Sixteen Point Shuriken Star - Konohagakure ... Pt. 2
“Lady Tsunade.”
“What is it, Kakashi?” Tsunade said, glaring at the three in front of her.
“We may be falling into Orochimaru’s trap… but we’ll need to do so to see his intentions. Assign Erianne Yotomajei work around the village. We will see whether or not she is lying.” Kakashi suggested, keeping a firm grip on Erianne. Tsunade sighed.
“All right.” She glanced at a woman that was standing beside her desk, holding a pink pig. “Shizune.”
“Yes, Lady Tsunade?” A lady with short, black hair and wearing a dark gray robe with dark tan hems and a belt asked, turning her gaze to her. She was silent the entire time, watching closely for signs of dishonesty.
“Get me that file — over there, yes — on the available jobs.”
“Yes, Lady Tsunade!” Shizune dropped the pig, which landed on all fours, and got a folder. She handed Tsunade the folder.
Tsunade looked through the manila colored folder. “Academy… Bakery… grocery…”
“The Academy would be the best place to put her,” Kakashi said. “I don’t think she has the heart to kill children.” Erianne struggled in his grip. He let her go.
“Of course not!” Erianne replied, facing him. “I cannot kill children!”
“Or so, you say…” Kakashi said, glancing at her.
Tsunade looked up from the folder, looking between the two. After a moment’s silence, Tsunade took out a piece of paper from the folder. “Sign this, Yotomajei.”
Erianne turned her head to look at Tsunade and then, with a glare at Kakashi, she walked over and signed the paper. Tsunade took it back and handed it to Shizune.
“Starting today, you are working at the Academy. Since I can’t trust you just yet, I’m assigning someone who will keep an eye on you. Kotetsu-”
“B-but, Lady Tsunade,” Kotetsu interrupted shakily. “I-Izumo and I have an A-rank mission.” Tsunade grumbled, irritated at the interruption.
“All right!” She said suddenly. “Gai, Azuma, and Kurenai are on S-rank missions so, Kakashi! You are assigned to keeping an eye on Erianne.”
“Yes, Lady Tsunade.” Kakashi said. A moment passed.
“Well… dismissed!” Tsunade said angrily. Kotetsu nodded and disappeared. Kakashi walked over and took Erianne by the arm and walked out the door.
Well… that was easier than I thought.
Kakashi and Erianne stood outside the Academy.
“Are we going to be doing anything or will we just be standing here like idiots?” Erianne muttered, staring at the ground.
“It seems the school is closed today.” Kakashi said in response.
“Kakashi-sensei!” A happy voice called. Erianne looked up and saw a boy dressed in a bright orange outfit. He had yellow hair and bright blue eyes. The sight made Erianne’s eyes burn. “Kakashi-sensei!”
Kakashi, too, looked up. “Good morning, Naruto.”
“Kakashi-sensei… who’s that?” Naruto asked, looking at Erianne up and down. His gaze rested below her neck. Unfortunately for him, Erianne saw this. Before she could hit him, Kakashi grabbed her rising hand. She turned her head, glaring at him.
“This is Erianne Yotomajei,” Kakashi told Naruto, ignoring Erianne’s glare.
“Oh!” Naruto said, looking back at Erianne. “Morning! I’m Naruto Uzumaki!” Erianne didn’t reply. She had cast her glance in a different direction. “Ya know, Kakashi-sensei,” Naruto said. “Your girlfriend’s kinda mean.”
Kakashi sighed, releasing Erianne’s hand. Before Erianne could react to Naruto’s comment, Kakashi said, “I’m here to keep an eye on you, Erianne Yotomajei. One mistake and Tsunade will know that you haven’t really left Orochimaru.”
Naruto’s face darkened and he stared at Erianne, who glared at Kakashi. “You work for… Orochimaru?”
“Used to,” Erianne corrected, remembering her mission. Naruto’s face brightened a little.
“Was Sasuke with him!?”
“Sasuke?” Erianne asked, a little surprised. She didn’t know a Sasuke.
“Yeah! Sasuke Uchiha!” Naruto asked.
“Hey, Naruto…” Kakashi was saying.
“Sorry. I do not know Sasuke Uchiha.” Erianne shrugged. Naruto’s face fell.
“Oh.” He sighed. “Well… I was heading over to the ramen shop. Do you guys wanna come?” He smiled brightly.
“Uh… I’d rather not…” Erianne said. However, Kakashi pushed her forward a little. She glared at him, again, in the corner of her eye.
“Why not?” Kakashi said, ignoring Erianne’s first statement. Naruto grinned and started walking towards the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
