Last time:

"Now what?" Naruto groaned.

"Ambush," Sasuke growled.

Now:

"Three people. Rain ninjas, like I thought. They seem to be either high-Genin level or low-Chunin. Nothing we can't take." Hanara informed them, "Sakura. You have good chakra control, right? If worst comes to worst, and I can't do it, take Idate and run him to safety. Only if I can't. I have a Water Affinity and you work better with Sasuke and Naruto."

"Right!" Sakura nodded.

"Sasuke and Naruto. Fend them off. From what I've seen, they suck at hand to hand combat. You guys are best at that." Hanara told them.

"Got it!" Naruto nodded.

"Hn."

Arrows started raining down on them and Hanara jumped in front of Idate.

"Rotation!"

Her technique made sure that Idate comes out unharmed. Once the arrows stop coming at them, Hanara whipped her fan out and enlarged it. The enemy's boat shot more arrows, but this time they had a rope attached.

Her eyes widened, "Naruto! Use a kunai and cut through those ropes! Sasuke, cover him!"

They both nodded and got to work. Naruto cut through them easily.

Naruto smirked as they sailed away, "That was a piece of cake!"

"Don't lower your guard," Hanara warned, "They've made some clones."

"Only the real one can attack us," Naruto scoffed.

"The real one's with them," Sasuke said.

"Just tell us where," Sakura commanded, holding up a kunai.

"You better stay close," Hanara told Idate.

"No way!" Idate growled, "Why would I want help from a Leaf ninja?"

"Because some Rain ninja are coming after you," Hanara growled.

'From what I read, Idate was helping some Leaf ninja defect to the Rain before he ran off. Maybe that will knock some sense into him?'

"Beggars can't be choosers, pal!" Naruto yelled, right before a clone attacked him.

"Naruto!" Sakura screamed.

"WIND SCYTHE JUTSU!" Hanara yelled, summoning a gust of wind to blow away an army of clones that came right at them.

It seemed like luck was on their side because after that all the clones disappeared.

'Looks like I blew the real one away.'

"Nice work," Sakura smiled.

Sadly, the Rain ninjas weren't done. It started raining a black liquid.

Sasuke immediately weaved a hand sign for a Fire-Style Jutsu no doubt. It was all he knew.

Hanara's eyes widened, "SHIT! IT'S OIL!"

There was a lit arrow that was coming at them, and on instinct, Hanara tried to blow it away with a wave of her fan. However, her wind only fanned the flames.

'I knew I should have learned Raging Waves!'

Hanara whipped her fan underneath her and flew to get a better view of the ship.

Tiger

"Water Style: Liquid Bullets!" Hanara called out, spitting water at the burning ship, hoping that it would be enough.
