Seeing Utakata Again And Meet Team Zabuza

Raiura was standing front oof the Hokage for the final time before leaving for her C-rank.

"So... Yagura has agreed..." said Hiruzen as he releases a puff of smoke from his pipe.

"Hai Hokage-Jiji... Yagura-kun has agreed to send Utakata-nī to meet us before we get to the island... the genin team will already be there be then..." said Raiura while bowing to her Hokage.

The Hokage chuckled and nodded, "You may leave Raiura-chan... good luck on your mission..."

"What other genin team is coming with us Jiji?" asked Raiura.

The Hokage suddenly got a mischievous glint in his eye, "You'll just have to go to the gates and find out..."

Raiura deflated and spoke in a pouty tone, "Yes Hokage-Jiji..."

Raiura was bent down on one knee, ruffling his crimson mixed with maroon hair. She had 20 minutes before she had to leave and an hour before the genin team would come for Ryūsei.

Ryūsei had big tears falling down his cheek, "Kā-chan... please stay..." his voice cracked, and she felt her heart break. She didn't want to leave him, but she had to.

She pulled him into her arms and stroked his hair, "I know Aka-chan... I know... kā-chan doesn't want to leave either..."

Ryūsei backed up a little and looked up with bright, hopeful violet eyes, "Then stay Mama..."

Raiura's heart damn near broke right then and there and she actually considered stay, "I have to go Ryūsei-kun... I'll be back in a month..." Raiura got an idea, she looked down to Ryūsei, having already wiped his tears, she booped his nose, "How about I get something for you?"

Ryūsei brighten up a little, "Really?"

Raiura nodded, "Yup..."

"Alright Kā-chan... you stay safe..." Ryūsei said with a smile and Raiura smiled back.

Sasuke came down the stair from his room, Shisui sitting on the couch reading something.

"I'm going to get going now Shisui-nī..." Sasuke said, throwing his backpack on his back.

Shisui looked over his shoulder to Sasuke, "Take care of yourself Sasuke... work properly with your teammates... and listen to Raiura and Kakashi when they tell you something... they are both considered experts in their graduating year when it comes to tactics-"

"I'll be fine Nī-san..." Sasuke interrupted, "Stop being a worry wart... I'm going..." the youngest Uchiha walked out the door.

Shisui sighed, 'Man... Itachi... I still don't believe that is the true..."

Sasuke and Sakura wait for the other genin team and their sensei, as well as their sensei and Raiura, not to mention the client. That's when he sees Kiba walking up to them with Akamaru. Sasuke snorted, this was just great, Raiura was going to bring her wolf with her. In all honesty, the Uchiha loved Mikoto, not only did she have the same name as his mother, but the wolf was also just as kind as her.

"Yo what's up Sasuke!?" shouted Kiba as he ran up to the dark-haired boy.

"Go away Kiba..." Sasuke said.

Kiba backs up slightly, "Jeez man... I just wanted to be friendly..."

Hinata and Shino were right behind the Inuzuka, Hinata grabbed her other male teammate and pulled him further away from Sasuke, she looked to Sasuke and gave a stranded kind smile, "Hello Sasuke-kun... apologize for Kiba-kun..."

Sasuke shook his head, "There is nothing to really apologize for Hinata..."

Shino pushed his glasses up, "So do you have an idea of were out sensei's and Raiura-san are..."

"I'm right here Shino..." said a feminine voice, they all jumped, and Shino turned around to see Raiura.

The Uzumaki's outfit was different from what she normally wore. She wore a long sleeves light yellow white jacket that was zipped all the way up, underneath Russian black, tan top. She was wearing black pants with two black strips going down the sides. Right over her heart was the Uzumaki swirl with a line drawing of a wolf's head facing forwards on top of it. Her swords were strapped to her back in the usual x position. She had a red head band that smoothed top of her head slightly, but it was still spiky, and it was still put into her regular ponytail.

"Ah Raiura-san..." Shino said, pretending like what had happened didn't.

Raiura looked to Hinata, "Hinata..." she hugged the Hyūga who hugged back, "How are you? How is Kurenai-san? Your super luck you got her, you could totally learn a lot from her..."

Hinata giggled, "I'm fine Raiu... Kurenai-sensei is okay... your also luck... you got Kakashi-san... he's got a wide range of abilities..."

"I guess..." Raiura grinned.

"Yo!" Kakashi gave a lazy wave as he, Kurenai, and Tazuna walk up to Team 7 and 8.

"Alright!" Raiura said as she stretched her arm, "Let's get this show on the road..."

Kurenai nodded, "Sure... but first... does everyone have everything?"

"Hai..." the genin said.

