Well this was originally going to be all one chapter, with the previous chapter...but it was getting too long so I decided to cut it into two parts, plus it's much easier to understand this way. Enjoy (:

Chapter 5: "The Reconnaissance part 2"

"Everyone, I have something I must do, it is now study period from now until class ends in an hour, you four that walked in late, come with me". He grabbed his stuff and walked to the door holding it open for the four kids to exit. A thud echoed the room, no one spoke, no one moved. Konohamaru stood up, his chair making a loud screeching sound that woke everyone up from their own thoughts. "Moegi, Udon, let's go, we have to tell Naruto nii-chan what happened". The two nodded and ran out the classroom.

"Iruka-sensei, where are we going?" Kenta asked to break the silence between them even though all four were wondering the same thing.

"We are going to the Hokage, we have to tell Tsunade-sama what happened" Iruka said walking briskly, wondering why hadn't anyone been questioned at the hospital or an alert been announced. Stuff like this wasn't taken lightly. Something strange was going on.

Stepping inside the Hokage tower the group made their way upstairs and Iruka spotted a familiar face. His pace increased as the woman turned a corner.

"W-wait- Shizune-san!"

The woman with short dark hair turned around with the familiar little pearl wearing pig in her arms. She noticed Iruka and smiled.

"Oh, Iruka-san, what brings you here?"

"Shizune-san, please, we have to see Tsunade-sama right away, it's urgent" Iruka saw the woman's eyes widen a bit and nodded a bit hesitantly, leading the group to the Hokage's office.

Tsunade looked at the pile of paperwork covering the majority of her desk and sighed. Being Hokage was not easy. She opened the hidden drawer in her desk and grinned as she spotted the lottery cards. The blonde woman looked at the 300 pages of paperwork Shizune had left for her to complete by this afternoon and then turned to face her completed work that consisted of one page. She sighed and smirked, 'well nothing wrong with taking a break'she thought and pulled out the lottery cards.

Tsunade fumbled and audibly gasped as the door was thrown open.

"SHIZUNE WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT KNOCKING?!" Tsunade shouted, kicking the cards under her desk to hide them from the dark haired woman's view.

"Sorry about the intrusion Tsunade-sama, but Iruka has something to tell you, and he said it was urgent"

Tsunade looked at her and frowned, 'why can't there ever be any peace in Konoha'…

"Let him in" Shizune stepped aside letting the five people enter the office, she closed the door and walked around them and stood by the desk deciding to ignore the deep scowl trying to erupt as she caught sight of the cards under the desk and Tsunade's "completed work" pile…

"What's the meaning of this visit Iruka?"

Iruka stiffened at the woman's stern look and coughed.

"Erm-Tsunade-sama, there seems to be something strange going on, yesterday one of my students was attacked and is currently in the hospital, I'm not sure of the details but these kids here-" Iruka motioned to the children standing behind him "were there when the incident took place, I have an uneasy feeling about all this, and what unnerves me the most is that the boy was injured just a couple of miles away from the academy, meaning there is danger just outside our gates, we can't allow any children, merchants or untrained people to step outside the village".

Tsunade quirked an eyebrow and nodded, "Iruka, do you have any specific details to provide?"

Iruka nodded and motioned towards the kids, "these children were present when this person attacked, maybe we could deduce who it was from what they saw".

Tsunade looked at the children and crossed her arms, "I agree, one of you kids step forth and tell me everything you know"

Mayomi stepped forward and spoke void of any emotion. "Hokage-sama, the girl that attacked Katsuro-kun was not human".

All the adults in the room looked at her with questioning gazes.

Iruka turned around to face the young girl, "do you mean she was a shinobi Mayomi-san?"

"No! I'm not an idiot Iruka-sensei, and shinobi are human too"

Iruka blushed and looked out the window. The girl frowned at her sensei and continued. "The girl we all saw was not from around here, or anywhere close to here, she was not human"

"What do you mean by that girl?" the Hokage demanded.

"Well it was all a blur, but I think she had black long hair, and she wore all black, h-her eyes", the girl paused as a shiver went down her spine "the one thing that I'll never be able to forget were her eyes…..s-she had r-red eyes, eyes I've never seen before"

Tsunade obviously ignoring most of what Mayomi was saying had her mind made up "Maybe it was a Kekkei Genkai, Shizune make a report on all known Kekkei Genkai with the description that matches -"

"You're not even listening to me! It wasn't anyone in Konoha, s-she wasn't human! She was a demon" Mayomi stated, interrupting the Hokage's orders. "You're not going to find anything if that's what you're basing your report on, s-she wasn't human! She was a demon-"the girl whispered the last part.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and looked to Iruka who was giving Mayomi a concerned look. Whatever she went through had messed with her reasoning, most likely all these kids.

"Iruka, I've heard enough, I will send out a group to investigate the incident, whoever this girl is, she shouldn't be that hard to find with the description Mayomi gave us, I will also form an investigative group to see if we can track where this girl is from, she's definitely not from Konoha".

"I just don't understand why anyone would attack a child, what could that enemy shinobi want with aggravating us? It makes no sense, if she wanted to infiltrate the village itself why draw attention to herself by attacking one of our own just outside the village?" Iruka questioned out loud.

"Shizune have these kids record everything they saw and experienced yesterday" she moved her gaze to the four kids, "don't leave out any detail, it could be very important in tracking her down".

They all nodded and Tsunade continued.

"Also Shizune, get me a list of all the available jounin and chuunin, we're going to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible"

Yep, some lazy chuunin and jounin are going to get a new mission soon so no more slacking off. Also Sunnora and Hidan are appearing in the next chapter "The First Impression" so we're out of the village for the next one. Should be posted either in 2 days or next week :D
