It was an off day for the both of them since they had a break from the academy for a couple of weeks, now that they were eight "What do you want to do Sakura" Suigetsu asked in a bored tone of voice as they lounged on the roof of his house.
She slanted him a look from her spot, then shrugged "Training is out since Mangetsu-san is off on a mission, Chojuro-senpai went with him and Auntie Mei is busy like usual so that leaves hmm wandering the village" Sakura ticked off her fingers before finally suggesting something.
Her friend sat up narrowing his purple irises on her "Seriously that's all you can come up with, how about pranking someone or..or escaping the village for awhile" the pale blue haired boy offered with a pointy toothed smile.
Emerald orbs shot his way again before widening "Escaping the village….you know that does sort of sound like fun" the pinkette breathed knowing that they were going to get into so much trouble for this stunt, that's if they made it by the guards at the gates.
Regardless of her internal feelings they both stood and jumped to the ground landing gracelessly on their feet, they were still training to be ninja after all, with determination in their gait they set off towards the Mist Village's light blue gates.
To their luck there wasn't a guard in sight to stop them and quickly sped outside the village for the first time in their lives, "Ooh look at that Sakura-chan" Suigetsu immediately darted towards a swamp grabbing up a stick as he went to poke the murky green water.
With a roll of her eyes she hurried after him "Yeah it's a swamp not that interesting, not like this though" Sakura held up a mushroom, being careful with it before setting it back down, Suigetsu scoffed but they moved on.
Branching out to other things and getting further away from the village until they realized it was almost dinner "Uh-oh we're gonna be in so much trouble" the pale blue haired boy gulped knowing they wouldn't make it back in time.
Sakura's skin paled "Might be an understatement Suigetsu, Auntie Mei has a very scary temper" the fuscia haired girl gulped as they started their trek back to the village, unlike when they'd left, upon their return they weren't so lucky.
As Mei was waiting for them with the most furious expression "JUST WHAT DID YOU TWO THINK YOU WERE DOING LEAVING THE VILLAGE WITHOUT SUPERVISION" Mei bellowed launching into an angry tirade at the two mischievous eight year old's.
Causing them to flinch "Never in all my life, did I honestly believe you would do something so stupid as that, Sakura, Suigetsu, you are forbidden from hanging out for a week, now come along Sakura it's dinner time and Suigetsu your brother is back from his mission" the auburn haired woman ordered.
Grimacing the pair waved goodbye to each other "Idiot" Mangetsu snorted when his brother showed up at their house "Now you see why I don't incite Mei's wrath" he stated simply then pointed at a chair as he finished making dinner.
"Yeah but I didn't think she'd blow that much of a gasket over it" Suigetsu sulked plopping down "And did she have to ban us from hanging out" he complained not liking that he wouldn't get to see his only friend for an entire week.
Mangetsu raised a white brow "Now you know and that's because it was probably your idea, don't do something reckless like that again or next time you'll go longer without seeing Sakura-san" the white haired twenty nine year tapped his brother on the head.
~Across the village~
Sakura was still getting an earful "What prompted you to do that anyway" Mei was clearly not impressed with her niece's sudden interest in breaking the rules, she'd told the girl to never, ever leave the village unless someone was with her and Suigetsu didn't count.
The girl slumped further in her chair pouting and unable to meet her Aunt's gaze, "Thought it would be fun…it's not like we went very far Auntie Mei and we didn't mean to stay out so long, there was just so many interesting things" Sakura admitted quietly.
Not wanting anymore yelling to go on and for the tension to go away, Mei sighed and shook her head unable to truly stay mad at her sister's daughter "Right well next time you get one of your wild idea's tell me please" the auburn haired woman stressed.
Immediately Sakura perked up "Does that mean we can go outside again so long as we tell you Auntie Mei, by the way that was Suigetsu's idea" the pinkette asked excitedly before telling her aunt who's idea it was that they go outside the village.
An angry ticked formed on her brow and she struggled to get her temper under control "Yes, but keep in mind that there will be someone accompanying you and if there's no one to keep an eye on you two, you will not be going outside the village" Mei said sternly.
"You got it Auntie Mei, do we really have to go a week without hanging out" Sakura asked suddenly and amusement flickered in Mei's green irises, nothing more was said on the subject and she assumed that yes she had to go that long as she ate dinner and headed to bed.
