Political Alliance
Chapter 25: Ghosts of the Past
Temari couldn’t believe it was the same person in front of her, it had been over a year ago since she had last seen the older girl. Before her stood a young woman of seventeen, her long brown hair was tied off into a single long ponytail that fell behind the pulled down hood of the cloak. The large battle fan was closed but Temari knew that the pattern of a certain dessert flower would have been shown.
“Long time so see Temari,” she said in a neutral tone. “I heard you got married, well congratulations I supposed even if it’s only a political marriage. I hope that wasn’t him I just killed.”
Temari looked to where Naruto had gone and saw all the trees covering the area. It looked bad but she knew that something like that wouldn’t kill Naruto. At least that was her hope, she also wanted to make sure that they didn’t check to make sure Naruto was dead. So she glared back at the other woman.
“What are you doing here, Kimi-sempai? They told me that you had been killed on a mission,” Temari demanded to know.
The woman only known as Kimi laughed, “So that’s what they told you? Well I suppose you could have said that, to the village I am dead, or maybe I should say that the village of Suna is dead to me after what they did.”
Temari could see the hatred in the woman’s face and eyes, what could have happened to cause this in her. She still remembered the day she had met the older girl, back when she had just been starting out.
-Suna, 4 years ago-
Temari was nearly done her training to be made an official genin of Suna. She was proud of herself, she pushed herself to be the very best in her age range, even to those of a few older children as well. But it wasn’t enough for her, she was a Kage’s daughter so the demand on her was very high. But she didn’t break under the pressure, in fact it was one of the few things she had in life. Her family was broken beyond repair, even at this young age she knew that much.
Her mother was long since dead, her father was a cold and distant man. Her brothers, well Kankuro wasn’t too bad, but Gaara scared her. Hell, he scared everyone really but that was her lot in life and she would proudly bear with the weight of it all. At the moment they were looking at a large selection of weapons, they were told to pick something that they would be trained in. Temari however didn’t have the slightest idea of what to pick.
By this point she had learned that she had wind nature affinity, so she was thinking of a weapon that would be for that. But what was best for that? Technically anything could be used to mould chakra, especially if a weapon was designed to admit the flow of chakra into them. But still, it was difficult for her as she knew next to nothing about weapons. Oh sure they were taught the basics but that didn’t mean you knew how to handle them, how they felt in your hands in battle, and how comfortable you were with the weapons.
“Got a problem there Shorty?” said a female voice.
Temari got annoyed at being called that, she turned to see who would dare call her something like that. She saw a taller and older girl, by the headband on her forehead the girl was most likely a genin. There was something large on her back and she had a short ponytail for a hair style. She was also smiling at Temari like a Cheshire cat.
“What did you call me?” Temari asked in a serious tone, at least as serious as a young girl like her could.
“Oh did I make you a little mad, sorry,” The girl said as she ruffled Temari’s hair which only annoyed the younger girl more. “So then what’s the issue, usually everyone knows what type of weapon they want to use.”
“I’m trying to find something for wind chakra,” Temari told the older girl annoyed.
“Oh?” She smiled as a look got into her eye. “I got the perfect weapon for that.”
“What that big stick?” Temari said deadpanned.
Now the older girl looked irritated and that made Temari smirk. The older girl reached behind her and pulled the ‘stick’ out and unfolded it. It was a large fan with three flower pictures on it. “Let me show you how wrong you are little girl.” With that she turned and waved the fan. A huge rush of air came out of the fan as a long cut was created into the ground. It was nearly twenty feet long and several of the people in charge were already yelling at her for doing something reckless like that.
“Kimi, what the hell were you thinking?” Another genin yelled out.
Kimi scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, “Oops sorry about that, just showing a kid how to use it.”
Temari, although she wasn’t sure she liked the older girl, had to admit that it had been very impressive. She had no idea that a fan could be used like that and it sparked her imagination. A fan like that in the right hands would be a very powerful weapon. She had wind nature chakra and a weapon like that might be perfect for her.
“How come I don’t see that here?” Temari pointed to the vast supply of weapons shown on the long tables.
Kimi just smiled as he put away her fan, “Because not everyone can handle the weapon. It’s a lot harder to use than most people think, in fact there’s only a few battle fan users every generation in this village. But it’s a proud lineage to belong to.”
Temari could see that the older girl believed that from the sudden serious look on her face and especially in the eyes. Temari felt herself drawn for some reason, almost like destiny was calling out to her at this very moment. She looked back at the clean cut line in the ground, it really was a formidable weapon.
