Chapter 7 - The Owl Division

Tsunade's POV

"Your telling me Sarutobi wanted her to be a Anbu." I leaned against the tree examining the young girl ahead of me, she stood tall as Ayato had shown her new techniques though everything he showed her she easily mastered it. I curiously watched her as the fair-skinned woman beside me had smiled at the girl with raven black hair, "she seems to easily master everything she has learned in the past few days we had been watching her."

I narrowed my eyes at the girl watching as she performed as basic jutsu used in the Anbu which is a genjutsu, I tilted my head in wonder she hadn't known that her sensei was a former Anbu member. I leaned back with a light sigh brushing the blonde strands of hair away from my eyes, "I see." I responded. The woman beside me Shizune, my attendant, had jumped with excitement.

I had heard the story of this child, Kiyomi, she had gotten within a B-rank barrier that even Anbu's couldn't possibly get in too. A difficult task which had made me wonder often, she had fought against the resurrected forms of the former first and second Hokage and had taken on Orochimaru, she had another side which had been reported to me by her brother and a Anbu member who had experienced it first-handily.

They had said her strength was incredible for her age and the great amount of delicate chakra control she had along with the large mass of jutsu's she had shown she was able to display. It made her flexible not only to become a Anbu but as well a medical-ninja, though I couldn't exactly understand my sensei's last words, them being he wanted Kiyomi to be promoted to a Anbu.

She was a Jinchuriki, but was it a wise decision to give her the position of being a Anbu? But the third Hokage wouldn't have said anything that had been foolishness, he had said that with a smile. Damn old man.

"Call them too my office later today, I will put her in Toboro's squad." I watched as Kiyomi had brightly looked at her sensei with great interest, her eyes sparkled with the feeling of being educated by someone she cherished. My eyes focused on the bandaging around her arms, the markings underneath had been described as seals is what Ayato had mentioned.

He had sealed her tails into a single seal, I lanced my fingers together getting the complex idea across my head. How did Ayato manage to exactly get a creative idea as too were she could control that massive amount of power. Being a normal genius I suppose.

I began to make my way too the office seeing as Shizune dashed on the evergreen field a glee-filled expression filled on her face, she had taken a liking to the child who barely had turned 10. I quickened my pace as she indulged into a conversation with Ayato, she always had a small crush on him, I felt the evil smirk crawl on to my lips.

Looks like I could get a couple drinks in as well a quick nap while I am at it.

Kiyomi's POV

I looked to the bright gleaming stars that raided the sky the sight catching my eyes easily, I watched it breathless hearing the crickets buzz in the area, the street light flooded the lonesome dark roads as the lights shined within the homes of many. I watched as Ayato opened the door in front of me, apparently I had gone to met the new Hokage.

I had heard from her that she is one of the legendary sannin as well a great medical ninja, 'see not all woman are seen useless.' I stood beside Ayato as I had seen a group of Anbu men within the room wearing several different masks, one of them became familiar too me it was the bird faced Anbu man I had encountered when I had gone to fight Orochimaru.

They stood quietly their arms behind there backs as they stared ahead not moving a muscle. I heard the shift in movement and had noticed the woman in front of me, she had fair skin with short straight black hair and dark black eyes, she gave me a encouraging smile similar too the one she had shown Ayato earlier. The desk in front of me had been previously been owned by the third Hokage himself instead one of his students had sat there.

She leaned against her hand examining me with her brown eyes, the windows behind her had display the great view of the village along with the shining stars. Her desk had been cleaned and her paperwork had been set neatly aside, I gulped as I stared at her hearing Katsu brag about the bird faced Anbu man's biceps along with his team.

The Hokage, Tsunade had taken a sharp intake of breath before leaning into her chair. She closed her eyes for a brief moment before opening them filled with determination and a clear mind. "Kiyomi, I suppose." I nodded staring at her, her eyes focused on my bandages mostly likely knowing about my seals but still had a very suspicious look on her face.

"I had heard great things about you displaying your skills." I felt my heart thumped, after I had talked to Ren I was granted a chuunin along with Shikimaru. Ayato had glanced down at me for a moment, seeing his bright grin made my eyebrow twitch with confusion.

