Howling Wolf

By Shadow Itachi SU

Chapter 2

Howling Wind

S I/N (SIN): Yet, another chapter to Howling wolf.

Sic- Leo was having a normal day, of no rest at all. Then two men came to her, then another set of men interrupted her conversation with the first two. She then realizes that these two men, that had the nerve of barging into her life, and ruining her plans on becoming an ANBU, and the other two, helping the first two along, by turning her into a cat, trying to steal her away.

And now, a mission has been sent to her, what does she do after wards? First track down the second set of ninjas? Or take down the first two organization? It depends on what mission she gets first. Plus, she still have a dept to pay to the wolf her father had left her with.

SI/N: Okay, I have a Sic figured out for this story! Sic, Summery, and Plot, pretty much means the same in case you were all wondering^^ It's mass update for me, all my stories that I'm working on get's updated, might take a bit^^

Feeling very refreshed after that day long sleep, she was out in missions in no time at all, her first one, was to track down those two ninja's, hopefully their scents were still there. She called for, Skit, her best tracker, and told him to look for the Mist ninja that they had encountered two days ago. Doing the proper hand signs for her jutsu, she turned into a wolf, and started sniffing the ground. 'That, Kohona ninja should be around here somewhere..' she thought and caught the scent, 'odd, doesn't smell like a Kohona nin..' she thought and started following the scent.

She tracked the scent for about three miles, and it was going further and further away from Kohonagakure, nearing Iwagakure.

"How odd," she said and started going back to Kohona, hoping that, Skit picked up on the Mist ninjas scent. She heard a howl, she knew it was Skit, for it sounded young, she listened on, hoping that he would howl again. 'Better get Renmaru on his tail,' she thought and gave a howl for Renmaru to follow Skit. She waited for the reply howl, but it hasn't come, 'Odd,' she thought and figured that she would give Rose a try, hoping that she would have enough brains to answer.

Five minutes of waiting, and no answer from either of the three wolves, 'This is bad...' she thought and thought quickly on moving her position to a different location.

She found herself in a tree, about three miles near Kohona, and from where she was last, watching a conversation between two men, the mist nin, and the Kohona nin.

"I was sure that she said she would be out here yesterday," the mist nin spoke up.

"Well, maybe your information was wrong," the Kohona nin growled, in annoyance.

The mist apologized, bowing his head low, "it won't happen again."

"It better not," the other said, growling lowly, "if you see her again, throw this on her, and don't miss."

"Hai!" the Mist nin spoke, and took the package from this man, then the Kohona left.

"I must do this," he spoke to himself, "but, Leo is the most respected ninja around here, I can't do this to her."

"Oh, but you mus-t, your life is- on the line," someone else said, it was more like a hiss.

"She is a skilled medical ninja, she must not be harmed," he sounded uncertain.

"Child," the other voice said, she wished she knew where it was coming from, "sometimes- in life, you have to make difficult dec-is-ions-."

"Yes, but, hurting Suzume Leo like this, it's unheard of!"

"If you want to ris-e in life, then do what you have to," with that last word from the mysterious person, the mist nin got up to leave, to head back towards Kohona. This is bad, she thought and rushed back to her home town. Using all her strength in her legs to carry her back.

Sin~

She arrived back to her post, and tried to relax, she was shaking from running, and fear. She hated the unexpected things, it scared her at times.

'Child,' a voice growled, she quickly looked around, not seeing anything, she decided to expand her chakra.

There.

A dog, it started to walk out, as it moved she moved her chakra with it, anticipating its next move.

'Don't be afraid,' the dog said, its black pelt shimmering silver in the sunlight, 'I'm here to tell you about the loan you now have with the demon.'

"Go on," she said listening to the black dog.

'There is a quicker way of getting it,' the dog said, 'that is to join the Akatsuki.'

"I can't do that!"

'It's the only way you can have the demon under your control!' the dog barked at her, growling.

"I won't do it! I just want the dog off my back!" she barked back at the dog.

'Keep it in mind then, you never know,' the dog said and started walking back the way it came.

She stayed in her post for a while longer, trying to calm her nerves a little more before going back to her home.

Once calm enough she started her way back, now thinking of what that conversation was about, was it about her?

Maybe, but she needed more information on it first, she remembers that mist nin, and that leaf nin, but they didn't belong to their home village.

She gasped, suddenly realizing who they were.

"Sound," she whispered and started to run back to the village hidden in the leaves. Each second ticking by, feeling like hours, everything seems to stand still as she ran.

Sin~

She arrived back and made a quick check, seeing no mist nin, or that leaf nin or, should it be Sound now. It didn't matter, as long as they are not here.

