Sakura's Pov.

Me and Suke had just told Tobirama, Hashirama, and Madara why we were so scared of our self-proclaimed 'sibling'. When we told them, they snickered and said.

"Good Luck."

I pouted and glared at them before following Suke to where Ruto, Kashi, and Kura were waiting for us to begin training. Once we reached them Kashi started us on our laps before we would do sparring, and then individual training methods. We each have different exercises to help us in our different weaknesses. My exercises involve strengthening my chakra reserves and my stamina. Suke's exercises involve strengthening his Taijutsu and weaponry. While Ruto's exercises involve strengthening his Genjutsu and chakra control. After about 6 hours of this torture, we all headed to Tazuna's house. Tobirama, Hashirama, and Madara had gone to keep Tazuna safe while we trained. When we got back, we looked at them all at the table and nodded before quickly walking to our rooms to get ready for dinner.

When we got back, we took our seats and had started eating. As soon as we sat down a kid came in and Tsunami introduced him as her son, Inari. When the food was served, we all launched into different conversations with different people. I was talking to Tobirama about what he did in his past life and he seemed to be quite enjoying the conversation. I couldn't really blame him because I was also enjoying it. Then Tobirama started telling me about everything Hashirama did to try and woo over Mito. I laughed when he mentioned a particular incident where Hashirama had followed Mito everywhere like a lost puppy and that he had to resort to knocking him out so that he would leave Mito alone.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing! Being all smiles and laughs! Gato will destroy all of you so you should just leave before he kills you!"shouted Inari.

'That brat! We did not beat an A-Ranked Shinobi only for this kid to come along and underestimate us. Plus, he's ruining my chance to learn more about Tobirama-kun!'

You see, when me and my siblings had fallen asleep on the couch, I was still a little awake and I remembered what he had done and what he had called me. Ever since than I had had a small crush on him and I actually did find his life story interesting.

"Hey kid, we'll be fine. Calm down." Suke said.

"No! You don't know what it means to suffer! You don't know the pain of losing someone precious! You don't know the pain of loneliness!"Inari shouted angrily. Me and my siblings immediately froze up and let our bangs cast a shadow over our eyes as we looked down. A dark and depressing air surrounded us as unwanted memories swirled in our heads. Hateful glares, dead and beaten bodies, and finally, little kids desperately wishing for someone else to help them through their pain and sorrow.

3rd Pov.

Everyone in the room was quite. Tobirama, Hashirama, Madara and Kakashi had just ignored what Inari said and would've continued to do so if they hadn't noticed the state of the 3 'siblings'. They all had their head bowed and were shaking as shadows covered their eyes. Than all at once, their heads snapped up in unison to show that their faces were set in a deep scowl as they looked at Inari. Their eyes shined with fury but all the adults in the room could see the hint of barely suppressed sadness and pain.

"No. It's you who doesn't know what the meaning of pain is, brat. Do you have to suffer hateful glares and assassinations on your life on a daily basis?"Naruto questioned with his voice full of pain.

"Do you have to suffer the pain of having your most cherished person in the world, murder your entire family in cold blood?"Sasuke added on with a voice that screamed suffering and betrayal.

"Do you have to suffer the pain of having someone who is meant to love you, care for you, cherish you, be the very person that made your life a living hell?"Sakura included with a voice that screamed of loneliness.

"Do you have to suffer the pain of knowing that all the worst things in your life happened because you had no control over it, and that no matter what you do, everyone will always blame you for it?"They all said at once with piercing gazes while standing up.

Inari just stood there in shock before running off towards his room. The 3 siblings all watched as he ran off before excusing themselves and leaving the house to go calm down their nerves. The 4 Shinobi knew that the siblings would need time to calm down and let their emotions settle before they would be able to talk about it. They could tell that some old wounds had opened up and that they would need space to start recovering. They silently decided to talk to them tomorrow before they headed off towards bed.

The next day...

Tobirama's Pov.

When I woke up I remembered what had transpired yesterday during dinner and sighed. It was fairly easy for me to ignore the kid, but I was surprised by the effect his words had had on the 3 teens. When I heard what they said I had immediately understood why they reacted so dramatically. It was obvious that they had had tough childhoods when they were young and him saying that they must have great lives while knowing absolutely nothing about them would have ticked anyone off. I myself had gone through a small flashback of my more...difficult times in life. I had remembered when my other 3 brothers had died during the war, and remembering what Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto had said happened to them, I became a little depressed.

Me, Hashirama, and Madara had founded Konoha because we had wanted to make sure that no child would have to mature as fast as we had, and to preserve their innocent and naïve minds for as long as possible. But hearing what had happened to them, I realized that although the village may save most children, it won't save all of them. I let out a sigh at that realization before washing up and heading downstairs. When I reached the foot of the stairs I saw that Tsunami-san was already up and cooking.

