Chapter 6 Wraith of Knowledge
Naruto stared blankly at his former teacher, while Kakashi just smiled at him.
'Too weird,' thought Naruto. Then there was more silence. 'Damn, what's up with the silence tonight?'
"Let's go," said the silver-haired ninja.
"What?"
"Anbu," was all Kakashi could say before his former student was ready and out of the door. Sasuke waited for the both of them at the bottom of the steps, and beyond him was what looked like the rest of Earth village's Anbu. 'Shit,' he thought.
The three shinobi walked out of the bar with packs shouldered and heads down. Walking along at a leisurely pace, they had almost gotten away when they were stopped by some new recruit out to make a name for himself.
"Where do you think you're going? This road has been closed. Identify yourselves!" Naruto chuckled to himself and slowly walked forward.
"I've got this one." He said with his foxy grin widening into an insane smile. He unshouldered his pack and walked straight to the captain. Raising his head, Naruto looked the earth-nin dead in the eyes, but they were no longer the eyes that belonged to the orphan fox. They were a bright crimson red, glowing slightly in the dark, and black surrounded them. Wind swept around the man's lean frame, and an explosion of chakra sent most of the army flying. Immediately Naruto was among them, tearing throats and slicing with the bokato he had acquired earlier. A bloodlust had filled him that would never go away, and the more he gave in the more he enjoyed killing. The act of avenging the deaths of his friends was something he could take pleasure in, and Naruto had not lost count of the enemies he had fought over those long years. The two men accompanying him stood back in amazement, and in no time the fox had torn the enemy to shreds.
"Let's go," said Naruto, exhaling and, by doing so, returning to normal. Three shinobi walked into the forest, fading into the night again.
After a short day's hike, encompassing nearly forty miles of mountainous territory, the group halted and set up camp. Sunset found a group of three hidden among the leaves. As day fell into cold night, they started their fire and sat gazing into the orange coals, flames dancing in the dark as grass in a field. Nothing was said between them. There was nothing to say. Everyone knew that there were more. Everyone knew that Kakashi had found them. Everyone knew what had to be done.
