Chapter 9
I don't own Naruto, just this plot. Sorry I am just now updating but I got very sidetracked today.
"I am going ahead ok, so when you guys go forward then I can head back and we can meet half way," Yoru says.
"No, we are not slitting up," Naruto says crossing his arms.
"Well I am going whether you like it or not so by and don't forget about the whistle," Yoru says then vanishes into the forest.
"Hey, and she is gone," Naruto says, "Now I have to pee," he walks over to a tree.
"No in front of me, I am a girl," Sakura says and punches him in the head and he runs to a bush further away.
"Much better," Naruto says coming back.
"I thought I said to stop being vulgar in my presents," Sakura says lifting her fist. POW, Sasuke punches Naruto in the face, "Sasuke that's nice to help me but that was a little over the top."
"What was that for," Naruto says rubbing his check.
"What have you done with Naruto?" Sasuke says and Sakura looks confused.
"What do you mean, hello, I am right in front of you and bleeding," Naruto says.
"You're wearing your shuriken on your left when Naruto's right handed, and the real Naruto is behind you," Sasuke point to the real Naruto standing up.
"Wow, good night," Naruto says then knocks him unconscious, "what was that supposed to be my replacement?"
The three ninja's move further into the wood then stop, "remember this if we ever get separated we can't trust each other blindly or it will probably end worst then last time, we will make a password. It will be a poem called Ninki, when I ask for it this is how you will respond, 'we thrive in the chaos of the enemy tide. Quiet shinobi don't need dens to hide. Our only concern is to watch and wait until the enemy lowers the gate.'"
"How do you expect me to remember that?" Naruto ask.
"I already got it," Sakura says.
"Can't it be something easier like "ramen"?" Naruto asks.
"I will take the scroll," Sasuke says, and then a large gust of wind blows and cuts Naruto's check.
"Ow, what the?" Naruto says and the wind picks up again.
"A new enemy?!" Sasuke says, everyone jumps and hides.
Three grass ninja's come out, the one with long black hair says, "Stick around you two, it could be fun, I'll go in alone!"
Sasuke is hiding in a bush and Sakura find him, "Sasuke."
"Not another step, what's the password, the "ninki." Sasuke says holding a kunai knife.
"Oh, right 'we thrive in the chaos of the enemy tide. Quiet shinobi don't need dens to hide. Our only concern is to watch and wait until the enemy lowers the gate.'
"Good," Sasuke says.
"Hey, guys, are you alright?" Naruto says running out from behind a tree.
"Not so fast Naruto, the password," Sasuke says.
"The 'Ninki' right, 'we thrive in the chaos of the enemy tide. Quiet shinobi don't need dens to hide. Our only concern is to watch and wait until the enemy lowers the gate,' Naruto says perfectly and Sakura sighs with relief. Sasuke throws a kunai at Naruto and he dodges it, "hey."
"What are you doing Sasuke, he said the password correctly!" Sakura screams at him.
"And this time he is good enough to deflect my attack," Sasuke says ready to attack again.
"Wait a second here!" Sakura yells.
"Well done, what gave me away?" The black haired grass ninja asks.
"I knew you were underground the whole time eavesdropping on everything we said, that's why I chose that kind of password, the kind that the real Naruto would never be able to memorize," Sasuke says proudly.
"I see watch and wait, eh? This is going to be more fun than I thought," the ninja says smiling.
Naruto jumps out of a tree, "where is Sakura – chan and Sasuke," he looks around, "what, it's huge!" He screams at the giant snake. Naruto tries to dodge it but he gets captured by the tail and swallowed, "hey, it ate me!"
"That was another phony Naruto!" Sakura says surprised.
"I suppose you'd like to steal this earth scroll wouldn't you? Since you've already have the got a heaven scroll!" The ninja says then swallows his scroll, "now shall we see who will be stealing scrolls from whom? We'll fight to the death," he put one of his fingers in his eye and shows Sakura and Sasuke a vision of them being killed by kunai knifes through their heads. The man takes out two kunai knifes and throws them, but before they hit Sasuke stabs his own leg and gets Sakura and himself out of there. The two are now hiding behind a tree.
Naruto still in the snake is thinking of a way out, "I've got it, art of the doppelganger, solid form," the snake explodes, "I am the shinobi that will become hokage, so don't mess with me! I got better things to do than become a snake turd! Now I have to find Sakura – chan and Sasuke, then my sister."
"Sasuke speak to me are…" Sakura yells but Sasuke covers her mouth, because her screaming will get them discovered and killed. Sakura looks
around and sees a large snake but can't say anything about it, she gets Sasuke hand of her mouth and screams, "Sasuke, snaaaake!" Sasuke jumps in the air and throws a few kunai at the snake as it tries to attack him, he kills the snake, but the ninja with black hair comes out of it.
"For shame, letting your guard down, stay on your toes like good prey should! It makes it more rewarding for the predator." He slithered u the tree like a snake and stopped when he was almost hit by Naruto's kunai.
