Namay Sarutobi was thrown off by the sudden arms encasing her torso, So much so that she lost her concentration on Naruto Uzumaki who she had suspended high up in the air above her head tormenting his mind with her own. Once Namay turned to face her father Hiruzen Sarutobi, Naruto was temporarily forgotten by her and thus released from her hold which meant that he was going down and going down fast. Luckily for Naruto though his Sensei has dealt with Namay's Unique Abilities for many years while they grow up in the Village together and was ready for his young charge's fall, Without even looking up Kakashi Hatake took one large step backwards and hold out his arms catching the spiky haired blonde in his outstretched arms.
"What did you just say Old Man?" Namay tried to pull away from Hiruzen's affectionate embrace which only caused him to want to hold on that much more tighter.
" I said Kanji... As in your deceased husband Kanji Tatsumi... Sweetheart, You need to hear his name and let yourself grieve for him but most importantly, let this need for revenge against Orochimaru go before it completely destroys you... Do you really think Teddie would of wanted his mother to turn out this way?"
This time Namay jerked away from her father, she even want as far as to bring her hand back and slapped the old Hokage across his face. That was enough for the two ANBU who were assigned to guard their leader to enter into the picture. One came bursting in the door and the other through the window ready to attack Namay and they would have too, if not for Hiruzen Sarutobi making a hand sign singling them to back off.
" No need for a take down fellows... This is my long lost daughter and is not to be harmed besides I can't say that I didn't deserve that slap at least somewhat nor did I not expect it to happen once I brought up my poor dearly departed Son-In-Law and Grandson..."
"SHUT UP!" there was so much rage in Namay Sarutobi's voice that she got one of the ANBU members to jump in fear at the sound of it, That in itself is a rarity that not many people are able to pull off when you consider the ANBU are supposed to be the most Elite Ninjas, trained to suppress their fears and other emotions.
" DON'T YOU DARE SAY THEIR NAMES AGAIN OLD MAN!"
Namay was loosing it at this point she grabbed a hold of her hair pulling at it while screaming out nonsense in a very real fight with herself for control of her sanity.
She suddenly dropped to her knees letting her hair go, as she stared off into space the lights in the room begin to flicker off and on scaring Sakura Haruno who was still hiding behind Sasuke Uchiha over on the other side of the large conference room. When Sakura let out a tiny scream she caught the attention of the Hokage reminding him that the teenagers were still in the room.
The fear on Sakura's face did not go unnoticed by Hiruzen Sarutobi ether, which is what prompted him to say the following: " Sakura, Sasuke come collect your fallen teammate Naruto and leave the Hokage Tower at once, Take him for medical treatment and speak nothing of what you witnessed here today, That's an Order of the highest degree... Also tell the Medical Ninjas they are to treat Naruto Uzumaki with no questions asked by the order of the Hokage and that I will personally come in to answer any questions they may have...That is all, You are dismissed."
Slowly Sakura bowed to the Hokage and made her way over to her Sensei Kakashi making sure to carefully avoid going anywhere near the crazed woman sitting in the middle of the room as still as a statue yet somehow messing with the light fixtures. Getting to Kakashi, he quickly handed over the unconscious Naruto to her and gave her a pat on the back whispering to her that it will be okay.
Sasuke on the other hand was finding Namay Sarutobi fascinating and he purposely want in her direction on his way out of the Tower. He walked over to her and stopped right in front of her watching her for a moment and since she didn't do anything or even appeared to have recognized him standing before her Sasuke Uchiha simply shrugged her shoulders before starting to take off again heading for the door that Sakura was already at trying her best to hold up the knocked out Naruto.
Sasuke took one step away before Namay shoot out her arm grabbing his raising up to her feet not letting go of the young man.
" Where is it?" she asked him.
Sasuke tried to free his arm but her grip was to strong for him to brake free of, so he sighed and said back to her: " Where's what Lady and ease up on my arm already."
Namay took into account his request and let go of his arm alright, she now grabbed his head tilting it to the side damn near snapping Sasuke's neck for him as she searched him over with her crazed eyes. Sasuke who normally doesn't feel afraid, started to shake in his sandals at this move.
