Ch. 5: Rumors Of The Perfect Shinobi
July 24 Hokage's Office
"So all of you have the rest of the day to prepare. Tomorrow you leave for Sunagakure," Tsunade said to the three teams she had chosen to go along with Team Kakashi. The teams were none other than Team Gai, Asuma, and Kurenai. Just then there was a knock at the door."Come in!" Tsunade called, and then walked in Shikari."Ah look it's the leader of your mission tomorrow"
"Since when am I the leader of the mission ?" Shikari asked.
"Since I just said so. Okay?" Tsunade replied
"Okay? Well I just came to give you some information on the rest of the people that the Akatsuki might be after," Shikari said pulling an overly long scroll out of a pocket in her coat." And I also came to ask why they're still going after Gaara. I thought that they had already extracted Shukaku from him"
"You may know about that little fact on Gaara, but I'm not quite sure that information from some sixteen year old is going to be very creadable," Tsunade said, now compleatly oblivious of the people in her office except Shikari. They were now all staring at Shikari, who was obviously fighting back a snide remark.
"Well, I've been gathering information for the last eleven years constantly checking it for increadibility and checking it against every other piece of information I know of! And what were you doing before you became hokage! You were sitting on your lazy butt putting your self in debt higher than the boundry gates of Konoha! Not to mention the fact that you still get drunk before noon!" Shikari blurted out after several minutes of silence. Her face was compleatly red and she was now steaming off the top.
"Okay. Sorry. So anyway back to answering your question," Tsunade said shocked at the now fuming Shikari, who in a lot of ways resembled an angry Naruto. Every one else was also staring at her in shock. Tsunade continued. "They're trying to draw out Naruto. We'll trick them into thinking they've got us in a trap, and then turn it on them instead"
"But the Akatsuki wouldn't do something so risky and stupid. They're not that impatient,"Shikari said.
"That's the exact reason why your the mission leader. I've heard rumors that you're smarter than your cousin, faster and stronger than Gai, and more detirmined than even Naruto. And seeing you blow up like that, your as hot headed as Naruto, if not more. Hope you two don't blow the mission," Tsunade said trying to get another hot headed reaction out of Shikari.
"Where did you hear those rumors?" Shikari asked.
"From your family, teachers, etc"
"May we leave Tsunade-sama?" Gai finally asked for everyone.
"Yes"
"So anyway, who exactly told you?" Shikari asked as the group left.
"Hiashi"
"Did he tell you any thing else"
"He told me alot. I saw him yesterday after you left. He said the Hokage should know"
"Oh. O-okay. But why did you have to say that in front of everyone? I don't want them to hate me or anything"
"Right. You're not scared of what they might try to do to prove what I said was wrong, are you"
"No,"Shikari said handing over the scroll of information on the jinchuuriki.
"This information does seem plausible. You even have all of Naruto's information correct from what I see. You can leave if that's all," Shikari bowed to Tsunade as she said this and exited her office.Outside she saw Naruto and Sakura. Once they saw her they came over.
"Hey. We've been looking for you," Naruto said as they approched Shikari. "We wanted to know if you could talk to us so we could get to know you before the mission. We are teammates now, right"
"Sure. That sounds cool"
"We were going for ramen, but we don't have money to spend," Sakura explained. "If my mom didn't make give all I earn to her, that wouldn't be a problem"
"I could pay," Shikari offered." After all, S-class missions give me more money than I know what to do with. I'll say this now. If you ever need money, just tell me. Kay"
"Okay?" Sakura said.
"How about you could just buy me ramen when I ask?" Naruto blurted.
"Okay. How much do you usually eat"
"You don't even want to make that deal with him," Sakura warned.
"I can eat thirty bowls of ramen," Naruto said.
"That's all?" Shikari asked."I can eat seventy-five bowls of ramen"
"Really!" both Naruto and Sakura asked in awe of Shikari's claim.
"Really. No lie," Shikari told them. "I can prove while we talk. I think I might be able to eat more than that to. Let's go then"
"Sure,"Sakura answered.
"Sweet. I get ramen today," Naruto said.
Ichiraiku Ramen Shop
"Wow!" Naruto and Sakura said in uinson.
"She just ate more than seventy-five bowls." Naruto said." I think she can be very trustworthy. Once you get over the fact that her blood type is ab"
"Shikamaru is an ab too," Shikari said while just finishing her 100 bowl of ramen." You can trust him. Can't you"
"Yeah. I guess you're right," Naruto answered.
"You know what I want to do"
"What Shikari," Sakura asked.
"I want to train," Shikari replied.
"You do?" Naruto and Sakura both asked.
"How else am I going to be totally and compleatly ready tomorrow"
"I'm getting used to you already," Naruto said. "Let's go then"
"Wait you two," Sakura yelled as Naruto and Shikari walked out of the shop." At least Shikari can remember to pay. Unlike Naruto."
SoMe RanDoM tRaiNiNG ArEa in koNohA Naruto is franticly searching for is enemy as Sakura looks in awe. Naruto looks vey exsausted. Shikari comes up behind him and he turns around. Just as he does, Shikari is some how behind him again. She looks ready to attack him, all the while Sakura looks very concerned. Just as Shikari seems to be attacking she jumps in front of him and says" You look tired. Maybe you go home to get some rest for tomorrow." Naruto nods, realizing she is too strong for him to fight at this time.
tHe hOUse of HyuGa hiAShi
"Neji. There's a legend I think you might find intresting," Hiashi said. They were sitting in the courtyard, obviously training.
"What kind of a legend"
"It's not a very old one. Maybe seven years old. The legend wasn't created untill the Uchiha Massacre. It's based off of another one from about four years before that. The original legend tells that there was and possibly still is an Uchiha stronger than Itachi. This Uchiha's name is unknown, but it is said that she was part of the clans head family. They say she could fully talk and walk by the age of two months old. She was enrolled at the acadamy by six months old, and graduated by one year. She became a chuunin at two, and a jonin at three. Not only that, but she had a Sharingon so strong, it evolved to also let her use the powers of the Byakugan. They say the link between our two families was proven when she was born. And to keep any one from getting the secrets of her eyes, she was the only person who was not a Hyuga branch member to get the caged bird seal. At the age of four, her clan became fearful of her power. They sacrificed her to one of the nine tailed demons. After that, both her and the four tailed death demon disapered"
"That is intresting. So do you know when this supposedly happened"
"It happened around the time Shikari was sent to the Hidden Village of earth to be raised as a spy"
"Spy? Why don't you tell me more about Shikari"
"People were getting suspisious of how Shikage disapered. They thought the Akatsuki might have captured her. They sent Shikari to get as much information as she could on the Akatsuki and all the Jinchuuriki"
"Shikage"
"The death demon"
"Oh. Do you think she's good enough for our leader"
"Of course she is. She's been dealing with the Akatsuki almost her whole life. She went to the Stone village to start learning from a very stron special jonin. The legend implies that the two of them may seem very closely related, but they couldn't be anymore far apart. If you want to look for the Uchiha, I'm sure Shikari would gladly help you. You both could learn alot if you find that girl"
"I'll think about that."
