If we can go back to those days

Of when we laughed innocently together...

It broke into pieces

It's like a work of glass

I'm gathering up pieces of my memory

You realize those important to you

The world without you

Is just like a jigsaw puzzle

It's still eternally missing pieces and incomplete

Because it's impossible

For anyone to replace you

Please, please stop the time

If, if it's allowed

It's okay even if I sacrificed everything

We are connected

Even though we aren't granted to dream

Nevertheless, we'll keep on searching

For the light that illuminates darkness

- UNDO by Cool Joke -

In the Hidden Cloud Village or Kumogakure, there stands a large mansion. The large place is heavily guarded by ANBUs of that village. The event that occurred there just now is a social party of the richest family in Kumogakure. In fact, they even held an auction event. One of the items that are being sold right now is a pair of slippers that could 200 million yen. During at that time, a group of older men wearing business suits have entered the mansion looking for the owner of the house. Finally found the person they've been looking for.

"Sumitomo!" one of the older men yelled at the owner. Sumitomo looks around to see the men looking at him in a serious manner. He nods and gestures them to follow him upstairs. One of the men, named Enja who sports a red spiky hair and a scar that runs through at the nose, scouted for any suspicious activities. Sumitomo is 54 year old owner of Sumitomo Inc., a business company that deals with trade goods and services. However, they secretly included getting illegal weapons and items as part of their activities. Sumitomo and co. finally reaches the meeting room and when they entered, he closes the door completely. Unknown to them, 3 mysterious nins in their Henge forms spotted their targets. One nin signals the other two to follow her upstairs carefully.

Enja looks at the man. "I take it you have them transferred to our company?"

"Y-yes. They'll arrive t-tomorrow. Is t-that all?" Sumitomo replies nervously. Even if this is the first meeting the both of them, he is very nervous.

Enja adjusts himself in the chair, with his legs crossed. He can tell that Sumitomo, although a very corrupt businessman, is a very responsible man who will do whatever it takes to claim what he wants. But, somehow, Enja doesn't trust him.

"It better be or my boss will have your head on the platter. Do I make myself clear?" Enja snaps back.

Sumitomo is now scared. "Y-YES! Um, is that all?"

"Well, no. I want to discuss something. Oh yes, the Akatsuki."

Sumitomo doesn't like this. "W-what about them?"

"A few months ago, our reliable spies have informed us that you were doing business with them. May I ask what business are you dealing with them?"

Sumitomo tries to relax but fails. "What are you talking about? I made no..."

Enja angrily slams on the table with his fist that scares Sumitomo and everypne else. "DON'T YOU LIE TO ME OLD, IMPOTENT GEEZER!!! Our spies would not lie to us or otherwise we kill them because WE know if they're telling the truth."

While the now-angry Enja is scaring the living daylights of Sumitomo, one of Enja's partners looks at them while he digests the information on his head. He strangely scratches his crotch that made his partner beside him look disgusted. He apologetically smiles at his partner and shifts his sights on the two men.

"I swear to you! I don't know what you are talking about!" replies a nervous Sumitomo

"Sumitomo, make me clear this for you. It seems either you're suffering from lack of memory due to your age or you're just lying, period. Now, if the answer is the second one, I will kill you and your family and hell, the entire village. So, my old soon-to-be victim, what is it?" Enja threatens him.

"L-look, I'll tell but please, don't kill my family!"

"Can't make that promise since you lied."

"I was forced to by Uchiha Itachi!"

Enja is surprised at this piece of information. "WHAT?!"

The man is also surprised as well but keeps it to himself.

"What does Uchiha Itachi, that son of a bitch, want?"

Sumitomo reveals to him nervously. "He-he asked me if I saw what they were looking for."

"What was he looking for exactly?"

"One month ago, one of his former partners from the Akatsuki was murdered by someone only Itachi knows. He didn't specify who he or she was."

Enja digest this information. Who would be powerful enough to kill one former Akatsuki member? "Is that all?"

"Y-yes! A-also, he asked me about the whereabouts of the one who holds the Kyu..."

As fast as you can say "boo", a small shuriken crashes from the window and kills Sumitomo by hitting in the forehead. Everyone is on full alert as Enja unleashes his sword to look for the assassin. The man who scratched his crouch earlier unknowingly began to faint. Enja immediately sees one of his partners on the ground unconscious.

