Kakashi Hatake who was the Captain of the Konoha Team quickly leaped to the top of the tallest tree to have a look around once the two members of the Akatsuki left in order to go retrieve Sasuke Uchiha; The very same thing Kakashi and his team were there for.
He spotted smoke coming from nearby and called for Hinata Hyuga to use her Byakugan to scan the area more thoroughly.
"All I see is black flames surrounding a small abandon shrine of some sort."
"Black Flames you say...It's gotta be Amaterasu."
Kakashi knew what those black flames were and what they could do if not careful around them. He signaled his team to follow him. When they got to the edge of the flames he stopped long enough to warn them not to touch the flames because they were designed to keep burning whatever they touched until it was completely destroy even if it was human flesh. Next he had Yamato use his ability over the Earth to divide the ground making a path of non-burning soil for them to use in order to avoid the Amaterasu.
All of this was done in a vain attempt at reaching Sasuke Uchiha before Tobi got to him, unfortunately they were to late and once they arrived all they found was some blood stains and nothing more. No one took this harder then Naruto Uzumaki, he ended up punching a small already broken down statue before braking down in tears going on about something about why was he always to late when Charlotte Faith showed up saying:
"I will go with you...Tell you everything...Only if... Give me your word...That I will not be put in cages."
Naruto stopped punching the statue and turned angrily to Faith: "What the fuck is your deal lady...I thought you were apart of Sasuke's team, Doesn't it even bother you that he was just taken by that masked freak Tobi or whatever his name was...Why would you willingly go with us when you know we have to put you under arrest and what's this shit about cages...You do know if we arrest you that you have to go into a cell which is pretty much a cage...While I am at it, What the hell is the deal with you and that damn Fox...I am sick of him trying to take me over whenever you are near!"
"Naruto! Calm down...Stop taking your frustrations over Sasuke out on Faith...If she is willing to go with us, I am sure we can meet her demand since it is not that unreasonable, Besides there is something fishy about the charges brought upon her and I for one would like to get to the bottom of it."
After saying that Kakashi Hatake walked over to Charlotte Faith with a rope chain in his hands but when he want to touch her she jerked away out of instinct more than anything making Kakashi scratch his silver-haired head in confusion especially when the Ninja Dog Akamaru jumped in front of her growling at Kakashi baring his teeth ready to bite if need be.
"Ah easy there Akamaru I'm not going to hurt her...Sorry, Faith but I do have to bound your hands to make an official arrest...Even if you are willing, It's still Konoha policy, You understand right?"
"Dammit Akamaru, What has gotten into you today Boy?" complained Kiba Inuzuka as he marched over to his dog and dragged him away from Kakashi Hatake still growling and all.
Charlotte Faith's face turned a light shade of red before she spoke again:
"Don't like to be touched...To many bad memories..." She unconsciously reached up touching the scar on her face causing Kakashi Hatake to raise and eyebrow at her, before she want on saying:"But if you have too...Please do it quickly."
He nodded and before she knew it he done had her arms and hands tied behind her back making it official. Once that was done Kakashi Hatake signaled his group and they all retreated back to the Hidden Leaf Village mostly disappointed because they had failed their mission and Sasuke Uchiha was gone yet again.
Upon arriving at the Village all the Ninja took off to do their own thing, all that was except for Kakashi Hatake, Yamato, and Naruto Uzumaki. They were to report to the Hokage and escort the now under-arrest Charlotte Faith to her as well. Whatever was to happen next to the dark cloak wearing lady was entirely in Lady Tsunade's hands.
Another scared faced individual was already in Tsunade's office, Iruka Umino was finishing up his own report on the children at the academy where he was one of the teachers; when he seen one of his all time favorite former students Naruto Uzumaki walk into the room followed by Yamato and Kakashi Hatake with an unknown tied up woman which he quickly recognized as Charlotte Faith from the wanted posters all over the Village but it wasn't her he took interest in for he had seen the disappointment all over Naruto's face.
He decided to try to cheer up Naruto while Kakashi and Yamato filled in the Hokage.
"Hey Naruto, What's got you so down? If you want, We can go get some Ichiraku Ramen and talk about... I'll even buy."
"I don't think even Ramen will help me this time Iruka Sensei...As you can see Sasuke is not with us, Which means we failed our mission...Again."
Naruto was on the verge of tears which is what caused Faith to speak for the first time since Kakashi arrested her: "Wouldn't of mattered... Sasuke didn't want to come back."
