  Fire Capital.

  Daichi, Genma and Anko were iigating the man they know as Nam. They had spent almost three hours but there wasn't much useful information they could gather. They had split up and searched for information through several avenues but the results were disappointing.

  Genma sighed as he rejoined with the other two.

  "Anything?" Anko asked.

  Genma shook his head. "Nothing other than the usual. A mid level mert who moves all over Fire capital and the b tries. Nothing stands out about him. Just an ordinary guy. Standard background for espionage agents."

  "Yeah. The same. The people I talked to barely had any impression of him." Anko spoke as she sat on a nearby rock.

  "Genma sensei is right. That's by design. He's someone who people will fet easily in just a short time." Daichi spoke up. "From what I learned, he left the capital a few days ago on business. The few people who were in tact with him don't know where he went."

  "His home was a bust as well. There's nothing that points us anywhere. He didn't keep any relevant information that could help us." Anko told them about her side of the iigation.

  "Well, this wasn't a total waste of time. We now have a picture of the guy. With a clear description our odds of finding him are much higher."

  Anko and Daichi looked at the Special Jonin.

  "The guards here make sure the people who e here aren't in any disguises. So we be certain that the descriptio is real. So this trip wasn't a plete waste. Still, I was hoping to find much more." Genma spoke as he twirled the senbon from one end of his lips to the other.

  Daichi crossed his arms and frowned. 'Damn it. Time is running out. There was nothing useful in that and now this Nam guy has disappeared. Orochimaru is well prepared. He's taking every precaution possible.'

  Daichi looked at the position of the sun a out a deep breath of air. 'It's almost five in the evening. There isn't much point in waiting around here. I just hope my two es find something useful.'

  One of the two shadow es went to the pace of the Third Prince. He found out that the prince was on a trip and would only return in the evening, so he was waiting patiently hidden from everyone.

  The sed e was swiftly making his way towards Orochimaru's main base.

  Daichi thought about it and decided that he could only wait till he got more information. 'There must be some crucial information in Orochimaru's hideout.'

  "We should head back to the vilge. I've made a copy of Nam's travel history. We'll give it to the analysis team whe back to the vilge. Maybe we'll get a clue as to where Orochimaru's hideout is after they analyze the information."

  Genma spoke and the two hey began to leave the capital city.

  A Few Kilometers away.

  A team of 6 shinobi were standing atop a small hill overlooking the dense forest. A woman wearing a green dress and light blue hair, who stood at the front of the team turned her attention to the side.

  "Have they ehe forest yet, Rinji?" Guren asked the man standing near her.

  "I'm afraid not Guren. There is a ce we might have to wait a lot longer." The man with dark brown hair and loose fitting purple vest spoke. A ninja from the Land of Sound and the underling of Orochimaru.

  Hearing the reply Guren frowned and looked ahead. 'So they haven't left the capital yet huh. This is going to be tricky. We followed their trail but it seems we were too te. I wao intercept them before they reached the capital to avoid wasting time.'

  "We could capture the brat from the capital." One of the ninjas oeam spoke.

  "No." Rinji shook his head. "The Fire capital has several powerful guards. Once we cause a se we'll be in trouble. Our best ce is to wait for the Leaf ninjas to leave. Ohey put some distand ehe forest we'll get them."

  Rinji then turned his attention to Guren. "They went to the Fire capital after going to that blown up . I wonder why that is?"

  Guren stayed quiet as she heard Rinji's question. 'They don't know that it beloo Lord Orochimaru. That was built for unicatioween several of Orochimaru's agents throughout the Land of Fire. The fact that the Leaf ninjas got to it… It means the information has been exposed. So the fact that they went to the capital right after… There might be a ce that those Leaf ninjas are iigating Nam. This is a problem. Looks like after I capture that brat, I'll have to kill the two who's with him.'

  She slightly sighed and recalled the st meeting with her master and the orders he gave.

  Fshback.

  In a base in the Land of Sound, Kimimaro led Guren to his master as soon as she arrived.

  "She is here my Lord." Kimimaro spoke and Guren half k in front of Orochimaru.

  "Aahh… Guren. How nice of you to e so quickly." Orochimaru had a wide grin as he looked at the woman.

  "Of course my Lord. How could I make you wait?" Guren replied with a smile.

  "Hihihi… So eager to please."

  "My Lord. Kimimaro told me that you're pnning on attag Tsunade Senju. Have you called me to take part in that mission?" Guren asked the Snake Sannin.

  Orochimaru smiled and shook his head. "No. I already have a team assembled and ready for that. I called you here for a different reason."

  Guren's eyes widened as she heard that. 'Whatever it is, it must be extremely important. I must not fail him.'

  "No matter what task it is, I'll plete it, my Lord." Guren spoke with absolute loyal fervor.

  "Kuku… I know I trust you. Guren, I need you to plete two missions for me. Both of them are extremely vital to my pns."

  Gure and silently waited for her master's orders.

  "Your first task is to locate Kabuto and inform him that his mission in the Leaf vilge has e to an end. The information he's gathered is enough for now. After tomorrow's attack the Leaf will be on guard. They'll definitely be looking for any spies who've infiltrated their ranks and I don't want Kabuto to be caught."

  Orochimaru gave her the first task and at that moment Kimimaro gave her a small scroll.

