Angel of The Hidden Leaf

After resting for another few days, we finally decided to leave the Land of Waves. The bridge itself is called the Great Konoha Bridge, named after the ninja who helped the construction and the angel who protected them during the construction.

By Inari's wisdom and reluctantly Tazuna's, Gato is pardoned for his actions. He still has some huge debt to pay though, that's why every single penny and industry he has from the Gato Company are now the property of the People of Waves.

Speaking of property, Haku doesn't seem to be too shaken by Zabuza's departure and becoming my servant. It's obvious that she still miss him a lot, but she's starting to adapt to her new life as my new companion. She never question my orders, she always stood by my side, and she never stopped paying attention to me just to see if I need her help.

Another thing, is that Kyubi has taken a liking to Naruto. He shrunk a little bit and sat on Naruto's shoulder on our way back to Konoha. The blonde doesn't seem to mind having the Kyubi sitting down on his shoulder. I almost envied him in some way, that adorable little fox is fluffier than most dolls.

Interestingly enough, Sasuke seemed to be pretty comfortable in walking with Sakura. He doesn't ignore her questions all the time and listened patiently whenever Sakura tells him about her days in the hospital.

"Aha! We're here, believe it!" Naruto exclaimed when he saw the gates of Konoha in the distance. "Race you all to the village! Come on Kyubi, let's show them what we can do!" He exclaimed.

The Fox smirked and jumped off Naruto's shoulder. Then, in a puff of smoke he grew until he's the size of a small horse. Naruto jumped on top of him and winked at the rest of us. "See you later slowpoke!!!" He exclaimed before the Kyubi start running and took him towards the village.

I looked at Haku and smirked at her. "Come on! Let's see if we can beat them." She yelped a little in surprise when I suddenly took both of us soaring through the air. I can see the Kyubi running below me faster than most Jounins. Even I am struggling to keep up with them.

Soon enough, I dived down towards the village's entrance and landed smoothly at the same time as Naruto did. "And it's a tie!!! Congratulations, you both win!" A familiar voice exclaimed behind me.

I turned around and saw Iruka Sensei smiling at me near a checkpoint. "Hi Iruka sensei!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.

The chunin smiled at me. "Well... I just want to congratulate you for your promotions." I looked at him in confusion when he said that. "It's actually a surprise, why don't you all go to the Hokage to give out your mission report."

"Is this another assassination attempt?" I asked him in suspicion.

Iruka shook his head. "No, there won't be any more assassination attempt. You passed." He told me.

I passed? What does that even mean?

Naruto, Sasuke, Haku, Kakashi, and I stood in front of the Hokage while staring at a black book on his hand. A symbol of the Hidden Mist Village could be seen in the cover of the book. "So... This is the list of all the Wanted Ninja of the Hidden Mist?" I asked him. "Is Zabuza in there?"

Hiruzen opened the book for me and opened an entry about Zabuza. He is an A Rank Missing Nin that is also known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist. A huge cross mark could be seen on the page. "Not anymore Haios san... Zabuza has returned peacefully to Kiri and become a Jounin." He told me.

Haku smiled in joy and relief after hearing that. Looks like Zabuza has finally found peace back in his home village. "That's great! Now he can stop being a bounty hunter and get a better life!" I said.

Then the Hokage opened another page on the Bingo Book. Inside it is a picture of Kakashi an A Rank Konoha Ninja that is also known as The Copy Cat Ninja. Apparently Kakashi has a sharingan hidden in his covered eye and he used it to copy enemy's jutsu.

Naruto gasped a little after reading that part. "Whoa! You copied over a thousand jutsu! That's amazing Kakashi Sensei!" He exclaimed in amazement. "How do you get a Sharingan? Are you Sasuke's secret relative?

Kakashi shook his head. "No, this eye was given to me by my friend." He said in a tone that tells us that there's a story behind that answer. 

Finally, the Hokage flipped to the last page. "Haios san, this is a new updated entry of the Bingo Book." Hokage said. "They were forced to update this book just now when they decided to add a person inside the book." He flipped through the book and showed a page with a familiar face on it.

It's an illustration of me draped inside my angel attire. The description is as follows:

Angel of Hidden Leaf

Name: Unknown

Title: Angel of Hidden Leaf

Class: A Rank

Kekkei Genkai: Unknown

Known Ability: Undetectable by Sensors, Flight, Telekinesis.

Description:

Angel of the Hidden Leaf is a mysterious figure who is said to protect the Shinobi of Konoha and its citizens for a very long time. She has the power to turn an A Rank Shinobi Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Legendary Swordsmen of the Mist powerless. She can bind a person's hand using her power, rendering them unable to do any Jutsu. She also has the power to manipulate weapon to slice her opponent without lifting a single finger.

Sensors confirmed that the Angel doesn't seem to have visible chakra pathways inside her body. She doesn't use any chakra when she manipulates objects around her. Further research suggest that she is immune to any chakra manipulating power such Genjutsu and certain type of Seals.

Order: Approach with Caution

"Nani the fuck!? I'm an A Rank Ninja!? Seriously!?" I yelled out in disbelief while everyone else gasped in shock.

Hiruzen nodded and closed the book in front of me. "At least in Kiri you are a wanted person." He took a sip of a tea and smiled at me. "Of course, I already expected this to happen during your first mission. That is why I decided to promote you into becoming a Tokubetsu Jounin."

