AN- Here is chapter Three!
Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors!
I don't own Naruto!
Songs I listened to- Sasuke's fighting theme-Kokuten and Itachi's Theme- Senya! I love both of these songs. Kokuten I listened to when I was writing the Tara/Sasuke battle. It put me in the mood!
I hope the fight scene is not to short but I tried by best!
Enjoy!
There was more people than Tara thought there would be. News traveled fast it seemed. Of course she should not be surprised. A member of the famed Uchiha clan was here.
Tara looked out across the field from the tree branch she was on. No one knew she was there. Her presence was masked and undetectable. Tara saw team seven and the rest of the rookie twelve, and their sensei's, jonins, chunins, and people from all of the major clans. She took notice of the Uchiha Elders, the other member of the clan and the rest of Sasuke family. His father was standing beside him with his arms crossed over his chest.
He seemed like the strict and unforgiving type of man. The elders looked the same. They all looked stuck up and dressed in nice kimonos. Tara noticed other members of the clan by the dark hair and eyes. They all had serious expressions, even the women. Some of the members around Sasuke's age were there too. Probably going to watch him fight or swoon over him.
Tara gazed out and saw that most everyone looked excited and interested in the upcoming fight. She saw Tsunade standing over by the rookie twelve. Tara detected ANBU members around the edge of the north and east side of the clearing. Probably to make sure things did not get out of hand.
The dragon in human form looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was directly in the center. It was noon.
It was time.
She saw Sasuke step forward and make his way to the middle of the clearing. Before he could reach it Kakashi Hatake stopped him. What was he telling Sasuke? Maybe to be careful and do not underestimate her?
Tara smirked. Smart man.
Sasuke just nodded and continued to the center of the clearing. He stopped and stared around him. Trying to find her. He would not successed.
It was five minutes later when the head elder of the Uchiha clan broke the silence.
"I know you are here Fire Guardian!" Kito, the elder yelled.
"Is the legendary Guardian scared to fight a real Uchiha? Are you that spineless to show your face here, around so many?" he said.
"Elder Kito I warn you to be silent. The wrath of a dragon is not something you want." Tsunade said tensely.
He paid her no heed.
"I thought dragons were creatures of honor and feared nothing but I see I was wrong! You're nothing than a pathetic no good….."
A tornado of fire and lighting appeared in front of him. Tara was standing there in her human form. Her eyes of her dragon form and her teeth were pointed razors. Her fingernails turned into claws.
Her eyes burned with anger and annoyance.
"I assure you elder I am no coward and I fear nothing! You dare question my honor! A real Uchiha you say? I am one!" she said with a growl and her eyes transformed into that of the sharingan. The crimson depths filled with an ancient power and rage.
"You would do well to remember that!" she hissed and she turned around and teleported across the field to face Sasuke. Her anger already disappearing.
To be honest she was not that angry at the man but she could tell he was not a good person. She knew what kind of dragon she was. His words did not really affect her.
Tara stood and faced Sasuke.
"Are you ready Sasuke Uchiha?" she asked as he activated his sharingan in response to hers.
"Yes." He replied.
A jonin came and joined them, "if you don't mind a referee." He said to Tara and she nodded.
The jonin looked between the two and Sasuke took a fighting stance. Tara stayed standing tall.
"BEGIN!"
Sasuke glanced up to her eyes and saw a flash of red. He went and drew four kunai and through them at Tara and she jumped up and evaded them and she took some of her own and lunched them at the Uchiha. He dodged and landed back on the ground.
He pulled from his holster a wind mill shunikin. He launched it at her. As it came closer Tara realized it was the Wind Mill of Shadows jutsiu. Another wind mill was within the shadow of the other. The two weapons raced toward her. Tara jumped slightly and dove into the space between the two weapons. As she was descending Sasuke pulled the invisible wires attached to the weapons. The shunikins separated and one blade shot toward Tara's thigh. She looked back and saw it coming. Suddenly a tornado of fire erupted around her and she phased into her dragon form.
