Chapter: Negative

Something was floating in the air. But, it was not a normal thing that you would think would be floating in the sky. No, it wasn't any feathers, cherry blossoms, nothing like that. It was thin strings covered in blood.

"Gah…" Kankuro moaned.

He was on the ground in a forest in the Sand Village. He was covered in blood.

"What happened?" Kankuro asked himself.

He got up from the ground. The last thing he remembered was walking around in the forest. He looked around. He was surprised when seeing his puppet, Karasu, also known as "Crow", having no strings on his back for Kankuro to use him.

"Guess that'll need some repairing…" He sighed.

He started walking home. When he got there, he repaired Karasu. But he noticed that he hade more puppets in his room!

"Ok, this is getting weird!" Kankuro said to himself. "Oh, well, I guess I shouldn't just throw them away…"

There were already strings on the puppets he had found.

--THE NEXT DAY—

Kankuro was back in the forest again.

"I'm ready for you!" Kankuro called. "Come and get me!"

"Whatever you say!" a voice called back.

"There!" Kankuro whispered to himself.

He made his puppets attack. The puppets caught the body that was talking to Kankuro.

"Now…" Kankuro said to the man. "What are you doing here?"

"Guh…" the man struggled trying to get away from the puppets' grasp. "I am Sasuke Uchiha from the Sound Village! I'm taking everybody down…"

"I remember you…" Kankuro smirked. "So why don't you give your old buddy some more detail… why are you taking us down?!"

"Does it look I'll tell you?!" Sasuke yelled. "I'll take you down now! Chidori Current!"

Sasuke's body was now covered in chakra. It stung Kankuro's puppets, and they let go of Sasuke. Sasuke got out a sword. It was also covered in chakra. He slashed his sword towards Kankuro. But then, Sasuke froze.

"What the heck?!" Sasuke couldn't move at all. "What did you do?!"

"Nothing!" Kankuro was surprised. "But now I can take you down!"

Kankuro grabbed Sasuke's sword with caution. Kankuro chuckled and slashed the sword at Sasuke. When Sasuke was hit, He disappeared, but his blood was still there.

"What…?!" Kankuro was shocked.
