A new face, and an old ambition((OPEN))

The sky was a beautiful mottle of oranges, pinks, and reds as the sun set behind Haku. She was approaching the west side of the great Konohagakure no Sato walls, her gait powerful and unchanging. She didn't run, she walked, slowly yet surely toward the walls. The gait wasn't one of someone anxious or unsure of what they were about to do, but someone who was sure that the outcome would be dull, making it something they wanted to take as much time getting to as possible. As she walked slowly toward the gate, she examined her surroundings with an uninterested yet keen gaze. Her eyes passed over the rough brown bark of the trees lining either side of the dirt road she followed, the roots jutting up from their home beneath the surface; ready to trip anyone that wasn't wary. She examined the dark, folded blades of grass that surrounded the trees and seemed to have spread out over the road in small clumps. It seemed that the forests and path were used often, as the grass all seemed crushed beneath the repetitive weight of hundreds of never-ending people stepping upon them. Again her gaze shifted, this time to the beautiful flowers that lived alone on the edges of the dirt path. They grew alone, each flower spread out quite a bit from its fellow plants. The petals of the flowers were a bleached white, though the soft pink light of the sunset gave them a rosy tint. Though the path seemed well-worn and frequented often, there was no one to disturb Haku that evening. It was a lucky break for her, seeing as how she would have to kill anyone that saw her approaching.

Today Haku wore Akatsuki robes over her uniform, as she was on official business. Lying on top of her head, shadowing over her beautiful face, was a straw hat. The shadows its cast were deep, almost palpable, hiding her features completely from the naked eye. Her Akatsuki cloak was similar to every other Akatsuki's. It was a length of black cloth that covered her from shoulders to toe, a high collar masking her neck and chin. The inner lining of the cloak was red, which showed through along the edge that ran down the left of her chest, where it had been buttoned shut to keep it from opening up on her. Beneath the cloak was where the real originality began. She was wearing a one-sleeved kimono, the left arm covered by the massive length of cloth. The kimono itself was white, embroidered with golden thread in the form of lotus patterns. The pants that she wore under the kimono were plain and black, nothing all that special. Hidden in the folds of this kimono, however, was the scroll that saved her in every battle she fought. The scroll held a range of some of the most deadly weapons in the world, at least that was what they became in her capable hands. The wooden sandals that she wore made a clacking sound as she hit cobblestone, stepping off of the dirt path and onto a real road that ran along the borders of the village. She looked up to the massive wooden gate and sighed. Throwing her hat off and allowing it to land on the cobblestone road, she leaped high into the air. Seeming to disappear for an instant, she would reappear standing vertically, half-way up the wall. Running at a speed that turned her into a blur of black and red, she cleared the rest of the distance in no time. When she reached the top of the wall she would crouch upon the wall, perching there like a bird as she scanned the Village before her. It wouldn't be long before guards came to kill her.

ahh,the day was bright and nice.What could be so nice out today.You could see a little boy running around playing.Birds are singing,and the sun is burning the crap out of everyone.But then again,if you look again.You would see anbu black ops around the bulidings like something bad was about to happen.There is a man walking towards the village,what was the mans objective.He was wearing a black outfit.And his eyes shined yellow.He made his way to the leaf village gate.He was very quiet.He made no sounds.Like he was extremely dead.


What he could have done was moved in quick using his Crystals and impaling the village getting it over with.Or he could have just stnuck in or something of the sorts.But yeah instead he keep walking towards the village like it was nothing at all to him.He made no sudden movements.He did not want to alarm anyone or anything.The guards did not notice him yet due to his silence.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PRICK" An angry Raikage yelled scaring the ANBU. Infront of him a man with a wallet was running for his life, whilst the Raikage, Kurokon Shikyo, was walking yet keeping up with him. He looked back once more and let out a sigh, since he hadnt seen him. Then he turned back around and nearly had a heart attack. The raikage was right infront of him, with a strange look on his face, not anger, but sadism.

Five minutes later Kurokon came out of a dark alley and dusted himself off. What he had done to the poor man was too graphic to detail. The best way to put is was there wasnt enough left of him to feed mice. Kurokon Walked towards the gate and then saw someone in an Akatsuki uniform. He waved to them smiling.

Again, her eyes would scan the area. The sky was becoming darker and darker as time passed, and still no guard passed her. It seemed they were stretched a bit thin at the time, or just overconfident that they were not about to be attacked. Her gaze landed on the buildings throughout the village, and a sudden realization washed over her. It wasn't that they were overconfident, but the exact opposite. All along the roofs of various buildings, especially the Hokage's Building were they flocked together like crows, were the slim figures of the mysterious ANBU Black Ops. Her eyes scanned over the figures she could see once again as her mind worked through a swift calculation. Adding the unknown number of ANBU hiding in shadows and on the other sides of the buildings, possibly even within the buildings, there were probably several dozen of them. Even she wasn't confident she could kill them all without getting injured, and today was not a day to earn a new scar.

