Chapter 23 edited
It was the day of Naruto's birthday and Lucy was running around making sure everything was ready, she had asked Iruka to distract him because it was a Saturday and he had no academy classes on. Lucy was currently baking his cake, she's spent all day trying to make it look like a bowl of ramen, with the chopsticks dangling noodles out of the bowl. Placing it into a carrier bag once she'd finished she started making her way over to Naruto's place with an extra bag of decorations and candles, she had to break in through Naruto's window because the door was locked and she didn't have a key. Lucy's lucky that Naruto is stupid or she'd never have gotten in. By the time everything was ready Lucy sent one of her tigers that decided to be a messenger, to Iruka to tell him that everything was all set. Iruka sent her one back saying that he'll send Naruto home after he's finished eating so Lucy closed the curtains and turned off the lights to wait for Naruto to return home. After an hour of waiting Lucy grew worried so she went to go find Iruka and saw him walking out of a weapons store, "Iruka wait," Lucy called out and ran to a stop in front of him,
"Ahh, Lucy I was just about to drop by to give Naruto his present. I didn't want to before in case it ruined the surprise. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Naruto?" Iruka said to her and Lucy grew even more concerned,
"You mean he's not with you?" Iruka's smile turned into a frown as she slowly shook his head,
"I'll look around to training grounds and in the forest," Lucy announced quickly thinking,
"I'll search the town," Iruka said and they both ran off to look for the blonde, birthday boy.
Lucy was running through the forest and heightened her senses, hearing shouts from in the distance she headed in that direction. Jumping from tree to tree, through the thick forest, avoiding branches and leaves. Lucy finally made it to where the endless shouting was coming from and was she saw brought tears to her eyes.
Naruto was on the ground all bloodied up and bruised, people that she recognised from the village were surrounding him. Throwing things and shouting horrible words. Lucy could hear her heart thumping, feeling the vibrations all the way to her ears then when she saw a man grab a whip she, her body moved on its own. She threw herself on Naruto and took the hit, her back stung and she felt a breeze on her stinging wound. The area became quiet and Naruto slightly looked up to see Lucy looking down at him,
"Are you okay, Naruto?" Lucy asked quietly, trying not to show him that she was in any pain when he nodded his head, his eyes full of surprise and wonder and she relaxed. Lucy stood up and took a deep breath, never had she felt such anger towards anyone, not even Orochimaru. Lucy clenched her fists to prevent her from lashing out and she turned around to face the crowd that was still staring at her. They all gasped when they saw her face, or more specifically her eyes. They were glowing a bright gold, her pupils had turned into stars and she had a vein at the side of each eye clearly visible. Lucy, however, did not notice this, she was too angry.
"What do you all think you're doing?" Lucy demanded of the crowd, some of them flinched at her tone but none of them looked regretful of what they've done, "I asked you a question," she yelled out when no one answered her. The man that had attempted to whip Naruto stepped forward,
"We were getting our revenge, why did you get in the way?" He yelled angrily, his spit flying everywhere and everyone nodded in agreement with his words. All this did was make her angrier,
"What exactly did he do so wrong? Huh? What could a little boy possibly do to all of you?" Lucy questioned by this point Naruto had passed out in exhaustion,
"That demon took our families from us, it took our loved ones and it needs to be killed," the man yelled out and everyone started to get loud again and yell at Naruto who couldn't hear anything because he's still out cold,
"He is not the monster here it's all of you," Lucy shouted out as tears of frustration started to build in her eyes, "Your anger is so misguided that's it's turned you all into the demon that you so despise, this boy has done nothing wrong. He is a victim just like the rest of you, I know losing your loved ones hurt and you want some type of closure but this is no way to do it," Lucy's tears started to fall, "all this is going to do is make you just as bad if not worse than the thing that took your loved ones away. Please don't make this lonely boy suffer because of it, he's lost loved ones too. Loved ones that he didn't even get the chance to know," as Lucy cried for Naruto everyone was silently staring at the girl who looked so angry before but it was like that anger never existed and for most of the crowd their anger melted into tears as well. They cried for their misguided actions, their lost loved ones and for the boy that had to endure it all. However, some were still angry and not just at the boy any longer. They were mad at Lucy for not letting them get their revenge,
"That demon needs to pay, I won't let you stand in the way of all my hard work," the man that had done all of the talking before shouted, some murmurs of agreement were heard but significantly less than before. It was at this moment that Naruto began to wake up, still, with tears running down her face Lucy shouted,
"His name is Naruto Uzumaki and he works harder than anybody," Naruto looked up at Lucy surprised and with tears in his eyes. Lucy turned around and hooked one of Naruto's arms around her shoulder and jumped off towards the hospital. His injuries were too severe for her to heal them herself but once she got to the hospital they refused to heal him, no matter how hard she pleaded they would just look at Naruto in disgust and refused to treat him.
