"𝓘 𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓭𝓸𝓷'𝓽 𝓰𝓮𝓽 why we need her. We're notorious. People are practically begging for their lives as soon as they see us. We don't need a woman."


The silent Uchiha looks at the blue man through his dark locks but doesn't say a word, and Hana is left wondering if he really shares his teammate's view (if they even call themselves that) or if he sees some potential in her. She awaits his answer, a bowl of steaming rice in her hands, but when the silence stretches for too long, she gets up and plants herself in front of the shark man.


"You're trying to get him for years with no results. I have insights you clearly don't have that will help you complete your task. And woman or not, you know I can kick your ass."


The man stands up to align his face with hers.


"I would like to see you try."


His hand twitches on the handle of his giant sword, and a deep growl rumbles in his chest. But unmoved, Hana meets his glare dead on, her hand moving above her shoulder toward her favourite weapon. A sudden grip on her forearm halts her movement, and she glances at Itachi and scowls.


"Stop it. Both of you."


Kisame sits back with a grunt, and after one last glance at the Uchiha's stern expression, Hana drops her arm in defeat and walks away from camp, disappearing through the foliage.


"I'm going to the river. No peeping or I kill you."


She vanishes into darkness without a sound, strips out of her black ninja gear upon meeting the shore, and enters the lukewarm water. The current washes away the blood and sweat coating her body as she lets herself float, face up, staring at the descending moon.


What am I doing here, with them? Was it the right path? Will it all be worth it in the end?


She closes her eyes and lets her worries bubble up to the surface.


Someone else should make a plan for her or draw a precise map with a clear path. Someone like the insufferable Uchiha Sasuke, who she misses more than she would like to admit. Three years together against Orochimaru's minions have changed their dynamic quite a lot, and she's gotten used to following him around.
