background smoke coming from the forest. Naruto was probably heading there right about now.
I forced my eyes closed and turned to desert the village, but I couldn't help but whip my head back one more time. Ichiraku Ramen would undoubtedly be destroyed at this rate. I clenched my hands into fists before biting myself for making the decision that would change the course of my peaceful life forever.
Goddamn it. Fuck you Uchiha. Fuck you Naruto. Fuck you Konoha. Fuck me.
