chapter 8


Yamato just sighed and turned back to Naruto. Sai was curious why Sakura just happened to pop up from behind him like that. He proceeded to ask.

"Eh, Sakura," asked Sai. "Is there any reason why you came here?"

"It was just to let some steam off." answered Sakura.

Hearing that dreadful news that her twin brother was in Akatsuki, it fired up her heart, but at the same time made it feel weak. She couldn't help but to think about memories.

Flashback

The flashback took place in a class room at the ninja academy. A test was being held in that classroom, and Sakura suddenly forgot the answers.

"Oh no," whimpered Sakura quietly. "I don't know these questions!"

She was just lucky enough that Kaishu was seated next to her. He look over to his struggling sister who were pondering over the test sheet.

"If you want, you can look off mine." whispered Kaishu

He had to be extremely careful since the teacher was watching. His eyes never seemed to blink. Sakura smiled and secretly looked over to Kaishu's sheet. They were very lucky to be sitting in the back of the room.

End flashback

Sai never noticed how Sakura was depressed. Back at the hokage's office, some news came in, about the Akatsuki. Shizune rushed into the office.

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Huh?" Tsunade said.

"I got some news of the Akatsuki!"

"Where?"

"I'll tell it to you."

After at least ten minutes of the information, Tsunade quickly pulled out sheets of papers. The only team available was team 10.

"Shizune, go get Shikamaru, Asuma, Genma, and Kotetsu here quickly!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Shizune disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Tsunade puffed out some air. She could only sense something very bad was going to happen.


At Orochimaru's base, Magestin set off to complete his goal. The Akatsuki were a problem for Orochimaru. He could hardly make any moves with them in the way.

"Alright, Magestin, I'm counting on you." slithered Orochimaru.

"No problem!" said Magestin.

Sasuke wasn't present anywhere. He was anxiously waiting for more training from Orochimaru. Although, the thought of reviving his clan was still in mind. He knew exactly who to do it with.


"Shitaka!" shouted Akima.

"I'm trying to do it!" the sharingan teen yelled.

Severe training was being held at a different training field since Kakashi and Yamato took the other. The sharingan was a good weapon for genjutsu, but Akima was training Shitaka to use high level genjutsu with hand seals, other than her eyes.

"Shitaka, you have to concentrate while doing this."

It was hard for her to at least activate her genjutsu without Akima deactivating it with his sharingan. It was kind of like Shitaka had to control her will to complete the genjutsu.

Shikamaru, Asuma, Genma, and Kotetsu arrived. Tsunade looked up to them from her desk. Asuma though, Oh no, this won't be good...

Tsunade proceeded to speak, "We have some information on the Akatsuki, and I have selected you for this reason."

Genma gulped a little while kotetsu took the info head on.


Magestin covered a lot of ground in the time when he left Orochimaru's base. His jutsu mainly was the ability to stretch, and he killed many ninja with this jutsu. While he was traveling to the Amegakure regions, he was ambushed by ninja. Megastin jumped out the way in time for the kunai's to miss him, but the ground flew open with a big guy with muscles to pop out.

Magestin quickly performed some hand seals and his body took the shape of a huge parachute. The big dude took out some explosive kunai's and they struck Magestin's body. Instantly, they blew up. The muscle guy that was being covered by Magestin got out in time before the explosion. The other two ninja got away in time.

"Not bad, Kisho," said a ninja. "You blew him up pretty fast."

"It was no sweat." Kisho said whiping his nose with his thumb.

The ninja thought it was over, but it was far from over. Magestin's arm came threw the ground. Grabbing Kisho's leg, Magestin popped threw the ground. His body took form of some spikes, but they detached from his body and sped toward the three ninja. Kisho was trapped by Magestin's arm, so he was struck first. The other two ninja jumped out the way, but as Magestin shot out spikes, some were shot in the air.

The other two ninja saw this.

"Suzue, watch out!" yelled Keizo.

Suzue watched carefully as the spike came heading towards her. She dodged every one that was struck at her. Although, there was one peculiar one that was thrown at her. She dodged it, but it appeared to be Magestin. He wrapped his hands around her neck and dived towards the ground.

"Suzue!" gasped Keizo.

The ground flew open with rocks flying everywhere. Kisho wasn't finished off, it was just a shadow clone. Kisho flew threw the ground with chakra focused in his fist. It was going to be a big collision between Magestin, Suzue, and Kisho if Magestin hadn't jumped away from Suzue. Keizo suddenly wrapped his hands around Suzue by accident.

"Ugh, he's fast!" thought Keizo.

"I can't stop this jutsu!" Kisho shouted to Keizo and Suzue.

KA-BANG!! A large shockwave came after the explosion. Magestin knew this still wasn't over since he still felt their chakra around. The smoke started to clear revealing the ninja. Kisho used up a large amount of chakra, so he was being carried by Keizo.

"Who are you three?" Magestin asked.

Keizo giggled a little before answering, "We were sent to eliminate Orochimaru by the Akatsuki leader. We attacked you because you're in this bingo book of Orochimaru's followers."

Magestin gasped. Keizo realized he was going to make a move soon, so he put down Kisho and jumped out the way. Magestin's arm stretch all the way to retrieve that bingo book. He stopped stretching his arm and moved up to where his arm was.

Suzue threw a kunai, but it only reflected back at her since Magestin had his rubber affect on.
