Uchiha Heiress Remix Chapter 46, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 46: Go Tea Racer! Meeting the Beast of Chaos!

On the road from Konoha to the Land of Tea. . .

It had been a couple of hours since Team Seven and Team Nine left the village as they were walking together and talking to each other. However Satsuki was too busy polishing and admiring her new shield as a giggle escaped her lips every once and awhile.

This got Naruto to also look at the new shield on the Uchiha with an impressed expression on his face. "You really like that new shield, huh?" He started with an amused chuckle.

After Satsuki had shown it to both the blond and the bluenette of Team Seven, other then when the shield needed it's mandatory maintenance from Tenten, now like her tantō, the girl had never stopped wearing it for even a single day save for cuddling up with her teammates as they slept in the same bed.

The Uchiha then gave the shield a loving look as she gently caress it. "Well even if its pretty cool, it still. . .you know. . .in essence still your gift Naru-kun. . ." She replied with a loving smile on her face.

Naruto then looked up at the Uchiha with wide eyes for a moment before relaxing them. "Oh! That's right, Tenten used the remains of the shield I gave you to make this one, huh?" He got out as he recalled that part.

"I'm really happy for you Satsuki-chan." Hinata commented with a smiled on her face.

Satsuki happily nodded in response to that. "I'm just glad that, in essence, I still have one of the gifts you gave us Naru-kun. . ." She admitted with a pink blush.

Naruto then went and gave a peck the Uchiha on the cheek. "I just wanna make my girls happy dattebayo!" He declared.

The two girls of Team Seven merely giggled in response to that as they continued walking.

Tenten meanwhile giggled awkwardly as she looked at the Uchiha. "Well at least she like the shield. Truthfully I was afraid she didn't like the design, I thought it would had looked nice with the flame pattern and the lightning engravings on it." She embarrassedly admitted.

"Oh! I really do like the design, it's just I was worried at first because of it looking a bit fragile is all." Satsuki admitted as she looked at the shield once more while remembering when she first got it. "But its ability more than makes up for it." She then added with a large smile.

"Now that is a youthful attitude I want to hear from a fellow Konoha Shinobi!" Lee declared with a proud tone.

"Lee. . .let's focus on our tasked in hand. . ." Neji simply stated as he kept walked.

Kin meanwhile nodded in agreement. "Neji-san's right Lee-kun." She responded. "We all have a mission to complete." She then reminded.

"HAI!" Was the ever excited reply from the quickly excited boy.

Neji and Tenten let out a sight in semi unison fashion to that.

Satsuki however looked on at the interaction between the green spandex wearer and the former, now boushing Oto shinobi before looking at the blacksmith's daughter. "Hey Tenten-chan, are those two. . .?" She asked but trailed off.

Tenten in response giggled to that. "Yeah, Kin is totally into Lee and easily gets flustered when his does anything even remotely romantic or simly touches her, but Lee's completely dense about it." She replied in a whisper as she then let out a sigh. "I bet my entire collection of weapons that he won't realize it for a few years. . ." She then added.

"Well. . .who knows, when it happens, it will be Lee's turn to be flustered while running hundreds of miles around Konoha in shame." Satsuki joked with a giggle.

Tenten instantly let out a groan of annoyance. "And that's something he would totally do if something like that really does happens. . ." She admitted in shame.

The group continued to walk and chat as they did for about half an hour until. . .

"Wait." Neji suddenly ordered as he raised a hand in the motion to stop.

"What's up?" Naruto asked as he looked around and tried to sense anything. "Enemies?" He then asked.

Instead of replying, Neji walked to the side of the road as he crouched down and pulled out something.

"What did you find Neji?" Tenten asked with curiosity.

Neji then straighten himself as he turn around and showed what he found.

"A senbon?" Hinata simply stated.

"Yes. I believe its from the rouge that attacked the messengers." Neji answered her cousins question.

"So this was the place of the unyouthful ambushed?" Lee asked as he tighten his fist.

"Most likely." Neji simply replied as he placed the senbon away in his shinobi pouch. "Alright then, we should separate from here and go about our respective missions." He then suggested.

Naruto simply nodded as he turned towards the road that head to the Land of Tea. "Ok, I guess if things do go south, we mostly likely see each other if he's really working with the opposing side." He stated.

Everyone nodded as the two groups divided themselves into their respected groups. With that, the two teams when their separate ways to accomplish their respected mission.

On the road to the border between the Land of Fire and Earth. . .

The two members of the Viper Squad and Kurama were casually walking along the path to the border between Fire and Earth.

The human transformed Tailed Beast yawned as he stretched his limbs. "Ah, fresh air and the great outdoors." He sighed out in relief, before his mood dropped when he recalled an important fact. "Too bad the real me is still trap in the seal. . ." He then grumbled in annoyance.

Yami meanwhile looked at the red haired man with a raised eyebrow. "I'm guessing you really don't get out that much?" She started.

"You have no idea. . ." Kurama replied with a deadpan tone. "Not to mention that the only time that I do get out is when I have to babysit the ungrateful gakis. . ." He then added.

The snake mistress let out an amused chuckle to that. "Well your out for now." Anko then reminded with a grin.

"I guess. . .but then again, I still have to go back babysitting the brats once this is little vacation is done. . ." Kurama stated still annoyed.

"Naruto-sensei, Hinata-chan and Satsuki-chan can't be that bad can they?" Yami then questioned. "I mean Sensei is an amazing swordsmen and I wish to reach his level someday." She then added with admiration in her tone.

Both Kurama and Anko sweatdropped in unison. "Doesn't she realized that she's more talented than him?" Both of them thought in unison as they now realized that the girl had somehow placed the blond in a higher pedestal than she should had.

". . .Your not crushing on the kit are ya?" Kurama then deadpanned his question. "I mean those girls are pretty territorial ya know." He then reminded.

Yami immediately glared at the Bijū to that remark. "Of course not, I have nothing but utmost respect for him as a superior swordsman and as a splendid sensei." She replied with anger at the mere notion.

Kurama merely rolled his eyes to that. "Ok. . .don't know if that's more worrisome. . ." He commented as he was once again reminded of the kit's ranking inside of the girl's mind.

"Yep. . ." Was all Anko had to say as she was feeling the same way as her boyfriend.

Yami then went and pointed her finger in front of her. "Anko-sensei, I see a town coming up." She advised.

This made the leader of Team Viper's attention as she placed her hand on top of her eyes and looked at where the girl was pointing. "That must be the merchants village." Anko simply commented.

Kurama nodded to that as the three continued to walk. "Right, we'll got and get a bite to eat while we rest, then we'll gather any information on this beast thief." He stated. "There's still something strange about this. . .but I can't put my finger on it. . ." He meanwhile thought.

Soon enough, the group made into the town as they headed for a nearby pub.

"Three orders of dumplings!" Anko immediately ordered.

"A bottle of milk please. . ." Yami simply ordered as she wasn't that hungry

"Seriously? Neko much?" Kurama thought to herself with a deadpan tone.

"So imouto-chan was right, your really a nekojita huh?" Anko joked out with a smirk.

Yami only narrow her eyes at the comment. "Yes, I am a nekojita, I can't handle hot food like ramen." She then stated.

Anko just giggled as she got her to admit it. "Good to know." She simply commented with a teasing tone.

"Meh, Matatabi's the same." Kurama thought to himself in an annoying tone. "Though that's cause she's the Two Tailed Cat and all." He then added.

Soon enough, Yami's glass of milk came as she started to drink it.

"So," Anko then started with a teasing grin on her face. "How big do you want your breasts to be?" She then questioned.

Yami, instead of spitting out her milk like the purple haired jonin wanted, she continued to calmly drank it as she then gently placed the glass on the table. "Truthfully, I do not care it they grow or not, as it may hinder my movement with my sword. However, whether or not it does happens, I will simply have to adjust to it." She calmly replied.

"Tsk. . ." Anko got out as her attempt of a prank didn't worked.

"Well then," Kurama started as he blinked a couple of times to that. "That's the first time I didn't see the usual expected reaction from this types of occasions." He then stated.

Yami then looked at the two as she closed her eyes and took her glass again. "Well with what I've been though, I'm not exactly like other girls." She then reminded.

This time Anko gave the girl a sympathetic expression. "Yeah. . .I can relate. . ." She simply commented.

Yami however gave a confused expression at the comment not understanding the meaning.

Kurama could only let out a sighed to that. "Her ex-sensei used to be that pedophile Orochimaru." He answered the unspoken question.

To hearing that, Yami was slightly startled by this information as she became wide eyed. "I-I see. . .even in Snow, his sick and twisted crimes were known by everyone in the resistance." She revealed.

"More like everyone in the world. . ." Anko then remarked as she narrowed her eyes before she took a deep breath. "Ah! Let's just dropped the depression talk." She then added as she returned to her normal carefree tone. "So what's your deal with you and Ice Boy, why do you have grudge against him?" She asked with a shit eating grin on her face as she already knew the reason.

Yami's eyes turn into absolute annoyance and anger to that. "He is nothing but a pervert acting like a gentlemen. . ." She declared with a bit of hiss in her tone.

"Just because he groped you by accident, huh?" Kurama then remarked while he let out an amused chuckle as he had a front row view when it had happened.

Instantly to that remark, Anko had to cover her mouth from wanting to let out a roaring laughter to hearing that.

". . ." Yami soon pouted with puffed up cheeks as she looked at the disguised fox demon. "I wish to not talk about that subject anymore." She then requested as she took her glass again and began to drink more of her milk.

After the group had their fill with the food and their amusement from the silver/blue haired girl, they separated and began to ask around for what the merchants had heard or experience from the thief that took their supplies.

"Well it never killed or harmed anyone. It always focus on the food so almost no one was ever hurt anyone, other than the occasional push and shove."

"The thief was so fast that I can barely even see an outline of it."

"It's a beast! I saw that had an animal tail and ears!"

"Ears and a tail?" Anko questioned in slight confusion.

"Sometimes I could hear that there were different sounds of growlings."

"I could had sworn that I saw some shadows near it, like it had companions."

"I sometimes see flashes of black, white and red."

That one comment cause Yami's attention as her eyes widen slightly. "Black. . .white. . .red?" She mumbled to herself as two of those colors instantly caught her attention. "No. . .it couldn't be. . ." She then added to herself while shaking her head negatively.

"It keeps taking my cabbages!" One merchant then wailed out with tears running down his eyes.

"I DON'T CARE! GET OFF ME!" Kurama shouted as he tried to pulled off the whining and crying cabbage merchanted off his leg. "Why I get the feeling this is gonna be a long day? Dammit. . ." He meanwhile thought in annoyance.

Back in Konoha. . .

The Sound Three member had stealthily entered Konoha as they searched for the location that their master had given to them.

"This is it? A fucking warehouse?" Tayuya questioned as the looked at the broken structure. "It's a fucking dump." She then added.

Kidōmaru then looked at his teammate as he opened the door. "Are you an idiot Tayuya? What did you expect, a five star hotel with a sign saying here's the traitor?" He remarked with a rude tone of his own. "It's obviously like this so that no one will know that it's to cover for the brat's base." He then stated as he then entered the broken building.

Tayuya in response growled at that. "SHUT UP ASSHOLE!" She roared back in fury as she followed said asshole.

Jirōbō then entered the building himself, then he began looking around and looked to the ground. "Her base in under here." He stated is declared.

"Alright, open a path." Kidōmaru ordered the largest member of their group.

Jirōbō then cracked his knuckles. "Right." He responded as he walked to the center of the room and made a few hand seal, then he placed his hands on the floor and a hole was opened. "There, it should take us straight towards her." He simply stated.

"Good work, now let go." Kidōmaru told him as he was the first to jumped into the hole.

"Took you fuckin' long enough." Tayuya reminded as she too jumped down.

"Language. . ." Jirōbō simply reminded.

"SHUT UP FATASS!" Tayuya's voice echoed from the darkness.

Jirōbō just shook his head as he was the last to jump into the hole.

Inside the hidden ROOT base. . .

"Speak, who the hell are you?" Sakura ordered with narrow eyes with an edgy tone as if she wanted to kill someone as her yellowish-green eyes glowed within the darkness.

"Well ain't this bitch a cocky one." Tayuya voice remarked. "What? Drowned from the Curse Mark's power? Pathetic, if she can handle the power then I say she was a waste of fuckin' time." She then rudely stated.

The green and pink haired girl's eyes narrowed further to that as the madness in her eyes became even more chaotic. "I said answer me." She once more ordered as she began to secretly draw out her tantō.

"We are the Sound Ninja Three, Kidōmaru of the East Gate." The multi armed man started.

"Jirōbō of the South Gate." The large man revealed.

"Che. . .Tayuya of the North Gate." A very annoyed woman begrudgingly answered.

"We were ordered by Orochimaru-sama to move you towards his base." Kidōmaru then declared.

". . ." Sakura didn't respond at first to this as her eyes flashed the yellowish-green color. "I see." She finally responded as she sheathed her blade.

Tayuya meanwhile raised an eyebrow as she looked towards the girl covered in darkness before looking at her teammates. "Oi. . .you notice something. . .off about this bitch?" She questioned in a whisper.

Although annoyed by the girl's choice of words, Jirōbō narrowed his eyes. "Yes. . .I have to agree." He whispered back.

"So what the fuck happened you ya girly?" Tayuya then questioned as she looked into the darkness. "Show your fuckin' face already bitch." She then ordered.

In response, heeled footsteps were heard as a tattered and dirty Sakura stepped out of the darkness. "Happy?" She remarked with narrowed eyes.

"After seeing your ugly forehead? Not really. . ." Tayuya rudely replied.

Sakura's eyes once more flashed slightly as she looked at the other girl. "Bitch, I'll tear you to pieces." She threatened as she then showed her Curse Mark on the back of her right hand.

Tayuya merely smirked to that as she let some of her own Curse Mark go out as rectangular marks started to spread over her body with a red glow. "I like to see you try piggy." She taunted with a cruel tone.

This made all the pent up anger and madness in Sakura's face to distorted, psychotic and murderous at the insult she had always used in the past. "I would like to see you try." She then taunted as her Curse Mark glowed yellowish-green and began to spread across her body in a flame like pattern.

To seeing this Curse Mark spreading, the trio were startled and confused by the color. "The fuck? What's up with your mark?" Tayuya questioned.

"Kidōmaru?" Jirōbō asked his team leader, though he was also confused by the younger girl's mark.

The six armed man simply let out a sigh. "I know what your thinking and I don't know either, we'll just have report it to Orochimaru-sama and since we were all ordered to test her anyways. . ." Kidōmaru simply stated. "Close the entrance you made." He then ordered.

The largest member nodded to that as he did some hand signs as the as the entrance he made closed up. Not too soon after that, the slight shaking of the entrance began to be felt as the raging battle had started.

With Team Seven. . .

After the trio had separated from Team Nine, they had walked for a while until they had reached a small village near the Land of Tea.

"Don't know about you girls but I'm starving. . ." Naruto complained from the lack of food in his belly.