"Therefore I will be making you a Anbu." I blinked at the woman ahead of me her fingers lanced together as she stared at me, she sighed before opening a draw and pulling a large bottle of beer out, she gulped it down without restraint, I glanced from the corner of my eye seeing as the Anbu men hadn't been fazed by this action while Shizune had sighed hopeless.

"Glad I got that over with." She popped the lid and lazily laid back as Shizune eyed the Hokage shaking her head in the process, I glanced to Ayato who gave me a common grin, I suppose this happens often than.

"Anbu." I whispered lowly to myself, watching as the bird faced man approached me, specifically being a owl mask of the Anbu. He towered over my height but had stood from a distance. He nodded as he walked forward handing me a mask, it had been a pure white background with the black marks at the ends the pure black with pitch black eyes, the only difference for them it had a scar running from the eyebrow too the lip barely missing the beak.

"Yes, regardless of age and gender and previous rank you are now a Anbu member." The man spoke, I had gently taken the mask in my hands staring at it. I had the ability to become one of the Anbu, the new Hokage noticed that? 'Maybe?'

"You will be within the Owl Division, they are based on stealth and information retrieval more information will be explained tomorrow night which is your first mission as a team, for now go home. Tomorrow Toboro and his squad will meet you near the entrance late at night." I watched as immediately the other men within the squad had disappeared in seconds and soon the man named Toboro did so as well.

"That is all." Tsunade spoke as I made my way out with Ayato. The moment we had stepped out the door Ayato had released a breath he had held in, I looked up too him. He raised his hands up, "I had nothing to do with it." He began to walk away leaving me by the Hokage's door, I stared at the mask filling pride fill me. He glanced back at me a smile tilted on to his lips, "how about I treat you with some ramen."

"Really!?" Ren asked as he bounced on the balls of his feet looking at me with great excitement I slowly nodded seeing a grin being produced on to Shima's lips. He leaned forward as he popped the dumpling into his mouth, they had decided to visit the apartment I was currently staying in which was rented by Ayato but I had slowly paid the rent since I had been going on missions.


Ayato had mentioned to them I had joined the Anbu, though it's suppose to be considered classified they had been aware. Ayato said as long they hadn't mentioned it too anyone I was safe, Ren had given me a jaw-dropping looked while Shima gave me a smirk and a pat on the back as if he was expecting that. Both me and Katsu had a great understanding that we felt pride when we showed our mask off.

"Yes." I nodded again, Ren hugged me tightly his long arms wrapping around my shorter figure as he embraced. "Congrats." He showed me a bashful smile a small blush noticeable on his cheeks. Shima had rewarded me with dumplings at one of the nearby vendors by my house but I didn't mind sharing with them. We sat around a small table located in my living room next to a small TV lined with a good amount of books that had caught my attention.

"So your first mission is later tonight." I nodded, I had later received the female Anbu outfit it was a bit more different than the male's but consisted of the same material which was arm guards, black and gray armor, I had already gotten the sign of the signature spiral tattoo on my arm for the Anbu and a ninjato, which is a short sword.

"Well, I hope you do well today." Shima responded as he waved down the street leaving with Ren, they had gotten their own apartment which was on the other side of town. I watched there bodies become black specks in the distance, the sun had began to go down and the time of night had arrived.

I had already all the equipment on and was waiting for my next move, I wasn't exactly sure if I should leave a bit early too met them though when I had arrived I was marveled at the sight of the tall three man last time I had checked it was four. I began to make my way to them and they noticed me, they stared at the man before Toboro had come forward.

I heard the sound of a breath and I ducked as I watched a hand try to swing at me, I narrowed my eyes in the process as I raised the ninjato to the other Anbu's neck. He hadn't say anything instead I had heard of laughter behind his mask, "alright I approve." I quickly placed the ninjato into its place and watched as Toboro clapped his hands together.

"Alright. I will let you know but the Anbu refrain from using our reals names, it's often used to keep our identity a secret as to who we are. Therefore we come up with code-names and call each other by it whenever we are on missions." He crossed his arms across his chest, I stared up at him watching him step back as the the four members in total began to introduce their code-names.

'This is pretty cool.' Katsu swooned.

