"How are you feeling?" Yukino asked.

"A little dead. What did you do to me? How am I alive?"

"I placed a soul seal on you that would prevent you from being killed for forty-eight hours. After that the seal would dissipate and you would be able to be truly killed."

Satori looked confused.

"I'll explain that part later." She said.

"It's good to have you back Satori. What do you have to report?" Tsunade asked.

FLASHBACK

Satori and Hiroshi headed to the main gates getting ready to leave for their mission.

"Satori-kun, wait a second." Yukino said.

Satori looked back to see Yukino running up to her.

"What's up, Yukino-san?"

"I want you to be careful out there." She said as she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"What was that for?" Satori said confused.

Yukino didn't answer. She just smiled. Satori turned around and left. A short time later, Hiroshi and Satori walked down a dirt road on their way to the Hidden Waterfall village. Satori walked a few feet in front of Hiroshi. Satori seemed relaxed as he slightly rested his arms on the handles of his two sai. He moved the senbon up and down in his mouth as he walked. Hiroshi remained quiet and looked off to the side. They came to a stream and Satori unhooked his canteen and began to fill it up.

"We won't reach the border for another few hours so we better fill up our canteens." Satori said.

Hiroshi nodded. Then without warning a group of Sound ninjas appeared and surrounded the two Leaf ninjas. Satori's gloved hands formed a plus sign seal.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu." (Shadow Clone Technique)

Multple Satori clones appeared to even the odds. Hiroshi leapt into the battle with a kunai drawn as did Satori with his two sai. Satori leapt into the air and landed on the shoulders of a Sound ninja. He then stabbed two other ninjas in the top of their heads and then grabbed the head of the ninja he stood on with his feet and launched him into a crowd of more Sound ninjas. Hiroshi stabbed one in the chest. The Sound ninja dropped his sword.

"This will work better." Hiroshi said as he picked up the weapon.

Satori and Hiroshi leapt back and landed next to each other. Satori looked from side to side to observe their chances of winning this battle. The chances looked good.

"I'm sorry." Hiroshi said behind him.

Before he had the chance to look back he felt a cold blade of a sword slide its way through his chest. He looked down to see the blade sticking out the left side of his chest. He knew it had pierced his heart. He even felt the hilt of the sword pressing against his shoulder blade. Hiroshi pulled the sword from Satori's chest and Satori dropped to his knees and let go of his weapons. Satori hit the dirt face first. All of the Satori clones disappeared in clouds of smoke. Hiroshi rolled Satori onto his back using his foot. He knelt down next to him and looked at Satori's surprised facial expressions. Satori was breathing heavily and the time between breaths became longer. Hiroshi reached over and pulled a scroll from Satori's Jonin vest.

"I can't allow you to deliver this to Hidden Waterfall." Hiroshi said as he unraveled the scroll.

His eyes widened as he read the scroll.

"Damn it. It's a fake. I blew my cover for a fake scroll." Hiroshi said.

One of the Sound ninjas came up to Hiroshi.

"What about him?" He asked.

"Leave him. He'll be dead in minutes." Hiroshi said without looking at Satori.

Hiroshi and the Sound ninjas leapt into the air leaving Satori behind. Satori just stared into the sky waiting for the inevitable.

"So this is it? Looks like I'm not going to get any overtime today." He thought to himself.

Finally his body relaxed and his arm fell to the ground.

END FLASHBACK

Tenten sat on the couch and watched a home video that Satori made a few years ago. He went around Konoha and recorded a bunch of things. He recorded Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Hinata and Temari standing near a bridge and smiling for the camera. Kurenai, Asuma, Gai and Kakashi all posed for the camera, He walked past a few of the dressed up Genin along with Gaara and Kankuro who were dressed up as well. The majority of the segment was Taijutsu training of Satori, Naruto, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Neji, Shuji, Arihiro and Tsuku.

Tears ran down Tenten's face as she watched the video. Then she heard the front door open. She knew that it wasn't her parents because they were out and weren't due back until later. She quickly turned off the video and the light next to her. She stood in the dark and waited for the person to walk in through the doorway. A silhouette of somebody appeared in the doorway. Tenten grabbed the end table closest to her and threw it at the silhouette. The intruder didn't see it coming and was laid out from it. Tenten ran over and turned on the light to see who had come into her house. To her surprise, it was Satori.

"Hi…Nee-chan."

Tenten gasped as tears began to form at the edge of her eyes and fell down her cheeks. Satori slowly stood up holding his head. She ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Nii-chan, is it really you?"

"Yeah it is."

"But you were dead. How did you…? I don't understand."

"Yukino-san put a special seal on me before I went on that mission that prevented me from being killed."

All of the pressure that Tenten felt on her chest was finally relieved.

"So is it true? Is Hiroshi really a traitor?" Tenten asked.

"Yeah. He's the one who stabbed me."

"What's the plan now?"

"We go after Hiroshi before he can do anything that will jeopardize this village." Satori said.
