Act 10
the deal
Fujino Tadashi did not sleep.
Neither did anyone else who were involved in the case.
The Dōjutsu Heist.
When words got out that the enemy-nin tried to steal children from the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuuga Clan—and succeeded, both clans were furious. They demanded the abductors to be executed immediately. The T&I refused, telling them that they still need information and both clan heads reluctantly agreed.
"—the hell should I know?!"
Tadashi kept a calm façade as he observed from behind a one-way see through glass. The room was dark compared to the interrogation room. He had changed shifts with a fellow interrogator to observe from a different angle. A few shinobi stood by his side, keeping a close eye to one of the inmates being interrogated.
There was a rustle. "Is he still evading the accusation from that Kumogakure shinobi?" Shikaku asked, leaning against the wall behind him.
The head interrogator nodded. "He kept claiming that there was no treason between the exchange."
Tadashi's keen eyes were staring at Gou's behavior. His eyes kept on glancing back and forth to see Gou's hands and expression. The redhead was trying to find random physical actions. He was trained to see a lie through one's behavior when under pressure. They tried everything to fish out the truth behind the abduction. Though most of the reasons were clear, one didn't actually add up.
The man saw through the lies Gou made when being questioned about his escape. The redhead reminded him that he would not hesitate to end him right then and there. After that, Gou started to answer truthfully, but when the subject changed to why he and Aeko attacked the Kumogakure shinobi—he started to get antsy and denied the fact—there was no lie.
He saw no lie in that.
It confuses him.
Inoichi frowned. "Genjutsu, perhaps?" the Yamanaka had used the mind transfer technique, but he didn't find anything to answer the unanswered questions
"Seems like it." Shikaku sighed heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's been hours and this guy doesn't want to admit that he was the one who broke the deal—same with the woman." He added, pushing himself off the wall.
"Unlikely," Minato denied, joining in the discussion. He had been one of the first who arrived at the scene. Even when he was in range of the battle, both Gou and Aeko were still fighting against the Kumogakure shinobi—but after he entered the field, they seemed to be released from the genjutsu they were under. He noticed there was something strange about the 'genjutsu' the two criminals were under. "I never saw them use the release seal and when I arrived, they seemed to automatically…come to their senses. Either way, it doesn't seem like genjutsu at all." He placed in his assumption.
"So, you're saying that you're the reason they went back to their senses?" Inoichi turned his head to look at the blond who gave a nod as an answer.
Shikaku groaned. "Thanks for adding more questions, Minato." His eyes glared at the blond—who gave him an apologetic look. Everyone was tired at this point. It had been twelve hours since the first interrogation started and they were not going anywhere after the question of the one-sided treason. "Even if it isn't genjutsu and some sort of jutsu, who's the one responsible for keeping us up all night?" he crossed his arms, his eyes staring at the inmate on the other side of the glass.
"Obito?" Tadashi wondered. "He was the one who encountered the group first, right?" he placed his hand on his chin.
Minato shook his head. "Unfortunately, from his story, he was drugged and lost consciousness till a little before Kakashi arrived."
"Kakashi then?" Inoichi asked.
"No… He didn't fight nor encounter them both." Minato answered.
Tadashi frowned. "Kato was the only one who wasn't in the same state as the other two." from what he recalled, Kato acted like Kato—unstable and psychotic. He was not under the same jutsu Gou and Aeko were under. It was direct orders from the Hokage himself to execute Kato as he was deemed unbeneficial to Konoha. "The only one who were with them the whole time were…" he trailed off.
He didn't want to say it.
"…the kids…" Shikaku finished for him. He gave a sympathetic look to the auburn-haired man. He knew that Tadashi didn't want to involve his daughter after what she went through, but they were the only ones who witnessed everything. They're bound to fill in the blanks. "I'm sorry, Tadashi, but—,"
Tadashi had no choice.
"No… I understand…" Tadashi held up a hand, stopping Shikaku from continuing. He raised his hand and run his fingers through his hair, sighing softly. "I'll ask them."
Minato placed a hand on Tadashi's shoulder. "Let them rest for a bit longer. They had it rough." He said, giving a small smile. "And it's best if we take a little break as well." He added as he glanced around, noticing the tired look across his comrades.
Shikaku yawned. "Now you're talking."
But neither of them rested.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Guess what?
I just met a new face!
