Hidden Uchiha (Itachi's daughter// Naruto Fan-fiction)

Chapter 33 [ROOT member]

Ikeri POV

"Of course, why'd you ask?"

I gave out a relief sigh. "Could you tell me about it?"

We started walking along the streets. The streets were full of shops, during the day, this street is always packed, shops are always full of customers. It's actually nice seeing something different for once. The empty streets with flickering street lights lighting the way.

"Back when Danzo was still alive, all ROOT members and anbu that were under Danzo had a seal placed on their tongue. Because we do dirty work for Danzo, he wouldn't want anyone to expose him so the seal was placed to prevent us from talking about those stuff. Or even about Danzo. But seals faded away when Danzo died." He explained slowly.

"Is it possible that some of them would still have the seal?" I asked, just then we stopped at the front gates.

"It might be. I heard rumours that the seals were permanent for those who were closer to Danzo and did higher ranked missions for him. Those were just rumours though." He stopped turning to face me.

"...Thanks Sai. Your duty is over isn't it? I suppose you're going to Ino's?" I said, turning my back to leave. "Well see ya."

"You know everyone so well. See you around." He smiled, turning his back to leave.

ROOT members... All of them have been freed, now they're all normal anbu. I've read through information on anbu members, most of the were previously ROOT members and records of their past weren't clear.

There should've been a seperate copy of the ROOT member's information somewhere but I don't recall ever seeing it. Perhaps... I'll pay her a visit tomorrow morning she should be asleep now. For now I guess I'll just loiter around.

Next Morning...

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Coming!" She yelled from inside, her voice as loud as ever.

The door opened, exposing her face. It's been quite awhile since I seen her. She looks the same as ever. She didn't even have a change of style for clothing, hair or anything. She was exactly the same from when I fist met her.

"Tsunade, how're you doing?" I said, entering her house. I dropped the formality ever since Kakashi became hokage. Tsunade said I was close to her so there wasn't actually a need for formality.

"It's been fine but Shizune wouldn't let me have my sake last night." She complained, slamming the door behind her.

I laughed. "It's for your own good, your not young anymore."

She frowned. "So what're you doing here? You're so busy, since when do you have time for visiting?"

"That's mean. I still visit just rarely, I've just been busy." I giggled looking down before lifting my head, making eye contact with her. Suddenly, the atmosphere just turned completely serious. "Do you have a copy of information on ROOT members?"

"They're not at the office?" She asked, sitting down on the coach.

"The ones there isn't the one um looking for. I want the one that has specific details on their past." I said, leaning against the wall.

She crossed her legs, her hands placed on her chin thinking. It was awhile before she seemed to have realised something.

"That's right!" She said, raising her eyebrows, slamming her hand on the table as she stood up.

I looked over, raising an eyebrow. Did she forget something again?

Then Shizune came out of nowhere. "Oh Ikeri's here-"
