Miki's POV

We had come back from our last mission. "He has changed so much these past two years. He got stronger and hotter." I thought. I face-palmed myself. I was walking towards the training grounds.

"Why did Kakashi-nii san want me to go to the training grounds?" I whispered to myself. I had finally arrived at the clearing. I saw Kakashi and Naruto, even Yamato. "Hey you guys." I said.

They all looked at me. "Hi, Miki-chan!" Naruto yelled. I waved at Naruto. "What did you need me for?" I asked. "Well I'm training Naruto. So I wanted to ask if you could control the Nine-tails chakra if it gets out of control. Since Yamato can't be here all the time." Kakashi said.

"Sure. Why not?" I said. Kakashi closed-eye smiled. "Ok let's get started." Kakashi said. Kakashi was helping Naruto create his own jutsu. We already know he has the wind chakra nature. I just sat next to Yamato.

**2 Hours Later**

Naruto and Kakashi was still going at it. Once in a while the Nine-Tails chakra would spike up, but it would settle down. That's when I felt a presence and I stood up. "Why are you standing up?" Yamato asked. "Somebody is here." I said.

That's when an Anbu popped out of nowhere. "Captain Hagoromo! The Fifth Hokage will like to see you." said the Anbu and I nodded. "Naruto and Kakashi! I have to go." I said and they just waved back.

I used my Thunder God jutsu and poofed in front of Tsunade. She yelled. "My goodness. Miki stop popping out of nowhere. You scared me." Tsunade said. "Sorry. What is it you needed me for?" I asked. I heard a knock on the door.

Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Kotetsu, Izumo, and Asuma walked into the room. "I am having you go on a mission with them." She said. "What is the mission about?" I asked. She told me about the Akatsuki having a bounty. "Since you know about the Akatsuki members more than any of us." She said.

I nodded. "What do you mean she knows more about the Akatsuki?" Ino asked. "That's top secret information." I said. Tsunade explained that we will be split apart. Ino and Choji is one team and the rest of us on one team since we will be handling the Akatsuki personally. "You will leave at dawn in two days. Dismissed." Tsunade said.

We bowed and left. "The only Akatsuki member that I know that do bounties are Kakuzu and his partner is Hidan. We have to be careful." I thought. "What's on your mind, Miki?" Shikamaru asked. "Oh just thinking about which Akatsuki member we are going to encounter." I said. He just nodded at my response.

"Well I'm going. See you guys at dawn." I said and ran towards the training grounds. Naruto was still practicing put he was trying to cut a waterfall in half. "That seems somewhat hard." I thought. "Hey." Kakashi said. He was right in front of me know. I almost jumped.

"Kakashi nii-san. I won't be able to be here to help out with Naruto's training." I said. "What are you doing?" He asks. "I'm going on a mission to deal with Akatsuki members in a couple days." I said. "Alright then." He said and I smiled. Kakashi ruffled my hair.

I sat and watched Naruto, but I started to get tired of watching so I said my goodbyes and headed home. I went to the dango store. I felt like eating something sweet. While I was waiting for my order, I saw Kurenai. "Hi, Kurenai." I said and she waved. She started to walk towards me.

Her chakra seemed different. I activated my byakugan. Both my Byakugan and Rinnegan are hidden by a genjutsu. When I looked at Kurenai, I smiled. "What are you smiling about, Miki?" She asked. "Congrats." I said. "Congrats?" She said.

"Don't pretend like you don't know. I can sense your chakra is different. You have a little one's chakra." I said. Kurenai started blushing like crazy. "But I'm not pregnant. How do you know?" She said. "Let's just say a woman's intuition. Plus I am a medic ninja too. I can tell the difference in your body." I said.

"You should go check the hospital for a due date." I said. She nodded. "You might want to do it tomorrow because in 2 days, I'm leaving on a mission with Asuma." I said. "I will, plus if you are correct. I want to tell him before he leaves." She said. "Remember to watch what you eat when you're pregnant." I said and she nodded.

My dango had now arrived and Kurenai and I were talking about stuff while I was eating my dango. "Miki. Will you like to be the godmother of my child?" She said and I froze. "You want me to be your child's godsister?" I questioned. "Yes. I want you to be the one since you're the first one to notice and you mean a lot to mean. Also I'm sure Asuma will ask Shikamaru to be the godbrother." She said.

