i do NOT own Naruto
I held the book at arm's length to look at it better. The Naruto manga logo was on the front but the book was old. The three of us stared at it awhile.
"What is that," Naruto asked.
"It's a book, baka," Sasuke said annoyed.
"I know that," Naruto snapped, "but it has my name on it!"
I hugged the book closer to me then turned to glare at them.
"You can't read it," I said.
"Why not?" Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
"Uh,… um," I stuttered looking around, "Cause I said so."
Sasuke scoffed.
"Are you kidding me," Naruto said, angrily.
"No," I said, bluntly.
I kneeled next to my unconscious body and tucked the book under my arm. When Naruto tried to reach for it, his hand went through my arm. I smirked and he glared at me.
"Well, what do we do now?" I asked Sasuke.
"Why are you asking me?" he said in an annoyed tone.
"You're the who thinks your smarter than everybody else," I said coolly, "So I thought you'd have a plan by now."
"Well, I don't obviously," he snapped.
I sighed. "We shouldn't get snarky with each other. We should try to find a way out of this situation."
A rustling sound came from the bushes. I remembered what happened in this part of the book. I turned around just in time to see three sound ninja jump out of the trees. I glanced at the boys at saw that their jaws dropped.
"'I told you so' won't cut it this time," I said, crossing my arms.
"We have to find a way to help Sakura," Naruto said frantically, "What do we do?" He ran around frantically and went head first into a tree. Then an idea popped into my head.
"They can't see us, but we can affect objects around us," I explained.
"It would be a good advantage," Sasuke added, "But we need to come up with an effective plan first," he said, making me roll my eyes.
"I think I know what to do," I said, smiling.
Booby traps went off as the sound ninja came nearer and nearer to our bodies, but they didn't affect them. Sakura became nervous and we watched silently. In a green flash, a bowl cut, bushy eyebrows, and orange leg warmers, Lee appeared. I sighed in relief, happy someone would protect her.
"Leave Sakura chan alone," he said staring down the sound ninja.
"GO LEE! Whoot!" I cheered. Naruto sweatdropped and I grinned from ear to ear.
"Get out of my way, freak," The big sound ninja said.
Lee lunged at him and threw a barrage of punches that looked like a blur. The sound ninja jumped back in time, but he seemed surprised. Then he held up his armored arm. I knew what was going to happen next and my spirits fell. Sound waves came out of his arm and even caused a disturbance in my spirit form. Naruto and Sasuke felt it, too. Lee doubled over clutching his left ear.
The sound ninja advanced on him but I jumped in the way and shoved him as hard as I could. He skidded a few feet and looked on, shocked. Naruto jumped on his back and Sasuke tried to pull him down. I walked over towards where Lee was and knelt beside him. I looked closely at his bloody ear and noticed he wasn't looking at me at all.
I'm a ghost, of course, I told myself. I held my hands up and concentrated the hardest I could. Tiny sparks flew, but nothing happened. I exhaled loudly and tried again. A surge of electric like power coursed through my veins. Blue electricity shot out from my hands and danced around Lee's ear. The blood slowly disappeared and any old wounds healed, too. His eyes widened and I smiled, proud of myself.
He got up slowly still staring at where I was. Then all of a sudden a sound wave crossed over my spirit form the other guy sound ninja. He looked terrified, as if he was being hunted by ghosts. I had to close my eyes from the disturbance. Lee yelped in pain.
"Naruto, Sasuke," I called over my shoulder, "What's going on?"
"He can see us," Naruto yelled.
The sound ninja's ear twitched.
"And I think he can hear us, too," Naruto yelled again.
"Then stop yelling, baka," Sasuke said, fiercely.
"I can see you three," he said, playfully.
We stayed silent and looked at each other. I mouthed 'Don't move' and we kept still. The biggest sound ninja smiled from under his bandages.
"If you little ghosties keep to yourself, bowl cut and beauty queen here won't get hurt," he said.
I mouthed 'I have a plan'.
"Now to finish my mission and take care of the Uchiha," he finished.
"I won't let you," Sakura said, stepping between us and him.
Sakura threw kunai at them, but the biggest sound ninja covered in bandages stepped forward and held his arm up again. Powerful sound waves shot out from the armor covering his arm and repelled them back at her. She flinched and covered her face with her arms. Kin, another sound ninja, snuck up behind her and grabbed her by her hair. Naruto tensed up next to me.
"What's your plan," he asked in a serious tone, not taking his eyes of Sakura.
I nodded towards where our bodies were and held my finger to my lips. As the sound ninjas were distracted with Sakura, with us keeping a good eye on her of course, we slipped in between the tree roots silently.
I grabbed the book from next to my body, it becoming solid under my touch. I held the book away from Sasuke and Naruto's sight as I flipped through the pages.
It was in manga format and showed all the events since I came to Naruto world. My jaw dropped at how much I had changed the original series. Beyond the point where I was now, was nothing but blank pages, much to my disappointment.
All I want is help, I told the blank page. Beams of white energy shot out from one of the empty pages and engulfed us. I shut my eyes, blinded.
I went from feeling light headed to feeling tired and achy. My eyes snapped open. I was back in my own body. Naruto stirred next to me, but Sasuke remained still. I rested on my elbow, but groaned as a sharp pain stung my neck. Through my blurred vision, I saw Sakura standing up with a determined look on her face. Her hair was cut short, strands of it flowing through the air. Even though Naruto was groggy, he stared at her in amazement.
I stood up shakily, trying to ignore the agonizing pain I was feeling. I could imagine how Sasuke was feeling.
Sasuke.
Still feeling like butt, my head turned quickly to where he was supposed to be laying. His body was gone and my stomach fell. How could he get away so fast? I mentally cried. And where the heck is Streaks?
Sorry again for the long wait but i keep getting brain farts! :P
