In the Forest
Chapter 3
As I gazed up at the enormous trees I felt a sensation. I looked down to see that Sakura was holding my damn hand. What an obsessed girl she is! But I wasn't angry, I was kinda liking it, and I was mad at myself for feeling that way. She looked up into my eyes and I immediately liked it some more. Stop it Sasuke! I thought as we walked up to Angel Clearing, You never felt this before when we trained!
"Welcome to Angel Forest, a utopia of beauty, wonder, and danger." Hokage said easily as he walked looking at the teams, "You shall receive one scroll, and it shall contain….."
"Drugs! Wahoo!" a crazy ninja yelled.
"No, Walker, not drugs," the Hokage stated, "It shall contain a riddle. Solve it and find where you need to go. The rest will unfold."
Riddles? Damn, I hate those things! I can barely solve them. I looked in Sakura's green eyes. I hope that she knows about them. The Hokage made his way to me, smiling.
"You, my boy, are special, don't overuse your powers." I nodded. How stupid am I? I'm a Uchiha, for crying out loud. Uchihas have ruled as number one clan for who knows how long. And I'll bring them back, I thought fiercely, if it's the last thing I do. Sakura stared at the scroll, studying it.
"Hmmm.. don't open til you've reached Angel Rock." She read clearly.
"Angel Rock? Is everything here named Angel?"
"No, there is Devil's Center in the middle of this "heavenly" forest. More like a pain!" Shikamaru said as he walked by.
"Pain forest, huh?" Sakura said, chuckling.
"How bout drug forest?" I grinned, staring at Walker.
"I dunno!" Sakura whispered, "Maybe we should conduct a drug bust."
And we laughed until we cried. When we arrived at the formal farewell party, I noticed that the Hokage had a blood thirsty look, and it was at me. As if he longed for power. I felt creeped out.
What the hell is the Hokage thinking? I dunno, but I better watch my back! Tune in for next chapter!
