Okay, quick note here, this story won't be getting updated everyday but it'll be updated a few times a week, right now I have more ideas than I would like to have right now and I need to sort them out right now.
Convoy 3…
The three Chunin in front were bored.
"Nothing ever happens on these stupid things, we just sit here the entire time." a Chunin muttered while tossing a kunai in the air." Why the hell did I sign up for this again?"
"You needed the money Tora, remember that gambling debt you owe?" his partner answered.
"Thanks for reminding me, I think I suck at poker almost as bad as the Slug Princess." Tora spoke after a moment with a small grin as he laid down on top of the convoy." I should probably stop gambling."
"You know you won't." the third Chunin spoke before the two Chunin flanking their wagon from the trees fell out of them, screaming.
"Kikaichu, so that means Konoha decided to intervene." a Jonin near the end thought as she observed the black mass covering both screaming Chunin." Of course they would send a Aburame for this mission, I hate fighting bug users, they always end up dead too quick."
"You may begin your attack Sakura, my kikaichu have drained most Chunin of their Chakra, those two panicked and I couldn't restrain them quickly enough, my apologies for that." Shino spoke after a moment as Sakura nodded before leaping off the branch she stood on.
She was a whirlwind of motion as she took down four Chunin in a second with several precise, nearly surgical like blows.
'I'll have to use precision instead of brute force with this.' Sakura thought as she stabilized the Chakra blades covering her hands and quickly extending both up her arms and growing a larger blade.
One Chunin made the mistake of charging her when he thought her guard was down only to meet a Chakra blade through his heart, instantly killing him before Sakura used hims as a shield against several shuriken and kunai launched from Chunin emerging from the trees on either side of the path.
Sakura planted several explosive tags on the Chunin before flinging him into one of the emerging groups before she sent a surge of Chakra to her entire body and moving faster than their barrage of kunai and shuriken could reach her.
"Katon: Cremation Flames!" several Chunin suddenly called out and breathed out a blast of flames each that merged into a single massive one that Sakura leapt over but cursed as several Raiton Jutsu were fired up at her.
Kikaichu swarmed the technique and quickly consumed the Chakra while more made a platform for her to launch herself into the trees from.
Shino calmly walked out of the forest with his hands in his pocket as his swarm shot out of the forests around him.
"It would be in your best interest to surrender, you will die if you continue this." Shino warned the Chunin.
"Just great, an Aburame." a nearby Chunin cursed before throwing several explosive kunai forward followed by a barrage of Chakra infused shuriken." I hate that freaky clan!"
Shino merely rose one hand out of his pocket and kikaichu quickly shredded the metal and consumed the Chakra from the tags and covering the weapons.
"You are fighting a losing battle, anything you can do I have already countered once. My kikaichu have adapted to battle and will kill you if you continue this." Shino spoke up as he pushed up his glasses." As I said before, it will do best to surrender."
"All of you, leave now." a voice ordered and the female Jonin landed in front of them all." I'll deal with this kid, just keep the convoy moving."
"Hai Mika-sama." The Chunin hurriedly spoke as they leapt away.
Shino simply pressed a finger to his ear.
"Sakura, are you in pursuit?" Shino asked quietly as static was heard for a moment.
"I've laid down traps and I'm in wait along the convoy's route, do you need me back there?" Sakura asked.
"Just stick to the plan, I expected to encounter Jonin and have planned accordingly." Shino answered after a moment before cutting the connection.
"You should have let her help you boy." Mika spoke after a moment as she reached behind her." You're not going to last long now."
"We will see." Shino answered before a swarm of kikaichu flew from his sleeves.
'A less modified swarm will do as a test, let's see what she can do against it.' Shino thought as Mika laughed before throwing a handful of senbon into the swarm.
Shino sighed at that.
'She's insane if she thinks that wi…'
Explosions devastated the swarm and Shino quickly used a Shunsin to get some distance between himself and the now mad crackling of the Jonin.
