“What is it, Kakashi, is something wrong?”
Kakashi just gave Nyoko another smile as he spoke.
“No, nothing’s wrong, but can you really say you would enjoy your time with the others, in a long dress like that?”
Nyoko looked down at the long white and gold gown she had on. Her movements were quite limited in it.
“Okay, I’ll go change.”
There was something amiss, the only thing that Kakashi wished he knew; what was it exactly?
‘Maybe it would have been better if Lord Hokage had never sent for them. Something foul is hanging in the air and I don’t like it one bit.’

Chapter 2: Enemy Invasion, Kept Promise
By TaintedDarkInuShemeeko
Nyoko sighed as she changed into an orange ninja dress. She then started to brush out her hair when the familiar voice of Kakashi spoke to her.
“Would you mind if I gave you a hand? It would give us time to talk.”
Before Kakashi even had a chance to say anything, Nyoko spoke to him.
“I know what you’re going to ask and the only thing that she said to me was that she loved me.”
Braiding her long hair Nyoko then twisted it into a spiral bun on top of her head. She then smiled down at Hige.
“So what do you think, Hige?”
The tan mutt barked twice and wagged his tag. Kakashi chuckled when he saw the dog’s reaction.
“I think he likes it.”
Nyoko giggled in return, “I think you’re right, Kakashi.”
Kakashi placed a hand gently on Nyoko’s shoulder when he noticed a worried look enter her brown eyes.
“I can’t really tell you not to worry about her. The whole village knows that there is a good reason as to why one of Chiyo’s shadow clones brought you to the village.”
A sigh escaped from Kakashi’s lips as he knelt down in front of the twelve year old seer.
“Though I would give almost anything to be able to tell you just that but…”
Nyoko’s voice stopped him before he could continue.
“Please, Kakashi, if you’re going to say that it is the way of the Shinobi to sacrifice one’s life to protect the village, I’ve heard it a dozen times, from my father and then my sister.”
“Alright then I won’t, Chiyo didn’t just do it for the village but for you as well; but I’m sure you know that as well.”
Nyoko looked down at Hige as he scratched an itch, the leaf head band around his neck flopped up and down as he did so. Not wanting Nyoko to worry any more then she already was, Kakashi decided to speak.
“Well now, if you are feeling a little better, how about I introduce you to Naruto and the others?”
Nyoko nodded as she answered him. “Yes, I would like that very much.”
88888888888888888
“Hey, Iruka sensei, just how close are you and this Hideaki sensei that sent the shadow clone with Nyoko?”
“Well, we’re friends, Naruto. I have only been on a mission with Chiyo once and that was seven years ago.”
“Sooo, the two of you never went out, I mean I know it was just a shadow clone but she sure was pretty.”
“Well I…”
After a second, the words that Naruto had just said struck Iruka, narrowing his eyes at the hyper active ninja. He smacked him in the back of the head as he yelled.
“Is that all you think about now? Get your head out of the gutter. Besides that is none of your concern.”
Before Naruto could say anything else, Kakashi appeared with Nyoko trailing beside him.
“Hello, everyone, sorry for making you wait.”
“Kakashi sensei, so this is Nyoko, right?”
“That’s right, Naruto.”
“It’s nice to meet you. You sure are pretty, I mean not as pretty as Sakura, but a lot prettier then most girls.”
Sakura ground her teeth together as she punched Naruto.
“Naruto, stop being rude, you perv!”
Naruto didn’t even have a chance of asking Nyoko about the black ninja gloves on her hands before he groaned and fell unconscious. Sakura, however, took notice of the white ninja head band that was tied around her neck. Kakashi, however, spoke up before she could ask about it.
“Well, everyone, I want to introduce you to Nyoko Hideaki.”
“Hi, I’m Sakura Haruno.”
Sakura looked down at the orange lump beside her.
“And this is Naruto, I’m sorry if he was inappropriate.”
Nyoko just smiled at Sakura and giggled lightly as she watched Naruto rub his head.
