Chapter 3: Blue and Orange

Red glanced up at the dark sky, it had been a few days since she left Utaku and she hadn't found any sign of humans. The food and water in his bag was running out, she needed to find civilization and quick. The road she was on was of dirt, with not many trees around. At least she didn't have to worry about accidentally starting a forest fire. She was camping out that night, with a fire next to her, as she continued reading off the map, marking all the places and little villages she'd already went by. A movement to her right caught her attention and she turned her head sharply, her hair swirling around. Nothing, she saw nothing. She knew someone or something was out there, something strong, certainly no one ordinary. It had been stalking her for awhile. Instead of running away, she had decided to wait; perhaps it can help her to find Konan. Not to mention, she was curious, what did they want, and who were they? She returned to her map eventually, her ears perked to make sure.

Within a blink she saw a blade shine under the moonlight, and it was rushing towards her, in an instant she moved out of the way, rolling over to her side and standing up. She dodged another strike from behind her, twirling out of the way. They were men in black and white, a mask to cover their face. Anbu. She remembered her father telling her about them, they were mysterious and a dangerous squad to face against. Three, she counted three of them, one hiding behind a tree, one behind her, and one in front of her, her knees were bent, reading the situation. They had started an ambush on her, they had planned it, someone wanted her, someone knew about her. However, they weren't the presence that she'd felt, it was almost as if these people had no chakra.

"You're outnumbered" The one in front of her said, his mask had fox ears, a white mask with red styled design on it. They crept closer and closer, and finally they all sprung on her, attacking her from all three angles. She jumped high up, avoiding their combo, flipped backwards mid air and landed on the ground behind them gracefully. As soon as she landed they were all on to her, a blade at her throat, her legs closed tightly held and her hand held low on her butt. She stood still. There was another presence, that was very settle as if trying to hide their presences, but she could feel them not too far away. Something was wrong, these Anbu's didn't seem as how her Father said they were, strong, dangerous, scary. They seem like normal ninja's, maybe just genin.

"Tell me, what do you know about Konan of the Rain village?" The charka of the hidden person flickered, like a disturbed fire, at the words she'd spoken out.

"You are to be taken with us, orders from our leader, you're in no position to ask questions. Any signs of resistance and I won't hesitant to cut your throat out" the Anbu behind threatened in a low voice. They didn't seem to be aware of the other person in the area. She closed her eyes, taking deep slow breaths. Something they didn't know about Red is that she was fast and smart, they underestimated her, and she didn't like it when she was underestimated. Her eyes behind her eye lid grew brighter when she opened them, she pulled her held arm close to her back before pushing it back hard into the man who held them who let go, instantly the blade dug into her neck, fresh blood dripped down her neck. Her arms were free now and the second Anbu who held her legs sprung to her arms, finding it more important to hold her arms then legs, to his misjudgment, she step back, and gave a hard high kick right onto the side of his head, sending him swirling and flying away, smacking into a rock, cracking it from the impact. She gave a back flip, fluttering her legs out to hit the third Anbu who had dared to cut her. Her feet connected with his chin, and he was lifted up and back. With grace and balance, she landed, crouching.

The Anbu behind her was getting up slowly, recovering from the hit she gave, the one on the rock seemed passed out, and the one in front of her wouldn't be able to get up anytime soon. The hit to the chin had rattled his brain a bit. She turned to face the one behind her, who took his blade out, she appeared behind him swifly and kneed his back, and jumped onto him to pin him down. He struggled to get her off, to get free, but Red only pinned harder.

"Tell me," She began. "what do you know about Konan of the Rain Village?" He replied with a grunt. She gave a twist on one of the arms she pinned down, he let out a cry.

"She went missing after the war!" He gasped out. "Her and a man named Pain!" Pain was also seen in wanted list booklet, her eyes wavered. She twisted his arm more. "R-Rumors has it they had started a criminal organization named Akatsuki, that's all I know! I swear!" Red let go of his twisted arm and grabbed his blond hair and pulled it back, he cried out again, she removed his mask. It was a mere boy, not too older than herself, he must have been forced to go on this mission or training. It explained how easy it was to take them out. She let go of him but he remained on his back.

"What else?" her eyes glowed again.

"I swear I don't know, that Hidden Leaf village would know the most if anything" She shoved his head into the ground and got off of him, she believed him, but the village was too far away, side stepping him she grabbed her untouched bag by the fire place. She could care less to why they attacked her, so with that, she walked away. Once she was far enough she paused.

"I know you're there" The strong charka feeling was still there, following her, and it wasn't those Anbu trainees. There was a rumble of the earth by here and there came out a plant, it was tall and long, and once it was out, it opened. There held a head, half white, half black.

"If it's Konan you seek, we can be of your service" It spoke. She stared at him, at it, she wasn't sure how to think of him, he was just like a half plant half human thing. "In fact, she's on her way as we speak"

Her eyes widen as a flash of blue and orange passed her, her hair flying around her at the movement around her, till the blue and orange became solid and there they stood, side by side with the plant being.
