Tsunade (2)

"Release her right now!" Charging towards Rei at full speed Shizune no longer underestimated him because of his age. Preparing himself Rei watched as Shizune jumped into the air before slashing down from above. Raising Ryujin, Jakka Rei blocked it head-on causing sparks to fly before pushing back.

Shizune was sent flying through the air backward before landing only to see Rei immediately on the offensive. Dashing towards Shizune in a zig-zag pattern her eyes began trying to track Rei's movements. 'He's so fast.' As Rei continued to dash towards Shizune he began to mutter to himself. "Lord Of Thunder, God Of Storms enter my blade and reveal your presence. Allow your power to empower and destroy the ones who do not repent."

Appearing in front of Shizune, Rei raised Ryujin Jakka before striking down towards Shizune. "Hado #11: Tsuzuri Raiden" Just before Rei's blade clashed with Shizune's scalpel she noticed a yellow streak of electricity traveling up the blade's surface. 'Lightning Style? No, it's too late I can't dodge it!'

Wearing a face of worry the two's attacks clashed and immediately a strong current of electricity ran through Shizune's body. "Aaaaah!" Freezing up the electricity continued to invade her system until finally, she collapsed to her knees. 'I guess it's good that I practiced Kido up to #11.' It was while Rei was thinking to himself that a large shadow appeared directly above him.

Subconsciously raising Ryujin Jakka, Rei got the chance to see a glimpse of a fist before it made contact with the broad side of his blade. 'That's a lot of force.' Feeling himself being knocked back Rei's legs remained stiff as he slid back ten meters before finally stopping. "That sword is pretty sturdy. I put enough strength into that hit to break any normal blade."

Standing in front of Shizune Tsunade had managed to break free from Rei's Bakudo. "Shizune are you alright." Glancing at Shizune behind her Tsunade put her attention back on Rei when Shizune nodded. "Alright, kid you wanted my attention so badly now you have it." Jumping up into the air with her fist raised Tsunade came down directly where Rei was standing.

Backstepping Rei watched as the entire road he was previously standing on was reduced to rubble and it collapsed into a crater. 'Where did that much strength come from?' Thinking to himself Rei could only imagine what would happen if it had actually hit him. 'I need to avoid getting hit as much as possible...'

Not giving Rei time to rest Tsunade dashed over in front of him before raising her fist. Punching towards him Rei dodged just barely avoiding getting hit. Talking a step back Rei slashed at Tsunade in which she dodged taking a step back as well. 'I didn't come here to fight a war hero.'

Knowing he couldn't win conventionally Rei decided to try something different. However, before he could do anything he spotted an opening. To Tsunade's surprise, Rei's last attack actually landed causing a cut to appear on her arm. 'Oh no...' As blood began to leak from the wound Tsunade froze up as her breathing hastened.

Seeing this as an opening to knock her out Rei dashed at Tsunade who was distracted by the sight of her own blood. It was only as he was preparing to use the back of his sword that Shizune got in front of Tsunade. "Stop!" Stopping his swing midway, Ryujin Jakka just barely tapped Shizune's face before fully stopping.

"Please we don't want to fight you. Just tell me what you want." Breathing heavily after moving as fast as she did while injured, Rei looked at her and then Tsunade before pulling back. "I just want to know where Orochimaru is." Repeating himself Shizune looked back at Tsunade knowing she was in no position to talk.

"We don't know where Orochimaru is, trust me. Ever since my lady left the leaf we haven't made contact with any of the other Sannin." Hearing that Rei stared at Shizune for a moment seeing if she was really telling the truth. 'She can barely stand and if she's sticking to that so much in this situation it's probably true.'

However, as Rei was talking to Shizune he failed to notice the ninja in the shadows. Looking at the three of them from afar a ninja with a strange device attached to his head and back. Closing his eyes he began to relay something. 'This is Tracker 013. I have an urgent message to relay to Lord Orochimaru.'

Far from that ninja's current location deep within the Sound Village, his message was received. Starting a corpse lying on a stone slab a man with snake-like eyes had a smile on his face. Performing a numerous amount of hand signs he infused Chakra into his hands. "Now let the experiment begin."

Just as he was about to touch the corpse in front of him he was halted. "Lord Orochimaru forgive me for interrupting." Entering the secluded room a boy with grey hair and glasses looked towards Orochimaru. "Kabuto what is it that you have interrupted me during such a delicate experiment?" Retracting his arms, Orochimaru dispersed the Chakra around his hands.

"We have received a report from one of the ninja you sent to keep track of Tsunade." It was the mention of Tsunade that piqued Orochimaru's curiosity as his eyes narrowed. "Oh and what exactly is it that required a report to be sent directly to me." Getting Orochimaru's permission to continue, Kabuto began to relay the report to him.

"Is that true a boy managed to bring Tsunade to her knees?" Orochimaru knew Tsunade quite well, the fact that someone managed to actually do such a thing, especially a boy caught Orochimaru's interest. "Yes, though we know Tsunade has a phobia of blood being able to land an attack on one of the Legendary Sannin at such a young age is quite a feat. Not only that but he seems to have the unique ability to cast Jutsu without the need for hand signs."

As Kabuto continued to speak, Orochimaru's intrigue about Rei continued to grow. "How intriguing I have never heard of such an ability. It would be wonderful to experiment with such a fine specimen. If I could learn that ability to cast Jutsu without the need of hand signs dealing with that old man in the future will be that much easier."

Seeing Orochimaru going deep into thought, Kabuto proposed something. "My Lord we do have quite a few ninjas in that area collecting more children for you to experiment on. However, we can redirect them quite easily if you wish." Glancing over at Kabuto Orochimaru laughed to himself.

"Yes, bring him to me alive. If his body is suitable then I may take it for myself."
