Here is the sequal to "Heart of an Uchiha Boy." I know, I know. It seems kind of quick, but this is only the kind of preface to the story. :D It's very interesting--enjoy!

Holding a finger to her lips to ask for silence, Kaede Shinota stood slowly with her back against the wall. The black-haired girl to her left, a Hyuga named Miki, followed suit and shot a glance at her long-time friend. Miki and Kaede had met several years ago, and there was no one that Kaede trusted more.
Two guards stood at the gate entrance of the Kage tower of what was once Kohnoha. Kaede felt rage build up inside of her at the thought of that wretched man sitting in her office, looking over her village. But in truth, this was all her fault in the first place, and she'd be damned if she didn't fix it!
She had waited so long for this attack, so many long, torturous years, agonizingly waiting to launch the final attempt at bringing her village back to life. Five years ago, the whole thing had started. The Sannin-level ninja known as Orochimaru had mauled the village from top to bottom, sending in his followers to take down anyone that stepped in his way. Kaede had been one of them, fighting for her village and for everything that it stood for. Alas, they had failed, and Kohnoha was no more. The Leaf village was extinct except in the hearts of those who remained faithful to it, and the Sound village reigned in its place.
Orochimaru was living with the idea that there was no possible way for the remaining Kohnoha villagers to fight back against his now massive nation. He was also holding on to the fantasy that he had killed the Hokage of Kohnoha. A smug grin spread across Kaede's face at the thought of the shock Orochimaru would get when he found out that the Hokage was in fact alive and well. The immortalist couldn't hold onto "his" village forever. And Kaede was there to make sure of that.
Miki uttered a small mew of frustration, eager to get this show on the road. The young Byakugan user was always this way—never patient, constantly urging everyone to hurry up already and finish whatever he or she were doing.
Rolling her eyes, Kaede jerked her head in the direction of the two guards stationed at the entrance gate of the Hokage temple. Her nose wrinkled in anticipation, Miki activated her Byakugan and darted across the brown grass, her hand skimming the rough gray wall.
In a moment, both guards were on the ground, still and their bodies lifeless. Miki stood over them, a witch-y smirk souring her crisp, well-defined features. Her eyes went back to normal as she turned her Byakugan off and turned to her left where Kaede now stood, head tilted every so slightly to the side. Kaede's hazel eyes were locked on the window several stories above them where she knew the Hokage office was. A small movement, like the release of a drawn back curtain caught her eye, and she snarled. Orochimaru was watching.
"Miki, come on," she snapped, and the Hyuga blinked in wide-eyed surprise at the harsh tone of her voice. Kaede set off at a pace too fast to be necessary for their present mission, all thoughts directed on getting to Orochimaru and kicking him out of her village.
As they ran across the deadened lawn, Kaede reached up and pulled the leather string she used to keep her hair tied up loose and shoved it in her pocket. Her now light-brown hair willowed around her face and she let it. As it settled over her face, blocking everything from sight except for her proudly displayed Kohnoha headband and her nose and mouth. Her face wasn't the most welcome here.
Orochimaru had failed to kill the Hokage once—she bet he wouldn't pass up the chance to correct his mistake and get rid of her for good.
The tall doors that would lead into the main hall of the temple leered ahead, and Kaede's eyes narrowed. She remembered every detail from the day when this all started, and wasn't hesitant to relive it whenever the thought of Kohnoha came to mind. Besides, this was all her fault in the first place.
It's short, I know, but it's only the preface kind of thing. The others will be much longer, I promise. So no worries! I hope you enjoyed it, please read and review like all you wonderful reviewers do!
