Shino stood and faced his enemy. He didn't have much strength left, and his companions were occupied with some of Orochimaru's other minions. The Sound ninja was holding a large bolder above his head. Shino readied his insects. This would be his last attack, then he would be out of chakra.
"This is it, goodbye Leaf ninja!" The Sound nin yelled, hurling the rock towards Shino at top speed. He tried to make a shield of insects, but his body seized up. "This is it," He thought. "This is where I die." He heard Naruto call out from where he had been fighting. Naruto had apparently finished fighting his Sound nin, as did Choji, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Hinata. He sprinted over and pushed Shino over. He was just a few seconds too late, and the rock connected. Fortunately, it only hit his forehead, instead of his whole face. Unfortunately, the rock hit him hard, causing an audible 'THWACK'.
"Shino! Shino, are you okay?" Shino heard someone yell. His friends' faces appeared above him. 'I guess someone else bat that Sound ninja.' Shino thought. His friends were talking to him, but their voices sounded echo-y and distant. His body was numb, and he couldn't move or talk. Eventually, he couldn't keep himself conscious any more, and blacked out.

A/N: Alright, here's a prologue. It's happening during those pre-shippuden filler episodes. I don't own any of these characters. Oh, and for why Shika and Choji are there, I wanted to. So deal with it. If people want to read more, I'll be uploading more. But having some mis-adventure ideas would from you all would be a big help! Please tell me what you think, enjoy!
