Konoha, Training Ground 78.
Immediately Tsunade ducked as taking a few strands of her blonde hair, a kunai drilled into the ground before her.
HA!!!!
Tsunade's heart beat rapidly as she took in rapid breaths and her back completely soaked with sweat, her eyes with fear in them locked on to the kunai before her. She had never come this close to death, the feeling really unpleasant and scary.
Swish! Swish!
Cling!! Cling!
Just as Tsunade lay sat there in shock, a few more kunai's from behind a big boulder shot towards her again but before they could really approach her, a few shurikens blocking their advance and hitting them accurately to stop them.
"Don't just sit there and fight!" Orochimaru's tense voice pulled Tsunade out of the shock, hurriedly rolling away and standing up.
"Who's there!!? Show yourself!" The three gathered as Jiraiya looking at the big boulder at some distance yelled, his hand holding a kunai, Orochimaru and Tsunade looking at the boulder with tense eyes also.
"Hehehe…why force me out when you could have died a much less terrible death!" A creepy laugh followed by even more creepy words sounded, changing the expression of Tsunade and co, with the sound of footsteps a figure walking out from behind the boulder.
It was a tall man almost completely covered with a blue cloak, the only thing visible were his lips, eyes and a forehead protector with a symbol that the three recognized immediately.
"Kiri Shinobi?" Said Jiraiya in a shocked voice, the eyes of other two locked on the forehead protector as well.
Crack!!
"Hehehe you guessed right but unfortunately there is no reward…only death." Said the Kiri Shinobi as chakra burst out of his body, the ground under him showing cracks, the expression of three turning more and more ugly.
"But don't you worry little girl as I won't kill you. I need your alive, Hehehe the granddaughter of first hokage, this is what I call winning a jackpot."
Said the Kiri Shinobi, as he began to slowly walk towards the three, every step increasing the feeling oppression on the three.
"He's definitely as strong as a jonin; we definitely can't win head on- let's look for an opportunity to escape." Said Orochimaru while gritting his teeth, sweating rolling down his pale skin, Jiraiya and Tsunade taking a deep breath and looking at each giving a nod.
Wind Style! Wind Wave!!
Finally, Orochimaru took the intiative to attack, flashing quick hand signs and sucking in a deep breath, from his mouth massive pressure jutting out and rushing towards the approaching kiri shinobi.
The moment Orochimaru attacked, Tsunade and Jiraiya tactically dispersed and rushed towards the enemy from both sides.
Orochimaru saw the enemy lightly tapping the ground to jump very high, avoiding his attack effortlessly but Tsunade and Jiraiya taking advantage of this moment jumping also and appearing to his right and left in the air.
"Rot in hell you bastard!!!" Yelled Tsunade as she smashed her fist coated with visible blue chakra towards the enemy, Jiraiya on the left also kicking towards the enemies' neck.
But the enemy in the air calmly extended his hands out of the cloak, one reaching towards the punch in front and one towards the leg approaching his neck.
BOOM!!!
Tsunade seeing the enemy daring to take her punch with bare hands showed a winners smile but that didn't last long, the moment her punch hit the enemies palm, the force in it dissolving like it had soft cotton absorbing everything, jiraiya's leg grabbed from the ankle mere inches from the neck also.
Tsunade and Jiraiya tried to pull their arm and leg back respectively but not moving an inch in the grip of the enemy, who midair holding them like rag dolls throwing down casually.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
Both Tsunade and Jiraiya fell down from the sky like meteors falling from the sky, crashing into the ground which cracked immediately, dust rising up. Two pits appeared on the ground in which lay Jiraiya and Tsunade, blood pouring out of their mouths, eyes groggy and barely conscious.
