Chapter 1
The
wind was blowing rather hard in the Country of Wind, and sand was
swirling around making it very difficult to see.
"Hey! Taniiii! I cant see anything...I cant even see my hand! Do you even know where you are going?" Shouted Sado.
Looking back, Tani grinned. "Of course I do! We are heading towards that village" Tani replied.
FWAP!
Tani slammed right into the side of a mysterious object.
"Oww...What the hell?" Tani looked up only to see a giant wooden caravan in the middle of the desert, with no one around.
"Hey Tani! You Ok?" Sado questioned while examining the cart Tani had slammed into.
Smiling and laughing, she replied "Yeah, I'm fine" despite a round bump on her head now forming "Lets take a break inside this thing, it doesn't look like anyone is here."
Entering the Caravan and rubbing her head, Tani was amazed to what she found inside the caravan.
"Sado!
Get in here and look at this!"
"Wow, look at all of this
food and water! Who would leave all this out in the middle of the
desert?"
"I don't really know, but-"
"Oooooh
look at all this, i'm gonna eat until I burst!"
"...As I
was saying, We cant be-"
"And look at this water! I'm
gonna drink until-"
"Idiot! Are you even listening to
me?"
"... No"
"Well shut up and listen. We
cant just eat this...it could be a trap. For all we know we could be
being watched"
"Who would be watching us in the middle
of the desert?"
"I don't know...just keep your eyes
open"
Tani sighed and grabbed a piece of bread from a barrel. She studied it for a second, shrugged, and just as she was about to take a bite she yelled "Don't eat it the bread!" And threw her piece out the caravan. All of the sudden a huge explosion flipped the caravan over.
"Shit...what the hell was that?" Sado complained...
Tani and Sado both crawled out of the upside down caravan, only to see two figures watching them.
Shivering, Sado asked "Wh-Who are you?"
"That
does not matter, just hand over your possessions now and we will kill
you quickly!"
"Gahh its all over, here take it all!"
Sado cried.
"Idiot!" Tani said, punching Sado in the head. "And what reason should I give a bunch of lowly bandits all of my possessions?"
"Grr, I don't like the
tone of this bitch. I say we gut her now!" The bandits yelled.
"Yeah lets get her!" Sado said, now on the side of the
bandits.
"Shut up and get over here, Sado"
"Yes
maam..." Sado said, now walking slowly back towards her with his
head down.
"I'm tired of playing games, now i'm gonna kick your ass!" Yelled the bandit, now rushing at Tani.
"Tsk tsk tsk...you just made the wrong choice" Tani said with a grin. The bandit rushed at her with a knife, only to be almost instantaneously disarmed.
"Konoho Shofu!" Tani
quickly kicked the knife out of his hand.
"What the hell?"
Yelled the bandit
Tani then threw a punch right at the stomach at the bandit, leaving him grasping for air.
"Konoho Daisenpu!" Tani then kicked the bandit right on the side of his ribs, sending him flying into the wooden caravan, shattering it to pieces.
"Amazing..." Sado said as he watched in awe.
The second bandit was left stuck in his tracks. He began shaking uncontrollably. "Please don't kill me! Just let me go!" he cried.
Tani laughed and replied "Just take
your buddy and get out of here".
"Yes maam!"
Replied the bandit, taking his friend and running as fast as he can
away from her.
"Just...Just who are you?" Sado said, looking upon Tani.
"I am Might Tani!" She said smiling, with her thumb up, and a small shine in her teeth. "Now lets get you to Sunagakure!"
Chapter 1 pt.2 Continued.
"Ahh there it is!" Shouted Sado " Look Tani! We are almost there! The Hidden Village of Sand! Yahooo!".
"That is great Sado...now can you please get off my
back?"
"Oh...heh, yeah. Thank you Tani"
Walking through the desert had taken its toll upon the two travelers. Both were exhausted, and both were in need of rest. They approached the gate of Sunagakure hungry and tired, but were very excited to finally be out of the dunes.
Looking out of a watchtower, a guard
spotted the two. "Is...Is that Sado? It is! Hey, guys! Sado has
returned" The guard yelled to the others.
