Many apologies! I wanted to kill time to see if the new Naruto one-shot manga would be released, I heard rumours that we would get to see Mitsuki's past and he's a character of interest in this story. Other than that I've been tied up with work and yada yada yada...you know the drill proof reading will be done later...aint nobody got time for that!
On with the story!
"I'm sure we just ran past that giant crack in the wall! Admit we're lost aren't we?!" Boruto started to get frantic as his head snapped from left to right.
Naruto frowned "A place like this could have millions of giant cracks in the wall!" "Ugh! This guy suuuure is slow!"
Sarada looked around feeling uneasy, "I'm gonna have to agree with Boruto on this one this corrida creeps every part of me out!"
Sakura got close to Sarada and held onto her arm. "The sooner we get out of here the better!"
"If we let Naruto lead we'll never get out of here dattebasa!"
Naruto stopped running and turned back to Boruto grabbing him by his shirt, "Well try to be useful and stop whining like a little sissy boy!" He didn't know why...but with Sasuke and wierd looking guy gone, he felt the need to protect them,especially towards Boruto and Sarada.
Boruto shoved him to the ground, "It takes one to know one!"
Naruto jumped back on his feet. "Why yo-"
Sakura placed her hand over the loud blonde ninja's mouth. "Shhh! Look there's someone up ahead."
"You four! You have an appointment with a cell! How did you get out of there in the first place?!" The clone that locked them up blocked the way.
"Gah! It's the cyclops guy!" Boruto and Naruto hugged each other in fear, then jumped away in disgust.
"I'm sick of this guy! And I'm so tired of his shit! Move!" Sarada growled as she tightened her fists.
Shinchiku clone cracked his knuckles "Bring it on four eyes!"
She charged at him with chakra in her left fist "Oh Yeah? W-well four is wayyyy better than one!"
Naruto placed his hand in front of her, "I got this!"
Sarada raised her brow "Um...no offense but the last time you handled this we were locked in a celll!"
The blonde ninja pouted as Boruto started to laugh, "And you trying to land a punch on him will solve anything?"
She adjusted her her glasses and frowned at him "At least we won't get caught again! Shanarooo!"
The Shinchiku clone sighed "Anytime this year?"
"Definitely!" Before he could blink she was already behind him and like before she focused her chakra to her fist "CHA!"
The clone clone barely moved out of the way making her punch the floor leaving a crater.
Sakura muttered under her breath "That's my line!"
Boruto looked back at the sulking kunoichi "What's your specialty? Standing and doing nothing?"
Her head snapped up "What was that?!"
Naruto started to sweat bullets, he knew where this was going!
Sakura picked up the blonde ninja and threw him in Sarada's direction.
Naruto's heart went out to the boy, but hey that's what he gets from rattling his mouth off like that.
An eye opened into Shinchiku's palm, he turned towards the female Uchiha "It's time to make an example out of yo-"
Boruto collided into the him knocking the air out of him. He held his head and looked up to see Sakura standing over him cracking her knuckles.
"Take back what you just said to me! Cha!"
Boruto started to tremble in fear "Mommy!"
"Not the answer I'm looking for!" She aim to punch him but he rolled aside dodging the impact.
The floor beneath them started to crack up and fall apart!

Mitsuki looked around his surroundings and found himself strapped up on a bed. He cringed at the deformed creatures in jars, half morphed body parts, piles of scrolls that seemed to have endless jutsus waiting to be learned and bloody tools. "It's like an operation room fstraight out from a horror movie!...*gulp* By the look of those bloody tools I guess that it was used on the previous vessel...ugh!...and probably me next"
He started to squirm against the straps that bounded him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Mitsuki turned his head to see a grey haired boy grinding up herbs. He adjusted his glasses and continued to work.
His golden eyes lit up "Ah! you're the orphanage guy that has a huge crush on Orochimaru!"
Kabuto gritted his teeth as he slammed his hand on the table "Its not a crush! Its admiration! I wish to be like him someday!"
"Haha...such denial! I see you blushing!" Mitsuki smiled slyly.
Kabuto rushed over to his side and started to shake him, making the straps that restrained him a little loose.
"If he keeps this up I'll be free in no time!" he slipped his right hand out without the older ninja's knowledge.
