"So… this is the secret to a perfect world. A cave." Naruto commented.
"It's the riddle. We need to learn what it means. Hasuko has no idea what it means, so we're in trouble." Sakura replied.
"It's up to me and Sakura to decipher the poem. No offence, but Naruto isn't the brightest ninja, and Sudaru isn't going to help much." Jurosu added.
Sakura blushed as Naruto said with a hint of spite "By the way, what's with the 3 team leaders?"
"Oh" said Jurosu. "Team 76 is a little odd. You see, Hasuko, Sudaru and I were originally on 3 different teams. We all had a bit of an incident, and only we were able to keep fighting on our teams. Tsunade got us all, and turned us into a new team.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know about the others, but I was in a mission to retrieve some scroll from the sound. The Third had an idea something might be going down with the Sand Village, so he sent us to try and find plans. Turns out we were too late go figure out the alliance with them and the Sound. Anyway, my teammates were killed by some creepy dude who crushed them with sand. Some guy with a gourd on his back."
"Gaara" Sakura whispered.
"Yeah, something like that. Anyway, I was able to get away by finding a cellar underground used for who knows what."
"So you left your team!" Naruto raged. "You ran away from him while your team needed you! How did you find out about the cellar? Why did you say Sudaru useless earlier? What happened?"
"I'm not proud of it! It was an impulse! How I found the cellar is none of your business and I have no idea what happened to Sudaru!!!!" Jurosu snapped back.
Suddenly, Hasuko stepped in. "I feel it would be better if you didn't fight. Besides, I think Sudaru has a right to keep his story a secret. Besides, I will tell you what happened to me if you will be quiet."
Once everyone settled down, Hasuko started. "I was on a mission to rescue a man taken by the Village Hidden in the Mist. My comrades, as am I, were bound to tell only true facts. I do not recall what happened, but I suddenly was knocked unconscious, and I was told my comrades were dead when I woke up in a Leaf Village hospital."
"Wow. That stinks." Jurosu said. I think-"
"Dead. I killed him. My stupid curse. Why did I have to be the bomb? I hurt the shield, and killed the sword."
The whole team looked over to see Sudaru speaking these odd words. Eager to change the subject, Jurosu suggested he try to decipher the riddle.
"Narykuan!" he yelled. Then, Naruto noticed something odd with Jurosu. His eyes were fixed on the cave wall, and Naruto, deciding to fool around, looked at his face in Jurosu's eyes. Then he realized it. His eyes were reflecting some strange man writing on the cave wall, but the wall was chipped no one was there.
"Jurosu has a clan capability. He can see the past." Hasuko explained.
Soon, his eyes reflected Naruto' face again, and he whispered all he saw to Hasuko.
Soon, they both came to a conclusion. "Okay guys, back to Konoha. We aren't going to find anything here." Jurosu said as they all walked away from the mysterious cave.
