Nue Houjuu is back and is badder than ever. Her wish has been fulfilled and now she's reaching for the next one. Nue has joined Akatsuki and wants to forget about her past while wanting to destroy Orochimaru, the man who ruined her life. Not only th...
I continued to sleep as I dreamed of Deidara until I felt someone reaching for my necklace. I quickly took out my gun and aimed it under the person's chin with my eyes still closed. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't pull the trigger." I said, coldly, before opening my eyes to see Sasuke kneeling beside me.
"What do you want, Uchiha?" I demanded as I stood up, the gun still aimed at him. "Tell me where Itachi is." He commanded. "How about "no" and dream on?" I said before punching him in the stomach. I jumped back and placed my finger on the trigger.
"I should kill you where you stand. But because of him... I won't." I said before putting my gun away. I turned around and took off into the sky. I tucked the locket necklace inside my shirt as I flew through the sky.
When I was far away from Sasuke, I stopped near the woods and landed on my feet. "Holy smokes! Nue, is that you?" I turned around and spotted Kakashi's ninja hound, Guruko.

I remember when I became chunin, I had Guruko and I became partners. On every tough mission we were assigned, we always had each other's back and fought side by side. I really enjoyed our partnership. "Hey, old pal." I greeted with a small smile.
"I thought you were dead. Man, you have no idea how much I want lick your face right now." Guruko said, making me chuckle. "I wouldn't mind if you did." I said. I kneeled down as he ran over to me. I hugged him softly as I closed my eyes with a smile.
"I've missed you so much, old friend." I said, softly. I let go of him and he looked at me. "How are you even alive? Why didn't you come back to the village?" Guruko asked. "I'm sorry, but I can't go back there. Not after what I've done." I said.
"What are you talking about? Of course you can come back. You're a comrade."
"You don't understand, Guruko. I can never go back there. I'm with Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki?!"
"It's a long story. Wait a second, what are you doing out here by yourself, anyway?"
"I'm not by myself. I'm with Akino and Shino."
"What?!"
I was too slow to react as bugs quickly surrounded me. "Shit." I murmured. "Do you remember me, Nue?" Shino asked as he stepped out from behind a couple of bushes. "What kind of question is that? Of course I remember you. You're only person I know who could control bugs." I said.
"It's nice to feel remembered by someone." He replied. "Sulking again, huh? You haven't changed a bit, Shino." I said with a deadpan expression. "Man, you smell like grass." Akino said. "And you smell like a dog." I shot back.
"Man, you sound a lot like Shino." Guruko sweat dropped. I did fall asleep on the ground earlier, so of course I smell like grass. "Are you going to kill me, or are you going to take me back to the village?" I demanded.
