Naruto – The SERIES
Disclaimer: See Previous Chapters
A/N: Damn, I wrote the previous chapter in, like, half an hour, and I immediately worked on this one after that. My internet connection broke so I had more time to write, or in other words, I was very bored. Oh, this will be a few days later, Lee is ready to leave Leaf Village!! Asuma's and Kurunai's team encountered their enemies after a few days and Anko and Morino Ibiki encountered the Four Sound also after a few days, so the dates aren't screwed up. Anko and Ibiki's fight's still going on here, cause well, that one just happened when the week was over. And, the fight between Kakashi and Sasuke… well, the end will be shown as a flashback *blush* in the next chapter.. -_-'
There Where When is Now
Chapter 4
By TokehGecko
"Heh. Like we haven't noticed."
Morino, a tiny bit surprised, landed right in front of the four ninja's "What were your business in the Leaf Village?"
The fattest of the four spoke up. "Hmm, we wanted nothing… but Uchiha Sasuke."
Another male, who looked more like a girl continued for him with a big smirk. "But that information is classified. So we'll have to kill…. Both of you." With a glance to her left.
Anko landed right beside Morino on the broad tree branch. "Who are you!?" She asked loudly.
The fat introduced himself first. "I am the South Gate's Jiroubou."
The second, who had a headband, the only one, spoke up. "I am the East Gate's Kidoumaru."
The third, whose hair ran just above his shoulders, and who looked like a girl introduced herself third. "I am the West Gate's Sakon."
The fourth, last introduced. "I am the North Gate's Tayuya. Together we complete, the Four Sound."
"You are Mitarashi Anko, am I correct?" Tayuya asked, eyes already narrowed at the curse seal Anko had.
Anko nodded. Morino shook his head. "They aren't even interested who I am… I kind of feel embarrassed."
The Four Sound suddenly surrounded the duo and all four performed several hand Seals. "Shishienjin!!"
'Barrier Ninjutsu?' Morino thought. Anko gritted her teeth in anticipation. "Well, looks like we have our work laid out in front of us, huh?"
Morino smiled. "Indeed"
"Don't take us too lightly! We're not so weak that we can't move while maintaining the barrier!!" Jiroubou yelled.
"I expected as much." Anko said with a big smirk.
Morino moved within a split of a second, in front of the fat Jiroubou, grabbed him by the chin and pulled his face hard down on his knee. Jiroubou fell down on his knees, in front of Morino. "Feel that? The first touch of defeat. The fact that I was able to do that says you are too weak to face. I didn't even.."
Morino's eyes widened as his foot was grabbed. "You talk too much." Jiroubou started swinging Morino through two trees and then threw him on the ground. "Fool, I told you not to underestimate us."
Morino rose with a big grin plastered on his face, he was totally unharmed. "Who said we did?" And then he vanished from sight.
Anko dodged a few kunai and shuriken thrown at her. "Senei Yashuu!!" With that seal, Anko used snakes to entangle both Kidoumaru and Sakon. Then she made both of them land hard on the ground, creating two large crates. "Hurry up and stand up!!"
Morino appeared behind Jiroubou and dodged Jiroubou's fist by crouching, then he grabbed Jiroubou's feet and leaped towards the air. In mid-air, though, a fist connected with Ibiki's face. Tayuya grinned as Morino fell down on the ground.
"You're not as bad as I thought you'd be, Scarface…" Tayuya spoke.
Morino Ibiki, simply smirked.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When we get there, you will be in perfect condition, Lee!" Gai yelled with perfect confidence as he watched Lee having trouble following him, Ten-Ten and Sakura. He had been surprised when Tsunade told him Sakura would join them, but it was all good. He had seen her fight in the Chuunin Exam and wasn't really impressed. He had trained Ten-Ten while Lee was trying to walk, jump and run again. Ten-Ten had toughened up greatly.
Sakura stayed behind Gai and Ten-Ten, occasionally talking with Lee in the back. But that wasn't that easy either. 'I wonder how Sasuke-kun's doing…' since her mind was more focused on Sasuke's health and also, still on the mark on his neck.
Lee was totally himself again. Happy that he could train to become stronger than anyone again. Hoping to surpass Neji, Sasuke and Naruto. He was full of spirit, he would prove to the world that he will be the strongest, and that geniuses don't have to be strongest.
