Chapter 12: Mission: No face man part 2

The past nights have all been the same, someone was there but when she woke up she was all alone again. It was like a presence, an impression… She sat in the library on the floor her eyes looked tired and restless as she was surrounded by several books. All which lay open to several pages none matching the other.

She heard the soft foot prints of someone entering the library she lifted her head from the shelf behind her and listened for the noise. She stood silently walking along the row of books looking though the cracks. So far nothing.

She continued down the row of the books walking towards the entrance seeing it was still undisturbed. The sound of a book falling of the shelf beside her made her jump and look to the side seeing a book on the memorials of the dead. She bent down picking it up and stopped seeing legs on the other side of the bookcase. She slowly and silently walked to the other side keeping an eye on the legs which didn't move. She came around the corner and looked down the isle and started to panic, no one was there. She turned around and yelped hitting the ground as the person was suddenly there but it wasn't who was in the room with her.

"Whoa easy it me are you okay?" Naruto asked reaching down to help Sakura up. Sakura looked around the room again as he helped her up and shook her head.

"No…" She breathed shaking her head and buried her face into his chest.

"Hey its okay, its just me." He said soothing her head.

"Sasuke?" He asked

"I am going to go home…" She said pulling away from him and walked towards where she had been, he fallowed silently but him being there was comforting. She picked up her books and put them in their place and walked towards him again.

"I will walk you home." He said lowly she nodded and he walked with her to the outside and all the way towards her house.

After he left she wished he hadn't all she wanted to do was be comforted but so far she couldn't convince herself that she needed someone to be there. She drank half a bottle of wine which she corked and stashed away. She made her way to the bedroom and plopped into bed. She closed her eyes trying to sleep but all she could hear was the movement of the wood and the creaking of the floors.

Soft hands ran over her skin again, she moved away from the touch fighting for consciousness. The grip was getting tighter and tighter around her throat.

Her eyes flung open and there was a man above her. Sasuke!

"Sorry I just can't allow you to get in the way!" He said.

"W-what?" She struggled reaching over to the side of her bed post.

"You are getting to much information! You will ruin all my work!" He said she coughed trying to get air as the hands gripped. Almost there.

"I am sorry!" he said she grabbed the end of the bed post breaking the whole thing off and smashed it into his head shattering the wood. He gasped releasing her and moved away. She gasped for air her chest heaving as she tried harder and harder to regain her breath before he could recover.

"Is it hard to see?" He asked chuckling she looked over at the wine glass then looked back at him trying to get up from the bed her legs felt heavy. She got to her feet and he came at her again. This time he got her throat and gripped with on while the other held her right arm to the wall.

"Is your sight getting blurry?" He asked. She reached with her left hand slowly so it would catch his attention. The grip tightened and she lost ground. She sighed and pulled her right leg up and kicked him from her and spun kicking him with her left in a round off kick. His head cracked into the corner of the dresser and she sagged a bit once again remembering how to breathe.

"No I see just fine…" She rasped and walked over to him.

"So he is the No faced man?" Tsunade asked as they stood in the apartment. It was filled with Anbu now looking all over her things.

Sakura stood protectively over her books guarding them with a Chakra seal only she would be able to undo.

"Yes, I don't know how he escaped..." She said lowly looking at the man who was now being taken away his face completely blank, no longer wearing Sasuke's face.

"We will check into things but until then is there… anything, anyone?" She tried Sakura sighed and sat on her bed.

"I will be fine, it just took me by surprise that's all." Tsunade nodded and smoothed her student's hair before walking away with the group.

"You know where to find me." She called Sakura smiled and nodded. Once they were gone she stood from her bed walking into the kitchen still a little dragged down. She got the bottle out and poured it into a jar and sealed it with a lid she set it on the counter before walking into her room and got dressed and prepared to leave.

Wrapping her leg tight she hooked her Weapons and gear to her leg and walked out into the kitchen and grabbed the jar. Looking at it carefully she walked out of her home and headed to the streets.

She moved with her Anbu stealth till she reached the hospitable. She went inside the lab without being noticed and started a few tests of the wine which was pouring into a few containers. Waiting would be the hard part, being sneak was one thing but standing here waiting for results required her to be in one spot for longer then a few minutes. The doors opened and she moved to the shadows and watched as a few nurses came in to check if there was anyone in here and nodded satisfied it had been their imagination.

