Naruto::Fighting Back:::

Chapter One: Enter two cloak figures.

Drip,Drip,Drip

Nara Shikamaru was known as a chronically lazy person, even back in the Academy days where he refused to take a test as he found it far too troublesome, but even with his sluggish attitude the teen had an IQ that reached over 200 and a way of thinking that placed him ahead of his target, easily allowing him to set up traps.

Drip,Drip,Drip

Despite being a certified genius nothing could prepare the teen for this moment; he was petrified. Blood was everywhere as Sarutobi Asuma, his sensei kneeled before him slowly dying from a fatal attack caused by a member of the Akatsuki.

Drip, Drip, Drip.

"Shikamaru you have to snap out of it" Yamanaka Ino exclaimed as she continued to try her best to heal the older man with her amatory healing methods and help her friend overcome what had happen.

When the other boy didn't respond Akimichi Chouji, the third member of team ten took opportunity of the moment to turn his attention onto the kunoichi "Ino, can you save him?" He asked, referring to their team leader.

The blond girl quickly shook her head. "I'm not sure, his heart is beating very slowly and he has internal damage." She confessed, some tears starting to form as she continued to focus all of her energy into healing Azuma-sensei.

Upon hearing this, something inside Shikamaru finally snapped him out of his stunned trance. "Chouji, hurry up and take Azuma-sensei to Konoha Hospital. Ino, go along with him to keep his heart beating." He ordered, gazing down upon their injured squad leader. "Don't die on me sensei..." Shikamaru chanted to himself over and over again under his breath, dusting himself of the dirt on his pants and focused on the situation at hand.

The other two teens quickly glanced at one another before, giving a hurried nod to Shikamaru. "Right!" They shouted as they gathered the injured man with purpose, quickly so they can transport him to their ordered destination.

"I'm not giving you my bounty!" A voice snarled, Shikamaru swiftly recognized as Kakuzu, a member of Akatsuki, and another man who took part in their sensei's down fall.

"Damn it." He mumbled, glancing over towards Ino, who at the moment, was holding Azuma sensei up against her shoulder. "This is not good, we have to get him to a hospital soon or we'll lose him!" He thought bitterly as he glanced back over at Kakuzu who was closing in, ready to strike at any given moment when suddenly he was thrown backwards towards the other Akatsuki member. About half a second later, two mysterious figured dressed fully in navy blue cloaks, gracefully landing on the ground in front of the three teens. The brunette was shocked, had Lady Tsunade send for more back up? No, something wasn't adding up he thought as he watched Kakuzu pull himself up onto his feet.

"Ouch you little shit, that hurt!" Kakuzu snarled, spiting up some blood. "I don't know who you are but, I'm going to kill you for that." He threatened, pulling out a kunai from within his cloak. His eyes were starting to flash with dark content as he focused his sights on the two new arrivals.

"Hold on Kakuzu, let's find out who our new prey is before you go killing them." A white haired man told his partner as he blocked the path with his staff.

"Well then hurry up Hidan, this is wasting enough of my time as it is." Kakuzu growled, drawing his kunai back underneath his cloak for the time being.

Hearing this, one of the figures closing in towards Ino started to chuckle rather piercingly as he peeled back the hood of his cloak, revealing his short, spiky ivory black hair. "Really, you believe you'll be able to kill us? What a laugh!" By the sound of the voice, the teens could tell that the male was young, maybe in his early twenties. "You really don't want to mess with us, buddy!" He exclaimed evenly. "Isn't that right, Ichigo!" He added with a loud pat on his friends shoulder.

The three teens could hear a sigh being let out from the other blue figure, finally deiced l to pull their hood down as well only to reveal short red hair that was pulled back by what looked like black headband. "Really, Takuya, do you need to be so loud?" the one known as Ichigo complained, reveling to be a female as she turned and faced the three teens behind her. "We're on your side, so let me help you heal Azuma san." She spoke softly bending down to get a closer look at the injured man. "Please, rest him down so I can heal him quickly" she muttered hastily removing her black carrying bag that firmly hung from her shoulder.

