Prologue: Goodbye Konoha

Shino rose from his bed and traveled to his closet where he tied his forehead protector to (well) his forehead and he went to the kitchen to eat breakfast after which he left his house with parting words with his family, hastily he walked to the village gate where koigensu is supposed to meet him, sasuke, and sakura.

Sasuke (having had a nightmare) had fallen out of bed and woke up a pile of ninja, pillow and blanket, he got up with bags under his eyes and went to the bathroom to prepare for the trip, without a word to anyone he left his house and traveled to the gate where he was to meet with his comrades.

Sakura sprang out of bed ready and eager to meet sasuke at the village gate, although eager to meet with sasuke she still had to worry about her appearance so she put her makeup on and as she was walking out of her house she noticed sasuke walking toward the village gate and she ran after him..

Since they were the first team there (since they were told to be) they started to complain about Koigensu being late, "where is he?" "Heh he's probably not even awake yet", just as they were REALLY starting to complain Koigensu dropped from the tree behind sasuke and smacked him in the back of the head, "Hush here come the other groups".

"see ya sis, Later Koi. Remember to write, inform us of your progress," He leaned in to whisper "And don't forget the plan"

"Wouldn't even consider forgetin'." Koigensu responded

"I guess I'll try to remember, and don't you forget either." Skiaka answered.

The rookie nine also had some long goodbyes, and It was far more dramatic than necessary. It lasted about 5 minutes and the time to say good byes was over, they left Skiaka, Ino, Chouji, and Kiba to the white beaches, Koigensu, Sasuke, Shino, and Sakura to the Black woods, and Shiboito, Naruto, Hinata, and Shikamaru to the Red Mountains. They spread off. The last parting looks at each other was the last thing they saw of their friends for the next two and a half years, or was it?...

They looked back at their friends one last time before the trees engulfed their vision.

Sasuke looked over to Shino and thought "Humph what's he so quiet for?"

Sakura (being her usual inquisitive self) tapped koigensu on the shoulder and asked "Where are we going Mr. Koigensu?

Koigensu looked back with a smile on his face and replied, "First off I'm not a sensei so don't call me Mister or sensei, and secondly you can never know where youre going until you've been there."

Koigensu stopped, turned around and addressed the group "Ok we need to pick up the pace if we are to make it in time"

Koigensu turned and was about to leap into the canopy of trees above when sasuke grabbed his shoulder.

"what is it sasuke?"

"What do you mean make it on time?"

"You'll see"

Just as sasuke was about to ask another question a kunai flew threw the air and buried itself into the ground a few inches away from sasuke. Koigensu sprung into action, he leapt into the trees and grabbed the person who had thrown the kunai.

"What are you doing here?"

The person didn't answer he just looked at sasuke

Koigensu became angry at this point and shook the man "Answer me! What are you doing here!"

The man still just looked at sasuke

Koigensu began to shake with rage and yelled in the mans face "I will ask you one more time what are you doing here!"

The man finally answered him and said "I'm here for him" then pointed at sasuke

Koigensu knew who the man was then and he killed him swiftly.

"Come on we have to move NOW!"

Koigensu and the group sprang into the trees and ran through the canopy away from the area where the man had found them.

Koigensu began to wonder at this point, he thought to himself "So that's what they were after."

They had come a long way when Koigensu saw a clearing in the trees and called for a stop

"you can rest here for a while stay together and make sure you stay alert, I'm going to go look around and see if I can find anything.

Sasuke leaned against a tree and said aloud "Humph why did I get stuck with this group?"

Sakura walked over to sasuke and said "Its ok sasuke at least we have each other"

Shino just looked at them both and decided if they were going to talk then he had to be the alert one.

Meanwhile Koigensu was looking around when he heard a scream from the direction of the three rookies to witch he had been assigned, he ran back so fast that the draft from his own body didn't move the leaves until about seven seconds after he had passed the area. When he reached the clearing he saw what was happening there were three sound nins encircling the rookies, he threw a kunai at the back of ones head and killed him on the spot then the remaining two turned their attention on him they were running toward him, weaving in and out so that they couldn't be hit with a kunai, "this is orchestrated" koigensu thought, so he ran straight toward them and they both threw a kunai one kunai missed him completely and the other her caught and threw back, the returned kunai struck home and killed the nin with a gurgle and a thud. The remaining ninja decided if he was to stick around he would also meet his demise so he left hastily.

Koigensu turned angrily at the students and was about to ask them what they were doing when he noticed there were only two of them.

"where is shino?"

"hmm I don't know I haven't seen him since we stopped here."

At that point shino walked into the clearing dragging the ninja that got away behind him.

Koigensu turned his attention from sasuke and sakura to shino

"good work shino!"

"thank you koigensu"

"we need to move now, but you see the importance of staying alert?"

All three of the rookies chorused a loud "YES!" and then they leapt into the canopy leaving the bodies to lay in the clearing.

REVEIW OR I WILL KILL YOU!

Thank you, have a nice day
