(June 30)

Naruto together with Tier and Rukia arrived at a small port village after five days of travel since Naruto met them, at first the question if he wants to become a ninja shocked him but he quickly became ecstatic, Rukia knew that all Jinchūriki have enormous chakra amount but the boy was something else, his chakra reserves were even greater than that of any Jinchūriki and Kage she ever heard about.

At first she thought that his chakra control was going to be terrible with the amount he posses but it soon proved to be wrong as she asked him to try and keep the leaf on his forehead using chakra, she expected him to fail many times but he get it after his third try, he even began to run all around the forest clearing they were training on.

Rukia decided that it's still too early to start a serious training so for now she decided to focus on his chakra manipulation, when they arrived to the port village Rukia immediately noticed that something was wrong, for a village with a functional port it was too quiet for the middle of the day, there wasn't even one person outside which began to make her worried, then she heard footsteps approaching them from the direction of the port.

All three of them tensed when they felt the incredible dense chakra signature moving toward them, Rukia have bitten her thumb and unsealed Sode no Shirayuki from the seal on her collarbone.

"Tier...take Naruto away from here." Just as she said that a giant blade came flying at them at a incredible speed, Tier grabbed Naruto and the two of them ducked under the sword with Rukia doing the same, the sword flew above they heads then hit the tree behind them and embedded itself in the tree, Rukia let out a sigh of relieve.

"Impressive..." Rukia's eyes went wide upon hearing that all too familiar voice, she slowly turned around and saw a man standing on the blade that was embedded in the tree. He was a tall and noticeably muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes, and small eyebrows. He wears bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face. He was shirtless, with his chest only covered by a belt to which his Kubikiribōchō(Decapitating Carving Knife) was attached, he also wear baggy pants with the striped pattern typical of Kirigakure and mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, with matching leg-warmers.

"Zabuza...Momochi..." Rukia said with voice full of fear, she was never truly afraid of anyone but when it comes to this man...she just couldn't help but shiver from fear, the man in front of her was unpredictable, the rumors about him murdering all the students were true...but Rukia was the only one to survive, of course nobody knows about it so that he could keep up his image.

"Isn't that my favorite snow kitten? You certainly didn't grow even one inch." Zabuza said with a smirk under his bandages, then he turned toward the two blondes on the ground, his eyes widen in surprise.

'What the hell...that men only informed me about the blond-haired boy, he didn't said anything about a girl...or perhaps...no, that's not possible...they aren't similar in the least...but maybe.' Zabuza mused to himself completely ignoring the two priestess and Naruto. Rukia using the moment of distraction grabbed her daughter and Naruto before running in the direction of the port, Zabuza snapped out from his thoughts and sighted in annoyance, he jumped off from his sword and ripped it out from the tree, he grabbed his sword with his right hand and aimed at the group.

"Did I told you...TO RUN?!" Zabuza shouted and threw the sword, the sword rotated in the air and flew at the group, Rukia noticed that and throw Tier and Naruto forward before turning toward the sword, she pumped her chakra into the sword and quickly punctured the ground once and ice circle appeared under her, then she punctured it four times before her in semi-circle, ice particles began to flow from the ground and began to rapidly build up at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, before Kubikiribōchō could get anywhere close to her Rukia took a battle stance.

"Hyōton: Hakuren(Ice Release: White ripple)!" She shouted, the particles shot out in the form of large avalanche of cold air, it knocked Kubikiribōchō from its trajectory and encased it in ice, the wave rushed at Zabuza who just looked at the wave slightly impressed, the wave hit him full force and obscured the view of him, Tier and Naruto looked impressed at the display of power and cheered for Rukia but it was short-lived.

"I will said it once more…impressive, who would have thought that you will get so strong. It was worth keeping you alive." At his words Rukia completely froze in place, not only Zabuza evaded her attack but also said that she lives only became he wanted to.

"You…you let…me live?" She asked in a shaking voice, Zabuza released a low and amused chuckle, he slowly walked up to his sword encased in ice and pumped his chakra into his fist, with a quick punch the ice shattered in thousands of pieces and his sword was once more free, in one swift move Zabuza grabbed his sword and pointed the blade at Rukia.

"That's right, you're alive only because I felt like letting you live, now hand over the boy and maybe I will be generous enough to let you go…but the same won't apply for the girl." At the last part fear left Rukia leaving only hatred for Zabuza, she brought the sword to her right side and looked at Zabuza with nothing but rage.

