Hey. Please give me some reviews. I know I'm posting a bit fast, and even though I have most things planned out, I still like to see some ideas, and I need feedback. I can only do so much alone guys.

C.Rinkuki Takato, I'm actually focusing on this story more and 'ignoring' my other story. Plus the ideas are coming very quickly for me, so I try to write as much as I can... I'm also typing on my phone, the app, so its quite handy since I can work on it whenever and wherever I want.. I feel you when it comes to slow updates. And to the Underworld... I won't say much, but you're on the right track, according to what my outline is, though it might change. Just read on to find out.

And yeah, I wanted to changed the Acceleration a bit, since if I followed the Neo Accel fully, it's basically Hiraishin. Too OP imo.

Btw, expect some drama here. Let's go.

The girls looked at the scroll in surprise. Kirito already knew, but he feigned surprise to not let them know that he knew.

Hikari stared at the scroll, "My father... is the Yondaime Hokage?"

The others looked at her and saw that she was on the verge of tears. Asuna asked, "Hikari-chan?"

The girl slumped backwards, "He sealed the Kyuubi into me."

The girl looked at her family as the tears started to roll down her cheeks, "Why did he do it?"

Kirito quickly embraced her, placing her head into his chest as she started to cry harder. The blacksmith spoke, "Hikari-chan, he probably didn't have a choice. I'm sure he and your mother loved you."

Sinon then asked, "Wait, if Hikari-chan is the Yondaime Hokage's daughter, then shouldn't Hokage-sama or Kakashi-sensei know about it?"

Asuna nodded, "It'd make sense. I mean that's probably why Hokage-sama looked after her, and by extension, us so much."

Suguha then asked, "But then why didn't he told her? And why didn't Kakashi-sensei told her?"

Hikari nodded in Kirito's chest. The blacksmith shook his head, "If they told Hikari-chan, if by any chance word got out, her parents' enemies would have come for her life."

Hikari then realized something, she pulled away from Kirito's embrace and asked, "Kirito-kun, you asked Kakashi-sensei to teach me the Rasengan and the Chidori. You knew?"

Kirito's eyes widened slightly, "Hikari-chan, it's not that-"

He was cut off by the blonde, "Answer me."

Kirito sighed and nodded, "Yes, I kne-"

He was cut off by a hard slap from the blonde. Hikari glared at the young man, "You knew. Why didn't you tell me?"

Kirito looked down, "I'm sorry, Hikari-chan, Kayaba-sensei told me not to tell you, it was an S-ranked secret."

Hikari asked again, "How long?"

Kirito blinked, "What?"

The girl repeated, "When did you find out?"

Kirito stayed silent. Hikari glared at him straight in the eye, "Tell me, how long did you know that I was the daughter of the fucking Yondaime Hokage?"

Kirito replied, "Kayaba-sensei told me that day I first fought Sasuke in the academy."

Hikari stared at her boyfriend coldly, "So you knew a long time ago. You, Hokage-sama, Kakashi-sensei, all of you knew, and you lied to me."

She clenched her fists and stood up, walking to the door, "I really hate you right now."

Hikari walked out and slammed the door shut. Kirito sighed, "I messed up."

Sinon nodded as she glared at him, "Yes you did, what were you thinking?"

Kirito sighed, "When I heard it from Kayaba-sensei, I wanted to tell her. But, if I told her, if her parents' enemies knew, and we couldn't protect her, I didn't want to take the risk."

Asuna sighed, "Kirito-kun, you know that we are all orphans, it means a lot to know about our parents. Hikari-chan loves you, but hiding who her parents were, that is taking it too far."

Kirito nodded, "I know. I don't know what to do anymore."

Suguha sighed, "Let her calm down now. In her current state of emotions, nothing you say will reach her. Once she calms down, make up to her."

Sinon nodded, "Yeah."

Kirito sighed, "I just hope so."

With Hikari, the girl laid on top of the Hokage Monument, tears running down her cheeks as she stared up in the night sky. The blonde loved the blacksmith, the girl trusted him a lot, saying that she trusted him with her life wouldn't be exaggerating. She would die for him.

