Naruto – The Anime/Manga Series
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Everything belongs to Kishimoto.. (I almost typed Kimimaro here….)
Author's Note: Ok, I didn't have time to write for a few days, so I couldn't update fast, my apologies. I will try to write summaries from previous chapters from now on. I'm really bad at summaries… There will be many Jutsu's in here.. If you want to know what each means, go to the Jutsu List. (Chapter 15 of Book 1)
Summary: In the previous chapter… Some people found out the Akatsuki is on the move. Orochimaru now knows the Akatsuki is after the Hidden Scrolls and has to do anything he can to prevent the Akatsuki from succeeding. Even when Orochimaru's own plans succeed, his new-gained power would not be enough against the Akatsuki once they succeed. One member of the Akatsuki enters the small village Itachi, Naruto and the others are. Right now the person, (who is 1 in 5) is fighting Naruto and Gaara. Tsunade finds out where Sasuke, but what will she do about it? And what happened to the elite hunter-nin squad of the ANBU?
For clarification, I'll explain Okurujin a little bit:
Okurujin herself is the oldest woman of the five and is slightly wrinkled. She's very wise, a fighter similar to Shikamaru, but she's not THAT tactical.. Shikamaru owns!!
Nikujuro is the second oldest, also female and is still rather young and pretty, she gives too much attention to the men she's fighting. A weapon specialist.
Roukujin, male, is cocky and relies on his speed too much. He's kind of a TaiJutsu specialist.
Kurounji, also male, is younger than Roukujin, but seems more experienced in battles. A little bit of this and that, considering his fighting technique.
Jikounur is the youngest of the five, female and is very good with elementary Jutsu's. With Elementary I mean Fire, Water, Ice and Electricity.
Sorry for the confusing names…
Sasuke and Kimimaro were now both standing at each other's side, facing their enemy Turin. Sasuke knew Kimimaro wouldn't last too long. Once in his Curse Seal level 2 State, he would probably faint in a short while, so he would be on his own in a few minutes. He watched with his Sharingan as Turin made her move.
Turin performed a few hand seals. "Ekisu Konchuu!!"
Sasuke noticed with his Sharingan, how dozens of bugs moved underground, beneath them and… were starting to absorb Chakra from them from under the ground. "Kimimaro, jump!"
Kimimaro looked at Sasuke. "I know, Sasuke."
They both jumped away from the Chakra-consuming bugs. Sasuke watched as other Chakra-consuming bugs also chose to go inside of the trees. 'This is getting aggravating!'
Of course, the bugs couldn't go any father than about thirty feet from Turin, but Sasuke and Kimimaro were forced to attack Turin from a distance now. And when Turin moved towards them, the bugs all moved with him. So this was a kind of absolute defence. When you get to close, your Chakra gets absorbed, if you hit Turin physically, you'll die from poison. What a complicated opponent…
Sasuke's left eye twitched once. He went from Curse Seal level one to Curse Seal Level 2, Kimimaro also activated his own Curse Seal to Level 2. For the both of them, this could get rough… Turin's bugs drain Chakra, but the Curse Seal drains Chakra like hell as well.
'Now it really begins…'
There Where When is Now
- Chapter 4
It's been a while since he's been here. He had so many missions, one mission in particular was an extremely long one. And in that certain mission they had failed. He wondered what the Fourth would be thinking of him now. Or what Obito would think of him now. It didn't really matter too much, since he wouldn't be able to hear their words from where they are, anyway.
"Kakashi."
Kakashi didn't turn around at the sound of Tsunade's voice. He had already sensed her moments before she spoke up. She probably had a mission for him already. These days it was pretty vexing in the Leaf. You had absolutely no free time. Mostly it was training. Kakashi himself was surprised he moved his limits further ahead and became stronger, if not much. The same went for the other Jounins, who, together, formed Konoha's absolute Defense. But was it really an absolute defence?
"Hokage-sama."
He had confirmed her presence now so it wouldn't take long for her to start speaking. He wondered what the mission was about this time. He sighed as he stared at the Hokage Monument. He watched the horrid scar, or crack, that ran through the Third's face.
"Uchiha Sasuke's location has been confirmed."
