Naruto: The Amulet of Storms

Zelda Veteran · August 24, 2007, 11:55:46 PM

OOC: I'd like to begin by saying that this is going to be a fan fic written by both me and Pein no Akatsuki. We've got a plot, and we got some characters, so we'll now begin! We hope you enjoy ALSO, this takes place 15 years later. Naruto would be not 12, but 27. (just to give you an idea of what time period this is)
IC:

"... And so you see... If we harnessed that power, the Lightning country would be devastated. It would severely weaken them, and they would be vulnerable for an attack. We have the power gentlemen... We can do it ourselves, and finally begin our own country. This is what we've dreamed of for such a long time... the plan will be set into action soon. Just wait..." The darkened room fell silent. No light, but that provided by the torches provided visibility in the dank room. A man sat in a chair, most likely the leader of the operation. Three men hand bent their knee to the man, and their heads were low. "Do you all understand me?" They nodded, but it would be nearly impossible to see them in the murky darkness... "Good. Dismissed." The men disappeared into the darkness of the night just outside of the base...

---------------------------------

"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune scurried down the hall, frantically peeking into each room as she passed by. Tsunade had skipped out on her Hokage duties yet again. She seemed to be well hidden this time, and Shizune was growing worried. There was an A-Rank mission that needed to be tended to. "Tsunade-sama!" She cried once more, lugging a stack of papers down the stairs, as she turned a corner and jogged down the hallway. Finally, she laid eyes on the slug-princess. "Tsunade! Where have you been?" She turned around, and made a face. "Where have you been?" Shizune sighed, and handed Tsunade a stack of folders and papers.

"Whats all of this?" She asked, clearly annoyed by the work-load. Shizune placed her hands on her hips. "Did you forget already! There's an A Rank mission in there, hurry, we've got to get set!" Tsunade rolled her eyes, and frowned. "Alright, lets get this in order." She jogged up the steps, Shizune on her heels. Inside her office, she sat down in her chair, and spread the documents across her desk. She looked them over, and nodded. "I see... so the Lightning country has requested an escort for their princess. She's returning from business in the Fire country." Shizune nodded. "Which team do you find best suited for this mission?"

Tsunade read the files over again, and closed her eyes. "Things have been getting rough lately. We only have two available teams in the village." She looked out the window, and reminisced on a small blonde boy bursting with energy. Naruto... Where did you go?... Why did you have to disappear from the village... Ever since Naruto had disappeared, the village seems to have lost a lot of it's spunk. Tsunade stamped a document, and pulled a file out of her drawer. "Alright, I'll be sending team 3. Thats Tokai Mitashi, Shikara Nara, and Soren Doketsu. Have a letter be sent to them immediately." Shizune nodded, and disappeared out the door...

Shikara suddenly woke up, covered in sweat. Shaking, Shikara slowly got out of bed. She wondered why she had such a dream that seemed seemed so... so... realistic. Thinking this, she made breakfast. She ate slowly, thinking over the dream.

After breakfast, Shikara brushed her teeth, and got dressed. She looked at the letter on the table. It said:

Shikara Nara:

Your presence is requested in the Hokage's office. See to it that you attend the meeting schedualed for Saturday afternoon at 8:00AM

-Shizune

Shikara remembered that today was Saturday, and looked at the time.

8:06 AM

Her eyes widened. She sped out the door, leaving a dust-trail behind her.

When she got there, she knocked on the door.
"Enter!" came a voice. She opened the door, and her comrades stood there, turned around to see who entered.

!~!~!~![~!~!~!~X~!~!~!~]!~!~!~!

Tsunade placed her head in her hands. "Late again Shikara? This would be your third time." She got up, and walked to the window. "Might I suggest an earlier bed time, you party animal?" The woman walked back to her desk after gazing out at Konoha, and placed a folder down on it. Removing the contents, a few papers, and pictures were spread across the desk. There was a beautiful girl in the photos. She wore a silver headband, and her smile was one of angels. Her blue eyes were partially hidden by the blonde hair that matted her face. Tsunade pointed at one of the pictures, and eyed the team. "This is Princess Kumorashi. She is leaving the fire country, and is heading back to the Fire country. Your mission is to escort her until you reach the Lightning country's gates. A few Lightning country jounin will be awaiting your arrival. They will take her from there."

The woman looked at the team. They seemed capable of such a mission. Tokai stood about 5'5, and had auburn hair that always seemed to stay out of his eyes. He wore two heavy brown straps across his chest, which held two very large swords to his back. He wore what looked like a skirt that went down to his knees. His legs, which were further clothed by the pants, emerged from the cut-off point, and extended towards the ground. His family symbol, which resembled a ying-yang, was plastered on the front of the skirt-like garb. He was a weapon specialist, and favored using his large swords for combat. His lean appearance would fool someone into thinking that he couldn't handle large swords like that. That would be their downfall. He was very skilled, and was expected to make it to the final round of the
chunin exams.

She then turned to the other male of the group, Soren. He was known for his taijutsu. Tsunade smiled. He's a great taijutsu user. He just doesn't have motivation like... he used to be. She pictured a young boy with passion for hard work. She felt a tear welling up in her eye, but was quick to wipe it away. She thought back to the horrible incident. Lee had died shortly before Naruto disappeared. The green beast had a few internal injuries that he was too stubborn to acknowledge. He believed that everything would be beaten by his determination and work. However, it was his will of fire that ended up killing him in the end. It tore the villagers to shreds when the funeral came around, especially Gai, Neji, Tenten, and Naruto.

