1st Year in Konoha High School

Part XXII

Naruto

All nine of us are in a circle with chains on our arms and legs. Then there is Madara in the center of the circle. He starts talking to us.

"Now you guys are all probably wondering why I need all of you guys specifically. Well I am going to tell you before you die."

All of us started to panic when we heard that we are going to die. Some were trying to get out of their chains as others like me started yelling at him. I started to talk, "You can't kill us! Somebody is going to save everyone and you should-"

Garra blocked my mouth so I wouldn't say anything else about their secretive plan.

I nodded back at him so he would know that I would stop talking than took his hand off my mouth. Once he did, I just stared at this man that was wanting to kill us.

Madara Uchiha... You are going to be the one that is going to die.

He continued to talk, "Naruto and Garra. My people are already on there way to kill you. So you have no worries to think anyone will save you." He said in a serious manner. He didn't even give a grin. He just had a straight face on him. It was sort of like Yahiko's face. I know that impression from anywhere. It's the impression of wanting to have power.

I gave Madara an even more despising look than before. This man is a very evil dude. If he gains any power what so ever, he could rule the whole world and destroy everything that every human being has had.

He continues, "I need the nine of you because you people are the reincarnation of the nine ancient animals. If I capture you all and kill you all at once in this castle at this specific place, I will gain all the power of you nine souls and make it into one. I myself will have that soul and have ultimate powers to make the world mine." For the first time... he started to grin.

I kept trying to strangle out of my chains, but they won't come loose. Is it all over for me? It can't be! I don't want it to be over.

Hinata! Where are you!?

Hinata

Konkoro offered to be left behind. And I allowed it. I hope everybody else is alright for the people I have left. I can't believe they would all risk their lives to save him.

First it was Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji. Than it was Sai. Than it was Shino. Now it is Konokoro. I just hope they are all alright.

We just continued to find the place where Naruto, Garra, and even Sasuke are. I hope we can find them soon.

Naruto... Where are you?

Konkoro

For the first time I saw this guy. I knew exactly how he kills his prey. We have the same talent, the same power.

We use puppetry...

I took out crow, my puppet, and got prepared to use it. The other took out his puppets and than introduces himself, "My name is Sasori... you may probably know my name since we both use puppets."

I respond, "Sasori!? You're the one that created crow!? It would be an honor to see you... but I have business with you... I have to kill you."

"Not if I do that first." He gave me a straight face.

I started to move crow towards his puppets and controlled him to throw weapons at the wooded people and including him. The weapons I threw were kunai and they had bombs on them. Once it got on the puppets, they both exploded. Leaving Sasori the only one there.

I got crow ready to open his cage inside his hollow body so my puppet can trap Sasori in there. Sasori kept dodging though, because he knows what I am trying to do, but he doesn't know what I added in to crow.

I expanded crow's new wings to capture Sasori and put him in crow's cage. Than I extended all the kunai to aim at crow's holes to go through him. When it did, it hit Sasori who was inside the cage, and killed him.

Just to make sure he is dead, I built a poisonous gas inside of crow which would make him die. So I knew he was dead.

I got crow back, put him back in his bandages, and headed off to find the others.

Sai

I finally took down Hidan. It was not too difficult since he never got a sample of my blood. Before I fought him, Ino told me everything about how he becomes more powerful once he has the enemy's blood. So I kept dodging him. I than poisoned him and he finally died.

I have heard of this criminal before. Some people thought he was immortal, but I actually know the truth. He just has a disorder. If he has someone's blood, he will just go on full extent to kill the on he drank blood. It's all in his mind... it's crazy.

Once we finished off Kakazu and Hidan, we started heading off and we're trying to find the others. It's sort of difficult since this place is like a maze, but we just sticked together so none of us will run in to more trouble.

As we were running, Ino fell and everyone had to stop. I went up to her, Choji and Shikamaru behind, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I sprang my ankle. Can we take a break?" She begged.

"Just get up Ino. We have to hurry and save the others. Shake it off, it will get better." Shikamaru interrupted.

"I'll carry her." I suggested as I picked my girlfriend up bridal style and we all started to run again. Trying to find the others.

Shino

Kisame was falling to the ground all in pain. My insects finally did it. It's all over... for now. I started to head back as I than heard someone call my name.

"Hey Shino! Wait up!" I couldn't see the person right away, but I think I know who it was.

He came closer so I could see him. I was Choji. He was with Shikamaru, Ino, and Sai. I guess they won their fight too. Well that is good. I wonder how everyone else is doing.

"Hey guys! Is that you?" I heard another voice. This time it was in a different direction.

"Oh hey Konkoro!" Choji waved. "I see that you were fighting off someone too. Since all the blood that is on you."

"Oh it is actually from crow." Konkoro mentioned.

"Well it is technically you since you control crow after all." Sai added as Ino started to wake up in his hands. He looked down at her, "Oh hey beautiful." Sai gave her a warm smile.

For once, Ino started to blush. But than stopped when she remembered that they're other people around and started talking, "Oh! Hey Konkoro!" She blurted out.

Sai started to giggle, as did everyone else. Once it became silent, Shikamaru started to talk. "We need to keep moving to find the others."

"I can help with that. My insects can find our friends' scent." Shino explained.

"Alright, you lead the way Shino. Let's go!" Shikamaru commanded as everyone followed.
