The fourth chapter of Sky Ninja has finally been posted. Sorry for those who have been waiting, I've had a lot of stuff going on in my life now.

This chapter is dedicated to: The Dragon Blood Guard, Angelfallen, Magnus1111, and Sailorgirl772 for setting this story as their favorites or alert story.

Chapter 4 Redone

And without further to do, on with the chapter.

Daytime arrived in the Forest of Death, as the second day for the genin teams began.

Team 7 had awoken from their sleep to continue their search for a heaven scroll, which they needed to continue on in the exams.

"Come on you two, we need to get going if we want to get that scroll." an agitated Sakura said, being the only one who was up and ready while Sasuke and Naruto were still in their beds. The two male shinobi simply asked for another five minutes, but that didn't settle too well with Sakura. "You two will get out of bed in five seconds..." small tightening of the fists, "Or I will get you out myself. And believe me, you're gonna have two friends missing when I'm done."

So Naruto and Sasuke were now in the woods before another breathe could be made, worrying for their two friends. Sakura gave a little smirk and followed behind them, making sure they didn't lag off.

As the three shinobi leapt from branch to branch, Naruto took a glance behind him to see Sakura in an extremely pissed-off mood. Frightened that he eyes would meet with him, Naruto quickly turned back to his front.

"Hey, Sasuke." Naruto asked his Uchiha team mate.

"Yeah dobe?" he replied the usual way.

"Did you notice Sakura is a bit more...forceful than usual." Sasuke also took a glance back to see the angry face that the pink haired kinouchi was wearing. His eyes met with Sakura's, and instantly, he turned back a bit nervous.

Quickly returning to his old self, "So? What of it? It just means that she's getting tougher. Which probably means that she's finally stopped gawking over me." smirking at the thought of one less fan girl in his life. His smirk left quickly when he sensed something amiss. "Everyone stop!" the three reacted quickly by landing on a branch in a crouching position.

"What is it Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"Someone is near." The three began looking around, wondering who, or what, it could have been.

(Hokages Tower)

"So you all have nothing on the subject at hand." spoke the Third Hokage, seated at his desk. All the leaf jounin that were apart of the exams, or were teachers of shinobi teams, were present to discuss about a certain group of ninja.

"No Hokage." spoke up Asuma, teacher of team 10, "We never heard of these, 'Sky Ninja' or even a village of that matter." the Hokage was not satisfied with this answer.

"Nothing? Not one of you have heard anything related to this Sky Village? Myths? Legends? Rumors?" No one answered, "Has anyone at least seen them before the exams, or even how they fight?"

"All of our students had seen them before during the first part of the chunin exams," said Gai, the well known green beast of Konoha. The Hokage was glad that they were finally getting somewhere. "My students reported that these three had easily bypassed a genjutsu that they themselves did not notice, aside from Neji. Also, Neji said that one of them said something about himself. The ninja was absolutely correct, even though he never even met Neji in his life."

"Well then, it appears that one of these shinobi can read people very well, or has a good source of information." Anko looked down to the floor as she heard that statement. "Anyone else had their students report to them?"

"Yes sir." Asuma raised his hand, "Ino said that one of them gave her and Shikamaru some sort of advice on their fighting. Like for example, telling Shikamaru to stop being lazy."

The Hokage merely smiled at this, knowing just how unmotivated that shinobi was.

"Sakura told me of one as well." Kakashi walked up to show himself, "She said that one of them had encountered them and was acting rude, and writing stuff in some notebook about 'first impressions', which from what I heard about these impressions, they pretty much hit them on the nail." everyone either smiled or looked astonished by this ninja's feat. "And I myself had encountered one of them in the village." everyone was now listening intently as to what Kakashi had to say, for none of them had seen them yet. "The shinobi was reading a book like myself at the time."

"Please, tell me it wasn't the same book." Kurenai said, rubbing the bridge of her nose now.

"No. In fact, when I looked in the book, it had no pictures. Instead there were markings all over the pages, I couldn't read it at all, but it seemed that he could perfectly." he adjusted his forehead protector as he watched the Hokage put all this information into his mind.

"Does anyone else have anything to say about these three mystery ninja?" the Hokage looked around seeing no one reacting. "Very well then, if your teams reach the tower with the needed scrolls, please have them report to you and then report to me. We need to find out if these ninja are friends or foes to Konoha. You are dismissed."

All jounin began exiting out of the office when the Hokage called out, "Anko." the snake jounin turned to her name, "I need to see you for a moment." she nodded and remained in the office as everyone else left.

