Chapter 4: Hidden

The two shadow figures hidden in the background watched as both the girls walked into the housing complex and disappeared out of sight. They stood there hunched behind the trees waiting and making sure no one in the village has picked on their presence before walking out into the public view.

"You don't think…" one man started to say "NO, they didn't she would have but that girl saved our asses real good." He said with a deviant smirk across his face.

"I don't get it why are they such a threat to 'us'?" the sound of confusion and interests was in his voice when asking the question.

"Because we men are the foundation on which they build their clan upon, without us they are nothing but without them we are in danger…" he wasn't sure how to finish off that sentence so he pondered a bit before getting side track by a shadow moving along a wall near the housing complex.

"Do you see that?" he asked. "See what, I don't know wha… oh you mean that shadow figure? Yeah I've been eyeing it for quite some time now; I just didn't think it was something to worry about just yet."

He said as if seeing a shadow crawling across the building was like a couple walking through the park, nothing out the ordinary for him but the other guy thought differently. "Let's go check it out and see…" "No need to, he's on our side, that's Mark, remember he is in our investigation group and with him here we can go get some food it's on me."

Calm and collected he sounded he gestured his partner to the nearest food stand before it closes. "…fine" he sighed before heading over to the stand.

Meanwhile the hokage was pacing back and forth in her quarters trying to think of a plan to make sure everyone in the village is safe from the new comer that has blessed them with a nice dead ninja at their doors.

"That damn child…..I swear!" talking to herself as she paced wasn't doing much good but she sure doesn't know what to expect or even do with the position that she is put in at the moment. Before she could even finish her thought process she heard a knock coming from the door.

"Doozo!" she yelled and the cloaked ANBU ninja entered the room he bowed and began to speak "I'm sorry to have disturbed, but I must report that we have another intrusion into our village."

She turned to face him but decided to walk back to her desk and sit down. "If you are talking about a girl that you have seen with her then no need to fear she is with..." "I don't mean her; I was talking about these two stranger people who have been following her since she came into our village." She gave him an intent look, it was a mix of serious but also a hint of fear in her eyes

"Two strangers?... What village are they from or are they like them?" he looked up wondering what she had meant by "them" but put that thought into the back of his head for a second and said "I wasn't able to make them out but I didn't want to make a scene either since they were near civilians they were trying to make sure no one would stop them."

She stood up from her seat and walked over to him noting for him to stand with her hands, she looked him dead the eyes searching for something before she even dare to speak.

"I want you to watch them as carefully as possible, DO NOT GET CAUGHT, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM IN ANY FIGHT UNLESS NECESSARY AND DO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW THAT THEY ARE HERE. Do I make myself clear and if anything is to happen you must report to me with whatever you have learned. Understood?"

He straightened himself up and put both of his hands behind his back and shouted, "HAI, Understood!" and with that said he disappeared in a poof of smoke. "I swear those girls cause more harm than good, what am I to do now and the Kazekage while be here in two days nonetheless…this day just keep getting better and better doesn't it?"

She walked back to her desk took her seat and emerge herself in all the paper work that didn't even looked liked it moved since her new helper(s) had appeared.
