My eyes close around me as my heart begins to sink. The darkness is eerie in the familiar night. Why would I be afraid? I am basically nocturnal and nothing will stop me. Not until I achieve my dream. My fist closed together as my mind is no longer clear. My breathing was abnormal as I felt my lungs start to collapse.
"Not…again," I mutter as I hold my head in my hands, "Not now…" My hands turn into fists as I helplessly fall in a heap. "Why? Why me?" My heart is racing but suddenly it slowed until it had almost stopped. I looked into the moonlit lake that was in front of me as I fell to my knees. My eyes glowed red as chakra freely flowed around me.
"Asami-chan! Asami-chan!" Keiichi called as he ran behind me.
"Go away older brother," I ordered. Keiichi, my older brother approached, his pure black hair shining in the dim light. He was much taller than me and he was just under twice my age.
"Asami, Shizuka is looking for you in the main house with the third," Keiichi said.
"I said go away," I screamed as I put both my hands on the ground.
"Asami, Shizuka says it's of importance and your role in our clan," Keiichi said as he held my shoulder. My arms began to shake as I gripped the grass. A slight twinkle of fire appeared but I blew it out before Keiichi could see. Keiichi sighed. "If you cannot come back by yourself then I will have to carry you," Keiichi sighed as he grabbed me by the waist.
"Older brother! Put me down!" I started yelling and thrashing my arms and legs around to break free.
"You're in a bad mood today. Worse than usual," Keiichi laughed as he held me over his shoulder. I moved my hands quickly, trying to remember the movements I had read in the clan's library.
"Matsuda seal," I yelled as I dug my nails into his left shoulder. Keiichi opened his mouth wide as he dropped me and fell to his knees. I landed flat on my feet. Keiichi looked at me with wide eyes and started to struggle breathing.
"Little sister…you can use the…" Keiichi spluttered. I started to run far away.
"Damn it. Damn it! Why me?" I asked as I ran as far away as possible with tears streaming down my face.
"Asami!" I heard Keiichi yell as he ran towards me. I looked behind me but Keiichi was nowhere to be seen. I turned in front of me and saw Keiichi standing there, grabbing me tightly before I fell flat on my face. He smiled at me but I couldn't think of anything else but what I had done. "Asami, there is no need to be ashamed if you can use the Matsuda seal," Keiichi smiled, "come on, lets go to Shizuka and tell her of the new skill…" I shook my head. I tried to move away but he held my arm. I could feel the blood dripping from his arm as if it was dripping from my own.
"I can't," I stuttered. The wind blew past my face. Keiichi gave a puzzled look.
"Why not Asami? There has been no one who has been able to use the Matsuda seal in over 300 years and you can and you are merely 12 years old," Keiichi asked.
"Because in an hour, you will be dead. The only people who can take it off is someone who can use the seal and I-I…"Asami said, "I have to leave Konoha…"
"Why Asami? Why do you have to leave?" Keiichi asked holding my shoulders. I looked away, staring at a little blue bird that couldn't fly. A charge of chakra left my hand and went straight into the bird instantly killing it. " Where are you going Asami?" Keiichi asked as shook my shoulder.
"I am not like you! I am different. Haven't you noticed the people staring at me like I am a monster? Haven't you noticed that I am not like anyone else in this clan?" I started to yell. Keiichi kneeled down and held my chin, turning it so he could look into my eyes.
"What are you talking about? The clan looks at you the same way as they look at me," Keiichi said as he tried to smile.
"Don't be an idiot older brother! You do know the way the clan looks at me, the way the clan speaks about me. Shizuka is waiting with the third to talk to you about me leaving the village because the clan isn't safe while I am around. I am not the same as you," I yelled as I slapped him across the face. I began to run again as far away as possible. I didn't turn my head as streams of tears ran down my face. I continued to run, my eyes closed from the water that was still sitting around them. I ran into a man's chest, not realising whom it was as I edged away from the village. He put his arms around me, hugging me until the sobbing stopped. I looked up at his pale white face and fell to my knees. I looked up at his slitted eyes and I wasn't scared.
