Sasuke was yelling at sasuke for leaving Naruto on his own to fight a sannin, the uchiha only rolled his eyes which anger the pink ninja and she was going to punch him but they were grabbed by blur of flames
They were confused until look at who grabbed them and saw Naruto, Sakura was glad to see her teammate alive while on the other hand sasuke only glared at the blonde seeing no injuries nothing, rage boiled in the uchiha seeing not even a legendary ninja couldn't stop the uzumaki
Naruto: once at the tower we must tell the hokage about orochimaru
Sasuke: don't we need the earth scroll
The blonde only smiled as chakra fire arm took out said scroll, the uchiha didn't say anything but glared at the uzumaki as they arrived at tower, naruto open the scrolls and smoke started to come off them, he throw them at ground and soon got bigger then cleared to show the copy ninja smile eye
Kakashi: yo glad to see you all here and setting a new record of the fast team
Naruto: big brother we have bad news
Kakashi: hmm?
Sakura: we were attack by orochimaru!
Kakashi: WHAT!
Naruto: he was after sasuke
Kakash: *crap how did he get in? That damn monster must be after the sharingan* thank you little bro now rest I'm going to tell lord hokage

Hiruzen felt fear, a great fear but it wasn't the fact that his ex student came back and sneaked into village yet it was fear towards Naruto, a kid who was only 12 years old beat and drive off one of the best shinobi in history of the leaf, traitor or not
The boy's power seem limitless like no matter what was put in fort of him, he will come out the victor like the sun would always rise
Hiruzen wonder what would happen if the boy used the kyuubi's power and what type of des-
Hiruzen: What am I thinking! He has been nothing but loyal ninja to leaf but here I am thinking he wo— grrr
He put his hands on his face while thinking of the village and the best way to handle this situation, Hiruzen after hours of thinking got to decision which would be better for the village
Timeskip few days later
The sound of swords clashing were heard as sasuke jump back avoiding slash, he took a deep breath and rush forward before jumping up
Sasuke: *he took a deep breath before exhaling* flame breathing third form: Blazing Universe!
His eyes shot open as pain filled his body losing his grip on his sword, sasuke's attack miss as Sakura step to the side and seeing her change took a deep breath as water started to surround her sword
Sakura: water breathing first form: surface slash!
her strike connected with her teammate's sword making him drop it then pointed to his neck, she smiled as her breathing was heavy
Sakura: I-I won!
Naruto clap then gave her water bottles and tried to sasuke one but the uchiha put away his sword then walk away, his hair covered his activated sharingan which slowly started spinning
Sasuke thoughts: damn it damn it damn it DAMN IT! HOW DID SHE BEAT ME! WHY CAN SHE USE A BREATHING FORM BUT I CANT!
He slammed his fist into the wall while his rage grew before heading towards his room, once inside he look at weapon with anger as the patterned of flames cause nothing but hate to grow
Coving his fist in chakra sasuke slammed it on the blade causing it to shattered, he took multiple breaths as blood fall thanks to broken shards
Sasuke: who needs that damn bastard useless breathing forms! I will make my own and it will surprise his weak sun!
Meanwhile with naruto, he was very worried about sasuke as his hate started to be beyond the malice of the demon orochimaru, it saddened him but felt the arms of his other teammate
Sakura: hey Naruto don't worry I'm sure he will come around with time
Naruto returned the hugged before they left towards lunch room

Hayate: will kiba inuzuka and sakura haruno come down
Sakura was a bit nervous but claim down and want down as her sensei and teammate cheered for her victory, meanwhile kiba and Akamaru jumped down and the inuzuka had an arrogant smile
Kiba: looks like an easy win for us akamaru
Akamaru: *bark*
Sakura: you shouldn't underestimate me!
Hayate: the rules are simple until your opponent is unconscious or unable to fight you win, we will interfere if we see it as necessary
They both nodded before Hayate give the signal to fight which kiba rush towards Sakura and tried to end it in one hit which failed as the pink grabbed his arm
Kiba confused: wha——-
A strong punch in the gut sent kiba flying into a wall, this shock the inuzuka and some people knowing Sakura, kiba cough a little bit of spit before turning to his partner
Kiba: akamaru ready!
The ninja dog nodded and was going to jump on kiba's back if it wasn't for Sakura who slammed her foot into the face of kiba, not giving her opponent other chance she took a deep breath as chakra covered her fist
She rushed towards kiba as he stood up a bit confused, he couldn't even react when the fist connected with his face and saw nothing but darkness
Hayate: winner of the fist round Sakura haruno
The pink hair smiled as medic ninja pick up the unconscious kiba who was followed by a very worried dog
