"I really hate this bridge!" Nindwe cried as she and Raina crossed a incredably unstable bridge. "Why? I think its kind of fun!" Raina cried as she moved quickly ahead of her cousin. "I don't know why the Hokage had to send us on this stupid mission, I mean does she really think that we can survive in Orochimaru's hideout." Nindwe grumbled as they walked up a flight of stone steps. Raina smiled and waited for Nindwe to catch up. "Oh come on were stronger than we look." The two girls made it to the top and stopped. A ninja was walking in their direction. Nindwe tightened a hand around her kunai and Raina stood frozen.
As the ninja neared Nindwe tensed preparing to attack, until she noticed that the ninja was smiling at them. They both stared as the ninja walked past them, they continued to stare until the ninja turned into Anko and she dissappered.
"What was that all about?" Raina asked her cousin as they began to walk again. "I don't think the Leaf Village trusts us yet."Nindwe replied softly. "But why we've lived there for such a long time." Raina whispered rather sadly. Nindwe watched Raina for a time, and
thought of a plan to pay the Leaf Village back for all the trouble they caused for the two of them.
"Don't worry they'll learn soon enough." Nindwe whispered. Raina nodded and they walked on thinking of the painful memories. Soon the sun began dwindling as it slowly started to set. Nindwe and Raina watched as the beautiful colors spread across the azure sky. It put them in a better mood and they decided to find refuge for the night.
"Raina, Raina. RAINA YOU LAZY LUMP GET UP!!" Nindwe shouted as she tried to wake her cousin for the third time the following morning. Nindwe sighed as Raina simply yawned and rolled over, Nindwe started to walk towards the edge of the camp when she stepped on a stick. Raina sat up abruptly and looked around wildly as she heard the stick snap, Nindwe stared at her and sighed in exasperation and then began to laugh as her cousin stared at her in confusion. "What does it take to get you up in the morning?" Nindwe gasped between laughs. "Well it shouldn't take too much." Raina replied. At that Nindwe collapsed to the ground hardly able to breathe for laughing.
Three hours later the two cousins followed the directions that the Hokage gave them. "Nindwe, are you sure this is the right way?" Nindwe nodded at her cousin and briskly walked on. Raina stared at her cousin. Someone's in a bad mood. "Hey Nindwe have you ever noticed how smooth these rocks are it's like they shaved or somethi-!Raina yelped as she slid on the rock and kicked her cousin's ankle with her flying foot. Nindwe heard Raina yelp and for some reason her ankle now throbbed. "Raina are you okay?" she asked while rubbing her ankle. Raina got up and stared at the rock angerly. "YES I'M FINE BUT THIS ROCK AIN'T!" Nindwe laughed. "What are you going to do to it?" Raina looked at Nindwe and saw the humor in her eyes. "IT'S NOT FUNNY NINDWE!" Nindwe started laughing harder. Soon Raina calmed down after seeing how ridiculous she was being and joined in laughing.
As Raina and Nindwe neared the bottom of the mountain they noticed a few of what looked to be Orochimaru's minions. "Raina look it's some of Orochimaru's ninja!" Nindwe accidentally shouted, wincing as it echoed off the walls of the mountain. The enemy ninja spun around and the two girls dived into the crevice of the rock wall. The
ninja walked to the spot right in front of the crevice and looked around confused. Nindwe and Raina held their breath and watched the minions leave. Raina turned to Nindwe and glared, "You nearly got us killed." She whispered. Nindwe just smiled softly "You know you really ought to be more positive." She said lightly as she walked out of the crevice. Raina sighed and followed her out and into the sunlight.
Meanwhile back at Orochimaru's lair…Orochimaru and Kabuto listened as the sound four told them about the two little spys from the Leaf Village. Sakon told them how one of them decided to shout at the top of her lungs. Orochimaru laughed so hard that he fell down in a crumpled heap. The sound four look startled. Kabuto told them to leave as Orochimaru burst out in song. When they were gone Kabuto helped Orochimaru up as he kept singing Touch My Body. Kabuto's left eye twitched and Orochimaru finally got a hold of himself. He looked at Kabuto seriously and wide eyed. "I don't know what came over me." Kabuto nodded and watched as Orochimaru went into his room. When he was gone Kabuto started humming the same song.