What the WHAT!? "A JOUNIN!?!? I haven't even become a Chunin yet!" I exclaimed in disbelief. "Now you're turning me into a Jounin? I mean, WHAT?!"

The Hokage nodded calmly. "You proved yourself to be quite skilled. You hold your own against twenty Chunin and survived a friendly spar with me." He explained. "This is why I decided to give you a promotion into becoming one of our Special High Ninja.'

"Wait just a minute Old Man!!!" I heard Naruto yelling out beside me. "What about Team Seven? She's not leaving us isn't she?" He asked in disbelief.

"Unfortunately she is..." Hiruzen said. Then she looked at Haku who has been silent the whole time. "If Haku decided to pledge alliance to our village, she can replace her position as the Genin of Team Seven."

We all looked at Haku who just looked at Hiruzen with a reluctant look on her face. "I..." She turned towards me. "What should I do, Angel sama?" She asked.

I nodded at her. "Sure, someone's gotta take care of the boys for me." Then I shrugged a little. "Besides, what's stopping me from spending time with you lot?" I pointed at the old man. "Not that old fossil, that's for sure."

Then the Hokage stood up from his seat and activated a complex seal on the wall beside him. The door behind us locked up on its own and the whole room is sealed with complex mechanism. "Now, regarding the part about the Nine Tails in your report..." Hiruzen said with a dead serious look on his face. "If it's not for Kurenai and her genjutsu, your arrival would've caused mass panic among the villagers."

I thought back about how Naruto ride the Kyubi all the way to Hokage Tower. It seems pretty odd that nobody noticed it happening.

"For this reason, I decided that the Kyubi must not take a form of Nine Tailed Fox. May I suggest, a regular fox or a ninja dog." The Hokage said.

"A big regular fox." Naruto said suddenly. "At least that's what he told me." He added.

Hiruzen nodded a little. "Fair enough, I will arrange a meeting with the fox later since Kakashi has told me that he is trustworthy enough." Then he looked at me. "Haios, this marks the end of your test. From this day forward, there will be no more assassination targeted towards you."

FINALLY!!! That took WAY too long!!! "Yes! Thank You so much Hokage Sama, I promise I am not going to reveal S Rank secret again!" I exclaimed in relief.

The Hokage smiled at me. "I trust that you won't." Then he looked at rest of us. "You're all dismissed."

[LINE BREAK]

Sakura stood in front of her home. Her hand gripped her flashlight tightly and her eyes burns with determination. She flashed the door handle and the door slowly opened on its own, revealing a dark empty living room.

"Kabuto san." Sakura said calmly as she stepped into the house. "Are you here to pick up Yuko's medical record?" She flashed her flashlight towards a wall near the door frame and a certain white haired medic flickered into existence. "Or are you here to start a war?"

Kabuto smirked at her and held up his hands. "All right, you got me Sakura chan..." He said calmly. "You can put your flashlight back down." He lowered his hand and walked closer towards her. "I know it's harmless."

The girl twirled her flashlight around. "Harmless you say..." She smiled a little. "That's why I love it, doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim..." Then she pointed the flashlight in front of his face. "But that's the Sonic Screwdriver."

A blinding flash of blue light shot out of the Chakra Flashlight. Kabuto's eyes widened and a blood curling scream came out of his throat. He struggled to run away, but he can feel his body paralyzed in a single spot. "This is Chakra Flashlight. It manipulates chakra like a handheld Fuinjutsu and Juinjutsu Blaster." Sakura said coldly while watching Kabuto screaming in agony in front of her.

Then, she turned off the flashlight. Kabuto dropped down to the floor below her in agony. He covered his forehead with his palms while hissing a little in pain. "Wh-what have you done..?" He whispered weakly.

Sakura smirked at him. "That, my friend, is the Caged Bird Curse Seal. A Juinjutsu used by the Main House of the Hyuga Clan to control the Branch Member of its house." She frowned a little after saying that. "I don't really like their way of treating their family, but I suppose there's nothing I can do for now..."

Then, the pink haired medic looked at Kabuto. "You know... I was thinking about burning every single one of your brain cells using that seal... I really, really want to kill you right now..." Her expression fell and she crouched down to the floor in front of him. Then she gripped Kabuto's shoulders with both of her hands and closed her eyes.

Slowly, Sakura brought her face close to Kabuto's ear and started to whisper. "You murdered my parents when I was away... You killed them in cold blood..." Her voice wavered and she started to sob a little. "Th-then why... Why can't I bring myself to hurt you?" She leaned away and wiped a tear off her face. "Is it because I took that oath? To never be cruel? To always be kind?"

"Why did you do it..?" Sakura whispered. "Why did you kill my parents?"

Kabuto looked at Sakura, his head is still throbbing but he forced out sentences out of his mind. "Y-you have so much po-potential Sakura... Your knowledge... Your intelligence... You can do so much more..." His whole body shook as he slowly stood up from his position. "Join us Sakura... Orochimaru sama will... GYAAAAH!!!"

His words were cut short when the X seal on his forehead glows brightly. With a resounding thud he dropped back down on the floor while screaming his lungs out in pain and agony.

"Nope, from now on, you are answering to me. So forget about that snake and tighten up your lab coat. Tomorrow is your first shift as my assistant in the hospital." Sakura said with a flat look on her face. Then she let go of the hand seal and folded her hand in front of her chest. "Now get the hell out of my house before a Shinobi shows up."