"Please treat the boy, Shizuka," Lucy heard a familiar old voice from behind her and the nurse that she was currently arguing with scrambled to get a room ready. Lucy turned around and saw the Hokage without his usual pipe staring at Naruto in sorrow, once the brunette nurse came back with a gurney Lucy placed Naruto onto it and saw it go into a room not too far from where she was standing. Sighing Lucy sat down on a nearby chair and slowly took some deep breaths, she still wasn't relaxed and she probably wouldn't be until she hears something about Naruto's condition.
Lucy heard someone sit in a chair beside her and looked over to see the Hokage looking older than she has ever seen him, "they are more aggressive on this day, October 10th," he spoke and Lucy sat silently looking at him, "I believe that my actions are the cause of their hatred. I ordered the older generation to never speak of the events that took place that night. Naruto doesn't even know about the Nine-tails," Lucy stared at him blankly, indeed that was probably the wrong thing to do,
"You're probably right, you made a mistake and now Naruto is paying for it," Lucy bluntly said and the Hokage looked down. He didn't expect her to be so forthright, he thought that she would try to be kind about it, "so what are you going to do now?" Lucy asked him and he looked at her, he was surprised by her question, "you're sitting here wallowing in self-pity at your mistake, while Naruto is in that room getting healed up after your citizens brutally beat him and then workers here refusing to treat his injuries. How are you going to mend your mistake?" Lucy told him, emphasizing the fact that it was his people that did this to Naruto.
The Hokage sighed at her words knowing that she was right, "the world needs more people like you," he said, "You should go clean yourself up, I'll stay until you get back," he said gently. Lucy looked skeptical at his words not fully trusting him, he knew that the villagers would be like that today and he still didn't keep an eye on Naruto. Lucy finally nodded her head and got up wincing as she felt the cool air on her injured back. On the way back to Kakashi's place she could feel the eyes of the villagers on her as she passed. Probably looking at her back, her shirt had opened up and her back was exposed. It was now hanging by her neck and she tied two ends of it together to keep it in place until she could change.
Walking through the door Lucy tried to make her way upstairs but Kakashi heard her come in and went to greet her, "Hey Lucy, how did- what the hell is that?" Kakashi asked loudly in surprise and Lucy turned to him confused,
"What's, what?"
"What happened to your back?" Kakashi questioned as he gently turned her back around to examine her injury,
"Oh that, it's nothing really," Lucy tried to persuade so she could quickly get back to the hospital,
"Lucy you're bleeding," Kakashi stated and started leading Lucy into the bathroom where he keeps the first aid kit. Once he started cleaning her wound he demanded to know what happened,
"Naruto never showed at his place so I went looking for him, when I found him through the villagers were beating him," Lucy said and clenched her fists tightly, "I threw myself in front of him and took one of the hits, that's all," Kakashi was enraged at what he was hearing but kept quiet as he continued to clean and bandage her wound, "I took him to the hospital and I came back to change and go to Naruto's to pick up some stuff before going back," Lucy finished just as Kakashi said that she could move. Lucy started to make her way towards her room after thanking Kakashi so that she could change,
"I'll walk you back to the hospital," Kakashi said once Lucy started making her way out the front door once again. She sighed knowing that there was nothing that she could do to change his mind and walked to Naruto's place, where she picked up his birthday cake and presents. Lucy also sent a message to Iruka via her messenger tiger to let him know where Naruto was before they both started making their way to the hospital.
Once Lucy got to Naruto's room she looked through the window and saw the Hokage talking with the now wide awake Naruto, "You should come in with me," Lucy said as Kakashi turned to leave. Kakashi however, looked down at the ground, "Kakashi, this is your teacher's legacy, you should get to know him," Lucy suggested gently and placed a hand on his arm. He quickly shook her off and said that he was leaving on a mission and would probably be gone before she got home before making his way towards the exit of the hospital, "If you change your mind I'm sure he would love to meet you," Lucy called after him before he could get too far before making her way inside of Naruto's room.
