Koukon/Haruka:

 

"C'mon brother, hurry up! We're going to get our teams assigned today!" Haruka shouted towards her older brother, jumping around with excitement. As she said, today was their big day. She hadn't been happier in her whole life. Her brother, however, was taking his time to walk over to the ninja academy.

 

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." Koukon assured his younger sister. The day before had been a long, tiring day, and he didn't quite have his sister's energy.

 

"So, do you think we'll end up on the same team? That would be so cool if the two Yougan siblings could work together!" She exclaimed.

 

"Yeah, sure, I guess it's possible..." Koukon muttered. He had no clue how his sister managed to graduate in the same year he did, given how lazy she'd been when it came to the academy. He felt kind of embarrassed that the two graduated in the same year also, since he was a year older. Was he behind, or was she ahead? Either way, it made him feel pathetic. The two continued on their way to the academy, and eventually made it to the classroom where they'd be given their assignments.

 

"Wow, it's packed in here..." Koukon was surprised to see so many people in the classroom at once. The students, their new teachers, even the Hoakge, Naruto, and his wife, Hinata, were there to congratulate the newly graduated students. Their teacher, Sakura, walked up to the front of the classroom and cleared her throat.

 

"Welcome everyone! Welcome to this year's graduation ceremony!" She greeted the group. No reply, the students were too busy talking to each other. Sakura was clearly annoyed by this. "Hey, everyone, shut up and look up here! Aren't you at all excited to graduate!?" She shouted. The Hokage looked a little scared. Koukon remembered that Naruto and Sakura were once on a team together, he wondered if he had to deal with her short temper at all back then. Sakura straightened up when the room went silent. "Once again, welcome to this year's graduation ceremony! Today, we'll be announcing the new teams, so please, listen for your name!" She announced to the crowd, her mood completely changing from the way it was before.

 

Kage:

 

The leader of the new Akatsuki looked down at the rest of his group, marveling at this collection of S rank criminals he'd amassed. It won't be too long before I've reached my ultimate goal... He smiled to himself. Not that anyone else could notice, his face was always hidden. He'd just finished a long meeting, and was pleased to be able to know he had followers. "You are all dismissed." He announced to the group. He then approached Rinne Tensei. "Rinne Tensei. I'm entrusting you with a very important mission..." He told Rinne. Rinne had always been one of his favorite members, due to his power. If there was anyone in the organization he'd entrust with such a mission, it was him.

(.... 'Kay, changing her age again.)

 

Zalor disappeared again, further away from them. She's seen it many of times. Zalor smirked.

 

"Your really pissin' me off Uzumaki." Zalor said. It was obviously a lie, at least for Zalor it was.

( Alright then.)

Sasuke/Naruto

 

Naruto had the same exact result as Sasuke, his Rasengan dissipating. "What the heck is wrong with you, anyway? You lost once, why don't you just stay away!?" He glared at the woman. He created two Shadow Clones this time, both manipulating chakra into his palm. Sasuke looked at Naruto.

 

"Heh, you really think that'll work again?" He asked Naruto. He tossed a kunai at the assassin, hoping to divert her attention away from Naruto so that he'd be able to get a clear shot on her.

Zalor disappeared again and reappeared.

 

"Fighting is a stupid attempt. Just stop." Zalor said, her patience going away.

Sasuke/Naruto

 

Sasuke laughed. "I'll figure you out soon enough. You can't trick the Sharingan! Only a fool would try to do that..." He said, taunting the girl. Naruto held his hand in front of Sasuke to stop him.

 

"What is it that you want, and who sent you here?" Naruto asked her. He understood that fighting her was pointless if this would keep up. As long as he could learn her goal, he'd be fine.

Zalor crossed her arms and smirked.

 

"Now who said I would tell you who I'm working for. My part of the plan is already done for now." Zalor said and formed a handsign. "Earth Style: Mud Wall Protection Jutsu!"

 

Rock came out of the roof, forming a wall, and separated Zalor from Naruto and Sasuke, and she disappeared while she was behind it.

Ryu was getting bored. He decided to come out of the shadows and join in on the fun.

 

After drawing a small transmutation circle on the ground, he left and joined Naruto and Sasuke.

 

"Is she attacking our village?" Ryu asked in the best clueless genin voice he could possibly muster.

Sasuke/Naruto

 

Naruto's clones finished off a Rasengan, allowing Naruto to break the wall down. "Rasengan!" He shouted as he plowed through the mud wall, putting a decently sized hole in it. When he saw that Zalor wasn't behind it, he sighed. "A plan... We'll need to have the ANBU investigate this plan of hers." He said, then turned to the genin that had joined them. "Oh... Ryu, right? We don't know what she's doing... But she's gone, now." He answered the boy's question.

 

"You should probably head back to your home, Ryu." Sasuke warned him. "For all we know, she might still be in the village walls... We'll have to send a few jonin around to confirm if there's still a threat or not." He told Naruto. Naruto nodded, and Hinata and Sakura joined the group.

