Peace? Profiler Incidents

Tsunade sipped her sake.

Rosanna's ability is so darn convenient.

She gave her and a few people Tsunade chose the ability to see who's 'Hollow' and who's not to determine ROOT members in the village, but it led to a whole can of worms as some of them were even from clans who got secretly recruited at a young age. While the orphans are easily explained away as to how Danzo has his own damn army, it doesn't explain how he slips past almost all clans he even has a Hyuuga...and they learned that he approaches them as kids and slowly but surely changes their fucking allegiances that did NOT sit well with the clan heads. Especially with how persuasive he was!

Rosanna was then made to wish that the adult ROOT forget the child trainees so they could rescue the trainees before they're 'completely Hollow'. That, and Rosanna is to erase all forms of information about them and her in ROOT, including memory that tired the poor girl into unable to use her powers for a few days. The kids are to be rehabilitated off of their Indoctrination and habits gained from the organization. It helps that they know oh-so-much...

That was before information could leak to outsiders so the girl is very very safe with the Akimichi.

All in a good day's work, they managed to avert disaster as Rosanna's power has great potential to be a big good...and a big bad if she was forced to do it by intimidation as she was from an abused background.

However, something good came out of it.

Uchiha Sasuke.

According to Naruto, he changed. From being a broody guy to overprotective over Rosanna, like a big brother to little sister he finds it cute...not that he'd say it to his face! He mellowed out in fact!

Now, how to deal with the problem called Orochimaru's lackeys...

She can just imagine the looks on their faces when they go back to that snake empty-handed!

'Guys, we got five days to make Konoha an airtight ship so no Snake-boy-gopher can get in here!' she told her invisible bodyguards. 'Bring me the ANBU Commander, Ibiki and Shikaku, now. We can't make a child do all the work for us, that's inhumane and immoral.' she said. 'We're not monsters damnit.' she grunted.

That indeed happened five days later.

'What, is the meaning of this?' Orochimaru hissed as the lid to the sealed box was opened, it was empty. Instead, it had a sack of rice in it equivalent to the weight of their quarry.

'What the fuck?! Sakon, didn't you make him take the drug before we stuffed him in here?' Tayuya sputtered out.

'We did!' Sakon cried. 'We also didn't give him the chance to resist! Its him we stuffed in here, how the hell did a sack end up in his place?!'

Needless to say terrified screams ensued later...as Orochimaru didn't believe in their excuses.

Konoha...

Life was peaceful...

As peaceful as it can get in the Hyuuga Compound wherein the clan had to take turns in shifts by day and by night, Byakugan Active because they're currently protecting two kids. One with unusual powers and the other whose eyes were keys to one man's ambition.

They were easy to manage at least.

The girl doesn't like scary people, and Sasuke keeps to himself while watching over Rosanna. Rosanna was growing flowers in the backyard with permission...the plants seen in the orphanage...berries that grow in shrubs, fruit that grow in vines and produce that can be eaten raw. That, and she still has to go to the hospital to determine what can enable her to eat solids again. As Rosanna doesn't understand her situation and condition, she couldn't wish for a solution. She can only wish for what she knows and understands and given how veeeery limited her knowledge was beyond her civilian education...her knowledge of the world was near non-existent as she was never allowed to go beyond school and 'prison' that was her relatives.

She also lacked worldly common sense that's both funny and not as she would end up getting into trouble with it due to her sheer curiosity.

It was thus the task of Team 7 and 8 to teach her what a girl her age should know in how to be a girl and have common sense under supervision from their Jounins. It also helps that she was a sweet, innocent, naive girl that doesn't fear anything that wasn't her relatives or people with similar personalities.

After three weeks, they were OK to go home again.

'Sooo Sasuke...you've seen to mellow out nicely this past month. Rosanna's doing you good it seems.' Kakashi smiled. 'You're smiling.'

'...if she can move on so easily after her ordeal...why was it so hard for me?' Sasuke wondered. 'She has something I don't.' he said as this got Kakashi curious. 'When I asked her how she can move on so easily after years of abuse...its because she said that things will always change for the better but you have to make the first step forward. She was aware of her powers her relatives called 'freakiness' and used it as a gamble that actually worked because the beatings were so bad she felt she might die.' Sasuke growled at the very idea before calming back. 'She was in another world, she said.'

