Naruto: Legacy Undone

The smaller gennin swallowed nervously looking around at the five Haku's that glared down at him and daring a peak at the Kumo team that were struggling to walk in a straight line right now. "I'm..." He gasped. "Gonna need a second." He said nervously to the bigger boy.

The big one just glared at the ice mirrors. "Nah, I don't think we'll be doing that. Way I see it you're almost out of chakra Kiri! This thing can't be cheap and you were holding more of these things over the heads of the Kumo idiots over there so you're almost out of juice.

Haku frowned. Was her exhaustion that obvious?

She gripped her senbon. In that ca-

The thin boy stood ramrod straight and let out a piercing shriek.

She had to clutch at her ears even within the protection of the mirrors as her senses were assaulted, her concentration coming apart at the seams.

The mirrors began to melt and the big Gennin rushed straight towards one with a heaving hammer fist.

The mirror cracked but held. But just the fact that it could crack under the weight of a bare fist showed just how weak she was right now.

She looked up, ears and nose leaking blood as she forced herself to focus.

A mirror shifted and she jumped!

On the way her foot smashed into the screeching gennin's face.

She was sure that the burning pain she felt lancing up her ankle wasn't normal.

The impact threw her off course, her mirror coming apart she was forced to hit the ground.

When she rolled to a stop, finding her limb twisted at the sheer speed she'd been flying at when it came in contact with the boys face and the searing pain that now made itself known, she came to the simple conclusion that it had been sprained...rather badly at that.

"What the hell was that!" Zabuza growled stalking forward to the edge of the platform. One second Haku had been preparing her attack, the next the whole thing had fallen to pieces with her flying out of one mirror to hit the ground.

"Don't get your titties in a bunch." Kisame drawled. "She's fine."

For the first time Orochimaru shifted his expression. Chuckling softly, he drew the eyes of Koutou, A and Mei. "Ahh the Otosori clan. And here I thought they were wiped out along with your would be Aburame Onoki-san. Keeping an ace in the hole eh?"

"What the hell are they and what did the kid do!" Zabuza hissed.

"They bend sound." Orochimaru answered simply. He'd encountered one member of this clan in the early days of the war. The ability had made him tinker with the idea of something that could do the same. A seal construct housed in a gauntlet perhaps. "We heard nothing. Your girl, and more likely than not, Naruto as well received a full, agonizing assault on their senses. The boy's use is...crude...from what I can tell but effective in terms of raw power."

Onoki sulked. After the death of, virtually the entire clan in the series of battles known as the Bloody Marshes near Ame where they'd fought Hanzo the Salamander, the fact that they still had a handful of surviving members was a fairly decently kept secret. One that they'd been planning to keep from their greatest enemy as long as possible. Now that was out of the question with Orochimaru so easily identifying the bloodline. No doubt Hiruzen would file this information under the 'important to remember' category rather than the 'oh that's nice' file.

Haku groaned struggling to limp to her feet, favoring one leg heavily she watched as the Iwa gennin moved to check on his friend.

A moment later, there was a hand on her arm, steadying her. She didn't turn her eyes away from the gennin. "Thank you Kimimaro-san."

"Not quite so pale." Kyofu muttered startling her. "Can you walk? Reserves?"

"Not really...and low." It shamed her to admit it at the older girl. A second later she was admonishing herself for revealing her limits to the potential enemy.

The girl nodded. "Get behind me. I'm still ok. If that hit of yours managed to sprain your ankle that bad you most likely gave the Iwa nin a concussion." She surmised.

Haku nodded, grateful even as she limped back from the fight.

The gennin saw them, growled, turning to look at the still prone Naruto before he rushed at the gennin.

Kyofu cursed, and moved to give chase.

The young man was barely two steps away from the blond when she shouted!

"Touch him and your friend is dead!"

The boy froze, looking over his shoulder to see Kyofu glaring, holding a kunai over the throat of the gennin Haku had disabled.

"You aint got the guts leaf!"

Kyofu's eyes narrowed, obsidian orbs glinting like flint knives. "Try me."

The gennin hesitated, conflicted for a moment before the decision was taken out of his hands.

Two bone spears sprouted out from the ground behind him, running him through at the hips with a gory spray of blood.

He howled bloody murder, and would have fallen if not for the same instruments that were causing such agony to be the ones holding him aloft.