“It’s nice to meet you both.”
Nyoko’s milk chocolate orbs followed Kakashi’s movement as he introduced his last student.
“Lastly Nyoko I would like you to meet Sasuke…”
Nyoko finished the rest for him.
“Uchiha…it’s nice to meet you, as well.”
Kakashi blinked for a moment and then smiled.
“Well, now that that’s all taken care of. What should we do next?”
Kakashi then looked over at Iruka.
“Did you have something to add, Iruka ?”
“Just that Lord Hokage asked me to tell you that you and your team were chosen to protect Lady Hideaki. He also wanted you to know, Kakashi, that it was Chiyo who chose your team after looking at their stats. Kurenai’s team was Chiyo second choice. Well I better get going, it’s good to have you home, Nyoko.”
In a blink of an eye, Iruka was gone, and back to his class room of students.

“Lord Hokage.”
The third Hokage looked up from the paper work he had been working on to address the Chunin who had spoken to him.
“Yes, Hiro, what seems to be the problem?”
“Intruders have breeched the south wall of the village. We must get you somewhere safe, sir.”
First Chiyo had sent a shadow clone in her place and now this. Today wasn’t turning out to be the joyful day that Hokage had thought it would be.
“First and foremost, Hiro, word must be sent to Kakashi Hatake. He must be informed of the potential danger that young Lady Nyoko could be in.”
“Yes, sir, right away.”
Hiro disappeared as he went off in search of Kakashi and his team, while the third Hokage was left to ponder their next move.
‘Just where are you now Chiyo; are there more than the ones that breeched the south wall and are you the one holding them off?’
88888888888
“Damn it, how many are there? It’s almost like they are rebel ninjas from the village hidden in the sand.”
Chiyo pulled in a slow breath as she kept an eye on the invading ninjas.
‘I have faith in you and your team, Kakashi, I just know you’ll keep her safe for me.’
“Just hold them off until I get there. If Nyoko gets too nervous, she might open a door to her chakra that she not ready for.”
8888888888888888
Naruto looked curiously over at Nyoko when he noticed that her eyes had grown distanced and they were no long brown, but a pale blue.
“Hey, Kakashi sensei, is she okay, her eyes are a different color then before.”
Kakashi’s head turned away from his book as he looked at Nyoko. Getting up he walked over to Nyoko and spoke softly to her.
“What is it, Nyoko, what do you see?”
Her normal happy voice took on a far away sound as she spoke.
“Rebels from another village have breeched the south wall. They’ve come looking for me.”
Just as the vision had ended and Nyoko blinked her eyes Hiro landed in front of Kakashi.
“Ah…Kakashi I’ve found you. Lord Hokage needs you and your team on alert. Rebels from the sand village have breeched the south wall.”
“Thank you, Hiro, but we’ve already been informed.”
The Chunin just nodded as he returned to the Hokage’s side.
“Alright, everyone, you all know what to do. Keep your eyes peeled; we were given a job to do.”
Kakashi’s right eye moved to the left as he heard something sail through the air. Holding a kunai in his right hand, he parried the flying kunai.
“Is that the best you can do?”
“Kakashi Hatake, a.k.a. the Copy Ninja. No, it’s not my best but who said I wanted the girl alive?”
Just then Kakashi’s eyes widened as a scream filled the air followed by Naruto’s voice.
“Wh-what is this? The ground under her feet is turning to sand.”
“What’s the matter, Kakashi, are you at a loss for words? How will your team figure this one out?”
‘Where are you really? The one in the trees isn’t real, that means.’
“Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Nyoko get away from the sand! It’s not really sand at all.”
Just as Sasuke and the others grabbed a hold of Nyoko, she screamed as a hand made out of sand gripped her ankle.
“Aaah, let go of me.”
Naruto and Sasuke were both being pulled down toward the sand; along with Nyoko. Sasuke’s dark eyes looked down at the sand.
‘So you’re the sand are you? Let’s see how you like this.’
“Fire style, fireball jutsu.”
