Warning: Kind of fun writing, kind of relevant to the story. You can skip over if you want and just get to the action. But you will be missing out on some new OC's that will play a key role in the stories...so I urge you to read this part but I can't force you.. ;]


Katsuo walked up to his fellow Jounin with the babe still in tow and Isamo still clutching his bloody broken nose. The other Jounin who were concentrated on the task at hand, stopped for a slight second to catch Katsuo with the young babe. Most of them shot a look of a confusion in his direction, which Katsuo deliberately ignored, while others just looked at him and decided it was none of their concern and went back to guarding their village.

"Katsuo?" A timid Jounin said walking up to the trio, she had her dark red hair tied in a messy bun and her crystal blue eyes seemed to go back and forth between the trio. She was known to be shy and she always seem to fade into the woodwork, a wallflower you could say, but on the battlefield she became a whole different person, a ruthless, unmerciful killer.

"Miyuki." Katsuo said in a monotone voice. She never did ask him a legit question. Upon hearing his response Miyuki's face blushed bright red from the embarrassment. She hated when Katsuo teased over little things, she knew he knew what she meant. Why he took every little chance to tease she would never know!

"Why do you do that Katsuo?! You know what I'm asking you!" Miyuki exclaimed. Her hands were balled up near her face and her eyes were closed shut. The blush on her face was still present and it seemed to be getting deeper with each word she spoke.

"I'm sorry, if you are referring to the baby I have it under control. I don't really know the details yet, but I will tell you when I receive them. I will bring Isamo along with me to acquire said details. Now you may go back to your post." Katsuo commanded.

Miyuki's eyes popped open and her fists un-clenched. She looked at Katsuo strangely as if he just grew another head. She was so used to Katsuo shrugging her complaints about teasing her off or giving some cheeky answer, but not apologizing to her than giving her the information she originally asked for. It made her wonder if this was a serious situation that could change the outcome of the Hidden Village, but she dismissed those thoughts since it was only a wee babe and she was pretty sure a small babe like the one Katsuo was holding didn't hold enough power to take over the village.

"H-Hai. Isamo!" Miyuki said suddenly turning her attention to the injured man, who was obviously annoyed by the lack of attention.

"What happened?" Miyuki asked.

"Thanks for noticing Miyuki," Isamo said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. Miyuki frowned at his response, it wasn't her fault Katsuo caught her attention first. Wait what? Miyuki's famous blush began to return again as she thought about what she just thought a few seconds ago, she began to tune out Isamo, not on purpose though!

"This little fucker right there kicked me square in the face. I would have kicked him in the eyes, so he could become fucking blind, you know! Fucking shit-" before Isamo could finish his rant Katsuo caught him off,

"We don't have time. We are getting distracted! Lets go. Now" Katsuo said sightly annoyed at Isamo and Miyuki's banter. Miyuki blushed a bit and ran off back to her post, while Isamo started screaming at him telling him to 'go to hell for making a babe like Miyuki leave.'

Katsuo just ignored him though, he didn't have time for his immaturity Katsuo started walking up to the gate passing, not caring if Isamo followed his lead or not, which Isamo wasn't. He was actually following Miyuki around like a lost puppy. Katsuo began passing by many Jounin who were exceptionally performing their duty. He was about to head in the village until a soft slender hand-held him back from entering the village.

"Katsuo." a voice called

Katsuo turned and looked up at the woman before him. She was a tall, skinny little thing. Her onyx eyes scanned the man before her and raven hair was neatly placed in a tight ponytail, swishing back and forth every time she made a movement.

"Yes Amaya?" Katsuo voice dragged a bit. He really wasn't in the mood to get stopped by her, he had to get this child checked out to the Hokage before he could go back to his duty. Didn't anyone understand that?!

"A babe? Really?" the woman named Amaya scoffed at the weird scene before her, letting herself indulged in the humor in front of her, but then after a quick minute of chuckling she became serious. "Where are you taking it?" Amaya asked, her tone was judgmental and her eyes scanned them as if they were suspicious characters.

"Her," Katsuo corrected with a small smirk, which earned him an eye-roll from Amaya. "To the Hokage to be checked out."

"No." said Amaya, right after she said that, she firmly planted her feet 2 meters apart and held her hands back in a perfect guarding stance. No one got in or out without Amaya knowing. She gave the okay to let anyone and the boot to anyone who decided it was a good idea to trespass. Katsuo, leader of the task, thought it would be a good idea to appoint Amaya as the leader of the 'Gētogādo' but now it only served as a pain the ass.

