~Kenmei's POV~

I woke up this morning after sleeping next to Jiraiya only to find Naruto gone. I got up, brushed my hair, and got dressed. I walked out of the room to get some fresh air only to find Naruto outside sitting on the bench. I sat next to him seeing that he had a thinking face on. I placed a hand on his should causing him to look at me.

"Is there something on your mind, Naruto?" I asked him. He looked at me for a second then looked down.

"I heard your conversation with Pervy Sage last night," he stated. My eyes widened. "I heard about the part where you were with another guy before him…who was it?" He asked me. I looked down and sighed.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I told him. He grasped my hand.

"You can tell me, I'll believe you," he said to me. I nodded.

"It was…Orochimaru," I told him. I heard him gasp. "Before you say anything, there was a time when he was a good man, we were friends before we were Genin. When I first met Jiraiya, I knew I had a crush on him as soon as I looked into his eyes, truth is I also had a crush on Orochimaru. They both treated me so well, the thing is, I thought Jiraiya liked Tsunade, so when we were put on teams, it kind of hurt me when he talked to her. I started spending more time with Orochimaru and we grew even closer, we started dating during the Chuunin Exams. Six and half years later, he asked me to marry him, I was so happy…but a month later, that changed. Turns out Orochimaru was doing experiments to make himself immortal. I was one of the Anbu that saw him do it when Sarutobi-Sensei and I went to investigate. When Orochimaru left, it hurt me, turns out he wanted to come back for me. When he did, I put up a fight, it didn't go well, and I was kidnapped in the end. The worst part was when…when he…" I couldn't say that as I felt tears prick my eyes. I stood up and faced away from Naruto so he couldn't see me.

~Naruto's POV~

As I was hearing her story, I could hear how much she had once loved Orochimaru, but in the end, it's like she feared him. She couldn't finished the sentence as I saw tears in her eyes. She stood up and faced away from me so I couldn't see her.

"I'm going to go find out the whereabouts of Tsunade. Can you wake Jiraiya up so you can start training?" She asked me. I nodded and stood up.

"Okay," I murmured. She walked off and I went back to the room to see Pervy Sage still sleep. I woke him up and we got ready to train. We made it to the area, he stopped and looked around. "Auntie Kenmei went to gather information of Tsunade," I told him. He nodded with a sigh. I kept thinking about what Auntie Kenmei said and what she didn't say, I can't help it, I looked at Pervy Sage. "What happened between Auntie Kenmei and Orochimaru?" I asked him. He stiffened, keeping his back towards me.

"That's not really a great subject to talk about, Naruto," he told me, he then looked at me. "It not only hurts her but it hurts me as well," he said. I looked down.

"I want to be able to help her, but I can't do that if I don't know what's going on," I said to him. I heard him sigh.

"When Mei was kidnapped she was…she was…she was raped by Orochimaru," he told me. My eyes widened, she went through that hell?! "When we found her it was like her soul just died, she looked just like Sasuke did," he told me. I thought about the last time I saw Sasuke, he was just sitting there, motionless, seeing Auntie Kenmei like that…it hurts to think about it. "Now, you see why we don't like to talk about? I see the look on your face and the emotion in your eyes, it hurts, doesn't it?" He asked me. I nodded. He placed a hand on my head. "Let just focus on the Jutsu and forget about what I just said, okay?" He asked me. I nodded again and we got to work.

~Tenshi's POV~

I woke up in the hospital feeling a warm furry body next to me. I turned to my right to see Tamotsu laying right next to me. I moved a hand and started petting his head causing him to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw me causing his eyes to widen and his mouth to grin. He started licking my face making me laugh. He was alike a puppy all over again.

"Tenshi! I was so worried! Don't you ever worry me like that again! You almost died!" He exclaimed. I nodded and looked around.

"Where's Sasuke?" I asked. He sighed and looked at the curtain beside me. He jumped off the bed to move the curtain and I saw him. He was pale but looked like he was asleep. I then remembered what Itachi did to him.

"I see you're awake," a girl said. I turned to my left and saw Sakura at the door with a sad smile. She walked up to me. "How are you?" She asked me.