'Explosive tags wrapped around the senbon, a perfect counter to my bugs.' Shino thought even as more senbon sot towards him he sidestepped them and flung several shuriken into the smoke only to know they didn't hit anything as he rolled out of the way of a hail of senbon that seemed to follow him and explode once they embedded themselves in the ground.' She's fought an Aburame or someone like us before, she would have had to if she has counters like this to my attacks.'
'He's better than the usual ones I kill.' Mika thought as she bounced a kunai off the trees to land behind Shino.' But he's still no good.'
Shino cursed when he heard the thud and quickly jumped away and into the trees as he called out another wave of kikaichu with some difficulty.
'My hive is smaller than I would like and it is going to take some time to call back the ones I've already sent out.' Shino thought even as he threw six shuriken towards where he thought Mika was.' Time I don't have.'
He narrowly avoided another wave of senbon and he quickly drew a scroll before throwing it into the trees.
A massive explosion engulfed the forest as Shino then dropped down several smoke bombs as he quickly called back his kikaichu spread across the forests.
'Looks like I will have to fight without my sensory net, it's a good thing father prioritized training without these past few years.' Shino thought even as senbon arched down from above him.
His kikaichu arrived and he grudgingly sacrificed almost a third of the swarm to block the hail of senbon.
'He blocked that one just be luck.' Mika thought with some annoyance.' This is why I hate bug users, they get lucky a lot so I have to waste more senbon on them.'
"Come on out already kid and I'll kill you quickly!" Mika shouted even as she threw several senbon where she heard noise from.
Shino silently appeared behind her and slammed a hand into the middle of her back.
"I was about to say the same to you." Shino spoke as he leapt away.
'There, the tracker's planted' Shino thought with some relief as he sent most of his remaining swarm forward, this swarm one of his most varied with metal eating, high speed Chakra devouring, miniature bombs, and many more specially bred kikaichu he didn't use often.
'These are a pain to breed and I just lost most of them, I'm going to have to plant some in the main hive when I return to the village.' Shino thought as he leapt back to avoid the backlash from his attack.
A black vortex engulfed Mika who merely laughed as she began spinning, unleashing a hail of senbon as she did so.
They blasted holes in the vortex that were filled but it was thinning, where before it was a few meters thick it was rapidly thinning to a meter.
Shino cursed as he leapt back as the senbon began to reach him.
'She has incredible aim, it's inhuman.' Shino thought with some amazement, he had never seen someone use the small needle like weapons so precisely.
"You're really starting to annoy me kid." Mika shouted as she stopped spinning as the vortex was thrown away from her." You should have run away when you had the chance, now I'm going to kill you by blowing pieces off."
Shino cursed as he shrugged off his jacket and quickly unclasped his shirt.
'Looks like I'm going to have to use that technique.' Shino thought as he let the light blue glow of his Chakra engulf him.' This is going to be annoying.'
With Sakura…
The pink haired Kunoichi quickly cut the main artery in the neck of another Chunin and let out a sigh of relief with that the last one and she allowed her Chakra scalpels to fade away.
"Finally, I thought I would never finish with all of you." Sakura spoke as she observed the weapon littered battlefield as well as the several dozen corpses either filled with weapons or laying on the ground, looking to be unharmed but still dead.
'At least I don't have to deal with all the blood a normal weapon would have caused.' Sakura thought as she moved up to one of the wagons and wrenched it open with superhuman strength and tossed the removed door to the ground.
"Well, this isn't good." Sakura commented as the wagon was empty, not even a trap inside it." That means that the real shipment is somewhere else, these were all decoys."
With Kakashi….
"Yes, I finally broke it!" Kakashi called out in triumph as he pulled open the door to the wagon only to see nothing inside.
"Oh come on!"
Shikamaru merely sighed.
'Naruto still hasn't opened his, he's fighting someone right now while neither Kurenai and Kiba or Hinata and Naruto's clone has begun their attack on the others yet but their close. Bad news is that the convoys are meeting up so those four will have to fight off both guard details together.' Shikamaru thought with a sigh.' This mission is getting more and more annoying by the second.'
AN: Well Shino is about to do something with his fight and some of the convoys turn out to be fakes. So the question is, where is the real shipment?
Anyway, read and review on the story and what happens next.
Peace.
