Final fight and betrayal
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.
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.
