After the 4th Great Ninja War, there was peace, understanding and harmony. Despite being no war, conflict still arises and the Shinobi's duty started to change. This is a story about how the duty of those who use their chakra for others never changed, even in times of peace.
Chapter 1:
It's 7am in Konoha, near the Uchiha District. Fuji Kazanrai awakens at the usual time, with her usual grumpy mood. After showering, eating and get dressed for another day, Fuji leaves home and runs into her good friend Sakumo (Kakashi's son).
"Fuji! It's a nice day," says Sakumo with a big smile on his face.
She answers, grumpy as always, by nodding her head, followed by, "I must agree, Sakumo! The sun doesn't shine like this in Iwa, so it's nice to feel it for a change."
Right when they start having a pleasant conversation, Fuji receives a message on her ninja watch from the Hokage's office to present themselves there asap.
Fuji quickly puts her protector on her forehead and rushes to the Hokage's office. "Hokage-sama," she says, "I'm here!"
The Hokage is the 4th War great hero, Naruto Uzumaki, also known as the Jinchuuriki for the Nine Tails, presently known as Kurama. As Fuji approaches the desk, the Hokage says: "Fuji, nice to see you in this fine morning! I called you because I have a mission only you can accomplish". Fuji is happy to hear that but keeps a neutral expression on her face.
"What kind of mission?" she asks.
"Well, take a look at these letters." the Hokage replies.
Fuji reads the horrible letters with death threats to a band of four people, four women who have been rising in popularity for their music, sexiness, and captivating dances. She is horrified when she reads them and asks the Hokage the reason why that is happening to these women.
The Hokage doesn't know how to answer but explains to Fuji that her job is to protect these women from any harm. "Make contact with the client, their leading manager, find out what the hell is happening and protect them at all costs! That is your mission!".
With a determined look on her eyes, Fuji accepts the mission. After talking with Naruto, Fuji goes to the weapons department lead by Tenten and picks up a few Kunais and some Battle Wire. After all that preparation, Fuji departed to her mission by summoning Garuda, her falcon and together they flew to the train station where she travelled to the Earth Country, the concert avenue, where she spent 5 days on the train.
The days she spent on the train were calm and it felt like forever. When she was on her room the time passed slowly, when she was on the public cars with men and women hitting on her, time passed even slower until she finally arrived in Bear Country where she was greeted by one of the band's bodyguard where he took her to the hotel where they were staying.
"Where are the members?" Fuji asked.
"They are still at rehearsal," the bodyguard explained. "They should be back in a couple of hours." He continued.
While Fuji was waiting to meet the members, their leading manager arrived.
"Thank you for accepting the mission in such a quick way!" he bowed. "Let's go straight to the point".
"In the last few weeks, there have been the most disturbing death threats in the fan mail… I've never seen anything like this. From bomb threats, to kidnapping threats and stuff that is so much worse…" he explained. While Fuji was listening to the explanation, she realised that the manager named Jin was fearful and sad, truthfully scared of these threats and very concerned for the girls' wellbeing.
"Don't worry!" she said. "I'm a powerful ninja from the Iwagakure, they are safe with me."
They proceeded to go through their group schedule, outfit testing and rehearsals and Fuji quickly noticed there are no breaks, no mealtime and almost no sleep schedule. She found it odd, however, she didn't say a thing because she thought it was a normal thing considering the concert is one week away.
She took the letters bag, looked around, took a breath-in and opened her eyes. The bodyguard didn't know what that was but when he looked at her, he got scared. He saw red eyes, with black dots that reminded commas and got scared, really scared.
"I'm going to get a cup of coffee; I'll be right back…!" He said scared.
Fuji answered, "Ok, but don't tell anyone, I'll know if you do!". The bodyguard ran from the room, Fuji giggled and spent the rest of the afternoon reading and analysing the letters that were sent to them and they were dark…
Finally came the time to meet the members. Fuji exited the room to rest her eyes a bit and started to hear some screams. While she ran towards the distressed cry, he saw a man try to harm the girl. He perversely said that it was part of the contract he signed with the CEO of the recording label, so she had to comply.
Suddenly, he feels something sharp pierce his arm and when he looks, he sees a kunai stuck on his arm. He looks over and sees that Fuji was the one who threw that object.
"Stop! Unless you want to be killed right here and right now!" Fuji yelled
Fuji was mad, she was witnessing something horrible and was trembling with anger. She was so angry her eyes were red.
"It can't be! That's the Sharingan! It's not possible… They are supposed to be almost extinct!" – the assaulter said.
Blinded with rage, Fuji ignored his knowledge about the Sharingan and started moving forward, towards the assaulter. When Fuji gets to him, she reaches for the kunai and pushes it further in and says, "I'll never forgive you for what you were trying to do to her! Now, it's your time to suffer!".
She looked him directly in the eyes and he started to see his worst fears. He could tell it was an illusion, but it was so realistic he forgot it was a Sharingan induced allucination and experienced it in total fear. He fell into his knees, sweating, with a heavy breath, traumatized by what he saw…
"Now, you are going to tell me what you mean by what you said… If you don't, I'll make you see that all over again, a thousand more times" Fuji threatened.
"Y… Yes, I'll tell you everything… Please, don't hurt me…!" he said.
Fuji looked at the assaulted woman. She was in shock due to what almost happened so, in an attempt to ease her pain a bit, Fuji put her on a Genjutsu and gave her a pleasant dream. She looks so peaceful.
She turned to the man and coldly said, "I'm listening…".
