Angel of The Hidden Leaf

When I'm back in the arena, I saw a large mirror dome with a single sound shinobi trapped inside it. The sound shinobi seemed to be using sound waves to crack Haku's mirror dome. "Go Haku! Kick his ass! Give him hell!" I exclaimed.

I didn't realize that that little encouragement is a form of order. The ice mirror dome suddenly shatters and Haku dropped down a distance away from Dosu. She made a hand seal and my blood ran cold. "Ice Release: Senbon Hailstorm!"

Hundreds of ice mirrors appeared above the arena. It roofed the entire battle ground and I can almost hear Dosu cursing under his breath. From within the mirrors, thousands of senbon rained down from the sky, giving no place for Dosu to escape.

The sound shinobi managed to stay in one of the lighter spot and dodged the incoming waves. But then I realized that the lighter spot is actually a trap set up by Haku. A solid ice dome formed around Dosu and trapped him in it.

Dosu tried to break through it, but then ice spikes grew inside the dome and starting to inch closer and closer towards him. The sound shinobi then stopped struggling and waved his hands at me. "That's enough Haku, Dosu of the Sound Village has forfeited. Haku of the Hidden Leaf Village is the Winner!!!"

The audience cheered and applauded at the spectacle. Haku then released her technique and the ice mirrors shatters into the air. I floated down towards them and took a closer look at their condition. "So, is anybody hurt?" I asked them.

Dosu shook his head and started walking away towards the spectator's seat. "Sore loser," I muttered to myself. "What about you Haku? Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked.

"I am just a bit disoriented mistress, th-the sound…" she put a hand over her mouth for a moment before taking a deep breath. "I'm also a bit nauseaus, may I go to the infirmary?" she asked.

"Of course," I told her and she started walking towards the infirmary.

After that, I spread my wings and soared up to face the audience. "Ladies and Gentlemen! For the next match we have…" I looked at the billboard and started cursing under my breath. "Gaara of the Sand vs Uchiha Sasuke!"

Damn random numbers generator… Should at least have a match between Shino and Kankuro first before this BS. "Alright, would the contestant please step into the arena?" I asked.

Sasuke and Gaara body flickered with their respective styles. They gazed at one another, seizing up their opponent. Sasuke smirked confidently at the one tail's host while Garaa just gazed at him coldly. "Is everyone ready?"

"Bring it on," Sasuke said.

"Get on with it," Gaara said.

"Battle Start!!!" I exclaimed before flying to the side of the arena. "Okay Sasuke, we've all done our part, now it's all up to you…" I muttered to myself.

A column of sand poured out of Gaara's gourd. The sand then rushes in towards Sasuke who just stood there unflinchingly. The sand then engulfed Sasuke in a sand coffin and I bet my life that was just a clone.

Instead of just vanishing into thin air, Sasuke exploded into a powerful burst of water. "Water Clone," I grinned a little at his tactics. "Just add water, I get it now…"

After a moment of silence, Sasuke burst out of the ground below Gaara and sent a kick straight at his back. Unfortunately, Gaara's ultimate defense acts in and blocked Sasuke's feet when it was inches away from his body.

The sand engulfed Sasuke's body before crushing it, only for Gaara to get a shower of water straight at his back. The red haired jinchuriki started to get annoyed and his sands started moving aggressively. Forming thin sand tentacle and have it revolve around the arena.

About five Sasuke appeared around Gaara. He ran up towards him, only for the thin tentacle sands to capture him. They all burst into water, dampening the arena and slowing the sand even more.

After a few minutes of dousing Gaara with water, a single Sasuke appeared in front of him. He then made a very familiar stance. "Kaimon, Kai!" he exclaimed and his physical strength doubles.

With his speed, strength, and Gaara's weakened sands. Sasuke took control of the match very easily. He struck Gaara with endless barrage, dodging and dancing through the sand's grasp with ease. He kept that on for about ten minutes before Gaara suddenly formed a wet sand dome to protect himself.

Sasuke jumped back just in time to dodge some sand spikes. Due to the water, the sand spikes aren't really sharp, just very hard. The spikes surrounded the dome that protects Gaara with some column of sands protecting it.

The Uchiha then pointed his palm on to the ground. Crackles of electricity appeared in his palm and I couldn't help but giggle like a fan girl. Now that Gaara's sand is wet, the electricity will be much more effective at frying the jinchuriki.

After a moment, the Uchiha vanished only to reappear in front of the dome. "Thousand Chirping Birds!!!" He exclaimed and his palm burst straight through the sand dome. The entire dome crackles with electricity and the front part of it exploded, leaving a gigantic gaping hole.

A shrill scream belonging to Gaara appeared from the destroyed dome. Cracks appeared all around his skin as the lightning destroyed all of his inner defenses. The arena began to shake and I realized that Sasuke should do something before Gaara decided to go beserk.

Then, Sasuke let go of his hand and pressed a seal right at Gaara's stomach with the other. It's a different seal than the one he used to stop Naruto, it's more intricate and more complex. I figured that the seal needs a skin contact to work effectively.

A few seconds later, Gaara closed his eyes and dropped to the ground, followed by a defeaning silence from the audience. Whisperings of disbelief could be heard from the sand shinobi watching the battle.

I let out a laugh before flying up to the sky. "Gaara of the Sand has fallen unconscious! Uchiha Sasuke is the Winner!!!" I exclaimed followed by a deafening roar from the audience. Shoutings and cheering for Sasuke could be heard from the Konoha Shinobi and I can imagine Sasuke's Fanbase just tripled from that performance alone.