“I want to learn that then, will you teach me?” Temari said.
“Hell no,” Kimi said.
Temari nearly face faulted at that, “Why the hell not?” she yelled at the older girl.
“I don’t feel like wasting my time,” Kimi said as she looked bored. “Most people wash out and honestly I got better things to do with my time. Although I doubt the few others would take you up on it.”
“Do you know who I am?” Temari thought trying to play the Kage’s daughter card. Although she really hated to use that, she wanted to prove herself but how could she when the girl wasn’t going to give her a chance.
“Yep, still don’t care,” Kimi said with a shrug.
Temari wasn’t sure if she was impressed that the older girl was going to go against her like this or pissed because it hadn’t worked. Kimi looked down at the annoyed look on the younger girl’s face and smirked. She did know who the girl was the daughter of but she believed in getting what you wanted from your own hard work. Although she was a bit worried on what might happen, but she had a feeling this girl wasn’t as bad as the stories she had heard about Gaara. At least that was what she hoped.
Temari wanted to train in the fan not only because she was interested but if only to get this girl to do it. Temari hated to lose to anything and she wouldn’t lose this.
“I want to learn and if you’re too lazy to do it then I’ll find someone else. Maybe someone even better,” Temari said and grinned when she saw the other girl finally get angry.
“Hey I’m the best one there is and for your information I don’t want to train someone that will most likely quit in the first week.”
“I’ll make it more than just a week,” Temari said back glaring at her.
“Oh yeah? Well fine, let’s just see how long you last.” Kimi didn’t realize she had fallen for that trick until later but when she did, Kimi swore that she would make the little brat pay. Temari had no idea just the kind of training that went with a battle fan but she would soon learn.
-3 months later-
“Hurry up Temari,” Kimi called as she ran through one of the large mountain passes that was build into the natural barrier of their village. Temari was behind her panting heavily with a lot of sweat dripping down her face. The two of them always ran up these trails because it gave a good exercise. Kimi was doing a lot better but that was because she trained more. Temari who was now carrying her own iron fan wasn’t used to the weight yet. Kimi told Temari, that in order to use such a large weapon you needed to get used to it. You had to take that weapon with you on any mission, into any battle and over long distances.
If you couldn’t carry it then you would slow down your group and if you couldn’t lift it after a hard run, well what use were you?
Temari however never said a word of complaint, she pushed on and on willing her body to move sometimes. Kimi had gotten to know the younger girl a bit better over the past few months. The young girl really was a truth kunoichi. She pushed herself harder than most boys, and it wasn’t just because of her father it was because the girl actually wanted to be this good. That impressed Kimi a lot, although she never once said so. The girl didn’t need an ego plus this way she got to play the ‘bad guy’ and force all kinds of horrible training methods that she herself had been forced to do.
Kimi now understood why she had been pushed like she had been, the battle fan was a rare art in their village but a proud one that the women who used it took seriously. Only women chose to use the fan for battle, most likely because most men thought it was too silly. Well those men usually were the ones that ended up on the other side of their fans. But still, to wield the fan wasn’t easy. It took diligence, heart and iron will. But thankfully in Temari she saw all these things.
As they came to a shadowed area she felt it was time to stop. “Temari, we’re going to take a break here.”
“I…can…still…go on,” Temari breathed out not wanting to look weak.
“Please you’re barely standing and I’m not going to drag your body and your fan back.” Kimi said as she sat down and took a sip of water. You didn’t drink it whole in the dessert you made it last as you never knew when your next drink would come from. “Sit and drink girl.”
Temari although she didn’t say it, was thankful for the rest. Her back ached carrying her fan, her legs and lungs were burning and she felt a little light headed. The cramping told her that she was starting to dehydrate as well. At any rate she sat in the shade and took small sips of water.
The two girls enjoyed the shade as they felt the cool rocks sooth their bodies lightly.
Kimi was about to take another small sip when she heard someone behind them. She spun around and looked up, then she blushed lightly.
“Oh good reflexes,” a boy her own age said as he was on a higher path only about six feet above them. He had a boyish smile and features, short dark hair that was cropped off in a wild haircut. He wore brown and dark clothing of light material as he jumped down to meet them.
“Kensei-kun!? What are you doing here?” Kimi said surprised.
“Just on a little sentry duty today,” he explained. “I was making a patrol and saw you two jogging, So this is the Temari girl I’ve been hearing about. The Kazekage’s daughter?”
Temari stood up as he looked over the older boy, she noticed how Kimi seemed to be acting a little different around him. In fact she noticed the slight blush forming on the older girl’s face as the boy was pretty close. Temari got a small smirk on her face seeing this.
