Chapter 4. The Chase
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM! The ground suddenly began to shake as roof of the Hokage's mansion crumbled.
"Peek-a-Boo! Hmmmm?" said Deidara as he stared at the dilapidated room below him, smiling.
"That cloak, you're an akatsuki member! But what are you doing here?" asked Tsunade, but then the thought hit her, Naruto! There were still many questions she had, like, why was Orochimaru here too? And, are they all working together?
"How about a little game of follow the leader?" asked Deidara as he flew off at top speed.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Tsunade as she gave him a chase.
Sakura was extremely worried now, she knew that she had to warn Naruto. She dashed everywhere looking for him but he was nowhere to be found. What she didn't know was that Naruto was off on a mission with master Jiraiya.
As the two of them bordered the entrance of the village both of their eyes were glued to the destruction of the village.
"What……… What…… on earth h… happened here?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know. said Jiraiya but it doesn't look like they were having a welcoming party." Behind him, Jiraiya was swiftly attacked by a shadowy figure.
"Huh? Pervy Sage, behind you!" Naruto screamed.
Jiraiya vigilantly dodged the attack. Naruto was then grabbed revealing the shadowy figures.
"Well, well, if it isn't the akatsuki? said Jiraiya.
"We can't allow you to interfere." said Itachi.
