Okay, so this is super extra long….good\ bad you decide. But standard disclaimer applies I don't own Naruto…and if I did there would be more pages in a chapter (17 is not enough!) but anyways I had no idea what to call this story so…..blah read it! : )
The Great Idea
Chapter One: A possible Mutiny
A girl of 17 looked out on a vast plain that was littered with dead bodies, some comrades some enemies, at this point it didn't matter to her. She just wanted to find who she needed to find and then go home. She could handle that much couldn't she? The task of surveying the faces marred by sweat, blood, and dirt she made her was across the plain to her destination. Her own face had dirt and ash caked on by sweat and the fierce tears she shed as those who were the most important fell beside her, their bodies now among the others who had fallen. As she walked by groups of people she paid no attention to the outright looks of pain that locked on her face. They want to know why you weren't there to save their friends, lovers, and family. There is no way to answer that question. I don't listen to the slanders made at me, I have taken too long already and I can't worry about what they say now or I will lose everything I have worked for. That is simply not an option. I cannot stop to listen to their cries, or furious yells. I finally make it too the edge of the field and take one last sweeping look at those who are too pathetic to carry on. I don't mean to sound heartless, because I'm not, I just have my priorities in line and I knew that if my friends and my family were still here they would want me to continue on with the assignment that I was given. I could grieve later, when I was done, but not now.
I continued on my way my legs screaming in resistance. I couldn't exert anymore chakra so I couldn't run as fast, but I was still moving. Finally! I thought as I reached the small cave. I walked inside and saw a small hole in the ground. It was just big enough for me to lower myself inside and I was forced to walk on my hands and knees as I made my way through. It had to have been almost thirty minutes that I was crawling. I went a little bit further and came into a large area. I stood up and began to walk towards the fight that would either make me or break me. I took a deep breath and came out of the tunnel.
As I walked into the cavern I was awed at the site. The stalagmites and stalactites were beautiful. I was caught off guard and was kicked in the shoulder. I fell backwards with an "oomph". I looked around and rapidly got to my feet. I looked about and saw nothing. When I closed my eyes I sent my chakra to specific points in my body and dodged to the left and grabbed the fist that was pointed at me and threw the person to the ground. As I was looking to the person on the ground someone came behind me and I was too late to dodge so I sent my elbow back. They caught it and tossed me to the ground. When I opened my eyes there were black spots dancing in front of my eyes. I stood and ran, dodging the stalagmites and stalactites as I went. I was slowing and when I heard the wind that was whirling around me with the enemies approach still I slowed my pace. I couldn't believe that I was making so many mistakes. What was wrong with me? I was hit in the jaw and I flew back into the partners arms. When arms tightened around me I started to resist, they only tightened. I looked up into the eyes of the ninja that wasn't restraining me and was caught off guard because it was Zetsu of the Akatski. There was no way I was mistaken because currently the two sides of his face were arguing. The black side was arguing that they wouldn't need me and the white side was arguing that there was no way they would know whether I was worth killing and that they could possibly use me for the "collection". I tilted my head back to see who the second person was. I was surprised to see Kisame, Itachi's old teammate. Well at least we know someone who was able to complete their mission. When he saw the surprise on my face he grinned at me his shark teeth glinted and he whispered, "You're lucky I was told not to kill you. I have no idea what you are supposed to be used for, but we have to go now I don't feel like waiting around anymore. So stay quiet." He ended with a glare in the direction of Zetsu. I did as I was told as he turned and we were gone. He navigated us through the cavern and through a passage that wished I would have found instead of crawling. When we came out the moon was high in the sky. I started to slow and only when his grip tightened on my arm did I start running again. We traveled far, but then suddenly my feet fell from under me, in one sweeping motion he had me in his arms. It wasn't a nice sentiment, he wanted to get to his destination, and this meant nothing. So, I looked quizzically at his face and without looking at me he said, "Sleep, you don't need to know where we're going anyways." So I did.
When I opened my eyes I was laying on the ground and there was a group surrounding me. I jumped to my feet and went for my kunai, they were gone. I recognized the man with blond hair in front of me; he held my weaponry in front of me.
