Hinata sensei

The start of the Chunin exams and Hinata's decision

Sai was being summoned; he wouldn't be summoned by Danzō without reason. He bowed respectfully to the man who had taken him in when he was a child, raised with the values of Root—an organization that does what is necessary to secure the safety of the village. There was a woman by his side who wore a mask. He recognized her only too well, but he dared not say any more words than necessary. He looked at his side. There were two others: one was a woman with long purple hair, and the other was a man about 17 or 18 years old, though it was hard to tell.

"Do you know why you've been summoned?" Danzo asked them.

"It has to do with the carrier of the Kyubi and the Uchiha. Do you want us to keep an eye on them?" The soft-spoken girl asked him.

"Yes, Hakobe," Tanuki said eagerly. Sai didn't lift his head; the pale skinned boy didn't dare make eye contact with Danzo due to his training.

"Your mission is to keep tabs on them do not do any engagement. Do not draw attention. Reconnaissance is the main priority. Do not engage unless it is absolutely necessary."

Sai didn't expect to be assigned to the Chunin exams. "Your will will be done."

The three youths left, Sai was intrigued by the exams he was interested in meeting this Naruto Uzumaki, just who he is; he exactly? Sasuke was another matter entirely. Sai was given specific orders to eliminate him should the opportunity and the need arise.

"Finally, all the pieces are coming together. We will finally get rid of that fool who currently runs our village." Tanuki said with contempt, despite emotions being discouraged, it was nearly impossible to get rid of them altogether. He looked at Tanuki's girlfriend, Hakobe. Despite relationships like theirs being discouraged, it didn't stop them. This contradiction perplexed him: why would Danzo allow such attachments?

It didn't interfere with their work, he supposed, but emotions is a concept that is foreign to Sai; he doesn't think much of it because he has a mission to do. The contradictions that he sees in front of him are irrelevant compared to the mission.

Danzo was pleased he would get his eyes in the Chunin exams. Everything was going according to plan. Now there was another matter he had to deal with entirely." Zero I have a mission for you of almost importance"the redhead woman looked at him with the fox mask he had trained her to be obedient he had done it well the years that he had worked the years that he had put her in suspended animation only when he acquired what he needed to control her it paid off she is a powerful weapon that is under his control.

"You are to keep an eye on Hinata Hyuga and eliminate her when given the first opportunity."

She bowed.

"It will be done."

She left him alone.

He looked at the table, all the pieces were in place.

He was very close; he could almost taste victory.

He had spent 40 years for this moment; patience is what will lead him to ultimate victory and he could toss the foolish will of Fire into the dustbin of history and bring Konoha to true prosperity.

Momo was at the gates of Konoha. She was given a task by Kanna to keep an eye on Sasuke. She had never been to Konoha in her life. She had been trained extensively by her mother's followers. Her long brown hair was down to her shoulders. What was expected of people in the order was to wear modest clothing, especially women. They believed women shouldn't show more skin than necessary. She didn't care about that sort of thing; she just didn't want the attention that men would give her because she looked older than she was. There was something about this village: the rot. She could feel it in the air. How can anyone stand it?
