A/N: Hey, everybody. I hope you enjoy this one. This is where the main plot starts coming in. Hope you enjoy!!

"Have you ever heard of the Akatsuki? The group of S-ranked ninjas?" He questioned me.

"Was it the group who tried to capture Naruto when I was on a mission?"

"Yeah, them. I was thinking, maybe you should keep an eye on Sasuke."

"Why? There's nothing wrong with him."

"One of the members in the Akatsuki who came for Naruto is Itachi... that's why."

I tensed at the sound of his name.

CH 4

"I see... So you want me to keep an eye on Sasuke because you think he's going to..." I struggled for the right words.

"Try and kill Itachi."

I blinked and stared at the man standing next to me. "So, you're suggesting that I talk Sasuke out of avenging his clan? You know, that's not going to happen."

"No, Risa. That's not what I mean. I just want you to make sure he doesn't over train himself." I nodded once, trying to comprehend his words.

I could tell that Jiraiya wasn't saying what he really meant, and that got me mad. Jiraiya got lucky this time. If I didn't calm myself down in time, I would've punched him until he reached the brink of death. I looked at Jiraiya out of the corner of my eye. He was staring down at the village where everything was calm and peaceful after Orochimaru's latest attack.

"Jiraiya," I said softly. I needed him to do something for me.

"Hm? What is it?"

"What about Naruto? Are you going to keep your eye on him? 'Cause I can't watch two at the same time."

Jiraiya looked at me. "Well, I'll tell you the truth. I'm planning to take Naruto outside of the village to train him, so when the time comes, he'll be ready."

"I see..." I should've known that Jiraiya would think of these things earlier and plan ahead. He's just like that. "Well, anything else you want to say? I'm sort of busy today." I crossed my arms and looked at Jiraiya from the side of my eye.

"Nope. That's all." I nodded once and left with a POOF. Now, to continue my mission from Tsunade. I quickly tracked down the group with Kankuro. Kiba and Akamaru, Chouji, TenTen, and Shino seemed to be doing just fine with Kankuro. Ok, so maybe not TenTen because Kankuro kept hitting on her, but other than that it was okay. Shikamaru, Neji, Ino, and Hinata were getting along perfectly with Temari, especially the girls. Lastly, I went to find my youngest brother, Gaara. Well, let's just say that I heard them before I saw them. I could hear Lee and Naruto arguing while Sakura was telling them to be quiet. Sasuke and Gaara were in the background trying to ignore the idiots that were yelling loud enough that the whole world could hear. I sighed and quietly watched them from my hiding place. They seemed to be having some sort of fight. I saw Sasuke and Gaara make their way away from them and closer to the center of the village. Lee, Naruto, and Sakura didnt seem to notice them take their leave. I sighed. Who should I follow now? This group seemed to be the one with the most problems. I made a shadow clone and sent it off to spy on Gaara and Sasuke while I dealt with Naruto, Lee, and Sakura.

I stepped out from the shadows and walked over to them. They didn't seem to notice me at all. I stood behind them and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Bushy-brows!! We're going into the forest!!"

"No!! We're going to the center of the village, right Sakura-chan?"

"We're going to where Gaara-kun wants to go!! So both of you shut up!!"

"But Sakura-chan, I-"

"SHUT UP!!"

I glared down at the yellow haired ninja in front of me and started tapping my feet. All three of them gulped and turned their head around slowly to face me. "I was aware that your mission was to show Gaara the village, not to argue like little kids and not know that two of your team members have left this place." I glared down at them. "You will learn how to work together and to carry out your mission effectively and to not cause any problems. Do you understand me?" They nodded their heads. "Good. Now, go and find your teammates before I decide to punish you for all the precious time you have wasted." They ran off before I could say anything else. I sighed and smiled to myself. They were smart, young ninjas, and I was proud of them. Though they did seem to have a problem with teamwork.

I found my way to where my clone was watching Sasuke and Gaara. The silence didn't seem to bother any of them, so I guess they were getting along fine enough. My clone silently disappeared in a cloud of smoke as I continued to spy on them. I heard Naruto, Lee, and Sakura coming and I quickly hid myself in the shadows and spied on them. They seemed to be doing okay. I sighed. Today was so boring.

A few minutes later, I decided to leave and go home to do whatever I needed to do. I left my hiding spot and started walking towards my house. When I got inside, I took my shoes off and walked to my bedroom. I plopped onto my bed and put my hands under my head and closed my eyes.

Peck, peck.

I opened one of my eyes when I heard something pecking my window. I sat up and saw a falcon tapping my window. I quickly got up and opened the window to allow the falcon to fly in. I noticed that there was a note attached to its neck. I quickly untied the note and read it.

Risa, the jonins are being attacked by the Sound. Orochimaru is with them. Go to the battlefield ASAP. They need your help.

Tsunade

I sat up. 'What? Orochimaru?!' I growled under my breath as I set the falcon free. My eyes narrowed into slits as I got ready to leave Konoha and prepared for battle. I left Konoha as quickly and as possible and soon, I tracked down the path the jonins took, and I soon, I found the battle field.

I landed on the ground and looked around. There were Leaf and Sound ninjas' bodies scattered everywhere. I narrowed my eyes as I searched for Orochimaru. I found him battling with Kakashi and Gai.

"Orochimaru..." I snarled under my breath as I walked over to them.

"Ah, my dear Risa. And here I thought that you'd never come." Orochimaru smirked evilly.

"Risa?!" Kakashi turned around when he heard Orochimaru say my name. "Thank goodness you're here."

"Yeah. I thought that Hokage-sama forgot all about us." Gai managed to get out between his pants. They were both sweating from the battle.

"Orochimaru. What do you want?" I walked over to stand by Kakashi and Gai's side.

"What do I want? You should know that by now, Risa."

I glared at him as I braced myself for any attack that would come from that snake bstard, Orochimaru. "Unfortunately, I have no clue what you're talking about. You seem to think that I do know, when I truly don't."

"Well, then, dear Risa. Let me tell you. You deserve to know the two things that I want,

since you are one of them." I narrowed my eyes as what he said registered in my brain.

"I will never go with the likes of you."

Orochimaru smirked. "That's what you think. Anyways, I'm also looking forward to retrieving my new container."

"Container?"

"Yes. And do you know who that would be?"

I growled in response. "Stay away from him, Orochimaru, you fcking bstard. He won't go with you."

"Ah, but he will."

I smirked. "Think what you like. But know this, Sasuke will never go with you."

Orochimaru laughed. "You'll see who's right, Risa. Let's go!"

My eyes opened wide in surprise as four Sound ninjas came out of nowhere. I hadn't noticed their presence. Kakashi and Gai seemed surprised, too. I assume that they were just on the sidelines, watching, in case they needed to interfere. Orochimaru and the four Sound ninjas jumped back into the trees and left.

I turned to the two exhausted jonins behind me. "You guys okay?"

They nodded. "Good. Now, help me get the injured back to the hospital. We can't just wait for the medics to come help us."

"Yeah, I suppose you're right."

We picked up the bodies of unconscious Leaf ninjas and started moving towards Konoha. I let Kakashi and Gai go ahead of me as I felt the presence of a powerful ninja nearby. When Kakashi and Gai got out of hearing and sight, a kunai flew towards me from somewhere in the forest. I bent down and saw a note attached to it. I ripped the note off and read it.

Four shinobi siblings,
From the village of Sand.
The eldest, an angel,
With her wings and delicate hands.
The youngest, a demon,
With trails of blood in his wake.
The middle two children,
Will help their powers awake.

I narrowed my eyes and felt the presence disappear. Who sent this note to me? And what does it mean?
