OPERATION AND ABRASION.
October 23rd, overtime dusk.
Hinata collapsed on the floor, her forehead embellished with sweat beds that ran amoke the nape of her neck and escaped into her oversized tees, which were not even hers. Her wrist was tenderly placed above her forehead as she heaved with breath occasionally, licking her lips.
It was tiring, exhausting but a serene smile graced her lips. It was a success, the critical surgery was a success.
She recalled when it all started, a week prior to now when she gasped with a trembling heart as she noticed the situation of her patient. He was recovering and suddenly not. His body adapted to injuries beseeched to heal itself but his mind was far too traumatized. The mental strain he weighed upon him conjoined brain cells that edged his nerves. He would shiver upon a slight decrease in temperature and sweat a lot if it increased. His fingers would continually twitch, brows furrowed as if undergoing excruciating agony. She surveyed him and even tried to work upon the complex entanglements but to vain.
She realized what the main problem was, his body was on guard that meant her chakra would not heal him. Frowning she paced everywhere trying to figure out anything that would help the situation. It was a whole afternoon but Sasuke tackled her down on the tatami mats. It was an innate response that she turned on her byakugan with whatever chakra that was left. Now she couldn't be thankful enough for her instincts. What she observed was Sasuke's chakra signature. The affinities were oddly similar, the nature and complexities. It hit her like a barrel of kerosene, sasuke Or more specifically his chakra can help it. A split second of happiness but there stood a bigger tower, he had no idea about medical ninjutsu. He mentioned how he copied the basics and can function on them but intricate surgeries like she wanted needed experience, an asset they couldn't afford right now. She had what he lacked, experience. The war, the aftermath created many windows for medical science to grow. Though she would never say the war was personally helpful, it was a positive aspect she focused on.
An idea emerged, a visual of slender skillful hand holding onto a glass pen filled with ink that predestinately drew calligraphy. The spurt of innovation was a canon ball of hope. It took time and part of her sanity to make sense of her visuals and put it in practical use.
A thorough wandering later she divided her plan into parts, the pen and the hand.
She focused on her basics. For every awkwardly kept strand of chakra that later tightened into knots she needed to zap it so it could loosen itself and provide flexibility for further administrations. The continuous but low voltage power would provide mobility. But because of amount of water our body inhabits the chakra would seep out as in the electricity could damage more than ever repair. For a double protection she had his fire type for layering so it wouldn't scatter. It needed to be sleek and precise.
The second part, the hand was her sole job. Because she couldn't allow for the fire to wreck havoc she had to create barrier of sorts. She stumbled upon this unhappening combination of her water chakra and the hyuga tenketsu techniques. She had to mold it so it held enough density as to not splatter like amoeba but enough to slide perfectly in the body. She also had to guide Sasuke's chakra that was.
For sake of simplicity she explained it as clay, Sasuke's combination of sleek needle and hers as hand. It had to be skillful so it put force whenever necessary without causing rupture to the whole package.
He understood, roughly. She told him the major problem was time that even though they grasped the concept, practical utility would need practice.
Sasuke was hesitant at first then he complied and told her about his Tsukuyomi, an infinite dream whose ruler was only him. It was a superpower really, to capture people where days would be mere seconds in reality. A haunted place used for excruciating torture and bad will was now a field of medical practice for both of them.
Individually they outdid their capacities both desperate to save something uncertain. It was trouble at toes to incorporate their techniques. Sasuke was told to meddle between chakra knots and pull the most liable strand so they could detangle it without causing damage. It wasn't as simple as detangling, it was a complex process to mould the body to a conservable state which would provide the utmost outcome. While Sasuke handles the push and pull Hinata would lead him with directions. Skepticism was crawling on their body hairs as they tried their best to sync.
Sync they did. Initially after a healthy amount of success the first victim however was Sasuke. Hinata without Sasuke's help was to create a conservatory atmosphere at distressed parts of his body and would zap him here and there to loosen them. It worked perfectly after three painful failures for which Hinata was accused as an assassin. She ignored him because the overall surgery was a positive but it only worked because Sasuke was accepting to her chakra and not just on edge trying to ward off foreign material.
