"And you saw the boy's conditions and decided to - remove him from the situation?"

Permalink

"No one deserves to be brought up by an organization of my dad!"

Permalink

Nod. "You have certainly done the village a service, exposing that - organization." Then, to the boy, "Can you tell me who your commander is? You won't get in trouble."

Permalink

"...We serve the Hokage. But - Lord Danzo passed on the orders."

Permalink

"And do you know where you're from? Who your parents are?"

Permalink

He hesitates a while, then: "I don't have any parents. I'm a clone."

Permalink

Nod. "Do you know how many others there are?"

Permalink

"Dunno. At least some other kids. Adults... I'd only ever seen three, two of the ANBU and Lord Danzo, before Ms Ranko rescued me."

Permalink

"We'll be sure to get this all sorted," he reassures the boy. Then, to Ranko: "Do you remember how many you fought total?"

Permalink

"Uh--there was the one I hit with the tornado, and then four more, and then--I have no idea which ones repeated, they were wearing masks and I wasn't paying attention to those. At least five for sure."

Permalink

"There is a chance we will need you to lead a contingent back to the base, if my operatives can't find it on their own."

There's a knock on the door, and he calls the people beyond in - two men, one blond and one brunet. 

"You called for us, Lord Hokage?" the blond asks.

"Yes. It appears Danzo is still up to his old tricks. These two are the ones who brought it to my attention. Shikaku, I would like an escort and temporary lodgings to be provided for them. Keep them together for now."

Then, back to the boy, "Do you have a code-name you prefer to use? Or a name for yourself?"

Permalink

"Um. I've used Naegi before, but I... Like the name Tetsuma. It's from a history book."

Permalink

"Tetsuma it is, then. Shikaku - "

"Already on it."

He nods, and turns back to Ranko. "I think that is enough for tonight. Do you have any questions for me?"

Permalink

"How do I fight that horrible illusion thing?"

Permalink

"The most basic way is pain, which will dismiss most lower level illusions. Higher level illusions require disrupting your chakra network, or being familiar enough with illusion techniques and your own mind to turn them back on their creator."

Permalink

"What's a chakra network?"

Permalink

"Chakra is the energy that flows in all things. In animals, it's concentrated in pathways between chakra points. Manipulating chakra is how most techniques are performed."

Permalink

"...So, basically chi, okay, that I can do."

Permalink

"If there's nothing else of concern, you two can go to settle yourselves in."

Permalink

"Come with me, then," the brunet says, and motions them out of the door.

He leads them down the stairs, to a decent-sized lounge on the bottom floor. He steps inside, and walks over to a man in a green vest with spiky, grey hair and a headband pulled down over one eye. They have a quiet conversation, then walk back over to Ranko and Tetsuma.

"Maa, I'll be taking over from here. Name's Hatake Kakashi," says the grey-haired man. "There's some secure housing for diplomats and such nearby."

Permalink

"Mmhmm. I'll be staying with you two, along with another escort who'll be joining us, in case anyone tries anything."

Permalink

"I appreciate it. Do you or the other one know how to do the illusion thing? I want to practice breaking it."

Permalink

"I do. Don't know who the other will be yet."
