It was a gorgeous day to be out and training. But not for the Rookie 9, their senseis, or Neji, Lee, and Ten Ten. They had been called because of an urgent meeting with the Hokage. But when they got there, they found out she was in ameeting with the elders. Now they are sitting in the waiting room outside the Hokage's office. Almost two complete hours have passed and Tsunadae was still in her meeting. It was now 11:00 am and still no sign of Tsunadae. At this time, Choji, Ino, Shikamaru, and Naruto could be found asleep.
All were surprised when they heard a door open and Tsunadae appeared. She had a look of worry and happiness splattered across her face. She had a bottle of sake in hand so everyone guessed that the news the elders gave her must of made her overreact. She stepped into her office being followed by the swarm of shinobi. She took a seat at her desk and sighed a deep sigh. Everyone waited patiently as she looked up to them with almost tears in her eyes.
"Well then," she started," I've called you here because of an important matter I must discuss." Everyone listened closely without even a sound made. Everyone was surprised that Naruto wasn't yelling or complaining.
"As you all know, the ANBU exams are this year." When they heard her say ANBU, all eyes widened."Well, they are not going to take place here. They are taking place in a newly discovered nation even further away then Sound. But to get there you must cross passes with Sound for a shorter path. But as you know, Sound and Leaf have had there diffrences. So you will not cross through Sound to get there. You will instead head west and go around to the Village Hidden Amoung the Stones." She paused and glanced at all of the Jounin wanting to become ANBU."Any questions?"
"Yes I have one," Said Naruto," Where are we going to stay at the Stone Village?"
"I..." She paused glancing over to Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. "I have organized an agreement with their Kage. You will be supervised by some of their strongest shinobi."
"And exactly who are the shinobi that are supervising us?" Asked a curious Sakura.
"They should be arriving at the gates in a few minutes. They are going to lead you to their village. You will have to leave now for it will take a long journey to get there."
Everyone left to get packed and returned to the Village's gates. There they waited until everyone arrived one by one. The last to come was Kakashi, who made up one of his lame excuses and got yelled at by Naruto and Sakura. At last it came to their attention that it was getting late. They checked the time and realized that it was now 5:00 pm. Asuma decided to go ask one of the guards if they had seen villagers from Stone come in. The guard said no and everyone was left to wait.
It wasn't until Tsunadae came by that they decided to find out if they were leaving today. Tsunadae responded that they were to leave at 9:00 pm because of fear of an enemy anbush. So they waited and waited and waited. They soon got hungry and went to eat ramen. That is where they found a boy that looked alot like Naruto. Everyone angerly suggested that one Naruto was bad enough but now there were two! Sakura decided to sneek up behind him and tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and the shinobi saw that he had a Stone Village headband, blue eyes and spiky, blonde hair.
"Can I help you?" He asked as he looked at Sakura and the shinobi behind her.
"Yes. Can you tell us who you are?" Asked Sakura in her sweetest voice.
"I'm sorry but I don't give out private information unless I know about you." He said in a polite tone as he got up from his seat and paid the man. He then turned back to the crowd and bowed politely then left.
"Wait!" Kiba yelled as the boy passed right in front of him. He grabbed his shoulder and stopped him. The boy just starred at Kiba.
"Listen," He said in a stern voice," I have to go meet up with my team and pick up some shinobi to take them to our village. So if you don't mind." He said as he broke from Kiba's grasp.
"We're those shinobi!" yelled Ino as the boy was leaving. He stopped in his tracks and looked over the ninja. Then he smirked and turned his back.
"Well, then follow me." He said as he started to walk toward the forest. Everyone hurriedly followed until they came across a clearing.
"Hey guys! You can come out now! I found the ninja we're suppose to take to our village." He yelled and then stepped back to give extra space. Out of the trees came a girl with long shoulder length pink hair and light green eyes with a boy with black hair and eyes. Everyone gapped at the ninja and then turned to see team 7. Then Ino yelled out in her ear-splitting voice.
"OH MY GOD!!!! YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE SAKURA, NARUTO, AND SASUKE!!!!!" When the boy that looked like Sasuke heard the names he looked at his partners and then looked back at the group.
"Who are you?" Asked a serious Kakashi. The Sakura clone and Naruto clone turned to the Sasuke clone as if asking for permission to speak. Then they turned back to the group.
"I am Sakumo Haruno." Said the girl that looked like Sakura.
