"Stupid whip." I mumbled to myself.
I spent all morning working on it, finally it was staying in form but it was floppy, trying to flick it it did not work or do any damage just swooshed with no real force, I tried to move the water like my fist but I could even feel how wrong that felt even if it failed. With no real teacher I need to figure this out myself.
I just stared at it.
Focusing on my chakra the best I could, I was so focused trying to harden it that it was all I was paying attention to when Kakashi landed in front of me so fast I was incredibly startled.
The shock of him to my system made my whip harden as it went completely out straight.
I blankly stared at his face and he blankly stared back for a few seconds.
"Huh." A small smirk slowly crossed my face. "Well I guess I'm happy to see you." He just spun on the spot hands in his pockets and started to walk away.
"Aw come on that was funny." I yelled at after him with a smile. "What did he want anyway?" I said quietly.
He was suddenly behind me I could feel the intimidation wafting off of him, giving a side glance he had his fake eye smile while leaning towards my shoulder.
"The Hokage has a mission for you."
He vanished and after a second I could not hold back my giggles as I looked at my hard whip, I tried to whip it but now it was to hard, I did notice how I accidently pushed it into it making me try and drain some chakra watching as it started to get floppy again.
I snapped it as It dug into the grass and ripped it up with the famous sound causing a large smile on my face.
I did it!
Finally understanding how to move my chakra in it correctly, I was done and headed straight to the Hokage.
I stood between Kakashi and Hayashi as I looked between them before my eye's landed on Tsunade who sat behind her desk. I am interested in what mission would brake my arrest and be with these two.
"We got some information that a tower just somewhere near the ocean in the lightning country that has been collecting information on all the dead body's from your world." My heart sped up, something about home making me step forward interested.
"I said I would send you." She looked at me. "So you three and Iruka will be going, you all know about this area already and keep it quiet." I was feeling nervous and excited even if the two next to me showed no emotion, confusing me, I figured Hayashi would at least be interested.
"The fact they found you, they must have much more information then we do." She sighed. "And Yamanaka got the tower from our friend that stalked you."
Iruka will be free within the hour and Kakashi will lead us, we will go through the land of hot water and take a boat up the coast towards the tower.
I was confused at the name of 'Land of hot water' they are not very artistic when it comes to names of these places. I was to get ready for a possibility of a few weeks, depending on factors so I moved and got ready before I went to grab some food where I found Hayashi ahead of me in line, I watched him put meat inside a new kind of scroll before he noticed me in line.
He then waited for me by the door. "What's with the new scroll?" I asked.
A big smile crossed his face at my confusion. "I made one where, hopefully, the meat will not go bad as easy and could last a long time." I was interested as I followed him out of the store. We moved to the meeting spot together and he just laid in the grass, I was glad to be on a mission with him again.
I did my hand signs and pulled out my whip as we wait, I was having issues getting it perfect again but after a minute or two I got it right as he watched me. I whipped it and it dug deep in the dirt destroying the grass much better then last time, I made a small noise in excitement.
"Cool." I looked over at Hayashi who was sitting legs crossed watching me. "When did you learn that?"
I looked at him with smile and whipped it again. "Just now." He looked happy for me.
"Now I got to learn how to wield this correctly, not sure how to." Ripping up some more grass again I was so happy.
He looked at me with a question. "It has been a while since we had a mission together hasn't it?"
I nodded. "I missed you and Kuro." He gave me a small kind smile.
"So, what is your goal with this?" As he stood up and came to help me.
We messed around with it until Iruka showed up. We sat in the grass chatting and I guess we all brought enough food to feed us all, so we are set on that. We may even gain weight.
Kakashi did not show up for an hour but I did not care, just hanging out with these two was nice when he appeared next to us, he is so fast. He gave us a small wave and his famous fake eye smile. "Sorry I am late, there was a squirrel stuck in a tree." We all just looked at him blankly.
Jumping on my feet. "Well so long as it's okay, I mean now he can go home in a different tree." I gave a smile as I dusted off my ass.
Gathering our things we headed to the gate. We did not slow down as we ran heading north, I was in bliss to be back out here, pushing away a need to yell out free at last.
I was glad to see I could keep up with there speed, unsure at how much slower they were really going.
We ran all day and I was glad to know I was only a little sore when we stopped for the night. I found it funny that none of us were hungry. We never made a fire and no one was on watch for some reason. I stared at the dark trees as I tried to sleep hearing many noises making me love the woods.