“Yes I am, so are you Kimi-sempai’s boyfriend?”
Kimi looked both angry and embarrassed at that, giving Temari a glare and mentally cursing the girl. She was going to have gone easy but now she was going to tack on a few more miles to their run for this.
Kensei looked confused and then laughed as he placed his arm around Kimi whose face went totally red in that moment. “Well not yet, but I’m working on it.”
“K-Kensei-kun!” Kimi yelled at him.
Temari could see she was going to have a lot of fun with this from now on. And she could get in some revenge for all this crazy training that Kimi was putting her through.
-Nearly One Year Later-
Temari was coming back from a small mission, it was just a small sentry patrol of the village, something that everyone did once in awhile as the village was to be defended. Sentry duty although being boring, was very vital so no one complained. Plus since it was still in the village, even genins like her could do it. Well she wasn’t any normal genin, like the rest of her team. She was actually thankful for the break from her team mates. Kankuro was driving her nuts with his new project on some new doll of his that he claimed would be his greatest one yet. Plus there was also Gaara, she felt shivers running through her body, at first she had tried to be the sister to him.
But Gaara didn’t look at her as a sister, when he did look at her with those cold nearly dead eyes she kept on asking herself, was this the day he killed would kill her? That constant stress wasn’t good for her or Kankuro but they were the only ones that could work with Gaara. Or maybe she should say the only ones made to work with him. People had actually quit being a ninja rather than work with him and with good reason sadly.
She was thinking of going to see Kimi-sempai, the older girl was still reeling from the death of Kensei. Temari also felt heart ache for the death of that man. She didn’t know all the details only that a few days ago while on a mission to investigate a group getting too close to the village he had been killed. Apparently it had been a group from another village spying most likely. She her senesi and Gaara had been sent with the team to back them up. Apparently there had been heavy fighting and casualties on either side.
Kensei had been one of them, she had never seen Kimi cry until that day, the next day Temari had been ordered on sentry duty.
She wanted to be there for Kimi though, in the time she had known her the two had become very close. But duty always came first for a ninja, so Temari would make for Kimi’s place as soon as she could.
But while coming into the more populated areas of the village she noticed that a lot of people were rushing about. Something was going on that much she was sure of. She could feel how stressed the people were, so she ran towards the central building that was used as both office of the Kazekage and all related ninja matters. If anyone knew what was going on, then someone there would. She also kept an eye out for anyone she knew.
She had just nearly made it to the front door when she spotted her sensei walking out. She called out to him as he waited for her to get closer. “Baki-sensei, what’s wrong?”
“There was an assassination attempt on Gaara,” Baki told her, he didn’t need to add ‘another assassination’ attempt as people have tired to kill Gaara as far back as a young child. Although it had been a long time since that last happened, mainly due to the fact that all the others had failed and then been killed.
Temari was surprised that anyone would even bother to try anymore, but she steeled herself to this long ago. Everyone knew that the assassins for the most part had once been ordered by her own father. She had once overheard him late at night once, angry at a failed attempt. That was when she first started to see her father for what he was and what he would do. But since Gaara had made genin they had stopped, mainly due that he was a weapon for their village now. The mission he was sent on were usually suicidal for a genin to be assigned but he always came back.
“I thought this had ended,” Temari commented more to herself then to her sensei.
“This was an unofficial mission,” Baki told her and Temari looked up in shock. If this wasn’t an ‘official’ order that meant all involved if they even lived would face execution. “There is more, Temari how well did you know that girl Kimi?”
“Well enough,” Temari was confused as to why he asked but she suddenly got a sick feeling in her stomach. “Why do you ask sensei?”
“She was one of the members trying to kill Gaara when he was on the north wall, I’m sorry but it looks like she was killed.” Baki told her.
Temari didn’t hear anything other than that, the one person she had outside of her normal family and team was dead. The person she had looked up to, that had inspired her to be what she was, the one that was the closest thing to a sister she ever thought in her life was now dead. Killed by her very own little brother because she had tried to kill him.
In the month that followed she tried to make sense of it all, why did Kimi try to kill Gaara? Sure there were many that wanted to but she had no reason for it. For awhile she had entertained that maybe her father had told them to but would deny any official mission if they were caught. It wasn’t unheard of to be called up for missions like that. But still, it never made total sense. After that Temari closed herself off, she tried to become harder and steel her heart from the pain of that loss.
But still, she never forgot Kimi.
