Yuki woke up to something tapping on her window.
Yuki sat up, and saw a black raven sitting on her windowsill.
"Raven?" Yuki asked.
"Hurry up. The little princess needs our 'help' too", Tatsuya told the raven.
The raven's eyes glowed red, and it appeared on Yuki's bed:
"You have good friends, but besides them there is another one who can help you teach Haruno Sakura a little lesson. Namely Karasuma Tatsuya".
"Does he know about my father?" Yuki asked.
"Sure, little one. Tatsuya is a ninja. He can help you", Raven said.
"Fine", Yuki said, even though her mother had forbidden her to talk to strangers.
The raven landed on Yuki's shoulder, and the two disappeared, appearing in the dark mansion's living room.
"Little one, meet the one and only, Karasuma Tatsuya", Raven said looking at the man sitting in one of the chairs.
"You're welcome little one. Don't be shy, sit down of course", Tatsuya said pointing to a small stool.
"Thank you", Yuki said sitting down. "I hear you know about my father. A woman was causing trouble for my parents. It made me feel really bad".
"Oh. Everyone has had their heart broken at some point. Believe it. I know how you feel right now. In order to help your parents, you need to meet one Aikawa Shokora to find out the secret of the woman who caused the trouble. Shokora is a witch, and her wish-granting chocolate is what you need right now chocolate. He lives in Chocolate Noir. My assistant will lead you there", Tatsuya said.
Yuki stood up curiously, and appeared with a raven at the front doors of Chocolate Noir.
Yuki rang the mansion's doorbell and Shokora opened the door, letting Yuki in, closing the door:
"Welcome to Chocolate Noir, a chocolate shop that makes wishes come true. I'm shopkeeper Aikawa Shokora. What's your wish?"
"A certain Haruno Sakura caused trouble for my parents. I want to know why so I can make amends between my parents", Yuki said.
"I see. Here's a Chocolate Fondu with the truth reflected on its surface", Shokora looked at the bowl of runny chocolate on the table. Shokora gave Yuki a marshmallow attached to a fork, and placed the bowl in front of Yuki, bending down at the same time. "However, I will take something important to you as payment. My chocolates are expensive".
"I don't care", Yuki said, and dunked the marshmallow into the Fondue, and ate the marshmallow to see Sakura, who was spying on Minako and Sasuke on a date, reflected in the Fondue.
"Enjoy it while you can because with Sasuke's help I will become the most famous girl in Konoha", Sakura said with a wicked grin.
Then a picture of Sakura stealing chocolates from Shokora's shop appeared on Fobdu's surface, and ate some of those chocolates, but her hair broke off, and fell on the floor of the shop. He then stood in front of Sasuke and Sasuke's memories were erased and he passed out.
Then a picture of Sakura stealing the box and its key from the Hokage's tower safe appeared on Fondu's surface.
"Is it because of popularity that Sakura caused trouble for my parents?" Yuki asked.
"Looks like it", Shokora put Fondu back on the table.
"Thank you, but what about the price?" Yuki asked.
"I always take the commission after the customer's wish has come true", Shokora said.
"Alright. I'll be back later", Yuki disappeared with the raven, appearing at Tatsuya's mansion.
"I guess you found out the truth", Tatsuya said. "Now it's my turn to help you".
"You won't remember what you're doing with the help you got from me", Tatsuya moved his hands making hand signs and Yuki turned into a grown woman looking like she was 22 years old.
Yuki was tall and thin. Her hair was longer now, reaching down to her hips. He was wearing a black and red blouse, and black pants, and black boots.
"You need your mother's necklace to be stealthy. You are now Lady Akuma, and you can begin your revenge", Tatsuya said.
"Yes", Yuki disappeared from the room with the raven surrounded by dark energy appearing in her room. He went to his mother's room, and kissed his mother on the forehead:
"I'm sorry mom. I'm doing this for our family".
Yuki took her mother's necklace, and went to the portal room. He opened a portal, and went through it, turning into mermaids as the raven turned into a small fish. They started swimming towards Konoha with the fish showing Yuki the way.
Arriving near Konoha's shore, Yuki and the fish hid behind a large rock on the surface of the sea.
Yuki grabbed the rock, looking cautiously at the beach.
There was a party on the beach where Sakura and Sasuke were too.
"That's where the troublemaker is. Let's make the party more fun", Yuki slapped the seawater on Sakura's neck with her tail.
