The Protector

chapter 1

six months later...

screams could be heard ringing in the middle of the soundless night, a beautiful woman stood in the middle of a sea of dead bodies

her beautiful blue eyes dull and lifeless, her wolf mask painted with the deep scarlet red of blood.

"tch, and thought hey said there was only 5-8! Are they serious? There's more than 20 of them"

a rustle from the tree abit 7 meters away shook her out of her thoughts.

With one fluid movement the silver-haired ninja threw a kunai in that direction,

"Water style : water exploding lotus!"

Just as the attack was nearing her, the female disappeared, leaving the missing almost non standing alone

"w-what?"

a sound of a sword slicing through flesh sounded through the air, the missing nin clutches the spot where his heart was supposed to be.

"this heart is quite healthy, you've been eating pretty well eh? tastes like sake" the same deep voice that killed the group of missing nins stated taking a lick of the blood surrounding it

Her skin turned black and white outline of her bones could be seen, her mask now only covered her right eye which had turned a deep violet, her face also sported a maniacal grin

In a flash a circle of some sorts appeared bellow both her and the dying mans feet, completely paralysing him.

"don't die on me yet! We have much more fun things to do AHAHAHAHAH"

with the same maniacal look in her eyes, the woman took out a kunai and stabbed herself in the stomach, legs and arms.

She watched with pure joy ask the man twitched in pain before letting out an ear-piercing scream. Before going completely silent

A hand landed on her shoulders

"GOOD ONE KIKO! man he drank too much sake for his own good but good for me, it tasted like wine"

the girl,having gone back to normal and eyes losing that maniacal glint,shrugged his hand off her shoulder.

"what are you doing here?"

"so mean tsuki-chan!"

tsukiko sighed and walked off as she pulled back up her black mask and started sealing the dead bodies in a scroll.

"not bad, for a kid"

"Just leave already!"

"Still mad about last time? Well it was funny..."

"nothings funny about getting hidan to steal my underwear Jashin!"

He giggled in a creepy way before disappearing

Tsukiko's pov

I sighed, one of the many reasons i found myself second guessing the decision to become a jashinist

Pup forget about him and get back to the mist alright? You need to head to the hidden cloud tomorrow evening, you'll need energy for that

That's if the mizukage even lets me go in the first place

You enjoy her constant overprotective tendencies anyway

I won't argue to that

A hawk screeching broke me from my conversation with Takeshi and forced me to stop my tree hopping

It was carrying a scroll

I guess a little break wouldn't hurt

I activated my sharingan and scanned the area to see if there was any one around

Finding no one I sat down on a branch, layed some breadcrumbs and water for the hawk and looked at the scroll

It was a sealing scroll

I placed my hand on the dead in the middle of the scroll and focused my chakra on it

there was a poof before 4 envelopes appeared

I kept the scroll in my ninja pouch and began opening them

The first envelope was a letter from granfather

To my dearest grandchild,

I have received your previous letters regarding your progress and I must say I'm very intrigued and proud of you, however as your grandfather I must say I am certainly quite worried about the speed of your growth, certainly many will hear of your abilities and may come for you

Although this may be hard my I ask that you finish off your opponents and not let anyone that have seen your face go,

Be safe, Tsukiko, the village needs its princess
With the amount of training your doing, together with your ability to create strategic formations of battle, I'm sure if you set your mind to it you'll achieve it!

Lots of love,
Hiruzen Sarutobi

I smiled, grandpa was really sweet

I opened the second envelope was from dad

I was suspecting all these were letters to make me cry

You miss them

Of course I do

To my precious Daughter,

Hey, how have you been, I really miss you me sweet moon

I have a Mission in kiri tomorrow, and I was hoping to see you and catch up with some tea you know?

Anyhow I just wanted to say I'm so very proud of you for coming this far

Don't give up ok? I believe in you!

If there's anyone who's treating you badly, tell me and I'll make sure they end up with selbones in their eyes, your favourite type of torture right? Ankle told me

I've also found your mothers note book, she's filled up every corner with recipes of poison

I figured I'll give it to you tomorrow

Meet me at 12pm in Fumizako's eateries tomorrow? Well I'll be there with Asuma

I love you my little moon

Love,
Kakashi Hatake

man if I read all of this I'm really going to start crying
