The moon was still out when Koka stepped out of the shrine. Heiwa and Kaede were still asleep and most of the streets were empty. She walked silently down them, aiming for her destination. What she was doing was risky. There were several outcomes of this situation. Many of them involved her either dying or being imprisoned. But there was still that slim chance that she had to take.

She told herself that this was not for anybody but herself. That she just wanted a peaceful life and that this was the best way to achieve it. But the sight of the house before her came far too quickly for her liking. Koka walked up to the door and hesitated before knocking. Too late to go back now.

Koka waited patiently, if not a little nervously, as she heard shuffling from inside. Then the door opened and she was met with the sight of a very confused, and still sleepy Minato.

"Yondaime-sama." The blue eyed man blinked down at her.

"Are you lost, little one?"

"I need to speak to you and Kushina. It's very important."

Koka shifted on the couch as she waited for Kushina to join her and Minato in the living room. The small girl was still unsure of how she managed to convince the blond Hokage to let her in, but now here she was, past the point of no return. She needed to stay calm.

"What's going on?" Kushina had arrived. They both looked to Koka. The blue eyed girl could no longer take it. The secrets, the knowledge. Adult or not in the past life, she was just a child now.

"I can see the future." Koka started sobbing as soon as she said it. The two adults looked at each other in bewilderment.

When Koka finally calmed down enough, she began to tell the Hokage and his wife everything she had seen since she was little, only leaving out her being from another world. The story took time as she had to repeat herself a few times when her cries grew too thick for them to understand her words.

By the end of it, Kushina was staring at the girl in shock while Minato had adopted a very serious look. The entire thing was too complex for a three year old to make up, but Koka did not act like most three year olds. And if everything was true, the future outlook was terrifying. The leader of the village sat crouched down before Koka.

His blue eyes met his own as he spoke to her.

"Koka-chan, I will take care of it, I promise." She nodded silently, still visibly upset. Minato said nothing as the small girl's eyes took on an ethereal glow. All was silent.

"He loves you." Her voice was small, but her words caused Minato and Kushina to smile. No matter what he had gone through, Naruto loved them.

Koka woke up in an unfamiliar place and felt a bolt of panic before she remembered last night's occurrence. Seeing she was still alive and not imprisoned, Koka took that as a good thing. Suddenly catching the smell of something cooking wafting through the house, her stomach began to rumble.

Embarrassed, Koka slipped off the couch she had been on and wandered into the kitchen. There she found Kushina in front of the stove. By the looks of it, Minato had already left.

"Good morning, Koka-chan." The older woman looked at the small girl who had entered. Koka was momentarily taken in by the kindness in her face.

"Good morning, Kushina-sama." The older woman laughed.

"Just Kushina is fine. Are you hungry?" Koka's stomach rumbled again, causing her to blush and duck her head in embarrassment. Kushina smiled and told her to sit at the table.

The two chatted over breakfast and Koka found herself enjoying Kushina's company. It reminded her so much of her own mother from her first life. The Koka was telling Kushina about the shrine when her words cut off suddenly, startling Kushina. The soon to be mother stared in wonder at Koka's eyes.

Once again they had taken on an ethereal hue, showing the young girl a vision. Soon it was over and Koka looked at the older woman, a slight frown on her face.

"My friend is looking for me and throwing a fit." Kushina laughed at the petulant look on Koka's face.

"I suppose we should find them then." Koka sighed and nodded. The two stood up and Koka helped bring the dirty dishes to the sink.

"Ne, Koka, how do your visions work?" The young girl tilted her head for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know. They just happen. Usually it's something small, like surprise guests. But sometimes it's really big. It's hard to move when they happen and Keade said my eyes look different."

Kushina hummed in thought. "With that kind of power you could be a good shinobi."

Koka shook her head. "They'd kill me before I became a genin. I saw it." Koka was caught in a hug before she finished her sentence. The young girl stood still as Kushina held her.

"We won't let that happen." Koka's eyes widened as Kushina's words.

Itachi was running through the village, searching for Koka. He had gone over to the shrine early to give her the book. Shisui had tagged along to visit. But when they got there, it was not what they expected.

Kaede had been standing in the entrance way, tears filling her eyes. A note was in her hand, which she handed to Itachi as Shisui tried to calm her down. The younger Uchiha had taken one look at it and panicked. He took off through the village, Shisui and Kaede following behind.

Went to talk to someone important. Be back soon. Don't worry.

-Koka.

Itachi ran on, Shisui behind him. The older Uchiha had picked up Kaede and carried her on his back so they could keep up. Thoughts flew around the prodigies head. She knew they could take advantage of her. Why would she put herself in danger like that? What is she was already hurt? The longer it took to find her, the more panicked Itachi became. It was not until he saw a glimpse of blue kimono that Itachi stopped. Only one person wore a kimono like that.

Moments later Koka came into view. Itachi did not know whether to feel elated or let his stomach drop at what he saw next. The girl was hand in hand with Kushina, the Hokage's wife.

"Koka!" Kaede dashed past him, having been put down by Shisui. Koka's eyes snapped up to the group before she was tackled by a sobbing Kaede. Itachi walked hesitantly up to the two girls, Shisui having followed Kaede's lead and joined in on the hug.

The blue eyed girl was awkwardly patting Kaede's head while trying to push Shisui off.

"It's ok, Kaede. I'm fine." Koka looked up and met Itachi's eyes as she spoke. "It's ok." Itachi flicked his eyes up to Kushina who was smiling and nodded at Itachi.

"I think we should get you kids back to the shrine, ne?" The red haired woman escorted the four young ones back to the shrine.

The entire walk back, Kaede clung to Koka's side while the two boys took up their usual positions next to the girls. Kushina watched their interactions with interest. She had heard of the prodigies of the Uchiha clan and knew about them from her friend Mikoto.

Whether they realized it or not, the two Uchiha children had taken up a defensive position around the civilian girls. Kushina found it adorable and could not help but wonder how they would be when they were older. The little girl would have some powerful allies when she was older.

The shrine came into sight and Kushina spotted her husband's student talking to Heiwa and Mikoto, who had shown up shortly after the search for Koka had begun. Kakashi turned to the arriving group and gave Kushina a respectful nod before waving lazily to Koka.

"Yo, Koka."

"Kakashi-san, are you going to join us for tea too?" Koka asked, a little too innocently. Kakashi grimaced, causing the three older women to laugh. He was trapped. Minato had asked him to watch over Koka for a while.

Kaede pulled Koka into the shrine, the two Uchiha boys following close behind. Kushina smiled as she walked up to her longtime friends.

"Good morning, Mikoto, Heiwa."

Powerful allies indeed.