His eye widened at this newly acquired information. One of his students has been found. Of course Tsunade would come to him to... fetch him. This was really a big surprise.
"Who will be accompanying me on this mission?"
Tsunade smiled. Kakashi had already figured out what was expected from him.
"Pick two with you. I don't care who. There is one thing you need to know... He's probably.... with Orochimaru... You might have to kill him, Kakashi."
Kakashi's eye widened at this, but only momentarily. Somehow he had expected this. After thinking about it, it couldn't be that surprising. Sasuke had joined Orochimaru to gain the power he needs to defeat his brother, Itachi.
"I want Gai and Jiraiya with me, Hokage-sama."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him. It would weaken their so-called absolute defence if these three would leave for this mission. Jiraiya was considered the main pillar of Konoha's defence. Kakashi and Gai were very close to that.
"Very well... But come back quick... And... don't die out there.. Come to the Hokage Tower in two hours. Go get Gai and Jiraiya before you come."
And then, Tsunade jumped away, leaving Kakashi to his thoughts.
'Sasuke... This will get rough.. Sasuke's probably a lot stronger now.. And then there's Orochimaru.. Five years have passed.. Will we be enough?'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke jumped high in the air while also approaching the Bug ninja Turin. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!" He created about twenty clones and all of them started performing different techniques. Kimimaro meanwhile had vanished and was probably approaching Turin from another angle.
"Hyouketsu no Jutsu!!" "Katon, Housenka!!" "Katon, Goukakyuu no Jutsu!!" "Katon, Ryuuka no Jutsu!!" "Jishin no Jutsu!!" "Katon, Inferuno!!" "Kage Shuriken no Jutsu!!" "Suiton, Suikoudan!!" "Buriza Do no Jutsu!!" "Rakurai no Jutsu!!" "Hakaze Atemi!!" "Kage Byou!!" "Hatsuiku Karamiau!!" "Hibiki Ayatsuri!!" "Gufuu no Jutsu!!" "Shihou Hapou Shuriken no Maki!!" "Ranpu, San Genwaku!" "Raikiri!!" "Suiton, Daibakufu!!" "Senei Yashuu!!"
Turin, jumped away from all the fire blasts with ease and jumped to avoid the Earthquake attack that descended upon her. She also easily dodged the sharp leafs and the rather slow Ice Beam. The Shuriken Shower that was heading for her was easily bypassed as Turin jumped in a tree. The water attacks that followed washed the tree she was in away. But Turin had already landed on the ground, away from where the Earthquake Attack was still going on. Sasuke Shadow Dance was very ineffective, since he couldn't attack Turin anyway, so Sasuke's clone did get a hit in but disappeared after one single touch. Turin simply let the snakes grab her and watched how all of them died after touching her. Turin's poison was simply overwhelming Sasuke's poisonous snakes. Suddenly, she watched Sasuke perform seals she did not know.
"Suicchi!!"
Turin's eyes widened as Sasuke and herself switched from places. Turin was a bit disoriented and didn't notice the many exploding tags that were now on his feet. Sasuke smirked as he watched how the exploding tags all... exploded, with Turin in the middle. As Turin jumped out of the sea of explosions she got imbedded by ten bones Kimimaro had thrown at her. Kimimaro than landed next to Sasuke and fell to his knees.
"Sasuke, you're on your own. You should be able to win now.. She's damaged a lot now.." Kimimaro breathed out, after his Curse Seal diminished. He was exhausted, but could still watch the battle. He walked towards a secure place, where no bugs would be absorbing the rest of his Chakra. Sasuke, still in his Curse Seal level 2, watched a bruised and bleeding Turin. He also saw many bugs tend to her wound as fast as possible.
Turin was burned by the explosions and bleeding because of the bones that were stabbed through her body. She ripped all of them out with a sneer and waited for the bugs to finish their healing. 'Shit... These two really did a number on me... I have to go with Dakats while I can... My Chakra is running low fast..'
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!! Come forth, Dakats!!"
Sasuke's eyes widened at a gigantic scorpion towered above him, above the forest they were fighting in. He swallowed nervously as he watched how vicious the beast looked. A black and probably poisonous scorpion. Sasuke suddenly smirked, but was not too confident.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!! Manda!!"
Turin's eyes widened as the summon Manda appeared, one of the summons that was known to be very hard to control.
