Elis was still hanging on the weird rock. She was fast asleep and Miu was staring at her.

Why do you look so familiar? she asked herself.

Mommy, come on it's my first day at school, Miu heard a small voice in her head.

Alright, she heard her voice saying to the small voice.

Miu held her head so she could control her sanity.

"Miu," Itachi said at her side.

"I'm alright," Miu said looking at the girl.

"What is going on?" she heard Hiashi.

"Nothing master," she said letting her head go.

She looked at the man and started to hear voices screaming at her.

She fell to the ground holding her head.

"Miu," Itachi said falling to her side.

"Put he in that contanier. We don't want her remembering anything," Haishi ordered.

"Right," Itachi said scouping Miu in his arms.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were running at full speed. They were in a forest feild.

"Hey Sasuke do you know where were going?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke didn't answer. He was using his Sharningan to see if he could see anything else.

"Sasuke we should take a break we have been running at top speed for almost a day. If we want to beat Haishi and Itachi we need to be at full strength," Sakura resoned.

Sasuke still didn't answer.

"SASUKE," Naruto yelled in his ear.

Sasuke jumped and hit a tree.

Sakura and Naruto stopped on a branch on a tree were Sasuke hit.

"What?" Sasuke asked standing up.

"We have been trying to talk to you for a while and you keep on ignoring us," Sakura explained.

"Sorry if I have been consetrating," Sasuke said looking around.

"You need your rest," Sakura said walking closer to him.

"I don't need it. I have enought strength," Sasuke said turning away from her.

"Sasuke I know you want to save her, but if you keep on going on like this you won't get to," Naruto resoned.

"Shut up Naruto you have no idea how I feel," Sasuke barked at Naruto.

"I don't. Then who the hell trained away from the village for two years? Who fought you when you were going to Orochimaru? Who looked for you while you were training with Orochmar?!" Naruto shouted tightening his fists.

Sasuke stood up straight.

"Don't you say I don't know what it is like because I do," Naruto said.

He jumped down from the tree and started making camp.

Sasuke watched Naruto move around.

"Sasuke don't think that he is the only one that knows how you feel," Sakura said looking at Naruto.

She jumped down to help Naruto.

Sasuke watched him until it was sunset. He leaned on the tree looking at what stars he could see through the leaves.

Elis, Sauke thought.

He remembered the first time he saw her when he came back to the village.

Elis opened the door. The person that was in front of the door had black hair and eyes. He was as tall as the door and he wore black pants, black boots, black gloves, a tang-top, and a gray vest.

"Can I help you?" Elis asked.

"Hello does Hinata live in this apartment," asked the man.

"Yes," Elis said with a big smile.

He remembered that she was only eight years old and she was so innocent and he didn't even know that she was his daughter until later. He remmered the day when he found out. He remembered the letter that Hinata left her and what he thought about it.

Dear love,

It has been along time since I have seen you. By the time you read this I will already be dead. I am sorry that I kept her from you. But how could I. You had already left the village and I couldn't find you. Besides I was too weak and vulnerable. Please forgive me. Right know she needs you, her father. I know that you have never had any experiences with a child but, I know you will do great. Please take good care of her. I know you can do it. Please tell her that I lover her and that I will always be by her side.

Love your Hinata.

He still didn't under stand. Then he felt another peace of paper in the back of her letter. He looked at it and it was Elis's birth certificate. It had his name on it. Then he became wide eye.

What? Elis's is my daughter? Sasuke said to himself.

Now the letter made sense. He was to take care of Elis and raise her just what he should really be doing. But he wasn't sure how he would do it. He has never been there for Elis like Hinata and the others.

How the heck am I suppose to raise her when I can't even get my life straight. Plus there are people after me. What would happen to her if she lost me as well.

He smiled at his shock. He was so stupid back then. He should have known that Elis was his daughter when they first meet or eve the day when he was training her.

"So Elis what do you wanna work on your training," Sasuke asked following Elis to where she trains.

"Well I wanted to work on my speed and some of my melee tequices," said Elis thinking of what she had to practice on.

"How old are you?" Sasuke asked.

"I am eight years old. And at the top of my class," Elis said turning around to Sasuke to show how proud of herself she was.

"Wow."

"Yep. I had to study really hard to get the top of my class. Me and mom rarely talked because I was studying so hard. But know I am acing my class like I am the book," Elis said so proudly.

He sat up and looked down at Naruto and Sakura. He stared at them remembering the good old days when they were Team 7. He laughed when he thought of him and Naruto always fighting and Sakura always yelling at Naruto. Those were the best times. Sasuke then thought of the day when he messed everything up. Know he realized that Naruto did fell the same way.

The only diffrence was Elis didn't want to run away from him, like how he was running away from his friends.

He jummped down to meet them.

They all looked at him.

"I'm sorry," he said looking at them. ''I'm just really worried about Elis. That's all."

"We all are,'' Sakura said.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

"I understand but," Naruto said turning to Sauke. "If you do that again I will have to beat you up."

"I will hold you to that," Sasuke said with a smile.

"Let's get as much sleep as possible kay," Sakura said happy to be together again.

"Alright."

They all went to sleep not knowing what is going on far away.
