Alright guys, first things first. I had... I'm going to cry... two reviews last chapter. I don't know if I just wrote that chapter horribly or if it was just something wasn't worth reviewing but I have 274 people following this story. I have 137 reviews and I can guarantee you guys that only a quarter have actually reviewed because there are many of you who have reviewed multiple times, and for that, thank you.

Also, if you all have not noticed I took the liberty of sending you all a message of warning... that took 3 hours so be very VERY grateful. Unless you're not in which I'll just have to go cry in a corner.

...

...

Well! What are you doing here! Go read the next part, you sillies.

Now for this chapter I have one thing to say: I want all of you to give me a review. Every last one of you! It doesn't have to be big and can be something as simple as "good job" or "wow, this chapter fucking blows". I don't care, just something.

Also, before I do anything too crazy the rating is going up for this story.

Now, on with the show.

"Dodge, Naruto-kun!" Konan called.

With a flick of her wrist a flurry of paper shuriken shot and Naruto was forced to dodge and twist as Konan disappeared and reappeared closer. When he regained his bearings and landed on his feet, Naruto flicked his eyes every direction before suddenly he looked up and saw Konan rushing him with her paper wings flushed against her back, the sun shrouding like an eclipse.

"Analyse your enemy and think!" she said coolly.

Naruto turned and faced her as she came closer and braced for impact...

An impact that would never come. Opening his eyes, Naruto half-expected to see his Mother standing there cross and disappointed but instead he saw nothing but thin air.

Konan's voice sounded cool but fond when he heard it next. Though it was behind him causing Naruto to curse silently while he met her gaze.

"Know when to flee."

For the past few weeks Konan had made a habit of staying with him and his friends in their apartment. At first it may have been difficult. Awkward in some cases but rewarding in the end. Wherever she felt she could be used she was and whenever she could be.

It helped to realize that he was still adjusting—she was too—so she reigned herself in and waited until she could mother him when he allowed. And over the time she was there he opened bit by bit and when he did, she always had this little smile he seemed to get a small addiction for.

Mind you, his trust in her was lacking but when he confronted Anko on the subject she just said to give it time.

And he did just that and now Konan and him were trying to make up for lost time with her training him and his friends personally along with other family things.

Now though training was finished and the end was the same. Beaten and cursing. Just like every day. However with the Hokage giving them a month to cool off and another to train he couldn't complain. He liked training with his mom and it really showed who she was and that she did care.

Naruto sighed as he moved in step with Konan away from the training field. She trained him with no punches pulled. His muscles were leaner, his reactions quicker, and his demeanor sharper. The same applied to Haku and Tenten who managed to look just the same if not more genteel. They could effectively challenge Chuunin now and upon further review from Konan managed to make them much more effective as a team—abandoning that ridiculous genjutsu stunt they had used on the bridge, as a result. However, now she was working with them one-on-one to help them in case they were separated like during their examination where they fallen apart with only one member missing.

Naruto pouted initially at the idea with Haku and Tenten looking the same, however when she challenged them the fight didn't last more than five minutes. Call it a genin's mistake to not learn from the first time.

Feeling Konan's arm link through his he smiled a little. Later they were supposed to have a little get-together with their family to introduce everyone to Konan since the introductions before were brief.

Grinning a little at the oncoming traffic Naruto slipped on his mask as Konan henged into a beautiful woman with deep black hair and modest clothing to finish it off. They would need to meet with Haku and Tenten to go shopping later—maybe some Dango for Anko when she comes over.

"Ibiki-san, look over this sheet would you?" Anko asked.

"Hai."

It had been a long day so far and Anko had been trying to keep up with the paperwork that came with interrogating. Staying the entire morning in her office, pencil-in-hand and working. Now though she was waiting for word on Kimimaru and Zabuza who had been processed only just, holding no information other than bounty locations, which would be added to the bingo book at a later date.

Given that Hokage-sama wanted a psyche report and information she found he wouldn't be pleased with either. Kimimaro had an unhealthy obsession with Haku and Zabuza was relentlessly cold regarding her whenever she was brought up. Kiri was also a sore subject, but Haku was a spot neither could forget.

One effective way to get them to talk was to threaten Haku, albeit she was bluffing but she had to do what she had to do. Kimimaro spilled his guts the first time she threatened to have Naruto slit her throat. It took a few more tries with Zabuza but she made him squeal all the same.

