Naruto’s POV 

‘Who… are you?’

The words resonated within my mind for what seemed like hours.

“E-Eh…? Shizuku-chan…?” Sakura stuttered.

Shizuku blinked, “M-My name… I-Is not S-Shizuku…” She said slowly.

Captain Yamato walked forward, “Uchiha Shizuku, you are under arrest for treason, deflecting from the village and many other crimes. Come with us silently.”

Inari and Tsunami jumped in front of her, “Wait! What are you talking about?!” Inari yelled.

Sai smiled, “Uchiha Shizuku. A-Rank missing ninja of the Konoha.”

Tsunami shook her head, “No! You have it all wrong! We found her in the woods, she couldn’t remember anything at all!”

Captain Yamato scoffed, “That could easily be faked.”

Inari huffed, “We had to teach her everything! How to talk, how to eat, how to write, everything! We even named her because she couldn’t remember her own name!”

Sakura stepped forward unsure, “But she looks exactly like the Shizuku we know!”

Shizuku looked down at herself, “I-I don’t know you…”

Sakura froze, “She’s lying.” She trembled.

I gulped, “Shizuku-chan… You remember me right? Right?”

Shizuku looked at me, her blank eyes looked at me up and down, “I-I don’t know you…”

Captain Yamato appeared behind her and instantly knocked her out.

“What are you doing?!” Inari yelled.

Captain Yamato picked her up and looked at him, “I think we should cancel the mission, to take Shizuku back.”

“But she isn’t this Shizuku girl!” Tsunami shouted.

Captain Yamato shook his head, “According to the reports, Shizuku has faked memory loss more than once, she is definitely Uchiha Shizuku, Uchiha Sasuke’s sister.”

Tsunami and Inari froze, “She’s Sasuke’s sister?”

He nodded, “Yes, they both left the village, and since there have been no reports of sighting of Shizuku, it is determined that she was with you for the whole time, how long has she been with you?”

“F-For about 4 months…” Tsunami said.

Captain Yamato nodded, “That’s the same amount of time that Shizuku hasn’t been sighted. This girl is her.”

Inari crossed his arms, “I’m disappointed in you Naruto-nii!” He yelled at me. I froze and put my head down. “Kidnapping an innocent girl! I thought you Konoha ninja were better than that! I was mistaken!”

Tsunami shook her head, “When Otou-san hears about this…”

Inari clenched his teeth, “…leave…”

“What?” Sai asked.

Inari looked up in anger, “You’re not allowed to leave! I’m not going to be separated from Mitsuko-chan! Finish your mission!”

Captain Yamato sighed, “Well, there has been those ninja, I suppose we can stay and sort things out.”

Tsunami nodded, “Good.”

The door suddenly opened and closed. “I’m home!”

A large figure came through the door, “Oh! Well if it isn’t Sakura and Naruto!”

“Hi Otou-san…” Tsunami muttered.

Tazuna looked at Captain Yamato and blinked, “Why are you carrying Mitsuko?”

Captain Yamato sighed, “Because she isn’t Mitsuko, her real name is-“

“SHUT UP!” We turned to Inari. “Just shut up!” He stomped towards Captain Yamato and snatched Shizuku out of his hands, stumbling a little, he carried her upstairs, when did he get so strong? I heard the door slam and Tsunami looked at us with anger in her eyes that I never had seen before.

“I hope you’re proud of yourselves.” She spat in disgust and walked upstairs.

Tazuna blinked, “I have a feeling I missed something.”

I was about to say something when Captain Yamato shook his head and said, “No, not really, but who was that girl?”

Tazuna put his stuff down and sat down, “The girl? Mitsuko, we found her in the woods, she didn’t know how to talk, walk, eat, or do anything really.”

Captain Yamato nodded, “Well, she is a A-Rank missing ninja from Konoha, her real name is Uchiha Shizuku.”

Tazuna blinked at him, then suddenly began to laugh, “Aha! Ninja! Mitsuko is not a ninja! She’s far too clumsy for that!”

Sakura stared at him, “But…”

Tazuna shook his head, “You are mistaken, the whole village knows Mitsuko, and we all know she doesn’t have one threatening bone in her body, she can’t even kill a fly without calling for Inari’s help. The possibilities of Mitsuko being a ninja, and A-Rank, is zero.”

Sai chuckled, “She is definitely Uchiha Shizuku though.”

Tazuna blinked, “Wait, Uchiha?”

I nodded, “She’s Sasuke’s sister.”

Tazuna laughed, “Well, she may have the eyes and the hair, but she isn’t related to him at all, Mitsuko actually shows emotion, when she knows how to express it.”

Sai tilted his head, “When she know how to express it?”

Tazuna nodded, “I told you, she didn’t know anything, not even how to express emotion, we had to show her expressions.” He chuckled. “It was so terribly difficult.”

Sakura swallowed, “Captain Yamato, I don’t think it’s her…”

Yamato glared at her, “Sakura.”

I looked at Yamato, “But Captain Yamato, we could at least spy on her for a couple of days...”

Sai smiled, “We could see if she cracks.”

I glared at him, "Piss off Sai, no one likes you."

Sakura cleared her throat to cover herself from laughing.

