The Path to Peace
Prologue
"We have him surrounded." Said the ANBU over his radio. "When do we move?" he heard in reply. "When he falls asleep." As they continued to watch him he started to droop in exhaustion. He had, apparently, been traveling for days without sleep trying to evade the very ANBU that now surrounded him.
"We've been following him for four days solid, he should be out cold for kami's sake!" "Quite, he might fucking hear us!" Suddenly the sound of a branch cracking shatters the silence like an explosive tag. The Captain of the squad whips around to check on their quarry to find that he's gone. "SQAUD REPORT!" " He disappeared!" he practically yelled, his cover blown, over his now useless radio. All he gets in response is a muffled yell and the rasp of a katana cutting through flesh, bone, and armor.
Turning to retreat he finds his path blocked by a man with a crescent shaped scar on his right cheek, loose-fitting black ANBU pants, mesh shirt, and a long black short sleeveless hooded coat with crimson lining that had seen better days. But the most striking things about him were not his clothes or his red hair, that the ANBU had reason to fear . It was the man's amber yellow eyes that were almost the color of honey, and long black nodachi in his hand that had an almost deadly air about it that scared him the most. As he stared at it longer he saw a drop of what was probably his comrade's blood slowing making its way down the razor-sharp edge. Then almost as if the blade was drinking it in the droplet was absorbed."Kami I hate you Iwa nin." were the last words the man heard. Before he could scream, the flash of black steal ends his life.
Looking upon the carnage he sighs "I hope I at least have some clansmen left alive.". unknown to him three people around the nations sneeze at the same time. Most notable is a blonde genin chasing a very sadistic cat in the village hidden in the leaves.
"AAAAACCCCCHHHHOOOOOO!, man I better not be getting sick." Said Naruto as he chased after Tora the bane of all genin.
"Relax Naruto, just focus on the mission.", said Kakashi. "Yes sensei , the target is heading west through the market towards the hokage tower." said Naruto running among the many civilians and ninja in the market.
"Copy Baka/Dobe" said Sasuke and Sakura as they ran to catch up with their teammate.
Catching up Sasuke spots the demon cat ducking into an alleyway and reports, "Hey Dobe target spoted entering the next alley on your right.". "Copy Teme" says Naruto as he hangs the right. "The target is trapped at the end of the alley, Sakura-Chan do you have the carrier box?" "Of course Baka" she answers.
"Okay then SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto calls out making the cross shaped hand sign blocking the alley as Sasuke and Sakura appear above him ready to capture the object that has made the last three hours hell for them. Naruto edges closer making sure that the cat is paying attention to him as Sakura gets into position. Kakashi arrives to watch his team next attempt at catching the demon cat. and calls out, "On my mark ... 3...2...1...MARK!".
Naruto dives for the cat catching it's back legs it freaks and turns our hero's face into a well used scratching post. Naruto reacting on instinct throws the cat at Sasuke where it attacks his face as well. Reacting the same Sasuke tosses the feline towards the pinkette where it lands in the cat carrier complete their mission.
"Congrats Team 7, mission complete lets to the tower and report in." Kakashi says while eye smiling his team. "Sure sensei." Sakura says brightly while Naruto grumbles, " I say we kill the damn thing and forget this ever happened.". Sakura was about to hit the blonde when Sasuke spoke up, "For once Dobe I agree with you ." Naruto just huffs in response. During this Sakura as a look of complete an utter shock looking between her to teammates. All the while the white haired Jounin shakes his head the two teens actions before turning towards the center of the village.
