As we slowly journeyed through Takigakure I had always had my guard up including Yamato and Kurenai, Shibuki was unaware, and maybe he was I can't blame him for that.

"Hinata."

"Yuki-kun?"

"Take this."

A gave her a kunai with the seal needed for me to do Hiraishin, she had a confused look but she hid it in her pockets.

"It's just for safety measures okay?"

"But I have lots of them already?"

"Just keep it for now."

"Mhm"

We continued on as usual, nothing out of the ordinary happened, I'm not like Naruto in a sense that I have the need to connect myself with the client unless information is necessary so the journey was somewhat boring.

Although I would converse with Kiba, Shino and Hinata, updating myself with how they were and what they were doing lately, and right now I could see why Shino wanted to be a teacher as when I asked him about his clan.

He lectured me for an hour and I just listened, Kiba got bored while Hinata just listened along with me, but she was closer to me and sometimes our hands would touch, I could even hear Kurenai and Yamato laugh abit.

"Wow that's a beautiful waterfall."

I exclaimed when we finally arrived, it was the first time I've seen a waterfall this big upclose.

"It's so big."

"Hey Akamaru wanna play there?"

"Woof!"

It's too clean? But again Shibuki arrived earlier than expected, if I remember Team 7 was supposed to clean the trash around this place along with a few kids.

Speaking of kids?

"Hey!"

I yelled at a figure who was collecting trash near the waterfall? wait! I came near the figure and it was a child with green hair, she was around two to three years younger than me.

"Yuki-kun!"

Hinata followed after me, then Shino and Kiba followed after her, Kurenai and Yamato shook their heads and stayed with Shibuki for safety reasons.

I arrived near her and she was startled, but she smiled at me.

"What's your name?"

"It's Fu Onii-san!"

"Why are you collecting trash?"

"Because If I don't no one will and no one will like me."

I sighed, she really was the same as Naruto, but thanks to Naruto's background he was still in a better spot than Fu was.

"Fu!"

Shibuki arrived near us.

I then summoned a water clone since it was the most appropriate clone right now, I ordered it to collect trash and help Fu, as for Chomei, I'll think about it later, but I wonder what happened as why Fu was the Jinchuriki

And If I also remembered Takigakure always had produced outstanding Jonin's, there's so many questions behind Fu and the Village's power aside from the Hero Water, or maybe because that's just it.

"What did I say about talking to strangers?"

I didn't take offense to that as we only had a superficial relationship, Fu looked confused and just smiled, right now there should be an attack if I'm not wrong, or there really is nothing.

"Nothing?"

"It's fine."

I interrupted and didn't say anything else our mission ends here but I wanted to take Fu away here if I could it would be best she stay under my surveillance lest the Akatsuke arrives here before she grows.

Hinata and the rest looked at my clone and did the same, they began picking up the trash on the waterfall without saying anything else.

"Woah! Thank you!"

Fu said as we helped her collect the trash and placed it in the bag she brought.

"Ugh, Thank you, consider this as an extra mission I guess?"

We just nodded and continued working, Yamato and Kurenai were just watching us from atop of a boulder, I looked at the waterfall and I saw the entrance towards their village maybe if I force myself would it be a problem?

It took us about an hour of cleaning the lake since it was big, it was until something had happened that proved I was right.

"Shibuki-sama! Shibuki-sama!"

A young man ran towards us, he was bleeding, right they may have changed their plans, Yamato and Kurenai looked at each other and nodded, people here are real and they would change and adjust on what they see is fit for the situation.

"The Village! It's being held captive!"

I caught the man and placed him slowly, I took out the Kunai's on his back, there was a letter, I gave it to Hinata and I took out the ointment she gave me earlier and applied it to the man after I ripped his clothes

"You! It's all because of you!"

I was shocked at the words of the man as he pointed at Fu, is the Akatsuki here? I now have tons of questions.

"Speak!"

Shibuki came over to my side as I place the man on the boulder.

"They're here for the Hero Water Shibuki-sama! And they wanted Fu to be sold!"

Honestly how in the earth is this a village when the strongest is a Chunin and at most its because of Hero Water, but I can't blame them for that perhaps because the war depleted their forces and perhaps sealing Chomei inside Fu was also a factor.

"Yamato sensei, Kurenai-nee"

They nodded, perhaps they already sensed the scout and they quickly left, shortly I could hear loud thuds and after awhile they came back with two men and threw them to the side as they begun their interrogation.

"Hinata, Shino, Kiba, try and sense for more shinobi's the sensei may have missed, keep it up until the situation is resolved there's no telling what they're doing right now and for us to avoid being surprised."

"I will Yuki-kun!"

"Mm!"

"Akamaru!"

I was glad since it really wasn't the Akatsuki this time, but this time they're really careful, so I had to ask this time since Shibuki was scared out of his wits.

"Explain the situation!"

"They want her! and the Hero water, they've captured everyone in the village! They said if they don't receive it and her they'll kill a child for every hour that passes!"

I clicked my tongue, things have changed, somehow I felt someone tug my clothes.

"Nii-san, they want me right?"

Fu looked at me, she was still a child, and I have the power to save her right now including the village, but I looked at Shibuki, I don't want a war between the Villages right now as this now includes their Jinchuriki.

"I-!"

"What do you want to do!"

"I! I'll give her but not the hero water!"

I punched his face after hearing that, this spineless coward, I'm quite irritated that I don't have Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu, if I had that I could probably talk my way out of this world!

"Nii-san! Don't hurt him!"

Fu blocked my way after I punched Shibuki, this mission has gotten out of hand as expected, I breathed in deep, I kneeled in front of Fu.

"Fu."

"Nii-san?"

"Go to that pretty girl over there and she'll protect you, as for you, say that its a mission right now!"

Fu nodded awkwardly and came over to Hinata, I wonder why she's so obedient towards me? I'll think about it later.

"I'! I'm issuing this as a mission."

"The payment will be her! give her to Konoha and her protection is guaranteed!"

"Yuki-kun."

Yamato came over to me as perhaps Kurenai had finished their investigation, he patted my shoulder.

"I'll take it over from here, you're saying this is now a mission right?."

"Yes."

"This will now be classified as an A rank mission bordering an S ranked, Yuki."

"Sensei."

"We'll be the ones doing it, Kurenai, you stay here with your team but its best you go back to the village and ask for reinforcements."

"No! Don't leave us! Help us please! It's because of me right? I! I'll give myself if it means protecting the village!"

Fu said as she ran towards Kurena and pulled her clothes, Kurenai also was dragged by Fu's childish words but she nodded.

"Alright I'll stay here but don't run out of my sight."

"Hey why does he get to Join Yamato?"

"If you're worried about it you're still going to get the A rank in your resume."

I told Kiba who nodded right now, Shibuki was being interrogated by Yamato and after awhile.

"Let's go but you have to go alone Yuki"

"Me?"

"Don't worry I'll be in the dark, the letter stated that the two Jonins should not be there and that only Shibuki and one of you should bring Fu inside."

"Alright, so what's the plan?"

"Well."
