Battle of the primordial Forces

Chapter 3: Missions, Battles and the normal Daily Life.

Part I: The Story continues- Battle Royal, Turners of time.

Naruto´s Pov:

Two and a Half hour already passed since the battle began, Bolt and I had spoken about using our strongest technics to attack, in order to finish this quickly.

I could tell him a bit about the powers of Nagato, but I wanted to hold him of the same, for I had my own chicken to pick with him.

While I was holding Nagato and Lady Mito of my Son, he tried to defeat Shigure and Sarin alone.

But no matter what, the two teams of them held strong against us.

It lasted a long time before we could find an opening in one team.

After 2 and a half hours, Shigure and Sarin finally ran out of chakra and force, as Bolt attacked them, with two massive attacks, attacks he managed to create all by himself.

I admit, I could not be any prouder of him, or maybe?

Flashback, Bolt´s Pov:

It was a hard piece of work against Shigure and Sarin, they were a real rehearsed team.

"Ha, at this rate I'm just going to lose more and more of my chakra, but it will bring me to nothing!" I though as I observed Sarin and Shigure´s movements.

"What´s the matter Bolt, are you giving up!" I heard Sarin´s obnoxious laughing voice.

"As if!" I shouted back.

"Dammit got to think about something, really quick!" I said as Sarin was aiming for me.

"Kagamibushin no Jutsu!" I shouted, creating a wall of clones who fought against Sarin, giving me time to use that.

I copied Shikadai´s stance, whenever he thought about something, to connect with Inojin´s mind transmitting mark, I just hope it works here, so behind the Kekkai.

"Inojin, are you there?" I asked in my mind, thinking strong of him.

It was no jutsu but a strong mental bond we had with each other, caused through our all friendship for so long, I might only get enforced through Inojin´s jutsu but still.

I have no real idea how it works, but sometimes I am just able to predict what my friends are thinking.

"I hear you loud and clearly Bolt, what´s the matter?" The same asked.

"Has Sarada watched the match of me vs Shigure and Sarin?" I asked.

"Yes I did!" I heard Sarada´s voice in my mind.

"Any ideas?" I asked.

"Well I don´t know if it helps you in anyways, but with your current strategy you are not able to defeat them, if you attack one you are attacked by the other one, and this too quick to dodge or to craft a Bushin to shield.

All you can do is trying to use your time-space ninjutsu for your advantage!" She stated.

"I see, well then got to try something different!" I replied, thinking of a strategy.

"Did you saw their holsters, I don´t really know why, but it seems to me, as if their kunai and Shuriken holsters are not getting any emptier, no matter how many they use.

I don´t know if this helps, but I hope so!" Sarada said.

"Unfortunately is the Barrier disturbing my sharingan, so I can´t tell you about their attacking patterns, but Himawari sees more or less through, more than I do!" Sarada said.

"Bolt, I see it clearly, I think she has a jutsu or some kind of skill with which she is able to always duplicate her Shurikens!" Himawari stated.

"Well hope we could help you and… wait, dammit dodge to the right Bolt!" Sarada screamed in my mind.

"Kibakufuda, get out of there!" Sarada´s voice shouted in my mind and I obliged.

I jumped far away from it, bracing myself against the explosion I opened my eyes to see Sarin and Shigure standing right before me, a 100 meters away.

"So, their holsters never get empty, well then let´s see!" I mumbled.

"Kagebushin no jutsu!" I shouted and created clones of myself.

"Again with this strategy, aren´t you getting any tired of this clone jutsu, at this rate you will lose our bet!" Sarin laughed.

"Ha!" I shouted, as we all shot a kunai each at Shigure, only for them to vanish in thin air.

"Ha, that was nothing, right back at you!" Sarin shouted and answered with an own shower.

I dodged the attack, only to see my theory being true.

The kunai with the red band has come back to me.

"I see, so she uses my own Kunai, rather than their own, clever, but this way she gave me the perfect strategy.

"Kagebushin no jutsu!" I shouted, as I used another bunch of them, five stayed at my side while the rest attacked Sarin.

"Ha, I think I told you this won´t help you.

Just admit it, you are too lame Bolt, my father and I have as well as won, and after this we will defeat your father.

It´s a shame, I honestly thought you had more in you, so as the son of the Hokage, but this was quite disappointing.

Guess you do only have a big trap but there's nothing behind it, isn´t it?!" Sarin said self-confidently.

"We will see!" I said my eyes becoming yellow, the pupil went tinier but still round.

"Sage art- Kaijarashi no bai Rasengan no jutsu (Jutsu of the double firestorm Rasengan)!" I shouted, as I used one hand and two Clones to craft a normal Rasengan, the other two are crafting a Rasen shuriken enforced by my Katon jutsu.

"You are still to lame!" Sarin shouted, as she dashed at high speed towards me.

"Ha!" My Fifth clone shouted, as he shot another kunai at Sarin.

"Haha, thanks, Bolt!" Sarin shouted as she caught the kunai, just as planned.

"Thanks Sarin, for your stupidity!" I shouted, as I used my Hiraishin no jutsu to teleport right at her side, crashing both the Rasengan and the Rasen shuriken into her, before either, her father or herself, could react.

"AAARGGH!" Sarin shouted, as she was blown, thanks to the massive firestorm-power stream, right in the kekkai´s border, falling and remaining unconsciously on the ground, before she was sucked out of the kekkai by Neherit.

"One out, one more to go!" I said, as I aimed at Shigure.

"Hmm, you are strong I have to admit, to be able to defeat Sarin so easily, but I know your technique now, you won´t get me so easily!" Shigure said with an devilish smirk.

"Ha, we will see!" I said confidently.

"Kagebushin no Jutsu!" I shouted and they went to attack Shigure, as I went in my Jukken stance, while loading my attack.

"Haaa, to easy!" Shigure shouted as he was destroying my Kagebushin one after another, but it was actually planed, right before he managed to get the last one, my Kagebushin behind us shattered to dust and I was engulfed in Chakra.

"Alright here we go!" I shouted, as I used my sage mode to attack him, with Sage Art-Fushichō kumite (Phoenix-Battle).

Each punch shot of a burning wave of hot air, the stronger and faster I attacked, the more the sparks flew, until my hand was fully ablaze in fire, igniting Shigure's clothes and skin, until I was able to hit his chest.

"AAAARRRGGH!" The same shouted as he coughed blood.

"You better give up, you are unable to fight anymore!" I said.

"Ha as if, an Uzumaki never gives up, especially not this one here!" Shigure shouted, trying to attack under massive pain.

"I told you I will go all out, I won´t hold back which means I won´t show mercy on you, even when you are as beaten as now, I will finish you off!" I shouted, as I went in a certain stance, to use one of my strongest Taijutsu attacks.

"Hi no tori Ni hyaku no habataki tsubasa (Two hundred wing beats of the Firebird)!" I shouted, as I attacked him so rapidly, that only a storm of flames was to see.

"UAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHH!" Shigure screamed in intense pain.

"Haaa!" I shouted finishing my move.

Shigure feel to the ground like a cut-down tree, breathing hard.

"Two out, Two more to go!" I said.

"Biko!" I heard Kyūbiko shouting, I turned around to see Kurama being under Lady Mito´s Adamantine Chakra Chains and dad struggling with Nagato.

"Ha I won´t make it so easy to you, Kyūbiko!" I shouted and it replied back.

"Biiiikoo!" It shouted, infusing me with its Chakra.

I unsheathed my Flying guillotine and let mine and Kyūbiko's chakra flowing inside of the Blade disk, alongside of my Fuuton chakra; Wild-Sage modoo and Kyuubi modoo combined is a very badass combination.

"Hakai-kusari no jutsu, puraimaru kamigami-shuriken (Jutsu of the Chain-destruction, Primordial God-Shuriken) I shouted, as I used the Blade-disc, a special model especially made for me from Tenten-san, and shot it off to destroy the Adamantine Chakra Chains.

Flashback end, Naruto´s Pov:

Mito and Nagato were way harder to beat, that's for sure, I knew that since the beginning.

Lady Mito still had the Chakra stuck in her seal on her forehead, in which she had gathered massive amounts of Kurama´s Chakra, during her time as Jinnchuriki, which enabled her now to use its Chakra constantly.

Nagato used his Rinnegan and Kuchiyose animals, to see our every move, however I don´t really think that it´s a good idea to show these eyes of, especially here, in company of all the eight other Bijuus and all the people he had once killed, but also revived as I must say.

But in the end we managed to defeat them, after another half hour with an enormous series of Rasengans of practically each kind, crafted by many of my Kagebushin and the ones of my son.

Flashback:

"Haaaaaa!" I shouted, as the chains Kurama has been under where cut in pieces by my Sons Blade-Disc.

"Nice move Bolt, thank you, please try your best to defeat lady Mito, I still have to settle some unfinished business with Nagato!" I said and Bolt nodded, before we made a high-five.

"Well then, show me what you have learned in the last 20 years Naruto, show me the power, which has aimed to create the peace our master once had wished for!" Nagato shouted and I nodded.

"Kurama, are you Ready?" I asked.

"Of course I am Naruto, it will be an honour for me to kick the butt of that brat!" Kurama shouted.

"We have beaten his six paths once, so we surely will defeat that guy alone another time!" He continued.

"Alright here we go!" I shouted, as we attacked this guy with a rapid-fire of small attacks.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" Nagato shouted, summoning his many Animals.

I practically could feel the glances of the people watching us, I still know how most of the people are recognizing one or two of those beasts.

"Haaa!" I shouted, as I used Kurama´s claw attack, to slice them in several pieces, letting them vanishing in thin air, however they just kept on coming

"It would be better for your own self, if you would not dare to summon your six Pain bodies here, people will go rampaging!" I said to Nagato.

"I have no Pain bodies anymore, remember I was dead since 20 years, I killed myself through the use of this Jutsu you remember!" Nagato, fighting now face to face with me, while Kurama was holding all the beasts of us.

"I do remember, still there is someone you haven´t paid for!" I shouted, as I used Kuramas chakra to create a giant Rasen-shuriken.

"I am willingly to repent for my sin, but in my way not in yours!" He shouted.

"We will see, Chō Oodama Rasen Shuriken!" I shouted as I attacked.

"Fūjutsu Kyūin (Blocking Technique, absorption seal)!" Nagato shouted using his technique to suck up my Jutsu.

"Ha!" I shouted, as I threw a Hiraishin Kunai at him, which flew right through his seal shield.

I teleported myself right in it and hit Nagato with the full force of my jutsu.

"Aaaaaaargh!" Nagato shouted, but before my Attack fully could hit, he used the body replacement technique.

"You think this is so easy!" I mumbled, as I teleported again.

"Huh!" Nagato, sitting before me, behind a Rock, asked confused.

"HAAAAAA!" I shouted, as I used my forces to crack his ribs.

But before I touched him with my left hand.

"Jikū shōheki no jutsu (Jutsu of the Time-space Barrier)!" I shouted using my jutsu of restrain, this way he was not able to change places with a replacement anymore.

"Uuuaaarrgggh!" he shouted as he was blown all over the field by my Chō Oodama Rasengan.

"Shinra Tensei!" Nagato shouted, trying to blow me away, only to be attacked by Kurama, who threw him high up in the sky.

"Ha!" I shouted right in his face, as I appeared right behind him, engulfed in Kurama´s Chakra.

"No way!" Nagato shouted.

"Dai Kyuubi Chakra Rasengan (Big nine tailed Rasengan)!" I shouted attacking him with the massive attack.

The destruction the explosion brought was enormous, a giant Crater has been crafted, in which Nagato laid, fully immobilized, his body unable to move a single pore, beside of the mouth and his eyes

"How is this possible?" He asked afraid.

"Hiraishin Rasengan (Jutsu of the flying thunder god, second step, Rasengan Combination), I attacked the moment your Shinra Tensei had hit me, Bolt used his Hiraishin Kunai, I had gave him earlier, to throw at my command.

This way I was able to use the interval of five seconds, where you are without a defence, to attack, I analysed our fight over the last 20 years and so I was able to create a strategy against it!" I explained.

"I see, the High-five earlier!" Nagato stated.

"Exactly I gave him my Hiraishin marked paper to wrap around one of his Kunai, he then only had to throw it and I only had to teleport myself right behind you, before your attack fully could get me!" I explained to him.

"Clever indeed, you have become even stronger than ever before, i´m truly astounded, and also glad, that Jiraiya-sensei, has left such a wonderful and strong student, rather than the wretched brat I had been!" Nagato said.

"As I told you earlier, you had been wronged and mislead by someone else, if perhaps we would have met under different circumstances, we might have become as close as Brothers, you are an Uzumaki after all, Uzumakis have to pull on one thread, not!?" I asked him and he smiled.

"Yes, this is also what my mother always told me, I wished I have more time to become your friend, to repent for all the sins I ever had brought upon me!" Nagato said.

"Now let yourself being threaten by Neherit and the medical ninjas, and watch how we defeat Lady Mito and then fight against each other, my son and myself!" I said as I turned around and walked up right next to Kurama and my son.

And so also the mighty Nagato had been defeated.

Lady Mito, frowned, after she saw that she was now fully alone against us two.

"I see, guess I have to fight against the two of you now, well then, don´t you dare to hold back just because I am a woman, the wife of the First Hokage and your ancestor, fight me like you have fought the other three, understood!" Lady Mito said loudly.

"Of course, we won´t hold back before you, be prepared!" We shouted back and attacked.

"Kagebushin no Jutsu!" We said both in unison, creating each a Bushin.

"Ha, you don´t think you can defeat me with such an easy Jutsu!" She shouted, while we were loading up our forces for two massive Bijuu Dama.

"Ha!" we shouted, as our Bushins threw their kunais, simultaneous.

"I might be a woman, but don't think you can get me so easily!" Lady Mito shouted, as she blocked them of all at once, they fell and stuck right before her in the ground.

"Huh?!" She shouted, recognizing that there was another set of each two kunais, in the shadow of the first ones.

"Ha!" She was dodging them by bending forward.

However this was her mistake, in the haste she did not recognized that it were four Hiraishin kunais, or maybe she did but could not react to it anymore.

"Bijuu-Dama!" We shouted firing our attack, from her right and her left side.

"You forget I had been a Jinnchuriki too, I know how to suppress its force!" She shouted, as she was about to block the attack with outstretched arms.

"Haaaaaaa!" our Bushins, which had been the Kunais, she blocked off, materialized and punched her straight in the face, catching her off guard.

"No way!" She stammered stunned.

The Bijuu-Dama struck her right in the sides and the explosion catapulted her straight upwards into the Kekkai ceiling, with such a massive pressure, that we were afraid that she might not had survived it.

"Uaaaah!" We heard how she fell down, staying on the ground as immobilized as Nagato has been.

"Two Kyuubi´s are too hard to fight, even for me!" She stated in the near-unconsciousness.

A massive red Hand, crafted by the Kekkai picked her up and transported her out of it.

"Sigh, this felt good, to defeat my tormentors for once, finally I could repay all the years I was under Mito´s chains and the time I had been used a Weapon by Pain´s Gedou Mazou, but I guess I now have not much Chakra left, Naruto, you better bring it to an end!" Kurama said, I nodded standing before my son.

"Guess it's only you and me now, Son!" I said, as I stood against Bolt, who wheezed in the same exhaustion as me.

"I honestly have practically no Chakra remaining Kurama and myself are tired, it might reach only for one more shot!" I said to him.

"Ha—ah, me neither, Kyūbiko is also almost out of it, same as me, guess it´s time to decide the Battle then!" Bolt said, breathing in.

"Alright son, I want you to face me with all that you got, remember I won't hold back, even if you are my son!" I said and his eyes shimmered.

"Neither will I, Uzumakis never going back on their Words!" he said.

"Alright here we go!" I screamed loudly as I released all of my chakra as well as Kurama´s chakra, same as Bolt used his entire Chakra and Kyūbiko's.

We formed two gigantic Bijuu Dama with a complete balanced Power of the Nine Bijuus´s Chakra, which was still stuck in us.

Now it would be shown what was more powerful, a Friendly relationship with eternal trusts through a Bijuu and his Jinnchuriki, or a complete born symbiosis of two born entities in one corpse.

"Pāfekuto kyojin Bijuu Bakudan (Perfect Giant Tailed-Beast Bomb)!" We shouted, as we shot it off, before, with a last boost of Chakra, shielding us from the impact to not take too much damage, we might not be able to die, but we also don´t have to lose some limbs, at least not again, that would be worse.

However the worst might definitely be, that I might sleep on the couch tonight.

Sarada´s Pov:

The noise was ear-deafening, I really asked myself if the Kekkai even was able to hold this power out.

From the former training ground was nothing to see anymore, only a meteor-like crater had appeared, both Bolt and his father lied in the crater unconscious and bleeding, we hoped that nothing more severe had happened, at least that was what we were hoping for.

But as I looks, it is even worse than this.

After the Kekkai had been erased by Neherit, we all rushed to their aid.

"Bolt, Bolt, wake up!" I shouted, as I used my medical Jutsu to heal his wounds, I felt his pulse and was glad that it still was there, even if as faintly as now, I used my best possible medical ninjutsu alongside of Mom.

"It´s alright, I think he´s out of danger now, but he´s still unconscious!" Mom said to me, before going over to Lady Tsunade and Bolts Father.

I tried to wake Bolt up again, but it seemed to have no use.

We were surrounded by our friends and senseis, all of them wore worried Glances, Lady Tsunade and Mom used their forces to bring Bolt´s father back, out of the unconsciousness and the near death, it seemed that he truly was near dying, he had a massive cross scar on his chest, from which massive amounts of blood were flowing.

Bolt´s mother and Hima-chan stood at their side crying, as both were laid next to each other.

I know I should be worried about his father too, but right now I had only eyes and thoughts for Bolt.

"Don´t do this to me, dammit, you truly exaggerated, wake up, wake up you idiot, wake up, wake up, goddammit… WAKE UP YOU MISERBALE PRICK!" I screamed, as I used StSooh (Slap the Shit out of him) on him.

"Uaaaaaaaahhh!" he breathed up, hitting my head, as I was about to make a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, of the forceful kind.

"Owwww!" We shouted both in pain, rubbing our massively jingling foreheads.

"What was that, did you tried to kiss me or strangle me, get your brain Straight and decide on what you want to do, I was sleeping peacefully, why did you had to slap me!?" Bolt asked sarcastically, before he seemed to notice my tears.

"Hey, what is, what happened, are you okay?!" He asked, as he took my face in his palm, he had that concerned look on him again.

Why was he concerned when he has been hurt, why, why always we other, why didn´t he ever cared what happened to him.

"You are an Idiot Bolt Uzumaki, how could you do this to me!?" I shouted, before embracing him tightly, while he looked confused at me.

"Anyways who has won?" He asked, as always ruining the mood, I sighed.

"I don't know, probably your fath…., Bolt your eyes!" I suddenly shouted.

"What´s with them?" Bolt asked, before I held my hand-mirror in front of him.

"Boah… looks cool!" Bolt said and we all sweat dropped.

His Iris looked a bit like the Uzumaki Clan logo, white with red, only with a pupil in the Middle and four arrows turned to the inside of the iris, his eyes however were completely Black, another change was that his hair began to get red.

"What about Dad!" he asked.

"I don´t know, he doesn't seems to have woken up since now!" I responded worried, as we looked at him.

He still laid on the ground, Mom and Lady Tsunade tried their best to stop the bleeding.

"Dammit, I cannot feel his pulse anymore!" Lady Tsunade shouted.

"You bastard, didn´t you say one cannot die in this Ritual!" Mrs. Uzumaki screamed at Neherit.

"Well one cannot, as long as one has chakra in its system, if the Chakra runs completely out one is as helpless as a toddler!" Neherit explained.

"Geez, he truly exaggerated this, c´mon, move out of the way, I wake him up!" the same stated as he showed Lady Tsunade out of the way.

"Well then here we go!" He shouted, before he hit right on the Hokage´s chest, with his bare hand.

What are you doing, get away from my husband, you kill him!" Bolt´s mother screamed.

"No, wait, his pulse, it is back, and , it´s normal, as if never something has happened to him!" Lady Tsunade stated as she felt the pulse of the Hokage.

Wait, what the,….!" She shouted.

"What, how worse is it, please tell me Lady Tsunade!" Mrs. Uzumaki asked afraid.

"Dad!" Bolt and Himawari cried.

"Hokage!" The public shouted.

"Naruto!" the closest friends, all parents of us, shouted, their hearts ached for an answer.

"Well, how shall I tell you?" lady Tsunade said.

"Just do it, please, how worse is it, will he ever be able to go, has he massive injuries, what is it?" The People asked.

"Well He´s…!"

"He´s…?" We all asked.

"He´s sleeping!" Lady Tsunade stated.

"He´s sleeping peacefully, as if nothing has happened at all!" She stated.

"Wait what!" We all asked falling comically.

"Huaaargh, OOOOWWWWW!" Suddenly we heard the Hokage´s voice, yelling in pain.

"Aaaaah, Sakura, why did you do this?" he shouted.

"You idiot and here we were all worried about you, and all you do is Sleeping, Idiot, Baka, dumbass!" Mom shouted with tears in her eyes.

"Dad, do you have them?" Bolt asked bluntly, disturbing moms rant.

"Of course, I guess at least, who do you think I am?" His father said, while even Bolts mother, my mother, Lady Tsunade and everyone around us, sweat dropped, as they came over to us, to congratulate.

Even with this massive scare, we all were glad they weren't hurt so bad.

"What exactly did you even do Neherit?" Lady Tsunade asked.

"Well I took some life-force from the earth he lies on and gave it to him!" Neherit explained, as he moved the Hokage with a foot, to show the ground under him; it was completely withered.

"Wow!" we said.

"So now only this here and it was, as if nothing has happened!" He said as he put his hand on the withered ground and suddenly the dead grass began to be filled back with life.

"Anyways, now let´s see!" Neherit stated as he stepped towards bolt.

"Look at me Bolt!" he said and Bolt did as told.

"Alright, the Blood has begun to boil, it will soon begin!" Neherit said.

"What, what will begin?" Bolt asked confused.

"Your transformation into a real Uzumaki!" Neherit responded.

"Honey, your hair begins to redden!" Bolts father said to him.

"Same as yours Dad!" Bolt replied, looking at where his father was sitting.

"You´re right but why?" The Hokage asked, looking himself in the Mirror held up by Himawari, who sat in his lap.

"That's the effect when the Blood of the Uzumakis begins to fully awake, its only coming as long as you use the Nikkōgan, they, same as the Sharingan, are useable eyes and not like the Rinnegan , permanent activated!" Neherit explained, who went towards us with the other Uzumakis, Nagato-san was practically riddled by everyone´s glance.

If eyes could kill, he would have already died a million death´s.

No one had a clear evidence, not even me, but we all could practically think it to ourselves, ever since these beings with the Rinnegan appeared.

We were certain, before us stood no one else but the seventh Pain.

"How is it to see with these eyes?" I asked Bolt curious, taking my own of the person which once destroyed our Village, long before our birth.

"Awesome, you look at a person closely and you see everything, what this soul has encountered, even over the mortal death, means I can see the past of your soul, the former lives!" Bolt responded, while he looked at me.

"You have formerly being a lioness, the one of the Alpha!" he said.

"Really!?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Rrrrrr!" he said, making a cat´s paw, at which I burst out in laughter.

This was Bolt as he lives and breathes, he always could get a laugh from me, no matter what he did for it.

"Ahem, anyways, as it seems do we have two winners!" Neherit announced to the Crowd.

"Naruto Uzumaki, Hokage of Konohagakure and his Son Bolt Uzumaki, both have become the new leaders of the Uzumaki Clan!" he said in the mic and everyone cheered loudly.

"Guess you won our bet Bolt!" Sarin said, as she looked at us, she had some bruises and cuts but over all she looked quite good for being literally fired, same as her Father.

"Yeah Guess so, I am hot for the money I can get, thanks to the Bet office of Moegi and Udon-sensei, I will treat all of you to a meal at Ichiraku!" Bolt stated with excited eyes.

"Booolt!" Senpou shouted and embraced him pushing her big Boobs in his back, her embrace as always way too tight.

"I´m so glad you're survived, congratulations!" She shouted loudly.

"Senpou let go of him, he just won a massive battle while being wounded to no end, let him rest a bit will you, anyways Congrats Bolt, you truly fucked them up!" Chouchou said in her typical manner.

"Nice fight, Bolt, but don´t you dare to get smarter than me now!" Shikadai smiled.

"I wish I could have drawn you finishing move on Sarin, but I was too excited to watch, anyways Congrats Bolt!" Inojin said.

"Big Bro/Nii-san, you were awesome!" Himawari and Katsuo shouted excitedly, with shining eyes and big smiles, they embraced him stormily.

"Aww thanks guys!" he said, as our friends congratulated him.

"Say, Sarada, doesn´t my red Hair looks weird on me, I mean I am so used to have it blonde and now I am ginger all of a sudden, I don´t know how to feel about this, how do you feel about this?" He asked concerned.

"No, I actually like it, but note that I like your hair in its normal way too, it´s not only your hair that admirable you know!" I said blushing and just as I said this, his now red hair began to get yellowish again, same as his eyes changed back to the usual blue.

I was a loss of words for a few seconds, before blushing deep red, as he shook his blonde gold.

"This way, I like you the most!" I said absentmindly, gazing at his Yellow hair and his bright blue eyes, who looked at me curious with a raised eyebrow.

Only now I recognized what I had said and blushed terribly red.

"Waaah, eh, I, I, … oh well never mind!" I said, looking aside blushing, everyone laughed and we were embraced by everyone.

Naruto´s pov:

I looked smiled at the scene in front of us.

"Bolt has become an Adult in terms of power and responsibility, I felt this in his attack, today and a few days ago, he put his whole power and all of his heart in it, same as when he is trying to defend someone!" I said to Hinata.

