Chapter 13: The darkest past, my Scar-heart, what once was separate will be a whole.

Part I: Dreams which were to never end and the lost ones endlessly remembered.

Part 1: Background Story 1/ The fire that ends it all, Skull-mark.

Sarin´s Pov:

It knocked on the door, shortly before I was about to fall asleep.

"But this got to be him, finally!" I muttered, as I stood up and walked over to the door, opening it in anticipation, only to be disappointed again.

It was not Neherit which stod before the door, but Salia Hyuuga, waiting for the answers on all her questions.

"Hey there!" I stated with a pressed voice.

"Did you awaited someone?" She asked.

"Uhm no!" I replied.

"You are lying!" She simply stated.

"Well it´s none of your business, if I wait for someone or not!" I stated.

"So you did waited on someone, who is it, Neherit, Rughian, Yota?" Salia stated with a smirk.

"Geez okay, okay, I waited for Neherit to come, I told him he always can come to me, if he has a problem he wants to speak about.

Well satisfied now?" I asked enraged over her persistence, as I walked back in my room.

She walked in and closed the door.

"Sooo..., about earlier..., is it true, are you a resurrected?" She asked the main question.

"Yes it´s true, i´m a resurrected!" I stated and she sat herself.

She didn´t spoke for a while taking everything in.

"I-I see..., and..., h-how did it happen?" She asked.

"I died at the age of 16 thanks to lung cancer, that's now 23 years ago, 4 years before the Hokage has been born and Uzushiogakure was burnt down..., I guess I better tell you, for to know how I died you have to know how I lived!" I stated, as I laid back to the bed while she dragged the chair closer to it.

I felt a little, as when I would be soon interrogated by the Psychiatrist.

"So..., here we go..., I was born in Uzushiogakure during Lord Ashina´s reign.

I was the daughter of Himari Uzumaki, the daughter of Honoka Uzumaki, a strong seal caster of our village and best friend of Lady Mito and her sister.

But I also was the daughter of my Father, Shigure Uzumaki, son of Kumi Uzumaki, grandson of Lady Mito.

I had two Aunts, Kushina-san and Umi-san, though I always only saw them during family meetings for they lived in Konohagakure.

While Umi-san was more reversed was Kushina-san more outspoken and lively same as me, she was my beloved aunty, my most favorite.

To that time I didn´t knew what for a beast she had in herself, to me she was only always a beloved family member.

I was living a happy life, even though my father was one of Lord Ashina´s best soldiers and therefore had often to go away from home, to help other villages out, same as mom.

During these days I was left in the custody of Kana-san, Karin-san´s mother.

Kana-san was the head maid back in our home, from her I leaned much about the outer world, while my parents taught me much about our clan and its secret seal-caster techniques.

At the age of 4 years, I was able to summon a little shikigami, a helping nature-spirit.

At that night, It was the day of my birthday and dad was to come back home.

We wanted to throw a big Party about my success, dad´s return and my Birthday.

But it should never come to it.

It was early evening as suddenly a strange shine from out of the window caught my mother's eyes, walking into the garden, she heard the bells which announced an attack.

She grabbed me by my hand and left our home together with Kana-san and as much as maids and employees she could.

Over our heads a mighty dragon roared.

My mother didn´t trusted her eyes, she mumbled that the dragons had been extinct ever since the Dragon-war so long ago.

We ran through the streets of the village, always hiding, sometimes it seemed as if it had spotted us, other times we could hide for a while.

But then suddenly it happened, the Dragon landed right before us, having detected my Mothers strong forces.

Ordering Kana-san to grab me and get me out of here, Mama, giving me a last kiss, engaged in the battle with the dragon.

However in a single attack, he killed beside of Kana, Mom and me all the other employees.

My mother tried her best to keep him in check, before suddenly Lord Ashina and his men arrived.

They engaged in the battle as well, wounding the dragon so much that he once again raised in the air and burned another part of the village down.

My mother had enough time to recover and so we continued to flee, always away from the dragon..., I still remember as if it has happened only yesterday!"

Flashback, 35 years ago:

"C´mon Sarin-sama, we got to hurry!" Kana-san stated as we ran through the streets, away from the flames which raged everywhere.

"How is it possible, there should be no Dragons existing anymore?!" Mom stated as she helped up a little girl which had fallen to the ground and gave her over to her mother.

The people which were fleeing, all ended up in our company.

"I hope Lord Ashina and the others are alright, against a dragon even they got it hard to fight!" Kana-san stated.

"I´m sure they will, his men are strong so is he, they won´t go down so easily.

But where the hell that dragon did came from, from the first place?

It is obviously a Fire-dragon, but I fell a massive dark energy on him, which is not his own!" Mom mumbled.

"Rooooaaaarrrrr!"Suddenly the shadow of the dragon flew over us and a massive burst of fire hit the ground we had been standing a second before.

"Aaaaaaaahhh..., Help me..., noooo!" So many shouts have been raised, cries in agony and suffering.

Most of the people which fled with us, died in the flames, some tried to rescue their beloved but only caught fire themselves.

Mom hid my face in her embrace to shield me from the view, but unfortunately did I got the Bat-sense as they called it, I could visualize anything around me, by simply hearing things, even when my eyes were closed.

And this ability proved to be a curse right now, I didn´t wanted to see them but I was powerless against it.

"Dammit, we have to save them!" Mom stated as she used her Water forces.

"It´s no use Lady Himari, the dragon´s fire is so hot, normal water jutsus are vaporizing before even reaching the flame!" Kana-san stated.

"Still we have to try, no matter what, Sarin, I know you are scared but you have to pull yourself together, these people need our help, so use Water Jutsus, use the help of your Water spirit!" Mom commanded me and I did as told.

I used my water jutsus, enforced through the Water shikigami I summoned, though they were not strong enough at all.

They all vaporized before even being casted, it was either the fire, the lack of my skills, or my sheer terror of being useless and scared to death.

"I can't the air is too dry, my force is not enough!" I shouted in helplessness.

I had to see how this girl, which my mom had saved earlier, died right before my eyes, burning to ashes, while reaching out for me to help.

If only I had the strenght and courage to reach into the fire and pull her out, she might could still live.

But all I did was sitting there, fallen on my Butt, paralyzed with fear.

The glance of this girl was full of pain, suffering and sorrow, as well as, for a small moment, full of hostility against me.

Before being erased forever in the flames, but those few split-seconds showed me what I had done, I just let this girl dying, without really trying to save her.

"There is nothing we can do here, we better hurry if we can make it out of town and to the lakes, we should be fairly safe also we have then more water to cast Suiton-based flood jutsus!" mom stated, and so we continued our flight.

The flames were reaching out for us, so it seemed, and they drove us even farther back into the village´s center, the more we tried to escape from them.

"Kana!" We heard it from behind us.

"Sosuke, Karin!" Kana-san shouted and tears welled up in her eyes, she let go of my hand and ran towards her daughter and Father.

"Aaaaaah!" She yelled as suddenly a waltz of fire appeared and threatened to burn her to dust and ashes, right before the eyes of her Husband and Daughter.

If not mom bravely rushed in and had defending them with Adamantine chakra-chains, she definitely would have not survived it.

"Watch out Kana, you got to be careful out here!" Mom stated after the fire waltz was over and the dragon disappeared to another part of the village again.

"It doesn´t seems as if Lord Ashina managed to beat him yet!" She said.

"Guess I have to take things in my own way!" Mom stated with a hard Glance.

"Sarin come here to me!" she demanded.

"Mommy what are you...?" I asked with teary eyes, I read it in her expression this might be the last goodbye.

"Sarin listen to me, I know you are scared and I know you might suffer if I die, don´t think I will not, but if we will be able to defeat this dragon then you have to let me go.

An Uzumaki can never live just for himself, but for evryone. The Family is the Whole clan and nothing lesser.

Too many have died tonight, I have to stop the murdering.

Sarin, I want you to go with Kana and find your father, get out of here and survive, you are mine and your grandmother´s Legacy, I know you will become strong, so all I can do is to give you this.

The spirit Clock, it has been given from a Nice men Called Neherit to my Grandmother, I met him only once before I met your Father, and he was nice and strong and helped me out much...!

Still I never could repay him, so if you ever get the pleasure to meet him, please help him for me, would you do this for me?" Mom asked and I nodded eyes hidden in the palms of my hands, crying bitter tears.

"Sarin, I know I might not come back again, but you got to stay strong no matter what, your father will need you and viseversa, never forget, Being an Uzumaki means to help others, to make the live for everyone better, so as we had been taught it by our ancestors.

In us flows the blood of one of the oldest Races, even more in ours, yours and mine. That time as Neherit met your grandmother, he gave her forces beyond blieve and these forces have first been reached to me and then to you, I hope that someday you can overreach them to your child, so even if I cannot see it anymore, live for me, for your father, for the future.

Take the spirit clock, it contains a part of my soul in it, so no matter what, I will always be with you, as long as you treasure it!" Mom stated as she gave me the big Black medallion.

"I will take good care of it mommy, just please promise me..., come back to me!" I said to her.

"I can´t promise you this...!" She said and I was shocked.

"...But I can promise to you to always watch over you, even if I die tonight!" Mom stated.

"Now go, get out of here, and find your father, tell him that I love him and that I will never forget the two of you!" Mom stated, tears in her own eyes, as she kissed my forehead before she ran away, jumping over the roofs of the houses.

"Sarin...!" I heard Kana saying.

"Sniff, mom´s right, we have to live for the future, we have to stay brave, so let´s go!" I stated and Kana-san nodded.

Together with Karin and her family I ran through the streets which were not set ablaze already.

"Mom, I swear to my very soul, I will never forget you!" I thought as I ran.

We came to the market place as suddenly we heard a loud Roar.

We saw how the dragon fell from the sky, down towards the market place, being set ablaze by something.

As it hit the ground it shattered and became tinier.

We saw how My mother stood there, burnt everywhere but still willing to fight against this thing which stood before her.

"Fire-spirit Ignatis, it is enough, I don´t know who made you evil, but I will not allow you to kill any further!" Mother shouted.

"You are a weakling Himari-san, you always have been, I waited for an opportunity to take over your body someday, but I was suppressed, my force being chained on the Spirit clock..., tell me where is it, I will destroy it, so you can never bind us elements again!" The fire-demon which stood before my mother stated threathingly.

"You will never find it, I don´t know who freed you and who gave you this dark power, but I will free you from it, I will make your real-self seeing what it does..., you think I haven´t noticed but I did right by the start, your force was too familiar for me not to notice, one look on the clock and I was certain.

For the Dragons cannot exist anymore, they destroyed themselves, every single one of them, even the Genryū are under chains.

I didn´t wanted it to be true, that the very cause of this massacre her was one of my spirits, but I has been.

I can never forgive myself to let my guard down, but I will defeat you!" Mom stated bravely, besides being severely wounded.

"Hahaha, braveness is just another form of foolishness my dear, you will experience what it means to suffer!" The demon stated as he raised a fist, creating a fire ball in his palm.

"Nooooo, moooommmy!" I shouted and suddenly the demons head turned only to fixate me, I will never be able to forget these penetrating eyes.

"I see, so you gave her the spirit clock, very clever, if she would have fled, I would have had a hard time searching for it, but fortunately, she is a foolish as you are!" The demon stated, as he beated mom out of his way, before walking over to me, all I could do was standing there and pissing my pants in fear.

"You are as foolish as your mother little girl, but maybe I will be nice and let you live..., if you give me that medallion!" The fire-demon stated holding out one of his many firearms.

"Never, mom gave it to me, I promised to keep good care of it!" I shouted in a rush of adrenaline.

"You fool!" my opponent shouted and raised his arms to pierce them through me.

"Aaaaaarrrrggghh!" I heard a voice shouting in pain, I saw blood flowing and smelled the stench of burned flesh.

"You will not lay a single finger on her!" I heard mom coughing, as she stood before me, Ignatis´ arms pierced through her body.

"I will end this..., here and now!" She said as she suddenly pierced her own Hand into Ignatis´ chest.

"Argh you witch, what are you doing?!" He shouted in pain.

"I will give you back your former self!" She shouted, as she suddenly pulled a dagger out of his chest, a black sinister looking dagger, which emitted a dark force.

"Arrrggghhh!" Mom shouted, as suddenly a strong flame burst out of Ignatis wound, which closed itself.

Before I could even make a single step, the fire demon burst out in flames and souls.

And right within I could see how my mother burned to ashes, she looked a last time to me.

"Stay strong, Sarin!" These were her last words before she vanished.

Flashback end:

My mother managed to save us, the last two families of the Uzumaki Clan.

So I thought at least.

After we ran out of town, we met my father accompanied by a Woman, a man and her son.

It was Nagato and his mother, Fusō Uzumaki and his Father Ise Uchiha, which had been searched by my father on Lord Ashina´s wish.

According to my father, Nagato´s mother, Fusō was the third Child of Lord Ashina, the bastard child of the Uzumaki leader.

She has been living outside of Uzushiogakure, together with her mother, which had been a one night stand of Lord Ashina, her existence unbeknownst to the Lord.

Her mother recently had deceased, but had send him a letter in which she told him about his daughter, so Lord Ashina offered her, her husband and her son a place in Uzushiogakure.

But unfortunately from Uzushiogakure nothing really remained!" I told Salia which was silent the whole time, but put a hand on mine for mental support.

I was grateful for that.

"After burying the corpses we could still find, we prayed for them in the Holy Temple of Uzushiogakure to which only the leader and the miko´s have normally permission to enter.

It was the place where a large monolith stood on which the names of every deceased Clan member stood.

On it now also stands the entire names of the Clansmen which died that night.

I bet my name stand on it as well!" I joked even though I had no will nor the force to even laugh about that.

"My mother´s wish became true, I became strong, and the force which I inherited by my birth helped me to survive another 12 years, even though I suffered on asthma and lung cancer ever since that night.

It was during a fight as I died, I tried to shield my father, but before I could I had to cough hardly closing my eyes for a second, before I was impaled by a katana right through my heart.

My father, in his rage killed every single enemy single handily, before rushing to my side, trying to safe me..., but it was no use, I still remember my last words.

`Daddy, remember, mom loves you, always, and so..., do I´!" I stated as tears fell from my eyes.

"Ever since that time, I was stuck in a dark space, floating around, no time, no space, no light, nothing was there but myself.

I had no idea how long I had been there, it felt like an eternity though, and then suddenly I heard his voice, Neherit´s voice called out for me, asking me if I wanted a Second chance to make things better, to fulfill my wishes.

Of course I said yes, I wanted to be back together with my father, to see him smiling again, and to fulfill my promise to mom, to always stay at his side.

And I wanted to find the persons, which stood behind the Spiral-massacre and kill them.

And so I was brought back to life by Neherit, the man my mom spoke about, he seemed to not be older than myself and yet I felt the tremendous power he bore.

I remembered the words my Mother said.

That the Mezakan Clan was one of the Bloodlines in our ancestry, the strongest one and that My Grandmother had inherited the force from Neherit himself, the same force which I had inherited as well.

Ever since I stand loyal to Neherit and I want to help him where I can, just like my Mother told me to!" I told Salia.

"I see..., now I understand, so Neherit is not only resurrecting people for his own fun, not?" she asked.

"No he would never do that, everyone he has resurrected bears a strong force, Yota for example is able to control the weather, either at will or through his emotions, Nagato-san is one of the Rikoudou Sennin's reincarnations.

Konan is able to manipulate paper to practically anything, no matter how tiny these pieces of paper are.

And Lady Mito, well she has been the Jinnchuriki of the Kyuubi and she herself is already quite strong, for having also inherited the force of Neherit.

I don´t know who he is to resurrect next but I bet he will resurrect some Kages, perhaps the previous Hokages.

Every resurrected has a stigmata on their right hand, which represents a Clock, the numbers on the clock represent the 12 months of a year, with every month the stigmata carves itself deeper into the hand, the clock looks like a tribal-skull Tattoo.

And its only visible for beings which had died before, for more than 10 years.

As much as I have understand Neherit, does the stigmata appears visibly for everyone only when the soul went back to the limbus and the body dies again.

He says that bringing us back to life for one year is momentarily the most he can do with only 25% of his original power.

He told me that the Rinne Tensei is not perfect either, and that it can only fully bring back people which are only since a few Hours dead, but for people which are dead since decades, it likely will only last for half a year and with reduced life-force.

The Force to create and recreate life fully, is only reserved to the Watashimori, the High-sage of Spirits!" I explained.

"I see..., well I guess that all I wanted to know, if you say we can fully trust Neherit, then I too will try to!" Salia stated.

"Really, i´m so glad..., although I also only know close to nothing about Neherit´s past, do I have a feeling that I can blindly trust him, call me dumb or not but that´s simply the case!" I stated.

"You are not dumb, you are in love, I understand that!" She said and smiled.

"Anyways it´s quite late, I better go back to sleep!" she said as she tiptoed to her bed, we shared a room because she was afraid and knew no one else here.

"Sarin..., you had fought so brave, before you died and now after you died..., I am glad to have become friends with you, you are awesome!" She stated as she smiled to me.

"You think..., thank you Salia, this means a lot to me!" I replied.

"Well then good night, sleep tight!" She said before she put in her ear protections and tucked herself in her bed before falling asleep rather quick.

"Sigh...!" I stated.

"Well it´s not really true that you know nothing about Tir-Ehen, I told you some of the things!" I heard a voice in my head.

"I know, but I want to hear it from him, I want him to trust me..., I want him to be able to see that I will be there for him..., but what can I do to make him seeing me truly?" I asked.

"If it´s only this, then leave it to me..., I have to speak with him anyways..., so, what do you think, can I lend your body for a while?" The voice asked.

"Sure, go on, I observe anything from behind, however be careful and don´t make stupid things with my body got it!" I replied with a threating glare in the mirror.

"Did I ever did that before?" She asked me, with an innocent impression.

"No but I still don´t find these switches all too kosher!" I replied.

"Trust me, I will only speak with him, I promise!" The voice told me.

"Alright then, here we go!" I stated as I felt my consciousness drifting into the back of my mind, making place for another soul.

"No matter how often I did that, I can never truly befriend with the idea of doing that at all!" I thought, before I observed my surrounding like on a canvas.

Part 2: Background Story 2/ Dirge of the crow and the love, which overcomes death.

Neherit´s Pov:

It was deep in the night as I woke up.

Everyone was sleeping, not that I bothered about that fact anyways, this was my Castle, I can walk through it whenever I want to.

I have no need to be accountable to anyone and so no one should dare to forbid myself to wander through my home even in the depths of night.

Ever since the war ended, 600 years ago, has this castle been my home, transporting it from Gensan no Kuni over here costed me a lot of force, I was out for about 3 days.

"Not that anyone would have helped me anyways that time!" I mumbled, it was true, the walls have ears in this castle, of course I knew about all the things Mito-san had told to Sarin.

It was futile to tell her to keep shut, she would always just keep on telling others about me behind my back, whenever they claim to want to know me better.

She as someone who, in her normal state, could never keep a secret to herself anyways.

I really hate it, that no one is willing to keep their mouth, not even Rughian.

