A/N: Chapter 4, whew I had to rewrite this three times before it even got to this level and I completely scrapped one idea I had this is actually the longest chapter yet. See! I told you they'd get longer. So a note to any of those who care, I'm going to Hawai'i for two weeks so I won't be posting the next chapter till I get back. by the way the next chapter is going to get a little interesting...I'll explain later ONWARDS!

"Flashback"

Chapter 4

Sukasu jumped from tree to tree, her silver mane flying out in a thick curtain, behind her. She slowed down, manipulating the air around her to use as a second set of eyes, as she closed in on her destination.

I count five, in the immediate area, and the rest are all spaced at ten meters apart, surrounding the village. It's worse than we thought, what are they trying to hide, hiring rogue ninja? "Just what are they planning?" She whispered to herself.

There was a shift in the wind, Sukasu ducked, just in time to avoid a kunai thrown at her from behind.

"Hey! You, Who are you and what do you want?"

"It's not nice to throw weapons, and then ask the questions you know," Sukasu said in a sweet voice, she turned around slowly to face her attacker.

"A leaf-nin, huh, you all just don't know when to stay out of things that aren't your business."

"Maybe, but if it's something that's eventually going to involve the leaf in an unneeded war, don't you think we ought to know about it?"

"I already told you, bitch; it's none of your goddamned business what we're doing. But something tells me if I don't kill you, you're going to keep on sticking your nose where it doesn't belong."

"Go ahead and try," Sukasu said in obvious challenge.

"Keh, don't underestimate your opponent, bitch."

Immediately after he said that, five more ninja appeared, surrounding Sukasu. Shit, he alerted the others to my location. She threw the long ends of her sleeves back off of her hands. I just hope I don't use up too much chakra killing them all. She smiled, as the wind picked up, swirling with deadly force, all around her. I wonder how team Gai is doing right now.

Neji flew through the trees at record speed. He was following behind Tenten and using his Byakugan to scan the surrounding area for enemies, when she asked. "Gai-sensei?"

"Hm"

"That girl from earlier...the one Neji met at the game shop?"

"Haibisukasu?"

"Yeah, who is she exactly?"

Gai-sensei's face took on a grim demeanor as he responded, "Sukasu is...an interesting story."

Neji looked ahead, towards Gai-sensei, a frown forming on his face. Guess it is a nickname.

"Sukasu comes from a clan with a unique kekkei genkai. The Hana, as they were called, were able to manipulate the elements with their chakra to subdue their enemy and drain them of their life energy. However, they can also create new life using the life energy and chakra they've taken. But Sukasu…Sukasu can do more than that. True to her clan name, Sukasu is the only known person of this generation capable of using the Flower style."

"Flower style?" Neji asked, "What's that exactly?"

"I guess the easiest way to explain it, would be that, she is able to use flowers to her advantage. Most wouldn't see a flower as a useful weapon, but for her, it's her ultimate weapon."

"Her ultimate weapon?" Neji was beginning to look extremely interested.

"Yeah, like Yamato's wood style she can create what's not there, add that to the fact that she is able to drain you of life through her manipulation of the elements, it makes her extremely powerful, and also extremely dangerous."

The wind had turned into a tempest, forming swords that impaled their targets with deadly accuracy. Dark red blood went flying in every direction, its owners, left dying on the forest floor. Their bodies seemed to wither away and decay on the spot. Shriveling up to mere husks of skin and bones, and a silver haired beauty stood in the middle of it all.

"Extremely dangerous, huh?" Neji went back to scanning their surroundings. She doesn't look that dangerous, although if an enemy did attack her, she could probably just pester them to death. His lips quirked upwards at the thought.

"So wait, if Sukasu is from the Hana, and she lives in the village. Where's the rest of her clan? Better yet why have we never seen or heard of her before?" Tenten asked quickly.

"The rest of her clan isn't around anymore. They all disappeared, or more accurately, they were killed off, she's the only survivor. As for why you've never seen her before... That's because she's kept away from the rest of the village; however, she's rarely allowed out of the village."

"She's rarely allowed out? Why?"

"Because...she's too powerful and if she does leave...we couldn't track her."

"We can't, why not?" Tenten asked with a bewildered look on her face.

"Neji, have you noticed that your Byakugan doesn't work on her, yet?"

"Yeah, I couldn't see her behind Tenten when I was scanning the village earlier."

Gai-sensei nodded grimly. "You can't see her with your Byakugan, ninja hounds can't sniff her out, and chakra beetles can't follow her chakra signature. She's untraceable, unless you can see her, you can't find her."

Hundreds of kunai came flying at her, from all directions. I'm not going to be able to dodge them all, she thought. "Scatter" she broke into thousands of tiny flower petals and disappeared.

"Hey, where'd she go?"

