SaiyanWarrior200: Next chapter of A Father's Wrath, in this one Anko has her confrontation with her former sensei, and unlikely alliances must be made to combat a greater threat.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Sasuke can we take a break? We've been searching all day." Said Sakura to her teammate in front of her. Team seven, with the new member Sai were searching for a team that had the scroll they needed, they were walking on giant trees Sasuke in front and Sai in the back.
Sasuke ignored her and continued walking. Seeing she wasn't going to get a answer from him Sakura sighed and turned to her teammate. The boy stared ahead blankly as he walked on past her. No use asking him, as Sai was a rather emotionless ninja, he didn't speak often and when he did it seemed like there was no emotion in his voice.
"Never thought I'd miss Naruto's voice." Mused the pink haired girl. Things had been far too quiet ever since the incident in wave country and Naruto had been taken, she found herself missing him. She still at times blamed herself for what had happened. Afterall, he had gotten onto her for focusing only on Sasuke and never trying to improve herself.
"Though that boy, what was his name Raidou? He does seem like Naruto." She said to herself. She remembered meeting the boy, he seemed to be like Naruto at times and she wondered why he covered his face all the time.
"Sakura! Hurry up!" She heard Sasuke's voice and she went to catch up to them.
Unknown to Team seven, a figure watched them from a close distance. He wore a headband that symbolized him as a Grass nin. But his true idenity which was unknown to anyone at that time was in fact Orochimaru, he had killed a participant in the exams and using a deadly jutsu, had peeled off his face and covered his own with it. That way he could enter the forest undetected.
As he watched the three, his eyes were locked onto the Uchiha. This boy was someone he needed.
Knowing full well that if he fought Sasuke's brother Itachi again, he could lose to him Orochimaru had set his sights on the boy recently. He needed the boy, he needed his body actually, he needed his sharingan eyes that he possessed that he had as a member of the Uchiha clan. By having it, he would be able to counter Itachi's tactics and defeat Akatsuki. Long ago he had desired the Uchiha bloodline so he could learn all the jutsu's in the world, he now needed it for a more personal reason.
He needed Sasuke's body to protect Naruto, his own flesh and blood from Akatsuki. He knew that if they discovered him, they would stop at nothing to get him and extract Kyuubi from him. He knew he could defeat most of them but others like Itachi and The Leader would be a difficult fight and although he had confidence in his abilities, he knew that fighting them without the Sharingan would be a deadly task.
So he needed Sasuke to ensure he would be able to defeat them. And he already had a plan as to how to get Sasuke to let him use him.
A smirk showing on his face, he quietly followed after them prepared to make his move.
Elsewhere...
A crystal ball glowed faintly a dark pink color as it emulated energy. Slowly smoke filled the ball and then gave way to three figures, one of them a pink haired girl and another a raven haired boy.
"There! That's them!" Shouted Keiji Sosano who had used a jutsu on the ball to discover them.
"Yeah, that's them, they are the teammates of the Kyuubi child, but I don't see him with them." Said Shinjiro the fire specialist.
"Hmph, it does not matter." Said Keiji as he put his crystal ball away and turned to Tsuchigumo and him. "Let us go, once we find them we shall make them tell us where he is!" He shouted at them and with that they were off, dashing through the forest at great speed heading towards Sasuke and Sakura.
Elsewhere as well, was Naruto, Tayuya, and Haku were walking at a calm pace, it had been over an hour ever since they had discovered the crucified rain nins and they were heading towards the tower that they needed to go to pass the forest of death.
Haku noticed that Naruto was thinking to himself. He had a feeling he knew what he was thinking about.
Naruto who was wearing his bandana across his face again, was replaying the events that had happened in his mind, it was strange to have found those three rain nins like that, crucified to trees with metal bars driven into their hands to hold them up. It was freaky the way the one ninja had begged them to kill him, they didn't get any info out of him except that three ninjas did this to them and he wanted to be put out of his misery.
As he was thinking about what happened back there he felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Tayuya.
"You alright Naruto? What the heck's gotten into you, you've been all quiet ever since what happened earlier."
"Yeah, it's just that I've been thinking about what happened back there."
Tayuya shook her head. "You think about the past too much, you know that? What's happened happen and there's nothing you can do to fix it Naruto."