"Did you really attacked him at full force earlier?" She asked me worried, but also curious with a strong and justified suspicion.

"Not entirely, it was definitely more than necessary, but not full force, you could say ¾ , full force is only for enemies, but he don´t have to know this.

If I had attacked him with full power, I definitely would have killed him, I already wounded him beyond believe, I never thought that the day would come, that I had to hurt my own Child in such a way, attacking him at full force would have been something, I would have never been able to repent for .

He is strong and he has driven me to defence, I had barely enough chakra to shield both of us!" I said.

"Wait you shielded both of you!" Hinata asked me.

"But of course, but I say you something, argh… ughhg… haaaa, Bolt, he is perhaps even stronger in terms of learning progress, than me at his age, I bet he will be even stronger as a Hokage as me.

But don´t tell him this, at least not yet, he shall always aim to be better, no matter what, becoming stronger means that he also is able to more effectively defend those dear to him.

I too will remain on becoming stronger!" I replied to her and she nuzzled up to me.

"Hey Honey?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah what!?" She replied.

"Do I have to sleep on the couch today?" I asked.

"Maybe, but only if I can too!" She stated and I smiled before kissing her dearly, and passionate.

"Uhm Guys, can you please stop going at it!" We heard Bolt and Sarada saying in unison, as they looked at us, closing the eyes of Himawari and Katsuo.

"Oh ehehe, well, I guess we can, but do we want to?" I stated cryptically, with a meaningful glance, while we adults laughed and the kids rolled their eyes.

Bolt was surrounded by his friends, while Sarada was helping him up on his feet.

Losing his balance, Bolt almost fell forward and almost right on top of Sarada.

With a quick reaction, he caught them both fall and held her in his arms, like in a romance movie-scene I would say, it only misses other clothes, a rose in his mouth and Tango music, then it would be perfect.

Sarada, after being helped, seemed to laugh before she embraced Bolt tightly, while the same caressed her hair like a cat, perhaps to comfort her.

"They are really cute together aren´t they!" I said to Sasuke, as I saw how Sarada looked worried at Bolt´s wound and kept on treating them.

"They do, but I hope he don´t wants to play games on my daughter, I wouldn´t like to necessarily hurt him!" The same answered, more absentmindly starring daggers at Bolt.

"Hey, he´s my son, he wouldn´t ever dare to play games on the girl he likes!" I said enraged.

"I hope for you, since it´s exactly what bothers me, that it is your son!" Sasuke replied unfazed.

"And what do you mean by that, well, I can understand you, I also not wish that your daughter plays any games on my son!" I stated and he looked enraged at me.

"As if my Daughter would ever do that, she is well mannered and she would never cheat!" Sasuke shouted.

"As less as my son would I assume, just face it Sasuke, you cannot say that my son would play any games on your daughter, without me claiming the vice versa!" I said and starred deep in his eyes.

"If your son hurts her/if your daughter hurts him…!" We both began.

"Then I have to hurt him/Her!" We continued.

"Sasuke-kun, uhmm, well, if you touch my son, I might have to kill you, and I don´t want Sakura-san to be angry at me!" Hinata said and I knew her threat was serious business.

I still remember the renegaded Kumo ninja group that tried to get Himawari, it were the same that once tried to get Hinata, she killed them all alone.

"You better believe her, Dattebayo, everyone who goes against our kids has lived the longest time in peace!" I said, to him with a penetrating glare.

"Remember the oldest of the Hyuuga elder, he´s only able to suck his soups through a straw anymore!" I whispered to him and he shuddered.

The whole town, more or less, knew about this night as the 3rd Birthday Affair.

"Touch my children and I will touch you, understood?" I said threating and he gulped.

"I could say the same!" He said but I knew that my threat was way scarier than his, even though we meant it equally honest.

"Anyways what now?" We asked Neherit.

"Well we still have to find enough seal-casters and strong Fighters, before we truly can act against the Demons, if they reappear, but I guess the best for now would be, to stop those idiots from the scourges of the World-Conquest, to breaking the seals in pieces.

They already managed to break through the first seals, the desert of eternal cries.

Also is it to assume that they have begun to break through the three gates of the first Hell circle, if they keep on going, the Demons will manage to get out already earlier than the predicted 2 or 3 Months!" Neherit answered worried.

"But for now you better rest a bit, we will meet at the Kage Meeting later!" He said and we nodded.

"Well seems like we are in deep shit again!" Kurama said sighing.

"Seems so buddy!" I said in my mind.

"Anyways what do you hold from your son, he´s strong for sure, he managed to easily craft the Perfect Giant Tailed-Beast Bomb, and still remaining conscious and most of all, alive!?" I asked him as I looked at My Son, while Kurama looked at a different view.

"I would say, I have a fine junior born, I just hope, that the others don´t kill me for this!" Kurama said sweatdropping, as I recognized the other Jinnchuriki to come towards me, while the Bijuus stood around us all.

"Hey man, what ya doing, I see you just keep on going, must be the vitalised essence of youth, always seeking for peace, love and truth!" Killer B came to me and we fist bumped.

"It´s going, just trying effortlessly to blow up my son!" I said jokingly.

"Your fight was awesome, no doubt about it, man this giant Bijuu Bakudan, truly was the hit!" He kept on rapping.

"Yeah thanks, good to hear!" I said sweatdropping.

"Hey Naruto, waaah you really grew up!" Yagura said as he had to look up to me, I smirked.

"Thank you, I see you still look as tiny as before!" I joked evilly with a laugh.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" He shouted in anger, as he tried to pack me by the collar, but he even had to jump.

"You heard me, hah, anyways is god to see you guys, and this time fully alive, i´m astounded!" I said.

"In which way is this good, now only new wars will come, …., although it´s nice to think about it, it has been years after I last destroyed something!" Kurama said sarcastically, before going over into a gleeful smile.

"Stop it will yah, its just right if we have peace, exactly like Jiraiya Sensei and Nagato wished for it!" I said.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, say why does this girl walks constantly around you, as if she´s searching something, to me it looks as if she looks at your behind, does your wife likes this?" Kurama asked and I looked outside to see Fuu indeed circling around me, scanning me off.

"What´s the matter Fuu?" I asked confused.

"Wow, when I look at you now, I can clearly see that a lot of time has passed since the 4th Ninja World War!" She said looking at me, much to the anger of Hinata, who went over to us.

"Can you please stop it, my wife is going to get really angry at you!" I said.

"Wait you married?" Fuu asked, a note too loud.

"Sounds like she´s really disappointed about this!" Kurama snickered in amusement.

"Honey, wouldn´t you like to present your friends to me!" Hinata said with a worse hidden angry tone, scanning both, Fuu and Yugito, off with her Byakugan.

"Of course honey, well these are Shukaku, the One-tails and Kazekage Gaara, the Young Woman here is called Yugito and her Bijuu is called Matatabi, the Two-tails, this tiny Boy there is Yagura and Isobu, the Three-tails!" I stated.

"Who are you calling a tiny boy?" Yagura shouted, while I simply ignored him.

"Here we have Roshi and Son Goku, the Four-tails, Han and Kokuoh, the Five-tails, this Man is Utakata, his Bijuu is Saiken the Six-tails, the Girl, you are looking so angry at, is called Fuu, with her Bijuu, Chomei, the Seven-tails and last but not least, Killer B, the Jinnchuriki of Gyuki, the Eight-tails!" I explained.

"Nice to meet you, I am Hinata Hyuuga, Naruto´s wife!" Hinata said, as she shook everyone´s hand and fist-bumped Killer B, after some hesitation, at least two of them she knew better.

"And how do we call the little one, the one who´s in your son?" Utakata asked with narrowed eyes.

"He´s called Kyūbiko!" I answered honestly.

"It seems that, by Bolts Birth, also a piece of Kurama has been inherited by my son, which grew alongside of him for the past 16 years, still it is a piece of Kurama after all, which means that even in the young years, of its own personality, Kyūbiko is, as we just have proved, as strong as Kurama himself!" I explained.

"Take this suckers, take it all in and deal with it, I am the first Bijuu to have gotten an offspring, I have a son now too!" Kurama said with a smug grin, right in the face of his fellow Bijuu comrades.

"Eh yeah, well that's mainly this, just note that there are now 2 Kyuubi!" I said and they looked worried.

"Is that really safe, I mean, one is already hard to deal with!" Shukaku asked.

"Why, you little…!" Kurama shouted, before I cut him off.

"Of course, we have asked us the same, but different from all of us, is Kyūbiko actually a born piece of Bolt, means he has him better under control as we ever will, and Hurting one of both result in hurting the other one as well!" I explained to them and they nodded in understanding.

Each one has heard the silent treat I said to Sasuke, and each one of them, knew better than to mess with me.

"Anyways I heard that you have been resurrected for one year, I hope the battle will not last long so you might can do all necessary things before dying, which is truly a pity!" I said to them and they nodded, being worried as well.

"I will see to find Hotaru, last time I couldn´t really say goodbye to her and I have to show her the one or the other Jutsu, I hope she´s alright and not too angry with me!" Utakata said.

"I too will try to find someone, I will look to find my Daughter, I hope she´s alright!" Yugito said and looked with a shy side-glance at Killer B.

"Wait daughter, don´t tell me you have been Pregnant before you died!" The same asked in disbelief.

"Actually yes, before I have been killed by Akatsuki, I gave birth to her, I then hid her, let her by a befriended elder pair, who have no idea about her heritage and about my true identity, a place I always went when everything was too much for me.

I knew that sooner or later Akatsuki would also go against you, I could not bring it over me, to get her in danger, even if it meant that I never could tell you about her.

Also, I didn´t wanted her to be made as a Jinnchuriki, same as I had to be, you know for yourself how hard the life is, I don´t want my Child to experience the same!" Yugito said and broke in tears, while Killer B took her in his arms.

"If only I would have known, I would have been able to be there for her, what if something has happened, no matter what, you should have tell me about her!" Killer B said with a stern glare and Yugito nodded.

"I know, I should have, i´m sorry Benjiro!" She said and B blushed deep red.

"Benjiro?" I asked confused.

"Well of course, or did you though B is my name, this only because of A´s father, to have an A-B Combination, I had to hide my name for this, only the closest people to my Heart know how I really am called!" Killer B, Benjiro said, flustered, before taking Yugito´s Face and kissed her dearly and gentle.

(Benjiro: Enjoying Life)

"You know Yugito, I hate to always have to pretend to only know you as a Ninja and not more!" Benjiro told her.

"I know what you mean, I really would love to finally can stand up for my love and relationship with you, everyone should knew it, on that no one ever badmouths about Jinnchuriki anymore, we are also only Human, we too have feelings, same as our Bijuus!" Yugito said.

"You were the one who brought me out of the darkness of hatred and Loneliness, you showed me the light, and that I am most thankful for!" Yugito said nuzzling in Benjiro´s embrace.

"But you know, 20 years have passed since we last saw each other, I am now 56, I am an old geezer, would you even be able to….mhm,….mmmmmm!" Benjiro tried to ramble but was silenced by Yugito, with a kiss.

"I don´t care how old you are, as long as you stand by my side!" She said to him and he nodded.

"Forever, I promise!" Benjiro said, as he went to his knees.

"Actually, this ring here I have held for 20 years, I wanted to give him to our next meeting, unfortunately did you died, before I could give it to you, but now, I have gotten a chance back and I wont let it slip away again.

Honoured Yugito Nii from Kumogakure, will you make me, Benjiro Kira from Kumogakure, the greatest honour on earth and marry me?" Benjiro asked and we all were buff, even Hinata, but I guess she also was a tiny bit glad.

"Yes Benji, I want to marry you!" Yugito shouted and kissed him in a stormy hug, all of us hollered and cheered gaining the attention of the public, not for the least of the Kages and Ex-Kages.

"Wait I only recognized this now, but that would mean that in a way, also Gyuki and Matatabi have done it together, well, how do you cope with all these tentacles, never knew you stand on such a fetish, Fire kitty!" Kurama laughed with a smug Grin.

"Stop it, you are not better!" Matatabi shouted, flushing, if possible deep red, which was well to see, thanks to her blue flame-skin.

"You even have born a son!" Gyuki nodded, blushing too.

"Well in my case it only happened, because my Jinnchuriki had unsecured intercourse with his wife, while I slept within his body, free from all seals that would have bounded me, so I am not really to blame for it!" Kurama said with a smug grin.

"Anyways, what are you guys going to do?" I asked the others, ignoring the bickering of them three.

"Well I guess I might just travel a bit and find a nice place to die in peace!" Roshi said.

"Perhaps I will try to master the jutsu, I had tried to master before I died the first time!" Han said.

"I don´t know exactly what to do, perhaps I will try to find a person, who might actually later mourn about my death, for all my life I was hated and feared, even though I never wanted to become a Jinnchuriki!" Fuu said, sulking.

"I mean these assholes make me a Jinnchuriki and then they keep on hating me, spitting and throwing rocks on me and even, that is the cream of it, keep on avoiding me completely.

Only my constant observers are more or less on my side, as if I had asked to become a Jinnchuriki goddammit, the only guy that might have liked me more or less was Shibuki, but I bet it was only because I once saved his life as we were younger.

Goddammit, I bet no one even cared that I died, am I right or am I right…. I bet not one person from Takigakure, participated in the Shinobi Alliance, I just know I am not important at all to them, only because of Chomei perhaps.

Anyways I have decided it, I will never return to that place again, I will make my wish come true, travel the world and make a hundred friends!" She stated, and suddenly a hand was laid on her shoulder.

"I can imagine how this had to be for you, you poor one!" Yagura said, smiling at her, while we were more or less crept out by this smile.

"The boy is right, I felt this way too!" I and Gaara said in unison.

"What do you always have with Boy, I am 20, I am an adult man, it´s not my fault that my Body did not grew more, you dicks!" Yagura shouted enraged at me and Gaara.

"Wait you are twenty, i´m twenty too, c´mon let´s be friends alright!" Fuu said naively.

"Uhmm sure!" The 143 cm tall man stated, baffled with a blush as he saw Fuu´s honest smile.

"I still haven't managed to accomplish my goal, but I know, before I will die again, I will make a Hundred friends, starting by the eight of you!" She said happily, before grabbing Yagura´s hand in happiness and dancing, without any bit of shame, in a circle around.

"I see, well I hope you can fulfil your goal then, seems like you all have made plans already, anyways, seems like we better prepare to chase after this 'Scourges of World-Conquest´ group, before they chase after us!" I said and they nodded and went back to their Bijuus.

"Ah before you go out on the world, I would like you all to come to the Kage meeting later, to discuss the matter with the future Jinnchuriki, also you have to tell me everything about the war, especially about the Juubi and the Shinju okay!" Neherit, who walked past us, said and we nodded.

"Dad, are you going to hold a conference later?" Bolt, who had listened to us, came and asked me with a sad glance, having heard what Neherit said

"Yeah I have to, sorry that I can´t train with you, but I guess this is a good opportunity for you to learn, how to use your eyes!" I said to him and out of the sad look he wore, a gleeful smile emerged.

"You are right, I will train right away; guys are you going to help me?" He asked his friends, as he ran to them.

"But Bolt….!" I said but he already had ran away to his friends.

"Oh well guess I can tell him this later!" I said smiling, before I turned around to meet with the other Kages.

A short while later at Conference of the Five Kage, Naruto´s Pov:

"Guys I guess we might as well continue, where we have ended!" I said.

"Before anything, I want to speak about an important matter, concerning future Jinnchurikis!" Neherit said.

"As you all now know, are the current Jinnchuriki, minus Gaara, Naruto and Killer B here, all alive for only one year, which means in clear text, after this year, wherever we managed to save the world or not, they will shatter back to dust and their soul goes back to the afterlife.

Therefore we have to speak about successors, however do we, means the Kazekage and the Hokage as well as all the other Jinnchuriki and myself, have some points to clear before that.

1st point:

From now on, humans, as well as the Bijuus themselves, are choosing in a mutual test the new Jinnchuriki, only if the Bijuu accepts the new host, and the host accepts the Bijuu, you are allowed to make him to one.

Also the Jinnchuriki has to have a certain, acceptable age, so that never again, a baby or a little kid, who cannot defend themselves against it, will be used against their will as a weapon, held under chains, like you did by so many of them.

Gaara and Naruto, who became Jinnchuriki shortly after their birth.

Fuu and Yugito, who became Jinnchuriki at the age of Two years, to only name a few.

Psychically unstable persons are, of course, out of question.

2nd point:

From now on, the Bijuus are not to be internally but externally to be bound, or if possible, they will be bound like Naruto to Kurama and viseversa, without seal that kills the host by a removal or without a seal at all, but only by friendship.

I will likely show you the Chikyū yūkai tamashī· shīringu kusari no Jutsu (Jutsu of the Earth-bounded Soul-sealing Chains), if you wish.

3rd Point:

From now on Jinnchuriki, are to be seen as an upper class Ninja, not like a person one can treat like crap, hate and spat on them, like they often had to live like.

You, who aren´t them for yourselves, just keep on making Jinnchuriki, but not one of you have even an idea, how I is to live like one, most of you cannot imagine it to themselves and that is the worst possible life to live.

Only those like Gaara, Yagura and Naruto, who managed to reach the rank of a Kage, are also able to choose successors without being ignorant to their state of mind when they become one, for them three once were or still are jinnchurikis themselves.

All in all, the social stand of a Jinnchuriki has to be raised to the same level as a Kage, for it will need power, endurance and guts to become and stay as a Jinnchuriki.

4th Point:

The Ninja who becomes a Jinnchuriki, is not to be bound by something like rules, who says they are not allowed to go out of the village but have to remain in a Cell.

First and foremost, a Jinnchuriki is human and has to be treated as such, he is not a tool that you close off after use, but a living being with feelings and a right to live.

Therefore shall it also be allowed to him, to love and marry; shall the selected partner wishes so, this is from now on an essential rule.

5th reason:

Also can, when love between two Jinnchurikis concerning a village or even two different villages blooms, these be accepted as legal.

Same as the offspring of these children, however the custody stands, like by every parent, by the two Jinnchurikis themselves and they are to blame if something goes wrong.

However is no one of them to be pre-sentenced, as long as the guiltiness hasn´t been proved, the person has to remain not guilty.

If anybody has a problem with these five rules, if anybody of you all wants to claim his ignorance to these rules, then he should now speak, or remain silent forever!" Neherit said.

It was silent for two minutes.

"Very well, from now on these Five rules are essential for living and holding Jinnchurikis in a Village, they will be in build in the Shinobu no sekai no kihon hōsoku (Fundamental Law of the Shinobi world).

This Shinobi world is momentarily represented by the befriended and allied Lands of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning and Iron, as well as the allied Ninja villages and lands of each of these 6 lands.

Does everyone agrees?" Neherit asked, also speaking with the Successor of the Land of Iron, Mifune´s son, Shizuru, who had been called over Videoconference, same as Shibuki, leader of Takigakure, who was practically riddled by Fuu´s hateful glance.

"I, Naruto Uzumaki, Nanadaime Hokage of Konohagakure am agreeing with this decision!" I said, with a honest and serious voice.

"I, Gaara Sabakuno, Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure am agreeing with this decision!" Gaara said as stiff as always, but also with a glimmering in his eyes.

"I Darui, Godaime Raikage of Kumogakure am agreeing with this decision!" Darui-san said.

"I Chōjūrō, Rokudaime Mizukage of Kirigakure am agreeing with this decision!" Chōjūrō-san said.

"What if we don´t agree!" Kurotsuchi-san asked and all eyes were on her, it was a normal question, but the meaning it had, was more dangerous and more difficult, than every other question, she asked in her life before ever has been.

"Hmm, Well let´s see,…., hh, oha, well let me demonstrate what will happen then!" Neherit said, before he performed some strange hand seals, seals I never have seen before.

"Tamashī no kagami no jutsu (Jutsu of the Soul mirror)!" He shouted, as he summoned something, looking like a massive mirror, which appeared out of nowhere.

"Let´s see, no, no, ah there!" He said, as suddenly something like a live picture of a camera was to see.

"What is this, who are these peoples?" Darui asked, equally confused as all of us.

"So is anything set?" One of the people in the mirror said.

"Yes, everything is ready, I heard they have their meeting and are going to stay in Konohagakure for a while, the security will be hard and it will not be easy to get in, but we will.

We going to steer them up a bit, peace is futile, peace is bad, only in war we Ninja can truly bloom, aren´t you agreeing!" The man, who sat in front of the others said.

"Yes Boss!" They all replied.

"What are you trying to show us?" Kurotsuchi asked narrowing her eyes.

"These guys are just planning to raid Konohagakure to either kill you or making it look like as if Konohagakure is breaking the peace contract, let me show you what I will do with people, who are going firmly on my nerves and in my way, or trying to destroy the peace that finally rules the world!" Neherit said as he used a fireball, which he created out of nowhere, while pushing it through the mirror, into the person, through which one´s eyes we saw through.

"Huaaaargh!" The Boss, which eyes we were looking through, suddenly coughed hard.

"Boss, what´s with you!" The vision switched to someone else, to see what their eyes was seeing.

The boss, was ablaze in fire, coming from his inner self, screaming his lungs out.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!" he screamed in intense pain.

"Explosion!" Neherit said calmly.

"Baaaaaaaammmm!" not far from the village something exploded, just as the house the Boss and his men were sitting in, did as well.

"Oh shit!" The Kages shouted as the glasses of the Conference room shook lightly, the explosion was not far from the village.

Gaara just sat there frowning, no reaction was to see from him, or at least none we hadn´t on ourselves.

"Compressing chakra and ruling it is as easy as a cake, everywhere where Chakra exist, I can influence!" Neherit said with a threating tone.

"I Kurotsuchi, Yondaime Tsuchikage of Iwagakure am agreeing with this decision!" Kurotsuchi said hastily, being bathed in sweat.

"I, Shibuki, leader of Takigakure am agreeing with this decision!" Shibuki said, equally sweat bathed as Kurotsuchi.

"I Shizuru, leader of the Land of Iron am agreeing with this decision!" Shizuru stated.

"Wonderfully, everybody has agreed, Lord Shizuru, as the son of Lord Mifune, who once witnessed the creation of the Shinobi Alliance, I would like you to witness this historical day, where it has been decided that Jinnchurikis are having a better future, where it has been decided that no innocent life, has to be sacrificed anymore, for the Villages´ greed for power.

Very well, all what´s left is to speak about the war, I had asked you to tell me some details and you did, from what I now know, has there been a being called Kuro Zetsu, which shall have influenced the world of Shinobi to become what it is.

"Well then, I now have made myself a clear picture about this, and I can rightly say that Kuro Zetsu is long not destroyed, oh contraire, it just has begun to be born!" Neherit explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Darui asked.

"According to the previous and the current Hokage, who both had been in a direct confrontation with it, I got a good Picture about the ability and psyche of this being.

I can tell you openly, that what you have seen as Kuro Zetsu, was not the will of Kaguya as it claimed, but the will of the Demons.

In the beginning of this meeting, in the early morning, I told you all about the history of my clan and the purges and the Destiny that might awaits us.

Also I told you, that the Shinju has been born out of my clan´s rotten bodies, their ancient forces and the stolen forces of the Demons, combined itself within the Shinju´s fruit.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, which had to be one of our successors, from a clan mixing with those new-borns, we once had shared throughout the world, dared to do the unforgivingly.

The Princess broke the Taboo and consumed the Fruit, mean our bodies and the entire force in the fruit, means both, Divine and Demonical forces.

The Divine forces hundred-folded her born powers, the demonical instead corrupted her, creating an own personality, Kuro Zetsu.

He calls Kaguya Mother because she was the host for him to grow.

As Kagyua created Mugen Tsukuyomi and caught everybody in it, she fed the Shinju with energy, but so also the Hatred and the deepest darkness had been consumed in it, creating a new Mass of absolute evil.

As Kaguya then merged with the Shinju to reclaim the chakra her sons had inherited, the Demonical forces took her over and Kuro Zetsu´s goal has been accomplished.

He created a new body for himself and possessed it with help of the Dark force, gathered through the hatred of Mankind.

The Juubi was born, a miniature version of one of the three Demon Gods, with this he wanted to break the seals, however he had not counted with Kaguya's unsatisfiable greed for power, which came with her corruption, her will took the Juubi over, who starved for the power of Kaguya´s Sons.

Just before Kaguya had been sealed, Kuro Zetsu split himself of her, however he also, unwillingly, split his own self into two, his will and body and his force and soul, Kuro Zetsu and the Reibi!" Neherit explained.

"Wait the Reibi, but how is that possible!" I asked.

"As you know very well by yourself, since you Naruto had fought against it, is the Reibi as strong as a Tailed beast even though he has no tail.

That's because he is only a mass of force, created by the hatred of Mankind, gathered together by the Shinju and as such also can only take this much amount of hatred and energy.

The Unmeasurable hatred and energy of Kurama to the time he fought against it, was therefore way too much for him to contain and he exploded, but as all souls he did not vanished complete, as long as the Demon gods dark influence remains on our world, same as Kuro Zetsu!" Neherit explained.

"And this means what exactly!?" Chōjūrō asked.

"All you had sealed was just a piece of something far bigger!" Neherit told us and we were both, astounded and terrified.

"So basically you are saying, that this Kuro Zetsu was the personificated evil, born out of the dark forces and the Hatred of Mankind being contained for centuries in the Shinju and has been released by Kaguya Otsutsuki?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Exactly, yes it was the Princess which literally had opened the box of Pandora, the Shinju, though having grown to purify the world, was in the end used for the power to reign the same.

The evil influence and the evil force of the Demon Gods, which we thought to have sealed, had managed to break out again, and now that the Juubi had been reawaken not long ago, the shinju who had fed himself again on the hatred of Mankind and fired it´s evil forces in all directions of the earth, pested the world with the entire force it once had caught to purify it.