Anko sighed. Honestly, there was no way they were becoming Konoha shinobi without serious reconditioning and maybe a memory seal or two for Kimimaro.

The door opened in her office and the blinders behind her dimmed a little as the Hokage walked in with his cane. Sitting down, Hiruzen waited for her to begin as she already had an idea of what he wanted, given the circumstances. Coughing into her hand she began, "Kimimaro and Zabuza Momichi are not fit for duty upon initial examination and upon further examination distributed by the Inoichi Clan, and coveted by myself."

Yes, she was trying to be more formal during her job. The single reason being she wanted to be accepted by Konan since she was Naruto's blood. It only made sense and it seemed the woman respected people who took their jobs seriously. Not that she didn't already.

"How much conditioning do you think is necessary, Anko-chan?"

Anko cupped her head with her hands, shaking her thoughts, she leaned back in her chair and stared to the ceiling.

Her files said two months... two months before the Chuunin Exams, but how much did they really need? How much time did she have to make sure Kimimaro was safe to be around along with Zabuza to ensure Haku's safety along with Naruto and Tenten? She ticked her tongue and tried to think, barring the files in front of her. She was sure if Kimimaro wasn't conditioned properly he would kill Naruto. But...

Her eyes opened as it hit her.

"Four months, Hokage-sama."

The Hokage seemed sceptical at first however as a moment passed and his face relaxed to his grandfatherly smile he nodded before leaving. 'Good, he thought, 'That will be enough time.'

Almost as if an afterthought he looked over his shoulder just before the door shut. "Thank you, Anko-chan. I'll give you new orders tomorrow. Have a good afternoon."

'Shlick', the door shut calmly and the sounds of footsteps echoed down the hall.

"Hai."

At the moment Naruto's family had gathered in one of Konoha's more astray parks as it was found in the lower-end districts of Konoha. And despite titles and appearances (Of the surrounding area) the park was beautiful, picked up after and it was a place where kids could go to play with a playground and picknick tables sitting in the centre of an arced forest.

"So are you dating my sochi?" Konan asked. The other members of Naruto's family were off talking with her son. So before they left she asked for the closest to Naruto to stay. Naturally, that left Haku and Tenten though she had to shoo some of the other's off. In any other situation she would have left them be and talked but that was not her purpose right now.

In response, Haku and Tenten's heads looked to one another and they both wondered who she meant.

Until she clarified, "Are both of you his partners?"

"I like to think we are," Haku answered, her mask was off and the sun gently framed her face. In return giving her a peaceful aura that Tenten easily reciprocated. In fact, every member of their family had their masks off making them glow brighter against the sun.

"Does he consider you his?"

Tenten shrugged and smiled sombrely. "Naruto-kun loves us both." Konan noticed her glance over to the other group of kids sitting away from them and then Haku's subtle sigh.

"He does, truly. He doesn't touch other girls and we're the only ones he looks at with..." Haku blushed at the thought but stopped when Konan held her hand up. Thankfully. She would love to talk about how Naruto looks at them with Tenten but others... She coughed into her hand and continued, "We were told about love from Anko-nee and... ano," Tenten popped a surprised look, Haku rarely if ever stuttered. "I-I love him. I can't speak for Ten-chan but I do."

"I do. I have no doubts about that," Tenten said with conviction.

Haku smiled softly.

"But are you his officially? Have you spoken to Naruto-kun about dating?"

Tenten shook her head. "No we're waiting for him to ask."

Konan raised a questioning eye and a coy smile crossed her face as she placed a hand on her cheek, a look of content. Oh, so it was this situation was it? She remembered when this happened with Minato-kun. Such fun memories. Shrugging mentally, Konan admitted the age difference was there but it was almost the same. Although she had to hold back a snarl at another... red-haired side of the memory. After a moment she reigned herself in reattaching her apathetic facade but with a very small smile she decided to give them some advice.

"Have you thought that he may already consider you two to be his girlfriends because he loves you and you love him? It's possible knowing his father. Minato-kun thought I was already his when I said I loved him and it nearly drove me mad when he would say 'I love you' but nothing after." The small nostalgia caused her coy smile to turn sombre as she remembered Minato.

Both of them had curious looks about them. Tenten more than Haku.

"That's probably the case. Huh, he was never very good at these things. The only places he's had to learn about these things were from Anko-nee or our family and our family doesn't really know much as it is."

