Hey guys I'm back from the dead and ready to write again. So lately I've been doing college classes and my job. Both hard to get some free time from but now I have some. Hopefully you'll like the chapter and review on how you think about it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any other concept that I may use.

It was a sunny day and the sky was clear. There were children out playing in the park with there family's. But the sight that many saw was the male sitting on the bench looking out towards the sky. He had black hair that went to his shoulders and was loose while his clothes also were black. As people passed him they commented about him and why he was at the park. It wasn't but a few minutes later that the male noticed someone walking directly up to him. He spared a glance and was happy to see that it was Tsunami.

"Time to eat?" said the dark schemed person

Tsunami looked at the sun and back down and replied "Yeah Naruto it's time to eat, lets go it's on me."

Naruto decided to follow Tsunami. As he was following him he noticed that Tsunami seemed on edge.

"You know you should probably tell me what your thinking." Said Naruto as he stopped.

Tsunami glanced back and stopped as well. He sighed and walked closer to Naruto.

"I was talking a friend earlier."

Naruto looked at him, "Then whats wrong."

"I think that somethings going to happen very soon and we're going to be dragged into it."

Naruto stood there for a moment

"Does this have to do with your clan and Soi-fon"

With a shake of his head Tsunami gave Naruto all the confirmation he would need.

Naruto had thought as much. Tsunami never really discussed how his life when he was in his clan was like. But now was a good time as ever.

"Tsunami what do you think of your clan exactly"

Tsunami thought about the answer but hesitated. "We can talk about this over dinner."

Tsunami and Naruto settled in the booth of a newer restaurant and had already ordered.

Tsunami looked at Naruto and seemed to contemplate something "Why do you want to know?"

"Because everyone is motivated by something, and I think whatever lies in your past motivates you other than just our goal."

Tsunami seemed to accept the answer and nodded "Okay then I will tell you why."

"In the Kurosaki clan almost every child is a female and the rare males are used as either bargaining chips or servants to other families in place of favors. I was neither. Instead I was to be married off to a female that was shown to be the strongest."

"Why was that?" Naruto questioned.

Tsunami looked around "Because of my descendants."

"Your descendants were the reason?"

"Remember Naruto that just because Aizen was a male doesn't mean my clan didn't see him as strong. While they did do anything to make him seem lesser he was one of the strongest. As such his blood flows through my veins, and hey what would you do to get a good heir with what you see as a living waste. To my clan I was nothing short of a chip that could be used for there personal gain. My mom was never around me and instead mingled with her friends. My dad... I never knew my dad. I can only guess he had a fate that I would have had but didn't live to see the child. That's why I really don't like my clan. They would rather use someone as a tool before anything else. Overall I'm glad that I ran away,and it's not like they wanted me back until they figured out the whole bloodline thing. Now that the momentary flashback is over I want to eat so let's wait for our food and then get out of here."

30 minutes later and both Naruto and Tsunami were on the road walking towards their shared apartment. The light of day was already fading as they got closer to home. Naruto was in thought as he was walking before he saw that Tsunami had stopped. He saw Tsunami staring at a silver haired girl. Tsunami gave him a look that said he would be there later. Naruto nodded understanding that he needed some space. Tsunami would do the same for him.

Tsunami walked towards the white haired girl at a slow pace. The girl slowly walked towards him to. Both kept walking until they were right near each other. Before Tsunami could say one thing a hand reached out and slapped him. Tsunami looked forward and saw that the girl had her hand outstretched and was slightly shaking. He again was about to talk before the girl hugged him and began crying into his girl stopped for a few seconds to look at his face, her almond eyes staring into his.

Tsunami sensing the chance spoke "It's been a while Ginase"

The identified Ginase looked down and started talking"Do you know how worried I was that I would never see you again. That you would be married off. I was terrified."

Tsunami flinched and looked away. He was pretty close to Ginase and her mother before he left. "I'm sorry okay. When I left I needed to get as far away from everything so that I could live a life that I would be able to dictate. Not my mom or some clan elder. You know this Ginase. Your mom knows just as well."

Ginase seemed to go into thought and looked back up at Tsunami. "Fine but you're going to talk to me when I meet you again okay. I can't lose you again especially not to Soi-fon. Be safe."

With the last words Ginase parted off and started walking to what Tsunami could guess was her residence. As he looked towards the sky he noticed how the stars were glittering in the sky and started walking home. He had a lot to think through.

Meanwhile Naruto had taken a detour to a old place that he went to as a kid. As he neared the destination he noticed that there was less civilians or anybody around. When he arrived at the location he looked right in front of him. in his sight was an old swing. Naruto remembered many things from his childhood. Naruto let a smile grace his features as he took in what was his life. He had made a friend and said friend stuck by his side so far. Both of the them had come so far and had even become pupils of a great teacher. Naruto looked towards the stars. While Naruto had gotten far already he hoped to go farther. He started walking back but stopped to look back. This was where the first steps had been taken. And the ones taken now wouldn't be the last ones. With those thoughts behind him Naruto made his way back home.

Tsunami was slowly walking down the street in thought before he noticed what seemed like a shadow moved. He looked around and noticed that there was civilians still out so whoever was following him wouldn't make a move yet. He continued walking breathing in the brisk air. he continued to walk and slowly sped up. I took him a moment but he finally arrived at his apartment. He quickly went to his door and opened it before he rushed in. He locked the door before he put his back to the door. He slid down the door before he looked around and saw that there was another occupant in the apartment. Naruto was sitting at the table eating sushi while staring at Tsunami weirdly.

Naruto finished his piece before coughing" Interesting night huh."

Tsunami looked at Naruto dryly."Why, because of the whole running in here thing?"

"No your clothing is baggy suggesting you wanted to get the fuck out of whatever you were in."

Tsunami stared at Naruto."You know what, I hate when your right."

Naruto chuckled. He was seldom wrong when it came to Tsunami. Of course this came with the fact that the two practically raised eachother.

"So what caused you to rush in? It's very unlike you to rush in the door at all."

Tsunami got up and headed to the table. He took a seat right across Naruto.

"I think a person I know was stalking me."

Naruto looked at Tsunami in thought before he decided to make a guess. "Was the person Soi-Fon?"

Tsunami shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly I don't know who it was, but I do know that it was someone we may know because they targeted me near the house. That fact makes the list of possibilities short.-Sigh- I hate our lives sometimes."

Naruto walked into the living room of their apartment and sat on the couch. He now was in thought.

"This person probably watches us, so be on your guard. For now the only thing we can do is watch our backs."

Tsunami nodded his head. The things just didn't add up but when did anything actually add up.

"I think we should call it a night Naruto today been a long day for us. Plus we do need to meet up with Grandmaster at the beginning of morning so that we can get our first C-rank mission."

Naruto sighed getting off the couch he had just sat at. He turned off the lights around the room before he and Tsunami made their way towards the back of the apartment. At the end of the hallway the two friends gave a hug before going into their opposite rooms to sleep. Tsunami got into his bed and slowly fell asleep thinking of his white haired friend. Naruto fell asleep thinking about how things would further progress.

After all he did have something to do.

Finally done with this chapter. Hope you enjoyed.

As always
