Sakura
sat quietly on top of a tree branch. she was observing the city of
the Snake, the city that was believed to be under control. nothing
seemed out of order but then again, looks can be decieving. she kept
her whereabouts concealed, she did not want to fight, to her right
sat Sasuke sitting perfectly still, you couldn't tell if he was alive
or dead, he didn't even blink and it looked as if he wasn't
breathing. there was complete silence. the people of the city moved
through with there day, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. but
everyonce and a while a man would walk from one end of the city to
the other making stops at the exact same places. the silence of the
two ninja spying was shattered by the groin of a person to Sakura's
right, a blonde headed bored ninja with marks on his cheaks that
looked like wiskers.
"Can't we just go into the city!?"
Groined Naruto.
"no, we have to observe, if there is
something strange going on, and i think there isthen we need to
report back to Hokage!" Whispered Sakura. "so just shut up
and be quiet." Sakura whispered harshly.
"Screw This!"
Naruto said loudly as he jumped from the tree and walked into the
city.
"That dumbass is gonna get us killed!"Sasuke said
in anger.
"I don't get how he even passed the exam?"
Sakura said her head in her hands. Naruto walked calmly into the city
with his hands on the back of his head. everyone seemed to ignore
him, paid no attention to him.
"Exscuse me..." Naruto
tried to say to one person, but the person paid no attention to
Naruto. a man hurried by, the man that Sasuke and Sakura had noticed.
"Exscuse me sir!" Naruto yelled to the man. the man
turned and his face was horrified. he looked away and began to run
away.
"NO WAIT!" Naruto yelled as he ran after the man.
From afar Sasuke and Sakura realized what was going on and the danger
Naruto was getting himself into.
"They are..." Sakura
said.
"Yep...Illusions, just as I had expected." Sasuke
finished. The two jumped into the city to help there
comrade.
Naruto ran
after the man, the man ran into a house and Naruto followed. as he
entered the door he was kicked in the stomach. as Naruto fell to the
ground he burst into smoke.
"Wha?" said the man who had
kicked him. he was able to look for a split second before a kunai
landed in his neck. the man fell dead. Naruto entered the door
caustisly and looked around. the room was dark and musty. the
furniture was old and warn and covered in dust, people obviously
don't stay in here. accross on the other side of the room was a door
that was slightly ajar, light could be seen comng from the crack and
two muffled voices were talking. Naruto silently krept to the door to
listen in.
"So someone is on to us?" one mad
said.
"Yes, there was a boy, who followed me, but now worry i
had Lon take care of him, infact Lon is probaly coming to the door
right now and will be back anysecond." Said the other man.
Sasuke and
Sakura had lost where Naruto had gone when they were walking into the
city,
"SHIT!" Exclaimed Sasuke "He's most likely
already dead! its no use, we will probaly be dead soon also."
Sasuke said grimmly.
"Well we just need to look, he's more
talented than you think Sasuke" Said Sakura, though on the
inside she was shouting "DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!! we are dead"
they both searched the city
looking.
Lon
entered the room.
"A;right took care of the kid and burned
the body" Lon said.
"Now why would you kill him!"
Yelled the man, he was tall and had rather short brown hair. he was
obviously the leader. "Wouldn't it make more sense to leeave him
alive, then to kill him!" He yelled.
"Sorry didn't think
of that, my bad." spoke Lon.
"It was an accident,
besides, where theres one theres bound to be more." Said the man
Naruto had chased.
"Shut up Caramon!" yelled the
leader.
"sorry Raistlin!" said Caramon lowering his
head.
"There should be more, that is if they are ninja. the
boy could have been just a wanderer, tho highly doubtful. if they are
ninja's then there will be more, i will go clear the city, his
comrades are most likly in the city as well, i will find them!"
shouted Raistlin as he got up and walked out of the room.
Sakura and
Sasuke were searching the city with no such luck, the illusions only
crowded the two ninja's. They scanned every building, and they were
empty, the city was apperently a ruse, Monster DID own the city and
was using it as a way to keep people near other citys before they
would attack. this was how they were able to strike citys so fast,
and without warning.
"No luck, we can't give up though can
we?" Sakura asked.
"As aninja we can't leave a comrade
behind. i don't think we checked that building. said Sasuke pointing
to a building in the backof the city. "Look a man is walking
out!!" Said Sasuke. the man stopped walkign and snapped his
fingers, instantly all the people in the city vanished.
"Ahhh,
so you are ninja, we killed your comrade already!" yelled
Raistlin.
