The Queen of Masks [Sakura Haruno Story]

4

"What should we do about this? She could be putting the whole village in danger by just living here." Danzo stated angrily. Koharu and Homura nodded, both showing that they agreed with Danzo.

There was a girl whom the Queen of Masks had shown interest in, living in his village, and Hiruzen, the Hokage, refused to do anything about it.

"Just because the Queen has shown interest in her doesn't mean she'll put the village in danger. And the girl is not a criminal, so we can't imprison or banish her, Danzo, calm down." Hiruzen tried to reason with his old friend. "Anyways, maybe the Queen doesn't want us to do anything about it, and if we do something she doesn't like, we'll be the ones endangering the village."

"So we're just not going to do anything about it?" Danzo was outraged.

"That would probably be a good idea, wouldn't it now?" A quiet voice said from behind him.

"And just who are yo-" Danzo whirled around only to pale slightly. "My apologies, Queen. Please forgive me."

Cool blue eyes bore down on Danzo's bowing figure though the holes in her mask. The Queen was sitting cross legged on the window sill of the council's meeting room, leaning against the frame in a carefree manner.

"I'll let it pass for now, but hear me out. If you lay one finger on Sakura's pink haired head, well, you might have well just dug your own grave. I don't care how many Anbu I have to get through," she glared at Danzo, "I will find you, and I will make you pay for hurting my student."

The council's eyes widened. Student?

"Of course." Danzo replied with another bow. He hated not being in charge. But Danzo Shimura was not a stupid man, he knew when and when not to argue. And this was one of the rare moments when he kept his mouth shut and obeyed.

No one will ever touch Sakura if she had a teacher and protector like the Queen.