She was out on a reconnaissance mission to find out if the village had at least one Bijuu, not a killing or terrorism mission. She scanned the streets of the village, taking note of the grid-like pattern the homes and business formed, their colourful wooden roofs becoming slowly less visible as dusk approached. Her crouched figure was slowly sinking lower and lower as she prepared to spring forward, hitting shadows and beginning her mission. Then, suddenly, someone noticed her. The man looked up to her, waving as he smiled at her. Being a criminal, she knew all about the leaders of her enemies, and that was the Raikage. Cursing to herself, she leaped from the perch she had made herself. Suddenly, Haku disappeared into the shadows of an alleyway. When she reappeared from behind the corner of a building, she cleared menacingly at the Raikage without a word.

As he got close her could see taller buildings.Raigen stopped walking for some reason.All you could see was his sleves dancing with the wind.It seems that I have few chooses,either....run in attacking,as myself or a transformation.Or I could be a transformation and sneak in.I'll run in Raigen said very deep into his thoughts.He was a very well thought out man.He made no sounds as handseals are preformed.He transformed into another man.The figure ran through to the gates.The guards made a attepted to stop the man.But some how he jumped and in a flash he was out of sight.The guards called in back up to search for the intruder.

Shortly after Raigen was in a dark alley,he retransformed back into his self.He closed his eyes for a moment.He slowly opened them to see a building wall infront of him.He making quick steps to it leaping off the hard ground,placing his feet on the wall bouncing off it preforming about 2 back flips,Turning and landing on another wall but he begans running up it.Shortly he gets to the edge and jumps off it making it to another buliding.He stood there looking up at the moon.

"you must be new in akatsuki right?" He smiled at her, warmly, obviously not going to fight yet. "that explains why madara didnt tell me about you... well I'm Kurokon Shikyo... whats your name?" He said in his deep, yet child like voice.

He glanced into her eyes and one thought came to mind she doesnt trust me so she doesnt know about me yet..... lets hope she can learn good.... probably doesnt even know about madara either...

Haku shook her head, shifting her bangs so that they would cover left eye instead of her right. Suddenly, the slightly darker glass eye that was her right began to start working. It was working perfectly fine, without any hint as to what it was doing. The chakra connected easily and with perfection, and soon she was seeing through it even better than she could through her left eye. This man.. I don't trust him at all... However, he seems friendly, and he knows that I'm new, so there may be something to gain from letting him live a while.. She thought to herself cautiously. Though she thought of killing him with arrogance, she knew that it would be a losing battle for her. Actually... She thought, rethinking the whole thing. If she were to be caught in discussion with him he would have to fight her, if he wanted to keep face with the Leaf on a political level, and then he'd have backup. If she killed him quietly, she could continue her mission and get rid of a leader. Another knick on her blade would provide some entertainment and a good story later on as well.

Pondering this, she smiled as she walked closer to the man. Her finger brushed the wall of the house right next to her and she neared him, her hair covering the real eye and her smile hiding her intentions. When she stopped she traced her finger on the wooden wall of the building. Suddenly, her signature mark appeared within the wall, her fingertip glowing slightly. She had marked the terrain, this was where her battle would begin. Smiling sweetly, she reached into the folds of the cloak, and then further into the folds of her kimono. As she drew her hand back out, smoke followed. When the smoke cleared it revealed the shaft of a spear. She produced the weapon, twirling it within her fingers as she took a few steps closer. Even with the menacing weapon in hand she smiled sweetly at him, as if she weren't about to run him through with a metallic triangle attached to a length of wood. The twirling stopped, and so did she.

Her leg muscles constricted, building up static energy in preparation for the movement that would soon occur. Suddenly, she was a blur of black and red, heading straight toward the Raikage. Her spear came up at his chest in a crescent movement, and arc of steel that could cut through flesh, muscles, and bones easily. She had torn bigger men to shreds with that spear, he would be no different.

As he stood there looking at the moon a flashback appears in his head.

"MOVE DAMN IT MOVE" Screamed a man in the hidden Rain village.Raigen stood there being very quiet.The man ran at Raigen"I'll kill you"screamed at Raigen.Raigen being only a gennin at the time was not going to accept dieing then.A spark of lightning flashed and Raigens right fist was impaled inside the mans stomatch.The man was in extreme pain.Raigen pushing his body further upper cuting the man sending him into the air

"aww the girl wants to fight eh?" He smirked as vanished right as the blade came towards him. He then appeared in a red flash behind her and grabbed the back of it holding it steady "little girls should play with such big weapons" He whispered to her before jumping ontop of the building behind them.

nope... she doesnt know anything about me... oh well this should be fun... He pulled out his blade, hokaru and swung it like he would a chain. shes obviously a weapons specialist... well then... lets give her something she will love Suddenly his shoulders and his free arm caught on fire, but the fire didnt effect his clothes or his skin.

