Naruto - The Next Generation Ch5

Ch.5 Hurry Home Mother!

The doors to the Hokage door open to reveal a kunoichi Jounin and her team of Gennin. The Jounin kunoichi has long navy hair tied back into a long ponytail, and pale, pupil-less, lavender eyes. A typical Jounin jacket is worn and behind her are her three Gennin squad members: A kunoichi and two male ninja. Naruto beckons them in and greets them.
"Welcome back team Hyuuga, I trust your mission in the land of rice patties went smoothly?" Naruto then smiles. Hinata Hyuuga and her squad all nod simultaneously. One of The squad members says
"Umm, Hokage-sama, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a mission" The Gennin looked confused.
"I'm looking for a specific mission from five years ago. I need to find someone that went to the village hidden in the mist for some time. See, she's very important and needs to be found. Her daughter is very worried for her and came to me to look for her"
'and I have my own reasons too…'
"So her daughter has been with me for the last couple of days and I've been trying to figure out who her mother might be. It seems her mother is taking a long time on a mission with her squad and I'm concerned about her safety. I made a promise to this girl that I'd make sure her mum is safe, no matter what." Naruto then gestures to the small girl curled up on the couch and then finishes with his trademark grin.
Hinata begins to blush, bows then says.
"In that case we'll be going. It's getting late after all" The squad ninjas bow and follow their sensei. As Hinata passes through the door and shuts it the noise wakes up Hana. Naruto then gets up, along with Sasuke. Naruto carries Hana in his arms and she falls back to sleep. Naruto smiles at her.
"If only I could know who your mother is" He whispers. Sasuke parts ways with Naruto and Hana after they're out of the Hokage's office and then Naruto, carrying Hana heads home.
Over the next few days Hana spends her time with her dad pouring over old missions. When it occurs to Naruto that there could be a possibility that her mother came back and forgot to report in, was in hospital or was simply held up at a village. Naruto then asks Sai to help by coming up with a drawing using Hana's description of her mother. The final picture is of a woman in her early twenties, long, dark hair and soft eyes.
"Um… the eyes… They aren't quite right…" Murmurs Hana.
"Well, try describing them in a different way" Sai mutters getting annoyed at the brat that criticizes his work as being inaccurate.
"Here let me draw them" Sai hands her the pen.
"By all means" He hands her the picture and watches as she draws two circles for the eyes.
"What kind of a person has eyes like that?..." Then, he takes the picture and slowly fills in the rest.
"It… can't be…" Sai looks back at the image staring him in his face.
"Yes! That's exactly what she looks like! Wow, I take it back mister you're actually a pretty good drawer" Hana grins with delight, but is stopped short when she sees Sai tear up the picture.
"What are you DOING?!" she squeals. Sai ignores her and says
"…It's better this way. If your dad finds out she's your mother, and he announces your birth to her parents… If he does that- Naruto will certainly be killed, maybe even your mother, too" Sai's face, though emotionless hid deep concern.
"Under no circumstances must you push this any further, okay Hana?" Sai said.
"Understood!" Hana nodded, looking down at the pieces of torn up paper. She felt sad to have to let go of it all but figured it was for the best. 'If not having both means their life, I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe.'
