Chapter 2
As the sun hit the highest parts of the sky, three cloaked figures could be seen walking slowly towards a huge pair of iron gates. When they were within range the crouched down in unison and shot up into the sky and landed on the iron gate.
"Home sweet Home" The tallest of them whispered pulling down the hood of her black cloak showing Pale blond hair that was in a thick braid over her shoulder and bangs framing the left side of her face. It also revealed pale blue eyes and the right one had a red ring around it.
"Let's go report to Ji-chan what Itachi-sensei said" The shortest one murmured jumping down from the gate. The other two followed her and the disappeared in a flash of lighting before Kotetsu or Izumo noticed them.
The wandered into the Hokage tower and slipped by the secretary who was drooling at something at her mini computer. The pale blonde knocked at the door and they waited until they heard a Powerful firm voice boom through the door
"Come in"
They entered the Hokage's office and the shortest one of them smirked when she noticed him tense almost immediately
"State your business" He said his tone cold. The Pale blonde one looked familiar but he couldn't place it yet.
"Aww. Ji-chan, don't you recognize us?" The shortest one cooed as she dropped her hood revealing Golden blond hair in a high ponytail and bangs covering the right side of her face. One bright cerulean blue eyes was shining with mirth. Three faint whisker marks adorned each cheek. The Hokage's mouth dropped open
"N-Noriko?!" He gasped as the third cloaked figure dropped her hood uncovering uncovering Short Blue hair that brushed lightly against her shoulders. Pale lavender eyes stared back into the Hokage's shocked filled ones. Like the pale blond her left eye had a red ring around it.
"Hinata...Ino? I didn't know you were supposed to be back today" He forced him speak. He couldn't believe that it had been 7 years already. All three girls had matured greatly.
"Yeah, We were supposed to be back three days ago but somebody wasn't willing to go that easy" Noriko but emphasis on the word 'Somebody' and rolled her eyes. Hinata and Ino laughed thinking about a certain swordsman of the mist. The Hokage smiled looking at them proudly
"How is..Itachi" He said. He knew the young ninja although 20 now was still affected by the killing of his parents. And he was even more affected by Sasuke's hatred for him. Ino frowned a little. The girls knew about the incident and didn't blame Itachi. It was for the good of Konoha after all
"He hopes that Sasuke becomes a good Ninja to kill him. He feels that'll be the only way that Sasuke can forgive him. He acts like it doesn't bother him most of the time but I used my mind transfer Jutsu to look into his smiled" Ino looked a little guilty at that but she continued "I know he has nightmares about it and he beats himself up about it"
The Hokage nodded in thought. He knew this would put a strain on the older Uchiha but Itachi was the only one who could have done the job. He wasn't a prodigy for nothing.
"I want you to tell me all about you adventures while I sign you up for the Ninja academy to take the Genin exams" Sarutobi said getting out some papers as the girls took the chairs in front of the Hokage's Desk.
For the next hour or so they girls spilled what little details Itachi allowed them to spill.
As the Hokage listened to them he noticed they spill their whereabouts to him. They only told about places they had traveled and the Hokage was almost sure that was a cover story.
Hinata told him about Hyuga techniques she had created on her own using the scrolls Sarutobi sent with Itachi. Ino made up her own Mind Techniques . Noriko told him about her Fox techniques that Kyuubi allowed them to use, Noriko more so than the other girls.
"That's all we'll tell you of course, A ninja's greatest weapon is his hidden abilities." Hinata said after a while and Sarutobi smiled as a knock sounded on the door
"Come in" Sarutobi boomed and the door opened and Hiashi, Hizashi, and Neji stepped in followed by Mikoto, Shisui, Inoichi, Iruka and Kakashi.
"You called Hokage-Sama?" Hiashi spoke first. The Hokage was about to open his mouth to reply but the girls stood up and turned around, small smiles gracing their faces
"Father..Uncle Hizashi..Cousin Neji" Hinata said as her Fathers lips parted letting out a soft gasp. Neji's eyes widened just a little and Hizashi who always showed more emotions made the most comical face you could see on a Hyuga.
"H-Hinata?!" Hizashi gasped, who struggled to pick his chin off the ground
"Ino?" Inoichi said slowly before he crushed in a bone breaking hug
"Daddy!" Ino squealed. Inoichi could feel his bones creaking as he weakly patted his daughters back.
"I-ino...C-can't..b-breathe" He struggled out and Ino let him go
"Oops! Sorry" She giggled. She tucked some of her hair behind her ear and Inoichi stepped back to look at her. He felt his face twitch in annoyance 'Sorry Shikaku, But I think Boys will be more troublesome in my case' He thought to himself.
"Ah, Little Fishcake. It's been a long time" Shisui grinned in an un-uchiha fashion as he ruffled the short blonde hairs
"Mou Shisui! Stop calling me that. I'm not little anymore!" Noriko pouted rolling her eyes. Shisui laughed and stepped out of the way letting a over excited Mikoto tackled the poor girl
"Noriko-Chan!" She squealed smashing the blue turning blonde into her rather voluptuous chest.
"Ma Auntie Miko-chan, We'd rather have Noriko alive and breathing rather than dead wouldn't we?" Shisui said patting his Aunt's shoulder. Mikoto let the girl go who took a dramatic gulp of air.
"I-i missed you too Auntie Mikoto" Noriko said finally after calming down her breathing.
"Holy...Shit" Iruka muttered as Kakashi dropped his orange book.
