"Medicine retrieval? Why can't we do anything exciting? We are one of the strongest villages, and you want me to get some medicine!" Tenten fumed in front of the Third Hokage.
"It is needed badly. Many have been infected with the virus, without even knowing. You surely have seen the symptoms," The Third replied. "First, the victim's hearing goes, slowly until deaf. Soon, organs deteriorate, shutting down major needs. 12 have died so far.
"The Sound has most likely created the disease, which means they have the cure. I need you to go get-"
"We heard!" Interrupted Lee. "Get the cure with the help of Team 55. I don't know why we need help. We can do it ourselves, Hokage"
"You need to do this as quickly as possible before we lose any more. Be off! Meet Team 55 at the main gate. Neji, you are in charge of both groups. Finally, stay on your ally team's good side. Some could be dangerous."
"Why would they hurt us?" asked Neji.
"I pray you never find out" replied the Third.
"You know who Sudaru is, I assume, Naruto, but I don't think you know Rukura and Okruso." Neji explained to Naruto. Neji was telling Naruto all about his adventure with Sudaru and the others after Naruto's adventure with the not-so-informative Sudaru.
"Rukura was a female. Intelligent and flexible. Her main jutsu was her ability to defend against anything. She had the power of The Shield.
"Okruso was a male. Strong, not too bright and sort of a muscle head. He could fight well, but one blow could destroy him. He has the power of The Shield." Neji explained.
"And Sudaru?" Naruto asked.
"The bomb. Any trigger and BOOM! Not even Rukura's shielding powers can stop it or Okruso's attacking powers can overcome it. He, and everyone around him, is doomed."
This is a prequel, so Tenten and Lee are healthy, Konoha is powerful and Sarutobi is Hokage. More soon, but work is evil and slows down the process. Please recomend me to your friends!