"Sensei..." Sakura said a slightly loud voice, "How can Raiura have everything if she doesn't have a backpack?"

"Ah~ well Raiura is a seals master... so she uses storage scrolls..." answered Kakashi.

"Oh..." Sakura said surprised.

"Alright let's go..." Kurenai said. They all left the village at a slow pace since Tazuna was a civilian and Sakura was the slowest of the group. Kakashi left aKage Bunshinto sign them out of the village.

An hour earlier in Kiri, Team Zabuza was standing in front of Yagura. The team was comprised of, Momochi Zabuza, Yuki Haku, heir to the Yuki clan, Hōzuki Suigetsu, the second son of the current head of the Hōzuki clan, and Shimizu Eisaku, a child from two ninja that were not a part of a clan.

Zabuza is a tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky brown hair, dark brown eyes, and small eyebrows. The swordsman was wearing bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face. He wore a sleeveless black shirt underneath a flak jacket, and matching pants, complete with a waist-guard, and Kirigakure's striped wrist and legwarmers. His forehead protector worn sideways on his head.

Haku had long black hair, almost like a girl, pale skin, and large, dark-brown eyes, and slender frame. His outfit consisted of the standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stopped at his knees. Over this he wore a teal haori with trimmings, and around his waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around his waist twice. He also wore light-brown platoon sandals with straps in the same color as his kimono and nail polish on his fingernails and toenails that were matching teal green.

Haku's hair was gathered into a white bun holder, while two locks of his hair fell loosely framing his face, bound with metal hair cuffs at the ends. Haku also wears a black forehead protector with the symbol for Kiri on it.

Suigetsu is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it in the anime, almond shaped purple eyes, and pointed teeth, one which sticks out even when his mouth was closed. He wears a purple, sleeveless shirt with blue pants, sandals and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it. He also wears another belt strapped to his chest which he uses to carry a large katana.

Eisaku had hickory brown hair that reached until the end of his shoulder blades, ivory tan skin, tangerine orange eyes, and a lean body that was meant for speed. His outfit consisted of a zipped up full sleeve jacket that reached his knees, the tail was split in two with a v cut, it was a beautiful mix of ocean and sapphire blue. He had wheat yellow pants with plenty of pockets and dark azure blue shinobi sandals, although the toes were covered. He had a sliver chain on his neck to complete the look.

"Alright... today you will be leaving to Wave on a C to B rank mission... do you all remember the Gato?" asked Yagura.

"Wasn't he that super rich mad man that attempted to build a monopoly in Mizu no Kuni?" questioned Suigetsu.

Yagura nodded, "He was... even though we stopped his before he could do that... we never were able to kill him... sources have informed us that he is going to target Nami no Kuni... we have been hired by the islands people to get rid of him before he can do serious damage..." then the Mizukage sighed, "You will also be working with a genin team from Konoha..."

"What?!" shouted Suigetsu.

"Do we have to?" questioned Haku in his monotone, but a hint of annoyance was there.

"Come on Mizukage-sama!" shouted Eisaku.

Yagura began to get a tick mark on his forehead, "Shut up!" he yelled, and their mouths all closed with a click, "I know we haven't had the best relationship with Konoha, but this is a good opportunity to get on their good side... I myself 2am friends with one of the genin in the that group..."

Zabuza raised an eyebrow, "The kid that every jōnin is saying that you have a crush on..."

Yagura twitched, "I do not have a crush on a 13-year-old..."

"Sure, you don't Mizukage-sama..." Zabuza said in a mocking tone. It earned him a blast of water to the face.

Team 7 and 8 were walking with the client, the jōnin sensei at the back of the group, Hinata and Raiura, with Mikoto, in the middle, Kiba and Akamaru right in front of the client with Shino and Sasuke fully in the front. Taka was above, guarding and searching from the sky.

"I never knew you have a wolf Raiura!" Kiba said loudly.

Hinata glared at her teammate, "Be quiet Kiba... you don't want us to get attacked because you were so loud..." she whispered harshly to him.

Kiba rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Hehe... sorry Hinata..."

Raiura gave a kind smile, "Hai Kiba-san... I only just really found her and then trained her... she really only meant for protection..."

Kiba nodded, "Alright..."

The Teams were walking a peaceful walk to the town on the border of Hi no Kuni and Nami no Kuni. It was known as Honō-ha no mura or the Village of the Flaming Wave. No one really knows why the village was really given that name, but the food is apparently really good.

"Raiura... can you sense his chakra?" asked Kakashi. Raiura's range was a lot like Senju Tobirama, it reached far, not as far as his did, but she could still sense Nami from where they currently where.

