Reflection of a Dragon

Chapter 2: The Crimson Tears

Naruto and the team were doing a mission. They had to go find a cat for a little girl. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura spread out and hid behind trees to sneak up on the cat. They communicated each other with a micro chip. The cat was staring at a butterfly. Naruto set forward and tried to catch the cat with a sack made of rags. Sasuke and Sakura went after Naruto. Naruto caught the cat in the bag. He opened the bag and something leaped out of the bag.

Naruto was yelling so loud "Aaahhhhh!"

The cat was scratching his face.

Sasuke and Sakura were staring at Naruto and they said at the same time "Mission Complete!"

Kakashi appeared and congratulated the team for catching the cat, "Good job! I'll take the cat back to it's owner." he vanished and the cat disappeared from Naruto's face.

Naruto had scratches all over his face. He was breathing heavily like he nearly died. "Thank you Kakashi Sensei. Well let's go back to the village."

They took off, heading back to the village, the hidden leaf village. As they walked they heard a man yell in pain. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked at each other for a moment and nodded. They quickly ran to where the yelling came from. As they were running quickly, a person was standing next to the man, the mysterious person sensed people coming and vanished. The team arrived and saw something that made them shiver. Naruto looked down at his feet and saw something red like liquid and looked up ahead of him. A man was lying on the ground with blood splashed everywhere. Naruto and Sakura were shivering, but Sasuke wasn't shivering at all. Sasuke was just shock at this sight.

Naruto, still shivering, and stuttering "W... What h…happened h… here?"

Sakura was doing the same thing as Naruto "I… I d… don't k… know."

Naruto said "W… Well w… we g… got t… to d… do s… something. S… Should w… we t… tell O… Old M… Man H… Hokage"

They didn't know what to do, they couldn't think well. Their mind was all scrambled up. The team walked back to the village, Naruto and Sakura still shivering at the man's dead body. As they walked back to the village the sun hid behind a dark cloud. Later, drops of water fell from the sky, and then the rain started pouring really hard. When they arrived at the village, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke went their separate ways back to their house to sleep.

The next day, Naruto woke up from his sleep. When he woke up he remembered the day before. He heard people talking outside. Someone said "Did this happen over night?"

Another person said "We should tell Hokage-sama about this."

Now so many people were talking Naruto couldn't tell what they were saying. He was curious of what they were talking about and what's so surprising down there so Naruto brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and decided to eat breakfast at Ichiraku. Naruto rushed out the door and closed the door by kicking it. He ran to where the crowd was at, talking about something.

Naruto pushed some people and said "Can… I… Get… Through…?" and someone pushed Naruto into the center.

Naruto shivered again. He felt his heart race. Right in front of him was another dead body. There was blood splattered on the ground. He got up to his feet and left the crowd of people. As he walked away he took a glance behind him and walked away in fear.

Naruto wondered What is going on here? As he was walking, he was looking down and nearly ran into someone. Naruto looked up to see who was in front of him. It was Sakura in front of him.

"Hey Sakura," Naruto said in a low voice, "There was another one."

Sakura didn't really no what Naruto meant by "another one". She questioned him "What do you mean by that."

Naruto replied in the same low voice "There was another kill."

Sakura looked at the ground with a sad face. Naruto completely changed the subject, "Sakura, do you want to go to Ichiraku with me?"

Sakura replied with a half smile "Okay... Sure. Lets bring Sasuke.

Naruto nodded and said "Lets go find him."