After the door had shut, the hokage placed another silence jutsu upon the room. "The ninja that seemed to have read Neji perfectly, he read you too, didn't he?" a long paused was set between the two, but Anko broke in a worried tone.

"He knew about him, Hokage. He even knew what kind of jutsu I could use. If-If I had let him write more, he would have probably had my life story down." Anko, the most toughest female jounin in Konoha, almost broke out into tears.

"Anko." The Hokage stood up and walk over to said female, "I know you're still trying to recover from it, and I know I can't experience your pain, but I need you to be in control of yourself. These ninja could use that information against you if they are enemies. Also, I'd like you to keep close watches on our teams that had encountered these ninja." Anko bowed down in understanding "That is all Anko, you are dismissed." and with that, the snake user left the office.

Now the Hokage was back to the greatest foe every kage had to deal with; paperwork.

(Back in the Forest of Death, Team 7)

Team 7 were looking around to see if they could find their unexpected visitor, but saw no one. Just then, a kunai shot out from the trees directed straight at Sasuke. The targeted shinobi easily jumped the attack, landing on a higher branch. Another came shooting at him, making him jump to yet another branch that was higher, separating the Uchiha from his team.

When Sasuke landed, the hidden attacker then revealed itself, landing on the same branch as Sasuke. From the symbol on the ninja's headband, he was from the Grass Village.

Naruto and Sakura both saw the ninja and were about to head up to aid their teammate when something slimy latched onto their legs. The two looked down to see two forked tongues wrapped around their legs and were pulling them downward. Sasuke moved his attention to his team mates to see them being pulled down.

About to go down to help them out, the grass ninja leapt into Sasuke's way, "Now now, we should give them something to keep them busy too, don't you think?" the grass ninja said with a devilish smile. Sasuke merely smirked and pulled out his own kunai, and engaged the grass ninja in combat.

Naruto was now descending to the forest floor along with Sakura, and saw where the of them were heading; into a snake's mouth.

"Naruto, catch!" Naruto looked over to see Sakura throw up a kunai tied to some string. The kunai flew over a thick branch above and dropped down to where Naruto could grab it. As Naruto grabbed onto the kunai, he and Sakura had both stopped falling, but that didn't stop the snakes from ascending themselves.

"What do we do now?" asked Naruto. Before Sakura or Naruto could have thought of a way to escape, the snakes had stopped advancing, about two feet away from their legs. "What the?" down on the forest floor, another ninja had both his arms latched onto the tails of the snakes, keeping the serpents from getting their meal.

"No food for you guys today." the ninja walked a few steps over to a large root that had grown out from the ground. He placed the tails underneath the root and began tying them together. This made sure the two large snakes could not reach the two dangling ninjas. Once the tails were tied down, the ninja disappeared into the woods leaving Naruto and Sakura still hanging from a kunai and string with the snakes still pulling on their legs.

Sasuke was barely keeping grounds with the grass ninja in their taijutsu match, as the grass ninja easily avoided Sasukes kicks and jabs as if they were nothing to him. The two were now near the trunk of the enormous tree, Sasuke continued to swing his limbs at the ninja but this time like a crazy lunatic, not having any strategic form at all. The grass ninja as usual dodged the attacks, but once Sasuke stopped, the Uchiha revealed another one of his smirks. Pulling his index finger back, the grass ninja was flung back into the trunk of the tree elevated from the branch.

The grass ninja looked around himself to see that he had been tied up by wire thrown around the tree while Sasuke had been swinging around like a lunatic. "Clever Sasuke." the ninja said under his breathe and with a smile.

Wires were wrapped around the raven haired shinobi's fingers and still holding his smirk on his face. Moving his hands around, Sasuke performed what he believed to be the final attack of the battle.

"Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu!(Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique)" Sasuke shot out a stream of fire onto all his attached threads and had them leading straight for the ensnared grass ninja. When the flames reached the ninja, a cry of pain was heard from the flames.

Naruto and Sakura could not hold out much longer as the snakes were still trying to pull in their lunch.

"So you guys need any help?" the two looked up to the branch where there string was hanging from to see the same ninja who had tied up the snakes just moments ago, Seirei, with a kunai in each hand.

"You!" Sakura cried out in anger, "You left just tying the snakes down on a root!" Seirei let out a sigh and spoke again.