"Oh? Where did you learn them?" Konan was interested now.

Tenten started, "When I was in the Orphanage there were a lot of the older crowd that would talk about dating."

"Your first was with Naruto-kun then?"

Nodding, Tenten motioned for Haku to start but when she saw the red hue dawn on Haku's cheeks Tenten wondered what she said however Haku beat her to it.

"You made love with him?" Haku's eyes were narrowing dangerously and her jaw tightened visibly for her to see as Tenten squirmed under her gaze and a chill ran up her spine before she realized what she said.

"N-no! My first kiss!" Waving her hands she tried to reassure her.

Haku huffed putting a hand to her chest as she breathed easy. "Be careful. I thought you broke our promise."

A beautiful blue brow rose. "What promise?"

To their credit, either girl looked almost sheepish. From that alone they hadn't expected for their secret to be found out so easily. Tenten flicked Haku's forehead as she faced Konan, an amused expression.

Tenten's cheeks tinted red and Haku rubbed her forehead. "We," the girl looked away, "promised to give our virginity to him when we were sixteen."

"That's a bold move," Konan commented.

"Look, we're fine with sharing. We've had this discussion a long time ago after Anko-nee told us about 'the birds and the bees'," Tenten said with verdict.

"I'm not going to discourage you. You two have been there for him and that's all I can ask. Now though, have you thought about the consequences...? If anything goes wrong?" she said.

Affirming Konan's desires Haku did so with a calm aura as she remembered the fun times they had with Naruto over the years. "Pregnancy is always an issue but I want my first time to be natural. After that we can use contraceptives, but for my first I think it is only right nothing is between us."

"And of your career? They won't allow pregnant women to serve and with Naruto going on missions, you will be forced to stay home while he's away. From what I see you're deeply attached to Naruto-kun as is. Are you sure you will be able to handle the loneliness of his absence?"

"I'm aware," Tenten answered. "I'm of the same mind as Haku-chan."

"You both are willing to do something like that and leave him without his team?" Konan's voice was cool, collected, no hint of a smile on her face, replaced with her level-headed mask they had come accustomed to.

She received slight cringes from them, more-so with Tenten as Haku chose to exclude a sad air instead. Konan gave them a cool head to think with. Parent or not, hell, adult or not most didn't think of the consequences, only up to when the deed happened did they actually think of what could become of such a thing.

Don't mistake her. She approved. But first came thought then action just like on the battlefield one had to have a cool mind and an objective goal they were working for to think of every possible situation and if these girls weren't able to see she would have to be their eyes.

Love is blind after all and with them being growing teenagers what's worse than growing and having your loved one be something they're not?

Both were women she could depend on to be strong and she had no right to tell them about exclusivity. Not with her position so skewed.

Haku was a young woman she knew would be faithful. Someone Naruto described as being a mother-hen in her absence and before she appeared. Dotingly attached to him she could see issues if she was left alone and Naruto was on a mission. Cheating was out of the question but with that Kimimaro boy in the village Konan didn't trust him to keep his hands to himself while Haku's defenses were weakened. Not after she saw that look in his eye on their way back and the story Haku indulged her with as the stare nearly matched hers when the Kyuubi was sealed into her son. Disturbed. Disquieted. Not only that but she saw the way Danzo lingered his eye towards her like she was some experiment.

Two things Haku needed to consider, even in passing. The message being look underneath the underneath; a saying that was popular among the ranks.

Tenten on the other hand was lucky in that she wouldn't have a stalker trying to get near her but Danzo was still a problem. His wanting to breed and enslave loyalty was worrisome and his approaches would be cumbersome to their relationship if she allowed. Though, Tenten was devoted to Konan's son and by the time they were sixteen they would most likely either be Chuunin or Jounin which meant they would be able to defend themselves and would work with other teams so what she said earlier wasn't entirely valid yet the message was still the same...or she just needed it to sound so.

Everything seems so perfect at first, but after what are the possibilities? Nothing sexually transmitted but what would happen after they fucked during a mission and things suddenly became awkward for them and they couldn't work together as well or one of the girls couldn't move because they were too sore. What if's made the scenario that much more real yet even so... even if these two girls happened to make love with her son she was sure they would do so responsibly... and off mission.

Though there was one thing that could break anyone. Loneliness. Being left alone without faith and trust could break just about anyone if they weren't strong enough.

