First True Blood

The day after my second embarrassing experience of my own uncontrollable body, I met up with Kakashi-sensei. He seemed to have something planned special for me. He was oddly serious in his visible eye.

"We have a B Rank mission. Prepare for a three day trip."

My eyes widened. We had a real mission? An actual dangerous mission? Something we might be killed doing? - though I'm still unsure if I can truly die, though Kurama couldn't and yet I killed him accidentally...

"Hai. I am already prepared. My seals include preservation, and I include a month of provisions in each. So in essence I am always prepared for a long term mission should it so require."

He nodded, "Then we leave immediately. Just inform Uzuki-San."

I simply created a clone and sent it off. Apparently Kakashi hadn't expected that, though it didn't actually surprised him. He just sighed it off.

"Meet me at the gate in five minutes." With that, he shunshin'd off. I couldn't help but giggle at his unpreparedness for my being prepared. It was just unexpected.

I just walked towards the gate, keeping pace with nothing but myself. A slight wind billowing my hair behind me. Several of the younger males looking at me with steamy expressions. A young teenager with a girlfriend getting slapped, both looking at me with envy. 'It really does feel good to look pretty. And to show off, hehe.' It was kinda funny, the elders glared at me, but the younger people changed when I actually started developing breasts…

My little walk ended at the gate, with a missing Kaka-baka. He was actually late for his own appointment, on a serious mission? Must have actually had something to do with the Hokage? He seemed to want more time than-

I was cut out of my thoughts when I felt a shunshin land next to me.

"Yo! My cute little genin." He turned serious "We are to take B-Ranked mission - we are to track ex-chuunin missing-nin Masuta Kogai - his crimes are killing a teammate, abandoned his duties, and theft of classified documents. He disappeared over a week ago. Our objective is termination of the traitor."

My eyes widened at that. We were going to kill people. 'No. He is going to have ME kill the traitor. That's why he's acting like this. He is making this mission my first kill. Getting my first blood out of the way before the Chuunin Exams!" I actually couldn't place a person Naruto himself killed besides Kakuzu, and that was years from now in this timeline. 'Why now?'

"I will be following your lead in this mission. You have full leadership, and I will follow your orders."

"Huh?" I couldn't help but blink a few times at him. 'I'm team leader?' - "I understand?"

He just gave me an eye-smile as I took my responsibility in.

I sighed, coming to terms with the mission finally. "Understood, do we have anything with his scent?"

He pulled out a shirt - probably from the man's closet or something - I nodded, and proceeded through a set of hand-seals, hidden by my sleeves - something that became natural, even if my hands are usually uncovered. I slapped the ground in front of me, and a normal sized twin-tailed fox, blood-red with black tipped ears and tails, appeared.

"Hime-Sama? You need assistance?"

"Hai. Kyouta, we are to track down a traitor. I would appreciate it if you could lead us to him?"

"I understand. Do you have his scent?" Kakashi moved the shirt in front of Kyouta for him to sniff. After a moment he motioned he had it. "Okay! Follow me! Yattaaa~!"

I blinked at his enthusiasm. It wasn't often I dealt with the fox clan, but some of them were either really enthusiastic, or childlike, and it was difficult to tell which at times. Kyouta was actually several hundred years old himself, and one of the best trackers of the clan. It was pretty amazing that over half the pack was between one and three hundred years of age. The rest under or over the number. They were an oddly aged race.

We took off after him, close on his tails. Jumping up and through the trees, it seemed he had experience doing this as well, something I hadn't actually expected. He was obviously trained, especially since that man had left Konoha over two weeks ago, and his scent should be nearly non-existent. At least I doubted I could pick up on it. Maybe he was just close-by? Even so, I believed he was just a great tracker.

It actually only took us a mere five hours to near the end of the scent trail. Kyouta's quick pace - impressive even by our standards - put us near one of the bay towns by the ocean. We slowed down at Kyouta's insistence. "They are nearby Hime. About two-hundred meters ahead of us. I shall part with you here, I believe you can sense them easily from this short of a distance."

And indeed I could. There was actually a small camp. I could sense several people a short distance in front of us. One of them had far stronger chakra's than the rest, our target.

