The fight

Naruto had meanwhile explained his plan to Sasuke. Now it was called an attack. In a matter of seconds, Naruto applied the shadow double jutsu. He knew that the shadow doubles alone would not bring anything, so he had to confuse them: He switched off the first one by alternately chasing 2 Narutos on him so that he no longer knew who was who. He repeated the same game with the others until they were all defeated. Meanwhile, Sasuke freed the others, who were only guarded by one man. He briefly considered which tactic he should use because he didn't want to use up his chakra for such unimportant opponents. So he decided to fool him. Sasuke sneaked up to the stunned man, well hidden in the tall grass, and attacked him with his shuriken. After a few tricks the fight was over: the opponent had no time to do anything so quickly attacked Sasuke The attackers defended themselves but they were flattened by their opponents.When the others were freed too, it was time to fight and there was just a sea of ​​Skuriken and all the trimmings. After they were all defeated, a question arose: How did you know of their presence? And: WHO knew?

Kabuto was proud of himself. Only through his mind control jutsu had Orochimaru found out what the Chuunin were up to. But Oro hadn't even uttered a friendly word. "Since that Uchihayp ran away, Orochimaru has gone completely crazy!" His men were just on the way to get the kids ready! That would certainly please his master. But when Orochimaru found out about it, he was almost furious. "WHAT did you THINK?" He yelled in his blind anger. "Now you know that we know about your mission" I could see you ... but he got no further.

Lee and Neji had set out to find the attackers who had escaped. "What do you think?Did you also notice what mark they wore? "asked Lee Neji." Hmm ... It was the sign from Kabuto. And that belongs to Orochimaru! " "Yes exactly. I think we should warn Naruto and Sasuke ... as well as Gaara! The others shouldn't get upset unnecessarily. "Lee made his suggestion." Yeah, I think you're right! "Come on, let's go back. And so they moved back through the dark forest to their camp. It was still night but everyone was wide awake. NOW no one could think of sleep anymore. It was also impossible after the events had rolled over. It was very much." quiet and everyone hung on to their thoughts, thinking feverishly, but the longer the silence the less someone wanted to speak - not even Naruto, who had his head on Hinata's shoulder.

Orochimaru went to the shinobi who had just stormed in the door. "What happened?" He hissed in a menacing voice and the injured shinobi took a few steps back."Wi ... we failed master. We couldn't have suspected that the fox boy and Uchiha weren't in the tents! Forgive me!" Orochimaru's eyes blinked dangerously and he let out a hissing sound that sounded like a snake. "So you failed," he said sharply and his voice cut the air. Kabuto knew what was about to happen and in fact: Oro's mouth opened and in a matter of seconds a huge tongue shot out, strangling the shinobi who was crouching on the floor. "And the next time you try something on your own again, it will be the same for you," he said to Kabuto. "Hai," he stammered and set off.

"Look Lee and Neji are back!", Sakura screamed excitedly and the oppressive silence was broken because immediately all heads turned in the direction Sakura was pointing. Indeed, Neji and Lee returned. "Hey what? What did you find out?" Naruto wanted to know. Neji and Lee pulled him aside and enlightened him.Naruto's face suddenly turned very serious and Lee thought he had never seen him like this before. Even Neji was slightly surprised. "Ok. I'm not going to say anything to the others either except for Sasuke and Gaara.", He agreed to their suggestion. But inside he knew that it couldn't be kept a secret. He controlled himself and put his happy face back on just to keep up appearances.

Kakashi was in his house, pondering what had happened. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Kakashi's thoughts were disturbed. When he opened it he saw someone he had never expected: Kurenai! "What's going on?" He asked puzzled. "Oh nothing really. Hmm ... let's leave the games! I'm worried!", She whispered and Kakashi saw that she had been crying. She entered and turned to him. “What if something happened to you?” Instead of answering, Kakashi walked up to her and hugged her. "They are fine! Believe me," he said into her hair.But even Kakashi doubted his statement!
