Little Misfits

Chapter Four: Siblings

Akumi POV______
I hissed as I dodged. Taking in a deep breath I concentrated my chakra.

"Heavenly chakra chains no jutsu." I gasp out ignoring the slight pain from where the chakra erupted from my body to form six long gold like chains.

Kakashi sensei was in a water prison jutsu and my job was to distract Zabuza and destroy the water clone blocking our way.

One of my chains instantly went through Zabuza' s clone destroying it while Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura launched their attack.

"Evil windmill shadow shuriken!" Sasuke yelled from behind me and I noticed the giant shuriken speeding towards Zabuza whilst two kunai's with exploding tags dashed to either side of him to prevent him from dodging.

I didn't bother to glance back as I watched their planned attack.

I saw that the giant shuriken had a second one hidden underneath and I couldn't help but smile. But after Zabuza jumped over the shuriken and it turned into Naruto I couldn't help but become tense at the sight of my brother so close to zabuza.

Naruto flicked a kunai directly at Zabuza's hand forcing him to let go.

My blood ran cold the second I saw Zabuza attack Naruto. My feet moved on their own and I ran to him to try and block the attack.

Everything went in slow motion but my body didn't move fast enough.

I kept staring straight at Naruto as I ran toward him a horrid feeling filled my chest as I knew I wasn't going to be fast enough.

Just as Zabuza's blade came down a tall bulky figure stopped it. I could feel tears of joy swell in my eyes. Kakashi sensei had blocked the attack.

Naruto moved quickly as he swam away from the two high class shinobi.

My nerves felt on edge but seeing Naruto get further and further from the two battling ninja gave me a sense of relief.

Flashback

It hadn't always been like this, at least that's what the big kids always said.

The orphanage had a maximum age limit, at twelve kids would become ninja or given an allowance till they got through civilian school and a job but both were given an apartment to help them out. That was still something that occured what had changed was the orphanage itself.

Greenleaf Orphanage a large complex with a good portion of land and placed off to the side of the village. It had a large amount of space so that kids could have room to run and academy students a place to practice. The building was a light brown and wasn't worn down at all, it was well maintained with flower patches and small gardens that some children would tend to for hobbies.

Overall the place had an appealing feel to it but it was quiet, in the open fields and playground a place that had once thrived with laughing children playing were deadly silent.

The flower beds remained maintained but there weren't little girls plucking the small flowers to play with or gift them to the head mistress anymore.

It had all happened after the attack. Many children were orphaned and due to the damage caused by the fox, most of them were placed in the orphanage along with their younger siblings.
