"So you understand your mission?" the Tezukage asked.
"Hai sir" 3 girls replied.
"Your sensei, Yoko Yuuhi, is already---" the Tezukage started saying but the door opened, interrupting him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, sir..." a tall, skinny brunette walked inside with a dark brown tight trenchcoat on.
"Ahh... Yoko perfect timing...We were just discussing the mission" the Tezukage said and smiled "Girls meet your sensei, Yoko Yuuhi."
"Hello." The eldest with short brown haired girl said.
"Yo." The girl that seemed to be the youngest of the three said.
"..." The last girl just lured her brilliant blue eyes to the brunette and glared at her. She looked to be the middle of the bunch.
The Tezukage cleared his throat and started again while he handed all 3 girls a dark blue scroll. "That is the information about each of you to get familiar with each other. So read over it carefully because I don't want any of you girls to be a challenge against each other... your supposed to work as a team. You 3 are dismissed. Now go pack. Your mission starts tommorow at dusk."
"Hai!" the 3 said before disappearing with a poof followed by puffs of smoke.
"So do you think these girls are good enough?" Yoko asked directing herself to the Tezukage.
"Yes. Their past has been completely erased. Nobody will gather suspicion about who they really are and what they are there for. We and a few others know who they are. You did read the scroll I gave you yesterday, right?" he said and Yoko nodded. "And as long as they see through to the mission as they are suppose to, we should have no problems... Besides... it's only the chuunin exams... nothing dangerous like assassination or to affiliate with anyone..."
"Hai, they are pretty powerful for just Genin..." Yoko stated. "You didn't even give me enough information from the start... Exactly... who are they?"
"They aren't what they may seem." The Tezukage chuckled at Yoko's puzzled face. "You'll have to find that out yourself, Yoko. You're dismissed."
"Che..." Yoko said walking out the door.
The Tezukage got up from behind his desk and looked out the window that was behind him to the villiage below him. "Naoki, Terra, Mei, Yoko... I wish you all good luck."
Then he spotted Yoko. She was walking pretty fast, and she tripped and fell but stood up quickly and looked down to her feet before screaming: 'Damnit! Not again!' The Tezukage started to chuckle again. "Yoko... you never seem to change... not a bit. But I cannot warn off this feeling that something happened..."
Naoki's House
Naoki opened the door to only find someone occupying the chair in front of the door.
"Oh, I didn't know you were home Toran..." Naoki said to her twin brother not surprised. He looked as emo as ever in all black. He turned an emotionless face towards his sister.
"I can't believe you're posing as a genin, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yeah, there's someone I want to see..." she said slightly blushing.
"..." replied her brother. Naoki sighed. She could tell her brother wasn't pleased. She couldn't tell him the real reason she was going, to protect the other two and the Tezukage, because he wouldn't understand.
"I'm going to go pack...if you care..."
"Alright, I have to go back to work anyway..." And that was her brother's way of saying good-bye.
Terra's House
"Master Ambrosia should be on her way." a voice said siting on what looked as a chair. "I better prepare dinner..."
"Why do I smell such a familiar scent...? Almost like... Sanuo..."
"You've guessed right..." a different voice said.
Terra opened the gold framed door with a soft creek... "Taidaima!"
She turned on the light near the door.
"Well I better get my dinner ready..." Terra sighed.
She started trailing down one of the many halls of her house to find the kitchen.
"Grab a Soda... and I'm not that hungry... so I'll get some pocky..." She thought going to a cabinet. "I better get 2..."
A dark silhouette appeared on the opposite end from where Terra was standing.
"Your home Master Ambrosia?" a voice said...
"Yes Taka... I mean it is kinda obvious, yo..." said person replied. "And saying master makes me feel old I'm only 13... You should already know that, yo... Call me Terra..."
"Hai, gomen." Taka said "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow at dusk..."
"Ahh... will you need my assisstance?"
"Taka... what do you think, yo?"
"Hai, hai, Gomen." he said.
"You don't have to apoligize, Taka..." Terra said. "Umm... can you get my black backpack? The medium one? I wouldn't need much to carry... But I'll be in my room so just drop it off there, yo."
"Hai Mas---Terra." Taka said bowing and going up the stairs.
"I don't know when I'll be back though..."
Mei's House
Mei opened the door to her home.
"Hey mom!" she stepped in the door putting her keys in her pocket.
