Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, If I did,then Tora would be in Naruto :3 I only own Tora Tsu-ze Haitsuchi owns Tsu-ze and Satake owns Awa.
I was racing through the streets of Konoha, heading towards the North Gate, to say goodbye to my teammates. They were heading on a mission, accompanied with Sasuke and Sakura. I got pulled out of a mission again. Naruto and I "borrowed Kakashi-sensei's book" and got caught. I was also eavesdropping on important information being discussed by the hokage. The discussion was about a certain ninja, but right before they mentioned his name, I fell, breaking my jutsu and, landing in the middle of their conversation. Naruto still got to go on the mission though. I got a nice D-rank mission and a whole lot of freetime. I was a good-spirited person, some of the time, so I still wanted to see them off.
" Hey! Are you leaving already?" I yelled to them as I neared the gate, spotting them standing in a group.
"Not yet Tora!" Tsu-ze yelled back, "As soon as Kakashi-sensei gets here!"I now stood in the group, sad I wouldn't be going too.
"Good, I didn't want to miss you leave."I said, you could hear the jealousy in my turned and mentioned,
"You would get to go to if you hadn't eavesdropped on the hokage, and got caught." She mocked. We normally played pranks on people, "borrowed" stuff, and eavesdropped on people, but we often didn't get caught.
"I know..I know..." I said, ignoring the jealousy and remembering my own stupidity." at least I can hang around and train...and possibly wring a mission out of the hokage." I grinned, she normally had a small mission for me to do. Kakashi-sensei came up saying,
"Sorry I'm late!" followed by Sakura and Naruto yelling,
"Your always late sensei!" and just yelling at him for being late. Sasuke , the odd chicken-butt-head emo kid, just stood their staring into the forest.
"Lets go!" He grinned,marching out of the village, his students still scolding him for being late. Tsu-ze and Awa followed, after turning to me and saying,
"Bye Tora see you in a week or so!"
"Bye! Good luck on your mission!" I yelled, as they dissappeared over the morning horizon.I turned and sighed, knowing I now had to do my D-rank mission. I had to go find an orange neko.
'well,' I thought summoning my tiger companion.'at least this will be easy.'
"Hey Tsume, how'd you sleep" I asked transforming her into her cat form.
"Fine, you?" she meowed, cocking her head to the side, before jumping on my shoulder.
"ok, I guess.." I mumbled. I never get any sleep, I stay up thinking or, I wake up early. I never get more than 5 hours of sleep, even when lying unconscious, or by genjutsu.
"You need to start getting more sleep Tora!" she hissed, angry at me for not listening the last time she told me too. I grabbed the orange neko, that was bathing in the sun, and continued to the Hokage's office. I hate d-rank missions...I grumbled as Tsume just stood across my shoulders as usual.
"Here, have a cat." I grumbled, as I walked into the Hokage's office.
"Already Tora?" she asked, not understanding how I had already gotten the small animal," I guess "I'll give you another mission then."I mentally congratulated myself as she continued, "This is only a b-rank mission," she said handing me the mission details,"seeing you are chunin, you may pick two ninjas to accompany you." At this I was excited, I wasn't normally the leader. I rushed off, not waiting fort he Hokage to finish, though I doubt she had much to say.
I happen to know exactly who I was bringing on the mission Kiba and Shikamaru. I chose Kiba because I kinda like Kiba...and I chose Shikamaru because he was chunin like me, and was really fun to play Shougi and other logic games with him. They are also both really strong ninjas. I raced to the rooftop , to find Shikamaru staring at the clouds, as usual.
"Shikamaru," I said as he sat up and looked at me," We have a mission. I'll tell you the details as soon as we find Kiba."
"What a drag." he sighed standing up."Well Kiba is most likely out training with Shino and Hinata." he looked at me and we ran to go the forest to find Kiba and Akamaru training alongside Hinata and Shino, just like Shikamaru had said.
"Kiba!Akamaru!" I called to them as they turned and walked over to me, Tsume now jumping down off my shoulders.
"What's up Tora?" He asked looking very cute with his hood off, as Akamaru walked up to Tsume and growled. Tsume simply glared back, knowing we could take them on if necessary.
"A mission. You, Akamaru, Shikamaru, me, and Tsume must retreive this scroll from a nearby town." I answered, turning to make sure Shikamaru got it. He just nodded.
"When are we going?" Kiba asked, cocking his head.I took a step back and stated,
"As soon as possible, it'll be an easy mission. It's only b-rank."
"Lets get this over with then." Shikamaru spoke up. We met an hour later at the South gate of Konoha, to leave for our mission.
"Where is this town." Kiba asked after we had traveled miles from the village, and the sun began to set. I began to answer when Shikamaru spoke up,
"About 20 miles from here." Kiba groaned as Shikamaru continued," We should rest, it's getting dark."
" Let's set up camp here." I said, jumping down off the tree branch, and landing in a small clearing.