"Who is she sensing for?" asked Kiba.

Kurenai looked to her hyper student, "Did we forget to tell you? Oh well now is as good of a time as any... We are working with Kiri ninja..."

"But sensei..." Kiba wined, "Why?"

"I have to agree with Kiba-san's assessment..." Shino said, "Why? Because Kiri isn't the closest village to us but they aren't our enemies..."

"You guys really shouldn't really be complaining about this... if anything... Raiura should..." Kakashi eye smiled.

"How so sensei?" asked Sakura.

Raiura sighed, "Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri whipped my clan of the face of the map during the Second Shinobi War and there are only a handful left..."

Kiba laughed, "Yeah right you have a clan... pff hahahaha..."

Kurenai glared at Kiba, "Kiba... you need to respect Raiura... she related to the Shodai, Nidaime, and Senju Tsunade through the Shodai's wife, Uzumaki Mito..."

Raiura interrupted Kurenai, "But then Konoha got to ashamed of us being whipped out and being their allies... so you know what they did? They decided to remove all records of us and stop teaching about our clan in the academy... they wanted Konoha to forget about a clan that basically helped them build the village... hell... we basically had a village before them..." Everyone winced at Raiura's words.

Tazuna's eyes widened, "Then I should be calling you Hime-sama... the Uzumaki used to rule over these parts... before-" Tazuna looked to the ground, "We too got to embarrassed about them and changed out name from Uzu no Kuni to Nami no Kuni..."

"Raiura..." Kakashi whispered.

Raiura's face was shadowed by her hair, "Let's just get to this village to get to Nami... I don't want to talk about this anymore..." the blonde whistled and Taka came lower and sat on her shoulder, she whispered something to the hawk before it flew back to its position.

Kagami groaned, "Uhhhggggghhhhh... I'm so bored... Mikoto and Taka are so lucky that they get to be in the human world... it's so not fair that I have stay here..."

Izuna chuckles, "I know Kagami-kun, I know..." Izuna and his son were sitting on a rock out in the sun, the smaller dragon leaning on his father as they took a sun bath, "You know we can always go to the Jungle Lands and train with Fuyuhi-san's team..."

Kagami suddenly felt very tired, "I'm feeling tired Otō-san..." the younger dragon yawns and snuggles deeper into his father's embrace, "I'm going to sleep for a bit..."

"Alright sochi..."

The group had settled down for the night, they were still quite a couple of days away from the village, but it was getting dark and Tazuna wasn't a ninja, and Sakura, well, you know... she pretty weak and only way she graduated was through her smarts. So, they put up their tents and got tucked in for the night. Raiura was in her pale lime and green tent, she was lying down on the left side of the tent, Mikoto cuddling into her side that wasn't against the tent wall. There was a fake branch that Raiura had set up and Taka was sleeping on that.

She had her arms behind her head and used them as a pillow, she appeared to be looking up to the ceiling, but that wasn't the case. She was having a flashback of a memory that did not belong to her.

She was walking up to the Hokage tower, but it was different that the one that she had grown up with, it looked newer. She could see that she had covered the left side of her face completely with her blonde hair just as Mei did. She looked to her left to see a man that looked a lot like her father, and a lot like Kakashi.

The man had Kakashi's silver white hair and dark grey eyes. Though he had her sun-kissed skin and a similar hair style to her father, only thing is that his hair spiked backwards and was put into a ponytail. He was wearing a mesh shirt with a black jacket over it, the jacket appeared to be leather and on the back of it was the symbol for the Hatake clan. He was also wearing black pants that had an older model of the shuriken holster on his left and right leg. He was wearing the traditional blue shinobi sandals.

The man looked to her and gave a grin that matched her's, "Man... I guess you really did drag me here Nē-chan..." the man, she assumed was the person that she was looking through's brother, gave her an almost sad look, "But are you sure this is the best idea... what if they decide to use you as a weapon since you hold... the you know what..." he whispered the last part.

She playfully punched 'her' younger brother, "Shut up Sakito... your supposed to be the male twin of us... that mean that you have to be braver and more confident..." okay, Raiura wasn't really that off track, this man was her younger twin brother.

The now named Sakito sighed, "Hai hai Minori..." wait, that was the name of the woman that signed the summoning contract of Akuryō.

Another white-haired man walked up to the group, although, his hair reminded her of snow. She looked up to the man and looked over his facial features. The man had fair, almost pale, skin and crimson red eyes. He had three red markings on his face, on under each if his eyes and on his chin. Oh, this was Senju Tobirama.

"Alpha Minori..." Tobirama bowed his head to this woman.

