Jenny's POV
As I opened the drawstring bag, I shut my eyes waiting for the worst to happen.
Nothing.
I opened one eye and peered in cautiously. No trap. Warily I put my hand in and pulled out a scroll. It had the Japanese symbol for earth on it. Curious, I opened it. Inside was what looked like a profile:
Name: Jenny Azukara
Appearance: black hair, dark brown eyes
Origin: Village hidden in the Songs
Age: 13
Specialties: Is all around good at everything but displays a special talent for ninjutsu. Good on information missions.
Surprised, I closed I put down the scroll and looked inside. There was a metal green dragon curled in a tight ball, special kunai that looked like they were edged with diamond, and…a picture of my family? I took the picture out and looked at it. They were all there: my dad, my mom, my older sister and my little brother. I smiled as I carefully placed it back inside and looked at the others. They were opening their scrolls too.
"What does it say?" I asked after reading mine out loud. Then they read theirs:
Name: Kelsey Azukara

We all took out the contents of our bags to compare. We all had pictures of our families and curled metal dragons in our respective colors. Our weapons were different though. Nicole had chakra-filled gloves, Liz had silver shurikans, and Kelsey had a small dagger. She picked up the strange knife.
"It feels like it has some sort of transformation jutsu on it…" She closed her eyes and forced the chakra away. There was a flash of light and in the dagger's place was a sword that reached from her feet to her stomach. The hilt was studded with sapphire blue stones and the blade was an iridescent blue. On the broad side it was 6 inches and was less than a ¼ thick.
"Isn't that heavy?" I asked in amazement. She stood up and swung it around her head, then stabbed and parried an invisible foe. She lowered it and smiled. "It's not heavy at all". She then let the chakra that formed the henge (transformation) jutsu slide over the blade and with another pulse of light, it turned back into the ordinary-looking dagger.
She sat down next to me. I suddenly was filled with dread.
"What is it?" Nicole asked, seeing my crestfallen face.
"All of you defeated your Kakashi, right?" There was a chorus of yeses and I felt my face fall even more.
"So did I. that means that all four of them were clones". Kelsey looked confused.
"Didn't he only make three clones?" I shook my head gravely.
"Yes. That means that he might have made another one while chasing us and maybe even had gotten the chance to watch one of our battles. And see our powers…" Liz looked bewildered.
"What does it matter? He has power thingys too!" Kelsey sighed.
"Yes, but in a different way. See, chakra is the physical force of the body combined with the spiritual force, which is intensified through special training. Combine these two elements together and you get chakra. Then add hand signs and you have a jutsu. Jutsus are based on the five elements and require different amounts of chakra. But we…" she trailed off.
"We didn't use any hand signs. And that's rare. Extremely rare. I really don't know anyone in the series that doesn't use them". Liz pouted and crossed her arms.
"What do you mean series?" Nicole's face went from confusion to shock and surprise.
"That show we watched, the blond-haired kid…we're in that show aren't we?" Liz looked between all three of us.
"Uh uh, no way, that's impossible, never going to happen. This is probably a dream or hallucination that-""That we are all having at the same time?" Nicole interrupted. She shifted nervously. "Maybe…"
"Look we better start moving before-"
"Before what? Before I find you? Too late…" a dreadfully familiar voice interrupted behind us. Kelsey whipped around to face him.
"You know, you really should stop doing that. Its getting really annoying and one day you are going to give us a heart attack" He looked slightly amused by her outburst.
"I can do whatever I please. You on the other hand, can't"
"Why not?" Kelsey challenged. He lazily took out a kunai and spun it around on it finger.
"Because I could kill you with one move if I wanted to"
"You wouldn't" I shot back, though I felt doubt knowing at the edge of my mind. He smiled under his mask.
"I can and I will if you don't come with me" Kelsey faltered.
"Yea? Well…try and make us Copy Cat!" His eye narrowed a little and in the blink of an eye he had her arm behind her back and the kunai at her throat.
"Now do you believe me?" I gulped.
Damn, he had to be serious.
"Fine, we'll go with you, just let her go" He seemed satisfied and reappeared in front of us.
"Good. Now lets get going. The sooner we get there the sooner we can speak with the Hokage" he said over his shoulder as he entered the forest. We all slowly picked up our backpacks and followed him. Kelsey and I exchanged nervous looks. This was going to turn out interesting…
