I am soooo sorry about the wait, and the length.
I have been planning this chapter for EVER! It was the main reason I wanted to even write this story.
I do not own Naruto, only Harmony, and her flute, no stealy the flute. Mine flute.
Oh yeah, you guys should check out shygirl12354, she is starting to write a fanfic, and it's really good so far (in my option.)
On to the story!
-------------------------
Chapter 12:
White rabbits gave away that you were there, dummy. -_-"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here we are, walking on a dirt road towards the land of wave, just walking. Walking and taking in the beauties of nature. Well everyone one else but me. I swear my nerves were fried, either that or I would get whiplash by how fast my hard was turning from left to right, looking the forest on each side.
"What the hell are you doing Harmony?" Naruto asked from beside me. I stopped my head for a seconded and faced Naruto.
"Nothing, I'm just nervous I guess." I answered him.
"Oh, sorry, I never seen you like this so I thought something was wrong." Naruto said back, scratching the back of his head.
"I sorry for bothering you then. Hey do you want me to play some music. Playing always calms me down, and if I'm making you nervous, maybe it will calm us both down." I pulled out my flute as I was talking to him and showed him it. Naruto nodded his head in agreement. I put my flute to my mouth and started to play a sweet little tone, one song that I made myself, and Rin's favorite. She all ways the way the notes flowed together and how tension disappeared when played. I played for maybe for 2 straight minutes till a single tear rolled down my face. I stopped my song shortly and hung my head, overwhelmed with emotions and memories. I knew someone was going too asked, but I prayed that they wouldn't. I don't know if Sakura saw my face and wanted to answer my prayers, or she just had really good timing.
"Sensei, are there ninjas in the land of waves." Sakura asked Kakashi. Kakashi started to go off about the ninja-less country, but I couldn't pay attention. All I could think about was my old team, and my family, and how everyone was killed. 'Why? Why was everyone killed!? Why?!' I yelled in my head. My fist were closed and more tears joined the first, as the made a small steam on my cheeks. My head was turned from the rest of the group, so I thought no one would see me like this. I continued walking a head of everyone till I felt on my shoulder. I whip my head to see whose hand was there; when I turned I saw cold black eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked in a low whisper. I hung my head once again.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about my old team and my family." I whispered back, lifting his hand from my shoulder and wiping my face free of tears. ‘I can't let anyone see me like that, ever again. Seeing me like that makes people asked questions, questions I don't think I would handle answering.' I thought. I put my flute away and looked ahead. Nothing looked out of order, nothing but a small puddle in the middle of the road, a road that hasn't received rain in weeks. I quickly turned to look at Kakashi. He nodded his head but stayed quite, but his eyes, or eye said it all. "I know. Act like normal. Don't let them know that we know." I nodded my head in understatement, and walked towards Tazuna, and stayed right beside him. Tazuna gave me a weird look for my sudden movement, I didn't bother to look at him, and I just kept looking straight ahead, and waited for the ambush.

Luckily, I didn't have to wait long. They (the idiots that think they can hide in a puddle) tried to ambush us the moment the last person walked by. Sakura and Naruto both looked shocked and scared at the sudden attack, and Sasuke looked indifferent, but pulled out a kunia and shuriken. I got out my flute and broke it in half to reveal the weapon half of it. I stood in front of Tazuna to protect him, with my kunias raised. That took all but 2 maybe 4 seconds. I wasn't planning on moving from this spot, unless someone got hurt. I looked to where Kakashi was and my eyes widen in shock and I froze in fear. Kakashi was wrapped in chains by the two ninja, and I looked up just as they pulled on the chain and killed Kakashi.
"No. No. No! NO!" I yelled. I willed my legs to move, but nothing happen. I was frozen. Frozen at the sight of seeing the last person that I held dear to me get killed. I know most people would get really mad and beat the people who did that senseless, but I just froze, looking at the spot where he was attacked. My legs buckled from beneath me, and I once again, felt tears on my cheeks. I know that a battle was going on with the rest of my team, but I don't care. My little fang was gone and I was alone now. My hands moved to cover my face as I whispered his name, nickname, my brother's, my grandfather's, mothers and fathers. My sensei’s and my team's name. The last names to leave my mouth was Kushina's and Minato's once again, before I fell to the ground unconscious
--------------FF-----------------
I woke up a little while later. I didn't know where I was or why I was a sleep. I looked down beside me and saw water. All of a sudden the memory of what happen came rushing back. The ambush. Kakashi getting killed. Me being unable to do anything and falling to the ground. I whipped my head around and saw everyone staring at me. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Tazuna, the guy driving the boat, and Kakashi. 'KAKASHI?!' I did a double take. Kakashi just gave me a closed eye smile and gave me a peace sign.
"Yo." Now it was my turn to stare. How could I believe? I saw the two ninja pull him apart with the chains. And really? Yo? When did he ever say Yo?
"W-What happened?" I asked.
"Well after the ninjas attacked, they ended up going for Tazuna. So the mission is really a B rank, not a C rank, and there will most likely be tougher ninja up ahead." Kakashi explained. I nodded my head, and looked back out at the water. Thinking over what he just said.
"Wait if it's a B rank mission, why did he say it was C rank?" I asked.
"Well we were just talking about that before you woke up. If you may, please continue, Tazuna." Kakashi turned his head to him. I turned my head also, but not before seeing the rest of team 7 still staring at me.

