Sakura, Ino and Neji traveled for a while. This time Sakura knew where to go. They had to head back to the village and go to the east gate, where Sasuke left.
They were walking when suddenly Ino fell to the ground panting. "I can't go anymore. We have been going forever, on and on. I think we are under a genjutsu." Sakura then remember when this same thing happened in the forest of death. But Naruto pretty much or almost killed them.
Sakura helped pulled Ino back to her feet. They saw Neji was looking around, with his byakugan. He gasped. "We must hurry. We are being followed." "Who is it?" asked Sakura, walking over.
Neji started what it looked like looking further into where he saw their followers. "It's… more sound ninja. But not the same people. It's Zaku's gang." Sakura gasped. "But they died, well, Dosu did I'm for sure, he was killed by Garra."
"Well, not anymore." Said neji, getting into battle position. Get ready. They're getting closer."
Soon Ino and Sakura also saw the ninja approaching. Suddenly Kin came out of nowhere! Skidding to a stop when she landed on the ground. "Do not attack. We bring news of lee or whatever."
"Yes. We are not in the mood for attacking, unless you attack us." Said Dosu, trying to be his polite sounding self.
"What is it?" asked Sakura, crossing her arms. "He's okay… but if you want him to be alright, you must come and get him. Or else Sasuke will kill him." Said Zaku, clenching a fist. He still didn't like Sasuke.
"Why doesn't he come and tell us himself!" yelled Sakura in Zaku's face. She wasn't afraid of him. She fought him once in the forest of death.
"I still don't like you." Muttered Zaku, holding back a punch. "Don't do it Zaku." Said Dosu. "We must leave now." Said Kin smirking. Neji, Ino and Neji all knew they were up to something. Maybe not to them. But something…. They were planning something.
Then they left and jumped off somewhere in the trees. Sakura blinked in confusion and then fell to her knees crying. "Sakura, are you alright?" asked Ino. "What's going on? Why is all this happening."
Sakura had tied lee's headband around her waist when she found it, and she holding it, not bothering to answer Ino.
Neji scoffed. He didn't care what was going on with her. But Ino was because she was her friend.
With sasuke"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke to lee. Lee was tied on a tree and couldn't get free.
"Shut up and let me go!" yelled lee. Sasuke sighed and took out a kunai, and then he slashed it across Lee's face!
Lee screamed in pain, so loud, that Sakura and the others heard it. And that's just what happened.
With Sakura.
"That… that sounded like lee." Sakura mumbled, whipping her tears away. "It sounded like he's near." Ino smiled. "So that's good!"
Sakura though shook her head. "I don't think so. He screamed. That means something bad happened to him. Huh.." said sakura, noticing Neji was looking past them with his byakugan. "You are right. They are near."
Sakura stood up and ran over to Neji. "Is Lee alright." "I can't tell. That's mean we have to go. And fast." Sakura was no trying to hold back hot tears. But every one just stood there.
"this is so weird." Suddenly said Ino. "What do you mean?" asked Sakura turning to her. "the sound ninja are acting weird, Dosu's alive. And it seems like Sasuke wants her to come to him. It just doesn't add up."
"you have a point." Said Sakura frowning. Neji sighed angrily. "If you guys want to find him. Why are we just standing here? Lets move." "Okay." Said Sakura, starting to ponder about what Ino realized. It didn't add up… she was correct. So what was going on…?
