Hello readers and welcome to my Sarada/Naruto/OC Fanfic. This is the second fic I've made. It's an effort to write something grand and complicated. My grammar is not great, so there are bound to be mistakes here and there. Also, this is a slow burn. Fingers crossed I can deliver. I hope you enjoy it!

The story also exists on AO3 and Wattpad. Same username and title. Versions in Spanish and English.

This story contains some OOC (I'll explain it in the story), violence, profanity, sexual themes, angst, and horrible attempts at humor.

Sunset falls. The light of dusk gleams upon an empty city. Night winds sigh making itself felt as it travels among the saplings and soil. Roots of the forest reach the city covering the pavements and buildings in verdancy. From the structures buried in flora, out came water, that falls into the shattered streets and flows in the ground like rivers.

The melodies of birds chipping echo throughout the ruined city. A herd of deer wanders among the deserted roads living their lives. Multiple birds fly above without care.

One of the bird's lands on a headband. It was rusty and the cloth was worn. On it was a symbol reminiscent of a leaf. A symbol that has lost meaning long ago.

The bird flew away once its heard footsteps coming. A young boy, of the growing age of thirteen, wanders across the ruins of a once great metropolis. He wore a basic traveling attire and had a backpack stuffed with equipment. On his belt, he had forehead protector warped around it. It had a design that represents the city of sand down south-west from the desolate capital.

He glances up at the architectures with both marvel and heartache. This was previously a home for hundreds of thousands of lives. Where the greatest warriors originate from. But now it was forsaken.

A loud beep came from his walkie-talkie. He could hear a female voice coming from it. The boy grasps the mini radio and replies.

"Mujaki here, over."

The female responds. "Oh, wonderful! The walkies still work here. What about you Yūzai?"

"I'm here, Samayō. No need to worry." Another voice came into the conversation. It was male and had a deep tone.

"Guys you're supposed to say over when you finish speaking," Mujaki informs.

"This isn't a mission, shorty." Yūzai retorts. Mujaki was a bit annoyed with insult but he brushed it to the side.

"Can you believe this place? Is in complete ruins. Hard to think this use to be Konoha." Mujaki comments.

"I always wished to visit Konoha," Samayō confess. "Now it's an exclusion zone. But hey, the view is nevertheless nice."

"Where are you?" Mujaki asks.

"Top floor of a resort. There's a room with a high view of the city and the Village below."

"Careful up there. You can never tell with these buildings." Yūzai orders.

"Yeah, yeah." Samayō notices the sun setting. "Boys, I guess we should camp for the night."

"All right. Where should we rendezvous?" Yūzai asks the others.

"Let's meet in front of the resort. We can work from there."

"Perfect, heading there now."

"Roger."

Mujaki puts away the walkie-talkie and strolls towards the hotel. While traveling he notices that some constructions were damaged. Like if some tremendous battle had taken place here. Mujaki remained focus trying his best not to get distracted.

He heard the ground the crumble behind him. Mujaki turns and draws a kunai. He searches for the cause of the sound. He saw was a huge snake slowly heading towards him. He panics.

"No! No! Scram, I'm not food!"

Mujaki throws the kunai at the snake. It bounced of it doing nothing to it. Shocked, Mujaki trips backward. The snake rises over him peering into his eyes.

"You traveled far sand-dweller." The serpent said. Mujaki was in awe that the snake could speak. He worriedly questions it.

"Are you going to eat me?"

"No, no, no. Human taste dreadful. I wanted to know why you're here."

"I… I'm just passing by."

"Don't lie to me." The Snake went closer to his face, terrifying him.

"W-We're here for answers! Please, don't kill me."

"Answers? Child look what answers did to the lands. It's a shell." The snake begins to slither away rubbing its long body against Mujaki's chest. "I won't stop you. But be careful of what you are looking for. Ah, and be mindful of the echoes."

The Snake disappears into a small pit. Mujaki was breathing heavily but calms down. He raised up and proceeds towards the hotel holding the Snake's warning in mind.

Mujaki was getting close towards his companions, he just needed to roam across a traditional playground. Suddenly, he heard the laughter of children. They were filled with joy and delight. He could also hear the parents of said children laughing with them. Although the atmosphere of happiness was in the air, Mujaki felt anxious. It was feeling he's used to. It what dismayed him form this New World. Nature behaving differently when it isn't expected to act that way.