She ran to the tower, and stopped for a moment, there were her wolves, on top of the monument. The three gave a howl, and she understood them, they ran back to the village when they scent danger and knew that she would take care of herself on trying to fend off this danger that caused her wolves to run.

She gave a sharp whistle then started her way on to the tower, giving her report to the Kage.

"I know who those two ninjas were," she watched him nod silently telling her to continue, "they are sound nin's."

"Sound? But how?"

"I don't know, but I heard them talking, I didn't quite catch the beginning of the conversation, but it seems that they are planning something."

"What do you think they could be planing, Leo?"

"I'm not sure yet, but it seems like the want to put some sort of seal on someone," she stated, "possibly me."

"You?"

"Yes, I didn't get a chance to track down those two ninjas that I dropped in Suna."

"You can get to that later, right now, I will send you a mission," he said, straightening up.

"Yes?" she asked, noticing that a solemn air started to surround him.

"I want you to keep track of those two sound ninjas, you can worry about the Suna ones later, right now this is more important."

"Alright, but my wolves, they are not ready to be out with me yet," she said, "I want more time to train them more properly, so they will be mission ready."

"Granted, but you have a week to get them ready."

"Understood."

"Dismissed."

Sin~

She walked the streets, deep in thought, running the whole Sound nin conversation.

"I was sure that she said she would be out here yesterday," the mist nin spoke up.

"Well, maybe your information was wrong," the Kohona nin growled, in annoyance.

The mist apologized, bowing his head low, "it won't happen again."

"It better not," the other said, growling lowly, "if you see her again, throw this on her, and don't miss."

"Hai!" the Mist nin spoke, and took the package from this man, then the Kohona left.

"What was that package?" she said to herself, stopping her small stroll. 'If you see her again, throw this on her and don't miss.'

"What does that leaf mean?" she wondered.

"Hey!" someone yelled suddenly she found herself on the ground face down, "Leo!" the voice said, sounding very excited.

"Naruto, get off of her!" a female voice sounded.

"Oh, sorry," the weight on her back was lifted off, and she got up.

"Leo, please meeting you here," the female spoke up, Leo turned around and looked at the two children. She seen the female with pink hair, and the boy with blonde hair.

"Indeed, Sakura, wasn't it?" she asked the female.

"Yes," the pink haired girl said giving a slight bow.

"Usually you're out on missions, do you have the day off?" the blonde asked, she guessed this was Naruto.

"Ah, no," Leo said smiling, "I'm getting ready to leave soon, to do some training on my wolves, and get started on some missions."

"Wow! You have wolves?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Un, they are not well trained, but I'm working on it."

"With you as their trainer they will be ready in at least a day," Sakura smiled.

"Hai, but even training them takes some time," she smiled at the two, "I should be going now, a long day ahead of me," she said and waved to them walking back to her home.

Sin~

"So, I have a mission to keep track of these two ninjas, and I need your help."

"Yes you do, child."

"Can you help me?"

"Of course."

"Pickles say hi."

"Indeed."

"Your not wearing pants."

"No I am not."

"What does Yagmai say backwards?"

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

"I need help, can you help me? Pickles say hi, your not wearing pants, and what does Yagmai say backwards?"

"Uh..."

"Answer the last one."

"Yagmai? Iamgay?"

"Then why are you reading that book?"

"Uh... I walked into that one didn't I?"

"Yes you did, now can you help me?"

"Yes, what do you need help with?"

"Help train my wolves, they have to be mission ready by the end of this week."

"Of course I'll help you, but first answer me this," the silver haired man said, going back to his reading of a certain orange book.

"Fine."

"Does the pickle really say hi?"

"Yeah, it's to shy to talk to you."

"...Why is this conversation weird?"

"You won't put the damn book down."

"Sh."

"But-"

"Sh."

"Wha-"

"Sh."

She gave him a blank look, seeing him high in the tree reading that damn book. She did a few hand signs, knowing that she had enough chakra to do this simple jutsu.

"Kakashi," she growled deeply, seeing him eye level, "If you don't put that book down, I will feed you to.."

"I'll help! But right now I'm keeping this leaf company."

"You do that, but if your late for tomorrows training session, I'll get my wolves to hunt you down," she said, her ears folded back, growling lowly to the copy nin. She watched him nod, and gone back to reading, "Also, I'll burn that book," she said her size reducing, to a small normal sized wolf. She started to bound back to her home, knowing that her wolves will stay on the monument for a while longer, keeping watch of the village.

SI/N: I'm so evil! Muhaha! That black dog was just thrown in there, I was in the mood, and that came out!
