Sleepless D: I'm not too sure why I'm doing a story like this, I started this before any of my other stories, but I never got round to making it, so here it goes. The story's timeline is Naruto's first Chuunin exam, plus this is going to be weird story and in it are (Warning, slight spoilers to this story): Naruto and crew just before the preliminaries of the Chuunin exams are abducted and left in a strange place, last year's rookie teams that were with Team Guy year, blood and soon to be gore, there are strange creatures, and death of many Naruto characters so be warned. Peace out.
Blurry vision, splitting headache and the taste of blood in her mouth, Hinata slowly rose from where she was laying. The room she was in was very large and very dark, yet strangely familiar, there was only enough light to see the where the walls were. She noticed a few figures moving in her line of sight, blinking rapidly to clear her vision she noticed several people in the room with her. Most of them appear to be leaf Shinobi, whilst the others consist of sand and sound Shinobi, most of the people in the room were still unconscious, and the only ones that were awake were Sakura, Rock Lee and Gaara. Sakura was near the eastern side of the room damping a wet cloth on both Naruto and Sasuke, Gaara was sitting in the corner with his dark eyes glaring everywhere to try to understand the predicament he was in, whilst Lee was standing in the middle in a guard stance, Hinata only realising he was still unconscious, she decided not to give any thought how he was doing that and wondered where her teammates were.
She spotted Kiba lying on his back a few feet in front, she then spotted Akamaru laying his head on Kiba's left shoulder whining. "K-Kiba...A-Akamaru..." Hinata muttered painfully.
Sakura jumped and squealed a little and turned her head when she heard someone speak. "H-Hinata? Was that you?"
"S-Sakura? W-Where are w-we?" Hinata asks whilst pushing herself up and winked in pain.
"I don't know...I just woke up a few minute ago myself, Lee's been standing there all this time and I'm too scared to ask that creepy guy in the corner what's going on." Sakura answered.
"We've been taken by something that I wish to know what, I saw everything for I never sleep, yet I don't know what that 'thing' was." Gaara spoke when he heard Sakura, making her and Hinata jump in slight fear.
"W-What d-did y-you see?" Hinata asked.
"I'm not sure...it was as if it was a cloud of darkness that seemed to consumes everything." Gaara said, looking to see a couple more stir from their slumber.
"Oww...why does it feel like I've been drinking?" Ino asked as she arose, while Shino slowly got up, saying nothing.
"S-Shino, y-your bleeding." Hinata states when she sees some blood trickle down the side of his head.
"I am fine Hinata; I appreciate your concern for my well being." Shino says, rubbing the blood off his face with his jacket's sleeve.
Just then, Naruto sat up yawning and rubbing his eyes. "What's for breakfast?" He asked as he opened his eyes. "...I knew my home was in bad state, but it was never this bad." He said out loud, gaining a punch on the back of the head from Sakura.
"Damn it Naruto, can you ever be normal?" Sakura yells, in which, woke up a few more people, Choji slowly got up while complaining that he was hungry, Neji got up and wandered what happened while shacking Tenten awake, Sasuke slowly sat up, holding his neck painfully. And both Kankuro and Temari got up quickly in fear that Gaara had done something, when they saw that he was in his normal state and relaxed.
"Alright, what the fuck happened to us?" Temari yelled.
"We're not sure, because most of us have only just awakened." Shino says, kneeling down to check on Kiba.
Some shuffling came from one of the corners of the room and everyone turned to see one of the Sound ninja quickly stumble upwards, panicking over not knowing where he is, he turned to see everyone staring at him. Sakura recognised him as Dosu, the leader of the Sound team, he then quickly kicked one of his companions near him, gaining a painful groan as that person slowly got up. "What the...where the fuck am I?" Zaku groaned.
"I do not know Zaku, just get Kin up now!" Dosu ordered, getting in a defensive position.
"Alright." He simply replied as he kicked the last of his companions awake, and took one of his bandaged arms out of its supports and held it in the direction of the other people.
Kin quickly dragged herself up from the wall and looked around. "What kind of shithole have we turned up in now?" She asked.
"That's what we're trying to find out." Temari states.
"'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what the fuck 'ave we got 'ere then?" (Imagine a English chav's voice if you know one, and sorry for the writing, it's the way he talks XD) A voice came from the shadows, everyone that was awake turned quickly towards the voices direction and pulled out whatever weapon they get their hands on first and was ready to attack whoever that sneaked up on them without them noticing. "My, my, my, aren't we all fucking feisty, good thing I copped a feel from the girls beforehand." The voice says sounding amused.
"What did you say!" Ino yells, absolutely furious at the thought of being groped whilst being unconscious.
"I'm going to kill this bastard." Temari says with murder in her eye.
