Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Third sat with each other everyone had left as soon as Mark's dream ended, some of the witnesses had been disturbed by Mark's dream others felt that both Mark and David were their allies and their allies alone.
Still, Tsunade and Jiraiya knew that something had to be done before the two boys truly grew to become a threat to the village.
Hiruzen had heard about what had been done to the boys and had witnessed their dreams personally.
"So what are you going to do?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade
"I'm starting a school for" Tsunade began to answer Jiraiya but as she spoke she found herself looking at not just her old partner's eyes but also Hiruzens
"What?" Tsunade said to them
"You have responsibilities now," Hiruzen said to Tsunade, the man that spoke to her wasn't the Hokage, nor was he her old teacher, no he spoke to her as an old friend and elder
"You left the village because of everything you lost and you then used the girls as an excuse to run away and"
"Yet here you are, you have a responsibility not to your clan but to him as well," Hiruzen said to Tsunade, normally he would have stopped talking as in times like these saying less was more than enough but Tsuunade needed to hear what he had t say
"You and I saw the same thing, neither of them has any loyalty to the leaf and we haven't given them a reason to have it"
"Tsunade like or not you are David's wife, tell me will you force him to live in a marriage where there is no love? will you force him to be with someone that will always keep him at an arm's length or worse"
"Will you make him live a life with someone that is with him in the same room, but mentally and emotionally is so far away that they might swell be indifferent parts of the world?" Hiruzen said to Tsunade
"I never told him to" Tsunade began to protest
'Look around you, you have more than most now"
"How many people would kill just to be in your place," Hiruzen said to Tsunade as he used his hands to show her her clans territory
"Howamy women or men would love to have someone like him, someone that dis so much and carried so much despite being so young" Hiruzen should see Tsunade moving her eyes back and forth as she struggled to find a way of dealing with the situation
He knew that his student was fully aware of everything he was saying to her but, she had to start acting as what she was, David's wife, and she had to do it before the boy grew to hate the leaf for its ill-treatment of him and those around him.
"He's too young," she said to Hiruzen
"So were many others" Hiruzen countered
The two soon fell into deep silence and Jiraiya began to talk.
"I can't and I won't tell you what you have to do, that's up to you," Jiraiya said to Tsunade
Once again he was forced to watch her go to someone else and despite his feelings for her he once again was forced to accept that he could never be with her.
They both needed to move and if Jiraiya had to be honest with himself he felt more confused than everyone else.
What of Heku?
He had kept his distance from the boy despite being with him for some time, what thoughts went on inside that mind of his, did he share Davids and Mark's distrust of the Leaf?
Did he share David's desire to kill everyone, that was willing to take those closes to him, or was he like Mark that saw everyone as an annoyance, rather than Human beings?
"The two of you have responsibilities you have been ignoring," Hiruzen said to them
"..." x3
No one said anything anymore, because nothing else needed to be said and yet they knew the conversation couldn't end there
"I'll do what I can," Tsunade said to Hiruzen, who hesitated for a moment before he answered
"Shizune I expect you to help with mark, your Tsunade's assistant it makes sense that you become acquainted with Davids assistant," the Third said to Shizune who was sitting quietly apart from everyone else
"That won't!" Tsunade began to argue but she noticed that the man she was talking to wasn't her teacher, yet all traces of that man were gone now all that remained was the Hokage
"Mrk had Ana" Jiraiya pointed ou
"And he will continue to have her" the third answered him
"Mark is smart, smarter than most boys his age," Jiraiya said to the third as he tried to reach his teacher
"Which is why he will grow to accept Shizune" the third answered
"I can just leave and take everyone with me or I can just leave," Tsunade said to the Third but her words weren't even considered a threat anymore
The third left after that and then Jiraiya left, Tsunade walked into her room and for the first time in years she allowed herself to cry, everything had gotten out of hand because of what she had askedFugaku to do.
No, that wasn't true, she wanted to see Mark and David's thoughts and how they would react to things when they got out of control and she had accomplished just that.
To Mark, there wasn't any moment that he ever did have control over anything.
The fact that his dream started with him trapped inside an interrogation cell, meant that he believed himself powerless to stop any situation, the best thing he could do was figure out a way to make the worst possible outcomes not end so badly for him and David.
For David on the other hand, he felt as if he was constantly standing at the edge of everything, if he allowed himself to relax for one moment everything would and could be taken from him.
That was the reason he started his dream alone with everyone he cared about having left him and why everyone he had grown to care about either crippled or dead.
After that he had no reason to care about anything, death was the better option for him and everyone else.
Those thoughts had already been there and she had just exposed them to everyone, the fact that the third and most likely the elders had found out about them, meant that even now the boys were being kept under close watch.
Tsunade felt a warm hand on her shoulder and found Shizune holding a bottle in her hands
"Lady Tsunade, guess what we're married," Shizune said to Tsunade][]]][
David woke up and to his surprise it was late, it was so late that it was already noon and nobody had bothered to wake him up.
either Mark overslept too and that meant Ana had over-lept as well or someone had decided to play a prank on him.
the mansion was empty, most of the maids were gone at this hour, they usually went to visit their family in the Uchiha compound, or they would go off to either gossip or spend time with their lovers r whatever they did around this time.
He opened the door and found that nothing had changed, everything was the same and that meant someone had played a prank on him.
As he looked around he found Tsunade sitting in his usual spot.