"Hey Naruto," Lucy yelled out happily as she placed the bags that had Naruto's birthday stuff inside down next to him,
"Lucy," Naruto yelled out loudly, his eyes lit up with glee and sparkled when he saw her. He admired Lucy before and she was his first friend but now it's like that all tripled, she stuck up for him against everyone, she even got hurt in his place, she cried for him. Lucy was someone he wanted to keep happy and to protect, now he has many more reasons to become Hokage. It's not just for his own sake anymore.
The Hokage had long since gone now as Naruto started talking away to Lucy until she had to physically hold her hand over his mouth, "Naruto I wanted it to be a surprise and under better circumstances but," Lucy paused and reached into the bag that she had brought in and taken out his cake, "Happy Birthday!" She shouted and presented him with the cake. Naruto was quiet as he looked at the cake, never before had he celebrated his birthday before. It was always a day that he had to hide away because of the villagers, his eyes filled with tears and Lucy started to panic, "Ah, I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm sorry. Um, don't you like cake? Do you want actual ramen instead? I can go get some really quick," Lucy's voice was cut off when Naruto started laughing,
"No, I've just never had a real birthday before," he said as he wiped his eyes and Lucy looked down sad before smiling up at him,
"Well now that I'm here I'm going to celebrate as many of your birthdays with you as I can," 'but how many can I be there for?' Lucy silently thought to herself, "dig in," she said as she cut him a piece of the ramen looking cake. After they had eaten cake Lucy grabbed put an envelope and a small package, "Open the envelope first," Lucy said as she passed them to him. Naruto opened up the envelope excitedly to see a handmade card written inside was,
'Dear Naruto,
I hope that we can make many more memories together,
I will always hold you dear to my heart,
Happy 11th Birthday,
Love Lucy'
After Naruto read it he had a big smile on his face not noticing the sad smile that Lucy had on hers and his smile only got bigger when he saw that a ramen coupon was attached to the card. Not waiting for Lucy to say anything he got to work on the small package, inside was a book on all of the Hokage of the village. This was Lucy's way of secretly giving Naruto things about his family, she knows that he doesn't know this and will probably never figure it but it would make her feel less guilty about keeping it a secret from him. Yet another thing she was hiding.
After a few more hours a nurse came to say that visiting hours were over and Lucy promised to visit him tomorrow before she left. On the way back to Kakashi's Lucy felt like someone was following her, the hair on the back of her neck stood up and she got goose bumps all over her arms. This feeling never left her even as. she opened the door and stepped inside, she felt like she wasn't alone in the house and brought a kunai out of her boot and held it in front of her as she slowly made her way through the house.
Making it to the kitchen Lucy turned on the light and let out a scream as she saw someone sitting there at the table, she was trying to calm her breathing but it didn't work once she realised who it was. There sitting in the front of her was Danzo, the elder that Kakashi told her to stay away from,
"Mr. Shimura, may I ask what you're doing here, sitting in the dark?" Lucy asked respectfully,
"My apologies Miss Heartfilia, I did not mean to alarm you," he said, 'Yes you did,' Lucy thought to herself and shivered slightly when he said her last name.
"Please call me Lucy, may I offer you something to drink?" Lucy asked and brought out the manners that had been drilled into her since childhood,
"No thank you, this shouldn't take long," he said dismissively,
"Kakashi left on a mission already but I can let you know when he comes back if you wish," Lucy said hoping to get the bandaged man out of the house. Lucy shivered once more as Danzo chuckled,
"Oh my dear I'm here for you," his aged voice told her and she froze slightly,
"What is it that I can help you with Sir?" Lucy asked as she mentally tried to calm herself down,
"I would like to ask you to join an organisation of mine, you are extremely skilled and have intelligence far beyond your years. I think you would do well working under me," Danzo said getting straight to the point,
"You flatter me Mr. Shimura but I have to decline your offer. You see I work under Lord Hokage," Lucy said trying to find out what exactly he was asking and also trying to make this exchange quick. However, once Lucy had finished what she was saying and saw the look on Danzo's face she knew that it was the wrong thing to say.
"I'm afraid, Lucy, that I was not asking," at this Danzo nodded his head and Lucy suddenly felt a pinch on her neck before everything went dark.
Lucy woke up and groaned at the pain at the back of her neck, trying to remember what happened. Blinking her eyes several times and started looking around, she noticed that she was strapped to a chair in chakra restraints. She didn't struggle trying not to alert the ones that had taken her that she was awake just yet, she needed to remember what happened and try to find a way to escape.
