Chapter 7

Kabuto, Kakashi, Iruka, and a few other ANBU stood in front of Danzo's desk. Said man had his eye closed with a furious scowl plastered on his face, and his fist underneath his nose in concentration. He was clenching his fist so tight that his knuckles were white. The air was so thick from all the tension and quiet that you could hear a few nervous heart beats. No one said anything. No one moved, no one blinked, and there was no courage to even take in a breath of air.

Suddenly Danzo's eye shot open. He lowered his clenched fist to his desk.

"Give me one reason. Just one good reason why I should not murder you lot on the spot," He growled out. His voice quaked from uncontrolled anger.

No one said anything. Then, an ANBU with a rabbits mask stepped forward, gave a quick bow and began to apologize. Before he could even finish his sentence, he was silenced by a kunai lodged in his throat. Kakashi was the first to leap to his aid.

"Leave him Kakashi! Or you will be next!" Danzo shouted, causing Kakashi to step back into his spot. "If any of you think your lives are worth something to me, you are wrong. I really could care less for everything you have done for me, because as of right now, you all have dishonored yourselves!"

He took a shaky breath. Slamming his fist hard on his desk he continued. "You ignorant fools! You disgraceful swine! How could you mess this up?! Our most valuable weapon is out running who knows where! And here you guys are standing in front of me obviously doing nothing!"

"Hokage-sama, we are here to hear your orders so that we may take action," Kakashi spoke up.

Danzo glared at him. "How dare you talk back to me Kakashi!" Kakashi bowed in apology and turned his mask down towards the ground. "You guys have the audacity to show your pathetic faces to me, try to apologize, and expect me to have pity on you?! Unbelievable!"

Danzo stood up and turned towards the large window behind him. Effortlessly he punched a hole through the glass, cutting himself and shattering most of the window.

One of the ANBUs that was also a trained medic-nin cautiously ran up to Danzo to try and heal his wound. Out of anger Danzo grabbed the ANBU and threw him out the window, effectively shattering it completely. No one even battered an eye at this point.

"Does anyone else want to test me?! You stupid ungrateful filths!" He spat. He breathed in calming himself just a hair. "Do I have to spell it out to you? Are you guys as stupid as to not immediately go after it?!"

"Actually sir," Kabuto stepped up. "Both the weapon and the girl have escaped."

Danzo focused on Kabuto. "You mean to tell me that girl is still alive?" He harshly said.

"Yes Danzo-sama. It really likes her, and my crew are certain that it is trying to succeed in making her it's mate."

"That is correct Hokage-sama," Iruka piped in. He continued, "During our fight to contain him down there. He went ballistic when we tried to shield her."

"Do not speak Iruka, you have no right. After all, it was you and your squad that failed to detain him." Danzo coldly spat.

Iruka flinched in the slightest, and said no more.

"Danzo-sama," Kabuto hurriedly continued. "I just came up with the idea: what if we not go after them so soon? "

"Have you gotten even more stupid?" Danzo exclaimed incredulously.

"No sir. It's just that I believe it will want to find safety as soon as possible so it can establish a den and focus on mating Sakura. If this is the case, which is highly likely, they will not go that far. They are most likely still in the boundaries of our land."

"So let me get this straight. You want me to not send out a search crew to locate and bring it back?" Danzo said, his patience running on thin ice.

"Precisely"

"Why in the hell would I do such a foolish thing?! For all we know, our weapon and the bitch could be well out of our land by now!"

Kabuto gained more confidence. "Not necessarily." He began, "you see, Sakura has a tracking device on her little gadget that we gave her. So no matter where they may travel to, we can always find them."

"And what if she takes that device off?"

"Not likely sir, I can promise you that."

"You aren't giving me much to be confident about Kabuto. But I'll tell you one thing, you're existence is not completely worthless."

Kabuto didn't know whether or not he was complimenting him so he chose to remain silent.

"So what if we put this into action? How long will this take?"

"If all is what I assume, around not more than half a year."

Danzo slammed his fist on his desk, splintering the wood. "Are you out of your damn mind?! There is no way that our village can last a half a year without our weapon! We are vulnerable at this point!" He shouted his anger had risen tenfold.

Kabuto unaffected by Danzo's spike in anger began to offer his input again. "Within that time, I am most certain that they would have already mated and be with child."

"How could you be so sure?" His eyes glared through Kabuto.

"Because like any other female, she will experience her menstrual cycle, thus triggering the beast within to awake in a frenzy and claim the female that will be in heat." He paused. "We will leave them be for five and a half more months, and by the end time, they will be ready. In the meantime, we will locate them immediately and keep a close watch on them. Only if they try to leave their area for good, will we intervene and drag them back." By this time Kabuto was smiling smug.

"Wipe that smug grin off your face before I do it for you," Danzo threatened. Kabuto immediately donned a stoic expression. "I swear to you Kabuto, and the rest of you in here, that if this does not work, I am not only killing you all, but what little that is left of your families as well."

With that said Danzo sat back in his chair. "You are all dismissed." Before anyone could leave, he said to Kakashi "Summon Haku up to my office."

Kakashi turned back. "Hokage-sama, you just killed Haku" he stated grimly, pointing to the now dead ANBU that had bled to death painfully.

Danzo shrugged. "Well isn't that a damn shame?" he said in a nonchalant voice. "Well, get him out of here, his blood is staining my carpet."

With the help of Iruka, Kakashi picked up the lifeless body carefully and headed out the door, Kabuto and the remaining ANBU right behind.

Danzo turned his chair so that it faced towards the broken window. Picking at the glass shards in his hand, he became lost in thought.
