Chapter 1:

*Yumis POV*

It was the first day after the declaration of war and I was sitting in the tavern listening to the stories of Shinobi who just came back from other villages.

I was tired and tried to relax since I had guard duty the whole night and was close to fall asleep when my friend Fazzenesa came in and walked over to me.

„Hey Yumi, how are you?", he asked cheerful as always and started to chat a little bit with me.

First we talked about the usual stuff like the weather and so on but soon or topic switched to more serious things like the war.

„I still can't believe that Konoki is actually stupid enough to declare war to us. They should know that we are stronger and have more skilled Shinobi than them", Fazz said chuckeling.

„They probably thought that they might blackmail us and get a few million Ryo if they offer to end this war without killing. Too bad for them that Shine is too stubborn to take an offer like this", I answered and couldn't hold back a smile.

Just when I started enjoying this little chat Kasado, one of the Genins of Shine appeared at the entrance and called out that an intruder from Konoki was seen.

With this the calm and relaxed mood in the tavern broke down.

Some of the Genins in the tavern started panicking while others wanted to head out and raid down the attacker while most of the Chuunin or higher ranks just ignored the message and continued to chat or drink.

During all this commotion Really came in and curiously asked what's going on.

„There's some intruder from Konoki", I told him annoyed and just wanted to continue the chat with fazz but knew that this probably won't be possible since someone had to take care of the intruder.

Please don't say that I have to go out hunting now…

„Seems like we will have to take care of this", Really spoke out what I just thought.

Damn…

So Fazz, Really and I went out and started to search the Konokian what didn't take long since we sent out hundreds of Clones and Phantom soldiers.

As soon as we found the Konokian we started to follow him until we were near the residence of the Kage.

"I know this one! That's Kayashi! I met him once when I was sent as a messenger to Konoki", Really told us when he recognized the intruder.

"We have to take him down fast since Shadow won't be happy to hear that a raider from another village got this far", Fazz muttered and as if this was a sign a Genin called NeoProxy jumped out in front Kayashi and was going to attack him.

Great. Just what we needed... -.-

I was going to leave my hideout too to save the Genin from being slaughtered when Really held me back and suddenly Sasuke1010 appeared at the scene and dragged her student out of the field.

"That's our chance!", Fazz said and with this we used Kayashi's confusion and launched into the fight.

It was a short but bloody fight and in the end Kayashi managed to get away seriously injured by using a smoke bomb.

Fazz and I were going to go after him but Really held us back.

"He won't come far and even if he makes it back to Konoki he won't be stupid enough to attack Shine again and he'll be good to scare off other idiots too"

So we let him run and went to the Kage's office to report what happened.

On our way to the Kage Sasuke1010 joined again since she and her student got involved too.

"I'm sorry guys. I was training with my students when Neo suddenly disappeared and when I found him he already got into your way… But don't worry, he'll get a proper punishment!", Sasu told us.

"No problem Sasu, but he was lucky that you were there! And in the end he even became useful for us since he distracted the intruder so we could attack him" I answered grinning and gave my friend a hug.

Soon we arrived at the Kages office and were asked to come in.

Theshadow99 was sitting at her desk and signing some papers when we stepped in so we just stood there silently for a few minutes and waited until she spoke to us.

"So…. What exactly happened?", she asked after a while and put the papers down.

The four of us looked at each other for a second until Really began to sum up what happened.

"Well, Fazzenesa and Yumicho were at the tavern when a Genin, I think his name was Kasado came in and told us that there was an intruder from Konoki, so we went out to get him. When we found him and were going to attack him NeoProxy, the student of Sasuke1010 got in our way by attacking the raider. Sasuke1010 came, saved her student and we attacked the Konokian but in the end he got away".

For a moment no one said a word until the Kage broke the silence.

"I see…. What would you suggest to do as a reaction?", she asked.

Well, that was a surprise.

"You want US to tell you what to do?", I asked unbelieving.

"Yes, didn't you hear me?", she answered without any sign that she was making fun of us.

After a short glance at the others I decided to make a suggestion.

"Well…….. I don't know what the others think but I think we should attack Konoki. Not everyone in Shine at once, but small raiding groups who continuously attack them as a sign that they shouldn't mess around with Shine….", Fazz said which was answered with approving murmuring from us others.

And again….. silence.

"I think… it's worth a try", Theshadow said after a while.

"I want the 4 of you to prepare to head off to Konoki. Make sure that there's pretty much tumult, attack a few Shinobi and come back to Shine after this. You're dismissed for now"

With this we bowed to her and left her office.

As soon as we were on the other side of the door I and Sasu put our arms around Fazz's shoulders and started to laugh.

"Good work Fazz! You just managed to get us the approval to have a little fun in Konoki!", I said still laughing.

"Well, then we should use this chance!", Sasu added and so all of us parted to pack our things for the journey to Konoki.

Thanks to:

Kayashi

And all the other Konokians who let them self getting killed and were used for his FF.