Kaguya was also just a means for the purpose to awake the demons.

No wonder that the evil force had begun to call out for its origin and that they responded.

This means that as long as we cannot get rid of the dark influence brought through Kuro Zetsu, we have no chance to stop their reawakening!" Neherit said and all of us paled, even Gaara.

"So it is to assume that he has corrupted once again someone, to break the seals for him.

I have to investigate more about the seals, however, Naruto you said to me earlier, that you fought against a Demon called Mouryu, is this right?" Neherit asked me.

"Indeed it is, but why?" I asked.

"If I assume right, then this means that these bastards have already reached the Second Hell-circle, for Mouryu was the last Gate of the first Circle, you said that he had been freed for about hundred years before he had been sealed and then he managed to free himself, not so long ago.

No wonder that the Disaster Bell rings so loud already 900 years too early, the Seal gets weaker and weaker!" he replied.

"But how is it even possible, that they have been able to get through the Desert of Eternal cries?" I asked.

"You forget that the Seals have been casted by our Clan and the Senjus Clan, and you of all persons should know how easy it is nowadays, to bring dead people back.

With Kuchiyose Edo Tensei, a technic based on my clan´s Bochi no kaze (Cemetery wind), the Uzumaki clan once knew the secrets about this technique but no one had enough power to use it alone.

So someone must have created this abbreviated technic, and somehow this Orochimaru you told me about, must have gotten to know about this technique at some point, perhaps exactly there, in Uzushiogakure, shortly before its destruction.

So it´s likely, that they must have resurrected a bunch of Uzumakis, in which both bloods are flowing!" Neherit said and suddenly it dawned to me.

"No… no you don´t mean that…?" I stammered almost falling of my Chair.

"Exactly what you think of Naruto, I came to the same conclusion just now!" He replied and so agreed with the greatest horror possible for me.

"What do you mean, what has happened?" Darui asked.

"There is only one reason why they destroyed Uzushiogakure and so the Uzumaki Clan, to later revive them back with the Kuchiyose Edo Tensei, to control them against their will.

Uzumakis, who had been well trained in it, are completely resistant against Genjutsu, for many demons they had sealed in the history, attacked with Genjutsu!" Neherit said and if possible, the entire atmosphere in the room went ice cold.

"There is only one person who knew about this Technique other than the Second Hokage!" Oonoki stated and the veins on his head were visible.

"Orochimaru, well it is to assume, after all Orochimaru joined Akatsuki exactly a year before Naruto-san´s birth and the destruction of Uzushiogakure, so it´s only logical that he got in contact with Kuro Zetsu, so it is to assume that Kuro Zetsu still lives and has contacted Orochimaru after the war, maybe he had even contact before the foundation of Akatsuki, who knows?" Neherit explained, there was a strange glimmering in his eyes, as if he knew something, something he either won´t tell or still have to prove.

Honestly, Neherit was a riddle to me and I don´t know if I really can trust him, but the much he told us about sounds rather plausible, we will see.

"That bastard, that what he meant as he said that he waits for someone, to become the Wind that turns the windmill!" Tsunade shouted hitting the table so hard that I splittered.

"That bastard, he was in it the whole time, which means he is also responsible for the extinction of my Clan, grrrr, Udon!" I shouted.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, what´s the matter?" The spectacled boy, which stormed in the room at my command, asked afraid.

"Every Jonin and Special Jonin, as well as the Anbu will have to come in a half hour at my office, for an urgent briefing, give word to them, immediately!" I said and he nodded before storming back out.

"Very well, I will try to find as much of information I can get, about this and other things, you guys meanwhile prepare anything for a raid party at our enemies, then we should met again, but note that these guys from the Scourges of World-Conquest, might not be so easy to beat and still, I don´t know how many enemies we will have to face!" Neherit said.

"Can´t you see them like you did with those criminals!" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Not when a barrier of exceptional Chakra or even a different kind of power is existing around them, and it is sure that they have such a thing.

Getting through the Desert of Eternal cries and starting to break the seal of the 9 circles of Hell, is not easy without massive amounts of chakra!" Neherit explained, before he turned around and left the room to do whatever he had to prepare.

"You better take precautions with which we can easily double our number of warriors, if things are getting ugly!" He continued, as he stopped at the door before vanishing through it.

"As Neherit said, we might have to fight against the Reibi, the being which gets stronger through hatred and dark emotions but note that there might actually also be the Ghost soldier army of Mouryu, I will contacted Shion, High priestess of the Land of demons and a personal friend of mine, to take measurements and to investigate about him, I hope we will also find some things out about this.

We don´t know what for enemies will be waiting for us, however can we be sure that they will be at least , as strong , when not even stronger, than the Akatsuki.

We better strengthen our troops, also should we better look out for exceptional Shinobi or persons you know.

Neherit is right, at least on this, we better take precautions with which we can summon a large variety of Ninja´s if things are getting ugly, so to say a teleportation jutsu like the Hiraishin no jutsu, to teleport from A to B.

For now we just have to get the strongest Ninjas together for the search and the later raid, and then we will meet up with Neherit, this might last a few days, since you guys have to go back home, before you can do anything!" I said to the other Kage, who nodded.

"We have to absolutely prevent a fifth World war to unfold, no matter in which form it might come!" I continued and murmurs raised but it seemed that the Kages approved to my plan.

"Yes, and even if they will be able to get back out, we might can prevent a too big destruction if we can kill them early enough!" Darui, the Raikage of my Generation said.

"But will we be able to do that, you heard Neherit, they have to their time of glory, destroyed half of his entire Clan, means far, far over 20.000 peoples as Shukaku said, they have to be extremely strong.

If you consider that Neherit alone already could block both Matatabi and Kokuoh´s attacks, with nothing but the bare hands of a controlled ninja.

According to Shukaku he even fought against Seven of Nine Bijuus all alone, without even gaining a scratch for himself, the Controlled ninja however was not so lucky!" Gaara said.

"Well we won´t know it if we don't try, all in all I really would like it if we might defeat these renegades, before they actually manage to free the Demons, and who knows what they want to do with the third one, what if they manage to revive him, re-awaking him from his dead like slumber?" I asked.

"Then we will be at the end of our all travel I guess!" Darui stated.

"Frankly I would be more comfortable at heart, if we could smother the danger in germ, a war like 19 years ago, I really do not want to relive!" Kurotsuchi, the current Tsuchikage said.

"Neither do we!" Chōjūrō, the current Mizukage, said.

"It displeases me while to get them all out of retirement, but I think we can agree that we will need quite possibly the forces of our predecessors, who still have enough fire for two of us, I hope you are okay with this, your power can really double ours!" I said to them all and the others nodded, so also the Ex Kages.

"For now I think we can let them be so far, it would be better if we order some Anbu, Kinkaku Butai and Oi-Nin towards this 'desert of eternal Cries´, with Neherit as Leader, since he knows as the only one, how to break the barrier to his Land.

So we might see how things are standing there, and if Neherit truly speaks the truth, so we might get some more information about the progress of the unsealing of these Demons!" Gaara said.

"You don´t really trust Neherit, well I cannot say I do too, still, it is undeniably that some very strange things are happening lately, beginning with the Earthquakes near the Land of lightning and the Land of Water, who seem to come from somewhere far out on the Kirinoumi Ocean!" Darui stated.

(Kiri no umi= sea of Mist)

"Neherit stated that the continent he lives on is secured by a giant force-field which makes the Island invisible, also shall it bring the ships to simply drive around it!" I said.

"But yeah you guys are right, still somehow something just makes me believing him, and I researched his history in the few Books of my Clan which had been saved, not many tell concrete about the end of the world or the erase of every existence, but about an repeating great Cataclysm cycles which happens every thousand years and which begins with massive earthquakes which seem to come out of nowhere!" I said as I showed them the books.

"According to my ancestor, Lord Ashina Uzumaki, the days of destruction begin with the alignment of all 9 planets, when our Planet stands exactly in the middle!" I explained.

"I have already contacted our observatory, and they could confirm me, that exactly such an alignment will happen in the next 3 to 4 months, as you see, many factors are standing up for Neherit´s story, but to be really sure about this, I will ask Lady Mito about it.

Still we should always have a plan in the backhand, but for now we better do as said and gather our men and informations together!" I stated and they nodded.

"Well then, I think it´s best when you all travel back home and take preparations for the departure of the allied forces, also we should reawaken the smiths, we likely will need weapons!" I said and they nodded.

"Surely we will need them to fight, also if this Neherit do only jokes with us, as I said before, who guarantees us, that he is not behind this whole shit and manipulates us all!" Darui said.

"This might be a justified doubt, still, as I said before, something just makes me believing him somehow, I don´t know why, I cannot sense myself being under a Ninjutsu and Ao-san isn´t seeing anything am I right?" I asked, the man of Kirigakure.

"No, at least no dōjutsu you shall stand under!" Ao-san replied.

"Anyways, in expectation for some well forged ideas for a mutual plan and a soon meeting, I thank you all dearly for coming!" I said and they nodded polite, we all bowed before each other.

"Naruto, what's this?" Gaara asked, as he went past me, gesturing to my shoulders.

"Just some minor wounds I got from the last attack in the Leader-selection-battle!" I said, as I played it off.

"I see, your son sure is really strong, in more than one way, I saw that too in the first test, I think he might be a good Chunin, if not even more!" Gaara said, looking out of the window towards the field where my wife and my Kids sat with their friends, same as Matsuri-san, Gaara´s wife.

"Yes, but as long as no one tells him that instantly, that he might already has surpassed me an might be stronger than me, he will keep on aiming to get stronger.

Just as I planned, he has so much potential to become stronger than me and my father ever have been, as Hokage, I hope he someday become the Hokage too!" I said.

"He surely will, I cannot imagine anyone else for the time being, by the way, I might also become a father soon!" Gaara said blushing.

"Really, Congratulations then, now all the problems and all the yelling's will start, you know how it goes!" I joked and he chuckled.

"Kind of can remember that very well, I just hope I won´t ever get in such a situation.

Sigh, yes my beloved Matsuri is pregnant, in the 5th month, I just hope I survive that, people always talk about it with worse memories, so long until the baby is there, then they just say that I was worth all the stress!" Gaara said and I nodded.

"It´s pretty much like this, but I tell you, what they say is right, as soon as you hold this new life in your arms, you just know that everything you ever endured in your life was worth for this one moment.

"Anyways, Boy or Girl?" I asked curious.

"A girl, we decided to name her Shana!" Gaara said, and even if he looked happy, I saw a sudden sadness in his eyes.

"Naruto, do you think I will be a good dad?" He asked me.

"Sure you will, I have heard from Shikamaru how you always looked for Shikadai, as he was a baby, whenever they came visiting you and Matsuri in Sunagakure.

Hey I managed it quite well I would say, so you will make it even better, you are a genius after all, you proved that more often than I count and want to admit!" I said and he laughed.

"Just always remember, the life of being a Father or a Kage is very similar, when someone tries to hurt your family, just beat their ass into the oblivion, care about your family and they will care about you, on their whole own way!" I said and he nodded.

"Guess I have to tell Hinata about it, so she can give Matsuri some tips then!" I said with a smile.

"I guess that would help her much, me probably too!" Gaara said, smiling as well.

"Wow, I think it's the first time I truly see you smiling after a long time, I think the last time was at your marriage with Matsuri-san, 5 years ago!" I said, with an own trademark smile.

"Guess you are right, Matsuri also says I should smile more, she thinks that this way I might become happier myself, but when I smile, the others always become suspicious of me!" Gaara said and I had to laugh out loud.

"Really, sucks to be you, I guess?!" I laughed, before we exited the conference room.

Saying Goodbye to the others a last time, before we would meet again, Gaara and I went back to our families, also for me to speak a stern word with Bolt, for him to not use this new power all too careless.

Meanwhile on the Trainings field, Bolt´s Pov:

"These eyes are really awesome!" I said in pure excitement to test them out, still I knew what my father would say, that I don´t use them all too careless.

Not that I wish to go blind anyways.

"They truly seems to be strong, if you can see that I was an Alpha´s Lioness!" Sarada said blushing.

"A very majestic one to be honest, I never saw such a well-cared fur, and such a smooth walk, every movement is well placed and fully calculated, just like yours in battle!" I said.

"I wish I could get it out of time and keep it, so I can caress its fur all day long!" I joked and I saw her blushing.

"Seems like you are just the same, even with new eyes and hair, still, I must congratulate you, Bolt, you just proved to be as strong as your father and you have the potential to become even stronger!" Mom said, who sat together with her friends.

She sat with Aunt Hanabi, Sarada's mother, Mrs Uchiha, Inojin´s, Shikadai´s and Chouchou´ as well as Senpou´s parents, even with Mrs. Sabakuno from Suna, together to speak and to watch us train.

"Aww chucks Mom it´s nothing, I just train every day to someday become a Hokage like dad is!" I said.

"I see, I still remember the time, as you were young, where you hated them, I thought you might still dislike them!" Mom asked.

"No, they are strong, and they protect everyone, if I can be as strong as Dad, then I can also protect everyone!" I said and smiled and she did too, before embracing me.

"Then I am glad that you like Hokages!" She said and I nodded, i was about to return to my friends.

"Bolt, please stay here for a moment!" mom said, as she searched something in her pocket.

"Here I wanted to give this to you, if you would ever have been able to defeat your father in a real match!" mom said.

"Wait defeat, I thought we were equal strong, that no one of us has lost but that it has been a draw?" I asked.

"Naww, you father says that, so that you won't stop getting stronger, he always wishes that his own son become stronger than himself, logically also Himawari chan, I always hope she becomes stronger than even Neji-Nii was!" Mom said whit an honest smile.

"Anyways where do I have it?" Mom asked, as she practically dived within her backpack, suddenly I felt an immense dark feeling creeping up my spine, I looked around.

"What´s the matter Bolt?" Mrs. Uchiha asked me, as she saw my nervousness.

"Something feels off, I feel as if we are watched, by something different, something evil!" I said, as I looked around.

"Swwwoooosh!" Suddenly I heard a noise, very faint, it was as if a kunai was flying through the air, the noise became stronger and louder, as if out of one Kunai thousands would become

"From where, from where!" I looked around, but then it dawned to me.

"Upwards!" I shouted but it already was too late, thousands of big Kunais came down on us, bigger than the usual size.

"Kyūbiko, please help me!" I shouted and I was enforced by his Chakra in one Second flat.

"HIMAWARI, use Hakke Hogosen tenohira (Eight Trigrams, thousand protective palms)!" I screamed to her and she nodded, using her Jutsu.

She had far more talent for the Hyuuga Clan´s jutsu as for father´s jutsus, more than I might ever get, still I too was not so weak in them.

However by me it was viseversa, I was way more font in Dad´s jutsus then in moms, must be the genes, still both of us even managed to advance the Hyuuga-styled Taijutsu, a thorn in the eyes of the Elders.

I had a little suspicion that Himawari also had gotten a bit of Kyuubi´s Chakra inherited, but if father says that she has no Bijuu, but something different in her, I would trust him on that.

Also that this 'Different thing´ would be save enough for her.

"Shit!" I shouted, as I used my own Chakra in the Sennin Mode and mixed it with Kyūbiko's Chakra to craft my Jutsu.

"Bijuu Dama Rasen Shuriken!" I shouted and held it over Mom and her Friends, shielding them, while I was looking over Byakugan for the attackers.

"There they are!" I saw them clearly, they prepared another weapon salve.

"Oh no you don´t!" I shouted.

"Mom!" I said and she understood.

She used her Jutsu to shield her friends, while I used mine to throw in the direction of the attackers.

"Dammit, they vanished!" I said, as I watched over Byakugan view, how they vanished in thin air.

"Hey, is everybody okay?" I asked.

"Yeah we are alright, thanks to Himawari!" Sarada said, while Himawari was happy, until she looked at mom, I had a evil suspicion as I saw tears in her eyes, I spun around.

"We too!" mom said but she had some severe wounds.

"Mom!" I said afraid, as I saw how she clutched her stomach in which five big Kunais stuck.

"Guess I am not as strong, as I was anymore, but at least I was able to shield you!" She said smiling before she fell on the ground.

"Breath, Hinata!" Sarada's mother said, as she used her medical Jutsu.

"Dammit, Sarada help me!" She shouted and her daughter ran towards us.

"What happened?" Hima asked and her breath stopped, as she saw mom lying on the ground.

"Mom!" She said tears forming in her eyes, as she fell to her knees before mom.

"Mooom!" She cried bitterly, while mom fought with the unconsciousness to remain alive, a sight which made me seeing red around the corner of my eyes.

"Himawari, Bolt, I beg you, please, stand strong no matter what, and always listen to your father, help him to manage the village.

Keep your friends safe, and always remember, saving a friend is worthier than accomplishing a mission.

Missions are coming and going, but friends are staying, hopefully, a lifelong!" Mom said, tears in her eyes as she stroke our faces.

"Dammit, we lose her, Hinata don´t sleep in!" Sarada´s mother shouted with own tears in her eyes.

"HINATA!" We heard it and I saw dad running up, with tears in his eyes as well.

"Naruto-kun!" Mom said trying to move her head.

"Dammit, mom, there is poison in her blood, quick working one, I don´t know of which kind!" Sarada shouted.

"Goddammit!" Sarada´s mother screamed.

"Hinata don´t you dare to sleep in, listen to me, listen to my voice, you going to be okay don´t die, what shall I do without you, without you I cannot live anymore!" Dad shouted holding mom's hand.

"But you have to, for Boruto, …., and…,and… Hima-wa-ri-…!" With last force mom spoke Hima-chans name. before she stopped breathing.

"Noooooooooo!" We shouted all five, while our tears flew endlessly.

"NOOOO MOMMY; MOMMY; MOMY!" Himawari shouted , it pained my heart to see her this way.

"These bastards, they hurted my mother and made my little sister and my father, and my friends crying, I won´t take this, I won´t allow this, I KILL THEM!" I shouted, as I activated my Nikkōgan, I had no idea how to do it, or if it even would work, I just hoped out of the deepest of my heart that I just did.

"Bolt what are you doing?" Sarada asked, as I was engulfed in massive chakra.

"I´m going to attack them, before they can!" I said and I simply wished to go back in time.

"Bolt don´t do it, you don´t know if…..!" Suddenly the world seemed to stop dead in track, before it began to rewind.

"So this is how it looks like when the time of the world gets turned around, anyways the attack lasted for about 10 minutes so I will go back for 40 minutes, gives me 30 minutes to get them before they get us!" I said with a grim expression.

"Stop!" I shouted, as I managed to get at the point I intended.

It was a while after the Match with Dad, some hours after it.

"Bolt, Bolt, Bolt; BOLT!" I heard it coming.

"Waaah! "I said as I heard Sarada´s voice ringing in my ears.

"Bolt are you alright?" Sarada asked, as I looked curious around.

"Hima-chan!" I said loudly.

"Yes Nii-san?" She asked me curious and concerned, for I rarely raised my voice at her.

"Go get Dad, no matter what, don´t let anyone stop you, tell him that I need to speak with him instantly!" I said to her.

"But Nii-san, the Conference is….?" She asked.

"Go, quickly!" I demanded shouting and she nodded rapidly, leaving us on speedy toes alongside of Katsuo.

"What have you seen?" Sarada asked me, while the others looked confused at me.

"We going to get attacked by ninjas, mom is getting badly hurt, she even dies.

The attackers escape, I won´t let that happen, they are about forty miles away!" I said to them.

"But how, how do you know this!" Chouchou asked me.

"I came back with the power of the Nikkōgan, if we act now we might capture them and can press them out, perhaps they have something to do with our enemies; they at least wore headbands of different nations!" I said to her with a hard voice, allowing no contradiction, while the others listened.

"Mom, I have to tell you something important, I hope you believe me!" I said and so I told her and the parents anything and they were more than just shocked.

"We will now do so as if we train over here, mom, you and the parents are sitting over there on the bank and act as if you chat a bit.

Mom and myself, we going to observe the enemy, if they are about to make a move, then we will attack faster than they can!" I explained and they nodded.

"Alright, let´s do this!" We said.

After 10 minutes Himawari was back with Dad, who used his Hiraishin no Jutsu.

"Bolt, what´s the matter, why did you sent Himawari-Chan and Katsuo-san, I had an important Meeting?!" Dad asked.

"Do as if you ruffle my hair, I will explain it to you!" I said and told him everything, while he did as if he was ruffling my hair.

"Someone is going to attack, thousands of kunai, big ones with barbs will raining from above, in 20 minutes, mom gets killed if we do nothing!" I said to him and he understood.

"The Enemy, where is he?" he asked.

"40 miles away from here, around 50 or 60 men, using new age automatic gun-weapons and Kunai-throwers, how shall we do it?" I asked.

"You shield the others, leave it to me!" He said his eyes blazing with fury.

"Dad catch them alive by possibility, maybe they know something about the desert case!" I said quickly.

"Okay will do so!" Dad replied.

"Be Careful!" I said and he nodded.

"You guys too!" he said and we nodded before he vanished in thin air.

"Hima-chan, when I shout 'Now´, use your Eight Trigram, thousand Protective palms technique and shield our friends, I will shield mom and your parents with Bijuu Dama Rasen Shuriken, okay!" I said and she nodded.

"Alright let´s go!" I said, as I went to mom.

"Are you sure about this Bolt, did I really died?" Mom asked me.

"I am sure about this, I saw how you died before my very eyes, your last words were mine and Himawari´s name.

Mom i´m so sorry, last time I couldn´t save you because I used my attack to shoot on the enemy, this way I couldn´t defend you, now Dad will care about the enemy and I can shield you properly!" I said confidently.

"How long, Bolt?" Sarada asked me.

"10 more minutes!" I said.

"What shall we do?" mom asked.

"You wanted to give me something, before we were attacked, you others spoke with each other!" I said.

"Ah yeah, this is what I wanted to give you!" Mom said as she took out a head band, similar to the Konoha headbands, only with a sign, looking like the Konohagakure symbol, both normal and mirrored combined, but also like a mirrored Uzumaki sing, two horns over a trapez with a spiraled flame sign inside.

"Is this?" I asked and she nodded.

"Your father and I Imagined it, it shall show the connection of the Hyuuga clan with the Uzumaki Clan who is living here in Konohagakure, DNA which is flowing in you and Hima-chan!" mom said and I blushed.

"Sssssswwoooosshh!" I heard it.

I looked upwards.

"Himawari, Now!" I screamed, before casting my own Jutsu, as before the Kunai rained down on us but we managed to block them all of.

I looked over Byakugan, only to see Dad how he used Chō Oodama Rasen Shuriken on his enemies, using it with Chakra threads to be able to direct its flight, then he came with one man he had caught, back towards us, the rest died in the attack.

The Kunai rain died out with them.

"Alright, I think it´s save!" I said, as I stopped my Jutsu after the last kunai fell down on us and nothing happened after a while.

"Is someone hurt?" I asked.

"No we are fine!" They said.

"Are you really fine, don´t you dare to joke or play something off, got it?" I asked with a stern voice.

"Yes we really are okay!" they said.

I looked at everyone, and also at mom, Himawari and Sarada, especially at them.

"Are you okay?" I asked Mom again.

"Yes I am honey!" She said but patiently let me scan her from all sides.

"You were right Bolt, they were all of different nations, Nukenins all along, they stand all in bingo books.

It seems to me as if something has controlled them, the Jonins are gathering their corpses, from the money we will finance the first few actions we will take!" Dad said.

"You have reacted well my son, thanks to you no one was hurt!" he said and ruffled my hair.

"I know, still without these eyes mom would not live any longer, I would have been to blame, I owe her live to this eyes!" I said with a sad glance.

"I know but you have got them for a reason as you just saw, I am proud of both of you, You and Himawari, you managed to save your friends!" Dad said, as he kept on ruffling mine and now also Hima´s hair.

"I will now bring this guy to Ibiki and you all come back inside of the village, there you are at least safe!" Dad said and we nodded as all of us rushed, as fast as we could, back inside.

"So, I go telling the Kages about the situation, Hinata can you bring Bolt and Himawari home, please I will ask to double the guard, and then I will have a long talk with this guy here!" Dad said, after we entered the village, he grabbed the ninja with his chakra arms by his neck.

"I will see you tonight, this might last a bit, i´m sorry honey!" Dad said and kissed mom.

"I understand, no fear I will keep them all save!" Mom said.

"I will help her!" I said confidently, before I was embraced.

"Bolt I cannot say more than thank you, you saved us all again!" Sarada said and kissed me on the cheek, I think I was about to overheat, everything went black.

Sarada´s Pov:

"Woah Bolt, easy man!" I said, as he fell unconscious.

"Geez, how was that with defending everyone, how will you do this if you are out cold?" I asked him sweat dropping.

"I think traveling back in time and still using such a massive Jutsu as a Chō Oodama Rasen Shuriken, was just too much for him, or it was because your kiss is a lethal weapon!" Mrs. Uzumaki said a bit too amused, for being targeted only minutes ago.

"We better bring him home!" Himawari stated worried, glancing concerned at her brother while stroking his hair like a cat, seems like this is genetically, he often has done that by me to comfort me.

"Can I perhaps come with you; I would like to stay at his side?" I asked blushing.

"But of course, if your Mother is okay with this?" Mrs. Hyuuga stated, I looked at mom who nodded.

"Then it is set!" I said confidently.

"I will bring your clothes this evening, Sarada!" Mom said and I nodded, not really listening, my eyes focused on Bolt who was picked up by Inojin and Shikadai.

"You really like him, don´t you!" Senpou asked me, as she stepped next to me with a worried glance.

"You too don´t you?" I asked, more as a matter of fact, than as out of jealousy.

