Part I: Songs of love and death and Hour of reckoning, side Uchimaki & friends:

Part 1/ Memories of loving Parents, The brutal slaughtering.

Bolt´s Pov:

"So, what are you going to do, are you going to dive into Sarada´s memories now or what?" Inojin asked.

"Well first, Bolt and I, we got to speak about what we saw…, you know highly private stuff…, and find a solution to our problem.

Also will Bolt be not able to directly dive into the memory for now, since his eyes might hurt now and me too, I first have to come down, I saw things which no one ever should have seen.

That will last at least a half hour, so if you still want to go and enjoy the festival so far, you can go!" Sarada stated.

"I see, yeah I think you are right, even when Bolt allowed you to see all of this, it´s still an invasion into the privacy of his family, so we have no right to question you about these things.

And I think, only the future Mrs. Uzumaki should know all about the corpses in their basement!" Chouchou stated with a smirk.

"Yeah…., thanks that you understand…., anyways we will give you a call when we are ready for the second dive!" I said blushing deep red.

"Okay, see you guys later!" Inojin stated.

"Sure thing, don´t party too hard, you have a half final to win, I might have said that I don´t want to fight against anyone of you, but if you have already your nomination for the Chunin rank, then I think this rule will be irrelevant.

I want to see how far you can come and if you would be able to beat us, let me see how strong the bond of love between us three pairs is, and who might be the better couple, shall we?

So this means you too Team Akinara, make sure you come into the half final, got it!" I stated.

"Sure thing Bolt, we will see who´s the better couple!" Chouchou and Senpou stated in unison.

"Geez, what a drag!" Shikadai stated, while Inojin only smiled.

"Well then, see you later guys!" They said before they left the room.

"So what do we know now more?" Sarada asked me instantly.

"Not much, only that mom is a real Berserker when she gets angry or knows that we are in serious danger, I honestly have to say that I never saw her that angry!" I said.

"Me neither!" Sarada stated.

"I might have heard one or two things about the 3rd Birthday Affair, but I never really got to know anything concrete about this, so to see that you're Father has crazed out so much and this menacing stare of him and his partners in crime was quite terrifying.

However, to see that your Grandfather and Konoha-sensei have participated in it, was pretty impressive, the Hyuuga Clan´s men are strong, no doubt about it, and to get back out alive or only a little injured, only witnesses Sensei´s power!" Sarada stated.

"Indeed, also did these memories I saw, only approved to me, what I already knew about my parents, they are strong, both physically and mentally, they are loving parents.

That kind of parents, who freely would take bullets or all sort of weapons, only to defend us; also they are serious business in battles!" I stated.

"Sure…but, I never knew…, no, I never imagined how hard your father and mothers life really has been.

Both were put into a box, isolated from the others, labelled as failures, as worthless or too dangerous to the society.

They had been dubbed as chanceless and dropped thereafter, merely because they were not as others had hoped they would be.

Although your mother had trained very hard, day and night, to become better, she was eventually simply replaced by your aunt.

And your father, he was shunned from the very beginning, without having ever could have done something against his fate, given by others.

To be honest, the way both had found each other was quite romantic, in a way it was like with you and me, you too were my light, which I always followed through the darkness, and I too I often wanted to die for your sake, but i´m kind of glad that you never had let me die.

Your mother, the way I know her, made me early getting a massive like in her, she was so kind, so friendly.

Still the way I have now seen her, made me believe, that beneath each of her smiles and her cheerfulness, lies a massive volcano waiting to be woken and to explode.

Her willpower is impressive, really impressive!" Sarada stated.

"Well your mother is quite awesome too, I admit, I had a crush in her in my early years!" I stated blushing.

"Wait serious?" Sarada asked looking at me in wonder.

"Yeah, she was always so kind and her smile was lovely, but she was also fierce and strong… also was she, next to mom and Lady Tsunade, one of the only women which ever could make my father shiver in sheer terror!" I explained and she chuckled.

"Yeah I know, wow, well, I think I can then admit it too.

I once asked your father if he would marry me, logically he had to tell me no, but he did it so gentle, still I was a little disappointed back then….!

But don´t get me wrong, I think I was 4 years old that time and I only know this because mom had told me a few weeks ago, as I looked through a photo album.

You would not believe how many photos we have, where he plays with all of us or when we all stand together.

Honestly, if I would not know it better, I would think that your father has been mine before my Father came back home!" Sarada stated and I was buff.

"You were in love with my dad, wow!" I stated chuckling.

"Well yeah, you see he was just so awesome all the time, so as a replacement father and even though he never has been, he simply was like a real father to me!" Sarada explained herself.

"I know, sigh, you know when today is over and I don´t lie unconscious in the hospital, I will have to thank and apologize real hard to dad, for my entire behaviour from before 5 years, I did him wrong so long.

All he ever wanted to do was to help your family and I always only accused him of being married to his work, I am really the worst son.

I never recognized just how awesome he really is, just because I was selfish and blind, too blind to see how hard he worked, for his family and the one of his best friend, your mother!" I stated.

"Now I finally understand what he meant with his speech, on that day 5 years ago, after I pulled that mega-prank on the day of the 5-Kage conference!" I thought.

"You are not the worst son, he knew that someday you would understand and that's why he kept working so hard, because he knew that he could so ensure us our both futures.

Still you are right, your father is amazing!" Sarada stated.

"Anyways, what shall we still talk about?!" I asked.

"…., did you saw it…, the last memory?" Sarada asked me, suddenly shivering.

"You mean…. The cold one?" I asked, equally uncomfortable with the theme.

"Yes, exactly that one, what do you think, was this a vision of the future?" I asked.

"Looked like it, we seemed to be older and it looked that Sarin had a child with that strange Man and that they had to give it away somewhere.

I heard that the man has brought 40% of the remaining humanity on an island somewhere, to shoot them with it into the orbit, to find a new world.

Also he seemed to be the leader of us, I honestly have not understood much what he talked about, but I heard him saying something about the Wild-sages, you remember, I told you all about it as we came back home?

Wild-sage, that's the name Nekomata called himself!" Sarada stated.

"So did Lady Inari of the Light foxes, can it be, is that guy connected to the Wild-sages, if yes then Sarin and me too will sooner or later encounter a Wild-sage!" I stated.

"No…, wait a second…, could it be, do I maybe already have found mine…, on that faithful day, a year ago…., that day as I almost lost Sarada…, as she shielded me…, saving my life but almost getting killed herself.

The way I did 2 years before!" I though as I remembered the various scenes of that day, nightmares which still hunted me in various nights, even today, especially lately.

"Maybe, anyways, I came to the conclusion that this man has to be Neherit, I mean he is the only one who fits into this role, for he seems to know far more about the past than we do.

If I shall be honest, I didn´t really trusted him before, but now that I saw all this destruction and death and these beings with my very own eyes, I begin to believe him.

You still remember what Sarin said about that dubious Project S.I.I.O.N.T, that it might could be, that under the cover of a month of cheerfulness and festivals, actually a whole month of secret war-preparations is lying?" Sarada asked.

"Yeah I still know that, it was after all only a few hours ago as she told us that…., anyways I guess if this ever will have to do with us, my father or anyone relevant will surely come to inform us.

Also this vision…., we cannot say of how much of truth lies within it…., since we have not seen much of the `End of the world´ yet, am I right?!" I asked and she nodded.

"I think we should prepare ourselves on the challenges that are lying right ahead of us, if really something drastic will happen, then we will deal with it at that time, for now let´s get through this trial and afterwards we going to find out more about this dubious Project!" I said.

"Alright, anyways how are your eyes doing?" Sarada asked.

"Still need a moment!" I replied.

"Alright!" She said and leaned next to me, she soon was fast dozing off, mumbling unheard things.

I smirked at the sight, her sleeping face was just too cute.

"Good nap!" I stated softly, as I put a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Well, guess I could need a nap too, but I better set my phone on alarm, so we won´t sleep for too long, if we still will watch in her Father´s memories.

"Come think of it, maybe it´s possible to specifically search for memories concerning a certain person…., I think I should try it out, after all we want to see the memories of her Father and not of herself or her mother.

I mean, if again a naked-baby-memory will come, she surely is going to rip my head off afterwards!" I mumbled to myself, as I mused about that theme, I had been thinking about that, ever since I dived into my own memories.

And so I was dozing off as well, peacefully, not minding the tension of the upcoming Battles.

But also not knowing, that the world already began to spiral into chaos.

Meanwhile in the Land of Demons:

Shion´s Pov:

While on the one side of the world people were celebrating, on the other side of the world, people were panicking.

Still, beside of the mighty Leaders, no one knew or even thought about the lingering darkness, which had begun to make a move.

So it was only a matter of time until the darkness would scrap on our front-door.

But as if this was not all of the evil, did I had to fight with some other crises too.

A week ago,

"Are you sure about this Lady Shion!" The guard's commander asked.

"Yes, I feel unnaturally strong dark waves coming from the Land of Swamps, whenever I was meditating on the tower.

Also it seems that the Miasma in our land is increasing, it flows in from all around the world, I can feel the shadows how they begin to linger in the dark.

I fear that this circumstance will wake up beings, which shall never been woken again.

Demons who have been sealed in various places all around our land, their seals begin to weaken, as if something calls out for them to awake.

But still all of this is only my opinion to what I feel, I still have no real evidence that something is really coming, but it´s better to be prepared, so increase the guardians in the palace and the town.

Make sure that Talia is being observed around the clock, we can´t have it that she gets into the crossfire right now!" I stated.

"Understood!" The Guard´s commander replied and bowed before leaving the Audience room.

"Lady Shion, what do you think we shall do?" Nakurata, my advisor asked me.

"I have such a bad feeling, I felt this way the last time as Mōryō woke up, if I would not know that he is dead, I would think that he´s behind all this!" I mumbled.

"Are you really sure that he´s dead, not that I want to mock you, but, Mōryō was supposed to be one of the strongest demons, who has ever appeared within our Land.

So it would be really strange if he would be able to so easily being defeated, what if he only has been weakened during that battle and then hid himself, faking his death.

If that would be the case, he would surely assemble as much of miasma as he can get to heal his wounds.

Still it would be a wonder if he would have been able, to do this for over 20 years, unnoticed by us!" Nakurata stated.

"Not completely, Miasma is only the collective Name for dark energy, like dark Chakra created through strong negative emotions.

Or the remains of evil souls, which is floating around in the Limbus, the Grey Dimension, and who manages to come to our world through open gateways.

Anyways what I mean is that Miasma can´t be clearly seen by everybody, only those with the born ability to see these kind of things can detect Miasma-gatherings.

Still there are only a few ritual items, which are giving even normal humans the ability to see ghosts and miasma, for example the Ghost-lenses, the Soul-mirror, or the Oni-mask.

All three are mystical items which were hidden and guarded by the folk of Uzushiogakure, the Uzumaki-Clan; the strongest Seal-catsers of our world!" I said.

"I see, well this might be true, still normal people feel a sudden coldness, if ghost or demons shall be in their surroundings, as much as I know and have heard!" Nakurata explained.

"Indeed, anyways it would be better if we get certainty about it, so please send a group of investigators towards both shrines, to see if something has happened over there.

A few others shall travel through the land, to every shrine in the land, let them strengthen the seals from anew, we can´t have it that these demons will break out.

We must be sure that there is no danger awaiting us, still, for now we have to hold this under secret, we can´t have it to get a mass panic right now.

After all is also Talia´s 16th birthday in a while, we have to absolutely be sure that nothing is lingering to attack, in a moment of unawareness!" I said and Nakurata nodded.

"Very well I will instantly create some groups of Seal-casters, who shall travel through the land and strengthen the seals!" He stated and I nodded.

"Did you have news from Sasaki´s whereabouts?" I asked worried, at the thought of my Husband, a strong warrior of our land, maybe even the strongest.

"Unfortunately not, we might have found his Platoon after we got the message by the Falcon, but as we arrived, already most of them had been wounded or had been died on their wounds.

However, neither one could tell us clearly what exactly happened to them, nor from Lord Sasaki is until now any trace to find!" Nakurata replied.

"I see, it will become harder to not tell Talia about it, she constantly asks me when her father comes Back home and if he make it for her birthday, I really hope he´s alright!" I said.

"We do what we can, but our men are no magicians, if we would have a tracker or someone with similar abilities, it might would get easier!" He explained.

"A Tracker you say….., how about a Ninja instead?" I asked.

"Well they could perhaps find out more than we can do, our soldiers are more trained to fight rather than to search!" Nakurata stated.

"Alright, if our soldier's won´t find anything within the next week, I will ask a good friend of mine for help!" I stated.

"A Friend, who might that be, Milady?" Nakurata asked.

"The Hokage of Konohagakure!" I stated, with a smirk at the thought of Naruto.

I admit, I had been in love with him for a long time, but ever since the Battle against Mōryō and his henchmen, I hadn´t seen him for years.

Eventually I fell in love with Sasaki, my second Childhood friend and former Soldier commander-apprentice, we married and had a daughter together, Talia, I could predict a wonderful future to her, for the last 15 years.

Therefore, rarely something unexpected happened to us, but then 5 years ago, Naruto surprisingly visited our country with a few of his men, to strengthen the bond between our lands.

I was shocked, but also pleased to see him again, he had changed so much, he seemed to be way stronger as well as way more mature than to these days, as I met him the first time.

Still that was only logical, after all, almost 14 years had passed ever since.

He told me about the fourth Ninja world-war, a war we hadn´t even really knew something about, if we would have, we would have helped him for sure.

He told me that it was him and a few friends who kept the moon from being destroyed and destroying our earth, that was something we had witnessed here too, several villages throughout the land had been victims to small meteorite-impacts.

Still that was as much of what truly happened here.

As I asked him of how his life went, he told me about his wife and his two Children, I was glad that despite of what he had encountered, after we saw each other the last time, he never stopped to live his life.

I told him that I would like to someday meet his Family.

During the end of his visit I predicted the future to him.

I predicted to him, that he would find again someone, who he had lost, I only saw strange eyes looking at me out of the darkness, I didn´t know whether this was a good or a bad omen.

But a few months later, he send a letter in which stood, that his old Friend Sasuke had finally returned back home after an absences of 11 years.

So in a way I was again right with my prediction.

"The Hokage, I see, well that sure is a strong ally I would say, I heard from my predecessor that the current Lord Hokage seems to be quite a hero, known throughout the world, and that he saved us once from Mōryō, is that right?" Nakurata asked me.

"Indeed, only thanks to him, I found the strength to defeat Mōryō that time as he woke up, through him I learned to value the life others gave to ensure my survival, and to live for protecting the future generations.

Geez I even once asked him to become the father of my child, but I think he truly misunderstood me that time!" I stated blushing and chuckling.

"Really, well he seems to be a nice guy, the way you talk about him!" Nakurata stated.

"He is indeed, anyways we better get going, you have to prepare the seal-caster unit, and I will write the letter to ask for help!" I stated and he nodded.

He left the room and I was left alone.

"Guards please close the room!" I commanded and they did as told, saluting and bowing before closing the large gate of the Audience room.

"Let´s see what lies ahead of us!" I stated, as I concentrated to predict the Future, ever since that day 14 years ago, I trained my ability, until I was able to willingly look into the future, and to be able to see more than only other people´s death.

Still, I had been too afraid, I hadn´t done this before in a long time, for I lately got strong visions of an apocalyptic war.

I was so afraid of willingly look into the future afterwards, because I feared to find myself incapable of helping to repel the darkness that may come.

I had long a feeling that the darkness has increased in the last years and ever since Naruto told me about the last war, I knew why.

All those people who died on the battlefield, souls full of wrath, a war which had been begun with evil intent, which had been fought with many negative emotions and which had mostly ended in blood.

One could call it with right a slaughtering, so it was no wonder that so much Miasma has been created at these days.

And then all those people who perished in the flames during the Moon-fall Case, as Naruto called it.

"If I am right, then the Miasma is reacting to something and this something is about to be awoken, something which should better rest asleep and never wake up again…., for if it does awake…., these visions of mine…, they probably will become true.

The only question left then is…, do humanity even has a chance to survive…., will be there no one who can defend the world?!" I thought as I concentrated.

I could see the future, I saw gruesome picture, just like in my visions, pictures of mountains and fields of corpses, I saw death and destruction everywhere and giant unknown beings which brought them.

I saw what lies ahead of us, a war of unknown expanses…., a war…, that will shake the world, perhaps even our entire galaxy to its core…., still I could not find out when this will happen, but if I am right, then it will soon begin.

Perhaps not today nor tomorrow, but surely soon.

"I have to warn Naruto!" I stated, I knew that a letter, send to Konohagakure, will likely need a good week, to get there, be responded and to have one being send back to us.

In this time everything was open, my soldiers still had time to find Sasaki and the seal caster had time to strengthen the Seals on most of the shrines throughout the land.

However, I already had prepared myself for the worst case…., as so often…., since Sasaki was a soldier after all, but still, the only question which remained was on how I shall tell this to Talia?

That her beloved father might never come back home again.

This was what broke my heart the most.

Part 2/ The dark heart, which is chasing ghosts of the past and the lurking eyes in the darkness.

Bolt´s Pov:

"Biip, Biip!" the wake-up call of my phone rung.

"Ah that was quite refreshing!" I stated, as I yawned and stretched.

It were only 20 minutes though, but it were 20 minutes in peace.

"Honey, wake up!" I gently whispered in Sarada´s ear.

"Hmmm, where are we, how late is it…, oh no did we overslept!" She panicked sleepy, sweeping the sleep out of her eyes yawning.

"Relax it were only 20 minutes, I set my phone on it.

Anyways, are you ready for the second dive?" I asked.

"Yeah, i´m ready!" She replied nuzzling in my side, while I caressed her hair affectional.

"Alright before we call for Inojin and begin our dive…., are you sure you want to see what your dads Memories are containing.

I mean, no offence, but you do still know that your father had been labelled a Nukenin a few years before our birth…., so we have no real idea what might await us in this memory, it could be too traumatic for you!" I warned her.

"I am well aware of this, but the same goes for you, doesn´t it?" She asked.

"Yeah sure, however is Sasuke Uchiha not my father, and I already hate him anyways, so it would not really face me that much, doesn´t it?

Still, with you this is something totally different, after all you are his daughter.

I mean, for example…, okay it´s only a hypothesis since we don´t know why he had been a Nukenin, but let´s just say, we would find out that he had been a mass-murder, or that he has tried to kill one of the previous Hokages…., or even my father…, what would you do, how would you feel?

I mean if you have to look into his eyes, knowing that he did all sort of cruel things possible, would you hate him….., could you dislike him even more…, could you accept this piece of his past?" I asked.

"I know what you are saying and I appreciate your concern, but still, it is my father we are talking about, a father which I haven´t got to know for 11 years.

He might be my father by blood, but to me he is a complete stranger…, I mean I don´t know a thing about him or his past, since he never talks to us about such things, he always only says that it doesn´t concern us, or that it is and never will be none of our business.

I know that…, what I might see in there…, could likely traumatise me…., but I also know that you are here, on my side…, that you are holding my hand and that you won´t let me fall…, even if you know my dad´s past!" Sarada stated looking at me.

"You are right, honestly I don´t care about you fathers past…, I fell in love with you…, not with your Clan, you are you and that won´t change a thing, even if I know your father´s unglamorous past.

As I said I honestly don´t care about it, still, if you want to know it, then we will take this dive…., so, what´s your answer…, are you still want to do it, knowing that afterwards there is no turning back from reality.

Are you ready to face your father´s past?!" I asked again and she nodded with determined eyes.

"Alright, I will go search for Inojin and the others, stay here and mentally prepare yourself!" I said and she nodded again.

I teleported myself on Inojin´s side, fortunately I made my Hiraishin mark on their wrists as we fist-bumped earlier, just the way I saw it in Ino-san and Sai-san´s memory.

"Woooah, Bolt, where did you come from?" The same shouted as he jumped, a least 1 meter high, of surprise.

"Irrelevant, we are ready to take the second dive, are you guys done with amusing yourselves?" I asked.

"Yeah, most of the stands are closed anyways, they will only open when the Starlight festival begins!" Chouchou stated with a lightly sour expression.

"What´s the matter Chouchou, you seem angry?" I asked.

"They only sell light chips with onion flavour instead of Consommé flavour!" Shikadai stated lazily.

"Yeah right, as if that is the only sort people are eating in here!" Chouchou pouted with blown cheeks, reminding me on a hamster.

"I see…., anyways let´s get going, Sarada´s waiting!" I said and they nodded.

It lasted 5 minutes before we arrived back in the waiting room.

"Well then let´s go!" I said, as I opened the door.

"Huh?" I stated, as I looked at a half-naked Sarada.

"Baaam!" I instantly closed the door behind the others, turning around.

"What in the world do you think you are doing, Sarada?" I hissed, turning around.

"I was sweaty so wanted to change my clothes!" she only stated.

"And why didn´t you closed the door then, are you insane, what would you have done if it was someone else?" I asked.

"Bolt, Sarada, is everything alright?" We heard Senpou´s voice.

"Yeah we just need a minute could you wait please!" I replied.

"Oh okay!" She stated.

"Get dressed…, instantly!" I hissed.

"Geez, no need to be so angry!" She stated lamely.

"Well since you are so damn careless!" I replied with venom.

"There all done!" She stated.

"Okay, let´s get them in and…. whoa, what the hell?" I shouted, as I suddenly was kissed passionately by the still half naked Sarada.