He maintains his march forward ignoring all the forgotten voices. From the corner of his eye, he sees a crimson glow from the shadows. That's when he lost his cool. He runs then hides in a corner. He could still hear the echoes but ignores it as he takes out the walkie-talkie.

"Guys, help!" He cries at the radio.

"Mujaki!? What's wrong?" Yūzai hastily replies.

"I think someone's watching me!"

"I'm on my way!" Yūzai yells heading towards his ally.

"Stay put Mujaki. We'll deal with this together!" Samayō announces also rushing towards his side. Mujaki tries to regulate his breathing.

He almost succeeds when from one building a huge brown bear emerges. It was a behemoth, huger than an average bear. The bear notices Mujaki, stands on two and roars. Mujaki screams and dashes away with the bear giving chase. He spins and inhales.

"Wind Style: Devastation!"

Mujaki breathes wind from his mouth trying scare away the bear. But had little to no effect on it. He turns and goes down an alleyway hoping the stairs would slow it down. In his urgency, he slips and tumbles down the rest of the stairs. He was in the ground with the bear rapidly closing the gap between the two.

When Mujaki had given up hope, a figure had dropped in front of him. The bears stop in the presence of the female and rose up. It roars once again but the figure was unmoved. She winds-up her fist and hits a devastating right to the gut. The bear was launched backward. When it pulled up, it turns aside and ascends up the stairs leaving Mujaki and stranger alone.

The stranger faces Mujaki revealing her appearance. She has onyx eyes and hair, which reaches down to her below her shoulders, parts to the right, and tucks behind her ear. Her attire is a red sleeveless qipao shirt, black shinobi sandals, and black a shinobi-style pants with a belt around her waist. On the belt, she had three scrolls of various colors to her side along with small packs and tools. Her left arm had a long black arm warmer, but her right arm was wrapped completely in bandages.

A striking aspect of the stranger was her crimson eyes. It had an exotic look to them, with three black tomoe and a black dot in the middle. Her eyes were radiating power, he could feel it.

Mujaki's eyes reflect on hers. He remained there waiting for something to happen. The Stranger scoffs and walks away. Confused, Mujaki stood up and calls for her.

"Hey!" The Stranger stops and glances at Mujaki. "Thank you."

Mujaki's notices the crest on the back of her shirt. It was comparable to the one he saw in history records his parents hold. In his mind, the dots start to connect.

"You're an Uchiha." The stranger now stares at him. She adjusts her arm warmer.

"Will it cause any problems?" She brutally asks.

"N-no, mam." While originally uninterested the stranger was now curious. She calls for further questions.

"How did you get here?"

"…I got here on foot?"

"Don't treat me like I'm dumb. How did you get here?" She repeats with a severe tone.

"I arrived here without Suna's permission if what you're concerned about."

"The ruins have been ignored by the rest of the world. Not by choice but by instinct. What makes you so distinct?"

Yūzai runs in the alley prepared to defend his teammate. The stranger glace towards him then back at Mujaki. She was unconcerned with Yūzai.

"You dumb bitch, focus on me!" Even with the insult, the Stranger refuses to look at him. She peers up on top of a building and spoke.

"I know you're there, itching to use that puppet of yours." Samayō was astounded that she was found so easily. She takes her puppet and drops next to Mujaki.

"Who are you?" Samayō questions.

"I could say the same about you."

"Enough!" Mujaki shouts. "You're not going hurt us." He boldly proclaims. The Uchiha raises an eyebrow.

"Dude, what are you doing? Samayō aggressively whispers. The Uchiha chuckles.

"Fine, you got me." She crosses her arms. "Besides, you three don't seem like murderers to me."

And with that, all tension in the air dissolved. The Uchiha walk by them and up the stairs. She pauses and gestures.

"You can come with me if you like."

The team hesitate at first but caved in and fallowed the Uchiha. They proceeded to a park where a camp was set up. The Uchiha sits down and sets up a fire. Green flames erupt into existence startling the Suna team.

"Why is the fire green?" Samayō inquires.

