(My POV)
Light began to peak into my view and I opened my eyes fully. I was met with blinding lights. The next thing that came into view shocked me more than I can describe, so I'll tell you what I did at that moment. Ok I saw Kabuto and instantly my right hand shoots up to punch him, but before I could make contact, a different hand shot out, grabbing the punch. I looked over to find Sasuke.
"Calm down Bailey," he said as I sat up.
"Wow Sasuke, I didn't think she could have so much energy compared to you," Kabuto said smirking. Sasuke instantly glared back with that oh-so-famous Uchiha glare.
"Put that thing away you could kill someone," I said smiling, earning a snort from Mitchell who was in the corner. It made me smile even more. Sasuke stuck his tongue out, his childish side instantly coming out. I stuck mine out and a chuckle came from the door. I was startled so I quickly looked over and saw the Snake Sannin smiling in the door way. He was like a pedophile when he stared at Sasuke.
"Ah, I see the girl has awakened. When do you plan on leaving?" he asked staring at me. I glared at the man.
"I have a name you know, it's Bailey and I would certainly like to leave right now, Hebi," I answered glaring at him with a combination of the Hyuga glare and the Uchiha glare. Sasuke backed away and hid behind the sleeping Shikamaru. Orochimaru stood his ground and glared straight on back. Kabuto stared back and forth to see who would break first. We both cringed at the same time and looked away. He walked out of the room.
"Oh yeah, I beat the snack bastard," I said and got a high-five from Mitchell. I got off the table I was on and made sure I cracked my back twice before I moved to far.
"Before you go, I want to ask if the Akatsuki were sighted in Konoha lately." Kabuto asked.
"I don't know. Wait, how long was I out?" I asked.
"About four days or so, it could be more," Shikamaru mumbled still lying down. Well now he's awake. "Why are asking?"
"I heard that they were looking for a member and of course Naruto," Kabuto answered. I instantly froze was it them who sent the letter, but who exactly were the Akatsuki. Wow I really must be clueless.
"Are you quite finished?" I asked staring at the grey haired man. He nodded and escorted us out the door. We began sprinting towards Konoha. We actually weren't even very far away. Everyone was silent until Sasuke decided to break the silence.
"What do you think you'll do?" I gave him a questioning glance pushing him to go on. "The letter you had that wasn't signed." He tried to explain farther but I stopped and he rammed straight into my back, though the impact didn't make me budge. He got up and we continued sprinting.
"So you went through my stuff?" I questioned glaring at his back.
"Yeah so?" the village came into view at that moment.
"So you just went through my belongings like I was dead?" I yelled at him. He looked back at me as we quickly approached.
"You're not dead though!" he shouted back.
"Than you had no right to go through my stuff," I yelled back. By then we were at the gate and Kotetsu and Izumo were staring at us weirdly.
"Ok, I'm sorry you happy?" he yelled back before stomping away angrily. Kotetsu and Izumo stared after him like they had just been stabbed.
"It's a sign of the apocalypse. Sasuke just apologized," Kotetsu mumbled as we entered the village and moved toward Tsunade's office. I was furious and the villagers took that as the time to clear the streets, but as I walked or stomped down the street, I kind of regretted my snapping at him. I slowed down, letting them catch up to me.
We walked to Tsunade's office in silence. We bowed to her and I stepped forward.
"Tsunade, the location is east 23 miles. We also gathered information during the infiltration. They believe this organization, called Akatsuki, are after Naruto and someone to be their member," I told her with a stern look on her face. Her face angered as she wrote down the location. "I think they'll be moving bases though."
"Mitchell, Shikamaru, out now!" she said. Mitchell was going to protest, but when he saw her stern face; he immediately pushed Shika out the door and scurried out himself. "Bailey, do you know who the Akatsuki are?"
"No, afraid I've never heard anything about them," I answered.
"They are a group of S-rank criminals. All of them are rogue ninja from their villages. Your brother is one of them," she answered. My eyes widened at her comment. Itachi used to visit me every year on my birthday just to check on me.
"Is this from them, then," I asked as I pulled out the letter. I handed it to her. She read through it and saw her begin thinking of something.
"I believe so, but when they do come, join them, don't fight back," she answered. I stared at her in shock. I was going to fight back. "You will join them, and spy for me. You will check up whenever possible."
"What if they kill me?" I started but she interrupted.
"Your brother is among them. If he didn't kill you during the massacre then, he won't kill you now," she answered.
"Then I want to tell you what really happened," I answered. She gave me a questioning look. "After I became a Chunin, I took it upon myself to find out who actually did kill the Uchihas. It was not Itachi. Don't ever think that. The Sandiame let me get access to the all of the Uchiha files. I hid them in a room under my bedroom in the compound for I knew he would never come back. I found one the matched the person that attacked me. I told people it wasn't Itachi, but no one but the Sandiame believed me. The one that matched was supposed to be dead, but it was him."
"Who?" she inquired as she motioned for me to continue.
"Here's the place where I left the files. His name was Uchiha…" I paused to collect myself and I handed her a list of directions. "…Madara." Her eyes widened.
"He is dead. My granddad killed him. If he didn't die, then how is he alive now?" she stood up and began pacing her office. She calmed down and sat back down. "To be sure, guard Naruto until they come. Let no one know about this." I bowed and exited. "Just so you know, he is now pretty much a free man," she yelled as I looked back. I smiled and continued walking.
"Who was that about?" Mitchell asked suddenly popping up in front of me. I pushed past him annoyed.
"None of your business," I replied and headed toward training ground seven. I walked through Konoha slightly at peace. Tenten came up behind me and chose that moment to hug me. I was slightly surprised but when that passed, I hugged her back and we split ways once more.
"Bailey, what are you doing here?" I looked up and saw Kakashi perched on the branch above me. I smiled back and jumped on the branch.
"I came to protect Naruto. The Akatsuki are moving," I whispered to him.
"Naruto, Bailey is here to spend the day with you on orders of Tsunade," he said.
"Tsunade is sick of you dropping into her office at all hours," I told him. "You will stay in my sight until I say otherwise. If you sneak off, I get to personally beat you and trust me that will be most enjoyable." I cracked my knuckles for emphasis. He flinched slightly and tried to hide behind Sasuke.
"Hey Dobe, irritate my sister and you die. Make sure I don't have to beat you to," Sasuke said cracking his knuckles for emphasis as well.
"What's with Uchihas and doing that," he said hiding behind Sakura. I laughed at him and motioned for him to follow me.
"So, I'm guessing you want ramen?" I asked side-glancing toward him. He nodded excitedly and began to bounce up and down. Ichiraku Ramen came into view and I literally had to drag myself in. Ramen was not something I was in the mood for. We sat down and Ayame came over to take our orders. Naruto got Miso Ramen like he always did. I chose to just get a glass of water for now, saying I wasn't really hungry.
"So Bailey, why do you have to guard me?" he asked. I looked at him thinking that he wasn't as dense as he puts off.
"I can't explain, but how would you like to do something to pass the time?" I asked leaning on the table.
"What do you have in mind?" he asked his mouth full of ramen.
"I don't know. How about two sleepovers? Neji can host the one for guys and I can host the one for girls considering our rooms are right next to each other," I said looking at him.
"That would be awesome! I could make fun of Sasuke-teme longer today," he joyfully answered sitting farther up on his stool.
"You just love annoying my brother don't you?" I said to him and he began to nod crazily we he got his third bowl of ramen.
