Uchū entered a bar filled with people. He heard a commotion coming from a nearby table. A Drunken Man was yelling at a Woman who was holding a deck of cards. She had long flowing orange-colored hair and had clothing similar to a circus clown. She was smiling as if she was enjoying his tantrum. Uchū paid close attention to the argument.

"You cheated!"

"What makes you think that?" The Women giggled.

"You switched the cards when I wasn't looking!"

"Darling, I'm not capable of such speeds. Maybe you just misplaced them or something." The Women grabbed a couple cards and waved them like it was a hand fan.

"M- maybe I did?" The Man scratched his head then wanders away. The Women spotted Uchū staring at her.

"Why are looking handsome when you can taste." Uchū chuckled and sat at the table.

"So, what are you going to do to me?"

"Nothing darling, I just want to play the good old game of Poker. I'll warn you though, If you're going to play, there's going to be a price."

"If you win you'll get some money, am I correct?"

"Correct"

"And if I win?"

"You'll get me."

"Say what now?"

"You heard right. If you win I'm yours." Uchū laughed.

"I see, you use your feminine charm to lure men over to your little game. And judging by your confidence you never lost a game." The Women smirked. "Very well, I'll play." The Women started cutting the cards.

"One round, that's all I need." The Women said to Uchū.

"Such confidence."

The Women dealt the cards. When the Women looked at her cards she laughed. Uchū looked at his cards, he then looked at the Women who were using the cards as a fan. She gave him a cheeky smile. He dropped two cards and draw two more. Satisfied, he laid them on the table.

"Royal Flush!"

"What! How!?"

"Back in my day we something called Believing in the heart of the cards."

"T- that's bullshit! Your bullshit!"

"Are you angry that you lost or angry that your Genjutsu didn't work?"

"W- what!?"

"I know you tried to use the cards in your hand as a medium to cast Genjutsu. You've been using illusions to make players switch out their cards."

"How!? No one has been able to counter it!" The Women was shocked that her trick was so easily discovered.

"Sooo, guess you're mine now." The Women froze.

"I... don't... p- please..."

"Hehehe, that face." Uchū placed his feet on the table. "Calm down, I'm not going to do anything to you. Just want some information."

"Information? On what?"

"An old friend of mine, you might know her as The Ronin." The Women quickly stood up pushing her chair away.

"Are you involved with that brute?"

"Fear by just mentioning her name. She learned well." Uchū whispered to himself. "You look like someone who's been around. Just want to know what you know."

"What do you want to know?"

"Her location."

"HA, yeah right!" She received an unwavering stare from Uchū.

"Well, if you don't know guess I have no use for you anymore. Maybe I could give you to someone who could use you."

"Wait, no! I'll talk!" The Women picked up the chair and sat back down.

"Good! Location now, please."

"Look, the word on the street is that The Ronin has been last sighted in the Land of Fire. My guess, she headed towards Konoha."

"Of course she is. I'll deal with that later. I've got another issue at hand."

"W- what is it?" Uchū lowered his feet and started tapping the table at a specific rhythm.

"Can you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"The Electromagnetic Waves. They're different from radio waves, dancing to a special tune. Tap-pause-tap-tap-pause-tap. And it continues in a cycle."

"And this means...?"

"Means that someone is following me. The waves are too specific." The Women panicked.

"Who are you? Is the Tsuchikage after you?"

"Nah, it'll take them a while to find me. As of now, I want to find that signal, and you're going to help me."

"Help? Doing what?"

"I'll be dealing with whoever trying to track me down while you will locate the Ronin."

"And if I don't?"

"You will. Not because I'm forcing you but because you keep your word. You were gonna follow the deal no matter what. Because of that, you have my trust and that's something very few can do."

"Why would I want your trust? Hell, you don't even know my name."

"What's your name?" His eyes meet hers. His glowing blue eyes changed, the irides formed a white floral pattern.

"My name's Torikku. Wait, why did I say that?! Y-you placed me in a Genjutsu!"

