(Just let you readers know, I'm going to follow majority of the timeline in Naruto. But I do plan to keep Itachi since this will help make my plot/story go finely. Please enjoy and I might just a little bit put Itachi out of character. Also the ages of the character will be different from the original anime. I don't own Naruto, but I do own the plot etc. Also I don't really care as much of my grammar and stuff, but I do hope this is good enough and I ensure I'll make it so much more interesting and stuff so just bare with me and tell me my grammarly problems okay ~ Thanks)
(Kiyomi's POV)
Almost there. Just a little further and I'll get to see them all. Gosh it's been such a long time since I last seen, but it was a great journey for me personally. I wonder if they'll still remember me, I've been gone for almost 10years.
My feet came to a halt, my eyes gazed at the big green doors of Kohona village. I wonder how everything is. I walked through the doors, and the guards who supposedly had to watch the doors aren't doing a very good job. I mean I could have been a enemy walking freely into the village. Seriously!
A lot have changed a bummer that the old man isn't here. Good thing I came to his funeral though.
(Flashback 5 years ago)
I was running for about a day or two non-stop. My legs carried me from the Rain Village to the gates of Kohona Village.
When I heard the news of the third hokage's death, I just left in the middle of my training. The rain was pouring like fountains of waterfalls, the sticks breaking under my feet, the sounds of branches leaving my feet as I jumped from one to another while leaving massive gaps from my leaps. I already lost Minato and Kushina from the nine tails attack I couldn't bring myself to believe that the old man was gone too. My breathing was unsteady and my body was numb especially my legs from all the running.
When I arrived at the funeral being held at the top of the Hokage's tower my heart felt like it stopped beating. I had refused to believe that the Old man was dead until I saw the pictures and bodies of the ninjas and himself. My thoughts were hazy while my eyes stung from the tears that were threatening to fall. I didn't want to intrude on these people having their moment with the third so I jumped onto a near by building and waited patiently for them to go.
While waiting the rain seem to get heavier. It was like the heavens felt the sorrow within us. Gazing at the crowd gathered here my eyes fell upon two people, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga. I watched them placing a white flower in front of the old mans picture.
It wasn't long until the ninja's started to leave when only few remained and talked among themselves. That's when I jumped down from the building I placed myself in and slowly made my way towards the dozens of white flowers placed in front of the old man. I didn't have a flower, but I made sure to pay my respects.
"Whose that?" muttered people, eye's started fall on me. I would too watch a person and start questioning who I haven't seen around the village to come and pay respects to the hokage. So it didn't bother me as much.
"Thanks for letting me stay here when I really needed it, for looking out for me when you could have easly told me I was not welcomed here. Thank you for letting me train here, and watch over me when they were all gone. Rest in peace old man because when I return from my journey I promise to protect this village like how you, Minato and Kushina did." I said before bowing and taking my leave back to the rain village for my training to continue.

My eye's gazed at the mountains when I suddenly saw Tsunade's face carved into the mountain next to the fourth hokage. Gosh her face looks funny I couldn't help but laugh quietly while trying not get any attention from the other villagers.
I quickly made my way towards the hokage tower, it still stands after such a long time. The area around the building was quite compared to before. When I entered the building everything was quite like a ghost town exactly the same when being outside. Guess grandma needs peace for working. As I made my way towards the room which I presume is where Tsunade will be in, I started to hear rustling. I quietly opened the door and sneaked myself in.
Piles of paper was found in stacks all around the room. Gosh Baa-Chan you've been slacking in your work. I didn't see Tsunade anywhere since the paper blocked my view that was until I saw a green robe hanging loosely from behind the stacks of paper. I slowly made my way towards the robe when I saw Tsunade drinking a glass of sake as she shut her eyes.
"Are you drinking sake, Tsuande?" I said before her eyes shot opened and gazed upon me.
(Tsunade POV)
I was enjoying a nice glass of sake, I made sure to tell everyone to not disturb me today. I was about to drink a small amount before someone interrupted me.
"Are you drinking sake, Tsunade?" A voice said
When I looked up I saw Hinata? But it wasn't her, this girl has silver hair that goes below her waist, and her eyes are like a Hyuga, but instead of a light lavender it's a mixture of a light red and pink.
"Who are you?" I asked
"Seriously Baa-Chan, you don't even remember me. It wasn't even that long since we last met, remember at the hot springs." She said like a child.
"Kiyomi?" I asked unsure if it is even her
"Finally!" Kiyomi said
"Indeed, It has been a long time." I said before giving a friendly hug. My it has been a long time since we last meet.
(Flashback 8 years ago)
I was walking down the road near the star village when I lost Shizune, and tonton. That's when I ran into a little girl around the age of 9.
"Are you lost Ms?" She said
"Not really, just my companion and my pig. We seemed to go separate ways" I said smiling slightly. Being friendly is always the best option. I noted mentally.
"Would you like some help finding them" She said
I nodded in response. Sooner we started walking back the way we came when I suddenly heard her say "My name is Kiyomi what's your name?".
"Tsunade" I said before asking her "Aren't you supposed to be home, your parents might not like the idea of you helping a stranger".
"Don't worry about that. My parents are no longer in this world. As for me I'm on a journey to become stronger." Kiyomi said while smiling
Soon after I found Shizune and ton ton. I thanked Kiyomi, and soon after we started traveling together. We became quite close. I learned more about her life and the secrets she holds where she learned the same things about me too.
(End of Flashback)
"Well Kiyomi you do realize it's been about eight since we last met, right?" I asked her
"Really that long" She exclaimed
"Your still the same, but I wonder did you enjoy your travels among the five nations?" I asked
"Yup, it was super exciting I did a lot of super exciting stuffs, and meet cool people too and I almost mastered one of my elements, and my thaijutsu improved greatly too" She said proudly
Last time I saw you, you were like Naruto reckless and strong. You hadn't learned about the elements or anything. Now I wonder how much stronger you become and the elements you have learned. Seriously it's only been eight years and yet it feels only like yesterday you said your goodbye to train and learn more about the world.
"So before we a catch up and all, would you like some help with your work?" She asked
"Sure" Before I could finish Kiyomi was already making shadow clones. Ten minutes later the room was sparkling clean, paper work all done and place into the category. "When did you learn about how to do Hokage's paper work?" I asked her as she placed the final stack of papers into the improvements on the village.
"Well when I was traveling, there was a village who was in trouble with bandits, money issues, village improvements and all. So I decide to help. Spending hours in the library studying about the nations and all really does pay off." Kiyomi spoke
"Well then it's time to catch up" She said dragging me out of the room and into the open fresh air of the village.
Timeskip
(Kiyomi's POV)
It was already night time. Spending time with Tsunade really does make the time fly. It was only morning when I arrived here.
"Tsunade I have something I want to ask you" I said while eat a stick containing dangos.
"Sure what is it?" She replied
"I want to live here in the village. I want to become a shinobi of the leave village, and a Anbu member." I said while sticking the dangos down my throat.
"I don't see the problem since I trust you, but you have to verus Sakura Haruno my underling. If you beat her you become Jounin, and you can join the elite Anbu team" Tsunade said while drinking another cup of sake
"Deal!" I said before shaking her hand
"Also"She said, dammit I knew there would be a catch.
"When if you beat her you have to attend the Inter-Nation academy located here in the village" She said.
"Really!, okay"I said. That doesn't seem hard
"But if you lose you do my bidding!" She said before laughing, "And Kiyomi if you want you can stay at the Uchiha compound" She continued
"Okay, when do we start?" I said smiling