I heard wolves howl as the guys shifted around making me smile before I rolled over and tried to sleep.
I rubbed my face as I sat up before patting down my mess of a head. I am sure I was a mess right now as I pulled a twig from my hair. There was almost no morning light and the men were asleep so I quietly got up, shoved my bag in my scroll and moved to practice with my whip as kunai would be to loud.
I found a large branch at perfect height. I Tried to wrap it around the branch, I could get it to fly around it but it would just unravel. I made an annoyed noise as being able to wrap a person in it was my big goal at the moment. I was there a while trying as the sun started to fill up the darkness.
I felt Kakashi move around and I looked his way as he headed to me.
He looked me over, to the whip and then to the branch, understanding he nodded his head toward the branch to make me try again.
Being nervous the first one failed and did not wrap around but the second time I breathed in and I wrapped it around and we watched as it fall back down.
"Push chakra to make it hard when it wraps around." Looking at him feeling dumb at something sounding so simple. So I did it and it stayed, I was so interested I pushed more in and pulled tightly pulling, moving the branch only a little but it was a big branch.
"Thanks." I said with a small smile as I let it fall again before whipping the ground. "Finally." I have a lot to learn about it but now I can do that. I watched him walk away calmly and my eyes unintentionally back at his ass, I gave a small cheeky smile as I turned back to the branch and continued to do this until it felt natural or until everyone was awake.
Thankful to the random Kakashi moments that made this possible.
I started to question the best way to use this in battle, on what to practice with next. Well if I whip ankles I could easily slow someone down, I whipped it again as it dug up the earth.
Maybe use my water on my left arm and whip with my right or I could pull them in and then slash out?
Covering my arm with water, I noticed the issue. I can hold the whip and I can cover my arm at the same time but I can't spin or harden at the same time. I could only focus one at a time just like both hands for water. I sighed. "I will get this." I stared determined when I walked over to the group, they may be up soon.
I saw them passed out adorably, even if Iruka slightly snores. Kakashi was somewhere to the left heading this way, I waited until he was visible and I noticed his arms were filled with wood and quickly made a fire.
Hayashi sat up, his hair was naturally perfect before he smiled all excited and pulled out the meat scroll. Sniffing some meat he smiled as he moved to cook it for us. He seemed so happy when a scroll works. I moved to make some coffee as I pulled stuff from my scroll. "Best coffee maker in the village." Hayashi said making me smile and look up at him with friendly love.
Iruka suddenly sat up startled, we all looked at him as he looked around and noticed where he was, he rubbed his messy hair and his cute sleepy eyes came and sat around the fire.
We did not really chat before we cleaned up, put out the fire and started to run again. We ran all day with only a few breaks and I could feel it but I embraced it as it also felt so good until we ran to long and I had to push my annoyance into my feet so I don't annoy them wishing to stop but then the forest disappeared and we came to rolling fields.
I could see mountains in the distance, the wind was strong and cooling and we were surrounded by large farms and fields giving me an energy boost enjoying a place I never seen before. Hayashi told me they mostly grow potatoes here and we are in the land of hot springs.
We were heading to a hidden village along the ocean where many merchant ships dock. We will blend right in but since it is a stealth mission we are going to stay somewhere else then in the town not to far away. They took me to a secluded lake that was such another wonderful view.
I wondered over to lake but the water was freezing cold when I stuck my toe in it, so no swimming. Hayashi walked up next to me. "They have a ton of hot springs, all with different ways to heal you, but this is not one." Understanding me always.
The sun was going down in a nice pink sunset as we talked about my issue of not being able to do two things at once.
"But you can run on water and use your water arm right?" Nodding at him. "Focus on that how you do it and try from there." Again I was embarrassed at such a stupid simple solution. We walked mid lake and I pulled out my whip, the chakra under my feet like a second limb as it came so naturally to me now. He first helped me wield it for battle as I tried to knock Kunai from the air with it.
I started to get better feeling blessed for all the help these guys have given me as I watched this pretty man smile.
Then he made me bring up my water arm, I held them both in the same hand, trying to do them both at once. My stupid ass got confused at focusing so hard I fell into the water.
"Fuck me." I spoke loudly coming up for air, I was so cold. "I am just so stupid." I slightly laughed as he gave me his hand to help me back up. He laughed with me, the second I got on my feet I shuffled to the fire so cold, holding my hands over it.
