Through the trees, kunai flew from behind and in every direction. The two silhouettes jumped and flipped from branch to branch narrowly missing each blade that whipped past them. One looked at the other and fell head first towards the ground, only to catch a low branch before landing. The moon glowed through the thick forest, as if watching the two ninja on their mission. The one on the low branch appeared to say something into an earpiece. The other nodded and stopped on a large tree branch, standing still, but in a stance that looked like a fight was about to happen.
Sure enough, that's exaclty what happened.
The enemy ninja that were following the two spotted the one on the higher branch that was standing still and facing them.
"What a fool," the enemy leader said to himself, "Men! Take him out! We must recover the sacred object!"
"Yes!" replied his men as they all surrounded the ninja. The ninja smirked under the black cloth that covered over the face area.
"Terra agito," said the ninja as the tree's branches, leaves, bark, and roots grabbed all of the ninja that surrounded him.
"W-what is this!?" yelled the leader as he too was being engulfed by the tree's harsh grip.
"Ready when you are," said the ninja as his comrade was now below them.
"Alright," said the other one in an excited tone as he pointed both of his hands toward the ground. Out of the ground came a large geyser of boiling hot water that shot into the air. All the enemy ninjas screamed as the water hit them, flinging them miles and miles away from the area.
"Nice job," said the one on the branch as the other jumped near him.
"Thanks, you too. Do you still have it?" asked the other.
"Yep," he said as he showed his companion what he was holding. It was a red amulet in the middle of a solid gold circle.
"Good, Tsunade-sama will be pleased," the other spoke into his ear piece, "Kakashi-sensei, we got it."
"Good job you two," said a male voice that came from the head phone, "You two have come a long way."
"Thanks Kakashi-sensei," said the two in unison.
"You girls better hurry back, those enemies may have reinforcements."
"Yes sir," they said disapearing into the shadows of the night with the moon's light guiding their way home.

"Wow," said Naruto as he looked at the object in Cathy's hand, "What is it?"
"I told you," said Cathy holding the object into the light, "It's the Amulet of Fire."
"Amulet of fire?" asked Naruto as they walked to the Hokage's mansion.
"Yeah," said Jenna, "It's the most prized possession of the Fire Country. Every country has one."
"And this one's ours?" asked Naruto.
"Uh huh," said Cathy while tugging at her black cloak.
Jenna and Cathy had just returned to Konoha from their last mission. It was to retrieve the Amulet of Fire from the Sound Country. They successfully completed the mission, much to their surprise, and were very happy with how much they had improved from when they first came to Konoha. Months had passed since the Earth Country returned to normal, thanks to the team. They hear word from the Earth Country every once in a while. It seems the princess found true love in her country and is engaged. Gaara and Jenna return to Konoha very often, since Jenna and Cathy are practically inseperable, and help with missions, such as the one Jenna and Cathy just accomplished.
"That's really cool," said Naruto wanting nothing more than to touch it.
"Every country has a unique stone that holds a different elemental power," explained Cathy, "The Fire Country has a ruby, the Water Country has a sapphire, Wind has an emerald, Sand has a topaz, and Lightning has a yellow opal."
"Wow Cappy, you know a lot about this don't you?" said Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"Jenna told me," she said tryin not to take all the credit.
"Makes sense," he said looking away.
"Hey!" said Cathy as Jenna laughed, "Oh! Hey there's Sasuke."
They Uchiha was leaning against a fence as he looked up to see the three walking up to him.
"Hey Jenna, Kappa, Dobe," he said.
--
Kaapa- a Japanese river imp.
Dobe- dead last.
--
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING DOBE!?" yelled Naruto with a clenched fist.
"And stop calling me Kappa!" exclaimed Cappy.
You see about a week after they returned from the Earth Country Sasuke started to call Cappy "Kaapa."
"Why do you even call me that anyway?" asked Cathy, apparently very tired of the horrible nickname.
"Because Cappy sounds like Kappa and your element is water, Kappa," he said with his eyes closed.
Then Cathy did what no girl had ever done to Sasuke Uchiha before. She punched him on the head. Naruto and Jenna were stunned to see such a sight.
"Ow!" What the hell?" said Sasuke holding his head.
"You deserve it," said Cathy walking toward the Hokage mansion once again, "C'mon guys, let's go."
They all walked away as Naruto hugged her senseless for being the only girl to punch Sasuke. Sasuke brushed it off, smirked, and caught up with the group.
--
They soon arrived in Tsunade's office. Cathy gave her the amulet and The girls recieved their payments.
"Nice job ladies," said Tsunade with a smile. I'm very happy to see your progress these past few months."
"Thank you Tsunade-sama," they replied bowing.
A knock came at the door.
"Come in," called the Hokage. The door opened as a patch of red hair peered through the door and in stepped a teenage boy.
"Gaara!" exclaimed Jenna as she hugged him. He blushed a little and hugged back.
"Hey Jen, everyone," he said as he walked further in the room.
"Hello Kazekage-sama," said Tsunade with a smile,"how's the Sand Country."
"The same as usual, Hokage-sama," he said, "boring."
