Maid of the Uchiha

Chapter 3

Nagi and Mikoto are walking down the street with both of them are rather cheerful as the two of them seem to be talking to each other as they go. Nagi is wearing her normal maid clothes and the same is with Mikoto. The two of them seemed to be carrying some bags with different foods and supplies in them.

"I still say you should go on a date with Itachi. You both think highly of each other and the two of you are always cute around each other." Mikoto stated with a cheerful tone as this seemed to always come about in the last couple of months it has been since she first brought it up. Nagi almost fully tripped and fell on her face by the random question. "Than you two could eventually get married and you can truly become my daughter."

"Mikoto-sama… please." Nagi crocked out as she heard the mother of her master giggle cutely as she seemed to like the idea. It was extremely embarrassing considering so many people around her were giggling also as they seemed to have over heard everything. They were on the main market street in Konoha.

Mikoto was never going to stop, Nagi just knew it. Mikoto has always been this way with things that embarrassed her. It was more for the fact that she would get 'cute' if what Mikoto said about why she does it is anything to say about it. It didn't mean that Nagi didn't hated it.

"Look at them… that monster is acting like their dog again." A whisper came from somewhere which got a rather dark reaction from Mikoto. Her Sharingan instantly turned on and she seemed to be longing around as if tracking anyone that seemed to even breath a word.

"Suits it better. Being on a leash. I just hope they tighten it more and lock it away. Hell, putting it down would be better." Another whisper came to which Mikoto seemed to at least have a general area in which the voices were coming from.

"Do not mind it Mikoto-sama. I don't pay attention to them." Nagi stated as she continued on her way with Mikoto glaring in the direction the voices were coming from which caused the whole area to flinch and step away from them by one step.

"You shouldn't have to listen to them at all. They don't deserve any of your forgiveness. You saved them by taking on that curse and they treat you like this." Mikoto said with annoyance in her voice as her Sharingan disappeared from her eyes and went back to normal.

"Like I said, I do not pay attention them. They have lost many things to what I hold so they have a right to be angry. They cant do anything to it so they force there hatred on me. I don't let it bother me." Nagi stated with a smile as Mikoto just stared at her.

She ever let it bother her because she didn't think anything of it. Always on her mind was to please her masters and nothing else. Even if the abuse she had received by the people of Konoha, she didn't think of it as that. She just dealt with it and left it as nothing as people she didn't care about. Why did she have to care about them when they weren't her masters?

It also came down to the seal as well. She never thought herself above or on the same level as everyone else. While she knew that she wasn't a slave or anything, she was always serving them so she viewed herself as below a lot of people. That her station in life was at a lower level even if it was a good life outside of doing her work.

That didn't mean that it was a bad thing. She always looked at someone as they were and not by there station. She never cared about who they were nor what they did. She just went on with little care as she only served her master who was Itachi. The only opinion she really cared about was his. Granted she always fell back on her servitude like mind set should she know someone is on a higher social level like the Hokage or the Daimyo.

She loved her life really. She had a purpose and a happy environment. The people she lived her life with made her happy and while she might not like the way Sasuke acted now, everyone she knew was like family. Even if she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.

"Well, well, well…. What do we have here? If it isn't the gorgeous matriarch of the Uchiha." A man with a Jonin vest said with a husky tone, the light red tinge on his cheeks showed that he was rather drunk. Neither of the woman that were in front of him could believe that this guy was drunk this early in the morning.

"Hello Tatsuya-san. I see that your drunk again." Mikoto stated with a sigh in her voice as she just stayed calm on the outside. She was rather annoyed on the inside as she just wanted to get this over with. Nagi just stayed on the side waiting to get a signal to leave… or get rid of Tatsuya. She had heard some things about him.

"I'm not drunk… I just had a couple of drinks. Come on. Why don't you come home with me? We could have a rather fun time." Tatsuya stated with a hick to his voice as he leaned forward towards her. Nagi's eyes narrowed though a man stepped in front of her to which she stared at him with a dark glare.

"I've told you I am married Tatsuya-san and I don't like you. I have told you that since we were kids. I'm also sure that your girlfriend wouldn't like you cheating on her." Mikoto stated with a calm tone and hoped that this would be enough to get him to go away. She doubted it but she could only hope.

