NARUTO - The Hidden Village of the Sun

Chapter 2

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke met up with Shikamaru. Shikamaru was in charge of the mission, being the only chuunin. They had to track down this guy.

"We're going to split up," Shikamaru explained, "I'll go northwest, Naruto will go northeast, Sakura will go southwest, and Sasuke will go southeast. We meet back here in an hour. Watch your backs! Let's go!"

"I'll be the one to find him!" Naruto yelled as he ran off. "Sasuke… be careful." Sakura said before she ran off. Shikamaru and Sasuke ran off in opposite directions without a word.

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

"Argh! Where am I supposed to start!?" Naruto thought to himself. He was just running around, looking for the man he had seen in the picture. Then, he heard people nearby start screaming.

He ran over and saw a dead lady on the ground with blood coming out of a sliced hole in her throat and the back of a man with black hair running away. It had to be him. Naruto ran after him.

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

Sakura walked around, just looking for the man. She saw him. He walked up to someone, and before Sakura could say anything… the man killed someone from behind and had stolen their money and ran away. Sakura chased after him.

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

"Where would this guy be…?" Shikamaru wondered. Then he remembered that there was a quite wealthy area in the Hidden Village of the Leaf and, luckily, it was in the area he was in.

He ran to this area as quickly as he could, and, sure enough, the man was there. The only problem was that he hadn't gotten there in time. He killed another person and ran. Shikamaru chased after him.

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

None of them were successful in catching the man. He slipped away at the last second. But how could the man have been in all of the same places at the same time?

"What the hell do you mean that you chased after him, too!? He was in my area!" Naruto yelled.

"Maybe he was using clones… and where's Sasuke? He's supposed to be back here!" Sakura commented.

"I doubt that he would use clones… it seems too obvious." Shikamaru said.

Kakashi rushed up to them. "Change of plans! Sasuke has already gone to the Hidden Village of the Sun with Kiba, Lee, Neji, Chouji, Shino, and several Anbu. You must go too!"

"What!?" Naruto exclaimed.

"You must go now! I'll brief you along the way!" Kakashi yelled as they all ran off.

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

"So you're saying that some Jounins out on a mission heard some of these people from the Hidden Village of the Sun, a village we didn't even know existed, planning an attack against us!?" Shikamaru exclaimed as him, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi jumped from tree to tree on their way to meet up with Sasuke, Kiba, Lee, Neji, Chouji, Shino, and several Anbu.

"Yes, that's exactly it! That's why this is so urgent!" Kakashi exclaimed.

"Could this have to do with that guy? Did he do something to the people of the Hidden Village of the Sun and now they hold a grudge against us because they discovered that he's from the Hidden Village of the Leaf?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes, that is a possibility," Kakashi replied.

"Damn it! I'm gonna kill this guy! I found him once and he got away, but, next time, he won't be so lucky!" Naruto yelled.

"I don't think that that was the guy, Naruto! Sakura and I both saw him, too, at the same time, yet we were all in different areas of the village!" Shikamaru explained, frustrated.

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

"What's going on? Why were all called out so suddenly to here? I didn't even get to eat my lunch yet!" Chouji yelled.

"There's this Hidden Village of the Sun that's planning an attack against us," an Anbu explained.

Sasuke, Neji, and Shino remained quiet. Sniff, sniff. Kiba had a strong sense of smell and he smelled Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Kakashi approaching.

"Hey, thick-brows!" Naruto yelled as he jumped out from a tree and called out to Lee.

"Naruto, this is no time to be joking. This is very serious. We must stop this Sun Village's attack," Kakashi said.

"But we don't even know where this village is located, and if it even exists! Can't I just go home and eat!?" Chouji complained.

"Let's move forward!" an Anbu commanded.

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

"Hahahaha! Everything is going according to plan!" the man yelled. He was located in a hidden chamber within the mountains of the Hidden Village of the Sun. "The Leaf are out looking for this village, and I'm pretty sure that they'll find it. Then, they'll be trying to stop the Hidden Village of the Sun from attacking them, but, since I've already killed their High Priest and told them that the Leaf will kill them all, the people of the Sun have already found out where the Hidden Village of the Leaf is located and have planned an attack against them! Amid the chaos, I'll be able to steal tons of money from both villages, and I'll become rich! Of course, I've got the perfect idea of what to do with the money… Now, go out and cause more chaos and steal me more money! Hahahahaha!"

"Yes, sir!" He had an army of men that looked just like him. Over the years, he had assembled people together and, with his great knowledge of chakra skills, he taught them to all change their appearances to look like him permanently. Now, the chaos begins.
