Chapter Five: The Hokage's Decision
The Hokage sat in his office, his pipe in his mouth. Some interesting news had reached him; Uzumaki Naruto had been traveling with a genin from Sunakagure and one from Mizukague, as well as a missing ninja named Momochi Zabuza. Sarutobi had heard of Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist Seven. Sarutobi needed to confirm the roomers.
Kakashi and Gai walked into the room, Kakashi's eye in his book, Gai complaining. "Kakashi, Gai, Sit.", The Hokage said softly. Both did, Kakashi's eye still focused on the book.
"Kakashi, I have a new team member for you, and a B rank mission for both your team and Gai's team.", The Hokage said softly, pulling the pipe out of his mouth.
"Hokage! You mean that the kids that I have trained will have such a high rank mission this early?!", Gai shouted, clearly stunned, "They can handle the mission by themselves!"
"They will work together, just as you and Kakashi will. The Demon of the Mist Seven is building a team, one of them is Uzumaki Naruto.", the Hokage said, smoke coming out of his mouth, "At least that is what I have heard."
Kakashi's eye moved from the book, focusing on the Hokage. "My team will be ready by first light. Who is the new ninja?"
"A young lady named Glacia Nieve. She is a former ninja from the Hidden Ice Village.", The Hokage said.
- Team Seven's Training Ground-
- Five mintues later-
Sasuke had been leaning against one of the more stable trees on the outskirts of the training ground, his usual look plastered upon his face. Sakura came skidding in to the clearing, clearly out of breath. "Augh! Suaske and Kakashi-sensei aren't here yet?", Sakura said softly, looking for them.
"I'm behind you Sakura.", Sasuke said softly, his black eyes held the obvious after affect of his use of his Sharingan(Copy Wheel Eye) eye.
"Oh!", Sakura said, spinning on her heel. "How long have you been here?", She then asked, looking Sasuke over, "Have you been training."
Sasuke had started to answer her when Kakashi and a Ice Blue haired girl appeared in the center, on two of the three logs that were dug into the ground. "Yes, Sakura, he has. And with good reason.", Kakashi said, his eye on his book.
Nieve sat down on the log, looking over the pink haired girl and raven haired boy. "You are Hano Sakura? Are you not?", Nieve said, her eyes narrowing abit. "Your chakra system is very well developed."
Sakura looked back at the blue haired girl, something seemed different about her. Almost like she was ice cold, and it had to be about eighty degrees outside. "Yes I am, and thank you."
Nieve just moved on to the boy, he was an unusal one. "Uchiha Sasuke, huh?", was all she said to the boy, her eyes looking him up and down. All Sasuke said was "Hn."
Kakashi, his eye still focused on the book, said, "This is Glacia Nieve, Former ninja from the Village Hidden in the Ice. She is also your new team member."
"So you're an Ice Ninja.", Sasuke said, now taking an interest in the girl, "Let's see just how good you are."; Sasuke moved his feet slightly, Activating his Sharingan and reading himself to attack.
Nieve just simply looked at him, "You want to play then?"; Her hands moved swiftly, then she whispered "Makai Ittai: Kouseki Shimobashira (Hell Zone: Crystal Ice Needles)."
Sasuke grinned; this was going to be interesting. He steadied his breath, slowing it, then he saw his breath fog up in front of his face. His eyes opened a little wider as he shot off in a run, the water in the air was crystallizing in front of his face. Somehow he was surrounded by the crystallized water needles, and they attacked all at once.
"Kage no Bushin", Sasuke whispered as he took off a little faster, flipping just out of the way. The shadow clone "poof"-ed behind him as he landed, his toes pushing him directly at the blue haired girl.
Nieve liked playing with this Uchiha, but she knew how to deal with them. "This is fun.", she said, hopping down from the log, her stance replacing Rock Lee's Strong Fist Taijutsu.
Sasuke just kept up running, thrusting his fist directly at the blue haired ninja. Her body moved long before Sasuke could react, the result was that Sasuke was launched through the air; his body doing several flips and inversions, spinning him out of control.
Nieve moved herself into another stance, completely opposite of the Strong Fist Taijutsu; The Gentle Palm Taijutsu. Her body hand not moved much when she heard the pounding footsteps of Sakura.
"Take this!", Sakura shouted as she launched several different kuni, each with a small bag attached to the back. Nieve shifted her movements, dodging each kuni, there tips digging into the ground. "It will take more then that to beat me, Sakura.", Nieve whispered, moving her left slide forward, dodging another attack from Sasuke. Nieve's right foot came up into his sternum, her hands forcing his head down. Nieve's left foot landed on his back, then she launched off of him. Just as Sasuke's face was closing in on the ground, several of the kuni of Sakura's exploded.
Nieve landed on her hands about twenty yards away, bringing her feet down to touch the ground. Sasuke had landed in some trees, and Sakura was kneeling on the ground, her face in her hands. Nieve's thin lips moved into a smile, as Sasuke stood up; the tree had to have broken is flight.
"Enough, All of you.", Kakashi said, during the entire match his eye had never left the book he was reading. "We have a B ranked mission that will take us to the Chunin Exams, I want all of you ready to leave in six hours.", He continued, turning the page of the book he was reading.
