Lost Family / Rosuto Shuzoku
Over Ikamaru's father's picture laid dozens of pictures that kept on linking to other pictures by a string molded onto the walls. But that didn't concern Ikamaru as much as it concerned him that his father, who up until now had been lying to him about his origin, was part of the Tarakaraka Family. Ikamaru started to walk to the picture. Under the name stood, in bold print, a summary of his part in the family:

Accomplishments: Invented the TH----R Q-A--
The last few parts of the final word had been covered by dirt that seemed to be stuck onto the wall. Ikamaru did some hand signs and his hand had been covered in flames. He molded in something down onto the encription and backed away.

"Well... I guess that old man was right. I guess I am part of a big family called the Tarakaraka family... but why? Why didn't my father tell me about it... maybe there was something he didn't want me to know" Suddenly a noise was heard from the two ninja's ears. "This place looks like it's gonna break down, Ika. Let's go" Amy said as she dashed for the elevator. "When did you start calling me Ika?" Ikamaru asked, following. "Since a month ago" Amy said, smiling, as Ikamaru jumped in and the door closed infront of the two. "Oh, don't remind me of that again. That was just si-" A rock crashed on the emergency escape door on the top of the elevator and broke it down, landing right infront of Ikamaru. "Damn, the elevator's too slow to escape the rocks" Ikamaru said, angerily. Amy jumped out onto the roof while Ikamaru did too. The two started wall jumping up to the top. "I... Wonder... How... An Elevator... Could work... In A 6000 year old cave... Like this!?" Ikamaru thought out loud. "Like I... Care... I'm just thankful... It Works! There wasn't... Any other way... To Get Down... Besides that gauntlet thingy" Amy said. The two got upto the top floor and found themselves back to where the old man was. "So did you find what you needed??" The old man asked. "Yup! Now let's get out of here!" Ikamaru took out his sword and did a few hand signs. He placed his hand on the wall which turned the portion of the wall red. He slashed a couple of times and destroyed it. He did the same jutsu and destroyed another portion next to it, making a hole for escape. The old man went out first, followed by Amy. Ikamaru was going to exit when a rock landed on him, blocking the exit. "Damn" Ikamaru said. He had no time for the jutsu for the pit of lava was coming for him. Then he had an idea.
Back at the top of the surface, Amy and the old man found themselves surrounded by miners. Then Kaguya came up. "You must be Ikamaru's freind. Nice to meet you... but where's Ikamaru?" Amy looked back at the sealed off exit and panicked. She took out a kunai and a scroll tag and made an explosive tag attack. She threw it at the sealed off exit and made a hole again. But it was too late. Lava rushed through the hole for freedom, only to be washed away by Kaguya's water jutsu. "You haven't answered my question... where's Ikamaru?" Kaguya said, then stopped. She knew what had happend now. Then a small voice came from Amy's pocket. It was the walkie-talkie. Amy picked it up and tuned into it. "Hello?" She went.
"Amy. Don't worry. I've tracked Ikamaru's chakra. He's alright"
Amy was happy and relaxed now.
"But there's something I have to tell you"
Amy started worrying again. "What?"
"Ikamaru seems to be flowing... right through the lava... and into the Stone Village Sewers"
"Woohoo!" Ikamaru yelled out as he and his summoning crossed the lava path and were about 2-3 kilometres/1-2 miles away from the sewers. But what really was interesting was his summoning: A blue and white-bottomed dragon.
