Naruto yelled out in shock when a ninja leapt forward and sliced Rihan straight in half with their blade. But he really shouldn't have worried, because the image where Rihan had been standing did nothing but waver, the point where the blade had struck disappearing into black flame like shadows. The image then dissolved, leaving the ninja confused and wary. But before the ninja could so anything, he was struck with the dull edge of the blade Rihan always carried around and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Are you alright, Naruto?" Rihan asked

Naruto nodded, a bit stunned, then he seemed to shake himself out of his stooper and was suddenly bouncing up and down, "That was sooo cooool! Teach me how to do that!"

And Rihan laughed.

"Hey! What's so funny?!"
"Nothing, nothing~"

AN: I've run out of things that I've pre-written and new ideas aren't so forth cominganymore. New chapters will probablyslow down for a while.
