Infiltration - 6

Ryuga came running with sword hand and the maid clashed with her sword in her right hand. They struggled to push their opponent's sword back, then suddenly the maid realised that the strength of her opponent increased and she started getting pushed back. Her feet were being dragged. She retreated and threw shuriken. Ryuga simply swung his sword to stop those. The maid suddenly appeared right in front of him and swung her sword with both of her hands from ground to the sky. Ryuga's left sword hand was in its path, He jumped in the air and rotated anti-clock wise, his body was horizontal to the ground and through rotating he has took his arm out of the sword's path. Now he stopped maid's sword with his and kicked her while in the air with both legs. The maid experienced amazing strength and was sent flying. She flew fast the cages Sasuke and Hayami were in and hit the wall in the back making an impression in it and getting stuck.

[Sasuke-inner-thought: Who the fuck was that?]

[Hayami-inner-thought: What is happening?]

Ryuga: Just give up, you have no chance.

Ryuga started walking towards the maid and passed by Hayami's cage and then stopped right in front of Sasuke's cage.

The maid got out of the wall and there was blood coming out of her nose and mouth.

Maid: Huff....Huff....If you think...I will give up this easily then you are wrong.

The maid took out kunais and sent them flying. Ryuga parried all then among the ones he parried there was one that had a paper bomb attached.

Boom

An explosion happend.

Maid: Huff....Huff....How was that?

When the smoke cleared there was a big snake surrounding Ryuga and protecting him.

Ryuga: Too bad. Anything else you want to try. Also, because of your explosion more shinobis are probably on their way.

Right on cue, many shinobis entered and stopped behind Ryuga. Their numbers were 8.

Ryuga: Too bad, its checkmate.

Maid: Huff....Huff....checkmate it is.

The maid did hand signs really fast and lightning started to sparkle in her left hand. Ryuga and every shinobi were standing on water that got here when the maid used her first water style. She was planning to electrocute them.

[Maid-inner-thought: With this, I can escape.]

As the maid was about to release the lightning a snake came out of ground swiftly and entangled her and her left hand that was about to shoot lightning.

Ryuga: You think I would let you do it.

The snake increased the strength with which it was constricting her arms and the lightning in her left arm went away.

Ryuga: You are caught.

Maid: Huff....Huff....You have forced me to use my last card.

Ryuga: OH! show me then.

[Water Style: Hiding in Water Technique]

In the 6'O clock direction of Ryuga and the shinobis, several meters behind them a maid jumped out of water as if she was hiding by becoming one with it.

[Sealing Jutsu: Water Orb Seal]

She weaved signs and landed, then she placed her hands on the ground that had water on it. The water under Ryuga and all the shinobi shined and sealing letters appeared on it and suddenly they were being dragged by the water that was gathering towards a singularity that was right above Ryuga.

Ryuga: A SEALING JUTSU?...

Even Ryuga could not go against the force and for a moment he could not feel his chakra.

[Ryuga-inner-thought: I can not feel the chakra in my body and as this water is passing us, it is draining more.]

[Real maid that came out of water]: This is my original sealing jutsu, I created it specifically to capture a person that became the reason for my clan's demise. While the sealing array is working you can not use your chakra and the water as it is passing you will drain it. Your chakra will be used to make the seal more tighter.

Because Ryuga could not feel his chakra and he lost concentration as he and all the shinobis were now stuck in a water orb really close to each other. The pressure of water was also increasing. The snake binding the maid's clone disappeared in smoke and the clone landed on the ground.

[Real maid]: Help me in increasing the pressure and turning them into paste.

[Maid clone]: yes.

The clone also weaved signs and put her hands on the ground and pouring her chakra in the sealing array. The pressure in the water orb started to increase further.

[Ryuga-inner-thought: DAMN IT! IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING THEN I WILL BE CRUSHED WITH OTHERS.]

At this moment, Ryuga's eyes turned like that of snake and purple eye shadows appeared on his eyes. He also started to transform, his skin becoming white with scales appearing on them, his face also changing to that of a snake. The pressure increased so much that the other shinobis were crushed and the orb became red.