" Why is it always the neck... What does he think he is some kind of Vampire Snake Bitch... That Fucking Bastard is still using seals... I should of known, I knew I smelled him somewhere in this room Kid, just never thought it would of been on someone so young... I've spent the last 10 plus years tracking that Son of a Bitch...You don't think I know scents by now... So don't try to deny it was him... Now tell me Sasuke Uchiha, What do you plan to do about this Cursed Seal?"
Sasuke didn't know what to say to her, he thought that no matter what his answer was, it would not be the right one that this rambling nutjob would want to hear and she would go ahead and snap his neck like a twig. Behind him the one ANBU member who had more control of his emotions was about to make a move only for the Hokage to stick is arm out in front of the Wolf Masked Elite Ninja stopping him in his tracks whispering: " Don't you'll only get the boy hurt or killed... Let Me and Kakashi handle this situation since we know her best, You two are not to interfere and that's an order."
The ANBU member done as his commander ordered of him and want back to his guarding post which was to stay as close to Hiruzen Sarutobi as was possible without actually invading his personal space.
Kakashi Hatake took that as his Que to try something since technically it was one of his students that Namay had in her clutches. Walking up behind her Kakashi pressed his lean body into hers letting her know his presence was there before placing his hands on her shoulders giving them a gentle squeeze then processed to slowly move his hands down the length of her arms, as he brought his masked face to her ear and started speaking in a tone that you would use to calm a frighten child: " Namay I think, You're slipping over to the bad place again... You know, It's only right to let Sasuke go... He is not the one you want." Kakashi now ran his hands all the way down near her hands which were still at Sasuke's face and neck exposing the curse seal in full view.
Since Namay didn't throw him off of her thus far Kakashi take another chance with her and intertwined her fingers into his, he could feel her body relax against his as he carefully pulled their woven hands away from Sasuke freeing him. Kakashi did not stop there he slowly brought Namay and his hands towards her front, bringing her arms down so that they crisscrossed over her chest making her hug herself along with him hugging her since his arms want where hers did. Standing there holding Namay in his weird yet oddly comfortable backwards embrace Kakashi Hatake found himself more at peace in this very moment then he has been in years. He didn't realize just how much he missed her until he had in his arms once again and part of him was refusing to let go but he also knew that he would have to eventually and the longer he hung on the harder it would be.
Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the unattended tender moment happening right before his eyes between his only daughter and the copy ninja. A smile spread across his wrinkled old face as he realized that maybe Namay was not as far gone as she seems and with Kakashi around he might even get the chance to see his old Namay resurface. That's when he got, what he thought to be a brilliant idea into his head. After he was sure that all the younger Ninjas had exited the Tower, the third Hokage moved a tiny bit closer to Namay and Kakashi but not to close for he didn't want to set her off again now that Kakashi had her calmer.
" Sorry to interrupt you two but last I checked I was still the Hokage around here and I do have other business to attend too. Some of which I will be needing this very room to convey, So you don't mind I would kindly ask you to take your leaves." Hiruzen waited for them to untangle themselves from one another before he said what he knew Namay could not resist.
" Namay before you leave, Let me ask you something Sweetheart... What would you say to staying the Village a little longer, Maybe catching up with your Brother who has not seen you in years ether... I am sure Asuma would be happy to know his little sister is still very much alive, kicking and breathing." The third watched her face as he said his son's name and he seen the joy in her eyes however faint it was before it faded away and she answered him with what he knew she would say.
" I don't think so... Asuma is better off never knowing I was even here, Since I will not be staying... If that Bastard Orochimaru is no longer in Konoha then there is no need for me to remain here ether."
The stinging hurt in Kakashi Hatake only visible eye didn't go unnoticed by Hiruzen ether when she said she was leaving again which actually made what he was about to suggest all the better in his view. " I see and I suppose you have a point there... Hmm, I guess there is nothing left for me to say then except Good-Bye of course."
" W-What... Lord Hokage... Surely you can not be fine with this... After all Sir she is your only daughter." said Kakashi his voice cracking a little as he tried to hide his true emotions. Namay was heading for the door and it took everything he had not to run after her like some love sick fool, However Kakashi did end up reaching out and grabbed her hand again stopping her in her tracks, Much to the Hokage's delight.
