Chapter 5: The Land of Waves
A.N.
Hey guys hope you've enjoyed my story so far. It's also be pointed out that there is a few things I need to explain like how she writes and does sealing and that will be explained at the end of this chapter, but for now let's get to the chapter.
Disclaimer: I own don' t Naruto
I jump from tree to tree towards the Land of Waves. I was heading to a small town there while fallowing Team 7, who were at lest a day ahead of me, but I was moving faster then them so I would catch up easily.
I moved swift and silent through the trees and if you tried to hear me or sense me you wouldn't be able to, which is a great achievement for me. The forest was still and silent like something would jump out at any minute, which wasn't very present, especially when you're alone.
'Hey Foxy want to talk?' I asked my tailed-beast teasingly.
"What did I say about calling me Foxy!?" He growled.
'I'll kill you from the inside out yada yada yada. But remember why I call you Foxy?'
"You do it because I look like a little fuzzy Foxy and it bugs me."
'You know me so well Foxy. Anyway give me a boost I need to catch up.'
"If I must." I instantly picked up speed as power surged through me and propelled me forward. Kuruma and I became somewhat friends, but it's more me bugging him tell he agrees with me, and it's quite fun.
With in a day of travel, I reached the water separating the land of waves from fire country. With a quick consecration of chakra I run across the water and passed a boat filled with people. Water splashed onto them and I heard some complaining, but I didn't pay it much attention knowing my brother was on it. Once across the water I step onto the dock of the small town, and quickly use a genjutsu to change my appearance, voice, and outfit for when others see me.
I jump to the roof tops soon after and wait for Team 7 tell they pull in on their boat and step onto the dock. Tazuna thanked the boatman before the group started to walk towards the forest. I fallow them silently into the forest and after ten minutes I got board.
'I should jump out and try to make friends with them. Yeah like that will work.' I thought sarcastically, but I jumped in front of the group anyway. Everyone seemed to jump at my sudden appearance, except… Kakashi.
"Come on Kakashi, I was sure I hid myself well enough or is it that you didn't realize I was there and your only playing cool." I said monotone.
"Ah… do I know you?" He asked.
"No, but I know you Kakashi the Copy Ninja." I replied, before my senses noticing a giant sword flying in our direction. "Duck!" I yelled before Kakashi could even respond. Everyone quickly ducked and the sword imbedded it's self into the tree behind me.
"Well, well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi, rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in the Mist." Kakashi said introducing us to the man that appeared on the sword.
Naruto then ran towards the tree, but Kakashi stops him. "You're in the way, get back." Kakashi ordered.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"This one isn't like the other two. He's in a whole other league. If he's our appoint I'll need to use this." Kakashi placed his hand on his hai-ta. "This could get treacherous."
"Kakashi of the Sharingan eye, did I get that right?" Zabuza asked. "It's to bad huh, but you'll have to hand over the old man."
Everyone was deep in thought before Kakashi ordered, "Quickly Manji formation, protect the bridge builder and stay out of this fight. I taught you team work so now use it."
"Ah Kakashi-sensei… but about her?" Sakura asked.
"Oh don't worry about me I didn't want to fight I only wanted to say hi, but if you want help I can." I said before sitting on the ground.
Kakashi seemed to believe me and pulled his hai-ta off his eye, reviling his Sharingan. "I'm ready."
"Well, it looks like I get to see Sharingan in action, this is an honor." Zabuza said.
"Sharingan, Sharingan will someone just tell me what it is." Naruto complained.
Sasuke started to explain Sharingan to Naruto, but I space out by taking out my journal and try to remember what this scene looked like in the anima so that I could try to draw it.
Chakra swirled around me and I didn't pay much attention tell the fight was over. I stand up and store my book away in my bag and walk forward. "All right let's get a move on." Kakashi ordered before waking away. In one moment I was in front of Kakashi who stopped short and fell into my arms.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said. "Kakashi-Sensei!"
