Ok guys time for chapter two
Chapter Two- Ambush
"There it is. The sand village is just ahead." Andoryu informs the others.
"Then lets get going." Toreb said impatiently. He was about to move up when two men suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Going somewhere are we?" Asked the first one, a large man with a deep voice. Toreb couldn't see much of the man because he had a large robe on with a hood pulled over his face.
"I do believe we should have some fun first." The shorter stockier one said. With that the tall one charged straight at Andoryu. Andoryu knew this was coming and ducked out of the way. The man began to turn but by the time he turned around Andoryu had a kunai at his throat. The second man tried to charge at Andoryu who had turned his back but before he could Toreb and Zakku rushed at him. Toreb aimed a punch at the man's face while Zakku aimed for his midsection. The second man fell to the ground from the impact.
"So lets see who they are." Andoryu says and reaches to move the first man's hood. Just as he managed to grab the his hood, the man kicked Andoryu square in his crotch. Andoryu called out in shock and both Toreb and Zakku turned to see what happened. The man who they had knocked to the ground, leaped up and punched Toreb in the center of his back. Toreb called out in pain, Zakku turned but got hit with a devastating left hook to his jaw. Now the mysterious men had control.
"Well that was fun, wasn't it brother." The shorter one says, then laughs maniacally.
"This isn't right. There were supposed to be four of them." The taller and clearly smarter one says while looking for Zoi.
"No! There are only three of us, our ally got sick before we could leave." Toreb calls out desperate to protect Zoi who had vanished.
"Toreb what are you-" Was all Zakku could say before getting kicked in the face.
"Well three is better than none brother." The shorter man says.
"I suppose so."
"Hold right there!" A deep commanding voice orders.
The men turn around and the taller one says, "Well what do we have here?"
"Anbu." The speaker, a person clad in all dark clothing, says. "You are interfering in important business leave these men alone or you shall be taken into custody."
"High and Mighty are we. I see only one of you and two of us." The tall man says then walks forward cracking his knuckles.
"Hold or my men will be forced to attack." The person threatens.
"What men?" The voice says sarcastically.
"You've forced my hand." The speaker raises their hand and suddenly both approaching men are hit with multiple kunai each.
They both stumble forward, the shorter one says, "Well this is it brother. I hope we gave them enough time." With that both men fall onto their faces. Never to be heard from again. Toreb, Zakku, and Andoryu all stand up nursing their wounds.
"Thank you sir. Your men will be well rewarded." Andoryu walks to the person.
"Oh come on sensei, fooled that easily." Zoi's voice comes from the "Anbu".
"No way!" Exclaims Toreb as he approached the person. He pulls back the hood to see Zoi. "Well damn. Had me fooled." With that Toreb gives her a hug.
"Wow. That was quite impressive Zoi, gotta hand it to you." Zakku walks to her with a new found respect.(That sort of thing can come from having your life saved)
"Well done Zoi." Andoryu claps her on the back.
"How did you do the kunai thing?" Asks Toreb.
"It was simple. When they appeared i knew it might get hectic so i jumped to the trees and set up a simple trap. The kunai were held in in place and when I pulled on this string." Zoi gestures to the string in her hand. "The kunai were released."
"Well lets see who they were." Andory says as he walks to the men and lifts the taller ones hood. "What!" Andoryu yells out. He goes the the second man and lifts the hood as well. He gets the same shocked expression on his face.
"What is it sensei?" Zakku asks then goes to the men. "They don't have faces!?"
"I've seen this before, but previously they could not talk." Andoryu mumbles barely audible to the others.
"What is it sensei?" Asks Toreb.
"It is a forbidden technique to take a corpse and make it a new person, with one flaw. No face."
"And the Akatsuki have enhanced it!" Zoi finishes.
"We need to inform Tsunade of this immediately." Zakku says.
"We will send a hawk to Konoha as soon as we get to the village."
"Then let's get going." Toreb calls to the others who turn and see he is all ready running to the village. They grab their stuff and run after him.
The Gates of the Sand Village Late at night
"Now before we head in tell no one of this. We never know who might be listening,And let me do all the talking." Andoryu orders them.
"Yes sir." Toreb, Zoi, and Zakku answer in unison. The group begins to walk forward one they reach the gates they are stopped by a guard.
"Hold. Who goes there?" The guard asks them.
"We are just travelers." Andoryu answers calmly.
"What do you seek here?"
"Me and my children seek a hospitable place to rest for we are weary and will cause no trouble for you."
"It is late at night, How do I know you are not assassins looking to kill our noble Kazekage."
"You may search our possessions we have weapons merely to defend ourselves on the road."
The guard looks through there stuff very thoroughly. " Ok I suppose you can enter."
"Thank you kind sir." The group walks through the gate and enters the mighty Sand Village.
