Click here for information on ranks and other designations.

Name: Motoko Uchiha a.k.a. ANBU "Hikaru".
Age: Two years younger than Itachi.
Hair: Purple.
Eyes: Indigo.
Village: Raised in Konoha.
Rank: Jonin - ANBU hunter/cooking nin.
Team: Motoko (Sensei) - Minako (Team leader) - Kei - Urumi (deceased).
Elements: Wind, Water and Fire.
Strongest Chakra Alignment: Wind.
Jitsu specialty: Mainly Genjitsu and Ninjitsu, some Taijitsu.
Bloodline limit: Motoko's bloodline limit allows her to fully manipulate the nature of her chakra. This means she can create any number of shapes and objects (e.g. blades, fists, restaints, walls and other barriers) and she has a large chakra reserve. It requires a high level of chakra control.
Weakness: Chakra draining techniques/items.
Bio: Motoko is Itachi and Sasuke's adopted sister. Their mother raised her from a baby and she graduated as a Chunin the year after Itachi. She shares Sasuke's dream to restore their clan but is less than eager to join his quest for revenge. Motoko is in love with Itachi. She has a lot of scars on her body and a long scar on the bottom of her cheek. Despite this, she's still very attractive and popular with the men of Konoha. Motoko was teacher to a team of ninjas. Her ANBU mask is a red-horned demon face.

Name: Minako Hino a.k.a. "Angry Boar"
Age: A year younger than Motoko.
Hair: Orange.
Eyes: Hazel.
Village: Konoha.
Rank: Jonin.
Team: Motoko (Sensei) - Minako (Team leader) - Kei - Urumi (deceased).
Elements: Earth and Fire.
Strongest Chakra Alignment: Earth.
Jitsu specialty: Taijitsu and Genjitsu.
Bloodline limit: Minako's bloodline limit temparally doubles her chakra when it goes below 1/4 (so she gets twice the full amount she had before battle) but sends her into an unstoppable rage until her chakra is exausted.
She doesn't have as much chakra control as the others so when in this bloodline limit is activated, she often loses most of the chakra out of rage.
Weakness: Her temper interfeering chakra control and the uncontrollable nature of her bloodline limit.
Bio: Minako bears a resemblance to Ino and is rather like her personality wise, sharing her patronising and stuck-up attitude. Minako joined Motoko's three man team out of jealousy of Motoko's power and to prove she was a bad teacher. Minako was partly proved wrong by Motoko's efforts to get her team to function as a unit but partly right by the unauthorised mission that caused Urumi's death. Minako and Motoko have a similar relationship to that of Sakura and Ino.

Name: Kei Mizuno a.k.a. ANBU "Merry Bear".
Age: A year younger than Motoko.
Hair: Dark blue.
Eyes: Grey.
Village: Konoha.
Rank: Tokubetsu Jonin - ANBU medical nin.
Team: Motoko (Sensei) - Minako (Team leader) - Kei - Urumi (deceased).
Elements: Earth and Water.
Strongest Chakra Alignment: Water.
Jitsu specialty: Medical jitsu and Taijitsu.
Bloodline limit: None.
Weakness: Genjitsu.
Bio: Kei was the least promising of Motoko's three man team but she persisted in tutoring him and he became a Jonin, specialising in medical jitsu. His idleness is rather like that of Naruto Uzumaki. He's also often tardy, like Kakashi Hakate. He wears a smiling bear face ANBU mask.

Name: Urumi Tenoh.
Age: N/A (deceased).
Hair: Blond.
Eyes: Hazel.
Village: Konoha.
Rank: Chunin.
Team: Motoko (Sensei) - Minako (Team leader) - Kei - Urumi (deceased).
Elements: Wind and Lightning.
Strongest Chakra Alignment: Lightning.
Jitsu specialty: Taijitsu and Ninjitsu.
Bloodline limit: Unknown.
Weakness: Unknown.
Bio: Urumi was killed on an unauthorised mission to track down Itachi, led by Motoko. Urumi bore a resemblance to Sakura Haruno. Urumi was eager to learn anything Motoko would teach her. Rather like Sakura, Urumi had a firey temper. She failed the Jonin exam due to non-attendance, since she wanted to take her exam with Kei and Minako. Urumi wanted to be Hokkage. She also had flawless chakra control.

