It was Sakura gasping from tears. Something was definitley wrong.
"Oh Naruto!" said Sakura clinging to Naruto. "It was awful! I was walking Sasuke and Shiki home and then when we looked Shiki was gone!"
"Oh my god," said Naruto. "I'm coming with you to find her, she couldn't have gotten far.
"But what if she did!" said Sakura. "I'm so scared!"
"Let's go find her!" said Naruto. "There's no need to panic.
Naruto and Sakura searched among the village asking people if they've seen Shiki. No one saw her. They checked likeable places for Shiki to be in. Not a sign of her, not a sign of anything.
They traveled far into the mountainside but found the hairclip Shiki had in her hair.
Sakura screamed.
"SHIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed out loud crying.
"Calm down," said Naruto. "She could've just dropped it t here by accident.
"And if she didn't?" said Sakura.
"I'm sure there's another explanation for why her hairclip's there," said Naruto.
"I want Shiki back and I want her right now!" said Sakura.
An old man approched Naruto and Sakura seeing Sakura bawling and crying and screaming.
"You've lost your children?" asked the old man.
"Our friend's little sister," replied Naruto. "Why you ask?"
"Children have been disappearing in different villages across our nation," said the old man. "300 gone so far, we believe this is a propecy that is being fullfilled.
"What propecy?" asked Naruto. "Who are you? What does the propecy have to do with the children?"
"My name is Shorato Akamatsu," said the old man. "I'm a sage from the Sound Village but I also work here occasionally, the rumored propecy that is being fullfilled was a past event that had occurred which was the arrival of a witch. Seventeen years ago there was a woman who arrived to the Sound Village from a hidden village she would not say the name of who used magic for nature purposes, she told us she wanted happiness and peace but lying within those words were many many lies. She stated she loved children and wanted to care for them. Knocking on doors asking busy parents of children if she could take care of them while they were doing their daily jobs. Some parents said yes and they and their children were never heard of or seen again. We started to suspect something fishy was going on, many people migrated from our village in fear that this woman would take away their children. Then we saw her out in the fields a child covering its mouth and tying it up. As she layed it down on the ground she waved her hand as a purple aura came from her handed making the child melt away . We banned her from our village because of her involvment in the disappearance of the child but she stated she would take revenge on all the children in the nation by melting them away and taking their energy. Then, we never saw her again.
"What was the woman's name?" asked Naruto.
"She never said her name, she'd simply just yell at anyone who asked," said Shorato.
"Thanks for your help," said Naruto taking Sakura and leaving the mountainside.
"Wait!" said Shorato. "Be very careful for she can rid of even the most skilled ninjas quickly!"
Naruto and Sakura ran to tell Sasuke about this. His sister could be in grave danger.