"Tayuya, don't call me by my name when we're-" Said Naruto but was quickly interrupted by the red headed kunoichi
"Don't start that same shit again like you did last night Naruto!" Shouted Tayuya at him irritated. "There's no one around here anyway, so I don't see the reason why I have to keep calling you by your fake name."
"Tayuya don't start again, we had this last night." Said the boy to her but she wasn't having none of it.
"I just don't see why the hell you have to hide yourself from these assholes in this place, it's stupid and a load of crap in my opinion that you have to do that." As if to make her statement clear she reached up and pulled the bandana down exposing his face.
"Tayuya!" Shouted Naruto in annoyance pulling it back up. "You know the reason why I have to wear this, it's so people don't recognize me."
Tayuya frowned and went to respond when Haku called out.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything between you two but in about five seconds we're about to have company." He said to them causing them to halt their argument. He had been on guard whilst they argued and had sensed the presence of ninja's.
The three went into a fighting stance waiting for whoever it was that was going to appear.
To their relief they recognized the three figures.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Asked Zaku Abumi as he and his teammates, Kin Tsuchi and Dosu Kinuta walked forward from the woods.
"Not much, we're just heading towards to the tower." Replied Haku a bit glad they were here so he didn't have to continue hearing Naruto argue with Tayuya.
"Hmph, so were we when we stumbled upon you." Muttered Dosu he then turned his one eye to Tayuya. "But we heard something and we went to investigate, seeing that it was you Tayuya, I'm sure those over a mile could hear it."
Tayuya scowled. "Screw you mummy boy." She said to him.
"Well since we're all going to the tower, how about we all go together? I doubt we'll have any trouble with all of us together." Said Naruto.
"Sure why not? We got nothing better to do." Replied Kin.
"Hmph, fine now let's go!" Ordered Tayuya as the six went on their way, though most of them noticed the glances exchanged between Naruto and the flute player.
Later...
Sasuke was breathing hard trying to keep up with the mysterious ninja before him. He wore a hitai-ate that the symbol of Grass country on it but his motives were unknown as he had mysteriously appeared and attacked him Sakura, and Sai. First by summoning a giant snake which had nearly ate them, to using Genjutsus. None of his jutsus or techniques appeared to work against him and he seemed to be playing with him. He also seemed to be able to twist his body and slither like a serpent
"KuKuKu," Laughed the mysterious ninja. "I have enjoyed testing you and you do have skills Sasuke. And your eyes are so similar to Itachi's." That made the Uchiha's eyes widen in shock. "You might have what it takes to kill him, but right now I doubt it. Though you maybe of use to me later on... I leave you now with a gift."
Suddenly the ninja sunk below the giant tree they were on disappearing without a trace.
"Sasuke!" He heard a voice call out and he turned his head and saw Sakura running towards him out of breath. "Are you alright? Who was that guy?"
"I don't know, he just disappeared right now. How is Sai?" He asked her, as he had been knocked down by the grass nin earlier in the fight.
"I, I checked on him, he's injured but he should recover, what just happened with that ninja?"
Sasuke shook his head and he then noticed Sakura's eyes widening in shock and horror. Sensing an ominous presence he turned around and he gasped outloud as a human head appearing to have extended neared him. Unable to move, he felt the head bite down on his neck.
The last thing he heard before he went unconscious was Sakura's scream of horror...
Anko Mitarashi was running through the forest keeping an eye out for any fallen ninjas, part of her duty as the instructor for this part of the exam was to find any wounded or if it were the cause dead ninjas that were unable to continue.
As she was making her way through she stopped and thought about a boy she had seen. It was only for a brief instant she had but something was similar about him.
"Could it be...nah, you're getting loco in the head Anko, being a sister to Naruto has caused me to be overprotective of the little brat." She mused to herself, though part of her wondered where Naruto was at.
She sat down on a log and began eating some dango she had brought with her. No point in wondering on a empty stomach was the Akimichi saying and she had to agree with it. Besides her anyone dared interrupted her eating, she would kick their ass seven ways till sunday
A figure was stealthily making his way out of the forest of death quite pleased with what he had done only minutes ago. The plan was set and the wheels were turning in motion. The Uchiha boy would awaken soon as he knew he possessed a strong will to not be killed by what he had given him. Everything was going according to how he planned it.
