Chapter 2 My Truth
"Lie! Liar! It's not true! You're all a bunch of liars!" Sasuke shouted at them.
"Now, Sasuke, listen to me first! Let me explain…" Kakashi tried to calm Sasuke down.
"No I won't. Just go away!"
Mitoko Uchiha smiles a sad smile at Sasuke.
Sasuke ran as fast as he could on the roofs of Konoha. He wouldn't dare to stop nor look back… his mind is focused on getting away, as far as possible… away from them.
Everybody was shocked at Sasuke shouting like that. Naruto was the first one to snap out of it.
"Hey, wait! Sasuke!" But he was already gone."I'll follow him…" he made the motion to follow him, but Kakashi stood on his way and put up his hand, gesturing him to stop.
"It wouldn't be a good idea to try and catch Sasuke, in his speed, Naruto."
"What! But sir…"
"But Sir Kakashi, Sasuke…. What about Sasuke?" Sakura pleaded.
"He'll be fine Sakura." Kakashi assured
"I guess we should have approached the topic to Sasuke slowly." Mitoko Uchiha didn't seem voiceless anymore.
"Yeah, I guess we should have." Kakashi smiled and scratched the back of his head.
The two of Naruto and Sakura did not know how to react. They're very worried about Sasuke…
"SIR, WHAT ABOUT SASUKE?" they both yelled.
Kakashi looked at them and thought for a moment.
"Uhmmm… Let's see…"
"SIR!"
"Oh yes. Naruto, you and Sakura will escort Mitoko here to Master Hokage. Both of you should report now. I'll go and chase Sasuke." Kakashi ordered.
"But Sir…" Sakura is still not sure about this.
"Sakura, I gave you and Naruto a direct ordered…Don't worry about Sasuke."
In this sentence, Kakashi finalized his decision, and Sakura and Naruto have no other choice but to obey.
"Well, I'll be seeing you a little later… Don't try and chase Sasuke with your bunshins, Naruto… Bye!" Kakashi bid farewell and he was gone. Naruto and Sakura slowly turned to look to Mitoko Uchiha. She just smiled at the two confuse ninjas.
The two of Naruto and Sakura, are behind Mitoko Uchiha as they walked their way towards the office of Tsunade. They didn't know what to talk about. Everything seems so quiet and so slow.
"What could have happen to Sasuke?" Sakura thought to herself. She can't stop thinking about her – not-boyfriend-but-would-be-someday. She's very worried about Sasuke. She has a lot of questions in her mind and those questions mirrored to Naruto's mind as well.
Naruto want it so badly to chase Sasuke even if he created a thousand bunshins their sense can easily sense all of them but he is still worried about what he can't put every pieces together.
"I thought Sasuke doesn't have any family anymore…"
"Who is this person then?"
"Is she really Sasuke's sister…?"
"Why does Sir Kakashi knew her so well?"
"Who is she?"
Naruto asked himself as if expecting as if expecting to hear some answers. And at the same time starting at the walking person in front them.
Then all of a sudden, Mitoko Uchiha halted in front of them. They were surprised and they stopped too. Mitoko was quiet, just standing there, Sakura begin to worry.
"Why, why did she stopped?"
What is she going to do?
Maybe she's trying to get me and Naruto alone so she can finish us both…out of Sir Kakashi's sight?
What if she's an S-class criminal?
What if she's an Akatsuki member?
What are we going to do?
Oh no… We're trapped…
Naruto seemed to worry as well, when finally…
"Gomen…" Mitoko Uchiha whispered under her breath.
"What?" Naruto blurted out.
Her voice is so calm, yet so cold at the same time.
"I'm sorry." Mitoko Uchiha repeated, "I didn't mean to scare you a while." She turned around to face Naruto and Sakura, with a gentle smile on her face.
Kawai...
She's so cute… Naruto thought
Naruto's cheeks blushed, even Sakura's.
