Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Valley of End ❯ Is it better knowing, or not knowing? ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6-Is knowing better than not knowing?

 

“Kakashi, your team will take the left, and mine will take the right.” The group had just walked into the building. To their relief, it wasn't an open room. It was a hallway, and at the end of it, it split in two.

“All right,” Kakashi told Jiraiya, “if we run into trouble, or we find him, we'll contact you immediately.” Jiraiya nodded in return.

“Good luck everyone.” Jiraiya said.

 

 

“Hinata, we need your eyes.” Kakashi turned to her. When Hinata activated the byakugan, she started scanning all around her.

“Master Kakashi, I think that I can sense some chakra over there.” She said as she pointed straight to the wall. Kakashi looked to where she pointed, he soon had a puzzled look on his face, showing that he was thinking the situation over.

“I think that we should just continue down this hallway. Anyway, even if we end up somewhere else, at least we will know our way around this place. If we do get lost, it would be smart for us to know where we were when you sensed the chakra. So Lee I need you make a dent somewhere in the metal…but just enough that we will notice it.” Kakashi said.

“Yes sir!” Lee turned to the wall and started to move his hand forward when Kakashi said,

“Lee, try not to make any noise. We want to be hidden from the enemy as long as possible.”

Lee nodded and turned back to the wall, and noiselessly punched the wall.

“Master Kakashi,” Hinata hurriedly turned to Kakashi, “someone is coming this way.” Kakashi nodded and motioned for everyone to follow him.

They started running down the hallway as fast as they could, trying to find a place to hide. Unfortunately for them, there was none. Kakashi could tell that had been discovered; and he didn't even need Hinata's eyes for that. He could just feel it in the air. He could feel the immense chakra that was following them.

Their pathway quickly came to an end. Right in front of them was a large room. It had high ceilings, and the light was fairly dim. Covering the walls of the room were different seals. Kakashi recognized some of the seals, as binding seals. He knew that they were led into a trap.

Just when they were all inside the room, ninja suddenly appeared. They were positioned all around the room.

“Everyone, get in formation!” Kakashi knew that they were nothing compared to all of the other ninja. He knew that they couldn't win alone. But he had no other choice than to fight.

 

 

“Kiba, can you shut that dog up?! He is going to be the death of us all!” Jiraiya said. At first Kiba was angry, but then he decided to let it slide, because what Akamaru had told him was more important.

“Jiraiya-sensei, Akamaru said that we are surrounded.” Kiba, for some reason, looked a little happy at the thought.

Jiraiya turned to Kiba with an astonished look on his face.

“Are you sure that we should listen to a dog? I mean, how do you even know that he is telling the truth?”

Kiba was about to lunge at Jiraiya. Although he was stopped because Neji suddenly said,

“Jiraiya-sensei, Akamaru was right. I can see chakra getting closer to us.”

“Everyone, follow me.” Jiraiya had started running down the hallway. He knew that he shouldn't have been that careless. He knew that they would have been noticed a mile away.

“Jiraiya-sensei, they are gaining on us!” Neji yelled up to him.

Everyone started to run even faster. Until they had noticed that they were running right into an open room. I sure hope Kakashi didn't get trapped. Jiraiya thought to himself. Of course, with just his luck, when they ran into the room, he saw Kakashi's squad. They were trapped. And now, so was Jiraiya's squad.

 

 

“Jiraiya-sama, nice to see that you made it.” Came a voice from the shadows.

“Tch, what a drag.” Everyone turned to see Shikamaru standing there, with his hands in his pockets, and an annoyed look on his face.

“Ah, Sasuke-kun, I see you are here to. Orochimaru-sama will be so pleased.” Kabuto walked out from behind one of the ninja.

Right then, Sasuke's curse seal started to spread.

(Sasuke thinking)

What is this? This has never happened before. The seal is spreading on its own, and it hurts even worse than before! I feel like I am being stabbed with thousands of kunai. Wait…I am being stabbed with kunai…

(Normal)

Sasuke looked up and saw that it wasn't his curse mark that was bothering him. It wasn't even spreading. But when he looked back at Kabuto, he had noticed that his voice (Kabuto's) wasn't even the same. It was…his brother's voice.

“Brother, I am disappointed that you let your guard down that easily.” Kabuto disappeared in a puff of smoke, and in his place, stood Uchiha Itachi. “Really, would have thought that since the last time we saw each other, you would have gotten stronger.” Itachi walked over to Sasuke, with a smile on his face. “I mean, if you had actually gotten better, then you would have known that when you first got here, you should have had your sharingan activated. You should always have your sharingan activated when entering unknown-potentially dangerous-territory. Heh, if you did have your sharingan activated, then you wouldn't have been effected by my mangekyou sharingan. Really brother, your disappointing.” Itachi looked down at Sasuke and smirked.

(Sasuke's POV)

He's right. Maybe I haven't gotten stronger. Although you shouldn't always have your sharingan activated, I guess you should when you are expecting enemies to be around. I didn't even think about it. I let my emotions for rescuing Naruto cloud my mind.

(Normal POV)

Jiraiya interrupted Sasuke's thoughts.

“Itachi, this doesn't make any sense.” Itachi looked over to Jiraiya.

“Oh, and what is that Jiraiya-sama?”

“Why are Orochimaru's ninja here, if you and some Akatsuki are here? You two are enemies!”

“Yes, it is true that we are enemies. But we had to ignore that little detail. You see, we were both planning on capturing Naruto-kun. Of course, we also knew that neither of us could control Kyuubi's power alone. So, we decided to work together on this mission.”
