After leaving Mitodori's hideout, Kakashi and Naruto escorted Kuriko to her village, but when they got there they were surprised to see what they found there, all the inhabitants were lying dead on the ground.
"It's terrible what happened here? Oh no Father, Mother!"
Kuriko ran towards their house, Kakashi tried to stop her, but the girl did not listen, after a few moments she managed to find her in one of the buildings, she was lying on the ground next to her parents' bodies, tears started to fall from her eyes.
"Dad, Mom!".
"What are we going to do Kakashi Nii-san now, can't we leave her there?" Naruto asked
"I guess we have no choice but to take her to the village"
When Kuriko wiped the tears from her eyes, they changed to red with black dots.
"Sharingan ?! She is some missing Uchiha?" Jounin thought surprised
"Hey Kuriko-chan, why don't you come to Konoha with us?" blondnyn suggested
"I ... I don't know if it's a good idea"
"It's gonna be fun, besides, changing places will help you cope with it"
The girl pondered the blonde's proposal for a moment, and finally made a decision.
"Okay"
"Tell Kuriko, did any of your parents come from Konoha?"
"My mother once mentioned that she was born in one of the great villages, but she did not say which one, right away"
Kuriko sparkled and ran to one of the rooms, after a few moments she came with a letter.
"I remember that my mother once wrote a letter to the Hokage, but she did not manage to send it"
"It's okay, we can pass it on to him"
Kakashi helped bury Kuriko's parents, and the three of them headed towards Konoha, which they reached a few hours later.
"Wow, this is what your village looks like?"
"Yes"
Soon they reached the office, after knocking on the door and receiving an invitation, they entered
"Naruto, luckily you are safe and sound, tell me what happened"
And so Naruto explained everything that had happened from the moment he was kidnapped.
"I see, so Mizuki had his fingers in it, I'm sorry that it must have happened to you"
"And who are you?"
"My name is Kuriko Uzaraki, this is a letter from my mother to you Hokage-sama"
Hiruzen took the girl's letter and began reading
'Hokage-Sama, you are probably wondering what is happening to me and why I am not showing you my life, I am explaining to you. It all started when you sent us on a B-rank mission, without any major problems we managed to find the culprit of all the fuss. A fight started between us, which was quite long and hard, but in the end I managed to defeat my opponent, but when I was about to return, the wounds suffered during the fight were so serious that they prevented me from moving further, I was forced to wait for my comrades who appeared an hour and a half later. Seeing that I could not move, they started to mock me and left me to their fate, it hurt me a lot. I was betrayed by my so-called accompanies. A few days later, fortunately for me, a young man passed by, and when he noticed me, he immediately took me to his village where he treated my wounds and gave me food, and offered me a stay in his village. He always helped me when I needed something, with time we fell in love and I decided to stay in this village, I don't care if you consider me a runaway ninja or not, but I found a place where I feel happy and I would like to stay here, I am writing this because I feel that you deserve words of explanation. Hitomi Uzaraki! "
"So I get it, and I was wondering what happened to her"
"When we tried to escort Kuriko to her village, it turned out that all the inhabitants were dead, possibly by Mitodori's people." Kakashi said
"So that's it"
"Who is all this Mitodori, I just understand that he has something to do with my father?" Naruto asked
"Mitodori and Minato used to belong to the same team, but the former was very jealous of your father's talent, repeatedly challenged him to a duel and each time he lost, when he heard that Minato would become Hokage he decided to leave the village, he probably could not stand his a rival ruled him, "explained Hiruzen
"I understand"
"As for you Kuriko, I will talk to a few Uchiha families who may want to take you in"
"Hokage-sama, if that's not a problem I'd like to stay with Naruto"
The Hokage smiled, nodding his head.
"Well, I think if he risked his life to save you, it would be better this way, but Naruto you have to go to the hospital"
"What why?"
"You suffered serious wounds, then you will stay there for a few days, and if I hear that you have escaped, I will forbid Teuchi to sell Ramen for a month"
"What, you can't do that!"
"I am Hokage my boy and I can do many things"
Naruto decided to listen to Hiruzen, Kakashi took him to the hospital and led Kuriko to mixing the blonde.
"So this is where Naruto lives, if I can ask where are his parents?"
"Well they died two years ago, Naruto has lived here alone since then"
"I understand"
"I think the two of you will be able to get along very well," Kakashi said with a smile
