Naruto 2- Mission started
After a brief meeting, every member of team 3 had split up and covered ground using trees. They jumped from tree to tree, always keeping an eye on the representative, who looked terrified every time he heard a sound. Riku and Jiriyah signaled to each other to keep a look out and nodded. Natsu was busy trying not to fall from his motion sickness from jumping so much. Riku noticed the beautiful sound of birds chirping and smiled when the sun lit his face up. Suddenly he heard a sharp yell and then Iruka Sensei.
"Lets go Team 3!"
As Jiriyah emerged from the tree line, he saw Natsu and Iruka with their Kunai knives drawn . They had landed on the two sides of the rep and were facing four ninjas with lighting headbands on. They were already streaming chakra from their hands, and they all had on blank masks. Jiriyah landed behind the representative, who was trembling in fear and sobbing.
"Where the hell is Riku? Did he get lost in the woods?" Iruka asked viscously.
"I don't know Sensei, but I'm sure he will realize and find us," Jiriyah smirked.
Nastu trembled and looked at the ground.
The action started almost immediately. The killers moved with blinding speed and attacked from all sides. Nastu barely blocked his attacker, Jiriyah managed to strike his opponent with a viscous kick, and Iruka used one of his new techniques to block both of the men who attacked him.
"That was my wind tunnel. Now it's our turn to attack. Natsu stay back! Jiriyah, back me up," Iruka orderd.
Jiriyah threw six Kunai at an assassin, who dodged them easily and laughed at his weak opponent. His laugh was cut short as Jiriyah's fist connected with the man's throat. Iruka did six hand seals and placed both palms on the cool grass beneath him.
"Cellular Paralyisis!" He yelled.
One ninja stopped and fell over, unable to move.
"Now then," Iruka raised an open palm and placed it at his hip, " A move I learned after the death of my greatest student," a small sphere of chakra rotated in Iruka's hand, " Rasengan!" He slammed his fist into the stomach of another man and sent him flying.
Iruka smirked as he thought of Naruto.
"Sensei! Help Jiriyah!" Natsu yelled.
Both ninjas threw lighting covered fists in Jiriyahs direction.
Iruka watched in horror. He knew he wouldn't make it in time.
Right as a fist was about to connect he saw a truly amazing sight. A massive fireball swallowed a ninja and scared the other, who jumped backwards. He quickly faded into the woods from where he appeared.
Riku jumped down and high fives Jiriyah.
"Yeah! Thanks man," Jiriyah smiled.
"No problem," Riku nodded.
"No time you two we need to hurry and get this man to his deal. Ill carry him and we will take to the trees again. I won't have enough chakra to use another Rasengan for awhile, and Riku can't pull of another Fire ball. We need to hurry and get to a place where we can at least rest," Iruka lifted the man onto his back.
"Right Sensei!" The three replied and the team took off.
...later...
The team had arrived at a spot in the forest they could rest at for awhile and everyone was exhausted, except for the still terrified rep.
Jiriyah had the most chakra and offered to keep a lookout over the camp.
"Riku, I need to know how long it will be before you are at full chakra again," Iruka panted heavily.
"I don't know Sensei. Maybe an hour," Riku gasped for air.
"An hour?! We need to move now people! Now! I can't die today! Oh no! We are gonna die aren't we! Aren't we! They sent the worst ninjas to protect me! Oh no!" The rep yelled.
"Shut it they will hear us idiot! The last thing we need is a fight," Iruka yelled back.
"Wait... Something isn't right, the temperature got warmer suddenly,"Iruka thought.
"Yeah I feel it too Sensei," Natsu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
A figure appeared before the group, it was holding Jiriyah in it's hand.
"Is this yours? I only put him to sleep , you can have him," the man threw Jiriyah at Natsu, who fell to the ground on impact.
"Who are you?" Iruka stood and panted.
"I am no one, just as you are to me. To... Us," another figure appeared from behind the first.
"Two lighting ninja. One is a male the other is a female. It's the Thunder Duo Simichi and Dituske. They are dangerous guys. Team 3 lets take them-"
"No. We fight on our terms. No rules," Ditske, the male masked ninja said.
He disappeared and reappeared behind Riku, who turned quickly, still receiving a punch t the gut.
"You take him Simichi, ill handle these two."
Natsu shook nervously and then quickly crossed his two index and middle fingers.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He yelled and then threw a smoke ball and began switching with the four clones he made.
"Hidden art: Natsu Surprise attack!" The four clones ran towards his enemy, who laughed and threw for Kunai, causing all the clones to "poof" away.
"Too easy,"Dituske smirked.
The smirk was returned by Natsu. Dituske looked down and saw a purple, clay -like substance cover his feet and harden to the ground.
"Haha you fell for it! Hidden art: Glue Shell Clones!" Natsu smiled.
"Nice Natsue! Now I can end this in one Jutsu," Iruka charged another blue, rotating orb.
"Rasengan!" He charged at Dituske with the orb at full power.
Right before he hit his target, a needle flew through his thigh, followed by twenty needles that attacked his chest and stomach, stopping him.m
"Lightning style: Lighting Rod!" Dituske laughed evilly.
Massive bolts of lightning traveled along the string attached to the senbon needles, causing Iruka to fall.
"Seems like you used up a lot of chakra. Hmph, you were no match."
Riku was panting heavily on a knee as his opponent neared him. She stabbed his shoulder and laughed as he screamed.
"You are going to die here," she said as she twisted her katana deeper into Riku's arm.
Riku smirked after a few seconds and reached up, touching the blade. He sent lighting chakra up the blade and into the woman's hand, sending her screaming and stumbling away.
He then pulled the sword out and threw it down.
"Damn," he thought," I used too much energy and I've lost too much blood. I need to end this and now."
His opponent was charging at him with another lighting fist. This one would kill him. He knew it and he wasn't ready to die. She neared him until he knew it was over. Then he felt a warm substance drip out of his right eye. It stung a little and after he was done rubbing the pain away, he saw the woman covered his black flames. She was screaming and after about ten minutes, she fell over dead.
Riku looked at his had and saw blood.
"What? Why is my eye bleeding?" He thought, " I used no Jutsu... What happened," this made no sense to Riku.
His thoughts were quickly shaken away by Iruka's scream. He had to help his leader.
