The Hidden Snow Assassins: Chapter two : Deadly Freeze
A/N: okay folks, here's chapter two. I've really worked hard on this, but I would really appreciate some comments, or suggestions. I actually love constructive criticism, and if I'm not being true to the characters, please tell me and ill try my hardest to fix it. And as always, I do not own Naruto nor any of the characters aside from the hidden snow village (and please tell me if that's already a village) and the hidden snow assassins.
Naruto didn't hear him and kept going.
Uri looked at the red haired girl. "Hikana-sama? May I?" She asked politely, her voice deadly soft. The red haired girl, Hikana, nodded. "Go for it Uri chan." Uri nodded her thanks. Naruto had, by that time, stopped to watch. Uri walked forwards until she was five feet in front of Naruto. She bowed elegantly and got into a fighting stance.
"This will be quick then." Said Naruto confidently. Uri's eyes showed nothing as usual. Naruto shivered slightly but got ready to fight anyways. I can beat her if she's just using taijutsu… he thought. Uri ran forward before he could finish his thoughts and aimed a powerful, if not deadly spin kick at his head. He brought his arm up quickly to block, but still went flying to the side with the force of impact. When he got back up, his arm was hanging limply at his side. Uri got back into a fighting stance and waited.
Naruto held his arm protectively, but to his great surprise the feeling was beginning to return. He moved it a few times and smirked.
"It looks like you're not as powerful as we thought you were huh?" He said arrogantly, smirking still. Uri just continued to stare blankly. Hikana came forward and shouted to Uri.
"Hey stop toying around with him and finish already!" Uri nodded and Naruto's smirk fell.
Toying, you mean she's just been playing this whole time!
Uri untied the jacked around her waist and threw it behind her for Hikana to catch, which she easily did. There were two objects tied around her waist that were hidden by her jacket. Naruto couldn't quite figure out what they were. Uri touched one of them and a sadistic smirk crossed her lips for a brief second. It sent chills down everyone's spine, including the other assassins. She untied both objects and snapped them open to reveal that they were two fans with sharp spines. She held one fan high in front of her and the other off to the side. Naruto watched her, spellbound, as she began to dance. As she danced the blades of the fan slashed at him, proving themselves to be sharper than the blades of Korenno and Chaya's weapons.
He jumped out of range and began thinking frantically. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Uri appeared in front of him, her fans falling in a deadly arc aimed at his head. A kunai, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, pinned both fans to the tree next to Uri before they could slice Naruto in half. Uri stared at her fans for a second and Naruto took the opportunity to copy her spin kick from earlier. It was aimed directly for her head, and she wouldn't have any time to block it, or so he thought. His foot collided with the blade of Chaya's weapon, and he stared straight into her mocking eyes. Sasuke jumped out of a nearby tree and landed next to Naruto, making Chaya smile.
"Two on one is just not fair now is it?" she asked, taking her place beside Uri.
Meanwhile, Kakashi had left, unknown to any of them, to get help. He had taken sakura with him and had left her at a hospital before beginning his search. He saw Shikamaru, Tenten, and Neji and told them what had happened. After he finished, the three of them went of to find Sasuke and Naruto. After watching them leave he went off to find Tsunade-sama and tell her what had happened.
Shikamaru, Tenten, and Neji arrived to see Sasuke beaten and bloody, lying on the ground, and Naruto still barely standing. Chaya was also lying on the ground, unconscious, and Uri was standing in front of her defensively.
Hikana was the first to notice the three, or rather, she noticed Neji. Shikamaru and Tenten were still hidden to her. Hikana threw a kunai at Neji, making him jump out of the tree. He landed next to Naruto and looked over the competition.
"You're…late…" Said Naruto, breathing heavily. Neji nodded and glared coldly at the remaining three assassins. Korenno nodded to Hikana and went to stand next to Uri and faced Neji. She bowed and smirked mockingly at him.
A kunai shot out of the trees and Uri and Korenno were barely able to dodge it in time. Hikana stepped forward and picked up Chaya's body gently, setting it against a tree, being careful not to hurt her further.
Tenten jumped out the trees and stood next to Neji. Shikamaru watched everything from a different tree. Neji and Tenten were just distractions wile he tried to figure out which assassin was the leader and get behind her. He guessed it was Hikana and made his way to her, jumping from tree to tree silently.
Korenno grinned at the three Genins in front of her. She spun the halberd expertly in one hand, making the three back up slightly. She grinned sadistically and began her attack on the three.
Shikamaru appeared behind Hikana and jumped down silently behind her. She saw his shadow overlapping hers and turned quickly but not quickly enough.
"Kage Mane no Jutsu!" he shouted, activating his strongest jutsu, the Shadow Copy Technique.