"Yeeek!" Sakura screamed in shock after getting cold water on her neck. He looked back without seeing anything abnormal though.
"Don't think I'm done yet", Yuki grumbled, and threw foul-smelling seaweed at Sakura.
"Yeeek!" Sakura screamed in shock again, and again saw nothing abnormal.
"Hah!" Some laughed at Sakura.
"Do you think this is funny?!" Sakura yelled angrily.
Yuki glanced at the crab walking on the beach, and sent the thought of pinching Sakura's butt into its mind.
The crab walked towards Sakura's back, jumped up high, and pinched Sakura from behind.
"Yeeek!" Sakura screamed in pain, turned around, and punched Sasuke in the nose so that Sasuke fell on his backside to the ground holding his bloody nose.
"What?!" Sakura was surprised when she thought some guy had pinched Sakura from behind, but instead of being surprised, she saw that he had hit Sasuke.
The crab released his grip on Sakura, and then jumped into the water.
"Looks like it was just a crab", Sakura said after seeing the crab.
Yuki saw a nearby cannon, and sent the thought to the party host.
"Then it's the turn of the comical part of the party. One of our guests will be shot with a cannon into that pile of cottage cheese", The party host announced, pointing to the pile of cottage cheese in a nearby bouncy castle.
"As the host of the evening, I will choose our cannon ball. Haruno Sakura can be our cannon ball", The host of the party announced.
"What?!" Sakura cried out in shock. A green helmet was put on her head and she was pushed into a cannon which was fired and Sakura was shot into a pile of moldy cheese on the bouncy castle.
"Disgusting smell!" Sakura shouted crawling out of the smelly pile of cheese.
"This is still going on. Place our cannon balls under that high-hanging barrel", Master of the night announced, and his subordinates obeyed him.
The barrel was turned over, and more foul-smelling algae was poured over Sakura.
"Yeeek!" Sakura started to cry.
"Just right for him. I'm going back home now", Yuki started swimming with the fish towards the sea kingdom of Uzuchiocakure.
Once there, he passed through the portal of the portal room, turned back into a human. Took his mother's jewelry from the portal, and closed the portal. Then he turned back to his normal age.
"Why am I here? Mom's jewelry? Ugh. I'm going to sleep", Yuki mumbled going to her room. She put the jewelry on her bedside table, and then went to sleep.
"What exactly was the raven with that girl?" Shokora thought. He had felt an evil energy in that lorp.
"I have a bad feeling. Best to warn Tsunade-sama", Shokora said as she began to write a letter to Tsunade.
"Morning, mom. I'd like you to take me with you to meet Sakura to steal the people from the list?" Haruka asked.
"Fine", Tsunade said.
Tsunade put on the Hokage coat and hat that symbolized the leader:
"Let's go".
They stood at the door leading to the conference room, Kakashi was there in his Shinobi uniform waiting for them.
Tsunade closed her eyes and breathed in and out for nerves.
"Good morning Kakashi. Are you ready?" Tsunade asked as her hand was on the doorknob.
"Yes. Who is the first man on the list stolen from you?" Kakashi asked.
"Suzuki Masamune, he is the first son of the first minister of Hi no Kuni's. His father has a lot of influence and many women like Masamune".
"The second person on the list is Kurosaki Tatewaki. His father runs Konoha's bank", Kakashi said.
"I understand banker's I met a few but some both nice and some got on my nerves", Tsunade said.
"Alright. The fourth person on the list is Haneda Subaru, son of the Lord of Hi no Kuni's. He has plenty of admirers, but he's a little fickle", Kakashi said.
Tsunade nodded
"Who do we meet first?" Haruka asked her mother.
"Kakashi, who would you recommend seeing first? I really don't want to make a mistake here", Tsunade said.
"How about Tatewaki?" Kakashi asked.
"Alright, let's go", Tsunade said.
Haruka sat with her mother and Kakashi at the table as Tatewaki walked over to sit at the table after hearing his name.
"Good day, Godaime Hokage-sama. Why did you ask me to come to this meeting?" Tatewaki asked.
"The reason I asked for this meeting is because Sakura has committed crimes by stealing from both me and the chocolate noir shop owner", Tsunade said. "He stole a safe from the Hokage's tower and we suspected he was going to sell it. Sakura is not allowed to sell what's inside the safe. She said in a calm voice".
"Is he influential?" Tatewaki asked.
