Chapter 4
The Seperated Teams

Its dark and the stars are twinkling in the sky. Rock Lee is laying on the ground. His arms and legs spread. Sakura had hit a tree. He flickers his eyes open. He sits up and rubs his head. Looking over to Sakura, his eyes widen.

Rock Lee:Sakura!

He runs over to her. Her arms are badly bused. Blood had seemed to have leaked from her mouth. Lee begins to shake her.

Rock Lee:Sakura.

Sakura moans and slowly opens her eyes.

Rock Lee helps her up. Sakura looks around the Dark Woods.

Sakura:Where are we?
Rock Lee:Apu's jutsu seems to have blown us here.

Sakura looks around quickly.

Sakura:Naruto!, Kakashi sensi, and Papaline!
Rock Lee:My guess is they were blown into another part of the woods. Naruto maybe still fighting. Either way we have to meet back up with them.
Sakura:Yeah.

Sakura shows a worried expression. Rock Lee puts his hand on her shoulder.

Rock Lee:Don't Sakura, we'll find them.

He gives her a nice girl pose and smiles brightly. Sakura smiles sweetly.

Sakura:Right.!

(Center Woods)

Kakashi is leaning on the tree. Papaline is siting by the fire.

Papaline:Seems we got seperated.
Kakashi:Yes. The others should be around. We should start to look for them.
Papaline:Very well. But lets make it quick. We must find the star.
Kakashi(looks to him):We will.

(Deep Woods)

Naruto is layed on his back sleep, snoring. Villagers who have escaped from Saranin surrond him. The woman with the child he had saved begin to shake him.

Woman:Wake up there.

Naruto continues to sleep.

Woman:Hello!

Naruto pops up quick and looks around.

Naruto:Wher, Where is everyone? Kakashi sensi!, Sakura, Fuzzy Brows, and Papaline!

Memory hits him.

Naruto:Oh yeah. That Apu guy. Where is he?

The villagers tremble with fear at the mention of his name. Naruto notices.

Naruto:Right. So you guys are from Saranin.

The woman nods.

Woman:My name is Kyra Minata and this is my son Haku.

The boy is smiling at Naruto. Naruto grins back at him.

Kyra:I want to thank you for saving me and my child.
Naruto(smiling):Hey its no problem. I'm a ninja, it my duty.

Kyra smiles. Naruto gives a wide grin. A man in a torn brown shirt with tan shorts with spiky hair walks up to them.

Man:Hes not coming with us.
Kyra:But Byran-
Byran:He'll bring trouble.
Kyra:He save my life. We owe him.
Byran:No. We must move and find that Wishing Star to restore our village.

Naruto stands up.

Naruto:I'm coming.
Byran(angery):I already told you no!
Naruto(sternly)(pointing at him):Look! We're also searching for the star. If we work together we can find it quicker. Plus if Apu gets it the whole world is in danger.

Byran thinks on the situation. He then looks to Naruto.

Byran(sighs):Fine.
Naruto:But we have to find my friends. I know their in these woods somewhere.
Byran:We don't have time. Were going to find the star. I have no time to worry about your friends.
Naruto:I'll never abandon my friends. Never!
Kyra:They tried to save our village. We can atleast return the favor. Byran.

Byran grunts and Naruto grins while Kyra chuckles.

(Front Woods)

Sakura and Rock Lee continue to search for the team.

Sakura:I hope we find them soon.
Rock Lee:Umm(place his finger over his mouth in a thinking way)Kakashi is good at tracking people down. So he might just find us. Hes probably most likely with Papaline as well.
Sakura:Your right. I don't know why I am worrying.
Rock Lee:Its okay Sakura. Naruto is your teammate. As well as Kakashi sensi. I'll feel the same way about Guy sensi.

He pull his fist in front of his face.

Rock Lee(Determined):Guy Sensi. I will make you proud.

(Center Woods)

Kakashi and Papaline stand side by side. Papaline looks to him.

Papaline:We should hurry.
Kakashi:I know.

He raises his thumb to his mouth and bites down on it slightly. He then slams his hand down to the ground.

Kakashi:Summoning Jutsu!

Black letters spread from his fingers and across the ground. He lift his hand up. And smoke emerges and clears. A little dog with an leaf village head protector appeared. The dog looks up to Kakashi.

Pakkun:Kakashi. Long time.
Kakashi:Yes it has been Pakkun. But we have to skip greetings. We have a problem.

Pakkun looks up to him.

Kakashi:I need you to track down Naruto, Lee, and Sakura.
Pakkun:Umm. Whats been going on?
Kakashi:I'll fill you in while we look.
Pakkun:Right.

He looks over to Papaline.

Papaline:What?
Pakkun:Would you like to feel my paw!

Papaline's eyes widen.

Papaline:No!

Pakkun puts his head down.

(Sound Village) (Orchimaru's Lair)

Orchimaru and Kabuto is talking.

Kabuto:This star could be of us to us.
Orchimaru:I see. Where is this star located?
Kabuto:I don't know. But their is a survivor from Makulla. He may know where the star is.
Orchimaru:Lets find him.
Kabuto:What about him?

They turn to see Saskue with his head down. You can't really see his face but just a shadowy figure. He looks up and shows his sharigan eyes.

Orchimaru:He stays. He still needs to train.
Kabuto:Yes.
Orchimaru:Kabuto. Where is the guy located?
Kabuto:It seems he was last seen in Saranin. Its a small village.

Orchimaru smiles wickedly.

Orchimaru:I guess were going to Saranin.

He sticks out his snake like tongue.

(Apu's Baseground)

Apu is sitting in his chair looking at Kyru. Kyru has his head bowed with his arms to his sides.

Apu:You know I am disappointed in you, Kyru.
Kyru:Yes sir.

Apu smirks at him.

Apu:I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself.

Kyru lifts his head and stares at Apu questionably.

Apu:I bet you Papaline knows where the star is.

Kyru nods.

Kyru:So bring in the phrophet.
Apu:See you are smart. Bring him to me. If the others get in your way you know what to do. Now Go!!

Kyru walks out quickly.

Apu(evily):That star will be mine. And I will rule supreme!!!

He laughs evily.

(Konoha)(Hokage's Office)

The Hokage slams her fist onto the desk, nearly cracking it. The two jounin jumped when she had did it.

Lady Tsunade:Are you sure?
Jounin:Yes, we are very positive. The men who destroyed Papaline's village are from the Land of the Dinosaurs.
Lady Tsunade:This is bad. (jumps up)They're going to need back up.

(Apu's Baseground)

Kyru is pacing back and forth. Bandits is facing him.

Bandit:What is it that Apu commands of us?
Kyru:Listen Up! (stops pacing and faces them) The master wants you to go into the woods and locate and individual that can bring what he wants.
Bandit:And whis is this individual?
Kyru:His name is Papaline.
