Chapter 46

[ Back in Konoha ]

'' Kurenai-sensei, what kind of mission are we getting today. '' Hinata asked Kurenai as her team were strolling towards the mission hall for their daily mission.

'' We'll see. '' Kurenai said with a smile.

'' I hope it's not that Tora retrieval mission again. '' Kiba said with a huff.

He really hated cats, they are very lazy, moody, stubborn and the list goes on.

As they reach the Mission hall, they were greeted with the Hokage, and some ninjas sitting on a table waiting for them.

Also one particular ninja surprised Kurenai with his presence.

'' Asuma-san ! '' Kurenai had a beaming look un her face.

'' Ah ! Kurenai-san, fancy seeing you here. '' Asuma rubbed the back of his neck.

'' Me and my team are here for a mission. What about you. ''

'' Same here. ''

That day, both Kurenai's and Asuma's team recieved a joint escorting mission. Their job was to escort their client to the land of waterfall. Their client was a big coward. That was what Naruto would say. Despite that, he was the leader of the land of water fall.

Arriving at their destination, they were greeted by a beautiful water fall. That was supposed to be the entrance to the village it self, but they were not allowed to enter it yet.

'' This sucks. '' Kiba complained as he picked out a soda can from the river. '' I can't believe we are doing a D~ranked mission in the middle of a C~ranked mission. ''

'' I agree with you. '' Shikamaru said as he picked another soda can.

'' You people complain too much. '' Shino said in his usual toneless voice. '' These D~ranked mission are the things that will spread trust between villages. ''

'' I fail to see, how these odd jobs would deepen trust between villages. '' Kiba said.

Before Shino could gave a response to Kiba, he heard a distinct sound.

'' Do you guys hear that? '' He asked his comrades.

'' Hear what? ''

The sound was very familiar to the Aburame clan. It was the sound of an insect flapping its wings. But the sound belonged to something bigger than the usual insect.

From the sky, the all saw a young girl flying above the clear blue sky, with what seemed to be like insect wings.

'' Woah, dude she's flying! '' Kiba exclaimed.

All if them were at awe at the sight before that they could not utter any words. Was it common to see a person fly in the sky?... No its not.

The one who was the most awed was Shino.

'' Marvelous! '' Shino exclaimed under his breath, as no one noticed what he had said.

'' Oi Shino! you're the bug expert here, just what kind of transformation jutsu is that? Hey ! Can you hear me? '' Kiba found out that Shino was no longer there.

As Fu, landed on a branch of a tree, She let out a sigh of satisfaction. Being a Jinchuriki was a boring life, She could not do what ever she wants, and could not go where ever she goes. That why today was a fun day as she managed to successfully escaped and had a nice and refreshing time flying around the forest enjoying the cool breeze blowing on her.

But a sudden presence, sent her to combat mode.

'' I know someone's there. '' She called out. '' Reveal yourself. ''

Shino emerged from his hiding place. And casually walked towards Fu. '' I mean you no harm.''

'' Oh! You are one of the foreign Ninjas our village has hired to escort our leader. ''

'' Yes, I'm one of them. ''

'' What are doing here ? are you stalking me ? ''

'' No no.'' Shino denied frantically. '' I was just here to see your wings. ''

'' You are here to see my wings? '' Fu asked in confusion. It was not uncommon for people to come to see her wings, especially when they mark her as the Seven tailed Jinchuriki. These wings caused a lot of problems in the past, because people don't usually like being near a Jinchuriki, for fear that they might unleash the destruction of the tailed beast sealed inside of them.

That is why from the time she became a Jinchuriki, everyone avoided her like a plague, that could bring destruction at any moment.

'' Why? '' Fu asked.

'' Your wings are the most marvelous and stunning things I have ever seen. '' Shino said.

'' Huh? '' That was all that came out from Fu's mouth. Everyone disliked her for her wings, but this trenchcoat wearing guy infront of her was the very first person to call her wings stunning and marvelous.

'' Did I say anything wrong? '' Shino asked.

'' No no, nothing's wrong. '' She replied. '' I never got your name. ''

'' Sorry for my lack of manners. My name is Shino Aburame. It's nice meeting you.'' Shino gave a bow.

'' It's nice meeting you too. My name is Fu.'' Fu also gave a bow.

'' So, Fu-san what kind of jutsu do you use to manifest these marvelous wings of yours. '' Shino asked.

'' Oh these? '' Fu touched her wings, hesitant to tell Shino that she got these from being a Jinchuriki. '' It's my bloodline limit, these wings are from the time I was born. '' She just came up with a plausible lie.

