Madara entered the room with all of the command of a leader and all of the pompous regality of a nobelty . There was a lofty tilt to his chiseled jaw and one hand was folded behind his back, the other over his chest.
"Madara Sama …" the man who was interrogating her tensed as soon as he saw his leader . Sakura rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. She snorted indelicately, her eyes spinning round to fall on the man who has been holding her captive for 2 days now, their eyes caught for a moment.
She resisted the urge to throw something at him and instead settled on squinting at him with eyes narrowed in suspicion. She could have sworn she saw an upwards quirk, just a hint of expression, on his wide mouth but it was wiped away before she could be sure.
"sir ," Kazuki the man who had been interrogating her started in at him, "I was about to finish —"
Madara held up a hand in dismissal and the white haired man stopped short, "have you found anything new?"
Sakura snorted, anything new? What does that even mean?
"No , your Highness."
Replied the man.
This time she raised her eyebrows , your highness?? Seriously? Were the Uchihas reduced to some kind of monochry in this dimension ?
"leave us ."
Madara ordered the man, eyes still on her.
As soon as the man walked out of the room, the Uchiha took the seat opposite from her.
"You'r finally awake. " He Muttered.
"You'r very observant, your highness ." she Muttered, her voice full of sarcasm, apparently madara wasn't in the mood to play with her today for he gave her one of his deadly glares and she wonderd how many people in a day got glared at like that.
"You'd do well to remember that you are my prisoner woman. After what you did to my men, I will not be so kind as to kill you" the Uchiha spatt, gone all the good mood of two days ago , now this was more like the Madara she knew .
Sakura smirked "It's not my fault if your men are so weak."
The Uchiha gritted his teeth in frustration.
"If I were you woman I would cease being flippant"
Sakura shrugged " Sorry, flippant is the only way I know to be, if you don't like it, ignore me or better yet, let me go."
This time when Madara took few steps toward her the kinoichi braised herself and attempted to fight back, of course it was basically impossible to fight without her Chakra, for Madara had sealed her Chakra after her failure attempt to escape, but she had to try .
The Uchiha grabbed her hand forcefully and pushed her against the wall cornering her with his much bigger body, his face merely inches away from hers.
"Listen to me witch, I will figure out what you'r hiding, and then _" he leand to her ears before adding "You'd be begging me to kill you, cause the things am planing to do with you are much worse"
He backed a little to see her expression, the Uchiha loved to see her fuming with anger, but what he saw was anything but anger, it was sadness, pure sadness, her green eyes were the color of Strom_tossed leaves, dark yet bright full of sorrow and pain, if madara were a lesser man he might feel sorry for the girl, what could have made her this sad in the fraction of a moment? He wondered.
The woman tried to push him, but her hands were too weak,
"let me go" her voice cracked, full of pain, now Madara was a lot of things, but he certainly wasn't that heartless, that's why
He released her immediately and took steps away from her trembling body.
"You need clothes " he said while looking at her exposed legs and short skirt, he can't have his interrogation team see her like this anymore, it wasn't good for anyone.
" I thought you'd rather see me freeze to death " she said, back her normal challenging voice.
" Not before I pay you back for hurting my men, not before that."
Sakura shrugged, it's true that in her failures escape some guards tried to stop her and ended up with some injuries, but it's not like they were fatal or anything.
"they were in my way, it wasn't my fault"
Madara smirked "You seem to be very confident in you abilities witch, I hope you stay that way when am done with you, for I like my womens to be challenging, it excites me to no end."
Her face fell, she knows what he's trying to do, he's trying to break her down mentally nothing more.
"You'r every bit the bastard I'v always heard you to be Uchiha Madara."
The Uchiha's smirk turned into a wide smile " Hoping to regain ground with compliments, witch ?"
"there is nothing about you worth complimenting Uchiha."
Not bothering to respond madara walked to the door and gave her one last look before walking out.
Hashirama wasn't sure how to deal with the new prisoner, in normal circumstances he'd kill her on the spot, but this girl was a huyga and if her clan was looking for her he needed to give her back to them, it's true that Senju and huyga were not friends but they weren't enemies either, killing one of them might cause troubles for both clans, especially killing a main family member, for this girl was not sealed.
There's another reason he wasn't sure what to do with her, it's the way she talked, no hints of lies at all, she had talked about coming from another dimension and Tobirama couldn't sense any lies in her story, she might be a professional lier, trained to deceive the best of sensors though.
The Senju sighed running a hand through his brown hair
"What have you decided?"
Tobirama appeared out of nowhere as usual.
Hashirama tensed "For the GODS sake Tobi, stop sneaking on me like that, can't you use the door like a normal human been."
Tobirama ignored him as he repeated his question "What have you decided?"
Hashirama rolled his eyes at his impatient brother "Nothing yet, it's just that I can't stop thinking about the story she told us"
" The other dimension bullshit! Seriously?"
The white haird man said in a mocking ton .
Hashirama glared at him
"You, yourself said she wasn't lying"
He pointed out.
Tobirama shrugged.
"That doesn't prove anything Anija, she must be a professional spy, trained to hide the truth"
Tobirama had a point, for what the girl told them was close to impossible , it can't be true, no one had ever traveled dimensions, or at least he had never heard of someone who did that, but still something inside of him bugged the Senju to wait, to think about it.
"Anija!" Tobirama Muttered with a scowl on his face "You can't seriously believe what the huyga girl said."
