The group was instructed to wait outside the main gates. Amari couldn't stop to look at her arms, she felt like something was off the past few days. Miri grabbed Amari's wrist and pulled her arm down. Amari shaked out of her focused state and looked over at Miri.
"Everything's going to be alright. The burns are gone and I'm sure he fixed everything to a perfect state." Miri assured.
"I can't explain it, it just. The memories don't resemble right."
Sean was on the ground with his legs crossed. He looked up. "Of course you don't, your brainwaves showed you were dreaming intensely. Inside the deep sleep region, what you experienced was probably a scene to get yourself to accept what happened in the real world."
"What does that mean?" Miri stepped brushed Amari to the side and walked up to Sean.
Sean sighed. "Weren't you listening at all? Because Amari was feeling an intense change to her body, her mind shaped a reality to explain what was going on."
"He's saying that my mind shaped a fake reality to cope with what I felt but couldn't see." Amari further explained.
"What a drag right? The fact that our minds refuse the truth and create some false reality."
The group turned their heads back to the gate. Shikamaru stood that the gate, he leaned on his back foot like normal, one arm in his pocket and his other held onto three pieces of cloth. Sean got up to his feet and walked over with the others to him.
"So what's the dealio my amilio?"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Shikamaru sighed heavily. "Anyways. I don't know the mission but all I was told was run out a mile before you open the scroll." The hand in his pocket pulled out a small scroll with a seal on it. "Requires a drop of blood from each of you to unlock and needs to be a mile away from the village to open."
"Why the secrecy? Is this even okay?" Amari asked.
"I understand that it's a drag for all this silence but trust me. We're looking out for everyone in the village. I have ideas but some people here can't ignore it if it comes out. We'll discuss it after the mission."
Sean grabbed the scroll. "You better set up a meeting with the Hokage for when we get back. I don't like silence, last time we were put in the dark we got chained for two years."
Shikamaru lifted up his arm and opened his hand to the group. "We welcome you to join the village." he had three leaf headbands. "You're equals here, a member of the leaf shinobi."
Sean pulled a needle from his strap and stabbed his shoulder. He pulled off his headband, he kept his kekkei genkai eye closed. He grabbed one of the headbands, he lifted each one in different heights and shrugged. "I guess we'll take it. Help out the Hokage."
"Whatever, you take it or don't either way." Shikamaru handed out the other two.
Sean shoved his in his inner sweatshirt pocket. Miri hopped next to Sean and shoved her headband in his pocket. "Girl like me doesn't have pockets." She stretched up to his ear. "The only pocket I have isn't stretched out enough to fit it in there."
Sean disgustedly sighed and pushed Miri away. Amari giggled, she pulled open her vest and shoved her own headband in there. Amari wrapped her head band around her forehead. She looked at her partners that wore theirs in their own style. Miri waved her hips that had the band around her waist that held the front and back of her dress. And Sean had his over his special eye.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes and turned back to the village. "Just get the mission completed."
"Let's go." Sean nodded at his group.
The group went out from the village to what they thought was a mile. They each bit their thumbs and placed the blood dots on the scroll's seal. The Seal burned away and unraveled the inside. Sasuke and Orochimaru was possibly found on a few clicks away from the village. With the members of Team 7 out of the way, interference should be minimum for the crew. It was a weird coincidence and unusual mention of another team but a death of an Anbu member changes things.
They raced to the objective, the area described was a small plains with a old and forgotten hut in the middle of it. The team surrounded as a triangle around the small open land. They saw Sasuke wait outside the cabin. He leaned back on the cabin wall and exposed a barrier around the cabin.
"We have Sasuke, but it's easily seen as a trap." Sean radioed.
"But no signs of him, possibly inside the cabin." Miri radioed in.
"Why would he just leave Sasuke outside? If this is one of his hideouts, wouldn't he be planning to make Sasuke stronger?" Amari radioed after.
"Whatever is Orochimaru's plan is, Sasuke is the bait either way. Just wait for my signal, I'm moving in." Sean jumped from the tree and landed in the plains.
Sasuke looked up, with one hand he grabbed the hilt of his sword and walked over to Sean. "Orochimaru was right. Bringing in you was easy."
"Where is he? He in that cabin?"
"He isn't here right now, he doesn't need to be apart of this."
"Then what's the plan? Why kill a Anbu member if your plan was just to lure us in? You could've just gotten us personally. The chance to kick your silly ass." Sean bent in his pinky. "Is always welcome."
Sasuke's eyes went to the Sharingan and looked up. He jumped away from the two kunai that landed by his feet and exploded moments after. Sean jumped through the smoke with his sword drawn. Sasuke was ready for it and blocked the strike with his own sword. The blade caught electricity that ran down his sword and to Sean's. Sean lost his momentum and fell back to the ground. Amari jumped off of Sean with his fist ready. Sasuke transported behind Amari with a hand sign ready.
"Fire style, fireball jutsu."
Miri was in the air next to Amari and grabbed her arm. "Secret style, spirit body extension." Miri pulled down on Amari and narrowly dodged the attack.
"You can't hide from the Sharingan." Sasuke looked down with another jutsu ready. He blew tiny fireballs around the area.
Sean pulled out the four of his sword and tossed them in the area of the attack. "Fingertip whip." Four stands of the wind circulated around his fingertips for him to lash out around the swords. The wind strikes struck the swords and the fireballs. Sasuke landed right after the blocked attack.
"Let's make this fun for us." Sean pulled out another needle and stabbed his neck. He moved his headband to the other eye. "Stage two." The zig zag pattern in his eye opened up in the center and surrounded a hollow circle in the middle of his eye.
Sasuke's curse mark grew from the side of his neck to surround his face. Sean pulled back his fingers and pulled in all four of his swords. The end of his sword connected into one, shuriken style sword. Amari created a shockwave with her fists after Sasuke. He didn't turn around to look at the attack, he stabbed his sword on the ground and split the wave in half.
Sasuke looked down and wiggled his legs against the zombie arms around them. He shrugged off the move. He grabbed his wrist and created a ball of electricity in his hand. He lowered the ball to the ground and ran the attack through the ground. Sean circled his arm around and tossed his sword shuriken at Sasuke. He ran towards the right parallel with his sword attack.
"Wind hand cannon!" He held in the large ball of energy and didn't release it. He came up next to Sasuke and hurled his attack over at Sasuke.
