In the dinning area of the restaurant, a comfortable atmosphere surrounded the seventh table. Everyone started having a conversation with someone else or was quietly enjoying the refreshing drinks they had received just now.
Sasuke and Sakura talked quietly between themselves while Shikamaru, Lee, and Chouji had a discussion on spicy foods. Hinata listened to the conversation now and then but she was happily sipping her tea. Kakashi occasionally peeked over his little orange book to watch everyone, but he giggled every once in a while.
The group abruptly became quiet as a strange darkness started to cover over the table. Everyone turned their heads to Kakashi, where the shadow seemed to have originated from. Kakashi noticed the shadow on the wooden furniture and the faces looking over his shoulder. Curious, he placed his Icha-Icha book down on the table and looked behind his right shoulder.
Standing to the right of the table was a tall black-haired man with a frown on his face. His dark...black...eyes held anger toward the group sitting in front of him. The man had walked up stiffly to the table and placed the three big trays on the table, ignoring the looks of the ninjas seated around him. Once the foods were placed in the middle, the dark eyed server moved away a little and bowed. He looked back up and saw the seven pairs of eyes still looking at him.
"Is there anything else...?" His voice echoed around the group. Anger dripped from every word; everyone could tell that it was forced to come out of his mouth.
When the pissed off busboy still continued to look at them, Sasuke began to speak. "I think we have everything we need right now." Sasuke finished with a angry stare of his own. The server switched his gaze from their faces towards their headbands that labeled them as leaf shinobi.
Soon, everyone realized why they were receiving the hate filled glaring from this person. Now that hey noticed, they were being watched cautiously by some of the diners in the restaurant also. They didn't expect all the villagers to be nonchalant about strangers appearing into their isolated village, and certainly didn't think that they would be happy to see that it is a past enemy nation's squad of shinobi on top of that. The group did just waltz into the villager's home and cause some noise, on Chouji's behalf.
Wanting the uncomfortable silence that had fallen to break, Hinata turned to the black-haired waiter,
"Arigato. I'm sure it is very delicious." she finished with a head bow a small smile. Seeing this, the waiter turned to her and studied her for a while. Then he gave a curt nod, turned from the table and walked quickly back to the kitchen.
As soon as the waiter left, Sakura let out a small sigh, "That guy was creepy. And his eyes..." she shuddered at the memory. Unknown to everyone around her Inner Sakura had flipped the bird to the waiter's back.
Kakashi chimed in, cutting Sakura's statement short, "Yes, they were such a lovely color, matter of fact, why don't we discuss this while we're enjoying our food, hmm?" Kakashi's eye formed an upside down 'u' when everyone took the hint and began to eat their food. Everyone stayed silent and kept to themselves...
"RIBS!!! Oh they're soo good!"
"Chouji, keep your troublesome hands away from my food."
"Hinata-chan, can you please pass the hot-Chouji! Keep your youthful-assed hands to your own plate and away from my curry! Yosh!"
"Sakura, don't take another one of my dango."
"Excuse me? And you're eating all of the tomatoes in my salad?"
"When you're almost shoving it down my throat, yeah."
"Yeah? Yeah! Well, I'll show you shoving!"
Kakashi made a sigh of relief when everything around him resumed back to its original way. He kept his book in its reading position and looked like he was enjoying its contents, but in actuality, he was thinking about what had happened a while ago.
'There's something different about that guy from the villagers here. We need to check out this village to see if anything else is going around here.'
-------
As soon as the kitchen doors had closed behind his back, the waiter gritted his teeth. Quickly, his hair began to lighten from the night black that it was to its original deep yellow. His eyes lightened only a few shades from cobalt to a dark almost blackish-blue. His now yellow colored eyebrows knitted in the center of his forehead,
'I was correct. It was their chakra that I had felt.'
Before Shimani had come to his door, Shadow had felt suspicious chakra signals around and inside the village. Hiding his chakra levels so that they would be recognized as an average villager, he focused on trying to figure out who the chakra signals belonged to. His eyes narrowed to dark slits when he realized who it was.
How in the hell did they find out where I was hiding! I've kept my cover for these years! This whole area is isolated from the shinobi nations...'
Then he realized that the signals were going randomly around the village and then to the head leader's house.
'..maybe they don't know my location...I need to make sure they leave here.'
After that thought, Shimani had disturbed him when she knocked, but when she had left, he quickly prepared to go outside in disguise. Forming rapids hand signs, he muttered a complex henge jutsu inside his mind and his body had begun to alter. That's when he left his room and walked into the kitchen. He didn't need to worry about the girl or old woman questioning about his appearance; he did this jutsu a lot in front of them. In fact, he used it on them so that he could've stayed hidden when they first brought him to the village.
He quickly went to the kitchen and took the orders to the dinning area. When he realized that the same group that he sensed earlier was in the restaurant, he had to calm himself down to a minimum rage.
He did his best to act like they were regular costumers, but he couldn't help to glare at the people sitting around the table and all of their headbands. He quickly noted how they have all changed in appearance and chakra strength, and prepared to leave.
The Uchiha had to make a smart ass comment to him. Shadow was ready to retaliate, when the dark navy dressed Hyuuga spoke up.
That had to be a different Hyuuga.
It couldn't have been who he thought it was. The timid and shy kunoichi, who graduated with him from the academy and was beaten by her cousin, was never as confident as to stand up against a stranger in a different country. But then again, maybe she had changed. God knows that he has.
Going back to the problem at hand, Shadow quickly made a plan.
'They might search the village in a group, but that's too suspicious. If they split up, they'll try covering more ground quicker. I could just lead one astray then...'
Shadow walked away from the kitchen and retreated into his 'room'.
-----------
"Ow, my stomach..." A small wail was heard outside of the restaurant. Inside, where the cry originated from, there was a group of people sitting in the restaurant. At the end of one table was a lazy ninja reading a orange book while calmly sipping his drink; how he was able to do that while still wearing his mask, no one knew the answer to. On the other side, there was the person calling in distress.
"Serves you right, Akamichi." A peeved Uchiha muttered. Shikamaru just sighed and stared at his childhood friend. "Who told you to try stealing our food...and wolf down all those ribs that fast?"
Finally, Kakashi turned toward the people seated around the table and talked." Alright, since it looks like we're all ready, we should start our mission here by splitting up to search quicker."
As soon as those words were said, the table became quiet. Everyone had stopped talking and listened intently to the scarecrow with a serious demeanor.
Not wanting anyone else to hear the plan other than his team incase of eavesdroppers, Kakashi went on.
"Black and Green take rising sun. Shika, Cho will run the trees. Hawk and Beast, follow the sun. Scarecrow will guard the nest. Run your areas from 12 to 6 of the meeting place. Return before silver rises. Dismissed."
Everyone but Kakashi got up immediately and walked through the door. The middle-aged man who was at the counter near the exit watched the six people leave table number four, and then walked over to the lone person left at the table.
"Excuse me, but are you going to pay the tab?" Kakashi kept looking at the man. the man stared expectantly at him. Kakashi turned back to his precious reading
"..No, they're coming back." He quietly slipped the man enough money to pay for his order.
