"Them? They're alive and well."
Sasuke flashed a smile, his pearly whites gleaming coldly, then raised a thumb and beckoned to Naruto.
Crouching beside the little puddle, Naruto wore an identical smile. Before Sasuke could wave him over, he arched a brow and aimed his five fingers at the puddle.
"Shinra Tensei... pfft, I mean, Universal Pull!"
Sticking out his tongue, Naruto unleashed a sudden surge of suction from his hand. He flipped off Sasuke, who was looking at him in contempt, then swung his hand sharply toward Kakashi.
Two oddly dressed figures were dragged out of the water.
One wore a respirator, while the other had horns on his head. Claws gleamed eerily on their hands, and a toothed chain extended from their other hands, linking the two together.
At that moment, however, they displayed none of the composure befitting long-established Chunin of Kirigakure.
Their faces were twisted, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and occasional arcs of electricity flashed over them.
Clearly, Sasuke had given them a thorough electrocution in the puddle.
Whoosh!
Hearing the wind whistle around the figures hurtling down at him, Kakashi's brow twitched, and his mouth spasmed wildly. He was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to leave when he realized that, deliberately or otherwise, Naruto had thrown the two men at just the right angle to block his escape route.
Hmm.
Judging by that malicious grin, he's probably doing this on purpose because I conned him into paying for barbecue yesterday.
Kakashi pursed his lips and shrugged helplessly.
Kids will be kids. Not an ounce of generosity. I still need my money for other things. So what if I ate a little of your food?
Forming hand seals one-handed before his chest, Kakashi vanished instantly, while a special kunai at Sakura's waist lit up.
