"You should be able to figure out what happened from that point on." Kiokumaru said.
"So here's a question. Why did you leave then?" Shuji asked.
Kiokumaru hesitated.
"Well,……"
Kiokumaru was cut off by four Genin landing in front of them.
"I figured he'd be here." Satori said
"Hey guys what's up?" Shuji asked.
"Don't 'hey guys what's up?' us." Rikku said.
"You were supposed to meet with us this morning." Kuma said.
"Yeah well I kinda ran into somebody." Shuji replied.
The four Genin looked over to Kiokumaru.
"This is my father." Shuji said.
The others' mouths dropped.
"Your father?" They all said in unison.
Later that day, Shuji walked with his father down the streets of Konoha.
"So tell me, son. Have you developed my bloodline?"
"Yeah I have. People don't think much about me in battle because they all think that I have no chakra. Then they're surprised when I start doing jutsus. I have found out though that only summoned animals can see my chakra. No one else can. Not even the Hyuga Clan."
"I've heard of the Hyuga Clan's bloodline. Do you have any Hyuga's that are your age?"
"Yeah, two. Neji and Hinata. Neji is my age while Hinata is a year younger." Shuji replied. "So where is it you wanted to go, father?"
"I want to see your mother's grave." Kiokumaru said.
"Well, follow me." Shuji said.
Moments later they arrived at a cemetery. Shuji walked his father to the headstone of Uchiha Nohara. Kiokumaru looked to his son.
"Would you mind if I'd like to be alone?" Kiokumaru asked.
"Sure. I'll catch up with you later." Shuji said.
Kiokumaru nodded as his son walked off. He looked back at the headstone.
"I miss you so much. There's something I have to do. Something I couldn't do while you were here. But whatever happens please don't think less of me." He leaned over and kissed the top of the headstone."
He turned around and walked off.
