CHAPTER TWO: First Encounter

After several minutes of running Robert and Tyler managed to find where they thought the yelling originated. They found themselves in a large clearing. Beside them to their right were three wooden poles sticking out of the ground. In front of them were lights from what looked like a town.

'Good there's a village nearby,' Robert thought with relief.

"Here is where the yell came from but I don't see anything here," Tyler said confused.

"Let's look around to see if there are any clues to what happened here," Robert suggested.

"HELP!" someone yelled.

"That was fast," said Tyler. "It sounds like a large mob."

"Come on, it came from the town," Robert said and he ran straight towards Konoha at top speed.(A/N: Which is about 35 kph for a regular SPARTAN)

They heard an angry voice say "Come on, he went this way!" Another voice, this time an old lady yelled "I'll kill that demon for killing my son!"

When the Spartans (Robert and Tyler) got to the village they were surprised at what they saw. It looked very low tech and yet had a sense of home. They jumped up on top of a building to get a better view of the area. A festival was going on in the village. There were several food stands, costume shops and game stands.

'This place looks strangely familiar,' Robert thought.

"Looks like a festival," Tyler stated.

"REALLY? I would have never guessed," Robert said sarcastically.

A vein popped on Tyler's forehead after that last smart comment. "What now, oh fearless leader?" he said with a hint of maliciousness in his voice.

"We have to find that kid. You go around and see if there really is an angry mob but stay in the shadows," Robert said calmly.

"What about you?" questioned Tyler raising an eyebrow.

"I'm going to find an escape route. Once you find the kid, signal me over the comm and I'll send the waypoint." Robert then ran toward the right edge of the building trying to avoid the festival and jumped down to an alley.

"He gets to have all the fun while I have to do all the dirty work," mumbled Tyler.

Static

"I heard that!" Robert said over the comm..

"Damn it," Tyler said under his breath.

Static

"Think of it this way – if things go crazy you get to test your abilities in your new armor. Just remember not to use deadly force, I don't want to piss everyone off if we are in enemy territory," Robert finished as he turned off his mouth piece.

Tyler thought about it for a minute and then started grinning from ear to ear. He searched for a couple of minutes before he found the kid standing with his back up against a dead end in another alley. The kid also had to be around four years old. He had blond spiky hair and his clothes were ripped and torn suggesting that the mob had almost caught him before. One of the men from the crowd moved in on the kid he had some kind of vest him Tyler thought it was a utility vest because of all of the pockets on it, he also had some sort of head band on his left arm. He was also holding a small katana raised in his right hand.

"Time to die Kyuubi," he threatened.

"What?" the kid said as he stared wide eyed at the menacing crowd.

'Shit – so much for staying in the shadows' Tyler thought as he jumped over the edge of the building. He landed between the kid and the angry man.

The crowd was momentarily stunned. They seemed awe-struck to see Tyler in his SPARTAN armor. Tyler took advantage of the distraction, he grabbed the kid, threw him over his right shoulder and jumped back on top of the building where he was spectating the event; but not without leaving a small present in front of the crowd – it was labeled 'Tear Gas'.

Hissssss

Cough "My eyes!" "Out cough of my way!" came multiple voices from the crowd.

Tyler watched the crowd running every which way and calmly turned on his comm..

Static

"Robert, I found the target and the mob. I don't think they were too happy with the 'gift' I left them," Tyler slyly said.

Static

"sigh Roger that. I found a place where we can hide out for awhile, I'm sending waypoint now," Robert replied.

"Roger – over and out." Static Tyler turned off his comm. A blue arrow suddenly appeared on his HUD (heads up display). With the kid still on his shoulder he jumped from the rooftop to rooftop towards his escape route.

Unknown to the mini-SPARTANs someone was watching them from his large crystal ball in his office. 'Who are these kids?' Sarutobi thought and he said out loud "Kakashi!"

A puff of white smoke suddenly appeared in front of Sarutobi.

"Hai, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi stepped out of the smoke. He was wearing his ANBU uniform.

"Bring me Naruto and his two friends," Sarutobi said without looking up. "Oh and capture the ninja from that mob that disobeyed the law that I have set."

"Hai, Hokage-sama," Kakashi said as he disappeared into another puff of smoke.

Tyler made it to the waypoint where their hiding spot was going to be. It was another alley (A/N: figures) but was much bigger than the last alley he had been in. This one was actually an intersection of two alleys.

Tyler set the blond kid up against the wall to get a better look at him. His blond hair was a mess, spiking up everywhere. 'How does he comb his hair that way?' Tyler thought. Tyler bent over to get a better look into the kid's face. He had deep sea blue eyes that would make any girl Tyler knew go crazy. The boy also had three whisker marks on each cheek.

"You okay kid?" Tyler asked.

Still startled, the kid leaned back against the wall and stammered "Y-yeah." He was actually thinking something else 'He looks bad ass, better not piss him off.' "Thanks for the save back there," he continued.

"Don't thank me yet, we still have to get to a safe spot as soon as my partner shows up," Tyler replied.

"You called?" Robert said from behind Tyler.

The kid jumped a little when he saw Robert.

"What took you so long?" Tyler said raising an eyebrow looking at Robert.

"Oh, I found a holster for the claymore. Check it out!" Robert pointed to his back where the claymore now rested in its new 'Home'.

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU DIDN'T FIND A ESCAPE ROUTE YET!" Tyler yelled back.

"No, I did but I don't think you're going to like it," Robert said as he waved his finger back and forth at Tyler. Robert turned around and headed in to another alley, "Follow me."

Tyler was to the right of blond kid that followed Robert when he came to a manhole cover. "Here it is," Robert said.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Tyler and the kid said in unison.

Robert turned around "Nope" he said with a smile. He kicked up the edge of the cover with his left heel causing it to flip like a coin. He grabbed it with his right hand and said, "Down the hole," as he pointed with his left hand.

"Are you sure there's no other way?" the kid asked.

Robert shook his head "I would have if I had more time."

The kid looked at his feet depressed, "Sorry" he said.

Robert walked behind the kid and put his left hand on his right shoulder. The kid looked to his right. Robert said "Don't be, you had no say in the matter." The blond kid smiled at Robert in understanding,"Now – down the hole," Robert said as he hit Tyler in the back of the head with the manhole cover.

Tyler lost his balance and fell face first into the sewer entrance.

"Aaahhhhhhh," THUD! Robert and the kid cringed at the sound of the impact.

"I'm okay," came Tyler's voice from deep in the hole.

The kid moved toward the hole and started climbing down the ladder. When he got to the bottom he saw Tyler still lying prone on the floor. He helped him up to a sitting position just a Robert was replacing the cover on the hole and climbing down the ladder.

"We should be safe here for now," Robert stated.

"Why in the hell did you knock me into here?" Tyler asked venomously.

"Cause I wanted to. Besides you wouldn't have come down here otherwises," Robert said with a smirk, causing Tyler's eye to twitch.

"Um, excuse me, but who are you guys?" the kid asked.

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm Robert and this is my partner Tyler." Robert answered.

"Whats up?" Tyler said while giving the kid a two finger salute. "What's yours?" he asked.

The kid gave them a sly grin and said, "I am Uzumaki Naruto, the next Hokage!"