"Amaya. I don't have time for this, this babe was found in the middle of the woods crying out." Katsuo explained, he really wasn't in the mood to pick a fight with hard-headed Amaya.

"Katsuo! You of all people should know that the Hokage does not have time for a matter so irrelevant!" Amaya exclaimed, she spoke with a bit of bewilderment and annoyance.

"It's not irrelevant Amaya! Now I am done talking to you, let me in!" Katsuo spat, his voice rising with every word he said. He was literally shouting at her, but he didn't care. How could she even dare to say information he was reporting the Hokage was irrelevant? Who did this girl think she was? Katsuo was losing his patience with this girl. If she didn't move then she would regret every minute of it.

Amaya glared at him, not flinching an inch when Katsuo practically shouted her. She wasn't afraid of a little shouting or Katsuo for that matter. Her sole duty was to protect her Village and keep out any unnecessary nuisances. That's what Katsuo put her on the mission for and she was going to complete, even if it meant restricting access from her commander.

Katsuo started gritting his teeth to hold back any foul language, he was about to say something but Amaya beat him to it. "I'm sorry Katsuo. I'm only doing this good of the village."

"I'm serious. This babe could be sick, she could be linked to the attack." Katsuo growled, he was really showing how much self-control he had, but he couldn't control himself for much longer.

Amaya looked at him like he was crazy. But then all of sudden her head swung back and her whole stance fell apart as she held her stomach to hold back the sudden pain of laughing so hard. When Amaya brought her back her face was tomato read and her eyes brimmed with tears. Her laugh was high and sickly sweet. Katsuo cringed at her laugh, he always hated her life. It sounded like a little girl giggling over and over, to the point when you just want your head to blow off.

"Are you serious? Oh God Katsuo you're crazy. Th-this baby!? Okay..okay..Gosh y-your only wasting the village's time...good one Katsuo though" Amaya said trying to get herself together to no avail. Before she knew it she was on the floor howling with laughter, she couldn't help it. Was Katsuo serious? This babe... ridiculous.

Katsuo dared daggers at her, goodness if looks could kill Amaya would have been dead a long time ago. It didn't matter though Katsuo had had just enough of this girl. She was really pushing her luck and well she needs to put in her place. She wasn't the worst and she surely wasn't the best at this job. He could find someone else to take her job.

"You are off duty from the rest of the mission" Katsuo deadpanned.

"What?!" Amaya immediately stopped laughing and looked at the man with eyes that were blazing with anger.

"You're joking right?!" Amaya snapped, she got up, her killer intent waving through the air. This seemed to catch the babe's action and for the first since Katsuo held she made a slight humming noise. Both Amaya and Katsuo shot their attention at her. The babe looked at Amaya and slightly frowned, but then smiled. Amaya shot an eyebrow at her, but ignored her all together and focused her attention on Katsuo.

Katsuo seemed to notice what the babe did, but didn't comment on it, instead he looked back at Amaya.

"No. Now I'll this later. Goodbye" He said walking away with the babe, before Amaya could scream or holler.

When Katsuo was out of sight Amaya licked her faint red lips and smirked, "Make me, make me leave."

Amaya chuckled inwardly, and gt back to work. The other gētogādos hadn't heard the conversation between Amaya and Katsuo, but they saw something different in their commander. Amaya turned and around and caught her fellow guards dozing off.

"Hey! Get back to work! This village is not going to protect itself!"

Soon all the guards let their thoughts run off and got back to work, just like their 'chief' commanded them to.

Amaya shrugged off the threat Katsuo made, but her thoughts kept going back to Katsuo and the babe. 'Did really expect me to take that seriously?! God, acting like the baby was the one who controlled the Demon! Idiot! Then trying to kick me off the mission! I don't care if you're the fucking leader bitch! I did nothing wrong, so fuck off! God..I just need to let it..focus on the work Amaya..shake it off"

Amaya took her own advice and let her thoughts drift off as she got back to work, but one thought kept sneaking its way back into her mind.

'Who was that babe Katsuo was carrying?!'


*MUST READ*

Katsuo walked in the Hidden Leaf Village with a very silent babe in his arms. The whole time he had spent wasting time with his 'friends' she had remained silent, not even moving a muscle. Upon entering Katsuo thought she had died in his arms without her noticing, but when he went to check she was staring off into space with her big doe eyes looking onward, she was completely zoned out. Katsuo didn't really mind it, but was just curious on how a young babe like her who appeared healthy looked so dead?

