Chapter 14
Kisame
I walked beside the brunette as she told me of her arrival in Konoha as a child. "Wait… You knew Itachi?" I questioned. "Yep… We were best friends after we started working together on team tactics… we were the top two students…" She said as she fiddled with her hair. "You only had a Rinnegan though?" I questioned. I asked. She nodded… "Like I said back when I first arrived, I have a rare ability to absorb and permanently gain anyone's unique abilities…" She stated. I nodded. "Like this…" She said, placing the edges of her fingers upon Samehada. Her fingers spiked out into scales for a second before returning to their original form. I raised an eyebrow at the brunette. "I can use Samehada's ability now…" She stated. "Ohhh…" I said simply. Itachi cleared his throat. I scurried to catch up to him. "Chikara… you can continue if you wish…" Itachi stated. Chikara shrugged. "Kisame… shall I continue from where you INTERUPTED ME" she said, spitting the last 2 words through clenched teeth. I shivered slightly. I nodded and she placed a finger upon her chin. "Where was I?" She thought out loud. "Oh right… We soon became good friends and I visited the Uchiha estate regularly. I knew her little brother too… But he didn't like me…" She said simply. I nodded listening closely. "Why?" I asked. She shrugged.
We spent the next couple days travelling towards Konoha. We reached the border of Konoha and we looked over the village. Itachi spoke wise words before we began our infiltration. "Chikara… Kakuzu said you were skilled at infiltration… I'll leave it up to you…" Itachi said. Chikara nodded. Chikara dispersed into a sort of smoke. The smoke returned and took the form of Chikara moments later. "Your best bet is to go through the wall ten miles that way… someone should be passing by there in ten minutes… after that you have twenty minutes to get the target and get out." She stated confidently. "Is that enough time Itachi?" I asked Itachi. "Who knows…" Itachi said as he began to walk towards our entrance. "Chikara?" I said as Chikara sat down, her legs dangling over the wall. "I'll stick behind…" She stated. I raised an eyebrow but followed Itachi within. Chikara smiled and waved as we walked off. What was her angle? And how come she knew Leader-Sama and Konan-Sama so well? Chikara seemed suspicious to me. Leader had said that our group numbers were limited. Why was he now excepting a new member? I shrugged and followed Itachi within the walls of Konoha.
Itachi and I walked side by side as we approached the path. "Hold it there." A feminine voice stated. Itachi turned slightly to see the brunette Jounin. Apparently our infiltration hadn't been as stealthy as we thought…
