Son of the Sannin(Back)

The Fall of Taki

Takigakure

"It's not fair!" Fu whined to no one in particular.

The green haired jinchuriki was lying on a large branch of the village's Great Tree, looking at the sky through the small gaps left between the tree's leaves. She let out a loud snort, as if that somehow would relieve if her boredom.

She went through all the troubles of taking an S-Rank mission so she could get a several days permit afterwards, that she was planning to use to travel to Konoha, and get to see her friends again, and most importantly, her boyfriend. It's been three months since the last time she saw him, and while she enjoyed reading his letters, it was just not the same.

But then Shibuki said: "No, it's too risky letting you leave the village alone. And I can't afford an escort right now."

"Why don't you make up a reason to justify me sending me there?" Fu had suggested.

But Shibuki denied her request, saying along the lines of "I'm not going to make that mistake again", and that, since no Taki Genin team made it to the finals, there was no reason for any Taki ninja to be in Konoha. Meaning goodbye seeing the Chunin Exams, goodbye laughing with her friends, and goodbye making out with Shino.

She thought that earning a promotion to Jonin would show Shibuki her strength and thus result in more freedom, but how wrong she was. Despite her rank, she was never allowed to leave the village alone, not even for missions, which she always had to do under the watch of her babysitters –or "escorts", as Shibuki called them– despite the fact that she had grown way more powerful than most of the ninjas the village leader assigned as her squadmates.

What was the point of being a Jonin then? Sure, the Jonin paycheck was sweet, and allowed her to buy anything she wanted, but that's about it. No matter what she did, it would never stop Shibuki from treating her as a delicate porcelain doll that has to be protected at all time.

"I might as well ask Shibuki for a mission," she concluded. "Free days are rather boring if you have no friends to spend with."

Yes, that should do. Prefirably, a mission that involved going to the Land of Fire. Maybe that way, she could take a small detour to Konoha, and pay a brief visit to her friends, and her boyfriend.

Little did she knew that her wishes were going to come true, and the price she had to pay for them.

Deciding to stop wasting more time, Fu jumped to her feet, spread her wings, and flew towards Shibuki's office. She didn't pay attention to the buildings and people below her – while watching the village from the sky was incredible the first few times, it ended up losing its awe. That's it, until several screams caught her attention.

"Huh?" she said, as she uncosnciously moved towards the source of the commotion. She narrowed eyes. "Is that...a fight?"

Flying closer, Fu realized that she was right. There were several ninja invaders attacking her comrades, while others escorted the civilians to a safer place. She was unable to see where the invaders came from, since she was too high in the air to properly see their forehead protectors. At least, of those who carried them.

"Where did those guys came from?" she asked.

She got her answer when she saw that the enemy ninjas were coming from the lake, where one of the entrances to the village was.

"But said entrances are top secret, and only Takigakure ninjas know about them..." Fu thought, as distress started to manifest within her. She forced herself to stop wondering about how such thing could happen. She could care about that later. Now she needed to put a stop to it. "I think I should help them...no, wait, I should tell Shibuki first! Then he can alert the village of the attack!"
