Another six months later
Cinaed ducked under a bandit's blade, twisting around and jumping upwards. "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
Three of the ten bandits died instantly. Another two were injured.
"Larimaru! You SCUM! I'll kill you!" a bandit screamed.
Cinaed did not flinch. Unsheathing his glowing white tanto, he sliced through the remaining bandits.
The clearing was silent.
The only person left dropped to his knees.
"That jutsu...took so much out of me..."
Whipping out a soldier pill, he popped it into his mouth.
"Almost to Konoha...Just a while longer..."
The Hokage sat in his chair. Sitting in the corner, Naruto read a scroll of D and E-Rank Jutsu he had lent her. Kakashi, in jonin garb, sat on the chair in front of him.
"So we have finished ironing out the details of the Kazekage's visit, correct?"
Kakashi nodded.
At that moment, the Hokage's secratary came in.
She curtsied. "Hokage-sama, a foreign nin requests audience with you. Hwowver, one eye is covered, the opposite of Kakashi-san's, and I cannot see his face under the mask he has on, similar to Kakashi-san's as well. His forehead protector bears a spiral."
Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned. "Send him in."