Naruto rushed at Charlotte having had enough of her for one day only to find himself being restrained by Iruka. Faith however slammed herself against the nearest wall slide halfway down it, pure fear was clouding her face because what she said wasn't meant to be angering in anyway but more comforting. Uzumaki seeing this regained his composer as he just stood there in Iruka's headlock watching her wondering why in the world she reacted like that.
Tsunade sat at her desk watching Charlotte Faith too and she seen the I-told-you-so look Kakashi Hatake was giving her but chose to ignore it instead she cleared her throat and began talking:"I am not sure I fully understand what just happened there but Naruto go take your anger out on something else besides our arrested person of interests...I understand you are upset about Sasuke but if you can't control yourself then I am going to have to ask you to leave...Faith, You do know the charges brought up against you are very serious and the Iron-Fist Kingdom is very badly wanting to find you...As a matter of fact I am supposed to contact the head Knight, A young man by the name of Christian Fate and inform him of your whereabouts."
Tsunade purposely stopped talking after saying Christian's name because she wanted to see how Charlotte would react. As she expected she didn't take hearing his name to kindly, Faith set her hands ablaze burning the rope off of her wrists freeing herself something she could of done at anytime. She then kept looking back and forth between the Hokage and the door clearly trying to decide if she should make an escape or not.
Faith only stopped when Naruto yelled out: "NOT AGAIN, YOU DAMN FOX!"
Sure enough the same reddish orange glow of the Nine Tails Cloak was trying to overtake Naruto to get to her causing Iruka to let him out of the headlock he still had Naruto in and back away so that he was not harmed by It's tails, it also caused the few ANBU who guarded the Hokage to burst into the room with their weapons drawn as Lady Tsunade herself jumped up out of her chair backing herself into the wall behind them.
"No, Go back." was all Faith said and like before the tails started retreating turning Naruto into his self once again.
" WHY THE HELL DOES HE KEEP DOING THAT WHEN YOU'RE AROUND!?" yelled out Naruto after regaining his breath luckily for him this time the Fox didn't even get to 3 tails so the recovery was not that worrisome.
"Because, He just does." was all Faith was willing to say about the Nine-Tails, mostly because she didn't fully understand how it all worked herself and couldn't give Naruto a real answer.
The two ANBU in the room looked at each other as Tsunade came in front of them now that the fox was gone and want to Faith not believing what she just seen just like the two ANBU because no one has ever been able to control the Nine-Tails in the way that Charlotte Faith had just done in the entire history of dealing with the Kyuubi.
Kakashi came up beside the Hokage and put his hand on her shoulder before saying: "Pretty amazing isn't it and It's not just the Nine Tails but apparently every Beast that comes in contact with her, You can ask Kiba to bring Akamaru by if you doubt my words...That normally peaceful dog even tried to attack me because I had to tie her up to take her in."
"Yes but how does she do it, Is the question we should be asking...You two grab her, I want to inspect what is under that cloak...Maybe it will give us some clue as to how she is able to control the Nine Tails and use the Elements at will without any Chakra."
The ANBU done as the Hokage order of them and grabbed Charlotte Faith each one grabbing an arm and they tried to hold her still as Tsunade started to undo her cloak. This action seemed to upset the sensitive Iruka Umino a great deal because he found it unbefitting of a Hokage to treat someone in search a manner especially with the way Faith was screaming bloody murder and struggling to free herself.
"Lady Hokage...Is that really necessary? Look at the panic she is in...This doesn't seem right to me...Rather she is a criminal or not, With you being a women yourself, Shouldn't you have some sort of pity for her... After all you are stripping her in a room full of men."
"Shut Up Iruka! If you don't like it, There's the door...No one is forcing you to stay in the room...You can..." Tsunade stopped whatever she was going to say next as she finally got the cloak to come off, Her eyes grew wide as she tried to comprehend what exactly it was she was looking at.
"Oh god! What the hell is this? In all my years as a Medical Ninja, I have never once came across something remotely like what I am starring at right now!" She want ahead and pulled off the rest of Charlotte's clothes leaving her in nothing but her black bra and panties.
Faith finally jerked free of the ANBU holding her arms and tumbled backwards to the floor where she curled up into a ball and started sobbing uncontrollably like a child as everyone there stared at her with their mouths hang wide open as they inspected her now shaking nearly naked body not believing what they were seeing.
Charlotte Faith's body although it was entirely that of a female humans was not normal by any means for she had tiny multicolored ancient symbols craved deeply into just about every inch of her very flesh making it almost look like she had scales like a fish from far away but up close it was clearly different elemental symbols.
