Not so Weak Anymore
Chapter Twenty
Raikage!
-
"So Shikamaru is troublesome. He's one of the laziest guys out there. Then there is Neji, who…"
currently walking to the hidden village of cloud in lightning country, Ino began explaining to Ami about everyone in Konoha. They had been traveling by boat for the past 3 days, and were now in lightning country heading for cloud.
The boat trip wasn't the greatest. Ami and Hinata got sea sick and Ino complained about getting wet too much. After this however, they would have to go by boat again get onto the main land to go to Suna. Sakura was actually pumped about going to Suna. Gaara was a good guy, so he would understand. Plus, she hadn't seen the sand siblings in awhile. It would be fun to reunite with them again.
"Let's stop for the night." Sakura said stopping. Everyone plopped down, tired.
They all started unpacking their belongings and sleeping bags. Tenten started a fire, Ino got water, Sakura and Ami set up camp and Hinata started cooking. It had become the main routine as of late.
As the crew was eating, Sakura saw something floating above them in the sky.
It was an eagle from Yugi.
"Guys…" Sakura said pointing up. They all looked up at the bird. Sakura stood up and put her arm out for the bird to land on. Once the bird landed, Sakura took the scroll off its leg and unraveled it. The bird then landed on the ground and patiently waited for further instructions.
All four girls looked at her waiting to know what was in it.
She read aloud,
Girls,
We have gotten a confirmed date for the war. Enclosed within this scroll are the set time, date and formations of attacking Konoha. I hope everything went well with the Mizukage.
Yugi
Sakura scoffed, "Oh he would know how things went in Mist."
Tenten, Ino and Hinata chuckled, while Ami smiled. Looking at Ami, Sakura noticed she seemed kind of distant and always keeping everything to herself. They had been traveling for three days, and she was pretty silent.
There were some things about her, Sakura wanted to know.
-
It was now three in the morning, and Sakura felt herself being woken up.
"Hey, wake up. Your on watch duty now."
Sakura looked up and saw Ami. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Sakura slowly sat up. It was still dark and cold out. She got out of her sleeping bag lazily and put on a jacket. The camp site had a fire in the middle. Everyone was spread out around the fire in their sleeping bags. There was a jug full of water if anyone needed it, and extra firewood.
Ami went and got a drink. Sakura went and sat on a log around the fire and put her arms out to keep warm. She watched Ami inventively, ready to speak.
Ami finished her drink. She was heading to her sleeping bag.
"Wait!"
Ami turned to Sakura, who signaled for her to sit, "Sit, I need to talk to you for a second."
Ami was a bit unsure at the moment, but did as she was commanded. She sat on the opposite side of the fire from Sakura.
Sakura spoke, "From what I've heard from Akito, you left the village of light. Why? Akito was pretty hurt by the whole situation." Sakura said eyeing Ami. Ami's expression saddened at the question.
I-I-I-I…" Ami didn't know what to say.
"You can trust me." Sakura said with a smile. Ami gazed at the fire.
"I don't really know why. One day my mother told me to pack my things. She said we were going on vacation, but we never went back to the village. I asked her why we never returned, but she said she wanted to keep me safe. She never told me from what, but whenever I brought up the topic of going back home, she shot me down. She died about a year ago. I was going to go back to the village once she died, but I stayed in Mist. They treated me so well and trained me, so I couldn't leave. It just didn't feel fair."
Sakura understood the situation. She was curious to know why her mom made her leave, but Ami didn't know, and her mom was dead, so there was no real way of finding out. Sakura smirked with the next question that popped in her head.
"Do you still like Akito?"
Ami jolted up at that. She blushed crimson red, "Well we…uhm…"
Sakura chuckled, "He misses you a lot. But enough talk, you can go to sleep now."
Nodding, Ami got up and walked to her sleeping bag, "Goodnight… or morning?" she said questioning. Sakura let out a low laugh, "Ha, sleep tight!"
Now Sakura was by herself awake. It was quiet. Looking around, everyone was sleeping silently. The sun would be rising soon. She then noticed the eagle was still around. She went into her pack and pulled out a blank scroll.
She would let Yugi know how it went, even though he should know anyway, but she didn't know how she would tell him about Ami.
She didn't want Akito to know right away, it would be a surprise. Oh, some devilish ideas ran through her head of how to reunite the two.

"Yes! finally made it!"
Entering the main gates of the hidden village of cloud, the town was busy. People bustling around from here to there.
Heading to the Raikage's office, questions ran through Ino's head.
"I wonder what the Raikage is like…"
"I hear that he was recently named Raikage." Ami said putting a finger on her chin. She then grinned, "I also hear he's really handsome too."
Ino gave an excited look, "For real? Well, if he's young and available, I call first dibs!"
"Ino!"
"I'm kidding!" she said with a joking look on her face. The girls laughed and continued on their way.
Along the way, they admired the architecture of the village. It looked so beautiful! Cobble stone streets and old buildings consumed the village.
It was beautiful.
The girls came to a halt when they came across a big building and a thunder bolt statue in the middle.