Before Suigetsu and Sakura knew it that week had passed "Finally, kami it was agony trying to find something fun to do without you around Sakura" the pale blue haired boy grumbled as they were finally allowed to hang out again with only a week left of their break.
"No kidding and Auntie Mei dragged me around with her all week" the fuscia haired girl huffed, though she'd had a lot of fun spending time with her aunt because she hadn't gotten to spend that much time with her since she was super little.
Purple orbs widened "So now that we're back together, what do you want to do" Suigetsu asked flippantly, the same question that had gotten them into trouble the week before and she narrowed her eyes on him.
Then sniffed daintily "Train with Mangetsu-san, that way it will keep us out of trouble" Sakura stated simply staring her friend down until he submitted and with that they sought out their usual sensei in the shinobi arts.
He wasn't exactly surprised to see them when they appeared before him wearing matching hopeful expression, more Sakura than his brother, who was somewhat sulking by the droop of his shoulders, though he was clearly excited as well "Okay what do you two want" Mangetsu asked.
Their expressions shifted "Could you show us how we learn what our element is, more myself than Suigetsu cause since he's a Hozuki, water nature is in his nature" the pinkette chattered then looked to her feet in embarrassment.
As her friend laughed and she elbowed him roughly in the side until he winced "Yeah and then show us a couple of jutsu, our sensei at the academy said that it was time to start learning that stuff anyway so we figured might as well start early like we have everything else" the eight year old boy rambled.
Before the two friends shared amused smiles at their antics, Mangetsu closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose and blew out a semi-annoyed sigh "Very well but I have to buy something, stay put" the white haired male ordered sternly before stalking off.
Fifteen minutes later he was back with a tag-along "O..Oh S..Sakura-san, S..Su..Suigetsu-san what are you d..doing at th..the training grounds" Chojuro questioned eyeing the duo of eight year old's who looked ready to start bouncing around all over the place.
"Mangetsu-san is gonna teach us how to find out what our chakra natures are and a couple of jutsu" Sakura blurted out happily eager to get started on her elemental training, at least this way they'd be prepared and slightly ahead of their classmates.
Who didn't really take the curriculum seriously like they/she did mostly "Yeah and then we'll probably go to the library and study til our heads explode" Suigetsu bounced up and down and Chojuro eyed him warily.
"R..Right b..best of luck to y..you two then" the blue haired teen said nervously then vanished to their amusement, Sakura and Suigetsu shook their heads, he was way to timid, despite being a member of the Legendary Swordsmen group at his young age.
Then they set their attention on the adult, who gave them a snort "To learn your chakra natures, you have to gather chakra into this piece of paper, depending on what it does, get wet, crumble, crinkle, burn or tear that's your element got it" Mangetsu handed over two slips of paper.
Chakra nature sensing paper to be precise, both eight year old's stared at the paper with matching contemplative expression "I'll go first I guess" the girl he'd been helping to watch since she was an itty bitty baby announced.
Focusing her chakra just like they'd been taught at the beginning of that year into the paper, where it promptly got wet then crumbled, peridot orbs nodded having expected that much before glancing to her friend.
"My turn then" the pale blue haired boy sighed and quickly did as she had, where his paper immediately got wet, then tore signaling he had water and wind, unlike his friend who had water and earth natured chakra.
Now they knew what their chakra natures were, so it was time to learn a couple of jutsu "Okay, I'll only be able to teach you some water jutsu, if you want to learn wind or earth find someone with that nature and ask them" the white haired adult admitted.
But it didn't seem like they were to put out, as they sat waiting patiently "First is Suiton: Shotgun Jutsu" Mangetsu went through the hand signs, molding his chakra properly then took aim at a target and loosed the jutsu.
Which sailed through the air like a projectile weapon and shattered the wooden target from the force and power behind the jutsu, both children stared in awe and he was feeling pretty smug as he had them stand and attempt the jutsu themselves.
They didn't know how this was going to go exactly but they'd wanted this training so now they had to stick with it "Suiton: Shotgun Jutsu" Sakura didn't hesitate in going through the hand signs she'd memorized for the jutsu and then took aim like Mangetsu had.
However it didn't go exactly as planned, while she was able to mold her chakra properly, there wasn't any force or power which led her to wonder exactly what she'd done wrong "My turn, my turn Suiton: Shotgun Jutsu" Suigetsu burst forward going through the hand signs.