'Shit..! This will be a hard battle after all.'
'I hope Manda will listen to me...'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four Narutos and Gaara frowned as they saw the five persons before them discuss their tactics. The clones didn't say a thing but had quite enough of it and rushed forward. After a lot of punching, kicking and dodging, the five persons found themselves unable to even connect one single punch to even one clone. The clones punched and/or kicked them backwards.
"You are weak." Gaara stated as he watched it all.
Suddenly, the three females merged together and the two males merged together as well. Now, there was one male and one female before them. "Now we have gained enough power to defeat you!"
Gaara twitched his left eye and suddenly, an explosion came from where the male and female stood. 'Suna Bakuhatsu...' Gaara had collected sand and had spread it around the two.
Gaara glanced to his left to see the male approach them.. Surprisingly enough, the guy suddenly appeared on Gaara's other side and punched hard through both the Shield and Barrier of Sand. Gaara took the hit to the face and fell a few feet away. He immediately rose to his feet and showed he was angry. The man saw how sand crumbled from his face. The punch didn't penetrate the Armor of Sand enough for Gaara to actually feel it.
"You shouldn't have done that..." Gaara stated, clearly restraining himself as he trembled a bit from the anger...
The female suddenly slashed one Naruto clone in half with a sword and continued to the next clone, who tried to stop the swords with his hands, only to find himself... without hands. And a second later, without a head. The woman advanced further towards the three remaining clones. Suddenly, all three clones yelled and the female was blown back by red Chakra.
'What the hell?!'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Suna Kyuutai!!"
Orochimaru, Hatsu and Teri watched as Sand began to envelop Doro. Hatsu lost his control of the vines once they snapped because of the sand. The sand hardened all around Doro and became a Sphere. A Sphere of Sand.
"Ah, an absolute defence. It won't take long before he gets too tired to fight us." Orochimaru stated.
"How annoying. How long will it take to crack that boulder?" Hatsu asked Teri.
Teri grinned. "Just leave it to the sound… My Mokunen attack is probably over now." Teri began to perform a set of difficult hand seals.
Inside the Sphere of Sand, Doro was busy getting the Hatsu's vines off of him. 'Damn that Grass prick… Hmm, time to go underground..' Doro's Sphere of Sand was, in fact, on the ground, so he could easily move himself in the sand, under them. "I'll attack with Gufuu from underneath them…"
"Hibiki Ayatsuri!!"
With that said, or yelled, the Sphere of Sand was surrounded by dozens of sound waves, on different frequencies. Cracks began to appear and within half a minute, The Sphere of Sand crumbled. The three frowned as they couldn't see Doro, even after the smoke cleared.
"Gufuu no Jutsu!!"
'Oh shit..!!' went through three people's minds.
A huge tornado embraced Orochimaru, Hatsu and Teri. They flew and spun skywards, while Doro hopped from out of the ground and watched the three spin in his tornado.
"Heh! Stupid idiots! That's what you get for messing with me!"
"Is that so?"
Doro's eyes widened as he heard Orochimaru's voice behind him. The Orochimaru inside the tornado changed to mud and was washed away by the tornado. Only Teri and Hatsu were in it for real..
Doro narrowed his eyes at the Chakra that was around Orochimaru's hands. Doro quickly activated his Shield of Wind, while Orochimaru activated his Blood Awakening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What the F*CK, brat?! I have defeated Dakats before!!" Manda screamed at Sasuke, who was on top of Manda's head. "You better have good reasons for this…" He threatened.
Sasuke swallowed, before answering. "They…. would have killed me… if I didn't summon you."
Manda stared at Dakats and Turin, who was on top of Dakats' head. "Dakats… You should feel terribly ashamed.. How dare you show yourself after being defeated by me?!"
Turin narrowed his eyes at the horrifying snake. Dakats spoke up. "Luck…. You always seem to have luck on your side, Manda."
Manda's eyes widened in anger. "What the F*CK do you think you're saying?! How dare you..?!"
Dakats stabbed Manda's tail with her won tail, as it came to claim her head. Turin watched as a new Manda came out of this old skin. Dakats jumped backwards to avoid Manda's poisonous spit from hitting them. Manda could easily dodge Dakats' scissor hands.