But Kirito lied to her, he hid her parents' identity from her, and that broke her heart. The girl just laid there as she continued to cry.

Then, a familiar voice reached her. Yugao asked, "Hikari, what's wrong?"

The girl opened her eyes and saw the purple haired woman looking at her. The blonde asked, "Yugao-sensei?"

Yugao nodded, "I was talking a night walk after dinner, since Hayate-kun had work. Then I saw you here, what happened?"

The last Uzumaki sat up and hugged her legs, "I found out about my father."

Yugao blinked, "Your father?"

Hikari nodded, "He was the Yondaime Hokage."

Yugao snapped her head at the girl, "Are you serious?!"

The girl nodded, "It was in the clan scroll. Hokage-sama knew, Kakashi-sensei knew, Kirito-kun knew. But all of them didn't tell me."

Yugao sat down beside her, "So, what's got you crying? Shouldn't you be happy?"

Hikari shook her head, "I don't know. Why did my father seal the Kyuubi into me? I seriously don't know. Hokage-sama and Kirito-kun also hid it from me, Kakashi-sensei I don't really care, since I only met him when I became a Gennin, so maybe he thought I knew or something."

The girl hugged her legs closer, "But, Hokage-sama and Kirito-kun, I've known them for so long, yet..."

More tears flowed as she sat there. Yugao sighed, "You feel betrayed, don't you?"

Hikari nodded, "Hokage-sama is like a grand-father to me, and I really love Kirito-kun. But now, I don't know. Yugao-sensei, what should I do?"

Yugao stared at the village, "I don't know. But let me tell you a story, Hikari."

Hikari stared at the swordswoman curiously, "A story?"

Yugao let out a breath, "I have a friend. She was the apprentice of Orochimaru, the Snake Sannin."

Hikari blinked, "Isn't Orochimaru a traitor?"

Yugao nodded, "Yes, before he betrayed the village, my friend was his apprentice. Everyone envied her, calling her the Snake Princess, they thought it was an honor to learn under him."

The woman sighed, "Then Orochimaru betrayed the village and left. My friend was captured by him and he did some experiments on her. When we found her, she was heart-broken."

Yugao looked up into the sky, "My friend was an orphan, much like you. She saw Orochimaru as a father. But then he betrayed everyone. Now, you may not know, but my friend is one of the most hated person in the village. All because Orochimaru betrayed the village."

Hikari nodded, "I see. Then, I guess I am the same."

Yugao shook her head, "Not really. Tell me, Hikari, do you think Kirito loves you for who you are, or because you are the Jinchurikii of the Kyuubi and the daughter of the Yondaime Hokage?"

Hikari looked down at the night view of the village, "I don't know."

Yugao nodded, "Then let's look at it another way, look back on what Kirito has done for you, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha."

Hikari stayed silent as Yugao continued, "I know he has worked very hard for all of you. He would lay down his life for you, for any of the four of you. But men aren't perfect, no matter how they seem, just like we aren't perfect. We all make mistakes."

Hikari stared at the village, "But..."

Yugao sighed, "I'm not telling you to forgive him now. But, I want you to think about why he did it, from his perspective. Then only judge him."

Hikari nodded, "Fine. And umm, Yugao-sensei, I don't want to see him now, can you stay with me here for a while?"

The woman smiled kindly, "Of course."

The two then sat there, watching the view of the night streets of Konohagakure. Soon, the blonde girl fell alseep and leaned against Yugao.

The woman let out a sigh and carefully picked her up to bring her home. As she walked, Yugao's eyes widened as she heard Hikari mumble in her sleep, tears flowing from her closed eyes, "Kirito-kun..."

Yugao sighed, "Damn teenagers."

The woman then quickly brought her to her apartment. When she reached the door, Yugao knocked on it. It opened to reveal Kirito's worried face.

The blacksmith spoke in surprise, "Yugao-san? Is Hikari-chan?"

Yugao nodded, "She's asleep."

The teen quickly let the woman in as they laid Hikari in her room. Yugao sat down on the sofa as Kirito gave her a glass of water.

Yugao asked, "Are the others asleep?"

