Season 2 Chapter 3

"Your written reports filed within two days." Sakumo ordered with a dismissive wave. The Jounins before him knew the drill. "Minashi, stay a moment."

Minato paused where he'd started to turn to leave, shooting his friend and senpai a look. He'd done the same before they'd left for the mission. One before a mission was small request or personal thing. A follow up was a secondary mission.

"Sir-" Minato started but the stern look in the Hokage's gaze silenced Minato. He bit his tongue and left. The silence beyond the doors as they shut only confirmed it. As a Captain, it irked him that he wasn't informed on whatever mission Sakumo had given his imouto.

Sakumo sighed as the barrier went into place. "Minato's report was very standard and seemed lacking in places. Like he himself wasn't sure how this or that happened."

"Due to the severity of the mission, Minato placed a suppression seal upon everyone who participated or witnessed the mission. Thus keeping the knowledge that the mix between the Ryumyaku and his Hirashin would have a time traveling effect, a secret. Not to mention keeping everyone from remembering who traveled back to our time." Minashi reported thickly.

"Please proceed with the full report. I'll want it written down again for Hokage eyes only."

"Really? But what about Minato?"

Sakumo raised a brow at her. "You do not want him to remember eventually?"

"I only did because I knew my mind well and could notice that something was being hidden from me. Naruto and I cherished those moments with our father….." She looked away. "Minato may want them back, but maybe just locking the report with a lock seal for now."

The Hokage stared at her. "What haven't you reported?"

"At the end, when the Travelers were about to head back, Itama….looked at me like I was dead. Sakura and the one named Saitoru i can understand not knowing me since they were probably civilian born. Naruto even looked at me with yearning. Same for the unknown Uzumaki man."

"Do you think he was this Ezume that your pack is hunting?"

The blonde shook her head frowning. "No, He only displayed two chains and…his eyes were Cobalt. And I can't even begin to tell you his age. Uzumaki's are hard to age once we hit adulthood."

"Hm, maybe yours and Nagisa's updated presence in the bingo books will bring more Uzumakis out and he's the product of such. It wouldn't surprise me if that was so. The implied closeness is what worries me."

"Wait what?" Minashi straightened up.

Sakumo huffed and tossed her the newest edition. "It was distributed while you were gone. Word's gotten out. We stopped most of our spies, but Suna, Kawa, and Ame aren't as tightly guarded as Konoha. When you were there as my voice in thanks for their assistance, word's spread. Especially since we agreed that when the mask is off, Nagisa is present instead of Kitsune's appearance."

"Huh." Minashi tilted her head contemplatively. "That's not horrible. I mean, they don't know my connection to the Main family, so they can only assume that I was a Genin or Civilian that worked my ass off to get stronger and get Justice."

Sakumo nodded. "My thoughts exactly. Now, did I also hear you right? Itama has the Mokuton?"

"I think both twins will awaken it if Itama can pass himself off as Kawarama."

The Hatake chuckled ruefully, "Well, if my memory serves me correctly, instead of human experimentation to create another mokuton user, all Orochimaru had to do was marry the last senju with his teammate to get the Mokuton."

The blonde stared as she realized what he was talking about. "Instead of Yamato having it unnaturally…the Twins will have it naturally." She stated blankly before face palming loudly. "Son of a bitch." She hissed baffled, soft chuckles still leaving her despite it all. "I guess this is still one of those things 'bound to happen'" the blonde shook her head even as Sakumo's own lips were twitching.

"Should we warn them now?"

"Nahhhhh" Minashi grinned wider, "Let the squirts surprise their parents. Wouldn't want to miss their reactions."

Sakumo snorted. "Bring your second report with the correct happenings to me personally. It will stay in my desk."

"Got it. Anything else?"

"Nope, but you are due some vacation time. Until the rest of your team is back, relax. Train if you want, but I will be trying to not give you missions for the next week and a half at least."