He don't focus on it much, he just kept walking to the Hokage's office. He walked by the rumble and garbage left by the attack of that horrible creature. Black smoke still lingered in the air as he passed one home that had seemed to catch on fire. Katsuo wondered on how that had happened since no fire attacks were distributed by the demon during the attack, but he decided that someone left the stove on or something and the house caught on fire on a bad day.

The black smoke seemed to make its way up Katsuo nose and down to his lungs, burning it the minute it made contact. Katsuo coughed wildly as he made his way through the village. He made sure to keep a hand over the babe's small nose to keep her safe from the polluted air as he made his way through the village. Large pieces of wood and broken tree trunks were scattered across the roads. Some unlike shop-owners had barren tree trunks collapse behind their humble stores.

The whole village seemed to be covered in rumble and debris, but there was no major physical damage done. As Katsuo destination came into view he saw most of the townspeople lining up at the Hokage's mansion. 'Great, just what I needed' Katsuo thought. Many people were screaming for help, telling no one in particular that their home or shop was damaged. Others were children who were scared because they didn't know where their Kaa-chan and Otou-san went. It hurt Katsuo to see so many people affected by this beast. They had tried to keep the beast away from the village and on the outskirts, but it looked like they failed.

The beast still hit home.

"HOKAGE-SAMA!" one villager screamed at the top of his lungs, "HEAR US PLEASE! HELP US! DO NOT ABANDON YOUR PEOPLE!"

"YONDAIME! PLEASE!" one woman pleaded frantically waving her hands back and forth. Katsuo watched them curiously. Weren't they informed that their beloved Yondaime was no more? Was the 3rd keeping it a secret from the townspeople? If he is, why? They had a right to know what was going on in their village.

Katsuo decided not to dwell on the thoughts any longer and began maneuvering his way through the crowd trying to get the babe to the Hokage as quickly as possible.

"Pardon." Katsuo mumbled as he bumped into some people on accident. To protect the babe from ramming elbows, Katsuo moved the babe from the position from which she was in to a new one. The babe's face was currently pressed onto Katsuo's chest as her chubby hands and arms wrapped around him the best way they could. Katsuo protectively wrapped his arms around the babe's back and went through the crowd.

He was able to get through the crowd without harming the babe. He reached the gates and unsurprisingly there were Jounins guarding the gates to the Hokage's Mansion.

"Katsuo. What brings you?" a girl asked, one of the jounins on duty at the time.

"I'm reporting to the Hokage. Very serious, may I pass?" Katsuo asked looking at the gates.

"Hmm..okay," the girl looked Katsuo up down, a bit suspicious of Katsuo, but she nonetheless trusted and let him in. "Open up!" she yelled to the jounins handling the gates. The jounins nodded and opened the gates slightly, so only Katsuo could enter.

"HOW COME HE CAN GO IN?!" one member of the crowd who witness Katsuo go in yelled.

"Hurry up Katsuo! We don't need a freaking riot, now do we!" the girl said rushing him once she did she went to go calm down the crowd. Katsuo calmly walked in after beginning rushed in a few moments. He walked through the long dim-lit corridors in silence. Many thoughts passed through his mind, none really worth focusing on. He glanced down at the babe a few times and found her comfortably nuzzling her face into his chest. He smirked at the action, since he was clearly amused, but he honestly didn't really care much.

After awhile they were at the Hokage's door. Katsuo re-positioned the babe again so he would be able to knock on the door. He quickly knocked on the door and waited for a response from the occupant in the room. Soon after he heard the tired voice of the old 3rd Hokage allowing him to enter. Soon the babe and Katsuo were facing the 3rd Hokage. Katsuo bowed with respect and the babe was force to bow as well.

The 3rd Hokage was now in his former Hokage attire. The robe hung on to loosely, but the hat was placed steadily on his head. He was looking out the window, hands behind his back and his back turned to Katsuo who patiently waited for him to address him.

The 3rd turned his head slightly and looked at Katsuo, he then turned back to looking out the window.

"You're not here to bother me right?" the 3rd's voice echoed throughout the silent and relatively dark room, whose only light was the outside world. Katsuo was a bit startled by the 3rd's sudden question, but he didn't show it.

"No." he said in a monotone voice.

"Really? Then why is there a baby in my office?" the 3rd was seething, he was really frustrated and very irritable at the moment. He didn't need any nonsense and foolishness distracting him at the moment.

