"Be safe Hiruzen, your father and I will be watching you from the next life", thought Kureani as she closed her eyes, accepting that she would now die.
"I guess this is it" thought TenTen sadly as she thought how her life was now about to end and how she would now leave her parents alone, and how the one regret she had was not to try and have a family which she had hope to have later on in her life.
A few metres away Kakashi and the others saw the swords descending down on Kureani and the others,
"Hinata….NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!" cried Neji as he tried to get to his cousin but was blocked by one of the Kiri Jonins.
"TenTen" cried Sakura
"Kureani!" yelled Kakashi Just as the blades of the sword were about to reach them an unknown voice suddenly cried out,
"Byakurai (White Lightning)" (D)
After which a bolt of White Lightning came from the sky and hit the Kiri Jonin (who was about to kill Hinata) square in the chest killing him immediately, and sending back several metres away and completely destroying his chest.
Raijuta and the other Jonin then started to look around for who had fired the attack, since as soon as they heard the attacked they had jumped away to avoid the attack. They were also joined by the other two Jonin's who had been fighting Kakashi and the others, since when they saw the attack they thought it best that they stick together with others with the arrival of a new enemy.
As this was happening Kureani, Hinata and TenTen open their eyes when they did not feel the swords cutting through them and when they heard the unknown attacked that had saved them. When they open them their eyes they immediately grew wider with complete shock like everyone eyes in the surrounding area. Since floating down from the sky and landing gently onto the ground like some kind of deity descending down from the Heavens was The Raikage (E). Who now stood in front of Kureani and the others with his back to them and was surrounded by Lightning which could be seen sparking all around his body for a minute or so until it finally died down.
The Raikage wore the traditional Hat of a Kage with the colour being yellow and the symbol of Lightning on it. He also wore a mask similar to Kakashi where it covered his lower face and only allowed his bright blue emotionless eyes to be seen. The Raikage also had on him a blue long coat with three tails and a White Lightning like pattern on the right side of the coat as well as Black Lightning blots at the edges of the coat and at Kanji for "Storm" on the back of it in black. He also wore a short sleeve black T-shit with ANBU chest plate and black fingerless gloves. He also had black jeans and boots with steel tips and had a black strap around his shoulders, the strap helped what looked to be a sword which was cover in clothed that was on his back in it place.
"The Raikage?" spoke Kureani out loud as she quickly recognised him and surprising both Hinata and TenTen who did not know who he was until she said it.
"The Raikage what he doing here…..this battle doesn't involve Kumo or the Heavenly Alliance… lets just hope he isn't here to fight us. Since in our currently we wouldn't stand a chance against him", though Kakashi as he looked at The Raikage. Where he could not help but shiver slightly as he looked into the Raikage cold, emotionless bright blue eyes that spoke of immense power yet also seemed familiar to him in some way. At the same time when he looked at The Raikage he felt a sort of powerful essence about him which made him and everyone around The Raikage feel a combination of fear and respect for him although mainly fear. He remembered Sakura describing it to him and the feeling she felt, but yet her words did not due the feeling justice and could not help but hope and pray that The Raikage was somehow on their side, otherwise they would be finished.
"So this is the infamous Raikage that all the other great Shinobi Nations fear", thought Sasuke as he carefully analysed The Raikage, as he did he could not help, but shiver slightly like Kakashi has he felt The Raikage immense power that was emanating from him.
"The Raikage what the hell is he doing here?" thought Raijuts with a slight panic, since like in Iwa with the Yondaime Hokage, The Rokudaime Raikage was both feared and hated in Kiri although mainly feared. Raijuta himself had to admit that like most Kiri Shinobi's he greatly feared The Raikage, which showed as both he and his all men subconsciously took a step or two back as they saw him looking directly at them.
After a minute or so of just standing there and looking at Raijuta, The Raikage turned slightly to Kureani, Hinata and TenTen, but look directly a Kureani and spoke in a clam voice. "We met again Kureani-san and it seems that once again my people and I have come to your rescue from Kiri".
Kureani who was still slightly shock at The Raikage timely appearance, could only nodded her and say "Hai". The Raikage then put his hand into his right pocket and took out a small pill-bottle and threw it to Kureani, who caught the bottle.
"Take one of the pills from the bottle and give the rest to your comrades and the Wave defenders. The pills are the antidote to the poison that you all been infected with, they will take effect with a minute or so of taking them", spoke The Raikage as he then turned to face Raijuta and his men.
"Isurugi Raijuta, you and your forces are to cease you attack on this village and your invasion of Nami no Kuni (Wave Country) which was illegal from the start and leave this Country immediately. If you do not do this then you and your men will a die here", spoke the Raikage coldly.
Gathering himself Raijuta stood forward "We do not take order from you, and our invasion of this Country does not concern you…besides this is the way of the Shinobi the weak fall and make way for the strong".
"Spoken like the idiotic barbarian that you are, just like your Mizukage", scoffed The Raikage.
"Your dare insult our Mizukage", spoke Raijuta angrily as he was forgetting who he was dealing with "You will pay for insult as well as your crimes that you are guilty against Kiri and Mizu no Kuni (Water Country)".
"Crimes?" answered The Raikage mockingly, before speaking again in a dangerous tone of voice
"If there anyone who are guilty of crimes it is you and your Mizukage. As well as that greedy cowardly fool the Daimyo of Mizu no Kuni, for your parts in the genocide of most Bloodline holders in Kiri and Mizu no Kuni as well as the murder of countless innocent people".
"The extermination of those traitors and monsters was for the betterment and glory of Kiri and for Mizu no kunai. Where it will rise to being the greatest power in the Shinobi world as it should be, and on that glories day we will march over the ruins your so call Heavenly Alliance and of your village", said Raijuta angrily.
"If you think that will happen then your more of a fool than I thought your were", replied The Raikage simply.