"As a friend yes, no fear I won´t steal him from you!" Senpou said and I blushed deep red.

"Stop being stupid, it, it-it´s not like that!" I stammered.

"So,… is that your answer, I though you like him very much, like, really, really, really much?" Senpou asked me, with a raised bushy eyebrow.

"I guess it´s because we were always together, ever since he saved me from the darkest pit of loneliness!" I said.

"He´s very close to me, no matter his attitude and crazy acts in the past!" I continued, with a worried tone.

"I cannot imagine life without him though, I might fall back into the dark pit I was brought out from by him!"

"Do you love him, Sarada, I mean really, really, love him?" Chouchou asked in a serious tone.

"I don´t know if love is the right thing to say, I feel deeply for him, but I have no idea how he feels, or if he even would like it, to feel something more than friendship for me.

I don´t even know, if he even ever thought about this, I mean he is the descendant of the Senjus and I am an Uchiha, I don´t think it´s possible for us to ever truly come together… but for now I am fine to only be friends with him!" I explained to my best friends.

"It lasted a long time, before my parents came together, as long as it took Bolts father and mother, even though they all knew each other since the Ninja academy, some even before.

Love, this still has time, at least I hope it has, it happens when it happens I would say!" I said to her.

"I see!" Chouchou responded, sucking on a lollipop.

"And you, what about you girls?" I asked blushing.

"Well there certainly is one, but I don´t know either if he even loves me more or just because our parents like each other, still I know that I feel deeply for him, I think he does too for me, but as I said i´m not sure!" Chouchou said, looking at Shikadai.

"I think he likes you!" I said to her and she nodded slowly.

"Possible, well as you said, love has time, at least we hope!" Chouchou stated.

"You are right, well and you Senpou, who´s then your beloved one, if not Bolt?" I asked curious.

"There is hopefully only one you can fall in love with, not, just say it!" Chouchou stated, ready to go in a real bitchfight with Senpou, if things turn out like she fears.

"It´s Inojin, sigh, but honestly I don´t think he even realizes me to be a woman, I mean he never said I would looked beautiful, always just good, cool, strong and so on, but whenever you come in the same room as him, his eyes practically glue on you, Sarada!" Senpou said sadly.

"Woaaah, wait you won´t say that he has fallen for me!" I asked confused.

"I think so, at least according to the glances he gives you!" Senpou stated.

" You are sure, I mean, I never recognized any looks?" I asked confused.

"How can´t you recognize his hot feverish glance at you, I would overheat by the sheer thought of being scanned by his eyes, scanning each millimetre of my body, stripping me with his eyes!" Senpou stated drooling and daydreaming.

"Well, now that you say me this, I need mind and ear soap, a lot of it, this sounds really creepy, like a stalker!" I said, kind of grossed out, I glanced at Inojin and truly saw his glance on me, such an intense stare.

I looked straight in his eyes before he gazed at the ground blushing.

"Brrr, this is really creepy!" I mumbled.

"It´s not, goddammit, Sarada, I wish I were you, stop complaining about it!" Senpou stated full of jealousy.

"As if I care if this guy is watching me, he shall just stop doing it!" I said and suddenly I felt weird in my skin.

I looked, only to see him staring at me again.

"Brrr!" I shuddered.

"Girls stop it okay, we clear this later, for now all you have to do, Sarada, is to care about Bolt and to get him up real quick!" She laughed at me and I smiled as well.

"Will do so!" I said saluting and so we arrived, minutes later, at the Uzumaki Villa.

"Good Luck you Lovebirds!" Chouchou said chuckling.

"Oh wait you, I will make you pay later, just wait!" I said to her.

She chuckled and went back home with the others.

"I hope he will be alright soon!" Senpou said, as she too turned around.

"Phone me when he´s up okay!" She said and I nodded before Bolt´s mother closed the front door.

"Himawari-chan can you bring me some wet towels!" Mrs. Hyuuga asked her daughter.

"Alright Mommy!" Hima said.

"Sarada can you help me to lay him on the couch?" She asked and I nodded heaving him up on it.

"Is he going to be alright?" I asked, as I laid him down, he sure was heavy but also lighter than I actually thought.

"Yes, he´s just exhausted, it was the first time for him to time travel, right after such a massive battle with his father, and Neherit said that it requires a lot of chakra to even do it.

It´s only normal to collapse, after using so much Chakra, what he need now is some calm to sleep!" Mrs. Hyuuga said.

"Well Mrs. Hyuuga..!"

"Oh my, not so formally, Sarada-san, you are under friends here, just call me Hinata-san!" Mrs. Hyuuga said.

"Uhmm, well, Hinata-san, is it then really okay for me to stay here?" I asked her worried.

"Yes, I guess what he needs now the most, is a caring hand!" She said with a smile, while Himawari was laying a wet towel on his forehead.

"But then he would need rather your hand, or Hima's, I am not really the one he needs now, don´t you think so!" I said worried, I was known to not be much careful, I was more the coarse motor skills-type of girl.

One also could say, that I was more or less a Tsundere, as Bolt often playfully claims, he aimed right in the black spot I would say.

"Oh I think you will do just fine, I lay the wellbeing of my son in your hands, Sarada-san!" Hinata-san said and I blushed equal as much as I sweat-dropped.

"Oh my!" she said and chuckled.

"No need to be afraid, Bolt´s robust, in a few hours, maybe, he will be back on the track, babbling nonsense, doing stupid things and still making us laughing, loving and admiring him!" She said smiling.

"Well then I leave you two alone, don´t do anything that I wouldn´t do!" She said and exited the room, I blushed furiously.

"Why did I had to ask?" I mumbled as I put a wet cloth on Bolt´s forehead, his head in my lap, after I sat myself on the couch.

"You poor, you had to do so much, more times than I can count you saved us all, you are truly amazing, Bolt!" I said, I didn´t said this often enough I guess, but it was the truth.

He truly was amazing and I wished to someday be as strong as him, not that I was weak but I felt myself slightly slacking behind him, Dad was constantly away and mom had no time to train with me, so my lone training didn´t helped much to it, all who were left to train with me, were Bolt and the others.

I liked training with him thought, but it always showed me how much more clever and how stronger he actually was, somehow he always found a way out of dire situations.

I looked at the sleeping face of the boy I admired so much, no matter how many time had passed since this time, as he helped me to get out of the pit I was in, I felt myself being more and more drawn to him.

"Please become stronger and fulfil your wish to become Hokage, so I can be….!" I stated, before I leaned in to kiss him on the lips, i stopped as I recognized that we were watched.

"Be what…!?"Himawari-Chan, asked from between the slide doors, with glimmering eyes full of anticipation.

"Uwaaaaaaah!" I screamed, I had totally forgot that she was there.

"Hehehe, enjoying your alone time with Nii-Chan?" she asked as she brought some towels and a Bucket of cold water.

"Uhhhmmm, no I was… I was only… I only wanted to…, uhmm!" I tried to say something, but I was a loss of words.

"Heheh, I better let you Lovebirds alone for now, heheh!" She chuckled evilly, as I heard her going out of the room.

"She´s really a little devil!" I said, remembering that this girl was only 14.

"Geez i´m so stupid!" I said to myself, blushing furiously.

"Sarada?" Bolt asked weakly, his eyes were fluttering open, before he was falling back asleep.

"Shssh, don't speak, sleep a little!" I said to him, as I stroke my hand over his hair, returning his caressing from earlier.

"Get well soon Bolt!" I said, as he fell asleep, his sleeping face made me sleepy as well and faster than I knew I too fell asleep.

"Bolt, you are great!" I heard myself mumbling, before I drifted into a deeps sleep.

Early wake-ups and Past is what makes the Future

Bolt´s Pov:

It was early in the morning, as I woke up, thanks to something which blew a wave of heat and mild wetness on my cheek.

"Huh?" I mumbled as I tried to focus my sight, I looked forwards to see Sarada´s face right before me.

"How come…?" I asked, as I recognized that I had slept, head in her lap, while she fell asleep right over me, the wetness and the heat on my face came from her breath.

"Gosh this is somehow strange and lovely at the same time!" I said, as I wiped the wetness of my face and began to poke her stomach.

"Huuh!" She made and only barely went awake, before falling back asleep.

"Honestly I don´t really want to wake her up, if she sleeps so deep!" I mumbled.

I looked at her face and the more I looked the more I began to notice, just how lovely Sarada looked when she was asleep.

"She´s so beautiful, so stunning, totally breathtaking… if only I could… but no, this wouldn´t be right…, especially when she´s sleeping, I really won´t like to wake her up, however I cannot let her breath more on me, or I might overheat here!" I mumbled, as I kept on poking her stomach.

"Hmm huh, what´s the matter?" She asked, still half asleep.

"Time to wake up Sarada-Chan!" I said softly.

"Huh Bolt, what are you doing in my room, how did you even get in here and…..?

Wait, where the hell am I,I-I don´t think that's my room, isn´t it?" She asked sleepy, after finally deciding to wake up, she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, while she looked around.

"Wait, but of course…!" She shouted, being suddenly wide awake.

"Oh no, now I know it again, you fell unconscious and then we brought your home and then….!" She stopped dead in her tracking, blushing deep red.

"And then?" I asked confused and curious.

"Nothing, it´s nothing really!" sghe stated blushing deep red, just what happened when I was unconscious.

"Oh gosh, I must have fallen asleep on you, while I actually should care about you, i´m very sorry!" She said, blushing in embarrassment.

"Naaw no problem, it was cute, somehow!" I said and she blushed even more.

"Wait just a second, did you just said, I went unconscious, but how?" I asked her, only now reciting what she actually had said.

"Don´t you remember anything?" She asked me worried.

"No not really, I still know that some enemies attacked and that mom was hurt and… wait mom, what´s with her, is she alright?" I asked her fearfully, trying to get up.

"Relax everything is alright, we all are unhurt, thanks to you!" Sarada replied, pushing me back on her lap.

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked.

"I saw her dying, don´t tell me that was a Genjutsu!" I said confused and worried.

"Don´t you remember anything?" Sarada asked me worriedly.

"Not clearly, why, what happened Sarada, c´mon tell me please!" I demanded and she nodded.

"You travelled back in time to warn us about the attack, this way no one had been hurt, don´t worry we are all alright!" She stated with an honest voice.

"Really, geez then I am glad, wait what about the attackers?" I asked her, trying yet again to get up.

"I said relax, your father caught one and they are probably have interrogated him all night and… waaah wait, it´s already morning, Mom and Dad will be worried sick!" Sarada suddenly said, panicking.

"I must go home, i´m sorry!" She shouted before she abruptly stood up, completely forgetting that I still had my head on her lap.

Useless to say, that I hit the ground rather hard.

"Uaaaah, ooww, geez give me a break, its early in the morning, I wouldn´t feel good when you go so easily without a guard, especially after what happened yesterday!" I said to her, as she stopped dead in her tracks.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked me confused, I think she still was more or less asleep or just completely confused.

"I mean that there´s probably no soul out there, at least not this early!" I continued, as I stood up, being robbed of my comfy pillow.

"Shoot you are right!" Sarada said, thinking about it.

"Then you come with me!" She said with determination, grabbing my arm.

"Can I please dress before that?" I asked, as she was about to drag me out of the room, I was only dressed in my sweaty clothes from yesterday, as I just noticed, I smelled like crap.

"Waaah, eh, of course sorry!" She said, before she let go of me

We walked upstairs and she patiently sat herself on my bed, face flushed.

"Geez, so energetic already in the morning!" I mumbled, as I went in the bathroom, washed myself, went to the toilet and got dressed.

"Alright, i´m all set to go and…!" I said, as I went out of the bathroom after a while, fully dressed of course.

I stopped in the door, as I saw that Sarada was back to being fast asleep, lying on my bed, somehow this was the cutest and loveliest sight I ever saw, when she free from all pain and loneliness, could sleep peacefully.

Still now it made me also a tiny bit jealous.

"Sigh, haha, why did I even care to wake up, if you just keep on falling asleep?" I asked myself sweat dropping, as I gently sat myself next to her.

Looking at her, I once again had to witness, that she was so breathtakingly beautiful, I though never had the guts to tell her.

I took her head in my lap, and began to caressing her hair as if it were a cat, she murmured something unheard in her sleep, before curling up nearer to me.

"Does she sleep?" I heard it coming from behind the separation wall.

"Yeah she does, did we woke you?" I asked, as Himawari appeared behind it.

"Naaaw, I was already awake, she was up till late, after I woke her the first time, I heard her speaking about all kind of things to you, even though she knew you were unconscious!" Hima-chan said.

"Actually I was the whole time awake, before I fell asleep again!" I said honestly, blushing and crawling my back head.

"Why didn´t you said so?" She asked me confused.

"I like her voice, especially when she softly speaks with me, rather than her usual harsh and cold tone!" I replied and she nodded in understanding.

"Do you like Sarada?" Himawari asked me curious.

"Woaaah, what are you…!" I tried but was harshly interrupted.

"Bolt, I am not blind, stop holding me for being dumb and oblivious about it, I think the only one that cannot see it yet are you two, so quit playing games and just tell me already!" Himawari said annoyed and I sighed.

She was right, somehow.

"Well, I guess I like her, very much to be honest, yeah, maybe a little, tiny bit of pre-love feelings are mixed within, but for now I would be more than glad to keep the relationship we have, without it changing.

Or at least until the day or the point in our life comes, where we truly can tell, that it´s actually mutual love what we feel and not a mere crush or being attracted towards each other, only because we are so close to each other!" I told Himawari, while I kept on stroking Sarada´s hair, little I knew she was not fully asleep and could hear anything I was saying, more or less.

"How does it even come, that you too like each other so much, I never understood that, even though I liked it.

I mean you two bicker around, most of the time, you are also completely different poled, from as much as I have seen in the years since I know her!" Himawari said, tilting her head in thought and confusion.

"I guess, it´s because I was her very first friend, back in elementary school, you see, still today the name Uchiha is not everywhere liked to be heard.

I guess that's mostly because of the war, since the people still know that it were Two Uchihas, coming from Konohagakure, who had started the war, Madara and Obito Uchiha.

It is even said, that the Clan is cursed and since Sasuke was the last of this Clan, the people seemed to always fear that he would go mad just like them.

I honestly have to say, from what I heard from the adults, including Sasuke-san himself, as well as from Dad, was he, even though he helped to end the last war, far away from the fame.

He should even have helped, at some point to even start the war, but wherever this is the truth or not, does not matter to me.

Father never said a bad word against him; if he was insulted, Dad always defended him against the badmouthing, no matter what.

I felt the same way, and I mean it´s not like you fear or dislike Katsuo, not?" I asked her.

"No, of course not, why should I, he´s really nice!" Himawari said to me.

"Exactly, for Dad Mr. Uchiha was as near to his heart as maybe only a born brother can be.

And I feel for Sarada deeply, I want her to be safe and to know that i´m always there for her, if that is what means to be in love with her, then I shall be damned if I am not!" I said with honest voice, my gaze never leaving the sleeping Sarada.

"Nii-san!" Himawari said with shining eyes and a bright smile.

"Anyways I came far of the topic.

Where was I, ah yes, well since Sarada was an Uchiha, people had many prejudice against her.

So as Sarada came in the Kindergarten, all Parents instantly tried to keep their children away from her, because of the worse rumours which were spread, she was practically isolated from the beginning.

Everyone avoided her or made fun of her, and even hurt her to a certain point, out of nothing but cruelness and prejudice.

They then made fun when she cried, teasing her to the blood, more than often she snapped and punched the boys and girls, the kids then huddled together to go against her, however I always said everything to the teachers, so they could not get her often.

Unfortunately did even the teachers, at some point, not wanted to have anything to do with her, this way she grew up rather isolated, lonely and kind of embittered.

I was in another class, so I could not help her as much as I would have liked to, she seemed to be powerless, when she was alone under wolves so to say.

Even in the pause I saw how she sat in solitude at the balance, while she was watched with glances, as if she had the pest.

I never knew her very well to that time, for she never really spoke with me, I only knew that she was the daughter of my Dad´s friend and that he asked me to look a bit out for her, as best as I could without getting in trouble myself.

I felt sorry for her, being so fully isolated, I tried to speak with her class comrades, but they didn´t listened to me, they kept on laughing at me and they just kept on going, as I said, the teachers were mostly no help at all.

It was in the first year of elementary school, as I came in the same class like her, while I went instantly along with everyone, she mostly stayed for herself, soon being fully isolated again.

I knew that this time I had to help her, however didn´t I knew how, nor how deep she already has been sunken in the sea of loneliness.

In the class she was known as the lonely wolf and after a while the first mobbing attacks started and soon the whole class began to mob her, just as in those years before!" I continued to tell.

"How awful, the whole Class against her, the poor Sarada… wait but that would count you in too, not, you said the whole Class!" Himawari asked fearfully.

"Did I said the whole class, well it was right, mostly, we had a teacher who didn´t cared about her state at all, no one seemed to do so, well beside of one person, one single boy, who saw her the way she really was and tried to befriend her, help her, tried to show her that he cared, no matter what!" I told Hima-chan.

"Do you know who that boy had been?" I asked cryptically.

"That was you, not?" She asked me with shining eyes and a smile.

"Yes pretty much, I don´t want you now to see me as a shining hero though, who instantly managed to break a whole into her walls, no, it was way more difficult than that.

It was more like a giant hall, fully bathed in darkness… one first had to search for the walls to break, so to say.

While everyone avoided her, I tried my best to get to know her, but thanks to being shunned by practically the whole school, she became a true shut-in, staying for her own, hidden behind her walls most of the time, trying to go out of the way of every possible fight, less any possible conversation at all.

She went often in the bibliotheca to peacefully read, I think the librarian there, was her only constant caregiver in the school, however the woman was not from this village, but only came in the second year in our school.

So one cannot really be sure, if she too would have cared about Sarada, if she would have been there from the beginning on, but still, she gave her more care, than anyone else of the adults, in the years before.

Well beside of me who tried desperately to befriend her, but she trusted me not at all and therefore ignored me, most of the time, or she snapped at me that I shall get lost and leave her in peace.

I think that she had bad experiences before I truly met her the first time, experiences which let her refuse to trust every one, beside of her parents and that Librarian!" I said, as I thought about it.

"I had once a friend!" It suddenly came from my lap, a voice pained, yet softly, as if she remembered something.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked, afraid of having hit a critical hit.

"A while!" She only replied, I looked at her, to see tears in her eyes.

"I´m sorry I shouldn´t have revive the past, especially when you are so close to listen and when I know that it will hurt you!" I said to her, laying my forehead on hers, she touched my cheek with her hand.

"No fear, I am not mad!" She said, while I looked into her eyes, black like coal, yet peacefully like deep water.

"It was not really my intention to blurt all these hurtful memories out, nor, as I said, didn´t I wanted to be seen by anyone as the hero of the hour, or that I only did it because my dad asked me to do it.

I did it because it was my own will, my own desire to help you, you got to believe me, Sarada!" I said to her and I felt how she nuzzled towards me, she sat up and laid her head on my chest.

I was kind of buff to see her being so affectionate, still, I had to admit, that I liked it, more than I probably should, especially right now, when tears were falling from her eyes.

"It´s okay, I think she deserves to know how much you helped me, also how much I have to owe you!" Sarada said, while I kept on continuing to stroke her hair.

"You don´t owe me anything, if by any means I owe you more than I can count, whenever I got hurt, it was you that helped me out, I think I never really repaid you!" I said, but she silenced me with a finger to my lips, I kissed it and she blushed cutely.

"Hey you lovebirds, you are trailing off, I know it hurts you both, but now that you started you can´t really keep me hanging, can´t you!" Himawari pouted.

"Yeah right, where was I, umm, uhhhmmm!?" I tried to remember but suddenly I heard her voice, speaking softly but I could feel and hear the inner pain out of it, it ripped my heart in shreds.

"Once in the Kindergarten came a newbie in our class, she was very popular, for her kindness and friendliness, from the very first moment on she befriended everyone, and as she came to me to befriend me, the others said that she better shouldn´t get involved with me.

Asking why, they said that I was cursed, and that if she don´t want to be hated, she should just avoid me like everyone else.

However she was thinking nothing of it, she did managed to befriend me at some point.

I was glad to have a friend, but as I latter had to see wasn´t I even able to hold one friend, to defend her from the others kids in our class.

Our friendship was a thorn in their eyes, so it seemed.

Shortly after we befriended, they began to tease her and call her names, she got mobbed with me and the more they mobbed us, the more she got angry with me.

Until she one day told me with tears, to never come near her again, I never got to know why but I guess it was all too much for her, from that day on she spoke no word to me anymore, in the second year of Kindergarten, I heard that she had changed the schools and so I lost my very first friend, the friendship forever that we had sworn was suddenly not more than lies.

I never saw her again!" Sarada told us.

"This is so awful, why were they so cruel to you, I mean, it´s not like you are cursed or mean at all, no one of them knew how you really were!" Himawari said with tears in her eyes and got her hair ruffled by Sarada.

"Prejudice my dear, even I have it at some point, but still, it can become something really ugly, if excessively lived out.

After these days of pain and sorrow, I had real trust issues and became, as from your brother described, a true shut in, reserved and whimsy girl, not only at school, but even at home.

Thinking that everyone were just liars and cheaters on friendship, that everyone was just trying to hurt me even more.

So, as your brother came to me and tried to befriend me, I thought that it just would work the way it worked with my once best friend.

That's why I ignored him for 2 years straight!" Sarada said and I nodded with a pained smile.

"It was really hard to show her that I was not joking in my words and that I really meant, what I was saying!" I stated.

"Yes you are right Bolt, I thought you too would be only joking, but different from the rest of the class that instead ignored me too, he just kept on asking me questions, annoying me to no end, keeping me away from my peace and my books.

One day I had enough and snapped at him, more than I ever did before, but instead of being angry, do you know what he did?" Sarada asked Himawari.

"No, what?" The little curious girl asked but also trembled in excitement.

"He laughed, he laughed and smiled and said that he was glad that I finally answered, that he feared to actually have gone mute, without him knowing, and that everyone were just faking to hear what he was saying.

At this moment I had to laugh out loud, I couldn´t anymore, I laughed harder than I ever did in my life, it was no hateful or false laugh, no it was an heartfelt laugh.

It was the most stupid thing I ever heard, for he talked constantly, texting me full with whatever came in his mind.

I think it was the first time in years that I laughed out loud, logically did everyone looked at me, and though I completely had lost my mind.

He smiled on me and introduced him, it was the first time I really listened to him, I recognized that he actually was my Neighbour and the son of my Fathers best friend, I lived practically all my life next to him, but never recognized him, while he did all his life long.

Afterwards, I began to stalk your brother!" Sarada said blushing.

"Wait you stalked him/me?" Himawari asked curious, same as me, I never knew nor did I recognized it.

"Yeah, the more he spoke with me, and the more he smiled, the more the craving grew, in which I wanted to get to know who and how he actually was, so I began to stalk him, also after we finally decide to become ninjas and even ended up in the same class, together with some of his true friends.

On these days I found out about the lack of attention from his father, same as I did, I also found out that he never met one of the friends at school beside of his true friends, he always made excuses to our classmates but them four.

Whenever I met him, he greeted me normally, looked at me and spoke with me.

I thought it was too good to be true and after a month I brushed it the next day off as a simple extra-long and weird daydream of mine or a mood-swing of him!" She continued.

"But it was none!" Himawari stated knowingly.

"Indeed but I just kept on believing it thought, as I said I had worse experiences before that day, I though he too would leave me alone, well until I came in the class, as soon as Bolt spotted me he came up to me and held his hand up for a High-five, I was completely baffled by this, but greeted back.

I was buff, he was actually looking in my eyes, without shifting his gaze, he touched my hands, without making a false grimace or shuddering, he was pure, purer as the brightest diamond, and he was the light I frequently, in secret, had searched for so long.

In the Big Break he held me a place free in the cantina as everything was full; you know, usually I had a table where I sat, all alone in solitude, the whole two years long, never I saw anyone sitting at the same place!" She said and let her head hanging.

But it instantly grew a smile on her face, her tears stopped and her cheeks became a rosy tone.

"However, ever since this month, Bolt insisted that I should sit with him and his clique on one table, it were all kids from different classes, who had nothing else in common, despite of the fact that their parents where friends who knew each other since their own childhood.

Beside of the fact that I knew close to no one in Bolts clique, they all took me in rather quickly and without a prejudice.

I was most thankful for this.

To that time only, Chouchou was missing until some years afterwards, she was the second last to enter, right before Senpou.

The only thing Bolt and his clique had in common, was the fact that they all wanted to become Ninjas and that they all could get along more or less with each other's, not many scholars of the school had the same wish of becoming Ninjas!" Sarada explained.

"As you know has the School system changed ever since the moon-fall case had ended, there was the Traditional Ninja Academy for those who wanted instantly to become Shinobi and there was the normal elementary school one had obligatory to attend at the age of 5 years, the school could be followed further for those who were unsure of what to do after their Graduation.

After the first two years in the elementary school, at the age of 7, one was allowed to attend the Ninja Academy, and one had 3 years of lessons until the age of 10, then one could take the test to become a Genin for the first time!" Sarada explained and Himawari nodded.

"Anyways, as I said even though I was an Uchiha, they accepted me instantly as one of them in their group, and ever since then, I had true friends, friends who cared about me and cared a shit about what other people and students thought about them.

In this group of outsiders, I was able to be as I really wanted to be and not to remain silent all the time, if I didn´t liked something I could openly told them, without being shunned for it or being suddenly avoided, they accepted it and bore it in mind.

As I said, at first it were only Bolt, Shikadai, Inojin and me, with the first years at the Academy, Chouchou and later also Senpou entered.

Both having gone through similar things as me, to be honest they all had been gone through hard times, most of their lives.

