Our Journey (Sasusaku)

Chapter 7: "Mischief"

Chapter 7: " Mischief"

        It has been 4 months of stay in Suna. Sakura had been busy with her duty and mission. She had always been known as a hard worker. The construction of the medical facilities and clinic was almost finished. Sasuke would often do his personal mission in other dimensions when Sakura insisted on not sticking around too much with her. She knows that standing around or following her like a dog really bores him.

       Sasuke looked around in the new dimension he entered. This one is a new place. Since after the war, Sasuke started investigating  Kaguya's dimensions to get some leads about the goddess.

     The place was surrounded by huge dead trees. They were almost similar to baobabs. They have a white broad trunk and have been scattered around the area.

"This place probably used to be dense vegetation of a jungle." he took one of the lifeless branches from the ground and kept it inside his bag. He then returned to Suna.

       He got so busy checking around the place he had seen from the other dimension that he forgot to track time. It was almost past dinner time. He often eats alone and refuses to join Sakura and her medical staff. Most of them were female medics and would always giggle whenever they saw him.

     He decided to enter one of Suna's little restaurants in the marketplace and ordered food. He was silently eating alone when a man approached him and sat in front of him. Another one stood beside him.

"You jerk what are you doin' here? I've never seen your face here before...where are you from?" asked the man in front of Sasuke. The man doesn't have a ninja headband, he has a crooked nose, and he wears baggy pants and a dirty red vest. Around his back wraps a rugged big bag. The man beside him didn't have a headband as well, he was a small and thin guy, had face paint and a little dirty bag on his shoulder.

     Sasuke didn't respond, he continued eating his food.

"Hey Kakutasu this guy is with the pink-haired ninja from Konoha!" shouted the man beside them.

"The little slut who killed Master Sasori? Are you really with her?" asked the man in front of Sasuke.

      Sasuke clenched his fist but he didn't answer.

      The man in front of him got annoyed with Sasuke's silence so he slapped Sasuke's food away from him. The food was scattered around the floor and the other customers started to get worried. Some waiters tried to approach but stepped aside when they saw the man sitting in front of Sasuke.

     Sasuke stood from his chair, "Let's bring this outside." He went out of the restaurant. The two men followed him.

     When they were outside the restaurant, another group of men joined the guys. They also have rugged bags behind them.

"Who's this idiot? I've never seen him before!" asked one of them. He was a stout, dark-skinned man and wearing an old turban around his head.

"He is with the whore from Konoha the one that killed Master Saso..." The small thin guy was not able to continue his words. He lay on the ground and started to have a seizure. His eyes were rolling and he was drooling.

"Genjutsu!" screamed one of them. They looked back at Sasuke and were surprised to see his right eye turned red. It's flashing like a fire in the darkness.

"This is Uchiha Sasuke!" cried one of them.

    The guy with baggy pants and a red vest smirked. "How fortunate! Who would have thought that we have Uchiha Sasuke here? Let's forget about the pink hair whore and let's focus on this one. His eyes are worth the money, enough to buy a country. What more if we have his entire body!"

   They put their bags on the ground and unzipped them. They pulled out scrolls from it and made hand signs. An army of puppets appeared in the air. Strings of chakra were attached to them so the group of men could manipulate them.
