Maid of the Uchiha

Chapter 4

"So your going?" Mikoto asked as she stared at the back of Nagi who was getting dressed in her normal but slightly strange combat outfit that she had. It wasn't anything like a ninja's or what most would expect someone to wear out into combat but Nagi made it work.

Nagi is wearing a sleeveless black top long jacket with a white border/design to it that was rather revealing and was open mostly. It revealed a good measure of her cleavage as well as her stomach, connected over her chests as well as at her bust leaving a small section over, reaching all the way down to her mid shin. It was cut into multiple pieces from waist level making petal like designs. She is wearing a black skirt with a black belt. She has black boots with metal pieces over them as they reached up to almost her knee's as she stood up from putting them on. (Look up Sieglinde from the manga series Nanoha ViVid)

"Yes. Wakasama is in trouble and while I don't want to make it seem like I coddle him, he is not ready to face someone on Zabuza's level." Nagi stated with a neutral tone as she grabbed some black fingerless gloves with metal on the back of the hand near the knuckles and reached up to above her elbow.

"Your not ready to face someone on Zabuza's level despite what your record says." Mikoto countered with worry in her voice at the prospect of her fighting Zabuza. "Every time you went to help Itachi on his missions, you came back badly injured. I don't want to see you hurt badly again."

"I'll be fine Mikoto-sama." Nagi stated walking towards her as her blonde hair slowly seemed to turn black. Mikoto seemed to frown at this even more as whatever was going on with the hair seemed to make her even more annoyed and worried. "I'll be back before you know it with good news, I promise."

To Mikoto's surprise, Nagi hugged her. Now normally this wouldn't cause a surprise but Nagi was not one to make physical contact with others on her own. It was always the other person who started the contact and it gave Nagi the permission to reciprocate and touch them. She usually only was able to touch Itachi without permission but never touched others without their expressed permission.

"Come back safely." Mikoto muttered to her as all her fight on the matter disappeared and Nagi just nodded to this before walking out of the door. Little did Mikoto know is that Nagi leaned up against the door eyes widened as she couldn't believe she hugged her as well as trying to calm herself down at the thought that she did something wrong.

Elsewhere

Sasuke was utterly pissed. Now your probably asking why he was pissed? Well, it was because Kakashi thought that he couldn't handle what was coming next. That the team couldn't handle their next opponent. Was he not strong enough, him an Uchiha and a heir to the clan?

It was a preposterous thought to even think about. It grated his nerves and hurt his pride. He was suppose to be the next in line to his great clan after Itachi. He was suppose to be strong enough to stand by Itachi's side to rule over the clan and it seemed like he had nothing to show about it.

He was not the weak little boy he was before and refused to live in Itachi's shadow forever. He would show that he was someone that people could rely on, that he could protect what he loved and be someone everyone could follow. That he wasn't just Itachi's little brother and that he needed protection from others.

He needed strength. He refused to be weak. He could finish this mission himself. He wanted so badly to prove himself and become better. To get the recognition that he should rightfully deserve. Being a Genin was a pathetic waste of his time.

All they ever did was choirs. Do this, fix that, baby sit some kids that he didn't even care for. Where was he suppose to test his limits in that and exceed them. They didn't even get training from anyone. Kakashi certainly wasn't going to help them and all he had them do was teamwork exercises.

Even this mission was pathetic. Those two missing Nin's were nothing and were weak. Was that what he should expect from Ninja outside of Konoha? Weak Chunin's and Jonin's. People that didn't amount to anything and if that was the case, how was he suppose to get stronger?

Maybe he should take that deal? The person who brought it up said that he would get immensely stronger. That he could become stronger than Itachi. He didn't trust the person though but it seemed that he couldn't get his way with things the way they are.

Another thing that pissed him off is someone close to him and what happened before he left. She made it seem like she was worried about him. He had figured out that the only reason she looked out for him was because his brother told her to. She never cared about him nor did she look at him as anything but someone her master told her to take care off.

It pissed him off that she keeps going on and on about him being careful. It was getting to the point where it annoyed him. She should take a hint that he no longer thought of her as his Sister. She was just an item that Itachi had and ordered to watch over him. She was fooling herself and everyone with how she was acting. A fake.

Itachi was the person he was starting to hate the most out of his problems. The person he looked up to the most did nothing but treat him like a child. He was the big brother and he was the little brother. That was it. The big brother protecting the little brother. He didn't need protection. He didn't need him watching over him. It was so frustrating to know that his own brother didn't trust him.

"You seem a little angry Sasuke-kun. You were great back there." A voice came from his side and he turned to see Sakura. His teammate who was pretty much useless in his eyes as she had no outstanding traits other than Chakra control. She really did have nothing going for her.

"Shut up Sakura. I want to be left alone." Sasuke growled out as he was not in the mood. The first time he could fight another Ninja from another village was just disappointing and left a sour taste in his mouth. Sakura blinked at this and tilted her head as she had no clue what was going on or why he just flipped out on her.

