"I remember their faces. It's like a nightmare that never ends…" Brent admitted when Phoebe asked him about the area. He took a moment to try and remember. "… They took me into this big area and there were a lot of pipes… I'm sorry, that's really all I remember." Brent apologized.

Phoebe sighed softly. "That's okay, Brent." she soothed though her voice radiated disappointment.

"You're disappointed." Brent realized.

"No not at all." Phoebe assured.

Brent laughed and shook his head in disagreement to her comments. "Someone that can see your face might believe you, but your voice tells another story."

"Gave me away, huh?" Phoebe joked.

Brent nodded and smiled at the sister. He took a moment, seemingly staring straight at Phoebe. "You have a beautiful smile." He complimented.

Phoebe tilted her head curiously. "How can you tell?" She started but trailed off as Brent began to speak again, anticipating her question.

"I can hear it in your voice. See it in my mind." Brent explained. Phoebe gratefully reached out and took his hand, but whatever she was going to say was interrupted as she was pulled into a premonition.

Brent as a young boy, feeling his way through the storm drains after he escaped from the Grimlocks. He passed over a sign that read 'SF PUC N̊˚ 12.'

Phoebe jerked out of the premonition to Brent's worried voice. "What's the matter? Are you okay?" He demanded, having felt her sudden tense.

"I'm fine." Phoebe assured Brent. "Um, Brent, when they took you, were you wearing a sweat shirt with jeans and black high tops?" She asked squinting her eyes as she tried to remember the details of her premonition.

"Yeah, I think I was…" Brent allowed, turning a curious look to Phoebe. "How did you…?"

"And when you escaped were you running through water?" Phoebe interrupted eagerly.

Brent nodded quickly. "Yes, I remember that… in the tunnel." He responded.

Phoebe smiled triumphantly. "Okay, Brent, I need you to think really hard. Do you remember anything, anything at all about that location? Did you hear anything or feel anything?" Phoebe inquired.

"All I remember is this, uh, sound of this enormous generator… and maybe some cable cars." He realized thoughtfully.

"Cable cars?" Phoebe repeated.

"Well, that would narrow down the search significantly. There are only a few main lines in San Francisco. The boys would probably have been taken to the one closest to the park." Paige remarked.

Phoebe nodded slightly. "Hey, do you have a map?" She asked Brent before realizing what she had asked. "Oh, I'm sorry, that was so stupid." Phoebe apologized immediately.

"No, no, I actually do have map of that area. It's over here." Brent carefully stood up from the couch and felt his way across the room to his desk with a surprised Phoebe following. He pulled out a large book. "What are we looking for exactly?" He questioned.

"I don't know. Cable car turned around maybe. That generator that you heard could have been a power plant." Phoebe suggested.

Brent opened the book and started flipping through the pages of small-area maps. His hands moved methodically over one of the pages. "Let's see… On this map, okay, there are two turnarounds on this page and, uh, right, here it is. There's a power plant here on Verick."

Phoebe's gaze flickered from the page to Brent. "How can you tell?" She wondered softly.

"Here, give me your hand." Brent replied, taking Phoebe's hand and running it over the page. "Now feel these three horizontal bumps followed by the two vertical. On this map, that's the sign for power plant." He explained, earning a smile from Phoebe.

Phoebe carefully pulled her hand out of Brent's gentle hold. "I better go."

Brent quickly turned and called to stop her. "Phoebe, how'd you know what I was wearing and where I was running? Are you some kind of psychic or something?''

"Uh, like, only different." Phoebe answered cryptically.

Brent nodded in understanding. "Right. That's how you've seen all these other monsters that you mentioned, isn't it?" She didn't respond which was answer enough for him. "You're a good person. That probably means that you have a strong aura. Please, be careful with these monsters." He pleaded.

"Don't worry I will." Phoebe promised.

Meanwhile down in the storm drain. David crawled blindly to the other children that were strapped with him. "Don't worry my mom has a friend who's got supernatural powers. She'll get us out of here." He promised optimistically.

Billy didn't appear reassured as he didn't slow his crying or even move from his position curled on the ground. "If they don't kill us first!" a chocolate haired girl interrupted. "You weren't here, there was another kid with us and they killed her." The rather sullen girl brought her knees up to her chin.

