Naruto Chronicles

Episode 2: Fate worse than death

They enter the cave.

Shikamaru: *turns on the lighter* Everyone stay close. Neji, Hinata, watch for any movement. Kiba, Akarmau, let us know if you smell someone.

Everyone except Shikamaru: Right!

Akarmaru: Arf!

They continued their way through the cave.

Ino: Please don't jump scare me. Please don't jump scare me. Please don't jump scare me.

Shikamaru: This lighter sucks. What a drag.

Ino: You saying what a drag is a drag!

Shikamaru: You know what else is a drag?

Ino: What?

Shikamaru: The sound of you talking.

Ino: Screw you, Shikamaru.

Naruto: *looks at Hinata* (I need to protect her. If I let something happen to her, I'll never forgive myself.)

Tenten: (Naruto hasn't left by Hinata's side. It's like he's "glued to her." Hmm, I wonder if he likes her.) Hey Naruto, come over here for a moment.

Naruto: Ok. Hinata, I'll be right back. Please watch your surroundings.

Hinata: *blushes* D-Don't worry, I w-will.

Naruto heads to Tenten.

Naruto: What's up Tenten?

Tenten: *whispering* Tell me Naruto, why are you "always with Hinata," not that I don't have a problem with it. "I'm just curious."

Naruto: *blushing* *whispering* Well I… Umm…

Tenten: *whispering* I knew it. "You like Hinata, don't ya?"

Naruto: *blushing more* *whispering* I-I-I

Sakura: *whispering* Hey, what are you guys talking about?

Tenten: *whispering* Sakura, Naruto likes Hinata!

Sakura: *whispering* Really? "I thought you liked me." Or were you just saying that because you're "jealous of Sasuke?"

Naruto: *blushing* *whispering* I'm not jealous of Sasuke.

Sakura: *whispering* Yeah right.

Tenten: *whispering* Naruto, you do realize "Hinata also likes you."

Naruto: *whispering* Wait, she does?

Sakura: *whispering* Yeah, everyone knows that. Except you, cus you're an idiot.

Naruto: Oh… *looks down* (Wow… I am an idiot.)

Sakura: *whispering* Don't feel bad, Naruto. At least you know now.

Naruto: *whispering* Yeah, you're right, thanks Sakura.

Sakura: *whispering* No problem.

Kiba: *sniffs* Guys, "someone is here."

Akarmaru: *growls* Arf! Arf!

*Person laughing*

Choji: What was that?

Shino: Sounded like someone laughing.

Woman: *laughing* "Fresh meat!"

Kiiba: F-Fresh m-meat?!

Akamaru: *whimpers*

Shikamaru: Neji, Hinata, talk to me!

Neji: I can't find anything!

Hinata: Yeah, neither can I!

Sasuke looks to the right and he spots 3 faceless people.

Sasuke: *does hand signs* Fire style fireball jutsu!

He burns the 3-faceless people.

Ino: D-Did you get them?

A person appears behind Hinata.

Rock Lee: Hinata, behind you!

Hinata: *turns around* Gah!

Naruto: Get away from her! *tackles the person*

Naruto stabs the person multiple times with his kunai. Three more faceless people surround Neji and charges at him.

Neji: 8 trigrams palm rotation!

Neji's palm rotation sends the faceless people flying.

Kiba: Is that all of them?

Shino: I think so… For now.

Shikamaru: Is everyone alright?

Rock Lee: Yes, all of us are fine.

Naruto: *helps up Hinata* Hinata, are you ok?

Hinata: Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Th-Thank you, N-Naruto.

Sakura: *hugs Sasuke* Sasuke, that was so amazing.

Sasuke: Can you not.

Choji: Guys, over here. We found a door.

Everyone heads to Shikamaru and Choji.

Shikamaru: What a drag. This thing won't open.

Akamaru: *hops off Kiba's head and sniffs the door* Arf Arf.

Kiba: What is it boy? Did you find something?

Akamaru: *nods* Arf Arf.

Shikamaru: Neji, Hinata, do you guys see anything behind the door?

Neji: No, I don't see anything.

Hinata: I don't see anything either.

Akamaru: Arf! *scratches the door* Arf!

Sasuke: Whatever is behind that door, we need to find out.

Ino: But how are we going to open it?

Naruto: Everyone get out the way. NOW!

Naruto's shadow clone forms the rasengan on his hand.

Shikamaru: Clear out!

Everyone gets out of the way for Naruto.

Naruto: *charges at the door* Rasengan!

Naruto destroys the door.

Sakura: That did the trick.

Rock Lee: And there are lights!

Naruto: WHAT THE HELL?!

Hinata: N-Naruto?!

Everyone rushes to Naruto.

Shikamaru: Naruto, what's wrong? *looks at the bodies* Gah!

Hinata: *gasp*

Tenten: Oh my god!

They find deceased ninjas while the floor is covered with blood.

Neji: This…This is a nightmare.

Shino: Wait a minute. I think this is the same regiment that was by Lady Tsunade to capture or kill the rogue ninjas.

Rock Lee: Yeah. That's what I was thinking too.

Hinata: Who... Who did this to them?

Naruto: *covers Hinata's eyes* Hinata, don't look at it. (Those bastards!)

