Unwanted deal

KB: Well this is the last day of my holidays yay school cough cough, anyway here's my next chapter

Sai: KB I got a joke!

KB: ok let's hear it

Sai: Ok why did the chicken cross the road?

KB: 'sweat drop' why?

Sai: It wasn't a chicken it was Sasuke

Sakura: rofl

Sasuke: 'Glare'

Deep in the dark dingy forest Sakura traveled, leaping from tree to tree. She had departed the leaf village a good three hours ago and was making record time to her destination.

Sakura landed brutally on a tree branch. Something was wrong; she felt an all too human chill go down her spine. Someone was out there watching her. Sakura scanned the area but nothing all that could be heard was the birds in the trees.

Sakura shook off the suspicion of someone watching her and began to move.

Then it happened the birds stopped chirping. Sakura stopped to see a kunai slung out of the bushes straight at her. She ducked under the branch holding on to it with one hand. Then see saw it the explosive note attached to the kunai. She pushed herself from the tree just in time before the explosion. Tree matter fell everywhere, Sakura landed on all fours.

A person came at her from behind, lifting there right leg they moved to kick. Blocking the strike Sakura skidded back.

Focusing on the man's face, it was covered by a mask.

'Great' Sakura thought

Grabbing a several shurikens she ditched them at the unknown opponent. Dodging them with ease the man charged towards Sakura.

'This guy's good'

Swinging his left arm to strike, Sakura grabbed it twisting around and flipping the man on to his back.

Jumping on top of him kunai at the neck, Sakura removed the mask. There lay a man with dark hazel eyes and brown hair.

Akira Hikura

The man started laughing "It's nice to see they sent a weak little girl after me" with that he poofed into smoke.

Sakura's eyes widened 'Shadow clone'

Sakura felt a sharp pain from the side and was kicked into a tree, the wind being knocked out of her.

Regaining her balance and making hand signs she quickly vanished. Now it was time for Akira to search for her.

Hands shot out from the ground grabbing Akira's legs.

Smirking the man turned to liquid. Sakura was getting frustrated with this man; she was going to finish this mission now. Making the final necessary hand signs, the trees and plants began to grow, come alive. Akira was soon trapped in the wooden branches and vines of what he was once hiding in.

Sakura gathered chakra into her fist ready to deliver the final blow.

Only to be beaten to the kill, thousands of shurikens found there way embedded in Akira, Sakura looked around someone else was here.

"Don't I get a thank you Sa-ku-ra?" that voice so dark, so disturbingly deep and spine chilling

Sakura turned to where the voice was heard, only to gasp. Falling on her behind Sakura trembled with fear.

"Y-your de-ad" she stated eyes widening in disbelief.

Then she heard the menacing laugh "So I've heard"

Sakura regained her composure "What do you want, Itachi?"

Itachi appeared in front of her

"Simple, it's time to pay up on our deal Sakura, I want you"

KB: So how did you like it? It has been my first time writing a battle scene I hope it was ok any-

Sasuke: Wait

KB: What now?

Sasuke: I got a joke

KB: ok let's hear it

Sasuke: A bumper sticker for artists: "My other car is a bike, too."

Sai: How artist do it...

Artists do it by design.
Artists do it expressively.
Artists do it with creativity.
Artists do it with emotion.
Artists do it with flair.
Artists do it with longer strokes.

Sasuke: Grrr