"So this is his office?" Sakura asked. Ami nodded, "Yeah, I was here once for a mission, but never actually met with the Raikage. I met some of his…shinobi."
"really? Cool, well lets go!"
Heading inside, the girls went to the lady at the front desk, asking where the Raikage is. She directed them out to the training grounds.
Getting out to the training ground, everyone looked around/
"Is this it?" Ino asked unsure.
There were boulders everywhere and patches of water everywhere. The ground was pretty much muddy and a few bare trees lingered around. It looked deserted.
"I g-guess so, b-but where's the Raikage?" Hinata asked. All five girls looked around.
BOOM!
A few boulders blew up, and two male shinobi were fighting. The girls blinked. The two guys looked about there age, maybe even a year older emerged from the rubble. They looked like twins, both having the same blonde hair and amber eyes. They only had a pair of shorts on. They had no shirt on. One boy had his arm wrapped up with bandages on his left arm, while the other boy had bandages going up his right arm. The two were doing hand to hand combat.
"TAKE THIS BROTHER!" the boy with bandages on his right arm said punching his brother. His brother ducked and tried kneeing him in the stomach. He jumped away and right in front of the girls. Noticing another presence, he turned around.
"Well hello ladies. Come to watch me and my–Ami?"
"Uh, hey Aoi…"
"Hiroshi! Come brother! Ami is here and brought friends!"
Ami's eye began twitching. All four girls loomed in on her.
"You know these guys?" Tenten asked. Ami twitched, "Yeah…they were the shinobi I met during that mission."
"Wow for real? They look cute!"
"Hah, that's what you say now until you see their personality Ino."
"Ami!"
Ami turned around, and there was the other twin, Hiroshi. She gave a fake smile and waved, "ha, hey there Hiroshi!"
"What brings you back to cloud?" Aoi asked, giving a thumbs up with his teeth sparkling. That pose looked oddly familiar…
"We're l-looking for t-the Raikage." Hinata spoke up. Aoi came up and grabbed Hinata's hand.
"Be mine."
Hinata blushed at the request. Ino came up and pulled her friend back, "sorry, but I don't think her boyfriend agrees with your wishes."
The boy sat up, "what business do you have with the Raikage?"
Sakura glared, "None of your business, can we please see him?"
The other brother came up to the group, "Hmm, how about we forget about him and go get some dinner?" He said seductively.
Ino's eye twitched, "Buddy, we don't have any business with you right now! Now where is the Raikage!?"
Angered with rejection, the two boys were going to retort back, but were cut off.
"That's enough."
A voice called from behind the boys. The girls looked up at the new figure.
It was the Raikage.
"Raikage-sama!" both boys said getting down on one knee showing respect. The kage passed the two boys and walked up to the girls.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Taking off his hat, all of the girls had hearts in their eyes. The Raikage was absolutely gorgeous! He looked to be in his early 20's. He has short brown hair and blue eyes. He looked well built.
"Wow…" Ino said with hearts in her eyes. He grinned at the girls uneasily… great…
Sakura and Ino hadn't been this way since they both were madly infatuated with Sasuke.
The fangirl side was slowly returning.
Sakura snapped out of her fantasy and remembered the mission. She took a strong step forward, making the kage focused on her.
"Is there something I can help you with?"
Sakura nodded, "Yes sir, but this information is highly confidential, so I must have your word that you will keep it secret."
He nodded, "You have my word."
"Well have you heard of the Tenshi clan?" she asked.
He nodded, "briefly, yes."
Sakura nodded, "Okay well…"
Sakura took off her wig. And let her pink hair flow, "I am Haruno Sakura, I was the Hokage's apprentice. This is Yamanaka Ino, Hyuuga Hinata, Tenten and Ami."
The Kage raised an eyebrow, "weren't you four pronounced dead 5 months ago?"
Sakura nodded, "You see sir, we faked our deaths for a good reason. The five of us are part of the Tenshi clan, which is said to be gone today. We are the reincarnations of Yumi Tenshi, Rika Tenshi, Mai Tenshi, Sasha Tenshi and Sakura Tenshi. Kenji is having a hidden alliance with sound. They plan on attacking Konoha and then attacking all other countries. We five girls are creating an underground alliance, as directed by Yugi. We are rounding up all the great countries together so we can take down sound once and for all. Now do you except?"
He gazed at the girls, "How can you prove that you are indeed Tenshis?"
Sakura shrugged, "How do you want us to prove it?"
"Hm, how about a quick spar? My two brothers, Aoi and Hiroshi against two of you kunoichi?"
Their eyes widened, "Those two are your brothers?!" Tenten said pointing to the two blondes. The Raikage nodded.
"Hard to believe I know." He whispered to the girls. They all chuckled and nodded.
He smiled, "Okay, which two will go against my two brothers?"
The girls looked at each other. Ino grinned and grabbed Hinata's arm and pulled her out to the battle field.
"WE WILL!" she said enthusiastically.
"Ino…I don't know about this…" Hinata said unsure. Ino shook her head.
