Chapter 3: Get back the puppets.

Kakashi bites his thumb, does some hand seals and slams his hand on the ground. A puff of smoke appears and when the smoke fades away Pakkun is sitting there waiting for orders.

"Pakkun, can you try to follow our enemies and see where they're headed?" Kakashi asks.

"I could, if you had anything with their smell on it."

"Could you track the poison one of them used on Kiba?"

"Piece of cake, let me smell him." Pakkun walks towards Kiba and smells at the wound.

"Even though he stinks I can smell the poison, I should be able to track them down now."

"Ok, then go and find them, when you know where they are, report back to me."

"Will do." Pakkun runs away tracing the Chaos ninja by the smell of Meizu's poison.

"So, what do we do in the meantime?" Neji asks no one in particular.

"Well, we better continue to the Sand, get reinforcements and then get the puppets back." Kakashi says as if it was something that happened every day.

"No, we can't, unless you have a death wish, we really need to get the puppets back before we got to Sand." Kankurou says panicked.

"Why shouldn't we go to Sand?" Kakashi asks.

"Because Gaara would kill us all if we did."

"I thought he wasn't such a psychopath anymore?"

"Well, one of the puppets was a gift for a dear friend of him, when it comes to his friends he can really go berserk."

"Well, then one of us should go back to Konoha to get backup from there, Neji, can you do that?"

"Off course, I'll be back in about eight hours with backup." Neji says and sprints off towards Konoha.

"So let's set up camp a bit off the road and wait for Neji to return." Kakashi says while walking to a nice spot to set up camp. They set up a tent they took with them to put Kiba in it to recover, then they went to sit on some rocks and started talking about a lot of things except for Kakashi who is reading his book in the trees.

"So for who are the puppets anyway?" Asuma asks.

"Like I said, one was a present for a friend of Gaara, one was for myself, and the last one was for a student of mine." Kankurou answers.

"You actually have students? Can't imagine you teaching genin or chuunin."

"Well, Asuma, you must have corrupted many kids' minds when you lead genin and chuunin teams too. So I have a genin team, who cares?" Kankurou is irritated by Asuma and again Kurenai gets in between them.

"Now boys, fighting is bad, we need our strength if we are to get those puppets back. So don't waste it on each other." She says with a sweet smile on her face.

OooOooOooO

'Finally, there's Konoha, now let's hope the guards will let me in immediately.'

"Stop, we need to make sure who you are." The guard says stopping Neji.

"I'm Hyuuga Neji, I'm an ANBU of Konoha, now let me in before I beat you to a pulp!" Neji roars. The guard fears for his life and quickly lets Neji through.

Neji runs through the streets, often having to avoid someone that's in the way. After too much avoiding he decides to run over the roofs so he jumps up on the roof and proceeds to the Hokage tower. When he runs into the building and up the stair he crashes into someone. He looks up and notices he crashed into Sakura.

"I'm sorry, I'm kind of in a hurry so I didn't watch out." He apologizes.

"That's ok Neji, but wait, if you're here, where's Kakashi? Where is he? Did he die? Please tell me!"

"How do you know I went on a mission with him?" Neji asks confused.

"I just know now answer me please!"

"We kind of got attacked, Kakashi almost got killed but one of the attackers stopped the attack. So Kakashi is alive and doing pretty well. But I have to see the Hokage now." And he sprints up the stairs again. When he's up he just busts into the office without knocking or anything.

"Hokage! We've got problems. You need to send help!" Neji yells. Tsunade's eye twitches and she stands up pissed off.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY! I'M TALKING WITH A VILLAGE LEADER HERE!" She yells almost deafening everyone close by. The man in the chair stands up and turns around. The man is wearing dark blue pants, a black shirt and has a forehead protector as a bandana. On the forehead protector is a logo Neji doesn't recognize. A couple of red strands of hair stick out from under the bandana. The man has brown eyes and a scar running from under his forehead protector to his lower jaw at the left side of his face. He puts his hand in front of him to shake Neji's hand. Neji shakes the man's hand while the man introduces himself.

"Good afternoon, my name is Matsuo Shun, leader of the Hidden Village of Chaos, nice to meet you."

"SAY WHAT?" Neji yells shocked. "But we were attacked by Chaos Ninja, they called themselves the Shadows of Chaos." Shun looks shocked.

"But that's impossible, the Shadows of Chaos are my personal guard and I never gave them the order to attack Konoha ninja."