'Hey Tsunade do you know where everyone is?" he asked her as he walked up to her
"Everyone is at school" Tsunade answered him as she patted her lap
"Okay you're going to have to tell me what you're implying because I can either sit on your lap or lay my head on it," David said to Tsunade who just chuckled
"Lay your head on my lap" Tsunade answered him
"Okay but if I do that I might fondle your boobs' David said to Tsnade as he laid his head on her lap
"I'm your wife your supposed to fondle them" Tsunade answered David
"Close your eyes," Tsunade said to David
On the other side of the porch, Mark walked out of his room and found Shizune waiting for him
"Hey, what's going on?" Mark asked Shizune who didn't answer him by using her words she just signaled to him to sit down next to her.
"Mark You are Davids assistant," Shizune said to Mark as she gently placed her hand on his head and guided Marks head to her ap
'I am Lady Tsunade's assistant" Shizune said to Mark and as Mark tried to get up, Shizune stopped him by putting a little bit more pressure on his head forcing him to stay in place
'What's going on?" Mark asked Shiune fearing her answer
"By order of the Hokage and the council of elder, you and I are to be together, as husband and wife," Shizune said to Mark as bluntly as she could
Mark didn't say anything, he didn't jump or react in any way that would have meant he had gotten hit with something he didn't expect, he just laid on Shizune's lap.
'I have Ana" he said to Shizune
"It's okay, most men have more than one wife, because of how Nin live our lives that our sons and daughters dying is so common that we need one of them to live," Shizune said to Mark but the truth was she was reminding herself of the reality of her world.
"Does David know?" Mark asked Shizune
"Lady Tsunade is telling him as we speak" Shizune answered mark
"...Shizune kiss me, I don't mean a kiss on the cheek I want a real kiss," Mark said to Shizune but Shizune couldn't bring herself to do what Mark had told her to do
"I can't, not while you still look" Shizune began but Mark stopped her as he place a finger on her lips
"I'll grow up, what's going to be your excuse then?" Mark asked her before getting up and kissing Shizune on the forehead
David listened to Tsunade, she told him about what she asked Fugaku to do and what she had seen in both his and Marks dream
David didn't say anything he just kept quiet as Tsunade spoke, then without saying a word h placed his hands on Tsunade's chest and kept them there
"tell Shizune to tell everything to Mark," David said to Tsunade, he wasn't mad about what she had confessed to him in fact he expected something like this a long time ago.
David was honestly surprised it had taken everyone this long to try and read his mind.
David left the Senju clan's territory and he jumped from roof to roof until he found a place he liked and noticed that someone had painted the heads of the Hokages that had already died.
"Hey, watcha looking at?" Anko asked David
"Nothing just trying to think," David asked the black-haired woman
"So why are you in my spot?" Anko asked the kid, she hasn't been in the leaf for a while so she has no idea who the kid is
hey there's a store that sells candy over there if you let me sit here for a while I'll buy you as much candy as you want" David said to Anko as he pointed at the store that had a lot of candy on display
Anko just smirked she could honestly just kike the kid off the roof, he looked strong enough to take both the hit and the fall but, hey she wouldn't have to pay for anything she got
So she just sat next to the kid and then laid down, it wasn't her problem if the guy saw her, why was he even looking at her, to begin with.
After a while, she heard David's voice.
"Hey I'm done," David said to Anko and Anko snorted as she woke up
"By the way do you know you snore, "David said to Anko as he looked at her
'No I dont" she answerd him
'That's what everyone says" David said to her as he jumped off the roof and walked towards the store
The man behind the counter widened his eyes as they walked into the store and he watched as David paid for everything Anko picked up.
Anko for her part just kept on graving everything she could until David told her to stop, the only reason she even bothered putting anything back was when realized David was never going to do it.
The two sat in front of the store on a wooden bench.
"Hey, you're a ninja right?" David asked Anko
"Yeah, what kind of stupid question is that" Anko answered David
'Got any advice" David said to Anko
the two of them looked at each other and Anko didn't want to deal with whatever the kid in front of her was dealing with
"Do whatever you want" she said to David as she got up and walked away
'What?' she heard David say
"That's my advice, do what you want" she answered him but didn't bother to look back, she knew that if she did she would end up getting involved in something shed rather not
"That's bad advice" Heku said toDavid
"Hey," David said to Heku who had his hands folded on his chest
'I heard about what happened. Itachi said it was the best for everyone" Heku said to David
"So why are you moping around for, this isn't you," Heku said to David
"I just needed to think" David answered Heku
'And dis you find what you were looking for?" Heku asked David
"Yeah"
"Hey, Heku are you going to enter the academy?" David asked Heku but Heku just shook his head
"No, I'm too far behind, someone is opening a school in your clan's area and I'll be going to school there"
"And before you ask, so is everyone else" Heku answered David
"let's go home," David said to Heku
"So are you going to tell me what you found out or not," Heku said to David
"All of this time the only thing I have been doing is reacting," David said to Heku
"I got married because I tried to save you and the girls"
"The only reason I even did anything, was to keep myself away from having to deal with my situation, the only reason why I even have people living in the clan's territory is that someone else placed a bunch of ideas in front of me"'
"And even now the only reason I'm here is that someone else did something" David answered Heku
"So what are you going to do now?' Heku said to David
"Nothing, I said so earlier Tsunade is here let her handle everything, right now I'm going to do what I want"
'So what do you want to do?' Heku said to David
"Hey do you think we can beat them this time," David asked Heku and the two friends realized that the sales were going to start once again
