Feminine Wiles

Small World

Last Time:

"What? That's great!" exclaimed Obito and he hugged her not realizing he was making her heart skip a beat ... the recording turned out to be the biggest break to date and the most concerning ...

XXXXXXXXXX

"Sebastian will be safe in Konoha." said Minato as Naruko and the leaf ninjas raced through the trees. Rin and Sebastian were the only ones who were not in the group.

Naruko sighed, "I know ... I don't like it, but after what we heard it might be safer for him there."

Flashback

"What? That's great!" exclaimed Obito and he hugged her not realizing he was making her heart skip a beat. When the hug ended she took a second to gather her thoughts and pressed the play button.

"Mr. Roi, so good to-"

"Cut the crap, Orochimaru. What's going on with those experiments you're working on?" demanded the businessman.

"Ivan stole the main body of our research-"

Mr. Roi slammed his fist on his desk, "Are you telling me the vile for over 60 bloodlines is gone?!"

"Yes, we have been trying to force him to tell us where he hid it, but it's gotten us know where. The most he said is that the Sandman will get him first and it seems our cover may be blown here. When we tried to take Ivan's grandson hostage ... well let's just say the kid has a bodyguard and a strong one at that." hissed Orochimaru.

"So this was a huge waste of time and money."

"Not really ... Ivan will talk and our plans to move our more deadly experiments into Sand's territory is going smoothly." said the snake sage.

Mr. Roi grunted, "Not with my money. If I don't get results soon I'm pulling out"

"That's fine ... I figured out the workings of your company and took control of your accounts this morning so you are no longer useful, kill him." Orochimaru ordered ...

Flashback Over

"We need to talk to the kazekage, but if we can't stop Orochimaru from doing whatever he's planning it's best Sebastian wasn't in range." said Naruko as they raced through the trees.

"Rin will keep him safe ... so Naruko ... Sebastian said that you don't know your real last name, is that true?" asked Sakumo.

Naruko smiled softly, "No I don't ... I was found as a child in the middle of the Land of Iron".

"You don't remember your family?" asked Kenshin curiously.

"No ... I was about five years old so I really should have some memories, but that's when my chakra condition developed. My fever was so bad that no doctor was surprised that I couldn't remember anything. The samurais investigated, but they couldn't find out where I came from." explained Naruko.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "Wait ... so you just appeared in Iron? That's not possible, but considering that ninjas aren't allowed there maybe your parents were highly skilled ninjas, but why take you there and leave you?"

Minato put a finger to his chin in thought, "Rin mentioned once before that Iron is very experienced with treating chakra disorders because they have a lot of chakra blocking metal."

"Yeah ... the theory is that my parents noticed I had a severe condition, but no hospital was equipped to help me so they either had someone take me or took me themselves into the Land of Iron and risk execution to save me." Naruko bit her lip softly as she pondered her past.
