FOR THE LOVE OF NARUTO! SINCE I DON"T OWN IT!
Early Reminders: Sorry for taking so long in making this. I kind of ran out of ideas for this chapter. The next one should be better than this and I'll spend that time editing this as well. So here is the unedited version of Chapter 8 and now to the chapter with a new village to visit as well.
Chapter: Grass and Frog
It was a bright sunny day in the land where the grass grew like the people who inhabited the land. There were three people that were walking down the busy streets not bothering to avoid the number of people that were amassed throughout the entire village.
Although they were tasked to deliver a letter to the Grass leader, they did not hide their presence and they did not bother to conceal anything from the ninjas that they knew were watching them. They knew that had they done so they would have been suspected of evil intentions. This would ruin their chance at meeting the Grass leader.
As they left the Market section of the village they stood their in front of two squads of Grass jounins. One had a set of green colored hair stretching from her head to her shoulders. The woman was wearing the traditional clothes of a ninja. Their green flak jackets and their grass headbands with symbols stood out as each of them stood their observing the Konoha shinobis away from the prying eyes of the people.
"I am Hasamei Izumi! You will tell me why you have entered our village or you will suffer the consequences of your actions!" Izumi commanded. She knew that their intentions were not hostile, but she could not afford to be complacent in her duties. This was here home and as is expected of her she would protect it at all cost. She continued her thoughts as she saw a pink haired woman came to the front to answer her.
"I am..' the woman began, but was interrupted by another woman.
"Haruno Sakura Medic nin of Konoha and student to the Legendary Sannin Tsunade who is both the Hokage and the greatest Medic of all time and whom I believe now assumes the name Uchiha Sakura." A voice shouted as someone came from behind the Grass nins.
This time it was a blond haired woman whose face was covered along with her hair. All that she could see from behind the woman's covers were a pair of lucid blue eyes. Here clothes were placed in such a way that it covered her entire body yet gave her enough room to breath. Only her eyes and her hair could ever be seen, yet her hair itself isn't that revealed as only a few blond strands of hair could be seen.
Kakashi was now worried. The woman in front of them knew everything about them yet they did not know anything about the woman or where she had come from. His worry came from the fact that she could be a spy from the Oto's remaining forces under Orochimaru, but there was still something else that bugged him about the woman. He remembered seeing a pair of eyes like those years ago on his former student. He could not shake the thought that this woman could be related to him.
Sasuke himself seemed to recognize some similarities between his former team mate and the woman, but he was somewhat convinced that this woman did not come from any other Hidden Village. He could neither see a marking or a symbol on her and even if he had activated his Sharingan he was positive he would find no trace of chakra on her. If she was then she would have been a fool to travel here alone. She would have at least several other bodyguards with her if she was from a ninja village. As the trio looked at her Kanade spoke.
"Thank you my friend and would mind telling me of their intentions?" Hasamei asked her friend in covers. She nodded as she responded with a slight nodded.
"They are here to seek and audience with the council of Grass village while their other teams are helping out Jiraiya sama as we speak. They wish to speak of deals and alliances, which I doubt they can back up without us behind them." The woman answered aware of the feeling of mistrust and doubt that the trio had towards her.
"Thank you and now my Konoha guest let us discuss as a member of the council and as shinobi of the Grass with the others about alliances and proposals." Hasamei replied as the Grass shinobi 'escorted' them, but they did not take of their eyes from the woman that exposed their mission before they were able to say it.
Village of Suna, Kazekage tower
In Suna, the Oto nins were amazed as a woman fought with her Naginata with great skill. Not even their best ninja skills could get to her and Orochimaru had specific orders to bring the boy back. It was also considering that on young boy was beside her as she carried another little girl with the same jet black hair she had. What made this woman most unique is the unusual blue eyes that she had. Very few black haired woman shared her eyes. They watched with amazement as her graceful figure moved and twisted to counter their every move. As they climbed the tower of the Kazekage, their other comrades engaged the remaining sand Shinobis that she had summoned on the roof to distract them while she herself made it here.