As he made his way he then noticed out of the corner of his eye a familiar purple haired girl, that was once his student and would follow any order he gave. While he had first thought nothing of it, he decided that she deserved some thanks from him for raising his son.
And with that like a snake towards a unsuspecting mouse, he slithered his way towards her.
Anko had finished up her dango and was prepared to go when she suddenly felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand straight up as she felt a familiar presence. A presence she hadn't felt in nearly twelve years. Slowly she got up and cautiously reached towards a kunai her eyes darting throughout the area.
He couldn't be here...it wasn't possible for him to be here. She then realized that her legs were shaking and she had to force herself to quit doing so. She had to not look like she was weak as he would only mock and taunt her with his cruel voice that she loathed.
Her eyes darting around the area she suddenly heard something snap and she turned and threw the kunai into the trees.
A dead squirrel impaled by the kunai that she had thrown fell to the ground. A scowl appeared on her face in disgust as she glared at it. "Stupid squirrel, it was probably only that instead of that snake bastard."
"Snake bastard? Is that anyway to call your former sensei?" Asked a voice behind her his voice filled with humor and just a hint of mockingness.
She spun around and her eyes widened in shock and horror at the man before her.
"O-Oro-Orochimaru!!" She shouted at him who smirked in response.
"It's been a while hasn't it Anko-chan?" He asked her with a grin.
"Don't you dare call me that you monster!" She shouted in anger at him knowing that if she showed weakness, he would take advantage of her just like he did when she was his student.
The Snake Sannin chuckled and began to walk towards her. "Stay back!" Ordered Anko to him who continued walking towards her. "I'm warning you, stay back or else!"
He continued his pace towards her and stopped when the two were face to face. Anko tried to keep up a tough face but her fear was starting to show. The man chuckled and then brought up his hand and pressed it against her face. Amusement was in his eyes as the former teacher and student stared at one another.
Anko suddenly reached towards a hidden kunai and pulled it out and stabbed him in the throat, but she wasn't surprised when the figure disappeared in a poof of smoke, obviously a clone.
"Still have that temper I see." Replied a voice.
She turned around and scowled at him who was behind her a smirk on his face. "Why the hell are you here you monster! Isn't it bad enough I still have that accursed tattoo that you gave me as some sick gift? I don't need to see the likes of you!"
Orochimaru frowned at her. "How rude, and here I was going to thank you. I suppose I'll take it back if you're going to act like that."
"Thank me?! Why the hell would you thank me, a thanks from you would be like getting a disease." She said her voice filled with hatred.
The man smirked and that angered her even more. "I wanted to thank you for what've you done the past twelve years, but if you don't want it I can just leave."
Anko then realized what he was talking about. "Where is Naruto!!" She demanded to him. "Tell me where he is!"
"Do not worry about my son Anko-chan, he is perfectly fine I can tell you that. You've done a good job raising him."
Anko frowned at him and pulled out a extra kunai. "Don't play games with me Orochimaru! Tell me where Naruto's at."
Orochimaru chuckled and folded his arms amused. "It's amazing that you loathe me with every fiber in your body yet you care for Naruto who is my son."
Anko spat at him in disgust. "Tell me where he is now!"
Orochimaru rolled his eyes. "Fine, if you're going to act like that I'll tell you and here I thought we could catch up. He's closeby, he has improved under me as I have trained him ever since I've gotten him back. Plus he doesn't look like that maggot Minato anymore; he has more of his true father's looks now."
"Is he here in the exams? Answer me!" Ordered Anko to him.
"That depends if you want to find out. But right now I have other business and plans to deal with." He went to walk away when the purple haired kunoichi appeared right in front on him holding out her arms preventing him from leaving.
"What do you mean other plans? What are you up too?"
Orochimaru chuckled and stared her in the eyes causing her to lose her nerve. "Oh nothing much, certainly nothing I won't tell you."
Anko frowned in determination. "I won't let you ahhh!" She suddenly let out a cry of pain and fell to her knees reaching up towards her neck. She clutched her neck and winced at the pain she was feeling.
Orochimaru smirked and reached down and parted her hair revealing the cursed seal he had placed on her. "You forget that I can inflict pain on you with that seal, I'm surprised knowing you, you didn't try to cut it off with a knife." He said amusingly. He then went to leave.
"Bastard, I won't let you ugh!" Winced Anko in pain trying to stand up and stop him.
