NARUTO

Chapter one DEMON DRAGON: part two



" HE'S LATE!!!" yelled an enraged Naruto.

"What is that the TENTH trillion time!!" he continued at the top of his lungs.

The cell group that consisted of Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto had been instructed to meet

up with their teacher Kakashi for pre-training for the Chunin exams, but with a twist of

coincidence their teacher Kakashi has yet to show.

"Calm down Naruto, he's been late before, he'll show, he always does" insured

Sakura the only female of the group. Her pink tinted hair falls effortlessly along her

spine, and she tries her best to carry her self with feminine grace. She turned her attention

and beamed at Sasuke who was sitting in slumber-like poise. The cell stood atop a hill

with a solitary tree in the middle, the wind was brief and all that could be heard was

Naruto's howls.

" Kakashi you damn instructor, I'm missing out on ramen Friday!!" Naruto

peered on the edge of the hill, while Sasuke sat his back on the trees huge trunk. He eyed

Naruto down until all of Naruto's howls were too much.

" Will you pipe down you impetuous dunce" Sasuke reared while he tried to

maintain tranquility.

" IMPETUOUS? IMPETUOUS? I'LL SHOW YOU IMPETUOUS!!!" Naruto

leaped at sasuke but was hauled back by a frantic Sakura.

" Don't fight you two, save your energy for Kakashi's training" Sakura preached

but deep in her she knew her inner-Sakura felt differently

"And besides, my beloved Sasuke will murder you Naruto."

" And beside, Naruto you don't even know what Impetuous means" Sakura

informed. " Oh I know I don't--- I'll give any reason to just kill SASUKE!!" Naruto

exclaimed. Sasuke scoffed and slid deeper into the tree trunk.

" Listen up you two." Sasuke started catching the attention of them both

"What now? Are you finally gonna admit that I'm better then you Sasuke?"

Naruto uttered holding his chest out with his hands on his waist. Sasuke sighed deeply

and continued

" If you haven't notice, Kakashi has been a little later then usual." Sasuke stood

up and stuffed his hands in his pockets. He steered towards the incline until finally

stopping.

"You two can linger here if you like, but I'm going to go look around." Sasuke

headed down the hill with Sakura following suit. Naruto just stood there folding his arms

on his chest and squinting like a cat.

" You two do that, I'll just--- I'll---oh all right, wait for me!!" scowled Naruto

running after the two.

"KAKASHI!"



"KAKASHI!"

"KAKASHI!"

The groups voices Echoed around the village of tree and leaf as they paced around

every corridor and every alley. After a while of separation the cell finally regrouped

meeting and discussing their discoveries.

" Just nothing. He isn't with lord Hokage, not even Iruka saw him" breathed

Sakura as she paced to a stop.

"What about you Naruto, have any luck?" she asked, holding her chest while

catching her breath.

The tired Naruto fanned himself while trying to speak, and after finally taking in enough

air Naruto let out an answer.

" Well, I went to every Ramen shop but their was no luck" he said exhausted. All

the blood in Sakura boiled up, until it surfaced to her head and exploded.

" You what? A ramen shop, why would you think sensei Kakashi would be there

you idiot" Sakura hurdled at Naruto as she tried desperately to teach him how to think

right.

" It seemed like a good idea at the time" Naruto said while at the same time trying

to dodge a barrage of inanimate objects getting flung at his head. Sakura grabs at Naruto

but he slips away like a greasy pig. They run around like monkeys in a cage until the two

finally stop when.

" YOU TWO!" yelled Sasuke atop an old raggedy roof.

" I may have a clue to master Kakashi's whereabouts."

Sakura and Naruto leap in joy, so ecstatic that they held hands and rejoiced in a

merry-go-round.

" Ahem!" interrupted Sasuke who was getting nauseous of the sight. Sakura

realizes her self-sin, and withdrew her hand from Naruto.

" I'm going to be sick, I just touched a maniac!' she bellowed in fear.

