Raptured ◈ Sasuke Uchiha

XXI

The pink haired kunoichi quickly tugged at Sasuke's arm much to his annoyance when we heard a shrill scream across the forest, then came silence. "What was that?" A scream, Sakura. Ever heard of it? I thought boredly as we ran through the forest. "Let's move fast but with more caution to our surroundings. We would be sitting ducks if we stayed here much longer." I told everyone in which they had agreed. "And also, we had to remain discreet since there would probably be a sensory type among other groups." Sasuke added which added more admiration from Sakura. "You're so cool, Sasuke-kun!" Naruto and I sweatdropped but of different reasons.

"I can't hold it much longer! I need to pee!" Naruto exclaimed, suddenly opening his zipper. Sakura quickly punched him. "You idiot! Not in front of the ladies!" I felt my palms planted on my face. What happend to remain discreet? Naruto went to the bushes to do his business. I can feel that there was trouble with these two around. "Hey guys! I just drew my name on the ground!" Naruto came out, but seemed a bit different. Sasuke's kunai flew at him, the dobe yelped. "Hey Sasuke! What was that for?!" His eyes glared. "You're not Naruto." There was a sudden disturbance with his chakra. "W-what? What are you talking about?" He turned sweaty all of a sudden. "I know that the real Naruto was right handed. How come you have your weapon holster in your left? You're a fool for trying. And besides, I know Naruto had a scar on his cheek when a kunai had whizzed at him." The fake Naruto chuckled, causing us to increase our guard. "You're so smart Sasuke-kun. I'm far more impressed."

I cringed when I watch him lick his kunai. How I wish I could unsee that one.. "Give us your scroll and we'll let you live." My eyes wandered to my surroundings. I couldn't sense anyone watching us. It was either his team mates were good or he was alone hunting us. "I feel bad vibes coming from him." I murmured, clutching at my sword. "And if we don't?" Sasuke retorted, doing a stance. "I guess I have to force you!" Large wind jutsu came at us, as objects blew away. Sakura shrieked as she flew a feet away together with me.

My eyes widened when we are about to land sharpened wood. Command T: Reduction! I stood on my ground, catching the pink kunoichi who came after. My face turned blue when she hugged me tightly. "Sasuke-kun! You saved me!" Her emerald hues quickly averted to my face much to her disappointment. "Y-you..." I quickly let go of her, causing the kunoichi to land on her butt. "Hey! That was uncalled for!" My finger went to my lips, keeping her of silence. "Sakura, stop shouting! The enemy would catch us on if we keep this up. It was their plan to separate us and try to find where the scroll was hidden among us." I hissed, whispering. "What should we do?" She asked me. "It's best if we find them as soon as possible. If anything happens to one of us, were screwed."

We jumped from higher branches in search of our male comrades. A yellow hair was seen among a pile of leaves, squirming from his hold. Sakura came down excitedly. I blocked her with my arm, shaking my head. She frowned at my decision. "They might took him as a bait. Wait for it." I whirled my kunais and let it from different directions. We heard the dobe's scream when my kunais had landed just beside him. A large chunk of log came swinging down, above his head where we should be. "Clear." I came down from the tree, seeing that Naruto had freed himself using my kunais.

We heard some sound of blades clashing near to our location. The three of us ran towards the noise. Sasuke stood with his poise remained, panting. I glanced to see a female sound ninja standing before us. Now those bad vibes I've had turned much worse. I noticed how she only glanced Sasuke with interest and now turned to me. "It seems that the predator would now began to hunt down the prey. No more playing with food." She licked her lips in delight. Disgusting. My face paled when she had attacked us, impaling her kunai at Sasuke. Sakura trembled when she charged but was next on the enemy's attack. Bright light cleared my view.

"I see." She grinned when she saw me standing, while I watched my team mates standing frozen out of their wits. "You appear stronger than you seem. You remained calm despite in harsh situations. To be able to counter my genjutsu is a feat of the Uchihas." We both glanced to see Sasuke had stabbed himself to wake from the jutsu. Sakura and Naruto had released themselves after. "You remind me of someone." She thought, glancing at me. "However, it's not you I wanted." She bit down her thumb, drawing blood, performing hand signs before pressing her palms against the earth. "Summoning jutsu!"

Our eyes widened when a giant purple snake hissed at us. She's definitely not genin, nor a chunin. I backed away from its tail, but only to find myself crashing against the tree. My back definitely hurts after that. The snake came charging down at Sasuke, causing Sakura to shout in horror. However, the dobe came down and held the snake with bare hands, the dark chakra I've sensed before had resurfaced again. He isn't just an ordinary ninja. Something buried inside him gave such powerful force.

Sasuke's face paled when he had saw Naruto stopped the huge snake in front of him. "You're not scared aren't you? Scaredy cat?" I failed hiding my grin at his comeback. The male Uchiha's voice trembled. "Ahh.. the host of the nine tails.." My eyes watched the enemy looked at him. She performed a few hand signs and quickly charged at Naruto once the snake had gone with a poof of smoke. I had to report everything that happened within this fight. My hands clenched tightly, performing the same jutsu. Command T- arggh! My chakra was depleted from using it. It seems that I could only use it once and only when I'm full of chakra.
