Confession 3/3

'Danzo!'I hiss in my head. Moving quickly, I do a waving motion with my hand summoning a small wave from the river water that goes towards the Root. Forgetting about them I quickly take Hinata in my arms and use the ground as wave that starts pushing me towards where my dad normally trains, hoping he was there. While going there I notice the Root catching up so I start to destroy the land under them in quakes, knocking them off balance and falling in holes in the ground that are waist high. After a while I finally arrived there and saw Guy and Lee training, though they notice my look of distress along with Hinata's and immediately become alert.

"Ryu, what happened?"Dad asked me.

"Later, but right now Danzo sent his men after us and we need to deal with them."I said urgently and noticed a look of confusion on his face but around a dozen people in Anbu uniform behind me.

"What's the meaning of this?"Dad asked in a loud voice.

"The Lord said leave no witnesses, kill them all except the targets."The seemingly leader said to which Dad got in a fighting position. Looking towards Lee I see him wanting to fight to. Putting my hand on his shoulder I say.

"Lee, you're a prodigy at Taijutsu but you've only had a year of training, you can't fight Anbu level ninja yet, take Hinata and run towards the Hokage's office. We will cover your back and get back with you later but escape with Hinata now, for me."I said to him and I noticed a look of hesitation on his face before he nods.

"Wait Ryu, I won't leave you here alone."Hinata said quickly.

"I'll be fine but you need to go with Lee, sorry about this ahead."I said and press a pressure point on her nape that knocks her out. Lee then takes her in his arms.

"Don't worry my friend, I won't fail you!"Lee said loudly with a thumbs up and starts running. Going back next to my father I take my fighting stance next to him.

"You know, for talking about Lee not being able to take Anbu level ninja, you won't fair much better against these guys on your own."Dad remarked.

"That's why we'll take them together."I said with a smirk.

"You know we've never actually practiced our teamwork, right?"Dad remarked again.

"Good thing we know each other like the back of our hands."I said back slyly before adopting a cold but pissed off expression on my face.

"Hope you guys ready for the beating you're about to catch, since you've done pissed me off by interrupting my moment with Hinata, and for that you'll pay."I said in a voice that promised pain.

Opening to the fourth gate with my dad to the fifth we disappeared leaving an after-image, and the next second me and my Dad were weaving between the different ninja. Opening to the fourth gate allowed me to be around the same speed as the Anbu while my dad was a level faster. While my Dad faced them head on I used my small frame to my advantage and Chi block the legs of the ones who were distracted by my Dad slowing them down or immobilizing them completely, while I opened holes and cracks under some of the others making them lose balance and fall making them easy targets along with pushing them off balance with strong winds from air bending.

The fight only lasted around 5-10 minutes but it was tiring, especially since right now my limit for the gates is to the fifth and even then I can only hold it for a few minutes. Quickly I used Earth bending to make them look like mummy's but out of rock and the only open part was the mouth and nose, and to top it off I put them in a coffin only I can open with an open slit where their eyes are supposed to be.

Leaving them with Dad I run towards where Lee went but I come upon him in a fight but on the losing side of it. Quickly running behind the Root-nin I hit his back point blank with multiple fire punches and I have yet to turn off the gates so they were that much stronger, getting sent forward by my flurry of punches and in his back there's a obvious scorch black burn mark. Appearing above the nin I kick him down towards the ground creating a small crater under him, quickly I hit the same pressure point as I did Hinata knocking him out. Looking towards Hinata I see her laying on the ground but then there's a rustling in a tree and I see a Kunai going towards Hinata, widening my eyes in surprise, I run and catch the Kunai before it can hit her, but the nin took this chance and threw a Kunai in my back, going all the way to my lung, flooding it with blood causing me to cough up that same blood.

Thinking this is where I die, I suddenly feel an influx of power and experiences, but I feel my body isn't my own either, as if on instinct I get up despite my body screaming at me to not move. I quickly send multiple air slashes at the Root nin which surprises him seeing me get up, the air slashes connect which cuts open multiple wounds on his body, using blood bending I pull a liter or two from his body knocking him unconscious from blood loss, seeing this I collapse on my ass. I grab the Kunai from my back and pull water from a small gourd I always carry to heal myself, normally healing from water bending can't heal internal injuries or fatal ones but luckily I feel my power increased so it's able to heal it, after healing myself I quickly use blood bending and take the blood out my lungs. Now that I wasn't in mortal danger I feel the power and experiences disappear, along with it my new found strength that kept me awake and saved me which in resulted in me passing out.