"You need to get out of those clothes." Hayashi spoke walking up beside me.
"A gentleman would buy me dinner first." I joked, making him confused and Kakashi giggle, I kind of love his random giggle my eye's quickly landed on him before I looked back at Hayashi shaking my head to his innocence.
"I agree." Iruka said to me and I nodded knowing they were right so I moved near a large rock to hide and change. It was cold for a second before I felt warmer and I wondered back, the small fire lighting there faces as I found them in a serious discussion.
Hayashi's voice spoke loudly. "The sharks because you can run across the water."
"But they can still bite you easy, what you want is a fireball jutsu on the spiders." Iruka spoke with food in his mouth.
"Ya I would rather be in the cave, you did not say if they were dangerous ones." Kakashi interjected.
I held back a laugh walking slower to listen, the discussion was about would you rather be stuck in a cave with thousands of spiders or on an small island surround by hungry sharks.
"They might not bite you, but there is thousands of them." Hayashi said with anger. "They will be all over you, sharks you can avoid."
"But sharks move fast and you will be legless in a second." Iruka was getting into the fight, he looked at me. "Spiders or sharks." As I sat down.
"Sharks." I said.
"Sharks." Hayashi yelled pointing at me happy to agree with him, Iruka looked at me like I was crazy, it is two on two.
"I don't want spiders all over me, at least there is an island."
Iruka shook his finger. "No, you can't stay there forever, you will die."
"And I have chakra?" He nodded. "My chakra or can I have his." I pointed to Kakashi.
"Your's."
"Hmm, still sharks, I am better in water and have nothing to hurt all spiders at once."
We talked about that for far to long.
I was glad to smell the salty air of the ocean as we walked along a dock moving passed many large merchant ships finding our way to rent a ship. We got a decent sized one, big enough to hold a small escape canoe and small enough the four of us can work ourselves. I was shocked to find all of them knew how to work such a boat, these guys always amaze me.
Maybe I am just to easily impressed?
They taught me somethings about it as we moved with the boats out of the area, we followed some until we were far enough away and turned to head up the coast.
I leaned on the side and watched the amazing mountain view, they were so big and beautiful. "Definitely easily impressed." I mumbled to myself.
"Ya you are." Hayashi spoke back as he shuffled by me, making me smile.
We floated for a while when we found a small cove, nestled in the incredibly tall mountains and a small beach. It seemed like a good place to hide as the boat was nicely blocked by trees and cliffs. We had to run up a large cliff side before finding a small windy path heading farther up, some tree's were even almost growing sideways on this strange path as the air got colder, just shy of needing a cloak.
We moved so fast, I just followed these guys in silence when they all stopped suddenly, I slid to a stop slightly confused.
They walked like they were walking around an invisible wall. "It's a Fuuinjutsu barrier similar to mine." Hayashi said as he was bent down looking at something they all understood but I can't.
Looking deeply I think I started to see it.
From here however would could see a small tower at the tip of a mountain peak surrounded the tips of three more. We followed the wall and found a good way where there was a straight shot to it.
Hayashi squatted and dug around in a scroll, we all just watched. "Well when I finally was able to make one of these barriers, the same kind I made with you." He looked at me. "You were my muse and I made these." He handed them to me.
"I have tried it a lot and it works but I have to stick it to the ground, they can't see the scroll but they can see me." He handed them to me, I understood.
I ran in fast, Iruka making a noise the second I crossed the line, I smiled back at him seeing Kakashi also seemed startled. I placed them down as I moved making sure they were far but close enough to jump to with ease. I did that until we made it to the edge of the forest. After it was open with rolling sharp rocks and I may be spotted. I ran back to let them know I did it.
Hayashi did some hand signs as Kakashi seemed to pay attention to. A small flash of light, tiny enough to not be seen as he activated them.
We all waited a moment in silence to see if it worked without alerting anyone.
As we moved I was a failure as some spots were awkward to land on. "Why are you a genin?" Iruka asked Hayashi.
"Ya he has skills." I quietly spoke.
We watched from here and came up with a plan, Kakashi and I will go in alone while they stay here unless we get spotted.
I would place down scrolls and he would jump, he silently told me where to place them and we moved like a weird game of 'the floor is lava'. Together we easily avoided patrols and his chakra was hidden.
Landing on the roof, there was a small window below into a small dark closet, I placed one on the windowsill and one on the floor in the room. He landed next to me and we could barely move in here together almost being pressed to him, the man smelled really nice actually.