"Hi Mei." She called from the kitchen. Her mother didn't have the same Irish accent that Mei and her other sisters had.
"So did you get your mission?" A blue haired girl walked up to her.
"Hey Tenae…No 'Hi Mei how are you?' or 'Welcome home'?" She rolled her eyes.
"No. I just wanna know about your mission!" She pouted.
"Hey mom where is dad?" She put her hand on top of her sister's messy hair.
"I asked you a question you know!" Tenae struggled to get her point across. Sometimes it was hard being the second youngest...
"Your father is in the office with the Tezukage. I think he's doing paperwork..." She shrugged.
"I'm gonna go start packing." Mei said heading upstairs.
"So how long are you gonna be gone?" Tenae asked after her sister.
"Maybe...3...4 months?" She shrugged.
"4 months?" Her mom came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron. "Don't you think that's kind of a long time just to complete the chuunin exams?"
"I have no idea...but that's what the Tezukage told us." She started walking upstairs again.
"Well, see you soon" Tenae waved.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." She brushed her off.
Just as the girls finished packing, a summoned bird had appeared at the window of each of their houses with a scroll attached to its foot.
The scroll said:
Meet me at the North Training grounds where the VHTS-KIA Stone is...
-Yoko-sensei
P.S. Hurry up!
The scroll had wet stains and the ink was kind of slurred….but they knew it was just Yoko and not an ambush…
The girls closed the scroll and headed off to the training grounds. They weren't in much of a rush to get there. Besides...weren't they supposed to leave tomorrow morning?
"Oi... you're finally here..." Yoko said holding a bottle of sake.
"So what do you want?" one of the girls said with a hint of annoyance in her British accent.
"Oh... hic I can't hic get to hic know you guys?... girls?" Yoko said holding her hands up in a defensive way.
"Your drunk, yo." another girl said.
"No! hic Of course hic not!" Yoko yelled and out her hands on her hips.
"Whatever." The last voice said rolling her eyes. She whispered the last word to herself. "Slut..."
"Well. Anyways... Tell me your name hic, hobbies, things you like and things you don't like..." Yoko said leaning against a tree.
"I'm Naoki. That's all you need to know..." She had a British accent that accompanied her short light brown hair. She carried two weapons on her back, a sythe, a long pole with a single blade that curves downward, and a whip used for other purposes. Her light brown eyes closed in an annoyed way. And a light breeze ruffled the end of her black dress.
"I'm Terra, yo. I like senbon, kunai, shuriken, and any other type of weapon that's shiny..." She talked kind of slowish with no accent included. She had jet black hair with yellow tips at the bottom. She had on a dark purple and black halter top. With midight black cargo pants with the lightning villiage symbol embedded on one of the cargo pockets. Her dark purple eyes looking were at the teacher with shame. She had a mysterious black case attached to her back.
"Mei. Not M-A-Y. It's M-E-I" The irish-accented girl said, closing her blue eyes. She had black hair also with strange blue highlights. She wore a blue tube top with a cut going horizontally down her stomach. She carried a guillotine sword on her back, and her forehead protector was on her arm.
"Ok... well I'm Yoko Yuuhi. I like sake. My hobbies are drinking sake. I also like comparing the different types of sake. I don't like the cheap kind of sake... And my favorite bar is Kishiwa's Sake Club. And I have an older sister who resigns in Konoha..." She slurred and had on a white tank top on that was cut off at her midriff above her belly button, her hair styled in a half spiked ponytail while the rest of her hair was drifted on her shoulders. She was no longer wearing the trench coat. She had on a black leather miniskirt with fishnet stockings. She had red heeled shoes, the right heel missing, that didn't look that comfortable to walk in, let alone have a battle. On her feet her toenails were painted red, although chipped in certain areas.
"Obviously..." Naoki sighed. "No style..."
"Be Quiet!" Yoko yelled.
"I've never broken the heels off of my ninja sandals..." Mei murmured looking down to Yoko's feet.
"Yuck, how do you squeeze your feet into something that small?" She thought making a disgusted face.
"Or broke a nail before, yo..." Terra said bluntly. "I bet she just got them done too..."
Yoko looked at her feet and sweat dropped. Then she looked at one of her chipped red nails. "...Touché."
"So what do you want with us now?" Naoki asked impatiently taping her right foot.
"Umm... uhh... good question..." Yoko said. "I guess we're done..."
