Chapter 4
Double Danger Hope Being Far Away
Leaf Village Academy
"Where is that instructor?" asked Sakura as she tapped her foot impatiently.
"I heard rumors of this Kakashi Hatake being chronically late for every function." Said Sai
"Just shut up loser." Said Sasuke
Sasuke and Sai jump away from the window as it exploded into shards as a black tarp wrapped like a ball wiggled around. Everyone that was left looked at the tarp with unease. Just then two teachers rushed in to see what the noise was. They see the tarp and pull out a kunai each. They then see the tarp stop moving. The two teachers walk up to the bag and kick the bag to see if the bag will still move. Before their kicks can make it a kunai cuts open the tarp and out pops Anko Mitarashi. Anko wearing a tan trench coat, fishnet chain shirt, and a tan skirt that looks around the room for her students.
"Alright you maggots which of you are in team 9?" commanded Anko
"Anko that's the tenth time you've broken the windows for a flashy entrance. Do like the other jounin and use the door or the body flicker technique. We're starting to run out of glass panels to replace the windows and wood needed for the repairs." Stated one of the upset teachers that were standing their reprimanding Anko.
"Yah, yah, sure I do that next time." Said a calm Anko
"Naruto Uzumaki, reporting for duty Mitarashi-sensei." Said Naruto
"Okay and were are the rest of your team?" asked Anko
"I was not given a team Mitarashi-sensei." Replied Naruto
"So basically you're my apprentice." Stated Anko "Great, I was looking forward to teaching a team of genin its no fun only torturing one genin."
"So where should we go for are team meeting?" asked Naruto, ignoring Anko's previous comment.
"I know a good dango shop lets meet there." Said Anko "Oh and before I forget you have to find the shop that I'm talking about or I'm not going to teach you anything so good luck."
"Does anyone know what shop she's talking about?" asked Naruto.
"She's talking about the dango shop over near the training grounds. They say it sells the best dangos in town and have some great red bean soup." Stated Chouji who stopped eating to tell Naruto.
"Okay thanks Chouji." Said Naruto
"No problem." Replied Chouji
Just then another jounin entered the room.
"Team Ten form up. I'm Asuma Sarutobi, meet me in room 232." Said Asuma
Naruto took the time to leave and find Anko. He leaves the building and head east toward the training grounds. As Naruto walks down the street he sees a square box following him down the street. Naruto knows that underneath the box is the Third Hokage's grandson Konohamaru and decides to humor him. Without Konohamaru knowing, Naruto replaces himself with a water clone and has it walk into the women's side of a bathhouse and dissolve itself before any of the girls could see it. Konohamaru after entering doesn't see the Naruto water clone, decides to stand up and to get a better look. Inside the bathhouse are several of the newly graduated female genins that decided to go to the bathhouse and clean up so they can find Sasuke and get a date with him since they were able to become genin even though they didn't really pay attention to their jounin instructors and would need to pass the instructor's test to officially become genins. Konohamaru upon seeing all the girls gets a big perverted smile on his face. One of the girls turns around to reach for some shampoo see Konohamaru and screams. Upon hearing the screams the other girls turn around and see Konohamaru standing there with a big perverted smile on his face. The girls start throwing things at him until he leaves. After leaving the girls rinse off their bodies and grab their towels to dry off. They then grab their clothes and get dressed as fast as they can, with some forgetting to put on their panties and are wearing skirts. Konohamaru meanwhile is running like the death is after him. He runs all the way to next street corner as some of the girls run out the bathhouse. Some of the girls are holding kunais and other shuriken. The girls that forgot their panties jump onto the roofs of the building to scan for any trace of Konohamaru. As they jump from one roof to another one of the girls misses the roof and land on a civilian boy around her age. Since she forgot her panties and when she landed on him, she sits up on his face. The boy always wondered what a girl tastes like. (Hearing about stuff like this from his older brother and uncle talking about tasting a girl.) He decides to lick her and find out. The girl upon feeling something wet and slimy touching her crotch, screams pervert, jumps of the boy's face and starts to kick him in the crotch. The boy feeling his crotch getting kicked curls up in the fetal position, which is curling up into a ball, starts crying. In his thoughts he is cursing his uncle Ebisu, and his older brother Satoshi for talking about tasting girls and not the reaction that the girl gives in return.
Meanwhile Konohamaru who is still hiding from the girls sneaks past three of them that were being observed by their Jounin instructor after seeing how Konohamaru had the guts to go into the girl's side of a bathhouse. He watched as all three separated to check out the alley that Konohamaru was in.
"Let's check out the dumpster he could be in their." Said first girl
"No way I just got clean and you know Sasuke doesn't like girls that are covered in filth." Said second girl.
"Well count me out I don't do dumpsters." Said the third girl.
"He has to be in here somewhere. You saw him run in here." Said the first girl.
"Duh. We know it's just really hard to find him right now. He won't get away with what he did." Said the second and third girl.
"This is to easy they didn't even know I'm here. If this keeps up then I'm home free." Thought Konohamaru as stood against the wall with a sheet to cover his body.
The Jounin instructor looked at how the girls acted with each other and how they worked like a team. He shook her head knowing that the first girl would have been the only one to pass her test. He decides to follow Konohamaru just to make sure he doesn't get killed.
Konahamaru by this time had made it back to the Academy and ran to hide in one of the classrooms. When he runs in and dives under a chair to hide he's surprised to feel a pair of soft legs against his face. Looking up he sees the face of an angry Ino right before she punches him on top of the head and knocks him out.
"Ino I think you when a little to hard on him." Stated Asuma as he went to pick up his nephew. "He's just a kid and didn't know any better."
"Well he should know better then to jump between my legs. What would Sasuke thing if he saw a little kid jump between my legs and gets the wrong idea." Replied Ino
"Good point. Well tomorrow we'll meet for your final test to see if your good enough to actually be considered genin so rest up and a word of advise be prepared for anything." Said Asuma as left the room with Konohamaru on his back being unconscious.