"Impressive? He's a Shinobi born in this village and where he grew up", Tsunade said. "He's barely of age. He's not royal blood, or related to the Hokage. The only effect he has is using certain chocolate candies he stole from Chocolate Noir to get what he wants, but for every chocolate he doesn't know he still has to pay a price for every chocolate he eats, which he stole from Chocolate Noir".
"I see. In other words, you suspect he's up to something sinister", Tatewaki said.
"Yes", Tsunade said.
"What do you think he's up to?" Tatewaki asked.
"My daughter Haruka has a recording of it", Tsunade said.
"Haruka do you have the recording with you?"
Haruka nodded.
"Based on Haruka's research, we initially suspected that Sakura was planning to sell the product to the Daimio. Daimio-sama, you guys had a meeting after Pain's attack while I was in a coma. Daimio-sama you suggested that you wait for me to wake up", Tsunade said.
The Daimio nodded.
"Yes. The recording is here", Haruka said handing the recording to her mother. Tsunade put on the recording and played it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
"So he wants fame. What are you going to do about it?" Tatewaki asked.
"I'm currently taking steps to make sure this plan doesn't happen", Tsunade said. "Has Sakura contacted you recently?"
"He has been sending us flattering letters for the past year", Tatewaki said.
"Pretend to carry on with what you're doing, but if he wants to meet and sell you the safe, do whatever it takes to either buy it and bring it back here, or continue the problem until we get what we need", Tsunade said.
"Alright. We'll be careful. What about Sakura?" Tatewaki asked.
"We're spying on him now", Kakashi said.
"He has broken our trust and betrayed us as we were his teachers, I will call everyone in the village and tell them after the meeting what happened today", Tsunade said.
"Good thing", Tatewaki said.
"So we agree on that?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes. I speak for everyone", Tatewaki said looking at all the men who nodded at him.
"Then this meeting is over, thank you for coming sir", Tsunade said.
"Please", Tatewaki said starting from the room with the other men.
"I'm glad the meeting went as you expected", Haruka told her mother.
"Yeah I think so too. Who's next Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.
"Well we've already talked to all the men on the list Sakura stole. I mentioned that I heard that Sakura wanted one of them as her husband to become famous. You should write a letter to the warden of Hozuki Prison about a possible new inmate coming there", Kakashi said.
"I'll do that thing. Is that man here the one who wanted to wait for me to wake up from the coma I was in after Pain's attacked Konoha?" Tsunade asked.
"It is. He wanted you to wake up so you wouldn't be nominated for the job of Deputy Hokage, because no one is a better Hokage than you. He is your supporter", Kakashi said.
Tsunade smiled
"Thank you for warning the recent men of Sakura's actions", Hi no Kuni's Daimon said as he entered the room.
"Please", Tsunade said.
"I understand that your student's betrayal angers you, but it could have caused a major disaster that he could have controlled. How did you get your hands on that tape, or did you set a trap for your student?" The Daimio asked.
Tsunade, Kakashi, and Haurka's eyes twitched at this.
"Treason is not the word I would use, sir. It's more of a devious plot, and yes, I agree that it would have caused a huge problem if that theft hadn't been discovered. And how's that going with you?" Tsunade asked.
"One of the men on the list you just mentioned is my own cousin, so in that sense it applies to me", Daimio said. "My relative may be a bit fickle with women, but I really care about him".
"We set a trap for Sakura to expose her plot", Haruka said.
"It worked", Kakashi said.
"You made an exemplary trap. Did stealing that list you mentioned earlier make you suspicious of Sakura?" Daimio asked.
"We all thought Sakura was innocent, but because of what happened we no longer believe she is innocent, her behavior is deplorable" Tsunade said. "I don't know what else to say".
"I do know what to say. Sakura was blinded by her lust for fame", Haruka said.
Tsunade whispered through gritted teeth just loud enough for only Kakashi, and Haruka:
"This is getting on my nerves". Then she said out loud "I honestly didn't know when she started changing or if it was always like this, but Haruka is right. Daimio-sama, what do you think of Sakura?"
"I was just wondering if he was once in the same group with Uzumaki Minako and Uchiha Sasuke", Daimio said.
"Yes it was, but why did you ask?" Tsunade asked.
"Perhaps at some point he became envious of the fame of his fellow soldiers", Daimio said.
"Ah thanks. No man her age has a crush on her anymore, and one of them is in the hospital after being attacked by Sakura. No one in Konoha really wants to be her friend, or her boyfriend", Tsunade said.
