Chapter 5: Konoha and Pants
The now group of seven walked steadily along.
"So where are we going?" Hikaru asked
Itachi stopped reminiscing old times with Orpheus for a moment. "To Konoha!"
Some sort of village? Vidya wondered.
"Shall we get there faster?" Orpheus said to Itachi
"Sure" he replied with a grin
Itachi disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Orpheus disappeared in a puff of flame. The remainder of the group sweat dropped. "Shall we go after them?" Kisame asked.
"May as well." Sighed Vidya.
Kisame also disappeared in a puff of smoke; Vidya pressed a button and teleported. Hikaru and Sekai looked at each other. "Race you?" Hikaru asked
"Fair enough." Sekai replied. Hikaru chanted something incomprehensible and Sekai started running really really fast.
After 5 minutes, the group was re-united at the entrance to Konoha. Everyone looked at Sekai.
"How did you run that fast?" asked a shocked Kisame,
"Power of youth?" Ventured Sekai.
Far far away, a certain green spandex clad ninja sneezed. "Gai sensei?" A shorter version asked, "It's nothing Lee." The tall one replied. "Now let us train with the power of YOUTH!"
Sekai sneezed suddenly. Orpheus looked up. "It's late. Let's find somewhere to sleep."
Kisame pointed "there's an inn over there. I'm too tired to go back to the Akatsuki. We'll go back tomorrow."
They all went inside the inn and paid for the night. (With the innkeepers own money which Orpheus had mysteriously acquired).
"Is that the best you can do?" Asked a grinning Kisame, "I thought you were really powerful!"
Vidya, Sekai and Hikaru moved in front of Kisame hurriedly, "he didn't mean it Orpheus! He didn't know!"
Orpheus smiled. "Oh don't worry. I also stole his pants. Kisames too in fact." His smile spread. "What they are wearing now is actually paint."
Kisame looked down. So did everyone else. Except Orpheus of course.