"If you need more advice on these things please come talk to me. I've lived a long life and I know much. And please have Anko-chan come as well so we can straighten some... facts."

As they nodded she smiled lightly and pulled the two of them in for a hug.

"You know, you two can call me Kaa-chan. I don't mind having a Musume, or two."

Haku bitterly shut her eyes as she remembered a blurred figure in snow. Tears pricked her eyes and it took Konan wiping them away for her to regain some composure as she buried her head into her neck. Haku wouldn't forget her mother but she could accept someone new into that role. Meanwhile Tenten had already latched on and had just held herself close.

Both girls had lived without a parent for so long and with her there maybe things could go easier. But even so her position wasn't solidified. They didn't trust her. Things would be difficult. But, she was making progress and it wouldn't be for long until they fully accepted her. Until then she would just have to slowly bring herself back into the life of being a mother.

Naruto worked against Konohamaru as they arm-wrestled. Cheek by jowl their family watched, Hanabi standing behind her friend as he visibly tensed and attempted to pull with all his might behind it as Naruto smirked and let his arm go with him before he caught himself just before his wrist touched the table.

Shikamaru scoffed while everyone else watched in tense silence as Konohamaru growled and nearly stood to push his arm down. Thud! His eyes widened and he yelped in pain. Across the table was his hand smacked red against the table. Naruto won.

Smiling lightly to Konohamaru as he felt two sets of arms wrap around his shoulders he offered some 'advice', "If you want to beat me you have to learn how to lock," he riddled.

"How do you do that?"

Naruto leaned forward, his breath came to lick at Konohamaru's skin before he whispered, "Secret."

Apparently, Tenten and Haku heard him because they both smacked his head as he laughed and cried for them to stop as all the others laughed at his predicament. Most stopped when they heard the chiming laugh of Konan ring like a small bell in the wind. Mind you, it wasn't long nor loud but it was distinct and Konan held a hand over her mouth at their antics as if to silence it.

All his friends including Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Konohamaru, Itsuki, and even Hanabi stopped and listened. Sunlight pressed against her face as the wind blew her hair and the paper flower weaved into her hair shifted like dancing grass in the wind.

Itsuki leaned to Shikamaru, his black shinobi garb looser fitting now. "That's Naruto-kun's Okaa-san?"

"Hai. Not much resemblance is there?"

Itsuki shook his head. "No, I'm afraid not. Whoever his father was must've been a dominatrix in the gene department."

Knitting his brows together and cringing slightly, Shikamaru gave Itsuki a disturbed stare.

"What?"

"Do you even know what you just said?"

"Somewhat. Tou-san talks a lot about genes and how I got most of mine from Kaa-san."

"Then what about that other... thing?" Shikamaru wasn't usually driven to silence but this was one of those few times.

Itsuki seemed to think about it as Naruto was back in his seat with Haku and Tenten, his mother was joining them.

"My Tou-san calls my Kaa-san that every once in a while, I don't know." He shrugged. "It just seemed to fit."

Shikamaru eyed him along with Chouji and Ino, who had apparently eavesdropped their conversation. The wind blew a sweet song into their ears, shaking Shikamaru's spiked ponytail and soaring over Itsuki's swept back brown hair. Shikamaru had been given the talk along with Ino and Chouji their Dads. Haku, Tenten, and Naruto also had received the talk after Anko had embarrassed them about their coming for help but the one person he thought would know about sex didn't know? For Kami's sake, his father was a pharmacist!

Shikamaru sighed as his thoughts went back and forth between the responsibilities of parents and the laziness of Itsuki's father and mother.

Then suddenly, Anko appeared decked in her usual outfit and almost immediately she hugged the trio from behind.

Turning to Itsuki, Shikamaru couldn't believe he was about to do this but he had no choice. "Itsuki."

The boy turned to meet his eye. "Hm? Yes?" Itsuki smiled a little.

"Do you know about the birds and the bees?"

"...No...? What's that?"

Shikamaru's brow ticked as that was exactly what he didn't want to happen. "Shit... I think it's best if you go ask Anko what the Birds and the Bees are."

The poor boy nodded and Shikamaru watched him walk off. Though when he saw Itsuki was about and just about to pat Anko's shoulder Shikamaru gave out and stopped him. He sighed, mumbling to himself the insanity.