"That's because the target was a ninja from the Sand transporting three puppets." Neji says.

"I didn't give them the order to do that either, I haven't been in my Village for a week now and missions I give to them are always given only 24 hours before it has to be done."

"Then who gave the order to attack us?" Neji is getting very angry. Tsunade is pretty shocked by what was just said.

"Neji, calm down, are there any casualties?" Tsunade asks trying to get Neji to stop harassing the man in front of him.

"Nobody died, though Kiba got wounded, and the rest of us got knocked out. Totally no damage on the enemies' side though."

"What did your enemy look like? How did they act? Know any names?" Tsunade asks knowing Shun would like to know that to check if it was really his personal guard.

"They all wore black cloaks like hunter-nins do, one of them acted weird, at first he was joking and later he got dead serious, one of them was just plain crazy. I got the names of three of them. Goizu, Meizu and Kira. Goizu and Meizu are missing-nins by the way."

"Yes, those are definitely my personal guards, but I swear on my life I didn't give them any missions to do this."

"Is there anyone who can give them orders when you are away or who could pretend to be you?" Tsunade asks.

"No, not really. Oh…. Wait, someone can pretend to be me! My twin brother Shin was always jealous of me having my own village. He might be behind this without anyone knowing."

"So, will we get backup or what?" Neji ask impatiently.

"No, we can't send backup as long as we don't know what we are dealing with."

"I know of a way to figure this all out and to even get your clients' cargo back." Shun says.

"How are you going to do that?" Neji asks

"Well, the Shadows have a hideout out in the Rain country, that's not our base of operations but they like to go there before and after a mission. I know how to get there. I can take you guys there, convince them that they're doing something wrong, and then stop my brother."

"What if it isn't your brother's doing and that they did this for themselves?" Tsuande says.

"They said that they had to get the puppets for their leader because he is a puppeteer." Neji says trying to convince Tsunade to help.

"That's definitely my brother, I'm not a puppeteer, my brother is."

"Fine, but you will have to do with the people I already sent, I can't send more out there at the moment."

"Thank you very much, Tsunade." Neji says with a smile on his face. "Another thing, could I talk to you in private, please?"

"Sure Neji, I bet Shun doesn't mind waiting outside." Shun nods and leaves the office.

"So Neji, What did you want to talk about?"

"I think you know fully well what I want to talk about. I want to know whether or not you have information about Hinata's whereabouts." He says slamming his hands on the desk in front of him.

"Are you still on to that? Forget about her, she's probably dead."

"No, I refuse to believe she is killed, especially by Naruto, like the village thinks!" Neji yells angrily.

"I know Naruto would never kill his friends, but she could probably have been killed by someone or something else. You should really get on with your life kid."

"I will not give up on my cousin!" Neji storms out of the office only to be stopped by Shun.

"Calm down boy. We can't have you losing your head out there. Now come on and I might have a surprise for you."

"A….Surprise?" Neji asks confused.

"Off course I can't say what it is or it wouldn't be a surprise."

OooOooOooO

'I'm getting close, the smell of poison is getting stronger.' Pakkun thinks running towards the source of the smell. When he's almost at the hideout he gets lifted up.

"Seems like I will get my dog with salt and pepper anyway." Pakkun looks to see a man with spiky brown hair, a forehead protector of chaos on his forehead, he has gray eyes and a grin that doesn't look healthy.

"What do you mean by that?" Pakkun says

"I'm going to eat you, you're pretty small, but it'll do." He walks inside the hideout and closes the door.

"Kira, I told you we couldn't have any pets." The leader of the group says.

"Don't be an asshole, I'm going to eat it, and take the damn hood and mask off, nobody will see you here."

"You're a moron, that dog is from the ninja you tried to stab, if it's here they are bound to arrive here any moment now."

"Oh fuck, I'm gonna drop it outside then."

"No, it'll go to Kakashi then, knock it out, he'll disappear." Kira gives Pakkun a blow to the back of his little head and Pakkun disappears in a puff of smoke.

"You really are stupid."

"Shut up Meizu!" Kira yells.

OooOooOooO

"When will Neji be back? It's been seven hours now!" Kiba complains.

"Congrats genius, you just said it yourself, he still has an hour to get here." Kankurou says irritated by Kiba's whining that has been going on for the past three hours which was when he woke up and got out of the tent.

"Humph, I understand why Asuma doesn't get along with you."

"Shut up you dog."