"why did you tricked me, what are you even trying to do here, are you seriously wanting to seduce me or what?" I asked doubtingly.

"Let´s elope!" She stated, her eyes sparkled of seriousness.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked fully confused.

"If my Dad wins against you, he will do anything to bring us apart, so let´s just drop this challenge and eloping instead!" She stated, pushing her boobs, covered in a hot black bra, on my chest, begging me with a quivering lip.

"Just what the hell has gotten into you, Sarada, didn´t we said each other that no matter if we win or not, we would stay together anyways?

That no one can get us seperated.

I remember to have said that to you, however, I can´t remember that we ever took in consideration, to run away from your father or from the village at all.

This isn´t right and also, where should we go, we have nothing but all the things here?" I asked.

"I know, but I also know that dad will try everything to break us apart, if he should win.

I just don´t want you to get hurt thanks to me, I swore to never let that happen again!" Sarada whined.

"Baby, I won´t let your father, or anyone, ever hurt you or myself again, no matter what, I will stand strong against all dangers, which might come against us in our life.

If this means that I can be together with you forever and keep you safe from everything, then I will never retreat from a challenge.

Eloping isn´t the answer, instead of running away we should face the challenge and do our best.

If we really should fail and he would try this, we still can do it, but we never going to know, if we would have won fair and square, if we never even tried, you understand?

I promised you that I will always be by your side and an Uzumaki stands to his words, but an Uzumaki also never runs away from a Challenge, even if it is doomed to fail.

If we are challenged we fight, with all our heart and soul and for the highest price, on the highest risk!" I stated to her as I took her in my arms.

"I see, so you will not run away but face my Dad, am I right?" She asked with a worried glance.

"Positive, as I told you running away won´t help anything, your father will only think that he was right, that I wouldn´t even be able to defend you, that I would be of no faith.

But if I can show him, how strong I really am, that I am strong enough to even beat him, then he has no right to tell us that I cannot defend you.

It is a challenge I had to accept, this has nothing to do with male ego, but with the honour of myself as a man and the honour of my Clan.

If he challenges one of us, he challenges us all, for we Uzumaki never let us being called as too weak.

Also it is to show him, how strong my will, to protect you, is!" I stated to her.

"I see…, i´m sorry I shouldn´t have asked you and especially not that way…, I guess you are right.., nothing will get any better by running away!" She said.

"My words, my dear, my words…, uuuuhhhmmm Sarada…, you see, since you tried to seduce me, you did expected me to do this, am I right?!" I stated blushing, as I shifted my hands to her perfectly shaped rump.

"Huuuuh?!" She stated surprised.

"What are you doing Bolt, please wait, no!?" She asked, blushing.

"Isn´t this what you had intended to do with me, first you seduce me like that and now you try to retreat, that´s kind of cruel you know.

You should get me a straight answer, do you want me to grope on you, since you seduced me to it, or not!?" I whispered in her ear, before she blushed deep red, as I gave her sexy plot a little squeeze.

"Kyyyyyaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" She screamed loudly and slapped me across the face, before diving back in her clothes.

"I guess that means no!" I stated with a pained smile.

"Of course not…., Baka!" She hissed at me.

"Sarada, what´s going on… wooaaah, did we interrupted something!" Chouchou asked with a smug grin.

"No not at all, just a misunderstanding!" We said in unison blushing deep red.

"Aha, a misunderstanding, I see, well I would have never believed, that there has something sexy been going on between you two right now!" She replied but her smile did not in the slightest testified her words, it was way too flashy.

"Anyways we should begin!" Sarada stated with a serious mine, there was no trace of her tender softness and seductiveness from before.

"Yeah we should indeed, if we still want to rest before the big Battle!" I stated.

"Well then, i´m ready when you guys are!" Inojin stated.

"We are ready!" We both stated in unison again, blushing.

"I see that, well then let´s go!" Inojin stated as he connected our mind.

"Can you hear me Sarada?" I asked over mind-transmission.

"Loud and clearly, sweetheart!" She stated with a sharp undertone.

"Okay, okay, I am sorry for grabbing and squeezing your sexy behind, but what the hell were you expecting.

I´m an adolescent boy and you threw yourself on me while being half naked, so I beg your pardon but this was too much, for my brain not to act this way.

I mean, as I saw you in that get-up, all kinds of dirty fantasies swarmed through my brain!" I thought to her.

"Geez…, okay I admit, you are right….., I think I kind of overreacted back then, but I did not expected you to be that turned on!" Sarada stated.

"Well you are the sexiest girl alive and you are my girlfriend, who seduced me in Black sexy lingerie…, so I guess it´s only natural and logical that I was turned on to no end!" I stated.

"Geez…, stop making me being embarrassed, I bet I am blushing deep crimson right now…., a-anyways let´s concentrate on the matter at hand!" she replied.

"Well then, I will take a dive, your blood please!" I stated and she nodded, slicing a finger with her Kunai.

"Well then, here we go!" I mumbled as I concentrated on the blood before me, and so we took a dive.

Meanwhile somewhere in Konohagakure:

"Is everybody present?" A dark raspy voice asked.

"We are all here, Hizamaru-sama!" A dark cloaked person stated.

The leader of this dubious group looked over the persons who had met in this large villa.

"Well then let´s come to the matter at Hand.

It has been 11 years since our last attempt to ensure the safety of the Byakugan to be secured.

As you all know are having, ever since their birth, the Uzumaki Brats, who unfortunately also contain the honoured blood of our ancestors, the ability to use the Byakugan.

Every attempt to get the Kago no Tori no Juin (Curse-seal of the Caged Bird) at either of them both, have failed so far and the last time we even had a lot of injured Clan members afterwards.

Ever since that day, the numbers of our sympathizers have decreased.

Those who are sitting here, are some of the last ones who still hold it for necessary to secure our tradition, of securing the secret of the Byakugan!" The Elder stated.

"In the last 3 years we only managed to get the Juin on 5 Children of the Branch family.

The parents have become more cautious and they let their children only in the surrounding with many adults out, and never on night.

They began to rebel against our tradition, ever since the 6th and the 7th Hokage officially forbid the Seal-casting.

Ever since, they think that we have nothing to say anymore.

Anyways, we from the elder council searched for a method to shorten the casting of the seal, as you know it needs at least 30 minutes for the seal to be fully active, in these 30 minutes the seal-casting still can be nullified.

That has been painfully shown to us 11 years ago, as we tried to cast the seal on the 7th Hokage´s daughter.

Still, to see how these two brats are using the Byakugan so shamelessly and without any care in the world, seeing how they go out on missions, always near the danger, is a thorn in our eyes,

If they would be killed one day, the enemy will get all the secrets about our Clan´s trump-card.

We cannot allow this, we shall not let this happen.

If the Hokage is not accepting our petition, then we have to do it by force.

We researched for 11 years and finally after all this time, we found a way to cast the seal faster.

The new technic only needs 15 minutes, it works similar like the old seal, but is way more efficient.

Until now the method has been tested on the last 2 children and it works perfectly.

All what we need now is to find the right opportunity, to use it on the Uzumaki brats.

Still they are not 3 anymore, they are strong and they know how to defend themselves, all we can do is to try to get the surprise-effect, we cannot let them recognize anyone of us or risk of being caught.

For if this happens, our Clan will be surely attacked again by the Hokage.

So we got to capture them, force the seal on them and then we retreat, the Hokage will have no evidence of who of our Clan has done it, therefore he cannot attack anyone of us.

Especially not in his position as the leader of the town!" Hizamaru Hyuuga, elder of the Hyuuga Clan, stated confident.

"But what if he does?" The others asked.

"He won´t risk it, he has done too much to become Hokage, and he is not at all willing to give this title up after only 5 years, not even for his family.

You still remember how my Granddaughter Hinata has scolded him loudly, after he had become Hokage.

He was never at home that time, ever since he got this title for 5 months, he even was often sleeping within his office, I heard this from a confidential source, who works within the office.

His work and his reputation is more important to him than his family, so don´t worry!" Hizamaru-san stated.

Oh how wrong he should be.

"Anyways tonight is the chance, all the guards are securing the festival and the wall around the town, the kids will not be guarded that much.

It won´t be a problem for our men, they are the strongest top Assassins of the main family, such a mission is as easy as a pie for them.

Still we should first force it on the girl, to see if it works, since they still are to a half Uzumaki, especially these kinds of Uzumaki!" The elder stated.

"What do we do when the seal-casting is failing?" Another of the cloaked persons asked.

"Make them vanishing, it´s far better as if they fall in the enemy´s hands on a mission!" Hizamaru-san stated.

"It´s for the future of the Hyuuga-clan!" The Elder shouted.

"For the future of the Hyuuga Clan!" The group echoed.

"This time they won´t get away!" The Elder stated with a sinister smile.

Meanwhile back in the Waiting room, in Sarada´s Memories:

Sarada´s Pov:

We dived together side by side, into the first memory, Kyūbiko was again at my side and again I could not interact with Bolt.

The first memory was at a well-known place to me, it has been a memory of my father, I saw that instantly.

"Mom, why is father never complementing me on my efforts, he always only praises Itachi!" My younger version of my father asked his mother.

"He knows that you make so much efforts, Sasuke, and he is proud of you!" Grandma stated.

"But why is he then always so cold to me, did I do something wrong, does he loves Itachi more than me?" Father asked.

"That's not it… Your father is the representative of the whole clan… If the clan is in a bad position, he must protect it.

Itachi is the older of the two of you… The job of looking after the clan must be left to him… Your father is the supervisor of that job so that's probably why he pays more attention to your brother.

But, to be honest, the conversations in here alone… when your father talks to me, he only talks about you… and because of that… he's always awkward with you!" Grandma chuckled.

"Really?" Dad asked.

"Yes really, I know someday he will also give you the same attention as Itachi but until then you got to bear through it, after all you are a strong Uchiha-member, and Uchihas are always strong!" Grandma stated, I came of the assumption that she must have been as kind as my mother is.

I bet Dad had a really cool childhood.

"Of course, I am strong and I will show it to you all, I can be better than Itachi!" Father stated with a bright smile.

The Scene changed, to a dark night, I saw my father, now a bit older, running through the town.

"Dammit, I trained too long and missed dinner, mom´s going to scold me again!" He wheezed as he ran around a corner towards the Uchiha quarter.

"Huh, why are there no lights!" Dad asked as he slowed his run to a steady pace.

"It's so dark here and so cold, what just has happened!?" Dad stated as he looked around, the night seemed even colder all of a sudden.

The streets were dead empty and everywhere we could see kunais and shuriken stuck in the ground or in the doors of various houses.

"Huh, aren´t these, Aunt Mariko and Uncle Hasune?!" Dad asked as he saw two people lying on the ground.

"Aunt Mariko, wake up, what happened, Aunt Marik-… Oh no!" Dad stated in horror, as he recognized that she was neither moving, nor breathing, her eyes were wide open, but hey had lost their shine and her mouth was agape in shock.

"She´s…, she´s dead!" we heard Dad´s voice.

"What happened here…, oh no, Mom and Dad!" Father shouted and ran towards his home, on the way he saw several corpses, all of them Members of the Clan.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" My father kept on mumbling, while he ran through the streets, until he arrived back home, he took his shoes of and entered.

"Mom, Dad, where are you, what happened here!" Dad shouted.

"Aaaahhh!" We heard it coming from somewhere.

"The Dojo!" Dad shouted and ran through the large Villa.

He stopped at a large door, afraid of entering.

Inside many noises and screams were to hear.

"I have to go, I have to go!" Dad mumbled like a mantra, before he gulped and opened the door.

"Hello, is somebody in here?" He asked.

"Mom…., Dad…, Nii-san?" He asked, as he entered before her saw again something.

"What is that…?" He stated as he took a closer look, before he stopped in horror, right before him laid the corpses of his Mother and his father .

"Mom…., Dad…., who did this…., why…?" Dad asked.

"You are late Sasuke!" A voice stated out of the shadow, before a young man emerged out of it.

"Nii-san…, you…, but why!?" Dad asked afraid.

"My foolish little brother!" Uncle Itachi stated, before he used his Mangenkyō Sharingan.

"Uu-uuuuaaarrrggghh!" My father shouted as he fell a moment later, backwards, vomiting right on the floor.

"Sasuke…!" Uncle Itachi stated.

"No…, go away from me, please no!" Dad shouted before he ran away, out on the street.

He tried to hide but everywhere he was stopped at the sight of his brother, so long until he was cornered.

"Sasuke, my foolish little Brother, why are you running away?" Itachi asked him.

"Why…, Why Itachi, Why did you do that?" Dad asked.

"I wanted to see how strong I am?" my uncle simply replied.

I was shocked to say the least, I truly could feel how my father must have felt in this moment, wrath and terror mixed to absolute paralyze.

"Only because of that?" He asked in disbelieve.

"Indeed!" Itachi stated.

"Are you going to kill me now too?" Dad asked afraid.

"There is no value in killing the likes of you… My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me!

And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life.

And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me!" Itachi stated, before he vanished and reappeared upon a pole, where he turned his back on my father, illuminated by the moonlight.

I thought to have seen him crying, but I probably was imaging things, why would such a mass murder cry.

"You will understand when you see it!" Kyūbiko stated, as if he had known my question.

"You know it?" I asked.

"I have most of my father´s Memories, remember, all what he and Bolt´s father have encountered before my creation, I know too!" Kyūbiko explained.

"IIIITAAACCCCHHHII!" Dad screamed, as he run after my Uncle ready to kill him.

He used Kunai and Shuriken to hit his back, but Itachi always could defend himself.

"You bastard, why did you killed Mom and Dad, why did you killed everyone, you miserable traitor!" Father shouted and Itachi hesitated for a moment.

This was enough for a kunai to hit his forehead protector, leaving a large scratch over the Konoha-symbol.

Again I thought to have seen him crying.

My father was yet again victim of the Mangenkyō Sharingan, before he fainted with tears in his eyes.

The scene Changed, towards a bright day.

"So please present yourself now!" A younger Kakashi-sensei stated, before my mother and the current Hokage presented themselves on their own unique ways.

"And you are?" Kakashi-sensei asked my dad.

"Sigh, my name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything.

What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, and kill a certain someone." Dad stated, his words ice-cold, just like his intent.

"I thought so!" I heard Kakashi-sensei mumbling.

The Scene changed yet again.

"SASUKE; I WON´T LET YOU GO TO OROCHIMARU; EVEN IF I HAVE TO BREAK YOUR ARMS AND LEGS; I WONT LET YOU GO!" The man before me stated.

It was no one but the younger version of the Nanadaime.

"This incredible pressure, what is this for a crimson chakra, is he a monster!?" We heard Dads voice.

"What the hell are you?" Dad asked the Hokage.

"A friend!" he only stated.

"That's why I say I won´t let you go to Orochimaru!" The Hokage shouted, before both engaged in a fierce battle, which soon ended in the Hokage slamming my dad in the rocks behind him, pinning him down.

"WAKE UP ALREADY!" We heard a young Hokage-sama shouting.

"If you´re still not sure, I´ll break you like a stick and bring you back immobile!" He screamed at my father, Kyuubi-chakra radiated from him, his eyes blood red with slit pupils, the same way I already saw it at Bolt.

"Just shut up for once! What the hell do you know about it?! It's not like you ever had a family in the first place!" Dad shouted and I was shocked about his words.

After learning the Hokages past this words, coming from my own father, hurt me the most.

"You were on your own right from the beginning, what makes you think you know anything about it?! Huh?! I'm suffering now because I had those ties, how on earth could you possibly understand, what it feels like to lose all that!" Father shouted at the Hokage.

"I don´t understand such things…, about real family and siblings.

But…, when i´m with Iruka sensei, I wonder…,if it feels like this with a Father!" The Hokage stated, his eyes full of sorrow.

"If i´m with you…, I wonder if it is like with a Brother!" He stated, looking straight at my father.

"Why…, why did you go that far for me?" Dad asked confused.

"For me…, its one of the first bonds I have ever had, that's why I have to stop you!" The Hokage stated full of confidence and believe.

My father remembered on a scene of his childhood as he and the Hokage met casually, beside of looking at each other angrily, as soon as they passed each other, they smiled.

Dad took his Forehead-protector out of his pocket and wore it around his head.

"Come Naruto…., then…, I will break this bond!" Dad stated invitingly.

"Break them…., then why now your headband?" The Hokage asked.

"I will acknowledge that you are strong…, because, you are the one that knows the same loneliness and pain as I do!" Dad stated looking with his sharingan at his friend.

"And…, that pain…, it makes a person stronger…, because of that…, by severing these bonds, I will gain even more strength.

From now on, we fight like equals.

But…, you would not even scratch my forehead that much hasn´t changed!" Dad stated confidentially.

The scene changed again to various different scenes.

I saw a lot of injustice my father brought, cruel things, from kidnapping, for Orochimarus experimentations, over to senseless killing masses of men, to prove his own power, killing for sport.

In the end I saw him killing Orochimaru.

Creating a team with Karin-san, and these other men, which he called Suigetsu-san and Jugo-san and with whom he searched for his Brother Itachi.

I saw how he killed Itachi in a fierce Battle before he joined Akatsuki, the criminal organisation which had been after the Hokage and which was responsible for the Fourth Ninja World War.

The next relevant scene that came was my father speaking with a strange masked man.

"I have to ask you something, now that you know Itachi´s true story, you could take up his mantle and protect Konoha, be honest, what do you want to do?" The man asked my father.

"You´ve shown me what lengths Itachi went through to protect the village.

But to me, the details of his life don´t compare to the grief I endured from losing him.

I´ve made my Choice.

I have no intention to protect this `peaceful´ world that sacrificed him.

Now that my eyes have opened to the truth, I could never protect Konoha in the way he wanted.

And I could never forgive these three Konoha councillors.

Lounging around, enjoying a peace Itachi's life has been sacrificed for; that includes the rest of Konoha, which is just as guilty!" Dad stated and I was buff, to see so much hatred in his cold eyes frightened me.

"I though you only wanted to kill those three!" The masked man asked.

"No… personally I want to kill every last person in Konoha, I only said that for the Benefit of Taka!" Dad explained.

"Are you absolutely sure…., are you willing to destroy everything Itachi gave his life for…., what he tried to protect…., do you really feel that way?" The man stated.

"You said it yourself, Itachi could not bring himself to kill me.

That means my Life was more important to him than the village.

I feel the same way, Itachi´s life is more important to me than the Village.

That´s all there is to it.

They ostracized the Uchiha.

They made my Brother kill our parents…, the leaders who drove Itachi to his death and the citizens who revered the Senju.

They´re all rotten to the core!" Dad stated and it was impossible to me to comprehend how he could say something like this to his former comrades.

"All of them are targets of my revenge.

If you want to ridicule me as a brat swayed by his emotions, go ahead. To accept and adopt Itachi's intention would be childish.

The foolish sputtering of those who don't know hatred. If anyone who criticises my way of life were to come forward, I'd turn around and kill every single one of their loved ones, so that they too can grasp what it's like… to experience this hatred of mine." Dad stated, his eyes were deadly, I almost pissed myself to be honest.

"The moment People come to know love, they run the risk of carrying hate!" The Masked man mumbled.

"What would Bolt say to this!?" I thought to myself, not that I could find an answer, to how even I feel exactly upon witnessing all this.

I was confused, enraged and full of hatred for my father, who killed and helped to bring death to so many people, due to some senseless reasons, when he was just as old as me now.

Full of awe, but also a tiny bit of disgust, for my mother and the Hokage, who, even with knowing most of all the things, which my father had done, never stopped to feel love and friendship for him.

Full of pity for my brother Katsuo, who was oblivious about what kind of man he is idolizing, ever since he knows dad he kept saying he wants to be like him.

If he would see all this, he would never dare again to even considering these words.

"And we both are the result of Mom and Dad´s genes together, so there is a psycho lingering in both of us…., oh god…., what must Bolt now think about me?" I stated in horror.

"What if he doesn't want to be together with me now, what if he tells me that he rather chooses someone safer, who does not has a monster lingering in herself?" I mumbled.

"Well you know a boy who definitely has a monster lingering inside of him and despite knowing that, you still love him over everything, same goes for Bolt, it will be Highly unnatural for Bolt to suddenly like you less, for something your parents did.

As he told you before, you are you, and the past of your parents…, that won´t change how he feels in the slightest…., he fell in love with you, not in your Clan, not in your Father and not in the things your ancestors have done!" Kyūbiko stated with a comforting voice.

"But you aren´t a monster!" I said to him.

"I thank you most dearly for these words, but we have to face it, I am a Bijuu, so I am a powerfull dangerous being, sleeping within Bolt.

In the past it happened that, whenever Bolt was angry, I was it too and more than often my wrath broke to the surface.

And anytime I wanted to simply erase what hurt him, what hurt us….., Bolts feelings are also my feelings, so in a way one could say, that I too love you Sarada, and that means something when it is said by a Bijuu such as myself.

Through this love, I can exactly tell you Bolt´s feelings, no matter what, we will always love you!" Kyūbiko stated and I was buff.

Me, loved by a Bijuu, that sure was something.

The next scenes were quickly shone, I saw how dad attacked mom.

Dad really tried to kill her, even twice, to hear about was already unbelievable, but to actually see it, it rose a wrath inside of me, which was unbearable.

I could understand my mother's feelings of wanting to end his life, so that no one else of their friends would have to carry that burden, but also to bring an end to his trail of blood, which he drew over the 5 Lands.