"Pathetic..." Mei dissapeared leaving a puff of white smoke appeared in her place
"I'm out, yo..." Terra left Yoko staring at her retreating back, dumbfounded.
"Naoki?" Yoko craned her neck looking for her.
A note in neat handwriting pined against the tree was left where Naoki was standing, it said:
'Already gone...'
"Hm!" Yoko said angrily stomping/limping away. "Damn shoes..."
The Next Day at Dusk
"Where the crap is our teacher?" Naoki asked leaning against the South entrance door of the Villiage.
"Who the hell knows?" Mei said.
Terra sighed "Who wants to know, yo?"
"Let's just leave her... then she can catch up or something..." Mei said walking through the gate. "I don't feel like waiting..."
"We have to go on foot?" Naoki asked.
"I'm not..." Terra said biting her thumb and grabbing a scroll from one of her pockets before doing the hand signs.
Boar, Dog, Monkey, Bird, Sheep
"Taka! Let's go!" Terra said before a big cloud of smoke appeared and lightning crashed against the smoke.
"Hai!" Taka replied.
The smoke soon faded, and then a guy about 19 or 20 years old appeared with Blue-Silver and black hair with almost wolf like ears. Midnight blue eyes with a serious look of defiancy and sincereness. He also had on the traditional Jounin outfit from Lightning. The Villiage symbol on the pocket of the jacket. Both hands in his pockets.
"A human…Wow, you summoned a human?" Mei asked with a bit of humor and amusement in her voice. "Is that even possible?"
"No, and you shouldn't mock a wolf..." Naoki said.
"It's a damn human! What are you talking about?!" Mei said getting annoyed
"A wolf…" Naoki said. "Trust me..."
"Taka... transform, please. We have to hurry, yo..." Terra said ignoring Mei's comment.
"Right master." he replied.
"Please I don't like honorific stuff... It's Terra, yo." she said.
"As you wish..." Taka said before another cloud of smoke appeared and as it dispersed a wolf that was alot taller then Terra herself appeared. Black marks almost identical to lightning on his fur and blue lightning engulffed part of his feet almost like flames.
"Are you guys gonna summon your animals too?" Terra asked getting on Taka's back. "I mean if we need to uphold our mission correctly. The best thing we can do is get a head start. And who knows how long it'll take if we set on foot, yo."
"Che... your right." Naoki sighed. "Yuki... come."
"Somebody did their reading..." Mei said.
Terra just scoffed.
Mei stood there and still wondered how a human could transform like that but she let it slide and snapped her fingers.
'I don't pay attention to commoners anyway...I don't give a damn on how she did that or why...I have bigger matters to take care of...' she thought.
"Mei, sweetie!" She smiled as the ground started shaking. Out came a huge tiger about 14 tons running up to her owner. Mei started rubbing her fur and she quickly jumped on her back.
"You named your tiger after yourself?" Naoki said tilting her head to the side.
"You see every one in my family who has a tiger has one named after them. Except my youngest sister... So mine was named Mei…I had her since she was a cub…"
The tiger purred under her and Mei smiled again.
"Hn... Leave your sensei , huh?" Yoko said limping out of lighning hair disorentated. "Note to self... buy shoes when I see the next civilization... and an alarm clock..."
Then Yoko stopped in her tracks.
"Screw this... Lets' go Dokueki!"
The ground had started to rumble from where Yoko was. And a giant pit had formed in front of where Yoko was standing.
Yoko stomped on the ground and a giant Crotalinae snake had appeared.
"Che... so... she is capible of doing something useful..." Mei retorted siting on her giant tigers back, staring at the recurring scene before them.
"Agreed." Naoki said bluntly.
"Well how far of a trip are we expecting?" Terra asked. "And I know it's a bit of a distance, yo..."
"We have to cross through Mist and take the bridge there..." Naoki sighed.
Terra looked up at the semi-clear sky. "Taka... you know where that is, no?"
"Hai, Terra." said person replied.
"Ok." she said before opening up the black case she had on her back.
"You play a cello, Terra?" Naoki asked.
"Hai, hai. It was something I learned from Taka when I was younger, yo." she replied before playing a soft key. "It's also a weapon but I rather not show just yet..."
"Che..." Mei said. "Whatever…" Mei smirked. "It still couldn't beat me or Naoki, little girl no matter what kind of weapon it is..."
"Hey now! No fighting and like the Tezukage said you guys need to work as a team..." Yoko said out of nowhere.
