Sand Uchiha:

Chapter 2:Setting Off

Later that day...

They were just about to pass the sand village's boundries when they saw ahead of them five familiar looking faces.They continued to walk until,right on the boundrie,and the ninjas began to speak to them.

"Would you be team 7 of Konohagakure?"A tall,man said.He's probably the sensei,Baki.

"Correct."Kakashi replied."Then you must be Baki."

He nodded."You must be Kakashi."

"Yes."Kakashi replied."Let me introduce you to my students,"He pointed to the blonde,"This is Uzumaki Naruto,"He pointed to the young,pink haired girl."This is Haruno Sakura."and finally,he pointed to the blue-haired heart-throb."and last,but not least,our third member,Uchiha Sasuke.And I am Hatake Kakashi."He finished.

"My students are,"Baki said,pointing to the red-head."Gaara of the sand."he pointed to the blonde"Temari."he pointed to the...uhh...marked dude."Kankuro."then lastly,he pointed to the girl that was standing on a tall sand-dune and she looked like she couldn't care less."and that's Naoki."he said.She silently made some hand seals and appeared in front of them.She glared at Sasuke."So this is his brother?The last surviving Uchiha?"she asked in a cold voice.

Gaara,who was standing beside her,nodded.

Her endless red eyes met his pitted black ones in a cold,hard stare.

Then she muttered something that only he could hear."Heh.You're a cute kid,but I was right.Your brother's way better looking than you."He whipped a kunai at her with the insult,but found that she had performed a quick jutsu and he was paralyzed."That's the problem with you Uchihas.I found that,like you,your brother attacked with any insult,but that's how I overcomed my slight fear of him by mastering a different genjutsu technique."She finished.

Her red eyes began to glow as she grinned an evil grin,more a smirk than a grin.

Sasuke felt a burning pain inside him.No,it wasn't the plague of guilt of any other emotion like that,it was real burning.A fire,deep within him.He fell painfully to the ground and twitched there.Sakura had begun to cry and was resisting the urge to leap out and attack her.But Baki stopped Naoki from doing anymore damage.Well...It wasn't so much Baki.You could say that technically,Baki was afraid of his students.But,the glares from her teamates convinced her to stop.Even though she was brought up without an ounce of mercy.She blinked and her eyes returned to the normal,red shade.Sasuke quickly recovered and painfully stood up."Gah!..."he muttered with pain as he clutched his side,the area that she had hurt him the most painfully.

"Cheh...Itachi was right.He is weak."She said to herself,walking back to her lonely sand-dune that she was previously on.She was just about to make a couple of hand seals and appear there when she turned around."Wasn't the demon kid,Naruto What's-his-face,on this team."

"That's Uzumaki Naruto to you!"Naruto yelled.

She glared at the short blonde idiot."You...You were responsible for the slaying of my family.My 2 older brothers and parents would be pleased to see your death..."She said in a cold voice that made him flinch."But,I think I'll toy with you a bit longer."She said and he was forced to stare into her firey,red eyes as he too,collapsed in pain."heh heh..."she laughed under her breath.But this time,her female counterpart snapped her out of her trance."C'mon Naoki.Why waste all that precious power and that killer chakra on a dunce like this."Temari tried to convince her.And at first,it looked like she was going to listen too.Then she cast one last look at the pathetic loser on the ground and then turned away and followed her teamates over to a sand-dune to look out over the desert.

"They don't exactly get along,do they?"Kakashi pondered."Awwww well.Hopefully,they'll get over it."he said and resumed reading a certain book.

Naruto thought about what that she-devil had said.'You...You were responsible for the slaying of my family.My 2 older brothers and parents would be pleased to see your death...' he replayed her harsh,cold voice in his head.Then he thought seriously.'She could've killed me right then and there.If she wanted to.' but then any other thoughts were far beyond the capacity of Naruto's brain to process anything any more complicated.

Sasuke's mind,meanwhile,was going beserk.'How did she...?What jutsu...?'He thought desperately.'What was with the fire?It...hurt...so...bad...'