In mid-air her wings snapped open and she turned around and stopped the blade in her powerful jaws. She landed back on all four legs with her tail sweeping behind her. Her wings folded back close to her body as she turned toward Sasuke. Her eyes landed on him and she looked him dead in the eye.
Tara noticed everyone was shocked at her appearance. A dragon that was twice the size of a horse and could easily fit two people on her back. Her scales were crimson in color.
Tara bit down on the blade and it snapped in half. She growled as she did it, never taking her eyes off Sasuke. She made sure that the pieces did not touch her tongue. Tara heard people gasping at her in surprise and alarm.
Itachi watched all of this in silent awe. Her dragon form was magnificent. She looked powerful and proud, like something out of a fantasy. There was a certain aura around her. It was heavy and thick. He realized it was her power he was feeling. It was powerful but calm and collected. She had excellent control.
Tara looked at Sasuke and roared with such power that the ground shook with the force. Her body shrunk down a little and she shifted and stood up on her back legs, just like a human. Her wings folded to her back.
She shot forward and grabbed him by the neck and kneed him in the stomach. He shot up into the air and she launched herself after him with a smirk. She appeared above him and her heel hit him down, he landed in front of his clan members.
She landed softly before him and she stared down as he tried to catch his breath. She knew that he had at least 3 bruised ribs. She picked him up by the neck again and he cracked his eyes open to glare at her.
"Is this the power of the Uchiha clan?" she hissed at him, "The all mighty Uchiha clan?"
"Shut up." He said.
She smirked, Tara was just trying to get a good fight out of him. She knew he was stronger than this.
"Why should I? You have failed to land a hit on me." Tara said as she move her face toward his.
"You can't defeat me and you know something…you never will." She whispered into his ear.
That got the reaction she was wanting. His eyes widened and he brought his knee up and kicked her in the stomach. She released him with a gasp and moved backward.
Sasuke went through the hand signs, the sounds of the Chidori was heard throughout the clearing. He glared at Tara and waited to see what she would do.
Tara looked at the jutsiu and glanced over at Kakashi. She knew that lighting attack was a part of his arsenal. He must have taught it to Sasuke. He caught her eye and nodded.
She looked back at Sasuke and saw he was looking at her like a true opponent. He now knew that she was not going to go easy on him. He had to pull out all the stops.
She breathed in slowly and let her powers or magic build inside of her. She raised her hands into the air in front of her face. Her wrist were crossed together where they made an "X" formation. Her eyes snapped open and her hands were thrust down to her sides. As her hands moved across her body, fire erupted around them. Her fists were hot balls of fire.
"She controls her powers amazingly." Sakura said beside Naruto and Tsunade.
"Yes, she is a fire dragon. Fire is her most powerful form of elemental attack." Tsunade said as she watched the two opponents size each other up.
"Sasuke's fire style jutsiu's would be powerless against Tara's, right?" Sakura asked.
"Maybe." Tsunade answered.
Tara and Sasuke charged at the same time. Tara canceled the attack of her left hand and shot her right hand forward, Sasuke doing the same.
Right before they collided Sasuke shot his hand down to the ground in front of Tara and he also hit her in the face with his left fist. The ground cracked and she lost her balance. Her fire attack vanished and she fell to the ground. Sasuke moved away and landed in front of his clan members.
Tara got up with a grunt. A bruise was beginning to show on her cheek. Her right eye twitched a little as she gazed at him, her sharingan eyes narrowing.
"That was a dangerous move, Sasuke Uchiha." She commented.
"I hit you. You are not as invincible as you think." He answered with a smirk.
Her eyes narrowed further. A green glow surrounded her right side of her face. The bruise began to fade away.
He lost his smirk. She was healing the mark.
"You seem to forget I am a healer." She said.
His eyes narrowed.
