Author Notes: I don't do, you don't sue.

Sorry for the short chapters, I had writers block xD!

Italics: Thoughts or Flashbacks

BOLD: Emphasis

My battle scenes could use working on, so review and give me your advice!

Team 7 and Rose headed towards Moon Country, Rose's destination.

"So, what are you planning to do after you reach Moon?" asked Sakura.

"I'm going to a pageant. I hope to win first place!" Rose said, eyes darting around.

Kakashi noticed that Rose was acting weird and what she said sounded rehearsed.

Sasuke noticed that Rose was acting weird too. He looked towards the general direction she looked at and saw a kunai's glint. Silently Sasuke turned on his Sharigan and casually made a comment, "I see a squirrel running around."

Team 7 instantly made a circle formation around Rose and threw shuriken over the area.

"Magnetic Repulsion no Jutsu!"

A person stepped out, a Sound headband perched on his forehead. "So this is who they send to save the Moon? A bunch of brats and some guy with a weird hairdo? Pitiful"

"Metaru(1)? Shall we take them down?" a second sound nin stepped out and leaned against a tree.

"Yes, Yoru(2), of course."

Everyone was looking at Rose and wondering what was up. They got into their positions and got ready to fight. The sound nins made the first move.

"Metal Sword no Jutsu!"

"Despair of the Night no Jutsu!"

A metal sword appeared in Metaru's hand and soon began to turn the darkest black. Yoru started to fade out.

"Heh, you guys are going to die here and now!" Metaru said before charging at Rose.

Kakashi got in the path of Metaru and yelled, "CHIDORI!", stopping the blade in it's track. "Go find the other one, and protect Rose!"

"Right!", yelled Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto. Sakura and Naruto guarded Rose while Sasuke searched for the other nin with his Sharigan.

Kakashi was barely holding his own. Why isn't his blade breaking?

"You like my Muchitsujo(3) blade? It's unbreakable!" Metaru started doing one handed seals. "You're dead!"

Kakashi broke out of the parry and moved up his headband, revealing his Sharigan. These guys sure are ignorant…

Meanwhile, Sasuke found Yoru and began to fight him. Naruto came to Sasuke's aid and tried to take down Yoru.

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

All they hit was Kage Bushins. Or so it seemed…

The vapors of the destroyed Kage Bushins wrapped around Sasuke and Naruto, threatening to kill the two boys.

"Secret Art: Destructive Darkness!" Yoru cackled. "I can crush you and your puny friends all at once! You lose!" and commenced to do the hand seals to destroy Team 7. Naruto and Sasuke smirked. It was almost too easy.

"Secret Art: Destructive Darkness!"

Yoru was suddenly wrapped up in his own Kage Bushin vapors.

"WHAT?"

"You underestimated us, and now you're going to pay!" yelled Naruto.

"Sendo(4) Rasengan!"

A bright light enveloped the vicinity. Sasuke could barely see through the light with the Sharigan, and Naruto pushed in, then letting the Rasengan explode in Yoru. When the light cleared, all that was left was the charred remains of Yoru and the exhausted frame of Naruto.

Meanwhile Kakashi was fighting halfheartly.

"It seemed like my boys killed yours." Kakashi noted before dodging Metaru's stroke.

"Try this!"

"Metal Bushin no Jutsu!"

Kakashi was surrounded by metal bushins, glaring at him with a killer intent.

Wha…?

"I'll finish you off!" Metaru snarled. "Sealing of the Metal!"

He tossed his blade in the middle of the circle of bushins and the darkness of the sword started spread and envelop Kakashi.

"Sealing of Darkness!"

"Crescent Wind!"

The next second Kakashi saw Metaru's head rolling on the floor and two scrolls in the air.

Wha…?

Naruto woke up amongst Kakashi and the others camping out.

"What happened?"

Kakashi took notice of Naruto waking up and felt that Sakura should explain, since she saw everything.

"You killed the other nin, but the first nin almost beat Kakashi until Rose stepped in."

Kakashi almost got beat until Rose stepped in…?

"What do you mean Rose stepped in?" Naruto was shocked and beyond for words.

Kakashi added, "I think Rose should tell you and us HOW exactly a girl going to a pageant show managed to kill a jounin by herself."

Rose started, "Well…"

Oh, a cliffhanger! I needed one because you people don't read enough -.-

What is Rose's secret? What is going to happen next? How did Naruto learn that new move? All will be revealed next chapter!

Review and get good luck. No, this isn't a ploy to get more reviews... -.-

(1) Metal

(2) Night

(3) Chaos

(4) Death

Note: I will try to use Japanese words for names and English words for jutsus, if I can help it. Rose was the first thing that came to my mind.
