Still Isaac's fault. (Glares)

Chapter 6-Straight Answers

"Let our sister go. Now." said Nasshi, the glowing only getting stronger.. "NOW." he yelled.
"DO IT." said Kokutan, almost growling.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, and another of him walked round the side of a hill.
"And what are a couple of genin going to do about it?" he asked.
"Be careful." said Itachi. Surprisingly, there was a note of awe in his voice. "They're much stronger than they look.

"Listen to him." said Nasshi. "Before we kill you!"

"Stop threatening Kakashi-Sensei!" shouted Naruto, running at the twins and forming the handsigns for Kage Bunshin as he went, almost a hundred of them appearing around him as they all ran at the two.

There was a flare of golden chakra, and a flash of the same light, and everyone shielded their eyes.

Naruto was sprawled on the floor, all the clones destroyed.

"Proved?" asked Nasshi. "Or do we have to kill him too?"

There was a short silence.

"Don't fight." said Haruka.

"What?" yelled Nasshi and Kokutan.

"Don't bother. Just do what they say." she said.

"Are you sure?" asked Natu, from within the shadow imitation.
"Yes. We're badly outnumbered, even by the jonin." she said. Natu and Yui reluctantly nodded.

"But Haruka, sis-" asked Nasshi, the golden chakra whirling furiously around him and Kokutan.
"Do it." She said, angrily.

Reluctantly, Nasshi and Kokutan nodded, the golden chakra dying down.

The two of them fell on the floor, unconscious.

Kakashi looked around at the havoc, the tired genin, injured jonin, the two remaining ninjas of Haruka's team, and then Haruka herself inside the water prison.
"How are we going to get back?" he asked.

"I won't try to run." said Haruka. "I swear."

Kakashi looked at her, and released the Jutsu.

"Yui, Natu, no running." she said, wearily. They nodded reluctantly, and Kakashi nodded at both Shikamaru. They released the Jutsu, and the two genin walked over to their sensei.
"What are you planning?" asked Yui quietly.

"Nothing. Do what they say." murmured Haruka.
They nodded, reluctantly.

Itachi picked up one of the twins, and Gekko took the other.

"Follow us." said Itachi.


"Doragon Haruka. Why are you here?" asked Kurenai.

The Sutagakure jonin was in a cell. Well, it was a nice one, more like a hotel room by the Konohan standards, but it was obviously intended to be a cell.

"Because we lost." she said.
"No. You could have won. Why are you here?" asked Kurenai. "Forget it. You're not going to tell us. What can you tell us about Sutagakure? What secrets do you know?"

"Orochimaru has been experimenting with demons. And genetics." she answered, smiling slightly.
"That's no secret. Tell us something we don't know." said Kurenai.

"There are at least four Jinchuuriki in Sutagakure." she said.
Kurenai blinked. In surprise.
"The sixth Hokage is still alive, in one of the prisons." she continued. "So is the fifth, well, he was last month."
"Well… we suspected as such." stammered Kurenai. "We still can't trust you!"

Haruka sighed.

"The fourth's child is still alive. Taken by Orochimaru himself, so I hear."

Kurenai gasped.
"Now can you trust me?" asked Haruka, a little irritated. "I need to talk to Lady Tsunade."

"Um… no." said Kurenai. She was obviously a little shaken. "That isn't enough."

Haruka growled in irritation.
"I am the Konohan Star, the one who has been giving you information since before the war." she almost shouted.

"…prove it." said Kurenai, shocked.

Haruka reached up to the Sutagakure headband over her forehead, and untied it.

It came away, revealing a bloody scar. Obviously old, very old, but deep, and unhealed. As a little light fell on it, you could see fresh blood.

It was in the shape of a leaf.

Kurenai stared at it, lost for words.

"Fetch Lady Tsunade, please." said Haruka, with gritted teeth, replacing the headband.

Kurenai nodded, and opened the door of the room.
"Um… follow me." she said, as she walked towards the Hokage's office.


"Hokage? Tsunade-sama?" said Kurenai. "Haruka says… well… she's the Konohan Star." she said, opening the door to the office.
Tsunade looked at her, then to Haruka.

"One day the shadows will fall." she recited.
"And the spear of dawn will slay the darkness." replied Haruka.

Kurenai stared at both of them, as Tsunade stood up and hugged the younger woman.
"Welcome." she said. "Why have you come here, finally?" she asked.

"Because it is time for the Spear to fall." replied Haruka. "Orochimaru is confident, as never before. We have far more people than ever before, with the aid of the other Konoha." she said.