"You will not touch my daughter!" She shouted in rage and lunged at him with intention to kill, Zabuza was only slightly surprised by the revelation.

'So the girl is her daughter…truly interesting.' He thought and blocked the quick blow from Rukia with the flat side of his sword, he was quickly forced to dodge as Rukia turned around clockwise and her sword nearly slashed at his neck, Zabuza stabbed Kubikiribōchō into the ground and used it as leverage to kick Rukia away from him, his foot connected with her right shoulder sending her flying for few meters before she managed to land on her feet.

Without even a break Rukia shoot forward at Zabuza who brought his sword above his head and swing it at incoming Rukia, she dodged the blade by jumping to the side and continued forward, she brought her sword close to her body and aimed the tip at his chest intending to impale him and end this fight. Zabuza quickly stepped aside dodging the blade by inches but Rukia came to an abrupt stop and slashed at him, her blade cut through his chest, not deep enough to kill but enough to leave rather nasty scar.

"Fuck..." Zabuza hissed in pain and jumped back to create some distance between them. He underestimate her, she became even more skillful than the last time they have met and right now she would no doubt win, she wasn't even fighting at full strength.

"How can you be so strong…back in academy you were a weakling…a cannon fodder, how can someone like you be so strong?" He asked her while panting slightly, his mission was to kidnap the boy and brought him to the person that hired him, Danzō Shimura.

"I have a purpose to be strong…what are you fighting for Zabuza?" Her answer and question surprised him, Zabuza looked at the blond girl and a small smile appeared under his mask.

'I see, that's why.' He thought and turned his gaze back to Rukia who pointed her blade at him clearly impatient at his lack of answer. With a sigh he decided to tell her.

"I failed to kill Yagura…money is needed if someone wants to overthrow a tyrant, that's why I will take the boy." Rukia looked at him wide eyed, he waited for her to laugh at him for his failure but not a word was spoken until she finally said.

"You're stupid you know, if you could only throw away your stupid pride and join the rebellion everything would be alright. Maybe with your help they could win." Now it was his turn to look shocked.

"They…they are still fighting? I didn't heard anything from Kiri for few months now." Rukia smiled slightly and Zabuza looked at the ground.

'What if I join them? It could be my chance to finally brought down Yagura but what about Haku, she will be alone if something happens to me…but there are also two other women from Yuki clan…maybe she won't be alone even is something happened to me.' Zabuza thought, after another several seconds of thinking he slowly looked up at Rukia who was now standing in front of him.

"I…I think…that I can join them." He said weakly, Rukia looked at him clearly shocked by the way he so easily accepted her offer, she was about to say anything when Zabuza fall down.

"Zabuza-sama!" A shout broke the silence, a small figure not higher than Rukia landed in front of Zabuza with senbon in hand, it was a girl with long black hair, pale skin and large, dark-brown eyes and slender frame, she wears sleeveless kimono, with pale red edges and decorated with small plum-coloured swirls, that went to her ankles. Around her waist was a simple white obi tied in a bow, and she wore a pair of light brown sandals with dark straps.

The girl glared at Rukia never letting her guard down, as for Rukia, she was looking at the girl in shock.

"Hi-Hisana?!" Rukia gasped out in shock, the girl looked at her surprised for a second before glaring again.

"How do you know my mother?" The girl asked in a low tone, Rukia was about to answer but Zabuza was first.

"Haku stop…that woman…she's your aunt…" He said weakly and slowly picked himself up, everyone have different reactions, Tier and Naruto were looking at them very confused, Haku was looking at Rukia in disbelieve, as for Rukia, she was giving Zabuza a questioning look. Seeing that he sighed.

"Can we talk about this somewhere else?" Zabuza asked, after few seconds of thinking Rukia nodded.

"Alright, Tier, Naruto, let's go somewhere else." Before anyone could move Zabuza brought up his hand to stop them.

"Before we go, Gōzu, Meizu!" Only few seconds passed until two people landed beside Zabuza and Haku.

Gōzu had shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, poisonous gauntlet on his right arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his brother's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and a ragged black cape. His Kirigakure forehead protector had a single horn on it.