"Oh please, I beat I could do a much better job than that hack Fugaku. Come on, leave that bum and come be with a true man." Tatsuya stated as he started to get close to Mikoto who opened her eyes that were closed and the Sharingan flared in her eyes for a second time. It was obvious that she didn't want to be touched but he

As soon as Tatsuya touched her face, he was suddenly lifted into the air by the neck. The man that was in front of Nagi fell to the ground showing that she was gone and was indeed the one holding Tatsuya up in the air. Tatsuya looked down at her and she wasn't even looking up at him.

"So…. The Uchiha Dog is here as well. Get out of my way, bitch. Go running back to lick the heels of that brat." Tatsuya stated with a lack of breath and as soon as he finished, immense Chakra slammed down onto the whole street and Nagi slowly looked up.

"Leave. I will not allow you to touch Mikoto-sama or make fun of my master." Nagi said with a dark serious tone as her bangs shadowed her face making her even more deadly looking even in the maid outfit. The man just seemed to laugh at this like anything she did wouldn't even hurt him.

"Like some mutt would be able to touch me. I'm a Jonin and a former Hokage candidate." He said most likely bluffing at the last part. He was also drunk and Nagi just stared on him even though he was sweating. The amount of Chakra she was putting out was putting a lot of people near them to their knee's.

"I see. Then I can be a little rough if you're a former Hokage candidate." Nagi stated as the Chakra lifted but she reeled back her arm before smashing him in the stomach. Tatsuya went flying slamming into the street a good foot ball field away. Nagi was lucky it was a very straight street.

Nagi blinked as she looked at her arm to see a smiling Mikoto. "Well that was close. While I don't know the full idea of your Taijutsu, that much Chakra in your arm is not good to use even against a drunk Nagi-chan." Mikoto stated with a slight laugh to which Nagi just nodded her head in acceptance. At least she wasn't mad or anything on that level.

"Seems like you cleaned up that mess. He gives us Jonin a bad name." A feminine voice but more tomboyish than anything came from behind them. They turned to see a dark haired female in rather visually appeasing clothes behind them using one hand to block out the sun while admiring Nagi's work on the matter.

"Ah Anko, how are you doing today? I hope you haven't had any problems with anybody today." Mikoto stated with a slight bow and smile on her face. While she didn't like the extreme force that Nagi used, she dealt with him and she didn't have to.

"Ah I'm doing fine. Nice to see that drunk Tatsuya get smacked around. People tend to stay away from me now since I can scare the shit out of them when I want." Anko stated with a smirk as she seemed to pull a Dango out of no where and started to eat it.

"So what can we do for you today Anko-chan? I doubt that you're here just to exchange pleasantries." Mikoto said as she had an idea as to what Anko was here. It was nice to see her and all since the Police Force had helped her out on occasion and she did work with Itachi sometimes.

"I'm here for Inu-chan there. The old fart wants to see her about something." Anko stated with a chipper tone while Nagi just ignored the dog comment. Even if she said anything, Anko wouldn't stop and she got it more after she started hanging out with Hana despite the slur that the Inuzuka hated being said towards her.

The loved being referred to in conjecture to there dogs but being called a dog by others in a specific way just set them off. Actually being called a dog meant they were considered pets and animals that served someone. They respected dogs and everything so actually calling someone a dog with a specific tone was a rather big no in there book.

The Inuzuka used specific words associated with dogs and other animals like pup, bitch, pack, alpha and other terms but being called a dog outright was a no, no. Anko didn't care and she didn't mean it in a bad way. To her it was just a nickname and she thought it was funny.

"Mikoto-sama?" Nagi asked with a tilt of her head as she seemed to be asking for permission. Normally she would ask Itachi to be excused from her duties but he was out on a mission so it fell on one of her former sub masters. She didn't have to anymore but she felt it was proper to ask for her leave since she was helping her. That and she was just so used to it by now that it was second nature.

"Go ahead and see what Hokage-sama wants of you. Anko-chan can help me getting the groceries back home." Mikoto said with a smile while Anko just made a huh sound. Nagi nodded before handing Anko the bags which she made another confused sound.

"Thank you for helping Anko-sama. Please make sure Mikoto-sama get back home safely." Nagi stated before walking off. She could feel Anko looking at her and at the bags she was holding before groaning loudly at being brought into this. She had things to do.

It didn't take Nagi that long to get to the Hokage Tower from where they were on market street. Nagi wondered why the Hokage would call her when Itachi was out on a mission. It was usually the opposite and while she might have helped the Hokage out in the past, she really wasn't considered a ninja under his command.

She was labeled as Dog of the Uchiha for a couple of reasons. She had gone to protect Itachi while he was out on missions before that weren't Anbu and was commanded by him on a couple of occasion to do things for him. Hell she protected the Uchiha when someone came to kidnap Sasuke or assassinate Fugaku and Mikoto.

