Chapter 1. Deceptive Goodbye's

The faint zipping of backpacks could be heard in the silence of the night, the soft thump of said packs as they are placed apon backs soon follow. A pair of deep crimson eyes scanned their surroundings as the figure looks around her room one last time. The bare grey walls of her appartment glared back at her in the pale light of the full moon before her gaze fell on a lone photo, in it twin girls with cat tails and ears poked at a young red haired boys cheeks bright smiles on their faces while the boy had a scowl on his, behind the three she stood looking at them as if she were a proud mother. Her first genin team, she would never forget their smiling faces, but this was something she had to do. for the sake of the village. Slowly she walks to her open window her crimson gaze filled with determination as she leaps out of it her long deep red hair flowing out behind her, a whistle clutched tightly in her hand.

After the day she had chopped her long flowing hair off during the chunin exams she had vowed she would never again cut it, yet, now here she was, kunai in one hand, her long tresses in another. a small tear slips down her round face as she cleanly cuts through the strands a soft sigh escaping her parted lips as she feels the weight of her hair leave her head. she watches her long blonde hair fall to the floor before her gaze moves up to the mirror in front of her. Her eyes harden, she was doing this for the sake of the village. A whistle sounds out in the silent night seemingly coming from a nightengale, but she knew diffrent. Her bright blue eyes fall to her bag as she picks it up before leaping out of her open window.

Violet-black hair falls from the hood of a cream colored jacket, one she had worn for most of her life. Memories of her life before now flow through her head as a soft smile graces her light pink lips. she still remembered the day when she first met Naruto, when she was first placed on team 8 with Kiba and Shino, how hard the chinin exams were and witnessing the terror of murder first hand. She had grown so much since then, she could feel it. She grips the fabric in her small hands before letting it fall to the ground hearing the whistle akin to a nightengale's resound in the dark night. She smiles softly knowing this was not goodbye forever as she turns jumpping out of the window of her room.

Deep brown eyes watched the final puff of smoke disapear as she sealed the last of her weapons. a soft chuckle escaping her lips as she thought back to the first time she had trained with her team and how disastorous it was. who would have ever thought that their team would be able to work together so fluidly? She placed the scroll into her backpack. She knew she didn't, she thought the team would fall apart due to their major diffrences. She smiles thinking back how gruling the first day of training with Guy sensei was. a whistle of a nightengale was heard as she picks up her bag and walks out of her hidden training ground. She had to do this no matter how much she didn't want to, she knew in her heart this was not the end of team Guy.

The red head red eyed woman waited by the gates of Konoha a small whistle carved into the shape of a nightengale rested in her palm. Her eyes fell apon the four konoichi as they walk toward her.

"so you've made your desicion?" she asked softly trying not to alert the guard on duty.

each girl nodded before the red head turned running out into the foilage and jumping up into the nearest tree flanked by the four girls.

"We have one stop to make." she called back to them quietly.

The following day screams couls be heard throughout the village and cries of greif soon after. the bodies of five promising Konoichi were found in their apartment's all seeming to have died from either chakra exahution or suicide.

shoulder length straw blonde hair fell out of the four ponytails that had been her tradmark look for so long, it had been four days since the word of the death of Akane Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Tenten had reached Suna. She knew it was her turn to move, her deep teal eyes looked out of her window up to the lit windows of the Kazekage tower. she knew her brother would see her leave, but if sh trusted anyone it would be Gaara. she takes a deep breath as she gathers her bag hoisting it up on her shoulders as she jumps silently out of her window into the cold desert night air. hearing the whistle of a nightengale she takes off into a sprint, never looking back in fear that she would loose her resolve.

Smiling softly Akane looks at Temari knowing that it was hard to leave her loved one's behind. She turns heading out into the desert toward a trading town not to far from Suna, the five Konoichi flanking her.
