Naruko went ahead and began on her way back to Earth Country, leaving Haruka and Sadao to bid farewell to the Konoha Chunin.

"Are you going to speak with the Tsuchikage about Naruko? What she did back there was some pretty awesome stuff." Choji said, stuffing his face with some unknown food.

"Yes, of course we are. If she gets out of hand she would be a massive threat. And not just to Iwa." Sadao gasped. "If she ever decided to hurt me, think of what would happen to my beautiful, soft, and not to mention better than everyone else's, skin! Oh, the horror!" Sadao said, shocked at the thought of any part of him being damaged.

Haruka shook his head at his squad member. "Will you speak with the Hokage?" Haruka asked.

Shikamaru nodded. "That girl is scary." Shikamaru said, a shiver running down his spine. If he had to be up against anyone, he didn't want it to be her.

With that, the Shinobi parted ways, the Konoha Chunin going back to Fire Country and the Iwa Chunin going to Earth Country.

Naruko knew that Zabuza's spirit would not come back to haunt her. Sora had told her that he would be going to hell for what he had done in his life. That led to a conversation about why not all spirits stay on earth.

"Well, when you die, you are given a choice. You have to decide if you want to stay here on earth or pass to the afterlife. Of course, if you have done evil in while you were alive then you don't get a choice, you are sent straight to hell. And besides, if the person you killed chose to stay behind, they would never hurt you anyway. You are a Spirit Lord after all.

"Anyway, the main reason for spirits staying here is to watch over those who they love. I wanted to stay here because I thought it would be awesome to watch how the Five Great Shinobi Nations changed over time. It got old after a while but as it turns out, you aren't given the chance to go on to the afterlife a second time." Sora said, looking sad as the two jumped through the trees, trying to get back to Iwa. Naruko knew from the last time she asked not to push about how Sora had died and how long ago it had been. Sora had not talked to Naruko for a whole day and it had had her in tears.

Naruko wondered if her parents were in the afterlife. That is probably why she couldn't see them.

When Naruko and Sora got to Iwa two days after leaving, Naruko gave the Tsuchikage the mission report.

"Where are Haruka and Sadao?" The Tsuchikage asked.

"I didn't need them for the mission. And they are still on their way. They chose to stay and chat with the Konoha Chunin." Naruko said before leaving placing Zabuza's giant sword on the Tsuchikage's desk and leaving his office. She knew that it was terribly rude, especially to the Tsuchikage but she didn't want to be in the presence of the living. The dead are the only ones I can trust, Naruko thought.

Haruka and Sadao stood in the Tsuchikage's office later that day, having returned from the mission.

"Why is it that Naruko felt that she didn't need you two on the mission?" The Tsuchikage asked. How could she have not needed them? He knew that the mission he had given them was definitely S-rank but he had lowered it because he knew that the three Iwa Chunin could handle it, especially with the help of some of Konoha's Chunin, but to hear that Naruko didn't need their help baffled him.

"Well, because she didn't. She took out Zabuza before he even had any time to strike her first. And she didn't even move!" Sadao exclaimed.

Haruka rolled his eyes. "She didn't move, Sadao because it wasn't her that stabbed Zabuza in the back. She only slit his throat. Weren't you watching her movements after Zabuza was dead? She high fived someone. Someone who none of us could see. And when we were following her she was speaking with someone. Once again, someone we couldn't see." Haruka said.

The Tsuchikage thought for a second, taking in what the two were saying. "So, are you saying that she can communicate with something that none of you could see?"

"Yes, and I know it was a spirit." Haruka said, noisily.

The Tsuchikage wondered, "And what drew you to that conclusion?"

"Simple, she had said before killing Zabuza, 'Naruko and Sora! The Spirit Lord and her dead best friend.' So I just figured that she must be the Spirit Lord and the one who aided her in her battle against Zabuza must have been Sora." Haruka said.

"I see."

Shikamaru, Shino and Choji had been lying when they said that they would speak with the Hokage. They knew that the Hokage would see the girl as a threat and try to get her to come to Konoha. It might just start a war. They chatted about the girl and her power anyway, trying to figure out what gave her such great power. Unfortunately, someone overheard a snippet of their conversation, the part about the Spirit Lord and her dead best friend. That someone passed it on to another who passed it on to someone else. Soon many people where whispering about a mysterious girl with great power and her dead best friend.

Naruko tried her best to avoid her uncle. He was alive so he couldn't be trusted. But Toru soon managed to catch her. "Naruko, I just want to speak with you." He said, bending down so that he was looking her in the eye.

"Well, I don't want to talk to you." Naruko said, turning to leave.

Toru grabbed onto her elbow, stopping her from leaving. Naruko had to try hard not to pull her elbow away from him, scowling at the red headed man. He was alive so he couldn't be trusted. "Listen, if I wanted to tell you anything, I would." Naruko said through gritted teeth.

"Naruko, why are you acting like this? Is it because of Sora and your Kekkei Genkai?" Toru asked.

"What do you care? You're alive. People who are alive cannot be trusted." Naruko said, pulling her arm out of her uncle's grip and running off. Toru sighed. What this Kekkei Genkai was doing to his niece was terrible but he had no way to stop it.