"Really? He
is back? Its about damn time!" Another guard exclaimed.
The
village quickly caught word of Sado's return. They gathered at the
entrance, cheering and celebrating. "Sado has returned! Sado has
returned!" They yelled.
"You must be a pretty popular person, Sado" Tani said with a grin. "I can see why I am getting such a good deal just for escorting you here."
"Haha yes, but you don't even know the half of it. Lets celebrate for now, and ill explain it to you later." Sado said with a smile.
Entering the village, they were quickly greeted with food, water, and cheers. Time passed by quickly, and the sun began to set. The village receded back to their homes, and the guards returned to duty.
Tani walked into a bar and grabbed a chair.
"Ill
have a-"
"We will have two cups of sake" Sado said,
interrupting Tani and sitting down beside her.
"So, Sado...I
told you who I was, now who exactly are you?" Tani questioned
Sado, who was quite buzzed from all the celebrating he had
done.
"Just a man of his village." Sado replied with a
smile on his face. Tani knew that he was hiding something.
Tani took a shot of the sake. "Well, I guess it's really none of my business. Ill just take my payment and head out." Tani said, getting out of her chair.
"Wait." Sado said grabbing
Tani's arm. "Have you ever heard of the Chozin Puzzle?"
"No..."
Tani replied, with a dumbfounded look on her.
"Well, years
ago I found a tablet in the middle of the desert describing an
artifact called The Chozin Puzzle. It said that it would grant a
village an unlimited supply of water if one were to gather all 4
pieces. I showed the village this tablet , but they all claimed that
it couldn't be true, and it was fake. I didn't care though. I
still wanted to find the pieces, and help Sunagakure out."
"I
see, it must be hard living out here with such a lack of water. Oh
well, do what you want and go ahead on your crazy treasure hunt."
Tani said laughing.
Sado grinned, and pulled out of his pocket a tablet, and 3 pieces of what looked like a picture with the top left piece missing. "The village is behind me now that I have almost completed my goal. They have faith that I can bring water to this dehydrated village." Sado said with a smile.
Tani laughed and said "You sure are full of surprises, Sado. Hey Barkeep, more sake!"
The night went on, and morning soon came. Tani woke up and left her room. She walked outside to a cool, morning breeze, and yawned. Tani could hear Sado in the distance.
"Good morning Tani!" Sado yelled, running towards her. "Here is your payment, Tani. I hope it's more than enough. Will you be staying any longer?"
"Ahh, Thank you Sado, and no, I must be leaving soon. I still have a long journey ahead of me." Tani said smiling. Suddenly, Tani felt a strong power. She thought to herself "A Jinchūriki?" and looked down to see a redheaded genin being followed by two others.
Sado glanced at her eyes, and then looked down. "Ahh, those are the sand siblings. They are our very powerful genin. They are heading to Konoho to participate in the Chunin exams. The red-headed boy is Gaara, the face-painted genin is Kankuro, and the blonde-haired genin is Temari."
"Really? I want to meet them!" Tani said with a smile, and ran towards them. "Hey sand geninnnnn!" She yelled, as the village people watched her, very surprised.
"Wait, Tani, NO!" Sado yelled towards her, despite her ignoring him. She looked back at him, smiled, and gave him a thumbs up
"Hey guys! I wanna talk to ya!" Tani said. Gaara took a glance over at her, and then raised a sand of wall right in front of Tani, sending her slamming right into it.
"Ow ow ow" Tani complained, as blood dripped down from her nose. She yelled "Hey, what the hell is your pro-" only to have her mouth covered by Sado.
"Tani, they are very powerful, despite their rank. You must not upset them, especially not Gaara!" Sado explained to Tani.
Tani grinned and said "You really don't know who I am, do you? Oh well, it doesn't matter. I'm going to be heading out now..."
Tani gathered her stuff and began to head out. Sado was at the gate, along with a few other villagers, waving as she left. Tani waved goodbye and set out.
"Bye, Tani!" Sado yelled. "Thank you!"
Tani smiled, and disappeared over the dunes. She was heading east...towards Konoho.