I looked at him noticing an issue with this plan.
He looked down on me seeing it too our faces to close, we can't just lay the scrolls around to be spotted.
It was like he read my mind and had the same thought, after a second he shifted pushing into me as he slapped on on each of his feet and then activated them. I gave him a look like 'why did we not do that before' I closed my eye's and watched waiting for an opening and we ran out.
It was exhilarating as we moved fast and free between small rooms and thin hallways. We moved with each other like we have done this before. We easily passed by a couple ninja's playing some kind of game with what looked like domino pieces.
We would slid into empty rooms when people would pass, moving down the tower.
We came across a door slightly ajar filled with scrolls. We slid inside, he did not shut it completely as there was a female not far away and it might make a noise but it was shut enough to move around.
The mid sized room had shelves of scrolls and a table of books in the middle.
We moved fast looking for keywords and tossed them into a scroll Hayashi made for this. I paused when the girl started to move, she headed our way making me lightly move Kakashi into the wall behind the door, I was pressed into him as she walked by. I heard a sigh, she closed the door completely and locked it. "Stupid ass never shuts it." She angrily said as she walked away.
We went straight back to finding scrolls.
We flipped through the books before we looked at each other with a silent understanding we found all we could.
I pulled out a shuriken and pressed on the lock with ease and opened it. Shutting my eye's he watched me before I saw a clear shot towards the room and back to the roof as he quietly waited. We moved back up quickly only pausing once and on our way back towards the others I removed all the scrolls I had left behind, they don't need to have them.
When we got to the others they were surprised at how fast we were and did not get caught and we headed back to the boat as Kakashi unstuck them from his shoes, Hayashi was interested in the way he used them but I could see he was sad he did not think of that.
Standing on top of the cliff my heart dropped when there was six ninjas sinking our boat, the main boat was completely in the water but our canoe was only half sunk hanging along the beach.
We need to fight but we can't hurt them.
They ran down at the same time. "Fire." Kakashi said, I can't do that as they each made a large fireball making all the ninja's hit the sand to not get burned. Not meaning to we split into to groups, One ran at Hayashi, knowing how he hates a close fight I slid in front of him slashing out making him back off and a second man joined him.
Hayashi tossed down a scroll I recognized, the shadow grab one. Understanding I ran towards them as their feet got grabbed, I blocked the weapons thrown at me as I slid in close with wire and ran around her, trapping her as the other one got unstuck and ran to his friends.
Making me turn and watch as Kakashi and Iruka had a few tied up and the last of them all stood in some kind of formation.
Hayashi moved to them and I ran to the canoe, doing what I do with my water I pulled it up my arm and let it fall onto the sand as I slowly started to make it rise from the water. I then started to push it into the ocean, it was small but big enough to hold us comfortably. I shoved it far in the freezing water almost to my waist before getting in it, Hayashi and Iruka ran my way over it and jumped in as Kakashi held them back.
I wish I ran over the water.
We started to get some space when Kakashi landed on the back tip and then made a wave from his mouth, I watched as it shoved us away and was impressed that that was how a real water wave looks. It did make some splash into us getting the men a little wet like me.
Once it subsided we were far from the shore they were just tiny people.
"Nice wave." I mumbled as I shifted to the other side for room.
"Ya easily impressed." Hayashi joked as he also moved.
"Well a stealth mission did not go as planned." Iruka spoke.
"That wont start a war right?" I asked nervous.
"They attacked you first." Kakashi spoke calmly while still the only one standing. "We did not hurt them, they might not know why we were there."
Splitting up to sit around the canoe for balance.
Kakashi was at the back and sometimes boosted us with wind jutsu's, we did move slow even with it.
I leaned with my elbows on the edge, soaked wishing for sun but it was nothing but storm clouds here.
"They have a lot of thunderstorms in this area." I just nodded at Hayashi with understanding.
"I would love that, unless we are on a small boat in the ocean."
"Ya not the best time." Iruka spoke up with humor.
We sat in comfortable silence for a while.
"Look at that." Iruka spoke, sitting up I looked to the right. "The other side Ava." Oh, I looked the left, peering below the waves as I saw something come at us in the water.
"A shark?"
He gave a small smile as it came in close, the bastard was twice the size of the boat, my heart started to beat as I spun onto my knees, I watched it swim away and not come back but man that was scary.
