"Wh-Where the hell did they go?"
"They zoomed off, brother," Al scratched at his helmet, troubled.
Ed stood alarmed, "HOW CAN THEY WANT OUR HELP AND THEN MOVE AT INHUMAN SPEEDS AWAY FROM US?" He stamped his metal leg down, "NO BATTLE PLAN?"
"They probably had one formed already," Al shrugged, "I guess we're backup-"
"BACKUP?!"
They froze when a large explosion boomed across the forest. They exchanged looks and agreed it was time to play catch up. They clapped their hands together and boosted off from hastily protruded piles of dirt (still not as fast as the ninjas) until they reached the village. Upon arrival, Ed and Al saw the same group of ninjas standing about different parts of the town, panting heavily, but the enemy was hidden.
"Okay, where are the bastards?" Ed clenched his fist in the air.
The runny-nosed whiskered kid spun around and grinned at the newcomers, "They ran off! Probably because they took one look at my rasengan and shit their pants!"
"Rasengan?" Al queried.
Ed closed his eyes in rage, "You mean to tell me that we don't get any action because the writer is too ignorant and lazy to look up the enemies fighting techniques?"
"Brother, you can't break the fourth wall at a time like this."
Kakashi jumped from the nearest building and landed in front of the brothers with athletic precision, "We can't bother chasing after them – it's more than likely that they're long gone. Besides," He turned his head and stared with regret at the ruined village before them, "we need to help those who have even survived."
Ed immediately felt a pain in his chest, "Right. Let's go, Al." They ran ahead and joined up with Team 7. They dug through buildings to rescue surviving villagers and Sakura immediately pitched a tent, healing as many people as she possibly could. Kind boys they were, Ed and Al felt intense heartache as they carried people to Sakura, and even worse sadness when they found those who had died.
Ed wiped blood off of his jacket, "Who were those guys who did this? Akatsuki?" He lowered his brows in disgust, "What kind of group could murder innocent people?"
Sai appeared behind them and spoke, "Most importantly, what was their objective? This village is low-key; they stay to themselves, their trade with outsiders is limited, and there's only five or six ninja who reside here. What could the Akatsuki possibly gain by destroying this place?"
"I wonder that myself," Kakashi spoke quietly to himself, eyes narrowing at the brothers.
