Chapter 2

The Kage Meeting.

It had been a couple hours after my meeting with Tsunade. I was staring at the clouds. I was standing on a tree just outside of the village. I saw someone walking to the village. I didn't know who it was. "Who are you?" I asked jumping down from the tree and walking to her. "It's common courtesy to say your name first." She said. "You aren't a leaf shinobi, so who are you?" I said crossing my arms, I sighed, and then I yawned. "Why aren't you the smart one?" She said sarcastically. "The name's Temari." She said crossing her arms. "Now who are you?" Temari asked impatiently. "I am Koji Hyuuga, the Hoshikage." I said. "Let me guess, Sand Ninja?" I asked walking up to her and stopping when I was about two feet from her. "That's right." She said. "Is the Kazekage coming?" I asked. "He shouldn't be that far behind." She said looking behind. "I'm right here." We both heard a monotone voice come from the tree right next to us. "HOLY SHIT!" I said jumping about three feet. "God, what is with you Lord Kazekage?" I asked looking at him, my heart beating quickly. "What do you mean?" He asked in a monotone voice. "I mean don't just sneak up on people." I said. "He is that way." I heard Temari say. I saw Gaara jump down from the tree branch he was standing on. "You can go in, I'll be there in a couple of hours, I am going to see that the other kage get here. "Ok." I heard Gaara say. Both Gaara and Temari walk into the village.

I waited about another hour, and then I saw the Raikage. It was… Sarra. "H-how?" I said my eyes were wide open. "Y-you're… You're supposed to be dead." I looked at her. Sarra is my twin sister. "H-h-how? I thought you were killed in the mission to help the people in Kumogakure." I said looking at her. "Well I wasn't." She said looking a little angry, because I asked about the mission. The squads that were sent on that mission were Squad 9, which consisted of Sarra Hyuuga, Ali Uchiha, and Naraku. My squad, which was Squad 12, and consisted of Yuki Uchiha, Xellos Hornn and me. It was about five years since that fateful mission. "I-I'm sorry, Sarra." I said looking down at the ground. I then looked at her, and then I walked up to her. When I hugged her, she hugged back, but only for a minute. When I stopped hugging her, I stepped back, and there was a tear running down my face. "I-I missed you, Sarra." I said smiling. She doesn't say anything, and she walks by me, and enters the village. "We have found Neraku Urukana, and Suki Haruno." I heard, and then I saw two ANBU appear to the left of me. "Ok, bring them to the Hokage's Office." I said, with a light sigh afterwards. "Yes." They said, and then they disappeared.

About twenty minutes after the meeting with Sarra, I saw the Tsuchikage, and the Mizukage. "Hello Lord Tsuchikage and Lady Mizukage." I said bowing to them. "Hello Lord Hoshikage." They both said. I let them pass. I sighed and waited for the other Kage. The Tsuchikage was a very old friend of mine, and I only know the Mizukage by reputation. The Tsuchikage's name is Naraku. Although Naraku and Neraku's names are very similar, they are two completely different people. The Mizukage's name is Yuka. She is especially skilled in water and wind jutsus. She also has the Hyuuton ability. I have heard that Yuka is able to destroy an army of shadow clones in less than ten seconds. Even I would have trouble defeating an army of shadow clones that quickly.

I sighed, and then I waited for the Kusokage, which has not shown yet. I was just about to re-enter the village, but right at that moment, I felt a sharp pain in my back. I turned, and looked, but no one was there. I took the kunai from my back out. I then threw the kunai straight into the ground. I looked again. When I turned around to enter the village, I saw the Kusokage. "OH MY GOD!" I said, jumping again. "What?" She said. "Don't sneak up on me!!!" I said almost yelling. "Why? It's fun." She said, smiling. The Kusokage is Ali Uchiha. She disappeared around the same time Itachi left Konohagakure. I was on the search party a couple of years later. We were sure she was long gone. "I thought you had disappeared." I said to her, starting to walk into the village, and Ali was right next to me walking. "No, I was just bored with this village." She said still walking next to me. We past the Ichiraku Ramen Shop. When we past Ichiraku, Ali did not say anything. She was really quiet. She was somewhat loud, before she left the village. We reached the Hokage's mansion, and I knock on the door. "Enter" I heard Tsunade say. "Ladies first." I said letting Ali enter before me. "Thanks." She said, smiling. I walked in after her.

"What is this about!?!?" I heard someone say, he was on the left of the room, and it was Naruto. "The Akatsuki has Hinata and Neji." I said looking at him. "What?" Naruto asked. "They have Hinata and Neji?" He asked. "Yeah, Mr. Obvious." I said a little annoyed. "Why you little…" He said, getting a little angry. "Stop it you two." We heard Tsunade and Naraku. "Fine." I said. "Fine, Grandma." Naruto said. "Thanks for coming on such short notice." Tsunade said. Naraku, Neraku, Suki, Yuka, Sarra, Gaara, and Ali all nod. "Koji asked me to call all of you here, because the Akatsuki has threatened to kidnap more people after twelve hours when Koji got the note from the Akatsuki Leader." Tsunade added. "That's correct." I said. "But we only have about six hours left before they start kidnapping." I added. "I guess we will just have to go there, and fight our way through." I heard Naruto and Sarra say simultaneously. Everyone looks at the two of them. I just look out the window. "Fine, I guess we need a vote." I heard Yuka say. "Secret ballot, or open vote?" I said. "Secret ballot." She said. Yuka hands each one of us a piece of paper, everyone except for Naruto, Neraku, and Suki. The secret vote took about five minutes. Everyone had given Yuka their ballot, but me. "Here." I said, and I handed her my ballot. "Is that every one?" She asked. "Yeah." Everyone but Neraku, Suki, and I say something.

After ten minutes, Yuka started counting the ballots. "Four votes… Full out attack. Three votes… Sneak attack." She said. "Yes!" We heard Naruto say. "Let's get going!" Naruto said. "We need to separate into teams." I heard Naraku tell Naruto. "Why" Naruto said, kind of yelling. "Because, we would be a much larger target." Naraku answered. "Let's get into teams of two, now." I said, not wanting to waste anymore time. "Ok, Koji you're paired with Sarra, Yuka is teamed with Naraku; Neraku is teamed Suki, Gaara is teamed with Ali, and Naruto you're teamed with me." I heard Tsunade. "Fine." Sarra and I said simultaneously. We all started to walk out of the door. "Koji, Sarra… are the both of you going to be ok?" Tsunade asked. "I guess." We said simultaneously. Everyone started to leave. "Meet us at Kirigakure, in thirty minutes." I said, before everyone left. "Ok." I heard everyone say. When Sarra and I left, we both started to walk out of the village, and when we reached the edge of the forest outside of Konohagakure. I really had missed her. When our squads were sent on missions, she was the one who finished her squad's missions the fastest. We were still quiet. "I am still sorry." I said with a sigh afterwards. "Whatever." She said. We both stop because we were at our destination.
