Chapter 12: Road To Sunagakure part 1
It was 5 minutes past afternoon. Team 8-consisted of Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata and Shino are a few miles away from Sunagakure, also known as the Hidden Sand Village. For this mission, they were joined by a guest, Akira Takeshi. It was a C-rank mission, delivering a special scroll given by Hinata's father to one of his friends in Sanugakure.
"So, why you're following us?" asked a wondering Kiba.
"Well........" Akira started to explain his story.

Flashback
It was 9.34 a.m. Akira and his friend, Jack just woke up from their slumber. As they stretched their bodies like they always do every morning, they heard a knock from the door. Akira slowly walked towards the door and opened it.
A man with a brown goatee was standing in front of him, a little surprised seeing the boy's messy hair.
"What?" Akira asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Right......The Lady Hokage wants to see you in her office immediately." The man said.
"Sure." Akira simply said before he closed the door.
Konoha's headhouse
Tsunade looked up from her paperwork as the door cracked open, revealing a teenage boy.
"Ah, come in." The Lady Hokage said.
The boy walked in and shut the door behind him silently.
"Have a sit." Tsunade offered. The boy moved to sit in the offered chair. He folded his arms and spoke up.
"So, what can I do you for, Tsunade-sama? I heard it was urgent." Akira said. The woman in front of him just kept quiet as she took something from her drawer and putted it on the table. It was a scroll; the back layer was green in color with golden outline.
The boy raised one of his eyebrows as he looked at the scroll.
"What's this?" He asked.
"It's an important scroll belonged to the Hiashi Hyuuga. I presumed you met him yesterday since he knows you." Tsunade said.
"Yeah.....I met him when I helped Hinata-san." Akira said. "So, what does this scroll have to do with me being here?".
The woman answers, "Hiashi wants his daughter to send this scroll a friend of his in Sanugakure."
"But what about her teamates?" The boy asked again.
"Yes, but he thinks it wasn't enough since there are a few......dangerous people who wants to get their hands on this scroll. Seeing your actions yesterday convinced him that you are suitable for the job of being the 'extra helper'."
There were a few moments of silence before Akira started to talk. "Sure."

"That's pretty much of it." Akira said.
"I see......." Kiba simply said.
Shino, like usual, just kept quiet.
Unnoticed, behind a nearby tree was a man, lurking through the shadows, spying on the group. The man wore a black leather clothe, with a navy colored pants. His spiky hair protruding from his head, making them look like fire. A white mask covered his face. Only the eyes can be seen. The man chuckled, smirking behind his mask.
"There they are...." The man said before he disappears.

Sound Village: Orochimaru's laboratory
Orochimaru was standing beside Hakai, who was strapped on a metallic table. Apparently, the pale man was scanning the red head.
"Astounding." Orochimaru said with a bit of excitement in his tone. Based on the results, Hakai's DNA was merge with a complex nanotechnology, increasing his strength, speed and agility, and also gave him the ability to transform into his mutant form.
The pale man than turned towards Hakai, smirking. "This technology is amazing! I need to have it......" He thought, licking his lips.

The group was still walking, trying to reach their destination before sundown. Even though the village was now only a few kilometres away, they decided to take a break. Suddenly, they heard the sound of growling coming from each other's stomach. Unfortunately, they did not bring any food for them to eat.
"Hey, look......." Shino said, pointing at a tree.
"Mangoes!" Kiba said. The boys head towards the tree to pick up the fruits while Hinata and Akamaru waited for them as they sat on the ground.
After picking, Akira approached the kunoichi and offered some of the mangoes. "Umm....Here." He said.
"Umm, thanks." Hinata said with a smile. With that, they happily ate their lunch that was until they saw something peculiar on the ground nearby. It was a puddle of shadow. They were surprised, seeing that the sunlight was block by the clouds, so it was impossible for a shadow to form. They quickly stood up when they heard a laughter coming from the shadow.
A man with black attires and a white mask slowly rise from the shadow, startling the group. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?".
"Who are you?" Akira asked, posing in his fighting stance. The rest of the group does the same.
"I'm Hamaji, part of the Scroll Collecter Society." The man said.
"Scroll Collecter Society?" Kiba repeated.
The man smirked behind his mask and spoke up. "I think you got something that we want, you brats!".
"Like what?" Shino said.
"The scroll that the little Hyuuga is hiding inside her jacket!" Hamaji pointed at Hinata, causing her to become nervous.
Oh yeah! So what if we don't want to give it in?" Kiba asked.
"Well then, it looks like you just pick up a fight....with us." The man said. Suddenly, two other people jumped down from the trees. Both men wore the same attire as Hamaji. Their masks however were different; one was green and the other one was purple.
Sorry for the delay. I was busy. Also, this chapter is like a filler so that's why it's short.
