Disclaimer, i own nothing of Naruto, only Miyuki, and Jigoku.
"That mission? No way." Naruto said.
Right now, the four stood in front of Tsunade and Iruka, getting mission, and of course, this one didn't suit Naruto.
"Excuse me? What kind of response is that?" Tsunade spoke. "I thought someone would have trained you better in manners…"
Why did Miyuki think that Tsunade's 'someone' was her…
"Gah. Naruto, you haven't mentally matured have you?" Iruka spoke.
Sakura put Naruto in a head lock, "Sorry sensei! I'll sort him out!"
"The Third was more sensible." Naruto muttered, making Sakura tighten her grip.
"Lady Tsunade!" A woman shouted, making everyone look back, "The Sand's Kazekage has been taken back an organization called Akatsuki! We just received the message!"
Tsunade thought for a moment, "Right. Team Kakashi, I will tell you your mission now. You are to immediately go to Suna find out the situation and report it to Konoha, after that, follow the orders of sand and back them up!" Tsunade ordered.
They nodded and Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura walked out. Miyuki stayed. "Tsunade-sama…"
Tsunade looked up, "I know what you're here for Miyuki. I will let you rejoin the ANBU after you complete this mission. I have a feeling your newfound abilities will be needed." Tsunade spoke to her.
Miyuki nodded then bowed, leaving the office.
Weak girl. You should have demanded to be put on ANBU now.
'Hush Jigoku, in time.' she thought. As much as she wanted too, she had to wait..
They had rushed to Suna. Three day's it had taken, through the scorching sand, to reach Suna. They had found Temari on the way there and she traveled with them. The news of her brother being taken by the Akatsuki shocked and scared her, and even she was pushing herself.
Miyuki had been surprise by the fact that Sakura had researched into Orochimaru, and that if they got closer to the Akatsuki, the closer they could get to getting to Sasuke. She looked forward, that vile man…
The arrived at the gates of Suna, to met one of the sentry's, she was taken back, "Temari-san was with you? We've been waiting, please come with us!" She spoke, running into the village as they followed.
"What's going on now?" Temari asked.
"The Kazekage was abducted, after that Kankuro pursed them but he was wounded."
"What? They got Kankuro too?"
"Yes, and he was caught by the enemy's poison, and we have no way to neutralize it. At this rate, he only has a half a day at the most.."
Temari was taken back, "Shit.."
"Let's hurry Temari-san, I'll examine him." Sakura said, determination in her voice.
Miyuki smirked a bit, 'Of course, she's trained with Tsunade-sama.' she thought as they ran into the medical room. "Kankuro!" Temari shouted, as Sakura ran with her.
Miyuki, Kakashi and Naruto stayed in the back, waiting…
"The White Fang of Konoha.." An old woman spoke, looking at Kakashi.
Kakashi was taken back, "Oh! No, no, I'm not-"
"Silence! I'll take my revenge for what you did to my son!" She screamed, rushing at Kakashi.
Naruto made a clone of himself, both of them catching the punch and kick, pushing her back, 'This old hag… she's good.' he thought, before staring at her, "Why are you attacking Kakashi-sensei? You wrinkled old hag!"
She rushed forward, too quick for Naruto, and Miyuki was instantly in front of him and raised her right arm, black chakra swirling around her own arm and taking the form of scales… the old woman's kick landed on the arm, and Miyuki pushed back, and the old woman gained her footing.
Before she could attack again, the elder man held his hand up, "Look carefully sis. There's a strong resemblance, but that's not the White Fang. Remember? He died a long time ago, and you wept with frustration because you could not get revenge for your son."
She took a closer look, before laughing, "I see!"
Kakashi relaxed, as Miyuki let the chakra disappear and her shoulders slacked in the fact of how blind the woman was..
"Please, I need everyone to move from the room, it'll make it easier." Sakura spoke.
"uh, right!" Naruto spoke, walking out, followed by Miyuki, Kakashi and the two elders who were Chiyo and Ebizu. They sat outside the room, watching Sakura, and Miyuki smiled at how much she had grown..
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, looking over to Kakashi as he read his book, "Who's this White Fang?"
"Oh, how to explain it.." Kakashi spoke, closing his book, Miyuki glance to him before looking down, it was still a hard subject for him… "Well, to put in in one word, he was… my father."
Ebizu looked over, "So that's why there's such a strong resemblance." He spoke.
Miyuki looked over to Kakashi, before looking down, 'It's still hard…' she looked up as Sakura had extracted the poison from Kankuro. 'Sakura's really grown as well…' she thought as everyone else got up and went into the room. 'Both of them are growing up before my own eyes…'
You're too soft. Jigoku hissed, Pathetic girl, you're going to let children surpass you.
She closed her eyes, before walking in, watching Sakura leave to make more antidotes.