"Sorry, Sasuke but I can't remember that stupid password," Naruto says with grin.
"Sweet Naruto that was awesome!" Sakura screams.
"Naruto to the rescue, hunh? You're completely psyched to be saving the day but now would be a good time to run for your life! This guy is way out of our league!" Sasuke screams at Naruto.
Hehehe, my complements of your stunning defeat of the giant snake," the ninja says.
"Hey, why don't you pick on someone you own size, or something like that," Naruto says.
Sasuke looks at Naruto then the man, he deactivates his sharingan and says, "If it's our scroll you want, come and get it, take it and leave."
"Sasuke what the heck do you think you're doing?! Is this some clever way of beating the enemy, by handing over everything we've got?!" Naruto yells at him.
"Well done, you're obviously natural born prey, instinctively knowing that your only hope lies in the chance of the predator being distracted by something tastier."
"Come and get it," Sasuke says and throws the scroll at him. Naruto jumps and grabs the scroll before he gets it and land next to Sasuke, "stay out of this you'll ruin everything!" Naruto punches Sasuke in the face, "what do you think you are doing?!"
"Naruto, what are you…?" Sakura says.
"I forgot the stupid password but I know this Sasuke is a fake," Naruto says.
"Naruto I am me you dobe," Sasuke says.
"That's bull; you're the idiot, idiot. You're a coward, which Sasuke isn't so you aren't him. I am not sure we need to be afraid of this guy and even if we did hand over the scroll there is no guaranty that he would spare us. So even if you are Sasuke then I would still be calling you an idiot and maybe a chicken too!" Naruto says.
"This is rich, Naruto, and your right," the ninja licks his eye, "why bargain," he pulls up one of his sleeves to reveal a tattoo and he bits his thumb; "when I can just kill you and take the scroll," he puts blood down the tattoo.
"Shut up," Naruto says and charges for him.
"Don't do it Naruto!" Sasuke yells at his teammate.
"Summoning no jutsu," the ninja says and summons a snake that swats Naruto through a tree and him into another one.
"Naruto," Sakura and Sasuke scream.
"Excellent, but let's not take any chances, eat the boy," the ninja tells his snake.
"Eat snot, sucker!" Naruto yells as he is about to attack, but the ninja blows him away into another tree.
"And now it's Sasuke's turn, let's see how he hands it."
Naruto comes out of nowhere and makes the snake bite the branch in front of Sasuke, "are you ok you big chicken," Naruto's eyes are red now. The ninja wraps his tongue around Naruto and pulls him up to him, "Heyy, let go of me!""
"So the nine tails brat is still alive and kicking! How fascinating that when he is consumed with rage, so of the Kyuubi's chakra, an amazing development." The ninja uses his tongue to lift Naruto's jacket and shirt to reveal the seal, "there's the proof, the spell that seals the monster within appears on your skin like a tattoo," the ninja charges chakra in each of his fingers then jabs them all into Naruto's stomach, knocking him unconscious. The ninja takes the scroll and throws Naruto.
"Naruto," Sakura scream and throws a kunai to stop him from falling. "Sasuke, Naruto may be nothing like you, he can be clumsy and a hand full and sometimes a big nuisance, but at least he's got guts! Naruto is no coward, right?!" Sakura yells.
Sasuke snaps out of his little fear moment and activates his sharingan and pulls out his weapons. Sasuke attaches wire to the weapons and throws them at the ninja, he dodges but Sasuke throws three different weapons at him and he notices the strings. "A sharingan, a three pronged attack!" The ninja catches the weapon in his mouth and Sasuke sends a fire jutsu down the wire and it lights the ninja's head on fire.
"That on child should have such a mastery of the sharingan power, truly a worthy successor to the honored name of the Uchiha clan. In fact in think I want you all to myself after all!"
Sakura runs over to Sasuke's side.
"It's marvelous fun making you show me all of your tricks," Sakura and Sasuke become paralyzed, "you really are his brother, you can see and conceal things with those eyes of yours of your like Itachi himself could never dream of!"
"Just who the heck are you?!" Sasuke scream at the ninja.
"I'm Orochimaru the giant snake, if you would like a rematch then pass this exam as quickly as you can," Orochimaru says as his burns the heaven scroll. "I will see you again if you manage to defeat three sound ninja that answer to me."
"What are you talking about?! We never want to see you again!" Sakura screams.
"Perhaps not but wishing won't chase me away," he makes a hand sign and then his neck grows long and he bites Sasuke on the neck, "I look forward to see you again Sasuke, in your quest for power."
"W – What, everything hurt," Sasuke says and falls to the ground passing out from pain.
"What did you do to Sasuke?!" Sakura asks Orochimaru.
"II just gave him a present to remember me by," he says and vanishes.
"Naruto, Naruto, Sasuke is," Sakura looks to see Naruto still unconscious, she move them to a place where she can hide them and take care of them.
Review and tell me what you think. Next chapter you get to see what Yoru has been doing the whole time wail the rest of her team is fighting Orochimaru. I am going to try to update later today.
