”Alright team, listen up. This is Tazuna, the bridge builder we are escorting. The priority is making sure he lives, and completes his bridge project. That understood?” Kakishi said.
”Of course.” Naruto and company said togethor.
”Due to some circ.u.mstances, another team will be going with.” The Hokage said. The door opened to reveal Kai, Arianna, Nines, and the Quints.
”Hi there.” Kai said. ”I will just be around so to speak. Kinda going on a family outing.” Nines and Arianna were smirking. ”They have never been, soo yah know. Good as time as any.”
”We are gonna travel all over!” The Quints said togethor.” They were the most excited to leave with Kai. When Tsume came with, things were always boring. She took care of any danger before they could act. Tsume was protective of them more than people knew.
The fact she let them travel with Kai, was to give them a little independence. To the village, the Quints were just rambunctious 6 year olds. In fact they were about that age. Until they grew a bit more, Kai and Tsume thought it best to keep them in the current time setting. After this mission however, they would go to a special dimension the same as some of the others that had a faster timeline.
”Yeah big cousin Naruto, you better not screw up your first big mission. If you do I am telling TenTen on you.” Nines pointed to Naruto with a grin. ”But Sakura will keep your booboo all healed I bet.” She made a kissy face at the two.
”Heh!” Sasuke smirked.
”Why you little stinker.” Natuto grumbled at his little cousin. He didnt say anything else as he folded his arms.
”Hehe,” Sakura chuckled. ”See Naruto has grown up. He wont take the bait that easy.”
”Uh huh, he has gotten a little kooler.” Nines smiled agreeing.
”This is the group that is going to protect me? A bunch of kids?” Tazuno grumbled. ”I need better than this!”
”Tch.” Nines jumped over and held her hand at his throat drawing blood. ”Ara, what a stupid old man. Grumbling despite not knowing things.”
”Gulp!” Tazuno took a swallow as he then wet his pants. 'Those eyes are dangerous.' He stared at Nines blue eyes that shined with malice. ”It was just a joke is all.”
”You didnt even notice you were in a illusion. A man of your age should be more careful. You might loose your head.” Nines stepped back. ”Even a non ninja can detect some traces with enough willpower. Your willpower, happens to be lacking old man.”
”An illusion?!” Tazuno watched as the area turned wavy before returning to normal. ”When did that happen?”
”You should not underestimate our ninja.” The Hokage said with an edge in his voice. ”We would not assign kids as you put it. Everyone that is going, is from a strong clan. As well as top in the fields.”
”Right. I am sorry forgive me.” Tazuno bowed in apology. The rest of the conversation went smoothly afterward. They took tine out for the man to go change his pants as well. They all left to go to the main gate and move out.
”So what can we expect on this mission?” Naruto asked Sasuke.
”A few rogue ninja I imagine. Maybe two or three ambushes at best.” Sasuke said. He reached in his bag and pulled out a book. ”Let's see.. ah yeah there are a few rogue ninja that operate around this area till our destination. The lowest is around chunin. Highest is anbu.”
”Haa sounds like a difficult mission.” Sakura sighed. ”Ah well, more practice.” She was the closest to Tazuno with Naruto in front of her. Shino remained a good bit off the bath communing with bugs getting info as they moved. To the side, was Sasuke about even with Naruto. ”I will do a little recon.” Going through the hands signs, she created a shadow clone to scout the area up ahead.
”Wait, let me send some with.” Naruto went through the signs and created 4 clones. The clones then turned into 4 random ninja with Mist headbands. ”That should help.”
”Oh you have been studying.” Sakura smiled. ”That is good.”
”Humph he still needs better attacking skills.” Sasuke added. ”You should come over and learn some. We can make a bet out of it.”
”You gamble to much.” Naruto waved his hands in front of his face. He was tired of losing his money and new skills he picked in wagers. ”No thanks.”
”Woosh!” The clones then took off to do recon.
