"So you were sent to kill me? Why? Why would you betray me and your village? Who sent you? I trusted you with my life. We are a team." said a konoichi from where she lay, bleeding on the ground. The konoichi knew the wounds wouldn't kill her, but she also knew that the ANBU operative standing above her was going to finish the job with a customary poison that the ninja of her village used to torture and get information. The poison would ensure you would die a slow, and very, very painful death.
"Because I was told to by my master. I don't obey your father like most everyone in the village. I have one king, and it's not yours." Replied the ninja. He knelt down beside his injured comrade, and pulled out a syringe, comfirming the konoichi's fears. "I'm sorry about this Kaida, I really am, but I have to listen to my master." With that the ANBU jammed the syringe into Kaida's arm, injecting her with the poison.
The last thing Kaida saw before passing out from blood loss, was her comrade's puff of smoke, no doubt going to tell his master his mission was complete and that Princess Kaida was, as they spoke, dying a slow, painful death. 'Man I hate my life sometimes.' Kaida thought before everything went black.
"Sakura-Sensei, I think I found one." Yelled a young konoichi, getting her sensei's attention.
"Let's see then Nina." Sakura walked over to her genin student. "Yes you have. Thank you." Sakura took the herb from Nina and put it in her bag.
"I'm going to look over there Sensei." Nina said, walking deeper into the forest surrounding the Hidhen Leaf Village.
"Alright. I'll be there in a moment." Sakura said, reaching down to pick an herb up.
"Alright." Nina walked a few feet and turned to go around a huge tree, but stopped short, seeing something covered in leaves. 'What could that be?' She thought as she walked over to investigate. Nina knelt down beside the object, and started to remove the leave. As she removed the leave, she started to tell what it was. "SENSEI!" She yelle, falling on her rear in suprise.
Sakura came running around the tree at full speed, stopping when she saw Nina knelt over something in the ground. "What's wrong Nina? Why did you scream?"
"Sensei, we have to help her." Nina said, still kneeling over the unknown object.
Thinking it was an animal, Sakura sighed, and moved around Nina, gasping at what she saw. Laying there on the ground, was a young woman, bloody and unconscious. Sakura wne t into medical ninja mode, and knelt down to try and wake the girl up, noticing she was dressed like an ANBU ninja, her mask laying next to her, slightly under the leaves. "She's an ANBU operative, but surely not one of our's. There's no symbol on her mask." Sakura pulled out her communicator and called the Hokage's office.
"Yes Sakura?" The Hokage answered.
"We have an emergency." Sakura replied.
"Is something wrong with Nina?" He asked.
"No, nothing is wrong with your daughter Naruto. She did find an ANBU operative from another village. The ANBU is injured, can you send a team to help me transport her to the medical unit?"
"Sure thing Sakura." There was a long pause on the other end of the line. "Can you please give me your location?"
Sakura gave Naruto her location, and disconnected.
"You don't think she came for someone in the village, do you Sakura-Sensei?" Nina aasked, a little worried. She knew people wanted her father, mother, and sensei dead.
"I don't think she came for anyone in the village. If she had, she would have had at least one companion, and that person would have taken her back to their village when she got hurt, or healed her, since these wounds aren't that bad." Sakura looked up and saw that Nina was slightly relieved.
At that exact moment the recovery team came to help Sakure and Nina get the young ninja back to the village. It took about five minutes to get the ninja strapped to the board. They had to make sure her neck, and any other bones were not broken before they could strap her in. They strapped her to the board to transport her to the medical unit. It then took three minutes to get her to the medical unit, and from there Sakura, and Hinata set to work healing the young konoichi's wounds, with the help of Nina when she was asked.
"How is she?" Asked Naruto as he walked into the room were they put the strange ninja.
"She's stable, and should be waking up soon." Sakura replied. No sonner had Sakura said this, did the strange konoichi wake up. "I didn't think it would be this soon though."
"Shit." Was all the konoichi said before she started to scream, and wither around in pain.
"Help me strap her down!" Hinata yelled over the ninja's screams. With the help of Naruto, Sakura, and Nina, they got the ninja strapped to the bed. She had stopped screaming, but still seemed to be having trouble keeping still.
"Should we give her something for the pain she seems to be in?" Nina asked her mother.
"I suppose we should." Hinata answered.
"It won't do any good." Came a voice from the bed.
"You're talking?" Naruto walked over to the side of the bed to look the young konoichi in the eyes.
"Not without difficulty." It was obvious the girl was in pain, but her voice was vdery clear, and calm.
"What did you mean it won't do any good? I could stop you pain." Sakura look at the konoichi with a questioning look.
"No it won't. The pain I am in, is caused by a poison the ninja in my village us to interagate people. If you use a small amout, you can cause a person to be in awlful pain, and the person will die very slowly. The person who poisoned me gave me a large amount. I will die a slow, and very, very painful death." The ninja closed her eyes as another dart of pain coursed through her body.
"What is your name? Why are you here?" Naruto asked the girl.
"My name is Kaida. I was sent here to talk to the Hokage about an alliance between our villages." She said, not opening her eyes.
"What village are you from?" Hinata asked.
"The Village Hidden In The Breeze." Kaida said before passing out again.
