Recap:
They finally find tsunade unaware of tsunade and Orochimarus deal.

"Sacrificing yourself knowing you won't be able to hear the thanks in return is a tragic act in itself."

"You have evil looking eyes, as usual." Giving Jiraiya a side glance at his remark, I lazily eye the situation. Shizune had told us about the deal Tsunade and Pedomaru had made on the way here. Apparently, Orochimaru had offered Tsunade the return of her lover and brother in exchange for healing his arms. Fortunately, Seeing the many craters around us, she must have refused.

"Whaa, Kabuto-San!?"

"I see you 2 know eachother?" Jiraiya looks toward me and Narutos direction in curiosity.
Still keeping my lazy look, I eye the silver haired medic nin cautiously.

"We took the Chunin exams with him, seems that weird feeling I got around him before wasn't for nothing."

Sensing movement from behind us, I side step Jiraiyas face planting body as Tsunade shoves past him attacking Kabuto once more.
Having him cornered against a boulder she goes to punch him but what happens next baffles the hell out of us.

Kabuto had stabbed himself drawing blood, but that wasn't what baffled me. What baffled me was how Tsunade stood paralyzed in fear; she was afraid of blood.

Punching tsunade away into Shizune, me and Naruto stood dumbfounded. No offense but how are you the number one medic in all the 5 nations but you're afraid of blood. The sense that makes is none. I mean if she weren't a medic that'd be understandable but like...for fucks sake.

"Hey hey what's going on?? Why is Kabuto-San fighting old lady Tsunade?" Taking a step in front of Naruto, I summon my katana. All signs of laziness gone, I pass a stern look over my shoulder.

"Naruto, I know you don't wanna accept it but Kabuto is our enemy and he's been our enemy from the beginning."

"You're real slow in noticing things Naruto-kun."

" Cant deny him on that." I mutter, silently agreeing with Kabuto statement.

"That is why you can't compete with Sasuke-kun." Kabuto says with a smirk.

"It's as Tenshi said Naruto, look at his headband. He's Orochimaru subordinate." I hear Jiraiya tell Naruto.

Hoping my blonde teammate finally understood, I grow annoyed seeing that indenial look on his face.

"What are you talking about? Tell me you're lying, Kabuto-San? I mean you helped us out during the exams!"

Cutting Kabuto off before he could answer, I turn my body fully around giving Naruto a serious look. He needed to learn these things now.

"Naruto, he's a double agent. A traitor. I know you're naive but you need to understand this now, that not everyone that smiles at you is your friend. " I snap.

"Naruto-kun, I gathered something after I gathered data on you."
I clench my teeth in annoyance in response to Kabuto's voice.

" You have no talent as a ninja."

"Urusei!" I spin around and pitch my katana with accuracy towards the silver haired bastard. He's crossing thin lines now. Naruto wasn't exactly a prodigy but he had a good heart and was stronger than everyone gave him credit for. I wasn't gonna let some outside bash my friend without consequence.
