Chapter 52 Sai
"What why the hell are you pairing me with this ass? Especially when Seth has just woken up from being unconscious for a whole week."
"I got it!" Seth suddenly yelled before he came flying through the open window with the fire daimyo's wife's cat in a cage. On his back was a white shield in the center of it was that Konoha spiral around the rim was bronze dragons that looked like they were dancing
"Mission complete before it even got requested." "I caught the cat after picked this up from the smith's and who's the wanna be emo who needs a bigger shirt?" Seth asked pointing at the very pale skinned, black haired shinobi with the bag on his side shirt exposing his stomach and sword on his back.
"This is Sai, he will be taking the empty space in team 7 and this is captain Yamato." Tsunade pointed at the guy with the weird metal face plate and brown hair, who was wearing standard jonin equipment."He will be leading team 7 in place of Kakashi on this mission do to the fact he hasn't recovered from the last mission. You'll be going to meet up with the Akatsuki spy and potentially capture them." Tsunade explained.
"Okay everyone I want to see you at the gate A.S.A.P. make sure to bring all the equipment you'll need." "Wait what about Crash is he coming?" "He's going to rendezvous at the meeting point as back up." Yamato said before jumping out the window Seth came in.
Less than an hour later…
Seth's P.O.V.
I arrived with Naruto at the village gate I was running checklist: sword, shield, Kunai, shuriken, and Kody on my back I was good to go.
Sai had shown up Naruto and him started fighting I had to smoke dash out of the way so I wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.
"Will you two knock it off!?" I heard Yamato yell as he pulled the two apart.
Suddenly a wooden cage sprouted out of the ground.
"Because if you don't I won't hesitate to throw you two in a cage to settle your differences!"
And with that argument settled we were on our way to bridge. When we got to the top of a hill I decided to take off my shield and put it on ground; I got ontop of it and with a single push in the right direction I was shield surfing and boy was it fun.
I was picking up speed quickly and having fun at the same time until, I eventually slowed to a crawl; stopping in a clearing.
Soon I heard footsteps come up from behind me.
"I never realized how effective gravity is at speeding things up." I heard Yamato say behind me.
"We should stop here it will still be a few days before we reach the bridge. While we are stopped I want to test your abilities. Sai and Naruto you two will be working together; Sakura you're with me."
"But, what about me?" I asked.
"Seth you'll be a third party that isn't allied but, has a common enemy. You'll be coming at me."
Soon the fight was under way. I had activated my bloodline in one eye letting me see heat signatures as well as getting some distance so I wouldn't be found before I struck. As long as no fire jutsu are used I should be fine. I watched from a distance as Naruto and supposedly Sai fight Yamato and Sakura. Suddenly a smoke screen went up stopping me from seeing in with my normal eye. Luckily my thermal eye wasn't blocks. I saw Yamato's heat signature move out of the screen and into the trees above. I also saw Sai get out of the same screen and move behind a tree. When the smoke cleared there was what appeared to be a clone of Yamato and Sai. The clone was fighting alongside Naruto until I saw the rasengan forming in the clone's hand with Naruto aiding in its formation making it.
This was when I decided to make my move I had made 4 thunder clones I told them to spread out and surround the battlefield and listen to Rex. When we were all in position we all took aim at Yamato who was in the trees. Instead of firing smoke blasts at him we fired electricity at him though we had to alternate to keep from being pinpointed though what surprised me it the sounds the electricity was making. Not the fact that each clone and myself was firing a different color of electricity is was the sound it was making. It sound something like that sandstorm song I heard Rex humming. (Author's note if you want to hear what it actually sounded like here's a link:)
The shots seemed to have taken Yamato and Sakura off guard, forcing them off balance as they have to dodge the multi-colored shots. I guess they were having a lot of trouble locating me do to the fact me and my clones were constantly changing the color of each shot. There was a short pause in the firing giving me the chance to put Kody down.
"Kody I need you to activate your armor and cover me I'm going in with head hunter."
"Got it." Kody replied as he extended the armor on his back until it covered his whole body. I went to the ground and did the headhunter jutsu. Moving cautiously not cause any ground vibrations giving away my position. The trap has been set now to wait.
I had a small hole possibly the size of an ant hole to see through it wasn't a good view but it would have to do.
I waited, and waited, and waited until I got a glimpse of pink this was when I struck I shoved my hand through the ground and grabbed and ankle. I let my smoke tie up what I had grabbed. I heard the screaming of Sakura before I heard the thud of something hitting the ground. I had to move Yamato had to hear the scream. I managed to get away from who I believed to be Sakura. When I had reached a safe distance I waited, and waited, and waited some more. I had the same setup I used on Sakura. I kept waiting until I saw the mark of a jonin vest.
This was when I struck. I grabbed a leg and let my smoke do the same thing as before. There wasn't a scream or a thud instead there was a poof, so I knew I had to move my position has been blown. Soon the memories of my clones hit me and one of Kody being captured.
I started tunneling as fast as I could making a rats nest of tunnels behind in a panic.
"Wood style underground uproot!" I heard what sounded like Yamato yell.
In a second I was being forced out of the ground by rapidly growing roots this wasn't good. I soon ensnared by them and lift in a crucifixion position. I was struggling to get out of it, Yamato then appeared before me.
"I'm surprised. You really had me running for my money with what you did. Well now that I got you caugh…" he was saying before I smoke dashed out of the root nest and place my hand on his face where I allowed my smoke to entangle his whole body like his roots did to me.
"So Yamato does this mean I win?" I asked panting, I used up a lot of chakra during those electricity blasts I'm surprised I'm still standing.
"I did not see that coming and yes you win. Now can you release this."
"It should do that automatically give it a minute." just as I said that the smoke disappeared releasing him.
"Here, eat this." he said pulling out a food pill.
'Yeah, no. Those things could even further damage my chakra coils than they already are." I told him while pulling out a smoke bomb. I then threw it on the ground where it exploded into a very thick black cloud of smoke. Yamato started coughing, while I started absorbing the smoke through my hand. I could feel it restoring my chakra to about half.
"That was no standard issue smoke bomb."
"You're right about that. The gunpowder and the chemicals that make the smoke are special. Especially the volcanic ash I have mixed in."
"You really shouldn't be telling how you make those things out in the open you could have spies. Come on let's get back to the others." Yamato suggested and I agreed so when we got back to the group naruto and Sai were fighting.
"Sigh." When will those two get along?