She's pretty and kind and wears a pair of glasses and wears a uniform that looks like a nun.
"Thank you so much, Nonō-sensei!"
That's right! You heard me! This is the Yakushi Nonō.
She's too pretty for this world!
"You're welcome, Haruka-chan." Nonō replied as she removed her hand from my cheek. She had used medical ninjutsu before applying a thin layer of gel on my bruise.
Kind of like Arnica cream—that's what I used to use for bruises, sprains and et cetera when I was still a magician in my previous life.
The bruise had healed—not fully, but at least my face doesn't look like a purple balloon. She was the one in charge in healing all of us—Shisui and me. I didn't see the Hyuuga sisters in the room though, maybe they're in another one—or maybe they're being healed by their private Hyuuga healer.
As for Shisui and I, the adults insisted that we stay for the night in the hospital—just to be safe.
Shisui was with me the whole time since last night. Okay, last night was a really tiring night and after the nurses clean us up—we went straight to bed and was out the moment our heads hit the pillow. We share the same hospital room and it was a like a sleepover the very next day we woke up.
—because we chatted like teenage girls endlessly about what happened yesterday.
That is until mom came to visit.
"Try not to touch it, okay?" Nonō chided as she saw me reaching my hand up to touch it, a gentle smile on her face.
I can't resist it, okay?
"Hehe, sorry!" I gave her a salute and a sheepish grin.
After that, Nonō turned to Shisui who stayed still and stiff as she healed his injuries—which is close to none other than the bruise on his wrist. If Nonō was here at the hospital instead of the orphanage, does that mean she was working part time here to earn a few extra funds for the orphanage?
Hmm, it could be…
Speaking of orphanage… is Kabuto born yet?
Correction—or taken by Nonō yet?
I stared at the woman's face and I noticed her glasses' frame weren't the round ones—they were rectangles.
Aha! So, this means, Nonō has taken Kabuto to the orphanage!
"There, all finished." Nonō announced and she leaned back.
Shisui stared at his wrist in amazement, moving them in a circular motion to feel that it no longer hurt. "T—Thanks, sensei."
Mom bowed her head in thanks. "Thank you so much for healing my daughter and her friend, Nonō-sensei. I'm sorry if we were bothering you with the noise earlier."
Both Shisui and I gave sheepish looks.
"There's no need to thank me, Fujino-san." Nonō smiled before packing away the stuff she brought in with her into the metal tray. "And not at all. It's nice to hear children laughing and happy. They deserve to express themselves all they want." She said.
Man, you've really done it Danzō.
This woman's like a real Mother Teresa version of Naruto and you took her away from her kids. From her job. From Kabuto.
Shame on you, sir. Shame on you.
Hopefully, I'm not too late to change this woman's fate.
"Mother?" there was a knock on the door. We all looked over to the door and it creak open, revealing a young boy with a birthmark on his nose.
Nonō smiled. "Ah, Urushi-kun, come inside." the boy did as he was told. He wore a black kimono and a hat with pins on it. He stood in front of us and his caretaker placed her hands on his shoulders. "Could you please look after Haruka-chan and Shisui-kun for me? Fujino-san and I have a few things to take care of." She said.
Urushi glanced over to us and I waved my hand in greeting. "Uh… okay. Sure." He said.
He sounded so uncertain. C'mon, we won't mess with you if that's what you're thinking.
"Thank you," Nonō thanked.
Mom turned to me. "Be good to Urushi-kun, okay?"
"Sure thing, kaa-chan!" I chirped happily before she kissed my forehead and together with Nonō, they went outside. Hopefully to sign papers for our release. It's so boring here in the hospital! And the food sucks—no offense to the cooks who cooked it though. I turned to look at the older boy.
I have to turn the conversation to the orphanage without saying that I knew about both of their jobs.
"Your mom's so nice, Urushi-san." I said, grinning at the boy.
Urushi blinked. "S—She's not my mom!" he stuttered.
"But… you called her mother." Shisui pointed out, tilting his head in confusion.
Atta boy, Shisui.
Urushi huffed. "That doesn't mean she's my mother. She's our caretaker at the orphanage." He placed his hands on his hips.
Hoho, bingo!
"Orphanage? Then why is she working here?" Shisui asked again. "Shouldn't she be in the orphanage?"
I don't think I'm even needed here.
