Danger in a Red Eye (Sasuke/ Itachi love triangle) Naruto fanfic

ANBU

Naruto had just set out on his mission with Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Neji. Mizu wanted to go but Tsunade said no because she still had nerve damage. Mizu stood at the front gates waiting for hours before she through down her crutches and ran slower than usual.

She ran for miles tracking them and finally she came to The Valley of the End. Just when she got there it was just in time for a large ball of energy to explode and send her back into a tree.

She stood up and went down the cliff in time to see Naruto unconscious on the ground and Sasuke stand up and walk away. "Sasuke, Orochimaru only wants you for your body." She called out, he stopped. "As long as I reach my goal I will give him my body." he didn't look at her. She laughed. "You won't even be able to kill Itachi because he won't give you enough time." he stiffened. "Nothing you can say will stop me. I never loved you and if you did love me you're a fool." She gulped and looked down. What she was about to do would last for a long time. She was shutting off her emotions. From there on she would be numb. She laughed again but it was a bone shuttering laugh that made Sasuke gulp. "I no longer hold any feeling to you, you foolish boy. I'm going for blood. Your blood so don't expect mercy." with that she was gone.

Medical teams had brought back the boys that went after Sasuke. Mizu had been staying away from everybody and taking missions from the Hokage. Tsunade talked with Mizu and gave her a Jonin vest. The Hokage said that her power was greater than a genin and stemmed higher than a Chunin. Mizu accepted the rank without word.

She walked through the village with her vest on instead of the usual sweater that she now carried in her hands. Her friends came up and congratulated her on the rank. She didn't show much emotion when thanking them. She ignored the sorrowful and pitying stares of her friends.

She no longer had emotions. That was not entirely true though. She had them still but the were locked and hidden away from her heart. They diminished to nearly nothing.

But they never left.

And she wished that they would leave and that way she would be numb and the pain left by Itachi and Sasuke would fade. That way her gorgeous eyes of blue and green would fade to a dark gray of lifelessness. She felt it slowly coming over her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Months passed in a blink of an eye and Mizu did nothing other than missions and when the Hokage thought she was overworked she would demand Mizu take breaks but she would train instead of relax. And her skills grew rapidly.

Mizu was called to the Hokage tower three days after Naruto's departure.

She knocked on the door and was called in. "Yes Lady Tsunade?" she said walking up to her desk.

"Ah yes Mizu. Well I wanted to talk to you about your current rank." Two ANBU entered the room and stood next to the Hokage. One with a eagle mask was on her right and the left stood a man with a dog mask. "You have excelled with your skills and you have reached farther than a jounin and it is time you take the ANBU exams." the Hokage said slightly saddened. "You being only fourteen will be one of the youngest to have ever passed."

Mizu nodded. "Yes my lady. I will gladly accept this offer."

The ANBU nodded and the three shunshined away and Mizu took her test.

The man with the dog mask stood with Mizu. "Congratulations you passed the exam. Welcome to the ANBU black ops." he took off his mask revealing black hair and blue eyes. He clipped the mask to his belt. "I'm Isamu. Come with me. We need to get your new uniform and mask. You get to choose the mask animal and paint it. The only thing left is you need a code name. ANBU are behind the scenes and our identities must not be known. Mine is Courage. The only reason I told you my real name is I'm captain of the unit you'll be in." He said while leading Mizu to a room that had four masks on the wall. One looked like a dog another like a bird the next a cat and one that looked like a rat. She looked at them all and picked one that resembled a cat. "You can paint the marking on it however you wish. Have you picked a name?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded.

"Hell Tiger."
