chapter four - Discovered

'Well, that's the theory for today', Iruka-sensei said.'i'd say: class dismissed. But before that happens, Immi has to say something. Immi?', Iruka-sensei winked at Immi in the back of the classroom. Immi stood up and walked to the front of the classroom. 'I've decided to give a party tomorrow at my place. Ofcourse you're all invited. It begins at 8 pm and ends at 1 am in the morning.', She said with a big smile. The class cheered very loud. 'Class dismissed', Iruka-sensei grinned. The class walked outside, talking with each other. 'Immi?'. Immi turned around. 'eh?'. She saw Iruka-sensei walking towards her. 'What's up sensei?'. 'I have a message from the Hokage', Iruka said. 'Anou,a message from Hokage-sama?', Immi asked with question marks in her eyes. 'Yes, he's asking you if you can come to his office', Iruka replied. 'He said it's kind of...urgent'. 'Urgent eh?', Immi said. 'Then i'll guess i must go. thanks sensei!'. and with those words she ran away. 'I wonder what's so urgent? I hope it isn't something bad..', Immi thought.

She walked inside the hokage's house and knocked on the door of his office. 'Yes?', the Hokage asked from inside the room. Immi opened the door. 'Iruka-sensei told me you wanted to speak me', She said. 'That's right. Come in and close the door if you please', he said. Immi closed the door and walked to the Hokage's desk. The Hokage sighed. 'How am I going to say this..', he said with his head in his hands. Immi looked at him. 'Listen Immi, what i'm going to say might be shocking to hear for you.But it's time you hear it, since you're old enough'. 'Eh? what do you mean, Hokage-sama?', Immi asked confused. 'Are you aware that 14 isn't your real age?', the Hokage asked. Immi laughed. 'D'oh, ofcourse i know my real age is 17.. I lied on purpose so they wouldn't ask questions'. 'I see..Are you also aware of the fact that your real name isn't Tao?'. Immi petrified. 'Wh-what do you mean my real name isn't Tao? am I adopted?', She asked with an astounding look in her eyes. 'Well...sort of', The Hokage sighed. 'Then what is my origin? Tell me, please!', She said with a loud voice. The Hokage sighed. 'Your real name is Uzumaki, just like Naruto. In fact,You and He are siblings. He's your little brother', He said and looked at Immi. Immi suddenly freezed.She looked the Hokage in the eyes.'Wh-what?! You serious?', She said with an confusing look in her eyes. 'I'm afraid that isn't all...', the Hokage said with a serious face. 'Wait, there's more?! How many unknown facts about my life do you have left?', Immi yelled with a furious look on her face. 'I guess you know that Naruto has the Kyuubi sealed inside him?', The Hokage asked. Immi nodded. 'Well it seems The Fourth only sealed one part of the Kyuubi inside Naruto'. 'Then were is the other part?',Immi asked. 'The other part...is sealed in you', The Hokage said. Immi blinked. And blinked again.Then she started to yell. 'NO WAY! this can't be! i mean, i..', She felled on the ground and started to cry.

The Hokage stood up and walked towards her. 'Is it so bad that you have to cry?', he asked her. 'If you were in my situation,you would cry to Hokage-sama', She said sniffing. 'Then tell me what's on your mind, my child', The Hokage said and stroked her on her back. Immi breathed in deeply. 'have you ever heard of Akatsuki?'. 'Yes I've heard of them. what's with it? they're after you? is that why you came back to Konoha?', The Hokage replied. 'They're not after me. Atleast I hope...No,I escaped from them', Immi said. 'They were using you?',The Hokage said with shocking eyes. 'No. I was part of them', Immi said and looked at the ground. 'I just couldn't take it anymore! I had fights with almost everyone in the organisation. I needed a place to rest'. 'I see... that makes sense', The Hokage said. 'And if that wasn't enough, my partner and best friend asked me to marry him', Immi said and a tear felled on the ground. 'But that's great, isn't it?', The Hokage said. 'Yes it is', she smiled.'But I refused. It's not that I don't love him, it's more that I have the feeling I can't do it.That I'm to young'. She stood up and walked to the window.'I miss him everyday, and it hurts. But it hurts even more if I think of the fact he will come to find me', She said while looking out of the window. The Hokage looked at her. So young, and yet so full with problems. He walked towards her and goes standing next to her.'I believe it's going to be allright. maybe not now, but when the time is right', He said while looking at her. Immi smiled.'I believe it too. It's just so much to bear'. She turned around. 'Hokage-sama I have to ask you something'. 'What is it, my child?', The Hokage asked. 'Do I have permission to tell Naruto?', Immi asked. The Hokage sighed.

It was quiet for a couple of minutes.'You have my permission on one condition. Don't tell him today.First let it penetrate into your own mind', He said. Immi smiled. 'I will'. She walked towards the door and layed her hand on the doorknob. She turned around. 'Thanks for telling me.It has given me more self knowledge', She grinned. The Hokage smiled. 'It's my job'. Immi opened the door and walked outside. Outside she ran to Ichiraku Ramen where Naruto was waiting. 'What took you so long 'tebayo?', She heared Naruto yelling. 'Sorry dobe,Hokage-sama wanted to speak me',she smiled.Naruto sniffed. Immi looked at him. Unbelievable that this kid is actually related to her. I'll tell him tomorrow after school, she decided. She smiled.'What are you smiling at?', Naruto asked with a curious look. 'Nothing. Now, are you nervous about the test tomorrow ?'