The blonde nodded. "Understood. Where's my Blood Clone off to now, by the way? I didn't feel it in Konoha or Suna"

"In Ame. After the wave mission the rest of your team took she got diverted to Ame on the return home. Nagato requested on Yahiko's behalf for her assistance with placing some security seals. She'll also be teaching Nagato Fuuinjutsu while she's there."

"Good. Uzumaki's are strongest with our Fuuinjutsu at our fingertips." The blonde grinned. "Speaking of which, I just remembered what I wanted to work on."

Sakumo's brow rose in a silent 'go on'.

"The Hiraishin. Nii-san has already given me his notes and I have Nagisa's version as well. Which is all and good for transporting large groups of people, but I've always wanted to mix the two aspects of the versions together. With Kurama's aid in chakra, Minato was able to pull such a feat off in the war. I want to create my own new version to do as such. Not to mention, there are a few other things I want to test out." She rambled before Sakumo's fond laughter filled the air.

"Minashi, go enjoy your days off. If you need the Niidaime's notes, Tsunade has them. All Senju treasures from the Shodaime and Niidaime have been returned under hers and her husbands' protection."

"Even the Forbidden scroll?"

"Especially the Forbidden scroll. There is still a dummy scroll in the vault, but Jiraiya and Orochimaru have the original locked down tight behind the compound security. Tsunade has also already put a bounty out on the Raiju no ken to be returned for a hefty reward."

Minashi whistled. "Good. Alright, i'll borrow his notes if needed." She turned and headed out. As the blonde was opening the no longer barrier locked door, it opened to Sakumo's secretary and a familiar face.

"Mariko-oba!" Minashi hugged her aunt who chuckled and returned the hug.

"Hello Mina-chan. You're home for a bit this time right?"

The blonde chuckled sheepishly. "Yeah."

"Good. Karin and Naru-kun miss you." The redhead turned to the Hokage and even took a few steps further into the room.

Minashi paused in the doorway as…she scented nervousness rolling off her aunt, but nothing like fear tinged nerves.

Curious, she waited, ignoring how Asuka was also obviously eavesdropping on the Uzumaki and Hokage.

"Hokage-sama."

"Please, Sakumo is fine. Especially since it seems you are here on a social call and not work related."

Mariko nodded. "Sakumo-san." The redhead seemed to take a steadying breath before meeting the Hokage's kind patient gaze. "Asuka-san has informed me…you do not have anything planned for lunch today."

Sakumo's spine straightened, very alert now. "I do not."

"Would…Would you like to join me for lunch?" Mariko said before looking down. "I mean, as friends and colleagues, and as a belated thanks from me for everything you've done to make sure mine and my daughter's acceptance into Konoha was done swift and smooth-" Mariko's words were cut off when Sakumo stood and made sure Mariko was looking at him before he approached her.

Only arms length away, he held out his hand palm up, giving Mariko the choice to be touched. Slowly the redhead placed her hand in his. Coal eyes were locked with Ruby as he brought her delicate hand up to his lips, bending down a bit from his taller height, to place a very brief and very gentle kiss to her knuckles.

"I'd be honored Mariko-san to join you for lunch. There is no thanks to be needed though. I only did what any gentleman would do."

Mariko swallowed thickly as she was entranced by the man before her. She'd never felt like she did when she was around him. She was so sure at one point she'd never wanted another man to touch her, but despite the desire she felt in his chakra since her arrival, he's never made a forward move to her.

It had been her therapist's comment that made Mariko realize…that Sakumo wouldn't do anything without her permission. He was just that type of man.

"Not many men, or even shinobi still hold honor similar to Samurai." Mariko said softly back.

"Unfortunately in this trade it is a hard concept to hold onto due to the nature of our profession. If balanced correctly, it can be done."

Mariko's shoulders ease even as she realized she was still holding Sakumo's hand, but she had no urge to pull away like any other time a man touched her. She…Really liked his bright chakra too. It reminded her of the feeling of summer clouds or soft warm fur?, yet the power of a lightning storm waiting underneath to be released.