Inojin was often teased thanks to his almost unnatural pale skin, which lacked the pigmentation, through his genes, thanks for his father to live most of his life in the underground in the Anbu-ne.

He often was called Vampire or Alien, for he didn´t really like the light of the sun that much, for he easily got a sunburn, thanks to the lack of pigments.

It was Bolt that asked my mother to create a sun lotion for him, which could completely block the UV-rays, just like sunglasses.

Also many people though he was gay, since he had a girlish side, for his parents loved either flowers or to draw.

It was Bolt that discovered his true personality, that he was very manly in his own way, also that actually he was a really nice boy, even though he had a foul mouth at times.

He had this crass and sometimes annoying tick, of stating whatever he thought about, out loud, even though he knew the consequences very well.

He was, as much as I know, Bolts first true friend!" Sarada said and looked at me.

"Yeah kind of, I mean at least he was honest with me, that I always could be sure of!" I stated.

"Others always tried to sweeten their words for me, even though I could care less about their shit, Inojin was the only one to speak clearly and without a lie with me, that's however only one thing I like on him as much as it annoys me sometimes.

The second thing is that he has good eyes, he sees things other cannot see, that's also why he draws so well, if he would have become an artist he would be quite prominent by now, that I am sure of as well!" I explained and both, Himawari and Sarada nodded.

"Well then came Shikadai.

Shikadai was the exact opposite of Bolt and Inojin, lazy and annoying to no end in it, whenever they had to do something in the group, everyone avoided to come with him in one group, for he mostly was so annoyed that he either slept through it, or had already done everything, letting the others doing all things left to do, like cleaning tables or rearranging the material.

He had no motivation at all, no real drive, and many suspected that he simply was dumb, maybe fallen on the head as a baby, still, he was the smartest of us all, as smart as his father and his grandfather; as long as it wasn´t too troublesome for him, he would do whatever it takes to accomplish a goal.

Bolt, though not as smart as Shikadai was his constant opponent in Chess, whenever both found the time or the drive to play.

Them both, are like your father and Shikadai´s father together, the Smart and the Strong!" Sarada told and I nodded again.

"I only managed to beat him 10 times, out of 100 plays, he is an extremely good and quick strategist and his plans, set or mustered up in seconds, often saved our asses on mission.

A test said that his IQ is even higher than his fathers, he really is the man with the head, while I am the man for the rough things!" I said smiling and I could see Sarada blushing and scanning me off.

So long until her eyes met mine, then she gazed aside and blushed even more, which in return made me blushing.

"Hello, the next one please, how did Senpou and Chouchou got in?" Himawari asked, annoyed for the many pauses.

"Ah yeah, well Chouchou was the next to enter, she was often, approximately as much as me, being teased and mobbed to the bone, for her weight and stature, as well as the fact that she was an Akimichi and half of a Kumogakure member.

Many families still held grudges, especially against Kumo, and Chouchou was the one who got it off the most.

Same as many people still are holding grudges against us Uchihas, in early years I was not even able to go in a supermarket without being watched by dirty looks, as long as I paid they didn´t said something, others even completely refused to let me in or buying something!" Sarada said and we nodded sadly, we all had seen such scenes in the past.

"Also had many children prejudices against her clan, that was always so and might unfortunately also always be that way!" She said and I nodded.

"I hate these prejudices, where everyone always thinks that other clans are more worth than others.

Personally, I think that each clan has their strengths and weaknesses and still are they all, what is making Konohagakure so strong.

People just cannot understand that being an Akimichi, an Uchiha, or even an Uzumaki is meaning to be strong in our own ways.

Both, the Clans of the Uzumakis and the Uchihas had almost being extinct, still we held on life, became strong to defend our friends, our families and our village.

Same as the Akimichi Clan, they might be not so thin or so famous and most people think of them as bothers in battle.

But actually they are true trump cards, they are fierce and they are strong, stronger than most other clans.

But their greatest treat, is that they are all mighty friendly, I cannot count any of their members who hasn´t helped someone in need out at some point, and they cook food, which is delicious to no end!" I said and they both nodded.

"There you speak a true word, anyways where was I, ah yeah.

It was Shikadai that helped her through these times the most, as much as I know and he was also the one who brought her in the group, I think this was also the reason why she fell in love with him!" Sarada stated, but this was new to me.

"Wait she fell in love, wow, sure I knew she liked him, for he was her first friend right before Himawari and I got to know her, but still, well it though also doesn't really surprises me!" I said while Himawari had such a strange glance at me, as if she would say something, but decided to gulp it down.

"And how has Senpou got in?" She asked instead.

"Well Senpou… well you know her, she was strong and fierce but not really fond in Ninjutsu, not that she completely was unable to do it, mind you.

But thanks to her early senseis, Gai-sensei and her father Lee-san, she was very well known in Taijutsu, her greatest trump, still even today many people have the dumb prejudice, that a Ninja without Ninjutsu isn´t a really Ninja.

This hurt her pride, more than once.

Also she was called a tomboy, because of being so strong and the bob cut hair, however she had as much of a boy as I do.

People always made fun of her because she wasn´t truly girly like, she constantly trained to become stronger and faster, still she as her own girlish sides and moments.

However as she was young no one truly gave her any credit but her parents and Gai-sensei, so long until she met Bolt.

He told her that he liked her Taijutsu and her fierce and strong will, on the question of why he does not looks down on her, like all the others, he told her that his father never looked down on Lee-san, but that he even admired him and that he was also a tiny bit jealous about his skills and unbreakable will.

Bolt told her that it doesn't matter wherever one can Ninjutsu well or not, that the will to endure all Hardship to become a ninja nevertheless, was what was counting in the end.

This way Senpou was able to train herself and her Taijutsu to the max, and she even managed to make the test, especially made for the Taijutsu experts, which has been created by her own Father and Bolts father, as he just had become the Hokage.

Since that day, Senpou almost loves the Hokage, since he even went to Congratulate her for her endurance and her succeeding in the test, as the very first one to take, he told her that he knew two peoples, during his current life, who were masters of Taijutsu, and that Senpou had the potential to overthrow them both, these words encouraged her to give her 200% every day!" Sarada explained.

"I have no real evidence but I am sure that your brother had his finger in this test too, don´t you Bolt?" She asked me with a smug grin.

"Maybe!" I only answered, faking ignorance.

"All in all, ever since I really got to know your brother, I became a bunch of friends and I was able to live the life to the fullest, together we then decided to become ninjas, just like our parents had been, luckily we all came in one class!" Sarada told.

"So in a way, Nii-san was the hero in all of your darkest days, your all anchor in a sea of Loneliness, your all Knight in shining armour!" Hima-chan said and we both blushed deep crimson.

"You could say so, all I know is that most of us owe Bolt the friendship we are living in right now!" Sarada replied, face flushed, looking aside, but wearing a cute smile.

"The boy who was the entire opposite of me, helped me and others, to leave the shadow of our own past and loneliness and practically dragged us into the light, into true friendship, just like your Father did with my father and many other people, former being enemies!" Sarada said with admiration.

Suddenly she shrieked up.

"By the way, we have to go!" She said to me, as she remembered why we even woke up, she wanted to jump up and haste for the room door, as Himawari called out on her.

"Woaaah easy, what´s the matter, Sarada, why so stormy?" Hima asked.

"She forgot to tell her parent´s, that she´s here!" I said to her, while she tilted her head in bright confusion.

"Huh what, Sarada did you forgot that you actually even asked your mother, so you could stay at Nii-sans side?" Hima-chan asked.

"Wait what, I did?" Sarada asked dumbfounded, blushing deep crimson.

"Yeah, you begged my mom and she said that you may come with us, if your mom would be okay with it, your Mom even brought you clothes for changing yesterday evening!" Hima said, gesturing to a box and Sarada was confused.

"How can I forget something like that?" She asked herself, as she sat herself back on the bed next to me.

"Anyways what shall we now do, since we are already awoken, as you know, we have only a month preparation, however I for myself don´t really have any drive to train, at least not today, I feel a tiny bit nausea anyways!"

"Well then we better get all the others together, don´t you think so!" Sarada stated, as she rose from my lap.

"I don´t think so, as I know Inojin and Senpou both are definitely training, and Chouchou or Shikadai, god alone knows what they are doing, and still we all had decided to focus on tag-team training anyways, means each tag team is training for themselves, until the big day!" I said.

"I see, you are right, guess this month is only us then!" Sarada said, before she blushed deep red as she just recognized what she said.

"Well, there is still the Starlight festival, at the end of the Month, we could go all together, or each team for themselves, what do you think!" I asked, however Sarada was in her own world already.

"Uhmm, Sarada?!" I asked dumbfounded.

Sarada´s Pov:

"The Starlight Festival!" I said blushing deep crimson, my mind was trailing far, far way in the past.

To a memory which was both, rather unpleasant, yet as sweet as sugar, a memory which showed how heroic Bolt truly could be, more with words and gestures than in a fight.

It where memories of the very same day, in the Starlight Festival 2 years ago.

"Sarada, Sarada, Hey Sarada!" I suddenly heard a voice, which ripped me out of my memories, which sunk back in the darkness of my consciousness.

"Huh?" I asked, looking up to see Bolt with a worried Glance.

"Are you alright?" He asked concerned.

Always he was concerned and worried about us, sad when we felt unhappy, when we were hurt, no matter how much he was for himself, it was a characteristic to kneel before.

"Yeah i…. Groooaaaarrrhhh!" I was interrupted by a loud grumbling of our stomachs.

"I guess we are all a little hungry since yesterday was again so hasty, so first things first, let´s have some breakfast!" Himawari said.

"Alright, Operation Breakfast, start!" Bolt said happily, as he rushed down the stairs towards the Kitchen, to prepare the Breakfast.

This month was bound to be good, I just knew it.

"Wait I have first to dress and wash myself!" I said as I rushed inside, carefully locking the door.

I don´t really wish for a scene like 4 months ago.

"Well I also cannot say that I didn´t enjoyed these few seconds!" I thought, as I remembered Bolt´s half naked body, as he was coming out of the douche and wanted to use the toilet, while I was washing myself, half naked as well.

I think he lost more blood, by the nosebleed he suffered, than by the punches I gave him.

"A whole Month, Bolt and me, alone!" I mumbled, near daydreaming, as I was walking out of the bathroom, fully dressed and combed.

I made my way downstairs, Bolt already had rushed down.

"Don´t you get too cocky, young girl, don´t do what I wouldn´t do!" I heard Himawari´s voice whispering in my ears.

"Waaah I would never… wait who are you calling a Young girl here, you are way younger!" I said to her but she only smiled with a big one and ran down the stairs.

"Hey, I speak with you, and what did you mean, with saying, don´t do what you will be doing, you are only 14 goddammit, what are you doing with my Brother, when the two of you are alone!" I shouted, running after her while she was laughing.

And so the first day of the month, with Bolt alone, began.

Part II: The Month between- Side Akinara: Memories of the Cloud-gazers and a Chip´s-bag full of love.

Chouchou´s Pov:

It has been 5 days since the Training-month had begun.

Ever since, Shikadai and I were constantly training, but today we both wanted to take a break from hard work, just to lay down, open up a chips bag, or two, and watch the clouds moving.

I was waiting for him, for he still had to help his mother cleaning the house.

I was lying in the grass, letting the summer sun shining on me.

I admired this place, for it was a quiet one, only since I met Shikadai the first time, I got to know that this was a piece of the Nara Clan´s Forest, but he gave me the permission to come here at any time.

Even after many years, this place still looked the same as always.

It was a hill, a bit outside of Konohagakure, hidden by a Waterfall, cliffs and forests, a place where no one ever came along, beside of the animals, mostly deers, me and Shikadai.

One could overlook whole Konohagakure from here, and so also the rest of its Surrounding.

I still remember how I once found this place, it was as I was only 8 years old, I was constantly mobbed due to my weight and my constant hunger for something to eat.

So I one day, as it was all too much to bear anymore, I ran away from the village, eyes filled with tears, I was not looking where I ran, I simply ran wherever my feet would bring me.

It was not easy to be an Akimichi, since we have the hunger in our genes, so to say.

People always kept on making fun about my Clan, that all of us were fat and slow, logically was I to that time not able to hold much of these insults out, before I either snapped or run away crying.

It was to one of these days, as I met Shikadai the very first time, outside of school, even though I knew that our parents were good friends, did I never really cared about him.

I was known in my Clan for mostly staying for myself, trying my best to make me invisible, even in class.

Unfortunately didn't I quite fitted that role, I was fat to say the least, fat and Black, and that seemed to be reason enough for the other children to tease me to the blood.

More than once I was running away crying, and somehow I always found myself back here.

On one of these days I was found by Shikadai, lying here, watching the clouds, while crying all the tears left to cry, and musing about ending my life and so all the pain I felt in my heart.

At first I was embarrassed that he saw me crying, I tried always my best to remain cool about the mobbing and only to cry here.

I also didn´t quite know what to think of him, he never was someone to mob me, but he also never seemed to care about anything anyways, he mostly slept during lessons, even during Lunch.

But this day I should get to know, a side of him I never saw before, I should get to know, what for a mighty cool guy he actually was.

Flashback, 8 years ago:

It has happened again, I had been run away from the village, and ended up here, on my favourite place.

Mobbed and teased, being spat on and splashed with mud, the school truly was a hell, to say the least.

I always had been the outsider, ever since my birth I didn´t fit in this village at all.

"Why, why is there no one helping me, dammit, it´s not my fault that I am always hungry, I cannot change the fact that I am Black and that I am a half Kumo.

Why don´t they get that in their cement heads, I am who I am and I cannot change this fact, why do they still have to mob me, tease me to the bone, why are they so mean with me, I never did something to say.

Tell me, someone, anyone, tell me why no one cares?" I whined, as I looked up in the sky, the tears just kept on flowing endlessly.

"Grandpa, is it right to just suck things up, no matter how angry I get with them, they just keep on going until the tears come.

Am I really too fat, am I just the blob of the Class as they say, shouldn´t I rather give up on my wish to become a Ninja, I mean I will be a bother on the battlefield to anyone anyways not, I am just a fat girl, I have no skills to ever be as great as you, not, just give me a sign, if I shall be false in this.

If I shall not give up, either on life or on my dream, please show me a sign, show me one person that cares about me, more than my parents!" I shouted towards the heaven.

I always loved the histories of my Grandfather, Choza Akimichi, he was a fierce and powerfull Ninja of our clan, it was my wish to become as outstanding as he was.

But as it looked like, this dream would never be fulfilled, I was fat, slow and not agile, I had no special skills and whenever I tried to defend myself I ended up being shunned for it, if I tried to fight back they came on masses.

My teachers were all dicks, one even laughed at me, stating that if I get mobbed and pinched I just had to run faster, if possible.

After this this dick burst in laughter, I then punched his guts out in rage, getting myself in big trouble, I was inches of being thrown from the school, this was not even a week ago to be honest.

For someone who looks from afar, I might look like someone who is simply is watching the clouds, that I cry, no one would ever know, it would just go like every day.

I would go home late, then mom would scold me for being too late to eat, I would say I have no appetite and go back in my room, where I just keep on crying in my pillow and eating all the sweets my dad has buy me from other lands.

"And I just would go on becoming fatter and fatter, so that everyone just keeps on mobbing me… it's not like I simply, from one day to another, can stop eating, I love food, and I love it to eat, more than I should!" I said sorrowfully, to be honest I hated my life, more than everything.

And I hated the fact to be an Akimichi, not because of the name, but the reputation and the constant hunger, due to my genetics, if I look right, beside of mom no one is slim in my Clan, even I am fatter than her already.

"I think I might as well vanish forever, beside of mom and dad and a few others, no one would really care a shit anyways, it´s not like I have friends, it´s not like anybody would miss me afterwards!" I said to myself.

I had often plaid with the thought of ending all the pain, what was the matter to growing up teased and mobbed for something I couldn´t change, why was I the only one without friends, why was I being outcast by them.

"Am I really too fat?" I asked, as I looked at my belly, I admit I was chubby, like really, really chubby, but it actually never had bothered me personally, at least not before all of this began, so I still couldn´t understand why people just kept on going over it.

Maybe it´s because my mom was a Kumo-ninja, or the fact that I was black, somehow there are enough reasons for people to hate me.

"The whole world is against me, I think it is definitely better to die and being reborn, as something beautiful, something different, than letting things staying as they are!" I mumbled, as I took out the kunai from mom, I had stolen from her.

"One slice, one quick sting, a little blood and anything has an end!" I said, as I was about to slice up my artery.

"Okay, now, you can do that, don´t hesitate, if you want all the pain to be gone, just do it Chouchou, one quick slice and the pain will fade away!" I said to myself, gulping, to build up the courage to do it.

Honestly, no matter how often I told it to me, I was anything but ready to die, still I also didn´t wanted to keep on living like this.

"Are you a women or a mouse, do it!" I yelled at myself, the coldness of the blade was to feel already at my skin, all I needed to do is to slice.

One quick pull over my wrist and the pain ends and will fade into darkness.

"Alright, alright, now, Chouchou, do it, do it, DO IT…. Let´s go!" I screamed, as I began to slice slowly, I felt the pain and the blood running, I only had begun as suddenly I was not able to move anymore.

"What the heck…?" I asked, as I recognized that I was completely paralyzed.

"Nnngggn, ngggnn!" I tried my best to move, to slice my wrist and to end it.

However I couldn´t, even worse, I recognized how an invisible force began to drag the kunai away from my wrist, by my own hand lifting up, I recognized that it was about to throw the kunai away, over the cliff.

"Haaaah, haaa!" I heard the wheezing of someone, who seemed to stand behind me, I hadn´t even recognized anybody near me.

"Who is there?!" I shouted demanding to know.

"Geeez, how troublesome, I was coming to shill a bit, I didn´t expected to have to keep someone from killing himself!" I heard the unmistakable lazy slang of no one else but Shikadai Nara.

"What are you doing, let go of me!" I said, now also recognizing what was stopping me.

It was the Nara-Clan´s Kagemane no jutsu.

"Haaaa, as if I let you kill yourself, especially here on my favourite chill-out place, I would get killed by dad, if I ever would leave a fellow comrade in misery!" he said.

"Haaa, as if you know anything about me and my misery, you never cared a shit about me, so why now!?" I said, pushing the Kunai back to my wrist, with all might and force I could bring up, the power he used to hold against was incredible though.

"Well I never knew you would cry your eyes out, you always looked so strong, sucking everything up as if you couldn´t care less about what others are saying.

Yet you are sitting up here crying, showing a side no one knows, and even attempt to kill yourself, which way do you think, I should react then, huh.

Of course I will keep you from doing it.

If there is any chance to help you, then it´s my duty to help you!" Shikadai said.

"Your duty, well I didn´t asked you for it, just leave me alone, I don´t want to live this way anymore!" I shouted at him in anger.

"Ever thought of changing your life then, rather than ending it?" he asked me, while he kept on pushing my hand away from the wrist.

"As if I didn´t tried, how many times do you think I tried to hold a diet, or to change my look, but nothing, I cannot keep myself from eating, and I look like I do, I cannot change much about that.

DON´T YOU THINK I DIDN´T TRIED MY BEST TO CHANGE MYSELF; SO I MIGHT SOMEDAY GET ACCEPTED BY SOMEONE; BUT NEVER; NEVER SOMEONE COMPLIMENTED ME ON IT; EVERYBODY JUST KEEPS ON BOSSING ME AROUND; MOBBING ME BECAUSE I AM FAT AND BLACK.

ALL I CAN DO IS PRETENDING TO NOT CARE A SHIT; EVEN THOUGH I JUST WANT TO KILL THEM ALL; ALWAYS I GOT TOLD THAT I SHALL NOT FIGHT; THAT I SHALL NOT PUNCH OR HURT SOMEONE; OR GET IN TROUBLE.

BUT THERE IS NO ONE, WHO EVEN TRIES TO HELP ME; WHEN I GET HURT!" I screamed, breaking in tears yet again, it was more words spoken between us than ever before.

Beside of good morning and good evening, we never had spoken much with each other, so this could be considered, as the very first real conservation between us.

"Why didn´t you ever said something?" Shikadai asked.

"As if such things need words, you have to see it, dammit, you are in the same class like me, and you never saw how I suffered?

Which fucking right do you have, to even try to stop me then, huh?" I screamed at him, as his force began to weaken.

"Dammit, no I won´t let you end your life here, Dad told me to look out for you, I find it troublesome, I mean a women should be strong enough to stand for herself, at least that´s what mom always says to Dad!" Shikadai said; through gritted teethes.

"Well this might count for your mother; Nara, but not for me!" I shouted, as I tried again to get closer to my wrist.

"Dammit, my chakra fades, I cannot keep it up any longer!" I heard him wheezing hardly.

"Stop trying to save me, you don´t need to play the hero for anyone, just let me die!" I whined, starting to cry again, the more he tried to stop me, the more my decision to end my life faded away.

I began to think about it, if his words are not right, goddammit.

"No, I cannot give up on this, there is nothing left of worth, what shall I do, why shall I keep living in this hell?" I shouted with a pained heart, as all the memories of my inner pain broke to the surface.

All the mobbing, all the mean names, all the mud balls and water bombs that hit me, all the stones that crashed at me, only for being half of a Kumo ninja.

All the bad glances I felt and saw directed at me, all the time I wanted to fight but was not allowed to.

All the years of pain and tears, where no one cared about it, where even the Teachers looked away.

All the times I tried to change something and all the times I failed on it.

"No one likes me, no one recognizes my efforts, no one cares if I am happy or unhappy, and everyone always calls me mean names and look at me as if I have the pest, why do they think I am anything less than them, because I am Black, because I am fat, because I am half of a Kumo-ninja?

I know I am not beautiful, I know I am just the blob to them all, and I know I am too slow and too fat to be a ninja as Grandfather has been!" I cried bitterly, still trying to push, but with less force than before.

"This is not true, you are beautiful!" Shikadai shouted.

"Stop lying, I don´t need your false words, they are like salt in my wound, stop paining me with the venom of your lies!" I screamed, wanting nothing more than becoming deaf and strong enough to end it.

But was it really what I wanted, didn´t I asked my Grandfather, more than often, to show me a sign, show me a person that might care about me, didn't I just asked minutes ago for the very same thing?

"I am not lying, I never had the guts to tell you, because you always seemed to be annoyed by me.

I admit I also was kind of afraid of you, you always were getting angry really quick, and you kept on breaking the noses of the boys, like twigs in a storm.

You kept on yelling with so much rude words around you and you more and more remembered me, on how my Mom is with my Dad.

I was scared, but nevertheless I found myself being drawn to you!" Shikadai shouted, over-toning my cries of sorrow.

"Why, why should someone like you fall in love with me, less liking someone like me?" I asked, but what I heard now, made me so buff that I lost any force to resist against his jutsu.

"Your smile, I love your smile!" he shouted loudly.

"What….., my, my, my smile, but, why, how, I never smiled before, nor in your company, how can you fall in love with my smile?!" I said dumbfounded, as I lost my entire force at once, the kunai flew right in the tree on the opposite side of the cliff.

"Whenever you look at the clouds you have such a pleased smile on your face, I saw it often in class, I used to sit always on the bench above yours.

Also, I have to admit, that my father told me to watch out a bit for you, so I did, I followed you around, on silent toes.

Whenever you came here I heard you crying, I felt worse to never have said something, but I also could see that you didn´t trusted other people so easily.

You yelled a lot at others, you had a hard punch and you seemed to be constantly angry, but whenever you came up here, you change to 360°, whenever you calmed you laid down and watched the clouds.

The expression, the smile of pure content of seeing the clouds floating freely in the sky, letting time passing and erasing the memories of the day so far, the smile you wore, was of the person, the Chouchou, I fell in love with.

The Chouchou that knows, that beside of the darkness in her life, there is always a dot of light in it, a dot worth to be watched!" Shikadai said, as he forced me to turn around, and to walk towards him.

"I once asked my father, why he had married my mom, even though they constantly bicker, fight and yell at each other.

He said that no matter how difficult a woman can be, each one has a smile, a pleased and carefree smile, which is worth to see, worth to endure all the hardship with them only for seeing it!" Shikadai said, before he stood right in front of me.

I was embarrassed, that he saw me crying, and that there was nothing I could do, for hiding it.

I blushed furiously, as he caressed my cheek, I recognized that he stopped his jutsu but I had no power to move away from him, au contraire, the more I looked at him, the more I was drawn to him.

"But I am fat!" I whined.

"So, I rather like girls who know the worth of food rather than eating and throwing up, only to hold their figure!" He said.

"But I am Black!" I tried yet again.

"So, that makes you standing out of the crowd, in a good way, we have too many pale-faces here in our town!" He said with a smile.

"But I am a half Kumo, people hate me!" I said.

"So, I am half Suna, people also hate me, it´s not like me or you being anything less than an full blood Konoha!" He stated caressing my cheek.

"Chouchou, I have watched you often and long enough to know that you have the heart on the right spot and that you are sensitive yet can be fierce as well, that's what I like on you, this and your beautiful smile!" Shikadai said and I blushed deep crimson.

"So basically you say you stalked me?" I asked baffled and blushing.

"I guess you can call it this way, not really freely in the beginning, I have to say, but also not quite unwillingly, since a while!" he answered honestly, blushing as well.

"I think I might came just in time, to prevent you from doing the world´s most stupid thing ever, did you even once though about how sad your mother, your father and the whole Akimichi clan would be, if you die.

Not to speak from me.

Not only for the fact, that they would lose their next heiress, but also a strong member, with a potential to becoming even greater than your Father and Grandfather!" Shikadai said, taking my hand which made me even redder.

"What I'm trying to say is…., wait,… is it that… dammit,… a-a-actually, I am not so fond with long speeches and difficult lectures, I just tell you what is clear.