Meizu had shoulder-length, wild dark-brown hair and dark eyes. He wears a rebreather that covers the lower half of his face and a large, clawed, poisonous gauntlet on his left arm which had a chain coming out of it that had the other end attached to his brother's own gauntlet. He wore a camouflage suit with bandages around his waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and several pouches around his waist. His Kirigakure forehead protector had two horns on it.

The both of them stiffened upon seeing Rukia, she looked them over and recognized them nearly immediately.

"Gōzu and Meizu, long time no see. I can't believe that you two defected from Kirigakure, what happened?" She asked in a slightly disappointed tone, Gōzu brought up his left hand and scratched the back of his head sheepishly, Meizu just huffed and looked away.

"Well…you see Rukia-nee-sama…we didn't have much choice in this matter, after me, Meizu and Zabuza-sama failed to kill Yagura we quickly left Kirigakure, then we found Haku three years ago. Are you mad at us?" Rukia shook her head and smiled lightly at him.

"Not really, I know what Yagura was doing in Kiri so I'm more than happy that you two are safe, do you want to come with us to support the rebellion?" She asked earning a surprised looks from the demon brothers.

"I didn't know that someone organized a rebellion, now information barely escape from Mizu no Kuni(Water country). I will be more than happy to do so Rukia-nee-sama." Meizu said and pulled off his gauntlet, Gōzu did the same and both of them sealed they gauntlets in a single scroll.

"Well then…let's move out." Zabuza said and all seven of them moved out toward the port.

(July 2)

Two days later in Konoha, it was a morning like every other day and Hiruzen was sitting in his office overlooking the village from the window, he was just about to stand up when the doors to his office swing open and crashed into the wall, few persons rushed in.

The first person was a man in his early twenties with 178 cm in height, spiky black hair reaching to his shoulders and his left eye is black eyes, the right side of his face is heavily scarred and his right eye is covered by a simple black eyepatch. He wears a black shinobi sandals, black gloves, black pants and high-collared, long-sleeved black shirt underneath a grey flak jacket, he wears his Konoha protector on his forehead, the man is no other than Obito Uchiha.

Next one was a short woman, she have 157 cm in height, straight brown hair pulled into a ponytail that is reaching her waist with two bangs framing her face, brown eyes and rectangular purple marking on either side of her cheeks. She wears a long-sleeved black top underneath grey flak jacket, white knee-length skirt with mesh leggings underneath and black sandals, her forehead protector is wore around her left sleeve close to her shoulder. The woman is Rin Nohara.

Another person is a young woman with straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, warm brown eyes, and a shade of red lipstick. She wears the standard Anbu uniform, consisting of black and grey armour, metal arm guards and a katana strapped to her back. She has the signature Anbu tattoo on her right shoulder. This woman is Yūgao Uzuki.

Last person was Tsume Inuzuka who just returned from her mission, Obito looked at Hokage and shouted.

"Why you didn't inform us about Naruto, Hokage-sama! It was by sheer luck that Tsume-san informed us about it!" Hiruzen sighed and motioned to them to come closer, when they did he looked at Tsume.

"First things first, how your search went Tsume?" He asked, Tsume sighed and shook her head.

"I managed to found him Hokage-sama but…he…he was guarded by few individuals, one of them being Zabuza Momochi, apparently they are going to take a boat to Mizu no Kuni. I would continue tailing them but I decided not to, the black haired woman with them was clearly dangerous, she used ice and managed to slash Zabuza on his chest…pretty badly." Everyone present looked at her in disbelieve, a man like Zabuza wasn't some weakling and if someone was able to hit him then that someone was clearly dangerous.

"I see…I would like to form a retrieval team consisting of Tsume Inuzuka, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Yūgao Uzuki and Kakashi Hatake, if you get in contact with the group don't attack them, I would like to avoid unnecessary violence, now go." With that said the group walked out from the office, when they left Hiruzen once more looked out from the window and sighed.

'I hope you're save Naruto.' He thought and opened one of the drawers in his desk, then he pulled out a certain book and began to read.

(July 7)

Naruto, Tier, Rukia, Haku, Zabuza, Gōzu and Meizu were on a boat to Mizu no Kuni, they still have few days before the boat arrive there so they used the time to know each other better. Surprisingly, Zabuza and Rukia were interacting rather well, to the point that it could be called flirting.

Meanwhile Naruto was looking through the scrolls in his backpack while Haku and Tier were having a nice chat.