The surgery started 3 days ago with sufficient intervals for both of them. Starting from his feet, muscles that would get cramped up. It was unnerving which led to mistakes often because of how fidgety Hinata was and how Sasuke carried on with crippling dubiosity. Few tries later they were coordinated. However their coordination was gruffly followed by lethargy and as soon as the first success rang the bell they took a long nap. Next few days were pretty much the same but with lower slip ups and higher success. It was critical when they reached the neck region. It was a short place and it took the most time. Next were the eyes which Hinata suggested she would manage but it needed time.
Once upon a time under fluorescent lights and shabby walls she remembered her sensei saying, 'If the mind is well, body remains well and vice versa. If the trouble is regarding mind and hell you can't do shit then switch to the body, keep it well. The mind is a crooked organ. It doesn't like being left behind, it heals.'
Hinata cannot explain how deep of an impact that left her and the reason for the invention of this surgery. If eyes are the windows to the soul then all they need is a little time to adjust themselves to the best possible scenario.
"This is a S class healing technique." Sasuke remarked from the wall he was leaning on with his uncharacteristic smirk on his face. "Don't you need a patent?" though it was a sarcastic comment that slipped his lips his impassive voice made her think he was accusing.
"W-what?" She blushed embarrassed at the unseeming praise that was hurled. "Sakura-chan could've done a better job…"
He rolled his eyes, thankful they were closed. This self depreciating woman really took a piece of his perseverance. "But you did it." And how illogical it was of him, OF ALL PEOPLE TO MOTIVATE HER. Circumstances have been nothing but cruel to innocent Sasuke.
"U-uh I mean…it's what needed to be done." She said with a stern resolve. People react differently to situations and she was sure Sasuke would've been homicidal if he lost another one of his kin. She saw how tense he got in the matters around him and not to probe but now that she was involved in his hell stew she might as well be off some help. "His body is relaxed and his breathing has regulated, he's recuperating hopefully. I..we cannot see the immediate results nor can I check upon his vitals without certain machines. So far so good, once his brain starts to relax he'll be functional. If I had to estimate he'd at least need a day or two to get accustomed. "
"Hn. " idly he nodded. Not that he was any professional but whatever she said sounded positive.
October 22nd, dull noon, Konoha; Hokage towers.
"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Naruto slammed his hands on the table that made a hysterical impact for all paperworks.
"Behave Naruto." Shikamaru clicked his tongue at the mess he made. Those papers were carefully sorted and he wanted to retire early what the fuck is up with people mooching off his rest days.
"Oh so you tell me that Hinata is kidnapped and I'm supposed to behave!? Is no one listening to themselves?" He roared, his fist tightly clenched.
"Naruto dumbass. She's not kidnapped she is underground. Kidnappers don't just lay dormant for weeks,the whole point of kidnapping is to get a heavy amount in return. As off how we have no such report from Hyuga clan. Actually they are not yet reported that Hinata is not in contact. " shikamaru sighed, his hand itching to pull out a cigarette.
"Underground? Are you drunk Shikamaru!? Kiba and shino clearly told they had no fucking missions and she just disappeared like that! How is that none of your worries?" He was getting tired of this shouting screaming with no aid. He only returned from his mission when he felt Kiba slaughtering tree trunks, Shino letting his kikaichu let free and Hinata nowhere in sight that he feared the worst happened and it did, indeed. He demanded answers because all he got as of now was his own words twisted with a linguistic sense of sick humor.
"Kiba and Shino also checked the perimeters thoroughly before letting Hinata wander. They didn't sense anything remotely suspicious. A small meeting regarding annual budgeting was held, Naruto in case you forgot. Hiashi of course wanted to look for suitors amidst those people and that is exactly why Hinata needed to get away. Kiba and Shino helped them; this was nothing official. If this leaks into the village, Hyugas will riot, don't you understand?" Kakashi leaned on his conjoined fingers, his eyes hard and stiff refusing to back down.
"That doesn't change the fact that she's still missing! Shino told his bugs on Hinata were crushed and Kiba couldn't smell her out anymore. If the hyugas know maybe they will send their trackers we can track her down before…before it's too late." He felt heartbroken, he felt he betrayed his dear friend.