"Fuck you, I'm going to take a piss."

"That's more information than we needed, Kiba." Kakashi says from his tree.

"Are you still up there? That book must be mighty interesting!" Kiba yells to Kakashi. Kakashi just waves the comment off and goes back to reading. Kiba walks away a good distance from the group and does his business. When Kiba is about to return he hears rustling in the bushes. Kiba grabs a kunai a throws it at the spot he heard the sounds from.

"FOR FUCKS SAKE KIBA! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!" Neji yells angrily holding the kunai Kiba just threw at him.

"Sorry, didn't know it was you, but that'll teach not to sneak up on your allies." Shun comes out of the bushes too.

"Is that all the backup you could get? It looks like he isn't even from our village."

"That's right, he is the leader of the Hidden Village of Chaos." Kiba looks shocked.

"So when did the plan change to siding with the enemy?" Kiba asks curious for Neji's answer.

"He's not our enemy, it seems there is more to this shit than we know. I'll explain everything once we get back to the others." They head back to the rest of the group and Neji explains what is going on with the help of Shun at some points.

"Well, that's all nice and stuff, but how are we going to get the puppets back?" Kurenai asks.

"Simple." Shun says "We go to the hideout my personal guard uses when on missions, convince them that they've been taking orders from my brother and that we have to kick his ass."

"Let's get going then!" Kiba yells pumping his fist up in the air.

"First we got to take down the tent." Kakashi says.

OooOooOooO

After some hours of traveling the group is close to the hideout.

"Watch you step guys, they usually have this place filled with traps." Shun warns.

"Traps? What traAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Hey Kiba, you must be very proud now, you stepped into the same trap Naruto stepped into years ago at my bell test!" Kakashi says almost laughing his ass off.

"I'm going to kill you when I get down from this!" Just when Kiba said that a kunai flew through the air and cut the rope resulting in Kiba dropping on his head. He gets up and rubs the bump on his head.

"That fucking hurt, who did that?" He yells pissed off.

"That would be me, nice to see you guys again." Kakashi looks to a tree to the right of the tree Kiba just hung in and notices the speaker.

"My guess is you weren't happy about not being able to kill me, right Kira? You don't mind if I call you Kira, right?" Kakashi says.

"Not happy about it at all, but I'm not here for that, I'm here to make sure you guys don't reach my team."

"How are you going to do that, back there you weren't really having the upper hand against one person, why do you think you can stop seven people now?" Asuma asks.

"Because, my little teddy bear, I didn't feel like using techniques back then, I prefer taijutsu if you hadn't noticed yet. Now prepare to get hurt!" Kira starts doing hand seals in preparation of his attack. Shun recognizes the hand seals and his eyes go wide.

"Oh shit….." Shun starts to do some hand seals of his own.

"Night of a Thousand Blades!" Kira yells, the forest grows dark as if it's night and pure black blades start to appear. It doesn't take long before the entire place is filled with blades. After a moment of nothing happening all the blades shoot down all at once.

"Ultimate Shield of Chaos!" A black and red shield appears around the gang of seven and all the blades bounce off on it.

"What the fuck? Only very high ranking Chaos ninja can do that!" The shield disappears and Kira gets a scared expression.

"B..b..bb.Boss, what are you doing here? And why are you with them?"

"I'm with them because I've been at Konoha for a week!"

"But that's impossible! You gave us an order yesterday!"

"Like hell I did, now let's go to that dammed hideout of yours before I rip your head off."

"Yes sir!" Kira says leaping off the tree landing next to Shun.

OooOooOooO

"Boss, they're getting closer!"

"Kira got defeated by them?"

"No, he's with them, and even stranger is that Matsuo-sama is also with them."

"WHAT! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! Did something happen to your eyesight or something?" The only female of the group shakes her head a bit afraid for saying anything. After a while though, she decides to speak up again.

"They are almost here, shall I go and stop them?" She says.

"How far are they?"

"They are about 350 feet away from here."

"Then let's go outside, we'll wait for them here." The five members of the group stand up and walk outside. After about a minute of waiting the group of Kakashi arrives. Goizu and Meizu are both leaning against the same tree, the leader is sitting on a branch of that tree and the other two are just standing a few feet from the tree. All of them are looking at the people walking towards them.

"Hello, let me congratulate you guys on reaching this place without getting killed." The leader says.

"Well, that's because of him here." Kakashi says pointing at Shun.

"Yes, I know he's with you, what I don't know is why he is with you."

