The sound of heavy raindrops filled the air, blocking out any hope of silence. But then again, silence wasn't necessary at this moment. Because at this moment, a horrifying scene had occurred. A brunette ninja with shoulder-high brown hair with red highlights, green eyes, pale skin, dressed in a black Konoha Jonin outfit with a black tank-top instead of the regular Jonin vest watched with wide eyes as another girl, a bit smaller than the first, bearing dyed-blue hair that came down to her waist with turquoise eyes, and pale skin, cloaked in the Konoha standard Chunin clothing looked on with a blank stare. Next to them was another girl who had long, straight, dark brown hair that was pulled back into a simple ponytail. She had almond shaped hazel-green eyes, a round face, and translucent fair skin. Unlike the ninja next to her, she had worn a long sleeve V neck shirt, simple pants with the hem tucked into shinobi boots, all in black. Dark brown leather straps crossed her torso for her twin swords, which were strapped at her back.
In front of them was none other than Keazako, who was bent on one knee, heavily bleeding and gasping as he tried to stand. The sound of raindrops was not rain at all. But instead, it was Kea's blood, pouring out like the rain itself.
"That's enough, Nana!" The first brunette shouted. Though she was the older sister, she couldn't help but be scared of Nana when she got like this. The sweet, innocent girl that was once her sister was now in a form that she rarely had to resort to. The form of a ruthless, cold-hearted killer. Of course, this was not just out of the blue. Behind Kea, was the corpse of a certain blonde haired male. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and he wore a heavily scorched, but identifiable Akatsuki cloak.
"…Kea…" Nana said, looking forward at the dark-skinned ninja. Kea slowly looked up to Nana, panting heavily as he struggled to stay on his feet. "…We trusted you…I trusted you…" the Bluenette slowly shook as she barred her teeth to the shinobi. "I trusted you! I trusted you to protect him!" she shouted. "And instead, you do…THIS?!" Kea was too tired to reply, unable to talk back.
"N-Nana! Don't do this!" the second brunette shouted. "Please! You've done enough! He probably had his reasons an-"
"SHUT UP, AKAHANA!" the Bluenette screamed as she looked back to Akahana, who flinched and remained silent. "There's no excuse! None at all!" She looked back to Kea, who had gotten go his feet, though he was staggering. Nana's teeth were barred like a feral animal now. "I'm gonna crush you, Kea! I'm gonna make you pay for killing Deidara!" Kea then pulled a scroll out of his chunin vest before he threw it up into the air.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Dance!" he shouted, while also flipping through a few hand signs. Tiger, Hare, Ram. He pulled his head back, taking a very painful deep breath before throwing his head forward. As he did, two fire dragons shot out of his mouth, rushing towards Nana.
"Kea, don't!" Akahana shouted, though she knew she could do nothing to stop the two who were clashing now. Nana growled, and weaved her own hand signs. Bird, Tiger, Dog, Ram, Hare. She glared at the two dragons, not letting them escape her sight. Not that they were trying to, as they were rushing straight for her.
"Gaia Reaction!" She screamed out. She then slammed her hands to the ground, which started to rumble a bit before two large vines shot up into the air. They entangled themselves around each other, creating a barrier for Nana. Even though the fire dragons hit head on, causing two large explosions, it was the plants that prevailed, barely a singe on them. Nana flipped through the same hand signs, then slapped her hands onto the back of the large vines. On the other side of them, a large number of thorn-barbed, smaller vines shot out of the plants, aimed at Kea. The thorns themselves were a dark blue, while the vines were green.
Kea went wide eyed upon seeing the large storm of vines come his way. He could barely move, but he knew that he had to. Otherwise, it wouldn't end well for him. He jumped back, avoiding the vines, zigzagging as they got closer. No matter where he went, the barbed vines were always right behind him. Kea rubbed his thumb on one of the open wounds on his body, and suddenly jumped up. As he did, the scroll from earlier came into his view. He reached out to the scroll, his hand getting close. However, he hissed in pain as he looked down. One of the barbed vines wrapped around his leg, the thorns embedding themselves deep into his skin while suddenly dragging him down to the ground. A small crater formed into the ground once he made contact, a cloud of dust appearing around the crash. Kea coughed up blood once his back made contact with the earth. The scroll dropped down next to Kea, who extended his hand out for it. Nana slowly walked forward as the other vines gripped onto Kea's hands and other leg, making the boy howl out in pain.
The vines then lifted Kea, who was too weak to struggle, out of the crater. Nana's walk started to slow just a tad. Soon, she was right in front of the boy.
"Those are special Vines." She said in a cold, rage-filled voice. "The thorns are poisonous. Just one could kill a human in about a week. No matter where it pierces." She said, slowly pulling out a kunai. "But you have more than one. A lot more than one. Even I don't know how many there are inside of you. But you'll be lucky if you last for half that time." She said.
"Nana!" The first brunette shouted, running forward. "Please! Stop this!"
"Please Nana!" Akahana shouted as well, running next to the kunoichi. "Listen to Akane! Listen to your sister!" Nana could care less about what either of them said.
