Chapter Two
Chuck Norris paced along the walls in the room silently. Two pairs of eyes watched him go in circles until a door slammed open, and Chuck face planted straight into it. Orochimaru entered the room taking wide steps, his attitude seemingly better than normal. An evil smile was set on his face as he made his way to a table on the far side of the room. Pulling himself up, he sat down on it, and crossed his arms.
A girl with a flute got up and made her way to a wall close to Orochimaru. She took her position there, leaning against the stone wall, and crossed her arms as well. A boy turned in his chair. Spinning himself around, he sat backwards on the chair. Raising his arms, he leaned against the back of the chair.
Yoda came bustling into the room, shutting the door behind him. He made sure the door was shut properly before making his way to a chair beside Kidomaru, the boy in the chair.
Just as Chuck Norris had regained his balance, and had almost taken a step forward to join the others, the door flew open again, and he proceeded to face plant into it. Kabuto ran in to the room and made his way to stand next to Orochimaru. Orochimaru glanced at him, as Kabuto pushed his glasses back up onto his face.
Yoda sighed and slowly pulled himself down onto the ground. He grunted at the effort, and the thought of having to get back up onto the chair. Even more slowly, he made his way back to beside where Chuck stood, and closed the door. Once again, he checked to make sure it was sealed properly. He turned, and shuffled back to his chair, his eyes on the ground. Orochimaru watched this pathetic action with no interest, then finally beckoned for the beaten up Chuck to join them.
What idiots, he thought. Then, clearing his throat, he let his voice break the atmosphere.
"I have waited a while for this. Some of you know what I'm talking about, some of you do not. First, and sadly, Konohamaru and Kimimaru will not be joining our meeting today, because they will not be needed for the mission I am about to send you on."
Faces brightened at the thought of a mission. It was boring around the place, and getting out was definitely something no one would turn down. As relieved as they were for finally being allowed to leave for a while, they could not help but be sad for Konohamaru and Kimimaru, for having to be stuck here for the time being.
"Second, I must say, is very important and I want all of you to listen carefully. Uchiha Itachi, older brother of Uchiha Sasuke, and son of Uchiha Fugaku, has left for a very important mission. During this time he will be far away. Far away enough that if anything were to, let's say, "attack" his home, he would not be able to return in time to save it."
Questioningly, intense eyes looked at him.
The boy in the chair nodded, "So... we're planning something against Itachi's family?"
Orochimaru paused. "Somewhat... we are, Kidomaru. Yet, not really. If his family were to intervene with my plans, of course I would have you defend yourself, naturally. But, if they do not attack, you do not touch them. I don't need any interferences. I only need Sasuke."
The flute girl head snapped at him. "Sasuke, why him? Is he not the younger of the two?"
"That may be so, Tayuya. And he is younger. Yet, from what I can see now, is that he will and can be so much more than his brother. There is something strong inside him that I will take and use to my advantage. And then, in time, I will make him most powerful, and have him kill his own brother."
Tayuya's eyes widened, a smile spread over her face. Yoda looked away blankly, as Chuck scratched his head questioningly, and asked, "So... you're saying that we gotta go kidnap Itachi's little brother, make him more powerful than he is now, and then have him kill Itachi himself."
"Basically," Orochimaru responded simply. "If you wish to sum it up that way. Though, Chuck, for this round your job will not be as eventful as you might wish. All I want for you to do is scout Sasuke's life. Chart what times where he is, follow him. Now, do you think you can manage that?"
"Yes. Absolutely."
Orochimaru folded his hands in his lap. "Now, we're not going to ambush him straight on in the comfort of his house. Kidomaru, you and Tayuya will be the attackers. All I want you to do is get him here. Do not kill him, do not wound him. You can use sleeping darts, you can knock him out, but know, I need him to be in good shape when I receive him."
Both Flute Girl and Spidy Boy nodded at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru got off the table, preparing to leave. "Lastly, Yoda, your job will be easy since I know you of all people don't like to do any work around here if it is not necessary. I would like you to monitor these three's actions. Anything out of place you report to me." He turned to Flute Girl, Spidy Boy, and Chuck. "Please don't misunderstand. I do trust you in a sense, but this is an important mission to me."
Orochimaru sighed. "If you fail... well, I'll let you imagine the rest." He made his way back out the door. Yoda, who had already begun climbing down off his chair, made his way to the door. Kabuto raced after Orochimaru clumsily, and caught up to him further down the hall. Flute girl ran and caught up with Spidy boy. He exchanged a glance with her, but spoke no words for fear of being heard. His main concern was how he planned to take Sasuke down without actually hurting him. Flute Girl could always help him in that situation.
After Flute Girl and Spidy Boy exited the room, Yoda shut the door behind him. Chuck Norris, not as fast as the rest, turned to walk out, but was greeted with the door closing on his face. His step forward took him face straight into the door, and he heard a click as the door was sealed, and the lock was put on. Then footsteps as the three others walked away.
