Disclaimer: Again, I made Nakita... Alan made Itasuske... other people made other people... We came up with plot.
Itasuske woke to the smell of something good. He quickly got dressed and went to the dining area.
"Morning, lazy bum." Nakita said. "What's that? It smells really good!" His mouth was watering just at the smell of it. "Try it." Nakita handed him a bowel of some sort of soup. He dug into it, eating the contents of the bowel in a matter of seconds. "Just as good as it smelled, what was it?"
"Snake stew." Nakita had a small smile on her lips. "WHA?!?!? YOU FED ME SNAKE?" Itasuske suddenly felt as though he could still feel the snakes in his stomach. "Yep, it's my specialty." She seemed like she was quite enjoying this. "Well…. I guess it did taste good, you have more?" Itasuske was quick on recovering, having eaten only one thing weirder in his life. "Usually people throw up when they hear what it is, I guess you are special."
The morning was uneventful. Itasuske trained and kept trying to get the same feeling as yesterday. What was that? Did it come out only when his life was in danger? Then he focused, only thinking about that feeling. He noticed his chakra focusing on his eye. He got it. He let the chakra explode in that area, and he knew he had got it right. He could see all around him, and not just in the field. He could see all the way to the cottage, which was a good mile away. He was looking through out the cottage, and noticed he could hone into specific targets. This certainly was a interesting ability. He shut off his eye, which he had learned was called the Byakugan from lore he had heard.
He went into the cottage, being a little tired from the experimentation of his eye. He went into his sleeping area, and found a book lying there. He opened it, but found all the pages blank, except one, which read "Meet me in the back." He sighed, did everyone like toying with him? Oh well, might as well. He went outside to find Nakita standing opposite him.
"Look, I know you're different, I can see it in your eyes and in your posture. So, I want to have a little sparing to assess your abilities." With that, she threw several shuriken in his direction. Quickly dodging them, Itasuske took out is kunai, and started looking for a slip up. Nakita, not impressed, took out her own kunai, and rushed toward him. He got himself prepared, but then heard "do you think you can beat me?" in his head. This threw him off balance, and was not prepared for the strike on his arms. Having been cut, Itasuske quickly took several steps back. "What in the world was that?!?" he exclaimed.
"You shouldn't become distracted when you have a enemy approaching you. Ninja basics 101." Nakita smiled that small smile of hers, only this time it was a little unnerving. "Ok, give me a second chance. I will not be distracted this time." Itasuske had a little something planned for her this time. Nakita rushed again, bringing her kunai to bear. Then 3 kunai came out of nowhere and were heading for Itasuske. Clever, he thought, but not enough. He jumped, dodging the kunai, and landed his feet on a nearby tree, which he propelled himself off of and rushed headlong at Nakita. Surprised at Itasuske's ingenuity, she just stood there. When Itasuske buried his Kunai into her arm, all he heard was poof and knew he was in for it. Nakita was right below him, looking up at the flying ninja. All she had to do was reach up her arm, grab Itasuske, and swing him downward. He landed on the ground with a thud , but did manage to land a firm kick to the chin with his free foot.
She let him go, and with a satisfied grin, said "ouch, nice kick. Where did you learn that from?" "I didn't, it's just become a reflex from all the years I've been on the road." Itasuske got up and dusted himself off. "Nice substitution, by the way." She smiled, stretched, and said, "Let's grab some lunch."
After lunch, Itasuske heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Nakita said. While he was cleaning the table, Itasuske heard shouting come from the doorway. He went to investigate, and saw Nakita and a man with glasses and white hair with a sound headband arguing.
"No, Kabuto, I don't want to go back!" "Well, I have been told to bring you back at any cost. So either come quietly, or I will be forced to bring you back with force. Itasuske came in. "Hey, buddy, she can do what she wants!"
"Foolish boy, you know not…." The man had seen Itasuske's eyes, and looked like he had seen a ghost. "I know not what? That you are a perv who wants to take a 16-year-old by force? You must be completely deranged if you think she would come quietly!" "Boy, you are asking for it!" the man, apparently named Kabuto, said. Kabuto, that name rang a bell, somehow. Then he remembered. Kabuto, the man who kicked him when his training had already exhausted him. Kabuto, the lapdog of his father. Kabuto, the ignoramus who would never leave him alone. Kabuto, Kabuto, Kabuto. It was all he could think of. Then he snapped back into reality, and saw him standing there, ripe for the beating of his life. But before he could land one blow, Kabuto had already hit him in the solo plexus, knocking the wind out of him. Kabuto then did the same to Nakita in the same instant, and collected her body.
He was about to leave, when Itasuske cried out, "KABUTO! WE HAVE A SCORE TO SETTLE!" Kabuto looked back, dropped Nakita on the ground carefully, and turned to Itasuske. "Ok, bring it, you little punk." Itasuske rushed toward him and was about to strike, when he noticed Kabuto making hand signs. He quickly got out of range, just as Kabuto said "Urani Temple (Feather Illusion) Jutsu!" Itasuske knew that Nakita would be out for awhile, but he could still fight. He rushed at Kabuto again, and this time made contact. Itasuske had hit Kabuto's leg with his kunai. Kabuto, sensing a opening, kicked Itasuske up into the air with his other leg. "Chakra Scalpel Jutsu!" and hit Itasuske in is midsection and his legs. "That should take care of you. Now I must leave." Kabuto collected Nakita, and started walking away.
Itasuske stared at Kabuto with a intense rage. Why wasn't he strong enough to even land a critical blow on that punk Kabuto? Then, that rage turned to focus, as he made the damaged chakra points on his body closed so that other ones could take their place. He got up again, and noticed something different, again. Everything seemed a bit slower, and he could tell what was going to happen before it did.
"KABUTO!" Itasuske yelled again. Kabuto looked back, flabbergasted that the boy could even stand, and to top it off, the boy had his Sharingan activated! "Looks like I underestimated him. A mistake I do not intend to make twice." Kabuto then rushed in to Itasuske, knowing what the boy would do in response, or so he thought.
He thought wrong.
Itasuske then switched his eyes over and saw Kabuto's chakra points. Dodging Kabuto's strikes, he quickly diminished Kabuto's chakra until he had none left. Itasuske then kicked Kabuto in the midsection, knocking the wind out of him. "Tell your master that he cannot have Nakita. Not now, not ever." Itasuske collected Nakita and went back to the cottage.
"Damn, that boy has developed himself well. I must tell Lord Orochimaru." With that, and much pain, he got up and went as fast as he could to Orochimaru.
As Nakita woke up. She smelled something good. She went into the eating area and said "What ya got cooking?" All Itasuske did was hand her a bowel. She looked at him slyly, "What is it?" "If it is good, who cares?" Itasuske said. She ate it, carefully, trying to discern what it was. She finished, and said "Ok, I'm stumped. It does taste good, but what in the world is it?" Itasuske had a small smile on his face. "Slug and Toad soup. I learned it from a kind lady whom I met on the road." Nakita paused, then exclaimed "SLUG AND TOAD?!?!?!? WHO IN THE WORLD COMBINES THOSE THINGS TO MAKE A SOUP?"
