Naruto the Ranger

M.E.R.C. Inc.

Konoha, Land of Fire

Post Kyuubi 12 Years.

Western Road

Two people walked along the roadway, one a tall man in mottled clothing, the smaller of the two in a similar cloak. Both had the hood up covering their faces from the sun that beat down upon them. The tallest of the two reached around his back and into a brown leather pack and rummaged around finally sighing and turning towards the smaller man.

"Nathan can you reach into my pack and get the map and compass out I need to check how far we are from Konoha." The eldest asked.

"Sure Jet." Nathan said moving behind Jet and rummaging through the pack. "Got it!" Nathan said as he moved back besides Jet with a fox like grin on his face.

` Jet held both items in each hand and looked at the map. The compass now pointing north as Jet looked at the map again and smiled under his hood. He folded the map and put it into one of his pants pockets and hung the compass through one of the belt loops on his pants. The man then slid off his bow and checked it. The string was moving normally as Jet kept walking finally grabbing an arrow from his quiver and pulling it back into his shoulder. He slowly slid the arrow forward releasing all tension in the bow and putting the arrow back into the quiver.

Nathan looked at Jet and copied his movements. But unlike Jet he accidentally loosed the arrow. Said arrow flying forward out of view. Jet looked at Nathan with a look of sadness.

` "Sorry." Nathan said looking towards the arrows flight path.

"Lets go get it then." Jet said picking up his pace into a jog.

Hay M.E.R.C. inc. here just saying that these chapters will definitely be longer then this one. This is all I got to while discussing this idea as a future story idea. We both decided that at this moment neither of us could write or edit this effectively so it was shelved. But like all ideas it festered until this. So enjoy any ideas I throw into this they will be varied and I hope useful for future stories and current ones.
