C2, The New Mist Mission
"Talking."
'Thought.'
XX
Sasuke and Kiba were just now waking up from their fight with Haku, the girl had been tougher than they thought she would be.
Both of them had woken up just in time to see the fight between Goto's rogue army of samurai and the two mist ninja and someone else who could not be much older than they were.
Both of them were now being tended to by Hinata Hyuga, Sasuke how had his Sharingan active so he could learned all of their Jutsu's from this fight.
But was not working at all and he could see it, he could not copy the new strange girls Nin-Jutsu's at all and watched with envy as she cut down these men, 'this power should be mine, with that I could kill him once and for all.'
By the time the battle was all over both Sasuke and Kiba were now ready to fight again if need be, it was at this time that he got a good look at strange girls face.
She had medium length blonde hair and a single ponytail coming from the back of her head, her cheeks had three whisker's like marks on them and she could not be much older than they were.
He then saw his sensei and teammate Karin arrived at her run at her, she quickly perform a backflip over them and landed ready for combat.
The girl turned her head and looked at them and then said, "I see you brought some friends?"
"My Genin squad, you have to come back with us. You can't win this war Naruko."
"You betting on that, because you should've brought more friends to take me down, because I'm not going back there any time soon."
Right at this time she put her hands into what looked like a Nin-jutsu sign, she smiled at them as her body glowed with symbols that Kakashi recognized immediately, "No, no, no! She's got gravity seals on her, Sasuke, Kiba take her down now, Karin with me now we have to stop her."
Kurenai was in shock at what was going on, 'It just can't be? It can't be Kushina's missing daughter, it just can't be?'
Shino and Hinata looked to their sensei for instructions, "You three, stay with the client that's an order... They can handle this, they have to. '
Kiba and his Nin-dog partner Akamaru were the first to attack her in this squad formation, he threw a punch to her left wall Akamaru came in from the right.
She quickly ducked to avoid them both, and then without warning to them she performed a flying roundhouse kick to Kiba that sent him flying to the other side of the bridge with one hit, when she hit the ground she performed an uppercut to the little puppy, he then hit the bridge so hard that he was out cold.
To both Kakashi and Karin she was nothing more than a blur to them, even Sasuke was having a hard time keeping up with her, even with his Sharingan active she was still a blur.
Thanks to Sasuke's Sharingan he was able to stay in this fight with her much longer then Kiba was able to.
Sasuke and pulled out one of his combat knives and was now fighting her what looked like the death, Kakashi used this as a opportunity to strike, unlike his student who looked like he was aiming for a kill. He was aiming to knock her out.
She managed to hit Sasuke in the face just hard enough to put him on his back, but not out of the fight.
She then managed to sidestep Kakashi in the nick of time, if it had connected she would've been on her ass, and backing their control.
Sasuke was now back on his feet and running at her like he had the devil on his tail, the movements of his knife had become more deadly, but he was missing a lot. He had skill, but not the experience to go with it.
She managed to dodge him again and get some distance between them, she then flicked her wrists revealing both of her hidden blades, a gift from her assassin sensei's.
Kakashi saw the weapons come out and was now concerned for one of his star pupils, 'Damn it Sasuke, now she's probably going to kill you. Now have to bring her back and save your life, nice going.'
Both Kakashi and Karin were now in a race against time to save the last Uchiha from being killed by the lost air of the Uzumaki clan.
Sasuke made a swing with his knife to hit her throat, but without warning to him she put one of her blades into his shoulder and made a move with her other hand to cut his throat.
But before the blade could touch his throat she retracted the blade back into its holder on her arm as her fist hit home right up side his face.
She pulled the blade out of his shoulder as he fell to the ground screaming out in pain from his injuries, Kakashi could tell that she was not trying to kill him but just wanted to disable him.
Kakashi stopped to to tend to his student, but Karin continued on her attack. She'd been waiting for this kind of opportunity to present itself for years and she was not going to pass it up at all.
Her attacks were much more accurate when fighting her sister then Sasuke had been, the two danced their deadly arts, until Naruko got a lucky hit in and ran for it.
