The next days passed by in a blur. The villagers were sacred, Shinobi were on high alert. Patrolling and checkpoints were placed through out the country. Everyone was on full alert. We had multiple reports coming in by the hour of every single possible suspicion. I asked myself now what for? The damage was done, it won't be much use now.
The funerals came and went. Everyone gave their sympathy's to one another on losing their loved ones. Many shinobi not showing there emotions.The young ones going down the rabbit hole of mourning and depression. Not use to this lifestyle yet.
Master Jiraiya had shown up after the attack. Too late to help. The council and Lord 3rd had already asked him prior to become the next hokage. He had declined right away. I personally felt he wasn't made for it. He's too much of a free sprit, just to give an example he had taken Naruto with him in his travels prior to "train." I thinks they were just messing around. The meetings were endless. The respected top clans members arguing back and forth, sometimes trying to take things over. I had to endure the lords and ladies that had come into the village. Making sure they left with a fully armed escort. I became soft and quiet. Being direct when spoken to. I was just doing what I had to do to get by. Not letting my emotions get the best of me, at least while people were around.
Kari wouldn't speak. She would go on runs and wouldn't come back until hours later. Also very quiet, in her own world. She had her way of coping with things. Being away from everyone and distancing herself.
Their were at times I broke down when I was alone. Thinking back to my family. The good times and the bad. To the last days mom and dad were still here. To the dinner we had the night before the attack. I would replay in my mind that day of the attack. Wishing I could go back in time and just never have said anything to Obito. I should have minded my own business. Minded my own business since the beginning!
I missed Shisui and hated this awful situation I placed him in. I hadn't heard from him at all. Hadn't seen him at all, nothing. My heart yearned and ached for him and his presents. For him to comfort me and tell me he's there. To tell me he'll take care of me. To tell me he knows how I feel. I wanted him to forgive me and make it all better. But nothing, that kiss on the battlefield was nothing more than sympathy for me.
Obito or Itachi. I saw neither of them. Obito had probably gone to the borders to patrol. Shit maybe Shisui as well. How embarrassing! Them having to look at each other and act like nothing. Itachi was probably on an Anbu missions. Being busy after the attacks.
Anko and Yugao were on missions. I couldn't speak with either of them. Let out with them what I had balled up inside. It became lonely so fast.
The council meetings were staring to get worse with the arguing. "The Lord of the Land of Fire is needing an answer. We need someone we can all agree on, at least for the meantime." Inoichi from the Yamanaka clan and head of the analysis team stated. Master Jiraiya walked in and sat by me, "Hey kid." He greeted me. I gave him a look that I was over this topic. We just needed to look for aunt Tsunade. "Lady Yumi what are your thoughts?" Master Jiraiya asked me. Great all eyes on me. I guess this is my chance. So I began "I say we look for Lady Tsunade, we're the one to talk to her." I said pointing at myself and Master Jiraiya. "Potential people in here I see is Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku. The cons I see with Nara, I see him overthinking things, making decisions too slowly and he would back out pretty soon after. Lord Fugaku well he's pretty busy as it is with the police force he would have to give up that position. That position is hard to replace and I don't trust anyone's experience and judgements like Lord Fugaku's." They all we're listening. Nara rubbed the back of his head. Uchiha was a little caught off guard by my comment. "I say Master Jiraiya and I look for Lady Tsunade, she's our best option. Her experience and age have given her good insight. She's a Senju, she's witnessed my forefathers and great uncles actions and leadership. The Lord of Fire would find comfort in this, one of her titles is a legendary Sannin and as far as I know her travels have severed her well. She's been able to find friendships, acquaintances, and alliances. And well ... . she is her, people can be quiet scared of her." I said as I looked at them. "Do you know her location." One of the elders asked. "I know Master Jiraiya must have an idea as to where she is, I have a couple too." Jiraiya laughed at the last part. "Is this true Master Jiraiya?" Asked one of the elders, looking at him. "Yea I have an idea on what town she's in." He said this smirking at me, I rolled my eyes. I know dam well he likes keeping tabs on his number one fantasy. "If everyone is in agreement I think Master Jiraiya and Lady Yumi should go then." Said one of the elders, stating to all. My heart was pumping, finally I was going to bring aunt Tsunade back as promised. "Lady Yumi should stay," said Nara. "What?! Why?!" I asked what the hell is his problem? Shikaku sighing, "because in the case of another attack you'll be a strong force against it. Just with your summoning helps. Many of the police forces have gone out of the village and have dwindled the protection we have within. Plus you've been a lot of help here." My heart stung as it knew it was the truth. But still, that's so unfair!!! I gave Nara a look of why did you have to open your mouth. "He's right Lady Yumi. Patrolling within the village is down. We need you here at least for back up in the case theres another attack." Fugaku said, breaking my thoughts. I knew they were right. I was all about protecting the village and family now. I talked my shit now I needed to back it up. I sighed, "I guess I'll stay, but if Master Jiraiya is unsuccessful I'll head out to speak with her." I said looking at all of them. "But I do have a condition. Master Jiraiya is to take my sister Kari and Naruto." I said this as I crossed my arms and looked at Master Jiraiya. "What?!" He said appalled, "Theres no way I'm bring those two. They'll just get in the way!" He retorted back not looking my way as he crossed him arms. "They'll be babysitting you! Because you can't focus!" I said this dramatically getting up and pointing my finger at him. "Look Kari can help out on convincing her and Naruto will help you stay focused." I calmed down and sat down. "I need this to be done as soon as possible Master Jiraiya. So if you don't step on it and do it then you'll be the one to stay and I'll be the one to leave." Everyone was silent, sweat dropping at this awkward conversation. "I guess!" He said rolling his eyes. "Sometimes you have to talk to a man as a child." Aunt Tsunade once told me.
Nara, Kakashi, Master Jiraiya, the elders and I went into the hokage office. We had sent Anbus for Naruto and Kari. They arrived at once both eyeing us as we stood their. "Yumi what's going on?" Asked Kari as she kept looking around confused. "Yea what's up with the escort?!" Asked Naruto sizing up the Anbu. "You will be going on a mission tomorrow at dawn. You are to accompany Master Jiraiya in looking for Lady Tsunade. He will be speaking with her on becoming the new hokage. If he is successful you are to be her personal escort." I said looking at both of them. Kari stayed quite taking this in, she knew I was up to more. "But why don't we have Pervy Sage become hokage?" Asked Naruto looking at all of us. "Pervy Sage you can explain that all to Naruto." I said as I pulled Kari into my arms leaving the situation to the rest of them. I pulled us out of there. As we walked away I could hear Naruto making a commotion with them. "But Kakashi Sensei!"
Kari and I walked home, the sun was already settling. "Lets grab dinner to go." I said ruffling her hair. She had remained quiet this whole walk so far. "Yumi whats really going on?" She asked with an eyebrow up. I giggled, "Imouto, lets just grab something to eat and go home. I've got a secret mission for you." I said with a wink and started running away. "Aww shit!" Kari laughed and started running after me.
***Kari was hiking in the Nara forrest. She had gotten permission from Shikamaru to be there. It was one of the most tranquil places she knew. This was her place to brake down, but how could she? Her sister was the crybaby. She thought to herself remembering Yumi's silent cries at night that don't fool her. "Lady Kari you sister demands your presence." Kari jumped at the sudden voice. Holding her chest, trying to comfort her heart, "Shit! You scared me!" She accused the Anbu in the bird mask. "Your sister needs you for an important mission. I am to escort you immediately." The Anbu kept going. "I swear my sister can be dramatic." Kari said making her way out of the forrest. "I don't need an escort." Kari whispered to herself.***