One of the Grimlocks pounded on the fence that held the children. "Shut up!" The Grimlock ordered before stalking off to join his companion

At Bucklands Auction House Prue leaned back against the chair at her desk, the phone held up to her ear as she conversed with Piper. "Did you hear about that philanthropist that was mysteriously strangled?" Prue asked pointedly.

"It's gotta be the Grimlocks. That's how they kill." Piper answered from the other end, careful to keep her attention on the road as she drove. "We're running out of time. We have less than three hours; did you get the Schisandra root?" She demanded nervously.

"No, but I'm leaving now to pick it. Um, look, did Phoebe get anything out of Brent that might help us?" Prue inquired.

Andy was casually leaning against the door to Prue's office who unbeknownst to Prue, was listening to her side of the conversation. "Who's Brent Miller?" He questioned, announcing his presence to the oblivious Prue.

Prue jumped at the unexpected intrusion, her eyes flickering up to meet Andy's. She vaguely heard Piper's "I'm not sure," answer. She didn't immediately respond and thus Piper called "Prue?" through the phone.

"I gotta go." Prue replied to Piper and quickly hung up. She turned her attention to the patiently waiting Andy. "Andy, hi, what are you doing here?" Prue asked with a hint of forced innocence.

Andy casually strolled forward. "Working on the kidnappings and thought we should talk." He explained.

"If you're here about the kidnappings, I've already told the police everything that I know." She lied smoothly as she walked to the bookcase where she began returning the stack in her hands.

Andy arched an eyebrow as he studied Prue's actions. She seemed to be focusing really hard on something and he highly doubted that it was the books in her hands. He let it go. They would be getting into that soon enough and he didn't want to scare her into silence. "Not according to Eric Lohman, you didn't. He stopped by the station, we had an interesting chat." Andy countered.

"Yeah, well, he's a reporter trying to make a name for himself. You can't believe anything he says." She returned, still avoiding his gaze.

"Normally, I don't. This time I do." Andy replied, stepping closer so that Prue had no choice but to meet his eyes. "We've been down this road too many times, Prue. I know you have a secret and I've had to accept that fact that you can't tell me or you don't want to tell me. Either way, it's not just me anymore. Lohman's onto you and he's not going to let go." He insisted as if willing her to understand. Prue sighed, dropping her gaze to the floor. Andy ran a hand through his hair in frustration at her continued silence. "Prue, I can't help you if you won't talk to me."

Prue hesitantly raised her eyes again. "Andy, I'm just never sure if it's better for you to know or not to know." She admitted softly.

"I remember a time when we could tell each other anything." Andy sighed. "There's nothing Lohman won't do to get this story. Watch your back." He warned before turning around and heading for the door.

Prue hesitated but a moment longer. "Andy…" She called. Andy paused at the door and turned back to her. "Thanks." She gratified. Andy smiled faintly and nodded in acknowledgment. She watched him leave before Prue turned away and grabbed her bags. She had some Schisandra root to pick up.

With his secret blown there was no sense in Naruto holding back. He immediately went into sage mode and with speed the demons couldn't follow rammed a Rasengan into one of the demons skulls. Skin, flesh, and skulls fragments went flying as seconds later the demon burst into flames. Twisting out of the way of fire balls Naruto charged forward and plunged his kunai into the gut of another one, quickly grabbing his head and snapping his neck.

Realizing that they were outmatched the demons began fleeing. Naruto's attempt to spear the leader met with failure as it turned out it was nothing but an astral projection. He silently swore as he turned his attention back to the witches. Before he could do anything his cellphone went off. "Yeah, Naruto here." He answered.

"Naruto its Phoebe, what do you know about Grimlocks?"

"They're sight stealers if I'm remembering correctly. I don't know all that much about them."

"Several children have been kidnapped. The latest being the son of a friend of Piper's and we could really use some help."

"I…I have my hands full. Someone's discovered my identity not to mention I have some witches who tried to kill me."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I need to sort this out and try to figure what's going on. I'll be there to help you as soon as I can." He said as they said their goodbyes.

Phoebe hung up just as she arrived to Verick Street. Taking a hold of the huge map she had gotten from Brent and held it open, trying to make sure they were in the right spot. Phoebe finally just shrugged and walked up to the storm drain entrance in front of them. With a tug, the door swung open with a deep creaking sound. "Bingo." Phoebe exclaimed with a look of triumph.

