After thischapter you might think that my OC is Mary Sue but it's not. It's just the surprise factor that counts a lot. You'll se that in the next fights it wont be like this.
Enjoy.
I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 3 – 2º degree encounters.
Three weeks have passed in a blur; I never really thought that I would fit in Konoha so well. Soon I met the other Chunnin, and befriended with them. Ino, Hinata, Chouji, Shikamaru, Shino, Sai, Kiba and much more. Naruto made sure to present me to all of them. I was truly sorry not to be on the academy and meet such wonderful persons. I and my team were also hanging quite well: we knew each other quite good but I haven't told them about my kenkai genkai or anyone else. I thought that it would people look at me different so I just preferred to keep silent about it. Team 7 have also improved in offensive missions and we had a quite effective mode of attack and defence. In order to our improvements, we were assigned a C-rank mission.
"Finally!!" Was Rei's response to this news. All we had to do was giving a scroll to Sunagakure's Kasekage Gaara about Akatsuki. It didn't seem too hard.
Unfortunately not everything was going good. The freaking Itachi's book was horrible because was in an ancient language so it was rather difficult to read. So many times I asked myself if it really was worth it, but it's the only clue that I have in order to complete my mission.
So 5 in the morning and here I am at the gates of Konoha waiting for my late students. The first to arrive was Minoru, who was a little scared of leaving the village.
"Hello Sensei." He said while playing with his fingers just like Hinata.
"Hello Minoru. Are you nervous?" I asked smiling at the poor little boy.
"Well… Kind of, it's my first C-rank mission." He said looking to the ground.
"Well, it's okay. We're going to do fine and besides, we're going to see Sunagakure. I've heard that the Kasekage is a great friend of Naruto so I'm sure he'll be nice." I said. Gaara of the Sand. He sure had an interesting story, and once more Naruto played a critical part in it.
A couple of minutes passed and Rei and Ryuu appeared both chanting happily: 'We're going out! We're going out!'
"Okay boys and girl line up!" I ordered with a serious face. They did as I told. "Now tell me the rules! Minoru you start!"
"Rule number 1: Stay always in group!" He stated proudly.
"Rule number 2: Always do what Kasumi-Sensei order!" Ryuu said.
"Rule number 3: Never drop your kunai even if it moves on his own!" Finally Rei said the last one.
"Good." I said with a goofy smile. "Let's start this mission." With that we started running to the sun rise.
(Rei's POV)
Hours pass quickly when you're running. In fact I was kind of lost already. I just run where Kasumi pointed, what I admired the most was the fact that she was so agile even with her huge sword in her back. She sure was different from the other woman. Even the ninja woman, I never met one that was the chief of her team, but Naruto told me that the Raikage had a squad where a girl was the chief. So I really admired my Sensei she was just unique. Another funny thing was her big agenda, stuffed with a lot of papers and multicolour markings. She also carried a big brown book that looked really old and when we rested she always read it carefully like translating something.
Finally we reached a clearing but sensei stopped abruptly.
"Ryuu, can you sense any charka around us?" She asked suddenly.
Ryuu concentrated for a while. "No I can't sense anything."
"Shit…" That was the very first time I heard sensei swearing. "Everybody defence positions right now!" She said grabbing her kunai. Immediately I grabbed my kunai. I could feel all the muscles in my body tensing up, and for the first time I was scared.
"Sensei what's wrong?" Minoru asked her quite scared too.
"Ryuu couldn't sense nobody's charka but… haven't you noticed that the birds appear to be spying on us?" She asked.
I looked around and I could feel it, all their eyes were on us.
"And since only one group that I know have a chakra sensor that can hide them and one person that can talk to animals…" I gulped. Everybody knew who they were. Sasuke's group. Akatsuki.
And then, in a matter of seconds I could feel them. 4 pair of eyes looking at us. Two of them were crimson red; one pair in particular had the sharingan activated.
By the time I was almost having a breakdown. That's until I saw our smirking sensei. Calmly, ever so calmly she raised her right hand that wasn't holding the kunai and took her huge sword. And I could feel it. Her chakra was involving the sword, like it could control it.
"Rei, did you know that on Naruto's first C-rank mission, became too an A-rank mission?" She asked me. "And he did pretty fine so, pull yourself together." She was right. Naruto never gave up, and I wouldn't do it. I wasn't going to let him down.
"And remember rule number 3. And I don't want you to look to the guy with the sharingan eyes. You can be easily trapped in gentutsu." She ordered us.
Soon the figures appeared. One had sharp teeth and was blond, another one had orange hair and it was quite big, there was a girl with red hair and red eyes, and finally the leader with raven hair and those eyes. Naruto's best friend. Uchiha Sasuke.
(Kasumi's POV)
Such a lucky day, oh joy did I really needed to meet them today?! Well, I was pissed now. I was so pissed of! How do they dare to threaten my team?! You're on. Oh you're so on!! I didn't spent 10 freaking years on Juda's ass to be scared of some weird guys.
"So are you're going to talk, or are you just going to stay there staring?" I asked them with a defiant smirk on my face.