Kirito nodded. Yugao sighed, "You're an idiot."

The young man nodded, "I know."

The woman stared at the teen, "I'm not saying you should have told her, nor am I agreeing that you did the right thing hiding it. But, Hikari is really hurt."

Kirito nodded. The woman sighed, "You're young, its okay to make mistakes. Learn from them, improve to never make that mistake again. That's life."

The blacksmith nodded, "I know."

Yugao then looked at him, "Why did you hide it? You and I know, you would do anything for her, for them."

Kirito felt ashamed, "When Kayaba-sensei told me, I wanted to tell her. I kept it a secret for the first few days, then I thought, what if I told her, and if someone, if her parents' enemies find out, they come to kill her, and I'm not strong enough."

Yugao nodded, "You thought it'd be better to hide it. To tell her when she was ready."

Kirito nodded. The woman sighed, "A stupid idea."

The teen nodded, "I know."

Yugao then stared at the teen, "But not unreasonable."

Kirito stared at the woman in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Yugao replied, "From your perspective, you were afraid of losing her. After what the villagers put her through, you wouldn't trust it to protect her. You weren't strong enough then too. I wouldn't blame you for thinking like that."

Yugao then continued, "But, for Hokage-sama and Kakashi-senpai, they are even worse. They have the power to protect her. They believe in the village, but they still refused to tell her. They merely thought Hikari couldn't keep her mouth shut and spread it like wildfire. They didn't want to endanger the village, or at least that's what I think."

Kirito nodded. Yugao patted his shoulder, "Well, don't worry too much. Its gonna be fine. Hikari understands that you love her, that you love them. Get some sleep."

Kirito nodded, "Thank you, Yugao-san."

The woman smiled, "Hey, I do have a boyfriend, who is sometimes an idiot as well."

Kirito smiled slightly as the woman left the apartment. The teen sighed as he closed the door before he went to sleep as well.

The next day, Kirito went to his shop early when the girls were still sleeping. The teen didn't forge anything, the shop was loaded and unless someone wanted a custom made weapon or maintenance, he wouldn't need to touch the forge. Besides, he didn't have the mood to do anything.

Back at the apartment, Hikari opened her eyes to see the familiar ceiling in her room. The scrolls they found from the island was on her desk so she just left it there.

The girl walked out of the room and went to brush her teeth and clean up. As she exited the bathroom, she saw Asuna. The auburn haired girl asked, "Hikari-chan, how are you feeling?"

Hikari smiled slightly, "Better now."

Asuna then asked, "Are you... still angry?"

The blonde nodded, "Not at you three, you didn't know. I talked to Yugao-sensei about it last night. But..."

Asuna nodded, "I see. Then, we won't push you. I'll make breakfast, can you wake Sinon-chan and Suguha-chan?"

The girl nodded and went to wake the two other girls.

Meanwhile, Yugao was in the Hokage's office. The woman was staring at her leader coldly, "Hokage-sama, Hikari found out about her lineage."

The old man's eyes widened, "Who told her?"

Yugao replied, "The scroll."

Hiruzen sighed, "I see. I guess it can't be helped then."

Yugao glared at him, "So, why did you hid it from her?"

Hiruzen looked at the woman, "To protect her. You know her parents have enemies all over the world. We can't let them find her."

Yugao spoke, "But-"

Hiruzen cut her off, "Yugao, drop it. I was going to tell her when she was ready. That's all. You're dismissed."

The woman nodded and walked out of the building. The old Hokage sighed before he spoke, "Anbu, bring me Kirito, drag him here if you need to."

A mouse shaped masked Anbu appeared and nodded, vanishing to bring Kirito.

A while later, the blacksmith stood in front of the Hokage. Hiruzen asked sternly, "You knew that if you found the Uzumaki clan scrolls, Hikari would have learned about her lineage, didn't you?"

Kirito stayed silent as he stared at the old man. Hiruzen sighed, "Of course you knew. I told you I would tell her when the time was right, you still went ahead and let her know, why?"

Kirito stared at the old Sarutobi, "Its her right, her parents. She has the right to know."

Hiruzen said sternly, "Its not your place to decide."