"Come on Hinata! We can do this! It's our turn to prove our strengths! Besides, our elements together are really strong! So let's do this!" Ino said getting into a fighter stance. Hinata nodded and followed Ino's example. The twins smirked and got into a fighter stance.
"You may begin." The Raikage said.
"We'll go easy on you so you don-AHH!" Aoi said as he was palmed in the gut. He was sent flying, courtesy of Hinata. Her Byakugan was activated. Aoi landed on the ground with a thud.
Ino ran to Hiroshi and tried to punch. He was caught a bit off guard due to her speed, but quickly recovered by dodging it barely. Ino noticed this and quickly attacked again, kicking him in the stomach. He went flying into the water. Hinata jumped to Ino's side. the two nodded.
"Raiton: Gian! Lightning Release: False Darkness."
Two lightning bolt spears formed in Ino's hands. Ino threw them at Hiroshi as he emerged from the waters. He was instantly electrified.
Then out of no where, Hinata was hit in the back by Aoi.
POOF!
It was a shadow clone. He looked around, looking left, right, up and down. He had no idea where she was.
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu! Water Release: Water Dragon Blast" Hinata called emerging from the water with two spinning water dragons. Aoi was terrified. Hiroshi came behind him and Ino stood near Hinata.
"NOW HINATA!"
Hinata commanded the two water dragons to hit both Aoi and Hiroshi. The two quivered in fright.
"AHH" They both screamed as the water serpents hit them directly. They were blown away a few feet back by the power of the hit. They were covered head to toe in water. Ino performed a bunch of hand signs.
"Raiton: Lightning strike!" Clouds started to form ahead. Everyone could tell what was happening next. Ino's hand rose to the skies. Thunder cracked and lightning flickered. She then waved her hand down, and lightning bolts hit spots close to the two twins. They ran in fear.
"PLEASE STOP WE GIVE! WE GIVE!" they yelled running away from the extremely dangerous lightning bolt. Ino stopped her attacks, and cast the clouds away. The sun shown down at the watery battle field.
"GREAT JOB GIRLS! You didn't even have to go all out!" Tenten said proudly high fiveing Ino. The Raikage came up behind the girls and put one hand on Ino's shoulder, and his other on Hinata's shoulder. The two instantly blushed.
"Great job, how about we go to dinner and discuss the matter better?" he said with a sexy grin. The girls automatically melted.
"Y-Yeah… w-we'd lik-e t-that." Hinata said stuttering.
Aoi and Hiroshi came up and took both Ino and Hinata's hands in theirs.
"How about you forget about big brother and come with us?" Aoi said winking at Ino.
Ami came up and grabbed the two by the ear, pulling them away angry, "ugh, both of you are still the biggest flirts you were last time!"
Everyone just laughed, as the two boys cried out in agony.
-
"So why does baa-chan need us?" Naruto asked as the gang was heading to the Hokage's office. Shikamaru narrowed his eyes.
"For the last time Naruto, I don't know. She just called us. Now will you shut up?" he said angrily. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay! Geez…" Neji rolled his eyes and Sasuke said nothing.
The group made it to the office and walked up the many flights stairs. They reached the doors to Tsunade's office. Naruto knocked.
"Come in." she commanded. The four shinobi walked in and stood in a straight line facing the Hokage and her desk. She rested her chin in her hands as her elbows were resting on the desk.
"I have a new mission for you four. It's an A-rank mission. And will take three months. You will investigate a crime that happened in Earth country. A man named Jin was murdered. You must find out who killed this man. All the info you need will be in Earth country. You leave now."
The four boys nodded and poofed out of the office and back to their houses to pack. Once they finished, they met at the gates and left right away.
Flying in the sky, was an eagle with a letter. The bird wandered in the skies confused. It did not see the people whom it was suppose to deliver the message too. The birds shriek echoed through the skies, but it was not heard.
The bird gave up and headed back to its original master.

A week later…
"T-Thank you R-Raikage-sama for the h-hospitality." Hinata said bowing. The girls followed her example and blushing slightly.
"No problem girls. I hope to hear from you girls soon about the details of this epidemic." He said waving as they departed. They took about three steps out the gates when Aoi and Hiroshi showed up with flowers in their hands. Sakura and Tenten sweat dropped. Thinking about it, the two came to the same conclusion,
They were like Rock Lee.
The two boys handed the bouquet of flowers in their hands to Ino and Hinata.
"We can't wait to see you two again. If your boyfriends are total jerks, we will be here to dry your tears." Aoi said sweetly.
"Uhh…" Ino said excepting the flowers. She looked at Aoi, "Thanks I guess…"
She leaned to make a leave. Hinata accepted the flowers and bid a thank you and followed after Ino. They all left and waved goodbye. (Like in those Pokémon scenes at the end! LOL xD )
"So where to next?" Tenten asked. Sakura took out a map and put a checkmark next to Lightning country. The group needed to get onto another boat that would take them to the main land.
"Off to see Gaara, the Kazekage."