His attempt was much different as he managed to make a crack in the target, Sakura frowned mulling over the jutsu, then trying it again, on the second attempt she managed to put a little power behind the jutsu by adding a little more chakra.
Mangetsu was surprised that she'd figured out the problem without asking him to tell her and with that he moved onto the next jutsu "Suiton: Bubble Jutsu" the twenty nine year old breathed out a stream of bubbles.
That crashed into a target destroying it to smithereens like his other jutsu had, this time Sakura was a little more prepared as she stepped up "Okay right Suiton: Bubble Jutsu" the pinkette weaved the hand signs, held her breath, molded her chakra to just the right amount.
And let loose, this time her jutsu was affective and nearly destroyed the entire target "W..Wow scary, anyway it's my turn" the pale blue haired eight year old shuddered taking his turn at the jutsu before they realized they were running out chakra and decided to stop for the day.
With a snort their trainer left them on their own for the most part "Do you want to spar or wander and see what the shops have to offer" Sakura asked looking bored now, it was still so early in the morning after all.
"I hope the academy never gives us this long of a break again cause this freaking sucks, and yeah lets do that, wander I mean" Suigetsu groaned following after his friend, neither of them realizing that Mangetsu headed after them when they weren't paying any attention.
He followed all around the village, mentally noting down which shops peaked their interest the most, ninja gear, clothing, bookstore and most surprising of all the little herb pharmacy "Interesting" Mangetsu mused to himself.
Keeping an eye on the duo until an emergency arose then he had to abandon his two charges and head for the village gates where a commotion was going on "H..Help w..we need help" two young boys that were as different as day and night had collapsed.
Not long after they were taken to the hospital and that's when his little charges found him "Something going on Mangetsu-san" the pinkette inquired carefully sensing tension in the air and feeling wary like something bad was going to happen.
Unsure of what to tell her Mangetsu pressed his lips together "You might be getting two new classmates" Mei miraculously appeared to ward off the questions her niece was asking of Mangetsu and he thanked her with a smile.
Causing a small tint of pink to spread across her cheeks that he definitely noticed "Who" the pale blue haired boy tilted his head to the side in confusion, this was perhaps the strangest two weeks they've had in the entirety of their lives.
Mei sighed softly "Two boys they gave their names as Haku Yuki and Kimimaro Kaguya, both of them are a few years older than yourselves but they will still have to go through the academy, they might even be put in your year" the auburn haired woman explained.
Giving away some information but not all "How about their injuries Mei" the white haired male questioned, they'd been in quite the state after all, and the medics were lacking in skill to say the least, she shook her head and his line of questioning was dropped.
Especially as he ushered the two eight year old's away from the hospital and back down the streets bribing them he'd buy whatever they wanted so long as it was within reason and in the price range he gave them 500 ryo max each.
Sensing they wouldn't get anymore information than that, the two friends relented "Okay Mangetsu-san, but I want a pack of senbon needles and a medical textbook" Sakura announced already knowing what she wanted.
"Yeah, yeah and I want some shuriken and new sandals" Suigetsu jumped on board and he was immensely thankful they weren't trying to burn a hole in his wallet by using all 500 ryo he said he'd use for both of them.
Relieved they headed to the market "There you go brats now shoo and don't bother me for the rest of the day" Mangetsu ushered the duo off promising to watch them from the shadows as they traipsed back to the training grounds to train.
And a week later after training in all manners of things to improve their skills their two week break was over so it was back to the academy for them, partway through the first lesson the door slid open and Mangetsu appeared.
Excited chatter filled the air from their classmates because on his heels were two young boys that looked to only be eleven "Pardon my intrusion sensei, but these two are being put in your class" the Hozuki pointed at the duo.
"Is that so, very well come forward, state your names, then sit down, you'll have to share books until your able to get some" the sensei ordered a lot rougher than they'd expected, he'd heard about their arrival.
But neither of them were cowardly "My name is Kimimaro Kaguya" the white haired, green eyed eleven year old stated simply, then his gaze honed in on the farthest back row, where two friends sat and headed their way.
Suigetsu and Sakura stood to let him in so he was sitting on the end of the row while the other boy took his turn introducing himself "Haku Yuki that's all" the raven haired doe eyed eleven year old said then followed after the only person he truly knew.
