Crimson Queen
"She's a threat?" Lee asked curiously. The Hokage gave them another humorless smile.
"She's the biggest threat this village has ever had." Sarutobi said as he propped his chin up on his palm. He was too frustrated to play mind games with these kids. He would tell them if they asked the right questions, and let Uzudeal with them afterwards. The damage may be done, but at least he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. He hated babysitting.
"How so?" Neji asked as he narrowed his pale eyes.
Sarutobi closed his eyes and thought about his question. How was she not a threat would be the better question. She was a stealth expert, she was a demolition expert, and fought on both the Kage and Sanin levels. She had taught herself over ninety forbidden jutsu, had mastered sixty of them. Knew medical jutsu, had incredible chakra control and super human strength. He could honestly say that she could destroy the entire world if she wanted too.
"She could destroy the village if she wanted too. All it would take is one of her jutsu." Sarutobi said as he stifled a yawn, he needed a nap. Because Uzu had been in the hospital for so long he had been stuck attending her meetings and doing her work, he hadn't been able to go to sleep or sleep in when he did sleep. So he was pretty tired.
"Why is she allowed to walk around freely?" Lee asked in concern. Sarutobi sighed. It wasn't exactly the question he had hoped to have asked, but it was slightly closer than the other one had been.
"It's because...she is the Hokage. Now if your done picking my brain go away. I need a nap." He said in a rush as he stood up and entered the room off to the side of the office and closed the door. Missing the shocked looks on the the kids faces. He had done his part, and now revenge was his. They were Uzu's problem now. Ha, ha, ha.
Uzu was grocery shopping for junk food to gorge on while Kakashi was gone when Gai finally caught up with her. "M-M-My l-lady...c-can I h-h-help?" Gai panted as he doubled over beside her as she stood on her tip toes to reach something on the top shelf, she looked down at him with a funny look on her face before thrusting her basket into his arms as he stood up and grabbed what she wanted and tossed it in the basket.
"Follow." She said as she started to walk away, Gai nodded and fell into step behind her as she walked down one isle then another until the basket was full.
"So Kakashi is out of the village-" Gai started to say as he looked down at the food in the basket and cringed. There was a whole lot of junk in there. Was she really going to eat all of this?
"He is. What of it?" She asked as she paid for her things and started to pick up her bags when Gai grabbed them and followed her outside where they bumped into Neji, Lee and Tenten.
"You, woman are the-" Neji stopped speaking when the blond swung her arm in an arch in a quick motion that none of them could track, and found a blade pressed against his jugular as the girl's eyes searched the crowd around them for any signs of people having over heard what he had almost said. She glanced at him through narrowed eyes.
"I want you to keep in mind that in my present state I could be hurt or even killed very easily. And I also want you to keep in mind that I am a very bad person to fuck with, kid. So watch what you say. If I think even for a second that your trying to get me and my babies killed....I will destroy you. And there is'nt anyone in this village who can stop me. Understand?" She said in a low dangerous tone as Gai paled.
Neji gulped and nodded before she removed the blade. "Gai, would you and you students like to join me for dinner today?" She asked with a serene smile on her pretty face. Gai nodded mutely and she grinned.
"Great! I've never had company over for dinner before. This is kind of exciting." She said happily as she started walking. Gai sighed and gave his team a quick glare then followed after her.