She came into the light after they left and lifted the lid of the container holding the sample and put the sample in a safe storage place while the results printed out. She looked over her shoulder at the doors then carefully read what it said.

Toxins A and B long term.

Herb of guna found in remote area's of swamp areas.

Toxin paste found is wet regions.

Grapes found…farming.

Sakura looked thought of swampy areas and thought they would be closer to water villages such as Mist. Which was near where the missing girls continued to be exported from in the past few months, the issue at hand was the fact there were members of the Anbu keeping a watchful eye on the place strolling in would be an easy task.

(Sasuke…shocking I know)

"I think it is time you prove your recent developments." Oro said walking with the new comer to at his side. The man watched Sasuke carefully as they reached him. Sasuke turned looking at Oro.

"Any time you are ready." He said darkly a grin appearing on his lips.

"Come with me." He said walking away again the man at his side and they walked through the hallway till they reached the upper levels. They walked out into an open area where Sasuke waited to see who the fight would be against. He stopped a good distance away from Oro who turned with his cruel smile.

"You are going to fight me?" Sasuke asked his smooth face in complete control, he looked rather bored.

"Wouldn't dream of it…" With that said one thousand men came from the ridge coming before Sasuke.

"Again not even a bat of an eyelid." Oro said vanishing taking the man with him to the sidelines. The men charged Sasuke who simply moved fluidly though them his sword snaking around the bodies as if they weren't real.

Oro smiled as the man watched in horror as the men fell rapidly.

'What is this guy?' he thought looking at Oro who watched Sasuke excitedly.

'who are these people?'

(Naruto….hmn….)

Naruto made his way up the stairs of Sakura's home and knocked. When no knock came he unlocked the door with the key she had given him for emergency. "Sakura? Are you home I am just checking up on you…" He called nothing. He walked inside and raised a brow.

"Where could she be I looked everywhere…" He walked over to the side and spotted a note.

Naruto,

I have gone to seek who the No face man belongs too, I think there will be more information there then we had already gathered. Please don't worry about me I have been trained to be unseen and alone.

Tell Tsunade there are three samples in the storage unit at the hospitable, in the doctors section. Also mention that there might be a connection with the men and how he got in our village. He maybe a threat still. When she finds more about them she knows how to get in touch…

Thanks Naruto

Naruto noted the face sticking their tongue out and gave a small smile before leaving her home and went to find Tsunade with the recent news. Sakura should have known to tell her herself, but Naruto assumed she knew what she was doing…Tsunade wouldn't be too mad right?

(Sakura)

The forest was cold and damp by the time Sakura reached the start of the swamp lands. They were a little farther away from Mist village but this was where she would start in the morning. She sat down on her made up bed pulling out a case file and opened it up.

The man has shown no signs of life other then his basic breathing and heart beat.

Slow and rhythmic breathing body is still cold from lack of movement.

Face appears to be completely missing, no eyes, no nose of mouth a blank slate.

Sakura turned the page to all the medicines that should have been inside the man as he slept. It would make sense if this man was using the toxins on himself to slow his heart rate down. The medicine would have healed him…but continuous use of the toxin could prove to be fatal she sighed flopping back to the bedroll she stair up at the sky and closed her eyes.

Sasuke better be waiting for her when she was able to return…or she would go fine him…again…and she would show him how she would fight with a boyfriend.

(Naruto)

"SHE WHAT!!!!!!!" Tsunade's voice rattled the whole building Naruto cowered his eyes wide as he saw the wrath of this woman once again.

"She says there is reason to-"

"She should have come to me! Who else knows about this?" she asked trying to calm herself down.

"No one other then me." Naruto said lowly looking at the floor.

"We are getting her back… I will get a team prepared make sure your at the gate at sunrise." She said her golden eyes were angry but concerned as well. Naruto nodded and left the note with Tsunade who waited till he left to read it. The more she read the more she saw what the message really said.

Naruto,

I have gone to seek who the No face man belongs too, I think there will be more information there then we had already gathered. Please don't worry about me I have been trained to be unseen and alone.

Thanks Naruto,

Tsunade gasped as she spotted the hidden message and bit down onto her thumb. Sakura could be right, the no face man was able to lay dormant and undisturbed because he wasn't getting the medicine.