With that all four of them were crowded into the same row, their sensei raised a brow, snorted and then launched back into his interrupted lecture, Mangetsu shook his head nodded at the two brats he watched and left.
During lunch Haku and Kimimaro followed after their row mates "Oi what do we do Sakura" Suigetsu glanced back at the slightly older duo, they weren't exactly being secretive after all as they hurried towards the roof.
"Let them join us of course, we have plenty enough to share since they don't have bento's of their own" Sakura snorted lightly, proving to be kind even to strangers, she'd always been like that if he was being honest.
Just like that the two older boys found themselves on the roof sharing lunch with their two younger classmates "Thank you very much u..um Sakura-san" Haku was polite as he thanked the pink haired girl for the food.
"Yes thank you both" Kimimaro nodded, then without another word dug in, honestly surprised that the village was welcoming him despite knowing who he was or rather what clan he came from, especially after the massacre.
Both eight year old's shrugged "Eh Sakura-chan's to nice for her own good sometimes and since your new the least we could do is be helpful, just don't expect to get half our bento's all the time" the pale blue haired boy said.
Then his friend scuffed him over the back of the head "I'll have my Aunt make two extra bento's just in case" the pinkette sent an exasperated glare at the boy she'd befriended then went right back to eating.
Kimimaro and Haku shared a look then let little smiles form on their lips "Still we thank you" the raven haired eleven year old nodded in thanks taking a sip of the tea that had been offered to him in a small cup.
"Yes for we thought we would be cast out of the village upon being healed" the snowy haired boy explained carefully, not revealing the truth as he wasn't sure if he could and that's how they spent the entirety of lunch, getting to know one another.
That day after academy let out Sakura and Suigetsu walked away with not one, but two new friends that they were determined to keep because they didn't have anyone else to hang out with or cause mischief with.
~Meanwhile~
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Asagao didn't have the same luck as his twin, those two weeks she got a break, he didn't and it was like hell as the sensei prepared them for the long road of being shinobi, some of their classes were more intense and no longer did they have theory.
"Ne, ne Sasuke, Asagao you wanna skip our mathematics lesson" Naruto whispered sitting on the other side of the pink haired boy, who kept him and Sasuke apart for good reason, even if they were friends, they still fought like cats and dogs.
His suggestion made one of the two boys roll their eyes while the other sighed "Don't you want to become a ninja Naruto" Asagao questioned concerned for the blonde boy who had horrendously bad grades and was an all around troublemaker.
Beside him his first friend snorted "Yeah how can you become the Hokage if you don't pay attention and skip all the time and get horrible grades" Sasuke smirked knowing just what to say to get the boy all riled up.
Which undoubtedly interrupted Iruka's lecture "Okay you three that is the fifth time this morning, you'll stay after class and clean up as punishment for interrupting" Iruka barked out, Sasuke and Asagao paled while Naruto sulked.
"Man my mom is going to kill me" the pink haired boy groaned putting his head in his hands and looking outright miserable, this was his third detention and the rant he'd gotten for getting the first one was bad, now it was going to be even worse.
Sasuke sighed "And mines gonna neuter me" the raven haired boy grimaced knowing how temperamental both his mother and his friends mother was, they were scary when they teamed up on them especially when things like this happened.
It was all the Dope's fault "Hahaha you guys lucky me I don't have anyone to get scolded by" the blonde sniggered unsympathetically and looked away, missing the looks Sasuke and Asagao sent at each other.
The day wore on after that and before they knew it, it was time for their punishment and before their mutual friend could flee they grabbed him by the jacket collar "Not happening Dope, your gonna help us clean since it's partially your fault we got in trouble" Sasuke pointed to a broom.
Grudgingly the boy grabbed the cleaning object and started sweeping "And your going to accompany us to both our homes and explain to our mothers why we were late in returning and listen to the lecture they give" Asagao finished.
Leaving a pouting blonde boy "So unfair you guys are mean" Naruto pouted, but his puppy eyes look wasn't having any affect on his only two friends, not like it ever had before, but he didn't want to get scolded.
Unfortunately when they got done cleaning the classroom under their sensei's supervision, a scolding is exactly what he got because as soon as they left the academy two women were waiting for the trio of boys.
