'Well it surely seems fitting for a 'Royal City'.'

Naruto gazed at the city's walls, still far in the horizon. At the pace in which he was, it would take only a few hours to reach Crocus, yet he was in no rush.

Apart from the occasional vulcan and lizardmen, the trip had been relatively uneventful for the three travelers, Naruto had chosen a straight path that avoided most cities along the way by going through a series of low forests, woodland areas and plateaus.

The people of Earthland couldn't see him unless he allowed them to, his powers were so great that their minds completely ignored him like they would ignore a tree or a pebble. He could pass by them butt-naked and wiggle his member in front of their faces and they still wouldn't notice him unless he allowed them to.

He had noticed when a merchant passerby crossed paths with him and the two, only noticing the kids at first until he called out for the man's attention.

Similar things would happen in the Elementals, his chakra was so great that the only way for him to be sensed was for the person to be around his level, an extremely good sensor or himself allow, and when those that weren't around his level tried to sense him and succeeded, normally ended up in a coma or insane.

Due to the sheer size of his reserves coped with the fact that the majority of it was identical to the energy that Nature radiated. They could see him, and could spot him among a crowd, but not process him.

Unlike the people of his own realm, those from Earthland were completely incapable of registering his presence unless he desired them to, something that he was doing subconsciously when he had arrived and when he invaded the Bureau.

It was actually quite pleasing, walking around unnoticed, as if he were under the effect of an invisibility jutsu. The only problem so far was that , if he passed by a city with the siblings, it was possible that the guards could mistake them for lost children walking alone.

Said children didn't talk much through it all, during the first day they fired a volley of questions, if he knew their father, why he had horns, if he was blind, where he came from and and things of the sort. They were good kids, the Bureau and it's wretched scientists had done a number on them, but they were all good kids.

But there was a problem...

They were so much like his own... The resemblance that they held to them was so much that it was painful.

He was proud of his children and grandchildren, they were his pride, he loved them dearly, but unfortunately life wasn't simple. They grew up like any normal person, gained their own families and forgot the decrepit old couple that lived in that one small cottage in the woods.

Like any parent, he was happy that they made their own families and lived their own lives, but stopping by once every two months wouldn't kill them, if not for him, then for Hinata!

He could look past the fact that they saw him as an overpowered geezer with 'Too much chakra in his hands' and 'We could put it to better use', but for fucks sake, couldn't they see what they were doing to her, that behind the smile that always said 'It's okay, I know you were busy' was a mixture of sadness, loneliness and other corrosive emotions.

And the worst of it was the guilt, the guilt of feeling sad in the first place, the feeling of being 'selfish' for wanting to be with them and that it wasn't in her place to desire their attention.

But all those things were gone, buried in his past. He couldn't allow his past problems interfere with his new life.

Now he was in a whole new dimension with a new family, a new home. A place to go back to, with people that actually awaited his return.

The thought that one day time would also take them away was something that hammered his mind constantly during the month.

Time was a cruel thing, it took his friends, took his family and a small part of his soul along with every single one of them. It couldn't take him, but it did a very good job in taking everything else.

The only thing that remained throughout his life was his name, his passion for ramen and Kaguya... Even if she hadn't said a single word through the years that she spent inside of him, she was still the only person that remained.

He would visit her twice a week to get started on their cooking lessons, which somehow ended up turning into chakra control lessons.

It seemed that Kaguya, the mother of all chakra, could not create a small fire to boil an egg. All attempts resulted in the egg, the water and the pan being evaporated... She was completely incapable of creating anything small that required control. Everything that she did would overload with chakra, it was the reason all of her jutsu's were classified as Kekkei Mora.

He still remembered the first day of her lessons...


(Flashback)


'This might take longer than I thought...' Thought Naruto as Kaguya overheated the frying pan causing a massive fire to come from her hands and burn the egg... along with the pan.

A day had passed since he had left Ur's house and the two of them were now in the start of her 'cooking lessons' as part of their deal, for her to help him perfect the cake then she needed to learn how to cook to understand what needs to be done instead of simply suggesting what is wrong.

And there laid the problem, as a princess-turned goddess she had below zero experience in cooking. During her mortal life she had never learnt how to cook and after she ate the fruit she stopped needing to eat.

Thus far not many results had been achieved, any and all attempts at cooking had resulted in a pile of ash and dust, something that only served to further irritate the goddess while amusing Naruto, who had already anticipated the turn-out.