My past only concerns me, I don´t want anyone to know about all these things, if they do, how would anyone of them respect me, less believe and trust me.

"Not that they do that anyways!" I thought lamely.

All I could do was sigh thought, it would be a long, hard and troublesome way for them to finally fully trust me, despite of having no information about me.

However trust was not the only reason, I simply hated to speak about my past, I personally wanted to forget anything, even though I knew it was impossible, but whenever I hear anyone saying that I am their hero, I get reminded of how many souls have been lost because people though me to be a hero.

A messiah, a prophet, the chosen one, the leader to victory..., oh how foolish they have been, how wrong they were and how much disappointed and full of hatred they were later.

"All I was, was a little boy, who had no clue what to do, who hadn´t been trained in the slightest for what awaited me, all the hope they had, all the dream and wishes, they all fell to ashes.

Just because I was not instantly, what they thought I was supposed to be.

I was none of those things they held me for, all I was, was a boy of 500 years (5 M.Y.) and as such it was only logical for me, to be scared to death!" I mumbled.

I still remember how my blood froze, my pulse went into overdrive, my breath was stuck in my lungs, memories of a weakness, which I would love to erase out of my head forever.

All I could do was to witness the destruction around me, my clans-people, one by one they were erased, some even through my own hands, I had to witness, how the soul of my mother vanished in oblivion right before me, killed by my very own hands, looking with an expression of terror and sorrow at me, I saw my little sister vanishing in the shadows taken by someone.

I was too paralyzed to grab her hand, all I could do was whimpering and screaming for help, unable to do anything, for being chained in my mind, my body under control of something dark and sinister.

I had to witness how my only true friend, beside of Rughian, almost vanished as well, in last second I was able to get a hold of myself, I grabbed her soul and tried to hold it on earth, but I was unexperienced and everything went wrong that could get wrong.

Now the part of her soul which did not vanished was split as well, one half has fallen back in the circle of rebirth and the rest was stuck within the sword.

A splintered soul needed time to recover, and it was only logical that she didn´t wanted to speak with me after what I did to her, but it hurt me, incredibly, she was the only one I could save, more or less, I wanted to hear her voice again, but it was denied to me.

In the end, all what was left to me after this war, was my friend Rughian and Grandmother, who supported me after the whole village went on a rampage and tried to blame me for all their losses.

Stating that I was nothing but a poser, a monster, a wolf in a heard of sheep, they said I was in debt of the death of millions of humans and thousands of us.

Of course they tried to kill me, my body was rather destroyed anyways, and my soul did not looked nay better, as they finally were done.

Grandma made them stop, stating that I was anything but ready and experienced to be called a sage of spirits yet, and that it was the debt of the town for pushing me in this hell, when I didn´t even started training to become a sage.

Of course they tried to hurt her too, they had already since a long time something against her, but Rughian made them stop, together we fled out of town.

The people stood away from us and we hid from the rest of the world, hidden in a castle.

Only for prophecies and for giving advice they asked for her, me they had forgotten since a long time, no one ever asked for me and when I met someone of them I only got glares of hatred and mistrust, same as back a 7 months ago, as the Saigai Kane began to ring again and we had been called to the leader, My own father.

He ignored me and only listened to the wise words of my Grandmother.

I was air to him, a waste of space, ever since the last war.

In a way I could understand the Jinnchuriki´s the best.

On each and every other day we were dead to them, even my own father hated me for the loss of my Mother and Chikara, my little sister.

Our number had decreased to 450 clansmen, excluding me and Grandmother, and they yet again split in three parties, but none of them wanted to have anything to do with us.

I lied to Naruto and the people of Konoha, as well as to Sarin, Shigure and Salia, there was no one who would help us, I was the only one who searched for the Uzumaki.

Father gathered his men together, they hid everything valuable within the catacombs of the mountain nearby, and build up defense lines around the town.

They wanted to defend themselves, not bothering about the rest of the world, these cowards.

But of course were we, Rughian, Grandma and I, not at all lazy, in the years after this war I got the training which I needed to fulfil my role.

What my clans men made wrong that time, was to think an inexperienced Child could end a war not even thousands of his ancestors before could end.

They believed, that the 7th war was the last, counting from War I and the six following Millennium-Wars.

However did the prophecy spoke about after seven times of mourn, so what the prophecy actually meant was after 7 Millenniums wars, not during the seventh War.

The previous one happened exactly 1.000 years after the last war was finished, 500 years after I was born, so the world was just about to heal, but different as before did we not had to turn the time after the last war, which only lasted 500 years.

Sure the earth was burned, the humans decimated to a low number, but the planet had not been splintered as in the previous millennium wars.

Grandmother Chika however prophesied to me, that even greater disaster was to await, if we cannot repent it, and that the world had yet to be prepare once again.

I feared the day as the sentinel of the town arrived and told us that the Disaster-Bell had begun to move.

I knew the time had come to prove of how much the prophecy was right.

I had trained for more than a half millennium long and had become the High-sage of Spirits for since a little over hundred years now.

I had given everything I knew up, in order to become strong..., my past was gone, dead to me, I didn´t wanted to look back but only forward, but it was impossible, I though managed for most of my life..., until I met Sarin, her personality was what bothered me..., it was similar to Chikami´s in more than one way.

I feared to look for it, but I was sure to find in her the reincarnation of Chikami, to see Chikami´s strong force being attached to her.

After over 600 years since she died, she came back to me in the form of an Uzumaki Girl, whom I resurrected myself from the death.

And knowing she was bound to die again, it frightened me, I would lose her again, so long until she would be reincarnated again, it would be an endless loop of repeating.

And still she would never again remain at my side, forever, just as we once swore to each other.

I could not allow her to get into that danger.

If she is Honoka´s granddaughter than she would definitely live longer than every normal Uzumaki, she is near immortal, at least if the force Honoka once got from me, in order to heal her and bring her back to life after being struck near death from the large rocks that time, has reached her generation.

Same as Meiko and Mito´s kids might have this special force inherited.

Their normal life-force was being strengthen and I bet that it was only that for, that Mito managed to survive for so long despite having such a raging incredible strong beast sealed within herself, Kurama the Nine-tailed fox, created out of the Forces of my ancestors and the three titans, successor of the Juubi.

Meiko also became strong and gave this strength over to her children, still Reika Senju died long time ago, before her Brother Jiraiya was even born.

According to history was Reika being kidnapped by a foreign land, and held hostage to force the Niidaime Hokage, Tobirama Senju, her father, to capitulate.

But Tobirama was someone who loved his village, and seeing his fellow townspeople being enslaved by the enemy was no option, so he did what he had to, instead of capitulating he went out to fight alone against the enemies.

As he came back, he carried the dead Body of his daughter.

Apparently the enemy never wanted to let her live anyways, still they said to have had a hard time to kill her, that she just didn´t died, even after weeks of torture, every other child would have died within a few hours but Reika survived 5 weeks long, before she lost her last breath.

It was surely due to my Force, which she inherited from her mother, which made it possible for Reika to survive so long, but alos m force enabled her to suffer for so long.

Still she was only a child of Ten years, not trained to become a Shinobi, but only the heiress of the Senju Clan after her Father, so she could not easily defend herself, I bet the pain was incredible, Humanity is cruel, it always has been.

It lasted a long time, mainly to the same time as Tsunade was born by Mito´s Granddaughter Umi and Ranmaru Senju, that Meiko and Tobirama awaited Jiraiya´s birth, the whole thing stood under secrecy and it was never mentioned that Jiraiya was Tobirama´s son for him not to be kidnapped too.

Jiraiya was raised by his mother, until he was old enough to become a Ninja, he became Genin at the age of six with Orochimaru and Tsunade.

As Jiraiya was only 7 years old Tobirama died during the war and his scholar Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya´s sensei, became the new Hokage, during this time he also met Fukusaku and was trained in Sennin-jutsu.

It is to assume that Jiraiya could not control his chakra, because he, likewise to Naruto, had too much of Chakra which was not at all easy to control, thanks to his force inherited by his mother.

It also was to assume that Jiraiya had his hair made white and his facial features being a little altered, perhaps with the same Jutsu as Tsunade later used to always look young.

All in all Jiraiya was not Jiraiya Senju and yet he was.

But as many other before did he died too early.

The more generations are standing between you, the more the force your ancestor got is running thinner.

This was the best to see at Tsunade, despite being half an Uzumaki, is she already very old in reality, neither my force given to her great-grandmother Mito or the natural force of an Uzumaki, could be inherited by her, she had far more of the Senjus than of the Uzumakis.

Naruto on the other hand had inherited the force of His Great-grandmother, by inheriting not only the natural force of an Uzumaki but also by having sealed the soul and the Chakra of his mother within himself, and also Kurama, which had direct contact to Mito-san and who always sucked on her chakra, to weaken her, means that Kurama inherited my force as well, more or less.

Also was Kurama himself made out of the force of my Ancestors.

Perhaps Minato and Kushina wanted their son to undergo the same facial alteration as Jiraiya to keep him safe, if they would have survived long enough to do that, in the end not even Hiruzen did it and still no one, beside of those who knew about it before, knew that he was Minato´s son.

I knew all of this thanks to surveil the entire village for a month through one of my many crows which I breed, and as a shadow creeping in each secret bibliotheca and reading about the secrets of the Village.

"If I was their enemy, I would now know more about their village as most of themselves do!" I though as I stopped before my direction, the way was so familiar that I would have found him with blind eyes.

The sealed Gate to the catacombs of the Castle.

I whistled a tune as I undid the seals, before singing the song, a song I had created myself, after my experiences, I always liked to sing, and it was one of the hobbies which I still remembered and kept ever since before the war, something no one could ever forbid me.

This song here was called my Land, and has been written by me after the war.

"My own land has closed its gates on me

All alone in world, it's kinda scaring me

I am here to prove you wrong

I'm accused of something I live for

In my homeland, there's one who understands

A friendly soul, who´s trusting life in my hands

Yes, I gave it all I can

But now it's invaded by mistrust

Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you are not so brave

Are you man enough to carry the load all alone

When others have your own

My old land is but a pile of sand

Cold and bare but something still is there

Yes, I gave it all I can

But now it's invaded by hatred

Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you are not so brave

Are you man enough to carry the load all alone

When others have your own

I'm a true patriot, you want my land

you want my soul, you want all I had

But I am here, and I fight with all I got

In my dreams, I climb the hills I see

and let a gentle breeze lead me to

plains I once have seen and

clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find

I build a house right there

that you can't take ,never take away

I am here to claim the world

you can't keep us threaten, forever

Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you are not so brave

Are you man enough to carry the load all alone

When others have your own

Are you man enough to carry the load all alone

When others have your own!"

(Original, Sonata Arctica: My land)

As I was done, the seals were opened and before me opened the gate to the catacombs.

But my goal laid deep within the island itself, in the Crystal cave under the Castle.

I walked down the stairs into the catacombs, where weapons for a whole army stood, old weapons of a long forgotten era.

Weapons of the era of the modern humans and the weapons of the so called medieval era.

Some were still intact, others so rusted that with the lightest touch they could fall to dust.

I walked down the corridor to one of the prison cells, I walked within the shadow, to enter, since the cell-gate was long rusted and didn´t moved a millimeter anymore.

I pushed on the marked brick and a secret stair appeared.

I walked down to find myself in a greenish illuminated Cave.

I walked deep into the large den, where hundreds of souls floated around, souls of fallen humans or animals which had been stuck into the Fake Gallow-tree.

They were here to prepare to be send into the afterlife, I would have to do that in the next time.

I walked, before I found myself on a large place, a Temple made of stone, in the roof on all four sides was the clan-symbol, a Crow who held a Pentagram in his claws.

The crow was obviously the symbol for the Mezakan Clan, who´s animal affinity was the one of Crows, on the other hand the Pentagram was symbol for the six elements, the five main element, Fire, Water, wind, Lightning, Earth and air, as well as the sixth element resulting out of all them, Twilight, created out of light and darkness, standing as the balance between the two realms.

I sat myself near to one of the crystal pillars which were located at this place, it were exactly 6 Pillars, forming the tips and the middle of a Pentagram drawn on the ground around the temple.

One in which a long black-bladed Katana, with a golden hilt and a white crystal stuck, in the tip of fire.

One in which the fully dressed body of a young Girl of my age stuck, in the tip of lightning.

One in which a golden lance with a black crystal as lance-blade and a white crystal within the hilt´s end stuck, in the tip of earth.

One in which a pair of Black armored gauntlets, a ring of white crystals on each and 15 different colored crystals were stuck, in the tip of Air.

One in which an Armor out of Black metal, with a big white crystal on the back was stuck, at the tip of water.

And last but not least a Pillar in the center right into the middle of the temple.

In which my very own original Body stuck, growing and healing from its scars, visible and invisible, which I had undergo during the war.

Fallen Angel Raven, as it was called.

All these weapons were so called Spirit gears, mighty Weapons, forged out of the soul of a demon and Black metal, the white crystal was the compressed form of the light-foxes force.

It was a hell of a force needed to tame these things.

I leaned next to the girl´s pillar, Chikami´s pillar, looking at the pillar on the opposite side in which the Tamashīken (Soul-sword) stuck.

I looked a long time at it, remembering her last words she said to me.

"I´m so sorry, I broke our promise, I swore to you that I would stay with you forever as your friend, please forgive me!" I heard her voice saying in my head.

"It was not you..., but me who had to apologize, I did something so terrible to you, but I didn´t wanted to let go!" I replied to the voice in my head.

No, I didn´t wanted to lose you too Chikami, you were the only friend out of the clan that I ever got, you didn´t expected me to be what everyone else wanted me to be, at least you understood that I couldn´t become that out of nowhere, you just wanted to be my friend same as I wanted to be yours.

Just two kids playing, living for the moment and wishing for peace, freedom and fortune on the next day.

But it all went downhill, it was all stolen from us, all this hope was annihilated in a blink of an eye.

Why, why, why did it had to happen, which sin did we committed, that we deserved such a pain, such unhappiness.

Was it still the atonement for the sin our ancestors committed, standing their ground against our world´s demise..., aren´t we committing this same sin over and over again.

Can it really be called a sin, if we fight for the survival of our planet, can we really call it atonement then, isn´t it better to rather call it a slaughtering, the titan´s fun time, the downfall of humanity.

No matter what we call it, we have to stop it..., but still, if fate had decided that time over 20.000 years ago, that our planet had to be erased, weren´t we all foolish and self-centered to think we had to try to change that fate.

Even if that's the case, I would still stand here and fight with all my might, fighting as I should have done so long ago, because I have now even more to lose than back then.

There are people who count on me, who are having my back rather than blindly trusting that I would and could do anything.

Rughian, Grandma, Chikami, Mito-san, Yota-san even Sarin, despite my failure the last time, they trust me, they are here to help me, I am certain they wouldn´t let me down even if I fail again.

Not that I would let that happen though, I will win this time, no matter what.

I long have left my past behind me, my memories and wishes that time all of them were sealed away from me, not remembered, I wanted to live only for the future.

All I once wished for was to have a normal Childhood, was it really asked that much back then.

I cannot find anything wrong in trying to save a friend from being erased, even not today.

Even when the whole world would hate me, I would do it again, but this time for real, in order to safe a friend I would use Tamashī mippū (Soul Sealing) again and again.

Even if Chikami would tell me it would be wrong, is it really wrong from me to not want to be alone again, to not live as others want me too.

It´s my life, I want to live it, so why am I the only one to which it has been denied since my birth.

I never wanted that attention, I never wanted that trust they gave me, when I couldn´t even trust myself, and I never wanted them to ending up downright hating me.

Why wasn´t I born normally, why did I have to be born with a body, so that everyone though I was their Savior, so that evil forces could overtake it, what could I possibly do that time.

"Chikami..., even though I reconstructed your body a long time ago, you still refuse to leave the sword, to which I had attached your soul unto, as you were about to vanish.

You still refuse to look at me, listen to my apologies, my self-hate.

Do you really hate me that much..., guess I deserve it, what I did was even in our clan something unforgiveable.

We are to let go of those who are about to be erased, alone the Watashimori has the right to choose between life and death for a soul, the normal folk of the Mezakan-Clan is not allowed to interfere in a humans natural death, if we do we cause massive problems.

But I did it, I disturbed the natural flow of destiny, the natural future, out of selfish feelings, for not to be left alone again, I tried to ban your soul as a last resort to save you, into the first thing I saw.

Into the blood-drenched Katana which your Father had always at his side, I banished your soul in a Spirit-gear.

But I was inexperienced, so damn inexperienced, I could only attach a part of your soul to the sword, the rest just left without a trace, although I think to have rediscovered it.

I bet you already have Rughian telling you about those who are here, about all things which are happening so far, either in or outside of this castle, so you might know about Sarin as well,..., I believe that she might be the reincarnation of the other part of your soul!" I stated in the language of my folk.

But as I thought, I still got no answer.

"I see you still refuse to speak with me, well it´s not as if I didn´t tried it, but don´t you think that a half millennium of refusing to at least speak with me isn´t a little harsh.

I know, for what I did to you, I can never atone enough.

But i´m willing to keep on fighting, I once promised you to do anything to end the eternal slaughtering if I ever would get the power for it, I trained much, and I am prepared for this war to come, more than I ever could have been in the previous one, I am prepared to die for the safety of this world, alone this promise I at least want to fulfill.

And if it is allowed to me, I would like to meet you a last time..., to tell you how sorry I am!" I stated.

I closed my eyes and remembered on the good days, those memories I liked to remember, even though I knew that these times will never return.

I remembered how I met Chikami the very first time.

Flashback, over 1.100 years ago:

It was summer, the birds were singing, the gentle breeze over this hill was cooling from the heat of the sun.

This was my little oasis, a small part of the hill, which I managed to alter from the rest of the bare, sandy and empty land.

A place where flowers and grass grew, where water was flowing and were the gentle humming of bees was to hear.

The tree to which I leaned on, looking over to the horizon which seemed to vanish in the sea, I had planted myself.

I sat here, thinking of all what happened today again, everybody was again saying how gratefully they were, how much they had longed for someone who had the power to end these wars.

But how, how was I, a 500 years old boy able to win a war, all alone.

People had the craziest ideas about me.

This was not good, I knew way too less to be called a considerable treat to the Titans´ legion.

What did they expected me to do, I knew close to nothing about combat spells, tactics and strategies, neither did I have any force to fight yet.

All I could do was to sit here and sing all my feelings of my heart, for no body was to listen to them anyways, beside of Rughian but the same was a crow.

"Once there was a time of a never-ending dream

Of being free, of immortality

When a song was a mystery

And the stars so easy to reach

But something changed now; I see the sand's trickling slow

The time of peace, will soon be over now

I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore

The wheel of time keeps turning on unstoppable

My soul will vanish and so do they all

And nothing lasts forevermore

Why is it my fate, will I never be to see

The story's end, the final truth to be

And to all you lights, that helped me through the dark

My greatest fear is to losing your spark

I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore

The wheel of time keeps turning on unstoppable

My soul will vanish and so do they all

And nothing lasts forevermore

I see the days go by and fear the ashes to falling down

I've seen our fate once, and it´s waiting for me again

The dream is lost, so I once was told

It's gone forevermore

I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore

The wheel of time keeps turning on unstoppable

My Soul will vanish and so do they all

Nothing lasts forevermore

Forevermore

Forevermore

(Original: Xandria /Forevermore)

I finished the song not expecting anyone to say something though, I was expecting silence and the natural sound.