Ten-Ten was happy Gai took more time to train her than Lee for a change. Now she could do more than just two techniques. Her Soushouryu was good, but she needed more than only that.
'We're close, I wonder how they are…' Gai thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes. We're almost there… but, something's wrong…"
Neji smiled at his new sensei's discomfort. "Worried, Jiraiya? I'll just use… Byakugan!!"
Neji could now see all of Sand Village. His Byakugan has grown a lot in this week, and he could see almost everything with a radius of 4 miles. He saw where everyone was at. He saw the Kazekage, all kinds of ninja's in the village, and after searching a bit, he could even pinpoint Gaara. The problem was there were two obstacles in the village, and did not know who they were. The only thing was.. one of them possessed the Sharingan and the other had a really big sword. The other problem was, they were heading for Gaara..
"It seems, Gaara is in trouble.. We should hurry.. an Uchiha is after him." Neji spoke ever so calmly.
Jiraiya's eyes widened. 'Itachi Uchiha?! He's here?! Damn.. This could get rough..'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you hurt?" Tayuya asked with a big smirk on her face, faking her worry through sarcasm.
Morino rolled his eyes and sighed. "Hmph, as if I could get hurt by small fry like you."
Tayuya frowned at Ibiki's comment. "I warned you not to underestimate us, if you want to beat us, old man."
Morino responded with a chuckle. "Do not underestimate us either."
Jiroubou stood tall next Tayuya. "We've been taught never to underestimate an enemy. You're lacking, in that department."
"Oy, Ibiki!!" Anko yelled. "You okay over there!!"
"I'm great, actually!" Ibiki yelled back. "We've actually found some good opponents to fight with, you know?"
"Yeeaahh!! I know, we might enjoy ourselves!!" Anko yelled with a big smile.
Tayuya scratched her forehead, expressing extreme boredom. "Are you two finished trying to cheer each other up? We've got things to do."
Jiroubou suddenly leaped toward Ibiki, and demolished the tree he was leaning against. Ibiki was now behind Tayuya. "I believe you are the strongest of the four, huh?"
Tayuya calmly nodded.
Ibiki performed a roundhouse kick and continued in a sweeping motion under Tayuya, when Tayuya dodged the first. Tayuya easily jumped up and revealed that Jiroubou was charging quickly towards him. Ibiki couldn't dodge and was hit head-on. Tayuya smirked in mid-air as she saw Ibiki flying a few meters back. "And, what did you think of our team work?"
Morino coughed up some blood as he once again stood tall. "Not bad. Could use some work, though.."
Tayuya landed gracefully beside Jiroubou. She whispered something in his ear. "I'm worries for the others. Anko might cause a problem."
Jiroubou nodded and gazed toward them. Only to see Ibiki stare straight back at him. Jiroubou's eyes widened a great deal. The fist he saw was unavoidable.
Tayuya watched as Jiroubou was hit very hard in the face. "Jiroubou!!" She narrowed her eyes dangerously and faced Morino Ibiki, who apparently used the little distraction for this attack. Tayuya disappeared and re-appeared next to Ibiki, planning to elbow him hard in the face. Ibiki blocked but didn't have enough time to attack back as he noticed Tayuya already had a foot up in the air, ready to land on his face. He had to block this one as well, but was unable to block Tayuya's other fist and was hit in the face. Ibiki again landed on his back.
"Such a basic attack this was… I'm disappointed in you…" Tayuya said. Her eyes widened though, as she was grabbed from the behind and was rammed through a tree.
"Heh. I didn't even feel anything from your attack." Ibiki said as he released Tayuya and let her drop to the ground. "That's why it was so easy to recover from your attack and surprise you by attacking you from behind."
Tayuya sighed as she rose "Impressive… but will it be good enough?" She said with a smile as Jiroubou appeared next to her again. But what happened next, really frightened Morino Ibiki. And he wasn't easily scared.
Anko had a few problems herself. Although she has learned dozens of skills from Orochimaru, these two seemed to know them as well. So catching them by surprise wasn't an option. 'Orochimaru must have taught them' Anko rammed Kidoumaru hard on the nose, after avoiding his web-like spit. After punching the guy down, she had to block Sakon's attack from above. With Senei Yashuu she made the snakes completely embrace Sakon. "I am sorry, but I want to end this fight quickly. I'll have to end your life, boy.."