Experience in dealing with princesses, feudal lords and queens had taught him that most if not all of them had very little knowledge about cooking.

''Okay! I think I can see the problem. You are using too much heat, I guess that you will have to learn how to control fire before we continue.'' Naruto stated the obvious while getting up from his spot a few meters away from her.

''I already know how to control fire! It is not my fault that these materials are not strong enough...'' She snarled while turning away from him.

'The pan is purely made of chakra... My chakra... I dare not imagine how hot those flames are now that I see the results...' Naruto thought while a bead of sweat started to form behind his head, '...Yet something isn't right... Her control seemed fine during the war... Then again her techniques were all extremely overpowered to begin with...'

While her tone contained a lot of restrained anger and showed how frustrated she was becoming, Naruto was still left unaffected by it. During the short time that he had spent trying to teach her, he had come to discover several different sides of hers and how much of a colorful tongue she had despite her nobility.

''Sure... As you can see, cooking is a delicate art, you will need to learn how to better control yourself or the same thing will continue to happen over and over again.''

True to that, they were currently on the 24th burned pan. The first few tries had resulted in some explosions that even he had thought to be impossible, it turned out that Kaguya Otsutsuki had below zero skills in cooking and that she was just as determined as he was when it came to learning something, at least now he knew where the Uzumaki had gotten a part of their famous undying will.

One of the things that he had also noticed was that for one reason or another, she seemed greatly disturbed about something, it was hard to tell even for him as she hardly showed any emotions whatsoever, even to him who was an expert empathy sensor, but the feeling that something was wrong was still there, he also found it abnormal for her control to be that bad, clearly there was something happening.

Giving a huff, Kaguya crossed her arms and pouted? Yep she pouted and Naruto made sure to memorize the extremely rare sighting as he would probably not see it again in some time.

''Enough! It may not be today, but I will conquer the art of cooking eggs, and later the world!'' She said dramatically, a sweatdrop forming behind Naruto's head from the sudden change of behavior.

'Maybe this isn't a good idea...' He thought to himself while scratching the back of his head, but a small part of himself was actually happy, it was a big change from how she was before he had managed to catch her attention and millions of times better than when she was trying to rip the chakra out of him while enslaving the world and transforming all of its inhabitants into a mindless army of white Zetsu... Yeah... Much better.

''I guess this is enough for today, tomorrow we will start a new training so that you can control yourself better...'' Naruto said, fading away from the mindscape.


(Flashback end)


From that day onward, they focused on her control. They were still far from considering each other friends, but at least she wasn't ignoring him or trying to kill him.

Sometimes throughout their time, he would gain an impression that she was truly angry or irritated with something, it was very subtle but he could see it, never could really pinpoint what it was but he knew that something apart from her being sealed inside him was bothering her.

Even then, he had to keep trying, she was a fellow immortal, somebody that would exist for as much time as himself, another person that carried the same burden that he did, he just couldn't give up on her.

Snapping out of his thoughts regarding his 'apprentice', he settled his gaze ahead, to the gates of Crocus, the royal city. He had finally arrived, and with two day's to spare.

The two siblings were currently in one of his dimensions with a clone. With him being incapable of being seen, upon entering the two would be seen as if they were alone and if he remembered correctly, the last town was at least five kilometers away, if the two were seen without an adult then it would bring suspicion about what they were doing there, which could lead to them being taken by the guards, marked as 'lost' children and have their data crossed. The situation would only go downhill from there once they find out that two kids that were registered as dead in a hospital that was destroyed by two stray meteors that happened to be wandering around and stack on top of the only structure in the desert...

''Well... I better get this done with.'' He said to himself, walking towards the gates, the knights none the wiser of his approach.

It was strange, really. Given his stature he should attract attention like a chocolate bar in a swimming pool, yet unless he desired so, he could freely pass by without being noticed, the Rune Knights none the wiser.

Easily walking in, he took his time to admire the internal structure of the city, it was truly beautiful and well designed, unfortunately it was just as extensive, finding the duke could turn out to be more of a chore than he thought.

Glancing around and analyzing the local structures, he spotted a newspaper store among a row of food stalls.

Stopping in front of the store, he blinked a few times upon noticing the front of a very familiar orange book in a poster

Weekly Highlight! Make-Out Paradise! An innovating…

The poster seemed to go on and on about the newest piece of art in the market.