He gave Itsuki a straight face and wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"Troublesome," he sighed. "You need to go to your parents and have them talk to you about the Birds and the Bees."

"Alright?" Itsuki gave him a strange look but nodded nonetheless.

Shortly after, Ibiki showed with a file in hand but Naruto didn't pay him mind, he was just bringing work with him and since the Hokage had given them time to reprieve Ibiki had handed over his team to Konan to see what she could do with them.

But not only that, Naruto figured it had to do with seeing what his Mom would do as well and though he wasn't privy to that information he gathered she was in a trial period where one wrong move would equate to her being killed. He wasn't an idiot. Haku and Tenten both saw what happened between the Hokage and his mom and they shared their ideas with him while they were training when Konan wasn't there; several ideas at a time.

One of the more popular ones was the notion mentioned beforehand since she must've left because of something horrible and it only made to make them suspicious of her. The other ideas were more speculation, and on a level conspiracy.

Naruto wanted nothing more than to know what happened to put his mind at rest.

"How has my team been?"

Each at the table peered up to a grinning Ibiki. "They are exceptionally quick-minded and clever. Arigatou, Ibiki-san for taking care of them," Konan said soflty, head bowed slightly. "They didn't have quite a large repertoire of skills so I am expanding on them while I am able."

Nodding, Ibiki sat next to Konan, succinctly establishing the interrogation.

That's right. Naruto nor anyone was fooled. Only the younger playing on the swings.

While Haku, Tenten, and his mother were talking he brought everyone else up to date about their situation and Konan.

Ibiki grinned a little like a jackal, a smile that didn't look natural nor right on his face having seen his true smile in the past.

"Am I allowed to know?"

"If it pleases you."

"It does." There was a twinge in his voice, an emphasis on 'does' which each picked up on.

Shikamaru, Ino, Itsuki, Chouji, Anko, and even Konohamaru could hear it. All of them stopped at the behest of the tensing atmosphere. Anko in particular crossed her arms and sighed as she leaned against a tree and waited. Shikamaru pulled the others away just enough to appear like they weren't listening but only just.

Konan clapped her hands together and put on her best 'excited face'. She turned to Naruto.

"Why don't you show him some of your new interrogation methods?"

Naruto tilted his head and looked to Ibiki, his smile falling. "We're going to need someone to practice on to draw full effect."

Then Ibiki left and the situation cooled. For a time things seemed alright as Konan quickly reminded them of some of the more 'fun' tricks she showed them. From wire's choking their victim to hooking their shoulder blades and letting them hang as they dislocated, Naruto asked where she learned and her response was from a sick imagination and test subjects when she lived in Konoha.

That comment elicited shivers from Ino and Chouji with Konohamaru and Hanabi barely out of range.

Once Ibiki arrived Naruto, Haku, and Tenten felt ready and their eyes dulled just as they were taught. The person Ibiki brought was a woman who had been charged with treason for trading Konoha secrets to one of the lesser villages. Her sentence was execution, which for their purposes was favorable. There was no need to hold back and quick deaths were never a good way to deter crime.

That, little ones was taught by Ibiki and then reinforced by Konan.

Throwing the woman to her back they each saw the woman was beaten and had a black bag over her head and dressed in rags.

"You may begin." Ibiki looked to the others and pointed to Konohamaru and Hanabi. "You two don't need to see this. You're too young."

The others agreed and Ino left to see them off by walking them home. Truth be told, she didn't want to see it either though she masked it beautifully.

Seeing the others go Naruto ticked his tongue and kissed Haku and Tenten before he strutted to the woman.

"Please! I was set-up! The whole thing was a set-up! I-I neve—oh!" The woman gasped for breath as Naruto rammed his foot into her stomach.

Haku and Tenten were quick to follow as they walked around her like predators. Narutos' family sat down at the picnic table and watched. Some with larger reactions than others.

Ibiki didn't seem impressed until Tenten picked the woman up by her collar and pressed her roughly against a tree, the sound of bark scraping skin coupled with groans in pain sent a shiver down Chouji's spine.

Naruto leaned in real close, just enough to let her feel the tingle of his breath and the coldness of his heart. "I don't care what you did. I'm going to cut you. Your little whore mouth is going to squeal when we're through with you."

Then Haku joined, the lifeless eyes dull like fog. Her voice was soft, the opposite of Naruto while Tenten was a perfect balance in between.

