Chapter 6
Naruto woke up being the 4th person to wake up. "Aw man, I went to bed first and still wasn't the first up." Naruto said with a pissed tone in his voice. "Well at least I was the fourth…"
"Not so fast." Sarran said cutting Naruto off. "I think the only reason that you were the fourth person to wake up is just because Rahul and Zach are always late sleepers. You couldn't wake them up even if you put an explosive tag near them." Sarran teased.
"Humph." Naruto pouted slightly as the sun was barely coming over the horizon.
"Well we shall give those two an hour. If they aren't up by that time we shall leave them." Sarran said.
"Whoa wait; you seriously aren't going to leave them are you?" Kiba said kind of shocked.
"I do it all of the time; they don't mind as long as they catch up before we get to Namera they will be fine…" Sarran said cheerfully. "But if they don't," Sarran said with a really serious tone, "they will suffer some terrible consequences." She said with a voice that could have sent chills down someone's spine.
"Well while we wait lets have something to eat." Hinata said.
"Good idea, I am starving." Naruto said.
One hour later…
They had eaten and packed up everything. When they were all ready to go Rahul and Zach were still not ready to go. In fact they were still sleep.
"Oh my god how long will they sleep?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I don't know… it varies." Sarran said as she started to walk off." Besides they will catch up sooner or later so let's go."
"Ok." Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba said as they followed behind her.
They continued for an hour or so until they reached the mountain passage.
"Naruto, Kiba, Hinata, keep your guard up." Sarran said to them as they were approaching the mountain passage. "This passage is supposedly were one of the most ruthless bandits attack. Rumor has it that anyone that has gone through here has never came out alive."
"Wait a minute. So if that is true I have two questions." Kiba said.
"What are they?" Sarran asked
"1st if that is true then how did you, Zach, and Rahul get to us?" Kiba asked.
"Well it's simple really. I was on a mission for my master and when I had just finished Zach and Rahul had come to get me and it was simpler to take another route to get to you." Sarran said
"Ok then why are we taking this route?" Kiba asked.
"Because it's the fastest way, duh." Sarran said with slyness in her voice.
"Ok I guess that makes since." Kiba said. "So how long is this passage?"
"Well, if we start now we shall be out of the passage in two hours." Sarran said. "But people choose the longer route that would take 5 hours more since they are likely to be killed while going through this path. Enough about that now don't let your guard down. Let's go." Sarran said as she started through the passage as Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata followed.
Meanwhile…
"Sir it seems that our scouts have seen someone coming through the passage." The subordinate said.
"Is that so? Well we are going to have a surprise for our… guests." The leader said to his subordinate.
Elsewhere…
Rahul and Zach had finally decided to wake up.
"Sigh… it seems like they decided to leave us." Zach said as he got up.
"More like Sarran told them to leave us." Rahul said to him.
"Looking at how long this fire has been out they have been gone for about an hour or two." Zach said preparing himself to leave.
"Well it won't take us that long to catch up." Rahul said as he finished packing the tent up.
"One problem though." Zach said as he turned around to Rahul.
"What is it?" Rahul said puzzled.
"I'm starving." Zach said as his stomach growled.
"Well I'm not can't you wait." Rahul said as he heard his own stomach growl. "Heh, I guess we can get something to eat." Rahul said a little embarrassed.
