Battle of the primordial Forces

Chapter 12: The Attack of Nature (part 2), of Friendship and lights, who guide.

Part I/ the unsuspectingness of Stargazers and Art-fans, of first times and first drinks together.

An hour before the midnight ambush, Chouchou´s Pov:

We, Shikadai and I, were sitting on the roof of his home, heavily kissing and groping in heat, I was horny and so was he.

"Oh Chouchou!" Shikadai groaned in pleasure as my hands stroke him through the fabric of his pants.

"Are you feeling good, my Shogi-Bear!" I asked him seductively, with a sinister horny grin.

"Yeeess!" He moaned.

It was quite fascinating to watch his face contorting in pleasure, completely unexpected if you see day in day out his What-a-drag and none-of-my-business expression.

"Are my hands that good?" I whispered, with a laugh, in his ears.

"Oh hell yess!" Shikadai stated, his hard-on was growing.

The stars were rather quickly forgotten, ever since we vanished an hour ago, as all 6 of us separated, in their respective couples, to spent some times alone as lovers, a suggestion from Sarada.

I hope she takes the initiative and makes something out of this time, I know I will.

"Huhuhu, you are drooling Shikadai!" I snickered.

Here in the shadow-room, no one was able to see us, but through my Raiton I created miniature Lightning spheres, who floated at the ceiling like stars, illuminating the room.

"I love your curves, each and every pound of you, Chouchou, and I love you so much!" Shikadai stated, his eyes and words were honest, same as his body.

"I know you do and I love you too!" I stated, as I kissed him.

I was lying upon him, luckily I lost a lot of pounds during the mission 5 months ago, I had to go all out to defend the others, and used the secret pills of the Akimichi clans with the Nara-clans medical Calorie-bomb antidote-pill.

This way I was neutralizing the poison in my body, after taking in all three pills, and to build up a little fat, just enough to not die on emaciation.

Still, a few weeks later, as I was back over the dam, Shikadai complimented me on my new figure, so I tried my best to hold it at this point, even Mom said I would look nice, same as the rest of my friends.

Still it seems that I slowly gain weight again, it was a devil´s circle, I want to hold diet but when I start I am constantly hungry, I wish I had Sarada´s perfect body, no matter what she eats, she just don´t get fat.

That made me kinda mad.

At least my weight is less enough to not burry Shikadai under me and to still have him drooling over my curves.

To be honest I was first, as I really got to know him, suspicious of why he was attracted to a fatty like me, but he never really seemed to mind the other girls around us one bit, beside of Senpou, Himawari, Shana and Sarada but also only because they are our friends.

Though Shana is more Himawari´s friend but still.

So seeing him getting a hard on while scanning my body so hungrily, like a wolf his prey, gave me the chills and made me glad to not have been so stupid and ending my life, like I intended 8 years ago.

Ever since that day I experienced so much, love friendship, Battles and the love of a family, I met the Hokage personally, not only for missions but also often when we hung out at Bolt´s house.

He is really cool, same as my Dad, even though I had a hard time to finally get that fact.

I always thought to have to be ashamed of how my Father behaved and how his eating habits caused mine as well.

But ever since I saw how he looks, when he is really emaciated, I never lost a word about his figure ever again.

I loved him way more round and happy than slim and weakly.

He might looks good when he´s slimmer, but that he only manages that, when he goes to such lengths, I would have never believed.

It was something I never wanted him to do ever again, even if he only did it to make a mission succefull.

He seemed suddenly so weak on his feet and he, different as when he was himself, couldn't even pick me up anymore that time, without almost breaking like a twig.

I never saw him this weak and it frightened me, ever since I simply told myself that my figure was a normal circumstance, rather than something to complain about.

Shikadai too was grateful, that I stopped complaining about my figure, he always kept saying that he loved me for who I am, not for how many pounds I have or not, and that he loves my curves, all of them.

And this he let me feel too right now.

"Hmmmmmhhhmmm!" I moaned, as he groped my breasts and French kissed me passionately, licking and caressing my entire body.

"Much appreciated!" I stated, as he pinched my nipples and played with them, before he sucked on them, making me shouting in pleasure.

"Chouchou!" Shikadai moaned after his lick and suck attack.

"Undress Shikadai!" I commanded and he obeyed without a groan.

He stripped down till his boxers.

"And now lay down and let me do the magic!" I stated as he laid down and I exposed his dick to me.

It was the first time that I saw him so bare, before we always only jerked and fingered each other off with our clothes mostly on, but I never got to see it, but tonight should be special.

Shikadai and I, we decided that tonight should be our first time.

"Oooooh Chouchou!" Shikadai moaned as I played with his dick, before pushing it between my large breasts.

"How do you like this honey, do you like it when I am so dirty, when I make you feeling good!" I asked, as I jerked him off.

"Yeeesss, it feels so good!" Shikadai stated, his face contorted in sheer pleasure and bittersweet pain, urging to release himself.

"Cum whenever you want!" I giggled, before I began to suck on him.

"Wooohoooow!" Shikadai screamed after a while, as he came right in my face.

"Hmm, I am always up to food but this tastes only a little bit bitter, you got to eat more sweets, Shogi-bear!" I giggled, as I cleaned him of while looking at him, which just turned him even more on.

"Now for the finishing of this most wonderful evening, the Highlight of tonight, let´s have sex, I will make you a man tonight, Shikadai and I am willingly giving you my virginity, so make sure to make me a woman too, with shining glory and flying colors!" I stated and I saw the eagerness in his eyes, his hard-on stood tall like the TV tower in the Uptown, in 90°.

"How do you like my Body!" I asked as I stripped down naked.

"I love it, it´s so perfect Honey!" Shikadai stated with a lustfull glance over to me.

I smiled and blushed, while striking a pose.

"You damn right, my curves are godly!" I stated with a laugh.

"I waited so long for this!" I moaned, as I sat down and was facing him, I placed my clit over his mast.

"Well then, Itadakimasu!" I stated, as I impaled myself with it, with one quick dive, taking it all, down to the base, deep within me.

"Woooooaaaaaaaahhh!" I shouted in pain and bittersweet pleasure, as his dick tore through my hymen.

My Back arched and my eyes teared up.

"Aaaaaaaaahh!" Shikadai shouted his tongue lolling out.

"It hurts, it hurts!" I whined in pain.

"I will take it out!" Shikadai stated.

"No, don´t dare to move a freaking millimeter, don´t you take me for weak, I got this, just give me a minute!" I shouted at him, embracing him strongly.

"You´re so troublesome, you should have do it gently!" Shikadai scolded me while caressing my head.

"Yes but I wanted to be connected to you as fast as possible, and I didn´t wanted you to endlessly discussing with me if we should do it or not.

I waited 8 fucking years for this, I won´t let you of the hook until you didn´t cum deep within me once and unless I am not satisfied you will not leave this room, understood!" I threaten him with a stern glare, as the pain flawed of.

"Your wish, my command!" He only gasped, as he held me close.

"Alright gently now Shikadai!" I stated, after a while of just lying above each other.

"Right, Gently!" He stated as he moved his hips gently up and down.

"Uuuuh, it feels so good!" I moaned.

"You can go a little faster!" I stated after a while.

"Your wish is my command!" Shikadai stated, as he accelerated his speed.

"Oooh oooh uuuuh, yes that´s it, that´s the right spot, it feels so great, so good, mmmmhhhmmm!" I shouted as Shikadai´s pace went wilder, the more time passed, our bodies long began to slap against each other, making dirty sounds.

"Oh yes, OOOOOOHHHHH SHIKADAI, YOU´RE A BEAST!" I shouted, as I came the first time in my life with a dick in my pussy.

I slayed my fist right next to him in the roof, as I came, my fluids wetting his stomach.

"Oh yes this was awesome Chouchou, but i´m still not...!"

"Say no more honey, we got this!" I stated.

"Okay now wait a second!" I Stated as I got off of him, turned around and went to the wall, bending over, showing myself to him bare as I was born, ready to let him taking me doggy style.

"Shikadai, come here my stallion!" I stated, wiggling and slapping my butt and he obeyed instantly.

"Dig it deep inside!" I commanded.

"Yes!" He only stated, before he impaled himself even deeper than before.

"Woooooaaaahhh!" I screamed in pleasure as his dick rapidly hilted inside of me, I could feel it deep inside, stretching me with every single millimeter.

"I can feel it, your dick´s kissing my womb!" I shouted in pleasure and lust.

"More, more!" I shouted, the pleasure was unbearable.

"Chouchou!" Shikadai stated as he turned me around, before lifting me up with help of his shadow, which groped me all over, like thousand hands at once.

"Uuuaaah, Chouchou, i´m close!" He shouted after a while of rapid-hilting.

"Not yet only a little more!" I shouted back.

"Aaaaaa!" My back arched, as the pleasure was too great, I almost couldn´t hold myself back anymore.

"Shikadai I´m Cumming!" I screamed im pleasure.

"Meee tooo!" Shikadai shouted.

"CHOUCHOU/ SHIKADAI!" We screamed, holding us close as we both came at the same time, I could feel all of his hot semen in my womb.

I didn´t even really cared if I might got pregnant right away, although I rather doubt it.

It just felt so good.

"Oh god that was intense, but so good!" I gasped for air, as I embraced my honey tightly.

"It was 100% worth it!" He stated kissing me passionately.

"Anyways, we better get dressed, or else we will be late!" Shikadai stated after we were hugging for a time.

"Way to go you mood-killer!" I stated with a sour expression.

"...Crap it´s almost midnight, I have to bring you down the road to your house or else your mother is going to kill me!" Shikadai stated, as he quickly dressed.

I cleaned myself off before putting back my clothes on.

"Alright let´s go!" Shikadai stated, as he suddenly bend down.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I´ gonna get you a ride, guess you might walk funny for a few hours, so c´mon!" He stated and I admit, the feeling of his dick in me was still there.

"Here take this!" He stated as he gave me his Jacket, I didn´t even really recognized it earlier, but it truly went colder, to be honest far colder than usual.

"That´s strange!" I muttered but brushed it off.

I lifted the skirt of my dress and sat down on his back.

"Alright hold on tight!" He stated, as he ran forward.

"Wooohooo, this is awesome!" I shouted, as we rushed over the roof tops.

Still the feeling of his back on my panties, made me horny again.

The ride was unfortunately over far too early for my taste.

"There we are..., hmm seems like everyone is busy!" I said as I saw lights and heard people running around.

The door opened and out came mom.

"Oh thank god I just wanted to go search for you, Chouchou and Shikadai, you two got to dress for a mission, we are in a crisis right now, someone..., or better said something is attacking the town, the people are falling clockwise in coma.

The Genins are going to be ordered soon, to gather the coma patients from the streets and bring them to the lazarette at the market place, your mother gave me your things for you, Shikadai, she had to go to the Lazarette to help them out!" Mom stated hectically.

"Well seems like the fun is over we better get inside and in gear!" I stated as I ran towards the house.

"Sniff..., wooohohoho, hold on a second..., what this funny smell..., you reek after cum missy..., don´t tell me you guys did..., oh well never mind we got more important things to do right now, but believe me, we three going to have a long talk after all this!" Mom stated with narrowed eyes.

Her eyes blazed with both, concern and furry.

"Yes Mom/Madame!" We both saluted.

"Geeez you two, anyways get inside and dressed and in two separate rooms, we have no time for any funny games tonight anymore, got it!" Mom stated.

"Hi!" We shouted before we ran into the house.

"Whatever comes later Shikadai, I regret nothing!" I stated.

"So do I, anyways I see you soon, I hope the others are okay!" He replied.

"Yeah I hope they are!" I stated before I kissed him quickly and dived into my room to dress.

Meanwhile with Senpou and Inojin, Senpou´s pov:

A Half hour before the midnight ambush:

The Art-exhibition of Inojin´s father was a great success same as my Parent´s Martial arts exhibition, luckily we, Inojin and I, against our expectation didn´t had to work.

"It was a nice evening for sure, right Senpou!" Inojin asked me.

"It was indeed nice, I must say I really amused myself, in contrast to last year!" I replied remembering the whole work I had, I shivered at the memory.

"Yeah I know exactly what you mean, all these smiling faces and you are so busy with your customers that the festival is quicker over than you think and in the end you hadn´t any time to get yourself in party mood at all!" Inojin whined.

"Anyways it was nice to hear Bolt and Sarada singing again and this time so passionate!" I stated.

"Indeed, they are a perfect match, even in a duet, still, your song was nice too!" Inojin stated.

"It was only Go by Flow, there is nothing special on that song..., not like Bolt and Sarada´s duet (Pearl in a world of dirt / beyond the Black), your song Toumei Datta Sekai by Motohiro Hata was far more awesome, so full of soul!" I stated.

"Maybe but for Bolt and Sarada to sing in a whole different language, as best as they can, this sure was awesome.

There are not much who are able to play songs of the outland, here on our continent, so for our friends to do this, is really awesome, only know one song alone, and only the most minimal amount of the text!" Inojin explained.

"Yeah I have to admit though, that I am a little jealous, still I would not have the nerve to even take an effort, to learn a whole new Language!" I stated sweat-dropping.

"Me neither, well both simply are Awesome, they are both a perfect team, you saw that in their battle, one has always shielded the other one.

Not like in our last match, we even got separated in the very first second, not that we haven't fought well as well but still, if it could have been a serious life or death situation, we would have maybe died.

Shikadai and Bolt, both would have found a solution in last second that's for sure, and if it comes hard on hard, Sarada is there to heal an attack and her attacks almost always hit with incredible accuracy!" Inojin stated.

"I know what you mean, still you forget they both got Dōjutsu which complete each other, the power to see through every shield with Bolt´s Byakugan and the power to see through every attack with Sarada´s Sharingan.

I bet If we got at least one of them we would be just as strong as them!" I stated.

"Yeah, still we should be proud of what we have, we have brought it so far through our own efforts, this is more than we have expected right, neither of us is so well in massive attacks, all I can do is paint attacking animals and use my mind Jutsus.

I´m not like Bolt or Shikadai who can form strategies in seconds or attack with massive attacks like Bolt´s various Rasengan and Kagamibushin, or Sarada's, Raiton- as well as her Katon-jutsus.

The two of them are simply great and their jutsus are just Jonin level, this is a fact we have to suck up.

Our forces might barely reach for a Chunin right now, but i´m sure if we train hard, we soon will be as strong as them, with only the little amount of Jutsus we can use!" Inojin stated.

"Yeah, still your forces of Painting- and Mind-jutsus as well as my Taijutsu and Weapon summon are more made for the Support, Defender, Espionage and Infiltration works.

Bolt and Sarada´s Jutsus are more meant to attack with brutal earthshaking forces, so they are likely more the Attacker and Barricade Breaker, as well as the Medic and Intelligence Support!" I replied.

Both we were relating our impressions of our friends to the card-game Ultimate Ninja Trading Card Game, which features many famous ninjas and most of them can be separated into 6 Categories: Attacker, Medic, Barricade Breaker, Intelligence support, Messenger, Spy and Sensor as well as the unofficial 7th category First Class Shinobi.

To the latter most of the Kages, Sages and Jinnchurikis are counting.

Still we had no idea of how handy these informations later would become.

Right now we only strolled back home, talking all of our jealousy off our hearts.

"I swear, i´m glad Sarada does not hears us, she truly made Himawari almost a head shorter, as she badmouthed about Bolt!" I stated.

"Well she loves him very much, I mean it´s only logical that you are willing to also defend your girl- or boyfriend against verbal assault, am I right?" Inojin asked.

"Geez yeah, you are probably right, it's also not nice to speak badly about them, only due to jealousy, when they clearly work hard for their powers.

Guess you are right we simply have to train more, in order to get stronger.

But it´s just frustrating, no matter how much we train the two are always a few steps ahead of us, right.

Still I´m optimistic, someday might come the day when our forces are equal to theirs!" I stated.

"Definitely, anyways, I guess we should soon go home, but before we go, you want to drink something, or eat something!?" I asked.

"Hmmm, how about some Cotton candy, Ice cream and Crushed-Ice Soda, it´s on me!?" Inojin asked.

"Sounds good!" I replied, leaning on him giving him a kiss on the cheek, before we quickly strolled towards the Shops in the street, which were selling the wanted goods.

Unfortunately we seemed to be too late, since we from everything only got each one thing, means the ingredients of the shops only reached for one drink, one Cotton Candy and one Ice-cream.

"Geez sorry about that!" Inojin stated.

"No need to apologize, it´s not your fault, we simply can share!" I stated, as I took two straws and put them in the drink.

"See, problem solved!" I stated.

"Well I guess you are right!" Inojin stated blushing.

And so we drank from one drink, ate from one ice-cream cone and munched on the same cotton candy until we met with our lips letting both, Ice-cream and Cotton candy melting with our kiss.

"That was the most intense way to eat ice-cream and Cotton Candy, than I ever did before!" I stated with a blush and a chuckle.

"Indeed!" Inojin stated as we strolled through the empty streets.

Suddenly he whistled a tune I hadn´t heard before.

"What song is that?" I asked.

"I told you I can only a little of foreign language, well this song is the only one I ever learned by heart!" Inojin stated.

"Can you sing it to me?" I asked.

"Sure thing!" He replied.

(Song: Omi/ Cheerleader)

When I need motivation

My one solution is my queen

'cause she' stay strong yeah yeah

she is always in my corner

right there when I want her

all these other girls are tempting

but I'm empty when you're gone

And I'm like no, not really 'cause

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader

oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader

She walks like a model

And I got the magic wand

all these other girls are tempting

but I'm empty when you're gone

and they say

Do I make you feel like Cheating.

and I'm like no, not really cause'

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader

mama loves you too, she thinks I made the right selection

now all that's left to do

is just for me to pop the question

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her

"It´s really a beautiful song and I thin k I little I have understood, whoever sang this song is speaking about his love, that she´s always there for him, am I right?" I asked him.

"Indeed and you are definitely my Cheerleader, without you I am unable to do anything!" Inojin stated while he held me close.

"Oooh Inojin, you´re so cute!" I stated as I dived in his embrace, while we slowly walked home together.

Still, somehow this atmosphere around us was a little uncanny, it was strange, that the music had stopped and it also was quite cold.

"It´s so silent as if the whole town was a ghost-town.!" I stated holding Inojin´s arm a little tighter.

"You sure are right, it´s so cold, colder than usual around this time of the year!" Inojin replied looking around.

"Hmm, oh crap, time´s almost over, I got to bring you home!" He said after he looked at his watch.

"Hmm well then we better rush!" I stated.

"Sure thing, or else your mother is going to rip my head off!" He replied while paling.

"Inojin, Senpou!" We heard it coming from above as suddenly Dad and Mom appeared.

"Mr. and Mrs. Rock, I swear I wanted to bring her home right now!" Inojin sweat dropped.

"Irrelevant we got greater problems, you two got to get home and dress, you guys have a mission, meet up with the other Genins at the Market Place and follow the instructions, hurry!" they stated before they vanished.

"Well that was awkward!" I stated.

I looked at Inojin and he at me.

"Alright let´s hurry!" He stated and together we rushed back to our homes.

"See you soon honey!" Inojin stated, as he kissed me goodbye at my porch.

"Yeah in a few minutes, stay save sweetheart!" I stated as I had to let go of his hands, he rushed to the gate before looking back smiling, waving and then running off.

"Sigh well then let´s get in gear!" I stated as I entered my house.

Preparing for something, something bad for sure, we had no idea of how close we were to a catastrophe.

Part 2/ Bonus story in-between: Sarin's Adventure n°1: The demon in the Forest of Death.

(Part 4.1) The Forest of real death, of Demons and lost souls.

A Half hour before the midnight ambush, Rughian´s pov:

I could not believe it, I Rughian, Eterna Rugh-On of Neherit, was falling to such a simple trap.

I was flying over the forest to see any glimpse of that tree to be able to better describe it to the Hokage, and then I was attacked by large wines trying to pierce through me, before I flew right into a net made of them, and ever since I am sitting in this damn Cage made of wood, which slowly sucks out my forces.

