Friend Or Foe?

Rikuto Natsuki and Riko Uchiha

Riko's POV

I was walking with my sister when these shinobi came into the village. "More shinobi? Riko, don't you think we have enough conflict outside the leaf? We're in the middle of war. We shouldn't have time to be housing more shinobi of other lands." I sighed at my sister. "You know, I'm sure Fugaku would say different. Itachi could have a perfect suitor from another land with all these shinobi. Who knows, these shinobi could have prodigy children." Mikoto was glaring at her sister. "Itachi has suffered enough living through this war so far and he's only a baby! He shouldn't have to worry about suitors at this age! Maybe you should worry about a husband to carry on your lineage in the Uchiha." I sighed at her. She could be irritating sometimes. An anbu came behind me. "Riko Uchiha, you have been requested by the Hokage." I nodded and sighed. He was gone in the blink of an eye. "The Hokage wishes to see me, bye Miko." I waved my goodbye to her as I ran off to the Hokage office. I bowed down to him. "Yes lord fourth?" I looked up at him to notice two others in the room. "Riko, I am sending you on a mission with these two from the land of snow. You three are to get into the land of rain and bring back Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru. They are in need of assistance at the moment. Go quickly." We nodded taking off. When we got into the rain village we had stopped to let ourselves rest. "I assume lord fourth has given one of you the scroll to out assignment?" They both looked at each other and nodded. The one with longer white hair pulled out a scroll. "Here, these are the contents of the mission." I took the scroll reading it. I nodded and burnt it. We are to aid the three in what ever they are doing and end the war in this country. "Alright, how long are you guys staying in the leaf?" The one with shorter white hair spoke up. "For a while. We don't know how long exactly. Until we're called back to our village really." I nodded at him. These guys are part of the Natsuki clan. I'll have to keep an eye on them. With my sharingan I can use them at any given moment. "Don't get any ideas Uchiha, there are two of us here and I won't have you playing your little eye tricks on my brother. We can easily take the upper hand." I shook my head. "Don't worry, I have no intention of taking over either of you with my Sharingan." I got up and looked out of the cave. "Lets move out." They nodded and we left. Not much happened on the mission. The three now Sanin were on their way back when we got to them. Rikuto was a clumsy fellow and his brother was very strict. I sighed in content when we got back. "See you two later." They looked at me as if I was nuts. "What?" I looked at them questionably. "You have to come back with us to report the mission." I sighed in annoyance. "Can't she you two do this yourselves? You're grown men for pity sakes." I sighed as we entered the Hokage's office. Once it was reported in was stopped once again but by the Hokage. "Riko, these two will be staying with you and your family in the Uchiha compound. It's your responsibility to make sure non of the Uchiha get any ideas am I understood?" I groaned in agitation. I started ruffling my hair and threw my foot down along with my hands. "Come on! We just got back from a mission! These two are perfectly capable of handling themselves! Lord fourth wouldn't my sister be more suitable to watch over them seeing as how her husband is the head of the police division!?" The two moved away from me a bit from my outburst. "No Riko. That is exactly why I chose you. I don't exactly trust your sister and her husband. You will keep them under your roof in the compound and watch them. They will go back in two weeks." I sighed in defeat. "Yes lord fourth." "You know very well what parts of this to keep secret am I correct?" I nodded. "Yes sir." He nodded smiling switching his mood from serious to a happy joyful mood. "Good, then you shall be on your way then." I nodded walking out. The two followed me as I left. I walked down to the compound when my sister ran to me. "Riko! Your home!" She tackled me to the ground and the boys just stared at us. "Welcome home!" I pat her on the back and smiled gently. "Hi Miko, how's Itachi doing?" She got up not noticing the two and grabbed my wrist dragging me fast. "You've got to come see him! He's the cutest thing I've ever seen! He's playing with his father right now!" I sweat dropped and followed her as the other two shrugged and followed as well. The poor boys just followed us where ever I went. We stopped in a room where itachi was sleeping with a stuffed dinosaur in his father's lap. "He's so cute." I heard Rikuto say behind us before he ran over to Fugaku and crouched down next to him. Fugaku looked at us confused. "He's with me." He nodded and Rikuto held his arms out. "May I hold him please?" Fugaku nodded handing Itachi to him carefully as to not wake him. This guy is really weird I'll give him that, but he is really interesting with kids. He stared at Itachi in aw as he rocked him gently. Mikoto watched them happily. "Maybe you should get with him Riko, he seems to be really good with kids." I shook my head. "You know it is forbidden to marry a Natsuki Mikoto, unless the fourth arranges it they cannot be married." Fugaku spoke. So he's a Natsuki just by looking at them? Mikoto sighed in defeat. "Your going to die a single woman unless you change your ways Riko. Look at you, your a noble woman. Who wouldn't want you?" We all looked at my sister as if she were stupid. She started crying in a corner. "My poor sister is going to die a single woman who hasn't even had her first kiss." My mouth dropped and I decided it was time to go. I took Itachi from Rikuto gently and gave him back to his father. I dragged the two boys out and we went to my part of the compound. "You have one crazy sister." I sighed rubbing my temples as we walked. "You have no idea." I stopped in front of a door. "This is your room. My room is next to it if you need anything. Go ahead and make yourselves at home.
