So life happened among other things and so far I despise 2019. I lost another friend towards the end of 2018 going into 2019, and then my microwave caught fire. I also due to my illness I got unwell and depression, as we all know, is a bitch. But hey at least I finally managed to update and screw Danzo and his assholeness.


"She said

This is not about a poltergeist

Not about a phantom that glows at night

But there are things we don't know and I

Don't have another choice but an open mind"-Mike Shinoda


Sakura sat happily next to her newfound friend(even if was a friendship made under duress.) and munched down on cinnamon rolls which happened to be the other girl's absolute favorite thing to eat. "What clan are you from, Hinata-hime?" she chirped cutely.

"A-ano," Hinata whispered shyly as she poked her two fingers together. "I'm from the Hyuga clan, Sakura-chan."

"Sugoi!" Sakura gasped amazed, eyes twinkling madly underneath the ceiling light. "I've never met a Hyuga before!" she beamed happily as she slid her last two cinnamon buns unto Hinata's plate. "You seemed to like them."

"Arigato." Hinata shyly thanked her cheeks growing red. "Ne, Sakura-chan?"

"Hai?"

"C-can you seriously see g-ghost's?" Hinata whispered still trying to comprehend what had happened earlier that evening.

"Of course!" Sakura chirped happily. "Sakura has always seen Tobi."

"Who is T-Tobi-kun?" Hinata asked of her new friend. (Kaa-san will be pleased she made one.)

"Hinata-hime, Tobi is on the mountain silly!" she giggled out. "Everyone knows who Tobi-kun is!"

Behind her, one of the Anbu began to cough violently as he realized a three-year-old was calling the second Hokage in a starkly familiar name. "Haruno-san?" he rasped out.

"Yes, Neko-chan?"

The Anbu nearly tripped at being called Neko-chan while he determinedly tried to ignore the snickering of his comrades that also were in the room guarding the two little girls. "Haruno-san, you cannot call the honorable second Hokage, Tobi-chan," he informed monotonously. "It is considered highly rude to do so."

Sakura looked utterly confused, "Ne, Neko-chan, Tobi-kun said I could call him that." she confessed with a cute tilt of her head.

"Haruno-san that's seemingly impossible for him to give that type of permission," he stated flatly.

Sakura started to fidget in her seat tears beginning to gather in the corner of her eyes while a look of visible frustration found itself on her face. "A-ano." Hinata stuttered softly as she gave her friend a concerned look. "Sakura-chan can see Tobirama-sama" she insisted on her behalf.

"Hyuga-san," Neko began slowly with a drawl, "Tobirama-sama died several years before you both were born," he explained. "So there is no way Senju-sama could give such permission."

"Neko-chan, don't you know why they are here?" Karasu spoke up from behind his commanding officer using the tiny human's nickname for him.

Neko gave a grunt from underneath his mask, "It's for the kidnapping right?" he mused out.

"Well in part yes," Karasu agreed as he gave a small wave to the two girls who were staring intently at them. "Shikaku-sama noticed Haruno-san was possessed by a ghost which means Senju-sama likely did give the girl permission if she saw him as a ghost."

Neko opened his mouth to reply but was cut off with the door to the council room opened and the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku stood out with a tight frown on his face. "Anbu-san." Fugaku began with a deep soothing voice with a tinge of ice to it. "Hokage-sama would like to see Haruno-san now."

"Haruno-san why don't you follow Uchiha-sama to see the Hokage?" Neko gruffly told the three-year-old who sat still with wide green eyes staring at Fugaku.

"No!" she protested leaning back as if to flee from them.

The rest of the Anbu watched in awe as Fugaku's usually stern face became soft as his brown eyes lit up with kindness while a comforting smile replaced his usual frown. "Sakura-chan, the Hokage would like to see you for just a few minutes. I promise you can trust me and him. Do you know Tobi-chan?"

Sakura gave a large defiant pout, "Of course I know Tobi-chan!" she indignantly replied.

"Well did you know Hokage-sama was taught by Tobi-chan?" Fugaku responded with a twinkle of amusement in his hazel-gray eyes at calling the second Hokage Tobi-chan.

"Sugoi!" Sakura uttered as rushed over to Fugaku with awe-filled eyes "Fugu-chan, Hokage-sama knows Tobi-chan like that?" she pleaded childishly.

"Yes," Fugaku responded not even blinking at his newfound nickname by Sakura as he expertly ignored the soft snort coming from the ANBU. "Hokage is pleased to meet you, Sakura-chan. He has heard wonderful things about you saving your friend."

