"Let's go excavate the women and children shall we?" Sakura asked her new team. "I would have preferred a more action-packed activity. But, I've got two lousy members with me. Well, what can I do?" Kiba thought.

Chapter 2

"Okay, so I'll go to the hospital while Chouji-san goes to the academy and Kiba-san you'll go to the villagers' houses. Is that alright?" Sakura questioned her new teammates.

"Hai!" the other two teammates consented as they departed in separate ways.

Scene: Villager's house #1

"Hey! Please leave the house quickly! This is an excavation!" Kiba shouted to the residents in the house.

The people quickly ran out of the house. "Who is that boy? He's so weird. His tone doesn't even sound like he's serious in excavating us. Is he toying around with us!"

Kiba walked to the other villagers' houses and excavated them with the same tone. He was about to excavate another house when he heard a shriek. He ran towards the screech and saw an unknown ninja torturing a young lady. "Yosh! This is my chance! Let's go Akamaru!"

"Hey you! Leave her alone!"

"Eh? Who are you to command me little boy!"

Being called a little boy pissed Kiba off.

"Who are you calling a little boy!" Kiba said as he went on fours and did a tiger hand seal. "Gijyuu Ninpou Shikyaku no Jutsu!" Kiba's nails grew longer and chakra could be seen molding from his body. He ran towards the unknown ninja and tried scratching and punching him. But he missed as the shinobi dodged.

"Ha! You'll never beat me. Your Jutsu is pretty impressive, pity you used it against me." The shinobi mocked Kiba.

"Nani! How can you insult my skills! Grrr... I'll show you my real strength!" Kiba took some smoke bombs out from his pouch and threw it towards his enemy. "Akamaru!" Kiba shouted to his dog. The dog barked to show that he understood.

Kiba ran into the smoke and started to punch his enemy. "Damn it! I can't see in this smoke. I have to get out!" The unknown ninja thought. He ran out just to see Akamaru jump on him and he fell back into the smoke. Kiba punched him a few more times, grabbed Akamaru, and left the smoke. He waited for the smoke to subside to see his enemy lying on the floor.

"Heh. So, who is lousy now? Are you any better? If you are, then show me!" Kiba taunted the shinobi.

The shinobi stood up. "Not bad kid. Since you ask for it, I shall show you." The shinobi bit his finger and did boar, dog, bird, monkey and ram hand seals. Then he put his palm on the ground and shouted, "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"

A beautiful dragon with flames appeared and perched itself on its owner's arm. "This is my specialty! Eat this! Karyuu! (I couldn't think of any other nice names for a dragon. )" The dragon roared and charged towards Kiba, burning him.

"Arghh!" Kiba screamed in pain and retreated from the creature.

"So, who is lousy now?"

Scene: Sasuke, Shino, and Ino

"This must be his doings. I must find a way to stop him." Sasuke thought to himself grimly. "Shino, Ino! Both of you shall go help the citizens!"

"Hai!" they went their ways.

"I have to find you... Itachi..." Sasuke rushed off to find Itachi.

Scene: Kiba against the shinobi

Kiba grinned to himself. "Akamaru!" He shouted as he threw a pill that he took from his pouch. Akamaru ate it which made him grow red and monstrous. Kiba bent down in a four legged position and Akamaru climbed on top of him. He did a tiger hand seal. "Gijyuu Ninpou Jyuujin Bunshin!"

Akamaru transformed into an exact replica of Kiba.

"Gatsunga!" Akamaru and Kiba turned spun as fast as tornadoes and charged straight at the shinobi. He was shocked, but recovered fast. Karyuu blew a horrendous amount of fire at Kiba and Akamaru.

Both were burnt and had to stop. Kiba bent down and panted. The unknown ninja, took the advantage, beat him and Akamaru up really bad until they lost consciousness.

"Too bad, you lost." With that, the shinobi disappeared in a gust of smoke.

"Where is he!" Sasuke cursed as he jumped from tree to tree. Finally, he spotted a dark haired guy wearing a flowery cloak. "Aha!"

"Itachi! This is all your doings. Stop it!" Sasuke shouted at his brother after he landed on the ground.

"Stop your whining Sasuke. What doings? What misfortune happened? I don't even know!"

"Don't act dumb!" Sasuke gritted his teeth. He reached for a kunai in his pouch and charged at Itachi.

Sasuke tried desperately to slash his brother with the kunai in his hand. Itachi easily dodged it and grabbed Sasuke's hands to stop his attempts. He punched Sasuke in the stomach and sent him flying to a tree trunk. Sasuke slid to the floor. He lay on the floor, groaning in pain.

"Foolish little brother. Don't you know that you can never defeat me unless your abilities surpass mine?" Itachi walked slowly towards Sasuke and kneeled down beside him. "I really have nothing to do with whatever you think I have done."

"Liar!" Sasuke suddenly punched Itachi in the face without any warning.

Itachi massaged the spot where Sasuke punched him. "So this is how you really think of me..." Itachi thought disappointingly.

"It's so weird. Sasuke-kun asked us to help the citizens. It isn't like him." Ino thought worriedly. She headed back from the direction she came from and met Shino on the way. "Ino, you're worried about Sasuke too eh?"

"Yes." Ino felt uncomfortable talking to Shino as she rarely did to him.

"Okay, let's go."

And they jumped up to the trees and tried searching for Sasuke.

"You're too weak to defeat me, little brother." Itachi sneered at Sasuke. "You have to become stronger and right now, you're too weak to even spill blood out of me."

"Arghhhhhhh! I'll prove you wrong!" Sasuke ran around Itachi to gain momentum. At the same time, energy that looked somewhat like electricity formed in Sasuke's hands. He charged straight at his brother with hatred.
