Orihime

She rounded the corner past the Hokage Tower and headed towards the apartment with an armful of groceries. As she passed a slight disturbance in reiatsu revealed her stalker. Sandiame had told her someone would be following her and that she could call him 'Suiko.'

Inoue ignored him for the time being so that she could think on how she might get home one day. As Urahara-san could not have known why or how she had disappeared, only knowing that she had. She would receive no help from her friends or soul society; she was on her own. Inoue would have to find the man that brought her here and ask him to take her back to her home town.

Satisfied that she now had a plan she began humming happily when she glanced across a curious picture. Across the lot was what appeared to be a school; a young child sat in a small swing with his head down. Everyone seemed to have already left.

*flashback*

Her hands were cold and her cheeks were freezing. She was trying to build the last snow bunny. Waiting for her brother to get home so that she could show him what she had made but in this task she was alone.

"What are you making there?"

Inoue frowned and sighed before putting up her brightest smile and began to make her way to the kid. If nothing else she would make her brother proud.

Kabuto

The hospital was abuzz with gossip over this strange new woman who had a strange Kekki Genkai who could heal any wound. Perhaps Orochimaru would enjoy hearing about this new person. It was time to 'investigate' her profile and request some 'time off'.

Shikamaru

He was being tested he was sure, trying to figure out his intelligence and compare it with his fathers'.

He made sure to miss 30 percent of the questions; the minimum passing grade. The Yamanaka with long blonde hair stared at him with a calculating expression as if to pull his intelligence right out of his mind.

He yawned and asked if he could leave.

"Not until you try to the best of your ability." he had said

"How troublesome."

Danzo

He would do as much as needed to ensure that Konoha was the strongest and stood on top. Whoever he had to kill would be and he would become Hokage though whatever means necessary.

He had awoken the Sharingan to its third level but know he was at a loss as to how to awaken the Mangekyo. He simply did not have anyone close to him.

Perhaps it was time to visit Rain country once more.

Uryuu

He was too exhausted to continue and there did not seem to be an end in sight. He had to rest; he laid his back against a higher block before his heavy eyes began to shut.

He wondered if he would ever get out. His patience was starting to wear thin.

Itachi

He had finished a routine mission and before he had even made it through the door his father had accosted him.

"Later tonight you will attend your first meeting with the clan elders. There are many things that you should be privy to as you will be the next clan heir."

"Of course, father."

AN and general Disclaimer - the ball is a-moving now!

Question- is there anything Danzo wouldn't do in the name of the village?! I went and re-watched some of the episodes with him in it only to remember how absolutely ruthless he was.

Also how young was itachi when the war ended?

Did all the Fullbringers have hollow attacks bring their powers to light? or were there other triggers?

PS: let me know if there are any mistakes and I will try to fix them!
