Chapter 1: The Return
"Speech"
Thoughts
Jutsu
Kamatarie and Kenyae sat on two stools staring at their sake at a bar in the middle of wave country. They both were drained and miserable. The long days travel and continuous rainfall can to discourage any one who got caught in the middle of it. They came across this little bar at the edge of the village and were glad that they could finally get out of the rain not that they had anything against it, it was just they spent the last two hours walking through it, and that made them really depressed, soaked and cold. Kamatarie looked up from his sake and surveyed the room. It was fairly large compared to the other bars they have gone into. One wall of the room was covered completely by pictures. From what he sees through dim light they are just photos of normal people most likely family and relatives of the owner. The other walls just supported shelves with objects that you would normally have in a typical bar. There were various booths scattered all around the room and of course the counter with its stools, and the various other assortments that he couldn't explain what they were, but other than that it was just an ordinary bar. The only problem was that he felt like someone was watching them. They had been there only for ten minutes and someone was already watching them and trying to intimidate them by leaking off weak killing intent. He could not pin point the person because the room was to dark and there were to many people in the bar looking at the "new comers", so he just turned back and took a sip of his sake, then turned to his friend.
"You can feel that right?" he asked with a slight chuckle. "I think someone wants to play."
With a smile Kenyae stated "oh yes I think that they want to play."
With that said they both paid for their drinks and turned to leave. Out in the modest sunlight you would see them as a tall dark pair that wore hitai-ate for leaf. Kenyae had short black hair that slightly spiked. He had dark green eyes that had a relaxed appearance; he was farley taller than the other man standing beside him. He wore his hitai-ate the traditional way just on the forehead. The shorter man Kamatarie had medium-short hair that was pure white and was long spiked towards the back of his head. He had bright blue eyes that enclose a cunning look in them. They could see his hitai-ate around his neck before he closed his cloak. They put on their straw hat on their on their heads and walked out the door. The rain had finally started to slow its pace, but the wind had picked up and their cloaks swayed in the wind. Just standing there that both looked intimidating enough with their high collar, long sleeved black cloaks with dark green swirls that looked like wind traveling around their cloaks and add their hat that obscured their face that really looked daunting. They started off towards the main path that will take them straight to Konoha.
As they walk along they felt the killing intent they felt earlier coming from the bar. They both just smiled and kept on walking down the road. The presence kept coming and started to pick up speed when they were out of sight from the bar. Kamatarie made a couple hand signs with one hand and a clone of him appeared and the real one leapt into the trees to watch the man come by. The Kamatarie-clone and kenyae kept on walking down the road and as the man following came by did not notice Kamatarie in the tree and kept on going. The man was of good build and wore tan ninja pants and a black long sleeve shirt with a jounin vest over top. He had the mist hitai-ate on his forehead and after the man had past him he set off after him keeping far enough away remaining undetected.
Kenyae and the Kamatarie clone were not going to go after the man behind them but instead they kept on walking waiting for the right moment to act upon and no sooner. They kept walking for another minute or two before they felt a spike of chakra behind them and that was their cue to act upon and they did dashing into the forest in time to doge the mini water twister that exploded and ripped apart the ground were they were a moment before. Kenyae started to chuckle to himself at this pathetic attempt to try and kill them. The man soon popped out and looked around to see were they have gone, and was surprised when the Kamatarie clone came from underneath him and pulled him under ground so that only his head was showing.
"Look at what I caught a little bug in the woods how amusing." the Kamatarie clone said looking a little disappointed. "I though I would have been a least a little harder than that to get you. O well can't expect everyone to be challenge." And with that said the clone dispersed and the real one walked toward the mist nin and stopped before him.
The mist nin narrowed his eyes "if you think that you have got me then you are sadly mistaken." Water started to pour out of the hole he was in and with another discharge of water he was free.
Kamatarie just stood there looking at him with a slight frown on his face. He should know that he does not stand a chance against me so why bother. Kamatarie just took a step back before the ground exploded spraying rock, mud and water into the air. He sighed and looked at the man who now had a smile on his face.
