Chapter 29

 

~Haru's Decision~

 

 

“Haru-sensai?” Haru turned her head so she could face the young genin smiling down at her, “yes, Maeko?” The blue headed girl shyly smiled back, “um exactly what is our mission?” Haru faced forward again as she answered, “well, we are to escort mister Kumo here back to the village hidden in the grass.” Maeko looked to the man they were escorting, he turned and gave a small nod of his head. Yoshiro piped in, “yeah well I hope we run into some ninja, I want to fight!” “Why so you can get your ass kicked?” Yoshiro turned and jumped into Shoda's face, “you wana fight, dumbass!” “Ok that's enough!” Haru appeared in between the two genin, “now, focus on the mission. A ninja must focus otherwise you could loose your life.” The two boys tsked and stubbornly turned their heads in the opposite directions. Haru sighed and rubbed her temples. Now I see what Kakashi-sensai meant about another Naruto….not to mention another Sauske. “ok look let's keep going.” Haru started walking. Soon the three genin were in the lead and Haru was back by Kumo. “So, is this your first time leading a team?” he asked. Haru smiled, “yeah, but I'm not new to the whole babysitting thing.” She laughed as she watched his face lighten up at her remark. “So, Mr. Kumo, why did you need to escorted?” He looked down at his feet, “well it's because I carry an important scroll with me, and if it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be disastrous for our village.” Haru studied his face reading for any sighs of lying, which there were none. “Well don't worry we'll get you there safe and sound.” She smiled. Kumo smiled and nodded his head, “Thank you.”

 

“There he is.” “Well wait for the signal. We don't move until then.”

 

“Hey Shoda?” “What?” “Stupid.” Haru rolled her eyes. “Will you two knock it off! Your not even acting like ninja!” “Sorry sensai.” Yoshiro whined. “Feh, dumbass.” Shoda breathed out. “Please you two, remember what Kakashi-sensai had said we need to work as a team.” Maeko pleaded with her two fuming team mates. Haru smiled and was about to say something when a noise caught her attention. Stopping in her tracks she looked over to her right, staring in the direction of the noise. Nothing. I must be hearing things….wait what's that…chakra? “Monji formation, NOW!” Haru yelled to the three, who quickly took up their positions around Kumo. Haru took up position in the front, hand resting on the hilt of her sword. Soon the five were faced with black clothed ninja. Haru glared at the ninja in front of her, “State your business?” I can't tell what village their from, no headbands. “All we want is him.” The large one in the middle pointed out. Haru tsked, “well you can't have him.” “Fine then we will take him by force, killing you and those three brats with you.” Haru glanced back at the three genin, “Over my dead body!” The three genin's eyes were wide with surprise. She barley even knows us, and she's willing to lay her life down for us? Shoda thought. “STAY BACK!” Haru yelled to the genin, pulling her sword from her back and holding it out in front of her. The men in front of her laughed, “you think you can defeat us?” Haru smirked, “Damn straight.” “feh, kill the bitch, the kids and bring me Kumo.” Haru pulled her sword back and vanished. “What?! Where did she go?” one of the ninja yelled as he frantically looked around, catching sight of her right before she cut him down with a blow to the neck. The genin gasped at the sight before them. Yes, they were ninja but yet have they encountered a real battle, one were you will loose your life if you fail. Jumping back in front of the team she readied her blade once more. Now angry the ninja charged at once, Haru built up her chakra and sticking her blade in the ground she managed to pull off some hand sighs, “Raging Fire Winds!” throwing her hands out in front of her palms out and thumbs interlocked she released a blast of fiery wind. “Aaarrggghhh!” the ninja screamed as they were engulfed by the flames, giving Haru enough time to get the team out of the area.