He had heard the whispers in the village when people thought he wasn't around or could hear him. To a lot of people, he was considered a disappointment. Someone that didn't live up to expectations that followed Itachi. His father always seemed to compare him to Itachi despite him saying to not follow Itachi.

He was too worried about the clan and fixing the damage done to that women to care about him. He doesn't even remember the last time that his father actually sat down to have a long conversation with him. The last time they hung out for an extended period of time was when he showed Fugaku the fireball Jutsu. The only person Sasuke remembered being around the most was Nagi and he found out all of that was a giant lie. He should of realized sooner with how she acted around people.

Flashback

A younger Nagi around the age of ten sat on the floor folding clothes…. Or attempting to at least. Her expression was blank with no emotion. She was even Chibi-fied with a frown and unmoving circle blue eyes. She raised a messy looking folded shirt to Mikoto who sat in front of her in a universal sign for she's done.

Sasuke watched from the couch reading a book and chuckled at this while Mikoto just sweat dropped. They were trying to teach her something knew and it was like teaching a break wall sometimes. Mikoto just took the shirt and reopened it.

Nagi just stood there unmoving and unspeaking as she waited for the right way to do it. She didn't even seem upset that she did it wrong. She was learning and it was expected that she wouldn't do well. She was told this after all so it was fine unless they lectured her or yelled at her for it. That's why she had supervision by someone else till she was good at it.

"Close Nagi." Mikoto trailed at this while Sasuke snorted a laugh as that was no where near as close. Mikoto glared lightly at him and he turned his attention back to his book. "Let me show you what you have to do again." She finished before folding it in front of her perfectly. "Now try again Nagi-chan."

Nagi nodded to herself as she grabbed another shirt from the finished laundry basket and tried to do it how Mikoto just showed her. She made some improvements but not that much considering. Mikoto sighed before showing her how to do it again.

Nagi just did it again after again to see if she would get it and at the last piece of laundry, Nagi had finally got it right. Mikoto smiled at this and started clapping in congratulations. "Good job Nagi-chan, your really are a fast learner and you should be proud." Mikoto stated trying to get a response from the girl to which she got a tilt of her head in confusion by this statement.

"Ne, ne Kaa-san. Nee-chan is finally done so can she play with me." Sasuke said finally waiting long enough to ask. Mikoto blinked at this and sighed before turning to her son. Sasuke was expecting a good answer as he seemed to be rather bored with just reading.

"I guess she could. I have to get started on breakfast. Don't play for too long though." Mikoto stated which got a response from Nagi as she seemed to blink at this.

"I will provide breakfast. You do not need to cook Master." Nagi said with a neutral tone to which Sasuke pouted as it seemed to him at the time that she didn't want to play games and things with him. Mikoto blinked at this before waving it off.

"Its fine. I like cooking and Sasuke seems bored. Go have some fun with him." Mikoto said in return which made Nagi tilt her head again as if she was going through things in her head. While Sasuke didn't know what she was doing, Mikoto did. Nagi is processing and going through other orders she has received to see if they went against any other as well as who they came from in terms of hierarchy.

"As you wish Master." Nagi responded in her neutral tone like always before getting up and turning to Sasuke. "After you Wakasama." She said with closed eyes and a slight bow to her stance. Sasuke whooped and ran towards the back door with Nagi following closely behind him at a more leisurely pace.

Mikoto chuckled at this before going into the kitchen. Not even five minutes into starting to cook, Sasuke came running back in dragging Nagi who still had on the same expression. Sasuke looked utterly worried by what happened as well as panicked.

"Kaa-san…. Nee-chan…. Nee-chan." Sasuke started to get out to which his mother blinked in confusion as Nagi seemed alright at first glance. She looked the small blonde over and everything seemed alright until drops of blood came from her hand.

Mikoto looked and noticed that Nagi's hand was burnt and cut all over. It looked like she had grabbed a low powered explosive tag and it went off in her hand. Mikoto instantly grabbed the first aid kit and went over to her. "Nagi-chan, are you ok?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Nagi responded more confused then anything. She didn't even care in the slightest that she was injured and both of them wondered where she got that pain tolerance from.

"What happened?" She asked back to them but Sasuke was to choked up as she started to wrap Nagi's hand and apply ointment.

"Wakasama was practicing with some Kunai with practice tags on them. One of the strings snapped upon his throw. It was about to hurt him so I grabbed it to protect him. It will heal fast anyways so I do not mind." Nagi stated with perfect tone and the only thing that showed that she could still feel pain was the small twitch as she applied the bandages and ointment.

Mikoto sighed as she wrapped up Nagi's hand. Even if Nagi was immensely responsible, she did get hurt like this on occasion. Even if she didn't mind, it happened enough. Five minutes out of her sight and something like this happened. She couldn't leave them alone could she?

