This was my first story ever published before Becka Neko and Ain't Life A Bitch. It was practice for me and I started to think more about it and now I have a plot unlike the first time. EnJoY~
Darkness shrouded out the village as two figures moved among the shadows at a fast past. These two figures were known as Kisame and Itachi, two members of the secret organization known as the Akatsuki.
This organization was not yet known to the great nations, but within a few years, the bloodied cloud symbol would be known throughout the entire world. But until then, they would have to do small missions. Right now, they had been sent from Leader-sama to steal the sacred scroll from Konoha and replace it with a false one. The false one had the jutsu instructions, but not all the chakra hidden ones like the original.
"The quickest way is through the Forest of Death." Itachi said as they leaped roof to roof changing course.
The Forest of Death was a secluded area in Konoha that only few had excess to. The only time ninja gained excess to this territory was during the Chunnin exams. Arriving at the entrance of the forest, Itachi sighed inwardly at the fence surrounding the forest. It surprised him of how poorly guarded the place was. The only person was some purple headed chick with a monster temper.
Seriously, the forest of death was filled with monsters larger than most of the trees. How could a fence keep them all drawn back?
After leaping over the fence, they darted through the trees.
"So how does it feel to be back in Konoha?" Kisame asked.
"Brings back memories." Itachi answered as simply as possible. Kisame's face was filled with a small amount of disappointment.
"That all?"
"Hn."
Not another word was said until they were a few hours in.
"So how long is this Forest of Death?" Kisame asked impatiently. Itachi didn't respond. Something in the darkness of the trees moved. His first thought was an animal of some sort, but that theory was demolished as dozens of wooden darts flew from the trees.
He dodged them with ease, but his partner, Kisame, unfortunately, did not. One sliced his cheek and blood dripped out.
"The hell?" Itachi ignored Kisame's outburst and stared intently into the trees, watching, and waiting.
Sure enough, more came their way and once again he dodged them with ease. He guessed whoever set these traps must've used poison because Kisame's reaction time was slower than usually and he was pulling darts out of his cloak as well as skin.
"Little bastard." He grumbled harshly yanking them out.
"I advise you not to move Kisame." He said drawing out a kunai, "Our attacker uses poison."
With a quick throw, the kunai flew into the trees and there was a loud thud. A bird about the size of a ninja dog dropped to the ground with another loud thud. Whoever their attacker was had a great knowledge of the forest that was for sure.
He threw another one in a bush a few feet away and a figure leaped out. Itachi made no hesitation as he formed hand signs for the fireball technique and blew it at him.
The figure ran along the trunks of the trees evading the fire and countering with springing another trap. A giant log came from the tree behind him and forced him to dodged canceling his technique. The figure was standing up in a tree glaring down at them.
"Leave now or suffer the consequences!" Squinting his eyes, he blinked in surprise, it was boy!
End of the first chapter! XP
