Chii was still unconscious as they were on the border of the village. Samuru had wrapped her in an Akatsuki cloak but inside out so the designs were not visible but he kept his cloak on the right way. No one made a comment on it while Hinata and Kiba helped him since he was still weak from the nonstop traveling to get Chii in the village.

Once they entered the village, Neji, Kankuro, Temari, Shino, and Kurenai surrounded Samuru to make it look like he was captured and he acted like he couldn't move so we could get him out of the open. Luckily they made it to Tsunade's office without being stopped and they dropped the act as she closed the windows and blinds.

"Are these the Abare Siblings?" Tsunade demanded as Gaara laid Chii on the couch. "What happened to the girl?"

"She was punished by leader for asking to leave permanently," Samuru spoke with no hint of emotion.

"Why would you do that? You joined the organization didn't you?" Tsunade snapped.

"Only so we didn't starve to death. We were kept hidden within several hideouts for two years. Going to Suna was our first and only mission. We never wanted to be looked upon as an enemy, we just wanted a place to be able to sleep and not starve which the Akatsuki had."

"You were written off as KIA!"

"Our village was slaughtered! We joined that Blaze war because you were on our lands and we didn't want bloodshed when there could be a possibility to solve it politically. Neither you nor the Wind even bothered to listen for one second! Chikia was tortured because she was trying to do what was right! Where do you think those scars on her back came from?

"When we were able to get to our village, every single man, woman, child and infant was torn apart and put on spears! Our own mother was staked to a wall for us to see while our younger brother lay dead at her feet!" Samuru yelled but his eyes remained locked of emotion then he went quiet and crossed his arms under his Akatsuki cloak. "Either way you look at it, we would have been hurt and interrogated for even showing up at the Blaze war when our father, the leader of the village dragged us with him because of our talent with turning anything we wish to ice. We may have killed hundreds of Wind and Leaf shinobi but we didn't destroy an entire village full of villagers who never knew how to fight while their shinobi went to try and stop a war even though the Blaze knew that there was a slim chance of surviving."

The room became deathly silent as everyone took in what he had told them and he knelt next to Chii and placed a hand on her head and a green chakra mixed in with black appeared. Hinata looked at him as he knelt next to his unconscious sister and something glimmered along his scar, but when she was about to take a closer look he scratched that cheek with his gloved hand.

"She will have no memory of Akatsuki when she wakes up. Shell remember meeting Lord Gaara briefly but not why she was in Suna. Treat her like a transferred shinobi," Samuru spoke as he stood up. He signed something to her even though she was unconscious.

"Why did you do that?" Kiba asked.

"Her mind is tortured enough. She never wanted to be looked at as an Akatsuki who is the enemy. You can tell the villagers that I'm Akatsuki, I don't care. I will what I must to protect her," Samuru spoke with his eyes locked on Tsunade.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade's brow furrowed.

"I will keep in contact with the organization to keep them away from Chikia and if they give me information, I'll feed it to you. I'll even do missions for your villages and then I wear the normal Jounin uniform to keep other nations calm, but in return, you protect her. Don't ever lie to her except about her being associated with Akatsuki because I'm still apart of it in a way."

"Very well, I'll accept your terms," Tsunade spoke and Samuru bowed slightly.

"Samuru..." Chii's weak voice made everyone look at her as she turned her head to the side as her emerald eyes opened. "What happened...? Where are we...?"

"We are in Konoha, in the Land of Fire," Samuru spoke as he helped her sit up.

"What...? But we were in the Land of Water just this morning? We were at the lake pract... Who are they?"

"Chii, you hit you head a couple days ago and lost your memory. We decided to return to a village and have been traveling around for the past two years. We were in Suna when you got hurt. Do you recognize anyone in this room?" Samuru asked and she started to shake her head when her emerald eyes locked onto Gaara's teal eyes.

"He's familiar..."

"That is the Kazekage of Suna, Gaara no Sabaku."

"The former host of the one-tailed spirit? Didn't he die last year? By that wigged out organization of former shinobi who though they were being picked on?" she frowned making Kiba, Temari and Kankuro chuckle.

"Chii, that was three years ago and we had an elder who brought him back in exchange for her life," Temari spoke and Chii frowned.

"Hey Muru, why are you wearing an Akatsuki cloak?"

"I stole it as well as the one your wearing," Samuru spoke calmly and she looked down. "When you hit your head, you had fallen trough a crumbling roof so that is why your clothes are torn..."

"Samuru stop lying," she whispered and everyone tensed. "It looks like I had been whipped, what really happened to me and stealing a cloak from Akatsuki wouldn't have been a simple feat for you."

"You had been captured by the Akatsuki," Hinata stammered, the idea popping into her head on the fly. "We all went after you and one of them had whipped you by the time we found you. It took all of us to heal you, using Samuru's healing technique."

"Thank you for telling me the truth... What is your name?"

"I am Hinata Hyuuga," the pale girl blushed and Chii nodded.

"I'm Kiba Inuzuka," Kiba smiled.

"Neji Hyuuga," Neji spoke, not even looking at her.

"Shino Aburame."

"Kurenai Yūhi," the Jounin smiled gently.

"Temari Sabaku and that idiot in makeup is Kankuro Sabaku," Temari smirked and Kankuro was about to protest when Chii stared at him for a second.

"And I am Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin and Fifth Hokage of Konoha," Tsnade smiled. "Your brother brought you here to see if I could heal you. Forgive me but healing the mind's memory is not my speciality."

"It's alright, I'm sure that I'll get it back one day and if I don't then it wasn't important enough to remember," Chii smiled like an innocent child as she rubbed the back of her neck like Naruto would sometimes.

"Chii I have somewhere to be right now but I'll be back soon," Samuru spoke as he ruffled her hair, making her whine then he left.

"Sakura, what did he sign to her right after he 'healed' her?" Temari whispered and everyone but Chii and Tsunade were paying attention.

"He said that it was his turn to shoulder the burden of protecting his only family," Sakura whispered back.
