disclaimer: again I don't own naruto, or Deidara wouldn't die! sadness...

"wait...what happens with the tailed beasts and their jinchuriki?" I spoke up, thinking of Naruto, and the nine-tailed fox.
"We seal the tailed beast into a stone beast," he started,his voice as cold as ever as he began explaining,"and the jinchurikis die." With that statement Tsu-ze's face took on a terrible, and yet concerned glare, as she thought about Naruto and Gaara, both jinchurikis and both extremely important to her (especially Gaara),"We will train you, to be s-rank level, so you can realize your full abilities. I will assign you mentors at a later date, for now go and meet everyone, and after Itachi will show you where you'll be staying." he finished, completely ignoring the astonished look on our faces when we heard what happens to the began heading out and we, still slightly stunned at our fate, followed him out.
we walked down the hall, and found a few ninjas sitting at the table,
"Hey Tora, Tsu-ze and Awa!" said an excited masked ninja, who seems to have forgotten how I was "mean" earlier,"I'll show you around!"
Itachi's POV
Who was that ninja? she seems like someone I should know, and she stared at me, like Sasuke does, revenge flashing in her eyes...she can't possibly be an Uchiha,could she? No, Sasuke was the only one younger than me, unless...Satake...can't be...her...can she?...besides this ninja is part fox...she does not possess the same name though...but she is same age...and looks just like her...
Kame's POV
I am a medic-nin in the hidden leaf village, under the teachings of Tsunade, who recently arrived at the village, and is the 5Th hokage. I am on team 5 with Tora, Tsu-ze, and Awa, but I haven't been on many missions lately because, i have been constantly training, and am a very high ranking medic-nin, already as good as Shizune.
'Where could they be?'I mentally screamed,Tora had disappeared 5 days ago, and half of Tsu-ze and Awa's team arrived back without them, apparently they had been ambushed, and had taken them must have been someone extremely strong, because they all are really strong ninjas, who had rarely ever been defeated, our whole team is strong, even I am. we were 4 of the 5 ninjas that became chunins at the last chunin exams, shikamaru I raced through the forest, attempting to look for traces of chakra, we hadn't began looking for Tora yet because she often disappears into Tsume's world,or just randomly hides, but after Tsu-ze and Awa's disappearance, and the traces of a battle where Tora had been training, there is no doubt...
"I found something!" I yelled to the 2 anbu members helping search, when I sensed a stale yet powerful chakra leading away from the village...
Awa's POV
We began following Tobi around their base, he is just non-stop talking,
"...this is my room and this is the kitchen and this is Hidan's room, you were in Deidara-senpai's room this morning, and...-" He continued pointing to the rooms as we went, and I turned and saw Tora look slightly surprised at this statement, While nothing seemed to phase Tsu-ze, she was ignoring everything. I continued to listen to Tobi drone on,
"...this is Itachi's room, Kisame's room, and this... is your room." he said, in his happy voice, stopping in front of a door.
"So we are going to stay here?" I asked while opening the door to reveal three beds and a small table settled in the room,
"Tobi will leave you guys here, k?" He said cocking his head to the side and after we nodded began walking toward his room.
Tora's POV "I can't believe that they expect us to stay." I said now sitting cross-legged on one of the beds.
"I have an idea...but first.."Tsu-ze started,making a series of hand-signs, forming a jutsu we all knew, that blocked out any eavesdroppers,"lets be good and survive, then when they send us on missions, we escape."she finished sitting on one of the other beds.
"Yeah, but will they place us on the same team? Probably not..." Awa stated, the answer to her question could completely ruin our plan.
"Dammit, though it is worth a shot! Even if I can't stand these ninjas, especially Itachi...sorry Awa." I said realizing I had just insulted her family, even if this ninja killed the rest of her clan. I shot her a glance, and realized she didn't yell, so I'm guessing she has no connection with Itachi.
"It's okay, i know he killed the clan, yet I never even knew the clan, or that I even had a clan, before my sharingan awakened." she said admitting her past, even though we already know, she still cares that this ninja killed her clan before she was able to know her family...
"I'm bored, lets go find something to do!" Tsu-ze spoke up, releasing her jutsu, and standing up so she could walk out of the room. We all walked out of the room, trying to find something to do. We began searching some of the rooms Tobi had not shown us, most of the rooms empty, spare a bed. We opened the last door and saw what looked like their storage room.
"Look at these weapons!" Tsu-ze yelled, grabbing a few kunais and shurinken to replace the ones stolen from her. Awa and I also replenished our stock. As we searched through the rest of the room. finding numerous supplies, including a couple katanas.
"I'll just borrow these, then."I said picking up two shortswords, swinging them to test their weight, and placing them in the empty sheaths on my back," Just until Itachi returns my blades." "And I'll just use this for now just until my katana is returned." Tsu-ze stated testing the sharpness of the blade on an empty crate, slicing it in 2, then placing it in the sheath strung across her back.
