Chapter 2
A New Life
My life here has played out differently than I expected. I lived in Bake-mono village or Demon village. I am a shinobi and I still had my Neko onii and Katsune onii. I am half neko, half katsune. (Half cat, half fox). I was put as the leader of a squad of four to train them. We are the only village to have training groups of four instead of three.
We didn't do your typical missions either. Our village leader called me to his house for my new mission. We don't have a Kage. I'm a Jonine, the strongest shinobi aside from a Kage. I'm the youngest shinobi sensei in our village.
Once I got there, our leader got out of his chair and walked over to me, his onii bird perched on his shoulder. He was wearing his trench coat with short sleeves and had a crescent moon on one side and sun on the other.
"Hello Inchigo Haruno." He said.
"Hello sensei." I said in greeting. Yes my name means strawberry. My name changed when I was reborn here. I was born six years before my oldest cousins who were originally only two years younger. Zach and Erica are still the same age as each other, but are now 16. A lot has changed since we were reborn here, like none of us are related except for Zach and Calvin, who are still brothers.
I'm wearing a low cut pink shirt that's kind of like a crop top. Also shorts where the pockets show out the bottom. My headband on my forehead. "I have a new mission for you. It's probably the most important one yet." He said. This village only has Demon people, but another fun fact is that over half the population of this village came from other dimensions. "You have to go find team 7 from the village hidden in the leaves and protect them and bring them here before the evil demons come for them."
"Who is in team 7?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake."
"Oh, I see. We'll do our very best I promise." I said then left. Damn. How much time do we have? I have no way of knowing. I'm just glad I was right about having more time to train.
Once I got outside I noticed my group waiting for me. "So what's the mission sensei?" Ashley asked. Here she is eleven years old. Her shirt was loose and had an Uchiha symbol on the front. She wore shorts with a chain. Her headband was on her forehead and her hair covering one eye.
"We've got to go protect group 7 of the village hidden in the leaves and bring them here." I said.
"Why a dumb old mission like that? Are they demons or something?" Calvin asked. He's fourteen here. His hair was half spiky, and his shirt buttoned at the top. He wore pant with a chain and his headband on his arm.
"One is, but that's not the point. Our assassins are looking for them to use as hostages so we need to go find them." I said.
"Okay easy as pie. I'll get send my fukurou onii and koyoote onii to find them and see where they are going." He said talking about his owl demon and coyote demon. His coyote can find anyone anywhere and his owl can see into their minds. It's easier for the owl when he already knows them. The owl and coyote will wait where we should be and since Calvin has a mental connection with his demons, like the rest of us, it'll be easier.
The owl lifted off of Calvin's shoulder and took off south of town with the coyote closing in. We followed more slowly and stopped at my house. "I'll be right back." I said and went inside. My house was small. It only had three rooms, my bedroom, my kitchen/living room, and my bathroom.
I went into my bedroom and looked around for five bags then filled them for what we would need for the journey. Then I went outside and gave a bag to each person. "Time to go." I said. "Calvin you lead the way."
"Shh. We're the only ones that are allowed to even know our real names." He said.
"Sorry, but nobody's around. Believe me, I know." I said.
We stated walking out of town. Excitement coursed through me as I eagerly anticipated the meeting. I can't wait to meet them.