Suddenly she shot forward faster than he could keep up with. She engaged him in a tiajustu battle. She was faster and stronger than him. She put chakra into her hits and they began to take effect. His body was littered with bruises and cuts from falling down onto the ground.
Tara put an upper cut to his chin and before he could go to high into the air she whipped around and her tail hit him across his abdomen. He flew to the edge of the forest and hit so hard that the impact caused him to fly through a tree. The unfortunate tree fell to the ground with a groan.
He got up with a gasp of pain and he glared at her. He made his way back to the center of the clearing. Tara shifted and she did 6 back hand springs and landed on all floors. She took a position to where she put most of her wait on her back legs. Her claws dug into the ground, a crimson aura began to swirl around her. She bared her teeth at him and growled.
"You want to see how fast a dragon can be. Watch." Tsunade said as she watched Tara.
Naruto and everyone around him where shocked to see what Tara was doing. Silently anticipation to see what she would do.
Sasuke drew out kunai and shunikins as he waited to see what Tara would do.
Tara pushed off the ground.
She was faster than any ninja he had come in contact with. Even faster than Haku was in his first genin team mission to Mist. He launched the weapons at her. She dodged.
When she did it was like she teleported away but it was just how fast she was going. She went so fast the audience could not see when she moved the next location. It reminded Sasuke when his cousin Shiusi would us his body flicker justiu. She dodged four more times before she was upon him.
Her claw reached out and she grasped him by the abdomen. Using her momentum she flung herself around him, as she landed behind him her wings unfolded and they shot into the air. When they were higher than the tree line she wrapped her arms around him and dove back down in a spiral.
Before they hit the ground she through him to the ground with a loud growl. He landed face first and blood escaped his mouth and nose. He gasped for air and tried to get up. Tara was there and picked him up and had him face her. He glared at her with anger.
She dropped him to the ground. She moved back and gave him some space. He slowly rose and glanced at his family. His mother look concerned, his father looked surprised. His brother was watching it all intently but with hidden concern.
"It's time we ended this." Tara said and she raised her hands up and a black aura surrounded them. Her black twin dragon swords appeared in both hands. She moved forward and before he could stop her she was straddling him as she put her swords through his hands. Stopping him from moving.
He could not move. Her swords kept his arms down and she was sitting on top of him. Her tail came up and wrapped around his legs.
The jonin came up and looked at the scene. He saw what Sasuke could. She had him beat.
"The winner…... Tara Uchiha."
Tara vanished and reappeared about 100 feet away. Her swords vanished and she phased back into her human form. Her sharingan was still activated. Tara breathed deeply and exhaled. A green glow surrounded her hands and at the same time Sasuke's injured hands. After about ten seconds his hands were healed. The green glow faded away from her eyes and his hands.
People stared to exit the clearing. Most of the rookie twelve and their sensie's were still there. The Uchiha clan members still lurked around.
Sasuke got up and moved over toward his family and teammates. Tara headed over to see Tsunade.
"You lost Sasuke Uchiha. That is unacceptable." Kito said as he scrunched his wrinkled face up.
Tara heard that and turned toward the elders and walked over.
"I beg to differ Uchiha Elders." Tara commented.
Kito continued, "That was a disgrace to the Uchiha name."
"Enough!" Tara said with a hiss.
They all looked to her and glared.
"Even if he did lose, he fought well. I congratulate you Sasuke Uchiha. You did better than most." Tara said as she looked at him.
"Thank you Lady Guardian." Sasuke replied with a small node of his head.
"No, he was….." Kito stared.
"Leave him be!" Tara commanded as she narrowed her sharingan at him.
Itachi watched all of this silently. He was surprised Tara stood up for his brother. From what she said to him during the battle it sounded like she thought Sasuke was beneath her. That she was superior to him as a dragon. Now however he might be wrong. Maybe she was just trying to motivate him to fighting her. That she was trying to get him to show her what Sasuke could do.