"All fire is green colored in the city." The Uchiha exhales a modest volume of fire from her mouth. Came out green. "If flames are formed in the Village, however, then it appears out blue. Reality is all sorts of messed up right now."

"We could tell." Yūzai sits next to the campground. "The Gelel Storms in the Land of Wind are demolishing our homes. Since their so unpredictable everyone lives in contact fear because of them."

"I see…"

"We never learned your name?" Mujaki informs as he lies down next to the campfire.

"Ah, my names Sarada. Sarada Uchiha."

"Uchiha? You're the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Yeah, I was…" Sarada saddens. "Just so you know, I generally choose to be alone. But ever since the Paradigm Shift, I've been itching to talk."

The team could tell. She was desperate for interaction with another human being. Isolation has broken her.

"Well, you can talk to us." Samayō and Yūzai eyes Mujaki. The team never expected to be someone's therapists. "Maybe you hold what we're searching for."

"Search for what? There's nothing here." Sarada states. Something suddenly came to mind; she glares at the unit with her Sharingan. "Unless your searching for the Tailed Beasts. Don't bother, they're gone too."

"Not that. We just want to know why. Why is all of this happening? That's why we showed up here, in the Konoha Ruins."

Sarada remains mute. She takes a stick and pokes at the fire. The other waited for her. Sarada throws the stick in the blaze and opens up.

"I'm alone. Everyone is… gone. Life is different now. Up is down, left is right. And time means nothing." Sarada stares at her bandaged hand. "I don't know who's to blame. Everyone, I presume."

"Is this the Village's making? I assumed it was the Academy." Yūzai said.

"The Academy… Are they still around?" Sarada questions.

"They're everywhere."

"Bastards… They live and we perish. How is that fair?" Sarada whispers.

"What was that?" Samayō said. She couldn't hear Sarada's comment.

"Nothing. What do you what to know?"

"Everything." Mujaki implores. "Anything that can aid us in the new Earth."

"I could explain, but it'll be a lengthy tale to recite."

"We left our homes and cross the capricious wilds to arrive here. I consider a moment to listen to your story is pretty tame." Samayō declares.

"All right let me tell the story…" Sarada frowns and stares into the green fire. "…Of how Konoha fell."

~8 Months before the Paradigm Shift~

Chaotic, it was all just… chaotic. Doctors trying to preserve lives, Nurses going left and right tending the wounds of the casualties and shinobi's were at a complete loss. A pink haired female was directing the workforce, telling them what to do and where to move. Two men enter the hospital and spotted the woman, once she noticed them she ran to them and gave both a hug. The Hokage returned the gesture, the Uchiha was especially glad since it was the first time he's seen his wife after the assault commenced. She lets go and the Hokage spoke:

"What's the casualty?"

"20 confirmed dead, hundreds injured."

"Have any teams pass through yet?" The Uchiha questions.

"Some came through and no loss there… but…" She choked on her own words and commenced to tear up.

"It's okay, they'll pull through." The Uchiha put his hand on his spouse's shoulder and gave her a smile. She wiped away the tears and faced the pair.

"Your right, there are our children after all." Sakura heard her name being called and took her supplies.

"I have work to do so keep an eye out will ya." She dashes to the Nurses and commenced treating a victim. Naruto looked at Sasuke.

"I'll try using Sage Mode to locate the kids and any remaining teams, you get in contact with the clones and concentrate on the safety of the citizens."

"Understood" Sasuke left as Naruto left to the roof, so he can concentrate better.

Half an hour passed and Sakura finally had time to breathe and sink in what had taken place. "(Why is this happening?)" She thought herself. Her reflections were cut short when Naruto ran to her.

"I can't find them!" Naruto said with an unmistakable expression of horror on his face.

"What do mean you can't find them?!" Sakura began to lose it.

"I've searched everywhere, and I can't sense the kids! I've looked at the city, all the Hidden Leaf and even the whole country and they're nowhere to found!"

"T-then we have to seek them on foot!" Sakura dropped everything and was bracing to go but Naruto stops her in her tracks.

"No, I need you here. I'll search for them."

"MY DAUGHTER IS STILL OUT THERE!" Sakura snapped grabbing a few of the doctors' attention. Naruto grabs Sakura by the shoulders and looked at her at the eyes.