"Come in." A voice from behind a door said as she knocked on it. Nagi walked in and saw a rather old white haired man sitting behind a desk. Nagi bowed politely and respectfully to the man before standing there waiting for him to speak. "Ah Nagi-chan. I'm glad you could come on such short notice. I know your very busy."

"It is fine Hokage-sama. Mikoto-sama said that it was alright for me to come here and see what you need. Is there something I could help you with?" Nagi asked with a slight tilt of her head. She still wondered why she was called here as she was rarely ever called upon by the Hokage.

"Do you know about the Mission I sent Sasuke's team on?" The Hokage said with seriousness and a pit formed in her stomach as worry took over. By the way that was phrased it seemed like she wasn't going to like what the Hokage was going to tell her.

"Yes, Wakasama and his team were sent to wave to guard the old bridge builder. Are they… ok?" Nagi asked with a stress on the ok at the end as worry was definitely in her voice. While Sasuke had been a rather big brat in the last year, she still viewed him as a little brother. At least she thought she did.

"They are quite fine I assure you. They have just run into a snag or two. Kakashi has been doing his job." The Hokage stated to relieve some of the worry off of her shoulders. By her slight relaxation of her posture, it seemed that what he said had helped.

"Than what do you need me for?" Nagi asked rather bluntly because if Kakashi is doing his job, then why was she being briefed on something like this. She had some things to do and she trusted Kakashi… slightly. He just had some rather bad habits.

"Do you know of the Demon Brothers of the Mist?" The Hokage asked to which she stared at him for a second. What was the point in the questions? Couldn't he just tell her why she was here and let her get back to her business which was much more important to her?

"They work with Zabuza, Demon of the Bloody mist. They have been taking odd jobs here and there if I remember right though they haven't been seen in the last couple of months." Nagi responded as she should as while she just wanted to go back to work, she didn't want to get on the Hokage's bad side and there be an issue between the village and her masters.

"Well, Team Seven has ran into the Demon Brothers while on route to wave and its only a matter of time before they run into Zabuza." The Hokage stated which made warning bells go off in her head and that pit in her stomach to return as there was no way Sasuke could fight someone on his level. She wonder if she would be able to fight him with her current level of strength.

"This is why I called you here. Most of our high level ninja are on missions and the ones we have here are currently doing jobs. I would have Anko go and help but after her break she is interrogating a high value target." The Sandaime stated to which she looked at all her options and where she stood on this. It wasn't that much of a decision.

"Considering your track record of doing things anyway when you find out, going on Jonin level missions with Itachi despite orders not to." The Sandaime started to which Nagi blushed slightly at this. It wasn't her fault she was worried Itachi would over do something and get hurt. Her duty was to ensure his safety and that was all that mattered. "This is where you come in."

"You are currently strong enough and capable enough to ensure there safety. You might not be under my command but I do know that you have standing orders from Itachi to watch over his brother. Will you be able to work on this mission despite not being a part of the military?" The Hokage stated as while he didn't like it, she was probably the fastest person in the village to help the team out even if he was exploiting her orders from Itachi. It sadly, came with her status as a Jinchuuriki to be a tool for the village despite how he viewed her.

"Hai, I do not mind Hokage-sama. Like you said, I have orders to oversee his safety. I would of went anyways should I of overheard anything." Nagi stated making the Hokage look at her sadly. He was very proud of how she grew up despite her circumstances. She was strong, kind and had become a beautiful women.

"Thank you. I want you to be careful. I do not want you taking unnecessary risks while doing this as you have in the past. Come back in one piece this time." The Sandaime said after he walked over to her and then put a hand on her head, rubbing it. She blushed at this as the Sandaime had always been kind to her. After the seal was removed, she had come to view him as a grandfather sort of.

"I will try… Ji-sama." Nagi muttered out but the Sandaime smiled at this.

"Run along now, child. You have to get ready and remember, come back safely." The Sandaime said to which she nodded before running out of the room, embarrassed she had said something so out of place and strange. The Sandaime went to his desk, pulling a picture of a blonde and red haired couple out from his desk.

"You would be proud of her despite the circumstances Minato, Kushina. She might still have a lot to gain towards her life but she is a bright person. She has many people to help her along her way to becoming a great person that people with one day look up to." The Sandaime stated softly at this before going back to work. Little did he know that he was opening the door fully for her future and to let the sands of time to move freely once again.
