"so naruto um I have a question about your team" Her green eyes reflected that of a curious child sakura didn't go into detail so she wanted to see if the details were bad enough for both teammates mot to talk about it.

"what about it" he clenched his jaw in anticipation he already had a feeling about his lost teammate or as people called him the traitor.

she tilted her head her green eyes shining in the bright light and opened her mouth"About this Sasuke Uchiha from what I've been told was the last of his family and betrayed the village why did he do that and Why are you going after him" now there was no malice or ill intent behind her tone of voice at all just an honest to god question.

he audibly sighed alerting Marie that he had probably had to answer a million questions just like she's on a given day "Sasuke betrayed the village because of a need for power and a certain weirdo snake named Orochimaru" Upon the mention of Orochimaru his demeanor changed from a relaxed position to that of a guarded position.

"it seems that snakes cause all of our problems what a weird coincidence," she said as she shifted to Ren who was currently walking right beside her the boy was.

"I had heard about his over-the-top evil dad does he look and act like an utter bastard too," he said he still has obvious negative emotions that are bottled up inside the young spiky-haired blond. "he's more than sit back and watch type he has a natural smug face and it really doesn't help that he and Ren share the same face normally unlike now" She then beckons Ren to her causing him to stop and come closer so Naruto could get a better look at her beloved in his reduced state.

"Mariee who this is" Marie answered him with Naruto's name and a few things about him so when

naruto bent down and looked at the creature while it now had now regained about a nice percent of intelligence back enough from going from a pet to a 3-year-old with a decent education. "hmm so this what he looks like"

"more or less add a long Maine of hair dye it a dark blue and give him eyes and you have him Cagliostro" While the man went by hundreds of names she only knew him by one while Ren knew by another.

"what a weird name for that man I want to punch him in the face as well" Naruto had zero patience when it came to mad scientists like Orochimaru or this Cagliostro he heard so badly about he wanted so badly wring that bastard by the neck and shake him hard naruto was never was the type to kill no matter how much indomitable hatred he felt he never thought he had it him to kill but incapacitate render unable to fight he well within his mind to do.

"well it's been nice talking to you marie but i gotta go and group up with some old friends" with that he took of towards his old apartment building for an card game. with naruto gone marie had all the time of the world to think about certain things.

"i want to try to something new tonight ren"she tilted her head as of to beg ren for his cooperation like the old times.

...

"There is no way this bastard is daring to continue root after sensei ordered him to stop" The former sanin now Hokage was pissed at the evidence that was collected by her anbu this old bastard has the gull to continue despite his friend her sensei and the Hokage at the time orders.

kakashi was sitting in the room reading his doujin without a care in the world but then the aura of pure rage that emanated was so great that he closed his book and proceeded to get serious. "hokage-sama what are your orders" he was more or less ready for duty for any mission that came his way.

"find danzo and bring him to me alive beat him into the ground if necessary" The man she ordered him to capture was old but elusive and dangerously smart and probably had a plan for everything.

"This is going to be hard especially if that root spy I saw yesterday had warned danzo anbu is probably compromised" This would take a whole lot of investigating which would take a lot of energy the village interrogators don't have since anbu are trained to be unbreakable rocks in that department kakashi himself could attest to that.

"I don't care how long the uprooting process takes Kakashi time is of the essence" he then shuishuned out immediately and started running towards danzo last known location at an unbelievable pace he wondered how effective he'd be if he had the red boy's speed.

...

"shit" he had just gotten back from the root base and he could tell that something was up near the entrance his root soldiers were by his side "Two of you go free the boy and the girl we won't be able to get rid of them quickly enough to keep my life in check" two root soldiers left the area immediately.

in the distance Marie was holding on to Ren's back as he was literally crawling and running in an open field at near-light speeds wanted to try to see if it was possible with her unnatural ghost-like biology to ride him if anything happened to her she could freely reform.

(get your mind out of the gutter readers before I throw you into the Leere also don't question how marie is riding ren with the sychtes for the sake of the story pretend that he come move them to the side).

"wow this is kinda of scary," she asked Ren to take her in a random direction just for him to stay within the bounds of the village which he was doing some what but the speeds he was going at was ridiculous.

the speed they were moving at meant that they could plow through any metal dodge most ninjutsu and literally run through any opponent that came their way plus ren sycthes could shread through anything this world could possibly stop them except for the irrational fear of crashing into this metal wall.

"so we finally got little-" the crash in the wall signaled a threat or ally for the young couple.

"ah sorry about that me and ren wasn't expecting anyone this far out wait a minute" she quickly took in the artificial and prison like nature of the room this wasn't a room for what she could only assume was a young family.
