Naruko felt humiliated. She had trained all this time to go find Sasuke and rescue him from Orochimaru, but the first time she takes a small-time gig from Tsunade is when she had to run into *her*. It was something out of a nightmare, and long since suppressed when she was younger; the face of the Fox Witch, Kuroko.
 
When she was younger, she had wandered away from the Village in the midst of one of her usual bouts of rebellious tantrums. She was tired of being berated and isolated, wish

It
had been a full week since Naruto had faced off against the dreaded
Kakuzu. In that time he had healed from his self-sustained injuries
of using Rasen Shuriken, but was told by Sakura not to do any

wasn't feeling swell. Not that he didn't enjoy his birthday

mayor of Konohagakure. There was everything he wanted...well, almost
everything. Cake, presents, congratulations on his past graduation
once again and everyone excited that he was entering a new chapter in
his life. There was one person who was absent, and had been past

Sakura
was tasked with finding something deep within Konoha. An urban myth
of a meteorite colliding into an abandoned village led her out here
after some expected travelers had gone missing. Even a handful of
Shinobi had vanished without a trace causing word of concern. Wishing
to go help before panic arises she went out alone to provide medical
assistance and use her own combat experience in this unnerving
threat. However if she had concerns its related to the Otsutsuki
threat that had caused h