"Kukuku...I'll tell Naruto you said hi." And with that he left her.
Anko got to her feet and glared at the spot he was just at.
Whatever he was planning she knew from past experience it couldn't be good.
Sakura Haruno glanced around from the hiding spot she and her injured teammates were at. The two boys laid on the ground unconscious and in pain. Both were injured but Sasuke seemed the worse for wear. After that ninja had bitten him, a strange tatoo with three comma's appeared on his neck. He then collapsed unconscious and she was unable to wake him up. Sai was also injured struck down by a jutsu by the ninja.
She had managed to get both of them and got to a hiding spot, she had set up traps and looked around nervously.
She was scared, what if someone attempted to attack them? Sure the traps should work but what if they got past them. Neither of the boys were in any condition to fight and she could only pass the time quietly to herself hoping that nobody would appear.
Unfortunately for Sakura, luck was not on her side.
"There that's her! She's the teammate of the fox!" Said Shinjiro as he and his partners were in a tree overlooking the girl.
"Finally, now let's get them!" Snarled Tsuchigumo who was quickly stopped by Keiji.
"Hold you fool, look around there's traps setup by her." He ordered grabbing him by his shirt stopping him.
"No problem we can deal with them easily." Said Shinjiro not taking his eyes off the girl.
Keiji ignored him and scanned the area. Of them all only the girl was conscious. Her teammates were knocked out and the raven haired boy seemed to be in great pain. No matter, they only needed one to find out where their target was at.
"Shinjiro, Tsuchigumo, go down there and make her tell us where he's at."
"And if she refuses?" Asked Tsuchigumo
"Kill her..." Was Keiji's reply.
"I doubt we'll have to go that far, she looks like a fragile flower this shouldn't take long." Said Shinjiro.
And with that the two went down there and after disarming the traps prepared to make their entrance.
Sakura ran a wet cloth across Sasuke's forehead when she suddenly heard the sound of cracking branches. She looked up and her eyes widened in shock.
Two figures one wearing a mask the other with face paint across his eyes leapt down from the trees, as they were doing so one of them did a jutsu and sent a fire ball at a giant log she had set up destroying it. They landed on the ground near her. One had a grin on his face while the other his features hidden wielded a huge axe.
"W-Who are you?! W-What are you d-doing here?!" Shouted Sakura hesistantly as she remembered seeing them before.
The blonde one smirked. "Nothing toots, we just saw you and wanted to ask a question."
"W-What kind of question?" She asked as she reached towards a kunai and she stared at the axe one of them held. What good would a kunai do against that?
"Well we've been looking for someone and we have yet to find him."
"Who are you looking for?" Sakura felt nothing but bad intentions from them.
"Quit playing with the whore Shinjiro! Ask her where the fox vessel is at!" Ordered his companion.
Sakura's eyes widened at that. Fox vessel? Did they mean Naruto?
"Right, now tell us, where's your teammate, he's a blonde boy and he appears to be a bit on the idiot side, we want him, now be a good girl and tell us where's he's at and we won't hurt you." Said Shinjiro.
"I-I don't know..." Said Sakura weakly unsure how to answer.
"Grrr! Enough of this, let's make her tell us by force!" Roared the masked one drawing his axe and then charged her.
Sakura gasped in fear and horror as the man charged her planning on chopping her in half.
But a green blur appeared and struck the masked man momentarily stunning him.
The blur stopped and Sakura recognized him. "Lee!"
The student of Might Gai turned his head and smiled at her. "Have no fear Sakura-chan! I will protect you from these brutes!" He then turned his head to them. "You vile savages, what kind of men are you? Attacking a defenseless girl!"
Tsuchigumo roared in anger. "You'll be the first to die worm!" He shouted as he prepared his axe.
Rock Lee went into a fighting stance prepared for battle.
Keiji watching from afar could tell that the boy had superb taijutsu ability by looking at him, perhaps things might get interesting.
Lee dodged a fire jutsu aimed at him and nearly ducked under Tsuchigumo's axe, if he hadn't that axe would've cut him in two. He avoided the wild swings of the masked ninja and realized he wasn't fast enough to battle him at this rate.
"Time to protect a precious person," He said to himself as he reached towards his legs where his weights where at. He dodged another attack and was able to remove the weights and open the gates.