She raised a gentle hand, the rest of her arm cloaked in a white kimono, to her mouth and gave a small giggle, "Tobirama... I have told you not to call me that, weather I am a clan head or not... I just want you to call me Minori just as I call you Tobirama..." Sakito went to stand behind the two as they began to walk into the village.

Tobirama looked to her with a gentleness, "I respect you to much to do that..."

Minori huffed, "Then I shall call you Lord Tobirama..."

Tobirama gave slight flinched, "Please don't..."

"Then call me Minori..." Minori said stubbornly.

"They are right about one thing..." Tobirama said.

Minori looked to him, "And what is that?"

"Blue eyed people can either be the dumbest or the smartest..." Tobirama deadpanned.

Raiura didn't expect the great Kage to do that, the Sandaime had always said that he was pretty serious most of the time. The two continue with small talk until they reached the Hatake clan district, this again, looked much newer than when she visited.

"I suppose this is where our conversation end..." Minori said. She gestured for her brother to go inside and leave them alone.

Tobirama nodded, "I suppose..."

Minori leaned up and whispered in Tobirama's ear, "There is a reason I told you to call me Minori, Tobirama-kun~..." she licked the shell of his ear.

Tobirama gave a shiver, "Oh... and w-why is that..." the Senju tried to keep his voice steady and cursed inwardly for the slip up.

"I don't see you as someone that I should look at as my fellow clan head..." Minori shoved her tongue in his ear, and she could feel Tobirama physically cling to her, she began to suck while her tongue was in his ear. She could hear the white-haired Senju moan, she moved away before walking into the compound, swinging her hips, she could feel the future Nidaime's eyes on her back.

Raiura shot up in a cold sweat, she pushed her hair up as she ran a hand through her hair and attempted to calm herself down. She had a dream about the Nidaime, a very suggestive one about a dead person. She was positive that wasn't a dream though, that felt very really, and she could still remember exactly what happened. Mikoto rushed up out of her sleep and sat next to her summoner, the cerulean eyed girl ran a hand through the white wolf's fur. That woman was the Nidaime's lover, good to know.

Raiura crawled over to her tent and unzipped the entrance. It looked to be 6:30, Kakashi and Kurenai were already up. She walked out stretching and yawning as Mikoto and Taka followed her.

"Kee-aah..." Taka calls out as he flys up to a tree branch. He landed on it and started preening his feathers.

Raiura walked up to them, "Kon'nichiwa Kakashi-sensei, Kurenai-san..."

"Good morning to you too Raiura..." Kakashi said, "Would you go and wake up your teammates..."

Raiura tapped Mikoto with her foot and gesture with her head to go wake them up. Raiura opened her mouth to say something then shut it, thinking it was best to speak about it during a later time. She walked over into the tree to change out of her previous days clothes and into a fresh new ones, they were the same, but fresh. She came back out with a sky-blue rubber band in her mouth, her hands working to position her hair to tie in, afterwards, she walked up to the group to see her teammates and Kurenai's team look tired, really tired.

Kiba looked to her angrily, "You! Can't you control your wolf!"

Raiura tilted her head, "What she do?"

"She bit me!" shouted Kiba.

Shino pushed his glasses up, "You kicked her when she tried to wake you up gently..."

Raiura deadpanned at the feral boy, "She like your mother, do you wake when your mother tells you to? If you don't, does she come and attempt to kick your ass?"

Kiba kept his mouth shut for the rest of the day. They continued on the path towards the Village of the Flaming Wave.

Zabuza pulled his sword out of another bandit, this was the fifth time they ran into group of thugs. It was really getting annoying on Zabuza's part, but he wasn't allowed to kill the midget know as Gato until Utakata said so. He really hated listening to the jōnin commander, he's a goddamn jinchūriki! He's meant to a weapon, but the Kiri jōnin guessed that with a new era comes new concepts, ideas, and things that people should get used to it. Zabuza looked to his genin.

Haku was removing most of the senbon that he had thrown, he was on a limited supple since they couldn't just run home and get more, well they could, but they were days away. Suigetsu pulled a bottle of water and gulped its contents down, to Zabuza, the kid really looked a lot like Mangetsu. Damn, Kisame was lucky he got the brat that had more respect for others than the one that didn't.

Eisaku was an interesting kid, he wasn't like a lot of other ninjas for the Hidden Mist. He didn't kill unless necessary and it reminded Zabuza of Konoha ninja, when they finally got to meet this group, the kid was going to get along with them just fine. Utakata walked over, man, Zabuza whistled, that kid was only a few years younger than him, but he was still quite the catch. That Kussaku brat or whatever they called him was lucky.

