…Gomenasai for taking so long to update, I don't own Naruto and I hope you'll enjoy this chapter…

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'll have beef flavoured ramen," ordered Shadow when he entered a ramen shop (not sure about the name). He took a seat and took out the money he earned, 'I wonder if people will pay me more if I did something better that. Maybe I should use…nah, too risky, well, at least I've got good reasons…' he continued to think about how he'll get more money the next time he puts on a show.

"Here's your order," a bowl of ramen was put in front of him, "That'll be five dollars and fifty cents!"

'Five dollars left…how am I gonna survive on that?' he thought as he ate his ramen. 'Hm, this stuff's actually pretty good…'

'Really? There are lots of other things that you haven't tried…And there's that annoying general again,' Kyuubi growled.

'Is it me or is he following us?' Slurp.

'Probably because of you, why don't we kill him on the spot? It'll easier for us to go around here and there without being discovered by that idiot.'

'(Slurp) If I kill him now, the whole military will be here. Probably gonna destroy everything here or something… (Slurp)' he finished off the rest of the ramen and stood up.

'But I guess I could show him that he isn't feared by everyone…' he left the ramen shop and out into the crowd that was in front of the shops, making a path for a man on a horse, the general (1). There were some soldiers by him and three shinobi were there as well, all three of them looked like they'd rather be somewhere else.

'Hm, how am I gonna do this…?' he stepped out of the crowd and stood in the middle of the path with his hands in his pockets, staring at the general.

"…" the general stopped in front of him along with everyone else that was following him.

"Would you so kindly get out of the way? I'm kind of in a rush right now," said the general with a smile, but from the tone of his voice, it's clear that he's annoyed and getting impatient.

"…" Shadow continued to glare at him; making the general more agitated each second.

"Hey gaki, when the general tells you to do something, you do what he says," said one of the shinobi which Shadow identified as Anko. '…what to say…'

"…make me…" he growled (well…he didn't really growl) under his breath, making some of the soldiers tense up.

"Get out of the way kid or else…" veins were popping at the back of the general's head; one of the three shinobi (which are Anko, Ibiki, and Hayate) would have shoved the kid out of the way, but this'll be interesting…

"Make me, idiot," there were a few gasps from the crowd; nobody ever talked back to a general. 'Man this isn't good…' was what some of the people thought, a few of the soldiers thought that too, when the generals are angry, it could be very dangerous and scary.

"What did you say?" by the looks of it, the general was trying to stay calm, even though millions of veins were popping on the back of his head.

"Don't tell me that you're death as well…" he sighed, "A complete idiot that can't hear, I surprised that you're even a general. Why don't you go back to your nice, warm home, well, actually why don't you go to a retirement home? An old man like you should be retiring right about now-"

"Kid, I'm not in a good mood right now, if you shut up, and get out of my way now, you won't be living in jail for the rest of your little life," his eyebrow was twitching at the insults that the kid through at him.

"I'm doing you a favour, retire now and you won't have to deal with people like me. And you wouldn't have to look for Shadow anymore; by the way, you're just wasting your life by running after him. You'll probably catch him when you're a hundred years old or something," he paused for a moment to think up more insults and to enjoy the look on the general's face.

'You know, this kind of stuff I could get used to. I wonder how the others will react…' he stood there as the general stood there with his face red with anger.

"This is your last time I'll tell you, boy, if you don't get out of my way now I'll-"

"You'll what? Spank me? Or are you gonna tell my parents what a bad little boy I've been? Or are you gonna whack me with that cane you use when nobody's looking? What could an old man like you do to me?" that did it.

"That's it!" he jumped off his horse, "Get out off my way!" he told the soldiers that were around him and stood in front of Shadow and moved his face close to his.

"If you don't move right now, I'll get you out of the way myself, and it's going to be painful," he threatened him.

"You know what? I don't think that you ever hurt a fly before," he calmly told him, which made him even angrier.

"Why you little…" he pulled out a gun and aimed it at Shadow's head. "Apologize, get out of my way and you won't die." Shadow stared at the gun.

"You know that this'll affect your records right? Kill me and you'll get something bad on your record."

"Nobody has to tell anyone that I killed you," his finger started to pull the trigger.

"I doubt that you've ever killed anyone before in your life." (General falls anime style)

"Of course I've killed before!"

"Oh, really? Then why's your hand shaking?" the general growled.

"Shut up!" he said even though his hand was shaking.

"If your hand keeps shaking like that, you'll miss me."

"So what? I don't care…"

"You should care, know why? There's this guy who was somewhere on the other side of the world, he intended to kill someone, but he missed the person and killed someone else…"

"So? What does he have to do with this?"

"The person he killed by accident was a boy," he continued, "Later on, he found out that the boy he killed was the president's son, and do you know what happened to him?"

The general grinded his teeth, 'What's this kid getting at?'

"He lost his position as a soldier, brought shame to his family, tortured and then got his head chopped off. If you try to shoot me now with your hand shaking that much, you'll eventually miss and probably hit some big shot's kid or something. Then you'll end up like that unlucky soldier," the general stood there, his hand shaking, his face had lost colour and he looked like someone who saw a ghost.

'Wow, I never thought that I'll scare that much…he really is an idiot,' he thought.

The general dropped the gun and slide onto the ground, "Shut up…just shut up…" he muttered, Shadow sneered.

"I'd like see you make me, you can't make me do everything you say, you know that? People do what you tell them to do just because they're scared of you, being a general doesn't mean that you get to control everyone." That did it; the general got up and started running away like a little kid.

"W-wait for us!" the soldiers that were there started running after him, the three shinobi stood where they were.

'That kid's got to be the first one to go against a natural; even I wouldn't have done that…' thought Anko, but she was glad that he went against the general; he wouldn't be ordering anyone around in a while. Anko started to walk over towards Shadow.

"Hey, kid! You've got some guts to go against that guy, do you know who he is even?" she said to him once she was standing in front of him.

"Nope, all I know is that he's a total idiot who doesn't keep track of what's going around him," he replied with his hands behind his head. 'I agree, he is an idiot,' Anko thought.

"What do you mean by 'doesn't keep track of what's going around him'?"

"I mean that the whole things a lie. I thought that he'd be able to figure it out, demo he's more of an idiot than I thought…"

"Keep that up. You might scare the naturals out of here," Ibiki came up behind Anko with Hayate beside him. Shadow stared at them.

"Aren't you guys on the naturals side or something? I thought that I was the only one who wasn't on their side…"

"(Cough) Well, we're not exactly on their side. We're doing this by force (cough); we don't want to help them, demo we have to… (Cough)" Hayate spoke up.

"We better get going…one more thing, be careful kid. Because of what you did right now, the military might put you on the wanted list," said Anko, all three of them started to leap on the rooftops after the idiotic general and soldiers.

(Sigh) hopefully this chapter was better than the other one. I'll be updating at least once a month or two because of school…Well, please update…

(1)Just to let you know, the general has blonde, spiky hair (probably the reason why he's so dumb) with a moustache. That's all you have to know about him…