-Present-
“I was told that you were dead,” Temari looked up at her mentor, the woman that was the closest thing she could call a sister in this world.
“In a way I did die that day,” Kimi said with dead eyes as she thought back for a second on her past. But she came back into focus as she looked at Temari with naked hatred. “But when that stupid village took from me the best thing in my life and then wouldn’t see justice done…it betrayed me. So I turned my back on that village and never once looked back.”
“What are you talking about?” Temari was wondering what was going on. “Is this about Kensei?”
“Don’t you dare say his name!” Kimi shouted at her. “You don’t deserve to not given what your family did to him.”
“My family?” Now Temari was even more confused but if she could get her talking it would also shed light on what had happened. It would also give her team time to get to this location.
“They didn’t tell you?” Kimi said almost sarcastically. “I wasn’t told at first either, but one of the survivors on the missions told me. Things were going fine, then you’re little demon of a brother showed up, he saw all the blood on the sand and he apparently lost it. He killed anyone that got in his way, even our own people…even…”
Now Temari’s eyes widened in horror as she knew what was coming. She had never known, sure she knew that Gaara had done some pretty horrible things in his time. Killed lots of people, even their own Suna ninja when they got in his way or when they tried to kill him. But she had never known about Kensei. She wanted to say something, but what could you say? It wasn’t like she could just say ‘sorry’ and that would make it better. The truth was, she couldn’t say anything at all.
Kimi looked at the blonde girl, “And now it looks like you’re a leaf ninja now.” She pointed at the new symbol Temari wore. “Hard to believe, but we’ll talk later when you wake up.”
Temari was about to ask what she meant but she saw the kick coming but she was too late to do anything. The kick was solid and connected to her head, there was a second of blinding pain and she thought she saw stars for a moment before the world spun and fell dark.
-Kakashi and Natsu-
The fight was going fairly roughly for Kakashi for the moment, he was a little out of practice with it came to swordplay. Sure he kept up the skills but it was different when you haven’t used them in battle for awhile. Plus the person he was fighting was no amateur, normally in a fight like this if you couldn’t take out the opponent you would gain some ground and use something like ninjutsu. This person however wasn’t letting him, so this person was obviously smart.
Thankfully Kakashi was keeping pace but the other guy was dragging things out, letting the others on his team to have the time to get to this area. With his eye he could see where the man would strike and Kakashi was able to keep his kunai blocking or parrying it. But the other man was very quick and with the short swords his opponent had, the man kept them in short range combat and never gave Kakashi the chance to move far enough away to use ninjutsu skills. It was smart for someone that seemed to favour close combat skills. But the only problem was that the guy was very fast, so fast that Kakashi felt the blades managed to cut into his vest a couple of times.
He felt a light cut on one of his arms by this point, he wasn’t sure when that happened but the stinging sensation was finally showing up. But it was mainly superficial, and the cuts on his vest weren’t deep enough to get past it. The vest was created to protect you after all, the heavy material and the light armour plating in the front and back helped to stop things like blades. It wasn’t perfect, the arm pits were exposed which was lethal to get stabbed in. The front of the neck was also exposed, the sides had weaker padding and the armour was mainly a plate on the back and something over the upper chest and it was very thin. The vest also limited your top speed, but veterans like Kakashi had trained to increase their speed to compensate.
But there was one other thing that Kakashi could do to keep up with the man, and that was the other skill of his present from Obito.
“You’re copying my moves,” Natsu said while grinning as he realized what Kakashi was doing. “So the rumors of the power of that eye were true. To tell the truth I’m actually glad, as a swordsman, this makes even better. There is nothing like fighting an opponent that only gets stronger as you fight.”
“So I suppose you know how my eye can copy movement?” Kakashi asked.
“And also predict movement, which explains how well you’ve managed to keep ahead of me the entire time. Tell me, is it true those eyes can make you read minds or is that just a rumour from how the Uchiha could predict movement?”
Kakashi knew that there were many things said about the sharingan, many were from stories by enemies that had survived battles against the Uchiha, and some were most likely put out there by the Uchiha clan themselves. Disinformation was a very powerful weapon in the world after all. So Kakashi had a feeling this guy didn’t know all about what the sharingan could fully do. Well he was running out of ideas at this point given the time he was wasting.
They locked blades as he managed to get eye contact with the other ninja.
“One thing you didn’t know I bet,” Kakashi told him.
“And what’s that?” Natsu asked grinning. He never got an answer as something weird was going on with the sharingan eye. The small black totems were starting to spin, it was odd and he started to feel a sense of falling. He quickly knew that a genjutsu was being placed on him he broke eye contact and stabbed forward thinking he hit his target. However the image of Kakashi wavered and slowly disappeared.
