Chapter Two- Missing Nin

Meena

"Why did you kill them?" Cat asked the blonde in front of her. They had already seen the building, where ANBU black ops laid dead. A thousand of them, kill by one person. "Why did you kill ANBU members and then one of the elders?"

"Who said it was just the one?" Meena asked them. She had a week to train to get rid of Danzo and his 'Root', but the other two were also in the way. She knew the third saw them as friends, but now they were just in the way trying to get more power.

"The other two deaths… was you! Why did you kill our elders?"

"To test myself, why else?"

Next to Cat a man with a Tiger's mask glared at. Only his brown hair was seen, she kept an eye on the other two, but she knew she would be able to outrun all of them. The other women wore a Bird mask and had black hair. None of them looked happy with her answer.

"To test yourself?" Tiger asked her, anger clear in his voice. She knew Tsunade would've picked the ones she was more likely to escape from. "You killed over a thousand Black Op's to test yourself."

"Why not, you lot are the best? Guess that was a lie," Meena said her orange skirt flying in the wind showing black shorts. She needed to meet Tsunade soon, but that meant getting away from the three in front of her. It wouldn't be hurt, since the Senju's chakra was going to their meeting spot, somewhere that only the two of them know about. "After all they weren't that hurt to get rid of. What's this village coming to? But I'll just have to prove how useless you are."

Sasuke

"So you killed him?" a male asked Sasuke. He knew who he was going to pick for his team, but he needed them to agree or he would have to find someone else, but he was sure that they would. He had spent the journey going through his old teammates scrolls. Learning anything that was of use, Itachi would be stronger than him and he needed something over him.

"Yes," Sasuke told him looking at the tub, but to anyone else it would look like there was only water, but Sasuke knew better. Suigetsu was one of Orochimaru's experiments, playing around with genetics to see if he could make someone have water jutsu better than the second's. "I'm here to let you out."

"I see."

Taking his sword from the shield that was on his waist, getting through the glass letting the prisoner free. A naked white haired male sat on the ground a toothy grin on his face.

"Thanks."

"Your first, so come with me."

"Just because you killed the snack means nothing," Suigetsu told him walking up behind putting two of his fingers against his head. "Someone was bound to do it. You were just at his side the most, while the rest of us were locked up."

"Put some clothes on."

Meena

"Hello Mina," Tsunade said looking at the blonde. She was slightly bleeding and bruised, but it would've been worse. "How are Team Cat? You didn't kill them?"

"All three of them are fine," Mina told her. She was still under her henge, but she had spent sixteen years of her life pretending to be an Uzumaki, easier to do if your godmother was one, and she felt more comfortable as Meena Uzumaki, then her birth name. "I knocked them out, they didn't see it coming since I 'stuck at genjutsu'."

"Your mask is better than some would guess."

"You wanted to see me? You couldn't just let me go."

"Yes, but I wanted to give you something."

"The third didn't do this with Itachi," Mina said her blue eyes widening, but Tsunade knew that those eyes didn't belong to her, but to a child who was killed during the Kyuubi attack. Naruto Uzumaki was killed before a few seconds after she or he was born.

"He did. He promised to protect Sasuke and not tell the truth to the village," Tsunade told her. That was the only thing that Itachi wanted, but she wanted Mina to be able to protect herself, she saw the girl as a daughter no matter if she was an Uchiha or Uzumaki. "However I wanted to give you some medical Ninjutsu scrolls, along with other things. You've already been to the compound?"

"Yes. I'll keep my clan's things safe."

"And what happens if Sasuke comes back for them."

"He won't."

"And you know how?"

"He sees them as useless and to an extant some are," Mina said pulling at a scroll with the Uchiha clan's fan on it. "Some of it's just history. Most of it jutsu that's been copied, so he'll already know them."

Sasuke

"We're going to get Karin," Sasuke told Suigetsu once they reached 'Naruto Bridge'. He didn't know why Meena told Tazuna to call it that when her name wasn't Naruto or had anything to do with ramen. Before he thought it was just her ramen addition, but now he didn't know. It could've been for a number of reasons, ones only the blonde girl would know. "And Juugo."

