Quest is Over

When Orochimari ran away from both Sarutobi and Jiraiya, he felt very frustrated since his plan had failed. He could see that the First Hokage and Second Hokage couldn't stop the movement of Sarutobi and Jiraiya which made him think that they were useless.

When Orochimaru was thinking what he should do, he saw the fight between Gaara and Naruto. He raised his eyebrow and quickly ran toward their direction, hoping to cause even more chaos in this village.

"Hurry up!!" Sarutobi said while chasing after Orochimaru.

Jiraiya gnashed his teeth and knew what the plan was for Orochimaru.

"I won't let you Orochimaru!!"

Sarutobi and Jiraiya were afraid that Orochimaru would dare to do something on Naruto and if something happened to Naruto then.... Both of them knew that they couldn't let Orochimaru succeed!

Orochimaru ignored them and ran very fast toward Gaara and Naruto until he noticed a group of kids there. He saw one person that looked different from everyone else. He gnashed his teeth and felt annoyed by Tsunade. He remembered that this person was Tsunade's friend and he smiled when he thought about Tsunade's sad face when he saw what had happened to her friend, however....

"SOLAR FLARE!!!"

Orochimaru felt his eyes were blinded by this white light. He couldn't see anything and could only close his eyes with his hands but it was futile since the light was just too bright!

Both Sarutobi and Jiraiya also closed their eyes when they saw this light.

"What the hell???" Jiraiya complained.

Sarutobi also felt this light was very troublesome.

It was just a bright light, but they had never thought that it would be this troublesome.

---

Solar Flare is a technique from the Dragon Ball.

The user then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except the user, since they are projecting the light. This technique is defensive rather than offensive, and is mainly used as a way to gain the upper hand, or in order to make a hasty retreat or to set up for a more complicated attack without fear of interruption.

Haru knew that this technique didn't have an attack but it was enough for him to stop Orochimarus's movement for a bit.

"Shikamaru!!!"

Shikamaru was a bit shocked when this white light blinded everything, however, he was glad that he was standing in front of Haru while wearing sunglasses. When he heard Haru's voice, he didn't hesitate and used his jutsu!

"Shadow Imitation Technique."

Shikamaru started to manipulate his shadow toward Orochimaru. He knew that he had only a few seconds but it was enough!

Shikamaru could see both Third Hokage and Jiraiya-sama and he was sure that they would help them as soon as possible so during that time he needed to buy them time.

Sakura, Temari, and Sasuke were still blinded by the light and their eyes felt really hurt right now.

Naruto and Gaara weren't that affected by this light since their fight was quite far and they kept fighting against each other.

Orochimaru felt something had entered his shadow and he knew that this was the skill of Nara clan. When his eyes felt better, he couldn't move which really annoyed him. He tried to break away from this jutsu forcefully but it was harder then he had thought.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth and hoped for Jiraiya and Sarutobi to come as soon as possible.

Haru knew that both Sarutobi and Jiraiya were also blinded by his technique. He couldn't help but think that both of them were useless. He knew that he needed to do something or else he would lose his life.

Haru entered a crouch stance, gathering light in his hands.

Shikamaru was on his limit, but he still tried very hard trying to hold Orochimaru in place.

'As expected of one of the three sages.'

Shikmaru knew that he couldn't stop him for long, but suddenly he noticed Haru was about to do something. He wasn't sure what kind of technique that Haru had used, but he thought it was part of Haru's bloodline.

'How troublesome.'

Shikamaru knew that Haru needed time to prepare his technique, so by that time, he needed to hold Orochimaru in place as long as he could!

Haru had completed his preparation and used his magic!

"Holy Ray!"

Haru opened his hands, releasing numerous homing beams of light toward Orochimaru!

Orochimaru's eyes had recovered, and he could break from Shikamaru's jutsu right away, however, suddenly he was hit by a blinding light once again, he was annoyed and was about to close his eyes, but it seemed this technique was different from before since he felt that his body was pierced and hot at the same time.

Orochimaru tried to escape, but this attack was too fast!

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Sarutobi and Jiraiya who saw this scene were stunned in place before they started to join Haru to gang Orochimaru!

Haru breathed unevenly. He didn't expect that this magic would almost deplete all of his Magic Power within his body. If he could borrow a sentence from Shikamaru, he wanted to say 'how troublesome' at this moment.

Haru wiped the sweat on his forehead and felt better when he saw both Sarutobi and Jiraiya had arrived together.

"Are you alright?" Sakura asked with a worried expression.

"I am fine."

Haru was very tired and decided to sit on the ground to regain his stamina.

Shikamaru was also the same and directly passed out on the ground since it was really hard to hold Orochimaru in place even if it was only for a few seconds.

Sasuke who saw both Shikamaru and Haru had played a big role to stop Orochimaru, gritted his teeth and felt that he was very weak, so weak that he couldn't do anything at this moment.

Haru then turned his attention toward the fight between Naruto and Gaara since it had ended, especially when he saw Naruto started to use his "talk no jutsu" to make Gaara return back.

Haru was a bit speechless when he saw it in reality since it was just strange somehow.

When Gaara had returned, he lost and fell on the ground, but Temari and Kankurou who had arrived hurriedly took him and left this place as soon as possible.

No one has stopped them since they were just too tired.

Haru sighed in relief since he knew that the mission was over. He laid on the ground and somehow he felt that this quest was so exciting.

"You're not alright!"

Sakura looked at Haru in worry.

Haru smiled at Sakura and said, "Don't worry, I am fine." The thing that he wanted to do at this moment was to take a bath and sleep, and at the same time, he really anticipated what kind of reward that he would receive from the Group Chat.
