Sasuke had been traveling for half a day when he stopped at a village to gather information.
"Excuse me" he asked an elderly couple "but do you know the way to Silent Hill"
The couple gave odd looks at him, looks of fear and regret.
"Why are you going there son?"The man asked him
"I am looking for an object that was taken from me" He lied, he couldn't jepordize the mission
"Well then leave the object behind" the old man continued "It's not worth it." the man retreated into the safety of his home.
"Forgive me husband young one.He has suffered from strange things ever since he went to Silent Hill" The woman apologized."You can get to Silent Hill by traversing that moutain. It's a short walk, only about an hour or two. but people say that strange creatures lurk in the trees"
Sasuke shivered, and for no reason, he checked to see if he had Kunai and Shuriken.
" I wish you good luck on finding your friend" She gave him a small bag of rations that included some bread, a canteen of water and small chunks of fruit.
Sasuke thanked them and he wondered," how did she know I was looking for someone?
He began his hike up the moutain. Thankfully, the sun was still up, and would set in about 6 hours.On his way up, he thought to himself.
"Why would any one want to bring Sakura to such a strange place?Either way,Sakura...I hope your alright..."
Sasuke entered a small cove of dead trees.Even though no leaves where there to cover the sun, the darkness still was everywhere.
"What is this strange feeling?Why am I so hesitant to enter"
He thought about Sakura. If she was alright, if they (who ever they was) had hurt her in any way.He finally found the courage and entered the trees.With a Kunai ready in his right hand, he kept his pace at a moderate speed, he knew he should't rush, but he wanted to get out of this thicket as quickly as possible.
A bush mad a quick sound and Sasuke whirled around to see if it was just the wind or some creature.It turned out to be neither.It was his imagination.
"Get a hold of yourself Sasuke.Nothing is going on, it's just a thick forest is all" he busied himself by practicing foccusing Chakra in his hands.He knew that without practice, he'd never be able to do the Chidori more than twice.
All of a sudden, an unnamed fear leapt from the bushes and lunged at the ninja.Saskue swung around and stabbed the creature with his kunai, but for some odd reason, even though it was losing much blood, it still did not ciese it's attack.
Sasuke could not determine what the creature was.So he used his plan B.He made the appropriate hand signs and focused his chakra to his chest.
"Katon: Gokakkyu no Jutsu!" Fire suppressed the strange thing and it's screams echoed through out the moutain.
"What the hell was that?" he thought" some kind of demon?"
His mind traced back to Naruto and Gaara. The two people with demons sealed inside of them.
"but this isn't like their demons.This is more... not more powerfull... more bone chilling"
Sasuke didn't let his guard down for one minute of the rest of the time he was on the path.About an hout later he exited the dark grove and saw a small rest area.Within the rest area was a small store, benches to sit on and a telephone both.Sasuke made his way down the small hill and decided to rest a bit. He sat onteh becnhes outside the store.Several civilians passed himand stared rudly.but he didn't care.All he could think about now was Sakura and if she was still alive.
When the time came for him to get moving, it was about 4:oo . he still had 4 hours to reach the town by the end of his first day.After that he'd only have 2 days to retrieve his companion.
Sasuke stood up and began walking inthe direction of the place where the couple had directed him.Sasuke, even though he should have been tired , was not. His stamina was at full power because the fear gave him a constant rush of adranelin.
"Why am I so afraid?" he thought to himself "I've never felt like this before.Not even the fear of my brother stood this high.". He looked at his shaking plams, only now did he realize that the needle of the compass Neiji had given him was now spinning rapidly.and it stoped so sudden the Sasuke felt it around his wrist. the Arrow was now pointing to a sign of dark brown wood and faded golden text.
"Well, looks like I'm here.I finally made it to Silent Hill"
Which was exactly written on the sign
"Silent Hill"