"She's...grown" Kakashi said and Iruka smacked him on top of the head
"She's still a minor, Pedo" Iruka growled. Kakashi rubbed the top of his and eye smiled at Iruka
"I wasn't saying it like that" He said in sugary sweet voice to which Iruka rolled his eyes at
"Yeah sure"
"Still a pervert, Are we?" Noriko said and she picked up the orange book. Kakashi went to grab it from her but she dodged his hand, grinning mischievously
"Hand that over Nori..." Kakashi said in a low voice. Noriko stuck her tongue out and squealed loudly when Kakashi lunged at her.
"NEVER!" She yelled running behind The Hokage making Kakashi stop short. Sarutobi watch with amusement as Kakashi wondered to get his precious orange book and be punished or let the mischievous brat destroy...Wait.. She already did that.
Anime tears spilled from Kakashi's eyes as Noriko used it as Target practice. Sarutobi's shoulders shook with mirth but inside his heart went out to Kakashi 'I'm glad it's not my book'
After a while the Hokage cleared his throat and everyone stood to attention.
"Unfortunately, after the events of Uchiha massacre, I was forced to tell the civilians that you were in the Uchiha compound at the time of the massacre and so everyone thinks your dead because Itachi took you three. So since you're back I am wondering if you have other names that Itachi called you by while out side of the Village?" Sarutobi looked the girls
"Well, Noriko goes by Nori, I go by Ina and Hinata goes by Hina" Ino said adjusting her cloak on her shoulders. Sarutobi nodded
"Well that's fine. Last names?" Sarutobi asked raising a eyebrow
"Yakushi" Nori spoke up this time. Everyone in the room looked at the for a elaboration on why that last name but nothing came out of the girls. The stood tall and blank faced until everyone sighed
"Well alright. Tomorrow is the Genin exams. So go on ahead and rest up" The Hokage shooed them out of his office and everyone spilled out. Hina raised her cloak over her head as they stepped out into the public eye.
"Let's go shopping" Nori murmured softly as people stared.
Ina, Nori, Hina and Mikoto wandered off from the group of guys walking down to the more expensive parts of Konoha where they encountered a store for female ninja wear. They walked inside the store and Hinata dropped her hood at the sight of the mostly empty story.
"Well, Get whatever you want and I'll pay" Mikoto said and she held up a hand to shush the girls "No buts. Now go"
A couple hours or so later, The girls finished trying on outfits and finally chose one.
"Alright. I like this. It's very comfortable and I could easily move around in it" Ina commented stepping out of the Dressing room wear Mikoto could see her. Ina wore a pair of tight cargo pants. She had four pockets going down each leg. She had a sleeveless dark purple shirt. Her ninja sandals were black and she had a pair of finger less gloves with metal plates on the back.
"You look great" Mikoto compliment as Ino started taking her braid out of her hair.
They both turned around as Hina stepped out of the second dressing room. She wore a pair of black shorts that stopped at mid-thing. Her legs were covered in fishnet leggings that reached down to her ankles. She wore a black belly top that showed off her toned stomach. On top of it all she wore a white trench coat that stopped a little below the shorts and black Ninja sandals.
"I swear Hinata always has a thing for fishnet leggings" Ino muttered as she nodded in approval to her surrogate sister's outfit
"They are comfortable, I swear" Hinata said tying a black cloth around her eyes. She could see through it but no one could see her eyes.
"I'm so freaking done with picking out outfits, This looks good so I'm gonna keep it" Nori muttered as she stepped out the dressing room. She wore Black leggings that stop under her knees, She has a sleeveless tight dress that stops at mid-thigh. It has a line of blue up the front and a Orange Uzumaki swirl on the upper right. She wears black Ninja sandals and black finger less gloves. On her arm was a black snake with red slit eyes twisting and moving around her arm like a intricate design.
She brushes her hair from her face revealing a blood red eye for a second before her golden hair covered it again. If Mikoto noticed, She didn't say a word.
"Yeah, It suits you." Hinata commented pulling her hair away from being tied in the cloth. Mikoto studied all three girls for a moment and then she clapped her hands together
"Lets get you a couple copies of those outfits and then we can go" Mikoto said leading the three girls to the cashier.
After lunch, Nori studied the paper in her hand to the their new house. Kakashi dropped it off while they were eating.
"Is this it?" Ina asked pointing to a medium sized white and black house.
"I think so" Nori muttered looking down at the paper
"Let's just try the key" Hina said jamming the key into the door which opened the house. They moved their way into the house pushing past each other to get a look. The living room floor was carpeted and they had a small flat screen tv in the middle of the living room against the wall on a stand and a plushy looking green couch right in front of it. There was a small wooden table in between the couch and the tv. Against the wall was a huge bookshelf filled with Ninja books and fiction books.
Dropping their bags by the door and taking off their shoes, they wandered into the kitchen. There was nice sized refrigerator which was already stocked and so were the cabinets above the fridge and the stove. There was a wooden table in the middle of the kitchen with four chairs.
Still looking around in awe they grabbed their things and headed up the stairs. There was a Linen closet filled with towels, blankets, sheets and pillow cases. There was a huge bathroom next to the linen closet. And Across from the Bathroom and linen there three doors. Each had their names on it.
"IT'S ORANGE AND BLACK!" Nori squealed dropping her bag and twirling around her room. The walls were painted black they had splashes of orange all over. The curtains on the window by the closet were orange and her big fluffy blanket was orange but she had black pillows.
Ina shook her head as she wandered into her room. The walls were painted a nice sky blue and her curtains were white. Her comforter was blue but her sheets were white with cream pillow cases. Ina dropped into her bed sighing as it claimed her tired body.
"Wow" Hina said in amazement as she took in the lavender colored walls. Like Ina her curtains were white. Her comforter was a pale lavender color and her pillows were a dark purple color. Hina collapsed on her bed falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
~Well, That is all for this chapter! ily guys!
