The Middle of Pain
Chapter 1: Picking Up the Pieces, the Files
A blond haired woman sighed as she looked at the papers scattered across her desk. “I need to update these files.” It was true, she did. They haven’t been updated in two years. Well the ones for the old famous Konoha 22. One needed to be put down as dead and another needed to be put down as a missing ninja. She looked up when a loud crash came from the door. It was the last member of the legendary team 12. His name was Inuzuka Jeikobu.
“Tsunade-sama, the Ky-Ma-Ro Trio spotted a girl that looks like Moria with a boy who they believe is Sasuke!” shouted the worried boy. He was followed by a bark from the dog, Gourdie, which he rode in on. Tsunade slammed her desk and shouted, “Order them to investigate when you and Kiba get there!” He saluted and left to get Kiba. Tsunade sighed; Sasuke is wanted dead for killing her student. Naruto doesn’t know what side he is on in this matter so they were lucky that Naruto is gone from the village.
She picked up the files on by on and updated each one.

She now only had the ninja five files but they have to give her updates on information. They were still on a mission so it would be awhile. So she started thinking about something that has bugged them for the last two years. ‘What happened to Makkenji’s body? Did Orichimaru take it for reanimation?’ she thought. When they went to get the body for the funeral there was no body. She looked out the window at nothing.
-Some Small Country by the Sand-
A girl was sitting in a tree with a man a few trees away. They looked like they were going to train due to the many training dummies. The girl had chocolate brown hair with sapphire blue streaks and eyes and tan skin. She had a mischievous grin on her face when she looked at her partner. She had a black cape to blend with the darkness of the woods with a long sleeved green shirt and blue sweats with black ninja sandals. She had a Konoha headband on her forehead with a slash in it. Her partner had an emotionless face, onyx eyes, and raven hair pulled into a pony tail. He wore a black cloak with red clouds. He also had a Konoha headband with a slash.
“Makkenji, last time you grinned like that you put and pink cloak with grapefruit sewn into the chest area on Deidra while he was sleeping.” Makkenji grinned even more at the memory then looked at the man. “I only had Deidra trick out the dummies Itachi.” Itachi sighed at this. She liked a challenge so she let Deidra put explosives in the dummies. He watched as she jumped down and skillfully avoided the explosions and take her katana that she hid under her cape and slashed the dummies. She put out the fires and looked at Itachi. “That was too easy. Let’s go back to base.” He simply nodded and they headed back.
-At Base-
“Itachi, Makkenji, I have a mission for you.” Their leader calmly stated. “What is it?” Makkenji asked. She may not be a member but she was still sent on missions due to her high skill level. “A team is coming closer to our base and they seem to be searching for us. Zestu says that they are Konoha shinobi.” His gaze fell on Makkenji on the last comment knowing that she hasn’t cut her ties completely. She smiled, “They didn’t bother healing me so they will meet their fate.” Leader nodded simply and sent them off and thought, ‘Let’s hope her ties aren’t strong with these people.’ He thought for another minute. ‘I hope she grabs her hat this time.’