The boy with the hat gave a loud sigh. "Curious ones, now aren't 'cha?" he raised his gaze to meet ours and a frown appeared on his lips. He took a few steps forward and we leaned our head forward, offering our ears. "Don't tell anyone, but I overheard the caretakers said that we're low on money. That's why Mother—Nonō-sensei is working in the hospital." He finished and we both leaned back.
"Eeehh! That's awful!" I said loudly and both boys shushed me. I clamp my hands over my mouth before leaning down. "Aren't all orphanage here funded by Konoha?" I whispered.
A sigh escaped Urushi's lips. "With the war going on, we're lucky to even receive a week amount of funds for a whole month." He explained and crossed his arms.
"I'm sorry… that must be really hard…" Shisui apologized, rubbing the back of his neck.
Urushi shook his head, waving Shisui's worry off. "Nah… you don't need to worry about it. It's not your fault." He said, turning to look at us with a small smile. "You guys reminded me of someone from the orphanage. He's a curious one. Much more-quieter than you two, but he's around the same age as you."
Ding! Ding! This was easier than I thought!
"Hey, hey, how about we help raise the funds for the orphanage?!" I suggested loudly and enthusiastically, surprising both boys. They shushed me again and I didn't shush. I've been thinking for like fifteen minutes and thought of a really amazing and brilliant idea that will probably save the orphanage's economy problem.
Shisui stared at me weirdly. "What do you mean?" he asked.
I turned to face him. "You know, a fundraiser! Charity event! Bazaar!" I listed off, holding up my fingers. I looked over to Urushi who was already considering my idea. "If we have some sort of event planned and everyone from the village can come, we can raise enough money to help the orphanage!"
"That's… a good idea, but how can we manage an event that big?" Urushi asked, a hand on his chin.
I blew a raspberry. "It'll be a piece of cake! All we need are food, entertainment and small games, and maybe a yard sale!"
I do magic shows for a fundraiser once or twice and it was fun!
"…yard sale?" Shisui blinked.
"It's like selling things that you don't need anymore and then donate the money you earned to the orphanage." I explained briefly to him and he nodded his head. I turned my attention back to Urushi. He was really thinking hard and considering it now. "My grandparents owned a bakery, I'm a hundred percent super sure that if I say it's for charity, they will give us tons of bread to the event!" I said dramatically.
Maybe not tons, but you get the point, right?
Urushi sighed. "Do you really think we can do it?" he seemed to doubt himself.
"Of course!" Shisui suddenly exclaimed. "We can raise a lot if Haruka perform her magic!"
Oh, Shisui! I feel honored!
"Magic?" Urushi turned to face me and I just smiled and pulled a flower from thin air to give to the boy. He looked so surprised that I was scared his eyes would pop out. He took the flower nonetheless, staring at me as if I had grown two heads and a beard. "W—Whoa…"
"Right?! Haruka's amazing! With her magic tricks, I'm sure we can earn thousands and thousands of ryo!" Shisui grinned.
Oh shucks!
I'm not that expensive
…yet
"What's this I hear about fundraising and charity?" we looked over to the door, seeing a familiar Uchiha with his team. It was Obito, of course! In a few places, he and Kakashi were wrapped up in bandages. I don't blame them though, Kato was a real psycho to deal with. He walked inside our room and flashed us his million ryo smile. "Whatever it is, I'm in! I'm down for some charity work!" he laughed.
I smiled up at him. "Ah, Obito-niisan, if it's possible, your smile is enough to raise a fund for the orphanage that would last for a thousand year!" I plucked out another flower from thin air to give it to him.
"W—Wha?!" Obito seemed to chocked on his own spit. His face began to reddened from my compliment as his hand shakily took the flower.
Kakashi snorted from behind him. "That's what it takes to make you flattered? Flirts from a two-year-old?"
"I'm turning three this year!" I huffed out, puffing my cheeks out.
"Fine, from a three-year-old, happy?" Kakashi rolled his eyes, correcting himself.
I nodded. Yes. Very.
Obito turned to face him, his fist raised threateningly. "S—Shut up!" he stammered while his face is still red. He pointed his flower at the silver-haired teen.
"Stop it you two," Rin shook his head with a smile on her face. She placed a plastic bag on the nightstand beside my table and turned to the three of us, specifically Urushi. "If it's alright, do you think I can join in too?" she said.
"Of course! The more the merrier!" I exclaimed and turned to look at Kakashi. I doubt he would join us, but can't hurt to try right? Maybe this event is all it takes to melt his frozen heart.
