Another Side of The Story

Part 4 Accomplishments

     Kala and Sara had successfully completed their assigned missions over the last six months. At least Tobirama hadn't had any reason to complain. The clients were happy. Though Kala noticed that the Hokage and his brother were reluctant to assign them any missions outside the village. Part of her understood, and enjoyed it. She and Madara had been able to spend a lot of time together when he wasn't out on missions of his own. Their sexual encounters only became more and more intense. What made it hotter for for her was if Madara had been involved in a battle. No matter when he got back, she was his first stop. Madara had awakened her from a deep sleep as he fucked her mercilessly on a very regular basis. Kala would awaken the next morning covered in bruises from the encounter. Training with Sara was amazing. She was fast on her feet and stayed one step ahead of her teacher. Madara would come to the training ground on occasion and watch them train. On one such occasion, He showed up with no shirt on. Kala got distracted and Sara finally got a good hit in. Kala rubbed her sore jaw after sending Sara home for the day. "That was cheating." Kala almost whined. Madara tilted his head. "Distractions are normal on a mission." He states simply. Madara started to put his shirt back on when Kala stopped him. "Spar with me." Kala states. Madara shook his head. Kala put her hands on her hips. "Are you afraid of me?" That made Madara glare. Kala smirked and her eyes sparkled. "If you insist." He was gone, Kala waited, her hands at her sides. The next moment, Madara was is front of her striking her multiple times in succession. Kala blocked his attacks backing up. His strength was breathtaking. She could feel each strike connect vibrating her hands. Kala feigned a dodge to the side before jumping behind Madara, a kunai in hand. She threw it aiming true, but Madara deflected easily. Hashirama and Tobirama had been walking around the village visiting store keepers about apparent thefts that needed resolved. They heard the sound of a fight and were surprised to see Kala and Madara sparring. They appeared to be even, but that would change if Madara saw fit to activate his Sharingan and Kala knew it. That time came when Kala attempted a genjutsu on him. It was foolish and stupid. His sharigan activated and Kala found herself on her ass with a cut on her cheek for good measure. Madara simply crossed his arms. "Satisfied?" Kala saw the cut on the back of his hand. "Quite." She nodded looking at it.  Madara looked at his hand. He actually looked surprised. When did she? Kala smiled and tossed his shirt at him like a prize. She bowed suddenly when she saw the Hokage and Tobirama. "Well played, Kala." Hashirama beams. "Thank you, Lord Hokage." Tobirama nodded his approval. "Kala, we've arranged a meeting with Sara Uchiha's parents so that you can discuss her current status and abilities." "Yes, sir." Kala responded. "She's to be tested then?" Madara asked. "Yes, first thing in the morning. The meeting will take place that evening." Tobirama answered. "We'll leave the arrangement of the meeting to you as clan leader." Madara nodded. "Kala, you and Sara will meet us here at five am for the exam." Kala nodded again. "Til the morning, then." Hashirama says. Kala bowed again and watched as the brothers left. She beamed. "That's great. Sara will be excited." Madara grunted. Kala shook her head. "I'll need to go and inform the clan members, Sara's parents should be home in a few hours." He started to leave. "Kala?" He starts. "Yes," "This meeting will be informal dress wise, I will pick you up tomorrow evening. You can bring Kiko if you like." Kala smiled. "Thank you, Madara." "Also, even though its informal, you will not be allowed to speak unless you are asked a direct question." Kala nodded. "There are many in the clan that don't agree to outsiders being in the compound, even for something like this." "I understand." Madara walked her home before going on his own way. There were preparations to make. A guard stopped him. "Sir, the Hokage needs to speak with you." Madara nodded and headed to the Hokage's office. Hashirama was waiting for him. "Madara, I know you have work to do in regard to Sara, but a request came in for assistance." Madara crossed his arms and waited. "Apparently, Sara's parents never made it to the second rendevous. Madara stood up straighter. "We need you to take a team and verify their status." Tobirama stated simply. "If there is an issue resolve it how you see fit. We've heard rumblings of a gang of rogue ninja attacking caravans passing through a specific part of the forest." Hashirama nodded. "There had not been any casualties until a week ago, when bodies were found strung up in a grove of trees." He handed Madara a piece of paper. "They had this mark carved into their chests." Madara looked at it. It was a variation of an Uchiha crest. He'd seen this mark in some of the alleys in the compound. The clan elders had met and discussed the possibility of a rogue faction working in the shadows. But they had no idea of their intentions as yet. While he was the clan leader by right, there were those who felt he should be removed by any means necessary. They had infiltrated many parts of the infrastructure of the government. The leader was unknown. It was believed by some that he worked from outside the village. "I'll leave after the dinner tomorrow night." Hashirama nodded. "You should have someone keep an eye on Kala, while you're gone." Tobirama suggested. "If the faction is after you, Kala would be a prime target. You haven't exactly hid your involvement with her." Madara nodded. Tobirama was right. He had grown lax in keeping his relationship with Kala away from prying eyes. He had in fact gone to her home on multiple occasions. At any point someone could have seen him and reported back to a member of the faction. He felt like such a fool. It would have been better to make their relationship public and gain the support of the elders. She would have been protected due to the fear any of her would be attackers may have had should she be harmed. As well as the official support from the Uchiha police force. Many of the men and women on the force were from his own clan and would gladly protect her if he requested it. "I'll have Izuna take over that responsibility while im gone. I have preparations to make, if you'll excuse me." The Hokage nodded and Madara left. As he hurried home, he thought about whether to warn her. He thought better of it, the best he could do is deal with the threat directly by completing the mission and getting back as quickly as possible. He arrived home and explained the situation to Izuna. His brother took a deep breath. "This make things interesting." "Make sure Kala is not harmed, brother. I want her escorted home after the festivities, personally." Izuna nodded. "I'll do my best. This meeting regarding Sara is supposed to be a happy occasion to celebrate her growth. If you get word that her parents have been harmed, that will change for her. And the possibility of her Sharigan activating is high as well. This ups the stakes for Kala as her teacher. The clan may feel she's not up to the task of training an Uchiha in that case. "She's capable enough." Madara stated, showing Izuna his wound from their match earlier. Izuna chuckled. "Are you losing your edge brother?" "Hardly." He responded. "I'll contact the elders and set everything up for the meeting. Brother, I hope for Sara's sake and Kala's that you find her parents alive." Madara nodded. Though he sensed that wouldn't be the case. The Uchiha were known to be brutal. But this new threat took it to a whole new level not seen since before the establishment of the village. That led him to believe that whoever the leader was, he was a veteran like himself. And for him the war had not ended. That was dangerous for all concerned.  Madara prepared for his mission before retiring for the night. As he lay in bed, he thought of Kala. Of course his body responded accordingly. He groaned and rolled over forcing himself to rest. He would have to make a decisive move regarding Kala where their relationship was concerned. They had been seeing each other for six months. They were certainly dating. It was too soon to go any further, as much as he wanted to. If he had it his way, he would marry the woman and move her into the compound with him. At least then he knew he could keep her safe. And the benefits of her being under the same roof and in his bed was obvious and surprisingly welcome.