It turns out that the three nins who followed them earlier where outside of the meeting room. One of the nins wakes up and gets up to the ground. The second nin gestures them to follow her so that they wouldn't be spotted by the guards. The commotion can be heard from below the party but the partygoers either didn't hear it or chose to ignore it. The second nin carefully leads her fellow nins out from the mansion. Their mission was to know what was Sumitomo was up to but with the owner of the mansion dead, they have no choice but to get out. They will also have to report about a man named Enja.

But just as they reach the door, it opens itself and to the nins' surprise, Kisame enters the mansion, looks around and then leaves. This baffled the trio and then they decide to follow him. Kisame, using stealth, manages to exit the village after a few jumps from the roof top. The nins didn't know whether he knows that they were following him. Just to be sure, they followed him 20 ft. away from him. Their "chase" soon ended in a river where Kisame stops for awhile. The nins hid in the trees while looking at their target. The trio decides it was time to unseal their transformations. After some quick hand seals, the nins transformed back into Yamanaka Ino, Hyuuga Hinata and Tenten. By physical appearance, Ino is beautiful and her blonde hair has grown back, only way longer. Now a Chuunin, Ino discarded her purple outfit for a white short dress with blue linings and long sleeves (A/N: think Millia Rage of the Guilty Gear series). Add to her wardrobe are white sandals and black knuckle gloves. Hinata, also a Chuunin, discarded her old look for something new (or the insistence of Ino). She wears a gray jacket that is similar to her old one and a slim fitting cargo pants that reaches at the top of her ankle plus blue sandals. Inside her jacket is a black long sleeve shirt. Her hair has grown longer only shoulder-length and a small braid. Tenten's outfit is a red small Chinese sleeveless dress that reaches only her to her thighs. She has red clothed armbands but still maintains her hair buns (A/N: think Jam of Guilty Gear).

The girls carefully glance at Kisame, who now disappeared. Thinking that he may be still around, the girls came out of the tree and went to where he stood earlier. Unknown to them, Kisame knew they were following them and hid somewhere they couldn't see him. Performing a few hand seals, Kisame performs Suiton-Suikoudan no Jutsu on the girls. They immediately saw the jutsu aiming at them. They tried to escape but they were hit by the blast. Kisame smirked and mumbles something about "stupid rookies". All of the sudden, six exploding kunais are aimed towards at him. Kisame avoids them but it seems that they are following him until he has no choice but to deflect them. He swings the Samehada but with each hit, the kunai explodes itself. But being an expert shinobi for a long time, Kisame manages to avoid the explosions except for a few burns. He looks at Hinata, Tenten and Ino, ready to fight him.

"Heh, I didn't expect to fight such cute girls", Kisame smirks.

"Heh, we didn't expect to fight a big, ugly moron like you", Ino snaps back.

Kisame wanted to fight the girls but he is expected at the headquarters right about now. "Sorry, I really wanted to kill you brats but I'm in a hurry."

Kisame is about to leave when Ino performs the Shinranshin no Jutsu and is able to control Kisame's movements. Ino forces Kisame to drop his weapon and telekinetically twists his arm.

"You answer our questions. Did you kill Sumitomo at the Hidden Cloud Village?" Ino interrogates him while Tenten and Ino expect the unexpected.

"Why should I tell you?!" Kisame angrily spats back at her. Ino then twists Kisame's arm that made the man yelp. "Answer us or you'll be fighting us with your broken arm! Talk!" Ino yells at him.

"NEVER! BITCH!"

To Ino's horror, Kisame manages to break free of her control. On how he manages to do that was beyond her. Kisame grabs the Samehada and charges at them. He swings the blade at them but they avoid the attack. Earlier, the girls and the rest were informed of the members of the Akatsuki. They knew that the Samehada is very dangerous and must be avoided at all costs. Tenten flips back and performs some hand seals.

