Summary: Naru would become a hokage the following day, but something bothering her. And while she was thinking about it, a figure approached, someone she was familiar with…

World Wide

In the middle of the night, there was a figure sitting on the edge of cliff. This young man, or I should young lad, was gazing at the dark blue sky with those many sparkling stars on it. Her long blonde hair that pulled in ponytail swayed as the wind blew through. It seemed she didn't care about the cold air and the freezing ground. Her only defense was her thin orange jacket that cling her small body. She wore black T-shirt and black baggy pants. She still wore her kunai pouch as always, didn't want someone attack her all of sudden and she didn't have any weapon. She was strong, heck, maybe the strongest kunoichi on her village, but she didn't want to give any opportunity to anybody.

Her azure blue orbs eyes glowed beautifully as she stared at the sky. There were many emotions that played there. Sad, depressed, lone, distracted, betrayed, hurt, pain, yet it still made her looked beautiful. All of the male population in her village knew that, even the males from other villages had come on purpose just want to see her. Though she didn't give any attention to this. She was too distracted to fulfill her dream. And tomorrow, it would be the day. The day the village approved her, respected her, and above of all, loved her.

Her feet swaying on the edge of the cliff as she kept staring at that miraculous sky. Yes, tomorrow would be her day. But something seemed off, that was why she was out there instead of sleeping on her warm blanket on her soft bed. No, she was there, sitting on the wet and cold ground on top of her favorite head of Hokage, the fourth, her father.

She had known long time ago. It really was not that hard to realize that. She had his color of eyes and hair, yet there were not anyone with that kind of hair around. And when the Kyuubi attacked, he used a baby to seal it. For being someone like him, he wouldn't have heart to use his villagers' baby. He wouldn't allow himself to do that, even he had to use his own body. But to seal the demon, he needed body which still didn't have a lot of chakra, so it would accept the demon's chakra without so much effort and absorb it. If he used himself, he would dead and the demon would be once again free as bird that flied through the sky. That was why he used his only kid, his only daughter.

At first, when she knew that the Fourth was her father, she couldn't put her feeling. She had idolizing him, and she wanted to be a Hokage like him, to sacrifice herself for the village. But then again, he had put Kyuubi on her. And because of that, she got hit, punched, kicked, slapped, slammed, burned, abused. Sometime she still got nightmare about her childhood. But because him, she became what she was now. She was strong, she got a friend that wouldn't leave her alone-Kyuubi, the nine tailed demon fox, she got an ability to cover her feelings-it was good asset for a shinobi and she was now a good actress. All she could do was to accept the fact and lived with it. She still didn't know what feel. Feel sorry? Happy? Gratitude? Hate?

She knew the story behind the Kyuubi sealing from her sensei, the Perv Hermit, Jiraiya. Maybe she should called him her former sensei, but she couldn't. He had been her mentor for almost all of her time as a ninja. And she never ever called him sensei for once in his life. Not even a single word. That was why she couldn't abandon him; called him former sensei as he, until now, still inspired her in any ways.

She sat still, thinking about what was off. Everything was perfect, she would get her title for being a hokage, she was the apprentice of the Toad Sage, she got mother and father figure, she got to know her biological parents, she got a much more acceptable and comfortable building called home, she got ramen everyday, she got a lot of friends, her old team was always there for her…

She stiffed at this thought. She got it now. She almost forgot about it. No, maybe she didn't want to remember it. It didn't mean she hated team seven, no, she liked a lot, she loved it. The team was the first society she had ever been through. She liked them all. They were almost like siblings to her. They fought together, they laughed together, they even cried together. But she didn't, or it should be couldn't, feel that way anymore for a long time. One had left, leaving the other three's heart shattered into pieces. They had given all of their strength to get him back, but nothing could change his mind. She had hoped that he would let go his anger towards his brother. But her hope was crashed when he said that his destiny was to kill his brother. That was why she busied herself to become hokage. She wanted to forget about him, to ease the pain, to forget her feeling towards him, to bury her love.

Yeah, she loved him. She didn't even know it was exist, didn't know it was there all the time. She realized it when she saw him for the first time after his betrayed. Her heart pounded so hard and all she could hear was her own heartbeat. And there was a tingling sensation on her heart and that made her surprisingly very glad and happy. She couldn't stop her blood to rush up into her face, even though she could cover it up. And then she realized that she was in love with Sasuke Uchiha.

She said to him that she couldn't be hokage if she couldn't save a friend. That was right, she couldn't, even she got the title, she couldn't be a hokage she had dreamt of.

She buried her head in her arms, thinking what she had done and what she should do. Suddenly, she felt someone approaching. That man had hidden its chakra signature, but she could feel it. She moved her hand to her kunai pouch and got ready for attack, not turning around. The attack didn't come. Slowly, but aware, she stood and turned around to see who the intruder was. She knew it was not from her village as she didn't familiar with the chakra signature, but she had known it before. But she couldn't put the time, the place and the person who it was belong.

Her sparkling blue eyes grew wider as she saw who it was. There was a standing man, wearing black cloak, stared back at her. His short raven black hair moved as the wind blew. His ebony pitch black eyes locked on her blue orbs ones. Not a word was said for a couple of minutes, until one decided to break the silence.

"Naru"

His soft voice had made her back to herself and as she had composed herself, she looked at him with so much determination and lack of emotion.

"What are you doing here?" Her hand still on her pouch as she readied herself for the possible battle that may occurred all of sudden. Her eyes looked suspiciously to the other man.

"I had fulfilled my destiny."

Her eyes widen once again as she heard the news. That mean he had killed his brother, Itachi Uchiha. She looked at him again. His prideful expression had never changed, even after 5 years. That made her angry. That face never changed even after he had betrayed her, destroying her friendship, and most of all, shattering her heart. Her face hardened as the anger slipped through her body, not took over her, just a little.

"Then?" She took her kunai from her pouch. "What brings you here?" She brought her kunai in front of her in a defense stance.

He stared at her. She couldn't read his expression as his cloak covered half of his face; the distance between them was not helping either. But she felt that his aura changed slightly. She didn't know what, but it felt like hurt. Why would he felt hurt? She couldn't figure it out.

"I've told you. Don't you remember?" His voice was soft, almost like he wanted her to understand.

Now, she was confused. What the hell he was talking about? She didn't have any idea about what it was. She repeated her memory with him, though it hurt her so much, to find what it was. After a couple of second, she still couldn't picture it.

Even with her confusing mind, she still held her defense stance. She didn't want to give him any chance to distract her. Though, he gave her no sign that he would attack her in any time soon. But, he was ninja, an A-rack even. There would be no mercy to give him any softness.

"What thing I should remember? I don't recon have any memory about that." She said with slight sarcasm on it, though she really didn't understand it.

"I guess nothing is same as it was." He lowered his cloak, uncovering his pale face, his lips turned into his famous smirk. "It has been 5 years after all."

He stepped closer to her. She stiffed as he walked slowly toward her, but still managed to hold her stance. He stopped 2 feet away in front of her, staring at her with so much intensity. She opened her mouth to ask him what his intension was, but was stopped when he began to speak.

"I told you that I would kill a certain man." He waited, silently asking for her reaction, her understanding. She nodded slowly, not breaking her eye contact. "And I said that I would retrieve my clan." Once again, she nodded.

He walked a step closer. The smirk never left his face.

"I'm here to fulfilled it."
