Naruto Of The Shadow Clones

Chapter 42 Call Of Duty: Operation Stingray: Part Two

The sun was just thinking about rising as Team Maelstrom plus Anko reached Mother Island. The four made landfall on a small beach that was about a klick (a little over half a mile) from the island's main port.

The team continued running until they entered the forest line. Once there, the group leaned against the trees in order to regain their energy while maintaining a state of alert in case they got any more surprise visitors.

Naruto created a few clones who henged into foxes and went to patrol the surrounding area.

Once that was done, he turned to Anko and said "What now Anko? Those guys are sure to have reported in by now."

Anko cocked her head as she thought before saying "Hm, normally, I'd say hang low and wait till night fall to try to sneak to Demon Island and try to take out the people at that base as quietly as possible, but that's obviously out of the question now. We're just going to have to go there now and do things the old fashioned way."

Matto smirked and said "Just the way we like it."

Naruto nodded while Heza rolled her eyes, although she had a small smirk on her face as well.

Anko got an evil grin that would have made the younger members of Team Kakashi shudder and thought 'Well it's official. I LIKE these guys!'

Naruto pushed off from his tree and said "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to go kick some Sound butt."

The rest of the group nodded and Anko got an evil gleam in her eye and said "Oh we will, trust me. But first, Naruto, can you send a message to Kakashi and tell him what happened? Also tell him to expect some Sound Shinobi if that 'demon' appears."

Naruto nodded and got out a scroll and began writing a quick message. As soon as he was done, he rolled up the scroll and bit his thumb before running through the familiar hand signs.

A poof of smoke later, Rigeoned was standing in the middle of the group looking around. Naruto kneeled down and said "Rigeoned, I need you to find Kakashi and give him this message."

Rigeoned nodded and took the offered scroll and stuck it to his side with chakra before closing his eyes and locking onto both Kakashi's scent and chakra signature. Nodding to himself once he found them, the fox opened his eyes and shot off into the forest. He was out of the Leaf nins passive senses in seconds.

Anko pushed off from her own tree as Matto and Heza did the same and said "Well, let's go guys."

The three Chunnin nodded and the group took to the trees, heading toward the side of the island where they would cross over to their objective.

Scene Change: Mother Island Main Port: Lead Ship of Payment Fleet

Kakashi was standing on the dock reading his beloved book waiting for his two charges to report in. As he turned a page, Sasuke and Sakura jumped down from nearby rooftops and walked over to him.

"Nothing to report. Everything's pretty quiet around town." Sasuke said in a semi bored tone.

"Same here." Sakura said.

Kakashi nodded but before he could say anything, a red blur appeared in front of the group causing the two rooks to go for their kunai pouches before they recognized Rigeoned. Kakashi merely raised an eyebrow before turning the page in his book again before saying "To what do I owe this pleasure Rigeoned?"