With Naruto
Naruto woke up in the hospital the next day excited to see Lucy once again, he was even more excited when he saw Iruka come through the door and realised that he was going to have both of them here but as the hours flew by and Lucy didn't show Naruto was beginning to worry.
"Iruka-sensei I'm kind of worried, Lucy promised to come by today but visiting hours are almost over," Naruto expressed his concerns to his teacher,
"Something probably came up Naruto, she's a pretty busy person. I'm sure she'll explain tomorrow," Iruka tries to calm him down but Naruto frantically shook his head,
"Lucy doesn't break promises Iruka-sensei, somethings wrong," he tried to stress to his teacher,
"How about I go by and check on her on my way home," Iruka said and Naruto nodded his head with a relieved look on his face.
Iruka was walking towards Kakashi's place where he knew Lucy lived since the Hokage mentioned it. Getting closer to Kakashi's house he saw Kakashi himself about to open the door, "Hey Kakashi," Iruka said as he got closer,
"Ahh, Iruka, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked boredly,
"Naruto got worried when Lucy didn't come to see him like she said she would so I'm here to make sure she's okay," Iruka said,
"That doesn't sound like Lucy," Kakashi said and started to get worried, he quickly opened up the door and walked inside with Iruka following him. Kakashi stopped and sniffed the air, "someone else has been here," Kakashi said quietly, his guard now raised, "it's faint but the scent is still here,"
"Do you recognise it?" Iruka asked him,
"it is slightly familiar, so I must have at least met them before," Kakashi said before biting on his thumb and summoned his ninja dogs, "find Lucy," that was all he needed to say before the dogs jumped away to try and find a trace of her, "Iruka, can you tell the Hokage that Lucy is missing?" Kakashi said, his shoulders tense as he impatiently waited for his dogs,
"How do you know she's missing? There's no sign of a struggle," Iruka asked confused,
"You don't know Lucy like I do," Kakashi said as he walked into her kitchen to see only one chair, not in place and he went to inspect it, "Lucy's kind of a neat freak, she almost always cleans up after herself and never leaves a mess anywhere other than her own room. Not only that but I can't smell strawberries anywhere near here," he said and Iruka was even more confused,
"What do strawberries have to do with this?"
"Lucy loves anything with strawberries in it, tea, sweets, you name it and I can't smell any so that means she wasn't here at any point today,"
"Maybe she ate out?" Iruka suggested not seeing Kakashi beginning to get a restless,
"Lucy always eats breakfast before she leaves the house unless she's mad at me for some reason, trust me Iruka she's missing and if you don't go and tell the Hokage right now I'll make sure that you can never say anything ever again," Kakashi started to raise his voice as he talked and Iruka flinched at the deadly tone of his voice. Iruka didn't even say anything as he ran out if the house to tell the Hokage about Lucy.
It was then that Kakashi's summons came back and Pakkun started talking, "We've found her scent but its faint, you should hurry before it disappears," Pakkun said as the rest of the dogs started to leave in puffs of smoke and Pakkun lead Kakashi to where ever Lucy was.
With Lucy
According to Horologium, it had been a few hours since she's woken up and an entire day since she's been taken. She doubts anyone has even realised that she's missing yet but hopefully Kakashi comes back from his mission soon and tries to look for her. Just then the door opened and Lucy tried to make out who was walking into the dark room, all she got was that this person had a walking stick so she assumed it was Danzo. Two people walked in behind him and stood beside Danzo once he stopped walking,
"So have you had time to rethink your attitude from yesterday?" he spoke as if she was a child in time out,
"Indeed I have," Lucy rasped out and she could faintly see the light from the doorway reflect off of Danzo's now visible teeth, "and I think I should've explained myself better so you would've understood my refusal to your proposition," Lucy snarled out and she saw one of the guard's tense at her words as Danzo growled in anguish,
"You're going to regret insulting me, no one insults me," Danzo said and at this Lucy grew confused, had she insulted him? Or was it the refusal itself that was the insult? "No one refuses me," Danzo continued and Lucy snapped out of her thoughts,
"Clearly someone has or you wouldn't be so dramatic about it," Lucy said not realising that she had started talking until it was too late. She silently cursed herself but couldn't help but let out a small smirk at the look on his face. Danzo's eye was twitching, his upper lip lifted to one side and his teeth clenched, he really did look like an angry avocado with teeth. Lucy's head suddenly snapped to the side and the entire right side of her face stung, it felt like her eye was started to swell up but she didn't let out a sound as it happened or as she turned to face him yet again.
