The Light That Seeps Through the Trees

Chapter 34: Kidnapping Part 2

"I'll protect them!" Iruka yelled as Himawari and Kenzo battled the ninjas attacking them. Himawari used her ninjato to slice off the head of her attackers. Kenzo stood still using his mangekyo sharingan to put his attackers under a genjutsu. Himawari used the opportunity to push the ninjato through their hearts.

Iruka fought his way to where Himawari and Kenzo had sensed Kato, Natsuki, and Tami. He managed to defeat the ninjas guarding the door. The room he entered was completely white. It had weird machines he had never seen before. He saw the three bodies resting on top of three steel tables.

He disconnected the tubes that bounded them allowing them to wake up immediately. "Sensei..." Natsuki mumbled weakly.

Iruka smiled, "it's okay now. We came to save you all."

Kato did his best to stand up from the table. He managed to stay up on his two feet. Tami barely managed to sit up.

"Now, what do we have here?" A voice suddenly asked.

Iruka froze as he was helping Natsuki off the table. He rushed and stood in front of the three ninjas. Iruka looked over the orange haired man. He looked around his age. By the appearance of the man Iruka knew he did not stand a chance but he would fight to the end.

"Who are you?"

The man shook his head clicking his tongue, "the same question, over and over again. As I've said before soon you will know. But for now that doesn't matter. You are taking something that belongs to me."

"They do not belong to you"

A creepy smile appeared on his face, "they belonged to me the moment I set my eyes on them."

Iruka gulped and got ready to fight, "you'll have to get through me first!"

"With pleasure"

Before Iruka could react his hand had expanded and gone straight through his chest. He man lifted Iruka's body up slowly. Iruka's blood dripped slowly staining the perfectly shiny white floor.

The three other ninjas watched horrified as their Sensei was murdered before their eyes.

"Super beast initiating drawing" Sai drew quickly onto his scroll making three lions emerge and lunge forward. The man threw Iruka's body towards the lions making them disappear.

"You have underestimated me!" The man yelled in anger. He launched himself against Sai. Sai swiftly moved and landed in front of the three ninjas in a protective stance.

"You're a fool if you think you can stop me" in a flash the man grabbed Sai by his collar lifting him into the air. "You leaf ninjas love to turn me into the bad guy, making me take lives."

Sai simply moved his head to one side slightly smiling, "you underestimate me."

Two gigantic humanoids appeared emerged from a scroll on the floor behind the man. The man threw Sai and went to get rid of them.

Sai swiftly landed on his feet racing towards the ninjas. He took out his scroll, "ink mist."

He wrapped it around the three of them and did a couple of other hand signs.
