Chapter 3: New Friends, New Enemies
After walking through dense forest all night, the creature finally comes to a stop. Unnoticed, the creature was being watch by two ninjas that are hiding behind the trees. Feeling tired, the creature decides to take a nap on a nearby tree.
"What is that?" asked the first ninja.
"Don't know. We should inform this to lord Orochimaru!" the second ninja suggested.

"Akira Takeshi? That's a nice name!" Sakura commented. "I don't think it's that special.." Sakura's inner thought said.
"Thanks." Akira said, smiling.
"So where did you came from, stranger?" Kakashi asks.
"Tokyo." Akira answers.
"Tokyo? Look's like you live not far away from Konoha." Kakashi said further.
"Konoha?" The boy asks, looking at Kakashi with a confuse look.
"It's the name of our village." Kakashi answers.
The boy thinks hard as he tries to remember. His eyes suddenly widen, "You mean one of the famous five ninja villages?" Kakashi nods, conforming his statement.
"Cool!" Akira commented, smiling.
Naruto just scuff at his statement. He lay back at the corner of the window as he looks at the boy, pouting. "For a newcomer, he's sure gets attention fast!" Naruto gave a thought.
"T-Thank you for s-saving me..." Hinata stuttered as she gives the boy a smile.
"No problem." Akira said, returning the smile. A slight blush appears on his cheeks.
"So tell us, how did you get here? And who is this creature you were fighting?" Kurenai asks.
"So you know?" Akira said.
"Yeah. News travels fast in the village." Kiba said, laying his back on the chair.
"Hmm. Guess I have to tell you everything." Akira said, looking at the people in front of him.
The boy takes a breath and starts. "Two days ago, my grandpa was tutoring me on for some martial art lessons in his dojo." Akira said.
Kiba pulled his hand up as he asks a question. "What kind of martial arts?"
"The Takeshi Style Martial Arts. A fighting style created by my grandfather." Everyone go 'ahh', feeling amazed, except for Shino, who was silent as usual. Naruto was still pouting, still jealous of the attention that Akira received.
"Back to the point, my grandpa decided to have dinner in an expensive restaurant. As we were our meal, something happened. The ceiling starts to crumble, forming a hole. A creature with wings descended from it. It started to attack everyone and its sight. My grandpa tried to stop it. He battled the creature with all his might, but the creatures manage to beat him. I was enraged that I tried to attack it. He managed to avoid all my attacks and gave me a single punch on the gut! I was knocked out when my head hit the wall behind me..." Akira said, his tone changes and his fist tighten.
"When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital. My grandpa was laying down on the bed right beside mine. The doctors told me that my grandpa's injuries were fatal that they might not be able to save him. I left the hospital the next morning and went back to my house. My sister was surprise to see me back home so early. However, I didn't explain to her anything. I told her I will leave home for sometime and I want her to help my friend, Jack to take care of the dojo.".
"What a poor boy…" Kurenai said quitely.
"Do your parents know about this?" Sakura asks.
Akira shakes his head, "No, they passed away a few years ago.". Everyone gasped, eyes widen and jaw agape.
Akira sighs, taking another breath before he starts to speak again.
"And so, I followed the monster, fought it, save Hinata and ends up here.". Akira finally stopped, counting the following things he done with his fingers.
"That's so sad..." Sakura commented, feeling concerned. "Oh yeah! You rock Akira!" Sakura's inner self said, giving him a two thumbs up.
"Nah, it's not a biggie. Anyway, when can I get out of here?" Akira asks politely.
"In a few minutes." Kurenai replied. "Team 8 will be in charge of taking care of you." She said further.
"In charge? For what?" Akira asks, shrugging.
"For giving you a tour around the village." Kurenai answers, crossing her arms. The boy could just nod, agreeing with the woman in front of him.

Later...
Akira was now fully healed and ready to leave the infirmary. He puts on his white colored T-shirt, which has the word 'Surfs Up!' with a picture of a surfboard on it. He then puts on his blue-colored sweater, with the logo 'Skyway' printed on its back. He tidied his jeans, which has some tear spots on it before he puts on his black sneakers. Finally, he slips on his biker gloves onto his hands.
--
He walks out of the infirmary and met up with the team. Everyone, with the exception of Shino had their eyes widen, surprised to see what Akira was wearing.
"Woah! You got some cool clothes there!" Kiba complimented. Akamaru barked, agreeing with his master.
"Y-yes, you look g-good.." Hinata stuttered, smiling at the boy.
Akira stares at the girl and replies, "Umm...thank you...". His cheeks starts to redden.
"Are you ready?" Kiba asks.
"Yeah!" Akira replied with excitement.
--
The creature woke up and soon found itself facing a man, guarded by two men in ninja outfits. The man has a pale face, long untidy hair and snake-like eyes.
"Well, what do we have here?" Orochimaru said.
"Hmm, what a strange man. Who are you?" The creature asks, crossing his arms.
"I'm Orochimaru, it's nice to meet you." the man answers, smirking.
"I'm Hakai." the creature said.
"So, you're the creature they have been talking about?" Orochimaru asks, with his usual icy cold tone.
"They?" Hakai winks at the man.
The man could just chuckle, smirking at the creature.