I like you Chouchou, please don´t hurt yourself, less commit suicide, if you won´t do it for your own sake, please do it for mine and the one of your entire Clan, I beg you!" Shikadai said, looking deep in my eyes with his, where I saw true concern.

Only now I recognized, that it were the same eyes he always had watched me with, but also with a certain glance of admiration.

I blushed full of embarrassment for my own stupidity.

"To be honest, I didn´t really think I had the guts to do it anyways, I was really afraid of dying, but I thought that it would be the only way to end the suffering, I am most thankful that you kept me from doing it, I owe you big time, Shikadai!

Thank you so much!" I stated, wanting to bow, but instead was being embraced, I began to overheat.

"Naww, you don´t need to, you know, if only you promise to never do it again, then I am glad already.

I promise you I will be there for you, if you ever feel the need to cry again, feel free to come to me and drag me up here, I will gladly come with you!" he said and I nodded as I leaned my head against his chest.

"What do you say to this, we forget this whole thing here, all this suicide bullshit and go grab a bite at Ichiraku, I am quite hungry and I guess you too, not!?" Shikadai stated and only now I felt myself starving as well, which my stomach, as on call, had to signal with a low growl.

"Guess you truly are hungry as well, well then let´s go!" he said smiling, and I blushed, as he still was holding my hand.

Somehow he seemed to have shone brighter all of a sudden, as if he had a halo or something similar.

I guess I really starve some food, I already get hallucinations.

"Well then, here we go!" He said and he went forward, holding my hand.

"Grandfather, I thank you, so much, I will never try something so stupid again!" I thought, as I looked back up to the stars, who had begun shining, the sun was about to set down, to lay to rest.

It lasted a while before we entered the village, by early evening.

"Shikadai-kun!" We heard it from in front of us, calling from Ichiraku, right in front of the restaurant.

"Ah Bolt, good evening, and Himawari-chan is also here!" Shikadai said as we entered, he sat himself next to the blonde Boy with the whisker marks on his face, who sat next to a purplish-blue haired younger girl, with equal whisker marks and just the same blue eyes like the blonde boy.

"Who´s that for a beautiful girl at your side, perhaps your… you know?!" The Blonde boy said with a smug grin.

I blushed deep red, as he called me beautiful, beside of Shikadai, Mom, Dad and a few of the Akimichi kids, no one ever called me this way.

"Geez stop it will you, anyways, Bolt, Himawari, may I introduce, but I think you already know each other, this is Chouchou Akimichi, Chouchou these are Bolt and his little sister Himawari Uzumaki, friends of mine!" Shikadai said, and I was in awe.

I honestly never though, that I might ever make the acquaintance of the son and the daughter of our Hokage, less would I have thought that they ever would to hang out with us, the normal folk.

"Nice to meet you Chouchou-san!" Bolt and Himawari bowed politely, I was amazed by their manners.

"Nice to meet you too!" I said politely, bowing as well.

"Hah not so stiff, I tell you Chouchou, they might be the children of the Hokage but they are real troublemakers!" Shikadai stated chuckling.

"Aww stop flatting me you lazy smartass, you are as much of a troublemaker as me, after all, who has making the most plans for our mutual pranks, you of course, am I right Himawari?" Bolt-san said and his sister nodded excitedly.

I blushed as I saw how much Shikadai amused himself, while bickering and laughing with Bolt-san, totally different as from his usual self in class.

"Chouchou are you and Shikadai together?" We heard the soft voice of Himawari-chan asking, I think I never was redder in my life though.

"Sis, didn´t I say you shouldn´t ask such personal questions!" Bolt scolded his sister, before turning to us, with another smug grin.

"Well… are you?" The same asked, if not more curious than his sister.

"Well….!" I said but trailed off, after a loud whistle of joy, as soon as Bolt and Himawari spotted their meal coming.

"Ramen!" They shouted in unison, fully happy and without a further word, they began to eat.

"Guess we might as well keep it a secret for now, it´s not like anyone has to know about it, what do you think?" Shikadai asked me whispering.

"No I guess you are right, it´s okay if it stays under us for now!" I said and he nodded with a smile.

And so I gained my first few friends, true friends who took me the way I am and always might be.

Flashback end:

I smiled at the memories, life which had begun so bad for me, slowly turned better, step by step.

I learned to compose my cool side at any time and to only cry in company of Shikadai alone, he was my anchor in the sea of sorrow.

And no matter how many years passed since, I will always remember the words he said, as we kissed the very first time.

"A meal without wine, is like a day without sunshine, and you are my most favourite one!" I mumbled.

"I remember, I found the speech as I was the day before, at your home for a visit, your father was trying out some speeches for Kiba-san and Tamaki-san´s wedding!" I heard it behind me.

"Hey sweetheart, how are you?" I asked.

I kissed him, as he sat down next to me and bend over to my face.

It was a long and heartfelt kiss.

"I´m fine, I brought some snacks and drinks, how are you, is everything alright, you seem to have cried?" Shikadai asked concerned.

"What, oh my, no, it´s nothing I just remembered some old times, the first time we truly met each other, right here!" I said and he nodded.

"I remember it like it was yesterday, I was really afraid that I would lose you that day, I was glad I could convince you to stop it!" He said, as he sat himself and pulled me in an embrace.

"The best choice I ever made in my life, I would say!" I said, as I snuggled in his embrace.

"It was a long time ago, since we last had time for only us both, at least so fully alone, up here like this, it feels like an eternity!" I stated to myself, as I was watching a big cloud passing my field of visions, it looked like a giant chip.

"Sure it is, I think it was 4 months ago, as Inojin broke his arm and leg during the mission towards the Temple of the Light foxes, as I was with Bolts team fighting against this giant Ninja-Cat!" Shikadai stated back.

"Sure, was some heavy shit, which happened back then, I really thought we would be done for real, that time, but thanks to Bolt and Himawari, we all survived yet again!" I said, as I remembered as beside of Bolt and Himawari, no one else of us could fight anymore, from Sarada i dont really know what happened, since Shikadai saw Sarada fighting, as he and Bolt switched the Teams.

For in the Team, we from Team 10 had to Support on their Mission, was Bolt´s sister.

So he personally wanted to make sure she was save, the two have a real strong Siblings complex, but thats what makes both so adorable.

"The three of them are really amazing, but mostly those two, I cannot count how often them both, Sarada and Bolt, have saved our asses, especially Bolt, how many wounds and bone-breaks did he already took upon him, just to keep us all save, and all we can do to repay him, is paying the ramen he eats, it´s really a pity, that this is all he ever wants, same as Himawari.

Sarada is not better, all she ever wants is books or weapons!" I said.

"They are simple minded, if they want something really bad they just buy it by their own, they were, since I know them, no one to constantly bicker about something they want and can´t get.

There is like no ramen meal, nor a book at all left, which they didn´t have eaten or read already!" Shikadai stated, sweat-dropping.

"Guess you are right, still, i somehow feel bad, i mean they constantly are risking their own life for us, we have to do something on equal worth,... i know, this time, the Starlight festival will become a success, so their date, it will not run like the Last time, 2 years ago, as they both have been gone out together that day and were attacked, Bolt almost died that day.

We will constantly watch over them, we will be their fucking shadow, and this time, no Nukenin, and no mob of townspeople will attack them, as true as i sit here, i will prvent this from Happening and i will ensure that this Date will become the biggest sucess, we wever had made.

They want love between each other and well holy fuck, they deserve this love more than anyone, and i promise, by my life, they will be able to get this love, they are desperately wishing for!" I stated passionately.

I felt how he took me even tighter in the embrace and began kissing my neck, it felt good to feel his skin on mine.

"You are right, this truly is the least we can do, to repay their friendship and their sacrifices, well seems like we have to speak with Senpou, Inojin, Katsuo and Himawari then!" he said while kissing me on every free spot on my head.

It felt so erotic and I felt mighty aroused, still, we never went further as to kiss and grope a little, I was still a bit afraid to show him my fully naked body, but he kept on saying that he found me beautiful.

I hope to someday have the courage to show myself to him and that he won´t lose his interest on me then.

It was silent for a while, the clouds passed and the summer breezes rushed over the hill-top.

I began to hum a melody, before beginning to sing.

"I close my eyes, the lantern dies

The scent of awakening, wild-honey and dew

Childhood games, woods and lakes

Streams of silver, toys of olden days

Meadows of Heaven

The flowers of wonder and the hidden treasures

In the meadow of life, my acre of Heaven

A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home

Sailing the waves of past

Meadows of Heaven

Rocking chair without a dreamer

A wood and a spring without laughter?

Sandbox without toy soldiers

Yuletide without the flight, dream-bound for life

Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden

Until I see the first star of fall

I fall asleep and see it all:

Mother's care and colour of the kites

Meadows of Heaven" I ended the song.

"Beautiful as always!" Shikadai said and I blushed.

We remained silent for a while, while he caressed my hair like a cat.

"You know, I don´t really like to do this anymore!" I said.

"What, coming up here and chilling, or being alone with me?" He asked confused and I thought to hear a slight tone of fear in his voice.

"No, no, I mean the hiding, I mean they are our friends after all, I don´t think they would judge us, as a matter of fact, Sarada and even Bolt as well as Himawari and Sarin-chan, all of them suspect that something goes on between us.

I might as well have more or less gave some hints out.

But no matter of how often we deny it to them, they just keep on asking, they are not blind Shikadai, of course they will sooner or later know it for real.

I think we might as well make it official to them, also to our parents, don´t you think so too?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Yeah I am also tired, to always have to deny it to my father and mother and always finding excuses of why I want to meet you.

If we can simply tell them, that we are together since eight years, they might finally understand that I don´t want a girl from Suna!" he stated.

"Wait what?" I asked confused.

"Sigh I know it´s really bothersome, but my mom tries desperately to ship me with some Suna girls, her Brothers have chosen, as If I can care less about someone I never in my life met, or if I even would be able to fall I love with such one.

I told her to stop it, but even dad cannot fully bring her of it.

I don´t know wherever she is trying to tease me to admit my love to you, or if she is serious about this shit!" He stated with venom in his words.

"I know how you feel, my father is also beginning to look for a boy in the Akimichi clan, thankfully he hasn´t found anyone yet.

I think it is high time, to proclaim the whole truth, before they matchmaking us behind our backs with someone!" I stated, looking over to the Kunai of stupidity, as we call it.

The very same kunai I once stole my mother, to slice my wrist, and which, since eight years, was stuck in the tree, having long become a part of it.

Shikadai nodded, looking towards it as well.

"I won´t give you off to any one, never!" He said as he caressed my cheek.

"I love you honey!" I said, as I laid my head in his lap. Being fed with chips by him.

"I love you too, my sweet butterfly!" Shikadai said, as he kissed me, the last chip of the bag between his lips, I bit it off before my lips touched his.

We made out for some time.

I would love if things would stay like this, if this threat of a new war, would never unfold itself.

Just the two of us, sitting on this meadow, eating chips, kissing, laughing, and gazing into the sky, for all eternity.

A never-ending love story.

Part III: Bonus Story, Mission folder 1. : Uzumaki/ Uchiha juniors.

B-Rank Mission:-

Bolt, the Flying Guillotine and the wind foxes, Himawari and the sacred Light-foxes in danger.

C-rank Mission:-

Sarada and the lord of the Ninja Cats.

A few months before the start of the Chunin exam, Uzumaki Villa, Bolt´s Pov:

"Nii-san!" I heard a faint voice calling.

"Hmmm… Sarada-san only a little more ...don´t stop!"

"Nii-san, wake up!" The voice kept on calling, it seemed to get closer.

"Only five minutes more mom, Sarada´s just at the right spot now!"

"Nii-san, hurry, you have to wake up, you will be late on duty!" The voice kept on calling, beginning to annoy me.

"Yes, yes, yes Sarada-san, more!"

"NII-SAN!" Someone shouted, approximately right in my ear, for it was too close all of a sudden and logically I was wide awake, all too sudden.

"Uaaaaah!" I shrieked up, so fast that my head started spinning.

"Uuh, now I feel sick!" I mumbled, as I fell back in my bed.

"Finally, I thought I had to go search for a bucket full of ice-water!" No one else but Himawari said, well more pouted, while she stood before my Futon.

"What is going on, why did you woke me up?" I asked confused.

"Well, first thing, you overslept, second thing, there has been a package been delivered for you, from Tenten-san!" Himawari stated.

I looked groggily at the time, only to be even more wide awake than I already was, the day started shitty I had to admit.

"Oh dammit, I will come late, Sarada is going to kill me!" I shouted, as I practically jump-dived in the bathroom, also to get this boner away.

Damned you shall be, my adolescent brain in puberty.

"Nii-san?!" Himawari asked from behind the door, while I was washing my face and my upper torso.

"Huh, what´s the matter Hima!?" I asked her.

"Were you dreaming about Sarada-san?

You kept on calling her name and you even moaned in bliss!" Himawari asked shyly, while I blushed deep red.

Got to find an excuse, quickly.

"Uh well, yeah kind of, I dreamt that she would give me one of her special massages.

You know, as a medical Kunoichi she has skills, were even the hardest man would be putty in her hands.

Those hands, they are so skilful and she is too, her massages are so damn relaxing, and it just feels so good!" I said drooling in bliss, meaning massages of a pure different kind.

Way to go, Bolt!

"Sounds like you talking about Sarada-san personally, rather than her massages.

To me it sounds like you love being touched by her!" Himawari stated, obviously buying nothing of what I said, the obvious and I went bright red of blushing in embarrassment.

"What are you talking about, Hima, it´s not like that!" I stated but she rightfully did not buy it a second.

"Oh Nii-san, you are so dumb at times, why can´t you simply admit it!" She stated, sticking her tongue out on me, before she walked out of the Bathroom.

"Whoa wait, admitting what and what was with this tongue, young girl?" I asked confused, but she had been vanished downstairs already.

"Geez, just what is going on in her head again?" I asked myself, as I dressed.

I mighty overslept, and I just knew I would get an earful to hear when I get at the training field, especially from Sarada-san, I had more fear about her lectures than those of Konohamaru-sensei.

"Bolt are you up, Sarada-chan called, she sounded rather enraged, I think you better won't let them wait any longer, I made you a Bento and I put some drinks in your backpack, make sure to go as quick as you can, you know how she can get!" I heard mom calling from downstairs as I stepped, fully dressed and awoke, out of mine and Hima-Chans shared room.

We had the choice of getting two separate rooms, but Himawari insisted to stay in a room with me, out of unknown reasons.

I hadn´t any objection to it, I liked the constant company of my beloved sister, call it a Siblings-complex but so it was and might always be.

We liked our closeness together but still sometimes we too searched for a bit privacy; so father simply build movable separation walls inside of our room.

We mostly only used them, if someone is sleeping over at our house, like Sarada-san or Katsuo, her brother and Himawari´s best friend.

"I will go right along!" I said, as I arrived downstairs in the Kitchen.

"Dad is already gone isn´t he?" I asked and mom nodded, knowing that I was kind of disappointed about that.

"He had an early meeting with the messengers of the Daimyou´s of our allied Lands, so he had to leave early in order to prepare anything!" Mom explained with a sorrowful glance.

"I see, well after all I overslept, so I am to blame anyways!" I said to myself, even though I was a tiny bit sad.

"Ah, a package has arrived for you, from Tenten, did you ordered something, as you were at the dojo the last time?" Mom asked me curious, but also a little worried.

"Yes kind of, a few months ago I found weapons I could use to create a new style of the Rasen shuriken, I spoke with father about it and he helped me to train with fake ones which we got from Tenten-san, as best as I could, for the last few months.

Last week he said, I was ready to use the real weapons!" I said, it was the truth.

I would never lie to my mother if it comes to dangerous things, such as weapons.

"Can you show them to me?" Mom asked and I nodded, I had not secrets before her, at least not in terms of Ninja accessories.

I packed the new weapons out and showed them to her.

"What are these, curved Blades?" Mom asked, confused observing the things in the package.

"Not quite, although you might be able to used it that way too, if you use Fuuton-chakra, but the original use is this, please step back, I will show you; Himawari, be careful it is dangerous, don´t come near me for a moment!" I shouted over my shoulder through the house, for her to hear.

"Understood, don´t hurt yourself Nii-san!" She replied loudly, being upstairs in our chamber.

"Alright here we go!" I said, as I unleashed the true form of this weapon.

The blade, as mom had thought, expanded, getting larger and less curved.

"Srrrrrr!" A small but extremely sharp and flexible metal blade ran rapidly alongside the blade-like rails, and formed a spinning Circle, with the cut-force of a Chainsaw.

"What is this, I never saw something like this before?" Mom asked, as she wanted to take a closer look.

"Be careful, it is extremely sharp, as sharp as a razorblade and as fast as an accelerated Chainsaw!" I said to her and she nodded, taking a step back.

"It is a blade-disc, which spins through tiny motors in these rails, it works through the normal chakra flow, but if I put a bit more in it, and put the other one around, I am able, to craft this here!" I said, as I used the second and the only broken rail.

"The Chakra I let flowing through the first rail, is accelerating the spinning disc, so fast that it begins to float between the two rails, also it sharpens the blades through Fuuton based chakra, it is now even sharper than before.

With the second, the broken rail without a Blade-disc inside, I can change the form of the Wind-chakra on it, creating a shuriken around the disc!" I explained to mom as she looked in awe, together with Himawari, who had joined her after finishing herself, to go out on duty.

"Wow Amazing, I see, thanks to the disc inside of it, it does not only flies straight forward, like the Rasen Shuriken, but it also can fly in curves!" Mom said.

"Indeed and it even returns like a boomerang, due to be bound to my chakra, I got the idea out of a movie I have had seen some time ago.

Dad was excited and used this idea to also create a new Jutsu, he wants to show and teach me as soon as he had mastered it; so he said, I think he mentioned a so called Fuuma-Clan, and spoke about Chakra threads!" I said, proudly at mine and my father´s progress.

Both we had a few mighty Jutsus in petto, not for the least since Dad once had gotten a charge of the Chakra of all the nine Bijuu, during the fourth Ninja world war.

This was enabling him, to also use the other chakra-natures, prior to Wind-style, a speciality he had inherited towards Hima and me.

"Yes this is typical for your father, he comes on the strongest Jutsus in the strangest situations!" Mom laughed.

"Anyways I think you better get going now, or else everyone, especially Sarada, will probably lynch you!" Mom said and I sweated buckets full, I almost forgot.

"Right, I better hurry up, any ways thanks for the Bento and the drinks, I will be gone now, have a nice day, you too Himawari, be careful on your mission, that you come back to us in one piece, did you understood?

I won´t accept anything less, than a fully unharmed team and a successful mission, or else I might punish you for it, by letting you paying three maximum deluxe Ramen special, understood!?" I said, as I dispelled the chakra from my weapon, before hugging Himawari.

Through this the weapon deactivated itself, the disc went back, unfolded, in the rails and they looked again like hand-scythe-like weapons, before I attached them with their holsters on the sides of my hips.

(AN: look up the weapon in the Chinese film, The Guillotines, from 2008)

I kissed mom on the cheek and Himawari on the forehead, while she hugged me tightly.

"It will be done brother, but be careful yourself too!" Himawari stated returning the kiss, on my cheek.

"She´s right, be carefull too honey, especially with that new weapon of yours!" Mom stated, returning the kiss and hugging me tightly.

"I will, well see ya, have a nice day!" I said, before I rushed out of the house.

"Up to a new day, full of adventures!" I stated letting the coming summer-warmth shine on my face, as I departed from our villa.

Himawari´s Pov:

I was all ready to go out on my mission, the first B-rank mission, for this I trained 4 years long, with my father, my Mother and my Brother.

I was nervous, still I knew, this time I could show what stuck within me.

"Okay Honey, got everything, fully stuffed medical case, drinks and snacks, kunais, smoke bombs, blinding bombs, kibakufudas, etc.?" Mom asked, after we witnessed Nii-sans cool new move.

"No fear mommy, I got everything!" I said to her, while I was taken in a Bear-hug.

"Be careful my little sunflower, please promise it to me!" Mom said, she wore this worried and sorrowful expression that we all hated so much to see.

She always did it, when someone of us was to go out on missions, also by Bolt´s first B and A rank mission, still we knew she just was worried and no matter what we would say to her, she would always be, as long as it takes for us to be home again.

"No fear I will be, I was trained by you, Dad and Bolt, I might not emotionally be prepared for whatever might come, but at least are my instincts and my jutsus being made to perfection by you all, and I am most thankful for it, whatever happens I will try to come back home in one piece Mom, I promise!" I said to her.

"I know you will, i´m just afraid, what if something will happen, what when you get attacked, I will not even think about it!" Mom said.

"Then don´t think about it okay, just note that I will be back in approximately a week, as soon as our mission is over, I will send you a bird, okay!" I said and she nodded, her eyes still full of tears.

I might not fully understand all of her worry yet, but maybe when I am older and I have children by myself.

However I knew her worry, basically, whenever Dad or Bolt are out on missions I am afraid for them, thank god that they have to stay in the Village, for the time being, the preparations for the Chunin exam are rolling on, I heard Dad saying so to Mom yesterday.

And Mirai-sensei and Konohamaru-sensei said that Bolt and his friends might participate this time.

"I´m so excited!" I squealed in anticipation.

"Sure you are, but I beg you, be careful and always think about what we have taught you, saving your friends and teammates, is nobler than accomplishing any mission, no matter what others are saying.

If the situation might come up, where you have to decide wherever to go on, accomplish your mission but setting your teammates out on danger, or when you see that your opponents are too strong for you and your team alone, remember that you rather keep your team alive.

This is a rule that not only your father or his father has made, but also lady Tsunade and Kakashi-san.

You shall know, that no matter what others tell you, the wellbeing of your team shall always stand before the accomplishing of any mission.

And you are the Medical Ninja of your group, so be extra careful, did you understood!?" Mom explained and I nodded taking her lesson deep within me.

I knew she was right, but I also knew she wished that we would be successful, and I did not learned so hard to fail in this mission now.

I might never get a B rank mission again, if I suck this one up.

"I understand Mom, say hello and goodbye from me for Aunt Hanabi and the others!" I said, knowing that Mom had a meeting with Ojii-san and the Elders of the Hyuuga clan.

"I will, but I guess most of them will ignore it, dear!" Mom said with a frown and I was sad about this news, not that they were new to me though.

I knew that many of them, more the Main family, did not accepted anyone of us, Bolt and me; exactly like the fact, that they cannot perform the Kago no Tori no Juin (Caged Bird Curse Seal) anymore, thanks to Kakashi-san and Dad´s rule as both became Hokages, still the Branch family was happy about this rule.

I still remember how angry Bolt was and still could get, whenever someone talked about this seal, he said that the elders once tried to give me the very same seal, as I was Three years old, they shall have kidnapped me in the night, when everyone was sleeping.

It shall have been bolt, who should have noticed my absence, who said it to Mom and Dad, asking Kiba-san and Shino sensei, they traced the kidnappers towards the Hyuuga district.

Dad, fully in wrath mode, shall have destroyed half of the district, attacked numerous members of the clan who wanted to stop him, through his Shadow-clone and transformation combined technique, to use as a disturbance to most of the members.

His real self meanwhile, managed to get towards the main-hall, by using the seal of the Hirashin no jutsu (Flying thunder god) he had casted on my left wrist, where the elder was about to put the seal on me.

He brought me away, back home with the same technique, in the arms of Mother.

Full of wrath he should have returned to the main hall and should have beaten the elder to the Hospital.

He shall have stated that he would likely kill everybody, who dares to touch me or Bolt or perform any kind of seal on us ever again.

Still until today no one could give an evidence that it actually was Dad, for he was too fast to see, and the elder was alone with me and Dad in the main hall, so claim stands against claim, even Kakashi-san could not do anything against that.

Ever since, Dad and the whole Hyuuga-Clan, minus Mother, Aunt Hanabi and Ojii-san, were on a war foot with each other, even though no one could be sure of it.

However a week later, both of us, Bolt and I have been officially thrown out of the Hyuuga Clan, this made us kind of sad, because this meant that we had to leave the Giant House of the Hyuuga Heir and so also had to left Ojii-san and Aunt Hanabi.

However we also were not sad in the same instant, I think Dad was just glad that they would not try a second attempt.

Ever since, we are only for Aunt Hanabi and Ojii-san Hyuugas, for the rest of the Village we are Uzumakis, not that we were any less proud about that.

It meant, that we are free to live the life as we wanted, not as someone else force us to.

Dad was the Heir of the official Shin Konohagakure - Uzumaki no ichizoku (New Konohagakure Uzumaki Clan) and Bolt would be the second one, no matter who he would chose as a wife.

"Anyways I got to go Mom, I will see you in approximately a week!" I said, as I was about to go out.

"I hope so, I will wish you all the luck of the world, my precious treasure!" Mom said, embracing me from behind.

"I will come back, no fear, well then Sayonara and Arigatou Mother!" I said, before I dashed out of the villa.

The Giant house we live in, also known as the Saikyō Hokage no bira (Villa of the strongest Hokage), was the payment of the village, Dad has gotten from its villagers for defeating Pain, ending the war and stopping the moon to fall, all of the Villagers, means also all the ninjas, as often as they could, helped to build it up.

The building started after we had to leave the Hyuuga Villa and it has been finished 5 years ago, exactly to the day where dad had become the Hokage, before, we all lived in the house of Dads parents.

Dad, Bolt, mother and I had no idea about the building of it, which was also why the Villagers tried their best to keep us away from it, as long as it lasted to be finished, for the villa, including of the giant Garden alone, was normally inevitable to meet at some point.

This catapulted the building-time often backwards, also since not all ninjas could constantly remain at the construction site, due to their missions.

Another factor was, that it might would have been suspicious if the whole town misses, even we would have wondered sooner or later.