So I was rather surprised to hear a gentle voice.

"You´ve got a nice voice there, Tir-Ehen Mezakan!" I heard it above me.

I looked up right in the face of a young girl perhaps of my age.

She had a smile on her face, hanging from the tree only supported by her legs, not that it mattered to her though, since she was as bodiless as everyone else here, well beside of me, the Eterna Rugh-On and my Grandmother.

"h-hey!" I stated nervously, usually people were only coming to me to thank me for already ending the war, I mean as if that might be so easy, i´m only a boy, what can I possibly do, and hell even if I should be one of these destined children, how am I supposed to know on how to stop such a war.

At least yet.

"You seem to be rather nervous around people aren´t you, you are sweating terribly although it´s rather chilly!" the Girl stated.

"Maybe..., by the way I didn´t quite caught your name..., so what is it?" I asked.

"Oh my, manners, I always forget them..., anyways my name is Chikami Sakikan (Sakka Jinkan/ Writer of Time)!" She replied.

"Sakikan I see, so you are from the members who are writing up the most historical moments of the world!" I stated in awe.

"Indeed, although I haven´t started my apprenticeship yet, still everyone awaits something big from me, but honestly, I bet I will suck!" She stated, thinking.

"Not that I care about though, everything needs its time!" She continued, laughing giving me a victory sign and a wide smile.

"I can relate!" I mumbled.

"Say, you have such a beautiful voice, but why was your song so sad, do you really think that this war will go off just like the previous?" She asked me.

"I am certain of it!" I replied without hesitation.

"Why would you think that, I mean, you are the chosen one, aren´t you?" She asked with a worried tone.

"Honestly I have no idea about that, everyone tells me I am, but to me I don´t feel anything, I was born with a body..., and instantly everyone thinks I am some kind of Wonderbringer, like a djinn in a bottle, who grants you three wishes when you release him.

But I can´t anything, only the basics of our forces, I know people who are way stronger than me, so why am I said to be something special, I mean even my sister got a body, maybe the curse just began to wear off from us because too much time has passed.

My sister and I, we both were the last children to be born so far, what if now another one with a body would appear, will he or she also be called a destined child?

What are these destined Children even, did you ever asked yourself this question.

We´re supposed to be of different elements and we´re supposed to be extremely strong, but I am not strong, my forces are pathetic, I bet even you would be stronger than me.

Right now there is nothing I could do when tomorrow the war would start.

I bet I will be of no use, I am a coward, but everybody calls me a hero, but I am no hero!" I whined.

"..., maybe what you say is true, still alone your presence gives us hope and that is something we haven't had since a long, long time ago!" Chikami stated and I looked up in awe.

"But what if it all goes wrong, what if I end up being of no help, people will hate me for being only sound and smoke.

When their beloveds are dying, who you think they will blame in the end, who do you think they take out their anger first, who´s going to be the scapegoat of their wrath and hatred, of course the one they thought to be a hero, a savior to them, their Messiah.

I don´t want this, I don´t want to be hated, that's not what I was born for!" I stated to her.

"I can understand how you feel, you are scared to fail the mission casted upon you, but I bet no one will blame you for all what might happen, I mean the people know that you just started to learn, also don´t I think the war will happen so fast!" Chikami stated as she put her hands on my cheek.

"But...!" I tried but was interrupted with finger to my lips.

"Sssssshhh, stop rambling, it will be fine, just remember, even if the war will go wrong, I won´t hate you, so you don´t need to worry about me at least, my feelings won't change, to me you are a symbol of hope and how do they say again, have good things taking their time!" She stated but I could only sigh.

"Hope you say, well I hope you are not mistaken there, for i´m losing hope right now!" I stated.

"Just remember this speech, the Past is to be remembered, the present to be lived and the future yet to be experienced, being strong means to learn from your past, your good times as well as your bad ones, and to make it better the next time.

If you can remember all this, I bet that someday, maybe not tomorrow or the day after, but surely someday, you will become the strongest there was.

Something is destined to you, whether it´s meant to be now or in the far future!" Chikami stated.

"You sure are optimistic..., very well, I will try my best to cheer up and to learn as fast as I can, I won´t let anyone die!" I stated pumped up with new courage.

"That's it, that's the Tir-Ehen Mezakan I want to hear, if you say you can do it, then you can for sure!" Chikami explained.

"Very well, as reward for you showing me your cutest expressions, I shall sing a song to you as well, so listen closely!" She stated and I listened to her.

"We´re searching through emptiness

And try to forget it in vain

The light of the bright rising sun

Will bring our sadness to an end

Voices cry out through the fear and the dark

As we wait for our lives to be better

The worlds were dying through their might

But no winter lasts forever

The seasons will pass and sunlight will shine

On our lives again

So let the past now burn down in flames

Locked in prison, in a loop of living fear

On the edge of our destruction, we marching on

Still suffer in darkness with the dreams of life not meant to be

As we lie awake and curse the rising dark

Sadness comes forth from the truth that we hide

And there is pain in our hearts for a reason

The worlds were dying through their might

But no winter lasts forever

The seasons shall pass and sunlight will shine

On our lives again

So let the past now burn down in flames

Stare into my eyes

I'm burning with force and a desire

Wont you come down and

Let yourself ignite with the fire

To leave the past behind

Voices cry out through the fear and the dark

As we wait for our lives to be better

The worlds were dying through their might

But no winter lasts forever

The seasons must pass and sunlight will shine

On our lives again

So leave the past behind

The dark clouds fading for our mind

Cause no pain will last forever

The seasons have passed and sunlight is shining

On our lives again

So let the past now burn down in flaaaaames,

Now burn down in... Flaaaaames!"

(Original, Dragonforce, Seasons Acoustic version)

Chikami sang with her whole heart, and her beautiful voice touched me right in my core.

"You are awesome!" I stated with a smile.

"Well, well, look who´s smiling widely, seriously Tir-Ehen, your smiling face is way cuter than your frowning one!" Chikami stated.

"I guess so, anyways it´s getting late, I have to catch dinner or else my mother will be mad at me!" I stated.

"Same here, my mom´s going to flip!" Chikami stated with a sheepish smile.

"Say Chikami-san..., would you mind to come tomorrow too..., same time, same place" I asked nervously, I always was rather shy around new people even more around girls.

"Sure thing, I would love to, by the way, let´s be friends!" She stated.

"Sure, well then let me walk you home!" I stated.

"Oh my, you sure are fast, we hadn´t even had our first real date!" Chikami stated with a cheeky expressions.

"That's not what I meant at all!" I stated instantly sweat-dropping and backing away.

"Hahaha relax i´m just messing with you, anyways I would appreciate your company!" Chikami stated and so we made ourselves on the homeway.

We talked about many things and I found out that we had a lot in common.

I was really excited for tomorrow, but to that date it never should come.

"It´s so quiet somehow!" She stated as we arrived in the village.

The whole way long we met no one and also here in town was no soul to be seen.

"Indeed, but it´s unnaturally silent!" Chikami stated.

"Gooooong!" Suddenly a loud noise atoned.

"Woooah what's that?!"

"Hm, sounds like the noise of a large bell!" Chikami stated.

"It sure does..., but the only bell near is...,!" I stopped as I recognized from where it came.

"Please don´t tell me!" I stated as I looked up and paled as white as a sheet.

"The Saigai Kane!" We shouted in unison, terrified to no end, we all knew what this meant.

"But why, why again, why so early, i´m not prepared!" I mumbled as I fell on my butt and pissed myself out of sheer fear.

"No..., nooo..., Nooooooooo!" I screamed.

Flashback end:

"Nooooooo!" I shouted as I came back to my senses slaying my fist in the next-best crystal column, breaking the same in progress.

Recalling my Memories had always been that way, falling in trance and seeing everything through what my eyes saw and those who were with me.

It felt like I was back there, back to the same day.

"You still won't remember?!" I heard it coming from somewhere.

"Who´s there?!" I asked shocked, no one should be able to come down here.

"It´s me, who else shall it be?" I heard it, as a person walked out of the shadow, it was none other but Sarin, but something was strange on her.

"What the..., Sarin, what's with you?" I asked rising in a defensive stance.

She seemed to be in trance, not being herself, as if she was possessed by something.

"Don´t worry she´s fine, she gave me the reign over her body freely, for me to be able to talk with you!" the voice stated and now I was certain.

"... Chikami..., is that you?" I asked in our old language. (Latin)

"Indeed, Tir-Ehen, my dear Friend, it´s me!" She replied and it was silent between us for a whole while, she walked through the cave admiring the souls and the temple, even her body she looked at in wonder.

"You made a nice body for me, Tir-Ehen!" She stated after scanning the body in the crystal.

"Now I see how often you looked at me at my body at my whole being, this body here, it matches me way too much for being out of imagination!" she joked.

"How come, why you did never answered me?!" I asked, desperation rising in my voice, as I finally really comprehended what has happened and what was here, right before my eyes.

"You only ever talked to a sword!" She simply stated.

"But, but that sword, it is you, isn´t it?" I asked again, my voice growing more desperate.

"Nope, it´s not me, the other part of my soul has long vanished, fueling the clean energy of the Sword.

What's left of me is exactly here, in this body.

Although I only have little amount of soul force, and I can only speak to you when Sarin´s lets me!" Chikami´s voice atoned.

"So it is as I thought, you are in her body, she is your reincarnation!" I stated.

"Wrong again, at least she´s not entirely a reincarnation of me, my soul-part attached to you and was trying to search for a suitable host, but I could not find one, until you resurrected Sarin-san.

She was strong, fierce, loyal and lovely, just the way I imagined it to me, she even let me use her body every now and then to surveil you, and what I saw broke my heart.

You completely turned your back on almost everyone, you try to do anything alone and you don´t even care enough about your own health.

You became strong..., that's for sure, but you also turned to the worst, you drowned yourself in loneliness for this strength, you refuse to believe in anyone else, and yet you claim to need help.

You call out for unity yet you are the one most unsociable.

You still refuse to relieve your past, you refuse to tell anyone, for them to understand you and you don´t let anyone trying to ease your pain.

Do you still regret things..., you know it was not your fault!" Chikami stated.

"It was, I let anyone down, I was their hope and yet I couldn´t bring anything but new despair..., what am I, a failed experiment of the deities, a poser, a no-good, a promise-breaker?

I asked myself this question over and over again, but I always came to the same conclusion, I killed you and all the others, I killed you because I was too unexperienced and too weak to defend and protect you!" I shouted.

"You did not, you are blind, blind for the truth, you don´t even remember what happened don´t you?!" Chikami yelled at me through Sarin´s body, with tears in her eyes.

"You say you killed me but that´s not true, I killed myself, I threw myself in front of you to shield you, that´s what happened.

I was prepared to die, if I only could save you!" Chikami stated in endless sorrow.

"Chi-Chikami!" I stammered in sorrow and pain, as I saw her hard glance at me.

"It´s time to remember Tir-Ehen, and this time I won´t let you block the memories, you forgot what it means to be strong, what it means to trust others, and what it means to never forget, so I will show you what comes from shouldering everything alone!" she stated as she rushed forward, I tried to back away but it was too late.

"And now relieve these days once again, on that you know what you lost, for you to understand that you need help to master anything; that a lone wolf can only fail to defeat a Bear!" Chikami stated and suddenly I fell deep into an endless dark void, so it seemed to me.

Flashback; 610 years ago:

It were exactly 490 years passed since the war started, and already half of the Humanity has perished in the flames of war, or were demonized, caught by the dark side.

The war was awful, it was worse than I ever expected, all I could do was to flee, and run for my life.

On my side were Chikami and Rughian, my Crow-friend, I didn´t knew where my parents and my sister were, not even Grandmother Chika could I find in this chaos.

All what was left to us was to run and hide, hiding away from the demons which had been unleashed, the humans, made crazy by the Miasma and other beings which were out to kill us.

Currently we were hiding in the ruin of a house, far, far away from home.

"Chikami do you think this war will ever end?" I asked her whispering.

"I don´t know, Neherit, it´s said they always last thousand years, so we likely will have another 510 years of war!" she stated.

"Another 510 years, oh god!" I though in terror, these past 490 years were already a hell, but to have to witness that another 510 years long, that was sheer impossible to me.

"We are as well as dead! "I mumbled.

"Bullshit, we survived so long so we not going to die tonight got it, as long as we run and hide we will be safe, as long as we are standing together nothing can ever kill us.

Only together we are strong, alone we would only be overrun by all this.

You always need someone to hold your back save, even if you would have the Byakugan.

Anyways, what´ im trying to say is, that all we need to do is to hold on strong on what we believe, I bet we will find a way to survive!" She stated before her stomach growled.

"Ehehehe!" She chuckled sheepishly, but I knew what it was, we hadn´t eaten something for the past week, we tried to hunt but beside of demonized animals nothing was to find anymore.

We even tried to eat human flesh found on the battlefield, but alone the thought and the look of it made us blowing this idea in the wind, as fast as it came to us.

And so we were left starving.

I depended much on Chikami, after all she was 200 years older than me, wiser and stronger, she was like the big sister I never had.

"Hey Chikami!" I stated.

"Huh, what's the matter Tir-Ehen?" She asked.

"If you would know that today is the last day you live, what would you do!?" I asked her.

"Didn´t I told you not to think about such things?" She scolded me.

"I know, but hypothetically spoken!" I stated.

"I guess I would eat a giant buffet, at least when I find one, I would take a nice warm bath, if I would have a bath tub, and..., maybe I would kiss the boy I like!" She stated the last thing to my sheer surprise.

"And who would that be?" I asked.

"Well..., that's a secret!" She stated with a finger to her lips.

"What, that´s not fair!" Is stated.

"Haha, well it´s funny to see your expression now!" She stated and smiled, a smile I fell I love with a long time ago.

I loved her, even though she was older than me,..., I always had, since I met her the day this war started.

I wanted to ask her out as soon as this war was over, so hearing about a boy she liked, it made me a little jealous.

"And you?" She asked.

"I would nuzzle in my mother's embrace, hold my sister tight, get a hair-ruffle from dad, a gentle smile from Grandma and maybe I would kiss the girl I love!" I stated.

"Oho, I didn't knew you had a special someone already, would you mind tell me who it is, do I know her perhaps?" Chikami asked.

"You do but i´m not telling you who it is!" I stated.

"Well now i´m curious!" She stated, as she approached me with a creepy smile.

"No you not going to, no please no!" I stated, but before I could react she tickled me.

"Hahahaha, stop it Chikami please, hahahah, I beg you!" I laughed out loud, it felt good to do that.

"Not until you tell me who it is!" she stated chuckling.

"Please, nooo!" I shouted out loud.

"Groooooarrr!" Suddenly a loud noise came from the roof and seconds later something big broke through it, right before where we were standing.

"Oh no, run Tir-Ehen, Run!" Chikami shouted, as the demon spotted us.

"Groooaaarr!" It roared and was about to jump at us as it suddenly was grabbed by an invisible force and squeezed to death.

"Kids are you alright!" We heard, it as the Demon was dead.

"What the...!" I shouted, I knew this voice.

"Mama, it´s you!" I shouted in joy.

"Tir-Ehen, oh my sweet boy, I was so afraid I thought I lost you!" Mother yelled, as I dived in her arms.

My mother was a mighty Demon hunter and well known throughout the Clan, her older Brother, my Uncle, had been the founder of the Uzumaki Clan ages ago.

"Where are you coming from Lady Mezakan?" Chikami asked respectfully bowing.

"Out of the west, far, far away from here, near the border to Gensan no kuni we have a little bastion over there, a castle which we defend, Chikara is also there same as your father and your Parents Chikami, most of the Mezakan clan has survived and is holding up the defense!" Mom stated.

"That's good!" I stated with new hope.

"Quick we better get out of here, these things do not need a long time to recover, the faster we are out of his sight, the lesser he can get us!" Mom stated.

"Sure thing, Rughian c'mon it´s time to go!" I stated to my crow-friend, who flew over and sat on my shoulder.

And so we marched on through ruins of former towns, deserts, lakes, over the ocean, through forests and over Battlefields, stopping only to rest and to eat some of the things mom has in her bag, it were mostly herbs but better than nothing.

The world was in worse shape than I ever had imagined, towns were burned, so the fields and anything else.

"Mother, i´m so sorry!" I stated after the second day during night time, as we rested under the Stars.

"What for?" mom asked.

"For not being able to end the war, Grandma was so sure I would be a destined child and now it´s shown I am just a normal little boy, who pisses his pants from sheer fear!" I Stated.

"You are not a little boy who pisses his pants, having fear is just normal, even I am afraid, afraid that I cannot protect you, that I fail my mission to bring anyone I can find back safely to the base.

Strength means to stand together in times of need. Beside of all differences..., if we deny our help to others and refuse others to help us, we are only a step away from our own demise.

Keep that in mind and you can become strong enough to protect others, it will give you the strength to save those dear to you!" Mom explained.

"See, I told you, a lone wolf can never defeat a bear, but a wolf pack will be able to even bring down three of them!" Chikami stated wisely.

"This is a wise speech you learned there, dear Chikami Sakikan!" Mom praised her.

"My mother taught it to me, she said that she always had to remind dad about it, when he was doing things on his own again!" Chikami explained.

Her father, so she told me, was a hunter of the Mezakan clan, a man which job was it to hunt demons and bring their remains to the sacred blacksmiths, who can forge spirit-gears out of them.

The only Blacksmith near Gensan no Kuni was my grandmother Chika though, next to being the main itako of our Town, Saisho to saigo no machi (Town of Alpha and Omega).

The march lasted five months until we arrived near the castle.

While encountering many demons, Mom always managed to safe us, she was a mighty warrior of the Mezakan Clan, Grandma´s direct successor and possibly an Itako, as strong as her if not even more.

However we should never know what was lying ahead, the greatest evil was yet to come, an evil from which I found no escape.

Part 2: Of lost souls and perfect Weapons, Set the world on fire.

"There it is, the last Bastion of the Mezakan Clan, beside of the main town, welcome to Herim Tarun (Eye of the gods)!" Mother stated in awe, as we arrived on a hill, on which a neighboring Mountain with a giant castle stood, separated by a small valley.

The castle we stood before was though only a ruin of its former greatness anymore, but it still stood strong against hordes of demons and other dark creatures which were lurking before it.

"There is a secret path to enter the castle!" Mom stated a she led us to a nearby ring of Stone-gates.

"Taruma Nastor (allow us to enter)!" Mom stated and suddenly a strange force-field, like waving smoke, appeared right into one of the stone-gates.

"The location always changes so that no enemy can easily get in as well!" Mom explained as we walked through.

We arrived right in the court of the castle, where a heathen battle was going on.

People were fleeing while the demon-hunters were fighting the demons which managed to get into the Castle´s court.

"Oh no, how did they have gotten in here, what happened to the force field?" Mom asked a passenger.