"Die worm!" Shouted Tsuchigumo as he thought he had him. But to his surprise the boy disappeared in a blur right where his axe was suppose to cut him in half. "Huh?!"
He turned around noticed the boy now moving at great speed ran at him and went low.
Lee delivered a solid kick to Tsuchigumo's jaw and sent him upwards into the air surprising Shinjiro and Sakura at what he did. Not done yet Lee leapt up as well and appeared behind him. He began to wrap bandages around him and was prepared to turn him upside down.
"I've seen enough!" Shouted Shinjiro realizing what he was up to. He leapt up and right when Lee was going to go down set the bandages on fire freeing Tsuchigumo before Lee could use the move on him.
The three landed on the ground Tsuchigumo attempting in anger to get rid of the bandages that were stuck to him.
Lee staggered and tried to keep his balance when he heard a voice behind him. "Pathetic, can't either of you two do anything?" He turned around and saw a tall figure in front of him his eyes which seemed like they were soulless and lifeless glaring at him consuming him with his eyes.
Before Lee could even consider doing anything the man's hands became covered in dark purple light and reached out and grabbed Lee by the ribs.
Keiji than began crushing his ribs, and also draining his life-force with the technique he was using. Lee attempted to struggle but was unable to move his iron grasp. A loud cry of pain escaped him in agony as he felt his ribs and a sadistic smile was on Keiji's face listening to him.
"Stop it! If you continue doing that you'll kill him!" Shouted Sakura seeing enough. She realized that Lee despite the many times she rejected him had come to her aid when she needed it the most.
Keiji scowled and tossed the boy into the ground, Lee attempted to get up but was in no condition to do so let alone fight.
"Tell us where the vessel for Kyuubi is girl!" Ordered Keiji to her.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Said Sakura fearfully.
"Don't lie foolish girl, we know your his teammate, where is he!"
"I...I don't know, he disappeared two months ago! I haven't seen him since then."
Keiji scowled in disgust. "Shinjiro, Tsuchigumo! Get her, force her to tell us where he's at."
Sakura gulped in fear as the two began to advance towards her.
Naruto and the others were making their way across the Forest of Death they suddenly heard what sounded like battle.
"I wonder what's going on?" Mused Haku.
"The fight isn't far from here," Said Dosu using his hearing. "Sounds like two against one."
"Well it's no matter to us, let's keep on going." Said Kin
"Wait guys, something's telling me this isn't a ordinary fight." Said Naruto to them who then went in the direction where it was coming from.
"Dammit Naruto, we don't need to waste time it's probably nothing important anyway." Cursed Tayuya as they followed him.
The six Sound nins came across the battle as they hid in the trees, it was two against one and the girl was losing badly.
Naruto's eyes widened when he had saw her. It was Sakura!
"Hmph, I wonder what this is about." Muttered Zaku watching on. The girl was on her knees her pink hair being held by one of them a blonde haired ninja saying how soft it was.
Naruto frowned as he watched the battle. Sakura was by herself he could tell, and there was no one around to help her as Sasuke and the others were done. He watched as Sakura surprisingly cut off part of her hair freeing herself from his grip.
The six continued watching and despite Sakura's attempts to fend them off she was easily outmatched. A third man watched on his arms folded across his chest. Naruto saw Sasuke and their partner unconscious and a boy wearing green badly hurt as well.
"We should do something." Muttered Haku as Sakura got knocked to the ground and narrowly avoided being beheaded.
"What? Why, this doesn't concern us, why should we interfere." Asked Kin to him. Part of her was glad to see the prissy girl get beaten but she wasn't liking the two to one odds.
They watched on as the blonde man knelt down to the girl.
"Enough of this!" Ordered Keiji. "The girl is useless, kill her and her teammates and let's go, we'll find the fox elsewhere."
Shinjiro ignored him and cupped the terrified girl's jaw in his hand. "A shame you have to die, but maybe if you're warm I can give you a painless death." He said as he then licked her across the cheek with his tongue.
Naruto had seen enough, before any of the others could stop him he was running across the branches towards the fight.
"Naruto?! What the hell are you doing?!" Shouted Tayuya in shock at what he was doing but he didn't hear her as neared them.
Shinjiro heard a battle cry and he turned his head and saw to his shock a black haired boy wearing a bandana across his face leaping out of the trees with his arm raised down upon him.
