Prologue
Beginning of the Hunt
"Naruto you piece of crap, you are dead!!" Uchiha Sasuke Manga chap3
Scuffling was heard as a pair of middle-aged rookie shinobi's wandered one of the most dangerous forests, one that was said to hold a great evil. So far though they only found a bunny and a few tigers. "Did you hear that Mace?" the slightly younger shinobi glanced up from his spot behind his friend one tree branch held in one hand trying to get over. "Hear what?" he asked snapping the offending branch in two with a growl as he nearly tripped over a few twigs that sprouted form the ground in the past years.
Jacob snorted as he rounded his head to the side throwing his friend a cocky glance with a smug smile "that this place" he waved his arms dramatically meaning the whole forest "would hold a great evil, don't you find that absurd?" he said chuckling at the very thought while Mace looked a bit doubtful look.
"Come on." Jacob shifted his blue hat to get a better view at his friend making an almost pathetic whine as he added more to his statement "it's just a forest like everyday thing's don't worry about it" leaping up he began to jump form tree to tree leaving his best friend down alone yelling something about slowpoke was soon heard in the distance. Lowering his head the blond ninja scratched his noise following his friend at a slower pace; he didn't want to use up all his energy so soon.
The two continued to leap at a fast pace using there putting there training learned over the past years to good use remaining hidden at all times incase of an ambush or such. The Hokage had warned them about some missing- nins that appeared suddenly near the village and were told to keep on guard incase of some sudden attack. However for these two ninjas nothing seemed to scare them, except the mission itself, but only to one member of e two-man job.
"Hey Jacob!"
The said thirty year old looked back at the twenty nine year old, both were wearing ANBU outfits to show there rank but not only that but to remain hidden using the forested area as a excellent source of camouflage. "Hm?" the man grunted something inaudible as he stopped on the next branch gripping the bark tightly as he looked behind at his comrade.
"I saw the cave over there!" Mace pointed towards a clearing not too far away masked and covered with bushes and moss making it a hard spot to uncover with the naked eye, luckily he had one of the most precise observer with him or else he never would have found it. Chuckling he dropped to the ground with a silent thud as his knee hit the ground first "good job the" his friend beamed at him obviously pleased with himself.
Jacob scratched his head as he chewed on his lip staring at the moss as he approached it carefully; behind him Mace checked around his eyes scanning swiftly for any signs of movement, they didn't quite want to make a scene. Not just yet. It wasn't the time. His thoughts of intruders were cut short as a ripping sound was heard from moss being torn bit by bit; the chunks of dirt flew up narrowly missing him as it soared overhead letting the dust fall casually in the air.
"Jacob what are you-" "What does it look like?" he gruffly stated, "I'm tearing it off or we'll never enter this cave"
"Enter it but the Hokage said-.." the younger shinobi sputtered on his words "you heard the rumors there might be something in there!" a clump of dirt hit him in the face, thankfully he has his mouth closed as he shook his face quickly as he swathe bugs inhabiting the moss. "Ah shutup ya wuss scared of a little rumor?" more ripping sound were heard as dirt and moss alike flew in every direction landing on the ground making small little piles until most of the moss was torn away.
"Woah." Mace breathed as the older shinobi stood back admiring his ten- minute shredding duty revealing the cave to be quite sculpted had it been a few more years back. The smooth surface that was once there was now placed with jagged rocks from years of erosion. The entrance of it had a half destroyed fearsome beast statue the statue itself couldn't be identified as anything but some sort of animal.
Mace gulped as he eyed the statue gripping his now pulled out shiruken close, unlike his friend he wasn't about to let his guard down he knew the statue meant something or rather, he was sure that the rumors were true even as a child he was told them day after day never getting tired of them. And now, he was going to see a first hand experience. Or at least he kind of hoped but at the same time he didn't want to.
His eyes clouded as Jacob led him into the cave him taking up the rear as always having sharp senses, he couldn't very well tell Jacob his fear or the stories it might have made look like a complete and utterly scared shinobi. As a shinobi he had pride also wits and skills but he also had emotions. Emotions that dragged a person to death, it was something needed to be put aside whenever in combat to make sure of you're survival.
At least that is what he had been told and yet he found it truer then anything else he had ever learned as a shinobi. Casting his eyes downward he continued to walk becoming mesmerized by the ground, was it just him or were plants growing in it? I he looked closely enough he could see some tiny little sprouts but shrugging he continued to walk until he bumped into his partner of accident.