Naruto meanwhile was watching Konohamaru with amusement. Left to go find Anko. He reaches the dango shop with time to spare and orders some dangos since he's never tried any before. After waiting several minutes his order is given to him. Before he can take on off the plate the plate disappears.
"Hey thank, how'd you know I was hungry kid." Asked Anko as she ate Naruto's dangos.
"Those were mine Mitarashi-sensei." Stated Naruto
"Not anymore brat." Retorted Anko
"So now what." Asked Naruto "Do I have to take a survival test like the other genin or not."
"Nope you passed your test already. I was following you when you pulled that prank on the Third's grandson." Stated Anko "I can see you have an affinity with clone jutsus."
"Yes, I do I can make any type of clone jutsu except the basic one that we have hear at the Academy. It's because I have almost no skill in genjutsu." Stated Naruto
"That's fine I done have much one either. I just know how to detect and dispel most since my best friend is a genjutsu user." Said Anko. "Well tomorrow you'll be doing some special D-rank missions. So try to get some sleep and be bored out of your mind."
Next day
"Alright lets see now. Here you go Anko some fresh D-rank mission for your student." Said the Sarutobi. "This is a transport of some get well cards for the children in the Hospital, after that you can track down the cat that belongs to the Fire Lords wife."
"Thank you Lord Hokage." Said Anko and Naruto
"Was it wise to give Naruto to Anko, Lord Hokage." Asked Iruka who was working as an administrative assistant for the Hokage.
"I believe so Iruka, Anko can teach Naruto many things. Plus we found out that some of her cells where used on Naruto. So in a sense he and she could be considered brother and sister or mother and son." Stated Sarutobi. "He needs some friends, not acquaintances. In a way he's like you at that age Iruka, he just doesn't play that many pranks as you use to."
"I guess your rights but still Anko is one of the toughest special jounins that could be assigned to him." Said Iruka
"I trust Anko, she's proven to be capable ninja and leader through and through. I think training one genin like Naruto will be no trouble at all." Said Sarutobi.
Later that day
"Good work Naruto. You've finished your mission rather fast if I do say so myself." Said Sarutobi. "The rest of the day is yours to do as you please."
"I think I'll teach him a new move for him Lord Hokage." Said Anko
"Oh and what is it that you are going to teach him Anko?" asked Sarutobi
"Just some chakra control moves you never can have to much control over your chakra right?" said Anko. "Well I'll be seeing you later."
Anko leave with Naruto to a training ground to spend the rest of the day and the next learning new and harder ways to train chakra control. Anko's version of chakra control exercise is throwing shruiken and senbons at Naruto as he works on tree climbing and water walking. Anko through a few explosive notes to make Naruto's training interesting for her.
"Okay brat that's enough for today. Get some sleep." Commanded Anko
Naruto after training was panting from exhaustion. He has burn marks from the explosive notes, cuts and bruises from falling off the trees. His clothes are soaked and torn from falling into the water from the near by pond. His headband has several holes in the cloth that would suggest he replaces the fabric before it falls apart.
"Okay sensei see you tomorrow then." Replied Naruto
"Actually I have a mission from Lord Hokage so you have the rest of the week off, but since I can't leave my brat of a student alone for that long a time you got all these D-ranks to complete before I get back, and don't forget brat you got to catch that cat in three hours only otherwise you fail the mission and I have Iruka timing it so do think you can lie about the time. Understood." Said Anko
"Crystal clear. Sensei." Replied Naruto
"Good you're dismissed. Now get out of my site." Commanded Anko
One week six days later.
Naruto is walking to pick up a few D-rank missions since Anko still hasn't shown back up by the end of the last week as she said she would.
"Lord Hokage I'm here to pick up my next mission." Said Naruto
"Ah yes, here you go Naruto this is what your forty-seventh D-Rank mission in the past two weeks is it not?" asked Sarutobi
"Yes it is Lord Hokage. With Mitarashi-sensei still not back I can't ask for a higher mission." Said Naruto
"Lord Hokage!!! We just received a emergency message from Team Seven." Shouted a Decoder as she ran into the room.
"Hmm… this is troubling indeed." Stated the Hokage. "Naruto I have a new mission for you. You are to meet up with Team Seven in the Wave Country. I am granting you access to use your special abilities. Iruka will accompany you here is your back up. You two are to leave immediately." Stated the Third Hokage.
Later that Day
"Sorry for the delay Lord Hokage. It took me longer then I thought to kill that guy. But I'm here now and ready to train the brat some more." Stated Anko as he walked into the office with a drained head in a black bag.
"Sorry Anko, but an emergency showed up and I had to send Naruto on a mission to the Wave Country." Said Sarutobi
"What kind of mission?" asked Anko wondering what could be so important that it would take Naruto going on a C-rank mission as a single genin.
"He and Iruka are going to back up Team Seven since the perimeter of the mission I assigned them changed from C to A-rank." Replied Sarutobi
"An A-Rank mission??? I'm his instructor I should have been informed even if I was on a mission." Complained Anko. "Can I still catch up to them? Did they leave that sometime ago?"
"No they left this morning so after you give me an oral report you can meet up with them." Said Sarutobi.
"Okay so hears the thing the guy I was sent to assassinate had a strong defense around his home, so sneaking in was out of a question. So I had to enter as a possible suitor since he was looking for a girl to marry. I went undercover as one of the women and I have to say the women there would give Jiraiya nightmares. You should have seen his face when he saw me. He had the wedding ceremony and honeymoon set up that night. So the next morning I got married to the fat slob and for the honeymoon I use a shadow clone to kill him as an outside intruder. I have to say my acting skills as a helpless civilian has gotten better." Said Anko with a grin. "And the best part is since I was his wife I get all of his assets. So I'm one rich woman now."
Anko starts laughing at the thought of being so rich. She looks to see if Sarutobi is laughing and sees that he's only smiling for Anko.
