the Man had brown hair and looked rather meak. as if he had no body strength, even though
that was the case, sasuke and sakura were sure he was stronger than he looked. two more men
walked out of the building, one was taller and look much more muscular, than the brown haired man
their features were similar, they squinted in the sunlight the same way, and they both had the
same shade of brown hair. sasuke guessed they were somehow related. the last one had a mask
covering his face and walked in a familar way. he came to stand next to the other two, and gave
a quick and almost unnoticable wink.
"good, so that idiot didn't get himself killed." thought sasuke. but he kicked himself
for being so relieved at his comrades well being. he should not be so worried for others it can
only distract from his ultimate goal.
Sasuke looked to his right at Sakura. she looked tense yet he could see the comprhension
in her face about Naruto. "good, she has not given her revalation away." immediatly thoughts
for escape started rushing through his head, so long as others did not join they outnumbered
them three on two. plus they think they have killed one of our team which will hopefully
make them underestimate us, and they dont know that one of theirs is actually ours. we could
win this so long as they are not all too powerful, but then again it is Monster, they could
be much more powerful than we hope for.
"you can give yourself in and we will only nearly kill you, or you can attempt to
fight. then you will most certainly die!" yelled the meek looking man. his mouth seemed
to curve into a sneer. "he is enjoying this too much." sasuke tought, then he smiled to
himself, but he won't when we're through with him.
"hey Raist, let me deal with em! i will take care of them no problem!" the big man
said happily. he seemed joyous at the thought of killing, which caused bile to rise in
sakura's throat. her fear twisted in her stomach like the coils of a hideous snake. she
swallowed away the taste of vomit and wiped her forehead. looking to her left she saw Sasuke
looked calm and in control. "that's what i should be like! if the enemy knows i am scared then
he has an advantage over me! but even still i am terrified, that big one looks strong!" sakura
thought to herself.
"dear brother, you may do as you please, but do not kill them, we need to find out what
know about our corporation, our master would not be pleased if the hidden villages knew too
much of our plans, Armon could very well have told many of our secrets to those who disposed of
him. Kore was not all to happy when he stumbled upon only burned remains." Raistlin finished
turning his head away from his brother and back to Sasuke and Sakura.
a jolt of fear shot through both Naruto and Sasuke. Armon was telling the truth, if so
than how had they not been tracked down? not killed harmed or anything.
"actually now that i take a better look at him the guy matches the description perfectly
of one of the group that killed Armon. he is uchiha, and there is only two of them left. you
look much weeker and less threatening than your brother Sasuke." Raistlin finished enjoying the
sight of Sasuke's fears coming forth.
"you...you...you know my brother?" Sasuke asked slowly beginning to grow dizzy with a
mixture of fear and anger at the mention of his brother.
"All in Monster know of him, and i only met him once, he met with kore a few months ago
you share much resemblence in appearance, but i doubt in skills, your brother is one of the most"
"shut up!" screamed Sasuke. his arms were trembling now, the dizziness had passed and
was replaced with out right rage, he held out his arm and concentrated his engergy into it,
getting ready to release the chidori. Raistlin only looked at Sasuke and smiled as the chirping
began.
"so you are obviously a pupil of Kakashi, and you know the chidori, impressive but it
won't help you out of your situation."raistlin finished both him and Caramon smiled. Sasuke felt
his energy from the chidori begin to drain frantically. he struggled to keep it going, forcing
more and more energy into it. sweat began to bead on his forehead and then he saw the smile on
raistlin, and the slight aura around him "He is doing this to me!!!" sasuke throught suddenly,
stopped putting energy into his Chidori,
"damn" said Raistlin with little emotion. Caramon let out a slight demented giggle.
"you could have taken longer if you wanted, you Chakra feels good." both of them began to laugh.
under his mask Sasuke could see Naruto's eyes were wide with worry and fear.
Sasuke took a breath trying to think. "Idiot!" he thought to himself. "now i have lost
a good portion of chakra and we are no closer to beating these two, Naruto you need to make a move!"
"go ahead brother beat them sensless, but don't kill them only hurt them severely."
"as you wish brother!" Caramon yelled with joy, he began to walk forward. Sasuke took out a
kunai, sakura did the same. "i hope you know how to use those well, otherwise your in for some
trouble!" laughed Caramon.
