Episode 1: Taken Hostage: Naruto goes missing
"I'm so hungry", whines Naruto, holding his stomach,"when are we going to get some food!"
They had all been walking for hours now, and they hadn't stopped for a break since they left
the village. Now that Zabuza was taken care of, the Bridge being completed, and the Land of
Waves, being repaired back to normal, they were now on their way back to their own village, to
train and hopefully get another assignment from the Hokage.
"Quit your whining, Naruto", Sasuke mutters,"we all haven't eaten for a long time, so your not
the only one hungry right now!"
"Hey, you can't blame me for being so hungry," brags Naruto, getting in Sasuke's face,"I'm
starving, cause I did so much work defeating Zabuza and saving the Village from the Shinobi
Gang.
"You're crazy, Naruto!" Sasuke yells back,"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to
stay alive, back there. I was the one who battled Haku, and risked my life. You only got in the
way, by not thinking about your actions. You almost got us all killed, I had to bail you out,
constantly!"
"Now that you guys mention it," moans Sakura, holding her stomach, as it growls in pain,"I'm
starting to get really hungry, as well."
"I can't stand it, yells Naruto, as he stops walking,"I gotta eat right now! Kakashi, isn't there any
close by Village, that we can stop at and get some food?"
"We should be getting close to our village pretty soon", Kakashi announces, breaking up the
Feuding Argument.
"Really?" Naruto yells out.
"It should just be over that bridge, up ahead", stated Kakashi , keeping a watchful eye on his
surroundings.
"Oh Boy!" Naruto sang, as he jumped through the air,"I'm gonna get me some food!"
Naruto, only thinking of food at the moment, ran full speed at the bridge, his tongue hanging
out, the whole way.
"Naruto, wait a minute," Kakashi warns,"I don't think it's safe to cross." It was too late to stop
him. Naruto ran so fast, he got to the bridge in record time. He did, however, stop for a brief
moment to examine the sturdiness of the Bridge.
"Naruto, get back here!" calls Kakashi,"it isn't safe!"
"What are you talking about, Kakashi?" laughs Naruto,"you're imagining things. Come on, you
guys, I wanna get me a huge bowl of Ramen!"
"Naruto, will you stop being such a jerk, and listen to what Kakashi Sensei is telling you," yells
Sakura,"I don't think it's safe to be running ahead either."
"Oh, come on," Naruto teases,"you three are a bunch of worriers. There's nothing to be afraid
of."
Just then, three dark figures appeared, high in the tree tops, jumping from branch to branch,
moving closer to Naruto's position. Then, the three figures jumped out from their trees, and
pounced, right over top of Naruto.
"Naruto, watch it!" Kakashi calls out, but he was too late, again.
"HAAAAAAA!", came a yell from above.
"What the---"screams Naruto, but he had no time to run. He was pinned down to the ground
by one of the three figures.
"Naruto!" Yells Sakura.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura looked on helplessly, as Naruto got ambushed by two more
attackers, seemingly appearing out of thin air. They were forced to watch as the unknown
attackers, pulled Naruto to his feet, and in the blink of an eye...Disappeared!
Hey, it's me Naruto and I'm not too happy that I was just kidnapped by a bunch of thugs. Looks
like I need to find a way out of this, but how? My friends are looking for me, but can they make it to me on time? I hope their not too late! Next Time: The Great Naruto Rescue