"Ok, spiders." I caved making Iruka smile.
Hayashi nudged me on the shoulder. "Traitor"
We floated for an hour or so and came back to the dock, I was so happy to see land. We brought the canoe back to the man who yelled at us about his boat as we walked off. Just in case they come looking for us we are going to run towards the land of a fire and find a different town.
We ran fast but my wet shorts were rubbing my thighs making me so uncomfortable wondering if they were just as uncomfortable in places but they may not be as wet as me down there.
We made it by night, the dirt roads filled with people and we found an inn, before we are out of here I wanted to try a hot spring.
The second I got out of my clothes I felt better, I stood naked but alone as I stared at two paths to two different kinds of springs not understanding what each one does I headed down the right. Wooden walls that opened to the sky, I was just slowly moving when I felt Kakashi's chakra headed my way startling me before I noticed he was headed to a spring also, just on the other side of the wall.
I cracked a smile and kept in step with him, trying to find some kind of hole, he is naked and that is creepy of me but there is a small chance he was not wearing his mask. As we moved I looked for anything to see him when he knocked on the wood, making me pause and for the first time I swear my face went red, he knew I was there.
I shuffled faster towards the spring.
I again was alone in here, a wooden wall cutting the pool in half as I slid into the water so fast I made a small wave. Next to me there was a few men with Kakashi, I watched as the two men came closer to the wall, moving so my head was the only thing out I watched his chakra try and climb the wall as I narrowed my eye's.
Kakashi did not move unsure if he was going to I pulled out my whip forming it underwater.
When the creeps hands landed on the top of the fence and before his face was there I whipped them, making him make a pained noise and fall into the water, a small wave came through the wall making me smile.
After that they both backed off.
I enjoyed this until an older lady walked in, feeling done I got up before he did and walked out, I looked around the small town, looking for the others, or food.
Suddenly someone touched my lower back and pressed into my side, making me elbow him in the face as I jumped away. An older creep was glaring at me as I seemed to have broken his nose. "What the fuck bitch." I was startled, I just kind of moved. "I was being nice to you." I got angry, fuck guys like this!
I spun on my feet and walked away. I can't stand people who touch my back like that.
I started to remember something I try to forget about. An old friends sisters boyfriend would do that all the time, I hated it but I did not know how to stop him as I was a quiet and weak willed person, until one day he invited me over saying they were having a party and I fell for it, I was the first one there it was just me and him, should have noticed it.
He made one drink and I only remember bits and pieces.
He drugged me and now when someone touches me like that I kind of lose it, he even stalked me after, once I saw him hanging around my school, I was 16 and he was my age now. Fucking creep, luckily I moved not long after.
"What was that?" Hayashi said as he caught in step with me, he looked at my angry and scared face and let it go as I continued to walk, heading for food.
He had stopped moving for a sec before he caught up.
We sat in silence as it looked like he wanted to ask again but I just looked down and enjoyed my rice, it was so good making me give a small smile. I finally looked up at him and gave him an apologetic look and changed the subject.
"I loved the stealth." I mumbled quietly while stuffing my face.
"Ya?"
"It was so fun." Sneaking and stealing is so awesome. Looking around no one was listening, we shared a smile and I continued to eat.
We found our way to the inn where the other two were, sitting around on the small mats we chatted as Kakashi just read his book.
I fell asleep loving these guys and I was so glad to have them in my life.
I woke up real early again thanks to Guy, I just laid there thinking of these men around me and waited for them to wake up because there is nothing I can do.
They eventually got up and we ran again, the sun had barely risen and when we were back in the tree line the morning fog made it look like we were flying over never ending drop. We ran all day it was dull and uneventful when we sat up camp for the night. Hayashi cooked us dinner we ate and had a deep discussion on what the most common food was and then who thought what the most common jutsu in the world was.
We came to clones as every land used them even if it was a different kind of element or style.
I tried to catch Kakashi eating but I never could, I would look his way and some food would be gone. I was impressed at his speed but annoyed as I wanted to know what he was covering so carefully, the more he hides it, the more I want to know but I gave up and let him eat looking away on purpose. I sat next to the fire enjoying as I like these guys and I may be stuck back in the village again without these powerhouses.
I picked up four sticks and started to shave off the end into a point before burning the tips in the fire, they all looked at me confused. I smiled as I pulled out the closest thing to a marshmallow I could find, they were shaped as dog heads, curious how they burn, Sticking one to the end I handed them all a stick making them look at me confused again. Hayashi shook his stick lost.
