Okay, so today my friend emailed me a review that we got from a very rude person. First of all, yes, we were trying something out, and yes, we are taking their advice, but I want to tell this person something. I will not hesitate to beat you with words if you give us a review like that again. I swear I will. Being rude gets you nowhere.
Now that that's done, let's get to this chapter, which features the girls, Ibiki and a whole heck of a lot of questions.
Disclaimer: WE own nothing but our crazy antics.
Chapter 4
Nashiki POV
Now if I really understood what it meant to be questioned to death, I never would have happily volunteered to do this. Ami and I were sitting at a steal table in uncomfortable chairs looking at a man who looked like a rogue batman. He had two scars on his face, one running diagonally down the bottom side of his right cheek and another on his left temple to his chin. His leaf band was secured around the top of his head and he wore a long coat. And dark clothes to match.
Ami was sitting calmly next me, but I had this issue where I couldn't sit still for the life of me. I mean seriously, it's like as soon as a minute passes I start to have to urge to run after butterflies. But I sat as still as I could.
"So. You two worked for Orochimaru." The man addressed us finally.
"Were made by him, never worked for." Ami corrected. He looked at her angrily.
"Well, however the circumstances were, we want to know where the hideout is." I laughed mentally. I never really knew. I mean we got here by running in one direction.
"Uh, we wouldn't exactly be able to tell you that." I told the man, fidgeting. "We just sort of run in a straight line."
"You have no idea where it is?" he asked, almost amazed.
"Yeah…" I dropped my head in embarrassment. I really should think things through.
"Well, what were his plans?" Ibiki asked us, taking the seat across from us.
"Well, he never told us, sir." My friend spoke up. "We're his experiments, not his generals." The man looked like he was about to pop a vein.
"You know nothing?" he asked, flabbergasted. "Are you kidding me? What good were you two to him?" he demanded.
"Well, you see, he was all about having us as experiments and then when we got strong I think he was going to use us, but it didn't get far. He kept hitting us." I spoke. I really didn't like this conversation. It just made my head hurt. "And he made us out of the best ninja he could get his hands on, unfortunately that means Sasuke Uchiha." I added. The man looked between the two of us and sighed. He wrote something down on a piece of paper.
"Whose DNA are you two." He asked now. I sighed.
"I am part Sasuke, part of a Hyuuga of unknown name." Ami replied. He looked up at me.
"Part Sasuke, part Naruto, all awesome." I replied with a grin. Ibiki shook his head, almost as if saying, 'How did I not know?' He continued to ask us various questions. How old were we, what did Orochimaru teach us, a question which took the majority of time.
"Why's the sky blue?" he asked suddenly. We stared at him.
"I believe it has to do with light reflecting off the ocean." Ami replied. "Why?" he looked up at her and shook his head.
"Why's the grass green?" now he was getting ridiculous.
"Because everything but the green in the color spectrum reflects off it." She answered again.
"Well, you're dismissed." He told us and stood up. I sighed and jumped up happily, joyful to be able to move around. Ami stood up slowly but smiled shyly at me. We entered the office we came in to check in to and were enveloped in a hug from behind.
"You guys are alive!" Naruto cheered and hugged us tightly I hugged him back just as viciously; a strange but delightful tingling passing through me; but Ami looked close to a tomato… Hm a tomato sounds good right now…
When he put us back on our feet we noticed Naruto hadn't left when he dropped us off. We could tell because he was still in his ramen smelling shirt and dusty jeans. I smiled.
"So, I thought since you guys are new, that we could go on a tour today." He told us with a smile, "And I'll be your tour guide." He said excitingly. I practically shook from over joy.
"Really?" I did a little victory dance in my head. Naruto was the family I never had and it made all the better to have him accept me, and I smiled.
"Yes really, but how about some ramen?" he suggested. It was around noon, so I didn't really blame him. Plus, it was ramen who could ever blame him. Ami blushed and nodded as I grinned widely.
"Sure, but you're buying!" I teased and he sighed.
When we arrived at the ramen stand we sat down and ordered, Ami sat on one side of Naruto and I sat on the other.
"So, nii-san, what's up?" I asked him happily.
"What do you mean?" he replied innocently. He snapped him chopsticks in half before holding them in his right hand.
"No fooling me, I'm part you." I told him seriously. "You aren't as happy as I remember from yesterday. Not to mention that I have your memories, so spill." I told him. Ami looked at me curiously.
"Fine, it's just, that you two are, experiments of Orochimaru, and you mentioned that you ran away, but wouldn't he send someone after you?" he asked us. I winced. I guess we forgot that one little detail.
"He did send someone." Ami answered. I cringed. This was going to get ugly. "He sent Sasuke after us. I fought him-"
"You what?" he shouted, looking at her incredibly. "You fought Sasuke Uchiha, and lived. Wow." He smiled. I laughed.
"What you thought I wouldn't be able to?" she replied, glaring at us. I shut up but Naruto was still smiling.
"No, it just seems strange to imagine you in my mind as you are, and you winning against him." He looked off into space and I laughed again.
"Naruto?" a small quiet voice came from the entrance to the ramen stand. I almost growled. The pink haired girl, Sakura I believe, was standing there. She was nervously standing looking between the three of us.
"Yes, Sakura-chan?" I almost felt the love that my nii-san had felt for the girl before. Now it was just friendship. She smiled sweetly and I might have seen the side of her that Naruto had seen.
"I was just making sure- I'm sorry, for having to take them to Tsunade." She apologized. I grinned, she wasn't so bad after all I guess.
