Chapter 15: Chapter 15
Sunagakure Hospital
While Chiyo was diagnosing the two kids that was brought by Pakura
"What's wrong Chiyo-sama?" Pakura asked, clearly seeing the faraway look in her eye.
It was strong… not strong enough to paralyze an enemy with fear, but I could feel it irradiating off of her.
This girl is no ordinary kid. In that red eye he could see the depths of her feelings as if it was a real mirror to her soul. She saw the anger, the pain, the sadness, the growing hatred and the intent to kill him if he didn't let go of the boy.
"The killing intent that came off of her was strong… She would have tried to destroy me if she had the strength and chakra to attack."
Concern filled Pakura eyes as she looked down at the girl in her arms. The look wasn't because Pakura feared for her own safety.
She was worried about the kid, worried that she would turn into someone who enjoyed hurting others. She'll need to be watched until we know her intentions and her personality better.
"For now she'll need to see the doctors while we talk to the Kazekage about her."
This girl and that boy was going to be one of the rarest cases the village was going to have next to the boy with the One-Tailed Tanuki sealed in him.
Time would tell if that would be a good thing.
*********
He watched the girl through the one-way glass pane on the wall. She slept on the bed, looking like she was finally at peace. Sunlight streamed on her face, drawing curves of shadows and light on the incredibly young visage.
She couldn't have been more than four, he thought. A child, only just starting to bud into something more. There were places still on the planes of her face, and its softness was at once attractive and inviting to him.
"Yondaime Kazekage-sama." Someone called.
He didn't need to turn around to know who it was from the sheer tone alone. There was always a definite lack of respect for his official title in Chiyo of the Elder's voice. Just as well since the retired counselor was already his great grand mother's age and had seen him since he was a snot-nosed genin. He supposed it was difficult to allocate the appropriate reverence to one who would always be a little kid in her eyes.
"Is that the one?"
He nodded imperceptibly, eyes still focused on the girl on the other side of the glass pane. She was still unconscious maybe because of her exhausted state, her breathing was stable and later, maybe she will wake up sooner. That peaceful face made her appear even younger, almost childish but hearing the terrifying reports made him still cautious.
The shinobi in him disapproved. He had many orphans of the same age, kunoichi who faced twice the dangers their shinobi comrades did on the burden of their gender alone. In the world of ninja, such… innocence… invited disasters. Remembering his youngest son who couldn't even control his powers give a bad taste in his mouth.
"Doesn't look like much," commented Chiyo.
"They never do," he said in reply as he turned away and faced Chiyo in full. " Kekkei Genkai are naturally deceiving in appearance. It's the quiet ones, the least visible ones that are always the most dangerous. A little child may pose the greatest threat. The burliest brute may be the most brittle link of a chain. Such differences are difficult to tell, but they are the ones that decide who will come out the victors on the battlefield. Has the council come to a decision?"
"Maybe… when I'm finally dead," was the answer. "Those bickering idiots always like to draw out on decisions too big for them to handle." Then she turned on him. "What are you doing waiting for them to make your decision for you? Are you not Kazekage, brat? I hope I do not need to tell you the true worth of this girl's power."
The true worth of her power? He glanced at the girl on the side of the glass pane. Yes. That was something he also wanted to know.
"That is… if the reports on what she can do hold true." He said simply.
This Nameless girl, because even now we do not know what is her real name. He thought to himself, silently going over what little they had managed to glean off the records and the people who had been spending time with the girl. Discovered near the village gate exactly a day prior. At first we assumed her to be one of our lost citizens or a merchant who got lost on the Desert routes.
She was taken in and given the requisite treatment for desert-stranded subjects, as per the village policy. Once her records and fingerprints were checked against the archives however, it turned out that she was not one of ours. She had no documents nor traces on her person indicative of her origin as an outsider.
Then came the anomaly. When checked with border patrol teams, we found no reports nor sightings of any entrants passed the border even resembling the subject. Due to the open nature of the border surrounding Kaze no Kuni as well as the vast desert that made up the bulk of the nation terrain, border patrol teams all had at least one sensor in their roster and, when combined, the number and range of the sensors should always cover the entirety of the borderline, ensuring that the teams would always get prior notice on any unreported entries.
Even in the case that someone… or something managed to slip past the patrol perimeter, they would have been discovered at one among the many mountain pass choke points surrounding the village. The fact that even the teams at these choke points couldn't pick up on their presence until they was right in front of the village gate can only mean that this Village has really weakened ever since the Sandaime Kazekage-sama.