One of them Suigetsu, the freaking aqua man, started grinning.
"You shouldn't be so impatient. I never saw someone so excited with their dead." He said. My grin grew wider. I loved people who underestimated the others. This was a big advantage.
"Suigetsu, calm down. This one has some weird chakra levels." Karin warned.
"Like I would care!! I like her sword, I want her sword!" He said in a childhood manner. I could see sweat drops on my students' foreheads.
"Sensei, is that really a grown up man?" Ryuu asked.
"Uh… Yeah, with some issues." I stated. My students snickered a little bit. That was quite good to soften the mood.
"You little brats!!!" He said and suddenly took of a kunai and attacked Ryuu.
"Third rule." I managed to say.
And then when Suigetsu attacked him, Ryuu dodge it with easy with his own kunai.
Once again another attack and once again another dodge. Soon the attacks become stronger and faster but Ryuu dodge them all. Oh, may I say, I dodge them all. I really didn't knew who was more surprised Ryuu for seeing is kunai move on his own, Suigetsu with the capacity of Ryuu or Karin that was wide eyes looking at me.
"What's wrong Karin?" I heard Sasuke say.
"Her chakra! She is controlling the metal with such a little amount of chakra." She said, Suigetsu immediately stopped and stared at me. Everyone now was staring at me.
"Sensei! You're awesome!" Ryuu said grinning.
I chuckled a little bit.
"So you can control metal uh?" Sasuke said.
Now they knew what I was capable of. Time to pass to the action. In a blink of an eye, three kunais were closely on Sasuke's, Karin's and Juugo's throat cutting the skin a little bit. In fact I was little lucky because Sasuke was still recuperating since the meeting with the Kage's and his reflexes were a little slow.
"Minoru! Use you Shadow jutsu and get an old on Juugo. That will prevent him from triggering his seal." I ordered. (So I made Minoru almost like Shikamaru! Sue me!)
The kid did as I told, and his shadow wrapped closely to Juugo.
"And what about me? Why don't I have a kunai pointed at my throat?" Suigetsu asked with a smirk.
"It wouldn't work, aqua boy." I snapped. "Rei, keep a close eye on the other two please. Avoid any visual contact with Uchiha. I'm taking care of this one."
"Hai." She said.
"Ryuu… Avoid any visual contact with the prisoners. Look only to Rei and if she appears to be in gentutsu just put some of your chakra in her body." He nodded.
Now I had bigger problems. I being a wind nature chakra was in a bad position with Suigetsu. Soon he took of two kunais and I prepared my sword.
He attacked first. I dodge it and attracted him far from my students so they wouldn't get hurt. He kept attacking me and me dodging.
"It's all that you got?" He asked me with that stupid grin in his face.
"Not a chance!" I said. "Kaze Striking no Jutsu!" I yelled and wind soon started running around my sword. With one single blow the wind cut Suigetsu in little pieces but he soon put himself together again.
"Wind natured chakra? Sorry but that won't work with me." He said smiling and with that he charged at me with a water canyon which I had to dodge. This wasn't going to be easy.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu." I murmured and 5 clones of me appeared. My clones went to attack Suigetsu while I elevated my sword.
"Feeling coming in the air. Heard the screaming everywhere, I'm addicted to the fear it's a dangerous love affair." With this I could feel wind starting swirling around me. "Can't be scared and it goes down, got a problem tell me now. The only thing that's on my mind it's who gone run this town tonight." Now the wind was really strong and started making a circle. "Life is a game but it's not fair, I break the rules so I don't care." (Run this town!! I love the lyrics! ) With these last words a huge tornado appeared right front of me. This was one of my strongest attacks, so it was necessary some words that mean something to us to make it happen. Suigetsu became really serious.
My hair was now swirling around; soon three trees went flying and easily were cut to pieces.
(Sasuke's POV)
This wasn't good. This team was quite organized and their sensei, on the contrary of other female ninjas that I knew was quite controlled. The kunai was so tight to my throat that I was bleeding. Than I saw it with my sharingan eyes. The wind was concentrated and full of chakra. This wasn't good for Suigetsu. Soon the three started to shake, and even her students turned to look. There in the middle of the field a huge tornado was there. The girl had her sword on the ground and Suigetsu was looking horrified to the tornado. I really didn't want to use Amaretsu now. Juugo was totally incapacitated. This couldn't be possible. This little kids defeated us? That's what we get by acting with hot head. Stupid Suigetsu…
"Stupid Suigetsu… Now he's doomed." Karin said annoyed.
But then something happened Suigetsu started gathering the humidity in the air and soon the tornado was engulfed with water making it impossible for the girl to control it so she had to put an end to the jutsu.
(Kasumi's POV)
Smart move. I guess he isn't that stupid.
"You're quite strong." Suigetsu said.
"You're not bad either." I said trying to recover my breath. Unfortunately before I knew it he was coming again and I was really tired because of the chakra that I used in order to create the tornado. So I merely dodge it. With some chakra I took some shurikans of my pocket and cut Suigetsu in little pieces, just to buy more time. This fight wasn't going anywhere.