"You didn't think that I could break out of that one did ya." The mist nin said with a smug attitude. Then he put on a more passive face and went into his fighting stance.
With another great sigh Kamatarie went into his own stance "you don't know what you are getting your self into. You don't even know whom we are do you? Cause if you did you would not be trying to go against me now would you? Hmm"
"What do you mean I don't know who you are?" The mist nin stated "you are Kamatarie unihyshi from Konoha and your friend is Kenyae saishe also from Konoha. Both of you are rated as S-Class nin to us and said to be extremely dangerous and to approach with caution if spotted and to be killed on sight if possible."
"Well I guess you do know who we are, but I should tell you what we are capable of since your bingo book does not have that kind of info on us." Kamatarie said while crossing his arms across his chest and nodding his head it agreement with his own declaration. "But if I do tell you what we are capable of doing we would have to kill you because of that." He said with a sadistic grin.
Kenyae stepped out to the mist nins right and simply just stat down and watched and began to wonder why Kamatarie had to play with his enemies most of the time. Keeping them alive before he took their life away in the bloodiest was possible. With a sigh he looked at the mist nin and just hoped that Kamatarie would just hurry up they have to get back in few of days. If he doesn't hurry up and just kill him then I'll step in and do it myself, and I don't care how much he complains about me ruining his fun. Kenyae sat there and scowled at Kamatarie to tell him to stop having fun and just kill the guy.
Kamatarie looked at his friend and saw the scowl upon his face and sighed to himself. I guess that I have to finish this quickly before he blows one again. God why is he so impatient just why? He went into his joint stance with him crouched low with in arm bent behind his back and the other arms elbow slightly resting on his knee. He looked up at the mist nin who in return when into his own stance. Kamatarie didn't wait to long before he charged straight in and swiped at the mans head with his heel. The man ducked and tried to throw a punch at Kamataries gut but was hooked in his arm, and he threw one back into the mist nins chest winding him. He followed up by thrusting his ball pint of his hand into the mans face successfully crushing several bones. The mist nin howled out in pain from the devastating blow. Kamatarie came up to him and jammed his knee into the man chin sending him into the air and leapt up after him and spun vertically with his elbow and caught the man in the back shattering his spinal cord and the back of his rib cage killing him instantly. The body slammed into the ground making a small crater, and Kamatarie landed beside it and looked down at the broken man.
"You should have run when you had the chance." Kamatarie said with a hint of disappointment in his voice. He turned back to his friend "you know you always ruin my fun. And I mean always ruin my fun."
Surprised that there was not much blood at all but didn't really care as to why. Kenyae got up and looked at his friend "well we have a deadline to meet and I do not really want to be late this time. So if you're done can we go now?"
"Fine but you really got to stop complaining when we get sidetracked by some one. You just have to lighten up a little bit more." Kamatarie shot at his friend.
Kenyae already started down the road yelled over his shoulder "you can only wish!" and with a smile he leapt into the trees and headed towards Konoha at a much faster pace than walking along the road.
Kamatarie started after his friend grumbling something about killing him later. He leapt into the tree were his friend had and started leaping after him at a faster pace to catch up to him. By the time he caught up to him the sun was starting to go down. Another hour later the sun finally set and they had started to set up camp in silence. Kamataries tent was a basic camo green colour. But his friends was a green tent with leaves and tree branches clinging to it. He sighed and walked over to his friend.
"Why do you even bother with all that stuff anyways?" Kamatarie asked
As kenyae put on another branch he answered "basically it is just practice."
"Then why do you even do it?" he stated "it is just a waste of time. Especially when one of us keeps watch to make sure not one tries to sneak up."
"I just fell safer when I do this." He replied "does it matter you don't have to so why bother me about what I do."
"Fine I'll just shut up and not asked you why you do the things you do." He snapped back angrily. He walks off toward the fire they had set up and started to cook their food talking to himself about idiots and their idiotic routines.
