"Damnit, Daisuke! You woke the baby! I just got the damn thing to sleep!"

"Calm down Tomomi! No one is here to hear the little shit anyway. Besides, we should be back at camp and enjoying the bounty for these kids soon enough. I'm amazed how many people are willing to dish out loads of money for some kids with special blood lines."

"Daisuke, don't be so sure," interrupted Kazuki. "You don't understand the risk we are taking by kidnapping these kids. It has been made clear we shouldn't underestimate this man's ability to track."

"Oh come off it!" Daisuke exclaimed. "I don't even think the Uchiha cares his little whelps were taken! I bet he's already shacking up with some other broad and making more," he ended with a laugh. "I mean, honestly, as famous as he is I would have thought he would have found us by now!"

"Really now? If I'm so famous why would you think you would get away with taking my children?!"

Turning towards the new voice, all three bandits froze. Standing no more than five feet from them was a very pissed, sharingan wielding Uchiha Sasuke.

"Now, if you do not wish to be torn limb from limb, I suggest you hand my children over this instant."

Silence stretched across the camp site. Two sets of eyes frantically looked towards their leader to see what course of action should be taken. Calmly, Sasuke decided to break the silence for them.

"I give you thirty seconds to come to a decision. Either you give me my children and I go easy on you…or I will slowly torture your minds before dismembering your bodies slowly and with enjoyment."

After a short pause, Kazuki spoke, "It seems neither of those options is beneficial to me and my partners. How about you allow for us to leave the children here and we go on our way…no harm has been done to your children therefore taking retribution with our lives seems a little much."

"Your thirty seconds are up."

Moving at blinding speed, Sasuke charged Tomomi first, pulling her into an unbreakable genjutsu. Not even waiting for the genjutsu to take full effect, Sasuke moved behind Daisuke. Pulling his head back by his hair, Sasuke pulled out a kunai and methodically slit his throat. Moving to stand in front of the leader, Kazuki, Sasuke stopped.

"I warned you all before I attacked...and to ensure none of you take children ever again, I have a special punishment for you."

AN: Just proving I am still alive! Sorry for the ridiculously long wait...I lost all desire to write but I am determined to at least finish this story. Who knows, maybe I'll hit my stride again and start pushing out chapters really fast :) PS - I know this is crazy short but I wanted to push something out to get me to start working on it again.
