Did anyone ever see the second Friday The 13thmovie? I just finished watching it sometime today (as I'm writing this), and if you don't want spoilers, don't read on!

The way Jason was in this movie really disappointed me. Of course he held up his reputation, but what I mean is the way he was designed. The only thing they got right was the fact that he had a bulbous head. He didn't have his full height, or his bulging muscles! That was just sad. He looked more like a freaking Hillbilly hick.

And he didn't have his super special awesome Hockey mask, either. Nah, he just wore a bag of some sort over his head with a couple of eye holes. Oh, and he had hair. Lots more than he usually does. At least he had his machete. Even if he used a pitchfork a lot.

And he recoiled when he was faced with an electric hand saw. That was not right! He's not afraid of anything except water! Jeez. And this is the same guy who had his fingers sliced off, and just looked down at them like "Oh, well that sucks."

Well, now I know they were pretty much experimenting and fooling around with his image before they got to where they are now. I can understand that. There's a lot of loopholes and complications here and there too.

Oh, and I need to watch/read some earlier episodes. I don't know Yamato that well, and I can't find a profile on him. Oh well.

Also, the first bit of the first killing scene of this chapter is actually based on a scene in the movie Freddy VS Jason. I love that scene. XD

Anyway, moving on!

"So I take it you're all ready to go?" Kakashi said coolly, but he was smiling behind his mask.

"You bet we are!" Naruto said excitedly. "How often do we get to escort Royalty to someplace?"

Kakashi chuckled. "I see. Well, then let's be off before it gets too dark. If we leave now, we should reach the village in a couple of hours."

"Right. Let's go then." Yamato nodded.

The rest of them all nodded in unison and they walked off beyond the gates of the village, determined and ready to complete this mission. It would be tough, but it was going to be a piece of cake for them.

As they were leaving, a couple of ANBU members were talking with a couple of the guards by the gate, in a heated discussion about a murder that had occurred earlier at the training grounds.

Naruto paused to listen, trying to catch what they were saying.

"....not sure how....with some kind of sharp weapon..."

"....Jounin....Tamahiko....Haruka.....very odd....no leads.....a lot of blood..."

".... no signs of chakra....children....footprints....no trace of anything..."

"Naruto? Naruto, are you coming?" Sakura's voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought.

Blinking, Naruto looked toward the rosette, and nodded. "Oh, yeah! Sorry, I got a little distracted. Let's go!" He turned and went to catch up with them as they went on ahead.

Kakashi and Yamato exchanged conversation as the group headed further from the village, while Sakura chatted with Lee and Neji, and Kiba was trying to get the still lazy Shikamaru to play 20 Questions with him. Naruto on the other hand, was unable to stop thinking about what he had overheard. Some kind of murder, but there was no trace, or signs of chakra having been used.

He didn't understand it, but why did it seem like such a big deal? Obviously, it was likely that it was because two jounin were murdered, and any murdered ninja was something to look into when they were no leads, and most especially when it had occurred right in their own village.

I don't get it...what happened? Naruto thought, frowning a little as he looked down toward the ground. Who could've done it? And if they had no chakra, was it really some kind of psycho civilian? But most of all, why? How?

He wanted to get in on the case and see what was happening, but he couldn't do that right now. He and his friends had a job to do for now.

Teah glanced toward Naruto, and could clearly see he was lost in thought about something. She was curious as to what he was thinking, but was pretty certain he wouldn't tell her if she'd ask. It did seem big, if Naruto was thinking so hard about it.

"Naruto, are you all right?" She asked him.

"Huh? What?" Naruto looked toward her, and smiled. "Oh yeah, I'm fine! No need to worry your pretty little head, Teah-nee-chan! I was just thinking of something."

"Will you tell me?" Teah asked with a smile.

Naruto hesitated, biting his lip. He didn't want to worry her, especially since they had to get her to and from the village safely, and he feared that her being worried would compromise the whole mission. And in case it was really just nothing big to wallow over, he didn't want to be responsible for such a thing. He knew she would be worried, since Konoha was almost a second Kingdom to her, since it was her home for now.

