Snakes Are Trending, I Guess

After taking care of the snake, I was searching for my teammates. I heard Footsteps approaching, i turned and saw my clone coming out of the bushes. He threw a scroll at me, i looked at the scroll and it was a Heaven scroll, the one we wanted. I looked back at him and he shrugged.

I dispelled him and got his memories, He took care of a bunch of canon fodders on his way. Then I got memories of another clone, he found Karin. She was with her teammates, hiding, for now. So i dispelled my clones except 2, they made their way towards her but kept their distance, She has Kaguya's Mind eye too... i think.

So, I made my way towards my teammates.

( POV AFTER THEY GOT SEPARATED )

Just after the attack, Sasuke jumped back and hid in bushes, some distance from him Sakura hid in bushes too. They looked for the attacker.

Sasuke feels some movements behind him. He takes out his kunai and turns around to see Sakura approaching him.

" Sakura, wait, What is the codeword?"

" But we don't have any, Sasuke-kun" Sakura replies while fixing her headband and tapping her thigh from other hand.

" Yeah..." Sasuke seeing the signs relax his guard.

Then rustling is heard in bushes, they look where it came from and saw Naruto stepping out from them.

" Hey guys, You alright? " Naruto asks

" Stop right there. What is the codeword? " Sasuke asks.

" We don't have any, We were attacked before we could decide." Naruto replies

Sasuke and Sakura doesn't let their guard down and Sasuke throws a kunai at Naruto.

" What do you think you are doing?" Naruto exclaims as he dodges the kunai.

" We know you are not Naruto, so how about you show your real face." Sakura demands.

" Hehehe, How did you know? " Naruto asks as he cancels his jutsu, and a ninja from grass country is shown.

" We decided body signs instead of words as codeword." Sasuke smirks

Grass ninja looks at Sasuke Up and down as if evaluating him. A shiver runs down Sasuke's back.

' What was that... This guy... is dangerous.'

" You guys want this Heaven scroll right" He showed them his scroll "Since You have Earth scroll." He then Swallowed his scroll whole "Then let's fight for scroll, WITH OUR LIVES ON THE LINE! " He said with a finger in his eyes and releases his killing intent (Bloodlust).

Then hundreds of kunai and shuriken came at Sasuke and Sakura, before they could even move, several cuts were made on their body and A kunai was impaled on both of their foreheads.

A second later all the injuries and kunai on their forehead disappeared.

'Genjutsu!?? No It's fear. Killing intent in his eyes is making us see images of our death. Just WHO IS THIS GUY' " Sakura.." Sasuke turns to look at Sakura but saw her as she is shivering in fear, tears coming out from her eyes non stop. Sasuke is no better but unlike her, he can think... somewhat.

Grass nin throws 2 kunai at them. Sakura still in trance didn't move.

' Move... move... You have to run... I can't die like this' Sasuke internally said to make himself move. When kunais got too close Sasuke stabs his thigh with his kunai to overcome fear with pain.

' Kekeke he chose pain to overcome fear... As i expected he is no ordinary prey. This will be interesting' Grass nin Thought

Sakura seeing Sasuke injured finally snapped out of her trance

" S..Sasuke-kun, are you alrig-" Before she could finish Sasuke shut her up by putting his hand on her mouth.

' He doesn't know where we are. This is our chance to get away, We cannot win against him, If we try, only thing that awaits us is DEATH!' While Sasuke was thinking of their escape, A snake appeared behind him.

Sakura notice the snake and yells at Sasuke to warn him, just then the snake opens his mouth to mow Sasuke but Sasuke reacts fast and jumps down from the tree he was sitting on.

Snake attacks again while Sasuke is midair,

" GET AWAY FROM ME" Sasuke screams and throws many kunai at snake which Kills the snake.

Sasuke and Sakura breaths in relief but then snake is cut from inside and Grass nin emerge from it.

" You guys shouldn't relax even for a moment. A prey should always try to run away... IN THE PRESENCE OF PREDATOR, THAT IS." Grass nin warns them menacingly.

' What do i do!! Sakura is useless and will just get in my way. Giving him our scroll may be our only option but there's no guarantee he will let us go after that.' Sasuke desperately tries to come up with a plan.

" Kekeke, Let's see how you fare against this" Grass nin said and bit his own thumb, then smacked his hand on the ground.

" Summoning jutsu" Grass nin exclaims and a giant snake appeared in a puff of smoke.

" What...What is that thing?" Sakura asked, proving her eyes to be as useless as herself, she then proceeds to do her usual shivering in fear thing.

The snake rushed at Sasuke, Who did some hand signs and spew many fireballs at snake, Fireballs hit snake but it ignored the burns and kept moving forward.

Seeing his one of the strongest jutsu being sakura, i mean useless, Sasuke closed his eyes for the inevitable to happen. Sasuke waited but nothing happened for a few seconds, He opened his eyes to see... Naruto standing in front of him, grinning ear to ear.

Naruto started to make his way towards a wide eyed Sasuke. When he got to him, Naruto petted Sasuke's head and said

" Awww, Did that bad ninja scare our little Sasuke? Don't worry, I'll make him pay."
