Third Party POV:

Yukiko decided to return to the party where all the current clan heads are at she has a very mischievous looked on her face right now she would admit she is a bit sadistic but then again every person has a secret every now and then for a whole month she and her daughter had planned the entire thing now that phase one is done it's time for phase two and she is certain it will please the clan heads greatly for the entertainment that is about to occur

"*clap clap* may I have everyone attention please" everyone turn their head towards her, giving her their an undivided attention

"Thank you now then as you may have notice all of our children are in a different location in the compound now before you asked why let me assure you that your children are safe and sound they are currently playing a new game called Ninja Tag that my daughter invented herself" giving them a proud looked of her daughter genius

"Ninja Tag?! What is so impressive about it if the name already inclined to what it is?! Surely there is more to it then that?!" Takashi Uchiha decided to speak out his thought he didn't see what was so impressive about it at all it just sounded like an ordinary game

"Oh I can assure you Takashi-sama this game is more than what meet the eye, this game isn't just a simple game of tag, oh no this game is bay far gonna be a lot more entertaining this not so simple game is gonna show us what our children is capable of but why should I explained it when I could simply just show it to you" she gave them her devious smile

She then brought out the remote (yeah I made the technology a little better okay only a little) and press a button suddenly a wall open and 4 big boxes of tv show up then it suddenly show them an image of there children gathering around together and talking to each other she then turn towards the parent giving them a satisfying smile with that glint in her eyes that sparkle with mischievous and fun

"Shall we listen in on them and see what they are up too?! Surely you are all so curious as am I to see what is going on?!" all the parents nodded at that they will not denied that they are curious so without further adieu she put more volume to hear their conversation right now Miyako is talking to Fugaku

"Well Fugaku i promised you this game will definitely be up your alley *taking out her scroll then she bit her thumb did a couple hand sign then put it on top of her scroll* *poof* a lot of parents gasp at what they just saw a mere child that is only 3 years old can already do a sealing scroll technique some were impress while other were a bit jealous or piss off they just kept looking into the screen to see what will happen nexts *She took one of the toy kunai and start twirling it around her finger* she then spokes to Fugaku again "you see Fugaku this isn't any regular toy kunai oh no *she then stop twirling it* this is a seal toy kunai *throwing it to him he then caught it and took a good look at it* you see whoever is it will have a seal writing on their wrist informing everyone who is it, now whoever is it must only used this seal kunais in order to capture us why?! Easy these special kunai will seal whoever got touch by it, it will then wrap around the person that have been tag and will render them immobile to moved and these three *pointing her thumb at the three preteens* will take them back to the prisoner/ safe zone they will also be bodyguards of the zone so if you want to free any of the prisoners or if you want to try to escape yourself then you gotta step up your game because these 3 are chunins and they don't hold back now whoever got tag the least will be declare the winner and don't try to lie or hide it these three will know another thing when the game start the person who is it must wait for 5 minutes before he/she begin their turn the winner will not only received a prized but will also have bragging rights for the next year there are only 2 rules in this game there are no intent to kill them or to harm them too severely other then that it fair game you can used any ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, fūinjutsu, juinjutsu, senjutsu, even your Kekkei Genka, you can go anywhere you want provided that it stay in the south and east wing if you go to the north and the west wing then you are automatically disqualified also whoever is it has a time limits for 20 minutes to capture all of us and if not then oh well is there anything else that I may have forgotten...Hmm...oh yeah mom said she left us some few surprises on this game don't know what it is but I am sure it's gonna be interesting I think that is all now any question?!" Giving them her wicked grin

The parents started looking at one another with a grin and mischievous look on their faces now they are getting excited about the game themselves it's was then the Hokage decided to speak

"Hmmm...I see now...your child created a game to help them hound their skill in a fun way...very impressive indeed...I am curious though...who will be the victorious in this game of hers?!" you can tell that he is enjoying himself

After he said that a lot of parents started betting and claiming their child will win the game and so on and so forth just then Nawaki came into the room looking for his big sis to give her the update to what is going on once he did find her he immediately start running towards her

"Big sis! I just finish setting up the trap all over the south and east wing now what else should I do next?!" Nawaki has been busy thee entire time because he really wanna make sure his little sister Miyako has a great birthday party especially since this is a good excuse to pull a prank