'Leader,' Gemini transmitted from Kai's shadow. ”..we are finally going to destroy that smuggling operation and drug facility?'
'Correct. With Tazuno coming for aid, it is the perfect chance to go in officially.' Kai answered back. 'As well see what has happened in the Mist Village. For some reason the fog the covers the places is way thicker than normal. And talks of strange chakra beast in the area leave much to be d.e.s.i.r.ed.'
'Do you think it has something to do with disappearance of the Mizukage?' Gemini asked skeptically.
'I do not know. But we will find out.' Kai said ad he stroked his chin. He felt a pair of eyes on him and looked down. ”What is it Nines?”
”When do I get put on a ninja team?” She had her hands on her h.i.p.s. She tried to look demanding but it failed. ”I mean, I know the Quints are having to wait, but why do I have to.”
”Because I rather you wait.” Arianna answered. She stared at her daughter intently. ”Right now the only ones I feel comfortable on the same team as you are the Quints. The rest not so much. And they have a good cohesive unit already. You cannot join TenTen's squad. They are mile's ahead of the others.”
”But it would be great to be with them.” Nines said. ”I just think I could provide a lot to their team.”
”No.” Kai said sternly. ”The difference in skill would be to much. You just learn to become a ninja really. Your first kill was supervised and against a chakra beast at that. Killing a person is different. If you have not grasp that yet, then maybe you should not be a ninja just yet?”
”No! I inderstand!” Ninies yelled. Covering her mouth she released she should not have done that. ”I.. am going to join them on recon to make up for the outburst just now.”
Her mother gave her a nod and Nines made 12 clones and shot off.
”Thank you for that.” Arianna grabbed Kai by the sleeve. ”Always playing the bad guy. It makes things so much easier. She is so different from Arietta. So eager to prove herself.”
”Yeah.. I can not understand why though? We have given all the support we can, as well as restrict from things she is not ready for mentally. Hmmm...” Kai wanted to be sure of something. ”Jaws go ahead and tail her. Gemini keep an eye on the Quints.”
”Woosh!” A blur left his hair and shot off.
”Bwoom!” Gemini left his shadow and shot off towards the Quints.
”Expecting trouble?” Arianna asked.
”No. but never to careful.” Kai assured her. Everything went smooth for the next few hours. Once they stopped to make camp, Kakishi came up to Kai. ”Yes?”
”So about Hana...” He rubbed the bottom of his neck. The man was nervous. Despite thinking of several ways to break it to Kai. ”We have been dating awhile. A few years to be exact and.. Ugh. This id harder than I thought. I wanted to let you know we got married on the mission we took to the Land of Tea.”
”Ok.” Kai said flatly.
”Ok? That is it? You are not angry?” Kakishi asked to make sure. He was expecting the man to at least yell at him. ”Well.. I don't know what to say.”
”Me neither.” Kai said either disappointment. ”You are both grown and she defintely dod not trust me enough to tell me. No matter, it is done now. Best of luck with your marriage.” Turning to the side and peering into the distance, Kai saw a few Stone ninja. The Quints had a few traps not to far from the location. ”I wonder if we will have to eliminate all of them?”
”I hope not.” Kakishi said. His voice was grave as he spoke. Something about what was going on bothered him. Only time will tell though. ”So the reports are true. The Stone village is trying to take over the Land of Waves in its entirety. With the leaders mostly missing, the place is ripe for the picking.”
”Yeah...” Kai droned out. ”But it is fine. It is not the Leaf Village's concern. Anyway, I have something to do.”
”Tut!” Kai kicked of the ground and disappeared into the distance. He went about 30 miles in one direction then 200 in another. His target was waiting for him.
”Hum?” A Rain ninja was their waiting. The man's build was quite the thing to see. A very buff ninja with long hair that was jet black. In his mouth was rebreather to prevent others from taking in his toxic fumes. ”Back in the day, no one could sneak up on me.”
