Journey To Kohona

Shinato , this name means nothing to no one, cept the owner of it. Shinato Kiyogashi , a 12 year old boy who had a dream to not be alone , all his life he had been forgotten and uncared for. Shinato's only wish was to be around other normal people , so he became a shinobi to try and make that wish come true.

Shinato is a rather silent person and tries to hard for to little, he's a young Shinobi who thinks his skills are no higher then his fellow team mates or anyone else. Shinato uses a series of swords to fight with mostly instead of jutsu , tho he also uses jutsu , but swords as well.

Shinato now goes too met his sensei and team, he comes too a closing area , a forest area where his sensai told him to meet.

Shinato continues to walk until he comes up on this forest , he gets there and see's 3 people standing in the distance, one older man , one boy the same age as Shinato , and a girl also the same age.

The Boy's name was Shinokai , and the girls name is Menomari, and the sensai , just sensei

"Uhh... hey guys..." - Shinato

"Ahh jeez , ur late Shinato , agian." - Shinokai

"Enough , lets get to training." - Menomari

"I.. uhh.. , right." - Shinato

"Where we headed Sensei?" - Shinokai

"We're headed to the village hidden in the leaves , we have too see the Hokage, and we'll be there for a week for other reasons too whicth I cannot say.. , but in anycase we'll head out today and reach Kohona in the moring." -Sensei

"Kohona..." - Menomari

"Jeez , this is gonna be so boring." - Shinokai

Shinokai put his hands behind his head and grunted a little , you could tell he was bored and annoyed and wanted something to do .

Menomari didn't like Kohona , for some reasons , she's never told anyone so no one knows why she doesnt like Kohona .

"Well , standing here isnt gonna get much done... , come on guys lets go." - Sensai

"Right." -Shinato

"Gah.. , fine." - Shinokai

"Hm... " - Menomari

Shinato and his team from the sand started walking , there walked for a long time and Sensai stoped

"Alright , we can rest for awhile , then we'll start up agian." - Sensei

Everybody sat down and rested , you could tell they were tierd and wanted to rest , but they didn't wanna show it , it was silent , and not much was going to happen.

"So...? what does the Hokage want?" - Shinokai

"I dont no , they never said , it just said to be in Kohona ASAP , and nothing more." - Sensei

"I wonder what they want? " - Shinato

"I dont know , and truthfully dont care , I just wanna fight!" - Shinokai

Shinokai said with a look of excitment on his face as his voice began happier.

"Alright , let go." - Sensei

The team got up , as Sensei lead. Shnato followed in the back with Shinokai up front with Sensei, he must have been hoping there would have been a fight or something.

Shinato looked around for a good while, the wind blew threw his hair as he grined, but wondered something. He wondered why did Kohona need us, and? why us...? There was many things Shinato wondered, and thought about.

At the moment however, this was the main one, they continued walking but Shinato felt uneasy, he looks around agian, then looked at his team mates. They all looked deep in thought, for something reason or another.

The came to a big cliff, Sensei and the team stoped, Shinato looked over the cliff, wondering how they were going to get across. It's been while since anyone has said a word. Shinato felt like saying something, just to break the silence, but didn't know how, or what to say.

The odd silence was finally broken by Sensei. "So, do we cross? or do we take a longer root across, and try to find a crossing? " Asked the Sensei, uncaring of the answer. "Screw that! I wanna find out what they want!, lets cross! " Said Shinokai angerly. "Yeah? and how to you think we should get across there smart one? " Replied Memomari. "Hm..." Shinato remained silent for the most part, the Sensei then bit his finger as blood rolled down his index finger.

Suddenly, it got silent, everybody was wacthing the Sensei. He did a series of hand signs, then slamed his palm on the ground, as a cloud of white smoke appear everywhere, making it almost impossible to see. Suddenly a vary large eagle type animal appeared. "Ah!... A summon..." Shinokai said in awe. "C'mon everyone, no time to loose."

The Sensei jumped on the massive birds back, and waved for the rest of the team to follow. Shinokai was first, then Memomari, then finally Shinato jumped on.

The large bird started to fly across the great cannion. The Sensei looked forward, as Shinokai could only look at the great summon he has been riding on. Memomari was still deep in thought, as Shinato looked over the side of the massive bird summon.

The finally reached the other side, as they all jumped off the giant bird summon. When they were all off, the summon did a giant flap of his wings, and vanished into thin air. Sensei started walking agian, as he spoke "C'mon, lets make it before night fall hits, okay? " Sensei said in a almost worried voice. "So... we're in Kohona now..?" Asked Shinato, "Yeah " said the Sensei.

"I dont like it..." Said Memomari, "dont like what? " Said Shinokai questionly. " I dont like the fact that Kohona wants us, they didn't even say why? I have been wondering about this the intire time.." Said Memomari in silent, and worried type voice

. "As have I..." said the Sensei, "Look? who cares, lets just get there? and get back." said Shinokai. "Yeah but... Why would they want us... why not any other sand team, why was it us..." Asked Shinato.

