The Girl With The Scars Book 2 {A Naruto FanFiction}

Bells

I remember when I wake up that I have plans to meet my team for lunch. I run down the stairs from my apartment. I notice that they put up Tsunade's face on the mountain. About time there is a female hokage. I'm not sure if I want to tell them about being captured by Orochimaru. But I do need to give Tsunade the data I collected on the Akatsuki. So I decide to stop by her office after I get the files.

   After knocking on the office door, I slowly push it open and see her talking Jonin senseis. "I am interrupting something?" I ask quietly. "No, it's okay Hono, plus I don't think you have greeted the other jonin since you came back from your training," she tells me. I look at the senseis around me. "I'm back?" I say not sure how to greet them. "Holy shit you have a new leg. Last time, you were wheelchair bound," Asuma gasps. "Yeah, I got it in the Mist," I put my hand behind my head. I turn back to Tsunade. "I wanted to give you the data I collected on the Akatsuki I gathered in the last year of I was gone," I place the file on her desk. "YoU WHAT!?" she busts a fuse. I hold my hands up. "I thought it would be useful to you guys since we have a Jinchuriki in the village,"

"And probably be looking for me," I say the last phrase under my breath. "You could have been killed! The Akatsuki is an organization of criminals, Hono. You can't just walk into their hideout," she sighs. "And did you say they are probably looking for you too?"

"Yes," I murmur. "What did you do?" I twiddle my thumbs. I pull out an updated bingo book and hand it to her. "What are all these red xs for?"

"Those are the criminals I killed and handed over to their former village. At least I wasn't doing anything illegal. And you might want to look in the B's for Blaze," She thumbs through. "It says the nin has no village headband presumed to be a nomad ninja and wanted with a heavy bounty by criminal instead of any villages. What does that have anything to do with this subject," she looks up at me.

"Well Blaze is me. I never wore my headband on bounties so I wouldn't attract criminals to the village," I look down at the floor. I hear her laugh. "Its so funny how you left without us telling you that you were selected to be a Chunin. So you were assassinating S-rank criminal when you where a genin," she snickers more. "By the way I decided to promote you to jonin awhile ago. Here is the flak vest," she hands the vest to me and I slide it on over my black high collared tank. I leave the vest unzipped. "And would you like to be an Anbu member? You won't be a full time member. You will be sent on missions that are extremely difficult. You are considered Special Ops. A class of your own. Up for it?" she asks. "Definitely," I grin. She hands me a plain white mask and anbu vest. "Member make their own mask so all of them are different," She smiles at me.

I run back to my apartment and grab some red paint. She gave me the mask form of a bird. I put lines fanning out on the right temple and left side of the chin. I trace the outermost point of the "beak" with black. The beak slowly protruded from the face at an acute angle. The tip is slightly rounded. The eye slits resemble a bird's as well- a sharp almond shape. I trace the rims in black too. I paint the anbu symbol in and ombre of red to black going down. All done. It takes me about an hour to finish the mask. It is about 11 o clock now. I decide to stop by Naruto's apartment which is right by mine.

I knock on his door. He opens it. "Wanna hang until lunch? We can go around the village," I ask him. "Yeah!" he closes the door behind him. I trot down the black metal stairs of the apartment complex. We begin to walk to the training grounds absently. When we get there, Kakashi and Sakura were there. "Hey, I guess you had the same idea," Naruto says. "We forgot to tell you guys, We are doing the bell test again to see how far you two came," Kakashi tell us. "Just like old times," Sakura says. "Except you know, we're missing a person," I mumble. "You guys have until noon to get the bells," he instructs us. "Ready, GO!" he shouts as Naruto starts making many shadow clones. I back up and start coming up with a strategy. Just like before, the goal is teamwork. What is one of Kakashi's weaknesses? I notice Sakura throwing straight punches at him. I move forward to make it seem like I wasn't forming a strategy. I see Naruto form a resengan and run at Kakashi but he flips to the side unfazed. I join in with them. I form the fire ball jutsu. I send several of them at him coming from different directions. I use this chance to tell Naruto of the plan. "We need a weakness of Kakashi," I tell him. "I think we both no one," We whisper to each other. "Okay go Sakura," I tell him. He brings over Sakura and tell her the plan. "Alright, let's go!" I whisper shout. Sakura stands directly in front of him and punches the ground causing rubble to fly all over. While he is looking at her, I swipe Icha Icha Paradise from him. "Oh Kakashi!" I call out in a sing song voice. "Naruto wants to tell you something," I signal him. "I have been with Jiriya for a while so I read Icha Icha Paradise. So I know the ending," he smirks. "The heroin end up-"

"NO NOT SPOILERS!" Kakashi covers his ears and cuts of Naruto. I take opprotunity and grab the bells from his belt. The piercing sound of the bell rings over him. He removes his hands from his ears. I walk in front holding the bells and the book. "Why did you take my book?" Kakashi asks confused. "Plan B was to throw it somewhere, but plan A worked," I hand him the book back. A smile forms underneath his mask. "You guys did amazing," he tells us. "Now let's go get lunch," we all grin.

We go to Ichiraku's ramen. "Two pork ramens , one veggie, and one chicken," Naruto orders for us. "So what did you do while you where away?" I ask Naruto. "Well I did a whole bunch of training with Jiriya. It was super tedious. I was so happy to be back," he slurps up his noodles. "What about you, who decided to tell no one about leaving," Kakashi points out. "Well I did a lot. "I got my leg amputated in the Stone village. My leg was unable to recover from the injury and there was no way to be a ninja in a wheelchair so they cut it off," I pick up another noodle. "I just realized you would have to wheel yourself all the way there," Sakura points out. "Yeah, I had to hobble all the way to the Mist village to get a prosthetic. I had to learn how to walk again. Then I went to the Cloud Village to train under a different sensei to gain back my strength and learn more jutsus for the rest of the year. Then I got to meet my clan and stay with them for 11 months," I try to drop the subject then. "What about the last year and a month?" Naruto asks. Fuck. They are my team. "I spent it as a bounty hunter and researching the Akatsuki," I sigh. "You do realize how dangerous that is. You were on your own at age 14 killing S-rank criminals," Kakashi gripes. "Yeah, I know," I look down at my bowl of noodles. "You're hiding something," Sakura says out of the blue. I look up and sigh. "Yeah, I am. I was hunting for 11 months not 12," I try to find something to look at besides them.

I was in a dark room chained to the wall. I feel a large knife carve my skin like a piece of meat. I didn't dare to speak or cry out because it would only get worse. "How is the princess like her new body art?" Kabuto taunts me. I didn't respond. I never did. I was stuck in this hell hole while they tried to get information out of me. I haven't eaten in days. My stomach concaved inward. Dried blood covered all of me.

I shake the memory out of my head. "What happened?" Kakashi asks concerned. "I had I run in with an old uh, friend," I whisper I clutching my arms. "Who?" Naruto asks. "Orochimaru," I say as I end the conversation.