 

"Naruto, where did that woman go?" Hinata asked the Hokage. "We've told everyone to go inside, the village should be safe now..." She told him.

 

"Hinata, Sakura, round up a team of jonin to inspect the village and make sure she isn't hiding within the walls." Naruto ordered. "She escaped, we don't know where she is though..."

Zalor appeared back at the hideout and walked in and put her hands behind her head.

 

"Hmm. Now that I've caused a little riot, the leader probably won't be happy." She muttered.

Ryu shuttered at the sight of Hinata, a Byakugan user. She would only blow his cover. She had to die. But not now. Ryu quickly ran away from the group and hid himself as he slowly crept towards his house.

 

Back at his house, he quickly took up a notebook of his. It was filled with different kinds of equations and types of transmutation circles he came up with. "Transmutation Art of Freezing, That might be a little hard to come up with seeing that almost everyone here uses fire. Maybe I should make an art of explosions. That would consume too much chakra though," Ryu said as he tried to clear his mind.

Kage

 

Kage approached Zalor. "Zalor Senju... Something tells me your reconnaissance did not go well. What happened?" He asked Zalor, keeping calm. If suspicion had been raised as to the identity of the new Akatsuki, there could be issues. This would be even more troublesome since they needed to capture the Nine Tails jinchuriki alive for his plans... 

(Zalor is basically Itachi. Causes problems for the Akatsuki.)

 

"Just some small problems." Zalor said simply. "It turns out there are new genins in the leaf."

(Yay Itachi)

Kage

 

Kage sighed. "New genin? Is this all that you've managed to learn? Hm... This could be interesting, of course. Who knows, some of them could prove to be useful at some point..." He said. "What of the jinchuriki? Did you find him there?" He asked Zalor.

 

Koukon/Haruka

 

After a few hours of waiting, the siblings heard a knock on their door. "It's me, Hinata!" A familiar voice said from behind the door. The two opened it, letting her in. "You two can come out now, it's safe outside." She told them.

 

"What happened in the first place?" Koukon asked Hinata, knowing that she would probably know quite a bit about the situation, especially if she's the one who gave them the clear to leave their house.

 

"We're not sure. It seems as though it was a rogue ninja, we're still investigating, though." She told the two. She wasn't going to tell them that this ninja was after Naruto, or that she had escaped. That would cause too much panic. She left to go tell the others.

 

Hinata

 

Hinata knocked on the door of Ryu Kekkei. "Ryu, it's safe to come outside now. The state of emergency has passed." She told him, then returned back to the Hokage's Mansion. She'd told everyone it was safe, and the Hokage wanted to discuss what had happened.

 

"Ah, there's Hinata. Guess we're all here, then..." Naruto said, looking around at the collection of jonin that Hinata had gathered. "It's been a while since we've all gathered together, hasn't it?" He asked, looking around. He'd ordered his past classmates for a mission. These were the people he'd trusted most, after all. "Now then, I'm sure you're all aware that an assassin was sent after me earlier today. We have no clue why she was here, but we've learned that she's the same assassin that attempted to murder me all those years ago." He told the rest. "Now then, we'll need to investigate." He turned to two of his past classmates. "Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka." He addressed the two, who both nodded. "You two will both go with Hinata to try and see if you can track this girl, or any other potential cohorts of her. As for the rest of you, we'll need to strategize our next move in this situation. We don't know if they're going to go for the other villages, either." He said.

 

"Well, we could send messengers to other villages, right?" Everyone in the room turned to the speaker, Shikamaru Nara. He had always been known as the brains of the group, so plans coming from him weren't a surprise. "Maybe a team of genin to the Sand, since it's closer. I doubt any criminals would go out of their way to target a few genin on what seems to be a usual delivery mission, anyway. We could disguise it as one." He suggested. "As for the other villages, send either chunin or jonin to alert them."

 

Naruto nodded. "Yes, we'll do that. In fact, I think I know the team of genin that would be able to do that..." He said. "Sakura, go find Cobias' team, and tell them to come here. We'll send them to the Sand." He ordered Sakura, who nodded and left.

Zalor nodded.

 

"Yes. But he was with Sasuke Uchiha. And it caused unnecessary attention." Zalor said calmly. "The Uchiha forced me to use my power which should've been kept hidden."

(Zalor is basically another Itachi. I'll just keep it at that. No other spoilers for my plans on this rp.)

Ryu heard Hinata's voice and didn't reply. She couldn't know he was here. He just went back to his studies.

 

"Elemental Transmutation huh? Looks like the Mokutensei held back on me a little," He said as he laid back on his bed. He had taken all the books from the Mokutensei Clan and hid the rare ones away on a distant Transmutation Circle. He needed to know a little bit more about Transmutation before he could take on an S-Ranked ninja with ease.

