Itsuko POV

"She's at the gates, alone though." Haru suddenly informed me, nearly causing me to fall of a chair.

It was silence in the room, I was falling asleep on a chair but his voice woke me up. It was sudden. But it was the least I expected.

"Alone? In the middle of the night? Isn't Shizune with her?" I questioned, standing up from the chair, rubbing my eye.

He shook his head. "She's alone. Who's Shizune?"

"What is she thinking?" I raised an eye brow before exiting from the window.

Jumping from roof top to roof top, finally the gate came into sight. At the very top of the gate sat a lady figure, starring up into the sky.

I leaped onto the gate, taking a seat beside her. She turned her head, looking at me startled.

"Who is it?" I asked, causing her to look at me weirdly. "The person you're thinking off. Don't try to lie, I can tell."

She glanced at me before turning her head, starring back into the blank sky.

"Dan and Nawaki. They both wanted to be hokage but died because I gave them the necklace." She said, her voice full of sorrow as she scooped up a necklace that was hanging on her neck, holding it tight.

"Since you're going to be hokage eventually, I might as well tell you if you're going to know anyways." I laughed, looking at the sky.

It was dark this time round. There were no stars neither was there a moon. It was complete emptiness.

She looked at me confused but that confusion somehow turned into some sort of anger. "But I never said I would be, why do you think I'll take on the job? Only fools would become hokage, sacrificing their life for the village."

"My instincts tell me so. I'm not in a place to comment on whether hokage's are fools or not so we'll leave that for you to answer when you become one." I said, not taking my eyes off the empty sky. "I'm Itsuko Uchiha, the nine-tails jinchuriki and captain of the anbu. I'm also known as The Wind Assasin. Pitiful isn't it? Such position being taken by such a horrible person. The whole village detests me despite my efforts as anbu captain. That will never change but I understand your feelings. The feelings of being treated like an outcast. When my parents were alive, I was never loved. It was probably better for them if I never existed. The only people who treated me like family died. The only one alive is a total idiot waiting to die." The thought of him made me laugh a little.

"I know Danzo was the one that encouraged sending you away saying you were a threat but unfortunately he's still alive and well today. Could I ask you return to being that threat, being the hokage? I'm sure Danzo hates me so badly he would use any opportunity to get rid of me but Lord Third likes to comment on my determination. I'm not giving up. I'm not letting Danzo win this. I need your help, become hokage in Nawaki and Dan's place and keep Danzo away from that seat he wants so badly. Tch, this is why I hate talking so much." I laughed at the last sentence, standing up.

"Wait-" She said, holding onto me.

"Tell Jiraiya your answer. I'll be waiting for you." I smiled, teleporting away, leaving a few leaves floating around in my place.

I've spent so much time talking it's already morning. I yawned, slowly strolling back to the inn.

"Haru, you're job is over. Thanks." I said as I entered the room, patting him on the shoulder. He let out a sigh.

"I'll be going then." He said before leaving, closing the door behind him.