Kakashi crossed his arms. "No—"
"C'mon, Bakashi! This is for charity! You can't say no!" Obito glared at his teammate.
"We're in war—"
Rin turned to look at him. "And because of that, the orphanage is low on funds. C'mon, Kakashi… we're doing this for the village too." She tried to convince the stick-up-the-ass boy.
Nice, Rin!
Kakashi sighed. "Fine."
Obito, Shisui and I cheered happily.
If they're in, then Minato and maybe Kushina might join in too!
Rin smiled. "I'm sure I can convince a few of our friends to donate their things for the fundraising event."
"Leave all the heavy-duty stuff to us!" Obito gave a thumbs-up, referring to himself and Kakashi.
"Oi!" Kakashi looked angry, but can't deny the fact. He sighed and gave up. "Fine, fine."
"And don't worry about the flyers. I'll handle that." Rin gave a wink.
Urushi looked as if he was about to cry from joy. "T—Thank you!" he wiped the tears away before they spilled. He turned to look at all of us. "I'll—I'll definitely convince Nonō-sensei and the others to agree! They can't possible disagree with this amazing idea!" he grinned.
"There's no need for that," Nonō was at the door. I'm guessing she and mom heard everything that we discussed. She walked inside the room and placed a hand on top of Urushi's head, giving a light pat. "You already have my permission." She approved.
This settles it!
"Yay~!" I cheered, pumping my fist up in the air. "So, when will the event be?" I asked to the nun.
Nonō hummed. "How about around spring? The cherry blossoms are beautiful around that time."
"How about the 4th of April?" I suggested to her.
"Haru—" Mom started, but I turned to face her with a grin on my face. She let out a soft sigh, but a smile was seen on her face.
"Lovely. We will have just enough time to prepare." Nonō smiled. "Thank you all so much for considering your time to help us." She bowed her head to thank us all. Urushi did the same, bowing a ninety-degree bow.
Mom shook her head. "We're glad that we can help out." She said, smiling.
"Come over to the orphanage when you get out of the hospital, okay?" Urushi grinned, inviting both Shisui and I over.
"Definitely!" Shisui laughed.
This is going to be awesome.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
It was later that day that I found the room so full that even I was suffocating from the silence around us all.
A lot of important people are in this tiny hospital room.
There's team Minato.
My parents.
The Uchiha clan head.
The Nara clan head.
The Hyuuga clan head—what's he doing here anyway?
And finally, the Hokage himself—what's he doing here too anyway?
Poor Shisui, I could feel the guy shrink with all of the people staring at him.
I looked around the room, trying to find someone who will actually start the conversation. I bet all of my money that this has something to do with what I did to Gou and Aeko.
Shikaku and dad exchanged nods.
Dad stood in front of me and Shisui, kneeling down to reach our eye-level. We were sitting on the bed, by the way. "Shisui, Haruka—sweetheart, I know this will be hard, but I want the both of you to tell us what happened yesterday."
Yesss! None of you guys are getting my money!
"All of it?" Shisui tilted his head.
Dad nodded and gave him a smile. "Don't worry about the bad people who kidnapped you. They won't ever touch you again." He reassured, placing his hand on his shoulder and the other on mine. "How about we hear your side of the story first, Shisui?"
Shisui nodded his head slowly.
"O—Okay… well, we were playing ball in the park and then that man suddenly took us away." Shisui began, looking a little nervous at first. I don't blame him. The stares Fugaku and Hiashi were giving him were intense! "Then that guy met up with his friend who took Saya-san and Kana-san. I tried waking Haruka up, but she won't! But after a while she finally did!" he said a small smile on his lips.
So, nothing really happened when I was out cold, hmm…
"That woman mistaken Haruka as an Uzumaki." Shisui added.
Minato shifted, crossing his arms. "I think I can understand why…"
Yeah, my auburn hair. Why must everyone think that anyone with red hair is an Uzumaki?
"And then this Kato guy arrived. He started talking funny about Haruka." Shisui frowned.
I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah, he was really cray-cray in the head." I mover my finger in a circular motion beside my temple.
Shisui nodded his head too, "Yeah, but Haruka was so brave! She tried to convince the woman to let us go, but it didn't actually go well…" he turned to face me and I gave a sheepish look.
