Chapter Text
Tenzo slowly crept around the streets of the Hidden Sand, though he was sure the guards had noticed by now. Even if he had been on business for Kazekage it still felt strange to be walking around another village. He didn't want to take any chances.
As he entered the building, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of monster could be so terrible that the Sand would actually turn to the Hidden Leaf for help. The two had never really gotten along and most Kage would have been too prideful to go to other villages for help.
And that wasn't even the strangest part. The Kazekage had specifically asked for him, well actually he asked for someone with wood style. Could it be a tailed beast? No that didn't make sense, he was sent to kill this monster and there was no way he could actually kill one of those.
Well, he had accepted the mission no reason in dwelling on it now. He slowly pulled out a kunai as he reached the door. If it had been made of wood he could simply slip through it but this door was made of a heavy metal mostly for keeping inside whatever was in there.
Tenzo hesitantly opened the door. The room was almost pitch black making it hard to see. Lucky years of Anbu work had sharpened his vision enough for him to make out the room. He looked back and forth for any signs of life. His eyes finally land on a small movement from under the bed.
"Stay away" A voice called out. Some things was off, that voice it sounded very young. Tenzo ignored the warning and stepped closer to get a better look. What he saw made the Shinobi's blood run cool. Under the bed, cowering in fear, was a small child with red hair.