"I feel better, but…" I trailed off looking at Sasuke, I wanted to cry seeing him like that. "I-is he going to be okay?" I stuttered. She sighed.

"I don't know," she told me. I then felt tears as I remembered his screams.

"I can still hear his screams and I couldn't protect him…dammit!" I said slamming my fist into the mattress. Sakura placed a hand on my shoulder as Tamotsu laid down beside me.

"Tenshi, it's not your fault, I was there too, I know you tried to help him but there was nothing you could do, we were too busy fighting Tori and Mamoru," he told me.

"Tori and Mamoru? You mean…?" Sakura's eyes widened as I nodded.

"Yeah, our siblings, they're alive but…they aren't the same. They hate us, they think we betrayed them," I told her. I felt more tears running down my cheeks, Sakura sat next to me and hugged me letting me cling to her and cry on her shoulder. Tamotsu's ears flattened against his head as he laid his head on my lap. After a couple days, I was released from the hospital. I sat in the Hokage office and did the paper work that needed to be done, I even assigned Uncle Asuma's team a mission. After I gave them the mission they looked at me.

"Tenshi, are you okay?" Ino asked me with worried eyes. I guess I looked horrible considering I haven't really slept.

"Yeah, you look exhausted," Shikamaru told me. I looked at them to see they were all worried.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried about Sasuke," I told them. Choji and Ino nodded while Shikamaru and Uncle Asuma looked at me with worried eyes.

"There's more to it, you're worried about your sister and Mamoru," Uncle Asuma said to me. I looked at them then sighed nodding my head.

"Yeah, I mean, they died seven years ago and out of nowhere they're alive, worst part is that they think Tamotsu and I are traitors. They hate us. And now, I have a feeling that something is going to happen with Naruto, Uncle Jiraiya, and Auntie Kenmei. I think Orochimaru is involved but I'm not sure," I told them. They nodded in understanding. "Guys, I want you to be extra careful out there, we don't just have Orochimaru to worry about anymore; we have the Akatsuki Organization against us as well. They already attack Uncle Asuma, Aunt Kurenai, and my dad. They also attack Naruto, Sasuke, Tamotsu, and I, you've already heard what happened. They are strong S-Class criminals from the Bingo Book. Choji, Ino, Shikamaru, I want you three to over the Bingo Book just to be safe, I don't want any of you hurt as well," I said to them. They nodded and with that they left. I sat in my desk for the next few hours working on paperwork. I looked at the clock to see it was almost three, I needed to see Sasuke before visiting hours were over. I put away my remaining paperwork and went to the hospital. When I got to Sasuke's room, I sat down and held his hand, I brought it up to my lips to kiss it. "Sasuke, please be okay…I don't know what I'll be able to do without you in my life," I whispered to him. I then looked at the curse mark…Orochimaru, what the hell are you up to? I looked out the window. "Naruto, hurry up, we need you," I whispered.

~Kenmei's POV~

I went to find Jiraiya to tell him about Tsunade and when I did, I found him watching Naruto from afar. I walked up behind him wrapping my arms around his waist, I felt him place his hands over mine.

"What did you find out?" He asked me.

"She's is Tanzakugai. Raiya, I think that while you're training Naruto, I'll go find her, I need to have a talk with her anyway," I told him. I heard him sigh and he turned around in my arms, he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and kissed my head as I listened to his heartbeat.

"Just be careful," he told me. I nodded as I pulled away to look at him, I got on my tip toes and kissed him.

"I'll see you soon, I love you," I said to him. He kissed my forehead.

"I love you too," he said to me. With that said, I left heading for Tsunade. It took me a little bit but I finally made it. I asked around until I saw a woman with black hair holding a pig.

"Are you looking for Lady Tsunade?" She asked me. I nodded.

"Yes, she's an old friend of mine," I smiled. She smiled back at me and had me follow her. Of course, Tsunade was at a casino. When I got there, I saw a machine that showed four sevens, they all had a frog, a snake, a slug, and a wolf. "You're getting a bad feeling too aren't you old friend," I said to her. She turned with wide eyes, she ran to me with a grin on her face as she hugged me.