Frustration washed over her as he disappeared, dodging her attack. He appeared behind her and spoke, that added to his earlier comment which had a hint of sexism nearly through her over the edge. His arrogance, and cognitive dissidence for her gender was infuriating. However, she could keep her emotions under control under the most extreme circumstances, there was no way an ignorant, young, little kage would be the one to change that. Her crimson hair swept through the air as she turned on her heel and glared up at her opponent. The cocky boy had produced a sword, so typical. Every boy wanted to be a swordsman these days, it was more common to see a ninja swinging about a sword blindly than it was to see an artfully placed dagger in the back of someone, like a true assassination should be done. As for Haku, she had never prided herself as a ninja, she was simply working with shinobi, and occasionally used their techniques to improve her own samurai-esque fighting style. Her glass eye scanned the man's blade, as it spun wildly in his hands.

Suddenly his other arm combusted, the flames licking at the air around him and yet somehow not affecting his clothes, and presumably not his skin either since he didn't react at all. Due to these two factors, she figured it had been done on purpose. She stared up at the man's spiky red hair, choosing to not look at the man's flames to avoid her vision being affected by the intense light that flames generally produced. Suddenly, she got and idea. The spear would disappear quickly, and with a quick hand sign a new weapon would appear from what seemed to be nowhere. It fell from her robes, embedding itself in the stone of the road where she stood, ringing a bit as it vibrated due to the force of impact. She stepped back, the folds of her robes parting as they were pulled against the shaft of the trident. When it was revealed, she picked it up and began to spin it. Suddenly, a trail of water began to sprinkle from the head of the trident. She brought the trident back, and then stabbed at the air directly in front of her.

A crystal clear glob of liquid suddenly appeared, spiralling toward her opponent. The glob of water would explode on impact with him or the building, creating a massive wave of water to wash over the area. If he was going to play with fire, she would play with water. After all, splashing about in the water was far less dangerous than playing with fire; traditionally speaking anyway. She smiled at this thought, it was a cute joke that only she would find humorous, and so she didn't speak it aloud, but it had amused her for a second. It seemed her opponent wasn't one to attack head on, a depressing thought. She was all-too-willing to get into a head-to-head, close-combat, heated clash of steel.

Kurokon's eyes turned to his eternal mangekyou stage. He opened his mouth and a black bolt of lightning came right out aiming at the ball of water and her in hte process. While she thought he was arrogant and sexist she was dead wrong, he had acted arrogant for a reason, to get his oponents guard down. However what she didnt know is that he had a wife and veiwed nearly everyone equal. He sighed "it isnt smart to attack the student of the founder of akatsuki.... hmm alot of 'of's in the sentence" He said intelligently

and begin doing handseals releasing chakra into the air.And clouds begin to cry rain from them.

As she stood there, always on guard, watching her attack progress, she noticed something odd. Within the constantly shifting lens that was the moving body of water, she saw a glimpse of something. It wasn't darkness, it was too bright for that, but it was black as not. It was almost as if it were black light, or more likely black lightning. Haku's eyebrows knitted together as she watched her attack turn to a veil of steam. She used this as her method of escape. The intense heat from the lightning not only super-heated her water, but also seemed to increase the temperature of the air. It was suddenly much more humid and warm within the area as the lightning struck the ground, sending cobblestone and dirt up into the air in an explosion of smoke and dust. She was sure that would alert someone, but they were in a remote part of the village so there was a chance that no one would notice.

Her breathe became heavier, the sticky sweat sliding down her skin. The steam had dissolved into the air, increasing the humidity of the air a bit and causing less sweat to evaporate. In this humidity fighting with a cloak over a kimono was suicide. When the screen of dirt and steam cleared Haku would appear once again, standing to the right of the scar within the ground that was the result of his attack. She stood there, a Trident in one hand and a small, emerald-colored, scroll in the other. Laying carelessly upon the ground was the mottled pile of black, red, white, and green fabric. It lay there, lifeless and abandoned, only getting in the way. Haku was now in her black pants and nearly nothing else. Sitting right next to the pile were her wooden sandals, and the stockings she wore with them. It seemed in her haste she had torn the stockings from her body, causing them to rip and become useless. Wrapped around her chest were bandages; presumably they had always been there. Upon her feet were nothing, she was barefoot and unarmored.