" Its not that bad" Naruto explained sniffing his palm " I wash it at least every

year"

" ahhhhh, I touched a maniac that washes his hand once a year ahhhhhh!!"

Sakura dropped to her knees and went to a state of depression.

" Will you two stop playing around and come follow me for the last time"

Sasuke exclaimed trying not to get all worked up. He leaped into the air, fading with the

wind, while the other two followed his cue.

A stream of velocity stricken figures dashed through a canopy of trees. From branch to

branch, they rapidity jumped with ease. The leaves brushed pass them in midair as their

bodies blurred more and more. They bounce off of trunks and stems gaining momentum

but finally decided to come to a halt.

The three landed in, what could precisely be described as the center of the

wooden area. Every dense thicket seemed to steer away from the center, where the light

from the sun came directly on.

The cell walked closer to the middle and noticed a crater where the light went

unswervingly into. The cavernous hole had edges that were burnt, and all the grass

around that area was scarcely in existence. Smoke seared from the crater and remained

constant.

" Whoa, talk about deep," uttered Naruto squinting his cat like eyes down the

crater.

"So why did you bring us here?" Sakura asked reverting her glance from the

smoky hole to Sasuke who was now heading towards a bush nearby. He shifted through

the bushes until he revealed a shinobi vest. It was torn and raggedy with dirt marks

scraped all over it. The six pockets where the shurikens are held were drooping and

halfway falling off.

" It's a shinobi vest of the konohagakure village" gasped Sakura cupping her

mouth.

"Oh Sasuke, you're the greatest, you found a clue" she thought deeply.

Sasuke strolled over the ridge of the crater and peered down trying hard to see

throw the thick smoke. He threw down the green vest near the edge and looked around

while thinking aloud

" If my assumption is correct, Master Kakashi should be-----"

He was going to continue but he was suddenly cut short when he felt three shurikens

cutting through air towards their direction.

" EVERY ONE MOVE IT!!!" with that, the cell all leaped into the air fading with a haze.



The three shuriken stars, with loud tucks, landed at the cells previous spot. The

dust cleared and everything stood still beside the smoke, which flowed into the air.

Sasuke had leaped into a nearby branch big enough to accommodate an elephant, with a

canopy that Sasuke used for cover. He went inside his holster, removing two throwing

blades, and readied them.

Sakura dashed into a bush and was huddled with all her weapons ready. She

gazed through the bushes leaves and spotted Naruto behind a tree.

Once again the air was cut, this time a bombardment of shurikens flew towards all

the locations. Sasuke jumped one branch upward, but the barrage followed him up. The

stars tucked themselves into the wood as the attack fallowed Sasuke aloft.

A hysterical Sakura desperately tried to duck a melee of shurikens. The leaves of

the bushes soared everywhere as she leaped from bush to tree. With her arm now bruised,

Sakura hid deeper into the thicket of entanglement with the ninja stars barely giving her

mercy.

Naruto during this whole hectic time found his way up to the highest point of a

tree.

" That sucker will never see this coming, an attack from above, its so brilliant"

Naruto grinned.

Sasuke finally jumped to the center of the woods with the spotlight shining on top

of him. Sasuke out of breath, called out for the attacker but no reply was given to him.

" Come out and face me, I'm right here!" Sasuke called out one last time.

The sound of Naruto and Sakura's screams ricocheted within the wooded area. He had no

time to check it out, something from the corner of Sasuke's eye caught his attention but it

was to late to react,

"Dimmit I'm caught!"

Four throwing blades caught Sasuke by his shoulders and legs. He skid backwards

and slammed his back against a tree trunk causing more excoriating pain as the gush of

blood splattered on the wooden surface of the tree.

He exerted blood all from his mouth as it soared out his jaws and into the air. He

was pinned and almost completely paralyzed with his blood flowing down from his

wounded body. Sasuke's whole body was now positioned stiffly on the huge tree trunk.