"Kenmei! It's been forever, how are you?" She asked me.

"I'm fine, yourself?" I asked her.

"I could be better. How's Tenshi, Tori, and Yuki, I miss them," she said to me. I looked down. This is going to be hard to tell her. "What's wrong?" She asked me.

"When was the last time you them?" I asked her.

"It's been about eight years now, why?" She asked me. I sighed.

"Tsunade, you may want to sit down for this," I said as we walked outside. She sat down on a bench as I sat next to her. I grabbed her hands and took a deep breath. "Seven years ago…the Ookami no Clan was slaughtered, only Tenshi and Tamotsu made it out alive," I told her. Her eyes were wide with shock and tears. She shook her head not wanting to believe it. "But, Tori and Mamoru are alive as well. Tenshi thought they were dead, turns out the Akatsuki saved them, Tori is trying to kill Tenshi because she thinks Tenshi betrayed her and the village," I told her. She was now pacing with tears streaming down her cheeks. I walked up to her and hugged her as she then clung to me crying into my shoulder. Soon she called down.

"Where is Tenshi?" She asked me.

"She's in Konoha, she's filling in as the temporary Hokage. I'll tell you this, she has grown into a beautiful young lady. She even has an Uchiha as a boyfriend," I laughed a little bit at the last part. She giggled a little bit.

"If all the Uchiha boys were alive, they would be all over her. This Uchiha boy is lucky to have her, she's a sweetheart through and through," she told me. I nodded in agreement with her.

"She's also Jounin level, but she can do two Anbu level Jutsus," I told her making her eyes widen in shock.

"No way! She's only thirteen and she can do that?!" She exclaimed. I laughed and nodded.

"She's a lot like her father, always driving to be the best, but keeping her mother's good heart, good combination if I do say so myself," I told her. She nodded. "Oh yeah, and she can summon Yuzuki," I told her. She sighed and shook her head with a smile.

"That girl never ceases to amaze me," she said to me. I laughed at the truthful fact. The next day we walked to Tanzaku Castle. Unfortunately…something happened. The Castle was exploded to bits, when the smoke cleared, I saw my worst fear.

"Orochimaru…"I breathed in fear. He looked at Tsunade and me.

"I finally found you both," he said to us. Jiraiya where are you? He looked at me. "My darling fiancée, it's been a long time," he said to me. I gritted my teeth.

"In case you haven't heard, I'm not your fiancée anymore you bastard!" I growled. He merely chuckled.

"But don't you remember that wonderful night we last saw each other?" He asked me.

"You mean when you raped me!" I shouted at him. Tsunade had to hold me back before I could hurt him. I felt the hunter in my rage as I looked at the prey. He and his companion jumped down and stood in front of us.

"It's been quite a while, Orochimaru," Tsunade glared.

"I've looked all over for you two," Orochimaru said to us.

"What have you got with us now? Better not be trying to waste our time talking about old days," Tsunade said to him.

"I have a little favor to ask of you both," he told us. He looked really sick, I smirked, way to go Sarutobi-Sensei.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Kenmei, I assume you've already figured it out," Kabuto told us.

"You can go find someone else, I've quit being a doctor," Tsunade pointed out.

"And of course I would know, I was there during the attack," I smirked causing Orochimaru and Kabuto to glare at me. Kabuto looked at Tsunade.

"We can't do that. You see, this wound…no one else can cure it but you Lady Tsunade, one of the Legendary three Shinobi, a medical specialist, you alone can cure it," Kabuto told her.

"That wound on your arm is not an ordinary wound, what have you done to it?" She asked him. I smirked again and chuckled making everyone look at me.

"It was a little memento from Sarutobi-Sensei when Orochimaru attacked the village," I said to her. I then frowned. "He died making sure Orochimaru can't do Jutsus anymore," I told her. Tsunade looked at him with a glare.