"Hm..?" said everyone, they looked back at Shinato and had a confused, yet somewhat worried face including the Sensei. " I dont know, perhaps because We're Suna's strongest team as of this moment maybe, but who knows." answered the Sensei.

Everybody was lost in thought at this point. "C'mon, lets continue. " said the Sensei , then he continued walking, the others followed behind him. I wonder whats going threw their minds...? thought the Sensei. The team hoped over tree's, and jumped over little lakes, and continued on their path to Kohona. "I dont care, I hope we can fight their tho, thats all I want" said Shinokai.

"ya know? one of these days your gonna get beat so bad, your not gonna wanna fight anymore" Replied Memomari, "What was that?" Said Shinokai, "Nothing, your such a waste of time, your arrogance will be your downfall. Remember that." Memomari said with a mean tone in her voice.

"Hm, whats your problem? wake up on the wrong side of the bed or somethin? " Shinokai asked. "Just shut up, okay? " Said Memomari. "Jeez, certain girls are so annoying, right Shinato? " said Shinokai laughing a little. "Shinato smiled a little "I guess? " Shinato said smiling still as Memomari looked back at them both. "What was that...? " Asked Memomari

"Ohhhh, nothing. Just talkin with ma buddy Shinato is all. " Shinokai said nerviously Shinato laughing in his head. Kids are so annoying... Thought the Sensei. The team talked about random things, then suddenly a kunai flew vary quickly out of the tree's of Kohona, and flew at Shinato's head.

"Incomming! " Shinokai fliped a kunai out and hurled it at the one heading towards Shinato. "Look alive buddy, I cant be saving you all the time? haha" Shinokai said, as a smirk grew across his face as he knew a battle was about to take place.

The excitment rushed into his head as a mer thought of a fight made him get excited. He fliped out another kunai while smirking.Suddenly 10 sound ninja flew out and surrounded them. "Hahaha... give us all ya yen, and we'll be on our way..." Said the sound ninja's. "hahahahahaha...wow, a scrubby sound ninja making threats? how funny." laughed Shinokai.

"What was that? you desert rat! " The sound ninja said angerly. "Enough talk... Lets go! " Shinokai dashed towards a sound ninja, followed behind by Memomari, the Sensei dissipeared as Shinato just stood there. Shinokai hurled the kuna he was holding at one of the sound ninja, then caught the kunai as Shinokai still ran at him, suddenly Memomari fliped off of Shinokai's shoulder's and appeared behind the sound ninja, the sound ninja spun around , about to slash Memomari with a kunai, Shinokai taped the sound ninja's shoulder "now? thats not vary nice. " Remarked Shinokai, suddenly Memomari punched the sound ninja in the face, as Shinokai wacthed him drop.

Three of the sound ninja ran at Shinato, Shinato looked up then fliped on his right arm, pulling out 3 kunai with his left hand, then circled back to his feet, a sound ninja came from behind, Shinato spun around kicking him in the gut, as he hurled a kunai into his forward, then sweeped his legs.

Then shot the 2 remaining kunai into the two other sound ninja's feet, pinning them to the floor. Shinato fliped behind them, then used the one sound ninja's shoulder's then fliped up, kicking him in the face, and hurlingthe remaing kunai's at the other sound ninja's stomach. As they both fell to the floor.

There were seven remaining sound ninja. Shinato smirked and reached for another kunai, then suddenly Shinokai and Memomari appeared on either side of Shinato. "Ha.. Ready guys? " Said Shinokai with excitment and laughter","Lets go! " Shinato yelled, the 3 Shinobi dissipeared into thin air, leaving the 7 sound ninja confused. Suddenly Memomari appeared behind one, slashing them in the back of the neck with a kunai, 3 of the sound ninja ran at Memomari angerly, Shinokai appeared infront of Memomari, and the 3 running sound ninja.

"Ha... bye, bye..." Shinokai opened his hands, as he did a hand sign and slicing air waves shot at the the 3 sound ninja, cutting them into peices, leaving scares and gashing threwout there intire body, as a pool of blood slowly formed. "Hah... who's next? " Said Shinokai.

The last 2 sound ninja flew towards to the 3 genen, Shinokai, Memomari and Shinato. When suddenly the Sensei appeared infront his team. "Enough!" Suddenly 2 kunai flew into the sound ninja's throats, falling to the ground the sound ninja started to caugh of there own blood. Dying painfully.

"Well... that was surly exciting. "Said the Sensai. "Pfffft. Peice of cake" said Shinokai. "And why didn't you help us Sensei?" said Memomari. "As you can see? I didn't really need too. " Said the Sensei with a smile.

Shinato looked at the 10 dead or dying boodies, 2 were still alive, but in great pain. Shinato walked over to the dying people. "It...was your own fualt..., ya know? " Shinato then fliped out 2 kunai and shot them into their necks, finishing them off, and giving them peice.