"Is that all Anko or is there anything else I should know." Asked Sarutobi
"Not that I can think of Lord Hokage." Replied Anko "So I can leave to catch up to Iruka and the brat."
"Yes you may." Said Sarutobi
"Thank you Lord Hokage." Said Anko as she left to catch up to Naruto and Iruka
On route to Wave County
"Naruto were almost to the Wave Country." Stated Iruka "We should be crossing the border tomorrow if we keep this pace up. We'll meet Kakashi and the rest of Team Seven at the client's house." Stated Iruka
"Understood." Replied Naruto
Several Hours Later
"Naruto it's best if we rest now. It's getting late and we might get lost in the dark." Stated Iruka
"Understood, I'll look for some food you start the fire." Replied Naruto
A little while later Naruto returns with some wild rabbits that he killed. Upon seeing how many rabbits Naruto caught, caused Iruka to look at Naruto with an eyebrow raised.
"Some of them are different. I want to taste how different they can be." Said Naruto
"Okay, but your cleaning them yourself. I set everything ready so when you finish give them to me and I'll cook them for dinner." Said Iruka
Three Hours Later
"Looks like I finally caught up to you guys." Said Anko as he walked into the clearing were Naruto and Iruka were eating their dinner. "Hope you have some for me."
"We have plenty Anko." Said Iruka
"Great I'm starved." Said Anko
Naruto meanwhile pulls out a kunai and throws it at Anko. Anko catches the kunai with a snake to prove that she's the real Anko since only two people can summon snakes.
"Here you go Mitarashi-sensei." Said Naruto as he gives Anko some rabbit.
"So what's the situation in Wave Country? I only got a summary from Lord Hokage." Said Anko.
"I'll tell her Iruka-sensei." Said Naruto "Basically were going to back up Team Seven since their mission to protect the bridge builder Tazuna from the thieves and mercenaries. They were attacked by two Chunin level rouge ninjas from the Mist. Then they got attacked by one of the swordsmen of the mist. An A-rank rouge ninja named Zabuza Momochi who was hired by the business tycoon Gato."
"You mean Gato of Gato Industry?" asked Anko
"Yeah apparently he's been squeezing money out of the Wave Country for sometime now. Tazuna is the only one that can help the Wave's economy by building a build that will no longer force the people to pay Gatos high taxes on importing and exporting goods." Said Iruka "Its getting late Anko you and Naruto go to sleep first. I'll take first watch. Then Naruto can you Anko can take the last shift."
"Fine with me." Said Naruto.
"Alright." Said Anko.
The Next Day
"Alright everything packed up and put away, so lets get going." Said Naruto
"Hey who put you in charge of the mission? We out rank you brat." Said an irritated Anko
"Lord Hokage said for him to be in charge of this mission, to see if he's good enough for the Chunin Exam." Said Iruka.
"Fine. Whatever." Replied Anko
Unknown Location.
"Looks like our old experiment is still alive." Said a feminine voice.
"So what it failed who cares." Said a loud voice.
"It does now that we know what Akatsuki is after." Said a second feminine voice
"Who cares we can crush Akatsuki even if they get the demons under their control." Said the loud voice.
"May so, but its to much of a hassle to let such a weak organization run wild." Said the first feminine voice.
"I agree destroying the world is harder then destroying them." Said the second feminine voice.
"Fine, so what do we do?" Said the loud voice.
"We just send out Hikari to attack the Nine-tailed demon vessel." Said the first feminine voice.
"That's a good idea I've already got the location he's in. He's on route to Wave Country. Send her there." Said the second feminine voice as she tapped a few buttons on a keyboard.
"I've sent her the orders now all we have to do is watch." Said the first feminine voice as she sent the order.
Another Unknown Location
"Itachi, Kisame, I have a new order for you. You are to collect the Nine-tailed Demon immediately. I intercepted some information on our old friends the Diamond Dusk, they are planning to interrupt our plans." Said the Akatsuki leader "I am also sending with you Kakuzu and Hidan as back up."
"Is it really necessary for them." Asked Kisame.
"As it is now all of use alone would die from them. They possess more jutsus and ancient weapons that could eliminate all life on the planet in one strike." Said the Akatsuki leader.
"Are they really that much more powerful?" asked Itachi who was thinking they might be a challenge.
"They are strong Itachi, they were the ones that helped create ninjutsu and genjutsu techniques. They are the creators of bloodlines throughout the world." Said the Akatsuki leader. "Even the Sharingan Eyes you use so proudly are useless against them. To them your eyes are nothing more then a failed experiment they started only for their amusement."
"If that's true then how come there is no legend of them. Even the Akatsuki are but a mere legend throughout the world." Asked Kisame
"They create legends, even the Tailed-Demons are nothing to them." Said the Leader.
"Then we should get more power then the Demons themselves." Stated Itachi
"They have the most powerful weapons ever created." Said the leader. "Akatsuki's main objective is to rule the world, but our hidden agenda is to build up a force strong enough to destroy the Diamond Dusk."
"Understood, we'll meet up with Hidan and Kakuzu in Wave then." Said Itachi
Wave Country
"Looks like we made it so where's the client's house again?" asked Naruto
"Lets ask someone." Said Iruka
"Come on your wasting time." Said Anko, who was walking into the village.
"Come on Naruto we better get going." Said Iruka
Naruto, Iruka, and Anko walk throughout to find out were Tazuna lives.
"Hey kid do you know where the bridge builder Tazuna lives?" asked Naruto
"NO I DON'T SO LEAVE. NO ONE CAN BEAT GATO. HE'LL JUST KILL ALL OF YOU!!!" Yelled the kid wearing a white fishing hat, a yellow t-shirt, and gray overalls, as he ran way from them.
"Man what crawled down is pants." Asked Anko.
"Lets try the guy over there." Said Iruka
"Hey old man, do you know a guy named Tazuna?" asked Anko
"Tazuna, he at the bridge right now. Its just north of here." Said the old man.
