Hello again! I have never updated this quickly before. I'd like you all to thank The Cutest Otaku for being the one reviewer and the person who inspired me to get this chapter out! I also had 18 views in the first TWO days! Thank those people as well. Well than, let us start the story!

Disclaimer: I do not claim to own Naruto, only my OCs.


I grinned at the only person sitting at the table in the room.

She wore a long white robe, and by white I mean pure white, and a Kage hat, which was also pure white, with the kanji for Teapot in a muted green.


Name: Teapot

Status: S-class missing-nin, co-founder of the Shorai, leader of the Shorai

Bloodline Limit: Possibly a bloodline that has to do with tea?

Personality: Straightforward, humorous, acts like a child

Notes: Teapot is the leader of the Shorai and scares all the other members. Not much is known about her, but the few sightings all report a young woman, of possibly 20-25 years of age, wearing a pure white robe and a pure white Kage hat with the kanji for Teapot. Seen with hands in sleeves or at side, one holding a teapot. Records of sightings go to the time before the villages. Possible immortality?

Village: Born before villages, as such has no village


"So, its that time, is it?" Internal asked with a grin.

Tea grinned as well before nodding.

We all remembered too late what happened when she nodded.

Six chairs came flying out of a storage cupboard next to the stairs. Each of us got knocked in the back of the legs and flew with the chairs toward the table.

My head smashed against the table as my chair came to an abrupt stop. I laid in a daze, listening to the argument going on around me.

"What in the name of Ra were you thinking?! You could've killed us!" Immortal yelled at the top of her lungs.

"It would take more than blunt force trauma to the head to kill us. Well, everyone besides Reap." Unknown was obviously amused at the fact that I was laying my head on the cool table.

"No, no. Reap doesn't feel pain, remember?" Great, now, because of Immortal, all of them were going to make fun of my ill-fated journey in the Land of Snow.

"If I remember correctly, she got frostbite so bad that whenever she feels pain, she remembers what it felt like to have said frostbite and the pain goes away." Even Tea was joining in.

"You all are mean." The table muffled my accusation.

"I'm sorry, what was that? I didn't quite hear you." Tea was enjoying this way too much, so, I licked the table.

"Really?! What the hell, spike face! You know I can feel what happens to the table, right? That was disgusting." One could hear Tea rubbing her arm furiously. The others snickered at her misfortune. "Oh, and Immortal, you are not supposed to say Ra. It is Kami."

I lifted my head of the table to watch one of Tea and Immortal's arguments.

"I can say whatever I want, Pot. Ra."

"Kami."

"Ra."

"Kami."

"Ra."

"KAMI."

"RA."

"Zeus!" They both stared at Scarecrow before she slunk down in her seat, "I thought we were calling out the names of gods." She smiled sheepishly.

"In that case, Bast, Egyptian god of cats." Unknown.

"Apollo, Greek god of the sun." Internal.

"Ares, Greek god of war." Puppet.

"Jupiter, Roman king of the gods and god of the sky." Me.

"NO MORE NAMING OF GODS, FOR KAMI'S SAKE!" Teapot screeched at the top of her lungs.

We all covered our ears, but that did little to block the noise.

We slowly removed our hands as she stood at the head of the table, huffing and puffing.

She took a deep breath before motioning to her chair, which had fallen over when she had stood up abruptly, to right itself. It became liquid before reforming into an upright chair.

She took a seat and looked at each of us expectantly, "Now that there are no more interruptions, shall we go back to the matter at hand."

"And what might be the matter at hand?" Puppet asked quietly.

"Thank you, Puppet. The matter at hand is that it is almost time. Naruto is going to take his third Genin test in a few weeks and I need to send you each on a mission to make sure that everything goes both to the plot and not to the plot."

"What do you mean by that, Teapot?" Unknown asked. I was also confused. What did she mean by both according to the plot and not according to the plot?

"What I mean is I am going to use tea clones to 'replace' certain shinobi, such as Haku, Zabuza, and others. Their roles are important, but I do not want any bloodshed in the coming days."

"What of people that are already dead or deserve to die, such as the Uchiha clan and Danzo?" Scarecrow asked.

"As you all know, it is impossible for us to die. Why is still beyond me. Shinigami is very mad about that. He has been denied our souls for so long, it is only a matter of time before he attacks us personally. Now, we all want to die eventually, but we cannot. I was thinking that in order to revive those that didn't deserve to die, we could strike a bargain, with our souls being the prize. As for those like Danzo, let them die."

"So, you want us to bargain our souls away? Anyone here have a problem with dying? No one? Cool. That's fine." I said perkily.

"Now, codenames. Unknown, choose a word."

"Fear."

"Alright! Noun or verb?"

"Verb."

"Okay, so either Osoreru, Ayabuma, or Kowa Ru?"

"Osoreru."

"Cool. Immortal, your turn. Choose a word."

"Wish."

"Noun or verb?"

"Noun."

"…I hate you. Negai, Kibo, Ganbo, Nozomi, Shomo, Shibo, Negaigoto, Omoi, or Ose?"

"Ose."

"Thank. You. Scarecrow, choose."

"Crazy."

"…Alright. Adjective, noun or adverb?"

"Noun!"

"Kichigai, Soutsu, or Kyoshinja?"

"Kyoshinja!"

"Puppet."

"Hope."

"Noun or verb?"

"Verb."

"Negau, Kibo Suru, Kitai Suru, or Deshou?"

"Deshou."

"Internal."

"Horror."

"…Just nouns. Hora, Osore, or Ritsuzen?"

"Hora."

"Reaper."

"…Life and death."

"One word?"

"Yes."

"Seishi, Shikatsu, or Inochigake?"

"…Seishi."

"You six are ready."


And I stop here! Those names were hard. Reaper's was going to be just Life, but there were too many translations. *Twitch, Twitch* So many… Oh, and Tea is not going to reappear for a while, she'll probably appear at the Chunin Exams. Tell me whom you want the Shorai to bring back. And I still need names for Reaper- Oops- Seishi's team. Please review!
