Author Note:

Nin-Roku here Yea I saw the mistakes I made in my first chapter. To clear up a few things. 1. Tsunade's fiance and brother are not dead. Orochimaru didn't go evil an leave the village. Jiraiya brought back Konan and Yahiko after saving them from Hanzō and Ne attack on them. I won't disclose what happen to Nagato thou since that's for the future :P. I got a lot of shocks for you coming up :D

Dango Shop(After counsel Meeting)

Having been promoted to Chunin during recent Chunin exams held in Kumo a few months ago, Anko Mitarashi sat in her spot at the bar munching away on her twentieths bowl of Dango. Having worked up a large appetite from evacuating civilians from the zones Kyuubi hit during its attack, her clothes were torn in places from narrowly dodging falling parts of buildings which left her covered in dust. Her muscles screamed at her for over using them during the evacuation and now eating her precious dangos.

"Ah my body hurts Nai-chan I can't even eat the last of my dango. Nai-chan feed it to me." pouted out Anko in a tired but whiny voice to her friend Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai sighs shaking her head at her best friend's antics, she sets her own stick of dangos down to reach an take her friend's to feed it to her. "Well Anko-chan if you didn't do my load and yours, you wouldn't be so sore now would you?"

The only response she got was a playful humph and thank you as Anko inhales the dangos off the stick leaving her looking like a squirrel with its cheeks stuffed with nuts. She places the now barren stick down so she can get back to eating her second bowl of dangos. Anko munches away happily at the last of her dangos, she slyly swipes one of Kurenai's with out her knowing or so she thought at least. Of course Kurenai knew Anko did but chose to say nothing about it knowing how hard her friend pushed herself tonight. Orochimaru-sama tasked them with helping evacuating the civilians from the area the kyuubi had appeared near. While her father Shinku Yuhi barred them and the other younger ninja's from participating in the defense of the village. The senior Chunins and Jounins sped off hastily to reach the Sandaime Hokage in holding back the Kyuubi as they waited for the Yondaime to show up.

A swirl of leaves appeared in the middle of the shop signature Shunshin of the village. Once the leaves cleared the occupants of the establishment could see anbu standing there looking directly at the two young teen girls. Walking over everyone could see he's not much older than the two young teens from just looking at his stature and his voice.

"Chunin Anko Mitarashi, Chunin Kurenai Yuhi. You have been here by ordered by the Sandaime Hokage on a escort mission. You are to prepare for a two week long trip to you leave at 0600am tomorrow at the East gate. Do NOT be late." Inu spoke monotone before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.

On the anbu's departure both girls sat stunned at suddenly being called no ordered to take a mission after attack the village just suffered. Both look at each other before darting off to their respective homes to pack an sleep.

Evacuation bunker #43 in Konoha

Konan and Yahiko were relaxing and playing with the academy students since they were tasked to guard and evacuate them. Of course they ended up staying with the students an the civilians to keep them calm, knowing how much they are feeling right now. Having once been like them, Konan a short straight blue haired, warm amber eyed woman entertained the children with her the animals she made origami bloodline(I'm calling it a bloodline cuz I can). The parents of the children were grateful for the distraction she offered the children even themselves were enjoying it. A smile graced her lips as few civilian girls braided her hair. At first the civilians and shinobi of konoha weren't all that open with the pair, seeing as they were from Amegakure. They understood, they were very wary of Konoha as well having been living no surviving in a war torn country for half their lives. Until Jiraiya-sama brought them back to Konoha saving them from a future of violence. A frown develops on her lips as a wave of sadness hits her remembering their friend Nagato who died giving them time to escape from Hanzō and his anbu. Once they were far enough away safely Jiraiya went back to find the place a war zone, bodies scattered everywhere huge holes torn in the ground blood everywhere. Scorch marks and ash piles here an there dotting the land.

But oddly no signs of Nagato's body or Hanzō anywhere, Jiraiya assuming Nagato was one of the ash piles or scorch marks. Sadness filled him for he had hoped Nagato was the child of prophecy. He returned to inform them that Nagato didn't make it, Konan broke down crying at the news of her friends death. Yahiko caught her in his arms before she has a chance to hit the ground. Konan shakes her head to expels the memory so she can focus back on the present.

"Oi! Gaki stop that." A deep timber focus spoke causing a smile to grace her lips knowing her spoke.

Turning around she saw the spiky orange locks of her husband putting a stop to two small academy boys fight, she giggles at his antics. Upon hearing the giggles he turns his blue eyes towards the sound finding his wife who had her hand under her large bump. Them expecting their own little Gaki's any time now, which brings a large smile to his face. They both agreed to name one of the twins if it turned out to be a boy after their friend Nagato in honor of his sacrifice and memory.

"You could help you know." He spoke in a playful annoyed manner.

"I could my dear husband but it deprive you of the practice you'll need when our own little ones get here. But I'm sure the boys are just restless." Konan said in playfulness she was only five months but looked like she was ready to pop.

The two boys nods their heads in agreement smiling brightly at her. "Hai! Tenshi-nee-chan! We're just restless with being cooped up in here." The children and some of the villagers have taken to calling her Tenshi-chan because of her mode of travel in the village by her paper wings. Which give her the appearance of being a angel, and how much the kids love her.

"See Yahiko-Kun they meant no harm. Now how bout you two go back to your Sensais I'm sure they're looking for you in here." Just as the words left her mouth a nervous looking Chunin came over scanning the crowd, as his eyes lands on the two boys his body relaxes.

