Soaked with blood
The battle of Tenchi Bridge started with a full swing, the Iwagakure forces, paid a massive price for their push. Their way was littered with seals, they exploded, cut down, burned, and/or poisoned everyone that came too close. A small army of 270 units was mutilated, as casualties started reaching fifty, their commander ordered a stop, for the last push towards the bridge, they were to watch their steps and move carefully.
That gave Kaname and her friends an additional ten minutes before the final clash. Just a moment before the first enemy jumped out into the open field, Kaname acted. With a mad dash towards the closest enemy, she impaled him with katana right into the heart, instantly ending his life.
From nearby, Kaname was jumped upon by two other enemies, before they got close, they froze, their entire bodies were tied up with black shadow, Yugao surged in ending their lives.
With each enemy they killed, two more showed up. Kaname stood between Yugao and Takeshi at a distance of ten steps, the span between her and her friends was quickly getting flooded with enemies, soon she lost sight of her friends. Kaname didn't stop fighting, she danced between one enemy and the other, dodging slashes and projectiles. She burned, put under genjutsu, or cut down anyone that came too close to her.
"*Argh*!" Kaname got slashed deeply in her back, she put her enemy under genjutsu, and using the
'Makeshift job, but it will hold, here they come again...' she thought, sliding beneath a rock bullet heading her way. A slash to her hand came next, Kaname pirouetted dodging the strike, at the same time, that she was rotating herself, she used her sword trying to amputate enemy's leg, her attack was repelled by a rock pillar growing out of the earth.
'Shit! Most of them are Earth users, let's try his trick.' Kaname's sword edge started heating up. Jumping over her assailant's kick, Kaname slashed, again rock pillar rose to the defense, her sword was slowed down, but this time it went through the boulder beheading her enemy.
Soon Kaname was surrounded by five enemies, 'Okay, that's too much.' She threw ten slips of papers above her head and exchanged her position with another clone of hers. Her enemies attacked the clone, rushing at it from five different sides at the same time. Kaname got confirmation when her clone got dispelled, she activated her exploding seals that were left behind.
"This is their seal master! I saw her activating the last explosion! The commander ordered us to bring her to him!" shouted out the Iwa jōnin.
Kaname was attacked by three chūnins, she dodged crouching under their attacks. Unluckily, she didn't see jōnin using a jutsu from behind her, she heard the sound of breaking bones, then she felt a sharp pain coming from her thighs.
"Her legs are broken, take her to the commander!" enemy jōnin directed the chūnins.
Instead of approaching Kaname, the trio of ninjas attacked the jōnin.
'Fuck! It hurts! Good those idiots looked me in the eyes.' As the enemy fought against each other, she hid and started mending her bones.
Kaname used a
Two minutes later, Kaname stood up staggering on her feet, only to feel a kunai pressed at her heart.
"I don't know what you are, no one stands up so fast after having their thigh bones broken. Stop resisting!" said a tired enemy jōnin, holding her neck from the back.
'Mother fucker! No rest for the wicked... This is going to hurt…' Kaname had an insane idea.
"I'm sorry mister, I'm just an iryōnin. But I have got one more trick upon my sleeve. You shouldn't come so close to a medic, do you know why? We know where to hit a human body to inflict the greatest or minimal damage." Kaname took her katana in a reverse grip and aimed it back at herself.
"W-what are you doing?!" shouted out a jōnin.
Kaname shoots her sword into her belly right between the liver and her heart, aiming it a little higher on the exit. Her katana went out of her back, missing all of her vital organs and bones aiming right at the enemy's heart.
[AN: Is this even possible in a medical sense? I know there is some space there, but it should be barely enough :-)]
"*Guh*" the jōnin got impaled, "You're a fucking monster." those were his last words. His body slid down Kaname's sword.
'Fuck… I need to heal myself.' Kaname thought, carefully taking her sword out of her body.
Throughout the silent battlefield, someone shouted out, "The black-haired Konoha's kunoichi give up! We have got your friends! If you don't show up in a minute, we will butcher them all!"
'*Sigh* I'm almost out of chakra, I need to stall for time, reinforcements should be on their way…' Kaname easily closed her own clean cuts. But her legs were barely responding to her brain. She slowly started to stagger her way to the origin of the voice.
