Minor note, I am splitting chapter 9 in two due to length; so the last section is now the start of Chapter 10: Internal Struggle.

[Chapter 10 - continued]
Lee cracked his quarterstaff gently against Sakura’s extended wrist, and started talking. “I am surprised, and a little disappointed,” he told her, “is this the same Sakura that defeated Ino’s Mind Transfer Jutsu? The girl who tried to jump in between the Rasengan and the Chidori?” Sakura tried to grab his weapon, but he rotated it away, knowing with her enhanced strength she could take it away if he gave her the slightest chance. Neji brushed passed her, and struck quickly with his Gentle Fist. Lee avoided the strike, blocked the next two with his staff, and dodged the fourth. But the Jonin’s fifth attack landed, tearing Lee’s left bicep. The martial artist nearing dropped his weapon, but gritted his teeth against the pain to retain his grip. Lee jabbed Neji in the solar plexus, pushing him back and knocking the breath out of him. “What happened to being useful to your team?” he prodded, “How will you be of any use, if you are a slave of our enemy?” Her next blow was more awkward than her previous strikes, and Lee knew Naruto was correct. ======================== “Again,” the vampire growled. Now Lee was constantly talking, and Sakura was faltering. But Lee had no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, so he was not using a power against the kunoichi. Could he really be disrupting her just by speaking? That should not be possible, his control was absolute. ======================== “Or are you thinking that this is your chance to be close to Sasuke?” Lee swept Neji’s legs as he jabbed at Sakura’s emotions, “Because it isn’t. Sasuke won’t even know you are there. And you saw how that perverted monster looked at you. Sasuke won’t be the one you will be close to.” The girl shuddered and froze. And what about Naruto? The one who did not betray you, your team, or our village, and who never tried to kill you. Are you just going to abandon him, or worse try to kill him?” “No, I…” the girl dropped to her knees, clutching her head. ‘One last push,’ the Taijutsu master thought, “Well, then I guess Ino wins.” “What?” Sakura was on her feet, livid, “No way I’m losing to Ino-pi…” “Huh?” she stopped, confused, “Lee, what’s going on?” Neji surged forward and knocked the staff from Lee’s hands. He grabbed Lee’s vest, and turned the bushy browed Chunin over his shoulder, throwing Lee into the wall. But Lee was able to twist around in the air, placing his feet against the wall. Rock Lee pushed off the stone, and body slammed Neji. “The monster ordered the four of you to kill Naruto and me.” “Naruto?” “Yes, the demon could not control him either. Naruto was able to break Hinata free by playing to her emotions, and I was able to do the same for you.” Neji hoisted Lee off his chest, and Lee landed near Sakura. “I hope we can do the same for Neji and Sasuke.” ======================== “Inconceivable!” Doraku exclaimed. Sakura was no longer under his control. He could clearly see her up and moving through Neji’s Kariname Jutsu, but could no longer sense her or control her. He could still taste her blood, and access her Jutsu, but she was free. The same might be true for Hinata. This should not be possible. There were only two ways to remove a human from a Blood-Taster’s control. Maybe he had not taken enough blood. Or Naruto or Lee’s blood might have interfered. “Sasuke, Neji kill your target and bring back Sakura and Hinata,” he considered stopping his remaining servants, but decided to let it continue for now. He had to learn how, why this was happening. Last edited by Xavon : 10-21-2007 at 05:15 PM.