" Ne, Rukia-nee-chan." Naruto called out turning everyone attention toward him, Rukia stand up and walked closer to him with a gentle smile on her face.

"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" She asked, Naruto pointed his finger at something in the scroll.

"Do you know Kushina Uzumaki was? Or Minato Namikaze?" That two names caused nearly everyone except Haku and Tier to froze, Rukia grabbed the scroll in Naruto's hands and began to read. She continued to read from time to time looking at Naruto, when she finished she gave the scroll back to Naruto and sat down next to him, everyone looked at her expecting to say something.

"Looks like Naruto is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki from THAT Uzumaki clan." Upon hearing this both demon brothers and Zabuza looked at Naruto with wide eyes, finally after few minutes of uncomfortable silence Zabuza spoke up.

"Wow…I wasn't expecting that one." He said, Gōzu and Meizu nodded in agreement, then Naruto began to ask questions about his parents and everyone tried to explain the best they could which wasn't that much but to Naruto it meant everything. After several minutes they said everything they know and let Naruto get used to this knowledge.

"So…my father was Yondaime Hokage and my mother was last known member of a clan famous from the mastery of Fūinjutsu. And they died after sealing the Kyuubi?" Naruto asked earning a nod from Rukia.

"That's right, that's probably why your father sealed the Kyuubi inside you, from the letter in your backpack I assume that he wanted for you to be seen as a hero…unfortunately Jinchūriki rarely have that honor." Rukia said in a slightly saddened tone, she expected him to cry but…

"THAT'S AWESOME!" Naruto shouted enthusiastically, everyone looked at him slightly surprised completely not expecting such positive reaction. The rest of the trip continued like before but this time the atmosphere was more relaxed than before.

(July 11)

Naruto and the rest were walking through the roads of Mizu no Kuni under the afternoon sun toward they destination, the rebels camp. They didn't know where it was exactly but it was clear that they must found someone who do.

And the luck finally smiled to them, a full day after they landed in Mizu no Kuni they heard a sound of battle, they quickly moved toward the direction of the sound, after few seconds they arrived at a small forest clearing with a lake where two Kiri shinobi were fighting with each other, using the lack of attention to the group Rukia run up to the lake and performed a series of five hand seals, then pointed her open arm at the water.

"Hyōton: Kōri no Tsuta(Ice Ivy)" Rukia said quietly as to not alarm the fighting shinobi who were too engrossed in they fight to notice her approach. A two paths of ice formed at the surface of the water, each one moving toward one shinobi, when the path were directly under them a vines made from ice shoot out toward them and entangled them stopping any attempts of escape.

One of the shinobi looked at the ice in shock and started to struggle while the other just looked at Rukia, the one struggling started to shout.

"Fuck you all you bloodline trash, you will all die!" Rukia looked at him and sweatdropped.

'That guy really don't know his place.' Rukia thought, she canceled the vines holding the other shinobi who wasn't struggling causing him to land on the water, slowly he walked up to Rukia and bowed.

"Thank you, if not for your help I don't know how it could went. Is there any way that I can help you with?" He asked, then his gaze landed on Zabuza who sported a rather wide grin under his mask, the shinobi started to sweat lightly.

"Za-Za-Zabuza Mo-Momochi…what are you doing here?!" The shinobi asked fearfully, faster than anyone noticed Zabuza appeared before the man and placed on hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down, would you? We came to Mizu no Kuni to help get rid of Yagura once and for all, so can you lead us to the rebellion camp…if there is still anything like that?" The shinobi quickly nodded before turning toward the shinobi captured by ice vines.

"But we can't let him live and he's just a normal grunt of Yagura, he don't have any valuable knowledge about Yagura's plans." Rukia nodded in understanding and turned toward the captured shinobi, she performed an Tiger hand seal and the vines began to strangle the poor shinobi, soon the live left him and the vines shattered in thousands of pieces dropping the body into the depths of water.

Everyone looked unfazed except Tier and Naruto who were looking at this in silent shock, Zabuza upon noticing that let out a frustrated sigh.

"Kids aren't used to corpses, right?" He asked, Rukia nodded and turned toward him.

"What were you expecting, huh? Tier was living all her life in the shrine and Naruto lost his memory, but I'm pretty sure that he'd never killed, after all he's just 9 years old and Konoha is very peaceful village." He 'hummed' and once more looked at the shinobi.

