But Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
-When Natsuki was five years old.
"What is this place?" a small frail voice spoke, as she stared mesmerised at the building. Underwater castle to be more exact. She was snuggled up to a man's chest, as she giggled when merpeople came, and greeted the man, and the young girl. "This place is Atlantis."
-Present time-
_Normal POV_
"Atlantis." It was barely a whisper, but the Gods heard all too clear what Natsuki had said. Blue eyes stared at the silver charm bracelet on her wrist, as she brung a delicate finger to play with the trident charm. She felt a warm feeling engulf her, as she silently murmured the word again, trying to figure out what is was, and what it meant to her. Her head throbbed, as she brung her fingers to gently massage her forehead, trying to sooth the pain.
As the pain eased, her brother had already came up to her, arms clutching her right arm gently, worried eyes scanning over the Princess body, "Is something wrong? Are you in pain?" Naruto knew the answer. She was in pain, and he felt it. It was the bond they had, they were twins. They felt each other's emotions, when they are sad, or nervous. When one of them gets injured, the other can feel it. So when Natsuki's head started to throb and hurt, Naruto immediately felt it.
Natsuki had attempted to figure out her past, the eight years she couldn't remember. Tsunade had attempted to try to bring her memories back, but it seemed impossible. Every few months, Natsuki would get visions, it small and brief, nothing much. This was the most detailed one of them yet, but it was still so vague. When the pain finally subsided, she gave her worrying brother a small smile, "Sorry, just a little headache." Unconvinced, as Naruto helped his sister off the desk, to sit on the cushioned couch. Gently bring his fingers to Natsuki's forehead, as faint green light engulfed his hands. Finally making sure Natsuki was unharmed, the green light faded back into his hands. Sitting down next to his sister, as he grabbed her hand, and started to play with it.
Yeah so what! I made Naruto smarter and stronger! Problem!?
The Gods watching this interaction, some finding jealousy, while the rest find it rather touching. "If it won't be too much to ask, Naruto. Can you please go find Kakashi, and fetch him for me?" Silently nodding, as he let go of Natsuki hand, and left the room, obeying Tsunade order.
Now it just left the Gods plus demigods, Natsuki, and the Hokage. The room became once more an uncomfortable silence, as Tsunade studied them once more. "Why don't we just get the report done while you're here?" Tsunade once again was to break the silence, eyes trained on Natsuki, waiting for her to speak, "Yes! The report about the mission!" Standing up, as she moved to another couch, which was in front of the desk the Hokage was sitting in.
Making herself comfy, as she crossed her legs, pushing her hair out of her eyes. "Was the mission a success or a fail?" The once carefree eyes ot Natsuki, soon hardened, as she casted them down, not wanting to look to Tsunade, "In the council's term, it was a success. We got the scroll, and returned it safely here." Tsunade watched, as Natsuki clutched her hand tightly, nails digging into the flesh, drawing blood, as it dropped down on the couch, staining it. "What do you think. Was this mission a success or a fail."
Taking a deep breath, as Natsuki tried to control her breathing, "10 died, 15 in the ER. 3 MIA. Only three came out fine. Including me. All those penalty, just for a single scroll. A scroll which we don't know is even important. To much of a loss. A wife won't be able to meet her husband, a brother who will never meet her older sister again. Parents having to attend their own child's funeral. Was this mission a success or a fail? We may have completed the goal of the mission, but was the cost to much?"
SIlently chuckling, as Tsunade rested her chin on the palm of her hands, "Always speaking in riddles. You entertain me." Her emerald eyes held grief in them, as the Hokage let the words sink in, did the pros outway the cons? She is having the scroll examined, to see if it was the right one, to see if it isn't just a span of a scroll. She knew the consequences of this mission, but she needed that scroll, and she wasn't going to take chances. High level rogue ninjas garden that scroll, and probably learned its secrets.
Tsunade had asked Natsuki to go on this mission, knowing if she went along it would be a success. It was though. Right? They had achieved the scroll, completing the objective of the mission, but why did Natsuki make it sound like they have failed? The Hokage never knew Natsuki as well as she did with Naruto. Natsuki was preserved, she was always in the background, letting her brother get all the attention. She didn't open up to people, no. It was more like she didn't trust the village.
Natsuki showed up to the village at the age of eight, somebody, a woman named Hera proclaiming Natsuki was the twin of Naruto. The Third Hokage had no doubt that they were twins, the similarity was to much, and had instantly took the young girl from Hera. But when Natsuki had woken up, she had no memories of her life before, she did not even remember her own name.. Thanks to Hera, the Third Hokage was able to figure out her name.
Once Naruto found out he had a sister, he started to mature more, and became protective over his sister. Soon the little brat the village knew, grew up, and proved everyone he can actually become Hokage. Naruto and Natsuki alone were incredibly powerful, but together, they're invincible. Naruto's main element of air, while Natuki was fire, which were perfect combination, air making the fire grow more vicious and deadly.
"Can you show these people where they will be staying?" Tsunade asked, needing time alone to think about the situation. To see if the pros outway the cons.
A sigh escaped Natsuki's lips, before pushing herself up from the couch. Bowing mockingly at the Hokage, before walking out the door. Only stopping, and turning around the gesture the Gods to follow her.
To say the least, the Gods were surprised the their Princess attitude. Her usual polite, and shy attitude was completely replaced by a rude, and cocky attitude. Surprisingly some found that a turn on, as some found the change rather interesting. As the stepped out to the snowy outside, Natsuki pulled her trench coat tighter around her body, as her black hunting boots crunched loudly on the white snow. Her blond hair being slightly covered by the white snow, and if you look closely enough, and faint red, almost pink aura surrounded her.
The snow came down harder, as more people quickly rushed to their home, trying to seek warmth and comfort. Stands closing, the snow getting to much to stay open. Some of the more daring kids stayed outside, playing, and roughhousing. Passing by those people, as they entered a more quiet place. It almost seemed like this place was abandoned. "We just entered the Uzumaki compound. Currently no one occupied these houses, three, soon to be seventeen lives in the Uzumaki mansion." Natsuki explained, as they walked by the empty abandoned houses.
About twenty more minutes of walking, as they entered a luscious garden, still had fresh flowers on them, not a single one wilting. A faint cover of snow covered them, before a strange gust of wind past through them, removing the snow, and leaving a green, vibrant garden. Filled with flowers, and different types of plants. And before the beautiful garden, stood a grand mansion.
No, it was like a castle. A castle made out of crystal. It reflected a rainbow from the pure white snow, as there were four main towers, windows with vines elaborately curling around it, as a grand golden door lead to the entrance of the castle, "Welcome to my home."
Opening the golden door, as they entered the beautiful crystal castle.
(So yeah, I made it a crystal castle! If you read my other story, the mansion is extraordinarily different.)