Sakura nodded then looked at Sasuke, 'Wow! I can't believe he is still able to stand.', She thought, nothing but admiration in her eyes for the young Uchiha. "You won't be able to do that again.", Sasuke spat, a small trickle of blood was visible from the left side of his mouth.
"We will see, soon enough.", Nieve whispered softly, more then ready to continue their match, "If you want we can continue. This is quiet fun."
Sasuke brought his hand up to his mouth wiping away the blood, and reactivating his Sharingan; his lips formed a smurk. 'So you are a new rival. Good, just more training to beat my brother!', Sasuke thought, moving his hands to form several different hand seals. "Kasai Kata: Jutsu no Hinotama (Fire Style: Art of the Fireball)", Sasuke said then sucked in a large amount of air. Forcing it from his lungs, a larger fireball came streaking at Nieve.
"Aisu Kata: Aisu Kakuheki no Jutsu (Ice Style: Ice Wall Technique)", Nieve said, doing the hand seals then slamming her hands onto the ground. A thick wall of ice formed directly in front of her, just barely in time to fend off the attack of Sasuke's. Standing quickly, Nieve moved back, then flipped back; the wall wouldn't hold up in this heat, and with Sasuke's fireball slamming into it, it was going to come down soon.
Sasuke finally stopped breathing out the fire, charging right in behind the tail end of the flames when something hit him in the gut then the face. Sasuke stumbled back; Rock Lee was standing directly between him and the blue haired ninja.
"Sasuke-kun. Why are you attacking her?", Rock Lee said, still holding his ground, Neji and Ten Ten landed next to the blue haired girl; Neji also getting into a combat stance, Ten Ten looking at Nieve's small burns.
"Lee! Get out of Sasuke's way!", Sakura yelled, standing and reading herself, "She has it coming!"
"Sakura-chan, I do not understand.", Lee said, still holding his ground, then his eyes rolled and his body fell onto Sasuke's left fist. "How about this, this girl is a ninja from the Hidden Ice Village, I don't trust her.", Sasuke whispered into Lee's ear, lifting Lee's limp form up slightly then pushing him off to the side.
"Hyuuga Neji, I would suggest that you move out of my way.", Sasuke said, his Sharingan looking directly at Neji's Byakugan(White Eye), "Or you will end up like your team mate."
"The two of you, Let me handle the Uchiha.", Nieve said, gripping her shoulder tightly, her grin getting wider.
"But… But your shoulder!", Ten Ten stuttered, the blue haired girl was strange to the weapons master.
"This?", Nieve said, pushing down on the wounded right shoulder. Everyone except Nieve and the unconscious form of Rock Lee winced at the loud "Pop!" and following crunches as Nieve put her shoulder back into place, "I have had worse from Tao Kyoi, He is one of the four we are all going to spy on.", She said, a few more crunches and pops were heard as she moved her arm around to make sure it was in.
"What are you talking about, Ice Ninja.", Sasuke said, deactivating his Sharingan and Neji did the same with his Byakugan and turned to look at the blue haired girl.
"Our mission, the B ranked one that we are going on with Team Gai in the morning.", Nieve said, "And the name is Glacia Nieve, Uchiha."
-Team Oni-
Kyoi had made it up the waterfall easily, it took him about four days to do it, but by sunset his head and upper body had broken the fifty foot waterfall. However, Kyoi ended back at the bottom of the waterfall in about three seconds. A water clone of Momochi Zabuza was looking down the waterfall, his bandaged and masked face grinned down at the unconscious form of Kyoi.
Meanwhile, both Naruto and Gaara had sped up their training. The sword that was now Naruto's flashed as it touched a few grains of sand on Gaara's upper left then flashed again in the lower right, and again in his lower center.
"Naruto, You will have to do better then that to get through this.", The red head said softly, an evil grin spreading across his face.
"Don't worry Gaara!", Naruto shouted, the sword moving quicker and quicker, small flashes popped up several more places. Sweat rolled down the blonde's forehead, running across his "whiskers".
Zabuza was shocked, 'These boy are really something.'
-Kohona-
-The next day-
Sasuke hopped from roof top to roof top, his pack strapped to his back tightly. He moved like a shadow in the early morning gloom, headed right for the gates to the village. He flipped down, landing with out a sound, then his eyes widened.
"What took you Uchiha?", Came Nieve's voice.
Sasuke looked up; Nieve was sitting on a low rising wall, leaning against one of the village's walls. Her outfit was very different, yesterday she wore what looked like something Hyuuga Hinata would wear, and this was very different.
"Where are the others?", Sasuke muttered, his eyes looking over Nieve. But, almost as if on cue, seven other forms dropped down onto the spot where the two were.
Right off the bat, Gai went into a short briefing towards the two teams. "Alright, we are on a B ranked surveillance mission. That means there will be little to no fighting." , Gai said, his face very grim. Kakashi, for once with his one visible eye not on a book, said, "We are going to confirm roomers about Uzumaki Naruto affiliating with a deadly S-ranked Missing Nin."
"Gai-sensei. Who is this Missing Nin?", Lee shot out, asking what was on all of the other's minds.
"The Demon of the Mist Seven, Momochi Zabuza.", Gai said looking at Lee, "I am warning you all, should you be spotted, move. Run and don't stop."
Team Gai nodded, Sakura nodded as well, Sasuke however asked, "Rules of engagement?"
"Only if you are attacked, otherwise watch.", Kakashi said.