"Here sweetie when you see someone near the trap you press the button k" the mother gave Nawaki the remote to activate any trap that has been set up she had told her daughter about the surprises and hope she enjoy them just as much as she is going to be (fufufufu...this is gonna be good)

Daichi POV:

Once the game started I run as fast as I could I look around the compound the first thing I need to do is fine a place to hide and conceal my chakra I open one off the door and it turn out to be the supply closet (perfect) I know for certain that the Inuzuka Clan relied on their smell and hearing so if I stay quiet and get myself mixed with some of these chemicals she won't find me and that what I did once I settle into a comfortable position I started hearing footsteps

"Come on Kuromaru! I know I smell Daichi-kun scent somewhere close by!" *bark* they were just outside the door I kept myself quiet, I was even able to keep my heart beat into a steady and slow pace years of practice in the marines goes a long way I then start hearing her speak to her companion again

"Dammit! I don't hear or smell anything anymore I know Daichi-kun was close by and now it's like he disappeared?! What about you Kuromaru?! Anything at all?! *bark bark* so nothing at all damn well at least we already tag Miyako so everything is not a total lost right let's keep going *bark* alright let's go" then they left I waited for 5 minutes just to be certain and I started to get ready to leave

(Interesting...they already tag Miyako? And we just started too?! Either she is really bad at this game or she is up to something...for some strange reason I feel like it's the latter well either way I gotta go wait and see)

Once my 5 minutes is up I started to make a run for it again heading for my nexts location I started to look around to see where is a good hiding place

(I need to be in a place that is most obvious yet least expected)

I am in a dead end so I look around and notice there is a string to the ceiling (Ah! Yes perfect the attic) I then pull the string and it open then the latter appear right before my eyes so I climb up and pull the string again and the door shut I decided to wait here until time is up but then I started to sense another present is here with me

(How the fuck did I not notice this before?! I really need to work on my sensory skill more)

"Who's there?" I said it in a warning tone with one of my kunai in my hand I gotta stay on guard because for all I know it could be an enemy

"I see I wasn't the only one that thought of coming here for a good hiding place guess what they say is true two great mind think alike! Hehehe" a girly voice said

I then realized that the present is Miyako I decided to sense her chakra making sure it is her once I was satisfied with my result I put my kunai away

"i suppose it true except for the fact that I wasn't tag just yet" I said it in a bored tone might as well get some information out of her

"Hmmm...i have my reason why I did that hehehe" giving me her wicked grin I couldn't help myself but to shiver at the sight (She reminds me so much on Elena its kinda scary yet creepy at the same time)

"Is that so and what reason could that be if you don't mind me asking" still giving her my bored tone

"Your just gonna have to wait and see precioso"

(WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! DID SHE JUST CALL ME PRECIOUS! HOW DARE SH- wait?! How the hell does she even know what precioso mean let alone know how to say it?!"

"Whats pre-si-co?!" pronouncing it wrong on purpose

(I need to know what's going on, there is no way anyone in this world should know how to speak my language it's impossible they only speak one language unless the clan made their own secret language like how the uchihas has but this! This is entirely different and I need answer)

"It's pronounced precioso and you don't need to worry about it, I am just speaking gibberish that all I get like that when I get nervous hahaha" I can already tell that she is starting to get nervous about this conversation meaning she is either speaking the truth or she is lying

"Why do I get the feeling that you just insulted me somehow?!" Let's see how she will react to that

"Eh?!...Oh no...of course not...nope...didn't insult you at all whatsoever hehehe" giving me her grin of a smile

(Hah! So she does know the meaning behind it! That brat did insulted me by calling me a princess)

After that I went straight into a fighting mode holding my kunai tightly in my hand giving her a hard cold stare

(No one other than myself know my language so this person is an imposter! That the only logical explanation I can think off there is no way she come from my old world it's impossible)

I started to attack her I can tell I caught her off hard but she immediately went into her own fighting position we started attacking one another the kunai are clashing with one another we may be same age but I can still over power I grab her left hand with mine my left leg is between her legs using my position as my advantage I start putting my body pressure forward I was about to take her down she moved her foot near the end of my left foot with one swift movement I was losing my balance she was able to make me trip she then moved her legs around my neck (how the hell does she know that move?!) she then bend backwards bringing me down with her she then let go and did a backflip while I was still falling down to the ground but I brought out my hands on time and started to do a headspins spinning my legs around I then used the strength of my hands to get me to do a backflip to the other side of the room once I did that I notice then that she is in a fighting position again that's when I just realized that this isn't a game anymore it's a life and death situation now

