The Path A Ninja Walks...
Chapter Twelve
Teamwork Makes the Team,Work!
A/N: WARNING-The character known as Sage Amesawa uses a lot of profanity and colorful language as part of his "colorful" personality. Be prepared if you are sensitive to that. Please note it is not because I condone such manner of speech, and also the character does not mean to use it as a way to be harmful, it is just his personality.
"Dammit Working with you is impossible!" Kankuro huffed as he wound up twisted into his own wiring while he and Sage were trying to set traps in the area. They each took a side and wound up weaving into eachother's lay out.
"You know I'm really sick of your attitude!" Hana huffed.
"I haven't said anything I merely explained how this could be improved-" Saseme tried to argue against her with a level head. Hana was always quick to shoot her mouth, and spew poison needles with her words. Kokoua sighed as she tried to knock some sense into her unit meanwhile Gaara stepped in and said his piece-
"Saseme!" he snipped.
That sharp hiss alone was enough to freeze her in place, and his older siblings were no less worried over it. They gulped as they watched him carefully, as though he would snap in an instant..."...Your friends are annoying...shut them up...before I handle it."
"What was that you Desert brat!?" Hana snapped.
"You take that back!" Kankuro snapped back.
"You've no right to talk to our little brother like that- we'll finish you right here!" said Temari.
"...Little Girl..." Gaara hissed as he shot a glare at Hana that shot chills through her.
This guy...
Hana thought to herself between her shivers.
...Such murderous intent...
Kokoua thought to herself as she prepared to difuse a fight if one broke through.
"...You wanna take me on?"
Hana gulped. She could feel the panic bubble within her gut.
This...is no ordinary challenge...is it?
Hana blinked.
This...is blood lust...literal blood lust...!
She gulped.
"No one's fighting anyone!" Said Saseme as she stood between them. Kankuro, the brother, shot a look at her as though she had a death wish, and looked ready to buy time for her if it got... bloody.
"Saseme is right." said Kokoua,"These are our clients...and we were hired to help them, not fight them." she stated and settled her gaze on the young Uchiha who somehow managed a cool head beneath this young desert ninja's blood thirsty gaze...
"Saseme...why don't you take the lead." she said to her.
"What!?" Hana snapped,"Why does she get to lead!? Aren't you the Jounin!?"
"I will still be in command of our unit." Kokoua said firmly,"But Saseme has pre-esixting experience working with this particular client." she blinked,"In this situation, she is better suited than I am."
That...and...
The sensei narrowed her gaze and gave a subtle glance to the suspicious group of sand ninja. Holding an especially heavy gaze over the brunette with the gourd. She felt un easy about him...
Even she could sense his blood lust...
Yet...he seemed to have no interest in harming Saseme, who they seemed to see as their comrade.
That alone is suspicious enough...
Just how close was their comradary?
I think the safest choice is to leave things up to Saseme from here...
She thought to herself.
The quicker we can get through this...the quicker we can head back home and forget all about it...
More so...get as far away from him as we can.
She folded her arms and rested on her Uchiha student.
"So Saseme...what should we do?"
"...Right..." Saseme heaved a heavy sigh and glanced over at Kankuro,"...Do you...still have it?"
"Huh?" Kankuro blinked..."That? Yeah- for sure." he stated,"I was thinking you were probably gonna want this back soon." he grinned and handed over a large black scroll that he had been carrying around on his back. He seemed to have kept it close...he must have had a hunch that Saseme would be the one assigned to this mission...
Everything is going according to plan so far...
He thought to himself.
Slow and steady now...
"So...uhm." Sage blinked,"What the hell is that anyway?"
"...KuroKunai..." Kankuro smirked.
"Kuro what?" Hana asked.
Suddenly a poffing explosion sounded and a cloud of smoke surrounded them, startling them all. Within the mist there was a shadow, Saseme's shadow, as her body moved, swinging around something massive above her head. The rush of the whirring wind in their ears pretty much settled that whatever it was, was being swung in a circle high above her head when suddenly the metalic shink of a blade being stabbed forcefully downward sounded and Saseme stood with her hand over the handle of a massive, pitch black Kunai.
"Now..." Saseme stated,"Let's get down to bussiness to clear this mission." she blinked,"We didn't send them children when they hired ninja...did we?"
Her fellow genin gulped. Startled by her sudden change in temperment which interestingly enough caught Kokoua's intrigue.
"As we are now, we are a stumbling clashing mess but I assure you by the end of this exercise...we will be the best of friends~" She said this sarcasticly, red sharingan eyes leering on Hana stating the seriousness of her position,"You can bet that by the time we are through...you will have learned how to work in a group."
