• I sat silently near the water waiting for him to show up. My name was Misty his was Tymaru. He required all of his students to call him Tymaru sensei though. I’m one of those students. He teaches the basic ninja skills; if he thinks you’re good enough you’re moved up to gennin and u get another sensei and ect. ect. This wasn’t my first day with him and I knew enough about him to know hat he was always late. Usually I wait with the other kids. But today he told me to stay after lunch. Then I saw a blur flash past me and I knew it was him. Even though I didn’t know where he was I had a hunch. So I kept a straight face and without moving my head I said "Good afternoon sensei." Next thing I know I’m in the air 20 feet from the ground. I didn’t panic though. I landed softly on my feet and stared at the person in front of me. Definitely not Tymaru. "Who are you?" the person replied "I’m here to give you your gennin test." by this point I could’ve guessed that. Then he said "You can’t be the one I’m supposed to be testing the way you were in the air. You didn’t even realize I was right behind u the whole time." Now I was pissed so I decided to smart mouth with him a little "first of all I thought you were my sensei and I know better than to attack my sensei second I knew you were behind me which is really just a bad point for me if I tried to attack you I would end up in a worse situation and thirdly I can tell you’re here for the gennin test but I was kind of hoping for a name." That did it. He had a pretty short temper because next thing that happened was he rushed behind me and held a kunai to my neck. I still remained calm. I grabbed his hand and threw him over my shoulder, barely managing to avoid the kunai that was still being help to my neck. I stood up and looked at him. crap i thought it was just a clone because in front of me was a cloud of smoke and Kakashi was no where to be found. I quickly jumped back and stood on top of the water of the lake. Then I heard a voice. "You’re a little hasty eh misty?" now I was spooked how the crap did he know my name? I looked down and realized that I was definitely in a bad position. I tried to jump away but I was too late he was already pulling me down into the lake. I made quick hand signs and yelled out "WATER IMPLOSION!" there was a huge explosion of water and we both flew out of the lake. I landed in a tree almost losing my balance and falling off. I saw him on the ground he seemed to be ok so I remained where I was and unsheathed my katana. Then he looked up. "I guess since you’re so ready to begin your test that I should go ahead and say the rules. This is a death match. Anything goes; I can stop the match if I find it necessary. Now then BEGIN!" I jumped off the tree and charged at him my katana at an attack position. He did just what I thought he would he put up a kunai in a defensive stance. I jumped over him and slashed at him from behind. There was another puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared I was a log "substitution." I muttered under my breath. Then I sheathed my katana and did more hand signs "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" 3 clones appeared beside me. Then we stood there and listened closely.....a bird call.....a cricket chirp....a buzzing bee........then I heard it a very soft brush off tall grass on a leg. One of the clones quickly turned around and grabbed Kakashi’s arm and threw him into the air. I jumped into the air and from behind him I yelled "LIONS BARRAGE" he slammed into the ground and hesitated for a moment. That was all I needed. Another clone kicked him back into the air. "DEMONS BARRAGE" I screamed. then before he could react I made more hand signs "CHIDORI!" I hit him directly in the stomach and he fell to the ground I landed softly next to him a few feet back and stared at him. I watched him as he slowly got up and his hands moved to his headband that covered his left eye. When he moved the headband he revealed the Sharingan. What the hell. I thought how’d he get Sharingan I was told only members of the now almost extinct Uchiha clan had it and why only in one eye? He saw the look on my face and started laughing. He covered his eye back up and walked over to me. "You passed" he said "i-i don’t understand" "you passed you didn’t expect the gennin test to be that hard did you?" he began to walk off "come on we need to go find you a new sensei." I hesitated for a second then followed him.