"Clear. Will his future imprisonment last long?" Daimio asked.
"Haruka recommended a month. However, I am so angry and mad at him that I ordered 3 months worth", Tsunade said.
"It is a fitting decision", Daimio said.
Tsunade was surprised by this but didn't show it:
"I don't know if it will change him for the better. This is one punishment I have imposed. If it doesn't, I'm sure there is another form of punishment".
"What is that other option? Banishment from Konoha, or life imprisonment?" Daimio asked.
"He stole chocolate from Chocolate Noir. Sakura didn't notice, that there would be a price to pay for eating the chocolate there, but it's going to be a rude awakening", Tsunade said. "I had helped the owner of the chocolate noir shop, so he owed me, but I consider him a good friend".
Both Kakashi and Haruka looked at Tsunade.
"It's great that you like the merchant in question as a friend, but what about the answer to the latter right?" Daimio asked.
"If I tell you, I need your word and promise as an honest and honorable man?" Both Kakashi and Haruka were literally next to Tsunade when this was said.
"I promise you will have my full support in making this decision", Daimio said.
"This place I'm going to say is classified only by a hand full of people who know and are sworn to secrecy", Tsunade said.
"Good on. What kind of cause the place manager is?" Daimio asked.
"Minako and her children are in her ancestral home, Uzuchiogakure Minako decided to rebuild it. The reason why he decided to do so was because he felt heartbroken and was betrayed by both Sakura and Sasuke, the man he loved. He asked to have his memories of them erased by taking his daughter with him and yes the child is Sasuke Uchiha's daughter. That place is...He went to whisper in her ear "Merpeople", Tsunade said.
"I can well understand that it was a difficult time for Minako", Daimio said, and long ago:
"The secret is safe".
"Both me, Haruka, Minako and her children are descendants of the royal bloodline, Minako decided to move out of the village. We are their allies, there is one man I really don't trust. His name is Shimura Danzo, I wouldn't put it past him to try them out", Tsunade said. "Thank you".
Tsunade turned around with a small smile.
"Daimio-sama, you are now an ally of the knowledgeable. If someone found out and confronts you about it, message me ok?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, but isn't Danzo now in exile for his crimes?" The Daimio asked.
"Yes, but still can't be careful who knows who's listening", Tsunade said.
"You are right. Do I suggest putting Danzo on a wanted list?" Daimio asked.
"It would be wise to do so, but I cannot force you, forewarned is armed", Tsunade said.
"Clear. I warn you, but Hi no Kuni's influential people Danzo buy", Daimio said.
"I can see that being smart help, Daimio-sama thank you very much with the other men in the room. I plan to visit the owner of chocolat noir, would you like to meet him?" Tsunade asked.
I can't answer. And I have already resorted to his help once, said the Daimio. I wanted to spend time with my cousin, but I was in a hurry. The product I got from Shokora gave me and my cousin an hour together. The price was our distance from each other", Daimio said.
"I see. So you have already met well", Tsunade said.
"Yes", Daimio said starting from the room with the other men.
"It was a pleasure to meet the Daimio. He said offering his hand for a shake Likewise. Be careful dan after this", Daimio said shaking Tsunade's hand.
Tsunade nodded.
"I hope we can work together in the future", Tsunade said to the Daimio.
"Our work too", Daimio said.
"I meant the future", Tsunade said th Kakashi and Haruka saw and smirked.
"Great. See you again", Daimio said.
Tsunade nodded.
When the men had left the room, Haruka looked at her mother:
"The meeting went better than we expected".
"Yes, I'm glad it happened. Ok, are there any other meetings today?" Tsunad asked.
"It's not. I'll continue spying on Sakura now", Haruka left for the mission.
(Later)
"Tsunade-sama, you received two letters", Shizune placed the letters on Tsunade's desk.
The second letter is from Tsunade's daughter no, and the other is from Shokora.
Tsunade opened her daughter's letter.
"Mom, last night there was a party on the beach, and something special, but also amusing, is happening. Suddenly, cold water splashed on Sakura's neck, so someone threw foul-smelling seaweed on Sakura. The crab then pinched Sakura's rear. He thought he knew some guy was touching Sakura's rear, so he wanted to hit the doctor, he punched Sasuke in the nose, breaking Sasuke's nose. Sakura was then used as a cannonball and shot into a pile of blue cheese on a bouncy castle. Then a barrel of foul-smelling seaweed was poured over her, after which she began to cry", Haruka's letter read.