'' Oh! I see. '' Shino replied.

There followed an awkward silence.

'' So, Fu-san can I touch your wings. ''

'' HEH! '' Fu exclaimed in shock as her face was flushed red in embarrassment. From the time she had became a Jinchuriki, no one had made and close contact with her, so obviously no one had ever asked her if she could allow them to touch her wings.

Although, these wings were not exactly her's to begin with, she felt so embarrassed when Shino asked her if he could touch them. It was like he asked her if he could touch her boobs.

'' Sorry, if I startled you with my sudden request. '' Shino apologized also regretting that he could not touch them. '' I take back what I said. ''

'' Don't apologize, I was just shocked. '' Fu waved her hands infront of her in a cute manner. '' I mean no one has asked me if they could touch my wings. You can touch them if you like. ''

Fu turned her back towards Shino and opened her back a little bit exposing some skin while revealing her wings to Shino.

Shino touched her wings with his fingers first. That sent shivers down Fu's spine, earning a cute ''eep'' from her. She never knew her wings were this sensitive.

'' Sorry, I'll stop if this makes you feel uncomfortable. '' Shino immediately removed his hand from her wings.

'' Its ok! its just that I am quite sensitive there. Please do continue. ''

Shino hesitantly touch here wings again, this time a bit more gentle. But that did not stop Fu from from feeling a strange feeling in her stomach.

Shino then began caressing her wings gently. '' Marvelous. '' He muttered, which then followed by, '' These are soo beautiful. ''

' Did he just called me beautiful? ' Fu mind was beginning to feel very hazy, due to how good Shino was touching her wings. It was soo good that she had to suppress herself from moaning.

Shino had a wonderful time getting to see and touch these marvelous looking pair of wings. While Fu was melting at the touch of Shino's hand.

But their moment fell short, due to an annoying teammates of Shino's.

'' Shino you're here? we were looking everywhere for you. '' Kiba emerged without their notice.

[ Back With Naruto. ]

It has been an uneventful journey, they had not encountered anymore enemies, for quite a while. Although They had each and every right to return back to Konoha, due to Tazuna lying to them about the dangers that he had hide from them.

His village was a poor village, and was worse was that an evil merchant named Gato had hired men to kill him to stop him from completing his bridge. Because the bridge he was building was the only way for them to escape from Goto's tyrannical rule and a way for them to begin a new life, free from poverty and from Gato's rule.

But Naruto and Kakashi's team volunteered to continue with the mission.

Suddenly, Naruto felt a murderous intent, making him throw a kunai towards a bush with no warning.

'' What the hell you blonde bastard! you almost gave me a heart attack ! '' Sakura yelled.

'' Shut up. '' He just replied in an emotionless tone.

He moved closer to the bush and inspect it. Behind it was a white rabbit who was unconscious, as the Kunai was nailed to the tree trunk behind it, just barely missing its head. Naruto took it from its ears.

'' Well that's dinner. '' Naruto planned on eating rabbit meat for dinner

'' Don't you dare harm this little cutie. '' Sakura snatched it from his hand and began to baby talk it.

But Naruto suddenly felt the same murderous intent again and it's comming from above.

'' Get down everyone! '' Kakashi yelled. And everyone was on the ground. A large sword flew past them, then embedding it self on a tree.

A man was seen standing on the handle of the the humongous blade. He had his nose and mouth covered with bandages, and a forehead protector of the mist was tied on his head. He was none other than Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the bloody mist.

'' Look what we have here. '' Zabuba said with relish. '' Prey. ''

'' You're Kakashi Hatake of the hidden leaf, the man with a thousand jutsu. ''

'' And you must be Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the bloody mist. ''

'' I appreciate you knowing me, but you have hand me over that old man if you all want to live. ''

'' Sorry but I can't do that. '' Kakashi replied.

Picking up his giant sword, he said to them in a menacing voice'' Well then, tine to die- '' Before Zabuza could complete his speech, a blur approached Infront of him. With great reflexes, he dodge the blur.

The tree that was struck by the blur, was mercilessly cleaved.

Zabuza looked at his attacker, which was naruto with his sword Despair in his right hand.

'' I don't have time to chit chat. '' Naruto pointed his sword at Zabuza. '' If you see an enemy, don't waste time, just kill them. ''

'' Nice words kid. '' Zabuza also pointed his sword towards Naruto. '' But words will not help kill this demon. ''

Naruto gave his trademark creepy grin, '' You are not the only demon here. ''