As soon as Sasuke’s flames hit the center of the sand pool, the hand started to pull away from Nyoko. There was a pop as the sand disappeared all together.
“He used shadow clone jutsu.”
A cold laughter seemed to surround them.
“Not it at all, kid, mine is something better. Sand clone jutsu. So these are your students. How pitiful. I would have thought she would have at least assigned a stronger group to protect the gift of the village hidden in the leaves before she died.”
Nyoko’s heart froze at hearing his words.
‘No, he’s lying, he has to be. Chiyo is not dead.’
Her sister’s words along with her father’s rang inside of her head.
“A shinobi lives and dies to protect the ones in their village. It is the shinobi way, Nyoko.”
Kakashi turned to face Naruto and the others; his Sharingan eye focused in on Nyoko and could see the rise in her chakra.
“Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura it would be better if the three of you took a step away from Nyoko now.”
It was then that the hidden ninja made his appearance. Kakashi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the ninja to the left of him.
“Joben Toehei, code name the Sand Viper. What are you doing here?”
“I think you already know. I’m here for the girl, of course.”
Kakashi just smirked at him.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen today.”
Naruto tensed as he watched Joben move closer.
“Kakashi sensei, what are we doing? He’s going to get her!”
“Just wait, Naruto. You’ll see soon enough.”
“See what soon enough? I don’t get it.”
Joben couldn’t keep himself from laughing.
“You’re coming with me.”
He froze in his tracks just as he reached out to touch Nyoko when suddenly she turned into a rock.
“Substitution jutsu, but why can’t I move?”
The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end as a female voice spoke to him from behind.
“You can’t move because I’ve paralyzed your body. With the help of the seal I placed on your neck in the forest. You thought you had won when you stole that kiss from me, but all you did was step right into my trap.”
Joben Toehei’s eyes narrowed in anger as he tried to move to get a good look at Chiyo.
“You, but how? I killed you! There was no way for you to escape the sand, not without all of those shuriken cutting you into pieces. Just who are you?”
Chiyo kept two of her fingers pressed against the mark she had placed on his neck.
“Hmm, I was wondering something about you too. How was it now that you even made it to be a Jonin? Let alone a shinobi. If I am going to kill someone I stay and make sure they’re dead, or they might just come after me.”
“As for who I am, I’m the Third Eye ninja. As for who I am really, you really don’t need to know that.”
Joben just smirked at her.
“Is that what you plan on doing to me, opening your third eye?”
Chiyo returned his smirk to him.
“No, I’m not. You’re not even worth opening my third eye on. I have something else planned for you.”
Chiyo was taken aback as Joben started to laugh.
“You think you’re so smart, but you haven’t really done anything to impress me. When my back up gets here you’ll be finished.”
There was no hiding the smile that appeared on Chiyo’s lips.
“Really? By back up do you mean these guys?”
In an instant four copies of Chiyo appeared each one was holding onto an unconscious ninja from the village hidden in the sand. With just the snap of her fingers the four clones disappeared in a cloud of smoke only to be replaced by four of Chiyo’s ninja dogs: Sato, a large white female dog, Kaori, a big black wolf hound, Tetsu, a small grey cocker spaniel and, of course, Hige.
“Sorry, but it doesn’t look like you’re going to have any back up to back you up.”
Joben couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“That’s impossible! How were you able to do that, with your dogs no less? What…what kind of Shinobi are you?”
Chiyo tapped her chin as if she needed more time to think before she spoke.
“I’m one of a kind of course, just like any Shinobi should be. There is no one else just like me and that is the way it is supposed to be.”
All four dogs growled and showed their teeth as they started to close in on the sand ninja. Joben had something up his sleeve. He was after all a Snake and Chiyo knew already that Snake were the worse to deal with. So just what was he thinking? If she wanted to know, she would have to focus her chakra more if she was going to see it.
Then, in a flash, she saw it, but she couldn’t risk him knowing that she was aware of his plan.
“Nyoko, get down now!”