"It broke down as the caster was killed!" the frighten woman stated, the horror was scratched in her face, she looked at us before she suddenly had some sense of recognition, as she spotted me.

"You, where the hell have you been, our men, our children they die out there, where the hell have you been, why didn´t you helped us.

You have to help us, you are the chosen one so get out there and fight!" the woman yelled before she pushed me right in a fight of a demon and a hunter, useless to say that the Hunter was distracted enough for the demon to kill him.

"Aaaaaaaah, Nambor..., noooooo!" The Woman yelled in pain, sorrow and horror as she ran towards her husband.

"You..., oh how I curse you, you liar, you were supposed to be the chosen one..., but you are nothing but a poser..., I hate you, go and die like my son and Husband did.

Erenor tarunor Neherit (damned you shall be, angle of Death, pitch black crow)!" the woman spat full of hatred, as she glared at me.

Her glance and her words in hatred, were so strong it made me paralyzing.

Erenor Neherit, Angle of death, pitch black crow, the greatest swear word of the entire Mezakan Clan, it means as much, as Traitor.

"Tir-Ehen!" Mom and Chikami shouted, as Mom blocked of a deadly beat from the demon, who came from behind without me realizing.

The demon easily pushed us out of the way and instead resumed to eat the man, as well as the woman now, alive.

"I curse you, Erenor Neherit Mezakan!" These were the last words we heard, before the demon bit her in two halves.

I felt how piss was running down my legs as I witnessed this sight.

"Kids go into the castle, we adults will deal with them, hurry!" Mom stated.

"They died, they both died because of me!" I mumbled shaken in terror.

"Tir-Ehen, let´s go!" I heard Chikami stating but I could not react.

"I killed them, I killed them, I killed them, I KILLED THEM!" I yelled, the more I was shaken by her.

"Slap!" Suddenly I felt a stinging pain in my cheek.

"Tir-Ehen, get a hold of you, you have to wake up and realize that you can do nothing right now, go in hiding and don´t come out before I come to get you, did you hear me!?" Mom stated, as she looked with serious eyes into mine.

"I killed her, I killed her!" I repeated whispering.

"Tir-Ehen, please, it was not your fault, she fell in her own demise as she pushed you, it was her responsibility for distracting her husband, which got them both killed in the end.

You are not to blame, but please hide now, hide until it all is over!" Mom stated, before she turned around and ran off.

"Hurry let´s get in here!" Chikami stated and pulled on me.

"Your mother will be okay, for sure, so come now!" She stated and I went with her.

"Come back safely mom, don´t you dare to die too!" I prayed to the heavens above.

The walk into the castle was very hasty, everywhere we had to dodge demons and Mezakan Clan-members who fought against each other.

"Here we are, let´s go get in there!" Chikami stated as she opened a hidden door.

We slipped inside before she closed the door again.

Inside we saw many faces of kids, many different expressions, from sorrow to relief, to deep agony and wrath as well as hatred.

"Onii-chan!" I heard a loud voice and before I could process it´s familiarity, I was already embraced.

"Chikara, is that you..., are you alright?" I asked as I recognized who hugged me.

"Of course it´s me and now that you are here I feel even better, where´s mommy?" She asked with big eyes.

"She´s outside fighting!" Chikami stated.

"I see,..., well she will be alright, mom´s strong after all!" Chikara stated with a determined expression.

"Yeah, she sure is!" I replied.

"Klonk!" Suddenly the door opened once again.

"This must be her!" Chikara stated as she ran off.

"Wait Chikara..., dammit, what is this feeling!" I stated as it suddenly went cold, ice cold.

"Oh no!" I shouted in my mind, as I recollected the bit of demonology which I had read so far.

"Nargelfars (Soul-suckers), how the hell did they have gotten in here?" Chikami shouted in terror.

"Chikara!" I screamed for her.

"Onii-chan!" I heard her screaming in terror.

"Ch-Chikara, wait i´m coming!" I shouted as I ran towards her voice.

"Onii-chan uuuurgghh, don´t come near!" I heard her saying, as I ran around a corner and saw her, grabbed by the collar by one of these things.

"Dammit let go of her!" I shouted, as I jumped at him, I was not brave nor did I get any better at fighting, during this whole time Chikami and I had been on the run, but I was willing to defend my beloved even if it was futile.

"Aaaaah!" I shouted, as the Nargelfar pushed me away with some kind of force, right into the opposite wall.

"No you won't take her with you!" I shouted as I stood back up and attacked again, before I was grabbed by my throat by the beast.

It let go of Chikara and I thought she had a chance to run, but I could not even tell her.

"Onii-chan!" I heard her screaming in horror.

"Chi... Chikara..., r-run!" I stammered, my throat hurtfully squeezed.

"Niii-chan, aaaaah!" Chikara shouted as suddenly something grabbed her from behind.

"Chi..., Chikara!" I shouted, before I was thrown into the next wall, I bet some ribs were broken.

"Aaarrrgghh, Huuarrgh!" I spat blood as the wall collided with me.

"Why, why did it have to end this way, all I wanted to do was to live in peace, maybe marry Chikami and have kids with her, living happily, just like a normal family!" I thought, as I was about to be killed, my enemies hand ready to pierce my soul.

"Chikami..., Chikara..., Mother..., Father..., everyone..., i´m so sorry!" I stated, as I closed my eyes.

"Aaaaaaarrrgggghhh!" I heard a scream, but it was not mine.

"What!?" I asked, as I opened my eyes and looked up, what I saw terrorized me even more.

"Hey open your eyes, Tir-Ehen..., guess this means your Hypothesis became true, I would have loved to eat that buffet with you or take a nice warm bath, but I guess I can only really fulfil the last part of my wishes!" Chikami stated, a dark creepy hand pierced through her bodiless soul.

Her hands reached out for me and she pulled me closer.

"At least I can kiss the Boy I love!" She said as her lips touched mine.

"Why, why did it have to come so far..., why do you have to leave me too?" I asked, as tears began to roll over my face.

"I´m so sorry, I broke our promise, I swore to you that I would stay with you forever as your friend, please forgive me Tir-Ehen, I guess I can´t keep this promise!" Chikami stated, her soul was almost vanished, she had no legs anymore.

"No I won´t let you go!" I stated, as I held on her hands.

"I wish I wouldn´t have to go, but I guess there is no helping anymore!" She stated.

"No, no, please don´t go!" I cried.

"Tir-Ehen, promise me something, promise me to survive, somehow, survive and become strong, and bring this endless loop to an end, on that the world can finally breathe up again.

Defend this world as an Edemah Ruh, and rescue your friends like you wanted to rescue me, please promise me that!" She demanded.

"I will, I promise I become strong enough to end this wars, I will become strong enough to safe this world, but please don´t vanish!" I stated, as only her upper torso was remaining.

"I don´t want to either, believe me..., hey Tir-Ehen, by the way..., this girl you like..., tell me..., who is she?" Chikami asked me with last forces.

"It's you dummy, it always has been you, I loved you since the day I met you!" I shouted in pain and sorrow.

"I see, that's good to hear!" she stated, as she forced her soul back to me to embrace me with a smile.

"I´m so sorry, from here on out you have to walk alone..., without me, I wish I could go with you..., I guess this means goodbye, Sayonara, Arigatou Tir-Ehen!" she stated as only her head was remained.

"N-n-no-no-no, NO!" I yelled as I rose up and with a sudden force I grabbed her soul as it just was almost fully vanished.

"Huh, what are you doing, Tir-Ehen!?" I heard her, while I was looking around but the only thing I found was a strange black Katana.

"I will not let you go, you shall stay with me, forever, as we have promised to each other!" I Shouted.

As I pushed her soul-remains into the Katana.

"What are you doing, don´t do it..., they will hate you..., and you know it is forbidden..., don´t do it Tir-Ehen!" Chikami stated as she vanished mostly in the white crystal of the Katana, she was mostly sealed but I felt my force growing weaker, I hope I still can make it.

"I don´t care if they hate me, I don´t care if they call me a traitor, all I need is you, I don´t need other people but you and my family, as long as I have you, I am satisfied, so please stay with me, forever..., Mippū (sealing)!" I yelled, I only saw this once as my mother did it.

I hoped that it would work out.

The Katana glowed brightly, before the shine faded away.

"Did it worked?!" I asked, but I had no time to look after that, as I was attacked.

"Aaaragggh!" I shouted, as I raised the sword to block the attack.

"Raaaaaiiaaaaaaarrr!" Suddenly the Nargelfar screamed in pain, as his claw had been split in two.

"I worked, this katana, it can cut demons!" I stated, as I came to the only conclusion I had left, I would have to fight my way out of here.

"Grr, it´s payback time!" I shouted and so I stormed at the demons and simply cut wildly around me, but it worked, more or less, the demons flew away.

I broke through the door and ran through the corridors of the castle, which stood in flames.

"Mom, Mom where are you, Chikara, Chikara!" I shouted, while I sliced Demons in halves wherever I came.

But all I found was demons, demons and even more demons.

"Is there no end to this ghost parade?" I asked myself the more often I killed demons and sucked them into the sword.

"I hope i´m not too late!"

"Mom, where ar...!" I shouted but stopped dead in my tracks at the sight I saw right before me.

"Oh, well look who´s there, you came right in time, I was longing for a little dessert!" the demon, an Infernal General for sure, before me shouted, as he munched on the heads of no one else but Chikami´s parents.

And next, captured by demons stood Mom and Chikara, both with terror in her eyes.

"Would you mind wait a bit, i´m just done with the appetizers!" the demon stated.

"Are you fucking kidding me, let go of them immediately!" I screamed, as I stormed forward.

"Tir-Ehen don´t do it, go away and leave while you can!" Mom shouted.

"You better listen to your mother!" the demon laughed.

"You will never get her!" I shouted, as I tried to cut the arms of the demon, but was simply thrown back.

"But how?" I asked.

"You think this toothpick can really harm me, even only a little!?" the Demon mocked me.

"Haaaa!" I shouted, as I attacked from anew, but was punched back into a wall.

"Aaarrrgghh!" I shouted.

"Pathetic, you really think that this little knife is going to help you?" He stated with that annoying mockery in his tone.

"I will kill you!" I screamed.

"You think you can do that, I rather doubt it though, you don´t even know how to use a spirit-gear!" the Demon laughed.

"Spirit Gear?" I stated in awe, so this was the sword of a demon hunter, now that I looked really at it I recognized it, it was the sword I once have seen before, I think, Galderon wore it last and he was...

"Chikami´s father!" I stated in terror as it dawned to me, so this was his Katana.

I admired the black blade.

I heard that in spirit-gears mighty spirits or demons of various elements were living within, being banished, and that metal of the Gates of punishment was used to forge them, using the strength of a spirit one made a contract with, one can do various things, but only with the right amount of force, if you are too weak you get overtaken.

Even by knowing this, I would have to take that risk, for maybe this was my only chance to save my Family.

"Can you hear me Spirit, I am ready to make a contract!" I shouted at the sword.

"Very well, you are one of those idiots who try to make myself yours, am I right, however, I am the only one to decide whether you are ready or not, if you aren't, your soul shall belong to me..., so come, shout my name, if you dare!" I heard a foreign, ice cold and sinister voice in my brain.

I had nothing to lose though, I had the choice, I get eaten by this demon, or my contract with the other goes wrong, either way I was bound to die, but I at least have to try.

A sinister whispering told me the demons name.

"Then let´s form a Contract, Nidhog!" I shouted, before I was engulfed in a strange, foreign and massively strong force, it was so dark that the feeling brought me the creeps, but it also was so strong I felt how sheer force ran through every fiber of my being.

"This Power is amazing!" I stated, as I felt how my stamina raised as well as my natural force.

"Hmmmn, guess I have to deal with you first then!" The demon before me stated with narrowed eyes, as he let go of Mom.

"Tir-Ehen, No, don´t do it, you are not ready, he is too strong for you, you cannot win, flee, grab Chikara and flee, leave me behind!" She only screamed as the demon charged.

"I won't do that, if I cannot even save my family, how am I supposed to save the world!" I shouted, as I charged as well, meeting the Demon midway.

"Hiiiaaaaaa!" I shouted as I sliced the sword in the air, creating a shockwave of dark energy, which sliced an arm of the demon.

"Aaaaaaarrrgggghhh!" the same screamed in terror.

"You dared to touch my mother with your filthy hands, I will make you pay for it!" I screamed, as I sliced the sword many times, creating a net out of slices which destroyed the demon´s soul.

"Mippū!" I yelled, as I sealed the demon right into the Black Katana.

"Noooooooo!" The same screamed as he was sucked in.

"And now to you!" I stated as my eyes looked at the demons which still held my mother in their grasp.

"Vanish!" I shouted and with a sword stroke, they disappeared into oblivion.

My goal was achieved, Mom and sis were finally safe.

"Hahaha, you think I have forgotten our contract, your soul is so weak, and it will be easy to crush your will instantly!" Nidhog´s voice stated

"But i´m curious, how long will you survive, when I slowly possess you, when you more and more lose your mind, when annihilating everything in your way, becomes your sole purpose of existence!" his voice stated and I practically felt how his evil soul snaked around me like a viper, trying to lure me into the darkness.

"I will never give in to you!" I stated with a strong voice.

"So, that´s what you think, well let me tell you something, the more demons you bind, the stronger I get, but to save the world, as you claim you will do, you will have to kill and seal the demons..., either way, I am at the winning end, you can´t win this war without me, just admit it!" Nidhog whispered, chuckling evilly.

"Maybe I am too weak and maybe you will be able to take my soul, but if I can save my family and friends as well as my fellow clansmen, I will willingly give my soul!" I stated.

"Hahaha, you should be careful with your wishes young Mezakan, sometimes they become true!" Nidhog chuckled evilly.

Even with knowing about this lingering threat, I went out and began to slay demons for the next ten years, in order to save the world.

It didn´t lasted long until other demon hunters joined us, so also our father who came with others of them, as he heard of the fall of Herim Tarun and soon we were a small legion, ready to strike down the legions of hell.

But with every slain Demon, Nidhog´s influence on me went stronger, the sword got harder to hold and more than once I felt myself running berserk on the battlefield.

I felt mistrust and hatred directed to me from my clansmen, each one of them saw my drastic change and the most of them watched it with concern, and my Paranoia began to increase as well, which helped the whole situation not one bit.

I long forbid myself to sleep, for I was afraid, that Nidhog might take over my body while I sleep.

This went on until I slayed my hundredth Infernal General, large and powerfull demons who command legions of weaker demons.

The battle was tiring, and I hadn´t slept for weeks.

Before sundown then it happened, my eyes finally fell shut.

Nidhog had waited for this very moment, biding his time, he overtook my body and in the same night annihilated an entire neighboring village in a gruesome way, 500 humans, dead and lost to the world.

As I woke in the morning, in laid in my bed, knowing nothing at all from the previous night.

This went on and on, every night when I fell asleep, not being able to stay awake anymore, Nidhog took over my body and ran amok, annihilating villages and towns.

In the end before they once caught me in the act, he had annihilated 20 villages and 7 large towns.

I was caught as another demon Hunter patrolled through the village Nidhog destroyed with my Body.

He called the other demon hunters and a massive battle unfolded, in which I brought death to 2/3 of the entire legion of demon hunters.

I was the strongest threat they had so far.

The people had trusted me with ending the war and in the end, all I brought them was their death, being the wolf among sheep.

In the end the one person I wanted to save stood against me and was killed by my own hand, and all I could do was to watch from the back of my consciousness, Nidhog had become long too strong for me to handle and no one seemed to have been able to stop me.

So I though, until I felt a sharp pain and was dragged out of my body.

Grandmother Chika stood before me, having banned the demon right within my own body, my soul was now same as the rest of the remaining Mezakan clan, bodiless and so also defenseless against the assault of the murderous mob which awaited me.

That my Body had been taken over by a Demon was irrelevant to them, for them counted only the number of deaths I brought, the lost souls erased by my own hands.

Not that this wasn´t worse enough already, they also accused me of having played a cruel and sick game.

Newly-widows and mothers, who had lost their children during the main time of the war, asked me why I didn´t saved their children and men, if I was supposed to be the chosen one, if I was so strong as in the last ten years.

And slowly so slowly their hatred against every demons reached higher waves and was directed towards me and only me.

The name Neherit went through my ears like a mantra, and the more often I heard it, the more I felt my own name fading away, they were right, I had no right to call myself Tir-Ehen anymore..., and so was Neherit Mezakan being born.

In the end I was made responsible for the whole war to be unleashed at all.

They cursed my birth, as the false messiah.

I had been chased out of Gensan no kuni, threaten to be erased by my very own father.

The only one who stood at my side was Rughian and Grandmother Chika.

Together, and with the Tamashīken, as well as my possessed Body, kept in a crystal made of light forces, we flew back to where it all began, to Herim Tarun , or how they called it, Maronsa rumterito (Forsaken Castle) at the border of Gensan no Kuni.

Splitting the hill on which it stood, from the land, through a massive abyss of 1 mile in diameter, which they latter called the Abyss of the fallen, we lived there ever since.

Grandmother Chika was the only one who always stood at my side, she constantly apologized for having send me in that hell.

I was blank I didn´t wanted to remember anything of the hell I had been through, I said to her and Rughian to call me by my new name, Neherit, at first they refused but I insisted to wear this name.

Grandma Chika helped me to recover, the time under Nidhog's influence was bad for my soul and Body, same as the later assault, and I was close to transforming myself in a demon if Grandma wouldn´t have helped me.

She told me, that she would take it upon herself to tutoring me, teaching me, helping to be prepared if the war should ever break out again.

At first I was afraid of it, I didn´t wanted to be the chosen one anymore, now even less than ever before, but I soon learned that I might be the only hope for the world, ever since the Jinkensha clan had separated in three, and each of them wanted to save other things on the cost of something different, like humanity at the cost of our planet or viseversa, or like the Mezakan Clan, their own asses at the cost of everyone else.

I was thorn, between regret, conscientiousness and self-hatred.

I decided to never let someone come close to my heart again, whom I didn´t know since long time, so that if the time comes when I lose them again, I would not have to suffer so much.

Not completely knowing the person which falls face down to death, makes it easier to say goodbye to them.

But it was futile, even if I was trying my best to not let it happen again, I unconsciously created new bonds with new people, just like with Sarin and Mito-san.

I was bound to become attached to these persons, to whom I tried to deny any attachment.

They were unique in their ways but each one of them could have been a reincarnation of Chikami Sakikan.

Just like Madara and Hashirama had been the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura Otsutsuki.

Flashback end:

Part 3/ Rebirth by night, of unshakeable wills and unsure futures.

As I woke back up out of my memories I panted hard, my heart was broken all over again, witnessing all these deaths, all the faces of the children who will never be able to have a future, all the men who stood brave against the demons, and all the clansmen which once looked up to me, all of them, killed by my own hands.

"Why..., why did you make me seeing all this..., all this horror again, I didn´t wanted to, I wanted to forget these things, so tell me, WHY DID YOU SHOWED THEM TO ME?" I asked Chikara loudly, in rage, self-hatred and pain, as well as sorrow.

"You shall never forget what happened, if you do, you humiliate these lost souls even more.

