Chapter 2
Naruto is found
"Naruto!" Sakura shouted. "Where the heck are you?"
"This is no time to be fooling around!" Sasuke said. "Where could you be?" Suddenly Sakura's eyes saw something. Three small figures walked toward them. All three looked like Team 10.
"Hey!" Sakura said. "Choji, Shikamaru and Ino aren't that short." She pointed to the Choji impersonator. "And those eybrows look absolutely fake!"
"Fake?" The Choji lookalike said. The lookalikes huddled.
"She found us out!" the Ino lookalike said.
"Darn!" The false Shikamaru said. The three then unhuddled and faced the ninjas.
"Okay!" the Ino Impostor said. "We'll show you who we really are!" The trio then ran out of the ninjas' sight and changed clothes. They then reemerged.
"What's with the costumes?" Sasuke said. "It's not Halloween!"
The girl who attempted to impersonate Ino narrowed her eyes at Sasuke. "We dressed like what you call Team 10 to get your attention! Plus, this is what we usually wear" She had pale green skin, messy hair and narrow eyes. She wore a witch costume. "We know where your friend Naruto is!"
"Yeah," a slender devil boy said. "We've seen him!"
"Take us to him!" Sasuke said.
"I take orders from no one!" the witch girl said. "Well, if you do want to see Naruto again, I'll take you to where he is!" She walked away. Her skeleton and devil cohorts followed close behind.
"Should we follow her?" Sakura said.
"She did say she knows where Naruto is!" Kakashi said.
The ninjas followed the trick-or-treaters to a tree with a Jack-O-Lantern. The witch girl rested her hand against the door. "Before I proceed, promise me one thing! You won't panic!"
"We're ninjas!" Sakura said. "Ninjas don't scream!"
"Besides, who are you?" Sasuke said.
"Lock!" The devil boy said.
"Shock!" The witch girl said.
"Barrel!" the Skeleton boy said.
"Weird names!" Sasuke sighed. Shock then grasped the nose of the Jack-O-lantern and pulled. A door opened.
"Come! He's in here!"
"In the tree?" Sakura said.
"Not in the tree!" Barrel said. "There's a portal to another world in the tree!" The trick or treaters climbed in followed by the three ninjas.
Sakura looked around. Gothic Architecture and gray skies surrounded them. "Welcome to Halloween Town!" Lock said. "Isn't it great?"
"Hey! You're here!" Naruto said. He ran towards his teammates and sensei. "I was wondering when you'd find me!"
"So, this is where you've been!" Sakura snapped. "We were worried about you!"
"I'm okay!" Naruto said. "The people here have been nice to me!"
"Well, at least we found you!" Kakashi said.
Lock, Shock and Barrel scurried off to their treehouse and entered it.
"Well, Orochimaru," Oogie said. "How does the plan sound? We release an army of undead ninja upon Konoha and Halloween Town!"
"Very good!" Orochimaru said. "I know just where to get the ninjas!"
And now... the next chapter will contain... Haku and Zabuza reborn.
