"Uh, where are we?" Naruto asked when he looked around and saw himself, Hina, Sasuke, Ai, and Sora in a room none of them had been in before.
"How should I know, Dobe?" Sasuke glared at him.
"I was going to bed, then ended up here." Hina offered her account.
"Same." Ai and Sora said at the same time.
"Recap what happened the last five years." A voice said out of no where.
"EH?" They all asked.
"Yes... When you're done you will all wake up from this weird dream." The voice told them.
"What should we call you, Voice-sama?" Naruto asked.
"Really, Dobe?" Sasuke slapped his forehead.
"If I answer will you get on with the recap?"
Naruto nodded and the others shrugged.
"...Fine, just call me Kaida." Kaida answered. "Sora can go first." Kaida told them.
"Hn, alright. I am sixteen now and a high level Chunin. Nee-chan trained me well, and I ended up testing out of the Academy. Rather than place me on a team, I became Akane-shisho's apprentice." Sora winced at the memory of training with the Oni-sensei.
"It turns out I have fire as my first affinity and water as my second. As we got older, I accompanied Akane-shisho and Nee-chan on a mission in Yugakure. Apparently they were turning into a tourist attraction, and many of their shinobi weren't happy about it. Konoha was sent there to offer refuge to those who wanted to stay in the Shinobi Life." Sora got a sour look on her face.
"That is where we met the newest freak of the house, Hidan. At first he was trying to kill us all, but after Nee-chan called him a heathen bastard and threatened to sacrifice him to Jashin, he began to follow her like a love sick puppy." Sora groaned in annoyance at the memory.
"Tch. Bastard hits on Nee-chan way too often." Sasuke mumbled to himself.
"I know! Worst part is Nee-chan just starts laughing when he does that." Naruto joined in.
"Anyway." Sora glared at the boys who interrupted her. "Although she's younger than me, Hina and I are best friends and partners in crime. We are always seen together, and have become a symbol of hope for the future to the Village." Sora grinned at her friend who smiled back.
"I've gone into more covert work than Nee-chan. It's my hope to get into ANBU and maybe assassinations. I'm also pretty good at honeypot missions. I have the Uchiha allure and looks, a well maintained body, exotic eyes, and all those books Nee-chan gave me to read helped me cultivate my social and manipulative skills. Having the Sharingan for genjutsu and manipulation helps too. Overall, I think I'll reach the ranks of Special Jonin soon." Sora finished.
"Very good. Ai, you may go now, dear." Kaida piped in.
"Thank you, hm. Anyway, since I'm a year younger than Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata, I was placed in the class below them. It took a while to fix my chakra, but when it was healed I was finally able to use my Kekkei Genkai. Aniki loves showing me his art, and now I can make my own!" Ai grinned at her brother.
"I usually mold my clay after pretty insects and spiders, and I change the chakra ratio to make the explosions different colors, hm. Art is a statement!" Ai jumped up while Dei muttered something about raising her wrong.
"Oh, I'm currently top in my class, even above the boys, and I love it. Nee-chan's training really is awesome. She gives us stuff to train us individually unlike the Academy, hm. I'm not very good at clones, but Nee-chan promised to help me with that soon, hm." Ai smiled at the promise Hitomi gave her.
"I really love Nee-chan. She's helped me and Aniki so much, hm. She's even fought to get Dei instated as a Clan head due to our Kekkei Genkai, hm. We still need to decide on a last name in order to become a Clan, hm." Ai smiled again. "Nee-chan helped me pick out good ninja clothes, and nearly had a heart attack when I tried to get open toed shoes." The group all laughed.
"Yes, Nee-chan really hates those." Hina said.
"Yeah." Naruto grimaced.
"Hn." Sasuke said, looking at the open toed shoes on his feet. He just liked being difficult.
"Hey, hm! My turn to speak, hm." Ai pouted to them.
The older kids chuckled and let her finish.
Ai nodded. "Nee-chan has also begun teaching me in manners and stuff for when me and Aniki become a clan. I think Aniki is taking so long to decide a name because he knows he can't marry Nee-chan when they are both Clan Heads, hm." She said in a sly tone.
"Wh-what, un! No way I'd want to m-marry Hitomi, yeah! Wh-what gave you that silly idea, u-un?" Dei went dark red as he sputtered denials.
Everyone rolled their eyes at his obvious crush.
"Oh, and Hidan-kun is really fun to hang out with, except when he says all those bad words, or when he's hitting on Nee-chan, or when he's trying to sacrifice Aniki, or when he-." Her mouth was covered by Dei's hand.
"I think that is enough out of you, un. Kaida-san, who's next, yeah?" He asked the weird voice from earlier.
Unknown to them, Kaida rolled her eyes. "Fine, spoil my fun. You can go next, kill joy."
Dei let go of Ai, and she went to pout next to the girls. "Ok, un. After I made Chunin, I led a few missions and found out I'm in the Bingo Book, un. Onoki-sama wasn't pleased I joined Konoha with Ai, so he put a large bounty on my head and Hitomi's, yeah. I've also been nicknamed 'The Bomber', pretty cool right, un?"