"someone's coming." Awa whispered, as the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall,"hide!"we all quickly hid, me using my invisibility jutsu as well as being on the ceiling, Tsu-ze and Awa hid too, I wasn't watching, but the room was completely empty in seconds. The door creaked open, revealing a blue-faced ninja, Kisame. He walked inside, his sword slung across his back, and a smug on his face,
"Samahaden, can taste your chakra, you know." Kisame stated pointed in the direction of Tsu-ze and Awa, who quickly appeared,"I know the other one's in here too," he said as I quickly appeared by my friends, "so thats part of your kekki-genki then?" he asked, not waiting for an answer, as he grabbed a few weapons and proceded outside.
"so...what are you doing?"I asked, bored out of my mind, now walking by his side.
"We're going to assess your skills to determine what skills we can teach you, and to find someone for a partner." he said now walking outside into an open field, where Itachi was sitting, staring into space, like usual. I figured he was zoning out so, to test this out, tossed a shurinken at him, and he, still staring into space, simply reached out and grabbed it.
"Great..." I groaned as Itachi began to stand,"We get to be assessed by you too then?"he simply glared as Kisame adressed the three of us, Awa cut off her glare of hatred with Itachi, and Tsu-ze had her usual mischevious look on her face, while I was just annoyed that Itachi was here assessing us.
"So, you all have a kekki genki, right? show us then." he questioned pointing at Awa, "you first." Awa, continued glaring at Itachi and, forming hand signs said,
"Sharingan!" as her eyes turned from a light brown color to a dark red, Itachi twitched at the sight of this then, returned to his usual emotionless face.
Itachi's POV It is my cousin after all then...when she was 3 she was kidnapped by some ninja, and was not found...she was thought to be dead...
"So it is you Satake.." I said after she activated her sharingan, she was stunned by this statement but still managed to say,
"I am not Uchiha Satake anymore, I am Awa! I never had a clan because of you! And do not know that name!" she yelled glaring at me with the same eyes Sasuke has.
"Oh, now your Awa? last time I saw you, you were my little cousin Uchiha Satake." I continued with my emotionless voice, I could not move, for I felt if I moved I may run and hug her as I wished to do with Sasuke everytime I saw him.
"Leave her alone baka-Itachi! She hates you! You killed the clan she could now have!" her friend yelled removing two swords from her sheaths,' I guess they found the supply room then.' I thought as I glared back at her.
"It's okay Tora, this is my fight." Awa/Satake said and Tora, growling, stood down, Tsu-ze who was still wearing her mischevious smile, quickly changed to a concerned, yet angry glare switching between me and Awa.
"Okay then," Kisame cut in trying to finish this,"lets see your kekki genki then." he pointed at Tsu-ze, who formed some quick hand-signs, whispered something and her jutsu went into eyes transformed into the yin-yang symbols a purple misted dragon swirled around her then went strait to Kisame, who dodged, leaving his sword in the ground, as the dragon passed over the sword, it began frantically swirling, messing with its soul, then the dragon dissipated as Tsu-ze said,
"That is not a normal sword is it? it seems to have a chakra force of its own, and almost a soul. Yet the soul is completely evil, if it even is a soul, my jutsu was unable to eat it." she said, suprised at the odd blade. 'wow, glad I didn't get hit with that, it seems that the dragon not only eats the soul, it also can tell the soul's meanings.' I thought as the ninja sat down, breathing heavily, that jutsu must use a lot of chakra.
"so thats what it does then, what a dangerous jutsu."Kisame said now pointing at Tora,"Your last then.". she stood up formed some hand signs and said,
"elemental tiger: Fire!" as she transformed into a tiger shaped, ball of fire, and when her and her chakra dissapeared I activated my sharingan, and found her about bite down with her fiery jaws, on my arm, but I quickly used a substitution jutsu. she bit the log, and it dissolved into smoldering ashes. She then returned to her normal form saying,
"Dammit! Why'd you move?I was so close to biting your arm off and..." when she saw my eyes I used a genjutsu, but she quickly broke it,"It's always your sharingan, got anything else?" the glint in her eyes disappeared when Kisame addressed the three of them,
"good, so now we wish to know your chakra natures." he handed us each a two strips of paper," send your chakr-"
"Yeah, yeah, we got it." Tora said already sending chakra into both of the papers, one got wet while the other crumpled up, Awa's papers turned to ash and crumpled up, while both of Tsu-ze's faded into nothing.
Tora's POV
"what happened to yours, where did it go?" Kisame asked when he saw the strange sight,
"what? that's my chakra nature." she smiled , probably laughing on the inside at why the paper dissapeared,
"oh, and what element is that?" he asked with an annoyed look on his face.
"well. duh..." she started, rolling her eyes," Spirit, the 6th element."
"ok then, that must be a clan trait?" Kisame asked. her smile faded, and the light shone on her face, where a crossed scar shone in the dim light.
