Naruto knew what to do "Split up!"Naruto shouted and Yang looked at him before giving a nob in agreement then the two split up and the Griever stopped dead in it's tracks and followed Naruto who went into a ...dead end and stared at the wall covered in thick Ivy...the Griever rolled towards Naruto who held the sword and shivered at the sighed of the horrifying creature who moaned a it walked slowly towards Naruto who backed up into the corner before Naruto shiver and trembled ...the Griever came close and closer and Naruto squeezed his eyes and swung the blade left then right up then down and a slime like substances splattered onto him after every swing and soon "GREENIE!"Yang shouted and Naruto's eyes opened "stop swinging that sword you killed it already"she sighed. Naruto looked at the dead Griever with it's face or butt covered in deep line cut into it's flesh and the slime oozing out of it Naruto stood silently in shock "Body check are you stung"Yang asked as she placed Blake against the stone wall..."Not surprised you killed it"Yang sighed Naruto looked down at the Griever and Yang took the sword and began rip the Griever by cutting it apart and soon after the Griever was made into fifteen different pieces Naruto sighed and soon Five other moans came from the left side of where they sat Yang grabbed onto Blake and again swung her over her shoulder. Then they ran ..."to the cliff"Yang shouted as she pulled Naruto to turn with her as they ran they made it to the cliff and Naruto was surprised...he fell silence the cliff looked somewhat beautiful he was silent "Don't get your hopes up Greenie this is just the cliff..."Yang sighed and Naruto looked at the girl who was on Yang's shoulders she had fell completely silent and hadn't done anything to tell us she...alive...Naruto looked at Blake and jerked his head..."Is she still..."Naruto paused and Yang looked at him the at Blake who went pale and didn't move ...Yang fell to her knee's and flung yang onto the ground and pressed her ear on Blake's chest in silents yang stayed there for a few minutes then sighed in relief "her heart wasn't beating for a moment there"Yang sighed before see hugged the almost lifeless body "we can hid out here ...have upper body strength?"Naruto asked and Yang gave a nob "Then follow my lead"Naruto grinned he grabbed a vine a ripped a piece of it Yang watched confused
Minutes later
"I wasn't expecting ...THIS!"Yang shouted ... me and Yang hung under the cliff and Blake arms tied around Yang's neck with the vine I recently ripped...Yang started pulling herself up and down slightly building up strength..."Greenie"Yang muttered "Yea"Naruto looked at her "You are one crazy man...I like that"Yang grinned Naruto gave a nob and smiled "shh"Naruto shushed the women as the clicking and whirring came above them ...The two held their breaths and the Grievers were looking for them..somehow they were...Naruto knew that...soon after two minutes the Grievers went away and Yang and Naruto climbed back up to the safe land and Naruto sighed his body screamed in exhaustion and Yang seemed to be perfectly fine...and the sun began to peek over the maze wall. Naruto sighed in relief "We managed"Naruto smiled "But Blake might not make it"Yang sighed as she cupped her hands under Blake's knees and they began to run towards the maze entrance and soon. They it through the walls and Yang untied Blake and placed her on the ground "MED JACKS!"Yang shouted and soon the whole group came running towards us and surround around the one footed stung mother and picked her up from the ground and hurried to the Homestead leaving Naruto and Yang alone "maybe we should help out the med jacks"Naruto muttered to Yang "No...we need to get some food and rest"Yang sighed
Two days later
I was summoned to be judged by the keepers and I wasn't happy Karu sat in a throne like wooden chair it was bigger then the others and Karu sat silently scanning Naruto whom had bandages around his bleeding hand...Naruto felt terrible he broke the number one rule...Naruto sat in the center in a wooden chair that rocked when he moved "Okay shanks what do we do"Yang sighed "Well I think we should let the shank go...he didn't do anything wrong he just helped them if he wasn't out there they would be dead right now" Samui sighed Takashi scoffed and crossed his arms "No way the Greenie should be put in the slammer and stay there ..he could be dangerous...he has been here for only a week and two days and the shanks acting like he owns the place I think he knows something... something dangerous ... we should keep this shank in the slammer"Naruto sighed "What!"Samui shut out of her chair..."Samui"Karu sighed "What women ..."Takashi sighed "he just like us he came to the maze he gave us his name and he learned the rules...just because he didn't ball his eyes out crying ...like you Takashi...or klunking his pants..means he's different"Samui shouted then a fight broke out and everyone was talking at once Karu leaned forward and his elbows hit his knee's"SILENCE!"Karu shouted and the whole court sat down "next person Neji"Karu pointed at Neji who was startled "um...well he didn't do anything wrong he just saved Blake life not to say Yang's as well he should have a day of punishment"Neji sighed. Naruto looked at Neji in silence and felt a little relief he did really did need to be in the slammer for a day "Any others"Karu sighed and everyone but Takashi agreed with Neji after the room settled "I nominate Naruto as keeper of runners"Yang sighed and Naruto was startled and the whole court.