Kirito stared back, "Nor is it yours. You told the village of her status as a Jinchurikii, but you didn't tell them the whole truth, that was and still is a load of bullshit."

Hiruzen glared at the boy, "Remember who you're talking to, boy. I don't have to explain myself to you."

Kirito glared back, "I'm not one of your ninja. You have no power over me, at the end I'm just a mercenary."

The blacksmith paused as he glared at the old man, "Hikari-chan was hurt when she found out. I don't want that to happen again. I fight to protect those girls, to keep them happy regardless of my relationship with them, even if I have to kill you, even if I have to destroy the world."

For a brief moment, Kirito's eyes turned yellow and Hiruzen suddenly found himself unable to breathe. The Anbu around them were frozen in fear as Kirito unleashed a huge aura.

Then, the aura vanished as Kirito turned, "That's all, right?"

Hiruzen nodded dumbly as the young man excused himself. One of the Anbu asked as he appeared before the Hokage, "Hokage-sama, do we need to follow him?"

The Sarutobi shook his head, "Leave him. Its my fault we're in this mess anyways."

The Anbu nodded and vanished to his position. Hiruzen thought, 'I'm gonna have to talk to Kayaba.'

With Kirito, he went back to his shop and put up the sign that he was in Dicey Cafe, locking the glass door as he went into the Agil's shop.

The young man sat down and saw Agil brewing some coffee. As usual, the cafe was half full with people.

As he sat down, Agil greeted, "Hey, the usual?"

Kirito nodded as the man went to get his drink. As the blacksmith sat there silently, a familiar voice reached him, "Hey gaki, what's got you so down?"

The swordsman turned to see a woman wearing a trench coat, a dango stick in her mouth. Kirito sighed, "Hey, Anko-san."

Anko sat down beside him at the counter and asked, "Its been a while since I saw you, and now I see you, you look like you have some shit on your mind."

Kirito shook his head, "Its nothing."

Agil chuckled as he slid Kirito's drink to him, "You should just tell her, she'll bug you non-stop if you don't."

Anko grinned, "Damn right I will."

Kirito sighed, "I... I made a mistake. Now, Hikari-chan probably hates me. I don't know how to proceed."

Anko nodded, "So, girl trouble. Then, I believe I can help you with that."

Kirito blinked, "You can?"

The woman nodded, "Of course. I heard it from Yugao-chan just a while ago."

Kirito blinked as Anko dragged the teen off, "Hey, where are we going?"

Anko grinned, "The training fields."

Soon, the two were standing on the training field. Anko looked at the young man and said, "Wait here, if I come back and you moved, I'll kick your ass hard."

Kirito nodded as the woman vanished via Shunshin.

In another training field, Hikari, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha were training. Since they had the week off, they decided to train a bit for the day and rest the next few days.

Then, Anko appeared and greeted them. The girls were slightly surprised by the woman but quickly got over it. They had met Anko a while after they formed their teams, especially Asuna, Sinon and Suguha since Yugao brought them to meet her.

The dango lover grinned, "Hey, are you busy?"

The girls shook their heads. Asuna replied, "Not really, why?"

Anko looked at Hikari, "Well, I heard you had a little... argument with Kirito, so I want to help a bit."

Hikari blinked, "What?"

Anko grinned, "Just come with me. You other girls just stay here and continue. I just need Hikari to follow me."

Sinon, Suguha and Asuna looked at each other and nodded. The archer spoke, "I guess its okay, Hikari-chan?"

The blonde nodded and Anko placed a hand on Hikari's shoulder. Then they vanished via Shunshin.

The two then arrived at another training field, and Hikari saw Kirito in his coat. The girl blinked, "Kirito-kun?"

Before Kirito could reply, Anko spoke, "You two, are gonna have a sparring match."

Kirito asked, "Anko-san, what are you doing?"

Anko ignored him and looked at the girl, "You really wanna punch him hard, right?"

Hikari looked away, "You're not wrong... but..."

Anko grinned, "Don't worry about hurting him, from what Yugao-chan told me, he fought Zabuza, right?"

Hikari nodded as the woman grinned, "Then just spar with him, you might understand something."

