Miyo sat beside the other servants of the Saimori home before her father and step mother. However, Miyo was the only one among the that was to remain bowing.

" The guests will be here in the evening. We trust that you will do what is necessary to make them feel welcome." Shinichi said.

" Of course." The head servant replied.

" That is all for now." Kanoko said.

As the head servant and the others took their leave Miyo was awaiting permission to rise back up. The head servant looked back waiting for Miyo.

" We wish to speak with Miyo." Shinichi said to the servant.

Bowing, the servant left with the others.

" Do you plan to stay there forever?" Kanoko said.

" I apologize." Miyo said before feeling the impact of her step mother's fan smacking her head.

" I didn't ask for an apology!" Kanoko yelled.

Miyo raised her head while making sure to remain staring at the ground.

" You will make sure this house is spotless before the guests arrive. After which you will reside in your room until the dinner is over. You will not embarrass us!" Kanoko said as Shinichi stood there stoic.

" Now, can that information make it's way into you feeble little mind?"

" ….Hai." Miyo said.

" Good, now get to work."

Soon Miyo got to work by scrubbing down the house along with the other servants.

Later….

" Yea, my parents are making me go to this lame dinner tonight at the Saimori house." Toba said to his comrades at the headquarters gymnasium.

" I heard about them. They used to be a real hot shot clan. But I guess as time went on, the number of gift users dwindled."

" The same can be said for a lot of noble families around here."

" Heh, that's what you get for relying on just what you have at birth. No wonder they enlisted shinobi for help."

" Oh is that how you see it?" Said a voice from behind them

Toba looked to see a young man with short brown hair and a smiling disposition.

In another part of the gym, a man appearing to be in his 20's with short white hair was practicing with a long steel pole. The point of the practice was to continue making his body used to wielding something so large and heavy so that when he goes into battle with a regular katana it will feel light as a feather.

Back by Toba and the other shinobi.

" How rude of me, I am Lieutenant Kisaki. Perhaps you can give a demonstration of what makes you shinobi so superior ?"

" We didn't mean any disrespect sir." One of the shinobi said.

" We're past that now. I want to see what the Emperor covets so much that we started letting shinobi flood our streets like rats…"

" Rats?" Toba said.

" Correct, a figure of speech I assure you."

"…I think I can spare a few minutes." Toba replied.

Moments later the 2 were in a boxing ring in the gymnasium. Toba looked at the old style boxing gloves on his hands.

" Something wrong ?" Kisaki asked.

" I just never fought with these on before." Toba said.

" This is western style…" The lieutenant said getting into boxing stance.

Toba confused just got into his typical fighting stance.

With the sound of the bell, Toba immediately found a fist striking him in the face from the side, knocking him to the canvas.

Stunned, Toba immediately got to his feet. As Toba launched his attack he found his opponent had disappeared and reappeared behind him. But with his Byakugan he could see beind him and reacted by swinging his fist back only for Kisaki to disappear and reappear again mere feet from his original spot.

" Wow, I heard about gift users like you. You can teleport from place to place right?"

" Hmm, you shinobi get good intel. I'm afraid that's not gonna help you much in this situation though." Kisaki said.

Toba then relaxed against the corner of the ring. " Guess we'll see" Toba said.

As Kisaki attempted to teleport to land a strike, he was met with a fist.

" Nani?" Kisaki said.

" I already figured out your fight pattern. You may get a shot off here and there, but you're predictable."

" Is that so?"

" Come on Toba!" One of the shinobi children said.

Kisaki teleported with each shot on Toba, landing a strike occasionally. However, given Toba's extreme proficiency in Tai Jutsu and his Byakuagn , he was able to predict the lieutenant's moves and was now getting a rhythm to how he attacks.

" Enough!" Said a voice from the background.

"As Toba and Kisaki looked to their left they saw the same white haired man from earlier who was training.

" Commander Jiro…" Kisaki said.

" You've had your fun lieutenant." The Commander said.

" Yes sir." Kisaki said as he bowed before exiting the ring.

