I don't own Naruto, I just love it!
Anouncements: Hey guys sorry if I am late by two chapters already. I still need to make a few adjustments to Jiraiya's life. I am also working on of the roles of some of the other characters mentioned before to make sure that their roles are melded into the story and don't conflict.By the way May 5 was my birthday so I am feeling older now. I also reloaded the first editing of chapter 6. There are still some errors in this chapter since I wasn't able to edit it correctly that I'll fix and reload with chapter 6 and 8 that is already in progress.
Waking to see you
It had been days since their travel from the Village of Stone and Hyuuga Hinata was tired. As they slowly waited for the morning, they slept one last time before they would have to face the Sound nins tomorrow.
To tell the truth she was eager. It was the Sound that had taken her Naruto from her and denied her the one and single joy in her life. For Naruto she would fight her best. As she stood she saw Gai-ron sitting by his bed staring at the direction of Suna which was a half a day's travel ahead. She decided to talk to him before they set out to the Suna.
Gai-ron sat there and contemplated and wondered. It had been a long travel and by his estimate they should have met up with Sound nins today and this morning given the estimation of the Tsuchikage on how long ahead they would be something he was not right. He lost track of his thoughts when he saw the Hyuuga heiress come his way. For now he hoped that they had not found a way for them to get ahead. He also hoped that remnants of the old wars were no longer present to help them.
If not they would have to move within three hours to get to the Suna in time. He stopped as he saw the female Hyuuga move close to him. For now he abandoned his thoughts as he turned as to what would happen now.
"Ohayo Gai-ron san, what troubles you?" Hinata asked the Tenshi nin as she sat down in front of him. The nin merely smiled a smile that was there to assure her, but she knew that there was something that troubled him.
"Nothing Hyuuga san, it is just that something is not right and that I should do something about it, but there is another factor that we have yet to consider." He said as the Hyuuga's curiosity was taken. Although she was curious she decided to live it up to him and Shikamaru as a sign of trust.
Changing the discussion they began talking what it was like in the Village of the Tenshi. Hinata had gone first describing the beauty of Konoha's trees and the great forest that surrounded their village. She had said that the people were warm and friendly as much as they could. Gai-ron knew that this meant.
"Those bastards are judgmental you mean." Gai-ron thought as he began describing his home. He described to her the smell of the sea as it rode with the wind filling the nostrils of those who willingly inhale it as it fills their breath with coolness and calmness. He described the people with smiles that could disarm opponents if need be. Hinata was glad to hear about such pleasant people and it seemed to interest her how he described the smell of the sea in relation to the people of the Village of the Tenshi.
"What a beautiful way of describing your village Gai-san. It makes one wish that she was in your village." Hinata contemplated as she looked at the Sand. She then sensed something from the Suna village as Gai-ron stood to rouse the rest from their slumber.
"Die!" Baki shouted as the elderly Sand jounin ripped an Oto nin in half with "Kaze no Yaiba". He looked around and grimaced. He saw several Suna nins dead. The damn sound nins had managed to force most of their shinobis to leave the village with a false attack by the sound. It was late that they discovered that there were just two full squads of chuunins and at least three jounins with them. One of which was their old friend Kabuto.
"Damn and the Kazekage hasn't even arrived yet!" Baki growled as several of the three chuunin squads that remained arrived each bringing a report of their situation.
"Baki sama, we cannot find any trace of the other Oto nins. It appears that they had forced our men far into the dessert with an old trick of the old "Oto and Tenshi wars". Apparently it was the last one that the Sound hand since all of the rest were destroyed along with the unburned ones." A chuunin reported. Baki snorted.
He remembered this trick. It was a scroll with a large amount of chakra placed into it. Once the person concentrated his thoughts into it he would be able to produce one of the most believable illusions ever. Few would ever know about the illusion until it was too late that the entire army was drawn into the real army after it had attacked the other from behind. It was one of the tricks that the Tenshi had learned to overcome, by creating their own illusions. It caused in it's earlier uses several hundred casualties to the sound, but the time came where they made a better way around, but they refused to share it with the other villages being a village secret and all. How he wished right now they knew how to counter it. His thoughts continued as he motioned the chuunins to follow him while the Kazekage himself was in the dessert annoyed at the entire situation.
"Move up! We are finding a better position to rest then we start heading back! Kankuro take charge!" Gaara ordered as he began motioning his sand to bring him back to the Suna. It was fortunate that the sand could aide him in his travels along the dessert making less tired than others when traveling on the dessert. Thus he had enough strength to make it bake to defend the 'little one'. Kankuro looked at his brother and then approached him.