So it lasted in the end 6 years for the giant villa to be build, a quarter of the entire wealth of the village has been used for it.

100 artisans from different branches were used to completely finish the work, while 20 gardeners constructed and planted the whole garden.

At the end of it, as We finally got called on the site, the first thing Dad and Mom said was logically 'thank you so very much´, the second thing my dad shall have asked them all was, if they all have gone nuts, that the villa was way too huge for one family alone to live within.

But Kakashi-san said, that Dad might chose to someday raise the Uzumaki Clan from anew, and then he might need an even bigger house than the main house of the Hyuuga Clan.

So they have already build the necessary house for us.

Therefore, since 5 years we are living in a part of the giant house, while ¾ of the house are standing alone and empty in silent solitude, until someone would use it.

The entire villa could fit 8 small families, al of them have their own part of the villa, fully equipped with everything to live.

Momentarily only Ojii-san and Aunt Hanabi, together with her fiancée, Konohamaru-sensei, are living within it alongside of us.

Due to its giantess, it was a long way towards the main gate of the villa, if one walks calmly, or does not jump around ninja-stylish.

In the garden many fox families have found a home, since it lies near the forest, same as Kurama-san, the giant Bijuu loved to sleep the whole day in the garden, if nothing strange occurs.

The Villa was, together with the villa right next to us being shielded by a mighty Kekkai.

The little villa right next to ours was the Uchihas Villa, it was long not as huge as ours, since only few People, alongside of us, helped them to build it up.

Dad effortlessly had tried his best, to convince Mr. Uchiha to move in our villa, but he always denied us the pleasure, saying that such a giant villa was nothing for him and his family.

We were sad about this, for we all didn´t wanted them to feel like anything less, especially Bolt was afraid that Sarada might be angry at us, sometime later we got to know that they all helped to build the house as well.

It lasted some time, before I finally passed the gate to the border of our home.

"Ah Himawari-Chan nice to meet you, how are you this morning!" One of the Gate guards, a shinobi of the Anbu, asked me.

"I'm fine thank you, I'm sorry but I got to go, Neko-san, Kitsune-kun!" I said and they nodded.

"Be careful on your way!" Neko-san said.

"Will be, until next time!" I said as I ran towards the meeting place.

To be honest I was first quite disturbed by their appearance, but since I began to invent names based on their masks, I could get along with the fact, that they stand on different posts in and around the Villa.

"Got to go quick!" I said to myself, as I rushed through the streets, I ran around a corner, but unfortunately I bumped into someone.

"Oww, i´m sorry!" I said, before I recognized the person I had bumped inside, it was one member of the Hyuuga´s Elder court.

"Humph, watch your step Uzumaki!" He only said, before he vanished around the corner.

"Bleh!" I said sticking my tongue out on him, I knew he could see me with his Byakugan.

It was not always easy to be so popular, less to be hated by someone.

I can tell you stories about that.

Everyone always has high expectation on us, and if we show them, that we too are only normal like they are, minus Dad being a Jinnchuriki, they all got disappointed, very quick.

I was long not as strong as my brother and I hated to cause any violence on others who were not my enemies, therefore I was an easy target for mobbing.

But Onii-chan always boxed me out of it, literally, however thanks to me mostly crying when he helped me, because he always came and I didn´t wanted to bother him with my own weakness, I soon got the nickname, Crybaby Uzumaki.

I hated that name, I wanted to become strong, so I did not always have to depend on Bolt, but yet he always helped me no matter what and even though I didn´t wanted to bother him, I was glad that he always helped me out.

Meanwhile by Bolt:

"Argh, Sarada-san, I already said I´m sorry!" I said, as I was tore by my ear towards the training field seven.

"And yesterday I said, that you should not dare to come late, didn´t I?" Sarada said annoyed, I could understand her, really, but she should understand my pain right now too, or not?

"But you know, I had to say goodbye to mom and especially to Himawari, she has her first B-ranked mission today, so I had to tell her again, what the creed of our Family is!" I said, which actually the truth was.

"And I had to show mom my new weapon!" I whined.

"You have a new weapon… nooo, don´t tell me you had bought them!" Sarada asked me sweat-dropping and face-palming, knowing exactly what I meant.

"Sure I did, I did not trained so hard with faked ones to retreat on that idea, I bet it will pay off someday!" I said with a smug grin.

"What kind of weapon is that, Bolt!" Shikadai asked lazily.

"You will see, it is awesome!" I said excited.

"Yeah, especially when it has cut off our heads, didn´t I told you this is nothing for you, you idiot!" Sarada shouted at me.

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do, I said I trained with them, with Dad!" I shouted at her.

"I see, so it was you who kept me awake at night since months, until last night, way to go, thanks to you I was slacking off on training, because of insomnia!" She said with narrowed eyes.

"What has the one thing to do with the other one?" I asked her.

"That you are the idiot, in both of them!" Sarada shouted and tore on both of my ears.

"Ah yeah, right back at you!" I said, as I tore on both her cheeks.

We were Buttheads and as such no one would stop tearing until it really hurts, or until we have something different to be angry off.

"Geez the lovebirds again!" Chouchou sighed.

"Shut up!" We shouted in unison, blushing deep red.

"Chouchou´s got a point there!" Senpou stated.

"I said shut up!" we shouted yet again in unison, getting even deeper red.

"They are so right, both of you, you really are the perfect pair of Lovebirds!" Inojin stated.

"You really want to die today, don´t you?!" Sarada and me shouted, fully enraged and approaching Inojin, who sweat-dropped and backed away.

"Geeez, stop it you Lovebirds, we got no time for this!" We heard a voice behind us.

Our eyes flashed, as both, Sarada and me, spun around to shout at the next one.

"Sensei, not you too!" We shouted at Konohamaru-sensei and Mirai-Sempai.

"Sempai what do you mean by that?" Chouchou asked, ignoring us completely.

"We got a mission for Team 7, it's a C-Rank mission!" Konoha-sensei, as we call him often, said.

"A C-rank, sigh what is it this time?!" Sarada and I said in unison, getting giggling and chuckling noises from our teammates.

"You have to retrieve a paw-print for Nekobaa, unfortunately she has lost one, during Tamaki-san´s move to Konohagakure!" Mirai-sempai stated, as lazily as Shikadai often.

"Actually, Kiba-sensei wanted to overtake this mission, for Tamaki is his Fiancée, but the Hokage needed him for another mission, so he gave us this one!" Konohamaru-sensei stated.

"And where´s the hook in it?" I asked.

"Which hook?" both Senseis asked.

"Bolt´s right, it is a C-rank after all, so one difficulty must be in it at least, or else it would be a D-rank, not?" Sarada said and most of them were buff.

"Wait, did I just heard out of your mouth, that Bolt´s right?" Mirai-sempai asked.

"So what?" Sarada asked confused.

"Save our souls, follow my lead and run, the end of the world is near!" She shouted.

"Aaaaah!" they all ran around like idiots, well beside of Shikadai, who was probably as annoyed as we were.

"Do you know what´s going on with them?" Sarada asked me.

"They probably ate something wrong!" I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Just ignore them!" Shikadai said.

"We would, unfortunately can´t we begin our missions if they are dying laughing, can we!" Sarada explained.

"You got a point there!" I mumbled.

"Anyways, can you go on please, Senseis!?" We demanded loudly.

"Ahem, yes, well the paw print we have to find is about Nekomata, the Cat lord of the Ninekos, the ninja Cats.

A Giant being, also known as the Animal Lord of Darkness, according to the Information the Boss gave me!" Konoha-Sensei said, referring to the Hokage, my Dad.

He was his, more or less, Mentor in his own childhood days, most extra crass jutsus he had from my father, so in a way he also had been the apprentice of the Hokage, same as Mirai-sempai.

"Ah yeah, well I guess it cannot be any crazier and no more difficult, than catching a damned Ninja Ostrich!" I said sighing, remembering the last mission all too well.

Ever since six years, we constantly had to catch those damned birds, who were trying to fulfil their father´s last wish, driving us poor Uzumakis to absolute wrath, even Himawari had the pleasure to meet one or two of them.

"I think Naruto-sensei said, that it is even more difficult than that!" Mirai-sempai, being roughly 4 years older than us, once has been one of the Genins father had trained as their official Sensei, before she became a Chunin and later Jonin.

"What for pleasurable outlooks!" We said sweat-dropping in unison.

"Anyways we already lost too many time let´s go on!" Konoha-sensei said.

"And what are we going to do?" Shikadai asked his sensei as my team was about to go.

"We have a B-rank mission, we are the support for Kiba-sans Team, on their mission to the Land of Rice-fields!" Mirai-Sempai stated and my Eyes flashed brightly.

"Can´t we change missions?" I asked her.

"Why so?" Konohamaru-sensei asked confused.

"My sister is in Kiba-sensei´s Team, I want to be sure of her and her teams´ security, Dad told me about this Land, it was the land where this Orochimaru guy had his hideouts for his sick experiments, no one knows where he is momentarily, but he still could be there.

I won´t have a peaceful second, knowing that Himawari might run right into the heart of Danger!" I said.

"Hmmm, I understand, geez, it´s troublesome, but yeah if Mirai-san is okay with it, we can change one person of each team!" Konoha-sensei stated lazily.

"If you promise to listen to my orders, I will take you happily in, we really can need one person more with a Byakugan.

Shikadai please switch places with Bolt san!" Mirai-sempai stated, as lazily like her Cousin.

"Hey, Bolt wait, you can´t simply… I come wi…!" Sarada stated but was interrupted.

"That´s not possible, sorry!" Konoha-sensei said.

"Whaaat, why not?" Sarada shouted enraged, while Senpou and Chouchou snickered.

"Because Nekobaa stated, that only an Uchiha is able to get the Paw print from Nekomata, so you as an Uchiha have to participate on this mission.

I only let Bolt go, because it´s about his sister and Shikadai´s forces of Shadow binding might be handy to get our mission quickly done, if anything happens to Team 10 or Kiba-sans Team, we will come for help as fast as we can anyways!" Konoha-sensei stated.

"….Okay!" Sarada stated, rather unwillingly.

"No fear Sarada, I will handle things there, so don´t be sad, you will have me sooner back, than you might like!" I stated with a smug grin and I thought to see her blushing.

"Just promise to come back in one piece, all of you, got it!?" She stated, with a glance full of concern and a bit of sorrow too.

Even though she said this for no one in particular, her eyes fixated me, so strong that I blushed but kept on staring in her eyes, those black oceans I could get lost in.

"No fear, Sarada, we will keep your sweetheart far from danger and other girls!" Chouchou stated smiling brightly, crashing all sweet fantasy with her wrecking-ball like reality.

"Waaa, stop it, we are no Lovebirds!" We replied, face flushing.

"I never said something about lovebirds!" Chouchou said with the smuggest of smug grins.

"Waaaah eh, eh….eh!" We were a loss of words from blushing.

"Hahah, well then, we better hurry up, if we want to get our missions done, everyone be careful on your way, you too Mirai!" Konoha-sensei stated

"Hai!" We shouted and so we rushed out of the Village.

Meanwhile with Himawari-Chan:

It has been 6 and a half hour ago, since we passed through the gates, according to our Sensei, we should be at the location in approximately two days, I have to admit I was a little nervous, even more than before.

"So kids, our first B-rank Mission, I know you are excited but please, don´t lose your head and always keep a cool one, even in bad situations!" Kiba-sensei said.

"Hai!" We replied.

"Our mission is to defend the temple in the Hikari kitsune no gurōbu (Grove of the Light Foxes), which lies deep within the Seinaru mori (Sacred Forest) in Ta no Kuni (Land of the Rice fields), against temple raiders.

According to the messenger of the Land of Rice-fields, have several important Fox statues being stolen, these statues have been crafted to hail towards the servants of the Kami Inari.

However not all statues have been stolen already yet, therefore the monks of the Temple are fearing that the raiders might come back, in order to get the remaining ones.

Our mission is mostly to prevent this from happening also shall we, by possibility, look out for the missing Statues!" Kiba-sensei stated.

"But Sensei, why is this then a B-rank mission?" One of my Teammates, Ganto-kun, asked.

"Because the Land of Rice fields is also where Orochimaru and Otogakure had its hideout, ever since the last war, he has been vanished from our Radar, therefore we don´t know exactly where he is, or what he might plan again.

He shall have stated towards Lady Tsunade, that he has no intention to be the storm himself anymore, but that he rather waits for someone else to become the wind, that turns the wind-mill.

We don´t know what that exactly means, but alone the fact that we have to go to the same place he once hid himself, is dangerous, therefor are we not alone on this mission, we have Team 10, Mirai-sensei´s team as a support, they should be here soon!" Kiba sensei stated.

"For now we can wait a bit I would say!" he said sitting himself on a branch, Yuudai, his dog, better said the son of Akamaru, his former partner, was sitting on his head, same as once his father should have done it, according to Dad and Mom.

"What do you mean with waiting, we are already here, Kiba-san!" a voice stated from somewhere.

"What, already, wait say the Parole first!?" Kiba-sensei shouted, going in defence state as Mirai-sensei appeared with her team.

"Bōru inu no tame no, shinju buta no mae ni (Bowl for Dogs, pearls before swine)!" Mirai-sensei stated.

"Ah thank god, I thought we would already being ambushed by the enemy!" Kiba-sensei stated.

"Looks like you really have no faith in your team, I know I have a little change in mine, for this mission at least, but I bet that I can count on him no matter what!" Mirai said, gesturing over to a boy I never have seen before.

"Hey, Setsuna-kun, come and say hello!" Mirai-sensei stated and the boy who was sharing water bottles to our team and his own, came over.

"Good afternoon, i´m Setsuna Kuroshi, nice to meet you, I hope that we will get along well!" The boy said, as he was bowing before us.

He was tall, looked a little like Inojin, but had entirely black hair, also he had bright green eyes, somehow he was suspicious to me, but he seemed to be very nice.

"Well you got manners boy, anyways I hope too for a good cooperation, nice to meet you, anyways it's still a long way until our first stop, we better hurry if we want to be there before night-time!" Kiba-sensei stated.

"Hai!" We said and so we made ourselves back on the way.

Earlier that day, Bolt´s Pov:

"A disguise?" Mirai-Sempai asked confused.

"Why would you need that?"

"Well what would you think, would happen, if I appear before Himawari, as a member of the support team?" I asked.

"I cannot follow your thoughts, what do you mean?" She stated confused.

"Well of course she would be angry and sad.

You know how sensitive she is towards failing in something, she always gives her 200%, no matter what.

Coming along as a Support, she, in her thought-patterns, would directly think that father would not trust her a bit.

She would think, that I would have been send by Dad, to take things over, if she fails!" I explained, I knew my little sister all too well.

"I see, so that's why you are going to disguise, but in who?" Mirai-sempai asked.

"In a boy I once have met during a mission and befriended, his name is Setsuna Kuroshi, he is a carpenter apprentice in the Land of Waves, the son of a Friend of Dad, Inari Kuroshi!" I said, as I transformed.

"I see, Himawari doesn´t know him, I assume!?" Mirai-sempai asked, scanning me off and I nodded.

"Exactly, it is the perfect disguise!" I said.

"Since I know him well, I know how to act, this way I can help her, without having to show her that it´s me!" I said.

"I see, but then you have to be careful, if we should fight you better don´t get hit, or else everything will be futile!" She said to me.

"No fear, what I use is no ordinary Henge no jutsu, its Lady Tsunade´s kamereon no meisai no Jutsu (Jutsu of the Chamaeleon camouflage), as long as I have Chakra the Jutsu will not end, so long until I end it with Mokushiroku no jutsu (The Revelation Jutsu)!" I explained.

"I see, well, I cannot say I am all for nor am I against your idea, I will simply observe, and that you won't do something stupid with this Jutsu!" Mirai-sempai stated.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Groping on Chouchou perhaps, or trying it by me!" Mirai-sempai stated trying to pose.

"Chouchou knows me good enough to have no fear, that I would do that, and I know myself good enough to not have a thing for o…!" I said but was interrupted harshly, as Mirai looked with the best of her rape-faces at me.

"It would be better, very much better for your future, if you never end this phrase!" Mirai threated and I shut my trap instantly.

"Ahem, anyways, its also a good opportunity to use my newest Jutsu, or my newest weapon!" I said.

"Wait a new Jutsu, again, you had a new one 2 months ago, how do you do that?" Mirai-sempai asked with curious eyes.

"Thanks to my Kagebushin it is quite easy to learn new Jutsus in days where others need years.

Anyways my Jutsu is called, Fuuton- Kaijin Kaze kitsune no jutsu (Wind-style, Jutsu of the Phantom-Wind-Foxes) it´s based on Kakashi-san´s Raiton- Raijū Tsuiga (Lightning-style, Lightning beast tracking fang), it´s a senjutsu technic, crafted with the wind and air around me, it is practically inevitable since air exist everywhere, I just have to mark my opponent and my Wind beast will haunt him, for as long as it takes for him, to get caught by it!" I explained.

"For this, Tenten has created me this special-metal fan!" I said, as I showed her the good thing.

It looked like a normal tiny fan, just of the type the ladies always got in their pockets, for hot and sunny days.

The metal is Chakra-leading, so I am able to use Sen Chakra, as well as Kyūbiko's Chakra, with it.

"Geez you Uzumakis, always greedy to become stronger than you already are!" She said and sighed.

"Anyways, we better hurry up, or else we won´t be able to catch them!" Mirai-sempai stated to us.

We all nodded.

"Hai!" We said and Chouchou as well as Inojin stood up and so we made ourselves back on the way.

"I just hope Sarada and the others are okay!" I thought, I had such a bad feeling, since it was a C and not a D mission, getting a Paw Print of this Nekomata seems to not in the slightest be as easy, as it might sound.

Meanwhile in Sora-ku, with Sarada:

I rarely saw such a dreary Place like this one, I mean it´s hard to believe that the entire place shall be populated by Cats, still, here it shall be, where the Ninekos-Bastion lies, according to Nekobaa.

Flashback:

"Nekobaa, how are you!?" Konoha-sensei stated, as we, after approximately a good 6 hours managed to get towards our location.

"Hello Konohamaru-san, it´s nice to meet you again, we haven´t seen each other for years, I hope everything is alright back home, I heard that Tamaki wanted to send Kiba-san but that the same had to take on another mission for the Hokage!" Nekobaa stated and our sensei nodded.

"It´s going well, we lately are quite busy with many missions but overall things seem to keep on being peacefully, anyways this is my Team for today, these are Senpou Rock, Sarada Uchiha and Shikadai Nara!" Konoha-sensei stated, introducing us to the old Lady.

"I see nice to meet you, so you are Sasuke´s daughter, let me look at you, my, my, what a beauty you have become, I still know as I was able to hold you on one arm, you were so tiny, but you had a strong grip I have to admit!" Nekobaa said, as she took my hands and scanned me.

"Oh my, you look like in a lot of worry, what is on your mind my dear, maybe I can Help?" She asked.

"It´s about a friend of mine, he has switched the teams to help his sister´s team out by their missions, however they are going in fiend territory, towards where once my Fathers sensei lived, Orochimaru, I fear for their safety!" I said, being full of worry.

"I see, yes, I heard about the whole story, that time as your father came here a few years ago, long before your birth, He wanted to equip his team in order to chase after your Uncle, Itachi.

Sigh, it I gruesome what happened between them both, I knew them since they were 5, both of them, I never really understood how it could come so far.

It is a misery, but when I look now at you, how you are standing here in front of me as a young woman, then I truly have to say, that I am glad your father survived his bloody trip for revenge.

In time the Uchihas always have been good customers of mine, and it would be an Honour to me, to supply you too with my ware, anyways, I know that your friend will be able to make it, no one goes freely to such a mission, but if your friend does, then I am sure that he must be quite strong and also concerned enough to go for support.

Tamaki researched for me a bit, about this whole Orochimaru-thing, and my Ninekos are telling me news from other lands, so I am also always up to date about coming dangers or so.

According to them, this man called Orochimaru seems to hide himself near the border to the Land of Rice-fields, but they don´t know where exactly, as much as I know for now at least.

Say Kid, that friend of yours, is he only a Friend or… you know…your special someone?" Nekobaa asked and my cheeks heated up.

I looked around, the others were busy wondering about all sorts of weapons in the vitrines.

"Uhm, well!" I began but was interrupted.

"No fear my dear, you don´t need to say something, your eyes are showing me anything, what´s his name?" She asked, I found it strange to tell her so much but somehow she had something which made me trust her.

"Bolt Uzumaki!" I said, blushing deep red, this was something I never would tell anyone.

"An Uzumaki, I see, this is a Holy connection you are about to go in my dear child, it happens rarely that a Senju successor and an Uchiha successor are falling in love with each other!" She said and I wanted to object.

"But if they do, something strong is to be born out of it, that's for sure, my little friends told me that it once gave a family in Amegakure, consisting of an Uchiha and an Uzumaki, who shall have gotten a son, with tremendous power.

However I have no real information what has later happened with them, it seemed to have been to Hanzo´s years of reign, long before Pain came there!" Nekobaa stated, a bit too loud.

"Wait if you knew that Pain was in Amegakure, why didn´t you never told us so!" Konohamaru-sensei asked enraged, having heard the conversation, at least the last part.

"My Dear Konohamaru, as you might know, since, except for the Uchiha and a few people, no one cares about that I'm here, I'm also not a soul answerable to.

If someone wants something from me, he must ask me first, and pay secondly, this goes as well viseversa!" Nekobaa said in a harsh tone.

"No one cares what is happening to me, out here all alone, all by myself and my friends, beside of Kiba san, Tamaki and the Uchihas, so it is not like I have to tell anyone anything not!" Nekobaa stated, before she took a strong suck on her cigarette and let a cloud of biting smoke out.

"Anyways, I already told you all, what I know about this Orochimaru and his current Hideout, so you better succeed in this mission.

After all, this was the payment I had to do, as I had made as deal with your Hokage!" Nekobaa stated.

"I see, anyways I have to tell this informations towards the Hokage, how about you going to tell my team, what this Mission is about!?" Konoha-sensei stated and Nekobaa nodded.

"Anyways, as you know is the mission about getting a new Paw print of Nekomata, the lord of the Ninekos, unfortunately the old one has been vanished ever since we had the movement from Tamaki´s things towards Konoha, after she came together with Kiba-san.

I can tell you this won´t get easy as it might sound, for giving a Paw print to anyone, is for a Nineko similar as to giving up its pride, so it is also with Nekomata, he is not for nothing the strongest Ninja-cat there is.

The Nineko-bastion lies far on the outskirts of the Town and is defended by an whole legion of Ninekos, however there is an easy way to get in.

Take these with you, I made them stronger than ever before, they give of an reaction towards the sense of smell of the Ninekos and cause an Genjutsu on them, so that they believe that you are Ninekos just like them, perhaps only the most high ranking members and Nekomata will be able to overcome it!" Nekobaa stated, as she gave us Cat-ears, tails and Paws to wear.

"Wait, is this really necessary!" Shikadai asked, kind of annoyed.

"If you don´t want to be caught instantly, you better do!" Nekobaa replied with a stern look.

I looked at my set, it were Black ears, a black smooth tail and paw-gloves.

"Sigh, well I knew there was a hook in this plan!" I mumbled, as I put them all on.

"Click!" Suddenly the sound of a Handy Camera was to be heard.

"Huh?" I looked up and saw Senpou standing in front of me with her handy directed to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused, as she took another two photos.

"I´m sending some photos at Bolts Handy, of you in cat attire, I bet he gets a nosebleed and begs to be able to come back in our team!" She stated and I blushed deep red, crap.

"Stop this, don´t send them!" I said.

"Sorry I already did!" She said with an devious smile.

"Hey Shikadai!" Senpou said, addressing the annoyed boy.

"Huh!" the same looked and was banned on photos as well.

"Say Cheese!" Senpou snickered.

"These ones I will send to Chouchou!" She said.

"Geez stop this will you, this is not for fun!" Shikadai said.

"Click!" it made as I took my own photos from Senpou.

"Alright I will send them now!" I stated.

"Wait, where do you sent them?" She asked afraid.

"To Inojin of course!" I said with a smug grin and I saw her blushing deep red.

"Serves you right!" Shikadai only said.

"Guys stop fooling around we got a mission to accomplish, I want to be ready to support Team 10, as fast as possible, when they need us!" Konoha-Sensei stated as he returned.

"Alright off to the Cat Bastion!" He said.

"Hai!" We shouted and so we set off.

Himawari´s Pov:

We had been running for hours and we seemed to come near the border of the Land of Rice-fields.

"Alright at guard guys, I just got a message from Konohamaru, according to Nekobaa, Orochimaru shall be hiding near the border to the Land of Rice-Fields, which is all of information he has gotten!" Mirai-sensei stated.

"I see, so we have to be extra careful, since we don´t know at which border and where exactly he might be hiding!" Kiba-sensei stated.

"Did you heard that guys, no unilateral actions understood, that counts mostly for you Ganto!" he said to us and we nodded.

"Alright, night is coming up, I guess we better stop for tonight and go back on our track in the early morning, what do you think Mirai-san!" Kiba sensei asked.

"I guess you are probably right, who knows what might lure out there in the dark for us; anyways, my team takes the first guard!" Mirai-sensei stated.

"Alright, Ganto, Himawari, Setsuna, we are going to search for wood, you others please set up our camp!" Kiba-said and we all nodded.

We went into the forest, which was already quite scary, so fully bathed in darkness and only illuminated by the moon.

"Okay we will part in teams of two persons, Setsuna and Himawari, you go to the left, Ganto and I will look at the right, if anything is happening out of control, use these Signal fires!" Kiba-sensei stated and we nodded.

"Alright let´s go!"

"Hai!" We shouted and so I went after Setsuna.