The first guy that had spoken was the tallest of them all, he had dark blue hair, his mask covered his facial features but it was different from the others and caught attention to the uniqueness of it. It had a beak painted with a dark colored of yellow, and the red marks coming from the top of his mask nearly reaching his eyes of the mask. "Ace." His voice was quiet and rough, he hadn't seemed to be much of a talker by the looks of it.

The second one the man had sandy blonde hair and slightly shorter than Ace, his mask had a dark yellowed beak and light faded yellow marks on his cheeks like a tiger stripes it was simpler than the other mask. He as well had a ninjato on his back which was required by all Anbu to have, he seemed to have a more leaner built as well, he tilted his head at me, "Daichi." The sounds of the crickets filled the forest ahead of us.

The third man seemed the shortest of them as was a inch shorter than Daichi, though it was easy for them to dominate me in height wise. He had short hair as well but it had shown to be spiky a bit since it had gone in different directions behind his mask. His mask was creative, mixed with both brown and yellow stripes on the cheeks of the mask and a cut over the beak of the mask, "Nao." His tone replied lazily, his arms rested behind his head.

Toboro had spoke now catching my attention, "Nao is the medical ninja in our team." He gestured over to him as he leaned back seeming as if he wanted no interest, his attitude reminds me strangely of someone familiar. He stepped forward, "we have word about some appearances of Itachi Uchiha nearby in the local village." Nao kicked one of the pebbles nearby his feet.

"Therefore we are going to gather information to see if it's true." He paused before looking back and forth between Ace and Daichi, "Daichi." The man perked up crossing his arms across his chest as he stared at Toboro. "You'll be in charge of Raven." I shifted on the balls of my feet, "Raven?" I tilted my head in confusion. Toboro sighed lightly, "that will be your code-name for now." I nodded.

Katsu on the other hand wished to be called something else, she said she wanted it be to more extravagant than the other names. I wordlessly watched as Daichi had approached with his hands tucked in his pocket, "alright Raven, your following only mine and Toboro's orders." I nodded showing him a sign of my understanding. I recall so I remember something about Ren and Shima talking about Sasuke's older sibling, Itachi, he was classified as a missing-ninja and a S-rank criminal.

We had began to talk off our steps disappearing into the shows of the whistling winds and the lit moon had provided a light throughout the dark shadows in the forest. Toboro had led the team in the front followed by Ace closely than Daichi and me and than Nao. Mostly since medical ninja avoid fighting but seeing he's a Anbu member he would still engage if a fight had ever occur.

'Itachi Uchiha, I wonder what he started doing.' Katsu tickled a thought of mine, I licked my lips as my mask covered the feeling of the harsh winds touching my skin. I jumped high the next time my feet landing on a tree next to Daichi as I followed his pattern as we made our way to the location we had heard of, the night had been dark and unwanted a exceptional time for predators to hunt.

'He's a missing-ninja, I wouldn't be surprised if he's in some organization.' She joked chuckling lowly to herself. The sounds of the crickets filled my ears as I followed the team which effortlessly made their way through the forest. I licked my lips underneath my mask as I shifted in the clothing uncomfortably I still hadn't gotten use to his outfit exactly.

The sounds of crickets had been drowned out as I heard the loud sobbing, Toboro had halted making the rest of us doing so in the process to our right had been a large opening where the sobbing sounds had come from. I grounded my teeth seeing as a woman wearing a kimono had been on her knees her cheeks painted with her dried tears, her long hair tangled together gripped by a blue hand.

I narrowed my eyes at the two men that surrounded her, "that's them." Daichi whispered lowly, one of the men had been tall and looked broad, he turned a bit making me gather a better look at his face, he had small round eyes with gills on his cheeks and with blue-grey skin. His eye catching weapon had been the one on his back it had been covered in bandaging.

The man beside him was handsome with onyx eyes and bangs that hung on either side of his face his hair noticeable pulled back into what I assumed a ponytail, this was Itachi Uchiha, both men wore cloaks that nearly reached their ankles, the cloak was pitch black with red clouds on it. "It's them." Daichi responded more lower as he tried to force himself to believe it.