And that since freaking 3 hours, Neherit surely will be mad at me, but worse, I cannot warn anyone this way.

Beside of my mass in my giant form and my human form using Katanas, was I not able to use any jutsus or attack, after all I am only a crow, a normal crow, unlike Neherit who is an Edema Ruh.

Also are my Katanas with Neherit, sealed in his scroll, and the damn Cage I sucking out my forces, I cannot even connect my mind with Neherits.

Konoha is in deep shit at this rate.

"If only I could find a way to get out of here, Aaaargggh, this damn Gallow tree, it´s like the fucking Shinju Neherit talked about!" I thought, beside of the things Neherit taught me, I knew close to nothing about the world before I was born.

Still, as I said before, I was that time only a normal crow, living to find food, build a net, find a female crow, start a family and die peacefully, that I would ever end up as an Eterna Rugh-On, I never had imagined that time.

But I knew a few facts, for example, that the shinju, which was growing like after a chemical reaction of Blood, rotten Jinkensha-flesh, Jinenryoku (Natural force) and Akumaryoku (Demonic force) and the lament of milliards of Souls, was a being, so dark that no one should have ever touched it.

Also because, no matter how often the Jinkensha clan tried to cut it down, it always grew from anew, so often that in the end the Jinkensha Clan decided, to simply guarding the tree, on that no one ever dares to come near it and get killed, or worse, obtain this entire dark force which was gathering together within the fruit, a collective of all the power the tree had already and still gathered from its surrounding.

In a way the tree was good, it sucked the miasma out of the air, however is also sucked out the souls and Life force of beings which were to a 100 miles near it, no wonder that most of Gensan no kuni was already before parched and withered, before the various rewinds.

Alone the principle of the Eterna Rugh-On, like me, managed to help these Guardians to survive their task.

The way the Shinju gathered life-force and the Chakra back, was similar like this damn tree is collecting life-force and souls right now, only that this tree does not uses his roots to connect living people with it and form the white Zetsu out of them.

But this tree was different.

Like the air gets cleansed in a normal forest through the Leaves and their photosynthesis, this tree uses its roots to connect to a forest, infests it like a parasite and lets the entire surrounding of the forest being sucked dry of life force by it, through the leaves

Afterwards then, this being creates some flying creature, made out of wood and a parasite in a living being, preferably a bird, to travel to the next town with a large forest around, doing it all again.

One could say that this tree stands in connection to the old Shinju, for the circumstance that this being has appeared only right now here, after the Five Nations finally agreed to fully activate Project S.I.I.O.N.T. and the War-protocol this month, is way to suspicious, as if it wants to weaken the Land of Fire right from the start.

We, Neherit, Nagato, Lady Mito and I, were able to repel most of the minor demons from the five nations since the last months.

Like Windfangs, possessed tigers and Wildcats, Neverfulls, Giant abominations created out of excessively fat humans, getting possessed by a demon of gluttony, which turns its large stomach into several mouths, making it cannibalistic.

Most demons we were able to slay were appearing on graveyards or former battlefield, the miasma there is wrapping around dark souls and this Dark combination searches refugee in a living organism, which it then, like a parasite, adapts to its will, creating out of something normal, something deeply malevolent.

But this damn tree here, I ask myself how it was possible for us to not have been able to already locate it since a long time.

Through the incubation time, which it needed to infest the forest around us, it was plain to see that there were a lot of souls already gathered by it, so it must be either extremely old and just reawaken, or being artificially created, maybe even artificially fed, rather than through its own will.

As if it has been made strong enough for something..., or someone, but of course..., this Bitch of a tree is after the Hokage and its son as well as the Kazekage, all three of them are Jinnchuriki, one has even been made as one again by Neherit.

The tree has been made strong enough to suck their soul and Bijuu-chakra out without them knowing and if I am right, someone is behind this.

Someone, who later tries to gather the entire force, same as Kaguya did with the Shinju.

And I won´t believe that this damn tree only has been grown in 12 hours so large and infested the entire forest, if I am right, then this thing has been growing here, at least ever since a half month and gathered the force of each and every human which has been here, since all this time.

In this time of the year are many people coming to Konoha from abroad, and mostly for the Chunin exams

"If only I could tell Neherit this, but I am stuck in this damn cage!" I thought weakly.

Still I could be glad, right now it´s only using me as a nutrition, but if it decides to make me to a piece of him, this tree could begin to infect me like a parasite through a tiny seed with a infested soul, pierced into my body, which then grows inside of me and slowly takes me over.

"So in a way I am still lucky, even though I am not sure to hold out much longer!" I stated weakly smiling.

"Guess I should already train a good excuse, if Neherit comes I will need it the most!" I chuckled

I felt how my forces slowly left me.

"Guess it comes to an end, still I guess three hours are a record, for being very close to the source of all this evil!" I mumbled, as my eyes went heavy and my heartbeat grew down.

I was sure I would be no longer conscious in a second.

"I wish I had the chance to find a nice girl with which I could live, before I die!" I mumbled, as I drifted away.

"Rughian!" I thought to hear my name being called, but I only heard it faintly.

Meanwhile with Neherit and Sarin, Sarin´s Pov:

To say it was a walk in the park, was definitely an understatement, we were ambushed by strange wooden abominations everywhere, the entire forest was out to kill us.

"That damn tree, its killing all live and makes it to its own, and even creates these wooden beasts!" Neherit stated, as he slashed through another Wood-Deer of death, as I call them, seems like the tree also attacked the Nara forest.

"This horror seems to have no end.

I think the best would be, to simply burn the whole damn thing down, the way as we originally had planned!" I stated.

"I told you we will do that, but first we got to find Rughian, he hasn´t been in town and he is no one to come too late for anything..., as long as he is not stopped by something, and it´s likely that the forest must have attacked him for the piece of my soul in him.

I cannot let him die, I swore to myself to never let a friend die again, I already lost too many!" Neherit stated enraged.

"Was this Chikami one of them!" I asked.

"How do you know about her?" Neherit asked me shocked, his eyes ripped open in pure terror.

"You mumbled that name after you screamed at Sakura-san, back in town, sorry I should not have asked!" I stated.

"Indeed, my Past is none of your Business, keep that in mind and we may become good partners in this war!" Neherit hissed with an extreme hostility all of a sudden, his eyes blazed with furry but also with something like deep-sitting pain.

I was once again reminded that I knew nothing about Neherit, in a way he was right, we all may have no idea what a war, like he has experienced, truly means, if this is still torturing him, even after 600 years.

Neherit is and stays a mystery and it´s definitely not willing to solve itself, nor do it want to be solved.

But if I shall trust him, which I truly want to do, I need more background info about him, I need to at least try to understand his psyche.

Still, right now, there were bigger problems awaiting us.

"It getting hard to breath!" I stated after a while of beating our way through the forest, I used many Kenjutsu tricks which I learned from my father, to defeat my enemies.

"That's only logical, the Miasma is getting thicker the closer we come to the source!" Neherit stated.

"Still we should not stay much longer in this forest, especially not you, you might be an Uzumaki with exceptional chakra and stamina, but still.

The weaker you get the easier it is for the forest to make you his own as you have seen!" Neherit explained while slaying a giant wood-boar.

"Ahrrrrooooooohoooooo!" we suddenly heard.

"Shit that sounds like a Wolfpack!" I shouted.

"Well let me guess, it is one and it´s definitely not here to play with us!" Neherit stated as we saw shadowy silhouettes creeping through the forest.

The red shine of the moon made things even scarier.

"We better get out of here!" Neherit stated.

"Sure thing..., woooahah wait, what are you doing?" I shouted, blushing and sweat-dropping, as he suddenly took me piggy back.

"Don´t ask questions and hold on tight, we´re rushing!" Neherit simply replied, before he ran, with amazing speed, through the forest.

"They don´t let us off the hook so easily, they are fast!" Neherit stated, almost with a smile.

"Does this really amuses you?!" I asked dumbfounded.

"Well it´s a change for once, usually beasts and demons are always fleeing from me, or they try to instantly kill me with long range attacks, it´s been a while since I simply have been pursued!" Neherit stated and I thought to see a flicker of a smile rushing over his face.

"He´s cute when he smiles!" I thought and blushed even more.

"Roooaaarr!" Suddenly a Wolf came from the side.

"Neherit!" I shouted.

"No fear I got this!" he stated before, he jumped and with a well targeted kick, slammed the wood-wolf right into a large trunk, where it shattered to splinters.

"Nice!" I smiled.

"Karasu-kumite (Raven-fight), basic Knowledge in our Clan!" Neherit only replied lamely.

"Yeah sorry for underestimating you!" I stated sweat-dropping.

"Hmmm, I think I can feel Rughian´s soul somewhere..., yeah we are coming closer to him, I can clearly feel it!" he stated and accelerated his speed.

"Hmm, what's this thing over there!?" I stated, as I spotted a giant cube made out of wood, it looked mighty out of place here.

"I can feel Rughian´s soul in there!" Neherit replied as he jumped over

"Rughian!" He yelled, but no answer was given.

"His life-force it´s very weak, we got to get him out of here!" He stated as he hectically drew his Katana.

"Arrrooooohoooo!" Suddenly we heard the Wolfpack again.

"Dammit they found us, alright Sarin take Rughian and get out of here, I will fight them alone!" Neherit stated.

"Are you crazy, they are too many, besides I have no idea how to get out of this place?!" I stated.

"Get him out of the cube the rest I will do!" He stated harshly.

"Geez alright!" I stated as I drew a Kunai, which I enforced with Katon-chakra.

Surprisingly the wood was easy to cut, in less than a minute I cut a gate into the cube.

"Here he is, Rughian can you hear me?" I asked.

"Sarin..., is that you?" Rughian answered with weak voice.

"Yeah it´s me, Neherit is here too, we came to get you out of here!" I stated.

"That would be much appreciated, i´m almost done for!" He stated as I heaved him out of the cage.

"Neherit what now?" I asked.

"Use this!" He simply stated and patted on mine and Rughian´s back.

"Huh..., wooaah wait, what´s going on?!" I stated dumbfounded, as I suddenly floated.

"Rughian, I give you a power up, get yourselves as far away from this forest as possible, I think I earlier saw a spot which is surprisingly pure, somewhere here is also the Uzumaki Mask storage shrine supposed to be, try to make it over there, let nothing stop you got it!" Neherit explained.

"Alright..., and Neherit, i´m sorry, I could not succeed in my mission!" Rughian apologized.

"No need to apologize, right now no one has died so far and we should keep it that way, but now we can finally burn this damn forest to the ground!" Neherit stated.

"I know, but it was my own debt, I was careless, I thought to investigate first a bit about the circumstance, to make my claim more credible to the Hokage.

However, I got spotted, chased and caught by these wood-things, I should have simply fly towards Konoha and give of the Message i´m sorry, it´s all my debt that it came so far!" Rughian stated miserable.

"We will discuss this later, now get out of here!" Neherit stated and pushed Rughian, who transformed to his crow form, upwards, while the same spread his wings and flew with me away.

"And now to you my lovely little dogs!" Neherit stated, it was the last that I heard of him, before we were out of reach.

"Where is this Shrine?" Rughian asked.

"South from here!" I stated.

"Alright hold on, I only got a little amount of chakra from Neherit, but I guess it will be enough for getting over there!" He replied before he accelerated his speed.

"Shall we really leave him alone?" I asked worried as I looked back to the forest.

"Neherit is strong and powerfull, he´s someone who can fight better when he hasn´t someone to shield.

If he´s alone in fiend territory he can go all out, without having to care about anything but holding the enemy in check!" Rughian stated.

"I see..., it seems to me that he does not trust many people!" I stated.

"It´s not that he does not trust in anyone, it´s only that he don´t want to be close to someone who he easily can lose again, he has lost too much in that last war, friends, family, fellow clan members, even the respect of his Clan members, ever since he has committed that ´Sin´ as they call it.

Before the war, he was said to become the leader of the Childs of Prophecy by his Grandmother, and after he survived the war, he suddenly had to train all day and night, to become strong enough for that role.

He might have read about many things and knows many things as well, but most new age things like discotheques, game-halls or festivals with gifts and so on, he never has experienced by himself.

I hoped for him to someday be able to experience all of them with someone he can trust, and perhaps even love!" Rughian explained.

"Neherit is not only my partner but also my best friend and the closest to a brother, which I never had!" He stated and a little I could now understand Neherit´s feelings for Rughian.

"How was he as a Child?" I asked him.

"Neherit does not like it when I speak about his past therefore I don´t do it, still, he was kinda..., well more cheerfully than today, cuter and happier, just like a normal child, despite being 500 years that time!" Rughian stated.

"That time he still knew what fun was and he had it every day he could, he laughed and sang, and simply played around, mostly after he met Chikami.

Before he only did that when he was alone with Chikara and me, but it all ended with the war.

You might not see it but the war left a massive traumata in Neherit, just like in most of us.

Neherit wants to prevent another war, that´s why he reaches for his goal with such harsh manners!" Rughian stated.

"He is a very goal-fixed person and massively complicated to understand, still he has a good heart.

However there is one thing he absolutely hates, when someone mocks his efforts or accuses him of things he has not done, also there is one rule to leanr by heart if you want to get well along with him, never question him about his past, then he can get berserk!" he stated.

"Yeah I think I know what you mean!" I stated, as I remembered his outburst on Sakura-san and on me as I asked him about Chikami.

"And you Rughian, what about you!" I asked.

"Me, well I was a normal crow, born 9 years before Neherit´s birth, I was one of the many crows breed by the Mezakan clan, in order to become Eterna Rugh-Ons for their clan-members.

To connect ones soul with an animals lets the user getting some traits of the animal as well as viseversa, like by Neherit he grew long black wings on his back, fully functional, also is his sight better than the one of most humans, and he has the special iris of us crows.

We can see Life-force and ghosts and through the veil of reality, that's why we are often called Soul-guides and mostly have our nests near Graveyards.

Someone we simply like to be in the company of Souls!" Rughian stated with a sinister smile.

"Anyways I might last a bit until we arrive so you should rest a bit!" Rughian stated.

"I will call out when we are close to the shrine alright!" he said.

"Sure thing, thanks Rughian!" I replied and so I closed my eyes and doze off rather quickly, guess the Life-force drain from earlier took now its toll.

I dreamt about my past, those memories I still have at least, ad I dreamt about Neherit, it was the first time, ever since I was born, that I was dreaming about a boy.

The shrine was on the opposite side of the Forest of death, behind the town, so the only way to not lead any attacker over the town, was to fly around it, but we had to fly high, to not attract the attention of the forest and getting attacked ourselves.

Also was Rughian still not over the dam himself, he barely was able to hold himself on a constant height but always had to correct it.

So the flight could last a little while, enough to tank new forces.

Part 4.2/ The lovegame continues, the meaning of the heart´s strenght.

At the Uzumaki Mask Storage Shrine, a half hour ago

Bolt´s Pov:

I was sitting in front of the porch of the shrine, watching the sky while caressing Sarada´s hair.

"Its truly a beautiful night sky, Shikadai was right that time, to be able to see this is really worth to celebrate!" Sarada stated.

She had been awake since some time now but kept on lying on my lap.

"Indeed but this Blood red moon is somehow really scary, and then Dads message, is it really okay when we stay here, I mean, shouldn't we go in town to help the other Genins?" I asked.

"Maybe, but it was an order from the Hokage to stay here and make sure that no one goes near the town, we are lucky that the shrine lies near the main gate and that your Byakugan can see for 5 miles!" Sarada explained.

"Yeah this way we can make sure no one comes in!" I replied.

"Anyways it sure is silent here!" Sarada stated.

"Yeah the others are sleeping, the last time I checked!"

"Hmm, well maybe we can continue where we left off, since we don´t know when our parents are coming..., kuhuhu, what do you think?" Sarada asked with a seductive smile, as she stood up and traced her finger over my chest.

Useless to say that I got a hard-on in less than 5 seconds flat, as a lot of dirty fantasies flooded my brain.

"Maybe we even can have sex tonight!" She kept on whispering in my ear before licking it.

"Yeah maybe, the shield has been already built, so no one´s going to interrupt us, all we have to do is too keep our voices low and no one will ever know!" I stated as I scanned her off through my Byakugan.

Having x-ray vision is awesome, it gives you the power for certain situations to get yourself the dirtiest fantasies, like using them in the Onsen to scan off the girl of your dreams.

I know I am a pervert, but I know I am not the only one who did that.

I know a certain girl did the same to scan off Inojin and later Katsuo.

"Still, we better do it behind the shrine, just in case, I will let some Bushins guarding the entrance!" I stated.

"Alright, I will be waiting for you okay, ah and Bolt?" Sarada stated, as she went past me but stopped.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Don´t you let me wait, okay!" Sarada stated seductively, having used her sage mode, with Cat-tail and Ears.

The Hard-on grew painfully.

"Never!" I stated, as I quickly used my finger-sign to create clones.

"Feehhhwweeew!" they all whistled at the sight.

"Sorry guys but she´s mine, you go to guard the surrounding, the shrine and the sky!" I stated to them.

"Well we will feel it afterwards anyways, alright, but call us if she needs a few men more!" My clones stated.

"Sure thing, I bet Sarada will never get enough Bolt!" I snickered.

"Well then, have a fun night and enjoy it!" They said with thumb ups.

"I will, Dattebasa!" I stated with a dirty grin, before turning around and walking away.

Unaware that we were watched, closely and without blinking, by curious eyes.

In the shrine, Himawari´s Pov:

It was incredible what I saw, I never thought to see Sarada in this way.

Her usually so serious expression has contorted into an expression of lust, pleasure and horniness.

She seemed to be jelly in my brother's hands.

The way she moaned and twitched by every touch, the way she arched her back, letting her large breasts standing even more out and the way her eyes never left Bolt, it all was so erotic.

I was none of the girls to be much interested in sexual things, but I got to admit, what Bolt and Sarada did seemed to feel good, as much as I could read in their both expressions, their tongues was lolling out like a dog´s.

Their heartbeat accelerated and their movements became more forcefully, working for excitement and pleasure of the highest kind.

"So this is what they call..., sex?" I whispered, as I watched my brother and Sarada over my Byakugan, hidden behind the wooden wall of the shrine, with a massive nosebleed.

Originally I only wanted to see if they were perhaps sleeping, but then I didn´t saw them at the entrance but only clones of Bolt.

I was curious of where they might have been gone to, so I looked around and then found them behind the shrine, fumbling and making out, I was about to blind them out before I saw how Bolt revealed Sarada´s breasts.

At that moment it hit my curiosity, I always wanted to see Sarada´s body, uncovered, from which I often heard my brother swooning about in his sleep.

Saying that her large breasts were well shaped, same as he cute ass, that her hair was gorgeous, it got me even more curious whenever they touched hands willingly or accidently.

Sarada always seemed to be embarrassed, as if it was bothering her, that Bolt was able to touch her body in all public.

This secrecy made me so curious that I never let out an invitation to the Onsen with Shana, always hoping to meet Sarada there, but she rarely ever came and if, she always wore a towel, it would have been to suspicious and awkward to use the Byakugan in a bath full of women, especially when the Boys were right next to our bath, only separated by a wooden fence.

But now I was here, covered by the walls of the shrine, alone, watching my so called perfect brother and his perfect Girlfriend having sex like wild animals..., Sarada was even in her Neko-Sennin form.

Her tail stroke casually over Bolts body, and her Cat ears twitched, giving her an even cuter appearance, which made Bolts heart skipping beat for beat.

However there happened something in me while I was watching them, I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach-area and a sudden moisture in my underpants.

"Is this what they call `getting horny´?" I asked myself, as the feeling became uncomfortable, the more I watched.

It was not as if I had to pee, but it felt kind of funny.

I read in a magazine for girls, that girls often touched themselves down there, to relieve some stress or when they feel especially horny.

I was pondering if I might should touch me too.