[Real maid]: Huff...Huff....I think that did it.

They both cancelled the technique and the red orb became red water and fell all over the floor. All the bodies fell as a ball that they were crushed into.

[Real maid]: Looks like this jutsu is a success. No matter how much of a genius Kouske is, he will die by it as well.

[Sasuke-inner-thought: WHAT? ME? WAIT A MINUTE.....A CLONE JUTSU. THAT IS A SHADOW CLONE AND THE JUTSU USED RIGHT NOW WAS A SEALING JUTSU I HAVEN'T SEEN BUT A SEALING JUTSU NONETHELESS. DON'T TELL ME, SHE IS SOMEONE FROM MY CLAN? BUT SHE WANTS TO KILL ME? WHY?]

[Hayami-inner-thought: OH MY GOD! IS THIS HOW SHINOBIS FIGHT?]

The real maid looked at the chef and Hayami from the corner of her eyes.

Hayami: YOU! YOU ARE ARAMAKI RIGHT? YOU WERE A SHINOBI?

[Real maid]: Ah, yes. Hayami the useless cousin of Hikari, well now I don't need this identity.

The real maid peeled a mask from her face and the face that appeared shocked Sasuke.

[Sasuke-inner-thought: AIRI? ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE SEEN HER THAT IS DEFINITELY AIRI. SHE WANTS TO KILL ME? DON'T TELL ME SHE HOLDS A GRUDGE BECAUSE THE CLAN WAS ATTACKED DUE TO ME. FUCK! THIS IS GETTING FRUSTRATING. IF SHE SURVIVED THEN DOES THAT MEAN THERE COULD BE OTHERS WHO SURVIVED? WHAT ABOUT MY PARENTS?]

Hayami: YOU, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[?]: Heh Heh Heh, it means that she was your maid because she was targeting someone. That someone being the diamyo. She was slowly poisoning him and your grandfather is dead, just to let you know.

From the pile of corpses came out a human-snake hybrid. He was fine.

Airi: HOW DID YOU....

Ryuga: Heh Heh Heh, you shouldn't underestimate snakes. There are snakes that can swim underwater, even under ocean. Their bodies are flat so that water pressure does not affect them, I merely changed my body in a similar fashion so that instead of water pressure killing me, I can just coil around myself. Also, I am a sage so I was able to resist your sealing technique the moment I entered sage mode.

Airi: Sage mode?

Ryuga: You don't need to know what that is. Now, you are too dangerous to be kept alive. I have decided to kill you.

[Sasuke-inner-thought(not shared with his toads): I saw the snake so I had my suspicion, as you could find a big snake and form a contract with it, but his transformation confirmed it. This guys is Orochimaru 1.0. Now what do I do? Do I save Airi? But that would mean blowing my cover, also, Airi wants to kill me. Heck, I don't know whether there are others who survived and now want to kill me. This is becoming a complicated situation.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: Sasuke, that guys is a sage from Ryuichi cave, our enemies.]

[Kaki Telepathy: Sasuke, that girl is from your clan right? which you thought was eradicated? looks like she wants to kill you. What do you wanna do?]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: Before that, Katsuki that snake guy said that diamyo is dead. I told you to just put him to sleep for 3 weeks.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: I did what you said, I used a poison that would make him sleep for close to 3 weeks. Maybe the poison your clan member was using flared up and caused something unexpected to happen. Maybe that is why he died.]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: Well, it is better he died. He was too scheming anyway and I did decided that I would not cure him of his poisoning so that he would die. Maybe it was fate.]

Hayami: ARAMAKI! TELL ME HE IS LYING, YOU DIDN'T POISON MY GRANDFATHER. TELL ME YOU ARE BEING FRAMED.

Airi: If you want to blame someone then blame your cousin Hikari. She destroyed my clan and killed many people I loved. Even my parents were killed. I am only returning the favour. Also, I was giving your grandfather a slow poison, because I wanted for Hikari to visit him after learning that he is sick. I don't know what happened that caused him to die so suddenly.