"Be careful, many animals are nocturnal, also those who you don´t see directly, like poisonous spiders, snakes and other animals, but also ninjas or bandits like to attack in the dark of the night!" Setsuna stated as we walked after a while, I still was suspicious about this guy.

I couldn´t really understand of why Kiba-Sensei would pair me up with such a stranger, not that most of my Team mates where any better.

Ganto for example loved to run and attack first, before even considering the danger he brings us in, Kiba-sensei stated that he was similar to my father, in their early years, I couldn´t quite believe this though.

Lorena and I always have to back him up, or pull him away from danger, much to the anger of Kiba-sensei, it was often because of Ganto that we get in trouble.

Lorena was not different, she was the typical girly girl, who won´t do anything to get dirty, I honestly ask myself why she became a ninja, instead of becoming a Hairdresser.

Honestly she was just as annoying as Ganto, whenever a mission runs well, it was always them two, who thought that it was thanks to them that we succeeded, and they loved to punch this unjustified claim right in my face.

Not rarely Kiba-sensei had to yell at them though, stating often that it was my doing that made the mission a success, this was a bit of gratification for me.

Sigh, I wish I would have at least Katsuo in my Team.

He´s talented, smart and calm, careful and kind, not like those Brats who hold themselves for so much better.

"Hey careful!" Setsuna stated, as I was about to run right into a tree.

"Huh, how does this one comes in my way!?" I asked confused, as I recognized that the tree stood completely on the path we were walking.

"I guess that we are not alone!" Setsuna whispered in my ear.

He had his hand on my shoulder, and even his stature right now, the way he looked around us to watch for danger, was almost the way,… but now way, this can´t be, not, how would he know about my mission, and hasn´t he a mission for his own team today.

And even if, why would he disguise himself as someone else, does he think I would be mad at him, because I would think that he would be here to control my progress, or to overtake the mission if I fail, geez this is so typical for…

"Bolt!" I whispered.

"Huh, did you said something?" Setsuna asked.

"No, I didn´t said anything!" I lied.

"You are a terrible liar, Himawari-chan!" Setsuna said, and now I was certain that I was right, this guy was Bolt.

No one ever knew when I lied, as long as it wasn´t obvious, no one beside of Bolt, who somehow was able to always say when I was lying, not that I do it often though.

I looked over Byakugan, doing so as if I scan our surroundings, I also casually scanned him and I was right, he might be able to disguise himself with a jutsu, but his inner self he could not disguise, I saw this Chakra and its flow too often, to not recognize it´s irregularity before other People, the irregularity caused by the inherited Bijuu-force in him.

Should I tell him or not…

Hmm I guess I will look how long he can uphold this masquerade, as I know him, in danger, he would not be able to uphold it long.

"14 men, hiding on a radius of 300 meters around us!" He stated, as he sat himself on the ground to concentrate.

"How do you know this?" I asked him, setting up a confused look.

"I am a Sensor-Ninja, I might be a Kuroshi but I also am part of the Yamanaka Clan!" he stated, his voice did not, in the slightest, gave any evidence of a lie.

Bolt was perfect in lying, he trained this skill as we were young, during his prankster time, I was always in awe how he could force other persons to simply believe him.

I guess Sarada and I were the only ones who, more or less, could decipher when he was lying.

"Get ready Himawari-chan, here they come!" Setsuna-san shouted.

He grabbed in his pocket and grabbed a kunai.

"If I say, now, please duck, okay?" He asked.

"Roger!" I shouted taking my own Kunai out.

Here they are.

"Now!" I Heard Setsuna shouting.

"Hai!" I shouted, ducking myself to the ground.

"Kaze no ha jairo no jutsu (Jutsu of the wind-blade gyroscope)!" Setsuna shouted and turned himself with immense speed, around the own axis.

His kunai filled with Chakra enlarged and so was able to slice everything in a radius of 100 meters, a Jutsu Bolt often used to compare to his Hakke Rokujūyon Shō, which, as he says, is even weaker than mine.

Through the spin, wind was rising, which sharpened through the Senchakra Bolt used, creating a Shield made of thousands of wind blades, which let nothing through.

"Aaarggh!" I heard the screams of the men who collided with this shield.

I could imagine what was happening to them.

"Look with your Byakugan how many are remaining!" he ordered me, and by anyone else I would surely have snapped, alone thanks to this demanding tone in his voice, but it was Bolt, in disguise, so I had to do as he asked.

Also that it might save our lives this time.

"7 are remaining, walking around us, hoping for an opening!" I said.

"I see, well then please set of the signal lights for Kiba-sensei!" Setsuna (Bolt) said and I nodded.

Using all my force to start the firework, which flew through an opening in the wind-dome´s ceiling Bolt had created, before closing it again.

"Seems like they try to get away!" I said, as I looked with my Byakugan at our enemies.

"Oh no they won´t!" he shouted as he used another bunch of hand seals.

"Ha arashi arīna no jutsu (Jutsu of the blade-storm arena) Setsuna (Bolt) shouted and suddenly a mighty storm came up which began to get even stronger.

Suddenly all the noises of the outside, like of twigs breaking, stones shaking and the wind howling, all of this just silenced, as if it never existed.

"What´s Going on here?" I asked confused.

"We are in the eye of a hurricane!" Setsuna stated.

"Tell me Bolt, do you even try to disguise yourself!?" I asked him.

"Huh, I don´t know what you mean, Bolt is with his team to their mission, as much as I know, I am only the replacement for Shikadai, who went sick since yesterday evening, something about the last mission he had with his team!" Bolt said but lied perfectly.

"Oh Bolt, stop playing games, I already checked you with my Byakugan!" I stated annoyed.

"Didn´t I said that you shall not do that on people, or do you plan to become a voyeur!" Bolt asked as he sighed and released his jutsu, becoming his own self again.

"But there has to be a reason, why you looked at me with your Byakugan, through what did I exposed myself?" Bolt asked curious.

"The way you looked around, hearing with your better senses, you heard our enemies before I was able to recognize them, I bet you already knew how many there were, don´t you?" I asked him.

"Positive!"

"Setsuna, Himawari!" We heard it shouting through the storm.

"It´s Kiba-sensei and Mirai sensei!" I said.

"Alright stay right next to me and duck!" Bolt said and I nodded.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I pull the bag together!" he only said before I suddenly heard the sound of twigs breaking, bones as well as stone shattering.

Screams were filling the night.

The noise kept up for a while, before it suddenly disappeared, I opened my eyes, which I had closed as the wind rushed around us, only to see that our enemies laid unconscious, or perhaps dead, on the ground.

"Setsuna, Himawari are you alright?" Kiba-senseis asked, as he came running up to us.

"Yes we are!" Bolt said.

"Huh, Bolt what are you doing here?" Kiba-sensei asked.

"Where is Setsuna, don´t tell me you killed him in your attack?" Kiba-sensei asked, panicking.

"Uhmm Kiba-sensei, I know everything, you can stop with your masquerade!" I said to him.

"What are you talking about, Mirai san, help me finding out who is Setsuna!?" Kiba-sensei asked, before addressing Mirai-sensei.

"Umm, Kiba-sensei, could it be that you had no idea that I am, better said was Setsuna Kuroshi!" Bolt asked, tilting his head to the side in bright confusion.

"Wait what, you were, but how, I didn´t smelled anything familiar on you!?" Kiba-sensei stated.

"Woaaah really, seems like this Jutsu really works on everyone, beside of those who know about it or who know me and my behaviour all too well!" Bolt stated and I was in awe, Kiba-sensei was said to have the best nose in all of Konoha, but if not even he could find out that Setsuna was Bolt in disguise, this Jutsu truly must be amazing.

"How did you managed to trick my nose?!" Kiba-sensei asked.

"I just used Lady Tsunade´s special camouflage Jutsu, I once asked her to teach it to me for fun, helped me out on many occasions though!" Bolt said blushing.

"Wait, don't tell me… You… so it was you who spied on us girls, in the Onsen, more than once!" Mirai-sensei shouted in enragement.

"What, I have no idea what you mean?" Bolt said, still blushing.

"Wait that means whenever I was accused of voyeurism, it was in reality you!" Kiba-sensei stated, both were ready to lynch my Brother, who backed away.

"Hey, wouldn´t it be better to find those guys Hideout, also someone has to return to the Camp, to make sure everything is alright!" I said, more out of truth, rather than trying to save Nii-chan, if he had done what I think he did, then he just deserved this punishment, however I was worried about the others.

"Guess she´s right!" Kiba-sensei stated while tearing Bolts Slip high up, while the same was near the tears.

"Well who goes back!?" Mirai-sensei asked.

"Hmm, how about Scissor-Paper-Rock!" Kiba-sensei replied; I sweat-dropped, are they serious.

"Alright, here we go, Scissor, Paper, Rock!" both shouted.

"Dammit I lost, I really wanted to punish him a little, oh well, we will continue when you come back in the camp!" Mirai-sensei said, after choosing rock, threating Bolt with her best rape-face.

"And we will see where this guy's Camp is, Yuudai, please pick up their trace!" Kiba-sensei asked his Puppy Dog.

"Sure thing!" The same stated, different as his father, Yuudai was able to speak same as Kakashi-san´s Ninken, no one knew why this was so.

Perhaps Yuudai was smarter than his Father.

"bzzz, bzzz!" Suddenly something vibrated in Bolt´s pocket.

"Bolt I think you just got an SMS!" I said to him.

"Huh, ah thanks I will look!" He said as he took his Phone out.

His reaction, to whatever he saw was amazing, first it was confused, then he went deep red, and then he had such a dumb look with a drooling tick as expression, he even began nose-bleeding.

"What is it, huh, Woaaahhh!" Kiba-sensei stated, and flew backwards due to nose-bleeding.

"Just what the hell have you two there again, I hope Mirai-sensei won´t see this!" I stated as I walked around to see what was going on.

"Oh, My, God!" I shouted.

"Is this…for real!?" I asked him, even I became a nosebleed at the picture I was seeing.

Sarada in Cat-girl mode.

"It has been taken by Senpou minutes ago, it is so Moe and Kawaai!" Bolt stated, his nose-bleeding never ended.

"I will make this my Screensaver!" he mumbled with a pervy smile.

"Hmm, according to my nose they are a group of 30 People, means 16 are remaining when we count the 14 killed ones of it, I have their trace, follow me Guys… uhmm Guys!" Yuudai stated and looked confused as he saw Kiba-sensei being K.O thanks to his nosebleed.

"Alright I go in the middle, I can smell humans and Animals, Himawari you have a greater range of your Byakugan than Bolt, according to what I know, you run before me and check our front, Bolt you are behind us and check our backs!" Kiba-sensei stated, conscious and back in action and so we all nodded.

"We will, Dattebasa (You better believe it)!" We stated in unison and so we made our way towards these guys´ hideout.

"I hope you are alright, Sarada, and don´t you dare to get hurt, but moreover, don´t you dare to forget to bring this cat-girl attire with you back home, Nii-san will love it!" I thought as I followed my Sensei´s Ninken.

Sarada`s Pov:

"Aaaachooo!" I sneezed.

Dammit Senpou, I bet Bolt was speaking about me right now, he surely has seen these photos, and he with his adolescent and dirty mind, would definitely make it to his screensaver.

Still it was tempting to think he could think this way about me, but the hell I will admit this to him or anyone.

"Alright, guess we are here!" Konoha-sensei said as we stopped at a near forest, before us, right behind a large bridge was the Giant Cat Bastion, which looked like a giant Maneki-Neko.

"Well then, time to get this on the roll, kore!" Konoha-sensei stated and so we made our way over the bridge, we were about to go through the gate as suddenly...

"Ohe, stop right there, Parole!" The Nineko guard before us shouted.

"Eh Parole!" Konohamaru asked, sweatdropping.

"Yes the Parole!" The guard said.

"Uhmm Catmint!" Our sensei tried.

"Nope that was the one from four months ago!" The guard stated narrowing his eyes, we got to distract them, real quick.

Suddenly a light-bulb went alight in my mind.

"Konomaru don´t tell me that you completely forgot to ask Nekobaa for the current parole, dammit, we were four months away and you forget the most trivial thing, goddammit, how in the world are we supposed to know it now, and how shall we get the report for Lord Nekomata from Our Mission, don´t tell me that we have to go all the way back to Nekobaa, I want to sleep in my bed for once, I will kill you if I have to sleep one last time for this month one a tree!" I shouted loudly, in an attempt of quick reaction at our Sensei.

The rant was to hear about all over the bridge, to the inner court of the Bastion.

I Yelled loudly, also because it was true, he never asked Nekobaa about any kind of Security measurements, even though he knew that the Bastion shall be high secured.

"Uhmm but Sara, I know I should have asked, but I though Sen had asked already!"

"Why it does always lies on me to ask such things, you are the oldest of us after all, goddammit I swear when the boss yells on me I will give it back to you hundred fold!" Senpou shouted, quick thinking too.

"Guys can´t we simply go through, I beg you this goes so since the last four months, they find hundreds of things to bicker about and I have to cope with them, all I want is to get back home to my wife, my kids and moreover to my bed and my peace, I haven't really slept for five days straight and believe me, they can go on like this, all night long!" Shikadai stated and the Guards sweat-dropped.

"Alright, we will let this slip but note this is the only time, the Parole is Cat wash!" The guard said and they rolled the gate upwards.

"Thanks guys, I really owe you one!" Shikadai stated.

"Don´t worry, by such teammates I would definitely flee too!" The guards mocked and so we went past them, bickering loudly about this and that, before we were out of sight.

"Good thinking Sarada-san!" Sensei said but I hit him anyways.

"Oww, why did you hit me, I thought this was only played!" He whined.

"Well it´s true, you never asked which security measurements they have, you idiot!" I ranted.

"Ahem anyways, where shall we now search for this Nekomata, I mean this Bastion is really big, I bet the inside is like a giant Maze!?" Senpou asked.

"Well I bet he´s high up in the Bastion´s `Head´, dammit if we had Inojin too we might could use his Drawings to find the way.

"Well we better get in, before we starting to grow roots here, I guess we better do as if it were the first time, that we had made an Mission specially for Lord Nekomata, so that after being four months away, we logically would have forgotten the way to his office!" Shikadai said and we nodded.

"Guess you are right, alright everyone let´s get this mission done and then we will get back to Konoha to be able to act as fast as possible as a back-up for Mirai´s team, if they shall need one!" Konohamaru-sensei stated and so we entered the bastion, unknown of what will expects us.

"Bolt I hope your guys mission is easier than ours!" I mumbled.

Bolt´s Pov:

"Dammit those guys were lame!" I mumbled, as I was investigating in the Camp of the thieves, to be honest we had really easy play with them.

"You sure are right, they are too easy beaten, but as it looks these truly are the thieves we were searching, which means that the temple is not far anymore!" Kiba-sensei stated, as he picked up one of the stolen Fox statues out of a wooden box.

"Well seems like this Mission might get easier than we thought!" I heard Himawari Stating, while I was reading in a letter-scroll which I just found, she was fresh written.

"Guess you are mistaken there Imoutou!" I said as I scanned the paper again.

"What do you got there, Bolt?" Kiba-sensei asked and I handed him the Scroll over.

"A Letter from the boss of this Guys, towards, wait… Orochimaru, what has he to do with all of this!" Kiba-sensei asked confused.

"How about we ask our captured ones!" I suggested and he nodded-

"Well, care to clear things up for us!" We asked the only conscious member of the Temple raiders.

"Pah, I won´t say something!" the same stated.

"Are you sure about this, we also can send you towards Konoha, we have our investigation and interrogation specialist Ibiki Morino and Ino Yamanaka there, I bet they would love to take a look in your brain!" Kiba-Sensei threated, while the Thief began to shiver, but he remained silent.

"Pah, Sensei seriously, I bet we will find out anything by ourselves, how about , I will make him a head shorter in one second flat, without making too much of a mess!" I stated, unsheathing my Flying Guillotine, letting the blade-disc out, with a sick psycho grin, creeping the living daylights out of the Man.

"Stop, no, please, let me live, I will tell you anything!" The man stammered, being so much more talkative all of a sudden.

"We are, better said, we were a tiny but rich Clan of Shinobi, but ever since the Last war we lost on missions and therefore we soon had to give up on being Shinobi, we left our home to travel through the world, but nowhere we were needed, so we began to live the life of thieves to rent.

On one of such an occasion we met this guy called Orochimaru, he said he would pay us 30 million Ryo if we would steal the Fox Statues for him, so we did as told, we wanted to get them to him tomorrow noon, so we could get the money!" He stated.

"Orochimaru said so, hmmm, do you know of why he need the statues?" Kiba-sensei asked.

"Sorry I have no clue about this!" The man stated quickly.

"Are you sure about that?!" I asked him, with an unmeasurable gruesome expression.

"A-a-all I know, Is that he said, that if all Statues where missing, hopefully IT would appear!" The man stammered in horror.

"IT, what is IT?!" We asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don´t know, but according to rumours shall a ghost live within the Temple, which only appears on Full Moon nights, like in 2 weeks, perhaps it´s him what that Orochimaru Guy meant!" The thief said.

"Thanks for the Information!" Kiba-sensei stated and hit the thief unconscious.

"Well then Kids, we better get back towards the others, if these guys were in contact with Orochimaru, we might get in trouble!" Kiba-sensei stated and we nodded, we took the wood box into scroll, for easier transportation.

"I hope this mission won´t get any worse!" I stated.

"I hope your mission at least, is progressing better than ours, Sarada!?" I mumbled, as I looked up to the stars.

Sarada´s Pov:

Shikadai´s plan fully succeeded, we managed to get towards the Boss room of this Dungeon, so at least was Senpou saying.

To be honest we still stood before the giant door, waiting to get our Audience by the Lord of the Ninekos.

"Do you think, we still can pull this stunt off, I mean as soon as they get to know that we are no cats at all, they will be hunting us down and we are here on unknown terrain, while these cats know every single corner of this bastion!" Sen asked me whispering, as we sat in the waiting room.

"No idea but we better do, or else this mission was all for nothing, it is a dumb one anyways, I mean, getting a paw print of Nekomata, the Boss of the Ninekos, how difficult can that be, sure he has many guards but still, they are cats, we are humans, of course we are in terms of Jutsus more capable than they are, they are perhaps more skilled in agility Taijutsu, but still… what could possibly go wrong!" I stated to her.

Oh how wrong I should be.

A Few moments Later:

"Didn´t you said nothing could go wrong!" Senpou stated, as she laid on the ground, caught and tied up like a package.

"Well I can be mistaken too sometimes can´t I!" I said annoyed.

"Well, well, it has been years, since the last time some Humans dared to enter this Bastion, I have to say that I am astounded, that you managed to get so near me, without being caught; let me ask, I can thank Nekobaa for this pleasant but unexpected joy, can´t i!" The Giant Cat, standing menacing before us, stated with a toothy grin.

"Tell me, what gives me the pleasure to make your acquaintance?" The Cat-lord asked.

"We are here to receive a Paw print from you, unfortunately Nekobaa lost hers by Tamaki-sans Move towards Konoha!" Konohamaru stated honestly.

"I see, so you thought you simply could enter my Bastion and get it from me Hahaha, foolish humans, didn´t Nekobaa warned you, I am no one to easily mess with!" The giant white Cat stated and we stared at Konoha-sensei.

"No we didn´t knew about this, I unfortunately forgot to ask her what kind of Nineko you are!" Our sensei stated sweat dropping.

"Hehe, well now you know… unfortunately for you my dear guest, can´t I let you go so easy, not after you caused this sacrilege, to enter so easily in my Bastion, aiming to take my Pride, my Paw-print!" Nekomata said, with a huge Cheshire grin.

"You will have to earn your freedom, Guards, get them to the Prison and set up the Neko meiro (Cat Maze), it´s time to finally get something enjoyable in this bastion, it has been awfully boring in the last years!" Nekomata ordered and we were transported off, the ropes we were tied up with, seemed to be made of a special Chakra resistant material.

"You can try all the way, these ropes won´t get off, they can only being untied by a special jutsu only we Ninekos know!" The guards stated, as they brought us through a corridor, walking downstairs towards the Prison-cells.

"So here you can stay until you are called for the games, out of caution each one of you is going to be locked up in another cell!" The guards said, as they showed me in a cell and my Teammates in others.

"What´s this Neko meiro about anyway?" I asked.

"Oh it is a really popular game in here, a hindrance parkour, where you have to be extra agile and have a lot of good reflexes, many of our top guards are participating to test the players, mostly it are Cats who have fallen from grace before our Lord, it is the ultimate test to get back ones pride, just let me tell you, it´s not at all as easy as it might sound.

Who Knows, perhaps our lord will grant you freedom, if you are able to succeed in this game, anyways you better not fail, well then good night, you better sleep now, you will need all of your forces!" The Guards laughed, as they loosed up the Ropes.

They were shoving us in the cells, before rapidly closing the cells door, and activating some kind of switch, I tried to use my fireball Jutsu to burn away the door, as soon as I could use my hands again.

However my chakra was instantly sucked up by the door, I then tried to punch it open, with all force I could bring up, however beside of the sudden intense pain in my hand, the door didn´t even gained a scratch, as if it feeds on chakra to ensure its own stability.

"Goddammit, Konoha-sensei, in just what did you dragged us here again!?" I shouted enraged.

"Hey how I am supposed to know, that this guy is so big and so strong!" Sensei asked me annoyed from the cell next to me.

"Isn´t it the mission of the Team leader, to ask for the most trivial information about a mission!?" I asked him.

"Dammit Sarada, I am only human too, I too am allowed to forget something sometimes, don´t think I don´t know that now is the worst of times for that, but it unfortunately happened.

"Geez, now we are caught up in here, and I bet we have not even any kind of connection towards Mirai-sensei or anyone else not!" I mumbled, checking my handy, it had no bar at all.

"Dammit, this is the worst day ever!" I said as I looked around in the cell, it was not really appealing however also not uncomfortable, I had a small table and a chair, as well as a plank bed.

"Well guess we can only try to escape as soon as they are opening the doors, guess we might as well sleep a bit!" Konoha-sensei stated, and I heard the plank-bed squeaking.

"Are you serious,…, goddammit!" I mumbled in bright annoyance.

"Sarada-san, do you think we will find a way back home!" Senpou asked, sounding worried.

"I hope, so, I really do!" I said.

"Oh Bolt, I wish I could see your comforting smile right now, if only you would be here too!" I thought as I looked up to the stars, through the window in my Prison Cell, before I fell asleep after a while.

I shall not be ready for what I was about to encounter, not at all.

Bolt´s Pov:

I was looking upwards to the Sky, the others of my Team were sleeping already since several hours, quite soundly to be honest, while Himawari and Her team where having guard duty.

"The day was quite turbulent today wasn´t it?" I asked my little sister.

"It sure was, first your waking and then all this running, before we were ambushed by these guys!" she stated.

"I just hope that tomorrow think will get more relax!" She said, as she sat herself next to my improvised bed.

"I sure hope this too!" I replied as I was looking at her, we smiled at each other before we were looking up in the sky.

It was silent for a long while, I almost thought she has fallen asleep.

"Nii-san, do you think Sarada is alright?" She asked.

"I hope so, I am quite worried thought, however we speak about Sarada, no matter what, she always finds a way out of every situation, after all she´s a proud Uchiha, and she´s strong, I have to know this, after all I am here teammate!" I stated and she smiled.

"I guess you are right, she won't simply give up, no matter in which situation, she always comes up with a strategy, she´s almost like Shikadai, though far more good looking!" Himawari stated and I chuckled.

It was silent again, although not uncomfortable.

"Bolt, why did you disguised yourself first?" She asked out of the blue.

"Well, actually I didn´t wanted you to think, that I came to control you, I thought you might feel like I was waiting for you to fail, only to overtake and show you how much more better I could make things!" I said and she nodded.

"If you think so of me, I have to say, you really are stupid, as if I ever would think this way, I am glad when you are here, I fell a little more secure with you on my side, Nii-san, I could never feel annoyed by your presence, after all you are next to Mom and Dad my most beloved person!" She said and I sniffed, being moved to tears by her words.

"I guess you are right, I should not have disguised myself out of unjustified claims, I should have come at you all unmasked and honest, telling you that I was here to keep you guys safe!" I said.

"However in my ears, this sounds like an excuse because I don´t would trust your own strength!" I said in though.

"To me it sounds as if you are simply worried about me and this is the greatest gift you can give someone, Kindness and Care, being worried about someone means you like this person much!" She said and I nodded.

"Say Bolt, do you like Sarada too!?" She asked in childish innocents.

"In a Way, yes I guess I do!" I replied.

"How much!?" She asked cocky.

"Hey, stop riddling me with Questions, you better watch out for any kind of danger!" I stated.

"I am doing this right now, so c´mon tell me!" She begged.

"Alright, alright, well I like her a lot I would say, I am always concerned when she get´s hurt wherever through her own self or through others, also I am worried about her when I am not close to her, just like now, I tend to become overly pessimistic thinking of the worst possible scenario, so long until I see her again, all lively and safe.

In these moments I just have this urge, but I control it very hard, to hug her and hold her tight!" I said and she looked at me with shining eyes.

"Seems like you like Sarada, really a lot more than I thought!" she stated and smiled.

I chuckled and kept on gazing in the stars.

I closed my eyes ready to sleep.

I don't know how long I was sleeping, but I had a strange dream, I though to see Sarada crying, all alone in a dark place, only illuminated by a few candles.

"Bolt" I heard her whimpering.

"Sarada!" I replied, before everything faded away and went black.

And so I slept, not in the slightest prepared, for what was about to come, not that I was the only one though.

AN: A new Chapter is done, hope you like it, The Bonus Story will continue in the next Chapter, as you know I will make chapters about the month until the Chunin Final, from each, supposed to become, couple one, before it goes over to the Chunin exam.

So all the current Chapters will vanish one by one and come back in later chapters and in alternate version