"Aaaaah!" I heard it from outside, my hearing sense was far better than those of most normal humans beside of Hiro and Shana.

I could hear every moan and grunt of both of them and the more I heard and saw, the more the feelings in my lower region of my body intensified.

"Shall I really ..., touch it?" I gulped by this question, but before I truly could answer it, my hand already wandered under my dress and made her way to the tingling spot.

I could feel a sudden heat between my legs and a strange moisture.

I arrived at my panties and there it was, they were a little wet, even though I did not peed myself, that´s for sure.

"That magazine said that a few solid strokes should do their magic!" I mumbled to myself, as I stroked a finger over my panties, instantly my body reacted.

"ooooohhh!" I moaned, it felt kinda good..., and this from only one stroke.

"How must at least 5 in a row feel like?" I asked myself as I began to stroke again.

"Fuuuuuaaaaahhhh!" My back arched and my tongue lolled out on her own.

"Damn, that felt so good, why didn´t I ever did that before!" I mumbled as I began from anew, this time I did 10 strokes in a row, and with every 5 times more the feeling changed, getting stronger, hitting me deeper in the core, making me moaning and panting.

So long until my whole hand joined the fun and the strokes became constant.

The more I stroked, the more my whole body heated up and the more I was driven to touch every part of me, it started that I began to lick the fingers of my other hand, then I traced them down to join my other hand.

But soon the feeling intensified even more, my hand wandered up to my C-cup breasts, fondling them and stroking over my nipples, they made my body reacting with an arched back.

My breath accelerated and so my heart, I felt something coming, something big.

I could not stop anymore after the first 500 strokes, I was over the edge and here in the corner, deep in the shadow I vigorously masturbated, while I spied on my brother and his girlfriend having sex, call me pathetic but it just felt too good to stop.

I was close to overflow in pleasure as suddenly...

"Himawari?!" A voice stated right behind me, making me stopping dead in my tracks.

"Himawari is that you..., what are you...!" the voice stated and it was no one else but...

"Shit it´s Katsuo, did he see me, had I moaned too loud, what will he do, will he perhaps use this opportunity to blackmail me..., no way he isn´t that kind of person, although I admit I might not always have been nice to him..., but still, he wouldn´t, would he?" I thought in horror as I turned my head around to face him with a horrified expression.

"What are you..., huh... oh shit..., i-i-i-i´m sorry for interrupting!" I heard it and my fears were approved, Katsuo Haruno-Uchiha saw me masturbating in a corner, right here in a shrine of my ancestors.

"OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, WHAT SHALL I DO!" I asked myself in thoughts as fear let me go crazy, I heard soles making a sharp turn and steps fleeing hurriedly away.

"Stop right there!" I shouted as I turned around, pulling skirt and dress back in place.

He stopped dead in his track and turned around with a flushed face, not less red than mine perhaps.

"Katsuo!" I shouted, as I jumped before him, bowing with flushed face.

"5 dinners!" I stated.

"Huh, what do you mean?!" He only asked dumbfounded.,

"I treat you to 5 dinners, if you forget what you just saw!" I stated with determination.

"No fear your secret is safe I don´t need the din...!"

"I INSIST!" I shouted.

"Woah okay if it´s that important to you, but note that I would have kept shut, even without you treating me to a dinner, it´s a question of honor.

If you find the need to relieve yourself this way in a dark corner, when nobody watches, then feel free to do it!" He only said.

"Stop it, don´t say that this way and it was only a one-time-only-thing I swear..., anyways..., you saw it... right...?

M-M-M-My..., love-hill?" I asked blushing.

"You mean your Vagina?" Katsuo asked bluntly.

"Waaaaaaaah, shut up!" I shouted, punching him.

"Baka, don´t say such a thing again..., anyways..., show me yours now!" I demanded.

"Eeeeeeh, why should I do that?" He asked dumbfounded.

"You saw mine right, so we have to equal it, by you showing me yours!" I stated, as a matter of fact, I was right there, am I right?

"Geeez, but only a quick peek, no touching!" Katsuo stated.

"Why would I touch it?" I asked disgusted.

"Well I saw you using your Byakugan, so what did you spied on, perhaps Bolt and Sis, who knows what kind of ideas they gave you now!" Katsuo stated.

"Baka, I told you it was a one-time-only-thing, anyways, let me see!" I stated, not that I was eager to see it, but I only saw Bolt already buried deep within Sarada´s love hill, I had no chance to get a glimpse on a real one, not that I was that interested in seeing a meat stick anyways, but curiosity kills the cat they say.

"There, are you now satisfied?" Katsuo stated as he quickly pulled down his pants and almost instantly back up.

"Woah that was way too fast, you were staring at mine far longer!" I stated enraged.

"As if you would know!?" Katsuo replied flushing and furious.

"Anyways, do it rightly this time!" I demanded.

"Grrr fine, here, how is it, looks good, right, are you now satisfied!?" Katsuo stated sourly as he pulled down his pants.

The meat-stick fell out of them and almost stabbed my eye.

His thing was exposed to me, it was covered with some dark cherry-blossom colored pubic hair, it was not too long but also not too short I would say, perhaps average sized, not that I was an expert in that métier anyways.

It was throbbing and hard, standing out like a mast, it twitched a bit, I could see his balls and somehow the whole thing gave me a strange feeling, it was the same feeling of want, as if I saw something I like which I got to have for myself, as if I was longing for it to belong to me..., was this what they called lust?.

"Why is it so hard and hot?" I stated as I was about to touch it, fascinated by its sheer look.

"Never mind that.

Anyways now we are equal, right, geez you are one troublesome girl Himawari..., ahem anyways, about what I actually wanted, I wanted to give you my apologies.

I was thinking a long time about the battle earlier and I came to the conclusion that I will ask my father to give me private after work training to become even stronger, I will defend you properly the next time, I swear I will train so hard and the next time you see me fighting ,you will see a different Katsuo!" He stated, his face burning red.

"...Alright if this your wish, still promise me in return something!" I stated flushing.

"What can I do for you?" Katsuo asked.

"No matter how strong you become, even if you fully awake your Sharingan..., promise me to stay yourself, as the Katsuo I know since my childhood.

Do not dare to ever fall to any kind of darkness, understood, if you can promise me this, I will be gladly waiting for you to become even stronger than you already are!" I stated with a smile.

He really was a cutie sometimes, even when he could be kind of an idiot too, but he is always concerned to be not strong enough to protect us, Shana, Hiro and me , even though he clearly is.

It as not his fault to have lost against a pack of Hyuuga assassins, they are supposed to be the strongest assassins of Konoha, swift and perfect in their work.

That Katsuo was able to kill 6 at one strike was already a masterpiece.

"I thank you for your kind words, but note that what I said are no empty words, I will make my claim reality.

Anyways I better go back to Shana and Hiro, perhaps they have woken up again, I healed them as best as I could and thanks to Sarada's healing, most of Shana´s inner wounds have been closed, still we later should bring them to mother, she knows best to heal everything!" He said, as he fetched me a smile before he turned around.

"By the way Himawari... seeing you doing that..., it made my heart skip a beat..., and I admit, I was feeling aroused by it, horny and hard, hot for you.

I never imagined you to do something so dirty at a place like this... but I kinda like this dirtiness on you, it make you so much more interesting!" Katsuo stated with a nice guy pose before he ran off.

After that statement, I was too buff to scream and shout at him, all I could do was erupting in embarrassment and blushing deep red.

"...Baka...!" I stated before a smile crept up my face.

"Oooooh Bolt, Not... my Tits... if you keep fondling them..., they might get bigger..., my bras won't fit anymore!" I heard Sarada's muffled voice shouting.

"Fondling the Breasts makes them bigger?" I asked in wonder, looking at mine, they were well grown, but perhaps not big enough for a girl of my age, although Bolt always kept a mad eye at every boy who looked with a lust filled glance at them.

All but to Katsuo as I just recognized..., if anything he and Sarada always supported our friendship and always suggested me to be in his company the most, just as if they wish for me and him to come together.

"Well it´s not like he isn't cool, nice, cute and strong and his..., thing is ..., kinda nice looking too!" I thought blushing so hard, my head might smoke right now.

"Maybe I just should listen to the others and try it out with him..., more than getting better can´t happen, right..., he always claims to love me.

Who knows perhaps Katsuo is my man for life!" I thought, as I followed him to the others, unaware of what happened around us.

And not prepared of what very soon now will come.

Part 4.3/ Interrupted lovers, danger on the track

Sarin´s Pov:

We were flying since good a half hour and my forces were all back.

"Where is that Shrine now, uhhhmmm... huh..., ah over there, the strange spot over there, somehow it is the only place in the whole forest which seems not to be pested!" I stated, as I pointed towards the shrine.

"Hmm seems like it has to be a ritual place of the Uzumaki Clan, perhaps a place for Soul-invocations and banishment, so it´s only normal that massive white force is covering this place.

A force the dark Miasma cannot penetrate, so to say a save point!" Rughian stated.

"Hmm, there seems to be someone!" He stated.

"hmm, ah... Bolt, Sarada!" I shouted, as I spotted them both behind the shrine.

"Hold on I will go down!" Rughian stated.

"Alright!" I replied and held myself stronger on his feathers.

"Hmmm..., oh my, Rughian wait a second!" I stated, blushing at what I heard and also saw.

"Y-y-yeah what is it!" The same stated, as he looked at me with a flustered face.

"You already know that we probably will interrupt them, right?!" I asked and he only nodded.

"But at the entrance are clones of Boruto so please fly over there, it is easier, this way we don´t interrupt them!" I stated.

"Alright hold on tight!" He stated, as he dived over to the entrance before.

"Wait what is that!?" Rughian was stopped right in the air.

"A shield jutsu!" The same replied as he looked around, the shield was making waves like water after he crashed inside.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains, this is a shield of an Uzumaki, so this must be Bolt´s jutsu!" I stated

"Stop who´s there!" A voice asked, as we landed before the Shield.

"It´s me Sarin!" I stated.

"Prove it..., what did you do as we met the very first time?" The clones asked with kunais in their hands.

"I rode on Camelot, my lion, out of the Forest of death towards you guys and my dad, we all met at the Chunin tower!" I stated.

"Alright..., who´s that?" Bolt´s clones stated suspicious.

"Oh that´s Rughian, an acquaintance of me and my father!" I Stated.

I did not lied thought, but due to Sakura-san´s reaction, who knows how Bolt will react if I mention Neherit.

The Clones scanned us of with their Byakugan.

"What is he exactly, there seems to be a human soul in this body!?" Bolt´s Clone asked.

"He has the ability to transform into a human, but he originally is a crow!" I Stated.

"... I will believe you..., for now, c´mon in, what are you doing here?" They asked.

"We are here to solve the problem with this forest, my dad and Salia are in the Town and helping them out!" I stated.

"I understand, well then rest a bit, Bolt´s Father stated that we should stay here to guard the way to Konoha and to be safe from the forest!" Bolt´s clone stated.

"Alright, we will help as best as we can!" I stated.

"C´mon in!" The Clone stated and opened the shield, one of them shattered to give the information to the original Bolt.

The same came, together with a blushing and pouting Sarada, after a few minutes from behind the Shrine.

"You did not have to come out, you could finish what you started, you know!" I stated, which made them both burning up in embarrassment.

"We..., we were done anyways!" Bolt stated blushing.

"Anyways how's the situation?!" Sarada asked, with a flushed face.

"Neherit´s momentarily fighting in the forest and he probably is going to burn it down!" I stated.

"Ssssssshhhhhhs!" Suddenly the leaves of the trees bended in the wind, which seemed to rush over us in the direction of the Chunin Tower.

Kind of like a reverse-Shockwave.

"Huuuu, Uaaah!" I shouted, as I looked and saw that the trees around the save-point had withered in seconds.

"The tree, it´s draining all life-forces from the forest!" Rughian stated, as suddenly a sinister and evil glimmer was to see over the edge of the forest.

"But why?" I asked myself dumbfounded.

"Grrrooooaaaaaaaaarrr!" As on call, a massive noise shook the ground.

It was silent for a short while before suddenly the earth shook, repeatedly, like steps of something massive.

"That sounds not good at all!" I stated and backed away.

"There is something giant moving in the forest..., and it looks like it comes right at us!" Bolt stated, watching over his Byakugan.

"Dammit, seems like we will have to fight after all!" I stated.

"Guys what´s going on!" We heard it behind us as we saw Himawari, Katsuo and their friend running out of the Shrine, two of the kids were supporting each other.

"Seems like big troubles are coming this way!" Bolt stated.

"I Hope Neherit is alright!" I mumbled.

"I Hope so too!" Rughian nodded, as we watched how that big shadow came closer.

Part 4.4/ Watashimori, on wings of Fire we ride, Demon-slayers, the Truth about our hearts.

Neherit´s Pov:

"Dammit, why is this Body so weak?" I thought for the tenth time, as the vines of the giant tree threw me backwards for the hundredth time.

It was hard to fight, since I momentarily had only access to 25% of my original Power, and if I use them all, this body is going to be destroyed for sure.

It will be a pain to have to create a new body again, it could last for months and I would have to travel from body to body again, in order to interact, and who is telling me that we even have all that time anymore.

"Goddammit, If only my own Body would finally be healed and grown out fully!" I mumbled.

Even though this Body is made out of Shinju material, making it more durable than a normal Human Body and close to my original Body, was it still only a copy.

A simple temporary vessel for my soul.

Weaving-Life Jutsus, or Banbutsu Sōzō (Creation of all things) as they are called by the humans today, are easy for me, but it takes up too much time, to create a true completely resurrected body and right now with my reduced power, I can only bring them back for one year.

If I had my full force, I could bring them all back for good.

Even with the Rinnegan´s ability, Rinne-tensei no Jutsu, a body can only be resurrected with 60% of the original power, even though the resurrected thinks it is the entire power they had before.

And after all, being dead for centuries takes its toll, even to the strongest man.

It´s easier to resurrect someone, when the soul still wanders in the Grey Dimension, or the person has passed away, only under 40 years ago.

Same as I had done with Nagato, Lady Mito and Sarin.

Luckily is there still the possibility to let the growth of the Body stopping, when they have reached a certain limit, this way even a senior can be reborn in a fully functional young body.

Souls are funny, no matter how old the Body gets, the soul will never change, it will always stay like a child´s one, learning and adapting itself to new things, Just like Mito-san´s.

I met her a few decades before, as Grandmother Chika took me with her to the Uzumaki Clan, to introduce myself.

She still was only a teen back then, cheeky, stubborn and loud, that's how I remembered her, she always tried to play with me, even though I had to study a lot, and if I didn´t do it, she annoyed the hell out of me.

But eventually, the older she got, the more she seemed to have fallen for me at some point, but it was pointless, even with her longevity I could not accept her feelings, in a way it was good that her father later made her marrying Hashirama.

As a Full blood Mezakan, I would live far longer than her or anybody, as long as I don´t get killed in the war, and friendships which are bound to end someday, are just pointless when you are practically immortal.

"They called us monsters, Cherubim, Extraterrestrials, Gods, Witches and Witch-masters, angles or demons, even going as far as to think we were a breed of both, the Nephilim.

We had been avoided, envied, feared, hated, hunted, killed and then being forgotten for millennia, banished in the realm of fantasy, myths and legends.

The Humans caused this planet nothing but trouble and even though we never really were welcome to them, did we always tried our best to lead them, protect them.

We were the ones who always were there, to make their life comfortable... and for what, for ourselves to live at the end of the world, in a desolated piece of dust, rocks and dead earth, hunted and feared.

Far away from every warm words, set out to the coldness of the world and only needed when things go downhill.

Humans are greedy, evil and cruel, they only know corruption, hatred and violence..., even if they claim to love, how can they really, if their love is leading to even more hatred and violence, none of them have ever understand what real love means.

When someone is connecting souls with the partner, when none of them can ever die, as long as the other one lives, when they only die when both are killed.

Love unto death, which is true love!" I thought while I defended myself against the beats of the vines.

I had to end this fight quick, this body gets exhausted too easy, also is the life-force draining ability of this thing anything but easy to handle.

"Just how many souls do you already have eaten?" I asked myself.

The Combat power of this tree was amazing.

Alone the radius of it´s evil, parasite-like forces was truly outstanding.

The entire forest has become a deathtrap for every living organism.

If I don´t end it all soon, everyone in town is going to die, so Naruto and his friends and comrades, or the kids and the world still needs them.

But beside them also Rughian, Grandmother Chika, Chikami, Chikara..., wherever she is momentarily and of course Sarin..., they all might die then as well, I don´t want to truly admit it, but there is something on her, on Sarin Uzumaki..., something which reminds me on Chikami, even though I always thought that Chikami was unique in her personality.

Still..., Sarin might be strong, but she´s no match for this thing here, it´s the best for her to stay away from the battlefield if she don´t want to die.

"Phew, that was close!" I shouted, as I dodged a deathly beat of heavy vines which instead shattered another tree.

Of course it hurt the demon, as I already had found out, as long as this parasite-demon is connected towards the forest, every harm done to it also affects him.

Unfortunately did my fire-power proved to still be too less to burn down the forest.

I just had used up too much power as I crafted the island and recreated the bodies, also haven´t I really slept since a month, only dozen of for short whiles.

I know I have to get some rest soon, or else I will become useless, and I can't afford to become useless, or else all the things I had given up to fulfil my role, would have been for nothing at all.

The outburst at Sakura-san from earlier was an evidence for my exhaustion and stress.

But after all the evil does not sleep and it is anything but easy to locate in time, as this case here shows.

If I would have located this thing earlier, Konoha might have not been attacked, however my resources and abilities for now are quite stretched already anyways.

Without the help of the five Lands, these kind of attacks will continue, without us ever being able to be right on time to prevent them..., perhaps only with a lucky coincidence.

"Speaking of luck this thing really has bad eyes!" I thought as I once again dodged an attack.

The thing, since a few minutes already grown to an adult wood-Golem, made his way after me, chasing me more and more towards Konohagakure.

I tried to escape in the other directions, but the beings the golem created, are making every escape in the opposite direction futile.

"Seems like it´s on the run to attack the buffet!" I thought as I used my sword to cut through the vines, even though it was a strong Blade, forged by the best blacksmith of the Mezakan clan, was it still not the true thing.

The best to kill demons are Spirit-gears anyways, unfortunately are the only ones I know not in my possession but either with Grandmother Chika or back in the Castle.

Still I don´t want to use Tamashīken anyways, it is just too precious to me, as long as She still refuses to wander over into the body I have created for her.

"Huh, dammit, this might end bad!" I mumbled as I felt the presence of Humans right where the Golem chased me towards.

We broke through the forest and landed on a clearing, I instantly saw where we were and it could not be any worse.

We arrived right at the shrine where I had send Sarin and Rughian towards.

It was only logical that they were scared beyond believe.

An army of wood demon-animals and a giant golem ready and incoming to eat them souls.

"Goddammit tonight the luck is definitely not on my side!" I muttered, as I landed on the sacred ground of the Uzumaki mask storage shrine.

"Neherit!" I heard it from behind as Sarin and the others ran up to me.

"This thing is one big bad boy!" I heard Sana Aburzuka stating, (Inuzuka x Aburame).

"Well it´s out to eat you alive, what else should this thing be but evil?" I stated rolling my eyes.

"Why the hell did you brought this thing here towards us?" Sarada-chan asked me with the same tone as her mother.

"You think I freely brought this thing towards Konoha, I was chased, haven't you seen how big this Golem and it´s Legion is.

I´m exhausted, not because I was chased and had to fight or so, no, just in case you don´t know, I was not sitting all month long on my ass, preparing for a festival of Ninja rank promotion.

As if that is the most important right now, while most of you were prepare to celebrate their minds out, get drunk and take Konoha to higher levels of ecstasy, did I strengthen the defenses of the united Ninja world!

I killed demons and other beings which in secret already have broken from their seals and merged under the humanity incognito, feeding on their souls and life-forces, ever since the massive Miasma break out during the fourth world War and the Moonfall-case.