"I am Matroni Uzamaki." Said the boy that looked like Naruto.
"And I am Zazuken Uchiha." Said the last and obvious leader of the group.
Everyone looked at Tsunadae and saw that she knew from the start. She looked at the strange ninja from Stone and shook her head at the ninja.
"Well then that means that Sakura and Naruto belong to clans, right?" Asked Shikamaru to the other villagers and Zazuken nodded.
"Then, Sasuke still has a clan since you're an Uchiha, right?" Asked Sakura hoping that Sasuke still had a family. Matroni and Sakumo looked at Zazuken with sad expressions and then faced the ninja. Sakumo slowly shook her head and Matroni clenched his fists in anger.
"Then what happened?" Kakashi asked. Sakumo was about to answer when she felt Zazuken stir. She glanced back and saw Zazuken turn his back to leave.
"Wait Zazuken!" Sakumo said as she ran and stopped Zazuken in his tracks. "We can at least tell them why we all have the same surname!" Zazuken just glarred at her and all of the sudden she started to lose conciousness and fall to the ground. Matroni saw and ran before she hit the ground. The rest just watched as the one called Zazuken walked around them and left.
Soon after he left, Sakumo regained conciousness. She starred up at Matroni and tears ran down her eyes like waterfalls. She cried as Matroni tried to calm her. He finally succeeded and gazed at the path Zazuken took to leave. Everyone was utterly horrified that the girl had fainted without Zazuken having to do anything. Then Tsunadae and Sakura walked up to the girl and examined if she had any injuries. There were none and that surprised the medics.
"What were you about to say, Sakumo?" Asked Kakashi as he walked up to her. Sakumo and Matroni got up from the ground and she was about to answer when she felt lightning strike her head. She was loosing her balance and Matroni helped her then looked at Kakashi.
"I apoligize for the disturbances but Sakumo was put under a very strong jutsu made from Zazuken's Sharingan. If she tries to answer your questions, she will have a nervous breakdown. The same goes for me." He replied. Kakashi looked at him like he would to Itachi but soon left it behind.
"Which Sharingan are you talking about?"
"If you need any answers about Zazuken we cannot provide them. You will have to ask him yourself." He replied thinking that the shinobi did not care about their health.
Soon Sakumo and Matroni sensed a familiar chakra and looked at a tall oak tree next to them. Their eyes widened in fear as they saw their leader, Zazuken. They got up quickly and backed away, Matroni protecting Sakumo from another beating. Kakashi looked up and the rest followed suit. They saw Zazuken leaning on the tree, hands stuffed in his pockets, starring down at Sakumo. Once he realized all eyes were on him, he jumped down from the tree and earned a gasp of terror from Sakumo.
All of the Leaf shinobi stepped in front of Sakumo and Matroni, also protecting them from Zazuken. Tsunadae was in front of the whole group. She glarred fiercely at Zazuken, warning him that if he took another step toward Sakumo, he would get a nasty beating. Zazuken ignored the gaze and warning and took a step forward. Tsunadae threw a kunai in front of him an slashed his knee. Then all of a sudden, Sakumo and Matroni started to cough out blood. Sakumo was coughing out more blood then Matroni and was losing it fast.
Tsunadae glarred back at Zazuken and saw no expression. He was moving in fast and Tsunadae kept throwing kunai at him. He didn't dodge any and just kept movin. A kunai had pierced his shoulder, another his leg, and the other his abdomen. He didn't even bother to take them out and just kept on moving toward his teammates. But Tsunadae saw that he treated them like dirt. She took out a katana and was about to run at him when she saw Sakumo move toward him with all the strength she had left.
"Please. I..beg you...do not hurt him." She said slowly between breaths. Tsunadae nodded and Sakumo walked over to Zazuken. Everyone looked at them, kunai at hand, just in case he tried any thing funny. They watched as Sakumo embraced Zazuken in a hug and he enbraced back. They were shocked that this cold-hearted boy that had just hurt his teamates was now hugging them. Matroni walked over as well and patted his leader on the back. Tsunadae was the one to break the silence.
"Zazuken, can you tell us what kind of Sharingan you posess? Like the Mageuyko Sharingan?" Zazuken released Sakumo from the hug and walked over to Tsunadae. The Jounin ready to fight if he hurt the Hokage.
"I posess the Third Stage of the Sharingan. I posess the Surmicek Sharingan."
