Naruto: Tsunade's Apprentice

Chapter 8: Kage vs a Snake

As feathers began to fall around the arena, the Kazekage turned toward the Hokage. Out from his sleeve, the Kazekage pulled a large ball from his sleeve and threw it on the ground unleashing a large cloud of smoke that obscured the vision the occupants of the Kage box. Immediately, the Hokage stood to his feet as his guard was impaled by several long kunai that went through his flak jacket and pushed him to the back wall. "Hokage-sama … leave … now" the man rasped out as he fell to his knees, then the ground on his side.

Suddenly, the Kazekage wrapped his left arm around the Hokage's neck and held a kunai to his temple. The Kazekage dragged the Hokage to the roof of the Kage box. Suddenly four Anbu, Zo, Baku, Taka, and Inu, arrived on the scene. Baku, Taka, and Inu were in black full body cloaks and Zo is in a white full body cloak. The Kazekage's guards attempted to halt the Anbu but Zo cut them down with two kunai as he shouted, "YOU WILL NOT INTERFER!" The bisected bodies of the Kazekage's guards fell to the roof with a thud. As soon as the bodies hit the floor, four individuals came out of the cloaks.

The first that landed on the roof was a fair skin teen with straight, long dark blue hair that covered the left side of his face while leaving the right side exposed. He was wearing a dark green shade of lipstick as well as eye liner. He was wearing a black shirt with a low collar under a brown tunic, which had a front and back apron, that had long sleeves that were held down by two black vambraces. On the front apron was the taijitu that was fully grey, rather than its usual black and white, which represented the unit he led for his master, The Sound Four. His tunic was secure with a thick purple rope belt, with the ends aiming up. Secured within his rope belt was a large scroll, though what its purpose was, is an unknown. He was wearing a maroon red beaded necklace and skin tight black shorts that stopped above his knees. He was also wearing black, Konoha style shinobi sandals with calf-length leg warmers covered by bandages with a flare at the top reminiscent of loose cavalier boots. What made the teen really stand out was that he had a second head growing out of his neck that had an inverted hair style, meaning its left side was exposed.

There was a single woman amongst the group. She was fare skinned with a slender build though she was rather short. She has brown eyes accented by her long eyelashes which complemented her usual impassive expression. She has waist length dark pink hair with a bang that was chin length while falling over her face. Like her colleague, she too was wearing low collar black shirt under a brown tunic, that had a front and back apron, though she had short sleeves but she has the same black vambraces. On the front apron was the taijitu that was fully grey representing that she was a member of The Sound Four. Her tunic was also secured with a thick purple rope belt, with its ends aimed up wards. She was also wearing black, Konoha style shinobi sandals with calf-length leg warmers covered by bandages with a flare at the top reminiscent of loose cavalier boots as well as skintight, black knee length shorts. On her head was a black beanie with three small pipes that ran along the top of the hat while bandages were wrapped around it.

The next was a dark-skinned teen who has his shaggy, black hair tied into a high ponytail. He was slightly taller than the two headed teen. His most stand out feature was the six arms he has, each of which have a black vambrace of their own. He wore a sleeveless, low collar, black shirt under a sleeveless tunic that was grey rather than brown with a V neck cut in the collar. It still had the front and back aprons as well as the grey taijitu. His tunic was also secured by a thick, purple rope belt with the ends pointing up. He was also wearing skintight black shorts that stopped halfway down his upper leg as well as black, Konoha style shinobi sandals with calf-length leg warmers covered by bandages with a flare at the top reminiscent of loose cavalier boots.

The final person to land was a tall but portly teen with orange hair cut into three lines reminiscent of mohawks, one down the center and one on each side of his head. He has fair skin and narrow, slanted orange eyes. Unlike his colleagues, he wore no undershirt beneath his beige, sleeveless tunic that has the front and back aprons and the taijitu on the front apron. He wore loose fitting black pants that fell halfway down his shins, a necklace that was comprised of many, thin, metallic rods with a red bead separating each rod, and a set of black vambraces. He too was wearing black, Konoha style shinobi sandals with calf-length leg warmers covered by bandages with a flare at the top reminiscent of loose cavalier boots.
