Safety and Peace

Small continuation

Naruto walked towards the sisterhoods place. It was pretty much the same set up with the brother hood but there was a closed off area for bathing. Naruto shook his head, no one would dare enter there. If you did you might as well chop your balls then.

Naruto saw about 20 to 30 ladies in the traditional Assassin get up. Naruto knew most of them by their real names but he knew all of them by their code name. On missions they would only use code names. Their code names being their ancestors' names. Naruto sighed as he walked forward.

"Sisters, I am looking for Bina-"

One of the sisters raised a hand and pointed behind him. "Over there, Altair."

Naruto blinked. She was pointing behind him. That meant-

Naruto ducked immediately as he felt a fist go over him. Naruto spun around with a palm strike to hit the stomach. But suddenly his head was pushed down even more, as his attacker gracefully leaped over him. Naruto kept spinning and released his hidden blade, holding it up to the attacker's throat. As Naruto held up his blade towards his attacker's throat, he found a blade at his as well. Naruto looked at the hooded figure who had just attacked him and smiled.

"Why this is a strange greating, neh Bina-chan."

'Bina-chan' scoffed and growled playfully. "I told you not to call me that..."

Naruto sheathed his blade with a flick of his wrist and then moved his hand towards Bina's hood. Bina lowered her blade as well and let Naruto take it off. Naruto gently moved it back, not taking it off completely but enough to see her face. Naruto smiled at the white eyes but a faint purple hue. "so... no stuttering this time... Hinata-chan."

Hinata smiled at him. "Not this time Altair."

Naruto shook his head while laughing. "Well..."

Hinata blinked and then smiled. "Yes?"

Naruto looked up and then raised his wrist. "i wanted to thank you for the upgrade on the blades."

Hinata smiled and nodded. "Of course. Now did Kakashi leave yet?"

Naruto nodded. "Yea, the brother hoood let him go. We wanted to cause suspicion to increase the number of guarding nins."

Hinata tilted her head. "But why do you want that?"

Naruto shrugged. "They wanted to keep a tighter lid on the Sound invasion. We are assassins not warriors."

Hinata nodded. "Who is our target? Anzia-sama (the leader of the Sisterhood) said it was Orochimaru but she also said that we had our own mission."

Naruto shrugged. "Malik has not informed me. I will probably be sent to do some kind of paperweight job."

Paperweight was not the normal, 'document' stuff. It was more like information gathering. But all the assassins detested it to the core of their being. It involved being at the same place at the same time, while sitting somewhere for hours, stretching your senses. For all hopes, it was annoying to be sitting on a bench or rooftop.

Hinata giggled slightly. She knew that Naruto hated paperweights.

Naruto looked at her and sighed. "You know I will never get tired of you... the real you that is."

Hinata just settled down and smiled. She came up close and whispered. "Well, you know you always will have me..."

Naruto leaned down.

"Oh, how love birds are in the air"

Naruto blinked and turned around. His eye brow twitching. "Hello there... I assume you have something to say... Taam."

Taam, his annoying, older brother. The boy was always ranting about how the 'younger' ones should be more careful. Though Naruto had to admit, his advice was quite helpful but Taam might has well stabbed them since his constant doting and chatter might as well blow their eardrums out. Of course, Taam was a politician for Kumo.

Taam chuckled "Well, I just wanted to say~" Taam paused and got serious. "Malik told me that your targets are Kabuto, an undercover sound agent. That you can handle but … the big fish is Orochimaru. It is likely he will be going after the Uchiha."

Naruto stiffened.

Taam continued. "He will be at the Chuunin exams. I suggest you get your team through the forest fast. But if you do encounter Orochimaru do not engage. Kill Kabuto yes... but do not engage Orochimaru. You aren't ready."

Naruto opened his mouth to protest. But Taam held up his hand and quickly said "I am just repeating what Malik said. He didn't want to say it infront of everyone else because they would want to send a couple teams with you."

Naruto sighed and nodded. "Fine... I understand.

Taam nodded . "Good now I shall leave you two love birds to your... festivities."

Naruto and Hinata blushed.

Later

The sandaime puffed his pipe as he heard Kakashi's report. He was almost tempted to ask for a second listening but he wouldn't doubt one of his best ex-anbu's words. This was some pretty deep shit.

Sandaime contemplated. If they tried to force the ansewrs out of Naruto... that could lead to mix results. Naruto was not the one for … no... he was thinking in the wrong mindset. This was not the Naruto he knew. He was dealing with a totally new threat. But Sandaime couldn't bring himself to call Naruto an enemy. He had heard the 'targets' from Kakashi and all of them were definite enemies of Konoha. But why hide yourself then?

Sandaime rubbed his temples. It seemed he would have to resort to cloak and daggers once more.

"Kakashi. I want you to pretend nothing happened and tell Sakura and Sasuke. Ensure they do not confront him about it. I do not want to spring an explosive trap. We are dealing with a totally new Naruto and we do not even know what we are dealing with. "

Kakashi nodded and left immediately.

Sarutobi sighed once more. He yelled to his secretary. "GET ME DANZO!"

And there we go

I know its short but its something.