Dad stiffened. "What happened?"
"I gave her a flower and said that she was really pretty." I laughed a little.
Kakashi was so close to snort and I almost see Obito slip. Rin stopped them both from embarrassing themselves though.
Dad and mom relaxed a little. "And then what happen?"
"Obito-nii came!" Shisui said happily, turning to face the black-haired teen, who laughed sheepishly at the attention he was receiving. "He was fighting those three, but then the woman stabbed him with a senbon." He continued.
"And then we were told to follow them to a shack—"
I smiled.
Shisui doesn't remember about awakening his Sharingan.
It's for the best.
This way, he won't be sent out to the warzone in a young age.
He can live his childhood happily.
"—Haruka was really cool!"
What? I heard my name and the word cool in one sentence.
"I really thought Obito-nii was waking up, but he wasn't! I ran over to Obito-nii and then Haruka—Haruka was using my voice to draw attention. She even sounded like Saya-san and Kana-san to make that guy come inside the shack. That guy did come inside to check, but he found out that Obito-nii is not really waking up." Shisui stopped to catch his breath.
Aww, you're making it seem like I'm your hero or something. I'm flattered! Really!
I glanced over and found that everyone was listening to intently to Shisui's story—especially Obito.
"And then Haruka did something to that guy. He was so quiet. He was listening to what Haruka was saying to him, but then he suddenly woke up and punched Haruka in the face." Shisui frowned.
I laughed nervously, placing a hand on my cheek. It hurt. Like a lot.
Dad turned to face me as Mom gave my hand a squeeze.
"After that… they took Saya-san, Kana-san and I to meet the Kumogakure shinobi." Shisui paused, glancing at me and I gave him a nod. "Haruka didn't say exactly why I should say 'Houdini' and 'Minato-san', but now I know! It was to make the two free us and attack the Kumogakure shinobi instead." He flashed me a grin.
I returned his grin with my own.
"You're the one responsible for putting Chojiro Gou and Higashi Aeko under a genjutsu?" Fugaku finally said something. He sounded as if he didn't believe that a two-turning-three-year-old girl could do it.
I turn to him, a smile on my face. "I wouldn't call it genjutsu, Uchiha-sama." I move my hands in front of my face, throwing a handful of confetti into the air. "It was magic."
Cue jazz-hands and the silence.
Don't worry, nurse! I'll clean the confetti up.
"What did you use on them, Haruka?" Dad asked.
"I put them under a spell." I answered.
They looked as confused an I am when I go paint shopping with mom. Seriously, what's the difference between cream and ecru anyway?
"Would you care to demonstrate?" Hiashi said, his arms crossed. He looks like he wasn't taking anything from me.
I don't really mind showing them how I hypnotize Gou and Aeko. Hypnotizing was something that I rarely do in my shows, but desperate time calls for desperate measures! It's not like they can actually do this without me teaching them anyway, so I guess no harm done!
"No prob!" I turned to look at Team Minato. There is no way I'm putting my parents into this. They'll cut my paycheck and ground me for months if I do this to them. Lord Hokage and the clan heads are out of the picture. Minato's too cool for this and Rin's too nice. Obito's my hero. So, I turned to the next best candidate. "Hey, Kakashi-niisan? Could you please help me out?" I asked.
Kakashi let out a sigh before walking closer to the bed. I guess he was curious too. I'm glad you're finally recognizing me, Ka-chan!
I stood on my knees on the bed as I took his hand and began to move it side to side. "C'mon, Kakashi-niisan! Relax! Your arm's so stiff!" I laughed, staring into his eyes.
Kakashi relaxed his arm, but he didn't seem to believe that I can do this. "I don't get why this—"
I pulled him forward, pushed his chest and placed my hand behind his neck. "Sleep."
His head dropped and his eyes were closed.
I could almost hear the audible gasps from everyone.
I can't actually use the same move I did to Shisui. I pushed Shisui's head forward to put him under the hypnotism, but for Kakashi, I used a different method. Though, I'm glad to know that I can entertain you people.
"Kakashi-niisan, when I whistle once you will spin around once and when I whistle again, you'll stop and wake up. You won't remember what I told you to do." I whispered quietly, so that only he will hear.
I gave a single pat, to wake him up.
"—will work." He finished his unfinished sentence and glanced around the room to look at the surprised look across everyone's faces.
I gave a whistle.
Kakashi spun around once.