"Thanks old man." Said Anko "Well lets go."
Bridge Construction Site
"Hey old man have you seen a man named Tazuna?" asked Anko as Naruto and Iruka followed behind her.
"That's me who wants to know?" demanded Tazuna.
"We're part of the back up squad that Kakashi sent for." Said Iruka
"Great with more of you guys here I feel a lot safer then with those kids. Well better with you two, not to sure about the blond though." Said Tazuna
"Don't worry he's stronger then he looks." Stated Anko
Naruto just standing there ignored the conversation to look around to see what gaps in the security there was. What he noticed was that the bridge had no security at all.
"There's no security on the bridge." Stated Naruto
"Yeah all the money that we spent on you guys and the bridge took all the money we had so we can't afford to buy more security measures." Said Tazuna
"I guess this is going to be harder then we originally thought." Said Iruka
"We can handle it don't forget we have a Special Jounin that's me, a Chunin that's you, and my apprentice that's Naruto. And don't forget we got old one-eye once he wakes up." Said Anko in a cheery voice. "Oh well we'll keep guard. So you guys can get back to work."
That Evening
"Good work you guys, see you all tomorrow." Said Tazuna "Alright were done for the day lets go home."
"Lead the way." Said Anko
Anko, Iruka, and Naruto follow Tazuna to his home. When they arrive they meet up with Tsunami: Tazuna's daughter, Inari: Tsunami's son, and the Genin of Team Seven.
"Hey there long time no see you guys." Greeted Iruka
"Iruka-sensei? What you doing here?" asked Sakura
"We're here to help you guys out." Said Naruto
"So where's the old one-eyed pervert." Asked Anko
"He's in the living room reading his book." Said Sasuke
"Hey Sai what's up." Asked Naruto
"Not much Naruto." Said Sai as he started to unseal something from his scroll.
"Okay, so what are you unsealing?" asked Naruto
"Oh, nothing important." Replied Sai "Just have to water my cacti."
"Man you must really like your cacti to take it with you on a mission." Said Naruto
"Yes, I do love cacti." Said Sai as he tried to figure out how to make Naruto sit on the cacti, just like Naruto did to him.
"Hey Kakashi! Get off your lazy butt and get over here." Yelled Anko
"Huh? Did you say something Anko?" asked Kakashi who was reading his book intensely.
"Yeah why aren't your students protecting the bridge? They got no protection for the site." Said Anko "What are you trying to do get all the workers killed?"
"No, I've been supervising Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai's training for when Zabuza returns in a few days." Said Kakashi.
"Well leave a clone of some kind and keep your eye on the client." Ordered Anko
"Yeah, yeah I will." Said Kakashi in a bored tone while still reading his book.
"Hey brat, don't become like this minute man." Said Anko
"Minute Man?" asked Naruto "Um… understood Mitarashi-sensei."
"Now, now Anko, no need to make names up." Said Kakashi
"So where are your brats training?" asked Anko
"Their training in the forest with the tree climbing exercise." Said Kakashi
"Their still that far behind?" asked Iruka as he walked into the room and the conversation. "Kakashi you suppose to have teach them that exercise a week after you approve of them. Teams Eight and Ten have already finished the water walking exercise and are now training them to work as a team."
"I have my own pace of doing things Iruka since they are my students now." Said Kakashi in a bored tone of voice.
"Even so, your going to be docked some pay for your neglect on teach the first two basics after teamwork." Said Iruka "Lord Hokage knows you like to take things slowly, so I was sent not only to back up Naruto, but to check on you progress since I already looked into Anko's, Kurenai's, and Asuma's. Even Gai taught his students the tree climb and water walking in the first two weeks, and Gai is the most eccentric person I've ever met."
"I believe you on the eccentric, but come on I'm not that slow of a teacher." Asked Kakashi
"Lord Hokage understands your method of testing your past potential students, but teaching students is a lot harder then you think, or did forget that the teacher is what molds the students or guides the students to being good ninja."
"Fine, Fine, I'll teach them the water walking when we get back to the village okay." Said a tired Kakashi who didn't like be scolded by a Chunin that made a lot of good points.
Next Day
"Wake up you maggots." Yelled Anko
Sasuke and Sai jumped at the sudden noise. Naruto just got up since he was use to Anko's wake up calls.
"We're up damn your loud." Said Sasuke.
Anko hearing what Sasuke said, throws a kunai at Sasuke who's reflex wasn't fast enough to dodge and got his ear cut slightly.
"WHAT THE HELL??? YOU PSYCO…" yelled Sasuke before realizing a kunai was under his chin.
"What was that little boy?" asked Anko in a dangerous and low voice "Nothing I thought so."
"Mitarashi-sensei, don't go making him wet himself. We still have to sleep in this room to and its uncomfortable to sleep in a room that smell like urine." Said Naruto
"Fine, you spoiled sport." Replied Anko "Well breakfast is ready so eat-up. Afterwards Naruto you're going to the bridge to help Iruka while I get these slackers more training."
"Sure thing sensei." Answered Naruto
Team Seven's Training Area
"Alright you worms front and center." Commanded Anko
"What is it?" asked an annoyed Sasuke
"I have a better way to train you three, then Kakashi's lame style." Said a grinning Anko "You three are going not only run up and down the tree, but you three are going to be tied together."
"What do you mean Anko-sensei?" asked Saruka
"Think of it as a three legged race, except for the three of you will have to run in synchronization other wise the other two fall." Explained Anko Seeing as they don't understand what Anko was explaining. Anko decides to take some rope and tie their legs to each other. Anko then smiles at the sight of Sasuke, Sakura, and Sai being tied together by the ankles.
"Hey what do you think your doing?" Asked Sakura who was in the middle of the three.
