The roman soldier seemed to be thinking about something as he approached the two of us, Dai stepped in front of me as I whispered," If he could kill my father, who is a High Kage level shinobi then he could very well kill you. So don't do anything stupid."

Dai snorted but spun a kunai around his finger as the roman questioned," How strong are the two of you and what is your rank?"

Remaining silent until Dai stated," I am an S ranked shinobi, an Elite Jounin of Iwagakure the village of stone you defeated. "

"Jounin of the hidden leaf," I carefully responded," I am a High A ranked kunoichi. Weaker than Dai and apparently some of the other shinobi you captured."

He stepped forward again," I see, my name is Praetor Lucas or rather the Commanding Officer of the Legion you have been fighting. Please follow me. Leave your weapons here."

Narrowing my eyes I looked at my standard katana and gently put it on the ground, taking my kunai pouch I dropped it on the ground and when he turned his back I flung a kunai with High Jounin speeds while he spun around, his sword slashing upwards cutting the kunai in half. My sharingan spinning as I took notice he had a barrier of wind surrounding him. Barely visible.

Smiling lightly at figuring it out while Dai looked at me stunned as the Roman named Lucas looked at me confused as I took the rest of my gear off, standing practically unguarded and defenseless for the first time in years as he growled," Why did you throw that at me girl?"

"Call it curiosity," I responded easily as Dai signaled to me asking why I did it.

Responding with a quick set of hand signals,' He uses wind as a sensory barrier, not chakra related, it allows him to sense anything that enters the perimeter.'

Dai nodded while the Roman warned," Don't do it again."

"Wasn't going to," I smiled lightly despite what was going on, I had a way to kill him when the time came.


He continued to lead us for some time while Dai snorted," I hate to admit it but your troops are well trained."

The roman glanced backwards," We also don't allow children to fight like her."

My eye twitched while I let out a growl," I might be sixteen I still have plenty of blood on my hands Roman."

He spun around walking towards me as he drew his sword," Well now. How much of that blood is roman blood?"

Dai had his hands in a hand sign," Not as much as my hands. After all I took out over a thousand of your men yesterday during the final battle of Iwagakure."

The roman glanced at Dai," True, but I think my men that died will be more annoyed to have died to a woman. Especially a girl."

"Sexist pig," I spat not concerned of the blade at my throat," Also you very well could have been another dead roman."

A flash of blue flames causing my form to vanish, while I stood on the tree overhead, his eyes widened," H-how?!"

"I am an Uchiha, and a master of Genjutsu you made the error of looking into my eyes which is a book no-no in the shinobi world," I explained rather lightly jumping down while Dai muttered," I didn't even sense the genjutsu either. How Miyuki does it I will never know."

"She explained it once to me. She creates a field of water vapor condensed with her chakra similar to Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique), so she senses what actually goes on and can still target the main body, I end up having to actually use my sharingan against her. This one I didn't use my sharingan," I finished my explanation rather simply.

Dai muttered," Clever brats."

The Roman seemed to agree," For once I agree with the shinobi. You do know what is going to happen right? Both of you are slaves, out of respect for your fighting spirit however, like I told your friends you can keep wearing those clothes until we depart then you will be stripped."

Tensing up as fear gripped my body, as adrenaline begun to pump through me while Dai muttered," Shocking, Usagi what did that letter say?"

I knew what he was trying to do and I was thankful for that, thinking back I sighed," Basically saying who or what my mother is. Something about her being the roman primordial goddess of night."

I took notice of the roman in front of us stiffening while I questioned," You know something don't you."


The roman completely ignored me when we entered a camp when he suddenly ordered," Put your hands in front of you."

Doing so immediately while he turned towards us and locked to chains onto our wrists. The cuffs didn't even allow us to separate our wrists, not only that they were connected together while Dai muttered a long string of swear words while the roman yanked the chains forward. Following him until he led us to a tent and opened the flap. I heard Tatsu's voice yell," What do you want now roman!"

He yanked us in as Miyuki looked at me as she gently stood up, and I had a feeling she knew I had placed a genjutsu on myself to stop myself from losing control and breaking down completely. Around each of their neck was a silver collar and I had feeling those blocked our chakra completely.

Tatsu smiled lightly at me as Dai snorted when Mai chuckled," Well we are all here. Hello Usagi, Dai, pleasure you can join us in this hell."

Praetor Lucas commanded," Go sit down on the ground. First."

I felt him move my hair out of the way when I felt him close a metal collar around my neck. The feeling of chakra vanished and without it I felt extremely defenseless. I felt the genjutsu I placed on myself vanish immediately as I took a shaky breath looking down and tried to force myself not to cry.

Moving over to Miyuki I sat down beside her while she sighed, pulling me into her and whispered," Your alright Usagi."

Breaking down I immediately started to cry silently as Dai rose a brow," So she placed a genjutsu on herself all the way back then. When she first read her father's last letter."

Tears rolled down my face as Mai whispered when I felt her chained hand touch my back," What do you expect she is only sixteen, and a chunin at that but-"

Dai interrupted," She is a Jounin like us. She was promoted."

Tatsu chuckled," About time, it would be better if this never happened, wait does that mean that Usagi is a High A ranked borderline S ranked nin?"

Miyuki snarled," Yes, now shut up."