'Pardon?!' Kakashi squawked before looking thoughtful. 'Now that you mentioned it, one of her schoolbooks and her bag have geography maps that's different from our maps...there could be continents beyond our own or its actually another world entirely is up in the air. The T&I still has her schoolbooks they're probably having a field day with it by now. I'll go ask Hokage-sama about it.'

'I guess...now back to my main point earlier, she took a leap of faith with her power...and here she is with people who rescued her and giving her a better life. She was so happy she looked forward to living every day with freedom.'

'Well, take a page off her book, Sasuke.' Kakashi patted his shoulder. 'Sometimes, the best revenge is to live well and not do things what he expects you to do. Do the exact opposite and be the better man in the end. Life as a criminal definitely is not easy. A life of looking over your shoulder forever, not a moment of peace. Then there's you who can afford to sleep soundly, and no constant danger behind your back in fear of a Hunter who'd cash your body for a bounty and people around you who has your back covered. In the end, you're better off. And that's exactly what Rosanna is doing. Now that she's far away from her nasty folks, she is happy to have the life she wants.' Kakashi smiled. 'She's happy here.'

'...'

'I heard something interesting from the exclusive grapevine just now.' said Jiraiya as he paid Tsunade a visit. 'You sure got into a goldmine in just a month from your first day at work.'

'No kidding.' Tsunade griped. 'At least we got to the problem on time before it escalated.' she grunted with a scowl. 'Well, don't you want to meet her? Rosanna.'

'Yeah, I'm interested.' Jiraiya grinned. 'If she worked a miracle on Uchiha-boy she can work a miracle with our knucklehead.' he chuckled before going serious. 'Its starting to get dangerous I need to know things even Kakashi may have missed.'

'I see...she lives with the Akimichis again after a nice vacation with the Hyuuga and also takes care of a vegetable garden...the way she does it makes for nice drinking snacks.'

Jiraiya went to the Akimichi Residence to meet Rosanna.

She was the most charming little girl he's ever met and cute.

However...

'About Naruto-nii huh...' Rosanna frowned. 'He grew up with nobody bothering to correct him about his ways so he thought 'it's OK' and I got quite the list of flaws to his name caused by his own environment and lack of upbringing thereof. The good thing is he's a pure-hearted, good person who's optimistic that there's more good than bad and he has shockingly good ideals considering if one is in his shoes, they'd have given up on the world ages ago and hate everything and lash out at anyone and anything.'

'I-is that so?' Jiraiya and Choji's parents were utterly disturbed.

'If you're gonna train him because of bad guys after him...'

'How'd you know that?!' Jiraiya gawked.

'Your body language and word choice alone and the fact that you're worried and anxious.' the adults stared in disbelief. 'That, and that's the only thing that came to mind when you asked me what I know of what he knows...he's just as bad as me in the Malnutrition department. Too much Ramen and all that sodium intake he'd have a stroke, heart attack, dementia and kidney disease at his twenties. Encourage him to eat foods good for him even if it meant icky vegetables as kids put it and lay it on thick that if he gets sick in his twenties from his poor choice of diet, he'd have to worry about living past his twenties first than being Hokage. Get him to eat healthy food to heal the damages done for at least ten years if he wants to live long for his dream job.' she snorted. 'He'll die young at this rate.'

'Ya don't say...' Jiraiya twitched. What was it with people saying she's sweet and innocent again? They clearly didn't look hard enough! 'What about his smarts?'

'He told me about his pranks but given the fact that we're in a ninja village from what everyone taught me, if you change typical pranking items for weapons and traps and access to the right tools of the trade, any small civilian village would be a goner long ago. It makes sense that nobody told him that he's a trap genius because of that scenario.' again, the adults choked. 'He's a trap genius had anyone told him but favors being up front and personal but clearly lacks skill as Sasuke-nii vouches it to be so as he deems basics so boring he wound up performing horribly yet wants to learn 'cool jutsu' but how are you gonna do that without even knowing 'beginners for dummies'? Even granny started out small, right?'

'But he improvises with what's available at hand in tandem with what he only knew, reckless about it and willing to gamble for it to the point of suicidal-stupid judging from jobs they had before. And one final thing...he wants acknowledgment real bad that even a simple praise even from an enemy makes him very happy and he's very eager to please and trusting to a fault that its very hard to betray or hate someone like him after long exposure to him that they'd choose him over what previous loyalty anyone has or for even enemies themselves to grow fond of him before slitting his throat because its professional with their pay on the line. I dunno what made him that way considering I hardly leave home due to my condition I hardly see him myself I only went by with their storytelling and what I saw in there.'

