The five man team stood in front of Lady Tsunade waiting for the information about their next mission.

"Kakashi, Naruto, Neji, Lee and Kiba," said the Hokage with her hands clasped together, " I must first have your complete confidence that nothing I say will be repeated to anyone else."

They all gave one sharp reassuring nod and she continued, "The Scroll of the forbidden seal has been stolen," they all gave a slight gasp especially Naruto who was tricked into stealing the scroll when he was younger, "The thing is thief or thieves seem be ghosts, the shinobi who guard the room say they never saw anyone come in or out the scroll just seemed to vanish. Kiba we need you to detect their scent and follow them, Neji we need your Byakougon to find them and the rest of you must use your skills to take them down but remember I want them alive so we can question them as to why they want the scroll."

"You got Nothin' to worry about grandma," said Naruto smiling and giving her a reassuring thumbs up. She couldn't help but smile, anyone was going to get these thieves for her it was Naruto.

"I can detect two scents here," said Kiba, "and they're not scents I recodnise, in fact one is like nothing I've ever smelt before. It's odd, it doesn't exactly smell like like fire and blood but it reminds you of it."

"I still don't understand how they got in here," said Neji to himself more than anyone else as he scanned the room, "door was never opened."

"You're right," said Kiba, "I don't smell their scent on the handles."
This could not have puzzled the team more if it tried, Kakashi had never thought he could be this clueless in his life. The to add to his surprise Naruto came up with the solution.

"Even if they did have some special technique that could get them in the room without using the door there is no air in here when the door is closed so they would have had to get out pretty quickly so they are probely drained and not far away from the village."

Everybody stopped dumbfounded looking at Naruto, Kakashi was the first to recover, "Naruto's right we'll circle the outside of the village and see is kiba can pick up their scent."
Kiba did pick up their scent not far away from the village and they began to run through the trees, "Byakougon," said Neji as he activated his families secret jutsu that allowed him to see great distances and see the movement of chakra through the body. He spotted two figures, one standing and one sitting, the sitting one's heart was racing fast so he dedused that he was the one to use this odd technique to get them into the room and was diprived of air as a result, "I can see them about a hundred meters north from here."

"Anything else we should know?"

"Their chakra is dormant, neither if them are Ninjas." Everyone was very surprised but also relieved as they thought it should be easier than first expected.

The two non Ninjas were now standing ready to take them one, how was that possible when no-one had made any noise. Since the enimies qwere already aware of their presence they decided to attack head on. They were not prepared for what met them.

They were both young, handsom men. One of about twenty-five years with neatly cut blond hair reaching the top of his neck. He was tall and strongly built, he had an eerie look of calmness and he was clutching an impressive looking Katana and standing in a fighting stance with his knees slightly bent.

The other looked nothing like his partener but all the perspective ninjas guessed they were family as they both had the same steel grey eyes, even though this younger one's eyes were hard like the blonds they betrayed something, something only naruto could see. He was tall though not as tall as his kinsman as he was at least two years younger than him, he was pale where the other was tanned and he had jet black hair. He reminded Naruto a little of Sasuke except where Sasuke was just dark he had shiny poker staright strands that fell to his shoulders. He was standing up straight with a small black weapon they had never they had never seem before in his hand.

The minuet he saw Lee he used the weapon, it made a loud, loud bang and Lee fell to the ground clutching his leg. The un-nerving thing was it didn't even look like he took aim, he just raised his hand and without looking he fired and the weapon inflicted injury in in barely half a second. Kakashi attacked the blond with his Shuriken knife but he blocked it perfectly and with what looked like minimum effort. The jounin was taken aback when he fought this man, no non-ninja could move like that, Kakshi suspected that this man was even better with a sword than he was. As awed as these techniques left the ninja that was nothing compared to what was coming next. Naruto created a mass of shadow clones, the black haired young man looked surprised but only for a moment. He held his palm up (he still hadn't moved from the spot in which he stood) and a silver light appeared around every shadow clone Naruto had created and they all disappeared, they didn't pop as they usually did they just vanished along with the light surrounding each one.

Everyone but the blond haired thief stared. Neji then struck out, this guy must use some force to create these gates but neither he nor the limping but still impressivly fighting Lee didn't even manage to get close enough to hit him. The minuet they got close a light surrounded the young man and he dissapeared completely, reappearing behind Lee and knocking him unconcious with the butt of his gun. Neji made another atempt to hit him with a technique called Gental fist but the samelight formed infront of the man and his hand passed through it and (as Neji could sense) into a new atmosphere. The Shinobi were so taken aback by the fact that he could transport their hands into another place in the world that they decided to withdraw imediately as they couldn't even touch him and decided long range combat was a wise idea. Kakashi withdrew himself from his tough battle with the sword master and propelled back onto a large lake that was near by and using his Chakra to stand on it he exclaimed, "Water style, water dragon jutsu."

The sensi (teacher) fire the giant water dragon towards his oponant, the man didn't even flinch he knew that his dark haired kinsman was going to jump infront of him and produce a silver circle in the air and the water dragon jut dissappeared into it. The two young men still looked unconcerned. Naruto created a Rasengan (a Charka ball) and attacked with the purpose of distracting them will while Kiba and his Ninja dog Acamaru atempted to take the scroll. Kiba got it in his hands but as soon as the blond saw him with it he calmly shouted,
"Cal," to his kinsman.

"Got it," he returned as the same silver light surounded the scroll and it dissappeared and within a second it was cradled under the blond's strong arm. The younger one then created another silver circle and said, "Niko."

The blond jumped in and the other followed and within a second the circle closed.

In the next chapter we meet Cal and Niko Leandros.