Suddenly, she tucked the scroll into the bandages that covered her bust, and took up and offensive stance with the trident. She used her trident weapon in one of two ways. The first was a dance-like style which consisted of a lot of water jets and fancy movements. The second was a gladiator style with water substituting the net. She would distract and disorient her opponent with bursts of water, and then suddenly run them through the largest spike that stuck out between the two shorter spikes. However, she had no time to debate about which style she would use on him. She had to decide, and decide quickly.

With a firm nod of her head it was decided, she would fight him gladiator style. However, combat was meant to be played on every level, and she knew this completely and fully. She would need to do more than disorient him with magical orbs of liquid and fancy movements. She would need to attack his mind and emotions in order to distract him as much as possible. That would come into play later on, though, as she wasn't quite sure what the Raikage could do or how he reacted to taunting quite yet.

"I don't care if you were taught by the Kyuubi itself, you aren't going to walk away from this. That technique you just used, its unfamiliar to me, but its power levels seemed quite high. It must have been a really high ranked technique, awful draining most likely. How many more can you pull out? Three? They won't last you." She called out to him, not caring for any responses. What she said was only really relevant to her own thought process, what she asked was rhetorical. However, it seemed that a nuisance would appear and spoil the fun of her battle. She hoped he wouldn't intervene or pull her out too quickly, she wanted this man dead and run through by her spear, because of her efforts alone. "No, I haven't. I found a little lightning bug instead." She called over her shoulder to the man that was standing somewhere behind her.

"hold on... why are you attacking me anyway?" He asked "I'm on your side.... didnt you hear me?" He sighed knowing no one else heard him other than her. He had always been working for madara, the founder and leader of akatsuki. He became raikage under his orders, he pretty much did EVERYTHING under madara's orders.

He smirked "oh and if your wondering how many more of those I can do.... I'd say... hm... never actually tested my chakra capaicty... most I've done without getting winded is... five" He said recalling him testing with his eternal mangekyou a month ago, and noting how good he was with it already. He never relied on it though, he actually taught himself to fight blind to keep from relying on it too much.

He could feel more chakra signals like they were calling him.He was still looking towards the moon.He did not want to bother anyone he just wanted to do somehting in the hidden leaf village.He turned his body to the side.As the rain poured on him and everyone in the hidden leaf village.He then begin sprinting on the buliding that he was currently standing on.He did not know what was going on.He just wanted to know what was truely going on.

he knew that the hidden leaf never was fightfull like this.He didn't know anyone's chakra signal.All he knew was as he got closer the force grew stronger.He could feel his feet rapidly stepping in water.His heart pounding and nothing in his body in pain.He was moving
in at a extremely fast rate.He using his crying crystals jutsu shoot one up And it somehow landing infront of Kurokon and Raigen's future wife.The Crystal shard was as big as a building.You could see at the top its a sharp end.


As people and ninja's would look at it a figure appeared on the top of it.His head down as the rain pour on him his hair blocked his face appearance.But he could see them very clearly.And his seeing them.He glazed down on pon them.Just watching,Just waiting for something to happen.

Haku reared her trident back to strike once again, but it seemed the fight would be cut a bit short. Rain began to fall upon their heads, which seemed to be an advantage to Haku at first. The rain meant an increase in her water bursts, and a decrease in his flames. However, the lightning was what was worrying Haku at the moment, and it was not something that she would just let slip out of her mind. The fact that he could do five of those lightning bolts without getting winded was probably a lie, to try and get Haku to fear him or at least think they were on the same level. Even though everything she had seen so far pointed toward her victory, it seemed the fight was fated to end there and then. The sign of this was a massive crystal striking the ground between them. Suddenly, a boy who looked to only be sixteen at the most was standing ominously, watching them through his thick hair. She couldn't see him, but she got the eerie feeling he could see her.

Cursing under her breath, she threw her trident into the air. Suddenly, he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Looking up to the Akatsuki member behind her, she gave him a look that said it all. They weren't supposed to be wasting their time on pests and children, they had jobs to do. Even Haku knew that, though she desperately wished she could kill the Raikage. In the distance she heard the splashing of feet in puddles, most likely guards on their way to see what all the commotion was about. That plus the instant rain that no one would be able to explain, since just a moment ago it was clear as day, would cause quite a lot of suspicion. Suddenly disappearing, she would appear once again next to the Akatsuki member. Crouching low in a squatting position, she looked up at him and nodded.

"We can't waste our time with weaklings and children. We have a job to do and I suggest that we do it. That or we get out of here as fast as possible, its up to you. Guards are coming, and I saw quite a few ANBU positioned earlier, so it would be quite the fight. I doubt that either of these fellows would be on our side, which adds two more to the list of people we'd need to kill." She said, all very fast and in a barking, authoritative tone. She knew fully well that if she wasn't equals with this man she was beneath him, but it wasn't in her nature to be the one on the other end of a barking, authoritative tone, so she took the initiative.
