Tsunade was now in office as Hokage and Sasuke was in the hospital. Kenji had checked out after Teruko healed her eyes. Sasuke was left alone in the hospital. He stared at the ceiling listening to the clock tick.
Then he heard the sound of glass shattering.
! He immediately sat up and looked at the door. He threw the blanket off and got out of bed. He went downstairs to the lobby and stood behind a corner. He braced himself and activated his Sharingan.
He jumped out from the corner ready to fight and then was shocked. He let his guard down and only looked.
Pieces of glass and blood were everywhere all surrounding a body. Kenji's body who was beaten and had blood coming from her mouth and down her face from her head. But Sasuke was looking at her back. With her stomach down she was topless with the Hyuga clan symbol etched into her back.
"Kenji?" he called for her.
". . help me. . . please. . ." she struggled to open her eyes. Sasuke ran for help.
In the morning Tsunade was sitting in her desk with Shizune at her side. Bored and unenthusiastic about the paperwork laid in front of her. She just sighed and looked looked at it. As if her eyes alone could get that work done. Only to be scolded by Shizune. "Hey! Tsunade-sama! You're shouldn't be slacking off. It hasn't even been a week since you've become Hokage yet."
Tsunade groaned, "But-!"
Then they heard a rumbling. It gradually got louder.
! The door was knocked down in a big cloud of dust and smoke. "Babaaaa!" Teruko was there with her foot extended and her eyes glowing viciously.
"Oh my. I tried to stop her." Kakashi said sheepishly.
"Tsunade!" Teruko slammed her hands on the desk making all her paperwork jump.
Shizune sweated. "I've never seen any young girl stand up to Tsunade-sama like this." she thought.
"I never thought you'd be Hokage with your spoiled attitude and gambling! But now that you are, you should be protecting the villagers!" Teruko outbursted.
"The village is not in danger, Teruko." Tsunade told her seriously.
Teruko laughed at her, "Hah! I thought you would learn from your losses. But losing both of your brothers wasn't enough was it?"
"Teruko! While I'm the Hokage you will not speak poorly of my dead relatives." Tsunade said.
"Well then." Teruko said and flipped the table making it land upside down with papers flying everywhere. "You better start acting like the Hokage!" she stormed out of the office.
Tsunade frowned, "What a brat." she said with her arms crossed.
"Don't be so cross with her, Godaime. She and my entire team for the matter are all very upset right now." Kakashi asked of her.
"Why's that?" Tsunade asked.
"Well one of my disciples was in critical condition because of an attack." Kakashi started. "You see the Sandaime passed a rule that no one was to speak of the nine tailed fox being sealed into a boy. That boy is my student now. And the Sandaime told me a lot about another two of my disciples. One who is a massacre survivor, and the other is well. . . A near martyr." he said.
"Huh?"
"My team has a very unfortunate forth member. She has a kekkei genkai that the village has never seen before. People fear what they don't know, and that's why our village despises her for her kekkei genkai." Kakashi explained. "When the Sandaime was around he stood in the way of these kinds of things. But now that he's gone and you don't know these unwritten rules there was no mercy."
Yesterday afternoon Kenji was playing with the Konohamaru and his friends. "Then now we have our first female Hokage!?" Moegi asked her.
"Yeah. If you guys ever see her be sure to show your support." Kenji told them.
"Hai!" they all said in unison.
Then a group of adults stopped behind her and the kids looked up.
! Kenji felt two hands attack her chakra network system. The air was knocked out of her and she was grabbed by the back of her forehead protector. The kids gasped. "My chakra points!" she thought. She looked up at the adults, "Don't hurt them." Kenji ordered.
"We don't have to."
She was knocked out. Her forehead protector lay on the floor like a dead leaf.
! A palm struck her in the leg fracturing her bone. "Aaaaahhhh!" she grabbed her leg and her eyes brimmed with tears. She already had a kunai knife lodged in her knee. A man grabbed the knife and yanked it out.
She watched the blood spill out. Her body was shaking and her vision focused and looked up at the faces of the Hyuga clan. "Why?" she asked.
She lay on ground. "I thought we were on good terms. I fought with only one member of your clan and that was long ago. During the Chunin exams! So why all of this hatred!? We're both Konoha ninja. We're not enemies!" she asked.
"You're wrong. You were not born in Konoha. You're from somewhere else outside the village. The Anbu captured you and that old fool of Hokage let you live here and be a ninja. What was the geezer even thinking?"
! He struck a nerve and Kenji was shocked. "That old man," she got up enraged. "Gave his life protecting the v-!"
She was hit on the head with a metal bar. Her head started bleeding. She was on the ground again and this time she said nothing. "She's not saying anything now." the Hyuga members all showed the Byakugan on their faces.
They all looked into her chakra network system. All at once they landed blows attacking her internal organs.
Her body started breaking little by little and blood came from her mouth. Soon the room was silent except for her breathing. Her blood was all over the floor and two people held her arms.
Her jacket and shirt was ripped off. She reacted this time just a tiny bit when the knife cut into her broken back. They carved the Hyuga clan symbol into her back.
Then she was thrown over someone's shoulder and spent a walk watching the ground. She was then hurled off and through the hospital window. She landed in the broken glass. "Consider this the next time you see the Hyuga clan. We do not hold back." he said and left.
In the current time Teruko was sitting in the ramen shop next to Kakashi. "You should've seen her, her spine was broken and her skull was cracked and I saw. . . I saw the Hyuga clan symbol. . ." she said. "How could this village be so cruel?"
"I don't think this is the first time this kind of thing has happened to her." Kakashi told her. "I'm just glad they didn't go for her heart. Then she would've been killed."
"Also it's not like yours but Kenji has some regenerative power. I'm sure some of her wounds recovered on their own and that way she won't be in the hospital for too long." he comforted her.
Kenji was unconscious in her bed. She was all wrapped up especially around her head and there were bandages on her arms. There was a pale hand on her own. Sasuke was by her side. Looking at her exhausted face, there was a bandage stuck to her cheek and since last night all the blood was cleaned off.
Sasuke reached out and touched her black hair that had grown down to her shoulders. His hand then moved to her eyelids. He opened up her eye. He looked at her Rinnegan eye.
Then his eyes moved at the door opening. "Sasuke?" Naruto stood there holding an amaryllis in his hand. He saw Sasuke over Kenji's unconscious body, with his fingers in her eye.
"What are you doing?"
