Chapter 25 (Saiya POV)

"Hello everyone!" I announced. "My name is Saiya and I will be your guest speaker for today."

"You're late," Iruka said, slightly irritated.

"Well, Tsunade just gave me the message," I replied back quietly. "And I'm a little slow this morning, I apologize."

"What happened last night?" Iruka questioned me.

I just smiled mysteriously and turned back to the class.

"So, class, what questions do you have for me today? What would you like to know?" I asked kindly.

Every child's hand shot up.

"Whoa, one at a time," I started in the front with a little boy. "What's your name dearie?"

"Konohamaru; is it true you have a bloodline trait?" he said at once.

"That depends; who told you?" I said slowly.

The girl next to him said her question right away, "Can you show us?"

"Alright, might as well," I shrugged my shoulders.

I mean, if Orochimaru knew about it, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a secret anymore. So I created some fireballs to show them. They were awed.

This went on all day. They asked questions; all types. One girl even asked if I was married or if I had kids.

After all the kids had gone, Iruka thanked me profusely. The moment I stepped out of the building, it started to rain.

"God dammit…WHY ME?!" I yelled to the sky.

"Because you're you," I heard an unfamiliar voice.

I took a defensive position, and someone jumped out of a nearby tree and landed nimbly on their feet about twenty feet away from me. All I could tell was that it was a male. He was wearing a full face mask, and a cloak.

"Who are you?" I said carefully.

"Just come with me, and no one has to get hurt," he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice.

I took a better look at his appearance; ninja sandals, ninja pants, a sleeveless top, a mask that only covered the top half of his face, and armor covered both of his arms. There were two katanas on his back and his arms were extremely well toned.

"Don't bother with your kekkai genkai," he said swiftly. "It's all flame-proof."

"But you aren't ," I said pointedly, and shot out a fireball from my mouth.

He put his arms up and blocked; the fireball bounced harmlessly off of his arm.

"I warned you," he shrugged his shoulders.

"What…What are you?" I said, astonished.

"A success," he smiled crookedly.

"Can you expand on that?" I asked quietly.

"Orochimaru created me, and I am thankful for what he did," he said quietly.

"How could you be thankful?" I asked, the shock written all over my face.

"It was painful, very painful; but the result was this: I am immune to fire," he said nostalgically.

I need to keep him talking; someone has to show up soon.

"Alright, so I'm going to guess that you are the spy," I stated.

"Mhm."

"What is your name?"

He remained silent.

"Alright…why are you here?"

"I think you know that by now," he responded slowly, a smile creeping onto his face.

"Well, look, you know my name; isn't it fair that I know yours?" I tried using a friendly tone.

"Hmmm….nah," he said, shaking his head.

'God dammit,' I thought to myself.

The rain had now turned into a fine drizzle.

"Look, I really don't want to hurt you, please just come with me," he pleaded with me.

"Yea, sure; because I'm just going to follow the guy who wants to kill me," I muttered. "I am so done with this."

I turned around and started walking away.

"STOP! NO ONE TURNS THEIR BACK TO ME! YOU ARE DISHONORING YOURSELF AS A NINJA!" he screamed.

"Oh, seems like I hit a nerve," I whispered, my back still toward him. I whipped around to face him. "TO HELL WITH HONOR! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HONOR?!"

"Enough to know that turning your back on an opponent is dishonorable," he said fiercely.

"Do you want to die?" I gave him a hard look.

"You won't be able to kill me if that's what you're implying," he said calmly.

"Don't get too cocky," I smiled wryly.

He came running toward me, pulling his katanas out and creating two clones. I mimicked the clones and pulled out my kunais, blocked his blows. Both my clones and his had disappeared by now and it was just me and him. I was holding his katanas at bay, and he brought his leg around in a roundhouse kick. He nailed me right in my ribs, sending me flying. I flipped and landed on my feet some distance away. I spat out some blood from my mouth.

"Is that all you got?" I smiled evilly, and rushed back in, but I underestimated him greatly.

He grabbed me, and brought his knee up to my stomach. I grunted in pain and I could taste my metallic salty blood in my mouth.

"Now will you come with me?" he sighed.

"No!" I threw some shuriken at him.

"Oh, and next will be the kunai," he said sarcastically, but that statement made me stop in my tracks.

I'm pretty sure I've fought this person before; that's the only way he could have known that. I can't remember all of my opponents and the most recent opponent I could think of was Orochimaru, and this was not him.

"Don't day dream in the middle of the battle Saiya," he teased, then I saw the punch coming toward my face, but I couldn't do anything to stop it.

I went flying back into a nearby tree.

"No, you're the one who shouldn't let your guard down," I smiled wide, and with the blood now pouring out of my nose, that smile was creepy as fuck I'm sure.

At that moment, two hands came out of the ground and wrapped around his ankles, pulling him into the ground. Only the spy's head remained above ground.

"Such a simple trick as that? And you call yourself successful," I shook my head. "Let's see who you are now, shall we?"