"I wouldn't know...I lost my clan long ago." she said sadly, then the mischevious smile snuck on her face again, " So when do we get to go on missions,'cause we're bored." she complained reading our minds.
"when you finish your assessment and are assigned partners." he growled, obviously wanting to get this done with,"only one more thing, swordsmanship for you two," he said pointing at Tsu-ze and I," and you will show Itachi what you can do with your sharingan." he finished as Itachi began walking slightly away with Awa following.
"fine, so what kind of swordsmanship?" I asked, not even planning anything..., turning to us answered "any kind, come at me with your swords, prepared to kill." he said raising Samahaden.I grabbed the 2 replacement swords from my sheaths and ran at Kisame,our swords met and the my replacement blades, not made of the same sort of metal as my own swords, got sliced in half, and Kisame swung again and got my left arm. The pain was devastating as I felt my skin being shredded and the chakra seeming to disappear from that area. I fell to the ground and, after rolling to the side to lean against a nearby tree, bandaged my wound. At this time Tsu-ze was attacking Kisame, her sword holding out a little longer than either of mine did. when Kisame finally sliced her sword in 2, just as he did mine. "wow, and you call yourselves swordsmen.."he sighed, obviously surprised at the short length of the fight.
"Well, maybe if you gave us our swords..." I growled, examining my finished work,"we might actually be a challenge!" I then stood up, when Kisame's eyes met mine and clearly said,' Why don't you go get them then?' rolling my eyes, having already tried that a couple times, I gave in and, unenthusiasticly, stormed off toward the area Awa and Itachi had disappeared to. When I saw him, my feet rooted to the spot,refusing to move. As I struggled to move my feet, I looked up to find Itachi glaring at me, Awa/Satake beside him her eyes fixed on the murderer of her clan, as Itachi's eyes were, emotionlessly on me, asking what I wanted I gave up on moving my feet, I said, with a murderous look on my face "Return my swords, so I can train" and , to my suprise, he did. My swords were now in the tree beside me, missing my head by an inch,and forcing their way halfway through, the bark now splinted around them, shredded pieces falling to the ground.
"Thank you Itachi!" I said, a smile spreading across my face, as I yanked the swords out of the tree. Leaving 2 gaping holes in it, I turned to give Awa/Satake a smile of achievment and she returned it before giving me a pleading glance that screamed, 'Get me away from him please, Now!' I returned it with a simple nod, and walked away, as soon as I was out of their site, I turned and used my kekki-genki whispering,
"elemental tiger:wind ." I raced through the forest, my tiger-like wind body was smoothly gliding with the wind, around the training Uchihas, and stood in a tree behind them. in front of me stood Itachi with an emotionless glare on his face, as he watched Awa/Satake show some of her sharingan tricks, as soon as he turned his head to tell her to try something else, I sprinted at him, sinking my wind-cutting fangs into his arm, and getting a face full of smoke and a taste of blood. feeling successful, I cut off my jutsu, and grinned, now appearing in my half-form. My tiger ears twitching, and my striped-tail held up in acheivement, the normal three red stripes on my face were now skinnier and more whisker like, while my red-hair now lay on my shoulders instead of the usual two ponytails. My outfit was also different, still having my black glove on my right hand but now without being fingerless, my left arm, now covered in my metal, scaled arm-guard covering the bandages that spiraled up my arm. My normal grey jacket, now had black stripes running up and down the side. Itachi, who had used a clone substitution at the last minute, after my teeth had already sunk in; was now standing in front of me, blood dripping down his arm, as he glared at me. I averted my glare to my feet, before he looked directly at me, dodging his sharingan.
"Got you!" I yelled at him, as I turned to face Awa,"Finally! that took a while!I finally injured the "great Uchiha"! " I gleamed as Awa gave me a thankful glare,
"It didn't take that long, Tora! Besides, he isn't "great" at all.. he's a terrible cousin..." she growled glancing at Itachi, before turning to sprint back to base," Besides, Sasuke and Itachi are nothing to me!"
"Bye Itachi!" I yelled, before a shurinken came hurtling at me, not expecting an actual reaction, I lifted my left arm, and barely blocked it with my arm-guard. "Oh look, a real reaction!" I said, mocking him," Do you actually care for your clan now? A little late isn't it?" I made my evil-smile, as I grabbed both my swords, and twirled them in my hands, not meeting his red-eyes. Now he threw numerous kunais and shurinken at me, and I blocked all of them knocking them to the ground. I then felt a sharp-metal press against my neck and a cold voice say,
"You dare talk to me like that again, and I will not hesitate to kill you, orders or not." the monotoned voice rose in warning, releasing me before, stalking off towards the base.
"It's just the truth..." I mumbled when he was out of site,"I'd like to see him try." Though, I probably ruined my chances of surviving a life or death battle, when I showed him my chakra types and part of my kekki-genki.
