Recovering and Healing
Captain Kawahana is leading her
team through the thick forest
of Konoha. She was
heading towards some contacts she met during a couple ANBU missions she did in
the last year. Coming to think of it, her start in ANBU was a rough one. She
arrived at the hospital as Godaime instructed her and collapsed at the
registration desk. When her mind came back, she could hear someone chatting.
“Are you sure, you want to let
her into ANBU? It has been more then a month since she entered the hospital.”
Yuki blacked out again. The next
time she became conscious again, she could open her eyes, but nobody was there.
After three month she regained enough strength to move around a little, she was
able to walk.
“So you have recovered, but what
use will you be now to us? You can barely walk, let alone fight,” a masked
shinobi appears next to her.
“I can complete my missions. I’ll
prove it to you. I will not be a burden,” Yuki answered.
Though from the looks of it, the
ANBU captain was very doubtful. “If you insist report to the Godaime then. Here
are you ANBU equipment.” He handed her a scroll.
Reporting the Godaime, “Why are
you out of the hospital? You can barely walk.”
“I am fit for missions
Godaime-sama,” Yuki answered.
“I doubt that, you can barely
fight,” Shizune interrupted the Godaime. “We have this urgent assassination
mission, but the current team lost one of its members in a previous mission.
This mission cannot be delayed any longer Godaime-sama.”
Godaime was looking at her tablet
and thinking. “Yuki go support them, there is no other ANBU left in Konoha
right now.
“Yes, ma’am.”
She put on her mask, which
resembled a raccoon and went ahead to meet the team she was assigned to. Her
mission was to eliminate a criminal lord and his inner circle in a far off
country, the lord was making to much ruckus for both his residing country and
Konoha.
Arriving at the capitol the three
man team began gathering information immediately. They came to the conclusion
that posing as actors would be the best way to gain access into the underground
organization. All three joined a very small group of actors, who look at the
three as poor siblings looking for a way to survive in the harsh world.
Through hard work and a lot of
mistakes the three learned to perform, dance and sing. Yuki though strived
harder then the other two, always feeling as to wanting to prove them wrong
about her. With the aid of the ninja’s the group soon became more famous within
the capitol and also attracted the attention of the underground organization.
The other teammates looked in awe as Yuki at the end of the six month surpassed
their performance drawing the attention of the crowd towards her. At first the
team supported her but soon, jealous eyes were followed.
Yuki didn’t understand the cold stare
at first and only tried even harder to impress her team. The performance
continued drawing in crowds and even the big daddy was moved.
Soon the performers were invited
to a personal performance for the big daddy and his inner circle.
The three performed a Greek drama
and dance though an opportunity for assassinating the circle did not arise as
hoped. Later the same evening the host asked the three actors to stay for the
ball and dining party he was hosting. At the ball the three shinobi were swarmed
by males and females alike, wishing to discuss the art and performance they did
earlier. Someone in the crowd asked for a dance and before they knew it, they
were dancing with the many people in ball. The commanding males in the
organization were particularly interested in having a dance with Yuki as her
dance was exciting and rousing at the same time. Soon all the inner members
were assembling together in a circle even the big daddy was there all staring
at her dance. It was the best chance they would ever get to slaying so many at
once. As Yuki was preparing for the attack, she felt two cold, jealous stares
fixed on herself. Yet, this was the only chance and concentrating on the task
ahead, she captivated her audience one more time, spinning around, before
performing a handstand backwards revealing her leg and skin. The crowd of males
was in awe and not noticing that as Yuki landed she was performing hand seals.
“Ice elemental- Ice Chain.” A spiked-chain extends from her stretched out left
arm, piercing the big daddy in front of her. “Ice elemental- Dance of the
sleeping dragon.” With a circular motion she swung the chain in a circle,
cutting all her spectators throat. Before anyone could react, a pool of blood
gooses out of the circle the males. The guards trying to rouse the alarm were
quickly slain by the other two members. As performers the team left the
mansion. Out of sight they switched in their ANBU clothing before rushing back
to Konoha.
Not until the next morning did
the remaining guards noticed the slaughter. Finally back in Konoha, the team
debriefed in front of Godaime. The leader described their mission objectively,
but when it came to mentioning Yuki's action, there was always a jealous
undertone in his voice. Godaime was just glad they returned safely from their 6
month long mission.
Yuki didn’t understand the
undertone her leader was giving her and after debriefing she asked him.
“Oh that. I don’t know what you
are talking about,” he replied coldly. It was as if he doesn’t want to give in
to whatever it was and it hurt Yuki to see her leader look her in that way. Her
other teammate, too, wasn’t much nicer then her leader.
After thinking about it, she just
couldn’t figure it out. The only thing that came to her mind was, she did
perform better then her teammates during the dancing and was holding the
attention of her targets. But why would that cause them to behave towards her
in a hurtful way? Why would being better then them create such a jealous
feeling towards her? She couldn’t understand.
Within a week Yuki was assigned
to another team. They had another assassination mission. They were to hunt down
group of A rank ninjas. It didn’t take long before they found the missing
ninjas. Ambushing them, the three man team was planning on teamwork to take out
the ninjas. Yet, soon after engaging the enemy, Yuki found herself suffocating
her enemy in her “Crimson Ice Prison” before aiding at teammate defeat the
assigned enemy. This one too fell victim to her
“Crimson Ice Prison” and not before long the remaining one enemy was watching
out for Yuki’s signature jutsu. When finally facing the last enemy, Yuki
noticed the hateful eyes directed at her. It felt different from just the
intention of death; it hurt more as he threw his gaze on her. He was fearing
her, with good reason, but with her recent development it still hurt more.
Tired of his gaze, she forced her enemy into a trapped position where her
teammates were waiting and slew their last target.
“Wow, you took out two targets,”
one of her teammates stated.
“That’s because of her
bloodline,” her leader states in a jealous voice.
Again this tone, Yuki didn’t
understand what she did wrong this time. It was suppose to be a teamwork
battle, and she did as she was told: to aid her teammates when necessary or
when possible. Little did she understand that her way of battle drew attention
towards her.
This pattern continued for the
next year, Yuki afraid of failure tried proving herself to ANBU always drawing
attention towards her in form of excelling beyond what her teammates were
capable of. After each mission her effort was returned with the same cold and
jealous feelings of her teammates. Only Godaime’s
words of “Good work” were of little comfort. For some unknown reason, it felt
cold and painful when it came down to being the best. That is what Yuki
concluded.
Captain Kawahana finally arrived
at her informant. He left her a message: two men in black cloaks with red
clouds were heading west. They only had a couple days head start from what her
informant told her. She quickly thanked him and went to find her teammates so
that they could get moving as quickly as possible.
