Chapter 7: Another Stranger

Team 8 was waiting outside of the outhouse, waiting for Akira to come out. Shino was laying his back on to a tree, being quite liked usual. Next to him was Hinata, sitting on the ground while writing something on the ground. Kiba was busy petting Akamaru.

Her writing caught Shino's attention. He silently moves closer to get a better view.

"Love?" Shino thought, raising an eyebrow. Fortunately, Hinata was not aware of his presence. A smile followed by a slight blush carved on her face. This make Shino wonders what was in her mind.

Out house, (phone conversation)

"How's everything over there?" Akira asks.

"Pretty much boring. Nothing much I can do here except beating your sister in video games." Jack replied calmly.

"I see..." Akira rolls his eyes.

"Well, how's the chase? Jack asks.

"Well you wouldn't believe it." Akira said. First, I followed that thing for a couple of days without stopping. Then, I managed to catch up and fought it in a forest." Akira explained, counting with his fingers.

He then continues, "It was intense. That thing manages to knock me out. Than, when I woke up, I saw that thing holding a girl and drop her from the sky. I saved her but then I fainted.". He explained further as he continues to count.

"Hold up. You saved a girl?"

Akira starts to blush but he shakes it off. "Yeah but then I fell unconscious and the next thing I know, I found myself ended up in Konoha.".

"Konoha?! You mean one the famous village where ninjas trained?" Jack asks as he could not believe what he just heard.

"Yeah. I had a good time. They got some pretty good ramens here, not to mention that I fought one of the ninjas here too." Akira said proudly, smirking.

"Fought? Man, you sure had a great time. All I could do here is looking after the dojo while babysitting your little sis!" Jack said, feeling a little depress.

The little sister heard and ran straight to the phone. She demanded to speak with Akira but Jack ignored her, causing her to pout.

"Hmm. I got an idea. Maybe you should come here. It isn't that far." Akira suggests.

"But what about your sister and the dojo?" Jack asks. Before Akira could answer, his little sister snatches the phone. "Hey!"

"Hey, I want to come too!" The sister asks.

"No, you can't, Hikari. You have to look after the dojo." Akira answered.

"Hey, that's not fair! How come Jack could go?" Hikari protested.

"Because I said so. Besides you got your friends to help you." Akira said further.

"But-" Before she could finish her sentence, Akira interrupts. "Don't worry. You'll be fine.".

"Yeah. So don't forget to bring me a souvenir or something." Hikari said as she gives the phone back to Jack.

"So, how about it?" Jack asks.

"I lend you my bike." Akira said. "Just be careful with it...." Akira warned.

"Whatever." Jack replied, rolling his eyes.

Tokyo, Takeshi's Mansion (garage)

Jack went down the stairs, leading him to the garage. Inside it, there was a large motorcycle called a chopper. He puts on his helmet and his biker gloves as he climbs on to the bike. He opens the garage door using a remote control and soon goes off.

Konoha Village

After waiting about 15 minutes, Akira finally comes out of the outhouse. Kiba covers his nose as he smells a strange stench coming from Akira.

"Man, you wreck!" Kiba said. Akamaru bark, signing he agrees with his master.

Akira raised an eyebrow as he smells himself. "Yeah, you're right."

Kiba uncovers his nose as they head back towards the village.

"So who did you call?" Kiba asks.

"My friend. I asked him how everything is over there." Akira replied calmly.

"Y-your friend? How is he?" Hinata said nervously. Shino looks at Hinata strangely. "This is the first time I see Hinata asking someone a question." He thought.

"Well, his fine. Just helping my sister to take care of my grandfather's dojo." Akira answers. The group continues to talk as the climb up the hill.

--

"What?! His coming here?" Kiba said. Hinata and Shino looks at the black hair boy.

"Why he wants to come here?" Shino asks with his usual cold tone in his voice.

"It's because he was bored. So, I asked him to come here. He'll love to have some good fights." Akira replied with a grin. Hinata and Kiba sweat dropped after hearing Akira's answer. Shino just shake his head.

Outside of Konoha

After arriving at the village, Team 8 decides to search for Kurenai. Meanwhile, Akira waits for Jack outside of the village near the road. After a few minutes, Akira turns his attention towards his left as he hears the sound of an approaching motorcycle. The motorcycle stops and a person climbs down from it.

"Finally!" Akira said, crossing his arms.

"Well it ain't easy to get through the traffic." Jack replied.

"Whatever." Akira said, rolling his eyes. He and Jack walk through the forest and head straight towards the village, bringing the chopper along with them.

Meanwhile...

Hakai was waiting in the forest outside of the Sound Village just like Dr. Vile ordered him to do. The doctor told him that his assistant will meet him at the forest.

"Grr, I don't need an assistant. I'm powerful on my own!" He said to himself, grasping his hand. Suddenly, something landed in front of him. He brushes off the dust particles. A large figure stands up, glaring at Hakai with red eyes.
