Shadows of the Past (sequel to: I'm Kakashi's Daughter?!)

Remembrances, mission time! *FILLER*

Sorry for the filler.

By the way, this mission was during the original Naruto series, so before Ayame was captured and Sasuke leaving the village. All original plot! (With help from filler generator: http://www.narutoforums.com/showthread.php?t=102284)

------

"Ayame Hatake, as the only chunin, you'll be leading this mission." Tsunade told the group, which consisted of Ayame, Lee, Tenten and Kiba and Akamaru. They were sent on a mission to retrieve someone for a small village.

Ayame nodded. "Hai Hokage-sama." she replied calmly. "I'll make sure this mission will be a succes."

"I'll tell you the details." Tsunade said.

"You get ready already, we'll meet at thw gate in an hour." Ayame told everyone. Everyone besides her, Tsunade and Shizune left.

*Timeskip no jutsu*

The team headed towards the village, for whom they had to retrieve that guy from. They would get something to learn his scent there. "Let's just hope he doesn't smell like shit, he Akamaru?" Kiba joked.

"Do you think we'll run into enemies, Ayame?" Lee asked Ayame.

Ayame nodded. "From all the information I got, it's quite possible. But Lee, you're still recovering, so take it easy, will ya?"

"We'll defeat them easily!" Kiba said. "Right, Akamaru?"

Akamaru barked happily, like he was agreeing with Kiba.

* * * * *

Arriving at the village, the leaders gave them something that belonged to the man who went missing. "Let's go!" Lee exclaimed before running off.

"Lee..." Tenten muttered. "You don't even know which way you have to go..."

Ayame nodded. "Kiba, have you found his scent already?"

Kiba nodded. "It's faint, but it's that way." he pointed towards the east.

"Lee! It's this way!" Tenten told Lee. Lee returned and apologized for running off.

'Someone really needs to put a leash on you sonetimes...' Ayame thought. 'You shouldn't just run off...' Ayame shook her head. "Let's go." she said, heading east with the rest behind her.

* * * * *

"Is that her?" a man with scars all over his face asked a man with a lot of tattoos. "The girl Orochimaru-sama spoke about?"

The man with tattoos nodded. "That's her, Leader-sama." he said. "When will we attack? They're all just a bunch of children, we should be able to take them down easily."

"We'll tail them, just make sure they don't see you. They're looking for someone we're looking for too. If we could knock them all out and take her and that guy together at the same time, that'll be easier for us." the leader replied.

Five other ninja appeared behind them. They started tailing them and followed them all the time.

"Ayame." Kiba said. "We're being followed."

Ayame nodded. "I know. But I think it's best if we make them believe we haven't seen them yet."

*Timeskip no jutsu!*

When they've found the man we were supposed to find, they easily defeated the enemy. "They were too easy!" Kiba exclaimed.

Ayame sighed. "Let's go and bring this man back. The sooner we're back, the better it is."

"Surrender yourselves!" they heard a voice. "Hand over that man and the Hatake brat."

More men appeared. One of them was a genjutsu user with a weird, large haircut. "Seriously, you don't need genjutsu, your hair is distracting enough." Ayame said sarcastically.

"Don't you dare be sarcastic, brat!" he replied. "You're not in the position to do that!"

"I'm not? I thought it was the perfect moment for me to be sarcastic..." Ayame muttered with a lot of sarcasm, not caring about what the genjutsu user just said.

"Let's get them. Orochimaru-sama wants that girl as soon as possible." the biggest one said while activating his curse mark.

"Hai, Leader-sama." the rest of the group replied.

It took long, but after a lot of fighting, Ayame, Tenten, Lee and Kiba and Akamaru had won. "Man, you were easier than I had imagined..." Ayame muttered. "We know you were following us, so why were you?"

"You knew..." one of them muttered. It was the small one with the huge sword. The team was surprised he could carry and use it, keeping in mind he didn't have muscle at all. "We won't tell you anything!"

"Come on weakling, even girls have more muscle than you!" Kiba said. "Besides, we could take you easily!"

"Don't underestimate the power of hard work and youth!" Lee exclaimed.

"Don't underestimate us either." the leader of the big group said with a smirk. "We were just holding back, we wanted to see what--" He was kicked in his face by Ayame in the middle of his sentence. When Ayame removed her foot, the man had a blue spot on his cheek.

"Now tell us everything you know about Orochimaru." Ayame said with a closed eye smile. "Or else I'll torture you that badly that you'll be wishing you actually were dead."

One of the men screamed in fear, but was elbowed by the leader. "Now's not the time to be weak, weakling!"

"Says the one who was kicked in his face by a twelve year old." another one said sarcastically.

"Shut up, baka!" the leader said.

"He does have a point, ya know?" Tenten said.

The leader cursed under his breath. He insulted the four twelve year olds and the little dog, earning a punch from Kiba, Tenten and Lee. One of his men bursted out on laughter, but he stopped laughing after he received a death glare from the leader. However, he started laughing again when he saw all the bruices on his face, done to hin by four twelve year olds.

"I'm sorry, but when you have been beaten up like that, I'm afraid no one can take you seriously."

The team ended up getting no information about Orochimaru. All the information they got, was already known by Tsunade and Jiraya. The mission was a succes and they got a lot of thank yous from the villagers. The team left, saying it was their duty and that they didn't mind helping them out at all.

Back at Konoha, they reported the mission and all went home. At home, they rested. The mission that was supposed to be a C-rank had turned into a B-rank, because they had to fight Chunin from Oto.
