{Three hours later}

 

"FOR CRYING OUT LOUD MASTER KAKASHI!!" Sakura yelled at the elite ninja, "WOULD IT KILL YOU TO BE ON TIME! JUST ONCE! JUST ONE FREAKIN TIME!!"

Kakashi chuckled, "Sorry. I would have been early, but mutated man-eating rabbits attacked me. I had to fend them off single handedly!"

The three younger ninja sweat dropped.

 

"It wouldn't kill you to come up with a decent lie either,” Naruto added. "Well anyway, what's today's mission! I'm ready, willing and able."

Sakura laughed at him; "Actually you're just ignorant, arrogant, and stupid."

"And you're just Manish, freakish, and ugly,” Naruto retorted.

"You son of a bitch."

 

"That would make you my mother!"

"Why you little - “ Sakura wrapped her hands tightly around the teen's throat, and squeezed as hard as she could.

"Can't.... Breath...see..White light.... Help."

"Don't you think you should help him?" Sasuke asked Kakashi, who at the moment was reading a page of his 'Make-out paradise' book.

 

Kakashi looked up from the book, "Help out with what?" Sasuke pointed to Sakura and a near dead Naruto, "Hey you two! Cut it out! Why can't you two just get along,” Kakashi said as he easily pried the two apart. "You guys are sixteen! Act your age and not your I.Q!"

"She's always picking on me!" Naruto whined.

Sakura snorted, "You're the one who picks on me!"

 

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!

"Do not!

"SHUT UP!" Kakashi yelled as he dropped both of them to the ground, "Now, I forgot to mention yesterday that there would be no missions for you today. I have an important meeting with the Hokage."

 

"So what are we supposed to do?!” Sakura asked.

Naruto smiled, "I'm going to see if master Iruka can take me to the noodle bar!"

Kakashi shook his head, "No can do. He has to go to the meeting as well. Why don't you three go do something? Just refrain from killing each other, ok?" With that said, Kakashi left them.

 

"Um...Sasuke?" Sakura asked timidly. "I was wondering...since we aren't doing anything today.... Would you...like to go out...with me?"

Sasuke began to walk away, "Uh...nope, no thanks. I'm going into the woods to train. Later you two."

 

***************************************************************** *****************

 

Kagayaku and Amadare walked into the Hokage's chamber, where he sat quietly, waiting for the two. He and his servants bowed to them as they sat down in front of him.

"It is an honor to finally meet you Hokage of the land of tree and leaf,” Kagayoku said politely.

The Hokage smiled, "It is an even greater honor for me to finally meet you, great Kage of the Shadow Mystics. " He looked at Amadare, "And you as well, honored wife."

 

Just as the introductions were finished, Iruka and Kakashi entered the room. The Hokage motioned for them to take a seat next to Kagayoku, and her wife, "You understand why I called upon you two on this day, do you not?"

Iruka nodded, "To some extent."

"Well rest assured, by the days end, all will be explained. As for now I would like to introduce you to the Supreme Kage and her wife...."

 

***************************************************************** *****************

 

Sakura walked alone, back to her home. She sighed. How could she ever hope to win Sasuke over? He was so stubborn, and cold. How could someone like her, ever hope to understand someone like him? They were too different, and had almost nothing in common. She stopped walking and took a moment to sit down on one of the benches that lined the quiet and empty road to her home.

 

"I'd give anything to have Sasuke for one night,” She said. "Absolutely anything." She sighed again. She stood up and began her steady trek to her home. 'No matter what,” She thought to herself. 'I will have him. One way or another.'

 

***************************************************************** *****************

 

"You're getting much better,” Sasuke complimented Naruto.

The blond smiled, "Of course I have. I've been training hard."

"Keep it up and you might even become stronger than me."

"You really think so?"

Sasuke and Naruto had been training together in the woods for most of the day. Just because they didn't have any missions, didn't mean they couldn't brush up on a few skills. Sasuke stood from his spot next to Naruto on the grass-covered ground.

 

He looked off into the horizon, with a blank, cold stare. "But I have to get even better. No matter what. I made a promise, and I'll keep it. I will get him."

Naruto sighed. He knew exactly whom Sasuke was speaking off. His older brother, Itachi. "Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"Why?"

 

"Why what?"

"Why won't you let it go?"

"Because I swore I would kill him. I have to." Sasuke still he'd his back to Naruto.

"Says who?"

"I don't know!" He said louder than he meant, and then added in a whisper, "Everyone."

"A man who doesn't think on his own is no man at all."

Sasuke smiled at him, "Since when did you become a nerdy genius?"

 

"I haven't. That's your title. I'm not an idiot all the time."

"Hey, watch it! I'll tickle you to death!"

Naruto's eyes became wide, "No you wouldn't!"

"Watch!" He fell pinned Naruto to the ground and tickled him mercilessly.

 

***************************************************************** *****************

 

"WHAT?!" Iruka yelled, thinking over the information the Hokage had just told him.

Kakashi nodded, "Well I'll be dipped in shit and rolled in bread crumbs, ain't that something?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back it up lets start this again, rewind, and let me get this straight. There really is a land of Mystics?"

The Hokage nodded, "Yes."

"So it's not just a bedtime myth?"

"No."

"And the ninja's that reside there are the strongest in the world?"

"True."

 

"And they have extreme magickal power and abilities? And know all of the techniques of all the other five lands? Even the forbidden ones?"

"Yes."

"And this woman is the Supreme Kage? The strongest of all ninja's?" He asked in disbelief, pointing to Kagayoku.

"That is correct."

"And Amadare is her...wife?"

"Yes."

 

He plopped back down to the ground, "My head hurts now."

Kakashi smiled, "Oh come on, it isn't that hard to believe. The only question now is why are they here?"

