The 3rd chapter, hope everyone enjoys!!
Review everyone!! Please!!
In the headquarters of a dangerous gang of criminals, someone is giving the leader new information.
"Why did you come back so soon??" the leader inquired annoyed.
"She isn't in Konoha anymore Leader. Neither is the shinobi she lives with or her kids." The s-rank missing-nin explained. Leader kept silent for a while.
"Thank you, I'll go see him and then I'll give further instructions about the matter." The leader said as he walked out of the room.
"Hai." The shinobi replied bowing.
Chapter 3
The leader walked through the hallways of the mansion they used as headquarters until he reached a sealed room. He opened the door quietly and spotted the person he came to see right away.
The man was sitting on the floor in front of a low table next to the window having some tea.
The leader entered the room quietly and closed the door with a soft click.
The man put his cup down and looked at the door.
"Care to join me?" he asked calmly.
"Hai." The leader said almost in a whisper and sat down in front of the man.
They stayed silent drinking tea for a while. The leader sighed.
"It's been a while..." He said calmly and drank some more tea.
Elsewhere – Sakura's POV
I feel relieved to be here, not that I don't trust everyone in Konoha… but… I feel safer being here with my best friend, I know he won't let anyone come near my tenshi.
Kyuuki-chan and Ryuuki-kun are playing with Ayame-kun, Temari and Shikamaru's son, he has spiky dirty blond hair and light brown eyes, he's as smart as a fox, and a bit lazy sometimes (not as much as Shikamaru obviously), and he likes to be superior in some way, like his mother, he hates being controlled.
They're playing in the toy room Temari-chan did for him, they seem happy, so I'll just go downstairs see everyone so we can discuss the matter of my nightmares.
Sakura entered the room and saw Sai and the Kazekage there.
"Yo." She greeted quietly.
"I showed Gaara-san the 'things' while you were upstairs." Sai said. She nodded.
"Hai." She whispered and looked at the red haired man. He was thinking. She sat down next to them in silence.
"Sakura." She turned to Gaara, he was looking at the ceiling. "Do you have any idea of who it might be?" he asked quietly.
"Iie, I have no idea. All of us have enemies from our fights, but I don't see who would go this far."
"You'll be guarded 24/7 by my best ANBU and myself until we figure things out." He stated.
"I don't care about me, I'm worried about the twins." She whispered. Gaara nodded and turned to her.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to them." He said softly. "We didn't have so much work for nothing."
"Thank you Gaara-kun."
"You won't get anything good from what you're doing." His words kept repeating in his mind.
"You called Leader?"
"Yes, you're gonna find out where she is."
"Hai. Anything else Leader?"
"No. Inform me as soon as you know where she is and if she is guarded."
"Hai, I'll be going then. If you'll excuse me."
Missing-nin assigned to find Haruno Sakura POV
It was easy to sneak inside Konoha, they are so relaxed that they miss some spots in their shifts guarding the city. Can't blame them thought, they have a Jinchuuriki as a Hokage.
I enter a dark alley and use the Henge no Jutsu and transform myself into a regular un-suspicious person.
Luckily for me, my job just got easier, everyone is chatting about Haruno-san. I approach an old lady carrying a lot of bags and help her out, maybe I can get some info from her.
"Thank you young man!!" the lady says.
"It's nothing!" I say smiling, can't be suspicious, plus, I'm not a bastard kind of bad guy.
"Anou, do you know why everyone is talking about Haruno-san?" I ask casually.
"Oh, yes I do. The Kazekage-sama came to get her yesterday." I raise an eyebrow, the Kazekage??
"You see, Sakura-chan is a close friend to the young Kazekage, she saved his life when they were teenagers and they became friends." The old lady explained.
"Oh… I see."
"And yesterday he came to get her. That young man she lives with went too, he's a really good artist, his paintings are beautiful!!"
"Vacation perhaps?"
"Oh no young man, that young artist is always working!" I raised a confused brow.
"Always working? How come?"
"You see, that young boy was raised in the Root program." The lady started, by now we were sitting in her living room.
"Danzou-sama raised him in a very harsh way, the Root was a program from my time that was forbidden by the Hokage."
"Why so??"
"You see, all Root are raised so they have absolutely no emotions, and Sai-kun was raised that way. But after he came back from his first mission with Sakura-chan, Yamato-san and the Rukodaime-sama he started studying about emotions, I saw him a lot in the library, he read lots of books. I think he read all the books there were about emotions and psychology."
"Oh."