"So…let's go." With that said the group moved away from the clearing.

(July 17)

In the Hokage office the Naruto Retrieval Group was standing straight before Hiruzen's judging gaze, by the time the group arrived to the Mizu no Kuni they followed the lingering scent with help of ninken but it vanished suddenly forcing the group to return.

"Kakashi, report." Hiruzen said simply, Kakashi stepped out from the line and cleared his throat.

"We followed after the group to Mizu no Kuni but that's where our searching failed. After a day of searching every trace of his whereabouts suddenly vanished, even with the help of my sharingan I couldn't find any trace." Kakashi said with a solemn look on his face, Hiruzen gritted his teeth and growled slightly before looking at the gathered group.

"There's nothing else we can do about this, let's just hope that Naruto will be alright." With that said Hiruzen dismissed everyone, when they left Hiruzen stood up from his chair and walked up to the window, tears threatened to pour out from his eyes. His gaze landed on the face of Minato carved in the mountainside, the heavy rain pouring down from the sky perfectly mirroring the atmosphere in Konoha.

'I'm so sorry Minato, I wasn't able to protect your son. But…that was the last time, if I ever see Naruto once more I will do everything in my power to protect him…this I promise you with my life.' He thought and turned back toward his desk where one more problem still waited to be solved…paperwork.

At the same time in the Hyuuga compound, a seven years old heiress looked at the photo of whiskered blond boy…her hero, she still remember that day clearly as if it was yesterday.

XXX flashback XXX

(1 year ago)

It was a sunny day in Konoha and Hinata Hyuuga was taking a walk through the streets…this time completely alone, her caretaker left her alone. The fact that he was from branch house wasn't important…not important at all.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets until she walked by the Academy, she turned around the corner into a side street and bumped into someone, with a startled yelp she fall down onto her rear. She winced from the pain and massaged her sore buttocks.

"Hey guys, look, that's a Hyuuga freak!" A chubby boy with short black hair shouted, Hinata looked up alarmed. Two more boys walked up to them from the main street, one of them was rather high and very slim with a shoulder-length brown hair and rat-like face, the last one was a short and skinny boy with very short brown hair, they smirked upon seeing the terrified expression of the Hyuuga heiress, she closed her eyes and prepared for the worst when…

"What the hell do you think you all are doing, scaring a girl isn't very manly you know?" Hinata opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes went wide when she saw a blond haired boy with strange whisker-like marks on his cheeks, he was standing at the entrance to the alley with hands in his pockets. It was clearly seen that this boy went through some kind of training because he have much less baby fat than the other boys.

"Get out of here brat, do you know who I'm?!" The chubby boy shouted angrily, the boy however just looked at him with a bored look in his eyes, his hands never leaving his pockets.

"No I don't know who you are…but I can tell that you're just a overfeed fatso that bully others just because he's older." Then his bored expression turned into something that caused Hinata to let out frightened yelp…but too quiet for anyone to hear. The blond boy glared at the chubby boy, his eyes turned ice cold and the atmosphere around the boy became very heavy…and leaking with killer intents. Unfortunately the other boys were too cocky for they own good and charged at the blond clearly not understanding that unlike them he was clearly training.

"Why you…!" The chubby boy shouted and throw a punch at the blond boy only for him to step aside, the power putted into the punch was too great to stop and the boy loose his balance, then the blond boy kneed the stomach of the chubby boy forcing the air out from his lungs, that was all it took to take him down.

The chubby boy fall down onto the ground and curled into a fetal position, his hands clutching his stomach, the other two were looking at the blond haired boy that just turned toward them in a silent shock.

"Anyone else." He said in a emotionless voice, after a few moments of silence he waved his hands dismissingly at the boys.

"Then get out of here before I change my mind…and take the fat-ass with you." They quickly followed the command given by the blond boy and helped the chubby boy stand up, then they quickly left. The boy turned toward Hinata and his face immediately softened, he offered her his hand and smiled.

"Come on, get up. Cute girls like you can't sit on the ground like this." Hinata blushed and accepted his help, upon standing up Hinata looked at the clearly older boy in confusion.

"Y-you aren't g-g-gonna…you kno-k-know…m-make f-fun of m-me or s-s-something…like that?" She stuttered out, her blush deepening with each second. The boy tilted his head to the side and looked at her clearly confused.

