Hello. Brook speaking. This is my first story on FanFiction so... yeah. I used to live on Quizilla, but that failed miserably so I moved here. Please except me with loving arms.

Peace, Love, and World Domination.

Brook-baka (The Awesome One)


"I've arranged so that you two have been assigned to Team Kakashi… Not just because you're around the same age as Uzumaki Naruto. Not just because of your strengths but because of your artistic minds. From today until your mission is complete, your names will be Sai and Nijiro." Danzou told Sai and I. He was crouched in front of our master and I was on the wall.

"I am called… Sai…" He smiled a fake smile.

"… Don't use that fake smile on me."

"I'm sorry… The manual said that the first way to appeal to someone is with a smiling face… I've practiced but…" Sai's face became sullen.

"I'm still unable to make facial expressions."

'You're making one now, silly.' I giggled in my head.


The next day we followed the orange clad ninja named Naruto until he stopped by the Chuunin Exam Prep Building.

"Eh, Nara Shikamaru. Chuunin. Smart tactics leader. Lazy as hell though." I mumbled, standing next to a seated Sai.

"Weeeell, I'ma go and hide. I prefer to test both team members at once, kay~?" I smiled and started to merge into Sai's shadow.

"Don't even try, Love-Handles." I huffed at the lewd nick-name Sai gave me, but canceled my technique.

"Fine." And with that I jumped away from the skillful artist ninja.

"I wonder where Haruno Sakura is? I could use her to--"

"Where's is Naruto..." I turned and saw the pink-haired Konoichi walking my way. I hid behind a tree and merged with it's shadow. She was still coming my way.

"Huh? I could've sworn I heard something..." She stepped into the shadow and I switched to her shadow.

"Oh well... Naruto! Where are you!!"

'Geez, this chick is loud...' I winced. She walked to the Hokage's building where we were supposed to meet and on the way found Naruto.

"Hiya." I recognized Sai's calm voice.

"YOU!!!" And that must be Naruto.

"We're missing one person." I saw a man who I assumed was taking Kakashi-sempai's place.

"No we're not. She's been with you the whole time." Sai smiled. Everyone was confused.

"Nijiro."

"Fiiine~" My giggle echoed. Sakura's shadow became a silhouette of my short figure and I emerged from the shadow.

"Boo." I grinned, inches in front of the freaked out Sakura.

"Um, from now on, Team Kakashi, I'll be taking the place of..."

"Naruto, do you know these people?"

"Sorry about before. I just wanted to gauge the ability of my new team member. Didn't know I'd have to look after a little prick with no balls." Sai smiled.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!"

"Hey! He's your team mate now! Cool down!" Sakura yelled holding Naruto back.

"But... you're not very nice..."

"Hehe!" I could help but giggle and wait for Sai's reply.

"Ahaha, really? I like people like you, friendly butt-ugly girls." It was our new leader's turn to hold Sakura back.

"Hey! Remember what you said to Naruto!?" After a while everyone calmed down and our new leader introduced himself.

"As of today, I, Yamato, will be replacing Kakashi-sempai as your team leader. Anyway, from now on the five of us are on a mission, but look at you... There's no time to just throw you all in a cage and get acquainted with one another... So introduce yourselves."

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

"I'm Haruno Sakura."

"My name is Sai." Another fake smile.

"Hi! My name is Nijiro, like 'Rainbow', Niji, and 'Color', Iro, put together! I like candy, bunnies, natto and sweets, various colors, green tea, merging into shadows, 'changing' my appearence, cooking, Sai's art and comparing breast sizes with other girls! By the way, Sakura, I don't even need to touch your boobs to tell mine are bigger than yours~" I smiled sweetly as she glared at me.

"Well, now that we know each other that's the end of that. Now, I'll explain our mission. From here we will proceed to the Tenchi Bridge. There we will intercept the spy Akatsuki has in Orochimaru's organization and bring them back. This is our chance to find out about Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke. We can gain the source's valuable information which may lead to the assasination of Orochimaru and take Sasuke back. So keep focused!"

'Dumb... It's always "We can rescue Sasuke!" or, "Take Sasuke back!" Ever think Sasuke doesn't want to be rescued? And it's not like he was STOLEN or anything!' My smile dropped a bit.

"We will assemble at the front gate in one hour! After assorting out equipment we will depart!"

"Hai!" I saluted and jumped off.


I opened the letter enclosed to me after my superior left, reading its contents. I sighed folding my clothes and putting them in my bag. I strapped my ichigenkin on my back and hung my bag over my shoulder. I ran a brush through my multicolored hair and placed that, too, in my bag. I then placed a white lotus in my hair. I took in a deep breath as my hand lingered on the doorknob.

'Smile. Smile...'

I smiled and went out the door.

"Sorry I'm late!" I waved as I reached the gate.

"You're just in time, Nijiro. Right then! Team Kakashi departs!" Yamato said walking down the road.