Hinata and Satsuki in response nodded in agreement. "Yes, we haven't eaten since we left the village." Hinata pointed out.

"We better refuel ourselves with some lunch then." Satsuki suggested.

"Cool! Then let's all go to that teahouse for a bite to eat then!" Naruto cheered as he raised his fist with excitement.

Satsuki in turn she also pumped her fist into the air. "Yeah!" She agreed with the same amount of excitement.

Hinata meanwhile giggled to the the two's excitement. "Hai." She replied as the three soon entered a food stand and sat down at one of the tables.

"Welcome." The elderly hostess politely greeted while given each of them a cup of tea.

"I'll ordered a sweet bean soup." Naruto ordered his meal.

"I'll ordered some dangos." Satsuki then ordered.

Hinata merely smiled. "A cinnamon bun please." She kindly requested.

The hostess merely nodded with equal kindness to that. "Very well, please wait for a moment." She asked as she went and prepare their orders.

As the hostess was heading to the kitchen, she passed a young man that was sharpening a wood. "Che, Konoha shinobis. . ." He thought to himself in disdain as she then stood up.

"Man. . ." Naruto then started. "Feels weird not hearing any witty remarks from Ero-fox." He admitted.

"Tell me about, I almost miss the perv. . .almost." Satsuki stated as she placed her hands behind her head in a relaxed manner.

Hinata could only giggle to that in amusement.

Suddenly the young man had stopped next to the trio's table. "Having sweet bean soup and desserts when it's such a nice day? Shinobi profession sure is carefree!" He rudely commented.

"What was that?" Naruto asked with an annoyed tone.

"Are you seriously mocking shinobis?" Satsuki then questioned with narrow eyes.

The young man simply smiled as he had the sharpen wood on his mouth. "Things must really be peaceful in the Konoha. To have such a dense group." He then commented with even more rude manner.

The comment didn't sat well to the young shinobi as they still remembered the horrors that the village had just recovered.

Hinata then suddenly slammed a hand on the table as she looked at the boy. "I do not think it's wise to talk about things you know nothing off and I would request that you leave immediately." She then ordered with a dead serious tone..

Instead of listening, the young man simply smiled at the girls. "Hey now, now that I got a better look at you two, you both real cuties I take back that previous comment!" He quickly said as he didn't sound very honest with his apology.

Hinata and Satsuki's eyes twitched at the boy that insulted their profession. "Is he really trying to flirt with us?" The two thought in semi-unison.

Then the man lean onto the table as he got near the girls. "I'm Idate Morino. What's the name of you two young ladies?" He then introduced himself while asking the names of the girls.

"Hmm?" Hinata hummed out in confusion as she heard the boy's last name. "Morino?" She repeated to herself.

"My first name is Fuck and my last name is You. So get the hell out of here now dattebakon." Satsuki soon demanded. "And also, we're taken already both of us." She then added.

"Oh! Feisty!" The young man commented. "But I don't that this guy is even a match to either of you lovely ladies. How about you two quit being shinobi's and come with me?" He then added as he tried to hit on the girls.

Naruto's eye began to twitch uncontrollably to that comment. "Can I punch this asshole out girls?" He asked the two via mental link.

"Not before I break his arms." Satsuki replied mentally with an edge on her tone.

"Just kidding." Idate suddenly said, regaining the trio's attention. "I hate shinobis! Why not just leave Tea already!" He declared with anger and hatred in his voice.

"Ok! I had enough of you!" Naruto declared as he stood up and began to glared at the boy.

"Same here!" Satsuki declared as she did the same while cracking her knuckles.

"Naruto-kun, Satsuki-chan, please calm down. We're in someone else's establishment and it would be rude if we damaged it." Hinata reminded, although she too was tired of the bou's arrogant tone, she didn't wish to cause problems.

Naruto had stopped glaring as he and Satsuki turned towards Hinata. "But he's the asshole who's looking for trouble when we didn't even so much as said a word to him!" He remarked.

"Yeah!" Satsuki agreed with a nod. "Why should we be nice to that-" Was all she could got out when she turn to look at Idate and she saw that he was nowhere in sight. "The hell!?" She exclaimed in shock.

"I didn't even sense his presence leave. . ." Hinata thought with amazement.

"Ah! Who cares!?" Naruto then shouted. "Forget about that asshole and lets enjoy our food." He stated.

No sooner the blond had said that, the hostess had arrived with everyone's orders. "Here you go, thank you for waiting." She kindly remarked while given the trio their chosen food.

This made the trio let out a sigh of relief.

Then the hostess placed two bills. "Thank you for your patronage." She then said.

"Eh?" Hinata got out in confusion.

"Uh. . .what's up with the second bill dattebakon?" Satsuki then asked as she took a bit of her dangos.

"Oh, that kid who was just here said that you guys would pay." The hostess stated as she left.

Well. . .it was a given that this didn't please the trio in the slightest. . .

". . .MOTHERFUCKER!" Satsuki roared with fury. "HE USED US TO DINE AND DITCH DATTEBAKON!" She then added.

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAD KICKED HIS ASS DATTEBAYO!" Naruto also roared with fury.

Hinata's eye meanwhile twitched as she crumpled up the second bill. "I apologize for even trying to stop you Naruto-kun dattebahi. . ." She calmly stated, but her expression on her face clearly said that she was anything but calm while being filled with cold fury.

"Hinata-chan! Can you find him!?" Naruto then asked as he was ready to strangle the boy the first chance he got.

Not needing to be told twice, the female Hyuga activated her Byakugan and looked for Idate, it took her some effort, but she managed to find him.

"I found him! But he's getting away at incredible speeds!" Hinata commented with a startled tone.

"NO WAY IN HELL WE'LL LET THIS SLIDE!" Satsuki roared as she and Naruto got up and began their chase towards the boy.

Hinata meanwhile bowed to the elderly tea house owner. "We apologize for this." She told the woman as she paid for theirs and begrudgingly the boy's meal too.

"Thank you." The hostess replied with a confused expression on her face. "All the customers today seem to be in such a hurry." She then commented.

At a distance from the teahouse. . .

The trio were running as fast as they could, trying to catch up with Idate.

"I hate to admit it. . .but that asshole has incredible speeds." Satsuki begrudgingly admitted. "He could be half as fast as Lee, but only just." She added.

"Hai, he must have trained very hard to obtain such speeds." Hinata commented.

"GET BACK HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR BALLS FOR FLIRTING WITH MY GIRLS ALONG WITH DINING AND DITCHING DATTEBAYO!" Naruto meanwhile roared in fury.

With that roar, the trio quicken their speed and performed a shuhin to catch up with Idate.

Up ahead. . .

Idate was running at an incredible speeds while scoffing at the trio. "Stupid shinobis! There's no way they can catch up to me!" He bragged with an arrogant tone.

The boy was too busy bragging to notice that a large tree root was in the path he was running until it was too late.

"AH!" Idate shouted as he tipped in the root and fell off the road into the forest.

This made him dropped an object off of his person but all caused him to hang onto a tree.

As Idate was hanging, his large straw hat fell. "Damn it. . .Swift Runner Idate makes a mistake of a lifetime!" He got out embarrassedly as he jumped back to the ground.

"Serves you right asshole!" Naruto declared.

Startled by this, Idate looked up and saw that the blond was on top of a nearby tree and began to take a few step back, only to see the girls were on the tree behind him.

"You have some ball trying to run away from us dattebakon." Satsuki annoyingly stated.

Idate could only grind his teeth in frustration to that and did something the trio didn't expect. . .bow on his knees and his head touched the ground. "I'm sorry!" He suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Was Naruto's only response to that as the girls were also just as confused.

The still kneeling Idate began to slightly trembled on the ground. "I'm sorry. . .I had my wallet stolen and was at a loss, then you guys showed up. So I did that. . ." He practically begged.

Then the trio landed onto the ground as they looked at each other with a confused expression on their faces.

"Uh. . ." Naruto and Satsuki got out in unison.

Hinata meanwhile blinked at the sight. "Umm. . ." She got out.

Suddenly the object that Idate had fallen of him got out of the tree it was stucked to and hit Naruto on the head. "Ow! What the-?" He got out as he looked at the object that had hit him.

At this, Idate raised his head and saw what it was, making him gasp in startlement.

"What's this?" Naruto asked as he bend down and try to picked the object.

Idate narrow his eyes as he quickly snatched the object. "Don't touch it!" He ordered as he he did a frontflip to stand up. He then tossed the object from his right hand to his left and pushed it forward. "This is mine!" He declared with anger.

The then the young boy placed it on his person once more and then bent down so that hi hand reached his leg warmers and untigten them. When they fell, it was shown that he then picked them up.

"On your mark." Idate suddenly counted off.

Hinata paled as she recognized what was on his legs. "Oh no. . ." She got out.

"Get set. . ." Idate continued.

"What?" Naruto and Satsuki asked.

However before the Hyuga could say anything. . .

"GO!" Idate concluded as he dropped his leg warmers, but what surprised the trio was that the moment they hit the ground it created a smoke screen of sand as the ground had shaken a bit.

"They were weights." Hinata finally got to announce.

"Try to catch me now, you idiots!" Idate declared as he was running at ridiculous speeds while already far away from the trio.

"OH COME ON!" Satsuki roared in annoyance at what just happened.

Naruto's eyes twitch as his face was furious. "GET BACK HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR BALLS FOR FLIRTING WITH MY GIRLS ALONG WITH DINING AND DITCHING, AND FOR TRICKING US AGAIN DATTEBAYO!" He roared as he once again began to chase the boy again.

"GET THAT BASTARD!" Satsuki ordered.

The trio began to run as fast as they could while even adding chakra to their feet to try and boost their speeds as much as possible.

However it was clear that this effort was for not as Idate was still running strong and they weren't anywhere near the boy.

"NO WAY!" Satsuki shouted as she couldn't believe it.

"This speed is on Lee-san's level." Hinata commented with a surprised tone.

As if to emphasize this statement, Idate began to ran even faster, leaving the trio already behind.

"Crap! We won't be able to catch him!" Naruto declared with an equally surprised tone.

"DAMMIT DATTEBAKON!" Satsuki exclaimed in annoyance.

By this point, Idate was already miles away from them and the trio were forced to stop and catch their breath.

"Damn it. . .we don't have a chance of catching up now. . ." Satsuki commented in between each breath.

"Man! His so going to get it the next time I see that asshole!" Naruto swore to himself with an annoyed tone.

An equally annoyed Hinata nodded. "I. . .agree. . .Naruto-kun. . ." She agreed in between her panting.

Back with the Viper Squad and Kurama a half an hour later. . .

The group had gathered back at the pub they had eaten at to get themselves dinner and discuss their findings.

"Alright, what information do we have?" Anko then questioned while a plate with a couple of dangos.

"Well other than having to deal with whiny merchants about their cabbages. . ." Kurama began with an annoying tone. "The people I talked to all said that this beast thief really never hurt anyone." He then answered as he began eating the steak that was in front of him.

Anko let out a sigh as she nodded in response to that. "Same here, some of the people mentioned this thief having a tail and animal ear, so that should explain where the beast thing comes from." She then stated.

". . ." Yami meanwhile was silent as she looked at her takoyaki with a distracted and distant expression.

"Yo! Snowflake! Anyone home in there?" Anko called out.

"Huh?" Yami got out as she got out of her trance.

"Your distracted. Kurama stated with narrow eyes.

Yami in turn apologized to that. "I apologize, the information I managed to find that was new was that some merchants had seen strange flashes of light that at times were red, white and black a few moments before the thief attacked." She reported her findings.

Kurama raised an eyebrow to that. "Red, white and black?" He questioned.

"Maybe a ninjutsu?" Anko guessed.

"Probably." Kurama simply stated.

Yami then took a thinking pose. "The one information that all of the merchant had in common were that the thief was incredibly fast and that it used that speed to confused and still the food before they even realized what had happened." She stated the common facts. "So if those flashes were the result of a ninjutsu, it must be something that either boost the thief speed." She then theorised.

Then the young swordswoman mind began to wander. As flashes of red and black and memories of the past began to appeared in her mind.

"Keep getting stronger. . ." A mature and feminine voice echoed.

Yami's face briefly widen as she was able to finally remembered that long forgotten memory. "However that doesn't explain why those colors." She then added more so to herself than the group.

"Hmm. . ." Anko hummed out.

Kurama however saw through that the silver/blue haired girl possibly thinking about something else. "What happened?" He bluntly questioned.

"Huh?" Yami simply got out as she didn't understood the question.

"Your mind. . ." Kurama started. "It's wandering, thinking about something else entirely different at the moment." He stated with a serious tone.

"Huh? What are you talking about about Kyū-kun, Snowflake's being the same as always." Anko stated her piece.

Kurama however shook his head to that. "Nope, ever since we got here, the girl's been acting just like the kit when his lost in his mind. Not the safest or the sanest place to be, trust me I been there for twelve years." He then joked.

To hearing that, Anko then looked over to her squad member and indeed saw that she was distracted with something. "Alright Snowflake, even I can tell that something is up, so spit it out already." She ordered.

Yami sighed slightly as she looked at the two that read her like an open book. "It's nothing really, when the merchant said that he saw flashes of colors and then thief attacking at incredible speeds, it made me remembered something I had forgotten long ago." She revealed.

"Really now." Anko responded with an intrigued tone.

"Any details" Kurama meanwhile questioned.

Yami then lowered her head as her eyes were covered by the shadows of her hair. ". . .The Masked Blood Blades Woman. . ." She finally responded.

"Huh?" Both Anko and Kurama got out in confusion.

"It's. . .it's a name I gave. . .to this amazing swordswoman I saw. . .one that saved me before I joined Dotō. No, infact it happen just after Ryo-otousan ordered us to escaped." Yami then revealed as the vague memories of the past were now crystal clear.

Flashback no jutsu. . .

As Yami was still unconscious, the Resistance group members that were fleeing to safety were running as fast as they could, however what they didn't expect was an ambush.

Right in front of them were a group of fifty Snow shinobi. "Looks like Nadare was right, they would try to escape from this direction." One of the Snow shinobi stated.

"Damn it!" One of the male Resistance members cursed as they were completely outnumbered.

"They're gonna catch us at this rate!" A female Resistance member exclaimed as

Afterwards, the Snow Shinobi attacked the Resistance, they had fought as best as they could, however they shinobi's were just too many and to strong for simply swordmen like them.

Many of the resistance were left on the ground, many were unconscious or injured with only a few already dead.

The previously female resistance member panted from the fight as she then turned to look at the unconscious Yami in her arms. "I have to at least save her! I will never forgive myself if I let Ryo-dono's adopted daughter die here!" She declared in her mind with resolve as she was willing to die if it meant Yami's survival.

WHOOSH!

One Residence member looked forward as his eyes widen when he saw the object. "Damn! PAPER BOMB!" He exclaimed his warning.

BOOOOOM!

The explosion was strong enough to pushed all of the still conscious Resistance to the group and fell unconscious.