"ANBU is in it. Do you think we don't have resources? Until and unless we find what exactly is happening I cannot deploy anything publicly. If our ANBU can trace Sasuke I'm pretty sure they can trace Hinata." Kakashi tensed. He couldn't deduce whether adding Sasuke would be fruitful or not but he hoped it would distract Naruto.
"Sasuke? He has been traced? Where?" Curiosity overflowed from the brim as he heard about him. If the Hokage is saying he will do something then he will, he shouldn't be brash.
"I can't tell you that. " Kakashi argued.
"Arghhh! I won't go follow him. I'm not a madman dammit. I just want to know. Why are you hiding this stuff from me?" Frustrated, he wanted to pull his own hair out.
"Sasuke was traced around the same place, at the same time Hinata was assumed to have vanished." There was a dead silence that enveloped the tower. Realization and hung accusations settled on tables, clothes as Naruto paled visibly repulsed the intended meaning.
"You..you don't mean…" He couldn't get words out.
"No. We cannot be brash." Shikamaru said as tenderly as he could.
"Can't you send him a message or such…?" Naruto asked hopefully. He felt betrayed at the same time, enraged at the situation.
"Sasuke strictly denied us. If he can, he will do so himself. Peace is statutory and unlike you he sternly believes how fragile that notion is. If he's out there investigating let him be." It was hard for Kakashi to not trust either one of them. He was restless for Hinata, it could all backfire if Hinata isn't reported back within a few days. He remembered Hiashi's letter regarding Hinata's mission and how he hoped she would be back soon for clan matters. On the other hand, he urgently hoped that Sasuke did in fact contact them soon or hesitantly so he'd have to deploy an official search team with Naruto, Kiba and Shino as a part. He did not want to think but that could be disastrous considering how sensitive both the teammates were about Hinata's well being, past present future irrespective and inclusive.
"Senei, " Naruto pleaded. He wasn't demanding he was simply begging to his sensei. "Is it so bad that I cannot even know about the mission?" It was pitiful how desperate he was. He wanted a hope to hang on to.
"I'm afraid I know as much as you do, Naruto." He sighed. If Naruto was going to be the Hokage then he must know what happens under the facade. "It began with traders being suspiciously changing their routes. ANBU followed them and found out they were duplicates. We found our traders unconscious, in a genjutsu on the borderline of Kumo. Sasuke confirmed it was the Sharingan. " Naruto gasped.
"But killer bee would never—"
"Listen to the hokage Naruto." Shikamaru warned. His earnest, naive vision was what they were wary of.
"As of now we know it's a part of something bigger or else Sasuke wouldn't have been engaged for so long. What I'm afraid of is the discovery of Sharingan or its similar jutsus. If there is an Uchiha spared if you don't understand Naruto, Sasuke will be crippled. And if there's something bigger happening then in the very least we need to know if it's true or not , how far they've accomplished. Moreover if hidden villages; major minor, terrorist aided are responsible or not. Decisions will vary according to the political situation. There's no better spy than an Uchiha, Naruto."
"Amidst if the capital is preparing for another war under the administration of the Daimyo's it's going to be a mess. We're not yet stable enough politically or financially, the best case scenario will be assassination or hypnotics that could go wrong in every step." Kakashi leaned back into his chair while Shikamaru shifted his weight from one foot to another.
"But we don't want that, villages will eventually know who was responsible and then you know it will be complicated. The current fire Daimyo isn't all that repulsive, he is prideful but scared so he does what we want under the influence of both you and Sasuke. If he is to be replaced under any circumstances his young, impulsive heir will hardly cooperate. The other daimyos's likewise. It is currently displayed that the fire country remains strongest with the Jyuubi, Sasuke's inherited power, the best medics and overall recovery. But for how long? It won't be too much into the future that loopholes will be found." Kakashi steadily stretched his back on the chair looking at the ceiling with a lost sense of hope.
"The moon mission. We didn't tell them about all the details. Hinata's direct inheritance of Hamura chakra and possible affiliations can cause war, Naruto." Shikamaru pressed.