"Asami, Have you chosen to come with me yet?" the man asked. I nodded and wiped the tears from my eyes. "Good my child. Shall we go to your uncle and the rest of your new family?" the man asked. His voice was eerie as he licked his lips. We began to walk through the dark night as the breeze caressed around the tears in my clothing from training.
"Orochimaru-sama…" I stuttered. The man looked at me.
"Yes what is it, Asami-san?" Orochimaru asked.
"Where is Anko-chan?" I asked. I saw a smile tug on Orochimaru's lips bringing shivers down my cold spine.
"She had to go back to Konoha. Were you able to use 'it'?" Orochimaru asked. He was the same as always. Only worried about power.
"Yes Orochimaru-sama," I said as I bowed my head and looked at my clothes. I wore black three quarter pants and a purple top with purple netting that covered it. Orochimaru looked at my shaking body and began to laugh. Although his speech somewhat reminded me of a female's, he was most definitely the most scary and powerful person I know. Although Itachi's power was similar to Orochimaru's own. He threw a something at me and I caught it in my hands. It was black and longer than I expected. It was a jacket as I pulled it over my shoulders and looked at it as it reached to my ankles.
"Did you get rid of your foolish brother?" Orochimaru asked. I nodded once.
"That is who I used 'it' on," I muttered. I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Well done my child…"I sat up slowly as I felt the pain I had endured fade.
Why is this one harder than the rest? Why can't I control her as easily? I thought to myself. I looked at the somewhat familiar surroundings. Where did I lead myself yesterday so I could contact Hinata-sama? It dawned on me. I walked a few steps out of the trees and saw a lake that was almost dyed blood red. I looked into the water examining the reflection that came. All I could see was Orochimaru's face in the water. I bit my thumb and placed it on the ground as I looked at my little black kitten I had summoned. I stroked it gently as I looked at the reflection the lake remained to show. The kitten lapped up some of the water in its tongue and the reflection disappeared. I put and envelope in the kitten's mouth as it turned its head on the side.
"Take it to Hinata-sama and then return to me once she takes it from you," I said stroking its soft, delicate coat. The kitten purred and looked at me with its abnormally blue eyes. "Go on Yukiko," I said stroking her one more before turning back to the lake. This time I saw a different person in the lake. My heart skipped several beats as I felt my limbs start to shake. I leaned forward on my hands, as I looked at the refection a lot better. The young man, just older than myself stared back at me. I looked at the same blue eyes and black hair that was familiar. The black pants and vest that he had received in becoming a chunin. I slammed my fist on the ground and rolled onto my back. "Damn it Orochimaru-sama! You dirty bastard!" I swore as I sat down, crossing my legs and closing my eyes.
Hinata POV
I noticed a black cat on my window sill that had some sort of envelope in its mouth. I pulled it out of the cat's mouth and stroked it while I looked at the front. It was addressed to Tsunade as expected. I slipped out the doorway and ran down the hall, quickly moving so I wasn't seen. I ran through out the building and jumped onto the roof of the building beside it. I jumped from building to building until I reached the window beside Tsunade's office. I climbed through because there was no one inside. It had been vacant for a while. I walked into the hallway and knocked gently on Tsunade's door. I opened the door slowly and looked inside but no one was there. I slipped inside and closed the door behind me. I quickly placed the envelope on Tsunade's desk and looked around. I could hear Tsunade yelling just outside the door. Without thought, I opened the window and jumped out onto another building then continued to jump from building to building until I reached the top of the hospital. I felt something unusual come over me as my head began to spin. I put my left hand against my forehead as I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
Hinata-sama, let me borrow your body so I can bring you to me, Asami's voice rang in my head. My legs began to walk and my body sat, though I wasn't the one controlling it. Kiba stepped out of the stairway and stopped.
"Hinata, you're meant to be in bed," Kiba said as he walked towards me. My body stood and walked towards him.
Stop walking! I said stop! I pleaded in my head but my body didn't obey. My mouth opened and began to speak. "Hey there handsome," was the words that rolled off my tongue in a stuttering babble.
Ahh! Get out! Get out! Get out! I pleaded again.
"Are you okay Hinata?" Kiba asked as he stopped two centimetres from my face.
"I am fine now you're here Kiba-kun," my mouth muttered as my finger sat on Kiba's chest.