As Sasuke made his way towards the Konoha Ninja Academy, he turned around, sensing a presence. Sasuke lept up into a nearby tree and confronted the girl, dangling from the branch above where he had landed. She had long purple hair in a lazy ponytail, dark, indigo eyes and a grin on her face.

"You forgot breakfast, niisama!" She chirped "It's the most important meal of the day!"

"I refuse to eat garlic soup for breakfast!"

"Awww, but niisama is being spoilt! You shouldn't waste leftovers!"

"I never ask for you to make enough garlic soup but you make it anyway."

"Then what would niisama like for lunch tomorrow? I'd offer the soup but - "

"Bento! Just a bento!" Sasuke sighed. "I'll be late for class if I don't go now." He jumped out of the tree and walked into the building.

"Awww, niisama is sooo coooool!" She cooed which caused Sasuke's face to turn bright red.

"A-NE-KIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!" He turned around but the girl had gone.

((You can't have Darkness and Light as elements and the choices are limited to (in order of what gets pawned by what): Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth and Wind (Fire beats Wind; Water beats Fire; Lightning beats Water; Earth beats Lighting; Wind beats Earth). However he could have Lightning for light based attacks and advanced Genjitsu for darkness? And you've just reminded me to put Motoko's elemental alignment - you know when they hold the special paper? Also I should profile Kei, Urumi and Minako at some point!))

Naruto and Sasuke glared at each other over lunch.

"You're so lucky, Sasuke! She's beatiful AND she makes your lunch!" Naruto moaned.

"Why thank you Naruto!" Sakura said. Oblivious to the fact Naruto meant Sasuke's sister and not her.

"You think I'm lucky! Would you want to eat GARLIC SOUP for lunch!?"

"G-Garlic soup?" She stammered. "But I made... onigiri... AHHH!"

"Why are you screaming, did you eat your own cooking?" Ino taunted.

"N-no! INO-PIG! Sasuke-kun had a beatiful girl make his lunch! Garlic soup!"

"Whatttt?!!?!?!?!" Ino and Sakura both started squabling over who it could be and the quality of Sakura's cooking.

"What are those two going on about now..." Sasuke mumbled, a little flustered.

"I think they might be jealous of Motoko-chan..." Naruto whispered. Sasuke pulled a strange face.

Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba came over.

"I'll eat that soup if you don't want it..." Choji said. Sasuke handed it over then bit into one of Sakura's abandoned riceballs.

"Urgh... salty... they're not even the right shape..."

"So who is this beatiful girl that made your lunch?" Kiba asked, grinning a long, toothy grin.

"None of your business and who said she was beatiful!!!" Sasuke didn't like to talk about his sister.

"Ahhh... I see..." Shikamaru said.

"See what?" Sasuke replied.

"She's your wife."

"SHE IS NOT MY WIFE!"

"Sasuke-kun's MARRIED?" Ino and Sakura suddenly blurted out.

"You guys really don't know her?" Naruto said, interrupting the chaos.

"You do?" Shikamaru asked.

"Sure. Motoko-chan's a really beatiful ninja..." Naruto sighed dreamily.

"That settles it! She's my new rival!" Sakura announced.

"Congratulations, Sasuke-kun!" All the girls chorused as he recieved his Konoha band.

"What's the big deal? Everyone passed." He responded. As he took a step towards the gate to leave, Motoko came around the corner, dressed in her favourite purple kimono with a sakura pattern.

"Well done, niisama! I heard you passed with top marks!"

"Of course I did. Naruto is the only student to fail." Motoko looked behind her and saw Naruto sitting on the swing and looking grouchy.

