Yooooo. Sorry it took so long to write! I didn't say it in my other story, I re-started my computer (ya know, erase everything and re-instal), and the stupid disket in where I put all my files DIDN'T take everything in. the stupid thing malfunctioned and … you can guess that everything got deleted. Yup. Had to rewrite every single damn word! Next time, I'm using my brothers USB.

Updating soon! (almost finished the next chapter) enjoy, REVIEW and see ya later!

Talk with the Hokage

Yuki and Kakashi walked up the stairs that led to the Hokage's Office. Kakashi read his book, the picture carefully tucked in his pocket. Yuki was right behind him. She had an un-easy feeling. Why?

Was it because of the stress? The suspense? No… it wasn't. She was just afraid to look into the eyes of truth… the Hokage. She was afraid to tell what happen since she was gone. And… her family…

She heard about it … rumors, news by travelers… But she did not want to believe, that everyone had died. She did not want to know… no…

"You okay Yuki?" said suddenly Kakashi, looking at her face expression " you look kind of pale"

" no, I'm fine… I guess it's the stress"

" okay… if you say so"

He knew that something was wrong, but didn't push it. He could feel the sadness emanating from her. Was it her family?

They finally reached the Hokage's office. Kakashi knocked on the large wooden doors.

" come in" they heard inside the room.

Kakashi opened the door, and went in dragging, Yuki with him.

" Ohayo Tsunade-sama. I brought Yuki as planed"

" Good work Kakashi-san. Hello Yuki-san" she said

Yuki bowed, but couldn't stop looking at her.

The new Hokage, The fifth. She heard about Tsunade, one of the sennin and "gold mine". In fact, her manager once gambled with her, and never really got back the money he won.

She looked carefully at her. She had long silky blond hair, tied in pigtails. A violet diamond shaped tattoo was on her forehead. She had deep brown eye, and pink lips. But what she was really looking at was her chest. She had heard about how she looked like, man talking about them, thinking that they were to drunk or adding a little white lie, but she couldn't imagine that it was big at they described it. She decided to stop looking… she felt like being a pervert to…

" Hello Hokage-sama…" she said, lifting her head back up " I'm here to show my presence back in Konoha…"

"You can talk to me with more ease you know" Tsunade answered her.

"H-hai."

" It's a honor to meet THE Yuki. I've heard a lot about you"

"Thank you. It's an honor to meet you to…"

Tsunade smiled and took out from her desk some papers. They looked old…

"The Sandaime talked about you. He left a note just incase they would die before you came back."

Yuki was a bit surprised. She couldn't think that he would waste their time juts of her…

" Yondaime left something behind to. A note from where you came from, which clan and parents…" she looked trough the papers… and had a bit of a surprised look on her face. She looked at Yuki, then back at the papers.

"I see… your father is form the Berserker clan and your mother… from the Uchiha clan..."

A long silence struck the room. Kakashi just merely kept quiet, but not taking his eyes (I mean eye) off Yuki. She at the time, had a un-easy moment. The moment she feared to live….

(Back to Tsunade)

Tsunade heard rumors on the berserker clan… That they had an amazing capability's when they could control the power that appeared in them… When the time needed it. But she didn't think that they're was a survivor. All of them being killed by Orochimaru… and she didn't think that they're was another survivor of the massacre of the Uchiha family… I get that if she left the village, it was okay, for she would have died if she stayed. But why did the Sandaime let her stay out of the village for this long?

" if you're asking yourself 'why did Sarutobi-sama let her out of the village for so long?' , it was a request. I asked him if I could search for my father's clan members…"

And something else…

Tsunade could sense that she wasn't telling all the truth to her. But she did not push the subject. It was already hard on the girl to remind her of all the death of her family…both of them.

" Naruhodo(I see)" she continued to read the papers " as I thought, the Sandaime let you free to move around, except if you told the secrets of the villages to others. But it seems like no"

She continued to look in the papers… changing in so and on.

" Well… everything seems to be in order… so you want to try out of become a ANBU member?" she asked

" Hai! It's my dream to become one! Since I was a kid." Yuki answered her, with more emotion

"I see… but why do you?"

Yuki stayed quiet for an instance. She looked down, and clenched her fists. She looked back up at Tsunade with more determination.

" I want to become the best ANBU that ever was. I want that when people remember me, they would think about my parents." She said this with much determination

Tsunade smiled at that. She was just like Naruto… As she read, she remembered about reading about her parents' death. Killed In Action… KIA… trying to stop Orochimaru. What a cruel death. They were truly heroes…

" All righty then. (I don't know if she says that…)You will be part of team 7 until you can try out for Anbu, or even Jouinin test. I will write your FULL name. Not just your name. I presume that you will be living at your old family house?"

" Yes. I still have the keys. " Yuki said as she took out a key from her pocket.

" Alright, the land of your mother and father is back to you, with all their belongings and money of course. As of now, you will be able to wear proudly once more your Konoha headband."

She took out a stamp with the Hokage insignia on it and stamped it on the papers that showed the profile of Yuki, and another paper showing her right to everything that her family had. She took the profile papers and put them in a drawer, with all the other profiles, and handed Yuki the deeds.

" I will give your profile to the ANBU head quarters. Until further news, you will be always a chunnin."

" hai" Yuki answered. She felt free … but she had to ask something to her.

" Um… Tsunade-sama?"

" Yes?" she answered

" Is it true… that Sasuke left for Orochimaru?"

There was an awkward silence. Kakashi, who was still in the back, listened closely at this.

" Yes… he did. And we will get him back somehow…" Tsunade answered.

Yuki felt so tensed… the rumors were true… Sasuke did leave… and the clan did get destroyed… by none other then Itachi… why?

" Arigatou… I needed to know the truth… and so I guess it's true that Itachi killed the clan…"

Tsunade nodded. This was very hard on the girl. She who already lost her family, now lost the only 2 people she could ever be with…

" you can leave now Yuki-san…"

"hai… hum, one more question… is there something about Naruto that I should know? I feel like I've already heard his name…"

" he's the container of Kyuubi. You must have heard about him… you were here at the time when the Kyuubi attacked no?"

" yes I was… so… it was him that I held in my arms… the little boy that Yondaime asked me to protect…" she stayed quiet… finally knowing the truth.

The little boy that she held in her arms when Yondaime sealed Kyuubi in… asking her to take care of him… she didn't fulfill his wishes… but know she would.

" I'll take in my responsibility to protect Naruto… from the Kyuubi and Akatsuki…"

Tsunade was surprised, she didn't think that she knew about the Akatsuki… but if she knew about Itachi, maybe she did some research.

"very well, you may leave now"

"hai"

Yuki bowed again and left the room, accompanied by Kakashi.

Yuki and Kakashi went down the stairs, looking for Naruto and Sakura.


Soooo… Yuki had the responsibility to protect Naruto! Aaaa! Bet you didn't see that coming. She couldn't have protected Sasuke and ignored him… now's her second chance!

Next chapter "visit the the old house, and Koharu-chan"!
