Asami nced sidewards in search of her new Suna friends. Yet they were nowhere to be found. The invasion had begun and they had left. They didn’t even say goodbye, despite their time spent together. How impolite.
But at least, she could finally discard thevelvet gloves. No constraints, no limitations, no rulesbound her. The Uchiha in her approved.
Asami set her eyes on her newest prey,the three infamous sand siblings and their sensei.They gathered down in the arena, a jinchuuriki directly within her reach.Unfortunately, eliminating Gaara was a trickyaffair. She had never dealt with a bijuu before. History called them the bringers of death and destruction, creatures driven by madness and insanity.
The bijuu was sealed inside him, and the seal held firm despite Gaara''s dubious mental stability. Eliminating him would break the seal and probbaly unleash the bijuu in full force. AN oue that should be better avoided. She didn''t want a rampaging Biju in the middle of Konoha. She didn''t need a disastrous repetition of the Kyubi incident. Thus, it was wiser to keep him alive. As long as Gaara lived, the One Tail was under control.
“Gaara, the n...” His sensei tried to reachGaara, but hedidn’t show anyreaction.The boy remained unconscious.His wounds were far more serious thanexpected.
Temari grabbed Gaara by his shoulder. “He is still suffering from the side effects of the transformation. He can''t fight in this state.”
Their sensei gritted his teeth.“Fool, he transformedbefore the signal.”
Kankuro sweated. “What are we supposed to do without Gaara?He is the central piece of theentire operation.”
Their senseiclicked his tongue. “Abort the mission. Take Gaara and retreat...”
Asami acted first. Her ingrained instincts made her body move. As usual, her judgement wasexcellent.The attacking Oto-ninwereslow, painfully slow. Theypaid dearly for theirimpudence.
Her hand grabbed an attacker and bashed his head against the iron railing. Not once, not twice, but thrice,until a familiar cracking resounded. His cranium splintered.
Asamidrew her swordand counterattacked. Her friend wasn’t her only visitor.
A second Oto-nin attacked from behind, and her reaction was prompt. Her de struck his chest, nailing her victim to the nearest wall.
The man was still breathing, much to Asami''s disappointment. Her skills had deteriorated ... How disappointing.
Heated sma coated her de,endinghis life. The sweet scent of burned flesh permeatedthe air.The smell of victory.
Sensing her distraction, hisradesresorted to a feebleattempt on her life. Their ns failed. Too little, toote.
Asamivanished and thetwo Oto-nin hitnothing butempty air.
Her body reappeared above themto bring downher steel. Nobodyescapedher iron judgement. Their end was sealed the moment they had crossed herpath.Her sword pierced them, pinningtheir bodies to the ground. Herfull weight drove her de through their shoulder until their cries ceased to bother her.The attack ended,and nobody else dared to challenge herdominance.
“Tsk ...” Asami dusted off her kimonoand rearranged her cor. The Oto-ninruining her attire for no reason. Suchevil.
Her senses searched for the bijuu, but Gaara was nowhere to be found. The same was true for Temari, Kamkuro, and Sasuke.They had disappeared. They had thus officially stopped being her problem. They didn''t fall under her area ofpetence any more.Because she had others things to do. She had a vige to defend.
“...” Asami disappeared. Fumihiko required herassistance.
...
...
...
Shino adjusted his dark ssesafter what had witnessed.He was used to being ignored, to being overlooked.He lived in the shadows, and sometimes it hurt, but such didn’t matter.
Heremembered Asami. He remembered the little princess, but this degree of violence surprised even him.No hesitation, no remorse, no doubt, no mercy. The Oto-nin were massacred. Their bodies stained the floor vivid iron red.The redkeexpanded. More blood was demanded.
