All of it really makes me happy. And on behalf of my buddy, here's the next chapter. :D:D Please enjoy.

Dangerous Mission

I led the other three girls down the road to attractions that were there and showed them my old home.

"Why did you leave here in the first place Suzu?" Sakura asked me with some confusion.

I laughed slightly at the question. 'Should I tell them?'

"Do you really want to know the answer to that question?" I mused with a small smirk.

"Why else would she ask it?" Ino asked me with annoyance.

"Y-you can tell us Suzu," Hinata said shyly, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I stopped and looked back at them with half a smile.

"I killed a sensei here and had a tracker ninja come after me to kill me in return," I said with amusement.

Both Ino and Sakura's expressions fell with one of those 'Oh my god she's crazy' faces. Hinata looked at me with some worry before dropping her hand. 'I told them they probably didn't want to hear it.'

"Did you kill that tracker ninja too?" Sakura asked,

"No, he cheated and brought two people with him and beat the crap out of me. Then he said if I ever came to the Land of Waves again then he'd kill me for sure," I laughed again, knowing that it was creeping them out.

My golden eyes caught sight of a ninja teleporting elsewhere and I knew that something was up. 'Damn, they'll attack me and then if I'm found out…'

I looked around the area to see if there were any more ninja hiding. 'There was only one more but it left with the other one… I should get them out of here.'

"We should keep moving," I said as I started to walk again.

At that point, Hinata stayed close to me, feeling the danger around her and both Sakura and Ino stayed a little back.

"Are there going to be ninja coming after you?" Hinata asked me quietly, watching around her.

I sighed with defeat, "Yes. You three should leave me on my own. That way you won't be involved."

"B-but then you're at a disadvantage," she stuttered.

"That's alright," I laughed slightly.

I didn't realize that I had led them to an open are where there were no people, only trees surrounded a small area. 'Oh damn.' I drew a kunai and used it to cut my thumb.

Blood came from the wound and I drew a scroll before opening it and sliding my thumb across.

"Sky style; Hawk's Eye jutsu!" I called into the silence, summoning Virid.

The brown hawk flew into the sky and used its powerful eyes to spot any signs of danger. I shared its vision, seeing what Virid saw over the trees. He was a large hawk, almost the size of my llama in length.

"Be on your guard guys. There are five ninja coming our way," I said to them, looking behind us.

"What?!" Sakura and Ino gaped at me.

"They're coming in like ten seconds! We should separate!" I stated sternly, grabbing Hinata's hand and running forward.

Sakura and Ino looked at each other for a second before separating and heading towards the forest at the sides.

Hinata and I ran through the trees, trying to find a way back into the village. 'Damn, I should have never allowed them to come… Now even Hinata is in danger and that's the last thing I would have ever wanted to happen.'

"Virid, do you see them?" I called, looking up above me.

I had to cut off out sight sharing in order to see where I was going. And unlike my llama Virid was an old enough summon to know how to talk.

"They're closing in… Three of them are tailing you and the other two split up to go after the two girls," he said as he flew lower above the trees to talk.

'Damn. This sucks royally! I can't believe I decided to come here when I knew the danger I was putting everyone in!' My ice blue hair blew in the wind as I pulled Hinata along.

"I'm really for you being dragged into this Hinata. You'd be the last person I would have wanted to get involved with this bag game of cat and mouse," I said with apology, completely annoyed at my stupidity.

"I-it's alright. I'm sure we can get away," she tried to assure me.

'I want to get you away unscathed. I don't care about me…'

"Virid, do you think you could stall at least one of them?"

"I can try. I'll come back to you when I have the chance," Virid said as he turned around and flew back towards the three shinobi following us.

I let go of Hinata's wrist and stopped while turning around to face the way we had come. Hinata stopped a mew meters away, looking back at me with worry.

"Keep going Hinata. I'll try to stop anyone who comes through here," I told her, drawing a kunai and a few shuriken from my pockets.

'Virid should be able to take down at least one of them… That shinobi is known to me by making mistakes and underestimating my abilities.'

"Are you sure? I don't think it's a… good idea," Hinata said quietly.

"It's alright. If I do this, then they won't be able to come after you and you won't get hurt," I said with a content smile, "I get hurt all the time, so it doesn't matter to me."

Hinata was about to say something but I kept going.

"Besides, it's my fault that you're in this stupid mess. This will be my way of getting you out… If you get the chance, go find Iruka Sensei and tell him what's going on. If I don't come back to the group before the end of the day, then don't look for me."

My eyes had become red, showing my Sharingan eyes because of the cloudy, wet weather. I could see two ninja coming closer, going to reach us soon. 'She has to get out of here!'

"Now Hinata! Run!" I demanded, looking at her with a rather cold stare.

She got the message and started to run the way we had been going.

"There you are, you little murderer!" one of the shinobi shouted as he threw a kunai at me.