Jiro then looked over to Toba also exiting the ring.

" Like to make your presence known, is that right Uzumaki?"

Toba rubbed the back of his head smiling. "I guess I'm just lucky sir." With that both the lieutenant and Commander walked away.

" So that should be some conversation for your little soiree tonight." Hinagaki said.

Later…..

Naruto and Hinata walked alongside their son, all 3 wearing kimonos suited for a dinner party.

" Remind me again why I have to come?" Toba said.

" Because the invitation was addressed to the Uzumaki family and last time I checked, that included you." Naruto said.

" Toba…" Hinata began. " We also want you to meet someone."

" Meet someone ? Who?"

" Her name is Miyo." Hinata said.

" Why do you want me to meet her?"

" You'll see why soon enough." Naruto said. " For now, when we get there be on your best behavior."

Toba scoffed " Tell yourself that…"

Later…..

" Good evening, thank you for coming. I Am the head servant of the Saimori household. Please follow me."

As the Uzumaki family made their way through the hallway they came to the dining hall. Coming across a section, Hinata noticed pictures on the wall. They seemed to have mostly pictures of their youngest daughter or pictures of the 3 of them. However she noticed Miyo wasn't in any of them. This further confirmed Hinata's suspicions.

" Welcome !" Shinichi said as he, his wife and youngest daughter stood bowing to their guests.

" Thank you for having us." Hinata said as she and her family returned the bow. " This is our son Toba. You have a lovely home."

" You flatter us."

Naruto then looked to the side to see a gentlemen and a young man around his son's age sitting next to him.

" Ah this is a good friend of mine, Minoru Tatsuishi and his son Kazushi." Shinichi said. " If you have heard the name Saimori it is just as likely you have heard the name Tatsuishi."

" Of course, it's a pleasure to meet you." Naruto said with his family bowing.

Minoru and his son returned the bow. However, his sentiments seemed manufactured.

(((((Flashback))))

" Shinichi are you out of your mind? Bringing Shinobi into your home?" Minoru said over the phone.

" This is no ordinary shinobi family Minoru. The Uzumaki's reputation rivals even that of the Kudo's. Yes they're a shinobi family, but they're still nobles. Getting in good with them may do wonders for our own reputation."

" Shinichi I'm telling you this is a big mistake. Everyone knows you can't trust a shinobi."

" Nobody is forcing you to attend this dinner. We can entertain just the Uzumaki family if you like." Shinichi said.

Minoru grumbled.

((((End Flashback))))

" Please sit, would you like some tea?" Kanoko asked.

" Please." Hinata responded.

As the dinner went underway, The Uzumaki talked with the Saimori and Tatsuishi, Toba was beginning to see that these people were somewhat dry and overly formal. Not that he was going to come out and say that.

" What a buncha stiffs. Jeez this makes me miss hanging out at the Akimichi house. I wonder what Ami-chan is up to right now…" Toba thought.

" We felt that after that simple misunderstanding the other day, the least we could do is invite you to dinner." Kanoko said as she giggled.

" We very much appreciate it tonight has been great. Umm, speaking of which I don't mean to pry but will Miyo be joining us today ?"

There was a moment of pause among the families, even some of the servants. The comment sparked a look of concern from Minoru glaring at the Uzumakis.

" I'm afraid she won't be." Shinichi responded.

" Oh, we understand." Hinata said as they continued with the dinner.

Meanwhile In Miyo's room…..

Miyo sat with her back against the wall hoping she would be able to hear sounds of the voices of the couple she encountered the other day.

" They seem so nice…" Miyo thought. However, as she reminisced how nice it felt holding the hand of the pearlescent eyed woman. Miyo then came to the realization that they were down there right now speaking with her family, which included Kaya.

" But once they see how amazing Kaya is, they'll probably forget I even exist." That was when Miyo took a deep sigh. At this point in her life she knew better than to be hopeful and immediately tried to forget the idea of the couple's kindness as she felt it is short lived.