I nodded to Kyouta, "arigatou. I appreciate it, Kyouta." I gave him a big smile, just as he poofed away. He deserves a treat next time.

I looked over at Kakashi, who was staring at me expectantly. We needed to scout. If there were civilians involved, or bandits, we needed to know which.

"We need to scout. My fox clones would be perfect." He nodded in understanding.

I bit my thumb with a sharp canine, eliciting a small trickle of blood, even as the wound healed up. Without using hand-seals I melded the chakra required for a chi-bunshin. It could blow itself or dispel, depending on the situation, but more importantly it could shape-shift like me into different sizes. Kage-Bunshin just copied my form.

I let the small one-tailed fox-copy of myself head off to do its job while we waited. Eventually, after about an hour, the mini-fox memories returned, it had created a clone itself to relay the orders - something I absolutely loved about those two types of clones, they could create more themselves, and the dispels returned memories to me. I just couldn't get enough of that fact.

"There are three targets aside from our primary target. Bandits. With our missing-nin as leader, they plan to kidnap and ransom some girls from a nearby village." My face started to turn dark at my next words, "While they wait for the ransom, they were going to 'have fun' with the women they take."

Kakashi sighed, and nodded. "Course of action?"

"It seems one of the men stumbled across my clone and was feeding her scraps of leftover rabbit. She could easily take out the three bandits if we wait until they gather together. One of them had actually taken my clone onto his shoulder when she showed no qualms about getting close…"

Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow slightly, but said nothing.

"Apparently this is her plan… She wanted to stay alive long enough to blow them up herself…" I couldn't help but giggle at my own self's actions. Kakashi just shook his head.

"So the plan is to get in position to take out our primary target. You will be my backup. If I freeze, I will probably need your help… The signal for my attack will be when my clone kamikaze's the other three nearby."

"A decent strategy, but how do you plan to take him out?"

"...My new weapons are ranged. If I miss, I will no doubt have already revealed my position, so I will just continue until he's either dead, or I am in trouble - in which case you will provide support, or kill him from behind."

"...Understood. Will you be fine?"

I closed my eyes in thought, 'will I?' I couldn't tell, but i nodded anyways. "I will be."

He just shrugged, and we took off toward their camp.

We hid in the surroundings quite easily, our chakra compressed to hide our presence. My presence itself could be felt if one knew the calming feeling my chakra produced seeping into everything around me, but our target wouldn't be able to sense me directly.

I immediately located the gruff looking genin - a mid-twenty year old man, slightly on the heavier side, but well muscled and intimidating with his scarred face. I created and dispelled my orders to my blood clone, while watching the man sharpen a kunai. Two of the other men were around the campfire, and the third was coming from his tent with more alcohol.

The stench of their drunkenness was unavoidable. My clone waltzed up to the fire, and jumped up to a knee, then onto the shoulder of one of them men, waiting for the opportune moment. Our primary target looked up to the fox, giving it a hard look-over - he had obviously seen me around Konoha before, but couldn't place me. I could tell that much, and was grateful for his bad memory when he shrugged and went back to working his kunai over.

Moving into position, we waited for my clone's signal to move in. It came a few moments later, when the three bandits started talking about their last venture - something I didn't want to hear at all, and obviously my copy hadn't either.

BOOOOOM!

Immediately in action, I summoned two white senbon, pushing chakra into them to form my wind natured senfa. I twirled around on the tree branch, putting a spin on myself, and flicking my wrists to add even more spin as I threw the senfa towards the target.

He must have sensed my chakra buildup in the fance, since he twisted around, kunai in hand, ready to deflect my attack. Incoming towards his person were two whitish disc-looking weapons. Adjusting his position, he moved out of the way of the first senfa enough to avoid the brunt of it, but he took a slice through his shoulder, blood spurting out of the wound as it passed, but he kept his head.

The second disc-looking senfa he tried blocking with his kunai just as the first senfa met its target. Much to his horror, the blade dug into, and through his kunai, slicing through the wrist behind it, removing it, continuing on into his upper arm, just below the shoulder, nearly removing it, blood squirting out of the wound, and finally cutting open a decent sized slice in his upper back as he continually tried to evade.