'Too slow…' I deflected it with my own kunai and heard it hit the ground.

"How about you skip the kiddy games and let's play a real game?" I asked with a smirk.

There was no point in hiding my Sharingan from them since they knew I had it.

"You know, you're cocky for someone your age. A little too cocky for a kunoichi," said a voice from behind me.

'What did he just call me?! That's it, now I'm mad!' I did selected hand signs and held the last for a moment.

"You just made a big mistake, because I'm not a kunoichi… I'm a real ninja!" I shouted at him, "Fire Style; Fireball jutsu!"

I completed the hand sign before I blew that flame through my fingers. He tried to dodge, but I followed after him closely, though still missing because of short range. 'Damn, I almost had him… I need to do this properly.'

"Go after the other girl, I'll handle her," laughed the guy I had attacked, telling the other to go ahead.

I turned and ran after the other shinobi, not going to let him hurt Hinata. Throwing three shuriken, I gripped my kunai and teleported behind him.

"I don't think so."

Two arms were locked with mine behind my back and the shinobi in front of me teleported away, out of the way of my shuriken. I watched him run ahead, after Hinata. 'God damn it! I can't let him get away!' My shuriken stabbed into my upper torso and I winced.

"Did you really think that would work?" the shinobi laughed as he pushed me forward.

As I stumbled forward, I pulled a shuriken out of me shoulder and dropped it to the ground.

"It was worth a shot," I mused, pulling another one out of my stomach and throwing it to the side.

'I wonder if he knows any worth while jutsus to steal… Though I doubt it, since he's just seems like a regular shinobi. If he was more than just a regular shinobi then he's want to show it off.' I pulled the last shuriken out of my stomach and held on to it.

"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to attack me? I'm a little bored," I mocked with a smirk, trying to provoke him.

"Are you that eager to die?"

"I'm willing to do anything for my friends."

He ran at me, a kunai in his hand. I heard him coming closer at a fast pace and when he was nearly right behind me, I turned and threw the bloody shuriken. He dodged to the right and I jumped at him to make up ground. When my feet were back on the ground, I side kicked him in the ribs. The shinobi grabbed my foot and twisted it to the side, trying to turn my back to him. 'He's strong, but just not good enough… Even though that hooded shinobi was cheap, he fought better than this one…'

As he twisted me over, I placed my hands on the ground and jumped, spinning around and kicking him across the side of the head with my heel. The shinobi stumbled back, releasing me and I landed back on my feet with my hands still on the ground.

"You just think you're good, don't you?"

"Oh, I don't think I'm good," I laughed with a smirk, "I know I am."

Standing up straight, I watched the shinobi closely.

"What's the matter? You're holding back, so you must have orders from higher up not to kill me," I mused, looking to the kunai on the ground not too far away.

'I can do this… I can beat him no problem.'

"You're right. I do have orders to bring you back alive. Though, that doesn't mean that I have to," he laughed with evil amusement, fixing his posture.

"How disappointing, you are trying."

"You rude little urchin!" he hissed at me, throwing some senbon.

'That's right, get mad.'

I knocked the senbon to the side with my kunai and prepared for an attack. My Sharingan eyes watched the shinobi closely, waiting to copy any movement. There was the cry of a hawk in the sky and I knew Virid was coming back. 'Alright, time to step it up a notch.' The shinobi ran at me and I quickly jumped to the side, dodging whatever attack he may have been planning.

"Why you…"

He came at me again and I merely jumped back, away from him, and missed his attack again.

"Come on, is that all you've got?" I mocked him with a smirk, enjoying this.

'This guy's frustrated right now. If I can keep dodging, then I won't have to worry about him catching on…' This time he lunged and tried to punch me. I knocked his punch to the side with my left hand and poked him really hard in the stomach with two fingers.

"Virid, now!" I called into the sky.

Virid came swooping down, his talons spread and ready to take hold of anything. The large hawk grabbed the shinobi by his shoulders, sinking his blacks, razor sharp nails into his skin.

"Take him to the sky and drop him so he'll land above me… I have an idea," I told Virid, taking on his sight once again.

Virid flew to the sky above the trees, having a large opening to drop the shinobi in to. 'All right, I hope this works.' I make a face of determination as I looked up at Virid, seeing through his eyes where I was on the ground.

"Now!" I called, him flying directly above me.

I broke our sight sharing so I could see the shinobi coming as he fell to the ground. It wasn't a far fall, so the shinobi wouldn't die if I missed him. 'Here he comes…' I bent down, placing my hands on the ground and kicked my feet up into the air, hitting him in the chest and knocking him out. When my feet were back on the ground, Virid flew down and sat on a near by tree branch.

"What now?" he asked, watching me clench my kunai in my right hand, "Are you going to kill him?"

"It would be for the best of the world. This man is pathetic," I said with some annoyance.