"Oh stop worrying he'll be fine, he just used to much chakra, some rest and medical jutsu should fix him right up, but first we have to get him to Tazuna's." I explain before picking Kakasshi up with my unreal strength. (Complements of Gai's training) And started to walk in the direction of Tazuna's. "Hurry up or you'll be left behind."
"Wait what's you're name?" Sakura asked.
"My name it's… Yuki, Yuki Yuna." I give them my old life's name, which seemed like a good fake name.
"Well Yuki your really strong." Naruto complemented. "And you look about our age yet, how did you get so strong."
"Thanks… and my father wanted to make sure I was strong so that I was able to protect myself when I became a ninja." I tell them part of the truth since I didn't have any reason to lie. "Anyway let's get going." I start to sprint and think to myself. 'They need to learn how to be less trusting to people who help them out, but they'll learn that soon enough.'
-Time Skip -
Kakashi woke up a little while ago and I refused to talk to him knowing he would figure out my identity easily, in other word I sat on the roof of Tazuna's house while everyone was in side. The only thing that surprised me was when Naruto climbed up here to talk.
"How old are you anyway?" he asked.
"I twelve same as you." I answered.
"How do you know that?"
"I know a lot about all of you and that is why I must keep my distance."
"Why did you help Kakashi?"
"I helped because I want to save some lives in the distant future."
"Like who?"
" Man you ask a lot of questions… but there's this kid named Haku, and somebody I'll be calling Za for now on."
"Oh, where are you from?"
"Anywhere and everywhere."
"That's not much of a straight answer, anyway Kakaski-sensei wanted me to tell you to come inside for lunch."
"And you just happen to remember that now." I point out. "But I can't I have to prepare to finish up my mission."
"Why haven't you already left then I'm sure you want to get it done as soon as possible."
"I ran into a speed bump. Anyway I'll be in town for the next few days if you need help just call." I use my speed and get to town in a few minutes, where I had to pick up a few things.
-Time skip-
After I picked up some extra supplies and three cloaks I found a roof to stay on tell the day Team 7 would come to the bridge. When that day came I put my cloak on and headed for the bridge.
Like expected the bridge was quite and chakra hung in the air. I made my way down the bridge and found a place to hide for a bit. It toke longer then expected, but Team 7 came with out Naruto, and with Tazuna to the bridge, and the fights started with in moments. Naruto came after awhile and started to help Sasuke, I wait a bit longer then the moment I've been waiting for happens.
Kakashi sent his hounds after Zabuza and they hold him down, while Kakashi creates Chiridoi and charged towards Zabuza.
I jump out of my hiding spot and intercept Kakashi's attack, right in front of Haku. Chiridoi went through my shoulder as my hand shot out and I felt electricity go through me. Blood dripped down my side and arm, as my free hand locked onto Kakashi's wrist. The wind ruffled my cloak as time around me stood still.
"Don't you dare touch him, Kakashi." I said with killing intent, as I pulled his arm out of my shoulder with a sinking sound. "You will be sorry if you do." I could feel the gazes of surprise on me from every direction, but I didn't let that stop me.
"I will not let harm to either of them especially Haku, If you do I'll fight you here and now, I know how tired you must be." I felt the chakra filled mist disappear around us and I was sure everyone could see clearly.
"What make you think I wouldn't kill you right now?" Kakashi asked.
"Well I know someone important to, I actually saved her life. The only thing now is that if I die she dies if she dies I die. You understand know Kakashi?" I try to make the story believable and finished off with a chuckle.
I felt as Kakashi's eyes zero in on me, which was unnerving. Everyone was quite, tell Naruto appeared and started to make a fuss.
"Yuki what are you doing here? And you how dare you use Haku as a tool…"
The rant just keeps going on after that and I placed more attention to Kakashi, who must have been debating on killing me or not. "Go ahead Kakashi kill me and never see your beloved student again." I tried making killing me sound bad so he wouldn't kill me, but when I sensed a kunai turned in my direction I knew I'd have to think fast.
