'Kaku'- thoughts


Chapter 8: So It Begins…

"I don't know about you but I believe we have a couple of spies on our hands," Sasori stated with a bored look on his face.

"You know what we do with spies, un?" Deidara grinned maliciously.

"We'll show you," at this, Sasori and Deidara disappeared, only to be replaced by two puppets. Turning around, the group saw that the hallways they had gone through were blocked by two puppets, including Sasori's Hiruko (the puppet that he always is in). Clay spiders scaled the walls, surrounding them. At a further distance, they could see Deidara creating more clay creatures.

"Don't worry about the puppets by the door. I'll handle them." Kankuro took out four summoning scrolls. In a poof of smoke, out came Karasu, Kuroari, Sanshouo and a bear type puppet. It was massive, standing on its hind legs, poisonous claws and fangs visible. It had spikes all the way own its spine until it reached the tail, a poisoned mace. Kankuro launched the puppets towards the other two, who in turn charged at them.

Temari went over to Tenten and handed her weapon and summoning scrolls that were taken away and a few new ones. "Take these back, you may need them." She ordered.

"My scrolls! Where did you find them?" she asked.

"In one of the rooms."


Flashback:

The siblings sprinted down the hall when something caught Temari's eye. Halting, she went to investigate the room, only to find it filled with hundreds of different weapons, scrolls and other equipment. Taking a closer look with assistance from her brothers, they scanned the room, finding Tenten's scrolls and some more complex weaponry techniques. In the same pile, there were forbidden scrolls from each hidden village and what seemed to be some sort of book. Taking them with them, they continued down the hall.

End Flashback


"Tenten, let's go," Neji and Lee attacked Deidara, once Gaara's sand crushed one of the puppets, effectively cutting off his chakra and breaking his arms. Taking out her scroll, she summoned another dragon. This one, was a dark navy colour with eyes the colour of shimmering light blue crystals. It was slim with leathery wings. There was one steak of gold from the tip of its snout winding down to the tip of its tail. It launched several streams of water, which were molded into kunais (1) and thrown by Tenten towards Sasori. He swiped the kunai with Hiruko's tail, only to see it pass right through like water and doubling. Slashing both kunai again, they continued on course only this time, four were aimed at him instead of only one to begin with. Each kunai hit it's target, with an impact harder than steel. Hiruko shattered into several pieces and Sasori was effectively pinned down.

Kankuro already took down one of the puppets and the other was finished off when his newest puppet sliced it with circular blades attached inside it's chest. "Let's get out of here." They fled out the door back to the Sand Village. They didn't see that Sasori and Deidara poofed into two different ninjas.

"It's about time we headed back to Konoha." Gai stated. The seven of them were at the gates preparing to depart.

"If you are going to leave now, give this to Tsunade." The kazekage ordered, handing them a scroll.

"Come back soon!" Temari waved them off.

'We have a major problem on our hands if those documents didn't lie.' Gaara thought, walking away.


"The sealing of the four-tails is complete, six more left." Tobi informed Leader. He smirked once more, Let the games begin.
A/N: There we go! Happy Easter everyone!

(1): The shape or form of what the dragon fires is based on what Tenten wants it to be.