"Like hell I would. And no. Um... you cannot be talking. You do not know where I come from..." Terra said. "And you don't want to get on my bad side... trust me, baka..."
Naoki was siting criss-cross very impatiently on her phoenix's back her left leg twitching slightly...
"Is this your bad side?" Mei asked her as her smirk broadened. "It doesn't seem like it to me..."
"You don't know who I am. You really don't." Terra snapped back.
"Your Terra, obviously." Mei said annoyed as the highlights in her hair flickered from blue to red.
"Did your hair just change color?" Yoko stared at her pointing
"Yeah." She rolled her eyes.
"No I'm----" Terra started off... her eyes sliting into diamonds.
"Umm... Master! Please don't!" Taka said. "Don't risk transforming..."
"No, they should know who I really am..."
"But this could lead to them finding us..." Taka said. "And I don't think it's worth it..."
"Like hell I care now..." Terra said her nails turning narrow.
"Your changing..." Naoki said bluntly. "I don't think that would be a good thing, right? Ambrosia Utaka?"
"Utaka?!" Mei said. "No wonder... all bluff no truth."
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Terra roared, as her hair started to change all black.
Mei's hair flew back a little from her sudden outburst but other than that she didn't flinch.
"The 7 tail demon, eh? Plus your the missing heiress of the Utaka clan expecting an arranged marriage?" Yoko asked. "No wonder your undercover..."
"No. I left of my own free will. I didn't go undercover or shit like that..." Terra yelled.
"The Akatsuki." Naoki said. "Will be looking for you."
"Rae...?" Mei's eyes widened as she said that to herself. She looked back to Terra. 'This girl could let me see my sister after 3 years...I've got to provoke her so I can see Rae again...' Mei smirked shifting a peice of stray hair behind her ear.
"You don't know what its like to prove something you have to work for, especially if you get the worst impression from the start. You haven't been to hell and back..." Terra said putting her cello back in its case. "Unlike the rest of that clan I plan on proving something, not just sit around. And Tatsh... Tatsh. He proved something. And guess what happened?!"
Silence filled the air .
"I SAID GUESS!" Terra yelled.
"Hey. Let me out. I'll kill them for you..."
Terra put her hand up to her face. "No I won't let you..."
"What?" Naoki and Mei asked.
"He died! The Utaka clan doesn't appreciate people who get off their damn asses and do something for a change!" she said her voice changing in depth.
"I want to have fun killing these people."
"Shut up." Terra said to herself.
"Yeah, so? I may not know what it's like to prove something you have to work for...But I have been to hell and back...trust me..." Mei started her highlights turned a darker shade of red. "Do you think the only reason I'm powerful is because of THIS?!?" She said opening her eyes wide to reveal a bloody red and ghostly white bloodline.
"How the hell do I know if it looks almost like pinkeye?!" Terra roared.
Everyone ignored her blunt comment. "Sharingan? Or...Byakugan?" Yoko asked looking at her, but soon regretted it when she looked into her eyes. She froze on the spot.
"Neither Yoko-sensei." Mei looked back to Terra. "I know what It's like to go through hell...when someone thinks...no...expects you to be so fucking strong because your one of the 4 people on this earth with a fucking bloodline...you'll be pushed to the limit. And I do mean...the limit! Trust me, little girl, you do not wanna mess with me...you think you're so shitty strong...Kami, I hate people that think they don't have to train a day in their life and they'll be so damn strong!"
"WHO THE HELL SAID I NEVER TRAINED?!?!" Terra exclaimed. "I want to come OUT DAMNIT!"
'I sense something and it's not good...' Naoki thought.
"OK!!!! Thats enough of that!" Yoko said pushing through Mei and Terra.
"She started it." Terra said profoundly. 'That bitch."
"Ok, and your damn point is...?" Mei rolled her eyes. Her eyebrow twitched in anger and annoyance.
"SHUT UP!" Naoki yelled obviously annoyed, and her sythe in hand. "We need to take on this mission together. Not be sworn enemies... and I don't want to get pissed off."
"Che... she doesn't know me... Nobody knows me..." Terra said to herself.
"Calm down Terra..." Taka said. "It is nothing to fret about that is so critical to go in that form..."
"Che is right, little girl...you don't know me either..." Mei's eyes slowly turned downwards. The tiger under her just whimpered.
"Just...calm down! How far are we now?" Yoko said. "Please! There's too much tension..."
