Hashirama was waiting downstairs on his home, ready to take his daughter to place she would be safe. He talked with Tobirama earlier and convinced him that he has the ideal guardian. In the meantime, he has to prepare another strategy to get rid of his wife. Her father was staying at the village too, something he found suspicious. They were surely planning something evil, he can tell, and he needed to take his children and lover away from their reach.

"I´m ready, daddy" said the four years old girl, getting down. She was a little bit sleepy, it was time for her afternoon nap, but she has to go somewhere with some of her toys. She was a little bit sad that her mommy wasn´t there to see her, but her daddy said that she was being punished for trying to hurt her.

"You are? Then come here" he picked her up, smiling at her, and carried her through the village. She was trying to stay awake until they reached the place, because she would fail if she lost her grip. They walked to the Uchiha compound.

"Why are we here, daddy?" asked her curiously.

"To a friend of mine´s house" he answered, stopping in front of a door. It was the main house. He knocked on it and was immediately answered by a very groggy Uchiha, who immediately opened his eyes wide and let him enter, flustered. It was obvious that he was sleeping before they came and that he was awaked by the knock on the door. "Sorry, I should have known…"

"Don´t worry" cut him Madara, eyeing the girl he carried on his back. He was astonished, his daughter has grown up so much since she was the little baby he could only carry for a few minutes after giving birth to her. Her wide green eyes shone with innocence even if she was sleepy and her hair was as black as his. "Ehhhh…" he didn´t know how to address her. He couldn´t exactly begin to act right away as a mother, that would scare her, but he couldn´t either act as a complete stranger. "Hello, Maki-chan, I´m Uchiha Madara."

"I´m Maki…." She answered, feeling something strange around that man. She has definitely heard his voice before and his smell… then again, he was a friend of her father´s, she probably knew him from before, she just didn´t remember him well.

"You are so beautiful… I haven´t seen you since you were a baby" he patted her head.

"I´m not a baby anymore!" she said a bit offended.

"Of course not" he wished she was, that way he would have time to recover the lost experiences. She yawned cutely and he immediately looked at the clock. Shit, it was about time for a nap… for both him and the girl. "I have a room where you can sleep in peace. Do you want to?"

"Yes, please, mister" she answered. Once she was laid down in the futon, asleep, her parents went to the living room and Hashirama prepared some tea for him and warm milk for his lover (he consulted a doctor earlier that week and the medic told him that he was low on calcium, even if he didn´t know the cause). "Are you okay?"

"I need a little bit of nutritional reinforcement, but I´m taking care of that" the raven sipped on his beverage. "Apparently is normal in pregnancies"

"Yeah, maybe" the brunette lowered his eyes. He hasn´t been there the first pregnancy, but now… he will make sure he will help and make all the work, so the other can rest and have a better time than the first. "About Mito…"

"Yes, about her… you said you were going to get rid of her"

"I know! I only need more time, believe me" the Shodaime said, frowning. "It´s only that the Senju and Uzumaki council are making things difficult for me and that damn redheaded demon she has for a father is here too" he lifted a hand to put it on his lover´s cheek, but the Uchiha shook it off. "What´s the matter?"

"It´s just that… I should have told you a lot before something" he cleared his throat. "I value myself too much to be a mere lover, the other… it´s just not me. So if you really want to be the father of this child" he rubbed his belly "then you will better have to do as you promised. If not I will raise him alone"

"Please, don´t…"

"You have your time, use it wisely" sighed Madara, taking another sip of milk. "Oh, and you will have to help me anyway when I´m fat as a whale."

"That without saying" smiled the Senju.

"Now can you tell me why did you bring the girl to me of all people?" raised an eyebrow the clan head, finishing his beverage. He was feeling a little bit tired, but with his first born under his care and a stupid Uzumaki princess on the louse… he couldn´t sleep even if he wanted. Mito have always wanted to get rid of him and his child, it wouldn´t be past her to set his house on fire too.

"I thought there wouldn´t be a safer place for her than with her own mother" the door opened that moment and revealed a very shaken Maki, that has woken up to go to the bathroom and casually heard her parents talking. Hashirama immediately got up and hugged his daughter. After a very awkward conversation and an explanation in words the four years old can understand, he explained everything. In the end the girl was very mad at him and threw him a look that was so similar to her mother´s that sent shivers down his spine.