"Listen. I've got three options on my hands. One: cut this here thread and have you fall to your dooms. Two: throw these kunai at you to shut you up and give the snakes a little snack. And three: kill the snakes before they can eat you. Which one do you guys-"

"THREE!" the two dangling shinobi shouted simultaneously.

"I thought so." With that, Seirei then threw his kunai into the heads of the snakes, instantly killing them and allowing Naruto and Sakura to dangle freely. "Now if you'll excuse me, your friend is in need of assistance." he shot himself up one branch to another trying to reach Sasuke in time.

"What are you?" was all Sasuke could say as he saw the burnt flesh peeling off of the grass ninja's face to reveal yet another face.

"What am I, you ask." tearing away the rest of his peeling skin to show a white faced man with purple stripes along his nose. "I'm the one who is going to give you power." Sasuke instantly froze as he was sent into another world.

The world he was in was all in one color, blood red. He began seeing himself, an out of body experience, in the same position as before. Then all of a sudden the grass ninja ran towards him with incredible speeds and chopped off his right arm with a swing of a kunai. Next was his left arm flying into the air, blood spewing everywhere. Finally, the ninja plunged the very kunai which just dismembered Sasuke's two arms into his forehead, officially stopping the screams of pain and killing him.

As the raven haired ninja was watching this, he felt this horrible pain in the left of his neck. Instantly, Sasuke was drawn out of the bloodshed world and back into reality only to find the strange man's body in the same place, except for his head. His neck had extended the ninja's head right to Sasuke's neck, where the head had sunk its fangs into the Uchiha's neck.

Sasuke tried to free himself, but the attempt was useless. When Sasuke thought he was sure to die, the head was suddenly thrown back, releasing Sasuke, as the body fell off the branch and plummeting to the forest floor. But once the grass ninja's head had left Sasuke's neck, 2 tomoes and one dot formed where the bite had been placed.

Back where the grass ninja had been standing, Seirei was now, and with a clenched fist looking down to the floor. The unknown grass ninja had landed safely on his back and with a possible broken arm, but that didn't stop him from getting back up and leaving the area.

Seirei ran over to the now collapsed Sasuke and rolled him over to his stomach to see the mark that was made on the back of his neck. He pulled out his book and began reading it, "I was too late." Putting back the book, he picked up Sasuke and flung him over his shoulder.

Sakura and Naruto arrived at the scene to see their rescuer holding their teammate, who was out cold. "What happened?" Sakura asked with concern in her voice, but then quickly changed to rage, "If you had caused any harm to him, I swear I'll-" she was quickly cut off by Seirei.

"That ninja got him before I could get here. He will be alright, he just needs to rest for awhile. Find someplace safe because right now, you two are at a disadvantage if another team shows up." he stood up and began walking away from the team.

"Hold it! You're just gonna leave us?" the blonde questioned.

"Yeah." he vanished.

Sakura looked at Naruto wondering what to do next. Naruto simply picked Sasuke up onto his shoulders and nudged his head to have Sakura follow.

(Team 8)

Kiba, Hinata, and Shino were like other ninja in the forest; searching for their scroll to pass the exams.

"So, what happened again last night?" Kiba asked, trying to sum up the story that Hinata told him and Shino over breakfast that morning.

Hinata repeated, "A-Akamaru ran o-off into the woods, and w-when I found him, s-so did another ninja. He-He had gray hair and ku-kunai along his left shoulder. He-He didn't try to fight me, he-he simply... gave back Akamaru. When I was coming back, a group of ni-ninja appeared and a-almost k-killed m-me." pausing for a second remembering what they would have done to her. "B-but then he showed up again and s-saved me with just a few simple moves."

"Hmph." Kiba, not enjoying how quickly this shinobi defeated three ninja all by himself. "Sounds like those ninja you met up with were weak by a long shot. If I was there, me and Akamaru would have slaughtered them in seconds." showing his canine teeth to his team mates, as did Akamaru. Shino just shook his head while Hinata simply smiled.

Just then Akamaru perked up and turned his head to the right. Barking for a few seconds and then jumped out of Kiba's coat into the forest, again.

"Not again. What's with you Akamaru?" the team had no choice but to follow their little canine friend.

A few minutes later, the team finally caught up to the dog as he was sitting on a branch, looking over a clearing in the forest.

"There you are, you crazy dog." Kiba said walking to him, "Come on, we gotta find that scroll." Akamaru responded by walking out of Kiba's grasp and pointing his paw to a spot at the edge of the clearing, faintly barking. Where he was pointing was located a large boulder, half submerged in the earth.

