Fu's POV;
My legs hurt, how could they catch me this fast? Maybe I should have listened to this Uzukageguy? But he also only wanted Chou, they either hate me for her or want her. Never me.
“HAHAHAHA I got myself a little heathen bitch”, laughed one of the two. He was the one who cut me with his large weapon.
°Help me, Chou°, I pleaded.
°I can give you Chakra, but you won't be able to control it. You never were able to°, said Chou apologetically. Yes, the last time she gave me Chakra I lost control and killed a lot of people.
°But they will take you away from me°, I said desperately, she was the only constant in my life. Then suddenly there was a soft thump in front of me and the Uzukageguy looked down at me.
His creepy eyes stared directly into mine.
“Told you they were here, the offer still stands”, he said and looked back at the other two men,
°Chou I want to accept. He at least didn't hurt me°, I said. Chou stayed silent for a long time.
°I don't know, it might really hurt when he takes my Chakra°, she finally said. But some pain was better than death. I know how pain feels like, I often got beaten.
“Please help me”, I pleaded. He tapped my head. I was suddenly no longer on the streets, but inside a hospital. A nurse who sat in a chair, reading a book, fell out of the chair in surprise and let out a short scream.
Instantly a door was thrown open and six doctors came running inside. They gave the nurse on the ground a quick glance and then looked over at me. As one they moved to me and I got scared. I tried to back away, but my legs weren't healed yet.
“It's okay, we are the best doctors in Uzushiogakure. We are here to help”, said one of the two female doctors. She had dark brown, almost black hair and looked really friendly. I stopped struggling and then felt warmth spreading through my legs. I never got healed by a doctor. They only put me inside a bed and left me alone.
“She has cut tendons in both her ankles. They already started to heal”, said a man. Two others who were next to my legs put their hands on the wound and a green glow shone on it. The wound began to close and felt really warm.
“Can you tell me what happened?”, asked the woman who first spoke to me.
“Where am I?”, I asked back. The room was obviously some form of emergency treatment room. There was everything for operations and the like.
“You are inside the special treatment room of the Uzukage. In case the Uzukage needs treatment or has someone with him who needs some. Now please tell me what happened”, she said, still in her caring and comforting tone.
“I was in my home and then this man Dexter, that was his name, came. He asked me to give him my Chakra. I got scared and run, but then two other men came. One of them had a scythe and cut me down with it. Then suddenly this Dexter was back and asked me again, I accepted and he tapped me. The next thing that happened was me being here”, I answered truthfully.
“Let's get you on a bed and give you something to eat for now, you look hungry”, she said and two men picked me up, before laying me down on one of the beds. It was soft, softer than my own bed or the hospital beds I normally was in.
“My name is Shizune, can you tell me who the other two men were?”, said the women, Shizune. She is so nice to me, not like the other doctors in my village.
“I'm Fu, I don't know them, one was cursing me, he called me a heathen. The other was silent the whole time”, I answered.
“Heathen? You said he had a scythe?”, asked Shizune. I nodded and Shizune glanced to the side, where one of the doctors nodded and then hurriedly left.
“Is something?”, I asked worried. This Dexter was a Kage and he must be important. If he fights them and doesn't come back, then these people will give me the fault for it.
“No, everything is fine. We just have to inform a few important people”, she said with a smile. The other woman, a red-haired one, not much older than me, came back with a tray of food. It was a hot vegetable soup.
“Here eat”, said Shizune. I eyed the food and then ate. It was really good and much.

Shizune's POV;
The girl that got teleported into our emergency room looked to be not older than 12, she was short, dirty and skinny. She was obviously malnourished and less than in good conditions. The diagnosis I got proved that. She had many old scars on her back, arms and legs, a lot of her bones were broken at least once in her life, probably more often, and her malnourishment isn't new as well.

She is now eating the thing that the hospital declares as food and it looks like she really likes it. She also does not have many manners. Only the spoon is used and even then sloppily.
What have these people in Takkigakure(Village behind the Waterfall) done to her?
Tsunade-sama told me that Konoha did gruesome things to Naruto but never got into detail, she always began to cry whenever she remembered what she has seen in the seal. Fu showed many signs of abuse. She flinches back when you get near, she protects the food as if she fears of loosing it, her eyes dart around for any sign of danger.