---------------
Yugao saw something she would never forget, when all hope was lost, her being tied up by thick ropes and having a kunai placed on her neck, her youngest friend, eleven years old black-haired girl came to her rescue. Without a word, enemies backed away from the girl, creating a passage for Kaname to walk towards her. Kaname's body was soaked with the blood of her enemies and her own, Yugao discerned three black tomoes on her bright red eyes. In the young swordswoman's eyes, she looked like a goddess of war. She walked inside the enemy camp slowly, without an ounce of fear. Her enemies confirmed Yugao's ideas, she heard many whispers of her enemies talking about a "Blood Demon", "Princess of Terror" or "The Zombie of Konoha."
'Okay, Kaname, you showed up, walk slowly, but confidently, you don't want your enemies to think you are weak. What now?' Kaname thought.
The corridor her enemies created for her brought her right to their commander and her bound friends. The enemy jōnin was close to forty years old, with a bald and scarred head, his face had a small smirk. He was the highest and had the most muscular body in this crowd, around his back flew around tens of small dark-orange bees.
"Welcome young ninja, thank you for showing up yourself," said the Kamizuru clan member.
"Yeah, whatever, you will kill us all either way," Kaname replied.
"Aniki! Let me get her, I love to show kunoichi how a real man looks like. I love to see the fear in their eyes just before I plow through them!" shouted out one ninja looking at Kaname's eyes.
"Anyone else wants to show ME how a real man looks like?!" Kaname yelled out, putting the rapist under genjutsu. Before any of his friends, reacted he took out a kunai and slashed himself on his crotch and bit through his tongue.
"So much confidence… this face… Do I know you, girl?" said the enemy leader, not even minding another victim.
"Nah, I don't remember anyone as heinous as you," Kaname replied with an Uchiha™ smirk.
"Kid, how are you related to Uchiha Asato?"
"What? How do you know that name?!" Kaname's had hope that her father is still somewhere out there.
"Heh, I'm the one who ended his life. What? Are you his daughter? How the time flies… Hahaha"
"Fuck you... Maybe I don't have any chakra left, but I have a question for you. Have you noticed, that you have three additional new ninjas in your riffraff?" a loud explosion was heard south of them, it killed ten closeby Iwagakure ninjas.
"Okay, my mistake two additional clones of my, of course, under
Her smile ventured to her eyes.
The enemy commander guessed right, he tried to jump away, but the explosion right behind his back caught up with him. It sent him plummeting through his subordinates, after ramming tens of them and killing one unlucky ninja, he slowly stood up.
"Damn, I forgot. This tenacity is oddly familiar. Pity for you, my bees took the brunt of the explosion. I believe it's only right for you to die the same way your old man did. Hehehe, from now on, I think I should change my nickname to Uchiha Squasher.
"Nooo!" both Takeshi and Yugao screamed, while two earthen walls rushed at Kaname's prone body.
"Sorry," she said, seeing her friends scared faces. But before she got killed, she heard a dull *thump* of a small three-pronged kunai near her feet. With a double flash of yellow light, she found herself in a hug from Maki. A second later, her friends and jōnin commander were safe but still bound by ropes near her.
"Eh? Maki-chan? What the fuck happened?" she asked her crying friend.
"Don't worry, Kana-chan, I will take care of everything. Good job not letting them get through the bridge." Minato walked towards the hugging girls.
"Thanks? Are you sure you don't need help? There is a lot of them out there."
"Don't worry. I need to go, I will be right back." Minato replied confidently, waving his hand, and left with another flash of yellow light.
"Okay Maki, stop it, I'm alright, just a little tired. Mostly it's not even my own blood" she lied to her friend looking for any wounds on her body.
"Just let me out of these ropes, Maki, and I will show Kaname what I think about her stupid heroics!" Yugao said.
"Hahaha, let's wait with letting Yugao-chan free," Kaname commented, laughing out.
Ten minutes later, Minato came back, his body had traces of splattered blood of his enemies.
"Where is Kana-chan?" he asked.
"*Sigh* She is taking a long bath in a closeby river, she is rinsing the blood out of her body, at least that is what she said," Yugao replied.
"Yeah, and why do I feel her chakra being used from there?" Minato countered.
"*Sigh* that's why I know she is lying about taking a bath, I gave her a soldier pill…"
"Okay, Maki-chan, go there and check what the heck she is doing."
"Yes, sir!" Maki jumped into action.
Soon the silence was broken by a loud scream of Maki's voice, "What the fuck?!"
"Hehe, busted?" Kaname said.
"*Growl* Why did you cut your leg open?!" Maki shouted at her.