"What is it Gaara? Is it Yukito?" Kankuro asked as the Kazekage did not turn to him, but spoke.
"Yes, he needs me Kankuro. I promised Temari that I would protect him no matter the cost. Stay here and lead them back once they've been rested. I'll be waiting for you." Gaara said as his sand brought him back to the Suna village as fast as possible. Inside he hoped that they had yet to reach the boy.
"Find that boy now!" Kabuto shouted as he and the seven remaining men made their motion to find the child. They had searched and encountered three squads of nins as they searched for the child. Fortunately enough two of them had managed to go past them and ignore their presence while the third one had to be dealt with. As a result they had managed to waste an hour to rest up and regain their lost strength. The only other place that they had yet to search, the Kazekage tower, and that was where they were heading to now. Unknown to them a rather alluring and beautiful black haired woman ran to the roof with a little blond boy and little white haired girl in her arms along with the Suna Anbu that were left to protect them. As she ran a she touched the ring her husband had given her and at once in a distance far away a group that was forgotten and ignored up until know made their move leaping in large distances to speed the arrival. The woman stood at the edge and waited. If they arrived she would not let them touch her, but her death would mean that she would be able to send both children running as she cushioned the fall with her body and her death.
An hour later the Oto nins arrived and they saw that the woman holding their target was surrounded by Suna Anbu. As they planned their assault they knew that the Anbu knew that they were being watched. There was not way they would not know it. By now the woman had probably been encircled, but they had the numbers to get the job done. When the signal began Kabuto's men moved. While in the dessert Shikamaru was having problems as they met up with Gaara.
With Gaara's help the nins were moving towards the Suna village at a faster pace while expending less energy. They talked about how they would deal with the situation.
"By now they should have found Yukito and Lady Kasumi's daughter Kidomi. By the time we arrive there and head to the tower she may be dead as well as the children." Gai-ron pointed out as Shikamaru nodded.
"The best thing we can do now is avenge them." Shikamaru thought as he silently cursed himself for not remembering that during the shinobi wars several secret roads were made towards the Suna. One of them exited in a dune that they had just passed several minutes ago. Gaara saw his expression and understood.
"Do not blame yourself Shikamaru san. Not everyone can know everything. So is there nothing that we can do?" Gaara said while Shikamaru shook his head, but Gai-ron had a crazy idea that he told the two of his plan. Gaara agreed, but Shikamaru protested.
"That is just plain crazy!" Shikamaru protested to Gai-ron's plan, but Gai-ron would not let himself be convinced otherwise.
"There is no other choice, but we will have to wait till we are at the exact position that I mentioned." Gai-ron began getting Gaara's full support.
"I concur. Right now we have very little choices left. It seems that your Tenshi Anbu code is true to you and your fellow Anbu's personality. Does it not?" Gaara finalized as while Gai-ron smiled a maniac like grin as he spoke out loud.
"WHO DARES?" Gai-ron began as his men answered with an enthusiastic response.
"WINS!" the Tenshi men shouted as several minutes ahead of them a rather large frog with a blue overall kimono and a small blade made one last jump before he would land in the village of the Suna. While on the roof Kabuto watched his men falter against the woman.
The woman in front of him was amazing as she used one hand wielding a Naginata while holding two children with the other. What she lacked in ninja skills she more than made up with the skill of her weapon.
Kasumi moved with grace as she pierced the spear into the heart of an enemy and then used the blunt end to knock the other off the roof to fall to the ground as the nin screamed. She spun her blade over her head as she injured one more that tried to jump on her. Another threw shurikens at her the moment that she did that, but she brought her spinning blade in front of her to deflect them.
"I won't let you bastards take me or the children without a fight!" Kasumi shouted as she brought her spear to a battle stance. She would stand and fight and wait for him. He was her love and she had faith that he would arrive on time to save her.
At distance about an hour ago a young boy was running with a little pet puppy on his head. He watched with excitement as a figure of a gigantic frog with a pipe in its mouth passed directly above him. As the frog leapt away the boy found it curious it would go in that direction. His father had told him that the direction west ward of their home would lead to the Village of Suna if walked for an entire day.
He had seen the smoke that revealed where the frog had come from and he also knew that frogs needed water in order to survive and in the dessert of Suna even though he knew that the frog could reach or leave in less than ten leaps He did not notice however it's passengers. Three of who came from a village where an angel was born and the other is a man who found his heart in the most bizarre of places.