Sakon gritted his teeth. 'This….. leaves me no choice.'
Anko's eyes widened as she saw what Sakon was doing..
"The Curse Seal?" Both Ibiki and Anko thought..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do we have to wait until tonight, Kakashi?" Sasuke asked, being bored after waiting twenty minutes after waking up.
Kakashi however, had fallen asleep again.
'Jeez, sometimes he really reminds me of Naruto…' He smirked as he thought of the boy. 'I wonder… I'm probably stronger than him now… I'll show him when I see him again…'
Sasuke remembered the big hole Naruto created in the Water Tank with his technique. 'He improves so quickly… What if he has trained in these couple of days as well… He must have received a mission as well… I'll ask Kakashi later.'
He was ripped from his thoughts as he sensed someone approaching them. More than one, actually. 'From the Sound? Or is it, Lee?'
Sasuke smirked as he saw Gai land in front of him. "You're quite early.."
Gai showed him a shiny smile and a thumbs up. "Of course!!" Sasuke sweat dropped and frowned as he saw Ten-Ten land behind him. What surprised him was that Sakura landed after her behind her, together with Lee. 'Sakura? What is she doing here? She won't be of any help for killing Kabuto… And Lee, what's wrong with him? He's exhausted… ' Sasuke frowned at the team before him. 'And the girl, Ten-Ten, she isn't that good either I think. I've never seen her fight.. I hope for them they don't get in the way…'
"Jeez, this lazy idiot is still sleeping, huh?" Gai let out as he was about to kick Kakashi awake.
Sasuke smiled as he recalled the fight between him and Kakashi.
The fight had ended, of course, with Kakashi as the victor. But he had beaten the Water Clones and had drawn out the real Kakashi. But, unfortunately, he was too tired after that, and he hadn't even fought with the real Kakashi after beating the two Water Clones. He fainted and was ashamed about it. After that day, Kakashi learned him a few new elementary Jutsu's, other than Fire Jutsu's. And some other useful Jutsu's.
"Oy, Good morning, idiot!" Gai yelled hard in Kakashi's ear.
Kakashi frowned, yawned and then sighed as he stood and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Good morning, everybody." He gave Sakura a smile. "Hello, Sakura."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Itachi Uchiha... Sasuke's brother… ' Naruto thought as he remembered Itachi the first time he encountered him. 'But now I know how to fight against a Sharingan user. Never look straight in their eyes and you'll be safe.'
'Sasuke's older brother… Uchiha Itachi.. Will I have grown enough to beat a guy who is far more experienced than Uchiha Sasuke?' Neji closed his eyes and smirked confidently. 'No real worries, Jiraiya and Naruto are with me.. and both of them are stronger than me… Not many are stronger than me… Together we make an unbeatable team. And now we're reaching Gaara…. We will be Legendary..'
'Let's see now… Akatsuki's after Gaara too now? I wonder if there are more Shinobi's like Gaara and Naruto out there… Those might already have been captured by other members of the Akatsuki. But we're in a dangerous situation here… Itachi and Kisame are both very strong.. I hope I have trained these two well….' Jiraiya smirked. 'They're both already stronger than an ordinary Jounin. Even if Mitarashi Anko would activate her Curse Seal, it will be difficult for her to beat Neji.. Maybe she can't.. It'll be fun to watch them take the Chuunin Exam again..'
As Naruto knocked on the door of Gaara's house, Neji scanned up ahead and saw Itachi and Kisame approach them. "It'll take them approximately five minutes to arrive here. We'll have to convince Gaara fast." Neji said with a grin.
The door opened to reveal Temari. "You?!" She responded as she frowned at Naruto.
An uncomfortable pause followed.
"Uh.. Hi!! We don't have much time!! Get Gaara!!" Naruto yelled.
Temari frowned at him. "You want Gaara?"
"Hurry!! They're coming!!"
Temari shook her head at the boy's rudeness. "Fine." She stepped inside. "Follow me."
Naruto did so. "Get a move on kid, they're closing in, I'll stay outside with Neji." Jiraiya said before Naruto went inside.
Naruto immediately noticed the silence inside. On a bench to the left, he saw Kankurou sit and eat something. "Oy, what are you doing here?" Kankurou said, frowning at the blonde kid.