On the stone sat the music player from the night before, Chichi. He was playing on his kunai, not giving a care in the world what was going on around him.

"T-That's him." Hinata whispered. "That's the ninja who s-saved me last night."

"He is?" Kiba looked astonished, pointing at Chichi, "He's the same ninja who found Akamaru when he ran off the first time."

"It appears that our Akamaru seems to be taking a liking to this shinobi." Shino said with no emotion as usual. Akamaru then turned to the other side of the clearing and began to growl.

"What is it boy?" Kiba asked, as three other ninjas jumped out into the clearing.

The ninja were from the rain village, from the looks on their headbands, ready to dispatch of their new found target.

"Heh, well well." said the ninja in the middle, appearing to be the leader of the group, "Looks like we got ourselves a prissy girl ninja here."

"Rondo, he's a guy." one of the other rain ninja whispered.

"I KNOW THAT IDIOT! I was saying it to insult him."

"Oooh. Good one." Chichi ,however, continued to play his kunai, ignoring the three and their stupidity.

"Dude, okay, stop playing that stupid music and get ready to die." the one known as Rondo pulled out from his sheath not a sword, but an axe with blood stains on the blade.

Chichi, now seeing the weapons, stopped his music playing and put down the kunai in his hands.

"You know, you can't really stop music." Chichi said calmly.

"What? What are you talking about?" Rondo lowering his guard, kind of confused.

"You can't stop music, plain as that." placing the kunai back on the string with the others on his back, "Music is everywhere. There's the birds singing in the trees, whales singing in the oceans, wolves howl their song at night to the full moon," a small group of birds started to gather on the trees on Chichi's side of the opening, "Rabbits stomp their feet to their own little beat, bees buzz their own tune," more birds gathered, "And even the tiger cries out its victory song after a kill." The group of birds that started out small, had grown into a massive flock, and they had begun to stare at the rain ninja.

"What's going on man!" Rondo looked at all the birds, who were somehow giving off killer intent of their very own.

"You can't take away music, it's apart of nature." Chichi continued with his speech "If you try to take it away. Nature gets a little ticked off." one of the ninja fell flat on his face. He turned around to see that a giant centipede had latched onto his foot. The centipede pulled him into the darkness of the forest, screaming and clawing at the ground for his freedom.

"And since nature here is basically three times larger here than it is elsewhere." a tiger, six times the size of the gray haired shinobi himself, appeared out of the forest behind Chichi, glaring at the remaining rain ninja. And to make matters worst, the tiger looked hungry, "I suggest you don't tick it off."

The two rain ninja now frozen with fear started to sweat seeing almost all the wildlife appear around the clearing, ready to have a little snack.

"Umm, guys." Chichi got the two Rain ninjas attention, as he was now leaning on one of his knees, "This is the part where you run away." the tiger then released a bone-chilling roar, which gave them the motivation to high tail it out of there.

Chichi gave a smirk of victory and stood up from his seating place. Walking over to the giant tiger, he began to pet the large beast as it purred like a little kitten.

Of course Team 8 was watching all of this, and they were now pale faced with their mouths opened wide at what they just saw.

"H-h-how did he get all of those animals." Kiba pointed to the leaving creatures still pale faced.

A scream was then heard from a small distance away from the clearing. Out from the woods came a large spider with Rondo tied up in webbing on the back of the arachnid.

"Oh, I almost forgot something." Chichi walked up to the spider, who had in its fangs, a heaven scroll which belonged to the team of rain ninjas. "Thank you very much." Chichi said politely, with a smile, "Now release him and let him run away like a, 'prissy girl ninja'." the spider released the ninja and watched as he fled once again into the forest. Chichi gave out a chuckle at the sight.

Placing the scroll in his pocket, Chichi dismissed the spider and started to fill his sack with food and plants.

"What do we do now?" Hinata asked.

"Well for one thing, if he can get animals to fight on his side like that, I suggest we either do one of the two. Leave now, or possibly form an alliance with him." Shino replied still looking at the ninja, thinking.

"I think that the ninja has already decided that for us." Kiba said in a serious tone. A few drops of sweat came down his face.

"Why do you say that, Kiba?" Hinata questioned, only to be responded by a web trapping her and her team mates.

The three were then dragged by the large spider that had just recently left the music shinobi, heading straight into the clearing. When they reached the rock Chichi was sitting on, he was just finishing up packing.

