Naoki does a double take at you. Masami looks relieved, but worried. Hikaru frowns.
"No?" The older man asks.
"No. You've been messing with us from the start. You even admitted to lying about your identity. I'm not going to hurt a Konoha citizen over a minor crime that's already been solved merely based on the dubious word of someone who isn't even in charge of us yet. No."
The man gives you a stern, warning look as a storm builds in his expression. He forms a hand seal. You wince and brace for impact.
The little boy dissolves into a puddle of water, revealing himself to be a water clone altered with the transformation jutsu. 'Hikaru' leans back in the bench and transforms into the older woman you met at the waterfall years ago. She examines the clouds above for a few seconds, then closes her eyes and sighs contently. All was right with the world.
A wave of sheer relief flows over you.
"I'm Hotaru Nakagawa. You pass. I'm honored to be your jonin team leader. I'm willing to answer any questions you have of me."