"That's not all, he studied hard, but he wasn't able feel, so everyone lost faith in him, he stopped coming to the library for weeks, he was 17 back then, until Sakura-chan told him she had faith!" the old lady smiled, seems Haruno-san is a good person.
"Haruno-san seems a good person." I commented.
"She is young man. Anyway, after Sakura-chan encouraged Sai-kun, he started studying even harder, I often saw the 2 of them there, Sakura-chan would show him how emotions were in real life!"
"I see… you told me he is always working?"
"Oh, yes… you see, he always protects Sakura-chan, even when they are bickering with one another he protects her. He is a very caring person, even if he doesn't shows!"
"I see, he reminds me of my boss." Leader may seem very harsh and cruel, but he actually has a good heart, he could have killed us all when he took over the organization, but he didn't, not because he needed us, because he… was merciful.
The old lady smiled and I urged her to go on, even if I am working and am a criminal, I still like to know more, I'm curious.
"She has very good children, she raised them well!!"
"So I heard, what are their names again? I keep forgetting." I half lied, if my thoughts are correct about Leader, we'll need their names for later.
"Adorable twins!! A boy and a girl, Ryuuki-kun and Kyuuki-chan!! Ryuuki-kun reminds me of Sakura-chan when she was little, shy and quiet, but also cheerful. And Kyuuki-chan is like, perhaps our young Hokage but less agitated, she is very energetic and cheerful!!" the old lady was nice and kept smiling.
"I see, so they are good kids huh?"
"Oh yes, the young Kazekage likes them very much, and they like him too, Gaara-sama doesn't looks the same when he has them in his arms, he smiles and plays with them!!"
"Did Gaara-sama take them to Suna?" I inquired casually, I'd like to stay and know more, but I should get going or Leader will kill me, not kill me kill me of course.
"Yes!! He said his nephew missed the twins and that Sakura-chan deserved some rest!"
"Oh, I see!" I smiled and got up. "Thank you for the hospitality, but I'll be going now!" the lady nodded and I started to walk away.
"Have a safe trip to where you're going young shinobi, and don't let yourself get caught by the guards!" the lady said as I left her house. Sneaky old woman, she knew from the start I wasn't a normal villager and that I wasn't from Konoha either, I assume she told me all of this because she knew I'm not gonna hurt anyone. Anyway, I'm off to Suna.
Leader's POV
"I repeat what I told you, you won't get anything good from what you're doing." He keeps repeating those words, damn him to hell. I'm the Leader and I do what I want.
"Why would I listen to you anyway?" I asked in annoyance as I opened the door to leave the sealed room. He kept drinking his tea peacefully while looking at the garden.
"What do you think she'll do if you kill someone close to her?" he asked back, I hate when he does that. I turned to him glaring.
"I'm not gonna kill anyone." I mutter almost in a whisper.
"Ok, what do you think she'll do if you kidnap her children?" why the hell does he always answers with a question? Can't he talk like normal people?
"Don't care, I hate betrayals." I stated. He chuckled.
"You hate betrayal but you betray." He stated coolly.
"Whatever." I muttered to him and left the room, he's a moron anyway.
I walk through the hallways to the living room where the subordinate cough slave cough I sent to check on her is with new info.
I enter the room and he bows lightly.
"So?" I ask, I don't want to wait.
"She's staying with the Kazekage." Just great, she's in Suna now.
"He has his best ANBU protecting her and the twins 24/7, when he finishes his work he's always near her and/or the kids." Is that so?? I have the right people to put my plan working.
"Hn." I send him away and sit down thinking.
Let's see, she's staying with the Kazekage, 24/7 surveillance. 2 kids, a replacement and her, plus the Kazekage and ANBU.
I need… distraction… easy and quick way to get away… water to slow the Gaara's sand jutsus… and… and… that's it!
Now… where are the people I need for this…
I get up and walk to the training area, as I expected, everyone's training.
"Deidara, Kisame." I called out coolly, they stopped sparing and looked at me.
"What is it Leader, yeah?" Deidara asked.
"We have a mission, the rest of you can't take 3 days off and… just take 3 days off."
"Hai." They all answered.
"Me too Leader?? Tobi is god boy and has nothing to do." Tobi, I kinda understand Deidara, he really gets on my nerves for being so dense sometimes. Sigh.
"You can stay guarding him."
"Hai Leader!!" Tobi exclaimed happily. Weird guy, anyway…
"We're leaving now, so you 2 get ready." I told Deidara and Kisame.
"Hai." They answered and went to get their things, and my plan begins now.