" Damn you!" Sasuke let out the only bit of energy within his body. His pinned

limbs against the tree seared with a burning sting. All the throbbing steered into his head

and his brain now felt empty and hazy.

A translucent figure carrying two immobile corpses strolled towards him. The

figure flanged the motionless bodies to the ground with a thud. Sasuke barely made out

the image as he realized faintly they were Sakura and Naruto. The two were badly

injured, who could this Ninja be that could take out three off them in an instant

" You Damn Bastard!!" filled with overwhelmed anger; Sasuke nudged his

pinned limbs and staggered towards the figure. He swayed back and forth trying to

preserve his sane motion. The faint image of the ninja slowly hazed in Sasukes eyes. The

four placed throwing blades dangled from his shoulder and legs as Sasuke made his way

to the faint outline. Blood splattered as he walked, it streamed down his legs and

shoulders and splashed like a puddle on the ground.

The image slowly faded, Sasuke was finally starting to faint, his eyes were

leveled with the floor as he fell to his side. His muscles gave up all kinetic motion, and

they ached as felt the Ninja motioning towards him. The voice of the ninja entered his

head; it spiraled within his brain, until he couldn't refuse it anymore.

" I'M THE FROM THE SACRED MOON CLAN, COME BACK HERE EVER

AGAIN AND YOU'LL REGRET IT!!"

************************************************************************

The birds sang their usual morning song, while the wind joined in with its whisper

of calm air. The trees rustled with harmony throwing its leaves into the air allowing them

to travel to where they please. The clouds steadily tread in the endless blue traveling to

where ever the clouds go.

With all this peace of nature life, some living beings prefer a life of carnage.

Right now a certain living being is far beyond living, and his life is in jeopardy.

" Sasuke, wake up Sasuke---please wake up" the dim voice vibrated in Sasuke's

head, he was now regaining life. One figure was hovering over him, and it was Sakura.

"Sakura, you're alive?" he was shocked, he was sure he heard what he thought he

heard, and if that was true then none of them should have been alive.

" Where's---uh!!" searing pain filled his shoulders, his arms were

motionless and so were his legs, and now even sitting upright pained him. He was laying

on a hard dirt surface and his wounds were bandaged up. He glanced around and found

Naruto in the corner of this unusual cave. It echoed of water droplets on the ground and

was so damp there was fog within it.

" Where are we?" Sasuke asked looking down at his immobile limbs.

" We don't know, we just gained consciousness a while ago" Sakura answered as

if her mouth was heavy. As she moved in closer to whisper to Sasuke, her bruises were

more noticeable. She had scars everywhere and one thick one that was halfway covered

by a bandage on her right arm. Her ninja attire looked like she'd been through war and

her face half covered with bandages.

"Psst---" Sakura started, trying to get Sasuke's attention

" What is it now?" Sasuke said irritably. Sakura gazed over at Naruto who was

sitting with his back turned, she reverted her view back to Sasuke and started to whisper

in his ear

" Naruto's depressed again, that mysterious ninja whipped him in two seconds, so

try and not mention it okay?" said the outer Sakura on a whisper tone, but the inner

Sakura erupted in her head with glee.

"Get that crybaby and crush his world, put him in deep depression baby haha!!"

"That doesn't concern me, what concerns me right now--------"

A sound came from outside of the misty cave's entrance causing all three of the

ninja cadets to turn their heads. A silhouette emerged between the mist and them. A

young boy with hair of raven hue entered the caves entrance. He wielded a ninja

headband and had hair that covered his emotionless face. His pale face had eyes of

piercing manner, which looked around at the shocked group.

The three all stood immobilized in their spot, as the boy dropped his heavy

luggage. The force of the bag landing caused a few bats to storm out into to the outside.

Sasuke stared transfixed on the boy, but the other two were in fear for they had

seen the ninja who attacked them in the woods.

" IT----IT'S-----HIM!!!!" Rumbled Naruto and Sakura in fear.