Kenyae just shook his head at his friend and went into his tent after looking over it to make sure everything was perfect. After he got comfortable he took off his cloak, folded it and placed it in the corner of his tent. All he was wearing now was just a mesh shirt and loose fit black pants. His body was well toned from the amount of training he goes through on his spare time. He had blood seals in tattoos on his chest and right arm that held his assortments that he kept with his at all times. He got up and crawled out of his tent to see Kamatarie with the fish they had caught by a nearby river. He was currently cooking them over the fire and was reading a little orange book he always kept with him. He already took off his cloak too and placed on a stump nearby. He was also wearing a mesh shirt but his pants were a dull grey colour instead of black like his. He also had blood seals in tattoos on his chest to his left arm that held his items that he kept with him during these missions.
Kamatarie finished cooking the fish and sealed his book away when Kenyae came over and sat beside him and asked for one. He handed him the somewhat overcooked one to him and gave him the sauce that he heated for the fish. Kenyae gratefully accepted the fish and poured the sauce on it and hungrily ate it. Kamatarie took the sauce back and poured some on his fish too and began to eat it. After a few bits he lowered the fish and turned to see his friend already finished and going for seconds. He wondered why he was so hungry, but he just figured that since that had nothing but sake today that he was hungry. He wished he had something better than this right now. They have been eating fish for the past week and were getting sick of it.
"God I can't wait to get back to town and get something better to eat than fish." Kamatarie stated.
He knew Kamataries favourite foods and decided used that against him to make him not slack and get home on time for once. "I know. Just think of all the food you can have when we get back. The ramen, the dango, and the sweet streak they have. Oh man I just could go on forever what food we could have back in Konoha"
"Yes the ramen, the dango, the steak. I just can't wait to get back," he said excitedly.
Man I love to make him all exited to get back home. It never fails when I mention all the great food he could have in Konoha. Kenyae smiled at his plot to get home quicker and turned back to his fish that he currently started eating. Looking at it he suddenly lost his appetite. Wishing now that he had some great dango and sake right now. Now my plan got me wishing for better food, god damt. He ate the rest of the fish and told Kamatarie that he'll take first watch. Kamatarie nodded and finished his fish, grabbed his cloak, yawned and walked back to his tent. He stepped inside put his cloak by his sleeping bag took off his mesh shirt and climbed into his warm sleeping bag, and fell asleep in a few moments.
Kenyae sat by the fire a little longer before dousing it and went into the tree nearby to watch for any intruders. Four hours went by and nothing happened just a few bats, owls and mice went around during that time. He yawned and stared at the owl in the tree next to him. Man this is so boring another hour than I get to sleep my self. He scanned the area and saw a flicker of movement by the edge of camp he sat there staring at the spot were to movement stopped, but just a rabbit hoped out and went to ward to tents. He kept his eye on the rabbit and figured it was nothing really to worry about. The rabbit continued to hop towards the tents and stopped at the first one and sniffed the air and hoped past it back into the forest. Nothing else eventful happened for the rest of his watch and after the hour was up he jumped down and walked over toward Kamataries tent to wake him up.
Kamatarie was having a wonderful dream of all the best food Konoha has to offer he swears that he has died and gone to food heaven. Kenyae kicked Kamatarie in the foot and woke him up.
With a yawn he said "your turn to keep watch" and he trotted away.
Kamatarie sat up grumbling about dream and food. He got out of the sleeping bag grabbed his cloak for warmth and crawled outside. The night air was cold but refreshing he looked around and said to himself five hours to go before sun up. He leapt into the tree beside his tent and sat down crosslegged and grumbled about this being a long and boring night. He sat there staring at the night sky looking at the moon and at the stars thinking that this is one of the clearest nights he had ever seen which had help him relax. Half an hour later he unbuttoned his cloak so that his chest was showing and he bit his thumb to draw blood and smeared it on the blood seal that has the word Icha in the centre of the circle. A little bit of smoke appeared and a little box set of books came appeared when the smoke cleared the pulled out the last book in the box set and sealed the rest back into the blood seal. He opened the book and began reading were he left off. Luckily he can multitask and sill kept an eye on his surroundings while he read. Four and a half hours later he closed the book and looked into the sky once again.