You shall remember what you once lost and what once happened, on that you never make the same mistake again.

You grabbed the sword, inexperienced as you had been, you made a contract with a demon although you knew it was wrong and too much to handle for you, you tried to face a demon all alone and you cursed yourself through this. These were the mistakes you made.

But I too, I was inexperienced, I could not protect you but I managed to at least keep my promise, I stayed with you, for all this time.

However, now things have changed, you are experienced, more than you ever have been before, and you got people who care about you, Mito-san, Sarin, Rughian, Yota-san and Grandmother Chika, and if you let it happen, you could have many more, don´t make the same mistake again, don´t try to shoulder the weight of the world all alone, or else it will surely crush you.

You need friends and comrades on your side, which help you making the right decisions, which help you in need, once again, I beg you, don´t try to shoulder everything by your own, if you do that, you will fall back into the darkness, which you had managed to escape only through a big sacrifice, sooner than you expect.

You need a spark of light to hold on, even when darkness is filling your surroundings.

You once said it yourself!" Chikami´s voice stated out of Sarin´s mouth.

"And to all you lights, that helped me through the dark

My greatest fear is to losing your spark!" I recited the passage of the song I once created.

"Exactly, so please listen to this one, I created it for you to understand, that no matter what you think, you are never alone.

I once thought to be able to become it, but I was not meant to be, however, you gave this girl a second chance and she is here to help you, she might be the guidance, the light you have always searched for, I saw it in her heart, she likes you, possibly more than she recognizes herself yet.

So I beg you, at least try to not push her away from you, who knows maybe more comes out of it!" Chikami stated.

"Are you trying to hook me up with Sarin, Chikami?" I asked dumbfounded as well as a little amused.

"Maybe..., still it worked, you smiled, you haven´t since years, you should do that more often from now on, you are prettier when you smile from your heart, I remember to have told you that before, didn´t I?!" She said.

"I once was able to..., but it happened too much which made me stopping to do it!" I stated with a frown.

"I know, I showed it to you so that you do not forget, still these things are in the past, you have to move on from them, but don´t ever forget them, they shall be a reminder to you what you might lose and what might could happen yet again...!

Tir-Ehen...!" She stated but I interrupted her.

"My name is Neherit, Chikami!" I replied.

"No it´s not, its Tir-Ehen and it always will be, anyways, promise me one thing..., try to save the world, but do not die for it out of foolishness, never again think that the world does not need you, because I know it does.

The only one, who can rejecting your existence to the world, is yourself.

Also,..., promise me that you give Sarin at least a chance, as I said she could be your guiding light, so listen well now!" Chikami stated, before she took a deep breath and began to sang, and once again I heard that Angelic voice.

"I bloom, I wilt

like a flower in the wild

I find guidance

in the glow of northern light

I breathe indeed

and I close my eyes

I search, I see

Over mountains I fly high

lights will guide me

Into oceans I dive

lights will guide me

lights will guide me

lights will guide me home

lights will guide me home

I rise, I fall

like water from the sky

I grinch, I roar

like a storm that never dies

I breathe indeed

and I close my eyes

I search, I see

Over mountains I fly high

lights will guide me

Into oceans I dive

lights will guide me

lights will guide me

lights will guide me home

lights will guide me home

Over mountains I fly high

lights will guide me!"

As Chikami ended, I was reminded of how beautiful and how wonderful her voice had been and still was, even out of Sarin, so it was actually Sarin´s voice which sang to me.

"I promise to find my light, even if it shall not be you anymore, still, you were and always will be the spark which ignited me the most!" I stated.

"I See..., you too, still I have to give you up..., well still not entirely since Sarin and me are one, in a way!" She stated thinking before blushing.

"Anyways I guess my time for tonight is over, if I hold her soul longer on distance, she might be lost, just one more thing I wanted to do, before I go back to sleep ..., forgive me Sarin, but I have to break my promise!" Chikami stated, as she rushed forward and crashed her lips against mine.

I was baffled, still it was not unwilled, the softness of Sarin's lips was quite similar to how Chikami´s had been, the feeling of sweet sensation was the same as well.

I liked it, very much to be honest, and I think this moment was when I asked myself the first time how it might be to truly be together with Sarin..., but I guess this was only because she was Chikami..., in a way.

Well... it was not as if I didn´t found Sarin attractive to begin with, I just told myself to have no right to love someone when I would lose them again, also I didn´t wanted to just find a replacement for Chikami, but if even Chikami tells me to go for it, I might just should do it.

I think 600 years of being Single, living in a self-chosen celibate, without ever had having a real relationship in the first place, will forever be an unbeaten record.

"Well I guess it's time to go back to sleep!" I stated, as I looked at Sarin, who sat on her knees sleeping, leaned on me.

"Geez, well come up!" I stated, as I took her piggy-back, she stirred a bit but was still fast asleep.

"Mmmmhmmm, Tir-Ehen!" She mumbled.

I blushed at the way, how affectionate she called my true name.

"Just don´t let your father know about this!" I stated smirking, as I walked forward and back up into the castle.

"Soon, it will start..., the flames of war will rise again, and the masters of Darkness will awake to bring fear, terror and hatred over the world... and then, I too will be free again..., so be prepared..., Erenor Neherit Mezakan!" I heard a sinister voice saying, behind me, an ice cold chill ran down my spine, it has been a long time since I last heard this voice for real.

"It will not going to be like that time, Nidhog!" I stated.

"We will see, my friend, we will see!" the voice whispered, as I sealed the door, looking a last time at my real body, I thought to see it smiling a sinister smile.

"I swear to everything what´s holy to me, I will get my body back, and I will taming you, Shadow-dragon Nidhog!" I swore, as the gates closed and were sealed again.

And so I walked with Sarin on my back through the dark lit castle.

"Neherit?" I suddenly heard it as I felt her stirring up.

"Are you awake?" I asked.

"Yes..., your back´s nice and warm though, so I might sleep back in right away!" She stated with a comfortable sigh.

"Well if you want to sleep you can do it!" I simply stated.

"I will take you on that offer!" She stated and she indeed was silent for a while, while I walked back up into the castle.

"Hey..., Neherit..., uhm..., I heard and know what Chikami did to you, I saw all these things you experienced and which that demon has done, i´m sorry for carelessly calling you Neherit, from now on I will use your real Name!" Sarin stated.

"I see, but that's not necessary, I am used to this Name and I choose myself to wear it..., anyways..., do you hate me now, knowing that I am nothing but a monster?" I asked her.

"No of course not, you are no monster, I mean, after all it was not yourself who killed all this people!" She replied harshly.

"Still I was the one who even enabled the demon to do these things, I wouldn´t wonder if deep down you hate me for their deaths, for I hate myself the most!" I stated.

"But...!" She tried but I silenced her with a finger to her lips.

"It´s okay, it´s just like Chikami said, I shall not forget them, but it all lies in the past, what´s important is to live for the future.

I dwelled 600 years long in my past and made myself suffering useless pain, I thought that this way I might atone for the sins I had committed, but in the end it helped me nothing at all but to make me antisocial.

If light shall guide me, then I thankfully will reach out to it..., I always was said to stand between all four, Paradise, Inferno, Light and Darkness, if I ever succumb to one of these realms too much I would be bound to get overtaken again.

I trained myself in not feeling anything, to never succumb to hatred if my love would be gone, but this way I slowly was coming closer to the darkness in me.

The most difficult battle will surely be the one against my own self, but I am certain with you guys help I will be able to overcome also this hindrance.

So knowing all the things which happened to me, can you force yourself to stay at my side to help me, could you still do that?" I asked her.

"Of course, I once told you that I stay at your side no matter what and I will do that!" She stated with a hard and serious voice.

"Why do you care so much about me Sarin?" I asked her curious.

"... My grandmother once told me about you, she always believed you to be the best which ever happened to her, beside of her husband and my mother.

Mom told me the same thing, that you once helped her and that she never was able to repay you for your kindness.

She told me that if I ever would have the pleasure to meet you, I should help you as best as I could, in her place..., and now..., after meeting you, this was my thought too, I wanted to help you and to see you smile like to this time in your childhood!" She explained.

"I see!" I stated in thought.

"So you want to help me because you overtook this task from your grandmother and mother, and also out of your own wish..., geez you Uzumakis are always so quick at deciding things, this has also been so with Mito-san, Meiko-san and your Grandmother Honoka-san, guess it runs in the family!" I stated.

"Maybe, anyways, here we are!" She replied as we arrived in front of her door, I opened the door and went into her room, aiming to lay her on the bed.

A little I was embarrassed and I knew I was blushing, because I heard Sarin chuckling quietly.

"Can you sing a lullaby to me?" She suddenly asked as I was about to go back out..

"I´m going to wake Salia!" I stated, as I nodded over to the girl which laid in the other bed.

"No she wears ear-protection, right now a wrecking ball could break through the wall and she would not hear it..., pretty please!" She stated with quivering lip.

"... Geez, sure, if you insist!" I replied and sat myself next to her on the bed.

"I stand my ground, in death or glory

My soul is bound, fight as the holy

Across the sea, the seven kingdoms

A silver Queen arise to claim the throne

On the shores, of the ancient island

I see black mist, divided over the land

In the land cursed, by the darkest sorrow

God of Light here I stand

On our knees we will pray, to the holy one

And the winter shall come to an end

From the shore of the north

I will scream your name and fly

By my blood I will pay my allegiance and slay

Breaker of chains, I'm the war-born

When the fight has begun and the reaper has come

The last of the dragons will fight

By my blood

My revenge will be grim and evil

The 16 elements I command

When the stars will fall from heaven

Wildfire burns through my hand

On our knees we will pray to the holy one

And the winter shall come to an end

From the shore of the north

I will scream your name and fly

By my blood I will pay my allegiance and slay

Breaker of chains I'm the war-born

When the fight has begun and the reaper has come

The last of the dragons will fight

By my blood

By my blood

I stand my ground, in death or glory

My soul is bound, fight as the holy

Across the sea, the seven kingdoms

A silver Queen arise to claim the throne

Born out of flesh and bone, a storm in heaven

My fate, I walk alone and unite the seven

I'll ring with a firestorm my wings are broken

Our silver Queen arise to melt the storm

By my blood I will pay my allegiance and slay

Breaker of chains I'm the war-born

When the fight has begun and the reaper has come

The last of the dragons will fight

By my blood

By my blood

Our legions will slay

By my blood!"

(Original, Bloodbound: Stormborn)

I sang the old song my grandmother always sang to me, to teach me the old Prophecy in another way.

"It´s a nice but unusual song and not really a lullaby!" Sarin stated, though smiling weakly.

"You wanted a song though, I don´t know any normal lullabies, all which I ever heard other´s singing were either prophecies or songs about previous wars.

Anyways you better sleep now, tomorrow will be a hectic day, and we will have to meet some guests!" I explained.

"I see, just one question, who are the four persons or beings the song sings about, I mean the Silver queen, the War-born, the last of the Dragons and the God of Light and where are the seven Kingdoms!?" Sarin asked me.

"Sigh, alright let me explain it to you easy and clearly understandable:

The silver Queen must be the reference to the Sage of Light, which comes with the other ten Children to fight for humanity and the Planet´s survival against the demons, she is, whose light becomes stronger through the help of all the other elements, bringing us a golden era.

The War-born is me, so I see it at least, as I was literally reborn after the War, I became stronger and more experienced as you have seen.

The Last of the Dragons must surely be my master, the Wild-sage of Spirits, Lord Vidadrac, the Bochi no Yakei Ryu (Cemetery-guardian Dragon).

And the God of light might be the Deity, who once created our world and gave my folk the Power to manipulate the elements at will.

The Seven Kingdoms are logically the six main lands of the U.N.W, Hi no Kuni, Kaze no kuni, Tsuchi no Kuni, Mizu no Kuni, Kaminari no Kuni and Tetsu no Kuni.

The Last and seventh Land should have been Gensan no Kuni, (Land of Origin), but it's only a shadow of itself, so instead I created an own Land here in the Land of Mountains, hidden from the eyes of the world by the shield.

Fukkatsu no Kuni (Land of Rebirth), also called The Ark, Tamashī no Kuni (Land of Souls) or Isla Jura, it has momentarily no official Name.

It's the land, where the souls of the fallen assemble to be send to the afterlife and where Humanity will restart, if this Planet is doomed to be destroyed.

Anyways now it´s sleeping time, so stop popping questions out of nowhere, got it!" I stated and she nodded, tucking herself deep in her blanket.

"Well then Neherit, good night, sleep tight and have nice dreams!" She stated before she turned around, and scanned me feverish.

"What's the matter, is everything alright, did you caught a cold down in the Cave?" I asked concerned, as I looked at her heathen face, coming closer to check her temperature on her forehead.

"Goodnight!" She stated, as she suddenly jumped forward, kissed me on my cheek and turned quickly on the other side.

"G-goodnight!" I stammered while feeling my face heating up, I walked out of the room and closed the door before leaning on it, confused as well as feeling a bit uneasy.

"So does this means..., we´re dating now?" I asked myself a bit confused, as I walked back to my room, as said I never had a real relationship before so I was nervous and unexperienced.

I was tired and tomorrow we had much to do, the Kages and the others should wake back up in the late morning hours.

Remembering my past was surely a hard step to start my battle against my very self, I was about to be reborn and the way was bound to become even harder and stony.

At the end I will have to fight against Nidhog, to reclaim my body and to reseal him back in the sword, where he belongs.

"So much to do, I hope I have enough time!" I stated, as I walked into my room and closed the door behind me.

Part II: The night after: of unsure feelings, new hearts and talks about sex and love.

Part 1/ blessed or cursed, love like this.

Sarada´s Pov:

I could not truly believe what Bolt had told me, surely it sounded reasonable for someone like him, but it still was almost impossible for me to comprehend.

"This heart, which slays in me..., it´s to a half from Bolt!" I mumbled as I remembered what he said.

"The attack which you suffered under was ripping a hole through your chest and mine, destroying and pulverizing a portion of your heart and wounding mine as well.

You would have died, but I managed to speed-operate, with help of a Kagamibushin enforced with Kyūbiko's life-force, a piece of my heart out of my body, don´t ask me how I did that, I have no real recollections of it, because I fell unconscious shortly after.

All I could do was to hope for it to work, so I put my last efforts into linking and healing your heart with the piece of mine, even when I would have died through this, which I did..., according to Fushichō was I dead for 10 minutes.

Fushichō then, out of gratitude for saving his mother, sacrificed a piece of his own heart and completed my lost half with it.

So to say you are a half Uzumaki now, while I am half of a Phoenix, it though is a wonder that your body even accepted my heart piece!" I was shocked to say the least, as he told me the whole story.

I never would have guessed, but according to him, only Mom, his father, his mother, Lady Tsunade and Shizune-san know about this case, more or less.

As I asked how and where he learned to operate this way anyways, he stated that after the ambush 2 years ago, after he was back over the damn he asked Lady Tsunade to teach him in medical Ninjutsu, secretly, so that none of us get to know it.

At the Question of why we should not know it, he only answered that he learned it for doubling the chances in our 2 teams missions with Shikadai and the others, for having two medics would be better than having only one.

Not that Inojin didn´t tried to learn medical Ninjutsu from his mother, unfortunately was he not so versed in it, still he was acknowledged enough for healing his teammates during missions, on that they can fight without pain.

Although he was not so good in medical ninjutsu, had he a large knowledge about herbal healing, larger than I and Bolt might ever get.

Not for the last from asking Shikadai´s Clan for helping him with the learning, since Shikadai showed no motivation to even learn medical ninjutsu and thanks to his mother's pre-teaching of Flowers and herbs beforehand, it was rather easy for him to comprehend after getting the permission.

But for Bolt being able to already operate this way, after only a year of lessons was truly awesome, still it was risky and I bet he got a massive beating, more from Lady Tsunade than from mom I guess, I bet she was just happy I was alive.

But putting his own life on the line for saving mine..., it once again showed me of how much I am falling behind Bolt.

Even though he tries to shove me into light, I am always hiding in the shadow of his greatness.

"I have to get stronger too!" I mumbled as I remembered what else Bolt has told me.

"Through healing you with Kyūbiko's, as well as a phoenix´s healing force, you are connected to me and my soul, so as long as I live you can never die, and viseversa, and through receiving a phoenixes' heart-half, I am near immortal; which in clear text means you are too!" I heard his voice as I remembered it.

It was too much for me to comprehend..., I had to leave the same room, I needed some time for me alone, logically was I grateful to Bolt, thanks to him I was still alive, once again he saved me.

He told me that he asked his father for me to have my memories about this day erased, that´s why I could never remember on that day, nor the pain I had to go through.

Bolt trembled in fear of being rejected and hated by me, but all I could do was to kiss him on the cheek and to tell him to wait for me a bit.

Ever since, I was strolling through the corridors of the large villa.

Logically I had some company, Nekomata, who still was here in Konoha, was walking next to me, keeping me company as well as guarding me.

"The night is nice, finally, I admit I feel better as if in that forest before!" He stated.

"Sure, after all this is now sacred ground, purified by the forces of light from Lady Inari!" I explained.

"Yes..., the Foxes of light, the natural opposite of us Cats of the Dark...; that I ever would work with them together..., guess the old prophesies seem to become true then.

If this goes on, we soon will have a real Zoo, all the Wild sages and their protégées will gather together for leading the final battle!" he explained.

"7 children, near the same time, 10 have to be born, 10 Children, be the world´s spine, after 7 times of mourn!" Nekomata mumbled.

"What´s with that speech?" I asked.

"It's the old Prophecy from Gensan no Kuni, it was taught about it from my Father in his last moments of life, it speaks about the destined Children.

10 Children, each one chosen by an element and 7 of them shall be born near the same time, but it must be 10 of them, each leading a legion and all of this shall happen after the 7th war, which has been fought as the last war; which ended 600 years ago!" Nekomata stated.

"It seems to me as if Your boyfriend Bolt and his little sister, as well as you might be 3 of these 10 Children, the boy from the Mezakan clan must therefore be the 4th.

I bet he was there that time, in the last war!" Nekomata stated.

"Were you there?!" I asked.

"Yeah, still I was rather young back then, all I can still recall clearly was, that it was a really ugly affair back then, hordes of demons and possessed humans attacked the still sane humanity and our folks.

Most of us Wild-sages had to suffer many losses in their folks, so me too..., my father and mother died during that war while defending our folk!" Nekomata explained with a sorrowful voice, a voice full of pain and suppressed wrath. I felt really sorry for him, I put a hand on his head and he purred slow and steady.

"How did it came to a stop, what happened?" I asked him.

"I don´t know concrete details, all I know is that the legions of hell had been slaughtered single-handily by a small legion of Demon hunters from Gensan no Kuni, led by the strongest of them, a young man called Tir-Ehen.

As much as I know the ratio was 40:1 and still they managed to slay in the last 10 years of the war, over hundred Infernal Generals, the demon legion-leaders.

However shortly after the war, Tir-Ehen vanished for the rest of these years until today without a trace.

No one knows what happened to him, but it´s said that he is resting and training somewhere, for when the next war shall come, to be prepared to lead humanity again!" He explained.

