Chapter 11

The Sabotage

Disclaimer: I haven't put this in a while so I'll have Lee do it! Lee: Hinata645 does not own the anime Naruto! Me: Yay Lee! Good job! Let's go celebrate! drags Lee away.

Nuzumi went backed a little ways down the hill, hoping that he wasn't seen, and sat at the base of it, legs and arms crossed.

'Hmm... Now how am I going to do this? Sasuke could back up into trip wire, setting off an explosion, and killing him, Sakura would be sad, but I would be there for her anyways! But, if that plan is avoided, I could always go down there and kill him myself, first making a shadow clone, taking Sakura away, and then the real me would go and kill Sasuke, making it look like an accident, because I don't want to kill Lee. He's my closest friend, I have to make him avoid everything. Okay, I think I'm ready.'

Nuzumi stood up, wiped himself off of little bugs and twigs, and made the hand sign. "Shadow Clone jutsu!" He cried, as softly as he could. He made one clone, looking identicle, down to the last little blemish on his skin. He told his clone, "You know what to do right? Your my clone, so I guess you do." The clone nodded, then started walking up the hill.

The Clone's P.O.V.

He walked down to Sakura and the others, trying not to stumble down the hill as he went.

"Hey! Nuzumi, come here! Hurry!" Sakura yelled at him, thinking that "Nuzumi" could stop Lee and Sasuke, who were already kicking and punching at each other.

"Sakura, I'm coming! WHAAAAAA!" He stumbled on a rock, not looking where he was going and rolled down the hill. He then got up and ran over to Sakura, brushing himself off.

"What do you want? What's Lee and Sasuke doing? What's going on here?" He asked her, looking in her emerald eyes.

"Sasuke and Lee are fighting and I can't stop them! Please, will you help? I don't want to see either of my friends in the hospital again!" She pleaded with him, grabbing at his jumpsuit.

"Uhhh, I don't think I can, Sakura," He told her, "I really think that they should fight to test their skills with one another."

Sakura looked at him, surprised that he actually didn't listen to her. Usually, Nuzumi hated it when his friends were fighting and did what ever Sakura asked him, but this wasn't Nuzumi.

"Sakura, I think it would be best if we left and came back later. If one of them got hurt, it would be horrible to watch." The real Nuzumi was lurking in a very leafy tree, listening for the signal, which that was it.

"Okay, but we should come back in about thirty minutes, just to make sure they're okay..." Sakura told the clone as they walked away to get something to eat. (A/N: Can clones go very far away from the original?)

The real Nuzumi watched them go, taking out some trip wire and just when Lee and Sasuke were turned away from him, sprang across tree to tree, the wire invisible to the naked eye. Only Nuzumi knew where they were. 'I hope this goes right...' He thought to himself.

Sasuke and Lee were heading right towards the wire when suddenly Sasuke pulled an unexpected move and they dodged the wire. 'AH! So close!' Nuzumi yelled in his brain.

He continued to watch them for a few minutes, Lee usually landing punches on Sasuke, who usually kicked Lee. This continued, until Sasuke found a weak spot in Lee's defense, and got him to fall down. He then picke dLee up, swinging him around and was sent flying towards the wires that Nuzumi had strung earlier. Nuzumi's heart skipped a beat. 'Lee! He's headed straight for the wires! I gotta help him!' He could only think as he jumped toward Lee, full speed, caught him, but as he was trowing him away from the wires, the force knocked him back into one.

The wire triggered a bomb immediantly, and exploded, setting off a chain reaction. Nuzumi was caught in all of this, and Lee and Sasuke sould only watch as their friend was being blown into pieces. They watched in horror as Nuzumi was bounced from tree to tree, catching every wire he had strung. By the time it was over, he was literally a bloody pulp. He layed there, Lee and Sasuke couldn't move. Gai made the same mistake leaving again, so he wasn't there to save him. Lee ran over to Nuzumi, asking for him to speak, and listening for a heart beat. Sasuke stood there, petrified, at the sight he saw. He couldn't move his body. He started thinking, 'Who put those there? I mean they were perfectly aligned so if one went off the person was sent flying the other direction, into another... I think it was meant for me! Nuzumi had been going out with Sakura before I came, so it must've been him!'

With Sakura and the Clone...

"Nuzumi, why did we have to leave? I mean you're not acting like yourself," Sakura said, as they were walking to get some ramen at Ichiraku's, she then added, "I mean usually you wouldn't let them fight, your too soft hearted and kind to let them do that."

"Uhhh... well, I just thought it would be best to take you away for a while until it was over. I didn't want you seeing them fight and get severly hurt." He said, casually walking along the crowded street, knowing it like the back of his hand, so he didn't need to look up. The clone was thinking that she was onto thier plot, so he immediantly changed the subject. "Uhh, Sakura, lets talk about something else, is that okay with you? We haven't talked since Sasuke came back, and that was like a week ago... AH!" He slapped himself on the forehead, "Everybody totally forgot about the Chunin Exams! Iruka Sensei was right, we shouldv'e paid more attention to our training and not dating and stuff, I'm such an idiot!" He was beating himself up mentally and physically, Sakura stopped him.

"What's beating yourself up going to do about anything? It's past us now, we have next year, and if we miss that one, there's the one in the fall. It's okay, we have a while until the next one so you can relax." She told him, trying to make him calm down. She looked at him strangely, as were some other innocent bystanders who wer looking horrified at a sudden burst of outragement by some small twelve year old Genin.

He looked at her with apologetic eyes and said, "Gomen ni sai, Sakura, I don't know what came over me. Will you forgive me?" He asked, his big blue puppy eyes looking at her emerald ones.

She sighed. "Yes, I forgive you, now can we go eat? I'm so starving, I could eat a thousand... I don't know, I could eat a thousand somethings." She said, holding her hands up in a shrug. They laughed, and entered the ramen shop. The sat down at the stools, looking at the menu, Nuzumi didn't have to, he just liked looking at the pictures. He felt funny, like the feeling something was about to go wrong. Like the feeling he gets when the real Nuzumi makes him disapear! He quickly said to Sakura, who was still looking at the menu, making sure that she would get the chicken ramen, "I have to go, something just unexpectedly came up..." He vanished, Sakura had seen that it was a clone. She was furious, for Nuzumi triking her with a clone! Did he think this was funny? She was going back to the forest to give him a piece of her mind and to beat him up anyway.

On her way there, she felt a series of rumblings and heard many explosions, so she raced to the top of the hill. What she saw, she would never forget. She saw lots of smoke clearing, and when it was finally gone and she could see again, the images she saw were horrific. Nuzumi laying there in a bloody pulp, surely dead, Lee running over to him and screaming his name, Sasuke just standing there, like nothing ever happened, and she could just stand there too.