"TSURUGI TOBASHI NO JUTSU! (Flying Swords No Jutsu)"

A ring of six katanas circle around Tenten. The move can be used as both offensive and defensive technique. Hinata, in the meantime, activates her Byakugan. The girls' battle plan is simple: while Tenten and Ino offensively attack Kisame, Hinata will perform the Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou, which was thought by Neji after he had heard of his cousin was disowned. Kisame, on the other hand, knew that one of them will be the big gun while the other two are just merely distractions. But he was in a hurry.

"Sorry, girls, as much I like to entertain you, but I..."

"TSURUGI TOBASHI NO JUTSU: ZEN! (Flying Swords No Jutsu: Forward) "

Tenten throws the ring of six katanas straight forward at Kisame. He simply bats the swords away but Ino uses her new attack. Her long hair begins to move courtesy of her Shinranshin no Jutsu. It took her a long time to perfect her hair movement but now it has become her deadliest weapon. In fact, it was this move that brought her to Chuunin status. One good thing also is that her hair can't be cut easily due to a special jutsu. Her hair becomes a sword-like weapon and slides on the ground.

"TETSU SABURU! (Iron Sabre)"

Just as Kisame deflects the swords, he sees Ino charging at him. He avoids the attack by jumping sidewards to the river. Using his chakra, Kisame floats above on the water and is about to perform the Suiton-Suikoudan no Jutsu when out of the blue, Hinata reappears on Kisame's behind in the air and kicks him in the head. Kisame quickly dodges the attack and swings the sword at her. But to his surprise, Hinata lands at top of the sword. She quickly performs the Juuken directly at the location of his heart but he teleports away. Ino and Tenten come to her aid at the river. Kisame was nowhere to be found.

"Damn", Hinata mutters. "I let him get away."

"Hinata-chan, it's not your fault. He was just...too powerful for us to handle", Tenten tells her. "Luckily, we managed to fight him unscathed. Guess that training with Anko-sensei was worth it."

At the mention of Anko's name, the girls shiver in fear. Her training with them was traumatizing but it managed to strengthen them.

"But", Tenten continues, "At least we got the information. Although, the Akatsuki was a surprise."

Ino nods. "Yeah, but what's going on? We were sent to spy on Sumitomo. But, well..." She stretches her arms and yawns. "I'm beat. Let's get out of here." The three girls began to head straight for Konoha, tired.


"That's about it, Tsunade-sama. All we know is that right before Sumitomo was assassinated, he mentioned something Itachi asking him something about the murderer of a former Akatsuki member and that this guy warned about something", Ino reports what she has heard and seen last night. The three girls are in Tsunade's office. The Godaime nods on their progress.

"Excellent work. But, what was Kisame doing there?" Tsunade asks them.

"We somehow believe that he was the one who assassinated Sumitomo. Basically it's all about shutting someone up by eliminating them", Tenten tells her.

"That doesn't sound right. If Kisame did kill Sumitomo, how did he know about the meeting?"

"Maybe he was on the Akatsuki's target list. I think it's just coincidence."

Tsunade thinks about it. The Akatsuki has become active more than ever. Her advice to the other Konoha nins is to avoid them at all costs. But if ever they were to encounter them, escape is the only option.

"Good job, girls. Take a break."

The three girls bow to Tsunade and just as they leave, she asks them one thing.

"Have you girls seen...?"

Hinata shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama. We haven't."

With that, the girls left and Tsunade is left contemplating about Naruto. Even up to now, she hasn't branded him as a missing-nin despite the pleas of the council. She hasn't got the heart to do so. She even wondered if she would remain the Hokage without him. She missed him, and so do everyone else who cared for him.


Konoha has changed a bit over the last four years. More stores have opened and shinobi has increased a bit. But they are still on guard on any possible attack, Orochimaru on the top of the list.

Ino, Tenten and Hinata lived together on one house. It was a privilege to be independent, away from the nagging parents and they could do whatever they want. Unfortunately, the house is right next to the Yamanakas' so Ino has to be extra careful.

"What time we're supposed to meet the guys? I'm starving!" asks Ino.

"30 minutes from now...I suppose we could take a rest or...do it now", suggest Hinata.

The two other girls nod. They went to the Yamanaka Flower Shop and got some flowers. Then, they immediately headed for the cemetery to pray for the dead. Once they reached their destination, they saw a very familiar bowl cut, green suited Chuunin.

"Lee-kun!" Hinata greets her friend.