"Doesn't feel too good, does it?" Uchū stood up. "I'll be off. I'll call upon you when I need you." Uchū left the bar, leaving Torikku puzzled. Just a few moments ago she was tricking men to get richer but now she works for a random guy in a random bar. After moments of silence from her, she let it all out.

"What just happened?!"

Naruto had his face on the table while Kakashi was laying down in his chair, both exhausted from work today. Tsunade came into the room and encountered them tired out.

"Why aren't I surprised?"

"We've been here all day! What were you doing?" Tsunade slammed a piece of paper on the desk making Kakashi jump up from his seat.

"I've dealt with the Daimyō all day. He's not happy at us for dispatching teams without his permission."

"Since when do I need his permission?"

"He just trying to display his power when he clearly has no jurisdiction. I won't be surprised if he does something stupid." Kakashi commented.

"Like coming here?"Tsunade uttered. Naruto read the report that Tsunade brought in.

"Seriously? Is he coming here to complain in person? I don't have the time to deal with him. Tell him to turn back. I'm not going to be here when he arrives."

"Well, we're not dealing with him."

"Now then everyone, we can't let the Daimyō encounter an empty room," Kakashi told to everyone.

"He's right." Tsunade grabbed a chair and sat down. "We have to make sure Shikamaru is here when he arrives." From there the Hokage's formulated a plan to procrastinate and to avoid a headache that is the Daimyō.

Himawari was sweating and breathing heavily clearly exhausted from the training. She took a deep breath and activated her Byakugan. Hinata was filled with glee seeing her daughter brimming with such vitality.

"Amazing, kids your age would be unconscious by now." Himawari smiled hearing her mother's praise. Hinata sat on the floor getting face to face with her, she placed her hand on the back of Himawari's neck. "Can you see it?" Confused, Himawari shook her head.

"See what?"

"My right hand, can you see it?"

"N- no"

"It's because the Byakugan has one blind spot, it's at the back of the neck above the first Thoracic Vertebra."

"Thora-what?"

"I'll explain later. You must be exhausted. Let me get you some water and something to eat." Hinata went inside the residence.

Tired, Himawari collapse to the ground. With the Byakugan still active, she spotted someone on the roof observing her. She climbed up to the roof confronting the figure. The figure was Sumire, who was just sitting there doing nothing. Boruto came into Himawari's mind, he always made time for Sumire. Nervous, Himawari went over to Sumire.

"You shouldn't be wearing that jacket." Himawari was shocked by what she said.

"I... I just wanted something of his close to me. I thought-"

"Not that you dolt, you're training in the hot sun with a jacket on. You're going to suffer a heat stroke if you don't take it off." Sumire stood and help Himawari take off the jacket. It was drenched in sweat and so was Himawari. "Blah! You also need a shower." Himawari simply lets out a sigh of relief in response.

Hinata was watching the two interact with each other from a window. She wanted to be happy for them but in reality, she was concerned. Sumire can't be trusted and her being around Himawari got on her nerves. A spider lowered itself reaching Hinata's ear. It began to speak softly.

"She's right. The child would have collapsed if she continued to practice." Hinata scoffs at the spider.

"She needs to get stronger so that she can defend herself. I won't let her suffer the same fate as Boruto."

"Heh, looks like your Vigilante persona is conflicting with your motherly duty. Interesting."

Sumire gave Himawari the jacket and turned away. Himawari was confused by this.

"Where are you going? You can stay and, you know, talk."

"No, it's best for you not to get involved with me."

"What? Why!?" Sumire stayed silent. "Why did you even come here?"

"Reassurance"

"Of what!?" Sumire ignored the question and began to tear up.

"Goodbye Himawari." Using the Body Flicker Technique Sumire disappeared. With the Byakugan Himawari was able to follow her movement but didn't even dare to try to catch up with her. She was simply too fast. Hinata saw her dash away and pointed the direction she went.

