Feminine Wiles

Attack

A young brown haired woman with green eyes sighed in boredom as the carriage she was riding rattled down the road at a slow pace. She wished there was something to do besides watching her guards walk next to the carriage ...

She nearly fell out of her seat as the carriage jerked to a stop, "What's wrong? Why did we-"

"Eve-sama, please stay in the carriage-gah!" Eve paled as the guard was suddenly stabbed in the neck by a kunai ... her guards stood near the carriage waiting for an attack and sure enough several ninja came down from the trees and charged the carriage. Eve screamed as her guards were killed and hid in the carriage ...

*boom* A loud earth shattering noise ripped through the air making the frightened woman cry and scream as someone opened the carriage door and grab her ...

"It's ok, I'm here to help you. Calm down." The comforting voice made Eve feel safe enough to open her eyes. This person was a beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes and cute whisker marks on her cheeks. "Come on. We need to get you out of here. My name is Naruko. Let's go." She said as she grabbed a messenger bird's cage startling the bird inside.

Eve nodded and followed the woman ... once she left the carriage she was met with the sight of her slaughtered guards and several dead ninja, "I'm so sorry." She whimpered before taking off into the forest with the blonde.

The girls stopped at a stream and the blonde scribbled down a message, "This bird will fly to your father, right?" asked the blonde as she put the message in the tube strapped to the bird's leg.

"Y-yes." said Eve as she brushed away some tears. As they watched the bird fly away they heard cursing from the surviving ninja headed towards them ...

"Ok, I'm going to help you, but you have to do exactly what I say ok?" Eve nodded, but before the women could continue their conversation more ninja dropped down from the trees.

"Hello ladies, give up and we won't hurt you." snarled the big bulky ninja as he stepped forward. he terrified women backed away ...

OXOXOXOXO

A chunin turned around at the sound fluttering feathers and saw a messenger bird perched on the sill of the tower and it was not an ordinary bird ... it was the Daimyo's fastest bird!

He pulled out the message and unraveled it ...

OXOXOXOXO

The hokage, Tsunade Senju, sighed as she continued her paperwork. A part of her wanted to light it all on fire, but before she could a ninja ran into her office in a panic.

"Hokage-sama! Someone attacked the escort detail protecting the Daimyo's daughter! She's missing!"

"Bring me everyone now!" demanded the hokage. With in seconds the entire room was filled with ninja. "The Daimyo's daughter is missing. We need a team of the best trackers to go to the last known place where her caravan was seen and locate her. Everyone else will remain on standby in case backup is needed. Rin, Obito, Izuna, Sakumo, Kakashi and Minato you will be the team that hunts down the Daimyo's daughter. Minato, you're in charge. Bring her back."

"Yes, hokage-sama."

OXOXOXOXO

"This mission would be better off in my hands. Just give it to me, sensei!" said the Uchiha with a smug smirk as they raced through the trees.

Minato sighed, "This isn't a game, Izuna. I'm in charge so deal with it ... we're getting close." He ignored the scowl on Izuna's face and focused on the mission at hand.

The team entered a clearing ... it was horrific ... bodies were everywhere and the wagon that once held the Daimyo's daughter, Eve, was in shambles. "Everyone, spread out!" ordered the blonde

They all did as ordered ...

Izuna and Obito looked through their Sharingan ...

Kakashi, Sakumo and Minato inspected the ground ...

Sakumo touched the deep scar in the earth, "Something wrong, Sakumo?" asked Minato.

"Do you remember that mission I took a year ago? The one to Sand that nearly failed ... there were scars like this in the sand."

There was a large gash in the ground where two bodies were implying that someone with a huge amount of strength used a heavy object to destroy most of the guards, but this person was protecting the carriage! The tracks for this person went into the forest ahead of Eve's ... there was a struggle and the tracks vanish leaving Eve alone ... was this person captured or killed? They couldn't use the tracks anymore because they disappeared into a stream ...

"I found some chakra that matches Eve's!" yelled Obito and they followed the trail ... they found Eve buried in rubble, but alive.

Rin smiled, "She's alright, but she should be taken to the hospital."

Obito picked up the girl and they headed back to Konoha.

XXXXXXXXXX

Green eyes opened, "Doctor, hokage-sama, Eve is awake!"

Tsunade and the team who rescued her entered the room, "I'm glad to see you're alright, we're going to contact your father, but could you tell us anything about what happened?"

Eve bit her lip as tears welled up in her eyes, "W-we were attacked by a group of ninja ... I-I don't know who they were! They came out of nowhere! A girl saved me, she said her name was Naruko, but w-we were separated. Please did you find her or anyone else alive?"

The hokage frowned and shook her head sadly, "No one else was found alive. I'm sorry, and we weren't able to find another girl ... we'll contact your father now. Take this time to rest before we personally take you home."

The traumatized brunette nodded and fell asleep as they left her alone.

"Go send a message to the Daimyo." ordered Tsunade

Izuna went outside the room and nodded, "Yes, hokage-sama." He said and left for the tower to write down a message, "Don't screw up this time." He grumbled.

The bird with the message left the tower ...

The bird reached the village limits ...

A black figure jumped up and snagged the bird ...

The figure took the message ...
