Chapter 3

Konaha's Splendor

As Sasuke and Samarie walked through Konaha they were suddenly interrupted by Konahamaru who asked shrewdly. "Hey, aren't you that girl from the Mist who collapsed outside the Main Gate?" the question directed at Samarie. Samarie sighed then said, "Yeah, yeah I am."

Konahamaru nodded solemnly making Samarie snicker. Sasuke looked as though something finally dawned on her. "Oh, I almost forgot! Konahamaru, meet Samarie, Samarie, meet Konahamaru." Sasuke finally announced. Konahamaru nodded solemnly again, still making Samarie snicker this time aloud. Konahamaru looked at me like I was crazy then shrugged and stalked off. Sasuke sighed then said. "He's bent on being like my boy friend and ever since he left with Jaria again he's been sulking." Samarie asked "Who's your boy friend?"

"Naruto, he said he's going to 'Hokage' one day, though he'll have to wait for granny Senadea to retire before anything else." Sasuke replied. "Ah." Samarie said.

Chapter 4

A Mission Arises

In the middle of the tour Sasuke and Samarie were interrupted by an AMBU member easily recognized by his mask. "Sasuke-chan, Hokage-sama has asked you and – er – the Mist ninja to meet her in her office." Sasuke nodded and said. "All right let's go!" and started to run to the large building in the center of Konaha. So naturally Samarie ran to catch up.

Later in the Hokage's office

"All right now that you are all here, I'll explain the mission!" Hokage said referring to Naruko, Yamoto, Kakashi, Sasuke & Samarie. the Hokage continued. "I would like you all to check out the latest Atkatsuki sighting, be careful though we all know the Atkatsuki are after Bijuus, remember this is an S rank mission, be careful." And with that the Hokage sent us to get some rest and be ready for the mission in the morning.

After wards Sasuke was bouncing in excitement. "I haven't been assigned an S ranked mission in along time!" she announced. Samarie was embarrassed, for she had been assigned S ranked missions all the time because she was the best of the best of the Mist AMBU, and decided to stay quiet.

Chapter 5

And So It Begins

Samarie yawned and got out of bed at the temporary apartment her mom was renting, "And hopefully, I'll earn some cash on this mission." When Samarie finally got dressed Sasuke chose to come see if Samarie was up or not. (obviously she was.)

"Come on Samarie were going to be later than Kakashi if you don't hurry up!"

Sasuke said anxiously. "OK, OK I'm coming." Samarie said in an exasperated tone as they walked down the dirt road leading towards the Main Gate.

Even though Samarie and Sasuke were late Kakashi was later. So when Kakashi finally arrived everyone including Samarie were anxious to leave.

"Sasuke, where are we going any way?" Samarie asked once they all had gone a mile or so. Sasuke gave me a look that said, How – The – Heck – Am – I – Supposed – To – Know – That? which shut her up until I asked Naruko, and his response was. "I think were going to the fire temple again to check things out, or at least that's what I heard." so Samarie nodded and stayed silent.

We were almost there when Kakashi said, "We're being followed." an then preformed the summoning Jutsu to summon Pakkun a ninja dog. Then said "Pakkun, go find out who is following us, report back immediately." Pakkun nodded then sped off.

As soon as Pakkun left we were immediately attacked. Yaaaaaah the attacker yelled as he jump on Samarie but fortunately she was to fast and kicked down on the attacker driving his head and shoulders two feet in to the earth. Samarie smiled but that vanished as soon as she saw that the thing she had driven into the ground was a log. "Damn, a replacement." Samarie thought.

Sasuke quickly looked around and spotted the attacker in the tree and activated her Sharingan. Samarie noticed what Sasuke was looking at and hastily began forming the seals for her own Jutsu known as; Earth element: stone cavern; which forms a box of rock around the enemy. Samarie then used her Jutsu. and this time her move prevailed.

Sasuke looked at me and said, "Wow, you didn't even need me!" Samarie looked away and said, "let's just see who attacked us." and started towards the stone cavern and muttered, "Earth window." and a cage like window appeared in the wall.

Samarie looked in and saw a man in a black cloak with red clouds painted on it, Atkatsuki! She realized, then looking at the face thought, "It's a man around 21 with lines on ether side of his nose. Hmm that looks familiar, it's Itachi!" Samarie suddenly realized. Then thought, "I'd better consult Sasuke before I do anything!"
