Chapter four.
Sasuke glared at the newcomer. The newcomer looked around at the others with narrowed eyes, and then turned to Kakashi and Gai.
"These are all Genin. Are you trying to insult me?"
Gai's eyebrows twitched and he said,
"These are no ordinary Genin! They are all stronger then you! They are in the Spring time of Youth!"
The man stared at Gai and shook his head and commentated,
"What a strange guy."
The man looked again at Sasuke and asked,
"Do you think he's strange, little dragon?"
Sasuke didn't reply, but withdrew a Kunai. The man chuckled and asked,
"So, you want to play Ninja with me. So be it, I shall humour you, little dragon."
Suddenly, he vanished and Sasuke looked about, his Sharingan activated.
"Behind you, little dragon." Came a light tenor voice from behind him. Sasuke turned in time to receive a punch in the face. He hit a snow bank and sat up, glaring at the man. Just then, Neji appeared in front of the man and attempted to use his Jūken (Gentle fist.) on him. The man chuckled and dodged every punch that Neji leveled at him. He then disappeared, leaving Neji looking around wildly for him. Sasuke stood up, also looking about. He heard a light chuckle from above him as a snowball hit him on the head. Sasuke scowled up at the man. He was playing games with them!
"What's the matter, little dragon, don't you want to play ninja anymore?" The man asked, his eyes glittering.
"I have a name!" Sasuke growled, annoyed at being called 'little dragon'.
"Oh?"
"Uchiha Sasuke. What's yours?"
The man blinked and said lazily,
"Takeya."
He then did a few hand seals, though carefully hidden from Sasuke's line of sight, and said,
"Koori genkaku no jutsu!" (Ice illusion technique) Sasuke blinked as he saw snow falling heavily from the sky. Sasuke then felt himself falling asleep. He shook his head, trying to dispel the Genjutsu. He saw the man, Takeya, appear in front of him, holding what appeared to be a piece of ice the shape of a sword.
"Now, you won't be able to fight with the genjutsu activated. I'll kill you first, little dragon." He then held the sword high, but paused as Sasuke suddenly vanished.
"What the?" He said, looking about and then seeing that Kakashi had taken Sasuke before Takeya could harm him.
"You saved his worthless life? How pitiful."
Kakashi looked at Takeya calmly and said,
"You will not hurt any of my comrades."
Sasuke sat up, the effects of the genjutsu wearing out since Kakashi had dispelled it. He glared at the man and stood up. Takeya smirked at them and opened his mouth to speak when he paused, his face blank. A second later, he looked at them and said,
"Sorry, I have to go now."
He then looked at Sasuke,
"I hope we can play again, little dragon."
And with that, he disappeared. Neji came forward and scanned the area with his Byakugan. He then turned to them and shrugged,
"He isn't anywhere to be found."
Sasuke swore and turned back to the fire. Sakura was frowning,
"Is it just me, or did that guys face go blank for a second before he went."
Hinata nodded and said,
"That may be the reason he left."
Kanzuho snorted and said,
"I bet it has something to do with Naruto."
Silence.
"We should get going. We must save our comrade in need!" Lee shouted, waving a fist in the air enthusiastically. Tenten sighed and turned away from the thick eye browed boy as Kanzuho chuckled softly.
"Come, we must rest for now, and finish the climb tomorrow." Kakashi said.
"What if they killed Naruto by that time?" Lee asked.
"No, they wouldn't of. Extracting someone's Chakra like that is a lengthy process. It could take several days, or even weeks, depending on the persons Chakra level."
Lee blinked and then shrugged, not really understanding. Kanzuho yawned as he stretched.
"Just get some sleep; we'll finish the climb tomorrow."
Kiyomi waited impatiently for Takeya to arrive. When he did, he was humming softly to himself. She raised and eyebrow,
"Playing, where we?"
"Of course, Master. I was playing ninja with a little dragon."
