I am soooo sorry about the wait, and the length.
I have been planning this chapter for EVER! It was the main reason I wanted to even write this story.
I do not own Naruto, only Harmony, and her flute, no stealy the flute. Mine flute.
Oh yeah, you guys should check out shygirl12354, she is starting to write a fanfic, and it's really good so far (in my option.)
On to the story!

Chapter 12:
White rabbits gave away that you were there, dummy. -_-"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here we are, walking on a dirt road towards the land of wave, just walking. Walking and taking in the beauties of nature. Well everyone one else but me. I swear my nerves were fried, either that or I would get whiplash by how fast my hard was turning from left to right, looking the forest on each side.
"What the hell are you doing Harmony?" Naruto asked from beside me. I stopped my head for a seconded and faced Naruto.
"Nothing, I'm just nervous I guess." I answered him.
"Oh, sorry, I never seen you like this so I thought something was wrong." Naruto said back, scratching the back of his head.
"I sorry for bothering you then. Hey do you want me to play some music. Playing always calms me down, and if I'm making you nervous, maybe it will calm us both down." I pulled out my flute as I was talking to him and showed him it. Naruto nodded his head in agreement. I put my flute to my mouth and started to play a sweet little tone, one song that I made myself, and Rin's favorite. She all ways the way the notes flowed together and how tension disappeared when played. I played for maybe for 2 straight minutes till a single tear rolled down my face. I stopped my song shortly and hung my head, overwhelmed with emotions and memories. I knew someone was going too asked, but I prayed that they wouldn't. I don't know if Sakura saw my face and wanted to answer my prayers, or she just had really good timing.
"Sensei, are there ninjas in the land of waves." Sakura asked Kakashi. Kakashi started to go off about the ninja-less country, but I couldn't pay attention. All I could think about was my old team, and my family, and how everyone was killed. 'Why? Why was everyone killed!? Why?!' I yelled in my head. My fist were closed and more tears joined the first, as the made a small steam on my cheeks. My head was turned from the rest of the group, so I thought no one would see me like this. I continued walking a head of everyone till I felt on my shoulder. I whip my head to see whose hand was there; when I turned I saw cold black eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked in a low whisper. I hung my head once again.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about my old team and my family." I whispered back, lifting his hand from my shoulder and wiping my face free of tears. ‘I can't let anyone see me like that, ever again. Seeing me like that makes people asked questions, questions I don't think I would handle answering.' I thought. I put my flute away and looked ahead. Nothing looked out of order, nothing but a small puddle in the middle of the road, a road that hasn't received rain in weeks. I quickly turned to look at Kakashi. He nodded his head but stayed quite, but his eyes, or eye said it all. "I know. Act like normal. Don't let them know that we know." I nodded my head in understatement, and walked towards Tazuna, and stayed right beside him. Tazuna gave me a weird look for my sudden movement, I didn't bother to look at him, and I just kept looking straight ahead, and waited for the ambush.

Luckily, I didn't have to wait long. They (the idiots that think they can hide in a puddle) tried to ambush us the moment the last person walked by. Sakura and Naruto both looked shocked and scared at the sudden attack, and Sasuke looked indifferent, but pulled out a kunia and shuriken. I got out my flute and broke it in half to reveal the weapon half of it. I stood in front of Tazuna to protect him, with my kunias raised. That took all but 2 maybe 4 seconds. I wasn't planning on moving from this spot, unless someone got hurt. I looked to where Kakashi was and my eyes widen in shock and I froze in fear. Kakashi was wrapped in chains by the two ninja, and I looked up just as they pulled on the chain and killed Kakashi.
"No. No. No! NO!" I yelled. I willed my legs to move, but nothing happen. I was frozen. Frozen at the sight of seeing the last person that I held dear to me get killed. I know most people would get really mad and beat the people who did that senseless, but I just froze, looking at the spot where he was attacked. My legs buckled from beneath me, and I once again, felt tears on my cheeks. I know that a battle was going on with the rest of my team, but I don't care. My little fang was gone and I was alone now. My hands moved to cover my face as I whispered his name, nickname, my brother's, my grandfather's, mothers and fathers. My sensei’s and my team's name. The last names to leave my mouth was Kushina's and Minato's once again, before I fell to the ground unconscious
--------------FF-----------------
I woke up a little while later. I didn't know where I was or why I was a sleep. I looked down beside me and saw water. All of a sudden the memory of what happen came rushing back. The ambush. Kakashi getting killed. Me being unable to do anything and falling to the ground. I whipped my head around and saw everyone staring at me. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Tazuna, the guy driving the boat, and Kakashi. 'KAKASHI?!' I did a double take. Kakashi just gave me a closed eye smile and gave me a peace sign.
"Yo." Now it was my turn to stare. How could I believe? I saw the two ninja pull him apart with the chains. And really? Yo? When did he ever say Yo?
"W-What happened?" I asked.
"Well after the ninjas attacked, they ended up going for Tazuna. So the mission is really a B rank, not a C rank, and there will most likely be tougher ninja up ahead." Kakashi explained. I nodded my head, and looked back out at the water. Thinking over what he just said.
"Wait if it's a B rank mission, why did he say it was C rank?" I asked.
"Well we were just talking about that before you woke up. If you may, please continue, Tazuna." Kakashi turned his head to him. I turned my head also, but not before seeing the rest of team 7 still staring at me.

