Sasuke's Sister (Editing)

Chapter 1: The Girl with Red Eyes

Chapter 1

The Girl with Red Eyes

She jumped from tree to tree, going as fast as she could. She had been travelling non-stop for the last 3 days. She had passed through the Land of Wind and was now in the Land of Fire, a few miles from the Hidden Leaf Village. She was travelling quite fast and would be there in another 30 minutes.

|Calm down|, spoke a voice inside her head. |Your using up too much of your chakra, rest a bit. We'll be there in 30 minutes.|

The girl ignored the voice, like usual. They had had this argument many times, and no matter what the voice said, the girl never stopped. She was running out of time, she had to stop him.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Neji stood on the huge wall, looking down at the forest with his Byakugan. He and a few other Hyuga were guarding the West side of the village wall; anyone who came in the village or went out had to confirm their reasons with the guards and if they were trying to attack the village they would be dealt with by them. Most of the Jounin had been sent out on missions, leaving the Chunnin to guard the village.

Danzo had been named Hokage as Lady Tsunade was still in a coma. Neji honestly couldn't believe it, of all the people, they had to choose that man. Neji had ever liked him; he always had this weird feeling whenever he was near him. Not that he had ever been that close to him, he just always found the old man odd, as though he was hiding something.

He searched his section of the forest again, and stopped. He felt a faint chakra approaching from the East, and then it disappeared. He looked at the others to see if they had felt it, but they didn't look like they had.

He looked around again, but didn't see or feel it. He knew he hadn't imagined it; Neji didn't slip up like that, so the person must have concealed their chakra.

"Lady Hinata," he called, his eyes still not leaving the forest below.

Hinata walked over, "Is something wrong, Neji-san?"

"There's someone down there," Neji said. "I'm pretty sure it's not a villager, as the amount chakra I felt was quite large and they are hiding."

Hinata thought for a minute, then spoke, "The Five Sage Summit is in a few days, so I doubt any of the other nations would attack. So maybe it's a rogue ninja?"

Neji nodded, "Possibly."

He saw something move in the shadows of the trees and looked up at the other Hyugas. "There is something down there. Hinata-sama and I will go investigate," he called. They nodded in response, watching the two cousins as they jumped of the wall, landing perfectly on the ground.

"Byakugan," Hinata called, veins appearing around her pearl eyes.
