-One Year Timeskip-

Satoshi Printing Press has published many books. Recently, they changed their name. To date, they have published books written by Menma. The first half of the Lord of the Rings series has also been published under their imprint. Additionally, they have published novels based on popular fairytales such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and others. They also began publishing the Harry Potter series.

-Konoha-

Menma was sitting in a park, watching his children play. He thought, 'Absolutely, I don't regret it now; it's my mother's dream to have a large number of grandchildren. Well, you can see mom, you have thousands of grandchildren. And grandmothers can have many great-grandchildren. I used my mind computer to sleep around one after another. I don't know much about women's psychology, but my mind-computer knows.'

He also looked at the mothers of his children, who were looking after them.

Menma thought, "I don't care anymore, I never even had a dream. I was like a rogue person. For my parents' dream, I will bend fate of many other people. My biological parents in this world have their own dreams. Father wanted to become Hokage, my Mother wanted to see her grandchildren and read new story books for them. My grandfather wanted to see his clan flourish once again. My grandmother wanted to become Doctor. And travel around the world and heal people like a saint. Like they say, Dream never ends. What if I have no dream? A person's dream never ends. I will live and fulfill the dreams of my parents in this world."

He saw one of his daughters playing with another sibling in the mud. Suddenly, he sensed numerous Root shinobi presence nearby. Their chakra hiding technique was slightly different from Anbu's. And they had a different chakra wavelength after suppressing their emotions. He also felt Anbu presence nearby.

Menma thought, "Looks like Danzo has forgotten his place again. I need to give him a reminder."

A special clone bee appeared nearby and flew away.

After an hour, he returned them all to their clan grounds.

-Meanwhile-

The bee split into many bees which flew quietly following the root shinobi to their headquarters. The bees sat on their bodies and some changes happened to them. Even if they checked their tongues, they would not have found out that the code inside the fuinjutsu seal applied on their tongues had changed.

The bees followed Foundation root members to every hidden place. The foundation would be shaken to its core when this matter was revealed many years later.

-Inuzuka house-

Hana is happy to welcome her new brothers and sisters. Her mother recently gave birth to five children - two daughters and three sons.

She sighed and looked at her brother Kiba, who looked even happier than before.

She said, "Kiba, never ask Mom for more brothers or sisters. As a doctor, I advise against it." Kiba looked confused by her statement.

Kiba asked, "Why?" He was still a child and didn't understand anything.

Hana sighed and said, "We are now eleven brothers and sisters. I am happy to have that many siblings, but we cannot afford to have any more. We are already eleven siblings, including you and me. However, even I can tell that our father is different from the rest of our nine siblings."

Kiba said, "Is it a bad thing?" He didn't believe that it should make any difference.

Hana chuckled and said, "No, it doesn't make any difference for us. Our father left our mother and both of us when you were about to be born. I don't like that person. I refuse to believe he was our father. At least our siblings are lucky; they have a father who supports them. Mom gets a lot of support from him. He sends her money for all of us. When Mom can't go on missions because of her pregnancy or taking care of the kids, he even sends clothes for the kids sometimes. I hate our father for not loving us and leaving us." Hana almost cried as she said the last part.

Kiba looked at his elder sister, who was seriously talking. He asked, "Why did he leave us and our mom? Did he really not love us?" Kiba looked a little sad while asking.

Hana said, "I don't know about it. But he used to quarrel a lot with Mom for some reason. Then one day he left without telling anyone. But recently Mom seems happy with having more children. However, don't speak about having more siblings. I don't know who is the father of the rest of our siblings. And Mother talks a lot about him without mentioning his name. She talks about him like he is an elite ninja of our Konoha. But Mother's health will decline, if she gets pregnant again."

Hana is worried about her mother's health because she has given birth to many children.

Kiba said innocently, "So can I ask Mom about the father of our siblings? I want him to send more gifts to my brothers and sisters."

Hana knocked on his head and said, "No, you won't ask Mother about it. Whatever we discussed about our father and our sibling's father, it will be our secret. You will not speak about it." Kiba had to promise her.

Just then a little girl about two years old came out looking for her sister.

"Hanna, Haana!" She quickly ran over and hugged her sister. Hana picked her up.

Hana asked her, "Are you looking for me, Diana?" She added, "Not playing with other children again?"

