It was almost nightfall before Sasuke finally let Team Hawk have a proper rest after a whole day's worth of running. He'd been running them all dry ever since they had joined with Akatsuki to destroy Konoha. Personally Suigetsu couldn't really see the point in all of this endless movement while Pein and his 'partner' Konan were still planning on how to invade the Leaf village.

"We'll stop here for now." The Uchiha spoke, back facing them while he appeared to be studying the night.

The rest of them all but collapsed where they stood on the ground. Panting, and shaking from yet another day of full physical exertion.

"'Bout fucking time too." Suigetsu muttered under his breath, glaring enviously in Sasuke's direction, as the young man gave no outward sign of physical exhaustion.

"Shut up Suigetsu." Karin bit back. Causing him to snort and turn his head back to her.

"I wasn't talking to you, bitch"

"Quiet."

They all duly noted the sudden seriousness of the Uchiha's tone. Casting him wavering glances the rest of the team fell silent. Suigetsu suddenly realized that it was quiet. Much too noticeably quiet than usual. All the crickets and other various animals stopped making noise altogether. None of them had time to stand up from the ground before the ambushing shinobi were on them.

A/N; I know that this is extremely short. Please bare with me. The other chapters will be much better and longer.
