Prologue
Taken
Neji signaled his team that he was ready to go, and was awaiting the signal from the others. The other figure nodded and settled into place in the branches just above the warehouse. Neji flipped through a series of familiar seals and focused chakra to his eyes.
"Byakugan" he whispered.
A gray image of the surrounding area entered his vision. Neji first checked the surrounding area, then sent his sight floating to the front entrance of the warehouse. A couple of talking figures sat in front of it, one of which was clad in a coat that covered the lower half of it's face. The other figure seemed to be doing most of the talking, leaving the figure with the coat to remove it's sunglasses.
Neji nodded and once again focused his sight this time to the other side of the building. A figure with hair that didn't quite blend in with the surroundings was placing what appeared to be a sticker on the side of the building. Neji saw a brief burst of chakra escape the figure, who promptly gave a thumbs up to no one in particular, for a very long time, making him look fairly stupid.
'Kinda like Gai-sensei.' Neji thought.
Neji nodded the figure above him and moved in to engage the guard who was standing at the side entrance to the warehouse. The man barely had time to register that an enemy had entered the vicinity before he was thrown against the wall, his insides thoroughly blasted through with a couple of carefully placed bursts of chakra.
Neji quickly stepped up to the door and tried to open it.
'Locked!' he thought.
He motioned to the shinobi who had appeared next to him. The pink haired Kunoichi nodded and pulled out a clip from her hair. She quickly picked the lock and stood back. Neji nodded to her and flung the door open.
A group of black clad men sitting at a table flung their chairs aside and turned to the threat that was approaching through the door. Ignoring them, Neji flung a blast of concentrated chakra at the other wall. A short hissing sound was followed by a huge explosion which blasted the wall inwards onto the men. They let out cries of dismay and fell to the ground under the barrage of wood that was being hurled at them. Neji, confident that the Kunoichi behind him had stepped out of range, flung himself into a spin, releasing chakra and calling out.
"Kaiten!"
The semi-lethal barrage of splintered wood that was headed towards him and his partner were reflected by a sphere of spinning chakra that was focused around him.
The figure who had attached the recently exploded note to the wall leaped through the breach, followed by several copies of himself.
"Eh! Nejiii!" he whined, "You beat them all!"
"Quiet baka!" he yelled back.
Although Neji liked, and, maybe even respected, Konoha's number one hyperactive ninja, but he found his loud attitude to be detrimental to missions. Naruto also respected the Hyuuga prodigy as one of the best fighters he knew, but he also considered him a uptight control freak. Despite this, he kept his silence, he was well aware of how the mission plan was supposed to work.
A few moments later, the front door exploded inwards, followed by a flying guard, who was followed by a brown haired Kunoichi, holding a pair of sunglasses and a jacket.
"Ugh, I'm never wearing that again, it makes me feel like there's bugs crawling over my skin." commented Ten-ten.
As the shinobi got settled, they began to check the warehouse for any other signs of people. There were fortunately, none. After their inspection of the area, they moved out of the warehouse into the starry night, where one last ninja stood, his hands held in a strange seal. Even stranger, was the group of people who were imitating him.
"I was wondering when you guys were going to show up." The figure called.
The other ninja laughed and moved towards their comrade.
"C'mon Shikamaru, this was your plan, oh eminent Chuunin master." called Naruto playfully.
Shikamaru sighed and said something about troublesome.
"We got it from here Shikamaru." said Neji, settling himself in the middle of the group of men, the rest of his team positioned strategically around them.
Shikamaru nodded and dropped to his knees before releasing the jutsu. The group of men dropped with him before they were suddenly released.
"Kaiten!" Neji called, once more spinning in place, sending countless men flying.
Ten-ten, and Naruto took a more direct approach, discarding their justu in favor of beating their opponents down with their weapons and fists. Sakura on the other hand began a set of seals
Boar, Ram, Dog, Horse
"Anmin. (quiet sleep)" she whispered
The men in front of her collapsed into a heap, barely breathing in the deep slumber she had placed on them.
Soon enough, the entire group was dispatched and the team was able to rest for a bit. They took a drink from their small water bottles and sat down, waiting for Shikamaru to regain enough strength to move without help.
"That was pretty close." He said, "It's troublesome to have to hold more than one person with Kagemane nojutsu, even if they aren't shinobi."
"Heh, if that's all that you can take, I barely see how you became a Chuunin." Neji scoffed, smiling.
"Just because I don't have your fancy Kaiten... Ugh, that's not good." he exclaimed, sitting up.
The group of shinobi looked in the direction he was facing. The building which they had served as a meeting house for the group of revolutionaries was starting to smolder.
"What the..." Sakura began.
She was cut off by Neji, who threw himself at his team, tackling everyone except for Naruto to the ground. Naruto, who had been out of range of Neji's flying tackle, had enough time to wonder why the building sounded mysteriously like a giant tag.
The full force of the explosion slammed into him, slamming into the wall on the far side of the street with concussive force. He had barely enough time to register a group of black shapes leaping out of the wreckage before he was lifted into the air by a fairly brawny man, who clocked him over the head, making him black out.
So... whatcha think?