Mei's eyes changed back to baby blue and she closed her eyes impaitently and gripped the tigers fir.
'You sure better be glad I don't have a fucking demon bitch...I'll kill you with or without one...'
"About 250 kilometers from Mist..." Naoki replied.
"We gotta ways to go..." Terra said smugly. 'And you better be glad that I don't want to kill you...'
Mei rolled her eyes from the encounter a few minutes ago. 'Damn it I've let them see my bloodlimit...only used for emergencies...I'm becoming more like Rae...I need to cool down a bit before I kill someone...' She looked down at her tiger 'Or...something...' She stayed with her head down like that for a couple of minutes.
Terra silently scoffed as she thought.. 'An advantage of reading minds... so this demon isn't full of all sins after all...'
"Terra? Are you listening?" Taka asked.
"Huh? Oh gomen-nasai Taka... what were you saying, yo?" said person replied.
"She's returned to her nomal self..." Taka whispered to himself.
"Taka, you were saying?" Terra said.
"Terra. Excuse me if I'm wrong but, didn't Sanuo die in action with him?"
"Hai, your right..." she said. "Nani, yo?"
"I came across his scent before you arrived yesterday..."
"What?! That isn't possible... h-he died with Tatsh t-too..." She stuttered.
"But I'm not exactly sure. Do you think he really died?" Taka asked.
"H-hai... I saw it w-with my own eyes, of course he is, yo..." Terra replied back. "Let's just drop this Taka, I'm not in for a discussion like this..."
'Wimp...' Mei retorted.
"Uh...Mei?" Yoko yelled a couple of feet away.
Mei shot her head up to see she was far behind..."Oh...sorry." She said as her tiger started walking forward.
Naoki looked at Terra and patted Yuki to fly next to her.
"I don't need your pity..." Terra said.
"Ano, Terra. Tatsh Utaka, your brother. You said he died, hai?" Naoki asked.
"Hai." she responded looking down.
"Well I heard of him before hand, from someone I know..." Naoki started. "He was part of the Lightning 4, right?"
"How do you know about the Lighning 4?" Terra asked.
Yoko and Mei tensed at the said words.
"From somebody I know..." Naoki said. "Sanuo, was his wolf, am I correct?"
"Hai. He was Taka's younger brother."
"Ahh..." Naoki sighed. "How did you meet Taka then?"
Terra took out the cello from the black case and started to play again.
"When I left the clan at 12, I came across him when he was in his wolf form, he was scaveging for food. He wanted to fight me for what food I had left. He does put up a fight though. In both forms... And when I won, he wanted to become my servent. But I don't really think of him like that. More of a friend... right Taka?"
"Hai, Master." he replied back.
Terra stopped playing and sighed. "Old habits never change, huh?"
"Ugh... that thing is so annoying...' Mei thought. 'One day im gonna smash that bloody thing to bits.'
"I would love to see you try and I don't really care..." Terra retorted to herself.
"And I don't care that you don't care...and trust me I won't try I will..." Mei said laying down on her stomach rolling her eyes.
"I love to see you two are getting along!" Yoko smiled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Mei snapped.
'Just like me when I was young...' Yoko thought.
"You were young?" Terra asked with a serious face only for it to change quickly, trying to hold her laughter.
Mei smirked and snickered at Terra's comment while Naoki had a faint smile on.
Yoko 'hmphed' and kept going forward on her snake.
A Few Hours Later...
"Are we there yet?" Yoko asked desperately, laying on her snake.
"For the hundreth time... NO!" Naoki, Terra and Mei yelled.
"Gawsh... no need to be touchy about it..." Yoko said.
"Well then you shouldn't keep asking every 5 minutes!" Mei retorted.
"Well... how far are we then?" Yoko asked now playing with her hair.
"A good distance, yo..." Terra said.
"More specific please..." Yoko murmured.
"Tomorrow. We'll be there by tomorrow..." Terra said annoyed. "Does that answer your question, sensei, yo?"
"Hai." she replied.
"You doing okay, sweetie?" Mei asked patting her Tiger's fur as she purred.
"So your saying we're technically in Mist?" Yoko asked.
Naoki sighed. "WILL YOU SHUT UP?! I MEAN IT'S CLEARLY OBVIOUS THAT WE'RE ALMOST IN KONOHA SO STOP NAGGING!"
