Haku's team was now near a small lake, they already had a fire burning, courtesy of Haku and his fire jutsus
"Well, we are already positioned, we just need to get the sky scroll"
Chihiro said to herself. Ronin came trotting to his teammates with good news.
"The traps are already in place, anyone who steps on the ninja thread a shower of Senbon needles will fall on whoever invades our camp."
Ronin commented with a smile.
"Everything is being fulfilled according to plan, now the problem is to get the scroll from heaven"
Haku added with a look would be.
Fhusss
A sound of leaves moving with the wind echoed over the twelfth team's heads.
"Sometimes I think Haku can see the future... Water element: Water horn (Suiton: Mizurappa)"
Ronin channels his chakra and creates a stream of water that was thrown out of his mouth. The jet of pressure traveled through some trees, and there was a groan of pain.
"I will deliver the final blow!"
Chihiro disappeared from the sight of his companions.
Slash.
Paow.
Boom.
The sounds of banging and cutting echoed over the treetops. Ronin held his stomach with laughter.
"Hahaha, poor boy who will have had to fight with Chihiro, she is too good at taijutsu"
Suddenly, Chihiro came down from the treetops with a konoha ninja who had a pile of Senbon needles stuck in his body, it was a miracle that he was still conscious.
Haku approached Konoha's ninja and began to remove the needles, he knew that some needles if removed would cause the ninja's death, thanks to Kiri's Senbon Needle Domain, Haku was able to awaken the ninja from his untimely death.
"I'll be clear, I know you came alone, and you have a scroll from heaven."
Ronin showed the ninja's scroll with a proud smile.
"We will let you go, but never come back here again, understood?"
Konoha's ninja nodded in fright.
"Right now I am retreating, Ronin, when he recovers, escort him as far away from the camp as possible."
Haku retreated in a Shunshin wind with those last words.
Alone in the place, onin and Chihiro, with bored faces stayed in the place.
"Was it just this? I thought it would be more fun, we can leave this test and move on to the next one, but we need Haku with us."
Ronin commented playing with a Kunai on his fingers.
"I think the creator of this story thinks we're useless, he doesn't know we're characters with potential."
Chihiro added.
"You already lost your mind..."
Ronin looked at Chihiro with fear and disgust.
——————
In the treetops, Haku moved by the wind in search of the grass ninja. His face was angry, and he showed a strange disgust towards that ninja.
"I will kill you, I swear I will kill you... Orochimaru'
...
Boommm.
There had been a giant sound near the place where she was positioned, her gaze turned and what she saw left her a little surprised. A straight line of mass destruction, thousands of trees split in half, there were even ninjas who were dismembered.
"I have you..."
It disappeared in a blur of speed to the direction where the explosion of sound had been generated.
...
In an unknown place was Sasuke, Sakura, and the grass ninja, team seven was with minimal scratches, the grass ninja took off his straw hat and recited a few words.
"I'm impressed, you certainly never let your guard down, didn't you, this promises to be very entertaining"
Sticking out her long tongue, she licked his lips wickedly.
'Ahg. She gives new meaning to the word gloomy'
Sakura seriously thought about seeing the grass ninja who was in a fight with Sasuke to see who blinked first.
The grass ninja with a flick of the wrist took out the scroll of earth. Sakura and Sasuke let out a groan of surprise.
"Ahhh, they wanted to get their hands on our scroll of the earth, I'd like to be kinder to their sky scroll"
A disgusting scene happened at that moment; The grass ninja brought his scroll to his mouth, began to swallow the scroll before the stunned looks of Sakura and Sasuke. It was disgusting and disturbing.
One of you two will have to die if you want to get this scroll, the cat-and-mouse game has begun."
He had finally revealed his true intentions, his previously dark eyes had suddenly changed to those of a reptile, a thirst for blood was released throughout the area.
Sasuke stood quietly kneeling and began to vomit, Sakura fell silent with a look of terror, the grass ninja just looked with a look of boredom. Team seven did not know that they had witnessed her future death, that the woman was dead and dangerous.
