Naruto's expression changed from one of suspicion to one of revelation."I see...that's why you look so familiar..your that girl's mother!"Naruto declared.The woman nodded."Yes.That girl that you saved was my daughter."Hinata chose this moment to speak."Excse me....miss.."The woman turned to the white eyed child."Haruka.My name is Haruka."Hinata nodded lightly."Um...Ms. Haruka....could you tell us what happened?"Haruka looked depressed for a few seconds.Hinata noticed,and immediately started to apologize."Oh!I'm s-so sorry,Ms.Haruka!I didn't mean t-"Haruka raised her hand,signalling for Hinata to stop."You don't need to apologize...i need to tell you...especially if you were hired to help us get rid of the Red Dragons."Sasuke's interest was piqued at that."Red Dragons?Who are they?"He asked,leaning against the wall.Haruka sighed."I guess...i should explain everything from the beginning....she took a seat between naruto and Jaraiya."It all started a couple of months ago.back when the village still prospered...that day in particular,was the celebration Osaku Village holds every ten years.Thecelebration was for the day the vilaage was founded,and everyone was preparing for the festival later that night.
My husband,Jiro,was actually the leader of the village,so he was in charge of the enire thing,and everything was going really well,until..."Haruka clenched her fists dangerously."Until they came."
She spat with venom."During the celebration,a large group of them raide the village,killing many of the citizens in the process.Jiro,along with some of the villagers managed to force them out,but in the process....Jiro had been kidnapped."She paused,a few tears escaping her face."My daugher and i tried to form search parties,but everyone was too scared to leave the safety of their own homes.So me and mei,once a week,would go looking by ourselved.However,after about a month or so,they came back.They raided a second time,and without Jiro,nobody tried to stop them.And afterwards....."More tears fell from the woman's eyes."He was....they executed him,right in front of us..."
The trio's eyes widened in shock."They executed him.....just to crush this place's will..."Naruto growled,shivering violently with rage.Haruka continued."Afterwards,the village.died.They lost hope,their will to fight back.But my daughter kept trying.Mei kept trying to rally the village,to take a stand.But nobody would listen.She was just a little girl who didn't understand,in their eyes...so a few days ago she left on her own.I'm guessing she was beaten by the dragons,and left in the woods..."
Haruka's eyes hardened,and she bowed."So please...take a stand with my daughter and restore the will of our village!i beg of you!"Naruto abruptly stood,and made his way to the door."Naruto,where are you going?"Naruto turned to hinata,looking her in the eyes."I'm going to save these people...and show them....."He tightened his headband."That if you try hard enough,and never give up..."He turned back to the door."You can do anything!"Hinata smiled,Sasuke smirked,and Haruka stared wide-eyed at the blonde.Those eyes.....their the same eyes as Jiro's....this boy...maybe he can save the village!