  "That scroll tains information on Kabuto's current mission given by the vilge. It also includes the routes he's taken. Intercept him and inform him of the ge in the pns. But remember, you should only make your move tomorrow night."

  Guren nodded. "Yes. Of course my Lord. What is the sed task you wao plete?"

  "Tsunade's student. A Genin named Daichi Hekima. He's extremely talented and is crucial to my pns. I want him."

  Guren's eyes widened as she listened. 'Wait. Does that mean… My Lord… Is he your vessel… Am I not worthy?'

  Gure her thoughts aions to herself and listened.

  Orochimaru looked at the woman in front of him and spoke. "Onews reaches the vilge that Tsunade was attacked, I doubt the boy would be able to sit still. He will defiry to find her. When he leaves the vilge, I want you to capture him alive and bring him to my base at 'that' location."

  Kimimaro gave another scroll to the blue haired woman. "This taiailed information on Daichi Hekima. From his appearao his skills. Use it to form an effit pn."

  "Yes. It will be done, Lord Orochimaru."

  "Guren. Remember. I want him unharmed. So try not to damage him. Your mission is to subdue him and bring him to the loarked on the scroll. Memorise the information aroy the scroll."

  "Yes my Lord. If he's just a Genin, pleting this mission won't be a challe all." Guren spoke with a fident tone.

  The Snake Sannin chuckled hearing that. "Hihi. I wouldn't be too sure of that. His strength is far beyond Genin. His talent and potential... It might even be greater than yours."

  Guren was startled to hear that. 'What? A child with such power?... No wonder. It's no wonder Lord Orochimaru wants him.'

  "I uand my Lord."

  "Good. Make sure to destroy the scroll. The information on that should only be known to you till the task is pleted. Once you've brought him to that location, wait for my further instrus."

  Guren bowed her head and spoke in a respectful tone. "Yes my Lord. I uand."

  "Excellent. Kimimaro will take it from here. I have to prepare." With those words Orochimaru disappeared into the darkness and Guren stood.

  "e. I already have a team assembled." The st member of the Kaguya spoke ahe blue haired woman through several hallways. Soon that reached a rge room. 12 people were waiting in that room.

  "All of them are Lord Orochimaru's experiments and have beeowed with special abilities." Kimimaro spoke as he looked at them.

  The 12 individuals were prisoners of Orochimaru that had undergone various experiments. They had strange appearances and some of them had different ons attached to their bodies.

  The member of the Kaguya then poio two people who stood in the er of the room. "Among the 12, those two are the stro. Rinji and Gozu. You use them as you see fit to plete the two tasks."

  "Yes. I'll be doh my assigs soon." Guren nodded.

  Kimimaro looked at the woman and knew just how strong she was. So he had faith in her abilities. But he still gave a short warning.

  "Good. And remember. Failure is not an option."

  With those words he walked away.

  Guren slightly frowned but didn't say anything as she looked at the leader of the Sound Five. She turned her attention to the rest of the people in the room and then walked to a nearby chair.

  "Alright, listen up. I'm your team leader now. We have two very important missions to plete. We move out in an huren spoke as she looked at the rge group. She had an arrogant smile as she looked at them.

  Three of the prisot angry as they heard her desding tone.

  "This woman. Who do you think you are huh." A man almost 7 feet tall with bulky muscles stepped forward and looked at Guren.

  Gathering ce, two others from the group also stepped forward. "You don't look like you could beat any of us."

  "Yeah. Maybe Lord Orochimaru made a mistake. If you want to be the leader, yonna have to prove your strength to us, little girl." The person who spoke had light skin, several scars on his fad body. The most notable detail was the rge machete that was attached to his right elbow.

  Guren chuckled as she looked at the three. "There's always a few idiots…"

  Hearing those words the three got angry and took a step forward. The moment Guren made her move.

  She made a hand seal and several long, sharp pink crystals shot at the tall bulky man at the front. The crystals came from the floor, the ceiling and the walls surrounding them. The fast attastantly ripped through the man's body shredding him to pieces.

  Seeing this horrific se the two others who were arrogant a sed ago were suddenly afraid. But it was too te for them as well.

  "Crystal Style - Crystal prison!"

  A sed ter pink crystal appeared below their feet and pletely covered them before they could figure out what was even happening.

  The two people were pletely encased in her jutsu.

  Guren chuckled seeing the terrified faces of the people in the room. She raised her hand and snapped her finger ond the instant, the two crystals shattered into tiny pieces.

  "Does anyone else have a problem with me being the leader?" Guren asked and everyone was silent and averted their gazes.

  After showg a fra of her puren focused oask her Lave her. She opehe sed scroll ahrough the details and was very surprised.

  'A student of the Legendary Sannin Tsunade Senju. His medical skills are rumored to be almost on par with his teacher. His chakra trol and physical skills are all exceptional. Based on this information, this brat might be a high in level ninja or maybe even a low Jonin… Not bad for a brat… This is going to be tricky…'

  Fshbad.

  As the team stood there, suddenly a bat flew from the forest and nded on Rinji's arm. It sent a sonic whistle to Rinji's mind and his eyes widened. He turo the team leader and smiled.

  "Guren. They've ehe forest."

  The blue haired woman smiled hearing that. "Hahaha… Good. About time. Let's proceed."