"How boring, don't worry, it will just be a small picket and everything will be over"
The ninja took a Kunai from one of her pockets, Sasuke tried to meet but it was difficult, Sakura was already paralyzed watching as the woman prepared to throw a Kunai at her partner.
"Dies..."
The woman threw the Kunai in the direction of Sasuke, the tip was about to dig into her skull... A single millimeter and everything would be over.
Another Kunai made an appearance in the direction of the Kunai launched by the grass ninja.
"Fence that they are weak, it is incredible that such a weak bloodlust has weakened them to the point of leaving them helpless"
Haku's voice echoed above the treetops. Sakura and Sasuke finally escaped their helpless state and looked at Haku who looked at the grass ninja with disgust.
"Oh, apparently another little mouse has joined the game"
"Tch"
Haku descends from the heights until he comes face to face with the grass ninja. He looked at Sasuke and Sakura who were catching their breath.
Sasuke, retreat with Sakura from this site, now I will be this man's rival."
With a voice of order and an authoritarian commando Haku ordered Sasuke, he had already recovered his breath to take Sakura and abandon the fight that would take place right now.
"I hate your rotten snake smell... Orochimaru"
The grass ninja changed his gaze to one of surprise, licked his lips, and came to Haku's ear.
"So you have already figured out my costume, Yuki, I have to congratulate you, now... Die!"
An attack was heading for his abdomen, before the attack hit just in time, Haku had escaped the trajectory of the blow.
"Aghh!"
The grass ninja complained of the pain, thousands of ice needles were stuck in his back.
"I will make you suffer for everything you did to Kiri first, then I will kill you in the most painful way possible."
Haku's gaze represented hatred and fury in its purest state, the grass ninja in a swift movement took off the needles stuck in his back.
"That element of yours is very interesting"
A burst of sound was heard everywhere, Haku's vision sharpened to follow the grass ninja bouncing between the tree branches quickly.
"Tch. I'll have to need help for this"
Haku raised his right hand and in one move thousands of clones of it were formed, they were not normal clones, these clones were made of ice. In total there were thirty clones of Haku surrounding the grass ninja who was still bouncing.
"Your chakra reserves are impressive, that element of yours is equal to those of your clan"
A sinister voice whispered behind his ear, Haku turned into water particles and avoided an attack by the grass ninja.
Haku's clones took advantage of the grass ninja's moment of distraction and they all launched attacks with different high-ranking Jutsus.
"Water Element: Jutsu Water Dragon Missile (Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu)"
A large amount of water gathered to create a dragon-shaped column, this Jutsu directly hit the grass ninja with great power.
"Fire Element: Slashing Fire (Katon: Hibashiri)"
A stream of fire formed around, Haku's clone began to manipulate fire in various ways before hitting the grass ninja.
"Wind Element: Divine Wind (Fūton: Kamikaze)"
Another clone of Haku triggered a gust of winds that formed small tornadoes. These tornadoes when combined with the Katon element jutsu formed a colossal fire tornado.
The fire tornado began to fight face to face with different Jutsus of the other clones, gradually the tornado expanded to reach the height of the largest trees in the forest.
Inside the tornado, the grass ninja screamed in pain from the collision of multiple Jutsus. It was impossible for him to survive.
Boom.
An explosion of colossal sizes was caused by the fire tornado, the trees were sent to fly, the ninjas who were near the collision were also sent to fly through the air, and this caught the attention of several contestants and those in charge of the test, it was a great spectacle.
'C-With that he must have already died, it is impossible that he survived with such B- and A-rank Jutssus... Revenge is complete, Kiri'
She smiled to herself, her face was covered with sweat, and her body was reeling. He didn't hold back, he threw Jutsus without measuring how much chakra had to be handled, at least that ninja was already there...
"Dead?..."
Such a gloomy voice, so terrifying, so macabre, was heard behind Haku's ear. His eyes looking at that creature left his body paralyzed; Shattered and charred flesh, crumbling skin, and the eyes of a raging reptile.
"There is no doubt that you are a student of his, I am very sorry to have to kill you at this time, you would have been a great artifact'
A Kunai was slowly approaching his face, his eyes present with anguish and terror, his body paralyzed, how had such a thing happened? After training hard to complete Kiri's purpose, he closed his eyes, but as a last wish he wanted to see her face one last time.