That, was morbid, they all thought. How'd a kid see what they haven't? That, and the brats unwittingly told a civilian kid military-exclusive info as Mission Details are to be within shinobi records and their own mouths only!

'I see...thanks for the input Rosa-chan.' Jiraiya smiled. 'I know what to do about that knucklehead now...but you sure have an interesting way of seeing things...' he said with a strained smile and a shudder.

'Given how I grew up you'd see things differently too from people who's got it good.' Rosanna said wryly, crossing her arms. 'To me who only knew bad things and the desire to survive...I see the world in another way but everyone's nice to me here...its proof that the world hasn't gone to the dogs if you look hard enough while walking through muck for it. Just fix the stuff I pointed out and he's all good but the tough parts will be Basics Remedial and getting him to give up Ramen. Pray to whatever god you know for that for help.' she snorted as Jiraiya sweatdropped.

'I see...thanks for everything Rosa-chan! I'm gonna run things legally by Tsunade and take the knucklehead with me!' Jiraiya grinned as he vanished.

'Rosa-chan, you'd do well in the T&I.' Chouza remarked thoughtfully. 'Your observation is both amazing and scary.'

'...well all I want is a peaceful life and a nice job without scary things as much as possible and being in the T&I is anything but.'

Chouza agreed, considering what goes on in there and Rosanna hated the place.

'...that's what she said about Naruto?' Tsunade twitched as Jiraiya relayed to her what the girl said about Naruto. 'Good grief, we got a damn profiler in that chibi! First a wishmaster, now a profiler too!' she exclaimed, utterly stunned that Rosanna summed up Naruto's character and what Jiraiya wanted to do.

'Apparently her being a profiler came from the crap that was her life.' Jiraiya said wryly. 'It enabled her to see what even we don't want to admit to ourselves and what people couldn't and wouldn't see. She sees the world and people in a different way and she can get a lot from what people have to say. Speaking!' he harrumphed. 'Genin told a civilian kid classified mission detail to a civilian! Heck, even Academy brats don't have access to such intel! What the hell are people teaching Genin these days?!' he complained unhappily.

'I'll have a talk with the sensei about that but first I'll run Naruto under a full physical before you drag the kid with you. Rosanna claims he's as bad as she was in malnutrition department with too much sodium, this I gotta see...probably only averted the diseases because of the fox but had it been any human, they'd be in hospital by now.'

'Riiiiight...I'll leave it to you to lay it on thick since you're the medic, not me.' Jiraiya grinned. 'Just help me spook him into eating healthy.'

Their grins were hilariously scary.

Her garden...

Rosanna was managing it as usual, wearing gardening boots instead of sandals in planting seeds by hand, after using her powers to weed out, mix compost into soil and plow. She wore a wide-brimmed hat, a shirt and overalls ending in shorts. She also has several logs for mushroom-growing.

Seeing a tiny little girl in a magically-growing garden would remind any who knew of her power that she's like a Koropokkuru.

That, and she has help harvesting a lot of the crops that grew on moist soil that barely needed watering made for tastier veggies as more flavor is concentrated in. How it turned out that way by withholding water, giving only enough not to wilt and making it possible is a mystery that's under research. But hey, the three clans and one Uchiha Sasuke is enjoying food with more savoriness in it that they actually had to readjust their cooking recipes if she's the one providing vegetables and mushrooms.

With a flick of her wrist, she reaps the ripe fruit and makes it appear in the baskets held by the Ino-Shika-Cho heads.

At home, Chankonabe was much more enjoyable with it.

Dinners in the Akimichi are heavily-leaning to calcium and protein, train like crazy to have large, strong and well-trained muscles, then eat in a way to lay it on thick with the fat. That way, their techniques leaning on heavy-hitting will damn hurt more plus an emergency chakra source via their three Forbidden Pills. And despite their...self-imposed condition, they're the LEAST likely to have clogged arteries and high blood pressure.

Yet those ignorant of that rationale see the clan as flabby fatties and it really harms their self-esteems so the F word and anything related to it, is taboo in the house.

If any, they were 'healthy-fat' in contrast to Vernon and Dudley's 'unhealthy-fat'.

Rosanna who still isn't used to solids had to puree hers and mix it into her rice that had to have twice the mushiness of okayu by solely wishing it. Still tasty, just weird looking and feels weird. But alas, such is her world that her bento when going out to play, is in a water canteen!