Back at the manor Piper pulled up to the walkway and stepped out of her jeep. She grabbed her bags and ran up the steps where she met Prue, whom had parked in the short driveway. "Did you get it?"

"Yeah, I got it." Prue assured, holding up the small bag. She started for the door without even looking at Piper.

Piper frowned and reached out to stop Prue. "What's wrong? What happened with Andy?" Piper asked in concern.

Prue didn't immediately respond and reluctantly turned to face Piper. "He stopped by my office after Lohman stopped by his. I think he told Andy about my powers." She wearily admitted.

"Uh oh…" Piper softly mumbled, her eyes widening slightly. "What did you do?" She wondered.

"Same as I always do. I danced around the truth. It just doesn't feel right anymore." Prue sighed.

"Look, maybe you should…" Piper trailed off as she caught sight of a baby carriage rolling across the road… right in front of an 18-wheeler. "Oh my god!" Piper exclaimed, throwing her hands out and freezing the street.

Prue immediately spun around and dashed toward the scene as soon as she'd comprehended what had happened. "Where is the mother?" Prue snapped a fierce look in her eyes as she gazed around the street to locate the infant's parents.

Piper reached in and moved the blanket to find that the carriage was empty. "Oh, thank god." She breathed in relief.

Prue's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Wait a second, since when did the Johnson's get a baby?" Prue realized her jaw dropping as she saw Lohman perched next to the driveway with his camera pointed where the sisters had been standing moments previous. "That damn reporter." She cursed. "Look!" Prue pointed in the corresponding direction for Piper's benefit.

"Okay, uh, confused." Piper hissed.

"Alright, that's Lohman. This is a set up. We need to get back to where we were before everything unfreezes, go!" Prue ordered, leading the way back up the steps to the Manor. Prue stopped in her spot while Piper turned to face her, exactly as they had been before. "Don't forget to put your hands up." Prue reminded. Piper nodded and tossed her purse over her shoulder. She got her hands up just in time for the street to unfreeze. The 18-wheeler blew the horn as it just barely missed the carriage which slammed into the curb at the side of the street. Neither sister responded.

Lohman turned a curious eye between the door the two sisters had disappeared in and the fallen baby carriage. His eyes dropped to his camera, hoping that it might have picked up something. He replayed the tape, watching as he kicked the baby carriage into the street and then turned the screen to the sisters. There was a faint jump in the play and he smiled triumphantly. "Purse on right shoulder… purse on left shoulder." He whispered, pointing to Piper's purse that switched shoulders. Lohman rewound it just to make sure. "Purse on right shoulder, purse on left shoulder. What do you know? She's got another power. Gotcha."

Prue peeked out the window almost twenty minutes after going inside, to find Lohman waiting in his car and watching the house with an eager expression. Prue let the curtain go and it returned to blocking the window just as Piper's irritated voice sounded.

"I cannot believe he is still out there!" Piper exclaimed, throwing her hands up dramatically as she paced back and forth around the room.

"Tell me about it." Prue sighed. She leaned back against the wall next to the window, her eyes following Piper's movements.

Both sisters jumped as Phoebe entered into the room. "What are you two doing?"

"Didn't you see that guy parked out front in his car?" Prue inquired, pointing back behind her at the window.

"Yes?" Phoebe asked, waiting for Prue to answer her.

Prue sighed and pulled the curtain away from the window. "That's the reporter I told you about. He's staking us out."

"What?"

"He tricked us into using our powers and nearly caught us." Piper continued in a very subdued voice.

"But fortunately we figured out what he was doing before he got any proof." Prue finished.

"Oh, thank God." Phoebe stated, relieved.

Piper returned to her nervous pacing. "The only problem is how we are going to be out looking for David when he's camped outside. We have less than two hours."

The Halliwell sisters fell silent as the doorbell rang, echoing through their house. The youngest three looked to Prue, who acknowledged them with a faint nod. With a look of annoyance dancing in her eyes, Prue squeezed past them to the door where the cause of her annoyance waited.

As soon as the front door opened, Lohman stepped over the threshold. "Hey, how's it going? Mind if I use your bathroom?" He asked, a little too enthusiastically. Lohman threw his hand out to stop the door as Prue attempted to slam it in his face. "Hey, don't bother using your magical powers on me. I've already hid the video tape." Lohman openly mocked.