A whistle broke the spell and Mariko flushed almost as bright as her hair. She snapped her head to her niece to see her grinning madly with the Yamanaka secretary also grinning.

"Wow Mariko-oba! Going after Konoha's number one bachelor!" She gave a big grin and thumbs up. "I'm soooo telling Nee-san."

"Mina!" Mariko hissed embarrassed.

Minashi snickered before looking behind the older redhead and suddenly paling. Mariko followed her gaze and found the Hokage's…Sakumo's face lifting into a wolfish grin.

"You seem to want to lose your vacation time..Min-na-shi." Sakumo said politely, fangs flashing delightfully predator like. Yet Mariko didn't feel threatened in the least. "I'm sure the Daimyo's nephew would love your company-"

The blonde girl fled. Sakumo chuffed. "Pups. I swear." He muttered before eyeing his smirking secretary. He just raised a brow at her. Asuka wasn't scared in the least.

"Have fun!" The paler blonde cheered. "I'm going to go collect my winnings while you're gone."

The Hokage sighed, he really shouldn't have been surprised.

"Is she implying there were bets?!" Mariko squeaked.

"You will find, Mariko-san, that betting is practically a tradition in Konoha. If it makes you feel better, a portion of the final pot goes to orphanage funding." The Hokage then offered the Uzumaki woman his elbow. "If you are comfortable with it, I'd like to escort you to lunch."

Mariko's cheeks pinked, but slowly she slipped her hand around his elbow. Again, she relaxed when that desire to yank away from men didn't rise up around this man. Smiling shyly up at the Hokage, he returned it and then together they headed out for lunch.

Minashi sat in the grass of her team's old training ground beneath the shade of a tree. Scattered around her were the Niidaime's notes, Minato's notes, and her own. This wasn't including all of the Uzumaki theory scrolls on space-time.

On the other side of the grounds, a handful of her clones were testing out the few variations of the Hiraishin she'd remade over the past few hours. After a morning of helping her Nee-san and Aunt get the kids ready for the day at the Yamanaka Compound, followed up by training with Kushina since her reevaluations were coming up; the blonde was content to let the rest of the day fade into theory talk with kurama.

She was jolted out of her internal debate about the efficiency of a matrix when Obito of all people suddenly appeared in a shunshin. Aggravation rolling off him in waves, and chakra flickering in anger.

Minashi's eyes narrowed just a bit as she observed the Uchiha. His eyes were active, displaying just how high his emotions were currently running. The teen finally noticed his own old team training grounds were occupied. With two Team sevens close to graduation, it wasn't uncommon for them to clash. Despite her team seven dropping the name for Team Ro, her ANBU team renamed to Team Myth due to their masks.

"Ah! Gomen Mina-chan! I didn't realize the training ground was already occupied. I'll just-" He stopped when a clone suddenly appeared before him before cursing and exploding.

Minashi twitched. That formula didn't work then.

"Sit." She called without looking up from her clone's data.

Obito shuffled for a bit, but sighed and sat beside her at the base of the tree.

"What happened?" She asked on a hum, half listening. The Blonde was used to doing such things first as Hokage, now as a Jounin Captain.

"Rin and I got into a fight and then tried to follow me. It's not like the ANBU guard isn't enough." He grunted sulking. "Even some of the Clan elders are still wary around me despite the guard."

"Well, you were mind-fucked and attempted to kill my shishou, the Hokage's personal advisor soon after you woke. Not to mention your own Clan heir." She stated bluntly.

Obito sighed. "I…wasn't in control of my actions. I stopped my body before the kunai got near Miko-oba."

"Hm. Thus why my shishou took you under her wing despite the risks."

The uchiha wilted. "Your aunt can be…strange." He told her softly. "Did you know she threatened to end me the moment I stopped fighting the compulsions?"

Minashi didn't blink or look away as she brushed out another test version of the Hiraishin.