I could feel the bile rising up in my mouth at the sight, and that I had caused it. He was dripping blood, one shoulder had a decent slice, the other arm dangling by mere skin and fat, and a long deep cut along his upper back. His good arm pulling out another kunai, while his face turned into an enraged snarl as I jumped down into the clearing.

"Y-You BITCH!" His eyes widened in realization at the fox and my colourings matched. "YOU! Fucking demon bitch! That was YOUR fox! KAMI! Damn you, demon! I'll tear you to shreds!"

He was murderous, I could feel the pitch darkness seeping in through his emotions. His absolute hatred for me. But I couldn't freeze. If I did, there could be some severe complications. I needed to get through this.

I summoned my senfa back into my hands with their inbuilt Hiraishin with a simple violet flash. Pushing more chakra into the wind bladed fan, they reformed completely. He started at me, attempting to close the distance.

I waved my right arm, pushing my senfa against the air in front of me, I twirled again with the flow, pushing chakra into the airflow I created, a heavy wind flew away from my body throwing the strong chuunin up in the air away from me. Coming back from my spin, I lowered my body slightly for increased accuracy, and released the fan in my left hand, an added flick to produce the needed spin, and followed through with my right wrist, sending both senfa through the air towards my floating opponent

As he flew towards the tree, I could see his eyes opening in horror. There were two more of my specialized weapons flying towards him. He tried to twist against my air pressure, but he hit the tree, knocking the breath out of him and holding him motionless for an instant.

My senfa reached their target quickly. The first one slicing right through his chest where his heart was, continuing through the tree behind him. The other through his neck, completely severing it, and through the tree as well. His head slowly separated from his body, and fell to the ground.

I couldn't hold my stomach anymore. Immediately I threw up the contents of that morning's breakfast. And then some more. The disgust prickling my skin under my outfit. Goosebumps across much of my body, and shivering letting me know I didn't like what I had done. Not at all.

Continuing to hurl up the contents of my stomach, I felt Kakashi softly patting my back, and rubbing my hair right where it feels nice behind my ears. Obviously he was trying to calm me down like he had seen before, while helping my body settle.

After a few minutes I had finally stopped. I was slightly dazed, and didn't want to move. Backing away from the spot, I looked up to kakashi… I wanted something more. "Shishou… could I, um…. hug?" I was still shivering, and I had never felt this terrible about myself before.

Kakashi stood rock stiff for a moment, taking in the shivering form in front of him. Tears welling in her eyes. Truly a child in this instance. But a hug? He hadn't given one before, nor had one since he was practically an infant. He pushed his worry aside though, and approached the trembling child in front of him, and stiffly settled his arms around her curled up form, attempting the meagre comfort the child had asked for.

Then she broke, her cries and sobs hurting his ears, her pain coming through her beautiful voice, a pain that shouldn't come from such a voice. He lightly picked her up moved them away from the area, it would be better to keep her from the sight of her first kill while in this state, let alone the other three she hadn't seen yet.

I could feel myself moving, but I didn't care. I just hurt, my past life had tempered me to avoid hurting others at all possible, and that killing is one of the worst things you could do. And here, I was taught to kill. It had nullified some of it, and allowed me to completely pull off the mission, but it still hurt.

Eventually I fell asleep in what I could tell was safe arms now. It was an awkward position, odd even, but it was safe, and I could let it all out. Eventually I drifted into darkness. A dreamless sleep. The security of the man holding me keeping the bad thoughts away.

I woke up in my bed, comforted by feminine arms around me, still in my panties, socks, and gloves, the rest of my outfit removed however. They were easily removable, even the shoes with my special vine-ribbons - for 3rd party removal in special circumstances. But the seals were too valuable to lose, as such, they only loosened upon my will.

My panties were stuck on because it wraps around my tail, though the piece above my tail was easily pulled apart from how I designed it… I had taken many precautions with my clothes for emergencies such as what I had just experienced.

I leaned into the comforting embrace behind me, and started purring, letting her know I was grateful for the comfort, even if she wasn't awake yet. Her hand had reached up to pet my head around my long ears, however, even though I could still hear her light breath of unconsciousness. Something she learned to do reactionary to my purrs. Her petting only intensified the situation and I went back to my heavenly dreams for the night, past horrors of the day forgotten.