“What the hell-AH!” He felt a sharp pain in the back of his skull before the world went dark.
Kakashi stood behind him breathing hard it was a simple genjutsu he had used. Mainly it only created an after image in the other person’s eyes. It wouldn’t really have worked against someone with more genjustu skill, but Kakashi had bet that the man had focused more of his time in sword fighting. Specializing like that always cost you in other skills, and he was glad that the other man had ended up not training in genjustu.
Kakashi didn’t know many skills in that, his eye usually helped him to see through illusions not create them, but he had picked up a few tricks here and there. He pulled the kunai out of the man’s skull letting him fall to the grass. He said nothing, as nothing needed to be said, as a ninja this was the fate of this life. They met, they fought, and only one would walk away. Kakashi had been through this countless times and he knew this wouldn’t the last. He moved off from the battle, he had a mission to continue and a team to find.
-Sasuke and Sakura-
The two other members of Team 7 had it slightly easier then the others. That is if you call trying to rush through an area filled with lethal traps while trying not to get killed or mauled by them, easy. All too often they would have to chance course to avoid a trap or had been slowed down when one was set off. It had seemed their trap expert liked to experiment with various types of traps, even laying down fake ones that would take your eye off the real danger.
Sasuke was getting very annoyed at the whole thing, sure he was doing well but he felt that Sakura was slowing him down. Although his teammate had improved since Temari had joined the girl was still the dead last of their group. It was odd how Naruto used to be the king of that title, but even Sasuke had to admit that Naruto had grown in power since then. What he couldn’t get was why Naruto had gotten so strong and why it had been so fast. The guy was an orphan, had no clan, no real talent and yet he had improved in leaps and bounds since becoming a genin. For someone like Sasuke that hurt his pride and for an Uchiha, pride was something that they held close to them.
By the time they did manage to reach the area where Temari and Naruto had last been seen, the place looked like a storm had hit it. There were blown over trees, the ground was torn up and two large piles of trees were there.
“What happened?” Sakura asked looking at the area. She had never seen Temari go all out like this before but she had an idea that this was Temari’s handiwork. It was just a lot more powerful than what she had seen while training with the ex-Suna nin.
“Where are Naruto and Temari?” Sakura asked Sasuke as she started to look around for clues.
“I don’t see them anywhere,” Sasuke remarked as he scanned the area. He didn’t see any obvious signs like blood from nasty wounds, or pieces of clothing. It was hard to tell what tracks were from what as the whole area was littered with damage making it hard to track. Plus neither of them were tracking experts, simple things they were taught in the academy but for this kind of challenge you needed someone with a lot more experience.
“Naruto! Temari!” Sakura called out, it was a risk to call out like that with possible enemies around, but she had to at least try and see if they could respond. She tried a few more times before she thought she heard something, it was faint but she thought it came from one of the two large piles of wrecked tree piles. She gently moved to it and called out again now that she was closer she could definitely hear something.
In fact it sounded like...
“Naruto is that you?” Sakura called out.
She heard a groan as something moved under the large log that Sakura was leaning on trying to see into the mess. She thought she caught a glimpse or orange under it all, finally all that loud orange finally seemed to pay off.
“Naruto are you okay?”Sakura asked him.
“My arm hurts...can’t move it and I think I’m stuck,” Naruto said as he tried to move but grunted in pain as his shoulder and arm flared up in pain. He tried to remember what had happened, the last thing that happened was that he and Temari had finished off that one guy and then a large wind happened. Then he woke up like this. “How’s Temari-chan?”
“We’re looking for her but we’re not sure where she is,” Sakura told him.
“Then get me out of here! Ow! Damn it that hurt,” Naruto said as he tried to get out.
“Naruto don’t move, we’ll get you out of there,” Sakura told him hoping that he would calm down before he hurt himself more. She looked around the place trying to see how they could move the pieces of trees. They were very large and she couldn’t see where to even being. She looked to Sasuke hoping that he had an idea.
“Any ideas?” She asked him.
Sasuke looked at the pile and sighed, “Not sure this could take some time.”
Sakura sighed as she hoped that Naruto would keep calm, “Naruto, looks like this might take a bit but just keep calm and we’ll get you out okay?”
“Just hurry I think something is crawling up my shirt and I don’t like it,” Naruto told her. He tried not to worry about where Temari was and what could have happened to her. But as soon as he got out of this he was going to find her and get her back, and that was a promise.