"I'd do the same. Konoha and our precious people are first and foremost in our minds." Minashi hummed absently, tilting her head as she adjusted a symbol. "Our enemy is cunning, manipulative, and very very dangerous Obito. Shishou lost her entire home and family to it and it's manipulations. It also almost killed her. To Nagisa, it would be nothing personal, but even today she'd still end you without hesitation."

Obito was silent before snorting. "Funny enough, that actually comforts me."

Minashi paused and looked at her agemate. The Half Uchiha had bags under his eyes.

"It's still there ya know, despite what Nagisa-shishou did? A voice hissing and whispering in my head. Telling me to do the opposite of things I know I normally wouldn't do. The physical urge to do it is there still too. It's like an oily darkness that I'll drown in, if I lose my footing for even a split second."

The fear, exhaustion, and vulnerability practically leaked from Obito. "Nagisa-sama told me why I was targeted…and I can understand now why I did private training and worked in the Police force. But why are people blaming me for something I can't control? I didn't ask to be half senju half Uchiha. I didn't ask to be targeted." Tears brimmed the fourteen year old's eyes and Minashi set her brush down. "I just want things to go back to normal. I want to train with my friends without them asking if I'm okay every five minutes. I want to be able to take Rin out on a date and not have her suffer from the whispers or her also asking if I'm okay every time I frown. I want to be able to go home and not feel the wary stares of my clansmen. Like any minute I'm going to go nutty like Madara and attack them."

Minashi reached out and grabbed Obito's clenched hand. She'd known obito had been struggling to adjust after his and Nagisa's isolated training after he woke up, but she didn't realize he'd been bottling all this up.

The boy turned to her tears falling down. "You and Nagisa-Shihou are the only people that don't treat me like glass or a ticking bomb. Even Minato-sensei does."

Blue eyes rolled. "Nii-san is a mother-hen. Of course he's going to worry about his students. He still nags Kakashi about not over training and Rin-san about taking extra shifts. His concern is from a good place. So please don't lump him in with everyone else."

Obito nodded and rubbed his eyes with his arm, to try to stem the tears.

"Why haven't you told Nagisa-shishou or I about this earlier? Being her apprentice means that we are teammates, we are family. You are stuck with us. And not just because of the seals painted on you need monthly checks."

Obito absently rubbed his neck where the dark ink wrapped from behind his ear, across the back of his neck, and connected behind the other ear. The tattoo at first had burned, but the utter relief when the urge to murder the one woman that was like his own mother was suddenly gone, sent Obito into a sobbing crumpled mess all those months ago.

"Remember Obito, that seal runs-"

"On my fighting will." He repeated back, smiling softly at her. "As long as I fight, the seal will stay strong."

"Yes." Minashi smiled proudly and obito blushed, reminded of how pretty the Uzumaki was. If he didn't know Kenji-nii had such a big crush on the blonde, Obito might have tried to pursue her since Rin continued to avoid him anytime he brought up dating. It hurt, but he'd wish she'd just tell him point blank why.

"You may seem like that path you walk to avoid the darkness is like walking a tightrope, but that isn't true Obito. Just look at you!" He glanced down to his recent Jounin Uniform. "You survived Shishou's training and made Jounin on your own merits in such a short time after suspension. Shishou is a harsh taskmaster and I know she didn't go easy on you. Both Shishou and I believe in you obito. We believe in your will of fire that burns so very brightly."

Obito continued to flush, shy at her praises. "Shishou said I couldn't be physically or mentally weak. That I needed to get stronger and the only way was through blood, sweat, tears, and hard work."

"She's right ya know." Minashi beamed. "I bet you could even give Kakashi a run for his money now."

Obito chuckled and leaned his head against her shoulder. "Sorry for dumping this on you Mina-chan. Rin…avoided going on a date with me and wouldn't give me a reason why. I asked why she's always denied them and she couldn't even look me in the eye and give me a straight answer."

"Then she doesn't deserve your love, Obito." Minashi whispered setting her notes aside off her lap and leaning her head against his fluffy spikes.

