[X] Fight him sensei! [NO SURVIVORS ROUTE, ???, THE PROPHECY DAMNS]
"Fight him sensei!" Saya cried out. Han hesitated for a moment before an explosion of chakra exploded from him. Saya is blown away and landed on her feet to see Sousen's throat cut and his body thrown to the side like garbage. Five giant tails of chakra develop from him as he leapt toward Orochimaru who pulled out a sword. In her peripheral vision, Ganjobu dove into the dirt and disappeared. Avoiding the giant blasts of chakra, she found Sousen lying down in a pool of his own blood. She fell to her knees and grabbed his hand as he looked her in the eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Sousen," she said, regretting her words. He just weakly squeezed once before his eyes turned glassy and his chest became still.
Feeling numb, she pulled out a scroll and sealed the body with shaking hands. His family would want the body. She turned to look at the incredible battle to her side and an idea came to her. She pulled out Roselia and turned to the fearful pokemon who watched the battle with dread. She was trying to ignore that her sensei was losing. He was slowing down with every cut Orochimaru dealt him while the sannin danced around his attacks.
"Use growth as much as you can Roselia and then use Magical Leaf on Orochimaru," she explained, shaking. This was crazy. She felt in the pit of her stomach that she was going to die. Roselia grew and grew and grew before becoming a foot taller in size and radiating an awesome energy.
Then she struck, with three giant leaves of energy, that seemed to follow Orochimaru despite his attempts to dodge and his wind jutsu only knocked out two of the leaves. The sole leaf sliced through his arm, falling to the grassy loam floor of the forest. He raised his eyebrows as he turned his attention to Saya. She froze as his killing intent pinned her to the ground. He was still fighting Han, but was acting more defensively now that he was missing an arm.
"My oh my, jinchuriki, your genin has claws," He said. "Hm, it seems we're at an impasse. I could kill you, but it'd be far too much work without my arm."
He suddenly kicked Han away and towards Saya who was saved by Roselia.
"Leave. Tell your Tsuchikage that if he steps here I'll kill him," Orochimaru promised. Han snarled, but Saya plunged her arm into the boiling chakra despite the pain and grabbed his shirt.
"Sensei, please," Saya whispered. Han stilled before turning back to normal and scooping Saya into his arms. Leaving warily, they found Ganjobu unconscious on the way out, missing his arm. The stump was sealed like it was boiled.

Saya felt nothing. There was a cotton ball sealing her emotions away as she gave Sousen's body to his mother and aunts. The image of his stoic mother burying herself in her hands and weeping would be burned into her mind. Ganjobu would never be able to become a ninja without an arm. When she tried to visit him in the hospital, he tried to kill her, blaming Han all the while. Han dragged her with him to a meeting with the Tsuchikage even though she just wanted to sleep forever.
"What the fuck was that mission Onoki!?" Han shouted.
"Language, nephew. This is mission report, not a bar," Onoki said, not even looking up from his paperwork.
"You bastard, you sent us there to die!" He snapped.
"An interesting conclusion," He replied back, putting a file in the inbox.
"Orochimaru knew we were coming! How dare you endanger the lives of your shinobi like this!" Han ranted.
"You were going to be fine." Onoki waved him off.
"But we weren't, were we?" Saya said quietly. Onoki stilled.
"An interesting conclusion, Iwa," Onoki warned. Saya shrunk in on herself, before Han placed himself in front of her.
"You're not going to hurt any more of my genin," Han promised.
"Oh? But that was your folly, nephew. You chose to attack, forcing Orochimaru to kill Ruito. You chose to use the chakra blasts that ended Wataru's career." Han flinched at the words, his hands curling into fists. "Frankly, your judgment is not sound. Your remaining genin will be put in a new team-,"
"No. She stays with me. As my apprentice." Han snapped.
"I'm the judge of that," Onoki warned. The tension in the air thickened as Han stared down at him. "Do you really want to start a fight over this girl?"
"Exactly. Is it really worth it, Onoki?" Han asked. Onoki considered this before sighing.
"Very well, I suppose so. She'll still be put with a team when the chuunin exams come, but she can stay as your apprentice," Onoki said, waving him away. Saya and Han walked out the door. She took five steps towards the mission desk and vomited into their trashcan, much to their distaste. Han quickly hurried her out and they went to the usual training spot.
"I ... How could the Tsuchikage do that to us?" Saya whispered, hugging her knees as Spearow and Roselia tried to comfort her.
"You were never supposed to pass. A jinchuuriki isn't supposed to be doing D-ranks or even C-ranks." Han said, nursing a jug of alcohol. "And it was useful. We found out Orochimaru is the kage of the Otogakure."
Useful. Saya never found the word horrifying until now.

Saya stared numbly at the two genins in front of her. They were Kyoko and Ryouga. Both of them didn't like her from the look of it and especially didn't care for sensei. They even still had their own sensei, they just had lost their third teammate.
Han said she didn't have to make friends with them, as she just needed them for the chuunin exams.