"Ok! Ok! I get it..." Yoko said but looked dead on from where they were walking. "You sense that?"
"I smell blood." Taka stopped in his tracks. "There is a fight going on..."
"Yeah. I sensed it too..." Mei replied.
"We can't let that stop us..." Naoki said. "Let's go Yuki."
Her phoenix roared and started to speed ahead.
"Taka!" Terra said as Taka jumped and started to run faster.
"Let's not lag behind Mei..." Mei said as her tiger sped up too.
"Yet again, leave your sensei, huh?!" Yoko yelled then sighed. "We should catch up too..."
Dokueki snarled but obliged. "You know Master won't like it when you disobey him..."
"Shut up... I know what I'm doing..." Yoko replied. "Besides, would he get rid of his favorite member so quick?"
"Whoa... what the hell?" Terra asked as Taka stopped running and skidded to a stop.
"They're blocking our way..." Mei said stopping too. "It's a bunch of wannabe thugs..."
"We'll kill the one's in our way..." Naoki said. "And the ones who don't listen."
"Don't you think that's going a little too far?" Mei asked.
"Ie. I've been dying on killing something in ages..." Naoki said as Yuki started to fly down to all the thugs on the bridge.
"Che. We got nothing better to do, yo..." Terra said. "How bout it?"
"Hell if I care." Mei replied as her tiger jumped down the rocky cliff.
Taka then suddenly disappeared and reappeared where Naoki was at.
"What the hell do you want?" one of the guys in the gang asked.
"Get out the way..." Naoki said.
"What are you gonna do, little girl?" the same guy asked.
"That's my line." Mei smirked
Naoki's eye twitched as she withdrew her scythe.
"You really wanna know?" she said jumping off Yuki's back standing on a rock.
"That was cute, now get out of the way so the men can finish their job..." Kikun said.
"Che..." Terra said appearing infront of the thug who last spoke. "Let us through, yo..."
"Who are you? And you dare challenge me?" the same guy, Kikun, boomed in Terra's face.
"Dude. Personal space..." Terra said backing up a little, reaching into her pocket. "Mints too."
"You little ignorant---" he started to say but got cut off.
Blood started to trickle down his mouth.
"Hn. I told you to give me personal space..." Terra said still holding her kunai, it drenched in blood. "But I do think it's too late to get a mint..."
"What the-?! Did you even see her move?!" one guy yelled. "It was so quick!"
"Any moron could see that was the slowest thing in the world..." Mei said smirking again. "No offence Terra."
"None taken, yo." She replied.
"Who the hell are they?!" another one asked.
"GAHH!" one of the guys yelled as blood spilled from the gash that was on his neck.
"Now I told you you didn't wanna know..." Naoki said.
"Don't leave me out from the fun, now..." Mei said with her guillotine sword in hand, blood dripping at the tip of it. "I want to get atleast more than 5 people..."
"I don't think Gato will like these girls bothering him when he's talking buiseness!" Shinero said.
"You can stay." Mei said at the guy with her sword slung over her shoulder pointing to her right cheek. "I'll even give you the first shot..."
"What the hell are those girls doing?" Yoko asked siting on the top of the cliff watching the scene below her.
"We better go tell Gato about them!" Hitoshi yelled retreating.
"Retreat!" another guy yelled.
"Let's follow them." Mei said before jumping in the air and throwing her sword at one of the retreating backs and cut him in half.
"C'mon Taka!" Terra yelled and did a flip and landed on a running Taka's back. "Follow them, yo!"
"Hai!" he replied jumping on the rocks.
Terra grabbed a handfull of senbon and kunai while throwing more of them aiming perfectly to their spines. "It won't kill ya, but I know it'll slow ya down!"
"Gato... why are you here?" Zabuza asked. "And what's with all these men?"
"The plan has changed a bit. Sorry, but, Zabuza, I'm gonna have to kill you here..." Gato said with his henchmen behind him.
Zabuza's eyes slightly widened. "What?"
"Hiring normal ninja is expensive... so I get missing-nins like you." Gato started off. "The ninjas battle it out, and, with any luck thay kill each other, saving me both money and effort..."
Naoki, Terra and Mei are right behind Gato's gang and starts to run in and kill them all.
"But the Demon of the Hidden Snow... What a joke, you cant be serious... You're just a cute baby devil." Gato said as his crew started to laugh.
"Who are these guys?" a blonde boy on the other end from where Gato was standing said to himself.
