My teammates and I roamed around the Forest of Death. We are required to get our hands on the scroll different from the scroll in our position. We have the Heaven scroll,which means we need to search for the Earth scroll. We 72 hours before we reach the tower with the scrolls and with a complete team.

"I wonder when we will meet the beast. This is a great chance to fight him"

Yeah.. Can you sense him?

"He is not anywhere near us for now"

I nodded mentally and continued to leap through the trees.

"Man.. It has been so long and we haven't encounter a team yet!" Naruto complained.

"Shut up,Naruto. We don't want to attract attention" Sakura warned.

"But I'm hungry.. It's night already.." Naruto pouted.

I looked above and saw the Moon shining ever so brightly.

"You wouldn't want to fight at this time. Why don't we rest for a bit and continue in the morning?"

Sure,we can't fight when they are exhausted anyway. I can see the drowsiness in Sakura's eyes.

"We'll stop here for the night,then" I said while landing on the ground.

"Naruto,Sakura,search for twigs and don't separate from each other. Sasuke,search for food and help them set up the fire. I'll go around putting traps,so no one would come near us" I ordered. They obeyed and soon,we started our work.

~~~~~

"Now that the last trap is done,we can finally have some rest" I grinned.

"Get all the rest you need,Rika. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a long day.."

I sighed and walked back to our campsite to eat and get some rest.

~~~~~

We woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the blinding light of the Sun.

"The Sun!! It feels so good!!" Moyasu squealed.

I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm over the Sun and kicked Naruto to wake up.

"WAKE UP,NARUTO!"

Nothing.

"NARUTO! SASUKE STOLE YOUR RAMEN!" I shouted.

"IDIOT!" Sasuke growled at me,but I dismissed it.

I stared at Naruto and counted.

3..

2..

1..

"TEME!!" Naruto jumped up from his slumber and tried to tackle Sasuke,but he was stopped by Sakura.

"SHUT UP! Let's go!"

~~~~~

In the afternoon,Moyasu warned me about ninjas nearby.

"A team is heading your way"

Alright. Anyone we know?

"Unfamiliar,but they are quite strong."

Can we handle them?

"We can kill them with ease"

That's all I need to hear.

As if on cue,three ninjas appeared from the bushes.

"What do we have here.." A man who looks like a mummy asked.

"They are nothing but puny little brats" The guy with dark blue hair smirked.

"Just get this over with" The girl with long jet black hair rolled her eyes.

"Patience,Kin. Do you want to take them on yourself,Zaku?" The mummy questioned.

The girl whose name is Kin,shrugged her shoulders.

"Gladly. Are you sure you don't want to fight them,Dosu?" Zaku asked.

"That is too troublesome" Dosu said. "I'll handle what you can't handle"

"Oh,you don't need to"

Zaku stretched out his hands.

Before he could do anything,I appeared behind him and kicked him to the ground.

He seemed shocked and he stayed there,processing what just happened.

"I didn't know you Sound ninjas like to eat dirt" I spat.

"Why you.." He growled and wiped the dirt off his face angrily.

I snapped my fingers and a ball of fire appeared on my palm. I bounced it on my palm and threw it to him.

However,his hands blew off some kind of wind and it made the fire rage. I immediately moved out of the way.

"Fire Style: Mythical Fire Flower!"

Balls of fire shoot towards his way. As expected,he blew it off but there were shurikens in those flames.

He blocked his face from the shurikens,but he didn't know it was for distraction.

I rushed towards him and pinned his arms behind his back.

"You seem proud of your hands.. I wonder what you can do without it" I smirked.

I blew out fire and it entered into his arms from the hole on his palm.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He shrieked in pain and collapsed on the ground.

"You are beginning to enjoy people's sufferings like me" Moyasu smirked.

Shut up.

"Before you know it,you might become a cold blooded just like me. A true demon"

Shut your mouth,you demon.

"Zaku!" Kin shouted.

She glared at me and charged with senbons between her fingers.

"Are you seriously trying to beat me with that?" I raised an eyebrow.

I sighed.

"Fire Style: Twin Flames Whip"

Whips made of flames formed on both of my hands. I charged at her and slashed her with immense speed,impossible to be seen by the naked eye.

"AHHHHHHHH!! WHY YOU BITCH!!" She shrieked in pain as the flames burn her.

I didn't even bat an eyelash. I looked at the last person of the team,Dosu.

"Any last words?" I stared at him emotionlessly.

"You can't possible think you can beat me that easy? I'm way stronger than them." He smirked under his mask.

"If you think so" I rolled my eyes.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu"

He hopped out of the way and I wrapped my flame whip around his right leg.

He fell to the ground and choked on his screams of pain as he watch his right leg burning.

"Where is your scroll?" I asked stretching out my hand.

He threw me an Earth scroll and pleaded me.

"Please,have mercy on me"

"For your cockiness? Sure,I won't burn you alive. However,I will kill you" I grinned wickedly.

I kneeled beside his head and snapped his neck.

Immediate death. Painless.
