I sat at my desk pondering all the different papers that were stacked around me. Someone was knocking at my door and the cacophonous sound rang through my ears. I leaned back in my chair and crossed my legs.
"You may enter," I called to them.
The ANBU in front of me kneeled on one knee, bowing to me in respect.
"Speak," I said. "Make it quick I have a lot of work to do."
"Captain there's been a prison break in the left wing and Lord Hokage wants your permission to send forces to rally the prisoners back and fix the damages," The ANBU said.As I examined the markings on his mask, I noticed it was an underling who just started as a team member and a messenger.
"There's no question in whether or not there should be troops assessing the west wing, only send two teams," I ordered.
"Captain are you sure?! Shouldn't we send at least four teams?" The other ANBU questioned. His mask authenticating that he was a more elite ANBU, higher in the rankings probably the other ANBU's captain.
"We're ANBU aren't we? There's no need to send four teams, the excess ninja would get in the way of each other and more over why are you questioning my orders?" I spat
"Forgive us captain, we were just looking out for least amount of casualties and we believed that having more teams would diminish the numbers," The lower ranking ANBU said.
I sighed, "I understand your concern, Take team 9, 17, and your team. Captain be sure to capture every prisoner. Failure is not an option," I stated firmly.
"Yes Captain!" they said in unison and fled the room quickly to gather the teams.
I could hear them running through the corridors and they were talking about me...
"Mika-sama 's euphemism is really starting to get on my nerves. Who is she to talk so lowly to us like that," one of them said, probably the lower ranking ANBU.
"As an underling you should understand that Mika-sama makes the decisions she sees fit."
Called it.
"So far every order she's given has been the best for the Leaf Village, we shouldn't give her such a hard time," The captain said.
"Your blandishment makes me sick. You know how hard it is for me to take orders from a 16 year old brat? It's like taking orders from my niece and rue the day that ever happens," The underling said.
Their voices faded into the distance and I couldn't hear what they were saying anymore. I sulked in my chair and rubbed my forehead. A lot of the ANBU hate me because some of them have been here longer than I've been born. I was the leader of the ANBU black ops, yes the entire unit of ANBU. When things happen I'm second to know after the Hokage. I'm in the bingo book, but I've seen it and they only have me with my mask on. Few people actually know my identity, I have to keep it a secret otherwise my life could be in danger and so could the people I care about. I walked around in my mask whenever I was out of the house or on official business, but when I'm not in uniform my long blue hair reaches mid-back, it's usually in a high pony tail. I haven't gotten any taller than when I was a kid. I'm still only 5'2. I highly doubt I'm growing anymore. Lately my dreams have been trying to tell me something yet I can't figure it out. It keeps taking place in the forest that I fell asleep in after a day of training with Kakashi and Sasuke. There's all the flashes of black, red, and orange around me. They keep swirling wildly and I they're screaming the word pain. I don't understand what it's trying to tell me, and you'd think with my powers that I would be able to figure something like this out. With all my pondering and filling out paper work it was time to head home. I adjusted my masked to make sure my face is hidden. One thing that I liked about being ANBU leader was that I got to customize my mask. It was a panda face the eyes had big black circles around the slits where I see out of. The nose was medium length and the mouth curved up like an actual panda bear.