Hands on their hips and unimpressed looks on their faces "Asagao Haruno want to tell me whats going on" Mebuki tapped her foot staring at her son impatiently lips thinned and emerald orbs narrowed with fury.
Asagao gulped quietly "We got in trouble again for talking in class all three of us Mom and had to stay after class to clean up the classroom as punishment" the pink haired boy admitted knowing that it was utterly useless.
"Just as we suspected right Mebuki, honestly you boys, right then come along Sasuke-chan you'll be subjected to shuriken jutsu lessons for the rest of the week and no hanging out with either of your friends" Mikoto clicked her tongue in disappointment.
Reaching forward to grab her youngest by his ear "Ow, ow Mother that hurts" the raven haired boy moaned pitifully as she started dragging him down the streets, Naruto staring in horror because he hadn't thought the woman would be that mad.
"Let this be a lesson Sasuke-chan and we're going to the compound just like this, so steel your nerves or otherwise you'll be embarrassed" the ebony haired Uchiha Matriarch scolded something fierce as she drug her son away.
Naruto eeped quietly in fear and hid behind his remaining friend when viridian orbs focused on him "Naruto-san correct, for instigating no doubt, you'll be helping Asagao do all the laundry at both ours and yours is that understood" the blonde woman raised a brow.
Sufficiently cowed into submission by his friends mom their wrists were snagged and drug through the village to the civilian section to get started on their punishment, because in Mebuki's mind Naruto needed a firm hand to help raise him into a young gentlemen.
Their punishment lasted for three days straight, only because Naruto had a shit-ton of dirty laundry scattered all over his tiny apartment and every time they thought they were done Mebuki miraculously found another dirty clothing article.
That wasn't to say they saw Sasuke any when they were done and got to hang out under Mebuki's hawk like supervision she always knew when they were up to mischief and then finally the shackles on them were freed and Sasuke was allowed to hang out with them again.
"I think you've scared Naruto-kun, Mebuki-chan" Kizashi chortled in amusement as the boy all but fled from their home, after the two hour hang out time until it was time for dinner, in which she'd stuffed a plate of good home cooked food into Naruto's hands before he vanished.
She raised a brow then sniffed delicately working on her sewing project "Well at least he knows not to cause so much trouble now" the pale pink haired male shook his head glad that his son had two friends to count on now.
At the back of his mind deep in the recesses he wondered if his little girl had any friends or if she was alone with no one but her aunt, a topic that hadn't been brought up since the failed attempts of sending letters that were never sent, before it was time for bed where they all got some shut eye for the night.
Until it was back to class on Monday where the entirety of Iruka's class got an unexpected surprise including their sensei as he started off with his prepared history lecture only to be interrupted fifteen minutes in.
When his classroom door slid open and three people shuffled in "My apologies Iruka-san but you have two new students starting from today onwards" one of his fellow chunin pointed at the two eight year old blonde haired, hazel eyed girls.
"No, no it's quite alright, the more the merrier and we'll be sure to welcome them properly, come along you two, introduce yourselves if you would please and the rest of the class will do the same before I assign you seats" Iruka gestured the two girls towards him.
A little shyly at first because this was the first time they'd been in this sort of setting then confidently as their mother had taught them to be "I am Mamori Senju the oldest between the two of us, we're paternal twins" Mamori jut her chin out in defiance and glared around.
Daring the other kids to make fun of her, her or sister, otherwise they'd be met with her fists "A..And I'm Mimori Senju" Mimori piped in with a touch of a stutter before finishing strongly, then clutched onto her sisters hand.
"And they'll be here indefinitely" the chunin that had showed them the way there stated then vanished in a puff of smoke leaving Iruka to finishing getting the two girls settled into his class with the other students.
Iruka cleared his throat "Now if you don't mind you lot introduce yourselves as well" the brunet cast a look at his students that he'd had for three years now, immediately they did as he told them before he had the Mimori and Mamori sit in the row with Shino Aburame.
By the time it was lunch he'd gotten through more than he expected to get through with his lessons before releasing them to eat "Kami how cool is it that we got two new classmates" Asagao was pretty excited as they met on the roof of the academy to chatter amongst themselves.
"You know talking about us behind our backs is a good way to get on our bad sides" the slightly taller blonde haired girl appeared hearing the conversation and thinking that the three boys were badmouthing them already when they hadn't even done anything.
