It seemed, at first, that death had come over me. Everything was dark. I could still feel my right shoulder blade aching, a bullet hole which allowed blood to flow freely. The machine was never completed, but it was my best chance to escape. I had never thought that I would be double crossed, nor did I think that I could get away with what I had stolen. I had only received my last "strengthening shot" the week before. I only wished that I would be able to survive.

It would seem that a blinding light came over me as I finally woke up. I was alive, and lying on soil. I could see towering trees surrounding me.

"Kuchiyose: Kirikiri Mai," a voice shouted out in the distance.

"F***k!" I screamed out loud. The reason was obvious, there were trees falling all over the place. A tree quickly came baring down upon me. I took in a deep breath as the tree started closing in on my head. "BREAK!" I ordered the tree, slamming my fist against the trunk of it. The tree was five times my height and half the width, making me wonder how it fell. As I side note, I am not by any means short, I would place myself at around 5'8. I'd say that's pretty good, considering that I'm only 14. Which also brings up an important question: how'd that tree fall?

"AH!" a shrill cry came from somewhere within the forest. It sounded like someone was hurt. I checked my pockets and found the reassuring feeling of metal, then checked my coat pockets for my knife. After making sure that both were there, I set out to find the source of the voice. I started sprinting along the forest floor, gathering speed as I went. The greenery around me was unseen in my old country. I paused a moment as I looked at the wreckage before me. Several trees were on top of a red haired girl. Something of this caliber was unheard of. I did not even hear an explosion. In addition, the logs seemed to be cut by a sword. The base of the logs were way too smooth. I walked over to the girl, putting my fingers on her neck.

"Good things she's still alive," I threw the logs off of her lower body. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, I threw her over my right shoulder. I heard sounds from above me, noticing several figures clad in green.

"Please hand her to me."

'I didn't even notice him…' I thought. "Are you her accomplice?"

"No."

"Then I'll have to refuse."

"Please, I would rather not hurt you," the figure waved his hand. Three more dropped down from the trees.

"No way."

"Very well, have it 'your way'," the figure threw something at me. I jumped to the left quickly. I pulled out my Beretta PX4 Storm, aiming it at his head.

"What is that?" Another one of the figures asked.

"Something that can shoot a piece of metal faster than your eye can blink," I replied.

"He's bluffing! Katon: Endan" three shots of fire came towards me. It originated from…HIS MOUTH?! I ducked under as the three shots went past my head.

"What do you guys put in your mouth?!" They seemed to be confused from that comment.

"Suiton…"

"Nope," I quickly pulled the trigger. The boy speaking collapsed onto the floor, a bullet embedded in his skull.

"Raiton…"

"Nope."

"Fu…"

"Nope."

"Doton…"

"Die," all of them laid dead on the forest floor. "Why do these idiots always announce their attacks?" I shook my head briefly. "Now what do I do about the bodies?"

"You awake?" A man wearing a gray coat asked.

"…" The red hair girl only stared at him. She could tell that they were in a cave.

"What's your name?"

"…"

"Mine is Enrik Liu."

"Tayuya," Tayuya said.

"Nice to meet you Tayuya. Now, I have a couple of questions for you."

"I'll tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me something."

"Yes?" Enrik asked.

"You have to help me get my hands on that f**ktard Orochimaru."

"He is…Who?"

"A legendary Sannin!" Tayuya exclaimed.

"Um…I might need more explaining."

In summarization, Enrik had learned the watered down version about everything in the shinobi world. In turn, Enrik told Tayuya of his world. Of course, this took half a day.

"So…People in this world can spit fire out of their mouths, make giant walls in less than five seconds, and defy the laws of physics?"

"Basically. What's physics?" Tayuya asked.

"Nothing important. I think."

"People in your world can fly in metal birds, strengthen their bodies using 'technology', and fight using this 'technology' you speak of?"

"Yes."

"Now, can you tell me why you saved me?"

"Because you're cute," Enrik replied.

"You…" Tayuya couldn't help but blush. In her days under Orochimaru's "care", she had rarely received any praise at all. There was an awkward silence in the air. Which was quickly disturbed.

"STEP OUT FROM THE TREE! You are surrounded!" A voice called out.

"Stay here," Enrik said.

"But…"

"Trust me, I've got a gun." With that, Enrik stepped outside.

"Drop your weapons. Where's your accomplice?"

"Rule one of the Gun Man's Codex, precision is important."

"Huh?" The man who said this quickly had a gaping hole in his skull.

"Prepare your attacks!" One of the men yelled.

"Suiton…" One said.

"Katon…" Another yelled.

"Rule two of the codex, two guns are always better than one." Enrik pulled out another gun from under his coat. The two who were speaking had their lives end in a split second.

"Die!" The last man yelled, moving at a speed too fast for the eye to keep up with.

"Last rule of the codex. Quantity makes up for quality," Enrik shot several shots in the general direction of the shinobi. A couple landed effectively slowing the shinobi down. "Night!" He said, as he aimed the trigger at the shinobi's head. "This day has been going way too fast. Better slow it down." (For the next chapter at least. I felt too lazy to slow down the introduction.)
