"Where are my friends?" Karin immediately questions while she carefully observes her boss, Lord Orochimaru, studies the menu in front of him.
"I don't know." He was simply answering once his eyes were moving up and down in search of what he was in the mood to eat for tonight.
"What do you mean you don't know?" She impulsively snapped at the pale skinned male in front of her, which drew unwanted attention from the other patrons.
"I didn't know you considered them as your friends." Orochimaru honestly retorts before he calmly snaps the menu close since he selects what he wants.
Karin quirks one of her eyebrows up at the male's response as she feels her anger escalates faster and faster because of his witty counters.
"If you call those who you work with your friends then they were all arrested." He was adding in while staring at the beautiful red haired woman in front of him.
"Arrested? Do you know what precinct they are in?" She probes for further information after she places emphasis on the word arrested when she speaks.
"They probably already been booked in so you won't be able to visit them any time soon." He claims once he raises his right hand up in the air as if to send a signal to someone.
Karin clenched her fists out of anger at her boss initial reaction to the fact that his workers have been recently arrested for a crime that she knew they did not commit.
She slams her fists against the surface of the table, which causes the glasses to shake from the vibrations, "How can you sit here so calmly and not care about your workers who made your money for you?!"
A waiter approached the table with a pen and pad ready to jot down their respective orders.
As Orochimaru submits his order to the waiter, Karin could not help but to continue to worry about her friends, who were probably somewhere in a cold jail cell.
His voice breaks her away from her thoughts as he proceeds to explain the legal process on the girls' arrest. "That's because they were falsely charged and no evidence was found to indict them so they will be out no later than tomorrow morning."
Orochimaru then sent the waiter off before he returned his focus back on to his fiery guest of honor. She appeared peeved at the fact that he did not supply any straightforward answers to her question.
"It's too bad that the only thing you want to discuss is legal jargon. You just can't accept the fact when I say that nothing bad will happen to them, can you?" He was alleging while leaning one of his cheeks inside of his open palm.
His question causes her to halt before she could develop a good sarcastic remark to her boss' questions.

"You!" Neji unexpectedly hisses as his pearly white pupils land on the indigo haired woman with similar eyes once she steps pass Ibiki's wide frame.
Hinata was peering in the direction of the voice before her eyes widen at the sight of the male in front of her with the same eyes as her. He was quickly drawing near her.
What occured next seemed to have been in slow motion as Neji lifted his right arm up, balled his fists, connected with her jaw and proclaimed, "It's all your fault!"
Kakashi, Guy, and Asuma just so happened to emerge from their routine workout just in time to see the brunette male sucker punchEd the indigo haired woman.
Naruto's eyes was watching the sight of one of his workers sucker punching a defenseless woman causing him to reaction with anger.
"Neji!" He piercingly bellows right before he launches at the brunette. The blonde was completely unaware that there were two incoming bodies on the move.
Kakashi and Guy immediately jumped to action and managed to restrain the agitated brunette, who continued on his tirade.
Naruto feels a heavier weight around his neck region before he realizes that he was in a chokehold by none other than Asuma.
"Calm down, Naruto." He harshly uttered in the irate blonde's ear as he desperately attempted to break the hold only to grow weary after each failure.
The girls shockingly gasped at what occurred since Hinata was now on her knees. She was gently rubbing her now red swollen cheek in order to ease the pain.
"What has gotten into you Neji?!" Guy bitterly questioned since this was the first time he had ever seen the brunette male act of his usual compose manner.
"She's the reason…" He was angrily snapping at the bowl hair cut male clad in green spandex while tries to wiggling out of the grasps of his mentor.
His words apparently struck a chord within Hinata as she glancesd up at the brunette male with teary eyes.
"She's the reason why my father was murdered!" Neji angrily accuses before he turns his harsh gaze on to the woman, who is his cousin.
"What's going on here?" Tsunade's voice easily cut through the commotion and ceasesd the lively actions of the others.
"Ma'am…" Shizune begins to speak up only to be cut off from a rumbustious Naruto, "That arrogant bastard Neji punched a defenseless woman as if she was a man!"
She swiftly casted her glance from Shizune onto a restrained Naruto by Asuma and then rested on Neji in a similar position.
"Guy and Hayate take Hyῡga to solitary confinement. Sarutobi throw Uzumaki in Interrogation room B. Mitarashi and Shizune escort these women to the conference room. Ibiki complete the procedure and report back to me." The Adminstrator instantly issued out orders amassed the confusion from her subordinates.
"I will take care of her." She was adding after peering down at the indigo haired woman right before they begin to move in order to execute their assign orders.
"I won't forgive you Hinata!" Neji loudly barked while he was being dragged away from the skirmish, which prompted a reaction from Naruto, "Shut up, you bastard!"
"Oi…the dobe has gone and done it now." Sasuke states as he shakes his head left and right at the blonde's actions.
Sasuke and Kiba merely spectated Neji being toted off to solitary confinement, Naruto being thrown inside of Ibiki's designated interrogation rooms, the women being escorted to the conference room and the Administrator being nice to the woman name Hinata Hyῡga.
"…looks like things will be a lot more interesting now." Kiba was admitting with a slight chuckle after they were observing the disarray over one woman.

