Chapter 4.
Shikamaru's gone! Kunkuro comes!
30 minutes since the teams began their Jounin adventure. Shikamaru's team had left technically 1.5 seconds before the rest. The cloud started to form up. It was going to rain soon.
" Shikamaru, take your hands out of your pockets and take out a kunai knife, you'll never know what could suddenly lash out of you!" Their Sensei, Kurenai said to Shikamaru.
" That just troublesome, why would any one want to atta-" Shikamaru had a chill down his spine when Kankuro launched out his puppet to scare Shikamaru by putting his puppet's wooden hand on his shoulder. Shikamaru quickly turned around and stabbed a kunai knife in the puppets hand.
" Heh, relax chicken boy, it's only me!" Kunkuro teased. He then let out a laugh.
Yamanaka Ino went up to Shikamaru and told him:
" Gosh, you're such a chicken!" Ino said sarcastically and let out a little laugh.
" I'm not going to die when I have come this far in my life, I'll become a Jounin and retire or something. All these exams have been nothing but troublesome!" Shikamaru told Ino.
Ino smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the lips. Ino and Shikamaru were going out since they were 16 years of age. Their relationship was that long! She then moved closer to him and held his hand. They were walking along together when Shikamaru noticed raindrops falling from the sky.
((18:00, Shikamaru's team had reached the Hidden Mist Village)).
It was quiet. Too quiet. Shikamaru sensed something dodgy about this place. Ino just kept straightening her hair. Kunkuro was yawning all the way.
" Stay close Ninja's!" Kurenai warned.
The trees rultled, suddenly 5 Mist Ninja's jumped from 3 very tall trees. Kurenai was not responsible for any person's death. All she had to do was monitor weather they were cheating or not. Which is also what other teachers were doing as well. She vanished with a poof of smoke.
Shikamaru ran up in front of Ino to protect her. Even the Sand Ninja had guarded them. They all ran up and yelled:
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"
Shikamaru was surprised! They ALL managed to produce great clones and not only that, there were about 5,000 of all of them together!
" Damn! I can't use my Kage Mane no jutsu! Since there is not sun! It's all covered with cloud, therefore, no shadows for me! What troublesome luck!" Shikamaru whispered to both his team mates.
The 5 out of 5000 people shouted out:
"Kirigakure no Jutsu!" Then ran off and hid.
" Damn!" Ino said. " This is a highly effective cover technique! Blankets an area in very thick, confusing the senses of the enemy!" Ino explained.
About 3000 clones attacked at all the same time! They were charging straight at them!
Ino made some hand seals and yelled:
"Kai!" (The dispel technique that's supposed to get rid of any illusionary techniques!)
" Nice try little lady, but such a great technique like the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu cannot be easily Dispelled! Hah!" Then all of them chuckled.
" Damn you!" Kunkuro said. " Shikamaru, you can't produce any shadows and you Ino cannot use any other Jutsu!"
They were so close to attack and while Kunkuro was too busy talking, they ran past him. They gave him on big hell of a punch on his jaw! They ran up to Shikamaru and said:
"Suirou no Jutsu!" behind his back. The ninja put his hand next to Shikamaru and soon, Shikamaru was trapped in the blue sphere, filling up with water every second! Then Shikamaru would drown!
"We have just trapped him in this sphere shape, and it will rise up with water soon, so he'll die!" ninja 4 said
We'll make you a deal, either you can get your friend back by giving your self up, or we'll just take him and die. So now what's your choice?" They said. All of them putting Kankuro's hands behind his back while Kankuro's mouth was bleeding, and Ino's behind hers so they both can't try anything dodgy or sneaky.
" OK! Ino said, I'll save him, take me instead!" Ino offered.
You could see Shikamaru's face going red with anger and just about making out what he said. But Ino knew, they were together for 2 years. He was saying:
" No Ino, You Crazy girl! Stop that, I don't mind if I die, as long as I save You! Ino, Leave me alone! Run away!" Shikamaru tried to shouted out.
The mist ninja chuckled out loudly, to add to the terrible atmosphere. Kunkuro said:
" Just leave it Ino! Shikamaru's gone…he's going to die…"
Ino didn't give up and couldn't believe what Kankuro had just said. " How the hell could you say that? I won't let him die!" Ino shouted at him.
" Wait Ino, let me finish my sentence! He's going to die…unless I don't offer myself."
" Oh no! Just let me offe-" Ino was then interrupted.
" Just let me go, we are wasting time arguing! Mist ninja, I have agreed to go into your bubble of rising water!" Kankuro's head dropped down.
The mist ninja let Shikamaru go and then Shikamaru took so many breaths. They suddenly said:
" Hey, take of his bandaged thing off his back, incase he tries something sneaky! Oh yeah and put a fire explosion tag on it for 1 minute!" ninja 1 said.
" Yeah, your right, tried to fool us eh!" ninja 2 said. He did as he was told. All the shadow clones disappeared.
" No…Kankuro…!" Shikamaru told him while he was still spitting out water out of his mouth.
They tied up Shikamaru and Ino's hand roughly now and told them:
" Now watch your friend die!" ninja 5 said.
They took Kankuro inside and then the water started to rise up…
