"Kashina! I'm appointing you as a squad leader together with Shikamaru. This is urgent mission! Uchiha Sasuke has left the village and I want you to gather every Genin Shinobi who's available!" I see, so the very first thing I had to hear after coming here was this. ANBU's and Jonin's were out of the village for missions. Basically, because our village is on the edge after the attack.

No wonder why Tsunade decided to use genin for this retrieval arc.

I just remained calm with stoic expression imprinted on my face. I'm sure Shikamaru noticed that so he jabbed on my arms after sensing that I'm not accepting the mission. I sighed.

"I accept the mission, Tsunade-sama. Hyuuga Neji, Akimichi Choji, Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba were the available genins." I told her in my monotone's voice. She immediately check the scrolls to mark those peeps to come with me. I immediately summon my birds to deliver a meesage to Neji, Choji and Kiba since Naruto's already outside her office with Sakura.

I'm fucking trying so hard not to slap Sakura. And there's a huge chance of me hearing her forcing Naruto to promise to her.

"I have already dispatched the message to them, Tsunade-sama." I told her and she nodded. She gave me a scroll containing the permit of me accepting the mission. I cut my thumb to make it bleed and then I put my bloody print to sign the scroll.

"Are you going to be okay, Kashina?" Tsunade asked with a very concerning tone. Of course not, my teammate just left the village and is now branded as a missing ninja! How dumb but I just nodded. My eyes became cold so they're cautious.

"We'll be going now, Tsunade-sama. We're going to wait Neji, Choji and Kiba in front of the main gate." When she nodded, Shikamaru and I made our way out of her office. I grab my Chunnin vest to Shikamaru and then put it on me.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Shikamaru asked when we left the Hokage's tower. I smiled to him. "Of course not, I'm not a robot but I had to. Lord fifth put me as the squad leader and you as my co-leader. It's a fucking responsibility again." I remember Neji and Choji's critical condition after battling Orochimaru's pets. What I'm going to do with them?

Ah, Sand siblings and Lee will also come to aid which is good. They will manage but Choji and Neji... ah, I don't care anymore. I'll do what I can do to for them.

Upon arriving to the main gate. I saw Neji, Kiba, Choji, Naruto and Sakura. Sakura was done saying shits to Naruto which pisses me off. "Damn Sakura, you aren't helping you know that? Instead of crying and pleading Naruto to fucking bring Sasuke back..." I stopped myself from saying anything. She just stood there and continued crying because of my harsh remarks. "Stop, just stop fucking crying it won't lead you to best." I told her coldly.

"What is your problem, Kashina-chan! You're hurting her!" I stopped in front of Naruto to gave him my cold glare before facing everyone.

"Listen, Tsunade-sama appointed me as this squad, leader. Our mission is to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke back. Listen here maggots, if someone on this squad ever dared to go against my order, I'll restrain you, right here, right there. You guys understood?" I gave them my darkest glare which made everyone gulped which internally surprised me because Neji also gulped. "Shikamaru here is my co-leader." And then I faced my cousin.

"I'll leave the planning to you, plan about our formation. Leave the fighting to me. Put me on the front line - ALWAYS. Don't engage yourselves in battle if I didn't permit you. Understand that, Naruto? If ever you defy me, I'll knock you out as soon as you said 'No' to my command." And there Naruto nodded frantically. Good. I'm not feeling good today so better be good.

"Now... SCATTER!" And there we jumped inside the forest.

I waited for a few minutes until Shikamaru finally formulated our battle formation which is similar to the show. It's just I'm on the front. Next to me is Kiba which has the very sensitive instinct and nose. Next is Shikamaru and Naruto on his back for counterattack. Next is Choji for our support while Neji's the last for his 360 Byakugan.

Okay, we're now good. Naruto's stable and the other's were also fine.

I immediately widen my sense up to 1 KM which eaten 1/8 of my whole chakra. As soon as I spotted the enemy I told everyone. "Enemy's ahead. Distance 1KM. Prepare yourselves for a battle!" I alerted them so they put out their kunai's. Our speed wasn't normal so It's easy for us to reach them.

