NARUTO SEDAI - TEAM MIZU X TEAM KASAI (Part 2)

Karui slammed her small fist into the desk with such speed and power splinters shot across the room. In front of her stood stood her old team mates from Team Josei. She looked at them through the tears in her eyes, the traditional hat of the Hokage hiding most of her face from her friends. Tears hit the old wooden desk like bullets, the salty liquid quickly filling every small crevice that time had carved into the worn out desk.

"Karui ... don't do this to yourself. It was his ..." Karui slowly lifted her head, glaring at the pale face of Hyuga Yugura. She snapped, her blonde hair flowing violently behind her. "His ...? His choice? It certainly WASN'T his choice! As Hokage ... as a sister ... I told him to stay! And what did he do? Lead his whole team AGAINST the village!"

Yugura stepped forward to console her friend. "Karui ... please calm down." Karui now glared intently at her former teammate. Her dark hair fell down over her face, her pale eyes shone brightly in the rays of moonlight that streamed into the Hokage's chambers.

"Yugura, Natsuhi, Shikanoko." Karui stood up behind the old wooden desk, now staring down at the dusty brown surface as if to ask her predecessors for guidance. "We're bringing them back ... and if they disagree ... I will outlaw them all!" All three girls shared a deep gasp, looking at each other in confusion, and wondering what had driven their once cheerful friend into the state she was currently in.

Natsuhi stepped up. "Karui! You are not just a Shinobi anymore. YOU ARE THE HOKAGE! You cannot just leave the village in the middle of the night!" Karui snapped again. "You're right, Natsuhi ... I'm the Hokage. Which gives me all the more right to pursue Team Mizu. They are all rogue Ninja at this point ... and I would be neglecting my duties as Hokage if I didn't do something about them." Shikanoko, the youngest of the group, stepped towards the distressed Hokage. "Karui ... would you just listen to yourself? Your brother is the leader of Team Mizu. Your younger brother that you love so much ... Jiraiya. Yes ... Uzumaki Jiraiya! Would you so easily pronounce him a rogue ninja!?"

Karui turned and faced the windows of the round room the group was standing in, her teammates standing around her watching with concern. Karui turned around abruptly, her long blonde hair swinging around her as swayed. She smiled at her team, and acted as if she had forgotten what she was doing. "Come on guys, it'll be fun! Just like the good days back when we were a team!" The three girls on the other side of the room looked at each other, all sharing the same thought. Karui, sensing the horror on her friend's faces, turned serious once more. "All of you! Your HOKAGE is giving you an order!" The three girls shared one last concerned look, all thinking the same exact thing. She's gone ... completely crazy.
