Oops almost forgot there are some notes I want you to know before I can begin:
The rookie 9 and Gai's old team don't exactly know about the jinchuuriki or they don't fully understand it.
Sasori wasn't killed but the Akasuki's attempt on Gaara has already happened.
Ok,… NOW ON WITH HIDING THE TRUTH!!
Chapter 2- Evil Plans Learned and Word from a Missing Ally
The next morning everyone woke up bright and early. Hinata was at the hospital with Ino checking over the injured and sick, Choji was scarfing down a BIG breakfast (FDC- HAHA!!) and Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee were training in Team Gai's old training grounds. Kiba and Akamaru were with Shino scouting the Leaf borders for sound-nin and Shikamaru went over to Suna to see how the war preparations were going over there (and going to see Temari) since Sound had declared war over Leaf and Sand.
In training grounds 3, Sasuke stood in front of his former sensei, Kakashi as well as Asuma, Kurenai and Gai. It was now time for him to take his test to see what his ninja level was now in Konoha, even though he left as a genin. Both Sakura and the Godaime stood off to the side to watch the tests go under way, when the Kage no Yume appeared next to the two unnoticed. The small female of the group spoke up, alerting everyone of their presence.
“Go-godaime-sama” the girl stuttered, “W-would it be a-alright if Shukaku-kun, Kyuubi-kun a-and I were to watch the f-fight?”
Tsunade's eyes widened a small fraction `Shukaku? Kyuubi? Why are her partners named after the demons of Suna and Konoha?' and as if reading her mind, the girl answered Tsunade's unasked question to everyone.
“They a-are named after the d-demons to remind them some-thing about their pa-pasts…they don't men-mention anything other than that”
Everyone who heard the small conversation and understood just nodded, the ones that didn't, just looked at her in utter confusion. Sakura stared at Kyuubi. For the small time that the Kage no Yume have been in Konoha, Sakura already had so many unanswered questions for him. She was curious to know why that man told them last night that somehow her old teammate would actually be fighting with them if he was thrown out of the village. She was also curious to know why the man kept glancing at her, Tsunade, Sasuke, Kakashi, heck all of the rookie 9 and Gai's former team, carefully. He even glanced at the direction of the ninja academy a couple of times. `CHA! What's up with this guy?!' Inner Sakura thought, `Nani? Why does he seem so interested in us? It's as if he's trying to look after us. Demo, it's not just him, it's his partners too…Demo…Doushite? I wish he would let us see what's under his hood and mask.'
Kyuubi looked over at Sakura. He had known that she was staring at him this whole time and it was beginning to get annoying. `Is she suspecting something?' he thought and voiced himself with a cover up.
“You've been staring at me for awhile now. Do you have a question for me?”
Sakura blushed and looked away, embarrassed that she had been caught staring. Both he and Sakura turned back to the fight.
Sasuke seemed to have the upper hand even though he was against four jounins. Suddenly, a big explosion shook the ground and Kyuubi and Shukaku disappeared when all the ninjas in the area went tense.
“Ikemasu! Sound is attacking the front gate! Our traps will not hold them off for long!” the Kage no Yume female cried. Everyone nodded towards the girl and looked off to Tsunade for orders.
“Sasuke! In light of these recent events, the rest of you test will be determined through this battle. I want both you and Sakura to enter this fight and work as a team. Kakashi, I want you and Gai to report to me what his level is, got it? Jariya, warn the others. The rest of you! Make sure that no sound-nin crosses the borders of Konoha! Ike!! I want all of you to stay alive!”
“Hai!”
The Kage no Yume female suddenly spoke up, “I r-realized that I ne-ver told you my name, my team calls me Kisa. That is the o-only name I will give y-you until I feel that I can fully trust this v-village.”
Everyone nodded and quickly moved out.
/The Battlefield/
“Looks like Orochimaru has been busy while we were gone! Ne, Shukaku?” Kyuubi yelled while slashing at another sound-nin.
“It doesn't matter, Kyuubi, these guys are like pests, they're too weak,” Shukaku replied, instantly taking down a couple more nins.
“Heh, too bad I can't use my favorite attacks, but who will I play with afterwards? All my enemies would be dead. Demo, this is fun too,” Kyuubi smirked, looking at all the sound-nins in the area, they were all glaring at him so bad that if looks could kill, then Kyuubi would be dead ten thousand times already.
In the bushes off to the side of Kyuubi's and Shukaku's battle, Kisa started giggling softly so that none of the sound-nins heard her, but the leaf-nins heard her almost too well.
“Giggle…they're at it again” Kisa laughed, “They always do this…especially around here and Suna”
“What do you mean Kisa-san?” Sakura whispered to the laughing girl.
Kisa turned to Sakura.
“W-when they f-fight a large group of e-enemies they've fought b-before or have after them, t-they start talking to each o-other in a way that de-grades them. It's an a-attempt to see if they can put up a good f-fight,” Kisa sighed, “ We'd better get a m-move on and join, or else t-there won't be any-more enemies to fight.”