"And someone else's Daughter is here, Daughters that require your help. So please stay here, I will find them. Promise." Naruto lets go Sakura and let her compose herself. Once Sakura gave him the nod Naruto left in a flash and jumped out of the nearby window. He performed his signature hand seal, hundreds of clone appeared and when they landed on solid ground they scattered in all direction eclipsing the village in chaos.

Hours had passed with no sign of the team. All other teams have already arrived some with injuries others unscathed, there were now 156 dead and thousands injured. Sasuke and Sakura were waiting in the hospital's entrance along with Naruto who had arrived earlier to see if they had made it. His clones were dealing with the other civilians and searching for the children. Hinata decided she wanted to help, so she left Himawari with Hinabi and was making her path to the Hospital. The entrance was practically empty with only four or five people around waiting to learn about their loved ones.

"Have any Anbu members reported back yet?" Sasuke asks.

"No, I haven't heard any Anbu since the attack began," Naruto responded.

"How could anyone have done such an event. Using children as… as weapons." Sakura clenched her fist with anger seething in her voice.

"They won't get away with this," Naruto declared.

Moments later there was nothing but silence, like calm before the storm. Each waiting for something to take place. Then the ding of the door was heard. The trios panic turned to horror when they saw a beaten Konohamaru hopping with on one leg carrying both an unconscious Sarada and Mizuki on his shoulders.

"SARADA!" yelled both Sasuke and Sakura as they both ran towards the team with Naruto right beside them. Sasuke and Sakura grab Sarada while Naruto grabs Mizuki. Exhausted Konohamaru drops to the floor, Naruto laid Mizuki on the floor and started to tend Konohamaru. Sakura took a glance at Mizuki and was horrified, she shuffled her way to him and tended to his wounds. Out of all the team, Mizuki was the worst, he had cuts and bruises everywhere, multiple stab wounds and was losing a lot of blood.

"I NEED HELP NOW!" Two nurses heard Sakura and rushed to Mizuki's side.

"… mama?…"

Sakura rushed to her Daughter side and grab her hand while Sasuke held her close to him. Sarada wasn't in bad shape as Mizuki was but still. Her mouth was covered in blood like she was vomiting it, signs of internal bleeding.

"It's okay sweetie, Papa and Mama are here." Sakura had tears running down her cheeks when suddenly Sarada snap her head back yanking away her hand and hitting her head on Sasuke's mouth giving him a cut lip. She drops on the floor and was clutching her eyes.

"SARADA! Sarada what's wrong!?" Sakura asks trying to keep her still.

"My eyes… they hurt… hurt… so much…" Sakura was clueless about what was happening but Sasuke had an idea, he knew but didn't want to believe it, not her, not at such a young age. What would cause such a thing?

Naruto was with Konohamaru helping him to sit down, once face to face with the man he considers a brother he asked:

"Konohamaru, where's Boruto?" The room went silent. Sasuke nor Sakura have even realized that Boruto was missing. Doctors and nurses paused and notice that there no trace of the Hokage's son. Everyone looked at Konohamaru waited for a response, with sadness in his eyes tried to look for words but nothing came out, there were only tears. Naruto realized what he was struggling to say, he's the Hokage he knows the risk shinobi take on situations like these but not him, not his own son. Naruto got up and nodding his head in tears running down.

"No… no no no no no, no no no." Naruto can feel his entire world is falling apart he turned around and sauntered to the entrance sobbing refusing to accept this.

The few people that we're there was seeing their Hogake, their leader, some even considered him a God, breaking. The entrance door opened and Hinata walks in who stops when she meets face-to-face with Naruto. She examines the room. People with teary eyes covering their mouths, while Doctors tend to an unconscious Mizuki. Konohamaru was crying. Sakura weeping holding an again unconscious Sarada, while Sasuke was standing in disbelief. And no sign of her son.

She focused back on Naruto and connects the pieces in the puzzle. There were no words, sounds or gestures. Tears began to fall on her cheeks as she took steps back, her body went limp landing on her knees. Naruto quickly went to her aid only to pulled into a hug. In a single day their perfect world was destroyed, their firstborn child, gone, so they continued to cry, what else could they do.