"She'll be fine Sasuke. It will just hurt her moving it but it will heal. Knowing her, by the end off the day. Always " Mikoto said in a reassuring tone to which Sasuke nodded. He turned to Nagi and bowed his head.

"Gomen, Nee-chan." He said in a low tone as he looked away from her.

"It is fine Wakasama. My Masters and Goshujin-sama would be saddened if anything happens to you. As long as you are fine, nothing else matters to me." Nagi stated and Sasuke looked up to her with a shocked look. He had interpreted that as she cared about him and worried about him rather than trying to appease her orders and masters.

"Nee-chan, thank you." Sasuke muttered out as he held onto her maid outfit.

"You welcome, Wakasama." She responded accordingly back to him.

Flashback over

Suddenly, he was pushed to the ground as something flew over his head. The sound of something heavy went crashing into a tree soon followed. Sasuke couldn't make it out as he had someone rather heavy on him and he wasn't about to use his strength to get them off him.

"Get…off." Sasuke growled out as the person still laid over him. He wondered why the hell the person was still on him. He wasn't dead if the heart beat was anything. What was the person doing and who the hell was on top of him? he was about to kick the person off of him when the person got up.

"Sorry Sasuke." The person said and he knew it was Kakashi. The tone was serious and he wondered what was going on. He had been so in thought that he wasn't paying that much attention to what was going on. "Now, actually pay attention to what you are doing because we have company."

So we were under attack but the question was by who? If he had to take a guess that it was a Jonin and a mist-nin judging by the last people they faced. He really wondered who they were going to face as there weren't that many Mist-Nin that he could think about.

Sasuke looked up as his heightened hearing picked up someone almost silently landing on the metal sword. He blinked before smirking. Could this day really get any better? Finally a real challenge. The person on it was strong, that much he could tell. His mere presence just gave off strength. A worthy challenge.

The other two on the team wouldn't be much help and they would only get in his way more than anything else. This man was his to fight and he wasn't about to let anyone else on his team have. He went to move forward but was stopped by Kakashi.

He growled as Kakashi ordered them to get in a defensive pattern around Tazuna. He did not like this as this man would bring out his full potential and allow him to see the height of his skill as of right now. He needed to know if he was strong or not.

Sasuke watched as Zabuza talked about how he wanted to kill the old man as well as beat the Sharingan, which just made him tense at the word. Seriously, how did Kakashi have the Sharingan or did he somehow know about who Sasuke was?

Suddenly, mist clouded his vision and he groaned loudly. Seriously, it was getting worse now because he wasn't that good at tracking. Had Kakashi not stopped him, he could be figuring out his limit. Now it would just be harder to find him and show him his power.

Sasuke stopped whatever thought of fighting he had as something rooted him to his spot. A feeling in his gut made him want to turn around and run far. He had felt something like this before and even then he was scared for his life but it was nothing like this. No where even close to this.

What was Kakashi doing? How long had it been already? Why was he cowering in fear from killing intent? Wasn't he trying to prove himself if he was acting like a child and wanting to run away? How could he become stronger if he was scared of the first serious fight he could be apart of?

"Well it seems one of you is going to die as a pathetic waste of space already." Sasuke heard from in front of him and looked up to see the enemy Jonin in front of him. He heard yells from Kakashi which seemed muffled but he wasn't paying attention.

'Move…. Move…. MOVE BODY.' Sasuke screamed out in his head but it was no use in front of the first massive amount of killing intent he had ever felt. It was so dark and menacing that he was rooted. He watched as the mist Jonin lifted his sword over his head and he closed his eyes, bracing himself for his impending death.

It never came and the feeling of killing intent disappeared. He could move again. Sasuke opened his eyes and his eyes instantly came into contact with someone's back. Long black hair filtered into view. A black color he had seen once before and that were in two pigtails.

He instantly could tell who this person was. "Nee….san…." Sasuke muttered out as he couldn't believe it as relief settled into his body. He should feel angry that she was babysitting him again but he just couldn't be made. He was safe.

Nagi was here holding the massive sword back with one hand, gripping the blade tightly. The mist nin was shocked that the power behind his blow was held back. Nagi clenched her hand, cracking the sword almost instantly. She looked over her shoulder to Sasuke and smiled kindly and reassuringly.

"I'm glad your safe Wakasama. I will end this shortly." Naruto said with a chipper tone that just made Sasuke relax visibly despite the situation. She turned towards the nin and glared at him as he let go of the sword, jumping away. She crushed the sword in her hand and it became water. A white aura of chakra appeared around her as a pressure crashed down onto the field. "I'm going to break you for trying to kill Wakasama, Zabuza."

Everyone shivered at how she had said that sentence while Zabuza glared at her. "The Dog of the Uchiha." Was all Zabuza said as he released his Chakra again for the second time in the last half hour. He wasn't about to let this bitch be the end of him. If he could beat Kakashi, she would be easy. Problem is, how was he going to hold Kakashi and fight her because a Bunshin will not do?
