"Why don't we just continue on. I mean, Naruto knows where we're going right? He'll know where to go, if by chance he does come back for some reason..."
Sakura nodded and agreed to the plan. So, the two would set off for the Forest of Lost Souls…
Previous Night
"I'll see you later Sasuke…" mumbled Naruto as he walked off into the bushes. He then began running off into the distant, being swift and quiet. Being sure not to cause any alarm. After a short while Naruto stopped beside a fresh water stream. Naruto then knelt down and put his hands together to make a cup for the water. He dipped his hands into the stream then brought them to his mouth and drank it slowly. Then from the corner of his eye he saw a shift in the bushes and cold bright yellow eyes stare back at him. Naruto stood slowly. The suddenly the stranger appeared behind Naruto and held a Kunai at his throat.
"Kisame…" said Naruto quietly.
"Got you..." replied Kisame as he smiled devilishly.
"Kisame, we have no time for your tedious games. We must complete our mission…"
"Hmmph, you always ruin the fun" replied Kisame as he stood back away from Naruto.
Naruto turned around and spoke "Where is he?"
Kisame sighed then shrugged and spoke "Whatever"
"Where is he?"
Kisame looked at Naruto then walked to the bushes and pulled out a guy tied up form head to toe, his arms tied behind him, stopping him from doing any Jutsu's to get free.
"Here he is" said Kisame as he threw the boy in front of Naruto. He walked up to him and brushed the stray blond hair from the boys face. His blues eyes stared up in anger at what seemed to be Naruto as he run his fingers over the boys covered mouth.
He mumbled something but it was inuadible under the rope. But it resembled something like "You bastard".
Naruto merely stared at the boy.
"Be quiet Jinchuuriki. You'll get your turn .." said Naruto, then there was a poof and a cloud of smoke began to dissolve into the cold night air, revealing the person staring into the eyes of the real Naruto.
Sasuke and Sakura had been travelling for about an hour until they came across a dirt road. They followed that for a while and they found a small house. They could smell food and were enticed immediately; they then wandered to the door and knocked on it. The door opened and a small woman appeared."Ohayo gozaimasu!" said Sakura as she bowed. Sasuke merely stood there since he was invisible. "Oh small child! What are you doing travelling alone around these parts!! You shouldn't be walking around freely and so close to the Forest of Lost souls! So many damned Nin, traitors of their land, they were. They wander dead killing mercilessly you know my dear! Quick child! Come in, come in!" said the lady ushering Sakura inside her house. She sat Sakura down at a table and plopped a bowl of soup in front of her.
"I suspect that you must have a reason being here, so you need food for your journey..." said the lady as she poured a drink for Sakura.
"Oh, thank you so much! How much shall this be?" asked Sakura politely.
"Nothing at all darling, you know I once had a daughter like you. So beautiful, but she went out one day and never returned"
"I'm so sorry to hear that" There was a silence then the woman merely smiled and spoke "No matter, she will always be remain in my heart, so my dear, what are your job here?"
"Um, I have to go into the forest of Lost Souls and find a cabin there. Do you know in what direction it is?" said Sakura. The old ladies face was pale in shock and fear, it then turned.
"What?! Why would a young lady like yourself be going into such a horrible and condemned place?! What purpose does a girl like you have there?!" she said in a slightly angry tone.
Sasuke looked at Sakura warningly, letting her know that she shouldn't disperse too much information.
"This doesn't feel right Sakura" he said, Sakura merely glanced at him and gave him a stern look. Sakura then turned her attention back to the old lady.
"Well, I need information from a man there, that's all" replied Sakura. The lady sat down across the table from Sakura.
"He's a dangerous man he is. They say he's possessed by thousands of those damned nin I told you about. They say that, that's how he can know so much, because he has the knowledge of thousands within him" Said the woman.
"A dangerous man" she mumbled again.
Sakura exchanged glances with Sasuke.
"What else do you know about him?" asked Sakura. The old lady peered at Sakura then spoke again.
"Apparently he has the ability to extract souls from bodies"
"Really? That's quite a rare and amazing ability!" said Sakura. "Does he work alone?" pressed Sakura.
"I-I..I must not talk about this anymore, you must leave immediately. Please, just leave, you may take the soup with you…" said the old lady.
"I'm sorry but-" started Sakura, but she was interrupted.
"No, just go! You must not go to the cabin, nothing good will come of it"
"Where is it?! Oba-chan!" demanded Sakura, but Sasuke grabbed her and lead her out the door, he just didn't feel right. The two then stood out on the dirt road in front of the house.
