Sasuke went back to the tea shop completely annoyed. He did not expect that to happen, being answered like that. She called him a child. Who did that woman think she is? No one

evertalked to him like that. Normally those he met for the first time were immediately intimidated just by looking at his eyes or in some cases with women they get infatuated.

Well I guess she's different he thought. It was obvious with the way she looked and talked to him. Her tenacity and indifference was something he didn't see that much in other girls.

Normally they're so emotional like sakura who cried a lot over his departure, who valued friendship too much and wasn't afraid to show how much they love a person. As if he needed any of

that, all he ever needed ever since was power to take revenge on his brother for killing their clan. So when he finally succeeded in killing his brother better only to found out that his brother

was ordered by the konoha elders in killing their clan. How they took advantage of his brothers' kindness in preserving the peace of the village. It didn't make him feel better, it didn't make

the hate he felt go away it simply was transferred to a new target. Another revenge plan and that was on konoha. They'll pay for what they did; he already succeeded in killing that danzo

guy now it's time to do more damage. While he's killing them He needs proof to show them So that they wouldn't say he's making up stories about how they used his brother as a puppet.

And that girl is holding some of that proof. Now he just needs a plan to get it without killing her. zetsu was right when he said that girl was stubborn and immune to death threats it was

obvious that she was willing to put her life at stake as long as no one would get that scroll.

she's pretty brave I have to give her credit on that he thought as he sat down on one of the chairs in the tea shop.

Sasuke's P.O.V

The shop was now empty; the family that was here awhile ago was nowhere to be found. Good, that way I can concentrate on what should I do to get it. I need to get it as quickly as

possible since I have to head back. At any moment they might think of already going to attack konoha. I will not be left behind just because that stubborn woman won't hand over the scroll.

I wonder if she was bluffing when she said I can't trap her in an illusion using sharingan. Maybe if I…. no. I can't take any chances besides Itachi must've been the one who placed the seal

since he doesn't want anyone to find out about how konoha used him as a puppet. Tsk how could my brother allow himself to be used like that to be treated like a traitor?

He's too nice that's why they manage to take advantage of him. I looked out the window it was beginning to get dark. I need to go look for an inn for me to stay.

"so how did the conversation with Thea go?" the girl from earlier asked as she placed a cup of tea in front of me.

"I didn't order anything" I said looking at her coldly. Just what I need a nosy kid asking me questions.

"It's our treat. You're a newcomer at this village" she answered with a smile

"No thanks" I said pushing it gently away

"Oh I insist. This is how we treat every person who drops by our village. Especially if the person Is a nice guy like you" she said pushing it towards me again her cheeks becoming pink.

She is Starting to irritate me. I took the tea and drank it quietly just to shut her up. She didn't take her Eyes off me as I drank it as if watching me drink was the most delightful thing she'd

ever seen.

She seemed to be very infatuated with me. I could use that as my advantage.

"What's your name?" I ask looking at her

"uh!" she blurted out surprised "err… it's Hana "

"that Thea. you said she has a lot of suitors coming here? " I ask

"well yeah before they were just guys who pass by here, after seeing her immediately they're attracted by her beauty and well they sometimes drop here bringing her gifts" she explained

sitting in the chair in front of me.

"how could they like her? she's pretty arrogant" I mumbled. I don't think my brother would like a girl like her. then why did he kept visiting here. There must be another reason and I also

have to find that out.

"you think she's arrogant?" Hana asks "then you aren't here to court her? don't you think she's pretty?"

"I'm not here to court her and I don't find her that pretty. Her arrogance turns me off and besides the only reason why I'm here is cause… " I closed my mouth to shut up. I can't tell

anyone why I'm here. Who knows what might happen.

"I need to go" I said standing up heading for the door

"W…Wait!" she said following me

"What?" I ask annoyed that I almost told her something confidential.

"Do you need a place to stay?" she asks smiling

"That is no longer none of your business" I answered going out.

I lost that Hana girl as I got out that shop I immediately jump on the rooftops losing trail of her. I don't need to familiarize myself and make casual talk with these people. I have a mission to

do and I don't need anyone to be following me like a lost puppy. I found a place to stay in at the end of the village. I rented a room and went up locking the doors. I laid my stuff at the bed

and looked out the window. It's time to pay that woman another visit.
