"Team one in position," whispered a pink-haired girl, her emerald eyes shaded by the veil of darkness in the trees. Behind her, a slightly-large boy, Choji, and a thinner, coated boy, seated on a large dog, were hidden well within the bushes, using special jutsu to conceal the animal--Kiba. The girl was talking through a specially enhanced wireless communicator, her voice low.
"Team two, in position," The boy that had whispered this was concealed among dark, shadowed rocks, his voice--sounding apathetic and cold--went into his own communicator. Next to him was a man, about his age, in a black overcoat, which covered the majority of his face, which was finished being concealed by black shades--Shino--and a blond-haired girl with pale, blue-ish eyes was behind the two, staring ahead.
"Yeah, team three, ready! Let's go!" The blond who had whispered into his own communicator grinned, turning to face a black-haired boy and girl, the boy with black eyes, who was Shikamaru, and the girl with white ones, Hinata. "Let's go," he informed, turning his sapphire-blue eyes to the nearby building. Instantly, all three groups disappeared, moving further towards their objective.
Naruto, the blond boy, frowned. He didn't like being separated from his usual team--the cruel Sasuke and the bouncy, pink-haired Sakura. From behind him, Shikamaru told him to hurry up, and he did.
Soon, all the groups were in positions inside the castle, nearby each other, hidden within the shadows. Shikamaru moved his hands about, forming seals, casting his shadow-control jutsu on one of the two guards in the room. Sasuke turned to Ino, signaling her to do something with his head. The girl nodded, former her own hand seals, using her own special jutsu--mind-swap jutsu--on the other guard, who she used to silently kill the guard bound without knowing by Shikamaru's shadow jutsu. She then had him kill himself. When her mind was safely back in her own body, Sasuke tapped twice on his communicator to indicate they were ready.
Naruto started forward, Hinata behind him. They stopped near the large, black chest, which was locked with parchment seals. Naruto concentrated, brought out his fox demon chakra, and held his hand over the chest.
A large flame sparked, pushing Naruto far back and into a wall with a harsh-sounding thump. It ended up messing up his leg, so he groaned in pain as he fell after trying to get up. "Hinata!"
"Right!" she said, activating her Jugen as the sword flung up through the chest, resinating a black energy. Hinata flung for the sword, grabbing the hilt using her gentle fists style to close off the chakra vents of the dangerous weapon. The sword suddenly jerked, flinging the girl into a wall, hitting her upside the head with the hilt.
"Hinata! Damn it, plan B!" Shikamaru yelled, running over to the sword, forming his seals and casting his Kagemane no Jutsu on the sword, but before he could even finish activating the jutsu the sword moved, flinging itself at Naruto.
"Naruto, move!" Sakura yelled, just as an extremely loud alarm started to go off.
The sword was too close and Naruto was still just recovering from the impact against the wall. Sasuke, noticing this, flung off his communicator at Shino--who caught it--and jumped in front of the helpless, younger boy, forming seals. He was too slow, though, and the sword got to him before he could cast his jutsu.
Naruto started up in horror at the bloody sword, flowing black with chakra--Sasuke's chakra. Hinata gaped, then ran at the sword, grabbing it by the blade and pulling it back before it could try to get to Naruto, sealing up the remaining chakra release points and dropping it to the ground. Enemy shinobi were suddenly surrounding them, all aiming their weapons at the group, ready to attack.
Naruto flung off his Anbu mask, throwing it to where Shikamaru caught it, crawling over to Sasuke, hands on his shoulders. He looked at the enemies surrounding them. "Now!"
Suddenly a light gray gas entered the whole room, veiling everything so they could make their escape. Pulling Sasuke onto his back, Naruto, leading the group, quickly escaped. Hinata made sure she had the weapon securely on her back before following them, using her Byakugan to make sure the enemies weren't following them.