Anko then looked at the swordsman, "Draw your swords."

Kirito was confused, "What are talking about?"

Anko stared at the blacksmith, "You two are going have a full contact sparring match. Now."

Hikari nodded and stepped forward, facing the teen. Kirito said, "Hikari-chan..."

The girl spoke, "Draw your swords, Kirito-kun. I want to know, why you hid it, why you lied. I don't want to hear it from your mouth, I want to hear it from your heart."

Kirito stared at the girl, "When people clash fists, they attain a mutual understanding, is that it?"

Anko grinned, "Bingo."

The young man nodded, "Fine."

Kirito unsealed his two swords and unsheathed them. He held the Elucidator and the Dark Repulsor in a stance, "I won't hold back."

Hikari nodded and drew a pair of kunai. Anko nodded, "Very well, begin!"

The girl immediately shot forward and swung her knives at the boy she loved. Kirito blocked the kunai as they pushed against each other.

Kirito pushed her away and swung his swords. Hikari bent backwards and dodged them before she spun and kicked Kirito away.

Hikari quickly threw the kunai at him before she flashed through handseals. Kirito parried the kunai before he noticed Hikari yelling, "Chidori!"

The girl shot forward with the lightning in her palms. Kirito bent his knees as he crossed his swords, the two blades glowing light blue, "Cross Block."

The lightning clad arm clashed against the two swords as Hikari pushed against the swords. Kirito pushed back with equal strength before Hikari leaped away.

The girl's eyes slightly widened as she felt a torrent of emotions flowing through her. Hikari felt like she understood why Kirito fought, why he took up the blades.

They continued their spar as the two lovers traded attacks, slowly understanding each other more than they ever had.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen was in Kayaba's smithy. The master blacksmith asked, "So, what brings you here? Another apprentice?"

The Sarutobi chuckled, "No. Actually, I'm here about Kirito."

Kayaba raised an eyebrow, "What of him?"

The Hokage looked at his friend, "You told him about Hikari's heritage, didn't you?"

Kayaba nodded, "If he is to succeed me, he needs to know everything."

Hiruzen nodded, "I know. To be honest, the boy has more than earned my respect. He stared down at me because I kept Hikari's lineage from her. Kirito will be one of the strongest people in the world soon."

The master blacksmith chuckled, "I know, if he is one of the Underworld, he'll be stronger."

Hiruzen nodded, "Just now, I called him to my office. His eyes turned yellow and I felt it, the power from the Underworld."

Kayaba turned to look at the old man and said, "Yellow? Are you sure?"

Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, his eyes turned yellow and I felt the power flowing from him. His aura is strong."

Kayaba nodded, "So he's activating the first stage. I guess I can start my own plans soon."

Hiruzen sighed, "I can't talk you out of that, can I?"

The blacksmith shook his head, "No. We've gone through this a lot of times. I will do it, it's my dream to see a floating castle after all."

Hiruzen nodded, "Fine. So, will you tell him, about his blood of the Underworld?"

Kayaba shook his head, "Until he awakens it, Kirito cannot know. Besides, the path to the Underworld is closed for now. We need to set everything in place first for it to open. If things haven't changed there, we'd probably need to fight for our lives."

Hiruzen nodded, "True. We need to prepare. Plus the Akatsuki and the bijuu."

Kayaba nodded, "Well, I have work to do. Do you need anything else?"

Hiruzen shook his head, "No, that's all. Have a nice day, I'm gonna have stroll."

The swordsman nodded as the Hokage left the shop.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was looking for Hikari. He had heard that she got into a fight with Kirito and thought it was his chance.

The last Uchiha saw Asuna, Sinon and Suguha and walked to them. Asuna saw him and greeted, "Hello, Sasuke."

Sasuke grunted in response, "Have you seen Hikari?"

Suguha looked at the two girls and replied, "Well, she just went with Anko-san."

Sasuke nodded, "I see, do you know where they went?"

Sinon sighed, "No, besides, what do you want with her anyways?"

Sasuke blinked, "I heard that she got into a fight with Kirito or something. So as teammate, I wanted to see how she was doing."