"I see, Tir-Ehen..., this sound almost like Neherit though, at least his Name on reverse!" I stated as I mused about it.

"..., no way, he cannot be that man, I mean he´s probably, from the look of it, only as old as Bolt and me!" I stated.

"That wouldn´t be so surprising though, this boy is definitely a Mezakan, if he can summon the gates of the Goshō no shi keiro (four paths of the afterlife), so he might be far older than you expect, as you know are Uzumakis very vital and long-living, they can be 100 years old and still look like only 60-70 years.

The Mezakan Clan, as well as the Senju Clan, both once have formed the Uzumaki Clan, they are the result of the collaboration of two of the strongest Clans alive.

Still the Mezakan Clan is far younger than most people might think.

They have maintained the forces of Spirits since about 100.000 years.

Characteristic at them, is that the Bloodline of the leaders tend to have the animal affinity of Crows, while the rest of the Clan has mixed animal affinities!" Nekomata explained.

"What do you mean by that, Animal affinity?!" I asked confused.

"Spiritus familiaris, also called Totem, each human has once been an animal before in one of their various former lives, or is guarded by one as a guardian spirit, so are the believes of the Wild-sages in the old times.

You had been some kind of cat for example, so it was maybe not only a coincidence that you became a sage of the Cats in the end.

Most humans are more comfortable in the company of animals, which are resembling their totem.

Be it for Cats, they are likely in the company of tigers, Ninekos, lynxes or even lions, as far as they can be tamed though.

For Dogs on the other hand, you have Ninkens, wolfs, foxes and jackals.

Even though jackals of Inferno are not well seen anymore, ever since they started their war against the Rabbits of Paradise, which spiraled the world into chaos and killed almost all life on the planet.

In the end the forces of those two realms were entrusted to the Dragons of Purgatory.

So it are not only normal animals you can have as a Totem.

Even those beings the humans are holding for fantasy and legends, like Phoenixes, Griffons, Harpies, Dragons and so on.

Rarely there also are humans with two or more animal affinities, such as the Hokage, this Naruto Uzumaki, he seems to have his totems in Fox and Toad, perhaps because of being born in the blood line of a Jinnchuriki of the Kyuubi and being made to a sage by the Toads.

But also your friend, this Bolt-boy, he is one with the rarest of all cases, as having the affinity to not only Foxes and Toads, but also to Phoenixes.

Two normal and one special affinity so to say!" Nekomata explained to me, while we sat down on the balcony of the villa.

"However the Crows, as I told you earlier, as being the main affinity of the Mezakan Clan, are even more special, for they are able to bond with every other totem-animal, regardless their races.

For being beings of twilight, they stand between light and darkness and so also between the sacred elements and the chaos-elements!" Nekomata told me.

"Chaos-elements..., what´s that supposed to be?" I asked curious, most of what I was told by Nekomata, I had never heard about before, nor did I read about it, and I read about all book in the Bibliotheca so far.

"Each element has a good and a bad side, fire for example can give you warmth, comfortability and light in form of a controlled fire..., however it also can bring suffering, death and destruction, if it is unbound.

Same goes for all other element.

As you might know are the forces of either light or Darkness created out of all elements mixed together and the way how they are used.

If counted completely, then there are actually 16 known Elements:

the main five elements, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth and Water.

Then the 5 combined elements, consisting out of 2 Chakra-natures:

Ice, made out of Wind and Water, Wood, made out of Earth and Water, Storm made out of Lightning and Water.

Lava, made of Earth and Fire; Dust, made out of Earth and Wind.

The special combinations, Chakra-natures created out of unusual combos and extremely, if not impossible, to master:

Boil, made out of Fire and Water, Crystal, made out of Earth and Lightning, Heat, made out of Wind and Fire.

Also the newly-created Chakra-nature, Thunderstorm, your Lightning Chakra in collaboration of Bolt´s Wind chakra, can be counted to these special combinations as well.

Pyrostatic, made out of Fire and Lightning, massively strong and difficult combination, only sages of Fire were ever able to learn these forces.

If I should guess, then I would say you Boyfriend has learned his Pyrostatic jutsus, with which he has attacked the legion, through his association with Fushichō, the Wild-Sage of Fire.

If you want I can show you a few of my Jutsus!" Nekomata stated.

"I would love that, thank you for considering to teach me!" I stated politely.

Yes and then are there the Master Combinations, combos which only High-sages and Wild-sages are able to use.

For now are only 2 forces Known to me.

Blaze, or also called the Inferno style, a combination out of Chaos-Fire and lightning means, Fire spiced with a portion of Darkness. A force which normally only the Jackals of Inferno were able to use.

That your father can use them is very surprising though; I guess Indra Otsutsuki must have walked over towards the last remaining and hiding Jackal-sages before creating the Uchiha clan.

Sunfire, also known as Sacred Fire-style, a combination out of Sacred-Fire and wind, means Fire mixed with a portion of light, only used by the Phoenixes of the Skyfire-valley and the Foxes of Light.

Though the latter can only use it through combining the forces, the Phoenixes however are able to convert Sunlight to Sunfire in their bodies!" Nekomata explained.

"If one adds both forces, Light and Darkness, together in a symbiosis, one creates the forces of twilight, the Balance, a force stronger than both but also more dangerous and impossible to learn without an extra durable body, for one has to create and combine all 5 elements at once.

Those who can control this force simultaneously we call Sages of the Balance.

After the two dragon-clans, The Inferno- and the Paradise-dragons, failed as well, similar to how the Rabbits and the Jackals ended up in a fierce war against the own kind, the crows of twilight had been entrusted by all the other Wild-Sages, to guard the forces of Paradise and Inferno together, creating Purgatory, the realm of reward and punishment.

To the forces of twilight added now also the force of controlling souls and so the force to create life itself in every element, as well as controlling the four paths of the afterlife.

The Sages of Balance became the master of Life, being soon known as the ferrymen of Souls and creating out of good souls so called Natural Spirits, who help the humans to maintain life on the planet.

Most of the Nature-spirits we know, have been created by members of these Sages in old times.

Giving life to unanimated objects or inorganic beings, such as Fire and Lightning, is called the Soul-style, a force with which one also is able to manipulate Senjutsu directly in the Nature itself, rather than first absorbing it, kneading it and then releasing it.

One also, thanks to this, has no real need for Fingersigns.

One only has to visualize the own actions before the inner eye, to be able to create them.

Those who manage to master this force, we call the Sages of Spirits, however to learn all this, must surely last at least half a millennium!" Nekomata stated.

"So you mean the Sage of Six paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki himself has been a Sage of Spirits as well, I mean he managed to create the Bijuu by dividing the Juubi´s chakra and giving each a life and a soul?" I asked.

"Indeed although he only learned it shortly before he died.

And still he only managed to create life in chakra, while a real Sage of spirits is able to create life, true and lasting life, in existing elements, like into wood, ice etc.!" Nekomata replied.

"I see!" I stated.

"Well I guess this should be all for tonight, I am quite tired, from the Battle and the long speech and I have to go back home anyways, I have to watch over the little ones!" he stated.

"The little ones?" I asked.

"The Nekotsuki gang has gotten a bit of additions, they have been ordered by my daughter to make sure that I have some company and not be so lonely in my den and I am to take care and teach them, most of them were orphans which parents died since the last years, some of them also through my very own hands!" Nekomata stated and his head descended in deep sorrow.

"Seeing this spirit being made evil..., it reminded me on how I felt after you defeated me and released me out of Kuro-Z´s control..., unbelieving of what I have done the whole time, like waking from a nightmare and then suddenly have to realize that it all became real and that you had no control over yourself..., still almost nothing you do can ever make up for all those deaths you brought, while being controlled!" Nekomata explained in sorrow.

"Anyways I will see you again, I bet on that, by the next time I will begin to train you in some Jutsus I have created..., if you really are the Sage of Darkness, then it is my duty to at least prepare you for the next war, same as Fushichō and Inari will do it with their protégées, until then, goodbye!" he said.

"Goodbye, thank you for your help, now and in future, and greet the others from me!" I replied.

"Will do, Sayonara Sarada-san!" he stated, as he vanished in a cloud of dust.

"...is he away?" I suddenly heard a shy voice.

"Chouchou, what´s the matter?" I asked as I recognized my friend to come to me, she looked around in suspicion and tiptoed towards me.

"Geez that guys so scary, I mean all these teethes on display, how can you not be freaked out by him..., anyways I wanted to speak with you the whole evening ,but I didn´t dared to get near your animal partner, I was afraid he mistakes me with a snack!" Chouchou stated and I sweat dropped.

"He´s a cat Chouchou, not a shark!" I scolded her.

"Yeah a giant cat, with a sick grin and way too much teethes!" Chouchou stated shuddering in fear.

"Geez anyways what did you wanted to talk about?" I asked her.

"Well I wanted to ask you how your evening with Bolt was, at least before you had been attacked?!" Chouchou asked with a toothy smile, while I only face palmed.

A gossip girl as she lives and breathes.

"Geeez...,well it was a nice evening I would say!" I replied but she didn´t bought it at all.

"Do I have to pop the question or do you speak freely?" She only asked with narrowed eyes.

"Okay, okay, it was downright heavenly!" I stated.

"That's more what I want to hear, tell me everything, every single, little, dirty detail!" Chouchou stated.

"Geez Chouchou, that's private you know, I mean I don't ask you about your sexual life or am I!?" I stated.

"So you admit you have a sexual life, means you and Bolt did it didn´t you?" She asked me and I could beat myself up.

"Geez..., goddammit, that's nothing you have to know Chouchou, so stop digging further about this got it?

Whether I had sex with Bolt or not, does not concern you!" I stated with an angry expression.

"Gasp, you had sex with Bolt!?" I heard it behind us, to see Senpou and Himawari walking up to us.

I face palmed yet again, in both anger and embarrassment.

"Geez okay, yes I had, shortly before this..., this tree-thing attacked us!" I explained blushing deep red.

"Geez, that's so embarrassing, why do I have to tell you guys!" I stated whining.

"Oh c´mon it´s only natural that Boy and Girl do it once in a while, especially while knowing they could die at every moment!" Chouchou stated.

"Oh if you know this so well, tell me, have you done it with Shikadai as you intended?" I asked her.

"well..., uhm..., yeah!" She only stated blushing.

"And...?" I asked, digging further.

"Geeez it was wonderfully okay, I never felt something similar!" She stated annoyed.

"Geez you girls are really crazy!" Senpou stated shaking her head.

"Well tell me what did you guys do after you were alone?" We asked in unison.

"Well we wandered over the festival till late evening, bought one ice cream, soda and Cotton-Candy and ate and drank it together!" She stated.

"I see, well, you probably should take it easy, since you guys only started dating 2 weeks ago!" I stated.

"As if you are one to talk, you and Bolt, you guys started only the day before!" Senpou stated annoyed.

"Theoretically did we started to date already two years ago, during the Starlight festival back then, we confessed that time, but due to that incident back then Bolt lost his memories and I wanted to become stronger for his sake.

So we might be a pair officially only since tonight, but we had already loved each other and confessed since long time ago.

I admit, it is an unusual love which Bolt and I have, but still, we had many Hardships to overcome to even get so far, first the thing with the festival then the Phoenix-case, Dad´s trial and now this shitty night here.

I think we deserved to love each other like we want to, without anyone telling us off, or trying to give us a lecture of moral!" I stated.

"Well you are right after all, and I mean no one´s going to complain when Bolt´s rutting you behind the Uzumaki mask storage, especially backdoor-style!" Himawari stated, before covering her mouth in shock.

"Wait hold on a fucking second, how do you..., no way..., you dirty little girl..., you spied on us right, admit it, you did it, didn´t you!?" I stated with annoyance and anger, as well as deep embarrassment and a little sense of Payback.

"Uhmm, well I guess I would lie, when I tell you I didn´t!" Himawari stated bluntly.

"Geez, why did you do that, that's so embarrassing, being spied on, by his sister, while making love to my boyfriend..., wait a sec, how long have you watched us?" I asked in horror.

"Oh no what if she saw the blowjob and the titjob I gave Bolt, what kind of ideas does it might give her now..., I have to warn Katsuo to be careful!" I thought.

"Well mostly anything, you got some interesting skills there!" Himawari stated shamelessly.

"OH NOOOOOO!" I shouted in agony and shame.

"Guys go to bed already, you might will have a rough day tomorrow!" We heard it behind us, the voice of Karin-san.

"In a minute!" We stated.

"What do you think, will the rest of the exam being postponed again!" Chouchou stated, finally changing the topic.

"Dunno, Bolt fears that it might come down to this, or worse that the rest of the matches will be canceled!" I stated.

"I hope they won't, I still have a chicken to rip with Mitsuki, I will stomping him into the ground for treating you so badly!" Chouchou stated with a murderous glance.

"Yeah I too don´t wish the exams to be cancelled I still want to fight against you Sarada and Chouchou, to prove which of us girls is stronger!" Senpou stated.

"Yes that too, and I won't like it to not be able to show Naruto-sama my skills, I want him to be proud of Bolt and me, he shall know that I will become strong for the village, to protect everyone and to support the next Hokage after Konohamaru-Sensei, Bolt!" I stated, fist raised in determination.

"I think he already knows that though!" Senpou stated sweat-dropping.

"Maybe but I will become even stronger, I want to become the strongest Hokage´s wife, so I cannot be weak, if I want him to not be ashamed of me!" I replied.

"That would hardly ever happen I would say, Bolt is not that kind of guy who only looks for strenght and power under his allies and friends.

He reads your heart before deciding whether he becomes your friend or not, I think this has been so ever since that whole case with Mitsuki!" We heard a male voice stating.

We looked to see Shikadai and Inojin walking up to us.

"He always said that he does have a bad feeling whenever he was in Mitsuki's surrounding, but he never seemed to know that it came from Mitsuki himself, until that day back then, years ago.

Ever since he is careful with choosing his friends!" Inojin stated.

"I See, I guess that's why he does not really trust Akihito-san yet!" I stated.

It was kind of an awkward situation as we met Karin-san´s son, so shortly after having defeated a wooden golem and escaped a deathtrap.

He still was a little weak from suffering under the life-force drain abilities of the Trees, so we only saw him shortly as his mother brought him here.

But he seemed nice though.

Also Dad´s old comrades, Suigetsu-san and Yugo-san were quite suspicious to me, I remember to have seen them from the photos of dad in our house and from the memories Bolt and I dived into.

All in all we were far more at guard tonight than before, always counting with a new attack, although Bolt stated that we do not have to fear a new attack from the Hyuuga-clan, I hope he´s right there.

"By the way where are Bolt and Katsuo?" I asked them.

"They are waiting for their parents to return!" Shikadai answered.

"I see, well it is already 3´oclock in the morning, guess we better go to sleep now!" I Stated.

"That would be much appreciated!" We heard Karin stating in annoyance.

"Geez, yeah, yeah!" I stated.

"Are you trying to pick a fight or what, one time yeah is enough!" Karin replied enraged.

"We got it okay and stop talking as if you were my mother!" I said.

"I would be ashamed to have such a daughter with bad manners!" She stated.

"Oh shut up you old Hag, you know nothing about Sarada and us, so don´t think you could act like some authority here, you are merely a guest!" Chouchou spat in disgust.

"Missy I tell you this one time, shut your trap or it gives a set of hot ears!" Karin-san replied calmly, dangerously calmly to be honest.

"Oh yeah, bring it on then!" Chouchou stated, going in stance ready to bitchslap Karin-san.

"Well you asked for it!" Karin-san stated as she walked out of the room and aimed right for Chouchou, who prepared to beat Karin-san away.

"Prepare yourself!" She shouted as she rushed and appeared a second later right before Chouchou, too fast for her to react.

"Let me teach you a lesson!" She said, her hand ready to slap Chouchou.

On last second Karin-san paralyzed frozen in her movement, same as Chouchou.

"Would you please mind to not let your wrath out on us, we cannot anything for the circumstance that happened to your sun and Boyfriend.

Chouchou you should learn to respect the wishes of elder people, if they want to sleep, then let them sleep!" Shikadai stated lazily, having caught them both in his Kagemane no Jutsu.

"And would you guys please refrain yourselves from destroying the villa due to some dumb arguments.

In this villa we only fight for training or if it is really necessary!" Another voice stated, as we saw Konohamaru-sensei, Hanabi-san, Mom and Dad walking up on us.

Bolt and Katsuo were right behind them.

"Mom, Dad it´s nice to see you, where have you been so long?" I asked.

"We had to take care of some unfinished business, darling, but now we are all good.

Your Father is going to take you guys home, I will go towards the lazarette to see if there are still injured people and if they need my help, if not I will come home soon!" Mom stated, kissing me and Katsuo on our foreheads, ruffling Bolt and Himawari´s hair.

"Mom..., after all of this is finished, I have to ask you something important!" I whispered.

"... I know, and I will answer all questions I can to you, you have my word!" Mom replied before winking to us all, before vanishing in the direction of the town's center.

"Alright, well guess that means goodbye for tonight, have a good night, sleep tight, and we probably see each other tomorrow!" I stated, as I embraced the girls and fist bumped the boys, before embracing and kissing Bolt.

"I see you tomorrow honey, have a nice dream about me!" I stated seductively before kissing him right before the eyes of my Dad, I saw how he grit his teethes and clenched his fists, but he knew better than to interrupt me.

"I will dream of you..., and all the things we still are going to do!" Bolt whispered in my ear and I blushed deep red.

"Sarada, Katsuo, let´s go!" I heard Dad saying, as I leaned my head on Bolt´s chest, taking in his breathtaking scent, out of the corners of my eyes, I saw how Himawari kissed Katsuo on the cheek and whispered something in his ears, to which he paled before gulping and kissing her back.

"Guess there have two found each other!" I chuckled, as I turned around.

I saw Dad flashing an angry glance at Bolt and Himawari, before we ran over the street back home, I was sure Bolt would text me tonight anyways.

"Tomorrow is bound to get ugly, if I think about what probably has happened in the last few Hours!" I stated having long thought about what Bolt meant.

And only one thing came in my mind..., the Hyuuga Clan was bound to undergo a drastic change.

And it was surely going to be ugly.

Part 2: Bonus Story in-between/ Mirror-world Chronicle 1: It´s not easy being the mature one, strange confessions, mission into the unknown.

Meanwhile in Kagamigakure, Sanaruko `Sana´ Uzumaki´s Pov:

It was a normal sunny summer day in Kagamigakure, the birds sang, the bees flew and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Everything seemed to be perfect.

"Baaaaaaaammmmm!" Suddenly a loud noise shook me out of bed.

"Uaaaaahhhh..., ooow!" I shouted as I fell, face forward obviously, out of my bed.

"Dammit, what´s going on, are we under attack?!" I asked groggily, as I wiped the sleep out of my eyes.

I looked out of my window only to see thick black smoke, coming from downstairs out of the window.

"Oh no, oh no, you didn´t...!" I thought, as I stormed down the stairs, still only dressed in my pajama.

I had a pretty good idea what was going on, and I knew it would not suit me in the slightest.

I took a sharp turn around the corner, smelling burnt wood, plastic and skin, only to arrive at the most gruesome battlefield the world had ever seen.

