The Water Girl

Stream

I searched everywhere without being detected. The only place left was the hokage's office. I was in Itachis bedroom and looked for any secret compartment or tunnels. Then I pressed down in his nightstand drawer bottom, revealing a note. The note only said "Due North." I brought out a compass from one of the old wooden drawers and looked for due north. I went into the direction, landing in his closet. I stepped on a loose floorboard, gaining my attention. I quickly pulled the floorboard and found a small tunnel. The tunnel lead to a small study room. I checked inside the desk and found S-class and A-class  scrolls from his past. The last one that was placed was the document that could prove his innocence. I opened the document and gasped. He was a better man than I believed. I turned into the water and slid through the village again. They didn't notice me entering or leaving. I hurried to the cabin and found the team still there.
"I have found the proof." He opened the scroll and read through it. His face showed his rage.
"This isn't true, there is no way he protected me!"
I nodded.
"If you wish master, the one who wrongly gave him the order is trying to control Konoha. Wouldn't it be better to make sure he won't do that to the other shinobis such as your past teammates? I have done research on him and discovered that he has been doing many illegal activities concerning ANBU."  Sasuke glared at me, his eyes bleeding. "He cared for me?"
I nodded. "He wished the best for you and Konoha. I was told to protect you, and you need Konoha. Going back will grant you immunity since you have technically killed three S-class criminals and no civilians. Plus you would be able to clear Masters name and place the one who ordered it in prison or to be executed."
Sasuke thought about it for a moment.
"Fine, however I want you to tell me something of importance," I nodded and bowed don for his request.
"Why did you implant his eyes into me?" I didn't look into the eyes this time.
"Because I was asked to."

We walked the day journey to Konoha. We were given heated vehemence at the ruined gates of Konoha.
"Hn, seems someone attempted to ruin it." I nodded. "Halt! Sasuke Uchiha and Akatsuki you two are under arrest along with the three who accompany you!" A spiky haired man with a bandage on his face yelled at us.
"Relax sir, we came in peace." He scoffed.
"Peace my ass, you just like to look at the village in pieces!" He thrusted a sword in my face.
"Please sir, we have important  information about Uchiha Itachi." He growled and a tall silver haired man placed his hand on the weapon, lowering it.
"Relax, let them speak."
I bowed slightly to the human who allowed us to talk.
"Uchiha Itachi is dead and we have just recently received information that he was innocent." The mans eyes widened and his mouth was obviously agape despite the mask in the way.
We gave him he scroll which he read over.
"This is disconcerting."
That was hardly the word to use and yet appropriate for the situation.
"We will need to confirm its authentication and for now you will be placed in a temporary jail." I nodded while Karin tried to argue.
"How come we have to sleep in a jail!" She yelled at the silver haired man who seemed unconcerned about her. "Precaution Procedures, but since we don't have a jail as of now you will be in a tent guarded 24/7 by top ANBU. Got it?" I quickly replied with an "Understood" and led us to the tent the man was pointing at. I took my cloak off and burned the material in the fire beside the tent. I entered the tent to see a fidgety Karin.
"Wh-what's going to happen now?" I placed my hand on her shoulder. "We wait." While she calmed down a bit I decided to help her.
I made my arm turn into water and into little figures dancing across the room.
"Woah." Since the tent was large enough I got up and turned my entire body into water. Dancing in a small elaborate circle, twirling, and making water show into ribbons. The team looked entranced by the dance. I kept dancing until every one of them has fallen asleep. I sat down and watched the team sleep. That dance was something I haven't done in years. I had practiced that down to the bone, every muscle memory reflex kicking in. My master trained me to do this since the moment I was born. The only time I had used it was...
A guard poked his head through, breaking my thoughts. "We have confirmed the authentication of the scroll."
I nodded and walked out to see the silver male from before. "Sasuke Uchiha is innocent as well." He sighed.
"He has killed Orochimaru, Deidara, and Uchiha Itachi of the Akatsuki. At the time we had no info that Itachi was innocent." I practically yelled at the mans face. He raised his hands up in surrender.
"Look, Thats understandable but Konoha doesn't allow traitors."
I raised my eyebrow.
"Plus the Sharingan would go extinct which Konoha won't allow either. He is legible to stay with practically nothing as punishment." The man rubbed his head.
"Maa, maa. The Hokage would know what to do but I am not her." My face must have shown my concern that the Hokage wasn't here.
"She's comatose." My eyes widened.
"May I see her?" He nodded.
"Don't think you'll get far though, Not even her top student was able to wake her up." He walked me over to a large and heavily armed tent. The Hokage laid in her old state on a slab. I checked her vitals and attempted to heal her, "Shes in a self-induced coma." He shook his head yes silently. I used my water to clear any damage that could have been what kept her from waking up. It was slight but nonetheless when I was done her eyes fluttered open.
"Who turned on the light?" She tried to get up and popped her shoulders.
"Damn that was one uncomfortable sleep."
The man helped his Hokage up. "You had been in a coma for two weeks Tsunade-Sama." She turned to me.
"Kakashi-San who's the weird girl watching me?" I swore I heard groans from outside.
"She's the one who healed you, she brought Uchiha Sasuke back." Her eyes went wide, "How?"
Kakashi looked back to me.
"She just, did."
