First Chapter: Tomorrows past
"Let me get it right, there is a what?"
"A portal, actually a dimension of sorts,"
"….Yeah, sure, I'll get along in making my mind believe that. Kakashi sensei! I am no longer 14!" short pause "well, just take it as I am no longer naïve," spoke the slightly colored teen.
"Yes yes, I will take that in mind," the pale grey haired man said while taking a green book from his back pocket, his hip attitude not gaining much of attention.
"Just how many times have you read that book… Anyway, I'll check if the 'thing' sucks people and sends her to the under-world," She said, brushing the short front hairs lying on her for-head from her dark eyes, not straying from her usual joking and mocking words.
"Go and see it yourself, give it a try in being affected," said neutrally the calm reading Kakashi, somehow in a slight disturbed way.
"Sorry?" Asked the girl in a half perplexed expression.
"Nothing nothing, if you excuse me," took few steps the over calm sensei still reading and disappearing with a small white smoke.
"Ha, already wanting me to disappear, well, what can I expect from a Virgo," Spoke silently the dark haired girl in a half smile, inclined towards the sarcastic side. "Sorry, I am not planning in disappearing just yet," spoke alone with a soft cocky voice.
Morning was coming, she impulses herself to jump high and landed on a high tree, skipping and jumping through the lavish green forest she arrived to the ceiling of the main gate where some guards were in guard nins stood in upward position, seeing the girl quickly arrive on top, the nearest smiled.
"Training already?" He asked the landing girl.
"Nah, with which sensei anyway?" She mentioned jokingly, referring of them to be still sleeping.
"Ha ha, aren't you a busy one," said the guard standing in his initial position, concentrating in the horizon beyond the forest.
"Ha, talking about busy, well, I'll do a favor and disappear, see ya," once again, she had jumped towards another ceiling.
Konoha sure looked so quiet and peaceful at morning, its giving rays lightened gracefully over the houses and streets. "Here we are," the dark haired girl stopped in one of high buildings near the main one of the hokage and lifted her face to admire the morning glow reflecting each detail from the carved faces on the rocky mountain, a beautiful sight of indeed. So did they expect people admire their carved faces one day? She began to think. Or is it a resemblance for you looking at your village? Her warm gaze viewed each Hokage. "Of course including you Tsunade-sama," she widened her smile into a big grin. "Too bad the others are dead… did all of them die from protecting the village?" She spoke softly, in mere whispers. Her eyes drifted to the second last carved face. "Yondaime… I wonder…" her eyes slightly half closing, with this, she took few steps side and impulses for, yet again, a jump, now towards one of her friends.
"These are the current status the genins are affording during missions, D rank missions are still waiting for support and also the reports of dimen-" The documentary analyzer Shizune was interrupted by the snore of a certain hokage.
"Tsunade-sama!! This is no time for sleep!!!" Yelled the angered woman to Tsunade obligating this one to jump from her current administer seat.
"Shizune, you should control your yelling," said the half sleepy hokage as she rubbed constantly the back of her head in laziness.
"Tsunade-sama, you know fully that-" "Don't worry, yesterday I didn't drink, anyhow, you were telling me?" Tsunade took a long yawn and then straightened her back for formal support.
"Y-yes, genins are currently-" "Tsunade-sama! There is an emergency!" The door behind Shizune bursted open showing a fatigued jounin trying the catch his breath.
"What did you say?" Asked seriously Tsunade as her eyes narrowed slightly.
"A-Akatsuki, members from the Akatsuki have entered to Konoha!" Exclaimed the masked anbu leaving the two women perplex. "What did you say?" Tsunade gained calmness after the astonish news and quickly narrowed her eyes in a serious manner.
Naruto's house laid not far from the stone wall sculptures, she supposed. The black haired girl jumped from roof to roof, her black light weighted leathered cloth surged from the beginning of the black wide shorts on the back of the girl making it lift in every landing or air impulse from below. Her rather loosened red shirt supported it's feather weight by the two clothes tied firmly from our protagonist on the back of the neck, it revealed her wide shoulders and the upper back, a narrow décolleté finished up the beginning of the stomach while the shirt's size reached, in calm posture, till the ending of her navel.
"Wonder if Ino or Sakura have some free time," she quickly removed some tuft short front hairs from her dark eyes. She had let her hair free this time, tying it up wasn't on her mind, neither long of short, it reached till the upper part of her wide back.
"Ok, today I'm taking a whole day break," she grinned to herself as she stopped in the roof of the building where Naruto's department was, she crouched and left her two toes balance her weight.
It has been 2 years since Naruto's departure; he had come back with Jiraiya and with more black, now, Naruto being 14 years old, almost 15, he showed the gleam of ambition, knowing he was yet a step closer of becoming hokage.
"Yet, me being 16, he already passed my height," she slightly sighed with a smile. A pink petal fell gracefully on top of her dark head, that's right, we are now in spring eve, the blossom trees will be soon full of sakuras, can't wait for that to happen.
"Now now," She stood from her current position and jumped to Naruto's small terrace, is the door better? Never mind. She knocked, at first, gently on the thick glass, a curtain covered all sight from the inside, there was no response. As she sighed and was about to knock again, the curtains from the inside moved revealing the one inside the building.
"Hey Naruto!" She greeted with a smile on her face as her smile was paid back by the warm one of the ready Naruto.
"Sohee-chan!" He then opened the window making contact with the sweet air from outside.
"Just wanted to pass by and see you," Sohee sweetly said.
"You sure made about time! Wanna have some ramen? I was about to go to Ichiraku's so some company wouldn't be bad, yet…" Showed Naruto a somewhat worried face followed afterwards by the giggles of Sohee.