~4 Months Later~

The night was calm as the city streets were not very populated around this time. People were either in stores working or talking with others. There were buildings were mixed with the old and new, one was taller the rest giving a good view of the village. At the outside of the building, up high, was figure wearing a black coat and had a damaged cat mask on. She was laying on the side of the building listening, watching, waiting. She was growing bored with the waiting and let out a sigh.

The figure's train of thought was interrupted when she spotted two individuals entered a small building. She puts away the photo and a leaped across the next building making her way down. Landing on her target's location she positioned herself on top of the roof. Extending her middle and index finger letting chakra runs through her eyes. Her vision expanded letting her see a 360-degree angle, see kilometers away and see through buildings. She saw her targets, one female one male and both had a dragon tattoo on their necks, at a Nyotaimori restaurant. She prep the roof days earlier allowing her to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"We should take off while we still can, can't get cocky on enemy territory." Said the man.

"Nerves getting to ya aye? Scared that the big bad Vigilante might show up?" The Women responded.

"No, it's called being smart. We should report back; the Hybrid is not in the city."

"And leave the Village already but I haven't gone to the fun stuff yet. Besides if the Anbu haven't found us, I doubt the Vigilante will either. Now then." The Women began rubbing the worker's leg and slowly made her way up then inappropriately touch her. The worker clenched struggling to avoid the Women's hand and not drop the food at the same time.

"Hey, leave her alone." The man grabs her other arm trying to stop to no avail.

"What? I'm only giving her the tip. Now be a good girl and moan for me." The Women held down the worker's head with one hand and continued to rub with the other.

The Vigilante saw enough; she pressed two fingers one high one low on her collar causing it to glow softly. After a series of hand signs, she began to phase through the ceiling and landed on top of the thug's hitting them with each foot. The table broke, and the worker scurried into a corner in the room. Recovering quickly, the women grab a sharp piece of wood and swung at Vigilante only to be struck back down thanks to a palm strike to the chest. The man rose and tried to hit the Vigilante with a right fist; the Vigilante ducked and went for a leg swipe but the man jumped.

She continued to rotate then extended her arm when the man touched down on his feet he was meet with an elbow to the face. An audible crack could be heard as fell hard on the floor unconscious. With her enhanced vision, she looked at the women getting up. She dashed towards her, clutching her by the neck and slammed her into the wall and squeezed cutting away her oxygen.

"Who's the Hybrid?" Her voice was cold, stern and freighting.

"G-go to hell!"

"I'm already in it." The Vigilante put her other hand on the women's sides next to her chest.

"Oh, honey if wanted to ha-" The vigilante's hand began to faze inside the woman's body passing through her organs. Her whole body hiccup when the vigilante's hand stop and grab hold of her heart.

"Who's the Hybrid?" The Vigilante asked with more anger in her voice.

"What are you d-" The Vigilante squeezed causing her body to shake. "S- stop" The Vigilante squeezed harder.

"WHO'S THE HYBRID?!" The Vigilante lets go allowing her to breathe.

"I don't know, they never revealed her face to anyone or why they have a bounty on her, all I know is that she has her entire left arm in bandages."

"Where do I find her?!"

"She was heading this way to the Village, but she went missing and no one can find her not even the Academy." The Vigilante grunted and began to squeeze. "P- please I'll do anything-" She squeezed harder causing her whole the body to twitch uncontrollably. The Vigilante released her arm dropping the women to the floor still twitching, soon the women passed out.

The Vigilante heard sobbing, she turned and officered to the worker crying in the corner. The worker heard footsteps then nothing, when she looked she saw the Vigilante staring at her. She stared at the cat mask covering her naked chest waiting for something to hit.

"P- please I'm a single mother, he's only 9 years old, and he's ill, I- I don't want him to be alone. I only do this job just, so I can feed him." The Vigilante never moved and kept staring. The worker knew in her heart that she would die today, that her child will become an orphan.

"Their late" The Vigilante stood still, staring at the worker.

"Wh-"

"LEAVE"

The worker hesitated at first but soon settled up and ran to the exit. With her enhanced vision, she saw multiple Anbu land on top of the building. She took out two curved kunai's with wires on them and launched them into the air grabbing hold of the wooden beam above her. With all her might she pulled down taking the roof getting the Anbu off guard. Once the dust had settled one of the Anbu with long blond hair recovered from the rubble and observed the Area.

