I groan in pain as I opened my eyes only to see the Hidden Waterfall villagers tied up.
I try to move but found myself tied up aswell.
"Nikki, are you okay?" I looked up to Sasuke tied up and hung from a tall arc.

"Sasuke...?" I whispered.
I watch as Sasuke was struggle against the wire.
"Forget it. That's my special Murasame wire. Try Escape Jutsu unwisely, and your arms will be cut off in an instat." Murasme explain.
I looked up when I heard some screams as Sakura and children came down from the trees, trap inside a net before their were tied up aswell.
"Suien! You were once this village's top Shinobi! Why are you doing this?!" A Villager question.
"Do you intend to take over this village?!" Another one asked.
"Hah! I have no use for a rundown village like this. I want the Hero's Water." Suien said.
"Ridiculous! As if Master Shibuki will let you have it!" One Villager said.
"He's probably disposed of it by now!" Another one said.
"A leader of the village would do that. But... I'm the one who taught him the Ninja Arts. I know inside and out." Suien said.
I struggle with the ropes until an idea came to mind.
"Hey Shibuki! I know you're hiding somewhere. Come on out!" Suien called out. "Bring the Hero's Water here."
I manage to lit pointing finger and slowly burned the rope.
"Then this village will be spared further suffering." Suien called out.
"Shibuki, you wouldn't throw out the Hero's Water now, would you? If there should be another war, without that, you cannot protect the village, right?" Suien said, mockingly.
I could feel the rope slowly burn through but I was being careful, not to let it burn to much there would be a noticeable smoke.
"However...you're greatly mistaken if you think you can hide it out. If you don't hand over the Hero's Water, I'll kill the villagers here, one by one...very slowly." Suien said, threatenedly.
"Don't come out, Master Shibuki!"
"He's right!" The children warned.
"Listen to the children, Shibuki. Don't give them your village's precious Hero's Water!" I called out, taking the attention off the children.
"Ugh!" I was whipped in the face, sending me flying to my side.
"Shut up!" I bite my lipe as he keep whipping me a few more time using a water whip.