"Don't worry, I pay for myself," replied Sohee pointing with her thumb to herself. "Now, aren't you relieved?"
"Ehhh!? A portal?" Said Naruto in intriguing curiosity, both young nins jumping, heading towards I Ichiraku.
"Yeah, I talked with Kakashi this morning about it. Of course, we don't know much of it," said Sohee while jumping.
"Sohee-san?" Asked suddenly Naruto catching the attention of the girl.
"Yeah Naruto? Something wrong?" She politely asked.
There suddenly an awkward silence between both of them, one waiting for the question.
"Naruto?" Sohee showed a confused face, both of them didn't stop in their jumping phase.
Naruto looked at Sohee and began to speak.
"About the Chunnin exam…" Naruto began somehow in insecure voice. Sohee quickly remembered, Naruto hadn't been classified Chunnin yet, after all, it was only 2 years of training, away from Konoha.
"Yes?" Questioned Sohee for further conversation.
"I was wondering this morning if I should take again the Chunnin exam," said Naruto, not slowing his pace.
"Nah I don't think there's-" "Finally found you, hmph," interrupted a rather deep voice, was it what Sohee thought? Both quickly turned to face who it was, nobody.
"Who is there?" Asked Sohee while Naruto prepared for quick attacks. It was then someone appeared, not far from them, with the familiar clothes once seen. The black with red clouds...
"!" There was not needing of time for guessing who it was. The man retrieved the straw hat revealing his blonde tied up hair.
"I wasn't assigned to kill people like you, so, be a good girl and hand over the kid with the kyubi," the man said as his eyes fell upon the girl.
"W-Who are you? What is-" "Deidara, if so needed, now, are you going to hand the kid? I believe this is the less harm for you to ask, hmph," said Deidara.
"….Damn…"Both Naruto and Sohee narrowed eyes in alertness. What type of day this will turn to be?
"Naruto, this guy…" "I know" quickly answered the blonde boy as his eyes did not stray from Deidara.
"Hm? You won't?-" "Now!" Both of them disappeared from their spots.
"It's useless!" Deidara threw a white clayed bird and soon transformed to a big sized one flying with sharp speed towards the two, exploding just when being near enough to injure both.
"Ah!" Naruto exclaimed as he jumped to avoid the explosion yet it was to big, making Naruto still be in the damaging area.
"No!" Sohee quickly focused chakra into her feet to step quickly on air and grabbed Naruto from the arm, jumping right down the building forcing Naruto do every move she had done to avoid contact with the clayed bird.
"Naruto you've got to-" "If it weren't for Itachi I would have killed you from the beginning girl," Deidara's voice sounded right beside Sohee as she, effortlessly tried to run from him, he punched her in the shoulder and quickly made her float using his chakra, choking her with binds.
"Sohee!" Naruto quickly attacked Deidara making him defend the movement of the kid, letting Sohee fall to ground.
"We've gotta escape…" She muttered in heavy breaths as her vision slightly blurring.
"Deidara, haven't you captured it yet?" Another familiar voice sounded in the ears of the three, Naruto had been quickly punched and landed meters from Sohee.
The same garb, adding now a huge sword which somehow related to the Samaheda of a certain individual.
"…" No reply from the lips of Sohee.
"Look what we have here Itachi," said Kisame walking towards the injured Sohee. By hearing the name of which Kisame named, Sohee's heart stopped beating as if it created a tense and frozen air a time, things couldn't go any worse.
"Sohee," The girl didn't dare in lifting sight of the one who had pronounced her name.
"Deidara, quickly grab the kid," said Kisame, "Sasori isn't someone of patience either," he added.
Speechless and already aware of his mission, Deidara preformed quick handseals creating various explosive tags over the two young nins.
Naruto's eyes widened. "I gotta move!" He was making efforts in standing; Deidara didn't lose time in hitting Naruto in a important nerve.
Itachi looked, emotionless every act, his sharingan eyes seemed to be looking for a certain event to occur.
"Now!" Exclaimed innerly Sohee as her eyes turned red just when the explosions occurred. She had used the Sharingan, her blood limit, to escape with Naruto from the explosion, she ran quickly from the area, yet, was quickly surrounded by the same enemies. Her eyes were deep red and prepared.
"Naruto! Can you hear me?" She asked moving him a little.
"S-Sohee, I-I can fight," "Baka, you'll-" "Isn't this sight, right Itachi?" Kisame's voice was heard again, referring to Sohee and her activated Sharingan. Itachi did not reply neither showed emotion whatsoever.
"I will assure you won't get away," Deidara began to perform handseals, Naruto and Sohee were surrounded.
"Damn it…" She cursed in low tune. Suddenly, Sohee felt a sudden force from behind, was it sucking? Was she the only one feeling it? was it truly an energy? It was truly nonsense to act before not thinking, yet, she knew well there was no time or her to think much.
"What is that?" Kisame felt the energy around, Itachi narrowed his Sharingan eyes.
"Here goes," Sohee grabbed the near Naruto before anybody's attention and letted the energy deal the rest of her body and Naruto's.
"No! They are-" "Kisame, stop," said Itachi as the three missing nin saw the quick event of distortion, Sohee, with Naruto, had just disappeared by swirling winds from behind.
"They…" Kisame fell reluctant.
"Dimensions were taking part of Konoha," suddenly added Deidara, lowering his hands.
"So, where will they end up?" asked the blue skinned 'man'.
"Who knows," answered Deidara.
"It depends," suddenly added Itachi, calm and composed as always.
"Depends you say?" asked Kisame turning to his companion.
"Let's go," vanished Itachi, followed afterwards by the resting companions.
"Hmph, where have they gone," Deidara showed a rather unsatisfied expression.
