12 She is your responsibility

*05.37 pm. Hokage tower.

We arrive at the Hokage tower. "Yo secretary-san, Is Hokage expecting me?" I ask the desk lady. "Well you're a lot earlier and have more company than the Hokage except you to come." The lady said.

"Okay then. Should I just go in?" I ask. "Yes." She said shooing me.

I Knock the door.

*Knock

*knock

*knock

"Come in" Hiruzen said from the other side of the door.

I walk in followed by the boys from behind. Inside the room I see Kakashi was standing on the corner reading his icha-icha.

"I thought you would come tomorrow Sasuke-kun" Hiruzen said. I feel more people chakra coming this way. 'Did I came here today make hokage call some sort emergency meeting.'

"I'm sorry for intruding this evening Hokage-sama. I assume Kakashi-sensei had tell you about the Uzumaki that I discovered." I said.

"Yes, It is indeed a little surprising. So what did you intend to do with the Uzumaki? Depending on your answer I will consider it." Hiruzen make decisive question from the start.

"Her name is Uzumaki Karin. She was a kunoichi from Kusagakure. I said was because right now she will be under me, Uchiha Sasuke protection. I will be the guarantor if she is a Spy or Danger to the Village. She doesn't have family anymore and she willingly leave Kusagakure." I said.

"Then what if Kusagakure demand her back?" Hiruzen ask.

"I already think of that. The jonin that came here escorting the Kusa Shinobi have already returned to Kusagakure before the exam start. As for her teammate they already cease to exist. As long she doesn't show up for a few months Infront of any Kusa they will think she dead with her teammate." I said.

"That a good point. What do you think Kakashi?" Hiruzen ask Kakashi in the corner. Kakashi put down the book. "I think Sasuke has taken care of everything that's there for this Karin to stay at Konoha. I think it's okay to let her stay in Konoha." Kakashi said helping me. I give him a Gai thumb up and smile.

"Well that conclude the topic of The Uzumaki." I interrupt him. "Wait, Hokage-sama. I have a question." I said. "You may ask Sasuke-kun." Hiruzen said. "Will you give her an apartment like Naruto or Will she be staying at my compound?" I ask hoping he will give her an apartment.

"You said before she will be under your protection, So she will stay at your compound obviously" Hiruzen said. 'Damn me and my mouth.' "It's seems they here. Let's get to the meeting room first." Hiruzen said and walk to the side door.

We follow him, on the other side of the door are people that I feel coming here before. There are Ino-shika-cho Senior. Shino's Father. Kiba's mother. Hinata's Father. Some jonin I don't know. Two old fossil, Former teammate of Hiruzen. And one armed cyclops Danzo.

Shikamaru and Choji walk to their father as they call them. "Now this meeting is called many reasons. One of it is because Orochimaru attack at the Chunin exam three days ago. We have the victim here Uchiha Sasuke to give his testimony on the accident." Hiruzen said.

I shocked at the purpose of this meeting. I don't ever remember something like this happen with me, Sasuke here. "Uchiha Sasuke can you recount the event that happened in the Forest of dead." Hiruzen said.

"Hai, Hokage-sama. ....." I tell the story from when Orochimaru come and leave.

".... that how I got the curse mark and Naruto to make the evil containment. With this seal as long as my will stay strong enough this little tattoo won't be hindering me." I finished my story. "From your story it seems Orochimaru is interested in sharingan." Shikaku said.

"What can I said. All of the Uchiha was killed leaving me and my brother only. We are Rare species" I said, looking at the Hokage.

"We should get anbu operative to protect Uchiha Sasuke." One of the fossil said. "We need to protect the last Uchiha." The other one followed up.

"Hatake Kakashi, I will leave Uchiha Sasuke protection to you." Hiruzen said in decisive tone leaving no discussion. "This close the topic of Orochimaru attack. You genin is dismissed." Hiruzen said. He told us to leave the room. I get out. Naruto followed. Shikamaru and Choji was told to wait for their father outside the Hokage room.

"Let's go back Naruto." I said. "Teme. If Kakashi is protecting you what happened to me and Sakura trainings for the exam?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe Kakashi will get you a different sensei to train you. Who know what was he thinking behind all those face covering." I said. Naruto thinking what kind of sensei will he be getting.

"It's getting darker. Let's buy a take away food for the girls at home." I said. Naruto nodded.

*A few moments later.

We arrive at my house. We walked inside. There are three girl laughing playing Jenga. There are card to on the side too. "We bought food. Let's eat dinner." I said.

"Where is Shikamaru and Choji?" Ino ask. I walk to the kitchen. "Their father tell them to wait at hokage tower for them to finish some meeting." Naruto said. I prepared the table. The girls come inside the kitchen and helping me prepare.

"What happened in the discussion with hokage?" Sakura ask. "Well Karin can live in Konoha. I will gave her a small house in this compound to stay. As hokage throw every responsibility of Karin to me." I said.

"Well you two can stay there too with her. If you get your parents permission that is. Naruto too, if you want to move to one of the house in my compound I will let you live in a house. Just ask your Jiji for permission." I continue.

'Yeah this is good actually, This compound is big but empty. But renting to unknown people is a no.'

After eating our fill, Naruto, Sakura and Ino say their farewell. Leaving me and Karin at the house.

"Here a few thousand Ryo, Enough for you to live frugal live for a month. I think I will go away from the village for a month with my sensei for training. Preparing for Chunin Exam." I said handing her a Stack of money. I walk to my room and getting ready to sleep.

"Good night Sasuke-kun" Karin said. "Yeah goodnight to you too." I answered her. I shut my door and get to sleep.