Crash.
"Haku rays, do you do the same thing again as six years ago? We have to practice that again."
The voice he so recognized and adored was before him. A look that represented pure hatred, the Kunai in his right hand that prevented his death, his posture of pride and honor, was the, Kiri.
"But look who's here, how long, you didn't miss Dad?"
His disgusting voice and long tongue disgusted Kiri, he put the Kunai in his pocket and looked at the man who made him suffer so much in his childhood.
"I would doubt myself if I answered that I would miss you, but now... It's time to fight, Orochimaru."
A shower of suffocating attacks flooded the Sannin, the attacks were too fast and lethal that they were impossible to predict. The roles had changed, it was already clear who the cat and mouse were.
"I-Incredible, with that is all the power of Kiri taijutsu... Awesome'
A thought of admiration flooded Haku's head as he saw Kiri fight.
Sannin and Jonnin continued their rain of attacks, anyone who saw this spectacle would be stunned by the combat they were each giving.
"Wait so long for this moment, I wanted so much to murder you and see your face of suffering"
Try to assassinate me Yuki, you are still that kid who always obeyed my orders without question."
"Shut up!"
With a big jump he soared to the top as Orochimaru watched waiting for his next move.
"Wind Element: Wave of the Void (Fūton: Shinkūha)"
After inhaling a large amount of air from his mouth, he spins around his body as he expels a huge wind wave that covers a 180-degree angle. His destructive power had enough power to kill him.
"Earth element: Mud body (Doton: Maddobodi)"
The Sannin transformed his body into clay. In this way, it could move and control the mud to a high degree to block the attack.
The two Jutsus collided with each other, a large amount of debris flew everywhere as everything was watched by an astonished Haku.
"We're leaving here, I need you with me"
Kiri had taken the opportunity to take Haku and put him away from danger, but besides that he needed it to be able to make a Jutsu that they had practiced for many years.
The Sannin on the other hand was watching his scenario, he had lost his two prey and that amused him a lot. The roles changed again.
...
The two Yuki clan members landed in a nest-like place.
"Are you okay, Haku?"
"Yes, just a little tired"
He let out a loud sigh and gently tapped the top of the young Yuki's head.
"I have told you that when this time comes, you will not be carried away by your emotions"
Young Yuki had a dejected head, it was true, her recklessness almost led to her death and if Kiri had not been at that precise moment...
"It doesn't matter anymore, at least you feel good and that's all I care about."
A smile appeared on her face, young Yuki smiled equally.
"Haku, do you still have chakra left?"
"Ehh, yes, I have chakra for two A-rank Jutsu"
Je.
This was perfect.
"Okay, it's time to do our last play, Mirage of Death"
Haku nodded seriously and a little anxious.
...
The Sannin walked with a terrifying smile for all the destruction caused by the two Yuki. Their eyes looked in all directions looking for their prey.
"Oh mice, get out of where you want them to be."
His eyes observed a shadow similar to Haku's, he licked his lips, and with great speed approached the shadow.
"I have you!"
An attack... Wasn't there an effect?
A small piece of wood was cut in half thanks to the claws of the Sannin.
"Was it fake?... No, wait!"
It was too late.
His reflection was in front of him, then another mirror was generated behind him, then upstairs and more mirrors were generated where he reflected. A dome of forty mirrors, ten remained at the bottom, twenty were placed over the first ten and leaned towards the ground, and the final mirrors are one above the other and towards the ground.
"What is this Jutsu!"
A cry of despair came from the mouth of the Sannin who tried to break the mirrors but without apparent success. A mirror where his image was reflected was distorted and showed the boy who tortured for a long time, then all the reflected images of him were replaced by that "child.
"Te recomiendo que no lo hagas si no quieres morir"
I recommend you not to do it if you don't want to die."
All of Kiri's images spoke simultaneously but with his voice distorted. The Sannin was scared and as a last resort I tried to use a Jutsu, but...