Luckily she has both times being rescued in last second, either by Kakashi-sensei or, as so often, by the Hokage.

I really ask myself why she never fell in love with him, still if she would have, neither of us, not Bolt, not me, nor Katsuo and Himawari, we all might have never been born if this would have happened, still it would have been so much more easier for my mother.

"Sasuke, I hate to repeat myself…, but I will say this one last time.

Stop your obsession with revenge!" Kakashi sensei said, after mom´s first assassination attempt failed before it really began.

"AAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAHAAAHAHAAAAAA!" Dad laughed a sinister, evil, ice-cold laughter.

"Bring Itachi back…, and my Father…., and my Mother back…., AND MY CLAN.

BRING THEM ALL BACK, ONLY THEN I WILL STOP!" Dad shouted with a sinister voice.

"…I don't want to kill you!" Kakashi-sensei stated with a pained voice.

"Oh so you think you can take me out whenever you want…, stop acting as if you still would be my teacher…, I want to kill you so bad, I can taste it!" Dad shouted.

"Sakura, heal that girl, she will have a lot of valuable informations for us, about the enemy!" Kakashi-sensei stated, as he pointed at an unconscious and bleeding Karin-san.

"And you Sensei!" Mom asked.

"Sakura take that girl, and get out of here!" He said again with more force in his voice.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Mom mumbled.

The next scene showed my father with his Brother and a strange abomination in a large den.

The snake like man performed some fingersigns.

"Sigh, I guess anything I say now would be pointless… When I saw you… I decided to follow you here to confirm whether what Danzō and Tobi told me was true or not.

But that wasn't the only reason… When I'm with you I remember the way it used to be. I remember time spent with the brother that I looked up to… that I loved.

That's why… The closer I get to you… The more I'm able to recall what those days felt like… the more I'm able to understand you!" Dad stated towards Uncle Itachi, who only listened to him in silence.

"The more I understand you…, the more I'm able to hate Konoha for the suffering they put you through. In fact, it's becoming even stronger than before.

I do understand what you want me to do. It's probably because you're my older brother that you feel the need to put me on the right path.

But it's probably because I'm your younger brother that I'll never stop, no matter what you say. As you'll always exist to protect the village… so will I to destroy it. Goodbye… brother!" Dad stated as he bid his older brother farewell.

The next scene seem to be a lot later.

Both the Hokage and my Father were standing on the Giant statues of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, where they fought the first time before my father went to Orochimaru.

"I knew I would find you here…, brings for sure back the memories, right, we used to fight here a lot!" The Hokage stated trying to hold a bit of Smalltalk

"Nothing will change, you will lose again!" Dad stated.

"I ain't going to lose like before, and I ain't gonna let you do as you please.

And I for hell sure don´t let you become Hokage…, you don´t understand what exactly becoming a Hokage means!" The Hokage stated.

"I told you…, a revolution, my version of a Hokage isn´t like yours at all!" Dad stated coldly.

"Let me tell you what your brother said.

A Hokage isn´t chosen by strength, a true Hokage Is one who´s chosen by the people!" The Hokage stated and I admired his determination with which he said that.

"Our predecessor once said, that a Village is a place where families, all kind of people gather together, to avoid killing each other.

He said it was for peace.

Itachi chose to carry that burden all by himself…, and I finally understand.

He had to live a life in the darkness with all his bitter experiences, the people treated him like a criminal, a traitor.

He shouldered all these feelings by himself but still chose to protect Konoha from the shadows.

It´s someone like him, that should have become Hokage.

Not someone chosen by people…., rather one who would take that hatred without complaining!" Dad stated.

What he said might be true, but a Ninja village need a person to look up to, to know that that person will do anything in his power to protect the village.

Someone who doesn´t even show himself, how shall anyone ever know about them then, what´s the purpose in risking your life when you not even once get told, that you actually make a good job.

The current Hokage is someone who fights for the rights of people and a world in peace, he steps into the light, saying, here I am, I take on all challenges.

That is for me someone who has my respect, rather than someone, the people don´t even know about.

Believing those things you can see, that's how humanity is and that won´t change so easy.

The next scene changed.

My Father and the Hokage were engaged in a fierce battle and both had beaten each other black and blue.

Dad was just slammed into the wall of the waterfall.

"No matter how hard I try to knock you down, you always stand back up.

GEEZ JUST GIVE ME A BREAK AND FALL ALREADY!" Dad shouted, over the noise of the Waterfall.

"I can´t help it, that's the way I am!" The Hokage stated back with determined eyes.

Both charged one last attack, the Hokage with a massive Rasengan and my Father with an Enton enforced Chidori.

Both charged against each other, and as their jutsus collided with each other, a massive shockwave emerged.

The room turned black before a new scene emerged.

I saw my dad and the Hokage lying on the ground on two giant stone hands, which were forming the seal of reconciliation, it seems to be some time after an intense Battle.

Both had lost each one arm, now I finally knew why both wore bandages around one arm.

"So you finally regain consciousness I see!" The Hokage stated while Dad was shocked at the sight.

"Yeah it´s just the way it seems, neither you nor I can move any further and we are definitely going to die here, due to blood loss!" The Hokage explained.

"Why would you go so far just to get in the way of my Plans?" Dad asked with a confused smile.

"I…, had the power to kill everything and everyone that had plunged into darkness.

Everyone I ever had met or ever would meet…., no matter who it was, would always like to kill me.

But…, not you…, in the end…., you didn´t killed me.

After all that happened, why do you still concern yourself so much about me?" dad asked.

"You should know it by now…, now that your body can´t move, it seems your mouth makes a good job, of making up for it!" The Hokage joked.

"Just answer the damn Question!" Dad stated annoyed.

"Because we are friends!" The Hokage replied.

"You said that before…, but what exactly does this mean to you!" Dad asked.

"Even if you were to ask me, I don´t know if I can explain…., it´s just…., when I see you carry that burden and going on about everything the way you do…., somehow…, it just hurts….So much pain that…, I just can´t leave you alone!"

"…." Dad only was silently listening.

"Though it well looks like today we did a good job to get this pain all over the place, heh!" The Hokage stated smirking.

"Naruto, I knew that long ago, you always used to be alone, just like me, the one survivor of the Uchiha…., you were shunned by the whole village, you did stupid, foolish things, just to get punished and noticed.

When I first met you I thought you were a good for nothing, a loser, a weakling, someone who just always gets in my way.

…But…, after seeing you getting punished over and over again on purpose,…, somehow.., it just started to get me.

At that time, I thought that your weakness began to seep into me, little by little.

And from that point, each time I would see you, you would start to get me more and more.

When I would see how desperate you were to get connected to people, I came to think about my own family.

And somehow, it would make me at ease, but at the same time, I also thought it was weak.

In order to try and escape from this weakness I trained, so I could get revenge on my brother…, so I could become stronger than he was.

In spite of that I ended up in the same team as you and once again was faced with the image of my family.

Going along with you on missions…, seeing you spouting on wanting to become Hokage, you truly wanted to become stronger together with me, I also started to feel that someday I wanted to fight you.

And then, I began to see the shadow of my family in team 7, that's why…, when I see you suffering…, that´s right…, just like you.

It would stop hurting.

When I understood your pain, which was the first time I thought of you as a friend!" Dad explained to the Hokage.

"I was jealous of you, you who seemed to be able to do anything, I had decided that you would be my rival.

You became my objective.

I, who had nothing, finally had some kind of connection…, some kind of relationship.

Doing missions as team 7 I was always following behind you, wanting to be as strong…, and as admirable as you could be.

But it was the opposite, in reality I was just jealous of you…, because you had a strength that I didn´t.

You had always walked in front of me…, just like my Brother once did!" Dad stated, before both fell unconscious again

"Today was no different…!" I heard my father´s last thought.

The Scene changed, it was morning and the two of them still laid on the stone hands.

"Uggh…, where are we, could this be heaven?" The Hokage asked groggily as he finally woke up.

"Hardly, anyways…

We must have slept till the morning,…, look´s as well as if we have survived, yet again!" Dad stated with a smug grin.

"Aaarrgggh, I still can´t move my body…, I really wanted to bash your head upside down, until I smacked some sense into you!" The Hokage whined loudly while dad only chuckled.

"hahahaha!" Dad laughed loudly.

"What´s so funny?" The Hokage asked freaking out.

"Even after ending up like this.., you still want to fight?" Dad asked smiling.

"Damn f***ing straight, I will take you on any time!" The Hokage shouted.

"Alright, I´ll accept…., however…, this time…, it´s my loss!" Dad stated smiling.

"YOU STUPID A**HOLE; THIS ISN´T A FIGHT YOU CAN WIN OR LOSE; THIS IS BETWEEN FRIENDS!

I SAID I WILL SMACK SOME SENSE INTO YOU UNTIL YOU WOKE UP; THE FIGHT I WANNA HAVE COMES AFTER THAT!" The Hokage screamed at my father in frustration and still, my father wore this arrogant, smug grin on his face.

"It might be also some kind of revolution…, if I die now, the infinite Tsukuyomi will be dispelled, also will this fate of Uchiha and Senju, which the Sage of Six paths spoke about, will be stopped once and for all…, what do you think.

After I died you could just go and transplant my right eye into Kakashi…, if I die…, I want to settle all of my debts with my own body!" Dad stated.

"If you die…, don't think that with dying anything will ever be settled.

If you´re planning to die, why don´t you work together with me who´s living instead.

What I want is the cooperation of every Shinobi from everywhere.

That includes you as well!" The Hokage shouted.

"Hah, even if I think well of you, I wouldn´t be able to accept anyone else!" Dad stated overdramatically.

"Damn you, go on, try to give me more of your babbling shit.

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS ALL OVER THE PLACE AGAIN!" The Hokage shouted losing his cool.

"Geez Dad, just give up and accept your fate, you won´t ever get away from the Hokage anyways, at least not for long!" I thought at the sight.

"What if I end up opposing you again?" Dad asked and I sighed in annoyance.

"Then I will stop you again…, but you won´t do this anyways!" The Hokage stated confident.

"How…, can you say that?" Dad asked confused.

"I´m not gonna repeat myself to you…

Geez, you still don´t get it, well I guess it can´t be helped…, you always were quite exceptionally stupid after all..!" The Hokage smirked.

"Shut it Usuratonkachi (useless)!" Dad stated loudly with a smile.

Both still lied close together, their separated arms were uncleansed and dirtied with blood, which mixed together on the floor.

From my medical side I would like to smack both in the head, for taking such a possible infection not serious, the wound was untreated and still open, they truly had luck that they didn´t died already and still, all they can do was fighting, loosing even more blood.

The scene changed yet again, and everybody was together, Mom, Dad and the Hokage alongside of Kakashi-sensei.

Mom was healing Dad and the Hokage´s wounds.

"Thanks Sakura!" The Hokage stated cheerful.

"…Sakura… I!" Dad tried but harshly was interrupted.

"Shut up, i´m concentrating!" Mom stated harshly, but I saw it in her eyes, actually she just wanted to cry.

"I´m Sorry!" Dad stated after a while.

"Sorry…, for what?" Mom asked.

"For everything…., up until now!" Dad stated.

"Seriously, that's the lamest excuse I ever heard in my entire life!" I stated full of rage.

"You better damn well be… Shanaroooo…., you jerk!" Mom simply stated and I could not understand her in the slightest.

"As if a simple ` I´m sorry ´ will help all those who died in the war or who he had killed by himself.

He might be my father, but he deserves to bleed, way more than he ever did before!" My heart pounded hurtfully, as I witnessed how my mother looked at him, with sorrow and love, I could not comprehend it.

"He was and still is a bastard, who killed for sport, who hurt his own allies and who even tried to kill mom twice and the Hokage even more often.

He was a retarded asshole, who impregnated mom and then left her, only to come back two years later and to again impregnate her, only to vanish for the next fucking 9 years, leaving her here all alone, carrying the burden of the town´s hatred twice in her belly.

Giving birth to us, the hated children of the Nukenin Sasuke Uchiha, getting herself a bad image as a whore, as the Uchiha slut, as I once heard them whispering.

My mother, the kindest and friendliest person in the world, got insulted and avoided by the townspeople, beside of her friends and all of this only thanks to my Dad´s worse reputation, which he has clearly deserve.

It was incomprehensible to me, how Mom still could be in love with him, at least today, after witnessing all of this injustice which had been directed to her.

The only reason mom, Katsuo and me never truly got hurt by them, was because we got friends who always stood at our side, who always had been there for us, unlike our father.

Still I am glad, that I was born, so I can avenge all the lost souls he unjustified brought death to…., all the people who died during the war…, all the families who had been destroyed or ripped apart.

All those people, who directed their hatred to the closest similar individual as him…., KATSUO AND ME!" I thought full of hatred for my father, still, I shall not give in too much into this hatred, we all now know what becomes of those who get obsessed with hatred.

"I am I, and I will never become like you Dad!" I stated to his image with a raised fist, tears streaming down my cheeks, my sharingan were activated.

Kyūbiko just silently watched me.

"Prepare yourself, because if I am done with Bolt´s mother, I am coming for you…., I will make you pay for the entire years, in which our family had to suffer thanks to you!" I mumbled.

Logically I only wanted to force Hinata-san to give up, I had no intentions of hurting her in anyways, but I guess she won´t go easy on me, no way in hell.

The Scene changed again.

We were at the Main gate to the town.

"Well to be honest…, under normal circumstances you would have been locked away…., imprisoned for life!" The old Hokage, Kakashi-san stated towards my father.

I guess this was the day he vanished, starting his journey from which no one really knows what he has done anyways, during all these years.

"The only reason your wishes had been entertained and all of your actions up until now had been pardoned, is because your aid was instrumental in the dispelling of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Of course, even that wouldn´t have gotten you off the hook by itself.

This is mainly thanks to support from the hero and the central force in ending the war, Naruto, and myself, the sixth Hokage….!

Make sure you keep that in mind….!" Kakashi-sensei stated.

"…So try and keep yourself under control, got it…

Cause it will be my ass on the line, this time!" he continued.

"Geez they really simply pardoned all of his actions…, seriously, fools, fools everywhere!" I thought, as I watched the scene.

"I bet Bolt thought the same way right now!" I thought.

Bolt´s Pov:

I was buff, to say the least, one of the greatest criminals was simply pardoned, all of the people he killed or brought death upon by helping to even unleash this war, how could they simply forget all this.

Honestly I would have let him sulk in a deep, deep hole, there were no sunlight will ever reach him anymore.

Still, if all of this wouldn´t have happened, Sarada and Katsuo would not have been born, so in a way I am grateful to Kakashi-sensei and Dad, still, the rage over all of these senseless deaths still burned in my mind.

Families being ripped apart, ninjas who have to tell the wife's of their best friends that their husband never will come back home again.

Mothers who lost their sons.

And all of this thanks to two, or for those who know about it, three Uchihas, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.

One each manipulated the other one, but the name Uchiha burned into the collective mind, of all those who had participated or who had family who participated in the war.

And since Sasuke was nowhere to find, the ones who got all the blame, the accusations and the hatred directed to them were Sarada and Katsuo, even their mother was shunned by everybody but her closest friends and acquaintances.

Even Sarada´s grandparents kept their distance to them for several months, after they got to know who´s children it were, looking away from their own daughter; so long until Dad and Mom spoke with them and made them see that Sakura-san needed them, more than ever.

"You are really going to leave…?

Tsunade-sama is just done with creating your artificial arm out of Hashirama´s cells!" Sakura-san stated.

"Right now, I need to see this Ninja world with my own eyes…., I must see what kind of state the world is in.

I feel like I am finally able to see all the things that I overlooked and missed up until now.

So if I don´t seize this opportunity, I might not have a second chance, to see with this kind of clarity again…

On top of that there are a few things that have been on my mind!" Sasuke-san stated to Sakura-san.

"So what if…, I asked you…, to take me with you….?" She asked him shyly.

"This is a journey of redemption for me, my sins have nothing to do with you!" he replied coldly.

"Nothing to do…, with me..!?" Sakura-san stated sorrowful and disappointed.

"I see you when i´m back….., and thank you!" Sasuke-san stated forehead-tapping Sakura-san

"Redemption, yeah right,` see you when i´m back ´, oh yeah, we know how this looks like Sasuke.

You see her, get her in bed, impregnate her, and then leaving her again, that´s the way you do it.

You once said you wanted to restore your clan, right, I bet you ran around and hooked up girls wherever you came, I won´t even know how many children you might have out there.

If you ever hurt Sarada and Katsuo in such a way, stating that you never even loved their mother truly, I swear I punch you to death in the arena, Sasuke Uchiha!" I thought, with a clenched fist and an iron taste in my mouth.

After all it could be, since there was no other reason he could have, to vanish for so long and to act the way he did, after coming back, am I right.

I swear if I find out that this asshole has spread his seamen all over the Ninja world, I as sure as hell will kill him.

The Scene changed again.

"A Search?" I heard Sakura-san´s voice.

"Indeed…, actually Sasuke told me and Kakashi-sensei to not speak about it, that's why no one else knows about this.

But since you are awaiting a second child of him, it is your good right to know what he´s doing all the time, at least that´s my opinion!" Dad stated, as he sat together with Mom and Sakura-san in their living.

"I see this must be Sakura-san´s memory, maybe now I will get certainty about what he is doing!" I thought, as I watched and listened closely.

"And what is he searching for, can you tell me?" Sarada´s mother asked, after she was silent for a while thinking about the just heard.

"As I said it is actually a secret, but it has to do with restoring the Uchiha-clan!" Dad stated, before sighing as he saw Sakura-sans confused look.

"He always believed that he was the last of the Uchihas, since his whole clan here had been annihilated.

The accentuation lies by, the Clan here!" Dad stated.

"…. I don´t think I can follow your words correctly, what do you mean with, the clan here?" Sakura-san asked confused.

"Well it´s like this…, take me for example and for better understanding.

Same as Sasuke, I also always believed to be the last Uzumaki…., since there never had been anyone coming to get me or to take care about me.

No older sibling, no cousin, no aunt, no uncle, not even Grandparents.

All I ever got to know about the Uzumaki-clan, was that the spiral symbol on our flak jackets came from that Clan.

So I always believed, that either they didn´t knew about me, didn´t wanted me, or that the clan truly didn´t existed anymore.

Only later in my life I got to know some more details, that the clan had been annihilated and that I was likely the last remaining member, Sensei Iruka told me about it.

That's why I never could understand the other kids, Sasuke has been pitied because his whole clan had been massacred, but for my clan and the fact that I too was the last one, so I though, no one cared a shit about.

But putting that aside, I obviously was surprised as I got to know, that Nagato and Karin were Uzumakis as well, two of three survivors of the so called Spiral-massacre.

Their families, different as mine didn´t lived here in Hi no kuni, but somewhere near Amegakure and somewhere near Kusagakure, after the Destruction of Uzushiogakure.

Through this Sasuke came to the conclusion, that the Uchiha-clan might as well have some families somewhere out of Hi no kuni.

That's at least what he´s hoping for, however, ever since the war, the people of the whole United Ninja-world are full of wrath towards the Uchiha-clan, as you unfortunately have experienced yourself.

Too often he was a target of Assassinations, especially in the few months as it was discussed by the five Kage and me, whether he was to be pardoned or executed!" Dad explained before he took a sip of his sake.

"That is one of the reasons why he vanished from Konohagakure to go on this journey.

So that the Shinobi of Konohagakure could not so easily attack him anymore, since one can only go out by an order of the Hokage or during a mission.

That's also the reason why he didn´t wanted to take you with him, he knew that he also would be targeted while he travels, he only wanted you to be save.

If he someday would have arrived back here, I wanted to show him something…., this!" Dad stated as he gave Sakura-san a file.

"This is…, where did you find it?" She asked him while mom was watching silently.

"During the rebuilding of the town, all the rubble of the destroyed houses has been brought away, under the rubble in the old Uchiha district, near the Defence-wall, we found an abandoned, secret basement.

In there we found many scrolls and also this one, it tells about various secret colonies of Uchiha-branch clans throughout Hi no kuni and the smaller lands around.

It are actually 16 colonies, each one stood in contact with the main part of the Clan, here in Konoha!" Dad stated and Mom and Sakura-san were slightly surprised, same as me and possibly also Sarada.

"However, at least in my opinion, they might knew about the planned coup d´état on Konohagakure and served as reinforcement groups.

Therefore it is unfortunately to assume, that they had been annihilated by Itachi as well.

Due to this assumption which I told Kakashi-sensei, he send me and a team towards these locations, and it was just as I said, the colonies had been desolated since many years, and even if there would be survivors, they would have long gone away, perhaps hiding in the underground, where no one can find them.

I wanted to tell Sasuke this, if he would have re-arrived, so he could stop his journey and stay here to take on his paternal duties.

Since then, in a way he still would have reached his goal and managed to start the recreation of Konoha´s Uchiha-clan, together with you.

I also wanted to talk him into finally marrying you, so the three of you can be officially called Uchihas, cause for now your kids still are officially registered as Sarada and Katsuo Haruno.

So long until Sasuke officially acknowledges his paternity and so his kids officially and also traditionally take upon the name of their father.

However as you know, paternity can only be officially witnessed through an official marriage and this has to be made, under normal circumstances, within 2 years after the Child has been born.

Otherwise the kid is basically only the mother´s Child and as such has also officially to take the mother´s name!" Dad stated and this came like a real shock to me.