"Enemy's on 300 M..." I told them. "DROP!" And then we drop ourselves to the ground and faced those pets while my eyes searched for Sasuke which is currently inside of something sealing jar or coffin. It's a special type coffin which will fully awaken his mark.

Shikamaru on the other hand sneaked around and made the four pets of Orochimaru cornered and wasn't able to move because of Shikamaru's shadow possession.

"Listen, Shikamaru can hold the four for only 3 minutes and it's already started. Listen to me very carefully. I'll fight that chubby one with Choji and them when they got away, Neji will engage himself on that four man spiderman. Next, Kiba will engage himself to that purple haired ass and then next, Shikamaru to that pink haired dumbass. Got it?" I whispered yell to my squad and they nodded. "Naruto continue advancing towards Sasuke..." I told him and he nodded cheerly. "This is my analyzation... everyone of them has level on using their cursed marks. I don't know the limit but each level is going to be troublesome but hold the fort until I come to aid everyone. For Neji's opponent, I think it'll become a chakra and byakugan battle."

"How did you know?" Neji asked.

"I faced those four when they invaded the village." I half lied, okay?! I didn't faced them because they're the ones who formulated that fucking purple barrier. "Setting that aside, for Choji's opponent it's a physical battle, I don't know about his cursed level but I'm sure that It'll become physical. Next, Kiba's opponent... Kiba, I'm having a bad feeling about that bitch. He's hiding something inside his body... whatever is that, trust your decision. I'll definitely aid you no matter what. Everyone got my pointers?!"

"YES!" They said in unison.

Alright. "SHIKAMARU! UNDO YOUR JUTSU!" I shouted and teleported behind Shikamaru to teleport him back to our formation. I already discussed this to him earlier before we reached the main gate. I told him that if Orochimaru's pets appeared he'll hold them off for a second while I'm giving everyone's a tip and job. "Shikamaru, I'll be leaving that pink haired punk to you." Maa, he'll manage to hold the fort until the Sand Siblings from Sand Village arrive.

Lord Fifth - Tsunade calls for help and Lee will definitely come aid because he can't stand seeing Sakura crying.

"HAHAHAHA! What a bunch of genins!" The pink haired brat yelled on us but we just deadpanned. Or so I thought. Naruto yelled on her back. "STOP YOUR SHIT!!! GIVE SASUKE BACK!!!!" Ah, I suddenly feel nauseous. Fuck.

I raised my arm to stop him from yelling. "Nothing good will happen if you yelled like that. For now, focus and remember my reminders. If I caught anyone doing things I didn't permitted... I'll knock you out." That made Naruto silence. Good. I almost faint because of his loud voice. T^T.

"Now, why don't we dance you baby-faced degenerates? After all, Orochimaru the bastard gave you guys a fucking temporary power... why don't we test that?" I smiled evilly before releasing my 30% KI towards them. They countered it very well so I laughed. "You guys will pay for what you did... squad... SCATTER!!" And then we all disappeared.

As expected, those pets let the chubby one to deal with us but Choji already jump himself out of our formation to counter the chakra infused punch of that ass. "Team, I'll aid Choji first! Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru! I'm giving you a permit to engage yourselves to those shits that I have appointed you. Naruto you'll advance!!! Understood?!" I yelled and they all nodded before jumping trees by trees to reach the enemy.

"Oho, so you kid must be the leader of that shitty squa-." I cut him off by giving him my chakra infused punch. "Choji, prepare yourself and engage immediately. " I told him before flashing to this dumbass front. I have already marked him so It's easy for me to come closer... but it was a bad idea. He immediately punched my stomach which made me flew away.

Damn. He did send me away... literally. I know Choji will hold that for a second. I don't have a mark on Choji and I can't flash in front of the bitch recklessly so I made a wood technique and made her flash in front of that bitch as soon as he gave Choji a hurtful punch.

"Now I'm mad. You bitch made me flew away." I told him. My eyes darkened when I saw a blood drip on Choji's forehead. "K-kashina..."

