I do not own the rights to Naruto
But I do have a Hitae-ate with the leaf symbol on it
So it all works out right?
`What is he up to,' Gaara thought, eyebrows furrowed in concentration the index and middle finger of his left hand were against his ear while his ring and pinky finger of his right were pressed against his eye. Gaara sat quietly in the shadow of the Kazekage's office's upper roof. He was hidden on the lower rook in a place that he often went to spy on what his devious Otou-san was up to. `I'll admit this girl is good but against a Jounin? She can't be any more than fifteen. Its suicide to put her up against such a high rank. Does he want to go to war with Konoha?'
Atashi's eyes searched the Kazekage. Was he serious? He wanted her to prove herself in blood. She sighed mentally `As much as I don't want to do this…' “If this is the only way for me to prove myself to then so be it Kazekage-sama. I am prepared to show you just how serious I am.”
“Very good. Just what I'd expect from a young Jounin diplomat,” the Kazekage spoke a slight smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
`Wait. She's a Jounin?' ( For those who don't know who this is its Gaara.)
A whirl of sand appeared and out stepped a ninja. His face was obscured with bandages, his dust brown hair sticking out at random intervals. He stood his head tilted to the side in a listening sort of way. His hands were covered in dusty white strips of cloth. His clothes were minimal, nothing more than a ragged pair of black pants and a shredded sweat stained shirt that clung to his rippling muscles.
Despite his appearance, Atashi was dully impressed, in fact she was disappointed. The sand Nin before her was battle worn and blood thirsty. He was a mindless killer that only did what the Kazekage told him to do. He was slightly crippled in his right leg and had suffered severe damage to his right arm at a very young age. She also concluded that he was a taijutsu master that had limited ninjutsu to work with. They were most likely wind related used to track down and/or restrain one's opponent. Not a challenge at all, in fact it was rather insulting. All of this information came to Atashi within the first two seconds of observation.
“Ichimaru-san meet your opponent Osaki-san. I expect one of you to be dead within the moment. Go.”
A quick inhale and it was over.
To the normal eye, Osaki had disappeared into thin air and Atashi had shifted slightly on her feet. To the Kazekage's eyes Atashi had also, though briefly, disappeared. To a demon retainer's eyes Atashi hadn't just simply disappeared.
Atashi had immediately went after Osaki, catching him as he reappeared above her. Faster than what the Kazekage's eyes could track, she took out five kunai and crucified the ninja to the ceiling embedding a kunai into each palm and foot. To top it off she used the remaining kunai, which had been dipped in poison to slit her opponent's throat and kill him instantly since the poison was made to instantly kill off the brain.
The Kazekage's eyes shifted to a very brief glaze of surprise before hardening again. Blood trickled down from the ceiling to the floor around Atashi in the five points of a star. The blood splattered up upon her white kimono top and bandaged legs. She didn't even flinch at the blood that had trickled down Osaki's body and dropped onto her forehead to travel down over her eyebrow and down the side of her face.
“You have my approval, kunoichi. I accept you as a diplomatic link between our countries. Congratulations, Ichimaru-san,” h e smiled looking up at the body pinned to the ceiling.
`You psychotic bastard.' “I am honored that you accept me Kazekage-sama.”
“As you should be. I am giving you permission to stay at my home with my children, Temari and Kankuro. I will give you this,” he said picking up a scroll from his desk, “This will explain to them why you will be here for the next ten years. You are dismissed. I will call for you when you are once again needed. Until then I await our next meeting.”
Atashi nodded grasping the scroll and taking it from the Kazekage's hand. Out of politeness Atashi gave a quick bow before disappearing from the room.
`He took joy out of death, that basturd. I wish this could have been a simple assassination mission but no it can't happen like that. This is a diplomatic mission and I will complete it no matter what the consequences are.'
`You are dead set on this aren't you?'
`I am and there is no way for you to change my mind.'
`Very well. You can contact me if you change your mind or need help.'
`Which won't happen.'
Atashi walked outside, again into the glowing sunset. Sighing in relief she strolled into the street. It was peaceful, the gentle sound of the wind, the chattering of people as they finished up their latest purchases, the light laughter of children as they ran down the street. `Just like Konoha,' she smiled watching two children fly down the street after a stray dog.
Gaara recalled his sand, having no more reason to pursue the kunoichi. His hands clenched into fists. The last thing he needed was some strange girl in his house, especially one he had underestimated due to her innocent appearance. He refused to have her living with him. He glared down at her as she stood in the street watching the end day activities. There was nothing he could do about it though, if he killed her, no doubt, Konoha would declare war on Suna thus making everything in his life more complicated. The best he'd be able to manage was avoiding her. He jumped form the roof and disappeared into the shadows and went home, hoping to avoid the kunoichi for the rest of his life.
A toll went odd sending Atashi back into the real world from her thoughts. `Night already? I guess its time to go `home.''
