Kura stretched her body as she tried to stay awake, today was the mission. Her first official mission as a kunochi, she didn't know if she should be feeling excited or afraid. What if she's not good enough? Or what if she ruins the whole mission?
As Kura walked past the mirror hanging on the wall in the guest room she caught a glimpse of her reflection, she paused to take a good look at herself.
Her eyes had bags under them, the result of bad nights of sleep. Kura's eyes were as blue as usual, hair dark as the night stopping right at her waist. She parted her hair to the left and tucked the rest of the hair behind her ear as Kura tied the black forehead protector around her forehead. Kura stared at herself, still thinking that this was all a dream.
Kura twirled around as she looked at her new outfit the Haruno family handmade for her, it was a navy blue sleeveless qipao dress that reached her upper thighs with two slits along the sides with black outlines. Kura paired it with her black high waist shorts and tied a black obi around her waist that was also handmade by Sakura's mother Mebuki. Kura quickly fixes her black thigh-length stockings and slid on her black shinobi sandals before exiting the guest room.
Kura entered the living room area to see Sakura already ready to meet their new team, when her eyes glided up to to the blue eyed girl, They shined like emeralds.
"You look fantastic!" She exclaimed in excitement and told Kura to twirl around for her to see.
"It's a shame your parents went on a mission before I could properly thank them" Kura stopped twirling and looked at Sakura with a smile.
"There's one thing missing though, the clan symbol on your back" She mutter out, her eyes went wide and she immediately apologised.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't realise I actually thought out loud" she mumbled all flustered.
Kura slightly giggled then said, "No need to apologise, you're right though."
Sakura smiled warmly at the girl in front of her before linking her arms with Kura, she couldn't help but feel pity towards her new friend. Sakura herself could never imagine a life without her parents.
As Sakura and Kura strutted to the meeting place that Tsunade told them to meet at they met Naruto on their way, he waved enthusiastically and jogged up to them.
"You look good Kura" he complimented her as he checked her out form head to toe which resulted in Sakura somewhat glaring at him, Kura chuckled by Sakura's reaction to his comment and squeezed on her arm. Sakura's emerald green eyes darted back to Kura and they instantly changed from stern ones to soft.
They finally arrived at their planned meeting spot to see two silhouettes already standing there, as they approached them Naruto all of a sudden stopped in his tracks.
Kura and Sakura turn around in confusion to see him glare at the newest member of team seven, the rest of them stood around as they watched Naruto in suspense.
Kura's gaze slowly drifted to their newest member to see him smile, she tilted her head to the side. She knew his smile was fake, Kura have seen a lot of them in the past. However, something about his just did not feel correct.
"Naruto, do you know him?" Sakura asked in curiosity, Naruto took a step back as he glared at the new boy.
"Yeah" he snarled then pointed at the boy aggressively, "He's the boy that attacked me earlier when I was with Shikamaru and the others!" He exclaimed out in anger.
Naruto suddenly pulled out a kunai and the new boy followed by grabbing the handle on his tip-less tanto sword.
"Stop it, Naruto" the older man commanded, Naruto lowered his guard and gazed up at the unfamiliar man.
"Come to think of it, who are you mister?" Naruto asked
"I'm the replacement captain for this team while Kakashi is in the hospital, call me Yamato" He introduced himself.
Yamato stepped out from the shadows and cleared his throat before speaking, "You're comrades on the same team, so you guys need to get along."
Kura gaze back to the two ninjas beside her, they both looked stunned. She was very surprised to see that they didn't know, they wouldn't have just met here for fun.
She watched in silent as Naruto and Sakura snapped at their new comrade by something he said, as Yamato tried to hold Sakura back from punching the kid when his eyes glided to Kura.
He didn't say a word and neither did she, Kura knew that they both tried to figure out each other's strengths and weaknesses. Regardless of his bizarre smile and his unpleasant aura, he's still their comrade.
"At any rate, the four of us will be starting our mission now. And yet, what's up with this?" Yamato asked as he watched them place themselves a good amount of space away from their new comrade. "I don't have time to put you all in a cage to get used to each other. Come on, introduce yourselves" he continued.
"Naruto Uzumaki."
"I'm Sakura Haruno." Kura tried not to laugh as she listened to them introduce themselves in their most unenthusiastic choice of voice.
"I'm Kura"
"My name is Sai"
"Well, that's enough of getting acquainted for now. I will now explain our mission as Team Kakashi. The four of us will head for the Tenchi Bridge, capture the Akatsuki spy who has infiltrated Orochimaru's organization and bring him here. It's an opportunity for us to get information on Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha" as soon as his name was mention Naruto and Sakura immediately reacted.
"We will obtain a precious source of information with which we can draw up plans for both of the assassination of Orochimaru and the retrieval of Sasuke. Be sure to proceed with caution! We'll meet at the main gate in an hour, we'll leave once you equipped yourselves with your ninja tools" Yamato declared.
Kura's first mission ever, and it's already that intense.