"I'm with them because you guys are being used by my brother. You've been taking orders from him since I left a week ago for political business." Shun explains.

"And how are you going to prove that?"

"Ask me anything only the leader of the Chaos Village would know!"

"Sure, if you are Matsuo Shun, what secret technique did you finish developing two weeks ago?"

"That would be the 'Blood Spikes of Chaos', it is a great defense against taijutsu, the spikes are made out my own blood and then grow out of my skin, that makes it painful to attack me in close combat. I can also fire these spikes in any direction I want to, killing most hit targets instantly. Is that enough information?" Shun says.

"Yes, that'll do, but now please do explain what is going on sir." Shun starts explaining what is going on and a few minutes later he is done.

"So, we're going to kill your brother for this treachery?" The leader says hopeful.

"Yes, we are going to use these guys for help, we'll have them disguise as commoners so they won't attract attention, then we wait until night and then attack his house."

"What about the puppets? Am I going to get them back?" Kankurou asks quickly afraid they would forget otherwise.

"You will dress as some commoner dragging that cart into the village, when we will attack his house you can then pull out the puppets to help in the attack." Shun says.

"How do you know I'm a puppeteer?"

"You are not just any puppeteer, you are the Legendary Puppet Master Kankurou, brother of Sabaku no Gaara. Or am I wrong about all that?"

"No, you are right about it, didn't know my name was known in other villages too."

"You didn't? You and your siblings are about just as famous as the legendary sannin of Konoha."

"Whatever, let's get on with the plan." Kankurou says.

A few hours later, every Konoha ninja is disguised as a commoner and they are headed for the Hidden Village of Chaos. The big group has split up into smaller groups. The Shadows of Chaos escorting their leader, Kankurou and Kakashi are salesmen with a cart full of goods, Asuma and Kurenai are acting like a married couple on vacation and Kiba and Neji are acting as two friends that originally live in Chaos Village.

OooOooOooO

"So Kankurou, we are in the village now, what are we going to do until it's night?"

"Act like salesmen of course, we'll just use some summoning scrolls to summon weapons and we'll sell those." Kakashi looks at Kankurou with his eyebrow raised.

"And how do you want to acquire those summoning scrolls?" He asks.

"Simple, I stashed some in Karasu when we were at that hideout." Kankurou crawls under the covers that are over the four puppets and he gets the summoning scrolls. They set up a table, Kankurou summons a lot of weapons and puts them on it. After and hour of selling weapons Kiba and Neji walk past them.

"Well, they take up on their role very well." Kiba says.

"Yeah, let's go buy something from them, that'll be fun." Kiba's jaw hits the floor.

"Did you just say something will be fun? It must be snowing in hell!"

"You're so funny, Kiba. I have a hard time stopping laughing." Neji says sarcastically.

After another few hours it starts to become dark. Everyone starts going towards the house.

"Boss, are you sure we should kill him? It is your brother." The leader of the personal guard says.

"Yes Red, I'm sure about it, pretending to be me and giving orders that could be harmful to the relationships with other countries is punishable by death."

"Yes sir." 'Let's get this party started.' Red thinks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: First thing: Red is not his real name, it's his codename on missions, every member of the group has a color as a codename. Next: I would like to thank everyone who commented on my story, I liked the 'Don't let Kakashi die' comments, that was actually funny. Also, this chapter took like three days to write, but I had loads of things to do like repairing a pc and some other stuff.

In the Shadows of Chaos I have names and descriptions ready for 5 of the 6 members, I have no idea of what to do with the sixth member. If any of you would like you can make up a character. You can make him or her any way you want, the character just can't be stronger than the leader. Any bloodlines are allowed since it could be a missing-nin except for the Hyuuga and Uchiha bloodlines. Hope somebody will try this out.

Here are some answers to questions asked in the reviews.

Jigoku Hoshi: the main characters are the members of the Shadows of Chaos. Only three of them are known so far. The other three will be revealed later on, though I have no idea what to make one of them, lol.

The young and misterious nobody: He's not the captain because he doesn't have a higher rank than the rest of the team but he's definitely the leader because the others fear/respect him in some ways. And I tried making this chapter longer, Succeeded in it too.

got-ramen: Yeah, you'd almost think she's psychic, lol, anyway, you'll find out who he is later on.

angel: here you go, new chapter for you guys.

Meinos877: funny way of reviewing, made me laugh. Happy you like it.
