Chapter 7
Shizukas pov.

Apparently the three dimwits passed bakashis "survival exercise." So now we're hiding in a tree looking for a damn cat.

And let's us begin another story.

Once upon a time, eight dragons died from boredom.

Now back to reality.

"Sasuke, point B"

"Sakura point C"

"Hello there dimwits whom I'm stuck with. It is I, Ryuus ghost for Ryuu has died from boredom and pure embarrassment that we can't catch a damn cat. Point D" I said sarcastically into the Wallis talkie. Groans emerge from the other line along with a chuckle from Bakashi.

"Very funny ryuu. Naruto? Are you here?"

"NARUTO AT POINT E, BELIEVE IT"

"Well shit whiskers. You know we're wearing headphones right? I feel like Im gonna lose more then one of my five senses and probably a limb too by the end of this." I could practically see him scratching his head nervously.

"Alright now, you all ready?"

"Yea, anytime!"

"Same"

"Ready."

"I ain't got nothin better to do, so what do you say? I kill the little sucker, feed it to some ancient vampire as a sacrifice, get some gold bars, then vanish off the face of the earth and return as a ruler of some long lost empire. Deal?" My mouth tasted just as salty as my attitude.

"Let's be nice now ryuu, we are ninja, not worshippers of some mythical being." Silence stretched out between our lines. "On my count, GO!"

War cries were yelled out from all directions until one meow of desperation catches my attention. I calmly walked out of the bushes to find a female cat struggling in Narutos hold. "Damn whiskers. I though you knew how to handle cats since, ya know. Whiskers?" Silence. "No? Oh nevermind. That Nara kid would've got it. Let's just get that little pest back to her owner before I snatch it for some satanic ritual to summon demons." Kakashi sweatdropped.

"Okay, mission to capture Tora complete. Let's report back to the hokage." Kakashi already started walking to the tower, leaving us in the dust.

"Your mission was a success I see." The hokage "praised". If that's what you would call it.

I rolled my eyes, "lord hokage. Permission to speak freely?"

"Granted."

"If that mission failed, I would've been on my fucking way to become a ruler of nations. But nooooo Bakashi had to take the poor little fucker back into that bitches fat ass hands that are probably suffocating her right now." I snapped then quickly regained my composure. Damn I was sassy.

"Okay then. What a broad vocabulary you have." He commented while iruka sweatdropped. "The next few missions include..." I tuned out whatever the old man was saying since no one else was listening anyway.

~

"A bunch of snot nosed brats are escorting me???" An old man barges in, drenched in slobber, sweat, salt, and sake.

A tick mark appeared on whiskers forehead, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING BRAT??"

I just glared at him with invisible daggers.

"And the shortest two!! You expect them to escort me home safely??" An irk mark soon appeared on me as well.

"Hey old fucker. We are the ones that are guiding you little bitch home safely. I suggest you not anger us any more unless you want me to kill you before any rogue can. And trust me. I will." I snarled at the man reeking of shit.

He flinched at my harsh wording. "Now now Ryuu, no need to get mean."

"Wait, Ryuu?" The old fucker soon looked at me as though I grew two heads.

"What?" I snapped back.

"Ryuu..... RYUU!! Oh my kami, I haven't seen you in ages!! And that kid, uh what's her name." He suddenly sobered up fast. I raised an eyebrow and cocked my head to the side. "RUKA! THATS HER NAME!! That kid, she's been asking if I would see you!"

My eyes widened then everything happened in slow motion. I sprinted full speed at him, grabbed him by the collar, and spat words full of both venom and pure joy in his ear, "listen up here fuckface, you'll tell me where the fuck you're from, who the fuck you are, how the fuck you know Ruka, and what the fuck you know about me. Capiche?"

