A few hours into the Fire Country i started to feel auras closing in on me from all sides. Stopping I assessed that I clearly had no way out, and prepared for negotiation or battle. Being in the territory I was, wearing the insignia I was should've proven fatal. Neither Sand nor Mist were allies with Leaf and I was outnumbered. To my left I heard the leaves rustle, and smelled dog. One of my trackers stepped forward from the undergrowth in front of me.
"State your name and business in the Land of Fire." the silver haired man said evenly.
"I am Kitsuya. I am passing through." I said sternly, not letting my guard fall an inch.
"Do you have travel papers?"
"I do not."
"I will have to ask you to report to our Hokage in this case." he said with a relaxed disposition. Hardly moving an inch I sent a handful of shurikun at him and another kunai at each confirmed location of an assailant.
"I believe you will have to force me there." I said calmly before jumping up into the sky. Landing on a high branch I formed three flaming orbs. As they circled my upper body I looked down and tried to get a good visual on the assailants. Performing the handseals I inhaled and then dispelled a mist with a low acidity. The scent was clean, not like that of bleach but that of hospital cleaners. Feeling a slight chill I internally raised my body temperature a few degrees so that I would be able to work more efficiently. I knew that this was likely the adverse effects of the fuuinjustu, and knew that I would have to end this quickly. Looking at my orbs I felt a strange energy being emitted from them, I then saw one begin to flicked and then die out.
Never had I seen this happen before, at any point of exhaustion on mine or my sensei's part. In shock and confusement I watched as the other two did the same and then became light headed and started to fall. My last thought was hoping that I had made the acid mist with a high enough pH level to at least injure the ninja enough to leave me alone and not return.
The group of ninja and ninken picked up the unconscious teen and packed her unceremoniously onto the ninken's back before trecking back to the village. "Lucky we were just finishing up the mission anyway, eh guys?" the outspoken brunette male quipped. The silver haired male and the over-dressed male said nothing in response, but the dark haired female made a small noise in contempt, happy that the fight was over without actual fighting and bloodshed.
When the group made it back to the village they reported to the Hokage as was standard procedure, and left the unconscious girl bound and in her care. After the four ninja left the Hokage paced in front of the intruder mumbling to herself. "What will I do with you... What will I ever do with you..."
The girl smelled of the forrest, and her health looked as though it had gone to atrophy in late years. Sighing with a small frown the Hokage placed a well manicured hand on the girl's forehead and pumped healing chakra through the girl's body.
Slowly I started to regain my consciousness and noticed that I was indeed not in the forest any more. There were binds wrapped around me and an older woman stood before me pumping a foreign chakra into my body through my forehead. I decided to take control of the situation by pushing her chakra out and using my own to heat up her hand briefly. Taking notice that I was awake and quite aware of my surroundings she stepped back and discontinued her sharing of chakra. I would not be the first to start speaking, so I kept looking at her with an uninterested gaze.
"State your full name and clan origins ninja." the woman demanded.
"I am Kitsuya of the Uzumaki clan." I said in a proud but not pompous voice. This village would probably do the same as the last few and try to have me examined for my clan secrets.
"You bear affiliation to Kirigakure and Sunagakure. Explain your circumstance."
"I was born in a civilian village. I first became ninja in Kirigakure, and escaped. I then was promoted to chuunin in Sunagakure and again escaped from the village." I elaborated vaguely.
The woman seemed interested now. "You do know that defecting from your village, no matter what rank of ninja you are, means that you are a rogue nin and can be turned in upon capture?" She questioned.
Sure of my flawless planning and tactical skills I smirked. "Please, check both bingo books. You will be pleased to know that I am not a wanted nin from either village."
The blonde woman cocked an eyebrow before delegating the task to her, what seemed to be, assistant. As the second woman searched the first and I had our own little staring contest. The second woman cleared her throat, "She's right Shishou, there is nothing in here from either village." the woman said meekly.
"Tell me. How does a young girl pull that one off. Did you have inside help? Is it a stolen hitai-ate?"
My smugness was gone and I saw that the only way I would get out of this would be telling the woman my whole story. "I was born in Yugakure and moved to Kirigakure to become a ninja with my mother, Uzumaki Maiyo. There I apprenticed under Terumi Mei until my mother was killed by the Yondaime Mizukage in his experimental attempts to extract our clan secrets from her body. Knowing that they would come after me next, Mei-basan smuggled me out of the village and arranged transportation for me to the mainland and created a cover story for me. If I'm correct the Kirigakure records state officially that I was killed by an animal attack.
"When I got to the mainland I travelled until I reached Sunagakure where I convinced the Kazekage to allow me to become a sand nin and still retain my mist paraphernalia. There I trained under Pakura until recently when I went on a mission and devised a plan to fake my death, escape the village, and still be free. According to Sand I was killed in action."
"Why did you leave Sand?"
In my mind I was getting frustrated, wondering if this was a game to her of twenty questions but still answered as vaguely as possible, but in a way that would still get me out of here. "Simply put, they too were planning to try and extract my clan's secrets from my body. I left before they could try. I know of no other Uzumaki as skilled in the clan jutsu as I, and I will do all I can to protect what rightfully belongs to my clan."
"A noble concept. So why did you attack my ninja?"
"There is no treaty or alliance in place between Konoha and any village that I am affiliated with to my knowledge."
A stunned look graced the woman's face. "Who is the current Kazekage?"
"Yondaime Kazekage-san. I'm sorry, but that seems a rather silly question to ask." I simply couldn't help myself, this woman was getting out of hand now.
"Shizune, contact Gaara-sama and have him look through for the date of death for an Uzumaki Kitsuya, with and without surname." she sighed out pinching the bridge of her nose. "And put all meetings and everything else on hold until this is resolved."
"Hai, Shishou." Shizune, the dark haired, slender woman responded and rushed out of the room.
"Ok, here's the deal. Until all of this is sorted out what's going to happen is you're going to sit in my office nice and quiet. If I ask you questions you talk. Otherwise try not to be a burden or your accommodations will be downgraded." said the blonde.