"This is how you're going to train. Now get to it." Yelled Anko
"OWW!!!" yelled Sakura as Sai and Sasuke ran in two different directions, only to fall as Sakura's legs forced them to fall and Sakura being forced into a split. Sakura feeling the pain of the forced split starts to cry and close her legs. Sai and Sasuke look at each other. Sasuke starts to yell at Sai for not following his lead. Sai just stands there not listening to Sasuke's rants. Sakura, who by now stopped crying, looked up at the two. She then grabbed both Sasuke and Sai and gripped their groins and twisted them with her strength. Both boys dropped to the ground and screamed in pain at the torture.
"This time you two follow my leads." Commanded Sakura as she held onto them by their groins.
"Okay just let go
Sakura." Cried out Sasuke. "Note to self buy a cup."
"Understood Haruno." Sai croaked out. "Note to self don't get on her bad side again."
"Good, now lets go." Said a still angry Sakura.
Sakura then gets up slowly along with Sasuke and Sai. She then commands Sasuke to move his left foot with her right foot. She then commands Sai to move his right foot with her left. After a few minutes the three make it to the tree.
"Okay this is going to be tricky so let's take are time and get this right. I don't want to die because you two were so impatient." Commanded Sakura
"Right." Stated both boys.
Anko while watching the three trained noticed how forceful Sakura can be if given the right motivation.
"Interesting, she has the brains to be a chunin already. Just hope she has the skills to back up the brains." Said Anko to herself.
After several failed attempts at climbing the tree, Sakura forced the two boys to stop and analyze their attempts. She knows the problem was that the three of them had different control over their chakra. Thinking back to their lessons on chakra manipulation theory in the academy, which Sakura did as an extra credit assignment.
"Okay you two since were not getting anywhere with are different levels in chakra control we're going to have to work together and help each other control each others chakra to even out the difference." Stated Sakura
"And how are we going to do that?" asked Sasuke
"Easy we just mix are spiritual and physical energies that we use for chakra together, instead of mixing chakra itself together." Stated Sakura
"Is that even possible?" asked Sai
"Theoretically yes, number of successes so far none." Answered Sakura
"We can't do any worse. I say we try it." Said Sasuke
"I agree." Said Sai
Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai started to mix their spiritual and physical energies together and then mix them to make chakra. What they forgot was that the different amounts of each separate energy they used throws the balance of chakra off. Their result was a backlash of chakra that sent them flying back several feet.
"Okay that didn't work." Stated Sakura "I think we each need to send in a set amount of each energy so that we can get the right proportions of physical and spiritual energy. To mix are chakra."
Sai and Sasuke each put out different amounts of energy. Sakura sensing the difference focuses her energy into leveling out the amount of power used. Sasuke and Sai feel another spiritual energy and physical energy trying to level out their energy allow her go guide their energy to even it out. They then proceed with Sakura as the medium to mix their energy to create chakra.
"Hey I think its working." Stated Sakura
"Stay focused Sakura." Said Sasuke
"Right." Replied Sakura
Meanwhile Anko was watching them as they worked.
"Not bad and they got to prove an untested theory at the same time. Maybe they've gotten better then I thought." Thought Anko
After several hours of training the three dropped to the ground exhausted. Sakura was resting on the ground panting from all the work. Sasuke and Sai were panting just as hard only they were both on one knee and bent over. Anko noticed that the two boys were looking at Sakura breathing and not realizing that they were staring at her flat chest so intensely. Anko decided that since they were able to finish the exercise to give them a break since most chunin wouldn't have been able to attempt the training for them.
"Alright you maggots that was actually decent for rookies. Now go get washed up I don't want to smell the three of you when you get back the lake's over their I expect the three of you to be at the house by dinner time." Commanded Anko, she then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Sakura following orders went to a secluded part of the lake to bath. After stripping naked and diving into the lake Anko secretly steals Sakura's clothes leaving her with only her bra and panties. Sasuke strips his clothes and dives into the lake wearing only his boxers. Sai on the other hand strips butt naked and dives into the lake. After twenty minutes in the lake the three use their chakra to dry off all the water on their bodies. Sasuke takes a few minutes longer since he needed to dry his boxers. All of a sudden Sasuke and Sai hear Sakura scream. Both forgetting the stated of undress, rush over to were Sakura was. Sakura meanwhile was frantic in looking for her clothes.
"Guys my clothes where stolen." Yelled Sakura
"Is that all? Here I'll give you my shirt just return it later tonight." Said Sasuke, who was blushing from the sight of Sakura wearing a slight damp pair of panties and an equally damp sports bra. Sasuke then decides to leave and get his and Sai's clothes not realizing that Sai was naked.
Sai on the other hand walks up to Sakura as she was looking in some bushes. Sakura not knowing that Sai was behind her turns to get up only to find her mouth filled with something warm and hard. Realizing what just entered her mouth, Sakura pulls her mouth out before anything else happened. Sai, who no longer felt the warms around his tool looked at Sakura expecting her to continue. He remembers reading a manual on girls and how if girls just wearing only their underwear were near a guy that was near or naked, then the girl would automatically pleasure the man. Unknown to him the books he read on interacting with girls was actually a several different copies of Icha Icha Paradise.
"BLAH!!! YOU PERVERT!!! HOW DARE YOU STICK THAT THING IN MY MOUTH?" yelled Sakura "AND WHY ARE YOU NAKED PUT SOME CLOTHES ON YOU PERVERT."
Sakura then knocks Sai to the floor. She the traps him with her legs in a mounted position. Sai thinking she just wanted to change positions just sits there expecting her to continue her service. Sakura on the other hand pulls back her fist and starts to pummel Sai. After four minutes of fast pace pummeling Sakura sits down on Sai body not realizing that he's naked and that her butt is near his fully standing soldier. Sasuke still looking for his clothes and Sai's finds a note that was hidden in a genjutsu. After reading the note from Anko, Sasuke get mad and storms over to tell Sakura what happened. Upon returning to Sakura and Sai's location he sees Sakura mounted on top of Sai, sweating and panting from exhaustion. Jumping to a jealous conclusion, Sasuke pulls Sakura away from Sai and lifts Sai with his other hand.
