The next few days crept by slowly for Uzu since she was blind the entire time, however at the begining of the fourth day, which was actually a week sinse Kakashi had been hospitalised, Sauske had been released the same day as Kakashi, two days ago, a little fact that irritated the hell out of Uzu but whatever she could see again and was back on active duty. Their first mission as a functioning group was an esscourt mission to the land of waves.
Which was perfect because she was dying to do something from her week of inactivity. She had'nt been wrong about the Anbu, she had only been wrong about when they would get there since all of them but one had'nt shown the common sense to sheild their eyes, and had spent a good six hours, running around the mountain bumping into things. And yelling "Marko, Polo!" back and forth in an effort to find their team mates.
Their client was a jackass, and a drunk. Tazuna had all the makings to be a serial killers wet dream. He was loud, abnoxious, he smelled iffy, and he was a jerk. The first thing out of his mouth when he had looked at her had been, "You dont look like much, but whatever. Come here and give daddy a kiss." Sauske had quickly put some space between himself and Uzu in fear of her beating the shit out of him again. Sakura had snickered.
And Kakashi had watched her curiously to see what she would do. It was the third Hokage who had stepped in and knocked the man down a few pegs.
"Mr. Tazuna, kindly apoligize to the Princess, and keep your comments to yourself from now on. Uzu is royalty by birthright and pedigree, she has the power, and influence to make your life a living hell, and I'm not too apposed to helping her if she wants to do so. Further more if I ever hear you say anything but respectful words I'll throw you in prison and have you killed for your slander of her good name." Sarutobi said cheerfully while Tazuna and everyone else in the room looked at her, and then the smileing Hokage. Their thoughts something along the lines of,
What the hell is going on here?
Uzu had merely laughed the situation off and told Tazuna not to pay attention to the third Hokage, and had even punched the Hokage in the face when he had started to say something else. Her exact reaction when she looked down to see the Hokage on the floor bleeding had been one of total innocence as Iruka fainted in his seat.
"Saru, oh my god, what happened to you? Are you alright?" She had then grabbed him by the head and started dragging the man from the room muttering,
"Must hide the dead body." Making everyone in the room more than a little nervous when she had stopped just outside the door and said,
"You all look so pretty today." And smiled then dragged the old man down the hall way, as everyone turned to Kakashi and all but yelled,
"What the fuck was that about?'' And the ever famous, "Is she insane?"
Kakashi was'nt sure what to tell them, because he really didn't know himself. So he just laughed nervously while his eye twitched madly under his eye lid. The damn girl was going to be the death of him, he just knew it!
The trip outside the village had the kids tied up in knots. Kakashi and Tazuna watched in amusment as two of the three look at everything, and answered their questions about the plant life, and animal life that they didn't get to see every day. Uzu was the only one who didn't seem to care about the pretty flowers, or the cute bunnies that were grazing a little ways ahead of them.
She had her nose stuck in a note book, and appeared to be writing something down before closing it and putting it away. What she had expected to find earlier was right up ahead. It was'nt anything special, just a mud puddle that she was going to use to lure the two out in the woods into a trap. She saw Kakashi glance down at the puddle and then look back ahead, his eye met and locked with hers, before she stuck her tongue out at him in a childish display and then turned and started to make the hand signs to freeze things in mid air just as a couple of chains shot out of the puddle and wrapped around Kakashi's body, and the two men appeared as what looked like pieces of Kakashi rained down in the place where he had stood only moments ago.
Sakura screamed in horror. Sauske paled. Tazuna.....pissed his pants, well whatever. "One piggy." One of the men said as he charged her, she smiled at him and vanished as soon as he reached the place where she had been standing, he looked around for a minute to see if he could find her but she had already slit his throat before he coudl react to her standing behind him.
His friend snarled and charged her, probably thinking he could avenge his fallen friend, as she evtended her hand and let her chakra blast him with icey cold winds, that turned his weapons to ice, and fell away from him along with the arm the shit had been on. The man screamed and moved toward Sakura and Tazuna, as she shunshined in front of them to stop him, Kakashi caught him around the neck with his arm, and snapped his neck as he stared at her.
She could see a thousand questions swirling in his one eye. But instead of saying anything she just smiled at him and walked away, to deal with the small nick the first one's claws had left behind.