I have by god enough shit experienced the whole month, so instead of yelling at me, would you guys mind to get that stick out of your asses and fight?" I asked in annoyance.

I didn´t even waited for anyone of them to reply.

"Rughian I will need your help, we will have to burn the forest finally down, that´s the only way on how we can defeat that thing!" I stated.

"Shouldn´t we before do something against the drain of life-force, we have no idea how long that fight will last, if we don´t hurry they all will die?" Rughian asked.

"Mhm, indeed that´s a problem, well I think there is still a chance, the Miasmas effect can be nullified by a sacred ground, like the one we are standing right now.

If we would have the power of light on our side, it would be easy, but right now all we could do is to order them to raise a stone dome around the town.

Inorganic material block the miasma, but not so much, this way the life-force drain will only be hindered for a little while, maybe enough for the stronger ones to get back on their feet!" I stated.

"Light force... you need light forces you say..., maybe I can help!?" I heard it behind me.

"Hmmm!" I turned around to face Himawari Uzumaki, Boruto´s little sister.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I happen to have a contract with Lady Inari, the Wild-sage of light, if that might help I could ask her to help us?" Himawari-chan stated.

"A Wild sage of light, perfect, you have to go towards Konoha then, get inside and summon her!" I stated.

"Unfortunately will that last long, the force I have from the moon right now is less than usually, perhaps because it´s a Blood moon instead of a pure full moon!" She explained.

"Geez, that's bad..., argh it does not matter, here give me your hand!" I stated.

"What are you trying to do?" Boruto shouted instantly stepping between me and his sister to shield her.

"Grrr I don´t have time for that bullshit now so move out of my way, or I might use you as a decoy for this thing!" I stated through grit teethes, pointing at the Golem, who still tried to break the Shield, which was enforced through the sacred grounds power.

"Tell me what you want to do!" Boruto-san shouted staying at place.

"I will give her a power-charge, half of my remaining force, it should be enough to summon a Wild-sage!" I stated, as I grabbed Himawari-chan´s hand forcefully.

"Ow, be careful will you!" She yelled.

"We got no time for gentleness, if you haven´t recognized yet, this here is near a war, so stop whining around..., geeez and you guys call yourselves warriors of Ninjutsu!" I stated with annoyance, as I charged her up.

"This should be enough, now someone got to send you to Konoha, it would be idiotic to run through the forest, the golem will know and his legion will attack you in an instant, you have to find a different way

Meanwhile the rest of you will hopefully stay and fight on my side, understood!" I stated.

"Alright, Katsuo, Sana, Hiro, you guys will go with Himawari, keep her safe we don´t know if the men of Hizamaru Hyuuga are still after her, if he knows about the failed attempt of his men earlier that night!" Boruto-san stated, as he was engulfed in the Kyuubi's chakra preparing for teleporting his sister and her friends.

"He might not understand why you suddenly vanished right now, but be careful, it might be that the parasite has already contaminated the trees in Konohagakure as well, and if he comprehends he might tries to attack you guys through them, don´t come too near to them understood!" I explained.

"We will be careful!" they said and playfully saluted.

"Katsuo, I trust you with the life of my sister, understood!?" Boruto stated with a stern glance at Sarada´s little brother.

"Understood, Bolt, she will be safe on my side, no tree, nor anyone or anything will be able to harm her!" The same replied.

"You got to get it right by the beginning, you have no possibility for a recharge, perhaps only your father, at least if he´s still in town at the moment, if not you guys are sitting in the trap.

Use my Power only for the summoning, stay away from every fight, the best is if you summon her somewhere where she can purify the entire village like a shockwave!" I said to Himawari, putting my hands on her shoulder looking at her with all seriousness I have.

"Will be done!" She stated nodding.

"Alright, do it!" I commanded Boruto.

"Alright stay still now, 1, 2, 3, Go!" He shouted, as he used Hiraishin no Jutsu to send them away.

Bolt´s Pov:

I felt bad for sending the kids back in town after they just had been attacked earlier, still if Neherit is right then this is our only chance, and after all someone has to defeat these things here.

"Good that would have been done, now we have to deal with that one..., geez if only we would have more firepower!" Neherit stated.

In my opinion he was massively stressed out, the way he shouted at us and his claim from earlier witnessed his exhaustion.

I better stop questioning his acts and just simply go with the flow..., unless he seems to become a treat to Sarada, Sarin and me, then I have to stop him no matter what.

"Firepower, what do you mean?" Sarada asked.

"With normal fire this guy isn´t to beat, it might be wood but it´s strong durable wood, strengthen through blood, souls and evil forces, which it gives of to the rest of the forest, making them equal to his durability!" Neherit stated.

"So we have to use something stronger than Katon right, how about Enton (Blaze-style)?!" Sarada asked.

"Inferno-fire of the Dragons, flames filled with miasma, once created by Armageddon, the last demon in the Hell-circles before the three titans and one of the second generation of Wild sages of Inferno.

This would be anything but a good idea, maybe it would even get worse and the forest takes over its power, making it in the end completely fire-resistant.

What we need is Hiseiton (Pyro-static-style) or Seikaton (sacred-fire-style), fire able to purify or burn anything evil away..., the flames of a Wild-Sage of fire!" Neherit explained.

"A Wild-sage of fire!" I mumbled.

I knew exactly who he meant..., I guess that the time has finally come to claim the favor I still have.

"I guess we should probably get going then!" I stated, clenching my fist.

"Yeah let´s beat them all, before worse things happen!" Neherit stated and he, as well as Sarin and Rughian attacked the golem.

"Sarada wait a second!" I held her back, as she was about to engage in the battle as well.

"What´s the matter Bolt!?" She asked.

I took her in my arms and held her close.

"Bolt, what...?"

"Everything you see now..., I will tell you all about it later okay, just please, all I beg you is to not hate me for what I have done!" I stated as I looked at her.

"... I don´t think I quite understand the matter right now..., but note one thing, I could never hate you, no matter what!" Sarada stated.

"I really hope you still say that after you know what I have done to you!" I stated, as I shed some tears, stroking over her face.

"Bolt..., what do you mean by that!"? She asked.

"I have cursed you Sarada, cursed you with near immortality!" I stated.

"... I don´t understand... Bolt, what have you done to me, tell me?" Sarada asked me with a worried face.

"I tell you later just, note that I had done anything only to save your life!" I stated, before I released her out of my embrace.

"We should now go!" I stated.

"...okay!" Sarada stated confused and worried.

I knew she might be angry at me, I have done something terrible to her.

"NEHERIT!" I suddenly heard it coming from the battle field.

I saw how Sarin jumped in front of a wounded and exhausted Neherit, to shield him.

"The time has come, by the fire high up in the sky and the flames deep down in the core, I call upon you, Lord of all flames.

Come forth and lend me your powers, King of the Phoenixes, Fushichō, Wild-sage of fire, Senpō, Shugosha Kuchiyose no jutsu!" I shouted, as I bit in both of my thumbs, drawing the sign for fire on the right and the sign for Sacred on the left palm of my hands.

I bashed my hands on the ground and right before me a giant burning ritual circle appeared out of which a giant firestorm emerged, the force of summon seemed to be even amplified here on this sacred ground.

"We should have summon Lady Inari here instead in the town!" I thought, as I channeled nature-chakra through the seal, which was used as a gateway between the dimension of our world and the Skyfire-Valley.

"Bolt..., how do you are able to do that, when did you encounter a Wild-Sage?" Sarada asked in awe, as the giant Phoenix arrived, in full armor and with flying colors.

"A Year ago, you will not remember, because I let the memories being erased out of you mind..., anyways, a year ago we had that mission in Fiero Village, on the outskirt of Hi no Kuni on an Island near the coast.

It was said to be a simple Bodyguard job, however only we two were there to do it, Konoha-sensei was doing errands for my father and Senpou was away from Konoha.

Anyways strange things happened, one of them was that I met the Phoenixes..., the rest I tell you later!" I Stated as Fushichō was finished with materializing.

"You have called for my help, Boruto Uzumaki?" Fushichō asked me with a mighty voice.

"Yes, Lord Fushichō, unfortunately are we drowning in deep problems, a mighty demon has arrived here near Konoha, who tries to suck out all life of its surrounding, and... well I think you see yourself, the Demon has manifested to kill us all once and for all, if we don´t want thousands of people dying, we will have to erase this thing!" I stated, as I pointed towards the Golem, who was distracted from Rughian enabling Neherit and Sarin to effectively dodge the piercing attack of the vines.

"I see, you got many problems indeed, very well, as promised I will help you, Boruto, I will use my entire power to serve your needs!" Fushichō explained and I was engulfed in his fiery chakra, which created wings of fire on my back and deadly claws on my hands.

My vision was augmented too.

"Well then, let´s burn down the forest!" I said to my Partner.

"Count us in!" Sarada stated, as she stood with Nekomata.

"Two fights in a row..., today seems to be my Lucky day!" The same stated with his Cheshire-grin.

"Alright, we will take upon the legion and the forest, you guys take upon the Golem together with the others..., be careful, honeybee, okay!" I ordered Sarada.

"Roger, sweetheart!" She stated cheerfully.

"Here we go, Fushichō!" I shouted and together we rose up in the sky.

"You got a nice friend there, strong, mighty, good looking, simply the leader-type, guess your battle against his mother and your father was a success then?!" I heard Nekomata stating.

"Indeed, anyways let´s get going too okay!" Sarada replied.

"As you wish, Partner!" Nekomata stated as he raised Sarada up on his palm to his back letting her sitting there.

"Here we go!" They stated.

"Hey Boruto!" Fushichō stated.

"Yeah, what´s the matter Lord Fushichō!" I asked.

"Nice girl you got there, fierce, strong and a will able to shift mountains, I like her!" the giant firebird stated.

"She´s the best and she is mine, and I will not share a single hair of her!" I stated with a growl.

"No need to be angry, she´s way too young for me anyways, perhaps in 5 years, but now this would be called a crime I think!" he joked.

"You better keep your hands by your own, I swear I will finish you off if you touch her!" I stated a note more serious.

"Easy, man, easy!" he only said, I always forget that he´s been born as a modern human, before becoming the King of an ancient race 1 year before.

"Anyways, I shall now begin with burning the forest away, but are you sure, it´s funny to call the town Konohagakure when there are no leaves anymore who hides it!" Fushichō stated,

"We will simply have to plant it again, it will maybe take a hundred years for it to regrow, but who says we all still have even 10 years anymore, when the three titans will attack in two years, a missing forest will be the last anyone cares about!" I stated.

"The three titans, but it isn´t the time, it has only been 600 years ago since the war had ended and the war that time lasted only 500 years!" Fushichō stated in surprise.

"The world was mostly intact and didn´t had to be reset, what already was suspicious and you say they will attack in two years, how would you know?!" Fushichō asked.

"We have seen visions of the future you had been there as well, that's why it was not a memory of the past, as I only know you for 1 year, it could not be any similar looking ancestors of us Kids!" I stated.

"I see, that's bad, the three titans are beings which shall never return, but the two less stronger ones always manage to break out, the last time 600 years ago!" Fushichō stated while igniting the forest with his fire-breath, as knew king he inherited the knowledge of his ancestors and so all secrets of the Phoenixes.

"So Neherit is speaking the truth then, I only know bits abou the situation, but it´s said that the three titans are out to kill each and everything am I right?" I asked.

"Indeed, still no one knows where they actually are coming from, but they had been here, even long before the Jinkensha clan.

Their first appearance was long after a war of the previous generation of humanity, long before the Shinobi came, as the world just had begun to heal from that War!" Fushichō stated.

"Well then we better don´t let it come to another war, anyways are you ready!" I stated as we once again took a deep breath to set the forest ablaze.

"Ready when you are!" He stated.

"Here we go!" I shouted, and so we fired another salve down.

This went so for a while, I was keeping the legion away and Fushichō was burning down the forest.

"Grrrrroooooaaaaarrr!" we heard it behind us, seeing the Golem breaking through the barricade made by Sarin, Neherit, Rughian, Nekomata and Sarada.

"Shit, shit, shit, it´s coming after us!" I stated as the Golem came dangerously closer, ready to jump and take us to the ground.

"Huh!" I suddenly felt a massive chakra speeding up to us.

"Dad?" I asked dumbfounded, as the Golem, which indeed had jumped, was pushed away from his flight right from the side by something massive.

"Kurama, Dad!" I shouted as I recognized our saviors.

"Hey Bolt, how are things?" Dad asked me as he re-arrived on our side.

"More or less under control, we pull through I would say!" I replied.

"It´s better than nothing, thanks for sending us Himawari and her Partners, they were a good help, most of the town people have already recovered from their coma, soon everybody will be back on the track.

You did a good job, my son!" Dad stated ruffling my hair.

"It was not my idea thought, you have to thank Neherit for that, he gave us the clue to ask Lady Inari for help!" I stated.

"I see, did he also gave you this Wild-sage on your side?" Dad asked.

"No, I encountered him during the Fire-mountain case last year, you still remember?" I asked.

"Ah yeah..., your secret, you never told me exactly what happened back then, though!" Dad stated.

"I´m going to clear it all up later, for now we have to burn down the forest!" I explained.

"Alright, guess we will have to yet again postpone the Chunin examen to make a medical check of everybody.

Seniors and toddlers were the first ones to get sick, thankfully no one has died tonight, your tip was good, as we went there to investigate, we just witnessed how the Golem walked away, chasing something, then we were attacked and had to slay our way through to you guys.

"Anyways is everybody alright?" Dad asked.

"Yes we are!" I stated.

"Good I brought some reinforcement for you!" He said as suddenly others appeared.

Mom, Sakura and Sasuke san, Konohamaru-sensei, Hanabi Nee-san, Mirai-sensei, Gaara-san, Uncle Killer B and Yugito-san as well as our friends.

"Bolt, are you alright?" They all shouted, each one of them being engulfed in Kyuubi´s chakra.

"Yeah I am!" I shouted over to them.

"Anyways son, are you ready to turn up" Dad stated.

"Of course I am, let´s go!" I shouted as I once again engaged in the battle.

The tables had turned, massively.

The golem was covered in attacks faster than he liked.

The forest was meanwhile been fully burned down by Fushichō and me.

"The finishing blow!" Sarada shouted as she was about to use her Katon-jutsu.

"Sarada Watch out!" I shouted, as I saw how sharp vines reached to pierce through her body.

I teleported myself right at her side pushing her out of the way.

"Bolt!" I heard it coming, I looked but before the vines reached me something different blocked my view, and I was grabbed from behind.

"Haaaaaaaa!" I heard Neherit´s voice as I saw him being pierced by the vines.

"NEHERIT!" I heard it above me shouting.

"No fear i´m alright!" Neherit stated, I looked to see Sarin and Rughian, who held me in his claws.

"Time to end this farce, once and for all!" Neherit shouted as he suddenly was thrown upwards by the vines, let go, only for the tree to create a mouth made of branches.

Neherit dived from high above right into the `mouth´ and somehow something happened, there was a light shining through the branches.

The light exploded in a massive shockwave and thousands of light-balls emerged out of the tree, floating around like stars.

"Are these...?" Sarin began.

"Indeed, these are all the souls that the tree had consumed so far!" Rughian stated.

"Seems like he used Tamashīton,Jorei-jutsu no tamashī Kari (Soul-style, Exorcism-Jutsu of the Soul-hunt) a mighty attack with which he is able to separate Soul and Body without harming both.

So to say one punches the soul out of its vessel!" Rughian explained.

The tree began to wither and break in an amazing speed, falling to dust and blood, robbed of every power.

What remained was a young tree with green leaves, in which a black sinister looking dagger stuck deep within the core, near the roots.

Next to the tree laid Neherit, unmoving.

"NEHERIT!" Sarin shouted as Rughian flew over to the scene, she jumped of Rughian's back and ran to him.

"Are you okay!?" I heard her asking him.

"Yeah just give me a second!" He replied, as I was sat down by Fushichō and walked over to them.

Neherit was about to pull the dagger out of the tree´s trunk, as soon as it left the wood, it fell to nothing but dust.

This way it cannot harm anyone anymore, now all what´s left is to seal the inhuman dark souls, which we call Akuma Tamago (Demon Eggs), away or else the miasma is taking them back over, creating likely out of each of them a demon!" He explained as he was supported by Sarin.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu, appear, Horobi no Mon (Gate of Damnation)!" Neherit shouted as suddenly out of a giant Ritual circle a massive gate appeared, a fearsome demonic mask-like face was attached on it.

"Wait... this face..., I saw it once before..., yes this looks like one of the faces on the Box of Ultimate bliss!" My father stated, as he stepped over to us.

"Box of Ultimate bliss, is this how it has been called afterwards..., so it has been found again?!" Neherit stated about the just heard.

"What do you mean with found again, what do you know about this thing?" Father asked with narrowed eyes.

Neherit simply ignored the newly directed suspicion and told us everything he knew.

"The Box was once created by the dragons of Purgatory, it was one way to summon the crossroad of death, which uses two ways, to suck all the souls in, which have long parted from being human, so mainly the Akuma Tamago.

Also I summons the two ways, who takes in those souls who have been good, kind and brave for all their life, but have either been killed or ripped out of their life by unfortunate circumstances.

There are four ways and gates a soul can pass after the grey dimension, to reach the afterlife and later being reborn.

The two ways of Punishment:

The way of endless sorrow, mostly reserved for the souls of peoples, envious or unsatisfied by their lives and about the whole world, who have become mass-murderers, killing for death´s sake, they are to experience a lifetime in which nothing ever belongs to them, where everything gets taken away from them, over and over again and they are unable to change anything, they are to witness their fall unmoving.

The way of endless suffering, reserved for those souls who killed for fun or out of perverted satisfaction, they are to experience a lifetime of pain and punishment, simply tortures of hell.

And then there are the two ways of gratification:

The way of endless happiness, where souls, who had been good their whole life or who fought to save lifes and defend others, who had real hearts of gold, are blessed with living for a lifetime away from all sickness and sorrow and any misfortune.

The way of endless love, where souls are reunited with their ancestors, experiencing a lifetime of love, care and kindness in their closes circle, rarely they are even allowed to see their beloved one on earth for a last time saying goodbye.

These are the four ways and Gates to lead souls.

There is also a Gate guardian, an old Crow-sage called Satori, who guards the balance of light and darkness within the Box itself, if one of the gates gets overloaded, it can cause massive problems and these problems affect himself as well.

Therefore Satori usually was able to differ right from wrong and which souls to lead where, however, after the Dragons also failed their mission, the rite for summoning the box fell in the hands of the Ryu-clan-members who guarded the remains of Armageddon.

I told you that they fed souls towards Armageddon in order to resurrect it, didn´t I Sarin, well the rite they used for that, during their war against the world, was the rite to summon the box.

He more souls entered the box, which had been forcefully taken in hatred and sorrow, the more the balance between good and evil fell and so it also corrupted Satori more and more.

In the end as the Box had been eaten by Armageddon in order for him to gather and consume it´s stolen souls and life-forces from, it has been fully corrupted to the evil, Satori was only a mere puppet to the box´s dark, newly created will, anymore.

It was from these days on always on the hunt for souls to throw them into the box, corrupting their souls, to use them against humanity and those who were sent to seal it away.

As Armageddon was defeated again, the box sucked every remaining life-energy in its surrounding up, so also Armageddon's life-energy, corrupting it even more.

It closed itself, having long being unable to purify anymore and so counts to the Noroi heiki (cursed weapons), which we from the Mezakan Clan had sealed away on a secret place.

Seems like someone managed to find and unseal it again and use it for more evil deeds.

Perhaps the remaining Rabbits or even some of the still living Dragons-sages.

No matter what, the Shinigami no Hako (Box of the Death god) is a powerfull evil containment.

If you ever encountered it before, you are lucky to still be alive, tell me where it is and I shall seal it away another time, and this time once and for all!" Neherit explained.

"I threw it in the ocean near the cliffs and whirlpools, no one is able to get it, it´s safe, you don´t need to worry!" Killer B stated.

