Reunited as enemies!

Countless figures in orange dashed in every direction, through the streets over the roofs and and around the surrounding forests. They all had one goal in mind and that is to search for the friend they lost without even realising it. 'Shit where is he....! Found him'.

The original turned and ran out of tanzakuga and into the forest following the recent memory he received from a clone that scouted the area. What he found after a ten minute sprint was Garm collapsed on the forest floor. "What the hell is wrong with you, do you want to end up dead!". Naruto picked him up off the ground and rushed him back to the hotel.

Barging in Shizune's room Naruto was shocked to find her unconscious on the floor. "Shizune!! Who did this" dropping to his knees he used his free arm to check on her pulse. "Na...Naruto what day is it" waking up from her sleep shizune slowly got up from the ground. "It's Monday but that doesn't matter right now please look over Garm he snuck off and I found him unconscious, it could only mean one thing".

Shizune looked at the unconscious cub in Naruto's arm. "One problem after the other, place him on the bed I'll deal with him, but I can't do anything excessive, time isn't in our side" Naruto followed her instructions. A calm green aura enveloped Shizune hands as she placed them on Garms body "this will take some time step outside I can't have anything distract me while I work".

Walking out of the window leading to the roof Naruto saw a familiar face. "...Naruto where's shizune" Jiraiya leaned against a wall in a clearly intoxicated state "she's inside but don't disturb her right now she's doing what she can to heal Garm.... What's with you, how much did you drink?".

"Tsunade slipped some drugs in my sake, I can't control my Chakra properly and my body stings all over". "Some ninja you are, although why would she drug you, am I missing something?... Shizune was unconscious on the floor when I found her and she seemed to be In a bit of a rush when I was talking to her a minuite ago, do you think it has something to do with Tsunade"

Shizune stepped out of the room and on to the roof "He should be fine for now, this is the best I can do in such little time, I have to go now". As she was about to leave Jiraiya stopped her "wait shizune".

Meanwhile behind the building infront of them kabuto spied on them "to think even Jiraiya is with them I'll have to report this to Lord orochimaru" he slowly receded into the shadows in hopes of avoiding a direct confrontation with the legendary sanin.

As he left, Jiraiya caught wind of his presence."Hey shizune, about orochimaru... what did you and Tsunade talking to him about". Shizune lower their head and spoke "I want to believe in lady Tsunade, that's why I didn't tell you....". Naruto walked to her side and reassured her, placing his hand on her shoulder he said "Let's go, she might need some backup". Shizune straightened up "You're right, We don't have much time I'll tell you on the way!". Leaving behind a shadow clone to watch over Garm naruto followed behind Shizune and Jiraiya.

After shizune explained the agreement between Tsunade and Orochimaru and what happened since then, Naruto grew restless "The nerve of that snake, just wait until I get my hands on that bastard". Jiraiya remained silent as he ran ahead of the group 'I might have to really kill you depending on what you do... Tsunade..".

As they neared their destination a single sentence was heard loud and clear " you're afraid of blood right, I'll scatter just enough to send you to the brink of death. Hearing this Naruto dashed forward at full speed heading straight for the voice. Pushing aside the branches and shrubs that blocked his path. Revealing an open field.

And there he was kabuto pulling out a kunai about to pierce himself "If you want to bleed, then today's your lucky day" reaching for his ninja tools naruto threw three shiruken at kabuto. Noticing the incoming danger kabuto deflected two and easily avoided the third that was clearly off target.

*Poof* the shiruken kabuto ignored turned into a clone and launched a rain of shiruken at kabuto. Caught off guard kabuto dove into the ground, the result of him using <earth style: hiding like a mole technique> "it's the same jutsu kakashi sensei used back at the bell test!".

'if I remember right this guy can tell where I'm at even when he's underground' keeping his guard up Naruto jumped backwards into a nearby tree. 'i should be safe over here'.

"Well if it isn't the nine tails, you've taught him well old friend, he's not as foolish as the last time I laid eyes on him" orochimaru stood in front of jiraiya their eyes locked, both prepared for anything the other throws at them. Beside orochimaru kabuto slowly emerged from the ground and stood beside him "Naruto uzumaki, you've truly changed... the current information I have on him can no longer be trusted".

Jumping off the tree Naruto landed and stood his ground staring down orochimaru "you!". A smile spread on kabuto's face "but I guess it's impossible to change your ways so easily" beneath Naruto two arms reached out from under the ground covered in green Chakra. *Vmmmm*

Naruto's tendons were swiftly severed. Jiraiya rushed over to his aid leaving orochimaru behind with Tsunade and shizune. Kabuto's true body was revealed to have never left underground, next to Orochimaru was a simple earth clone that crumbled a moment later.

Kabuto sensing Jiraiya inching closer to him hastily left the ground, he could not hope to escape from a ninja on Jiraiya's level with the speed he travels in the ground. Naruto falling on his knees looked at Jiraiya and frowned "Hey you dumb perv can't you have a little faith in me" *poof* vanishing in a puff of smoke Naruto shocked kabuto. "Ha ha, he wouldn't fall for it if i didn't react at all" Jiraiya turned around to look at orochimaru "you're right I'm a pretty good teacher don'tcha think.... Orochimaru!" As he mentioned his name Jiraiya charged straight at orochimaru.

"He's mine!" Standing in the side lines ever since they arrived, Tsunade burst forth with her incrediblely strong Chakra enhansed legs pushing her forward. As she was much closer to orochimaru than Jiraiya she engaged orochimaru much sooner. Leaping into the air she delivered an axe kick heading straight for orochimaru. With inhuman flexibility and evasiveness orochimaru slithered out of harm's way only for Tsunade to rush at him again, destruction resulted from her every action.

Opening his mouth a devastatingly sharp blade came out of orochimaru's mouth, the legendary Sword of Kusanagi. Mear inches away Tsunade prepared to land a devastating blow right on orochimaru's temple. Stretching his neck orochimaru slithered his head around avoiding Tsunade's right hook and positioning the blade to his arm and plunging its blade within. His blood sprayed all over Tsunade, from head to toe.