Honestly I always thought that both Sakura-san and Sasuke-san would have already being married since before Sarada´s birth and now I got to know that they still aren´t married at all.

"The poor Sarada!" I stated, as I remembered that she saw the same I did.

Sarada´s Pov:

"I am…. no real Uchiha!" I stated full of shock and disbelieve.

I always was proud of being form such a strong Clan as the Uchihas and now I got to know that I was officially a Haruno, even though I have the blood and the eyes of an Uchiha.

Not that it was bad though, to officially be called Sarada Haruno, but I honestly also thought that mom and Dad had already married before my birth.

But I should have known about this, after all as much as I know, they have no marriage photos of them both at home and there was also no future marriage planned.

I think mom is afraid to ask Dad, as if he would leave her as soon as she begins with that theme and dad never seems to care, or to even really show some interest, about a real relationship, in a way I really often asked myself if Dad even does loves my mother at all.

Could this be, was I really a bastard-child, a product of simple lust, rather than love.

"This got to be a joke!" I mumbled as tears began to well up in my eyes.

"I see, so officially it would be too late for Sarada now, am I right!" Mom stated, having tears in her eyes.

"Under normal circumstances yes, however, everything concerning Sasuke isn´t normal at all, so we managed to register Sarada as an Uchiha, even though she is it neither officially nor traditionally!" The Hokage stated with a sigh.

"I really wish Sasuke were here, so we could settle things right her right now, it would take us a lot of problems off our shoulders, with him being here.

However, since we don´t know when Sasuke is finally coming back home, or if he actually comes back at all, this circumstance could last a long time!" The Hokage stated and mom nodded with a sorrowful expression.

"I think it´s for the best that we don´t tell Sarada that she is only unofficially an Uchiha, it would only confuse her by now, and after all, she is so proud of being an Uchiha and she wants to be even stronger than her father.

So to take her this illusion would be cruel…., sigh, I really ask myself where the hell Sasuke is this time, Kakashi-sensei and me, we mobilised anything we can but no one is finding any traces by now.

Also we don´t really want to hang it on the big bell, that Sasuke has kids, I don´t want to lure out more assassins.

Therefore, for now you can only call them Uchiha here in Konohagakure but outside they have to remain Harunos.

Since you are not officially married to Sasuke, only the people here know about your connection to him, so maybe the Assassins from outside will not attack a Haruno.

If they would know she´s an Uchiha, they would attack her like a wild wolf-pack.

Sarada has often enough been the victim of assassinations and kidnappings as well as mobbing and mistreating, especially here in Konoha, fortunately we always could safe her.

And as long as she is still so young, it is easy to make her forget all these awful things, through memory alteration, you understand?" The Hokage stated.

"Wait hold on a second, memory alteration, so that means, they far more often attempted to kidnap and kill me, than I actually thought, how many times we are speaking here, I only know about 3 attempted kidnappings and 6 attempted assassinations.

So how many times more did I stood shortly before death?" I thought in terror, all of these reveals nagged on my very soul.

I knew that the Hokage wanted the people of Konoha to be safe and that he was quite protective over Bolt´s family and mine, but I never would have guessed to which lengths he would go for my family.

All the things he had done to keep us safe, and all those things he has done to ensure us to have a lucky childhood, as best as possible.

There are no words which can describe my gratitude to him.

"Yes I guess I got what you mean, Naruto!" Mom stated after a while.

"But forcing Sasuke back home, and to make him marrying me, only for my children to become real Uchihas, is nothing I easily can do.

I just don´t have the guts to ask him, after all we barely even could be called a couple.

Also you said that he was afraid of me getting targeted if I travel with him, that's why he declined my offer, so I don´t think he will even accept the idea of a marriage with me.

Also hypothetically said, if the assassins are following him here towards Konoha, my children would be in danger too, I honestly don´t know what I shall do, or what I shall feel.

On one side I want Sasuke to finally come back for real, so he can get to know his children and help me caring about them…, but…., on the other side, I don´t want him to bring us even more trouble with his return.

What do you think Hinata?" Mom asked Bolt´s mother, concerned, confused and full of sorrow.

"In my opinion Sasuke-kun is a jerk and a real coward, I mean look at us, Naruto-kun is still a Jinnchuriki, even he has been victim to several, luckily always failed, assassinations and kidnappings, since the last war.

People, like sympathizers of Akatsuki, still want the Kyuubi for its power, as well as renegades who hope for more power, the list of people who either want to see him dead or get him in their grasp is very long.

He and I, we both know that his life and surrounding is dangerous, but this never meant that we didn´t wanted to be on each´s side, only because he would be far too afraid of my safety.

Naruto-kun knows that I am always worried about him, and so is he about me, but he also knows that I am strong enough to not easily let myself or my children getting killed by anyone.

As long as there is life in me, I will defend those dear to me, I know you feel the same.

You are strong enough to easily kick someone´s butt towards Sunagakure, so I don´t see any problem why Sasuke should not want a relationship with you, based on his fears of you being targeted at least.

You know what, in my opinion Sasuke is just afraid of being bonded to someone, at least on the basis of Love, ever since he once lost all he ever had loved.

You could say that he is so afraid of losing you and seeing you getting hurt, that he won´t even try to actually get you, without realizing that exactly this hurts you the most!" Lady Hinata stated and in a way it made sense.

Come to think of it, Dad doesn´t really seemed to be someone, who easily goes around to flirt with girls in general, so as Bolt says.

As much as I have observed, he mostly find them annoying, so it was highly unusual that he once came to Mom only for a quick love-game, even though I always thought that.

Am I really wrong the way I think about him, at least in this case?

I really hope I am, I don´t want to have some half siblings I don´t know about and I also don´t want mom to suffer any longer.

"Maybe you are right, but still, even if he would decide to marry me, there is one obstacle in the way, Mom and dad.

I love them, really, but I hardly can say that they would approve with my decision then, they hate Sasuke, ever since the war!" Mom stated and I nodded in understanding, I have seen this as well.

It has been a hard time until my Grandparents finally decided to overcome their disgust and meet us, The Bastard children of their Daughter.

I really was as happy as I was nervous, I was after all only four years old that time.

They looked at me with critical eyes, before they finally took me in their arms same as Katsuo who was only two years old, to that time, he hid behind me the whole time, looking at them shyly.

After these days of getting to know each other, the relation between Mom and her parents improved again.

So long until Dad came back five years ago, ever since they come lesser, and they always speak so coldly towards Dad.

They were one of those who could not forgive the Uchiha clan, to have brought the Fourth Ninja World war, since dad had, as much as I know through many researches of my own with help of Bolt, some associations with Akatsuki.

Also the husbands of two of grandma´s best friends had died during the war.

So they didn´t wanted to have an image-crack.

Dad was mostly avoided by the town-people, even some of his former peers avoided him.

And this hatred and mistrust was logically also directed to his children, Katsuo and me.

"I unfortunately cannot force your parents to accept, still you are an adult, so it´s up to you to decide, who to marry.

If you want to marry Sasuke, then there is no one who can say anything, which could interrupt your decision!" The Hokage stated.

"I guess you are right!" Mom stated.

"No matter what, we will stand by your side, we will help you through!" Lady Hinata stated, patting Mom´s hand.

"How come you never hated me for falling in love with Sasuke, Hinata, after all Neji died during the war, which Sasuke had helped to unleash?" Mom asked a bit confused.

"It´s because of the Question Naruto-kun once asked me.

He asked me what I would have done if it would have been him, instead of Sasuke, who would have left the village and brought Chaos over the world.

I answered that I could understand his pain and that beside all of the cruelty he would do, I would still love him, because I knew what he had to go through in his past.

I would have tried to stop him, making him see that what he does, wouldn´t make things any better, but I would never hate him for it, since I know him all too well!" Lady Hinata stated

"So you mean that you would still love him, because no one can or shall hate someone, who only defends himself against the hatred, the hurting, the pain and the wrath, for something he cannot change, which had always been directed to him?" Mom asked.

"Indeed, but this is now specific for Naruto and me, you instead want to make Sasuke see, that he has something no one can take away from him anymore!" Lady Hinata stated.

"And that is…?" Mom asked.

"Your heart and love, no one can steal that from him, you have to make him see that everything will be alright, that you always will help him to restore his clan!" Bolt´s mother answered.

"I see, I guess you are right, I have to be more fierce, still, as Naruto said, we have no idea when he finally comes back home, what if I would fall in love with another man instead for example, though I hardly think anyone would fall in love with me anymore!" Mom stated.

"Well if this truly would happen, then I only can say that Sasuke had his chance and that he blew it!" The Hokage stated with a sinister grin.

"Do you perhaps want to know someone, I can provide you with many good catches for you if you want, for example a prince, a jeweller, a daimyo, a ninja monk etc, you name it!" The Hokage stated and I sweat-dropped.

"Well…. No I don´t know, it wouldn´t be right, also to the kids, they need their real father…., not that you don´t make a good replacement father, mind you, but it´s just not the real thing you know…., sigh.., I guess I will just remain waiting until Sasuke finally returns!" Mom stated and her voice sounded so pained.

"I see, well it was dumb to even suggest it, still I only wanted you to be happy again, but I can understand your feelings, there is no one that ever can replace your beloved one!" The Hokage stated with a small smile as he embraced Lady Hinata.

"But as we said, no matter what, you can always count on us!" He said with a hand on his wife´s shoulder who nodded.

"Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help, anyways it´s already late and I got to go home!" mom stated.

"I see well I wish you a good night, and don´t forget, Sensei Iruka´s Wedding is tomorrow, I hope you come!" The Hokage stated as mom took me in her arms, stroking over the hair of a sleeping Bolt, which I was sleeping next to, hand in hand as I recognized, with a smile, whispering thanks to him.

"But of course I will come!" Mom stated with a smile.

She said goodbye to the Hokage and his wife and made her way home.

Unaware that a Kagebushin of the Hokage followed her on silent toes, perhaps to make sure that no one attacks her during her night-stroll, which would definitely not being good for my mother´s Pregnancy.

As said, the Hokage was really awesome.

"Iruka-sensei´s wedding…, I see, its already this soon…., sigh, everyone is so happily married!" Mom stated as she looked up towards the stars.

I saw her crying, before suddenly a tiny hand touched her cheek.

"Mommy, don´t cry!" my younger self said to her with a concerned expression.

"I´m sorry for waking you up honey, mommy was only sentimental for a moment, no need to be worried!" mom stated towards my younger self, caressing my hair.

The tears crashed into my eyes due to this display of longing my mother bore.

"I swear to god, dad will marry you mom, and if I have to force him to it!" I stated with flames of determination in my eyes.

The scene changed again.

This time we saw the scene from 5 years ago.

"Shaaaannnaaaaarrrroooo!" Mom shouted as her fist collided with Dad, as the same almost killed me with a Chidori, as I jumped between him and Bolt.

Dad flew right into a wall.

"Shanaroooo, that was so necessary and it felt so damn good!" Mom mumbled under her breath.

"Honey are you alright!" Mom stated running towards me with worry written all over her face, I meanwhile was carried by Bolt´s Kagebushin, it seems that he crafted him, during his flight-attack.

"I am alright mom!" I stated my legs shaking, she took me in her arms as the Kagebushin vanished, the moment Bolt crashed into the opposite wall.

"Never do something like this again, you could have been killed; don´t be so reckless got it!" Mom scolded me, pressing me on her chest, I almost suffocated though.

"I will not do it ever again, I promise!" I stated before I really realized what exactly happened.

"I-I could have been killed…!" And before any more words were spoken I fell unconscious.

"SARADA!" I only heard Bolt´s voice shouting as he ran towards us, after being scolded by his mother.

"She is alright, Bolt!" Mom stated to him, as she watched his worried face who did not a second shifted from me.

Bolt took my hands and kissed it, while tears flew out of his eyes.

"Ooooh, thank god I thought I had hurt her…, I´m so sorry…., it never was my intention to hurt Sarada…., i´m so sorry Miss Haruno!" Bolt stated stuttering.

"I know, I know, still you should not use this attack against someone you don´t absolutely want to hurt and make suffer, this is a jutsu only used against enemies" Mom scolded him, as she stroke his back, she took his chin to make him looking at her, giving her words more meaning.

"I know, but it was against an enemy!" Bolt stated with confidence.

"But Sasuke is no enemy?" Mom stated confused.

"Yes he is, he made you cry so often, don´t think I have not been able to see behind your facade, also he hurt Sarada and Katsuo so often.

He never came to their birthdays and he never was there to teach them things, to save them in dire situations, or to comfort them when they felt full of sorrow.

Therefore it is my duty to punish him for that!" Bolt stated, with wrath and hatred in his eyes.

"You are right…., he has hurt us many times…, mentally…., (and me also physically), but still, let us adults deal with him, I beg you.

Revenge is no option, I want you to be as pure and as friendly as your parents are….., (So strong and kind like Hinata, and so dependable and pure like Naruto) don´t become like Sasuke.

Revenge is something very ugly and unnecessary for you to do, on the behalf of other people.

Revenge is something personal for each person, but if you get too obsessed with it, it makes you doing the cruellest things, hurting other people and even your friends, especially when you are as strong as you are right now.

I beg you Bolt, let me and your parents deal with Sasuke…., right now, Sarada needs you the most…., to see her father almost killing her, must be traumatic for her, (I can relate to that), anyways, if she wakes up she will need you!" Mom stated (thought) and now I knew what she meant with that.

"Alright, I will do so, but only because Sarada is more important to me than my own revenge right now.

Still I swear, to not try to do this only due to my very own feelings, if I take revenge, I will do it out of mutual and collective feelings, which you guys have.

You guys maybe need Sasuke-san, because he is Sarada and Katsuo´s father, but I, I hate him, he made you all suffer for so long, I cannot ever forgive that to him!" Bolt stated and I was in awe.

I never got to know this, so to see how easily he could store his wrath away for my sake, made me truly melting away, it gave me a fuzzy feeling to see his loving glance at me, his careful touch.

"Boruto Uzumaki, we are long not finished!" We heard behind us.

"Please make him shut it or I forget myself, I swear!" Bolt stated, wrath returning in his eyes.

"I will, please go on ahead, you have to take care of Sarada for me, while I go and punch some sense into her father!" Mom stated with a smiled.

"Alright …, I will, I will be in our house, if you are done make sure to come, Sarada will definitely want to see you!" Bolt stated and mom nodded.

I then was carried by Bolt bridal style towards his villa.

I blushed as he carried me over his doorstep, this had something romantic, if it were not for the fact, that my younger self was fully unconscious.

"So now to you my sweetheart!" Mom stated with a menacing voice, as she shifted her glance towards my father, who emerged out of the remains of the wall.

"Geez what was that for?" He asked, as mom arrived before him cracking her knuckles.

"You dare to do this shit again!" Mom stated, remembering herself on the day as he and Bolt´s father fought the very same way.

"Well he attacked me with the intent to kill me!" My father stated with a sigh.

"Well he had to have a real good reason for it!" Mom stated defending Bolt.

"I don´t even know that brat, so why does he attack me, did I do something to him?" Dad asked.

"It is rather about what you didn´t do!" Mom stated.

"Stop confusing me and speak clearly, what is that brat's problem?" Dad asked before he got hit on the back-head by Mom.

"First, his name is Boruto Uzumaki, alias Bolt, Naruto and Hinata´s firstborn son, and Sarada´s best friend.

Second, he came to the conclusion that you deserve to vanish once and for all, probably because you are never here to care about your family.

And third, never, never ever again lay a hand at him, or I will rip your other arm off as well, and believe me that ain´t no joke, Shanaroooo!" Mom stated angrily, her eyes blazing with fury.

"I see, okay I won´t touch him again as long as he keeps his distance…, by the way what do you mean with my family?" Dad asked.

"Exactly what I mean, or did this term got missed by your vocabulary, while you were on your journey?" Mom asked him.

"And where exactly shall in have this family, I mean if I would have one I would know not?" Dad asked and this was really so poor of him.

"You wouldn´t!" Mom stated her voice going lower her eyes began to tear up.

"Why wouldn´t I?" Dad asked ignoring moms state completely.

"Because you are never here, and if you come you don´t even stay long enough to get to know her.

Do you know how I felt as you came back.

I thought that finally everything would be alright, you would come back home, you would have given up on your search for eventual Clan-members, somewhere out there, you would finally decide to stay here and everything would be like before you vanished the first time.

As you came to my home that night, 11 years ago, I was happy, I thought you finally would accept my love.

But all you did was seducing me, making me sleeping with you…., and then the next morning you were gone….., do you have any idea how I felt, like…, like…, like a cheap slut, which you used and then threw away.

I would have bear it, I would have stopped to love you perhaps.

Were it not for the baby, which grew inside of me!" Mom shouted at Dad, as the tears fell from her eyes.

"Wait a baby, which baby?" Dad asked.

"Your Daughter you dickhead, who else, your Daughter which had begun to grow this night, the kid you never knew about because you were never here…., we tried to contact you over messenger-animals, we even send Anbu´s and Chunin teams to get you, but not one could find you or even force you to come back.

There were even times in which you punched them black and blue, not buying one second what truth they told you, logically with the progressing time, less and lesser people volunteered to keep searching after you.

Even with an official mission no one wanted to take upon it, I could not go myself because of the Baby, so also Naruto, who cared about Hinata and the new-born Bolt.

As I needed someone I could trust, it was him and Hinata, who also helped me as I need a shoulder to cry in, as I needed someone to hold my hand during childbirth.

You won´t believe how happy I was as Naruto came to be there for me, as I thought that I would have to give birth, without anyone but the nurses around, to hold on!" Mom stated and I was buff all over again, I had no idea that the Hokage was there with my Birth.

"He even separated the umbilical cord from her body, something which actually should have been your duty.

Naruto and Hinata, both where there for me, as no one else was it, not even my parents, all of because they were still mad at you for helping to unleash the last war, same as the biggest part of the citizens!" Mom shouted to him and he was silent.

"And then, two years afterwards you came back, I thought that finally you would have get the messages I send you.

But you had no idea about your Daughter, all you wanted was to use me again for your lust, making me a second time pregnant in progress.

I even told you that you should stay until the next day, for I had a surprise for you.

Because the next day was Sarada´s 2nd Birthday, I contacted Naruto and Hinata to tell Sarada that her father finally comes home for her birthday.

And what happened, just as the last time, you were vanished without a word, without a message, do you know I felt, no, not like a slut as before.

I felt like the biggest liar possible, because I promised my daughter that you would finally come back home to see her.

Do you know what we had to do…, do you know it?" Mom shouted, tears flowing endlessly.

It ripped my heart apart to see her this way.

"No!" Dad stated coldly.

"Then ask me, ask me what we did!" Mom shouted.

"Saku….!"

"ASK ME WHAT WE DID!" Mom screamed as she slapped him across the face.

"Owww that hurts!"

"I won´t repeat myself, so ask now!" Mom stated merciless.

"What did you do?" Dad asked annoyed.

"Naruto disguised as you!" Mom shouted, at dad who was shocked.

"Shocking not, yes in order to make this illusion of a happy family come true, Naruto disguised with his transformation technique towards you, to trick Sarada in believing her father got himself free from his work to come to her birthday.

It worked, so long until we went home, Sarada looked depressed, I thought it was because the fake Sasuke told her, that he unfortunately still had some work to do, but that he would come home as soon as possible.

But no it was even worse, she saw how Naruto retransformed behind the house.

Knowing this she asked me on our way home, if her own father perhaps hated her and that it was because of that, that he was never there!

Have you even an idea, how much it hurt to hear these words, coming from your very own daughter.

I could not answer any better, I simply said that you were busy but that no matter what, you would always love her.

It was the biggest lie I told myself and her, because you didn´t even knew her, you had not even an idea that she existed.

Ever since that day, I made so many photos of her, and later also from Katsuo, hoping that the next time you come to fuck me, you see them and finally understand what you have here….., but you never came back.

9 long years you were vanished without a trace, without a message…., where have you been Sasuke…., did you fucked with other women, to spread your seed over the world.

Did you cheated on me….., even though we never officially had been together as a couple, I refuse to call myself your slut or your sexfriend….., no I consider myself as your girlfriend.

Since I am the mother of your children this is my good right…., so don´t ever dare to cheat on me or I kill you for sure and this time I won't hesitate!" Mom stated, so full of wrath that her veins were to see.

Dad backed away in fear.

"I promise I haven´t, I had no time for this!" Dad stated shacking in fear.

"Good and now get inside this house and apologize towards Sarada and Katsuo, and especially towards Bolt, Hinata and Naruto, tell them your outmost gratitude.

To them, who helped me for all these years to raise Sarada and Katsuo, to help me cope with my situation, who were there for me and my family when you weren't!" Mom stated, as she kicked dad forwards, her fury was not to underestimate, even dad knew that.

"Okay, okay, geez…, anyways where are my Children, I want to see them, and also we got to call the Parents of this girl, they should better teach their girl not to run right into a battle!" Dad stated and I was shocked, he really didn´t recognized me at all, not even as his daughter.

Even though it was at this very day, as I awoke my first tomoe of my Sharingan.

The third and last tomoe awoke 2 years ago at the starlight festival, making my Sharingan complete,…, but for what prices.

That time Bolt almost died and this time here, I almost was killed by my own father.

" Oh Sasuke?" Mom asked sweetly.

"Yes, what´s the matter?" Dad asked confused, before he ate a fist, which was making him flying right through the wall of the Hokage-villa.

