if i owned this would i bother to write a fan fiction?
Chapter four
Mayumi stared at the man in front of her. He had been peeking into the women's bathhouse and giggling to himself.
This must be one of those perverts that Chiasa told me about! Thought Mayumi. "Oi! Ladies in the bath! You're being peeked on!" she yelled.
The man whirled around and glared at her. "How can you see me?" he hissed as a rumble from the bathhouses signalled a horde of well endowed angry women coming nearer. Because of her dojutsu Mayumi could see that Tobi and Sasuke were just behind them.
"Just luck I guess?" she asked "I'm Mayumi. Who are you?"
"I am the great Jiraiya of the sannin! The greatest sage in the land!" the man said, removing the jutsu he had been using to hide.
Mayumi sweat dropped. "And the biggest pervert." She then felt the pervert's stare grow heavy on her.
"Are you aware that you have memory seals on you?" he asked.
Mayumi stumbled back, the shock of what he said deactivating her dojutsu and plunging her into darkness. "W-w-what?"
Tobi jumped from the rooftop and landed beside Mayumi. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"
"Tobi?" Mayumi asked
He nodded as she grasped his hand and they leapt off. Running along the sun warmed roofs they reached the point where Sasuke would meet them. The irate emo was already there chucking a tomato in the air with one hand and threw it at Mayumi. He watched in surprise as she didn't react but instead Tobi gave her a nudge and she flicked in behind him, letting the tomato sail past.
"Now play nice the pair of you." Said Tobi. "We're going back to the weapons shop, getting our weapons and going."
The threesome walked back to the weapons shop, this time Tobi ushering them inside. It was a small but high quality weapons shop. Weapons gleamed from all corners of the room and a short rotund man sat in a chair by the counter.
"So these are your brats Tobi?" he rumbled "took you long enough to get them." he heaved himself out of the chair and lumbered over to greet them.
"There was a complication. Anyhow, this Sasuke and Mayumi. My new kiddies. Like em?"
Haro looked them both up and down, scratching his belly. "Hoi, are you two related?"
Sasuke scowled. "What makes you say that?"
"Let's see pale skin, midnight black hair- granted the girls is a little on the purple side, bodies built for speed and agility..." he then lumbered to the counter and grabbed something from behind it. "Hold onto this here card and channel some chakra into it." He said holding out a piece of card to Sasuke.
Sasuke did so watching as three quarters of it turned to ash and the other quarter wrinkled. He looked at the store keeper in confusion, wondering what had just taken place.
"So, your primary element is fire and your secondary element is lightning..." said Haro as he turned to Mayumi. "Your turn."
Mayumi slowly reached out for the card, Sasuke noticing her hand being guided by discreet nudges from Tobi. She pushed some chakra into it, following Sasuke's example. Her result was that three quarters of the paper turned to ash and the last quarter cut itself up.
Haro stood a little straighter in surprise. "Fire for your primary and wind for your secondary?" there was something suddenly very interesting in his ear. "Now that's an interesting combination. What are your full names?"
Sasuke stood a little straighter, "Sasuke Uchiha."
Haro nodded as if this that had explained everything. Mayumi went to open her mouth but Tobi spoke up, "Mayumi can't remember her original name."
"Hoi, now that's a pity." Haro went back to scratching his overly round belly
"Haro, we were here for weapons..."
"Right. Usual fit out? Any special weapons? I'd suggest a sword for him."
"It's up to them."
Haro began to fit them out with weapons, kunai, shuriken and other equipment. While Mayumi was getting fitted out Sasuke spotted a sword hanging on the wall. He walked over to it and touched its sheath, a chokuto.
Haro looked over at Sasuke. "Hoi, a perfect weapon for you. Take it down and see how it feels."
Sasuke frowned and took it down, feeling the comfortable weight of the sword in his hand.
"You like it?" asked Tobi
Sasuke nodded, unsheathing the chokuto to look at its blade.
"Haro stocks only the best items."
"Hn."
"Anything you like Mayumi?"
Haro had just finished stocking Mayumi with her weapons and she was browsing the racks. Her hand rested on a staff with metal caps on its ends. She picked it up and tested its weight, her ever-present grin widening.
"This."
Haro looked up from stocking Sasuke up with gear. "An interesting choice. See the three seals? Chanel chakra into the left and right ones."
Mayumi, surprised did as she was told. Finding three small seals near the middle of the staff she channelled only a tiny amount into them. She activated her dojutsu for a moment and to her surprise she saw a small blade on each end of the staff.
"The more chakra you put into those, the longer they get. The middle seal retracts the blades." Said Haro. "Both of your weapons are chakra conductive too."
Mayumi retracted the tiny blades and Sasuke frowned at Tobi. Chakra conductive weapons were expensive, what kind of favour was this?
Mayumi's ever present grin stretched so wide that her face threatened to split in half.
Tobi walked over to Haro and shook his hand keeping eye contact as he did so. Under his bright orange mask and childish facade this idiotic store keeper hadn't suspected a thing. Sure once the genjutsu was lifted Haro would be a vegetable, but...
"Thank you my dear friend." He said out loud. "Good bye."
He ushered the two teens out, leaving the man crumbling under the weight of his own mind.
Sasuke ran his hand over the hilt of his chokuto, marvelling at the power he had been given. This sword would be used to kill his brother. Over to the right of him, Mayumi was running her hands over her new staff feeling her first true ninja weapon. Sasuke spared a glare for the confusing girl, if he didn't know he would have thought she was blind. Then there was her 'adoptive father'. He hid behind a spiral mask and a carefree attitude, but he had seen with his sharingan; the power he kept hidden.
And Sasuke was going to get it.
