Disclaimer : I do not own naruto (I do own Rei)


It has been a year since Rei started training under Ibiki. She hadn't seen Naruto or the others for what felt like decades. A sly smile adorn her face walking through the all to familiar streets thinking of how they would react to her reappearance. She wasn't able to enter the Chunin Exams but that was only because the elders of the Konoha Council found her skills to be superior to those of regular standard. She understood though and still doesn't.

She was a little disappointed that she wouldn't be able to show off what she had learned right away but rei guess it could wait.

A black sleeveless turtle neck clanged to her curves. She wore black shorts that went down mid thigh with the Konoha head band strapped to her waist. Her ginger locks placed in a messy bun.

"Kita" hearing her sensei's voice she stopped as Ibiki caught up with her. They were headed to the stadium to watch the round of fights. She couldn't wait to see how much stronger her former friends had gotten.

Ibiki wouldn't say it out loud but he was proud of his student. When she first came to him she was a scrawny fragile girl. What was the Hokage thinking when placing this girl under his care? Each day was a struggle for her.

Flash back

Panting rei lifted herself up from the ground. "Is that all you can muster up" Ibiki's voice was stern and filled with disappointment. The girl growled out and charged at him, he dodge her head on attack making her face plant the ground once again. This earned a snarl from the frustrated ginger "Just you watch" she yelled out "I going to surpass the Hokage just you wait" the man glared at her disrespectful tone "Listen here kid" he sighed "If you want to surpass the hokage you'll first have to defeat me first". Wiping the small trail of blood from her lips rei got up and took a defense stance 'so she finally realized that a head on attack doesn't work' with a smirk he too took the same stance.

Flash back ends

'She sure is something else' He smirked to himself. They made their way to the stadium and instead of sitting together Rei kept begging to stay by the 3rd Hokage's side. "What for there are Anbu watching after him closely" Rei creased her brows and put on a pleading face. Sighing Ibiki really didn't want to go through this. If only he really knew the true reason in why she was insisting. Something didn't set right when they got there and Rei was afraid that her beloved hokage was in danger. Ibiki caved in and shooed her off. With a bow she ran straight to the hokage.

The old man watched as rei ran up to him "Well if it isn't the little wild fire" she looked him straight in the eye making his joyful smile disperse "what's wrong child" catching her breath she bows before him getting on one knee "Please allow me to accompany you" he didn't know why she was like this but nonetheless he lifted her up and smiled once again "If you truly think it's necessary then I will allow you to" he placed a hand on her shoulder "Shall we go" nodding they walked to the stand where the Hokage and Kazekage sat.

As the fight began Rei stood in the corner where she couldn't be seen. Something was off about the Kazekage. His aura seemed belligerent. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up whenever he looks at the hokage with that disgusting smile.

Half way through the fight between Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara from the Sand Rei feels a spike of chakra from beyond the walls of the hidden leaf, she growls furiously. The 3rd Hokage narrows his eyes "What is it Rei" The girl walks over her heart beat speeding up in her chest. "Who are you" she took a intimidating stance directing a snarl at the suppose Kazekage. The guards standing behind him took a stance as well. Her dull grey eyes now slowly turning into a electrifying blue. This man was not the Kazekage and she knew it. "It's time" the man stated with that the guards pulled out smoke bombs. There was massive explosion coming from the far east (Just took a guess) of the walls.

Sasuke and the others that were not in a Genjutsu watched on in shocked as a large black wolf was thrown from the tower. Tumbling to the ground between Uchiha and the now hysterical Gaara. It slowly gets up shaking the dirt from its fur. The beast let out a frightening roar. It's fur bristling in seconds. 'What or who..is that ' thought sasuke stepping back. The wolf took off at full speed up the wall only to be brought down by ibiki himself. "You can't, the barrier will kill you on contact" he yelled as his muscular arm wrapped around the neck of the creature as it snapped out in anger.

No sooner did that happen Gaara and his siblings disappeared. Sasuke mentally cursed for letting himself get distracted and went off to track them.

Ibiki had no other choice but to knock out his student seeing as she could not control her rage. He knew she would hate him greatly if anything happened to the Hokage but what could she have done?

The last thing Rei saw was a pale tall man with long black hair stare at her with snake like eyes. The grin on that guys face made her grimace as she finally succumb to sleep.

Waking up abruptly rei found herself in her small apartment. She was panting heavily covered in cold sweat. 'The Hokage' she remembered before getting out of bed in a hurry but was stopped by her sensei. "What happen?! Where is the hokage?! Is he alright" by now tears were streaming down her face which told a lot because Rei never cried not once since she came to him. Ibiki didn't answer, there was no need she could see it in his eyes. She balled her fist up and began to hit his chest repeatedly screaming at him that it was his fault she couldn't protect the Hokage.

After what felt like hours Ibiki finally spoke "Get dress. I think he would want you there to see his spirit off" with that said he left rei to her thoughts. A black outfit was neatly placed on her bed. Walking to it she took her hand touching the material before balling it up and throwing to the floor running off. She will never forgive herself.

The ceremony had begun, everyone from the village was there placing white flowers on top of the grave. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke stood in the front silently grieving. The massive black clouds hovered over the village as it sprinkled. It was truly a unforgettable day.

In the far distance everyone looked up hearing a Sorrowful Howl course through the town. It was filled with pain no doubt it was memorable. The rain had stopped and the clouds began to disperse showing the sun shining at its brightest.

Defiantly a unforgettable day.

After the ceremony was over everyone went back to their lives not forgetting that their 3rd Hokage died honorably protecting his village.

Drenched Rei walked down the dirt path dragging her feet Her head held in shame and anguish. Why did the gods forsake her? "R-Rei" She heard her name being softly called out. Stopping she looked up, her tired eyes were greeted by three people. The ones she held dear to her chest were now just blurred faces. Cupping a hand over her right eye she still couldn't see their faces. "What is this" naruto reached a hand out in worry only to be brought down by sakura looking at her she shook her head mouthing the words 'its better if you didn't'.