"It's no use. You can cut me one thousand times but I'll always get back." He was right.
"That doesn't mean I won't try!" I said and with another blow I cut him in half.
Now I was panting evilly. I need to think in something fast. Suigetsu was in his normal form again. Shit. Then all of sudden, Rei appeared behind him her hand full of electrical energy.
"CHIDORI!" She yelled and trespassed Suigetsu's body with it. The reaction was fast. He stopped and slowly fell ending in some kind of jelly on the floor.
"Good job Rei." I complimented her. But soon I became worried. The others were there alone with Sasuke. "Dammit!" I said and in no my time my sword started floating. I jumped on it and grabbed Rei by the collar of her shirt. "AHHH!" She said while flying through the skies.
When we arrived unfortunately, Sasuke had already put Ryuu under gentutsu. And they all were free.
In a quick move I injected some of my chakra in Ryuu that snapped of his trance.
"Sensei?" He said weakly.
"It's okay. All of you did a great job." I said to them. They all smiled and once more got in fighting stance.
Sasuke's eyes flickered to mine. It was now or never, my master is an Uchiha so I was trained to resist gentutsu. Minutes passed and nothing happened.
Even Sasuke seemed surprised this time.
"Sasuke what now? Are we going to kill them or what?" Karin asked.
This time Sasuke didn't exitate and with his katana advanced to get me. Fortunately the wind was still running through my sword, and wind was stronger than electricity. So I had the advantage. And I didn't know why but, Juugo wasn't attacking neither was Karin. Maybe they didn't want to attack children. But my students were no stupid. Even concentrating in the fight with Sasuke once more I could put two other kunais on Juugo's and Karin's throats.
"Minoru! Shadow possession right now!" I yelled. I could sense he was low in chakra nevertheless he did an effort. And locked Juugo again.
"Your fight is with me!" Sasuke growled wanting my attention.
I faced him. I really didn't know how Naruto still had hope in him. But if Naruto had hope I would have it too.
"Uchiha Sasuke, is really this you've become?" I said while attacking him with a blow of wind that left a mark in the ground. Those words seemed to fazed him a little but soon regain conscience. And this time he uses a fire technique.
I merely had time to pick all of my and my student's shurikans' and made a wall against the fire. They all melt. I took the chance and started manipulating the now liquid metal like Gaara's sand. Sasuke just growled.
"Don't forget metal is a great conductor of electricity!" He yelled. And then made a full Chidori. Luckily I could dodge it with another blow of wind. Then it was my chance. With my metal I wrapped Sasuke with it so he couldn't escape and quickly solified it. I looked around only to see my students helping Minoru providing him chakra so he could apply his jutsu on Juugo.
The only problem was, when I turned to look at Sasuke he wasn't there. I looked around frantically. And then I saw Ryuu's eyes widening. The first thing I saw was a mask. An orange mask. Uchiha Madara.
"So, what a fuss nee?" He said relaxed. In one shoulder he had Suigetsu and Sasuke was by his side looking really annoyed.
"I got it controlled." He stated.
"Sure. Sure." Then he looked at me. "Your powers are quite strange. I really would like to know who trained you since I can't find any information about you Kasumi Mishimoto." I just glared at him. "You are the granddaughter of Ryuzaki Mishimoto, good man, one of the third's best friends… I can see the physical semblances already." He continued.
I approached my students who were looking at the man scared.
"Do you really need to send all of them just to retrieve a little piece of information?" I asked him.
"Well, you see, this was more like a test. I have to know who they are senting to each village. As I can see, they're only sending shinobi's of low rank. So it must not be important information." He explained.
"I see. You're trying to figure out their trading system." I said. He was smart.
"Exactly. I guess this was enough for today. I'll let you go." Madara said. Juugo seemed relieved and so Karin, Sasuke stood emotionless but I kept staring at me and finally Suigetsu snarled. Then all of the sudden they all disappeared.
I sighed relieved and so my students. I just sat on the floor breading evilly.
"This, my friends, was a mission." I said lying on the floor.
"God, I don't really want to know what a S-rank mission is." Rei said lying to.
"So what now?" Minoru asked.
"Now, we're going to rest to regain our energies and then will continue this mission!" I said smiling. They all nodded. "And I have to say we were awesome! Can you believe that we faced S-rank criminals and survived it?" Now I was observing the clouds.
"Thanks to you sensei and you freaking powers! How did you learn all that?" Ryuu asked excited.
"Tsk tsk, if wasn't Rei helping me with Suigetsu I was doomed. And Ryuu you're quite good in taking the decision to give some of your chakra to Minoru. And of course Minoru you're Shadow possession was really good." I said. They all grinned.
"He wasn't really struggling. I think he didn't want to fight." Minoru explained.
"Yes, I think the same, but nevertheless this was a great step for you guys. Just wait until I tell the villagers." I referred.
"And are you going to tell them about your powers?" Rei asked looking at me.
"I think is the best." When I said this a noise was heard from all of our bellies.
"LUNCH TIME!" We all said.
DONE! :D
