"We need to be careful! There could be others waiting to strike us at any moment!" she said and Naruto quickly drew another kunai, expectantly.

"I wish I had, I came alone so as not to arouse suspicion!" The man with the metal mask explained as he wrenched Sasuke's kunai out of his chest and quickly fled into the forest.

Landing on the ground, Sasuke looked at the rest of Team 7. "I think we need to have a team meeting don't you?" he asked monotone. Naruto nodded his head sheepishly.

That guy is gone for now but I wonder how long it'll be until we're attacked again? Sakura wondered as she followed her teammates out of the exposed area.