Naruto was about to answer when he heard his name being called.
"Naruto…. Uzumaki.."
Naruto watched straight into Gaara's eyes as Gaara appeared in front of him.
Temari and Kankurou tensed up slightly. "Why are you here?" Kankurou asked, seeing Gaara and Naruto stare at each other.
"We have a problem outside… a strong enemy.."
"Strong?" Gaara questioned. "Naruto… we are strong.. no one can beat us.. Why are you still afraid?"
"It's Sasuke's older brother! He's really strong!!"
Temari and Kankurou both looked at Naruto. "Sasuke.. he was the black-haired kid, right, the one who fought Gaara in the Chuunin Exam?" Temari asked.
Naruto nodded. "His brother is way stronger… And he's coming for you and me, Gaara." Turning from Temari to Gaara.
Gaara simply smiled. "Then, I'll kill him…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura, good to see you again." Kakashi exclaimed. "Gai." Kakashi greeted with a frown.
Gai frowned back. "Now, shall we depart, Kakashi?"
"Yes, we should." Sasuke said. 'Orochimaru… will you be there?'
Kakashi leaned his head to the right, to pop his neck, and then did the other side. "Hmm, I don't like fighting on an empty stomach."
Sasuke and Gai snorted. "Hopeless." Gai concluded. "Jeez, you really are like Naruto." Sasuke continued.
'Sasuke-kun… has changed… he's changed back to his normal self again… I'm happy… he is. That cold look is gone.' Sakura thought as she observed Sasuke.
"I'll go hunt a few animals down.. Wait here." Kakashi said.
Ten-Ten sat down and sighed. 'I wonder if this mission will be hard.. ' Ten-ten took a look around. 'But Uchiha Sasuke is with us and Gai-sensei and Kakashi. Still, I would feel better if Neji was here.'
"Lee." Lee who was seated next to Ten-Ten, looked up at Sasuke. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. This mission will be a piece of cake, Sasuke-kun."
'English? Why do Lee and Gai always pronounce those stupid words in English? Piece of cake… Japanese sounds so much better..' Sasuke nodded at Lee's resolve. "Good. I hope you've gotten stronger… Because this mission will be hard.."
Lee swallowed deep. 'I haven't gotten stronger…. I haven't had time to train… Sasuke is so much stronger than me now…'
"Sasuke-kun. How are you feeling?" Sakura asked Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced sideways at Sakura. "I'm fine, Sakura." He looked honest in her eyes. "Really."
Sakura smiled genuinely. "I'm glad.."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SenNin Jiraiya… What brings you here?"
"Him again? Man, long-haired nuisance.. and who the hell are you?! " Kisame said, narrowing his eyes at the boy beside Jiraiya.
"Hyuga Neji.." Neji smirked.
Itachi's Sharingan eyes narrowed slightly. 'Hyuga?'
That's when Naruto, Gaara, Temari and Kankurou came out.
Itachi looked at them ever so calmly. "Naruto-kun… Gaara-kun.."
'Gaara…. kun?' Gaara thought.
A deafening silence filled the air, and oddly enough, there were no villagers around.
"What did you do?" Jiraiya asked.
Kisame chuckled wildly. "You noticed?" He chuckled some more. "We took a lot of villagers out.. Some idiot asked if we could identify ourselves… We did, and we killed him as well."
Itachi noticed that no one was looking straight in his eyes, except for the Sand Genins. 'So, Jiraiya taught them not to look in my eyes..'
"Sabaku Kyuu!!"
Kisame and Itachi dodged Gaara's attack easily by jumping on a roof opposite of Gaara's little house.. "Hmm, antsy, are we?" Kisame said, followed by a chuckle.
"What is your business here?!"
Itachi and Kisame turned their heads to the left, where another man stood.
"Baki-sensei!!" Temari yelled.
"We came for Gaara-kun… and Naruto-kun.." Itachi said unimpressed by Baki.
'I guess the party is on..' Jiraiya thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're almost there now.." Kakashi said, as they jumped from tree to tree, towards the Sound Village.
'Kabuto… Orochimaru… I can't wait to see how much I have improved..' Sasuke thought with a grin. 'I'll show them..'
'If Orochimaru is there… it might cause problems for us… Orochimaru is still too strong..' Kakashi paused. 'But, the Third sealed his arms… maybe.. we can kill him..'