"I'll be right back..." She told Sasuke and walked over to talk to him. "Naruto-kun. I'd tell you if you did your best, that it's okay... but it's not, is it?"

"I failed. I'm the worst ninja in the world! I'll never be Hokkage now..."

"I don't think that's true. There are worse ninjas."

"Like who? Name one!" He saw Motoko's face change from her usual sunny smile to a rather melancholy expression.

"You'd hate me if I told you." Naruto became puzzled...

I'd hate her? But I could never hate Motoko-chan!. I wonder what she meant?

Motoko poked her head around the door. Her heart was secretly pounding under her kimono. He keeps in touch with Itachi...?! "You know Itachi-kun? Ah... I should introduce myself! I'm Uchiha Motoko. you might recognise my name. H-How is he... these days?" She stammered. I wonder if Itachi ever DID talk about me? It's strangely... exciting!

"Is niisama hurt?!" Motoko said suddenly.

"Yes!" He said, revealing a few scratches. "I need to train harder... incase I meet that man again..."

Somewhere far away from Konoha, two cloaked figures sit at a table, eating sweet ricecakes.

"You sure have a sweet tooth, Itachi-kun." One person said, both wore straw hats and their faces couldn't be fully seen, but his was definately a shade of blue.

"I think it's her fault. She always loved them..." The other person replied. He had purple nail polish and a red ring could be seen on his finger, on the opposite finger to his partner's and a different colour. His long, silky black hair sat under his cloak, tied in a lazy ponytail.

"I wonder if I will get to see your sister again? She was very pretty..."

"Be careful, Kisame-kun." Itachi replied.

"Is that a threat?!" His scaley comrade chuckled.

"I don't think Motoko-chan would return your advances."

((Ahhh... what happens first? Gaara coming to Konoha or Orochimaru biting Sasuke?))

"I'm your teacher, Katake Kakashi."

"It's been a long time, Kakashi-kun!" Motoko said.

"It's been a long time, Motoko-chan." He replied.

"Huh? You two knew each other?" Sakura asked.

"Motoko-chan was a Jonin who lead an ANBU unit at one point..."

"You mean, she isn't still in ANBU?" Sasuke asked.

"No, no, I still am." Motoko told them. "I just don't have any offical status anymore and I only work directly on the Hokkage's authority. Otherwise it's not an authorised mission."

"Why didn't you ever tell me that?" Sasuke asked his sister. She looked down at the ground.

"You were already so angry that I'd left... I didn't want you to be embarrassed as well!"

Kakashi stared at the siblings. So she didn't tell him about what happened 5 years ago? She must still be trying to protect herself... protecting her image in Konoha.

Yup and I'm not bothered about that razz

"No one said anything did, Zero-chan!" Motoko giggled.

"Did she just say chan?" Zero asked Kakashi, twitching.

"Everyone gets a nickname." Kakashi said, in a tone that made Zero sure he had one too...

Motoko was crouched by a tombstone, humming as she polished it...

"Mmmmhmm hmmm... there you go, Urumi-kun! Nice and clean!"

"I don't think Urumi-chan would mind if her stone gathered a bit of moss..." Muttered a girl with hazel, pupiless eyes and almost flurencent orange hair.

"Of course she would! Urumi-kun was a perfectionist. That's why her chakra control was so excelent!"

"If she was such a perfectionist then why'd she agree to join such a vague mission..." A boy with lazy grey eyes and dark blue hair responded in a unnecessarily poetic tone from the face on the girl with orange hair. It was a look of anger and exasperation.

"Everytime! Everytime! Everytime you come!" She said in fast sucession. "Why can't you ever say anything nice about her Kei!"

"Kei-chan..." Motoko said softly. Kei flicked back his hair and walked away, carelessly tossing a small wild flower he'd picked at the grave. The tombstone inscription read:

Tenoh Urumi

Never underestimate your enemy
