Naruto snickered as he stood back up, "sorry I didn't think you would get so scared."
"I wasn't scared!" Anko protested, "Just startled is all…"
"Right…" Naruto drawled as he went over to help up Ino, who had just woken up. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I mean I only have one of the worst headache ever but I'm fine," the platinum blond replied sarcastically.
"At least you don't have sea sickness," Naruto said with a grin that while Ino could not see, knew was there.
"Shut up," Ino mumbled.
"That was a most unpleasant experience," Shino said as he took got up, brushing himself off as he looked around. "It seems that we fell for some kind of trap."
"The only question is what kind?" Naruto said as he looked around the tunnel. There seemed to be only one way to go, with the other end blocked. "Looks like we don't have much of a choice but to go this way, so let's head out but keep a sharp eye out for anymore traps."
The other three nodded, as they got into a triangle formation with Naruto in front and Anko covering the rear. Several minutes later they found themselves in decent sized room, Naruto could not get the exact proportions right since he could only see about twenty feet in front of him. But judging from the way his chakra bounced off the walls when he flared it, he would have to say it was at least a 30' by 30' space. As they continued walking both Naruto and Anko felt their instincts kick in, grabbing one of the other two they jumped out of the way just a several kunai were launched at them.
"Your reaction times are quite impressive," a voice reverberated through the room.
"Who are you! Show yourself?" Ino yelled out.
"Now why would I do that?"
Naruto frowned as he tried to locate the source of the voice, however due to the acoustics of the room it was bouncing around too much for him to find. He flared his chakra again and frowned when he could not detect a human shape aside from the three next to him. However he could see a door on the other side, someone would need to deal with whoever this was if they wanted to get to the door.
"Shino?" Naruto whispered, "Can I leave this guy to you?"
"Of course Naruto-san," the Aburame heir replied, "you three may go on ahead while I take care of this."
Naruto nodded and had the other two members of his squad follow him, as he made a dash towards the door.
"Don't think it will be that easy to get away!"
Several kunai were launched at the retreating trio, however a swarm of bugs appeared behind them and stopped the attack.
"Your opponent is me," Shino said in his monotone voice.
"Very well, after I kill you I'll get them," the voice laughed, "that is if 'they' don't get them first."
Shino did not respond as he sent his bugs out.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto cursed as several traps activated, launching kunai at them as they ran. Without warning Naruto picked up both Anko and Ino, before using one of his own original speed techniques to beat the traps. The jutsu was called Shunpo (Flash Step) and was designed to surprise an opponent; it was very similar to the Hiraishin. However unlike the famed thunder god, this technique was based off of pure speed. By using a combination of lightning and wind chakra, Naruto was able to move at speeds that could match the Hiraishin's teleportation. By creating a current of air in front of the user and channeling lightning chakra into the bottom of the feet, Naruto was able to 'skate' across the surface in a burst of speed that left a yellow streak in its wake.
He deposited the two surprised females on their feet, as he took a look around the room. This room was a large cylindrical room; Naruto could tell it was a fair bit bigger than the one they had left Shino in. the lighting while still low, was enough for him to make out the door at the other end. As well as several gates located along the walls, this gave the blond shinobi a bad feeling about this place.
"What the hell was that?" asked Ino as she looked at Naruto with an expression that demanded an explanation.
Naruto looked over at his fellow blond, "what was what?"
"That thing you did to get us over here so fast!" Ino practically shouted, causing both Naruto and Anko to wince.
Naruto sighed, "It's a family technique, that's all."
Naruto walked off before Ino could question him further, forcing her and Anko to follow him. When they were about halfway to the exit, the three heard a slight screeching sound as the gates began to open. The Konoha ninja quickly went back to back, waiting to see what would happen. Naruto began to channel chakra into his eyes, to increase their perception. He was able to make out the outlines of several bodies that looked the same as the creatures back in the lab; Naruto knew what they were even before their eyes opened to reveal bulbous fish like eyes that glowed with a light green color.
"W-what the hell are these!" Ino screeched as she saw the eyes staring at them.
"Most likely the experiments of Orochi-teme's, or who ever owns this place now," Naruto replied, preparing for what he knew would be a long fight.