"What the hell are you doing to Sakura you sick bastard?" asked Sasuke in a threatening voice.
"What we do is none of your business, Dickless." Replied Sai
Sakura having recovered her strength pummeling Sai looks at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, where are yours and Sai's clothes?" she asked.
"Anko-sensei thought it would be funny if we returned near naked or in this trash's case completely naked." Replied Sasuke
"What??? She can't be serious." Said Sakura
"Afraid she is, so what are we going to do? We can't just use the transformation technique, since were all low on chakra." Said Sasuke, who finally let go of Sai.
"We have no other option, we'll have to head back to the house in what were wearing." Said Sai, who now could talk since Sasuke let go of his throat.
"Fine lets go and you stay away from me Sai." Commanded Sakura.
As all three walked to the house, they meet up with Anko outside.
"So how'd you like the trip back? Must have been a rather freeing experience." Asked Anko "Here are your clothes. Put them on before you enter the house."
Anko then retreated back into the house. Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai got dressed and walked into the house for dinner.
The Next Day
Outside Northern Wave Country Border
"So this is the place lets get the Brat and lets go I don't want to be in this hick town any longer then needed." Said Kakuzu
"Just shut up, you can get the body of Kakashi Hatake after I finish my ritual on him." Said Hidan
"That is ill-advised. We are here for Nine-Tails, nothing else. If you get in the way of the mission then I will kill the two of you." said Itachi
"Hahaha, Itachi you hilarious." Laughed Kisame.
"The warning goes for you too, Kisame." Said Itachi
"Who the hell made him leader of the group." Whispered Kakuzu
"The Leader made the decision." Said Itachi, who got behind Kakuzu and Hidan.
"Ahh, don't do that." yelled a started Kakuzu
"Then get better at detecting a person instead of complaining, Kakuzu, you may be more experienced then me, but you are far weaker then I am." Stated Itachi "Now lets go the Naruto is near by if we hurry we can get him before he meets up with Kakashi."
Outside Western Wave Border
"Interesting four Akatsuki member are in the area, this should be more fun then I expected." Thought a woman wearing a standard ANBU cloak. "I guess they found out I was being sent to kill the nine-tailed demon's vessel. Oh well, I get to have more fun this way."
Tazuna's Bridge
"What the hell happened here?" asked a panicked Tazuna
"Well, well look who finally showed up." Said Zabuza
"I see your feeling better since getting help for the Hunter-ninja next to you." said Kakashi
"This time is different from the last Kakashi. I know now how to counter your Sharingan Eye. So you've lost this fight." Said Zabuza as he and Kakashi starred at each other
"Water Style: Water SharkBomb Missle." Shouted out person.
Both sides jump out of the way with Tazuna being dragged by Sasuke and Sai.
"Who's there show yourself?" Commanded Zabuzu
"Well, well if it isn't the shrimp of the Mist." Taunted the attacker.
"That voice!!! Kisame what are you doing hear?" yelled Zabuza
"I'm here on a mission to look for something." Stated Kisame "Now be a good little boy and stay out of my way."
"Like hell I will! You attack me out of no where." Yelled Zabuza
"It appears are target will be arriving soon." Said Itachi
"I know that voice." Thought Sasuke "ITACHI UCHIHA!!!"
Sasuke charges at Itachi with a kunai in his hand. He goes for a forward lunge with the kunai. Itachi, using his Sharingan Eye shifts to the left to let the kunai sail past him with out getting hit. He then knees Sasuke in the stomach and backhands him to Kakashi.
"It seem that you haven't gotten any better little brother." Stated Itachi
"Cough…Cough… I've hated you since that day, I won't give up not when you're so close and I can finally fulfill my revenge. I've trained day and night for this day. I will kill you and avenge my family." Stated an injured Sasuke.
"You will not be able to kill anyone with how weak you truly are." Said Itachi in a calm tone of voice.
Sasuke starts to get furious over how Itachi is disregarding him that he unlocks a hidden power within himself. Using that power he breaks free from Itachi and attacks him head on. Itachi not expecting that much power from Sasuke is caught off guard and jumps back way from Sasuke.
"I see you have a hidden power that no one of the Uchiha Clan has seen before and without your Sharingan either. I must say I am impressed Sasuke." Said Itachi "But is that going to be enough to?"
Sasuke hearing his brother's words to him grew even furious with Itachi. Sasuke then throws several kunai and shuriken at Itachi. Itachi dodges all the kunai and shuriken and appears behind Sasuke. Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu just stand watching the battle continue. Kakashi, Anko, and Iruka just stare at the power that is being unleashed. The two jounin having known were Sasuke's power was coming from prepare to restrain Sasuke before he can do any real damage to himself.
"I am an avenger, I will not stop until you are dead!" yelled Sasuke as he charges Itachi with newfound speed. He goes for a heel kick to the head, followed by a spin kick to the face. Itachi dodges the combination and backhands Sasuke to ten feet away from him. Sasuke gets up only to find Itachi in front of him. Itachi kicks Sasuke sending him back all the way to Kakashi and the rest. Sasuke struggles to stand up after the two hits from his brother while still putting out a strong amount of chakra.
Meanwhile…
"What type of chakra is that? It feels powerful, deadly even. I'd better hurry I can't let anyone die." Thought Naruto as he increased his speed to the bridge. "I just hope I can get there in time like I did for Inari."
Back to the Bridge…
"Hey, hey that's a lot of chakra he's putting out. To think he has almost as much chakra as me." Said Kisame
"Just hurry this up Itachi." Yelled Kakuzu "Its getting boring."
"My ritual is complete all I need is for a sacrifice to show itself." Said Hidan
Before Itachi attacks, he is forced to jump out of the way from thousands of senbon needles.
"Shadow Senbon Storm Jutsu!!!" called out a voice "Well, well we meet again Itachi."