Tara walked away and toward Tsunade and team seven.
"That was awesome!" Naruto yelled as he appeared in front of Tara.
"Thank you." She replied.
"The way you transformed in mid-air was unbelievable." Sakura said.
"I am glad you liked the show." Tara replied.
"Yeah it was…." Kiba started.
The clouds darkened suddenly and thunder was heard overhead. Everyone in the clearing looked up at the dark clouds with surprise. It had literally came out of know where. Team seven and Itachi looked toward Tara as she sighted.
"Not now!" she yelled to the sky.
They all looked at her like she was crazy. The sky clapped again and a lighting blot shot down to the ground behind Tara about 10 feet away.
The lighting branched out and came close to hitting Tara and the others. The element died away and a dark blue dragon stood there among the dust form the lighting hitting the ground. The dragon come up from a crouch and opened its eyes.
The eyes were a forest green. It turned its head toward Tara and smirked.
"What is it you want? I just saw you yesterday." Tara said as she half turned toward the new comer.
Everyone in the clearing was shocked to see her acting so….. familiar with the dragon.
"Is that anyway to greet me?" the dragon asked with a smirk.
"Aragon what do you want?" Tara asked with narrowed eyes.
"Good to see you to…. sister." Aragon replied with a smile and a small wave.
"SISTER!" Naruto, Kiba, Sakura, and Ino yelled out in surprise.
"Everyone this is the Guardian of the Hidden Cloud Village and my younger brother…. Aragon Uchiha." Tara introduced to team seven and the rest of the rookie nine and the audience from the spar.
"It is great to see you again Lady Hokage." Aragon said as he bowed slightly to the woman.
"You as well Lighting Guardian." Tsunade replied.
"I just saw you yesterday. What is it?" Tara asked.
Aragon became serious and stood up straight.
"Arwin contacted me a few hours ago. There were sightings of Kinkaru's followers at the boarder of Wind and Fire. They are spreading to all the great nations."
Everyone was confused except Tara who roared in anger.
"What do you mean they were at the boarder!?" Tara said with a growl.
"Just as I have said. They are both in Sand and Cloud country. I fear we will get a report from the others soon at the rate this is happening." Her brother replied.
Tara slowly shook in anger, her powers manifested themselves around her as wisps of red energy. They moved faster as her anger grew.
"Tara what is going on!?" Tsunade asked as she saw how upset Tara was.
The dragon did not seem to hear her and her powers grew even more.
"FIRE GUARDAIN ANSWER ME!" The Hokage yelled.
Tara came back to her senses and her powers died down.
"I will talk to you in private." She answered and she turned back to her brother.
"Tell Arwin to keep an eye out and do not engage them unless they attack first. If the others contact you or Awrin report to me emideatly. We will set up a meeting with the Kages." Tara ordered.
Her brother bowed, "Of course your ma…." Tara shot him a glare.
"Of course sister. I will go. May the Heart of Elysian protect you." He said and lighting surrounded him and he bowed.
"Be careful Aragon. May the Heart protect you as well." Tara said and bowed.
Aragon vanished with a clap of thunder and a flash of lighting. The dark storm clouds slowly dissipated until the blue sky and sun were visible.
Tara continued to stare at the place her brother was standing, lost in thought. This was bad. Kinkaru's followers were spreading. He is dead, so who is the new leader of this rouge group. Her glare intensified. She needed to find out soon and fast.
Tara began to growl lowly until it became loud enough for everyone in the clearing to hear. Everyone watched as she became more upset with herself. Her powers manifested themselves again but even stronger than before. The wind picked up and the trees groaned. The humans had to cover their faces because the wind was so strong.
"Tara stop!" Tsunade yelled as the wind howled.
Tara came back to herself and the wind died down to a gentle breeze. Her powers vanished along with her anger.
"I need to speak with you, now." Tara said as she gazed toward Tsunade with hard eyes.