"You want to get that bitch?" Suigetsu asked walking onto the wooden bridge. "She experimented one me a few times. We don't get along."

"She's needed."

"Who else?"

"Juugo."

Meena

"So you're leaving?" Tsunade asked and Mina just sighed. She knew the older women didn't want her to go, but she promised to learn Medical Ninjutsu and that she wouldn't take unnecessary risks. She needed to go, since she was sure that everyone would be calling for her head. She also didn't want to answer any questions about her true identity and what happened on October the tenth sixteen years ago.

"I need to leave. I'm sure Itachi would've gotten the message," Mina told her while rolling her eyes. Her brother and her cousin was the only two who linked her chosen name to her birth one. There was a reason she chose it. "You know they won't want me back. Not without telling them the truth, I've gone sixteen years lying to them. I can't afford to tell them nor do I trust anyone in the village."

Sasuke

"He wants you to come with us," Suigetsu told the red head. He knew that Sasuke wasn't going to say anything, since he was just looking at her. Did she remind him of someone?

"You think I'll just go with you?" Karin asked looking at the two of them. She was in charge of the Southern base. "But I guess since you're here, then Orochimaru is no longer with us."

Sasuke just looked at her. She reminded him of Sakura, with her annoying high pitched voice and taken care of hair, before Sakura cut her pink locks in the forest of death. Not only that, but he didn't know her last name and he recognised her from somewhere. When Suigetsu had left, she looked at him and took of her glasses, showing her matching red eyes. Red hair, red eyes?

Wasn't Kushina Uzumaki someone with red hair, but violet eyes. He had studied his Mum's scroll more, before looking at her best friend and his godmother. She had past the same day Mina went missing and when Meena was born. He guessed she was born that day, since there wasn't any records of her birth. Just hospitals visits and when she entered the academy.

"Will you go with us?" he asked wondering if he should've went with Suigetsu, after all he didn't want nor need another fan girl on his team, Sakura was bad enough.

"Of course," she said pulling his arm against her flat chest. Meena was bigger then her, then again, that girl could eat more than most grown man. "Why don't we leave that fish behind?"

"So is she coming?"

Meena

"Thought I'd never get to leave," Meena muttered to herself. She was a grown women, she didn't need to be babysit. Through she did get to walk away with more than thirty scrolls from the women, her wounds where healed and she got a small talk about how Medical Ninjutsu worked. "Worrywart, she's worse than both Minato and Kushina… combined."

Walking to an old building. It was used during the warring era, when clans were fighting against each other and they had to have safe buildings where they could hide if something was going to happen, or even when they couldn't find any good weapons to buy.

Slowly walking in, she dropped her henge. A black haired girl replaced the sunny blonde. Mother had always told me I looked like a female version of Aniki, Mina thought walking down the old hallway, where two cats were waiting for her.

"Hello, I'm here to see granny," Mina told them. She had to be careful with her words, even if the car contract had been in the family for generations, or if she was the current holder of the summons, they still had tempers that would reveal her godmother, and that women got her nickname for a reason. "It's been a while, but I had to hide myself."

"I understand. Come with me."

Sasuke

"Here?" Sasuke asked the girl next to him. He doesn't know if she's telling the truth, after all she had just sent Suigetsu in the wrong direction, but he guessed the chains were there to keep someone in and it was mostly likely Juugo on the other side.

"Juugo's on the other side," Karin told him looking at the door. She rarely left the Southern hide out and no one really went to the Northern, since it was more of a lab then a hide out. Unlocking the lock pads, she tells the raven that she'll open the door, but he stops her and tell her he'll go first.

Opening the door, a male with black marks running across his body looks at them, grinning before shouting, "Bingo! I'll kill!"

"He's coming," Karin said as he ran towards him. Sasuke only looked at him, his curse seal slowly turning him into his second stage. He wasn't going to die, not until he knew what happened to Mina Uchiha and saw Itachi Uchiha dead at his feet.
