Married To A What?!

With Itachi's ambush, the full out operation had begun. Naruto and Sasuke were aware of the people following them ever since their lecture ended. As planned, the werewolves said their goodbyes like they normally would and rushed back to defend the kindergarten where Iruka was. The alpha was still with his mate but that didn't mean anything. They didn't really have time.

Tsunade knew exactly who that stench was coming from. She had scores to settle with him from a century back. Thinking about it, the witch could hardly believe they were once in a party.

"Orochimaru..." her voice was sober despite the many empty wine bottles littering the table. "I thought I made it clear the last time that I would kill you if I ever saw you again."

The necromancer laughed. "And so you did, old friend. However, I'm here on a mission. Can't have my payment docked for not doing a good job, can I? I would rather not fight you but I will if you insist."

The witch wasted no words and teleported them both to the trap she and Kakashi set. Orochimaru was taken by surprise and cussed when he found himself trapped in a complicated spell array.

"It's time for us to end this once and for all," the witch growled and started casting enhancement spells to boost her mobility.

Orochimaru didn't have much time to react but he defended the slam of Tsunade's wand with his sword. For a necromancer, he was at a disadvantage against a battle mage. Fortunately, he had a few tricks up his sleeves thanks to Danzo's information.

Kakashi arrived at the battle scene to the sight of Tsunade rapidly ageing. Orochimaru was so focused on droning his opponent that he didn't feel the werewolf entering the barrier.

There was a solid smash to his skull and the necromancer wondered if his body would survive the beating it was taking.

The alpha wolf shifted, not caring about the clothes tearing. He ripped the undead wizard apart and tore bits of flesh away from bone. Orochimaru tried to retaliate but against a more powerful monster, it wasn't possible. Still, the cunning magician used his last trick and transferred his soul out to another prepared vessel he had waiting in his lab.

Kakashi... he would remember the name. It took him years to put together the current body he had, but all that hard work was undone in a matter of a few minutes from a sneak attack. Before he left, the necromancer took a look at Tsunade. With the life force drained, it will take the witch incredibly long to recover. That should buy Danzo enough time to finish what he started. Orochimaru wasn't going to stay and risk his life any longer than required and fled the mauled up body.

The werewolf didn't stop until all traces of life left the body. After all, one could never be too sure if the undead will stay dead.

Tsunade shuddered with the close to death experience. If Kakashi didn't arrive in time, she would have been at Orochimaru's mercy.

"How are you holding up?" the werewolf asked, unfazed by his momentary state of nudity. Tsunade coughed and took some time to appreciate the washboard abs. Even near death's doors, she could take some time to appreciate the masculine beauty.

"I'm not going to kick the bucket anytime soon, brat. The barrier will hold, just go and help the two kits."

The werewolf nodded and was about to leave but the witch called him back.

"Yes?"

Tsunade smirked. "You're n.a.k.e.d."

Kakashi looked down and cussed, making the gravely wounded witch chuckle.
