5:00 am

maru p.o.v

"YAAAAAWWWN"

"just a few more minutes" she said while rolling out of her bed *thud* "ooooooowwww".

That was a good breakfast time to head out, hmm i wonder what the hokage was so worried about she had to send an ashisu ranked ninja on a c ranked mission...OH Ya that reminds me she said she told kakashi but she never said she told there team, they might be surprised when i get there.

(okay i know i am kinda skipping threw time here but im too lazy not to so bare with me)

finally i'm here oh that must be the team but i can't really see them all that well.

naruto p.o.v

for the first time in forever kakashi is here on time but he says we have to wait here for someone that will be coming with us and tazunas not here either

"oh look shes finally here" said kakashi.

"did you just say she, the person coming with us is a girl"

"and she your age to"

"if shes are age how can she protect us better?!"

"she is an ashisu"

"AN ASHISU AND SHES ARE AGE"

"yep"

the girl arrived and i remembered her right away it was maru the girl me and sakura met last night.

"hello i'm kakashi the boy over there is sasuke, the hyperactive blonde is naruto and the girl clinging to sasuke is sakura"

"nice to meet you im-" me and sakura cut her off

"MARU"

"your the girl that ignored me"

"and i met you last night"

"oh yes i remember" she said in monotone.

"oh i see you've met before,look tazunas here we should start walking now"

and we all started walking the whole time maru walked behind us all she never once said a word i just bugged sakura and sasuke, when sasuke slowed down to walk beside maru but as soon as he was about to speak she stopped in front of a puddle and looked to kakashi and he nodded and then she kept walking, what was kakashi nodding to her about. she looked at sasuke then looked ahead again then he started speaking.

"how old are you"

"13"

and then they didn't talk anymore they just walked beside each other.

i swear i could hear something following us so i threw a kunai in the bushes but it turned out to be a white bunny.

kakashi p.o.v

a white bunny in the summer that means it was raised indoors and for the soul purpose as being used as a spying jutsu.

"SASUKE DUCK" but i wasn't fast enough and the kunai was about to hut him when maru was standing in front of him with her kunai out it had blocked the other one.

"are you okay"she asked sasuke.

"ya i'm fine"

"there should be more coming so get around tazuna" she said to everyone, they all listened and did as she said i went by her side and waited when 2 guys came out of the trees and started attacking us maru was quick and swung one guy into the tree as did i then we tied them up with there own chain.

Later at the camp site nobodys p.o.v

so it turns out rouge ninja from the village hidden in the mist are out to get tazuna and tazuna lied and this is actually a b ranked mission looks like the hokage was right.

"WOW. maru your really good at fighting" naruto said

"ya have you done this before?" sakura added

"no"

"yaaaaawn"

"would you like to go to bed i will stay guard all night for you"

"that would be nice of you since i need my sleep and sakura wouldn't be friendly in the morning, naruto wouldn't last five minutes and i would feel bad making sasuke do it so"

"hey i would be able to stay up believe it"

"okay its settled maru will stay watch all night for us"

"fine kakashi u win but next time i will stay watch".

when everyone was asleep maru sat on a rock and stared at the stars when she could sense another person.

"couldn't sleep sasuke"

"no"

"go back to sleep"

"i have some questions first"

"okay"

but before he could ask his question he was pushed to the ground and maru was standing in front of him and a man was standing in front of her he was pale and he had long black hair "who are you" maru said "i'm orochimaru"

"stay back sasuke, what do u what do you want"

"i'll be back"

and then he was gone "are you okay sasuke" he nodded then his eyes widened when she turned to face him there was blood coming out of her mouth and a kunai sticking out of her stomach.

"maru!"

"i'm fine" she said while pulling the kunai out of her stomach.

"just go wake the others up i want to get this mission over with as soon as possible"
