"Enjoying the show?" I asked Kabuto while smirking. His mouth form into thin line from 'O'.

The gates were gone and Orochimaru's probably renewing his body by now. We can hear Naruto's growls from here. Yamato's clone recorded the fight earlier so I'll be asking him question about the gates later.

"Don't get cocky!" He was about to charge but stopped when we saw Naruto's body being thrown or should I say being pushed upwards with Orochimaru's disgusting sword from his mouth. Bro, I'm half amaze and half disgusted on the length of his neck. Just how far that shit can reach?

"I guess, we need to pause our battle, Yakushi Kabuto." I told him before teleporting near Yamato. Naruto's already on our side and Orochimaru already pulled out his sword. Naruto let out his painful growl and was about to move when this dumb Sakura tried to approach him, probably because she felt guilty from before.

"DUMBASS SAKURA!! STOP!!" I yelled but it's already late, Naruto's burning tails slammed on her arms which is awful. She just got burned. Orochimaru on the other hand was smirking on the other side. He's done changing his body, feeling fresh.

I'm gonna slap and punch them later, for now, I need to defend the team first. Sakura being unconscious is already bad. "Tenzo-niisan, seal him now. I'll handle this." I leave the sealing from him and face Kabuto.

"Gonna heal her? Good. We just killed Sasori so your enemies has lessen. Consider this as your payment." I told him. He just smirked when I figured out his move. His hands glowed because of his medical ninjutsu so I stand there to supervise him.

I'm no fool to let this shit do something about Sakura.

"I didn't expect you to be this good, Nara Kashina." He told me while still healing Sakura's wounds. Yamato on the other hand finally performed the Hokage Style sealing technique so Naruto's loud growl roared in front of everyone.

"Yeah, I'm awesome." I retorted. He stood up before meeting my glares.

"Let's see if you can match up with Sasuke." He uttered before teleporting away.

Well, I can say that I'm powerful than Sasuke. My reserves were higher than him even though he decided to use his Sharingan on me. My Taijutsu is superior than him as well as my Ninjutsu. I don't need a freaking hand seal and I'm faster on him. Maybe I could ask him to spar with me later?!

"What did he do to Sakura?" Yamato asked after sealing Kurama's chakra. "He healed her. A payment for killing Sasor, he said." I deadpanned.

Yamato's clone is already tailing the snake duo's. Sai... ah! Sai already left! "Sai already left, huh? Is your clone tracking him?" I asked. Is their introductions already happened?

"Yeah."

I slapped Sakura as soon as she regain her consciousness. She almost passed out and Yamato got panicked. I teleported beside Naruto before giving him a hard punch on his jaw.

"That's for acting earlier. I slapped you Sakura! For being reckless! For approaching Naruto like that! You know that he's already unconscious but what did you do?! You fucking tried to approach him like that?! Why? Are you finally fucking guilty? I told you before right? If Naruto became this reckless, it's your fault!! Fuck you! You almost got killed! Dumbass!!" I shouted on her and she looked down with her tears flowing down from her painful eyes.

"And you! Naruto! I've been telling you about this all the time!! ALL THE FUCKING TIME! You let your emotions take over again?! You almost killed Sakura!!! You just cause disaster!! If not by Captain Yamato, you'll revive the Nine Tails inside you. Take that punch dumbass and start reflecting! Don't you fucking dare to do this again..."

Maa, I'm sure this will happen again later. He'll let his emotion to take over him because Sasuke's feeding his hatred but Sasuke will be using his Sharingan to meet Kurama. And that's where I would link my chakra to Kurama! No, not actually directly to Kurama but to Naruto's seal.

"I'm mad because you guys are trying to throw your life away. If you really want to die, tell me. I'll kill you." I told them darkly.

"That's enough, Kashina. They're aware of their fault. No need to go that far." Yamato scolded me so I nodded. "If you guys were done, let's go. We need to follow Sai. He left with Orochimaru. We might or might not face Sasuke if we ever reach their hideout." And that boosted their morale. Wow, Sasuke's name is really a power button to them, isn't it?

"Kashina?" Yamato called.

"Danzo that fucking old man..." He cut me off by clearing his off. He didn't want me to disrespect that fucking old man. "Why? It's true! He's a fucker. He's just someone from the past. Lord Tobirama should've taken care of him instead of making him one of the council!" I complained.

Yamato massages his temples before sighing. "I get it okay? We're all feeling the same but you should understand that he's the ROOT ANBU's director." Tsk. Not that I care.

"Setting that aside, Danzo probably ordered Sai to dispose Sasuke." I said seriously and that made Sakura and Naruto to gasped. Before Naruto could lash in front of me, I stole a second. "Sai's just following order from the village. Lady Tsunade didn't know about this so don't blame her. Sai doesn't have emotions. Consider him a robot." I said stoically.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

"Unlike you two, I observed him. He's using fake emotions to look and feel like a human but he's not. You can get mad at him for acting like a dog but you can't blame him for following orders." Yamato nodded at my statement. He was once Danzo's ANBU and he can relate to Sai.

"Sai is our fellow ninja that's why we're going to restrain him. Naruto... I'm not expecting you to take care of Sai but I want you to become civil towards him. Stop acting like a kid. He may become annoying and that'll annoy me too. But I'm aware that it isn't his intention. Its because he didn't know about emotions, he wouldn't care about other people's emotion either. Let's just extend our patience to him and guide him in our path. After all, he's one of our team." I said with a genuine smile.