"You are meant to be inside. Kurenai sensei has us running left right and centre to find you," Kiba said pushing my finger away.
"Until someone stops training or finishes what they have to do, I am alone. It's better to come outside and breathe in some fresh air," My mouth said moving closer to Kiba. Get out of my head Asami. If you don't get out I swear I will kill you, I tried to threaten. My right hand came up to my head and rubbed it..
"Hinata, you should get back inside," Kiba said, grabbing my arm.
"Come on, please Kiba-kun. Just a little bit longer," the words said as the rolled from my mouth. I held Kiba's hand in mine and Kiba frowned.
"Hinata, you aren't acting normal. Are you sure you are okay?" Kiba asked.
"I haven't felt better in a long time," my mouth muttered as my body was right against his. My lips touched his as I felt like screaming in horror. His body was warm as my arms wrapped around his shoulders. Kiba put his arms around my body as his body seemed even warmer now we were pressed together. Asami, when I get my hands on you I swear I will tear you in half. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT! I screamed in my head. Pain slowly entered my arm again as I was slowly regaining control over my body. The most I could move by my own will was my right elbow which didn't prove much use.
"Hinata, you should really get inside. Neji is waiting for one little thing to happen so he can kill me," Kiba said pulling away slowly. My hands drew back from each other on his back and held his hands.
"I would never let him touch you," my mouth muttered as I kissed him again, "I just need to go somewhere quickly…" My legs moved and jumped from the hospital roof and ran into the trees just outside Konoha. My footsteps were a slight uneasy.
"Hinata!" Kiba yelled as he followed. I looked around the area, examining the fog around me. My right arm began to shake as I fell to my knees. Asami's presence in my mind disappeared as her body appeared out from the shadows.
"I am going to kill you. I swear, if you don't take this off, I will kill you," I muttered.
"Poor Hinata. Before I take it off, I want to play a little game…"
"Shizune, get Jaraiya!" Tsunade said as she put her hands on the table. Shizune nodded and ran as fast as she could. After Shizune left, Kakashi entered.
"Mission complete and successful," Kakashi said as he stood in front of the desk. There was an eerie silence for a moment.
"Summon Pakkun," Tsunade said.
"What?" Kakashi asked stepping backwards.
"Summon Pakkun now," Tsunade commanded.
"Why?" Kakashi asked, instantly confused.
"Because if you don't, I am going to run around Konoha screaming because a missing ninja that has been presumed dead for 8 years is back and controlling one of my kunoichi," Tsunade said quickly as she slapped her hands on the table, cracking it down the middle. Kakashi bit his thumb and grabbed her hand, summoning Pakkun on her palm.
"Hello Tsunade," the little dog said. Kakashi leaned over Pakkun's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"She's in a bad mood today," Kakashi warned. Tsunade pushed Kakashi's head into the table.
"Pakkun, I need you to find Hinata," Tsunade said.
"Hinata? Did they take Hinata Hyuuga?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes," Tsunade said. Jaraiya sat in the window behind Tsunade's back. Tsunade turned and punched the wall just beside Jaraiya leaving a huge crack that could almost show light through the other side.
"Stressed much?" Jaraiya asked.
"Get Naruto out of Konoha for a week or two," Tsunade said.
"What now?" Jaraiya asked.
"Not only Kisame and Itachi are back looking for Naruto…" Tsunade sighed as she leaned on her fist, "Asami is after the byuakugan…"
"Asami?" Jaraiya asked looking up trying to picture a female missing ninja but all that came up was his latest 'research'. Tsunade slapped him across the face and he grabbed the outside of the window so he didn't fall backwards.
"Asami Matsuda," Tsunade said, "and because it was the nine tailed fox that killed her family, she will try and kill Naruto if he gets in the way…" A slightly modified version of Asami produced itself in Jaraiya's mind.
"So you are going looking for Asami by yourself?" Kakashi asked, crossing him arms.
"No. You and Kurenai along with Asuma if he meets up with us on the way back from his mission will be coming," Tsunade explained.
"Ok. And this is a C - B rank mission," Kakashi said.
"No. A to an S rank mission," Tsunade said.
