Paperwork, A Fireball, and Escaping
After Tsunade had left with Miyu, Iruka and I spent a good half hour organizing, filling, and stamping a lot of papers. When we were done, we focused on the door. " I can't believe you have to do this for a living Iruka." I picked up some more nails from Iruka desk.
" You get used to it. Besides, I kind of forgot about all of this week's work. Haha." That figures. " So how's your fire coming along." Iruka was hammering the door's frame into place. I passed him the nails when he was done.
I kept the door in place while Iruka hammered the hinges to the door, then the door to the wall." Great! I can almost breath fire without having to make hand sings."
Iruka stopped and looked at me dumfounded. "Are you serious?" I nodded. " That's amazing!"
" Well thanks. I guess." We stepped away from the repaired door. " I can also..." The rest was lost .A loud snap filled the room and the door once again flew past me. This time, the door hit me right on the face, knocking me down. " A crap."
" Where's Jose!" I wonder who that could be. Like I wouldn't know.
" Under here." I pushed the door away and stood up. " Did you seriously have to break the door again? Hey, what's with the ANBU?" Two figures stood behind Tsunade, each wearing a black cloak and an animal mask. A turtle and a hare. That's fitting. Wait a second... "... where's Miyu?" One of the cloaked figures stepped to my left. " She's under arrest."
" WHAT!?" The other ANBU stepped to my right. " We'll explain on the way there." The ninja clamped onto my armpits. " You to Iruka." We (well they) jumped out the window and hopped through the trees in a diamond formation. Tsunade was leading. I was being carried right behind her, and Iruka came last. I didn't struggle, it seemed a bit too late for that.
" Care to explain what's happening." Never heard Iruka sound so forceful.
The ANBU to my right began. " Lady Tsunade brought the girl to Kurenai in order for inspection. The second Kurenai saw into the girl's mind, both of them fainted into a trance-like sleep. A very powerful jutsu was probably placed on the girl in order to keep her memory locked. Kurenai must have activated the trap somehow. Fortunately, Kurenai and the girl seem to be safe for the moment. However, we need something to wake the girl. It can be anything, from a stab to somebody's voice."
So that's why they took me here in such a haste. But there is still something I don't understand. " Why would there even be such a jutsu in Miyu to begin with."
This time Tsunade answered. " That's the question isn't it. My guess is that she was sent to infiltrate the village or even on an assassination."
We soon arrived at a clearing in the forest. The only sign of human activity was a wooden cabin. There was only one room by the looks of it. " Why did you bring them here?" I asked. " This place looks deserted."
" Exactly." Tsunade opened the door but stayed put. " Remember, we are not sure what might happen." That's when I noticed I was trembling. Don't worry, she'll be fine. I wasn't too sure though. Miyu laid on a white bed, the kind you would expect a hospital to have. Right next to her was another ninja, Kurenai? They both looked peacefully asleep, but I knew better. I was surprised for a moment, but I could feel their lack of warmth. What really startled me was that I could feel their lack of warmth. For how long was I able to do that? " So, what do you think?"
" What have you guys tried?"
Tsunade reached for a scroll on a small wooden table a hadn't seen yet. " We've tried various jutsu, primarily genjustu. We also tried shock treatment and soaking them with water."
" Seriously?" Tsunade nodded. " Have you tried to raise the temperature?"
Turtle ANBU answered, " we haven't, but why would we?"
" When I first met Miyu, she was ice cold, so when I took her home, I raised the temperature."
Tsunade looked thoughtful. " If we take them to the hot springs, they might wake up."
" I have a better idea." I began to take my shirt off.
" What are you doing?"
" Just trust me, I'll explain later." I put my hands together and focused. The room quickly began to heat up. " Just a little more." A couple of minutes later, everything was hot. " There."
Kurenai opened her eyes and struggled out of bed. Turtle stepped over and put an arm around Kurenai. " Tsunade... I... the girl." She seemed exhausted.
" Don't try to speak Kurenai. Hey Jose, why isn't the girl waking up?"
" I fell asleep before she woke up. It could take a few hours." I glared right at Tsunade. " She does have a name you know."
" Tsunade... I have to tell you... something." Kurenai sure wanted to tell Tsunade something. " While I was in the girl's mind... I found something... like a cage." A cage? " In it... was her memories and such...*cough* there was also... a path that... led out of her... mind... it was like a mental... link to someone else *cough* *cough*"
" That's enough Kurenai. You've done more than enough. This girl is obviously some kind of spy. Take her," Tsunade pointed to Miyu, " to a very secluded place."
I stepped between the ANBU and Miyu. " Wait. You can't just lock her away."
" Sorry Jose, but this is out of your control."
" You too Iruka." I couldn't believe it. " I won't let you. It's not fair." I was losing control over my temper.
" Calm down Jose." I notice Iruka sweating.
" Why should I Tsunade?" I was panting for air..
" If you don't step away, we will have to take you down." The wood below my feet started to turn black.
" Just try!" I jumped back and a wall of flame separated me and Miyu from the rest.
" You can't escape!" I grabbed Miyu and put her over my shoulder. Is that so. I charged a fireball and fired it at the wall. " If you leave, we will go after you." Good luck. I jumped out of the hole and ran as fast as I could towards the forest. If I could only get to a river. Then I could definitely lose them.
I ran for as long as I could, but I had to stop. I laid Miyu down by a big oak tree. I'll get you to safety Miyu. Your not bad, I can feel it.
Meanwhile
Tsunade scanned the pile of ashes in front of her. " Iruka, why didn't you tell me he was at this level.?"
" I didn't know myself. He never told me he could control fire so well. In fact, today was the first day he said anything about his power."
" In any case, we need to find them. Iruka, get Neji and Shikamaru here as soon as possible."
" Roger." Iruka ran to find them.
" You two," The ANBU turned towards Tsunade, " bring Kakashi."
" Right."
" On it." the ANBU disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
" Kurenai, can you move?"
" I'm feeling better, but no. If you want to find my squad, they'll be at the training grounds."
" Perfect. Will you be fine by yourself." Kurenai nodded. Tsunade ran to the training grounds at a blinding speed. " That kid doesn't know who he's dealing with." Tsunade chuckled. " This should be interesting."
Finally, some action. Next chapter will definitely have some fights. Hopefully, I'll be able to type it before the sixth.