Sasuke: Choji, Kiba, cover me. I'm approaching one of the corpses.

Choji and Kiba: You got it.

Sakura: Please be careful.

Sasuke: *approaches a dead ninja* The smell. These guys were killed a few days ago.

Naruto: Sasuke, what are you doing?

Sasuke touches the body and the ninjas head falls off, unleashes gushing blood and a horrible smell.

Sasuke: What the?!

Kiba: Ok, not cool!

Tenten quickly turns around and she throws up.

Neji and Ino: Tenten?! *rushes to Tenten*

Neji: *places his hand on her back* Tenten, are you ok?

Naruto: Hinata, cover your nose. The rotten smell is strong.

Tenten: *coughing* I'm fine. The smell got the better of me.

Rock Lee: Guys, why isn't Sakura moving?

Sasuke: What?!

Shino: What's wrong with her?

Sasuke: *rushes to Sakura* Sakura! Sakura, snap out of it!

Shikamaru: What's wrong with her?

Sasuke: I don't know. It's like she's under some genjutsu. Sakura, it's me, Sasuke!

Naruto: Try hugging her.

Sasuke: *thinks about it* Fine… *hugs Sakura* Sakura, everything is ok. I'm right here.

Sakura: S-Sasuke? *starts crying* Sasuke! *hugs Sasuke*

Sasuke: Don't worry, everything is going to be ok. We're all here.

Leaf Ninja: H-Help…

Everyone: Huh?!

Leaf Ninja: *crawls to the kids* H-Help m-me… P-Please…

Shino: He lost both of his legs.

Naruto: Guys we need to help him.

Shikamaru: Way ahead of you, Naruto. Don't worry, we're going to get you out of here. *approaches the ninja* Everything is going ok.

A tentacle grabs the ninja and pulls him up to the ceiling.

Everyone: What the?!

Leaf Ninja: AHHH! NO! NO PLEASE! AHHH!

Blood, organs, and body parts fell onto the ground right in front of the kids.

Hinata: *trembling* Oh my god…

Hinata hugs Naruto and plants her face onto his shoulder to avoid seeing the ripped apart body. Naruto places his left hand on her back and his right hand on the back of her head.

Neji: This… This is madness!

?: *evil laughter*

Naruto: Who's there?!

?: *evil laughter* You did well against my faceless children, but let's see if you can handle my other children!

Sakura: Ch-Children?!

Demon creatures appear in front of the kids.

Demon: *horror screech*

Kiba: What are those things?!

Rock Lee: Whatever they are, they mean us harm.

Tenten: No duh!

Naruto: Hinata, stay close to me.

Hinata: Right!

Sasuke: Ugly freaks! *activates sharingan*

Neji and Hinata: Byakugan! *activates byakugan*

Kiba: Let's do this Arkamaru!

Akamaru: Arf! Arf!

Choji: Oh man, this is going to suck.

Shino: These creatures won't stand a chance against my beetles.

Swarm of beetles surround both of Shino's arms.

Ino: You scared Sakura?

Sakura: No way, Ino pig!

Shikamaru: (First faceless people, now these freaks? Man, what a drag.)

?: Kill them! *evil laughter*

The demons charge at the kids.

Naruto: *does a hand sign* Multi shadow clone jutsu!

2 shadow clones charges and takes down three demons.

Shikamaru: *does a hand sign* Shadow possession jutsu!

Shikamaru's shadow freezes 3 demons.

Shikamaru: Now Kiba!

Kiba: Fang over fang!

Kiba and Akarmaru takes down the frozen demons. 6 demons surround Neji.

Neji: Come at me, I dare you.

The 6 demons' charges at Neji.

Neji: 8 trigrams palm rotation!

The palm rotation sends them flying.

Sasuke: *kicks a demon away and spots a group of them* *does hand signs* Fire style fire dragon jutsu!

Sasuke burns them to death.

Hinata: *knocks away a demon with her gentle fist*

Sakura: Hinata, behind you!

Hinata: *turns around* Huh?!

A demon charges at her.

Naruto: Oh no you don't! *punches the demon away* Hinata, are you ok?

Hinata: Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you, Naruto.

Rock Lee kicks a demon straight into another demon.

Tenten: Hey, what the heck Lee?

Rock Lee: You are too slow Tenten. You must take down your enemies faster.

Tenten: Why you-

Kiba: Hey! Less talking, more kicking ass!

Tenten: Oh, I'll show you kicking ass! *pulls out a scroll*

She opens the scroll and it shoots hundreds of metal blades which kills multiple demons.

Naruto: Rasengan!

His rasengan sends the demon flying straight to the wall.

Sakura: Are you trying to kill us too, Naruto?!

Choji: Ballistic water wheel!

Choji rollers over a few demons, but he nearly hits Ino.

Ino: Watch it Choji!

Choji: My bad!

15 demons appear in front of Shino.

Shino: Weaklings…

Shino unleashes a huge swarm of beetles and it slaughters all 15 of them.

Naruto: Did we get them all?

Sasuke: Think so.

?: *evil laughter*

Naruto: Show yourself you coward!

Demon King: Impressive for a bunch of children, but let's see if you can defeat me! The Demon King! *lands onto the ground*
