Chapter 49: Quest is Over

Orochimaru ran away from both Sarutobi and Jiraiya. He didn't expect that they had prepared a seal to seal his First and Second Hokage. He couldn't handle them alone and his body was full of wounds. He kept thinking and saw the fight between both Gaara and Naruto. He ran toward that direction since he could use them to become his hostage.

"Hurry up!!" Sarutobi said.

Jiraiya gnashed his teeth and knew what was the plan of Orochimaru, "I won't let you Orochimaru!!"

Orochimaru ignored them and ran very fast toward them until he noticed a group of kids there. He saw one person that looked different from everyone else. He gnashed his teeth and thought it was because of him. He had time to kill him since he was only an ant in front of his eyes. He ran toward him very fast until he heard his voice.

"SOLAR FLARE!!!"

Orochimaru felt his eyes were blinded by this white light. He couldn't see anything and could only close his eyes with his hands but it was futile since the light was just too bright.

Both Sarutobi and Jiraiya also closed their eyes when they saw this light.

"What the hell???" Jiraiya complained.

Sarutobi also felt it was trouble.

Neither of them expected this light to be very troublesome.

Solar Flare is a technique from the Dragon Ball. The user then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except the user, since they are projecting the light. This technique is defensive rather than offensive, and is mainly used as a way to gain the upper hand, or in order to make a hasty retreat or to set up for a more complicated attack without fear of interruption.

Haru knew that this technique didn't have an attack but it was enough for him to prepare an attack for Orochimaru, "Shikamaru!!!"

Shikamaru was a bit shocked when this white light blinded everything. He was glad that he was standing in front of him while wearing sunglasses. He heard his voice and started to use his shadow jutsu, "Shadow Imitation Technique."

Shikamaru started to manipulate his shadow toward Orochimaru. He knew that he had only a few seconds but it was enough. He knew that both Third Hokage and Jiraiya-Sama would help them and during that time he needed to buy them time.

Sakura, Temari, and Sasuke were still blinded by the light and their eyes felt really hurt right now.

Naruto and Gaara weren't that affected by this light since their fight was quite far but it was still annoying.

Orochimaru felt something had entered his shadow and he knew that this was the skill of Nara Clan. His eyes were bad because of that strange light jutsu and he needed to make his eyes normal. At the same time, this shadow jutsu made his situation more complicated.

Haru knew that both Sarutobi and Jiraiya were also blinded by this technique. He needed to attack Orochimaru in the mean time since he had a chance to do it. He decided to use most of his magic energy on this attack.

Haru entered a crouch stance, gathering light in his hands.

Shikamaru was sweating very hard trying to hold Orochimaru in one place, 'As expected of one of three sages.' He knew that he couldn't stop him for long. He looked at him and noticed that he wanted to do something. He was sure, but he thought it was part of his bloodline, 'How troublesome.' He could only hope that he could do this attack as soon as possible.

Haru was ready with his attack, "Holy Ray!" He opened his hands, releasing numerous homing beams of light toward Orochimaru.

Orochimaru could see once again but he needed to escape from this shadow jutsu from Shikamaru. He only needed one step until he saw numerous homing beams of light toward him. He couldn't escape from this attack and was bombarded by a barrage of beams. He felt that his body was pierced and hit by this attack. He needed to escape but this attack was just too fast for him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Sarutobi and Jiraiya who saw this scene also started to help him and attacked Orochimaru at the same time.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..." Haru was quite tired after this attack. His sweat was dripping and he wanted to take a bath. He was glad that both Jiraiya and Sarutobi were there.

"Are you alright?" Sakura asked.

Haru nodded, "I'm fine."

Shikamaru was just too tired and laid his body on the ground.

Sasuke knew that they were fine and focussed his attention toward Naruto and Gaara.

Haru looked at the fight between the two of them and saw Gaara had come back. He saw that Naruto started to talk jutsu. He knew that the main character had always had a way with their talk and made the villain to understand their mistake. He saw that after that talk, Temari and Kankurou hurriedly took Gaara away from this place.

Jiraiya and Sarutobi didn't stop them since they still needed to take care of this criminal.

Haru sighed in relief since he knew that the mission was over. He also felt that he lost all of his energy and fell down on the ground.

"You're not alright," Sakura looked at him with worry.

Haru smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine." He wanted to take a bath and went to sleep right now. He was also curious about what kind of reward he would get from this quest.