"Naru-chan, do you have those wires? I really want to see our little pet on a leash."

"I do. Ten-chan do you want to cut her first or do you want to Haku-chan? Of course..."

Naruto stabbed the woman in her shoulder. Painful amounts of blood spouted like a geyser as Haku finished tying the woman to the tree.

Konan smiled as Ibiki nodded. He wasn't impressed yet since this was what he showed them but for now he would indulge.

Tenten licked her lips and as Haku finished and the blood stopped pumping out she quickly snaked her arm to the shoulder before she whistled and jammed three fingers into the gored hole. She twisted and turned while the woman groaned and attempted to break out as she screamed murder.

Haku took hold of her face. Her voice was gentle. "Sh, quiet little one. We will be gentle... If you can tell us what you did. Otherwise~" Haku let it hang. In one hand was ninja wire and it was wrapped around the victim. Normally it would be used to trap someone and was adjustable for effect purposes. It was something most Shinobi would use but with a flick of her wrist she could send the woman to pieces—something most Shinobi used as well.

To give a taste she flicked a single wire that was connected to the woman's shins.

Her shin gave out and a disgusting crunch chuckled in the air. Chakra was used to tighten the wire at a surreal level and with her own strength added she could easily rip the woman's legs off.

Naruto and Tenten had to hold back their stomachs as they saw a puddle gather at their feet and a dark spot on the woman's rag-like clothing.

"Awe, did our pet just have an accident?"

Naruto nodded as he hollowly chuckled, looking to Tenten. A kunai spun in hand.

"We're going to give you a chance," she paused, framing the woman's face as if she were a dear friend. "We don't believe you did it," Haku whispered.

Her eyes were still dull and she garnered a sick smile as she said, "If you tell us everything we will pay for a mission to look into your case."

The woman seemed to gain some hope. "R-really? Really!?"

Haku's eyes shut but the smile remained. "Maybe. Talking would be wise, after all, my friends aren't so patient and they like to play with their pets."

The sounds of two kunai 'Shinged' in her ear. Steel touched her stomach and the woman gasped. It was dragging up yet it wasn't rising with her skin, it was going lower as Naruto dug deeper. Just before pierced her skin she broke

"A-alright! Just please don't kill me! Okay? I didn't do it!"

Tenten's smile dropped and, much to everyone's surprise except Konan's and Ibiki's, she roared into the woman's ear as she dropped everything she knew, the puddle beneath her growing.

Every last bit of a deal that had conjured the woman to being innocent.

Naruto's family could only smile and Ibiki had something else to report to the Hokage.

Most people, after an ordeal like she had experienced, would tell her interrogators to leave her alone. Well, she wasn't most people and soon she arrived at a peculiar scene stranger than she thought possible. The head interrogator sat in her own chair beside her bed while the room was bathed in an orange light. Anko was garbed in her usual wear with her headband hanging around her neck like a necklace.

"Sumimasen, we are sorry you had to go through with that. It was a terrible mistake and we are glad our students handled the situation so professionally."

"That was professional?" The woman's voice wasn't mocking, simply curious.

Anko nodded to which the woman smiled warmly, though she winced at the pain in her shins and a shadow throb going across like webbing around her body. "It was an impromptu test Hokage-sama wanted to have done to gauge where they are."

"But hai, they were professional, our interrogators are taught to seek the truth even after the verdict until the order is carried out which is why it is difficult to switch interrogators once they are assigned because if the notes that were taken weren't transferred the process starts again. That was the case with you and our students. They only heard what the verdict was but they had no context."

The woman's brows furrowed. "But Shinobi are required to follow orders, yes?"

Again, Anko nodded. "That's true. However, for the Interrogator Corps we like to take initiative and search for ourselves since your actual date of execution wasn't until next month. Something one of the students, Haku Uzumaki picked up on."

A blush snuck up on her... She hadn't intended to put it that way but that's how it came out damn it!

"Can you tell her thank you when you see her next? In fact, tell all of them thank you. It really means something."

"Hai." Anko stood and was about to leave the room when a thought struck her. Turning back to the woman she gave one last food for thought. "I'd be very grateful when you meet them next. Maybe a hug because that was just the beginning of their capabilities. Be glad they held back."

"I will."

Zabuza glared hatefully at his cell-wall. Kimimaro copied his master.

Both snarled and turned to see their cells opening. It was time.

Hopefully you all enjoyed!