"We're here.." Gai said.. "Now, everyone, silence is required… too bad Neji isn't here… Now we actually have to look for Yakushi.."
"Uhmm…" Sakura hesitated.
"What is it, Sakura?" Kakashi asked.
"Shall I use Feathery Sleep?"
Kakashi smiled, expecting her to know new skills, and expecting her to show off, particularly for Sasuke. "No, the ninja's here are too well-skilled for it. Silence is VERY important.. this is the Sound Village… they probably have guard at every gate that can hear… EVERYTHING."
"So we take those out.." Sasuke said.
"We'll have to, otherwise it's impossible for us to get in unnoticed." Gai responded.
"Well, here we go." Kakashi said, with a sigh.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Anko?" Morino called, looking at the four curse Seal Fighters.
Anko smirked. "Yeah, looks like we have to get serious…"
'Let's see… Genjutsu torturing style…. And she will probably activate her Curse seal. That practically ends the match for them..' Morino thought grimly, hoping for more fun.
Anko and Ibiki stood side by side as they faced the four who had released their curse seals.
"Anko… let me read them… Shall I make them force to drop the curse seals?"
Ibiki narrowed his eyes at the four fighters before him. Ibiki was a Special Jounin, specialised in interrogation, so he could really read people and force things out of them. From reading the eyes, Ibiki could already say a lot. He could see past charades…
'The fat boy… Jiroubou…. Heh. Fear of being alone.. that's how Orochimaru got him…'
Ibiki focused on the one next to the fat boy, the boy with the headband.
'Kidoumaru….. Too wrapped up in his own sorrow, Orochimaru took advantage of that…'
The third, being Sakon, the boy that looked like a girl.
'Sakon….. Easy… Afraid to go all out…'
Ibiki frowned, though, as the fourth, Tayuya, was unreadable for him… 'Damn… I didn't expect one of these goons to be good enough to shield themselves.. Impressive…'
"Anko, the girl is yours…" Ibiki said, unwavering.
Anko frowned. "What, and you take all the others?! That's not fair, Ibiki!! I want to have fun too!! Jeez…"
Morino smirked. "Well, it's been a while since I used my own skills…"
"Why not the girl? Too afraid of hitting a girl?" Anko teased, ignoring the threatening glares coming from the Four Sound.
Morino chuckled. "Heh… Perhaps.. She could be pretty strong, though…"
"Let's go…" Anko said in anticipation. 'Weird that they can control the Curse Seals, though… But, they're still young..'
"Atamagao Kashii!!" Ibiki screamed as he performed a very difficult seal.
Anko was already leaping toward Tayuya as she heard what Ibiki was doing. 'What is he thinking? He'll destroy the kid…'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Baki? Is he strong?' Jiraiya thought as he observed him.
"Kaze Bakufuu!!" Baki yelled performing several seals.
Jiraiya watched as a huge wind blast was shot toward Itachi and Kisame. Temari's Kimaitachi was nothing compared to it.
The problem though, was that Itachi and Kisame were still standing on the same spot, unharmed.
"I think you're underestimating us, huh?" Kisame said, chuckling.
"Weak…" Was all Itachi said as he opened his eyes a bit more and looked straight in Baki's eyes.
Jiraiya's eyes widened and he was about warn Baki, but…. it was already too late…
'Tsukiyomi…' Itachi didn't even have to say it.. Baki was doomed.. 'For a full 24 hours… you'll be embedded with Shurikens.'
Temari's eyes widened. "What.. What's going on?!"
Naruto, standing next to her, explained. "If you look in that man's eyes… you'll be hypnotised immediately, and you'll…."
Baki fainted, Naruto didn't need to explain more..
Gaara's right eye twitched as he noticed how dangerous these men really were. "Heh. Heh. Heh…"
Kankurou glanced over toward Gaara.. 'Shit…'
"Sabaku KYUUU!!!" Gaara screamed as a huge hand was formed, ready to grab both Itachi and Kisame.
The house they were standing on had now been completely eradicated. Itachi and Kisame stood before them again, thus they had dodged Gaara's attack.
"Such an attack won't work on us, little boy. And besides, even if it did… it wouldn't be strong enough to hold us.."
"Byakugan!!"
Both Itachi and Kisame gazed at Neji. 'Byakugan..'