Diana said, "SSSister's ccryinggg. I sawww it." She tried to wipe her already-wiped-out tears. She was supposed to be the youngest, but now they had even more siblings.

Hana said, "I am not crying." She tried to say it. But Diana was looking at her with puffy cheeks, as if she didn't believe her.

Kiba said, "Diana, want to play with your big brother?" Kiba tried to show off in front of Diana. But the little girl looked at him with a serious expression.

Diana said, "Noo. I will plaay withh myy bigg sister."

Soon, her three other siblings came inside and immediately ignored Kiba and directly went to Hana. Kiba almost felt like he was the lone wolf of the family.

Tsume called from inside, "Dinner is ready; come to the dining hall."

Hana took all the kids and even dragged Kiba, who was still being ignored by his siblings.

They gathered to have dinner together.

Tsume asked, "How are things in the hospital and with your new genin team?" She was worried about her daughter, who had been quiet lately, more serious than usual.

Hana replied, "Everything is fine with my Genin team. The hospital is doing well too. I am also attending classes for Medical Ninjutsu. I plan on working at our clan's veterinary clinic."

Tsume nodded her head. Then she looked at her son. She asked, "Do you want something, Kiba?" Her son looked like he was about to ask her something.

Kiba asked, "Mom, when can I get my partners? My elder sister has Haimura brothers. Will I also get many partners like her?" He looked excited about getting his dog partner.

Tsume has a tickmark on her face. She says, "Your sister is very caring. As a kid, she visited the dog kennel every day and made a great bond with the Haimura brothers. You didn't know how to take care of a puppy. But you still want many partners. You can visit the kennel tomorrow if you want to find one for yourself."

One of the kids laughed and said, "Mom, I'm goinggg to be thhe greatesssttt doggg trainerr and Inuzukaa shinoobi in the woorld!" The kid was sitting beside Diana and Hana.

Hana sighed and wiped the drool from his face as he started to drift off into daydreams far beyond his reach.

Tsume looked at the small boy and said, "Ash, I am very happy that you think like that. Even your father said that after naming you Ash. That Ash is the name of a person who was the best beast tamer from an ancient record on another continent. Diana is a warrior princess name. Grey is also one of the best beast tamers and Ash's rival and his childhood friend from the stories, Violet is another best beast tamer and has a special talent in healing."

Violet said, "Papa neverrr comess and meets usss. I wanttt to meeeet papaaa." She was trying to throw a tantrum but did not know how to do it.

Tsume sighed and said, "You met your father when you were little and just born; he held you close. As for me, it's one-sided love. I can't marry him. So he watches you from a distance sometimes. He sends you clothes, toys, and money every month."

Diana said, "He watttchees us fromm a distancee. But I've never seeeen him."

Tsume said, "Your father is an elite jonin-level ninja, almost bordering Kage level shinobi. You may not understand this now. And it is best for him to watch over you from a distance. He has many enemies, and he does not speak like a normal person. The first time I met him, I heard his poisonous tongue lash out at someone."

She thought about all the enemies, Menma had made inside and outside of Konoha. She didn't want any attention on her children right now. It was better to tell them the truth so it wouldn't bite her back in the future.

Kiba asked in a depressed tone, "Mom, did my dad never meet me?" He could not contain his curiosity.

Tsume and Hana didn't know what to say at that time. The silence descended on the dining table. Even the kids looked at him for a moment.

Tsume said, "Yes, he hasn't met you yet. But your sister and I are here with you. Even if your siblings don't share the same father as you, I am the mother of all of you. Next time, don't speak about that person. And it won't change the fact that all of you are brothers and sisters. We are a pack. Even Ash's father once said, 'When the difficult times come, the lone wolf dies but the pack always survives.'"

Tsume felt a little happy to use the quote which was once used by Menma. She felt that this quote could be used by her clan. She decided to use it as a clan's declaration.

Suddenly, the five other infants began to cry for food. Tsume quickly finished her meal and went to give them some milk.

Kiba saw Hana glaring at him with a deathly glare.

Hana said with a deadly smile, "Didn't I tell you it was a secret between us? Looks like I am too soft on you." She grabbed Kiba and dragged him somewhere.

All the other four siblings ran away immediately to sleep. They didn't want to face their angry elder sister, whom they had never faced before. Kiba was a self-sacrifice this time.