It was taking all of her energy trying to keep Loke from opening his own gate, 'soon,' was all she silently said to him and the rest of her spirits for them to calm down just enough so that she could focus on what was in front of her,
"You will address me as Lord Danzo from now on, you answer to me alone. You work for me, not that peace-loving Hokage," Danzo spat out as he looked down at her and Lucy suddenly realised what she was going to do to get out of there, "there are rules here, first, emotions are for the weak. You must never let your emotions get in the way of your missions. Second, you follow my orders without question. Third, we protect the village hidden in the leaves from the shadows, we do not seek glory or fame. We do our job and that's it, those in the light must stay in the light and those in the shadows shall never try to be anywhere else. This is where we belong, this is ROOT." Danzo explained and Lucy suddenly snorted, unable to hold it in. Danzo snapped his head down to look at her and snarled, "what exactly is so funny?" he yelled and then slapped her right cheek yet again.
Lucy had her hair over her eyes as she kept her head to the side before she started smirking, "everything about what you said was hilarious. Emotions make you weak, oh please don't make me laugh if you really believed that then you wouldn't be acting so hysterical," Danzo had enough of listening to Lucy and slapped her cheek so hard that the chair fell down. Lucy's head banged against the floor and to cover up the pain she started laughing,
"You contradict everything that you've just said, if you really believed any of it then I wouldn't even be here right now. More importantly, neither would you, you claim that you protect the village from the shadows and yet you're a village elder, one of the most known people among the ninja in the village," both of the masked guards beside Danzo stiffened up at her explanation, just now realising that everything she's saying is true.
Danzo was about to order the ninja to pick up the chair so he could hit her again but she suddenly turned to face him with her face full of blood and a smug look on her face, "besides, how can you claim to be emotionless when its obvious that you're jealous of Lord Hokage," at her words Danzo snapped and lifted one of his legs to kick her on the face but before he could she yelled out, "open gate of the golden bull, Taurus," suddenly a golden light was shining in the room and a giant bull that wielded a battle axe and was standing upright appeared,
"Moo, Lucy it's been awhile" Taurus drones out and looks up and down her small child body with disappointment, "how long until I get to see that smoking body of yours, Lucy?"
"Quit being such a perv and beat them up ready," Lucy yelled out as she summoned Virgo to get her out of the chains,
"Watch my moooves," Taurus yelled out as he swung the axe and the ninja jumped out of the way, the axe landed on the floor and it started to crack. Lucy quickly told Virgo to go back and she changed into her Taurus star dress,
"Taurus lets end this quickly," Lucy shouted to her spirit and gathered chakra into her fist and brought it down where Taurus made the floor crack. The ground quickly gave way and started to split apart, Taurus went back to the spirit realm and Lucy jumped to avoid falling through the floor. Noticing that more masked people were coming from behind her, Lucy quickly bit her thumb hard enough to draw blood, "Summoning Jutsu," Lucy yelled out and her pack of tigers came out and stood around her protectively,
"I want her dead," Danzo yelled out from where he now stood, behind all of his soldiers and Lucy snarled at him,
'That coward,' Lucy thought to herself in disgust, 'why do I keep running into people like this?' she continued to think, sweat dropping as she did so,
"She's just one little girl, no matter how skilled she is, her chakra will run out eventually and she's all alone," Danzo continues. Lucy didn't want to admit it but he was right, she didn't have enough energy to take them all on even with her tigers with her.
As they came at her, Lucy equipped her Leo star dress, which was now a black flower girl type dress with a golden belt, was sleeveless but had thin straps. Loke's star dress was by far her most durable and had advanced speed added on top of that. Reguluses power was truly remarkable but took more magic than the others to fight in. Lucy needed the durability though, her right eye was swollen shut and now created a blind spot. While Lucy was trained in sensory techniques she needed to reserve her chakra.
Looking around her Lucy saw that a lot of her tigers had to be sent back because they had injuries, things weren't looking good for her. She needed to think fast, looking around Lucy saw that Danzo still stood behind all of his masked ninja's, with that irritating smug look on his face. With blood dripping from her split lip Lucy snarled at him, never had she felt so much disgust for one person and Lucy has met a lot of people from enemy guilds. Even those who worked for Zeref did not make her feel this way, what was it about Danzo that made her feel this way. Not even Orochimaru makes her feel this way and he tortured her for months, while Orochimaru does disgust Lucy and even puts fear into her very being she just couldn't help but think that something was very wrong here.
