Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ We're Back! ❯ Trap! ( Chapter 20 )

AN The last chapter was pretty exciting, huh? Did you guys figure out (or care) who the man is? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter. Again, I am so sorry that it has been taking me so long to update. School takes up most of my time. As I am sure that most of you can understand that. Oh yeah, I have not forgotten about “I Hn You” I am working on that next chapter on that story, too. Any way, back to the ninja madness.

 

Disclaimer I don't own Naruto. If I did Sakura would cut of Karin's head and put it on a steak. Down with glasses-wearing whores!!!

The morning light beamed over the stone village. The Konoha ninjas prepared themselves for the ambush. They kneeled down in a circle as Neji went over the attack plans.

 

“Alright,” the ANBU captain said. “Let's go over the plan one more time. Hinata-sama and I will go first to see how many guards are there. Then when we give the signal the rest of you will follow. Understand?”

 

The ninja's nodded in agreement.

 

“But Neji, I want to be close to Hinata-chan,” The ramen lover whined.

 

The Hyuuga's eyebrow twitched. “Naruto,” Neji tried to sound calm. “You can spend time with Hinata-sama after the mission,”

 

“But…”

 

“Naruto, stop being such an idiot. Just do what Neji tells you to do, so we can go home to the kids!” Ino raged.

 

Naruto pouted. “Whatever, I don't know why you are so worry about the kids. They are with Hanabi-chan. They are fine, right Sakura-chan?” He waited for answer, but none came. The blonde turned to face the young woman.

 

“Sakura-chan?” he asked again.

 

The emerald eyed beauty was in her little world. Her mind was filled with waves of mixed emotions. Was she nevrous about the mission? No, she is a trained ninja; they do not fear death. At least, that was the big lie the teachers tried to filled their little heads with any way. No, this feeling was greater than the fear of dying. Something in the pit of her stomach told her something was wrong in Konoha. What could it…?

 

“Sakura.” Sasuke's stoic voice startled the woman.

 

“Sakura,” he repeated. She looked into his eyes. “What's up?” She shook her head. “Nothing, Sasuke-kun. Nothing at all.”

 

Sasuke knew that Sakura was lying. Whatever was wrong with her must've had something to do with what happen last night. But Sasuke did not feel like pressing the matter further.

 

“Hn,” he replied.

 

Neji cleared his throat. “Now are we all clear on the plan?” The group nodded. “Good, let's go!” And with that the ninja's disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Kakashi ran with lighting speed. He wondered if the twins were still alive. It had been two hours, and Kakashi still had not heard from the nin-dogs. Maybe all of the blood and smoke covered up their sent. If that was the case, he would have to wait a few days for the wind to blow all of the smoke away. By then it could be too late.

 

“HOWL!!”

 

A loud howl reached Kakashi's ears.

 

They found them! I must hurry!

 

The copy-nin changed directions and followed the sound of the nin-dog.

The sliver haired man finally reached the site. He saw Pakkun and the nin-dogs in a circle.

 

“Pakkun.” the little dog faced Kakashi.

 

“Where are they?”

 

The nin-dog did not say a word. He just turned his head back to the ground. Kakashi did not want to, but he made his way to the circle. His heart rate increased with each step he took. Finally, he reached the circle. His eyes widened in horror. There on the ground were shreds of the twins' cloths. One of them was a piece of the Uchiha symbol covered in blood.

 

“No!” Kakashi tried to conceal his pain. “It can't be!”

 

Pakkun sighed. “We think one of the giant lizards got a hold to them,” he said with sadness in his voice. “There are lizard prints all over the place.”

 

Kakashi balled up his fist. This could not be happening. They could not be dead. They were just kids! Sanosuke and Funaho were not even ninja. The two should not have died like this. He could not believe this.

 

“Are you sure, Pakkun? Is there anyway this could be a mistake?” His head pricked up.

 

“No.”

 

Kakashi lowered his head. “I see,” he sighed heavily.