Ryuga: You were playing with poison and injecting a human with it. Of course, the reaction could be different depending upon the person if the poison is slow. Now then, you also disrespected Hikari, whom I love dearly, so I will kill you.

Ryuga in his snake form attacked and slithered close to the real Airi. He had a sword in his left hand and his lower body was that of snake. Just as he was about to get near...

[Water-Style: Water Prison Jutsu]

The clone behind him after using [Shunshin no Jutsu] signless and used the [Water-Style: Water Prison Jutsu]. The water under them that was red quickly incased Ryuga and he was trapped again. Ryuga was trying to move but he couldn't.

Airi Clone: Hurry, escape. I don't think I can hold him for long. Something is weird, I feel that he can resist and get out.

The real Airi did handsigns and then there was smoke and she was gone.

[Summoning Jutsu]

Boom

The water prison broke and in its place was a big snake surrounding Ryuga who was till transformed.

Ryuga: I should have used summoning straight away.

Ryuga looked at the clone that was blasted away. Poof and the clone disappeared after a smoke.

Ryuga: This clone jutsu, it is the same jutsu that Hikari told me about. The jutsu that the clan members of the clan she destroyed used. So, others survived aside from that Kouske guy?

Ryuga then started sensing.

Ryuga: Hmm...You haven't gone far enough. I will not let you escape.

The big snake disappeared in smoke and Ryuga in his transformed form slithered to the exit.

Hayami: ARAMAKIIIIIIIIII! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU (crying). HIKARI AS WELL, THIS IS HER FAULT AS WELL. NOOOOOO, GRANDFATHER...(crying)....

[Sasuke-inner-thought: Looks like there is a chance that some of my clan members survived and there is a chance that they want to kill me.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: Sasuke, What are you gonna do if they really try to kill you?]

[Kaki Telepathy: I want to know your thoughts as well. I thought you said, you just did your job and the aftermath was something no one could have expected.]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: I really just did my job. My clan trained me to kill enemies and complete the mission. I just did that, I killed quite a lot of them. Usually, that wouldn't have resulted in my clan's demise. There should only have been a bounty on my head. But Hikari not only placed the bounty on my head, she convinced 6 clans to attack my clan. They completely destroyed my clan and there were bodies that couldn't be distinguished when I went back. Tell me, how is this my fault. Although I admit I never expected such reaction from Hikari.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: You shouldn't have killed too many people. Maybe it happened because you stood out? From that point of view, it really is your fault.]

[Kaki Telepathy: What are you saying Katsuki, Sasuke is a warrior. A warrior cannot let his enemy get away. He should kill as many as possible. This is clearly not his fault.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: I think it is.]

[Kaki Telepathy: Well I told you it isn't.]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU. I really did stood out but I thought as a shinobi I should display my abilities. But as I said, I thought the worst that could happen would be a bounty on my head. Now then, as for what happens if there are other clan members who survived and want to kill me? Well, to be frank, I will first try to reason with them. If they retreat and give up then that is okay. But if they don't, well then I have to take them down. Otherwise they will keep coming.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: What if you go back and apologise?]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: Do you think they care? they lost their loved ones. I am the prime target and I won't be surprised if even my father comes at me to kill me. If he is alive that is. So, both of you should be prepared to fight even my clan members.]

[Katsuki Telepathy: What if most of them will forgive you? You might be able to join your clan again.]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: It won't happen. Even if they do forgive me, I cannot go back. It could be trap to lower my guard or even if them forgiving me is real, how can I face the people who lost their loved ones. I would probably be treated as a stranger and ostracised. It is just better that I don't go back. I just need to confirm about my parents.]

[Kaki Telepathy: What if your father is alive and he really does try to kill you?]

[Sasuke-inner-thought: I will knock him out and let him go. I can't kill my father. He really did supported me when I was a child. Lastly, Kosuke Shiru is really dead from now on. I won't use that name again.]

While Sasuke was having a mental chat with his toads. Hayami was crying and her heart was filled with hate for both Airi and Hikari.