"Owww what was that for?" Dad asked, but refrained from paying mom back.

"Teach your daughter the next time by yourself, to no go between attacks ever again!" Mom stated sweetly again.

"Wait…., hold on a second…, you mean…, this girl…., was my daughter?" Dad asked confused and paling.

"Indeed, your daughter Sarada Uchiha, was almost killed by you, while her friend and future teammate Bolt saved her by creating a Kagebushin, which took her out of the crossfire, while he still had his Rasengan attempted.

He is one of the prodigies of the Konoha Uzumaki Clan, alongside with his little sister Himawari-chan!" Mom stated with outmost pride.

"Wait so that brat was touching my daughter so inappropriately, oh wait you little bastard!" Dad shouted, as he rushed up towards the house.

"Dad, kick that guy out or I will do it!" I heard Bolt screaming.

"Get your dirty hands of my daughter!" Dad screamed.

"Geez that idiot, Katsuo, please come towards the Uzumaki village!" mom stated, as she pulled her handy out calling my brother.

"And bring Himawari with you!" She continued.

"Will be done, I will be there in ten minutes, keep the villa undamaged!" Katsuo joked.

"We will try it at least!" Mom replied with a chuckle.

"It sure was a real surprise…., I honestly don´t know what to feel!" Onii-chan stated.

"Be angry if you want to, he deserves to be told what has to be told!" Mom encouraged my brother.

"I see, well then I won't hold myself back, but I will do it at home, I don´t want Himawari to hear me, there are some crass things I have to say!" Katsuo stated.

"I understand, well then, see you later!" Mom stated.

"Yeah see you soon!" Katsuo replied before hanging up.

"Well then…., off to the Battleground!" Mom sighed.

The Scene Changed again.

"Are you insane Sasuke Uchiha?" Mom shouted, and I recognized it as yesterday.

"But he…!"

"Shut the fuck up, how dare you to challenge Bolt to a duel, especially after they just became a couple, do you still remember how long Sarada has waited for that moment, Two years long, how dare you to ruin that moment to her.

I swear, I am so angry I could chop you in pieces!" Mom shouted, as she took a large kitchen knife and cut the meat, she was preparing for dinner, with one quick chop.

I saw Dad gulping.

"But…!"
"No fucking buts, you going over and apologize and you going to retreat from that idea of a Challenge, or I make you going over!" Mom shouted.

" But he already accepted!" Dad finally shouted.

"Wait what…, he did….., oh how romantic, he´s going to fight with all his might for the glory of his girl….., geez he´s so manly, I tell you, if I were as old as him, I might would have fell in love with Bolt!" Mom stated smiling.

I knew she was serious, because I heard it out of her tone.

"Anyways, I better go phoning the coffin-maker and the priests, we have to prepare a funeral for you!" Mom stated, a bit too happy.

"You think he will win?" Dad asked, with a raised eyebrow.

"You still remember a month ago, as he almost killed his own father during the Uzumaki Battle Royal with his attack, Tsunade told me that Naruto had severe internal bleeding on the heart.

Normally he would have died within 5 minutes, alone the fact that Neherit somehow saved him, is the reason he´s still alive and kicking today!" Mom stated with a sinister smile.

"Why are you so happy about this?" mom stated.

"That means that Bolt has a chance to show you all of our wrath, which we cannot show you, because we still need you to work for the family.

This will be a lesson for you to understand, to never ever again butting into Sarada´s love-life!" Mom stated.

"And if I beat him black and blue and to the hospital?" Dad asked coolly.

"You want to have a taste of what happens then?" Mom asked filling chakra in her fist.

"No thanks!" Dad stated gulping.

"But I do have the right to defend myself, have I?" Dad asked.

"Indeed you have, but that won't help you, I have already made my plan to ensure, that you fight fairly!" Mom stated with a sinister smile.

"Anyways I will now prepare the dinner and after wards you can tell me in all calm, what you were thinking, as your stupid brain told you to butt into Sarada´s best moment of her life, shall we?" Mom asked sweetly, smiling at him.

"S-sure!" Dad stated, as he backed away.

"Please prepare the table honey!" Mom said and Dad did as told without whining.

He knew that mom was a volcano right now, ready to explode anytime, a real minefield which he will have to unleash after the dinner, after I was in my room with my headphones on high volume.

The scene changed again and suddenly I had that Cold feeling again.

"No…., is this?" I asked as I remembered, it was the same feeling as I saw the future during my dive into Bolt´s memories.

"No I don´t want to see this!" I stated as I saw suddenly many pictures, a real flood of gruesome pictures, so many people dead or injured, I saw my friends how they lied in the dirt bleeding to death, I saw my father multiple times stabbed, my mother dead as well, being separated from her lower body, I saw Katsuo being crucified on a rock.

The flood of horror was endless, all the people I knew where dead all but one.

Please no…, I beg you….., no more….., I don´t want to see anything…, Bolt please end it!" I cried, as the wave of horror left me almost speechless and breathless as well.

And then…..

I saw him…., Bolt…, decapitated.

"GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" I screamed in terror.

And before I knew everything went black.

Bolt´s Pov:

The Horror I saw was impossible to believe.

"Mom, Dad, Himawari!" I moaned, as I began to wake up.

"Bolt, Sarada, are you guys alright!" Inojin asked me concerned.

"What happened" I asked.

"You guys woke up with a scream out of the trance, before collapsing on the ground for 10 minutes!" Chouchou stated concerned as she helped a shivering Sarada up in a sitting position.

"How long…?" I asked.

"Only for about 20 minutes, you have 50 minutes left before the Battle begins!" Senpou stated.

"I see….., wait what?" I asked, I mean 20 minutes dive +20 minutes nap + 20 minutes dive + 10 minutes collapsing, makes 1 hour and 10 minutes, so normally we would only have 20 minutes anymore, not.

"Yeah my father came inside before, to tell us that the Hokage prepares the battlefield, which likely takes still a 50 minutes plus before the official start.

He said the Hokage wanted you four to be able to fight with all your powers without harming the public.

Also he alternates the current Arena field, also for tomorrow, seems like on each day of the Chunin exam the field get changed, to make things spicier!" Shikadai stated.

"I see!" I replied, it made sense.

After all the field was, with its 500 m in the diameter, perfect to be transformed into different areas, ever since the Arena was built completely new.

It has been mostly being destroyed in the last year, due to a massive fire jutsu from one of Kusagakure Genin, which let the roof caving in.

Luckily no one died that day, Kusagakure officially paid the building of a new arena and apologized for the damage.

"Anyways you look kind of pale, it´s best if you eat something and then chill a bit before the big battle!" Chouchou stated.

"Yeah guess this would be the best!" I said as I stood up.

I recognized that my leg were shaking.

I tried some steps, before I almost fell.

"Dammit I have to come down from this shock!" I mumbled as I sat next to a pale Sarada.

"No fear we going to get you something!" Senpou stated and the others nodded.

"We will be soon back!" They said before they went out of the room.

"Did you see…?" Sarada asked after a while.

"Yeah, it really was a shock to see all of this, if this is our future we definitely got to change it before I comes so far!" I stated.

"Indeed,…, but why did we even saw the Future, I mean my father is no Senju-successor, so he should not have the same DNA like the Mezakan clan.

So why?" Sarada asked me as she cling to my arm for mental support, I took her in my arms petting her hair like a cat.

"I think this has something to do with the soul!" I told her.

"The Soul, what do you mean?" she asked.

"When I dive, my soul gets connected to the ones whose blood I am reading, in this case yours, that's why we also could see memories of our parents long after we were born, you remember by Inojin and Chouchou I only could see their parents memories until shortly before their birth, I felt there was nothing else more significantly to see.

But then as I dived in my own and yours, I felt that even after out birth there was so much more to see.

I think this is due to the special bond we have.

The bond we have with our friends is the bond of trust and friendship, but the bond we both share is the bond of undying love, a bond far stronger than anything else.

Through this, my soul connects to yours and so also to the one of our families, the second reason is that you contain a certain amount of my blood in your veins, since that mission!" I stated, as I remembered on my greatest secret.

A secret so big that it would definitely slay high waves, if it is ever revealed to the others, I just hope that Sarada ever can forgive me.

For I cursed her and myself to near-immortality.

It was the first time Sarada and I were alone on a mission out of Hi no kuni, only the two of us, and also the last time and it happened only a year ago.

"I see, so you could say that a few memories of me are also yours?" Sarada asked.

"Indeed, our souls are deeply connected, that's why I also can see some memories in your blood, which are mine and read the memories of the Mezakan Clan out of your blood, in which mine flows too!" I stated.

"But wouldn´t the DNA being already altered, I mean normally the red Blood cells are dying after 30 days, so I normally should not have your DNA anymore?" Sarada asked.

Oh course your intellectual mind, got to think about something….., quickly.

"Well it´s always said that Uzumakis had an extreme longevity and that their blood is very strong, same goes for the Blood of the Uchiha Clan, it´s said to be extremely strong as well.

Maybe that´s the reason, that during the transfusion, both bloods mixed and created something completely new, did you made a test afterwards?" I asked her.

"Yeah but they said everything was alright, so I don´t think there is something strange!" Sarada stated confused.

"I see, well good to hear!" I said, phew luckily I managed to imagine this lie.

Though it is not really a lie, since our hearts are quite similar ever since that day, same to our body, who has 5 new chromosomes more than a normal human, since exactly one year ago.

"Anyways…., about what we saw from your father, he… how shall I say…?" I mumbled.

"He should rot in hell for his sins, is it that what you wanted to say?" Sarada asked me with an angry expression.

"Uhm, well…, yeah, but then you would not live neither would Katsuo!" I stated blushing and embarrassed

"I see so we share the same thoughts!" Sarada stated smiling.

"Wait, seriously, you think so too?"

"My father did a lot of awful things, that's undeniable after what we saw and he does not deserve our love, but since we are connected we give it to him anyways, more or less.

Anyways the point is that I want to show him where the border is, he shall not think he can do anything with my life, Mom´s right there, also is she right that you should have your chance to carry out our all wrath against him.

The entire power of my family, minus dad, stands on your side, same as your parents who too are full of wrath for his actions.

Bolt I beg you, make him see that we all, not only us, but everyone in the world, has not forgotten the war and its impact on our past and future life.

Show him that all of these souls who perished in the war, do not have forgotten their wrath, be their medium, slay him with all what you got and far beyond that, only then he might understand…, that things have gone long enough after his will!" Sarada stated to me.

"I swear I will!" I promised her.

"…. Geez…, and I always though my life wouldn´t be able to get more fucked up, thanks to dad, and now I get to know that I am not even officially an Uchiha, as long as Mom and Dad don´t marry!" Sarada stated with a sigh.

"Set it on the list!" I stated.

"Huh, what do you mean?" She asked confused.

"The ` let´s force Sasuke Uchiha to ´ list, which gets sat in motion, if he still accept the Challenge, it are the prices we get, should I defeat him!" I Stated.

"Right now, the only thing that stands on that list is, that he has to accept our relationship and has no right to ever butting into it again.

So the second thing is that he has to finally marry your mother, something which he should have done a long time ago already.

We have to force them together since your mother does not makes the first step, as it seems, still, are you sure your mother even still loves your father?" I asked her.

"Positive, she might not show it so much anymore, but she still is head over heels for him, something I never could understand and now, after what we saw, I honestly understand it even less!" Sarada answered with a sigh.

"What will you think about a marriage between them both?" I asked.

"As long as my mother is finally happy, I will cope with it!" She only said and I could understand her.

"No one would like to see what kind of monster the own father actually is, but we did it, so we now have to cope with what we have seen, all we can do is to give him the greatest drubbing ever!" She continued.

"I will be at your side, no matter what!" I said, as I laid my hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks honey!" She said, before she leaned in and kissed me passionately.

"Wow sorry to interrupt!" Chouchou stated, as she opened the door.

"Oh hey guys!" We said sweat dropping, we still were not used to kiss in public, not that we mind it though.

"Anyways, here is some yakitori and a bit of soda, eat and relax a bit, you still have an half hour to relax and to mentally prepare to kick Sasuke-san´s ass!" We heard a voice and saw the Parents of our friends standing there.

"Oh hey nice to see you all!" We said.

"Nice to see you too Bolt-san, Sarada-san, I hope you are fit enough to show us your real skills!" Chouji-san stated.

"Well as fit as anyone can get when knowingly facing Sasuke Uchiha!" I said.

"I guess so, anyways do you have a strategy?" Shikamaru-san asked me.

"Defeating him as fast as possible, can´t have it that he analyses too much of my jutsus.

Also is the opponent of the exam seeing this battle as well, so I cannot spoil all of my Jutsus, can I?

And I don´t know what kind of restrictions are sat upon our battle!" I explained.

"I see, well I guess you are right, anyways you should probably relax now as long as you can, Bolt Sarada may I have a quick talk with you two, alone?!" Shikamaru-san stated.

"Sure thing!?" We both replied confused.

Part 3/ Team Uchimaki Vs Uchiha & Hyuuga senior, the battle begins.

The Battle was about to begin, the day of reckoning has finally come.

Shortly before the battle, Sarada and I were brought in different rooms, but over the monitors I could see her.

I was thinking about Shikamaru-san´s strategy, and a bit I felt bad for cheating, still, it was his own fault that he had so many former peers who want to show him on the ground begging for mercy.

Also was it so the real thing, when I say I carry out the wrath of each of them.

"Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door, interrupting my trail of thoughts.

"You may enter!" I stated confused, I wondered who this might be, perhaps dad.

Oh how wrong I was.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Uzumaki, we are from Leaf-TV and we are here to have a quick interview with you!" The Reporter, a young woman, mid 20 perhaps asked me.

I smiled even though I was annoyed to no end, the last thing I wanted to do was an interview right now.

"Can´t we postpone this, to after I fought in the battle?" I asked.

"Sure but I doubt that you will be able to hold an interview, after being beaten to the hospital am I right!" the woman stated.

"So you think I lose?" I asked, with narrowed eyes.

"Oh it´s not about thinking, I know you will, I mean let´s be serious, you are fighting against an Uchiha, and not just a simple one, but against the Sasuke Uchiha, it is only a matter of time until you retreat!" She stated with a bright smile.

"Did ever someone told you, of how annoying you are?" I thought in wrath.

"Listen here and listen good, there is no way I will lose, no way in hell I will give him that victory, I will defeat Sasuke Uchiha no matter what!" I stated.

"Are you doing this for your own satisfaction or for Mr. Uchiha´s daughter, in which you, all apparently, have fallen deeply in love with, ever since a long time, as the rumours are saying?" The reporter asked me.

"Sigh Yes and no, I not only do it for the sake of our relationship, but also for everyone, I know that whole Konoha is holding their grudges against Mr. Uchiha and his family, still, I cannot deny that Mr. Uchiha has done many wrong things in the past, however did his children, who barely know him since 5 years, had to suffer for something they never truly knew something about.

I had to see that often, Katsuo-san and Sarada-san are people like you and me, still only because of their father, they had been avoided and outcast, something I never can understand.

After all the children are never responsible for the past of their parents, unfortunately is this a truth not many people care about.

I love Sarada, not because of her ancestry, or because I think of it as a thrill…, I love her because I want to love her, because I can love her and because I do love her, I love her for the person she is, not which I want to have.

I love her because she does not put on a mask as most other children in the town, she speaks her mind freely and she is pure, not corrupted by any unjustified rumours, like most people here in town.

As I said, it is undeniable that Sasuke-san often has made wrong choices, and also shall we never forget where these choices led him in the end, still, it is not right to make his children, innocent as they had come to life, responsible for his mistakes

A Child which hasn´t seen nor known his / her father, since its birth, for 11 years, cannot be made responsible for anything, at least this is my opinion.

Also is it not right to say that each and every Uchiha has been evil, it also gave a lot of good Uchihas who only searched for harmony and peace.

Sarada is one of these Uchihas, she never wanted to hate someone, never.., but you guys, with your rumours, your hatred against her and her brother, your out-casting and avoiding, made her this way.

I as a close friend to her, gave my everything, since my birth, to make Sarada´s life happy enough, to forget the world around her, to know that there is someone she always can count on, no matter how much she has been avoided by other.

I fell in love with her a long time ago, and I finally could tell her, so it is only logical that I will not allow anyone to break us apart anymore.

So if you hear this Sasuke Uchiha, make sure to remember, that it was me who defeated you, Boruto `Bolt´ Uzumaki!" I stated with fierce words and not an ounce of doubt in my eyes.

"I see!" The Reporter stated baffled.

"Anyways I got to prepare myself, so please leave my room now!" I stated annoyed.

"Yes I guess you are right, well anyways we are sorry for interrupting your peace!" She said, before she and her camera-guy vanished back out.

"Geeez, idiots, as if I do this only for my sake.

This is for everyone!" I mumbled.

"Sarada, I will avenge you, for all those years you suffered thanks to him!" I stated.

"Boruto Uzumaki, your battle begins in a few minutes, would you please follow me!" One of the organisation-staff knocked and came in to get me.

"Well then, let´s get this party started!" I stated, as I stood up and with a grim look left the room.

"Hello people, what´s going on in the world, welcome to the first test-run for a new event here in Konohagakure, The Great Konohagakure Clan Battle, in which the two strongest Shinobi prodigies of Konohagakure, since the last ten years, are battling for their love, with two of the four strongest Jonins of two Konohagakure Clans.

The battle of Sasuke Uchiha versus Boruto Uzumaki and Hinata Uzumaki versus Sarada Uchiha!" The MC shouted in his microphone.

The Crowd which had gathered went wild at this announcement.

"And here are the competitors!" The Mc stated, as we all entered the arena.

I saw Sarada standing on my side.

"Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha a big applause please!" The Mc stated and the crowd cheered us on.

I also could hear some shouts for Sarada, but it was mostly my name being called, this annoyed me to no end, after all Sarada was strong too.

"And here are the Challengers, Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Uzumaki!" The Crowd cheered Mom on.

"As you see has the arena changed its form since the last official Chunin exam battle from today, also is the whole arena secured by a shield-Jutsu personally crafted by our Nanadaime Hokage, so our Battler can go all out with their forces.

But to make sure that each one of them can fight without being distracted, did the Hokage also do something different!" The MC stated, before suddenly adamantine chains emerged out of the shield´s ceiling, separating me and Sasuke-san from Sarada and Mom.

But as if it was a joke to both of us, Sarada and me, a large wall emerged out of the ground, high enough to reach for the shield´s ceiling.

"Dammit!" I mumbled under my breath, I would be far easier for me, when I can see what´s going on between mom and Sarada, for I would have less to worry about.

Still, now all I could do was to concentrate and defeat Sasuke fast enough to perhaps come to the aid of Sarada if she might struggle with mom.

Not that I don´t believe in her strength, but I feel better around my heart when I can fight with her.

Now I will be nervous the whole time, I cannot even really help her with tips and strategy, when things are getting ugly.

"I hope you will be alright, sweetheart!" I stated.

"Well here we stand Boruto-kun, I hope you are ready, your dad may have saved you some time to prepare yourself and to make sure you are fit, but be sure, even God can give you now no longer help here!" Sasuke-kun stated with narrowed eyes.

"I usually make my dreams and wishes coming true by myself, I not always ask god for help!" I stated with equal narrowed eyes.

I raised my fist at him.

"I will defeat you, Sasuke Uchiha, for Sarada, for myself, for everyone!" I stated with determination.

"Well then show me all that you got, if you will be able to defeat me, I will fulfil two of your wishes as long as it is possible for me!" Sasuke-kun stated.

"I see, well I indeed got two wishes, which I want you to fulfil, first of course will you no longer interfere in Sarada´s love life.

It is her choice, who she wants to love and no one can take her this right away.

Second wish is that you finally, make someone´s dream coming true, someone who sacrificed her life and time to raise your children!" I stated.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke-kun asked.

I sweat-dropped, how dense can he be?

"I am talking about Sakura-san, you going to marry her, the way you should have done so long ago, she never gave up on her love to you and raised your children despite of being shunned by most of the townspeople.

Night for night she cried in her sleep wishing for you to finally coming back home, and as you did, you didn´t even wanted to stay, despite of knowing that you have family here in Konoha, rather than somewhere else in Hi no Kuni.

You as his brother should know that Itachi was always rather thoroughly in his work, therefore you should know that the Colonies have not survived if he knew about them!" I stated and he seemed surprised as well as shocked.

"How do you know about this?" he asked.

"I have my sources and abilities to gather informations, anyways do you accept these two conditions, yes or no!" I asked.

"Grrrr, yes, I will probably have no other choice anyways, am I right?" He asked.

"It´s not about choice you asshole, it's about whether you love Sakura-san or not!" I shouted.

"What do you know about love, you are still green behind your ears?!" Sasuke-kun shouted.

"Go fuck yourself, I was already in love with Sarada before you even knew about her, you have no idea what love even means!" I shouted.

"Easy guys, if the countdown is out you have enough time to polish yourselves each other's face!" the referee stated.

"I hope you have it better over there, Sarada!" I mumbled as I eyed Sasuke-san.

Sarada´s Pov:

I stood there and looked right forward towards Bolt´s Mother.

The same looked at me with the usual kind glance and the little smile on her lips.

"Seems like it soon will begin, Sarada-san, I hope you are ready, for I will use my every power to prove your worth, I know you are strong and that Bolt loves you, I too like you and the thought of having you as my Daughter-in-law.