Asuna sighed, "Sasuke, she's fine now. Besides, she is with Kirito-kun now, just stop bothering her."

Sasuke just let out a breath and turned, "What I do and what she does is our choice."

The last Uchiha then walked away. Asuna sighed, "I swear, that guy is obsessed with Hikari-chan."

Sinon nodded, "Its creepy, I feel bad for her."

Suguha sighed, "I just hope she makes up with Kirito-kun soon. I don't want our family to break apart."

Sinon and Asuna nodded in agreement as they continued training.

Back with Kirito and Hikari, the two were panting heavily. They had sparred for quite an amount of time and they were starting to get tired.

Hikari readied her stance, "Its time to end this, Kirito-kun."

The blacksmith nodded and readied his stance. He materialised his wings and flew upwards, surprising the girl and Anko.

Hikari followed and jumped upwards. Then the next thing happened surprised her. Kirito let go of his swords, letting them fall to the ground as he charged Hikari.

The girl realized her mistake and braced for impact. But instead, she felt Kirito embrace her and held her in the air.

The blacksmith spoke, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hid it from you. I was scared, that I would lose you."

Hikari stayed silent as Kirito hugged her tighter, "Please, don't hate me. I won't try to justify my actions, I'll do anything to make it up to you."

The girl replied, "I felt betrayed, when I found out that you knew, that you hid my parents' identity from me. I was really angry, Kirito-kun."

Hikari paused and spoke, "But, I just can't hate you, Kirito-kun. You did it because you wanted to protect me, I think... I get where you're coming from. You were weak, you were afraid you couldn't protect us."

The girl shuffled and looked at him in the eye, "I'll forgive you. But, you shouldn't keep any more secrets from us, can you promise me?"

Kirito nodded, "Yeah, I promise."

Hikari smiled, "Then, as punishment, you'll cook ramen for the next coming week, bring me on a date and let me sleep with you tonight."

Kirito nodded, "Okay."

Hikari then asked, "By the way, when did you start to fly?"

Kirito chuckled, "Kayaba-sensei taught me that when we were in the academy. But that's a story for another time."

Hikari giggled and nodded, "Okay. But, it looks really nice. I can see the village from here."

Kirito nodded, "Yeah."

Before they could continue however, they heard Anko yell, "How long are you two planning to stay up there?"

Kirito chuckled, "Let's get down."

Hikari nodded as they descended to the ground. Anko asked as soon as they touched the ground, "So, did you two make up?"

Hikari nodded, "Yeah, thank you, Anko-san."

The woman grinned, "Its fine, I just set up the stage. The rest were the two of you."

Kirito chuckled, "Even so, you did help."

Anko laughed, "Fine. I expect ten plates of dango."

Kirito nodded, "I'll tell Agil to put that on my tab."

Anko blinked, "I was joking, you know?"

Kirito grinned, "But I wasn't, do you want it though?"

Anko quickly replied, "Of course!"

Hikari giggled as Anko sighed in relief. The woman then looked at the girl, "Its good that you forgave him and all, but I don't think you should let Hokage-sama and Kakashi off the hook yet."

Hikari nodded, "I wasn't planning to. At least, Kirito-kun has been here for me for so long. But Hokage-sama and Kakashi-sensei... not so much."

Kirito the said, "I noticed you stopped calling him Hokage-jiisan."

Hikari nodded, "He lied to me. But, let's not talk about them. I want 15 bowls of ramen for dinner tonight."

Kirito nodded, "Okay."

Anko grinned and said, "Well, I'm gonna go on with my own stuff. See you guys later."

The two nodded as the woman walked away. Anko thought, 'The kid is so whipped.'

XXX

Done. So yeah. Review please. The next chapter will be the girls signing the summoning contracts and stuff. Hikari will also look further into her scrolls, I'll give you guys a hint, there will be two Uzumaki in this story, one OP as fuck old man and one younger girl with glasses.

So, I will also be using references to the LNs, so if you have not read the novels, well, you have been warned. Also, I read the chinese versions, so I'll be using what I know and so on. Until the next chapter, which hopefully will be in a week.