I stood in a burned crater, which once has been our kitchen.

"Aaaaah geez!" I heard it coming out of a rubble of wood, which once has been our cupboards.

"What the hell happened?" A groggy voice stated, as my mother emerged out of the pile.

"Mom..., are you okay!" I asked my mother, Hinata Hyuuga, concerned.

"Yeah, more or less!" Mom only replied.

"Good..., sigh..., what have you done..., what the hell have you done with the kitchen?" I asked, anger and wrath nagging at me, to be released, my hands were clenched to shaking fists, ready to punch her over the back of her head.

Why was she so damn careless all the time?

"Stupid cooker was broken..., no matter how long I turned it on, it just didn´t went hot..., so I thought I would heat my ramen with a fire jutsu!" mom simply stated groggily.

"...Are you an idiot?" I asked face palming.

"What the..., watch your mouth missy!" Mom tried to lecture me.

"Oh i´m sorry but I truly thought that I told you already, that this is a gas-cooker, so using a flame jutsu while turning up the gas is not the best thing to do!" I stated sarcastically, before sighing.

"Geez are you even aware of your luck, you could have died, less burn the whole damn house to the ground, killing me with you.

Didn´t I told you to stay out of the Kitchen for god´s sake!" I stated, as I walked through the kitchen and tried to save what still could be saved.

"Oh c´mon i´m not that bad of a cook!" Mom stated.

"Maybe, but ever since we live here in this new house, you constantly destroy expensive machines in here, last week you killed the microwave, the week before the refrigerator and now you managed to not only destroy half of the kitchen, but to even blow a hole right into our house.

I told you a million times, as long as you have no idea what to do in here, leave things to me, especially in the kitchen!" I lectured my own mom with loud voice.

"I´m sorry!" she only said submissive, the normally so tuff woman was suddenly as tiny as a cockroach.

"You better damn be, geeez this is going to be a pain in the ass to clean and it will surely get expensive to repair and buy new material!" I stated..., I knew mom was sorry but her housekeeping skills didn´t get any better.

Since she had been born as a spoiled Hyuuga princess she never needed to care about anything, therefore knowing close to nothing about housekeeping..., and now ever since we live on our own, here in the Hikarikage Villa, she constantly caused catastrophes above our home.

"I´m sorry Sana-chan!" Mom stated, as she walked up to me and embraced me.

"Yeah I know, still you going to help me to clean this mess up, got it!" I stated and I felt her nodding.

"Sanaruko!" I heard a voice coming from Outside.

"Huh, Kosuke, what´s the matter?" I asked my teammate Kosuke Uchiha, from out of the burned hole.

"Why do you have..., never mind, anyways, we got a mission, you shall come to the Hikarikage´s office, ASAP!" He shouted upwards.

"I´m coming, give me 10 minutes!" I shouted back.

"Dammit why now..., okay, just leave things as they are Mom, I will clean it all up later and while I am gone, try not to burn the house down or hurt you in anyway, got it?" I said to mom who saluted.

"Your wish is my order mistress!"

"Geez..., what a great way to start the day!" I mumbled sarcastic as I walked back in my room.

A few minutes later I was done and stormed out of the house.

"I´m off, keep the house safe and the Church in town, while i´m gone and don´t blow it up or else I will have to punish you!" I shouted to my mother through the hole.

"Will do so honey!" She stated and I ran out of the large garden.

"Hey Kosuke, good morning, so tell me, what's up?" I asked him, he honestly always remembered me on his uncle Sasuke-san, more from the looks than the attitude thought, but he had only minor resemblance with his actual father Itachi-san, guess there might have been something wrong in his family, some secrets no one should know...

Well who am I to judge or question him about his family, I had my own problems with mine.

"Well that´s rather my question?" Kosuke stated as he scanned the large hole in our house.

"Long story short, my mother blew the house up again while trying to cook..., anyways we better get Sakurai, I bet he still sleeps!" I stated.

"S-sure..., you look good today by the way!" He stated..., something was definitely off, Kosuke blushed and he almost never blushed, as long as I know him at least.

"W-well thank you...!" I stated a little embarrassed, playing with one of my locks.

"Anyways let´s go!" I stated and dragged him along to our other teammate´s House, Sakurai Haruno, Kosuke´s Cousin.

While Kosuke was the Child of Itachi-san and Konan-san, was Sakurai the Child of Sakura-san and Sasuke-san.

"You don´t honestly think that you are hotter than me, Inori!" We heard it already from afar.

"Geez guess the two of them are fighting again!" I stated sweat-dropping.

We turned around the corner only to see already a mob having surrounded both opponents.

"I don´t believe these guys, every single morning the same bullshit!" I stated face-palming in sheer annoyance.

"Honestly, I actually think i´m way too hot for you to ever reach me, my dear Sakurai!" Inori stated, eyes blazing in furry and a sinister smirk on his face.

"Geez you two, would you please cut it out!" I stated as I arrived seeing both Inori and Sakurai half naked, being surrounded by Girls, while posing and showing off their muscles.

The girls, which all were parted in two parties, each rooting for their favorite, screamed and laughed at an ear deafening volume.

"Sanaruko, the girl I need!" both stated in unison, as they spotted me.

"Tell us my dear, who´s hotter!" They said, while showing off and posing before me, I only stared with a blank expression, I already always saw my Dad walking around half naked at home, when he has days off, so the sight didn´t faced me one bit.

"... hmmm..., hmmmm..., I´m sorry guy but I cannot decide..., and besides, it´s obvious that (Oiroke no Jutsu!) I am definitely the hottest here!" I stated, as I transformed in my gender-bend form. (Shirtless version of Naruto during Shippuden and the waterfall training)

"Kyyyyyaaaaaaaahhhh!" The girls all fell in perfect sync, nose-bleeding to death with hearts in their eyes, before I transformed back.

"Anyways, let´s cut this crap, Sakurai we got a mission, you have no time for a public Strip-tease, so for god´s sake please put your shirt back on and then we go!" I stated.

"Geez you are a fun killer you know!" Sakurai stated lamely, while gathering his shirt.

"You know I am too sexy for my Shirt!" he stated.

"Geez I will not lose the next time, not that it wasn´t a draw today..., just you wait Sakurai..., and you missy, you might be too hot for your own good, but I will also not lose against you.

I bet if I had some of these and a slimmer figure, I would beat you in a sec,...by the way, you are rather cute and you have big melons..., why won´t you become my girlfriend, this way we can beat Sakurai for sure!" Inori stated as he groped my Breasts.

"Hahaha, maybe, but until then...; GO TO HELL!" I shouted, as I punched him to the moon, I had not much time to feel embarrassed though.

I was only angry, after all I was my mother´s child so I knew how to play with my charm and not too less for feeling embarrassed about this.

However I never allowed anyone, to ever grope me like this.

"That idiot never learns, he just has no chance against our cute Sanaruko-chan and besides, it's only obvious that you will be my Girlfriend, am I right?!" Sakurai stated, as he put on his shirt again and put an arm around me.

"Well you don´t need to speak from idiots here, aren´t you but the same!" I stated enraged, punching him a nice bulge on the head.

"Oww that hurts!" He stated.

"Don´t be such a pussy, geez i´m surrounded by idiots!" I stated enraged.

"By the way, I don't mean you Kosuke, you are fairly normal, compared to these idiots!" I stated, making things clear.

"T-thanks!" He stammered blushing.

"Geez what´s wrong with him, he´s blushing whenever he looks at me..., by the way he´s looking constantly at me..., wait hold on one second..., don´t tell me he´s..., no way, or could it be?

I hope not, I had enough of weirdness for the whole day!" I thought

"Anyways let´s get going!" I stated, as I took the hands of Kosuke and Sakurai and speed ran towards my Father´s office.

Unbeknownst to me I was watched by curious eyes and a strong blush.

"Sanaruko-chan...!" the voice in the shadow stated flustered, before it vanished.

After a few moments we arrived at the office of the Town Leader and approved strongest Ninja, who just happened to be my Father, Menma Uzumaki, the Hikarikage.

He became the Hikarikage five years ago, after Lady Tsunade, the fifth Hikarikage, had retired.

She became Hikarikage, after Sakura-san´s father, the fourth, which fought once against the Kuro Kyuubi and survived but got severely wounded, landing in a wheelchair.

The Kuro Kyuubi had to find a new host after the old one died and it was looked throughout the land but eventually they found the new Jinnchuriki in Menma Uzumaki, my father, a young prodigy, the only one who was excited to become Jinnchuriki, and wanted to befriend the Kuro Kyuubi.

He always had been a little strange but he always fought for the safety of the village, so no one stated anything against him.

In the end he was seen as the only suitable person to become the Jinnchuriki and ever since he became the strongest Ninja of Kagamigakure.

And I was his daughter having inherited not only the Byakugan from my mother, but also a bit of the Force of the Kyuubi, I had still until now only five Tails unlocked, which I could handle without running berserk.

And now he was sitting here in front of me, fixating us from behind his desk.

Next to him sat Chouji-san, his advisor and Bodyguard and like the coincidence wants it, also the Father of Inori.

It was a true riddle to me how the personality of the strong and confident Chouji-san and the shy and reserved Ino-san could create the poser and playboy Inori, something must have gone terribly wrong during his birth.

By Sakurai I could imagine it, since his father had been the biggest Playboy of his generation, but Chouji was neither a Playboy, nor did he ever intended to ever googling after other women, when he already loves Ino-san over everything.

"Hikarikage we are here!" I stated to my father.

"Good, good just wait a second, there is another team coming which accompanies you guys!" Dad stated.

"Hikarikage-sama, we are sorry for the wait...!"

"...We were on the search, to find our teammate!" familiar voices stated and rimed like always.

It were the unmistakable voices of the Inuzuka twins, Kiba-san and Tenten-san´s Children, Marui and Sarui Inuzuka.

"I´m sorry for causing trouble!" Another voice stated and in came no one else but...

"Hinoto-kun, well what a nice surprise, I haven't seen you since a long time!" I stated to my cousin, Hinoto Hyuuga, the son of my Aunt Hanabi, Mom´s elder sister and Konohamaru-san.

He was however nothing like his Father, but more like his mother, shy and reserved, even more than Ino-san and still fierce in battle.

I used to play with him every day in our childhood.

But he was bound to become the next heir of the Hyuuga-clan so in the last few Years he had no time for hanging around.

"Yeah i´m sorry, they really needed my Byakugan, otherwise I would not even have been allowed by Grandfather to come!" Hinoto stated, shyly.

"Anyways now that you all have assembled, I will tell you your mission.

Its about finding the daughter of the Daimyo of the land of fire, the Young lady Kayori, she has been assumedly kidnapped, we are not sure about it, however she is gone since 2 days by now.

Your mission is to get her trace, to follow it, to find her and, if necessary, beat all opponents, and bring her home safely.

This is a B-rank mission and you should not have much problems with it, still to make sure everything goes alright Minato-San, Kushina-san and Sheena-san will go with you guys.

The Daimyo has given us one of his daughters dresses to get the trace of her, anyways if there are no more question, please get on the way instantly, we have no time to lose!" The Hikarikage stated.

And so we nodded and rushed out of the office, Oblivious about what really was behind this mission.

"Alright guys this is serious we have to hurry, so get all necessary things and then we go, we will meet in a half hour at the gate got it.

I have been made to the leader of this mission so everyone listens to me, if I shall be unable to give orders my wife Kushina takes the lead and if we both are out then Sheena-san, got this, okay, then let's go!" Grandpa stated.

And so I rushed, together with Hinoto and Kosuke, who happened to live in the same direction back home.

"Okay guys, I see you later!" Hinoto stated.

"Uhm, before we part, Sanaruko-chan it´s really nice to see you again, and, well..., I look really forward to work with you..., also..., after this mission..., I have to tell you something!" Hinoto stated after many hesitating minutes.

I blushed deep red, was he thinking about what I thought

"S-s-sure thing, o-of course..., well see you at the gate, Hinoto-kun!" I replied, kissing his cheek, to which he blushed. Same as me.

"Th-thanks, Sanaruko-chan!" He stated before he turned around.

I watched as he walked away.

"You and him..., are you..., you know?" I heard it coming from right next to me, I looked to see Kosuke´s worried and jealousy stricken expression.

"No..., Hinoto is for me like a little brother, I always played with him and watched out for him, although he often said that he liked me, but I guess that was more meant, due to me being there for him, when it was all too much for him and he also mostly said it when we were kids!" I stated.

"By the way, why do you ask?" I asked him suspicious.

"Because I am..., sigh, never mind, we should hurry!" he stated before he was about to leave.

"Sana?!" he stated, his back turned to me.

"Huh what´s up?" I asked.

"Inori-san..., Sakurai-san..., Hinoto-san..., they are not the only ones who like you, I just wanted you to know that..., i´m always there for you, so please, stay save, I will wait for you okay!" Kosuke stated, before he vanished.

"... Wait; what..., hold on a second..., was this..., a Confession?" I mumbled confused and embarrassed, I never knew I was so popular with the guys.

And I never got four Confessions in one day, well three but I was sure Hinoto wanted to confess to me as well.

"hmmmm, Who should I pick if it comes down to this?" I thought as I walked back home.

Meanwhile in the Hikarikage office, Menma´s Pov:

"Moegi, lease go get my wife and afterwards you guys can get yourself a free day!" I stated to my co-workers and subordinates.

"Will be done Hikarikage!" She and Chouji stated, before Moegi vanished.

"You can go home Chouji I will needing your help no more for today, go get to your son and train a bit with him, he has had an awful lot of fun lately, as much as Sana always tells me!" I stated.

"Sure thing, he has to learn that it is not always the looks, which are counting, and that all what glitters ain't gold!" Chouji stated, stretching, before giving me a thumb up.

"Well see you tommorrow then!" He said.

"Yeah, see you later!" I stated as he walked out of the door, as Moegi and Hinata just arrived.

"Alright what´s the matter Menma, if it´s about the hole in our house..., I can explain that..., you know I thought the cooker was...!" my wife started.

"Moegi-san would you please let me speak under four eyes with my wife, you can go home and meet up with Udon if you want to!" I stated as I saw that my assistant was still in the room.

"Sure thing, Boss..., I-I mean Hikarikage!" She stated, before she walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Menma what´s this all about?" Hinata asked worried.

"I got a message yesterday, the time has come!" I only stated.

"You mean..., shall we really..., I mean we can die there..., who knows what will await us?" Hinata stated afraid.

"I know you are scared, but it is as the prophecy tells, if we do not help the one, who´s soul has created our world, all we know will vanish.

We have to make sure he survives this war, if not, your sister, your father, your entire clan and all the friends we have, everyone is going to die!" I explained to her.

"I..., I understand!" She stated submissive before she leaned on me.

"It does not suits me to be so weak in my decision, but going into a whole new world to fight a war we likely might never return from, it´s scaring me!" Hinata stated in terror and sorrow, besides being a tuff woman, was she really soft under the surface, a typical Tsundere after all.

"I know it does, i´m scared too, but we have to stay strong, if we are terrorized yet, then our world is as good as doomed.

The Messenger of the Mezakan-Clan, explained it to me.

As soon as we walk out of the village, a Genjutsu gets casted on the rest of the world, which lives forth, forgetting our existence, so long until we come back!" I stated.

"But what world is that?" She asked me.

"The world of the man, which soul has created ours, a man called Naruto Uzumaki, apparently he shall be the counterpart of myself, so it´s likely that he too holds a Bijuu in himself.

If I wouldn´t know I never met him before, I would think i´m crazy, because even though I do not know him, there is something familiar in his name, somewhere I heard it before, but I cannot remember where!" I stated.

"I see, anyways I hope it all works out in the end, well then, let´s go!" Hinata stated.

"Yeah let´s go!" I stated, as I took her hand and teleported to our location.

After a few hours, Sana´s Pov:

After meeting up on the gate we traveled on a fast pace towards our search point.

I had an awkward feeling, thanks to Sakurai, Hinoto and Kosuke, and their more or less awkward confessions was still confusing me and it was a bit hard to focus on my task.

Still I was a professional, I have to maintain a clear and cool head.

We arrived at the place, where the Daughter of the Daimyo has been seen last, we were rather far from Konohagakure.

"Well then time to get this done!" Sheena Senju, my sempai stated.

She was the daughter of our old Hikarikage, Lady Tsunade and the deceased Sennin and fellow Sannin Jiraiya.

"Sure, well then Yuuka, Yaz, it´s all up to you guys now...!"

"...Time to shine and take the Spotlight now!" Marui and Sarui Inuzuka stated in sync.

"Leave it to us!" Yuuka and Yaz stated.

Both sniffed on the dress and then on the ground.

"I got it!" Yaz stated after a while and continued to sniff on the ground.

"me too!" Yuuka stated.

"Good dogs!" I stated, crawling both behind their ears.

"Are there any other smell-traces?" Grandma asked the little Junior Ninken.

"No actually not!" Yuuka said.

"Alright let´s follow it!" Grandpa stated.

And so we followed a trace into the unknown, oblivious of what is going to happen to us.

A Few days later:

Since good a week we had now followed the trace of Lady Kayori and it lead us far away from hi no Kuni, in the land of Lakes and what we saw now before us, was unbelievable.

"...What is this...?" I asked Kosuke, upon scanning our target with my Byakugan

"No idea, I never saw such a building before!" he answered.

We stood before a valley, upon a hill, looking over to a mountain, on which a strange building was located.

"Are you guys sure she is in there?" I asked.

"Definitely, the odor of Lady Kayori´s trace gets stronger the closer we come to this mountain, so whatever this building is, it's definitely the kidnappers´ location!" Yaz replied.

"I see, well guess we than simply have to fly over there!" Sheena stated, creating a giant wood bird out of a tree.

"Stop, let us first observed the surrounding before we crash through the gates!" Grandpa stated.

"You got a point there!" Sheena stated, thinking things over.

"Kosuke-san, use one of your crows to observe this building please!" Grandma stated and Kosuke did as told.

"There seems to be some kind of force field around the entire mountain, one can only enter from the foot of it, there is a gate and some kind of a way, which seems to reach up towards the building!" Kosuke stated after a while.

"I see, guess it´s our only way then, but prepare to engage in fights, I bet one can clearly see us from above the towers of this building!" Grandpa stated.

"Alright if nobody objects we are doing things as following, we get through this way, make it to this building, break in, slay our way to the Daimyo´s daughter and get back out with her!" Grandpa stated.

"Alright let´s do this!" We shouted and so we made our way towards the foot of the mountain.

What would await us in this building?

(To be continued)

Part III/ Prepare for war, a second Chance to make things right.

Sarin´s Pov:

It was early in the morning as I woke up, being woken by loud noises.

"Neherit, quick, they all have been awoken and they are already fighting, if this goes on the castle will be destroyed!" I thought to hear Rughian shouting.

"Well keep your voice down Rughian, there are still people sleeping and no fear I will go down and deal with them!" I heard Neherit´s voice.

I heard step running down the hallway, away from my door.

"I ask myself what has happened now!" I stated.

"Hey Salia, wake up!" I stated as I shook her awake.