'What is it with cooks being the first one's to get up?'I thought to myself questioningly before shrugging it off and sitting at the table. She looked back at me and smiled kindly before nodding and resuming her task. I had nodded back before my brother, Madara and Kakashi walked in. I also nodded to them and watched them as they took a seat.

"Hey! Has anyone seen the kids since yesterday?"Hashirama exclaimed suddenly. We all shook our heads before looking at eachother with a hint of worry in our eyes. We all quickly got up and raced out the door to look for the 3 siblings.

We were all racing through the forest, searching frantically for the 3 young teens that had somehow found a way through our barriers and had quickly became precious to us, which firmly implanted themselves in our lives. As we raced through the forest, we felt 3 chakra signals off to our side and immediately changed course. We soon landed in a clearing and looked at a nearby tree where we felt the chakra signals. We saw all 3 of the teens huddled around eachother under the shade of the tree. We smiled softly at the peaceful expressions on their faces before walking over and squatting down next to them. I lightly tapped Sakura on the shoulder and watched as her eyes slowly opened to show her bright emerald eyes that I find myself smiling at. When her eyes opened fully, they landed on me immediately. She leaned up and wrapped her arms around my neck tightly before letting out small sobs. I closed my arms around her and rubbed my hands up and down her back smoothly to try and calm her down, to reassure her that everything was okay and that I was there.

When I had seen the loneliness in her eyes last night, I immediately swore to myself that I would do everything in my power to make sure that look never shows on her .Again.

"Shhhhhh. It's okay, I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry, I won't leave you, I promise."I muttered soothingly into her hair. I rested my cheek on the top of her head and looked to my side to see Madara and Hashirama doing the same with the other 2 boys. Kakashi was off to the side looking worriedly at his 3 students.

When they had finally calmed down, me, Hashirama, and Madara had all sat more comfortably on the grass floor to hold them more properly. Each of the 3 teens were currently sitting on our laps. While the 2 boys were just sitting there, I had my arms wrapped around Sakura tightly. When they noticed, the glared at me a little before Sakura noticed and shot them a 'flip off' look. I chuckled lightly and kissed the back of her head. Her slowly bubbling anger resided and she calmed down while leaning into my chest. Kakashi sighed before saying gently.

"Do you guys want to tell us why you reacted so strongly? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would still be nice to know."

The 3 siblings looked at eachother and had a silent debate before they all looked at Kakashi and nodded.

"Everyone thinks that I'm the Kyuubi that attacked Konoha 13 years ago because my parents died sealing the Kyuubi within me. My parents wanted me to be seen as a hero so my jinchuriki status wasn't hidden, but nobody saw me as the hero. They all saw me as a reincarnation of a deadly source of power. When I was younger the villagers would always ambush me and beat me to near death. Some even went as far as hiring ninja from other villages to assassinate me. The first time someone tried to kill me, I had been able to run away before he could finish me off. Since then, Jiji had ANBU follow me to make sure that it doesn't happen again."Naruto said, choking lightly at the end. Me, Hashirama, and Madara were shocked. We then looked over to Kakashi and asked icily.

"Did you know about this?"

"No. I only knew about the villagers general dislike of him, I didn't know they went as far as beatings, much less attempts on his life. Besides, during the time that Naruto was growing up, I was usually outside the village doing missions."Kakashi said shaking his head with a still slightly shocked face.

"Seems it's my turn."Sasuke said sighing. We all looked at him before he spoke.

"My entire clan was massacred by my older brother. He wanted me to hate him, loathe him for what he did but I don't. I'm just upset that he left me alone. Though, I suppose that I'm technically not alone considering that he's still alive. I intend to find out why he murdered the clan and if I can, I want to bring him back home."

Me, Hashirama, and Madara all shared shocked expressions.

'The entire Uchiha clan was massacred? Why would anyone do that to their own family? Unless maybe...'

My mind started whirling with the possibilities, but before my thoughts could continue, Sakura started speaking.

"My mother died when I was born. Because of this, my dad thought that I was responsible and so, he blamed me. He would beat me every night until one day, he came home drunk and actually tried to murder me. Luckily I had gotten away in time and made it to the hospital so that they could treat me before he could follow."She finished sadly. My grip tightened on her before I leaned my head down to whisper reassuring words in her ear.

"It's okay. Don't worry, I'm here now, I won't let him or anyone else touch you again."

She just nodded slightly before leaning back into my chest and slowly falling asleep. The other 2 copied her actions as if on signal. I smiled softly at the little pinkette before scooping her up in my arms and after letting her get comfortable in the new position, carried her home with the others following.