"He's just a shinobi following orders. Do you really think it's wise to kill a man for following his orders?" Virid asked me with a curious tone.

'Damn, he's right… He was just following orders…'

A scream through the silence broke me out of thought and I turned around towards the sound.

"Suzu!" Hinata's voice screamed loudly from a ways away.

'Hinata!' I took off towards her voice, not giving it a second thought. If it was a trap, I didn't care. It was my fault she was tied into this whole thing, and I was sure as hell getting her out. 'I'm not going to let him hurt her! She shouldn't be involved in this at all… It's entirely my god damn fault!'

"Virid, go look for Ino and Sakura. See if they made it back to the others," I told him, running across the ground as fast as I could.

My chakra was running low and I knew I would only be able to last so much longer. 'I have to know if they're all okay… I have to know that they're alright too.'

"What id I don't find them?" he asked.

"Find Kiba and Sasuke and follow them around until I can find them," I told him, putting my kunai back in my pocket.

Virid took off towards the right, towards the village without another word. As I ran, my red Sharingan eyes caught sight off someone running through the trees, carrying someone over their back.

"There you are you bastard," I growled lowly before picking up my pace.

I couldn't throw anything incase I would hit Hinata. I didn't have perfect aim, only fair aim.

"What are you running away from?" I asked with mockery, coming up underneath him.

I looked up and saw that Hinata was knocked out. 'That bastard!'

"Shadow Clone jutsu!" he cried.

'What?!' Something tackled me to the ground and I quickly rolled it off me. Something stabbed into my shoulder, something pierced the side of my arm and something cut into the side of my cheek.

"Damn it," I hissed, wincing while trying to get to my feet.

When I was up, I saw that two copies of the ninja and no original around. 'That bastard, I'll kill him!' I did my hand signs and put my hand to my mouth.

"Fire Style; Fireball jutsu!"

I pulled what chakra I had left into my hands and blew the fire towards the copies. They didn't dodge, just stood there and took the jutsu. When a cloud of smoke appeared from them disappearing, I stopped the jutsu and panted. 'Damn it, he got away… I'm so useless!'

I turned and punched the closest tree trunk with resentment to myself. 'Idiot! You're so stupid! Damn it… Okay… Don't just sit here, go and find Kiba and he'll help you! I don't know about the other three, but Kiba will definitely help!' I gathered my bearings and ran to the right, towards the village. I wasn't one to just give up. There was always an extra possibility to ever problem; always a way to get around every obstacle. I could feel myself becoming tired but pushed myself to my limits. 'I have to find them. I have to find Kiba and the others for their help… I may not want to ask for a guy's help, but I have to…' Bursting from the forest, I jumped onto the roof of a house and sat for a moment.

I activated my sight sharing with Virid to see where he was. He was watching Naruto, Kiba, Sasuke, and Shikamaru walk through the market of the village. 'That's not too far from here… I can probably make it in a few minutes…' Getting to my feet, I panted a few times before taking off on the rooftops. The Land of Waves wasn't like the Hidden Leaf Village. It was poorer than any place I had seen, but that was only because of the gangs of rogue ninja that hung around it.

"Just hang on Hinata," I whispered.

By what I saw, Sakura and Ino didn't make it back to the group, which meant that they would have to be saved as well. 'I'm sure that some people would be happy with two less Sasuke fan girls around…' The thought was intriguing, but couldn't be followed.

"Hey Shikamaru, what do you think about this?" Naruto's voice was heard not too far away.

"Why should I care?" the lazy boy asked with annoyance.

I found them and whistled to call Virid back to me. He made his hawk cry before the summon had ended. The cry drew everyone's attention to the rooftops, so I jumped down and went over to them.

"Why the hell are you here?" Naruto growled at me.

I gave him a cold glare before reaching to my shoulder blade to pull out the senbon and pulled the one out of my arm as well. The blood on my cheek was nearly dry as I looked at them, my eyes normal since the darker clouds had disappeared.

Kiba and Shikamaru were the only ones with either surprised or worries eyes.

"Where are the others?" Sasuke asked me emotionlessly.

"I'm not supposed to be here," I said quietly, looking away from their gazes.

Kiba stepped forward, since he was the closest to me.

"What do you mean?" he asked me.

"I'm not allowed to be in the Land of Waves. I'm not supposed to be here. This place is the reason I even came to the Hidden Leaf Village!" I tried to explain, the words coming out with non understanding sentences.

"Suzu you're not making any sense," Shikamaru groaned.

'Damn it, just tell them!' I clenched the senbon tightly in my hands.

"I… I killed a high ranking sensei here… I lived here and he tried to kill me so I killed him. I'm being hunted by a shinobi that came to the Hidden Leaf Village to attack me… I was late for the academy because I got in that fight and he said that if I ever came to the Land of Waves again, he would kill me," I explained with a hateful growl.

What happened next wasn't what I was expecting at all.