Kamatarie jumped down and walked over to his friend tent. Feeling very bored now he thought that he could surprise if friend with a little gag this morning.
He got ready and poked his head through the tent flap and screamed at the top of his lungs." WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! THEY HAVE SURROUNDED US! THERE IS AN ARMY OF THEM! HURRY GET THE FUCK UP!"
Kenyae sprung out of bed knocking over his tent with him in it. Thrashing around under the weight and tries to get out. Kamatarie was standing there trying his best not to laugh but that was proving to become harder to do.
Kenyae finally gets out and looks around asking. "Where are they? Why are you just staring at me?"
Kamatarie just could not hold it in any more and starts laughing. Kenyae couldn't figure out why his friend was laughing maybe he was under a genjutsu, but that was most unlikely.
Then it hit him. "YOU DICK! I'LL KILL YOU! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT! YOU NERALY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD! YOU HEAR ME DEAAAD!
Kenyae stomped up to his friend and punched him into the ground. Kamatarie couldn't move from the amount of killing intent that his was giving off and that he was laughing to hard to move. Oh god I think he is going to actually kill me. Kenyae gets closer and closer. Shit shit shit got to move shit. Kamatarie finally manages to move out of the way before his friend pummels the ground where he just was.
"C-calm down ke-kenyae. I-it was ju-just a-a-a j-joke. P-please clam d-down." He stumbled over trying to calm his friend down.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" was all he said before he came charging at his friend.
Kamatarie barley had enough time to move out of the way when his friend came at him. He just turned and ran straight through the forest arms up in the air yelling help at the top of his lungs he didn't get far before kenyae caught him again and dragged him back to camp. All Kamatarie could do was whimper at the thoughts of what kenyae was going to do. When the reach camp kenyae dropped him on the ground and stared at with the most evil smile he saw in his entire life. You could hear the screams of someone being tortured for mile around. A very cheery Kenyae was walking through the forest toward Konoha and a badly beaten up Kamatarie slowly trudged behind him muttering to himself about never doing that again. Another two days later they made it to the border of fire country and Kamatarie was fully healed back to normal thanks to his medical ninjutsu.
He was glad that they were almost home and didn't have to worry about being ambushed some were along the way. They didn't see any patrols so they continued on hope that they do see someone soon.
They traveled for another day before they were within an easy hour walk to Konoha. They set up camp for the last time before they reach town. The night went by very quickly they both went to bed relatively early so they can get a good nights rest. When morning came kenyae was the first one up he walked around a little to loosen up and to admire the forest and the great morning so far. Kamatarie climbed out of his tent when kenyae was just finishing putting his way.
"Good morning isn't this a beautiful day." Kenyae said with a cheerful tone.
"Ya whatever." Was all that he said.
"You in a bad mood or what?" he questioned.
"Yes I am. Stupid mourning ruin my day all the time." He said glumly staring to take down his tent.
"How can you be in a grumpy mood when this morning is so beautiful?" He questioned
"Because mornings suck." He retorted bluntly.
Fine I guess he needs more time to wake up fully. He walked over to the fire they had going last night and put dirt over the ashes that were there and turned back to Kamatarie who was sealing up his tent into one of his blood seals. He put on his cloak when he was done and adorned his straw hat. Kenyae did the same thing and the both started walking back toward Konoha. They finally reach the gates were the two chunnin guards were at the stand. The chunnin guards immediately recognised the two men and shouted hello to the both of them, which in return they both waved back to them. As they approached kenyae turned toward the two chunnin.
He addressed the one on the left. "So has anything new happened while we were gone?"
"Nope nothing at all. Kinda boring actually." He said with a smile. "So how was your trip? Anything good happened?"
"Just one thing this guy from mist attacked us." He answered. "Other than that nothing else comes to mind." He was now glaring at Kamatarie who just smiled. And looked at the guards.