And what she said about Dexter and the two men. Obviously two from Akatsuki, but Dexter could have been more caring in his approach. Telling someone that you want her Chakra wasn't gaining any trust.
“Fu?”, I asked and noticed her flinching away for a moment.
“Yes?”, she asked in a small and quite voice.
“Can you tell me what Uzukage-sama told you?”, I asked. She got a far away look for a moment but then nodded.
“He said he wants to have my Chakra and would protect me in return. He said I could live with him or get an apartment of my own. He also said that he would help me if I want to learn a job or want to become a Ninja”, she said and then nodded once at the end.
Why should Dexter want her Chakra? He wasn't roaming around to get someone's Chakra. He told Tsunade and with her me that he wanted to gain the Chakra of each Bijuu. Does that mean that this girl is a Jinchuriki? It would certainly explain why she was mistreated.
“Did he say your Chakra or someone's Chakra inside you?”, I asked carefully. The eyes of the young woman widen in fear and she nearly jumped away from me.
“N..no, he said my Chakra”, she then stammered. I signalled the remaining doctors and the nurse to leave me alone and waited until everyone was gone.
“You don't have to worry, I know of the Bijuu and what they are. You aren't the Bijuu that is in you and I won't judge you. I understand when you want to keep it a secret, so I sent the others out. Can you now please tell me what Dexter asked you?”, I then said in the most friendly tone I knew.
“He... he said he wanted to have most of Chou's Chakra, he said it will weaken, but not kill her. Was he saying the truth?”, asked Fu. She was still standing and eyeing the door.
What should I say? I don't know if it will kill the Bijuu. It certainly does not kill the Jinchuriki, Gaara was proving that. Maybe the truth is better than making assumptions that I can't back up and might hurt her? From the tone of her it sounds like she does like her Bijuu.
“I'm sorry, but I don't know. Uzukage-sama is the only one who can do it. But I do know that you won't die, he did it twice already, one of them is still alive”, I said and tried to sound as sincere as I could be.
“What happened to the other one?”, she asked worriedly.
“He died, but not because Uzukage-sama took the Chakra of his Bijuu. They were enemies and fought each other”, I assured. She nodded but still looked worried.
We fell into silence, she was eating quietly and I watched her silently. This comfortable quiet was stopped when a yellowish-red flash blinded us momentarily. The next moment Dexter-kun was back and panting slightly. He let out a deep breath and rolled his shoulders, a series of loud pops followed.
“Damn, six gates in combination with everything else is sure taking it's toll on my body. Good that it's mine and not someone else's they wouldn't survive that for sure”, he mumbled with a laugh and turned around. He spotted both of us and gave us a wink before taking off his mask.
“Uzukage-sama”, I said in greeting with a bow, like it behaves of me. We are in public, so a set amount of formalities have to be kept.
“Hi Shizune”, he greeted back and came over. He stopped in front of a terrified Fu and smiled down at her.
“And hello to you again Fu, I hope your legs are better?”, he then asked.
“Yes Uzukage-sama”, answered Fu hurriedly, the tone of fear was clearly noticeable.
“Don't be afraid. While I can't promise that the extraction of Choumei's Chakra won't hurt, I can at least promise that you will not notice it. If it hurts we will simply put you to sleep until it's finished”, he said. Telling her basically that she has no choice at all and this with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
“Uzukage-sama, couldn't you have worded this a bit differently?”, I quickly rebutted him and turned a kind smile at the young girl, “I'm sure it won't hurt at all and will make certain that Uzukage-sama will be gentle”, I then said and glared at Dexter.
“I'll tell Yuugao-san and Kushina-san if you do something to this sweet girl”, I then said. Sadly he only shrugged and looked back at Fu. Mou, he never takes me serious.
“Well then Fu, do you want to get over this now or later?”, he then asked and I put my hand in front of his face.
“Fu is in no physical position for any strenuous activity”, I said sternly, this time I won't let myself get my treat dismissed as nothing.
