Several days after I had woken up, I was summoned to the private residence of the Fourth Hokage. He had waited until his wife, Lady Kushina had recovered a little more from her ordeal, as it she had expressed her wish to speak to me also. I will admit, I was a little nervous to face them both after such an intense and rather strange incident. I was escorted formally by high ranked Jonin who were sent to the Uchiha compound in order to collect me, taking me directly to the Hokage's home. Taking a deep breath for courage, I allowed myself to be let inside.

"Excuse me, I'm coming in." Bowing over the threshold, I then stepped into the house where the Fourth Hokage himself appeared from within a room. I expected him to be angry, or at least suspicious and wary, but no. Instead he was smiling at me with a handsome face full of warmth, bright eyes softening when he viewed me.

"Ah, so you are Miyuki Uchiha. You're very different from what I expected." He said to me as he stepped out, still smiling as he rubbed the back of his head. "When my wife told me that it was a little girl who had saved us, I couldn't believe it at first but here you are." Blinking once I bowed one more time, greeting the Fourth Hokage formally. "No need for that, Miyuki-chan. Please come inside, there is somebody here who wants to meet you." Politely extending his hand to direct me into the room he had just vacated, I moved forwards as he had gestured then felt his hand come to rest upon my back.

Inside I came upon a brightly lit room with a large bed big enough for two people, decorated with a few personal belongings which signified that this room belonged to the Hokage and his wife. Beside that bed was a high standing cot made from wood, however there was no child inside it. The baby Naruto was in his mother's arms, sleeping and wrapped in an orange blanket. Kushina was propped up in the bed, looking pale and a little sickly but she glowed with an inner radiance as she gazed at her son, rocking him gently until she looked up. "Ah! Miyuki-chan, I'm so glad you're here."

"Hello Lady Kushina. I have brought condiments for your recovery." Lifting the basket of fruit and the flowers up to show her, the new mother giggled and beckoned me to come closer.

"You are very sweet and thoughtful, Miyuki-chan. Minato, would you mind putting these beautiful flowers in water for me?" Agreeing immediately, Minato kissed Kushina's brow as his hand naturally came to rest on top of hers around their son. I watched them with a distant longing, wondering if perhaps had Itachi married me whilst we were living our lives through the Tsykuyomi, would we have had a child together and be acting in the same manner as the Hokage and his wife? A part of me wished for a future like that, whilst the more realistic side told me that it was unlikely. "Don't be shy Miyuki-chan, come and meet Naruto properly. Would you like to hold him?"

"Hm." Nodding my head I finally crossed all the way into the room and put the basket of fruit down onto the bedside table then patiently waited as Kushina slowly shifted her body. It seemed that even minor movements caused her difficulty, forcing her to take great care as she gradually passed Naruto into my arms. Immediately I felt a sense of affinity, the Nine Tails chakra within him recognising the fact that through me, I hid his other half. My eyes widened with alarm and I quickly masked all of my chakra so that the Fox Demon would not be able to sense it, keeping it in a deep slumber for the time being.

"Miyuki-chan? Is everything alright? You've masked your chakra."

"The Nine Tails recognises me." I answered plainly, now holding Naruto a little more cautiously in my arms. He was quite small with a tuft of blond hair and little whisker like markings on his face. He was just…so cute. Not as cute as Sasuke, but still, a very precious looking child. Almost immediately I felt my entire body become soft and an instinctive protectiveness bade me handle Naruto with the utmost care. "He sleeps well."

"He sure does, but when he's awake he really knows how to use his lungs." Kushina giggled as she lay on her side, watching me as I held her son, lingering closely until Minato returned. He smiled at us both, carrying the flowers inside before setting them upon the table also.

"Miyuki-chan, it is because of you that we are both able to watch Naruto grow up. We owe you everything because of that." Minato said as he sat down upon the bed then wrapped his arms lovingly around his wife, holding her against him so that she did not need to extend any energy or effort holding herself upright. "But I do not understand your reasons as to why. I have spoken to Lord Third, who informed me of your private conversation." I did not miss his meaning. "But I wanted to speak to you myself in order to receive a better impression of you. After all, you did knock me out before I could meet you properly last time." He chuckled at that and I found myself blushing with embarrassment.

"I apologise, but I did not know how else to stop you."

"No, no, I was impressed. I did not even sense you coming, even with all your chakra so you must have hidden it very well."

"A little, but you were also exhausted and focused elsewhere. Speed also helped." Both of them chuckled this time, amused by my simple bluntness, possibly. Waiting until they were settled, I listened as Minato finally began to get to the root of his concerns, looking at me now with a serious expression of a Hokage rather than that of a casual new father.

"Miyuki-chan, it has come to my understanding that you are able to see into the future. Is this true?"

"Yes…and no." Seeing their puzzled expressions, I spent the next half an hour explaining to them both how my Tsykuyomi and Kamui worked, that I did not only see the future, as I sometimes wandered into a dream which used my powers of prediction, logic, calculation and probability in order to create simulations in which I would counteract problems by repeatedly going through the experience and learning the correct outcome. With that in mind, all future events that I have seen were the result of some unknown ability born from my high chakra levels and strong bloodline link to Madara.