"Why A rank?" Jaraiya asked.
"If you don't hurry up and get Naruto I will push you out of that window so fast you will hit the ground before you can summon one of your frogs," Tsunade threatened, "The Matsuda clan originate from the village hidden in the sound and quite frankly, Asami's uncle worked for Orochimaru…"
"It's nice to have a chat but if this Asami person is really after Hinata's byuakugan we should get going before anything happens," Pakkun said.
"Lead the way Pakkun. Oh and Jaraiya, if Naruto gets hurt by Asami, I am blaming it on you because you have failed to do your duties," Tsunade threatened. She left the room after Pakkun.
"She is scary when she is stressed out," Kakashi said.
"Wait until she is angry," Jaraiya said as he disappeared from the window and Kakashi followed Tsunade.
Akamaru ran through the halls of the hospital looking for anyone who could understand him. He crashed into Pakkun and he noticed Kurenai, Kakashi and Tsunade talking.
"Arff! Arff!" Akamaru barked.
"Hello up there," Pakkun said, waving a paw in the air, "Akamaru here says that Hinata was acting weird and then she ran into the trees outside Konoha and Kiba was chasing after her…" Kakashi sighed.
"Shit," Tsunade swore to herself, "Akamaru, work with Pakkun and help us find them…" Akamaru gave a slight yelp to agree. They followed the two dogs through the town until they reached the outside gate.
"Akamaru, how long was it ago that Hinata left?" Pakkun asked.
"A-ruff ruff," Akamaru barked again.
"He said about 10-20 minutes ago," Pakkun said. They hurried along, following the scent that Hinata and Kiba had left behind. They noticed a body on the ground and two other bodies, both standing.
"Kiba!" Kurenai said as she hurried to Kiba's side as Hinata stood beside his body without an expression on her face. The other figure could barely be seen but it stepped from the shadows anyway. It laughed a little before licking its lips in the same fashion that Orochimaru and Anko would.
"Who are you?" Kakashi asked. The woman sighed.
"You don't remember me Kakashi, that's too bad," the female said. She had a shoulder length pony tail and she wore jeans and a black t-shirt. "Maybe this will help you remember who I am," she said clapping her hands together and the blue clothing turned into a deep purple netted top that was on top of a purple boob tube. She also had black leggings that had a bandage on the bottom of the left leg. On top of all the clothes was a black jacket that reached to about two inches above her ankles. Her head was lowered, revealing a plain black headband and blonde hair with copper streaks that reached her hips. "Do you remember me now?" the female asked as she raised her face to reveal pale vampire white skin and deep blue eyes that had slits for pupils that were identical to a cats. She looked spookily like Orochimaru.
"Asami! What do you want with Hinata?" Tsunade asked.
"Well that's a stupid question, I want to add the Byuakugan to my collection," Asami said as 2 other figures appeared behind her, "I now have the sharingan, byuakugan, a bug person and also an Inuzuka along with another 13 people who follow me diligently…"
"Diligently? More like that sealing jutsu you have is controlling them. You could just take the seal off them and see whether they still follow you," Tsunade said.
"You did get me for a while, performing that jutsu on Hinata but Kiba came straight into my lap when he followed her here," Asami said, "Well Hinata-sama. Let's show these guys what I can do with your byuakugan…" Asami stood up and lifted her head and Hinata did the same in the same timing.
"Should I send you a puppet for Christmas so you will stop harming people?" Tsunade asked.
"Byuakugan," Hinata said.
"Obviously not," Tsunade said.
"Tsunade-sama. Let Kakashi and I handle this," Kurenai said. Kakashi lifted his headband off his sharingan eye.
"Since you have two on one I better even out the score, Obito if you please," Asami said as a male figure that looked about the same age as Kakashi.
"Obito?" Kakashi asked.
"Oh, I forgot Kakashi. As a favour from Orochimaru-sama, I was able to save Obito's body and using Orochimaru's techniques, I was able to control his body through the Matsuda seal," Asami said.
"Obito?" Kurenai asked.
"Obito is the one this eye belonged to before I got it," Kakashi said pointing at his sharingan eye.
"I see," Kurenai said as she faced Hinata.
