Cynthia was standing on a tree stump balancing on her right leg, hands placed together and eyes shut, she was mediating while she waited for her Sensei to return. She was in the height of her training to join the ANBU and so the Sensei to the team would be her trainer. He was known in the ANBU ranks as Ashi. But out in public and when he was with his students he was known as Skyler. Her long hair was plaited behind her back and she had her fringe just like how a Uchiha would. Her hair moved softly in the breeze but other than that there was no movement. She had a sword on her belt and on her back a large wooden bamboo stick tied around her shoulder and sat in a holster. She opened her light blue eyes and jumped in the air as a blade flew under her feet. She grabbed onto a tree branch and swung her legs up with ease and stood straight. "Well done" A rough voice spoke, it sounded like his throat had been subjected to a lot of screaming and smoking. He had dark and wild red hair, he had no top but bandages wrapped around his chest and over his right shoulder to almost act as one. His eyes were a dark burnt orange colour. He stood up and smiled. "Your dodging has improved a lot since I last tested you" He said. He wrapped the wire around his hand and retrieved his small dagger which was tied on it.
She bowed her head "Thankyou Sensei I have been training a lot since the exam for the final. I want to get into the ANBU and the Hokage said I have the potential" She told him and jumped down landing in a crouch and bowed her head and stood up.
Skyler blinked and nodded, "Well I have been keeping you in top shape" He said and looked at his shadow "Where is this new team anyway?"
Cynthia shrugged "I don't know, I have been here all morning"
He groaned "Great, so I have two guys who are being lazy?"
Deidara led Izuna through the forest following a map that Cynthia had drawn for them to find where the meeting place would be located. He paused and looked to his right. "I think I've done off the map...there isn't a waterfall on here" He said. Izuna blinked hearing the sound of the rushing water and he laughed softly. "Hey Izuna it isn't funny, she said our Sensei is a guy from the ANBU and he hates people who don't turn up for training" He said and sighed watching as Izuna took his shirt and trousers off. He smiled and dived into the plunge pool with a grin when he broke the surface.
"Come on just lighten up" Izuna said floating on his back with his arms behind his head, glass eyes watching his partner. Deidara sighed and sat on a rock, he slid his feet from his sandals and placed his feet into the water and smiled.
"Well that is relaxing" He said with a laugh in his voice.
"Well I wouldn't be laughing if I was you" A female voice spoke, Izuna sat up straight in the water and gulped going underneath the water in hope of getting away.
"Ah Cynthia I couldn't read your map, so we decided to stop and rest"
"Well that is a stupid idea when I even said Skyler hates people who don't turn up and such for lessons" She said knelt down on a rock and she smiled. "He isn't going to go easy on any of us you know. Even me, I will be subjected to a punishment because of you two" She said and stood up slapping Deidara on the head, with anger burning in her rich blue eyes.
"What is your problem anyway?"
"What do you mean?" She asked stepping back one pace and folded her arms waiting for his explanation.
"Well you dress like someone from the Uchiha clan, you kinda look like you are as well and I am going to say you have some of the same Jutsus?" Deidara spoke standing up, he was only just taller than her. But that didn't stop her; she blinked and smiled softly.
"I have been close to the Uchihas since I was born. I am 17 and I am 2 years younger than Itachi Uchiha, he was a childhood friend. I looked up to him and saw him as an older brother and I played as a close friend to Sasuke as I was going up. My family died in the ninetail's attack and so I was around the Uchihas quite a lot. I may have been 2 years older than Sasuke but I acted the same age and I was bullied a lot." She told him."So I dress like them because it is something I did as a kid. I don't know their Jutsus, and I have always been pale and black haired It doesn't mean I am one!" She spoke with anger blazing. Izuna had climbed out of the water and put his clothes back on with a large grin on his face.
"Wow Cynthia I guess you've been through a lot in away" He told her. "So you are close to us Uchihas then?"
"Well I was but my family weren't overly" She said and paused looking over her shoulder, "Quick follow me" She said and grabbed Izuna's hand since she knew he was blind, she didn't want him lagging behind her. Deidara blinked and got to his feet chasing after the girl.
"Why are we running Cynthia?"
"We need to get to the meeting place before Skyler finds us" She answered, "I mean I will get in trouble for helping you but doesn't matter" She said and carried on running.
Cynthia lent on one knee and bowed her head, so that she stared at his feet, Izuna stood by Deidara's side, his glass eyes just stared straight ahead, but the red headed ANBU trainer walked forward and folded his arms. "Bow" He spoke. His rough voice caused Izuna to simply drop down to a bow while the Blondie did it with much more force. He didn't really want to show respect to him. "Now Cynthia, I know what you did and so for all of your punishment I want you all to go on a 10 mile run, which Cynthia you know well. Also if you come across anyone, Cyn I don't want you to use your Jutsus. The boys can though"
"Yes Sensei" She spoke and stood up.