He let out a sigh. "I got angry at her and snapped. I told her to just tell me that she didn't like me to my face instead of being a coward and chickening out. My Sharingan always turns on when I'm emotional and she flinched back in fear. She then had the audacity to say that I needed to calm down. I turned away and left. She called out to me to wait and that I shouldn't do anything in anger. I…I feel so betrayed. Nagisa-shishou explained to our teammates that my Will powers the seal. It's like…no one trusts me to be strong and fight." He finished off with hurt radiating off him.

"You know that's wrong." She hummed, reaching up to brush his bangs away, and catch a stray tear.

Obito sighed and leaned heavier into her.

"And while your will powers the seal Obito, you don't have to fight alone. You have nii-san, kakashi, your family, me, Shishou and nee-san. We all love you and know you are strong enough to keep the seal strong. We are all here for when you need to borrow our strength when you are tired."

Obito's throat clicked. "Thank you." He whispered harshly.

"Here's an example. You are not only half Uchiha. You are Half Senju. You do not Need to stay in the Uchiha Clan if it no longer feels comfortable to you. Tsunade-oba would gladly take you in. I know Itama and Kawarama would love to see more of their Bito-nii." Minashi poked his side and got a chuckle. "Not to mention, Wakana says you are the best storyteller. Between you and me, she'd choose you in a heartbeat."

Obito's laughter grew more consistent as the scent of his feelings lessened from the acidic negative emotions, to the light bubbly sweet ones of his happiness.

"Come on. I'm stuck on this stupid seal anyways. Let me clean up and then we'll go pack up your things." Obito lifted his head off her shoulder and after she'd cleaned up quickly, he grabbed her hand. Obsidian eyes met Cerulean with kindness, gratefulness, and a bit of love that was totally obito.

"Thank You Mina-chan."

"What are sibling students for bito?" She smiled before it turned foxy. "Race ya!" And she disappeared into a sprint. Obito's squawk echoed behind her before he raced to catch up. Minashi's cackles filled the forest and Obito's own laughter responded in turn.

Hanako Uchiha may be years past her prime, but she was still a past kunoichi. Silent as they may have been so far, it did not escape the Elder Uchiha's notice when her grandson snuck home with company.

Sipping her tea, the documents for the Matriarchs of Konoha sat unread before her. She couldn't really help it. Her aged senses were following the muffled chakra of her grandson as her ears listened to him and his fellow apprentice of Nagisa Uzumaki, pack up his room.

Ever since he woke up, Hanako had worried for her grandson. She'd seen it when he'd woken. There had been darkness in his eyes. Her love for him had blinded her to it because he'd still acted like himself. Even the Yamanaka had found no sign of what had kept Obito down for Six weeks.

Until She'd taken him home. Mikoto had come over to help settle obito back in while Hanako turned to cook dinner. The crashing sound had terrified Hanako but not as much as seeing Obito pinning his own cousin down and kunai a hair's breadth away from the stunned Mikoto's neck.

The boy had been trembling, fear in his sharingan eyes, chanting a continuous fearful whine of 'no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no'

Before Hanako or Mikoto could even process it, the recently revealed Nagisa had appeared in a fast swirl. Her hand had gripped Obito's head harshly, yanking it back as a katana rested at his own throat. Her Violet Sage eyes had been cold, deadly, her body primed to kill her grandson.

"You break her skin and you will die."

Obito had just kneeled over his cousin, tears streaming down his face, sharingan spinning rapidly.

"i..I…Don't…want…t-t-t-to kill…Mi-mi-mikoto-oba!" Obito had stuttered out, Sharingan spinning furiously, and Hanako had seen them starting to threaten to morph into a mangekyou.

"THEN FIGHT IT OFF!" Nagisa had snarled. "You are stronger than it Obito. Fight!"

With a cry, Obito had leapt off Mikoto and right into the chest of Nagisa who only hugged the teen to her chest, katana still at his throat. The boy had burst out sobbing body limp, yet the Uzumaki just held him tighter.