The moon mission. It was a sore topic for him. A dream apparent that lead to void. He grit his teeth. "Hinata has no affiliation with them. She doesn't has the tenseigan or whatever the hell that was, Hamura's only possible living member was Toneri and he has got no shit to do with her! Keep her out of this." He glared, his eyes transforming into feral red outlines.
"Geez. I'm not saying that. Hamura or not she has always been a subject to attract attention. If the news is spilled it'll be interpreted the wrong and Konoha will be accused of hiding a weapon. Daimyo's don't leave a chance in this matters. That is also the reason we're not deploying shinobi for us to fetch the spotlight." Shikamaru corrected wary of the reactions.
"We can work without attention—"
"She has been targeted before and will be because of her position in the village but that is exactly why we have some time before officially announcing she is missing. Nins and villages don't know she's missing. This is our best chance to find her out before letting you guys out. People know you Naruto and people will also know you are with sensory types and if by chance anyone thinks about it they will also know that one of best trackers, none of the hyugas are present. It'll get….complicated. " he stressed his words that would given the current situation become true. He thought about all the answers Hokage has to give to his own people and outsiders.
"I went to the moon and split it in half, for her." He fists tightened and his eyes glared at the Hokage's eyes dead set. "Did not have second thoughts then, now. I don't care if it's the moon, earth, anything,anyone. I'll rip it apart, for her. No second thoughts." His own words suffocated him as he left the place. The door shut and he laughed.
Months ago he was the one who said if it came to between her and the village, he has to choose the village. And here he was threatening the Hokage that he would absolutely destroy everything to find her. What a fucking joker he has been to himself. He was so damn used to see her smiling at him when he returned and now that she's nowhere he doesn't like to return. He couldn't even tell whether it was his own attachment or the delirious love that he had harbored for the. He laughed, cynically.
Inside Shikamaru slid down the table to lay with his hands and legs stretched across the ground. "What a drag." Hu murmured as Hokage hummed his agreement. Similar thoughts resonated within them.
'They were supposed to have a happy ending.'
October 26th fresh morning.
Hinata nervously fiddled with the hem of her shirt as she sat across the bed in front of her now awoke patient. He had been awake for a while. She offered him water and he gladly took so, a band with cooling ointment on his eyes. His bandaged torso rest atop the wall that had been secured with cushions while feet remained unmoving almost hanging.
The sun filtered through the partial windows and she took a moment to appreciate his features.
She estimated he was not much older than they were with chiseled features that oddly resonated with Sasuke's. He had similar face approaches with his jaws just a bit wider than Sasuke's rather sculpted ones. His hair had a chief maroon color with faded dyes here and there and his natural ebony black shining through. At first glance you'd have no hesitation stating that indeed they were related.
The moment he had been awake Hinata tended to him making sure he was actually awake and not dreaming/dreading/sleep walking. He grunted a few times she gave him water and answered about the current predicament without him needing to ask. She understood and he relaxed. He asked trivial questions and she answered how much she knew. She also hinted him that maybe sasuke is his relative in some twisted sort off way, this was off charts for her but considering the pathetic social behavior of sasuke and the guarded personality of the other she had to do something. Sasuke barged in and he looked in an impasse whether to demand or thank.
Her lips parted and closed trying to catch any understandable yet situation appropriate phrases that would melt the tension in the atmosphere.
"Where are you from?" Sasuke asked which came off more like threatened. The said man cooked his head in an attempt to figure out where exactly the voice came from. He seemed hesitant, his flinched were an aftermath of pain and distrust.
"Ano..you can trust us." She intercepted.
"I don't have a choice not to." Though he was unconscious he was now well and he remembered who nursed him back to health. He was prideful but grateful as well. "Natsume..I go by Natsume." He grit his teeth as if avoiding his own name. "I come around the plateaus."
It was hinata turns to feel confused. She was unsure if the geographic books had mention of plateaus. "It's a place similar to Shijima. It's not under any authority though it claims to be but is a neutral land for trade, with black market for people all around the world. No rules remain as such you can cheat til you are caught, if you are cheated on you are the loser." Sasuke gave insights to Hinata who sat innocently with an 'oh' on her face. "You are an Uchiha." In an ambivalent tone he added.
