Mighty Guy was nervous. Jusa and Neve were as passionate about learning as he was about youth. Jusa was almost to perfect for him. I cannot mess this up. My rival Kakashi would laugh at me plus I would lose a wonderful person. Guy thought as they entered the opera house. Lee was talking in a quiet voice with Neve about learning new techniques. Neve was absorbing all information like the student she was. Guy had never been to an opera but when having dinner Jusa had told them how the story was told through song, he became interested. So they were going to see the Phantom of the Opera on opening night.

"Lee, its full of mystery, romance, and action. Its a love story yet it is still mysterious. I read the reviews. It sounds beautiful. But its told in song." Neve said. Lee perked up. Guy, arm in arm with Jusa, returned his smile. The curtain was going up and the crowd got silent as the director came out to greet the audience. The four companions settled in and watched the show.

In the Consul's office, Rania, Danok, and Galen were planning a different show for a different audience.

"I think we ought to go to Fire Country and beat some sense into the unit Orochimaru is sending." Danok said. Rania spoke.

"If we do that, then Fire Country could declare war on us. Galen, allow them to get to Velos's holdings in the ocean. If they land there and cause trouble, then I will personally handle them. Danok said that Orochimaru is using celluar research to keep them alive. Danok's body implosion killed one of them so I think I can handle the other three. Besides, they won't be looking for me to be there and they will have orders to gather experiments. Its time we send Orochimaru a real message. Taking out his elites will certainly shake the core. ROOT will send their best too. I can easily win against them." Rania said eyes blazing. Galen was seated behind his desk. He knew Rania could do this but she wasn't going alone.

"Who is going to accompany you?" Galen asked. Rania smiled.

"Well, Danok can't because he's got to meet with Counciller Kosser about the north merchants attacks, so I was hoping a certain person would like to get out from their office for a day or two." Rania said smiling at Galen. Galen's green eyes glowed. Rania laughed.

"I think I can get the meeting with Kosser held off. Maybe it is time that the enemy learns that when you stir a hornets nest, you get stung." Galen said. Danok grinned. Rania gave a laugh that could chill the hardest of warriors. Orochimaru would be needing new commander after tonight. Without warning, a grey clad boy rushed in.

"Lord Consul, the Isle Of Adras is being attacked by Konoha! The civilians are fleeing but the forces are losing ground. Your orders?!" The courier asked. All three stood up. Galen picked up his ling sword and placed it on his hip. Rania and Danok already had their weapons.

"Tell the forces to pull back to safety. We three will handle this. Put the Enforcers on alert 2. We depart now." Galen said as a black ball cover them. The boy shot off to do as the Consul ordered. In less than a minute, Rania, Galen, and Danok were in the middle of a destoryed village. Galen's green eyes burned with a hidden fire. Rania's eyes were now a burning blood red, and Danok's were a deadly red black. The Sound three were laughing as civilians ran for their lives.

"Our Hokage will be pleased! More bodies! More life!" Kidomaru laughed.

"Well, well if it isn't spider freak and his little band of misfits." Danok said. Kidomaru whirled.

"YOU! YOU KILLED KIMMARIO! I'LL KILL YOU." He roared. Danok smiled.

"I didn't come alone. After all, you need more than one cat to slaughter a nest of vermin." At those words, Ranian and Galen emerged from behind him. The Sound three felt something they hadn't felt in a long time.