"I wouldn´t be so sure about it, but if you don´t want to tell me, I will have to find the location out by myself!" Neherit stated sighing in annoyance.

"Anyways, seems like we finally managed to end it all!" Rughian stated.

"Indeed, at least for now, i´m sure whoever brought this thing to us, is long not done with his attacks, still we had luck this was an artificial Gallow-tree, no a nature-living one, if it were, it would have been a whole lot more difficult to defeat it.

Anyways i´m quite exhausted so don´t mind me, I just am so tired!" Neherit stated yawning, before his eyes were falling more and more, before he finally was asleep, while gently snoring, while being held by Sarin which lovingly caressed hairs out of his face.

"Guess that he was really exhausted!" I stated.

"He hasn´t slept for a month by now, he always was busy working!" Rughian explained.

"I see, well he does have rescued us all, so I guess we better all apologize for our hostility against him!" Dad stated.

"You are damn right, Neherit only tries to save the world, he even set his own personal revenge on 3rd place of his priorities; so serious are things to him right now.

Everything has been taking from him and still he gives everything to not lose even more!" Rughian explained.

"You speak too much Rughian, let´s get out of here, I had enough hostility directed to me for one day!" Neherit´s soul stated with a hiss, as she emerged halfway out of the body, making Rughian freezing dead in his track.

"Crap he heard me..., guess you are right!" Rughian stated sweat-dropping, cursing under his breath.

"I told you so often, my past is none of anyone's business and only concerns me and those who had been there that time, so don´t tell things around!" Neherit growled merciless.

"I´m sorry Neherit!" Rughian stated submissive.

"Anyways i´m going back to my momentarily home to rest and tank new forces, if anything happens come see me, until then, just keep going, do whatever you like to do!" Neherit stated, as he was placed on Rughian's back by the same.

"I´m coming with you!" I heard Sarin stating, determined.

"You not gonna listen to me anyway, even when I tell you to stay here, am I right?" Neherit only asked annoyed.

"You damn right, you will need my help, I will take good care about you, do not fear!" Sarin stated with a smile.

"May I Lord Hokage?" She asked my father.

"Well it might be better to have him in best shape again and if you like to go then do so, just try to keep yourself safe, Shigure, Salia please accompany them!" The Hokage stated.

"So i´m still under surveillance Naruto-san?" Neherit´s voice atoned from Rughian's back.

"No, but I rather like to know what´s going on in your surroundings, your actions are still more or less suspicious, Shigure though told me what you said to him, but I still have no concrete details.

I await your report within a week Shigure-san!" Father stated.

"Roger, sir!" Sarin´s dad saluted.

"Sarin are you really sure about this?" Sarada asked.

"Not you too, I though you finally have understand that Neherit is a good guy!" Sarin replied annoyed.

"No that´s not what I meant I mean, what if something bad happens while you are there!" Sarada stated.

"Well it´s not as if I run in the danger of being attacked in a shielded castle with massively strong animals around, also if I can help then it is my duty to do so and I want to help him!" Sarin stated.

"I See, just... be careful okay!" Sarada nodded.

"Geez who are you my mother, i´m always careful!?" Sarin stated annoyed.

"Rughian let´s get out of here!" Sarin stated.

"Wait a moment, there is something happening with that young tree!" we heard Lady Inari´s voice stating.

"What´s going on?" I wondered, as I saw the tree glowing in a bright green light.

"Aaaah after 100 years finally free, it has been too long before I last was able to breath up again.

I´m so grateful you saved me from the darkness, how can I ever thank you enough!" A voice stated, it seemed to come from the tree.

"Are you perhaps a nature-spirit?" Neherit´s voice asked.

"Indeed my name is Nymphelia, the Spirit of this tree, at your service, I saw your soul young Mezakan-boy and it´s full of sorrow, hatred and pain but also of an immense strength, shining bright like the sunlight, able to repel any darkness, inside as well as outside!" the voice stated.

"My soul and past has no day of the open door, so leave them alone!" Neherit stated with extreme hostility.

"Your pain sit´s deep, I can feel it!" the tree spoke.

"I didn´t asked you to sense anything about my feelings, so leave me alone, just do whatever you like but stop annoying me!" Neherit stated with another growl.

"Neherit stop it, okay... geeez Lady Nymphelia, please I beg you, stop speaking about Neherit, tell us instead what you want to do now?" Sarin asked.

"I will try to build up a new forest here, a forest blessed through my power, created with help of this sacred ground, a natural shield against the influence of Miasma!" the voice stated.

"I see that would be nice, Konohagakure no Sato just isn´t the right name for a village not hidden in a forest anymore!" Sarin explained.

"Indeed, you are right, anyways I would like to give you a reward young lady, I could feel your presence and how you fought to defeat the darkness which took a hold of me, and you are quite sympathetic to me as well, I will offer you my power at your need, so form a contract with me if you want to!" Nymphelia voice explained.

"With pleasure, let´s make a contract!" Sarin replied and so a branch reached over to her giving her a fruit.

"In this fruit is a piece of my soul, if you ever need me, just say my name out loud and I will follow your call!" Nymphelia explained.

"Hmmm, I feel a strong spiritual power at your side, a familiar soul!" Nymphelia stated in wonder.

"Do you mean this?" Sarin asked as she took out some strange kind of necklace, it was Black with 9 circular little frames, in one stuck a shiny ruby.

"A Spirit Clock, a mighty instrument to summon various spirits, it´s seems like you have already a contract with a fire-spirit!" Nymphelia stated in wonder.

"It´s a heritage from my late mother, it always had been this way!" Sarin explained.

"I see, you mother must have been a mighty Rei Genban (Spirit Master)!" Nymphelia explained.

"Yes, she was indeed, Himari Uzumaki, daughter of Honoka Uzumaki!" Sarin replied, I heard the sorrow in her voice.

But I also saw Neherit´s soul blinking in the same moment as the name Honoka Uzumaki fell.

"I knew a woman called Honoka Uzumaki, a friendly and kind woman, who loved the nature, if you are her granddaughter, then it will be an honor to me to unite my force with you, so please, accept my fellowship as your gift for delivering me from evil!" Nymphelia´s voice stated.

"I accept!" Sarin stated and a suddenly a bright green light emerged from the fruit in Sarin´s hands and the tree, a tiny light-orb, made out of shiny emerald green light, dived into one of the free spots in the Spirit clock, opposite form the ruby orb.

"The contract has been formed from now on I will be on your side, Sarin Uzumaki!" Nymphelia explained as the brightness flawed off.

"Wonderful can we finally go now!" Neherit´s annoyed voice stated from above Rughian´s back.

"Geez don´t be so hasty okay..., anyways we will see each other later okay, Bye!" Sarin stated winking to us before she flew away on Rughian's back with Neherit, Salia and her father.

"Well guess we all should now finally go home too!" Dad stated.

"Sure thing, still there are some things we have to do before, right Naruto-kun, Bolt and Sarada, you guys, will go towards our villa, this is the most secured place right now, take your friends with them, their parents are still busy in town, Himawari, Shana, Hiro and Katsuo are waiting there with Karin´s family.

Go straight home, no wrong turns got it!" Mom stated and we nodded.

"C´mon guys let´s get out of here!" I stated as we all rushed back home.

"Hey Bolt, do you think that the Chunin exams will still continue?" Sarada asked worried.

"I´m not sure they will but dad fears anyways that they have to perhaps postpone it once again, but who knows, we will see what happens, for now just let us get home safely!" I stated.

"Yeah we better..., by the way, what do you think your parents, my parents and Salia´s father are going to do now, they all departed in the same direction while Killer B, Yugito-san and the Kazekage parted in different ways!?" Sarada asked.

"Oh I have such an Idea what might happen now!" I stated with a smile.

"... I see..., by the way, you wanted to tell me some things which happened one year ago, things I have forgotten as it seems!" She asked me.

"Yeah, let´s first get home, then I will tell you in all private!" I replied.

"Alright, but don´t forget it!" She stated with suspicion.

"Dammit, I hope your next steps will be easier than mine, mom and dad!" I mumbled, as I thought about how to tell her, for her to not hate my guts later.

I looked at the town, which still was hidden behind a large wall of stone, the village not so hidden in the leaves anymore.

Part III / Aftermath Part 1: the Splitting of a Clan, hectic morning.

Part 1: Of relief and hatred.

The next morning, after dark, Bolt´s Pov:

We arrived at the Uzumaki-residence, an hour after midnight, the residence was fully secured, stronger than ever before, everywhere on the street Genins and Chunin were helping the people, a little I felt bad for not be able to help as well.

But Dad said that we better get in security.

And it might be a good idea, if he intends to do what I think he will do right now.

"Onii-san!" I heard, as I saw Himawari running up to us.

"Himawari are you alright?" I asked, as I rushed over to her and embraced her gently.

"I am, Big Brother, how are you?" She asked concerned, checking me off for any injuries.

"Alive and Kicking!" I joked as I ruffled her hair.

"How are Hiro and Shana?" I asked.

"They are over the dam, Karin-san and Sakura-san watched after them, before Sakura-san vanished to help Dad, they should be all healed up in four weeks and ready to take upon missions again, guess we all could need a break anyways!" She replied.

"Indeed, anyways what´s new, has anything worked out with Lady Inari?" I asked.

"Sure thing, after I summoned her I told her all about our situation and she then used her powers to purify the soil under our feet, the darkness fled like shadows before the sunlight!" Himawari explained.

"I see, good to hear!" I replied.

"Anyways let´s get inside!" I said and they all nodded, Sarada was close to my side, snuggling up to me.

I knew that she was holding me in her grasp, to not run away from my promise of telling her anything she had forgotten.

I hope she can forgive me.

"Anyways Bolt, where are mom and dad?" Himawari asked.

"Probably mashing up some Hyuuga-members right now, just as always!" I stated sweat dropping.

Part 2: A Last confrontation.

Meanwhile near the Hyuuga-HQ, Naruto´s Pov:

I was looking down on the familiar sight, the neatly arranged houses the sculptures and the people busy to bring their belongings in security, for they knew what would come.

"Here we go again I guess, I really ask myself how often we have to crash that damn villa before they finally understand to leave our Children in peace!" Konohamaru asked.

"Tonight will be the last night, if they then still won´t cooperate I will throw each and every one of them, who thinks to have to hold up these old-fashioned rules, out of the village!" I replied through grit teethes.

Standing next to us were Hanabi, Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke, the kids were guarded by a large amount of guards and by Karin and her family, they knew what would happen to them, if only one hair lies wrong on our children, so I was certain Jugo and Suigetsu would hold back.

"It was years ago since I last had been here!" Hinata stated.

"Indeed, I maybe only come here for diplomatic talks with befriended Clans from outside, as heiress, but that's all, I too want to have nothing to do with them anymore, they have attacked my nephew and niece one time too much, they can see where they get back a new heiress!" Hanabi stated with fury blazing in her eyes.

"And no one is attacking our children so easily and still gets away with it alive!" Sakura and Sasuke stated equally hostile.

"Well then we indeed agreed all for the same thing, the Hyuuga-clan must leave, as long as they are unwilling to change!" I stated.

"Yeah you are right!" they stated.

Each one of them had two boxes with them.

It was macabre but the best way to make our claim more credible.

"I hope the kids will be alright!" Hinata stated.

"No fear they will!" I reassured her.

I just hope Bolt and the others are getting well along with Akihito, Jugo and Suigetsu, Karin´s son was nice, from what I have seen until now, but you never know.

"Well then, shall we?" I asked them.

"Sure thing!" they replied in unison and so we jumped over to the gate.

"Stop right there, who is it?" The guard gates asked.

"I ask you one time, are you willing to let us through or do you want to take chances?" I asked them.

"It´s the Hokage!" I heard some of them mumbling.

"We…., we don´t want trouble, but we cannot let you through, we got orders!" They stammered.

"Wrong answer guys, I will take me the freedom to blast the gate then!" I stated menacingly, as we knocked them all out with amazing speed and blowing up the gate.

"The security here is truly a joke!" Sasuke stated.

"This has only been the guards of the main gate, the harder-to-beat-ones are coming close to the villas entrance!" I stated as we walked with speedy toes up towards the castle like villa.

Everywhere Clan-members hurried out of our way, taking their Children, pets and other belongings with amazing speed in their houses, closing the windows.

Each and everyone looked at us with suspicious eyes, but none of them were willing to fight or stop us.

"There they are, finish them!" We heard it coming from a side alley.

"I got this!" Konohamaru only stated and used his Katon Jutsu to literally fire them.

"Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh!" Shouts of agony echoed through the streets of the large Quarter.

"Little fishes, is that all Hizamaru has to set against us?" Kono asked annoyed as he re-joined Hanabi´s side.

"Guess he holds the strongest of his men in his villa, but it´s not as if we care to get through it, I just simply destroy the villa!" I stated.

"Wait, Naruto, there still could be innocent people in there!" Hinata stated.

"Alright, alright, I will give them 20 minutes to get out of the villa, after them I begin to invade the Villa and every enemy which gets in our way, gets slain!" I stated.

"That's a deal I would say!" Konohamaru and Hanabi nodded.

The walk towards the villa was relatively calm, the people who encountered us were fleeing with flying colours, running away as soon as they saw us coming.

"Stop you are not allowed to get through this gate!" the Gate guards, 100 men at once, stated as we came closer.

"We do not ask for permission, if you love your life you better get out of our way, unless you want to wake up in hospital!" I threated.

Some had their legs shaking from terror, others were clearly thinking about what I said.

"Listen, we got our orders, we cannot simply let you through!" a brave one, maybe their leader, stated.

"So you insist on stopping us here, am I right?" I asked him with narrowed eyes.

"Well….., guess that's what we are trying to do!" The leader stated, gulping.

"Go home, get to your wife and kids right now and I swear, you will not get punished for your disobedience towards your Hokage, if you stay, you will wake up, either in the hospital or in your grave, you got the choice!" I stated mercilessly.

Some of them pondered, others were already fleeing in the town.

In the end beside of the Leader no one was standing there anymore.

"So, how did you chose?" I asked him.

"I…., I want to live, Hokage-sama!" he said.

"A wise choice, so you better get out of here!" I stated.

"I… I thank you sire!" he stated as he ran away, but he should not get any further, as he suddenly fell on the ground shouting in agony, holding his head.

"Naruto it´s the Juin!" Hanabi shouted as the man only twitched anymore, before laying still.

"There, it´s Grandfather, he used the secret finger sign to activate the Juin!" Hinata stated, her Byakugan activated.

"Hizamaru Hyuuga, come down this instant you little coward, come down and fight like a man!" I shouted up towards him.

"Come and get me if you can!" the same shouted his reply.

"YOU F***ING COWARD!" I yelled up to him.

"C´mon guys its long not over, I will use the Hiraishin to…!"

"No don´t, there are hundreds of his warrior with him in the same room, if you materialize, they will attack you in the blink of an eye!" Hinata and Hanabi both stated as they scanned the villa.

"Guess we then have to battle us level from level, this can last some time!" Sasuke stated.

"Indeed!" Sakura stated annoyed.

"Well if it would already be over, there wouldn´t be any fun anyways, right?" Konohamaru stated with a grim smile.

"There you´re right indeed!" I replied with a perverted satisfaction.

"Alright, the last one on the upper level is a lame duck!" I shouted as I and Konohamaru rushed forward.

"Geez what are you, kids?" We heard Sasuke stating, right behind us.

"Well you don´t seem to be any better though!" We joked.

Part 3: Of revelations and revolutions

And so we crashed through the gates of the villa, and fought us upwards level for level, there were mostly only enemies in the castle like villa, the few neutral persons we met hurried out of the villa, running for their lives.

It lasted approximately 20 minutes until we were at the last level.

"What do you see Hinata!" I asked.

"They are having their entire weapons directed at the wall, i´m sure they can already see us anyways, they are ready to pierce us as soon as we get near them.

"Well then it´s good that you got us guys with you!" Suddenly a voice stated.

"What the, woooaaah, where do you guys come from!" I asked as I saw right in the face of Shino.

I didn´t even recognized him to be there, this guy just was too silent, but I also didn´t saw Hana coming inside.

"I have been here since level 2, Naruto!" Shino stated unforgiving.

"S-sorry about that, anyways what do you mean!" I asked.

"I´m going to send my bugs inside and knock them all out, then you can get inside!" Shino stated.

"We too have a chicken to rip with that Hyuuga-man!" Hana stated, with fury in her eyes, remembering me on Tsume Inuzuka, her mother.

"Well then here I go!" Shino stated as he released his bugs and let them flying through the splits in the door.

"Aaaaaaaaahh, aaaaaaarrrgggghhh!" we heard shouts of pain and agony until it was silent like a grave.

"Hinata?" I asked.

"They have all been slayed but one!" she stated.

"Alright, let´s go!" I stated and so we rushed inside the room.

The sight was gruesome, everywhere was blood flowing and been sprayed on the wall, flesh-pieces and open-ripped human figures were lying on the ground,

Giant bugs were slowly dying on the ground and right in this horror sat no one else but Hizamaru Hyuuga, horrified to no end after witnessing his men to die on such a gruesome way.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here, if it isn´t the Hyuuga elder personally!" I mocked him, looking down on him.

"EEEEWWWWW, he has pissed himself, got is this disgusting, aren´t you supposed to be a grown man, if you have a need to use the toilet then just do it!" Konohamaru stated disgusted.

"Why did you do that, what gives you guys the right to enter my villa forcefully and to kill my guardsmen!" Hizamaru asked enraged.

"We wanted to give you something back, something you have forgotten near the forest of Death!" I stated and I sat my box on a table in the room, the others did the same.

"I think this belongs to you!" I stated.

Hizamaru-san eyed the boxes suspiciously.

"C´mon, what's the matter, open them up…., unless you admit to not be man enough for that!" I mocked him.

"Hrrrmmm, as if!" Hizamaru san stated as he opened one of the Boxes.

"Uaaaaahhh!" he practically jumped backwards on the opposite wall.

"Isn´t that familiar to you, if not, how about this one, or this one…., maybe even this one!" I asked him, opening each of the boxes, showing him the heads of his assassins.

"I hope you have a real good excuse to tell their family why they had to die, out of their squad only one has survived, he sits in the prison by now and he was eager to tell us many things!" I stated with a grim look.

"Hizamaru Hyuuga, you have violated the law, you are hereby charged with having harmed multiples of your fellow clans-men and given a quintuple murder in order, added even more is the extortion and coercion of the first degree on your Clans-men and resistance to authority.

Also you are accused of leading an attack on two members of the Aburame and Inuzuka clan.

In order to prevent an village intern feud between The Aburame, the Inuzuka, the Uchiha, the Uzumaki as well as the Hyuuga Clan, your punishment includes your immediate banishment from Konohagakure towards the Hozuki Castle in Kusagakure.

Each Clan member who supports your ideology is hereby likewise banished from Konohagakure and has to immediately leave!" Sasuke explained.

"You might not have killed Natsu-san and Kou-san personally, but you will suffer for their deaths, same as you suffer for the Children you have hurt in the last 11 years.

As well as the murder on the gate guard, Shoriuza Hyuuga and the assassination order on my Children, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki, as well as the niece of my wife, Salia Sarutobi.

You will rot there, for the rest of your life, that I gladly promise you, I still know how it feels when the Fire-release, Heavenly Prison is burning your body, when you even just try to use Chakra in any way!" I stated with a grim satisfaction.

"Arrest him!" I stated, before I turned around.

"Hahaha, you think this will help you, believe me there are a lot of other people who will come for your Children!" Hizamaru stated as Sasuke and Konohamaru approached him, while Shino´s insects were having a million eyes on him.

"They shall come, and if they do, I will kill each and every single one of them!" I stated, as I was about to leave.

"How can you live with the knowledge that your wife, her sister and her father as well as your Children belong to the Hyuuga Clan, when you are willing to banish the same!"

