"People change. It's just a matter of whether they die before it happens. Although he died just the way he was."

"The best medicines always taste bitter."

"When I watch this boy, I look back to the time I was called a genius, and think how ridiculous it was"

-Orochimaru

"When people get hurt, they learn to hate… when people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow… and how you grow is up to you"

"They say wherever someone is still thinking of you, that place is your home."

"The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It's not what they do in life, but what they did before dying that proves their worth. Thinking back of it, my story is one full of failures. Tsunade rejected me every time. I couldn't save my friend, I failed to protect my student… and my teacher. Compared with the Hokage who came before me, my accomplishments have all been petty and insignificant. I wanted to die like them…"

-Jiraiya

~Story~

Some loud steps were being heard, getting closer and closer, to where the only female one in a certain group full of legends. The wooden floor of that building made a soft sound as it was being stepped upon. In a certain room, the door next to that girl opened with a loud 'thump', appealing 6 males standing. The girl stopped her movements, which was going to take a sip of her green tea. She looked at the other kids who stopped at the door.

"What is it?" she asked innocently. The 'leader' of the group had that WTF face, and shouted "Don't 'What-Is-It' me! You're the one who should explain things!" the boy said, walking in, being followed by his friends behind.

"What. Is. This?" he asked, or repeated what the girl said, showing a dark green colored scroll on his hand, to let the girl see.

"A scroll. What do you think it is?" the girl answered nonchalantly, and she drank the tea on her hands, just to be ended regretting it because of the bitter sensation in her mouth.

"Of course we know it. But where did you find it?" the boy tried to be patient, and failed miserably, as his voice raised. The girl, Tsunade, took a glance at the others, then focused on her things again, saying "You said I didn't do anything. So I forgot where I found it" she said. The boy and his friends were at a loss of words. They knew they were angry at Tsunade because they thought she was just slacking off when they were fighting, which she didn't. They felt guilty for blaming her, of course.

"Sorry, Tsuna…" the 'leader' of that group, Hashirama, said. "Hashirama-sama is right. Our apologies." Minato added, bowing his head in a really well manner. Naruto, seeing his father did that, just follow him, bowing his head "Yeah! We didn't know that you would find something like 'that'. Our apologies" Naruto mimicked Minato. The others said their apology as well. Tsunade glanced at them again, and smiled, amused. "Ahahaha. Of course I will forgive you guys!" she said with a wink. The others sighed in relief. "Ah! But with one condition…" she started to smirk evilly, making the others tensed. "You have to…" Tsunade paused for a moment. They knew something would happen. Something bad. And true enough… "… Dance naked outside" she finished.

The Hokages had their own reactions. Hashirama turned to a gloomy mode, with bright pink face. Tobirama's face was crimson red, filled with anger and shame to his grandniece. Hiruzen was frozen at the place. Minato had 'that' face full of shock and disbelief, cheeks slightly pink. Kakashi almost fainted, remembering one of the episodes in his favorite book about girls' hotspring and….. nevermind. Naruto's eyes widened and it looked like his mind was off after hearing Tsunade's 'declaration'. To be simple, their expressions were priceless. If there were modern technologies, just think about what would happen to them.

Tsunade looked at the others one by one, and started to giggle, and laughed really, really loud. All the pairs of eyes looked at her, who were laughing, rolling on the floor while grabbing her stomach for 5 whole minutes. After enough of laughing, he sat again, breathed, and said "Just kidding! You are all so funny!"

As soon as she said that, a vein popped on each of the male Hokages' head, ready to murder, I mean, punish the only female among them. Tsunade raised both of her hands. "Just kidding! Sorry, sorry! Ahahahah" she was still laughing, unaware of the killing-intent from the others, especially Tobirama and Kakashi who lost their pride as calm and composed Ninja

"Er… umm.. back to the topic, please" Hashirama said, trying to get things right. The others then nodded, without a sign, they made a circle. Each of them opened their scrolls, revealing the same seal with a different names of things in the middle of it. It was a summoning scroll.

"First of all, what is the thing that's written on your scroll?" Hashirama asked "Mine 'scroll'" Hashirama said, felt a little weird about a scroll in a scroll

"A 'sword'" answered Tobirama

"It's an 'arm protector'" said Hiruzen

"'Kunai'." Minato murmured.

"Ermmm…." For some reason, Tsunade didn't want to answer

"'Books'" Kakashi mumbled quietly.

"A 'pouch'?" Naruto half-asked, half-answered.

