Chapter 1

after the breakfast was fully eaten boys did go to get ready to play outside while their mother reminisced about the faithful day 5 years ago, while she couldn't let them know about that day she still wondered why did that have to happen.

*5 YEARS AGO*

she stood and was feeding her 5 month old son, she wondered how Kushina-san were doing at her childbirth, while she was thinking about that she heard loud crash and saw something unthinkable Nine Tailed Beast was roaming around the village and attacking indiscriminately everything.

Her thoughts were racing between the absolute terror at the situation, worry about Kushina and what had happened to her and where should she take Menma, her beloved son.

Slowly her husband she saw that he was getting ready to go help the village fight against the Bijuu but before he could go he saw her face and got close to her and said following words that seemed like a dream to her now.

"Aiko-chan please take Menma to the closest shelter and don't worry about Kushina and Minato I'm sure they are fine" then he proceeds to leave her to help the villagers to the shelter while she knew that what he said was correct course of action she decided to change it a little bit.

Instead of being with Menma in the shelter she left him inside hoping that Kyuubi won't come close to that peculiar shelter and she rushed to where Minato and Kushina were living knowing that HE would take them there.

But when she got there there was no one inside, she decide to do the most dangerous thing she could do.

She ran as fast as she could to get there in time seeing chains that only Kushina could manifest, she got there but not fully in time she saw bloodied Kushina who looked at her tired.

Her body looked like she was being not only impaled but burned as well, before she could say anything Kushina looked at her and said few words

"Aiko-san please take care of my son" she heavily moved the blanketed boy in her arms toward her "his name is Naruto" before she could do anything except grab the boy Kushina collapsed. She looked at the young boy that started to sniffle and after that everything seemed like hazy dream Hiruzen-Sama taking her to her house with the boys looking at her with heavy heart and informing her that her husband has died saving civilians from the beast rampage.

Then there was the day of Funeral of everyone that died she was on the ceremony looking empty while her friends were there to comfort her that didn't help with growing emptiness in her, after few months later when Naruto said his first word "Mama?" looking at his little face made her cry and shout that yes she is here.

*TODAY*

while on the way to the playground Aiko with the boys met her friend Inuzuka Tsume with her son Kiba, while she looked at the three boys talking with each other she smiled while Kiba and Naruto were jabbing each other while Menma was chuckling at the other two, she couldn't stop smiling, she then proceeded to talk with Tsume about her latest mission, when they were at the playground they saw they small group of friends Yoshino Nara with her son Shikamaru Nara, Cho Akimichi and her son Choji Akimichi, and lastly Mine Uchiha and her son Mokoto Uchiha.

Shikamaru's hair were of a medium length and were tied into a short and spiky ponytail, his face was contorted by continues boredom and laziness, with black being the color of his eyes, he wore simple T-shirt in a Grey color, with dark Grey colored shorts being to knee length with blue ninja sandals.

Being the laziest of the group he most often says that the games they play are troublesome, he will still play those games mostly because as they are doing what Naruto or Kiba want same goes if Shikamaru wants to do something group won't be too happy but will comply.

Kiba Inuzuka has similar hair to Naruto with it being unruly, only difference is that his hair is brown, his eyes are black and in shape of a slits. His face has a two fang looking like tattoos that are Red colored

He is wearing a black sweater with Akamaru, his dog companion, snugly tucked inside of it, with Beige pants and Black boots.

He and Naruto have sort of a friendly rivalry between them that keeps pushing them to do better then the other one.

Choji Akimichi has slightly longer hair then Kiba, while it keeps being as unruly, and is a brunet. His eyes are amber colored with his face having whirlpool tattoos on his cheeks.

He wears sweater with it being colored in two shades of green the upper one being almost white/Gray and lower one dark green. He wears dark Gray shorts that reach to his knees and has standard blue sandals.

His personality is rather passive compared to his friends but with them he learned to at least address his wants, which most often is eating something and not a single one of them would have stopped if it wasn't for Choji.

Makoto Uchiha has straight black hair with spiky ends that reach his chin, with his black lively eyes and friendly demeanor he could become friends with almost anybody, his outfit is made out of sleeveless shirt in the dark blue color with a crest of his clan with a lightning strike behind it to represent the branch of the clan, with black shorts and black sandals.

Makoto is as energetic as Naruto and Kiba being one of the distinctive traits of the branch that they are the most energetic Uchiha you will see in your life and most of them being rather friendly and loyal to their friends.

While the boys were playing the ninja game the Mothers were chatting among themselves and keeping a close eye on their pupils.

Meanwhile in the Hokage Tower.

Hiruzen was in the middle of doing the paperwork. When he stretched his sore muscles from the paperwork, he looked at the calendar and saw the date, only one thought ran through his head and it was that Naruto and Menma will start training with Aiko tomorrow, while he was ecstatic that Aiko could poll through the loss of her best friend, husband and take care of her own child and her best friend's child, he couldn't stop wondering what happened week after the kyuubi's attack.

*5 YEARS AGO*

the funeral happened yesterday but it wasn't the end of his problem cause the Kage of the unknown to him village was right in front of him and there was no mistaking that he was Kage cause of his presence that even the old kage could barely withstand.

To his left was standing Jiraya who was sweating profusely the moment he saw the stranger,

and right in front of him was young lad no older then 19 years with presence that he was exuding to just get the unnecessary questions and after knowing that they knew that he was a Kage in strength, he stopped imposing his presence on them and had let them breathing time.

"before you ask yes I am a Kage to be precise the Shirokage, reason why you didn't hear about me is cause I had founded the village rather recently. My name is Hirase Tetsuki"

Said the lad before any questions could be asked looking at them calmly with his pale blue eyes that they felt could see their souls, he's looks normally would be rather unassuming except his white as snow short hair while being clad in black shirt that barely could hide his muscles showing his years of training, and the black cargo pants which had many scrolls hid in them. With black boots that could be used in the harshest of the terrains, all of it was clad in his White robe that had written on it "Shodai Shirokage".

After short pause to let them process all of the information he continued "I would like to offer a trade deal with Konoha, I am offering you the furs and rich veins of chakra infused iron, for the high value wood that you have at your disposal and other supplies like shurikens etc. obviously I would like to get some food supplies for my village too" he paused for a moment to let it sink and waited for their response.

After gathering his breath Hiruzen asked "I'm not sure if I understand correctly but you want to give us such a resources for almost nothing? If I wasn't as old and experienced in this job I would have taken this offer without thinking whats the hook?"

the stranger just smiled and look right into Hiruzen's eyes "I'm not only asking for those supplies that are really hard to get where we live but I want to offer a mutually assured defense pact against any and all enemies."

"we can't do such a thing without knowing what we are singing for we will accept the trade deal but we need much more knowledge about your village to decide if we can risk having strong enemies."

Hirase didn't really look surprised and just nodded to the Hiruzen and Jiraya and went to go back to his village "ah iron will be here in a month I except that you will exchange it for what I asked."

*TODAY*

Hiruzen just glimpsed upon the small rough ore of a sky blue ore, still thinking about his offer and deciding that he would like to learn more about this little village from the Kage himself.
