Chapter 8: DigiBalls
Naruto was handcuffed to the handle bar above the door in the car as Sasuke was on the phone, making a call to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, looks like I've just missed you."
Orochimaru: "You've totally f-ed up big, this time, Uchiha! Once they find out that you've kidnapped the mayor, your face will be on every wanted poster in every law enforcement agency in Japan!"
"Oh, Orochimaru, its best that we should keep this between ourselves. We're building up quite a database at this end."
Orochimaru calmed himself.
Orochimaru: "Alright, what do you want?"
"Easy, give us Sakura, we'll give you Naruto and you'll get the files."
Orochimaru: "Right, tell me where."
"Oh no, Orochimaru, I'm not letting you set up an ambush. I'll tell you in one hour, just get yourself, Sakura and Kiba into a car. And put Sakura in a vest and a helmet."
Orochimaru: "What is this about?"
"I wouldn't want you to stab Sakura in the back, would I?"
Orochimaru: "Fine, and I want the same for the Mayor."
"Now that's just insulting, Orochimaru."
Orochimaru: "That's right, you only take a stab at dead people."
Sasuke looks at one of the payments. "Looks like Jiraiya has paid you a large Christmas Bonus. 200 Grand from the US."
Orochimaru: "Alright, you'll get your one hour."
Orochimaru hangs up.
"Damn, I never get to hang up on him."
Naruto gave an odd look at Sasuke.
The car stopped at the side of the road and Sasuke was making a call while Neji was having a drink and he held up a can of soda in front of Naruto.
"Want a drink, Mr. Mayor?"
Naruto had a pissed off look on his face. "I apologize for the explosive tag thing, but if its any consolation," said Neji. "My house was blown up last night. I lost my home, my job and my car..."
Naruto looked at Neji's face. "Aren't you that funny guy on 'Konoha's Most Wanted' a few years ago?" Naruto asked.
Neji sighed. "Yep...I still got that."
Sasuke finished his call. "Shikamaru has found us a van to use."
Neji walked to Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, you know we're going to die."
"Well, only one person can save us now."
"Who? Sonic the Hedgehog?"
"It's a she." Neji looked clueless. "I mean, Sakura!" said Sasuke.
"Oh!"
Orochimaru, Kiba, Sakura and a group of ANBU Zero agents walked to a black van. Orochimaru's ANBUs entered the back of the van, carrying an arsenal of weapons.
"You got it, Kabuto?" Kabuto walked to Orochimaru with a grenade launcher. "Good." Kabuto entered the back van with the ANBUs.
Orochimaru was at the wheel, next to Sakura and Kiba. The ANBUs were at the back of the van.
"What does he see in you?" Kiba asked Sakura.
"I'd show you at the back," said Sakura, as she looked at the back of the van where the ANBUs were sitting. "But there doesn't seem to be enough room."
Orochimaru's phone rings and he answers it. "What?"
Sasuke: "What are you driving, Orochimaru?"
"A black van."
Sasuke: "Get yourself to the beach..."
Orochimaru started up the van as the ANBUs closed the curtains to conceal themselves, hiding the back of the van.
Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru and Naruto were in a van.
"Well?" Sasuke asked.
Neji looked around. "Nope, no sign of an ambush." The beach is totally deserted.
Orochimaru was driving the black van along the road to the beach, then Orochimaru receives another phone call.
"What now?" asked Orochimaru.
Sasuke: "Make a left turn near the entrance to Fujiyama beach."
Sasuke hangs up. "They're coming."
Neji looked at Shikamaru. "There's still time to run like f-k, Shikamaru."
"Yeah, but what about the very stringy yo-yo?" asked Shikamaru.
Sasuke sees the black van and calls Orochimaru. "Hey, Orochimaru, what's in the van?"
"Just the three of us," replied Orochimaru on the phone.
"That's far enough," said Sasuke.
Orochimaru stopped the van, then, he picks up the phone. "Now what?" asked Orochimaru.
"Easy, set them up and send them over," said Sasuke.
"Right, we'll be ready in a minute." Orochimaru hangs up. "Alright, boys."
