Hokage's office

[bleachmaster94]

"Understand that being Hokage is not an easy job. I witnessed my father's death. I have seen things that no man should have to see in his life time. I have had a monster locked into my body and I am responsible for each and every one of the Leaf ninja. All that I ask is for you to listen when I give you orders. Do you understand?"  

[rawreetstori]

Atara had arrived in front of the Hokage's office and was prepared to knock before she heard him speak. Now her knuckles lay inches from the door and she stood in wonder and awe. Maybe he understands what its really like. She swallowed hard, knowing very well that Reton knew she was standing there.

shincho rolled his eye's and said "Reton i know how to follow orders but you can't expect me to follow every single order you give me."  

[rawreetstori]

Suddenly overwhelmed by an unknown amount of anger, Atara barged into Reton's office subconsciously.
"Some peoples' lives depend on orders! Don't you get it yet? People are killed because of these actions! Being controlled by an uncontrollable force is punishment enough, but then orders are given for your sake! Not just by the person who gives them!"
Her face became hot and she slowly bowed to Reton. "P-Please pardon my intrusion, Lord Hokage. I came to speak to you about an on-going matter and I suppose I lost control."  

[bleachmaster94]

Reton sat in his chair with a facial expression that was half disappointment and half calm. He put his hand up slightly to show that it is alright that Atara barged in. He looked straight at Shincho. "Well when your a ninja you can't just pick and choose what orders you follow. Think about it. You're dismissed Shincho" Reton said in a very calm voice.

shincho looked at Atara and then back at Reton with a grin. "I understand sir." he walked out of the office with a quiet chuckle.  

[rawreetstori]

Watching Shincho leave, she was instantly relieved. "Lord Hokage, I have come to seek your advice upon a matter which has greatly troubled me."

Atara had kept this from Shincho the entire time she had known him and she didn't want to tell him this directly and time was running out.  

[bleachmaster94]

"What is troubling you, Atara?" Reton asked in a calm voice.  

[rawreetstori]

Glad that Reton was not panicking, she allowed herself to continue, uneasily.

"Sir, there is not much time left! I'll explain this as concise as I possibly can." Her voice wandered off slowly, but she recomposed herself and began. "Did it not once bother you about how I just enrolled as an Academy Student at the age of fourteen?" She began slowly.  

[bleachmaster94]

"It may have crossed my mind but it did not bother me" Reton was eager to hear more but he did not show it.  

[rawreetstori]

"And my inapt abilites, way beyond comprehension, not to mention my instant Academy Student to Jounin promotion did not bother you?" She folded her hands in her lap. The real story had yet to come. "Never once did you think anything besides 'natural talent'?"  

[bleachmaster94]

"Not really. So what must you tell me. Don't be afraid to just come out with it."  

[rawreetstori]

She sighed and tried not to blurt out at once. "My life is in danger, as well as many of your pupils'." She sank her head down. "I am not . . . a real human. My guardian made some drastic changes to me as a child, these of which have changed my body for life. I feel no physical pain, and am used as a lethal weapon of destruction." She looked up at Reton suddenly, her hands clasped over her chest, where her heart should have been, if it not have been artifical. "My guardian wishes for the death of Shincho . . . he has held a grudge on his family for some time. He's expecting his head in a matter of weeks. If I am not to supply his want, I will die." She knew her guardian was someone more destructive than the Hokage himself. The 'guardian' had sealed within her modified body, a hard source of energy. When tapered with, which it had not yet, her body would either inherit a monstrous amount of power, or her body would self-distruct within moments.

It was all so unpredicatable. Atara herself knew nothing but of the danger she was in.

Reton puts his hand on his face as if he had a headache and kept it there. "Does the Kazekage know of this?"