"I would love to be your child's godsister." I said and I hugged her. I said goodbye to her and I left to go home. Once I had reached my house, I went to take a shower. After that I changed and went straight to sleep.

**Morning**

When I woke up, I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. My dream was also weird, but the images were blurry. "I'll probably see it more clearly tomorrow. But I usually see these predictions when someone dies and I'm going on a mission tomorrow too." I thought. I shook it off and changed.

I made some breakfast, but I still had that bad feeling. I tried my best to ignore it, so I went to the training grounds. I was just practicing throwing shurikens and kunais while waiting for Naruto and Kakashi. I had been training for about 3 hours straight.

I took a rest and I finally saw them. "You guys took forever." I said. "What are you doing here, Miki-chan?" Naruto said. "I'm here to keep the Nine-Tail from going out of control when Yamato isn't here." I said. "What time did you get here?" Kakashi said. "What time is it right now?" I asked. "About 10 am." He said.

"So I've been here since 8 am waiting for you guys." I said. "What were you doing while waiting for us?" Naruto asked. I pointed at the logs. "Just some training while waiting. I'm just taking my first break." I said. "You've been training non-stop until now!" Naruto yelled. "Yeah, why?" I said.

"Naruto let's get back to training." Kakashi said. "Are you still training to split the waterfall in half with your wind chakra?" I asked. Naruto nodded. I did some hand seals and created the waterfall. "There you go. But can I try something?" I said. "Sure." Naruto said.

I went up to the waterfall like what Naruto did yesterday. "What are you going to try to do?" Naruto asked. "I'm going to try to use my wind chakra to split it in half." I said. "You can't do it." Naruto said. "Just watch me." I said. After 30 seconds standing next to the waterfall, it had split in half.

"See. I was able to split it in half." I said. Naruto had a shocked face. "Kakashi-sensei, how come Miki-chan can do it but I can't?" Naruto said. "Maybe because she has more control on her chakra." Kakashi said. "But I do too." Naruto whined. "Not as much as her though." Kakashi said.

After Naruto whined for a bit. Naruto started his training to split the waterfall after I tried to and I accomplished. I suddenly felt the Nine-Tail's chakra and I automatically surrounded Naruto with my wood release. "It's okay, Miki-chan. Thanks." He said and I released it. "Are you ready for the mission tomorrow?" Kakashi asked.

"I think I am." I said. "Making sure you are able to confront you sensei." Kakashi said. "I will miss them if we do have to kill them." I said with a frown. "Let's hope you don't have to do it if it comes to that." Kakashi said. I nodded.

It was now about noon so Kakashi said we could get a break. I looked through my scrolls and I found it. It was the scroll that I would put food in and they were still fresh. I took them out and placed them on the grass. "Did you make these, Miki-chan?" Naruto said and I nodded. They both took a bite. "This is really good." Naruto said and Kakashi nodded meaning it was good too.

After we finished eating, Naruto went back to his training. That's when Yamato came out. "It's your turn. I have to do something so I'll come back later." I said and he nodded. I left to the supermarket. I needed to buy some groceries and clothes since I was running out. I found a few outfits and groceries and I went home.

I placed the groceries where they belonged and put away the new clothes I had bought. I was making some onigiri, octopus shaped wieners, and dangos for the mission. When I finished it was about 5 pm. "I guess I should bring them dinner." I thought so I packed some of the food I made and headed to the training ground.

I just arrived and I landed next to Yamato. "YOU GUYS HUNGRY? I brought dinner." I said and they came walking over. "I see you finish splitting the waterfall." I said. I handed out the food and we ate in silence. "Miki-chan? I heard you have a mission tomorrow." Naruto said. "Yeah. Team Asuma, Kotetsu, Izumo, and I are going to handle the Akatsuki." I said.

Naruto was shocked. "Are you sure you guys are going to be ok?" He asked. "We'll be fine. I did beat them once before." I tongue had slipped. "You fought them before?" Naruto asked. "I mean mentally." I lied. He just went back to eating. "Sometimes I'm glad Naruto is an idiot." I thought.

We finished eating and I headed home to get a good night's rest. I changed into my nightwear and went straight to sleep.

That night I had a dream about Asuma's death.
