I went my way into the house of a pink-haired girl named Mana Aida. To say the least, she is one girl who is determined to help anyone no matter what the cost is. Her attitude is kinda like my former teammates; my knuckle-headed rival Naruto Uzumaki and also she's naive like my former teammate Sakura Haruno. Speaking of those two, I went back on their side after a talk with my older brother, Itachi, caused me to rethink of my vengeance against the Hidden Leaf for ordering him to kill off the entire Uchiha Clan, and a storytelling from the First Hokage about what the life of a shinobi and the village's fate should be.

As I entered her home by the window, I saw Mana sleeping. Anyway, I'm going to wake her up and I just know how. Taking a look at her alarm clock, that's the key. I set it up to the time and put it on her ear. She suddenly sprung into surprise and fell down from her bed.

"Well, it's about time you got up," I stated rudely.

"Wha-?" she said in surprise, then looks at the window that I opened. I knew she's going to scream because it's like I'm breaking into her house.

"I swear I'm not a thief. I got something to tell you and it's very important," I cover her mouth to stop her from screaming. "Understand?"

This finally convinced her so I let go of her mouth.

"But why did you have to come here by the window?" she asked in dismay as she climbs back to bed.

"Because I'm a ninja and ninjas stay in the dark," I replied darkly. Well, it's one of the great qualities of being a ninja unless it is right to show himself from the shadow. "Anyway, I got something important to tell you."

"And what's that?"

"It's about Regina," I turned her attention around when I said that name. She is in sadness when I said it. That must mean she has a found a friend in her, not to mention she lost her on that afternoon when she's brainwashed by her father, King Selfish.

"Why? Why would he...? She's his daughter so why did he have to brainwash her back to his side?" Mana puts her hands over her face as tears fall out of her eyes from that moment. Just as I thought. Ever since she had Regina living with her, she started to grow fond of her.

"If there's one thing her father can't stand for, it's defection. That's why he keeps his minions in line and enslaved Regina into doing his bidding when she started to disobey him," I explained as I take notice on her. This is because she's trying to be strong if she's ready to face her again. Now that her training is complete thanks to Aguri Madoka aka Cure Ace, I think it's time to do it. "Well, are you ready to see Regina again and save her?"

"Yes, I'm ready," was her reply.

"Good, because I have a plan and it has to done for tonight," I stated while putting my back behind a wall.

"Tonight? Why tonight? Why can't it be done by tomorrow?" she asked while she's rubbing her eyes.

"Because that way, we don't have to battle some monsters. And another thing, since Regina got the Glaive and Makopi's song ended in failure in getting her back to her senses, the best way to prevent her from getting that third treasure is to take her down. I also have a plan in mind," I stated smugly.

"What's that?" Mana is puzzled at this.

"To get your precious Regina back, that's what," I replied with no emotion.

As I said this, she looks all surprised and looking cheerful. No wonder she reminds me of what Naruto is like; therefore, she may be cheerful, but also naive.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah, let's go with that," I replied. "I come up with a plan to get her back to you, but I'm not sure if it will work or not."

"What are you going to do with her?"

Now it's time to tell her, but I will save some details later on.

"I will use an illusion jutsu on her. When I say jutsu, I mean it's a technique," I'm also telling her what the word jutsu means. "I will use that technique against her."

"And how will you do that?" Mana asked as she is still sitting on her bed.

"You'll see," I will save that technique when we confront her together, of course.

"This is amazing," she is astonished of my plan.

"It is. Before we go to Trump Kingdom, do you friends agree with you being friends with Regina?" I'm sure that not everyone can trust her hanging around with Mana.

"Well, although Rikka and Alice trusted me in doing this, Makopi is really angry with her and her father for ruining her kingdom that she is mad at me for befriending her. Eventually, she got over it after she saw her saved me. Then there's also Aguri, but she trusted Makopi into keep singing to reach people's hearts so she got over her grudge," Mana explained.

I see... This girl is so like Naruto, I thought.

"Now that you got a plan to get her back, I should call them!" Mana got up from bed happily and reached for her phone. However, I grabbed her hand as if I'm trying to stop her.

"Heads or tails," I pull out a coin. "Heads, I think we should do this my way as in we go to the fallen kingdom by ourselves only. It's just you and me. Tails, bring along those four see if they agree."

I flipped a coin and as it landed to my palm, it's tails so I let go of her hand and she called her friends to join in.

I waited outside her house to get dressed and as she got out, Mana is dressed in pink.

"Alice said to meet her at the front gate of her mansion. That way, she and others can meet you in person," she stated.

"Well, that's good," I stated with an emotionless tune.

"But how are we going to get there?"

I smirked at this when I pulled out a piece of the broken magic mirror. This is the key to enter the realm, of course.

"This is a piece of the magic mirror!" Mana gets hold of it in surprise. "How did you get this?"

"Let's get say I had a look around the place," I replied smugly. Come to think of it, she is never bothered with my attitude. "Let's go save Regina, huh?"

"Yeah, we should."

Mana and I run our way to her friend's mansion for my plan to begin. I just hope it would work.