"What is it?" the hokage asked.
"Not here. In private."
"Alright teleport us back to my office." Tsunade said as she walked toward Tara.
"Sakura tell Shizune that I will be late to hospital for my shift." The blond said when she was standing next to the guardian.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Sakura replied.
"Let's go." The Hokage commanded and Tara placed her hand on Tsunade's shoulder and they both glowed blue. The vanished in a beam of blue energy.
"What do you guys think is wrong?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. Who do you think that Kinkaru guy is? Ino asked.
"Not sure, but I am going to find out!" Naruto said.
"I hope everything will be okay." Hinata commented.
Silently Itachi agreed with the Hyuga as he stared at the place were Tara vanished.
"What is it?" Tsunade asked as soon as she and Tara were back in her office.
"Followers of Kinkaru Uchiha are here in your world." Tara said.
"Who?"
"He was the leader of enemy group I fought back in Elysian. He was the threat we had to deal with for ten years. He is dead, Evana Uchiha killed him."
"She did?"
"Yes, I am sure she did." Tara replied with a glare.
"Then what are his men doing in the human world?"
"I would guess to try and take over the ninja world." Tara said.
"WHAT!" Tsunade exploded.
"They won't do it. I and the other guardian's will make sure of it. That is why we exist. Is to protect our villages." Tara tried to sooth her.
"That is why Aragon came here. To tell you where they are."
"Yes, he came to me yesterday as well to tell me along the same lines as today. He told me that the dragons had been spotted at the boarder of Lighting and Rice."
"That is troubling." Tsunade said as she sat down in her chair with her finger interlaced in front of her.
"I will do everything within my power to protect you and the village Lady Hokage. You have my word." Tara said and she put her right arm over her chest and bowed to Tsunade.
"Good. You are dismissed unless you have anything else to say."
"No. I do not."
"Then dismissed Tara." Tsunade commanded.
"Bye." Tara vanished.
"I wonder what was wrong with Tara?" Naruto questioned as he and the rest of team seven and Itachi walked down the street.
"I'm not sure." Sakura answered.
"Brother." Sasuke said as he looked at Itachi who was walking next to him.
"Yes?"
"You know the elders wish to speak with her."
Yes, he did know. The Uchiha elders had come up to his father mother to talk about meeting the Fire Guardian.
^^^FLASHBACK^^^
"Fugaku we need to speak with you" Kito, the head elder demanded.
"Yes, Lord Kito?"
"We want to meet the Fire Guardian. We want you and your family there during that time."
"Why, if you wish to speak with her, there is no need for us to be present." His father explained.
"You are the head family of clan, you must be there." Another elder spoke up.
"She has the Sharingan and we want to know how our Keki Genki is present in a non-human." Kito said.
"If that is what you wish, then we will be there."
"Inform the Guardian of our decision. We will wait for you in the grand meeting hall. Be there in one hour." Kito demanded and turned to leave the clearing."
"Yes, head elder." Fugaku replied.
He turned toward Itachi and Sasuke.
"Inform the Guardian of this."
"Yes, father." Itachi replied.
He wondered how this would play out in the end. It will be interesting.
^^^FLASHBACK ENDS^^^
"HEY TARA! OVER HERE!" Naruto yelled out as he saw her walking toward them from a side street.
She looked up from gazing at the ground and smiled at Naruto.
"Hello Naruto, everyone."
"Excuse me Lady Guardian but….." Itachi started.
"Call me Tara, Itachi." She said.
"Very well…. Tara I have something I need to speak with you about."
"What is it?"
"The Uchiha elders want to have a meeting you and my family." Sasuke said.
Tara looked at him funny. She had just had an argument with the head elder. What could they possibly want from her so soon?
"They wish to know how and why you have the Sharingan." Itachi answered her silent question.
Tara nodded, "Aw, I see. Very well. When?"
"In about twenty minutes." Sasuke answered.
