Sasuke's twin. [ DISCONTINUED]

Recovering.

A few days after the mission, Hana was finally waking up. Though her stomach was bandaged up and the cuts and scratches on her arms and legs were healing, she was in extreme pain. She thought about the situation over and over, he attacked her. He tried killing his own sister. She then remembered the words Itachi told him back before they found Tsunade.

Itachi told Sasuke in order to activate the mangekyo sharingan, he had to kill his best friend. Hana thought about this over and over again. She had activated it when she was young and didn't kill anyone. She thought the trauma of seeing her parents dead and know her brother killed them activated it. Shrugging and sighing softly, Hana struggled to sit up in the hospital bed.

As soon as she groaned in pain, the door opened and there entered a brown haired male. He moved Hana's pillows behind her to help her sit up, smiling softly at her.

"The Hokage said you were going to be out a few days. Glad to see you're awake and better." He said to Hana as she looked at her hands. She slowly turned her gaze to the man beside her.

"Thank you for helping us, Kankuro.. it's nice to know that you guys are on our side.." Hana smiled softly at him. He chuckled softly before the door opened again, in came a familiar pinkette kunochi.

"Hana, you're finally awake. I'm glad to see you're okay." She smile and set the flowers she bought in the vase next to her bed.

Hana smiled at Sakura before it clicked on her. She struggled to get out of bed, Kankuro and Sakura trying to push her down to keep here there.

"I need to see Naruto!" She glared at them. They slowly pulled away as Kankuro helped the girl out of the bed. She held her stomach in pain as the Sand ninja helped her to Naruto's room.

His room was only a few doors down from hers. Hana slowly opened the door and there sat Naruto in the bed, staring blankly into space. When he heard the door open, his gaze settled on Hana, staring at her with wide eyes.

"W-what happened to you..?" He asked calmly as the young girl attacked him in a hug. Tears began falling from her eyes as Naruto just held her.

"I'm so glad you're okay! I couldn't imagine losing you.." Hana whispered to her friend. She worried that Naruto wasn't going to make it. After seeing how strong her brother was with the second stage of the curse mark, there was no way that Naruto was going to survive.

"I am.. but what happened to you? Why are you in the hospital?" Naruto looked at the girl worried as she slowly pulled away. Wiping her eyes, she sighed before explaining.

"Shizune and I, along with a team of medical-nin, were following you guys. I left Shizune and the rest of our team to help Shikamaru, Lee, Kiba, Akamaru, Garra, Kankuro and Temari. I went off after you and Sasuke. When I found you guys, he was in his second stage of the curse mark and you were unconscious on the ground... he strikes me with his chidori..."

Hana's eyes filled with tears as Naruto looked at her shocked. He attacked his own sister.. Naruto soon filled with rage as Hana grabbed his hand to calm down.

"We failed at getting him back... but we will try harder next time. We will be strong enough to bring him back." Hana smiled at the boy before he smiled back. Soon, he became his usual enthusiastic self.

"You better believe it! We will bring him back. For you and Sakura." Naruto smiled brightly at her as Hana giggled.

The door to Naruto's room slowly opened as Shikamaru soon came in. He sighed softly at the two.

"I'm glad to see everyone is okay." A small smiles formed on the Nara boys lips. Hana smiled at him before standing up.

"I should head back to my room. I'll see you two around." She waved at the boys before she went back to her hospital room.

~~~~~

A week past and Hana was finally allowed to leave the hospital. Her stomach still hurt her from the impact of the chidori, but she has healed up wonderfully. Right after she changed into her clothing, her tight black ninja pants that stopped just below her knees, the fishnet under stop and the blue crop top with her flak jacket over, she heard a knock at the door.

Shizune knocked on her door before opening it, smiling at her. "Lady Tsunade would like to see you." She said. Hana smiled at her with a quick nod before they both walked from the hospital.

Shizune opened the door to the Hokage's office where Tsunade sat at her desk under piles of paper work. A small giggle exscaped Hana's lips as she saw this but soon walked over to the desk.

"Shizune said you needed to see me?" Hana smiled at the Hokage as she pulled Hana's file out of all the paper work she had. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked up at Hana.

"You will be traveling to Suna with Temari, Kankuro and Gaara. Gaara has requested you to live there will them." Tsunade said to Hana as her eyes widened some.

"What? Why?" She looked at her with a curious expression.

Tsunade folded her hands together and placed them under her chin. "He requested you because he noticed you're a chunin. He also watched you fighting skills during the preliminaries and thought you had a wonderful strategy. He almost thinks you're extremely skilled. They need more chunin, and he was wondering if you'd like to be an academy teacher. I believe he said that Suna was going to try to make an academy thats similar to Us. Since you're Iruka's assistant, you could help teach the studies."

Hana smiled at Tsunade and quickly nodded. "I would love to, Lady Tsunade! Would this always help with our alliance with Suna?" Hana gave her a look as she nodded slowly.

"Yes, it will. We are trying with you first. Sending you over and then in time we will send more of our chunin over, once Gaara reports back to me." Hana nodded as she looked at Tsunade.

"When will I leave?" She slowly started walking towards the door and turns back to look at her.

"Tomorrow morning. Thank you, Hana." Tsunade smiled at her before she left her office and the building. She went to her house and began packing as much as she can fit in her backpack. She made sure she packed extra clothing, all her kunais, senbons, and shurikens.

Hana walked into the living room from her room and stopped at the two family pictures. She scanned over the family picture and smiled some. Then she looked at the picture next to it that was just her and her brothers. She picked up the picture frame and pulled the picture out of it. She folded it up and placed it in a pocket of her backpack. She then placed her pack on the couch and looked at the door.

She smiled some as she thought about leaving. She was doing it to help the villages, and to also help genin-to-be. She loved teaching the children in Iruka's class and to be teaching a class herself, she smiled softly at herself.

She made her way to her room and got ready for bed, heading to her room to sleep, preparing for her journey to Suna.