"I see, so you do not know exactly how you are able to see the future, but you are able to control a process in which you can use your ocular powers to use your knowledge of the future in order to learn how to defeat your opponents, prevent catastrophes and so on."

"Yes. It is complicated, I am sorry my own understanding is lacking…"

"Don't apologise Miyuki-chan, we owe you a lot of thanks for all you have done, so there's no need to feel sorry for anything." Kushina assured me kindly as I returned Naruto to her arms, sensing that he was about to wake up. Sure enough his eyes fluttered open a few moments later and he immediately started to wail, wanting food from his mother. "There, there, Naruto. Your ma is here." Crooning to him softly, I politely turned my head as Kushina lowered the strap of her shirt in order to offer Naruto her breast for him to nurse. "Miyuki-chan, it seems to me that you have gone through a lot in such a short amount of time, having to grow up quickly in order to deal with everything you have endured. Experiencing a thousand lifetimes…I do not think I could handle it."

"Lord Third has mentioned to us that you have relived many lifetimes in order to learn all that was necessary to prevent a future of war and destruction. Miyuki, I would like for you to tell me all that you can so that I might also take precautions." I stiffened a little then, uncertain of what to do. On the one hand I knew without a doubt that I could trust the Fourth Hokage, but I did not want the knowledge of the future to become too well known otherwise others may seek to know their own destinies. In addition, there are certain things that had to happen, including the Great Shinobi War, to bring us all together. A few evils for a greater good…could I really carry that responsibility on my shoulders?

If I do nothing, many lives will be lost and that will be blood on my hands. I cannot willingly share such a burden with anyone else, and the Fourth Hokage had enough to deal with on his own. "I cannot." I finally said, surprising them both. "Knowing too much of the future is dangerous, and may topple the precarious balance of fate. If I am to change too much then everything could be lost. Lord Fourth, Lady Kushina, please. I beg you grant me full autonomy, to act and speak as I need, in order to guarantee the safety of the future." Bowing down upon the floor, Minato hurriedly requested that I stand up.

"Miyuki-chan, I cannot in good conscience grant such a thing to one so young as you, many on the council will see it as an impertinence…" He explained, making me wilt a little in hope. If I cannot act as I see fit, then I shall have to do everything in secrecy, and I do not like the idea of being dishonest with my Hokage. "However, if you agree to at least give reasons or explanations for certain actions you might take, then I can at least speak on your behalf." Looking up, Minato came and placed his hands upon my shoulders, exactly as Lord Third had done in the Tsykuyomi. "So long as I have your solemn vow that everything you do is for the good of the village and everyone within it, then I shall put my trust in you."

"We both will." Kushina smiled at me. "After all, you are the reason we are both here with Naruto, and neither of us sense any malicious intent from you. Call it a gut feeling, but I know that you want what's best for the younger generation, right?" Relieved that they understood, I nodded my head. The next while was spent arranging an agreement between the three of us which would be kept a secret from everyone else. Minato agreed that absolute discretion was key, as if news got out that I had these spectacular ocular powers then another war could break out just over my gifts.

We spoke in absolute confidence, and when I left I felt a little more settled about the matter, though many things still troubled me. Since Minato was still alive, will it matter that it will not become necessary for Tsunade to become Fifth Hokage? Will something happen to try and correct the timeline that I had altered? Fate and Destiny were stubborn, they would do all in their power to maintain their will, so if I am to keep Minato, Kushina and the entire village safe, then I will have to be stronger and more stubborn.

"Miyuki, there is one more thing I would like to ask." Minato said to me, lacing his fingers together AS he studied me closely. "The man who appeared on the night of the attack, who attempted to kill us all. Who was it?"

"I do not know." My lie came effortlessly and without a single flaw, my expression never once flinching or changing. I cannot tell him of Obito, not yet at least. There is still more I need to think and ponder on, things I needed to plan. For the moment Obito will have to remain a secret. "And if I were to discover it, I may not be able to tell you." Minato did not seem all too comfortable with this, however Kushina soothed him with reassurance, telling him that I was sensible and was only thinking of their best interests. Eventually he relented, giving me a final warning that although I had his trust, that he would be watching me closely from now on and that were I to give a single indication that my intentions were anything but honest and good, he would put a stop to me immediately.

It was a slight relief to go home after such an intense yet mild mannered confrontation. Although it left me bewildered and anxious about a great many things, I was at least a little more settled in the knowledge that I had both the Third and Fourth Hokage on my side, as well as Lady Kushina. Still, there were many worries to fret over. I also wondered about my clan, the Uchiha. I do not think I could stomach watching them all be slaughtered again, especially now that my parents were also alive, but I know that their destruction was part of a grander scheme.

I shall have to be clever, and somehow manage to keep everything in balance whilst achieving the best possible outcome. For now, however, I shall tamper with nothing, and merely live the next few years of my life as I wished. Itachi will soon be starting the academy with me, though I do not think I shall be there long. Now that I have exposed myself as a trueborn Uchiha, they will no doubt wish to elevate me to Genin as soon as possible. Just a few years…I shall have to make the most of the time given to me, only this time without mistake.