"Thank you for your help once again. You may leave now." Chichi said to the spider, tossing the arachnid a large beetle. And with that, the spider released the threads that held Team 8 to it and crawled back into the forest to search for more prey.

"So how is that we keep on bumping into each other?" Chichi asked the team as if looking for an answer. L

Looking at Shino, "You. I haven't seen you yet."

"That's probably because I like to keep my distance."

"Ah, does that mean you're a long-ranged fighter then? Or you really just like to keep your distance?" Shino did not answer. Chichi let out a long sigh and pulled out his kunai. He started cutting away the web cocoons encasing them.

After he released Kiba, Akamaru, and Hinata, Shino was all who was left. Once Chichi tore open the cocoon imprisoning Shino, a barrage of tiny insects flew out and shot Chichi across the clearing.

Chichi wiped his mouth to see some blood on his lip. "Not the smartest idea, bug boy. And so I ask you, why are you trying to attack me?"

Shino replied "You encountered my other two team mates and did not attack them, meaning that you have shown trust, and therefore, wouldn't attack me. I sensed the spider approaching us easily, but I allowed it to capture me and my team mates so we can get to you quickly and with no fuss. Also, so I could find out if you have the scroll that we're looking for. You have the scroll, and I intend to acquire it. However, the hit from my insects should have knocked you out from how close you were."

Chichi placed his hand on his forehead like he had a headache, and smiled, "Is that all? You wanted the scroll?" chuckling a bit, "You know, you could have tried a better way than just a surprise attack. Just, don't think too hard on it."

A long silence set between the two sides of the field, as Team 8 tried to find a way to get the scroll from Chichi. It took a good 5 to 8 minutes of extensive planning, but they may have gotten the perfect plan... maybe.

Hinata walked slowly up to Chichi with a blush all over her face. When she reached him, she put out her open hand and tried to speak not looking him in the eye.

"C-could w-we have the scroll p-please?"

"Sure. Here you go." just like that, he plopped the scroll into Hinata's hand and disappeared into the woods behind him.

Silence fell once again as the entire team was dumbfounded for a second time on the same day. They had just watched one ninja take out three enemy ninja without even moving from his seat, retrieving their scroll, and just like that, gave it away with only a simple and polite question. But the shinobi didn't have time to think about it for now. They had their second scroll, and needed to get to the tower ASAP.

(Team Gai)

The group of Tenten, Neji, and Lee had rejoined back together after a full 24 hours of splitting up, but all three with no scroll.

"So we haven't been able to find a second scroll. Very well then, we have another day to achieve the goal. Let's move out." ordered Neji.

The three shot up into the trees above them and moved in one direction seeing if they could find anyone with their needed scroll. Using his Byakugan, Neji found a lonely shinobi sleeping on the ground. Neji smirked at the sight, seeing it being easy picking and deactivated his Byakugan.

"Follow me. I've found something." Lee and Tenten nodded and followed their gray-eyed teammate.

When they reached their destination, they found a slumbering ninja that was very familiar in Neji's eyes, Musuko. Neji could not believe that the boy was lying on the ground asleep and completely alone. He was still angry from the first part of the Chunin exams when Musuko just opened him up like a book, and he swore he would get him back for it.

Neji, out of the act of vengence, rushed towards the sleeping shinobi, but a kunai from behind landed in front of his feet to stop his pursuit.

"Neji! What do you think you're doing?" Tenten whispered, not to wake up the ninja.

"Tenten's right." Lee said "This is too easy for any shinobi to do. Even you should know there has to be a trap of some sort." Neji narrowed his eyes and realized this as well.

Coming back to his senses, he activated his Byakugan once more to find any traps. "His gauntlets have senbon needles in them," Neji reported his sightings, "But it's not completely full."

"That's probably because he got caught in a fight." Tenten explained, "Now he's resting."

"No, it's worst than that." moving his eyes around the forest floor "The needles are his trap. They are placed all over the area and hidden very well, even I couldn't have found them without the Byakugan."

"Can you find any openings Neji?" Tenten asked, slightly worried.

"That's what makes this even harder, Tenten. I can't. Not even an opening that could fit a fly through. The only place that's safe in the area is right where he is sleeping."

Both Tenten and Lee now narrowed their eyes at the elaborate trap that this shinobi had conjured up, just to protect himself. Tenten, even though fearful a bit, was also impressed by Musuko's use of his own weapons.

"I guess, we have to find some place else for our scroll." Tenten leapt up back into the tree tops awaiting her teammates to follow.

