"thank you for meeting with me, Tenshi" I nodded quietly, crossing my fingers over each other as I awaited patiently for the news of why he had came here.
"I didn't expect you to be the one to request a meeting with me, Karasu senpai"
"I'm no longer ANBU captain, Tsuyoi. There is no need to address me as such"
"is that an order?" I wondered. his onyx eyes flashed with an unknown glimmer of emotion, I turned my head to the side, sensing someone standing there. behind the wall, I noticed Kaida standing there with Akito and Hana.
"I need a favor from you" I nodded slowly.
"as long as it doesn't harm anyone in this village, I see no problem with aiding in that favor and I'm sure the others will agree"
"I want you to take in someone" I paused once more.
"I see, anything else I should know?"
"when he comes... he'll tell you anything you want to know"
"when will he arrive?"
"in a month, after he...after he turns five"
"you have a child?" I hissed surprised, he nodded as if it was the most easiest thing to disclose
"his mother died a few days after he was born, I raised him the best I could, but the group...its stirring and things are changing. I need to get him to a place of safety and you're the only one I can trust, you know the truth about my clan, I need you to raise him as his mother." My eyes widened at his words.
"as his mother?"
"when he began to ask questions about his mother, I told him it was you, I didn't know how else to tell him what happened to her"
"and who was she?"
"Naomi Suzushima. she was a temporary member of The Akatsuki as a medic until her death, she came from the Waterfall Village, defected because she tried to kill a feudal lord's son"
"I'm sorry for her death"
"as am I for the loss of both Hokage's" I flinched but offered a small nod, taking in the information he had given.
"marriage huh?"
"don't even start."