"Well the land of waves is a poor country, that is why I am building a bridge, to help the people here, but there is someone trying to kill my, a man that cast a short and frightening shadow over us. His name is Gato."
"Gato?" Kakashi asked.
"Who’s Gato sensei?" Sakura asked. I was wondering the same thing. 'Who is Gato, never heard of him.' Kakashi started to explain about who this Gato was. I gathered that he owns a shipping company, like money, dis-likes not making money, he'll kill anyone who stops him for making money (Tazuna and the bridge,) and he is really short. I only listen to a little bit of it because half way through I looked around and saw Naruto's hand in a bandage. I being the older sister, sorta, rushed over to him to make sure he was all right.
"Naruto what happened to your hand?! What happened?!" I pretty much yelled at him. Naruto's eyes got really big, and he backed up a little. ‘I think I scared him...' A sweat drop formed on my head. I stood up carefully and sat down beside him and took his bandage hand, carefully unwrapping it. When the bandage was off what I saw was... nothing, nothing but a perfectly good hand. I raised my head and gave him an evil look that said 'Explain yourself mister.'
"So tell me Naruto. Why the hell is your hand bandaged if there is nothing wrong with it?!" I almost yelled at him again, and scaring him again.
"Ummmm, well you see, during the ambush, one of the guy got my hand with a poison claw, so to get rid of the poison, I kinda stabbed my hand with a kunia, and I made an oath to never lose in a fight again with the pain...” Naruto said very scared.
"WHAT!!!" I yelled this time, someone shhhhed me, but I didn't listen. "You idiot, you could have killed yourself, what the hell were you thinking!? Just you wait until-" Someone's gloved hand cut my rant off. I looked up to see who cut me off with a glare, which also was cut off when I saw it was Kakashi.
"What were you about to say?" Kakashi whispered in a warning tone to me. I thought about what I was going to say. 'Wait until Kushina and Minato-sensei hear about this, little brother.' My eyes widen in realization. I can't say anything about Naruto's parents, my old team, or my connection; well I can't without getting questions fired at me. I removed Kakashi's hand from my mouth, and moved back to Naruto, taking the bandage from him and folding it up.
"Sorry for yelling at you Naruto, I didn't mean to act like that." I said to him.
"It's no problem Harmony. Believe it." Naruto said, using his little catchphrase. I couldn't help but give a little giggle to that, making Naruto blush. Sasuke and Sakura once again gave me a weird look, and once again, I ignored them. I looked up to see the giant bridge above us.
"Hey Naruto, look at that." I said, pointing to the bridge above.
"WHOAAAAA!!!!!!!"Naruto yelled, earning him a shhh to.
"SHHHH! Why do you think we are traveling on a boat with no motor?" The boat driver said, looking and the pair of us. Naruto and I both said a quick apology and sat down quickly. It didn't take very long after that to reach the shore. We all got out and Tazuna thanked the boat guy for taking us. Just before he left, he gave both Naruto and I glares. I quickly turned around and started to walk away. Little while later, everyone was walking, well almost. Naruto was throwing kunias into random bushes acting like someone was there.
"Naruto, will you cut it off!" Sakura angrily said to him, but Naruto keep throwing his kunias.
"No over there!" He said before throwing another kunia into bush.
"Naruto!" Sakura said in an irritated tone. Naruto went to see what was in the bush and found a snow white rabbit.
'Wait a rabbit? Its coat is still white. That means it was a substitution!'
"Everyone get down!" Kakashi and I yelled at the same time, just as a huge honking sword came through the air, before lodging itself into the tree in front of us. I slowly got off the ground and looked at the sword, and the person now standing on the sword.
"You know, the white rabbit kinda gave you away. Dummy."
------------------------------------------------
There is Chapter 11! I was planning on making it longer, but I felt like ending the chapter there, and if you are wondering the thing with Naruto and Harmony, she was acting like an over-protective sister, like she promised to Minato and Kushina.
MWAHAHAHAAHA! I love Foreshadowing, even if it was really small, and if anyone knows what I am talking about in this chapter, I applauded you, and give you a cookie of your choice!
I promise to work on the next chappie soon, okay?
If anyone wants me to read their stories, just send me a message, and I will read them and get back to you! :D

Charlie had never felt comfortable in their own skin. Enduring the taunts and teasing that echoed from their youth had become all too commonplace. Most adults don't think twice about staring at someone who looks different. They may not speak the insults, but they are felt just the same. This book is a prequel to Adventurer, it is independent and stand alone, but it does contain spoilers that will give away world elements of that work. Spoiler: Nextlife offered the ultimate solution to Charlie's problems. Not only were they able to participate in the development of whole new worlds, they could find the perfect one. A world where Charlie could become the ultimate expression of their desires, dreams, and aspirations. After all, a dungeon isn't confined by the constraints of human interpretation. Join Charlie as they dive headfirst into the world of Elysium! Authors Note: I understand that gender discussions are not for everyone. If gender fluid concerns are an issue for you please consider not reading this story as it may upset you. If you can withhold your judgement, it is not a heavy topic of the narrative, but it is the MC's motivation to become what they become. I hope that this note helps folks.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.