"What is that?" Natsume counter questioned.
"You have the Sharingan and yet you question about the Uchihas." He didn't know whether he was enraged or hurt but his eyes shined with blood.
"Sharin..Gan. Do you mean the eyes?" He licked his lips to overcome the irresolute voice that came from him. "Mother had it and she told me never to use it. I..I don't know how this works. It turns itself on before I'm aware. "
"Who is your Mother?" Sasuke racked his brain to remember any Uchiha that escaped before the massacre. At the feeble age of 7 he hardly remembered his own certainties but he tried.
"Sorena Tsu. She never told me about her side of the family. We lived with our father till 5 years before he sold both my sister and mother. I left that cursed place to find about them but that was all." His heartbeat increased the palpitation of dread that resurfaced. He grit his teeth.
Sorena. I don't remember anyone. "You need to be detailed."
"I don't exactly remember much. My father traded forbidden forsaken seals and looted equipments, we were rich. My mother had those red eyes which she told was a secret. I loved my mother and complied with her. When she was pregnant with my sister father was paralysed. My memory are hazy around them but I think we went to Kumo when I was around 8 years. I had those eyes ever since then. "
"Kumo..?" Hinata mused. "Did your Mother work there?"
"My father was bed ridden and we were advised to stay away so we went with mother to kumo. I don't know the details or anything of that but as I had those red eyes we reshifted back to father who seemed better than before. I never had issues with it until she was taken. I was left alone wandering and it would activate itself suddenly. "
"How old are you now?" Sasuke asked in a tone of urgency.
"21. I think. " The shrugging of his shoulders conveyed how wary he was of the entire situation.
"When you were 8, when I was 7, when the massacre happened!" He tensed with the reminisce of the past that still ached. "Something doesn't seem right. " He mumbled.
"I..Ryakuza..you asked me about it. What do you know about it?" He reshifted. Placidly tugging the band on his eyes. He breached what he seemed to remember. "They have my mom and sister. I want them back."
Sasuke stared uncertain of his answers and of others. Hinata intercepted yet again. "Natsume San do you know how shinobi works?"
"Y-yes. " He felt insecure. "In Kumo, I was enrolled in an academy. I knew the basics but the second year itself I was withdrawn because of the erm….Sharingan. "
"We are from konoha, the land of fire. We work for the Hokage. Sasuke has a mission in which he needs to investigate about Ryakuza l-I think. " Hinata frowned upon her meagre knowledge. She was so absorbed in medicine these past days she forgot the reason she was here, forcefully.
"Oh. " He looked guilty. "It's not ryakuza. They're a huge association under the fake impression of Ryakuza. Nations don't probe because they are considered as people who simply do riots and struggle for rights. It's actually more complicated than that. " His fingers shot up to his temple for a light massage. "In the plateaus things have been going relentless, a neutral land now worships a single lord who is said to bring greater good. I don't fucking know how swindler vagabonds are now united. My father became one of them and sold both my mother and sister to the greater lord. What not, I escaped. Same with many other veteran traders. "
"You didn't tell us this before." Sasuke remarked and he visibly tensed. "You want us to help you." The nod confirmed it.
Frustrated he ran his fingers along his scalp, massaging the growing headache.
'He found an Uchiha in all the wrong ways and nothing just makes sense now. He was supposed to be on a discreet mission and get informations to the hokage as soon as be could. Mission. Hah. Someone does have information and if he is going to investigate this issue he should be well prepared. If that guy isn't lying then his mother has a bigger role; his memory holes insisted that much. If he is lying then he is about to be lured in the most ludicrous ways he can imagine. But he was an Uchiha, hinata confirmed it so.
He blinked and looked at her crouching in front of him checking his eyes. Dutifully she applied her knowledge when it was needed.
He groaned. The Hyuga heiress wasn't supposed to be with a rogue ninja in such a shabby place. He was definitely not regretting it. He had been tempted by her a long time ago. If he hadn't been this serious he would have never abducted, forced her in the first place. Now it has been weeks with no trace of her. He would've fucking loved challenged the leaf and dare to find him, bound him then take her away but now with one of his own family in his hands that was a luxury he couldn't afford. No one stood a fucking finger against him in espionage and escapades. He had to tone down his sardonic tendencies for them to get away. He needed the woman to be around him for her exceptional medicinal knowledge and of course to pay back his efforts that he put into kidnapping her. That meant he needed to officially declare her involvement before the leaf.