Prue didn't appear phased by his comment. "What videotape?" She inquired emotionlessly.

"Yeah, you know, best I could guess is somehow one of you stopped time…" He started. In the background, Piper tensed. "… Or rewound it. I don't know. What I do know is that I got the whole thing on tape." Lohman announced triumphantly.

"You're bluffing." Prue stated.

"Am I?" Lohman challenged with a grin. "How do you explain your sister's purse magically jumping from her right shoulder to her left shoulder instantaneously? You screwed up and I got the proof." He laughed, rubbing his hands eagerly. His gaze never left Prue. "Okay, now here's the deal. I already got my story ready to print, but all I really want now from you is a tell-all exclusive. I'll write the book, we can share in the movie rights, foreign sales, distributions…" Lohman trailed off as Prue harshly pushed him back out the door. "… It'll be a good thing." He insisted just before the door slammed. "Okay, I'll just wait outside until you're ready to talk." His voice carried through the door.

Prue turned back to her sisters, obviously barely restraining her anger. Phoebe was the first to dare break the ensuing silence. "What are we gonna do?" Phoebe questioned, completely at a loss.

"Alright, look, I will stay here and finish the potions. You guys, go try and find the boys. Buy us some time. Just keep on freezing those Grimlocks, okay, until I get there." Prue decided.

"What about Lohman?" Piper demanded with a glare back at the door.

"Don't worry about him. I will stop him from following you." Prue assured them.

She waited until they had disappeared into the kitchen before walking out the front door to find Lohman sprawled across their steps. "Lohman, I've been thinking about what you said. Maybe we can work something out." Prue called feigning thoughtfulness.

Lohman was on his feet and staring at Prue in disbelief. "Why don't I believe you?" He asked rhetorically.

Prue returned his smile, inwardly cringing at the act. "Oh, I don't know, maybe it's your reporter instincts." She offered flirtatiously. Lohman was easily buying her distraction. Over his shoulder, she could just make out her two sisters sneaking to Piper's jeep. The doors shut the same time the engine roared and Lohman, immediately realizing the trick, spun around in time to see the jeep drive off. "Oops, busted." Prue mocked with another grin.

"Nice try." Lohman returned, dashing down the steps toward his car.

Prue narrowed her eyes and flicked her wrist at a garden tool that telekinetically flew through the air and punctured one of the tires of his car. The tire went flat and Lohman pulled to a hasty stop before spinning accusingly back to Prue. "You did that! I know you did that!"

"Really? Prove it." Prue challenged with a look that said just that.

Meanwhile down at the Storm Drains Piper, and Phoebe left Piper's jeep outside the storm drain entrance at the end of Verick Street and climbed down the ladder into the dark tunnels. Piper led the way and jumped off the last few rungs and landed in a puddle. She screwed her face up in disgust.

"Ew… I'm not wearing the right shoes for this." Piper complained, turning her gaze upwards where Phoebe was coming down.

"Which way?" Piper asked Phoebe.

Phoebe pulled out the map and quickly scanned over the area "Uh, light, light." She ordered lightly and Piper's flashlight swiveled over to illuminate the map. "The pipe junction is… that way." Phoebe pointed in the corresponding direction.

Brent Miller's House. Andy leaned against the door that led to the balcony, watching the waves of the ocean crash into the beach. Every now and then his gaze flickered over the empty room, mildly impatient to talk to Brent. After having heard his name in Prue's office and then investigated it, he had known the sisters were working on the kidnappings and he wanted to help them. He just had to find out where they were as Prue sure wouldn't tell him.

"Inspector Trudeau?" Brent called as he was led in by his service dog.

Andy was pulled from his thoughts and he eagerly approached Brent, shaking the other man's hand politely. "Yes, Mr. Miller." He announced his presence.

"My housekeeper said you wanted to talk to me. Is it about the kidnappings?" Brent asked.

"Maybe." Andy answered cryptically, taking a moment to figure out what was needed to know the most. "Has a Prue Halliwell come to talk to you by any chance?" Andy questioned curiously.

Brent shook his head. "No." He replied while Andy looked vaguely disappointed. "… But I have spoken to a Phoebe Halliwell." Brent continued.

Andy suddenly appeared very interested again. "Really?"

"I think I know where they went if you think that will help you." Brent offered helpfully.