To blend in well in Konoha, her name was written in the native language by her guardians and filed properly. 'Ro'-road, 'San'-praise, and 'Na'-name. Road to a Praiseworthy Name. Potta was written in katakana. She enjoys a normal life with kind people, and free to live as she wished.

But one day...

She met a young man by the riverside while trying her luck at fishing.

He has kind eyes, but...

'ROSANNA! RUN!' came the panicked, frantic cry but it was the young man who vanished as Rosanna was scooped up by a frantic Sasuke who fled with her in his arms.

'I'm alright...he just got here actually.' Rosanna piped up but she saw fear, dread and anger in her first friend's eyes. 'Who's he? His fashion sense sucks.'

'Nevermind that,' Sasuke sputtered at her comment, clearly having no idea how close to danger she was. '...that guy...that guy...!' Sasuke growled in grief and rage. 'He destroyed our family! And now he's stalking you?!'

'H-huh?'

'...I swear, you two are trouble magnets.' Tsunade shook her head at the two children. 'Moreover, how the hell did he get past our new security?!' she swore in exasperation. 'ANBU! We're double-checking! Either we've had an inside job or he really found his own way in! Gather our Barrier Division!' she roared.

'Yes ma'am!'

'Rosa-chan, that guy you met...massacred his own family, leaving Sasuke as the sole survivor.' Tsunade told Rosanna grimly. 'I don't know why he came to see you but if you see him again, appear home immediately, got it?' she warned Rosanna.

'OK...'

'Why...why her?' Sasuke growled in anger. 'Rosanna, never leave for isolated places ever again! He could have done anything!' he cried, shaking her.

'K-kyaa!' Rosanna yelped from his grip and from being shaken. 'It hurts! Stop!' she cried panickingly and Tsunade, seeing this and considering her background...

'Sasuke, you're gripping and shaking her too hard!' Tsunade cried, separating the two. Sasuke realized what he just did and seeing the terrified girl, shaking.

'S-sorry...I'm sorry...' Ssauke whispered, hugging his sole morality pet. 'I just...I just can't lose anyone anymore...how did he find out about you? Do we have Sleepers in here or something?!' he swore furiously.

'We'll see about that.' Tsunade sighed. 'Somebody take Rosanna home.' she's clearly in no condition to use her power.

'I heard you met an interesting person.' Chouza asked as Rosanna was taken home by ANBU with Rosnna clinging to his leg.

'I didn't know who he is...Sasuke-nii was both angry and scared to the point of losing it it was scary.' Rosanna wilted into herself. 'But that guy with the lousy fashion sense...' Chouza and the ANBU choked at her choice words. 'He has kind eyes. You can't fake eyes like that...so if he's a kinslayer, why does he have kind eyes?'

'Kind eyes? Him?' the ANBU blurted incredulously. 'Considering what he's famous for?'

'Yup.' Rosanna nodded. 'I didn't know he's a criminal until granny just told me who he is.' she said. 'His eyes are also tired...like he's tired of everything.' she piped up. 'If he's a kinslayer, why have a kind tired face? You'd normally have a scary one...'

'Now that's a mystery...you're immune to genjutsu because of how your power works, you're not like us prone to genjutsu so yeah, why is he interested in you and how does he know who Sasuke associates with?' Chouza frowned.

'Sasuke-nii says we might have Sleepers...what's that?'

'Its complicated but they make effective spies.' said Chouza darkly. 'Looks like we have a busy month or so again...' he scratched his head. 'I'll leave with ANBU-san so stay home, alright? If you'll go to the garden, have mama with you at least.'

'OK.' and the two men are gone.

'...sigh...what's going on...' Rosanna sulked.

'Being a ninja is tough, considering all that's going on.' said Mrs. Akimichi with a somber smile. 'With your power, its tempting to bad guys but we don't know what his intentions are. Until we are sure, no going out alone until we're sure its safe, alright? Uchiha Itachi is beyond your big brothers and sisters' power. Too strong for them.'

'OK. I just hope Sasuke-nii is OK...'

Kakashi found himself faced with his furious student while going home from grocery shopping.

'Kakashi, I don't care how hard it is, give me everything you got in training!' Sasuke demanded. 'First Naruto and now Rosanna! Why is he going after people near me?!'

'...I'd like to hear about that...'

That, was news to him. He knew about Itachi going after Naruto but why Rosanna too? Unless...