"Nani? Why'd you stop?" Mace asked as he peered over the others shoulder his mouth dropping open at the large room within the tunnel they has began to scour, it was a large room completely bare and devoid of all like save for a green shield around a part of the another area that led farther into the cave.
Jacob snorted something as he shook his head and cautiously entered the room glancing around before sighing and dropping his guard a bit to steadily walk across the tunnel room to the shield cocking an eyebrow in confusion at it. Truly he knew that it was unlike anything he's seen before, couldn't be classified as a jutsu the energy of it was too different so what was it then?
"You know those rumors it.it involves the shield" the younger blond shyly stated as he remembered the stories told to him long ago. "Really? You know what? I don't care" the blue hat wearer touched the barrier and scratched his head in confusion, they couldn't go deeper might as well go back. Jacob craned his head to the side to get a better look at the walls and surface, texture, color, every little detail he thought would be important. His mission was to go and check in on it and bring back any details about the cave.
Behind him a shrill scream seemingly exploded from behind him as he swiftly turned around to see Mace's body on the ground torn to shreds in seconds, the attackers looked up for there devouring of the body to gaze at the startled and fearful shinobi. The creatures looked like a cross between plants, roots, and little green dragons having a body equally the size of a small dragon, with scales and root like feet, the wings had almost a leaf like look to them as they spread apart making them look quite intimidating.
The green eyes gleamed as five more flooded in giving a equality to ten unknown dragon monsters each had at least some sort of blood staining there teeth, saliva dripped along with it the acid burned into the ground while Jacob stood in shock and puzzlement.
He should have listened to Mace.
-----
Weeks later the two shinobi's that had gone on the errand to the mysterious ancient cave were presumed dead by the Hokage while some mourned for the two brave warriors others looked to the Hokage as a sign of what's to co next, which was left unanswered as Tsunade sighed and turned away ignoring anyone that dared to talk to her. This of course set the people of the city into shock after she refused to tell anyone anything and for a few days this continued as the greatly looked upon leader of the village started to investigate and research the cave finding some very shocking information along with it.
Folding her hands she relayed the information over and over in her mind lowering her head down recalling it all.
The nine demons of this world lived within caves, underwater cave, a forest cave, in a volcano, one hidden within darkness in the deepest part of the world, one hidden in the brightest area said to blind all that come, upon the tallest glacier ever formed, a dwelling that defies gravity, an area where it never stops raining as thunder booms overhead, and one that has previously been sealed.
Scratching her head she tried to make sense of the locations the forest cave no doubt was within the cave that she had sent those noble shinobi to and ultimately cost there lives. But there was more, it was only b blood could the demon be defeated since the nine tails had cracked the barrier placed upon them centuries ago. "Hokage!" the door opened a bit as Iruka poked his head through and smiled cheerfully "you ah, wanted to see me?"
Tsunade sighed deeply and leaned back in her chair her long strands of hair seemed to follow her every movement as they swished rhythmically "yes I did" she said nodding to the dolphin, quirking an amused smile at the name.
"Whatever for?" the teacher closed the door behind him and respectively stood in front of the desk as he awaited orders ready to fulfill them.
The Hokage rubbed her chin and stared at the jounin in front of her regarding him slowly "do you know of anything about this?" she flung the folder of information at the surprised man who caught it with a hint of confusion across his face. For a few minutes the dolphin merely skimmed through the mass quantity of papers catching only the needed information before looking up meeting the leaders gaze.
"You mean.?" he started.
"Yes, it has begun.the hunt for the demons has arrived once more" was all that she spoke before dismissing the man without another word.
--- A/N: first chapter eh heh well I thought it was interesting to write something else for a change as I work on all my others fics and well this was a part result. I know it doesn't quite make sense .o but bare with me everything will be revealed eventually.and everyone HATE orochimaru! *Stabs offending snake*
Sasuke: Up next we have a little bit of a clue, as I seem to have something to know about this and Itachi stop stalking me! Eh? What's that dobe going on about and Kakashi keeps looking at me oddly, besides that even dobe's teacher, Iruka, seems more quiet then usual could he know something? I wonder what's wrong with the Hokage tsh, not that I care. Stay tuned for Chapter One! Forgotten Tales!
Pairings: Kakashi/ Iruka (*fans cheer*) Sasuke/Itachi (*Some folks throw things others yell there heads off*) Orochimru/ Kabuto (*millions of Orochimaru haters pelt things while Kabuto fans gawk angrily*)
