Eye of the wolf
"So do we have any new information? Shizune?" Tsunade asked sitting at her desk.
Shizune flipped through some reports, "Unfortunately no, so far all the groups that were sent out to capture her, were either unsuccessful in finding her, or neutralized"
Tsunade sighed, "It's like we're chasing a ghost" she said with frustration.
Shizune sighed as well, she is starting to feel like….
"Ha ha, you can't catch me!" the little blond girl yelled running past Ume and Naruto.
"Ahhh Stop!" A boy yelled chasing after her.
Ume giggled, "Konoha is so lively" she said with a smile.
Naruto was about to say something, when the boy caught up to the girl. He hit her in the back with frustration; she fell onto her face and started crying.
Naruto walked up to the boy, he knelt down next to him and turned him around, "You should never hit a girl, that's not gentleman like"
The little boy clinched his fists, "But she was driving me crazy" he said with frustration.
"You should never hit out of anger either," Naruto added.
The girl stood up, "Now apologize to her" Naruto told the boy.
"Gomenasai, Hiromi-Chan" the boy pouted.
"It's okay" the girl said in a low voice with a slight pout, batting her teary lashes.
"Now go play" Naruto said with a smile.
"Sayonara, Ninja-San" the boy called pulling the girl from her hand.
Ume crept up from behind Naruto, "Well well, look at you, Naruto-Sensei" she said bending down slightly.
"A-Aah.." Naruto smiled scratching the back of his head.
Ume smiled lightly, so Naruto stood up, and was about to say something, when Ume suddenly turned away, and glared at some near bushes.
"A-Are you alright? Ume" Naruto asked stepping towards her.
She didn't answer at first, and continued glaring at the bushes for a moment, but then her expression changed, "Uh it's nothing, let's go" she suddenly said, then closed her eyes and walked away with a faint smile on her lips.
Naruto stared at the bushes confused, before catching up with his friend.
"Do you think she saw us?" the ANBU with the green striped mask asked his partner.
He nodded no, "But it seemed like she sensed our presence," the black haired ANBU answered.
His partner didn't comment, but he agreed 100%.
"Ume wait up!" Naruto shouted catching up with his friend, "What's the matter? You're not acting like your self" he added standing next to her.
She gave him a blank stare that made him feel uneasy, "It's nothing" she said turning away and starting to walk off.
Naruto's uneasiness stuck with him for a second, but then he shook it off, "Hey! Where are you going?" he shouted running after her.
The day finally came to an end as Naruto and Ume slowly walked to Naruto's apartment, "My first impression about Konoha was right, it is a very lively place" Ume said with a smile.
Naruto smiled with content, proud of his village, "But it's a very cold one too" Ume added shivering.
"Well actually it usually isn't, but we're experiencing some very weird weather nowadays" Naruto said with a smile.
Ume smiled back at him, but it was obvious that her mind was somewhere else.
"Something wrong Ume?" Naruto asked with a concerned look.
"What? I'm fine" she said with a pale smile that she obviously was forcing out, "Man I'm freezing!" she suddenly shouted in a giddy voice.
But Naruto knew she was acting, yet he couldn't say anything.
Naruto and Ume stayed up late that night, laughing and joking. They soon found that it was already 1 A.M.
"Maybe we should go to sleep now" Naruto suggested standing up and stretching.
Ume remained as she was, "You go ahead, I don't feel tired yet. Maybe I'll do some dishes or something" she said smiling.
Naruto shrugged, "Sure, whatever" he said simply taking off his orange jacket and staying in his black T-shirt.
Ume watched him, smiling calmly, as he crawled into bed, and in no time he was fast asleep and snoring.
Water splashed as the mixture of ANBUs and Jōnins ran through the empty streets.
"I've heard there's a sighting of her, here in Konoha!" One of the Jōnin said, running next to his friend.
The long haired blond paused for a moment, staring at the backs of the two ANBUs running ahead of them, then she said, "Not just that, I think they said she was at the Hokage mansion too,"
His eyes widened, "Enough you two, focus on your mission now" a third older Jōnin said running ahead of them.