The ANBUs prepared their weapons. Kabuto received a phone call from Orochimaru on his cell phone.
"As soon as we get the Mayor, give them everything you got!" ordered Orochimaru.
"Yes, Mr. Metal-Greymon!" said Sakura sarcastically as Kiba puts the flak jacket and helmet on Sakura.
"I thought you would have stopped this nonsense by now," said Orochimaru. "Because in 90 seconds, you and your boyfriend will be blown to pieces, and in 20 minutes, you'll be nothing but chalk outlines on the road, and in 30 minutes, I'll be back at the office archiving this whole sorry f-ing episode..."
"And in 40 minutes, blowing the Mayor's nine year corruption spree?" said Sakura. "Hey, what do I care? I'm nothing but a chalk outline."
"Any last words?" asked Kiba.
"Yes, Kiba," said Sakura. "DigiBalls."
Confused, Kiba took some tape and gagged Sakura.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and Neji were putting an old Chunin vest on Naruto.
"In spite of everything that has happened today, Mr. Mayor," said Sasuke "You've still got my vote, and my family's vote."
Naruto glared at Sasuke. "Fuck you," replied Naruto.
Sasuke looks at the lens of a video camera, held by Shikamaru. "Did you get that?"
Shikamaru had a grin. "Yep."
The two sides were ready to switch hostages.
"Goodbye, Uchiha." Naruto prepared to walk.
The hostage exchange was taking place. As Sakura got closer to Naruto, she noticed a letter and a number on Naruto's vest, 'T6'. At that moment, Sakura got behind Naruto and took out a Kunai off the back of Naruto's vest and placed the kunai right under Naruto's neck.
"Oh, shit, no," cursed Orochimaru and Kiba was about to pull put a shuriken...
"You didn't think I would fall for your ambush, Orochimaru?" said Sasuke on the phone. "After all, I was an agent of the ANBU Zero. Tell Kiba not to move his arm. Neji is a much better shot than Shikamaru."
Orochimaru and Kiba saw Neji holding the rapid-fire crossbow...
"Alright, I surrender!" Kiba yelled out, dropping his weapon.
"Orochimaru, how many ANBUs are there in the van? 10?"
"12," answered Orochimaru.
"Tell the 12 ANBUs to drop their weapons."
"Drop them!" ordered Orochimaru and in the van, lot of kunais, shurikens and swords were dropped onto floor in the back of the van.
"And I'm pretty sure that there is a grenade launcher of some sort in there," said Sasuke.
Orochimaru sighed. "Kabuto!"
A loud metallic thud was heard.
"And could you go to the van's doors and lock it of you could." Orochimaru walked to the van and locked the doors. Sasuke looked behind at Shikamaru. "Mr. Shikamaru, did you do what I told you to do?"
Shikamaru finished his phone call on his cell phone. "Yep."
"What did he do?" asked Orochimaru.
"He called the proper authorities," said Sasuke.
Orochimaru, Naruto and Orochimaru's corrupt ANBUs were arrested by the authorities as officers were taking down statements.
Sasuke walked to Sakura. "Sakura-chan, I think we could rate this as a 'we were totally wrong'."
Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, Kiba D9."
Sasuke grinned. He walks to Kiba, who was being questioned by the detectives.
"Oh no!" screamed Kiba, bracing for a punch, only for Sasuke to slap Kiba in the face and then kicked him in the groin. "How about having some DigiBalls, Kiba?!" asked Sasuke, pointing at Sakura.
Kiba looked up and sees Sakura waving.
Sasuke, Sakura, Neji and Shikamaru were walking away from the beach as the authorities were leaving using helicopters, police cars and vans. After walking for a few steps, Neji stopped and said, "Hey, are we really walking all the way back to Konoha?"
Sasuke looked back. "Come to think of it...it did take half an hour to get here by van."
"Oh yeah, I've got to return the van," said Shikamaru.
"Why weren't we on that helicopter?" asked Sakura.
"At least it was a job well done," said Neji.
The four walked back to the police scene as they laughed.