'So this is what he meant with a surprise...' Naruto thought, remembering when the clone had come in contact with him, 'I can't say that I wasn't expecting this...'

Resisting the urge to groan, he shifted his attention from the poster to the store clerk, a short, elderly man around his 60s, who was sitting on a chair with his legs on top of the counter, that one particular orange book in his hands,

'Some things never change... Perverts are everywhere' Naruto thought, rinne-sharingan eye opening.

''Excuse me sir, would you happen to know where I can find Raizen Belenos, the duke?'' Naruto questioned, catching the elderly man's attention who nearly fell out of his chair in surprise, yet his surprise didn't last long, as the moment they met with Naruto's, they became blank.

''Rose avenue, a large white mansion in the left side, number 138.'' Answered the man in a monotone voice, pointing in a direction to Naruto's right.

''Ah, thank you sir. Have a nice day'' Naruto replied, giving a short bow and leaving the store, the elder returning to normal as his rinne-sharingan closed.

It wasn't uncommon for him to resort to those methods, he was aware of how strange he looked, he didn't want to cause a commotion.

There were simply too many unknown factors that he had to deal with, he couldn't afford to be careless and leave room for mistakes. He was practically alone and any mistake could bring danger to the few that he knew.

Whether he liked it or not, he was an 'invader' in the world, a creature not meant to exist. Infiltrating a different country was an extremely difficult process, infiltrating a different dimension was even harder, it required funds, contacts, a network, way of identification, a way to gather information, help from the population and most of all, patience.

Overall it required the work of a very large and specialized team. A team that he didn't have when he arrived, all that he had was himself and Ur, and he couldn't count on her to help him in those things, she had her own problems to deal with. Which left him to make his own team, since all that he could trust was himself, then all that he would need would be himself.

Governments were extremely cautious when it came to threats, his own village was the best example of that. If an extremely powerful, horned man like himself were to attract attention, they would want to 'mark' it and have it under their thumbs, it was what would have been done in the Elementals and what was done in his village with the jinchuuriki. So none of them could have been made by his image, multiple copies of himself would only bring unnecessary attention.

Lastly, they all needed to be resistant. Infiltrating required time and patience, a single step could bring down the end of years of operation, it was unknown for how long they would need to last. The results of them dispelling in the wrong time could be catastrophic, everything could be put to a loss for a single mistake, that he couldn't afford to make.

Which led him to create them, using the same method that the sage used to create the bijuu, he created them from his chakra. Loyal, adaptive, easy to contact and most important, reliable. Something that took years of research and time studying how the bijuu reformed, to attain, but eventually he found a way to recreate it.

Finally after around thirty minutes of walking, he reached the mansion of number 138. A very large, white mansion, a few signs that indicated that it was being treated by, though not very frequent.

'The lawn was done a week ago, the leaves indicate that it has been at least three days since it has been swept... Given the size it would take a large amount of maids to maintain this place completely clean...' Naruto thought, analyzing the entrance.

Going over to the gate, he pressed a button on it's side, ringing a few interior bells inside the structure. From deep inside the mansion, a feminine shout of 'In a moment!' was heard, making Naruto chuckle lightly under his breath.

After a seconds of waiting, the door creaked open and a young woman in her mid twenties with long black hair cut hime-style came out, dressed with a long, traditional, black skirt with white hems and a black apron, all appointing to her status and position in the house as a maid, however what most stood out in her was the red and silver katana strapped to her waist.

The woman glanced around with a stern face and grumbled something under her before turning around to go back inside, though as she went to go in, a voice called out to her from behind the gates and made her stop dead in her tracks.

Quickly turning around, she was greeted by a smiling Naruto.

''I wouldn't do that if I were you.'' He said, as her hand went to her katana.

''Why not?'' She asked, straightening herself up and analyzing him.

''Because I didn't really came here for trouble, I just came here to speak with the duke, is he home?'' He asked, tilting his head to the side as if 'peeking' over her shoulder.

''My master is not seeing anybody today, if you wish to speak with him then set up an appointment.'' She replied coldly with a stern voice.

Naruto whistled in amusement and chuckled, ''Stingy, aren't you? It would be of his best interest that he does, I got news about his supposedly dead children, this is them right?'' He asked while pulling two folders from his kimono and tossing it to the maid.

Said maid's eyes narrowed even further in suspicion at the mention of the two and picked up the folders.