"Is everyone OK?" All members responded accordingly. "And the Vigilante?" No one responded. The blond became frustrated and pounded the ground, once again the Vigilante escapes their grasp.

The Vigilante was running from rooftop to rooftop until she landed in an alleyway. On the other side came out Hinata Hyuga on her regular clothes and a workout bag. She walked down the street pulled out a water bottle from her bag and took a drink. She pressed her fingers to her neck returning her voice back to normal.

After a while, she reached her house. She hopped to the rooftop and went to the side where her bedroom was, she fazed through and landed on her bed. She lifted one floorboard and put her bag inside, once in a place she grabs a robe and headed to the bathroom. She places her robe, took off her clothes, entered the shower and turned it on.

Once she took a breather she let it sink in, for the first time she'd looked back at what she was doing. All the crimes she committed, all the people she lied to, all the torture. This isn't her, this wasn't the Hinata everyone knew. She laid her back on the wall and sat down, she put one of her thumbs on her lip and began to ponder. This was supposed to be a one and done job that's what she told the other Vigilante in Iwa.

What if the Village found out? How will her sister react? How will Naruto react? How will Himawari react? They'll vanish her if they find out, she'll never see her family again, she can't handle that. But she has to, not for herself but for him. This village can't be trusted not after the attack. If a mother is willing to sell her body to maintain her son, then what will one do to avenge one?

She stood herself up and cleaned herself, she left the shower and put on her robe. When Hinata opened the door she saw Himawari sitting on her bed twiddling her thumbs.

"Himawari!? Why are you up so late?" She didn't respond, worrying the Hyuga. "Is something wrong? There's no need to be afraid Himawari, just say it."

"Is that… I… You guys are never around anymore. Ever since-" She choked on her words, and she began to tear up. Hinata put her hand on Himawari's shoulder trying to calm her down.

"And you're just ignoring me." Hinata was surprised and faced her daughter.

"Himawari no, how could I do such a thing? Is that how you feel?"

"Papa always at work and you barely talk to me anymore. Are you… going leave me and Papa?"

"Never, I'll never leave your side. No matter what you do or how far away you are I'll always stand by you." Hinata went in for a hug only to be rejected.

"Then where are going at night!? With Papa, I understand but you, you do nothing! You always leave when I need you! I'm just here by myself… all alone." Himawari sadness turned into anger as she crossed her arms and refuse to look at her mother.

"Himawari… I… I just… I feel angry…" Himawari eyes widen hearing the words of her mother.

"When they told me Boruto was killed, I felt as they have ripped out my heart. Your Father was the same but one day he simply got up and told me 'they'll hurt no one ever again' and continued to work as nothing happened. I wish I could do the same, to move on but I can't. So I became frustrated, I didn't want anyone to see me angry, especially you, so I leave." Himawari looked at her mother then looked back down. There was a moment of silence before being broken by Himawari.

"Where do you go?"

"An old hiding spot I used to train in when I was young. No one knows about it not even your Father." There was another moment of silence this time interrupted by Hinata. "Hey, do you want to train with me tomorrow? Now that your use of the Byakugan I can teach you the Gentle Fist." Himawari pondered for a moment.

"Sure"

"All right, hey and if we can we'll bring your Father along too." Himawari gave her a small smile which was enough for her. "Come on, let's go get some sleep."

"Well… Damn." The building was in complete ruin leaving a mess blocking downtown. There were Police and Anbu in the scene investigating trying to find anything on the Vigilante. The blond Anbu was there not wearing her mask and smoking a cigarette, she was a very young girl, early 20s, overlooking the scene.

"Does this mean I have to do more paperwork?"

"Yeah, afraid so."

The blond looked at her behind and saw the Hokage and his right-hand man Shikamaru heading her way. She throws away her cigarette and bows in respect.

"Lord Seven, Shikamaru-sama." Both men returned the gesture.

"What did she do this time?" Shikamaru questioned.

"Broke in the place, TORN down the place and crack some dude's skull, literally. Oh, then get this, reached into some gals chest and grab her HEART."

