Chapter 6 Hope

Within the forest,

"Nawaki…it just can't be…

The man who always maintained a calm and cool expression was nearly having a mental breakdown at the moment, his eyes on the green crystal near his feet, his voice shaky and full of regret.

"Zzzzz!!"

But just right at this moment when Orochimaru seemingly completely letting his guard down stood statue, from the flames behind the boulder blue light flashed and leaving an afterimage a figure with blue lightning arcing around his leg rushed out.

The figure surrounded by lightning stopped next to Orochimaru, on his shoulder a passed out boy in a very critical condition, the right side of his face completely red from burn, most of his attire burned as well with burn marks everywhere on his body.

"And I just took my eye of him for just a second, but thankfully the situation doesn't seem as dire as canon"

Thought Kazuki after placing Nawaki on the ground, after all he was busy in a fight and couldn't completely focus on Nawaki all the time.

But he still seemed to have made a difference, in the canon Nawaki's corpse was mutilated beyond recognition but things are a lot better now, still in danger but having hope of being saved.

"He needs immediate medical care, Lord Orochimaru!"

So without wasting any more time Kazuki told the critical condition of Nawaki to Orochimaru, who stood still with a face like he had seen through the truth of life.

"Nawaki!"

Kazuki's words woke Orochimaru from his stupor and seeing Nawaki on the ground still breathing, calling out his name with some emotion.

"It's still too early to be happy, we have to deal with the enemy and get out of here quickly if we want to save him!"

Said Kazuki to Orochimaru in a deep voice, his eyes tracing around looking out for any possible sudden attack.

Orochimaru who was feeling the pulse of the unconscious Nawaki on the ground hearing his words finally brought a serious and ruthless look on his face.

"Leave that to me, back away!"

Biting his thumb Orochimaru flashed a serious of hand signs, slamming his hands on the ground after the last seal as white smoke covered a large area suddenly.

In the white smoke an outline of a huge figure appeared, with smoke dispersing a huge purple snake with black lines on its body appearing in the light.

"I leave the enemy here to you, Manda! I'm in a hurry."

Said Orochimaru to the snake in a serious tone, at the same time bending to pick the passed out Nawaki from the ground.

"You better prepare at least hundred sacrifices for this next time Orochimaru.!"

The huge purple snake miraculously spoke to Orochimaru, his words carrying immense threat in them.

Swish!!

At this moment, two more shadows emerged from the trees around and rushed towards Orochimaru and Kazuki, but Manda moved faster flicking its long tail.

BOOM!!

The huge tail accurately hit the approaching rain shinobi at high speed, like a pebble in a storm blown away crashing into several trees on the way, uprooting them completely.

"We'll take him to Tsunade, with her medical skills she'll surely be able save him!"

"Let's go!"

"Hn!"

Said Orochimaru to Kazuki quickly, finishing his words rushing ahead with Nawaki on his shoulders, Kazuki nodding and following him.

BOOM!!!

The other two jonin who had some wounds on their body emerged and joined them as well, leaving a huge purple snake rampaging on the battle spot.

-----------------------------

Poof!

The Nara Jonin who in his camp was sorting some documents was suddenly alerted by the emergence of white smoke out of nowhere, but quickly he calmed down seeing a small white snake walking out the smoke.

The small white snake quickly crawled towards the Nara Jonin and expanding its mouth, spitted out a scroll covered with mucus.

Poof

Without any hesitation the Nara Jonin picked up the scroll and unsealed it, the snake meanwhile disappearing.

"The current reinforcements may not be enough now; we may need more to withstand the increase pressure"

"I'm glad we made the decision to send a squad to scout ahead, saving so many lives and getting precious time to send the news back quickly"

Thought the Nara Jonin with a relieved look on his face, now they have time to come up with measures to deal with Amegakure going all out on sand front, if the all platoon had gone ahead then the ambush at the bridge would have taken a lot of lives.

"And this kid… Kazuki Aoyama, didn't expect such a force was hiding among us, the new generations keep getting scarier"

"They just can't let us old guys rest, sigh… truly a drag"

Sighed the Nara Shinobi with emotion at the end, closing the scroll and getting to work.

Quickly the platoon departed towards the sand battlefield, with the news of what happened sent back to village already.