The fear and unease inside of her greatened when she saw the Oto nins kill Hakimu and Hatou, her Suna bodyguards. She knew there and then she must not give up. Hoped existed for her for all she had to do was climb up the Kazekage tower and wait for him. He was her husband and she knew for a fact that he would come and save her. He was her love as he was hers. She would not give up either herself or the children. It would either be death or salvation.
As she reached the top her blue robe swayed a bit in the wind, but it was only for a second. The moment she was on top of the Kazekage tower with the children she could see the village as it loomed below her. She stood at the edge as a white haired you man appeared.
"Surrender Lady Kasumi, you have tired us and we would be need of entertainment after this. We do not wish to tire ourselves any longer." Kabuto remarked pointing out the lustful eyes his men were giving her. He wondered how much she could take before her mind broke. His thoughts were broken as a set of shurikens arrived killing three of his men. Now only four were left with him. He looked to see several men in black and Konoha shinobis coming from above as Gaara finished catapulted them upwards with his sand. To make matters worse a large tongue of a frog appeared causing them to separate.
"You will regret the day you laid eyes on my wife!" a man shouted as Kabuto turned to see Jiraiya standing there with his black outfit standing out against his long white hair as the other Oto nins caught up and as the other Tenshi nins they begin their clash.
Kabuto fought with his wits as he fought the legendary sanin Jiraiya. He began his seals for the charka scalpel, but it was useless as the sannin beat him to it to perform his own jutsu.
"The only way to get out is…" he thought as he eyed a corpse of a dead fellow Oto nin.
"Kuchiyose Summoning no jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as a large frog suddenly appeared along with the other previous one and then in unison grabbed Kabuto with their tongues only to see the Oto nin's face give way showing that it was none other than another shinobi corpse being controlled by Kabuto. Gair-ron cursed under his breath. Killing Kabuto was one of greatest goals in life as well as Kabuto's greatest goal was to kill him.
"We will meet one more time Gai-ron and next time we'll settle this!" Kabuto thought as he raced away while the other swordsman was having the same thoughts. However at that time the others were all having a good time at the expense of a certain Frog Summoner.
"You idiot! You womanizing pig! I wonder why I shouldn't turn you into a barbeque!" the woman shouted at the sanin who could only whimper at her ferocity while the rest of the nins, Konoha, Suna and Tenshi were laughing at their expense.
"Hahahaha! The great ero-sannnin! Whipped by his wife!" Gai-ron laughed out when her rejoined them as the rest laughed with him while the Konoha jaws opened wide with shock, well except for Shikamaru anyway who just managed to let his eyes grow wide.
"Jiraiya sama! Thou hast found a mate!" Gai shouted while he looked at Jiraiya's rather beautiful wife. There was nothing as shocking than when the Konoha nins found out that Jiraiya had a daughter which he named Shakiku.
"Daddy did you bring us some gifts?" the little girl squealed as her parents stopped fighting and decided quiet down at Gai's reaction. The sanin smiled and gave his little daughter a new book to read while to his wife went a beautiful silver necklace shaped like fire. Everyone smiled a happy smile, heck even Neiji smiled.
"You have great smile mister." A little voice said as no one noticed him except Neiji who bent down with a smile to the boy.
"Arrigatou for your attention little one. You see I have had little to smile about these past few years." Neiji said as he bent down to speak to the boy. The rest of his team mates were surprised when they saw that Neiji was freely talking to the boy without his recognition of the boy was.
"Don't worry. There's always a bright star in the night according to my father. What is your name by the way mister?" Blond haired little boy said while Neiji smiled unconsciously and ruffled the boy's hair.
"Arrigatou, my name by the way is Neiji. What's yours?" Neiji asked as Jiraiya and the rest turned too late as the boy answered Neiji's question.
A/N
What a 180 degree turn for Neiji eh? Kids can be like that. They can have a mysterious effect on people. Well on the next chapter.
On another note I am sorry for the delay, but the next chapter should be out after Pairings of Water and Fire's nex chapter.