But then again, if he didn't warn her... Well, that was never the best idea, not being there to warn someone of danger, even at first sight. Oh well, maybe he should tell her.

"Well, on the way out, I overheard something about a murder that happened to two jounin in the training grounds." Naruto admitted. "These two ANBU guards were talking to the gate guys about it."

Teah's black eyebrows raised to her hairline. "A murder? Oh goodness...what do you think happened?"

"I don't know, I didn't catch all of it." Naruto sighed. "I just know that something happened out there, and I don't know if it's a big deal or not. All they seem to know is that the killer used a sharp weapon, and didn't have any signs of chakra. And also, no trace of the killer either."

"That's terrible." Teah frowned a little. "Well, we'll have to keep our eyes peeled and stay on guard, in case something like this happens again. We can look more into it when we get back."

"I bet I can get Tsunade to tell us!" Naruto winked at her. "Believe it!"

Teah blushed a little, looking away. "I believe it, Naruto."

It was getting later in the day, with the hour of twilight slowly approaching. So far, despite being in a public area, not much seemed to be happening.

Trying to keep in the shadows, or at least as inconspicuous as possible, Jason continued to wander about the village, searching for any potential targets, and not to mention trying to get to know the place. But of course, after probably a couple of minutes, he would forget what he was trying to do in the first place.

Passing by a Tavern that had recently opened up, a few teenage boys no older than 18 were sitting outside with cigarettes in their mouths, and bottles of beer. It was pretty obvious that they'd either used fake ID's, or had some older accomplice get in to get the Konoha Beer for them.

Smoking, and underage drinking. That was two strikes, and put together, no less.

"Hey man, look over that weirdo!" Said the red-haired one, pointing toward Jason as he was slowly approaching them. "Must some kind of drifter!"

"Aw yeah, man! Look at them clothes!" The black-haired one laughed. "I'll bet he didn't have a decent bath in a month!"

"Hey Mister Big Hockey Mask, your village called, they want their homeless freak back!" The blonde one said with a drunken laugh.

"What's wrong, tough guy? Got nothin' to say?" The redhead poked Jason on the chest with each word, even though Jason towered over all them. "What, you some kind of mute?"

Strike three.

Jason then grabbed the boy's head with both of his large, gloved hands, and turned it around 360, so that he was facing behind! It made a sickening crack, with his expression frozen in disbelief and shock. He then poked him in the chest and he fell right down like a pole.

The blonde and ravenet both gaped in shock, unable to believe what had just happened. Getting panicked, the blonde took his bottle of beer and smashed it against Jason, who in turn looked down as it happened, completely unfazed.

The raven then grabbed an iron bar laying nearby and struck Jason in the head with it. Jason slowly turned his head to look at him, and then reached out to grab the iron from his hands. Before the raven could move, the iron was shoved swiftly through his stomach, which caused him to gasp and cough up blood. But before he could do anything else, his vision was lined with Jason's large, dark boot coming right at his face. The force was so strong, it cracked his head and sent him flying.

Nervous and scared, the blonde tried to back away, throwing random objects at the Hockey masked slasher, who wasn't at all affected by them. Jason followed him, slowly drawing his machete from its sheath, the blade gleaming in the remaining sunlight.

"W-What are you!?? Oh God please don't! Please!! I gotta-"

Jason swiftly stabbed him into a nearby wall, which happened so fast that it was almost in a blur. The blonde gasped and cried out before going limp, dead. He pulled the machete out, and then turned to continue off down the street.

"HEY! You there! We saw what you did?! What's the big idea, killing our friends?!" Came a loud voice from behind.

"Yeah man, what's your problem!?"

Jason slowly turned around, facing two teenage boys who were obviously friends of the three he had just killed.

"We'll get you for that!" Said one of them.

"Y-Yeah! You ain't so tough!"

Tilting his head, Jason just stared at them, as if trying to understand them. People were so confusing sometimes.

