Why do I have to try? [Part-25]

'If you really wanted me to rest then you should leave too... *Sigh*

I'll have to make sure to keep my story in check. If they want to see my memories then I'll just have to show them this body's memories instead of mine.

Oh well, I'm sure that Matatabi would be able to help me out with that. Hopefully Tobirama-san is done soon. Although my chakra is replenished it's not really enough for more than an hour.'

Veronica looked at the people present once more before putting on her mask once again.

"Do you remember eating anything given to you by someone... Let's say, a stranger?"-Hokage

'The fuck-'

Veronica was slightly surprised by the question and she could feel her face show that. Calming down again, she quietly wrote down her response.

"I see. Well, did you speak with a stranger for the whole week?"-Hokage

'He probably thinks that someone fed me something which resulted in this. The doctors must've found something. But... This... No, it's too early to jump to conclusions right now.'

"Did you meet with a person with bandages over one of their eyes?"

'Danzo. I'm guessing that he must have done something.

Did he try to kill me? Or recruit me into ROOT? The hokage must have found something about me, which made him want to get involved this time or he must have been compelled to do so. He didn't get involved when all the other children were reported missing so...'

Veronica didn't care if she was bluntly asking the Hokage to leave her alone. Right now, she wanted some time to think of what all was going on.

"You can just call me jiji like Naruto does. Now then, one last thing before we leave. You'll be staying with Kakashi again."-Hokage

The hokage had a fond smile on his face while Kakashi tried to not be a socially awkward person. The Hokage spared her a glance which she pretended not to notice.

'Tch. None of this is making sense.

This is why I was afraid of making changes to the series... Now I don't know what's going to happen and what is happening. Ugh. Maybe I should've laid low till at least graduation.'

Plastering on a very excited and happy face, Veronica reached out her hands in front of Kakashi. He hesitantly hugged her.

{This would've been such an emotional moment if you weren't acting.}-???

The voice seemed a bit sarcastic. It was as though she could see it smiling amusedly.

It was a voice which made her freeze in fear.

Absolute fear.

Her expression and mind were completely frozen as she desperately wanted for that voice to just be her imagination.

*Courage, deep heart.*

"Veronica? Are you ok?"-Kakashi

"Of course."-Kakashi

He either ignored the fact that she said she didn't she was fine or didn't care right now. She herself didn't know whether she should feel glad at that.

Veronica looked up and was shocked to see flowers and sunshine behind Kakashi. She blinked a few times and just hugged him tightly and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

He held her like a new born baby which sort of weirded out the other two adults in the room before they shrugged it off and went on their merry way.

"I'll go and get your stuff back settled in."-Kakashi

He left soon after.

Veronica blankly stared at the door as her face showed absolutely no sign of her racing mind which had forgotten-

No, she ignored that terrifying voice.

'Something's wrong. Something is very wrong. The Hokage, heck even Kakashi, knows something. This is so frustrating!!! I can't tell what these guys are thinking. For all I know, they could know about me having a kekkai genkai. Maybe they know that this body is from kumogakure. No, it'll be impossible for them to track this body that far back. Kumo has already probably covered up anything about me by now.

The hokage does have that crystal ball of his though. I'll need to lay low for a while. Only when I'm sure that he isn't spying on me I can move around safely.'