Deidara and Izuna both stood up as well "Ok well go, I will be following you, so I know you are doing it"
"Yes Sir" All three spoke, Cynthia turned and began to run up a well worn path, Izuna followed with Deidara following behind them.
"Are you sure Madara?" Hashirama asked watching as the Uchiha hung upside down from a branch, he had a happy smile on his face, he nodded once.
"Well sure I don't see why not" He spoke, his hair was tied in a ponytail and Tobirama was sitting under the tree reading a scroll on Jutsus,
"It's pointless why go into the ANBU?" Tobirama spoke looking up watching his elder teammates, he had dirt splashed up his cheeks and into his hair but he wasn't overly bothered.
"Well why not? I mean we didn't have it when we were growing up, and it looks fun. You get to wear masks and go on missions an assassinations. Come on it looks good" Madara laughed and began to do sit ups but hanging from the tree. The first Hokage just looked at his brother with a slight frown,
"If we join wont you?" He asked with a soft voice and eyes to match, he felt his heart slightly sink when he saw his brother's head shake.
"I want to become a Jōnin and I want to have my own team, you guys can I mean we all won't walk the same path" he said with a soft smile; "But we will still see each other you know" he said watching him. Hashirama stared at his brother who just looked back down at the writing and carried on reading without showing any emotion. Madara watched them both and smirked.
"I'm glad me and Izuna want the same thing" He spoke.
"And what is that?"
"To grow up old together. No interruptions of love and stuff like that. He will follow me into the ANBU and-"
"He may not get in for being blind" Tobirama piped up lifting his head and stared straight at him without feeling scared. Madara jumped down and stepped over grabbing him by the scruff of his collar and pulled him up to his feet and then just off the ground, Hashirama watched wide eyed.
"Izuna will. His skills are the best. He may be blind but he could easily beat you" He snarled and threw him into the tree.
"Gees a this is a great day off...where is Izuna and D?" Hashirama asked with a quietened voice now. Madara turned and looked at him and shrugged.
"He said something about being in a team or something" He said, "But I am sure it will all be fine and Izuna will come and find us straight away"
Izuna and Deidara were slowly beginning to lag as they jogged behind Cynthia; her pigtail bounced off her back but she was easily keeping a pace, her long sleeves covered over her hands and she had sweat dripping down her forehead, they had covered 5 miles and were slowly jogging up a large hill. Izuna coughed and was the first to break the silence, "Cynthia, please can we stop. I'm in a lot of pain" He said and finally slowed to a stop gasping for air. She blinked and stopped walking over,
"5 minutes rest then."
"How come you aren't dying like Izuna?" Deidara wheezed,
"It's because I have done this run with Skyler so many times, my stamina is high and I can run for a long time before I need to stop for a break. I have always trained hard though"
"What...did...Skyler mean? Not to...use jutsus?" Izuna questioned in-between his breaths.
She blinked and smiled softly, "It doesn't matter Izuna" She muttered and placed her hand on his shoulder with happiness. "I just don't use my Jutsus without Skyler with me. It's hard to explain really" She said softly. She lifted her head and she blinked standing, 5 people stood around the group; "I don't think you will want to start with us"
"And why is that little girl?" The lead man spoke stepping forward,
"Little girl? I am 17 years of age and I will kill you" She said and shook her hands, so that her sleeves fell to her elbows and placed her hands together with a grin.
"Don't! Skyler said no so do that. Take them out with Taijutsu" Deidara commented and pulled Izuna over. He had a smile and just watched with his fake eyes. She looked at Deidara and smirked.
"Ok Daisuke, but it's a shame I could take them out so quickly" She muttered and pulled her bamboo pole off her back and held it in both hands; twisting it a blade shot out of the left end and she smiled playfully.
Madara and Hashirama were walking through the village looking about just for someone to speak with, Sasuke Uchiha was sitting on a bench with Sakura by his side watching as he ate from his bento; Madara walked over and smacked him on the back, causing the rice he had just placed in his mouth, to explode and he coughed looking up. Sakura gasped and instantly went to rub him but he shrugged her off. "I'm fine" He spoke simply and stood up looking at Madara, both looked at one another but Sasuke was the one to break the silence. "Izuna is with Cynthia I heard" He said and smirked, "You have just lost your brother, she loves the Uchihas and our sexiness" He laughed and watched Madara's face drop. Hashirama couldn't help but giggle softly. Sasuke ducked as Madara swung for him, Madara's eyes were burning with pure anger.
"How dare you say such vulgar things! My darling brother is gay! He isn't into girls!" He snarled and carried on trying to lay a punch on the smaller guy.
Sasuke just laughed blocking some of the hits, "Cynthia is a great lass I don't get the deal. I thought you would have liked him to be with a girl?"
"No never. He is my brother!"
