Chapter Two

The bandaged one looked at the still sleepy ninja. "Izumo, please take them to the Hokage's building. I'm sure she will want to see them, since they are our allies." His only answer was a yawn and he got up and motioned for them to follow him into the village.

Ashi looked around the village as he followed the lazy ninja to the Hokage's building. He wanted to find his mother not go meet the Hokage. He didn't want to waste his time talking to her when he could be finding his mother and asking her questions that plagued his mind for a long time. But this village offered so many distractions. His attention was first brought to a conversation that was happening by the gates. A blond haired woman in a purple outfit was carrying on about flowers while two men ignored her. One was eating a big bag of chips and the other staring at clouds. The cloud one was mumbling about 'troublesome women' Ashi didn't think that was how you treated a woman but didn't want to interfere and continued looking around while he walked through the village.

Aryus watched his brother take in the surroundings. He smiled a bit; Ashi was always amused and distracted by moving things. This was a blessing and a curse in the effect that he is always into trouble. He looked down at Tatia to see what she thought of this new village.

This is an interesting smelling village. Tatia growled. It is nice, except I smell Nin-Dogs. A lot of them.

Smiling at his companion, Aryus rounded the corner still following the ninja when he suddenly saw pink! Then a soft body ran into him, causing him to fall on the ground with said body on top of his. Opening his eyes he came into contact with another color, emerald green. So in depth with his thoughts he didn't even realize that the body was talking.

"I'm so sorry! I'm late for my shift at the hospital," she said hurriedly while getting off of him. "Cause my alarm clock didn't go off and my uniform wasn't dry and I didn't have any clean uniforms so I had to wait for them to dry and...I'm rambling aren't I?" When the woman was answered by a nod she continued. "I don't think I know you. I'm Haruno Sakura. Medic-Nin and Ninja." With that said she thrust out her hand which was met by a strong gloved one. "I'm Aryus. And this is my brother..."

Ashi stuck out his hand. "I'm Ashi and this is Tatia and Nina. Our Nin-Cats?" He said confused. Then he stared at the felines and started mumbling. "What do we call you? Nin-Cats sounds weird." Sakura smiled at the perplexed man next to her. Then she turned her attention to the man standing across from her. He was a tall man with long hair that made its way just past his ears and it was midnight black with streaks of blue running through it. His eyes were another thing all together they were much Sasuke's sharingan eye but the red was replaced by blue. Thinking that it was part of his family bloodline limit she wondered what his power was like. She was so in her thoughts that she didn't hear Izumo talking. "-see you too, Sakura, but aren't you running late?" This jerked Sakura back into reality. "Crap! Well I will see you are around! Bye!" And with that the pink-haired medic ran to the hospital cursing about stupid drying machines and defective alarm clocks.

Resuming their walking, Aryus was thinking about the pink-haired women when he was yanked from his thoughts when he noticed that he couldn't find Ashi.

Ashi had spotted a restaurant that caught his eye and smells coming from this building were addicting. He looked into the building a saw a blond man yelling about how good the ramen was and then there was another man clad in green talking about how 'youthful' it was for his training. He was about to sit down to order when his brother grabbed him by his headband and pulled him back outside. "Hey! I'm hungry!"

Aryus continued pulling him and following the ninja. "We can eat after we meet the Hokage. Then after that we have to find a place to stay and form a plan on how to find mother." He let go of his brother and stared at him. "We can eat later." With that he left his brother and went to the stopped ninja.

Nodding to him, Aryus wanted to get information from him, but before he could ask the man spoke. "Go up the stairs and turn right and it's the second door on the right." And he turned to leave, "Wait!" and he turned back to the strangers. "What is the name of the Hokage?"

"Lady Tsunade." With that he left the two bewildered Shinobi.

"Tsunade?" Ashi whispered. Looking at his brother who had a hard look on his face. "Isn't that..."

"That is our mother."
