1st Year in Konoha High School

Part XXI

Sasuke

I punched him in the face. "Why!? Why did you kill our family brother!?"

He took the punch, but than punched me back in the gut. "I wanted to test my strength... Sasuke."

I backed up from him. We were about 5 meters apart from each other in this dark, scary place. "You did it to test your strength?"
I gave him a despiteful look.

Itatchi was the closest person to me. I felt so upset and frustrated... that I wanted to kill him. I have tons of hate for him now. More than I could ever imagine... Itatchi... for the things you have done and the excuses you make... I can't even call you my brother...

Before I even knew it, he came up to me so quickly. I couldn't even read his moves. He pushed me against a wall and choked me. I told him, while I can barely breath, "I'll kill you Itatchi! Out of all the hate I have for you!"

He squeezed my neck harder. Is he going to suffocate me to death? I won't allow it. I tried to pull his arms off which I did, but he than punched me in the gut once again. This time, it was 10 times painful than before.

I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up. He than told me, "Brother, you don't have enough hate in you to fight me... and I think you never will." He than kicked me in the back of my head to make me unconscious. Everything was black.

Shikamaru

I was following Hinata who was following Kiba who was following Akamaru. That dog sure knows how to smell some evil. We ran into the entrance and saw two people guarding the place. By the look of their uniforms, I knew they were Akatsuki.

One guy looked like he has tons of fighting experience with all the stitching that he has in his muscles. I really couldn't see his face since he is covering it with his mask, but his eyes are really giving me the creeps. He as green eyes with an outline of red.

The other guy has white hair and was carrying a scythe with three blades on them. It looks like he is a grim reaper or something... weird...

Everybody went up to them. Kiba and Akamaru barged in to try and take them down. But the guy with he scythe cut Kiba and the other guy's stitches started to come loose. These people are not normal, they're not even working together.

I told Hinata, "Let everybody else go. Let Ino, Choji, and I take them down."

Hinata agreed and told everybody to follow her. Kiba and Akamaru than started to leave the battle scene with everybody else. Only left Choji, Ino, and me...

These guys don't show any team work what so ever. We do... the three of us have known each other ever since we were in pre school. When we were training to defeat the Akatsuki, we were working on our team work.

Our new battle formation that we made up is called 'InoShikoCho'. We began to use martial arts on him. Ino was using her blades as Choji and I were too. We all got some more weapons from TenTen earlier just incase if we needed it.

The guy with the scythe cut all of us and he took all of our blood. He than licked it. His face started to change as he did. Instead of normal human skin... his face turned black and white. I don't even think this guy is even human.

We backed away and just took in on what his power is. Ino asked him, "Who are you?"

The man with the scythe started to talk, "My name is Hidan... and my so call 'friend' there is Kakazu. There is no point in telling you, because you are going to die!"

He than started to run up to all of us. Kakazu just stand there... doing nothing. These people don't show team work at all! What so ever!