Then a Tiger jumped out from behind where Gato's was standing and skidded to a stop.
"Che... you guys aren't even worthy of fighting..." Mei said standing near Gato.
"What the hell do you want?!" Gato snapped.
"Hm... I don't know... ask her..." Mei said pointing to the girl on the Phoenix.
"Ok... So I'm waiting for an answer..." Gato yelled.
"I want you dead..." Naoki said dead serious with a glare.
"How are you girls gonna do that?" Gato laughed.
"You really want to know?" Terra asked.
"No. I want to kill him..." Zabuza said getting up. "Boy, hand me your kunai..."
The blonde tossed his kunai at the said guy and he started to charge at Gato.
"Do it now! Kill him!" Gato yelled running into the crowd.
"One badly ninja againt these numbers? You gotta be kidding me..." one of the guys said. "You think you can win?"
"You might wanna take that back, yo..." Terra said. "Turn around."
'What the---?!" Kintaro yelled turning around. "We lost more than half of our men!"
Zabuza started to charge at the rest killing them in one easy strike.
"We got reinforcements coming anyway!" Narando yelled.
Gato was at the end of the bridge while Zabuza was catching up with him.
"A devil!" Gato said in fear as he got struck and coughed up blood. "If... if you want to go to the same place as your friend... than go alone!"
"Unfortunatly... I don't plan on going to the same place as Haku... " Zabuza started off.
"What? You won't survive... " Gato said.
"You and I together... are going to hell!" he finished before striking Gato one more time and he fell down off of the edge of the bridge...
"Damn... that was something..." Mei said sarcastically. "I still wanted to kill him though..."
"Got that right..." Naoki said
"This is so boring..." Terra sighed
"Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!" the pink haired girl sobbed.
"Sakura... your heavy... get off..." the raven haired boy said still covered in senbon.
Sakura gasped. "Sasuke-kun? ... Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun! Your alive!"
She started to cry while hugging him in a close embrace.
"That's great, Sakura..." Tazuna said.
"Sakura, that hurts." he said wincing while siting up. "Where's Naruto? And... that masked kid?"
"Naruto is fine..." Sakura started off. "And... the masked kid is dead..."
"Dead?" Sasuke repeated. "Naruto killed him?"
Sakura nodded her head. "I'm not sure, but... he protected Zabuza."
'He... from the beginning...' Sasuke thought.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled as the said person turned around.
"Sasuke's alright!" Naruto said.
"He's alive!" Sakura said waving
"So... Sasuke is alright..." the jounin said turned around to where Sakura was. "That's great..."
"Ewww... how touching..." Mei said disgusted.
"Hey, hey, hey!" a guy said banging his weapon on the ground. "You guys are too relaxed"
"Damn ninja... you killed our meal ticket!" Shindo said.
Aburin glared at the Ninja's in front of them. "You guys are dead! Now we have to pillage this city and take everything of value!"
"Hey Kakashi-sensei... dont you have a special jutsu to defeat them all?" Naruto asked.
"I can't, I used to much chakra..." he replied.
"We'll help..." Naoki said holding her scythe.
"We can finally continue..." Mei said. "About time..."
"And don't you try and run this time, yo!" Terra said chucking a good amount of kunai at some of the guys.
An arrow shot from behind where Terra, Naoki and Mei were.
'Who are they?' Sakura thought.
"You don't need to know that..." Terra replied.
"If you come anywhere closer onto our island... the citizens of this country will stop you with everything we got!" one of the villiagers yelled holding a pitchfork.
"Inari!" Naruto yelled happily.
Terra was stabbing one of the guys in the arm and ripping the kunai back out.
"Okay I'll help out!" Naruto said forming a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"
5 Naruto's appeared and the thugs gasped.
"I can do that..." Kakashi started off.
Naoki stopped and looked at the silver-haired ninja in awe.
"It might scare them at least..." he said before doing the same sign. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"
Dozens of Kakashi's appeared while saying "Kakashi style!"
Thud. Thud.
"Oh shit! She fainted!" Mei yelled before jumping to Naoki's side.
"What happened?" Yoko asked landing near the fainted Naoki.
"She obviously fainted..." Terra said.
"How though?" Mei asked.
Kakashi glanced at the 3 girls huddled around Naoki and he looked back forward. 'I know her... from somewhere...'
Yoko looked at the silver haired ninja and smirked. "Oh...?"
