Time Rescuers Team!
Chapter 2
Naruto and Sakura were falling down a strange tornado, they were screaming out of shock, they didn't expect this to happen.
The fall lasted for few minutes till a sight of a town in a night appeared slowly around them as they fell on the ground harshly with a loud soft thud , puffing dust around themselves.
"Oww, that hurts" said Naruto, rubbing his sore back while Sakura coughed from the dust, waving it away to clear her air.
They both were closing their eyes to protect them from the dust till Sakura found the chance to open hers, not so surprised by what she saw, it was just a normal street side behind the buildings.
"Whah? I thought that things will be more interesting" said Naruto with anit if surprise, with a sad look on his face.
"Yeah! Because we're traveling to the past not the future, Agh! Naruto! Just..." She was about to finish her sentence till an explosion appeared suddenly and some screams behind the buildings in front of them.
"Huh! Naruto!" She alarmed her teammate, making him stand up in alarm too.
"Wakatebayyo!" He was replying while getting ready to run before she took him by his shoulder, stopping him ,making him look at her in confusion.
"What?" He whispered to her, trying not to get more worried about the situation that was there.
"We can't just jump there with our forms" She said, shocking her head.
"Why not?" He asked when another explosion arises as so people's screams.
"Because that may cause time fragment" She said in finale.
Naruto didn't understand what's meant by time fragment, giving her a confused look.
She sighed and rolled her eyes, placing her palm on her head.
"Time fragment means confusion in time, you know?" She explained, it took time from him to understand but when he did, he was the first one to transform.
He understood the situation, transforming into a young boy in his age or older, having brown hair and dark brown eyes with a stripeless face, his clothes were similar to a normal villagers clothes.
Sakura was the second to transform, transforming into a girl in her age or older, with brown hair but in a darker tone, fuzzier manner and a longer length, she let her green eyes as well, her clothes were as so as Naruto but with a little bit of good fashion.
"Let's go" Naruto said, not wasting anytime as he began to run towards the place of the events.
In the mean time situation, there were explosions rising and exploding in some specific places in the poor place, making the villagers run for their lives or scream or run to grab their children.
Then there was a man hidden behind a hood who seemed to be one of Danzo's men, he stood on a roof of one if the buildings, it looks like that he was searching for something, he was doing so till he caught the sight of some shadow running in the narrow streets, he knew that this was his target.
He put his hand out in the air, letting his hands transform into something weird that looked like a tube, which was a canon that shot an explosive material on the target, hitting it, making him get a bit hesitant before he collected himself fast, watching the situation, carefully.
It took moments to see the actual event that the target was still running and alive, not affecting the Root shinobi by anything or that what the Root shinobi thought.
Naruto and Sakura were running to the place and stopped by a huge hole that was made by one of the explosions, and judging by the smoke that rose from it, it seems that it was blown a short time ago.
"Horrible" was Naruto's comment before another explosion blew somewhere that wasn't far away from their place.
Both of the young ninja projected their eyes towards the place if the explosion, running towards it.
The smoke arose from the hole, vanishing slowly and completely to reveal something in the middle, a human body.
The body was for a young boy with a black, long sleeved shirt and white pants that seemed so dusty and ruined as so his shirt and sandals, he had black hair but the color of his skin wasn't certain, it seemed pale white but with all the dust covering it, it was hard to say if it was like that or not.
He lay there motionless, looking a bit dead but the rise of his back in and out proved the opposite.
The ANBU was jumping from a building to another, looking at the boy while eying him carefully till he reached him, landing on the ground.
He stood up right, not looking at anything certain then he looked at the child.
He looked at him for along while until he walked towards him then he held him on his shoulder as soon as he reached him.
He looked right and left, adjusting if there was nobody around them and that was actual, nobody was around them.
He didn't do any suspicious until he has been sure that nobody was around then he put his fingrs on his right ear, clicking on something in it.
Naruto and Sakura were jumping towards the latest explosion, Naruto was looking at the direction with a simple frown until he had seen somebody who made his eyes widen, which was the ANBU.
"Huh? Sakura-chan." Naruto said, pointing at the ANBU, Sakura nodded to him, telling him that she has already saw him so they both landed on a building a bit far from his place.
They lowered their bodies, crouching to the middle of the house roof, making sure the root shinobi doesn't see them.
"What made him stop?" Sakura whispered, looking at the root shinobi while making sure to take cover.
"I don't know but we'll see" Naruto said, doing what Sakura has just did.
They both saw the ANBU holding the boy, which shocked them.
"What is he doing with him?" Sakura exclaimed quietly, having a worried look on her face.
She looked at Naruto for an answer but she was a bit afraid when she saw that furious look on his face then she looked at the ANBU and looked at Naruto again when he jumped to the building near the ANBU quietly.
"Naruto!" She tried to keep him in his place quietly but she was too late.
Naruto landed without the ANBU realizing him while he was talking to somebody.
"I've got the target, what is the objective now?" He was asking somebody over the ear-phone and it seemed that he got an answer when he said "hai" and left.
Sakura was watching the situation, getting shocked when she saw her teammate jump in his original form, forming a rasengan in his hand while yelling at the ANBU.
The root shinobi realized Naruto and jumped away, skipping the hit of his rasengan that hit the ground and ran with Naruto behind him.
"Wait!" Naruto yelled, forming another rasengan and throwing it at the root guy.
The root guy stopped, raising his arm in front of his body as it began to transform into the same form of the tube it did before.
"Nani?" Naruto thought in surprise when the root guy's hand shot a rocket at Naruto.
