"What do you want this time?" Itsuko didn't need to see his face, she recognised the voice of the unique bipolar personalities.

"Why are you so irritated? In any case, a few weeks ago."

Itsuko brought her hand to her forehand, slightly resting my hands. This definitely meant trouble, afterall, he was obsessed with the sharingan.

"Alright. Thank you, now get out of here before someone finds you."

"See you soon!"

Zetsu... Itsuko never understood why he was always willingly to go the extra mile to give her insiders information and updates just because she asked for it once but he's been a big help nonetheless.

"Captain, I sense the presence of a few anbu nearby." Kakashi came rushing in saying. She didn't need him to tell her, she was more familiar with the aura of these fellas better than he was. She took no time before she headed towards their direction.

"Owl, duck, bear, cat. What business do you have at the land of waves?"

They were heading towards the bridge.

"Captain." They stopped and greeted at the sight of her. "We're on a mission to retrieve the seversword."

"The captain?"

"That's would be me." Owl raised his hand.

"Who gave you orders?"

As Itsuko had expected, Owl spoke up, "Lord Danzo."

"Zabuza's dead. As for the sword, just hand this over to Danzo. This is an order." Itsuko left a scroll with the owl. They were told never to question her orders especially so they left without another word.

It was on her way back, she came across a little boy abandoned on the streets. He was not older than five but he was made of bones. A glimpse was all it took for the boy and he found his new goal. He wasn't any ddiffrent from Itsuko. It doesn't take more than a glimpse and she would've had my eye on my new prey.

She paid no more attention to the boy as she strode past him. The boy however, followed her into the street filled with nothing but darkness and emptyness.

The boy carefully took out a kunai from his pouch, making sure he doesn't gets heard by Itsuko. He held the kunai tight with his hands, lifting it up, attempting to injure Itsuko in anyway possible.

What he least expected was to see Itsuko scatter, leaving butterflies.

He panicked, not knowing what happened. That was when he noticed that Itsuko was already behind him and she had a kunai pointing at his head. He didn't even had time to react.

"Your name?" Itsuko demanded.

From the boys' view, her sharingan made her seem scarier than ever. It was worst since the boy, did not know what a sharingan was. So to him, he was seeing a girl with weird eyes that has just scattered into butterflies and suddenly able to appeared behind him ready to kill him.

"K-Kozaki." He said, shaking in fear.

"Not a really good idea going after an assassin, Kozaki. How old are you? What do you want? What's your story? You're no ordinary boy." Itsuko said, removing to kunai before taking a step back.

"I'm 5 this year. I approached Zabuza and Haku a few months ago. I wanted to train with them and become shinobi. Haku begged Zabuza and so Zabuza gave in and took me in. He told me to look for Itsuko Uchiha if he dies."

"That idiot. I'll give you two days. Go learn more about the wind assassin. It shouldn't be hard. Come look for me afterwards. Prepare your answer by then." Itsuko said as she continued walking down the dark and empty street completely unguarded yet unafraid.

The boy was left there. Alone. An ordinary five year old would have ran home crying out of horror but this boy wasn't an ordinary 5 year old.

Two days later, the building of bridge was completed and the group had bid their goodbyes, making their way home.

Awhile before we reached konoha gates, Itsuko stopped her footsteps. The rest followed and stopped as well. They looked back at her and were about to ask but she immediately did something, and they couldn't react so soon.

"Hey, Kakashi. Hand this over to lord third. Don't stay to watch his reaction, you wouldn't like it." She threw a scroll over to Kakashi. He caught the scroll looking at her confused, same goes for the rest. Kakashi wanted to question but didn't dare to, he was trained to not to before, this was to be expected of the anbu. Whether you're still one or not as long as you were one, you're always expected to go with the rules.

Itsuko turned her back on them before raising her hand, waving goodbye as she strolled off into the forest.

"Kozaki. I know you're there. So what's your answer?" Itsuko asked. She knew he was no normal boy who dreamt of becoming a ninja. He was more aligned with her way of things.

You'd think she was insane. She was talking, when around her were trees and trees only. But no. shortly after, Kozaki emerged from the trees.

"The wind assassin. Itsuko Uchiha. You're well-known jutsu, 'Wind style: Illusional bond'. You've killed many, innocent or guilty. My answer is yes, I'll go with you."

She smirked. "I knew you would. Head start, I'm not that protective as I seem. I tend to sacrifice, providing the sacrifice is worth. So be prepared but well I so happen to like your ability, so you probably would stay with me for quite awhile."

He happily went on with her.

-

"Lord Danzo, captain asked us to hand this over to you." The person behind the owl mask said.

Danzo immediately took the scroll from him and opened it up.

You are a little too late. I got my hands on it first.

Danzo shot up from his seat and threw the scroll on the floor, furious.

"Itsuko Uchiha!"
