Chapter 8: A Fist Bump

"So wait. You're telling me you left your team in a 2v3 just to get your butt kicked by the Fourth Hokage?" I said, trying to understand the story Kurai told me.

"What a drag... I didn't get my butt kicked. I was taught a lesson. There's a fundamental difference between the two."

"And that would be?"

"Not to fuck with the Yellow Flash," Tayuya said, laughing as Kurai didn't deny the claim, which made the rest of us laugh at how quick he had been humbled.

It was currently just Team 9 and Kurai taking our sweet time in catching up with Kai and Kasai. Everyone except Tayuya and me was exhausted from the fighting that no one rushed as there was a hunch that the Sound Four had retreated after having their plans ruined. Or at least that was the feeling Tayuya gave us with how she assured us that rushing to them would be a waste of time and energy. Not like I would complain if they lost a 2v2; that's on them. Alright, let's say 3v3 since, apparently, Kabura counts as much as Ukon. I wasn't going to count Kidōmaru since he was probably useless in the fight.

"To be fair young Kurai held his own quite well." Hiruzen nodded. "Though I hope he learned a valuable lesson."

"Of course, I already have the memory burned in my mind," Kurai said with such a pure look of bliss on his face. I was almost certain he was a clone and not the real deal. Though that wasn't my problem. However, what was—

"What took you guys so long?" Kasai smirked as he sat atop the rubble of a... demon gate? I could barely tell what it was, but I knew that all of the Sound Four had a summoning Jutsu, and Sakon's was something called Rashōmon. An impenetrable gate of some sort. Tayuya called it Orochimaru's shield. Which made me wonder how many forms of protection did a guy need?

"See, I told you they'd be fine," Tayuya said as Sui began to look around the battlefield.

"Where's Kai?"

"Over here..." Kai popped his head out of a mound of sand that happened to bury him. Then popping his head out beside him was none other than Kabura, who barked. "I don't think they're a mirage this time, buddy."

Kabura barked again.

"I know I said that the last five times."

Kabura barked once more.

"Ok... but Kasai can hear them too, right?"

"Nope, no clue what you're talking about," Kasai said, jumping down and immediately relaxing with his hands in his pockets. Clearly finding some enjoyment in his friend's exhausted mental state.

"Don't worry, I'll dig him out," Kurai said as he spawned two clones of himself.

"Did Kai take a food pill?" Sui asked.

"Yeah," Kasai said, tossing her the empty wrapper. "Jirōbō and Kidōmaru was a lot for him."

"What about you?"

"I'm fine, obviously."

Sui looked Kasai over and could immediately tell something was wrong when I didn't notice a thing. "You say that, but your left arm is clearly broken."

"When did you become a medic?" Kasai said, trying to hide his arm from Sui's gaze.

"I know what a broken arm looks like. Considering I just broke a couple hundred."

"That bad?"

"Used my new technique and everything." Sui gave a long sigh as she stared down. "It still wasn't enough—"