    When we reached the academy there was a number of people there mostly Chunnins or higher probably there as candidates for my new sensei. Kakashi walked to each person noted something then moved on. Then he turned to me "There are 2 people that would best fit your style and method of fighting and training." "Do I get a choice or what?" "Sort of." he began "you will spend one day with each of them and then make your choice of who u think would be best, if they agree then they will be your sensei." "oh." I said "tomorrow you’ll start with...Naruto Uzumaki." At the sound of naruto I immediately turned around and started to walk back to the training field. Kakashi grabbed my shoulder "I know what you’re thinking being trained by a Jinjuriki this is going to be hell. But trust me you’ll like him he was my student once." "That’s not why I’m going." "Oh would u like to tell me why then." "As much as I’d love to I’d rather not." "Then maybe you’ll like your other choice better." "Who is it?" I asked questioningly. "Sasuke Uchiha." "Yea I’m out of here." I began walking off again. Then I felt 2 hands grab me this time. I was getting pretty upset right now so I looked up to see who else was grabbing me. I saw the face of Naruto and Sasuke. "Why won’t you people just let me go?" "Because Naruto and I were looking forward to seeing who would get their first student as new jonnin." "Yea well it won’t be me." "Why not?" they both said at once "I don’t want anything having to do with either of you for my own reasons that I wish not to reveal." "What if you just told us alone like in a room no one else there no one will find out" Kakashi started in. "because you 3 are the ones that I don’t want to know the most." "God I really didn’t want to have to do this" Sasuke began. I could guess what was coming and wasn’t staying to find out if I was right. I started running and in a cloud of smoke I disappeared. I sat by the lake watching the sun set when I heard footsteps behind me. I sighed and got up to start running again when the person spoke and I immediately recognized the voice of Sasuke. "Don’t bother running away" "why should I listen to you" "because if u take one step you’ll fall. If u haven’t noticed yet your legs are tied up" I looked down and I saw that he was right. I rolled my eyes and sat back down "what do you want from me" "i want to know why you won’t be mine or Naruto’s student." he replied. "Do you really want to know?" "Yes i do." "Then go get Kakashi and Naruto cause I’m not telling this story again." he ran off to go get them. When they came back they sat down and waited for me to begin my story like 3 year olds. "I guess i should start with what my last name is because i never told anyone what it was." i waited to see if they would make a comment when they didn’t i went on. "My full name is Misty Uchiha" then i paused again and i knew what was going to happen. I felt a rush of wind as Sasuke shot up and pinned me to a tree. "Don’t joke about that ever EVER again u little brat!" "But....I’m not....joking my father...was...Itachi Uchiha." Sasuke stared at me and then let me go. "That can’t be true he killed the entire Uchiha clan" "obviously not if you’re alive." "He only left me alive" "no he didn’t he left me alive....and he let u live and he let Madara live." Sasuke was silent for a moment "prove it." "What?" i said "prove that you’re an uchiha." i knew this was coming too. I closed my eyes then opened them wide revealing my Sharingan. Sasuke just stood there staring at me like i was insane Kakashi like fell over and naruto just sat there not paying attention at all. "Are you 2 ok?" "I-i don’t believe it.... she really is an Uchiha..." Kakashi managed to stammer at last. "What i don’t believe is that she’s my niece." Sasuke said. "Well don’t think I’m very happy about it Mr. Sunshine." i muttered under my breath. "Who was your mom?" Sasuke suddenly snapped at me. "I-i never got to know her i was only a couple of years old when it happened." Naruto continued to not pay attention and Kakashi was still in shock "if you 2 are done interrupting I’d like to tell you the rest of my story." Sasuke sat down and Naruto suddenly began listening for a change. "Since i was so young i had no idea what was going on. I was told that i just cried for days on end until someone rescued me....the person who saved me was Orochimaru." i waited again to see what would happen but this time there was no interruptions. "He took care of me for a while then