Blinking blearily, Yugito was unwilling to move. She was comfortable for what felt like the first time in days, probably because she was. Muffled voices were coming from her left but, honestly, she didn't care... if it was the Akatsuki she would die any way, if not, the alternative wasn't much better. But, she was a (ex-)Jōnin and would act like it...

Naruto turned to watch as his fellow jinchūriki (Demon container) forced herself up. It wasn't that shocking however, he had recovered from worse in less time... ignoring his extra seven tails anyway. Granny Tsunade was talking with another medic and Sakura nearby, and they looked rather concerned when Yugito, as he learned from the most recent bingo book from Kumogakure no Sato (Village hidden in the clouds), woke up, despite the large amount of sedative in her system. They had put enough to KO even a kage, so this may be a problem. "Ha" the Kyuubi no yoko (Nine tailed fox) barked in side Naruto's mind "I like her! She's stubborn, just like Matatabi. That neko can put up a hell of a fight when she's mad..." The Fox stated, but mumbled the last part...
causing Naruto to pause and quirk his eyebrow. Oddly enough Yugito was doing the same, but with a slightly more disturbed look on her face, while watching Naruto. Apparently, Tsunade was more annoyed than anything, however, evidenced by her "Get the hell out of here gaki, I knew you being here would screw something up"

Yugito blinked, then quirked her eyebrow before screaming, mentally of course, at her rather perverted Nibi no Bakeneko to stop her descriptions of her and the Kyuubi's 'private time'. Tsunade turned to her, and she accepted that this was going to be a long day. "So, miss Ni'i... would you mind telling me how you came to be in my gaki's care, and why you came here of all places! Our relation ship with Kumo is... strenuous at best."
Yugito blinked before her mind put together the sentence, when she stared out , a bit hoarsely "Hokage-sama... I came here because Kumo believes I'm... defective. As for your first question, Hokage-sama...Who?" Muttering about gakis and odd jinchūriki and sake, Tsunade pointed out where the blond, apparently the jinchūriki of the Kyuubi left, "That gaki was the gaki, and how did you end up in his care, usually girls avoid him like the plague!" "I-I'm sorry Hokage-sama, I was unaware that he was in charge of me... I was out of it after he and his fellow Jōnin had-" "He's only a Genin, why, in the name of Kami, did you think he was a Jōnin!" "W-well, He was easily moving at high-Jōnin level speeds, and his chakra is off the charts... so yeah..."Yugito sputtered out, unbelieving that kid could only just be a Genin. "That's because he's been training under that damn pervert that calls him-self my team mate! That was a good laugh Yugito-Chan, I do believe I needed that!" Shifting in her place, the younger blond stared at the Hokage, perplexed, and was rather uncomfortable to be treated like this, as a person 'Right, soon as they can extract the Nibi, I'm dead any way... might as well enjoy it...' "So Yugito-chan" Tsunade started, "It'll be a couple of days until all this is sorted out, feel free to wander the village, and stay out of trouble, or, well ANBU..." Tsunade stated walking out of the rather meager little hospital room. 'Soooo... what do I do...Nibi?' "Kitten?" what should I do now... I can walk around the village, but I have no idea where to go...' "So find that other, rather stunning, jinchūriki, or find a nice food stand, ooooohhhhhhhhh you could go find Konoha's resident demon cat. It would be nice to see Tora again." 'Konoha... has a demon cat... what. When did this happen, I thought there were only nine tailed demons?' "Well, kitten, demons come in many forms, Tora was one of my better friends before she got turned into a mortal..." 'Nibi... How, in the name of Kami, did she manage that! That would be nearly impossible, even with a seal master!" Well, you see, its like this..."

Down, up, left, left, left, right, left again, stop. That was his pattern for the past couple of days, the trees of Konoha were rather easy to navigate, if numerous. Stopping for a little bit of water, and to scan his surroundings he sat down. 'God Rook (A/N: Yes, its not Japanese or original, but that is his name) the hell did you get your self into this time. You should have known walking into the council chambers in a meeting, only to announce your defecting from Kumo would piss off the Raikage... still, things could be worse, the Akatsuki don't have Yugito-niichan...yet.' after surveying his equipment kit he found he was down to a days worth of rations, which would only leave him enough to get to Konoha...'Wonderful, Yugito-niichan has to be there or I would have found her by now. Lets go Rook, get up and move damn it!'
About twenty more minutes in, and Rook got very tired of all the simple mistakes the Kumo ANBU were making, small twitches and what not. Turning around, he withdrew his Katana, and that was the last twitch any of them ever made.

The eternal gate guards shifted in place, looking at each other, and returned their gaze to the shinobi walking toward them. With ANBU cargo pants, a ANBU top, a belt with some pouches hanging off, and a hoari on his right leg, as well as the katana on his waist, just under his ANBU flack jacket, with field modified pouches added, and his ANBU bracers, and kneepads this man did, in fact, present a rather nerve racking figure for the two chunin.