I floated down to the arena gently lifted up Gaara from all the sand. "You okay Sasuke?" I asked him.

"Not a scratch," Sasuke replied with smirk.

I rolled my eyes a little. "Okay Mr. Badass, just wait until Naruto kick your ass," I told him before walking back towards the infirmary with Gaara lying down on an invisible stretcher behind me.

"Heh, I like to see the dobe try," Sasuke replied before walking back to the spectator's seat.

As I walked to the infirmary, I heard a commotion going inside. "…don't understand, he can't win against Gaara, you have to stop the match!" Temari's voice appeared from behind the door.

"Temari, Sasuke kun has been training with Kyubi, he's more than equipped to…" I opened the door and saw Temari sitting on the bed with Sakura trying to calm her down. The two of them looked at me and I gently put Gaara on the bed. "See? He won!"

Temari just sat there in frozen disbelief. "G-Gaara?" she moved her head towards the bed beside her. "Impossible…" her body shook as she crawled over towards Gaara. "Gaara… Unconscious?" she then looked at me. "What happened?"

"Sasuke kicked his ass, hard," I told her with a grin. "Then he sealed Shukaku with a much, much better seal," I lifted Gaara's shirt so everyone can see the modified Iron Seal. "Well, any seal is better than his original seal, am I right Sakura?"

Sakura chuckled a little. "Give me some credit Haios, it took me two days to develop that seal," she said while checking on Gaara's seal. "Jiraiya also helped with that seal, I dare say he's actually better than me with using this," she said while twirling around her flashlight.

Temari climbed out of the bed and looked at Gaara's sleeping form. "You… Cured my brother?" she asked.

"Well yeah, he shouldn't…" 'BANG' the door slammed open, revealing Kankuro standing by the door in panic. "Oh, hi Kankuro!"

"Gaara!" Kankuro exclaimed before running towards the jinchuriki. He took one look at his brother's sleeping form before looking at Temari in disbelief. "Th-they… Gaara is sleeping," he said.

Temari just nodded solemnly. "Their genin managed to defeat Gaara," she said. "It wasn't even the nine tails jinchuriki," she then embraced Kankuro into a hug and started sobbing on his shoulder. "We can't win… We can't win Kankuro… We have to call off the invasion, there's nothing we can't do…"

Kankuro just stood there, staring at Sakura and I in shocked silence. "No…" he gritted his teeth and shook his head. "I'm not going down without a fight," he was about to unleash his puppet when the door opened once again.

This time, two figure stood in front of the door. It is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage of Konoha and Rasa, Kazekage of Suna. We all bowed in their presence and the latter walked towards Gaara. "Your genin is truly something Sarutobi dono…" Anko, I mean, Rasa said in slight awe.

"Sasuke kun has always been a prodigy, being the last Uchiha and all that," Hiruzen said with a small smile on his face. He then looked at Temari and Kankuro. "You must be the sand siblings, good afternoon, nice to meet you," he greeted them kindly.

"Nice to meet you to, Hokage sama!" Temari and Kankuro exclaimed.

Hiruzen then walked over towards Gaara and looked at Sakura. "Doctor Haruno, how is Gaara's condition? Is he going to be alright?" he asked her.

"Yes Hokage sama, I've fixed the seal and Gaara should have better control over his powers now. The one tail shouldn't be bothering his psyche and he can go to sleep," the doctor explained. "Though, he might feel lost and scared when he first wakes up after this. So it's best if he gets some psychological help."

The Hokage then he looked at Temari and Kankuro. "You two are his brother and sister, aren't you?" they nodded a little. "Then it's your job to help him out, I can imagine how lonely he must've felt all this years," he walked towards Gaara and gently stroked his head. "People are shaped by how other people treat them to be. If you treat him like a monster, a monster he will become. But if you treat him like a family, a brother he will become."

Temari looked at Gaara, noticing how peaceful he looked. She gently stroked Gaara's head and smiled a little. "Gaara… I'm sorry… I promise I will treat you as my brother…" she whispered with a sad smile on her face.

Kankuro nodded a little. "So do I… Sorry for, being a jerk…" he muttered.

Of course Gaara couldn't hear any of them, but I swore I can see small smile forming on his face.

Then I looked at Anko disguised as Rasa fidgeting nervously in the corner. I couldn't really blame her for feeling nervous, this is the single most awkward thing that can ever happen to anyone. I can't imagine if there will ever be a good time to tell them truth.

"Kankuro, Temari, there's something we need to talk about," the Hokage said before motioning them to follow him. The two of them followed the Hokage out of the medical room and I am left with Sakura, Kabuto, and Anko.

Anko looked at me, though, the worried look on her face really clashes with her appearance as the Kazekage. "You think he's going to tell them?"

I shrugged a little. "Perhaps? Don't ask me, I know nothing about the old fossil," I told her.

"I think he is," Kabuto commented. "It's better for him to reveal the truth and I think it's a wise move for the Hokage himself to tell them," then Kabuto looked at Anko. "Also, he's planning on having you making an entrance in the Hokage Tower in twenty minutes," he told her.

Anko sighed a little. "I get it, I'll be there," she looked at the entrance for a moment. "Kabuto, you're coming with me," she told him.

Kabuto shook his head. "I have to help Doctor Haruno. After this is the semi-final between Shikamaru and Haku," he said. "Since the invasion has been effectively stopped, I don't think any of them has any reason to hold back," then Kabuto looked at me. "Proctor, you should go out now, we'll take care of things around here."