Without another thought, Kisa jumped out of the bushes, attacking everyone in her range. Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and Gai soon followed this action, attacking everything in there path.
Sakura quickly leapt into a circle of sound-nin and punched the ground with a fistful of chakra that quickly made the surrounding area into a giant crater. From a distance, Kyuubi smirked under his mask `Looks like she hasn't changed a bit' he thought and attacked another nin.
Shukaku continued to play with his opponents by teleporting around them in a random pattern, slowly tiring his opponents until they had no more will to fight at all. It was then everyone heard a familiar loud voice that seemed to come from no pointed direction at all.
“SHUKAKU YAMATTE YO! STOP ANNOYING YOUR OPPONENTS! STOP PLAYING AROUND!”
Shukaku managed to mutter a “fine” before quickly silencing all his opponents with a kunai to the chest.
Sasuke, who was in another part of the clearing, smirked at the voice.
“It seems that I should stop playing around as well. Too bad,” He whispered to himself. Sasuke had been using his sharigan eyes to intimidate his opponents and then cut them down slowly, giving them pain. Sasuke looked over to Sakura and nodded.
Quickly signaling to their allies, Sasuke and Sakura quickly joined up together to finish the fight. After all the leaf-nin cleared the area in front of them, Sakura began to unleash a barrage chakra powered punches into the ground, making the enemy unable to move in now poor footing soils. After she finished Sakura began to help Sasuke make the ultimate contained firestorm that disintegrated everyone who was caught in it.
Once the battle was done and all the surviving sound-nin were taken as prisoners the Kage no Yume approached Tsunade, who was on her way to see the casualties.
“Hokage-sama! We have some important information we just found out! Come quickly!” Sabaku yelled.
Tsunade and the others quickly made their way back into the hokage's office. It was there when Shizune noticed that Kisa was holding onto a little child.
“Umm…Kisa-sama, who is that little girl behind you?”
The little girl turned her head away from Kisa and showed her face to everyone. What shocked them all was the sound haitai-te(sp?) that rested on her brow.
“Nani?! What's a sound-nin doing here? More importantly…why is she so young?” Shizune gasped
“Orochimaru has been attacking small non-ninja villages around Sound. He's been taking all of those villages inhabitants and forcing them to fight for the safety of their loved ones. This girl just proves everything.” Shukaku explained.
“Houto-ni?!” Sakura gasped in shock.
“The poor villagers…how can we help them…they must be so scared fighting under that wrenched man!” Hinata said, shutting her eyes in order to try and get the horrible images out of her head.
“Hmm…Orochimaru seems to put them in the front lines…that way his stronger fully trained nins are safer…as to not lose any force in this war. We can try to negotiate with the civilians that are caught in between and get them to safety, looks like we're going to have to call him after all, Shukaku.” Kyuubi thought out loud.
“Call who?” Tsunade asked, becoming more and more interested with the situation.
“Naruto of course,” Kyuubi said then he turned back to Shukaku and Kisa and began to talk to them, “How long until we see him? He hasn't responded and it's almost the full moon.”
“That's true, he hasn't sent us-”
Shukaku was interrupted by a large explosion in the distance. A few minutes pasted by the explosion when a small fox entered the office with a scroll attached to its mouth.
“Looks like we spoke too soon, ne Shukaku?” Kyuubi stated taking the scroll out of the creature's mouth. Tsunade and the others were still in a bit of shock when Kyuubi casually said that Naruto was going to help them when they heard Kyuubi begin to read the scroll out loud.
“Hey Kyuubi, Shukaku and Kit, how are you guys? I heard that you guys had been hired by Konoha to protect it from Sound. I hope it all goes well. I may have been pretty much booted out of the village, but it's still my home.
Oh yeah, I heard that Sasuke came back to the village. What's his rank now? It's still funny how I'm still technically a genin but I'm apparently as strong as a ANBU (so you say anyways) I got my work done, as you know I'm helping Gaara with his preparations, we should be ready in a couple of days.
I should be able to meet you; we can meet in the place where the heads meet the sky. You know where. It's up to you if you want to bring some of my friends over.
Anyways, how's Kit? Any better? I swear I will kill that snake for what he did, I promise, no one hurts someone I call family. Damn Kyuubi, you swearing is rubbing off on me now…I got to really stop it, chikuso. Well… it seems I have to go for now, Gaara wants to spar, see on the full moon. Naruto.”
Kyuubi took out a scroll and gave it to Tsunade, then he gave her a small instruction that she started willingly.
“I think Naruto wants to hear from you guys this time. We'll write a separate letter for him. I need this done by tomorrow. Will it be done?”
“Hai, michiron” Tsunade responded with a determined look. The rest of the rooms occupants looked at Tsunade, hoping that they could get a word in the letter, she nodded and its seemed like a big weight was lifted from the atmosphere.
End.
FDC- here…I'm finally done this chapter…sorry, I know it took me long enough…but then you try and kick everyone off the computer. Please R&R or I won't update!!