"Hokage-sama, this babe was found in the wilderness soon after the attack. She also has a dragon tattoo, I believe that she could have something to do with the attack" Katsuo explained, even though it sounded silly and unbelievable, the Hokage didn't laugh, not even a snicker.

"Hmph. I don't what I should say or do, there are many possible things that could be the reason for all this...I commend you on bringing the babe back to the village, she could very well be from here. She could have also been kidnapped and so forth if you hadn't brought her back...you know how ninjas are these days.." the Hokage turned and faced the duo. Even though there wasn't a lot of light in the room, there was still pain clear on his aged face.

"I am not sure what I should do with her now. But for now, till I get this matter resolved " he said pointing down to the masses of angry villagers, "I won't be able to do much about her. So please drop her off at the orphanage. I'm pretty sure her dragon tattoo is a part of a clan tradition, so nothing to worry about the. So please go, we are done here" the Hokage said dismissing them.

But Katsuo thought the Hokage was over-looking this way too quickly, he understood there were problems to be dealt with, but something was telling him this babe was important and for some reason he seemed to trust whatever it was telling him this. If he was going to kick him out this quick then he was at least going to give him this warning message.

"Hokage-sama, I understand, but please do check her out...something is telling me she could be a the reason for some things.." with that Katsuo walked out the room with, leaving the Hokage puzzled and with an enormous headache.

Katsuo was infuriated to say the least. He felt like he had made a complete fool out of himself and that he had wasted his time, the Hokage may of not verbally expressed it, but it was obvious he couldn't give two shits about the girl and that they were both just wasting his precious time, even though when they entered he was staring at a window! Katsuo wanted to punch something, more like the someone, but he didn't. He kept himself in check and he could thank years of having Isamo as a best friend for that. He decided to take all his anger and put it into the task at hand.

He quickly ran down the hallways and out the gates. He was running so fast that the gate guards only felt a slight breeze when they turned around to look at who opened the door. Even though Katsuo was fast he wasn't Yondaime fast, the young jounin girl who had let him spotted him and stopped him.

"Is everything okay?" she asked, concern was written all over her face as her fellow jounin tried to clear out the crowds.

"Yes. I have to go." Katsuo ran away, not even wanting for a response from the girl. He kept running, looking down every once in awhile to make sure the girl was still there and that she was safe. Even though he was upset at the Hokage's response he couldn't think of anything better to do with the babe, so he decided to take the Hokage's advice and take her to the orphanage for the time being.

He reached the orphanage in under 10 minutes and was now facing the building. Konoha's Orphanage was relatively big and spacious and was known for hiring very kind and understanding people, and for some reason Katsuo never bought that shit. Humans aren't understanding, they are never really affected the same way, so how could these people understand what these kids were going through? Even though Katsuo had a million things to say about the orphanage he wasn't going to voice them, instead he calmly walked into the building and to the front desk, where he met a rather very young lady working the front office.

"Oh! Hello!" the girl was startled by Katsuo presence and as soon as she looked up at him she shot up and all the papers that were once at her desk now resided on the floor.

The girl looked down at the papers, "I'll get those later" she said shrugging off the mess. "Is there anything I could do for you?" she asked Katsuo, who was having second thoughts about handing the babe over to the orphanage.

"Yes, I would like to drop off this baby," Katsuo said, he saw the girl about to say something but merely cut her off before she could speak.

"No I don't have any information on the girl," Katsuo said, he had seemed to have read the girl's mind, since the next thing she did was openly stared at him with curious eyes. Katsuo ignored her and continued on with what he was saying.

"But I'm telling you this, make sure she is being treated to standards. I will come back for her, most likely not anytime soon, but I will come back...do you here me?!" Katsuo could tell the girl was drifting off into space, or most likely falling for him like some women do when he starts speaking, they never paying attention to what he's saying, it's so irritating. Katsuo feel his blood boil as the woman continued to pay no mind to what he was saying.

"Here," he said handing the young babe over to the woman in a small fit of rage, who just came back from zoning out. She sloppily held on to the babe, she looked at the man with concerned curious, and terrified eyes. Even so, her attention was fully on what he was going to say to her next.

"I will always know what happens to this girl, so don't think you're slick. I will come back. Don't forget that." Katsuo's look terrified the girl, he was so calm and collected a few moments ago and now all she could feel was a massive wave of killer intent flowing throughout the room. Katsuo was literally staring daggers at the girl creating more tension in the room. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, the girl even had to looked down to try and stop herself for becoming embarrassed .

"But..sir-" the sound of the door closing was all the girl heard when she looked up to address Katsuo.

"I don't even know your name..."