She doesn't look like an Akatsuki… Not with that face…
There is something in her that will make people be as still as a stone. Her deep dark eyes, pale skin and long, silky, raven colored hair, disguise this person's true being. Her soft gentle smile can easily paralyze any ninja.
Maybe her smile is some kind of Jutsu… Sakura thought.
"I hope I didn't scare you scare you guys too much. But you attacked me first. I have no choice but to defend myself."
Sakura was about to reply but Naruto blurted out in a happy tone.
"We're sorry too. We thought you were someone else."
"Who? Is that person worth attacking?"
"Uhmmm… well we kinda thought you were…"
"Who?"
"That you were Itachi."
'Itachi? Uchiha?" Sakura thought.
'So Sasuke and Naruto thought that she was Itachi."
She looked at Mitoko, wondering how Sasuke's older brother looked like.
Mitoko thought for a moment.
"Well I guess that gives you every right to attack me."
She reached out, touched Naruto's forehead and bend over to so she was eye level with him.
"Do I look very much like him?"
Naruto blushed, he was again, mesmerized.
"Well we better get going." She turned around and started her way again. . The two followed her.
Sakura grasped Naruto's hand and surprises him a lot.
"What is it Sakura?"
"I don't think we should trust her."
"What! Why?"
"Well I don't know… I fell like we shouldn't trust her very much."
"Well I think she deserves our trust."
"How could you say that! Is because Kakashi told us that she is Sasuke's sister or is it because you're attracted to her ain't you?"
"No."
She looked at her teammate and noted that he was smiling despite her angry state.
"It's just that, I feel like I can trust he completely. I can't explain it though."
With that, the pink haired girl let go of his hand. She just couldn't believe that Naruto would say something like that.
"Hey you two we better get going or Kakashi will win over us to the Hokage's office." Mitoko waved at them.
"Ok! Listen Sakura." Naruto started walking. "We can at least give her a chance. Right."
Sakura followed closely yet she gave no response, still worrying about this stanger and her Sasuke.
……
'I don't believe them'
'I won't'
Still running, Saskue's mind shouted over and over again, ignoring the little voice inside him telling him to reconsider.
Hey Sasuke!
"Go away!"
What do you think you're doing?
"Go away!"
You should face her!
"…"
She's your sister!
"No!" he sceamed, his body protesting as his brain was aching terribly. He almost lost his balance.
His mind is still full of questions.
Who is she
Why is she an Uchiha
Is she really my sister
How come nobody ever told me?
How come I never saw her
heard of her
met her
Why didn't anybody bothered to tell me I had a sister
Sasuke recalled every detail of her. Her face, her voice, her touch. A part inside him wanted to block everything, but there is also a small part who wanted to listen.
"She looks so much like oka-san." Sasuke whispered to himself, clutching his head. And with the weird pain procuring his head, he didn't sense the arrival of his sensei behind him.
"She does look a lot like your mother, Sasuke."
Startled, Sasuke started to run again. He wanted to be alone. Doesn't his sensei understand that?
"It's no use running, Sasuke. Your speed is very low tonight."
Sasuke noticed this too. He wanted to run as fast as he could. He even use taijutsu to speed up. But his mind is too clouded by the questions sinking in him. His eyesight's too blurry, and his body felt so heavy. Then he suddenly lose balance and slipped off an edge of a roof. His mind quickly reacted but his arms and legs seemed paralyze. He's falling…
"Got'ya!" Sir Kakashi catched Sasuke by the ankle. Sasuke looked surprised. "So was I right? I know I told you guys to train but… have you been training or have you been killing yourself in training? Because there's a whole lot of difference between the two."
Sasuke was so annoyed that he kicked off to get loose from his crazy sensei's grasp. And this time he landed on a tree branch.
"Listen Sasuke, give me a chance to explain. You have to listen to Mitoko…"
"NO! I WON'T!" Sasuke shouted.