(Her fighting skills they aren't from around here I can already tell she has years of fighting experience not just 3 years of her life but much more how is that even possible...unless she is just like me and she has been reincarnated into this world it would explained a lot her eyes held so much knowledge for someone that is only 3 years old well their's only one way to find out)

I decided then it was now or never, she has the answers that I am seeking not only that but we are running out of time we only got 10 minutes left before the others will start searching for us I then look straight into her eyes and decided to speak to her with my spanish language if she is from my world then she will know what I am saying to her

"Quién eres enserio?! Como es posible que tu saves español?!"

("Who are you really?! And how is it possible you know spanish?!")

Once I said that she just gave me that looked that said she couldn't believe what is happening right now she just stood there frozen in her place it took her a minute but then she finally responded back but by then I already realized that I wasn't alone in this world anymore

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Miyako POV:

I couldn't believe it, I really shouldn't but the proof is right here right in front of me someone else that know my native language someone else that is just like me I shouldn't put my hopes up but I need to know if he is from my world then not only am I not alone but also there is someone else that can help me

(But first I gotta make sure he is from my world I'll tell him my heritage and we're I am from it worth a try I mean no one else knows what they are so what do I got to lose right)

"Yo se como hablar español porque es mi linaje yo soy parte de Guatemala y Cuba pero yo naci en Washington DC en Maryland y tu?!"

("I know how to speak spanish because it is my lineage I am part Guatemala and Cuban but I was born in Washington DC in Maryland and you?!"

He just stood there shock and his eyes begin to widen very largely he no longer was in a fighting position he just stood there staring at me as I am doing the same to him, for what it felt like an eternity was probably only a few minutes later he finally decided to speak

"Washington DC?! I was born in Potomac, I am part Mexican and Puerto Rican"

I couldn't believe it he start speaking to me in english this time

(My god it been such a long time since the last time I heard of it let alone speak of it)

"No freaking way! Seriously! Oh man! I can't believe this! Your! Your just like me then!"

I started to get excited about this I mean come on who wouldn't be I just found out that there is someone else just like me maybe there are more out there who knows he then decided to speak

"I guess so, so you have been in reincarnated too huh?! That crazy I mean for a minute there I thought I was the only one but glad to see I am not I mean I am sorry that you die and all but I have to be honest with myself I am not completely sorry because now I don't need to do this alone anymore do you know what world we are put in I already know but I need to know if you do"

I nodded at that "Yeah I know what world we are put in we are in Naruto Universe this is like any fan dreams! I mean I would love to be in naruto timeline but this timeline works too I mean it gives us the chance to prevent anything bad from happening before it even start" giving him my smile

He nodded at that and smile for the first time since I met him "Exactly! I guess you are a fan so you already know everything that is gonna happen then that good save me the trouble of explaining everything to you"

I just laugh at that he started to chuckle I then decided to tell him my real name since we are gonna be working together from now on I took out my hand and gave him a grin

"Well since we will be working together from now on I guess I'll reintroduced myself it's been awhile since I used my real name from my last life but here's go! Hello my name is Elena Santos it's a pleasure to meet you"

Once I said my introduction I notice that he started to pale ghostly white and started to stared at me with a looked that said horror, disbelief, shock happiness and other emotions that is swirling everywhere with both in his charka and his eyes I didn't understand why he was looking at me in such a way he then finally speak

"El-Elena no it can't be...NO! Yo-you can't be her...no no no you can't be mine Elena…you can't!...my Elena lived! Dammit! I fucking die that day...right in front of her...NO! NO! I remember! I remember everything!"