Still, it is the duty of a mother to keep her children safe and to ensure that they have a good future, therefore I have to prove your power, your strength with which you are able to defend my son.

So please don´t take it all too personally!" Lady Hinata stated.

"I Know, I saw it in the memory of Bolt´s soul.

You did so much for me and my family, that's why I don´t really like the idea to have to hurt you, but I also know that you will not easily give up on this challenge.

You want to be sure that Bolt is safe in my company, and I too, I want to know if I am strong enough, to do that, therefore I will use all of my force to defeat you.

This is not only as test but it´s also about our honour, I would ridicule Bolt if I would run away from this challenge, that´s something he had taught me.

So I will not run away from it anymore, I will face it and I will defeat you!" I stated.

"Very well, I will too use all of my power to defeat you, to prove that you still have to learn much before you can marry my son!" lady Hinata stated.

"I will prove you wrong, I am ready to marry Bolt!" I stated with a grim expression.

"We will see!" Bolt´s mother stated as she activated her Byakugan, putting a grim smile on her lips.

Her stance remembered that of the Hyuuga clan but her flexed muscles had something from a tigress.

Good thing I once defeated Nekomata, I learned much in that battle.

"Indeed we will, I will win, for my love to Bolt!" I stated, as I activated my Sharingan.

It was the ultimate battle, to see which clans Dōjutsu was stronger.

The Uzumaki Clan´s Byakugan (and perhaps also the Nikkōgan) or the Uchiha Clan´s Sharingan.

The countdown was almost over.

Bolt and Sarada´s Pov:

"The tension in the arena is almost able to grab, I swear as MC I usually shall be impartial, but this time I really hope that the kids win, I don´t know about you but to me they make a pretty amorous impression.

I press both thumbs for you Kids.

But we also should not forget that this Battle is bound to get interesting.

However, as the rules are saying it, has this battle no influence at the selection as Chunin, its sole purpose is to see if the kids can get over each and every obstacle for their love, this is really romantic, at least in my opinion.

And the Countdown is soon over.

We all should sheer them on, here we go.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" The Mc shouted together with the crowd.

"We will win, for our love shall never end!" Bolt and Sarada shouted in unison, as the Countdown reached the end.

"0 and the Battle begins!" the Mc shouted.

And in the blink of an eye, Kunais crashed repeatedly against each other.

Bonus Stories: In between and long ago!

Part I: Sarin´s Adventure N°1:- Part 2/ Neherit: friend or foe, Demon hunters.

Sarin´s Pov:

The inside of Neherit´s castle was really luxurious, a lot of strange unknown things were displayed in vitrines and it kind of remembered me at a museum.

"It´s really nice in here!" I stated.

"Thank you dearly, it are mostly things from back home, as one of the Mezakan-clan we have a lot of old artefacts from long before the time of Rikoudou Sennin, as the world was completely different from today.

A bit of technology has survived the extinction back then, as much as I see, such like mobile phones, Televisions, PC´s and so on, but the most has been lost during all this time.

Jutsus and other different ways of communication, have replaced, the world of Military operations, and the world wide communication network had re-reduced itself to scrolls, letters and messenger animals as well as messenger-ninjas.

It is funny to see how the, new technology, as you call it, is coming back out of the depths of the Oblivion!" Neherit stated.

"What do you mean?" Dad asked.

"Before the First Millennium War, the world was highly modern and the technology, military or not, was high advanced!"

The only ones who could care less about the technologization of the world, were us, the Jinkensha Clan.

We held strictly on our traditions, and tried to safe as much of the planet which we could while hiding under the humans.

But Humanity, the way it had evolved, was a greedy, cruel and merciless race of animals.

They, just as today, kept fighting under each other, with the very same technology, with which they destroyed most of themselves.

In the end, they hadn´t even the power to defend themselves as the Demons came.

To be honest, I think the last great war of that generation of Humanity was the trigger that awoke the three titans.

The way in which the humanity had pested the entire Planet and killed numerous of animals as well as humans, let an overload of soul-force out into the open, from which the demons could feed off!" Neherit stated.

"I see, but didn´t you said the demons simply came to this planet?" I asked.

"So it has been written down by my ancestors, however I came to the conclusion that the demons might have been here, for a long time before even we Jinkensha´s have arrived on earth.

What if some unknown deities or civilisations, bound the three titans and, similar like we have done, wrapped the planet as a prison around them.

Putting them to sleep for a long, long time, afterwards, the planet was abandoned by them, but out of the power they used to do that, life began to emerge and evolve.

Which after many year resulted in the human race.

Seeing that the world was bound to be filled with us, these deities gave some of us, those with pure hearts, their blessing and so a part of their forces, before they sat down to sleep as well, resting their forces, somewhere where not even darkness can get them!" Neherit explained.

"I think I understand what you mean, so you had been thinking about the origin of mankind am I right?" I asked.

"Exactly, humanity is always on the search to solve one question, what is the meaning of each ones life.

I have though about this and came to the conclusion, also due to the old scripts left behind from our Ancestors, that the Jinkensha Clan has been created to watch over the progress and the evolution of this planet, to prevent Mankind or anyone else on this planet to accidently, reawaken the three Titans.

Milliards of years we were able to do so, but in the end, 20.000 years ago, what we tried to prevent happened.

The world was shaken by a war which set the half of the Planet ablaze, it was a wonder that the earth hadn´t broken in pieces that time.

We did everything to prevent that war, but we might would have only being able to stop it, by killing every single human in a position to unleash it in the first place, and that were far over one million lives to take.

In the end our hesitation cost the planet a massive loss, regardless of what, Fauna, Flora, Humanity, almost everything had been annihilated!" Neherit stated as he sat himself down I a large armchair, gesturing for us to take place.

"10.000 years passed and the planet seemed to finally begin to recover itself from it. After the War, which was known as the World-War IV, humanity kept themselves far, far away from technology of every kind, every remaining report of them was closed away and sealed within the planet, in natural holes, Mountains, mines and so on.

For perhaps a later civilisation to find it, when the earth is back to normal and to perhaps use it with care and with far more respect than they ever did before.

Then it happened.

The place, where the planet had been attacked the most during that war, broke open and the three titans unleashed their wrath on our earth.

The world stood defenceless against them, not that the little war machines would have helped anyways

In less than 7 months the Planet has been fully set ablaze, the few humans who could save themselves hid themselves under the earth.

But it had not use, the world got destroyed in a massive war.

We from the Jinkensha saw that humanity had deserved a second chance, so we re-created the planet and fought as well as sealed the forces and the souls of Two of them, and one entirely within the new Planet.

The rest of them we managed to seal far into the orbit in eight different Planets.

In the end, due to our attempt to save the planet and everything within, we paid a terrible price for it, as you still can see.

Our force however, even entirely combined, was not at all as powerfull as those of the deities, even though the titans were sealed away, their souls were and still are able to manipulate the beings on this planet to a certain degree.

There are only a few pure beings on this planet but even they are not fully pure from all evil.

And as after a while the Ninshu has been spread over the planet, the darkness even increased again.

Cruel hearts derived the Ninjutsu made for peace only, as a weapon for the own greed and so the demons could once again feed themselves on the souls on this planet to strengthen their powers to break free.

The same seems to happen now again!" Neherit explained.

"Wait the feed on souls?" Salia asked

"Indeed, and they don´t care if they take the souls from Past, Present or Future, or even from different dimensions.

After being in the last war, 600 years ago, I could get my own impression on them.

I found out that the two tinier Titans are serving as energy converter for the bigger one, they feed, as said, on souls, no matter from where or when they have to take them.

After feeding, they convert them to energy and give this energy off to their older Brother.

I hate to say it, but I am convinced that the three titans might once have been one being, which had been split in three pieces by the deities and then being sealed.

If that's the case and they will be able to unite, our chances to win are almost 0.0000000000000000001%, without these deities on our side.

Our world has been destroyed 6 times, even though we always only fought against the two tinier ones, ever since its first awakening, the big one hasn´t woken up again.

So maybe the little ones haven't had collected enough energy for him to heal.

But now, since the last war only lasted half the time it normally does, so 500 instead of 1000 years and now, since the next war seems to be 900 years too early, it becomes evident that the third one is about to awake as well!" Neherit stated and even though neither his voice nor his expression told us anything about it, I could see the fear and terror in his eyes.

"Taimuītā, also known in your language as Chronos, the Titan with the ability to penetrate through the fabric of time, feeding on souls out of past, present and future.

Supēsuītā, also known in your language as Geaya, is able to create as well open gates to different parallel worlds and dimensions within our universe, to feed on souls.

Sonzai-ītā, also known in your language as, Luziferius, is able to mostly use both abilities of his Brothers, also is he able to eat energy of every kind, be it life-force or the force of creation to use for his own purpose.

These are the three Titans whit which we would have to deal with.

Rughian kept an eye on the Saigai Kane (Disaster Bell) for me, and it appears that the Bell is ringing twice as fast as before.

If this goes forth, then they will break out soon. From this progress I can tell that the second Hell circle has been attacked so far.

I really hope it´s not happening what I think it is!" Neherit stated as he seemed to be in deep though before he sighed and stood up.

"What's the matter Neherit?" I asked worried.

"You see, I told you Uzumakis before, that there are only 150 members of my Clan remaining, haven't I?" He asked.

"Yes, so what, did you lied to us, to keep us in the dark and attack us when we are vulnerable?" Dad asked with narrowed eyes.

"Dad stop it, why are you so hostile against him, he wants to help us after all!" I stated.

"Maybe but he is too shady for my taste, how can anyone say that we can fully trust him when he lies to us!?" Dad asked me.

"Well I believe him!" I stated with a firm voice.

"I Hope you don´t regret your words later!" Dad only replied.

"I though didn´t lied to you, however your father is right Sarin, I didn´t completely told you the truth, at least not fully!" Neherit said.

"See I told you!" Dad only stated.

"It´s not right that we are only 150 persons anymore, we are way more, still, the entire Jinkensha Clan which consists of exactly 450 members has split in three oppositions.

150 members is more or less the number of each oppositions and of the remaining Mezakan Clan-members.

Me and my clan, we are the only ones who still want to defend both the Galaxy and every lifeform in it, without any expectations, the ones who still are willing to fight against the Titans.

We are keeping on the tradition of the Arch, a piece of our earth, which contains Fauna and Flora and the power to recreate itself to a new world.

A portion of the entire Humanity is brought on this so called Arch, with a few spiritual leaders of my clan, and then they are sent into other galaxies or sometimes even into different Dimensions.

This way our race and humanity survives even if the original world will fall!" Neherit stated.

"And this is this island?" Salia asked.

"Indeed, the Island is about 60.000 square-miles, as big as the main island of the land of Water, where Kirigakure is located on.

I was glad to find this place, it's quite isolated and calm and not very well know and all I had to do was to form the Mountains around.

A natural defense wall against enemies on the ground, and the shield let it look from above just like the rocks of a mountain, no one would think that there is an Island down here.

During that time, 17 years ago, as the meteors crashed down, it wiped a total of 80 large villages fully out, the soul-flames you saw in the den, are the gentle souls which were remaining here who didn´t wanted to leave for a while, or who still had some important things to do, for those I try to help as best as I can.

Anyways, this island is pretty neat for being built in only 2 months.

But I am coming way of topic here!" Neherit stated before he cleared his throat.

"The other oppositions, next to my Clan, are firstly the Galactic Defenders, the part that wants to save our Planet and sun-system, at the price of all organic lifeforms in the galaxy, means also here on earth.

Secondly are there also the Life Defenders, the part that wants to save all life, at the cost of every Planet and Star in our Galaxy, so basically they want to sacrifice our entire inorganic parts of the galaxy, for the survival of all organic lifeforms of the Galaxy in another world.

So we stand between saving all Lives, saving all Planets, or saving both!" Neherit explained to us.

"I fear that the Galactic Defenders have started to make their moves, by releasing the demons out of the Hell circles, they seem to roam through the lands lately and collect souls, to later give them all at once to the last demon.

Armageddon, the Grave-defiler dragon, the one who gets the most of the dark miasma of the Titans, a being, similar to them, who feeds on souls to fuel its own power.

The only one who might defeat it could be Vidadrac, my Sensei and Wild sage of Spirits!" Neherit stated as he nodded his head in thought.

"So basically you are saying that a part of your clan is actually releasing demons to collect souls to later sacrifice them to the Titans?" Dad asked.

"That´s pretty much it!" Neherit nodded.

"Well that's a lot to take in!" Dad only stated.

"So at which side are you, it seems to me that you try to rescue all life at the cost of the planet, as much as I can interpret the thing with this island!" He said.

"I am neither for giving up our planet or mankind, I admit, I have some minor simpathies with the Life defenders, as for bringing some life far away from this galaxy, however I am also still willing to fight for this world to survive, even if I have to die for.

Even if I would be the last Edemah Ruh!" Neherit stated.

"So you will even fight against your own Clan?" I asked.

"If it is necessary to save the Planet and everyone else, I will have to do it!" He stated.

"So you are willing to sacrifice your friends?" Dad asked him.

"I was training ever since the war was over, mastering the high art of soul-guiding and elementary manipulation, learning on how to use the entire forces of our planet to craft and destroy, learning how to create lifeforms and how to guide souls into the afterworld or back on earth when we need them!" Neherit explained and I knew what he meant, the same he did with me and Yota.

"Beside of my Sister I hadn´t much friends before, and today all those I can still truly count to my friends are Rughian, Yota, Vidadrac-sensei, father and Grandmother Chika!" He told us.

"What about your sister and your mother?" I asked.

"My mother died in the last war to protect me and my sister.

Chikara, my younger sister by 2 years, however has gone missing during this war, I haven´t seen her ever since, she, just like me, was the only one born with a body since the first Millennium-War.

We were hold for the leaders of the Destined Children out of the old Prophecy, but in the end I was the only one taught in the high art of a Sage of Spirits, as much as I know!" Neherit stated.

"I am the last scholar Vidadrac has, and I won't end up like the last one, I promised him!" He mumbled as he looked out of the window of the giant room we had entered.

"What exactly are these 27 demons anyways?" Dad asked.

"Fallen Wild-sages, mostly, or High-sages who got corrupted by the dark forces of the demons.

They have more darkness in them than even the Nine Bijuus.

And before you ask, Kaguya Otsutsuki was one of them too, she was the tenth last to be sealed, which confirms my fears that they already have reached the 3d hell circle about 20 years ago, thankfully the Hokage and his team mates managed to seal her back, before the group around this Kuro-Zetsu managed to break the second gate of this circle.

I thought that maybe only 3 demons had been released, but ever since Naruto, in secret, told me about what really happened while almost everyone else was unconscious, I was certain.

They managed to open up almost each gates of the 3 first Hell circles, flooding the world with miasma.

And right now, 8 demons are out, hiding somewhere, assembling their forces since at least 20 years, maybe even longer!" Neherit stated.

"Eight demons, stronger than the Bijuus, is that even possible!" Salia asked.

"Indeed it is, believe me, you have no idea what for beasts have created themselves during the last 20.000 years.

Since most were Wild-sages before, they don´t get affected by a reset.

Still it seems that the 9th gate is only vaguely closed again, so it's only a matter of time until Kaguya might breaks out again, still she is not even the strongest opponents which is waiting.

I fear myself about the 18th Demon which has been sealed!" Neherit stated with a worried glance.

"What´s about him..., well don´t sweat it, if he or whatever it is, comes we simply destroy it!" Dad stated.

"You ignorant fool...!" Neherit yelled, startling us all.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed on purpose, don´t forget, you have to survive the time, or else she will still suffer.

Anyways Yashin is no opponent you simply can strike, he is a Reaper, a human Sonzai-ītā, corrupted through the forces of the very same.

He uses souls to turn into energy to hold up his own immortality, one can only kill him if one is able to get every last soul out of him.

Unfortunately, has he managed to invent a way to get souls, even though he is sealed.

Through his followers, which are bound to his soul, similar to how Luziferius is using his brothers to collect souls for him.

Through Killing humans and using a dark rite afterwards, they are able to send the souls to him!" Neherit explained to us.

"That's really awful!" I stated while dad nodded.

"How did he got corrupted in the first place?" Salia, which had been rather silent the whole time, before her question earlier, asked.

"Not everyone of our clan managed to get used to the power of the Demon-eyes, no matter which one, most who tried have died, but some even got corrupted by the power and we had to seal them away; such as Kaguya, and Duhalan.

But Yashin, he is the only High-sage of Spirits, which had ever survived and ended his apprenticeship to that degree, unfortunately has he been corrupted as I said earlier!" Neherit stated.

"But what's even more unfortunate, is that he bears one of the last two Chitosegan, the other one is left with my Body at a safe place.

And since we both were learning under the same master, only I stand a chance against him!" He stated.

"I see!" dad only said.

"Sigh, it´s funny, we claim to want to save the world, but in the end it has been us who destroyed it the most, by getting us killed 20.000 years ago.

Milliards of years long we managed to keep the world safe, and then we hesitated from killing a few humans to prevent this damn war.

Only through this war, things spiraled out of control and even more Humans got killed, even today!" Neherit stated with a look of melancholy.

"You know, we once, 4 Wars ago, had that brilliant idea of transferring all the humans and animals into another universe on another planet..., but the idea was as foolish as impossible..., such a massive dimensional walk would no human survive!" Neherit stated, as he looked into the far distance.

"Baaaam!" Suddenly the gates of the Room flew open.

"Neherit, you got to come, somethings strange and dangerous has appeared!" Lady Mito stated as she entered the room.

"What´s the matter?" Neherit asked.

"A strange tree appeared near Konoha, out of nowhere, it has a whole lot of Miasma floating around it!" Lady Mito answered.

"So it begins, the miasma flood takes its toll, demons long slain are beginning to awake again, and trying to break free, just like this one!" Neherit stated.

"Rughian, go and warn the Hokage, I will take upon him, but if I am sure than this battle will not get unnoticed!" Neherit stated.

" If you want to know what I am doing all the time, then come and fight on my side, after wards I will tell you everything!" Neherit shouted.

"What´s the matter it´s only a tree not, what can possibly go wrong!?" Salia asked skeptically.

"Right now it´s only a tree, but I will not wait until he managed to spread it´s dark force over to the rest of the Konoha Forest, if that happens and Konoha is surrounded by infected trees, the People of Konoha will likely die in 2 days.

The three we are going to fight against is a demon called Kōshu daigi (Gallows-tree).

It's a demon that mostly gets created, through a lot of evil souls who are getting bound by the blood, which their corpses lost as they were hanged on a Spirit-tree.

Souls who are leaving a body, which has been murdered ore forcefully and unnaturally being brought to death, always are leaving a tiny bit of miasma back, and those with a dark soul lose even more of that.

The soul and the miasma is getting drawn to the pure, natural life-force inside a Spirit-tree, the blood that sinks into the ground is getting succked up by the tree and let it withering and deforming itself.

The massive amount of dark-spiritiual energy causes the tree to develop a certain amount of personalit.

It´s no use to burn or destroy him, as long as there is wood he always can repair himself.

And while being in its surrounding it slowly but steadily sucks your entire life-force out of you, like a normal tree the CO2 around him out of the air.

Using the souls it contains, the demon also is able to create humanoid like zombies made of wood.

It´s a bit of how the white Zetsus and the Shinju have been working.

Only that the Shinju was not really a tree made of wood!" Neherit explained.

"So if Konoha gets surrounded the trees would suck all life force out?" Dad asked.

"Indeed therefore we got to hurry and defeat it before it´s too late.

As long as it has souls inside of it, it is hard to be, but as soon as they are out we deal with a normal tree.

But be careful, the tree will keep you away by every means, also, don´t let it catch you, or else you will be sucked dry of all life-force!" Neherit stated.

"I see, but anyways, how are we supposed to get so fast towards Konoha, I mean we are several 100 miles away, it will last at least 3 day to get back there!" Dad asked.

"Indeed, if you go to foot, if we fly at our speed, we will be there in approximately 6 hours!" Neherit explained.

"But how, I mean you just have send Rughian ahead?" I asked.

"I´m not for nothing a High-sage, I too can transform myself into an animal!" Neherit stated as we arrived out of the castle.

"Just give me a second!" He stated, as he walked near the cliff behind the castle, which reached towards the sea and jumped off.

"Wait, you can´t...!" I tried to shout but he was already gone.

"NEHERIT!" I shouted as I ran to the cliff looking down.

"Uaaaahhh!" I shouted as I suddenly saw a dark shadow rising up from above.

"Swwwoooossssshh!" A massive being rose from the cliffs, before it soared up in the sky, it was only vaguely to see, before it came rapidly at us.

"WaaaaahhH!" We shouted as we were about to run.

Suddenly it stopped right before us, a giant being with mighty wings which blew a strong gust of wind in our faces.

The size of this being was at least 9 meters of height, with 4 meters of wingspan.

"Is that you Neherit?!" I asked, afraid, awestricken and fascinated at once as I witnessed this being, landing right before us.

It was giant Tengu, a crow-Tengu to be precise. Alongside of a large black pant he wore an armor and several arm protectors.

Around his neck was a giant black beads necklace, like that of a monk, only with a black skull on its end.

He wore Two Onimasks as shoulder protectors and a massive Helmet with a sickle-moon on it.

His claws were large and absolutely deathly, and he held a massive metallic battle-pole in his hand, with a massive Blade on one side and a sickle like blade on the other side.

All in all his appearance was quite fearsome, but somehow there also was a feeling of secureness in my heart.