Tsunade read the letter out loud for Kakashi to hear.
They both laughed at what happened to Sakura, even though everything sounded suspicious, she told Kakashi that she was suspicious. He opened another letter
"Yuki came to visit last night. He ate a marshmallow dipped in Chocolate Fondue and found out that Sakura used my chocolate to become known as Sasuke. Yuki had a raven with him. When he left, I thought about the evil energy in that Korp, and I wrote this letter to you, my regards, Aikawa Shokora", The letter read.
Tsunade read the letter out loud for Kakashi to hear, his reaction was the same as hers.
"What exactly is that raven?" Kakashi asked.
"That raven doesn't belong to any of our allies, at least as far as I know. Kakashi gets Shizune, Rock Lee and Shikamaru", Tsunade said
"Sure. Just a moment", Kakashi said starting from the room.
"Who could throw Sakura a foul-smelling broad?" Shizune asked asked Tonton in her arms.
"I have a suspicion who but I need to verify or confirm it first", Tsunade said.
"Clear. How do we work?" Shizune asked as Kakashi and the others entered the room.
Tsunade wrote a thank you letter to both Haruka and Aikawa Shokora for giving the information. After finishing he handed the letters to Shizune:
"These are thank you senders. Please send them a thank you".
"Sure", Shizune said starting from the room.
"What happened?" Shikamaru asked.
"Someone is using Minako's daughter Yuki for something, Chocolate Noir owner Aikawa Shokora said that Yuki was a raven with him. As she left, Shokora thought about the bad energy in that raven and wrote this letter. Not only that, there was a party on the beach last night and something special but amusing happened there. Suddenly, cold water splashed on Sakura's neck, so someone threw foul-smelling algae at Sakura. The crab then squeezed Sakura's buttocks. He must have thought some guy touched Sakura's rear so he tried to punch the doctor but hit Sasuke in the nose breaking Sasuke's nose. Then he was used as a cannonball and shot into a pile of moldy cheese in a bouncy castle. Then a barrel of foul-smelling algae was poured over her, after which she began to cry, Haruka's letter read. I can't help but feel that these are tied together, you and your current team I will send you to follow, spy and intervene if necessary, Yuki must be protected, we can't come into conflict with the Merpeople because we couldn't keep her safe. Yuki wants to restore her father's memories, but something is wrong with this situation. Promise me that neither of them will be killed", Tsunade said.
"Sure," Shikamaru said. "Kiba was at yesterday's party, and saw Sakura remark. Kiba found it quite amusing and he even said it was fine for a shallow girl like Sakura".
Tsunade nodded:
"Whoever uses Yuki must be stopped".
"I can't say", Shizune said.
"Sure, but first we need to do a background investigation after finding some leads on the matter", Kakashi said. "Isn't Fukagu still alive haters?"
Tsunade went through some papers:
"Shizune help me find the information that was just asked for. I know it's in this office".
"Sure", Shizune said.
Tsunade noticed the Uchiha papers and looked through them just to make sure she didn't miss anything.
"Who brings Karasuma on?" Kakashi asked after seeing a name on one of the papers.
"Karasuma used to be one of the clans because of what my uncle told me, and one of them had a grudge against Sasuke's father", Shizune said.
"But Sasuke's father is dead", Tsunade and Kakashi put the pieces of the puzzle together then both said at the same time:
"He is going to use Yuki to get Revenge on Uchiha Sasuke because he is the next best option. He will create another Madara this will Destroy both Yuki and Minako", Tsunade said horrified against the wall everyone could see Kakashi must do something for Tsunade here.)
"Calm down", Kakashi said. "It's not certain if this Fukagu hater is going to use Yuki to destroy the village, but it's worth investigating".
"Why would that Karasuma hate Fukagu?" Shikamaru asked.
Tsunade nodded
"I will say one thing. Sasuke is not my best friend. I don't even like her, but I'm helping her get back to her normal self because of Minako, because Minako is my friend", Shikamaru said.
"I would expect nothing less from you Shikamaru", Tsunade said.
"Let's start making a plan. A good start is to monitor Konoha for suspicious incidents", Shikamaru said.
"That's a good start", Tsunade said.
"Thank you. Now let's talk about the enemy's motive. Why does he hate Sasuke's father so much?" Shikamaru asked.
"Here mostly the name which is Karasuma Tatsuya and he uses some false names", Shizune read the text of one paper.