"So you…" she begin, in a high pitched voice that didn´t match the seriousness in her tone. "Tore me and my mama away… for a… a… demon of a woman that tried to burn me alive!"

"Maki, dear, please… I know it´s hard to understand, but…"

"No buts!" she screamed and went away, reaching the bathroom just in time not to wet her pijamas. "I hope mama never forgives you!"

"That´s my girl" said the Uchiha proudly.

"Indeed… that´s your daughter" the Senju was wide eyed, shivering a bit. Now even in his past life has he seen his beloved Maki like that. It was definitely something she inherited from her mother, but was hidden due to Mito´s influence.

Outside the window was a person in rich ninja clothing, staring at them from the distance. The stranger smiled, eyeing the raven, sensing the tiny chakra that was forming inside of him. He quickly left the place before someone could see him and once he reached the Senju territory he slowed down. He strolled down with a satisfied expression on his face, having found out something very amusing.

"Good day, Uzumaki-sama" greeted one ninja. Mito´s father greeted back and got back to the place his daughter was. He needed to talk to her. He found the woman in her room, singing by herself in a corner.

"I think you need to start explaining me some things" he said before closing the doors.

-In other time-

Tsunade and Orochimaru from the future were invited to a mission with their old team, as Sarutobi thought they need a rest from Mito and the Mitsuki search. At first the snake man wanted to refuse, but then his sensei told him that it was more probably to find him if he go with them, as there would be more eyes. The blond, for her part, would do anything to get away from the stupid old woman that she was forced to take care of. And of her mother… Oh, how much she wanted to see Maki free of that slave dealer!

"She orders her around as if she is nothing but dirt on her shoes… and she knows she hasn´t the right!" growled Tsunade to the old mad scientist. "I wish she rots to death…"

"You know that the old woman still has some time to go, just tell your mom and younger self the truth" suggested the raven, packing all his equipment. "And you think you have it bad with that bitch of a woman… at least you don´t have a child that is missing! I´m dying of worry for my little baby boy…"

"How do you have him again?" tricked him Tsunade.

"It a drunken one night stand and… hey! I never told you how I had my child and I never will!"

"Awwwww… but at least I found out something more about how you became a parent" she smiled, zipping up her bag of medical supplies. "At least now I can be sure we have a proper medical ninja to treat our injuries in the missions before I made to jounin" she joked. "Don´t you remember all the problems we got into?"

"Yes… the three Sannin as children" he smiled a bit. "I´m really worried that Mitsuki got that troublemaking part from me."

"We turned white Sarutobi sensei´s hair" she laughed and then looked at the Hokage Mountain. She was so used to see her face in there… now the count was cut down to two. Her oji-sama was dead… well, one of them. Madara was surely still alive and in the claws of that plant freak. And Tobirama was in charge. "I haven´t seen my uncle yet."

"Niidaime-sama? You better shouldn´t, he would be scandalized at how you turned out. He would probably say that you don´t act like a proper heiress of the Senju clan" both of them sighed, they knew the snake was right.

"Are you ready?" called them Hiruzen, that was at the other side of the door, waiting for them. Both of his students got out of the house, smiling a bit. He answered them by doing it too, it was so rare to see the older Orochimaru smiling since his son disappeared. And Tsunade… he didn´t know what was happening to her. He knew Mito-hime was bad with her, but the things never get this far. "Okay let´s go"

He and his team travelled fast, dangers being a lot less with the older versions watching their backs. In the middle of the way they found a patrol of Iwagakure ninja that seemed to be searching for someone around. They were about to avoid them when there was a scream from a boy and from the ninja.

"Here he is!" yelled one. A chakra that was hidden before appeared, well known for the time travelers. The jounin started to chase the white haired boy, that was now searching for another place to hide… until a big ass snake appeared out of nowhere in front of him with a very pissed off Sannin on top of it. The rival team stopped in their tracks, frozen in fear. The chakra of this individual was stronger than all of them combined.

"We… we… eh"

"I will KILL YOU!" yelled Orochimaru, moving his hands into a powerful and very painful technique, that ended up in the Iwa nin´s ultimate death. He the dispelled the invocation and turned to his child, who was shivering a bit. "Mitsuki…" the boy latched onto him and he answered by putting his arms around him to carry him to safety. Usually, the twelve years od would have said that he was too old for this, but now, after the terror experience, he let himself be babied by his father.

"I´m sorry, I won´t do it again" he promised.