"Follow her." The spider complied and left through the window using its webbing to glide through the air, disappearing as if was a speck of dust. Hinata grabs the food she prepared and headed outside. Seeing her mother come out Himawari climbed down the roof.

"What were you doing up there Himawari?"

"I was, uh... trying to get some fresh air. Yeah, fresh air."

"Strange, I could've sworn you were talking to someone."

"I was talking to myself."

"Oh Really?" Hinata was a bit disappointed that Himawari was lying to her. Why would she lie, especially to her mother? Both sat down and began eating. Himawari rested against Hinata, touched by gesture Hinata laid her head on top of Himawari head. It gave Hinata comfort that her daughter was with her. If Boruto were here it would be perfect.

Team 3 and Team 10 were jumping through trees until they encounter a small plain field. As the Sun started to set the Teams decided to camp and continued their journey at mourning. Moegi sat next to Konohamaru while the Kids were distracted with each other.

"How's the leg?"

"Excellent! It's like nothing happened to it."

"It's good to see you back on your feet. How about Sarada and Mitsuki, how are they doing."

"I know just as much as you. I heard about Mitsuki's strange condition and Sarada's Sharingan but that's about it."

"Aren't you curious about them? About what they can do?"

"Are you implying that we should test them? Hmm, your kids versus mine?"

"What no, that's nowhere close to what I was saying, at all. Let's do it!" Both stood up and went to the other side of the camp meeting their students.

"Hey, guys! We thought you could use a bit of sparring, to help get rid of some of that rust you might have. You guys up to it?" The Kids looked at each other.

"Do you want to?" Inojin asks Sarada.

"Sure, if you guys want to, that is."

"It's settled then! You three versus those two." Moegi was excited to see this match.

"What about you two?" Chōchō asked them.

"Don't worry about us, let's focus on you guys. There's plenty of room here so you guys can really go at it."

"One team on one side, one team on the other." Prepared, the teams went to their respective sides, once in place the performed the seal of confrontation. They were now waiting for Konohamaru signal.

"Mitsuki do you have a plan?" Sarada whispered to him.

"I say we keep them separated. That way they can't use Cooperation Ninjutsu on us."

"Sounds like a plan." Konohamaru and Moegi got a good vantage point to watch the battle.

"Alright, this is a traditional shinobi sparring match. Everything is permitted, just don't hurt each other too much. If your mothers find out you got hurt while on my watch they are going to kill me or worse. On my mark, the match will begin." There was silence as they waited. The wind was flowing through the trees, making some leaves break off and dance in the air. The sunset, illuminating the fields.

"GO!"

Sarada dashes to the right while Mitsuki went to the left. Both launched to air and extended their leg to attack. Seeing the attack coming, Chōchō used the partial multi-sized technique to cover her teammates. When the attack landed it had no effect on her. Chōchō uses her strength to launch them in the air. Seeing an opening Mitsuki extended his arm and grabs Inojin while still in the air dragging him along.

"Inojin!" Shikadai tries to run to Inojin but Sarada got in his way. Sarada took a stance and engages in battle with both Shikadai and Chōchō. Mitsuki and Inojin landed on the ground and both quickly got up. Inojin took out his scroll and started to draw. His drawings came to life as snakes made out of ink comes out the scroll. Mitsuki raises his arms summoning snakes through his sleeves attacking Inojin's Ink snakes. The snakes entangled one another with Inojin's snakes being destroyed after Mitsuki's own snakes bit them down with enough force. The snakes return to Mitsuki and disappeared in his clothing, he looks at Inojin licking his lips with his snake-like tongue creeping Inojin out.

Sarada was exchanging blows with Shikadai and Chōchō. They went for a simultaneous punch but was blocked by Sarada. Using her strength throws them away, Shikadai to the side and Chōchō to the air. Shikadai grabbed his footing, sliding across the ground trying to spot his momentum. He waved hand seals then took a deep breath. He blew a large gust of wind aiming at Sarada, she jumped away as the attack crashed to the ground. Sarada waved hand seals but stop when Shikadai smirked and pointed up.

