No. Temari Did Not Almost Lose To Konohamaru. Not Even Close.

No. Temari did not almost lose to Konohamaru. Not even close.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but 13 year old Konohamaru Did Not almost beat Temari.

Even Shikamaru said that Konohamaru was lucky, because he was about to get caught in Temari's wind synthe.

She was surprised that he could perform that technique as a genin, but she was not at all concerned about whether or not she was going to lose that fight.

Up until that point, Konohamaru had been giving the fight his all, and Temari had been going easy on him.

When Konohamaru threatened Temari with lethal force, she prepared herself use lethal force in return.

Remember, as a genin at 16 years old, Temari killed Tayuya with her wind synthe jutsu. You think she wouldn't have done the same thing to Konohamaru as a 19 year old Jonin????

Temari's speciality is long distance fighting. Konohamaru's is close distance and mid distance fighting. He wasn't going to win against her, because he wasn't going to get close to her if she didn't want him to.

Nothing but bad dreams

Naruto x Demon Slayer au: Orochimaru - Written notes / Plot / Character design

Orochimaru takes inspiration from Obanai and Ubuyashiki. Like Obanai, he has poor eyesight but in both eyes. He has multiple snakes that emerge from his kimono to help him see when he requires his eyes. Like Ubuyashiki, he has a very calm tone of voice with an almost magical feel to it.

He often sits with his hands on his lap, and he bows when greeting people. He shows great appreciation for Tsunade and Jiraiya, whom he works along side of to run the leaf corps. His hands are feminine, and he has a very delicate touch and hold, but he's still plenty capable of carrying someone like Sakura without fault. Orochimaru wears a blindfold over his eyes, as they're very sensitive to light, and always has a soft smile on his face.

Kabuto is his right hand man. Orochimaru will send him off to gather information, and he will always retrieve it. He is also a great help in the lab. Sometimes, he acts as Orochimaru's eyes.

Orochimaru is first seen when Sakura is sent on the wrong mission. One of the Hashira sensei's sent her to fight one of Madara's higher rank demons, named Upper Moons, in hopes that her and Naruto will be killed. Sakura fought endlessly with this demon, through broken ribs, a broken arm and even a broken sword for hours. She strived for one reason - protecting Naruto, who was still recovering in his box from their last mission. He was blissfully unaware of the tragedy. Sakura cuts off the demons head, but before it could disappear, it stabs her in the stomach with her broken Nichirin sword. The box's straps were cut, so she slowly goes over to it, covering it with her body in a protective manner before passing out from exhaustion and blood loss. Naruto crawls out of his box after half an hour passes, he sees Sakura's state and panics. Trying to shake her awake, sobbing and wanting to scream.

Kurenai appears soon after, rushing to the two of them. Seeing Naruto startled, she approaches gently and smiles at him to let him know she's not a threat. Naruto reaches over Sakura and grabs her first aid kit, holding it out to Kurenai. "I'll try my best." She says, before starting to treat the wounds she can. Asuma joins her, helping her fix the sword wound, and reports:

"There's no sign of the demon anywhere. I asked some bystanders and they said it disappeared into ash. They also said it had a number in its eyes... so I'm assuming it's one of his..."

"This poor girl... fought... an Upper Moon? At her rank? It's a miracle she still has a pulse."

Naruto watches closely to make sure they aren't hurting Sakura, after the treatment, he reluctantly goes back into his box so they can start making their way to where they were instructed to go. Wanting to be with Sakura.

Orochimaru greets them in an unfurnished room in a small house, sitting in the centre. He holds his arms out in front of him, gesturing for Sakura to be put in front of him. Asuma does as told, and they begin their meeting.

---

Orochimaru: Welcome, Hashira. Glad to see you are unscathed. Shall we begin?

Kurenai and Asuma nod.

Orochimaru: The box... with the demon... what are your reports on him?

Asuma: He reminds me of the retired Hashira Minato.

Orochimaru: Hmm? Jiraiya's student?

Asuma: Yes sir. Their eyes are almost identical. But unlike Minato, he is very... sensitive. I've only seen him twice, and both times he has clung to and sobbed over this girl. They seem very close.

Orochimaru: Interesting... and you?

Kurenai: They behave kind of like siblings, Sakura taking the role of the elder. She was laying on top of the box as if to protect it, even if she died. He was hesitant to trust me, but he handed me a first aid kit for me to help her. He watched my hands closely when I was tending to her wounds, as if to make sure I wasn't causing further harm. They care deeply about each other.

Orochimaru: I see... open the box, please. I want to see the child myself.

Asuma places the box down and opens it, Naruto slowly crawling out, eyes gluing to Sakura. Orochimaru lifts the blindfond over his eyes, snakes emerging from his kimono, all staring at Naruto. Orochimaru beckons him forward, holding his hand gently and placing it on Sakura's chest to show him that she is still alive. Naruto is instantly relieved. After a somber pause, Orochimaru speaks.

Orochimaru: It was rumoured that Minato retired early because his wife was with child... I have reason to believe that this is him. There has been no contact with him since before these two arrived, so I have sent Kabuto out to investigate. Hopefully, he finds out more on the girls past as well.

Orochimaru moves his blindfold back into place, the snakes retreat as well.

Orochimaru: Is there anything further from you two?

Kurenai: What's going to happen to the Hashira?

Orochimaru: Until further notice, he has been taken of duty as a Hashira. We are having him evaluated for his mental state, and if he can come to terms with everything he will be allowed back, but we have decided that it is up to this child what his punishment will be.

Kurenai: Ah... I see... thank you, Lord Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nods to show his appreciation.

Orochimaru: Asuma?

Asuma: Uhm... the demon she fought... there was reports that it had a numeral engraved in its eyes. We believe that she fought one of Uchiha Madara's high rank demons.

Orochimaru: Ah... very interesting... I will have to interview her as well once she wakes. Just to be sure.

Asuma: Thank you, Lord Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nods again

Orochimaru: As of now, both Sakura and Naruto are seen as demon slayer corps members, as are the three siblings from the sand. They are all under the protection of Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya and I.

Orochimaru stands up and walks over to the two Hashira, bowing with a hand over his heart.

Orochimaru: On behalf of the three Sannin, I thank you both for your services. I trust that you two will bring the children back safe and sound. Take care

He begins to walk to the door, disappearing into a puff of raven feathers.

Asuma and Kurenai release the breath they have been subconsciously holding, and make their way to begin their travel home.