They laughed and another knock came to the door.
"Com in," said Tsunade once again.
"Hey! Tsunade! I need a small mission so I can pay off some rent!" said an old ninja with long white hair in a low pony tail. He noticed Jenna and Cathy were both in the room as he got a huge smile on his face.
"JENNA-CHAN! CAPPY-CHAN!" he yelled as he englufed the two in a huge bear hug and lifting them in the air.
"Hey, Jiraiya-sama," said Cathy weakly being crushed.
"Hello, Jiraiya-sama," said Jenna in pain.
All of a sudden Jiraiya was knocked to the ground. Jenna and Cathy both landed on their feet and looked at the scenario. Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara all had angry and dark looks on their faces, ready to kill the poor toad sage.
"Ero-sennin, only I can call Cappy that name," said Naruto cracking his knuckles.
"What's with calling them 'chan'?" asked Sasuke with his sharingan eyes.
"Hands off," said Gaara, sand peering out of his gourd.
The girls sighed. Poor Jiraiya never got a break when he flirted with the two. Because Jenna and Cathy were not originally from the Naruto world they had all the features of a normal girl, like curves, and other stuff that girls get, unlike Sakura who is flat chested. (A/N: It's the truth! I don't mean any offense! Believe me I like Sakura, she's one of my favorite characters.) And because of this the pervy sage could not help but flirt with the two.
"Alright, alright, that's enough boys, and Jiraiya you retired, remember? Go find yourself a job," said Tsunade taking a sip of her wine.
"Yeah, yeah, okay," said Jiraiya giving a wink to the girls on the way out.
"So, Hokage-sama, you asked me to be here today for something important I assume," said Gaara, regaining his composure.
"Yes, thank you, Kazekage-sama, for reminding me," said Tsunade as she brought a map out from under her desk. It was a map of all the surrounding countries by Konoha.
"Are you all aware of the elemental stones that each country has?" asked Tsunade.
"Oh yeah! All the surrounding countries has one right?" asked Naruto.
"Y-yeah," said Tsunade with a shocked look on her face, "Naruto how did you-"
"We told him about it," said Jenna.
"Oh, makes sense," said Tsunade looking away, "Anyway all of the surrounding countries' stones have been stolen, like ours. Luckily we got ours back."
"Who's taking them?" asked Sasuke.
"The Hidden Sound," said Gaara pointing to the area of where the Sound was on the map.
"Do you think it's Orochimaru?" asked Cathy.
"We think so," said Tsunade who got up from her chair, "Orochimaru may have found out what the stones are capable of."
"I don't get it," said Naruto, "What's so important about these stones?"
"The stones have unlimited amount of power when brought together," stated Jenna, "A long time ago the stones were created by the five elders who protected the individual lands. When great evil or disaster fell upon the land, the five elders would unite to protect it. But soon they realized that the stones were too powerful, even for them. So they sealed them away, in the lands of Fire, Water, Wind, Sand, and Lightning."
"Exactly," said Tsunade, "After the Hidden Villages were created the stones were then put in the care of the leaders of the villages. Like myself, and Gaara. But three of the stones have been stolen, the sapphire, the emerald, and the yellow opal. Gaara has his-"
"On me," said Gaara holding up the topaz. It was like a replica of the ruby only a brown topaz was in it's place.
"WHAT!?" yelled everyone in the room, except Gaara.
"W-why would you bring it with you!?" asked Jenna.
"Please, you really think I can trust my village with this thing," said Gaara putting it away, "and besides they won't think to look me for it becuase it's supposed to be 'sealed away.'"
Jenna kissed him on the cheek, "That's my Gaara, always one step ahead."
Gaara turned a deep shade of red. He always did when Jenna did stuff like that.
About a month after the Earth Country Jenna and Gaara grew a lot closer. They went on missions together, Jenna helped with his paper work, and occasionally a date ot two every once in a while when Gaara wasn't busy with all his Kazekage business. Jenna even got a reputation in the Sand Country. She was referred to as the "Purple Wasp." Why you ask? Well, her chakra color is purple and she develpoed a way to shoot her chakra in the form of deadly needles that poisened the enemy, like a deadly wasp. She still used her Latin phrases and attacks all the time, but her new technique could kill many enemies.
"So, we have two here: the ruby and the topaz. What are we going to do with them?" asked Cathy.
"Simple," said Tsunade returning to her seat, "We obviously can't keep them here, it's too obvious. So Gaara is going to keep the topaz and Cathy you'll hold on to the ruby.
"O-ok," said Cathy looking at the ruby, "What an honor."
"Hey! Tsunade-baachan! Why does Cappy get to hold on to it?" asked Naruto.
"Please, idiot, like you could hold onto something like that. I would be much more suitable," stated Sasuke.
"Why you little-"
"This is exactly why neither of you can hold the stone," said Tsunade taking a swig of her wine, "You two would fight and argue over the thing all day, and besides, I trust Cathy more than you two."
The look on both of their faces were priceless. Both were shocked and stunned. Finally their heads both dropped in defeat. Cathy laughed.
"Alright, you all know your mission, correct?"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
"Good. Dismissed!"