"Why would I do that?" He asked.

"M-my eyes…they aren't l-like everyone else…" She said weakly and looked down at the ground, know the boy noticed what she was talking about and smiled.

"Are you kidding, I never saw such beautiful eyes before. They really suit a cute girl like you." He said happily causing the poor girl to blush even deeper shade of red.

"Th-thank you…umm?" She wanted to ask for his name but as if he was reading his mind the boy answered.

"Naruto…Uzumaki Naruto, and you are?" Naruto asked while grinning, Hinata looked at him and a small smile graced her lips.

"Hi-Hinata, th-thank you for h-helping me…I don't know w-what would happen if y-you were not…" Before she could continue Naruto placed his finger on her lips silencing her, this of course caused her to blush even deeper shade of red than even before.

"No problem, I will be going now, bye bye Hinata-chan!" With that said Naruto run off leaving blushing Hinata alone. When he disappeared from her sight Hinata sighted in relieve and clutched her chest, her blush never subsiding.

"I…I thought I was going to pass out…" Upon calming down her ragging heart Hinata sighed in relieve and looked in the direction Naruto disappeared.

'Wh-what is this feeing…it's…warm.' Hinata thought, a wide smile appeared on her face.

XXX flashback end XXX

Hinata sighed, after that incident she was following him around and observing him from the shadow, the photo was taken at that time. The only think that saddened her was the fact that Naruto wasn't seen in the village for more than two weeks, the fact that her father was sighing every time Naruto was mentioned didn't help anything.

The knocking onto her door snapped her out from her thoughts.

"Please come in." The doors slide open and to her great surprise the one to walk in was her father, without word he kneeled before her.

"We must talk…it's about Naruto." The only response Hinata was able to muster was…

"Eh?"

The sun was slowly hiding behind the horizon but it didn't stop people to drown the sadness with alcohol. Inside the random bar in Konoha a group of people was gathered, at the counter sitting with a bottle was Inuzuka Tsume, next to her in similar situation was Anko Mitarashi, another person was Kakashi Hatake who looked at the half empty glass of the liquor. The other Jōnin were doing they everyday things but it was clear that they were depressed by the absence of the blond haired boy.

"It's all because of this damn old man! If only he would agree that I could adopt Naruto…this all wouldn't happened!" Tsume shouted in rage and swing the bottle pouring the liquor down her throat. It was clear as day that she wasn't sober, Anko sweatdropped at the antics of her friend.

"I think it wouldn't changed anything at all, Hokage did what he thought was right but at the end it was incredible stupid thing to do. It would be better if only he could hide Naruto inside the village and not send him behind the village walls…but maybe it was better after all, you heard the rumors about ROOT, they are incredible skilled and ruthless killers anyone that would hide Naruto was in danger." Anko said and took few gulps from her own bottle before looking at Kakashi who, surprisingly, wasn't wearing his mask.

"And what you are thinking about this Kakashi?" She asked the sharingan user who looked up from his glass.

"It couldn't be helped, Danzō had very good sensors at his command so they would find Naruto without problem. Sending him out from the village was the only thing that could be done to provide his safety…let's just hope that he's save and healthy, maybe…maybe we will see him again." He said with a depressed tone, Anko understand him completely, after all nearly many higher rank shinobi and kunoichi have soft spot for the blond bundle of joy…his pranks especially.

Anko let out a sigh and took another gulp before standing up.

"I will be gone now, I have to take care of my 'stress'." Anko said putting a sultry tone at the end emphasizing what she mean by 'stress', then she disappeared in a Shunshin(Body Flicker). Kakashi facepalmed and turned toward Tsume.

"I will be going too, after all tomorrow is day like always and I will work to do." With that said Kakashi slowly walked out from the bar. Tsume looked at his retreating form and sighed.

'Bastard is right, tomorrow is day like always…I can just hope that Naruto is fine.' Tsume thought and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, she should be home long ago…after all she have family to take care off.


I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, in last chapter I informed that English isn't my main language and there can't be few grammar errors, everyone can make mistakes.

As for short fighting scenes, it's just a prologue so I didn't put too much pressure on the fighting scenes because I felt it wasn't needed.

I can just hope that the next chapter will be to your likings and once more I ask for reviews so I can know your opinion and improve my story.

Goodbye for now and see you all in the next chapter.