Back at the Storm Drains. "Who knew anything could smell so bad." Piper muttered in disgust.

Phoebe pulled to a stop as she saw a sign on the wall. "Now that's a good sign." She commented.

"Meaning?"

"What premonition?" Piper demanded curiously.

"I saw it in a vision that I had of Brent. " Phoebe explained as Piper turned in another direction, preoccupied.

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Phoebe demanded as her sister seemed to be looking through the wall. "Down here!" Piper remarked as she led Phoebe down the tunnel "I can hear voices."

Piper's voice alerted the Grimlocks and the children of their presence.

At the Manor Prue was in the kitchen stirring the finished product of her potion that would kill the Grimlocks. "I feel like I should be cackling." She joked to herself, thinking of the many witches she had seen on television brewing potions. Her thoughts were Naruto suddenly entered the kitchen. "Naruto, I thought you had business to attend to."

"Change of plans, it was an ambush and my identity is blown. Demons I didn't recognize know who I am; they know I've been protecting you girls." A sour look overcame Prue's face, which didn't escape Naruto's notice. "What happened?"

"A reporter by the name of Lohman saw me using my powers. He's trying to blackmail me into a tell all story."

Naruto sharply inhaled, running his fingers through his hair. "We'll worry about him later. Right now we have to go help those children." Naruto remarked. "I talked with Phoebe earlier. They're at Verick Street." He took notice of the potion. "Is it ready?"

"Yes," she answered and grabbed the potions. She grabbed her jacket and placed it on, as Naruto wrapped his arm around her and they shushined to where the others were.

The Grimlocks had turned the corner and caught sight of Piper and Phoebe. They stopped and stared at the two sisters in mild surprise before recovering and using their aura sight on them. The oblivious sisters were clothed in a golden light and the Grimlocks reached their hands out and pulled at the aura, but nothing happened.

Suddenly they were attack. Sprouting claws, Piper slashed the eyes of one of the creatures causing it to tumble back with a deep moan of pain as Phoebe round house kick the other one into the wall. The creatures scrambled up and escape down the alleyway. The other Piper and Phoebe who were targeted merely faded from existence. "Man, that clone thing is useful, but exhausting." Phoebe moaned as she bent over and rested her hands on her knees. For some strange reasoning channeling chakra through Jutsu took a lot out of her.

"Come on, we can't let them get away!" Piper exclaimed as she dashed after the creatures with frightening speed.

"So not fair." Phoebe grumbled as she chased after her sister.

Meanwhile top side Andy parked his police car next to the jeep and Piper's car. He didn't even bother turning the blue and red emergency lights off as he ran for the open door to the storm drains. He easily recognized the cars already here and that meant the sisters were inside. Pulling out a flashlight and his gun, Andy walked cautiously, yet quickly, inside.

Not too far ahead Naruto and Prue began looking around. Suddenly two demons flamed into the room. The two of them reacted quickly; Prue using her telekinesis flung them back. Naruto letting kunai fly quickly followed up with Hirashin allowing him to plunge the kunai into the back of their necks before they could react. "It's as if they aren't even trying. What's going on?" he wondered.

"We'll worry about it later. Right now we need to save those kids." Prue reminded him when suddenly a voice pierced through the air.

"So what Lohman saw you do was true?"

"Andy!" Prue gasped and Naruto looked on, stunned. Why the hell was the policeman here? He then went over what he said. 'Lohman, that loud mouthed reporter,' Naruto thought with a sneer. He was definitely going to fix him.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"Confirming my suspicions." He said, paying Naruto only a glance. He knew something was up with the blond, now he know for sure he was involved with whatever this whole ordeal with Prue was.

"It's not safe here. Look, there are kids in danger and every second we waste here is time they're in danger. Please, wait for us on the surface."

"Then let me help Prue. I'm a police officer; this is what I'm trained for. "

"Not against these things. They're not human; these creatures aren't something you can handle with a gun and pair of handcuffs."

"Prue, I'm not leaving you…" he stubbornly argued.

"Do I have to use my powers on you?" she threatened just in time for the Grimlock that Piper stumbled upon the seen. Before anything else could be said Prue telekinetically flung one of potion bottles she made at the creature causing it to explode.

Andy's gaze flickered to the scorch mark on the sewer wall. "I'll meet you up on the street." He agreed, heading for the entrance.

