Kuroda opened her eyes; the room was dark and had a stale musty smell. She had a bag over her head, which had eyeholes cut into it.
There was clicking noise on the right side of the room, it sounded like a lock being opened. It was. There was a creaking noise and then the sound of footsteps; Kuroda struggled to look at the approaching human but the way her hands were tied made it impossible.
"Don't worry" The approaching man said. "The guys who paid me to do this said if I hurt you they wouldn't pay me."
Kuroda looked down, as best she could, "Tell me stomach that!" She yelled.
The sand ninja smirked, "You were simply too dangerous. Your still alive aren't you?"
The door clicked again, another man entered. The sand ninja got up and stood back. A tall man in a robe with red clouds on it strode into her arc of vision. Kuroda struggled to look up. "Minawa! I thought I told you not to hurt her!"
"Sir. She struggled, she cut me!" Minawa was defending himself.
The man in the clouded cloak laughed. "She is strong, and you chose not to believe me. It's not my fault. But I did say I wanted her unharmed! You could hardly say that now."
Minawa started muttering incoherently to himself about fairness. The man in the cloak turned round and walked towards Minawa. "Do you know what your life is worth to me? You are a insignificant beetle compared to her!" He said gesturing in Kuroda's direction.
"Sir. I am sorry and it will not happen again." Minawa grumbled. "I am sure it will not happen again Minawa." The man said placing his hand on Minawa's shoulder. "I am taking this woman with me and I will send in a subordinate with your money." The man turned and removed his dagger, he walked over to Kuroda and knelt down, he cut her wrists loose. He stood back up, "Follow me!" he ordered. She didn't feel like disobeying.
As they were leaving, the man who was escorting her walked up to another similarly dressed man, his hat was pulled low and she could not see his face. Kuroda felt she had met him before.
They walked past him as he turned Kuroda noticed just under the brim of his hat, those eyes. That was the man who had taken Nakashima away. I must be near him now.
In the room Kuroda had just left, the agitated sand ninja paced back and forth. When he heard the door click he looked up alertly. "Finally!" He began. The door had swung open and no one was there. "What the hell…" Minawa shouted
Suddenly out of nowhere there was a knife pressed against his neck, it began to trickle blood.
"The leader was not happy with your performance!" The cloaked assailant said.
"What you think you honestly hurt me?" Minawa scoffed. Suddenly he vanished.
Itachi stood back and sighed. Suddenly out of nowhere, three shuriken rushed towards him. He simply sidestepped them. Suddenly the whole room exploded.
The man with the red eyes caught up with the Kuroda and her escort. Kuroda, no matter how hard she tried could not remember this mans name.
"Its all taken care off." The man said calmly
"Well done Itachi!" The robed man, of who's Kuroda had seen nothing.
Itachi…that was it, I will remember that name forever now.
Itachi.
