Red Clouds and Cherry Blossoms

Chapter 4

This chapter picks up after the cliff hanger ending of chapter 3 and proceeds from there. I hope you all are enjoying this story as much as you say you are in your reveiews wich I thank you whole hartedly for. Also to anyone out there who is reading but has yet to reveiw please take the time after the chapter you are reading to quickly go to the bottom and leave a small message of aproval or critisism. It motavates me to keep writing even when I get tired of it and would like a break. I hope the people that reviewed already have gotten their thank you messages that I sent out. This is not a too action packed chapter but i will say one person does die. The chapter is mostly a reflection of what has happened and a preveiew to what is going to happen. I hope this chapter still keeps you interested in reading on. My face turns from happy and concerned to dont really care. Ok now that I can stop pretending to care about the "readers" (jokeing) we can start the chapter. But really do enjoy it.

Neji- 8 trigrams palm rotation. With his Byakugan Neji can see a person's chakra. Wait this isnt a normal chakra system either. The chakra is in orbs all through out the figure. Wait...this isnt moving. As the mist from his smoke bomb clears it becomes understood. Thier is a light brown replica of Haruno Sakura in front of him. Sakura?

Meanwhile

Ten ten- Masters choice weapons, the greatest of ninja tools I summon the...What? Ten ten withdraws from her attack and lands next to her target. She can see what she was attacking only its not a person its made of dirt no clay.

BOOM Simultainiously the life size replicas of Sakura and Sasori explode in a giant swirl of wind, smoke, and fire hurling Neji and Ten ten back at each other in oposite directions. They both lay unconcious sprawled out on the cold morning ground. Sasori and Sakura watch this from up in the sky as they head away on Deidara's clay bird.

Deidara- Shit, those were my two best replicas of you two and now all of what that beutifull art stood for is gone.

Sakura- Iam sorry we were forced to use your replicas but we were running out of time and that was the only way to finish with enough time to get out of here by sun rise.

Deidara(Senseing her genuine concern for his art)- Ughh...I guess its not like I cant create more.

Sasori- Lets get out of here. We have only minutes before sunrise and if there is light out we will easily be seen. Also the sky isnt the best place to hide on a day with no cloud cover, we shall land and head to the inn to gather the remander of our belongings and head out of the fire country.

1 & ½ hours later

Nauto's office is peacfull as he looks at the days paper work. Hinata comes in with two steaming cups of tea and sets them down on the table.

Naruto- thanks Hinata, I really need to be woken up to get the paper work done by its duedate today.

Hinata- Well that's what you get for wanting to become hokage all your life. She smiles and sets at the table beside him

Naruto- your right I got what I wished for.

Shikamaru (landing on the terrace outside)- Ho..Hokaga-sama Its urgent.

Naruto- What is it?

Shikimaru- Its Neji and Ten ten, they have been wounded and informayion was stolen from the classified files in the library.

Hinata- I didnt even know we kept the classified info in the library.

Shikamaru- Aparently the people who broke in were the only ones who knew about it. Holaga-sama we need to get you to the library now

Naruto- NO we see Neji and Ten ten first!

Shikimaru- But.. but

Naruto- NO buts, we see them first. The library can always wait untill others are ok.

Shikimaru nods and the both take to the roof tops on a short trip to the infermary. The land in the window and enter quickly. Running up to the two beds he sees Neji very tired and his armed bandaged tightly and ten ten whos head is wrapped as well from the fall she suffered after the explosion.

Naruto- Neji!! Ten ten!!

Neji- Hokage-sama

Naruto- Who did this to you two? Who put you in this condition?

Neji- I don't know who my opponent was but he wore a cloak of akatsuki and seemed to be not of this village.

Ten ten- Mine was no different.

Naruto (standing frozen)- A…KAT.SUKI? No…..but who else? Do you have any other information?

Neji- Ya, even though he didn't use them he said he was a puppet master…..he also had a messed up chakra system.

Ten ten- Mine used chakra for deffense and to improve physical abilities.

Naruto- Thank you….I'll let you rest now. He turns to go

Neji- Wait. Ten ten, I saw who that decoy looked like. I also know it will be hurtfull for him but he needs to know before he finds out himself.

Naruto(turning back)- What is it Ten ten?

Ten ten- I…I know who my enemy was….i just cant believe it….it IT was…..Haruno Sakura.
