Come With Me

The Monkey: What's this blade you got here?

The Monkey quickly takes Renjiro's sword off of him.

The Monkey: Looks like something special.

He hands it back to Renjiro.

The Monkey: We have arrived!

They are in the hidden mist village. The buildings look poor and the people walking around look powerful.

The Monkey: Don't even look at one of the people here the wrong way. They get pretty aggressive and they're far tougher than the people you fight in Konoha.

Renjiro: Fine.

They both walk through the poor stricken streets. They make their way to a big building. The only building in town that looks high class. They walk inside. The building looks beautiful. They walk up long stairs until they reach the top floor. The Monkey opens the door to an office. A beautiful woman with long purple hair and a blue kimono is sitting at the desk. Her angry blue eyes are staring at them.

The Monkey: This is my girlfriend, Lady Mizukage!

She looks even angrier. She puts out her hand.

Mizukage: Water Style: Water bullet.

A bullet of water flies out of her hand. The Monkey is struck with the water. He falls to the ground soaked.

Mizukage: You are not my boyfriend!

The monkey stands up.

The Monkey: You don't need to play hard to get anymore. I swooned you with flowers and now you can't get over me.

Mizukage: You showed up when I was giving a speech for the people who died on a mission. You ruined everything.

The Monkey: That was the first day we kissed.

Mizukage: No, you leaned in on me, and the people in the crowd came and beat you up.

The Monkey: That's not how I remember it.

Mizukage: Monkey.

The Monkey: Yes, beautiful?

Mizukage: Get out!

The Monkey: No, we need a mission. I have the man here with me.

Renjiro: My name is Renjiro Uchiha.

The mizukage looks intriguing. She loses her hard tone. She puts her hand out delicately.

Mizukage: You are the leaf shinobi with a big bounty on your head. My name is Yoshiko. I think we can get along really well.

Renjiro lightly grabs her hand and let's go.

Renjiro: What's the mission?

The Mizukage hands Renjiro a scroll.

Yoshiko: The mission's details are in the scroll. I expect the mission to be done quickly from someone like you.

Renjiro leaves the office.

The Monkey: By babe.

Yoshiko shakes her head in anger.

Ray is in his office. The man from before walks in.

Man: You went to the meeting. How much did you get the Hokage to do? Don't tell me. You have to make a speech about it in ten minutes anyway. You better be out there in ten minutes.

The man leaves. Ray starts thinking.

Ray: When that death camp is created I might not be a ninja anymore. The hokage was able to turn down our idea even if we all agreed on it. She must have a lot of power and to have that power I must be the best ninja. I have to beat everyone in the death camp. That's it! I've made up my mind.

Ray stands up and walks out the door. The people see Ray emerge on the stage. He stops at the mic.

Ray: I have two things to say. First, the clan leaders decided that Konoha has become too weak. They decided on a way to make it stronger. A tournament, or some sorts, like the forest of death will be created. It will be a solo battle royal. Everyone in the same rank will battle. If you don't pass you will no longer be a ninja. The second thing I wanted to say is… I quit! I'm no longer going to run the Uchiha clan. I've got better things to do and I hate all of you. You all suck and I can't be wasting time like this. See ya.

Ray gets off the stage and walks away. The people are so shocked they don't try to go after Ray for what he said.

Nanami finishes getting dressed after getting out of the spa. She says goodbye to Kimiko and runs outside to see Ayame. Ayame is wearing a green kimono with a white robe under it and a pink obi around her stomach. Ayame turns around and sees Nanami.

Ayame: Did I forget something?

Nanami: Miss Ayame, you seem so powerful. You can throw a kunai through a wooden door and it still hits someone. Can you please train me?

Ayame: You have a leaf band. Don't you have a sensei, darling?

Nanami: He disbanded the team. He said that we were too behind for him to teach us.

Ayame: Come, let's see what you have for potential.

The two women walk onto training grounds.

Ayame: Come at me with fists, weapons, jutsu. Whatever you have to use.

Nanami runs at Ayame. Nanami puts all her force in a right hook. Ayame pushes Nanami's arm up with one hand, and she hits Nanami in the chest with two fingers, using the other hand. Nanami stumbles backwards and gets her bearings. Nanami tries to uppercut Ayame in the stomach. Ayame kicks out one of Nanami's legs and she falls to the ground. Nanami punches the ground as she falls. Rubble comes up at Ayame. Ayame jumps back and the rubble misses her.

Nanami: Wood Style: Roots!

Roots come up from under the ground. The roots follow a path to Ayame. Ayame jumps to the side.

Nanami: Wood Style: Wood Cutter!

Four wood spikes are shot out at Ayame. Ayame hits three of them off to the side. She grabs the last one and throws it back at Nanami. The spike slices Nanami's arm.

Ayame: I've seen enough. You are behind the other chunin, but I think with my help you can win the tournament.

Nanami: What tournament.

Ayame smiles.

Ayame: Come with me.