Sarada looked up and saw a large ball falling where she was standing. She moved out of the way in time as the Chōchō landed on the ground. Chōchō quickly propels towards Sarada trying to strike her down. Sarada continues to roll away trying to find an opening. She dodges once more but this time Chōchō didn't turn around, Sarada notices that Chōchō is now heading towards Mitsuki.

"Mitsuki, look out!" Sarada tries to run towards him but couldn't move. She looks behind and finds Shikadai's shadow has caught her. Mitsuki was fighting with Inojin when he heard Sarada, seeing Chōchō he leaps over her barely getting caught. Chōchō turns around and propels herself in a different direction ignoring Mitsuki. Sarada realizes she's heading her direction, she tries to cover the incoming blow but Shikadai wouldn't allow her. Before she knows it Sarada was stuck directly by Chōchō where she was dragged along the field then pinned against a large tree. Chōchō continues grid Sarada against the tree but slowly stops, confused on why. She was sightly pushed revealing why she stopped, Sarada had stopped Chōchō with her bare hands. Sarada raises her head, her red eyes reflecting on her glasses.

"Uh-oh" Sarada punches Chōchō with extreme force, knocking her out of the Human Bullet Tank form and launching her across the field. Shikadai caught her and was able to carry her in his arm.

"Chōchō are you alright? Can you still fight?"

"She's... mad. Really mad." Sarada came out of the shadow the tree was casting. She adjusted her glasses giving everyone a clear view of her eyes, a fully matured Sharingan.

Sarada dashes towards Shikadai, reacting quickly he throws Chōchō to the side and got his guard up, a decision he regretted. The amount of force she put on her punch was immeasurable. He felt his arms go numb, but he had to continue dodging Sarada's strikes. Shikadai takes out a kunai but Sarada simply grabs it throws it in the ground. Sarada movement was more refined, her strikes more accurate, and she was dodging more effectively. Shikadai was becoming exhausted, he cannot beat her at Taijutsu.

Inojin sees Shikadai struggling with Sarada, he tries running towards his aid but was stopped by Mitsuki. He pins Inojin to the ground using snakes to hold him down. A shadow clone appears next to him and attacks Mitsuki. With the distraction done, he draws on his scroll and a large cyan bird came to life. The bird frees Inojin letting him climb on its back. Mitsuki defeats the shadow clone but is immediately caught by Inojin's bird. The bird flew high taking Mitsuki away from the battle below. Inojin was flying the bird when suddenly snakes attack him, the struggle on top of the bird cause him to lose control crashing into trees taking both Shinobi with it.

"That had to hurt," Konohamaru said to his cousin.

"Yeah, we're getting in trouble for this one."

Shikadai witnesses the event, now it was only him and Sarada. Seeing an opening Sarada swung at him but Shikadai dodges turn his back towards her and deliver a stiff kick to the side of Sarada's head. Sarada responded by giving him a kick to the face. All in quick secession Sarada went for another one but was blocked, she goes for a leg sweep but Shikadai jumps landing on his knees, then using the same momentum she rotated and raised her leg aiming at Shikadai's head but that too was blocked. Shikadai pulls out an explosive tag and lit it taking her off guard. Both jumped away as the explosion occurred causing the ground to shake.

Shikadai jumps out of the cloud, somehow receiving minor injuries. He stands up cleaning his clothing from all the dust it accumulated. He started hearing birds, lots of them. A faint blue light was pulsating in the cloud. Once the dust had settled Sarada had formed a ball of lighting in her hand, it's her father's infamous technique.

"Sarada, I think this is a bit too far," Konohamaru yelled at a distance. Sarada chuckles, she raises her hand up to air.

"Chidori!" Sarada slammed her fist into the ground causing an explosion that rips the ground apart. The explosion caught everyone, especially Shikadai, off guard. Chōchō was flung high across the air, she composed herself and landed on her feet.