"Well the land of waves is a poor country, that is why I am building a bridge, to help the people here, but there is someone trying to kill my, a man that cast a short and frightening shadow over us. His name is Gato."
"Gato?" Kakashi asked.
"Who’s Gato sensei?" Sakura asked. I was wondering the same thing. 'Who is Gato, never heard of him.' Kakashi started to explain about who this Gato was. I gathered that he owns a shipping company, like money, dis-likes not making money, he'll kill anyone who stops him for making money (Tazuna and the bridge,) and he is really short. I only listen to a little bit of it because half way through I looked around and saw Naruto's hand in a bandage. I being the older sister, sorta, rushed over to him to make sure he was all right.
"Naruto what happened to your hand?! What happened?!" I pretty much yelled at him. Naruto's eyes got really big, and he backed up a little. ‘I think I scared him...' A sweat drop formed on my head. I stood up carefully and sat down beside him and took his bandage hand, carefully unwrapping it. When the bandage was off what I saw was... nothing, nothing but a perfectly good hand. I raised my head and gave him an evil look that said 'Explain yourself mister.'
"So tell me Naruto. Why the hell is your hand bandaged if there is nothing wrong with it?!" I almost yelled at him again, and scaring him again.
"Ummmm, well you see, during the ambush, one of the guy got my hand with a poison claw, so to get rid of the poison, I kinda stabbed my hand with a kunia, and I made an oath to never lose in a fight again with the pain...” Naruto said very scared.
"WHAT!!!" I yelled this time, someone shhhhed me, but I didn't listen. "You idiot, you could have killed yourself, what the hell were you thinking!? Just you wait until-" Someone's gloved hand cut my rant off. I looked up to see who cut me off with a glare, which also was cut off when I saw it was Kakashi.
"What were you about to say?" Kakashi whispered in a warning tone to me. I thought about what I was going to say. 'Wait until Kushina and Minato-sensei hear about this, little brother.' My eyes widen in realization. I can't say anything about Naruto's parents, my old team, or my connection; well I can't without getting questions fired at me. I removed Kakashi's hand from my mouth, and moved back to Naruto, taking the bandage from him and folding it up.
"Sorry for yelling at you Naruto, I didn't mean to act like that." I said to him.
"It's no problem Harmony. Believe it." Naruto said, using his little catchphrase. I couldn't help but give a little giggle to that, making Naruto blush. Sasuke and Sakura once again gave me a weird look, and once again, I ignored them. I looked up to see the giant bridge above us.
"Hey Naruto, look at that." I said, pointing to the bridge above.
"WHOAAAAA!!!!!!!"Naruto yelled, earning him a shhh to.
"SHHHH! Why do you think we are traveling on a boat with no motor?" The boat driver said, looking and the pair of us. Naruto and I both said a quick apology and sat down quickly. It didn't take very long after that to reach the shore. We all got out and Tazuna thanked the boat guy for taking us. Just before he left, he gave both Naruto and I glares. I quickly turned around and started to walk away. Little while later, everyone was walking, well almost. Naruto was throwing kunias into random bushes acting like someone was there.
"Naruto, will you cut it off!" Sakura angrily said to him, but Naruto keep throwing his kunias.
"No over there!" He said before throwing another kunia into bush.
"Naruto!" Sakura said in an irritated tone. Naruto went to see what was in the bush and found a snow white rabbit.
'Wait a rabbit? Its coat is still white. That means it was a substitution!'
"Everyone get down!" Kakashi and I yelled at the same time, just as a huge honking sword came through the air, before lodging itself into the tree in front of us. I slowly got off the ground and looked at the sword, and the person now standing on the sword.
"You know, the white rabbit kinda gave you away. Dummy."
------------------------------------------------
There is Chapter 11! I was planning on making it longer, but I felt like ending the chapter there, and if you are wondering the thing with Naruto and Harmony, she was acting like an over-protective sister, like she promised to Minato and Kushina.
MWAHAHAHAAHA! I love Foreshadowing, even if it was really small, and if anyone knows what I am talking about in this chapter, I applauded you, and give you a cookie of your choice!
I promise to work on the next chappie soon, okay?

Descendants of Cosmia
Reefa, Wellor, Rozo and Auri are four teenagers trying to get through life living in a village surrounded by the barren sands of the Hariq Desert; a village isolated from the walls of the 9 Monarchs of Cosmia. The world that lies beyond the walls involves the social segregation between humans and Haaras. Haaras are people with the ability to control elements of water, air and earth, whilst humans cannot obtain this power at all. Reefa had always thought of herself to be a human with no type of elemental wielding. However, after many reoccurences throughout her childhood in which she hears the voices of people that speak in the future, she has doubts about who she really is inside. The same phenomenon happens when she is 15 years-old, but this time the voices she hears alerts her of a future attack that will happen to the people of her village. When the time had come, Reefa and her friends escape their predicament and travel to the east towards the land of dragons known as Tetranazia. Bearing in mind the last words her aunt told her with a heavy heart, she must protect her friends from the dangers ahead and venture into the walls to search for the answers of the attack. This is an original English light novel (OELN). There will be several visuals of characters and world-building as you read this novel. The story's genre is mainly Shonen-influenced Josei and Fantasy. Do note that the story is slow-paced in development, so it might not be to your liking. I'll be updating 2 new chapters every month on the 25th (SGT).(I'm doing it monthly because I have to consider the pile of college workload I have (;_;) and I'll need extra time on drawing the illustrations) Occasionally, I'll do Bonus Releases, where I release more than 2 chapter in the next monthly update Feel free to give me feedback on my story. I will very much appreciate it! (ノ´∀`) I created this story on Scribble Hub, so you can also check it out over at their platform.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.