I release my KI when Choji's opponent suddenly upgraded. He's now on level two of his cursed mark. This is probably the most troublesome phase of their cursed mark, their speed will increase. That's given.

I saw Choji brought out his colored pills. I immediately went beside him. "Choji! Promised me that no matter what will happen... you will never eat that Red Chili pill! PROMISE ME!!!" I yelled on him.

His tears dropped on his cheeks so I used my thumb to wipe it. I'm sorry for yelling, Choji! But I can't let you eat that! "I promise, Kashina-chan." He answered "Good... I think this is his final phase. But has the monstrous strength. Check your judgement before charging." I told him as my wood clone finally defeated. Choji immediately ate his Green Pill which has the flavor of spinach - it increases his speed so I had to synchronized my attack to him.

We manage to put a number on this dipshit but it wasn't enough. He has the upper hand but I wasn't letting him to put a number on Choji. I'm always teleporting right behind Choji to lessen the impact. After jumping backwards, Choji ate his second pill which is his Yellow Curry pill so I wield my sword out.

It's time to get serious. I'm worried about Neji and Kiba.

"Choji, synchronized your blow with my slash. Be careful not to touch my slash." And then we scattered and met this dumbass punch. I immediately spun around to slashed his stomach - it was a deep slash that weaken him up to 20% so Choji grab the change to chakra infused punch this assholes face.

I was about to jump backwards when I saw Choji's foot locked on the ground because our opponent casted a ground lock on him. "CHOJI!!!!!!!"

I was late. Choji receive the Earth Punch on his stomach. That made him float in the air for a second and then cough blood. His opponent was about to punch him again but I teleported on Choji's marking - I marked him earlier when I approached him.

His opponent immediately gave me a slash on my thigh which I consider lucky. If ever it reaches my stomach, I'll be damned. I had to finish this now.

I released my full KI to him. Payment for hurting Choji. I dashed in front of him stealing seconds before he could finally realized that I already made my way to kill him. I pierced my sword immediately to the ground before casting And there I pierced my chidori directly to his chest and since I'm mad, I grab his heart out of his body.

"Disgusting bastard." I uttered as I clenched my fist to crushed his useless heart. I was about to approach Choji when I suddenly cough a blood. He sure manage to give me a back punch, huh? This damn. "Hey, Choji." I approached Choji. It's lucky that I prevented him from eating that red pill so I silently burn it to prevent him from eating it.

He's on his weaken state so I summon my clone to send him back to the village. He's already unconscious because of eating those damn pills and receiving harsh punch from his opponent. "Take a good care of him, bring her ASAP to Lady Tsunade. Tell her he eaten his colored pills." I ordered my clone before dashing towards to Neji.

I immediately widen my sense but immediately stopped when I felt a pain on my chest. I have broken my rib cage, I guess. After pinpointing Neji's location, I teleported nearby to analyze their situation.

His spider man opponent was already on his last phase. Unlike the other one, this one has third which is troublesome. Neji's already on the verge of collapsing but still wasn't receiving that critical arrow shot from this shit. That shot will definitely drop Neji dead but at the same time Neji will be able to kill him so before he could kill Neji, I hopped in.

"Fancy meeting you here, Neji." I told him. He just rolled his eyes on me so I grinned. I didn't mind my body anymore, I had to save those who I can save.

Since this punk is chakra thread user. I need to counter him with chakra. My Shisui is a good choice since I can channel my chakra to my blade but I had to clear our arena first. "What are you doing?" Neji asked when he saw me easing my pace.

"Clearing our battle ground." I told him. And there all of his Chakra Thread flew away but didn't vanished. Only Chakra can counter those thread but my technique can take them away from our body. Now, we can now avoid getting cut.

"I see, so you have a good eyes, huh?" His opponent asked. He's living up to his nick name which is spider man because he's hanging upside down right now. Uhm and about to his statement, I have no good eyes like Neji but I watched this scene before, hehehe.

"Listen here Neji, no matter what don't ever receive a punch from him. As you know, they're chakra infused and was on another level." Well, that's troublesome since the only way to better counter it was to use Elemental Wall or Counter it with the same chakra ratio punch. "Use your technique to make him down. I'll be forming our counterattack now." I whispered on him and he nodded.

