The Uchiha (Itachi Twin Sister// Naruto Fan-fiction)

Chapter 16 [Decision]

Itsuko POV
By the time we arrived back at konoha, it was already night. But little did we expect to arrive seeing konoha completely wrecked.

There were no guards at the gate and buildings were torn down. There were no street lights on. The whole scenario seemed too odd.

I signaled everyone to get their guard up since we didn't know what was to be expected upon seeing this. I headed towards the place that would always have people whether in the worst or best times, the hospital.

We stood in front of the tall white building, from outside you could hear moans, screams, cries and voices of nurses. Heading in, the floor were laid with injured citizens and even shinobis. I asked for the situation from one of them, only to be ignored. They were far too busy.

I leaned my back against the wall, flipping through the book registering rooms. That was where I found the key to my answer. I saw the name Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha.

I hurriedly headed to their rooms. Those reckless brats obviously knows something.

Sasuke's room door flown open as I stormed in, seeing Kakashi sitting beside him. Sasuke was unconscious but Kakashi wasn't.

Kakashi looked at me, shocked that I brought the team with me. Then only was I reminded the whole team followed me here.

"Putting that aside, what's the situation?" I demanded for an answer.

Kakashi told me the whole happening, starting from the chunin exam to Orochimaru's entetance to Gaara and finally to the death of Lord Third...

The team looked at Kakashi wide-eyed, some covered their mouths, tears rolling down their faces, not believing what they just heard.

I leaned against the wall once more dropping my head onto my hand. "Who's going to be the fifth?"

Kakashi shook his head. "The funeral is tomorrow morning."

"What is that old pervert doing?!" I screamed. Frustrated, I left the room without another word.

I stormed in the hospital and stormed out.

"Old pervert? That's pretty mean." I heard Jiraiya saying. Looking up, I saw him, he was sitting with his back against a pillar.

I walked towards him kicking him a couple of times. From his reaction, it seemed to be pretty hard.

"Who's the next hokage?" I asked, taking a fee steps back after the kicking.

He whipped the blood from his mouth before using the pillar as a support to stand up. "They wanted me to be the next but I rejected. I'm going to look for Tsunade after I settle things here. She's going to be hokage."

"Tsunade... Isn't she the best medical ninjutsu user around? I heard she left konoha." I turned, looking up at the sky.

It was dark, there was no moonlight, the moon was completely covered by the clouds yet there were stars shinning in place of it.

It was just like our situation. There's no hokage, the one that lights the way, instructing shinobi on what they should do and now he's gone, for the time being you have us guide the kids on where to go.

"Yeah, she left. She couldn't stand life in the village. She was treated like a total outcast just because they thought she was a threat." Jiraiya said, looking up into the sky as well. Perhaps thinking of what I'm thinking.

"She likes gambling right? You mentioned it once or twice when you had a conversation with Minato." I said, glancing over at him.

He nodded.