"I see. Very well. I guess we should get going."
"Right" Sasuke said.
"Then I guess we will see you guys later. You still own me a spar Tara!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Of course Naruto. I did not forget."
"Alright. Bye!" he yelled as he jumped up to a nearby roof of a building and disappeared.
"Bye guys." Sakura said and she walked off ahead of them and vanished into the people around them.
"Let's go." Tara said and the two brother led the way. She was in her human form and walked behind the two bothers as they made their way to the Uchiha compound.
As they came up to the entrance to the compound Tara saw two members of the clan standing guard on either side. She saw the two men look at her as she passed them, going inside the compound. They did not trust her or they were worried about the sons of the clan head being with a stranger, probably both.
The three kept walking and Tara took in her surroundings. Woman and children filled the streets with noise. Mothers speaking to friends, and watching their kids at the same time. Men and woman, shinobi walking around watching everything around them. Some of them spotted her and stop to stare.
Both of her escorts saw and glared. The ninja continued walking after giving small bows to two heirs.
Family owned shops and food stalls were open, people trying to sell their goods to others. An elderly woman saw Itachi and Sasuke and beckoned them over to her jewelry stall.
"It is good to see you too." She said.
"Grandmother." Itachi said as a greeting and a small bow and Sasuke just nodded.
"I see you have a guest. I have never seen you around dear." The woman said as she gazed at Tara.
"No Ma'am. I am a friend of these two." Tara said as she smirked at the two men.
"I know who you are…. Lady Guardian. I remember you from before the Third World War. That human form was the same one you used back then. It is a pleasure to have you back within the village again." She said with a small smile and a deep bow of respect for Tara.
Tara just stood there. This woman remembered her from more than ten years ago? That was just unbelievable. The woman was still bowing, it had to stop.
"Please rise. You do not have to bow to me. I guess I did not think people would remember. Most of the village does not know the Guardian's exist. What is your name?"
The old woman stood up and smiled.
"You may not now this but the civilians of the village has no idea who the guardian are, but some shinobi do. Most of them are ANBU, but I was a ninja before I retired. My name is Hina."
"It is a pleasure to meet you Hina, however we must be on our way. We have a meeting with the elders." Tara relied.
"Of course. Forgive me. Don't them intimidate you Tara, stand strong." The grandmother said with a smirk.
"Don't worry, I know how to handle a bunch of old stuck-up elders." Tara replied as her eyes shifted to lighting blue for a second, allowing the woman to see her dragon eyes before they faded back to onyx.
"Goodbye grandmother." Itachi and Sasuke said and the turned and went down the road with Tara following after them.
They walked a couple of minutes more until they came up to a white building with the traditional style red roof, sliding paper doors, and a wrap-around porch. The main entrance to the building were dark wood doors with the Uchiha clan crest cared into the two doors. Big steel handles finished off the doors.
There were two guards standing in front of the closed doors.
"The Elders and your parents are already inside Lord Itachi and Lord Sasuke. You will go in now and the Guardian will wait for permission to enter" One of the guards said.
Itachi just nodded and the guard opened the let door open slightly, enough for the two heirs to enter. The guards went first and then Sasuke. Itachi looked back at Tara and she nodded.
The door shut behind him.
She sighed, well if this was a meeting between the guardian and the elders then she might as well looked the part. Her training clothes changed into her black skin tight guardian gear with her dragon ANBU mask over her face. Her cloak around her shoulders and the hood down. She decided to forgo her twin swords but kept her hidden blades within her black and red design arm guards. Her eyes stayed black in case she needed to switch to her blue ones for an intimidation factor against the elders.
Finally, after five of waiting (which felt like an hour) the doors to the meeting hall opened. She stood straight and regal. When the doors opened completely Tara made her way into the room. Her footsteps made no sound as she walked forward. The elders were sitting on a raised platform with all elders present. The head family was of the left side of the room, sitting on soft cushions just like the elders were.