She picked up both her straw hat and battle cloak while running for it both Zabuza and Hake were now running alongside her.
"Did you have fun V?" He asked her.
"That was not my idea of fun sensei, we have to get back to the village, Mei wants to see you for something. What I do not know?"

It had not been a good day for Kakashi at all, Sasuke was in no condition to fight anyone at the moment, add onto that, that Kiba and his dog Akamaru were still out cold.
It was at this time that Kakashi felt like someone's eyes were upon him, he looked up and came face to face with Kurenai staring into his very soul.
'Not good.'
"What the hell was that Kakashi? She helped save our ass's back there. Just so you two can just go off to attack her and for what may I ask?"
"You know as well as I do what she contains, she is vital for the defense of the village. And also her mother told me if I had a chance I was to bring her back." He said to her.
"And do you really think that she's going to come back of her own free will now?"
"It does not matter Kurenai, she has to come back one way or another. And we both know that."
"All right, I'll play along. But I do have one question?"
He nodded to this and said, "All right what is it?"
"Like why she's saying that you three try to kill her?"
XX
The hidden Mist village was no longer a war-torn place, it was now a village of peace and hope all thanks to the resistance.
The Kage tower of the village was now the site of our heroes, Zabuza and Haku were shocked to see the village like this.
Many of the civilians and ninja were coming up to them and asking for their autographs.
"It's like where rock stars or something?" Haku said.
"In a way we are, after all Zabuza here was one of the first to fight back after all, and here we are." She said to them as they approached the Mizukage's office door.
Naruko walked up to the secretary and asked, "Is Mei in?"
"Yes she is, go right in."
The three of them walked into Mei's office as she looked up from the evil that was known as "Paperwork".
"I see the mission was a success Naruko, so what happened out there?"
"Well, Goto's dead for one and I had a run-in with my old village... Including two of them Mei!"
The smile that had been on Mei's face was now gone, she remembered when she had met both Sasori and Naruko at the beginning of water countries Civil War.
That had been six years ago for her, and Naruko had proven herself as one of the best ninja in the world for the resistance and a name for herself. They now just called her, The Vixen. Or just V.
Flashback
Zabuza was in shock, his plan to kill the Mizukage had failed. He was now out of options a new a civil war was inevitable at this point. He also had to consider what to do with his apprentice Haku and her training.
It did not help that his best friend Mei, a bloodline user herself was giving him one of those looks, "what are you doing?"
"You know I can't stay if they find me... They find all of you, I have to go. I have to do this." He said to her.
She looked away from him and walked to the end of the room her arms folded, she then turned her head to look at him and said, "All right Zabuza will your play way for now but I'm to start fighting here. Who knows, we might just win and you can take out his help that are outside this village?"
He smiled at her and said, "Sounds like a plan to me... I'll start hunting down the outside murderers, you take care of the monster was once a good man to us."
As they both walked down the came upon a rather unique scene, there before them was a man hunched over wearing battle cloak with red clouds on it and a straw hat with a young girl no older than his apprentice Haku who just walked up to him.
The strange man he introduced himself, "hello, my name is Sasori of the red sand and this is my apprentice Naruko Uzumaki. From what I hear you need help with this resistance?"
Mei and Zabuza were shocked, here was case and ninja offering to help them and a S-class criminal at that.
"Why would you help us, we know all about you... Killer." Mei said to him ready to fight at a moments notice.
"We mean you no harm. I'm part of a special group of ninja sent out to keep an eye on a criminal organization known as the Akatsuki which look in a way like me. As the group I belong to our sent out to infiltrate this organization... Do you know why they exist?"
They both nodded no to this.
"They exist to capture the vessels of the tailed beasts like your Mizukage for one. As well as my apprentice behind me. I will not allow this to happen I can even tell you who's responsible for this madness in your country."
This got Mei's attention right away, "who is this possible for all this? Who would want to kill so many of the innocence this country?"
"We don't know his given name right now, but we do know his clan one."
"And that is?"
"Uchiha... And very old one at that, who should be dead. Kisame confirmed it for us. Your Mizukage is nothing more than a puppet right now to him."
