Chapter 2
"This is so boring."
"Yes, yes it is my friend."
Taking their usual, mundane rounds at their post were two leaf shinobi, Marususa and Obitan. The cause of their conversation was due to the fact absolutely nothing was occurring. The two sat on their stools, resting their heads against the rough texture of the post's counter. It was poorly constructed, uncomfortable to sit on as they waited for hours and hours, ten to be exact, keeping their eyes peeled for anyone who stepped through the village gates to enter.
Unfortunately, this job was not the most enticing, for it was long, silent, and overall unappealing. Still, every ninja had to do it.
But while Marususa and Obitan groaned over their position, two shadows stretch along the gate entrance, creeping into the streets. And as it crept closer, the Leaf shinobi stirred from their post, ephemeral boredom now dissipating.
"Ah, what a lovely day for anarchy, don't you think Alice?" a voice boomed from the silence there once was.
"Absolutely." Another replied.
"The hell…" Obitan muttered confused, lifting his head up in response to the disturbance. The two mysterious figures invaded from the dark nonchalantly. Their eyes did not linger on Obitan or on Marususa in any way, for they were fearless. Marususa notice the pair and straightened his composure, mouth forming a tight line. E felt a weary shiver run through him, but he swallowed down the feeling and spoke, a little feverish.
"Do you two have authorization by the Leaf to trespass on the grounds?"
It was then Thaddeus and Alice Collins turned on their heels and stared full on at the men. Obitan's eyes widened when he saw their intimidating faces. Thaddeus' snake like tongue flicked out at him, eyes narrowing under thick black rimmed glasses. Alice smirked, her eyebrows raising her dark, raccoon like make up.
"Wha—what village do you come from?" Obitan asked in a whisper.
Suddenly, Thaddeus and Alice let out bellows of laughter, almost on their knees trying to regain composure. Face reddening, Thaddeus turned to his partner, wheezing.
"Did you hear that Alice? They want to know what village we come from! Ha!"
Alice let out a happy sigh, dabbing the lids of her eyes to wipe away tears that sprang out because of her outburst. "I know Thaddeus." She giggled. "What a joke!"
The Leaf shinobi were stunned, faces turning crimson with anger upon being insulted.
"Who are you two? I want answers, now!" Marususa yelled, smacking his arms down onto the counter of his post.
"Yeah and why have you come here?" Obitan added.
The animal tamer and puppeteer came to a closing with their jovial mood and began to give a steely glare at the leaf shinobi. Without another pause, Alice Collins lifted her arm, revealing her pale hand. She created a fist with such force that it shook the village gates, knuckles turning even paler than before. Then, the leaf shinobi put their hands over their ears, for a horrific sound of bone attacked their ear drums tenaciously.
The sound was due to exactly that reason, and after a few seconds of unpleasant noise, Alice's fist had become spiked with sharp, hardened bone.
"Time for your turn." Alice said, turning her head to her partner.
Thaddeus smiled and outstretched his arms, chakra strings streaming from his finger. With a blur of movement, the creaks of wood became an all out dance. The Ringer jumped from Thaddeus' back, whipping forward in bizarre, erratic steps. The Ringer moved its 360 degrees, its wooden jaw opening to reveal razor sharp metal teeth.
Meanwhile, the Leaf shinobi stood back in fear, speechless.
"Now now, little children.' Thaddeus said, raising the Ringers arms just a little, showing its claws to intimidate them. "We don't want to hurt you, so long as you let us have our fun."
"We only want a little adventure while we wander through your streets. We'll go off on our merry way… no harm done." Alice casually responded, though her last words seemed fishy to the Leaf guards.
Marususa looked helplessly at Obitan, and received the same look back. Before they could even turn their attention back to the duo, it had seemed the pair had vanished completely.
End of chapter.
Yes I know I haven't quite gotten to any good parts, but trust me I have chapters prewritten so I can update sooner and get to more interesting parts. The next chapter includes a little bit of temari and Kankuro, the following has a funny brawl between Naruto, Lee… and a pair of scissors… let's just say things don't end well ;)
Well, that's all for now!