"That cloak, it's the Akatsuki, Itachi had joined the Akatsuki." Toboro sounded as if he known this man, after all this was Sasuke's older sibling. The forehead protector he wore had a slash through the leaf sign, I shifted uncomfortable as I heard the woman cry a bit harder as the blue skinned man pulled her hair harder, my hands clenched together.

"The woman." I heard Ace quietly speak as he watched the two men, "we are just gathering information not saving lives." Nao replied as he leaned on a tree behind us his head tilted upward gazing at the bright stars.

"He's right." Toboro replied blandly. "I asked you if you had seen a boy with blonde hair." The blue skinned man spoke, tilting the woman's head upwards she groaned and the evidence of bruises had been shown under the moonlight. "N-No, I didn't." She groaned as she was harshly thrown to the ground, Itachi hadn't move instead he watched with his onyx eyes.

"He's a ninja, from the leaf." She shook her head her lip slowly swelling up. The blue skinned man sighed as he cracked his knuckles and proceeded to take his large sword on his back. "I suppose we have no need for you." He grinned sadistic at the woman, suddenly I watched as Itachi had turned slightly making eye contact with me.

My eyes widened and I jerked back, "blonde kid. Are they talking about the kid under one of the Sannin's supervision." I gulped, Naruto. I felt my breath escape from me as I watched the shadow appeared above my head, I looked up seeing the blue skinned man holding his sword, I moved to the right of the tree my feet touching the tree itself.

"Oh, you know." The branch I had been on broke in half, I watched as the group of us scattered, Daichi and the other had already been on the far side to the path we had taken to get here, yet I was the only one who had jumped at the top of the tree. "Raven." I heard Toboro yell as the blue skinned man launched himself towards me, I ducked his large sword gripping my ninjato I jumped up blocking his sword that tried to swipe me on my left side.

I gasped as I watched the tingling blue escaped from my hand, 'he's stealing our chakra.' Katsu shouted her voice ringing in my ears. I jumped back my feet on the ground, nearby had been the woman had rested in her own pool of blood. "What's this your getting all excited about?" The blue skinned man talked to his sword I watched as the sword jerked in different directions.

'Gross.' I watched in the distance there had stood Itachi, his eyes not wavering but carefully calculating me. "Hey, Itachi, how old were you when you joined the Anbu." He glanced back at his partner, "eleven." I watched the blue skinned man's sharp eyes look at me up and down, observing me. "This one doesn't look that old neither." From the distance in the treeline I spotted Toboro rushing back towards me, I held my hand up before they could touch the ground.

"Huh." The blue skinned man tilted his head, "you planning on fighting me alone." He dropped his sword to the ground and gave me a evil smirk, my skin crawling with anticipation, after the fight with Orochimaru we had healed in the hospital for a while it had only been about three weeks since I started to train again with Ayato, therefore we hadn't gotten much of a chance to go on any big missions.

"Just a brat, though it seems Samehada likes your chakra." He tilted his head questioningly, I gently place the ninjato in its sheath and began to perform hands signs. I adjusted my feet and leaned back as I lifted my mask a inch therefore I could execute the jutsu to its best. "Fire Style: Powerful Fireball Technique." I watched as the burning flame exited my mouth and launched towards the blue skinned man.

"Itachi." He spoke over the burning flames, suddenly a fireball had encountered mine, his technique had been more stronger and effective diminishing my fireball. I watched as his fireball was making it way towards me quickly, I shifted my feet as I performed the shadow clone jutsu. The flames had touched my arm guards now and quickly I performed a earth style which enabled me to duck into the ground as the raging flames engulfed me.

My shadow clone followed in front of me, she bursted through the hard grounds beside Itachi. We both lanuched forward she had missed while I had landed a hard punch directly in his stomach, the clone popped making the smoke appear and cover both me and were she was. I again lanuched myself into the ground beneath me, I rushed into the direction of where Toboro and his team had been.

I breathed out as I stood on the tree behind them, Nao had turned in this direction and laughter fell from his lips causing everyone to follow his gaze. I watched as they lanuched themselves towards me with urgency I was gripped tightly in Daichi's arms, "you nearly gave me a heart attack." I created a distraction I wasn't really planning on engaging in a battle with them.

"Come on let's get out of here."