Lee turns around to see the girls, carrying flowers. "Hi girls!" he smiles as he greets them back. Lee was almost the exact copy of Gai except that the former is more handsome than the latter in their standards. Lee has now muscles and the skill to take down even the strongest of foes. However, he was advice, or rather forced, to take up some of the ninjutsu and genjutsu basics if he really wants to become a well rounded shinobi.

"Hey Lee, how long have you been here?" asks Tenten.

"Just now. How was the mission?"

"Long story. We'll tell you everything later."

The the girls lay the flowers to the grave. Then, they and Lee silently prayed for Sakura. It has been a ritual for them. Once a week, they visit Sakura's grave and pray for her. Lee and Ino missed their pink-haired friend the most.

Afterwards, they headed towards to the BBQ restaurant where Chouji hangs out. They see Kiba, Shino, Neji, Chouji and Shikamaru waiting for them. They grew taller over the last four years. Shikamaru has some few unshaven hairs on his face but surprisingly, he managed to grow some muscle on his skinny frame. He is one of the well-respected Chuunins but only a handful knew he couldn't get over his first mission failure which was to bring back Sasuke. However, he and Temari are dating, but nothing serious yet. Neji became more handsome and quiet deadly. He now wears brown cargo pants and an enclosed short sleeve jacket with long sleeve shirt underneath. When he had heard of what had happened to Hinata, he offered his condolences and training for her. In fact, it didn't take Hiashi's orders to keep an eye out for her. Neji has come to respect his once timid cousin as she pushes her limits while training. Kiba still hasn't changed in terms of physical appearance but like the guys, he has now muscles. Akamaru, on the other hand, grew from a cute puppy into a ferocious dog that means business. His hair is still short at the insistence of his elder sister since she thinks that "he looks cute with short hair". At age 16, Kiba has small feelings for Hinata but those feelings have grown. Chouji and Shino still haven't changed except that Shino has now a summoning contract and Chouji is considered one of the physically strongest among the group.

Neji sees Tenten and scowls at her choice of clothes. "Why are you wearing that thing?" Neji and Tenten came together last year. She didn't enjoy Neji's over protectiveness at her. It was as if he owns her. "What's it to you?" Tenten snaps back.

Once everyone sits together, they began their conversation.

"How was the mission?" Kiba curiously asks.

"Not bad, except that we ran into one of the Akatsuki members", answers Ino. "Luckily we managed to escape."

"Them again?" Shikamaru raises his eyebrows. In one mission, he, Kiba and Neji ran into Itachi and Mitsuki but luckily they were saved by Kakashi and Asuma. But during the course of their fight Shikamaru thought he was going to die.

"C'mon guys! Let's order!" Chouji tells them.

If there was one thing all of them have in common is this: they all failed the Jounin exams. It was still strange on how Gaara, Temari and Kankuro passed. In fact, the day before the exam, they all think it would be like the Chuunin exams: getting scrolls and fight to the next round. But as Shikamaru and Gaara tells them: "always expect the unexpected". During the first round, many of them failed until Shikamaru, Shino, Neji and Hinata made it to the second round. However, they were eliminated. At the end of the Jounin exams, Shikamaru was offered the Jounin title since he impressed a lot of people, including Tsunade. His response?

"Thanks, but no thanks. True, I would have easily taken it but deep down, I don't know. Maybe I am looking for a way to prove myself, even if it is troublesome. As my mother would yell at me, don't take the shortcut towards life. While I was Chuunin years ago, I kinda felt lonely. So my answer is no. I would rather take the exam again with my very troublesome friends. But thank you for the offer. And Tsunade-sama? Please make the exam easier. I can still hear Chouji's scream of pain for food."

Temari was saddened but still supported his decision. His father was impressed by it. Even Tsunade and Asuma supported his decision.

Another thing they have in common is that they missed Naruto. No one knows where he is. When Gaara heard of his disappearance, his first thought was Sasuke kidnapped him. But when he had heard of the Akatsuki, he was on the look out for them.


"Here you go."

Iruka handed Kakashi a list of who will be his students. The scarecrow grinned.

"Well, guess I'll be handling prodigies of sort", Kakashi chuckles.