They thought about those things for a while, and a realization hit them. Naruto asked Hashirama if they should try to summon those things. Hashirama looked like in a doubt at first, but they all knew that in their condition right now which full of questions, doing nothing was as bad as dying. So they might as well try everything possible to find at least a hint to leave 'that' world.

They decided to give it a try. They put their hands on each of their scroll, and they transmitted their Chakra to it. The sound of 'poff' heard, and a smoke came from the scrolls. The smoke slowly vanished, revealing the things. In front of Hashirama was a really big and heavy scroll. In front of Tobirama was a small metal that resembled a Vajra, mimicking his clan's symbol. In front of Hiruzen was one arm protector, he remembered that he got it from Tobirama when he was promoted to be a Jounin. In front of Minato was his typical kunais, about twenty of them. In front of Tsunade was….. sake. To be expected, alright. In front of Kakashi were books with same size but different cover, with the same tittle. Those were… of course Icha-Icha books. And in front of Naruto was his old pouch. A medic nin pouch, full of medical things that was given by Hinata.

"These are… our things from our times?" Tobirama asked, slowly grabbing the silver metal, which turned out to be the hilt of his so-called Raijin No Ken (*Sword Of Thunder God).

"I think so" Hashirama gulped, staring at the huge scroll. He was sure he brought that scroll when he was fighting with Madara in his past, without much effort. But he was doubting that fact now, or maybe couldn't believe it, as he was struggling to lift that heavy thing.

"It brings back memories" Hiruzen commented with a smile, wearing his old arm protector.

"And very useful" Minato added.

"That's right!" Naruto chirped happily. Tsunade and Kakashi didn't say anything and just enjoyed their things right away. Hashirama realized the excitements of the others, but not letting it lasted for too long, as he fake coughed to catch the attention.

"Alright, let's continue. The second is… where did you find it, Tsuna?" Hashirama said to the point. Tsunade seemed to think about it "Not sure…" she said, still thinking.

"Could it be this room?" Tobirama asked, showing a map of that building that he made by himself. He pointed at a room the he drew there, which he gave the color of red.

"I'm sure it was near the storeroom or something. It was really dark back there, so I couldn't really sure about what was there, but I think there was a desk, so many cases full of books, scrolls everywhere, and things. I saw a box near the door, these scroll were in it, and because I saw the word 'First', 'Second', 'Third', and so on on these scrolls, I decided to bring it outside, it turned out to be ours, maybe" she explained.

"Then it's true. It's this room, near the storeroom" Tobirama drew a circle on the room's picture.

"Why did you mark it with red, Tobirama?" Hashirama asked, moving closer to his little brother, who felt rather uncomfortable as he snorted.

"I couldn't go in there" Tobirama said. The others seemed surprised.

"Huh? You couldn't go there, granduncle? Really?" Tsunade asked in disbelief

"Yeah. I felt like there were so many seals that prevented someone to go in. That's why. How did you end there, Tsunade?" Tobirama glared at Tsunade, making her flinched at the cold stare, even though Tobirama was simply confused of things, not trying to scare he. "Uh.. well, I was looking for you guys, so I searched for all of the room as well as to check on the people in this house. And actually I just opened every door I saw" Tsunade said hesitantly, rubbing her neck.

"About the seal… was it a kekkai or something?" Minato suddenly asked.

"Not sure" Tobirama answered, crossing his hands. One thing those Konoha Ninjas knew… nothing would happen if they didn't do something, fast.

"Then let's check it out!" Naruto stood up with determination. He was the one who couldn't just sit and talk. The others looked at each other, nodded.

"Yeah. Otherwise, we will be here for the rest of our time"

"No one would want that"

"I still need to check our important village"

"Well, the others will take care of everything in the village at the time"

"But not forever"

"..."

"Yosh. First, we have the scrolls with things from when we were a Hokage, Second, we found it at a room next the storeroom. Meaning, the person who 'live' in that room is responsible for, or at least has a connection to this matter of ours. And if we can find that person, we will have at least another hint aside from those masked people" Hashirama said, putting the big scroll back to the small scroll. He didn't want to bring that huge scroll anywhere he went, as well as Tsunade and Naruto. For the rest, they decided to bring the things since it was beneficial.

They went out of the room, but they stopped right at the door, frozen. In front of them was a familiar boy with short, spiky black hair, with a bandage on his head. He seemed to have heard the conversation between the Hokages, and he smiled menacingly.

"So you guys are hiding something from me, huh? Mind to explain?"

That's it for this Chapter.

Please fav, follow, and Review! ^^
