Part One:
The Door to the hokage's office flew open and in a flash of blonde hair Eleven year old Namiko appeared before her mother. The Young Labrador, Sayuri following closely at her heels.
"Mother, Sakura From The Hospital Requested your presence at once. Yuki Has returned, and hes quite ill... Sakura says he has information. But he wont tell anyone, she think's you'll get him to talk"
Kaori looked at her daughter solemnly, yet another attempt at recovery had failed.
"Mom..." Namiko Looked back at her mother as the tears welled up in her eyes "I want Dad to come home, I want dad and Naruto back..." Namiko began to sob quietly. Kaori Embraced her youngest as the office door opened once again. This time it was Takeshi's wife Arisa who entered the office.
"Kaori-sama. Takeshi has sent for you. Hes starting to remember what happened right before they were ambushed and he feels he has enough to tell you."Arisa Wrung her hands nerviously. The tension in the hokage's office continued to grow with every passing second.
"Thank you Arisa, You came just in time, i was about to head to the hospital as it was. Yuki was returned in poor shape as well."
"Im sorry, This cant be easy for you Kaori-sama...If you need any help I-" Aisa looked at Namiko for a moment before looking back at her hands.
"Thank you Arisa, but I'll Manage. We'll Leave Yahiko here until we get back. Hinata, Perhaps it would be best if you were to stay here for now." Hinata nodded as Kaori and Arisa turned to leave
"Namiko, go along and Find your brother and sister I'll speak to them as soon as I return"
"Yes Mother!" Namiko left the office with sayuri in tow, Arisa and Kaori Followed close behind them.
.....
Many People Asociete the hospital in Konoha with the looming threat of death. Kaori was no different. When She was five The hospital had stolen her mothers smile, And Her mother had died not long after. It was a hospital not unlike this one that had refused to treat, and killed her father. And it was here where Kaori had seen many a friend and comrade take their last breath. Even now Death hung in the air as a sign of what was to come. Kaori Was Lead to Takeshi first, while Yuki was stabalized in the ICU. Arisa Took Kaori in the room before going to wait in the hall, which for her was unusual to leave takeshi, Takeshi turned to his older sister.
"Kaori, I dont know much. But I'll Tell you all I have"
"Its Alright Takeshi, anything is more than we have at this point. Just remember what you can" Kaori took a seat in the chair at takeshi's bedside.
"I don't know who it was, but they are after jutsu. The Nichinai... they wanted it...maybe they even got it, i couldn't tell what whats happening. They came out of nowhere, no way to identify them or affiliate them with any known village. I was bound up and my head was covered. And then i blacked out...or they injected me with something, but i lost consciousness. The last thing i heard was 'don't leave withought that jutsu'. Kaori if they got a hold of the Nichinai...."
"Takeshi, i will see to it personally that whoever got a hold of that jutsu is taken care of. But i haven't seen such a damn trick since Orochimaru...who the hell could-"
"Kaori-sama!" the door burst open and a doctor walked in. Kaori-sama. Your needed at Yuki's side at once, His condition is deteriorating...
