Chapter 3

Desolate Plains/Uncharted area

"Very good you three, you provided just enough time for me to gather the corpses required for the plan." Furido stoodbefore the kneeling trio with his usual fake smile and begun to circle them.

"Give me feedback on the enemy, no doubt they will prove to be a problem later on."

Fudo arose from his position and began his response first.

"I encountered a wood user and he proved to be quite the nuisance. I thought I killed him when I buried and crushed him but he manage to merge with the stone as it closed in on him. I'll be sure to crush the little rat if I see him again." Fudo was clutching his fist at the thought of someone being able to survive a battle against him and walk away.

"Hmm..the only wood user I know of was the late Hokage of Konohagakure. This is interesting but shouldn't be a factor..Next Fuen what do you have for me?"

"Their was also a medic-nin and a ninja on the far side of my lovely design Furido-sama. The medic-nin seems to prove little to no trouble at all and the other seemed to have some shred of intelligence if he was able to escape my masterpiece." Fuen briefly arose after giving Furido a cocky and smug report.

"Hmm I expected Asuma to be in their ranks but that don't matter too..and you Fuka what do you have to contribute"

"Nothing much sir, I encountered an odd ninja that didn't give me to much trouble and there seemed to be something awfully wrong with his chakra when I sensed it." Fuka's face begun to redden a bit at the mention of the blonde shinobi and refrained from giving any more information about him.

" Hmm..okay then, I'll be cautious and keep a eye out for this ninja." Furido turned and slowly begun to pace until stopping to gaze at the moonlight.

"Yes, operation Limelight should go according to plan after all."

Fuka looked to her other supposed teammates to find Fudo gazing somewhere else entirely with a sinister grin on his face radiating the intent to kill, Fuen on the other hand seemed to be completely unfazed and in her own little world not caring of the result and consequences for the coming assault on the Leaf.

"They don't care about the lives of the innocent..i don't want to become heartless..i don;t want to be..like them." Fuka silently thought to herself lowering her head at the actions of her teammates.

"Tomorrow at dawn Fudo and Fuen, you will accompany me to the town near the leaf boarder on reconnaissance. Fuka you will stay and guard the coffins in the hideout in case of a patrol somehow discovers it. Does everyone understand?"

"Hai!, Furido-sama" the trio said in unison

"Good, now lets head to the hideout for some rest we have a long day ahead of us." Furido and Fudo shunshined away leaving only Fuen alone with her.

"I know what happened in the cave missy" Fuen paced slowly around Fuka with a cocky grin knowing it would piss her off due to the fact of them not being on good terms ever since they met.

"I don't know what your talking about, I suggest you get out of my face" Fuka responded with a hateful tone.

"Oh don't be like that, I only wanted to ask why you didn't kill the boy when you had the chance Fufu" Fuen smiled hoping to get a violent response from her nickname

"Don't know, I guess I didn't feel like it..but you on the other hand I can assure you there wouldn't any second thoughts" With that said the two ninjas stared each other down for what seemed to be an eternity.

"Foolish girl, whether you like it or not they are our enemy's and they will perish..there is no place for compassion on this operation" Fuen walked passed Fuka and turned

"And like it or not he is going to die along with the rest" with that Fuen shunshined away leaving Fuka alone to her deep thoughts of her words

"Shes right..as long as they have Sora and the bodies there is nothing I can do to stop them..." Fuka gazed at the moonlight looking for an answer but only was rewarded with silence.

RnR and my sincerest apologies for the long delay.