"Hai" the two answered in obedience, jumping onto the roof of a nearby building.
She slipped through the window quietly, and stood on the dusty floor. She looked around cautiously, fortunately for her, there was no one there.
She walked along the large bookshelf; she read the titles, nothing important.
She quickly left the room, and snuck into the next one, there was only a bunch of scrolls in one corner, she crouched next to them and took a quick peek, nothing interesting.
The next room was locked and so was the next, she decided to get back to them later, if she didn't find what she needed in any of the other rooms.
She snuck down the hall, suddenly she heard footsteps, she pulled out a kunai as she melted into the darkness, she waited patiently. The sound of high heels hitting the floor got louder, her silver eyes narrowed as she strained to see the unexpected visitor, it was a woman in a black kimono, she was holding a pile of documents as she walked past the unlit hall.
The woman with the short black hair was about to completely pass the hall when she suddenly stopped, "Huh?" she mumbled peering at the dark hall.
The silver-eyed ninja tensed and her grip got tighter on the kunai, ready to attack, but then the women stood straight, and started walking away again.
The ninja stayed in her position for a while, to ensure that she was alone once more. She stepped out of the shadows and looked around, there were many rooms, but none of them seems to hold what she is looking for. She peeked around the corner, there are more rooms to search, but then again it's dangerous to walk out into a lit place.
She quickly made her decision and stepped out, she darted over to the nearest room, she opened it and slipped in. she looked around her, the room was completely empty, what kind of luck is this?
She moved on to the next, it was filled with documents; finally, her luck is changing. Time passed quickly as she searched though the documents, with out realizing she spent almost an hour in there searching, which was very unprofessional like for her.
"What are you looking for?" she suddenly heard a voice say from behind.
She turned around surprise, usually no one is able to sneak up on her like that, that means this blond woman standing in front of her is very skilled. She didn't let any of her emotions show, and she stood ready staring at the woman.
Tsunade stared at the masked ninja standing in front of her; she instantly noticed the silver and black murderous eyes, this was the ninja everyone had been looking for.
"What did you come here for?" Tsunade asked maintaining her relaxed position.
The girl didn't answer, she slowly started shifting her way to the window. Tsunade noticed that, she also noticed that she was holding a document tightly.
"What's that? What do you need from here?" Tsunade said, starting to pump chakra into her fist.
The girl stood in front of the window, her blowing hair shining in the silver moon light, she stared Tsunade in the eye for one second, and within that second, the two understood each other:
"I don't want to fight you, but I will kill you if I have to…"
"And I can't let you leave, you are a criminal"
And the moment that second was over, the two sprung into action….
Tsunade charged at her with the first punch, she sort of felt bad for trying to hit a person, a kid, so hard, but she shook it off, this is an S-ranked criminal that ruthlessly killed innocent people.
The girl jumped to the side, and glared at Tsunade when she saw the desk, that Tsunade hit accidentally, smash to pieces. She jumped back, and stuck to the wall with her chakra. She charged back down, a powerful kick preceding her.
Tsunade stepped out of the way, and turned around pushing her index finger, enveloped in green chakra, towards the girls chest, the girl quickly turned to the side letting Tsunade pass. She then started performing a series of seals, Tsunade was impressed at the speed the girl was showing, but aside from that, Tsunade picked up on the lightning seals in-between.
Indeed the girl then yelled lifting her hand into the air, "Raiton: Rai Tori!"
A lightning bird suddenly appeared near the room's ceiling, Tsunade jumped back, trying to think of a way to do a counter attack. The girl lifted her arm high into the air, the girl yelled. "Shin-…. Eh"
Suddenly the bird disappeared, Tsunade stared at her cautiously, why did she disable her technique?
The girl glared at Tsunade, then pulled out three explosive tags, she threw them at Tsunade and jumped back, and in a poof, she disappeared.
*Explosion*
