Hours later, they had already departed from their destroyed home and now were on their way to find the Sannin known as Tsunade. They moved quickly by ground instead of leaping through trees. The air was cool and comfortable. There was an overcast sky and looked as if it would rain. It seemed as if it did nothing but look that way since the events of the Chuunin Exam. They reached a river.
"Alright, let's rest here for a bit." Satori said. "We should also fill up the canteens."
The group walked to the river's edge and dunked their canteens. They then walked back up to the road, stood off the side and rested.
"I don't know what this girl even looks like." Shikamaru said.
"Well she's in her fifties but look like she's in her twenties because of jutsu she uses. She should have a partner named Shizune with her." Satori said.
"She has inhuman strength and amazing chakra control." Hanako said.
"Yeah don't tick her off. She'll beat you into a pulp with just a finger." Junshin said.
Neji smirked like he didn't believe them. At that moment all of their attention went to the road.
"Someone is near." Shino said.
"Neji." Satori said.
"Right." Neji replied as he lowered his head then raised again. "Byakugan."
He scanned the area and looked around. His head stopped moving toward the right of the group.
"There are five of them. They know we're here." Neji said.
"Can you tell if they're friendly?" Satori asked.
"They are not." He replied.
"Looks like we've got another battle on our hands." Junshin said.
The group leapt out of the bushes and went to face their opponents. Their opponents were standing in the road waiting for them. Satori's eyes widened. Even though he never fought them he knew who they were. It was the Sound Five.
