Chapter 2: Knowledge is Useless if it is Incorrect
The Akatsuki members did not attempt to restrain Kazumi: her speed was vastly superior to all of them (except Tobi if he ever cared to stop her). However, both Suigetsu and Juugo tackled her to ground. Karin had also jumped in the short space between Sasuke and Kazumi in an attempt to protect Sasuke. Sasuke remained unfazed by his near assault, but now was curious. "Suigetsu, Juugo, can you help her up?"
Suigetsu took a good look at this angry (but now unusually calm ninja). She had shoulder length brown hair and intense blue eyes (I swear, a moment ago they were green!). She was around 5' 4" and although she seemed calm, the intensity from her eyes was slightly unnerving. Juugo also seemed cautious about offering help to Kazumi, but at the same time, he and Suigetsu helped an almost stiff Kazumi to her feet. Surprisingly, Kazumi thanked the both of them.
Those eyes, Sasuke thought, it's almost like a fire that has almost extinguished, but has been stirred to life. "Girl, what is your name," Sasuke demanded.
Kazumi remained silent and ignored the new recruits. Instead she turned to Tobi. "This is the best you could do? Honestly Tobi-sama, you would have had better luck recruiting from the Ninja Academy." Immediately, Karin appeared in front of Kazumi. "You can't just ignore Sasuke-kun!"
Kazumi remained silent, but there was an odd glint in her eye. Half a second later, Karin was sent flying into a wall. Juugo runs to her side to investigate her injuries. Sasuke glanced over and seeing Karin merely knocked out returns his attention over to Kazumi. "You did not answer my question."
"My name is Kazumi and the way you and your team act, it will be the name of your murderer. However, I would like to know the name of my victims so I can hold a proper burial."
Suigetsu glanced between Kazumi and Sasuke. This new girl: so calm, frightening, yet respectful. She is the perfect match for Sasuke...if she doesn't kill him first. "I'm Suigetsu. The girl you greeted kindly earlier is Karin and the other guy is Juugo."
Kazumi bowed her head in response to Suigetsu and glanced at Tobi. "May I leave now?"
Tobi smiled, "Of course, but here are your robes." He handed Kazumi a bag and she immediately left. She did pause to glance at Karin whose body twitched as if something exploded. Upon seeing Juugo's reaction, Kazumi smirked, "Relax, I only exploded one of her ribs and it's not even remotely dangerous or close to her vitals."
Tobi turned to the rest of the Akatsuki and dismissed them. He sighed at the prospect of cleaning Kazumi's mess and having to also explain the situation to Sasuke. With luck, this could go well…
