The Hokage stares at the young girl and the blank look she keeps on her face. She knows the stories about the girl, about her power. She knows the long list of creative ways that she has killed her marks, some of which had been taught to her by her former, now S-Class criminal, best friend. Also how she can gather information sometimes thought to be unattainable, gotten by thoroughly mind-fucking whoever had the information she wanted. It saddens the old woman to think that this little girl in front of her, no older than eighteen, has that power or the will to use it the way she does. She shakes her head as the brunette calmly asks for another mission. She knows that she cannot truly deny the doujutsu wielder this mission. The girl is an asset to the village, something it needs. Besides, the girl was never forced to take on these burdens.
She asked for them herself.
