Enter: The Elite Teams
They were all surrounded, it was almost hopeless to attack all of them. As each of them came out they were noticed as the ones with no eyes, just white. Each of them appeared except for Sakura’s. They were dark like the shadow, just as Sakura was. There was even Gaara’s, Yumiko’s, Temari’s, and Kankurou. Each of the teams of the good ninjas stood up for battle, facing their opposites. Sazaki was in great pain, but was ready to give her life to protect the village, to be known as a hero. BAM! A puff of smoke came from where Hinata was and a kunai came through the smoke. Hinata backed away trying to dodge it when two hand touched her eyes. These hands were pure black, glowing a bloody red color. Hinata fell. Neji couldn’t help but turn around. He stabbed the other Neji and ran to Hinata. Neji looked at her, and in shock jumped backwards. Hinata was now blind, no longer having the Byakugan.
“H-Hinata!” Neji and Hikaru cried.
“Don’t look back! Just fight, fight to protect yourselves!” Naruto commanded, his Kyuubi fangs shown.
“Hahahah, I’ve got all I need to return to master!” Hinata cheered and faded away.
“You are lucky! Your job is easier! I have to get a memory!” Yumiko’s elite complained, she had to take Sakura’s.
“We’ll go back for that sharigan eye of Sasuke’s!” The remainders laughed. Neji picked up Hinata with one hand and prepared his byakugan.
“Hah, you just fell into my trap. Now I can steal your eyes!” Neji ran over to Neji and tried to get his eyes. Neji dodged and dodged and finally made one quick snap to Neji’s main chakra points. Neji backed away, and then appeared at Yumiko’s side.
“Let me help you, my other is hard!” Neji complained.
“Fine, fine, hold on. You get the sorrow I get the happiness!” The two agreed. Sakura looked around in fear as the two lunged at her forehead. The both disappeared into her forehead and Sakura began screaming.
“Gah!! I can’t stand this! Attack all ready! Nevermind! Lets all attack with all our force!” Naruto called. They all appeared behind their opposites and began attacking. Naruto glowed orange as he began punching Naruto numerous times. “You may be me but you do not have my power!” Naruto mumbled in Naruto’s ear. Naruto reached through Naruto’s stomach, and Naruto quickly fell to the ground. Hikaru was being hit numerous times. Sazaki was dodging, but could not keep her eyes off of Naruto. You better not get hurt, not like Yumiko, Sazaki thought. She returned her gaze back to Sazaki.
SSSWWWOOOOSSSHHH!!! A puff a grey, stinky smoke appeared. Everyone cough by the unsightly smoke as it blew towards them. Hidden in the smoke was a tall figure in a black jacket with a mouth cover. This jacket was covered in red clouds all over it and the figure wore a large straw hat, traditional of course. His nails painted black and his feet, under his sandals, were also painted black. This man was very skinny and tall, like a noodle. He turned his hand an blew away the smoke.
“COME!! You have no need to serve Orochimaru anymore. Come or you will die along with this village,” the figure commanded, his voice strong.
“Hey! You! You are in the Akatsuki, why are you taking Orochimaru’s servants!?” Naruto asked turning to then figure. He COULD be Itachi, no, Itachi has long hair, he looks different, Naruto thought. The Elites dusted themselves off, and smirked.
“Just what we’ve been waiting for. We were already done serving that pathetic wimp of a master, we’ve already set our plans to come along with him. There was no need for him to send us an Akatsuki member for pick up,” Elite Sanosuke sighed.
“Let’s just go anyways. I mean, its not like these simpletons could ever beat us, we DO need a vacation,” Elite Hikaru added, dusting off her right shoulder. The Elite all poofed into smoke and left. The akatsuki man stood, not leaving, yet. He walked towards Hikaru, smiled with his black lips and dried her eyes. Before anybody could say anything he poofed into more grey smoke.
“Who was he? He didn’t look like anybody I’ve seen,” Sai pointed out.
“I dunno, maybe he’s new, or something,” Kiba added.
“Well, whoever he was he has an interest in Hikaru,” Kensuke smirked. Hikaru blushed and tilted her head.
“He…he seemed farmiliar…” Hikaru mumbled.
“How so?” Sakura wondered.
“I don’t know, his eyes, his lips, his face, all seem to come into my mind, like I’ve known him, seen him when I was a child,” Hikaru explained, placing a hand over her heart. She shook her head. “But that doesn’t matter, I have to go save Big Sister!”
“Okay, then, we have to set plans. I believe we should go to the sand village and visit a friend,” Neji planned.
“And who is that?” Narikawa asked.
“Gaara, numb-skull!!” Sakura yelled as she hit Narikawa in the head.
“It’s just a question!!” Narikawa cried.
“Hahah! Narikawa, you are so stupid!!” Kensuke laughed, pointing at Narikawa. He fell to the ground when Tenten hit him in the head.
“You too!” Tenten said angrily.
“So, off to go see Gaara, Temari, and Kankurou. I am betting that the Elite will be going after Sasuke rather than them, but it is good to have a kage on our side,” Iaara mumbled, quietly. He was probably trying to state it out loud.
They all left, quite quickly, for the Sand Village. As they traveled they searched for herbs and plants that could help heal wounds or sicknesses, just in case. They all got there and headed straight to Gaara’s house.
“So, who’ll go in? I mean, its not like we’re all going in!” Hiro wondered, removing his headphones.
“Well, who has the strongest voice that Gaara would listen to?” Narikawa tried to list the people. Everyone looked at Naruto and Sazaki.
“Wh-what? Why are you looking at me? Naruto yells more than me!” Sazaki yelled.
“Hey! It’s not like I want to either! Pff, let’s just go,” Naruto looked to the side, annoyed. The two walked in. First thing that they spotted was Kankurou. What great luck for them.
“Hey! Hey! Kankurou! It’s us! We have some urgent news! We need to tell Temari and Gaara, too!” Sazaki called for Kankurou.
“H-hey guys! Long time no see. So what’s this urgent news?” Kankurou asked.
“Well, is Temari and Gaara in?” Naruto replied.
“Yeah, just outside in the back,” Kankurou pointed out to a window.
“Oh! Thanks! Let’s go get them really quickly!” Sazaki rushed out the door.
“Um…I think she’ll be back…I hope,” Naruto swallowed. Sazaki came back with Gaara and Temari.
“Okay, Naruto, I’m out of breath, you tell them!” Sazaki panted. Naruto sighed and began.
“Darn! Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Sasuke got our DNA and made clones of us. But, they enhanced their capabilities so now they are attacking us, trying to steal something. I think they are trying to steal Keke Genkai, or our skills. I don’t know what they are doing with them but we all need to be protected at all times!” Naruto explained.
“So, you have come to us?” Gaara interrupted.
“Yes, you need to come with us so that we can fight. They’ve already taken Yumiko. And, we also have to save Sasuke. So will you do it?” Sazaki requested. They looked at eachother and agreed, nodding their heads. BAM!! The doors flung open.
“NARUTO! SAZAKI! THE-THE AKATSUKI!!” Calnima cried, out of breath. Her bright green eyes seemed shocked.
“What Calnima’s saying is that the Akatsuki have taken Sakura!” Teraki explained, trying to rush them to the door.
“What? Sakura? Sorry, we can’t explain any further!” Naruto rushed out the door.
“Gaara, Temari, Kankurou, could you help?” Sazaki asked, half way out the door. The three said yes at the same time and they left. Outside, the wind was blowing furiously. Everyone was screaming. Kensuke and Rock Lee were fighting their hearts out trying to get Sakura. Could they already be too late?
