-Chapter 4

I know what you are thinking how long does it really take to make it to the leaf village from the sand village. To be honest on that answer it all depends on many factors such as weather, the person ability to travel for long periods of time, and the terrain. There is more than that but I'll save that for another day. Well for once I can say that luck is on my side for once. Crossing the dessert is huge pain in the ass like for real all there is sand rock and fucking heat! Also if you have no idea of where you are supposed to be going you can easily get lost that shit happened to me a few times. If I'm cussing more than normal that means I am really irritated. Back on track now as I was saying my luck is looking on the bright side because for one there is no sand storm and the heat isn't that bad. I could easily run through the dessert but let's be honest with ourselves I'm only going to tire myself out. Well I'm not running at full speed but more like a jog. I spend about half a day crossing the dessert before I reach actual forest and tress which means I can take a rest soon and enjoy me some shade. I know the message made it seem like it was urgent but let's be honest here I'm going to take me sweet ass time and enjoy all of the beautiful sights around myself before I go to the village. I rarely get to enjoy this stuff being cooped up in the sand and raising children and my damn brother causing trouble for me.

Wondering what happened for that time in the dessert I'm going to give you guys a quick rundown. Crossing the dessert was enjoyable since it was kind of cloudy which I knew something was wrong. It's never cloudy in the dessert unless something bad is about to happen. Bad omens in deed, which caution I quickened my pace through the dessert. I said with caution like that means something in my life. Before I made it to the border I was attacked by rogue ninja and no they didn't have black cloaks with red clouds. These were regular rogue ninja who would do anything to make a meal and live. Apparently the death of the Kazekage's wife or the Kazekage himself pays very well. The second the appeared was mistake number two mistake number one was thinking that I am some push over who can't kick ass!

~ "Lately I've noticed that you have been slightly agitated and very hostile towards things and people mostly towards your brother." Kurama said to me

"You know what maybe I'm just tired of people and their shit. Ok there is only so much I can take before I snap and lose my shit." I reply

"Hmmm maybe when this is all over you should look into channeling your anger into something without injuring someone"

"Maybe I'll think about and no promises when I get around Naruto. Anyway as much as I love talking to you there are things that I must do before I can fully sit down and have a cup of tea and talk to you."

"All right I will let you continue for a while longer before we take another break."

It didn't take long before I found myself taking a break. As I'm sure you can tell from the brief description that I will never have a normal life. Then again I'm the other half of Kurama. Speaking of which I know a little tea shop nearby. Which means, I can finally sit down and have a little talk with him. Hmm it shouldn't be that far now. Ahhh there it is. This tea shop brings back good and bad memories. I'll get into those memories later.

~innerself/ tea shop~

"Hey Kurama, I have been wondering about this for some time. Since I have your good half and

Naruto has your other half, and I'm able to talk to you is Naruto able to do the same. I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, I haven't been around other jinkurikis a lot. I would have asked Gaara, but because of we don't want to speak about his past I don't ask him. With that being said what I'm trying to get at is it possible for me to communicate with Naruto mentally since we have two halves of a whole. Is it possible?" I ask while taking a sip of tea.

"Hmmmmm so this is what was on your mind. To answer your question yes you can. It is a special ability all junjurkis can share among ourselves. You can even talk to Gaara as well. For you to first achieve this you need to establish a link with the other host. By doing this all you need to do is be in the same area." Kurama replies

"We you mean by area, how far are we talking?"

"For the first time for the link to connect you need to be pretty close. Once you do that the next step is just to be in sync with that person. When you do this the first time you will be able to do no matter how far the distance between you two or three are. You can also connect with more than one person at a time."

"Sync?"

"Yes you know how we can have our deep private talks like we are doung now. This place allows the tailed beast and host to be at their strongest. Well you can go further than that. To a place where no one or thing can get into. To sync both need to be in the place where we are at, then you go onto the next step."

"Now I understand, how far distance wise can this link reach up too. I'm curious about that."

"Once you go there you can always go there. As for distance since you can always go there, there is no distance gap that you will have to worry about. Also when someone is there you will be able to sense. A good majority of the time if someone is there then they are in trouble and need help."

"Why can't we have more talks like this? I enjoy being able to talk to you like this it gives me a peace of mind and allows me to talk to you about things on my mind."

"That's because of your crazy ass family and, all the shit that peruses. There is never a quiet moment in your life longer than 5 minutes. Even being a lovely mommy of 4 and a wife with a crazy younger brother."

"You are correct about my crazy family, but I wouldn't have them any other way." I smiled after realizing I'm lucky to have my family with me.

As much as I love tea I should get going I can't waste time like this. I pay for my tea and leave but, before I do leave I see something on the tree nearby. When I approach the tree I notice how it says Minato loves Kushina forever and always. I touch the wording and tears start to fall. Just thinking how long has this been here, and how often did my parents come to this spot. Dropping to ground bawling like a small child, I don't hear or sense the tea shop owner approach me.

"You look exactly like her, you know. Except for the eyes you have his." The mysterious tea shop lady says.

"You- you knew my parents?" I sob out

"Yes your mother would love to come to this very spot. She would say it allowed her to be free and herself. The one place she wouldn't be made fun at. Then one day she shows up with your father. By the twinkle in her eyes and her smile, I could tell she loved him and trusted him." She said while she gazed at the trees

"Um excuse me I don't mean to sound rude, but you don't look much older than me, so how could you know my mother. Also I don't even know your name."

"Oh sorry about that my name is Kimoko Wayanayshi, and I'm about the same age your mother would be if she was still with us. You could say I aged rather nicely. I was one of her very first friends. People would say we looked the same because of our hair. What we had was deeper than the color of hair had to offer. We were like sister. I'm sure your wondering how I'm the owner. This is a family operated business. I may be the owner but my mother still helps me run it. You have already met her. She was like a second mother to Kushina"

"Oh is she the one who wears her hair with cherry blossoms sticking out?"

"Yes that's my mother for you. Sweet and kind to all she encounters. I just can't get over how much you and your brother look so much like your parents."

"Would it be ok if I were to come back and ask you questions about my parents? I mean since you were close to them you know?"

"Yes it would be fine, also what is the wife of the Kaezkage doing in the leaf?"

"OH MY GOODNESS! I have to go. I forgot that I have to meet the hokage and my brother. Time just went by I never noticed."

"Well before you go I want you to know you're welcomed here anytime. Also taking a break every now and then can be a good thing. Bye see you next time."

I wave as I start to walk away. There is something about her that I can't seem to put my finger on. When she talked I felt warm and safe like when I'm surrounded by my family. Hm it's going to drive me crazy not knowing exactly what it is. Fuck Like I need something else to stress me out. I already have my brother and his shit to deal with. Sigh why me? What did I do in my past life to suffer like this? Damn it Amaya get your shit together! Stressing over every little thing will be the death of me. Keep calm I have business to attend to for all I know it could turn out to be diplomatic.

After that quick pep talk I walk for what seemed like a few hours I arrived outside the entrance to the hidden leaf village. Bonus information it took a few hours because I was enjoying the scenery. Here it is the moment I've been anticipating. Time to see what type of damage control I need to do. I make my way through the village as I encounter what seems to be Naruto's friend. To make the most use out of these encounters I ask them where Naruto is. To my surprise they all say the saw him on his way to Tsunade. Well that makes my life easier. I hurry to the building. Scared out my wits I stand outside the door, ready to open it any minute now. This is it what I've been waiting for.