"But that's not all. Orochimaru plans to destroy Konoha. He knows that between both Konoha, he will fall." she finished.

Tsunade nodded.

"What do you need?" she asked.

"First, I need permission to retrieve some things from my house in Sutagakure. Including my… sister." she said, slowly.

"I didn't know you had another sister." said Tsunade. "But you can't go alone. Besides the risks, the people might not trust you… I know you're trustworthy, but they-"
"I understand. Can I pick who to take?" she asked.

Tsunade nodded. "Who do you want?"

"Hayate Gekko, Mito Gai, Yuhi Kurenai and Hatake Kakashi. From the parallel." she answered.

"That should be fine." said Tsunade. "Go."


"So, you're on our side?" asked Gekko.
"Yes." said Haruka, running through the forest.
"How do we know we can trust you?" he asked.
"Your Hokage believes me. I don't need to prove it to you." said Haruka. "I've been through more than you could ever imagine." she said.
Kakashi looked at her.
"So, why did you bother fighting?" he said.
"Because I have to be an example to my pupils. Surely you understand that?" she replied.

Further conversation was cut off as they reached close to the walls of Sutagakure.

"How can we get in?" asked Gekko.
"I've got that covered. The question is, I hear you have a Silence Jutsu?" said Haruka, to Kurenai. She nodded.
"Use it."

"Silent War Jutsu." she said, forming a group of handsigns. "We're safe. No-one can hear us, unless they can see us. And anyone who sees us is bound by the technique as well."
"Good." said Haruka. She walked up to the wall, and pressed a palm against it.

In front of them, the wall rippled and opened up, forming an archway.

Haruka walked through, and they followed.
"It opens on the application of chakra from any of our jonin." she said.

The door closed behind them.

"Uh, I can't fight while this is active." said Kurenai, still holding a handsign.
"I don't plan on fighting." said Haruka. "In, and out."

They ran along a street. No-one seemed to be there.
Haruka noticed them looking around.
"People don't come out after dark. Another thing Orochimaru has destroyed." spat Haruka.

She sounded more bitter than the Konohans.

And they lost three Hokages and a village.

They stopped by a house, Haruka nodding.
"We're here." she said. She walked in, and the Konohans followed.

It seemed just like normal house. Quite large, and very cluttered, very untidy. So just like any ninja residence. Three bedrooms, as well.
Haruka picked up a few things from her room, and entered one of the bedrooms, the Konohans waiting outside.

"Ruriko?" she said softly.
"Haruka-sama?" said a girl, maybe twelve years old, sitting up. She had brown hair and blue eyes. "What is it?"

She explained.

"So we have to go. Ok?"

Ruriko nodded. "Ok." she said, collecting a small bag together, and nodding, "Ready!"

"Ok. Lets go." Said Haruka, walking outwards, Ruriko following closely. They met up with the Konohans.
"People, Ruriko, my sister. Ruriko, Hayate Gekko, Mito Gai, Yuhi Kurenai and Hatake Kakashi. Ok? Let's go." she said.

The ninjas exchanged glances. Kakashi smiled at Ruriko, as did Kurenai, though she was still concentrating on her Jutsu. Ruriko smiled back, grinning infectiously.

They started onwards.

They had travelled quite a way to get there, and they now had to do the same back.

It went well, to begin with.

"Haruka? What are you doing h-Are they Konohan? Are you wearing a leaf headband?" said a Sutagakure ninja.

She was. In fact, she was wearing both.

"ATTACK!" he shouted to anyone nearby, before running in for the attack.

Of course, no-one heard him. He was alone.

As he attacked, taking a sword from his back, the Konohans prepared to attack. But Haruka just turned to Ruriko and said.

"Now!"

Ruriko smiled, and looked directly at the ninja, before releasing… a noise.
A noise that was more physical force than noise.

The ninja was thrown into a wall, arms and legs at odd angles.

"Keep going." said Haruka. "Thanks, Ruriko." she said.

No-one noticed the single tear on her face.

They kept going, and they reached the wall. Haruka had just placed her palm onto the wall.

"Stop!" shouted someone another Suta-nin up on the walls.

Ruriko shouted, or whatever she did, at the ninja, throwing him off the wall and down the other side. But it was too late.

As Haruka opened the door and they ran into the night, the news spread. Within an hour all of Sutagakure knew that for reasons unknown, Doragon Haruka had sided with the enemy.

But she didn't care. She only cared about the expression on the Suta-nins face as Ruriko killed him. The expression of her friend, killed on her order.

They ran into the night, tears now streaming down her face.

No-one dared say a word.
