A/N: Yes, if you didn't notice, Tayuya is absent in this arc, however her absence is explained and will play a very important part later on in the story. Well enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 66: Enter the Sound 5

The group of 5, were about to leave, while Nami gave them instructions about when they should be back.

"You guys better get here by sun set or you'll know what I'll do." Said Nami.

Naruto and Luffy nodded in fear, Zoro growled under his breath and Sasuke just stared at Nami.

And so they left to search for the scroll within the island's forest while the rest of the crew decided to help the town's people.

"So Anko… do you know who we'll be facing?" asked Naruto.

"Probably the Sound 5." Said Anko.

"The Sound 5?" asked Luffy.

"Yes, Orochimaru top agents: A guy who can control his bones, a two headed freak, a fat man, a red headed bitch that swears more than a pirate and a sailor combined and Spider Man." Said Anko.

"You never bothered learning their names did you?" asked Sasuke.

"Nope, not at all." Said Anko shaking her head.

This made everyone sweat drop.

"Either way, the mayor told me that they managed to get the information on where the scroll is sealed, by threatening to the kill everyone in town but himself." Said Anko.

"That's horrible…" muttered Naruto.

"I know, any was the scroll is in a cave in the middle of the island. All we have to do is use this map, go get it and keep it safe from Sound." Said Anko.

"All right! That sounds like fun!" cheered Luffy.

"Just ignore him." Said Sasuke shaking his head.

"Either way." Said Anko taking out the map, "He didn't give them the map to the cave, I'm still they're still searching for the cave.

That's when the 4 people who were watching them jumped out of the trees and surrounded the group.

"Mitarashi Anko… it's been a long time." Said one of the men who hat long white hair.

"Well it has..." said Anko with a smirk.

"You still don't know our names, do you?" asked the fat one.

"Nope…" said Anko shaking her head.

"We minds as well introduce ourselves because of your little friends." Said one of them who was the one with the things coming out his shoulders which turned out to be two extra pairs of arms, he also had spiky hair and wore a bandana around his forehead.

"Cool! You have extra arms." Said Luffy.

"Are they real?" asked Naruto.

"They're the enemy you idiots!" yelled Anko.

"Either way, the name's Kidomaru." Said the one with the extra pairs of arms.

"Jirobo." Said the fat one.

"Sakon." Said the one with something protruding from the back of his neck, which turned out to be an extra head, , had light purple hair that covered his right eye and wore a set of beads and what looked to be blue lip stick.

And I'm Kimimaro, the leader." Said the one with white hair.

"Where the red haired bitch?" asked Anko.

"Oh Tayuya… she's on a very special long term mission." Said Kimimaro, "I would have gladly gone, however a woman was needed."

"That's good to know…" said Anko, "Hey Naruto can you do that transformation thing with many clones."

"Yeah… why?" asked Naruto.

"We need a diversion right now while we come up with a plan." Said Anko, "As much I'd love to right now… we just can't fight them."

"Why?" asked Naruto, Luffy and Zoro.

"You're kidding right!" yelled Anko.

"So who's going have the first honors?" asked Kidomaru.

"Naruto if you don't do it… then I'm going to do to you what I did to the marines." Said Anko.

Naruto paled and Naruto nodded… Naruto summoned many clones.

"One of them is clone user!" said Jirobo.

"That's not all." Said Naruto with a smirk as most of the clones transformed into Luffy, Zoro, Sasuke or Anko.

Anko took out a large smoke bomb.

"Damn it…" muttered Sakon.

When the smoke the Sound 5… or Sound 4 due to the missing member saw various groups running away.

"So that's an interesting division." Said Kidomaru, "But they have no idea what I was I did."

The other 3 nodded as they tried to figure with which group was real.

Elsewhere in the forest the real group left.

"Why did we have to retreat!" yelled Naruto.

"Look, right now we have to plan out something. I've fought them so many times before that they know my moves." Said Anko.

"You mean using snake clones and attack their lower regions?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop.

Anko glared at Naruto who decided to hide behind Luffy.

"Okay the plan is that me and three of you fight them while the last one goes into the cave an gets the scroll." Said Anko.

"Why are you fighting?" asked Luffy.

"It will throw them off a bit." Said Anko.

"How much will that be?" asked Sasuke.

"Either way…" said Anko, "It's pretty dangerous, then again I heard about you two bounties, so it won't be that much a problem."

"I'll volunteer to go get the scroll." Said Sasuke, "Only because I'm the only who can."

"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Naruto.

"I'm the only one out of the 4 of us who has a sense of direction, you three will get lost easily." Said Sasuke.

All three of them glared at Sasuke… even though it was a true he was right.

":Okay… there's the plan…" said Anko.

What they didn't know was that the Sound 4 had managed to fight them quickly, as Kidomaru had placed a small spider on Sasuke that was shooting a small almost invisible thread.

"So… that's their plan… sounds like nothing." Said Sakon.

"It's a good thing that he's the one I'm already following." Said Kidomaru with a smirk.

"We have to come up with a plan that trumps their plan, after all Anko isn't known for her strategy." Said Kimimaro.

Back with Anko, Zoro, Sasuke, Naruto and Luffy.

"Okay… we'll slip into two group then those two groups, Naruto and Luffy and me and Zoro." Said Anko.

"Why do I have to be with you." Muttered Zoro.

"Because, we need a clone user in each group… and I take it you're not a clone user are you." Said Anko with a death glare that would problem kill Zoro if she had that power.

Anko muttered under her breath and took out Dango from her jacket to help cheer her up, "We need a clone user for when we split up again... I won't go into details but it's when we need to meet up again." Said Anko, "Any questions?"

"You're not a very good strategist." Said Sasuke staring at her.

Anko glared at Sasuke, "I know that, but it's usually my style to beat up the guys, either kill them or disable them in some way, then run like the wind…" said Anko, "So you got a problem with that?"

Sasuke sweat dropped, "No…" he said

"Then good." Said Anko.

And so the group spilt up, Sasuke was given the map to the cave while Zoro and Anko left together as did Naruto and Luffy.

"So Zoro was it." Said Anko making conversation.

"What?" asked Zoro.

"Your that guy Sanji told me about, right… the one that fought Mihawk and lived?" asked Anko with a smirk.

"Yeah… so…" said Zoro.

"Just asking." Said Anko with a smirk.

Zoro glared at Anko, "I think it's time to split up again." He said.

"Fine with me." Said Anko.

And so the two split up, unaware of the two figures watching them.

Meanwhile with Naruto and Luffy.

Naruto sighed, "Anko scares me." Said Naruto.

"I know…" said Luffy with a small laugh, "She scares me a little too."

"Kit do you feel that?" asked Kyubi.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"There's someone there…" said Kyubi.

That's when several weapons came out of the nearby bushes. Startling the two brothers.

"Okay who threw them!" yelled Naruto.

"You really think you can fight us?" came Sakon's voice form nowhere.

"Looks like our two guys are fighting together." Said Naruto with a smirk.

"This is going to be fun." Said Luff with a grin.

Meanwhile with Sasuke he found the cave where the map told him.

"So this looks like the place." Said Sasuke.

He looked around and went in… still unaware of the spider on him… that would lead any of member of the Sound 4 to… but that didn't matter, because they were going to fight the Straw Hats… right?

Next Time: Luffy and Naruto have their hands full as they discover Sakon's strange ability, and quickly discover that Sasuke might be in trouble than they thought. What is Sakon's strange acidly and just is it with that extra head? Find out next time!
