Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuzuki had just come back from the blacksmith's shop, and after long wait, finally repaired her chestplate. The blacksmith was exceptionally good since not only did he repair the chestplate, but also, made it more lighter and durable. Her parents would be proud.

As she was walking back to her village high above the cliffs, she noticed a small figure, about the size of a girl, gazing out into the horizon as if staring blankly into oblivion. Yuzuki immediately worried since the girl didn't look like that she was from the village of Kage, and also, she had set up numerous traps within the vicinity of the entire village, and if that girl was an outsider, she must've been a highly shinobi to avoid her traps so easily like that, to the point that Yuzuki hadn't even been alerted of her presence.

Silently, she climbed up the tower until she reached the floor where the girl was sitting, and predictably enough, she was still there, spacing out.

"Excuse me, mind me asking, but who are you? Judging by your clothes, you don't look like you're from here." Yuzuki said with a serious look on her face.

Yuzuki examined the girl's visage thoroughly. She was oviously a highly skilled kunoichi like herself but what was the deal with not being able to recognize her? She didn't seem familiar nor was she famous. Whatever the case, the girl in front of her had just sneaked past through Yuzuki's traps, a feat that didn't go unnoticed as Yuzuki had gotten a sudden interest in the raven-haired girl before her.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I have no idea who you are. I just know that you're here tresspassing on Kage territory. Although I have to admit, you have similar eyes to that of an Uchiha Clansman, so based on that, I presume you're a Sharingan user like that man in Konoha, correct? But what would the Uchihas want here in this quaint village? I doubt you'd find anything useful here besides our delicious sunfish. Or is it that I'm missing something more important?" Yuzuki said as a smirk came to her face.

"Do you think that I could easily be caught by your Sharingan trick?" A voice suddenly said from behind the girl. Luckily, Yuzuki was able to quickly sneak behind the girl when she had her eyes closed. When fighting an Uchiha, the closing of their eyes while speaking to an opponent is one of the tell-tale signs that says that they are about to use a Sharingan. Suddenly, Yuzuki pulled out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the girl's eyes and fastened it tightly, securing it in such a way so as the girl would have a rather difficult time trying to get the piece of cloth from out of her face.

"I've sparred with Uchiha Sasuke quite a few times during my training to become an Anbu. From then on, I learned that the best way to fight the Sharingan users is to never look into their eyes."

Immediately, Yuzuki raised her index finger and poked a spot near the girl's solar plexus, then a spot in her rib, and finally a spot near her neck. Suddenly, the girl's body fell to the floor in weakened state as if her entire body was drained of all her stamina.

"Don't worry, I just temporarily disrupted your body's chakra flow so you should be able to move after a few hours or so. Now, onto more pressing matters. Who are you and what do you want here in Kage?" Yuzuki demanded as she gazed down upon the girl. Although the girl was in a weakened state, weak enough that she wasn't even able to move a finger, making it almost impossible for her to remove the piece of cloth that obstructed her eyes, which makes Yuzuki safe from the Sharingan, she didn't let her guard down for a second. She may be a girl, but she's still and Uchiha, and from experience, Uchihas must never be underestimated.

Yuzuki was surprised at the girl's little stunt. By the feeling that she got when she touched the figure a while ago, one couldn't have guessed that the figure was merely an illusion. An illusion that can mimic the texture of real human flesh? Thats some high level stuff right there.

Yuzuki noticed a faint glimmer from within the smoke, and acting upon instinct alone, she raised her gauntlets until she heard a slight klink of metal. She successfully blocked the shuriken and deflected it. As soon as the smoke cleared, the girl stood before her, looking all smug and pretty. One shouldn't get so cocky when fighting against an Anbu -- especially if that anbu is a Chikarasu.

"Saying goodbye so soon? But we've only just met." Yuzuki said in a sarcastic tone of voice. "So you've already decided on truly becoming a Missing Nin? That's too bad..." She muttered as she slowly let down her arms but being absolutely careful as to not look into Saya's eyes.

"Too bad for you, that is. I am Chikarasu, Yuzuki, bearer of the Masatomi Star-steel Gauntlets, and I am a Body Eraser. My task is to hunt down each and every one of you Missing Nin and either subdue or eliminate you." Immediately afterwards, two long blades two feet long shot out from her gauntlets.

"Now, Uchiha, Saya, what is your decision? Will you choose to surrender peacefully or would you rather do it the hard way? Don't make the same mistake as one of your foolish clansmen, Uchiha, Itachi, made. I promise you, things WILL get messy if you do."

Yuzuki got into her Masatomi fighting style stance as she stared at Saya's visage, sheathing out a katana from behind her person, for she dared not to look into the eyes of a Sharingan user.

"Those two shinobi, Uchiha, Itachi and Uchiha, Madara, were fools to think that the only way to gain power was to sacrifice their loved ones. And you, Uchiha, Saya, are a fool to believe that those two are the greatest shinobi to have ever lived."

Yuzuki secured her stance with both feet secured on the floor of the tower. She clenched her fists and gazed at her opponents body intensely for she would have to rely on Saya's body movements since she can't afford look directly at her opponent lest she be caught in a trap.

"And you're right about your father being a dog. Itachi remained as Madara's loyal lapdog even until his death. What a sad, pitiful life he must've led and it was a miracle that he actually had someone to have his baby with. I pity the woman who had to live with him." Yuzuki mocked, snickering lightly at the end.

Yuzuki either dodged or deflected the large fray of kunais that came from the girl. It was totally unbelievable to think that the girl in front of her actually had a large sum of kunai hidden in her person. How could she conceal such a large number in such a small body with. No matter, it wasn't important to think about such trivial matters now.

"If that's your best, dont bother showing me the rest of your skills, Uchiha, Saya." Yuzuki said before she charged up to the girl with blazing speed and prepared for an attack. She grabbed Saya's head in such a way that her hand covered the Sharingan user's eyes and then proceeded to slam the girl repeatedly on the wall. Afterwards, she kicked the girl squarely on the ribs and then punched Saya in the solar plexus afterwards, the force of which was increased exponentially since she was wearing her gauntlets, sending the daughter of Uchiha, Itachi flying across the room before her flight was stopped by a fortified stone wall.

"If all you can do is throw your kunais at me and hope for the best, you're not the quite skilled kunoichi that I gave you credit for. I overestimated you, Uchiha, Saya. Pitiful, absolutely pitiful." Yuzuki said with a disappointed look on her face. Immediately, she withdrew the blades as they smoothly retracted back into Yuzuki's gauntlets.

"Now, stop wasting my time, and yours, and get the hell out of here. You have to thank me for being generous. I rarely let my opponents stay conscious let alone allow them to escape. Now, I suggest you take my generous offer before I change my mind. I don't want to see your face again, got that? If I ever see even a bit of your hair fluttering in the winds of Kage, I'll hunt you down like a dog, Uchiha, Saya." And with that, the Chikarasu girl proceeded to exit the tower, hoping deep within her heart that she wouldn't have to face the girl again. The last thing she would want was to kill an Uchiha since she knew that the clan had already suffered enough in the hands of Saya's father, Itachi, and uncle, Madara.