"Well,” Kagayoku said. "You may not believe this, but we need your help......"

 

***************************************************************** *****************

 

"I can barely breath!" Naruto gasped when Sasuke finally stopped tickling him.

"I warned you." He got up from the ground and stretched out his hand to Naruto, pulling up as well. He looked at the setting sun; "We should be getting back to the village."

"Can we stop at the - “ Before the blond could finish his sentence he screamed in pain as a shuriken came from seemingly no where and sliced his left arm wide open.

 

Sasuke caught him as he sank to the ground, "Naruto!"

"Wh - where...did t - that come from,” He questioned, in between gasp of pain.

"I - “ He picked up Naruto and jumped into a nearby tree, just in time to avoid another shuriken aimed at his leg. "Who is there?!" He yelled, more out of anger than fear.

"My, my,” A deep threatening voice echoed. "You are a feisty thing aren't you?"

 

"Who are you?! Show yourself!" He could hear the rustle of leaves as who ever it was, leaped from tree to tree. He held onto Naruto tighter, his protective instincts kicking in. He wasn't prepared for what happened next. He suddenly felt the pain of being kicked out of the tree. He turned himself in midair so that his back hit the ground full force, protecting Naruto.

 

He looked up and saw a man standing on the same branch he had been on moments before. His hair was long and he held three shuriken in his right hand. He wore a pair of cameo pants and no shirt, but he had his stomach wrapped in bandages. But it wasn't because of an injury, just what he liked to wear. Sasuke looked at the mans hitai - ate. On it was a pentalpha. As if that was reason enough to suspect this man was far from normal, Sasuke looked into his eyes and felt his blood run cold. The mans eyes, were black. Solid black, even the part that should have been white, and on his forehead was tattooed the sign of the pentagram.

 

'What is he?!' Sasuke thought. 'A rouge maybe?' He looked over at Naruto and cursed himself. The shuriken cut so deep you could just make out the bone, and blood covered the ground. Naruto had already passed out, either from pain, shock, or the fall, Sasuke wasn't sure, but he knew he needed help. And fast. "Who are you?" Sasuke asked, standing up and placing his hand on his shuriken holster.

The man laughed, "My name is Enigma. You are?"

 

"About to kill you” He prepared for an attack, but someone beat him to it.

He didn't see the person but he heard a woman's voice yell out, "FORBIDDEN WATER STYLE! WATER VIPER TECHNIQUE!" To Sasuke's shock and surprise, a huge water based viper rose out from the ground and crashed into Enigma, crushing him to the ground with such a force he was buried into the ground at least ten feet. Then it evaporated. That's when he saw Kakashi, Sakura, Iruka, and two unknown women (Kagayoku and Amadare) running towards him and Naruto.

 

"Are you okay?!" The younger female asked. From the sound of her voice he knew instantly it was her who had saved him and Naruto with that forbidden art. He pointed to Naruto and she immediately dropped down to his side. "You guys straighten this out, I'll go take him back to the Hokage where I can help him!"

 

The other woman looked into the pit made by Enigma; "He's already gone!”

The first one raised her head to the sky and let out an inhuman cry between a scream and a war cry. Sakura was about to ask what she was doing, but was soon answered when a large beast stormed out of the woods and stopped next to the woman. It resembled a female lion, but the red strips on its body made them wonder if it was tiger. The eyes of the best were also a red rosy color. It didn't really look evil or dangerous. The only thing intimidating about it was it's immense size and it's visible fangs.

 

With Naruto in her arms, she jumped onto the beast's back, holding onto the shinobi with one arm, and the collar of the animal with the other.

"I'm going too!" Iruka insisted. He jumped on behind her.

 

"Amadare let me take them instead!" The older one said.

Amadare shook her head, "No. Ame is faster than Alecto."

"But what if Enigma comes after you!"

"My attack injured him to greatly. He'll be out of our hairs for a while."

"Fine. Please, be careful."

Kakashi looked at Iruka, "You too."

 

Amadare gripped Ame's collar tightly, "Ame! Ride!" At the command Ame sped off into the woods at a sped none of the others had ever seen of or thought possible.

Sakura ran up to Sasuke, "Sasuke are you alright?"

He snapped, "Did you not see what the freaky guy did to Naruto?! Did you ask if he was okay?! Get away from me!"

Sakura clapped her hand over her mouth and cast her eyes downward, why would Sasuke be so worried about Naruto? Sure, they were friends, but Sasuke never got that upset when she was hurt. And what were they doing in the forest together? Naruto didn't say he was going to train.

 

"I promise you Naruto will be just fine,” Kagayoku said to Sasuke. "Amadare is the best healer alive. He's in the best care he can be in."

"Who was that man? And what did he want? I want answers!"

"And you shall have them, but now we must also head to the village." Kagayoku mad a sound very similar to the one Amadare made earlier, but a little deeper. Just like with Amadare a great best stormed out of the woods. But Hers looked different. This one had black fur, red strips, and a mane of hair, signifying he was a male. He was also a little bigger than Ame.

 

"That must be Alecto,” Sakura guessed.

Kagayoku jumped onto it's back, "Yes, he is. This is Ame's mate."

"What...exactly are they?"

"Ligers. The offspring of a lion and tiger." (I know the ligers I described aren't like the real one's, but this is a fanfic!)

"But...I've never seen one before. Until now that is."

"There aren't too many. They're very rare. Sasuke, you ride with Kakashi, and me, you carry Sakura. Alecto isn't as fast as Ame, but I know Sakura can't keep up."

 

Before he climbed onto Alecto he noticed Kagayoku's headband and froze, "That's the same sign Enigma has on his head band!"

"I know full well. Come. As I have already said, when we get to the village I will explain everything."