Turin gritted her teeth. "I'll have to attack that Uchiha on Manda's head. I can't expect my poison to work on Manda, so I'll have to do anything to weaken Manda after that…" Turin disappeared and re-appeared behind Sasuke on Manda's head in great speed.
"Long time no see.." Turin greeted, before attacking Sasuke with a vicious kick. Sasuke jumped off Manda and watched as Turin followed him.
'Damn, even in my Level 2 state this is difficult…'
Just as Turin landed, Sasuke shot a Chidori straight at her face. It hit her head on and Sasuke now had time to think of a plan. 'No TaiJutsu and she's too fast to get off guard… so..' Sasuke watched as bug recovered the holes the Chidori created in Turin's face. 'I know!'
"Raikiri!!"
Raikiri is weaker version of the Chidori, or so Sasuke has made it now. The Raikiri hit Turin in the stomach and Sasuke immediately shot another Raikiri, which shot off Turin's left leg. Sasuke fell to his knees and was clearly exhausted. 'Damn it… My Chakra is almost up… Time to go to level 1 again..'
Turin made all his bugs heal her faster as she watched how Sasuke didn't have a lot of Chakra left.. 'Damn… this guy's pretty good… he damaged me real bad now, my bugs need a lot of time to fix this mess up…'
She got her left leg back and immediately jumped away, after she saw Sasuke advancing towards her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three clones of Naruto were left and Gaara was also still unharmed so far. The male and the female stood next to each other and stared them down.
"Ok, you guys are pretty good… We won't go easy now…" The male, who was actually 2 in 1 now, announced. "Our name is Ukrojuin and we are the best in fighting."
"Heh, our apologies for taking our time, but we will finish you off now. I must say we are surprised you were this good." The female, with 3 in 1, stated. "We are called Onjirkuu."
Suddenly, the male, Ukrojuin, disappeared and one of the Naruto clones was rammed in the face. He continued by kicking the other two in the stomach in a sweeping motion. The three clones were quickly standing again and also disappeared, revealing to Ukrojuin that they too, possessed great speed.
Suddenly, Ukrojuin was hit in the back of his right leg and was forced to crouch. A second Naruto rammed his foot straight into his face, making him soar into the sky. Once in the sky, he was rammed back to the ground by the third Naruto. Ukrojuin coughed up blood as he rose from the ground again.
"Not bad…"
Onjirkuu made six arms appear from her sides and all of them performed seals. "Take this, redhead! Sanjuu, Katon, Karyu Endan!!"
Gaara narrowed his eyes… 'Shit..'
A huge wave of Fire came from Onjirkuu's mouth. Gaara watched as his Shield of Sand got obliterated easily and his Barrier was weakened a great deal. Another huge wave followed, destroying Gaara's barrier and then a third came, aiming straight for Gaara. Gaara chose to just jump away this time, instead of remaining to stand there with his arms folded. Onjirkuu immediately summoned a few weapons in her six hands and threw them at the jumping Gaara, who in the meantime had re-established his Barrier and Shield of Sand.
Onjirkuu gritted his teeth as he continued his assault by another set of seals, this time, only two sets of hands performed hand seal. "Nijuu, Suiton, Suiryuudan no Jutsu!!"
Gaara's Shield got washed away and his Barrier only got damaged this time. His eyes widened as he felt the female appear behind her. Onjirkuu this time, held a sword in her hands and slashed through the Barrier with little difficulty and actually penetrated the Armor of Sand a little, making Gaara bleed…
Onjirkuu couldn't dodge the huge sand-hardened fist that punched her away. 'Ack..!!'
Gaara was very pissed. "You… will pay for this.." He said, anger seeping from his mouth as a few drops of blood fell from his chest, where Onjirkuu's sword had struck him.
All three Narutos were ganging up on Ukrojuin. Ukrojuin was having difficulty with the speed the clones were moving with and was simply outnumbered. A hit on his chin and a hit in the side convinced him to go defensive.
"Oy, Onjirkuu!! Definitely need some help here!!"
Onjirkuu watched with an amazed expression as he saw Ukrojuin being beaten up by three Narutos. 'Shit… these guys are definitely something else… I only got one hit in on this guy..' She thought as she stared at a pissed Gaara. 'And it seems he wasn't fighting seriously until now.. man, does he look pissed..'