Jiraiya smirked. "Time to take you guys out.."
Kisame frowned at the long-haired man, and burst out laughing. "You.. take, US, out?! Don't make me laugh, old man!!"
"You are within the field of my Hakke.."
To Neji's surprise though, both Itachi and Kisame shook their head.
"Sorry, but that attack will not work on us.." Itachi explained. "Even if we weren't Shadow Clones…"
Naruto gritted his teeth. 'Damn…' He paused. "But.. that guy's attack hit you head-on!!"
"heh, yeah, well, those were our real bodies, after Gaara's attack, we did a Kage Bunshin, because of the sand, you couldn't see us perform the seals."
"Uindo, Gufuu no Jutsu!!" Naruto screamed.
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly as he was positioned away from the battle. "A high-level Technique.. It's too late for our clones to dodge it."
Kisame frowned. "He's gotten better… slightly.."
A huge vertical tornado ripped both Itachi and Kisame to shreds. Much stronger than Baki's or Temari's wind attack.
"Heh. Looks like we'll have to be careful for that attack…" Kisame said as he looked at its result.
"Perhaps.." Itachi said as they both jumped down to where Jiraiya and the others were. "But now, that technique is also one of mine…"
Kisame chuckled. "Hehe, devious.."
"Impressive.. Naruto-kun.. But we won't be that easily beaten. You and Gaara will come with us."
Itachi suddenly and swiftly turned toward Jiraiya. "Katon, Kuroi Bakufuu no Jutsu.."
Jiraiya's eyes widened as he shielded himself from the black fire attack. 'Damn…'
Kisame smirked. "Suiton, Nijuu Suikoudan no Jutsu!!" The Water Release attack hit both Gaara and Naruto as Kisame planned. The Jutsu went too fast for the Shield of Sand, it seemed.
"You forget, now you really are within my field of Hakke…" Neji said with a smirk.
Itachi looked casually at Neji, as did Kisame. "Brat, we told you already.."
"Bunshin no Jutsu!"
He was cut off as Neji created a clone and quickly attacked both Itachi and Kisame. "Opening Points Attack!! Two Hands!! Four Hands!!"
'Damn, they're dodging it all…' Neji thought as he continued. "Eight Hands!! Sixteen Hands!! Thirty-Two Hands!! Sixty-Four Hands!!"
Unfortunately, both Itachi and Kisame had easily dodged his attack. "We are familiar with your attacks, Hyuga-san.." Itachi calmly said.
"Well, there goes your chakra…" Kisame said, shaking his head in disappointment. "I guess you.."
Kisame was cut off as Jiraiya rammed him full on the face. Itachi's eyes widened slightly. 'He recovered that quickly?'
Jiraiya was about to hit Itachi as well, but Itachi blocked with his left arm and planned on punching Jiraiya, but Jiraiya defended with his left as he turned with Itachi's block. A roundhouse kick was avoided by Itachi, while he was already sweeping from beneath Jiraiya. Jiraiya somersaulted away, to safety.
"You're really good…." Jiraiya commented. Itachi just remained silent. Kisame had already risen to his feet and he seemed a bit angry for being hit like that.
Both were not paying real attention to Neji, but it seemed he was trying something… 'Sanmai no Jutsu..' Jiraiya thought. 'he has come that far.. now he can even control how many he absorbs…. If this succeeds, they're both not fit to fight anymore…' Jiraiya smirked. 'Better to fight them and not let them see what Neji's doing.'
"Heh." A sickening laugh filled the air. "Hehehehhehehehe!!" Everyone looked as Gaara stood, his Armor of Sand already gone. Kankurou's eyes widened. 'This is bad…'
Itachi simply smiled. 'Let's expand on that…', "Kuragari Okkanai no Jutsu.." Kisame's eyes widened. "What are you doing!! Itachi!!"
"Do not worry.. This will work.. He is, after all, still young.."

TBC,
How'd you like it?
I know not much happened in this chapter, but be sure a lot will in the next. That one'll take a bit longer though.. Oh, in the next chapters there will be many new Jutsu's but they will be explained in the Author's Note, or even in the story, by the person who is performing the Jutsu.
Another question, sorry.. Special Jounin are weaker than Jounin, right? Cause Gekkou Hayate, a Special Jounin, was defeated by Baki, a Jounin.
Oh well, Farewell