I then stuck mine over the fire and let it burn, blowing it out I stuffed it in my mouth as they followed quietly.
I made a distraction by my feet, pretending to squish a bug very loudly as I made a strange noise. Giving a quick slide glance at Kakashi who had eaten his marshmallow making me smile. We did not talk as they stuck more on there sticks, I don't know if this was common or strange to them and we started to chat about random things and they kept making more flaming marshmallows so I was happy they were not just humoring me anymore.
Come morning we had some coffee and food before we started to run again.
We came across a very wide canyon, they started to speed up as we got closer I followed them with the good kind of fear in my heart, pushing chakra into my feet I went to jump. Without actually realizing I screamed out. "I have no legs." With no clue why, it just came out as I landed with a roll like I was taught at home when you land from a long or high jump, rolling onto my feet as the others landed beside me on there feet with no need to roll.
They all looked at me like a grew a second head and then Hayashi could not stop laughing as he leaned forward holding his stomach.
I just smiled slightly awkwardly as I looked back at the canyon, it was so wide and it was like we flew over it.
After another day and half of running non stop we walked through the gates and were waved in, no one looked at me funny, not one person. This whole team was known enough that we just headed to the Hokage tower without them needing to show they are a real ninja. I felt so tired and we waited outside the doors as I leaned on the wall when I noticed who was inside making me nudge Hayashi as the door opened.
It was Kuro and his team.
They opened the door and walked out all serious until they saw my big smile. Kiyo smirked and winked, Kuro gave us a fist bump, the other two just smiled.
I watched them as they turned the round corner, Kuro looked back at me before she invited us in.
I was glad they are fine now but sadly headed out on a mission I take it, no time to duel him again.
The Hokage was happy to see us and said something along the lines of us being fast. We ran over the mission and Kakashi pulled out the scroll of scrolls finding out now, I need to look at them, that is what I will be doing next, she gave me an hour to relax before I need to come back.
So I grabbed a good coffee at the shop and headed to have a bubble bath, so glad to smell like flowers again. I was sitting in my window smoking having around ten minutes when Kakashi was on the roof across from me, I jumped out and followed him.
We were back at the Hokage tower and he showed me to a new room, there was just a metal table in a few chairs in here. It was depressing. He shut the door behind us and I sat down, there was a small file on the table and I opened it, it was all Tsuande and I gathered that one time. He placed the scroll next to us and pulled one out to read.
"Just us?" He gave a small nod. "So small I thought there was more information then this." I said closing the file and reaching in the bag. We did not speak, the first was about the body of a guy around 40 years old found on some mountain path road, he had nothing on him and was only wearing his socks and boxers, sadly. He was found burned about five months ago, chakraless.
Sadness filled my face. "What do I do with the people?" I asked him, he patted his left side where one scroll sat, nodding I put it beside the other and pulled out a second.
My hand covered my mouth as there was a teenage girl found, she was found wearing her school uniform by the sounds of it, a backpack was found with food and papers that were in foreign tongue and a pink block. "Cellphone." I mumbled as I stuck my hand into the scroll looking for something I remembered grabbing because it was in English.
He looked at me as I looked at ceiling trying to find the page. "I remember seeing it, it was this girls." I found it, as it was a different kind of paper even if they tried to roll it up.
I pulled it out and started to read, making Kakashi stand next to me and look. "What's it say?"
I laughed. "A very badly written book report." I flipped the page.
"Book report?"
"It is school in my world, sometimes they make you read books and write about it in English class." Flipping the page. "And a cute poem about trees."
He sat back down. "Put that in this pile." He patted to the right. "Information on your world."
I nodded and read the last page, one of the notes you send back and forth with your friend making my eye's start to water, Kakashi looked up at me. "They were funny." I said quietly as I put it to the right. "It was a note between friends." I wrote her name on the papers before I put her in the people pile.
"It's you." He waved.
"Really?" I grabbed it from him and looked it over. There was only a small amount of information, rumors say there is one alive in konohagakure said to have a tattoo, was spotted during the chunin exams said to be weak like a civilian. "Well that is short."
"That ninja must have been the only one to look you up."
"A part of me is glad they called me a civilian."
We found others and not a lot of other information, they did take phones but I'm unsure where they are.
"They took a lot of phones." He looked up at me as I explained what they look like.