"Indeed, dear Sarin-san!" The giant human-like bird stated over telepathy.

"Well holy shit!" I heard Salia stating in awe as well.

"If you are done with scanning me we better hurry, maybe we are right on time then, the soul-sucker ability is not able to go through inorganic material, so as long as the people stay in their houses with closed doors and windows, nothing will happen!" Neherit explained.

"Then we have to hurry even more!" Salia stated.

"Why, not that we won´t, mind you, but you seem to be even more rushed?" Neherit asked.

"This evening, is the Starlight festival and before that is the Chunin exam!" Salia stated.

"Oh shit you are right, then at least ¾ of the entire Town will be on the streets and therefore target to the tree!" I said.

"We have to hurry!" Dad said.

"You got to hold on tight then, maybe I can slay the 5:30 hour-mark!" Neherit said as he bended allowing us to climb his back.

"Mito-san, please look after Yota-kun and stay here with Nagato-san, he is in the garden with Konan-san!" Neherit stated towards Lady Mito, he seemed to be rather close to her.

"Here we go, hold on tight!" He stated as he raised high in the air with a few flaps of his mighty wings, as he jumped over the cliff making first a nose dive before flying in a looping high upwards.

All we could do was to grip a strong grasp of his armor, which he wore.

"How come that this demonic tree is attacking Konohagakure in the first place?" Dad asked.

"I think that with the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the annihilation of its people 35 years ago, most of the demons which they had caught and sealed begin to awake and break out of their prison, which seals are since all this time mostly uncared for.

35 years ago, beside of Karin, you and Naruto had no one of the Uzumaki-Clan survived the Spiral-massacre, and perhaps beside of you no one of them knew about the locations of all the seals and she shrines or graves.

So it´s only logical that after all this time, the demons begin to break free, one by one and make hunt on the last survivors of the Uzumaki clan to fully exterminate them and so all threats of being re-sealed again.

And the last Survivors of Uzushiogakure, are you guys, so it is to assume that in the next time we will have to fight against more of these Demons, each one has different abilities and several of them are very hard to beat, or to seal and logically each one of them had probably enough time to assemble it´s forces.

Sigh if only we would get Ashina´s soul in our grasp, he was the last leader and still some decades before his death, it is a shame that he has not given any word about everything to his oldest daughter, Mito-san.

And all the scrolls are well hidden, even for my own.

Most of their souls have been taken out of the afterlife, until now I only found, next to Mito-san, 4 remaining Souls, Honoka Uzumaki, Himari Uzumaki, Nagato Uzumaki and... !" Neherit explained and I suddenly had that bad feeling.

"No!" I said loudly cutting him off.

I was not ready to tell Salia or anyone about my state.

"What´s the matter Sarin?" Salia asked me confused.

"Got to find a topic!" I thought, as I searched for a solution of the dilemma.

"Did you said Himari Uzumaki?" I asked Neherit.

"Indeed..., you know here, right?" He asked.

"It was the name of my mother!" I stated with a sorrowful glance.

"She was a strong and skilled Spirit-tamer, able to tame and purify mighty elemental spirits, who former terrorized as demons some villages.

Defeating and taming them, she was able to put them under her very control, but with her death also the sealing contract has been broken and all of them were released, they perhaps hid themselves somewhere!" Dad explained.

"I made it to my mission, next to find the murderers of her and our clan, to find the spirits and seal them back into her long Bead necklace" I said with a determined look.

"Nice to hear, well me too, I made it to my mission to save the world and to later step into the footprints of my maternal grandmother, Lady Chika.

She is our elder, the only one who more or less survived until now all millennium-wars, even though she always fought at the front, risking her life to save others more than once.

During my apprenticeship I wanted to be like her, she was the3rd last apprentice of Sensei Vidadrac and a strong fighter, as well as a mighty Elemental-Alchemist able to manipulate the nature.

Also was she a highly talented Sage of spirits, that's for sure, she taught me almost everything she knew of!" Neherit told us with a melancholic glance.

And once again I was remembered, that I knew close to nothing about my savior.

"What exactly is a Sage of Spirits actually, what does he do?" Dad asked.

"All to the right time, let´s first get towards Konohagakure and defeat this evil tree, afterwards I am willing to tell you anything about your questions as long as it is possible for me to answer, shall we?!" He stated.

"Yeah, we got this!" We shouted, as we soared through the sky towards Konoha.

Things were bound to get dangerous, but we had no idea that this was long only the beginning of the terror..., still little we knew that from now on, the peace was over.

Part II: Team Uchimaki, a Mission for two:- Part 1/ The legend of the Fire Lord.

1 year ago, a week before Chunin Exam Finals.

Bolt´s Pov:

It has been on the early morning of a sunny day in the summer, here in Konohagakure.

Things were already busy, since we only got the message to go towards the Hokage´s office.

Guess my father has a mission for us.

"Bolt hurry up!" Sarada Uchiha, my best friend and my team mate shouted, as she ran before me.

"I´m coming, relax…., I only woke up an half hour before.

Geez why can´t they come to us in the noon, rather than already this early in the morning?!" I asked myself.

"Less whining and more running, c´mon!" She stated.

"Yeah i´m coming, no need to drill me like a sergeant!" I stated.

The Hokage office was already in sight anyways, about 20 rooftops ahead.

"By the way where´s Senpou, is she waiting at the office?" I asked.

"Don´t know that, I also only could get you, since both of our residences are lying right next to each other, but Senpou lives on the outskirts of Downtown on the opposite site.

I don´t know if she´s already there, anyways we have to hurry!" Sarada stated.

"Sure thing!" I stated.

I lasted another ten minutes until we arrived.

"There you are finally!" dad stated.

"Well mom still wanted to make me a Bento and different as you I cherish her food!" I said to dad with minor venom.

"Sigh…, anyways, let´s get this meeting starting, I have a mission for you two!" Dad stated, simply ignoring me.

"Eeeh only for us, what about Konoha-sensei and Senpou?" I asked same as Sarada.

"Both of them have different missions, Konohamaru is for the moment not in the town and Senpou has been officially asked to represent Hi no Kuni in an international Taijutsu contest, also is the Team of Mirai-san not in town either!" Dad stated.

"Now that I think about it, I do haven´t seen those guys in a while, oh well, it´s not as if I don´t trust Sarada´s power, not at all, but what is this job about anyways?" I asked.

"You two going to be the Bodyguards for Lady Hanako Kiokuri, the High-priestess of the Fire temple here in Hi no Kuni, in a place called Fiero Village, wherethe annual temple visit is coming up.

But renegaded Ninja´s who have terrorized the town since some time now, had forbid them to go after this tradition.

But Lady Hanako will not give up on it, she wants to give her gratitude to their Guardian God, a being called Horusaru, the lord of Fire, who switches all night from a human to a phoenix!" Dad stated.

"Aphoenix, you mean a Bird with feathers which are catching fire without burning!" I asked.

"Indeed my son.

According to legend did Horusaru´s fire-shine, as a phoenix, rescued a nomad clan, as they came into a terrible thunderstorm, right within the mountains.

They had lost all orientations and the mountain unleashed a giant avalanche, which took most of their cows and donkeys with the food down the mountain.

The shine of Horusaru led them towards a giant open field of grass.

A nearby volcano erupted and led lava over the field.

The lava ate its way over the field turning it to ashes.

The Rain quickly cooled the lava turning it to stone and volcano-ashes.

Horusaru shall have told the leader within a dream to plant the seamen, they had with them, in the field.

They did as said, and after ten days and ten nights, a rich field of vegetables and fruits has grown upon the former Lava field.

This way the Nomads could have food to tank their forces.

Afterwards Horusaru shall have ordered the Clan-leader to build houses on a nearby mountain, out of the Lava stone.

It could keep the warmth of the sun and need no fire to remain warm in the evening, only in the winter.

The Clan did as told and so survived the coming winter without any deaths to claim!" Dad told.

"Amazing!" I stated and Sarada nodded.

"Indeed but there is more to it, listen well.

As the last order, Horusaru shall have asked the leader to sacrifice one of his best cows, to bring it by a virgin maiden of 20 years, into the volcano alive.

The girl should also have no fear, but a strong character and a durable spirit, preferably the daughter of the Leader.

Unfortunately had the daughter of the leader only being born.

So the leader asked upon the lord for a delay of this wish.

The God would have granted it.

But fearing for the god to might turn his back on them, the leader´s wife volunteered to come into the volcano all year, so long until her daughter is 20 and so old enough to take upon her duty.

The Fire Lord agreed to this condition, for he was a kind god.

And so 20 years passed and the fated day came, the mother, now an old woman of 50, gave her yearly duty over to her daughter.

Within the Volcano, the daughter of the leader, which they had chosen, experienced something incredible, a young man, dressed in a fire-red royal attire appeared before her, telling her that for each year they decide to remain to reside here, the Clan has to sacrifice one of their best cows, which had to be brought by the fierce daughter or the son of the leader.

At the question of what he would do with her, Horusaru answered that the daughter would not be harmed in any way.

That she would just have to spend a bit of time with the fire lord and giving birth to a successor of the Fire lord, whenever the time for a new one to climb the throne has come!" Dad told us.

"Wow, bet she was rather furious!" Sarada stated.

"Not at all, remember this story is at least 500 years old, to that time the humans still believed in gods more than today.

Anyways the daughter, who wanted to thank him for the wonder he brought about the clan, gave her virginity to him and after a year of pregnancy, she gave birth to a healthy and strong boy.

Horusaru appeared in the dream of the Girl.

He told her that the Boy had to live 30 years within the village, before he has to take upon his duty as the new Fire lord, but he would to have to come with his mother every year into the volcano.

The Fire Lord would meanwhile remain to rule over the village, defend its people and the land around, for all this time, remaining 51 years more on the throne.

Before the new Fire Lord would have to take over, remaining the next 51 years on the throne with the old one as advisor.

During his growing the leader´s 10 years younger brother, had a daughter as well, which became 20 the day the Leader´s grandson became 30.

So it was clear that the new Fire Lord would have her as his wife!" Dad explained.

"Well that´s sounds weird but why not, if it is to ensure the village´s blessing!" I Said.

"But what happens if there will be only girls being born all of a sudden!" Sarada asked.

"According to the history of Fiero Village, will with each death of a Fire lord after 102 years, he be reborn in the next generation from anew, wherever as girl or boy!" Dad explained.

"I see, that´s quite convenient I would say, anyways you are saying that we have to ensure Lady Hanako to be able to do that shrine visiting with her Son am I right?" I asked.

"Indeed, Lady Hanako´s son, called Fushichō, just happened to become 30 this year, therefore it is his duty to become the new Fire Lord, no matter what, this shrine visiting has to become a success, therefore you two will make it becoming one, I read your files thoroughly and I am positive that you two can handle it.

Still if anything happens, I want you to use the jutsu I have taught you a while ago, the Hiraishin mark on this little friend sends him right to me.

He will observe anything, so if something goes wrong, then don´t hesitate to send him to me and I will come instantly!" Dad stated as he summoned a toad out of nowhere.

"Sarada, your mother gave me this for you, it´s part of Lady Katsuyu, it will help you to improve your medical powers, they are quite high since the last year, and with lady Katsuyu, you guys should have no problem to heal each other.

Also is her mind connected with her part here in my office, which is with Shizune-san, so just in case something might happen to Gamatech, I am still informed about what's going on and can move accordingly!" Dad stated, as he each gave us the small toad and a slug in our hands.

"Nice to meet you, pal, i´m Gamatech!" The Toad stated as he fist-bumped me.

"Hey Buddy, i´m Bolt Uzumaki, nice to meet you too!" I said with a smile, he jumped up on my head and sat there, getting himself a comfortable place.

"I´m most pleased to meet Sakura-sama´s Daughter, it is an honour to me to make your acquaintance, Young Sarada-sama!" The Slug stated to Sarada, who tried to hide her disgust.

It was not that she found Katsuyu not nice, she just didn´t like slimy things, this has been so ever, since some bullies had made themselves a fun, of putting normal slugs on her hair in the Kindergarten.

"H-hey, n-nice t-to meet y-you!" Sarada stammered.

"Well then, here is the location, do you have everything?" dad asked.

"We just have to still pack some things but in a 40 minutes we are ready to go, still, are you sure we two will be enough for this job, I mean what if we, though I doubt it, but what if we both are getting taken out, then nobody can help Lady Hanako. Wouldn´t it be better to have one Jonin with us, or at least another member?" I asked.

"Indeed that might be, but most of them are out on missions in different lands and those who are here are needed to secure the villages, we might have had peace for several years, but you never know, so we cannot be too careless.

Also it does not seems as if any other Genin who still is here can be compared a valuable addition to your skills.

If Senpou were here I would have instantly get her in it with you, but right now, you have to deal alone, I will send back up as soon as possible I promise, just hold out until then, can you do it?" Dad asked.

"Sigh we will try our very best, Father, but we cannot guarantee anything, only that we will fight until the end and that we defend as many as possible!" I explained.

"Indeed, we know we are strong, still, something like last year should never happen again, I trained my medical ninjutsu feverish, so I can be a walking hospital at any time.

Also, if Lady Katsuyu´s part can help me to enhance my power, I am positive I can heal anything as long as no one rips our hearts out, or our heads off!" Sarada explained.

"I see, well I give you the responsibility that nothing happens to my son, as long as the Backup needs to arrive!" Dad stated, making Sarada and me blushing.

"Anyways, all further notices about your job are written within the letter here, read it when you have arrived at your first stop, this should be around here, it´s on half the way, the travel to Fiero Village will last four days, approximately said.

The visit to the temple is in five days which is your deadline, so don´t you dare to get their too late, or else you will not see a single coin of the salary!" Dad stated.

"Roger, we are on our way!" I said.

"Umm, who´s going to be the leader by the way?" Sarada asked.

"It´s gonna be Bolt for this time!" Dad stated.

"Me, are you serious?" I asked.

"Sure…, unless you don´t want to?" Dad stated, with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course I want to…, I promise you dad, this mission is going to be a success!" I said, with determined eyes.

"That´s my Boy, now go for it!" Dad stated.

"Alright, don´t worry, we got this!" I said, as we both bowed and left the room.

"Alright, time to get things packed up, we meet in 30 minutes at the gate, stop for nothing, you hear, I bet we might make it in at least 3 and a half day is we hurry, so we have to get out of here as soon as possible.

Make sure you got anything, if not, borrow it from your parents and if they don´t have it I will lend you some of my things, I always got my standard Ningus 4 times, we cannot make a stop to buy something we need!" I explained, as we arrived in our street.

"Sure thing, well then I get going, see you soon!" Sarada stated, before she ran over to her villa.

"Yeah see you, well then here we go!" I said, as I ran through the gate.

"Hello Bolt-sama!" One of the Guards of the villa stated.

"Hello, nice day for a mission right?" I stated.

"Indeed, but be careful, there are rumours that some renegades are hiding around the outskirts of Konohagakure, but i´m positive you and your team will have no problems!" the Guards stated.

"I will watch out, anyways got to go see you later!" I replied.

"Sure thing, and good Luck!" The Guard said.

"Thanks, I can need it!" I shouted after him, as I ran up to the main entrance.

"Mom, it´s me, if my Flak Jacket ready?" I asked.

"It´s in your room honey, do you have a mission?" Mom asked, as she looked from behind the kitchen door.

"Indeed, Sarada and I are going to travel to the border of Hi no Kuni, to the Shrine of the so called Fire Lord, to be bodyguards for a priestess and her son, anyways I got to hurry!" I stated, as I ran upwards in my room.

"Oh hey Bolt, what´s the matter, you seem in a rush!" I heard it behind me, as I ran through the hallway.

"Oh Hey Aunt Hanabi!" I stated as I met my Mothers little sister by chance.

"How often did I told you Boruto, call me Big sister Hanabi, Aunt… that makes me sound so old!" Mom´s sister stated in disgust.

"Sorry Hanabi-nee san, anyways got to hurry I have a mission, together with Sarada!" I stated.

"So you finally have a date, I see, are you already so far!" She asked with a cocky grin.

"It's a normal mission, it´s no date!" I stated back, blushing deep red.

"Sure thing…., still…., you two are going to be all alone together….., and you know what might happen if a boy and a girl are all alone in the woods!" She teased.

"Oh c´mon stop it, Hanabi-nee-san, Sarada and I, we are not like this, we are teammates and friends but that´s all there is!" I stated, blushing.

"Are you sure…., does Sarada thinks so too…., or is that only your opinion?

It´s hard to believe that she shall be only a friend and teammate to you anymore, don´t deny it, I know you like her very much, or else you would not wear the bolt-necklace she gave you, all the time, even at night!" She asked me with a smug grin.

"We are not like this!" I shouted.

"Yeah go on…, just keep on denying it…., sigh you know…., this is one of the bad things that you inherited from your parents, Hinata´s extreme shyness and Naruto´s cluelessness about love!" she stated, shaking her head in disbelieve.

"What are you talking about…, wait.., never mind I got to hurry or i´m going to be the one who´s late in the end, I will deal with it later, just, don´t go and spread false rumours, got it!" I stated to her.

"No fear I won´t, but if you love her, you got to tell her soon, or someday someone will come and steal her away from you!" Hanabi-nee-san stated.

"Sigh, I will look what I do, anyways see you later I got to go…., and anyways…, I don´t even know if Sarada even harbours such feelings for me!" I stated, as I went further to my room, packing all things.

Hanabi´s Pov:

"Oh you bet she does, it is really a shame that you forget your confession, my dear nephew.

I like Sarada, she is nice and not like everyone says, she is not like her father, which is enough for me to know that I can trust her with Bolt.

Even Salia says that, even though she sees them only rarely together.

Not even a blind man would be able, to go over the fact, that these two are made for each other!" I thought, as I walked through the hallways.

It was just like with Big Sis, back then as she and Naruto-kun still were no pair.

She was so desperate to tell him, but she just didn´t found the guts to do so, at least not that I know, I think Naruto-kun has confessed to her first.

Well i´m not better, I too had some feelings for Kono, if I shall be honest, but I mostly only had a far, far rivalry with him, since I barely knew him before we had already being married with each other, behind our backs by our both grandfathers.

The only things I knew about him was, that he came from the Sarutobi clan and was a prodigy, same as I was been labelled as the prodigy of the Hyuuga clan.

"Still as much as I know, he has been called this way but only ever since he knew and learned under Naruto-kun, same as Hinata!" I mumbled, as I turned around the corner to my room.

I sat myself on the bed, drifting in a sea of thoughts.

"To be honest, so many strong Jonins here in our village, have only gotten so far because Naruto-kun inspired them, with his will to never give up and to go through every challenge.

In a way I too was influenced by him, ever since I got to know him better, as he and Sis began to date and he came more often to us!" I thought.

I admit, at first I was not so sure of how to think about him, I mean he had always been told to be a nuisance and someone neither of us both, Hinata and I, ever should get involved with.

That's why it also had been so incomprehensible why my big Sister idolized him so much…, at least until he defeated Neji-Nii-san and Gaara-san, since that day I thought a little better about him, then he brought Lady Tsunade back to us and went on a long Journey.

During these years I saw not only Hinata training hard, but even Neji, so also all of their teammates and friends, as if they fear that Naruto-kun would leave them in the dust, still in a way he did.

"After he came back things went up and down, just like a rollercoaster.

First the hunt after Akatsuki, the kidnapping of the Kazekage, then the destruction of the town, as he defeated Pain, and then the Fourth Ninja World war, which he ended together with Sasuke-san.

Not that it ever will make up for all the deaths the very same Sasuke Uchiha had brought, by helping this war to even been unleashed!" I kept on thinking as I looked at a picture of Hinata, Neji and me, up on the wall.

I hated him and not only for Neji-Nii´s death, but also for all the things he put Naruto-kun as well as Sakura-san and her family through.

Ever since Kono and I are married together, I got even closer to the two families.

Naruto-kun had always been concerned about Sakura-san and her circumstances of raising her family all alone, he helped her where he could, this I held in high regard.

He and Kono, even with their hard pasts, managed to become the best Fathers ever.

After Kono´s uncle died, he was the last of his Clan, his Parents, so he told me, were prodigies and Jonin of the Anbu corps, they were assigned to search everything concerning about Orochimaru.

Kono´s mother, Asuna Sarutobi was Asuma-san´s 10 years older sister, she had been in a team together with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze and Teuchi Ichiraku, under Naruto-kun´s old sensei Jiraiya-sama.

Their master vanished to go investigating about Orochimaru and Akatsuki, and both her male teammates have either died, like Minato-san, or decided to quit the active duty and take over the Family business, like Teuchi-san.

Asuna-san was the only one who remained in the active duty, where she got to know Konohamaru´s father.

3 years after the Kyuubi´s assault at the village and also 3 years after Asuna and her boyfriend married, Konohamaru had been born.

After several Ninja´s failed on one and the same mission, the two of them took again upon their duties and Konohamaru was left in the Custody of Asuma-san, who had just become a Jonin.

It though should have not been for long, until he had to become his new father, for a few months after Kono´s birth they were found murdered.

Ever since that day Asuma-san and Kono were living together and Kurenai-san, that time only a good friend and former Teammate, helped him to raise the same.

During this time both had to give up on the active duty, until Konohamaru was 7 years old, old enough to get into the ninja Academy, also they came closer together due to the raising of the child.

They taught Konohamaru early that they were not his legitimate parents, but that they would love him just as equally, which they actually did.