"You are mistaken something there Hizamaru, Hinata, Hanabi, Hiashi as well as Salia, all of them are no Hyuuga, Hinata is an Uzumaki, Salia and Hanabi are Sarutobi and Hiashi, he is simply Hiashi, not more not less.

After your last demonstration, 11 years ago, of low regard, disloyalty and dishonesty towards your fellow Clan-people and the laws of Konohagakure, they wanted to cut all ties with you, but Hanabi still felt her Duty to help the clan, and mostly the branch-family.

On that they are not to be discriminated and deprived anymore, that's the only reason why she still helped out a bit, but I think I can speak for her when I am saying, that she has done that the longest time.

If even the branch-family now thinks that our children have deserved to suffer, we have cared the longest time about them, am I right?" I asked.

"Damn right, Naruto-nii!" Hanabi and Konohamaru stated.

"Or how do you see that Hiashi?" I asked no one in particular.

"I think you are right there, my son-in-law!" Hiashi, who appeared out of the shadow, stated.

"Hiashi, you are allying with him, how dare you turning on your father, I did everything for you!" Hizamaru stated with a hiss.

"Like what, like telling me that the Byakugan is more important than the life of my own brother, that I shall let my own Daughter fall for the sake of her younger sister, you have brought me nothing but pain Father and I had sworn to not let you doing anything to my grandchildren as well.

Salia might not be my Grand-daughter but Kou-san and Natsu-san had done what I was unable to do, they raised my two girls to fine ladies and mighty warriors, better than I ever did…., I even had to break my promise to Hikari, because of your teachings and laws.

She would have turned herself in the grave if she knew what I have done, that I had let Hinata fallen, that I pretended to not care about her anymore, even though I ordered Kou-san to always have an eye on her.

After the Chunin exams, as he was defeated by Naruto, I asked Neji to help her getting strong enough to survive in the world of Ninja.

I once swore Hizashi to keep an eye on Neji and to keep him safe, but even this I couldn´t do, I am a failure, as father, as Uncle and as Brother, I have no right to call myself a Hyuuga any longer, nor do I even want to.

If it would have gone after you, Hinata and Hanabi would have to have married someone from the Hyuuga clan, maybe even Neji, though I doubt that.

I am glad that Hinata met Naruto and despite our restrictions kept on loving him till they finally married, their children are a blessing, a sheer blessing for the village, and seeing you trying to destroy their life makes me more than disgusted and angry.

Same goes for Hanabi, I am glad that I was able to convince you to let her marry someone from another clan through a lie, someone strong and dependable, similar to Naruto, I found him in Konohamaru, which was like a brother to Naruto, I saw myself and Hizashi in them.

My daughters have grown so much thanks to Kou and Natsu, similar to how Hikari used to be, and the least I could do to repay them two, was to find a worthy home for their daughter, to keep her safe, the way her parents had done to my children.

Salia stands under my protection, I will not allow you, nor the other eldest, to lay a hand on any of my Grandchildren anymore!" Hiashi stated.

"You are really a disgrace for the Hyuuga Clan Hiashi, I thought I had taught you better than that!" Hizamaru stated, before he suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Hanabi by her throat, before jumping away with her.

"Argh, you damn Asshole!" Hanabi shouted.

"One move and she is dead!" Hizamaru stated.

"Even you won´t get her Naruto, I know how to completely seal her chakra away, she will never be able to craft chakra anymore, she will die, she will be useless, more useless than she already is, a heiress who cannot even give birth to a child, who needs something like that?!" Hizamaru stated in hatred, squeezing Hanabi´s throat hurtfully, I was unable to do something, even if I wanted to.

"I do!" Suddenly a voice came from behind Hizamaru, we could see Konohamaru standing there.

"How did you?!" The Hyuuga elder shouted in shock as his hand was gripped and he had to let go of Hanabi, who rushed behind him.

"Naruto-Nii-san was a good sensei, he showed me much!" Konohamaru stated after just having performed the Hiraishin the very first time.

"And now you better let go of her, or else I will personally rip your head off!" he threated the elder.

"Face it Hizamaru, the era of the Hyuuga-clan which has lived separated in two, discriminating and depriving one of them, is over!" I stated.

"It will never be over!" Hizamaru stated as he let go of Hanabi and used Jūkenhō Ichigekishin (Gentle fist: Body Blow) to push them both away.

"You think you are a real Hyuuga, Hiashi, you haven´t even half the knowledge of a real one, I will show you what a real one can do!" He stated, as he used a finger sign.

"Arrrrrrgggghhhhh!" Suddenly Hiashi fell to the ground, holding his head.

"Did you really though the Branch-family was the only one with a seal, everyone who came after us eldest has gotten a seal, the ones a visible and the others an invisible.

This way we still were able to hold everyone in check if necessary.

You are too soft, oh how I wished your brother would have been the oldest…., I wanted to make him the heir, but I couldn´t, my fellow council members told me that only the oldest could become the heir of the main family.

You always has been thinking over things too much, always questioning our traditions.

As I produced this little stage-play to get your brother killed, I expected you to become stronger and more fixed on the traditions, but once again you were too weak!" Hizamaru stated.

"You, it was you that had the elite leader of Kumo kidnapping Hinata?" Hiashi asked, everyone else was silent in shock about this revelation.

"Indeed, I saw the weakness in her eyes, I thought if I can get her in my grasp I can shape her the way I wanted to, but unfortunately you managed to stop the Kumo-nin and kill him.

It was unfortunate, a twist of fate that we then had to kill your Brother in order to not let it come to a war.

It was a real waste of potential, his child was strong but yours, oh how I wanted to get rid of them!" Hiashi stated, the hatred was so strong, and now it dawned to me.

"The attack a month ago, you have triggered that right?" I asked, remembering on how Hinata almost died, if Bolt wouldn´t have been there to turn back the time.

The hatred within me boiled but all I could do was to watch how Hizamaru tortured his own son with the invisible seal, I bet Hinata and Hanabi had one too, I could not risk to let him hurt them as well.

"Even though you saw how useless you oldest daughter has been, you hesitated to let her fall and afterwards your daughter just became even weaker, a sheer waste of time and space, so weak that even her five years younger sister was stronger in the end; until I forced you to make a final decision in this battle, you kept on refusing to listened to me.

You finally let your daughter fall after she lost, which was making you seeing how worthless she was, I thought that I would never have to see her again, that perhaps she would die during a mission, as weak as she was, but different as I had thought that Bitch even began to blossom up, free from your care and control, she became stronger, too strong, and then she even got the force of our ancestor, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, 17 years ago.

She became a real threat to our plans, even more as she began to date this Foxboy, that demon in human form, and you Hiashi with your eternal weakness, you even opened the gate for him, instead of letting one of our candidates marrying your daughter, you allowed the pure blood of us Hyuuga to be defiled with the blood of that worthless half-Uzumaki-breed!" Hizamaru shouted.

"How dare you insulting Naruto!?" Hinata, Hanabi, Sakura and Konohamaru screamed in rage.

"What were you thinking as you held this abomination of grandson in your hands, this demon which has inherited our holy Byakugan, our blood-heritage?" Hizamaru shouted.

"How dare you insult my Children?" Hinata yelled as she attacked but the elder easily threw her backwards, despite her having used Hamura´s chakra.

"You still too weak and you always will be, same as the day as you have been born.

I tell you this was all due to the genes of your weak wife, I told you to marry Hanbari´s daughter, she was strong and fierce and she knew on how to respect the traditions…., but no you had to marry that weakling Hikari Hyuuga, a women of the branch-family!" Hizamaru stated and Hanabi as well as Hinata stopped in shock.

"Mom…, our mother was once from the Branch-family?" Hanabi asked confused.

"Yeah she was, and what has been the result you see here, a weakling who can only become strong through receiving ancient powers from our ancestors and a worthless heiress, who cannot even give birth to a single child, worthless scum everywhere.

But your brother, he had the most talented kid in the history of the Hyuuga-clan, a real prodigy, unfortunately was he a branch-family-member and so never in the position to become the heir.

It´s really a shame Hiashi, it could have been so easily, but through your stubbornness you made things unnecessary complicated, as your wife found out that it was me who triggered the whole case with Kumo and threated to tell you, I had to act!" Hizamaru stated intensifying his jutsu while dodging the attacks of us.

"Arrrggghh…., so it was you…., you killed her, I always…., huargh, I always got the assumption that something was wrong….., she always was so healthy, and then she suddenly died…., from one day to the other….., how dare you!?" Hiashi stated.

"You should have respected our traditions and do as I told, my son, but you thought to have to have your own head, I thought that you at least listen to me when it comes to your daughters.

I wanted to let your oldest daughter marry a strong man from the main-family, so that she at least gives birth to real strong Children, but she had to marry that fox boy and you allowed it, how dare you?!" Hizamaru stated in disgust.

"I…., I gave my promise….!" Hiashi stated, as he stood back up with eyes full of hatred, casted towards his own Father.

"What, what promise, to whom!?"

"I gave my promise…., to Hikari…., to defend my children, always and to let them marry the one, whom their heart was beating for…., I was unable to fulfil the first part of that promise as I had to let Hinata fall and to pull Hanabi through that gruesome training, I never was a good father to them, but I wanted to at least fulfil the last part of my promise.

That´s why I let Hinata loving Naruto, before and after the war, I was well aware that she was watching him secretly, even though I forbid it to her officially, I was glad that she found someone to idolize, someone who inspired her and someone to love, outside the clan.

I witnessed how strong she became thanks to watching, being encouraged and thanks to loving Naruto and I knew I had made the right choice…., at least this time.

It was you who told me to not get involved, nor letting anyone of the family getting involved with Naruto back then, even though I wanted to help him.

You forget that Minato and I, we were best friends back then in our own school-days, together with Teuchi, Choza, Inoichi and Shikaku.

I was glad that at least Shikaku, Choza and even more Teuchi didn´t disliked Naruto.

Minato once made us all promising to care for Naruto if ever something happens to him, same as he promised the same for our children.

I was bound by your laws back then and by the hatred on the Kyuubi, for taking away mother and Inoichi had lost his parents during the Nine-tails attack.

For the two of us, caring over Naruto, knowing the very same beast was stuck within him, made us vomiting, so we gave our best to avoid getting involved with Naruto same as holding our kids away from him, a circumstance which I regret more than anything.

A Circumstance I wanted to change later when he was older, but thanks to you I couldn´t.

Choza was too busy to help the town to being build up again and he cared about wife and son.

In the end, the only one who cared about Naruto´s wellbeing was Teuchi, I thought he would take him in, but he had to care about his own daughter, after his wife died during the attack, as she was out making deliveries.

Different as the rest of us, he held no grudge against Naruto himself, after seeing hatred being directed against him every single day.

He knew his own hatred was directed to the beast, not to the boy it had been sealed into by his very own Father, and that Naruto needed someone he knew he could trust.

That's why he always fed Naruto through and made him telling him all his troubles, Teuchi was the only one of us who truly held on his word to Minato.

This was something I had regret the most, the same way as I had regretted to let my brother being killed years later.

You call my grandson an abomination, but you are the greatest one, for you are a man without a heart!" Hiashi shouted, as he ran up towards his father with a speed I hadn´t believe to see on him, piercing his hand right through is chest.

"Aaaaaarrrrggggghh!" Hizamaru shouted in pain.

"As I said, no heart and I regret to ever have become, even in the slightest, similar to you!" Hiashi stated, as he pulled his hand back, showing the large hole in his father´s chest.

"Even if you kill me, you cannot end it, you will die here!" Hizamaru shouted, as he punched his palm on Hiashi´s forehead.

"This seal slowly sets out each function of your body, killing you slowly and painful!" Hizamaru shouted with last force, smiling an evil grin, before falling over, dying.

Part 4: the dying light, the chance for a new beginning.

"Father!" Hinata shouted as she and Hanabi rushed towards their father as the same fell to his knees, same as Sakura, who tried to heal him.

"My dear daughters, i´m so sorry for always pulling you through such hard times, im sorry for letting you falling Hinata and for causing your body such a harm Hanabi, I would have loved to see your grandchildren.

I had disappointed your mother one time, I didn´t wanted to do it a second time…..., Konohamaru, Naruto, you are strong, kind, careful and courageous, the same way Hikari and Hizashi had been, please take good care of my daughters and your children, build back up your clans, they deserve a second chance!" Hiashi stated to us.

"Can´t you do something against it?" I asked Sakura.

"No at least not here, we need a hospital, his inner organs are about to shut-down…, one after another, I never saw such a jutsu causing something like this!" Sakura replied.

"It must be the Uchigawa shi no jutsu (Jutsu of the inner death) a mighty Fuinjutsu, thought to be forgotten, it was used ages ago in the clan to defeat enemies.

It´s the ultimate form of the Hakke-Taijutsu.

In the body it gives the Tenketsus and the gates of Hachimon, however it also give one spot called the Kagiana (Keyhole), the main Tenketsu which is the Center of the Chakra-pathway and which is located deep within the brain.

Closing this spot, automatically interrupts the whole chakra-flow at once, as well as damaging the brain, that I still live right now is merely a wonder!" Hiashi stated.

"Father…., no…, don´t die I beg you, please don´t!" Hinata and Hanabi cried in endless sorrow

"Naruto…., you said you gave Neji the promise to change the Hyuuga, at first, as you said this in the arena years ago, I didn´t believed you, but after you defeated Pain, Madara and Toneri, I considered it as possible, at least for you, you changed the Hyuuga a bit as you married Hinata and gave birth to my Grandchildren Boruto and Himawari.

Also as I said that Hanabi had to marry Konohamaru…, it was a lie, your grandfather never spoke to me, Konohamaru.

It was your mother, Asuna, she was a teammate of Minato and so we also befriended, we once joked about it as we were young adults, she told me and Hikari, that she hoped that her son becomes strong, strong enough to defend his beloved ones, and I said that if he would show me that he would be able to become so strong, I gladly would give him the hand of you, Hanabi.

It was thought as a joke, but after I saw whom my father had chosen as your future husband, I had to act.

I searched for a candidate as I came across Konohamaru, as he once visited Hinata and Naruto, I kept on watching him, and remembering the joke with Asuna, I told you guys about the arranged marriage, to see how you two would react and what you would do, as expected you made many dates to come closer to each other and over short or long you really fell in love with each other, mainly during that one mission you had together, I had asked Kakashi for giving it to you guys.

I was satisfied, Konohamaru was like a little version of Naruto and I could see that Hanabi enjoyed his company!" Hiashi stated and we were shocked.

"There was no arranged marriage?" Kono asked.

"No never, I rushed the marriage because I knew your Grandfather had his eyes on you for some time, Hanabi, so after you were legally married I broke things to my father, logically was he more than just a bit enraged.

He threw me out of the council, not that I wanted to stay in there anyways.

And then, a year later, I found Salia in that Cabin in the forest, all alone sleeping.

Her parents were nowhere to find but a letter lied there, telling me that they have kept the kid a secret from anyone and that in case they would not survive, a bird should bring me to this Cabin.

They told me that they wished their daughter to raise free from all cruel traditions of the Hyuuga clan, it was of course clear to me that they meant the division of the families and the resulting discrimination and deprivation as well as the cursed Seal.

Knowing what would await her if my father would get her in his grasp, I hid her in my house, but I soon felt uncomfortable, these eyes which looked up to me were unbearable, it was the same look Hinata had as she was young and it remembered me of how much I had messed up as a father.

So I thought that maybe it was the best to give her to a loving family which can better care about her but I couldn´t find anyone, then I remembered how much Hanabi had longed for being able to have a child of her own but being unable to it, due to my own mistake.

I then decided to ask you and you instantly said yes.

I knew that you and Konohamaru, you would keep her safe, this was the best I could do for her.

But my father found out about her survival and tried to give her the seal.

But luckily Konohamaru could save her, I knew after that day, that the only thing I ever made right in my life was to make my wife pregnant with my daughters, trust you boys and to safe Salia's life and if I can save the life of the generation after you, with killing my father, it was worth my death.

I can feel how my body goes limb but I don´t feel any regret of having gone so far to save you all!" Hiashi stated, while we had long teleported towards the lazarette on the market place and the Medics were busy to hold him alive.

"Naruto, Hinata, Hanabi, Konohamaru, I was glad to had the chance to meet you…, before I die, I will give you a secret Naruto…., in the main house, within the temple, under the fifth Tatami mat, second row on the right, is a secret box hidden in which several scrolls are lying, one scroll which has all the secrets of the caged bird seal and how to release a person from it, other than through death and one to summon a medical encyclopaedia, i´m sure there must also be a way to restore your ability to bear Children Hanabi, I wish it for you!" Hiashi stated.

"My brother once died to save me and my Clan, now the time has come for me to do the same, I will die for the sake of my clan.

I have a last wish on you my children, the Hyuuga has no leader anymore, if you are done with the elder council and those who will be banished, so please care about those who are to stay, the clan shall be united, no branch family and no main-family anymore, only the Shin-Hyuuga Ichizoku (New Hyuuga Clan) which has a cooperation with the Uzumaki and the Sarutobi-Clan, similar to the Yamanaka, the Akimichi and the Nara Clan, and at last, release everyone from the seal, no one shall have to die only because he has a seal that erases our Kekkai Genkai in the moment of our death.

If we die then we shall be brought back home, to be buried, our corpses are to never get in enemies hands, but it is not right to use only the members of the branch-family as shinobis, send out on mission where they can die, with the little of jutsus they know of our clan and the main-family as more privileged aristocrats sitting here on their asses, knowing almost all Jutsus the clan can give.

The teachings of our Clan´s Jutsus should be equal to anyone, no one shall to ever have to be discriminated or deprived anymore, if we become ninjas, we all shall become ninjas.

One for all and all for one, that's what your mother has always wished herself, that someday we will live in harmony together as one and this last wish I want to fulfil her, through you, my daughters!" Hiashi stated, as he held his Daughters in his arms.

"My time has soon come….., soon I will meet your mother again, you have become strong and beautiful….., you are my precious treasures so never let anyone tell you the opposite….., your Children are the best what ever happened to you, they are stronger than me and my brother ever could have been!" Hiashi smiled before hissing in pain.

"Uzumaki and Hyuuga…, Sarutobi and Hyuuga…., it´s bound to become interesting…, what will become of this combination!?" he stated weakly before his breath suddenly stopped.

"Father!" Hinata and Hanabi shouted in pain, at the loss of their beloved father.

"It's no use, his heart has stopped and his brain is dead, as he said, it´s a real wonder that he was able to still survive so long!" Sakura stated, after a while of trying various medical ninjutsu to revive Hiashi again.

"He shall get a great burial, worth of a Clan-leader!" I stated with a grim look.

"Arrange anything, I will go back to get these scrolls and release anyone from the seals!" I stated.

"I will come with you, you will need my help, if this jutsu can only be used by a Hyuuga member!" Hinata stated with a grim look.

"Alright, let´s go!" I stated.

"Yeah lets pave the way for the future generation of the Hyuuga-clan, for a life in peace and freedom, free from all social boundaries made by these thickheads of an elder council!" Hinata replied.

"The way Hiashi, your Uncle and your Mother wished for it and the way I had promised it to Neji!" I nodded.

"Bolt, Himawari, Salia, tonight it all will end, from tonight on, you will have no need to fear an attack from the Hyuuga anymore, for to give you the seal!" I thought as I used my Hiraishin to teleport with Hinata back to the Hyuuga main-house.

Aftermath Part 2: Of spirits and demons, Tears might dry, no ordinary Love.

Sarin´s Pov:

I was sitting next to the Bed of Neherit, in the castle on Isla Jura.

After the whole hell we had been put through earlier, it was nice to see at least the one, who deserves it the most, to be able to sleep peacefully.

Well as peacefully as he could at least, he often was trembling and moaning names I never heard before, it seems that whatever it was, although I had a good idea of what, it left him with a traumata, so familiar to me.

My mind meanwhile was restlessly occupied with processing all what happened tonight.

It was somehow so familiar, the whole situation, even though it was slightly different.

