"Why do we have to go to Tristain?" Naruto whined.
"More importantly, what's so bad there that they need all of us to go? Ino interjected, glaring at Naruto.
"Oh. Yea!" Naruto exclaimed, surprising most everybody in his vicinity.
"Naruto, you really have become a bet-"
"It could be just me and Sakura." Fluttering his eyelashes he grinned, looking up toward an enraged Sakura. And World War III commenced, each person arguing for their own loved one. A fist brutally wedged itself in his thick skull and he automatically quieted, an extreme contrast with the shouting match around him.
"Settle down." Iruka-sensei said, attempting to control the outbreak. "KAKASHI! Why are you reading Make-out Paradise!?"
"Huh?" Kakashi stared at him blankly, head cocked to one side, genuinely wondering what was wrong. Iruka clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead.
"Either way..." Iruka growled, gritting his teeth. "We have a mission, one that requires all of us, surprising, I know. This association calls themselves, Tristain Magic Academy."
"Hah! I'm betting they're just normal people who can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu techniques." Temari snorted, then upon noticing the look on Rock Lee's face, immediately neutralized her face. "No offense to you."
"Actually," Iruka said, the beginnings of a smile appearing on his face, "These people are who they say they are, they can do magic."
Eyes widened and jaws dropped, "Eh?"
Iruka laughed, expecting their reaction, "They have the special ability to summon things-"
"Our summoning technique." Shikamaru interrupted.
"As I was saying..." Iruka glared at him. "They can produce flames, lightning, water, wood, and others-"
"And like I was sayin-"
"Without chakra." Iruka stared gloating, happy to be able to dumbfound everybody, not really caring that everyone was at least ten years younger than he was.
Kakashi slammed his book shut, and got up from under the tree. "Guess it's 'bout time." Iruka nodded, ignoring the questioning stares from the crowd.
"Make a line." Iruka commanded, yet he was blatantly ignored. "LINE!" He tried barking, but again, nobody made a move to follow his demands. "KAKASHI! DO SOMETHING!" Kakashi motioned his head toward the tree. Everybody moved toward it, somehow understanding his implication to do the same thing Iruka asked them to do. Iruka gaped at him, his jaw pretty much scraping the ground.
Like usual, everybody ignored him.
"Uhh... Iruka-sensei...? What are we waiting for...?" Kiba asked hesitantly, Akamaru whining in agreement. Iruka sniffed and turned away, apparently miffed a the fact that nobody was paying him any heed.
"Ca-" Naruto started, just as a flash of blue light encompassed the tree he was facing. Kakashi smiled, gaining pleasure from their shock.
"Step right in." This caused the people to fall out of their stupor instead sputtering unintelligible comments.
"Wh-what!?" Tenten stammered. Kakashi stepped inside, his legs instantly disappearing into the swirling vortex of light.
"Bye!" With a little wave, Kakashi became completely absorbed. Naruto was the only person who waved back.
"Come on! It'll be fun!" Naruto jumped right in, and behind him followed some others, causing the domino effect until every last one vanished.
Orochimaru smiled, pleased that everything was on track. His little human sacrifices were on their way. He snapped his fingers, his smile widening.
"Ready or not, here I come."