"I don't know."

"Idiot, you're a sensory type! Find her!"

"I'm trying to! But I can't sense her chakra, it's like she doesn't exist!"

"Ugh, you're useless! Kurai! Can't you sniff her out with that abnormal nose of yours?"

"No, it's like she doesn't have a scent, either."

"Looking for me?"

"They can't?" Tenten asked.

Lee just looked completely dumbfounded, "Truly, this girl is amazing."

Gai-sensei shook his head, answering Tenten's question. "No one knows exactly why she can't be tracked. They assume it has something to do with her flower style and the different chakras she's able to absorb. But the fact that she's hard to trace makes her perfect for scouting missions."

"But why do they keep her locked up in the village?" Neji asked going back to what Gai had said earlier. "Do you think she's going to run away and become an enemy ninja? That could be any of us; Sasuke and Orochimaru are proof of that."

"It's a definite possibility that she could run away. She's tried to before, although that was years ago, and she hasn't tried since. But no, the main reason is that she's too powerful. The Hokage believed that it would be best for everybody if she was kept from the possibility of harming the villagers and vice versa."

"Harming the villagers? It just sounds like you're keeping her locked up because you all are afraid of her power," Neji said, his voice growing angry. Or they just want to keep her powers confined to the village...just like the Hyuuga.

Almost as if he was reading his mind, Gai replied with, "Well I'm not entirely sure about that. You'd have to ask the Hokage directly."

"Keh" Neji looked away.

"But wait Gai-sensei, how do you know all of this about Sukasu anyway?" Lee asked, curious.

"Well, that's because I was her sensei for a while."

"What! You were?" Both Tenten and Lee yelled, in unison.

"Yes, I was, and keep it down you two or the enemy will know we're coming."

"Yes, sorry Gai-sensei! So how did you become her teacher?"

Neji shook his head, These fools. Although, he was just as interested as them. Though this explains why it seemed like they knew each other. It also explains why Sukasu took that defensive stance, she knows of Gai-sensei's strength.

Gai-sensei looked down at the tree limb he had landed on before responding.

"The Sandaime asked me."

Flashback:

"So who was it that you wanted me to meet, Hokage-sama?"

"Gai-sensei are you aware of the Hana disappearing?"

Gai stared at the Hokage's back confused as to what that question had to do with anything, but he answered anyway "Of course, it's all over the town. What about it?"

"Well not all of them disappeared. One person, a child, remains."

"A child?"

"Yes...Haibisukasu you can come in now."

The door to the Hokage's office opened and a young girl slowly stepped around it, closing it softly behind her. She padded to the middle of the room then stopped, her head was down, covered by a mess of shockingly silver hair.

"Gai"

"Yes, Hokage-sama"

"I would like for you to teach, Haibisukasu here, taijutsu. Can you do it?"

"Of course, Hokage-sama"

"Haibisukasu, this is Gai-sensei, he'll be your taijutsu teacher from now on."

Thousand Thorns Kick! The ninja went flying. His body looked like it had been punctured with thousands of little needles; he was dead before he hit the ground. One more, Sukasu thought as she turned to face her last opponent.

"Wow," Lee said, "Gai-sensei you are the best! To be picked as a sensei for someone that powerful. Does this mean that Haibisukasu is good in taijutsu too?"

"Good? Ha! She's amazing. She could probably beat you, Lee. "

"Really?" Lee's eyes shone with the joy of having another strong opponent to face.

Gai smiled at the enthusiasm his former student was showing.

Heavy breathing filled the air as Sukasu dodged another shuriken. That was his last one, she thought panting. Now's my chance, She ran forward, and impaled the ninja with a katana she had picked up from another fallen Nin. "But how, I don't understand, there's just one of you, how could you defeat all of us?"

Sukasu leaned forward, a smirk on her face. "Don't underestimate your opponent," She whispered. The rogue mist-nin's eyes widened, in fear, as he died.

Sukasu pulled the katana from his chest with a sickening squelch "There, all done," She said. But, I've depleted more chakra than I wanted to. She placed her hand on the dead Nin's face. I guess a little wouldn't hurt. A soon as she began to drain the ninja, the black hibiscus symbol that appeared on her back began to glow.

When it began to burn, she released her hand. "That should be enough for now." She looked around at all the carnage that she had created. "I guess I should get out of here before people come looking." With that she jumped up to the nearest tree branch and was off.

I have a little time, I could go find team Gai and lend a hand, she laughed. Now there's a thought. I wonder what Gai-sensei will say.

A/N: So next chapter will contain a lime. I know I know it's not the lemon you've all been looking for but I'm getting there. I just want them to have some sort of background before that happens it's not like it's a NaruHina fic, if that was the case the lemon would be right in the beginning. Well I've blabbed on enough, remember please review!