"Keep your voice down. It's past midnight and we don't want to wake anybody in the village." Kakashi is still calm.
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT WHEN YOU'RE THE ON WHO WANTED TO TALK TO ME AND LIE!"
"No, I'm not lying. If only you would just…"
"NOOOOOO!"
"Sasuke…"
"I SAID I WON'T!"
"Stop acting like a child! You're being immature. And ninjas can control their emotions in any situation." Kakashi said with firmness in his voice. Sasuke was taken aback by this expression that Kakashi had.
"Now, as I was saying, you should, no… you should must listen to me. Mitoko is your sister. I know it's hard for you to believe what I just said, knowing that all this time you had no family or relatives left. But if you give her a chance to explain herself, you'll have my word that I'm not lying."
"No, I don't have a sister. Nobody told me anything. I had never even met her."
"That's quite understandable, for she left days after you were born."
Sasuke didn't say anything so Kakashi continue.
"Your sister is one of the top ninja, this village of Konoha had trained that time, being thought of the third Hokage himself. . And I'm very sure of that, for I myself witnessed her skills and ability. She had accomplished S-class missions at the very young age of seven. Yes Sasuke, seven." Kakashi assured Sasuke, as he saw the look on the boy's face.
"And since she is the best ninja that time, she grew to serve the Village of Konoha.. and if I should say it… your family as well." Kakashi paused for a moment. "She never grew up as a child that she's supposed to be. And I may say that she never knew the meaning of 'FUN'. She was a child whose numb at every pain in every one of her missions."
"But I assure you that he loved Itachi. She only cared for your brother when it was only the two of them then. She gave so much importance to Itachi, but never to the clan. She was after all only used as a weapon."
"When you were born, she was assigned to an S-class mission once more. She was ten that time. She spend five days caring you. and then she left. Two years later a sad news came that she was killed. But your clan never bothered to find the body."
"And after that, your family forbid anyone, even Itachi to speak of her. It was forbidden to speak of anything about her. It was also forbidden to the whole village. All her belongings, clothes, pictures, anything that belongs to her had been burnt down. That's why you never knew her." Kakashi concluded his explanation. Then there was an unbearable silence.
The two voices arguing inside Sasuke came back.
It's all lies… Don't listen to him…
"No…It all makes sense… go to her…"
Finally he spoke, but in a whisper. He's fighting the urge to shout again.
"Why then?"
"Why haven't nobody told me about her? Anybody can! Why? Was it forbidden?"
"You should ask her instead me. Why don't you go and meet her yourself?"
"It's because it's all lies! None of it is true. It's all lies!"
"Sasuke…"
"No! I'm done listening to you! I won't accept her I won't"
He ran away again then.
Kakashi stood there staring at the branch where he used to stand.
"He looks so tired. I wonder if the seal's aching up again." Kakashi thought out loud.
"Seems like he is headed to the Uchiha Ruins."
He then decided to leave him alone and headed to the Hokage's office.
………
"I wonder. What could they be talking about?" Naruto asked. He and Sakura stayed outside Tsunade's office for their sensei.
"Well it must be about that Mitoko." Sakura snorted
"It looks pretty serious though…"
"Yeah…"
……..
Tsunade was pouring sake on the glass, she then offered Mitoko a drink.
"You know that I don't drink, Master Tsunade." Mitoko refused.
"Oh right I forgot." She drank the sake instead.
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence.
"So are you going to explain yourself?"
"You already know what happened, Master Tsunade"
"Hmmmm… that messenger you sent is kind of too arogant for my taste. I honestly don't like hiem."
"To tell you the truth, I trust him with my life. They were the ones who took me in."
"Oh yes… so what are you planning right now?"
"Well I wanted to visit father's grave for a long time. I feel so guilty I kinda blame myself for his death. I never had the chance to save him."
"We all feel the same way." Tsunade took another sip from the glass. "Anything else you want to do. Clearly you did not return to Konoha just to visit a grave."
