The next morning, Kakashi rushes to the hokage building. He opens the door without knocking.

Tsunade: what?! Don’t you know how to knock or at least tell me it’s an emergency?!

Kakashi: you said that ritsu was an excellent ninja, an asset. Then why did you let her go to the manji village? You know there’s nothing to there, other than to observe the borders.

Tsunade: you troublesome couple. She requested it. She said she’ll go even if I didn’t let her. What could I do? If you want her back, persuade her yourself. Now get out!

Kakashi leaves the office and meets tamazuki and hanare on the way.

Tamazuki: going to the manji village?

Kakashi: how’s that your business?

Tamazuki: bring me along.

Hanare: me too.

Kakashi: why?

Tamazuki: I want to know why she left.

Hanare: she saved me, I want to know why she made that decision.

Kakashi: alright then.

 They set off to the manji village. After a few days of travelling, they finally reached the village. The village is unlike the konoha village,a bustling place. The manji village is a quiet place with not much people.

Tamazuki: it shouldn’t be hard to find ritsu for such a quiet town.

Kakashi: I hope so.

They enter a restaurant which seems to be filled with people.

Hanare: waiter! 3 bowls of ramen here please.

‘coming!’

The waiter balances 10 bowls of ramen on the server. The waiter puts 3 bowls on the table.

‘here you go’

Hanare: how you know where we are? It’s as if you know where we are sitting, you never scald us with the bowls of ramen at all.

‘hahahaha…you think I can’t see. But I can.’

Kakashi:this voice… its so familiar. Ritsu? Is it you?

Ritsu puts the server on the floor. Ritsu stares at kakashi’s face in shock.

Ritsu: you guys…! Why are you guys doing here?

Kakashi: we need to talk.

Tamazuki: lets leave them alone. Tamazuki and hanare leaves the restaurant.

Kakashi:why did you leave?

Ritsu: you shouldn’t be here.

Kakashi: answer my question.

Ritsu:[clenches fists] that’s none of your business. Happy now?![ tears are in her eyes but they don’t flow down,she holds it back.]

Everyone in the restaurant  stares at her and then they go back to eating to their own food. Kakashi grabs ritsu by her hand and brings her outside the restaurant. He brings her to a small alley.

Kakashi: what are you talking about?

Ritsu: I told you the last time, I was just using you. Just forget me. I am an evil woman that’s all you have to know and remember.

Kakashi: I’m not letting go of your wrist until you tell me the truth.

Ritsu: why would you want to know? You will die if you knew. Would you still want to know?

Kakashi: yes, I promised to be by your side forever.

Ritsu:[turns her back against Kakashi] I’m cursed as the fortune-teller says. Only there was no fortune-teller like sikshe said. The fortune-teller story was a lie to keep people away from me. I shouldn’t have even thought of being with you or even tamazuki. I’m destined to be alne. Just leave me.

Kakashi: I’ll not go back on my word. Tell me. I promise to protect and I’ll.

Ritsu: as you know my real name is ritsu yagumi. I belong to the yagumi clan. Our clan has a gettai genkai[special justu that only can be used by those of the same family.] this gettai genkai is dangerous, its called the blood monster jutsu. Once this jutsu is used, the user will kill anyone in sight even his loved ones. The user will lose his own consciousness when using that jutsu. At that moment, the user’s chakra, speed, physical strength will boost greatly. At the same time, blood will constantly flow from the user’s eyes. The jutsu will only wear off when the user’s blood bleed dry. This jutsu was invented during the ninja world war 1. It was invented purely for killing.

Kakashi: its ok, you didn’t kill anyone innocent.

Ritsu: you don’t understand. I can’t control myself. I was considered the strongest in my clan before it was wiped out. I started killing when I was 5. I unknowingly used the jutsu when I was pissed off at some kid and killed him in the process. The elders had to put a seal on me to control me from unknowingly using the jutsu again. But even until now, whenever I get too agitated, I would break the seal unknowingly and use that jutsu again. Its only when I become more violent, then the seal will appear again and control e from using the jutsu. I am a monster. You shouldn’t come to close to me. No, don’t come close to me.

Kakashi: its not your fault you were born that way.

Ritsu:Kakashi… but you have seen what I can do. Those teammates that were injured the last time, on the mission with the dragon clan. That was me going out of control.  Are you sure? I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.

Kakashi: don’t worry, when that happens, I’ll seal you up and prevent you from getting out of control. I am the copy ninja. I am sure I have a jutsu that can control you.

Ritsu hugs Kakashi.

Ritsu: I....I....I don't know...

kakashi:trust me.

ritsu:Leaving me alone would probably be better.

kakashi: Then what about konoha?Are you willing to let all that go?

ritsu: I don't want to hurt anyone.

kakashi:Trust me.

ritsu:....Alright then.
