Me: Nnnnngh. I don't feel so well.

Gaara: That's your fault.

Me: Shut up and do the disclaimer.

Gaara: Fine… Dog of the Dead doesn't own anything. Be glad. Anyway, she apologizes for making the battle rushed and making the summon spirits so weird.

Me: What'd I say about shutting up! And- this is Mithos, ultimately. www . deviantart . com / deviantation / 37123217/

without the spaces.

It's her in her costume she's wearing in this chapter and now in any further chapter. She carries a lot of crap under that coat. Thanks to reviewers, by the way. I know his teammates aren't supposed to find out, but Mithos knows about Naruto, for she is, after all, the Successor for position of chief in the "ancient city of Mizuho". She takes after her father. Freaking… My cat won't get off the keyboard.

"How far away is the target?" asked Kakashi-sensei through a headset.

"Five meters and closing… How much longer are we gonna wait!" Naruto's voice came through.

"I'm already in position, Sensei-sama." said Mithos, using her teacher's now regular nickname from her.

"So am I…"

"So am I!" agreed Sasuke and Sakura.

Team 7 readied themselves. "Go!" yelled Kakashi. The four sprang from their hiding places, Naruto glomping a grey cat, which Mithos was fawning over and petting.

"Remember… Our quarry has a ribbon on it's right ear that says "Tiger"… make sure there's no mistake."

"Target confirmed." said Sasuke, looking to the side slightly where Mithos and Naruto were evading the attacking cat (Mithos holding onto its middle).

Kakashi confirmed with a yell. At the mission area, Mithos sweatdropped and tried to refrain from hitting the woman from the land fire who was suffocating Tiger.

"Eh…"

"Poor Tiger… Good little kitty-kitty… I was so worried about you, I could've died!" Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke sweatdropped, as Sasuke and Sakura held back Mithos, who was itching to save the kitty from a certain doom.

"Now…" said the Hokage, puffing his pipe, "the next assignment for Kakashi's team seven will be… Hm…. Baby sit for the council of elders, run errands to the neighboring village, to help dig the sweet potatoes…"

"Bleh…" stated Mithos, pretending to retch.

"No way! No thank you! Boring! Give us something different to do! Something important! Something amazing!" yelled Naruto, putting his hands in a "No, No" gesture.

Sasuke thought the same, but didn't show it. Mithos nodded at Naruto's words, and Sakura and Kakashi just looked exasperated.

"Don't be a fool! You're only a beginner!" yelled Iruka, standing up, "Everyone starts out doing grunt work- it's where you get the experience so you can work your way up to the bigger things!"
Naruto and Mithos pouted.

"We've done TONS of small stuff- can't we get some action!" yelled Naruto back, determined.

"We didn't become freakin' Ninjas so we could do things that the children of Mizuho would have already been done with!" yelled Mithos, brandishing a pencil. Hokage looked somewhat grim at the mention of the name.

"Mizuho is not to be mentioned in Konoha, Mithos." said the Hokage telepathically to Mithos, who shrugged.

"Naruto, Mithos, knock it off. That's enough." he said, bopping them both on the head.

Mithos and Naruto started talking about halfway through the Hokage's speech.

"Hmm… We had pork ramen yesterday, how about Miso ramen today?"

"Ew. How about chicken?"

"Fine…"

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!"

"I-I'm sorry," said Kakashi, sweating profusely.

"I don't want to hear it! All the old fart ever does is apologize and then give me and Mitchan a lecture! But it's not fair! There's more to us than the trouble-making screw-up… The old man thinks we are!"

Kakashi sighed as Naruto pouted and turned away, and Mithos glared pointedly at Iruka and the Hokage.

Mithos took this moment to shame the two adults.

"Everyone- even me and Naruto, we parentless, selfish kids, have a right to life by being born. And it's your faults people hate us- why? Adults are stupid. Kids are smarter by far- they know that prejudice is bad. Do you think that letting people live is above you? Do you think that prejudice is right?" Mithos didn't exactly yell or speak these words. She whispered them, like a snake hissing. No one heard her, of course.

They frowned at Naruto's words.

"Very well… Since you put it that way…" said Hokage, avoiding the gaze of Mithos, "I will permit you to attempt a C grade task, usually reserved for Shinobi of the journeyman level… The protection of a certain individual…"

"Who? Some lord? A hime? A daimyo?" asked Naruto.

"Compose yourself. I'll start the introductions right away. Please let him in." said Hokage.

"What's goin' on here? They look like a bunch of wet-nosed brats- s'pecially the midget. She's got the face of an imbecile. It's a joke, right? You kids aren't really ninja, are you?" said an old, smelly man (Mr. Tazuna), to Mithos, the smallest of the group.

Mithos looked at her teammates, who were smirking down at her.

"Don't judge me by my height, you old bastard… I could take down more people than you ever could," said Mithos, her voice at a hiss. She was itching to summon Efreet and burn him alive.

"I'm Tazuna, a bridge builder of ultimate renown. Until IL am safely back in my own country, where I'll be completing my next bridge, you'll all be expected to protect me… Even if it costs you your lives!"

-

"AWRIGHT! ROAD TRIP!" yelled Naruto.

They had gone about a mile, what with Naruto talking about him being Hokage, and Tazuna belittling him, and also him belittling Mithos, who was twitching madly.

