Haruno Ryoko

-6.old men going senile

The hokage spluttered, the day(actually night) just kept getting weirder and weirder. First, Naruto had come barging in the middle of the night screaming about the ghost of the second hokage.

At first, he had thought that Naruto just had a nightmare or something. But then Naruto started saying things that he had absolutely no way of knowing. Like his sensei's homicidal tendencies towards the Uchihas and the embarrassing nickname his sensei had for him and his teammates.

A chill had ran down the hokage spine. Maybe Naruto was actually telling the truth? Just then the security bell started ringing. The hokage's office

He told Naruto to stay where he was and rushed towards the hokage office. Today of all days? Just today he had given the anbus a holiday and now this was happening.

The hokage's office was completely empty. Everything was where it was before.

Maybe it was that cat again? he wondered.

Sighing, he called for Naruto and told him to stay the night in the guest room after listening to him blabber for several more minutes. He had to admit, this was all very creepy. He had never expected to hear these things from somebody.

After several more minutes of reminiscing he decided to visit his sensei's pride and joy. The forbidden jutsus he had created.

He stood up and opened the secret trapdoor in the floor by the false brick in the wall.

Immediately he knew, something was wrong. There was another presence down there. He summoned his staff and threw it at the presence, jumping down.

"What do you think you are doing?", he asked. "Let go of the scroll right.this.instant"

The sight he was met with was not one he had expected. A small girl who looked no older than three sat on the ground clutching the forbidden scroll and looked on the verge of crying.

She started crying.

Sarutobi didn't believe in hell and demons, but at that moment he though Satan himself had descended. He desperately clutched his ears to block the screaming but it was not enough.

He kneeled to be on level with the child and tried to smile, it came out as a grimace. "Now, now everything is fine, no one's going to hurt you....."he tried.

The crying stopped. Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. Just then Kakashi entered the room, Anbu costume and all.

"Hokage-sama", he began "Are you alright? I heard demonic screeching...." he trailed off assessing the situation in the room.

Sarutobi looked back at the child in front of him, pink hair and green eyes. It was the child Naruto often played with.
"Who are you", he asked softening his voice lest the child start crying once more.

".....Haruno Ryoko", she mumbled.

"And what are you doing here?"

"I fell."

Sarutobi waited for her to elaborate but she went silent. "What were you doing in the Hokage's office?"

".......I walk in my sleep." She answered after a long pause, avoiding his eyes.

He deadpanned. The child was obviously lying. He then saw that the scroll was open. "Why do you have that scroll?"

"I don't know, I do strange things in my sleep." She answered with more confidence now.

Sarutobi sighed again and turned to Kakashi,"Take her to the interrogation room."

Kakashi nodded and picked up the girl who looked at Kakashi with stars in her eye. They left.