"What?" Ino shuttered confused by the older woman's actions.

"Ino" Shikamaru stepped in for some added aid. "Just do as she says, ok?" He told her with a nod.

The blond girl quickly shook her head. "Right." She mumbled placing their sensei down in front of the red head, who swiftly got to work placing her pale hands onto of the older man's chest, with intent to healing all inner and outer injuries the man may have.

While the young woman healed their sensei, her companion known as Takuya occupied his attention onto the two Akatsuki members. "Hm let see" he muttered tapping his forehead with his right index finger "Ah right, Kakuzu of Taki, also known as Waterfall Village, Personal data: Birthday:August 15th, Blood Type: A, Height: 185 cm and Weight: 63.2 kg." he spoke smoothly as he turned his attention away from Kakuzu and onto the other man "And we can't forget your partner Hidan of Yu, also known as Hot Springs Village, Personal data: Birthday: April 2nd, Blood Type: B, Weight: 56.8 kg and Height: 177.1 cm, isn't that right?" He grinned happily.

The two missing nin's glanced at each other before Hidan choose to speak up "How is it that you collected such data?" He questioned the ivory haired man.

Takuya chuckled wagging a finger at the two older men "Wouldn't you like to know" he said rather smugly as a smirk promptly appeared on his rose colored lips, when suddenly he could feel a pull of charka being injected near the two older men. "It's not coming from them, but where..." he thought with his sliver eyes scanning their surroundings.

"Well it looks like, we'll have to finish this up next time" Hidan declared looking rather grim. "We're needed elsewhere." He added and with that, both men vanished, leaving only the sand and leaves dancing in their escape.

Sighing, Takuya raked his fingers through his hair. "Shit." He cursed. Annoyed with the fact that he couldn't prevent the two fugitive men from getting away, he slowly turned and made his way towards his friends' direction. "How's he doing?" he asked kneeling down next to the red head.

"He's pretty much all healed up, but he's in need of a blood replacement pill and some much needed rest from all the blood he lost" She respond, wiping her bloody hands onto a old worn-out handkerchief that she removed from within her cloak. "We should start making our way to Konoha so lady Tsunade knows everything is fine as well getting Asuma san the treatment he needs." She stated pulling her carrying bag back onto her slim shoulder.

Her ivory hair friend nodded with agreement "Yea, that sounds like a great idea but, first don't you think we should properly introduce ourselves?" He chuckled

Ichigo laughed, "Yea, you're right!" She agreed with a nod as she turned to the Konoha nin. "My apologies for not introducing ourselves sooner." She told the three younger nin's as she bowed her head in regret.

Shikamaru stepped forward waving dismissive hand. "No it's fine, after all you saved our sensei." The brunette said with a thankful smile.

"But still..." The red head butted in as she turned towards her friend. "My friend here is Takuya Rin" she established

"Pleasure to meet you!" her friend chuckled giving them a friendly smile.

The red beamed as she witnessed Takuya's friendly nature as she continued the rest of her introduction. "And I'm Ichigo, it's an honor to meet you." She told them as her red hair began to blow in the company of the wind, allowing the teens to get a better look at the young woman. What their sight caught was her bright azure eyes that glowed radiantly as she intently watch at the group, analyzing their every move. Though the younger nin didn't seem to mind as they gazed in awe, weather it was from the mention of her last name or taking in how beautiful the young woman looked as the warm breeze brushed along her. Moments later, Shikamaru stepped forward breaking the trance that he and the others seemed to in as he began to introduce his teammates.

"No the pleasure is ours; I'm Shikamura Nara," the brunette said as he turned to his towards his two companions, "and these two are Chouji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka." He indicated as his two friends greeted with a hello and an expressed gratitude towards the two adults.