"Stuck the landing!" She then collapses to the floor.

The dust cleared revealing a large crater with stones sticking out and Sarada in the middle. Confident, Sarada laid back on a pillar behind her when she heard footsteps in the crater. Surprising everyone Shikadai came out of the ruble still standing after the Chidori.

"No way!" Sarada was baffled. "How is he still standing!?"

"To be honest, I don't know," Shikadai said, breathing heavily. He performs the Hare hand seal and his shadow expand, covering a wide area around him but it wasn't enough to reach Sarada.

"The Shadow Imitation Field. You're too exhausted to perform such a Ninjutsu."

"That's just a distraction." Shocked, Sarada tries to move but is unable to do so. She looked down and saw Shikadai's shadow has caught her.

"How!?"

"Look around you." Sarada looks around and figured what happened. Shikadai had used the shadows of the erected stones to extend his own while avoiding her view of sight. "I took a long way."

"Clever" Sarada turns her head to face him but as soon as she does Shikadai turn his.

"You're not getting me with your Genjutsu," Sarada mumbled under her breath. "Give up?"

"Never!"

"Then, guess I have no choice. I really am sorry about this." Shikadai snaps his upper body back making Sarada do the same. Sarada's head crashes against a pillar behind her causing it to crack by the force of the impact. She was knockout by this move, and with Mitsuki still gone, it means that the match has ended. Shikadai is the last Shinobi standing.

Konohamaru go's over to check on Sarada. Her head was still against the pillar when Konohamaru removed her, blood started dripping from the top of her head. Both Shikadai and Konohamaru began to panic.

"Crap, Sakura is going to kill me," Konohamaru said to himself.

"Is she alright?"

"She'll be alright. Moegi can patch her up." Sarada regains consciousness and raises her hand.

"I'm... not... done." Sarada goes for a punch, but all she does gently taps Shikadai's cheek.

"Easy there, the match is over." Moegi came down the crater carrying both Mitsuki and Inojin. They had twigs and leaves of their hair with cuts and bruises on their bodies but nothing serious. Moegi let them down and started nursing Sarada.

"I'll fix you up in no time. Just don't tell mother. I'll like to keep my lungs where they are." Konohamaru then had a moment of realization.

"... Sasuke." It dawns at Moegi what he meant. If he finds out that his daughter got hurt on their watch then they will suffer a fate worse than death.

"Don't tell your Father! Please! PLEASE!" Both panicked when Sarada didn't respond. Shikadai watches as the Jonin scurry to heal Sarada. He felt saddened that he hurt her. Did he go too far?

An elderly man was sitting in an office studying a map with strange symbols. He had long, white hair, and a goatee. The door opened and two Anbu figures came in. A male with light-blue specifically paled turquoise, hair. He's wearing a raven mask with standard Konoha uniform. The other was a female with light-brown hair and was wearing a cat-motif mask. She was also wearing the Konoha uniform. The male step forward.

"Headmaster, we bring news for you."

"Proceed"

"Konoha has discovered the existence of the Hybrid."

"So the race begins. I have the utmost trust for our agents." The female steps forward.

"We also detected anomalies a few days ago. We came to the conclusion that it's him."

"Him? You mean the Angel?" The Headmaster pondered.

"Looks like we got his attention." The Man said. The Headmaster stands up from his chair.

"We must make haste. Inform our field agents of the situation. If he reaches us before we reach the Throne then we may lose everything we have created."

"As you wish Headmaster." Both left the office leaving the Headmaster all to himself. He looks outside the office. It was a village inside a canyon filled with people. The men were constructing houses for their families, women preparing food for each other, children playing in the streets. He thought of the future and what it might bring. No one will get in his way of creating his Empire, not Naruto or the other Kage's or even the Angel of Justice.

A/N: I finished this chapter, five days after the last chapter, but then due to a freak accident involving an excavator the power when out in the whole area. It was gone for a day, but the internet was gone for like six days. But hey, the chapter came earlier than usual so that's a positive.
