Puppets... (Naruto Story) Part 1

Nothing more than puppets...

Your eyes widened in shock as her blood splattered across the ground and he dropped her twitching corpse.

All you could hear was your heart beating rapidly in your ears before you lunged forward with a cry; your puppet following close behind with its dangerous bladed hands.

Your first kill... was so easy.

+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

...
Slowly your eyes open and you're greeted by a few bright rays of sun... and Rosuto standing over you with a crazy grin. You groan and roll over in the vain attempt to get some more sleep, causing Rosuto's grin to change to a frown.
"Oh, come on! I just saw some Genin and their sensei waltz by. I wanna have some fun..." the maniac started nudging you with his foot.
Your eyes shot open and you turned to give him a dirty look before replying, "You'll get us killed."
"Tch! We can take the Genin out with ease."
"So? What about the Jounin doing his best to save his students?" you retort, standing up and brushing Rosuto's sandal marks away.
Rosuto opened his mouth to reply, but you drowned him out and examined your camp. The forest always looked different during the day when you're used to traveling through it at night... You blink when you realize Rosuto is staring at you for an answer.
"No." you shrug and pick up your puppet.
"You didn't even listen to what I had to say!" Rosuto hissed.
"So-" you barely finished getting that one word out before you heard something cutting through the leaves--a kunai. The expression on your face warned Rosuto so you both ducked in time to dodge it as it buried itself in the tree right behind you.
Rosuto picked up your second puppet that you had left laying against a tree where he had slept while you quickly performed a genjutsu and disguised the camp.
It would take someone quite clever to figure out this is a genjutsu. You decide with a nod after you had jumped up in a tree and hidden yourself. Rosuto's hidden himself decently. Good.
You waited patiently for whoever attacked you to appear and finally.. a boy wearing an orange jumpsuit and wild blond hair jumped into the camp, scratching the back of his head.
Both you and Rosuto blinked at the same time and probably pulled out a kunai at the exact second... That kid would regret interrupting your argument!
A second later two other Genin and a Jounin appeared. One had pink hair and was wearing bright red, the other genin had raven black hair and was wearing a blue shirt and white shorts.
Uchiha! you realized when you saw his clan symbol.
Then lastly the jounin had silver hair and one of his eyes covered with his headband, or forehead protecter. (whatever you wanna call it. Rosuto and you got into an argument about it when you were younger.)
"I'm telling you! I heard people over here!" the blond tried to defend himself.
"Idiot." you heard the Uchiha mutter to himself.
The pink haired girl seriously looked like she agreed with the Uchiha while the Jounin just sighed.

The sound of footsteps gains your attention and you notice another girl walked over to the four ninja. She had red hair and purple eyes.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura!" she called as she walked over to them with her eyes pointed at the ground. "...Kakashi sensei? Can we move on. I don't really like this place."
Your eyes widened. A small vibration through the branch you were standing on warned you of Rosuto's approach.
"Hito. That girl.." Rosuto began, using your nickname.
"Has Giman blood in her, but just a little. That's why she has purple eyes." you whispered back.
Giman blood? Does that mean she's related to Hito? (Me: yep. But she only has a little, so she's a distant relation. Oh and here's a flashback)
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
"Sasori Sensei?" you asked, looking up at him a few days after Myuto's death.
"Hm?" he looked down at you waiting for your question. His face gave away no clues about what his mood was. It was simply blank.
"Who will our next teammate be?"
He seemed to think for a moment before calmly answering, "If you ever find someone with Giman blood in their veins and if you capture them successfully... I might let you have that person as a new teammate."
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

...
I know he was probably just humoring me... you think, examining the ninja below you. And that girl looks as if she has never even touched a kunai or used any of her abilities...
You let off of your thought patterns to focus on the girl some more.
"I'd like to be at least halfway to my village before the day's over." she continued on softly.
"Okay, Seirei. We'll move on." the Jounin, Kakashi, replied as he pat her head.
"But, Kakashi-" (you assumed) Naruto argued.
The pink haired girl growled something along the lines of shutup before punching him and walking away... so you sweatdropped.
They don't even realize that the boy was right, do they? you mentally sigh.
"Hey, Hito." Rosuto whispered.
"Hm?"
"Can we abduct that girl?"
"...Sure." you reply.
A small smirk found its way to your lips as you quickly sent small strings of chakra to connect with your two puppets.
"We haven't had any interesting fights with leaf ninja in a while, have we?"
Continued in the results.
--------In Konoha the day before--------
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi stood in front of the Hokage as he explained the last details of their next mission.
"Now, all you have to do is escort young Seirei home." he finished and a young girl stepped into the room. She was younger than Team 7, not doubt, she was probably eleven.
"These are the ninja that are going to be escorting me, H-Hokage?" she asked softly, looking at them with piercing purple eyes.
The Hokage nodded.
"Okay... My name is Seirei, a-as I'm sure you know. And you are?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" the red head nodded acknowledgment, "Sakura Haruno." Another nod, "...Sasuke Uchiha." She looked at him and a faint blush covered her face, making Sakura glare at her, "Kakashi Hatake." She grinned sheepishly up at him as she nodded.
After a moment of awkward silence a small smile found its way to Seirei's mouth and she slowly looked to the Hokage for assurance before motioning for them to follow her so they could prepare to set out.

A few hours later...
"You really fought a Jounin?!" Seirei demanded with wide eyes, looking at Naruto in shock as they continued walking on the much used path they had decided to take.
"Yeah! Believe it!" the blond replied, nodding his head vigorously. "Zabuza and a guy named Haku."
"Wow." Seirei looked down at her feet shyly. 'I'm supposed to be strong like them, but...'
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, stepping up beside her.
"Oh, nothing!" Seirei replied, smiling at her pink haired companion. "Just can't wait to get home."
Seirei glanced shyly at Kakashi and Sasuke before heaving a soft sigh.
"We'll continue for a few more hours and then we'll set up camp." Kakashi announced.
"Whew." Seirei sighed.
"Getting tired already?" the Jounin teased in a somewhat bored tone.
"Not exactly." Seirei bristled slightly and then blushed. "I just don't really like traveling."
