You're awake

"That's a pretty nice find, we will take this with us." told Yashiro, and hanged the scroll on his back with a piece of rope he took from interspatial scroll. Then the pair quickly skimmed through the scrolls and books on the shelves. "There's no point in reading all this, lets leave it to others to analyze it back in Konoha, we should push forward and look through more of this hideout.

Walking back to the hall they bumped into Kuro who finally caught up to the student and master pair. The trio decided to split up and search on their own.

Hideout turned out to be massive. All attempts to reach the end of the hideout turned up to uncover more and more rooms.

Soon 2 days passed and 2 more teams joined them in the hideout. The teams split up, one person from Yashiro's team always stayed in the outer cave as the lookout as well as keeping an eye on Inei, another person patrolled the outside of the cave while other 2 members mapped the cave.

Finally on the third they the finished mapping the cave. Once all traps were disposed off, they sent for medical ninja team to try to understand the experiments that were run in the hideout.

On the 4th day medical team arrived and headed into the hideout to record everything in the rooms for experimentation that couldn't be taken into interspatial scrolls that previous 2 teams used to clean every document they found.

With everything going on smoothly, Yashiro and Izumi left to check if 7-tails was still in the same place. Since hideout was taken care of they could still try to capture a tailed beast. Better have a beast in their hands than in enemy's.

But, seems like fate did not let Konoha have that tailed beast. Still, Yashiro and Izumi did not let time go to waste. They would be staying in that area for at least another week, so the pair started sparing and training during the day and patrol through the night in shifts.

On the 7th day Konoha shinobi found out another group of Amegakure heading through the forest, looking for their companions and 7-tailed beast. Yashiro decided not to waste time with them and left Amegakure group to do what they wanted to do, as long as they did not walk too close to the cave. Not finding anything worth they time Amegakure soon left the forest empty handed.

In that night, it was Yashiro's turn to patrol. He headed out of the cave and circled through his usual path around the cave. Full path took him about 30 minutes. Upon returning he sat down inside the cave and stared out to the moonlit forest outside.

In the silence of the night he clearly heard quiet rustles inside the cave. Without looking back "Seems like you are finally awake.". He stood up and walked to Inei. He crouched down and pulled her in a sitting position, letting her lean her back on the cave wall.

Inei followed the man with wary gaze. Seeing he did not hold any ill will towards her she relaxed a bit before looking around. Her eyes passed through the cave, only slowing down on the shadows of the sleeping figures of Konoha's shinobi. Finally she turned her gaze back to Yashiro "Where am I? What happened to me?" she asked with quiet raspy voice. Hearing her questions Yashiro first took out a bottle of water, holding it to Inei's dried up lips and letting her satisfy her thirst. "You were hit by 7-tails. It knocked you from the field and you landed close to this cave. My subordinate followed you, finding you alive he got you here and treated your wounds. It's been 7 days since that happened. You were unconscious this whole time, and since we found something in this cave we did not leave it yet." Yashiro calmly explained. "Who are you anyway?". Yashiro seemed to be prepared for young girls questions and patiently started conversing with her. "We're shinobi from Konohagakure. I'm sure you heard of it before. Konohagakure and Uzushiegakure were long time ago, namely the Senju and Uzumaki clan. That's also the reason we took care of you, young Uzumaki." "But I'm not Uzmaki." quickly butted in the young girl. "You might not be, but Uzumaki blood flows through your veins. Those chains you used when facing 7-tails. Only those of Uzumaki bloodline can use them. The reason why Amegakure used you is because Uzumaki clan was known for their strong and abundant chakra, long lives and most important reason, their skills with sealing techniques. That sealing technique you were attempting to use on the 7-tailed beast is one of Uzumaki clan's techniques. How Amegakure got their hands on it however, I do not know.". "My name is Yashiro Uchiha, so, can you tell me your name and how you ended up in Amegakure?".