Sai may be a total jerk but he'll become a good man because of Naruto and the other's influence to him. Maa, let's hope that he'll survive Sasuke's irritation later.

We're currently jumping branch by branch to immediately follow Yamato's wood clone. Sakura and Naruto's already fine and collected so we made our way to follow the snake duos. Yamato got notified that his clone finally found the den of Orochimaru. Naruto and Sakura brought Sai's back pack with them earlier. Yamato and I finally found the ANBU's information. It's the secret mission of Sai.

"Distance secured." I mumbled to them and they all nodded. We finally reached the end of the forest. I immediately widen my senses when we entered the desert. "Underground Hideout, Captain Yamato." I informed him and he nodded before checking the distance of his clone and Sai.

"Yeah, I felt my seed on Sai. It's dark and cold there..." He whispered.

"I see, there's a huge possibility of Sasuke being there. Prepare yourself, Tenzo-niisan. I have a feeling that Naruto will burst out." I laughed.

"AGAIN?!" Uh-oh, he caught Sakura and Naruto's attention. "Ah, don't worry about us. Continue." He waved his hands to them before looking back on me. "I can't perform the Hokage style again! I can only shot that once a day! Help me out!" Arara, he's frustrated. That's why Kakashi's always teasing him!

"Calm down, nii-san. I the lone descendant of the God will aid you! I got ya back, bro!" He just shook his head on me as if I said something horrible that disgust him so much! What an impudent!!

We stopped our track to meet Yamato's clone. He absorbs his clone back to regain his clone's memories.

"I see..." I heard him mumbled. "We'll now proceed our tracks. We're going to infiltrate Orochimaru's hideout. Listen kids, never engage on battle. Just wait for me or Kashina's signal. We don't know if there's another party inside but don't engage on a battle. If you'll manage, let's regroup."

"ROGER!" we said in unison.

"I'll check out the cells. Find Sasuke or Sai. Don't mind about me," I told them before teleporting away and didn't wait for their response. I wander around to check the hideout. In the show, only Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kabuto were here but I want to check the darkness of his hideout.

As expected, this hideout is connected to the town near the Land of Wind. There's a path not too far away from Sasuke's training ground. I've been wondering how Orochimaru manage to live this long with almost every villains in Naruto is Orochimaru's enemy also. He's living under the ground. He also build an underground route for him to travel land to land. What a sly bitch!

I casted. I brought out the paper bombs that I asked from Yamato and Sakura earlier. I'm going to blew this route so they couldn't use it anymore.

"Take care of that." I told my clone before disappearing.

I widen my senses to locate the team and they're still searching for Sasuke. I already pinpointed Sasuke's location but this isn't the right time yet to meet. Maybe later after he reunited with Sakura and Naruto. I'm going to prevent him from stabbing Yamato, that's my purpose of helping them out.

I'm thinking of sparring also - you can add this to my reasons. Hehe.

Few minutes have passed, my clone already blew the route away. My clone also sealed the pathway before poofing away. A loud bang from Naruto's location roared so I immediately teleported there and be greeted by Sasuke on the high ground.

I mentally smirked. This entrance is too flamboyant! He's shading himself to the sunlight so we couldn't see his face for a while until we adjusted our eyesight. This damn Uchiha brat! Too flashy!

I nodded on him to acknowledge his flashy existence. He sent his reply back using his glares so I smirked. He's acting tough in front of them. I examined his appearance now. I told you, I'm still taller than him but he became fit. He's showing off his abs, damn! Sakura, are you okay?!

His hair... I think it's no longer a duck butt. Well, I could finally say that he's Itachi's twin without stress lines on his face. Bless you Fugaku-sama. Bless you Mikoto-sama. Both of them are heavenly boddies.

"Is it you who have cause the explosion earlier?" Yamato asked. "Yup. Too flashy! Art is explosion!" I whispered on him only to be given a smack at the back on my head. "Cut the crap, we're in critical." He told me so I got a little serious.

The tension in the air was suffocating but I could care less about that. I'm used to this kind of tension.

Sai on the other hand, he's standing behind Yamato and is watching Naruto. He's probably wondering why the hell's Naruto's bond with Sasuke is difficult to understand?

"Arara~ If it isn't Uchiha Sasuke." I break their silence. Nothing will happen if they just stand there around and exchange glares with Sasuke. Naruto and Sakura looked at me with full curiosity. Why? Is it wrong to initiate to the Almighty Uchiha Sasuke? Am I really a peasant?!

"I see, you didn't change Kashina." Sasuke retorted but he's reaction didn't change. Still emotionless.

"Yeah, still abnormal." I retorted back. Bro, I was once a member of my university's debate team! I won't lose! "How about you? You look... hot." I teased. Yamato and Sakura's eyes widen with their mouth opened.

They're afraid of me, starting a fight with him.

"Good to see that you're doing fine. But... don't you dare lay a finger on my team... I'll kill you." And there I released my KI. The wind blows harshly because of the pressure. Sasuke tried to counter my KI but that wasn't enough. He's good in hiding and killing his emotion so he remained stoic even though my KI just overwhelmed him.

"I see, Sasuke... so, you've grown, huh?" I told him. I flashed my genuine smile that only he could see. I'm feeling proud that he's grown up now. He's stronger than Naruto and is faster than Yamato. I'm proud of you Sasuke!
