The Red Flash of Konoha

Secrets

Iruka Umino Point of View

I wish I didn't need to come out out of that tree. Lord Hokage was right to have me tail Naruto. How much has Nyoko realize? They were family and were both jinchuuriki. She's obviously figured out they were related, by the look on her face, she was about to tell Naruto what she'd figured out.

"Iruka sensei." Naruto greeted me, thankfully he was oblivious. Unfazed by Nyokos narrowed purple eyes.

I didn't like this mission, what was the worse that could happen with these two learning the truth? Naruto wouldn't do anything that would bring harm to the Leaf Village. While Nyoko was a smart girl, she would think before doing anything. Together, I'm sure these two would be an impressive duo of ninja.

I smiled at Naruto, I couldn't let him figure it out. Walking closer to the pair I spoke, "Hey Naruto." I greeted the boy that I admired. I then looked to Nyoko, "Nyoko, the Hokage wishes to see you." I informed her kindly.

Judging by her face she wasn't happy, she then looked to Naruto. What was she thinking? Was she debating to tell him even with me right here? No, she wouldn't do that... Would she?

"Naruto, I think it's getting late, don't you? Head home and I'll buy you ramen tomorrow" I suggested, to Naruto, whom was out of the loop. Hopefully, he'd stay that way till the Hokage says otherwise.

Naruto's eyes widened a bit at the mention of ramen, "Really?!" He said with such glee, only for it to drop when he looked to Nyoko's cold expression, that was towards me. Her thin brows were almost touching, her eyes were wide open in a glare. I almost needed to take a step back, but I didn't. I couldn't let her anger scare me.

"Nyoko what's wrong?" Naruto asked, his sister. He looked between she and I, "Hey! Why are you looking at Iruka sensei like that!" He demanded a bit louder.

Nyoko took a step away from him walking towards me. I couldn't help but feel threatened. Her hair, swayed against the wind, lifting up. Was this the doing of the nine - tails.

"I'll tell you later Naruto." She finally spoke. Her tone was almost a growl, she was being aggressive. She walked past me, "Later Naruto." she said passively to her sibling.

Hiruzen's Sarutobi Point of View

I was conflicted. Seeing Iruka walk into my office late this evening, with a rather agitated Nyoko. This only confirmed my suspicions. She was about to tell Naruto everything. I was proud she figured it out and was willing to share with her brother, at the same time I couldn't let her. For it the elders ever found out both of them would be in trouble.

"Nyoko - " I started, trying to speak.

She however walked up to my desk, as she growled at me, "You knew. Does the whole village know?" Once she reached my desk she slammed her balled up hands on my desk.

It was apparent I wouldn't be able to get around this, she was to angry. She needed to calm down, or the beast would come out.

"Nyoko, you don't understand - " Iruka tried to speak this time.

Only for Nyoko, to yell in a cracked voice, "Shut up." She had here head down, her bangs covering her face. I couldn't see her face.

With a sigh I decided it was time to explain to her, everything. Or as much as I could to calm her down. If Danzō and the elders were to find out they would... They would lock her up, and mess with her mind. To find out what she knew then try to tame her, so they could control her half of the demon sealed within her.
