Our Reflection in Each Other's Eyes.

Chapter 2: Missions

I hopped from tree to tree to reach the location Ochi-Sama has sent me to.

My long black hair is being restrained by the thick peach colored scarf I am using to cover my face, in case I am spotted. My attire consists of a mid sleeved olive green shirt with matching pants. My skin is completely covered, from the place my shirt stops, I have black gloves to make up for the missing cloth. Covering my legs I have black ninja sandals that reach below my knee.

Sensing no sign of anyone, I continue hopping until I find them. From the description Ochi-Sama gave, the Uchiha would be the boy in blue having difficulty climbing the tree before him. He is determined I'll give him that. He's foolish though, distracted by his current task he doesn't sense me, then again neither does his Sensei.

I wonder what got his Sensei on crutches. They're on a mission therefore it has to do with the enemy, but as far as Ochi-Sama had told me, Genin fresh from the academy don't participate in missions higher than a D-Rank.

Could this mission have become a B-Rank along the way? Surely it's something along those lines because for a Jonin to be injured it'd have to have been a strong opponent. This, without proof won't be of any use to Ochi-Sama, I'd have to stick around until one of them leaks something.

The sun has already gone down and not a single clue has been uttered.

"Kakashi-Sensei how much time do we have before Zabuza attacks again?"

There's my evidence, time to go. With a swift turn I flew with the wind back to our hideout.

Zabuza Momochi is behind this? Hopefully Ochi-Sama's Uchiha knows how to stand his ground.

"Ochi-Sama, it seems the Uchiha is on a mission guarding a bridge builder, though to my observation I concluded the mission became a B-Ranked one along the way. His Sensei 'Kakashi of the Sharingan' was on crutches and a teammate of the Uchiha asked when Zabuza would attack again." I reported.

"Thanks darling, you are free to do as you please now."

I excused myself and headed toward the training area. There I began to train my swordsmanship. Dancing with the air in front of me, I engaged into an intense battle.

My blade clashed against the imaginary one before me, as I practiced dodges and perfected my reflexes.

I was drenched in sweat and out of breath when Ochi-Sama entered.

"Kyoko, tomorrow you have an assassination mission. I suggest you rest now."

"Yes sir!" I saluted humorously.

He slightly smiled at the action before ushering me out of the training room.

I quickly showered and headed off to sleep.

The following morning I awoke and dressed in my Olive green ninja attire. I gathered my weapons and ninja pouch, strapping it to my right leg, and headed to Ochi-Sama's office.

There he handed me a file with a photograph of the man I was to assassinate. He went into depth in his description and declared I collect his bounty once he's dead.

I reached the location he was to be found and successfully killed the two men accompanying him.

Dropping in front of him he didn't appear fazed. He pulled out a katana and ran in my direction. I used my sword to block his oncoming katana, but his strength pushed my sword down.

Having him centimeters in front of me I kicked his shin causing him to back up. This time I approached him with great speed, sword held up high and slashed in his direction.
