When the kids were about twenty miles away they decided to open the scrolls.
"Wow, your dad is very amazing Pesuke. Must have been so much work to give us BLANK SCROLLS!"
"Shut up Tomi. There must be something we need to do so the writing appears."
"Chakra distribution," everyone turned to Arizon, "channel some of your chakra into the scroll."
They did as they were told. Names appeared on them. They each went to the owner of the names. In the end Takeshi was with Matai, Arizon was with Pesuke, Keiko was with Tomi, and Ai was with Kohana. They switched the scrolls and channeled more chakra into the new scrolls. A letter appeared
"The sacred scrolls," Matai muttered. Each group had a location mapped out on one scroll and and instructions on the other.
"So looks like we gotta steal the scrolls," Ai said, "That shouldn't be too hard, right?"
"I don't know, they have Anbu all over these areas," Arizon answered, "When we get the scrolls then we'll meet back here. Kay."
They headed to their destinations.
"K'mon Takeshi your so slow," Matai shouted to his teammate. Matai was faster than the average human being. He could go from Leaf to Sand in less than half of the three days it took normal shinobi.
"Shut up," Takeshi shouted back, "We can't all be speed crazy twigs." The two laughed and joked all the way to Konoha. Matai and Keiko were the only two people he could joke around freely, they were the only people he thought he could trust.
They sat in a tree over a large building on the outskirts of Konoha. A few men was inside. They could hear their footsteps.
"This seems to easy," Takeshi whispered to his partner.
"I know," He performed a set of hand signs, "Meseigakure no Jutsu." With that Matai was gone. The jutsu made him invisible, it also hid his scent and all signs of his chakra.
It was an easy job. All Matai had to do was faze through the wall of the building, grab the scroll and run like hell. Easy right.
He had no trouble getting through the wall or past the first few guards. He was in the room with the scroll. Too easy. Matai still held the jutsu, he was to smart to be getting cocky. He reached for the scroll, but pulled his hand away quickly just out of the reach of several kunais flying at him.
"Not bad," A man stepped out of the shadows of the dark room. His eyes were milky white, a byakugan.
More kunais headed toward Matai two got him, one in the face and one in his side. It didn't hurt much but it was enough to beak the jutsu. Matai was surrounded.
A ninja from behind him used a fire technique. Fire, a plants worst nightmare. Luckily it narrowly missed Matai and hit the opposite wall. The fire began to spread fast.
Just then Takeshi broke through the ceiling. "Grab the scroll and run!" he shouted to his comrade. Matai didn't need to be told twice. The scrolls on the other side of the wall was adding to the fires growth, and he was virtually worthless here.
Matai did as he was told. He looked back through the hole in the ceiling at Takeshi. He could out run anyone who went after him. But what about Takeshi how would he get out of there.
"GO!" He shouted. Three of the four Anbu went after Matai. 'Good' he thought 'Takeshi should be ok with one guy.' Oh how wrong he was.
Because of the Byakugan's ability the man began attacking Takeshi's chakra points. Takeshi didn't have speed like Matai, he had strength and endurance. After the attack he threw the man into the burning wall. This caused the building to collapse.
Takeshi covered his head and closed his eyes. He felt something hit his lower body. When his eyes he saw his upper body surrounded by the hole and charred wood on his legs.
He felt weak because of the chakra points that were hit. He staggered toward Konoha, thinking he was heading to clearing they had agreed to meet at. He got to the village gates.
"This isn't right..." he muttered. He passed out.
