Chapter 5: The Team Without Life
Kiba runs along the trees, heading in the direction Naruto took. How dare that jerk beat me AGAIN. I'm going to be on this mission if I have to kill him! As he inches along he slams head first into Sakura who is heading back toward the Hokage, and falls unconscious. Sakura gets up "What the hell are you doing you idiot?!" When he doesn't respond, she pokes him in the head with a stick. "Kiba?" She gets an idea, and tapes a message on his shirt, puts the liquid in his weapon bag, and runs back toward Shikamaru Argggggg. I'm going to make him pay for treating me like his servant.
Hinata walks around the village depressed. Not only did she make Kiba mad, now he's chasing after her love, Naruto. She walks around for a while before bumping into Rock Lee. "Ah! Hinata-chan! How is such a lovely lady doing today!" She blushes from getting a compliment from such a weird guy. "I'm doing fine Lee-san" She starts to walk away, but Lee stops her. "You are a Hyuga correct?" She looks at him kind of strangely "Yes…" "Perfect! I need to train against the Byakugan if I ever hope to defeat Neji! Hinata, will you train with me?" She stares at him, mouth agape. Is this strange boy seriously asking a girl if he pretty much can kick her ass? "No. NO! I will not train with you!" "Prefect!" he says, oblivious to her objections as he grabs her arm and drags her toward the training arena.
Shikamaru catches up with the three of them quite easily and jumps in front of them. "What are you three doing? We got the liquid. Let's go." He prepares to walk away when he is forced to dodge a thrown Kunai by Naruto. "Naruto, I know you're pissed about not being able to come on the mission, but take it out on Asuma, not me." Just then, Shino's bugs come out of his body on a course toward him. Aw shit… the poison must of drugged themHe jumps out of the way and possesses all 3 of them with his shadow possession jutsu in such a way that Shino couldn't see where he was. Great, now what. Sit here and wait for my chakra to run out and die? Sigh…. What a drag. I suppose I could try to fuse, but I've never fused with more then 1 person before, and their Chakras will be unwilling. But what other choice do I have. He goes into the hand signs, the rest of them copying his hand signs perfectly.
Sakura arrives just in time to see all 4 of them performing hand signs in perfect unison. She remembers how Asuma explained the Shadow Fusion Jutsu worked. The 3 of them seem to be struggling with Shikamaru, and Shikamaru seems tired… whats going on? The three of them notice her and start growling. "Shikamaru, whats wrong with them?" "I…. Don't…. know…." He replies, tired, but not missing 1 hand sign. "Some…thing… drugged… them... they… not…. them… selves…" after a few seconds of hand signs more, he completes it. "Shadow Style! Shadow Fusion Jutsu!" Sakura watches as a large flash of purple chakra engulfs the area. She watches in horror as a deformed mess appears from the chakra. It had Naruto's head, a large buggy body, Shadowy limbs and was immensely overweight. She jumps as the form lunges toward her. "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" It screams in a crackly demonic voice cloneing itself many times until sakura is surrounded by 200 of the beast.
Hinata cries in fear as she barely dodges Lee's kick, her Byakugan barely registering his fast movements. She dodges a few more, desperately trying to find a way out of the situation. She stabs her finger into one of his Chakra Points causeing him to convulse in pain for a few milliseconds, all she needed to get away. Man… boys are really weird.
