02 / / Couldn't Tell
One day she returned with her haori stained.
She said it was paint. He knew it was not.
She couldn't tell Itachi she had been hurt, so she had washed out the blood as best she could. It could not be helped that she had been found with Naruto-kun, and she held no sign that she was under the protection of a clan (prodigy).
She also couldn't tell Itachi she had found a friend.
Thankfully, she wasn't too young to learn how to fight.
She couldn't tell Itachi that the defensive techniques she saw him practice had saved her life.
A/N: She can't tell him who hurt her! It'd be a mini-massacre!