"Yeah. Hyuuga Hanabi, their heir of the Hyuuga clan and also one of the strongest nins in her class. Konohamaru...well, he's sort of a prodigy himself" Iruka tells him.

"I heard he and Hanabi had a rivalry and hated each other."

Iruka sighs. "They hated each other because Hanabi thinks Konohamaru is a pest. Konohamaru thinks she's a stuck-up bitch. They fought over a lot of things including a last piece of Pocky."

"Ooh. I remember that. Isn't that the time when they nearly destroyed your classroom?" Kakashi reminded him.

Iruka grimaces at that day. It was a mess that classes had to be suspended for a day. As for the two bickering students, they were punished by pulling weeds during the course of the hot summer.

"Kakashi", Iruka looks at him, "I trust that they won't kill each other right before they even begun their first mission?"

"Nah. Don't worry. I'll just snap their necks."

"KAKASHI!" yells a mortified Iruka.

Kakashi chuckles. "Heh heh, don't worry Iruka-kun! I'll take good care of them! Besides, you're too much of a worry wart! Besides, you know I'm kidding, right?"

"I don't know. Sometimes you take things seriously", mutters an annoyed Iruka.

Kakashi and Iruka became close friends after their fight at the former's home. Iruka did convinced Kakashi to apologize to the others he has offended before. In fact, both have become each other's confidant. At one point, Anko teased them about being "together" which Iruka immediately denied. There was no way in hell he was gay, Iruka thought. Unfortunately, he was, and still is, a virgin. Thus there are possibilities: 1. Iruka is a conservative. He will have sex when he's married; 2. He hasn't gotten any chick at all since he's deeply afraid of women; 3. He's gay, period.

On the other hand, this is Kakashi's first Genin team since 4 years ago. He rejoined the ANBU after some therapy. He still missed his old team. He still hasn't found Naruto and Sasuke although he had heard of the latter's exploits, which only consists of assassination and stealing important stuff.

"Okay, then last on my team is Chikako Hideaki", Kakashi continues to read the list. "He's an orphan?"

"Yeah", Iruka confirms. "He was found on the gate when he was a baby. No one knew, not even the guards, who put the baby there."

"That's creepy."

"But he's the number one rookie ninja of his class. He's brilliant, smart, skilled, but..."

Kakashi notices his friend's hesitation. "But what?"

"Sorry, but it's what the Sandaime told me. I forgot about it."

"Don't worry. I'll check on him personally. By the way Iruka, you coming to Gai's birthday?"

Iruka nods. "He did personally invited me. Don't want to hurt his feelings by not going. Don't tell me you're not going?"

"Oh I'm going. I'll probably give him a gift certificate to the beauty parlor. He needs it."

Iruka laughs. "You're mean!"


Konohamaru hated his life. Although he was happy that he became a Genin, he was paired up with Hanabi, his most hated rival. He always thinks that she is a stuck-up since he formulated a conclusion that anyone with a bloodline is deemed to be an arrogant person.

"Hey Konohamaru! Are you listening?" Moegi yells at her friend.

The grandson of the Sandaime looks at his two best friends. Udon and Moegi also passed the academy and became Genins. But lucky for them, they are paired together in another team under Kurenai. Konohamaru hated his life.

"C'mon Konohamaru. At least you're with Naruto-niichan's sensei", Udon tells him.

Konohamaru missed Naruto. He didn't know why he disappeared but what he heard is that he was captured. Kakashi is now his sensei, the same man who made him cry 4 years ago. He's nervous that Naruto's sensei is going to be his.

"Lucky for you guys you get to be together!" Konohamaru pouts.

"But you're with the legendary Kakashi! What else can you ask for?" said Moegi.

"Hanabi being eaten by a monster."

"What else can you ask for other than that?"

Konohamaru sighs. "You guys are right. Maybe he would make me the strongest shinobi of Konoha!"

Udon nods his head. "Yeah. Maybe he can teach you some awesome jutsus! By the way, you're the same team with Chikako Hideaki."

The leader of the Konohamaru Corps remembers Hideaki. He was shy but bright and not arrogant. Yet, Konohamaru couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. "Yup. I haven't known Hideaki a lot. Maybe we could be friends! Maybe we could team up and bury Hanabi to the ground!"


