28 Land of Waves part 1 (1/2)
Sasuke arrived at 7am and waited for the client while Ino came just after him.She wasn't really the shy type so she started to talk to him and to her surprised he actually talked to her casually.
”Sasuke, i-i heard that Shisui was killed yesterday.I-I'm sorry but i wanted to know something.Was he killed by someone from Konoha or an ennemy from another village?”Asked Ino who couldn't look at him in the eyes.
”Shisui was killed by someone who can easily be called Konoha biggest traitor.”Said Sasuke calmly as he saw Irio and Sato walking besides Asuma, while Kurenai was running behind them.
'Traitor?Maybe he's talking about that snake guy.They talked about him in class, but i don't remember his name.
”HEY!!INO!!”Shouted Irio as he hugged her and lifted her.She blushed and clapped him.
”PUT ME DOWN!!PERVERT!!!”
”HAHAHA!!”
Sato laughed at Irio who became despressed while Ino tried to comfort him.Asuma talked with the client who arrived just after Ino, and Kurenai walked towards Sasuke.
”I must thank you Sasuke.You were the one who introduced me to Sana-Senpai, but remember....I hate you.”Said Kurenai as she walked away, leaving a bored Sasuke who yawned and stretched his arms.
'This mission ought to be truly interesting.I don't really think that only bandits will attack us.Kisame told me that a guy named Gato took control of the whole land of waves so i don't think he will only send bandits to kill Tazuna.'Thought Sasuke who shot an amused glance at Tazuna who cowered and looked away.
”Well since we're all here, it's time to start this mission.We will take a defensive formation around Tazuna, Me and Kurenai will be at the back while Sasuke will walk in front and the Irio, Sato and Ino will stay besides Tazuna.”Said Asuma while they all nodded and thus the mission started.
They walked for a whole day until they finally came across an interesting thing.A puddle of water in the middle of the road.Considering the weather it was absolutely impossible for a puddle of water to be there and as such Sasuke immediately knew that it was a genjutsu.However he decided to test his teammates and didn't say anything.They continued to walk and suddenly the puddle changed into two ninja who wore the same outfit and who had chains in their hands.
The first ninja rushed at Ino and grabbed her by the throat, using her as a shield since Irio was just about pierce him with a tanto.The second one rushed at Sasuke and tried to kill him with the chains but was quickly shocked when he saw that the boy disappeared, only to feel a sharp and cold Kunai pressed on his neck.
”Move and you're gonna regret it.If i'm not mistaken you're Meizu and the dude over there is Gozu.You're ex-ninja from Kiri, huh?You have a pretty good bounty on your heads, i saw it in the Bingo Book, maybe i should kill you and take your head as a proof of your death?”Said Sasuke which made Meizu freeze as he turned around slowly with a pleading look in his eyes.It was however only a diversion as Gozu kicked Irio away and lunged at Sasuke, the chains in his hands rotating.He launched the chains at Sasuke who jumped and did a back flip before grabbing the chain and pulling Gozu towards him.When Gozu was approaching him at full speed, he crouched which made Gozu hit Meizu right in the face and made both fall on the ground.
