Chapter 10: Shiranaionna's Past Revealed

Back in the village within Nami no Kuni, Naruto and the others was relaxing in Inari's house, "Thanks Naruto for saving us once again." said Tsunami as she was making them dinner while Naruto was smiling, "Thanks Naruto-nii-san!" said Inari as he was smiling too, "No problem!" replied Naruto as he was smiling till Yume pokes him in the head, "Ok kid, don't get a big head to match that big ego you have." said Yume as Inari laughs when Naruto mumbles and looks away, "After we eat, we have to be going back to Konoha." stated Kakashi as he was sitting at the table with the others when Naruto nods.

Few days later, Naruto and the others arrived in Konohagakure no Sato where they passed through the entrance, "Finally we are home." said Naruto as he was smiling when Kiba and Shikamaru walks off, "We will be going now." said Shikamaru as he yawns and he walks off while Kiba walks off too and was petting Akamaru on the head, "I will be going to Ichiraku Ramen~!" said Naruto as he was smiling and ran off to Ichiraku Ramen when Yume sighs and she walks off with Kakashi.

Naruto was eatting at Ichiraku Ramen while Hinata was watching him from afar, "N-n-naruto-kun..." mumbled Hinata to herself as she was blushing and was hiding behind a pole.

Off in the Hokage's Office, Tsunade was looking at files and narrows her eyes when Shizune came in, "Shizune, I want you to call in Yume and Kakashi now." stated Tsunade as Shizune nods and walks off out of the room, "So he did do them experiments..." mumbled Tsunade to herself as she has a serious look on her face and was looking up at the files.

Shizune was dashing through the village, "Where are they?" mumbled Shizune as she was looking around till she found Yume and Kakashi in the park, "There you two are." said Shizune as she came up to him, "Oh hello Shizune-chan." said Kakashi as he was looking at her, "Tsunade-sama wants to see both of you." stated Shizune as she was looking at both of them, "Hmmm...what is it about?" asked Yume as she was looking at her, "I have no clue but it seems to be very important." replied Shizune as she walks off with them following behind her.

Naruto walks off to his apartment and was yawning, "Man, I am so tired..." mumbled Naruto as he was stretching his arms out and arrived at his apartment when he smiles, "Some day I will drag his ass back to this village." said Naruto as he yawns and went inside of his apartment.

Meanwhile off in the Hokage's Office, Shizune came inside with Kakashi and Yume while Tsunade was sitting at her desk, "So you called for us, Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi as he was glancing at her, "Yes its about that Shiranaionna woman that Yume is searching for." stated Tsunade as Yume seems to be in shock, "Cmon tell us!" replied Yume as she was looking at her, "I found these old files left behind by Orochimaru during the days that he was Konoha shinobi." replied Tsunade as she has the files on her desk, "She has somekind of connection with Orochimaru?" asked Kakashi as he was looking at her when Tsunade nods, "Yes she does." replied Tsunade as she was looking at them, "Orochimaru was doing experiments with a rare and deadly form of chakra called Malice. Its the chakra form of hatred and wrath...he was trying tests on corpses." stated Tsunade as Yume, Kakashi and Shizune seems to be shocked when their eyes widen, "All of the corpses except for one were failures...This one corpse that didn't fail was the corpse of a kunoichi." stated Tsunade as she was looking at them.

Yume, Kakashi and Shizune remained looking at her, "So who was this kunoichi?" asked Kakashi as he was looking at her, "Shiroi Hatake." replied Tsunade as she was looking at them, "That's the name of my younger sister..." replied Kakashi as he seems to be shocked, "Yes, you remember she died during Third Great Shinobi World War when she was send out on a mission and her own squad was wiped out with no bodies remaining." stated Tsunade as she was looking at them, "To find out more. I believe we need to find Orochimaru's old lab." stated Tsunade as she was looking at them when they nod, "Starting tomorrow, Kakashi will go out with Yume and a squad of his selection." stated Tsunade as they nod while they was looking at her, "All of you can go now." said Tsunade as they nods and walk off from the office, "Are you okay, Kakashi?" asked Yume as she was walking beside of him, "Yeah I am. I just need time to think this out." said Kakashi as he walks off from her.