Sakura put a hand on my shoulder, "We have to know Naruto, if she's faking again, or if it’s not her."

I looked at her, "What if it is her, but she doesn't actually remember anything this time, for real?"

Captain Yamato laughed, "And why would Orochimaru do that?"

I shrugged, "How am I meant to know?! I don't understand what goes through that snake bastard’s head do I?!"

"Naruto." Sakura warned me.

"Fine, FINE!" I snapped at her.

She put her hands up in defence, "What the hell did I do?! Why are you getting angry at me?!"

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "Whatever."

I clenched my fists, ‘Shizuku… Is it really you?’

3rd POV

Inari looked down at Mitsuko’s sleeping face, he clenched his fists and teeth.

“Mitsuko…” He muttered. She wasn’t this Uchiha Shizuku girl that the Konoha Ninja were saying she was. She couldn’t have been an A-Rank Missing Ninja. She couldn’t have been a killer. “What idiots…” The Konoha ninja were wrong. Obviously.

“Inari…” He heard suddenly.

He jerked his head up and didn’t noticed that there were tears sliding down his cheeks.

“Mitsuko-chan…” He whispered.

Big black eyes stared back at him with question.

“Inari… why are you crying?” Mitsuko asked him, a bit of panic in her voice. Not knowing how to make him stop crying.

Inari looked at her with tears and instantly hugged Mitsuko.

Mitsuko looked flustered for a couple of seconds, until she sighed with a small smile and patted his back. Inari slowly pulled back and sat on his chair in silence.

Mitsuko bit her lip, “Inari… I don’t understand what is going on, who were those people downstairs?”

Inari clenched his fists, “Those people were the ninja’s from the photo, Naruto, Sakura, and I don’t know the other two. They said you were Sasuke’s, the other one from the photo, sister, her name was Uchiha Shizuku. And then they said that you were a criminal who ran away from the village with him.”

Mitsuko blinked and held her head, “I don’t know Inari, I can’t remember. I’m sorry.”

Inari looked up at her and shook his head, “No, they are wrong, you aren’t a criminal.”

Mitsuko frowned, “But-“

“No, you aren’t, I don’t care that you can’t remember anything, you aren’t a person like that, you can’t do anything dangerous, or threatening, you just can’t.” Inari shook his head.

Mitsuko lowered her head, “Thank you… Inari…”

Inari stared at Mitsuko and sighed, ruffling her black hair and chuckling. “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” He then stood up and started walking to the door, “I’m going downstairs, you should just stay up here, so call me if you need anything.” Mitsuko smiled and nodded as Inari left.

Mitsuko sighed and flung herself down onto the bed, covering her eyes with her arm.

‘Who were they…? Did they know me? Did I know them? Is my name Uchiha Shizuku? So many unanswered questions…’ She lay on her side and looked at her hand. ‘Am I… A criminal?’ She clenched her hand.

“I’m so confused…” She muttered.

‘That blonde boy, looked at me like… like… Inari said his name was… Naruto.’

“…Na…ru…to. Naruto.” She was astonished at how easily she said the name, like her mouth knew what she was going to say, what the word was, what the name was.

Who was this person?

Suddenly, her brain throbbed and she jerked upwards and let out a cry of pain, clutching her head tightly, her eyes wide and her pupils went small. Sweat trickled down her cheeks and she collapsed onto the floor, trying to get to the door, pulling herself to the wooden doorway.

She let out another scream of pain and her eyes teared up, flowing freely down her cheeks.

“Mitsuko?!” She heard a shout.

‘I-I-INARI!!!!’ She thought, her mouth was dry and she couldn’t form a sentence.

Her brain throbbed another time, she let another cry out, sobbing.

“AHHHHH!!!!!!!!” She screamed.

She pulled herself to the stairs and tumbled down, adding more pain to her whole body as she slammed to the bottom of the staircase.

“Mitsuko!” She heard Tsunami shout.

The pain was too much, her brain felt like it was about to explode, she just wanted it to stop.

‘Don’t remember!”

Her breaths became short quick intakes and she finally noticed that she started hyperventilating, her eyes too teary to see around her, when she heard a voice.

‘It’sssss only going to hurt more if you try to remember!”

“G-G-G-GYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!” She screamed, her voice frantic and in pain. She rolled around on the floor and her body twitched and curled up into a ball, her hands will clutching her head.

“MITSUKO!” She heard multiple shouts, Inari, Tazuna and Tsunami.

“Shizuku!” She heard another shout, a male.

“Her name isn’t Shizuku!” Inari yelled at the male.

‘SSSSSTOP TRYING TO REMEMBER!’

She couldn’t, she didn’t know how, the pain was too much, but the only thing other than was an image.

'No... I DON'T KNOW HIM!'

But she knew she was in denial, her brain messed things up, but her heart thought about it, and knew.

'Na...ru...to...'

'SSSSSTOP REMEMBERING!'

The last thing she saw in her brain was the image of blonde locks of hair that seemed like they were from the sun itself.

‘Heh, Shizuku-chan…’

Everything stopped, her body and mind were numb, her arms dropped, she fell against the stairs and her eyes gazed at the ceiling.

That’s when it all went black.