"Then, let's go!" Sakura chirped happily as she gripped Fugaku hand and practically dragged him towards the council's room. "Bye, Hinata-hime!" she threw over her shoulder as the door gave a quiet shut behind her.

Neko felt slightly insulted at how easy it was for the Uchiha head to get the pink-haired child to follow him. "Ano," stuttered Hinata softly as she tried to wipe her sticky mustache away. "When will my tou-sama come to get me?"

"As soon as the meeting ends, Hyuga-chan, "Sparrow responded as she sat down a coloring book. "Why don't you color a pretty picture for your tou-sama?"


Tobirama was displeased with how all his students had turned out as he stood with displeasure written on his ghostly face. Two of his students were mere puppets to the third who became a warmonger enriched with a bitter and jealous heart. The apprentice he thought of as a son turned into a blind-hearted fool that leads to a slow incline of his beloved brother's village. "How come you've kept such a valuable skill from us and potentially Konoha as well." Danzo accused none of the others being mistaken for the unhidden greed in his accusation.

"Under the Clan Gathering Act of subsection two, article four; The clans are entitled to their clan secrets that involve their rules, jutsus, bloodlines, marriages, and other things that pertain to their clan as long as it does not affect or cause harm to Konohagakure," Shibi stated coldly to Danzo eyes sharply watching the aged man who had seemed to be sniffing around his only nephew the last several weeks.

"Well, Haruno-san is not viable for the Clan Act, I still maintain the fact either her parents lied of their origins or it seems a new bloodline has appeared." Danzo sneered turning to Hiruzen. "The child should be removed immediately from the home."

"I suppose that means you would like to sweep her into your shadows no doubt!" snapped Tsume mother instincts rising in hackles while her teeth slowly sharped as she glared with killer intent in her hazel eyes.

Kuromaru gave a threatening growl himself as he remembered the shadows that had lingered around Hana when she had been born for a while.

Tobirama was trying to not kill them all when the door opened and Sakura clamored in clinging shyly to an Uchiha of all people. Tobirama eyes gleamed with malice as he turned to watch the shit show he knew was going to happen.

"Sakura-chan." Hiruzen greeted kindly with his grandfatherly air to try and ease herself around him.

"Do not fall for his kindly act, Saku-chan." Warned Tobirama as he moved to stand behind Sakura and placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "Hiruzen was my student once so I taught him all I know."

"Jiji-san." Sakura bowed eyes keenly watching him like a young baby hawk.

"How are you tonight, Sakura-chan?" Hiruzen inquired as he observed that the child before him was indeed rather bright for her age and if it wasn't for her doll-like looks he would have been fooled but he felt the lingering shadows that seemed to seep and linger around her.

"Tired, Jiji-san." yawns Sakura as she rubs her eyes sleepily. "When can I see my kaa-chan and tou-chan?" she whines out a tad bit.

"Your parents just went to fill out a police report and will be back here soon." Hiruzen kindly explained. "We all here wanted to talk to you about something first if you would so kindly help us."

"You want to know about me seeing ghosts." she matter-factly muttered with reluctance.

"Yes, Sakura-chan, the ghosts." this time Inochi spoke kindly causing Sakura to turn and become faced with a young man with long ash-blonde hair tied up in a pony-tail with blue-green eyes. "How long have you been able to see them?"

"You can trust him, Sakura-chan," Tobirama whispered to her gently. "The Yamanaka clan are known for having members who can see spirits." He informs with a quirk of a fond smile. "I talk to Inochi-san's mother when she has her bedtime tea."

"Since as long as I could remember, Tobi-chan and others have been there for Sakura-chan to see." she childishly answered.

"I see." Inochi hummed thoughtfully as he took in the dense air around that felt both calm and full of weariness similar to his mother's. "You have a strong gift much like my kaa-san," he informed gently as his eyes flickered around the room.

"She can see people too?" her eyes go wide with fake awe and she mentally pats herself on the back when he believes her. (Tobirama lying lessons he gives her do pay off.)

"Hai, she can see them too."

"Enough with the pleasantries!" Barked a cold voice causing Sakura to jump in shock. "Girl!" the man sitting in the darkest corner of the room demanded her attention. "You need to learn to control your power and that will take strict discipline and control which means no parents to coddle you anymore." he spat out coldly causing Sakura to stumble back with a tremble.

"No parents?" She wobbled out tears automatically filling up in her green eyes. "Kaa-chan! Tou-chan!" Sakura sobbed out with fear as she reached out and clutched unto Tobirama's shirt.

Tobirama eyes glinted madly as he gently laid a glowing hand on top of Sakura's pink head. "Forgive me, Sakura," he muttered as his eyes and hers began to glow.