"So I don't have to worry about encountering enemy Shinobi?" asked Sakura after a long lecture.

"Of course not! Ha!" laughed Kakashi, patting her on the head.

In the back, Tazuna looked stricken for a second and gulped, then put on a passive face. Only Mithos and Sasuke noticed this.

Mithos looked at the puddle of water.

'Odd… There hasn't been rainfall for about three days…' Kakashi noticed it too, but passed it off.

Suddenly, he was in a chain between to enemy Shinobi.

He gasped.

"One little piggy…" they hissed, pulling the chains, sending Kakashi into pieces.

They came up behind Naruto. He was sweating, his eyes wide with fear. He couldn't move. He tried, but his whole body was paralyzed with fear.

"Two little piggies…" Sasuke jumped up. He slashed them both with Shuriken, nailing their chain to a tree, and nearly knocking the two out. They charged, now, at Tazuna.

"!" Sakura and Mithos drew kunai, but didn't have to- Kakashi was now holding the two in a choke hold. He killed the two, then and there.

Mithos lowered her hand.

After explaining… (I'm sorry this is so fast paced, I just don't like typing up all this crap from the manga Oo.)

Naruto stabbed himself.

"N-naruto-kun! Are you okay!" yelled Mithos.

"With this kunai knife I promise you… I'll protect the old man!" said Naruto.

"Naruto, we needed a free flow of blood to clean the poison from your wound, but… You've exceeded the need…" said Kakashi, winking. Mithos started laughing her ass off for no apparent reason, though it was probably the face Naruto was making.

(Time skip)

Mithos was chatting with Sakura casually, her coat trailing behind her.

"And then she started brandishing the I.V. at me and…" Mithos froze, Sasuke bumping into her. She looked in the bushes, and, not seeing anything, went to a nearby tree. She spotted a white bunny.

"Kawaii!" she picked it up, cuddling it and came back to the group, who was sweat-dropping.

As Kakashi saw the coat, he realized it was a diversion.

"TAKE COVER!" yelled Kakashi. The group ducked. In a flash of metal, a man was standing on the hilt of a long sword wedged in the tree.

"…Huh? He's from Mist…" mumbled Mithos. She took out a small slip of paper, and held it in front of her, chanting silently.

Naruto lunged at the man, but was held back by Kakashi.

"Stay back... This could get a little rough." said the silver-haired Jonin, reaching for his headband.

"Kakashi of the Sharingan eye, I presume?" asked the Ninja. He looked like he was wearing Pajamas, in Mithos' opinion. Quietly, a voice entered her consciousness.

'What do you need from me, O Mithos-sama?'

Maiden of the mist… I summon thee… However, stay in your realm 'til I give you the signal, okay, Udine-chan?'

'Very well.'

Kakashi fingered under his headband, pushing it up, revealing the Sharingan Mirror Wheel Eye.

"And now, Zabuza… Shall we?" asked Kakashi.

'Hmm. The Sharingan eye is not his, is it, Udine?' asked Mithos to the blue skinned woman inside her mind.

'Yes, it is probably Obito Uchiha's.'

Mithos watched the fight quietly, murmuring words. Sasuke glanced at her. She was clutching a piece of paper.

Now, as Zabuza stood on water, she shouted…

"MAIDEN OF THE MIST! I SUMMON THEE! COME, UDINE!"

The team, distracted, watched as a beautiful, cerulean skinned, indigo haired woman rose out of a glowing seal at Mithos' feet.

"I command thee, O Mist Maiden, Help our comrades against this one who abuses the power of water so! Let's go, Udine!" The woman flicked her hand. Zabuza seemed to flinch, arms weakening, but continued.

The woman spoke with a watery, resounding voice that was still kind.

"I cannot help here, Mithos-sama. He has betrayed the water and soaked it in blood. I cannot help… Fare thee well."

The woman disappeared.

(This is skip to where the part Sasuke and Naruto are fighting Zabuza, because I don't like typing battle scenes- I'm a romance junkie.)

Mithos, now in back behind Mr. Tazuna, in case of attacks behind him, watched Naruto's and Sasuke's brilliant technique to free Kakashi.

Mithos watched as Kakashi and the enemy mimicked each other.

"Hm… Interesting." she murmured, calling upon a spirit that did not answer. She swore slightly. With the creation of the new world (2,000 years ago, each of the "Heroes" lived long due to Seraphim techniques) there had been two new spirits- The Spirit of Blood and War and the spirit of Peace and Hope.

She called Abyss again, the spirit of Blood and War.

'ABYSS! GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE OR I'LL KILL YOU!' she yelled mentally.

A very unhappy spirit of war entered her head.

'WTF, I was in the freaking shower!'

'I need you to disable some of the Mistie's tech!'

'Fine! But you gotta leave me alone from now on! There's still soap in my hair!'

'You have hair?'

'Completely beside the point!' the female death spirit whined. She affirmed after she was done.

Mithos wasn't really paying attention during the battle until some kid in a mask killed Zabuza and toted away his body.

(Gaara: You are very lazy. You missed the entire fight!

Me: I'm JUST NOT IN THE MOOD, DAMMIT!

Gaara: o.O Okay then.)

(This is when Naruto starts yelling.)

"NARUTO CALM THE HECK DOWN! DON'T BE FREAKING JEALOUS!" Mithos yelled, getting to the end of her rope as Naruto complained.

Kakashi collapsed.