"Hinata, please stop," Kiba said as he tried to move.
"Kiba, stay down," Tsunade said as she rushed to his side.
"There is nothing you can do Tsunade. Hinata blocked of majority of his chakra points," Asami said. Kiba sat up and wearily tried to stand.
"Kiba, sit," Tsunade ordered.
"I may be a Inuzuka but I am not a dog," Kiba said. Asami resisted the temptation of laughing at the pathetic Inuzuka teenager.
"You don't know the story do you?" Asami sighed as Hinata picked Kiba up by the jacket, "Inuzuka's and Matsuda's are sworn enemies and were a part of a war that only ended 15 years ago…" Asami walked up to Hinata as she noticed something near her neck. Kakashi held the kunai to her throat, just touching. Asami began to laugh. "Kakashi, I could permanently make Hinata-sama mine with one movement of my hand," Asami asked turning on her heel ready to attack Kakashi. Kurenai and Tsunade grabbed her arms before she could make any abnormal movements. Their hands felt cold as the held onto Asami's icy cold arms. Asami smirked as she discharged chakra from her body and knocked everyone other than Hinata away. She slapped her hands together in satisfaction. "Now, who wants to do that again?" Asami asked in a voice that sounded like she was talking to a group of 5 year olds. Kiba struggled to his feet. "You're almost as stupid and persistent as…" Asami said as she suddenly stopped.
"You miss him don't you?" Tsunade said, rising to her feet, "There was a third, wasn't there?" Asami slapped her hand backwards making the air vibrate.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," Asami lied. Tsunade smirked.
"There was a third Matsuda who survived, Keiichi, your older brother," Tsunade said.
Asami stood there stunned for a moment, "Keiichi was a jonin who died eight years
ago, the night of you disappearance," Tsunade said, working her way into Asami's
mind. Asami smirked.
"It was that Kyuubi that made my parents die along with everyone in the clan but my
brother, sister and uncle. We set up just outside Konoha before that bastard…" Asami
said as her fist shook furiously.
"Why did you kill him?" Tsunade asked. Asami said.
"That was eight years ago Tsunade, what makes you think that I killed Keiichi?"
Asami asked. Tsunade gave a smile of satisfaction.
"Because you are the only one in the last 300 years who can use the Matsuda seal that
as used on Keiichi," Tsunade said, "release all of your people who are under the seal
and then we can help you…"
"Bull! You will send me off to that jail," Asami swore. Kurenai sighed.
"You could put up with jail or death," Kurenai said, "It's your choice where you
go…" Asami licked her lips.
"You could try and kill me because that would be fun," Asami said fiddling with her
hands.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto's voice called across the forest.
"Naruto, stop! You can't… oh sh…" Jaraiya said as he stopped. Tsunade crossed her arms and tapped her fingers. "Tsunade…" Jaraiya stuttered.
"Didn't I tell you to keep Naruto away from here?" Tsunade growled. Asami's fist started to shake rapidly.
"You…you…" Asami stuttered continuously.
"What?" Naruto asked as she stopped.
"You…" Asami continued to stutter as he fist moved even faster. She threw her fist straight into Naruto's face, knocking him backwards.
"What was that for?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his cheek, "That was worse than Sakura-chan's…" Asami pulled up one of her sleeves.
"Naruto, get out of here," Tsunade said quickly.
"Why?" Naruto asked, looking more like an idiot by the second.
"Because the Kyuubi is the one who killed her parents," Jaraiya explained, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"But what has that got to do with me?" Naruto asked. Kakashi sighed.
"I suppose that even after 2 and a half years you haven't matured much," Tsunade said. Asami's fist was shaking even faster. She threw her fist at the ground letting the ground shake and crumble into dust beneath her. Naruto froze.
"That's stronger than Sakura-chan," Kakashi said. Sakura appeared from the shadows.
"Tsunade-sama…what is going on?" Sakura asked. Tsunade hit her palm against her forehead.
"This is becoming quite a party, too bad all of you won't be leaving," Asami said, cracking her knuckles and licking her lips, "At least not at your own mercy…" Asami stood in a ready stance, looking at Naruto like he was a murderous monster. She threw her fist towards Naruto but found a hand blocking the blow.