 

“Sensai, what do we do now?” Shoda shouted. Without looking back she kept going, “We have to get to a safe area, I can't hold them off alone.” Glancing around, she found a cave like entrance. Jumping down and the rest following she ushered them in. We're not that far from Konoha “Look you three head back to the village as soon as the area is cleared.” “But we can't abandon the mission!” Yoshiro shouted. “And you won't be! This is bigger then the original mission we were assigned. Your mission now is to imform the Hokage about what is going on, now listen produce me a shadow clone of each of you. With those, Kumo and my self we will attempt to make it to the grass village.” Turning her attention to Kumo she asked him sternly, “Now tell me exactly why they are after you, what do you have that is so important?” Kumo lowered his head pulling it back up to look her in the eyes, “It's a peace treaty with Konoha. We have established that we are allies, and some of the villagers didn't want the alliance, so they started a revolt. Our Lord figured if he could get a signed treaty then the revolt would stop and we would be at peace once again.” “So they want the scroll to keep the alliance from being finalized?” “Yes.” Haru sighed as she looked to the genin and nodded her head. The three performed the task of producing three clones. “Now, I know these will disappear once we get away far enough, but once we are out of sight, RUN!” Shaking their heads the acknowledged they understood. Glancing around outside of the cave she could feel their presence getting closer, “alright let's go.”

 

“THERE THEY ARE!” “Get them!” soon Haru, Kumo and the genin clones were being perused. Their voices becoming softer as they headed away from the cave, peering around the corner, Shoda gave the all clear signal and the three were headed back to Konoha.

 

“HARU!” Kumo yelled as he lost his footing and began to plummet to the ground. Catching his hand she hoisted him up onto her branch. “Well who would of thought that you would use shadow clones? So where are the real brats?” Haru smirked, “Probably at the front gates of Konoha.” The ninja threw a glance to the leader, who by Haru's sense, wasn't a happy camper. “You have just sighed your death. We'll take her too.” “Alive, sir?” “Yes, I have plans for her.” Haru stood her ground in front of Kumo, “stay near me.” She instructed. “Sure.” He stuttered out.

 

Izumo and Kotetsu were sitting at the entrance of Konoha, laid back and looking really bored. “Aaaahhh.” Izumo groaned. “Ha what's the matter you look like you are about to fall out of your seat?” Izumo cracked an eye at his partner, “very funny. You know damn well that this is B.O.R.I.N.G.” Kotetsu laughed, but then stopped when he noticed that the three genin that had just left with Haru were returning with OUT her. Running through the gates, Shoda hollered out that they needed to get to the Hokage, and fast! Leaving the two chunnin sitting wide mouthed at the gates entrance, the three didn't turn or slow down. Running through the building and making their way to the Hokage's office they burst through the door. “LORD HOKAGE!” Tsunade stood from her desk, slamming her hands on the desk, “What is the meaning of this!” recognizing that it was the team, that supposedly just left on an escort mission, her face turned from anger to one of concern. “What is it?” she asked. Shoda stood from his knelt position on the floor, ignoring the other two occupants of the room, “Lady Hokage, Haru and Kumo are being chased. The Grass village has started a revolt against the signed treaty. They are after it and Kumo. Haru-sensai sent us here in hopes in attaining help.” Tsunade's eyes widened and before she could speak the other two were gone. Damn it! “SHIZUNE!”

 

Out of breathe and low on chakra, Haru stood bloodied and bruised. “You given up yet, bitch?” Haru hissed, “Stop calling me that, dick.” Standing in a defensive stance in front of Kumo, who him self was injured and unconscious. Trying his beat to help the girl out, but unfortunately didn't do too well. Shit! I'm running low on chakra. Haru studied her surroundings trying to find some way to turn it around in her favor. Not giving her a chance, one of the ninja charged wielding his own sword. Haru managed to keep him away from landing a hit, but unfortunately her attention was turned to Kumo, who was now being hoisted up and onto the leaders shoulder. “HEY PUT HIM DOWN!” Haru yelled dodging another blow and charging at the leader. What's…going….on Haru's vision began to blur and her body was starting to fall to the ground. Not paying attention to her left she was hit with a lightning blast, not enough to kill her, but enough to stop her in her tracks. Soon she was consumed with darkness her thoughts left to linger. Picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder the ninja disappeared, leaving behind nothing more than traces of blood and remnants of a fight.

 

“Damn it! We're too late!” Kneeling down at a pool of blood, they punched the ground beside it. “Calm down. They couldn't have gone far, you heard the boy, there from Grass, and most likely headed back there.” Looking over to the other voice, they answered, “Let's go then.” with that the two were gone, leaving dust and the rustling of leaves in their wake.