One does not always see it but Kono had actually a strong bond to them both, even today

So in a way they all were an unusual but happy family, even after Konohamaru had become Genin.

So long until the Third Hokage and Asuma-san died, which spiralled both, Konohamaru and Kurenai-san, far out of the same path the had gone together for so long.

Kurenai was more concerned about her growing Baby, and Konohamaru wanted to become stronger, to protect all of his beloved.

This state lasted for several years after the war in, which he trained day and night, often not coming home.

Going over his grandfather's things one day, he found an old scroll for a summon, shortly before I was kidnapped.

So he summoned his Grandfather´s Kuchiyose partner, the same however had sworn to only ever serve one master, which was the Third Hokage.

Instead he offered him to make a contract with another one of his specie, and so Kono trained hard and finally, in a few months after the Moonfall case, he managed to learn how to successfully summon a Kuchiyose animal, in this case the Ninja-Monkey, Saru no ōji (Monkey Prince) Enru, Monkey King Enma´s son.

With this new power and partner, Konohamaru swore himself to keep the kid, Mirai-chan, as well as everyone else he cared about, safe and sound, just the way Asuma-san had done with him, as his parents died.

He and Shikamaru-san both managed to help Kurenai-san raising a fine daughter.

During this time, Konohamaru begged Naruto-kun to become his apprentice, so to say his unofficial scholar, to learn more, to become a stronger ninja and perhaps the Sensei of the Kid.

This made him strong, strong enough to be called one of the Top Jonins of Konohagakure, he was an U.N.B.T. Champion after all.

But instead of him, it was Naruto-kun which had been announced as her new Sensei, since he had more experience as a Ninja and already was Jonin anyways.

But Konohamaru was not disillusioned after being told about this, no way, he kept training hard, even more after Salia came to us and he had another one to protect, even more than before now.

Due to his training with Naruto-kun, Kono even improved, next to the regular Rasengans as well as Naruto-kun´s Fuuton enhanced variations, his very own versions of the element-enhanced Rasengan.

Such as the Katon: Gōen Rasengan (Fire-style, Great Spiraling fireball) or the Katon: Rasen-jō Bakudan (Fire-style, Spiraling bombshell), combining Katon: Haisekishō (Fire-style: Burning Ash) with Rasengan.

"The Gunpowder gets made quiet compact around the trigger, which then is surrounded by a layer of Rasengan-shaped Fuuton-chakra, enclosing the gunpowder within it.

Through this the chakra gets a bit heavier, enough to throw the Rasengan.

At least according to how Kono explained to me!" I thought.

"So even if the Enemy would dodge the Wind-ball, the explosion still gets him, still it´s not without a risk because you have to throw the ball far away before igniting it!" I mumbled.

A trigger, in form of a mini Kibakufuda wrapped around chakra-leading metal in ball-shape, ignites it from the inside.

However it needs Two Kagebushin to even craft it, similar to the way a Rasen-shuriken formerly has been crafted by Naruto-kun.

It was Konohamaru's only Spec. S-rank Jutsu, this rank mostly gets given for extremely strong and dangerous Jutsus, which can only being used in combination with either a Clan´s Hiden or a Kekkai Genkai.

The same rank gets used for missions which only a Ninja, at the level of a Kage or a Jinnchuriki, can absolve.

Spiraling Bombshell is a unique Jutsu at Kage-level, which gets not often used by Konohamaru, mostly only as a last resort, since it´s just too dangerous.

One must be extremely careful, since the Kibakufuda could ignite the Haisekishō at any second, which would result in the user's self-destruction.

"Also is it unique, since it needed knowledge about the crafting of a Rasengan, enhancing it with Wind Chakra, as well of the Sarutobi Clan´s Haisekishō and the knowledge how to use all of this, in combination with a Catalysator, the Kibakufuda around the Chakra-leading metal-sphere.

It is a Kinjutsu, which up until now only Kono, knowingly, has ever mastered, it is not clear if Mirai-chan can use it as well, to be honest I rarely saw her fighting anyways!" I thought in awe and glee, my Husband was sure awesome, same as his family.

It was not even sure to me, if Mirai-chan perhaps has learned the Rasengan as well, either from her sensei, Naruto-kun or her cousin Konohamaru.

To be honest I was way busier with my own life, raising Salia and often looking over Bolt and Himawari as well.

I looked over to a photo of as all together, I remembered that day well and it gave me a fuzzy feeling.

After Kono and I had married, at the age of 18, we were together for one year as something even more incredible and unbelievable, than an arranged marriage behind our backs, happened.

Salia, the daughter of Kou-san and Natsu-san, had been found by my father, all alone in a forest in a house.

Her parents had send him a letter on a bird, whit the location of her, should they die.

A few days later, her parents were found by Members of the Branch-family dead, with several Main family members around them, each one dead as well.

Kou-san and Natsu-san shall have died arm in arm with a pained smile, perhaps because they knew that Salia would have a better life.

However Dad was too old to raise another child and beside of me and Hinata no one was able or wanted to take her in, still Hinata had already all hands full with Bolt and the growing Himawari, so I decided to take her in with me.

It had been a shock after I got to know a year before several months after my marriage with Konno, that I would never be able to become children.

During a training session with my father I accidently was hit in the stomach, which damaged my body, taking me the ability to bear a child.

I was so afraid that Konno would leave me as soon as he get to know this, so I tried to hide it from him, but eventually he found out somehow.

He said that it did not mattered that I was unable to become kids, that he still would love me and that there was still the ability to adopt a child.

I was so glad that he still loved me and that my inability of giving birth did not scared him.

However it scared the Main family, after they got to know about my circumstance I was quickly dumped by them.

They tried to get Hinata as a new heiress, but she refused, not only because of what they did to me, but also because they tried forcefully to give Bolt the caged bird curse-seal.

They even tried it with Salia-chan shortly after we adopt her, 2 years before the 3rd Birthday Affair, as they managed to kidnap Himawari at night.

But boy did Konno flipped out, same as later Naruto, did he slay 40 of the Hyuuga elder´s best helpers to the hospital, before he was able to get her back in time.

This was shortly after she was with us, before I had been uncertain that time, if I would be a good mother to Salia, and I was afraid if Konno might not be able to love her like his own child, but after this night all the doubts had been erased.

I told myself that I had and would become a good mother to her…., since Natsu-san had always been there for me, it was the least I could do to repay her kindness, care and warmth for all these years.

My mother died shortly after my birth and Natsu practically raised me like her own child, so in a way it was similar in my relation to Salia.

Ever since these days Salia is like a daughter to me, better said she is my daughter.

"Geez, I wonder when she starts to take an interest in Boys, who is she going to choose as her beloved, I hope she find someone like Bolt!" I mumbled and suddenly I was hopelessly caught in thoughts, about my adolescent daughter and her coming puberty.

Meanwhile in the Uchiha Villa, Sarada´s Pov:

I came home and instantly went up to my room to pack my belongings.

Our villa, was tiny, compared to the Uzumaki Villa, still for me it was perfect, not so big to get lost, and still big enough to not be called normal sized.

Dad brought a whole bundle of money with him, from his travels, with which he paid some carpenters from outside, who didn´t knew something about his worse reputation in the village.

The Hokage personally shall have helped as well, with a hell lot of Kagebushins.

"Sarada are you back?" I heard it after a while coming from the kitchen.

"Yeah i´m in my room!" I shouted, as I was looking through my things to not forget something.

"You have a mission?" Mom asked me as she arrived at my door.

"Yeah, Bolt and I got one together, just the both of us!" I stated with a blush.

"Lucky for you I would say, which rank?" Mom asked.

"…. I think it was C-rank, to be honest I have no idea the Hokage said that all informations are given to us in a letter, which Bolt has.

We shall open it only at the location of our first camp, since we have to hurry, so it might as well be a B-rank mission, but I think it might be not so bad, or else he would have given us a Jonin on our side.

So the fact that we two are alone, must mean that we can handle things on our own.

Still the Hokage gave Bolt a toad and me a piece of a Slug called Lady Katsuyu, as messenger and partner.

Seriously the Hokage is awesome, he let this toad appearing out of nowhere, I wish I could use Kuchiyose by now!" I stated in thought.

"I can show you when you are back!" Mom suggested.

"Sure, as long as it is no slug or snake!" I stated.

"Why not?" Mom asked confused.

"Mom you know how I stand to slugs, basically I cannot really stand them, they are wiggly, slimy and the terror of everyone´s hair.

And a Snake makes me seem as shady as dad is, and the last thing I need, is to get an even worse reputation in the village, I don´t like to be compared to Dad anyways.

Also are snakes the natural enemies of Toads, so Bolt would perhaps avoid me, if I have a Snake on my side…., geez is there nothing else I can get, how about such a Ninja-Monkey like Konohamaru-sensei?" I asked.

"That won´t be possible, as much as I know, they only make contracts with the Sarutobi Clan!" Mom stated as she thought about it.

"Geez, hmmm, maybe I will ask Nekobaa if she knows a strong cat with which I can make a contract!" I mumbled at the thought of Ninja Cats, Bolt seemed to like Cats anyways.

"Or a Fox, I bet Bolt would love it….., and maybe me too!" I stated, whispering the last part to myself.

"I bet, whatever you take, Bolt will not stop liking you, anyways you better get prepared will you, if you need anything I am in the Kitchen!" Mom stated as she was about to go.

"Sure thing, thanks for sharing your wisdom Mom!" I stated.

"Always again sweetie…, by the way where is Lady Katsuyu anyways?" Mom asked as she stopped to look around.

"uhmm, well!" I stated, sweating buckets full, all of a sudden.

"Sarada, what did you do to her?" Mom asked me with a menacing glance.

"Young Lady Sarada, why did you do that, you know I am not so fast?!" As if on call the tiny slug appeared in the Kitchen, coming through the open window.

"Wait a second you abandoned her?" Mom asked furious.

"Well she insisted to sit on my shoulder but I had no newspaper at hand to sit her on it!" I stated fidgeting.

"Badonk!" And a solid punch hit my head.

"Owwww, why did you do that?" I whined.

"That's what you get for abandoning a friend, I am most sorry Lady Katsuyu… unfortunately, she had some bad memories in the past with a jar of normal slugs, back in the Kindergarten….., it was a very nasty affair, ever since she has a slug-phobia, still i´m very sorry!" Mom apologized to the tiny slug…, seriously was this thing really that important to her?

"Oh it´s nothing, it´s just that it gets hard to move through the town, with all these people around, also is the sun quite hot today!" The Slug stated.

"Kami, are you serious Mom, you are talking with a slug about the weather?" I thought to myself, as I shook my head to this scene.

"Anyways, take this bag with you Sarada, this way you can transport her without having to touch her, but this way she also not have to creep all the way down to wherever you have to go.

She´s a queen and a good friend, so a little of comfort must be in it!" Mom stated.

"Sure thing mom!" I stated, as I took the old handbag of mom.

"Seriously, why did it have to be a slug, this way I even would prefer a snake right now.

If only I would have a cat as Kuchiyose-partner!" I thought.

"Anyways, as atonement for abandoning Lady Katsuyu, you will get Katsuo for me, right now, he shall recall Himawari; he didn't picked up his phone, even though she called 5 times, guess they got another fight going on.

Seriously these kids today!" Mom stated shaking her head in disbelieve, as she disappeared in the kitchen.

"Sure, I will go!" I said sulking, gulping a nasty remark down, as I went out of the kitchen to get to Katsuo´s room.

We, different as Bolt and his Sister, had two completely separated rooms.

"Knock, Knock!" I knocked on the door.

"Yeah, come in!" I heard my Brother stated.

"Hey Katsuo, Mom says you shall recall Himawari, you did not picked up the phone!" I stated.

"I know I didn´t!" Katsuo only said while reading in a newspaper, minding my presence not a bit.

"Did you have another fight?" I asked sitting next to him.

"That's none of your business!" He only said it, still not looking at me.

"Geez, why don´t you simply confess to her?" I asked with an annoyed tone.

"Funny thing here, sis, I don´t think I asked you to butting in my love life, did I?

Also, you really should hear yourself talking, shouldn´t you go after Bolt then, since a year you always keep whining that he don´t confesses to you again.

So why don´t you make it easy to the poor boy and simply confess to him, you know he loved you, and a lost evening is not gonna change his mind, at least in my opinion!" My Brother stated.

"Maybe however he never confessed to me again, as you rightly said, so I am not sure if he really still likes me that way, or at least that much, anyways what happened between you and Himawari-chan?!" I dug after the matter at hand.

"Geez seriously….., you know, as much as I know, Bolt still thinks that you might not like him for his weakness, whatever he means with that!

Anyways, I tried to talk it out of him, telling him that he´s far away from being weak, but he won't listen to my words, so I got bored and simply stopped trying, and that made Hima-chan mad, she kept telling me, that I should keep on talking to him about that.

But isn´t it rather her duty to do that, I mean she is his sister after all, and she do knows Bolt way better than I do.

All I can tell him is to go for it, if he listens to me or not is entirely his decision!" Katsuo stated, as he sighed and laid the magazine away facing me finally.

"I mean, you know you love him, and he knows he is loving you, so why the hell cant either one of you simply make the first move?" He asked.

"Its…, not so easy, I mean, last year…, we barely were able to defend or rescue each other…., I came to the conclusion that I have to train and learn much more, in order to get strong enough to defend Bolt!" I stated.

"I see, well Bolt is of the same opinion vise-versa….., geez, love sure sucks, am I right,…., I mean I like Himawari…, a lot, very much to be honest.

But it does not seems that she ever likes me equally, I often find myself in the role of the best friend but nothing more, am I really doomed to be friendzoned by her, forever?" Katsuo asked himself in horror.

"Well I got to admit, she is pretty hard to read, there you are right, but I don´t think you are simply a friend to her, I bet there is something more, you just got to find it out somehow.

Anyways I got to go, I have a mission today, anyways make sure you and Himawari have made up by the time i´m coming back!" I stated, as I went out of the room.

"Depends on her, I am willing to stop fighting!" Katsuo stated.

"Geez…... siblings…..!"" I stated annoyed.

"Crap I got to go, i´m gonna be late, dammit!" I stated as I looked at the clock, I got only 10 minutes to pack everything and to make my way.

"Got to Hurry!" I stated.

20 Minutes later at the Main gate:

"You are late Sarada!" Bolt scolded me as I finally arrived at the gate.

"Sorry, I got some family problems to solve!" I stated.

"What happened, did your mother finally threw Sasuke-kun out?" Bolt asked excited.

"No, still not!" I replied.

"So what's the matter than?" He asked sulking a bit, being less excited about the matter.

"Katsuo and Himawari had a fight!" I only stated.

"Did he make her cry?" Bolt asked with a dangerous air, cracking his knuckles.

"More vise-versa, she accused him something, some private matter and now they both seem to be sulking!" I explained.

"I see, well they both are thickheads, they will eventually make up by the time we are back, anyways we got to hurry, or else we will be late at the location, Dad is going to rip our heads off, if we going to fuck this job up!" Bolt started and I nodded.

"Imaginable indeed!" I said.

"So you got everything?" He asked.

"For now yes, so let´s go!" I stated and so we rushed out of the Gate.

"Yeah, our first mission alone, only the two of us, are you excited?" Bolt asked me, as we began to jump over the Branches in the trees.

"Sure thing, I just hope we have it easy, it´s bad enough that not at least Senpou is here, but we are even without Konoha-sensei on this mission.

If we get ambushed we got to give it our everything, we cannot afford to take any risks or to make any mistakes!" I explained.

"No fear, my mind is ready to take upon every enemy!" Bolt stated.

"And what if they have guns!?" I asked.

"My shield jutsu is since a while as strong as dads, there is nothing coming through for an entire half hour!" Bolt explained.

"In this time limit, we got to find a solution, but luckily my Hiraishin is also better than before, I can now take up to 6 people with me.

I learned much and trained hard to become stronger than ever before, on that something like last year won´t ever happen again!" he continued and I immediately had to think about what Katsuo said, about Bolt loving me but being too uncertain of his own strength to protect me.

"A half hour you say, well it´s plenty of time for you to find a solution, right, after all you are a super-brain and an Uzumaki, you won´t go down so easily, right?" I asked with a smile trying to cheer him up.

"Of course I will never go down, as long as I have breath and life in me to defend you, nothing will ever stop me from doing that!" Bolt bragged, still he would never claim something unreal which later gets us in trouble.

"Well then on we go, let´s hurry, we gonna make it in three or at least three and a half day!" He shouted, as he accelerated.

"Bolt, wait up!" I shouted at him, as I too accelerated.

And so our first mission, with only the two of us, began.

We should not be prepared of what we encounter though.

It started two hour later, as suddenly bolt slowed down, we were a good 80 miles away from Konohagakure.

"Bolt what´s the matter, are you getting tired already?" I asked him mockingly.

"We are tailed since a while, I thought it might be other teams, but they are coming straight after us!" He only said.

I saw that he was in Sennin-mode, which he learned 4 years ago from his father.

"How many?" I asked.

"Around 20 peoples, hold on tight I will accelerate!" Bolt stated, as he suddenly took me bridal style, I blushed as I felt his hand on my butt and the other hand on my back.

Still I had way better things to do, than to be embarrassed right now.

"Got it, let´s go!" I stated and so he was engulfed in Kyuubi-chakra before he rushed forward, so fast that my eyes, even though I wore glasses, weep due to the strong wind.

"They are hot on our heels!" I said, as I looked back to see some dark sinister silhouettes, it was incredible that they could keep up with that speed, seems like it were not the ordinary bandits.

"Dammit there are more ahead they try to corner us, guess the guard was right, there are many sinister peoples out here!" Bolt stated after a while.

"I will jump over them, hold on very tight and don't let go no matter what!" Bolt stated.

"Alright, i´m ready!" I stated.

"Here we go!" He shouted, as he jumped far over the heads of some evil looking guys.

"Goodbye suckers!" We said.

"Hahaha, that was kind of easy!" I laughed, before I suddenly heard a strange noise.

"zzzzzshsssshhh!"

"Huh, oh goddammit!" I shouted, as I saw five Kibakufuda hanging right in my backpack, the countdown for their detonation had already begun.

"Fuck!" I shouted, as I cut the backpack of my back.

Unfortunately it was not possible for me to reach behind and get the bombs, since it was a rather large Backpack with a tent inside and other camping utensils next to my Ninja tools.

Luckily were all my personal belonging in my Flack-jacket and my belt pockets.

"Buuuuuummmm!" The detonation was massive, if this would have hit us, we would have gotten ourselves some severe injuries.

"We are through, they are far behind.

Are you okay Sarada!?" Bolt asked me after another while, as we hid behind a large tree, he sat me down on the ground.

"I am, but my Backpack is only pieces anymore….., wait, fuck, Lady Katsuyu, she was in my Backpack!" I stated in horror.

"Ummm, Sarada, don't freak out but…, lady Katsuyu actually sits on your neck!" Bolt stated, as he pointed at a spot.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Yes she seems to have much fear!" Bolt stated, as he looked at her, I was unable to see her thought.

"Lady Katsuyu are you alright?" I asked.

"I am, I was just a bit afraid, but I am alright, no fear!" She said.

"I see…., geez guess there is no helping then, Bolt can you get her on my shoulder!" I asked Bolt.

"Sure but are you alright with it?" He asked me confused.

"Hurry up before I decide otherwise!" I stated annoyed.

"Oh okay!" He replied, before he took lady Katsuyu of my neck and put her on my shoulder.

"I am most thankful Sarada-sama, I swear I will try my best to be as inconspicuous as possible, you will not even notice my presence!" Lady Katsuyu stated.

"T-thanks, but…, you know…., I really have nothing against you personally…, I just don´t stand slugs in general!" I stated blushing.

"I know, not many girls like slugs, I was glad to find at least three women in my life who did, Tsunade-sama, Shizune-sama and Sakura-sama!" She stated, a little I do was sorry for her.

"Anyways we came a bit of course, but our camp is in 500 miles away from here, if we hurry, we might get there before nightfall, we make a little pause at the river in the next 20 miles!" Bolt stated, as he pulled out the GPS-map, a newly invented ultra-practical ninja tool, to locate the exact position of a person within a land.

Thanks to many GPS-Radar-Stations, which were built in the various Villages throughout the land, our exact position is always reported towards the Headquarter in Konohagakure, so if anything happens the people down there know exactly where to find us.

"Alright, shall we?" Bolt stated.

"Yeah sure, but about my camp tools?" I asked worried.

"No fear I have enough things with me, but unfortunately don´t I have a second tent and a second sleeping bag, it would have been too much to take with, so we will have to share one, if that´s okay with you?" Bolt asked.

"Sure thing…, its only for one night after all!" I stated blushing at the mere thought, of sharing a sleeping bag with Bolt.

"Well then, after that is cleared, we should continue our travel, are you still alright up there Gamatech?" Bolt asked the small Toad.

"I´m still alive and kicking, that's all I can ask for!" The same stated, as he caught a fly with his large tongue.

"Alright, here we go!" Bolt stated and so we began to run again.

"Oh by the way, Sarada…., you have a tasty and well shaped butt, really nice!" Bolt stated with that smug grin.

"Waaaaaaahhhh…., BORUTO!" I shouted in embarrassment, as I chased after him, while he grinned with a perverted smug grin.

"Even if I die right now, I REGERET NOTHING, Hahaha!" Bolt only shouted, as he ran away from me.

And so we ran into the day, oblivious of the hardships to come.
