Miri looked back from the grave and to Sean. His eyes was down at the same stone she looked at. His expression was different, while she looked back with sorrow. Her brother looked at it with determination. Her feelings were mixed on his presence. His feelings to her was unknown in truth.

"So Sean." Miri broke the silence. "What are you thinking?"

Sean's eyes slightly opened. He moved his attention over to his sister. "Just of my actions in the past. We'll move tomorrow." He pulled on Anko's arm. "Let's move."

'When I saw my sister's grave, I didn't see the time I killed her and the moments after. And I didn't see any moments of the past with her. Instead, I saw Anko. I look into her eyes as we walk and I swear I see my partner. Well, when somebody knows every inch of my plan I better keep them close before I kill them.'

Sean walked the corner to the Hokage's office. He didn't bother to knock on the door and walked right in. Tsunade was behind her desk, Shisune right next to her, and Anko on the other side with a dango bulb in her mouth. He walked up next to Anko.

"How can I help Lady Hokage?"

"Believe it or not, you and your sisters are still a mystery to us. You'll be taken onto a mission with Anko to assess your strength inside the village."

"You can say you don't trust us yet. I have no problem with proving that we hold alliance here."

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's best for the Leaf to see how well your Tozoto abilities have gotten. You have acquired the Sharingan and the Byakugan. But we know not how far it's evolved without combat surveillance."

Sean took a small glimpse at Anko. "I'm not the best with any surveillance missions but I'll see what I can do."

"I expect the mission to run successful."

Sean and Anko traveled to a nearby town in the Land of Fire. Two more shinobi from the Leaf joined them in their search. The group took out a room inside a small inn and prepared their plan.

"Sean." Anko pointed to a corner building in the village. "This is the best spot to survey the village while hidden. The rest of you will commute among the the shops and keep an eye out for anything suspicious."

"I'll use my Byakugan to find them out. But if my Sharingan is needed to place the suspect under a genjutsu, then you need to cover me for five minutes before I can switch over."

"Understood." The last two men said.

Sean got up from the table and left the building first. He stood at the entrance to the inn and looked around the village. Sean tossed on his cloak and walked across the pathway.

Sean flipped over his headband closed his eye and snap them open. "Byakugan." His eyes were a very light purple and his veins next to his eyes pulsed through his skin. His vision became similar to his Tozoto state and saw everything in white and the full body chakra of everyone else.

Everything appeared normal to him, nobody was out of the ordinary. Sean reached the skinny, three story house in the corner of the village. He knocked on the door. There was no answer to the door. He scanned the building with his Byakugan and found nothing inside. Sean pulled out his sword from his side and slowly pushed open the door. His eyes snapped to every corner of the floor. He went up the stairs to the second level and repeated his process to the third level.

Sean looked out the window to the village and continued to scan the area. His eyes only saw the same levels of chakra in everyone. Sean hated this kind of work, he didn't like to sit in one place and wait for someone to pass through. In the first hour he leaned fully on the window with his eyes pressed hard on the window.

"Bored?"

Sean jumped and spun around with his sword pointed out. Anko pushed the tip of the sword away with dumplings on a stick and took her last steps up to the third floor. Sean's Byakugan relaxed and turned over to his regular Tozoto eye. He flipped over his headband to his regular eye.

"What are you doing here?" Sean asked. "This wasn't the plan."

"Thought we could use a little break. We still got two agents around." Anko walked next to Sean and leaned on the wall with him.

"So you thought it was best to come to me, with sweets."

"I brought the sweets for myself, you should still be watching outside."

"You just said 'we'."

Anko smiled and held out one of her dumpling sticks. "I meant me and the dumplings."

Sean flicked his sword to the dumpling stick and sliced off the top dumpling. He was able to balance the food on the sword and flung it into his own mouth. Anko stared blankly at the now two dumpling stick. Her eyes were unsteady as they moved up to Sean.

"You ruined it."

"Don't taunt me." Sean chuckled. He looked back out the window. "I got something." He locked on target with another man in a cloak. A white arm covered in scales reached out and grabbed a small sack from the merchant. The man turned to Sean. Half of his face was white with scales. "That's definitely him."

Anko looked out the window. "We'll keep an eye on him." Anko took the remaining two dumplings and ate it whole. "Keep your Byakugan on him."

"I need a few minutes but I'll keep watch from here." He turned his headband over to his other eye. "Anko!" His Tozoto barely caught an abnormal force. He shoved Anko to the side and avoided a strong punch thrown at them.

"Kabuto!" Sean grabbed the first lodged in the wall and shoved him back.

He held out his arm and launched a white snake at Sean. Sean sliced the snake's head before it could do any damage to him. Kabuto's smile made him eerie, he looked down at his blade. The snake's blood ate away parts of the metal and separated the tip of the blade.

"What the hell happened to you?" Sean crossed his fingers. "Shadow clone jutsu!" His clone and him performed two separate jutsus. "Wind style; wind hand cannon!"

"Lightning style; lightning blade!" Sean's clone held up the lightning in his hand in front of Sean's jutsu.

Sean launched his hand cannon through the lightning.

The jutsu disappeared. Kabuto's shoulder flung sideways and spun him in the air and to the back wall. Sean followed up his attacks with him and his clone. The two grabbed Kabuto by the throat and held out each arm and pinned him to the wall.

"What are you doing here? And what the hell happened to you?" Sean yelled.

Kabuto's psychotic laugh disturbed Sean. "You should look over to your friend."

Sean's clone looked back. "It's Anko!" Anko was on her knees, her breath was irregular. She prepped her body off the ground with her shaky arm. It gave out and dropped her. A white snake slithered off of Anko's neck and to Sean.

Sean's clone released Kabuto and stomped on the snake.

Kabuto's free arm latched on the clone's neck. A pair of white snake's summoned out of his sleeve and bit down on his neck.

Sean kicked Kabuto in the gut and flipped back. "Wind style; wind hand cannon!" He rushed back into him and connected his jutsu with him. The attack launched him through the back wall.

"Anko!" Sean turned his attention to his comrade and scooped her up in his arms. Her eyes dazed to almost a full close. "I got you. Shadow clone jutsu!" Sean spawned two copies of himself. "Get the other two, but at separate times. Can't let them know we know this jutsu."

"We are you. We know." One of the clones said before they rushed out of the building.

Sean waited for Anko's eyes to shit without them opening again. "Kabuto did just well." Sean chuckled. "When you wake up, your going to be right in my arms."
