ME: Hi, peoplez! This is my first Naruto fan-fiction, so don't comment badly about it… or else. :3

NOOB: Or else what?

ME: Or else this! *pulls out M-16*

NOOB: Oh, crap. *runs*

ME: *Shoots* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Prologue

Gaara was blasted through the rocks, cracking them in half. The red-haired sand ninja attempted to stagger upright, only to be stomped back down by a pale, sandaled foot.

"Save your strength… you will need it to survive, Gaara." The voice was smooth, devoid of emotion, and yet oddly normal. Gaara looked back up at the strange figure, gritting his teeth in obvious pain. "You will never defeat me." The black figure stomped his foot on Gaara's back, and everything went black.

CHAPTER ONE

Naruto, Sakura and Neji walked to Tsunade's office. When they opened the door, they discovered that Tsunade, Kakashi and Guy-Sensei were there, standing together and looking serious. Tsunade looked up at the three ninjas, her expression grim. "You three are going to be on an S ranked mission."

All three ninja looked at each other, and then Sakura said, "And the S ranked mission is….?"

Tsunade glanced at Kakashi and Guy-Sensei, who nodded. Tsunade answered after a pause, "Someone has nearly killed Gaara- and you three are going to bring him back." A ripple of astonishment went through the room.

Naruto spoke; "W-who was it who nearly killed Gaara?" Then Kakashi answered him, "…We don't know. We sent some genin ninjas to investigate a month ago, and they never retuned… but, with a special jutsu, we were able to pin-point the exact location of the attack… not very far where Gaara was found." And, of course, Naruto, hot-headed as ever, said, "Well… are we going to sit around here, or are we gonna get this guy?"


Naruto, Sakura, and Negi jumped through the trees. Whoever it is, we're going to bring him back to the village. Naruto thought, as they went to a clearing. Neji spoke up. "This is the place... but where is he?"

A Sudden cry or anguish and horror emanated from Sakura. Negi and Naruto looked.

There was a pile of bodies, stacked high to the treetops.

"Naruto, Negi… these are Leaf Genin!" Sakura cried.

Then, all of a sudden, a shurikan whistled out from behind a tree, hardly missing Neji. All three leaf ninja spun around.

There, on a branch, was a ninja…

… in a black cloak with red clouds painted onto it.

ME: So that's it for the prologue and chapter one

*The NOOB crawls up*

ME: Get back there! *Pulls out a bazooka* …Or else I'll shoot you again.

NOOB: *Crawls away fast*

ME: The moral of this story is, don't comment badly on my writing... OR ELSE!

Arruby: What he means is, don't insult my brother's writing, or else I'll hunt you down, tear out your arteries, and feed them to the crows. :3

Random other brother: XD :-/ :=] (o) [=
