Kitsune's POV

Naruto had crashed after a Senchiha Clan member brought him some ramen. Kushina was most likely in the kitchen with Nozomi.

I walked around the Temple on my own. It had been a long time since I had been here. There were still many blank walls for future generations stories. I had a feeling Naruto's would be on one of these walls someday. Only the Jinchuriki who have left their mark on our heritage were put on these walls.

I walked into the Common Room to find dozens of Clan members and some of the Jinchuriki talking, lounging, just doing what ever really. I noticed Emi was controlling a beam of light and focusing it on several spots on the floor which some of my younger siblings eagerly chased. I shook my head. But I was glad they were enjoying themselves.

I turned and left for my favorite spot in the entire Temple. It was a small cliff that lie just near the edge of the summit. I took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.

"It's quite a sight isn't it?" Kuro came and sat beside me.

"It is."

"I'm sorry I dragged you to this dimension. But it was that or Satsuki would have gotten dragged into our war torn world. And the centuries long war here had just ended. I didn't want that child to know it so young."

"I understand. Besides it's not like time is going anywhere fast back home." I said. "But I do miss her."

"Ariana?"

I nodded. "And mom."

"Well I think this goes without saying but all of us do." He looked to the stars. "Did you know Sumi never wept over mom's death?"

"No... I didn't." This surprised me completely.

He sighed. "Beautiful... Just beautiful..." He muttered. "Did you know this is where I entered this dimension. Why time doesn't move here. I'm glad too. This is the most beautiful places I've ever been. Including places back home."

"I must disagree with you there. Konoha-"

"Well to each their own." Kuro said cutting me off.

Kuro used to be the so tempermental. Now... He's change so much, while the rest of us have barely changed at all. Who'd have thought one child could make so much difference...

Kushina's POV

Nozomi left while there was still half a cheesecake left, which is strange for her. Or at least the her I used to know. Minutes later Tsukiko walked in.

"Hey, Meinai Shi." I said shoving another piece of cheesecake in my mouth.

"Hey, Tomato." She said.

I stuck my tongue out at her. "I can't believe you remember that. And come on! I call you 'Death That Cannot Be Seen' and you call me by that old name?" I playfully let my Cloak come on a little bit.

Tsukiko laughed. "Like I'm scared of you Pepper."

"It's Habanero!" I said. Tsukiko laughed again. "So how does it feel to be home?"

Tsukiko sighed. "It feels great. I really missed this place. Emi said my clothes are boring and that she's going to design me some new ones."

"Well I agree with Emi." I said. "You always were in need a fasion help!"

"Hey!" Tsukiko said.

"I remember dragging you into a few stores and you picked out the plainest clothes." I said.

"I still have the marks from the last time." Tsukiko said.

"Burn marks from Yugito?"

"Yep." She said rolling up her long sleeves revealing the burn marks from when Yugito accidentally hurt her. "We're Jinchuriki. Stuff happens." She shrugged.

"I still can't believe how much Nozomi has changed." I said.

"She's not the little girl she used to be. She's grown..." Tsukiko said as she bit into a slice of cheesecake and pointed her fork at me. "In more ways than one. She no longer needs constant reassurance. She is more confident in who she is. She knows the three possible out comes of her life."

"Only three?" I asked.

"Yes... One: She dies young again dying for hundreds of lives in battle but ending a war in the process. Two: She and her husband live a long and happy life together with children, grandchildren... Three:..." Tsukiko trailed off.

"What's wrong? What's the third possibility?" I pressed. "Tell me!" I banged my fist off the counter, causing what was left of the cheesecake to fall on the ground.

"She didn't say..."

"And you didn't look into her mind to find out?" I glared at her.

"I respect her too much to do so. She had the visions not me." Tsukiko said sadly. "And when she says don't ask.." She became serious, her violet eyes were hard and cold. "You don't."

Lady Satsuki's POV

It was only two hours until the next Meeting would begin. Today they would find out Kushina would be completing the Transfer. Only Kushina, Nozomi, Yugito and Tsukiko knew about the Transfer besides me. I sighed from my favorite spot in the Temple. It wasn't even in the Temple actually. It was one of the old training grounds that had been forgotten over time. Now it was a field. I remember many training sessions with many of the past Jinchuriki. Now that was done in the Court Yard.

Tomorrow will be both a joyous and sorrowful day for the Jinchuriki. One would die and an other would be another step closer to his destiny.

Tsunade's POV

The Village looked calm and peaceful in the light of dusk. But the civilian view couldn't be more different from the military perspective. We have no idea when or how Kushina got out of the Village undetected.

At least Naruto is still with Jiraiya... She can't complete the Transefer without Naruto... Would... Would Jiraiya agree with Kushina and just hand Naruto over? He wouldn't-

"Hime..." Dam it! What is he doing here? "Guess who I lost..."
