Chapter 3
The Sound Ninja Return
"Thanks for walking me home Naruto," I said with a smile as Nerugui got the door open.
"No problem," he replied with happy ora around him.
Nerugui squeaked to let me know the door was open.
"By the way, Naruto," I called to him as I was about to walk in, "go get Sasuke and come back. The Sound Ninja are back to kill me."
Naruto's ora went from happy to worry.
"Just go all right? Just hurry up and go," I commanded.
He did as I asked him.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a dark voice asked as I entered the room.
I got a shiver down my spine. I was about to run out the door, when one of the sound ninja slammed the door shut and locked it. I then knew that I was about to be blind and dead. One of the ninja kicked me down to the floor. The door then flew open, and I hoped I knew who the people who barged in were. I knew right away who was who as soon as I heard their voices.
"Leave her alone!" Naruto yelled in anger.
"Leave my sister alone!" Sasuke yelled repetitively.
"You need to go away and leave my students alone," Iruka sensei repeated.
"Do you guys have to say the same thing three different ways?" I asked rhetorically.
"Uhhhh…" they all exclaimed while trailing off.
"Never mind," I replied.
One of the sound ninja picked me up with his arm around my throat and holding a kunai to my throat as well. He chuckled in a psychotic way.
"Leave her alone? Sorry, but we can't do that," the sound ninja with the kunai to my throat replied, "You see, she's wanted dead in the Hidden Sound Village for a horrible crime she claims she didn't commit, but our leader says otherwise. He said that she committed a murder and killed his only son, who was only six years old."
"I told you, that's not true!" I interrupted, "It was the leader who did it and now he's blaming me!"
"You better keep quiet you little brat, or you're dying right here, right now," the girl sound ninja commanded angrily.
I wanted to abject, but knowing the circumstances, I decided to keep my mouth shut. Nerugui squeaked in a quiet way so I would know where he was and that he was ready when I was. I nodded to Nerugui and Sasuke. They both nodded back. Nerugui squealed with ready–to–fight ora around him. Nerugui landed on the sound ninja with the kunai next to my throat's face and scratched his face non-stop till he let go of me. Then, Sasuke leaped up and kicked the kunai-holding sound ninja through the wall of the old building and out into some patrolling ninja. The girl sound ninja tried to strike, but Naruto got to her first. He did the same as Sasuke did with the same outcome. Iruka sensei did a shadow clone jutsu and threw the last sound ninja out of one of the windows. All the sound ninja were defeated and I was safe, along with Nerugui. I turned and thanked them for their protection.
"It's no problem LSA, just try to be more careful next time," Sasuke replied.
"I try to be careful every time, and yet, it happens anyway," I informed Sasuke.
"Change of subject," Iruka sensei stepped in, "Who wants to go out for ramin with Naruto and me?"
"I do!" I exclaimed happily.
Sasuke decided to go to. We had a great time, but now it's time to skip ahead to the chuunin exams, where the real problems began…