She sighed, and did her best to put up a fake smile for the team. Soren used a pair of brass knuckles that used his chakra for enhanced power. Much like Asuma's old weapons, they extended in range when enough chakra was consumed. This only made Tsunade more depressed. Asuma had died combating the fiends of Akatsuki long ago. She looked the boy over. He was dressed in clothes similar to Neji's when Neji was his age. It was a white robe, which provided maximum mobility for a quick taijutsu user. Soren has black hair that was cut short. It fell just above his eyes, and extended into a ponytail in the back. He stood confident, and while he wasn't a genius in hard work, he excelled at chakra control.

Finally, the woman looked at Shikara.

(Heh, sorry it's been a few days since he posted that. XP I've had writers block er whatever it's called. If you can't imagine what Shikara looks like after reading the description here's a crappy picture I did of her. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/Photoshop_Account/Shikara---Photoshop.gif And she doesn't have a Sand headband around her neck. The pic is 'cause I'm not a very good describer. And this is going to suck because I don't really have a good way of putting things in an understandable way. XP)

Shikara resembled both Shikamaru and Temari. She had Shikamaru's colored hair with Temari's hair color for streaks. Longer four-pigtails. Her eyes were the same color as Temari's, with Shikamaru's brown eyes around the pupil. A net shirt, and A very Temari-liked off-shouldered shirt, that's light pink. She wore shorts like Shikamaru's shorts, and net's on her legs where Temari used to wear them. She wore her Konoha headband on her left arm, it pinned to her sleeve. Her special attack was Kagemane no jutsu, like her father and his father and so on.

Tsunade looked Shikara up and down. She smiled. She resembled her father and mother alot. Shikamaru and Temari went looking for Naruto after he disappeared. Other people went looking for him, including Kakashi, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, and Shino. They thought about bringing more people but Shino said that if they brought more people, Naruto might find out and be harder to find. How would he be harder to find? Because if Naruto disappeared, if he found out people were tracking him down, he'd make it harder for them to find him because, well, Shino said for them to think about it.

Shizune motioned with her hand for Tsunade to continue. Tsunade closed her eyes, and sat on the desk. "You all most likely know that we're on a shortage of Ninja right now... Most of the jounin are already on missions outside of Konoha, and we cannot afford to send anymore at the risk of the village being attacked. We do however, believe in your abilities as ninja, and trust that you can carry out this mission until we can send backup. A few jounin should actually be returning soon, you won't be alone for too long."

The woman scooted off the side of the desk, and sat in her chair, pulling a paper out of a folder, and reading it carefully. "Neji should be returning soon, along with his students. He'll most likely be the one accompanying you later." She pointed out the window. "Go home, and start packing for a five day trip. I understand that the caravan you'll be traveling with will provide you with food, water, and a place to sleep. I suggest you pack only what you think you'll need outside of those necessities." She raised her arm, and dropped it. "Dismissed!"

Tokai nodded, bowed, and left the room without a word. Soren however, stayed at the desk, and turned to Shikara. "Go ahead, I have something to talk to Tsunade-sama about."

- - -

Tokai stepped out of the building, and looked off into the distance. He smelled rain, and beyond the horizon sat dark clouds. He leaped from roof to roof until he came to a large tree. He landed on a large branch, and dashed to the top of the tree, where he stood on the tip. This tree was historically known as the "Avenger's Nest", as it was said that a very powerful ninja of Konoha would often rest here when he had to think. Tokai respected this ninja for his hardships, but only to a degree. This ninja had later betrayed the village, and Tokai pondered this whenever the elders told the story.

He looked out into the distance, and saw the clouds clearer than ever. Something in the sky caught his eye, and he gritted his teeth at the sight. A dove circled over his head high in the sky. He frowned, and leaped off the tree. This mission was bothering him for some reason. Why these omens? Why these feelings of uneasiness in his heart. He didn't have time to question them. He needed to get home, and pack what he needed...

(Sorry I always take so long.

I have trouble thinking f what to write. This one's gunna SUCK!! XP)

Shikara rolled her eyes, and exited the room. She went home, wanting to pack.

~FF To When She Gets Home~

She opened the door, and her little sister running to her. "Onee-chan!!" The girl, about 6 years of age, clung to her, smiling. "Hey, Komika." Shikara grabbed Komika's arms, and put her out and arms length. She studied the girl as if she hadn't seen her for years. She had slivery silky hair, blue-ish silver-ish eyes, with a bit of pink, she wore a smile that would brighten up your day no matter what. She stood about 3'8, wearing a pink kimono with purple designs on it, with turqoise dragonflies on it with pink wings, she had a blue fan she used to attack. She looked nothing like her older sister or parents, but had her mothers' attacks.
"Onee-chan? You look worried..." Shikara didn't know what to say. She couldn't just well leave her little sister home while she's gone, but if she brought her with them she might slow them down.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, Komika..." She put on a fake smile. She stood up and went into the kitchen. She cooked dinner for her and her sister. She ate slowly and quietly. Komika stared at her older sister, curious as to what was going on.
"*Groan* Ok, Komika, I'll tell you. You know how Naruto disappeared from the village? Well, Tsunade-sama wants us, Tokai, Soren, and me, along with Neji and his students to look for him." Komika looked at Shikara, emotionless.
'Gawsh, why does she have to stare at me like that? It gives me the chills!! It reminds me of Gaara... Speaking of Gaara, whatever happened to him?'

After dinner, Shikara went into her room and closed the door. She took out a backpack, and packed what she needed.

Kunai
Shurkien
A charm
And a picture of her family.

After she was done, she went to bed, after saying goodnight to Komika.