As the young Yami rolled on the snowy ground, she slowly struggled to open her eyes as they slowly did. "Mmm. . .?" She got out in a half awake, half asleep tone.

"Haha, finally got these fuckers." A cocky voice declared as it revealed to be a Snow Shinobi.

"Damn. . .looks like a lot of them are still survived, they're like cockroaches that just won't die." Another Snow shinobi complained.

the leader of the the ambush walked forward as he was right next to downed Yami. "Just kill them, you know Nadare's orders, not one is to survive." He ordered as he began to draw out his kunai.

"Yes sir!" The other Snow Shinobis replied as they prepared to do the same.

Just as the Snow shinobi began to take out their blades and slowly began to marched at the Resistances members that were still alive. . .

VRN!

Suddenly, a strange red and black sphere like energy appeared at the side of both the Resistance and the Snow Shinobi.

The barely conscious young Yami looked at this with confusion. ". . .Eh?" She got out.

"The hell?" A Snow Shinobi questioned.

"A jutsu? The Resistance shouldn't even have any shinobis!" The ambush squad leader declared.

Then a leg came out of the sphere, which soon followed by hand, then the head and finally by the rest of the body.

What came out of the sphere was a strange yet very intimidating looking white masked warrior. By their body, it was easily shown that it was a female.

Her attire that she was clad in was mainly red and black. The shallow cut shirt her had was the black with some red while there was some more red on her girdle-belt and she also had long black boats with red splatter pattern. Around her neck seemed to be a couple of necklaces and to her right side appeared to be an object made of black feathers .

Her hair was long, spiky and black, she wore black gloves on top of crimson colored gauntlets and on her left side of her waist she had what looked like an oversized swords head which signified that she was at the very least a swordswoman.

However it was her white mask that had red markings that was the most intimidating aspect, it was as if it had two pairs of red eyes, glowing with pure intensity and power as she looked at the scene before her.

The Snow Shinobi were left confused by this sudden appearance, however they just as quickly recovered.

"Who are you!?" One of the Snow Shinobi asked

"Are you with the Resistance!? Speak!" The leader demanded.

The female swordswoman however didn't even reply as she looked around as if trying to get a barrings of the area she was located in. Then she looked towards the fallen Resistance members, she easily saw that most were still alive, but were simply unconscious.

"ANSWER US!" The Snow Shinobi ordered.

The Leader however just scuffed to the lack of response. "It doesn't manner, just killed her along with the Resistance!" He then ordered the shinobi as he raised his kunai and was ready to strike down the helpless Yami.

Suddenly before anyone could even blinked, the swordswoman dashed forwards and headed for the leader while drawing out her blade.

SLICE!

The leader had back dashed as fast as he could trying to avoid the sudden attack from a black colored blade. "You think a stupid samurai can beat-" Was all he got to say.

PLOP!

Instantly all of the Snow shinobi's had a startled expression on their faces.

Seeing that, the leader looked at them with an annoyed expression. "What are you waiting for!?" He roared in anger, then he looked down and saw something he didn't expect. . .his own hand on the ground as it dyed the snow red. "AAAAAAAAAUGH!" He wailed out in pain.

The swordswoman then calmly placed the blade back into its large sheath. She calmly and with patiently began to readjust herself as a strange clicking sound from the sheath was heard.

Some of the shinobi was that on the sheath different colors were spinning in place, ending with the color red.

Then in a very slow manner, the swordswoman began to unsheathe her blade once more, this time being crimson as it then extended out further by a few more meters.

"KILL HER!" The leader roared his order at the fifty of them and they all rushed through the forest and charged at the woman.

The next thing the barely unconscious Yami could saw, it couldn't even be called a battle. . .no. . .it was a slaughterfest as the Snow shinobi were completely and brutally killed as their body parts were scattered everywhere.

The screams of horror from the Snow shinobis echoed throughout the whole ordeal as not one of them was left alive.

Once the slaughter had ended, the swordswoman calmly swung her blade and the same sphere appeared because of it, then she unsheathed her blade into her sheath and began to head back to the sphere, not before she looked at the fallen Yami with a gentle aura around her.

"Masked. . ." Yami mumbled out. "Blood. . .blades woman. . ." She continued in a meek tone.

Upon hearing that, the masked woman stopped in her tracks and then calmly walked over to the young silver/blue haired girl, she kneeled down and gently rub her hair in a soft and gentle manner. "Keep getting stronger. . ." She whispered in a motherly tone.

Feeling the soft way her hair was being rubbed, Yami's eyes began to slowly closed as she saw the swordswoman stood up and then entered the sphere and completely vanished without a trace. Then the young girl had fallen asleep soon after.

It was just a few moments when the members of the Resistance began to slowly wake up one after the other as they were all confused beyond belief as they saw the separated remains of the Snow shinobis, however they were just glad that they were still alive.

Kai!

"Wait. . .your telling me that a single masked woman slaughters a massive group of Snow Shinobis and then told you to get stronger?" Anko questioned in disbelief.

Yami in response nodded to that. "That's what I recalled as I was barely conscious during the whole ordeal." She replied with honesty. "Though I did smell the the blood in the snow. . .so I know that it happened. . ." She then added.

"Ok. . .I have to admit, that the woman sound like a total badass. . ." Was all Anko could comment with a very impressed tone. "Though someone with skills like that should have been mentioned anywhere. . .this is the first I've ever heard of a woman like that." She then admitted.

Kurama just shrugged his shoulders. "Well at least we know that this woman isn't a threat." He then stated.

This made the snake mistress to raised an eyebrow. "How do you figure that?" Anko simply asked.

"I mean if she saved the Resistance that just want to save their homes and acted like a mother to her, she can't be all evil." Kurama simply commented as he pointed at the young girl.

Yami blushed slightly at that. "Y-Yeah. . ." She stammered out as she went and began to eat her takoyaki.

Anko then gave a teasing grin at the sight. "Oh~ Those little Snowflake has a secret idol crush?" She commented with teasing tone.

"And here we thought Naruto was your idol~" Kurama then added with a shit eating grin.

Yami immediately blushed pink to that. "Naruto-sensei is still my sensei! I'm sure with time, he will be just as amazing as her!" She retorted as she tried to show that her admiration for Naruto didn't lower in the slightest.

Both Anko and Kurama grin widen even more to that. "Just as amazing?" The two remarked in unison.

"BE QUIET!" Yami then exclaimed as she rapidly ate more of her takoyaki.

The two however only roared in laughter at that. "Looks like Snowflake will only react to idols swordsman than boy crushes. Good to know!" Anko commented as she continued to laugh.

Yami however continued to ignore the two as she kept eating.

Underneath Konoha. . .

"Che, why does Orochimaru-sama want this bitch?" Tayuya questioned in annoyance.

The Sound Three then looked at the panting and heavily injured Sakura as she lay on the ground.

"She couldn't even maintain her level one for more than a few moments!" Tayuya then added.

Kidōmaru however didn't looked annoyed as her. "True, but she did manage to keep up with us in our level one for a long time, that's impressive by itself." He commented.

Jirōbō nodded in agreement to that statement. "I agree, if she is this skilled now, she could survive that." He stated. "Even possibly rival us at some point." He then added.

As much as she didn't want to admit it, Tayuya had to give that to them. "Still think it's a waste of time. . ." She then remarked.

"Remember, Orochimaru-sama and that Danzō ordered us to train her before we head back to Otogakure, then she'll be a force to be reckon with." Kidōmaru stated.

Tayuya then turned towards the downed green haired girl. "Hey piggy, tired yet?" She tauntingly remarked with a smirk.

However, instead of being angry, Sakura just smiled happily and giggled madly with insanity in her eyes. "Nope, I'm doing just fine, give me a few minutes and I'll rip your throat out." She politely stated while her Curse Mark began flashing yellowish-green like a beacon.

At this comment, the three were slightly surprised at how cheerful and polite the girl had said it.

"Ok. . .what the fuck? This girl is batshit crazy." Tayuya then remarked as she looked at the biggest member of the group. "Your first to train her." She bluntly declared.

Jirōbō narrowed his eyes to that as he looked at the green haired girl. "Fine. . .Stand up, we need to start getting you ready for the ceremony." He ordered.

"For that you need to at least have a good measure of control of the Curse Mark if you want to survive that is." Kidōmaru then added.

Then the Curse Mark on Sakura then stopped glowing and returned to it seal on her hand as she weakly began to stand up, despite her injuries, she acted completely fine. "Very well, let's begin then." She simply stated with calm and composed tone while taking out her tantō.

Tayuya then groaned to this as she walked away to get some distance from the girl. "Great, the fuckin' bitch has a multiple personality problem. . .just fuckin' great. . ." She grumbled in annoyance.

Something told Tayuya this was going to be a long mission. . .

On the route to the Land of Tea. . .

After Team Nine and Kin had examined the area were the messengers had been attacked. They had manage to follow a small trailed that the attacker had left so they decided to follow it.

Now all of the team were running at a stable yet fast pace as they could heading towards the Land of Tea. "So what's the plan Neji?" Tenten soon questioned. "It now pretty obvious that the shinobi will be at the same place where Naruto, Hinata and Satsuki are gonna be protecting their client." She reminded.

"And it will most like will attack them during this youthful race." Lee then added

Kin in turn nodded in agreement to this. "Yeah, we may have different missions, but they both revolve around the same thing." She stated.

Neji continued to look ahead with his Byakugan as he began to think of what they should do. "Unlike Lee, it would be best to stick to the shadows and stay hidden." He advised. "And with this rogue carrying the Second Hokage's blade, it will be a difficult fight." He then admitted.

"So an ambush then?" Tenten asked.

Kin shook her head to that. "Nah, that would be too obvious." She stated.

Neji thought things deeply as he contemplated on either an ambushed or another option. After a few moments, Neji nodded. "No, we will used Kin's signature weapons." He stated.

"Eh?" Said girl being mentioned got out in confusion. "Me?" She then questioned.

Neji in response nodded to that. "Just like with your match against Shikamaru, you will use your senbons with bells to disorientate our target," He began to say as he looked towards Lee. "That way me and Lee will incapacitate him as quickly as possible." Then he turned towards Tenten. "Meanwhile Tenten will either attack or restrained him from a distance, this is so if the target can still fight you will be out of his range." He finalised.

The other three in response nodded to that.

"Alright, that makes sense." Tenten agreed.

"Yeah." Kin replied.

Lee however had a fire flaring around him. "YOSHA!" He declared with excitement. "I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO STALL THIS DASTARDLY ROGUE WITH EVERYTHING I GOT!" He added to his declaration.

At the client's manor. . .

The trio stood in front of the client, he was a fairly older man wearing a casual kimono outfit.

"All of you, thank you for coming." The client welcomed with a polite manner.

Naruto then stepped forward and gave a very old fashion bowing as he lightly bend forwards and stretched his hand downwards. "Begging your pardon! Begging your pardon!" He began to say with a distinct accent.

The girls meanwhile tilted their heads in confusion to this.

"I was born and raised in Konoha in the Land of Fire. I was bathed in birth water at Ichiraku Ramen. My given name is Naruto and surname is Uzumaki." Naruto introduced himself with the same accent at before. "Ah! But you may called me. . ." He then added.

By this point the girls had already realized that this was all but a prank from the blond. "Naru-kun." Satsuki giggled out.

"Ah! Come on Satsuki-chan! I was on a roll here!" Naruto whined in a childlike manner.

The client could only chuckled in good humor at the display. "Looks like Tsunade was right, the blond was a funny guy." He commented.

"You know Baa-chan?" Naruto asked with confused tone.

"Allowed me to formally introduce myself, my name Jirōchō Wasabi of the Wasabi Family." The now identified Jirōchō introduced himself. "Me and Tsunade are actually old gambling friends, so she told me that you'll be very spunky." He then revealed.

Hinata also giggled to that. "Naruto-kun does lighten the mood." She admitted.

"Why do I feel like Baa-chan had set me up?" Naruto commented with a deadpan tone.

Satsuki also giggled at that as she then looked at Jirōchō. "Speaking of Oba-chan, she told us that you would give us the rest of the details of this mission you requested.

Jirōchō face then turned serious as he nodded. "Yes, in fact. . ." He began to say as he coughed in his fist. "Do you know of the Dedication Ceremony at the Todoroki Great Shrine?" He questioned.

In response, the three merely shook their heads as a sign that they didn't.

The client then began to waved at the trio. "Well then, make yourselves comfortable." Jirōchō requested them to sat down. Once they did, the elderly man lowered his head. "The legend goes. . ." He began to say as he recalled the legends that had passed from generation to generation.

"A long time ago, in order to subdue a storm, Ryuko's Jewels were dedicated to the Todoroki Great Shrine and the storm subsided. It became a customary event that happens once every four years. At first, it wa just to dedicate the jewels, but several decades ago, it became a festival in which the first-place runner became the man of the year." Jirōchō explained.

The trio found this simply enough as they didn't asked for anything to clarified.

Then Jirōchō's face turned sad. "In recent years, the festival has taken on another face." He stated with a sad tone.

"For ages now, in this port town of Degarashi, two families, the Wasabi and the Wagarashi, have controlled local operations and policed the town. It's embarrassing, but the conflict between the two families has never ceased and there have been numerous skirmishes over territorial rights. As the struggle intensified, the town residents became entangled and even got injured. . ." He continued with a heavy heart.

"In order to put a stop to the conflict, for the first time, there was talk of some kind of mediation in the presence of the lord. And it was agreed that the power holder of the town would be determined in a contest rather than through brawls." Jirōchō finally concluded.

"So this constant would be. . ." Hinata began to asked as she could see a pattern.

"It is the Todoroki Great Shrine Dedication Ceremony that is held every four years." Jirōchō simply answered.

"I figured as much." Hinata thought to herself.

"Four years ago, the Wagarashi easily won by hiring a Shinobi and we have learned that they've hired another one this year as well." Jirōchō informed them."In order to counteract that, we sent messengers to Konoha with a request, however they were ambushed and attacked." He then added.

"Possibly Team Nine's target. . ." Satsuki thought via mental link with the other nodding in agreement.

Suddenly Jirōchō placed his head and hands on the floor and bowed. "So I beg of you." He begged, the trio were left surprised by this action. "Please lend us your power. We cannot afford to lose this race to the Wagarashi Family!" He pleaded.

There was a moment of silence as the trio processed what the elderly man had said. Then Naruto smiled as he gently hit his chest with his fist. "Leave it to us!" He declared with confidence.

"Yeah! We'll make sure you win this dattebakon!" Satsuki happily added.

Hinata meanwhile nodded in agreement to her teammates. "So who is the person that you would like for us to escort and protect?" She questioned with curiosity.

Hearing this made Jirōchō gasp in happiness. "Oh! So you'll take this job?" He asked with much relief in his tone, then he clapped a few times as he looked at the slide door.

It didn't take even a second when a shadow was right behind the door, then the person open it. "Did you called me boss?" A very familiar voice said.

"!" Hinata got out with wide eyes.

"Oh no fucking way. . ." Satsuki mumbled out with an eye twitch.