It wasn't long after that that the Hokage had arrived and with Hanako's permission, Obito had been put under Nagisa's apprenticeship and responsibility since. For three long months Obito had been taken away to the Fox summoning realm as Obito trained. He'd return for a few days at a time to be checked over and visit her. Hanako had seen that the darkness was still there, but tamed.

But word had spread. Hanako hadn't been able to keep Obito's state away from the clan. Obviously their treatment of a clan member had raised suspicions amongst others outside of the Clan.

Thus, it didn't surprise her that since Obito had returned and even become Jounin, that he was moving out. It didn't mean she wasn't any less saddened. He should feel happy and loved in his home clan. The alliance with the senju should never have been needed. Yet, many feared a second coming of Madara. His madness was horror stories to their people. That fear keeping the clansmen in line. Now…now it was turning one of their best members against them.

"Will you not even tell me goodbye?" Hanako called out to the two teens trying to slip away, knowing that Obito's final things were by the front door.

The Elder didn't turn around, but she sensed her grandbaby's smile without even looking. Moments later his hand touched her shoulder before kissing her cheekbone.

"Goodbyes are forever Oba-sama. I'll visit, and I hope you'll visit me."

"Of course." She grunted but relaxed when her grandbaby kissed her temple next.

"I love you Oba-sama. Thank you for everything you've done for me, and everything you did that i don't know about."

Tears filled Hanako's eyes. "You shouldn't have to leave. This is your home."

"If leaving will bring peace to my family, so be it. I'll train and get stronger. I'll prove to the doubters that they were wrong to not believe in me. My shishou…and my Sister, will help me get strong."

Hanako swallowed and glanced over as she watched Obito walk to the blonde Uzumaki with a fondness she's always seen Kagami look at Mikoto with.

"Uzumaki." She called sternly. Cerulean met obsidian. "You take care of my grandbaby."

"Obito otouto is safe in our care, I swear." Minashi promised.

"Oi! I'm older than you!" Obito squawked.

"Eh?" Minashi grinned. "Did you say something?"

Yowling, Obito chased after his sibling student, their chase filling the air outside. Hanako smiled into her teacup.

Yes, her grandbaby was no longer in need of her protection. And….She was okay with that. She had Grandnephews to dote on to distract her.

Minashi pushed open the slider to Nagisa's Uzumaki house. It was smaller than Minato and Kushina's since they planned on a big family and were the 'Main House'. Mariko's was about the same size as Nagisa's holding three bedrooms in addition to the living and bathing spaces.

"This is it. Technically it's on the Uzumaki side of the Compound, but we're all pretty much evenly spaced out. Shishou is still in Ame visiting Cousin Nagato. So I can stay here in my room here if you want. I have a bedroom here and with Nee-san and Nii-san. I also have one in the Hatake Compound and in Ba-chan's Main house. Normally i stay with Minato and Kushina though."

"That has to be rough. Jumping around like that." Obito commented as he put his coats away and his shoes in a cubby, slipping on the house slippers.

"I think…i'm just used to it. I don't remember much with my dad, but constantly moving is something there. Then when i came to Konoha it was jumping between my brother and sister's separate apartments and Sakumo's house. Then when i had a Genin team, we'd stay there too with Sensei."

"Don't you want a permanent place of your own?"

MInashi hummed as she opened the third bedroom to show Obito. He took it in even as MInashi collected her thoughts. Like the silent teamwork they had an hour ago packing up his childhood bedroom, they unpacked it into his new room.

"I think one day yes, but after I start seriously dating?" She shrugged confused. "I mean, Nii-san and Nee-san want more kids. And i love Naru-chan, but…I don't want to get in the way of his parent's intimate time. I think when they start planning for the next kid, I'm going to move out and into Nagisa's home permanently. It will open up a bedroom for them to use as a guest room or a new nursery."

"That's kind of you. Are you sure sensei won't protest though? He's very protective of you."

Minashi snorted. "That's putting it mildly." She tossed him the weapon scrolls she unsealed from another scroll. Obito snatched them out of mid air and set them aside on the desk at his back.