 

He knew he would have to break the news to the others. This was something Kakashi did not look forward to doing. Breaking the news of a love ones death was heart breaking, especially when it was children. He could not bear the thought of seeing Sakura cry. Over the years, he had seen her cry so many times. How would she take the news? Would she kill herself? And what about Sasuke? Would he go on another quest for revenge? Theses questions ran thought the Jonin's mind over and over again. He bent over and picked up the cloth with the Uchiha symbol on it. A single tear ran down his cheek. The nin-dogs looked at their master. Then, they raised their heads and started howling. It was as if they were singing a death song for the fallen Uchihas. Kakashi sighed again. Then he headed toward the shelter.

Hinata and Neji went first to scout the area while the others waited for the signal. The two Hyuuga's used their blood limit to see though the building.

 

“It looks like the Kage is in there,” Neji whispered to Hinata.

 

“Yes,” she replied. “There are two ninja guarding him. They do not appear to be that strong,” she added.

 

Neji nodded.

 

“Should I make the signal?” she asked.

 

“Yes,”

 

“Ok,”

 

Hinata pulled out a scroll from her left pocket. Then she opened it. A whirl of smoke appeared. When the smoke disappeared, a bird was sitting in the middle of the scroll.

 

“You know what to do,” she told the bird. It chiupped in response. Hinata smiled under her mask.

 

“Now go!”

 

The bird spread its tiny wings and flew off to the other ninjas.

“Man,” the blonde complained. “They've been gone for a long time.”

 

Ino sweat-dropped. “Baka, they have been gone for five minutes!”

 

“Five minutes IS a long time!” he shouted.

 

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. “Naruto be quiet, we are supposed to be looking for Hinata's signal.”

 

He put his hand behind his head and scratched it. “Oh yeah, I forgot.”

 

Ino sweat-dropped. “Naruto, you are such a baka!”

 

“I am not a baka you…”

 

“Dobe, shut-up!” Sasuke interrupted him.

 

Naruto narrowed his eyes. “I will not shut-up, teme!”

 

Sasuke glared back. “Naruto, if you had a brain you would realize that Hinata has sent the signal,”

 

Naruto looked up in the air. He saw the little bird circling them from above. He laughed nervously. “I guess it's time to go then, huh?” The ninjas shook their heads and dashed off to meet Hinata and Neji.

“What took you guys so long?” Neji harped.

 

“Sorry captain, Naruto was acting like a total idiot,” Ino replied while giving the young man a death glare. “And we missed the signal.”

 

Naruto pouted and crossed his arms. “Pig,” he whispered under his breath.

 

The blonde woman growled. “I heard that you…”

 

“Stop it both of you. You two are going to let the enemy know we are here,” Hinata warned.

 

The blondes lowered their heads. “We're sorry.”

 

“Now let's get down to business,” The Hyuuga male said.

 

“Ok,” said Shikamaru. “What's the plan?”

 

Neji smirked under his mask. “That's what you are here for.”

 

Shikamaru groaned. “How troublesome. Okay, what is the situation?

 

“There are two ninja guarding the Hokage. They do not appear to be very strong,” The lavender haired woman replied.

 

“Only two?” the genus cocked an eyebrow. “You would think there would be more than that,”

 

“What are you saying?” Sasuke asked. “Do you think it is a trap so we will let our guard down?”

 

“Probably.”

 

“Than what should we do?” Tenten inquired.

 

“Let me think for a sec.” Shikamaru got into his famous thinking position. A few minutes later he looked up at the group.

 

“Okay,” he said. “Here's the plan. We surround the building. When I say go, we will enter at all sides. Just incase the enemy has any hidden traps. Then I will use my shadow possession to subdue the guards. Sakura and Sasuke will rush in from behind me and grab the Hokage. Finally, we get out of there as fast as we can, got it?”

“Yeah, no problem!” Naruto gave Shikamaru thumps up.

 

“Okay, let's do this!”

 

The ninjas surrounded the tower.

 

“Go!” Shikamaru yelled.

 

All of the ninja flooded into the tower. But to there surprise, the building was totally empty.

 

“What's going on?” Tenten yelled.

 

“Yeah I thought you guys said the Hokage was in here,” Naruto added. “Maybe you two need to get your eyes checked,”

 

Neji narrowed his eyes. “The Byakugan does not lie!”

 

“Sniff…Sniff, hey what's that smell? Sakura asked.

 

“Its gun powder!” Tenten screamed.

 

“BOOM!!!”