"YOU BASTARD!" Naruto roared.

Unaware of the situation Jirōchō simply smiled. "Oh, you guys know each other? Then that makes the story fast." He commented.

"Not quite. . ." Was all Hinata could say.

"HE FLIRTED WITH MY GIRLS DATTEBAYO!" Naruto declared with fury as both him and Idate glared at each other.

"HE MADE A PASS ON ME AND NATA-CHAN AND INSULTED BEING A SHINOBI!" Satsuki then stated her piece.

To hearing that, Jirōchō could only raise an eyebrow at this. "Idate. . ." He started. "Is this true?" He then questioned.

Said boy winced to that as he then looked at the head of the family. ". . .Yes sir. . ." He responded with shame.

Jirōchō could only let out a sigh as he turned towards the trio. "I think it's best if we let bygones be bygones, at least for now, is that alright?" He asked.

Though still annoyed, both Naruto and Satsuki nodded, for the sake of the mission if nothing else.

Around the same time at the border of the Land of Earth. . .

"Ok. . ." Anko started as she looked around at the forest path that she, Yami and Kurama were on. "According to the merchants, the thieving from this beast should be around this area." She advised.

Yami meanwhile had her hand gripping her sword to prepare for an attack. "However, we have been here for a few minutes and their isn't a single sign of it, which is strange. . ." She stated.

"Yeah, the merchants said it always attacks the instant that they are in the area." Anko agreed with her.

"It means they're like a predator, they can hide themselves well like an actual animal." Kurama wisely stated. "If you want to hunt a predator then you have to bait it out." He then added.

Anko in turn smirked to that as she then went and pulled a small pouch out of her jacket. "It's a sacrifice, but we gotta catch this guy." She stated as she then looked at the disguised demon fox. "You owe me some dangos and I want our sexy time tonight. . .but with something unique." She then ordered with a perverse grin..

Kurama in turn gave the woman a thumbs up. "Anything for my mate!" He declared with excitement.

Yami could only sigh at this as she simply grabbed the pouch and open it, she saw that it was simply some just baked dangos and began to let the aroma roamed free. "I hope that will attract it." She simply stated.

A few meters away from the group. . .

A shadow with big round eye suddenly jerked its head up and the ear like object on it head jerked a bit too. It looked around its area as three smaller shadows also began to move around.

Then the shadow began to sniff the air a few times as the aroma of dangos hit her nose making its large set of eyes sparkled with delight. "Ooooh! Food food!" A female childish tone got out in excitement as she turned towards the smaller shadows. "I smell food food little friend-chi!" She told them.

The three smaller shadows began to jump for joy at the news. "Arf! Meow! Chirp!" Three distinct animal cries shouted in equal excitement.

The shadow's ears then twitch as she tilted her head. "But. . .it's a little too soon then the usual time they come. . ." She commented in a confused tone.

"Arf?" One of the shadows whine with a sad tone which soon followed by the other two.

This made the shadow's ears jerked in startlement. "What!? No! We're still getting food food!" She declared to her friends.

"Meow?" Another shadow questioned with a worried tone.

"Of course it will be fine!" The head shadow happily replied. "We just wait to see if there's more food food!" She then added.

"Chirp!" The final Shadow cried in a cheerful way.

"Alright then, let's go!" The head shadow declared as she raised her fist upwards.

"Arf! Meow. . . Chirp!" The little shadows cried, though the second one didn't looked convinced but it was still onboard for getting more food.

With that, the four shadows dashed at impressive speeds to the source of the food.

Back with the Viper Squad. . .

It's been a few minutes since the group decided to used the bait as they wait if the thief would take it.

Kurama yawned as he leaned against a tree. "Well I'm bored. . ." He bluntly declared.

Anko in response giggled to that. "We'll have our fun time tonight." She promised.

Yami was too busy looking at her blade to see if their were any imperfection, which it didn't, that she really didn't cared about the two's conversation.

Suddenly, they all heard a branch snap, rustling bushes and some leaves moving.

"Looks like we got company. . ." Kurama retorted as he stood straight, though he couldn't quite pinpoint the location of the thief. "Well. . .either they're that good or they just don't have an ounce of malevolent intents, which it really surprised me." He thought to himself with an impressed tone as he would normally detect a person instantly because of it.

"Well it seems like they really do want the food we have." Yami then stated as she took her battle stance.

"Get ready, we don't know much, but we do know it's probably a shinobi, so don't let your guard down you hear?" Anko declared.

"No worries here, if I get killed, I'll just wake up back with the kit." Kurama lazily declared.

The shadow meanwhile narrowed their eyes as it looked at their new prey. "They strong strong. . ." It told their companions.

"Arf. . .Meow. . .Chirp. . ." The companions exclaimed with a hint of annoyance as they wouldn't let that get in between them and their food.

"Yeah! We can win win friends-chi!" The female shadow declared with confidence. "Let's get food food!" She then silently cheered.

Then the shadow took a crouching pose as her large eye narrow with ferocity. "Okki-chi!" She suddenly called out.

Then one of the smaller shadows came out of the bushes into the clearing, revealing it to be a small black colored wolf cub that had beautiful blue eyes. "Arf arf!" Okki replied as the small wolf and the shadow began to glow with chakra.

Suddenly. . .a flashed of both black colored light and chakra illuminated the forest, as a result startling Team Viper and Kurama.

"What was that!?" Anko asked with a startled tone.

"It appears that our suspicion of the thief being a shinobi were correct. . ." Yami declared as she took out her beloved katana, ready to fight.

"AWOOOOOOO!" A feral voice howled out in a wolfish manner.

What the!?" The three exclaimed in shock at the sound as they continued to look for the source..

Then they saw a shadow moving around them with impressive speeds, they couldn't get a clear look of it as it kept moving through bushes and trees. When they would turn one way it was already at another location.

"Crap! This thing is fast!" Anko cursed as she kept looking around.

"ROAR!" The shadow howled as it occasionally would run passed them.

"Careful! That little bugger is just trying to confused us!" Anko declared.

Yami's eyes kept moving around as she tried to find the source. "Where in the world is this beast?" She questioned, though she herself was fast, she could only do so in a straight and clear area.

"Ok, this may be harder than I thought." Kurama commented as even he was having a hard time catching up.

"ROAR!" It roared again as it jumped from the bushes and kicked the Bijū's face.

By the time the girls heard this and turned around, the shadow had already returned to the forest for cover.

"Ok! This guy's so dead!" Kurama shouted with annoyance as he rub his sore face.

"ROAR!" The shadow roared as it began jumping through the trees with even faster velocity.

"It's planning something!" Yami announced as he got into position.

As the sound of the trees continued to be hit by the shadow's speed, it began to gain even faster velocity as it hit one more and jumped of it at ridiculous speeds.

"ROAR!" It roared with intensity as it charged straight at the three.

"Brace yourselves!" Kurama shouted as the two did as he said.

Just then, the black blur passed the three as it slide on the ground right in between the group. "Eh?" The three got out as the shadow had passed them without making so much as a scratch on any of them.

Anko then turned to look at the shadow as it was running away. "What the hell!?" She asked, not having a clue what just happen.

"Um. . .Anko-sensei. . ." Yami called out to her leader.

"What?" Anko simply responded as she turn towards her.

"I think it got what it wanted and left." Yami stated as she pointed down.

The leader of the Viper Squad looked down and saw what Yami was talking about, where used to be the bait of dangos where now gone. ". . ." Anko was only left staring at the place here the dangos used to be with a stupefied expression.

". . .Damn. . .We been hoodwinked. . ." Kurama got out while blinking a bit before sniffing the air. "I can't smell the guy because it had spent too much time in the forest, but I do smell the dangos." He then advised as he point at some direction. "It went that way." He then said.

Yami then looked at the purple haired jonin. "Orders?" She simply asked.

"What do you think?" Anko simply said with a dark voice.

"Follow it?" Yami simply asked.

"No. . .find it. . .SO I CAN KILL HIM!" Anko roared as she ran after the thief.

Yami let out a sigh as Kurama just chuckled, then the two also began the chase.

Back in the Land of Tea. . .

Naruto was walking through the village they were currently in to see the area and to protect Idate, however. . .

"Boss Jirōchō is an important person! By rights, he shouldn't bow his head to shinobi like you!" Idate annoyingly stated to an equally annoyed blond.

Naruto just scoffed at that. "Even if he didn't bow his head, I'd flatly refuse to escort an asshole like you." He retorted.

"Oh yeah!? As if I'd go with some guy who came from who knows where!" Idate retorted in a rude manner.

"Some guy from who know where!? Our home just fought of a snake pedophie and a guy that tried to take over!" Naruto declared. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze future Hokara and Hero! And your also talking to one of the heroes that went and protected his home from complete destruction! Twice!" He then added to his declaration.

"Hokage? Hero? Bah! If your so call home need a little runt like you then it's not a big deal!" Idate declared with a rude manner.

"Hah! The boss of a gang is even less of a big deal if you don't help those in need!"" Naruto declared.

"Like an idiot like you would know! Boss Jirōchō is a very honorable person!" Idate defended.

"The Hokage is a great Shinobi who puts his life to protect the village and being a hero means you would put your life on the line to protect others, so that's way better and more honorable!" Naruto declared.

"Show's what you know! Boss Jirōchō is a very, very, very honorable person who would put his life on the line to protect the town and its people!" Idate declared.

"Being a Hokage and Hero is even more, more, more incredible!" Naruto declare.

To this point, the two once more had sparks fly as they glared at one another in anger and annoyance.

At another location with the girls of Team Seven. . .

Hinata was looking at the many products that the are was selling and was very surprised. "Even though it's a tourist resort, everything seems so expensive." She then told Uchiha via mental.

Satsuki on the other hand was more interested in another thing entirely. "Though it's also strange that they're figurines of the Boss Summons." She replied added.

"Sorry about that." The shop owner apologized. "It sure is expensive, isn't it." She commented.

"Oh! Sorry! We really didn't. . ." Hinata tried to apologize.

"We actually don't want to sell at this kind of price, but after the Wagarashi family came into power. . ." The shop own began to say.

CRASH!

The two girls suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking, making them go outside to see what had happen.

"P-Please forgive me!" A simply man pleaded as he was laying next the a broken door while three thugs were looking down on him.

"How dare you!? Do you know who you have to thank to do business" One of the grunts declared. "Are you actually thinking about turning against the Wagarashi Family?" He then insinuated with a smirk.

The poor man was shivering in fear as he shook his head and hand. "N-Not at all. But I have to get paid. . ." The man tried to implored.

The same man just scoffed. "You're slow to understand." He said as he began to crack his knuckles to intimidated the man even more. "Hey!" He called out to the other two thugs.

"Yes sir!" The two replied as they head back to the frightened man's shop.

"P-Please stop." The man tried to plead as he slowly began to stand up.

However, just as the man did, the first though violently grabbed his shirt. "Huh! First of all, we'll destroy you. . ." He declared as he cock back his fist and then when to punch the poor man.

Just as the fist was about to make contact, Satsuki appeared and stop it with minimal effort.

"Wh-Who are you!?" The thug demanded before looking at the one that stopped his fist.

The other two thugs then turned to see what has going on.

The seller woman meanwhile became wide eyed at what just happened. "Please customers run away! These people are from the Wagarashi. . ." She pleaded.

Hinata however just placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled kindly. "Please, do not worry. Satsuki-chan can handle this." She reassured.

Then the first thug looked at Satsuki, mainly at the chest area. "You better stay out of this sweetheart before you and that other girl there get hurt." He then threatened.

Satsuki giggled sarcastically to that. "Sweetheart huh? Oh my, I haven't heard that one before." She remarked as she stroked the chest of one of the thugs as she then lowered it in a teasing manner.

This in turn made the thug smirk with a perverted manner.

This was what Satsuki was waiting for as she smirked with evil glee. "However," She then began before she suddenly and tightly gripped the lower area of the guy.

"EEK!" The thug squealed in pain and in a girlish fashion.

Satsuki then got close to the thugs face and looked at him with a pissed off expression. "Me and my friend here are taken dattebakon." She declared in a serious tone.

"You bitch!" The one of the other thug declared.

"Now your gonna get it!" The last thug added.

The woman that had warn the girls could only cover her face, not wanting to see. Then the sound of punching, kicking and girly screams soon follow. Once everything went quiet, the woman slowly removed her hands to see what had happen.

One of the man then scoffed. "We'll let you go for today!" One of the thugs said.

"If you've learned your lesson, never defy us again, sweetheart!" The other thug added.

However in spite of the bravo of their tone, the two men's legs were shaking violently, as if they were hit very violently down there. Then they slowly and painfully crouch down and picked up the first thug as they then began to leave, but not before giving back the frightened man money.

Satsuki merely giggled to that. "If you need me to teach you a lesson again, come find me!" She called out in a sweet tone while cracking her knuckles.

Instantly, the thug's shook in terror at that. "NEVER AGAIN!" The two declared as they began to run as fast as they could while the first thug was flying like a leaf.

Satsuki continued to watch on as she playfully stuck her tongue out. "That's another victory for me!" She happily declared.

"Young lady. . ." The man suddenly called out, getting the girl's attention. "Thank you very much." He said while giving the girl a bow.

Satsuki then smiled kindly to that. "It's what we do." She reassured.

"What a refreshing feeling!" The lady said with relief as she looked at the direction the thugs had run off to. "We definitely need Boss Jirōchō's Wasabi Family to win the upcoming race." She commented.

To hearing that, the two girls of Team Seven finally understood the seriousness of why the client was in desperate need of help. Then the two girls looked at one another, they didn't even need to say a word as they nodded.

Back at the border between the Lands of Fire and Earth. . .

"Nom nom nom!" A young female got out as if she was eating. "Mmm! So good good!" She commented with glee.

The sound of softer munching was heard next to her as the small wolf cub and the other two shadows ate their share of the dangos. "Arf! Meow! Chirp!" Okki and the others replied in complete agreement.

The humanoid shadow nodded to that in response. "Mmm! It really is Okki-chi! Ora-chi! Ori-chi!" She happily replied.

RUSTLE!

Suddenly all sets of ears perked up as they heard footsteps coming in there direction.

The humanoid shadow ear's perked upwards at this. "Oh no! They follow us!" She commented with startlement. "Okki-chi!" She called out.

The wolf cub however lower its head. "Arf. . ." Okki whined with a tired tone.

"Oh no! You too tired!" The shadow stated with a worried tone.

"Meow!" Another shadow called out.

"Ora-chi, you good for this?" The shadow asked.

"Meow!" Ora replied with a confident tone as she stepped out of the shadows to reveal a small white and black striped tiger cub and like Okki, this one too had beautiful blue eyes.

The shadow smiled widely at this. "Yosh! Then let's go go Ora-chi!" She declared as she took the same crouching stance.

Then like last time both the Shadow and Ora began to glow with chakra.

Just a few feet from the location of the thief. . .

The team and Kurama continued their pursuit, they all could feel something the closer the get to the thief position.