"Heh, don't make a scary face like that, something with form is destined to crumble, same goes for people. You too, know of this since you lost four of your most beloved," Orochimaru smirked at her making Tsunade glared harder. "Hehe, those were certainly horrible ways to die," he said to her. Tsunade looked at me.

"What did you ever see in him?" She asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Honestly, I have no idea, maybe I felt sorry for him," I smirked making Orochimaru growl at me. Heh, take that bastard. Shizune then went to attack using a weapon that was on her arm but Kabuto stopped them.

"Calm down, Shizune," Tsunade said.

"Orochimaru, you haven't changed one bit," I said to him. Tsunade and I looked up with fake friendly smiles.

"You know how we are don't you? Don't kid with us," We both said. We both then glared. "We'll kill you," we growled. We both punch the wall behind us practically turning it into dust.

"We're not here to fight, we came here to negotiate," Kabuto said. I scoffed while rolling my eyes.

"I said it once, get out of my sight," Tsunade said to them.

"You're the only one who can cure his arm, we're not saying it will be a one way bargain, let's make a deal," Kabuto said to us.

"I'll count to five, get out then, or else," Tsunade growled.

"Please calm down," Kabuto said.

"Five…four…three…" Tsunade counted. I looked at them.

"I'd get out of here if you want to live," I told them. They didn't move.

"Two…one…" she finished. Orochimaru sighed.

"I can revive you brother, the men you loved, and your daughter with the forbidden seal I have developed," Orochimaru told her. Tsunade just stood there shocked. "You haven't killed us yet, do we have a deal?" He asked her. She didn't say anything. "Don't you want to meet them again, Tsunade?" He asked her. I looked at her.

"Tsunade, I know how tempting it is, trust me, I want Yuki back too, but we know there bound to be a catch when it comes to Orochimaru, how do we know it will really be them?" I asked her. She sighed.

"If I cure your arms what are you planning on doing?" She asked him. My eyes widened. She can't seriously be considering this?!

"I hate to lie to you both, so, I guess I'll let you in on the truth, I'm getting what I want…I'm going to obliterate the Leafs for one last time," he said to us. That bastard. Shizune started fighting with Tsunade about who she shouldn't accept the deal while I felt a familiar presence. It was Jiraiya and Naruto. By the time I came back to reality, Orochimaru was gone. We left and went to a bar where Tsunade was drowning her sorrows in beer. I hate seeing her like this. That's when I heard someone come in, I turned and saw them.

"Tsunade! Mei!" Jiraiya called. I jumped up and ran to him landing in his arms.

"It's about time you showed up!" I said to him. I saw Naruto and hugged him which he hugged back. "Hey, Naruto, how's the Rasengan?" I asked him.

"I'm getting there," he said to me.

"Jiraiya, why are you at a place like this?" Tsunade asked.

"We finally found you," he said to her. we all sat down, I was in between Jiraiya and Naruto while Tsunade and Shizune were across from us.

"Today, Kenmei and I met with someone that brings back bad memories," Tsunade said to me and her. I nodded making Jiraiya grab my hand giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Orochimaru? Did anything happen?" He asked us.

"Nothing much, just a little greeting," Tsunade said to him. He looked at me and I gave him a look that said I would tell him later. "You too, why did you come to see me?" She asked him. I sighed.

"It's why I came here as well, Tsunade. Konoha has issued a request for to become the fifth Hokage," I told her. Jiraiya nodded while Naruto spat out his food to the side. I looked at Jiraiya. "She already knows about the Third from Orochimaru," I told him. He nodded at me.

"Who the hell is this snake bastard?! All I know is that he killed everyone in Tenshi's village!" Naruto shouted. He then looked at me. "And that you were his fiancée," he told me. I nodded.

"He was with us, members of the 'Four Ninjas'," Jiraiya told him.

"What the hell?! Weren't the 'Four Ninjas' from the Leaf? Then why?!" He asked us.

"Who is this boy?" Tsunade asked.

"Naruto Uzumaki," Jiraiya smirked. Her eyes widened in realization. She looked at me and nodded confirming her thoughts. "So are you willing to accept this?" He asked her.