"What´s going on?" She asked.

"Trouble, seems like the newly resurrected are fighting against each other and they likely will destroy the castle this way, Neherit and Rughian have gone down the hallway, guess he will try to calm them down, but I bet he will need some hands more, so get dressed we got to help him!" I stated while walking in the bathroom next door, it was convenient that these Rooms were so big, they even fitted an entire bathroom inside.

And the King-size beds were so fluffy soft, as if you sleep on a white cloud.

"Geez so much stress already in the morning!" I heard Salia pouting.

A half hour later we were finally done with washing and dressing, we ran down the hallway, towards the source of the noise.

It came out of one of the rooms we were not allowed to walk in.

"Geez you idiots, you are alive after being dead for so long and the first thing you can do, is to fight against each other!" I hear Neherits voice.

We arrived in the room only to see an unusual sight.

Many persons, strapped with big black chains, raised into the air tied to the ceiling.

Under them were the four first Hokages, Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

Also, and I almost didn´t trusted my eyes, Lord Ashina, a young woman with red Hair, she had something familiar but i just couldn´t remember what, even Aunt Kushina was there.

As a shock came for Salia that Neji Hyuuga had been resurrected as well.

The rest of the people I didn´t even know, beside of Itachi Uchiha, Haku, Zabuza Momochi as well as Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the Gold and Silver Brothers, even though I knew these people only because of the Bingo books and thanks to their reputations.

"I don´t belive this, so many strong Ninjas on one pile, even Lord Jiraiya is here..., huh who´s that girl, and that old man?" Salia asked me.

"I have heard about him, his name is Master Chen, A Taijutsu master, similar to Sensei Gai and Sensei Lee, but I think he is even stronger than him!" I stated, after the last month I knew most of the important people in Konohagakure.

"Hmmm..., Sarin who are these..., wait hold on a second, isn´t that..., but how is that possible that two of them are existing?" Salia asked me as she pointed at a huge tank full of water with the body of no one else but the Fourth Hokage, his wife and Hinata Uzumaki, even though we saw Minato-san and Aunt Kushina standing right before us discussing things with Rughian and Neherit, and I knew that Salia's Aunt was still in Konohagakure, but here she was, together with other persons.

"Anyways what exactly happened don´t tell me it´s another war coming!" Hashirama asked.

"Well the time for the next Millennium War has come, although it´s far too early!" Neherit stated.

"I see so that's why you brought us back with Kuchiyose Edo-Tensei, right!" Tobirama stated.

"Baaaaaaammmm!" Faster than the blink of an eye, Neherit´s fist collided with Tobirama´s face, punching him backwards into the wall.

"Don´t you dare equaling the high jutsu of Bochi no Kaze (Cemetery wind) with your cheap copy, called Edo Tensei, how dare you even try to copy any of the Mezakan´s Jutsus.

This Jutsu was prohibited to the Watashimori only, but you idiot just had to copy it and make it available for every other idiot to use!" Neherit´s voice was full of wrath, hatred and venom, everyone was paralyzed by his reaction.

"If I wouldn´t need your forces, I would likely kill you again, you are the world´s biggest idiot I have ever seen before in my long life!" Neherit continued to scold Tobirama, who looked like a boy busted in flagrante at making mischief.

"If you dare one more time to copy a Jutsu of my clan I will hunt your sorry soul to the depths of hell!" He stated before huffing in annoyance.

"Anyways now that this has cleared we going to the main theme of the day.

As you all know have you guys been dead for 20 years or even longer, the fact is, that bringing you back to live was not a mood swing of me, not at all.

Each one of you bears a tremendous power in yourself, Kinkaku and Ginkaku for example still have the force of the Kyuubi, that's why I resurrected you, your force is well needed.

Also we have Haku, with the unique ability of creating Ice out of Wind and Water Chakra.

Zabuza Momochi, the so called Demon of Kirigakure, mercenary and a strong warrior, wished in his last minutes before death to go where Haku is, well in the end your wish has become true both of you are alive again.

Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, the Four deceased Hokages, one each of you has unique and strong abilities and I think I have no further need to tell anyone about it, your deed speak for themselves.

Kushina, Honoka, Ashina, as Uzumakis of the highest ranks are all three of you massively strong Seal Casters and unfortunately the only Souls of the dead Uzumakis which I have found, it seems like the enemy has already gotten their hands on the rest of the still remaining souls and will likely use Tobirama's dumb Jutsu to revive them.

By the way, thanks a lot for the fourth World war, you Asshole!" Neherit explained before growling mercilessly at Tobirama who backed away.

"Thanks to your dumb Jutsu thousands of people are already dead, I really ask myself what were you thinking as you created that jutsu?" Neherit continued.

"It itches in my hands to rip your head off, you know!?" he stated.

"Neherit stay focused!" Rughian stated.

"Geez you are right, anyways, one each of you is alive for exactly 1 year, in this year you guys work for me, we going to keep the world safe, slay every real demon which comes our way, prevent the world from falling into chaos and maybe prevent our all demise, if you work good, I might consider to let you live another year, by the way Hashirama-kun, your wife is waiting in her room at the end of the corridor!" Neherit stated.

"M-Mito, is..., she´s alive!" Hashirama-sama stated unbelieving.

Yeah she lived some more decades after your death and kept the Kyuubi in herself, before giving it over to her Granddaughter Kushina, Minato´s wife, momentarily it stucks in Naruto, Minato-san and Kushina-san´s son!" Neherit explained.

"How´s my son?" Kushina-san asked.

"You guys can be proud of him, he has become the Hokage since five years now and is one of the most famous and most popular persons of Konohagakure and so are his Children!" Neherit explained.

"Wait hold on a second..., Naruto´s ..., Children?" Kushina asked before a large smile appeared.

"So we are Grandparents, Minato we are grandparents, our son has found a wife and has Children!" Kushina-san stated excited.

"You will meet them later, also is there another thing, Neji Salia, I have bad news for you guys, last night Hiashi Hyuuga has parted from the living, after he fought against his father, Hizamaru Hyuuga to stop him from attacking Hinata-san´s Children as well as yourself Salia, So if you want to go there I will take you together with Kushina-san and Minato-san!" Neherit explained in a calm tone.

"Uncle Hiashi is dead?" Neji stated in shock.

"Grandpa..., no..., why!" Sarin stated in sheer terror, tears falling from her eyes.

"He fought, alongside of Naruto, Hinata, Hanabi, Konohamaru, Sakura and Sasuke against his Grandfather, in order to stop him from attacking his own clan´s men, he has set himself over the law of Konohagakure, that part which says that the Kage no Tori is not allowed to be casted anymore, since 11 years this is a fundamental law, but Hizamaru has never given up on it and managed to curse 5 children with the seal, in the last 11 years!" neherit told them.

"The Funeral is at 3 pm, there should be enough time to travel then.

That aside, you guys are going to reside in this castle for the next time, one each of you has a room for him/herself.

During your stay and the one year I will not that anybody of you is fighting against another one.

If you do, I will gladly stomp you into the ground so hard, you will wish you were never be reborn.

You guys are a team from now on, your mission is to keep the world save from out of the shadow, officially you guys do not exist, you are the Gōsuto bunretsu (Ghost division) of the United Ninja World.

Anyone got it?" Neherit asked.

"And what makes you think we follow you?" Kinkaku asked.

"You want to try it out?" Neherit stated his expression darkened.

"Sure thing, I will see if you are really as high and mighty as you think, give me your best Shot!" Kinkaku mocked him, rushing to attack Neherit.

The same dodged the punches with an incredible easiness, not even defending himself, he more danced around the fists and beats.

"Grrr, stop mocking me, fight like a man!" Kinkaku shouted, while his brother cheered for him.

The other resurrected, me included, looked at the one sided battle with curious and analytic eyes.

"Fight you asshole!" Kinkaku shouted in rage, transforming in his Bijuu form, ready to attack, before he suddenly was gone, being punched right through the wall, to the outside of the castle.

"Kinkaku?!" Ginkaku asked dumbfounded.

The shock we suffered through this new demonstration of sheer overwhelming force, was almost severe.

"Anymore Question?" Neherit asked with a meaningful glance.

"Sir, no, Sir!" The rest of them stated saluting.

"Very well, Ginkaku, please go and get your brother back, he lies in 5 miles distance in a river unconscious, the Stegosaurs are beginning to get skeptical, they already are pondering whether to keep drinking out of the river or not!" Neherit stated with a chuckle.

"And I would absolutely hate it to disturb their daily life, and don´t you dare attacking them, if even just one of them dies, I will send you guys back to the pits of hell and believe me, this ain't no joke..., Understood?" Neherit asked with a sinister smile.

"Sir, yes Sir!" Everyone stated sweatdropping.

"Is it just me or is Neherit far more energetic than before?" I asked Rughian.

"That has been so since he began his training, whenever he sleeps a night through, he later is as fit as a well-oiled machine!" Rughian replied.

"Anyways, Jiraiya, Minato, Kushina, Hiruzen, Neji, Honoka, Please follow me, you guys going to meet some people, back, You guys too!" Neherit stated as he walked up to Salia, my father and me.

"I will tell Naruto personally what I am doing by simply showing it to him.

By the way, Sarin this is Honoka Uzumaki, your grandmother, Honoka this is Sarin, your granddaughter!" Neherit explained and I did not trusted my eyes and ears.

"G-grandma?" I asked dumbfounded

"G-Granddaughter?" Honoka-san asked equal dumbfounded like me.

She looked not at all the way, when I had seen her the last time, more like a young woman, which looked like nothing but middle 20.

"Much time has passed!" Neherit only stated.

"Anyways you guys, please keep the castle clean, if you feel the urge to fight against then turn around and go to your room, my crows have you always in their glance and Rughian, Nagato as well as Mito-san will keep an eye on you guys too, so you better don´t try to fight, or you will likely end up like Kinkaku!" Neherit stated as he lead us out of the room.

"Do you think they will get along?" I asked Neherit.

"They will have to, the next Millennium war has already begun.

Humanity does not see it because of the Veil, but the demons are already lose, as you know since yesterday!" Neherit stated.

"Anyways we will be in Konoha just right for the funeral, you guys got to hold on tight, I will speed up, I got to make myself bigger this time!" He stated.

"What does he mean?" Neji-san asked.

"You will see, Neji-san!" Salia stated, while scanning the Boy with a light blush.

Bonus Story continues/ A mission for two:- Side Uchimaki:

Part 4: Arrival in the Iron Town, puppet-Play.

Bolt´s Pov:

We finally arrived in the town, after another 3 hours, it was late afternoon already.

"Stop right there, who are you guys, and what business do you have in our town?" The Guards at the gate asked us.

"We were send from Konohagakure, as a reinforcement and as bodyguards, for Lord Fushichō, here is our official invitation, my name is Boruto Uzumaki and this is Sarada Uchiha, my Partner!" I stated.

"Konohagakure sends us kids, guess we should have known that they most likely only mock us, what a waste of money!" The guard stated.

"Au contraire, my Father, the Hokage thinks that we two will be fairly enough, to deal with every danger to come, if anything unexpected and life-dangerous for all happens, I can sent my friend here to him and he will be here in an instant!" I stated.

"You are the son of the Hokage?" the guard asked me.

"Indeed, Boruto Uzumaki, at your service!" I stated.

"Hmmmm, well the papers seem to be okay, I guess there should be no problem, alright you may enter, my partner is phoning up to the Lord´s Villa to announce your arrival, please stay here, I bet they will send you guys someone to take you there!" the Guard stated.

"Thank you very much!" I stated.

"Sure, anyways got to go back to my job!" he said before he vanished.

We waited for 20 minutes before a man walked up on us.

"Welcome in Fiero village, my name is Sasori Taka, Lord Fushichō´s main Butler, i´m your guide for today.

My master, Lord Fushichō is still in a meeting so he told me, to show you a bit of our beautiful town.

Your Luggage is going to be sent to your rooms in the royal Villa, at the end of the visit i´m sure Lord Fushichō will be done with his meeting and ready to welcome you, anyways if you would like to follow me, I´m going to show you around!" Taka-san stated, and so we were occupied with sightseeing for the next five hours.

After we were finally finished we stood right before the Royal villa.

"Welcome at the Firestone Estate, my name is Hotaru Amano, I am the head-maid of this estate and it is an honour to me to meet you, young Lord Uzumaki, young Lady Uchiha.

My master is now almost ready to meet you, I suggest that you take a shower in the meanwhile and put on the clothes we have prepared for you, and tonight will be busy!" Amano-san, a 30 year old women with a serious expression and a respectable aura, stated.

She had something on her which made me shuddering she seemed to be very well-versed in Battles.

Like a wild-cat waiting, biding its time before attacking.

Same goes for Sasori, also a 30 year old man, in my opinion the two of them weren´t just Butler and maid.

"Of course, we thank you for your hospitality!" I said and we both bowed, something was different on them, so I used my Byakugan in the brief seconds we bowed, it was as I thought.

"Sasori-san, is going to show you your rooms, feel free to feel at home!" Amano-san stated.

"Somehow this is strange, she looks as if she´s not herself, I guess she´s trapped too!" I thought, as I looked in her eyes, having stopped to scan her.

I also saw it at the Gate-guard and at Taka-san, they were set in a Genjutsu, I was sure about that for I had checked that earlier already with my Byakugan.

"Sarada, can you hear me?" I asked, while we walked down the corridors of the large fancy looking Building, over mind-transmission.

A jutsu Inojin had once set on all of us, concentrating strongly we could connect our minds, even when we are far away.

"Sure what´s up?" she asked back.

"Seems like most of the people here are in a Genjutsu, but I guess it´s best to not show that we know, until we find the caster!" I told her.

"I see, yeah that makes sense, guess you are right, well this means we have to play along am I right?" She asked.

"Indeed, and I bet it´s more behind this than we think, I haven´t told you before, but I got some strange dreams the last days.

Dreams in which the real Fushichō spoke to me, he told me he and his mother would have been captured and being replaced by imposters, still I have no idea what exactly their goal is.

I have to find the real ones, but for this I need to know more about the false ones!" I explained.

"I see yeah, guess we should do that before we make trouble!" Sarada replied.

"Indeed, if we finally find the real ones we also can outplay these imposters!" I thought.

"Yeah, guess you are right!" Sarada send to me.

"This here is your room Lady Uchiha!" Taka-san stated as he pointed at a door, and opened it.

"Pheeew, fancy, fancy!" I stated at the sight, the room had something rustically and expensive to me.

"And this right across the corridor is yours, Lord Uzumaki!" Taka-san stated, as he opened the door.

"Speaking from fancy!" Sarada stated, mine was not minor rich and expensively decorated.

White and gold seemed to be used as a main colour in this house.

It was hard to believe, that this villa here was the one of the Major of a mining town, I really asked myself how this Lord Fushichō must look like.

"Like a parrot among crows!" I mumbled, before I had to chuckle as I imagined it.

"What´s the matter Bolt?" Sarada asked me.

"Oh nothing, just though about something funny!" I stated.

"Anyways the Lord will likely arrive here at evening for the dinner, tonight it gives a big party, with all of the rich and mighty personalities out of the entire valley.

You are invited as guests from outside, the other royalties do not know about you being Ninjas from Konohagakure, therefore are your names for the following evening, Lord Satori Riku and Lady Satori Hinako from the Satori Clan of Hi no Kuni, it is a non-existent Clan, so no one will find anything out about it!" Taka-san stated.

"I see, so you want us to mix under the crowd and get informations and clues for any possible assassination plans, am I right?" Sarada asked.

"Indeed, we do not know who has threaten us, but we cannot be careful enough!" Taka-san stated.

"I understand, no fear we will find them!" I stated with confidence.

"I would appreciate this!" Taka-san replied.

"Anyways i´m going to let you guys get ready now, if you need me or Hotaru-san please feel free to ask in the reception!" he stated.

"Good but I got one wish, we need to know a bit more about the other royalties, if not we are unprepared!" I stated.

"Very well I will personally gather some files which we had taken some time ago for Lady Hanako, in the meanwhile please get prepared the dinner party starts at 9 o`clock in the evening!" Taka-san stated before he bowed and turned around, walking down the corridor.

"Guess this is something bigger than we thought!" I whispered to Sarada.

"Guess so, we better quickly find the real Lord Fushichō and Lady Hanako, if not, things might get ugly.

If the forces of this Fire-lord goes into the wrong hands, great disaster might be inevitable to come!" Sarada whispered back.

"We have to prevent this from happening!" I stated with a serious tone.

"Indeed, but first we have to overcome tonight and we have to fight the real royals of this town!" Sarada stated.

"Indeed, but the shrine visit is already tomorrow, so we got to find them quick, but for now we better get ready, we have to play along!" I replied.

"Sure thing, well then, see you later Bolt!" She said and vanished with Lady Katsuyu in her room.

"Dammit this is one big house!" Gamatech stated, after I closed my own door, I told him to stay in my Bag pack since I did not know how the villagers might react to him.

"It sure is!" I stated.

"Hey I heard about what you have to do, tell me, you got the Byakugan right?" Gamatech asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Well, Sarada-san is going to take a shower right next door to us, am I right?" He stated with a smug grin.

"You little pervy toad!"!" I stated with a smug grin.

"All for you my friend!" He only stated.

"Knock, knock!" It knocked on my door.

"Yes, Oh Sarada what's up?" I asked as she stood before me.

"Taka-san just brought the files!" She stated, as she gave them to me.

She turned around and was about to vanish in her room as she stopped.

"And Bolt…. If you try to watch me, while I am under the shower, with your Byakugan, you are dead meat, understood?!" She stated with a sinister smile.

"I never thought about that!" I stated alarmed.

"Oh good, can you then also tell this to Gamatech!" She stated.

"Dammit how much did she heard?!" I thought sweat dropping.

"Will be done!" I stated nervously.

"We are on a mission, don´t forget that!" She stated and I thought to see a blush, before she closed the door.

"Dammit, so much for spanning on the showering Sarada!" Gamatech stated.

"She would have killed me anyways if she ever would have found out!" I stated.

"I see, well you guys still have some days together alone, so there still is enough time for you guys to get it going!" Gamatech stated.

"What are you, the sex-guru or what?" I asked him.

"Get yourself an own girlfriend before you barge into my business!" I stated to him.

"Woaaah, easy man, i´m just trying to help you out here, anyways, you better get ready, there is a lot of stuff to learn before the grand show begins!" he stated pointing on the files I had laid on the table.

"I know that much…., geez that's so troublesome!" I mumbled as I walked in the bathroom and closed the door.

Tonight will be a busy time for sure!

(To be continued…)

A/N: hello my faithful readers, it has been a long time since I last wrote an Authors Note, some things happened at home which kept me from my creativity, but it´s finally here, Chapter 13.

And as the legend says the 13 has to be something unfortunate, so I wrote you a bit about Neherits unfortunate past.

I hope all of you, who thought that Neherit might just be an Overpowered character, might warm up a bit for him, because he is like the Twilight, he stands between light and darkness, Love and Hatred, like a mix of both, Naruto and Sasuke.

So please let me tell the story to an end, before you judge the characters.

Until the next time, in Chapter 14.

Yours truly, the Storyteller and his books