"Oh what now!?" Anko asked with an annoyed tone.

Suddenly, a flash of white light illuminated the area.

"RWOW!" The group heard the sound of a ferocious cat like creature roaring with intensity.

"What the-!? A cat!?" Kurama got out in confusion.

However because of this moment of distraction, a creature suddenly jumped out of the trees and with incredible speed she dashed towards them as headed towards the Bijū.

"ROAR!" The cat like creature roared as it went and sucker punched Kurama straight in the face.

Then the girls turn only to see a white blur heading towards the bushes.

"OW! MOTHERFUCKER!" Kurama shouted as he grabbed his nose. "Oh he did not just sucker punched me!" He declared with anger.

Before Kurama could say anything else, the creature attacked again, but this time aimed for Anko. It was thanks to the snake mistress agility and flexibility that she dodge that attack.

CRACK!

Anko turn and her eyes widen when she saw that the hit that was aim for her made a big cracked the tree. "Be careful! This guys is strong!" She announced.

"I know!" Kurama declared as he was still holding his nose.

"Hai!" Yami responded as she prepared herself.

"ROAR!" The cat creature roared once more as she dashed once more towards them, however this time everyone was ready.

The group finally got the momentum of the creatures attack pattern and manage to dodge or block each of the attacks, causing them to get a glimpse of what was attacking them.

"Ok, does anyone see's what this guy even looks like!?" Anko asked as she could barely keep up with the brutal attacks.

"Its moves too fast and uses the forest to cover and block our sight, however I did see it being white and has black markings." Yami reported.

"Wait white!?" Kurama got out in a confused tone as he dodge yet another strike. "During the first time it attacked, I saw black!" He told them.

Suddenly the creature attack Anko once more, but this time however, she heard groaning and panting as the creature was forced to stop it's charge and finally giving the Viper Squad and Kurama a full view of the appearance of the creature that attacked them, causing them to become wide eyed.

". . .What. . .the fuck. . .?" Kurama got out at the sight.

What was in front of them was a very small person, very small, in fact it looked to be the size of an eight year old child.

"We. . .we were attacks by a child?" Yami questioned in confusion as she lowered her sword.

Then they began to look at the child and they finally saw the more unusual aspects about them.

The child had big blue round eyes that had a cat slit and almost all of her skin and hair completely white color and had black stripe marks across their body. As one would had expect, it barely was wearing any normal clothing from someone that lives in the forests, save for what looked like a tattered white dress that cover most of their body.

Finally the on top of its head was two cat-like ears as the twitch every so often while near their rear was a long cat-like tail as it moved like how an actual cat tail does.

The child was panting heavily from clear sign of fatigue as it then began to kneeled from tiredness.

Anko then looked at the disguised Tailed Beast with a serious expression . "Oi. . .do you-?" She started.

"No." Kurama immediately answered the unfinished question while still staring. "Though it looks like she is using chakra, it most definitely not a jinchūriki nor it is using Bijū chakra either." She explained.

Anko then looked back at the panting child in more confusion. "Then what is this?" She then asked.

The creature didn't pay any attention to this as she was too busy panting. "Uh oh. . ." She got out as she was not panting even harder than before.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light that forced the group covered their eyes. Once the light had died down, they uncovered their eyes and there they saw the same creature, but now however. . .

In the place where the creature was once located was now the same small person that revealed to be a female, but now her skin was now a peach color and her hair was lightish brown, also because she didn't had the black streaks anymore, they saw that almost all over the girl's body, except for her face, she had many scars that looked like animal scratches.

"She's. . .definitely human. . ." Yami got out in shock as she slightly lower her sword but didn't lower her guard.

However the only thing that they noticed that were the same were her big round eyes, but now they were black instead of blue and had big round black pupils and those cat like ears were still on top of her head.

Kurama meanwhile narrowed his eyes as he then looked to the child's side as he saw a very unusual colored creature. "A tiger cub." He then pointed out.

Anko nodded to that as she looked at both the child and the animal. "But it's white. . .Those of white color usually from the Forest of Death." She stated as she then began to walked towards the small child.

The girl's head jerked at this as she grabbed the small tiger cub and gave a cute glare at the three looking at her, in fear of them trying to hurt her friend. "Grrrrrrrrr!" She growled out like a small animal.

Anko stopped at this, seeing the fear in the girl's eyes as she silently ordered Kurama and Yami to not do anything as she stepped forward. "Calm down. . ." She got out in a calm tone.

The girl in response stopped growling, but didn't stop her glaring as it was then added by a cute looking pout.

This made Anko chuckle in amusement to the sight, then she crouched near the girl. "It's ok, we're not going to harm you alright?" She reassured with a gentle tone.

The girl tightly held the tiger cub in response, however. . .she slowly began to slowly crouch walked towards Anko.

"That's right, it's ok." Anko calmly said as she saw the girl slowly heading towards her.

Yami then looked at the disguised Tailed Beast. "Is this a good idea?" She asked with concern. "We did just have a battle." She added.

Kurama merely waved his hand to that. "Nah, it's alright, the girl has low chakra right now, so she wouldn't be much of a threat now even if she wanted to try anything." He replied as he then rubbed his sore nose. "Though I do wonder why she's so. . .feral. . ." He then admitted.

As the girl was now two feet away from Anko, she began to watch her with a curious expression as her eyes then looked straight at something that made her eyes began to sparkle and the cat ear like hair began to twitch playfully.

"Meow. . ." The tiger cub got out, sounding like it knew what was coming as it jumped off the embrace of the girl and landed on the ground while having an annoyed expression on it face.

"Eh?" Anko meanwhile got out in confusion as she saw this and then looked at the sparkling eyed girl.

The sparkle then flashed into a predator's eyes as her animal like ears on top of her head began move with even more excitement. "OPPAI!" Was the first human word they heard from wild girl.

Then the girl suddenly jumped onto a very startled Anko's breasts, making her fall on her butt while the girl began to snuggle her face in them.

"WHA-!?" A shocked and embarrassed Anko got out as she felt her breast being snuggled with much glee. "O-OI!" She then got out in embarrassment.

Kurama mouth had fallen to the ground as he saw this. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" He exclaimed in shock and confusion.

Yami could only watch with a baffled expression, not even sure what to think let alone what to say at this.

"OPPAI! OPPAI!" The young female meanwhile exclaimed in more happiness as she continued snuggling.

"Meow. . ." The tiger cub got out with a sweatdrop as it then heard some sounds that sounded like animal laughter in the bushes. "Meow. . ." It let out yet again with another sigh.

The disguised Bijū finally recovered from his shocked as his eye began to twitch as he grabbed the wild girl and yanked her off of Anko. "Hey you frickin' loli! The only one that touches those are me!" Kurama declared as he dangled the poor wild girl with one hand by her dress.

"Hey let me go!" The wild girl whined out as she tried to free herself by flailing her arms. "And I ain't a loli!" She then declared.

"Grrrrrr. . ." The tiger cub growled and it was soon joined by the sound of two more small animals also growled as they came from the bush.

"Eh?" Was all Kurama could got out.

Then the human transformed Bijū was jumped by the tiger cub and two more animals, revealing one to be a black wolf cub and the other being a red bird chick. "ROAR!" They all roared as they began to literally mauling every single part of his body.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Kurama roared in agony as he released the wild girl while trying to get the very elusive animals of him, but they kept moving and biting him as they go.

(F2P short A/N: Why does this sounds so familiar?)

Yami meanwhile blinked at everything that was occurring as she then looked back at Anko along with the now well behaving wild girl, though she was pouting cutely since the purple haired jonin was now covering her chest with her arms. "I believe. . .this has become more difficult. . ." She admitted as she placed her katana back in her sheath.

The young swordswoman however didn't know just how right she was with that comment. . .

Underneath Konoha. . .

Sakura was panting heavily as her entire body had cuts, swollen sections and many bruises on her face and all over her body. Ever since the Sound Three arrived, they had began their brutal training on the mad girl to have her master her Curse Mark powers, Kidōmaru had forbidden her from defending herself, unless she was using at the very least her initial Curse Mark form.

This rule was so that Sakura had an incentive to get better use and control her Curse Mark powers. To which she could, to a certain extent, but for only a few minutes before she couldn't use it, which meant her being a human punching bag, thus leaving her in her current state.

A Level 1 Curse Mark form of Jirōbō, whose marks were like connected triangles, meanwhile looked on at the down girl. "Get up." He sternly ordered.

Sakura panted more to that as she looked at the large man before struggling to get up. "I'm. . .not. . .done. . .yet. . ." She panted out as slowly forced to activate the Curse Mark as it began to spread across her body. Once it did, many of her previous injuries began to rapidly heal, this allowed her to stand up again.

Kidōmaru then took a step forward while cracking his knuckles. "Alright, my turn." He remarked with an amused tone as his own Curse Mark started to spread across his body, his having the appearance of swirls.

At this, Jirōbō deactivated his Curse Mark. "Alright." He simply complied as he stepped aside.

At that moment, Sakura dashed forwards as the sound of humming soon followed, Kidōmaru easily dodged the attack and began to move his fingers in a particular pattern.

Then suddenly, Sakura's body began to rise up from the ground as if she was being risen up by strings with her upper body bent backwards as a sickening cracking soon follow.

"AAAAH!" Sakura screamed in agony as many of her bones were breaking.

Kidōmaru then released the green and pink haired girl as the she was left like a puppet without strings.

But as that happened, more sounds of crackings were heard again, however this time, it was from her bones readjusting. "Ne, we aren't done yet are we?" Sakura soon asked in a sickly sweet tone.

"Nope." Kidōmaru simply said as he suddenly pulled his entire hand and the insane girl was then tossed to the stone roof and then slamming her in the the ground making a large crater.

Tayuya meanwhile was sitting down in a chair as she let out a loud and long yawn. "I'm fuckin' bored!" She soon loudly exclaimed.

Jirōbō in turn looked towards the dark pink haired girl. "Tayuya, you really shouldn't swear like that." He chided.

That remark in turn made Tayuya get up from her seat and glared at the large man. "SHUT THE HELL UP FATASS!" She roared.

"Tayuya. . ." Kidōmaru simply ordered while narrowing his eyes.

Tayuya just scoffed at this but she did calmed down. "This is a complete waste of time, I'm fuckin' bored of breaking that useless bitch into an insane fuck then anyone else back in Oto." She then declared as she began to walk away. "I'm gonna go into that fuckin' village." She then decided.

"Tayuya, I don't think that is a wise thing to do, we are known by Konoha as the one that helped Orochimaru-sama's assassination attempt onto the Third Hokage." Jirōbō tried to reason with the angry girl.

However this only made Tayuya even more angry. "Then I'll put up a fuckin' disguise before getting some clothes to wear." She remarked while withholding her anger as she stormed off away from the others. "See ya assholes, have fun breaking the bitch into insanity." She then quipped.

Jirōbō then let out a sigh a he turned towards their leader. "Kidōmaru? Should we let her go like this?" He asked with concern in his tone.

Kidōmaru turn to watch this and began to think. Seeing this, Sakura began to produce another humming sound and dashed as she aimed for the six armed man's neck with a murderous smile on her face.

Said man however only pulled his fingers together making Sakura stop in her tracks and then was sent crashing onto the wall. "Not happening." He uncaringly stated to the green and pink haired girl. "Anyways. . .She'll be fine, she may be rash, but she does have brains." He reminded. "Besides, she a big girl, so she can take care of herself." he added

Jirōbō merely nodded in response to that. "Very well." He replied as he took a few steps towards Kidōmaru. "I believe is my turn." He then stated as he activated his Curse Mark.

Kidōmaru simply shrugged. "Sure why not." He replied as he pulled his hand and Sakura was send flying straight towards a fist ready Jirōbō.

Back at the border between the Lands of Fire and Earth. . .

The wild girl was pouting as she sat on the ground as the small animals were sitting on her lap, save for the bird that was on the girl's head.

It was this that the group finally got a good look at the small animals.

The wolf cub was no bigger than a foot tall and two feet long like Akamaru, but it had puffy and uneven hair. It was looking at the people in front of the girl while giving an adorable angry look at them as it was ready to fight at any moment incase they tried anything to harm her.

For the tiger cub it was more or less the same size as the wolf cub, however unlike the first, it had a soft and silky looking white fur and it was apparent that it had more muscle than the wolf cub. It had a very calmed and composed expression as if it was planning for a strategy for anything that could happen.

Last, but not least, was the bird chick, there were many things different than the average bird. This bird was 9-16 inches big or a bit bigger, enough for it to perch itself on the girl's head and not bother her. It had a small black beak. All of its body had bright red feathers, the ends of its tail had long yellow feathers, its wings feathers had darkish orange feathers and head feathers also had short orange feathers.

The most eye catching aspect of the feathers was that on the tips of the tail, wings and head of the bird it had a different bright colors. The bird was happily moving it head as if nothing wrong had happened.

However all three animals had something in common that they all shared, they all had beautiful blue eyes.

"Alright, who the hell are you and why the hell were you snuggling up to my woman?" Kurama questioned with narrow eyes.

"Mmmm. . ." The wild girl got out while still pouting.

"Come on," Anko then started. "You got to grope me, you give us some answers now." She soon added.

The girl looked at the older woman for a moment before she nodded. "Nina. . .Nina Dōbutsu." She introduced herself.

"Nina. . .Animal? Really?" Kurama commented with a deadpan tone after translating her last name.

"Ok then Nina, who are these little guys." Anko then asked as she looked at the animals.

Nina then looked at her friends as they did the same. "They're friends." She simply replied as she picked up the wolf cub. "This is Okki-chi!" She introduced.

"Arf!" Okki barked out as it gave a soft growl.

"Chi?" Kurama and Yami thought in confused unison.

Then Nina placed Okki down and picked up the tiger cub. "This is Ora-chi!" She then introduced.

"Meow. . ." Ora simply commented with a calm tone.

Nina then placed Ora down as she pointed to her head. "And this is Ori-chi!" She continued.

"Chirp chirp!" Ori cheerfully said as it jumped a few times.

"Their all my girlfriends!" Nina concluded while her cat like ears moved happily

"Wow. . .those buggers have different personalities. . ." Kurama commented. "And they're all female. . .didn't expect that." He then added.

"Anyway. . ." Yami started as she stepped forwards. "Why were you attacking merchants?" She then asked.

As one, Nina and her animal friends innocently tilted their head in unison. "We were hungry." She simply answered while the lightish brown ears on her head wagged.

Kurama immediately sweatdropped to that. "Called it. . ." He stated with a deadpan tone.

"Very well. . .then why did you attack us?" Yami then added to her questions.

Nina frowned sadly at that as the cat ear like hair pieces dropped to that. "We thought you were going to take our food food. . ." She replied in a sad tone.

"Food that you took." Kurama then reminded. "And what's up with the cat ears?" He then asked.

Yami nodded in agreement to that. "Yes, I find that strange, how do you posses animal parts?" She asked.