"A usually friendly nature-spirit gets turned into a life-force-sucking demon, forced to kill thousands of people and animals, with nothing but a strange dagger stabbed through its natural form, which falls to dust, as soon as it is removed.

No matter how I think about this, it´s just way too familiar!" I thought, as I looked at the spirit Clock, better said at the Ruby, which has been stuck on it ever since that night.

The memory which the last night had unlocked in my mind, as soon as I saw that dagger turning to dust in Neherit´s hands, it reminded me on the last moments of my mother's Life, before she died in the flames.

"Flames brought by a demon, so I always thought at least but now…, I am not so sure about it anymore…, what if this demon, has been too a nature spirit, or better said a Fire-spirit, put under dark control.

Forced against its will to attack and burn down anything required from the one who controls him.

If that's the case, then I have always falsely accused him to be a murderer and a filthy demon with no right to live!" I mumbled.

I thought that to lose the Spirit clock would mean to lose the last remaining item which reminded me on my late mother, but keeping it would also always remember me on what is sealed within it.

The being that annihilated almost the entire Uzumaki Clan in one night.

Ignatis, the Fire Demon, so I once always had called him, but now…., knowing all what happened to Nymphelia after she told me about it…., could it be that he too simply was Ignatis, the Spirit of Fire, who has been controlled by dark forces and forced to attack and kill my mother, my friends and my fellow townspeople.

"Can a sin like this really be so easily forgiven?" I asked myself.

I had all my life long and even after my death being of the assumption, that Ignatis burned my home down out of some kind of perverted satisfaction.

But I instantly befriended Nymphelia, after she was back to her senses, even though she fully annihilated 19 known villages and perhaps far over 3800 people and was shortly before killing all of the people in Konohagakure alongside of Rughian, Neherit and myself.

Could I really look above all these facts and still be her friend?

Could I actually become friends with Ignatis too?

Has he heard all of the words of hatred I told him, did he heard me as I even cursed him with my last breath, as I died on lung cancer, 12 years after that night.

"Would you even speak with me, less help me if I ever would need you?" I asked myself, as I looked at the spirit gear in my hand.

"Depends on the situation!" Suddenly a voice stated.

I looked up only to see Neherit watching me, I blushed by his analytic glance.

"How long are you awake?" I asked.

"A while…., you have been sitting here the whole time, I assume?" He asked.

"Yeah I could not sleep so I thought I might as well watch over your sleep, you shall rest, so if you need anything don´t hesitate to ask me, okay!" I stated.

"Sure… if you insist…., anyways about that clock, it's a mighty Spirit gear, which has been created by my Grandmother, an instrument to bind demons and use their life-force to fuel the one of the Spirits, which are residing within the clock.

An Elemental Spirit is normally a being of light, which elements allows you only to create, if you feed it however with a little dark force, which they get when you seal miasma in the gear, you are also able to use their power to destroy.

A Spirit-tamer is a person which uses the power of the Spirits given to her to defeat demons and to help the humans.

Each Spirit has Characteristic weapons, and not every Spirit looks the same, one element can have a large range of various spirit races.

In the bibliotheca on the second level should be a book called Encyclopaedia of Spirits, in this you will find many informations about all the spirits I have encountered in my life and the ones my Grandmother knows!" Neherit stated.

"So you encountered some spirits during your past?" I asked.

"eh…., ugh, dammit!" Neherit mumbled, as if he beated himself for this commentary.

" Neherit…., I don´t really get it…, I know your past might be incredibly painful for you, believe me I can relate….!" I tried to say but was interrupted by a wild glare.

"No you cannot relate, no one can, how should anyone even be able to relate, to what I had to go through?" he yelled, I tried my best to suck up any comment about his manners towards a women.

"I know, I can't…, but keeping it all to yourselves, letting it hurting you from deep inside isn´t going to help it!" I stated with a warm tone.

"I just don't want to remember…., but no matter how much I try to forget…., I always find myself unable to even ease the pain a little, I long have given up on trying…, instead I just ignore it so long until it becomes unbearable!" He stated as he laid back down.

"I see, but i´m here for you, whenever you need my help, ask me alright?" I stated.

"…sure!" He only replied half-heartily.

"By the way, what did you meant with it depends, as I asked if Ignatis might help me if I ask him?" I asked.

"It depends on how much it affects him of what he was forced to do, if he saw the destruction he caused, while being under control of someone else….., it depends on what he feels afterwards.

If he is shocked, if he´s perversely turned on, or if the grief is so strong that he does not even tries to ask for a forgiveness, which he most likely never gets anyways.

If he is silent the whole time then it most likely is due to the fact, that you hated him with all your heart.

A bound spirit feels how you think about him, always, if you can only feel hatred towards him, he is trying to make his presence as tiny as possible, so that you might someday eventually fully forget about him.

However over short or long this can course a self-denial to the spirit, he might think now that he has no right to live, and even though he knows he is immortal, this thought is almighty, as long as he feels his thoughts being proved right, through your feelings to him.

Maybe if you open up to him, he can get out of this depression and then you can request his assistance, if you make him see that denying his own existence is not going to pay in the slightest for the life he has token, then he will be surely sad, but then you should tell him that he shall help you for the rest of your life with his entire forces, an eternal service for the sin he has committed!" Neherit explained.

"I see!"

"If you want I can show you how to do it, after I have recovered!" Neherit told me.

"Kinda like a little compensation for yelling so often at you!" he said.

"That would be nice thank you!" I stated.

"Anyways i´m okay really, but I would like to be alone for some time!" Neherit stated.

"Oh…., I see…, alright if you need me just knock on my door on the other side of the corridor!" I stated.

"Sure, I will!" He said.

"Alright, good day Neherit!" I stated as I walked towards the door.

"Yeah good day too!" he stated.

I stopped at the door.

"Neherit, no matter what the others are saying, I think you are a real cool guy, and not only for bringing me back to life, but for all you have done for us so far, I want to thank you deeply!" I stated as turned around.

"I see, well thanks for thinking this way!" he only stated as he turned around in bed, but I thought to have seen a blush and the attempt of a smile.

This was enough for me, for now.

"Have a nice sleep, hero!" I stated softly as I closed the door.

"I am nobodies' hero!" I heard him mumbling as he dived back under the cover hiding from the light of the day.

I waked down the corridor to my room, the Castle was so much more than I had seen yesterday and I was tired of the whole night before, I was so worried about Neherit that I totally forgot my own exhaustion, but now I felt it even more.

I was literally hit by a ton of bricks, as I fell on the giant King-size bed.

I was in love, I now definitely knew that it was what I was feeling, I had fallen in love with a man hundred times older than myself, thousand times wiser and a million times more mysterious, I fell for a man I knew absolutely nothing about beside of his name, race and a few of his abilities.

I swore to myself to take on his offer and later get me some books, out of the Castles bibliotheca to read, maybe I will also find something about the Edemah Ruh, and maybe even about Neherit.

"Oh Boy, he´s just so cute somehow!" I mumbled with a blush as I dived into my pillow to muffle my giggling at the thought of him blushing.

"Knock, Knock!" I heard it on the door.

My heart almost stopped, could it be the possibility, did he already needed me…., or did I only imagined someone knocking on my door?

"Sarin are you there, it´s me, Mito-san!" I heard the female voice of my fellow resurrected-comrade, Lady Mito Uzumaki.

"I´m in here, c´mon in!" I stated.

"Ah hello, I just wanted to ask you about Neherit, is he alright, he refuses to let anyone in but I think you had been with him only minutes ago hadn´t you!" She asked me with a minimal hint of jealousy.

"Yeah I watched over his sleep and still wanted to do it, but he gently kicked me out after he woke up!" I stated.

"I see, yeah that's how he is, he just can´t handle women who are worried about him.

I guess that has been so ever since that war!" Mito-san stated.

"You seem to know a little more about Neherit than I expected, how come?" I asked, a little jealous as well.

"I met Neherit as I was Fifteen, that's far over hundred years ago though and still I will never forget this day.

Flashback, 128 years ago, Lady Mito´s Pov:

It was an ordinary day like every day, so I though at least as the sun hit my eyes like a brick to the face, making me half drowsy as I woke up.

"Sis c´mon get up, in two hours they shall come!" I heard Meiko, my little sister, shouting out of joy.

Yeah today was not so ordinary as I thought, for today high visitors have been announced, royals from our Mother Clan, the Mezakan Clan, were visiting my father.

They were here to speak with him about important matters.

"Sure thing, I´m coming no panic!" I stated lamely, it was not as if this would affect me too much, all I had to do was to pretend to be the well taught and strict mannered daughter of the leader of our Clan.

Not that I wasn´t it, but I only put this façade up when we get visit from outside, to be honest I love my independency and I don´t really care about rules and traditions all too much, most of them were dumb anyways, I mean who in their right mind is wearing a hellish warm kimono in the summer, instead of short clothes, I would sweat to death, but I always got forced by Hinako, our head-maid to wear them.

She and I, we were on a constant war foot with each other.

"Mito why are you still in bed, get up already, we have no time to lose, they will come in 2 hours and I still got to do your hair or else this will never get something!" Honoka, mine and Meiko´s best friend shouted from down the first level.

"Geez I got it alright, I will be down in a minute!" I yelled back.

"No yelling in the house, young lady!" Hinako stated, as she passed the door, looked at me with a critical glare, over the edge of her glasses.

"You look awful, young lady!" she only stated.

"Likewise!" I replied with a stuck-out tongue, she sighed and simply trotted off muttering something never heard.

I stretched and finally decided to leave the comfy warmth of my bed called nest.

"Morning guys!" I stated with a yawn as I entered the living room.

"Dammit you look awful Mito, didn´t you looked in the mirror earlier?" Meiko stated as she clutched her head.

"What's wrong with you guys, why does everyone I meet today says I look awful!?" I asked confused.

"There, that's what we mean!" She stated as she used a jutsu to create a mirror made of floating water.

"Oh hell, why hasn´t anyone told me?!" I stated, as I saw the bird-nest, which was supposed to be my hair.

"Well we did!" She only replied.

"Concrete words, no beating around the bush, you have to tell me straightforward what's wrong, if you want me to get what you mean, how often did I told you?" I asked annoyed.

"And how often did I told you to go take a bath when you wake up…., geez seriously I really ask myself how you manage to tangle up your hair this way, while you are only sleeping!" a voice stated behind me.

"Geez Dad stop it!" I stated as I faced him.

The red Hair, falling like a mane around his face, and the quadratic beard made his appearance somewhat more huge than he actually was, he was only a little taller than me and still was he the strongest seal-caster of the village and for the moment the Clan leader.

I was his heir and I knew I still had much to learn for that role but for now all I wanted to do was to enjoy the freedom I still have.

"Anyways I heard that a real prince will come here, Neherit, the prince of the Mezakan-clan am I right?" Honoka asked me excited0.

She was like a gossip-kitchen, she always was up to date.

"Indeed, the Tamashī no Watashimori (Ferryman of souls) also know under the name as Prince Neherit Mezakan from the Jinkan no Senkensha Clan.

He comes here to complete his study about demons, spirits, ghost and the like.

Also do they want to speak about some problems within their Clan, which might also affect the relation to our Clan!" Dad stated.

"I see, and how does he looks like, old, young good or not!" Meiko and Honoka wanted to know.

"I honestly have no clue, I never met him before, only his Grandmother, Lady Chika Mezakan, one of my Ancestor, whose grandson has been the first leader of the Uzumaki Clan, so to say Neherit´s Cousin.

She is supposed to be far over 10.000 years old, far older than Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ancestor of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Rikoudou Sennin, whose youngest son, Ashura, has been the ancestor of the Senju Clan.

Anyways you girls got to be ready by then, it´s not nice to let our guests waiting!" Father stated.

"No fear Lord Ashina, your daughters will be ready I Hinako Uzumaki will make sure of that!" our head-maid stated, as she was appearing almost out of nowhere, right behind our father.

Of course it scared the living shit out of him.

"Good grief Hinako, how often did I told you not to sneak up on me?" Dad stated.

"Lord Ashina, as the head of the Uzumaki-clan should you always be aware, of what is happening behind your back, and he should always be on alert for any possible threats!" Hinako stated pushing up her glasses letting them flashing, which only irritated my father even more.

"I guess you are right!" He finally said sighing.

"Anyways all of you be sure to be ready when they come!" He said before he left the room.

"Geez and now to this horrible mess you call your hair!" Hinako-san stated, as she eyed me with disgust.

"Well thank you dearly!" I stated sarcastically.

It lasted about a good half hour until my hair was straightened again, falling down like a blood-red waterfall.

"I guess this should do it, now to the make up!" Hinako-san stated.

"Do I really have to, it always drips down when I sweat and then my whole face looks like the one of a scarecrow!" I stated.

Young Lady Mito…., a lady does not sweat, so she does not have to worry about her make-up running down, as long as she stays silent and calm as well as composed all the time, there will be no need to sweat!" Hinako-san stated.

"And if it still does happen, I don´t like make-up anyways, it only is bad for the taint and gives me wrinkles at the age of 20!" I stated.

"Well at some people make-up sure might be wasted but still!" Hinako-simply replied.

"Never heard of natural beauty?" I asked her with an angry tone.

"Depends on what the person thinks of as beautiful!"

No way, she doesn't said what I think she did, did she.

"Oh it´s so on now!" I stated in anger.

"Do you old hag honestly think that I will need this face-concrete above my skin to be and feel beautiful, ha, don't make me laugh, I don´t need any of that shit, I am a natural beauty.

I am beautiful without any chemicals!" I stated.

"You call me old hag, i´m only 30 you cheeky little girl, and you honestly think with that face and attitude of yours, you will ever find a respectable partner, I believe not!" Hinako counter-struck.

We were about to use violence, if not Meiko and Honoka would have gone between us.

Honestly, Hinako was the member I liked the least here in Uzushiogakure.

She and her dumb daughter.

"Now, now, enough of the compliments, just do it Mito, nothing will be wrong if you pretty yourself a little up, not much only lightly, I promise!" Honoka stated.

"sigh, alright but only very decent, I don´t want my face to be stuck in its expression!" I stated.

"Sure thing!" Meiko stated and so they started their attack, I had to cough from all the make-up dust.

After a half hour I was done and also finished dressing, all in all I was ready to meet our guest.

"You look great Sister!" Meiko stated while Honoka nodded with a critical glance.

"Indeed a natural beauty but with make-up she looks even cuter!" She said.

"All we need is to finish and wait until we are called!" Meiko stated.

It should last another half hour before they were ready and Dad called.

"Girls the time has come, our guest will soon arrive, we have to go!" Dad called.

"Alright I will see you girls later, don´t steal the prince from me got it!" Honoka stated with a smile before she wonk and rushed back home.

"Alright, let´s go!" Dad stated and so we went to the entrance of the village.

"I hope you know how important this meeting is, I want you to make the best possible impression to them!" our father stated to us.

"No fear dear Otoo-san we will be the best company they ever had!" I assured him with a thumb up, but he only sighed.

"I think they are near!" Meiko stated.

" Huh, well then , show them your best manners and don´t embarrass me, got it!" Dad stated as we saw a few people arriving.

It were two men and an elder woman.

"Wow what for hotties!" Meiko stated, her eyes blazed with affection at the sight.

Before us two men with long Black hair arrived, each of their eyes were red and completely different from a human´s.

There was such a savage glimmer in them, like a predators glance at his prey.

The woman was old but here eyes were having a young and curious shine in them, eyes who have seen much and who were willing to see much more.

"How old do you think he is?" I asked Meiko.

"Don´t know, perhaps our age or a bit older.

"Chika-sama it is an honour for me to meet you again!" Dad stated as the three stood before us.

"The honour is mine, dear Lord Ashina, it has been a long time passed.

"Well I guess for you and your folk it must have rather been only like a few days!" Dad stated.

"Indeed, it almost feels like yesterday as I had been here, as you can see did I brought this time my Grandson and his partner with me.

"Neherit, Rughian, meet the current Leader of the Uzumaki-Clan, Lord Ashina Uzumaki and his two daughters, Mito and Meiko if I remember right!" The Old Lady stated.

"It is an honour for me to meet you, my Name is Neherit Mezakan of the Jinkensha Clan!" he stated his eyes Casted to the ground and his voice was rather monotone.

"Neherit is currently in his apprenticeship to become the next Wild-sage of Spirits, he currently has reached the rank of a High-sage, he is the NiidaimeSeishin no kō Sennin (Second High-sage of Spirits)!" Lady Chika boasted.

"I see, I guess my Daughters can learn much from you!" Father stated with a smile.

"Rather not!" Neherit stated, shocking most of us while his grandmother only face palmed.

"But…!" Dad asked in confusion.

"Let me finish, it´s not that I wouldn´t but it´s impossible, the work and the high art of a High-sage of Spirits is extremely hard, harder than every other apprenticeship, it can likely kill you and you have to give up on things, which many people would not even consider to lose!" He stated and if it was some kind of reflex my eyes wandered down his pants.

"Not physically of course, unless you let it get physical!" Neherit stated, and I asked myself if he might have recognized my scan, nevertheless I blushed.

"Also is it almost impossible for a non Mezakan to become a High sage of Spirits and to still remain sane, and most of the Mezakan Clan have given their lives in trying to learn it.

In the long history of the Jinkensha Clan, have only two beings mastered this gruesome apprenticeship, Me and my Sempai Yashin, although the same has, shortly after fulfilling this task, gone insane, killed many Humans as well as Jinkensha members alike.

Logically has that not been without consequences, the high art has been forbidden to learn and to teach, as you can see am I quite isolated from everyone but my grandmother.

We are only consulted when there are problems which cannot be solved in another way, or when things go downright wrong!" Neherit continued his explanation and it was as if his voice got from second to second sharper as well as a little sorrowful.

" Becoming a Sage of Spirit means to give up being existent to the society, you live in shadow, work in shadow, exist in shadow, always striving for light well knowing that it is denied to you.

No one in their right mind and who still has something to lose, will give everything up for becoming like me.

Still I don´t want neither my grandmother nor you to be disappointed, so I will gladly teach your daughters in Sealing techniques, as far as they can learn at least!" Neherit explained with a monotone voice, an a minimal hint of sorrow and loneliness.

"I would like to take you on that offer!" Dad stated sweat-dropping.

"Why don´t you come to my house we can have a tea or something?!" Dad asked.

"That would be the best, I guess the heat does not suit some of us!" She stated with a glare at Neherits, who simply ignored it.

He looked straightforward, which means, right at where I was standing, I blushed a bit, but quickly recognized that it was not me he was looking at but something different.

His eyes were fixated to a point a little above my right shoulder.

"What is he doing, do you think he has the hots for you?" Meiko asked in utter disappointment.

"No I think he seems to see something, something we can´t see!" I replied.

"You mean a ghost, dad told me that the Sages of Spirits are mighty shamans, Itakos and mediums able to see as well as interact with ghost as well as demons and Nature spirits!" Meiko stated.

"Maybe!" I replied.

Neherit walked over to us as his grandmother and father set in motion.

"I´m Mito Uzumaki, oldest daughter of Lord Ashina Uzumaki, I look forward to my first lesson!" I stated.

"I am Meiko Uzumaki, youngest daughter of Lord Ashina Uzumaki, I too look forward to my first lesson!" Meiko copied me.

"Neherit Mezakan, Oldest Child of tribe leader Nasrith Mezakan, at your service!" Neherit stated as he bowed before us.

We both Blushed and giggled, we never had such a sexy Teacher.

The days afterwards were filled with massive hard work and lots of things to comprehend and learn by heart.

The more Neherit taught us, the more our affection grew.

Still, we knew near to nothing about our Teacher, who was from the appearance not older than us.

"Neherit-Sensei, can you tell us how old you are?" Honoka asked one day.

"A little over 1500!" he only stated, while he wrote on the tablet before him.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked him.

"I don´t think this has anything to do with the lesson, am I right?" He only replied coldly, I sensed his anger rising but the other two simply kept on asking him questions.

