"emotion leads one to hate... And hate leads one to conflict and war"
(last words, thinking about Third Hokage) "You are the leaves bathing in the sun, I... Am the roots that grow in the dark"
-Danzo Shimura-
~Story~
They stood there, frozen. In front of them was a long, black haired boy with big, black, menacing eyes and weird shaped eyebrows. The boy also just stood there, staring at the weird group.
Ashura turned pale, and slightly trembling
"Umm... Nii-san.. Weren't you supposed to be back... In one month?" Ashura asked.
"Yes, I am. And it has already been one month, my stupid otouto" Indra said, glaring at his younger brother. Ashura's eyes widened in shock, and he slowly turned his head to the others, smiling weakly and quietly gave a message 'I'm sorry I mistook the day'. The Hokages had their jaws on the floor.
"Oh, god.."-Hashirama
"Idiot IS and idiot"-Tobirama
"I didn't see this coming"-Hiruzen
"I wonder how we should react"-Minato
"Wow... Just, wow.."-Tsunade
"He is similar to someone I know.."-Kakashi
"Huh? What happens?"-Naruto
"So..." Indra started. He walked closer to the group, which stiffened.
"Have something to do with my old room?" Indra repeated what he asked.
Ashura gulped "we-well... We just found the seal on your old room gone, Nii-san. And... Uh... We just checked it... And wondered if something happened" Ashura explained, half lying.
Indra stared at him for a while, and then turned his gaze to the others.
"I won't forgive you if you lie to me again, Ashura. And you are lucky that something more interesting is happening here that I can forget what you did" Indra said, meaning that he already knew Ashura was lying.
"So... May I ask who are you lots?" Indra asked politely, but he was SMIRKING. He had a kind of threatening aura around him, which made the Hokages took a step back unconsciously.
'He is strong' Minato tought when he felt Indra's chakra and of course the others also knew it from their instincts
"What should we do?" Tsunade whispered to the others
"We have to make an excuse, anything which makes sense" Hashirama answered
"One thing for sure, we can't run away even if we can" Kakashi said with a troubled look.
"Right. That will make us even more suspicious" Tobirama agreed with Kakashi
"And we REALLY can't say that we..." Hiruzen's sentence was cut by Naruto
"We are Konohagakure's Shinobi!"
The others had their mouths hang open.
'HE SAID IT!'
They thought together.
Before the Hokages beside Naruto could make an excuse, Indra spoke up
"And what is Shinobi? I've never heard that word before"
"Of course you haven't. You aren't from...-uphh" Naruto's mouth was covered by Kakashi, preventing him from saying anymore unnecessary things.
"What is it?" Indra asked again.
"We... Are just guests." Hashirama finally said. Everyone turned to him. Hashirama gave a quick sign with his hand, and Tobirama quickly touch Hashirama's back.
"We are just travelers who lost, and Ashura...sama... Offered us some helps to stay at this house, but we have to practice together with him in exchange" Hashirama said again, smiling weakly.
'Please, buy it' they pleaded in their minds.
(Silence)
"Well, you guys do look strong. Just ask if you need anything" Indra said before turning around and walked to the other way.
The Hokages stayed in silence
'He is actually nice..' They thought
Indra stopped, and turned his head to see them
"Just some advices. Don't disturb me. And... You have to go from this house after you are bored with Ashura" he said again with a smirk
'He is actually a real evil..' They thought again, taking their previous thinking.
When Indra had completely left them, they exhaled their breath they didn't realize they were holding.
"Aw! That was super tense!" Ashura stretched his hands, given the nods from the others.
"What was that, though?" Hiruzen suddenly asked. The others gave him confused looks.
"I mean... That guy... He can feel our Chakra, right? That's why he knew if Ashura was lying... Because he felt the reaction of Ashura's Chakra. But why did he not realize Hashirama-sama was lying?" Hiruzen explained.
"Could it be.. He did it on purpose so he can make our guards down and he can watch for us easily?" Tsunade made a guess.
"It was me" Tobirama said out of the blue
"I made Anija's Chakra calmer with my own Chakra. Since ours are similar" Tobirama said, sighing in relief that Indra didn't realize.
"So that's what the sign means" Kakashi said, because he noticed the sign Hashirama made to ask for Tobirama's help before.
"Alright! Let's go!" Naruto said, taking the lead. Everyone stared at him, wondering what.
"Let's go eat. I'm hungry" Naruto continued with a pout.