Both guards just looked at each other and shrugged and bed them farewell. The two walked towards the hokage tower in the middle of town. Kenyae was just thinking about their espionage mission in wave a month ago. Going over the entire time they were their he couldn't help but think back to the mist man who attacked them. Who was he I wish Kamatarie asked his name before he killed him. O well can't get everything we want no w can we. He came back to reality before they came to the hokage tower. He sighed and entered hoping that the report does not take that long.
Kamatarie stood before the third and stared at hi while his friend gave the report. Hurry up already. God I always hated giving reports and it's even worse waiting for someone to finish giving the report. Sarutobi nodded his head and turned to Kamatarie.
"Do you have anything to add to the report?" He asked.
Kamatarie stood there thinking only for a second and replied, "No hokage-sama I do not have anything else to add to the report "
Sarutobi looked at the young men and said. "Fine you may go and you both have a week off. Now go and relax."
With that said they both left and Sarutobi sat there and lit his pipe thinking. Who would have guess that are two best shinobi are only a sixteen and a seventeen year old and only became jonin a year ago. These two have a bright a wonderful future ahead of them. If survive that is.
Kamatarie and kenyae stood at the base of the hokage tower and looked off into the distance and both thought that this is going to be great day after all. With that they started walking towards Ichiraku's ramen stand both thinking that they deserve this treat. As they walked along they stopped the at the sake house. Kamatarie walked in and bought a case of sake form the man and then sealed it in one of his spare seals to take out later. They continued on through the town towards Ichiraku's ramen stand. When they got there they could hear the laughter of a young boy wearing an orange jumpsuit and his own hitai-ate signifying him as a ninja. They walked into the stand and sat down by the corner. The boy watched them when they sat down and was wondering who they were because no one else besides Iruka and himself came to this stand that is a ninja. So he sat there looking at them. Kamatarie closest to the boy turned and looked at him who just continued to look at him with a weird face. Kamatarie turned back to the owner of the shop and placed his order of a large bowl of beef ramen after his friend placed his.
He turned back towards the boy who had returned to eating his own bowl of ramen. Kamatarie was thinking what to say to the boy who was just staring at him a moment ago. Hmm he only looks to be eleven at the most just newly graduated. I wonder who he is I swear that I've seen him somewhere before. He just sat there looking at the kid. Eventually he remembers who he thinks this kid is.
"Tell me are you Naruto Uzumaki?" he asks
The kid just looks at him and puts on a foxy grin and answers "Yes I am and who are you I've never seen you here before."
"Well Naruto my name is Kamatarie Unihyshi and it's nice to meet you, and I always eat her when ever I can." He said and added "and this here is my friend Kenyae Saishe he eat here sometimes but not even as much as me." Kenyae just lifts his hand in a slight wave of acknowledgement.
Naruto has an even bigger smile on his face when he hears their names and that they eat here regularly. "You are really Kamatarie and Kenyae. Wow this is great I get to meet the two strongest people in all of fire country besides the old man of course but wow this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Wow." Naruto was so stunned and happy that he couldn't even think straight after that.
Kenyae just sighed and wished that his friend didn't say who they were to this little kid. We don't need another person become star struck at us right now. He left after he paid for his bowl and said goodbye to his friend and to Naruto. Kamatarie sat with his new little friend to get to know him better. The more Naruto told him about himself he was more and more convinced that he should help this boy out somehow but just how was the question.
Naruto was having the time of his life chatting with his new friend enjoying his ramen and just loving this day overall.
He looked at Kamatarie and asked "so is it true that you are the strongest shinobi that fire country has?"
Kamatarie just sat there felling a little embarrassed by all the praise he is getting from Naruto he just replies "well I would say so but Kenyae would be an even match for me." then he asks "so who is you jounin sensei any way?"
Naruto just looks at him and answers "we don't learn that until tomorrow."
That did it he new how he could help this kid out, but he'll have to talk to the hokage thou. They both returned to their ramen and ate three bowls each and after they were finished Kamatarie said that he would pay for the both of them.
