Heavy breaths left Yasu’s face as her body trembled violently, her single black eye watching as the others exited an elevator. The first face the young Hatake would see had been Kei, who merely ignored her. The older Uchiha was covered in blood and ash, which caused Yasu’s eyes to harden. ‘…So much loss.’ Was all that swirled in her mind as she forced herself to sit up, her body trembling with every motion she made. ‘I have to keep moving…’ The gloved hand reached back and pulled both of the chakra pills out, her eyes staring at them for a moment. With her other hand she reached up and grabbed the cloth on her nose, pulling it outwards as she dropped one of her pills between it and her face. Yasu’s tongue would catch it before pulling it into her mouth, and with a sharp motion she’d chew on it. The taste was awful, but it provided her with what she needed to keep moving, though it wouldn’t last forever. As Kinshi passed in front of her Yasu placed the other pill in her hand as she spoke. The young child’s face was serious as she spoke, “Hai, Kinshi-Sama.” She responded as she felt the pill begin to take effect. The snow haired child stood up, her neck moving side to side, allowing a cracking noise to echo in the hallway. As she did this she’d roll her shoulder, preparing for what was next.



As the Hyuga female approached her and began to patch her up, the younger childs eyes looked ahead at the silhouettes of Kei and Kinshi, her thoughts questioning just what hell they had been through. Yasu would accept the dumpling from Hitomi, her head nodding. “Thank you.” As the female went to assist Ryouta, Yasu would grab her arm and stare at her intensely for a moment. “…I have something for you…But I need you to stay and take care of Kaylee in return.” From her pouch she pulled out Takuza’s headband and placed it into her hand. “I know how close you were to him.” She whispered before letting a sigh of discomfort leave her lips. “If you still wish to carry on and join us, I don’t care. It is your choice but Kaylee needs the help. I support whatever you choose Hitomi.” With that said Yasu let go of her arm and looked back to Kaylee, her eye softening just a bit.

The childs voice called out to Yasu as she threw her ninja pouch at Yasu. The young child caught it and looked at Kaylee with a large smile, giving her a thumbs up before she began sprinting after the other, as she ran she called out to Kaylee once more, “Thank you! Never give up!”

It was not the friendly demeanor went dark, her body shivering as she ran. ‘This is it…’ It no longer mattered if she died, she was willing to accept that to save others. In a way she thought less of Takuza at this moment, the fear he had of death. He signed his life over to the reaper he became a shinobi in her eyes, none the less he was still who got her pushing ahead, in that respect he was still an excellent shinobi. ‘I won’t let you down.’ The child’s body moved swiftly, her thoughts focused on only what lied ahead. ‘These bastards will pay for what they did to us…What they did to Konoha…I refuse to give up and sit on the sidelines. I am a shinobi fighting for my homeland and nothing will stop me.’ The Hatake’s brows furrowed in anger as she strapped Kaylee’s bag to her waist, never once stopping her motion. Now she had two pouches on her waist, but due to how light they were it wouldn’t slow her down. In one she had the remainder of her own supplies which consisted of smoke bombs (3), Makibishi (4) and the other eye of Takuza Uchiha. In Kaylees pouch there had been Kunai (9), Shuriken (4), some wire, Senbon (3), Paper bombs (5), Adrenaline Shots (6), and one chakra pill. In her other hand she held the dumpling Hitomi gave her, and as she ran she ate it quickly as she pulled her mask down for a brief second. Once the food was in her mouth she pulled the mask back up as she chewed and swallowed the food.



Soon she caught up to Kinshi and Kei, trailing behind them in a black blur, just a few feet as they made their way through the hallway. Yasu was ready for the next battle, no matter what happened. ‘Watashi wa akiramenai…’
