Kankuro froze, as he heard someone shout that his village was under attack. Spinning around, he couldn't see anyone new. "Maybe I'm losing it..." He spun around and charged for Death again, he had managed to hit Death in the chest a few times. "Well, looks like Death is about to meet his death." Kankuro said smiling.
Gaara didn't care that his village was under attack. No skin off of his back. Let them die. Let everybody die. He'd probably kill everybody anyways. He was attached to no one. Kankuro and Temari, his older siblings, did not even matter to him. They were worthless slabs of meat bound by lies and treachery. they thought of him as a monster. And he was a monster. One day he'd kill them too. He loved no one. He loved only himself. And he fought only for himself. He continued to attack Itachi. He sent more sand shuriken at him and the scratched at the uchiha's skin. Gaara smiled as blood spillt. He probably wouldn't have been able to beat Itachi by himself, but Kankuro and Neji were there. He could care less if they died. And now this "Cassie" person was telling him to save people. He'd kill her too for assuming he'd help. The only thought on Gaara's mind was to kill. And that's what he was going to do.
Neji was attacking Death with Kankuro. Neji was fighting him from behind as Kankuro was hitting him from the front. He jumped backward and threw a shuriken into his back, cutting him slightly. Neji jumped into a tree and looked back. It was his time to escape. He looked back at the idiots fighting and smiled. Then jumped into the trees.
Originally posted by ChaosbarkShe had nearly screamed her heart out when she saw the kunias, just barely miss her head. Gasping for air she jumped back into reality. " Thanks. I'm in worse shape then I realized........ normally I could save myself from all of these things, but I guess the fact that my students are in danger is distracting me." Nighshade brought herself back up and looked around, trying to ignore the rats. Having her eyes closed wasn't such a good idea, as she began to walk. "Sorry if I'm making you feel uncomfortable. I'm just not much in trusting someone I was sent out to kill, you could always get rid of me at any moment to asure yourself I wouldn't try agian." She smiled at Kakashi as she returned to faceing the directions they were walking.
A brief chuckle would emerge from him as she basically bumped into him a few times. Seeing her finally gain enough courage he remained keeping the mask tightly wound along his features. Curved slits staring now and then at a few movements he would gradually become more aware on how the wound of Nightshade's was handling. That would be when he noticed the rope as well. She was basically walking straight into a trap. Gripping her under her armpits he pulled her back wards just as a chord break sounded. Seventeen kunai became implanted inches from where they had both stood. Getting himself up he pulled Nightshade to her feet as well. He didn't bother dusting her off feeling rather beared down at the moment by this woman.
Kakashi briefly heard someone yell that a village was being attacked. He had also noted the name Gaara being said as well. So, that would only lead to the assumption that the Sand Village was under attack. So, whoever these nin were they seemed to be wanting to get their plans under way. They had assumed their little assasin wouldn't have failed but mistakingly they had faulted. Steal something of deep value from some one would be one of the biggest objections in the world. Black mail was indeed to much of a dangerous business. He repositioned the fox mask lightly as he grew somewhat objected to the fact he couldn't read his book. "It's a shame really. The whole lighting is a bum. I could read my new book." He continued quietly walking deeper into the dungeon the brief noise of battle filtering his senses. There was indeed a fight going on and the Copy Ninja himself would be there shortly. Another trap activated ropes this time. He had moved in front of Nightshade to assist in destroying these things. The rope pulled him up by his foot just as three well placed large shuriken came spinning towards him. Arched ones, this wouldn't be easy to dodge. Curving his back in an arch he felt the first one whizz by slamming into the wall. The second one moved as well when he tilted his back to the left. It skidded along his fest just slightly hitting the floor. The third hower got a good inch along his shoulder blade coming to a sickening stop. A few drops of blood slowly started as each hit the floor. Kakashi grunted lightly grabbing the blade from his shoulder wrenching it. Cutting the bound on his foot he hit the floor getting back up. He would then fold the large shuriken actually pocketing it. No need to wast such instruments. At that he would merely grab his shoulder blade. "Well, that was somewhat bad. Let's keep going. I think we are getting closer to are designation."
She hasitated as all of that happened infront of her. Nighshade mowned as she knew she was to slow to help him at the moment. Kakashi was pretty much fighting alone while she was at his side. It made her a tad angry she was much of no help. Nightshade began to walk agian watching the walls and the floors. There were way to many traps in this place and hadn't senct one yet, as she walked beside Kakashi. She morphed into her panther form as it was the best choice for this dungeon, she would be able to hear every creek every voice and every word from anything.
Kakashi kept rubbing his arm lightly blood seeping on the floor. Not a very dangerous amount but he was glad Nightshade had turned back to her previous form of the panther. He had a question though as he continued walking. "Nightshade, don't mind me asking, but could you teach me to transform into an animal? It seems like a beyond fantastic jutsu." He as well was keeping eyes out for traps but it didn't look like he was. It just seemed he was having a ball chatting. He would have to remove the bandage covering his eye pretty soon though.
Kakashi turned sighting Sasuke and Sakura. Apparently they had most likely been sent to assist. This wasn't a mission for them though. It was S-ranked and they were merely genin training. He eyed them carefully before letting off a cold tone. "Sasuke, Sakura, where would Naruto be? Find him and go back to the village. This would absolutely be no place for you. I will be with you three shortly."
(Kakashi isn't really out in the open. Plus, he is in ANBU uniform so his identity probably wouldn't be guessed so easily. So, we have a few problems here. Kakashi is also with Nightshade along one of the lower dungeon levels that seems to be riddled with traps. So, two genin might not be able to pull off such a stunt of finding someone that they probably couldn't tell the identity of let along make it through traps. As for this Cassie person I doubt she would know where Kakashi is either. Sorry if I sound like an *******.)
Nightshade was nerly about to bit the 2 students heads off until she realized they knew Kakashi. Eyeing them for a second she continued her convesation with Kakashi. "Sure I'll teach you, if your ready to trian for three years with no comunecation to others but me, and you really want this justu so much that your willing to get rid of that magic eye of yours You can't have both, cuz then your jutsu's will be currupted." She looked over at the students agian who probobly had no idea a panther could talk and had no idea what they were talking about.
He listened quietly to the woman as she spoke. He passed a glance at his students as well once and a while. He had mastered over one-thousand jutsu. Learning one more at the cost of his Sharingan would be somewhat foolish. Though, he would be more efficient yet he would lose the trade mark. Yet, why shouldn't he? This was no place to discuss such things as he turned his back. "Sounds good." That was all he said before moving again down the dungeon hall scanning for any other traps. (Yes, thank you Raven.)
Nightshade was a bet shoked that Kakashi would give up a powerful weapon such as the Sharigan eye just to be apart of a lineage of jutsu that was nearly extinct. But either way, she already agreed to teach him the jutsu and she always stands on her offer " Ok" she announced " If I live through this I'll be happy to teach you the Nutral Jutsu." She was cut off by the sound she had heard at her paws. Looking down she realized in a split second that doing so wasn't a good idea, as her ears picked up something approching her wound. With a reaction that was not fast enough, a kunia ripped into her side and stayed there. She quickly got into her normal form and jerked the kunia out of the, now blood gushing wound. "Dammit!!" she yelled " If I can live through this!"
(ok)
Shikamaru watched them fight, kinda seriously but mostly with boredom. The fight was interesting and exciting but its just his nature to seem bored almost all the time. He watched them, thinking to himself that he wouldnt be able to fight like them in his entire life. What made Shikamara a good ninja was his wits. He was a great strategist and his enemies always fell into his plans.
