"I… am waiting for my brother" Hana said quietly, almost like a whisper. Tsunade didn't say anything, letting the younger girl to continue.
"he.. He said that he would come back, b-but he hasn't.." Hana started to stutter. Tears flooding her big, black eyes.
"Alright, alright. Don't cry.." Tsunade patted her shoulders as she began sniffing. Interrogating wasn't much of Tsunade's hobby, much less interrogating a cute, little, innocent girl, so she decided to not ask anything more before the kid calmed down. But as time passed , Hana cried louder and louder. Then she kept repeating 'nii-chan' between her cries. Tsunade and Kakashi panicked, not knowing what to do.
"What did you do to her, Tsunade-hime?" asked Kakashi.
"Hey! I didn't do anything! She just cried all of a sudden!" yelled Tsunade, trying to free herself from the accusation.
"yeah, suddenly of course" Kakashi stated sarcastically, as Tsunade's veins popped.
"Uh.. Hana-chan… calm down, okay? Come on.. " Tsunade tried her best to stop the kid from crying, but failed miserably.
Minutes passed with a nonstop cry from the black haired girl. Then, Tsunade lost her cool, and..
"CALM DOWN YOU LITTLE SH*T! WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU FIND YOUR BROTHER SO STOP CRYING, GOT IT?!"
"…"
"… well, who knows scolding her would work" Kakashi sweatdropped.
.
"so we're gonna help this girl?" Ashura asked, folding his hands. Now Kakashi, Tsunade and Hana were at Ashura's place with the other hokages. They needed privacy, after all. And talking at the top of a cliff doesn't sound much of a privacy.
"From the looks of it, yeah" Tsunade said, a title bit embarrassed because it was because of her that they had to do such a troublesome thing.
"Oh well. I don't mind at all!" said Hashirama with a really big smile, patting Hana's head. Looks like he was going to spoil the child.
"I don't mind either. Besides, we can use this opportunity to train. Right, sensei?" asked Hiruzen.
Tobirama and Hiruzen stared at each other for a second, seemed like they were having some sort of an internal conversation, because then a smirk came to Tobirama's face "yeah, that's right. To train" he agreed
"wow, old man sandaime really knows how to convince people to do something. Huh?" Naruto said because he didn't think Tobirama would agree so easily. Strange that, they all had only known each other for a little while, but it felt like they had already understood each other.
' I think it's more like they are plotting something', Minato shivered a little, looking at the Nidaime's excited, yet scary face.
"alright! It's settled then!" Hashirama kneeled down a little so he was the same height as Hana
"Can you describe your brother, Hana-chan?" asked him. Hana seemed to be thinking about it for a while, then she opened her mouth.
"…stupid…"
"..huh?"
".. He is stupid, a complete moron, retarded, loud, noisy, careless, weird, eccentric, antisocial…" she stopped as her mouth was closed by Hashirama "alright, that's enough for his personality", Hashirama said, sweating.
"those are some mean things to say.." Naruto commented
"Did she just change her personality or something?" Kakashi asked to himself
"maybe" Hiruzen strangely answered Kakashi.
"kid, you shouldn't badmouth you brother like that. Respect your older sibling" Tobirama said
"those words mean nothing, coming out from your mouth, sensei" Hiruzen automatically said, being given a death glare from the white haired hokage.
"Her description of 'describing' is all about the personality, huh?" Tsunade murmured.
"..but he is really kind.." Hana mumbled after Hashirama let go of her mouth. And it looked like he was the only one who heard that.
"then, how about the appearance?" Tsunade asked, sounding serious
"He is tall.. Age 17. And has the same hair and eye color as me. He is also fair-skinned" Hana explained simply.
"How about the hair?"
"er.. It's spiky. I think it reaches his neck" Hana seemed to try her best to remember
"Any striking characteristics?"
"Uh.. I think there isn't any… he looks normal.. I think"
"well, those should be enough" Hashirama sighed. "so, someone comes to mind?" he turned to see Ashura, who was putting on a thinking face.
"erm… not really. I've met so many people with the age of 17 and have black hair and eyes" he said with an unsure tone. Hana's face looked a little bit gloomier after hearing that.
"Then we just have to try our best and find him with all the information we have right?" Hiruzen stood up from his leaning position.
"yea, the old man is right! Nothing we get from just talking!" Naruto exclaimed full of spirit. Hiruzen twitched because of Naruto's remark, but he let it slide. The blond would never change his way of talking, anyway. The others seemed to agree, as they prepared to have a searching party.
"Hana-chan, you can go home now. I'll bring you back to the cliff. Just leave your brother to us, alright?" Tsunade winked. Hana's face lightened up, and she nodded. "I will join you guys later" said Tsunade to the others, waving her hand, before bringing Hana back.
"Alright, let's split up, then. That's faster than looking for him together" Hashirama started
"Before that… hey Minato" Tobirama called the yondaime.
"What is it, nidaime-sama?"
Tobirama walked towards him, and whispered something on his ears. Then, Minato looked surprised a little, as Tobirama handed him a scroll.
"so this is why you agreed to help that girl.. I was wondering about that" Minato looked hopeless, though accepting the scroll Tobirama gave him.
"I do feel sorry for he girl. But it's not like I'm abandoning her, either. We have to remember our main mission. Shinobi has priorities." Tobirama warned, his eyes flashing
"..yeah" Minato nodded "I know that" he said. Deep down, he knew that they actually didn't have time to be helping a villager. But he couldn't leave the girl on her own like that. 'well, it's not like what the nidaime is telling me to do is dangerous for anyone, anyway.' With that thought, he and the others went out to began their search.
.
"alright, I'm going now." Tsunade said after she brought Hana back to the cliff. Hana said 'thank you' and waved at the older girl. She seemed a little bit relieved and more relaxed.
"Ah, wait" Tsunade stopped moving as she turned back to look at Hana.
"how long has your brother been missing?" she asked.
"I think it's since…. "
.
"Hey" Kakashi tried to get the attention, before they started to go to different ways "Didn't we forget to ask something?" he said after the eyes were on him.
"What is it, Kakashi?" Hashirama asked.
"well… we don't even know his name"
"…"
"well, shit"
Finally! My exams are all over for this year! Woohoo! Oh well, I'm going to use this holiday as good as I can. Cause other exams and intensive study are waiting next year QwQ
I'm planning on updating a chapter at the end or at the beginning of the year. And I think that chapter is going to be just a bonus chapter or something (I'm planning a little bit of some action, though), but.. Dunno ^_^
So sorry for the short chapter I'll try to do better next time,
And here are my answers,

i am planning on doing some more actions ;) it's challenging (and kinda hard and fun) to write. And I'll try to make everyone shines, ahahha. I also like Tsunade. She is, like, the third most favorite girl in Naruto for me. After Kushina and Temari of ccourse ;) Thank you