The Chunin bows towards them "Arigatou Tenshi-san, Yahiko-san for finding them. We were doing a head count when Daisu-kun and Kento-kun went missing. Oh also they say we can come out now of the bunkers. If you will excuse us I'll take the boys back to the rest of the students." he bows once more to them before turning leading the boys away.

Yahiko walks over to his wife wrapping a arm around her waist pulling her gently into his side leading her to the exit. "I guess we'll go home then love." Konan nods her head leaning into him smiling as she rubs soothing circles on her stomach soothing their restless duo.

Once out of the bunker an barely fifty feet away Inu jumps down from one of the roof tops landing in front of them. He stands up straight nodding his head at them both. "Chunin Yahiko, Chunin Konan you have been here by ordered by the Sandaime Hokage on a escort mission. You are to prepare for a two week long trip to you leave at 0600am tomorrow at the East gate." once the both of them nod showing they heard an understood Inu jumps up onto the roof tops heading towards the clan district.

"Guess I'll go pack for us when we get home then. I wonder what type of escort mission this will be if Hokage-sama is sending you knowing your pregnant love." Yahiko said while shrugging his shoulders as he leads them toward their small house.

Clan Compound District (Hyuuga Compound)

Inu lands down in front of the tall gate to the Hyuuga compound he stands up an walks to the gate knocking on it. Knowing the Hyuuga clan is extremely uptight about people entering with out permission he waits no more than a few seconds as the gate open to reveal a random Chunin branch family Hyuuga Guard.

"Propose of visit before entry." Came the dull monotone question from the guard.

"Please inform Hizashi Hyuuga has been here by ordered by the Sandaime Hokage on a escort mission. He is to prepare for a two week long trip. He leaves at 0600am tomorrow at the East gate." Not bothering to staying to see if what he said will reach him as Inu has two more to inform of the mission.

Uchiha Clan Compound

Inside the Uchiha compound one teenager practicing his aim as another sits on a tree sharpening his tantōs waiting for the other to get done. "Nay Itachi-kun, how long do you think it'll take before everything is back to normal?" Spoke the teen sharpening.

Pausing in his throw to look towards his annoying cousin, Itachi sighs silently as he refocuses his attention on his training "Shisui-chan I do not know. The village will recover yes, but it will never be as it once was. To much has happen for it to stay the same." Once the last word left his lips he threw all 4 kunai's at the targets across from him. Each target a different height and angel but not a single kunai missed it mark.

"Perhaps the civilians of the village will by some perchance return to a normal life they once had before the events of tonight. But the Shinobis of the village will not have such a luxury. After all we suffer the price of their immoderation." Itachi said in a calm even if slightly bored tone.

Itachi collects all of his kunai he had used only to pause feeling a presence behind them. Shisui also feeling the use of chakra stands up alert as his Mangekyo Sharingan already spinning wildly, as Itachi tosses a Kunai as the location of the chakra spike, his own sharingan spinning. If Inu were to react a half a second later he would have taken a Kunai to the heart, having jumped back drawing his own Tantō from his back he adopts a defensive stance. He wasn't expecting such hostility from the two Uchiha's but given the night's event it is not all that surprising, he relaxes his stands n sheath his tantō showing he means no harm. Seeing the intruder is anbu with a Inu mask the two deactivate their sharingan, relaxing as they bow to the anbu in apology.

"What can we do for you anbu-san at such a time of night?" Itachi ever the respectful and dutiful shinobi he is spoke up.

"Hokage-sama has assigned Lion, Weasel along with Neko and Boar to a escort mission. Be at the east gate at 0600 sharp. Pack for two week trip. Also inform your mother Itachi-san that she is also to be there." then once more he disppears in a swirl of leaves with only one last person to inform.

Maito Gai House

Since his father death's a few months ago he has pushed him self to the limits with training. Maito Gai quickly rose through the ranks along side his lifelong rival Kakashi Hayate, both becoming chunin's during the exam then Jounins through the war. Even thou he wasn't much older than fifteen he was extremely strong, loyal, kind and energetic but still somewhat inexperienced in his new rank. Of course that just pushed him further to prove himself after having been denied from joining the anbu corps to look after his friend Kakashi by the Sandaime. Saying he didn't have the darkness in him to fully commit to anbu, which he quickly understood after being asked to shadow his friend. A loud knock on his front door stopped him from his thoughts, curious about who it could be he pushed himself off his ceiling cutting off his chakra that kept him there doing a new chakra control exercise he was developing.

Walking over to the door he opens its to reveal none other than his lifelong rival "YOSHI INU-SAN HOW MAY I HELP YOU ON THIS MOST YOUTHFUL NIGHT!" Gai yelled loudly thankfully the Sandaime Hokage had ordered sound barrier seals around Gai's house therefore no one heard the yelling other than the two in the house.

Inu shaking his head trying to dispel the ringing in his ears from Gai's yelling, once finished he stood up slightly taller to his full height which didn't match up to his friend's. "Jounin Maito Gai you have been here by ordered by the Sandaime Hokage on a escort mission. You are to prepare for a two week long trip to you leave at 0600am tomorrow at the East gate."

Once the last person was informed he shunshin's away already knowing the other two anbu know of their mission.

Hokage Tower Counsel Chamber

Tsume blinks looking down at the young pup of her best friend in her arms sleeping away with out a worry in the world. A sad smile graces her lips she remains seated watching the other members leave the chamber. "Tsume I believe it would be wise to get the pup back to the compound. Do not like the scents the civilians are giving off, you know I don't like the smell of hate." A deep bass voice spoke from her side startlingly her
