Kakashi: we're sending you back home tomorrow.

Akko ; nee-san will come send me ?

Kakashi: she's a bit occupied. So she can't. But I'm sure she'll send her best wishes.

Akko ; but... I can't return!!! They will want to kill me !!

Kakashi: don't worry. We've made some arrangements for that too.

________________________________

Kakashi; I know you're there.

Tenzo comes down from the roof "Kakashi senpai. You were in Mai senpai's team in the ninja world war ?"

Kakashi: same platoon. We were only in the same team for a while . Another team requested her to be part of theirs so she transferred over. Yondaime always gave her homework so she came over time to time for it. She talks about her team so I know some of them. That's why I recognise the names of the dog tags.

Tenzo: I see. How did that team die ?

Kakashi: now you mentioned... It was after that incident, she had the idea for dog tags.

Tenzo ; so... What happened?

Kakashi:.... Not sure. I was young then. I didn't really care much then.

Tamazuki enters " I found out."

Kakashi: Tamazuki. *Smiles* her team is as reliable as her.

Tamazuki: that baka Mai. Just when she has learned how to lean on us , she decides to pull this stunt. I couldn't just leave her like that.

Kakashi: Tenzo told you everything?

Tamazuki : tenzo's communication seal was open the whole time with me.

Kakashi: just you ?

Tamazuki: Hera and Enjin still has a chance not to be involved.

Tenzo ; he looked for me first. We both didn't believe Mai senpai would do this without proper reason.

Tamazuki: anyway... Her team... At that time...

Flashback ~

" You're... The only one alive...?" The ninja questioned her. This was the wife of the dead ninja.

Minato : please. It's not what she wanted either.

" They... He... Protected you ? Why ? Why are you the only one alive ?"

Minato: she didn't want this either. It's not her fault.

Mai : you want to kill me ? You can... Just... I'm not sure how much that would help...

Minato: mai !!

Mai : I don't know why I survived... It was a fire lightning jutsu... Everyone was burned to a crisp. Like charcoal. Can't even see their faces...

" Then how do you know if that's my husband's body ?!!!"

Mai ; .... I watched them die. Everyone... I was supposed to die. He... Stopped. He said I have potential to be better... Asked me to kill him next time...

" Fire lightning jutsu ?!! You're sure ?!!"

Mai : he asked me to remember his name... Oelo.

End ~

Tamazuki: Oelo died already. In the ninja world war. A fighting junkie. It couldn't be him that she went off the rails for.