Taking a deep breath Lucy transformed into her Taurus star dress and added chakra into her feet and arms before pushing herself forward. Lucy rammed her way through the masked forces, as Danzo's soldiers kept trying to get close to her they either couldn't keep up or got forced away with the amount of chakra that Lucy emitted. As she neared Danzo she summoned Cancer and changed into his Star dress.
"Hey Baby, shall I give them a funky do?" Cancer said as he appeared next to her, she could tell that Danzo was intrigued by her spirits but she tried not to think too much about it,
"Oh yeah, straight off the top," Lucy yelled out as she pointed towards the masked shinobi, and Cancer sped past all of them with his razor sharp scissors and their hair and their weapons into pieces before going back. While Lucy was preparing to open another gate,
"Open the gate of the ram, Aries," Lucy called and the adorable, fluffy girl appeared,
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss Lucy, how can I help?" the shy pink girl asked,
"Do your thing girl," Lucy shouted excitedly, hoping to be encouraging towards her,
"O-okay, Wool bomb," Aries shouted and pink wool was spread over Danzo's ninja and for a moment they looked like they were starting to relax in it but then snapped out of it and jumped out of the wool and onto the ledges above them that Lucy didn't notice before, "I'm so sorry Miss Lucy," Aries said as she returned to the spirit realm,
"Don't worry you tried your best," Lucy replies,
"Well don't you have interesting summons but it seems like they are obsolete compared to my ninja, I can tell that you're extremely low on chakra. You can't continue to way you have been for much longer," Danzo chuckles and Lucy was struggling to think of something, anything that would be useful,
"Open the gate of the archer, Sagittarius," Lucy yelled out and Sagittarius showed up in his usual salute,
"Good day, my lady,"
"Let's take them down," Lucy yelled out to him, transforming into her Sagittarius star dress and they both started to rapidly shoot arrows at the ninja up on the ledge. When Danzo saw their aim he performed a jutsu,
"Wind style, air bullets," he said and Lucy just managed to dodge but Sagittarius ended up getting hit,
"It seems like I'm off to the spirit world, to-da-loo," he yelled out as he got sent back,
"Sagittarius," Lucy called out in worry before she fell to her knees, 'I can't be out of power yet,' she thought to herself as he breathing became uneven,
"Looks like you're out of chakra," Danzo chuckles out and a couple dozen of his masked ninja's came to stand around her, the rest were severely injured, "you need to learn your place. Too bad you won't get the chance, I would have liked to see you all submissive after everything you've done to me," he said and he started to perform a jutsu the same one as before, "wind style, air bullet,"
Lucy closed her eyes in fear and waited for the pain to come but it never did, instead, she felt herself being picked up by someone and said person jumping away. Opening her eyes Lucy half expected it to be Loke but was surprised to find that it was Kakashi, "Ka-Kakashi, how did you get here?" Lucy asked first and Kakashi got a tick mark on his head,
"What no thank you?" he said harshly but took in a breath at the sight of her face, "what the hell did he do?" he said as he grasped her chin worriedly and gently placed her on the ground.
"Bigger issues at the moment Kakashi," Lucy said trying to get his focus off of her face, he let go of her chin and sighed knowing that she's right. He snapped his eye open and picked her up suddenly once again to dodge another attack, "do you know a way out?" Lucy asked him as he continued to dodge attacks, but he was losing chakra because he uncovered the Sharingan.
"Once they figured out I was here they caved it in," Kakashi said,
"Wait, we're underground?" Lucy asked in shock and Kakashi nodded, "I don't have enough energy to drill through the dirt," Lucy mumbled as she looked down, Kakashi looked down slightly at Lucy and sighed again,
"You did fine," Kakashi said boredly as he hid from the attacks that were being thrown at them and put her down once again, "although I thought I told you to stay away from him," Kakashi scolded,
"Hey, I tried to kick him out as fast as I could but he seems to just do whatever he wants," Lucy shouted in defense, Kakashi put a hand on her head,
"Right now, all that matters is that you're safe,"
"Well isn't this touching," both of them snapped up their heads to look at Danzo who entered the room that they were hiding in, "I'm surprised by your attachment to her Kakashi, I remember the days that you were nicknamed the friend killer," Kakashi tensed as he heard this and Lucy tried not to let her shock show, "ah, so you haven't told her," Danzo continued to mock and Kakashi clenched his teeth, "about how you killed Rin,"
