Hinata looked at the group of her beautiful children as she smiled looking between her little girl and boy. They were her pride and joy and she cared so greatly for them, and was going to be as good of a mother for the pair of them as possible. She held the book in her hands as she looked at the chapter that was in hands. She smiled as she moved a bit closer to Naruto as her eyes looked on the first page of the book. "Well now, un, let us get back to the story then," she said softly.

Chapter 3: The Agreement

Pakura was having a hell of a day, she was going to the mist to try to make peace between the sand and the mist, that morning she thought that her life was going on a great path, she was a hero to her people, she had made a difference and made peace between the sand and the rock, now she could try to do so between the sand and the mist. This would give them the peace they needed. She knew the weakness of the sand and how they were losing so much money for the war. She knew that peace would be able to give her village a chance to gain back it strength in time and perhaps she would be able see her home reach the same level again as any of the other villages and not fall deeper behind the other groups.

Now though, Pakura knew that she couldn't go back, that her village was turning its back on peace, they were going to kill her to prevent peace and she bet they were even going to blame the rock to get that war going again. Her anger and hatred of her own village, and how she could see them for what they were especially the leadership of her village, she would be dead in that moment if not for the man that she was following in that moment. This man put his life at risk to save her life, perhaps twice. Yet, she knew the rumors and stories of this warrior, but what she had seen had not matched up with what she heard about this killer.

They were headed to Konoha, she knew the village well, they were allies of the sand, and she was very cautious. What would they do when they found out the assassin of the mist was coming into their town, they had no reason to trust this man. He could be going into a horrible situation as she traveled with him, she looked ahead along the path quietly, moving quickly but worried about the outcome of this. She felt this could be the time that she was able to pay Sengero back for saving her life. She knew that she was known as a diplomat and she had dealing with Konoha as well. She figured they would trust her more then they would trust him.

"Sengero, I will take the lead when we get to the village, just follow my lead and we will meet with the hokage, I have had talks with him before, I think I can handle this," she said to him, showing her seriousness with her tone. She figured she had to make the point, that Sengero would not understand that she needed to take the lead in diplomatic issues.

Sengero nodded his head as he looked at her, she could tell that he understood her seriousness as they approached the village, she took the lead as he followed her into the village. She was stopped by two chunnin at the gates who gave her a serious look as she returned the look but smiled as well.

"We are here to see the hokage, we are here to work with him we mean no harm, I am Pakura of the Sand, this is Sengero of the Mist, we are here to work on making peace, we were offered to arrive by the hokage, just tell him I am here and he will understand if you wish, if not, you can tell him that you are the reason he can't advance his reason and aims for peace."

She looked at them as she knew the hokage was wanting to end this war anymore than anyone else. These people would know her and they would know her aims as well. She waited as one of them left and then headed up to the hokage's office to check, they were forced to wait there at the gate, it was odd, but she knew that they would come back and allow them both in to the village. She looked at the man and could see he was a bit worried, there was a pair of powerful shinobi just asking to enter not fighting but there was always a threat he would be on the front lines of some fight.

It was a moment longer before the man was back and then they others were allowed to head back into tower. It was not that hard, as they arrived and found Hiruzen waiting for the two of them. She smiled as she took the lead, as she knew this man, while she knew that Sengero and he had never meet. "Lord Hokage, I come to talk to you and ask you for a large favor," Pakura asked as he looked at him. "Sengero and I are defecting from our villages. Lord Hokage, the sand attempted to kill me this morning to prevent peace from happening. They have shown me their true colors, I can not go back and Sengero cannot go back to his village, he saved my life today from the death that the Sand had tried to set up for me. "We both wish to live here, as we know this is a village of peace loving people and I know you want peace more than anyone else."

"Um mom which hokage are we talking about, are we talking about the one before our grandpa, or the one after," Boruto asked not remembering which one was around at that point.

"The one before and after actually, um the third hokage," Hinata replied quickly to give him the information about which Hokage was in charge.

"Pakura," Hiruzen said as she looked at her hearing this was troubling to know their ally was willing to kill their chief diplomat to cause the war to go on. That worried her more then anything, that he couldn't trust his allies but perhaps he should be used to this given the nature of his allies and how weak the alliances were. "You ask a large order, you would be hard to take in an ninja from an allied village would look bad. Then Sengero, well I do not know how our people would trust someone who has well killed a number of our ninja in the past."

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I understand," Sengero spoke up catching Pakura a bit off guard as she looked over at him. "How about a trade a fair trade something we can do to prove our good intentions to you, a way for us to prove that we will be worth allowing into your village."

"Yes, we know you want to end this war more then anyone, we can help this happen. I have connections in Rock, I will go up and work out the peace between the Rock and leaf," Pakura commented as she looked at him. "I will get this peace agreed to and we will end this war, with the war between you two over the fighting between the rest will come to a close in a timely manner. Sengero here will be my bodyguard, he will watch my back, and the Rock respect strength and by him going it will show the fact you can get powerful ninja to join your side and I will feel more comfortable as well on my journey. Plus you have nothing to lose, if we fail then two foreign ninja die, if we succeed, then the war is over and you have peace."

Hiruzen looked at her and she knew she had won the argument, she smiled, as she waited for the reply knowing the plan of hers had worked.

"Fine, I hope you to the most success, we will give you some supplies, stuff that was captured earlier, and I will let our agent up near Taki fill you in on the Rock activities near the front, good luck, I think you will need it," Hiruzen replied.

Hinata closed the book, "Well now, that his the third chapter, I um will go make some snacks for everyone," she said handing off the book to Naruto, "Well, I will let you continue, um I will be back in a moment or two."