"It looked like he has cooled down...at least somewhat." Kakashi commented once they were separated away from the fiasco that just took place a couple of minutes ago.
Guy stares down at the male in their clutches, who now resembles a lifeless doll since he ceases any extra movement.
"I'll get the door." Kakashi said once they drew near the room that was designated as solitary confinement whenever one of the suspects would act disorderly.
Guy carefully adjusts his hold on the now calm young man while Kakashi removes his grasps from around his arm in order to open up the door.
'What's gotten into you Neji?' He inwardly ponders to himself as he tugs his former disciple inside of the small room and props him against the corner.
"You know the rules once you are in solitary confinement." Kakashi was mentioninh while Guy was releasing his hold on the brunette and back tracking his steps.
Neji diligently remained silent. The only sound that could be heard was when Kakashi slid the door close after Guy emerged from the room.
His head slowly lolls to the right until his open palm eventually enters his field of vision. The brunette simply watches as he constantly folds his bony fingers closer to his fleshy palm.
"It's all her fault…" He was dejectedly muttering to no one while tightly clenching his fist until drawing blood.
He raise his blood stained hand to his eye level, examined it, closed his fingers in to a fist, slammed the side of it against the wall and huffed, "She's the one that killed my father."

Karin sat in an awkward silence since her initial plan to discover if her boss knew where her friends were resulted in failure. She felt utterly dejected.
'How can I sit here and enjoy this meal while they are probably starving?' She considers to herself before she feels her appetite shrivels away at the thought.
Orochimaru breaks away from his food when he hears a "thunk" noise from in front of him. He closely studies his guest's unappreciative facial expression.
"Is there something wrong?" The older man was questioning after crossing her arms and pushing away from the table.
"I would like to go back home. I've lost my appetite." Karin bluntly stated before she raised to her feet and proceeded to walk out on Orochimaru.
THe maître de observes the red haired woman abruptly exits the restaurant without his company.
"My Lord, do you want us to stop her?" He was dutifully posing after cantering up to the raven haired male.
"No." Orochimaru simply replies before he adds with a chuckle, "It appears as if I have angered my special guest."
The maître de wears an expression of confusion on his face after he hears what one of the restaurant expensive patrons claim.
"Wrap her order up and deliver it to her home." He was simply ordering while continuing to dine on his own food.
"Yes sir." The maître de consents to the order and then bows at the waist before he executes the order.
"Oh and throw in a bottle of wine since she was such a good sport and participated." He included as a gesture of a gentleman.
"It wouldn't be right of me if I let her go home hungry." Orochimaru says to no one in particular after he swallows his food.
2222
Asuma finally released the frustrated blonde male inside of the room. Ibiki swiftly closed the door behind them since the brunette's arms were already occupied with Naruto.
"Are you calm?" He coolly asked after he released the young male from his hold. The blonde slightly stumbles closer to the metal table.
Naruto was abruptly flipping the table over with one of his hands while replying with a, "Hell no! I'm not fine!"
"How can you all be so calm after that jerk just punched a woman in the face as if she was a man?" He angrily stresses right before he punches the wall with one of his fists.
Asuma noticed that the blonde boy's head faced downward before he lifted it up and muttered, "He could've hit me instead."
"No one is condoning the fact that a man, let alone an officer of the law, hit a woman. That is why he is in solitary confinement." He explains the reason why the Administrator orders for Kakashi and Guy to separate them.
"If you don't calm down yourself, you will be right in there along with him." He added after he observed the blonde's tyrant actions that were similar to the brunette male.
Asuma was releasing a "humph" noise while tucking his arms underneath his chest when an idea was passing through his mind, which was materializing to a grin on his face. "You care for her, don't you?"
Naruto nervously stammers while he tries to conceal the blush that surfaces across his cheeks after he overhears his question.
"Are you going to reprimand me because of that?" He questioned as he peered over his shoulder toward the older man out of the two.
"Whoa there you knuckleheaded boy…" The brunette quickly voices with his palms toward the young man as a means to deter his thoughts elsewhere.
"I'm not here to lecture you about what just happened because I felt that you were in the right to defend a woman's honor."
"Now with your love life on the other hand, I definitely can't help you with that." He was admitting with a chortle at the boy's childish reaction to his statement.
"Just know that it is nothing wrong with admiring a woman's beauty, especially one such as herself." Asuna sincerely advises right before he steps to the side so he could glance out of the small square window on the door.
"It's just too bad that there was too much hatred in Neji's heart that he would try to mar such a beautiful young woman."
"Anyways, don't come out until your head is completely out of your ass and you can think clearly." Asuma sternly advised the blonde before he took his leave.