something happened....he…he demanded something in return for his kindness to me. I knew he was doing experiments so i volunteered to be a test subject and he agreed. The test was seeing if i could handle the curse mark...the test was a success. then he demanded one other thing from me he told me that in order to make sure Akatsuki...i didn’t know who they were then.... in order to make sure Akatsuki wouldn’t get world domination that i must be the Jinjuriki of the 8 tailed demon....or the 8 tailed snake." i was silent again. This time it wasn’t quiet. "YOU’RE WHAT?!?!?!??!" Kakashi screamed "THATS WHY YOU WONT TRAIN WITH ME OR NARUTO?!?!" Sasuke exclaimed. But again Naruto remained silent but he looked up at me and from the expression on his face he needed Sasuke and Kakashi to shut up. Then i spoke up. "WHY DONT YOU 2 SHUT UP I THINK NARUTO WANTS TO TALK!!" they went silent immediately. "Well Naruto?" i said. "I don’t see why you won’t train with us that’s all." Naruto said. "i didn’t feel like training with Sasuke because i really didn’t feel like training with a family member and i wont train with you Naruto because I’m sure Kyuubi can tell if another demon is present." Kakashi started to talk again "well your excuse for Sasuke is kind of stupid but i understand your deal with naruto. But you’re still going to end up with one of them and so far it’s leaning towards Sasuke mostly because of the curse mark and your Sharingan." these people just didn’t get it "cant i just train with you Kakashi?" "No." "Why the heck not?!?!?!" "because-" Sasuke cut him off "because no one would want to train a stuck up girl like you. I’m ashamed to even be related to you." he glared at me. I looked at him then i got up and started to walk off again as i said "i didn’t want a sensei in the first place." i could tell from the silence that they were speechless. I started walking towards the old Uchiha village as it got dark. It was my only home in this village where I felt close to my parents again. I sat on my parent’s bed and silently began to cry. Then i heard footsteps. I got up and grabbed my katana, and then i heard an all too familiar voice. "Put the sword away child." it was Tsunade the Hokage. I immediately put away my katana and sat back down on the bed. "Kakashi told me of your little problem." idiot i though he could keep it a secret. "What’s your point" i said "I’ve seen all of your records misty you’re best suited for either of those 2 you need to choose one." "Yea well you know why i won’t. I wont train with a family member and I’m not training with another demon and besides after what they said to me earlier i don’t think they would give a crap if i died the next day." Tsunade stared at me like i was insane. "What the heck are you talking about Kakashi just said that you didn’t like either of your choices." i knew right then that i had said the wrong thing. "Uh um er....." "Well since you’ve already said that much why don’t you tell me the whole story." "Why so you can go tell the whole village?" "Misty I’m the Hokage the only other person that would find out is the ANBU chief and that’s only if it’s a major problem." i still wouldn’t give in "just go ask Kakashi." "If you won’t tell me ill use force." "Go ahead lady." "I saw a blur then next thing i know I’m on the ground with my hands pinned behind me.”What the hell Tsunade." "I’m not Tsunade." i heard a deep voice say then it hit me they wouldn’t sent Tsunade after something like. No Kakashi did tell someone he told the ANBU and the ANBU wanted to hear it from me. "Get off me retard!" "That’s not going to get u anywhere u little brat." "Yea well this might." before he could say anything more i swung my leg back and hit him in the head. I quickly got up and ran outside where i discovered about 5 more ANBUs. Oh great i thought this is going to be a heck of a chase. I jumped up and onto the roof. The ANBUs followed me. I knew where i needed to go a place that i knew better than them. I jumped off the roof and headed for the dense forest nearby not bothering to look back. I jumped onto a tree branch and went like that for a while until i lost my footing and tripped. Oh snap! I thought. I was on the ground and before i could make a move to get up i felt 3 people pin me down. Then i felt something hit my neck and i blacked out. When i woke up i was in a dimly lit room with the same 5 ANBUs and the one i kicked surrounding me. "You’re going to tell us what the heck is going on with you." one said." “That’s