*Some weeks later*

Nayuki wakes up alone on her futon. Unconsciously she runs her hand along her growing belly. It's still in the middle of the night. Suddenly her Kunoichi instincts kick in. She can feel 6 unfamiliar chakra signatures heading towards the sleeping wing. She knows for a fact, that she is familiar with all their guards. 'An attack!' Immediately she slips out of her room and runs to the boys. Hashirama sits on the ground and shivers violently. 'He knows it too.' Then she turns to search for Tobirama and realizes that Hashirama must have hid his brothers inside their cupboard. "It's alright, I'll protect you and your brothers", she reassures the young boy in front of her before she turns around to face the door.

They don't have to wait long till 6 Uchiha shinobi rush in. They attack immediately, however Nayuki holds her ground. She dodges their strikes and downs two of them fast. Two of the others rush at her as distraction while the others wait for their chance to attack again. One of her attackers hurts her at the shoulder. Even though she is in a lot of pain now, she doesn't lose focus. She knows that any mistake on her part would end in the death of her and the boys. The will to protect the boys numbs her pain and lets her ignore the wound for now. With another strike Nayuki manages to kill a third shinobi before they corner her. In the corner of her eye she can see Hashirama prepare to attack. She waits for him to make his move never letting her opponents out of her eyes. Then she rushes at the remaining two who are caught by surprise because of Hashiramas brave attack. Quickly she disposes of them. When she turns to Hashirama, she sees that he defeated his opponent. Soon she realizes that this had to be Hashiramas first kill because the boy is standing completely still. Overwhelmed by his feelings Hashirama isn't able to move before he sacks to the ground losing his conscious. Nayuki can catch him before he actually hits the ground and places him carefully at his futon. Afterwards she goes over to the cupboard to check up on the other boys. Tobiramas eyes widen in horror when the door opens. However, he relaxes as soon as he comes face to face with Nayuki. He sighs in relive, "Is it over?" "I think so…. Are you hurt?" "No" "Good. I can feel 'Suma and some guards coming our way." Nayuki helps Tobirama out and takes Kawarama in her arms while Tobirama runs over to Hashirama. "He's alright…. He's just unconscious" Tobirama knees down to his brother and cries. "I was so afraid. I-I thought we were going to die!" Nayuki puts Kawarama into his crib, moves over to the older brothers, sits down and pulls Tobirama into a hug. Soothingly she moves her fingers through his hair.

Butsuma has finally finished fighting his last opponent. How they got into the compound is beyond him. "Butsuma-sama! It seems that some Uchiha passed into the living areas – Someone said they got into the main house" Butsumas eyes widen as his blood runs cold. 'No…. Please, let them be alright!' Immediately he turns and sprints back to his house. Five shinobi follow after him – Shikaku is one of them. Afraid for his the good friends he found in Nayuki and the boys, he extents his senses. In panic he searches for any chakra signature. Finally he can feel all four of them. He lets out the breath he didn't know he was holding. "Butsuma-sama!", he addresses his leader, "I can feel their chakra signatures in the boys' bedroom. Nayuki-hime is with them …" "Are there any others?" "I can't feel anyone else" Everyone can see Butsuma relax after he got this important piece of information. "Good"

Soon they arrive at the room. All swallow as they realize that Nayuki and the boys were attacked by 6 enemy shinobi. 'Nayuki must have fought all of them at the same time', Butsuma assumes guilty, 'How could we let 6 of them get past the battlefield?' They look at Nayuki, who is sitting next to an unconscious Hashirama with a crying Tobirama in her arms. She soothes the wailing boy the best she can while they can see that she clearly is fighting with pain. Butsuma searches for her injury and finally finds the bleeding shoulder. Slowly he walks up to her. "Are the boys alright? Is your injury dangerous?" "The boys are alright… It's a simple stab wound, nothing major although it hurts like a bitch" Letting his eyes drift over to Hashirama, Butsuma looks at his son in pity. He knows that this is just the beginning of his sons fighting career. Happy to know that his family is save, he pulls Nayuki and Tobirama into a bone crushing hug.
