Al hang of a lot had happened over the years. It was graduation day and Suika and Reave were excited, simply for the prospect of finally being allowed to train with his sword (Reave) and finally being able to make some decent cash from a mission or two (Suika).

The day was filled with excitement for all except, oddly, the Hokage and ANBU.

"Lord Hokage we have reports that several of our allies have fallen." One ANBU said; sorrow evident in his voice. "It appears that the villages of Sunagakure and Takigakure have been conquered by a, thus far unknown, foreign body."

"What about the others?" The Hokage asked albeit that he himself was fearing the answer.

"No word from any of them but kumogakure's last message sounded… odd, for lack of a better term." One ANBU replied

"I want a squad dispatched to every village and a full report on the situation at hand." The Hokage said sternly, no one particularly noticing the hairs on the back of his neck standing at attention. The ANBU nodded and disappeared leaving no trace.

The Hokage quickly got a letter from the gate saying that the Kage of Sunagakure and the elders from Takigakure were at the gate with refugees.

"You don't understand we have nowhere to go and we have wounded!" The kazekage shouted.

Before the shinobi could reply the hokage showed up. "Let them in they have had a long, hard round… get food and water as well and why isn't there medical ninja dispatch already here?" The hokage said sternly.

"Yes lord hokage!" The gate guards said before flickering away.

"I will fill you in later." The kazekage muttered to his land of fire counterpart.

Reave and Suika were running since they were late (again) and the last thing they needed was to get in trouble with Iruka again. "Damnit I knew getting those cups of coffee were a bad idea!" Reave shouted.

"This coming from the guy who decided a large chocolate chip cookie was a good idea?" Suika replied. "And coffee is never a bad idea!"

"Says the one who was hospitalised after choking down a hundred shots of espresso." Reave retorted.

Both of them had changed over the past Eight years, some changes were more drastic than others.

Reave was considerably taller and bore a slender build with a lot of definition, his hair had copied his father's own and was currently out of its pony though he kept it short on the sides and back.

Reave kept the same fashion sense with a few alterations such as plated fingerless gloves and a grey and black hoodie with the Hatake crest on the back. The hoodie was mostly grey except for two black strips that went from the wrist on the inside of the arm to up to the armpit and down to the waist.

Suika had been through a total of one growth spurt bringing him up to four foot seven with a lean, toned build, he was now roughly the same height as Ameyuri Ringo but with very similar features to his uncle Hidan, his features being a bit more rugged for his age. Otherwise he'd kept his dark platinum hair in a ducktail but instead donned a skin-tight, long-sleeved neoprene shirt, baggy blue pants tucked into knee high black boots and a holster with a currently blank plate on it, very similar in design to Chojuro's. He also had a new triple bladed scythe, this one was a full sized replica of his uncle's. He also retained his chakra steel forearm bracers.

The two friends were leaping from roof to roof, arguing the entire way to the academy as they always had.

"You're late!" Iruka shouted at the two as they got stuck in the door from both trying to get in at the same time.

"Dude lay off the chips!" Reave said as he shoved on Suika's head.

"So says the guy who packs an entire chicken away for dinner and is hungry 10 minutes later!" Suika replied as he pushed against Reave.

Iruka open the door even more causing the two to fall onto the floor.

"Technically we aren't late we are just really early for tomorrow." Reave replied with his usual glibness still lying on the floor.

The two took their seats at the back since everyone knew the right side corner seats were theirs, they were also known as the 'late seats' so no one typically sat there.

"As I was saying today is your graduation day." Iruka started cutting himself off when the hokage entered.

"Lord Hokage!" Iruka bowed in panic.

"Good evening class; I understand congratulations are in order but your class is going to get a lot bigger." The hokage explained.

"Two of our allied villages have arrived after their villages were destroyed but there future genin will be joining your class and taking the test with you!" The hokage said firmly.

A few students walked in noticeably Gaara of the Sand Waterfall, Temari, Kankuro, Fuu and one odd girl with short black hair, everyone else was largely ignored by reave because he kept staring at the girl with short black hair.

She was considerable shorter then everyone coming close to a punching bag size in height but her sharp blue eyes were something that reave couldn't keep his eyes off of, her outfit consisted of black leggings with a purple spaghetti top on followed by black, ankle height Tommie's.

"Okay now you are not allowed your personal weapons but you can use kunai." The hokage said.

"What do you mean? I can't use my Kusarigama that sucks!" she complained.

"Afraid not." Iruka replied.

"Hey Reave… your nose!" Suika whispered to his friend. Reave had a nose bleed that he hadn't noticed. Suika paused for a moment. "Oh my god… oh… my… fucking… god…"

The new kids took seats on the stairs unfortunately for Reave with short hair girl took a seat next to Suika and reaves table. Suika kept giggling at reave who had two tampons shoved up his nose.

"Part of me wonders why you always carry a pair with you."

"I get nose bleeds from sparring asshole."

"And the instance you gave Anko one because she ran out of pads?"

"Bonus." Reave replied.

Iruka told everyone to perform a D-rank cloning jutsu and substitution jutsu.

Suika and Reave were let off doing the Justus because of the kekkei genkai (Suika) and the unstable nature of Dark Release (Reave).

"Aren't you lucky!?" Some idiot spat.

Needless to say Suika and Neji had to hold Reave back while Lee and Tenten placed themselves between reave and the idiot. After the quick over reaction and a not so quick waiting period, everyone went outside for sparring.

