This will take place before Sasuke goes to Orochimaru but it will have most of the Akatsuki guys featured later. Most of the plot will not follow the American version of the anime and it will include other OCs. Enjoy and don't forget to rate and review! And if you'll flame... just be nice.
Through the holes of the leaves in the forest surrounding Konoha, three shadows flitted in and out of the sight of Squad 7 who were in pursuit of them.
Naruto was panting hard, sweat running down the side of his head, "Hey!" he shouted, "Hey, wait up! We need to talk to you guys!"
Sasuke was coming up beside him a little winded as well, "We were sent to escort you three back to Konoha!"
Sakura, the only female of the squad, was trying hard to keep up with her team mates. She looked to her and saw her teacher, Kakashi who was getting a break and was allowed to come with his squad.
Naruto looked back, "Hey Kakashi-sensei?! Can't we just use some jutsu on them and drag them back to the village?"
He shook his head, "I'm sorry, Naruto, we can't. Lady Hokage said these three people are very important to the visitor who's due at the village tomorrow. We have to get them back without harm to them or ourselves."
Naruto groaned in response, "Who cares what Grandma says?! I'm gonna get these people so we get home now! Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
He made two copies of himself since there were only three people they were chasing. All of them yelled as they were about to punch the figure closest to him. The silouette at the rear lashed out its foot so that it connected with its attacker's face; the clone disappeared in an instant. The shadow in the middle whipped out a kunai and sliced the clone in half. The one in the lead jumped and punched the real Naruto in the face... hard. He tumbled down to the ground with a swollen cheek and glared up at the figure, but then his jaw dropped.
In front of him, wearing a cheesy smile like his, was a girl his age... a very pretty one too. She had raven black hair and golden yellow eyes. Her apparel consisted of a gold tank top that covered her chest area with black sleeves that covered half of ther upper arm with brown band trimming and a white collar with extra fabric placed over most of the sleeves. The mysterious girl had a brown mini skirt with the Konoha headband acting as a belt and black shorts that went up to her knees underneath along with a weapons pouch on her right thigh and a headband which Naruto hasn't seen before on her left. It was a midnight blue colored hitai with a full moon and two crescent moons protruding from both sides.
By this time, he was standing and the rest of his squad had caught up to him... and the rest of her squad had caught up to her. The rest of Team 7 looked at the two older males that flanked her sides. They couldn't look more different, but their expressions were the same: one about to cause serious harm.
The one on the girl's right had onyx hair that barely reached his shoulders; his clothes were simple, a v-cut short sleeved shirt with fishnet covering his chest and protruding out from the sleeves reaching his wrists and black pants that held a weapons pouch on his left thigh and that strange headband on his right along with the Konoha headband on his forehead.
The ninja on her left had below the shoulder silver hair with white almost lavander eyes. This one was wearing samurai style kimono top with swirling black designs and khaki pants with his weapons pouch on his right, the Konoha headband on his upper right arm and the odd one on his left.
But what surpirsed the whole team the most about the side warriors was their eyes. The one on the left had the Byakugan and the right had the Sharingan. Kakashi noticed that all three of their escortees had swords: the girl on her back, that Uchiha on his left and the Hyuga on his right.
He took a step forward with his hands raised, "As we've said before, we don't want to hurt you--especially the girl." He also noticed that two males relaxed as he said that last part.
It looks like they're protecting her... I remember her from somewhere, but where?
"Now," he continued, "what are your names? We need to know before we take you back home."
The girl stepped forward and smiled once more, "I'm Reika Hyucha. This is Kuro Uchiha--" He remained emotionless. "--and Shiro Hyuga--" He gave a curt nod and Reika continued, "No one had told us that we'd have escorts you see. So the Sukaikage just told us to come to Konoha on our own."
"I see. Well, we're all together now. So why don't we go back the the village as a group?"
She nodded, "All right, but it would be helpful to tell us who you are."
The teacher pointed to himself, "Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake and these are my three genin. Genin, introduce yourselves. Hmm?"
The three genin were in an akward position, Naruto was once again on the ground; his mouth being covered by both Sasuke and Sakura. They looked up and smiled.
"Uhh, I'm Sakura Haruno." She had a little blush.
"Hn. Sasuke Uchiha." He threw a quick glare at the elder one.
"And, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Don't forget it!" He had a big cheesy grin.
Kakashi turned back to the group in front of him, "Anything else before we go?" They all shook their heads. "All righty then."
He led the way Kuro and Shiro following him, with Sakura and Naruto close behind. Reika turned and winked at Sasuke which made him raise an eyebrow before trailing a little ways behind her giving a glare here and there to the other Uchiha.
How is it possible? And why can't I remember him?
What do think? Rate and review! And if you'll flame... just be nice. Thanks!