not happening retards." i said coldly. "We told you we would use force." "and i told you i don’t give a crap." then i felt pain like 1000 volts shoot up my left arm "AUGH!!!" i screamed "every time you don’t do as we ask you get one of those and each time it gets more and more painful. I still wouldn’t give in "i don’t think you should do that." "Oh and why is that." the first ANBU said. "Because i won’t give in until i die and if i die you don’t get what you want." "That’s not true. We got what we wanted we just want to hear it from you." "My story doesn’t change i told Kakashi everything i remember." i felt another sharp bolt of electricity shoot up my arm. "AUGH!!!!!!!!" i fell out of the chair i was sitting in and laid on the floor in pain feeling like i would pass out from it. "WHY WONT YOU LOSERS BELIVE ME!?" "its not that we don’t believe you its just that we know you’re not telling the truth." "The only other thing you idiots need to know is that i had noting and still don’t have anything to do with Akatsuki. I know that’s what you want. You think i know everything about them. Well i don’t." the ANBUs were silent. One of them whispered something in a second ANBUs ear and then they untied me. "What so now i can go?" "For now you can." said the second ANBU. "But we will be watching you one wrong move and u will be back in that chair quicker than you can say....poof. I stood there silent. Then i grabbed my katana from the ground and ran out as fast as i could to Kakashi’s place. By the way it looked out side it was already 11:00 at night. I knocked n the door and when Kakashi answered the door i hurriedly began telling him what happened. He could tell i was upset but he just calmly told me to tell him what i needed that couldn’t wait for in the morning. "Huh? Oh that. I just wanted to ask you if i can have Sasuke for a sensei." he looked at me sort of surprised. "Well i suppose as long as he agrees to it...." then i asked "would it also be possible for me to take medical ninjutsu with Sakura?" Kakashi looked at me for a second then replied "it would be possible but you’re most likely to be trained by Tsunade." "that’s fine." i told him smiling. When i left his place a little later i walked back to the Uchiha village knowing things would be getting a lot better.


    (1 month later)

    I woke up and saw the sun shining through the window of my room. I heard a knock on the door and i looked over at the clock. "Oh crap!" i was late for training with Sasuke and today he said we were doing something special. I jumped out of bed quickly changed grabbed my katana and ran to answer the door. When i opened it i was surprised to see not only Sasuke there but Kakashi Shikamaru and Sakura. Sasuke spoke up first "today were having a mission... your first A rank mission." then Kakashi started in. "its an escort mission/assassination." "Wait an assassination? Isn’t that like for ANBUs and jonnin?" "Well think about it Misty you got 2 jonnin 2 chunnins and well you and you’re a genin. It can’t turn out that bad." Sasuke said then Sakura also said "plus 2 of us are medical ninja and Shikamaru is a strategist." "Yea i guess it makes sense." i said. We walked away from my place over to the Hokage house. Probably to get briefed on the mission i thought. When we got to the Hokage room Kakashi knocked on the door. "Come in!" i heard a voice belonging only to Tsunade say. Kakashi and Tsunade exchanged a few words whispering while i stayed in the back of the little group waiting for the mission brief. "Ok people!" i heard Tsunade say “your mission is to escort the village elders to the hidden sand village." i spoke up "but Kakashi said it was also an assassination mission." "Ah yes we are expecting someone to attack us and we need that person gone." me and everyone else in the room went silent. "Do we get to know who this person is?" Shikamaru started in. "the person is known as Goku." "Goku? isn’t that one of those characters from dragon ball Z or something?" i put in "well yea people say that he looks just like him so they started calling him Goku." "He’s a dangerous man" Shizune started to say. "Which is why we need him taken out now." "Did you have any plan in particular?" asked Sasuke. "Not exactly." "But that’s what I’m for right?" said Shikamaru. "precisely." said Tsunade. As we walked out of the Hokage’s house the village elders trailing behind us, we began the trek to the hidden sand village not knowing what laid ahead of us. Things went just