"Oh, baby, you are safe now"

"Ajam!" cleared his throat the future Sandaime. Orochimaru looked at his sensei, who was sending him a warming look. "Orochimaru, put that boy on the ground, he isn´t two anymore"

"Oh, right" he set the golden eyed child on the floor. "Are you hurt, Mitsuki?"

"No, I´m alright" he assured.

"You are Mitsuki-kun, no?" greeted him the old man. "I´m Sarutobi Hiruzen, your father´s sensei…"

"Oh, he told me a bit about you" he eyed the children behind the Sarutobi. "So that´s my dad and his team when they were younger, I wanted to see them…"

"Yes? I could have shown you some pictures…" the look he got from his teacher made him shut up for a bit. It was a warming, about what they talked before about children and the need of grounding them to make them learn. "Errr… listen, Mitsuki, the things is that what you did was very wrong and you dragged us into this just like you drag your teammates very often, so… I think a punishment is in order."

"A punishment? Okay, I will clean your lab and your snakes for another week" answered the albino kids without batting an eyelash.

"Well, that didn´t worked so well the last few times, so… I made up a new punishment"

"What do I have to clean this time?"

"Nothing… you know my student Kabuto run Konoha´s orphanage, no?" Mitsuki nodded. He didn´t like where this was going to. Don´t tell him wrong, he liked Yakushi, when he was younger the white haired medic used to take care of him, but his decision of a profession… let´s just say that Mitsuki didn´t like children. "When we go back you will have to help him in there"

"No"

"Excuse me?"

"No! I hate kids"

"Well, young man, punishment is not something you enjoy, you know"

"I promise! I will behave! And I will wash every scale from all the snaked you have until you could use them as a mirror, but don´t make me do that!"

"Great punishment, Orochimaru" Tsunade put a hand on his shoulder. "Finally you re showing some backbone"

"Please"

"No, Mitsuki, now stay where I can see you"

"More Konoha shinobi!" yelled another voice. Apparently there was more than one team chasing Mitsuki in his mad dash for Konoha. Some Iwa nins entered to the place and battle started. In some hours Tsunade from the future got separated from Sarutobi and Orochimaru, alone with the three kids. She just couldn´t let them die.

"Just see her… she is such a cutie" commented one. "I wouldn´t mind leaving her alive if…"

"Shut up and concentrate. Kill them!" ordered the squad leader.

"Cover" ordered the busty blond and her eyes changed. They were now red with a black ring around the pupil in the shape of her forehead jewel. The attackers stopped immediately, but was too late. "Amaterasu!" soon there was nothing more of them but ashes… but she wasn´t very well either. Her eyes were bleeding.

"Tsunade! Are you okay?" asked the Sarutobi when he reached his student.

"She used Sharingan, I´m sure" commented her younger self. "How did she obtained that doujutsu? Why did she have it?"

"Because…" said the former Godaime with a hand on her eye. "I´m from Uchiha blood"

This took everyone but the older Orochimaru and his son aback. In the end they decided to set a camp before hearing the explanation. When they have finished eating, Hiruzen asked her why she said something like that.

"You know that Mito always behaved bad with my mom, no?" he nodded. "Well, it´s because she is not her daughter."

"WHAT?!"

"As you heard" she sighed. "In fact, Uzumaki Mito didn´t have any children, she was unable to. Hashirama Senju had a lover, an Uchiha, and that person was the mother of all his kids. That´s why that old woman hates us, because we reminded her of the person that fulfilled her duty and had the children that in her eyes should have been hers."

"So that´s the reason…" muttered the younger blond, frowning. "Wait, my mother have never awoken Sharingan and me either."

"Mito put a seal on your eyes… and her brother´s" the girl was astonished. "She told you she had three brothers, no? Well, in their case she wasn´t able to defeat nature. They awoke the Sharingan and found out the truth… let´s just say that they didn´t took very well. In fact they took it so bad that they immediately moved to their mother´s and never speak to their father again."

"And that thing the Niidaime said about Madara Uchiha killing them?" asked Saru.

"That was just something out of uncle´s imagination, the man was innocent."

"Just what I feared" they didn´t spoke more. The younger Tsunade looked at the flames. She… and Uchiha? Well, part Uchiha. Some of their blood was running through her veins. The Sharingan, they said it was a very useful weapon and her older self just confirmed it. She smiled, from now on she will learn the other part of her heritage, she decided.