Tara scanned the room with her senses, there was a sound proof jutsui in place so nothing could be heard from outside. She heard the heartbeats of everyone speed up as they gazed at her. Tara smirked to herself, she had to admit she did look scary and intimidating in her uniform.
Tara came to a stop as she came into alinement with the head family and silently gazed at the elders. She saw Kito's eyes narrow. She knew exactly what he wanted from her.
She put her right fist over her heart and bow slightly to him and the other elders.
"You have called me here Uchiha Clan Elders for what purpose?"
"Tara Uchiha, Guardian of the Hidden Leaf Village, we have summoned you here because of powers you poses." Kito sneered at her with a glare.
Tara straightened and her eyes narrowed, "What is it you want?" her voice hard.
"You, a nonhuman has the Uchiha's Keki Genki, the Sharingan." Another elder spoke.
Tara eyes narrowed further, "Do not disrespect me elders. It will not go over well."
"Why?" Kito asked, "How could you have our clans bloodline limit!?"
Tara just looked at him as if he was crazy, not that he could see. She reached up and took off her mask, strapping it to her hip. As she opened her eyes they were the lighting blue color of her dragon eyes.
"Tell me Kito, do you know your family history?"
"Do not insult me dragon!" he said with a glare but quickly looked away from her eyes.
"Surly you know who you are descended from?" Tara asked.
"A distant relative of yours Lady Tara." Itachi spoke up and she glanced over at him.
"Yes, Itachi." She replied and look back at the confused elders.
"The Sage of the Six paths had a son, which is your ancestor. However the Sage was part dragon. His father the full blood dragon, at least my tenth or eleventh older cousin on my mother's side. The sages mother was the first human to ever us chakra, Kaguya." Tara summed up.
"My family is the original Uchiha clan." Tara said and the elders became livid.
"You are nothing but a….!" Kito started but stopped as he gazed in Tara's eyes.
Her sharingan had activated as she had felt his anger spike.
"Choose you words carefully elder Kito." She hissed.
"How come we cannot transform in dragons?" a female elder asked, trying to keep the dragon calm and not snap at Kito's foolishness.
"Your clan has been inbreeding for years. Without new blood in the clan the dragon DNA is cancelled. Tell me how close in relation have you had two people marry?" Tara asked with a straight face.
"The closest has been seventh cousins." Another elder said.
"WHAT!" Tara all yelled, a tiny bit of a dragon roar thrown into the yell, "You are all idiot's. No wonder the clan cannot transform." Tara said with disgust.
"You dare too…" Kito stared.
Tara transformed right before their eyes. Her sharingan still activated and her wings spread out to their maximum.
"YES I DARE TO INSULT YOU!" She said fearsly.
The elders stayed silent.
"Itachi." Tara said and he looked up to see her staring straight at him. A inner fire within her eyes.
"Yes.."
"When you become head of the clan, are you going to allow marriage to a non-Uchiha?" Tara asked.
"Yes." He said and did not break eye contact. He could see in own feelings about the inner family marriage reflected in her eyes. They thought the same way.
"Itachi Uchiha as the elders of this….." Kito said as he turned his attention to the heir.
"I believe the position of an elder is to be a council of advisors and nothing else? To help the head of the clan make up his or her mind on a rule for the clan? Not to make their own." Tara said as she glanced at the elders.
The elders again were silent.
"It is." Fugaku answered.
"I believe we are done here." Tara said.
"No we…" Kito again began.
"You wanted to know why I have the sharingan and now you know. I gave you insight on why your clan cannot transform like your ancestors. This meeting is over." Tara commanded.
"You are right Lady Tara. The elders could have just come to me or my sons for their answer. You did not need to be brought into this. Please forgive us." Fugaku said as he stood up and bowed.
Tara turned to him and her wings folded close to her back and she bowed," I accept your apology. Thank you Fugaku Uchiha."
