Chapter 120: Chapter 120
"What are those for dobe?" asked Sasuke, more curious than angry at having someone suggest something else; at least for now. He may not always get along with his blond teammate, but he knew that Naruto could come through when it counted. And with such a serious test in front of them, Sasuke couldn't afford to let any feelings of superiority or jealousy get in the way.
"I always carry some fuuinjutsu equipment on me in case I need to make a seal," Naruto explained as he uncorked the bottle. "I want both of you to cut your finger and put some blood into the ink."
"W-What? Why would we do that?" asked Sakura, not comfortable with the idea of cutting her own finger.
Naruto rolled his eyes, "This will let the ink bind with you, making the fuuinjutsu, especially the one I'm about to make that much more powerful."
To both Naruto's and Sakura's surprise, Sasuke cut his finger and dripped some of his blood into the ink. After a few seconds Sakura followed suit, albeit much more reluctantly.
"So what is this seal?" asked Sasuke as he watched Naruto place his own blood in the ink and begin to mix it.
"It's called Sotei Jinsei Fuuin (Binding Life Seal), basically what it does is create a set of seals that will react to their brother seals whenever they are within sixteen feet of each other by glowing a light blue and giving a light vibration." Naruto dipped his brush in the bottle and stirred it a bit more. "There are more powerful variations of this seal that actually give a subtle hint of what the other person wearing the seal is feeling, but those are only for two people to use at a time since anymore would overload the human brain. I created this so that it can be used by more than two people, and it will only work for those whose blood is in the ink. Sasuke where do you want yours?"
Sasuke sat next to Naruto and showed the underside of his wrist. He watched in mild interest as Naruto used precise and quick strokes of his brush to create what looked like a bunch of scribbles to him. Sakura received hers on the opposite wrist as Sasuke and Naruto had to have a clone do his on the left side of his neck, one of the only places that was not covered in cloth and did not have a seal already there aside from his face.
Once he had made all of the seals Naruto created two more clones who went through the same hand seals before putting a hand against one of the seals on the three genin. "Sotei Jinsei Fuuiin!" The seals began to glow a light blue before the three felt a slight vibration.
"There we go, all done," Naruto said, feeling proud of finally finding a use for one of the seals he had created for actual ninja uses.
"Good now we should get moving," Sasuke said as he stood up.
The group was about to move before Naruto felt a small pulse of chakra. He turned around just in time to feel the beginnings of a wind jutsu. His eyes widened and just when he was about to alert his teammates to the danger a powerful gust of wind hit them, sending the three flying off in separate directions.
Sasuke groaned a bit as he stood up and surveyed his new surroundings. He turned around as he heard a twig snap and saw Sakura stepping out from behind the bush. He would have gotten into a combat stance but his seal began to glow a light blue and give off a soft vibration.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said in relief as she came up to him.
"Sakura," Sasuke gave a nod of acknowledgement. He may not quite like her but she was his teammate and the in situations like this they would need to stick together. "Have you seen Naruto?"
Sakura shook her head, for once not scowling at the mention of her blond teammate. "No, I haven't seen him yet."
As if summoned by magic Naruto appeared in the bushes a little ways away. "Hey guys! Are you two ok!"
The blond began to move however as soon as he got a few feet from them Sasuke tossed some several shuriken, forcing the blond to block and dodge the attacks. "What the hell teme!"
Sasuke glared at the blond. "This has to be the most pathetic attempt at henging into someone I've ever seen. First off, Naruto would most likely make some smart ass remark about Sakura trying to get me alone so she could rape me." Sakura gave a heavy blush and nosebleed at the mental image that evoked, while Sasuke shuddered but continued anyways. "Second, the seal Naruto placed on us hasn't changed since you got here, it should have increased in intensity by now. I suggest you reveal yourself before I'm forced to simply kick your ass without an explanation as to who you are."
"Ku ku ku, very good Sasuke-kun. It looks like there is more to this team than I thought besides you." There was a puff of smoke, and when it cleared, it revealed the Kusa kunoichi who gave the pair a blood thirsty smirk. "Looks like this is going to be more entertaining than even I had hoped for."
Naruto sighed as he continued jumping through the trees, trying to locate his teammates through the small scent of them he could find. "Ugh, just my luck to be knocked the furthest away."
As he continued grumbling Naruto was forced to jump to the side as a giant snake crashed into the tree he was on.
I don't remember seeing any giant snakes in the forest. Naruto frowned as the snake hissed and glared at him. "Whatever, I don't have time for you so you're going to have to go!"
There was a puff of smoke before it cleared to reveal a rather ornate katana that was several inches longer and two inches thicker than a standard sword. As the snake came at Naruto the blond shot off the tree like a rocket, letting the giant reptile crash into the tree, shaking it. Hitting another tree Naruto pushed chakra into his feet before blasting off.
He came at the snake hard, channeling wind chakra through his blade as he sliced at it, cutting the head off. The creature thrashed around for several seconds before it went still, then to Naruto's surprised disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"That was a summon?" Naruto said to himself in shock. "But that's not possible, the only ones who can summon snakes are Anko and…" The blond stiffened as he realized who that snake summon belonged to. "I have to find Sasuke and Sakura fast, and pray that they haven't run into the person who summoned this!"
Naruto caught a whiff of the pairs scent before heading off faster than before.
The strange Kusa kunoichi pulled out a scroll from her pouch and held it up for them to see, "You guys want this right? An earth scroll since you have the heaven scroll." As soon as she finished the kunoichi brought the scroll to her mouth, right before she shoved it down her gullet.
Both Konoha genin turned a light green and looked like they wanted to puke.
That's disgusting! Sasuke thought as he shuddered.
"Now we can fight for these scrolls, with our lives on the line," the woman finished as she released an intense killing intent.
Both Sasuke and Sakura gasped as they fell to their knees, shaking and struggling to breath as images as their deaths at the Kusa ninja's hand came to their minds. They saw themselves getting gutted by a long sword, getting brutally ripped apart and all manner of gruesome deaths. The images of death lasted several seconds before they disappeared. Yet the feeling remained the same, gripping their hearts and preventing them from moving....