But Miyo had a new problem to deal with, she found herself having to use the restroom.

Back at the party….

Hinata looked at the various pictures through the home.

" Oh, I see you've noticed our photos, Kaya is quite cute don't you think?"

" Hai she is very cute. " Hinata said. " I see there are no pictures of Miyo…why is that?"

Shinichi's demeanor took a different turn. " I'll be honest with you. Miyo has no place in our family."

" Oh..how do you mean?" Hinata said, holding back her offense at the statement.

" She's frankly wor-… well as you may know, there are several families whom have the gift. Kaya has the spirit eye like myself. Miyo however is a failure who has no gift, mind you this is in spite of the fact that both her mother and I had the gift."

"….I see…" Hinata said.

" You understand I'm sure. You can imagine how one born in the Hyuuga clan without the Byakugan would be treated."

" Of course…." Hinata was trying to hide her anger and disgust.

Meanwhile, Toba was making his way through the hallway looking for the bathroom….

" Jeez, a house this big you'd think they'd have more than one bathroom." Toba said to himself.

That was when Toba noticed a purple haired girl walking down the hallway in front of him.

" Oh, Hi!" Toba said.

Miyo jumped in fright from the exchange as she was caught off guard.

" Jeez, Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Toba said rubbing the back of his head. " Do you live here?"

Miyo immediately averted her gaze to the floor. " I'm sorry…"

" Ne? You didn't do anything. I've been told I have a loud voice, but you can thank my Dad for that." Toba chuckled.

" I-I didn't mean to ruin the party, I just needed to use the bathroom, please forgive me…." Miyo said visibly shaken.

At first Toba was taken aback by this. " Oh wait I get it, you had to be in your room because you're on punishment." He said slyly.

" Come on, what'd ya do?" Toba asked playfully nudging her, expecting to hear a good story of mischief.

" Miss Miyo what do you think you're doing?" One of the servants said walking up.

" Oh, so this is Miyo?" Toba thought to himself.

Toba looked at the servant oddly. " She didn't do anything. I was just wandering around and I bumped into her."

" Please forgive us Uzumaki-sama. Miss Miyo knows better than to come out of her room."

Miyo was surprised. She looked to Toba utterly confused. " This is the son of the Uzumakis?" She thought. Other than catching her off guard, she couldn't sense any malice whatsoever.

Toba looked over to the door behind Miyo. " That's her room? I thought it was a closet or something." He thought.

" Miss Miyo I won't tell Kanoko-sama, but you need to be back in your room."

This was when Toba was starting to understand why his parents insisted that he meet Miyo. "Actually, maybe you can show me where the bathroom is." Toba said to Miyo.

" I can show you Uzumaki-sama." The servant said.

" Actually, since Miyo and I just met maybe we can talk more. " Toba replied.

"…Miss Miyo, show him the bathroom then go to your room immediately." The servant said. As Miyo bowed to the servant and led Toba to the bathroom, Toba activated his Byakugan observing Miyo as they walked.

Later that night…

"Thank you for having us." Naruto said as he and his family bowed before taking their leave.

As the family walked down the road, Hinata decided to already address the elephant in the room.

" Toba…did you get to meet Miyo?"

" Yea." Toba responded.

" So what do you think?"

" Look I know my Byakugan isn't always accurate, but…..there's so much good in her. I can tell she's very kind and compassionate….but she's also very sad and lonely."

" I see…" Hinata said.

Toba swung his hands behind his head. " I can already tell that she's not treated well at her home. Her servants were talking to her like she was a nuisance. In spite of that, she doesn't harbor any resentment toward them."

" I understand, but were you able to get along with her?" Hinata asked.

Toba was puzzled by the question. " Well…sure, we didn't spend much time together, but I think she's cool."

Naruto and Hinata looked to each other as they continued walking. Back at the Saimori house, Miyo laid in her bed, the encounter with the young Uzumaki still fresh in her mind. None of the Uzumaki's seemed anything like the rumors she had heard about them.
