And now, for the sequel to 'Behind Violet Eyes', it's a must read before reading this. Thank you to everyone who supported that story, and to everyone who reads and supports this story as well!

Kakashi POV

The damage to the village had been severe, but thanks to our preparedness casualties had been minimal. However, Anko was a mess and the Hokage was equally shaken. Many of the genin, even those completely uninjured, stopped in the hospital every chance that they got. Of course, the girl had plenty of other visitors as well.

The rain was coming down around me as I stared at the memorial stone, and I resolved to train my own genin harder.

Anko POV

That fucking girl will be the death of me. If she doesn't die I might just fucking kill her when she wakes up. What kind of idiot does that shit? Goddamnit.

It's a good thing there's rain today, it hides the tears.

Iruka POV

The academy was more lifeless than usual, so many of the Watanabe children gone in light of recent events. Several of the clan members had fought to defend their sector during the fray, a few were injured, one was killed, and Violetta... Who knows what's going to happen?

The other children are somber too, as they stare out the windows into the rain. It's their first idea of what being a shinobi really means.

Tsume POV

Kiba's a wreck, Akamaru's a reck, Hana's a wreck, we're all a wreck in all honesty. In just a little time that girl had wormed her way firmly into our hearts, she became pack in a matter of moments, and then Kiba became her second that day. There's so much she hadn't told him yet.

He's beating himself up over not being able to protect her that day, but he doesn't realize that she didn't tell him to protect him. Like a true Inuzuka.

Kiba POV

I failed at the one thing an Inuzuka is supposed to be able to do. Protect their pack, it shouldn't be that hard. First Akamaru in the preliminaries, and then Violetta...

Why is it that the sky always mimics how you feel? The rain just makes the failure harder to bear.

Jiraiya POV(Tsunade comes back with him)

The Hokage had been in near tears when he sent me with the kid to find Tsunade, and I'd been spending every day training the little brat. Well, kind of training him. Looking at the kid is hard, he's got his mother's personality and his father's looks. However, I'm glad the old man made me bring him. I would never have been able to get Tsunade to come back with us, or drive off Orochimaru and his freaky little henchman.

As I look over at Tsunade and Shizune I smile, this kid's got a way about him that just brings people to him. Like moths to a flame, and who knows, maybe he will become the Hokage someday. Although, as I hear him antagonize Tsunade once again, I second guess that just a bit.

It'll be just a few more hours until we reach the village, and it's probably a good thing. I have no idea why- but a lot of people had been torn up about that little kunoichi that was in a coma after saving the Hokage's life. No one would give me any details on her, and even the Hokage told me that I didn't have clearance for the situation. Which makes no sense, who other than the Hokage himself would have clearance for something I don't?

Tsunade POV

Before they'd even let me go and see the Hokage, I was dragged to the hospital- on his orders. They showed me to a room where a young kunoichi was in a heavy coma. They explained the poison to me, and I immediately sent Shizune to get some research materials for me. Three days later, I performed a procedure to remove the toxins from her body. It took sixteen hours, and she'll probably sleep for a few more days, but she'll live.

Tonight I'm going to be inducted into the office of Hokage, and when she wakes up the Hokage says we'll have much to discuss.

Violetta POV

My body felt heavy, and it was like my mouth was stuffed full of cotton and my eyes sewn shut. Those are the first things I noticed, and then I heard the machines around me, soft snoring in the chair next to me, a small weight on my stomach, and bright lights from above me. Coughing roughly I attempt to bring my hands to my face, or even sit up, but my body is too exhausted. I hear a panicked rustling by my side, and suddenly hands are helping me sit up.

"Violetta! You're awake, here, drink this- carefully, okay?" Kiba brings a glass of water to my lips and helps me to take a few sips, a few coughs later, I finally manage to open my eyes. I have to squint due to the brightness of it, but turning to look at Kiba I give him a weak smile.

"Hey... How long was I out?" He shakes his head and sighs.

"Nearly a month, Lady Tsunade saved you and was inducted in as the fifth Hokage two nights ago. They thought it'd be a few more days before you woke up. Akamaru, go let a nurse know about this okay? And then run and see Violetta's grandfather as well."

I blink wearily at him, "My grandfather is still in town? Where's everyone else?" He shrugs.

"Your mom went with your aunt back to where she's from apparently, there's a situation there and all available clan members with children that are already of age were asked to go. Since you were unconscious and there was nothing to do, she went to help out." I nod and lay back onto the mattress. A nurse comes in then, and shoos Kiba out of the room. Tsunade enters as the nurse is taking my vitals.

"Well, well, look at you. Awake and kicking already, eh? You had me worried when I first came, but according to the old man, we have some things to talk about. So, when the nurse is done with your vitals I'll do your check-up, and we'll have a little chit chat, yeah?"

Tsunade POV

I downed another thing of sake. I couldn't believe the things that girl had told me- but how could I not? She knew enough to be able to save the old man, and that in and of itself was impressive. Pouring another glass I sigh, and down it as well. Good thing I sent Shizune on some errands, this is going to be a rough few weeks. Especially since I have to monitor the physical therapy of two very stubborn gening, Violetta and that Rock Lee kid.