Naruto did not know what to say but accepted gratefully and waved goodbye to his new friend and headed off to his apartment happy and excited that tomorrow he will have his own team to be on.
Kamatarie walked towards the hogake tower once again with a goal set in his mind that he will not accept no for an answer. It took him only ten minutes to get there due to the fast pace he was going. He approached the hokages door and stopped at the secretary's desk and asked if he was occupied at the moment. She said no and so he continued into the hokages room to find the man himself reading a scroll.
Sarutobi looked up to see Kamatarie in the doorway of his office and wondered just why he was here. I thought I told his that he has the week off so why is he back. He put the scroll down and leaned back into his chair.
"So why are you back?" he enquired bluntly.
"I have a request that I would like to make." He answered.
"What is this request that you have? If it is to have more time off no you are not getting it." He said with a glare "I can't have you off of active duty for to long and you know that."
Kamatarie just looked at him with a smile and said. "No it is not to ask for more time off it about something else." He stood there thinking what to say.
"So what is that you want I haven't got all the time in the world you know." He said to him becoming more curious as to what he wanted.
"My request is that I would like to take on a team of gennin, the ones that just graduated." He responded, "I have particular person who I want as one of my students."
Sarutobi sat there looking at him and asked "why do you so suddenly want a team of gennin and who would be this person you want to have under you."
"I met someone who I want to help because of people not helping him that helped made me decide that I want to do this and that is the person who I want on my team and he is Naruto Uzumaki." He said with an unwavering voice. "Besides I always wanted to take on a team of my own even more so now."
Sarutobi sighed and said "well for one you are only sixteen it's only been a year since you became a jounin and you just can't pick a favorite if you get a team you have to help them all out not just one."
"That is exactly my point if Naruto goes on a team their sensei may not help him or play favourites with one of them. I would never neglect them or help one and not the others, and so what if I'm only sixteen the younger I can help then more because we would have more in common." He fought back.
"Hmmm." He just sat there thinking for a while before he finally said "fine I guess that you can have a team with naruto on it. I guess that I will have to change the team sensei that naruto is on to you. It is good that you can and asked me this now instead of later I would have never been able to change the teams even if it is only just the one." He said one final thing before I left. "Make sure that you are at Iruka's class tomorrow morning for the team announcements." He waved and went back to the scroll with the gennin teams and their sensei to make a quick change to team seven. Switching kakashi with Kamatarie. It's a good thing that I did not contact them yet. He chuckled to him self and turned his chair to face the window behind him.
Kamatarie was so glad a the moment he nearly passed his apartment but came back to reality just in time to stop in front of it. He walked you the stairs to the second floor and went to his door that said 19 on it. He put his key into the hole opened it and walked in. He turned on the light. The apartment look ok but he felt that it was too small for his taste but he didn't complain. The walls were completely bare not was on them all the had in the main room was a couch a love seat and a chair all surrounding the long table he had in the middle of the room. There was a kitchen right behind the couch and the bathroom was behind the chair he walked forward going around the love seat and headed for his room. The room itself was a bit more crowded but not that much. He had a nice queen bed in the corner with a window above it and a small dresser on the opposite side of the room he also had a big desk with a lamp on it that was against the wall under another window beside the bed but that was it nothing else in the room but a closet by the dresser. He took off his cloak and his mesh shirt and the rest of his clothing grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom to have a shower.
The shower felt so good he didn't want to get out but had to so he could grab a snack and finish reading his book. He walked to the kitchen opened the fridge grabbed the milk and poured himself some then made a sandwich out of the left over in the fridge he had to go out sometime tomorrow and buy some more food. After he finished his milk he took his sandwich and walked to his room. He bit his thumb and smeared the blood on the seal and grabbed the last book and began reading it were he left off. He finished the last page of the book just as the sun was setting on the horizon and he put the book back and went to the front door locked it and traveled back to his room wondering now who would his other two pupil's would be. But he just shrugged and fell on to his bed and crawled under his covers and passed out.