Reave looked around but couldn't find Kakashi anywhere nor could he find his god parents. Sarah and wolf were hiding on the roof and Reave knew this, specifically because he knew all of their hiding places.

'Guess tou-san is not showing.' Reave thought to himself sorrow evident in his eyes.

"Okay class this time we are doing something different you get to choose who you fight." Iruka said.

"It can be a class mate, chunin or jonin." Iruka said.

Suika was called first and chose to take a chunin. The chunin charged at Suika and got a swift frog strike to the balls dropping him. Reave high-five Suika and was laughing at the chunin who muttered, or rather squeeked, he went easy on him.

Lee chose Neji and Tenten chose the girl who had caught Reave's eye and that fight was interesting since both were ranged fighters and it ended in the tie.

Reave was called and he chose a jonin. Needless to say the person who showed was Kakashi.

"Tou-san?!" Reave asked in a confused tone.

"Hey little ninja!" Kakashi said embarrassing the living daylights out of reave.

Kakashi pulled up him headband and opened his sharingan while reave activated his own, they had developed quite far and bore three tomoe in each eye.

Reave charged at Kakashi at speeds that rivalled Jonin but the lack of precision remained volatile. Reave threw strike after strike using long stances hoping his dad would take the bait. Kakashi decided to take the bait after a few seconds of back and forth exchange of blows and things finally got interesting.

Reave got a kick to the back of his knee which he bent, rolled over to his back while setting his left foot behind his dads right and kicking Kakashi in the waist as he pulled his left foot in causing Kakashi to fall.

Reave jumped and did a spinning axe kick to Kakashi's arms that manage to block the kick. Reave got a kick in the back as payment.

Both Hatake's got to their feet.

Reave removed his hoodie and threw it to Suika and few of the new girls stared at Reave's chiselled features. "You're all fucking perverts." Suika mumbled.

"Are we allowed to use Ninjutsu?" Reave inquired.

"I don't have an issue with it." Kakashi replied.

Reave went through the hand signs and created a black hole. He paused for a moment then shot it at his dad. Kakashi barely dodged the jutsu and watched in horror as it stuck a tree and tore it apart before shooting splinters everywhere. Luckily only Suika got hit as everyone else dodged.

"Trying to kill your old man isn't very nice you know." Kakashi said acting hurt. Kakashi performed the signature hand seal of the shadow clone jutsu.

The two clones ran at Reave who couldn't fight off the relentless double up assault and they each had an arm pulled to the side and a hand on his shoulders forcing him of to his knees.

The real Kakashi ran forward and threw a punch but reave jerked to the side pulling a clone into the punch. Reave spun and kicked the other in the back of his head.

Reave was panting heavily, the gravity cannon pulled a hell of a lot of chakra and his reserves were big but also suffered due to his Sharingan, his half-blood Uchiha status meant his eyes didn't use as little chakra as a regular Uchiha would. But they didn't use as much as his father's either.

"Getting tired?" Kakashi asked.

"Nope" Reave said as he ran at Kakashi.

Kakashi got a right hook to the jaw followed by his knee being kicked out from under him. Reave spun in the air and landed an elbow to the back of Kakashi's head.

Kakashi threw Reave off and got back to his feet just to see his child jumping at him but mid-flight Reaves sharingan went off and reave tackled his dad with a hug which Kakashi returned after he got over the shock.

"Well done my boy!" Kakashi said as he hugged his child.

Sarah decided to show herself and appeared in the ring. "Hey kaa-san!" Reave jumped off his dad and gave her a hug.

"Hey kiddo you dad and I had a bet." Sarah said as she hugged reave.

Kakashi pulled out the Hatake family sword, the white light chakra blade, and passed it on, it was time that reave wielded it, a bit of a tradition for a hatake child actually.

Reave would have teared up if it wasn't for him being surrounded by his classmates.

"Thank you tou-san!" reave said and bowed which shocked everyone since he wasn't typically one to bow.

"Who are you and what happened to my child?" Kakashi joked.

"Am I not allowed to be formal?" Reave asked in a high and mighty tone placing his hand on his chest asking hurt.

"No." Suika shouted from the crowd.

"Shut up!" Reave retorted. "I'm trying to have a moment here!"

Sarah burst out at laughter at reave before he jump and hugged both of them, Reave and Kakashi to be specific. The rest of the class went and there were a few good fights but nothing particularly worth writing about, at least not when it comes to a combat document.

Suika and Reave decided coffee with be good, something Kakashi and Sarah joined while Wolf went to inform the hokage.

"The ninja came from just about everywhere and attacked, it was a blitz and a massacre we lost nearly all our ninja in minutes." The Kazekage said. "Never have I ever seen such a quick sweep of a village."

"Who was leading them?" The Hokage inquired, taking a sip of his tea.

"Orochimaru." The kazekage replied simply.

Before the Hokage would say anything more Wolf showed up perched atop the windowsill. "Really can't you use the door?" the hokage muttered.

Wolf handed a pile of documents to the hokage and vanished without another word.

"Also you are welcome to become a part of the hidden leaf village, both of you are in fact I could use the help with some decisions." The hokage said rubbing his temples.

"We would be honoured" One of the Taki elders replied before the Kazekage could say something rash in true Rasa style.

Reave quickly ran home and place the sword on his bed before joining everyone at the BBQ shop.

Reave sat next to Tenten with Neji next to her on her right, Lee was next to him followed by Might Guy, Sarah, Kakashi and Suika, in that order The night was filled with laughter and jokes and for once Neji and Reave got along, a fact rare to say the least.

All was going well at least that's what they thought.
