Chapter 05 First Strike

Naruto POV

I woke up to find the pinkette snoring on the chair next to my bed. A little bit of drool escape her luscious lips. She sat there with her head tilted to the side in a cute way. I found her irresistible but yet I found these strange feelings well strange. I barely know the girl aside from the dream but I feel connected to her in way.

I reluctantly turn gaze from the girl to the window that stood between me and the open world. Getting off the bed, I placed a foot on the marble floor. Pain surge throughout my body as my foot came in contact with the cold stone. Ignoring the initial surge, I place the other foot down. Same end result. I concluded it might have been due to my inactive days. Damn, I am going to have to reformat my training schedule again to make up for the lost time in this miserable white hellhole.

I gave myself a few minutes to adjust to the pain. I glance over my shoulder to see if the young woman was still asleep. I kept on walking once it was confirm that she was. Once I got to the window, I lay against the wall next to it to catch my breath. I kept wincing in pain throughout the whole walk. Half a minute later, I was standing directly in front of the window. I raise my right hand and pulled a few of the blinds apart. Sunlight penetrated my vision, temporarily rendering me blind. The colored dots that appear in my peripheral distorted any objects outside. My eyes finally adjusted to the light and set its sight upon the outside world for the first time in days. The world was different from my world. While my former home was more colonial than technological, this city seems straight out of a science fiction novel. Metal beasts roared down cement padded roads, businessmen or what seems like it kept talking to their palms (what strange people), and birds unlike any I have seen perched across multiple rooftops. Cries of babies mixed with those from the metal beasts as women and men strolled down the street with baby carriages. The noise penetrated my sensitive hearing full force. Anxiety crept in as I stared at this strange world. Even though I have been to this world before, it was during a time where men wore armor and carried a sword and shield. My breathing picked up rapidly. I felt as if my lungs were going to burst from the rapid breathing. Then it happen. I don't know where it came from or how it happened, but the stench of blood penetrated my nostrils. I could already feel myself losing control to HIM. HE is the side I had long sought to be rid off. A blood thirsty growl escapes my lips. My teeth began to lengthen as my canines turn sharper. I was loosing control fast.

"Hey." My transformation halted in mid point. I turn around to find her standing, the drool wiped off her angelic face. She had a worried expression written all over it. Her pink locks flowed perfectly behind her. I was beyond speechless. She was beautiful in my dream but here in front of me was no human but an angel. I must have been staring for a while because she seems to have gotten bit annoyed. I gave her the simplest reply I could muster.

"Hey." Yeah, real smooth Naruto. But hey it lightened up the mood.

"So what you doing?" She spoke all this while placing her hands behind her, and leaning a bit forward while balancing from one heel to the other. I must admit I found this action quite sexy. "I was looking out the window."

"Oh." She walks up and stands next to me as she too looks out. "It sure looks pleasant outside. It sure looks like a nice day to go out and play with friends." She turns to me with a smile grace on her face. "Hey, are you alright?" Her smile drops a bit a she stares intently into my eyes. For the first time, emerald green met oceanic blue, and it was a pleasant moment. But unfortunately for me, it was short lived.

"Um yeah. Why do you ask?"

"You seem to be spacing out a lot."

"Well I um... I was thinking about when I am getting out."

"Oh, well I could go get the doctor if you want. Maybe he will give you an estimate of when you will be release." She was about to leave but I quickly reach out in time to stop her.

"I like the gesture but no not yet. Will you please stay a bit longer?"

She blush a little when she gave me her reply. We stood next to each other as we stare into the outside world. We talked quite a bit, often times it was more on things we like and hobbies. I made sure to not reveal anything that might lead her to knowing my true origins. I felt a warm feeling next to her throughout the whole thing. Whatever the feeling was, I know I did not wanted this moment to end.

