Chapter Text
The Idol of the year, Nobuko Takada, who was in transit to her handshake event, was humming as she scrolled through her social media. The day was very hectic but also redundant that she was bored out of her mind.
*THUMP!!*
"Kyaaah~ what was that?!" Something had fell on their car and from the sound of it, it was something big.
"Wait a moment, Ma'am. I will check-" her driver said as he exited.
"I want to see what happened too." whined Takada but knew better, as she didn't make any move to actually get out.
"It's not the best course of action, wait here miss"
"Boo! You're no fun!"
"I try to be."
...
...
it took a while before the driver came back to the car. "So what was that sound?"
"It's a boy."
"A Boy?" is his wife pregnant or something? even then, why would he say that to me?
Seeing her puzzled look, the driver clarified, "The boy was what fell on our car." oh...OH!
"what! what happened to him? is he alive?" I peeked through the back and sure enough there was a crowd.
"I have called for emergency and an ambulance will come soon."
"An Ambulance? Do you want me to get accused of a hit and run case?! Get him! get him here before the crowd starts making rumors!" I couldn't have ditched my manager on a more perfect day!
The driver came back with the body while she was cursing herself internally, "Lay him here and rush to the nearest hospital." She scooted over to give space to lay the body down.
"Yes, Ma'am." he replied before we sped through.
"Cling to this wretch̵̩̀ė̴̥d̸̳͘ ̵̱̽l̸̗̅î̵̼f̶̩̏e̵̹͋- F̶̖̀o̴̻͝r̴͚͐g̷̦̽í̷͔v̵̻̅ẽ̷͖ ̶̹̎m̵̃ͅe̵̥͝,̶̭̍ ̴̺̓S̵͇̓a̵̟̎s̴͚̐u̸̧͝ḱ̸͖è̶͚.̴̼́

"Don't go through the path of revenge, Sasuke, it will only lead to emptiness."
"The people you speak about are already ḍ̷͉̆è̴̝a̶̼͌̈́d̷̖̏."
"I love you, Sasuke-kun…even if I can't stop you, then take me with you
I'll make you happy, I'll do anything to make you happy, every day will be
Filled with happiness, just take me with you, Sasuke-kun…"
"You remember right? The thing you said about High-level Shinobi …."
"How can I be Hokage? If I can't save a friend."
"No children should be made to fight adults' battles."
Lost in his memories and the information gathered from the reanimated Hokages, Sasuke's mind started spiraling.
Both Madara and Hashirama built the village to safeguard the next generation, for the kin they lost, the life they were robbed of. And The Village did it again.
The children were made to obey the village; the authorities weren't just, and the system didn't care. The village became just another forest, a forest that plays with your trust, ultimately their life.
xXx
At the hideout where the four hokages were resurrected, silence prevailed as all of them awaited what decision Sasuke would make.
"Hey Jugo, is Sasuke sleeping? The gramps with a beard asked him a question." Suigetsu whispered to Jugo, who didn't bother answer his rambling.
"Maybe he's really asleep, he knows that we are in the midst of the four kages right? not to mention Orochimaru."
Suigetsu slowly moved towards sasuke to give him a nice blow to the head to wake sasuke, knowing him, he went for a slight shake of his shoulder instead, but his hand was caught by Orochimaru and Suigetsu got creeped out immediately and returned to his place. After a few minutes, Sasuke opened his eyes…
"Well, what is your decision, Sasuke ?" asked Sarutobi again.
"I intend to end this war'
"What will you do later ?" asked the Fourth with a slight threat in his voice, but was interrupted by the First. "Deal with it later, let's go to the battlefield!"
"Hai!"
*CRACK*
Everyone turned to see what it was, the shinigami mask! it broke! "Get back everyone!" I don't know who said it but everyone did as was said.
We looked at the broken mask for any sign of movement, but nothing happened. I looked around to confirm if everyone is as confused as I was and they indeed were.
"Wait, Where's Sasuke?"
*gasp* Sasuke woke upto what looked like a hospital. why am I in a hospital? The machines looked worse than Orochimaru's, When did that snake ever use a bright workplace.
Sasuke sat up with a wince, it seems he was not 100% yet. "Huh? they said you would atleast be knocked out for a few hours." Sasuke turned towards the voice. A girl around his age stood at the doorstep with a bag in hands.
"I was just going to going to leave after giving you these fruits-" lifted the bag "-but I am so glad to see you alright! ne~ what's your name?" She didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so Sasuke decided to answer.
"Uzumaki Naruto", Fuck! I could have used any alibi, why did I say that idiot's name. The girl laughed so hard that she was clutching her stomach, everytime her laugh subsided it doubled up seeing Sasuke's impassive face.
"I didn't think you were a fan of mangas. you could have said you were Sasuke or something, you totally look like him. Tell me your real name, I am Nobuko Takada, but you may already know me." She did what seemed to be a type of pose, but Sasuke was more interested about what she said before that.
Manga? there's one about us? "Hey! it's rude to ignore people talking to you!" She marched and stood before him with hands on hip, tapping her foot impatiently. Sasuke raised a brow, clearly not getting what she wants.
Seeing his confused gaze, She relented, "I saved you, you know? You fell on our car out of nowhere! and you can't even bother telling me your name."
This whole place looks strange... machines that I haven't seen anywhere. abnormal clothing. If what she said had any truth, then I possibly could have been transported. Did the fourth hokage get rid of me?! But -"You do look cute somewhat." Sasuke's thoughts were interuppted and he looked at her to find her looking aside, her cheeks adorned a tinge of red.
"Not that you are handsome or anything just slightly better looking" She cleared her throat and continued, "Hey, I got an Idea. Do you mind working as my assistant? You see, my manager is an old man, you can be his apprentice! I take good care of my staff, so you don't have to worry about that! and I get to have someone my age to hang out with me! What do you say?!" Takada looked at Sasuke expectantly.
It was a very good offer and she doesn't seem to gain anything from him than what she stated, His thoughts drifted back to his genin days, good ol' times when he had been saving princesses left, right and center.
"Hn."
Mai was utterly frustrated. Here she was standing doing nothing while Todo went to enjoy the day off with his obsession. But, Only way she could move around freely out of the campus and missions, is if she's with Todo. So she aquiences.
Todo is well on his way to become a special grade and the Zenin are looking to gain favor while he's still a grade one. While her comrade is very intelligent, She knows the Zenin are conniving bunch of bitches that they could do something worse for them.
"Hey, that hottie is looking at us like we're garbage!" She snapped out of her thoughts hearing that comment. Bitch please, I don't judge monkeys.
"Don't get turned on.." She heard the other guy mutter to him. Horny fucks, all of'em Mai cursed as what Naoya once told her surfaced back up, "You're getting wet Mai~ you get turned on when I go hard on you, don't you?~"
Before her mind could spiral, Todo intercepted, "Mai, Sorry to keep you waiting." His face hardened as he got a better look on her, "What's wrong? Did something bad happen?" He queried.
Get a load of this guy."Why don't you ask yourself that?" I had nothing to do but look at these perverts salivating with their eyes.
"The time has finally come."
"huh?"
Todo pulled out what seemed to be tickets, Don't tell me, are these tickets to another of these events?! "What's this?"
"Ticket to the next Handshake event." Oh God, please No! "You should go experience how wonderful Takada is in person."
This is just plain annoying.
"This is my duty as a fan, and as her future husband." That was just plain creepy. But if I refuse, I'm sure he'll get even more annoying.
"What's the matter?"
"Absolutely Nothing!" Mai said while grinding her teeth.
