The Red Flames

Chapter 13

I don't own Naruto, the images or the music!

I was now at the front gates of Konoha so I decided to teleport to the Hokage's tower and then knocked at Tsunade's office door.

- Come in. – Tsunade said.

I came in and saw that Otou-san, Sakura, Sai and a frog were there.

- H-Hotaru. – they all said.

- Hello...it's been a while. – I said emotionless.

They were all looking at me with pity in their eyes.

- Hotaru... - Tsunade started.

- Save it...I know about Jiraiya-sensei already. I came here with a different purpose...I came here to report something. – I said.

- What is it? – Tsunade asked.

- Uchiha Itachi...is dead. – I said fighting back tears.

They all widened their eyes while I stayed cold.

- That means... - Sakura started.

- Sasuke did it...regarding him coming back to Konoha I don't know that yet. I left the battle scene as soon as it ended. – I said.

Suddenly Otou-san hugged me but I didn't respond to it...I just stood there...it hurts so much...all of this...both my senseis are dead and I couldn't do anything to stop it.
Otou-san stopped hugging me and then Tsunade spoke.

- Leave...I want to talk with Hotaru...alone. – Tsunade said.

Sakura, Sai and the frog left.

- Kakashi...you too. – Tsunade said.

- No, I'm not leaving her again. I can't. – Otou-san said.

- It's okay Tsunade-sama. He should see this anyway. – I said.

- Fine. Hotaru...did he do it? – Tsunade asked me.

I nodded and she came towards me.

- Does it hurt? – she asked looking at my eyes.

- A bit, not as much as it did when the transfer happened though. – I answered.

She putted her hand above my eyes and started to heal so the pain would go away.

- It is completely, is the pain fading away now? – she asked.

- Yes, thank you Tsunade-sama. – I said and she looked at me with pity.

- What transfer? What did it hurt? – Otou-san asked confused.

- Otou-san... - I said.

He then looked at me and I activated the sharingan which made him widened his eyes.

- H-How? – Otou-san asked.

- Itachi transferred his eye powers to her. – Tsunade said.

- B-But why? – Otou-san asked.

Tsunade looked at me.

- You'll find out when it's time. Now if you excuse me...I have to go and find Naruto before I leave to see how Sasuke is doing and what he wants to do now.

They nodded and I teleported to where Naruto was.
I was now behind him.

- Nii-san. – I said quietly.
