3rd Person POV:

Kiryu walked home, thinking about the night out he had with everyone else, and how much he never knew he wanted that.

Kiryu:(Mind) Maybe... We could all go karaoke next time?

Sakura: Kiryu!

Kiryu: Sakura?

Turning around upon hearing a desperate call from Sakura, Kiryu finds her rushing towards him with teary eyes.

Kiryu: Sakura, what's wrong?

Sakura: It's Majima!

Kiryu:!?

Sakura: H-He's leaving to go training with Orochimaru!

Kiryu: What..?

Sakura: I was too useless... Please, before he makes a big mistake!

Kiryu: Do you have any idea where he went?

Sakura: He headed out from the east.

Kiryu: Go tell Kakashi or Tsunade. Whoever you find first.

Sakura: Be careful Kiryu...

He dashes off, heading out to find a trace of him to follow.

Sakura: He has a Mad look in his eyes...

Pulling herself together, Sakura runs off to find Kakashi or Tsunade as he heads towards the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile, Kiryu, who arrived at the exit, left the village to find a tree with an arrow pointing in a direction.

Kiryu:(Mind) Majima... What's gotten into you, to start something like this?

He rushes off, following the direction the arrow pointed at.

(Opening theme)

Rushing across the forest, going at full speed, ignoring any stealthy tactics, Kiryu did his best to try and find Majima who seemed to have left bread crumbs for him to follow.

Kiryu:(Mind) Where are you even going Majima?

Multiple people land in front of Kiryu.

???: What-

Kiryu runs past them, not concerned in any way with them.

???: Tch! Stop right there! "Web blast Jutsu"!

One fires a thick line of web towards Kiryu who side flips to avoid the attack.

???: Hm?

Kiryu: I don't have time to play around with you and your circus act.

Kiryu: Get lost.

???: Sorry, no can do-

With that, Kiryu grabbed a tree and uprooted it from the ground.

Knocking toward the group who were shocked at this, Kiryu bought himself enough time to run away.

As he left, a team of hidden leaf shinobi arrived.

Kiryu:(mind) How far ahead are you-

Running into an opening in the forest Kiryu sees Majima defeat a man covered in sharp jagged bones.

Kiryu: Majima!!

Majima:(chuckles)... Damn, Kiryu-Chan~, you're fast as hell.

Kiryu: What do you think you're doing!?