"Great! Once Sakura's done, we'll leave!" Naruto spoke, pulling his bag on, ready to go.
Miyuki sighed, "Naruto-kun, do you even know where we're going to go?"
He hung his head, "No Miyu-sensei."
Kakashi looked over to Baki, "Actually, there is something I'd like to ask, what came of the pursuit of the Akatsuki after that?"
Baki looked down, "Kankuro went alone, there were no others."
Kakashi paused, "then we have completely lost them."
"Yes we have."
"Then could you take me to where Kankuro-kun was fighting?" Kakashi asked, "though I may not seem like it, I have a nose for tracking, even if there was a small amount of their scent is left behind."
"That's not necessary." Kankuro spoke, "There are two enemy's, the one that abducted Gaara you should follow Gaara's scent. Even assuming that they split up, the other I caught a bit of his clothing on Karasu's hand."
Miyuki went over to the broken puppet, unclenching the puppets hand, seeing a piece of black cloth, "Fighting while going down, you truly are a Suna Shinobi Kankuro-kun." Miyuki spoke, standing up and showing the cloth to Kakashi.
"Kankuro. Are you sure you said that one of the enemy is Sasori?" Chiyo said.
Kankuro was taken back, "Chiyo-baasama, Ebizu-jiisama.."
"Answer Kankuro." Ebizu said.
"Yeah, Sasori of the Red Sand, he said it himself."
Kakashi looked at Miyuki, and she nodded, walking out, him following her. He quickly summoned his dogs and Miyuki knelt down, letting the dogs smell the cloth she still held. "Search for this scent, when you find it, report back immediately." Kakashi said to the dogs.
"Right." Pakkun spoke, before the dogs took one last sniff and then jumped away.
Miyuki stood up, holding her free hand up, "Ryu Sutairu; Ryu Wo Shoushuu Surukoto*." She whispered, as small black dragon appeared on the palm of her hand. It hissed a bit, it's red eyes scanning the room. "Enough Jigoku." She hissed at him, already known what was going on with him. "Listen." She said as she held the cloth up, and Jigoku leaned over, sniffing at it, "Fly over and help Kakashi's dogs. If you find the hideout, let me know, and stay there, clearly hide yourself but be able to keep an eye on the hideout. Understand?"
Jigoku nodded, and flapped it's wings before lifting itself from her palm and gliding out the window, flying out.
Kakashi looked at her, "I see, that's a pretty interesting trick you learned."
She smirked, "You haven't seen half of it." she spoke, pulling her cloth up, and did hand signs, "Ryu Sutairu; Ryu Me." She whispered, and her eyes turned completely red. Miyuki could see the endless desert Jigoku flew over, there was nothing unusual.. She closed her eyes, pulling the cloth back down and open her eye, it was normal, "Nothing unusual where Jigoku is going." she muttered to the Copy Cat.
Kakashi nodded, "So if Jigoku finds the hideout, we'll know what we need to look for, visual wise. Very impressive."
"'The greatest tool is knowing what you need, both visually and physically.'" Miyuki quoted, "My father drilled that into Sano's head. So I drilled it in my own." She spoke, now getting her bag on.
Kakashi nodded, and as Sakura came and gave Kankuro an antidote, they went outside to leave. One of the Suna Shinobi came out, "If you wait a bit longer, we can have a skilled Shinobi accompany you from Suna."
"Really.." Kakashi began
"I'm going!" Temari spoke, coming up to the group
"Temari." Chiyo spoke, from atop a building, "Stay here and work on the defense of our borders. From the Shinobi of Suna, I will go."
"But Chiyo-baasama!" Temari spoke,
"That would be too much for you.." Baki added.
"Don't treat me like an old woman!" She said as she jumped off the building, making Naruto and Sakura freak out. She landed on the ground on her feet, "I've wanted to give my cute grandson some love for a while now."
Found it.
Miyuki turned and pulled her cloth up, doing hand signs, "Ryu Sutairu; Ryu Me." She whispered, and saw exactly what Jigoku was staring at. "Kakashi. I found out what we should be looking for." She said, not breaking her jutsu, and getting everyone's attention.
"Go on." Kakashi spoke, figuring she couldn't see his nod.
"The entrance to the Akatsuki, it's on a river, there's a red gate, and… there's something on the boulder… Jigoku's too far away to find out what it exactly is, but, it's probably a seal of some sorts…" She paused, "It's within a cliff.." she finished before closing her eyes, breaking the jutsu and pulled the cloth down, looking back at the group. "Now we have our heading. Pakkun's given you your information as well?" She directed to Kakashi.
"Yeah, we're heading towards the river country that's between Konoha and Suna." He said before looking at the other two, "Let's go." he spoke as the group nodded and they all took off.