''You don't mind if I come in right? Don't think this is the place to talk about such delicate matters.'' Naruto continued, simply walking through the bars of the gate as if his body were made of liquid and making his way inside the house, the Truth-Seeking Balls passing above.

''Don't take another step.'' He heard from behind, the door closing with an audible 'click'. Given his omnidirectional view, he was not surprised when the maid drew her sword and placed the tip of it on the center of his back.

It was amusing to say the least, he could tell that the sword was made of a high quality material, though as good as it could be, it was still very far from being capable of cutting through his kimono. The maid however, was completely clueless of how close she was to her own demise, as she was horribly close to one of his Truth-Seeking Balls.

''These files came from the Bureau and it was destroyed by two meteors. How did you come across these?'' She asked with a certain edge in her voice.

''Miss, you are making my life difficult. I got things to do... Ah, there he is! You must be Raizen.'' Naruto said as a male silhouette appeared in the staircase, completely ignoring the maid who still had her sword pressed against his back.

''Indeed I am. I'm afraid he hadn't, otherwise I'm sure I would remember someone like yourself... Diana, it's okay, could you please check if Amelia is done with Lunch, I'm getting hungry.'' He said in a very eloquent way. His entire posture seemed to scream 'Aristocrat' despite his attire being of casual blue shorts and a white sleeveless shirt.

His appearance was very laid back, his beard was unshaven and his long, spiky, black hair seemed as if they haven't seen a blade in years.

''My apologies, master. I will be on my way.'' She replied, giving a bow and leaving the living room, not before placing the folders that Naruto had given to her on top of a wooden table next to the staircase.

''She's a good servant, a bit rough, but good nonetheless... Name's Naruto, and you are right, this is the first time we meet.'' Naruto said while Raizen made his way down the staircase.

Raizen nodded and took the folders from the table once he came down, ''To what do I owe this visit? Or did you come here just to remind me about my two dead children.''

The way his eyes dulled slightly, certainly didn't go unnoticed by Naruto, "Oh no, of course not. On the contrary, I came with good news.''

''How could there be good news? They are dead, there is no good news.'' Replied Raizen with a certain edge in his voice, his eyes narrowing considerably.

Ignoring him, Naruto hummed softly and sat on a sofa, ''Were they dead then there really wouldn't be any good news, yet that isn't the case.''

Raizen however didn't take the news well and grabbed Naruto by the collar of his kimono,''That is impossible! They are dead! The Bureau said it so themselves, they showed m-''

''They showed you pictures, right?'' Naruto interrupted, removing the man's hands from him,''I figured as much. Your sons were never dead, they would be now if I hadn't went there, but they aren't. The Bureau did the same to the daughter of someone very dear to me, when she told me I became suspicious and went to see for myself what they do... When I arrived I found out that they were experimenting on the children because they had large reserves, so I took which ones were still alive and brought judgment upon them.''

Naruto's words shocked Raizen to the core, creating a turmoil of emotions inside of him, among them was surprise and happiness for them being alive, hate for being fooled, remorse for allowing himself to be manipulated and a mixture of shock and fear that the thing in front of him was that dropped two meteors on top of the structure.

''How could they... I trusted them...'' Raizen muttered, eyes wide in shock, ''To how many people did they do this too? Where are they? You said that you took them, where are they?! I must see them!''

''In order as to what you said, the answers are: Humanities thirst for power and knowledge; they are good at fooling; I didn't count the files of every child in there so I don't know; They are in one of my dimensions; Sure, as soon as you calm down and give me some space.'' Naruto replied with a chuckle, answering his many questions.

Realizing how he was, Raizen backed off and took a few calming breaths, ''Right, where are my manners. My apologies.''

''Don't worry about it, were I in your place I also would have a hard time controlling myself...'' Naruto said, waving him off.

Taking a deep breath, his Rinne-Sharingan opened and the tomoes started to spin, the now newly arrived maids watched in wonder along with their master as the space in front of Naruto distorted and the two children shimmered into existence, both looking around in curiosity at suddenly being summoned.

Raizen and the maids could hardly believe their eyes, his two children were right there, they were a bit taller and had longer hair, but it was definitely them, he recognized those eyes anywhere.

Kali and Mitra stood in shock when they came to realize where they were and who was in front of them, silent tears streaming down both of their faces.

''Papa?'' Mitra asked, swallowing a lump in his throat.

Slowly bending forward to the two, Raizen brought his hands to either of their cheeks, a part of him still afraid that it was a cruel illusion or a dream.