Hashirama took a deep breath "No, of course not, but I want to make sure we'r doing the right thing, that's why I sent a letter to the Uchiha's asking them to send us one of their people who can read mémoires"
Tobirama blanched "What the -"
Hashirama raised his hand to stop his brother.
"Let's go, I still need to ask her some questions, you come with me."
Flashback
Hinata used the tree to pull herself to standing, she activated her byakugan to look for him, when she found him she let out a cry.
He was there laying face down, his blond hair matted with blood, his leg twisted in a odd angle.
"No" à small wail escaped her lips, and. She struggled to walk toward him. Dropping down beside him on the floor she rolled him over, Naruto's eyes fluttered underneath their lids.
"Naruto" she murmured touching his bloodied face.
He steered under her touch, taking in a breath as a trickel of blood steered down his mouth.
"Naruto" She whispered his name again, tears running down her face, she buckled forward and rested her forehead on his
"Please don't, please don't go please Naruto please" her breath coming out in a harsh rattling gasps, her tears choking her.
"St...stay " the blond managed to chock out the word, his bleu eyes opening for the briefest of a moment " You and boruto stay safe... I'm... I'm sorry"
Hot tears burned her eyes but she hugged him one last time whispering I love you to him, she felt his Chakra fades, the last bit of of strength he's been holding faded away, Hinata felt rage, she wanted to go find the monster and kill it or be dead, but someone touched her shoulder stopping her from doing anything stupid
"Sasuke"
The Uchiha stood in front of her, face pale, eyes bloody, he looked half dead himself.
he mentioned for her to take his hand, but she refused and instead launched at him.
Sasuke manged to avoid her sloppy attempt of attack and let out a curse.
"What the heck are you trying to do Huyga? "
"You" she spatt "You left him to die, how dare you leave him to die alone, he was your friend, he trusted you, I trusted you"
Sasuke's eyes moved to rest on Naruto's lifeless body, an odd expression on his face "He was going to die either way"
He said.
"But you could have tried, why? , why did you do that? Why didn't you fight with him to the last breath? "
Sasuke's eyes twitched in irritation.
"If I stayed both of us would be dead by now, and you know who's next? You, boruto, and anyone who's still alive, I left the fight so I can save what can be saved"
He snapped at her, and hinata could feel the rage reeking out of the Uchiha man.
"Do you think I would let anything happen to him if I had a choice?, do you think I might run away from a fight to save my myself? "
Hinata was speechless for the sadness she saw in the Uchiha eyes was real, she should know better than to accuse Sasuke of running out of a battel, he sure had his reasons, besides Naruto trusted him.
" Let's get out of here before she find us "
He instructed.
"Where?" she said looking around her, is there a place safe from Kaguya?
"I'm using my life chakara to transfer you, Sakura and the kids to another dimension"
The Senju compound.
Tobirama scrutinized the huyga appearance as his brother talked to her
Her face was turned to the window, staring out blankly. She was leaning forward, her elbows braced on the arms of her chair and there was a slight pout to her lips. Yellow light was flittering in, glittering on her moon eyes and bathing her in its luminous glow, The sunlight hits her rich, warm, indigo hair in a way that makes it appear like a big, soft halo.
It would be quite the elegant picture, really, if it weren't for the sadness in her eyes.
She really does look like an angel, Too bad he'll have to clip her wings.
Maybe she felt his stare because her eyes sprung to him with as much crashing impact as a steam locomotive.
"Huyga San" his brother started.
"Since I'm not one to kill an innocent woman , I'v decided to give your story a chance, that's why I called for the Uchihas".
She tensed at the mentione of the Uchiha,and Tobirama, being the sensor he is, picked it up immediately, of course huyga and Uchiha were never the best of friends, but the way she reacted was a mixture of surprise and worry, why?
The white haird man approached the girl with steady steps, he was watching her the whole time like a hawk, and it made her uncomfortable.
"You have any problem with the Uchiha?"
He asked.
She shocke her head in a no before saying "I thought you did?"
Hashirama raised one eyebrow in confusion while tobirama narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"And what made you think we have any problem with the Uchihas?"
Hinata wasn't sure if she can tell them or not
"I witnessed the evidence of war while I was living in the forest, some of the dead bodies had the Uchiha's crest others the Senju's, so I thought you were in war"
"ah, I see" Hashirama said while tobirama kept his ruby eyes on the girl, she was lying to them, but why?.
" What exactly would make you think this way ? Uchiha and Senju are cousin clans, why would they fight? "
Tobirama pressd her with his question, she wasn't sure if it was safe to tell him that they were enemies in her dimension.
Hinata avoided Tobirama's eyes and looked at the older Senju who was giving her the perplexed look.
" you two are the strongest clans in the fire land. So I assumed you were fighting each other"
Hashirama smiled at her "assuming you are from a different world I can understand your conclusion"
"She's not from a different world brother"
Commentd tobirama still glaring at the huyga.
Hashirama ignored his brother comment and continued " But we have no problem with the Uchihas, never had, and never will, for like my brother informed you, we are cousin clans, we stick together"
Hinata wasn't sure how to respond to that, this was very different from her world, and if Senju and Uchiha weren't fighting then what was the war going on in the fire land?
As if reading her thoughts Hashirama explained " However, you were right about something , there is indeed a war in the fire land, it's between the main clans and the daymo of the fire land"
