"What a drag."

"At least you don't have anyone following you around."

The teen let out an annoyed grumbled. She never did like politics in the first place. Shira would rather deal with things with fist rather than words. After all, it was much faster if she just beat the crap out of her enemies. "Yeah, that'd be really annoying. Anyway, I'll be looking for my brother. See ya, senpai."

Kakashi lazily waved a hand as he dismissed the redhead. Team Seven could catch up in a latter time after the village was repaired. After all, they have all the time in the world now.

The redhead thought she could finally take a break, just like what her mother had insisted. Hell, she wanted to throw herself into her bed and sleep for an entire year. But did the world want that, too? Heck no. Apparently, the world was against her ever since she was born.

One in her position would have thrown herself on her brother's back and snuggled against him. However, instead of doing that, Shira ended up materializing her chakra chains to tie up two ninjas who seemed to be attacking Team Seven.

Her sudden appearance caught everyone by surprise and, of course, the abnormal trio of the team brightened up as soon as they saw that striking crimson hair.

"I was hoping to take a rest, 'ttebane, but here you go attacking my teammates." A yawn escaped the redhead when her demeanor turned deadly in an instant. "What are you here for?"

The pair of fairly tan-skinned ninjas shivered and winced when they felt something whip at their hands, forcing them to release their swords. "You're... You're that ninja who took our master!"

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura collectively blinked and furrowed their eyebrows. Their teammate appeared in the village all on her own. What the hell was that woman talking about?

Annoyed by the woman screaming at her, Shira took a careful glance at them before she realized what village they were affiliated to. "Ah, you're from kumo... then, that means the master you're talking about should be Killer Bee."

"That's right!" The male shouted this time and an irk mark popped on the redhead's forehead at last. "Give back our master!"

"Nee-san, what are those idiots talking about?" Naruto scratched the back of his head as he stepped up beside his sister. "You came back here alone, right?"

"Ah," the redhead grumbled. "Before I came back with Haku, I was dealing with the Akatsuki who tried to take Killer Bee away."

"If that was the case, then this Killer Bee should be a host like this dobe, right?" Sasuke nonchalantly pointed at the blond who returned that with a glare. Sakura sighed and rubbed her temples. "You should clear things up with them, Shira. They suddenly attacked us when we passed by."

"I see," Sai spoke up at last, causing Shira to glance at him. "Since they recognize you, then they mistook you as the primary kidnapper." The redhead narrowed her eyes at him before shrugging her shoulders.

"That's true."

Setting the pair of Kumo nins on the ground with chakra chains still keeping them in place, Shira crouched down in front of them with a bored expression. Behind her, the four other members of Team Seven couldn't help but deadpan at the sight. If they didn't know any better, they would have believed it was Shira who had done something wrong.

"I'll just assume you know me because of the Bingo Book but that doesn't give you the right to attack other ninjas in their own village. What kind of brain do you guys have?" The pair couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. Since they couldn't escape at all, the only thing left to do was... well, talk.
