At that moment Naruto and Company were moving through the woods, trying to find the source of the four energies.
Kiba stuck his nose into the air and sniffed.
"Anything?" asked Naruto.
"Nothing." Replied Kiba. Just then Neji bounded ahead and stood up on a rock overlooking the landscape before them.
"Neji what does your byakuygan see?" asked Shikamaru. Neji looked into the distance. And there he could see four large amounts of energy flowing across the way.
Then the other three Ninja jumped over to Neji's side.
"What is it?" asked Naruto.
"There's four of them." Said Neji. Then he extended his arm and pinted out."Over there." The four then all looked out into the direction he was pointing.
"We should split up." Said Shikamaru."And try to flank them."
"We were sent merely to investigate." Told Neji.
"That all depends on them then." Said Kiba as he bounded off and headed into the woods. Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru did the same.
Meanwhile with the four females.
The four of them stood around in a circle contemplating over their current situation.
"Well how do we go about this mission?" asked Mila Rose.
"Better question." Said Apacci."How do we even know where we are, this forest all looks the same."
"You're both overcomplicating the situation too much." Said Sung-Sun. The other two female arrancars turned to her."That village we saw was just downhill, if we keep going in that direction we're sure to find it."
"That's a great idea and all." Replied Apacci."But if you haven't noticed we still LOST!"
Halibel stood back silently as her fraccion went back and forth with each other.
"How do we even know how many enemy we may encounter." Said Sung-Sun.
"Our strength has always been in our numbers." Told Mila Rose."And besides no one can beat Maser Halibel." Then Mila turned to face her leader but found that she wasn't there."Master Halibel." she called out.
But at that moment Halibel was making her way away from the other three. Of course they were all close and cared for each other greatly, but sometimes Halbiel found their constant fighting to be annoying.
So Halibel made her own way through the woods, knowing her followers would catch up with her soon enough.
At that time Naruto was making his own way through the woods. Little did the two know that they were making their way towards each other.
Naruto kept walking and then he came to a small stream. He was pretty thirsty and he hadn't brought any water with him.
So Naruto bent down next to the stream and put his hands in the water.
Meanwhile Halibel made her way down the hill, right next to her a small waterfall that lead into a stream down below.
She could hear the water down below, but she could also hear some splashing. Something was down there. So Halibel leaned over and poked her head out to see what was down below.
And there she saw a boy dressed in orange and black cloths with blonde hair kneeling down next to the stream.
Naruto bent down and put his hands in the water and began drinking it. He took a few sips and then put his hands back in to refill. Then when he brought the water up to his face he saw something.
The reflection in the water showed the outline of a figure just behind him on the cliff. Naruto cocked his head slightly to try and get a glimpse. Then to play it off as if he didn't know he drank the water again.
Then Naruto rose to his feet and turned around, while Halibel sank back down in her hiding spot as to not be seen.
Then Halibel glanced back up at where Naruto was, and now she saw he wasn't there.
So she decided to be brave and venture down there. So she jumped down from her hiding spot and into the spot where Naruto just stood. Then she looked around and scanned the area.
Little did she know that Naruto was hiding in the bushes nearby. He slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. He glanced up to see a figure standing there.
Then Naruto took a deep breath and sprung up from the bushes bearing his knife at the figure. But then he was surprised at what he saw.
There he saw a woman with blonde hair and white cloths, the cloths exposed her midsection and part of her breasts but also covered up the lower part of her face.
Naruto couldn't resist he was certainly distracted by the woman's beauty. He felt sort of an odd attraction to her.
Naruto slowly began to stand up and lower his weapon as he did so. Halibel's hair blowed in the wind as she and Naruto starred at each other. Then Naruto slowly put his weapon away, and then he began to walk towards her.
Just then Halibel turned and ran off.
"No, wait." Called Naruto as she did. Halibel began running through the woods, to try and meet back up with her fraccion. But Naruto was behind her."Wait, stop." His voice called out and echoed into the woods.
The echoes attracted the attention of both Naruto and Halibel's comrades.
Mila Rose, Apacci, and Sung-Sun looked to each other and then headed off in the direction of the voice. Neji, Shikamaru, and Kiba did the same as they recognized it as Naruto.
Halibel kept running through the woods and then made her way into a field, as she glanced back she couldn't see Naruto.
She kept running until she made it to the other end of the woods.
"Wait." Said a voice before she could bound into cover. She turned and saw Naruto standing there."Don't run off." He said. Halibel did not run off this time but stayed and starred Naruto down as he came closer to her."It's alright." He assured her."I'm not going to hurt you."
Naruto now stood only a few feet away from her. At that time Halibel's fraccion and Naruto's fellow ninja were on their way.
Halibel and Naruto continued to look each other over. At that time in the bushes right behind them Halibel's fraccion had arrived.
"There's Master Halibel." Said Sung-Sun.
"Wait." Said Mila Rose."Who's that she's with?" The three women then peered in and saw Naruto standing before her.
"It's a man." Said Apacci. At that moment Naruto got closer and closer to Halibel. He reached his hand out to her. Halibel continued to look at Naruto.
Just then there was a rustling sound coming from behind Naruto. Then suddenly Kiba, Akamaru, Neji, and Shikamaru appeared on the scene. They all walked over and crowded Naruto unaware of Halibel's presence.
"Naruto." Said Shikamaru."There you are."
"What were you yelling about?" asked Kiba. Naruto tried to respond but was continuously cut off by his comrades. The group continued to bicker amongst themselves. But then slowly they turned their attention from Naruto as they noticed the presence of another.
All four boys looked over gaping at Halibel.
"Who's that?" whispered Neji to Naruto.
"She'd a woman I found in the woods." Told Naruto as he shook his friends off him and slowly walked towards Halibel."Don't act to rashly you'll scare her."
"Step aside." Said Kiba as he pushed past Naruto.
"What are you doing?" asked Naruto as Kiba walked past him. Kiba turned back to the rest of his group.
"Watch boys." He said with a cocky smile."Because Daddy's going to work." Then Kiba turned and with great swag walked to Halibel.
"What's he doing?" said Naruto as he stood back with Shikamaru and Neji.
"This is not going to be good." Said Shikamaru. Neji sighed.
Kiba then approached Halibel. Unlike Naruto he was approaching her very quickly.
Then he stopped and stood only a few feet away from her. Then Kiba reached out to her. But then something happened, it happened so quick the ninja were taken by surprise.
One minute Kiba was standing there, and then the next he was standing there with a knife at his throat.
He looked down to see a short woman with blue hair, a horn on the side of her head, and two differently colored eyes pressing a knife against his throat.
Looking beyond her he saw two other figures standing next to the blonde one from before. Two more women, one with dark skin and the other had green hair with long sleeves.
But at the moment Kiba's thoghuts were on the one before him. But he did not show fear he merely gazed down at her.
"What the hell." Said Shikamaru as he Naruto and Neji had observed the three come out of nowhere.
"Did you encounter them as well?" asked Neji to Naruto.
"No I've never seen them before." Replied Naruto. Then the three boys stood back to try and analyze the situation.
"What do you think we should do?" asked Shikamaru to Neji. Neji looked to Shikamaru, the two must now put their heads together and work on this, but it didn't seem like there'd be a good outcome.
They had four women before them, one holding a knife to their comrade neck. Any move they might make to help him might just as well get him killed.
Neji and Shikamaru looked to each other nervously, neither one able to think of something.
"We're so fucked." Said Shikamaru to Neji and Naruto.
