Chapter 9: Curse of the Wolf Fang
With Kankarou's Puppet restraining her, Kasumi watches as the sand girl talks to Shikamaru. Kankarou is having trouble controlling his puppet and walking at the same time, so he was lagging behind, and Kasumi couldn't tell what they were saying. She used her Ocular implant to look at Shikamaru's lips and try to read them. "So do you think she's telling the truth? I've never heard of a Grass village." She sighs. He's most certainly smart. Even though I am telling the truth, he doesn't trust me. She blushes a little, but not so little that Kankarou didn't notice. "Ah" He states. "You like the shadow boy." She looks over at him. "You have no evidence to support that conclusion." "Oh ya I do. You've been looking at him since he's caught you, plus you've been blushing. You like him." "A primitive conclusion from a primitive mind." She states even though she knows what he said was true.
Tsunade was testing her makeshift antidote on Akamaru. Kiba stares in anger at the crazy women's techniques and Garra hold the dog down with his sand. Tsunade pushs the needle into Akamaru's skin and he yelps. His skin slowly turns back to its normal hue. "Good." Tsunade states. "Now let's use it on Shinoto and Hinata." Kiba rolls his eyes as she takes her antidote over to the other 2 sand covered possessed things. She uses it on the fused Shino and Naruto first. After a couple of seconds Shinoto speaks. "Where's Sakura-chan?" Kiba laughs. "Looks like Naruto gets the controls on the voice box eh Shino?" "Not neccisarily. I just didn't have anything good to say. However, of some importance, Ino and Asuma-Sensei have been captured." Tsunade raises a brow. "Asuma was captured? Unlikely." "Unless Sakura was lying, that is the truth. Speaking of which, where are she and Chouji?" "Their mission was complete, so Sakura has gone back to training. Chouji is guarding the strange man from the grass village and his pet wolf." They keep talking as Garra releases his sand back into gourd. He realizes too late that they have not yet used the antidote on Hinata, and falls to the ground as he is struck unconscious by her taijutsu. Tsunade stares at Garra in shock. Oh no… If he's asleep… Shinoto screams in fear. "OH NO!" Kiba stares at both of them confused. "What? We can beat Hinata-chan easy." Tsunade pushes him back. "It's not Hinata I'm worried about…" She manages to say before the sand demon erupts from Garra's sleeping body" Hinata by this time is long gone out of the village.
Doku sighs as he sits tied up to a chair (His armor is long gone) being forced to watch some fatso eat chips. "Yo fatso, give me one." Chouji growls in rage. "I'm not fat you bastard! I'm just a little overweight is all! And no, Tsunade-sama told me to keep an eye on you, not feed you." Doku sighs again, but his eyes open wide as he hears an explosion coming from a few rooms down. "What the hell?!" He screams. Chouji jumps up from his post and runs in the direction of the explosion. Yugo takes the opportunity to break from his restraints and follow. "Wait! Yugo! Free me too!" Doku sighs as he watches Ogami's partner jump away. Damn wolf…