"I will not…" Kito yelled.
"This meeting is over." Fugaku said with a hard glare.
After a few seconds four of the five elders stood up and made their way out of the meeting all through a side door.
Mikoto Uchiha came up to Tara and bowed, "It is an honor to meet you Lady Guardian."
"The pleasure is all mine Lady Mikoto Uchiha." Tara replied and bowed as well.
"Please just Mikoto."
"Then Tara will be fine."
"I was wondering if you would do us an honor and attend the Uchiha festival in a month from now?" Mikoto asked as she, her family, and Tara made their way out of the main exit.
Elder Kito was totally forgotten, until Tara turned slightly and smirked at him with her blue eyes showing amusement and victory.
As she and the Uchiha main family made their way down the main street of the compound Tara answered.
"It would be an honor to attend. Is it a formal occasion?"
"Yes and no. Most of the festival has to do with the food and game stalls but the main meeting hall hosts a formal dinner and ball for those who are invited. I am officially inviting you to it." Mikoto explained.
"Well how can I say no? It sounds fun." Tara replied as crossed her arms over her chest, her wings close to her body.
As the group kept walking Tara noticed some people stop and staring at her. Her sharingan had deactivated and were now blue. She could not blame them really but I felt good to be in her dragon form, even if it was just a disguise.
"Tara people are staring." Sasuke said with his hands in is pants pockets.
"I know." She replied not making a move to transform.
"Well you might want to transform in a human." He said.
"Why? They don't bother me."
"I know but you are making some of the clan nervous. Some are glaring and following us." Sasuke continued.
She huffed out a small growl, "Fine."
The group stopped, think she need to be still the transform but she kept walking with her arms folded. Fire erupted around for six seconds and died away to reveal her human form in the blue and white training outfit.
She stopped and turned to the Uchiha head family and raised a black eyebrow, "Well?"
They all came out of their surprise and walked toward her. The other members of the police force stopped following them and moved on.
After a few minutes the group up to the head household and Fugaku opened the door. It was around three o'clock the family still had not had lunch.
"Would you like to come in for something to eat?" Mikoto asked.
"No thank you I have some things I need to do. Maybe some other time?" Tara asked.
"Of course. Oh and the festival starts on the seventh of March at six o'clock."
"I will be there." Tara replied and waved goodbye to the Uchiha family.
Itachi and his family watched her walk down the road. Once she was about twenty feet away she turned back and smirk, then burst in a tornado of…. roses.
Itachi was not suspecting it as he was betting on the tornado of fire she usually uses. The roses were red and black and they swayed into the breeze and Itachi caught a whiff of them as the fell to the ground.
It was going to be interesting to see what the guardian did next to surprise him. If he was catching onto her character he was sure it would be something amazing.
He smiled as he walked through the front door of his house.
"My Lord?" A blue scaled dragon asked as he stepped into a dark room.
A chair of dark colored wood was at the end of the room and a red carpet led from the door to the throne. Four torches in the room were unlit. The throne empty.
"What?" a growl was heard and a dark figure was seen sitting in the chair. The doors slammed shut. The torches were lit and a dim light flooded the room.
"I bring news from one of our spies in Leaf Village territory." The servant said.
"What is it?"
"The Fire Guardian, Tara Uchiha has been seen. She has returned."
The dark figure sat up in his chair and the light from the fire revealed his face. He was a dark blue, almost navy blue in color dragon, with green forest eyes and a smirk upon his face.
"Really? Now all we have to do is see if the Water and Earth Guardians have returned to their village as well, then we can begin phase one of our plan."
"Yes. My Lord." The servant dragon replied with a nod.
"Go and tell Kuna that she and her team will be heading to Earth in three days. Dismissed." The dark leader commanded.
"As you wish….. Lord Kinkaru."
The room was empty and dark once again. A evil and chilling laugh echoed throughout the room and the hallways beyond.