"Yaaaah! Take this!" One of them shot a kunai at him, which stabbed him in the shoulder.

As if he were a robot, Jason turned his head and looked at the kunai, and then reached up and withdrew it with relative ease. He studied it for a moment, and then turned his attention back to the two boys, who were now hurrying off. And of course, he stomped after them, his anger level rising.

As he was chasing, a young child came in the middle of the road, and Jason stopped walking, staring down at the child and a little puppy. The child giggled happily.

"I love you, Mr. McStuffles!" He said to his puppy. He then looked up and saw Jason, and smiled. "Hey, mister! Boy, you're tall! I like your mask!"

The puppy went over and sniffed Jason's boot, then sat back and looked up at him, panting with his tongue hanging out. Jason tilted his head as he regarded them both.

"Well, see you later, mister! We have to get home now! Bye!" The child and his puppy continued off toward a nearby residential area.

Jason smiled a little behind his mask as he watched the child and his puppy walk off, but his attention was then grabbed by the two boys he was chasing.

"Good! Now let's get the fuck out of here!"

Getting back on track, Jason continued after them. One of them tripped over a discarded brick on the ground and fell over. He scrambled to keep going and get up, but Jason reached him, looking down at him with his eyes narrowing in the eyeholes of his mask.

Before he could react, Jason swiftly stepped on his body, and since he was 275 pounds of muscle, it was quite an impact. He then used his machete and slit across his throat for extra measure.

The other teen was still running, and Jason threw his machete at him with such swift, and it stabbed him right in the back in the heart. For a man with hydrocephalus, he had excellent aim.

The teen fell to the ground, dead. Jason walked over to him, and calmly withdrew his machete from the carcase, and then returned to go find a quiet and serene spot to be able to stalk his prey without being seen.

"Yes...yes...what wonderful progress!" Fujisaki exclaimed in triumph. "Jason is sure doing his job now! We'll soon be feared!"

Himetsu nodded. "Indeed, sir."

"And since he can't be killed, it's just perfect! We could not have asked for a better killing machine!" Fujisaki rubbed his hands along the crystal ball. "Good work Jason...that's it... Soon enough, we will have him move on to the Sand Village..."

His maniacal laughter echoed along the room.

Within the dark, dank depths of the Akatsuki hideout, two astral holograms were communicating inside the dark room of which the large summoning hands were located, where the extract of demons took place.

(And yes, I still spell his name "Pein". Sue me.)

The astral hologram of Pein looked hard toward the astral hologram of Zetsu. "So, you're saying there's been some murders occurring in Konoha? Any leads?"

Zetsu's hologram nodded. "We don't have a name, but it appears to be a man wearing a Hockey mask, and carrying a machete, apparently his weapon of choice."

"So you've seen him?"

"Affirmative. He doesn't have any signs of chakra, but he also doesn't seem to be fully alive, either."

"And the location of the Nine-Tails, and Long-Tail?"

"They recently left the village on a mission to the Hirenshi village."

Mulling this over, Pein nodded. "I see, I see." This was definitely something to look further into. "All right, continue to observe, and report back to me by morning. And keep an eye on that brat, Tobi."

"Understood." Zetsu said, and his astral hologram disappeared.

With a sigh, Pein's astral hologram was quiet for a few moments, trying to make sense of this whole thing. It seemed strange, and yet...

"Deidara, Casana, appear before me."

On cue, two astral holograms appeared before him. One of Deidara, and the other of Casana.

"You rang, Leader?" Deidara said dryly.

Pein ignored his comment. "I want you two to locate to Konoha, and keep an eye for the Nine-Tails and Long-Tail for when they return from the Hirenshi village. And also, even try to get a closer look at this strange character that has arisen there. He wears a Hockey mask and carries a machete."

Casana's Nentougan-laced eyes stared at Pein for a few moments. "I don't quite get why you want us to do that, but okay. We'll get going."

"Understood." Deidara agreed.

"Good. You are dismissed." Pein said.

The two holograms disappeared, and then Pein followed suit.