"Girls stop it, you see that he does not want to answer questions!" I stated trying to reason them but it was no use.

"Alright, I have one last question though, you stated a few days earlier as you arrived in town, that you are the Oldest Child of Nasrith Mezakan, so does that means that you have siblings, perhaps a brother…., or maybe a Sister?" Honoka asked.

"ENOUGH!" Neherit yelled, his patience crumbling completely to dust, we all were fully awake and terrified by this outburst.

"Questions, questions, everybody only asks me questions, can´t you simply shut your mouth and listen to what I am trying to teach you, I have enough of this crap, go get yourself another teacher!" Neherit yelled as he left the room in a swift motion, faster than I ever have seen someone vanishing.

"Oh shit I think we made him mad!" Meiko only stated while I glared at her.

"You just had to ask, didn´t you?!" I stated while shaking my head.

The rest of the day no one of us saw a glimpse of Neherit, not even his grandmother.

"I tell it to you girls for the future, Neherit hates nothing more than to be questioned about his Past…., it gave certain events in his lives which made him want to forget all about his own past self.

Things you wouldn´t even wish your greatest enemy, so I beg you, please, do not dig further in old graves, he wants to bear alone with his inner demons!" Grandmother Chika stated.

Neherit didn´t appeared for the remaining 2 days of his stay, also did no one even saw a glimpse of him, as if he was avoiding any contact.

"I am worried about him, what if he´s stuck in problems!" I mumbled to myself.

It was the last day of Neherit's stay and I was wandering through the town in thought.

"No one has seen him, so also no one knows where to search for!" I stated as I sat down on a bench.

"What can I do…., what….?" I thought to myself.

"I know, maybe Honoka can sense him!" I stated as I rushed to her house in ten minutes flat.

"Honoka, I need your help!" I stated, as I spotted her and with a sharp brake stopped right before her.

"Sure, what´s the matter!" she asked me.

"You have to find Neherit for me, with your Kagura Shingan (Mind´s Eye of the Kagura)!" I stated.

"Alright, I will try it, but it´s not that strong though, I can only feel chakra presences for 5 miles and not further!" She warned me as she used her jutsu.

It was really practical in sensing enemies, if they come near the town.

Honoka has inherited it by her Mother before the same died alongside her father, a good friend of my father, after that Father adopted her and so she lived with us, still she had not the same rights as Meiko and I, as born daughters, a law which not even my Father could ignore.

I always felt bad when we have to exclude her from such traditional things, for me she has always been family, since the moment I met her the very first time.

She was shy and fearfully, but that made her so much cuter.

She was well loved by the boys, but she was so afraid of them that she always hid behind us, at least before 5 years, in these last years she got braver, as we, means Meiko, Honoka and I, absolved missions for the town as a team, only small missions and also mostly with a whole brigade of males from the guard corps.

"Hmm he isn´t in direct surrounding of the town but I feel a strong force in the west by the Spiral-waterfalls!" Honoka stated.

"Alright, thank you very much Honoka!" I stated as I ran off to the direction she had told me.

It lasted around an hour before I arrived at the waterfalls.

"Neherit, Neherit where are you!" I shouted, trying to get an answer, but I got none.

"Geez where the hell is he!" I yelled in frustration

"ROOOOAAAARRRR!" I heard a massive noise shaking the ground.

"Easy, boy, Easy!" I heard a male voice, it was Neherit´s that I was sure of.

It came from a den behind the waterfall, so I climbed up the slippery Rocks, to get to him.

As I stood before the den, I had such a bad feeling all of a sudden.

"Get a hold of yourself Mito, you are an Uzumaki and ther daughter of the Towns Leader!" I scolded myself for my cowardice and so I strutted in the den.

It lasted some minutes until I arrived at an abyss, under me was a large free place, illuminated by crystals, a strange light coming from the ground and the fire of a dragon-like lizard with Blazing eyes.

"What the!" I stated as I spotted Neherit who stood right before the Lizard, hand outstretched and reciting some mantra.

I was sure that this was a Taming ritual, I never saw something like this before.

The lizard was anything but amused, he stood on a strange ritual circle drawn with chalk which was illuminated by that strange greenish glow, I never saw something like this one though, it was huge and it seemed to enclose the dragon.

"What is this?" I stated, as I crawled closer to the abyss.

"Wait uaah!" I almost fell down as the rock I stood on broke, but luckily I could grab a nearby rock for support.

I thought I had woke Neherit out of his trance but he simply continued to recite.

"Phew that was close!" I stated, as I tried to pull me back up.

"Huh, oh no!" I stated, as I recognized that my perfume bottle fell out of my pocket and sailed downwards to the ritual circle.

And as if my fortune was on a vacation it broke and cause the chalk to smudge.

"ROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!" The Lizard roared as the glow of the chalk disappeared.

"Neherit watch out!" I yelled as the Lizard slammed his Tail right into him.

The whole den shook and the stalactite rained from the ceiling, one was aiming to pierce right through me so I had to let go.

I sailed down to the ground and slammed with a massive pain to the ground, I rolled around seconds before the sharp rock could kill me.

The lizard was fully out of its mind an attacked everything with its massively spiked tail.

"Oh shit!" I shouted, as I dodged one of the swipes.

The beast fixated me as I shouted and ran up to me to eat me whole and alive.

"Dammit!" I stated, as I tried to use one of the tamer Jutsus which Neherit has taught us.

It worked, I crafted black chains around his body, but they shattered almost a second ago.

"No way!" I shouted in horror, the spiked tail came dangerously closer and all I did was paling and paralyzing.

"Watch out!" I heard Neherits voice, as I was dragged to the ground, dodging the spikes by a hairs breed.

"Aaaaah!" I heard Neherit yelling, I heard clothes ripping and I saw blood flowing.

"Neh-…, Neh-…., NEHERIT!" I yelled in horror at what I witnessed, the spikes were pierced right through his body and he still was alive, that was quite impressive and disturbing at the same time.

"Hey are you alright, if you are, then get the hell out of here!" He shouted.

"But you are wounded?" I shouted.

"It does not matter, urrrrgggghhh!" He hissed in pain as the lizard bulled his tail back and the spikes out of Neherits body.

"We got to get you out of here!" He mumbled as he tried to flee.

"Roooaaaarrr!" the Lizard shouted.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhrrrrrgggghhh!" neherit shouted as the reptile bit in near his back.

It did not even touched Neherit but it seemed that he suffered hellish pain, just as if there was something I just could not see.

"what the!" Suddenly, something seemed to fall off of Neherit, some kind of glimmer, as if my eyes had finally been able to see the reality.

I saw wings, black supposedly large wings on Neherit´s back in which the theetes of the lizzard were stuck, the same tried to rip them out of Neherit´s body.

"Goooddammit!" he yelled in pain.

"Hey you monster, stop that!" I shouted as I threw rock at him.

"You dumb goat, get the fuck out of here!" Neherit yelled but it was too late, the lizard let go of him and instead aimed for me.

"Aaaaah!" I shouted, as the tail came from the side, faster than I could react, it slammed me right in a nearby large rock.

"Aaaaahhhh!" I shouted, in pain as I tried to stand up, it felt like every single bone was broken.

"Shit we got to get out of here!" Neherit shouted.

"Mito, what´s going on!" We heard it coming from the ledge near the entrance.

"Meiko don´t come near!" I yelled weakly as I spotted my sister with Honoka, but it was too late.

The lizard had already spotted them both and with a quick swipe destroyed the ledge, both of them fell down and were struck dead by the falling rocks.

"Nooooooooooo!" I yelled as I came back on my feet and stumbled over to them.

"Mito no!" I heard a yell but it was too late, the Lizard had already, pierced it´s spiky tail through me.

"Huarrrgggh!" I coughed blood and I felt how every single bit of force was leaving my body.

"Dammit!" I heard Neherit shouting.

I fell to the ground, as the spikes were being ripped out of me again.

The last that I saw was how Neherit transformed in a giant beast and choked the lizard to death.

In the next second he was back to his usual self.

"Mito, Mito listen to me, don´t fall asleep, you will not die here, I won´t allow this, you and the others, it´s too early!" he stated and I suddenly felt his lips on mine, I felt myself heating up and I thought that this must be love.

Flashback end, Sarin´s Pov:

"And what happened then?" I asked Mito-san, who meanwhile had sat down next to me on the bed.

"I woke up in the hospital, same as Meiko and Honoka, they all lived.

The nurses told me that Neherit had brought us all three to them, we were unconscious but otherwise unharmed, it has lasted a month before I woke up again same as my sister and Honoka.

I could not explain it to me, I knew I was near death but it were not even scars to see from where the spikes pierced through me.

At the question of where Neherit was, the nurses only replied that he has vanished shortly after that day together with his Grandmother, the way they said it, so full of hatred and misstrust, was suspicious.

As I was released, I had to learn that most of the town belived that Neherit has raped me and the others.

That he should have been so evil that he even brought us to the hospital afterwards having laughed about our fate.

I knew this was impossible and total bullshit, for I still could clearly remember what happened, so I told them.

But they only pitied me telling me that I probably was set in a Genjutsu by him to believe all this!" Lady Mito stated and her glance went full of sorrow.

"I wanted certainty so me and the others travelled towards the den, only to find the half eaten skeleton of the giant lizard.

We swore to never forget it.

As I came home that day, a package was waiting for each of us.

In mine were tags with kanji written on them, one on which stood `Find luck through true love´ and one on which stood `Find security and power through righteous justice´.

I should get to know that the tags were really strong as I found Hashirama, a few years later, and managed to seal the Kyuubi within me, gaining power for Konohagakure and my Husband, I could always tell when someone was having strong negative feelings and was able to feel when danger came to us.

Also I suddenly could see ghosts and other strange beings, things I could not see before.

Meiko inherited a strong force which was really incredible and I could only barely top it with my Byakugō which I developed years later.

Honoka meanwhile became the spirit-clock which is now in your property as I have heard, it´s a mighty instrument to seal spirits or demons making them to servant-spirits.

Father never believed that we were raped, he stated that Neherit had told him anything about his try to tame the lizard and also had shown him its cadaver.

He also told him, that my perfume disturbed the seal-casting in its last second and so triggered the whole misfortune.

I was massively scolded by father, of course.

Useless to say, that I felt bad and I wanted to apologize but I never got to see Neherit again until a month ago!" She stated, I see

"I was glad to see him again but he seemed to be as distant as ever, also was I a grown women and already had a child, I had no right to fall in love with him again.

You seem to have fallen for him, so I wanted you to know a bit about him.

He never lets someone down but he is not much sociable, thanks to whatever happened in his past.

"But I swear, if you really love him, stay behind it, don´t give up too fast.

Maybe it will be you who can open up his heart and teaches him how to love again!" Mito stated with a smile, before she stood up.

"Anyways I got to go, there are some people who I need to meet, sleep now, you deserved it!" Mito-san stated before she turned around and left the room.

"Well that was informative!" I only stated.

"But at least I now know Neherit a little better.

At least for that I am thankful!" I whispered as I wrapped myself deep under the blanket after lying down with a cute blush on my face, thinking of Boys and love and one boy in particular, obliviously of what more dangers are to await us.

Part IV/ Bonus stories Part 1:- A mission for two: side Team Uchimaki.

Part 3, Over the hills and far away.

Bolt´s Pov:

It has been a long way, but finally we have arrived, Fiero village, although it was more a little town than a village, lying opposite to a mighty volcano, which reaches high into the sky.

"Bet you will have a marvellous view from up there!" I stated, looking over to the volcano, Mount Everfire.

We made a break from traveling at a nearby hill, which overlooks the entire so called Valley of Ashes.

"Indeed it's the biggest mountain I ever have seen before, alone it´s largeness is incredible, it´s almost fearsome to know that this giant thing is actually an active Volcano!" Sarada, who sat next to me, stated while taking a sip of her soda.

"What do we know about this location?" She asked me curious.

"According to the letter Dad gave me 2 days ago, Fiero Village is a town of Blacksmiths, engineers and Metal artists.

Due to the ideal location, sandwiched between a mountain and a volcano and the so gained lava-stones and minerals, they are able to craft you almost anything out of metal.

According to history, the ancient folk had become nomads after their old kingdom went down in a war, the survivors of this hell travelled and searched for a long time, for a place to settle down, until the whole firebird case, as dad calls it, occurred!" I told her.

"So the people who lost anything became a second chance?!" Sarada asked further.

"In a way yes, it is said that Fiero, to get some money, created agricultural material, normal stuff you use in a garden, but at some point in history they had been attacked once by bandits, who were said to have also attacked the villages around.

Fiero managed to defeat them, thanks to a few survivors of a nearby village which came for refugee and warned them.

Due to the fact that most of the villagers were retired knight, they knew how to fight, through using their working materials as weapons, this way Fiero village was able to defeat the bandits without losing one men.

The day afterwards, the major ordered his Smiths to create material for the building of houses, with which they, as a sign of good will, were travelling to the destroyed villages to help the remaining villagers to rebuild their villages, this way the whole valley was united.

Today Fiero village is the Center of the Valleys wealth, religion and government!" I told her.

"I see, so they have another religion, guess we better study that before we enter the village!" Sarada mused.

"Not necessarily, their religion is quite similar to our Hi no Ishi (the Will of fire).

Each member is sworn to the village, cares for its people, protects the village and works for the entire village, in return the village gives security, help in need, wealth and kindness.

One for all and all for one, so to say!" I explained.

"Good to know, well in the end we are only here for a job, not to settle down!" Sarada chuckled.

"Aww, I though you would like to live here with me!" I joked, making her blushing and turning around with a huff.

"Baka!" she only stated.

"Oh c´mon don´t go Tsundere on me!" I chuckled, as I caressed her hair.

"Bolt stop it, we got to go!" She stated weakly, almost trembling in bliss…., just like a cat.

"Well we do arrived here way earlier than from dad planned , even with that accident 2 days ago, and the other two accidents!" I stated, remembering on how we lost Lady Katsuyu on an Hawk which made us running after it, for about 15 miles backwards.

After we got her back it was late evening, so we set up our camp at a lake.

During our search for firewood, some Kids, from a village down in the valley, caught Gamatech, as he was swimming in the lake and toadnapped him.

As we recognized his absence, lady Katsuyu told us all about the toadnapping , we travelled through the valley towards the village, since I could not easily summon him here, not that I didn't tried it, mind you.

We luckily got him back, as the mother of the Kids just was about to chase him out of the house, with hue and cry.

Still we lost an entire day through that.

Meanwhile it´s the afternoon of the third day since our travel.

During a little rest in the village, we stocked up our food rations and bought another backpack for Sarada´s things, as well as some new clothes for her.

It was really unfortunate that her own Backpack had been blown up, but luckily she still had all of her important belongings.

We then returned to our travel at break of dawn, getting the right direction of the location through the daughter of the Hotel runner at which we settle for the night before.

"So down there lies Fiero village, seems to be really big, too big for a simple village!" Gamatech, who had slept in my backpack, stated.

"Sure but Konoha also is called `the village Hidden under the leaves´, although it´s a big two-levelled town.

In the last 20 years the world has changed much, not only in our town, but almost everywhere.

Handy, Pcs, email and sms, internet, all those things are so used that no one can live without it today, almost everything is digital nowadays.

There are rarely some people, mostly only the elders of the traditional clans, who still use scrolls and hawks for sending letters from A to B.

We have been born into that generation, but those who never had such things before, were quite confused, but nowadays, even the people of the old clans are often seen using Digital media, to accomplish their Clan-intern duties.

"Also do many people think that Shinobi are overrated and needless anymore, the youngsters all want to become Bankers, jewellers and politicians, jobs to get fast money without risking anything but a burnout-syndrome every now and then.

Seriously, I ask myself what will become of the noble tradition of the Shinobi.

In my eyes the age we are living is a curse, as it is a blessing!" I stated.

"I know what you mean, I often see the Uptown people looking at us Ninjas as if we have the pest, as if we are something less than them.

The people just begin to lose the respect before the hard, traditional and noble work of a Shinobi.

I admit, I also asked myself what a shinobi actually is, at least as we had the graduation test back in the Academy.

I mean suddenly from one day to another we become Genin, ready to take on missions which likely could get us killed instantly if they go downright wrong, since even an easy looking mission can get dangerous, when life-treating elements are involved.

I asked myself if a Ninja is a mere tool of war, a human only trained to kill.

But whenever I see your father, I cannot believe this claim in the slightest, I know, very few people, mostly the old shinobi, still know what it means to be Hokage, all the others think that a Hokage is only like the boss of a big company.

A man who sits on his ass all day long, doing nothing but eating sweets or whatsoever and yelling at his subordinates!" Sarada stated and I blushed…, for this sounded way too familiar to me.

"That a Hokage is the strongest Ninja, the one who trained the hardest, has learned the most and bears the most golden heart of all, very few people still believe!" Sarada replied.

"I know what you mean!" I stated beaten, I knew she obviously spoke about myself, since she knew that I had always complained about my father being Hokage.

"I always accused my father of being unable to hold his promises and being in love with his paperwork, I always though he never had time for me, and even if that might have been the truth, did he do anything to defend the people of the town against any possible threat.

After he took me one day with him, to a normal working day for him, without anyone threating the town, I had to say that I might not would be able to take that stress for even one day less a whole year.

After long thinking about the just experienced , I had finally, 1 year ago, stopped to see my father as a nuisance and just sucked it up that he was always busy and occupied, that he was the one who just had to do it, because he could.

I began to understand, that to be Hokage means also to be the one, under which secure hands the village can sleep peacefully!" I explained.

"That's for sure…., geez your dad is just so cool…, I wish my dad was like yours!" Sarada stated with a sigh.

"There are not even enough wishes in a Djinn-bottle, to fulfil that one, though!" I stated knowingly.

"No matter how we want it, that guy might only change when he is forced by someone stronger than him, which is mostly your mother or my father, no one else ever managed to make him doing anything, which was against his will.

"I ask myself when he will finally allow me to date someone, he´s like some annoying Hawk, who circles over the town, he always seems to know where I am, and what I do!" Sarada stated.

"I though saw an Hawk circling over the town, next to the usual one for the Chunin exams!" I stated bluntly.

I already found it suspicious and once asked my dad about it, he just told me to not think too much about it, that it was nothing he could not handle.

"No fucking way, that bastard, i´m going to kill him if we are back!" Sarada stated with blazing fury in her eyes.

"Anyways you guys better get going if you want to arrive in town before nightfall!" Gamatech stated.

"Guess he´s right, well if you're ready…, shall we?" I asked.

"Sure, let´s go!" Sarada stated, as she grabbed her Backpack and shouldered it.

"Well then, here we go, over the hills and far away!" I stated whistling a tune as we ran forward, I thought to have heard her chuckling, and blushed.

I was excited…., however I also was worried a bit, I still didn´t told Sarada about that dream, nor about the dream I had yesterday night.

The voice of Fushichō once again requested me to help him and his mother.

I don´t know in which way all what the voice told me is reality, but if it is, we might walk right into a big conspiracy.

I also wanted to know what he meant, whenever he calls me the Chosen of Fire.

"You are in a real good mood Bolt, how come?" Sarada asked me.

"Well something good happened this morning, I stated remberin git all too well.

"…..Baka….!" sarada only stated and trned around trotting away.

"Dude if you love her just tell her!" Gamatech stated.

"All to the right time and place body, right now it´s still too early!" I stated.

"Don't wait too long though someone might steal her away from you!" Gamatech replied.

"I will know how to prevent that, Sarada is mine and I won´t let anyone get her!" I stated with determination and a raised fist.

"Dude…., you sound like a psycho!" Gamatech stated with a fearful expression, as he jumped off behind Sarada.

"Oh c´mon Gamatech!" I stated as I ran after them, of another adventure still oblivious off what awaits us there.

A/N: hello people sorry for the long wait, something have happened at home which prevented me from writing, still here I am, back again with a new chapter, read review and recommend, you know how it rolls, and don´t forget my Poll, until then.

Arigatou and Sayonara, your Storyteller and his Books.