The area that Itachi was standing in now had a woman wearing a dark blue miniskirt, with a pale red shirt with a vest similar to a jounin's vest.
"Hikari, It has been a long time." Stated Itachi. "It's not often you see a rouge ninja from the Hidden Twilight Village."
"It's nothing personal, but I have to kill your target. Orders from my bosses." Said Hikari
"So your bosses are Diamond Dusk are they?" asked Itachi
"Now you know I don't give information out so freely." Said Hikari "And I see this time you came with friends. Some S-rank missing ninjas from various hidden villages. I must say I am impressed. Makes me think you and your little friends could give me a challenge."
"I'll show you a challenge you bitch!!!" yelled Kakuzu.
"You will be paying for that comment." Said Kisame as he pulled out his massive blade.
"Who cares I'll use her for my sacrifice to appease my lord." Said Hidan.
"Don't underestimate her she's a formidable opponent." Said Itachi as he got into a fighting stance.
"Che… to easy." Said Hikari " You should know that the my name is Hikari for a reason. Its because I as fast as the speed of light." Hikari then disappears from view and kicks Hidan out of his circle. She then set an explosive note on the ground in the center of the circle and detonated the circle. Hidan who was now out of the circle couldn't believe what had just happened. She then sliced Hidan's head off his body.
"One down three to go." Stated Hikari
"Kakuzu get my body to my head right now." Yelled Hidan
"Forget it! You lost your head to fast for this fight now your going to have to deal with it. I bet she has a nice bounty on her head. Oh well nothing I can't handle." Said Kakuzu
"Kakuzu, Kisame keep your guard up. She was only toying with Hidan." Stated Itachi
Kisame hears this smiles and goes to attack Hikari with a forward slash. Hikari dodges to the left and sends a quick jab to the Kisame. Kisame dodges to the side and attacks Hikari with a straight punch to the head. Hikari dodges to the left and pulls out two kunais. She then attacks Kisame using the kunais with chakra to extend the blade to that of a sword. Kisame sees the kunai blocks it with his sword. Sadaheme starts to eat the chakra that is being focused into Hikari's kunais. Hikari sees this and jumps back so her chakra won't be eaten. Kakuzu using Hikari's retreat from Kisame send a three-element attack toward Hikari's landing point. Hikari upon landing sees a dome of earth encase enough to leave her only to move forward to dodge any attack. Before she could move she finds herself staring at a combination of water and lightning coming at her. Hikari sees this decides to use a wind jutsu to block the attack and send it back at Kakuzu. Kakuzu not expecting one of his triple attacks to be blocked so easily by someone, rushes forward to attack with a fire and wind based attack. Hikari seeing Kakuzu move in closer decides to end her fun and disappear from Kakuzu's sight. Hikari then appears behind Kakuzu with a sword in her hand in a finished strike position.
Meanwhile…
"Who are these people Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura as she watched the ninjas attack one woman.
"I don't really know them that well. I only recognize Itachi Uchiha, and Kisame Hoshigake. Two S-Class Rouge-ninjas haling from the Hidden Leaf and Hidden Mist respectively." Said Kakashi as he watch with his headband lifted to show the sharingan.
"This fight is going to be intense even I'm not that reckless as to fight a battle of this size." Said Anko
"I think it would be best if we made a retreat for now." Said Iruka.
"Good idea, we aren't even close to that level of battle here. Well all but Kakashi maybe." Said Anko
"No against all of them I would not survive even with Sharingan." Said Kakashi "But I do sense a strong chakra coming this way."
"That's just probably Naruto late when its important." Said Anko "I'll have to punish him for that when we get back to the village."
"Going some where? Leaf-scum." Said Zabuza
"What the hell is going on here Zabuza. I paid you good money to kill the old fool and I come to see him still a live." Said a nasty old voice.
"This is our fight Gato so stay out of our way." Said Zabuza
"Now I can't let you do that Zabuza, you've failed to many times for me to count recently. My men are going to have to kill all of you. Including the freaks in the black cloaks with the red clouds." Said Gato. "The woman in the tan cloak could be some fun for my men before they kill her though."
Hikari while battling Itachi, Kakuzu, and Kisame overheard Gato's comment about her. She flashed out of the area and landed behind Gato. Gato not being able to react fast enough found himself without both arms and falling to the ground with both legs cut off.
"No one talks about me like I'm some slut. I'll have you know I'm still a virgin waiting for the man of my dreams to be my first." Said the steeled voice of Hikari
Hikari then sliced Gato's head off him and turned to the group of thugs. She took out her sword from under her cloak and swung it at the group of thugs. The group of thugs stood there for several seconds before all, but several died from being decapitated.
"That's for all the women you scum have defiled and killed." Said Hikari as she sheathed her sword.
Itachi having restored Hidan's body to his head looked at Hikari in anger. Hidan grabbed hold of his three bladed scythe started to systematically attack different locations on the bridge.
"Hey dumbass what the hell are you doing she's over there now stop destroying the stupid bridge!" yelled Kakuzu.
"Let him be Kakuzu I like these odds already." Said an excited Kisame.
"He has his own plan so he'll be able to handle himself." Said Itachi
Meanwhile…
"Damn it of all times to need to use the bathroom." Cursed Naruto
With the Leaf and Missing-Mist Ninjas…
"Hmm… it appears our fight is no longer needed. Now that Gato is dead." Said Zabuza.
"It appears so Zabuza-sensei." Said the Hunter-ninja.
"Then how about we let those guys fight each other to the death and get the hell out of here." Said Iruka.
"With ninjas of this high caliber we would be hard pressed to get away from them." Stated Zabuza
"What can we do?" asked Sakura.
