Till The End Of Time

Decisions

Once back to leaf I went straight to the Hokage's office. Both Tsunade and Grandpa were there. "Where have you been young lady!?" I rubbed my arm looking away. "Lady Hokage please. I followed Kakashi and his team on thier mission." She jumped out of her seat standing at this statement. Even grandpa's mouth tightened. "What do you think you were doing?! Putting yourself in danger like that!?" I dropped my hand and stood tall pulling a serious face making thier eyes widen. "That's what I came to see you for Lady Hokage. I am leaving the leaf. I don't know when I'll be back, if at all." Grandpa stepped forward. "Tanra, you'll be a rouge ninja if you leave the leaf like that. Please be reasonable." I stood my ground and stepped back. "I'm sorry Tsunade. Hiruzen. I'm leaving the village." I look off and they both took off after me. "Don't let her get away!" Tsunade shouted to a few people going up the stairs. I soon realized it was Jiraya and Yamato. I jumped over and climbed up the wood Yamato sent at me. I ran down the dirt path and ran up the hospital walls jumping onto the roofs continuing my running. Jiraya got right next to me making my eyes widen. I created fast hand signs and jumped in the air. "Snake possession jutsu!" He jumped to the side dodging it giving me the chance to run ahead. I jumped over the gate running off into the woods.

Naruto's POV

I saw granny and gramps walking back with pervy sage and Captain Yamato. They were coming from the gate. "You guys alright? What happened?" Granny looked at me with pity but it just confused me. "What's going on? What are you giving me that look for?" Gramps was the one to break the silence. "Naruto. This may be hard to take in, but Tanra. Has gone rouge." My eyes widened. "Why would she do that!? She knows the effect it had on all of us when Sasuke left! Now she's not coming back!? I don't believe this! Tanra would never turn her back on the leaf! She cares about you most of all gramps!" Gramps sighed. "Naruto, she still cares for the village. The will of fire still burns deep within her. She is just going through a difficult time. We may have been just a little to overprotective of her, as well as her father. I don't think she's running back to Orochimaru either."

Tanra's POV

I ran for a while till I was panting hard. I looked around to make sure I lost them. I sighed in relief when I saw it did. I leaned against a tree sliding down it tired. I rested catching my breath. I can't go back to papa. He'll ask what's wrong and things will get bad. Plus, I'm tired of being the princess everyone protects. I need to make my sacrifices as well.

~Time Skip~

I've traveled for some time now. I looked around trying to find a place to hide when I heard faint voices up ahead. "Man I'm an idiot. I'm in a desert and I think I have a place to hide." I whispered to myself as I hit my forehead. I put my hand on the hilt of my sword as the voices got closer. They started becoming familiar too. I decided to start walking but kept my hand where it was. I stopped when I was in front of them as they did the same. "Funny to see you out here Sasuke, you as well Karin and Jugo. What's an experiment doing out here?" Suigestu stepped forward reaching for his sword. "Sasuke I don't care if she's." He was cut off before he could finish his sentence by Karin as she punched him. "Tanra. I wanted to talk to you. Your not going to like the news I have for you." My eyes widened. "What happened to papa!? What did you do to him!? I knew he shouldn't have gone after a brat like you!" I pulled out my sword getting ready for attack and so did Suigestu. Sasuke spoke in a commanding tone. "Stop Suigestu! Tanra calm yourself! Please see reason. Come join us." I narrowed my eyes at him. "I should have run back to papa when I fled the leaf. I should have known he would aim for you so soon." Sasuke held his hand out to me and Karin glared at me. "Tanra please. He struck at a fight he couldn't win. He lost a fair fight." I looked at the ground fighting back tears. I sheathed my sword turning around. "Fine, I'll join your group. What do you need me for anyway? You have your sneak in, your strength, and your sensory ninja. What am I?" He sighed blushing a little. "You have Intel as well. You are as good as your father you know? Plus, your swordsmanship is exceptional." Karin was full on glaring at me now. I nodded. "Alright Sasuke, I get it." We walked till we got into some kind of tunnel way. We stopped when some cats came up to us. They started talking to us but I paid no mind. Talking animals and all kinds of weird things are normal for me. I followed everyone down the hall as the cats took us to a room where two girls where. Well, an old lady and a girl anyway. I looked at the pictures on the wall as Sasuke spoke to them. Sasuke sure was something as a kid. The girl bound up to me grabbing my arm. "You sure are pretty!" My eyes widened and Sasuke sighed. "Come on! We'll make something special for you!" I looked over at Sasuke who just raised an eyebrow at me. "Granny we'll be in the back!" She dragged me in the back by the arm.