"Oh... what damnit?" Terra asked.
"Nothing. Nothing. Just put her on Taka's back for now..." Yoko instructed. "And then we fight."
"Finally something that isn't stupid..." Mei scoffed before reaching for her guillotine sword.
"Take her over there to Yuki, Taka, and find some water..." Terra instructed.
"Ahh! Let's get out of here!" Shoka yelled.
"RETREAT!!!!!" another guy yelled jumping down the bridge landing on the boat as all the other guys followed suit.
"HEY! GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE, WIMPS!" Mei yelled thrashing her sword all over the place.
Yoko and Terra backed up a little so they wouldn't get cut while a sweat drop formed on the back of their heads.
"We should get going now, yo..." Terra said.
"Yeah... and I know since Naoki is in this state we need to hurry up..." Yoko stated.
"W-what state?" a voice behind them muttered.
"Hey. Wow. Your up Naoki." Yoko said.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" she said. "Let's just get going."
"H-hey! Just hold on!" Sakura said. 'Th-that was horrible! What you did!"
"You should say thanks for what we did to help you." Mei said. "I mean that was a pity to get the townspeople to help you..."
"Mei!" Yoko yelled.
Mei sighed halfway to raising her hand.
'Who are they?' Sakura thought.
"You don't need to know that, yo..." Terra said again scowling.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto started off.
"Yes, Naruto..." he replied.
"Who are they?" Naruto asked.
"They come from Lightning. But that's all I know." Kakashi said standing up.
"You don't even know what rank they are?" Sakura asked.
"Genin." Sasuke said calmly.
"Did he just call me a genin?" Mei said stepping forward dangerously.
"Whoa... whoa... calm down, yo!" Terra said as Naoki and herself held Mei back.
"Yeah! You lucky they holding me back! Yeah! What!" Mei said. "Cause I don't mind kicking your ass boy!"
"Genin?! Sasuke! You can't be serious!" Naruto said. "Did you see how many people they killed?"
"Yes Naruto. And if they were any higher rank they would have a chuunin vest on, like their sensei..." Sasuke pointed out.
"If they were any higher rank they would have a chuunin vest on like their sensei" Mei mocked him breaking out of Naoki and Terra's grasp with ease.
"He does have a point Naruto..." Kakashi said. 'They don't even have mercy at that matter... their sensei didn't lift a finger.'
"Yeah... that's cause our sensei is useless, yo..." Terra said simply.
"HEY!" Yoko said standing up from when she was siting looking at her nails.
"Hi." Naoki said. "Now shut up."
"H-hold on, who has the mind to talk to their sensei like that?" Sakura asked.
"Umm... lemme see... Oh! I know. Me." Naoki replied rudely. "We should get going now..."
Mei laughed at Sakura's attempt to confront them and at Naoki's answer. "Girl...just shut up!" She said laughing between her words.
"HEY! Nobody treats Sakura-chan like that, believe it!" Naruto yelled pointing at Mei.
"...Am I supposed to be afraid of you or something?" Mei said before laughing again.
Naruto growled.
"Sooo... scary..." Terra scoffed.
"Let's go..." Naoki said.
"Taka!" Terra yelled.
"Taka?" Naruto asked. "Who's that?"
"You don't need to know that, yo." Terra said as Taka started to charge down the rocky cliff.
"I'm sorry for the tardiness, Master..." Taka said as Terra sighed.
"No honorrific stuff... it's already turning into a habit, yo."
"Old habits die hard, right?" Taka replied.
"I guess so..." she replied.
"Mei! Sweetheart! You come back too!" Mei shouted waving her hand as a loud roar boomed the area.
Naoki jumped back on her phoenix's back.
"Do you mind to share with us how come you fainted?" Yoko chirped.
"It's none of your damn buiseness!" Naoki snapped a tint of red on her face as she kneeled on her phoenix.
"Ok... yet again touchy..." Yoko replied back.
"SHUT UP!" Mei yelled. "Your getting on my freaking nerves again..."
"Why can't we get along...?" Yoko muttered to herself.
"Because we choose not to, yo." Terra replied playing with a strand of her hair. "Well, we don't choose to get along with you."
"Did I ask you for your answer?" Yoko snapped.
"Did we ask you to be our sensei?!" Naoki, Terra, Mei snapped back.
Yoko was siting in a corner depressed. "You didn't have to say that you know..."
"Yeah... don't care..." Mei said.