“Is she? Well, she does look a little thin. Okay, let me test something”, replied Dexter. He then went still for a moment and then his fingernails turned into claws, his eyes got a black markings and his pupils turned into orange slits. His teeth got sharper and slightly longer. All in all he looked way more feral and dangerous.
His eyes then changed again and his Mangekou-Sharingan spun into activity. It too was different, the black pin-wheel was now orange.
“Let's test my [Flames of Healing]”, he then said and Fu suddenly caught fire all over her body. Her whole body was clad in white flames. The girl let out a horrified scream and threw her food away, while also trying to pat the flames out.
“Don't worry, they won't hurt you”, assured Dexter, this didn't comfort Fu at all and she began to cry pitifully. The fire burned for twenty seconds and changed Fu enormously. Gone was the too thin appearance and the slightly visible scars. In place came unblemished caramel coloured skin and a healthy amount of fat. She was also taller and looked like a 14 year old girl now. A pretty young woman.
She was still sobbing, so I hugged her and glared at Dexter as fierce as I could. Couldn't he have waited for a moment? He's so focused in his desire of her Bijuu's Chakra that he doesn't care about her mentality. Sure, he didn't hurt her, but he could have explained to her what he will do.
“Now she's healthy enough”, he then said. I had every intention of kicking him away, the girl was way to terrified for anything, but he got spared by the explosion of the door.
Tsunade, Kushina, and Yuugao came inside, followed by Karin.
“Tsunade-sama, do something, Dexter has one of his working moments”, I said quickly. His working moments were a problem sometimes, he won't stop with something until he finished what he has set as his goal.
There was only one thing that would stop him from work in such moments.
“Come Dexter, we will eat out at your favourite chicken restaurant. Dan-san told me that there was a new chicken rice dish that he wanted to show you”, said Kushina while grabbing Dexter's arm.
The man instantly turned around and nearly run out of the room with Kushina still on his arm. Yuugao followed while Tsunade-sama stayed behind.
“So what happened?”, she then asked and eyed Fu. The girl had curled herself into a ball and tried to be as tiny as possible.
“He came back and the put Fu, that is her name, under his [Flames of Healing] without explaining what they will do. He was also firmly set on taking the Chakra of the seven tails out of her.
Honestly, how can he be this crude?”, I explained. In the meantime, Tsunade run a diagnostic Jutsu over Fu.
“Well looks like his cheat of a Jutsu did it again. Congratulation Fu, you are completely healthy. There is no sign of any wound or anything else that points at something. In fact you are so healthy that it's realistically impossible”, said Tsunade-sama when she finished.
“W..what do you mean?”, asked Fu, she had come out of her turtle-like position and was now sitting again on her bed. Karin in the meantime was grumbling and cleaning the mess that was on the floor.
Karin was such a sweat girl and so skilled in medical Jutsu.
“It means that there is not a single thing on or in your body that would have shown a normal life and with it its common injuries. Your muscles and organs show signs of ageing but only as much as it would be normal. They are in perfect position and as strong as possible, the same with your bones.
The way you sit shouldn't make such a thing possible. Your position looks too comfortable for you to not be the common, but your bones clearly look like this is not the case. By the way, you should sit a little bit straighter or they will change again”, explained Tsunade in an easy to understand way.
“And you have to excuse our Uzukage, the Chakra of Choumei would help him with something that will allow his girlfriend to get a body. You see he is love struck with the nine tailed Bijuu inside of him and wishes to release her, but at the same time doesn't want to die.
So he came up with the idea to make her stronger and with her himself, this way he hopes to create a body for her once they have the Chakra of every Bijuu”, continued Tsunade-sama.
Fu got a far away look for a moment and then looked worried.
“Chou says that he might be able to do such a thing. Do you think he keep his word?”, she then asked.
“I'm sure, and if not then I will hit him until he will, we girls have to help each other don't we?”, promised Tsunade-sama with a smile and held her pinky out to the girl. Fu interlinked with her own pinky and they choke hands once.
“Good, now let's go out and get you some clothes. Dexter will be busy for a few hours and I want to be sure that everything is okay with you”, Tusnade-sama then said and the two walked out of the room. I followed them and we spent the rest of the day shopping, expenses on Dexter.
