Mental Magikarp does not own Naruto

Mesashi looked round. He was at home. His twin sister, Semashi, was watching his elder brothers and sister sparring. His younger borthers and sisters were nowhere to be seen. Suddenly a voice called from another room.

"Kids," it said, loud and strong, "I have a surprise for you!" A man stepped through the door. His face was shrouded in shadow. Then the darkness came.

Mesashi woke in a cold sweat. It had been a dream. Again. He always dreamed about the day his parents left when he was on missions. When he was five they had knocked him and his siblings out and left erasing their identities from his mind and from those of his brothers and sisters. He was sixteen now, but he still thought about them and who they were. He cleared these thoughts from his mind and grabbed his pack. He nudged Hebi and Emiko with the tip if his foot. Emiko yawned as he touched her, showing her gleaming white fangs. Hebi didn't budge but just looked around lazily. Mesashi had got his two snakes from his eldest brother, Junechi, when he graduated from the academy at the age of nine. Emiko was a slender poisonous viper, whilst Hebi was a bulking Python. They went everywhere with Mesashi and they always would.

As he leapt through the trees Mesashi thought about his mission. I t had been given to him by the Raikage personally. Infiltrate Konoha and deliver a peace treaty to the Hokage. It was a high risk mission but Mesashi was up to it. Apparently, his clan had relatives in Konoha. He would find them too. They might know who his parents were. His train of thought was interrupted when he caught sight of movement below him. He stopped and watched for a while.

Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata and Aburame Ahino walked cautiously through the dark, dingy forest. They knew that they were near their target. They had been told by Lady Tsunade to hunt and capture a shinobi from the village hidden in the clouds who had been wandering in the fire country for quite a while now. Unless the shinobi had backup they would have no problem dealing with just one opponent.

Mesashi had been watching the three teenagers for a while when the branch he was one cracked away from the trunk. He gulped and it hurtled towards the ground. He was on his feet in a flash and facing the two boys. One rode atop a large dog whilst the other one had his face almost completely covered. There was no sign of the girl. He smiled and waited for them to make the first move.

Are Kiba and Shino a match for Mesashi and where is Hinata? It will all be revealed in chapter 2!
