Naruto- Secret Sage

Next up was Sasuke VS Gaara and there was quite a lot of discussion as sasuke and Kakashi were both missing still. There was rapidly spreading speculation that Sasuke was avoiding Gaara but I knew it was nonsense.

"They will show up right before Sasuke gets disqualified, watch" I said with a chuckle.

Kakashi always had this thing about being fashionably late to nearly any event and I doubted the man wasn't aware of the time the match was set to start roughly. 

"Speak of the devil and he will arrive." I added as I sensed Sasuke and Kakashi shoot into the arena as the ref started counting down.

"Sorry about that, we got a little carried away in some last minute training." the silver haired ninja said apologetically.

"Since he has arrived before the countdown could end he may still participate." the ref said seriously and Kakashi flickered up to the stands where we were sitting.

"What did I miss?" he asked and Guy started filling him in.

"I hope you know what you are doing teaching Sasuke that technique." I said seriously once Guy was done talking.

"Oh? And what gave it away?" Kakashi asked surprised.

"I'm a sensor remember? Not only that but I also mastered lightning chakra nature transformation so I know the signs when I see them." I said calmly.

"I see, well do keep it to yourself since I don't want to ruin the surprise." he said with a smile through his mask.

"You never answered me you know." I pointed out.

"As a sensei it is my job to give him the best chance of victory and that seemed like the only option against Gaara's defenses with the time we had." kakashi said honestly.

Everyone else nearby was listening in to this conversation but only a few seemed to realize what we were talking about.

The match started and it became clear that at first Sasuke went the same route as Lee and was using taijutsu to try and overwhelm Gaara. It worked a little but Gaara wasn't the sort to fall for the same trick twice and after taking a few blows that cracked his sand armor he created a thick sphere of sand around him that turned spikey went touched or gotten near. It was also clear that this sphere was leagues harder than the sand armor as Sasuke bounced off it without any effect.-

"What sort of training did you do? To reach such a level of taijutsu in only a month...?" Guy asked confused and concerned.

"Sasuke copied Lees taijutsu with his sharingan and Kakashi just trained his body to a state that it could be used, am I right?" I asked and Kakashi nodded.

"It's not as though his taijutsu has suddenly reached such a level in such a short time but as you've said that he is merely utilizing a mimicry, a fake. That wasn't all he learned though." Kakashi said without looking away from the fight.

"Speaking of, it looks like he's about to use it." I said after sensing the change in Sasukes chakra after he ran up the wall of the arena.

The boy started making handsigns and a crackle of lightning began to appear in his left palm. 

"TZERRRR!"

The cries of thousands of birds sounded out as the wild and dense lightning chakra manifested on his palm. Sasuke wasted no time charging down the wall leaving a gouged out line of damage as he went. It was a straight line that he ran and Gaara went to spike him with his sand but Sasuke dodged them and thrust the lightning covered palm into and through the sand sphere.-

"BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOD!" Gaara screamed and Sasuke retreated warily after a strange tan and black "thing" shot out of the hole he made at him.

It retreated back into the hole like a snake and I stood up seriously as I felt the change come over Gaara.

"Ready yourselves, the tailed beast is awakening." I said seriously as I summoned my staff from my storage scroll.

Those that knew what I was talking about tensed and got ready while the shinobi who didn't such as most of my classmates took my word for it and readied themselves. The sand fell from around Gaara and he was panting and looked to be on the verge of a breakdown. At this exact moment All hell broke loose as feathers fell from the sky putting most here under a genjutsu as the Suna ninjas betrayed us and started their attack. The Kazekage snatched up the old man and locked himself in a barrier with just the two of them before revealing himself to actually be Orochimaru in disguise.-

Baki, the jonin who came with the Suna genin, jumped into the arena with Gaaras siblings who took the redhead and fled. Sasuke gave chase to finish the job off against Gaara who was now a genuine enemy. On my end of things however I broke out of the genjutsu instantly and took down the three Suna ninjas in anbu disguises alongside Kakashi and Guy.

"This is gonna suck for all these people but we need them up!" I said seriously before clapping my hands as hard as I could.

The air broke between my palms like glass and the shockwave hit everyone hard enough to hurt which was the plan. Actual physical pain was all that was needed to snap out of genjutsu and there was a bunch of unconscious ninjas here who we needed to be awake and pulling their weight.

"Crude but we don't have time to argue." Kakashi said seriously as he started to help those waking up from the genjutsu to understand the situation.

"I'm going to summon my beasts to help around the village before going to help the assault on the barrier!" I said seriously as I jumped into the arena.

"Get it done but don't exhaust yourself either, we will need all the healers we can get after this is over!" Kakashi called after me.

I sent a thumbs up as I dropped into the arena where the ref and Baki were duking it out and the suna ninja looked at me cautiously. I ignored him however and used chakra flow to cut open my thumb before rapidly moving through the summoning jutsu handsigns. The Suna ninja's eye widened and he charged me in an attempt to stop me but it was too late as I slammed my palm down onto the arena floor creating a massive amount of smoke.-

When the smoke cleared all of my beasts could be seen in the arena minus my caterpillar that was still in it's cocoon.

"Konoha is under attack, defend the village while hunting the enemies!" I yelled from my place on my largest beasts(Kuma) head.

My beasts all sounded off before rushing out to follow my commands with the exception of Kuma who was smart enough to realize that if I was standing on him that I had something else in mind for him.

"Smash this ninja here Kuma!" I commanded while pointing at Baki and the bear turned a bloodthirsty gaze on the man and roared.