Mitoko looked at Tsunade and said.
"Of course. I want to see my brother. Both of them."
"Haven't you met Sasuke? That was his teammates who accompanied you here?"
"Well,we've met… but I guess Kakashi surprised him a bit."
"He ran away didn't he?"
"Yes"
"You really can't control Kakashi. He does not know the words "slow approach" means."
"I guess I just have to try again he and Itachi are the only one's I have left."
"No that is not true. You have the whole Konoha… you are welcomed here Mitoko."
"Thank you Master Hokage."
Tsunade waved her hand and said. "I'm not really used to that title."
With a puff a silver haired jounin appeared holding a book.
"Yo."
"Ever heard of using the door, Kakashi?"
"Gomen." He apologized and slid his book inside his vest. He then looked at Mitoko. "I'm sorry I tried to explain everything but it seems that the stubborn blood runs in your family.."
"Where did he go then?" Tsunade asked.
"He took the way toward the Uchiha ruins."
"Well I guess we can call it a night. Kakashi you better let those two in. They've been listening through the door."
Suddenly, voices were heard outside.
"What are you two doing there?"
Shizune came in holding a very anxoius looking Sakura and a grinning Naruto.
"Master Tsunade, these two have been evesdropping."
"That's fine Shizune." She then eyed Naruto and Sakura. "They can't keep their nose out of other people's business. Besides we're not talking about anything important, Right Mitoko?"
"Hey there Shizune it's been a long time?"
5…4…3…2…1
"Mitoko!" Shizune Let go of Naruto and Saukra then jumped at Mitoko, who almost fell over. "It's been a long time?"
"You know each other?"
"Shizune You're kinda squeezing me." Mitoko said, almost out of breathe.
"Oh! Sorry I just miss you so much!"
"I miss you to Shizune!"
"Alright that's enough. It's late already we all should rest now. And some things also needs to be done. Mitoko where will you be staying tonight?"
"I really don't know yet."
"You can stay at my place Mitoko." Shizune offered.
"Shizune. Have you forgotten? The outskirts of Konoha."
"What about it Master Hokage?" Kakashi asked
"I just need someone to patrol outside. Go now."
"I guess Mitoko can stay at my place then." Kakashi scratched the back of his head.
Silence fell…. Then….
"WHAT! WHY ARE OFFERING YOUR PLACE TO HER, SIR KAKASHI? SHE CAN'T STAY WITH YOU!" Naruto yelled, almost deafening everyone in the room.
"And why not?" Tsunade questioned Naruto with a curious expression.
"Well, it's because… it's because…" Naruto can't say it loud.
"Do you want to offer your place, Naruto?" Mitoko asked, smiling. "That's very nice of you."
Thinking of the mess in his apartment, Naruto hoped that Mitoko wouldn't take his question seriously. Sakura is eyeing him.
"But I guess Kakashi's place is just fine." Naruto was glad about this.
"Well it's settled, then. We shall have a meeting with the advisers and the councils of Konoha tomorrow and discuss about your request. Would that be fine to you, Mitoko?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, thank you for your time, Master Hokage."
"Oh well… Geez! It's that late already? Well you guys better get going. And Kakashi, your team don't have to problem the midnight patrols anymore. I'll assign another team to do it."
Together, Kakashi, Mitoko, Naruto and Sakura left Tsunade's office. They're outside when Kakashi spoke.
"This have been a long night. You two better go home. Straight to home, alright? Don't bother looking for Sasuke. He's Fine." He seems to be reading their mind for they are thinking to look for Sasuke once they're out of their sensei's sight.
"Yes, sir." the two answered, yawning.
"Well, we'll be off. Once more, straight to your home, you two."
"OK!"
"Well, let's go Mitoko."
Mitoko smiled and said, "Lead the way." And they left.
Sakura is not, but she swore she saw Mitoko hold Kakashi's hands while watching the two older ninjas leave.