The man sweated bullets, "uh, I'm from the land of waves, my name is Tazuna the master bridge builder, I know her from my grand son. He often hung around her. You? Well I know about what you did with that lightning from your hands, how you were good friends with her, and that your name is shizuka ryuu." Tazuna paused as if to think for a moment. "Oh, and Ruka calls you Shi."

"OH MY KAMI. WE GOTTA TAKE UP THIS MISSION. WE GOTTA LORD THIRD!!" My body spun around frantically.

"Woah woah woah. Who's this ruka?" Cherry bitch snarled out her name as if it was a piece of shit.

My gaze went from excitement to pure hatred. "Listen up here cherry bitch. I can be nice for only so long. Ruka is my best friend ever. You will say her name as if she were a princess or at least a human being. If you so much as speak of her informally I will snap your neck in half like a fucking twig. Understood cotton candy head?" Tears were threatening to leave her eyes as she nodded. The rest stated at me in awe. "Good. Now I'm deeply sorry for snapping at you Sakura San, I just don't like people talking about her like that. I hope you accept my apology." I bowed to add more effect.

Her cheeks tainted pink. "Y-yeah. It's fine. I-I'm sorry too."

I smiled semi warmly. "Now. When do we leave?"

~

"I've never been outside the village before, believe it. How many places have you been ryuu chan?" Whiskers questioned with curious eyes.

"Hell yea. Been to almost every land there is! Some were better then others. The land of waves was the first place I went to actually." I replied, earning praises from cherry and a scoff from duck ass.

"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late."

"Save it BAKAshi. Let's just get a move one shall we? The faster I get to the land of waves the faster both my life dies and replenishes." I stared off into the pathway beyond the gates longingly. Tazuna placed a hand on my shoulder and sent me a warm smile. "Let's go!"

~

We were walking along the yellow dirt road when all of a sudden a small puddle caught my eye. I gave it a dafuq face then turned to Kakashi whom just nodded in acknowledgment. Mizu, is that of your dragons doings or ? I questioned him since only two people could have done that. Either ninja or dragon. Or some stupid kid who would be roaming around just so happened to spill his water right where we were walking.

It doesn't smell like our kind in afraid ryuu sama. Must be the doing of mankind. I mentally thanked him then hurried to catch up with the rest of my dumb ass team.

~

"Oy kaka-" he slapped a hand over my nose and mouth then proofed both of us out just as some chuunin attacked.

"KAKASHI, RYUU!" They yelled out in horror as "we" were cut into shredded pieces of flesh and bones.

They had chains, there were two of them, and they looked like they came from the, "the demon brothers.." I whispered to no one in particular. However, it seemed that Kakashi had heard.

"What?" He said against the bushes.

"The demon brothers. I had a lot of spare time traveling around. I also stole a bingo book." My lips pressed into a thin line.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Yea. Five years of traveling and you learn some stuff. I know quite a lot about you as well mister copy cat ninja." I smirked with closed eyes.

He chuckled quietly, "is that all?"

I smirked even wider, "of course not. There's a lot more I'm afraid. A lot. Like, that you're a former anbu, you were on team seven, and your sensei was minato, the fourth hokage. And some other stuff I think you'd rather I not say." He suddenly turned stern, "but chill. My lips are sealed." I dragged my fingers across my lips like a zipper while his expression loosened.

I twisted my attention back to the fight that was going down. One of the demon brothers headed toward Naruto, my legs automatically jumped up and my arms reached out as if I could push him away, but Kakashi snaked his hands around my waist and pulled me back down onto the sloppy mud like grass. I opened my mouth about to yell at him however he placed a finger on his mouth. Signaling me to be quiet and watch.

"But, they have batrachotoxin poisons (its real) injected and coated on all of their weapons, including their claws." I stared at him with wide eyes, "one scratch can mean death. And Naruto..." I decided not to say more for he probably already noticed 

He looked at me, "don't worry. We'll be out soon enough-"

"SOON ENOUGH, is not fast enough to save a life! That poison had an effect of immediate death as soon as it touches the human circulation!" I explained panicking.