"*Sigh* Both my thigh bones were broken, I mended them in a makeshift way, now I'm repairing my shoddy job."
"Okay, we will have to talk later about self-inflicting wounds ... Finish everything and come back. Minato-san is looking for you."
"Sure, give me three more minutes!"
--------
"Kana-chan, nice for you to join us. Are your legs okay now? Good. I caught and killed almost everyone that was left. You see the moving bag there? It's a gift for you for a well-done job." Minato said.
When Kaname opened the bag, she saw gagged and tied up enemy commander looking at her with fear in his eyes.
"Hahaha, thank you, Minato-san."
"Yeah, he talked something about Uchiha Zombie Bitch. Any ideas who he meant? Do you know each other?"
"Hmm, let's say we have little familial ties, he killed my father."
"Ouch, sorry. It's looking rather bleak for the guy. You can do anything you want with him. I don't care." he replied, measuring Kaname with his sight.
"Thank you," Kaname said. taking her enemy by his collar and dragging him away.
"You killed my father, you tried to kill my friends, nearly killed me. What should I do with you? Don't bother using any jutsu I put a small seal on your back prohibiting you from using chakra…" Kaname said after ungagging him.
"Kill me! I don't want to finish in Konoha's T&I department. As one ninja to the other, show some honor and do it swiftly, as I did for your father and almost did for you!" he shouted at her.
"Hmm."
"DO IT!"
"No, I'm not a monster that will kill defenseless opponents… I want you to remember. Every time you will catch an enemy think what is right, not what were your orders or what is easy. If I ever see you again as my enemy, I will butcher you! Get out of my sight!" Kaname cut the rope that tied his legs and left.
...
"I'm sorry, Minato-san, I just couldn't kill someone so helpless, it's not me..."
"Hahaha, you don't understand Kana-chan. It was a test, I was checking if the war created another heartless killing machine. In truth, I'm really impressed with you. I do not know many shinobi's with a heart as big as yours." he said, patting her head.
"You were testing me? *Sigh*... Thanks, how did it go up north?"
"*Sigh* I'm not sure, the last report I got was about a bloodbath and an insane amount of casualties. But they have got Orochimaru-san there, I'm pretty sure we will win."
"Damn, I think I need to go back to help the medics there, without me they run around like a headless chicken. Can you teleport me there?"
"No, I want you to rest. We will talk tomorrow, even if I teleport you, I'm putting a ban on you taking part in any combat, you did plenty for all us."
"Okay..." Kaname replied sadly, "Don't look at me like that Maki, I'm not going anywhere without you."
"*Hmph* Don't even try."
When Kaname hit her wooden cot, she instantly fell asleep. The next day she was woken up by Anko.
"Get up, you masochist! There is an important meeting you are being called for," she said.
"*Sigh* Please, give me an hour or eight more." Kaname pleaded.
"*Pft* Yeah, right, I left you some clean clothes. I will wait outside, don't make me come here again."
"Okay... Give me a moment to stir myself up."
They entered the command tent, in the middle of it they saw Orochimaru and Minato debating. Minato's look gave Kaname the warning that something went extremely wrong.
"Oh! Kana-chan, come in. I have two good news and two bad ones. Firstly you don't have to go to Kikyō Pass anymore, the battle is won. For the bad news, only a single boy and Orochimaru-san survived on our side, the shitstorm, of losing almost six hundred ninjas, will be massive."
"What about the enemy? Did their forces retreat?" Kaname asked.
"After lossing~ my entire army, I sstoped~ holding back Kana-chan. They losst~ almosst~ double that. The combat areass~ along the entire border are abating." Orochimaru hissed out.
"*Sigh* So many lives lost in a single day… Okay, what's the last good and bad news?"
"You made a name for yourself, we sent a report to Hokage-sama with a small recommendation from me, Orochimaru-san, and Jiraya-san. I would like to congratulate you on becoming a Tokubetsu Jōnin. As for the bad one… please sit down..."
Kaname saw Minato's face scrunching in sorrow.
"Yesterday, my student Kakashi brought my team to attack Kannabi Bridge. The report said it should be undefended, unfortunately, the report was wrong. When I went to save you, Kakashi and Obito fought against their opponents. *Sigh* I'm not sure how to say it…" Minato continued.
"Obito-kun died, his body was mangled by falling boulderss~" Orochimaru finished.
Kaname bolted out of the command shelter, heading towards the medic tent.
