Chapter 15, Another Encounter

"We did it!"

"Hey, sshh, they are people there, you know."

Everyone turned behind to where the two voices came from. It was a man in a mask? With Naruto.

Naruto was wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Naruto still wore his headband, except the Leaf Logo had been cut. His eyes were no longer the bluey-sky they alway seen, it was now bloody red. The mask man wore the same cloak and the mask was orange with a swirl and a hole for his right eye.

"If I remember correctly, I left Team 7. So I'm replaced, huh?" asked Naruto while shrugging with a dispointment and a mix of sad sigh.

"Ooo, Tobi didn't know Naruto had friends!" said the masked man who addressed himself as 'Tobi'. A small tick mark appeared on Naruto's head. "Are you saying I never had 'friends'?" asked Naruto, now cracking his knuckles . Tobi started sweating a bit and broke the tension by saying "Uh- Naruto- What about them??".

Everyone expept Sasuke and Sai had anime sweat drop. Yamato mumbled "That's no doubt Kushina's genes at work." which only the closest person to him, Shikamaru heard. "N-N-Naruto!" yelled Hinata, her faces as red as Sasuke's lost tomato.

Everyone was surprised since no one heard Hianta shouted before. Sasuke widened his eyes for a moment then said "hn". Sai was eyeing at Naruto, in his battle stance with his sword out.

Naruto looked quite surprised after Hinata shouted and shouted back "Hinata!". Tobi started giggling and talk to Naruto which no one could hear.

Hinata turned even redder then Sasuke most prized and juiciest tomato. Ino yell at Naruto saying "BAKA, LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HINATA!". "Sorry! Ino.. Right ?" asked Naruto. A tick mark appeared on Ino's head but she didn't let her anger out. Shikamaru was secretly using his shadow possession Justu on Naruto and Tobi. The duo saw the shadow coming and jump on a nearby tree's branch.

"Damn it" Shikamaru said to himself. "Why did they jump?" Sakura said, obviously not noticing the shadow Shikamaru was emmiying earlier. "Hn." guess who said that. No one bothered to explain to her since everyone was eyeing the duo. "Is Tobi famous?!?!" exclaimed Tobi, "Nah, Tobi is in a battle." said Naruto, speaking in the way of 'Tobi'.

"Um... Retreat?"

"Why not? We already done what we were supposed to do."

Then they teleported away in a flash, leaving Team 7,8,9 and 10 confused. Yamato was the only one who knew what that Justu was.