"So she's a medical-nin? That's gotta help with the search," said Shikamaru.

"How many Kunoichi are trained to be medical-nin?" Naruto notes.

"So no progress huh?" Replied the Anbu. Everyone groaned another dead end.

"This chick is always one step ahead. Leaves no traces behind." The Blond Anbu acknowledges.

"At least she's not doing any real harm," Naruto told everyone while observing the area.

"But she's breaking our laws, and if we don't get results more Vigilantes will pop up and it will be… a drag."

"Your right… Oka, question any of the witnesses. I and Shikamaru will check the medical-nin files."

"Yes, Lord Seven." Oka left leaving the two behind. Naruto let out a yawn then faced Shikamaru.

"Come on let's get to work." Shikamaru grabs Naruto by the shoulder stopping him in his track.

"No I'll go, you need some rest."

"Shikamaru I can't, the Village needs me now more than ever."

"So does your family." Naruto's body stiffened. "When was the last time you've seen your wife and daughter? Look, I know you're trying to stay strong for the Village but you can't leave your family behind. If you disconnect with them then you'll be alone. They need you just as much as the Village does." Shikamaru let his words sink into Naruto's mind.

"… Okay fine, can you get Lady Tsunade or Kakashi to fill in for me while I'm gone?"

"Well I'll try, you know how those two are." Naruto chuckled.

"Oh, I'm sure they won't mind." Shikamaru left and Naruto turned to leave towards his house.

It's been a while since Naruto walked backed home. He never really observed the village after the attack. There were still repairs to be made to the village, memorials for those who died during the attack. The people were staring at him, not out of pride or admiration like they used to but had looks of pity. At least it wasn't looks of fear he received during his childhood.

After a while of walking, he reached his house, walked to the front, and opened the door. Hinata was there preparing a meal while Himawari was perched on the couch twiddling her thumbs. Himawari's face lit up when she noticed her Father entered the house, seeing his daughter smile again lifted Naruto's spirit so much. He'd never thought he feels such happiness again. Himawari ran towards her father and gave him a big hug.

"PAPA!"

"I've missed you so much." Naruto let Himawari down.

"I've missed you too," Hinata confesses lovingly.

"Oh, I haven't forgotten about you." Naruto gave Hinata a kiss grossing out Himawari.

"So want did I miss?" Himawari smile disappeared as her mind went blank remembering lasts night conversation with her mother.

"Not much, I and Himawari were about to go to some training, teach her some of my secrets."

"Really?" Naruto lowered himself to Himawari, put his arm around her shoulder and got close so Hinata won't hear. "Hey, what are these secrets your mother is talking about? Because every time your mother reveals one of her secrets, they never go in my favor."

"You just have to be there to find out," Himawari claim with a smile.

"You do know I'm still here, right?" Naruto was startled and immediately composed himself.

"Okay I'll tag along, I'm already ready, so I'm just be sitting here until you guys are." Naruto sat on the couch while Hinata and Himawari dealt with the food.

"Huh, don't remember the couch being this comfortable." Naruto yawned.

The girls finish their snacks and were ready to go. Himawari went to her father only to find he was knocked out on the couch, asleep. Himawari puffed her checks and stomped the floor, there's no way she's going to let this pass. This was the first day that they would hang out like a family ever since Boruto's death. She'll wake him up like Boruto used to do when they were younger, but Hinata stops her before she could.

"I think it's best to let your father rest for today."

"But-"

"Hey, now that your father won't be coming, I can show you some moves that you can use on your Father." Himawari paused and thought of the possibilities. No more does she have to take of her father's antics. A malicious smile grew on Himawari face as she let out a light evil laugh. The Girls grab their stuff and left leaving the Hokage asleep unaware of the dangers about to soon appear at his doorstep.

Original A/N: Well folks I'm pausing it here, don't want to write too much gotta save some for other chapters, plus I'm a bit lazy although I did enjoy writing this.

So next time will focus on Sarada and on how Boruto's friends are doing, I'll also explain what's the situation, like the vigilantes, the attack, and the Academy. So you'll have something to look forward to.

So if you enjoyed the story please follow and/or favorite, share, and don't be afraid of leaving a review I like to hear your thoughts. I'll hope to you next time, XYZangel out.