"HAHAHAHA! You cannot take Sasuke back! He's now Orochimaru-sama's new vessel!!!" He shouted. Both Neji and I just deadpanned. If ever Naruto's here, he'll get pissed and start creating havoc. "HEY! WHY AREN'T YOU TWO SAYING ANYTHING!?" Arara, he got pissed. We just continued deadpanning on him. We really didn't care about that.

I'm aware of what will happen, kid.

"Now, Neji!" I yelled on him and he immediately went towards the spider man while I'm thinking as well as backing him up to avoid him receiving his chakra infused punch. "Neji! Try using Taijutsu with Chakra." It's easy for him to manipulate Chakra because that's his clan's specialty. He immediately nodded and quickly recover his pace to use Chakra infused Taijutsu which is success. He finally caught up on his opponents speed.

Okay, Neji will hold the fort. According to their battle earlier, he has the speed like the fatso I killed earlier. His Chakra thread was one of the problem but archery is quite annoying. I remember Neji receiving an arrow from this dipshit. I think he pierced it directly to his heart or not. But I remember Neji receiving something which causes him to have a hole in his chest. I'm trying to prevent that.

"Okay Neji, my equations were done now!" I yelled and Neji nodded to fall back. I made a wood clone to let this dipshit face it so we could talk for a moment. "Alright brother, listen. This enemy's phase, I can counter his speed but I can't counter his chakra infused punch and I'll let you handle that using your rotation technique and I'll handle his arrows. And if ever I got shot, don't stop. Don't mind me, continue your technique." I told him. I bite my lip when I felt another pain from my chest. I gulped back the blood that I was about to throw up.

Disgusting. But that's better than making Neji out of his focus.

"Alright Neji, as soon as this chipmunk jump backwards take the left, I'll take the front." I whispered and when my clone was shot with his arrow. I immediately teleported in front of me. Bow and arrow is a long range weapon but it's weak against short range. As long as I can steal seconds against him, we're fine. I know Neji won't fail and I trust his judgement so he'll be fine. What matter the most is to prevent this guy from shooting and fixing pace.

It'll be bad if he manage to escape my grip.

As I predicted, this gal set aside his weapon and then he shoot me with his threads which is awful because I got sliced but wasn't deep but irritating. Fortunately, Neji has finally arrive to his position and was about to do his technique since I already cornered this bitch using my wood style foot lock but I didn't expect his half dumb half good attack.

He used his arrow to stab my abdomen, Luckily, I learned to play my organs position and so playing with my indigestive system was just a child's play for me, kid! But still, that hurts!! I remember Inosuke from Demon Slayer doing this, he's making fun of his organs position so I trained so hard to learn that! Praise me, peasants!

I throw up my blood before smirking on this ass. "Say hello to that fatso, you'll be meeting the gate of hell, soon." And there Neji beheaded him from behind. He channeled his chakra on his kunai so he easily manipulated the size of his chakra and made it look like a blade.

I immediately removed the arrow on my abdomen. Phew, child's play but it hurts!!

I was about to talk to Neji when I saw him about to collapse so I teleported in front of him. "Hey, I'll lay you on the ground, hmm." I told him and he nodded. He's just exhausted. He probably used his reserves but I manage to stop him from getting critical. Phew.

I summon my clone. "Send him back to the village." I don't know if my clone and Choji finally made it there or already met the Medical Ninja that Tsunade will be sending, but I hope they're fine. "H-how about you?" He asked weakly. Wow, he cares now! Bless you, Naruto!

"I'm the squad leader. I cannot let them fight alone. Besides, I'm worried about Kiba. Now, let my clone carry you and don't you dare complain!" I smirked when he just rolled his eyes on me knowing that he can't do anything about it. I patted his back when my clone already throw him on her back. "I'm counting on you, take care of him. Neji, rest easy okay? Now go!"

And then I dashed away to find Kiba. My, my, his opponent was the most troublesome but... where is the fun if I didn't fight that dipshit?
