Secrets of the Hidden

Chapter One

The Beginning


It was dawn.And just as the morning sun broke through the tree's team 7 came storming through the forest training grounds of Konoha

"C'mon sasuke can't you keep up?" Said naruto. They were racing through the woods trying to hit as many targets as they could with a kunai and so far Naruto was winning.

"Whatever". Sasuke replied as he zoomed passed Naruto while hitting a target.

"Good shot Sasuke!!" yelled Sakura in dead last.Naruto just rolled his eyes.

By the end of the race Sasuke (of course) won with Naruto in second and Sakura last. They were breathing heavily and sat down for a rest before starting the next part of today's training.

"All right team." ,Said Kakashi, "That was pretty good.now lets..." he stopped short.

"Did you hear that?" asked the team leader.

"No". Said Sakura "Hear what?"

"Shhhhhh that way." Kakashi felt a strange chakra near by so he directed the group to where he sensed it. They all jumped onto some branches to try to find the source.

They al saw a woman who looked a little younger than Kakashi washinlg her face in a nearby stream. She was tall and had her long red hair pulled up so that it cascaded down her back. Her violet eye's were full of spark and it looked as if she had noticed her onlookers. She peered into the tree's but seemed to think she was safe since she turned around to pick up her traveling bag.

Naruto tried his hardest to keep quiet but couldnt help it when his stomach gave a low grumble. He hadent eaten breakfast,he was in too much of a hurry to be on time for training.

Sasuke shot him a look as did Sakura. Kakashi just stood still watching the stranger carefully. He could tell she was a shinobi since she held a katana around her waist and had a pouch that had some waepons sticking out. The only thing she didn't have was a head band telling what village she was from.

The woman didn't seem to notice Naruto's stomach. But then it happened a seccond time. And now she definatly noticed. she turned around really quick and gave the forest a good stare down.

Oh crap. Naruto She heard me.

"Who's there." Said the woman with a stern voice.

Naruto you better not blow our cover or I swear I will.. Sasuke thought. They were all getting nervous.

"Show youself!" Evryone just stayed as still as humanly possoible.

"If you dont come out right now I swear I'll burn down this entire forest!!"

Yeah right. thought Kakashi. But as soon as it passed thorugh his mind the woman streched out her hand as it became engufed in chakra and flames.

The whole team gaped and at Kakashi's signal they franticly jumped out of the tree and revealed themselves to the stranger.

"Thats better" She said "Now who are you and what do you want?"

We could ask you the same question." Said Sasuke

"You first The woman again streched out her flame.

"Okay okay!" Kakashi said hastily "My name is Hatake Kakashi I am the sensei of theese three. We are from Konoha the village hidden in the leaves.We were just training till we saw you."

"Now its your turn." said Naruto

"Fine." The woman said My name is Zukawa. I am on an important mission in wich I have no intention on telling you so if you excuse me I'll be on my way."

"I don't think so." said Kakasi. he stood right in front of her. "You somehow managed to infiltrate our village and tresspass on Konoha's training grounds. You don't even have a headband telling us what village your from. And that probobly means that you are a missing ninja who has comitted many crimes. So you expect us to let you go?"

She reached for her katana "Yes I do."

Kakashi pulled out a kunai "You have come with us."

"We'll see about that."

Kakashi charged and jumped over her and Zukawa spun around and swung the katana cutting him in his side. But he turned into a log "Ugh replacement!!" she screamed before she knew it she was being held down to the ground with a kunai at her neck.

"Now what do you think about cooperating now?" Kakashi asked

"Fine." She said.

As they walked into the village Kakashi told Sasuke and Sakura to find help and told Naruto to get the Hokage.Amd they obeyed. Mait Gai came to help Kakashi keep Zukawa from runnig off. They chained her hands tohether behind her back and pushed her to the Hokage's office to see what would be done with her.

Zukawa tried to struggle but was shoved every inch of the way as the Hokage called them in.

Naruto was extremely curious as to what was happening with the chick they found in the forest. So he stood outside the room and put is ear to the door so he could listen in.

"Naruto! What are you doing?" yelled Sakura.

"Be quiet Sakura. They'll find me out if you keep yelling like that."

Sakura decided she wanted to know what was happening too. So she put her ear against the door and started to listen.

"What are you two doing?" said Sasuke. "You know theyre just gonna find out."

"Sssshhhh!!" said Naruto "Not if were really quiet!"

Sasuke just stood there for a moment and then it seemed that he too was overcome with criosity since her also listened in to the conversation on the other side of the door.

"So what is so important that it had to interupt me from my meeting?" the hokage asked. He was in the middle of a meeting with Iruka about the new Accademy stuednts.

"A ninja from an unknown village sir." said Kakashi "She infiltrated the village and was found on the training grounds."

"Well an unknown village eh?" said the Hokage "So what business do you have in Konoha?"

"Thats none of your concern." Zukawa snapped

'You must be a missing ninja though you don't seem to be in the bingo book." he flipped through the pages of a book he had in front of him. "You can't tell us one single thing?"

She gave him an evil glare but said nothing.

"Sworn to secrecy I guess." The Hokage sat there in silence for a few minutes pondering something and then said, "You may take her to the prison for now gentlemen. Later I will have her interrogated."

Zukawa immidately spun around kicking Gai and Kakashi away from her and mangaed to get a kunai toand qickly pick at the chains to set herself free.Kakashi and Gai ran to her but they were to slow because she threw flames from her hands knocking them back .

She didn't even use hand signs. Kakashi thought.

She ran to Iruka and held him down so he coudn't move and put a Kunai at his neck.

"Let me go or its the end for him!!"
