Kazuma's Story: The Black Flash (OCxIno)

Twenty-Nine

As they got to their destination their eyes narrowed at what they had seen. Honestly, they weren't surprised by anything they were looking at. They had already planned for this sort of thing to happen. All they needed to do was execute their plan.

At the same time Kazuma felt a gust of wind blow past him. His hair covered his face, but as he looked at Sakura, he saw how her hair blew in the wind. She was indeed beautiful, and he knew it, but he didn't like her at all. She was quick to assume things and was extremely aggressive.

Still, he had to admit that she was smarter than he expected.

"Jakazu's there by himself. What do you want to do about this?"

"We already planned for this sort of thing, remember. He doesn't have anyone else with him, so we just double team him."

Sakura nodded her head. Just as she was about to make her move, Kazuma put his arm out in front of her.

"What's wro—" Kazuma placed a hand over Sakura's mouth to keep her quiet.

He quickly pulled out a Kunai and placed it behind his back.

Sakura didn't even notice the person behind him, but Kazuma did.

"Your reflexes are quick. I imagine you're the famous black flash." The ninja behind him spoke confidently.

"Don't flatter me by giving me such a name similar to the legendary Yellow Flash of the Leaf. Are you some sort of thief?" Kazuma questioned as he continued to stare at Jakazu who wasn't that far away from where he was now. Kazuma was experienced enough to know that if he took his eyes off his target, his target could disappear within a second. He wasn't trying to take that risk.

Sakura pulled her fist back and was about to attack when suddenly another ninja appeared behind her and grabbed her arm while placing a kunai towards her neck.

"I am not a petty little thief. I suppose you could say I'm working for the guy in front of you. He actually told me to come capture you."

That surprised Kazuma a bit. "How did Jakazu know I was here? Was it that wind earlier?"

Kazuma could see Sakura trying to plan something, but he didn't know what she was trying to plan. If there was a jutsu that could read minds, he'd definitely need to learn it.

"So what are you going to do with us? Kill us? I seriously doubt you're skilled enough to kill us." Kazuma said, egging the ninja on.

The ninja laughed. "You're a cocky one, aren't you? Regardless, I'm going to bring you to our master."

"Okiri?"

"No, Jakazu."

"Damn, that must mean that Okiri isn't here."

Kazuma put down his kunai and one of the ninjas picked it up. Suddenly other ninja appeared around him and Sakura.

The teen smirked as they pushed him down from the tree branch, onto the ground beneath them. As he hit the ground he touched the Earth with his palm, then got up and covered that part of the ground he had touched. Once he was up completely, the smirk on his face had completely disappeared. "What's up with me getting pushed onto the ground now-a-days. I thought I left that part behind me."

Sakura was next, but Kazuma put his body underneath hers so that he could soften her fall. It didn't hurt him much, but her knee was pressed directly into his back.

"Ouch."

"S-sorry... be more careful next time." Sakura said, not noticing that Kazuma stepped underneath her on purpose. As they got up, Kazuma checked to see if his mark was still on her shoulder.