I just stood there staring at him my eyes beginning to widen I finally realized why is he acting this way because I am starting to feel what he is feeling he started to pace back and forth running his hand through his hair while I just stood there not knowing what else am I supposed to do

(Th-this can't be happening...he-he can't be...but he is...he isn't just Daichi Sarutobi...no...he is also Don...Don Martinez...my Don...my best friend is here with me)

"I remember Elena pick me up at the airport we were crossing the bridge of 495 trying to get home it was snowing and the road was icy we lost control while driving...we-we hit the ledge of the bridge and the pipes...the pipes went through my chest...I-I was dying I was losing so-so much bl-blood *started to cry* I said my goodbye to her...I-I hold her hand and gave her my last smile then everything went black...I die...right in front of her"

He then stop walking and turn towards me I can see he is crying a lot I don't blame him because I am doing the same

"Please...please...tell me...your not her...please tell me...th-that…"

I didn't let him finish i hugged him and put my face on his neck and holding him very tightly

"It's me...Don...I'm here...it's me El...your best friend...mi familia (my family)...forever always" whispering very softly near his ear while I am shaking out of control

That was the last straw for him too he put his arms around me and hold me tightly as well...we were both now shaking out of control we lost the strength of our legs so we both fell down on the ground together while still holding one another too afraid to let go thinking he is gonna disappears I am guessing he is feeling the same way

(He's here!...he's here!...my best friend is here...my brother...my family...I am not alone anymore...I am soooo happy yet sad…thank you thank you god! I have been lying to myself saying that I have moved on when reality...I have not...I mean how can you when you lost everything...your family...your life...your everything...and you can't even share it with anyone...it make you feel so lonely…but now...I don't have to suffer anymore I don't have to be alone anymore! Thanks you! Thank you! Thank you!")

Daichi POV:

For 5 minutes we both cry our eyes out, I know I'd probably look horrible right now but at this moment I don't care because she is here...with me...mine Elena is here! My best friend...my sister...

(She's here! She's here! Right here in my arms! How is it possible?! Oh my god! I can't believe it but it's explained a lot of thing but right now I don't care El is here with me my little sister is here)

Once we were both finally come down I finally decided it was time for some explaining

"What happen to you?! I could have sworn that when I die you were still alive you only receive an injury on your head but other then that you were fine so what happen El?!"

When she calm down she looked me into my eyes and I saw so many emotions swirling in her eyes she then spoke to me

"I was Don...but...I die on that same day" giving me her sad looked yet somehow content

"*sigh* you see that night right after you die...I cried my heart out...remember we hit the ledge of the bridge *I nodded at that* well the car was falling and...well I was trap inside"

I just kept staring at her with pure horror because I just realized that I die quickly but she...she

"I call out for anyone but no one heard me so I knew I was going to die in the ocean"

I just hugged her tightly in my arms and whisper to her softly "I'm sorry" while running my hand through her dark red hair comforting her as best as I could knowing that this is all I can do for her

"When I realized I was gonna die...I then decided I needed to say my goodbye to the love of my life and my family as well as yours I couldn't find my phone so I used yours...I talk to him and told him what happen and you know what he said to me...he said he will look out for your kids and your wife and that he loves me...he kept repeating the words over and over again it just broke my heart...and then...then the car fell to the ocean and...I-I die drowning it was so cold I couldn't feel anything I was so-so scared and so sad...and yet I was content knowing our family will be alright"

I just kept holding her tightly she started to shake out of control again

(This is my fault...I should have stay at the inn, hotel or even the airport itself none of this would have happen if it wasn't because of me)

"Stop it...stop thinking it was your fault...because it wasn't Don" giving me her determine looked even when she is shaking

(I should have known she see right through me she always could)

"It is my fault El...if I just stay at the airport none of this would have happen to us it is"

"Just stop it! It wasn't your fault! None of this is! We are here for a reason Don! We must be! I know there is! Why else are we here! We can change everything give better future to not only ourselves but to everyone else we care about! I can finally let my past life go and finally moved forward Don...I will always be Elena Santos but now...now I am Miyako Senju! I am both of them and it's the same with you! We will work together and moved forward together! I have no regret...I will always treasure my memories of my family and the love of my life they will always be a part of me I know they are moving forward working hard for there future and we must do Don we have too especially with this life we have...come on Don I need you! Please help me...help me achieve a better future for all of us" extending her hand out towards me giving me her signature grin that said everything is gonna be alright

"*sigh* Alright fine you win...you always know what to say...glad to see that you haven't change even with this new life" I extended my hand towards her we hand shake one another it was a pact a promised only to us that we will work together and do whatever it take to achieve our goal (glad to see that I won't be doing this alone anymore)

"Alright now that we got that settle mind telling me what your up to?!" Giving her my questioning looked