"I'm not to sure." Answered Kakashi
With Hidan…
"Just need a little more time until its finished." thought Hidan
The Battle…
Hikari charges at Kakuzu with a different sword then the one she used against Gato and his men. She ducks under Kakuzu's jutsu and strikes him in the shoulder. Hikari then jumps away from Kakuzu after striking him with her sword. Kakuzu finding what the attack did instantly takes a kunai and stabs himself in the same spot and cuts out a glowing heart. He then throws it toward Hikari. Hikari starts sealing a jutsu uses an earth jutsu to incase the half of the heart and funnel the explosion that the heart made right at Kakuzu. Kakuzu seeing the blast of energy jumps to avoid the blast. Kisame using a water jutsu to create a tsunami wave washes Hikari into the water under the bridge. Kisame uses four water clones to create a four-layer water prison to trap Hikari. Hikari realizes her mistake in taking the four so lightly smiles. Kisame sees her smiling frowns at her. He then takes his Sadaheme to crush and shave her to death, finds himself not being able to move.
"Your probably wondering why you can't move to finish me off, am I right?" stated Hikari "Well you and your friends should be happy I am going to have to take you four seriously from now on."
"What the hell did you do?" said a struggling Kisame
"Easy a did a multi-layer paralysis jutsu to with my eyes. That's my "bloodline" similar to your partner's." Answered Hikari
"I believe that is enough Hikari." Said Itachi as he held a kunai under her throat.
"I believe the fight has just begun." Said Hikari as she exploded from within the water prison jutsus.
"What's wrong? Shocked I could break that jutsu so easily." Taunted Hikari "You three should realize that my powers can rival that a tailed beast. Which one you wonder I'll never tell."
Hikari then cast a several jutsus in succession first sending a fireball jutsu and then using a wind bullet to increase the power and size of the fireball jutsu to hit Itachi. She then used a water dragon and combined it with a lightning shark jutsu to hit Kisame who was on the water.
Kisame and Itachi seeing the two jutsus went to cross each other's path to dodge the attacks. With both jutsus hit each other they cancelled out with a large explosion. Unknown to them their was another wind scythe justu with icy star jutsu being sent in their direction.
Meanwhile…
"Man that feels better." Said Naruto as he washed his hands in a stream he found. "Now I better get to the bridge."
Back at the Battle…
Itachi seeing the combination jutsu kicks Kisame to the left as he dodged to the right. Kisame not expecting his own teammate to kick him takes Sadaheme and thrust it toward Itachi. Right before he hits Itachi, Sadaheme is frozen from the combination attack. Kisame upon seeing this wills his sword to eat the chakra that forges the ice. Hikari knows that attacking all of them at random will waste time that she could be using to kill the demon vessel in the area. Hikari decides to finish them fast by making three Light Clones to attack three of the four Akatsuki members.
Hidan by this time had finished destroying parts of the bridge. He looks up to see that Hikari had just made three clones. He charges at Hikari with his scythe in hand.
"Take this you bitch!!!" yelled Hidan as he swung his weapon at Hikari who was distracted in giving commands to her clones. Hikari dodges the attack but gets a cut on her forearm. She then attacks Hidan and forces him to slice a part of his tongue off.
"THYOU THBITCH!!!" yelled Hidan "THNOW THYOU THBIE!!!"
Hidan attacks Hikari forcing her to retreat from his wild movements. Itachi meanwhile faces off against one of her clones and kills it using Amateratsu. Kisame imprisons the clone he's facing with twelve water clones being used to cast a water prison jutsu. He then proceeds to kill the clone by using an imploding water prison jutsu. Kakuzu meanwhile is having a hard time killing his clone.
"Damn it!!! Hold still so I can kill you." yelled Kakuzu.
"Please if I did that I would have to be stupider then even you are." Taunted the clone.
Kakuzu uses every elemental affinity that he has left and fires different jutsus at once. He then sends several combinations that he had at the clone. The clone finds out that she doesn't have enough chakra to escape and is destroyed before it could change.
"Your clones are destroyed." Stated Itachi
"But you and your little friends are almost out of chakra." Replied Hikari
"Same could be said to you too." Shot back Itachi
Hikari and Itachi look each other in the eye with a scold on their faces.
"I bet you wish you had enough to use your Mangekyou Sharingan." Taunted Hikari
"You would be surprised." Said Itachi as his Sharingan eye morphed into a new from.
Elsewhere…
"I found you!!!" yelled large white haired man.
"What are you doing here? And what ever it is I won't help. I did my part I have no reason to help you." said a blond haired woman
"It does when it concerns your past or more specifically who would want to desecrated it." Said the man.
"What are you talking about?" asked the woman
"I'll explain on the way. But we have to hurry." Said the man
"Fine then pay my debt here." Said the woman with her fist raised.
"Fine I'll pay the debt now let go." Said the man in defeat.
Battle Field…
"Finally I made it. What's going on?" thought Naruto as he finally arrived.
"Tsukuyomi." Stated Itachi "Now for the next three days you will feel unparallel pain."
"Please you think that little parlor trick will work on me. Don't forget my special power you will be frozen in that one spot for just as long." Said Hikari "Wow I really did use up to much chakra I guess I'll have to finish my mission fast."
Hikari then leaped away from Itachi and charges at a blinding toward Naruto.
"NARUTO GET DOWN!!!" yelled Iruka.
"AHH!!!" yelled Naruto as he dived to the ground just in time to avoid getting slice in half from Hikari's sword.
"I missed this time but I won't let you dodge the next one." Stated Hikari
"Chidori!!!" yelled Kakashi as he appeared behind Hikari striking her from the back.
"Nice try there, but you'll have to better then that if you want to be able to hit me." Said Hikari "Now before I waste anymore chakra bye-bye."
Hikari then pulls out her sword from under her cloak. She flashes behind Naruto and time slows down as she goes for the strike. Naruto is turning at the slower speed to try and see her before she move in for the kill. Just as the sword is about to hit him, several snakes wrapping around the sword and arms of Hikari save Naruto.
"Heh.eh.eh looks like we are having some fun here." Said a woman wearing a white jacket and a straw hat.
"Who are you?" questioned Hikari
"Just someone that needs the boy alive." Said the woman
