True Power
Chapter 15: Ninja Sound
Power, I will gain power, I will stop at nothing until I get it
Sasuke Uchiha
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"Heh, like it would do you any good." The guy with the bandages wrapped around his face said, "We're just here to kill the Uchiha."
"You can try." Gaara said as a giant fist of sand went to enclose the person with the holes in his hands. The guy grinned maliciously and shoved his hands into the fist. The entire structure blew and collapsed.
Naruto yelled, as he charged at the guy with the bandages. He moved to punch him in the face, but the guy moved out of the way. The sound ninja retaliated by returning the punch, he missed Naruto. A low humming filled the air, which the members of team 7 picked up because of their demons enhancing their hearing.
The world swayed before Naruto's eyes. Staggering queasily he fell to the ground and threw up.
"Heh, fools," the leader of the sound ninja said, "You underestimate the power of sound. Do you even know what sound really is?"
"It is vibrations of the molecules in the air, water, of ground." Haku replied.
"Exactly," the leader replied pulling down his sleeve revealing a device attacked to his arm, "we hear sound when its waves are picked up by our ear, channelled down our ear canal, then our eardrum converts it into a different type of vibration, but I am more interested in the other parts of the ear, the cochlea, and other organs that control balance."
"Yah," the guy with the spiky hair sneered showing the holes in his hand, "with these babies I can control the air, water and earth, moulding it to my will. Your traditional methods of fighting are no match for the new era of ninjas,"
Naruto was suddenly an orange blur of motion, grabbing his opponents arm he twisted the arm so the device was facing away from him.
"Heh, this device creates a sound wave which I can redirect with my chakra,"
However nothing happened. Then the arm started to spark then water began to pour from the speakers, the water was vibrating as it engulfed the arm then the water stilled.
"Never reveal your secrets to your opponent," Naruto said as he dealt the leader of blow to the stomach.
"They're all yours Haku!" he called out as he moved behind the water user.
"How did you stop my arm?" the leader stuttered.
"Use your head, you work with sound after all" Haku replied.
"You disabled the device with a water jutsu, then counteracted the sound waves with your own vibrations, clever," the kouichi in the group remarked.
"Then counter this," the spiky haired sound shinobe said shoving his hands into the ground. The ground cracked and a spout of water shot up creating a pool were there was once solid ground.
Gaara jumped into the trees, Kai and Sasuke slung over his shoulders, followed by Naruto who was carrying a shocked and embarrassed Hinata.
"Just try and beat me now leaf scum," the sound shinobe hissed his hands were manipulating the vibrations in the pool to create waves, and whirlpools. Then he let out a howl of pain, the vibrations stopped and the water around his hands became stained red with blood. He pulled his hands out of the water like it was acid. His hands had been split from his chakra holes leaving behind ribbons of useless flesh.
"Water expands when it is frozen," Haku replied, "when water freezes it has the power to split rock."
"Kill, the Uchiha and lets get out of here." The leader ordered to the kouichi.
The kouichi was gone in a poof of smoke only to reappear right above Sasuke with a kunai poised over his throat. The cursed seal on Sasuke activated; black images appeared on his skin obscuring the entire left side of his face and body.
"Power, I must gain power. No longer will the Uchiha Clan be weak. I must have power; I will eat the devil's fruits in order to get it."
Sasuke grabbed the kouichi's arm, and with a sickening crack broke it. He then rounded on the other two sound ninjas
"What? Orchimaru cursed him?" the leader said fear creeping into his voice, "Let's get out of here."
The sound ninja disappeared leaving a cursed Sasuke standing knee deep in water in the middle of the clearing.
Haku grabbed a needle with a sutra on it, and shot it at Sasuke. The Uchiha move to catch the sebon but it slipped through his fingers and struck the Cursed Seal.
Sparks jumped from the seal and the needle was reduced to ash. The seal faded for a second then darkened. The marks on Sasuke disappeared and he collapsed.
"Wh-what happened?" he stuttered out while starring at his hand.
Kai then started to mumble something in his sleep. In response Haku conjured a ball of ice cold water above his head and let it drop. Kai woke up with a start.
"Where's that snake bastard I'll kill him!" he roared pulling out a dagger he had concealed in his sleeve. It took a few hours to clam down Kai to the point were he would listen to what happened.
"So that creepy grass ninja cursed Sasuke?" he said comprehension dawning on his face.
There was a heavy silence that followed until Haku spoke up.
"I'll take the first watch; we can start out in the morning if we are lucky we can reach the tower before the third day."
"Who says we are going with you?" Sasuke retorted his arrogance back in full force.
"Hinata," Naruto replied, "We both already have the all the scrolls we need. Besides a larger group of ninjas is stronger then two smaller groups, or are you going to let your pride endanger your team mates?"
Sasuke didn't reply he just scowled, pulled out a sleeping pallet, and pretended to be asleep.
"Well I agree with Naruto," Kai said, "we are stronger as a group."
"Good so its settled," Naruto replied, "we'll head to the tower tomorrow. I'll take second watch!"
Soon all of team 5 and most of team 7 were sleeping soundly. Only Haku was awake keeping a constant vigil over his team mates. When 1½ hours had passed he stood up and walked over to Naruto. It was his turn to take the watch.
Meanwhile at he camp of Gai's team
"Yosh, team mate I'd like to congratulate you on your latest facial decoration," Lee complemented in his own weird way.
"Huh?" Neji asked confused by Lee's choice of words.
"Your moustache," Tenten said.
"What moustache?" Neji asked even more confused.
Tenten pulled a mirror out of nowhere and showed it to Neji. The resulting scream was heard all over the Forest of Death, and even in the village as well.
Meanwhile Feneris was sneaking through the room the sound ninja had used looking for incriminating evidence. He had just finished decoding a message involving an alliance between a group of dark elves and the Sound, when the scream reached the Village.
"Looks like Neji found out about the moustache. Kakashi, Asuma, and the Hokage each owe me 50 dollars." he thought to himself as he slipped out of the window.
