The Black Leaf (Part 1)

chapter 16: A Black Leaf

When we got to edge of the village we met with our contact. It was a young boy who was pretending to be a beggar in order to move in and listen to the conversations of the shinobi.

"They are planning an attack, something big," the boy exclaimed, "there are many shinobi, and a shipment of weapons just came in."

"So, it's happening," Kakashi was worried.

"Ahh, yeah... there was also word of a big meeting happening tonight in the main building. Orochimaru was said to be there, he is involved in this whole mess, and from what I been hearing he might be the master mind."

"Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin?" I asked.

"Yup, that one," the boy said, "well, I gave you the information, now can we go home?"

"Do you know what this meeting is about?" I asked the boy.

"I heard one of the Feudal Lords say that they were supposed to go over some details before the attack."

"So, we can't go yet," I looked at Kakashi, "we need to attend this meeting, maybe we can find out more about the details of their plan and when they are doing it."

Kakashi agreed with me, "take us to the place where they are all meeting and we'll go back home as soon as we gather the information we need."

We waited for night fall, then the boy guided us to the main building in the village. We looked around and found the room where meeting was going to take place. There were a lot of officials and Feudal Lords. Then he walked in, so that is Orochimaru, I thought.

"Lord Orochimaru," all the men bowed.

"Don't waste my time, is everything ready," Orochimaru demanded to know.

"Yes, everything is ready to go, we are waiting on your order sir," one man said.

"Very well," Orochimaru handed the man a scroll," here are the details and map of the Leaf. I'll be looking forward its destruction."

Orochimaru left the meeting and all the man talked about strategizing, but none mention the day of the attack.

"This is bad, we need to retrieve that scroll," I told Kakashi and he nodded.

"Do you know who that man is?" Kakashi asked the boy.

"Yes, he is the captain in command but..." the boy looked at us, "he is never alone and he is very dangerous."

We followed the man to a bar. He went in there with ten more of his man. They all were drinking, and many were already drunk. A few hours later, I notice the man went outside and leaned on a tree. This is my chance, I thought.

"Stay here," I told Kakashi and boy, I took my armor off and my weapon bag, "I got this."

Kakashi grabbed my arm, "wait, what do you think you are doing?"

"He is alone and drunk," I told him as I pulled his hand from my arm. 

I jumped down from the tree we were on and walked towards the man with a smile on my face. He looked at me sort of confused, "are you a whore?" he asked.

"Is that what you want me to be?" I replied and traced his chest with my fingers. I could flirt my way out of difficult situations, but I also could flirt my way in. The man got closer, he reeked like sake, he was drunk alright. The man gripped my hair with his hand and kissed me in a violent way, trying to force his tongue in my mouth. I kept my mouth close and he open his eyes,  pulling away annoyed, "well are you a whore or not?" he snarled. This is my chance, he was staring right in my eyes, I activated my Sharingan and put him to sleep under a genjutsu. I called Kakashi to help me get him away from there. 

Kakashi looked at me and I could sense his uneasiness, "are you okay?" he asked me.

"It was just a kiss Kakashi," I told him wiping the excess of saliva from my lips. 

"Yeah a nasty kiss," he said picking up the man and throwing him over his shoulder.

"If only you knew the things I did when I was in the Reconnaissance team," I told him and he looked at me slightly disturbed.

"You were in the Recon team?" the boy asked in excitement.

"Yeah I started when I was seven years old," I told him and Kakashi just shook his head.  

Kakashi carried the man outside the village where we tied him down. We searched the man for the scroll and found it.

"There, let's go," the boy said.

"Not so fast, we have to learn everything he knows," I told them.

I released his genjutsu and he woke up, "you bitch what the hell was that?".

"Get behind me and watch my back," I told them. I activated my Sharingan again and put the man in a different type of genjutsu. I touch his head and access part of his memories. "The leaf festival... they will use the vendors..." I released the genjutsu but kept the man sleeping.

"Okay we got the information, we can go now," Kakashi said handing me back my armor. I put it on and pulled my swords. I crossed them around the man's neck, but before I could strike, I felt different chakras around us.

"We are surrounded," I whispered.

"How many?" Kakashi asked getting ready to attack.

"Eleven, of them," I was interrupted by flying kunai coming my way. "Shit" I whispered, with one sword I deflected them and with the other I cut the man's neck.

"Time to go," Kakashi said and we all took off.

The men follow us nonstop, five of them manage to come ahead of us and the fight broke. I used both of my swords to attack and defend. Kakashi used his lighting blade to mainly attack. The boy just stood in the middle of both of us holding a kunai. The other five caught up to us and send arrows flying in our direction. I deflected some with my swords and Kakashi made a mud wall. But then we heard a groan, the boy was hit by two arrows, they went right in his chest. Kakashi ran to him and took him to safety up on a tree.

"Take him to the village, I'll hold them on for you," I said taking the bandages of my arms.

"no, you-"

"Kakashi, I'll catch up to you, I promise," I assure him.

"We'll wait for you by the waterfall," I nodded, then they disappeared. I took a deep breath and jumped to face my enemy.

Five men came out to face me, "I could finish this quick or make it last," I told them as one man came running and tried to stab me with his kunai. I slashed his chest and stomach with both of my swords. This was going to be easier than I thought, they were all drunk. I focused the chakra on my whole body and did Shisui's body flickery technique, I added three clones and we all took on one man. I put my swords back in their holder and was ready to run behind Kakashi when I felt someone coming at me. I turned and a man slightly slashed my back with his sword. I moved as fast as I could out the way but his blade went straight on my right arm. I held the sword with my free hand pressing with so much chakra that it broke. I used the broken piece to slashed the man's throat. Then, I started heading back to the waterfall.