"No trouble pinky." I assured and she looked at me. I felt the room chill a bit, her glare so icy. "I mean, Sakura." I laughed uneasily.
"Really, it was merely a scare for us." Ami fixed my mistake.
"Well then, I was just going to go…" the girl turned to leave and for some reason I couldn't help but jump up and stop her.
"Hey, join us." I urged her. I could feel Naruto and Ami staring at the back of my head. Then nii-san mustered up a voice.
"Yeah, c'mon take a seat, Sakura chan." He invited and the girl's eyes looked at all of us and she sighed.
"I can't stay long. Tsunade wanted to have a lesson today." The girl took a seat on the stool next to me and sighed.
"The Hokage? You're the student under the Hokage?" I asked bewildered and excited.
"Yeah." She replied, almost bored.
"Can I go to your lesson today?" I asked. I was sort of into medical jutsu, but I wanted to see the hokage at work.
"It's nothing exciting, she's probably just going to have me train today." The pinkette replied. I smiled.
"Even better!" I told her.
"I told you it wouldn't be very exciting." Sakura wiped sweat from her brow as eliminated another section of the training ground with one of her punches to the ground. I was watching, excited and scared at the same time.
"Not very exciting? This is awesome!" I shouted. The girl really didn't seem like someone who could live up Tsuande Sannin's power, but looks aren't everything. "Knock down another tree!" I encouraged. Sakura stared at me and sighed.
Unknown POV
I watched again as the mysterious girl cheered on the pink haired kunoichi as she yet again destroyed another dummy and requested her to upend a tree. The girl known as my former teammate clearly didn't rely on anyone anymore, and it hit me as I realized that my team wasn't who they were before. But they still wouldn't be enough to beat me.
The strange girl's voice reached my ears again. I really wasn't getting a good look at her; all I saw was her orange shirt and the blonde hair that was waving in the wind. But if Orochimaru wanted this girl brought to him, what does it bother me?
Finally making up my mind, and unsheathed my sword and jumped into the clearing, readying myself for a fight.
Nashiki POV
I heard the rustle of the leaves as someone moved quickly into the clearing. When I turned, bracing for an attack, my eyes met the appearance of Sasuke Uchiha, once again. He seemed to be very focused until his red and black eyes met my face. He frowned and looked at Sakura, who was shocked at his appearance, but still held her composure, ready to fight him. He opened his mouth and I was ready to hear something about his superior ability when I was sure my ears deceived me.
"Sakura, did Naruto get a sex change?" he asked the pinkette seriously. I stared at him and realized what he was seeing.
"No! My name is Nashiki!" I shouted at him. He looked at me again and shook his head.
"Did he get stuck in that stupid jutsu and get memory loss?" he asked Sakura, who was about as shocked as I was.
"No. Sasuke, I have no idea what you're getting at, but that girl came into the village with her friend, and she lives with Naruto." The girl told him, trying to decide whether to attack the boy while he was unguarded or try to help him understand. The boy blinked and looked at me again. I felt uneasy under his gaze and decided for the girl.
"Sharringan!" I activated the bloodline limit I inherited from the boy's DNA in front of me and he looked even more shocked then before. I didn't let him figure it out though. I started to perform hand signals before shouting "Kitsuhai!" my body started to grow more animalistic and my fingernails become more defined and sharp, and I could tell that my whisker marks were more defined. I growled at the boy while he stared, almost shocked, but I could tell that not much surprised him anymore.
I jolted forward and prepared to latch onto his arm and throw him, but he sidestepped and dodged, regaining his posture.
"What are you?" he asked, angrily and frustrated. I jolted again, reaching my mark this time, and grabbed his arm, but froze at the feeling that flowed through my arm and up to my neck.
"What are you?" a frustrated and battle worn; not to mention younger; Sasuke stood on a water surface, bracing his feet as a Naruto who was radiating power stood in the middle of the lake not too far from him. The blonde had his hand bared is front of his face, his nails sharp and long.
"I'm your friend." The boy growled. Then Sasuke had a sudden revelation.
"Ugh." I clutched my head as the memory faded from my mind. My claws shrunk and my body started to lose energy rapidly. Sasuke was also holding hand to his head and his eyes were closed with pain. Then he asked again.
"What are you?" he demanded, looking at me angrily. Then I felt my energy return and I stood to face him.
"Nashiki." I replied before he growled and drew his sword towards me. I curled my lip as he brought to sword towards me, pointing at my throat. I glared.
"Nashiki!" I Heard Naruto run into the clearing. Ami was following him. "Sasuke?" The blonde seemed to be shocked at his rival's appearance. Sasuke took one look at Ami and started inch away from both of us. I almost laughed out loud.
"You're scared of Ami!" I accused and the boy scowled at me. Then when he tried to run I jumped and tackled him to the ground. With my hand on the back of his neck, we both felt the strange sensation. I left go of his neck and he tried to shove me off him. I pressed my knee harder into his back and he grunted. Sakura ran over and tried to tie his hands and the boy pushed me off him and attacked the girl. She dodged back and he missed, giving Naruto a chance to lurch forth and land a punch to the boy's jaw, and Ami stuck a foot out to trip him on his way down after I shoved him from the front.
"Give up Uchiha. The element of surprise is fool proof." Told him and I he relaxed his wrists as Sakura bound them. "You just happened to get caught off guard."
So that's what you get. Miku should get the next chapter as soon as she gets this. Please review, flames are used to heat my home.
