Regret

Chapter 2

So, I decided that I would continue. A lot of people wanted me to and I appreciate your feedback but because of my other stories, I don't have a lot of time so the updates might be slow. I actually have a small story line plotted out. Hope you enjoy!

The war in Konoha was waging on. The civilians were evacuated and the shinobi were fighting the enemy shinobi, though they were losing fast. After Oto and Iwa had declared war on them, other smaller villages joined in the battle, wanting to see the fall of Konoha. They've been practically abandoned by all their allies and the only support they got from the Fire Daimyo was a 'good luck' and even that didn't seem sincere. Right now, Tsunade was making her way to the battle field with Jiraiya alongside her. The Konoha 11 were already on the battlefield, but everyone was losing hope fast.

"Are you sure you can't get ahold of him? He's the only one who can help turn this war around." Tsunade said in frustration.

"I'm sorry hime, but we have to do what we can for now. Oroochimaru is at the front gate. I looked everywhere for the gaki, but after we parted ways a years ago, haven't heard of him since then." he said solemnly.

"Tsunade-sama! They've penetrated our defenses! The snake summons took down the front gate!" a shinobi alerted her before she could say anything. Both sanins looked at one another and nodded. Today was the day. The day they took down their teammate once and for all.

Arriving at the gates, they saw their former teammates excited grin. The destruction that was around them was far too great. Buildings were burning, stores completely destroyed, dead bodies of allies and enemies scattered this way and that, blood mixed together. It indeed looked like a war zone, one that would soon end.

"Ah! So my dear teammates decided to finally join us! This is splendid indeed. As you both can see, I've nearly completely destroyed this vile village. Its sad you think that you'll win. Can't you see that your deaths are inevitable?" he mocked.

"Oroochimaru, you've really fallen so low. To destroy your own home, don't you have any dignity?" Tsunade yelled.

"Weren't you the one who ran away from your own home, as you put it? Although I must thank Konoha."

"Thank us? For what?" Jiraiya asked, confused like the rest who were there.

"Why thank you for getting rid of Namikaze's brat. Ill admit that back in the Forest of Death, he did give me a battle I won't forget. If it wasn't for my years of experience, I wouldn't have escaped. You all did well in getting rid of him. He was a pain in my side." he hissed, shocking them all.

"H-He what...?" Kakashi stuttered, having just arrived.

"Oh? You weren't told? I suppose he's like his father, never one for fame or boasting of a defeat. That, or he just didn't trust you. Ku ku ku, your sensei would be disappointed in you." he laughed.

"It doesn't matter! As long as I'm Hokage, Konoha will not fall!" Tsunade exclaimed, charging at him, Jiraiya right after her. The other battles seemed to watch as they saw a once in a life time battle between sanins. One against two.

"I have a feeling they're destroying more of the village." Sasuke muttered, as they witnessed the destruction the three sanins were creating.

"Stop slacking. We've got enemy shinobi coming! Even the Tsuchikage isn't here yet." Asuma said, taking down a sound nin, and they resumed their fighting.

"I've got to say, I never thought I would have been pushed this far." Oroochimaru said, sweating and panting heavily. He thought that his old teammates were push overs, that they let there skills get rusty. That's what you would expect from a drunk gambler and a peeping tom, but it seems he was wrong.