Asagao swung around and ducked on instinct reflex thinking he was going to be whacked "What are you doing" the younger, slightly shorter twin raised a brow finally finding her voice, but curious as to why the boy had flinched.
He laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head "That's cause his mom is scary" Naruto piped in with a shudder, never again would he ever cross Mebuki Haruno or Mikoto Uchiha, because like his friends told him they were scary and he never wanted to get scolded by them again.
"Please our Mom is way scarier I bet" Mamori snorted plopping down gracefully next to the remaining boy who had yet to say anything, though with the way he was giving them contemplative expression he was going to say something soon.
She wasn't wrong "How much do you want to bet on that" Sasuke narrowed his onyx irises on the girl next to him baiting her into riling herself up, what he didn't count on was that she was a lot more perceptive than she seemed and simply raised a brow with another snort.
While her sister giggled in amusement "No comparison cause our Mom is one of the Legendary Sannin, the Slug Princess and best medical ninja in the entire world, who utilizes chakra in her attacks" Mimori snickered flopping down.
Making the three boys pale because they'd once found a book on the Legendary Sannin "Okay never mind your Mom is way scarier than ours combined" the pink haired boy shuddered and quickly pulled out his lunch to eat.
Reminding the two girls they didn't have a bento "Here you two can share mine as I'm not very hungry now" the blue eyed blonde looked queasy as he held out his bento for the two girls even if Mebuki had painstakingly made it for him.
They looked a little guilty "We didn't mean to frighten you guys, plus you don't have to worry our Mom and Auntie Shizune are gone traveling from village to village we're being watched by the Hokage himself as he was Mom's old sensei" the taller hazel eyed girl apologized.
"Don't worry about it Mimori, Mamori, plus the Dope doesn't eat much food like this anyway" the ebony haired boy snorted already digging into his bento like his friend was, with that Naruto's held out lunch was taken.
And the two girls quickly went to town on it "Mm that was good, Mom's not a very good cook" the slightly shorter hazel eyed girl hummed placing the empty bento down, which was packed away into a back pack.
Before they knew it, it was time for their taijutsu lesson, where they began physically sparring with one another, everyone quickly learned to fear their new classmates as they hit hard despite it being light sparring.
Then it was time to go home, that day Naruto, Sasuke and Asagao walked away from the academy with two new friends, both of whom told their escort that they were going to hang out with the three boys and followed them all the way to the Uchiha Compound.
Where Sasuke's mother was surprised "I see you made new friends" Mikoto raised a brow and her youngest son turned to face her before nodding then a smile broke across his face and she couldn't ruin his excitement as they marched towards the back door and out into the backyard.
"Please tell me I didn't see what I think I just saw" Fugaku appeared, having caught sight of two new children traipsing after his youngest child, Mikoto laughed and pointed out the door where all five children could be seen playing tag.
Fugaku groaned "Has Sasuke-chan done something again to earn that kind of expression Uncle Fugaku" Shisui appeared in a flurry of leaves at the wrong moment because now Sasuke would undoubtedly be teased for making friends with girls.
After vehemently swearing that he would never do so, before Shisui could though the back of his shirt collar was snagged "Don't even think about it Shisui-san you and I have to pack for a mission" Itachi reminded sternly.
Mikoto sighed "Be safe you two and come home" the raven haired matriarch hugged her first born child and nephew before sending them off to pack, Fugaku sighed and pressed his hands lightly to her shoulders.
"They'll be fine Mikoto, both of them are reasonable and know when a mission is to dangerous to precede" the graying brunet assured carefully not use to being such an attentive husband, but after the scare from a couple months ago, he wasn't taking anymore chances.
Soon both teenagers returned with packs slung over their shoulders "Tell Sasuke-chan that teasing is definitely in the works for making friends with girls when we get back, see ya Auntie Mikoto, Uncle Fugaku" the flamboyant Uchiha waved then vanished in a puff of smoke.
Itachi pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation over his best friends antics "I'll try to reign him in, tell Otouto I'll be back in a week with a souvenir if I remember" then the Uchiha heir was gone in a flurry of crow feathers to begin their week long B rank mission.
Not long after that it was time for the children to disperse to their own homes and one of them got a plate of food pushed into his hands before she sent them off, where they ate dinner with their own families or alone or with the Hokage before going to bed to rest after such a long day.