" Oh great your part of my death choice now too that's just lovely. How long has it been since you seen her any way Naruto." I tried to act the part of dangerous person and I was sure I was killing it. "I bet you don't remember her all that well either."
"Of course I remember Nee-sama, I remember everything about her, like how she was blind, or her strawberry blonde hair that would always hit me in the face when she turned, or how she really hated that Moji guy because he always picked on us, she ran away when we were four with out a trace, no one could find her it all tuned hopeless!" Naruto yelled angrily at me, but you could sadness in his voice two, I had to use every once of will not to walk over and hug him.
"It's nice you remember all those things Naruto, but she said she's not going home tell she knows Kohan and everyone she cares about is safe… Kakashi there's a storm coming and it's coming fast. Tell your Hokage he should step down after the chunin exams, only then will his daughter come to visit him." My voice flattered after all those things Naruto said about me it was nice. "Now Naruto finish talking to Zabuza we haven't got all day."
"Well, well, well, look what we have here." Gato's voice rang through the air.
"Oh Did I mention there's a group of blood thirst ninja at the end of the bridge?"
"No." Kakashi replied.
"Thought so." I step away from the line of people and pull out enough kunai to fit between each fingerer. "All right who wants some?" I threw two kunai at the two ninja beside Gato who feel down instantly.
Gato started to high tail it to the back and Zabuza went after him, hearing the end of Naruto's speech. I threw kunai killing any ninja about to hurt Zabuza and soon it was all over.
"Well Za your part of my bosses group now, no ifs, ands or buts. In other words welcome to my great group, now let's head back to base… here is the directions."
"What makes you think I'll join you?" Zabuza asked.
"Well you won't be welcomed back to the hidden mist and I'll kill you if you don't, so lets go… and I'll pay you."
"Maybe it's best if we go." Haku pointed out. "We won't be welcomed back besides she has a few good points."
"Fine." Zabuza mumbled.
"Wait!" Naruto yelled running up to me.
"Yes Naruto?"
"If you see my sister again can you tell her dad has something for her. It was suppose to be her fifth birthday present, but you know."
"I'll do it for you, but I'm sure she'll come around to visit some time. Alright with that said let's go." I order, before taking off away from the bridge and Team 7. The other two caught up to me, and that's when I remembered the wound Kakashi gave me. I give a hiss of pain as it started to hurt, I quickly brought my hand up to it to heal it, but the pain made it hard to think straight. My mind grew thick with fog and I stumbled on a branch, and it surprised me when some one caught me.
"Just get to the hideout." I mumble pulling a paper out of my pocket, not caring whom it was holding me up.
When I woke up I felt like I was in a daze, but I knew that I was in the hideout I made.
"Zabuza she's awake." Haku's voice said.
'Zabuza helped me?' The thought lingered in my mind, but I pushed it away. I made sense of my surroundings then tried to sit up, my shoulder protesting when I did.
"You should rest, you are heavily injured." Haku tried to push me back to lie down, but I moved away from him and got up.
"Stay here for a mouth and I'll visit you guy frequently, but in those visits it will be to pay you and learn how to do one-handed-hand-sings. After that you can come and go and stay as long as you want, but we'll have a meeting once a month. Is that clear?" I ask.
"Yes it is I'll inform Zabuza about that…goodbye I guess then." Haku replied.
"See two in five days."
"Alright." With that I left the building and headed towards Sunagakure, dismantling my genjutsu on the way. With in a few minutes I reached Sunagakure, and the guards let me in, then I headed home.
Once there I toke a shower, and made sure my wound didn't get wet, then changed into clean clothes. After that I decide t go visit my team, even though I didn't know where they were going to be.
After a while I found out that they left on the mission to gather up the lose snakes in a near by village early, leaving me alone. I waited patently for three days, for their return and when they did, I met them at the gate.