After we set up camp,made a small fire, and ate some of our food, I took the first lookout shift.
"You sure Tora? " Kiba yawned, already halfway asleep, Akamaru lying next to him.
" guys go ahead and sleep, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep this early anyways." I stated, as Kiba fell asleep. Shikamaru, who was sitting beside me, finally spoke up,
"Youv'e always been a creature of the night. You'd rather watch the clouds pass across the moon than the sun." He yawned, and leaned back, now lying on the ground, staring at the dark sky. Today, the clouds looked as if they were red as blood.
Hours after Shikamaru fell asleep, I arched my head back, and yawned, Tsume sitting beside me, staring at the forest beyond. Suddenly, Tsume's ears twitched, sensing something, but before she could meow, something sharp, and cold was pressed against my neck.
"Come with us." The monotoned shadow said, pressing the dagger harder against my throat.
"Oh? and who are you?" I asked, strangely not scared of the enemy ninja.
"If you come with us we'll tell you." I heard a different voice say, this one with emotion.
"SHIKA-" I yelled, my mouth suddenly muffled by a hand, and blood was now spilling down my neck.
'fine' I thought, biting the hand,' I'll give you a fight' I formed some short hand signs, and the shadowed figure was now holding a log.
I drew my two swords, and used the shadow clone jutsu. Ten of me were now rushing into battle, and I left a clone sitting in the tree to confuse them. I aimed at my attacker first, starting with taijutsu. I sent Tsume after the other one. All of my clones were beaten by his taijutsu, and I started using ninjutsu, I could not manage genjutsu. I did get a look at his headband though, and saw that he was a leaf-missin-nin. He was wearing a black cloak covered in red and white clouds. I looked up and saw a red flicker, and figured it must be sharingan, looked away. I tried activating my kekki genkai, but failed, my chakra was low, and I had reached the point of exhaustion. I reached for my swords,but found them missing. Looking around, I found myself in my old house, before my clan was killed.
"What...why am I here?" I yelled, realizing this is where I killed...then it hit me " a genjutsu! Damn Uchiha. "I gathered a bunch of chakra in my body then released it all at once, breaking the genjutsu. I stood up, to find Kiba and Shikamaru standing and fighting these two missin-nin.
"I'm guessing both S-rank or higher, must be of that organization Naruto was going on about."Shikamaru updated, when he realized I'd broken the genjutsu.
"So that means..." I said, adding it up,"Itachi Uchiha, and who is the other?"
" a missin-nin from the hidden mist" Kiba yelled out, attacking the gilled- ninja. This sucks! we're only 2 chunin and a genin against 2 s-rank ninjas!
"Water style: Water dragon Jutsu!" I yelled forming the 53 handsigns used for that jutsu. The dragon attacked Itachi, yet having no effect."Ok then lets get more complicated! Chidori!" I yelled setting the electrical current through the water dragon, making it twice as time I sent it to attack the other ninja, and all he did was slice his sword through it and it splashed to the ground.I stood there, staring as my favorite combination was so easily beaten. I reached for my shortswords again, and this time, found them there. I sent chakra blazing through them, as I ran to attack the ninja with the huge sword. Kiba and Shikamaru were now attacking Itachi. As our swords met, I was surprised to be thrown backwards, hitting a tree, and most likely breaking something. That sword, it is not normal, suddenly the chakra flowing through mine was dissappearing, draining the chakra from my body. The tree met my back hard,
"Dammit!" I yelled as I tried to make my body move, but it refused to respond. I spotted my swords jammed in the ground in front of me and, as I struggled to reach for them, I saw that Shikamaru and Kiba were lying on the ground, not unconscious or dead, but like me trying to stand. I returned my gaze in front of me, to be met by two red eyes, and my world faded away...The darkness swallowing me...
I squinted, my eyes refusing to open all the way, and almost bellowed in pain. I felt like I had the worst hangover ever, and I've never even had sake before. I spotted two shadowed figures, and a small flickering fire. I suddenly felt an extremely sharp searing pain in my left when I attempted to move it.I stood up, looking around for my companions, but found no trace of them. I decided to yell,
"What'd you do with Shikamaru and Kiba you friggin missin-nin!" I looked up at the ninjas and found myself , once again, staring into a pair of red-eyes."Damn Sharingan!" I yelled as I fell into darkness...
Itachi's POV
We arrived at the base, carrying the girl, surprised she had woken up yesterday at all, normally people were out for days or even weeks... but 4 hours? never that early. She is a very strong ninja, and Leader-sama said she has a dark side,I remember her killing all those ninjas when she was very small. The day they killed her clan. Who are these ninjas and why are we forcing them to join. I heard there are three of them. I wonder when she'll wake up.
Reveiw! please reveiw! and I'll let you fangirls have Itachi(I dont like the stupid Uchiha) And you guys can have Shikamaru, and if there are any Kisame fans out there...