"What is with you?" Sakura asked with both hands trying to resist the powerful attack. Asami threw her other fist out and Sakura blocked that too. Asami gave a devilish smile. She squatted and swung her leg underneath Sakura and knocked her off her feet.
"I think I have seen that before," Kurenai muttered. Kakashi looked at Kurenai carefully.
"This is going to be a fight of fists and strength," Tsunade said as she looked at her student.
Asuma looked out ahead before stopping suddenly.
"What is it?" Ino asked. Shikamaru stopped.
"There is massive chakra levels coming from near the village," Shikamaru said, "It's always so troublesome around Tsunade-sama…" Shikamaru started to head in that general direction. Asuma followed along with Ino and Chouji.
"Shikamaru, stop," Asuma said as the chakra got stronger and stronger, "To have chakra levels like that, they have to be close…" Shikamaru sighed.
"Asuma, the chakra levels are coming from over near the edge of Konoha near the hospital," Shikamaru said.
"Actually, wasn't there someone who went to the hospital that was injured somewhere near there," Ino said, "who was it?"
"What do you mean by injured?" Chouji asked, "minor or deadly?"
"Err… uh… I think it was Hinata," Ino said, "I think she passed out and stopped breathing…"
"That's bad…" Chouji added as he scoffed more chips in his mouth. Shikamaru thought for a moment.
"Who has chakra that is that strong?" Shikamaru asked. Asuma thought for a moment.
"Alive or dead?" Asuma asked.
"Both, start with the dead ones and then work your way to the ones who are alive," Shikamaru said as he knelled on one knee and moved his hands into an 'O' shape.
"The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th… the nine tailed fox, Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha," Asuma said as he tried to think. Shikamaru nodded. "Oh, Asami Matsuda was at a similar level to Itachi eight years ago and was considered dead once she went missing but she was only marked as dead just before the chunin exams 3 years ago," Asuma said. Shikamaru nodded again.
"Well, I doubt extremely that the Kyuubi is back and Itachi would waste his team back at Konoha which only leaves…" Shikamaru started.
"Orochimaru…" Ino said. They hurried through the trees until they noticed a kunai hit a tree, skimming past Shikamaru's face.
"I can't believe that we have travelled this far and we still haven't found them," Chouji said as all could be heard was a slight crunch from the chips in his mouth. Ino stopped for a moment as she noticed something pink flying into a tree leaving a huge indent.
"Sa…" Ino started before Shikamaru put a hand over her mouth.
"Shh…" Shikamaru whispered in her ear.
"Shikamaru, do you think you could use shadow bind on who ever is attacking Sakura and then Ino use mind transfer?" Asuma asked. The two nodded.
"and me?" Chouji asked.
"Stop eating chips until we are discovered," Asuma said. Chouji frowned.
"Unless there is two and then use formation Ino-shika-chou," Asuma said. They nodded. They moved a slight closer until they could see the opponent's head but its body was concealed by the foliage.
"It looks like a blonde, female Orochimaru," Ino said.
"She reminds me of Tsunade-sama," Chouji said.
"Wait, one moment," Shikamaru said, "Who is that?" Asuma froze as he noticed Asami lick her lips and hold a kunai to her neck.
"Now," Asuma said as Shikamaru quickly engaged shadow bind. Ino tried to focus on the figure and waited for it to stop moving.
"Shikamaru," Ino snarled in a hushed tone. She noticed a drop of sweat roll down his forehead.
"I am trying, she is still moving," Shikamaru said as he focused on the shadow, "got it…" Shikamaru said. Ino focused and brought her hands to her eyes. Asami's body stepped even closer to Sakura. Ino's body collapsed and Chouji caught her as Shikamaru's hands dropped and he wiped his head.
"Shikamaru, you should have kept it up longer," Chouji snapped. Shikamaru put one hand on the ground.
"Her chakra is the strongest I have had to fight. Even stronger than the girl with the flute from the sound," Shikamaru panted, Why are women so troublesome?
"Just as I thought," Asuma said. Asami's head dropped as she looked over in their direction.
"Did she get her?" Chouji asked. The wind blew through and Asami faced them, with an evil grin on her face.
