So... Naruto and I came back to the village the next day. Naruto left straight to training. I got bored of that so I just stayed home, trained sometimes, went shopping because Naruto had nothing else to eat! And then he found out about the mission our team was going on, which I wasn't invited to and left me alone... Thanks a lot...
I tried summoning one time but I don't think I did it right... Long story short, I AM NEVER GOING TO SEE DOGS THE SAME WAY AGAIN!
"Ashelza..." a voice said bringing out of my thoughts. I turned finding myself in a large barely lit room. In front of me stood... a giant grey wolf with gold eyes.
"Who the hell are you," I asked backing away.
"You honestly don't remember me? Whatever, no time for names. Ashelza you are in grave danger! The snake man has your sister and he's coming for you too!"
"How do you know Orochimaru has Taylor?"
"I see everything that you see and more! But you have to prepare yourself, he will come after you and so will the Akatsuki!"
"Why do they want me?"
"Yamada clan! Legendary! Were you paying attention at all?" He seemed to have calmed down a bit. "Anyway, if you want to get stronger, there is another form of the necklace!"
"Really? What does it do?"
"I don't have time to explain! Time's running out," he said before disappearing.
"Wolf guy? Wolf guy!" I yelled before fading away too.
"Ashelza? Ashelza!" Naruto yelled as he shook me back and forth. "Ashelza I've been shouting your name for like five minutes now!"
"Hehe sorry. How was the mission?"
"OH! IT WAS AWESOME! WE FOUGHT SOME BAD GUYS AND SAW THE THREE TAILS, WHICH IS A GIANT TURTLE, AND I GOT SWALLOWED BY IT!"
"Cooool... Did you get pictures?"
"No..." he anime cried and fell forward.
"Hey I bought actual food instead of ramen," I shrugged.
"Pervy Sage is back! Oh yeah and we're going to hunt down Itachi Uchiha to find Sasuke!" he said pulling me out the door.
"Wait did Sasuke escape or something? Where's Taylor?"
"Sasuke killed Orochimaru and we think Taylor is in his group..."
"Okay, so at least Taylor is alive and well to be on his team right? So when we capture Sasuke we can get Taylor back too!"
"Yeah let's go! Everyone's waiting!"
"Naruto Wait, let me get some stuff first." he released his grip and I ran into his room. I found my weapons pouch and my necklace. I held it in my hand and ran back.
"Come on, we're late," I said running past him.
"What a gloomy day for a mission," I said as I put my hand out to feel the rain.
"Everyone know the plan?" Yamato asked. We all nodded. "Our plan is to capture Itachi to be able to apprehend Sasuke Uchiha, and Taylor Yamada if she is with him, and bring them home!" He smiled. "Now let's go!"
We jumped to a building and got split into teams. We each got two ninja hounds for every team. I was with Kiba and Aramark. Smiling I got onto Akamaru's back behind him.
"Now, our main objective is to sniff out Itachi, Sasuke and Taylor. But if you encounter anyone simply verify their location then come back here. ESPECIALLY you, Naruto, and Ashelza!"
"Awww why me?"
"You know the reason to that," I crossed my arms and pouted. Kiba chuckled in front of me. I slapped the back of his head and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Alright then let's go," Kakashi-sensei said raising his hand. "Scatter!"
We all jumped off into separate directions. Almost immediately Akamaru growled.
"What is it boy?" Kiba asked. I sensed something behind me. Turning my head around I barely had time to grab Kiba and duck. I fell off of Akamaru and rolled on the ground, a few feet away from them.
"Kabuto," I growled standing up. "Why are you here?"
"Just wanted to have a little chat with you," he smirked.
"Where are Sasuke and my sister," I growled.
"Hehe still all about Sasuke... Well find him and find your sister... I'm guessing she's at the bottom of a lake by now." I gritted my teeth. Kiba ran up and pushed me behind him.
"They say Sasuke killed Orochimaru. Is that right?" he asked.
"Yeah... that's right. But more importantly, I brought you a present," he put his hand in his cloak and pulled out a book.
"What's that," I asked.
"Intelligence our organization gathered concerning the Akatsuki." He then gave a big long speech and threw the book down to our feet. He lifted his hood and took off his glasses to reveal a portion of his face turned into a snake. He gave another big long speech about being reborn yadda yadda yadda. Then Kiba and Akamaru charged at him but he disappeared. They huffed but walked back to me.
Kiba pulled me into a hug, growling, "Next time he shows his face, I'm going to kill him." He softly kissed my head and pulled me on Akamaru.
We were currently sitting on the rooftop of the meeting spot. Kiba was lying against Akamaru. I was sitting in between his legs and leaning against him. He had his arms wrapped around my waist, his face buried in my neck.
"Well what do we have here?"
We turned to see Kakashi-sensei and Naruto. "And what is going on here?"
Kiba released me and I stood up, giving Kakashi-sensei the book. "We encountered Kabuto earlier. He didn't engage us in a fight. He only gave us this book. Supposedly it has all the information him and Orochimaru gained on the Akatsuki. I was reading it and it seems that they have a lot of information. But I'm not an expert so I'll leave that up to you."
"I take it that you are now well read on the Akatsuki and their motives," he asked not even looking through the book.
By this time all the others have arrived too. Nodding I said, "It seems that their mission is to capture all nine Jinchuuriki."
"What," Naruto yelled.
"They want to gain all of them together and revive the ten tails."
"Let's just get back to the village and inform Lady Tsunade," Kakashi said.
"Before we go, we found Sasuke's trail," Yamato interrupted.
We all ran to the spot where Yamato said that they had found Sasuke's trail.
"Sasuke and Taylor were right here a while ago," Kiba trailed off at the end.
"Then let's hurry up and track them," Naruto yelled.
"We can't do that."
"And why not?!"
"The trail goes cold," Pakun, one of Kakashi-sensei's ninja dogs, said.
"And what does that mean," I asked.
"In this case they were either annihilated or used the transformation jutsu..." Yamato said.
"I think I found them," Kiba said. "I made my nose sharper than a dog's so I'm pretty sure I found them!"
"Show us the way then!" Naruto yelled jumping off again. We ran for a while then Kiba started sniffing the air.
"He's this was, by his scent I can tell he stopped moving."
"Now's our chance," Kakashi-sensei said. We ran through the forest chasing the scent.
"Shoot its Sasuke! He's on the move again!" Kiba said a while later.
"Then we'd better go after them!"
"Wait, something's wrong. His scent has spread out!"
"They tricked us," I said.
"How do we find him now! He's too spread out."
Naruto performed a hand sign and yelled, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu." A bunch of clones ran off in different directions. The actual Naruto stayed with us as we continued following the trail we were on.
Without warning Kiba pulled me up behind him, on Akamaru, and took off. I laughed as Naruto yelled at us to wait for him. Wrapping my arms around his waist I buried my face in his shoulder, breathing in his scent. I felt Kiba laugh beneath my arms as we raced everyone following the scent.