"Huh?! What do you mean?!" Giving me a confused looked

"I heard from Tsume that she already tag you? We only just started and she already tag you?! If I didn't know it was you El I would have thought that you really suck at this game but now that I know it's you and with your type of fighting skill in our past life...I wonder what your up too?! You could especially dodge anyone of these kids including me so how did she tag you?! What is your true goal El?!" Giving her a stern looked that said you better tell me or else I will make you suffer later on

"Oh! That what you meant! Hahahaha! Well if you must know I asked her to tag me" giving me her so not innocent smile

"Whyyy?!" Giving her my disbelief looked

(Now I know she is up to something but what is the real question)

"I never left the room from the very beginning I stay put and told her to tag me and she did at first she was skeptical and wonder why but I promised her when I am it she is gonna enjoyed the outcome so yeah" her smile turn devious (yup not gonna like this at all)

"You see Don it true I would have gotten away easily and never get tag but truth be told I didn't create this game for me to win in fact I know I am not gonna win at all"

(Alright now I am confused?! So this game isn't about winning?! Then what is it about then?!)

"Alright if this isn't about winning then what is it about then El?!" I need to know what she is up too maybe I can help her out or something

"This is about them learning not to rely on there clan teachings"

(Say what now?! Why would she)

"Your probably wonder why right?!" (Dammit! I hate it when she does that) I nodded at her

"Think about it Don...right now each of them are learning there clan techniques right *nodded again* well if we teach them to rely on each other and help them learned to improve their skill and start learning a lot of new things they can prevent a lot of bad thing from happening they can teach their kids to become stronger and that it's okay for them to learned not only there clan techniques but other things too also giving them a bit of competition as well as to get them to form a bond"

(Ah! Now I see what she is up too...not bad at all it's quite ingenious actually...she is already thinking ahead that good I should probably put my part in it too as well don't wanna be left behind"

"I see what you mean now...you planned to be it from the very beginning because you want to analyze there skill and help them improve as well very smart...it true that training together will form a strong bond especially if we can do it with all the future clans head then we can stop the uchiha de coup because he has strong ties with everyone, Danzo won't be able to lay a finger on them because of that very smart wish I come up with something like that"

(She may act childish but she is smart when she want to be) giving her my approval looked but then I realized something very important

"Is it a good idea to be talking about this?! I am sure someone is hearing on our conversation right now" looking around the room just in case

"Don't worry about it Don...I seal up this room a long time ago no one can see us or hear us" giving me her smile

"You sure El?!" Still not convinced she gave me a pouty face now

"Jeez have a little more faith on me I have been working really hard with my sealing techniques by both of my grandmothers plus I'm a uzumaki for pete sake I feel like I should be offended right now even when mom have cameras in both the south and east wing to see what we are up to" she is still rambling on

"Wait! What now?! Why would she do that?!" Giving her my hard looked that said she better explained herself

"Well as off right now my mother and the rest of the clan heads are watching us as we speak probably betting who's kid is gonna win this game anyway she put camera all over the south and east wing I figure this will help the parents to teach their kids more techniques to help them for the war that will be coming soon and we both know it will anyway remember when I said my mother left us some surprises for us *nodded* I know how my mother think she is a bit of a sadist so she's probably asked Nawaki to set up some traps for us this game is no ordinary game oh no this game will be kinda like a war version that is gonna happen later on in the future we need them to get stronger and more prepare Don we both know they will all survive but they are all distance with one another in order to change the future we need to change the future clan head first we need them to see that we need each other that they don't need to be alone" I nodded at that because she has a point in that

(El always does think ahead makes me proud to her call my little sister) I realized 20 minutes is almost up and I need to go

"Well I better head out now then El our time is almost up and you need to get ready soon but before I go let me tell you this right now when you find me again and I know you will don't hold back alright I want you to go all out with me alright" giving her my determination looked

"Don't worry Don...I won't...hehehehe I promised you when I do find you I will go all out with you" I nodded at that just as I was about to head out she decided to speak to me again

"Don...I'm glad you're here with me...I'll be counting on you k" I turn my head towards her and gave her my most gently smile

"Me too...see ya soon El...later" and then I came out of the attic I notice that no was close by so I started to make a run for it and look for somewhere else to hide all the while still thinking

(Yeah this is gonna be good...don't disappoint me El give me one hell of a fight I'll be waiting for you)

Things have certainly gotten more interesting now that two different path has crossed one any other what will happen now what future await for them both guess will just gonna have to wait and see