Utakata was dressed in a full body grey suit along with a variant of the village's flak jacket which had very low shoulder guards as well as a zipper and a pouch on the upper right chest. He had black ANBU pants and bandages around his ankles, with blue shinobi sandals. He also wore the village's hitai-ate, fingerless gloves, as well as bandages on his forearms. He was holding a pipe in his hand, which he skillfully put it inside of the pouch and put his hands into pockets in his black pants.

"Everyone done?" asked Utakata.

They all nodded, "Hai..."

Utakata was about to say something when he felt a seal on his wrist vibrate. He removed his glove and the bandages before touching the storage seal, a scroll pouffe out. He unfurled it and began to read its contents. After his eyes reached the bottom and finished scanning, he rolled it back up and sealed it back into his wrist.

He looked back up to his team, "Okay... you all head back to camp, I have to go meet the Konoha squad... and I'm going to bring one of you with me..." the genin really looked like they didn't want to go, all but Eisaku, he seemed indifferent about it.

When Utakata's eyes landed on him, Eisaku knew he was screwed, 'Please don't be me. Please don't be me. Please don't be me.' The hickory haired genin chanted in his mind.

"You're coming Eisaku..." said Utakata with a kind smile, "I need someone with a gentle touch and is not willing to kill only for fun..."

Outwardly, Eisaku gave a stranded fake smile, inwardly, he head shot up to the sky and he groaned, 'Why me~' he thought, "Hai... Utakata-san..." The team from Kiri split in two, Zabuza took his two remaining genin back to camp while Utakata to Eisaku to Flaming Wave.

As Utakata and Eisaku walked to Konoha team, Utakata glanced at the body, the kid looked a lot like him, the only difference was his eyes. He was starting to think that the kid might be his kid, as much as he was attracted to me, he did have plenty of one-night stands with women. Then he scratched the idea out because the kid was only 15 and he was

"So Eisaku..." Utakata spoke up, "You aren't like most Kiri shinobi I know... tell me why..."

Eisaku looked nervous, "I don't like killing... even after Yagura-sama changed the academy graduation test... he did it after my year graduated... I..." Eisaku looked extremely sad, "I ended up killing my best friend... I have always never really liked the idea of killing so that was kind of the final straw..."

Utakata raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"I promised myself that I wouldn't kill unless necessary or if I had to then it would be quick and fast..." Eisaku sighed.

Utakata patted the genin on the head, "That's perfectly fine... you don't have to be like everyone else... most people won't judge you... I know that I won't... Oh look, we're here..."

They walked through the brush and into a street in the village. Utakata grabbed the kid by his forearm and dragged him to a café. They sat down on a table outside and were given some menus.

"Why are we sitting here?" asked Eisaku.

Pale golden eyes looked to the genin, "We'll be here for some time... my best guess is that they took a break during the night because for the client and only just started... and it's only 8:00... most shinobi only wake up at 7:30..."

Eisaku raised an eyebrow, "Most or only Konoha..."

Utakata laughed, "Konoha has become more relaxed after the Kyūbi attack... their shinobi quality as also gone down since their graduation test has diminished in quality..."

"How come the Sandaime Hokage hasn't done anything about it?" asked the orange eyed genin.

Utakata sighed and leaned his face on his hand, which had an elbow resting on the table, "Because he has become old and weak..."

"Nī-san!" a voice called out to Utakata.

The jōnin instantly recognized the voice even after almost a decade passing by. He shot out of his chair and raced over to a sun-kissed blonde child that Eisaku had never seen before, but it was clear that his commanding officer knew. He watched at Utakata picked up the girl and swung her around as if he was her father; it was a truly heartwarming site. Eisaku heard a shout and turned in the direction, he saw 5 more genin running over to them with 2, what looked like to be jōnin walking calmly with the client.

"Ma~ Raiura-chan... you shouldn't run off like that..." the silver haired jōnin. Eisaku immediately recognized that this was the Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi. The other jōnin looked over to him, when saw her bright red eye, his first thought was that she was an Uchiha, but then remember that there were only 3 survivors and they were all male.

She gave a kind smile, "Who may you be?"

Eisaku blushed in embarrassment, "Apologies... Shimizu Eisaku..."

"Yūhi Kurenai... you must recognized Kakashi... the feral boy is Inuzuka Kiba... the Hyūga is Hinata... the sunglasses boy is Aburame Shino... the dark hair boy is Uchiha Sasuke... and the pink haired girl is Haruno Sakura..." as Kurenai introduced every genin, Eisaku's eye looked to each person, when his eyes finally land on Sakura, she looked directly right at him and the pink haired girl blushed.

Eisaku had a feeling that this was going to be quite the interesting mission.
