Naruto awoke in a cold sweat, his mind racing. Was it a dream or something more. He checked his wrist and the band was there. Luckily he didn't have to decide what to do next, that decision was made for him.
The wrist band beeped and began to glow, it emitted a beam of light that expanded and sharpened into a likeness of Kakashi. The mini Kakashi waved to Naruto, "Yo, sorry for contacting you so late. The weird guy guy on the bike has just finished building this place. We don't know much about him, only that he is good...damn good at every thing. Anko and Kurneai are going after him right now."
Naruto of course didn't hear a word of it because he was still getting his head around the hologram. Mini Kakasho continued "...listen Naruto you were picked by some very powerful people to carry on the what they started . And I know you will make them proud, but right now you have to get to the training ground, your friends are under attack. Save them while i figure out how to work this stuff." With that Naruto jumped out the window and rushed to the training grounds.
he was there in mere moments, there he found Shika, Hinata, Chouji and Sakura surrounded by what appeared to be puppets. The same puppets the sand village is known for. Naruto called out to his friends, "Yo, whats going on?"
Shika responded,"We all had a troublesome dream, and awoke to find these bands on our wrists and the need to come here."
As Shika gave the explanation Naruto made his way to his friends. Strangely the puppets did not to stop him or even move. Once side by side his friends noticed how the moment filled him with something. Something beyond what words could describe, it felt right. He in his heart he knew his was strong, but he knew with his friends he was invincible.
"Kyuubi-kun..." A cold voice called from the shadows. Naruto knew it was before the owner showed himself. "Kabuto...", Naruto whispered between clenched teeth.
The former leaf nin showed himself, behind the the puppets, "I am glad you remembered. I still owe you for the stomach ache..."
Naruto cocked his trademarked grin and nodded to his friends, "Yo, you guys handle the trash. I got the traitor scum."
Naruto leaped toward Kabuto, while Shika tossed down a smoke pellet. The four disappeared in a dark cloud. Using ti for cover they made their way to the forest. The puppets that was stock still now followed the four into the forest with killing intent.
Fight number one Shika vs Puppets:
Being the least physical of the four, Shika was the first of quartet be caught up with. He tried to hide from them by taking cover in the forest canopy. He thought he was safe but the puppets found him and surrounded him. Shika sighed in defeat and turned to his soon to be killers and said "You guys do know i am just a kawami covered in explosive tags right?" And then boom all the puppets were vaporized in a white flash.
The real Shika a few feet away snapped his fingers and said , "Checkmate." Before returning to his book.
Result: Jutsu rangers 1, Enemy 0
Sorry if this is rough. I have to write when it strikes me and english is not my first language. My muse is picky. Next chapter: Akimichi secret family art and the flowers in the hidden leaves have thorns or Konoah's lovely twin cam attack.