how Tsunade planned everything was fine until we noticed someone following us. We turned around and didn’t believe what we saw. The rumors were true. He looked exactly like the Goku from dragon ball Z. it was Kakashi who spoke up first "so Goku anything you had in mind for doing while following us?" "Oh...maybe just kill you all." Goku said. And as he said that i saw a blur as Sasuke charged at Goku his own sword held at an attack position. Shikamaru was deep in thought (as usual) Kakashi was busy trying to get a sneak attack while Sasuke was unsuccessfully attacking Goku and Sakura just stood next to me not doing anything. "Sakura shouldn’t we be fighting with Sasuke and Kakashi?" i questioned "no. were medical ninja if we get hurt its most likely the mission will fail. Watch the elder-" she cut herself off. I saw a blur flash past and I though i knew who it was. I immediately looked over to the elders who stood there bewildered. "Watch out!" i yelled but I knew it wouldn’t be enough. I ran from my spot right in front of the path of the blur. I stuck out my foot and watched the blur fumble and land on the ground. "Wow....that worked better than planned." i thought aloud. I looked at the person in front of me. It wasn’t Goku. What the crap! I thought. The person in front of me was Sasuke. Then i saw Goku and Kakashi going head on in a full fledged fight. I wanted to help and i knew there had to be a way for me to help. My eyes darted around the landscape looking for something that might help us. Then i saw it. Not so far off there was a canyon. If he fell off of that he’d be dead for sure. "Kakashi the canyon!" i screamed. Kakashi looked at me and nodded. He understood what i was going at. But Kakashi was standing with his back facing the canyon. Not a good thing. I helped Sasuke to his feet then took out my own katana. Before anyone could stop me i jumped into the air and slashed at Goku’s shoulder. It went as planned. He didn’t see me move. My attack hit him. He turned around and snarled at me "what the heck do you think you’re doing little girl. This isn’t like your fights at home. I’m going to finish off every last one of you." "We’ll see about that now wont we." i said coldly. His hand flashed out and before i knew what was happened i felt a sharp blow to my head and i fell to the ground heard him walk over to me and he took out a kunai and placed it by my neck. "i think u should get to be the first to die." he said. I gulped and looked around. Sasuke and Sakura were closely watching Goku while protecting the elders Shikamaru was still thinking (how surprising) and Kakashi was no where to be found. i looked up and saw Goku raise the kunai ready to strike me when there was a yell and then a flash of light as Kakashi tackled Goku "CHIDORI!" he yelled and he attacked Goku his Chidori finding its target, they both tumbled over to side of the cliff. i was first to realize what happened. I jumped up and applying chakra to my feet i jumped over the edge of the canyon. As i fell i put my feet on the wall of the canyon and began running down the side of the cliff. I was too late. Kakashi and Goku already hit the ground. All i could see was a cloud of dust. I heard Sasuke, Sakura and Shikamaru following closely behind. I jumped off about 10 feet from the ground and landed next to Kakashi. He was breathing but he passed out. I began to slowly heal Kakashi’s injuries until Sakura got down and took over for me. Sasuke Shikamaru and i watched her. I looked over at Goku. He looked unconscious. I didn’t think much else and turned back to Sakura who was just finishing up. "He’s out cold but he should be ok." Sakura said. I looked at the ground not paying much attention. Kakashi is out cold and it’s my entire fault. I thought. I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Sasuke. "Its ok," he began. "He wasn’t majorly hurt he’s still alive." "Yea but it could’ve be-" he cut me off "who cares what it could’ve been. What could’ve been obviously didn’t happen so chill." i looked back at Kakashi. "I just wanted to help." "I know and you did." "I did?" i asked bewildered "well yea u were like a distraction so Kakashi could make sure his attack would hit." "Oh that makes sense." Sasuke left it at that and walked over to Sakura to ask her something. I walked over to Goku and looked at him. I heard a yell "don’t get to close!" and then next thing i knew i was on the ground and Goku was just a blur. he was aiming to finish off Kakashi. i quickly stood up