End POV

Demon World
Location: Akumagakure
Objective: Assassinate the Hokage

Team Six moved swiftly through the dense forest. Night has fallen long ago; its majestic twilight masked the team's features as night illuminated three miles away. They move in unison as they set their eyes on their target, Akumagakure. Their objective was to assassinate the village's leader, Madara Uchiha. However, this was no easy task as they would face a man who has stared into Death's eyes and laughed. He was a man often described as something more than a man but less than a god. They would face the man responsible for the genocide he committed at First Assault. A man that was right up their alley.

Team Six isn't your regular assassination team. No, it is the best of the best. They haven't lost a member throughout the team's 58 mission career. None of the other teams could say that. When their commander, the High Angel, offer them the job, they immediately accepted.

The team comprised of 24 members had three splinter groups: Sabotage, Infiltration, and Assault. Sabotage dealt with sabotaging the enemy's defenses, gathering intel, and other things. Infiltration dealt with infiltrating the enemy's compound to scour the place for Sabotage and Assault. It often included helping out POWs or prisoners of war escape. Assault has easily the best job: eliminate all, leave nothing behind.

Team Six was currently three miles away from the Demon village. Their plane would spring into action after a mile. Sabotage would lead the mission by taking out the enemy's defenses which were field shields that alerted the demon seal masters of everyone leaving and entering the village. With the mile intermission over, Sabotage sprung into action. The eight men group split into groups of two. Each sub group would cover a certain spot around the invisible barrier. They situated themselves like a compass. The team covered the northern, southern, eastern, and western most spots of the barrier. Hands weave through multiple signs as one member of each sub group kept a lookout while the other performs the seals. The seal being performed allow the Team safe passage through the barrier. It also made sure that the demon seal masters were not alerted by the intrusion. With Sabotage's work done, Infiltration set out to do their work.

Infiltration consisted of both men and women. Both gender had their own specific jobs. The women were taught in the art of seduction which was pretty helpful when gathering information. Men were also taught in the art of seduction but not the same as their female counterparts. Both however were trained in close quarter combat, espionage, deceit, immunity to alcohol and most poisons, among other things. Their current job involve the women using their seductive skills on drunk men as it was easier to gain information from a drunk male than one who wasn't drunk. The men would not only keep an eye on the women but also converse with the other patrons for information. They would try to gather any form of information on the Hokage. With this information, Assault would head to the Hokage's location and eliminate him once and for all.

Both genders changed their attire to that of civilian customs. It was simple garbs, cheaply made, so it didn't take a lot to fool anyone into believing they were civilians. With the go ahead from their captain, a burly man whose massive physique can be seen from a mile away, the team began their mission. It didn't take long for them to find the bars as it were the only establishments open late at this hour. Not to cause any suspicion, the group began entering as couples, individually, or as a group of friends celebrating a special occasion. When the group began entering, they were assaulted first by the alcohol's hard stench. The stench subsided, with the groups distancing themselves from one another. The women who weren't coupled up with some of their male teammates use their assets to flirtatiously string up a few of the drunken patrons. As for the single men, they spent most of their time drinking while keeping an open ear for any valuable information. They did their best to block all the conversations involving wives, kids, work, and the occasional banter. Nearly an hour passes before they finally struck gold. A middle age man stumbles in swearing a storm about Madara. One of the men signaled one of his female counterparts to weasel information out of the poor fellow. The woman, a beautiful azure haired, hazel eye angel, sauntered over to the angry man. She flirted with him to calm him down while slipping a pill into his drink when he wasn't looking. The pill was use to loosen the man's tongue. It was quite effective as the man soon began spilling out his life story. When it got to the matter with the Hokage, the woman listened closely. She was able to find out that he was an aide to the Hokage until today. She was able to learn about where he lives, what he likes to eat, how he likes his bed to be made, and who he has been conversing with lately. One name in particular brought up suspicions: Danzou. Danzou is the founder and leader of ROOT, an ANBU subgroup that operated under Danzou. He is also one of Lord Sarutobi's aides which meant either the information the guy gave was a false lead or the angels had a traitor in their mist. The man finally passed out leaving the agent to return back to her teammates. They left in a similar fashion to how they enter. They avoided anyone that weren't friendly to present the information to Assault quickly. They arrive at the meeting point around three in the morning. Their campsite was litter by the two remaining groups. The information was relayed quickly and the decision on how to handle the Danzou problem was taken care of. Team Sabotage dismissed one of their own and told him to relay the recent revelations back to Lord Sarutobi as quickly as possible.

