Temporary

Chapter 16

Sasuke sharpened his eyes looking at the odd sign of blood. He scrunched in front of it and examined it.

"Naruto" He called.

Naruto had just stop from blabbering something nonsense because of the stress.

"Nani Sasuke-teme?" And he was still get used to that type of calling towards his friend.

Sasuke's eyes twitched a little.

"Baka" He mumbled. "Come here" He said seriously.

Naruto approached him and looked at where he was looking. Naruto's eyes widened as if he realized something.

"Are you familiar with this sign?" Sasuke asked him.

It was a few second before he replied.

"Ha? That's Uzum- no Uzushiogakure sign -ttebayo" Naruto replied, sounds a bit confused. "Did Karin-imoutochan did this?" He added.

"Aa.." Sasuke continue to examine. There's another sign beside the Uzushiogakure sign which is a word "scroll".

"I think Karin want us to find this scroll." Sasuke said.

Naruto looked at him. "And then?"

Sasuke stood up. "And then maybe there's something helpful thing that could lead us to Karin."

"Really? What are we going to do now? We need to go to my legendary village, even though I never lived there before." Naruto grinned.

Sasuke just nodded.

"Yosh, lets go dattebayo! We need to save imouto-chan".

"Lead the way, Naruto"

Both of them dissappeared but actually using their speed.

Its really going to take a long day.

Meanwhile somewhere else,

Sounds of the shoji door sliding could be heard. There, came out a brunette boy wearing a white robe. The man seems to be just done taking a bath.

He take a look outside around the house and then he lost in thought.

'Its almost a month, I wonder what are you doing right now, Tsuma-chan. I've send the bird to check on you but I wonder why the bird hasn't come back. I'm worried'

While he was lost in thought, another man with a formal training attire came approaching him. Even the sounds of the man's loud footsteps didn't disturb him.

''Oy, Ryuuji'' The man called him.

There were no response.

''Ryuuji!'' Once again he tried. This time with a pat on his shoulder.

Ryuuji surprised and almost kicking the man's butt. But stop when he realize it was just his friend. He sighed.

''Woa. Toshuo. Gomen..'' He said. Don't know what to say since he was deep in thought and suddenly someone made him surprise like that.

The man called Toshuo shake his head.

"I know you worry about your wife but our real competition is in four days. I'm scared that this will interrupt your concentration when we're doing the training and also the real fight with the foreign opponent." Tousho adviced.