Leaf. The fucking bullshit leaf.
If that place is incinerated to hell then most of his problems would rot themselves. Maybe he can contribute significantly for that to happen.
"Sasuke. ``Hinata stood in front of him. "Hokage Sama needs to know."
Impassive as ever he glared at her. They were thinking on the same lines. She has acknowledged herself as a part of this as gravely as him. So now he holds his emotions on sleeves.
Great. Fucking great.
29th october; clouds over moon.
Kakashi mulled over ecstatic possibilities that would lead to Sasuke gracing his presence in his office in the middle of the night and interrupting his 'me time' of peaceful book reading. A part of him was relieved to see him- there were certainly a lot of things he currently demanded or requested from him.
"To What do I owe this auspicious visit to?" His voice was nonchalant was ever he leaned into the table.
Sasuke remained Impassive; no snarly remarks or grimace or even a sweet glared. Kakashi smirked. "Oh sasu-chan! You missed me?" Sasuke lips curled into one of disgust but Kakashi was more than happy to elicit that reaction. This kind of bawdy behavior shouldn't be engineered of the Hokage but what can he say, sasu-chan was an exception of course.
"No. " He curtly smashed Kakashi's accusations. He couldn't stall time in here he would otherwise surely lose his shit. Fancy was the idea to ground this cursed place for once and all but fancy was a luxury he couldn't afford. Plus he didn't want Naruto on his ass right now.
"Liar. " Kakashi retorted amused by the behavioral change in him. He looked rushed, he looked as if he wanted to get back to something or someone. "Any news?"
"Ryakuza is a branch of what is growing beyond. They're said to originate from the plateaus. Involvement of villages are as of now uncertain as well as the genjutsu cast. " Sasuke carefully omitted the parts that included rather sensible details like kidnapping the heir of the most influential clan, forcing her to playhouse with him, finding a probable Uchiha after years of the entire family six feet underground and a hope that there might be more. He asked the news not the source anyways.
"The plateaus? How do you get a bunch of buffoon cheaters to cooperate?" Kakashi on his wildest adventures had the liberty to wander in that place a few times. It wasn't too far away in the past but it wasn't recently either. If he wouldn't be outdated that much to mistake them as anything but cooperative. They were more than a bunch of notorious business frauds but always less than shinobi. More importantly they knew a lot of people who were half assessed, untalented and simply lazy to work hard; shinobi but hardly and sold them things that shall be sealed and thrown in a blast furnace.
"For greater good. " Sasuke answered quickly as if expecting such a question. For a while Kakashi was convinced Sasuke found some sort of authenticity ."Or so they say. It's usual. " He clarified but the underlying accusatory tone that placed his blood drenched fingers against konoha was not overlooked by the Hokage. "Manipulate the less naive ones for greater good of self. Pick out weaknesses and probe it till they pluck themselves in their flailing hands. "
The hokage sighed inconspicuously, aware of the vicious circle of power that rotated through and within anyone that had a whiff of it. While he did wanted to berate the past wouldn't that be a little too hypocritic?
Sasuke has always been precise and that is one of the major reasons he was assigned some of the most sensible missions. Konoha in the measure of Shinobi though underwent major losses the hokage at the time of war was practical person to unhinder its ANBU. They were muted, crawling like worms under rock soil under the pretense that summer has been cruel. But people often forget worms are necessary for crops to grow, for the soil to become fertile again. The reason for Konoha's quick recovery mostly lay upon those worms. It was hesitant at first but slowly Kakashi let Sasuke take over classified behests much to unawareness of the council. Council was getting old. Senile must remain senile.
His subsequent success at those really riled the shadows. There were echoes of an Uchiha claiming its rightful place after the departure of Itachi. Itachi laid quite an impression throughout his brief career, some of his peers were still awe struck. The shadows were a serene place for sinners. It didn't matter how much sin you did in the light in the shadows, the melancholy is collective.