"It's over."
Onjirkuu's eyes widened as she saw Itachi, Kisame, Sinobi, Dareda and Mokito land before her.
"You… You're Itachi…"
The real Naruto jumped down shortly afterwards, with a grin plastered on his face. "Haha! You guys are weak, you couldn't even defeat my clones!"
Ukrojuin stared at Naruto and watched as he made his clones disappear. 'That guy…'
Gaara gritted his teeth as he made Chakra surround his hand and put it on his wound. He had learned from Sinobi how to quickked the pace of the healing process with Chakra, using a sort of electricity also.
"Tell me why you came here… or we will have to kill you." Dareda threatened. "Obviously, you don't stand a chance against us."
The female and male merged together. "This way, we are called Irujukon. We came here to warn you… The Leader of our organization… he wants the Secret scrolls of the Hidden Villages.. He has already sent several people to the villages. I just passed by this beautiful looking barrier and I wanted to investigate. I never imagined it could be Itachi here.. or for that matter Dareda, Kisame, Sinobi and even the Kunoichi Mokito. You guys are pretty known to us new members of the Akatsuki." Irujukon sighed. "I guess I am to be killed, huh?"
Irujukon expected to be spared actually, but her eyes widened as dozens of Kunai went through her body…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Senei Yashuu!!"
Doro used Kamaitachi to simply cut all the snakes that were approaching him in pieces. He continued with multiple small tornado attacks. "Gufuu no Jutsu!!"
Orochimaru disappeared from Doro's view, while the little tornadoes simply went their own ways. Doro jumped up a tree branch and observed his surroundings. He watched farther ahead, where his large tornado was still spinning with Teri and Hatsu in it. 'It won't take long before that tornado diminishes..'
All of a sudden, Orochimaru launched multiple and different attacks at Doro. "Kage Shuriken!! Katon, Karyu Endan!! Suiton, Daibakufu!!"
Doro gritted his teeth as he quickly jumped away from the first attack, only to see he jumped straight into the direction of the second attack. The Fire attack skimmed his pants as he jumped away again, but he was hit fully by the water explosion attack and was hit through a tree.
Doro immediately jumped up and performed his own Jutsus, but before he could utter the technique, Orochimaru had hit him in the back with a kunai, grabbed him by the left foot and threw him straight into another tree. Orochimaru continued with another "Katon, Karyu Endan!!"
Doro had nowhere to run to and the attack hit him head on.
As the smoke cleared, he saw Orochimaru stand before him with his arms folded. "Doro… Give me one reason why I should let you live.."
Doro narrowed his eyes and sighed. "I can't give you a reason.."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Heh, you can't fight on, Uchiha…" Turin said, while heavily breathing. Her bugs were surely taking their time to heal her. "You're exhausted, give it up!"
Sasuke also breathed heavily and occasionally coughed up some blood. The Curse Seal was really giving him a hard time. "Bitch… You won't win here… Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!"
Turin simply remained standing and let the clones approach him. They would die and disappear with one hit anyway. And since she was all poison.. Her eyes widened as a sudden lightning bolt went his way. Turin jumped up, only to..
"Raikiri!!"
Only to be hit by Sasuke's second electricity attack. Turin was slammed backwards as blood spilled form her body once again. 'Shit..!! He got me again! I won't let an Uchiha win here… not from me!'
Turin landed on her feet and let the bugs tend to the wound as she performed hand seals. She chuckled as she saw Sasuke go from Curse Seal level 1 to his normal state. "Your Chakra is almost on zero now.. You will die now.."
Kimimaro narrowed his eyes but found himself unable to move from his spot. 'Sasuke…'
Suddenly, a body was thrown towards Turin.. Turin stared at the body and her eyes widened as she saw it was Doro. "What the HELL?! Who..?"
Both Manda and Dakats disappeared with a huge cloud of smoke.
Orochimaru landed next to the panting Sasuke. "Turin Aburame. Take Doro with you and leave this place. I'll let you live this time… We may have a use for you later… Do remember this… You owe me."