"Listen here you twit! Let me just remind you that you're about to be sacrificed...and spouting crap like that out of that potty mouth of yours will make you go in the most cruel way you could ever think about!"
Mitsuki smiled and freed his left hand "You can't do that!"
Kabuto formed his chakra into the shape of a blade and in the blink of an eye he stood behind the pale-skinned boy.
Mitsuki spun around and coiled his arms around the medic ninja tightly until he heard his bones crack.
A smirk appeared on Kabuto's lips much to Mitsuki's confusion,"What's so funny?"
"So naive...you'll have to do better than that if you wanna defeat me!" he touched the younger boy's shoulder making to release his grip.
Mitsuki's eyes widened as he gripped his left shoulder "wha..what do you do to me?"
"That's a little taste of my chakra scapel"
"A scapel? but i don't see any bleeding"
"Silly boy unlike regular scalpels, the chakra scalpel can make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound. Enough jabbering! Let's prepare your body!"
"I don't think so!"
Mitsuki and Kabuto's head turned to see Sasuke and a sharingan creature standing at the door way.
Kabuto gave him a wry smile "Sasuke...how nice of you to drop by and visit, but you see I'm a little busy at the moment."
"Sasuke! Catch!" Mitsuki stretched out his right arm towards him,Sasuke caught it and pulled him away from the medic ninja.
"You okay?" Sasuke noticed him gripping his shoulder.
Mitsuki released a long sigh and then released his grip from his shoulder. "Yeah...it's nothing to worry about"
The minion started to move it's arms about getting the boy's attention.
Sasuke cocked his head on a side "I've been moving around with this thing and I have no idea whatsoever"
"I'll just go out on a limb and say it's hungry..." Mitsuki's stomach started to growl "I could eat a whole cow right about now...I wonder how one of those creatures would taste" He looked at the little creature with a sparkle in his eye causing it to sweat drop and back away in fear.
"I refuse to be ignored!" Kabuto headed straight for two ninjas when the ceiling caved in on top of him along with Naruto,Sakura,Boruto,Sarada and Shinchiku's clone who looked like was dead, since Boruto and Naruto cusioned their fall using his body.
"Mitsuki!" Boruto and Sarada got up and glomped on their team mate.
"Man! Am I glad to see you guys! How did you fall through the ceiling though?"
Boruto hid behind Sarada and pointed towards the pink haired kunoichi "She did it! I swear...never...underestimate...her"
Sasuke smirked "Sakura you did that?!...whoa!"
It was then it occured to Sakura that Sasuke was in the room. "SASUKE-KUN!" She glomped him knocking him off his feet much to his annoyance. "Oh Sasuke! I missed you! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Cut it out already Sakura!" Sasuke started to struggle against the strong grip she had on him.
Mitsuki looked up in time to see the creature disappearing into the ground. "Why was that thing with Sasuke anyway? Is it our ally?"
"Hey Burito, I think you killed that guy!" Naruto raised the clone's arm only for it to fall back.
"Ugh! I'm not listening to you!" Boruto placed his hand over his ears.
Sakura smiled softly "We can rest easy we've got both scrolls anyway"
Naruto's face paled "Um...actually about that...um..well you see.."
"GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!" Sasuke and Sakura yelled in unison
"I think I dropped the earth scroll in the river this morning"
Sakura nodded "Oh that's all..." Then blinked "Wait WHAT!?"
"Is there an end to your stupidity?" Sasuke smacked him behind his head.
*sigh* "Let's get out of here...Once we're outside we'll figure something out" Sasuke left them behind.
"Right!" Everyone followed after him.
Welp that's a wrap! I feel if I strectch this any further I'll start writing crap.

"What the!" Tayuya gaped as she stood in the door way and took in the sight of the room.
"Hey! Lord Orochimaru's vessel is gone!..hmm where would he go anyway?" Jirobo rubbed his stomach.
"No shit sherlock! He went to full his face like you fatso!"
"How dare you! You know I'm sensitive about my weight!" Jirobo shook his fist towards the red haired kunoichi.
Sakon stepped forward "Cut it out you two! Time is running out! The second round of chuunin exams almost upon us and whatever it takes we must get back that vessel!"
Jirobo broke the silence "Where's kidomaru?"
