Chapter 5

The Departure

A/N so I only got two of the three reviews but the way I look at it is that I at least got something. However I would really appreciate if some of you would click the little button at the end of the chapter and then type a few little words. So yah, and thanks to those two who did review. Wow that was a long note.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…..damn…………..

After gathering the weapons they were going to use the group headed out of the village. With their chakra down to a minimum they raced over roof tops and villagers the Anbu quickly made their way to the village wall. They made their way over the wall and out of the village without any problems. The group starting to speed up until they reached the forest. Temari quickly halted on a branch as they reached the forest, the others stopped on the same branch and glanced back over at their village. The leaf Anbu silently nodded their heads at the village before turning their attention towards Karma.

Karma watched silently as the leaf bid farewell to their village. They have a fierce loyalty to their village and would do anything for it. To think I once thought the same of this village, and a part of me may still. He frowned slightly as he looked at the mighty village. The appearance was a deadly beauty, or a sleeping beast. The Leaf has not ravage by a war in a few years and that could be viewed by their appearance. The merchants were trickling into the village with their one of kind artifacts. His gaze left the village and shot to the ones that were going to help his village. "It took us a day to reach your village, but we ran to our max and beyond. However we are going to travel a little bit slower than what it took us to reach here. This is due to the fact that there is an army waiting for us at our destination so I suggest that you all conserve as much chakra as you can. We are going to reach sand in a day and a half." Karma finished what he was saying and waited for any questions.

"How bad was it when you left?" This came from the owl anbu concern was in his voice. Temari realized that the owl shot the question at her waiting for her to answer. It seems Shikamaru hasn't changed a whole hell of a lot.Then she remembered he had visited sand many times and most likely had some personal ties to sand.

"It's bad off, most of the dead were our nins, we didn't expect them to attack and were caught off guard." Temari kept her eyes focused on the owl anbu as she said that.

"I thinks it is time we be going any of the other questions can be asked when we set up camp for the night." The fox anbu took off into the forest heading towards his village he was closely followed by the other sand anbu and the leaf.

The fox leapt from tree to tree as his partner quickly caught up to him. Temari noticed how determined he had become and decided not to tell him to slow down a little bit. The Leaf would regain most of the energy that they lost today when they set up camp. However Temari knew that she didn't have endless chakra and took out a soldier pill and popped it into her mouth. This would help her regain some of the chakra she wasted earlier. She hoped her partner was paying any attention to what she was doing. However her hopes were killed when her partners voice cut over the silent radio.

"Are you okay?" A semi concerned voice asked in her ear.

"Fine, don't worry about me," The last part was emphasized as a message to drop the subject.

Karma didn't push the subject knowing that it would gain the leaf nins attention and then they might want to stop. His village couldn't afford it and if Temari was in any serious trouble she would have let him know. So his thoughts went back to where they were going to set up camp. He had an idea of a general area that they were going to set up camp, but he had to make sure the area was still safe. So he had started to speed up in hopes that the others wouldn't and he would eventual leave them behind and Temari would lead them to the area of the camp. He wanted to search the area and be sure that they wouldn't be surprised during the middle of the night. So he speed up again trusting that Temari would get the idea that he wanted to check the area. He noticed that she didn't speed up when he did but the rest of the nins did. "I ordered you to conserve your energy." His voice was stern when it sounded over the radio.

"The leader should set an example for the rest of the pack." Replied the Dog masked Anbu.

"The pack should follow the leaders orders." The Hawk stated to the Dog Anbu.

Karma realized that at least some of the leaf nins knew what he was doing and they weren't having a real big problem with it. So he speed up more and soon left their immediate area.

A/N so there you all go I want two more reviews the sooner I get these two reviews the sooner I update.