"Naruto," Prue began with a look of plea.

"I'll make sure nothing happens to him." He readily agrees. "Just be careful," he cautioned her.

It didn't take long for Prue to find her sisters and the remaining demons. The potion worked without a hitch.

They pushed open a door into another section of the storm drain system and they split up to cover ground. "David?" Piper called.

"Help us!"

"We're down here!"

The sisters followed the voices and came across a fenced area holding several children. "David!" She recognized excitedly, but her smile faded when she took in his clouded eyes.

"Are they okay?" Phoebe asked.

Before either one of them could do anything, the Grimlock pulled at her aura, choking her. Prue dropped the potion and her hand flew to her neck before she dropped to her knees. "Prue!" Phoebe screamed, running forward and hitting the Grimlock over the head with her flashlight. The Grimlock turned his attention to Phoebe and began choking her instead. Before the demon could finish the job Piper scooped up the potion and flung it right into the Grimlocks face. He shrieked and disintegrated, freeing Phoebe from his choking grip. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah…"

"Come on, let's get these kids out of here." The sisters came upon the cage just as David's eyesight was restored.

"I can see! I can see you!" David exclaimed in excitement as the sisters smiled at each other. "I knew you had magic powers." The child went on.

Their smiles faded to a look of concern. "Oh…" Prue mumbled, biting her lip slightly. "Um, come on, let's get you all out of here." She ordered gently. She looked around and noticed there were only four children. "Isn't there five of you? Where is the other kid at?"

The children suddenly became quiet and sullen. The look on their faces told the sisters everything they needed to know.

At the San Francisco Police Department Andy came in with the four kids, Naruto and the Halliwell sisters with hardly an explanation. He was acting suspicious "Exactly how did you know the kids were down there again?" Darryl finally asked, stopping next to Andy's desk.

Andy suddenly appeared very interested in getting the file and paperwork taken care of and done. "Anonymous tip." He answered casually without a glance at Darryl.

"And what about the kidnappers?" Darryl wondered.

"Kidnappers? There weren't any kidnappers. Kids followed a kitten into the storm drains. Got lost." Andy explained forcing a hint of amusement into his tone.

Darryl nodded, obviously not believing a word of it. Though he didn't have any proof to prove the contrary. Darryl went along with it. He glanced around them to make sure no one was paying them any attention as he leaned against Andy's desk. "You know, this is yet another innocent with the Halliwells involved yet again. Do you really expect me that they just happened to be there? That it's just that simple?" Darryl lowered his voice to keep the question private.

Andy nodded slightly. "For now." He responded and Darryl nodded in understanding, both silently agreeing to just go with it until another time.

Darryl turned his attention to the lobby where he could just see the sisters and Naruto waiting against one of the walls. "In that case, you can tell the sisters they are allowed to leave." He decided, turning around and heading back to the break room.

Phoebe traversed through the crowded lobby of the station, trying to get to her sisters and Naruto. Her eyes lingered on the reunited mothers and sisters for their little boys and sons for a moment before joining the others. "Have they said anything?" Phoebe questioned nervously as she joined them in leaning against a desk.

"No, they just got back from the hospital, but who knows what they'll say once the police start questioning them." Prue groaned softly.

"So much for our secret." Phoebe lamented.

"I'm sure the mothers will just wave it off. That blonde and the other two are the witches I mentioned." He whispered to them. "I'm more than sure they'll help convince the others it's just the over reactive imagination of their children." Naruto assured them.

"About our little problem?" Prue asked, seconds later Lohman was being brought in by some police officers.

"You can't do this to me! Do you know who I am! I'll have your jobs for this!" he ranted as the sisters watched his retreating form.

"What did you do?" Prue immediately questioned Naruto, trying to keep the amusement out of her voice.

"Let's just say you weren't the first person he's illegally recorded or blackmailed. Bye, to his credibility and of course our two favorite cops got a search warrant and will make sure we don't have to worry about any secret spilling." He simply said as they were called in to give their statements. After that, Phoebe ran into Brent who had his sight restored as a result of the Grimlock s being vanquished. Despite everything that happened, the fact a child had been killed in relation to him plagued Naruto. What happened only emphasized the fact that several magical practitioners and witches were vulnerable and the sooner the coven was formed the better.
