My regular style seems so different to me, when compared to the way my dream moves. Different styles are fun to do, though, and I hope the transistion goes smoothly. I've even attempted a science fiction style for a dream that reminds me of the beginning of Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Sasuke remembered purple eyes the second he turned his back on Naruto, and he kept remembering. It was just that he wanted to know her name, to hear her tell him something more about the strive toward perfection she spoke of, or was that really it? It was more, an reaction to a false ideal people called perfection. And then, when he saw Naruto again, and saw how he'd grown, he'd fought, for Sasuke even though he had just left him lying in the water-You didn't kill him, though-he remembered the exact words, and whispered them in the darkness of his room, where terrible things had been done to and by him in a strive toward perfection. "Why resent someone who's perfect?" he asked himself.

"Because you can't beat a perfect person," She told him, perfectly,cleary. He could see the way her mouth had moved and her eyes had glared as if he had memorized it with the Sharingan. "A perfect person makes no mistakes, and that means they leave no hole in defense or attack. You can't even tire a perfect person out. They get stuck in your brain as you form scenario after scenario to defeat them, and you just end up hating yourself more. Anyone would resent someone who makes them hate themself. You want to get rid of them, so that you won't feel like that, but you can't, because you think they're perfect!"

And now he got it. It was his brother. Why, after all this time of forgetting Naruto, forgetting Sakura and Kakashi and the Rookie Nine and team Guy, did he suddenly? "Augh!" He slammed his fist in the wall, causing large cracks with his release of energy, and went to do something useful with his time, fighting and training until his brain was numb and he was normal again.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

In Konohagakure, in Tsunade's office, she was there. The purple-eyed, raven-haired, little figment of his imagination. Tsunade looked at her long and hard before speaking. "What are you doing here? I sent you out this morning, and the village is half a day's walk away." It was growing dark outside. "You would have to turn around as soon as you got there, and you were supposed to catch a missing nin. Aren't you a jounin? You're as bad as Naruto."

The jounin grinned. "I caught him on the way there!" she told Tsunade. "He was lazy and walking around all by himself. He even fell into his own trap!"

Tsunade sighed and eyed the purple orbs, shaking her head. "You aren't supposed to use a Bloodline limit so lightly. Turn it off, I'm not lying to you." With a blink, the eyes were blue.

"Sorry, sorry!" She blushed and rubbed the back of her head. "I wasn't doing it on purpose."

"I know. But you should be careful with your chakra reserves."

"Yes ma'am." She grinned. Oh, Tsunade thought, just like Naruto.

"I know that it's kind of hard to explain, but what exactly do you see with those eyes? Even I don't understand myself, and I'm Hokage." Tsunade only spoke so lightly with her, she mused, because of that personality. It was like Naruto's, but it was a lot gentler and made people want to open up instead of sigh most of the time.

"Well, to me, it's like the chakra forms pictures," her young jounin tried to explain, "pictures of feelings, and aspects. With you though, I can barely see anything at all, cause you're so much older then me. As one gets older, their system follows a steadier flow, like this." She took up a chalk and drew a system on the chalkboard kept next to the desk for such moments. "A kid's system is less stable, like this," she drew quickly and steadily, "and so I can read it better. But for adults, because they're used to the pattern, I can use my limit to change one part of the flow so that they get jumbled. It's a mixture of taijutsu and genjutsu, and allows me to use regular genjutsu more effectively."

"Hmm." Tsunade let her eyes flit across the screen. "It's a good thing you're on our side."

"I can only do it to one person at a time," she interupted, trying to explain. She was such a worrywart, Tsunade had to smile.

"That's not what I mean. I mean, we don't know very much about your ancestry, but that you have civilian parents who run a flower shop."

"That's why I came back so quickly." The youth pulled out a scroll from her pocket. "The missing nin was carrying this. It relates a family geneology. This family's bloodline is held only by woman, and they have married into nearly every high family in the Fire, River, and Wind Countries. They have a bloodline limit marked in purple called Shikon. It gives no explanation of the bloodline."

"Do you think you came from a branch of this family? If they mixed Sharingan, Byakugan, Shikon, and other such limits that dealt with the use of the eyes to see systems, what could they have created? But..."

"But wouldn't each child only have one limit? How could they share them?" The youth finished, and then the door slammed open.

"Tsunade-obaa-chan!" came the loud and wild voice of Naruto, who hadn't changed much over the years, startling both of them into knocking over Tsunade's tea cup onto the ground. Tsunade sighed and rubbed in between her eyes. Naruto. All she had to do was think about him and he came. She wasn't listening to whatever he was saying until he suddenly asked a question in a different tone of voice. "Hey, who's this? I've never seen her before."

Tsunade glanced at the jounin, then spoke, also to Kakashi, Sakura, and Lee as they walked in more quietly. "This is Matsujo Kamoyuki. She's a jounin, so you wouldn't know her." Sakura handed a sheaf of papers to Tsunade, and she took them gladly.

"Here is the report." She turned to Matsujo and bowed her head; even though she was a little bit older and Tsunade's student, this was a jounin. "Pleased to meet you, Kamoyuki-san."

"Pleased to meet you," replied Matsujo, and bowed her head as well.

"I am Sakura Haruno, and this is Rock Lee." The pink haired ninja introduced her neighbor.

"Pleased to meet you!" he replied with the vigor of youth. He was just like his teacher.

"I have spoken with Gai-san many times about you. Pleased to meet you. And I already know Kakashi-kun!" She smiled up at him with an infectious grin. "I've known him since I was very young."

"Have you seen his face then?" Naruto asked with open glee. "Tell me what it looks like."

"If you do, Matsu-chan," Kakashi told her with a smile in his eye, "I will take away all of your teddy bears and give them to Pakkun."

"Eek!" Matsujo replied. "I'll never tell."

"Her obsession with collecting squishy things rivals your perverted book obsession." Tsunade told Kakashi, then turned to the current team of youngsters. "Alright, glad to see you're all getting along! Matsujo will join you as the fourth member of the team for your next mission."

"We're going together on another mission?" Sakura asked, slightly confused.

"Yes. The last mission was given to you because you were the best left in the village who fit it. But this time, if fits you four the best out of all the other chunnin. Naruto can just come along, but Sakura's medical jutsu as well as both her and Lee's taijutsu will work well together with Matsujo's genjutsu. You must follow her instructions perfectly though, because it is an important mission."

Naruto was fuming, and now he let it all out. "Why do we have to follow a little kid?" he asked. Matsujo's eyes twitched and there was a slight purple flame before Kakashi lowered her head protector to cover it with remarkable speed.

"I'm fine, Kakashi-kun." Matusjo lifted her forehead protector, and indeed, her eyes were blue, but the veins in her temples were standing out. She glared at Naruto. "You should follow me because I can teach you something that will bring him back."

Naruto was gaping. "How do you know that?" It was Sakura who asked. Then she looked behind her at the chalkboard, and her eyes narrowed as she studied it. "This is your bloodline limit? It doesn't make any sense, it's like Sharigan and Byakugan at the same time with more control. You need taijutsu to use it, that's why...," she took up to chalk and wrote in a clean area. "Is it like this? or like this?" she asked, and Matsujo smiled and stepped next to her. So they were talking fast and steady, and Tsunade just smiled and looked down warily at the geneology in front of her. "Your dismissed for now," she told the others without looking up, and guessed that the two girls would have a battle plan in no time at all.
