Chapter 11: A New Country
"Who the hell are you?!" Ino-Hinata asked. Temari raised an eyebrow "I thought you were the nice one, with your appearance and all."
Hinata-Sakura rolled her eyes "You don't know how right you are, but really now. Who are you?"
"Sabaku no Temari. What about you four?"
"Name?... Body or mind?" Tenten-Ino asked them. "Body." They answered. Temari just watched them in confusion.
"Tenten." "Hyuuga Hinata." "Yamanaka Ino." "Haruno Sakura."
"Guess Tsunade-sama was right, I would meet four other kunoichi going to the same destination. She give you necklaces too?"
Sakura-Tenten nodded "What's your symbol?"
"A gray tornado. But whenever I use my wind attacks it somehow becomes weaker and the necklace glows. So, it looks like I have to travel with you girls."
Tenten-Ino glared at her "You say that like its a bad thing."
"Four of you almost lost to one opponent. If that isn't weak, what is?"
"Our fault every time we went near him it was like we were roasting in an oven? You were too far away to feel the heat. Its like the guy is a flame himself!" Ino-Hinata explained.
Sakura-Tenten frowned "How come I didn't feel hot?"
Temari shrugged "Maybe its because, oh I don't know, you somehow also survived the fireball he threw at you?" She said in a bad tone.
Sakura-Tenten crossed her arms "What is your problem? If you don't want to travel with us, be our guest. Go alone. It'll save all of us the trouble."
"I'll be glad to." Then Temari was about to set off when Tsunade appeared in front of them "Where do you think you're going?" Temari quickly backed up. Tsunade pinched the bride of her nose and let out a sigh "I told you that if you find them, go with them."
"They don't want me, I don't want them. It'll save the trouble it'll cause."
"Too bad. You five are going together or the whole journey you sent out on will be a waste. You four won't be able to go back to your normal bodies and you, Temari, won't be able to get the herb for your brother."
They all fell silent "Then its best you get going, I'll meet you there." Then she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Damn it." Temari muttered. Tenten-Ino rolled her eyes "Suck it up Temari, we're gonna travel whether you want to or not."
"What sucks is that she left us." Hinata-Sakura said "I think she wants us to... bond."
They all scoffed, Hinata-Sakura sighed Its like before the potion incident all over again. But plus one member.
"So you aren't in your normal bodies?"
Sakura-Tenten nodded "No, we switched, what about you?"
"My brother, Kankuro, somehow got poisoned. We found out what the poison was, but the main ingredient of the antidote was thought to have been extinct. But Tsunade-sama promised that the place where we're heading still has the herb."
They nodded "Who do you think that guy was that attacked us? Obviously he likes to play with fire. And his forehead protector's symbol is the same as your necklace. A flame." Tenten-Ino said pointing to Sakura-Tenten's necklace.
She nodded "Yeah, guess we're both fire... related. But what do you think he meant by saviors? That is a pretty big title."
Hinata-Sakura agreed "Yeah, sounds kinda high ranked. But it looks like the guy doesn't like the idea of us learning why we're saviors. So many unanswered questions. The place we're heading to hopefully has the answers."
Somewhere High Above...
"You almost got your ass kicked by a few girls!" The immature girl said, laughing hard.
The one who fought the kunoichies growled "Shut up."
She pouted "Everyone's saying that to me now."
He rolled his eyes "Its because you won't shut up. If you did they would stop saying it. Use your brain, oh! I forgot you don't have one." She stuck her tongue out at him "Meanie."
The other male rubbed his temples "You two are so immature. But anyway, Madoto. How was the fight?"
Madoto scowled "The earth one can already transform plants, the fire one can already resist heat, and the wind obviously has practiced her element. I'm not sure of the others."
"How old are they?" The other female asked. Madoto shrugged "Around thirteen."
Now the girl laughed even harder "You got beat by thirteen year olds-" but the quiet male covered her mouth "Silence Jalen." He said in monotone. Jalen just removed his hand "Fine."
Madoto smirked "How come you only listen to him?"
Jalen rolled her eyes "Because 'silence' sounds better than 'shut up'. Common sense, oh! I forgot you don't have any."
They glared at each other.
The quiet male sighed "So childish."
The female nodded "Hard to believe they aren't five."
The kind male just smiled "But we wouldn't have it any other way."
Between the Borders of the Land of Wind and Earth...
"Good to see you made it here without killing each other." Tsunade said. They all scowled, Tsunade sweat dropped I suppose they were close to doing so.
"But now its time to head to a... new land."
"New land?" They chorused.
"Yes, its called... I'll just tell you when we get there. Now we need to sit in a circle."
They did so, then Tsunade got out a scroll and placed it in the middle. It opened up and divided into five. Each went to the girls.
"Now sign your name, with your blood." She said, they did so. But while they did Tsunade looked away, and silently shivered. "We're done." Temari said. Then the scrolls went back to each other and became one. Then Tsunade did a few hand seals.
There was a sudden gust of wind, then a blinding light appeared covering their surrondings. Another gust of wind, but it came from below them. Then when the light vanished they were in another forest.
It was beautiful... almost magical. You could hear the birds, waterfalls, and other lovely sounds of the forest. The trees were tall, grass was everywhere, it looked like the forests in fairy tales. So peaceful.
But then a large snake appeared and was about to bite Tsunade when she quickly grabbed it and flung it far away.
The girls sweat dropped. So much for a peaceful forest. Then a girl went on Tsunade's back, Tsunade wasn't quick enough to dodge her hug. And with that the girls were shocked, the little girl was too quick for one of the legendary sannin. That doesn't happen everyday.
"Tsunade-baachan!!" The eight year old cried out. She had messy curly brown hair that was right above her shoulders and dark yellow eyes. And she wore a white shirt, with a blue jacket over it, wore dark blue shorts, and blue ninja sandals. The girl wasn't afraid to show off her favorite color that's for sure.
"Ali. Get off me." Tsunade ordered. Ali pouted then got off her back and faced the five girls, then back at Tsunade "Why are they so... young?"
"Why? You wanted them to be in their sixties?"
"No, I just expected them to be... adults."
"Really?" Tsunade asked in disbelief. Ali paused "Not really, but since the others are adults, I thought they would be too. But at least they're close to my age!"
"By about hundreds of years?"
"My normal age! Not real one! Even you aren't close to my real age."
"How old are you?" Ino-Hinata asked, she smiled at them "I'm really 1008. But my normal one is just eight."
Tsunade nodded "She's telling the truth. But it would be better if you meet Melane-sama now, she'll tell you all about it. I need to leave now, and Ali?"
"What is it Tsunade-baachan?"
"Don't use any of your jutsus on them, got it?"
"..."
"Ali."
"... Fine." Ali answered, then Tsunade did another set of hand seals and disappeared in a spark of bright light. Ali faced the five kunoichi. "I'm Hitora Ali! What are your names? And I mean the body ones, cause you'll get back to normal soon."
They introduced themselves, Ali nodded "Lets meet Onee-chan now! She'll answer all of your questions."
"Hey Ali?" Temari asked, Ali turned around "What is it?"
"Where exactly are we?"
Ali smiled "I'm telling the truth kay? We're in the sky."
"What?!" They exclaimed. Ali nodded "This land, is a land above the earth. It's floating in the sky. But save your other questions for Onee-chan. She's been waiting for centuries to meet you."
"But first. What exactly is this land called?" Hinata-Sakura asked. Ali faced them again "Tsunade-baachan didn't tell you?" They shook their heads.
"We are in the Land of Heart."
