Sasuke stared in disbelief. He'd made steady progress on climbing the tree. He'd be able to finish before Naruto even managed to go half way, but the blond idiot managed to somehow have huge jumps in skill from nowhere. Naruto would stall for hours at the same height and then suddenly go a full two or three meters higher. Then one night, after Orochitama stopped coming around and the client's grandson acted like a little asshole, Naruto stormed out of the house and stayed gone for the whole night. Then…-

Mei's narrowed eyes lingered on me with a suspicious gaze for a heart stopping moment. My mind raced, trying to figure out how exactly I managed to do enough that Mei herself had shown up. It could be that Zabuza somehow tipped her off, which was bad news for my whole 'Recruit Zabuza' thing that I had going on. Still I quaked appropriately under her gaze and didn't break character. I was a professional. Her glare slid from me to Gato. "I see that you are finding time to beat helpless women, but can't…

I just finished being a distraction to Naruto and Sasuke's training when I met again with my two underlings to discuss the unfolding problem we were having. "I'm pretty sure Gato doesn't have a second in command." Tayuya said with a shake of her head. "He seems to assign people to be in charge of specific parts of the business but no one could be called his second in command. The midget doesn't trust anyone enough to put them in second in command." I heaved a sigh. I was beginning to feel that way too.…

Gato was having a really shitty day. First off, every time he went to have a meal, the cooks reported that someone stole his food right from the kitchen. That led to him now needing to find some replacement cooks. It probably wasn't the last one's fault it happened but failure just couldn't be allowed. Gato also hadn't been able to sleep all night. Ever time he was about to fall asleep a harsh shrill, like flute played off key, screeched so loudly it had him jumping out of his skin. After he had decided…

"I'm definitely getting higher up the tree than you, ttebayo." "You wish. I still have a solid meter on you." The smug bastard responded, trying to hide the fact that he was short of breath. "Are not. I got to the fourth branch up. You were only on the third." Naruto argued back. "On a different tree. Not all trees grow branches in the same way. That's not how trees work dumbass." That was probably true, but there's no way Naruto would admit to that. Sasuke had a big enough head that he didn't need…

Kabuto prided himself on his mental fortitude. He'd been through things that would collapse the minds of lesser men. His mind was a precision machine designed to deal with stress and maintain an unfailing logical outlook. His very logical mind proposed that just killing all the scientists was probably the most efficient way of dealing with his current stressors. "I must have just misunderstood you. Your current project is is one designed to research sound-waves effects on solid objects. Correct?" Kabuto…

I knew going in that I would say something to hint at Obito. Before I had even approached Tazuna's house I wanted to get him thinking in that direction. However, when the words left my mouth, when I said that there were two students of the Yondaime Hokage still alive, I couldn't say the rest. Kakashi's face, even mostly covered, flashed through so many emotions. Guilt, rage, sadness. All of them were so powerful on his face I immediately knew that I couldn't turn around and say that same person was also…

Kakashi sounded vaguely like someone had just punctured a bagpipe. Which made it fairly clear to me that he had apparently remembered the feel of Orochimaru's aura chakra. Well not exactly. One of Oto's sensors had informed me, after much hours of study, my chakra seemed to have a lot more Yin energy in it. The presence of more of the "female" energy did not seem suspicious to anyone that knew. At least no more suspicious than everything else I was doing. "So glad you could make it!" Tsunami said as she…

By the standards of people that weren't ninjas Gato had an iron clad security. The men were all alert and mindful of their surroundings. They had overlapping lines of sight. They even had regular checkpoints and ID cards. It was very impressive for a civilian outfit. Most chunin probably wouldn't be able to get in without raising alarm. Though the difference between a chunin and myself was the difference between a puddle and the ocean. All the preparation and defenses that Gato had made delayed me for…

Tayuya didn't really see what the big deal was. "But how can we still be sure it's still Orochimaru-sama? He-" Kidomaru hesitated, "She is acting completely different. Minimizing casualties. Most research is now about things like medicines and jutsu that anyone can use. It's completely different from what was being done before." "Right. And someone that just so happens to know all of Orochimaru's pass codes, techniques, and also just so happens to have a snake contract and the Kusanagi. Get real…