"Ha! Shit, only joking mate, I didn't fucking grope any of ya." The voice said, the person stepped forward from the shadows to reveal a boy in his early to mid teens. The boy had light blond hair and electric blue eyes that seemed to slowly change to a fiery red and back again, he also had a constant grin on him that would be nice if he didn't look like a psychopath, (What can I say, I like nutters) he was also about average height and medium built. He wore all black clothes that consist of an oversized hoodie with sweat pants and ninja sandals and was wearing a leaf Shinobi headband with a black cloth and had patches of mud and blood on his torn clothes. The boy spoke again with a bigger grin on his face "...but I did take a bitchin peek at ya lovelies and whatnots girls, and I must say thank the fucking devil or lord for having some of you kiddies are still hairless at the moment!"
"That's it! You're dead!" Temari yells, lifting her fan and waved it at the boy, the people in-between the two quickly grabbed those still unconscious and jumped out of the way.
"Shit! Not the face!" The boy yelled, whilst covering his face with his arms. Blood splattered in all direction when her wind Jutsu hit him and sent him flying back into the shadows.
"Well that's strange." Kankuro says with a grin.
"What is?" Temari asks.
"It's usually Gaara that kills first." He replies.
Temari was about to reply but both of them noticed how unusually quiet the room was now; they looked at the other occupants in the room in the room and noticed them looking at a spot close to where the boy was. Looking they noticed a large puddle on the floor of the boys blood, only just realising the most obvious thing that would get everyone's attention, the blood was a dark yellow and bubbling, the blood quickly stopped bubbling and tuned black.
An insane laughter can from the shadows that made everyone jump, by now everyone that was still knocked out were waking up to that insane laughter. "That. Was. Fun! That move sliced and diced me! Anybody else want ta take a shot?"The boy asked stepping out from the shadows unscratched, apart from his clothes with a big smile on his face.
"Who...what are you?" Tenten asks.
"Wait...I recognise ya, 'ave we met somewhere mate?"
"...Yes...but-"
"Wait! You know who this guy is?" Sakura asked.
"Who is this asshole?" Ino yells.
"His name is Ryuu Rama...He graduated from the academy the same time as me and Tenten and became an honorary student under a man called Nobu Kawachi and formed Team 13." Lee said sounding a little frightened when he saw him. "He went missing with the other team that graduated at the same time as us about a year ago on a joint mission."
"Wait...Nobu Kawachi? Why have I heard that name before?" Sakura asked.
"He was famous in the last Shinobi war for finding potential fighters anywhere; he really turned the tide of the war along with the Forth Hokage." Lee explained.
"...Lee...'oly shit mate, ya really 'ave gotten ugly 'aven't ya! Although...'as it been a year? It feels like a lifetime 'ere." Ryuu grins at him. "Oh, and thanks for reminding me about Nobu...that bastard went missing awhile back...ah fuck him, so anyone got any food?" Ryuu asks.
"Aww food! I haven't eaten in ages!" Choji moans.
"Fucking 'ell mate! Ya look like ya can feed a large village for a month." Ryuu yelled and everyone that knew Choji's weight sensitivity cringed when they heard that.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean!" Choji yells at Ryuu whilst charging at him to grind his bones to dust.
Ryuu stood there and raised his hand quickly in the direction of Choji and waved his palm, making Choji collapse and scream in shock. "Choji!" Ino yelled, as she reached out to him she got a large amount of static shock and yelled in surprise.
"Who else wants ta try me?" Ryuu smiles, when said, the Sound team walked forward. "Ok then mates, 'ave at it!"
When those words came from his mouth, Dosu nodded at his other teammates and they sprung into action. Dosu went to the left and charged at Ryuu, Zaku went right and held his arm out ready for action, while Kin stood in-between them and threw several needles at Ryuu. Ryuu smiled and charged straight through the needles towards Kin and tackled her into the wall, leaving everyone else shocked that he ran through the attack rather than dodge or block them. Ryuu lifted Kin by the neck agents the wall, Zaku quickly pointed his hand at Ryuu to attack, but Ryuu looked at him and waved his unused hand at him making small patches of fire come from nowhere on Zaku.
Zaku screamed in shock and pain, he quickly started to pat himself down, trying to put the flames out. "Is he nuts? He just ran through an attack without a second thought!" Sakura yelled.
"It's understandable, yet crazy at the same time." Shikamaru mumbled, gaining the others attention. "Those two were ready to attack if he dodged or blocked the attacks, and they were going to hit hard, but they didn't think that someone would go straight through the attack, and that took them by surprise."
"But how is he able to use fire without doing any hand signs?" Ino asked, still checking on Choji.
"It could be a Kekkei Genkai." Sikamaru says.