"That's nice, now deal with him." She commanded, pointing at Naruto. She had Daiki make a potion that kept the boy asleep for the entire journey. It freaked her out a little bit when he was glaring at her with hard blue eyes that seemed to see right through her. She hoped that he would wake for the extraction process, as it was a long and painful process for the victim. And she enjoyed their suffering.
She wasn't going to start the process tonight, she was too tired, and it was a long and tiring process. If she was not careful, she could kill herself. She also had to make sure that she did not absorb too much Chakra at one time; otherwise she could die that way as well. It was a tricky process, but it would be worth it. From this extraction, which could take weeks, she would have the Kyubi's Chakra, and that will make her the most powerful Ninja in the world. She would kill of all high ranking Ninjas and make herself the world ruler.
She liked that thought. She made sure that she had servants around all entrances so that they would alert her to the presence of those bloody Konoha Nin.
She yawned as she climbed into the bed in the simple room she had here. She didn't like it, but for now, this room would have to do until she was world leader. Over the years she had been collecting all that Chakra in preparation for absorbing the Kyubi's chakra. And she wouldn't let anything stop here, especially a group of half-witted Konoha Nin!
She fell asleep, happy that all her preparations were finally over, and she would soon be all powerful.
Kiyomi woke up with a start. She blinked sleep from her eyes and sat up. She frowned at the dream she had, but she couldn't remember it. She stood up, and got dressed. She felt rested enough to begin. She walked out of the room and went down several corridors. In one of the corridors, she saw Takeya standing guard of the cell that Naruto was being held.
"Is he awake yet?"
Takeya shook his head. Kiyomi swore, how powerful was the drug that Daiki gave him?
"Bring him out, we're starting."
Takeya saluted smartly and opened the door. Naruto had been placed on the floor without any blankets or anything. She hoped he would be able to survive the extraction so she could absorb all chakra and then kill him with his own power. She smiled; she liked doing that, killing someone with the power that they trusted.
Takeya went in and picked the boy up, and then looked expectantly at Kiyomi. She nodded and went off, Takeya following her.
She led Takeya down several corridors, which were all uneven since they were natural caves, to the extraction room. She went in to find that her followers had been busy preparing the machine. It had two main parts; one where Kiyomi laid and one were the victim laid. The beds were designed to hold both people down. There were numerous wires connecting the two beds together, and the two beds had wires that were to be strapped to both her and Naruto to extract/absorb the chakra. The room was not that large, only large enough to contain the two beds and half-dozen workers that stood by a bunch of control panels that checked the life signs of the two and also controlled the Chakra absorption rate.
Daiki was at one of the control panels and looked up when Kiyomi and Takeya entered the room. He wore clothes similar to Kiyomi, but his were blue, not black. He wore an ANBU mask, so you couldn't see his facial features. He was formally an ANBU who decided to join Kiyomi as she promised him power. He was the poisons expert, and therefore, very useful to Kiyomi to paralyze her victims without them realizing it. His hair was an indigo colour that was cut close to the scalp.
She nodded at them and then continued on his task. Kiyomi turned to Takeya and said,
"Put the boy in the machine."
Takeya nodded and Kiyomi watched as he put Naruto on the bed. He took off his top to reveal his torso and the seal. Kiyomi approached, curious.
"This must be the seal that seals that fox. Interesting."
Takeya nodded and strapped Naruto down, and then attached the thick wires to Naruto's head, arms and his chest. The then added an extra wire to the seal, so the chakra could be extracted directly. Naruto then stirred and opened his eyes. He looked about groggily and asked,
"Where the hell am I?"
Kiyomi chuckled and he glared at her. She suppressed the shiver that his eyes always gave her.
"You're in my lab, and I'm about to start extracting your chakra. I'm glad you're awake, as it's going to be painful to you, and I like seeing people in pain."
Naruto glared at her and called her a "Bitch."
She laughed out loud at that as Takeya looked surprised. No one had the courage to call her things like that, so it struck her as funny.
She then turned away from Naruto and said,
"Be prepared, boy. This is going to take a while."
What do you think? Review!! Or Kiyomi will come for you!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry, having an evil moment...