Chin-chin
He felt thousands of needles stuck behind his back, ice needles pierced his flesh with great ease, a shadow passed over him and watched the other Yuki enter one of the mirrors and immediately move to another mirror, as he moved, he was bombarded with the same ice needles
One Kiri from one of the mirrors came out of this one, then another followed and the others followed, surprisingly Kiri's reflections were still in place as they looked at the Sannin seriously.
"It's time to end this"
The voice of one of the Kiri sounded deterrent, his gaze was that of a murderer, and with that look came a smile.
"E-Wait Kiri, remember that it was me who gave you the power, remember that I trained you!"
The desperate voice of the Sannin echoed in the ice dome where he was bombarded again with needles, courtesy of Haku.
"I think Haku didn't like what you mentioned, and regarding your silly excuse... Thank you for giving me the power to make you pay for everything"
All of Kiri's reflexes pounced on the Sannin, every blow... Each blow was given with rage against the Sannin who screamed in pain. More needles rained down on the Sannin, this increased the pain produced by the clones that were pierced by the needles without suffering any damage.
Hours, minutes passed? No... Only thirty seconds of immense pain, the dome began to collapse into small pieces and what was displayed in the center of the Jutsu was horrible.
The legendary snake Sannin, Orochimaru, was covered with thousands of needles and blood gushing from his body everywhere and his breathing was hectic. The elder Yuki approached at a slow pace to deliver the final blow.
"Last words..."
With great effort he raised his head and said with amusement.
"How do you find yourself with your illness?"
...
His vision became cloudy, his body completely lost its balance, a large amount of blood spilled out of his nostrils, his eyes lost all signs of life, and the Sannin smiled greedily.
"Kiri!... No... Not again."
Large amounts of blood were expelled through Kiri's mouth and groans of immense pain ensued. The Sannin laughed smugly.
"Damn!"
Young Yuki helped Kiri stand up, but with difficulty as she continued to vomit blood.
"Hehehe. So you still didn't tell him, what an amazing teacher you are."
"D-What are you talking about!"
Confusion and fear were generated in his body, Haku wanted to go and attack Orochimaru, but Kiri was more important.
"His body..."
"His body?... What do you mean!"
"Have you ever wondered why he has a white lock in his hair?"
Haku clearly observed the strand that was with a few drops of blood.
"Yes, I thought it was natural in him"
The Sannin laughed but with pain from the wounds he had on his body.
"Natural?, No, that disease is consuming him at a slow and painful rate"
Fear.
A great fear flooded Haku's heart and body, it was not true, that snake was lying.
"Don't believe me, well, presumably, I didn't want to tell you for fear that you would refuse the mission to assassinate me"
"Shut up!"
"That disease gradually consumes your vitality, first it's your senses, then it's your body's mobility, and finally your youth."
Tears ran down Haku's eyes, why had Kiri hidden this from him?, Did he already have this disease when they were both children?, Why...?.
"I propose a deal, I have the cure for the disease, serve me and promise to save Kiri"
A look of hatred and repuno came out directed from Haku's face, he wanted to kill that snake just now.
"How can I trust you..."
"¡Hahahaha! Do you really think I would let someone like Kiri die like that? When my lair was discovered by those ninjas of Kirigakure, I swore that I would get Kiri back, when I arrived where my old base was no longer there, I found out shortly after that he was sheltering in Konoha and carrying someone of his own blood, I was too excited to see that he would now have two subjects of experiments... Then I discovered his disease, I spent every day trying to find a cure, so many failures but in the end I had succeeded."
With every word the Sannin said, Haku became more and more disgusted, and his bloodlust increased, but, if that Sannin told the truth of having the cure for Kiri, there was no choice but to accept the deal, Kiri was his most beloved person and without him his life is meaningless.
"... Do you say that if I become your henchman you will give me the cure?"
"Right, but you'll have to complete some missions for me first if you want to win your paycheck... Help me catch Uchiha Sasuke and we will have the deal."
The Sannin barely got up from the ground and retreated. His body was injured, and it was better to recover before going to attack again, but he gained benefits from this battle, he had a healthy member of the Yuki clan, and he was powerful.