"Unfortunate, un?" He said with a smirk on his face,
I whirled around to see Zetsu, who held my scrolls. I ran at Deidara and was swallowed by a ball of water. I couldn't breathe or move. Damn that fish head jerk! I couldn't here anything around me and my vision was getting blurry. I guess he decided he wasn't going to drown me he let me go and I fell to the ground gasping for breath. A hand reached down and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at them; I looked into the double-sided face and glared the best I could. I don't think it was even a tiny bit successful because he punched me in the face. My face whipped to the right and hit the floor. I pushed myself up only to be caught in the ribs by someone's foot. I couldn't tell who it was because they all had the same sandals with the same purple painted toenails. It didn't really care who hit me because I was going to get them all…..as soon as they quit their relentless beatings. I forced myself up again and caught the arm that grabbed the front of my shirt and dug my fingernails in the skin as hard as I could muster. When I looked into their face they had already slammed their fist into my gut. I screamed. There was a burst of laughter. I slammed a chakra infused fist into the wrist, breaking it, and then slammed my fist into their face. I dodged the water-bubble attack and grabbed Deidara's hair as he turned to catch me I got a firm hold on his ponytail wrapping it once around my fist and swung him in a circle releasing his so that he would fly into one of his partners. There was a ripping sound as part of his scalp ripped and a howl of pain and slur of obscenities. I ducked to avoid a fist and jumped to miss a kick aimed towards my legs. I jumped back wards and landed against a wall. When I looked around they were no longer fighting, they were staring. I looked from each member and then I saw the raven. I instinctively closed my eyes, but I was too late I was caught.
I can't believe t, I thought he was dead! How is he here drawing me into his illusions? Unless, no there's no way they could have saved him or brought him back to life. No way. What kind of power does Pein posses? I opened my eyes and realized my arms were chained above my head, my feet chained to each side of the massive rock wall behind me. I checked to see if I had sustained any major injuries, I was relieved when I found no major ones. I looked up to see a man with a straw hat and a cloak on. I tried to see if he was the man I thought he was, and was startled when he removed the hat and grey hair came out and only one eye was the deep crimson red that I had come to identify with pain, fear, and heartache. I knew of only four people with these eyes: Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha, Madara, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hatake, Kakashi. One of these men was dead, another was not a member of this organization, another was a member but not in the presence of this group and the last I believed to be a proud Konoha ninja. I knew that the only option was for this man to be Madara, there was no way Kakashi-sensei would use this technique on me. I looked him squarely in the eye and addressed him, "Uchiha, Madara." The Kakashi illusion chuckled and became Madara. "I see you are not easily fooled as you used to be, Haruno. My grandson led me to believe that you were quite easy to fool." I was shocked for a moment and recovered. "I doubt your grandson would know anything accurate about who I am now as he left the village almost four years ago." He looked at me with a knowing look. Chuckling I added, "And I would not advise you to, misjudge me because I am hardly what I seem." I looked at him the perfect image of innocence, and smirked. He laughed and released my restraints. I rubbed my arms and they tingled as the blood flooded back into them. He looked at me apologetically, "Forgive me, but I just wanted to speak with you and I assume you will be more cooperative if you are comfortable." I rubbed my arms again and sat cross legged on the ground. "You assume right." I grinned up at him. He sat across from me and put a hand on both knees. "I promise this is no terrible scheme to get the nine-tails. That is a trivial matter to me. I need someone to convince my grandson that the rest of the Akatski members need to be terminated. I looked at him and was acutely aware of the fact that the shock showed plainly on my face. He looked at my confusion written on his face. "Is this impossible?" I coughed a terrible choaking sound. I cleared my throat and asked him in an astonished tone, "And what exactly do you suppose I do? All he thinks of me is a stupid fan-girl who was put on his team and was only a hindrance to him and his goals?" "Goals that he has now achieved." He reminded me. I looked at him and he gestured for me to continue my ranting. "You have to be crazy. Theirs is absolutely no way for me to convince him. There is no way to make him see things my way when the last time I asked him to do anything I was thirteen, a fangirl to the extreme, and I was begging him to stay with me or take me with him" I couldn't believe I was revealing this to a man who was a threat to my village, a village that was probably looking for me. I can't worry about that now; I have more important things to think about at the moment. Wow, since when has anything been more important than MY VILLAGE?! I think I'm losing my mind. I stood up and decided to look around this illusion world. I looked at him over my shoulder and he hadn't moved and was gazing pleasantly at me.
"Why did you pick me? I mean there HAS to be someone else who you could get to help you; I'm just about as helpful in this area as a mute." I turned away from him not caring about hiding the desperation in my voice.
"No, I'm afraid there is no one else. I feel you are the best candidate. Unfortunately you cannot show him your true strength, because then he will dismiss you as quickly as you dismiss yourself." I turned and walked back to my spot and plopped down and somehow managed to look graceful. I blew out a big breath and asked, "What do I do then? It's obvious I can't just walk up to him and say, "Hey Sasuke you should go kill all of the remaining Akatski members just for the heck of it." Can I?" He looked at me and chuckled, "No you can't. I do have a plan though." He explained the plan, basically I was supposed to "coincidentally" show up and show off my healing skills and he would force me to travel with him and then I would win a small piece of his attention and then I would ask him tactfully to kill the Akatski group. And then I would be delivered beaten and battered (all a part of the plan so that I wouldn't look like a traitor.) back to my village. Then I would deliver my information to Lady Tsunade (minus the part where Madara recruited me) then she would be able to tell Naruto he would be safe. Yeah, this wouldn't be difficult at all.
Well……..thats all folks. Haha
