The Jinchuriki Brothers

5~ Training, Searching, and "Research"

The Next Day

We met pervy sage early the next morning. He explained to us that we will be going on a training mission, and we'll be searching for one of the other sanin, Tsunade, at the same time.

"But pervy sage, why can't we just train," Naruto complained.

"Because, Naruto. She might be able to help heal Lee, remember," pervy sage replied with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Let's just go Naruto. We'll still get to train, so it'll be fine." I said.

"Ughhhh, fine." he reluctantly complained, but agreed.

"Plus we could also do some research on the way," pervy sage added.

Me and Naruto yelled in unison, "you're such a perv!"

He ignored us, and we headed off. We went from place to place searching for Tsunade. Each time we got just slightly closer. 

Along the way, Jiraiya taught us the basics of the rasengan. Naruto was a natural immediatly, but I couldn't seem to do it. I was really dissapointed.

One night, we decided to stay the night at an inn, and pervy sage went off to do "research".

After a few hours, there was a knock at the door while me and Naruto were training. He walked up to the door, and opened it, thinking it would be Jiraiya.

"Who are you?" I heard him ask.

I walked over to the door, and looked out. There were two people I'd never seen before in black cloaks with red clouds on them.

One had gray hair and carried a giant red scythe and a grass village headband around his neck. The other had a bandana like thing around his mouth, something wrapped around his head, a hidden waterfall village headband, (I think) and red and green eyes.

I don't know why, but I immediatly didn't trust them. I backed away from the door slowly, and advised Naruto to do the same. But him being him, he didn't listen, and stepped closer.

"What do you guys want?" He asked.

"You two," the one with the scythe replied.

"Why do you want us?"

"Let me rephrase that, we want the tailed beast inside of you. Now you can come with us willingly, or we'll have to take you. Your choice."

Naruto looked back at me. I nodded at him.

"Not a chance," I said.

I transformed into my one tail from, and Naruto did the same.

"Guess we're doing this the hard way," the one with gray hair said as he readied his scythe. He turned to the other guy, "Kakuzu stay out of this, it's my fight," he demanded.

The other man, Kakuzu, stepped back. We stepped in the hall, and prepared to fight.

I ran up to him, and attempted to punch him in the face. He dodged me, and kicked me against a wall. My left leg got stuck in the wall, and I was sure it was broken.

He charged at Naruto swiftly, scythe at the ready. I freed my leg, and jumped in front of Naruto, and blocked with my sand, but he managed to cut my leg slightly with the tip of his scythe.

He jumped back, and started laughing madly, and said, "now the real fun begins."

He stabbed himself slightly with a kunai, and drew a strange symbol on the ground with the blood. He then took the scythe where he cut me, and licked the blood, making his body change color to resemble a skeleton.

"Now let's test it out." He said as he took his scythe and made a long slice down his right leg. 

I screamed as the same spot where he cut on himself started searing with pain. I fell to the ground, with both my legs being injured. 

He took his scythe, and stabbed himself in the stomach, and as he did, I screamed again. My vision started going black at the edges. I fell onto my side, unable to move. The last thing I remember before passing out was Naruto yelling my name.

Cliffhangers once again >:D. Deal with it losers! Also, I'm going to start making the chapters a bit shorter, and changing my writing style a bit, so bare with me please. Anyways, thanks for reading. Have a good day/night. You are worth it. Believe it! <3