"Ya we have a few also." He asked what they did and I tried to explain, mostly just stuff he would understand like cameras and talking on the phone, can hold music and what texting was, looking at this guy as he read while listening. I think he would understand the internet and apps more then I could but I don't know how to explain it.
"If you have a question ask me." He nodded as I put another body in the pile, this one was found seven months ago, how long have I been here?
I got in a zone as I moved through them, yawning we found a timeline between just under a year and about four months ago in the land of Lightning, I was in the time zone, not the first and not the last but still, the only one in here with chakra. However if someone was alive, they would have taken them out or not told the world.
"I wonder what happened that brought us all here, find anything interesting?"
"Well a lot of you have had tattoos and most were found missing items of clothes." He spoke calmly.
"Ya tattoos in my world were common and sometimes covered the full body, I figured that was what mine was but I could not remember getting it." I yawned reading this scroll. "Along with piercing's, I still have my belly button." He gave me a quick glance.
"Most times they mean nothing, people just get them, unlike here." I looked at him. "What does your's mean?"
He did not look up and just said. "Anbu." I just nodded and went back to my page.
It stayed silent, when this next body was also missing clothes. "Hmm I think your right, everyone seems to miss something, sock, shirt, one guy was almost naked." He looked at me curious, I understood this one. "I was missing my pants and one of my shoes." I spoke with a smile as he slightly laughed at that.
"Where is the ones from the land of fire?" He pointed to a box behind him I did not see. I slid out of my chair, grabbed the box and put it on my chair, I just quickly went through them, there was about 15 people.
"So there is no age, no ethnicity." He looked at me as I mumbled. "This one was dressed in a bathing suit with a surfing board and one I remember seeing was also obviously not from canada, so it did not matter where in the world they were pulled from."
"Just as it did not matter where they landed." He spoke back.
I put the box back on the floor and pulled out a new scroll, this one was about finding some 'strange' high healed shoes, some what I know as hair extensions, they just wrote her hair was ripped out, found next to a ripped up purse, there was some random papers in a language they did not understand and some makeup alone in the small forest.
They had the papers attached to this one, it was just some receipts from random places along with a nail salon.
Making me stand up in shock as I waved my arm at him. "I think this one is alive." I put in front of him.
He looked it over. "You sure, they might have been moved or animals."
"This girl had a lot of makeup on her and very high heals and fake hair, there was no phone near her, they always have their phone on them." He looked interested and put it in the middle of the table, calming down a little sad he was not more interested, I pulled out the next as I read it quietly as I sat back down.
"I have to ask." I looked up. "Fake hair?" I laughed as I told him about fake hair, eyes, boobs. His eye ran over mine before he went back to the scroll.
I pulled out the last one. "This is it?" I opened it, I was expecting something interesting being the last one, you know how that always works in shows but it was nothing. One last body. "This one was also missing clothes and one shoe, found five months ago, no phone but a smashed up tablet." He looked up at me. "It's like a big phone, small t.v." he did not ask more on the subject making me breath better as I am too dumb to teach them about better electronics.
Looking at the piles. "Twenty bodies to land of fire fifteen."
"Sixteen." I looked at him confused before I got it.
"Right." Feeling dumb again. "Me."
We had not found out much but we had five scrolls with information and then the possibly of one alive.
"Well, I will help with another heist anytime." I smiled at him. "That was fun." I leaned back in my chair as he fixed the piles.
"I like how we have more information on your world then them."
I nodded. "Unless they have her." I pointed to the middle scroll. He almost looked startled at my smart moment making my heart drop that he thinks of me as a dumb person.
"Wait here." He walked out, sitting there I just looked sadly at the piles before looked back at the girl in the middle to reread. The more I read it the more I think she was alive, wishing there was more about that.
I got lucky with Kuro bringing me here and the old man being kind and welcoming to an alien. "What if she wasn't." I mumbled.
"She wasn't what?" Looking over the Hokage and Kakashi were back.
"Lucky." I mumbled as I put it back.
They had brought two boxes as we packed it up, putting the girl and the file on the top, she stacked the boxes in one hand and walked off.
Walking out of the room we made it outside, it was now dark and peaceful. "Thanks for smelling so good, last time I was in there the guy had not showered in days." He joked before he vanished making me smile.
He did not smell bad either. "Back at you." I quietly said and I ran off home, thinking of his smell was kind of woodsy and nice.