In response, Nina cutely tilted her head as she raised her hands onto the sides of her head and brushed her hair slightly, there everyone saw that she had human ears. "My ears?" She asked with a confused tone.

Though slightly surprised at the sight of her actual ears, Yami then pointed to the top of the girl's head. "We mean those on top of your head." She then responded.

Once again, Nine tilted her head as she placed her hands on her head and grabbed the lightish brown cat-like ears and to everyone's surprise, she separated them, showing them all that it was just hair. "What cat ears?" She then innocently asked as let her hair go and said hair then twitched a little in a cat-like fashion.

Yami could only blinked in confusion as she didn't understand what had just happen. "Huh?" She got out at the sight.

"But they just-! Then they-! I mean how!?" Kurama babbled at he what he just saw and what he was seeing now didn't make any sense, even for a demon.

"Moving on. . ." Anko said getting everyone back at the topic after getting over the shock of the cat ear like hair pieces. "Why are you even here? Why are you in this forest?" Anko asked.

Nina immediately grinned to that as her ear's perked up. "This is home home!" She cheerfully replied. "It's how I got my marks!" She added as she pointed to the scars on her body.

This made Anko and Yami slightly cringe at the thought of getting all those scars all over their bodies while Kurama narrowed his eyes to that. They were so distracted by this that they didn't notice the little animals had a sad expression on their faces.

Kurama soon recovered however when he looked on as his eye twitched in response to what her hair did again. "Seriously! How!?" He got out at the sight.

"Quite puzzling." Was all Yami could say.

Anko sighed at that. "Alright, then where are your parents?" She then asked.

To hearing that, Nina's hair covered her eyes as her ears fell in depression. "I don't know. . .I don't remember. . ." She mumbled out.

This instantly made the group realized that they had step in a sore subject.

Kurama sighed to this as he rub his head. "Shit, amnesia. . ." He grumbled out.

"I see. . ." Yami got out with a calm and understanding tone.

". . ." Anko said nothing as she looked at the sadden girl with eye full of sympathy as he mind began to recalled memories she had tried to forget.

The little creatures looked sad at this as the wolf and tiger jumped onto her shoulders and began to affectionately rub Nina's cheeks as the red chick began chirping in a silly manner.

This action made Nina to raise her head and began to giggling at the actions of her friends. "Stop it!" She requested as she giggled.

"Hmm. . ." Kurama got out as an idea came to him. "Hey Anko-chan. . ." He started in a whisper.

This caused Anko to snap out of her self trance. "Huh!? Yeah?" She got out as her eyes didn't leave the giggling girl.

"You still need two more members right?" Kurama then questioned as he then eyed the animal loving girl.

Anko turned towards the human shape Bijū. "Huh?" She got out.

Yami's eyes meanwhile widen to what was being suggested. "Wait, are you saying-?" She got out.

"Eh. . .why not?" Kurama counter questioned while shrugging his shoulders. "Hey wild girl." He then started.

Nina stopped her giggling as she turned toward him. "Huh?" She asked as she tilted her head.

"How about you come with us and be on Anko's team she's creating?" Kurama then offered as she pointed at the girl.

"What!?" Anko exclaimed in shock. "H-Hold on Kurama-!" She then got out.

Then Nina got up as the little animals jump off her. Then she began to walked towards Anko with the little ones right next to her. "You. . .you want to take me and my friend-chi with you?" She asked as her adorable big round eyes looked straight at the woman's eyes.

"Urk!" Anko winced out at the sight of those big round eyes. "C-Cute. . ." She mumbled in shame for falling for it. "Alright, if you want, you and your little friends here can come with us." She told them with a bit of embarrassment in her tone.

Nina's face lit up like never before as she smiled so widely to that. "Yay! We have new friends to play with!" She shouted as she and her animal friends began to jumped around themselves in happiness.

Yami's eye meanwhile twitched at the girl's happiness. "C-Cute. . ." She got out.

Kurama however could only chuckle at this. "Looks like you have a soft spot for little girls, huh?" He asked with a teasing tone.

Anko then gave a sweet smile to that. "You are listening to me tonight." She ordered.

However before the Bijū could replied. . .

"Yay! Let's play!" Nina shouted as she jumped onto Kurama's neck and began to spin around him.

"GET OF ME YOU LITTLE-" Kurama shouted as he tried to pulled of Nina of him.

"GRR. . ." Three very familiar growls were then heard.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me. . ." Was all Kurama could say as he saw where this was heading.

BITE! CHOMP! SCRATCH! TEAR!

Then the sound of biting, chomping scratching and all manner of maulding sounds soon followed.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Kurama once more roared as the sound of Nina's child like laughter echoed through the forest.

(F2P A/N: Again. . .way too familiar. . .)

Back in Konoha. . .

A certain dark pink haired girl was walking through the village with her hands in her pockets with a uncaring expression on her face. The young woman had first used a henge to disguised herself, but she knew this would be dangerous in the long run, so she only used it so that she could enter the shopping district and buy the clothes she was wearing right now.

Tayuya was now wearing tight black pants that made her hips stand out more as her flute was on her side. She had a sleeveless v-neck blue shirt that showed her chest slightly that was accustomed with some fishnet, while having a small black jacket that only cover her arms, shoulders and her back while leaving her shirt visible. On her feet were the same heeled shinobi sandals. Finally, she didn't have her usual hat as she let her hair dangle freely.

"Why the fuck did this fuckin' village had to have good fuckin' clothes. . ." Tayuya begrudgingly grumbled out, slightly jealous at the types of clothing Konoha had as she continued walking through the village.

Tayuya then slightly shielded her eyes as the sunlight shined down, even though it was sunset at the time. "Jeez, it's way fickin' brighter here then that shit hole back home. . ." She grumbled out some more.

For Otogakure, it wasn't really a shinobi village, it was just large underground caverns connected to one another throughout the world, she rarely see the sunlight unless it was for a mission.

"No wonder Kin fuckin' turned traitor and got out so easily. . ." Tayuya then admitted with her hair covering her head in slight depression.

Tayuya didn't personally knew the girl, all that she knew about her was simply from a certain pair of siblings had told her, as one would say she like Kin more than her because she was calm and compose while the other would say she like her better for her colorful personality.

The thought of those two caused Tayuya to become even more annoyed. "Still hate that asshole and bitch. . ." She soon added in annoyance.

The dark pink haired girl then began to think about many other people that she actually hated, causing her to glare before wincing from her Curse Mark. "Fuckin' Orochimaru. . ." She thought in some disdain as she used her hand to cover where the mark was. "I only work for the fuckin' bastard because I had no choice if I wanted to survive! And this damn mark making me loyal to him. . ." She then added in her head.

Tayuya continued walking aimlessly down the district as she looked at certain shops that had caught her attention, one specifically caught her attention, it was a simply mask shop as she saw a mask of a crazed looking demon, this instantly caused her to chuckle at the sight. "At least I'm not insane like that fuckin' bitch below." She then remarked with a smirk.

The girl then continued walking as she then noticed a beetle flying around, causing her to narrow her eyes. "Kabuto. . ." She soon thought. "That fuckin' glasses wear bottom bitch of Orochimaru. . ." She remarked in her head. "I bet he would so suck his tiny ass balls if he had the chance or if he was ordered to, though that would require the snake fucker to actually have one in the first place." She then ranted to herself.

Then the girls thought when towards the newest member of Orochimaru's group. "Oh! And then there's that emotionless crippled fuck. . ." She started with an eye twitch. "Can he just shut up about how shinobis should be emotionless for five fuckin' seconds!? No wonder he was run out of this damn village!" She screamed in her mind.

After finishing her mental rant, Tayuya stretched her arms as she let out a long sigh. "Man! I needed that. . ." She muttered to herself with a refreshed tone.

The young woman was soon so distracted by her ranting that she didn't even felt someone was right behind her as their hand was creeping towards her.

Tap tap!

"!?" Tayuya got out as she felt a hand on her shoulder as she jerked her head around to see who it was.

At the border between the Lands of Fire and Earth. . .

After the insanity and chaos from the recent events, which consisted in the discovery of Nina, to which Team Viper Squad had reported to the merchants that the their mission was successful and that mysterious thief won't bother their trade ever again, while purposely never revealing who the thief was. Then Anko's Squad, Kurama and their newest addition went back to the town to sleep at a hotel.

"I don't know about you guys, but I need a rest. . ." Anko commented with tired tone. "And you guys?" She asked.

Yami nodded in agreement to that. "Hai." She simply responded.

The badly bandage Bijū looked at her. "What do you think?" Was all Kurama had to say.

"Sorry. . ." Nina innocently apologized.

In response to hearing that, Kurama sighed in response."Don't blame you. . ." He stated as he glared at the small animals. "I blame them. . ." He then added.

"Grr. . ." Was the triple response of the small animals.

This made Anko realize something. "Oh yeah, sorry kid but this place doesn't admit animals, so they will have to stay outside for tonight." She told the little girl.

Nina and her animal friends eyes widen to hearing that. "EEEEEEEEEH!? WHY ANKO-CHI!?" She exclaimed.

"Arf! Arf! Chirp! Chirp!" Both Okki and Ori barked/chirped in complete disagreement.

However strangely enough, Ora was unusually quiet as she calmly moved her tail. "Meow!" She suddenly called out to the two.

"Arf? Chirp?" The two replied.

"Meow." Ora calmly replied to them as she then walked to the purple haired jonin. "Meow meow." She told her.

"EH!?" Nina shouted in surprised.

"ARF!? CHIRP!?" The two animals exclaimed in unison.

"Um. . .what?" Anko got out. "Sorry, don't speak cat." She then remarked.

"Don't look at me. . .I ain't no cat." Kurama retorted.

Nina then fiddled a bit as she looked from her tiger companion to Anko. "Um. . .Ora-chi said she's ok with staying outside." She informed.

"ARF! CHIRP!" The two animals shouted with an angry tone at the stilly calm Ora.

"And Okki-chi and Ori-chi disapprove of this." Nina then translate.

"And she can understand them. . ." Kurama muttered at this reveal.

"Yeah! I can understand them perfectly!" Nina revealed with a happy tone.

This made the three gain a surprised expression. "Does that mean you have the ability to talked with animals?" Yami asked with a surprised tone.

Nina just shook her head. "No, I just know what Okki-chi, Ora-chi and Ori-chi say." She then clarified.

The three's surprised expressions quickly left them. "Well that's a let down. . ." Kurama simply remarked.

Then Okki and Ori when towards Ora. "Arf Arf!" Okki asked with an angry and demanding tone.

"Chirp chrip!" Ori got out in an agreeing tone.

"Meow!" Ora suddenly said and instantly quiet the two. Then she secretly looked at the group and smiled when she saw that no one was looking at them. "Meow meow. . ." She whispered to that two.

"Arf? Chirp?" The two got in confusion.

Ora then smiled evilly as she began meowing lowly so that only the two could hear her. The two nodded a few times as they listen to Ora, by the time she had finished explained Okki was rasping her throat in the dog's equivalent of laughter while Ori was chirping happily.

Then the three little animals nodded in unison as they jumped in single file in front of Anko. "Arf! Meow! Chirp!" The all announce with a strangely unified tone.

Nina just blinked her eyes a few times. "Um. . .they say that they all agree to stay outside." She translated with a confused tone.

Anko on the other hand look at the three smaller animals with suspicion. "Why the sudden change of mind?" She asked with suspicion.

The three animals just looked at the snake mistress with big innocent looking eyes.

Anko merely groaned to that. "They are so planning something. . ." She grumbled out.

"I don't think it could be that bad, they are still small animals." Yami commented.

"Tell that to my face. . ." Kurama retorted as he reminded them about what happened to his face. "I'm getting a room at the inn, Anko-chan?" He then offered.

"Yup, me and Kurama will in one room while Snowflake and Wild Child are in another." Anko stated as she and Kurama went inside their room.

Yami sighed at hearing that as the nicknames were beginning again. Nina on the other hand just tilted her head to the side. "Snowflake? Wild Child?" She cutely and innocently asked her fellow roommate.

Yami then looked at said girl. "It's a nickname Nina-chan, Anko-sensei gives one to everyone." She answered. "Also you better get used to it because she won't stop calling us that way." She added with an annoyed tone.

The response however was the small girl giggling happily to that. "I like like the name." She replied.

"Let's. . .just head in, you need a bath." Yami simply stated as she headed inside.

"Ok!" Nina replied as she turned towards her friends. "Are you sure sure that you'll be ok?" She asked her friends with concern in her tone.

"Meow!" Ora answered for her comrades.

"Mmm. . .Ok!" Nina replied as she also headed inside.

The small animals waved happily at their friends, once they were all inside, their innocent smiles disappeared and an evil smirks appeared on their face, then they each turn to look at each other and began to give animal like evil laughter.

Within Konoha. . .

"Oi," Tayuya started in a deadpan tone. "You got something to say or what?" She then questioned as she looked at the person that was behind her.

"Arf!" A familiar white dog barked out.

"Yeah boy, I know she's not Sakura, I just wanted to make sure is all." Kiba replied. "S-Sorry that, we thought you were someone else." He then admitted.

"Oh~ He did not just mistake me for that waste of excuse of a kunoichi!" Tayuya mentally roared in her mind, but she tried to remain calm or risked looking suspicious. "Is that so, well no harm done." She replied as she forced to act nice.

Not knowing nor even understanding the workings of the female mind, Kiba believed what the young woman had just said. "Yeah sorry about that," He then started as rubbed back of his head. "I ended up mistaking a cute girl for my missing teammate." He then added

"Oh this brat is not making a move one me. . ." Tayuya thought with pure annoyance. "Kid, I'm older than you by a year at least, are you seriously flirting with me?" Tayuya deadpanned her question.

This only made Kiba grin. "Oh~ Does it really matter the age? If their love in between." He tried to smoothly stated. "The name's Kiba, what's your name?" He then asked.

Akamaru meanwhile whined slightly at his master's attempt at a pick up line. "Worst. . .pick up. . .line. . .of all time. . ." The puppy thought with much embarrassment at even hearing it.

"Kid, that was just lame as hell. . ." Tayuya stated, getting straight to the point making said boy nearly face fault. "And besides, I'm not that cute." She then stated.

Kiba blinked to that as he looked at the dark pink haired girl. "You sure? You look pretty cute to me." He then admitted.

Tayuya tried to smiled as she tried not to look, and failing miserably, from looking angry. "Cute is for little girls idiot! Your supposed to at very least say beautiful to an older girl! You suck at picking up girl!" She roared in her mind. "Why thank you. . ." She forced out.

"Arf. . ." Akamaru got out as even he could see that the older woman was forcing herself to act nice to his master/partner.

The ever oblivious Kiba however misinterpret what his partner was whining about. "Sorry, Akamaru here says that I should call you beautiful since your older." He then corrected while embarrassingly rubbing the back of his head.

This made said puppy to let out another whine. "Wow. . .his mutt's smarter than him." Tayuya thought in slight amusement and a flabbergast tone. "Nice. . .to meet you. . ." She told the puppy with a sympathetic tone.

