"What kind of answers are you hoping to find?" the woman asks, after observing Kakashi for a while.
"The reason why an unknown group is operating in the shadows of the Land of Fire," Kakashi says.
The woman acts surprised and somewhat indignant, "As far as I understand, the Land of Fire is controlled by the Daimyo; we are simply independent citizens, minding our own business. I don't recall having any conflict with any member of your village."
"Don't play innocent. We suspect multiple deaths in this and several other cities, clearly attributable to a group operating outside of normal authorities," Kakashi continues, his tone serious.
"Mmmmm, also outside of Konoha's jurisdiction. So far I haven't seen any orders from the Daimyo for combat against any foreign organizations." The woman's tone begins to turn serious, "Are you afraid of a little competition? Because let me tell you, we've eliminated a ton of foreign agents. Anyone would think Konoha isn't very good at this ninja work."
"Who are you?" the ninja asks, showing difficulty in following the woman's logic.
"Why won't you look me in the eye? What is Kakashi, the famous copy ninja, afraid of?" the woman says disdainfully.
Kakashi is surprised by the woman's words, not because of recognition of his name, but because she knows the man is apprehensive about looking her in the eyes.
The woman ignores the ninja's internal conflict and continues, "Let's get to the point. You are concerned about our presence, I can accept that, but there's nothing you can do about it. We have no intention of confronting anyone, but if you provoke us, expect harsh retaliation. We work for the interests of the common people and are perfectly independent of any formal power. Do you follow me?"
"...Something," Kakashi says, a little confused by the woman's strange way of accepting the situation.
The woman continues, "We don't interfere with Konoha's business, and you don't interfere with ours, blah blah blah. Do you understand where I'm going?"
"This isn't something I can decide, this is up to…" Kakashi tries to say.
But the woman interrupts him, "I don't care what your village thinks or does, I'm just stating a fact, if you interfere in our affairs again we'll be forced to interfere in yours, it's that simple. Let your Hokage be responsible for deciding what to do with this information… Now let's move on to what concerns us both."
The woman steps down from the window frame and proceeds to open her cloak, revealing black armor and two short swords at her waist, which are slowly unsheathed.
Kakashi immediately stands up, surprise on his face, but decisively puts himself on guard, a kunai in both hands and his sharingan revealed.
There's no time for words, as the woman immediately lunges at Kakashi, who takes position to block the swords. But to the ninja's surprise, the woman evades him and slams her swords into the corner of the room, revealing a new Kakashi who had been hiding.
The ninja blocks the blows of the swords with his kunais, while his clone attacks the woman with shurikens from behind, however these bounce off a kind of force field. The exchanges are swift, and the woman gives Kakashi no room to breathe.
Suddenly, one of the swords begins to emit energy and one of the ninja's kunai is cut from the base, a second cut is aimed at the ninja's face, but he disappears in a cloud of smoke, revealing a wooden log, a third cut eliminates the clone that was about to hit the woman's head.
The woman doesn't stop and opens her palm in a certain direction, unleashing a concentrated blast of wind, which reveals a stunned Kakashi, who is pushed against the wall. The man tries to recover and prepares to perform hand seals, but receives a powerful kick to the stomach.
The man attempts to counterattack with a punch, but his wrist is caught by the woman's hand. The man's other fist connects with her mask, resulting in the sound of cracking knuckles. Another sound of cracking bones is heard as the woman punches the man's captured arm.
Kakashi collapses to the ground on his knees, and the woman punches him in the stomach again, causing him to fall onto his back. The man can't bear the pain and begins to grunt while gritting his teeth.
The woman, without hesitation, drops her foot onto the man's only good hand, and again the sound of bones breaking is heard. The man holds back his urge to scream.
Kakashi can't take it anymore and looks at the woman's face, immediately noticing the red eyes through the mask, sharingans of three tomoes, bearers of incredible hatred.
The ninja attempts one last attack with his legs, but the woman, with extreme skill, manages to capture his foot, then kicks the man in the groin.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa" Kakashi can't take it anymore and lets out a cry of pain, while his battered body curls up on the ground.
"The disadvantages of being a man," the woman comments, then lifts Kakashi's head by his hair and begins punching him in the face.
"This is for ignoring my warning." The punches are getting fewer, but with more energy. "This is for your shitty village that allowed the massacre of my clan." You can feel the frustration in the woman's words. "This is for using an eye that doesn't belong to you, and this is because I don't like you."
The woman drops Kakashi's head to the ground and examines him closely. The ninja is completely defeated, but has no fatal wounds, although his face is unrecognizable and he is breathing heavily.
"Tell your Hokage and his bunch of shitty advisors that if they dare set foot in my domain without my permission, I will personally come and wipe out their clans. Each and every one of the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane, men, women, and children, no one will be safe from my wrath, the wrath of an Uchiha," the woman ends, threatening, delivering one last kick to the man's groin. "I saw your damn book, you fucking pervert."
The woman grabs one of Kakashi's feet and begins dragging him out of the building, with no regard for the man's health, as he hits his head on each step down the stairs. At the entrance of the building, they are met by a group of men who are guarding the female Anbu who tried to flee the city a few hours earlier. The woman is in good condition, but she is extremely surprised to see the condition of her squad leader, being dragged by the strange person in black, even suspecting that the man is dead.
"Captain!" the female Anbu shouts.
"Relax, your captain is a little tired and will need help getting back to Konoha. Would you be so kind as to help him?" says the woman in black and wearing a white mask.
Everyone present, including the female Anbu, is shocked by the definition of tired applied to the ninja on the ground, who can barely breathe and struggles to say, "You're crazy."
"Yeah yeah, fuck you too. You have half an hour to leave the city," the woman in black exclaims as she walks away from the scene, immediately followed by her subordinates.
The anbu woman can't believe what's happening and has no choice but to pick up her captain's body and immediately set course out of the city, "This isn't what I thought I'd end up doing when I joined this."