"Look me in the eye." The Bluenette said as she raised the blade, placing the cold, metal tip against his chest. Kea's eyes were half-lidded now. "Look me in the eye…when you die." Nana said in her cold voice. One tear drop fell from her eyes as she barred her teeth, and then shoved the kunai forward.
-3 months Earlier-
Konoha was announcing the new Chunin this year. In the center of the Chunin Stadium, only four people stood tall. Akane, Nana, Akahana, and Keazako. Only four of them had made it to the finals, and won. But as a lot of people in the Hidden Leaf knew, it didn't matter who won or not. What mattered was the skill shown during the chunin exams. And these four had exceptional skill. As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju, looked down at the three teenagers, her eye was mostly captured by the one brunette girl with red high lights in her hair.
"Though many took on the challenge of the Chunin exams, you four have not only shown exceptional skills in the art of the Shinobi, but have also made it past the final round of the Chunin exams. Few have accomplished both of those, but you four are not few. You are strong. You are shinobi and Kunoichi!" the blonde shouted, getting the crowd to go crazy. "you have proven that you four have what it takes to be splendid Ninja. And as such, you shall be given the mark of splendid Ninja." As she said that, four Jonin walked towards the standing genin, brand new Hitai-ates in each of their hands. One of them was different, however. It was black, while the other three were red. Kea, Nana, and Akahana received the red headbands, while Akane received the black one. "These Hitai-ates will not only identify you as an ally to the Hidden Leaf, but your rank as well. Three of those bear the rank of Chunin, the goal that was intended by this test." She explained as Kea, Akahana, and Nana also received Chunin vests, which they tried on immediately. "However, one of the Hitai-ates is above the rank of Chunin. Upon one of you four, there is a shinobi of even further experience. A Jonin." At that, all four of the smaller shinobi went wide eyed, and then looked to Akane, who looked down to her Hitai-ate. "You have shown prowess that succeeds that of a Chunin, and as such, it is only fair, to reward you with something to show that you have done so. Keazako, Nana, and Akahana Tsukino. You three move up to Chunin. Akane, you have moved up to the rank of a Jonin. Congratulations!" Tsunade said to the four.
The crowd was going absolutely nuts at this, shouting out random sounds to show their support. Kea tied his Hitai-ate around his forehead. Nana tied hers around her neck. Akahana tied her Headband around her arm. Akane…she was still very shocked. After a few seconds of staring at the Hitai-ate in her hands, she looked to Nana. Seeing that the girl had tied her Hitai-ate around her neck, she smiled, and did the same. The two sisters smiled at each other, and then Akane hugged Nana as tight as she could.
"I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!" The brunette shouted, while Nana blushed, but hugged back.
"S-Same here." Kea chuckled softly, crossing his arms as he looked up to the sky.
"heh. That wasn't so tough." Akahana sweat dropped, and then smacked Kea on his arm.
"Oh shush. You were the one who had to go to the bathroom in the Forest of Death….20 times…in one day."
"Hey, what can I say? When a man's gotta go, he's gotta go." Kea replied.
"But you're still a teenager." Akahana giggled. Before Kea could reply, Tsunade started to speak again.
"There's more to this!" she shouted. "You four are all missing one thing. A team. Usually, it would be against the rules for genin to take the chunin exams without any cell members. But you four showed exceptional skill, as stated before. So with the watchful eyes of Anko Mitarishi and a few extra Jonin, you four were allowed to take the test. Now that three of you are chunin, and one of you is a Jonin, you will be completing future missions together. As a four man cell. Now, Introduce yourselves."
Akahana giggled softly at hearing that. Having a team to call her own was actually music to her ears.
"Akahana Tsukino. Chunin of Konohagakure. I am now part of a Four man Cell!" she shouted. Nana stopped hugging her sister, and looked up to Tsunade while standing straight, her blue hair falling to her waist again.
"Nana. Chunin of Konohagakure. I am now part of a Four Man Cell!" she shouted out, squeaking a bit, which made her blush, and made her sister giggle. Kea uncrossed his arms, and clenched his fist in front of him.
"Keazako. Chunin of Konohagakure. I am now part of a Four Man Cell!" he called out. Akane cracked her knuckles, then smirked and looked up.
"Akane. Jonin of Konohagakure. I am now the leader of a Four Man Cell!" she shouted. Tsunade smirked at the sight. Only a select few had as much determination in their eyes as these four did.
"We are Team Akane! Shinobi and Kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf Village!" All four of them shouted out in sync, as if they had rehearsed it. At this, the crowd had gotten even louder than before, as if they were in a trance and forced to scream their heads off. "And we will always protect one another! No matter what the cost!"
And that's the chapter! Pretty short, right? I think all of my first chapters are for some reason. But when school gets in the way of everything, I lose focus a lot on a few ideas that I think up. Anyway, in the next chapter, will we see what happened to these four friends? Or will we see the darkness that is starting to spread? Stick around and find out for yourself! Next time!
