He'd made it, swinging his arm and catching his partners waist with his forearm, the former Kage was able to teleport both shinobi away from harm. He didn't have a lot of time to react, and had taken the two to the only place he thought was safe from the blast. Behind their enemy. He'd figured that she wouldn't use an attack that would harm herself, so that was his best bet.
The duo reappeared behind the woman, her laughs cut short as she heard their feet touch the ground. Although she was large, she launched herself, swiftly, across the newly formed crater in the ground. Most of the building, that once segregated their battle from the rest of the village, had now been vaporised by the blast. Anything that did remain of the Makhel estate had collapsed into mounds of wood, stone and dirt.
'M-Minato, your arm!' Kakashi exclaimed, the worry in his voice shocked the blonde haired man. He glanced down at his arm, only to find his sleeves burned away to his shoulder. His arm was mostly fine, greyish ash clung to burns and cuts. It seems that he hadn't been fast enough. The initial explosion had incinerated his right sleeves, allowing debris and flames to cut into his flesh. It stung a little, but that was only because adrenaline was fuelling his body.
'It's not as bad is at looks.' Minato replied, shaking his head as he lifted both of his arms into his normal battle stance. This caused the stinging to evolve into a sharp pain, but he pushed through it. He didn't have the luxury of letting his enemies know that they'd caused him damage. His kunai reflected the mid day sunlight perfectly, a smile appeared on his face for but a moment before a sound cut
'I'm impressed.' A deep voice cut through the battlefield. 'To think that you had the reaction time to save your friend in such a short amount of time. You two seem to be more dangerous than I had previously thought.' the orc woman concluded. She seemed more agitated now. Instead of her usual confidence, she displayed a slight amount of worry in her words. Minato's last stunt had showed his and Kakashi's own ferocity and battle experience. His last move had showed her just what kind of fight she was in for.
'We... We won't let you take this Village!' The duo shouted as the woman found her vision obscured by a bright light, Minato had used his kunai to momentarily blind their opponent. It didn't last long, but it was long enough for Kakashi to toss two of his exploding Kunai, which had been prepared during the woman's short monologue. Neither was a direct hit, but they didn't need them to be. Kakashi formed a seal with his hand, triggering the tags to explode. A combination of flames, ssound and metal shrapnel slammed itself into the sides of her head, disorienting the woman for but a few seconds.
Only mere seconds, but they were crucial. The golden haired man had already taken to the offensive, holding two rasengan, on in each hand, Minato dashed to their enemy. His eyes – momentarily - met with hers, their orange pigments and rectangular pupils displayed nothing but discontent and anger for her.
'Double...' The blonde shouted as he thrust his left arm into her stomach, her leather doublet shrieking with the sounds of being torn apart. The force oh his attack, alone, was enough to have pushed the robust woman off balance a few feet. But it had been coupled with the swirling force of his rasengan and this had launched her across the battlefield. But his attack wasn't over yet. Before she could react, he had disappeared and reappeared above her. The the yellow luminescence that defined his teleportation taunted her as she stared into his, for the moment, orange eyes.
'Rasengan!' the man howled as he propelled his right arm into her stomach, forcing the second rasengan into the same spot that his first had hit. This second attacked forced the woman into the ground, cracking and breaking it apart under the force of her weight and Minato's attack. The former kage flipped backward, sliding to a stop a few feet away from his original position.
His attack was definitely effective, but it wasn't enough to stop the woman, far from it actually. They still had quite the fight ahead of them. If her grin from but a few seconds ago said anything, it told him that they had backed a wild animal into a corner, and now it was ready to escape. They'd best be on their guard.
'Kakashi, ready yourself.' Minato breathed. His peer nodded, readying his own blade as well. The battlefield fell silent, distant murmurs and screams could be heard in the distance, probably from the explosion. The moment was cut short as the woman's muddy green hand hoisted her up and out of the shallow hole that she lay in. She glared at her enemies, their stances causing an eruption of anger inside of her. She screamed, a rather shrill scream, before raising her staff to the sky and bringing it down again. It was pointed at the two of them now.
'Everything was going fine until the two of you came along.' She began angrily, waving her staff around as she spoke. 'I didn't have anything to worry about. I could have moved someone in, under Tsunade's nose, and banished her in her sleep. I hear that's the only way to guarantee that a Prime stays away for a long time. Plus, I hear it's pretty bad there, what with Diablo living there and all.' the woman continued her monologue as the two shinobi never broke their guard. Underverse, Diablo? He'd never heard of these things before, but now was not the time to ask questions.
'And you two RUINED it all!' the Makhel woman screamed, returning her staff to it's pointing position. A single flame appeared at it's tip, sitting just centimetres away from the staff. It grew at an alarming rate, until the size of the fireball was enough to engulf both shinobi. The duo watched as the fireball compressed itself, becoming rounded and ball like.
'Now... BURN IN HELL!' The woman screamed before firing it at the pair, if they couldn't redirect it, the resulting explosion would probably engulf the entire area in flames. The duo looked at each other an nodded, both beginning to dash towards the attack but, before they could even take a step, were halted in their tracks.
A figure had appeared, and had already redirected the attack into the sky. The resulting explosion of flames created a gush of hot wind that spread over the combatants in mere milliseconds, as well as a light that illuminated the person that had saved them.
Long, golen-blonde hair, pointy ears, and pale pink skin. A man stood before them, a man they'd met with frequently, but why was he here, and how did he save them?
