Uchiha Heiress Remix Chapter 42, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 42: New Friend and the Beginning of the Vipers

It's been three whole days since Team Seven, Haku and Yami had left the Land of Snow, they were still on the ship heading back home and will take a day or two to reach the mainland.

The time was early morning as the sun was slowly beginning to rise from the distance, the trio were in the deck watching the ocean as they enjoyed the view. Now that they were far enough from the Land of Snow, they were now in their regular clothing.

Naruto was leaning against the side of the ship as he and the girls were looking at the sky clear blue sky and enjoyed the sunrise. "Man, that was one crazy mission dattebayo." He muttered.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that as she looked out on the ocean. "It was Naruto-kun. . ." She agreed as she looked at her hand. " Naruto-kun?" She then asked.

The blond then looked over towards the Hyuga with a tilt of his head. "What's up Hinata-chan?" He soon asked.

Satsuki meanwhile had her eyes closed but soon opened them when she heard fellow fiancé talking, but decided to keep quiet as she knew this was between the two of them as she looked at the remaining center of what was once her shield. "It's completely destroyed. . .I hope that Tenten-chan can fix it. . .though I shouldn't get my hopes up. . ." She soon thought with sadness.

At that moment, Yami came out from the inside of the ship, but stayed hidden as she noticed the three talking and not wanting to interrupt what looks like them having a very deep conversation.

"Have I. . ." Hinata then started as her eyes had a certain bright look in them. "Have I become stronger?" She then questioned.

"Mmm. . ." Naruto got out. "What do you mean Hinata-chan? You're always been strong." He replied.

Hinata smiled at that, but that wasn't exactly what she was referring. "It's just that. . ." She then started. "I remembered what Itachi-san told me about not losing my gentle self. . .but I feel as though I went overboard with you when we finished of Dotō. . ." She explained.

This caught the blond's attention as he looked at the Hyuga and saw that the question had a much more deeper meaning that just a simple yes or no. "Well. . .I think that your still kind and gentle." Naruto stated.

"But that's just you Naruto-kun. . ." Hinata interrupted. "It's just that. . .I feel a change occurring inside of me. . .and it makes me nervous at times. . ." She then admitted.

The blond however shook his head to that as he caressed the girl's cheek, causing her to blush at the contact. "No I didn't mean just to say that as simply a compliment, what I mean was that you're really are kind and gentle, because someone like you would think of what they did and keep in mind that you can hurt someone easily, but you also have a gentle heart to feel bad for what you did even towards an asshole like Dotō." Naruto stated with a kind smile.

"But still. . .I. . ." Hinata responded as she looked at her hand.

"Hinata-san. . ." A monotoned yet feminine voice called out, causing the three to look forward to see Yami walking towards them. "If it wasn't for you, I would have never taken the chance to defeat the tyrant that caused the murder of my mother and my father. . ." She stated as a small smile began to grace her face.

"Yami-chan. . ." Hinata got out.

Yami nodded as a very small smile grazed her lips. "The change your having isn't a bad thing. . .because it's just you turning into the person you were always meant to be, this helped you change the way the queen had about herself and helped me realize that I don't have to do things on my own." She added.

"She's got that right Nata-chan." Satsuki agreed as she then pulled the Hyuga into a tight bear hug. "You at least know that it's true that you're changing, but there's nothing wrong with that as long as you remind yourself about the change and keep being the kind and gentle girl we love." She explained with a Naruto smile on her face.

Naruto grinned widely at that and Yami nodded in agreement.

"Remind yourself. . .about the change. . .and keep being kind and gentle. . ." Hinata repeated. She then took a deep breath and looked at everyone before smiling herself. "Everyone. . .thank you." She then responded. "I was just a little scared of myself after remembering what I did the entire time in the Land of Snow." She explained sheepishly.

Satsuki then pecked Hinata on the forehead as she smiled at her."See? It's like Naru-kun said, you have the heart to see what wrongs you did and reflect on them, anyone else would simply ignore their flaws or wrongdoings but you don't." She commented. "Nata-chan's just Nata-chan, nothing more, nothing less. dattebakon!" She happily added.

"The kind and gentle girl we love. . ." Naruto concluded with a wide smile..

Yami meanwhile blushed crimson from embarrassment as she lowered her head to where her eyes were covered by her hair. "And. . .and my first friend. . ." She quietly mumbled out.

Hinata meanwhile tilted her head as she looked at the silver haired girl. "Is something wrong Yami-chan?" She innocently asked.

In that instant, Yami's face returned to her calm and expressionless way. "No, it's nothing. . ." She replied.

Meanwhile back in Konoha. . .

Anko sighed in her apartment as she lay on her bed naked, bored and extremely frustrated. . .for multiple reasons. "Mmmmmm. . .Kurama. . .when are you getting home!? I really want my man now!" She began to whine like a child.

