'This... this changes everything!' Dosu's mind was in shambles as he stared at the raven-haired boy with the markings of Orochimaru's cursed seal spreading across his body. 'His chakra is incredible. There's no way we can compete with this kind of power.
"Ha! Your finally awake," Zaku said as he stepped towards Sasuke, a smirk on his features. "Now I can finally kill you!"
Dosu was the only one who knew what that seal was, having seen it on four others who were Orochimaru's elite guards. He knew that his teammate didn't stand a chance against Sasuke as he was now, and tried to stop his fellow Oto Ninja from attacking the Uchiha. "Zaku don't!"
However it was too late as Zaku held out his palms and shouted, "Zenkūhayokuha (Extreme Decapitating Air Waves)!"
The blast of slicing airwaves that emitted from Zaku's hand's were incredible. Everyone was forced to crouch down and cover their eyes as the immense pressure displaced the air around them, causing many of those in attendance to be nearly blown off their feet. When the jutsu finally ended, the many groups that had converged saw that the land in front of Zaku had been turned into a large trench several feet wide and nearly a foot deep. It stretched out for all the way to the tree that Sasuke and Naruto had been lying under, which looked like a giant had taken a bite out of it.
Naruto had been burried under the rubble, thus, no one saw his body as it was encased in a red haze.
"Ha... ha..."
Zaku was breathing heavily as he stood there, his feet spread shoulder width apart, slightly crouched, with his hands held out in front of him. However, despite his obvious state of exhaustion, he had a proud smirk on his face.
"Heh, look at that," he said with a huff, his tone somehow managing to retain it's arrogance despite his exhausted state. "Blew that little shit to pieces!"
"Not quite."
Zaku's eyes widened as he heard the voice behind him. He tried to turn around, but wasn't given the chance to do much of anything as he was pounded in the back of the head by a fist. Hard.
With a shout of pain and surprise, Zaku was sent flying. He soared through the air, right until his body hit the ground with a loud smack that rang across the clearing. His still conscious teammate yelled his name, but it was lost to the boy as he rolled across the ground like a ragdoll. His brutal tumble ended eventually, and Zaku managed to just push himself up onto his hands and knees. As he did so, his wide eyes strayed over to Sasuke, who was standing in the same spot he had hit Zaku from, Sakura standing just a few feet behind him.
"Such speed!" Dosu cried out in surprise. "He managed to get his teammate out of harms way in the blink of an eye!"
Everyone else seemed just as surprised as Dosu was. Well, Zaku was still quivering in shock and more then a little fear, but the members of teams ten and nine were staring at Sasuke in shock – even Neji had a surprised look in his eyes.
Sasuke smirked, it was the kind of look a cat had when playing with a mouse. His hands came up and soon ran through a quick gauntlet of seals, ending on the tiger seal, the seal for all fire jutsu.
"Katon: Hōsenka No Jutsu (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu)!" Sasuke sucked in a deep breath, then released it in quick bursts. Several flames erupted from his mouth and took the shape of fireballs. The volley of fiery destruction sped towards Zaku, who had finally managed to get back to his feet and regained his bravado, even if most of it was faked.
"I'm not gonna let you get the best of me!" The Oto genin stuck his hands out and released a powerful burst of airwaves that smacked against the fireballs, putting the flames out...
