Yo! NinjakunAlana here, again! Time for Part two of Raven Eye's beneath his Crimson Ones.

WOOO!!

Chapter 2: The Result

During the Night of Sasuke's return, Shizune couldn't sleep. All she could think about is the Crimson-eyed shinobi; could he be here for good? Or was this another one of his plots? We have yet to find out. Though it was really none of Shizune's concern, she drifted off into a deep sleep.

The next morning, at the Hokage Tower, Tsunade's office, Shizune was half-asleep. Well, that was expected since she slept at about 4AM thinking of a certain Shinobi. She wasn't usually like this though, the Godaime wondered;

"Oy! Shizune!" she called; "What's with you today? You aren't usually like this." She impatiently asked.

"Gomen-nasai, Hokage-sama. I just wasn't able to get enough sleep, that's all." She explained.

"Lighten up, Shizune. We'll have a good time later on," Tsunade tried to cheer her up.

"Arigatou, Hokage-sama." Shizune smiled.

Sakura then barges into the Hokage office, (A/N: seems like people love to barge in there. XD)

"What is it, Sakura?" Tsunade asks.

"Hokage-sama, the results of Sasuke's examination have come in. Ibiki-sama will be here, immediately." Sakura said.

"Good." Tsunade says; Sakura runs off to call Ibiki then.

"You think Sasuke-kun is telling the truth, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune questions concerned.

"Don't tell me you're gaining interest in him, Shizune." A protective Tsunade asks.

Shizune pauses, smiles to herself and says; "Hokage-sama, he's 16, I'm 31, there's a very low chance of me liking him." Shizune covers up.

"It'll come out Shizune, It'll come out" Tsunade says while drinking some Sake of her desk.

"I'm telling the truth, Hokage-sama" Shizune smiles now.

As soon as their conversation was over, Ibiki and Sakura come in the office. Ibiki with that plaid look on his face tells Shizune and Tsunade that it didn't turn out very well.

"Well?" Tsunade bluntly asks.

"Hokage-sama," Ibiki says, "Sasuke is…" He then looks at Shizune, "Sasuke is clean." He said, looking dismayed. Sakura then covers her mouth with both her hands; Shizune was in shock and sat down next to Sakura, waiting to hear the whole story from Ibiki. Tsunade placed her fingers on her forehead, unable to accept this seemingly fact.

"Tell us everything, Ibiki." Tsunade ordered at once, Ibiki just nodded.

Flashback: Sasuke's Interrogation

"Take a seat, Uchiha," says a calm Ibiki.

"Hn." Was all he muttered.

"Now, tell me why you've come back to the land you have once betrayed," Ibiki says, looking at Sasuke.

"I have to restore my clan." He said straightforwardly. "After learning the secret of my brother, Uchiha Itachi, that is." Sasuke continued.

"Oh?" Ibiki says, sounding interested. "What is this secret of your brother, Uchiha?" Ibiki asks.

"He wasn't really the bad guy," he explains, "He just portrayed the role of one, killing our family and all just to stop the coup de' tat of our clan" He says, coldly.

"Interesting. Seems like your brother was a double agent," Ibiki says

"Exactly." He points out. "But now that he's dead, it's no use keeping it a secret anymore." Sasuke then gives out a chuckle.

"I see." Ibiki says.

"Not like you care." Sasuke said.

"Hn. Alright, Uchiha, time for round 2." Ibiki says.

"Let's just get it over with," he said wanting to get out of there already.

Ibiki then uses his interrogation jutsu, making the sign of 'ram' using his hands. For about 2 minutes, he wandered in Sasuke's mind, finding everything that he had just said, was true, killing Orochimaru, Deidara Itachi, and his teammates. After then, he could look no more; his face was sweaty and looked tired. Giving out a look of disappointment, all he could say was; "Sasuke you're clean, you may leave now."

Sasuke then gets up from his seat and walks to the door. Grabs his signature belt from Orochimaru and throws it to the ground.

"I'll be staying at an inn downtown. " Sasuke made clear, "If ever, the Hokage wonders where I am, that is." He said, then disappeared.

End of Flashback.

"Hn." Was all Tsunade could say. The fingers on her forehead were now balled into fists, seemingly angry that Sasuke was telling the truth. "I guess it can't be helped." She finally admits, putting a smile on Sakura and Shizune's face as they stood up. "Ibiki, you are dismissed," Tsunade ordered.

And as he was about to exit, he looked back at Shizune and said; "Oh and apparently, Shizune, you've been occupying his thoughts." Shizune blushed and Ibiki then fled.

"Hn. Alright, Sakura! Inform the Rookie Nine and call Yamato and Kakashi here, right away!" Tsunade impatiently ordered.

"Yes, Hokage-sama" she said, then took off.

"Well, Tsunade-sama, what do you think?" says Shizune.

"I think… you worry too much about him." She replies with a giggle.

Moments Later

Kakashi and Yamato enter the office through the window. Apparently it was closed, so Kakashi had to knock, and Shizune had to open it.

"How professional" said Tsunade laughing.

"Hey, we got here as fast as we could." Kakashi said feeling gloomy.

"Anyways, what are we here for, Tsunade-sama" asked Yamato.

"A scouting mission." Tsunade said.

"But we're highly ranked Jonin." Kakashi sighed. "And you're just gonna give us a scouting mission?" Kakashi complained.

Tsunade looked so annoyed, but Shizune tried to calm her down, and briefed Kakashi and Yamato of the situation instead.

"Yamato-san, Kakashi-sempai, you are to scout Uchiha Sasuke-kun." Shizune explained. Yamato and Kakashi were silent for a moment.

"I see." Kakashi said. "Apologies for acting like a kid, Hokage-sama." He said full of remorse.

"It's okay, Sempai, we're going out later, you should come too, right Tsunade-sama?" Shizune joyfully offered.

"The more the merrier." Tsunade said.

Chapter 3 is called; Fateful Night.
