The Surviver of the Royo Clan

Funeral

We found are way to the Katabamis Gold Mine were we were now hidding behind dirt piles at the top of a near by cliff were we saw people walking from the mines to the ware house. they had farmers clothing and they had a stick over there shoulders with a net filled with rocks on each side. around the warehouse there were people in robes watching them. I hid next to Neji who was to my right talking to Naruto about him getting carried away or something I wasn't paying attention to their confersation, my attention was on a guy wearing a robe. He was yelling at the workers to Hurry up. An elderly man walked out of the mine and he tripped and fell.

"Huh? What are you doing?! Hurry up!" a robed man said.

"I'm so sorry!" the elderly man said and he got down on his knees.

"I'm getting really mad now. I won't forgive them!" Naruto growled.

"Naruto, calm down." I said.

"We don't know anything about them yet." Neji said.

"Thats right we should listen to Neji." Ten Ten said.

"Yea, but if we don't do anyhing that poor old man is going to die!"

"Naruto, leave things to me here." Lee said as he stood up. I looked back down at the robed men and the worker.

"Hey, hey. Hurry up and pick them up!" a robed man said then he laughed until lee jumped infront of him and punched him in the gut. he then ran at two more robed men and ounched the first one in the gut then he kicked the second one in the back of the head. Lee turned towards us and he waved while Naruto was congratulated him. We jumped down from were we where hiding and we stood behind Lee.

"Oh my gosh! What have you done?!" the old man said and naruto handed him a cantine filled with water but the old mine swiped it away with his hand.

I Beg you. Please punch me, kick me. Please knock me around like the way you just did with those guys. If you don't do it I'll do it my self" the old man said and he started punching and slapping himself in the face until Lee stoped him.

"I'm scared. just think what they'll do if they knew I was the only one safe." he said and then a gone went off and he yelled.

"What was that?" I said.

"Did they find us?" Ten Ten said.

"Oh my, thats the funeral bell."

"Funeral?" Neji asked.

"Yea. Raiga, the boss of the Kurosuki family wich rules this town, arranges a funeral for those who betray him. He buries them alive."

"What? They bury them alive? That's so cruel!" Ten Ten Said shocked.

"Yea but... Raiga always cries sadly during the funeral."

"That's one weird guy." Naruto exclames.

"But. That doesn't seem to be the sound of the bell for you." Neji said.

"Yeah, I heard that Rokusuke was caught this mourning, so..."

"What?!" naruto yelled at the old guy.

We ran to the nerby cemenarty and hide behind some graves. we watched as a group of robed men carry a coffin to were they wanted to burry it.

"Okay! Let's save the guy! Neji, Marrissa!!" Naruto said and me and Neji activated our byakungans. I looked at the coffin and saw Rokusuke. He looked scared but he was alright.

"He's alright, He's alive." me and Neji said at the same time.

"If we can get rid of the guys we can save him." Neji said.

"Okay! Lets get ride of them quickly! and we all nodded and we ran towards the funeral. when we got closer Naruto thrrew smoke bombs at them and they all jumped into a fighting stance.

"Ten Ten, Marrissa, take the right!" Neji comanded.

Ten Ten pulled out a stick and it transformed into a staff and she poke the first guy in the face then she stabbed him in the stomach to knock him out. Another guy charged towards me and I ran and kicked him in the side knocking him out. Neji activacted his gentle fist Jutsu and He put his hand on the guys chest and it knocked him out then he kicked the next guy in the face. Naruto activeted his shadow clone jutsu and he kicked a guy up in the air then kicked him down onto to other guys while saying his name. Two more guys chaarged at me from the front while another one Jumped from inside the gorund behind me and I kicked him in the side and I knocked him into the other two. Lee kicked on in the face and then charged at one who was hidding behind a headstone. Lee was about to punch him but stopped when he fell on his but and his hood fell off.

Lee reconized him and he stoped his attack. I ran up to Nruto who was at Lee's side."This is Karashi."

"The one Grandma Sansho was talking about." Ten Ten said. Karashi was waring one of those robes and he had silver his and a grayish brown hair color that was in a high poney tail with his bangs sticking out. They were talking about how he was being a traitor for working with the enemy but I got distracted and I walked a few feet away to Look at a cliff. Neji Walked up Next to me and he looked to.

"What is it you two?" Ten Ten asked us. we looked at the cliffs and I saw red eyes appeared and then disapeared and the felling of danger was in the air. I gasped and fell on my but and I think Neji saw it too because he jumped back. "What is this feeling of danger." He said.

"Whats he matter?" Naruto asked running up to us.

"We'are being watched."

"IT's probably Raiga." I said and the other three looked at me.

"Uh?" Naruto said with a dumb look.

"At the top of the cliff." Neji said and we all looked at it.

We agreed to go up there abd check it out but when we got to the top nobody was there. We stood in a line that went from the far left was Ten Ten, then Lee, Then Naruto, then Neji and then me. a fog started to roll in and it got thicker and thicker to were we couldn't see a foot in front of us. I activated my sharigan to see if I could see threw the Jutsu which it was still hazy.

"What is this?" Ten Ten asked

"Hidden Mist Jutsu, Its a specialty of th Mist Village Ninja. Kakashi told me that before the Chunien Exams Naruto and the rest of my team had fought against Zabuza and Haku and they used this same Jutsu." I answered.

"Neji, Marrissa try to find the enemy with your Byakugan or Sharigan." Lee commanded.

"I've been tyring, I can't see anything." Neji said.

"That's impossible. Evan Neji's Byakugan thats suppose to let him see 360 degrees won't work. Marrissa?!" Lee said.

"I can just barely see throw the mist but it still hard to see."

I looked up ontop of the mountain and I saw a guy standing with two swords in the air making a  blue lighting go up into the sky. thunder storms formed ahead and I heard thunder crashing and then a lighting bolt shot from the sky and it stuck us.