Upon feeling the smoothness of their skin and the wetness of their tears, he failed to contain himself and engulfed them both in a very tight hug.

Naruto smiled, he could somehow relate to what the man felt, were it his sons and daughters, then he would split the land rain amaterasu on those that took them.

''I guess I should get going. The trip was fun, brats.'' he said, with a smile while turning around and getting ready to leave.

''Wait!'' Raizen called out, making Naruto stop, ''You going already? No, no, please stay for lunch, I insist. Diana, Amelia, prepare something special for lunch, today is a happy day!"

Raizen said with enthusiasm, the two maids nodding and happily skipping away to do their chores, no doubt happy with the sudden turn of events.

''Yeah, stay a bit longer.'' Mitra pleaded

''I don't know, you guys should enjoy yourselves and I have things to do.'' Naruto replied with a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his head. It was true though, he never really was good at dealing with things of the sort.

''Nonsense! You brought them here, so please, join us for lunch. Amelia's cooking is the best and she's already making food for all of us, so just stay, you won't regret it. Besides, we got plenty of things to discuss about.''

Sighing, Naruto nodded in defeat. It wouldn't do much harm to stay for a bit and they did have to discuss some things.


(Later)


''Thank you very much for everything Naruto-dono, there aren't words to express my gratitude for bringing back my kids, so I want you to have this.'' Raizen said to Naruto, two golden, magical circles appearing briefly above his right hand, leaving a large black tome, in its cover was a cloaked woman with several orbs floating around her.

Right now the two were in the living room, Raizen had asked the maids to show the kids the house so that he could talk with Naruto in private.

''This is a family relic, an ancestor of mine made, an extremely powerful magician. He traveled the world learning and recording every type of magic that he saw, his own magic was said to be time magic and archive. The spells registered inside of it are very complex and the book itself doesn't help much in learning. I only managed to learn a small fragment of it. Hopefully you can put it to better use.''

''I don't think I can accept something so valuable, it is like you say, this is a family relic, maybe one of the two can learn from it. I did what I did because it was the right thing to do, knowing that I did good is already a reward to me.'' Naruto replied honestly.

Raizen however shook his head and insisted, pressing the book against Naruto, ''Please, take it, I want you to keep it as a way to demonstrate my gratitude for what you have done for us. No other thing in my possession could better demonstrate how grateful I am. Besides, my ancestor wouldn't have wanted it to simply sit in a stand, gathering dust.

Seeing how he wouldn't back down, Naruto took it. The amount of Ethernano that contained was incredible, the sheer size and magnitude made Ur's reserves seem like a small puddle in contrast to a lake.

''Ah, that reaction, it seems that you noticed. As expected of somebody of your caliber,'' Chuckled Raizen once he noticed the very brief change of expression on Naruto's face, ''It is a sentient, has a mind of its own. My ancestor spent so much time recording magics onto it, that it became a living being and a rather snobby one, never really talks with anybody, but we know it listens. There are centuries of accumulated magic on it, legend says that it predates the time of the Black Wizard Zeref and the dragons, yet despite how much it contains, it is extremely good in masking it, I'm impressed that you noticed.''

Naruto nodded, saying that it was good would be an understatement, even with his eyes he only managed to sense it once he touched it, ''It is incredible, thank you very much, Raizen. I will make sure to treat this as one of my most valuable treasures.''

''Please do, and don't be a stranger, feel free to stop by as you wish, you are always welcome here... Before you leave the city, there is one last favor that I would like to ask: A dear friend of mine, the queen, has been very ill since she gave birth to the princess. The doctors say that she doesn't have much time, and try to delay it till they find a cure, but time is running out and they are having no success. The king made a calling for all of the mages of the continent, but none seem to be capable of helping her. She and the king were very supportive to me when my wife died and they were declared missing, it may be too much to ask, but can you, please.''

Raizen begged, getting on his knees, only to stop when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

''Don't bow, it is unfitting of a person like you. I will see what I can do for your friend... I guess I should get going now...'' Naruto said to himself, but stopped when the newly arrived children tackled his waist.

''You're already, uncle? Can't you stay a bit longer?'' Asked Mitra, tears building up on the corner of both his and his sister's eyes.

Naruto took them both up into his arms and brought them into a hug, ''Yeah, I got to go now. 'uncle' has stuff to do, ya know? Besides, this isn't 'Good-bye' this is only a 'See you soon'. I promise to stop by sooner or later, to visit you guys.''