Sasuke shot forward, caramon did not move till the last second, catching Sasuke's kunai arm
he bent it so that the Kunai fell out of his hand. Sasuke grunted in pain. Caramon only laughed and
raised his arm to strike. Sakura slid at Caramon in an attempt to trip him, caramon easily jumped
avoiding the attack. he took sasuke with him up ten feet in the air, reaching his peak he pulled his
arm back readying to attack. sakura was flying back at caramon her fist clenched in determination.
"you annoying pest i wish to face the uchiha! he seems like fun!" caramon turned his fist
in Sakura's direction. Sasuke's foot landed in Caramons face causing him to drop sasuke as he fell
sasuke landed and was off heading to Caramon as he righted himself in the air and landed easily on
his feet. Sakura too had landed and took off at Caramon at a right angle to Sasuke. Carmon raised
both his arms to defend from both of them. he caught Sasuke's hand and Sakura's wrist as they attack
bending and twisting there arms he brought them to their knee's.
"i hope you like pain!" caramon laughed as he tensed ready to snap Sasuke's wrist and
Sakura's arm like twigs. forcing all his energy into his wrist he dislocated his shoulder and turned
backwards in a way that was impossible unless his shoulder was disloacted and elbowed caramon in
the back of the head. caramon let both of them go and they jumped back, while caramon came down
on one knee rubbing the back of his head. Sakura looked at Sasuke wincing as he cracked his
shoulder back into place.
"you are talented uchiha, that hurt a little. i was seeing three of you for a second!"
laughed the big man.
"this asshole enjoys the pain!" Sasuke regretfully thought to himself.
"we don't have all day caramon!" shouted raistlin. " hurry up and finish them!" Caramon
widened his smile and turned to his brother.
"as you wish Raist." caramon turned back to Sasuke and Sakura. he charged and before
either of them could react the were caught by blows, more than one, several, all in the space
of the half second. the hits sent them both flying into the dirt several feet away. the
Njinja of the leaf were slow to get up from the flurry of hits.
by the time they were standing caramon was behind them and elbowed sasuke in the back
of the head
"payback!" shouted Carmon the smile still on his face. Sakura turned in time to watch
for the last second as the fist smashed painfull into her face sending her down. caramon stood
over the ninja as they struggled to get back off the ground.
"i think they are almost done Raist. Raist?" Raistlin was on the ground. "Brother!" shouted
the giant. the smile now gone, the fight was no longer fun his brother was hurt. suddenly a dart
landed in the side of his neck. turning, he saw who had shot him. "Lon? why?" caramon mumbled as
he fell to the ground.
"Naruto! shouted Sakura. Naruto was once again naruto in a poof of smoke. naruto was smiling
greatly his hands on his hips triumphantly.
"no need to thank me sakura just thought.." but he was not able to finish his sentence.
"just thought you would let us get our asses kicked before you saved us?" yelled sakura.
her rage caused naruto to wince slightly.
"i had to let them get caught up in the fight so i could shoot them without them noticing!"
retorted uzamaki.
"what did you shoot them with? asked sasuke getting off the ground and wiping blood from the
side of his lip.
"not sure, that guy i took out had it in a pocket, could have killed them could have
only knocked them out i dont know, figured it was a solid bet the dart was tipped with
something." naruto said shrugging.
'and if it wasn't we would have all died. you got lucky you idiot, next time you
might not be." sasuke said walking up to Caramon and checking his neck. "they are still
alive, so i am gonna guess they are only knocked out," sasuke said as he raised his fist.
"what are you doing?" screamed Sakura. sasuke looked up at sakura.
"taking them out, they are enemies." sasuke replied simply.
"but they are unable to defend themselves!" naruto replied loudly. Sasuke turned his
head to face Naruto
"So they spoke of my brother, i can't let that go unpunished." sasuke said coldly. there
was a slight sound off in the distance.
"Shit! shouted Naruto. we have company!" there were several men gathered in the distance
and heading towards them quickly.
"we gotta go!" shouted Sakura as she began to run, she stopped when she noticed no one
following her. "whats the hold up! we gotta move otherwise we are dead! we accomplished our mission,
we observed the town and now lets get back to the village! they won't enter the village its not
too far from here. we have to warn them!" yelled sakura.
"Warn them of what?" asked naruto puzzle. sakura sighed impatiently and opened her mouth
to answer the question. but it was sasuke who answered
"Konoha is next be attacked, this village was where they were to gather, i am guessing those
ninja in the distance are part of the attack. come on lets go." sasuke finished and took off in the
direction of the forest that would take them to the village of the leaf, and safety, no matter
how brief the safety might be...