Naruto fell towards him and before anyone could react to what was happening delivered a powerful punch to his jaw that knocked him off of Sakura and sent him rolling across the ground.
Sakura stunned at her unexpected savior saw the boy turn his head and look at her, and for a brief moment she saw instead of the boy before her, Naruto Uzumaki. "Argghhh!" Cried out Shinjiro in pain clutching his jaw as he stood up. "Why you little piece of trash! I'll kill you for that!" He shouted at him.
The boy got into a stance in front of Sakura shielding her with his own body.
Keiji glared at him. "I admire your courage boy, but it want save you or the girl! Kill him!" He ordered Tsuchigumo.
Tsuchigumo roared and got out his axe and went to attack when he was suddenly intercepted by a three giant monkey like creatures wielding clubs.
"Raidou you dipshit?! What the fuck where you thinking doing that!" Shouted a red haired girl wielding a flute as her Dooki fended off the masked ninja.
The boy smiled at the girl. "Thanks for coming Tayuya."
"Don't thank me, someone's gotta make sure you don't get us all killed you dumbass!" Shouted the girl at him.
Shinjiro seeing his chance fired an attack shaped like a hawk made of fire but he found it countered by a wall of ice that deflected it.
"I think what Tayuya is trying to say Raidou, is that if one of us have to do something crazy, then the rest of us have to do it as well." Said a feminine looking boy who had made the ice wall, behind him where three others as well.
The boy smiled at his other partner and The Sound Trio. "Well can't say I'm not glad you guys decided to come anyway."
Keiji snarled at them in fury. "So you have come to aid the girl? How noble, and how disgusting! You shall all be sacrifices to Jashin when this is over with." He vowed as he and the others regrouped
"Hey!" Shouted a loud obnoxious voce. "Don't count out us leaf nins either!"
"Oh way to blow our cover Ino, how troublesome." Said another voice.
Three leaf nins stepped out of the bushes they were hiding in.
"I-Ino?!" Said Sakura in surprise that she was here.
"Who were you expecting forehead girl? Sasuke-kun can't rely on someone like you to protect him after all." Said the blonde to her with her teammates Shikamaru and Chouji behind her. They had been watching the fight and had been prepared to help her out when the Sound boy appeared.
Sakura ignored her and got to her feet standing back up.
"Just stay behind us Sakura, and you'll be alright." Said the boy known as Raidou to her.
"W-Wait how do you know my name?"
The boy smiled and winked at her. "That's for me to know and for you to find out."
"Well it's ten against three, are you pieces of shit going to stay and fight or run with your tail's in between your damn legs?" Said Tayuya to the three.
"Ten against three? That would be about three to one, but let's even the odds a bit." Said a voice. Leaping down next to Keiji, Tsuchigumo, and Shinjiro where three more ninjas, but they were with them.
Naruto instantly recognized the leader of the three who just arrived. "Muta!"
Muta Daidouji seeing him smirked beneath his veil. "Yes, we meet again boy, but this time I intend to win. Are you having that much trouble with just a bunch of genins that you need my help Keiji?"
"Silence worm, they caught us off guard, we would handle them easily with or without you." Growled Keiji
"Earlier the leaf and sound where at each other's throats, now you have teamed up to battle us? Talk about irony. But since you have interfered with our mission, we have no choice to kill you, and I'll enjoy defeating you boy." Said Muta directing it towards Naruto.
Naruto frowned and drew his sword. "There's an old saying, if you want some, come get some!!"
The six agents of Akatsuki each went into a fighting stance. Hanzo, Tsuchigumo, Yujo Shouhei, Shinjiro, Muta Daidouji, and Keiji Sosano.
"We'll deal with you and the rest of the scum that dared interfered with our mission in the name of Jashin!" Shouted Keiji.
Leaf, Sound, and Rain. Konoha, Oto, and Ame, three different groups each having their own agenda. To those who were of Sound and Leaf after their earlier confrontation they found themselves unexpectedly teaming up to battle a deadly foe. To those who were of Rain they planned to kill those who dared attempt to halt their progress in their mission.
And with the battle about to begin, It appeared that the Forest of Death would be living up to its name.
A/N: There this chapter's done with. I hope you have enjoyed it. Next chapter the battle between the three groups begin, and The agents might find that their target is closer than they think. I'll see you guys next time.