He had for the longest time wanted for Sasuke to be in the shadows devouring demons as he stretched his wings but little did he know Sasuke was the shadow itself.
Regardless of his musings Kakashi caught an air of restlessness and he was positive Sasuke was hiding something. "Anything else?"
"I will be involving some people." The best course of action was to keep Kakashi out of the situation. Once he gains some leverage he would surely act upon it as a fellow loyal shinobi of konoha. Thanks Itachi. He cursed.
Kakashi stared at him. It was odd of him to involve people. He preached what was called Solo but impeccable work. "Do you need the konoha forces?"
"No. " As far as Sasuke was concerned they were useless. Right now because of how absurdly stupid the situation was he needed people who can actually contribute without being an absolute burden.
Kakashi nodded. He pulled out a bag of money with coins and notes and tossed it to him. "You'll need it." He murmured. Sasuke accepted. He would in fact need that and more for 3 people. "Try keeping me updated Sasuke. I've a village to answer."
"Hn. " He swiftly turned around, his rinnegan flared to life as the atmosphere twisted itself into void. The intensity was crazy and all the loosely held paperworks flew around. One caught the Hokage's eyes.
"Sasuke!" He called. "I've another mission for you. Find Hinata hyuga and report me as fast as you can!" He ushered before he entered the portal. Surprisingly Sasuke halted to look back at the Hokage with his mismatched eyes leaking malice around the situation seemed less than ideal.
"She's with me." His voice though distant and murmured, Kakashi heard it loud and clear. He realised a terrified sigh as Sasuke faded into the portal. The paperworks that were swirling like tornadoes rested easy atop the floors but their beholder was not a bit the same. He leaned back at the chair closing his eyes for a brief coolness that would nestle just a split moment. He understood why the fifth had a constant need of alcohol during her work hours and after. Begrudgingly he reached to a drawer neatly locked and took a rather exotic version of Sake, it was a gift from the previous leader after all it ought to cone to use; now or later. A headache tumbled inside him with waves that would probably leave everything scrambled. He quietly watched the unfurling of the burning liquid down his throat as he chugged in shots; his eyes focusing and not.
1st November; winter hurry.
"Ugnnnnhhhh—s-sasuke!" Hinata moaned as Sasuke sucked on the nape of her neck, occasionally biting and licking. He had her hands pinned to the bed straddling her legs as he was placed between her thighs.
She wondered how they ended up like this. Oh she wondered.
One moment they were planning to leave this place, continue with their mission and the next they were tangled as heaps of rabbit in heat.
"That's e-enough!" Her body wriggled uncomfortably of the heat that was pooling between her legs.
It was a bad idea after all. How did they end up like this? After 3 days of natsume-San waking up they were leaving this place for once and all. Their apparent 'honeymoon' was over and before the people got suspicious they needed to get going. Last three days they spent mostly on recuperating Natsume-san's chakra control so at the very least he'd be able to travel with them. His eyes were restfully healing themselves- for precautions they applied salve every night. The use of Sharingan was banned for the further time being and amidst those things they totally forgot they needed to make an appearance outside of the room. While developing the medical jutsu they send clones so it wouldn't seem weird how they disappeared all of sudden. The realization set in a little late and as married couples the only plausible explanation was they were busy doing 'stuff'. But because they were much too paranoid they needed to make their point obvious. After Sasuke safely delivered natsume San to his cave since he wanted to rummage around for any valuables he might have he returned with this downright stupid idea of hickeys.
Hinata hated the fact that it was their only way. She neither agreed nor denied so Sasuke had to be forceful.
That is exactly why they were rolling in teenage hormones. Hinata thought one should be fine but after multiple she doubts Sasuke even realizes it was just for show. Consciously she counted up to 4 hickeys then it went waywair. In an attempt to stop him she rolled on top of him that somehow ended up for her in giving him hickeys. She couldn't remember the exact conversation they had, at the end it would be more justifiable if he had some too. Reluctantly she lowered herself to Suck on his neck. She was clumsily, plain awkward because obviously she wasn't a professional in this field unlike a certain someone who had experiences of his life.