and thought of how the situation should go. Then i jumped over Kakashi’s body straight in the way of Goku and i felt a slash of pain as Goku attacked with what i realized later was my own katana. I fell to the ground holding my am where he hit me and looked over to Kakashi. He wasn’t there anymore. Out of the corner of my eye i caught him standing on the canyon wall his Sharingan revealed and getting ready for one last hit. Kakashi ran down the side of the mountain and yelled out "THIS IS THE END GOKU! CHIDORI!" Goku was ready for this though. He grabbed me put me in front of him and stabbed the katana through my shoulder hitting Kakashi square in the chest. Moving my head a little to the side from the searing pain in my shoulder the Chidori missed me but hit Goku. Kakashi Goku and i fell to the ground. I managed to barely stay conscious and Sakura rushed over to start healing me. i pushed her away "go to Kakashi first i can do this on my own." she nodded and ran over to Kakashi while i began slowly healing the wound in my shoulder as i carefully removed the katana and set it next to me. I heard a gasp and then nothing. I knew from the silence that the unthinkable had happened. Kakashi was dead. i finished healing my shoulder and quickly got to my feet. Sasuke rushed over to me asking if i was ok. "I’m fine." i told him and i began to walk back up the canyon wall. Sasuke followed me "where do you think you’re going?" he asked "anywhere but here." "Oh and why is that?" "Because i just caused the death of Kakashi Hatake, The Copy Ninja, The Mirror Ninja whatever you want to call him. He’s dead and it’s my fault." "It’s not your fault." he said "yes it is." he jumped in front of me blocking my way. I stood there staring at him. “It’s not your fault that would’ve happened if you were there or not. Kakashi knew what he was doing. He knew from the start he was probably going to die trying to pull that off. He didn’t die in vain though. He did what he needed to do. He killed Goku." i kept staring at him. I jumped off the wall landing near Shikamaru and stood there. "I guess you’re right." i shouted up to Sasuke. And with that we grabbed Kakashi and Goku’s body and headed back to the village after sending Shikamaru to finish the escort mission. We told Tsunade what happened and she understood completely. "Even though there was a casualty you managed to complete the mission." she started then she turned to me. "you acted very brave misty. Like a true shinobi." i smiled at her and thanked her than turned around to leave. "Whoa where do you think you’re going Misty?" asked Sasuke. "I was going to go home. Why?" "You got to stay for the funeral." "Oh yea." i thought aloud.
    We stood outside listening to the priest say last words for Kakashi as we all filed into a line to leave a flower at his grave. The priest asked if anyone would like to say anything. Suddenly without thinking my hand shot up. "Ok Misty come on up." i walked up to where he was standing and began my little speech. "Although i didn’t know Kakashi very well, he was a true shinobi capable of so much with the respect of a Hokage. He died in battle but not in vain. He completed the mission and maybe more than that. For us here in the Leaf Village we will miss Kakashi greatly but never forget what he gave to our village." i paused for a moment. "He gave his entire life devoted to the Leaf Village. Keeping its secrets and helping in its time of need. And someday maybe well find another ninja as good as him...Kakashi Hatake." there was a silence then a cheer. I smiled weakly and looked over at Sasuke and Naruto. They both smiled back. I walked back over to them when i felt something wet hit my head. I looked up as it started to rain. "Even the heavens weep for such a loss." i heard Sasuke whisper to Naruto. All i did was look at the sky not paying attention anymore. Then i slowly walked back to my house as people began to do the same. Then Sasuke caught up to me. "Hey look i just wanted to tell u that u did great today and the speech and everything. So i think you’re ready for the chunnin exam." i stared at him my eyes as wide as saucers "OH MY GOD! No way!!!!!!!!" i exclaimed. "Yes way!" he said laughing. I hugged him then i smiled not only from my happiness but something else. i looked up at the sky again which was still gray with clouds. A cloud with a silver lining i thought. Then as Sasuke and i headed back to my place for some ramen i smiled again. Things were turning out good for me.