"Arf. . ." Akamaru replied with a thankful tone as he just knew why the girl sounded like that.

"Moving on from that, how about you got on a date?" Kiba finally asked with a wide grin on his face. "You look like you're new here and I can show you around the village." He then offered.

". . ." Tayuya looked at the younger boy with complete blank face. "I rather date that one eyed cripple, get gangbanged by him and the fatass of a teammate of mine than ever be found out that I actually date this snot nose brat the was younger then me. . ." She thought to herself with a serious yet insulted tone. "Thanks. . .but I'll be find on my own. . .though I appreciate the thought. . ." She tried to politely decline the offer as she turned around and began to leave.

Not wanting to miss on a possible hot date with an older girl, Kiba went and grab the dark pink haired girl's hand. "Oh come on! I'm sure you'll have a good time!" He quickly requested.

It was at this point that Tayuya was near her limit. "If this brat doesn't get his hand of me. . .HE AIN'T GOING TO GET IT BACK!" She roared in her mind with pure fury.

However just before Tayuya was about to do just that. "Wait a minute. . ." Kiba got out as he squint his eyes, making the older girl stop in her tracks. "I don't know why, but I get the feeling I seen you somewhere before. . .but where?" He soon wondered with a confused tone.

"Shit!" Tayuya cursed in her mind. "Y-You probably think of that teammate you said before. . ." She nervously got out

"Nah. . .that's not it. . .I thought at first that was the case, but your pink hair reminds me of something else. . ." Kiba got out with a confused tone.

"Arf?" Akamaru got out as he didn't understood what his partner was saying.

By this point, Tayuya was ready to shit a brick if the boy had seen her in the Bingo Book. "If their a chance this idiot blaps about seeing sound like me, I'M SO FUCKIN' DEAD!" She thought with a panic.

"Wait. . .wasn't-?" Kiba got out as he was beginning to remember.

Thinking quickly what was the best course of action she should take, Tayuya quickly blurted out what came to mind quickly. "You know what!? I change my mind! Since I am new and all, why not show me around!?" She quickly requested.

This instantly got Kiba's full attention. "Really! That's awesome!" He got out with a excitable tone. "Wait until the other find out I actually scored with a hot babe!" He got out in excitement.

"Excuse me, but I'm not a price." Tayuya then remarked with an eye twitch. "I'LL RIP YOUR FUCKIN' DICK YOU ASSHOLE!" She then added in her mind.

"Huh?" Kiba got out as he then thought of what he just said. "Oh! Sorry! It wasn't like that! It's just I get so shit on because my friends always say I would never get a date with a single girl is all!" He then admitted.

"What did you peep on girls in the bath house and fail at it or something?" Tayuya then remarked with a smirk.

"Arf!" Akamaru replied with a nod.

". . ." Tayuya was left speechless at that.

"AKAMARU!" Kiba shouted as he was betrayed from his best friend and partner.

Tayuya meanwhile was forcing to smile at that as internally she was furious. "I CAN'T FUCKIN' BELIEVE I HAVE TO SPEND TIME LET ALONE A FUCKIN' DATE WITH THIS PERVETED BRAT! ONCE I'M DONE HERE IN THIS FUCKIN' PLACE, I'M GOING TO SHOVE A KUNAI UP KABUTO'S ASS FOR FORCING ME TO COME!" She roared in her mind.

"D-Don't believe what he says! He's just messing around!" Kiba quickly stated as he gave a quick glare at the puppy. "RIGHT!?" He asked his partner.

Said partner just let out a sigh. "Arf. . ." Akamaru simply agreed.

"See!? Well how about we go on that date now?" Kiba quickly said as he extended his arm towards Tayuya.

Said girl was using every ounce of her willpower not to explode and break the arm of the boy that was in front of her as she continued to smile. "Sure. . ." She calmly replied as she forced her hand to gently grab her hand.

Kiba slightly wince at the girl tightly gripping his hand. "Wow! You got a good grip there." He complimented as he began to take her to cool places to go on their date.

Tayuya simply smiled calmly as she simply let the boy lead her as her mind was anything but calm. "FUCKIN' HELL!" She swore in her mind.

With the youngest of the Viper Squad. . .

Yami and Nina had entered first to the bathroom of their inn room as the younger girl really need to take one.

"Nene Yami-chi," Nina cutely started. "This is a bathtub right?" She then asked as she pointed to the object in mention.

In response, the silver/blue haired girl couldn't help but giggle in response while holding back the surprise of the wild girl knowing stuff like that. "Why yes it is." She answered.

"Oooooh!" Nina got out in amazement as her cat ear like hair pieces wagged with curiosity.

Yami giggled some more to this as she headed into the bathroom and turned on the water, causing the wild girl to jump back in surprise.

"Wow! Water did come out!" Nina exclaimed in shock and more amazement as she watched the tub fill up and hot steam rising.

"Yes it did." Yami responded with a nod. "Have you ever taken a bath before?" She then asked with curiosity.

In response, Nina shook her head negatively to that. "Nope!" She happily replied.

To hearing that, it took a large amount of Yami's willpower to not face fault to that. "How does she know what a bathtub is, but not what a bath is?" She questioned to herself.

"I wanna get in!" Nina declared as she quickly took her dress off and hopped into the tub.

SPLASH!

"Sure, go ahead." Yami simply replied after the girl had already is the tub while a sweat drop ran down her face.

Then the samurai kunoichi began to be curious about the girl. "Say Nina, how long have you been in Iwa?" She then questioned.

Nina tilted her head to that as water dripped off her. "I-wa? What's that?" She asked in a confused and innocent manner.

Yami once more nearly face faulted at the question. "Wait, you been here for so long and you don't know the name of this nation?" She then asked.

Nina's cat ears perked up to that, even though she was wet from the bath. "Oh! Nation is a big big land right!?" She asked with a cheerful tone.

Yami once again nearly face faulted to the answer. "You know what a nation is but you don't know the names like Konoha?" She asked.

Nina once again tilted her head to that. "Ko-no-ha?" She cutely asked with confusion in her tone.

Yami merely sighed to that in response. "Nevermind. . ." She simply said.

Nina tilted her head yet again before she smiled brightly and began to play in the water.

Yami then began to wonder how Nina's mind works. "How exactly could it be that she know basic things such as tubs and nations, but does not know the names of locations that our known all over the world?" She thought to herself.

"Nene, are you going to get in too Yami-chi?" Nina then innocently asked with sparkling eyes.

Yami's train of thought soon ended to hearing that as she looked at the innocent looking child. "Umm. . ." She got out. "Well. . ." She awkwardly added.

Nina then tilted her head as her eyes then looked like they were gonna tear up. "You don't wanna?" She then innocently and sadly asked.

This made the young swordswoman eye to twitch. "C-Cute. . ." She thought to herself as she then let out a sigh. "Very well. . ." She replied as she all took off her clothing and the two got into bath together.

"Ooooh. . ." Nina then got out in amazement at the girl's body. "Your really big too!" She exclaimed in happiness.

"N-Not really, they're normal size." Yami awkwardly corrected.

Nina then tilted her head innocently to that. "What's wrong Yami-chi? Don't you like your breasts?" She soon asked.

Yami flinched at the innocent question. "I-It's not that, I'm just stating the simple facts is all." She stated.

"Oh." Nina replied as she looked down at herself. "I hope I become big someday, big like yours or Anko-chi's!" She declared. "And to be just as pretty!' She then added with a wide grin.

"W-What may come will come. . ." Was all Yami had to say on the subject. "Wait. . .you think I'm pretty?" She then asked.

"Hai! You have such a pretty face and pretty hair too!" Nina exclaimed with child like wonder.

To the complement, Yami honestly couldn't help but smiled kindly. "Thank you Nina-chan, I appreciate that." She admitted as she gently pet the girl on the head to which said girl like a lot. "And your pretty adorable." She then replied.

Nina began to giggle at the touch as her ears move playfully, much to the ever wonder of the sliver/blue hair girl. "Thanks!" She replied as she then leaned her head to the other girl's side. "Hey Yami-chi?" She then started.

"Hmm?" Yami replied.

Nina then looked up towards the the silver haired girl. "Could you be my big sister?" She innocently asked.

To hearing that request, Yami was left baffled by this. "Huh!?" She got out with a bewildered tone.

Nina then innocently looked at the other girl. "Well, I always wanted a big sister. . ." She admitted as her hand touched the other girl's hand.

Yami then looked at the girl's honesty and innocence as as she looked at her big black eyes. "But don't you consider your animal friends as siblings?" She then asked.

Nina nodded in response to that as she looked at the water in front of her. "Yeah. . .but they're more like little sisters. . .I always been the big sister, so I always wondered what's it like to have one. . ." She revealed.

Yami's eye twitched as her face nearly cringed from having the urge to squeal from how adorable the girl was. "SO CUTE!" She exclaimed in her mind from the overload of how cute she was. So, she just decided to embrace the brown haired girl in a hug. "Sure Nina-chan, I'll be your big sister." She replied in a kind tone.

To hearing that, Nina's eyes watered slightly as she smiled happily. "Yay! I have an Onee-chi now!" She exclaimed in happiness as she returned the hug before the two continued taking their bath.

Though strangely enough, Nina's hair stayed the same the entire time with her hair looking like they were cat ears.

Outside the hotel. . .

Three pairs of eye were looking at the hotel as they slowly began to look for a way in.

"So what's the plan?" A wild sounding voice asked.

"Yeah! What's the plan? What's the plan?" A carefree sounding voice asked twice.

The leader of them looked at all of the entrances, windows and exit it could used to enter. "Where's the fun in that if we follow a plan?" A calm yet elegant sounding voice simply said.

"It would be more fun if we know what we're supposed to do!" The wild one retorted.

"More fun! More fun!" The carefree tone agreed.

After looking for a few moments before it finally located a perfect entry way. "Oh, very well. . ." She replied as she began to whispered in the ears of the shadows.

This made the wild one smirked with glee while showing its sharp teeth. "I like it!" It said with an exciting tone.

"Like it! Like it!" The carefree agreed.

The leader also smirked to that. "I thought you would. . ." She smoothly said as she then turned at the two. "So~ Are you ready for some chaos~" She asked the two.

"Yeah!" The two replied as the three vanished in incredible speeds.

Meanwhile in Anko and Kurama's room. . .

The disguised Tailed Beast was in completely and totally stupefied stated at what the snake mistress had just said.

"You want me to what?" Kurama deadpanned in confusion, as a leakage of blood came out of his nose to the order as he sat on the bed.

Anko meanwhile was in the shower to wash up since it was too small to hold two people. "You heard me Kyū-chan," She began as she smirked perversely while washing her hair. "I want to try out a lesbian night together." She replied.

Kurama then took a deep breath to that as he looked at the bathroom door while steam came out of it. "Ok. . .I admit, the idea turns me on like you have no idea and definitely won't not say no to it, but where did the idea come from?" He then asked.

Anko only giggled amusingly at that as she then smirked in a seductive manner. "Kyū-chan, did you forget that I'm biasexual~?" She teasingly questioned.

"Hell no! How could I!?" Kurama replied in excitement. But then he controlled himself as he recalled something. "But before that Anko-chan, how do you feel about the new brat?" He then questioned in a serious tone.

To hearing that, Anko turned off the water as she looked at the wall. "Well besides her being adorable and innocent. . .she reminds me of myself in a way." She admitted while grabbing a towel.

Kurama knew that the woman didn't want to be completely being honest, but he didn't want to push the subject. "Alright, as long as your ok with her being on your team then I'm cool with it." He playfully stated.

Anko just giggled once more to that. "Remember, you were the one that basically recruited her for me." She reminded.

"Like you didn't want her for yourself." Kurama joked as he rub his sore nose. "Especially when the girl has both unique powers and decent skills." He then added.

"Possibly from surviving in the forest like she did." Anko then stated. "Though that really doesn't explain where she got those powers or if she had then from the beginning. . ." She then added.

Kurama nodded to that as he agreed with the statement. "That's the annoying part of having amnesia. . .we won't know if it's a bloodline or something else entirely." He remarked.

"Well we'll deal with that back at Konoha, anyways. . ." Anko began as she seductively walked towards Kumara. "And after our fun night. . ." She stated with a seductive tone.

The human Bijū could only smirked widely at this as he completely agreed with the idea. "Well then better prepare for a wild time." He started. "Because even if I'm in my own Sexy Jutsu, I won't hold back." He declared with a bragging and perverted tone.

The water soon turned off as Anko got out and started to dry off. "Bring it on Kyū-chan, bring it on." She seductively replied.

"Oh~ Trust me. . .it's be wild!" Kurama declared as he made the transformation seal.

POOF!

As Anko was surrounded by the smoke after entering the main room, she close slightly her eyes as she waved her hand to get rid of the smoke.

Clank!

The sound of hard shoes echoed as inside of the smoke, a figure began to strut slowly towards the purple haired jonin. "It's time to show you what I got." A mature, feminine and demanding voice started as they purred a little.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The steps continued to echo as the figure continued to get closer and closer. As it did, Anko could now see some aspects of it shadow, the figure was obviously female, but what she did notice was the sensual way she was walking. She had huge hips as they swayed from side by side with each step she took while her hand swer on her hips.

"K-Kyū-chan?" Anko got out as she unintentionally dropped her towel.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The figured had finally reached the end of the smoke as her feet were only thing that was out of the smoke. Said feet had a red open toe shoes while her legs was completely exposed.

Anko unvolatery gulped at the sight. "Oh. . .my. . .kami. . ." She breathed out.

The smoke then slowly became less dense as it showed who it was. Her hair was blood red, long, spiky and wild as it went down to her back. Her eyes were blood red like her hair with a fox like silt while her face was one of a mature and seductive woman as her lips were luscious.

She had a very provocative dress as it was a sparkling red dress that only covered the front of her front around her massive Tsunade size chest to the back of her succulent rear. It had a wide open part on her sides of her legs to be able to show them off. The final part of her outfit was that she wore long rubber like gloves that almost reached her shoulders.

The personification of lust and temptation then moved her hair from her face in a provocative manner. "Well? Anko-chan?" She questioned with a seductive tone.

The purple haired woman who was being questioned merely looked on, eyes dead from excitement and lust at the sight in front of her. "Oh. . .my. . .kami. . ." She repeated once more.

This caused the female shape Bijū to grin at the reaction. "I'll take that as a yes then." She guessed while she temptingly wagged her finger. "Come to me." She soon ordered in a lustful manner while licking her lips.

In a hypnotic manner, Anko did as she as she was ordered. "Hai. . .Kyū-chan. . ." She got out with a slight dazed tone.

Kyū-chan smirked to that as she stroked her hand across her mate's body in a teasing manner. "My Anko-chan, I gave you want you desired and now you are in a lust filled daze over me. . ." She commented with an amused tone before she grinned as she grabbed her and tilted her chin upward. "Excellent. . ." She declared.

Anko began to pant a bit as her face was flushed from the actions. ". . .Kyū-chan. . .beautiful. . ." She then got out.