Kage

 

Kage shook his head. "Sasuke Uchiha... We should have known that he'd be with the jinchuriki. Well, it shouldn't be long before we're ready to attack. When that time comes, we'll be prepared to show them our true strength..." He said. "Now then... There are probably messengers going around to the other villages. Zalor, I would like you to intercept any possible messengers going to the Sand village, and destroy all evidence. I'll send other members to the other villages as well. We can at least delay the news of our organization, and by the time the other villages learn, it will be too late." He told Zalor.

 

Sakura

 

Sakura wandered the village, looking for the genin of Cobias' team. After a while, she ran into Koukon and Haruka. "You two, come meet me at the Hokage's Mansion. We have an important mission for you." She told the two, then took off on her way to find Ryu.

 

"You hear that brother? We get a mission already! And it's a big one, too!" Haruka exclaimed, excited to know that they were being entrusted with such a mission.

 

"Yeah... I hope it's nothing too advanced though..." Koukon muttered. He didn't want to die on his first mission, that would be embarrassing. The two took off to the Hokage's Mansion.

 

Sakura found Ryu's house, and knocked on the door. "Ryu, are you there? I need to speak with you, the Hokage wants to see you." She told him, waiting at his door.

Zalor nodded and put the hood of her cloak on and took out an old anbu mask. She put it on.

 

"Will do." She said and disappeared.

Ryu closed his small notebook and put it in his back pocket. "Yes I'm here. I'll be on my way," Ryu said as he came out his house and walked on to the Hokage's mansion.

 

Going to the Hokage's room, he saw Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Koukon, and Haruka. Ryu gulped as he saw Hinata and prayed that she would not use he Byakugan on him. "Is there a mission for us?" Ryu asked pushing the notebook further in his back pocket so it couldn't be seen.

Koukon/Haruka

 

"Yes, I have a mission for the three of you." Naruto told them. "Sakura's going to inform your squad leader right now."

 

"So, what is the mission?" Koukon asked the Hokage.

 

"It's a delivery mission to the Sand." Naruto told the three, handing Haruka a package. "I need you three to take this to the Kazekage, Gaara." He informed them. "Whatever you do, make sure that you don't lose this package, and do not open it." He warned the genin. "You three will meet your team leader by the village gates. Once he arrives, you can all leave for the Sand village." Naruto told them. He was hoping that they wouldn't get suspicious, but since they were genin, they probably wouldn't try to disobey his orders. "Now then, good luck!" He said, dismissing the three.

 

Sakura

 

Sakura found the house of Cobias Cobalt after a short walk through the village. She knocked on his door. "Hello? Are you in there?" She asked him. "It's me, Sakura."

Zalor started heading for the route to the sand village. It was easy to get there, and once she was there, she jumped up into a tree and sat in the darkness.

 

"Hm.. This should be easy." Zalor muttered.

Ryu laughed a little. "Then why entrust such an important item to three curious genin who just got promoted? The Jounin are out so you should have Chuunin to do the job. Why us?" Ryu asked showing that his intellect was as sharp as Shikamaru's.

Koukon/Haruka

 

Koukon looked at Ryu. Did this kid really just say that...? He thought to himself. This could lead to trouble...

 

"Heh, well, you're a smart one, aren't you?" Naruto said, laughing. "This mission is still capable of being completed by a few genin. Any delivery is important, no matter what it is. I trust you three with it. Besides, you'll be accompanied by a jonin, so you'll be fine!" He assured the group. "Now then, any more questions?"

Meanwhile, sitting ontop of a cliff with only just a single tree with just one apple on it nearby was seen Rinne Tensei, of whom says to himself "My eyes see all and they tell........of a "Great Disaster" that is yet to happen...." said Rinne before he then decided to stand up whilst still looking out towards the scenery in front of him.

Zalor took out a flute and lifted up her mask some and started playing a song. (Sasuke's flute no jutsu)

Ryu saw that arguing with Naruto would be pointless. He heard stories of his youth and his idiocy. Ryu nodded in agreement and opened the door. "Hey Naruto, can you hold onto this while I'm gone? I've always wanted to give it to you," Ryu said as he turned around and put a note with a transmutation circle on it on the Hokage's desk. "I just felt like drawing and decided to draw something that you'd like," Ryu said as he smiled. With that, he opened the door once again and waited for Koukon and Haruka to leave.

Koukon/Haruka

 

Naruto looked at the note. "Oh, alright! Thank you, Ryu!" Naruto grinned at the boy. "Well then, good luck, you three!" He said. Koukon and Haruka followed Ryu outside. 

 

"Never knew you were an artist, Ryu! What else do you draw?" Haruka asked him.

 

Koukon sighed. "You know Ryu, that was a bold move to make, questioning the Hokage like that. You're lucky that you got away with it." He told Ryu.

 

"Come on brother, you don't have to be so mean! He's our teammate now, right? Arguing isn't going to help anything!" Haruka said to her brother.
