Chapter 3

Cho appears outside the Hokage's Office and knocks. "Come in." Zap looks at the door. "Ah, Cho. How did it go?"

"He is alive and well."

"Good job, Cho." Zap heads into his desk draw and pulls out some money. He tosses it to Cho. "There is your payment for the mission."

"Thank you, sir."

"Is there anything else you want?"

"Can I wait for my big brother here?"

"Of course, can you help me while you are waiting?"

"Sure." Cho walks over to Zap. "What do you need?"

"I need you to move these scrolls into that filing cabinet, while I straighten up my desk." Zap hands Cho some scrolls as she walks over and places them in a filing cabinet. Zap then proceeds to straighten up his desk. "It gets quite chaotic in this office."

"I bet it does. How do you keep calm?"

"I keep calm by thinking of the people I have sworn to protect."

"That is so cool. That is what will make you a respected leader Seikage-sama."

"Thank you, Cho-san."

Daichi appears outside the Hokage's Office and knocks. "Come in." Daichi walks in. "Ah, Daichi. How did it go?"

"All bandits are dead. However a thief-nin was there and got away."

"Who was the thief-nin?"

"He said his name was Kichiro…"

"Doratabo, do NOT fight against him!"

"Why?" Daichi looks on in confusion.

"He is only a match for someone like Justin, or me as of now. If you want to fight him, I'll see if Justin can train you."

"Daichi!" Cho runs up and hugs Daichi.

"Well here is your pay, Daichi. Keep getting stronger and I may send you after Kichiro." Zap hands some money to Daichi.

"Thank you. Let's go Cho." The two of them leave.

"If Kichiro is near, that means Jufi is involved. I hope I don't have to face her again." Zap looks out the window with a worried look on his face.

"Cho, what were you doing there?"

"Waiting for you."

"Why?"

"I was wondering if you could become the leader for a new team I am starting with two other chunin."

"Sure, I'll become the leader. Who are the two other people?"

"You will meet them tomorrow."

"Where is mother?"

"She is at the hospital looking after one of the new teammates. He was injured on a mission. His sister will meet us at the Hokage's Office tomorrow."

"I hope this will be a fun experience."

"Don't worry. It's always fun when I'm around."

"You can always make me smile, Cho." Cho smiles as the two of them walk through Seiashi.

A girl in an Akatsuki-like pure black robe is in the forest at a base built by her. "Soon, Seiashi will fall, and so shall Zap. Tobi, prepare my lunch."

"Yes, Mistress Jufi." Tobi scrambles around trying to prepare Jufi's lunch. Jufi walks into the living room and sits on the couch.

"Tobi, did you send Kichiro to get those plans?"

"Yes, mistress."

Just then Kichiro appears. "Here are the plans you wanted." Kichiro hands a couple scrolls to Jufi.

"Thank you, Kichiro. Here is your pay." Jufi grabs a bag of money and throws it to Kichiro. Kichiro catches it.

"Always a pleasure to serve you, Jufi-sama."

"Let's hope for victory against Zap."

"As long as I get to take down the Tsuchinaga's, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you for the help." Jufi smiles as Tobi brings her lunch to her.

"Here you go mistress."

"Thank you Tobi."

"It's always a pleasure to serve you." Tobi hugs her after placing the lunch on the table. Jufi smacks Tobi over the head.

"What did I say?!"

"Sorry, Mistress Jufi." Tobi leaves her be.

"I'll be off. I have other clients as well."

"Good bye Kichiro." Kichiro disappears. Jufi smirks. "Good-bye, Seiashi!! Mwahahahahaha!!" Jufi continues on laughing evilly before snapping. "Where is my lunch?!"