Turin narrowed her eyes at Orochimaru and watched as Teri and Hatsu landed next to Sasuke and Orochimaru. 'This is not good… Doro is defeated thoroughly and I am almost out of Chakra because of that stupid Uchiha… The best thing to do now is leave… Damn it… I don't want to owe that sick guy anything..'
"Fine. We leave."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So.. what do we do now?"
Itachi looked at Sinobi before he started pondering.
"I say we all learn the techniques that are in the scroll we possess.. And after that, we destroy it.." Mokito suggested.
"Why destroy it? I'll keep it with me, there's nothing safer than that." Naruto said smugly. "No one could grab it from me."
"Heh, says the guy who forgets about anything once he starts eating.." Sinobi countered, deserving a glare from the blonde Shinobi.
"Maybe we should hunt down the Akatsuki.. all of them.." Dareda suggested. "Together we possess a great power. We can bring them down."
"No, we do not know their new members.. For all we know there's another elite Hyuga and another man with a demon inside of him with them now.." Neji reacted.
"We team up. In pairs of three.. and one with two. I'll go with Dareda. Kisame, Sinobi and Mokito will go together and the last little team will be Neji, Naruto and Gaara. Our mission will be to get the Hidden scrolls before the Akatsuki can."
Dareda pondered this over. "Hmm, if we get in trouble.. send a very powerful attack into all directions into the sky, so we can see it other villages… make it a very loud, powerful attack, so we can hear it also… We'll be running as fast as we can to help out… Don't get yourselves killed out there.."
Naruto grinned. "This is pretty cool!! It's been a while since we had a sweet-ass mission! And together with Neji and Gaara, we are completely invincible!"
Gaara nodded. "Indeed.. I pity those who will encounter us.."
Neji smiled. "This will be very interesting.. I take it if we encounter Hunter-nins from Gaara's or mine and Naruto's Village, we simply kill them?" Neji asked.
Itachi nodded. "Of course. Just do what you would normally do."
"Heh! You are only with two, you should be more careful than us, Itachi, Dareda!" Mokito let out. "It would be a total bummer if you guys are suddenly found dead."
Itachi stared at Mokito, before turning away and walked towards his sleeping place. Dareda grinned at Mokito. "Don't worry… I don't think any of us will die… For a change, we are actually doing something good now, and that is to stop the Akatsuki. I expect many other strong Shinobis to do the same…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok!! All of you line up behind each other!!" Lee shouted at his three students. "Our first mission will be a visit to the sweet lands of the Sand!! Walk together and in rhythm! When Hanabi takes a step with her left leg Gekkou and Morino will take that certain step with their left leg at the same time as well! I want perfect synchronization!"
Hanabi swallowed at the ridiculousness of Lee's suggestions. Gekkou Toji's left eye twitched and Morino Ujin yawned. "Why must we walk like that?!" Both Toji and Hanabi screamed at the same time, Toji coughed wildly after his outburst, though.
Lee smiled at his students. "Because, I want you three to know each other's every move, every error and every advantage! All that will lead to perfect teamwork!"
"Says who?" Hanabi questioned.
Lee sulked a bit, before straightening himself out. "Says me! You must listen to me and never question my authority!! Now let's go!! And move in synchronization!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This is too troublesome… these little morons aren't even listening to me!' Shikamaru thought as he stared at his three students, Aoba Ruin, Sarutobi Konohamaru and Moegi. "Listen up, you little…. Genins.." Shikamaru quickly made something up, instead of cursing at them. "We have a mission… We have to help the other team to escort a woman back to her village… It seems she wants as many guards as possible around her. Very troublesome.. But it's a mission, expect to be bored. Meet me here tomorrow morning! You are all dismissed!"
Ten-Ten told her little team the completely same thing... Her students were Udon, Kensu and Enola Mohe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TBC..
A/N: I know the mission that has been given to Shikamaru's and Ten-Ten's team is the same as the first serious mission given to Kakashi's team. It may seem that way now, but it will go completely different, of course. I am so sorry that I needed this whole chapter to finish Sasuke's fight and Gaara's and Naruto's fight. But an idea suddenly popped in my head about Aburame Turin and Odei Doro, so… Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I hope you don't mind I let that 5 in 1 guy/woman get killed, heh, of course you didn't… Well, I'm signing off, G'bye!
