I could tell Gaara was getting restless for his fight. It kind of worried me when Sasuke's chakra had disappeared from the area for the second or third time. 'What are those bakas doing? I know he didn't pick up on Kakashi's annoying habit of being late because the Jounin was here like five minutes ago. I wonder if they're gonna make some dramatic entrance and not.'

'"They wouldn't disqualify him would they? After all this is the battle that everyone's been waiting for." I asked no one in particular. No one in particular answered me, although I thought I heard someone say, "hopefully not."
Just as the referee was about to postpone the match once again and/or disqualify Sasuke the wall adjacent from us blew up and low and behold the idiots appeared with their backs against each other and their arms crossed. "Better late then never I guess."
I surveyed the damage.
After eyeing the fragments for a couple minutes and seeing what pieces would go where and all that jazz, I put my idea into action. The stones glowed yellow and levitated before stacking back to there original places. "Your welcome bakas." I said when the two idiots thanked me for cleaning up their mess.

When the match began, Mr. Uchiha was fast to demonstrate that his speed had vastly increased. Even the sand guarding Gaara couldn't keep up with the new and improved Sasuke.
A lot of punches and kickes later Sasuke used Chidori. One of the jutsu(s) Kakashi taught me a couple years ago. It's a technique that forms lightning at the base of his hand using lighting based chakra.

Before Sasuke could hit Gaara with it and finish the match I took notice the soft-looking white feather floating down into the area. I pulsed my chakra as soon as the feather disappeared. Almost everyone in the arena was asleep. 'If I hadn't of noticed it sooner i'd probably be asleep too.' Ninja all clad in black dropped into the arena shortly the thought had sunk into my mind. Chaos erupted.

While shaking another leaf ninja awake I couldn't help but think out loud. "Only the sand ninja and sound ninja are fighting the leaf ninja, But last I checked Suna and Konoha were on good terms. Possibly with a load of bull known as influence from the sound. Where's their leader's head in all of this."

I sent a fist towards a sand ninja who was flying towards me. Three others joined him in a pile. From the corner of my eye I saw a deep red head exit threw a hole in the building. "Get up Shikamaru! This is no time for you to be lazy!" I yelled at the genius. He rose slowly and looked around. "Wake up team seven." I ordered, kneeing a sound ninja in the stomach and dropped to my knees to stab a kunai threw his head. Gai chose that moment to jumped over me. "Tell Kakashi to summon his pug Greenbean!" A quick nod and he was making his way over to Scarecrow. Without me saying anything, a pug and team seven were running after the tail'd beast. As I was trying to make my way over to Kakashi I had the sudden feeling that I was forgetting something. "Shit! Where's the professor!?"
An anbu tapped my shoulder and we fought back to back. "Both Leaders are M.I.A. at the moment." I sent a treadmill of lightning to the five enemy ninja's surrounding my side. "Good thing one of us is an okay sensory ninja." I rolled my eyes at the world sending another round of mother nature's yellow bolts to the enemies around me.

I easily spotted the oh-so familiar chakra signature of the old man, along with ten others. I turned towards the feeling and saw a purple box closing in ontop of one of our bigger buildings closer to the monument and put a couple of pieces together. "Found him. Watch your back man." The anbu nodded and made a clone.
I made up my mind and in a poof I was beside the Hokage to assist him.
Those two didn't seem to notice, which was good in a way. I took a step forward to attack but stopped because both men had immediately swiveled their heads in my direction. "Leave now Hiroto." His tone was harsh. I looked from the intruder to the purple shield doing a double take. "I'll try my best."
'I should break this barrier down so somebody else can come help him.'
The intruder laughed looking to where I stood. "After I kill him I'll come for you Hiroto~chan." The intruders voice sent a shiver down my spine, and not the good kind. "Prepare to die Professor." I took another double take glancing between the two. "Lets end this foolishness now Orochimaru." Said sensei proclaimed.

I sighed quietly. 'Four ninja outside holding the first barrier down, than there's two others guarding them. So if I disrupt the chain, the barrier should drop right? Only one way to find out.'

I glared at the sound ninja directly in front of me who was smirking at me. "Tensō no Jutsu."(1)

<sorta-kinda flashback begin>
Mabui taught me this technique when I went back to Kumogakure for a long term mission (I really just went to train my Kekkai-Genkei & lightning chakra) as the Hokage & me liked to call it. The technique was originally used to transport objects anywhere at the speed of light and it still is, but Kumo made an exception.
Although it's typically restricted to inanimate objects, the technique can be used on living organisms as well, including humans. The bodies usually get ripped to shreds since they can't handle the speed involved with the transfer.
As far as I know, only the Third Raikage can endure the technique unharmed and that's only because of his extreme durability. Another person I know with extreme durability could probably handle it too now that I think about it.
<sorta-kinda flashback end>

The ninja before me was engulfed in light and moved to the Forest of Death through a narrow beam.(The reminiscent of a bolt of lightning.)
With "One." ninja gone the barrier started to disappear. The two ninja that were guarding the barrier turned and ran to me. I quickly did the handsigns for the Chidori technique and pumped electric chakra to my palm. With precise movements I took off after them. I cut straight threw one, then as the other skidded to a stop I plunged my hand threw his heart. 'Three.' I powered down the Chidori as I ran and spread the electric current throughout my body. The other guards turned to look at me but before the could speak I power-jumped up and flipped, crushing the first one's face as I landed. "Four." I easily slipped into my pro-boxing stance. The electric chakra running through my body is used to speed up and add an extra power boost to my hits. Blood shot out of a broken nose as the other guard skidded to a stop behind his dead partner. "Five." She had dropped dead before her partner hit the ground because I had focused the electric chakra flowing throughout my body back to my hand and my hand went right threw chest, her heart was still pumping in the palm of my hand as I ripped my arm out of her body. "six." She and her heart fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