"This isn't fair! Why do you always judge me? I don't need another parent to tell me what to do!"

Tenten and Neji now having one of their couple spats which usually revolve in a separation or mending fences. By now, the entire restaurant are watching the couple while their friends suffer the embarrassment.

"They have got to stop", complains Shikamaru.

"Look at your dress! It's short and guys can see your panties!" retorts Neji.

"I don't think you're ready for this relationship at all, Neji", Tenten tells him as she crosses her arms.

"It's not as if Neji is sociable", Kiba mumbles.

"You're taking advantage of me!" Neji snaps back.

"I'M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU?" Tenten gasps in shock. "Are you crazy? You're good as a shinobi but you suck at everything else! You know what? This isn't relationship. You don't need me. All you care about is lots of orgasms."

When hearing the word "orgasm", everyone looks at the couple. Neji covers his face to save from embarrassment. Hinata blushes at the thought of Neji and Tenten already having sex. Kids these days.

"Um Tenten", Neji softly speaks to her, "That was beyond embarrassing."

Kiba shakes his head. "No it's not." He looks at Tenten. "Please continue."

"Please don't", Shino warns them.

"This is important", Tenten tells them.

"Yes. But why here? Couldn't you guys resolve your issues together and then proceed to make wild monkey sex that would possibly result in teenage pregnancy if Neji doesn't take protection?"

Now everyone is looking at Shino, who is calmly eating. They could not believe he said that. Shino just regretted his action. That's why he doesn't talk much.


The next day, Konohamaru waited at the training grounds where the original Team 7 trained before. He knows that Kakashi would always be late ever since Naruto complained it to him. So far, Hanabi and Hideaki are not yet here, which is a good thing since he needed to be alone for a while.

"Good morning, Konohamaru-san."

Konohamaru looks at Hideaki approaching. The latter has very black hair but has pale skin and strangely, red eyes. His hair reaches to his ears.

"Good morning to you too, Hideaki!" Konohamaru greets him back.

"How are you? Where is Kakashi-sensei?" Hideaki asks him.

Konohamaru smiles back. "I'm fine. Oh by the way, Kakashi-sensei is always late. So keep that in mind."

"Thank you for the reminder, Konohamaru-san."

"Hey! We're teammates now! Just call me Konohamaru only okay? The future Hokage!"

"Yeah, the same Hokage who will bring forth death and destruction to Konoha."

Konohamaru twitches his eye. He knows that voice. They turned around to see Hanabi walking towards them in an arrogant manner. The Hyuuga heiress is also not happy being put into a team with Konohamaru. But, she's happy that she is with Hideaki since she respects him due to his excellence at being a shinobi and his high grades.

"Hey! We're having a conversation here so why don't you butt off!" Konohamaru yells at her.

"I'm not talking to you, idiot!" Hanabi snaps back.

"Konohamaru, Hanabi-san, please stop fighting. Kakashi-sensei would not be pleased", Hideaki tells them as he tries to calm them down.

"There's no way I would listen to a stuck-up, arrogant know-it-all! You think just because you're the heiress doesn't mean you talk people down!" Konohamaru spats at her in pure venom.

"You're nothing but the late Sandaime's grandson! You always act like a baboon. You think your pranks will win everyone? Forget it!" Hanabi yells at him.

Just then, Kakashi appears in a puff of smoke. The three genins look at their new sensei.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Konohamaru yells at Kakashi.

Kakashi grins. He reminds him of Naruto. "Sorry, I have to fend off aliens from outer space."

"LIAR!"

Kakashi chuckles. He definitely reminds him of Naruto and the rest of Team 7. He looks at his new students.

"Well then. How about we get to know each other first and then we'll start training?"


UP NEXT: Trouble at the Sand as Gaara and his siblings must fight the corrupt government


AUTHOR'S NOTES:

1. Hideaki, the new character, will play a huge role in this story.

2. Enja is in the new group Shino and his father investigated earlier.

3. Ino's attacks are based on Millia Rage of Guilty Gear. Sorry for that, but I don't have any originality when it comes to special techniques.

4. I will take a break for a while.

5. Expect the females nins to fight more like the guys. They deserve it.

Any feedback/criticism/comments would be appreciated. Please do it constructively.