Naruto went furious, trying to dodge it but failed as it hit him.
The root guy lowered his hand, assuming that everything is better when he suddenly felt something that caught him from behind, which was Naruto.
"I gottcha" he yelled, aiming his fist to the root guy's face when he caught it fast, throwing Naruto away.
Naruto flew away and hit a house, nearly destroying it and it nearly destroyed him, making him fall in the ground.
The root shinobi looked at Naruto then at the boy on his shoulder, thinking of something, then he began to move.
He jumped to the house next to him, stopping in the mid-way between the two houses, putting the boy on the ground gently as he made sure that he's leaning on the wall against his back, then he went jumping to Naruto, landing near him.
He walked towards him, preparing the canon in his hand to hit Naruto, then he directed it at him.
While the canon was preparing to shoot, Naruto suddenly disappeared into a puff of smoke, it was just a shadow clone.
The root guy lowered his hand, then he began looking around for Naruto when he felt something suddenly.
Turning around, he saw Naruto and in a sudden action from Naruto, the root shinobi's eyes widened and then an explosion of a rasengan exploded in the root shinobi in a blink of an eye.
Dust and blue smoke spread all over the place due to the explosion of the rasengan.
After a short while, the dust and the blue smoke cleared, showing that there was nothing behind it else Naruto getting up from the ground.
He looked everywhere for the root shinobi then Sakura landed next to him.
"Where is he?" She asked, looking for the root shinobi as well when a voice of a young boy screaming filled the air suddenly.
Naruto and Sakura were both shocked by the scream and reacted fast, running towards the place of the scream.
They ran as fast as they can and were shocked when the scream died.
"From here!" Naruto said, pointing at the place of the scream as he jumped with Sakura behind him, who was worried.
Naruto was so furious, his furiousity moved his feet to run fast, he was worried about the young child badly.
They ran and ran till they saw something that relieved them somehow.
The boy was on the ground with the root shinobi on the ground as well, clinching his wound that was caused by the rasengan.
They ran towards the boy, reaching for him, Sakura leaned to see him.
The boy was lying on his stomach when they reached him so Sakura grabbed him, rolling him to see his face, that when her eyes widened.
"This...is..."
Naruto went towards the root shinobi to check on him, finding the place around him safe, but this feeling was wrong.
Naruto was scanning him by his eyes, focusing on him by all his might and anger but suddenly something happened.
The boy was now between Sakura's arms as she was checking on him then so soon his eyes stiffened, making Sakura pay more attention to him then she smiled when he opened his eyes.
"You're okay, how are you feeling?" She asked but she got no answer from the boy who sat up slowly with lost eyes that looked in front of him then he looked around himself, confusing Sakura who got worried about him.
"Hey are you, huh?" She got surprised when she realized that his eyes widened.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked him but got no response, forcing her to search for what made the boy's eyes widen until her eyes fell on the fallen Root shinobi whose hands started to glow with a simple color around his hand, which looked like that the hand will transform.
When Sakura fully realized what happened, alerting her to warn Naruto.
"Look out!" She yelled, making Naruto turn his face to look at him but he couldn't as he heard the canon of the root man power up.
The root man was standing in his feet, holding the wound while he hit them by his canon then he fell on the ground.
The canon flew towards them, making them get alerted and throw themselves on the ground, avoiding the rocket that hit a house near them, exploding in the house.
Naruto and Sakura stood up when Sakura realized something.
"The boy!" she said, shocking Naruto who began to search for the boy hurriedly when he heard some footsteps not too far away.
He looked at the source who was the boy running away.
"He's here!" Naruto yelled, motioning for Sakura to run behind him and she did so.
The boy entered between the streets of the town, trying to daze the two around the place but his action was weak, which helped them follow him.
He looked at them then at his way, taking different twists around the place.
"Oi, child! Stop!" Naruto tried to stop the boy but the boy neglected him, keeping the way he took for running.
"We aren't gonna hurt you" Naruto tried again but the was still no effect.
"Hey! sto... LOOK OUT!" Sakura yelled, gaining the child's attention who looked at them when suddenly he hit a wall harshly, falling on the ground.
Sakura gasped, fastening her speed to pass Naruto and go towards the child.
The child hardly stood up, moaning in pain, then he turned around in shock when he felt Sakura come towards him, making him move away.
"Don't worry, we're safe." She said but it seems that he didn't believe her, going by his back away when he touched the wall, shocked by the fact that he can't escape.
"We won't hurt you" she said gently, opening her arms to show that they aren't harmful but that didn't help either, it only made things worse.
She made him more afraid, she saw it in his eyes that had a killing terrified look on his face while his body was shaking badly.
She backed away ,trying to make him feel safe but that didn't work too.
Naruto looked at the boy in confusion, he looked familiar for him of some sort.
"Oh,is this...?" Naruto thought with his eyes widening.
The boy's body was shaking badly from fear, making it hard for him to breathe until he suddenly stopped shaking, surprising Naruto and Sakura.
Their bodies flinched when the boy suddenly stopped shaking, waiting for anything to be done by him.
The boy looked at them for a while but it seemed that he didn't see them, and that was cleared better when his body swayed a little and his eyes started to close slowly.
Naruto was well prepared when the boy's eyes completely got shut and his body fell from its place, Naruto hurried to him and held him right away before falling on the ground.
Naruto laid the boy on the ground, holding his head and looking at him then he looked at Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, Is this boy...?"
"Yes Naruto, it's..." She said and stopped talking as she looked at the boy, staring at his face.
"It's Sai"
