23 Vs Orochimaru (2/2)

Just as he was about to dismiss the Anbu, the team he sent came back.

Anbu1: ”Reporting! Orochimaru managed to escape but he didn't manage to catch Uchiha Sasuke, The kyuubi jinshuriki is also safe. We found a Konoha Genin battling Orochimaru, the moment we arrived he had lost consciousness, his body was damaged, he suffered from muscle fatigue and many bone fractures. He apparently helped the members of team 7 escape from Orochimaru.”

The Hokage was surprised, he didn't know of any Genin who could hold on his own against a Sanin.

Hokage: ”Who is this Genin?”

Anbu2: ”According to our records his name is Saito Nakamura, member of team 4, led by Yamato. He showed great interest in medical Ninjutsu and could be seen training almost daily. He was investigated two years ago for his sudden contact with the kyuubi Jinchuriki.”

The Hokage suddenly remembered that incident. The investigation was closed as he was not deemed a treat.

Hokage: ”Any information on how he managed to hold back Orochimaru?”

The Anbu started talking about the information gathered by them concerning his entourage, his training and also the jutsus he created.

Hokage: ”Make sure that he is ready for the 3rd part of the Chunin exam. Tell the medical nins of the hospital to take care of him. Also keep an eye on team 7.”

After saluting the Anbus disappeared from the room.

The Hokage turned towards Anko.

Hokage: ”Anko prepare for the sealing of the cursed seal.”

Anko nodded. She could only think about how unbelievable that Orochimaru was stopped by a Genin.

Anko suddenly realized, that name she knew who the genin was. She remembered a black haired kid with Hazel colored eyes. He didn't look impressive at first but he was quite polite so she didn't hate him.

=Konoha Hospital=

In a room, laying on a bed Saito finally opened his eyes. After a few seconds he finally remembered what happened.

Saito: ”Damn it! I almost killed myself.”

Saito started to remember his battle. And once again he learned that he was still far from being able to protect himself in this world. The only reason he was alive is because of the help of the ninjas that arrived at the last second.

He hoped that Naruto and his teammates managed to finish the test. He looked out of the window it was dark.

Saito started using the Mystical palm technique to heal his body. And after he exhausted his own chakra he fell asleep. He was glad to be alive.
