"Finally got it all done," the 8th Hokage of Konoha sighed in relief. The yellow haired man by the name of Naruto leaned back comfortably against his chair. He had finally sent the file attachments to the rest of the kages, through his laptop, in the other nations involving potential threats that would possibly arise someday[1].

After the war the years after that became more and more peaceful. There was almost no threat whatsoever, at least not a major one to worry about. The usual bandits and criminals who proclaimed they were major threats, but those didn't last too long. They lasted maybe a week, half a month tops. It was nothing to be really concerned about.

Naruto stared up at the ceiling. He had finally become Hokage and it felt good, he loved it. This was his dream and it made it even more sweeter to know that he proved a lot of people who looked down on him wrong. The only thing that irked him slightly was the amount of work he had to deal with. He knew it came with being Hokage but sometimes he just wishes he could spend an entire day with his family or maybe take Hinata out on a date, play with his children, maybe even some training. There was so much he wanted to do that he couldn't do now because of his title. He's been working on so many files, reading over some new ideas for the village, and then doing his usual check up of the village to be certain that everything was at peace. Sometimes the paperwork he received would make no sense whatsoever to him so he'd have Shikamaru or Shizune help him. He was so grateful for them, they have saved his butt so many times when it came to making the right decision in something. But, today was different. Today Naruto actually got everything done! He could actually spend some time with his family and get home early, not just go when everybody was already sound asleep.

Naruto smiled and then stood up from his seat. "It's time to clean up!" He said in a happy tone. He was going to spend some time with his family at last! Sure, the sun was almost down but at least they weren't going to be asleep when he got there. He pushed in his chair to assure it under his desk. He closed his laptop after he logged off his user profile and shut it off. He slid open a drawer on the bottom of the desk and placed his laptop inside. That drawer needed a key to be opened, a key he had, so he always made sure to put his laptop there since he had important files saved. He rounded the scattered papers on his desk and filed them properly over each other. He put those papers away in the top right drawer of his desk. All of those papers were requests he's approved and denied. "I have to make sure to give those to Shizune tomorrow," he said aloud to himself as a reminder. Now that he was finally done cleaning he could go now..unless someone just decided to stop him on his way out which would suck pretty bad if they did.

Naruto made his way towards the door, stepping outside his usual work place and then walked down the hallway towards the entrance of the mansion. When he finally stepped outside he was greeted by a wonderful sunset that he was able to witness for himself. The usual blue colors of the sky mixing with the orange, yellow, and red cascading over it. It made the view worth while. The gentle breeze picking up ever so slightly to make it evident that the dark would darken and the small pecks of light that adorned the sky would soon show.

The streets of the village were always less crowded when it began to get dark. Sometimes it got Naruto down since he wouldn't be able to see how lively it actually is when the sun is up, but a quiet walk home doesn't sound at all that bad. He was sure that Hinata was home by now with his children. Hinata always took their children every day to visit Neji to keep his memory alive in them. Sakura did the same with Sarada for Sasuke to keep Itachi's memory alive.

If it wasn't for Neji then Naruto and Hinata would probably not have been here right now. When he had free time Naruto went on his seperate visits to Neji as well. Neji's a hero, to Naruto he'll always be. Naruto owed Neji so much and he also knew how much he was missed. Team Gai, along with Hinata and the clan missed him a lot. Ocassionally he would see Tenten in front of his grave. He couldn't help but to feel bad, because somewhere within him Naruto blamed himself for Neji's death.

It's funny how quiet walks in a darkening day could bring up so much.

Naruto could feel his spirits begin to go low, that wasn't something he wanted because he was going to be spending time with his family. "Come on! No time for this!" He gave himself a few slaps and came to a decision of speeding his course home. He ran down the silent street towards his home trying to make the guilt in his chest disappear. It was safe to say that he was still not over Neji's death.

Night finally fell over Konoha. The streets were now empty and a gentle breeze blew from a distance into the village. Nobody was outside at this point, nobody except a man named Saku[2]. Saku was heading towards the graves without any rush. He had a shovel strapped on his back and his hands warmly in his pockets to protect them from the minimal cold that the Konoha night provided to its villagers. His crimson red eyes focused on the graves that were now able to be seen from the small distance he was away. He was humming a soft tune to himself, a type of tune that could imply that he was trying to calm his nerves if he had any. His stoic face portrayed no emotion but that was until he finally got to his destination. His shinobi sandals dug into the moist grass below them as he paced his steps. His crimson gaze now centered on the graves. He came to a stop midway a step when he read the name of a grave, having found the grave he was looking for. This is actually the fifth time this week he's been here. Saku was surprised in the second night at how bad the security of the village has been slacking. Goes to show how the peace era of peace they were in got to their heads. "Pathetic ninja," Saku let out a small chuckle and shook his head. "These idiots make my job way too easy." He slipped the shovel he had on his back and took hold of it. He then began to use it to dig up the respective grave he was aiming for this night.

"They won't know what hit them." He said with obvious rage rising in his voice.

Saku was a shinobi who fought in the war along with the United Nations. He was originally from the Sand village but decided to move into the Leaf village after a few given years. When he fought in the war he fought alongside his parents. The war was very traumatizing to him and with extreme honesty from his part he was actually against the five nations deciding to join and become one unstable force. He didn't deny that together they had strength that nobody could match to, but none the less he still felt like each nation should have been its own individual. During the war Saku lost his parents. That was a fatal blow for him, losing those he loved. As years passed by Saku never got over the death of his parents while everybody else seemed to be moving on, making their families, and starting new. Saku felt left behind and pissed off. Why did everybody else get to be happy and not him? How did these people have the nerve to forget everybody who sacrificed themselves for their future? It really pissed him off like nothing else. It just wasn't fair. This peace time everybody was in..Saku believed it wasn't deserved. Nobody deserved this peace along with the new generation. He was going to remind them of everything, he was going to make them feel his pain at last.

Saku panted, tired out of his constant digging. He wiped sweat off his forehead with his arm when he finally dug deep enough. He smirked at the sight of the casket. "There you are." He jumped off the casket and then pried it open and looked at the dead body that was inside with the smirk still plastered on his face. "You still look as good as new." Saku's shadow overshadowed the peaceful resting body. He scanned the person within the casket and nodded, pleased with what he sees.

"It's time to wake up, Neji Hyuuga."


[1] - If my memory serves me right. Naruto now had a laptop he could use so the modern growth in the series will take part in this fan fiction. XD

[2] - Saku is actually an original character of mine. I gave some information about him here but as chapters keep coming I'll be adding more and more to him, but yes he's the bad guy here.

I hope you guys enjoyed it. Please review and tell me what you think, any ideas are always welcomed. Thank you for reading it, I really appreciate that. I'll see all of you soon with the next chapter.