Ryuu let go of the now very weak Kin and turned to Dosu, he was about to wave his arm but stopped, he then started laughing. "Looks like I'm no longer your problem." Ryuu laughed, making everyone confused.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Dosu asked, trying to think of a plan to defeat him.
"There are two...no, three coming." Ryuu smiled.
"Three what?" Naruto asked.
"Something that you should fear right now." Ryuu smiled, making everyone curious and nervous at the same time. "I like to call them Yami*."
"Yami? What the hell is a Yami?" Naruto asked.
Suddenly, a section of a wall on the south side wall exploded; there was enough lighting that they could see something black could be seen in the smoke (Which is a bad thing since most of what they see is black). "That's a Yami." Ryuu stated, quickly walking into the shadows.
Everyone got into a defensive stance, not too sure what to expect, then it happened, the 'Yami' shot out at them in incredible speed. The Yami wasn't a creature; it was just a being of black smoke, no physical shape could be seen under the smoke, (imagine a drawing of a black cloud) and it quickly consumed Dosu who stood alone in the middle and a horrified scream came afterwards. The Yami then shot towards the roof and hovered there, and Dosu was nowhere to be seen.
"What the hell is that thing?" Sakura screamed, not sure on what else to do.
Zaku finished in getting rid of most of the flames and pointed his arm at the Yami. "It's just smoke! And I'll blow it away!" He yelled, and then the floor behind him exploded, making him loose balance as another black cloud emerged and consumed him.
Everyone else was quicker to react and threw and weapons, some with explosive tags on or cast long ranged Jutsu's at it, not caring if it killed Zaku or not. The attack seemed to work as it since the cloud got smaller rapidly until it left nothing but Zaku on his knees with his face looking down at them. "Hey! You alright?" Kiba yelled, as everyone looked but didn't let down their guard on the other one.
Zaku didn't respond all he did was stand slowly with his face still looking down at them; he slowly removed his other bandaged arm from its support with sickening snaps and cracks. "Zaku?" Kin said, slowly getting up from the floor.
A grin could be seen on Zaku's face as he lifted it, and scaring everyone that looked at him, his face was now deathly pale, almost gray, while his eyes were blacker then anything they've ever seen. He quickly raised his arm and pointed it a Kin and let out a war cry and sent a sound wave at her, crushing her into the wall by the force, he then pointed his other arm at the others. Everyone quickly stopped paying attention to the Yami and started to dodge Zaku's attacks, Neji activated his Byakugan to be ready for an attack.
He was then shocked by two things, one, Zaku's chakra wasn't human anymore and was running over triple capacity at least. And two, he knew where they were, Neji would worry about the later after the threat was over, he quickly got into his Gentle Fist stance, but Zaku did something that was too insane, even in his current state, he attacked Gaara.
Gaara stood there, slightly surprised by the action because he only just managed to hit his sand armour, Gaara grinned like he did whenever he got excited. Gaara lifted his arm towards him and sand shot towards Zaku, which he sent away by shooting his sound wave at it, but Gaara's sand quickly formed again and wrapped around Zaku's arm. Zaku grinned and somehow was managing to break in arm free from the sand by force alone, Gaara had a sadistic smirk. "You're strong, and you'll make me feel alive!" He yelled crazily as he closed his hand and crushed Zaku's arm that still remained in the sand.
Zaku didn't react and just laughed as the sand around his arm exploded; it exploded because Zaku sent a sound wave through what remained of his arm, causing an explosion of pressure. Zaku looked at his arm and everyone could see black smoke come from the wound, Zaku quickly raised his other arm at Gaara, but Gaara covered his head and crushed it, causing the black smoke to disappear as he dropped dead, beyond recognition.
Everyone was scared and relieved at the same time, they quickly remembered that there was still another black cloud in the room and saw that it still remained near the high roof.
"Wait...didn't that Ryuu guy said that there were three?" Shikamaru asked aloud, and on cue, Ino scream and everyone saw that another Yami was trying to consume Choji, but Choji was much better now and kept on pulling away from the Yami when it tried to grab him. "What the? They can physically touch you?" Shikamaru said, and everyone attacked the thing with everything that they've got.
They realised that it did actually got smaller when they attacked the cloud, when it went to half its original size it grabbed Choji's arm and swung him with enough force that it sent him flying into the wall hard. It quickly flew into the hole so that it doesn't die as the other Yami quickly followed. After that, Shikamaru and Ino quickly went to the unconscious Choji's side.
*Yami, it means Darkness.
Sleepless D: I'll leave it there for now, I was nice enough and let the minor characters die in the first chapter, if you're wondering where they are and what this is all about, the next chapter will explain a little. Peace out.
