Nakita slunk around, hoping not to be noticed. She could see that guy who was shooting arrows at his dad, soo close now. She crawled like some sort of forest preditor, and leaped at him. Relic, not realizing that a miniture orochimaru was behind him, fell out of the trees. He caught himself, though, and looked at the tree, but no one was there. He looked around, and still saw nothing. He was confused, and wondered where his enemy had come from. Just as he was about to let his guard down, Nakita leaped from a different tree, and landed on Relic's shoulders, which made both of them crash into the ground. Nakita got up, and started beating up Relic right in his ugly face. "Get..away...from...me.....and my....Dad!" she exclaimed between blows. Relic threw her off his face soon, though, and aimed a arrow at her. Then, with a smile of resignation, put his bow down. "You know, I'm too old for this sort of thing," he said plainly, which confused Nakita. Sure this guy looked as old as dirt, but he was still fliting through the forest like any other ninja. She rushed at him again, but without thinking. She swung her arms wildly in the air, but hit nothing. Relic was holding her away at his arm's length, which was considerably longer than Nakita's current reach. "Listen, little one, and I will give you this," he said, pointing at his bow on his back. Nakita closed one eye in annoyence, but that bow looked so.......SHINY!!!!!! she really wanted it now. She crossed her arms, and listened to the old man tell her a story of his life, and how, on occasion, he saw a man that looked like a skeleton with a black cloak and a man who walked backwards who seemed to be at every major event in the Ninja world. Nakita sighed and rolled her eyes. "Are you done now? Can I have shiny now?" Relic smiled, and shook his head. "Kids these days, no respect," but took the bow off his back and started training Nakita how to use it.

Orochimaru made a quick few strikes which Azami dodged. "You know, Azami," orochimaru said casualy, "The longer you stay in here, the less air there will be to breathe." As if to prove his point, Manda constricted a little tighter. Azami knew, desprately, that she had to find a way out of this trap. She thought, and found only one solution. She backed up against the scales, and pressed her hand against it. The genetic readout flashed before her eyes, and she changed her body to the composition of the snake, and melded with it. Now Orochimaru stood by himself, and was about to release Manda, but the giant snake uncoiled, and flailed his tail right at Orochimaru. "What are you doing, idiot?" he yelled at the snake. Manda didn't respond, but turned around, and opened his mouth wide to swallow him whole. Now Orochimaru understood. Azami's mind must have been strong enough to eclipse Manda's. No small feet, he considered. He made one handsign, and released Manda. The snake dissapeared, but from the smoke, which was only inches away from, a fist with the force of 20 rockslides came in square at his face. As he was hit, he could feel all of his bones in his jaw shatter, and his nose was nothing but a bloody smear on his face. He lay on the ground, on the edge of conciousness, and was filled with rage. If he couldn't have Itasuske, no one whould! He threw his grass longsword, and told it to stab Itasuske. He then slipped into unconciousness.
