Naruto goes to Kishimoto.
Yasu stood with Kakashi Hatake and the other leaf Jonin while the genin were gathered below for explanations on what to expect. Seeing the computer run and put two names in view was like a strange domino effect, where after new names came fast and it was more like a flowing motion instead of everyone acting stiff.
Yasu clung to the railing watching each fight until the end, her eyes darting to each new winner worrying over what may happen to Haku, if not careful.
Sasuke gought first against someone, the name slipped my mind, but I watched the fight enthralled by it as the seen played through, Sasuke showing his skill enough to finally beat his opponent, given that his chakra was getting sucked up gradually and he seemed pastily ill instead of normal.
Watching the others was a mix of calm and anxiety building within Yasu at the thought that someone could be more of a threat to Haku then wanted, only for a hand to suddenly be on her shoulder.
Turning her head to the hand then up to Kakashi, "Haku is a capable young man, don't worry." Yasu gave a stiff nod, not willing to consent exactly, but couldn't help seeing truth in the words as well. Haku was strong, smart and capable to do anything when he plans accordingly, but I might be the one who is holding him back.
Yasu took a deep breathe and looked around for a moment before leaving for the infirmary to escape the next match up and check around the maze-like building slowly, curiosity taking over. She saw the match between Gaara and Rock lee while there and felt her instincts jump to attention, like she was almost gonna go in to defend the strangely dressed boy like the teacher did whom was dressed as the student was. The teacher and student seem to have a bond they show through wearing similar attire, but to jump into danger is risky, why did I feel tempted to do it?
'Is it because I could reunite with my family if I do jump into danger or am I feeling merciful for that wretch?' Yasu shook her head, "I am getting soft around these shinobi... when is Zabuza coming back so we can take on our enemy and goals?" I wondered quietly, not wanting to be heard but preferring some sound to none at all.
Seeing how the green clad teen was feeling was easier than expected as she was a foreign shinobi and this teen was injured by a foreign shinobi, so it would seem harder to do, but maybe they expect civility outside of the match.
Looking over the bedridden teen was a sweet moment for Yasu, it made her remember caring for Haku when he got injured in training and needed to stay in bed, but that little boy was determined to get better for Zabuza and my sake. She knew that she was soft towards Haku, but could handle it, but to find out she was meant to be in this village, the village hidden in leaves.
'Would she have been killed already? Married someone or able to stop what had happened if she was actually around?' Her hands clenched as she looked down to the unconscious green shinobi on the hospital bed, but she was not focused on Rock Lee and could only look down as she thought about everything, 'Why did I have to survive when others could have? How come I could not stop the massacre?! When did it happen?' More questions seemed to build in her mind, but no answers seem to be in sight.
Yasu was still sitting in the medical facility near Rock Lee by the end of the preliminary rounds, when Kakashi got to her with Haku walking just behind the jonin. "Yasu-san everything is finished." Haku started, but Kakashi spoke up, "Haku passed to the third assessment, and everything went smoothly." Yasu could only manage a strained smile for she was excited for Haku to be able to do more, but she still had not even started on her own investigation on what happened to the Uchiha clan and exactly why.
"Great Haku. Where is Naruto? Maybe can celebrate with him." Trying to move things along, but even without looking at the two shinobi, Yasu knew they noticed her odd actions, however slight it actually was.
"Is Zabuza-san okay? Did he contact for assistance, for my aid?" Haku starts slightly anxious, Yasu could have sworn she saw Kakashi stiffen because of hearing the swordman's name. She could not say he did as an excuse it would be cruel to someone she saw as her own comrade and the only one to keep her back when it was just them.
"No... I just have a bit to find out." Yasu spoke softly, then starts pushing everyone out of the room Rock Lee occupied temporarily. Knowing he needed rest kept her strong at pushing everyone far from the building and towards where she hoped Naruto would be hanging out at after medical assistance, if ever needed, which was Ichiraku's Ramen shop.
'What would have happened to Zabuza and Haku if I was in the Leaf instead of the mist? Would Zabuza still have a surviving team, instead of a broken one? I am sorry Miki, why did you have to die?' Lifting a hand to rub at my eyes before they could water at all, then narrowed my eyes and thought grimly 'Nevermind... if I was in the leaf... I could, and probably would of been killed. Miki would be a live, but lose her child crush to duty... or abandon it for Zabuza...' giving a tired sigh then mumbled, "Duty or Comrades?" Hoping no leaf would hear my own inquiries about how my life seemed to be.
Yasu has internal conflict over 'what happened?' She tried to save people, although unintentional at first.
