- “Goddammit!” She threw up her fan as a shield, still leaning to the right. It was made from a fabric so tough an iron blade couldn’t pass through it—plenty of protection against the thrust of a kunai.
- But...
- “Ngah!” A sharp pain pierced her abdomen.
- “Sensitive chakra manipulation... It’s my specialty,” Sai said, innocently. The kunai in his hand had torn through the fan and was sticking out of Temari’s stomach, a hazy mist of sorts covering the blade.
- Chakra. By covering the blade in chakra concentrated enough to be visible, he could impart a strength and sharpness dozens of times greater than normal. “No matter how hard you all fight, you’re no match for Lord Gengo. At some point, we revolutionaries will rule over this world.”
- “D-do you really believe that?”
- “Mmm,” Sai said, smile firm on his face. This wasn’t simply a matter of being under a genjutsu. Sai’s entire face was colored with an unshakable faith in Gengo.
- But...
- Then why are you crying?”
- “What?”
- Temari hadn’t missed the tear sliding out of the corner of his right eye and down his cheek. Somewhere deep in his heart, Sai was conflicted.
- “I’m not crying.” Sai shoved the kunai deeper.
- Her breath stopped.
- “Would you wake up alreadyyyyyyyyy!” An angry howl.
- Sai disappeared abruptly from Temari’s view, leaving only his kunai plunged in her belly.
- “You okay?” Someone was supporting her as her body pitched forward.
- “S-Sakura?”
- “Don’t talk. I’ll plug up this hole in your stomach.” Sakura pulled the kunai out and quickly touched the opening of the other woman’s wound.
- A wave of warm chakra gently wrapped Temari’s abdomen. “W-what about Sai?”