The female disguised Bijū then caressed the woman's cheek. "Same to you my dear Anko-chan." She replied in a seductive manner before an idea came. "Help me strip." She then ordered.

To hearing the order given, Anko dumbly nodded in response to that as she slowly started to take off the gloves. "Beautiful. . ." She once more declared as she kissed one of woman's exposed hands while the gloves vanished on the ground.

"Oh~ Come on. . .your acting like how the Hyuga used to be with being all shy like that~" Kyū-chan teased with an amused tone.

Anko's eye twitch a bit at that, but she merely kept going as she went down and removed the shoes on the woman. "I want you. . ." She admitted while panting heavily and became sweaty.

"As do I. . ." Kyū-chan replied while licking her licking her lips some more. "I'm going to enjoy this. . ." She added.

Anko's face then changed as her normal flirty expression returned and then started to stand up as she wrapped her arms around the red haired woman while trying to undo the dress. "Who says that only you will?" She stated with a flirty tone.

Kyū-chan merely giggled to that. "Back to normal, huh? My dear." She guessed with a smirk.

Anko in turn nodded to that. "Yeah. . .but damn your hot as fucking hell!" She exclaimed in excitement. "So? What inspired your beauty?" She then asked as their breasts pressed against each others.

This made the female shape Bijū grin seductively and a hint of pride. "Well let's just say my time with my girls wasn't just for fun." She hinted. "I had seen and been with many different beauties and I took the best of each one to make what you see here." She explained.

Anko grinned to hearing that as she found the zipper. "And your funbags?" She teasingly asked while pressing further in as she slowly started undoing the dress.

"Well. . .being on the receiving end of a certain busty blond fist wasn't for nothing, if you know what I mean." Kyū-chan admitted with a grin. "So I guess this passes in your book?" She then questioned.

Click!

With the last unzipping of the personification of lust dress, it fell to the floor and vanished while letting Anko see the closest thing to a goddess's body as humanly possible.

Instantly, Anko's nose began to heavily bleed as her eyes were completely focused on said goddess's body. "Please for the love of all things take me. . ." She practically begged in a whisper.

Not need to be told twice, Kyū-chan smirked with full lust as she snatched the snake mistress's lips and began to make out in heated passion as they fell onto the bed.

Back in the room of the Younger Viper Squad members. . .

SPLASH!

Yami and Nina got off of the tub as they threw some water onto the floor. Then Yami began to dry the younger girl's haired hair.

Once Nina's hair was completely dry, she cutely shook her head as it made the same hair cat-like ears on her head to appear once more. "Nene Yami-oneechi." Nina got out as she looked at the silver/blue haired girl. "Can we do this more?" She innocently asked with her eyes sparkling as her ears twitch excitedly.

Yami in response only smiled softly at this. "Of course we can if you like." She simply added as her eyes moved towards the ears. "How is that even possible?" She thought with fascination.

Nina was about to jump for joy before her ears perked up as she sensed something. "Uh oh!" She got out in surprise.

To seeing this, Yami gave off a concerned expression. "Nina? What's Wro-?" Was all she could go out when suddenly she saw movement coming from the window on top of the bath.

CRASH!

The window bust open as the glass when flying everywhere as three blurs came through it.

"KYA!" Both girls screamed in shock.

Back in the other room. . .

As things were getting heated up between Anko and Kyū-chan. . .

CRASH!

"KYA!" The sound of the younger members of Team Viper could be heard.

"AH WHAT THE HELL!?" Kurama exclaimed in annoyance. "What the-!?" Kyū-chan got out.

"YAMI! NINA!" Anko shouted with a nervous tone as she jumped out of the bed and burst through the door as she headed towards the next room where the girls were staying.

"Damn!" Kyū-chan got out as she followed right behind the startled purple haired jonin.

Back to the next door. . .

CRASH!

The door of the younger girls were sent flying across the room.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Anko and Kyū-chan exclaimed in unison.

"Stop!" A towel cladded Yami shouted as she was running across the room trying to catch a familiar red baby chick.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!" A playful Ori got out as she continued to fly around the room.

"No! Bad bad Okki-chi!" A naked Nina then shouted as she tried to catch the playful black wolf cub that was jumping on the bed.

"ARF! ARF!" Said wolf cub happily barked out.

Both Anko and Kyū-chan meanwhile watch this with complete and total stupefied look on their faces.

"Meow~" A familiar meowing was soon heard beside the two women.

Anko turned her head and saw that it was the white tiger cub who watched everything with a satisfied expression.

Ora then turned and gave the snake mistress a shit eating smirk that covered almost all of her face. "Don't ever separate us from Nina again or this will happen." She thought to herself. "Meow~" She then added as she pointed a the chaos inside the room.

"Arf arf!" Okki barked out happily.

"Okki-chi!" Nina shouted as she tried and failed again to catch the jumping wolf cub.

CRASH!

"CHIRP! CHIRP!" Ori got out after she bumped into a expensive looking jar and break it.

"Careful!" Yami shouted as she too failed to catch the baby chick.

"How. . .did they get in?" Anko questioned in confusion.

"A better question is: How can those two can't catch them?" Kyū-chan then asked. "Yami's a kunoichi for the love a kami!" She then added.

"Ahem. . ." A stern voice got out.

To hearing that, both Anko and Kyū-chan turned and saw the person who had cough was none other than the Hotel's manager, though he slightly had a bleeding nose.

"Shit. . ." The two older members swore out.

The manager eyes were tightly shut as he was furious. "Care to explain why two doors are busted and one room has animals?" He questioned as he desperately trying to hold back his fury before he then pointed outside. "And can someone explain why most of my guest are unconscious while in pools of their own blood!?" He roared in anger.

To hearing that, everyone in the room turn and saw that both man and female were indeed unconscious while swimming in their own blood via nosebleeds.

"Meow~" Ora got out as she pointed at Anko and Kyū-chan.

"Huh?" Both woman got out in unison.

"Meow!" Ora suddenly got out. "Let's go!" She mentally ordered.

And now added insult to injury Okki and Ori suddenly stopped and then made their getaway out the busted window leaving the chaotic remains of a once clean room.

CRACK!

The sound of another expensive looking jar breaking soon follow.

". . ." Everyone but Nina were left speechless as they watch the small animals leave and left them to suffer.

Nina however giggled innocently to that. "Ora-chi's really smart and she, Okki-chi and Ori-chi doesn't like ever leaving my side." She revealed while her ears wagged.

This in turn caused the others to palm their faces. "That's not what we want to know Nina. . ." Was all Anko had to say.

The manager's eye meanwhile twitched at all the destruction and insanity that happened. "What I want right now is. . .FOR ALL OF YOU TO PAY FOR ALL OF THE DAMAGES, GET DRESSED AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOTEL!" He roared his order with pure fury.

After that, all of the Viper Squad members and Kurama got dressed. While Anko was forced to pay up for all of the damages, then after being booted out of the hotel they were forced to sleep in the forest as all but the innocent Nina were ready to filley three mischievous animals. However they were saved by the fact that they were to tired for it.

"I'm going to skin that cat alive. . ." A pair of murderous Anko and Kurama thought with fury.

As if reading the two's thoughts, the white tiger cub smirked with a bit of superiority. "Meow~" Ora got out as she and her companions sleep comfortably next to Nina.

Back in the Land of Tea. . .

It was nearly sunrise as the sounds of fireworks could be heard in a festival like manner. There many many people as the two runners from both the Wasabi and the Wagarashi were getting ready to begin the race.

"Wow, I didn't think it was going to be this big." Naruto commented with an amazed tone. "But what kind of race is this anyway?" He then asked.

Hinata then took out a scroll as she then opened it. "Here are the details for the race. The starting point is Degarashi Port. after that you will head for the Modoroki Shrine which is the midway point of the race." She began to explain.

Naruto nodded to that, but then realized something. "Ok, but then how the hell are we getting way over there?" He asked.

"By boat Naru-kun." Satsuki answered.

"Oh. . ." Naruto simply got out.

Hinata giggle at that as she looked at the scroll once more. "Once there, each runner will take one of the two Ryuko's jewels from the Modoroki Shrine and will then dedicate that jewel at the Todoroki Great Shrine on the island of Ouzu." She then explained.

"Sound easy enough." Naruto commented.

"Other than that, the runners can used things such as shortcuts, obstructions and even secret maneuvers are all allowed in the race." Hinata concluded her explanation.

"Even the usage of shinobis." Satsuki stated as she then realized what it could mean. "So the target that Neji's team is after should be with the other team's side." She then added.

"Hai, there are probably hiding around the crowd to either attack or help out the other runner." Hinata theorized.

"Then I guess we need to be on the alert then." Satsuki simply stated as she looked at her shield and making sure it was ready for any situation.

"You guys can just relax and watch." Idate told the trio. "Don't follow me around!" He added.

"What was that asshole!?" Naruto asked with an irritated tone.

"I'm saying I don't want an impediment." Idate declared.

"Ok! I had it with you!" Naruto shouted as he was ready to beat the one they were suppose to protect.

Hinata quickly stopped the blond before he did what he wanted. "Naruto-kun please, we need to work together to win this race." She pleaded.

"Not with a guy like this!" Both Naruto and Idate declared in unison.

Satsuki and Hinata couldn't help but giggle at that. "Despite them being angry at each other their on the same wavelength." Satsuki told Hinata via mental link.

"That is pretty true." Hinata agreed.

Suddenly a speaker was turned on. "All right everyone! The Todoroki Great Shrine Race will start soon!" The person announce.

This instantly made everyone on the area to get excited, however up on the roof tops Team Nine and Kin were looking at anything suspicious that would lead towards their target.

"No sign of him. . ." Kin started.

"Yeah, he hid himself well." Tenten pointed out while preparing her Hidden Blade and Phantom Blade.

Neji nodded in response to that as he looked on. "Just be calm for now, he will appear." He advised.

"YOSHA! I WILL SHOW MY FLAMES OF YOUTH AGAINST THIS VILLAIN OF KONOHA!" Lee declared, over excited with the event, causing his teammates minus Kin to sigh in exhaustion.

Soon enough, the four then vanished to keep their presence hidden.

"Wasabi Family's runner, Idate Morino!" The announcer announced the boy.

Said boy only raised a hand as many people began to cheer for him, this also included the Boss of the Wasabi as well.

"Hmm. . .Morino. . ." Hinata repeated in a mutter.

"Wagarashi Family's runner, Fukusuke Hikyakuya!" The announcer then announced the other runner.

The young man raised his fist as he shouted at this as most of the Wagarashi and few others applauded, more so from fear than respect.

Both runners then stood in front of the huge closed gates.

"On you mark!" The announcer declared.

Then both runners got into their positions as the gates opened. Everyone remained quiet as they waited for the race to begin.

Once the gates were fully opened, everyone saw that two boats on the port as they saw a clear vision of the ocean.

Then Idate's eyes narrow as he looked at the sky, he was the clouds gently moving towards their direction, this made him grin.

No sooner this happened, when the sun finally rose from the distance.

"Start!" The announcer declared.

No sooner he said this, both runners ran as fast as they could towards the gates.

"All right! We're going too!" Naruto declared with excitement.

"Hai!" Both Hinata and Satsuki declared in unison.

However just as Naruto took a single step forward, his eyes widen. "WHAT THE HELL!?" He shouted in disbelief

The girls turn and saw what made the blond shout like that. The moment that Idate had crossed the gates, he made a left turn and began to run along the port.

The trio instantly went after the boy. "Is he running away!?" Satsuki exclaimed, not believing what she saw.

"Where are you going, Idate-san!?" Hinata asked just as confused at the others.

"Hey! Wait!" Naruto called out.

The other runner finally took notice of this and looked at Idate with a confused expression on his face. "Wh-What is he doing. . .?" He thought with a baffled tone.

However despite all of this, Idate just kept smirking as he continued running along the coast.

Back in the Land of Tea with the runners starting point. . .

Three men approached a dark green hair man.

What should we do, Aoi-sama?" One of the man asked the green hair man.

The green haired man merely smirked in response. "I'll go with Fukusuke." He simply stated as he turn his head to the man. "You go after Idate." He then ordered.

"Right!" The three man replied in unison as they and Aoi disappeared via Shushin.

Aoi went towards his respective runner while the three man towards Idate's direction.

Elsewhere in the crowd. . .

Neji, Lee, Tenten and Kin had listened in on the discussion as they watched the four disappeared.

The Hyuga took out the bingo book and looked at the man that had taken the Second's blade. "It appears to be the same man." Neji announced as he then put away the book.

"Yosh! Then it seems as though we have finally found our target." Lee pointed out.

"Hai, it's time to take down this traitor." Kin responded in agreement and a nod.

"Then we should head out and follow him, remember the formation for capture." Neji then ordered.

"Got it." Tenten responded.

With a group nod, the group followed towards Aoi's direction.

With Team Seven following Idate. . .

The trio was chasing after the running Idate as he was getting further and further away from the port.

"Hey, Idate!" Naruto called out. "Where they heck are you going!? The ocean is that way idiot!" He added.

"Where are you going!? The race had already started!" Satsuki asked.

Idate just scuffed at the questions. "There's no way I'm going back!" He declared as he continued running.

Meanwhile at the ocean, Fukusuke was already in his boat as it was heading towards the first area of the race.

Then the runner looked at the shore where he was Idate running further away from im. "What does that kid think he'd going?" Fukusuke wonder out loud.

Aoi who was steering the boat just smirked. "Looks like he's run away." He simply commented. "Idate's been like that from long ago." He then added with a knowing tone.

This got Fukusuke's attention. "You know him?" He asked with a curious tone.

Aoi smirked at that. "Yes, kind off. . ." He simply replied as he turn to look at Idate and then behind as he felt people chasing them from a safe distance from them. "Looks like we have company." He thought to himself with an amused tone.

Dude these chapter lengths are fucking insane... you have my utmost respect for being able to write that much... this whole chapter is longer than my 9 chapter story...

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! And don't feel bad if your chapters aren't that long, they usually do over time when your writing! Just be sure to keep at it!

F2P: Yeah! It took us a while to get the hang of it, but here's a little tip, when writing, try to add little details, this will help the readers visualize what is happening. This will help not only get more into the story but also lengthen you chapters by A LOT! Trust me on that! XD Now for my review by Leaf Ranger!

So Satsuki got a new shield back, we see a lot of bonding, very awesome. and soon the Sakura retrieval arc is about to begin. Maybe. We'll see. But for now, we have the thing with that Aoi guy or whatever his name was. Pansy a$$ easy to bring down jerk.

Overall, great chapter. Very awesome work. Can't wait to see more. *huggles Tayuya, hoping she remains alive* .

Glad that you like the shield! This was such an epic equipment for Satsuki to have! :D Yup, the infamous Retrieval Arc is a bit ahead, but don't worry it's coming. :D And well Aoi isn't much of a villain, BUT he IS necessary for what's to come. What that is you asked? Well. . .Not telling~ XD And as for Tayuya. . .We'll see~ :D