''Promise?'' Asked Kali softly, speaking for the first time in the day.

''Yeah, I promise. So long as you don't cause too much trouble for your father and the maids. If you two behave, then sure, I will stop by.'' he finished with a chuckle, placing them both in the ground.

After he placed the two on the ground, the black haired woman, Diana, took a step forward and bowed, ''I apologize for my earlier behavior, Lord Naruto. I acted with haste and my attitude was unnecessary. Please forgive me.''

''It's okay, Diana. I understand, given my appearance, it is comprehensible to act defensively. I was more worried about you accidentally bumping into one my Truth-Seeking Balls than with you actually harming me. These orbs can be quite dangerous.'' He said while pointing to one of the orbs floating around his back.

The people of the household had all wondered what those orbs really were, but after the information they decided to just file it out on their 'Don't touch' list.

''I'll be going now, take care.'' Naruto said, waving them goodbye and vanishing in thin air.


(With Kakashi and Gai)


''Hello my youthful friend! After all this time, we finally meet again!'' Shouted Gai to his partner, Kakashi, giving the usual Nice Guy pose.

'Not enough time, unfortunately...' Kakashi thought, until a hidden smirk came up from underneath his mask.

''Huh? Oh, hey Gai, you say something?'' He asked, tilting his head to Gai.

''Aahh! Kakashi! You and your hip attitude!'' Gai yelled dramatically, drawing the attention of the people around.

''Be quiet Gai, we are in a park. You are scaring the people.'' Kakashi replied, making Gai look around to see that people were indeed staring, whispering things to each other and leaving.

''Anyways, Gai... How was the tournament?'' Kakashi asked, gesturing for him to take a seat next to him, on the same bench that he was on.

Gai complied and sat next to him, ''It was incredible Kakashi! All of the contestants shined brightly with the power of Youth! Unfortunately they didn't last long against my flames, they still fought youthfully.''

Kakashi nodded, mentally translating what he said, ''Good, I'm just about done here as well. This town was having a wyvern problem, I already took care of it. The job was considered an S-rank mission of 5 million jewels. The mayor at first was skeptical about me doing it alone and my status as a mage due to my lack of guild. He changed his mind once I brought the alpha's head.''

It was common for people to doubt their work, their lack of guild was becoming a recurring problem for not only them, but the other clones as well. Besides being tougher to find missions, guildless mages normally had less trust placed upon them in comparison to those in guilds with prestigious names, that combined with the fact that unlike some members of the Ten Wizard Saints, they were only now becoming known.

In compensation for the troubles, independent mages normally kept a larger amount of money from the missions due to not paying tributes to guilds.

''5 million?! Wow! The Mayor sure is youthful, I would like to meet him before we go, it is so much compared to the 200 thousand that I made in the tournament. Your flames of youth are indeed shining brightly, my friend! I will work harder to make even more!''

While it would be good if Gai did in fact work hard to get money, Kakashi mentally cursed, 'Shit! I can't have him meet the Mayor, if those two meet, the world is DOOMED!' He thought dramatically, no way in hell would he allow Gai to meet the Mayor, a man of over 6 ft height that dressed like a 'Mahou Shoujo' as he liked to call it.

''That won't be necessary, Gai... He said that it was the right price for getting rid of an entire cave filled with them... Besides, he is a busy man, we best not disturb him.'' Kakashi said smoothly, while in his mind he chanted 'Please buy it!' repeatedly.

Thankfully for him, and the rest of the human race, Gai nodded in agreement, ''You must be right, my youthful partner.''

At that moment, in the park, a large shadow loomed over and small drops of rain started to fall upon them.

'Rain?' Thought Kakashi, both his eyes turning blood red with three tomoes on each.

With his Sharingan he could see that it was made of Ethernano, just like the one he had seen when he entered the town.

''Ah, look Kakashi, it's a little girl.'' Whispered Gai, nudging his partner and pointing to where a little, blue haired girl was coming from.

Shifting his attention to where his partner nudged him to, he found that the girl was indeed the source of the rain, he also noticed how little of kids remained, left with her arrival, leaving only the three.

As the girl approached, the rain intensified, with her in the center, uncaring of how her clothes became drenched with the cold liquid. Kakashi and Gai also didn't seem to care and only watched as the girl sat on the playground and started to play with her doll, alone.