"It's going to be strange. Coming home here instead of to Hanako-oba." Obito said softly.

"Hm, well, Sukitama-oba visits often with aunt Asuka and cousin Tachirama. Not to mention the twins and wakana both love coming over to play with Naruto and Karin when their parents want to nap when Naoki is."

Obito snorted. "I still can't believe the Niidaime had a kid. The Elders talk about how he hated uchiha and how he was a cold man that didn't know what to do with kids."

Minashi frowned, glancing over from where she was hanging up some of his clothes. Obito was putting another pile in the dresser. "That's wrong. Sukitama-oba said that Tobirama-sama was one of the Kindest men she'd ever met. Brilliant, misunderstood, and loved his family. The only Uchiha he didn't trust was Madara."

Obito looked up at her.

"He was a sensor Bito, just as strong as Shishou and I. He could sense the darkness growing strong in madara and only prepared for when it would descend upon the village."

"I…didn't know that." he whispered.

Minashi sighed and turned back to her task. "Not many do. Many forget that the Niidaime also had an Uchiha student. Your grandfather Kagami Uchiha."

"So is that why Hanako-oba never said a bad word about him?"

"Probably. It's probably why she had no issue with her son having a senju girlfriend. Secret or not."

"Oji-sama said that Uncle Kagami is named after my grandfather because he was such a good shinobi that it would have been wrong to not honor his memory."

"From what I've heard, Kagami adored his shishou like his own father. It was apparently because Kazou-sama and Kagami-sama were only half brothers."

"Really?" Obito sat on the bed.

"Hm." Minashi flopped back. "Kazou-sama is apparently Hikaku's son while Kagami is the son of another Uchiha lost when he was just a baby during the Clan wars. After Konoha was built, Tobirama had Kagami as a constant visitor to his house. Especially when tobirama-sama's son came to live in Konoha full time instead of with his mother. Kagami apparently was named Godfather shortly after with the mother's permission as she had already chosen the Godmother."

"Wow….wait! Who was the mom!" The half senju asked curiously. "I've only been told it was a secret who Tachirama was descended from. It's been so awesome already hiding it from my clan, like a prank. But who would have caught Niidaime-sama's eye?"

Minashi smirked smugly. "It was a secret affair between powerful Leaders. He did have to work with her often because of their positions, but also because she was the Aunt of Mito-oba's kids and always visited."

She watched the senju's brain process that before they widened. "No way…."He whispered excitedly

"Yep. Miho-oba, the Niidaime Uzukage. Apparently even though neither desired marriage, they still kept up a secret affair after their son was born. Sukitama told me once that Miho-oba was one of the few people that could see past Tobirama-sama's mask of indifference and also match him wit for wit."

"That's so cool." Obito giggled snickers into his hands. "Wait…how did we get on this?"

Minashi stared before shrugging. "Dunno. We need to finish unpacking your things so i can show you around the house."

As promised, Minashi showed Obito around Nagisa's house and how her office was off limits unless given permission. The notepad on the fridge was also explained that if something was running low, to write it down and the next one to go shopping would take it with them.

"You do your own laundry and we take turns keeping the common areas clean." Minashi explained. "I think that's it. You already know about the Clan training ground and that two Main houses hold the two family libraries. We should probably see if anyone is home yet at the Senju house."

"What will we do if they aren't?" Obito asked as they jogged through the hashirama trees.

"We can train." The blonde offered.

"Sounds nice." Obito grinned as they arrived and Minashi walked in first past the protective barriers. Obito followed and tilted his head. He wasn't a strong sensor, but training under Nagisa Uzumaki strengthened one's awareness.

"No one's home."

"Well, Naoki is probably at the Yamanaka's with the other Heirs. They are hosting this week's Clan Daycare. Wakana is still in primary academy. The twins at the main academy. Tsunade-ba-chan is probably working, Same with Oro-sensei. Jiraiya i thought was supposed to be back soon. He had been asked to meet with a contact in person instead of via toad."

"Ah, and the rest?"