"I know ryuu. I know but he'll be fine. I'm sure you know what he is by now, so don't fret. He'll be alright." He assured me. "And ryuu, how do you know so much about these two? Surely the bingo book doesn't have so much as what type of poison they carry."

I looked away with a sheepish smile, "well. I encountered them a couple years back. I thought I killed them but I suppose not. And as for the poison, I may have taken some of their weapons to analyze. Of course, then with careful inspection, i came to my conclusion of what type of poison it was and how to cure it. Or rather, slow down the effects then attempt to cure them without dasus powers. I've only tried that on animals and only managed to save one young adult slug who was already skilled in medical ninjutsu and had a rock hard immune system, so I'm almost a hundred percent sure that humans will die. However, I'm not so sure about a jinchuuriki."

"Hm." He commented on my knowledge of the topic with the typical uchiha vocabulary range. "Oh, look. Our time to shine has finally come up, you take one and I'll take the other." Kakashi commanded as we both jumped out.

I grabbed both by the collar and slammed them into a nearby tree, then tied him with his own weapon. "So, I thought I got rid of you two. I suppose not." The older ones eyes widened in terror as he just processed what I had said. The once feared by all nations brothers were then trembling under my gaze. "And sorry Bakashi.  I know you were supposed to take one, but I couldn't resist." I turned back to the shaking "demons", "after all, they're my prey." My face split into a crazed smile as they nearly pass out.

"That's enough ryuu. We need them alive so we can interrogate them." Bakashi said from the back.

"No need to. I already know." I dropped the smile and spun on my heel to meet my teams eyes, specifically, Tazunas whom was sweating bullets. "Tazuna, master bridge builder. Wanted to be escorted home because there were ninjas like those two pathetic things hunting him down that are being paid my Gato. Who you ask? Some creepy short old pedophile looking man who is about to get his business ruined by someone's bridge. So, in conclusion, tazuna is a lying bastard that let genins escort him on a A or B ranked mission instead of what he paid for which was C ranked." I paused because I had a feeling I forgot something, "OH, WHISKERS. GET YOUR CAT ASS OVER HERE! Those bitches have poison on their weapons, one drop of it can kill an elephant almost instantly! So-"

"You're in luck. We changed our methods to a different venom instead of the one we fought you with. It's less lethal, but deadly nonetheless." The younger one noted then was head butted in the forehead by his brother. "Ow..."

"Oh. Well then in that case. What poison is it now?"

"Strychnine. Slow and painful instead of the fast and painless." The older one grumbled out after seeing no point in lying.

"Strychnine. Huh. Well then, Naruto you've really missed a bullet there. If we can get that out of your system before two or three hours you should be fine. If you feel and pain in any muscles tell me right away because that means the poison might be eating away your life faster then normal. I'll be able to get the-" then stupid stupid stupid whiskers just had to become all high and mighty by stabbing himself right in the hand. Oh well, that means less work for me.

After the whole sappy moment, "you know whiskers. That was very moving and all but if you lose any more blood then you already have, you'll die within ten minutes." I felt like i had to throw that in there. That's when he started panicking and freaking out. I decided to just leave him be while I went to take care of the brothers. "You two be happy I felt merciful today. I never want to see you two again, and within a couple months, I wish that your names are erased from the bingo book. Alright? Do something good for once, or if you love killing so much, be a bounty hunter or something." I untangled the chains as they got up with thankful smiles, "now go and never look back. Forget about gato." They nodded then bolted away into the woods.

"HEY!" Kakashi yelled from the group. I dismissed his input on my decision and made my way back to my team.

HOLAAAAAAAA. AN EARLY UPDAAAAATE! Consider it my Christmas present to y'all. How was it? Good, bad, so so? I literally had to search up "deadly poisons" on google. Anyway, vote, comment, and follow mwa for moreeeee! Cya
