Disclaimer: I don't own either Ronin Warriors or Naruto… say how much do you think it will cost?
Chapter 28: Unmoored in the Sea of the Sky…
'THEN HOW DO I START THE BRAKES!' 'Well, you focus.' 'Like this.' Shikamaru thought as the decent started to slow down to a crawl. 'Yep, now keep it at this speed and you will be home by the end of the week.' 'Too slow… hmmm…' Shikamaru thought as he let his focus go and started to plummet back to the planet. 'Get this ball under control before you kill people!' 'I figured out how fast it takes to regain control so we can let it fall right now.' Shikamaru thought as he continued to let it fall.
Back on the roof of the tower…
"Why hasn't he stopped the freefall yet?" Ryo muttered out loud.
"Maybe Shikamaru hasn't woke up yet?" Choji asked as they all watched the ball of death still plummeting at them.
In the ball…
"I say right about now…" Shikamaru stated as he started to concentrate and the ball started to slow down.
With the group…
"He sped it up so he could get down faster!" Ryo shouted in shock. "Wait does that mean he was awake this entire time?" Ryo asked as he cocked his head to the side.
Nearby…
"Shikaku, I know Sarutobi told us that dark blue dot in the sky is Shika… But why is it falling?" Yoshiro asked.
"Maybe because they have the requirements to bring him down." Shikaku replied. "Troublesome."
"WHAT WAS THAT… IF IT WAS THAT ONE WORD IT'S THE COUCH FOR YOU!" Yoshiro shouted.
'Troublesome.' Shikaku thought as he bowed his head.
In the ball…
'See and now how do I disengage the ba…' Shikamaru started to ask as the ball dissolved as he came near the tower. "Okay… clouds are better on this side."
"Smart-baka!" Ino shouted as she walked up.
"Thanks for getting me down. I was up since Naruto woke." Shikamaru stated. "But I had no idea how to land the ball."
"Shikamaru!" A female's voice shouted.
"Kaa-san! Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered as she walked up.
"Now, now, why don't you get out of that and walk home with me." Yoshiro asked.
"How about no. If I disengage the armor I won't be wearing anything because it's sleep mode destroys anything under it." Shikamaru stated as he removed the outer armor. "I can walk home in this."
"Oh… I never knew." Yoshiro stated as she soon followed Shikamaru home.
In Sound Village…
"I want you four to make contact with Sasuke and then bring him here." Orochimaru ordered with bandages over a few parts of his body. 'Damn venom made me switch too early.'
"Lord Orochimaru, if you want I can watch from a far." Kabuto requested.
"No, if I send anyone it will be Kimimaro and then it will be you." Orochimaru stated as he looked at a black suit of armor. "If need be take this to Sasuke."
A/N: There is a reason for the really short chapter... After this is going to be a New Arc, Namely dealing with a sharingan misfit. I tried to keep it in tune with the series in timing. So give the next Chapters some time they will be larger for more takes place in them... And Why didn't anyone review on the last Chapter? TT