"No, hm. Nee-chan's is better." Ai told him.
Dei deflated a little bit at that.
"Ai has a point. Nee-chan's is pretty bad ass." Naruto agreed.
"Well yeah, she got the nickname 'She-Devil of Konoha', of course it's better than a simple 'The Bomber'." Sora said with sass.
"Whatever, un. Hitomi has been helping me with recognized genjutsu and getting out of it, yeah. Her training is pretty awesome, um. I'm still not as good at speaking as she is, probably never will, but Hitomi has been training me so I don't offend people all the time, yeah." Dei added, trying to ignore the earlier debate of cool nicknames.
"More details on how Hitomi got her nickname please." Kaida asked.
"What about how I got my nickname, yeah?" Dei asked.
"We all know you make things go boom. She-Devil, now." Kaida ordered.
"Yes, un." Dei sulked while the others laughed. "Hitomi got her nickname from quite a few things, yeah."
"Like?" Kaida pressed.
Dei open his mouth to answer, but the others beat him to the punch. "Her sadistic side that comes out in battle." Hina said.
"Her mastery over wind and fire attacks." Sasuke added.
"Her vicious temper when people fuck with the people she loves." Sora put in.
"Her connections to other scary people." Naruto added.
"The way she trolls people, hm." Ai said sweetly.
Dei crawled into his emo corner. "Why couldn't you let me finish, un?" He muttered darkly.
"You took too long." The others in there said in unison.
"Whatever, drama queen. Why don't you talk about your rivalry with Hidan next?" Kaida offered.
"Fine, un. That freak likes hitting on Hitomi saying Jashinists needs to stick together and all that bullshit, un. Then he goes around saying true art is pain and death and stupid Jashin, yeah. Hitomi was 15 when she met him, and he was a creepy 17 when he decided that they 'belonged' together because 'lord Jashin' demands it, yeah!" Dei continued to rant.
This went on and on for a few hours.
"-and he has the nerve to try and blame me, un!"
"Sorry I asked, I didn't know you two were such love rivals, drama queen. Hina, your turn." Kaida announced, ignoring a now sputtering Dei.
"Thank you, Kaida-sama." Hina gave a polite bow of her head towards the place Kaida's voice came from. "Nee-chan has taught me well over the years. I am still quiet, but no longer timid or shy. She has taught me a wise saying: Speak softly and carry a big stick." Hina nodded her head in agreement of the words.
"I was confused by the words when she first said them, but after her explanation I chose to mold my life around them. It is a saying that means that it is fine to be quiet and respectful, but always have skill or some show of force so as to not be pushed around." Hina said with an even voice.
"Father is pleased with how Nee-chan has taught me. He praises her any chance he gets. They have formed a great friendship and it will continue through myself, Nee-chan, and Sora. Once my confidence and speech was up to Nee-chan's approval, she had Sora and I spar in her sight. I wasn't allowed to use gentle fist as she was not permitted to use the Sharingan." Hina nodded and smiled at her friend.
"Sora and I have become great friends, and have done so much with one another. We are not that mischievous, but with Nee-chan's approval we did cultivate a plan to mess with Danzo. Nee-chan never told us why she doesn't like him, but we trust her. We all do. After being forewarned of his rumored secret military force, Sora and I successfully painted his traditional mansion a bright neon pink. To this day, it is still unknown who did it. Only Sora, Nee-chan, and I know of it." Hina thought with a bright smile.
Naruto's eyes went big. "YOU two did that? That prank was beautiful! Amazing even! I think I'm in love." The goof said as he stared at Hina.
Hina blushed, still quite in love with him, and continued her tale. "Nee-chan thinks the Hokage-sama knows, because he called the three of us to his office to give us 'money he forgot' to give to Sora and Nee-chan, saying the three of us should split it between ourselves. After some time, Nee-chan took me and herself only into the Forest of Death for survival training. Father wasn't too pleased, but after evaluating my skills in a spar and Nee-chan agreeing to bring along a jonin to watch us silently from the shadows, he agreed. Apparently the jonin was Akane-san who brought Sora, but they never needed to come out. Nee-chan was impressed by my survival skills, and helped me to cultivate them more." Hina was grinning from ear to ear from the memory.
"I am very ready to get teams. I'm not number one kunoichi, but that is because Nee-chan doesn't teach us what the Academy does. She helps when we need it, or teaches us different subjects. I am a close second, but my grades dragged me down a bit." Hina shrugged, not truly bothered by it.
"Very good, Hyuga-san. Very well put together. Duck-Ass, you may begin." Kaida said with a mischievous tone at the end.
The girls giggled at his nickname.
"What did you call me?" Sasuke asked with a low, dark tone.
"Duck-Ass. Now get on with it. Do you really want to miss getting assigned to a team?" Kaida threatened.
Sasuke could feel Hina and Naruto's glares.
"Hn, whatever. Thanks to Nee-chan, I have gotten stronger. She's helped me learn more of the Clan's abilities, and she's been training me in Politics and how to act as Clan Head. I still refuse to become the Head though. Nee-chan is a natural at it, and I prefer looking up to her. If it wasn't for her, I'd be lost and alone, still seeking my original revenge. She is wise, charismatic, and friend to many. She has good relations with the other Clan Heads, has close ties to the Kazekage and Raikage, is loved by the Hokage, and is a friendly acquaintance of the Mizukage. She deserves it." Sasuke said, completely sure of himself.
