And I woke up with a start. I was panting heavily and sweating buckets. I started to have a mini-panic attack when I didn't realize where I was, but calmed down when I saw a sleeping Hidden Leaf village outside of my window. I glanced down at the foot of my bed and noticed K-9 curled up in a ball, fast asleep.

"Man." I said to myself. "That was a crazy dream, even by my standards. Wait a minute." My eyes snapped open and I jerked my body to an upright position. "K-9!" I exclaimed. K-9 lifted his head, yawned and gave me a look that said: 'What? I was having a good dream.' I don't know why but I was grinning from ear-to-ear.

K-9 fell back asleep as I rose from my hospital bed. I crossed over to the door and cracked it open. I glanced down the hallway and saw no one coming, so I slipped out and jogged down the hallway. I turned the corner and froze in my tracks. I saw my parents talking to a female doctor with brown eyes and blonde hair. Her chest was the most defining feature. It was huge, and I remember Kakashi Senpai telling me that he measured them one day using his Sharingan. They were 106 cm. I guess that my parents and the doctor were talking about me.

The doctor dismissed my parents and when she turned towards me, I realized that my doctor was none other than the fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade. I sprinted for my room and got in my bed a few seconds before Tsunade came in.

"Hey, doc." I asked. "Where's the bathroom?"

"Down the hall, first door on the left." She replied, automatically. I waited for what felt like forever when she finally looked up. Her brown eyes widened in shock as I gave her a smile and a wave. She sprinted out of my room, calling for my parents. A few minutes later, my door burst open to reveal my parents and Tsunade in the doorway. My parents went to my bed and enveloped me in a bear hug.

"Mom. Dad." I said hoarsely. "I can't breathe."

"Sorry." My mom said. "We're just glad that our baby's ok." After my mom stopped crying, my dad asked me what happened. With an exaggerated sigh, I launched into my story. When I got to the part where I met Sarc, there was a knock on my door. Tsunade crossed over and opened the door to reveal Kiba Sensei, Akamaru, Calder and Dresden. Calder, Dresden and Kiba Sensei took a seat while Akamaru played with K-9 as I finished my story.

"So, let me sum this up." My dad said. "After you, Calder and Dresden hit Ohanzee with that beam of light, he was transported to when your mom and me-"

"Mom and I, Seaweed Brain."

"Right, mom and I were in Tartarus and proceeded to make you not exist by killing us before we could conceive you."

"That about sums it up." I said with a nod.

"So, Ohanzee is killed for good, correct?" Kiba Sensei asked.

"That's also correct." I said. Tsunade looked at the time and said that I needed my rest, despite coming out of a coma a few minutes ago. My parents, Calder, Dresden, Kiba Sensei, Akamaru and Tsunade wished me a good night and I fell into a dreamless slumber.

I woke up the next morning and Shizune, Tsunade's assistant, said that I was free to leave. I roused K-9, dressed into jeans and a t-shirt, and decided to take a walk around the village. Somehow, I found myself on the cliff over the Hokage stone heads. I told K-9 to head home, then went to go sit beside Skye, who was also up there.

"KYDEN!" She exclaimed with joy as she enveloped me in a hug. I returned the hug and asked her to tell me what happened while I was 'out'. As she was describing the events to me, I couldn't get over the fact that this was the 'calm before the storm', and that the worst was yet to come.

A/N: Sorry that this one is shorter than my first one. When I had first divided up the chapters, they honestly looked longer in my notebook than on the computer, so I combined most of the chapters together with this one. Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a review!