"That ninja's flames of youth burns brightly! Even when he's asleep!" Rock Lee also jumped up to the treetops.

Neji remained down on the floor with his Byakugan still active. He would not leave until he had found an opening.

"Neji come on." Tenten urged her teammate to come with them.

"Wait! I think...I think I found an opening." Neji said, looking closer, "I have! It's right...right."

"Right here." Team Gai looked down to the sleeping ninja, who now was barely awake and with his right gauntlet pointed directly at Neji's head. The opening that Neji had found seemed to be a perfect tunnel for one of Musuko's needles to fly through and strike Neji. In a tired voice, Musuko gave his warning, "Please leave me be. I'm trying to get my rest." Musuko put down his gauntlet and closed his eyes again.

Neji remained on the floor now frozen in surprise and fear. He had been out done.

"Neji get out of there now!" Tenten said abruptly. Neji slowly stepped back away from Musuko.

As he did, his Byakugan saw that the needles were moving, as well as the opening. The opening continued to redirect itself to make sure it was pointing at Neji's head.

'This ninja is seriously skilled.' he jumped into the trees 'Far too skilled to still be a genin.' Watching a smirk crawl onto Musuko's sleeping face, Neji became even angrier at the shinobi.

(Team 7)

Naruto and Sakura had found a place to rest finally, underneath a raised trunk of a tree. It provided shelter and a place to hide. Naruto set down the unconscious Sasuke on a bed of moss which Sakura gathered around for him.

"Man, Sasuke is really heavy." Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck. With Sasuke incapacitated, Naruto and Sakura would have a hard time dealing with another team, the odds being two against three. So to remain safe, they made sure they left their hiding spot only when necessary, and acquired food and drink to last the night.

Night did eventually descended onto the forest again. A fire had been made to keep the team warm and give them light. Naruto and Sakura were around the fire, while Sasuke was still unconscious on the moss bed.

Naruto looked up form the fire to see Sakura with an emotionless face staring at the dancing flames in front of her.

"Umm, Sakura." the kunoichi looked at him sternly with anger in her eyes. Naruto was taken aback at the evil stare.

"What?" Sakura sounded a bit irked.

"Why are you so angry now. I mean, before the forest you were all happy and falling over yourself for Sasuke." this got him an even angrier stare from Sakura, "No offense, but it's true." Sakura looked back into the flames, "Well anyways, you're now all uptight and just this morning you were ready to destroy your team mates' future families. What's with the big change?"

Sakura now had a saddened look and also staring at the ground. Naruto figured this was a good time to try and comfort his kunoichi partner, as he scooted over to her side.

About to place a hand on her shoulder, "What happen-" Naruto was cut short by a rustling in the distance.

Both shinobi shot their heads up to see what the noise was. In the distance, the rustling noise was heard again. The two of them went over to the entrance of their hiding space to find out what it was. Out from some bushes in the distance, came a squirrel running frantically towards them. Naruto let down his guard seeing that it was just a harmless creature, but Sakura threw a kunai that landed mere centimeters from the rodent's face. The squirrel was so frightened that it ran off in another direction.

"What did you do that for?" Naruto asked, but was silenced when Sakura slapped her hand onto his mouth to make him quiet. Her eyes kept focus on the area where the noise first came from.

Now holding another kunai in hand, "The squirrel had an explosion tag on it. If it got any closer to us, we'd be finished." Sakura lowered her hand from Naruto mouth to let him breathe, now knowing that he would be quiet.

Once she did, three sound ninja slowly walked out of the brush and looked at their new targets. The ninja on the left was a male who had holes in his hands, the middle possessed a metallic device on his right hand and his face was covered in bandages, and the ninja on the right was a kuniochi with bells at her sides.

"So this is the team that we're after, aye Dosu?" said the left ninja.

"Yes. It seems that one of their team mates is at the moment incapable of fighting." the mummified shinobi spoke.

"This is going to be too easy." smiled the female of the sound group.

The three readied to attack Naruto and Sakura who were at a disadvantage, but that didn't stop them to prepare for a fight.

"This will be interesting." Seirei said from a far off branch that was looking over the area. He grabbed onto the handle of his enormous sword and waited for the right time to strike.

Well, it seems that both Naruto and Sakura are both going up against the sound team. How do you guys think this will end? You'll have to find out by reading my next chapter when it comes out.

As always, reviews are an extremely wanted thing for my stories, so please review.