"Kisame? He's the insider from Mist village. Who would've thought." Zabuza said to himself.
Sasori look into Mei's eyes and asked, "I need your help to train my apprentice. I'm sure she can you help in this war, we all know what's coming. Teach her the art of the blade... This is something I cannot do, but you all can."
Mei nodded to this and said, "all right, this works for me... Are you all right with this Naruko?"
"Works for me... Sensei, how long will you be gone this time?"
Sasori looked into her eyes as he said, "not for very long little one, when I come back I'll help both them and you out in your training... You be good now."
"Yes sensei."
He gave her a nod and then walked away back into the forest of water country, despite how much he hated the Akatsuki for what they were doing to the world. He had his own job to that hopefully one day would bring them down, once and for all.
Mei turned to Naruko and asked, "So which one do you have in you?"
"Mr. nine, the nine tailed Fox is in me. So where do I start my training?"
She smiled at this, "Go right over to that man right over there and he'll help you with your training Naruko."
"Thank you Ms. Mei."
As Naruko ran to one of her new teachers Zabuza was now standing right beside her and said, "you know if she fights for us she can use her real name, it would just bring her old home village here looking for. And you know who they will side with?"
Mei was concerned for her new friend, "What if she had a new name? What if it was a title that fit her like a glove, something that can become feared by her enemies... And hope to her friends and allies at the same time."
"What you got in mind old friend." He inquired.
"She has Fox in her right?"
"Yes!"
"Then how about... The Vixen."
Flashback end
Mei was not very happy about hearing this but she could deal with it, "We all knew this wouldn't last forever Naruko... And I'm afraid there is more bad news."
"The kind that means?"
"It's about Orohimaru and his new village, he's done something to the Sand village's Kage and is going to attack the hidden leaf Village... Plus he wants to get your sister and the last Uchiha as his possible new bodies."
Naruko had to restrain herself from attacking anything that moved. When she was at peace like this it was hard to sometimes control her anger. And the snake and her family were the two things that could make her lose her cool. But in combat she learned to control, it keep you alive... It was one of both Sasori and Zabuza's first lesson to her.
"And I can't go to get them... Son of a bitch!"
"Maybe not?" Mei said.
"What do you have in mind my old friend?" She asked.
"It's about time that the Mist village was known in the world again... And it just so happens that Konoha will host the next Chunin Exan Naruko. And if you go as a Mist ninja... They can't do anything to you until it's over. And we know Orohimaru will attack the village at the finals of the exams."
Naruko smiled at this and said, "I'm going to need a team to enter the exams. And who knows I might just become a chunin out of this to?"
Mei turned to Zabuza, "Naruko and Haku are on your squad. And I think I have the third member of your team."
She then pushed the intercom on her desk, "please send them in"
"Yes sir."
At this point a young man with two swords on his back walked in with a set of puppets right beside him.
Naruko gave them a smile as she picked one of the puppets up, "It's good to see you again guys, Chojuru how are you doing... You took care of my little friends right?"
Chojuru nodded very fast at this, the last thing he wanted to see was either Mei or Naruko doing their righteous female powers on him.
The puppet she was holding had a hook for one hand and a switch blade for a another, he had on a black trench coat in a black hat... His name was, Blade.
He was one of a set of living puppets created by a legendary puppetmaster, both Sasori and Naruko were now the keepers of his secrets. And the puppets were her good friends. As well as Mei's.
She looks down at them and said, "it looks like were about to get even with the snake you guys...
It's time to pull out all the stops. Mei I need my shop opened up. It's time to get started on my new puppets. And for the showdown in the leaf. Looks like I see you again old man."
End of C2
(A/N: I will be making some of the Akatsuki as sort of undercover agents, I will reveal more as the story unfolds. Plus I want to bring in more things to define Naruko's personality. Now onto some of her skills, she will be very good at hand-to-hand combat and it's Jutsu's as well as her puppets Jutsu's. As well as any Jutsu's with her swords, she will however not have any Genjutsu abilities but she will be able to dispel any Genjutst used against her. And her medical-Jutst will be at a field medics level. She will be with predominantly a all range combat. And she can do the shadow clone Jutsu.)