"Hey Shi your back." Kankuro said.
"Yeah I've been back for awhile, so how was your guys mission?" I reply
"It was going well tell someone decided to wake up a whole snake nest, but we toke care of everything in the end." Temari explained. "So how was your trip?"
"It went well…" I say easily, but I couldn't help, but to trail off.
"Well that's good. Why don't we all go to our house, we can catch up."
"All right." We walk away from our sensei and I could feel his eyes on the back of my head, as if I did something wrong.
The trip to their house was short, and Temari and I chatted the whole way there like we were sisters. We enter the house and had some snacks, and for once I got Gaara talking which was nice, but we some how got on the topic of blood, luckily Temari changed the subject.
"So Shi how did your visit go? Give details" Temari insisted.
"Well… I went there and most of the village has been rebuilt, but there are parts that are completely abandoned… but not much has changed." I explain as if it really hurt me to talk about it.
"That must have been hard." Kankuro said.
"Kind of, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." I said stretching, but I regretted it soon after. Pain rippled though my shoulder and I was sure it started to bleed. At that moment I felt a killing aura come from Gaara, that seemed to soften after awhile.
I grab at my shoulder sending healing Chakra into it to make it stop hurting. 'Kuruma why aren't you healing me?' I ask angrily.
"You will survive this so you don't need healing." Kuruma replied in an 'in fact' tone.
"What's wrong?" Temari asked concerned.
"Oh it's just my shoulder it's been bugging me."
"Then why do I smell blood?" Gaara asked before leaving the room calmly.
"What does he mean?" Kankuro questioned.
"I ran into some trouble on the way back, but my shoulder only hurts since I was trying to save someone's life." I explain briefly.
"But about the blood? Are you hurt?"
"No… maybe… yes, but I'm fine."
"Your bleeding, and Gaara was in the room he could have killed you in a moments notice." Temari started to freak out.
That one sentence made me think. 'Why didn't he kill me I could feel the killing intent, but it disappeared along with him.' "Temari why didn't he kill me?" I question.
"Don't try and change the subject… Wait why didn't he kill you?"
"Gee you make me feel so special." I said sarcastically.
"But don't you think it's wired, usually one hint of blood and you're a goner, but you seem to be immune to it."
"Hmm... You right"
"Hey Shi you should forget about leaving tonight there's a huge sandstorm outside." Kankuro said looking out a window.
'What? I should have been able to tell it was there.' I thought.
"Well I guess you'll have to stay here tonight, you can use a guest room." Temari offered cooling down.
"I guess I'll have to." I said.
My mind couldn't get off the fact I didn't die with Gaara around, and that I couldn't sense the sandstorm, it bugged me a lot. Even when I went to bed it kept me awake.
A.N.
Well that was chapter 5, and now for the explanations stating with how she seals, reads, and writes.
Well in her old life knew how to write so she carried that skill to this life, the only thing she had to learn was how to space her letters properly, which she learned from that guy with the bandage wrapped around his head, from the first exam in the chunin exams, as for reading she runs her fingers over the letters to see what the shapes are then take then deciphering them. And the spies she got on a mission, when she saved some ones life, but that will be mentioned later on in the story. As for sealing Minato had to instruct her carefully on everything he taught her, like writing out the symbols.
I believe that is all I forgot to explain. If you have any question please ask them and when the next chapter comes around I'll answer them. Also I'd like to know if I should do a short chapter on the sand siblings mission and I'd like your thoughts on that. Oh and the chunin exams are coming up so make sure you keep reading for those.
Preview:
"All right team we are assigned to a mission that will involves the up coming chunin exams. We will be having a meeting with Lord Kazekage for more information." Baki explained to us, handing up each a piece of paper.
"Ah sensei only teams of tree can enter the exams." I point out.
"Lord Kazekage has already dealt with that."
"Oh."
