Before the two Rogue ninjas could even discover the hideouts entrance, Sasuke was behind them with his sword drawn and a dark intent surrounding his aura.

"We will meet you at the old Hidden Village of Rain on the North eastern border of Wind Country in 2 weeks time…." The two rogue ninja's disappeared in a puff of smoke…