"Sukitama is one of the adults in charge of the Daycare this week. Which Means Asuka-san is probably visiting family at the Nara's or napping somewhere. Tachi-kun would also be in the primary academy."

"Are we… alone in the Compound?" Obito asked carefully. Minashi slowly looked to obito as she felt his chakra bubbling with playfulness, contradicting his blank face. Minashi spread her awareness around the compound.

"Minato-nii is shadowing Sakumo again. Kushina-nee is sparring with a few other Kunoichi. I think Mikoto-san is one, along with Tsume-san and a few others I think from the MK. I haven't met them all, so i don't know their chakra as well."

"So…That is a yes?" Obito's lips morphed into a grin. Minashi's own twitched, she felt nostalgic. Obito reminded her so much of her Naruto-nii right then.

"Yes." Minashi answered with glee.

"Instead of training, how about we cook up a prank for the entire village. The mountain was nice, but I think the clans have gotten lax since we were kids." He matched her foxy grin with a very cat like one of his own.

Grabbing his hand, she led him away to her warded hideout. Hideout being a cover up for the small single room old house she'd not really repaired, but sealed up to be 'forgotten'. It's where she'd kept her pranking supplies since they moved into the shared compound.

The wall with the defaced Hokage was still painted and all her friends' notes still nailed up.

"I think I have the perfect thing. It's going to require speed and stealth to pull off."

"Don't all pranks?" Obito grinned. "Whatcha got?"

Minashi showed him to her work desk filled with seals. Pushed the others aside she explained the one she would need to tweek for each clan. Placing it on the entrances of all the compounds would require Obito to keep a constant Genjutsu up around her and around the seal until it was time to release them. A genjutsu that could block the seal's awareness of it's targets until released.

"Can you do it? If not, I can probably whip up a seal to help."

"No, I can. Shishou was helping with my chakra control and genjutsu control."

"Good." She chuckled a bit darkly. "Let's get to strategizing while my clones tweek the seals."

Ten clones popped up and went to work. Obito counted them and frowned. He eyed her confused.

"I can't leave the Uzumaki and Senju out of it or it would be suspicious."

Conceding the point, they went back to strategizing, testing the seal and Obito's genjutsu hours later on the senju/Uzumaki arch.

Minashi reached up, hummed and reached back and twitched at the strange feeling. Looking at Obito, She smirked, pleased with his own new additions.

Obito touched them and the thing sprouting from his behind.

"Why a dragon?" Obito asked, truly curious.

"Hashirama and Tobirama both had the control and power needed for dragon shaped wood and water. Dragons are also creatures that can live on both the Earth and Water."

"Huh." The Half senju Shrugged. "Yours I'm not at all surprised with. What did you make Sensei's? Because your red fur has…spots."

Minashi smirked. "Cheetahs."

Obito stared. "He's a toad summoner-"

"No thank you. I do not want him whining for ages about his disformed face." She deadpanned arms crossed in an 'X' in front of her torso. "They have no ears or tails, remember?"

"Hehehe…"Obito chuckled nervously. "Well, let's deactivate this and reset it to go off with the others."

Minashi nodded and pulled off the temporary test tag. Painting on the new one with disappearing ink, Obito threw up the Genjutsu and they were both off to sneak about the other compounds. With Obito's genjutsu and Minashi's sensing, they slowly but efficiently hit all the Main Clans of Konoha.

Eagerly they returned to the Senju/Uzumaki compound and released the genjutsus on the seals. High fiving each other they decided that they should give themselves alibis by actually being tired from hard training.

Getting into Uzumaki and Senju stances respectively, Minashi and Obito launched at each other, never going easy. Obito hit the ground more often than not, but Minashi was still pushed as Obito's eyes were strong despite only having them for so little time. The trauma and training he'd undergone making them strong.

It was well after the academy let out when they collapsed on the couch of Nagisa's living room. Exhausted and filthy, but so very very satisfied as Minashi had told Obito that she could sense the shock and outrage across Konoha. It was a glorious feeling to a prankster.
