Chapter 3: Long time no see...eh?
"How much farther, Akamaru?" Hinata asked
"Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf" Akamaru barked back at Hinata
"15 meters!" Hinata exclaimed happily
"Hallelujah" Ino exclaimed and began to sprint faster so that she can get there before everyone else and rest her legs. They had been sprinting for thirty minuets straight and they sprinted 170 miles, now no one an say that they are slow.
"Look guys" TenTen said pointing at a sign, "Welcome to The Land of Honey" she read
"No one lives in this area, its just a dense forest..." Temari began
"Arf, Arf" Akamaru stopped abruptly and began to growl. The girls crashed into each other and fell down into a heap. They got up and dusted themselves off from the sudden stop.
Sakura heard Akamaru growling, she walked over to Akamaru and knelt down, "What's wrong, Aka?" Sakura said gently. Sakura looked over to the girls only to see that all their eyes were widen to the largest extant, she followed followed Ino gaze.
She gasped, "Sasuke-kun..."
Before...
Matsuri felt a hand rubbing her thigh, she closed her eyes preparing for the worst. Just then someone burst through the door.
"Master a group of girls has come into our territory, Master Sasuke, Master Naruto, Master Shikamaru, Master Chouji, and Master Neji, went to go intercept them and they said for you to come and control everything" The ninja said, he was on the floor with his head bowed low
Matsuri looked over the man that just saved her...for now.
"Does one of them have pink hair, another with purple-black, another two with blonde, and another with brown hair?" Lee asked
"Yes Master Lee" the man said
Matsuri turned to the guy that almost took her virginity, she looked him over, he was handsome she had to admit and the bushy eye-brows and hair made him look kinda cute, in a child-ish way, 'Lee...'
"It seems like Sakura-chan, Hinata- chan, Ino-chan, Temari-chan, and TenTen-chan really do miss you, eh Matsuri-hime" Lee smiles at her, he slid off the bed and walked towards the door.
"Guard the door," Lee said firmly, "I don't want my princess escaping". Lee walked out, the man got up and walked out after Lee closing the door behind him.
'Lee...eh? Who names their child Lee' Matsuri thought, 'and how does he know Hina, Saku, Ten, Tem, and Ino?'
"It seems like where ever Lee goes he always likes to bring company with him, eh Sakura-chan?" Sasuke smirked at the girls reaction
Sakura gasped,"Sasuke-kun..."
"Neji-nii, Naruto-kun..." Hinata mumbled
"Nice to see you too..." Naruto disappear only to reappear behind Hinata, "Hinata-hime" Naruto hit Hinata's pressure point at the back of her neck, she fell to the ground as a log? Sasuke threw shurikens at the rest of the girls and Akamaru only to have them turn into logs too.
"Kuso" Sasuke swore
"Troublesome" Shikamaru said
"You think me and Sakura-chan are those weak girls you use to know, eh Naruto-kun? Sasuke-kun?" Hinata appeared behind Naruto and Sakura behind Sasuke
"We're not" Sakura whispered harshly into Sasuke's ear
"We're not" Hinata whispered furiously into Naruto's ear
Sasuke smirked at Naruto, "Prove us wrong" Naruto smirked back at Sasuke
"Gladly" Sakura and Hinata disappeared
"A Thousand Kunais of Death" voices echoed through out the forest as-well as kunais cutting through the air
"Move out of the way!" Neji yelled, Neji began to spin creating a large circle of swirling chakra.
"Were taking you back to konoha!" TenTen declared, as she saw two of the kunais penetrate Neji's defense and hitting him in both arms, TenTen smirked, 'Good the poison should be seeping in by now'
Neji's speed started to decrease rapidly, Neji fell to the ground as a puddle of water.
"Hi TenTen" Neji's hot breath hit TenTen's ear, "You've gotten better, but...you'll never be better than me"
"You're still as cocky as ever Neji-kun, one day it's going to get you into trouble" TenTen retorted
"I think it has" Neji whispered huskily into TenTen's ear, he put his arm around her waist and spun her around to face him and pull her into his chest and held her tight. TenTen looked into Neji's white-gray tinted eyes, she saw the same emotions she saw everyday during their genin years together. Sadness, loneliness, pain, suffering; the reason she loved him so much was because of those eyes of his. They told much more than his face or words could ever tell. TenTen brought her hand up to his face and brushed a few strands of hair out of his face and put them behind his ear, she traced out the side of his face. TenTen brought her hand out and forced it across his face, she did something that she never thought that she would do. She slapped the hyuuga genius, TenTen fully well knew what she had done and he deserved every last bit of it for breaking her heart, leaving her behind, and being so god damn irresistible.
Neji smirked, "I guess I deserved that, huh?"
"Yes you deserved it all right" TenTen felt a sharp pain in her left side, her body became limp, Neji pulled her into bridal style and sprinted off to the base.
Sakura punched the ground sending an earthquake within a mile radius.
'Since when did she get this strong' Sasuke thought as he hid behind a tree, 'at least I won't get bored'
"Hiding Sasuke-kun..." Sakura asked as she punched Sasuke sending him flying into the sky, Sakura jumped to join him.
"Konoha Senpun" Hinata yelled and kicked Sasuke to the ground, only to have a bunch of Naruto's catch him in mid-air. The real Naruto and two other clones came at lightening speed at Hinata and Sakura while forming Rasengans in both hands.
Both Sakura and Hinata got hit in mid-air with the Rasengan.
The ball of swirling chakra damaged the first layer of skin on both Sakura's and Hinata's abdomen.
Naruto's eyes were red with black slits, he was angry, the kyuubi was out, and he had The Demon Fox, for what reason, the shy girl that he use to know was beating him to a pulp. But the piercing screaming from Hinata and Sakura snapped him back to reality. The Rasengan ripped through their stomachs and stopped half an inch from one of the major organ in the abdomen.
'Hinata...' Naruto thought. Hinata's and Sakura's bodies went soaring to th ground along with their shredded blood.
"Kage Bushin No Jutsu" Naruto yelled and four clones appeared. Two caught Hinata and two caught Sakura.
When the clones landed they handed Sakura to Sasuke and Hinata to the real Naruto. Naruto cradled Hinata's body softly. Sasuke looked up from Sakura's lifeless from feeling a light pang of guilt in his icy heart, Naruto looked up at Sasuke and nodded and they both sprinted off to base.
When they got to the part of the base where the infirmary, they dropped off the girls and went to the waiting area where the rest of the guys were are waited.
"How did your fights go?" Lee asked as he walked in
"Good" Naruto said
"Hn" Neji and Sasuke replied
"We didn't get to fight" Shikamaru said and Chouji nodded
"What happened?" Lee asked
"Well..." Chouji began
Flashback...
Temari ad Ino stood in the middle of the field arguing.
"No you fight Chouji and I'll fight Shikamaru" Ino yelled
"No I'll fight Shikamaru and you'll fight Chouji Temari yelled back. And this went on for say 6-7 minuets.
"They are so troublesome" Shikamaru sighed, "Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Shikamaru sneaked to Temari's and Ino's shadow and strangled them making them fall to the ground and Chouji ran over with them with his big roli poli self just for good measure.
Shikamaru picked up Temari and Chouji picked up Ino and they sprinted back to the base.
End of Flashback...
"A...wow...ok..." Lee said, "That was a waste of time"
"I know" Shikamaru nodded
