The ANBU Chronicles
File #1: Dokugamoto Sasori and Shiranui Genma
The ANBU captain stared at Sasori and Genma through his white porcelain mask. The two Special Jounin felt like they were being analyzed by the captain. He finally leaned forward and spoke.
"Dokugamoto Sasori, age 26, eyes: red, hair: reddish purple, fighting style: ninjutsu, village: Once affiliated with Sunagakure, currently of the demolished Cloud Village now of Konohagakure," he said, reciting her file from memory," Other facts: One of 4 bodyguards and trusted retainers of the lady Raikage, officially a missing-nin from Sunagakure. Prodigy of the Dokugamoto clan, master of poisons and the art of silent killing, you were a Cloud ANBU before you came here. Aaaand now, you want to be a Konoha ANBU. Am I correct?"
Sasori nodded. Genma shifted. The captain stared hard at her and she stared back, her red eyes passive, unfeeling, and devoid of emotion. 'Just like looking at Itachi...' the captain thought," Such a strange woman... I am surprised that the Hokage trusts her and her friends." He turned his attention to Shiranui Genma.
"Shiranui Genma, age 29, eyes: brown, hair: brown, fighting style: ninjutsu, Other facts: Not much to say really and not much worth noting except for you work during the Chuunin exams 6 years ago," the captain said," Not very notable, are you?"
"No sir, I prefer to keep my head down and do my job," Genma answered.
"Then becoming an ANBU is about as ambitious as anything," the captain grumbled," Any how, I have an assignment for the two of you. It has been noted by your superiors that you both are lone wolves when it comes to missions, Sasori, you moreso than Genma. This mission will require you to work together or you will both die at the hands of a very dangerous S-ranked missing nin."
Sasori arched a fine eyebrow at the captain. Genma flicked the needle in his mouth with his tongue.
"This S-ranked criminal is from the Wave Country and specializes in genjutsu," the captain continued," His name is Hirata Gensou and he has a silver tongue-"
"Meaning?" said Sasori.
"Meaning he can persuade you to do just about anything he desires," the captain replied. He excused her interruption for the time being," You must remember that he is decietful and all he ever speaks is lies. He can blend the truth to make it seem like it is real but it is nothing more than a lie. Believe him for one second, and it will be your life."
An uncomfortable silence settled. Sasori, who only responded to one authority, dared not mock the ANBU Captain and Genma just wanted to get out of the stifling office.
"When do we leave?" Genma asked.
"You leave tonight, in about two hours," the Captain said," Here are your mission folders. Read them over well and good luck on your mission. If you successfully kill Gensou, you will both be awarded the rank of ANBU."
They both nodded and took the folders.
"Now, I want you two to know that you could have been ANBU a long time ago but because you cannot work with others, I have cooked up this mission especially for the both of you. I kid you not, if you don't work together, you will die so you better start getting use to one another now," the Captain said.
"Are we dismissed, sir?" Sasori asked.
The Captain frowned behind his mask and then waved them off.
"Get the hell out of here you two. Good luck."