"Come on out before I have to send my cats after you," Asami said.
"Obviously not," Shikamaru said. Asuma froze as he tried to see if anyone was behind her.
"Hey, why is that lady still over there?" Kurenai said.
"Kurenai, are you okay?" Tsunade asked.
"Kurenai? I missed!" Kurenai exclaimed.
"Ino?" Naruto asked. Kurenai nodded. "What are you doing in Kurenai?" Naruto asked.
"I was aiming for her," Ino said as she pointed at the blonde woman that was almost killing Sakura.
"You mean Asami?" Naruto asked.
"Asami?" Ino asked.
"Yeah. That's Asami. Some evil freak who everyone who knows what is with her is trying to keep me away from her for some reason," Naruto shrugged, "You haven't seen how strong she is…"
"Naruto, you should know why we are trying to keep you away from her. We explained it earlier," Tsunade growled. Ino shrugged.
"One sec," Ino said, "release…"
"Asuma-sensei," Ino said, in her real body as she began to sit up. Asuma looked at Ino. "That woman's name is Asami," Ino said as she sat up and rubbed her head.
"Asami? I thought I recognised her," Asuma said.
"Recognise?" Chouji asked. Asuma nodded.
"That woman is Asami Matsuda who the whole of Konoha thought was dead," Asuma said.
"And you know her how?" Ino asked.
"Asami was in the same class as Itachi Uchiha and they were of similar skill. But what surprised me the most was her chakra," Asuma said.
"Pathetic. You are meant to be Sakura Haruno, Tsunade's subordinate," Asami said as she threw Sakura across near Naruto.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said, "What is with you? Sakura had done nothing to you and you have almost killed her…"
"Yeah. But, I will definitely kill you," Asami said. Jaraiya looked at Naruto and his eyes were sharp. "You're not wondering why I vow on my life to kill you even over killing the Inuzuka," Asami said. Naruto nodded. Asami quickly moved and stopped behind him with her elbow digging into his shoulder.
"Why?" Naruto asked as he pulled himself out from under her elbow. Asami leaned over his shoulder.
"Do you want to know why? Because you are the one…" Asami said, "You killed my parents 15 years ago…" Asami bit into her thumb and pulled out Naruto's hand. There were meows coming from the puff of smoke. Naruto gave a confused look.
"You want to kill me and you summoned a group of kittens," Naruto said. Asami shook her head.
"No. My kittens are going to play with the people in the bush over there," Asami said as she patted the kitten that was on Naruto's hand. The kitten looked at Naruto and hissed. "Well Yukiko?" Asami growled. The little black kitten purred. "Yukiko," Asami hissed. Naruto stepped back as the kitten jumped of his hand.
"Yukiko?" Naruto asked. Asami nodded. She clapped her hands together. Naruto stood back in a stance. "If you are going to fight me, you better start now," Naruto said. Jaraiya shook his head as he stood in between Tsunade and Kakashi.
"I hope he realises what he is getting in to," Jaraiya said, "Asami won't hold back."
"He wouldn't be here if you could control him. He's your subordinate," Tsunade growled. Asami stood back, her hands on the ground and her legs both back a little bit. "What is she doing?" Tsunade asked. Asami's eyes grew bigger as red chakra produced a tail and her black nails that were already shaped like a cats grew longer and sharper. Two red chakra ears appeared on her head.
"Nice dress ups. Can we fight already?" Naruto said impatiently. The tail and ears became black.
"Naruto. Her chakra levels have grown stronger," Kakashi said. Naruto nodded. Asami hissed and Naruto looked at her like she was a freak. The little black kitten walked out from the bush and sat down, licking its paw and cleaning the blood from its head. Naruto froze.
"That cat beat up Ino?" Naruto said. Sakura moved slightly until her gaze diverted to something different. The cat began to purr and meow. Asami looked at the cat and then ignored it.
"Your 'Ino' is inside my cat. Smart move but it won't be enough to stop me," Asami said as she lunged towards Naruto.
That's it for now. I am working on more description than talking but by the end, they were back to mainly talking again. Please comment (or flame) This took a little longer than expected.

Until next time, Sayonara,