"Nee-chan has become a well known konoichi and has recently gained the Jonin title. Rumor is, is that she'd planning on taking on a genin team in the next few years. Each time I ask, she laughs a bit and says that even she doesn't know. Her and I still meet at the sacred Uchiha ground, and even brought Sora-nee in on everything. We are all working hard to bring back the glory of The Uchiha Clan." Sasuke looked at Sora and saw her nod.
"They don't want me to awaken my Sharingan yet. At first I was angry, but after Nee-chan explained it would make me stronger when I got it, I couldn't really argue. I still hate those annoying fan girls, but I do have more friends. Nee-chan forced me to be social, so now I'm friends with Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji,and Shino. Naruto hangs out with us too, and we all spar and practice together. We have pulled quite a few pranks using Shika's genius, Kiba's guts, Choji's resources (snacks), Shino's bugs, my fame,and Naruto's skill. I still don't know how Naruto was able to escape ANBU the time we pranked them. I even got caught." Sasuke stared at the grinning blonde.
"Hehe, it's necessary as future Hokage, believe it!" Naruto gave a mischievous grin.
"Whatever, Dobe. Anyway, Nee-chan has got me training in Kenjutsu, and even went deep into the Uchiha Library to find a powerful sword from the Waring state era. She also found a sickle and chain and connected it to her Gunbai. People secretly call the Madara reincarnated. Whenever any of us tell her we heard this, she starts often says it's a compliment, especially with how powerful he was. When the Hokage talked to her about it, she reassured him that she wasn't even a decedent of his." Sasuke continued.
"Really? I thought you were all related." Naruto said.
"Nee-chan's family had a history of marrying outside the clan. According to the records, the only common ancestor we share is the progenitor of the Uchiha Clan. She hold none of the same blood as me or even the great Madara. The Hokage was relieved to hear that. Nee-chan knows the basics with swordplay, but she can only do so much. She thinks whoever my sensei will be can teach me. She doesn't let me train with the sword, only practice wooden ones." Sasuke continued.
"Good job, Duck-Ass. Naruto, oh adorable one, you may go now." Kaida told the bubbly blonde boy.
"Ok, Kaida-chan. Well, Nee-chan has been helping me the best she can with Fuinjutsu. She gets me the books and lets me study. It took me a long time to completely understand the Theory of it all, so I'm only just starting basics. Nee-chan says she'll only move me up after I completely master the basics. So far I'm still working on explosive tags and basic sealing scrolls. I'm still dead last, but Nee-chan says it's because most of the teachers are assholes. Can't say I disagree after what happened last night with Mizuki-sensei. I'm glad that Iruka-sensei believes in me. Nee-chan came home from a mission during the confusion, and she was NOT happy." Naruto and everyone shuddered as they remembered what Hitomi's reaction was.
"Anyway, so I'm going to be a ninja and get on an awesome ninja team when we wake up, believe it!" Naruto yelled excitedly.
"So what about Shiki and E?" Kaida asked.
"Oh, Shiki became a jonin around the same time as Nee-chan, and E is hoping to gain the title this year. It's still his goal to become the next Sanin. Shiki did a reverse summon thing and got the contract of the wolves, while E found the tiger summons and signed with them. They still do missions together, but E has been a bit busy since his sister was born. E was 14 when little Kaede was born. The girl is almost four now, and is super adorable. I've never seen Kin-san so ...well ... happy and not scary. E and Nee-chan says that's how he usually is, but I still don't believe them. Shiki likes helping Shika with the Clan Techniques." Naruto rambled on a bit.
"Good job, everyone. When you all wake up, none of you will remember any of this." Kaida told them.
"Wha-" Naruto began before he started opening his eyes. Looking around his room, he saw the hitai-ite he had gotten last night. He smiled, remembering Iruka-sensei's words.
"I'm gonna be Hokage. Believe it!" He yelled, getting ready for the day.
"Can't have those brats knowing I'm the author. It was fun though. Maybe I'll do it again." Kaida said to herself as she looked on.

Sorry about mistakes in these. They are un-edited and I don't plan on doing any editing until this is finished. I get some people might not like a lot of the choices I make, but this is just something I'm writing for fun. I'll try to use suggestions and ideas, however this is still my story and I will write what I want. The fact that others may like it too is the icing on the cake.
My favorite song? Currently it is "I'm Gonna Show You Crazy" Nightcore Version.
QotC: Favorite Naruto Character?
Special thanks to RadioPoisoning, Mo-Freakin, davycrockett100, jaguar, and One Eyed Writer. I appreciate all your reviews and will try to correct more issues in the future as well as change point of veiw. As previously mentioned, I'll not fix earlier mistakes until Hitomi is completed, and I do not plan on changing how Hitomi survives... My choices are probably not the most realistic, but it makes me happy.
Hope you all are enjoying this though! ^^
