Sakura was woken up by the ships sudden lurch to the side due to a large wave. "Ugh! I absolutely hate these stupid ships, it would have been less sickening to just walk across the ocean." Sakura said to the empty little cabin she was currently occupying. Slipping on a long sleeve shirt over her sports bra, she opened the cabin door and glanced down the hallway. No one was coming. As silently as she could she tip toed down the hall, barely making a sound until she reached the captains dorm, hearing whispering coming from inside she put her ear to the door. However she could only catch snippets of the conversation going on.

"Two girls-sell-slaves-Rock"

"Good price-bring in"

"What- of-boys"

"Slit throats- dump-board"

Using common sense, Sakura could easily piece together what they were planning, to sell her and Amaya as slaves and kill her other two comrades. Her heart thumped faster but she still managed to glance out one of the ships windows, the waves were crazy but she could see the shores of Mist.

Silent as a mouse Sakura snuck back down the hall way stopping at Chojuro's door, she just tapped at the door knowing how light of a sleeper he was. Not even a second later there he was, opening the door for her. She put her finger to her mouth, motioning for him to keep quiet. Then she beckoned him to follow her to Amaya's room. She did the same thing and waited for Amaya to follow them to Hideki's room. But Hideki was not a light sleeper, she was forced to actually knock on his door but luckily no guards seemed to recognize the noise.

Hideki opened the door louder than Sakura would have liked but upon seeing the three of them there, he knew to silent. Sakura used sign language to explain what she had heard. They nodded in understanding and Amaya suggested they steal one of the ships little boats to get to shore.

Sakura let Chojuro lead the way since he had already learned the ships lay out and in turn learned how to escape to one of the life boats. One could know when a shinobi team was well trained and organized because it looked like a game of follow the leader. Where Chojuro stepped they stepped, when he stopped, they stopped, and when he ran, they followed him at the same speed.

It wasn't exactly difficult to get passed a pirate guard, they weren't as skilled as a shinobi, but that's why they had a lot of them, to put their security on par to a shinobi's.

They made it to the side of the bottom level where the life boats were stored. Amaya and Sakura got settled in while Chojuro and Hideki silently lowered it into the water, then with a simple leap they landed in the boat next to the girls. Each member grabbed a paddle and started rowing, as soon as one of the pirates saw another boat in the water they would sound the alarm, so they paddled fast with Sakura occasionally using a wind jutsu to give them a boost. It was when they were just a mile away from Mist's shore that they heard the screams of the villagers.