" No Kakashi I can't honestly say that I am fine with the idea of losing my daughter for another 10 or so years but what would you have me do about it, She is fully grown and if she wants to leave the Village before Orochimaru comes back, Then that's her choice." Namay turned to face her father as Kakashi silently still hold onto her hand, Hiruzen knew he had her right where he wanted her now.
" I know what you are doing Old Man and I don't much appreciate it but I will play along for now and take your obvious bait... It's bad enough you tried to use Asuma against me... Now the Snake Bastard, Do you really want me here that badly that you will sank so low as to try play with my emotions like that?" Hiruzen actually laugh at that and was pleased that she was paying attention to everything he said so far which is why he decided to bring it on home before she changed her personality again.
" I guess it was kind of obvious wasn't Sweetheart and I apologize... However I was not using Orochimaru in the way you thought... Well not entirely... You have tracked the man all these years, So you should know as well as I do that once he decides to inflict someone with his Curse Seal that he doesn't leave that person for very long without coming back to collect his prized trophy once it ripens." Namay didn't say anything to that for a long time she just stood there holding onto Kakashi's hand struggling with her own personal dilemma and it clearly shown her on face as Hiruzen watched her, patiently awaiting her next words because he knew whatever she said next would determined rather or not he got to see again for the next decade or longer assuming he even lived that long since he was already an elder man.
" As much as I really hate to admit it, You're right Old Man that is exactly what that Asshole would do next after leaving one of his Godforsaken Seals on some poor unsuspecting fool... Even if I were to stay here, Where would I live or do for basic supplies or even money because I sure as hell am not coming back into the Ninja Stronghold... Not with what I have in mind to do, when I finally get my hands on that Sadistic Snake Bastard... Hell Old Man you're little ANBU Pussies might actually get their chance to add me to their Bingo Book after I'm done with Orochimaru because I'm telling you right now father, I am not gonna stop until ether The Snake is dead or I am one... He will pay for everything he has done... EVERYTHING!" In Namay's little slip of rage she rammed her fingernails into Kakashi's hand forcing him to finally let go before she crushed his bones.
" Well calm down Sweetheart we will deal with that when it happens no need to get upset about it... As for where you could live, I was thinking your old childhood pal Kakashi Hatake might be willing to put up with you for a few weeks or so... I would love to take you in myself but with me being the current Hokage and in the mist of the Chunin exams, Not to mention taking care of Konohamaru..."
" Kono- Who?" Whatever rage came over Namay she was able to suppress it this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his daughter in a confused manner wondering why she would ask such a silly question, until it dawned on him that little Konohamaru was born long after she done left and Namay probably had no idea she had even had a Nephew.
" Konohamaru Sarutobi, your 8 year old nephew Sweetheart and my... Well That's Who he is anyways."
Namay didn't respond to that shocking fact, She done knew that things would go on without her but to know she had another family member out there, made it that much harder for her to want to leave.
" I have no problems with you staying with me Namay, Although I do only have the one bedroom apartment but if you are willing to deal with it, I'm sure we can work something out." That came out of Kakashi's mouth but he added in his head: Especially if it means you not leaving me again, I'll happily sleep on my lumpy old sofa. which prompted Namay to look back at him raising an eyebrow, He kept forgetting she could read his every thought and what little that could be seen of his face turned a light shade of blushing reddish pink.
" Alright fine if you two want me here that badly then I will stay... However let me make this crystal clear to each of you, Once the Snake Bastard makes a run for it and he will if things get a little to close to comfort for him... Then I to will follow right behind him no matter where it leads me... Now come on Kakashi you big dork and show me where I'll be staying so that I can lay down because I don't know about you but I'm getting so fucking tired after all this drama."
Namay Sarutobi didn't give the Silver Haired Devil a chance to say anymore for she came up behind him and started pushing him towards the door trying to get out of the Hokage Tower as fast as she could because she did not want to stick around to reminisce with her father about the olden days. Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't mind her eagerness to leave the Tower, he was just happy that he was able to convince her to stay in the Village a little longer and hopefully with a little luck on his side, he could get her to stay indefinitely.
