I paced around the office, paperwork was complete and the children had come back from their weekly missions at Sunagakura, Ren had informed me that she was going to start teaching them about the other nations and such and wanted my approval, I had given it, for their education but I wasn't ready for them to know about Konoha's Fourth Hokage. I didn't know how they were going to react when they find out that he died by The Nine Tailed Fox twelve; almost thirteen years ago, while I stood by and watched.
my mind went back to last night, when I found myself holding the scroll my mother passed over to me with The Yamamoto Clan jutsu. I had opened it, read through the jutsu and let it fall to the ground without a thought. I let myself crumble to the ground as I wrapped my arms around myself, the jutsu made me think of her as if she were alive, the notes for the jutsu were in her handwriting and had extra pointers for when trying to learn, with her guidance they would be easily learnt but was I ready to accept my bloodlines? would that mean I would have to start considering my fathers clans?
"uh..Tenshi?"
I looked up from staring at the floor, pausing in walking. I turned to find Mrs Shiro, I turned towards her in confusion, not sure why she would be the one to come up to see me, unless of course, something had happened that I wasn't aware of, or purhaps she couldn't find Asuna or any of the others.
"Mrs Shiro, are you alright?"
"Asuna and Ren are with the children so I came directly to you, there's a man asking to see you, he says its urgent and by the looks of it, he looks very ill" I furrowed my eyebrows, a sickly looking male is here?
"thank you for telling me, where is this man now, Mrs Shiro?"
"oh well he's being served pie from the Hinajima family right now, oh he sure does love blueberry pie" my mind blanked at her words, before I shook my head in surprise, excusing myself I quickly made my way down the stairs, once to the bottom I made my way towards the Hinajiima pie shop.
I found my way there quickly, no one seemed to be alarmed which gave me a wave of relief that no one was being harmed, but I had yet to know who it was that was here and why he was, Mrs Shiro said it was urgent but then why wouldn't he have just came straight to me and instead wanted to eat pie? who even knew about this place that needed my help for an urgent matter? surely everyone is Sunagakura and Konoha didn't need my help and if they did wouldn't they have sent a messenger hawk or came personally?
"excuse my intrusion" I greeted walking into the shop, immediately getting hugged by Mrs Hinajima who ushered me over to the corner where her husband was chatting with someone, most likely the one who was here with an urgent matter. As we got closer the first thing I noticed was the black cloak with red clouds and i tensed in defense, before Mr Hinajima moved to the side and revealed who it was. Itachi Uchiha.
"wonderful for you to join us, Tenshi-sama. I was just telling your friend here that if he wanted your hand in marriage he has his work cut out for him" I dead panned and stopped walking.
"Mr Hinajima, while I appreciate your concern about my love life, I have no plan of getting married any time soon"
"One can only hope" he sighed dramatically, walking away with his wife. I rolled my eyes and took a seat in front of Itachi who was sitting quietly in front of a table with three plates, two empty and one holding a slice of blueberry pie, all stacked neatly.