Unbeknownst to them, the group was being spied on. Hiding in the forest nearby was what one may presume a child. This was no child but a Nene Demon, one whose physical features is that of a child often used to deceive their prey. The Hokage uses these demons sometimes when he feels someone has infiltrated his village. The Nene listened rather closely to the plans being lain out. Once it was sure it had sufficient information, it set out on its way towards the Hokage's home estate. It ran with such incredible speed for its body size. In less than ten minutes, the Nene stood outside of the estate. It knocks on the huge doorway only to be confronted by a massive demon. This demon was the Gate Keeper. Its body has many pores around its upper torso area. Many scars were spread across its body from past battles. Its grotesque body complimented well the massive cleaver on its back. The cleaver was heavily disfigured and covered in dry blood, a testament to all who have fallen at the demon's hands.

"Hokage, talk, important." One thing about Nenes were that they could barely keep a sentence straight. The Keeper moved aside, knowing that the demon before it was their Hokage's agent. The Nene move quickly through the estate, going up two flights of stairs, down two hallways, and finally up the last staircase until finally coming upon a door made from the finest trees in the demon realm. It was about to knock when a calm but powerful voice from inside the room beckon it to come in. Opening the door, the Nene met his lord. Standing next to an open window, with his back turn towards the door, was Madara. He was dressed in his regular clothing (current attire in manga), mask adorning his face. It has often been a subject of speculation as to why he wears a mask. Many guesses that he is disfigured, or in some cases (amongst the more idiotic demons), has beaver teeth. But the truth is the mask is merely a symbol of a creature that nearly destroyed the angelic order. Fascinated by its mighty power, Madara became obsess with reviving this ancient evil.

Without turning around, he questions the messenger. The messenger told his leader of his findings. Whether he was troubled by the information or not, Madara kept his calm composure. With a wave of his hand, the messenger was given his leave. Once again alone, the Lord of Demons stared out at his village. He did this for several minutes before he was interrupted by the arrival of his secret organization. An organization with a single purpose: to locate and capture the nine seals needed to release the ancient beast. Turning about, Madara came face to face with nine of the original members and its newest recruit. Their cloaks all garner the same red cloud. Their status and rank shown by the ring they all wore. Before him stood the demons' most fearsome group, the Akatsuki. A smile form under his mask; his cold, calculated eyes staring at his subordinates. The angels can celebrate with throwing the first strike but it won't matter in the end. For in the end, he will prevail.

Sakura+Roku:...

Distant Voice: I'll kill you Roku!

Distant Voice #2: Not if I kill him first!

Sakura: Um.. Roku?

Roku:...crap

Preview: Next time on A&D, with the Angels leading the first strike, it is now time for Madara to lead his own strike. And now information regarding Madara's plans are surfacing. Who are Akatsuki looking for? Who are the individuals containing the nine seals? Will the distant voices succeed in killing Roku? Stay tune for another exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!

Roku:... *glare*

Preview: I meant Angels & Demons!

P.S. It may seem like I have forgotten about the 4th chapter but don't worry the Darkness in him will actually play a pivotal role when it comes to his darker half. Oh and the seals are NOT with the bijuu hosts (there are none in the story for clarification) so that means Naruto is not a target as I am portraying Naruto and Kyuubi as one entity. Those nine people are...for me to know for now. :)
