"Chapter Two:
New Mission"
Dawn came. Naruto was lying unconsciouss in the hospital, while Sasuke was being examined, fully awake through the whole proccess. How embarressing.
Meanwhile, Kakashi, and Sakura were at the Hokage's mansion with every other genin squad, with their report. "It seems rather odd, but whoever Minodi Umo really is, he came prepared." Neji said, reporting of his investigation of the crime scene.
"But, why go to all the trouble for a wing?" Ino asked.
"I don't know, but whatever the reason, it isn't good." Neji said. The Hokage nodded, and turned to Sakura, and Kakashi.
"You two claim that you found him, but how did he get away?" Tsunade asked
The two sighed. "We found him because of Sasuke's sharingan. He used a dart to paralyze Naruto, who's still unconscious in the hospital." Sakura said, sadly.
"Sakura took care of Naruto, but in the mean time, Sasuke, and I were chasing him down, and we caught up to him just as the sun came up. Minodi Umo seems as though he's not evan out of his teenage years. Anyway, we cut him off, but he attacked Sasuke quicker than the wind in our faces, and stopped me from getting to him, but there was an odd piece about his escape." Kakashi said.
"Define odd." Tsunade said. Kakashi continued.
"He seemed to have thrown something into the air, and in a flash of green light, a giant, green bird appeared. He got on top of it, and flew off. I was going to catch up, but in a blinding white light, he disappeared (i no, i left tht out, sry!)." Kakashi finished.
"Anything else?" He was asked by Shikamaru.
"Nothing, but this card that reads: 'Kazami,' it could mean something." He answered, giving the card to Lady Tsunade. "I sent Kiba, Hinata, Shino, and Kurenai, to help with a little more digging." Kakashi said.
Just then, the door opened. "Sorry we're late, milady, but we had to finish the investigation." Kurenai said.
"And?" Tsunade questioned.
"And... nothing." Hinata admitted.
"It appears as though Minodi Umo left no trace, besides that card. My beetles couldn't find any clues, nor could Hinata's Byakugan." Shino said.
"Not only that, but the guy covered up his tracks. I couldn't get a wif of him nor this bird Kakashi told us about, both Akamaru, and I couldn't." Kiba said.
"He was prepared. He knew of several, maybe everyway we could track him down." Tenten commented.
"Yes! And, he used the facts he gathered to make it seem as though nothing evan happened." Lee added. Everyone nodded to this.
Jiraya, who was standing in the room, took the card Tsunade had. "Let me see if I can find anything on 'Kazami,' I might find out why they wanted that wing, and where they're keeping it." He said.
"Very well." Tsunade said. With that, their little conference was over, and everyone left.
Now, at the hospital, Sakura, and Kakashi came into Sasuke's room, whom which he was sharing with none other than Naruto. "Sakura, Kakashi." Sasuke groaned out.
"Sasuke, how are you feeling?" Sakura asked, running up to him.
"Alright, but I can barely feel my body." He answered.
"And Naruto?" Kakashi questioned.
"He's been moaning a little, but he hasn't woken up, yet." Sasuke answered.
Another load moan came from Naruto, as he began to squint his eyes, and peer tham open, ever so slightly. He blinked a few times, clearing his blury vision.
"Naruto!" Sakura said of surprise.
"Huh?" Naruto turned his head to Sakura. "Huh?! What the...!?" He sat up, and looked around, rapidely.
"That medicine works fast." Sasuke said.
"No doubt." Kakashi said.
"Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi sensei, what happened?" Naruto asked.
"He got away." Kakashi said.
"Whaaaaaaaaaat?!" Naruto yelled.
Thirty minutes went by, as they explained what happened after Naruto knocked out.
"And that's it." Kakashi said.
"So, Minodi got away on a giant, green bird?" Naruto asked.
"Actually, Minodi Umo got away on a giant, green phoenix." Naruto looked out the window, to see Jiraya.
"You finished finding information that quickley?" Kakashi asked.
"Yep! Lady Tsunade wants everyone at her mansion. Everyone who's able to come, that is." Jiraya said.
"I'm not sitting this one out!" Naruto said.
"Sasuke?" Sakura questioned.
"I think I'm well enough to move. I'm going!" He told Jiraya.
"Alright! See you there!" And poof, Jiraya was gone.
Returning to the Hokage's mansion, every squad was there. "Well, what have you found out, Jiraya?" Tsunade asked.
Jiraya pulled out a book, and opened up to a page that was titled: "風見," otherwise read in english as "Kazami."
"The Kazami's are of a noble clan, who live in a large portion of the village: Seiki (1)." He said.
"Really?" Kakashi said.
"Yes, but that's not the interesting part." The group leaned in with suspense. "The Kazami's are suspected to be trained as ninja." Jiraya said.
"Rogues?" Shino questioned.
"Not rogues, persay. They're suspected to be a clan of Tamashi (2) Ninja. The techniques of the Tamashi ninjas involve, not only physical strength, and mental knowledge, but of their own balanced spirit. They use the control in themselves to create abilities that are inhuman, and that we as ninja can't comprhend to." Jiraya said.
"That would explain the spead, how he got in, and out of the compound, but I don't quite understand the green bird." Neji said.
"Getting to it!" Jiraya said. He cleared his throat. "That was no ordinary bird, that was a green phoenix." He proclaimed.
"How do ya know that?" Naruto asked.
"The symbol of the Kazami's is a green phoenix. Two, actually. The legendary Skyress, and Galeress. Twin phoenixes, said to have partnered with the Kazami's, and saved the world. They also had several other phoenixes like Ingrum, and Gustromen. That phoenix, you saw being one of these others." Jiraya finished.
"The wing, why did they want them?" Tsunade questioned.
"That was the left Keshu (3) Kasai (4) Wing. These wings belong to the head of their clan, and are meant to represent their praise to the phoenixes: Skyress, and Galeress." Jiraya said.
"It makes sense to want it back, but why steal it when they could've came here, an talk with the Hokage?" Shikamaru asked.
"That's what I've wanted to know." Jiraya said.
"Huh?" The whole group said at once.
"The Kazami's are supposed to be peaceful, and reasonable. They wouldn't stoop to this, unless it was a last resort." Jiraya said.
"I recieved nothing from the Kazami's, though." Tsunade said. She groaned. "Jiraya! Neji Hyuga! And team 7."
"Yes, milady?" Everyone announced, but Naruto said.
"Here is your assignment. You will go to the village of Seiki, and visit the Kazami's. I want to know everything about why they did that, and the details on this Minodi Umo. Am I clear?" They all gave her a confirming nod. "Good! You leave first thing tomarrow morning."
That ending the conference, as everyone went home, and these six awaiting their new mission the next day.
I hope you liked it. The Bakugan characters are coming soon, I swear! Next chap, they'll be in. Oh! Here are the translations of some of the words.
(1) Seiki = Sanctuary
(2) Tamashi = Soul
(3) Keshu = Crystal
(4) Kasai = Fire