I whistled again.
He woke up.
Kakashi turned to his team. "What?" he glared at Obito—who look at him the most weirdly.
"Y—You—!" Obito pointed his finger at his teammate. "You… don't remember?" he asked.
"What should I remember?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.
"Amazing…" I heard the Hokage mumbled.
I bowed. "Thank you! Thank you!"
"You have to teach me that!" Shisui beamed, looking determined to learn the new trick.
Poor Kakashi, he looked super confused.
Hey, at least I didn't make him twirl like a ballerina.
I laughed. "You haven't even master the flower one yet."
"I—I can master it! Just gimme some time, 'kay?" Shisui stuttered, a blush across his cheeks.
I could feel dad's gaze on me. "Haruka… since when were you able to do this?" he asked softly.
"Ever since I want to be a magician!" I answered. I can't answer ever since I was reborn, now can I? "I came up with all of these so I can be the best magician!"
Lord Hokage gave a chuckle. "She is a very creative and talented girl, Tadashi." He walked closer to the bed and bends down a little to our eyelevel. "How would you and Shisui-kun feel when I ask you to join the Academy next semester?" he offered, a kind smile on his face.
Hmmm. A three year old joining a class of with a bunch of six year olds?
Shisui turned to me, his eyes beaming with excitement. "W—Wow! This is great Haruka! We'll be in the Academy together and we could even be in the same team when we graduate!"
I hummed, thinking for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but I don't want to join the Academy." I smiled, giving him my answer.
"Eh?" Shisui blinked.
Obito was the loudest. "EEEHHH?!"
Everyone looked so surprised—even Fugu—Fugaku and Hiashi. Seriously, what's so surprising about declining the Hokage's generous offer?
Lord Hokage was the first to snap out. "May I ask why not, Haruka-kun?"
"I want to be a magician and put on shows to entertain people and put smiles on people's faces!" I said truthfully.
Dad smiled and mom looked relieved.
"That would be a waste of your talents." Hiashi said.
Thanks… I guess?
"Would you not rather be a kunoichi instead, Haruka-kun?" the Hokage asked again. "You have an amazing gift that would help us a lot."
Hohoho! He was persistent on making me go to the Academy.
Well, I'm more persistent than he is!
"Then perhaps let me think this through until the 4th of April." I said to him.
Lord Hokage raised an eyebrow. "4th of April?"
"Why so specific?" I guess Shikaku finally found his voice after being repeatedly amazed by yours truly.
"Ah! That's the date when the fundraiser will be held!" Shisui grinned.
I nodded my head. "If you have the time, Hokage-sama, please join our fundraiser! Everyone is invited. I'll be performing there too." I said proudly, puffing my chest out in pride.
A chuckle escaped Lord Hokage's lips as he placed his hand on top of our head.
"I would be honored."

Kabuto didn't really know what was going on. He really didn't. One day, Nonō and Urushi returned from the hospital, announcing that they will be holding a fundraiser to help the Orphanage's finances, and the next… everyone was excited to join into the event. It was the talk of the week. Everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming event next month.
And then, a week after, there was this girl.
"Ah, Kabuto! Come meet Haruka and Shisui!" Urushi called over the boy to him.
Kabuto approached the group of three, staring at the redhead and the black-haired child. They gave him a friendly wave and he returned it with a shy one.
Urushi laughed as he pushed Kabuto a little closer. "C'mon! Don't be shy, they're the ones who thought up about this idea!" he smiled, encouraging the boy to be more open.
"I'm… Kabuto…" Kabuto introduced, bowing his head.
Shisui grinned. "I'm Shisui!"
Kabuto turned to the redhead.
She cleared her throat, taking a step closer. "I'm Haruka! Nice to meet you!" a flower appeared in her hand and she held it out for him to take.
With a radiant smile and a wink, she said:
"Please be my assistant."
The grey-haired boy blinked.
"P—Pardon?"

A/N: finished~
I don't know how you guys feel about hypnotism, but I guess it's true. I was told by my grandmother about her experience...
The honorific for doctor in Japanese is actually 'sensei'.
Urushi is a real character from Naruto! I'll try to use more canon characters from Naruto into the story! :D
So, now we have Kabuto! Poor guy he doesn't seem to know what's going on lol
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as well!
Quick question, what do you guys think of what Haruka has planned?
See you guys in the next chap! :D