The very whiny Kunoichi began to groan loudly. "Well it's bad not having him around, but I couldn't find a single girl to become a part of my Viper Squad. . ." She commented as she grabbed a beer can and took a big gulp.

The Viper Squad was the name she decided to give for her all Kunoichi team when she got the members, well to the team she thought she will have once she got her kickass kunoichis, however it was taking a bit more time than she originally thought it would, much to her current annoyance and frustration..

"I mean it's been a two fucking weeks since I manage to convince the Hokage to let me make my own team, but I still haven't found even a single girl that matches my tastes!" Anko complained in a ranting tone.

What Anko meant by taste were kunoichis that were extremely skilled in their abilities, that had something that made them unique or to just have amusing to add to the mix of her insanity.

Anko then laid her chin on the pillow as she gave off a pouting face. "And those last few missions I that I finally could leave the village we're nothing but fuckin' work! I'm never going to get my own kunoichi team at this rate!" She declared as she began kicking her legs on the bed.

The older kunoichi let out another whine as she drank the remaining alcohol and threw the bottle to the others that lay next to her bed. "Kurama, you now owe me many nights of pleasure when you get back dammit!" She then declared in a slightly drunken matter while groping herself at the thought as her drunken stated influence said thoughts.

Anko's imagination. . .

It was a dark room where almost completely covered in darkness, with the only light available was a small candle light on the floor.

Whish!

"Ah!"

The sound of a whip hitting flesh, follow by the scream of a male that was borderline moan could echo. . .

Then a blurry visual of a woman could be seen, she had a very intimidating yet extremely sexy black dominatrix outfit as she let out a sound of someone licking her lips .

WHISH!

"AH!"

Yet another set of whip hitting flesh and scream soon followed once more.

The image was now becoming more focus as in front of the blurry woman was someone tied by the hands and feet, by the sound of the scream it was clearly a male as he was completely naked and panting heavily.

"Who is your master?" The woman questioned in a serious yet playful tone as the sound of a whip hit the floor.

"Not. . .you. . ." The male weakly rebuttaled in a resisting tone.

The woman smirked as the replied pleased her as she then snapped the whip as she looked at the downed man. "Wrong answer." She then declared but was very happy by said answer.

WHISH! WHISH! WHISH!

"AH!" "AH!" "AH!"

Three more sets of whips and screams followed in section as each time the woman heard the sound of whip and scream excited her even more.

"I ask again now, who is your master?" The woman repeated once more.

"Fuck. . .you. . ." The male replied yet again in defiance but also in a husky tone.

This sent a stream of electricity through her spine as she was biting her lower lip to control her excitement.

This momentary distraction was all the male need as he somehow broke through his bindings and pushed the woman down, he used his entire weight to pin down the woman, making her completely unable to fight back.

The light finally illuminated the woman and it shown to be Anko, as a massive blushed was on her face as she didn't even try to fight back.

Then the same light illuminated the man, revealing to be Kurama in his human form as he looked at the caught Anko with a predator like smirk. He then lean down and reached to the side of her head. "Now. . .then. . ." He started as he went to her ear. "It's my turn now. . ." He growled out in the same husky tone.

Anko soon began moaning as she felt her breasts being groped and then was being pushed forward. "No!" She wailed before. . .

SMACK!

Anko let out a gasp as she was on all four of her limbs as she felt a massive smack on her rear end. "OOOH!" She got out in a pleasure filled tone.

Kurama smirked as he revealed a steaming hand as he looked at the red hand shaped mark on the purple haired jonin's butt. "Now it's time for you. . .to be placed into obedience. . ." He then whispered as he raised his hand again.

The once dominating woman now was reduced to a trembling shadow of her former self as she felt something hard behind her. . .however she felt it be in a place that shouldn't be. . .before she let out an animalistic like moan of ecstasy.

Anko soon giggled pervertedly at what she had imagined in her drunken and perverted mind. "Awwww yeaaaah. . ." She moaned out.

And with that. . .the purple haired jonin hit her alcohol limit and fainted. . .

Back on the ship. . .

Kurama in his human transformation was sitting on a chair inside of the ship reading his Icha Icha book when he suddenly sneezed . "Hmm, Anko-chan must be talking about me." He bluntly stated. "I'll be sure to please her when I get back." He then added in his head as a perverse smirk appeared on his face and continued reading his book.

On the deck of the ship. . .

The Team Seven members and the former Snow Kunoichi resumed watching the ocean.

"Good morning." A kind voice suddenly announce.

This gained the younger shinobis attention as they turn and saw that it was Haku as he too was in his normal clothing.

"Hey Haku!" Naruto stated with a raised hand.

"Morning!" Satsuki replied.

"Good morning Haku-sensei." Hinata politely replied with a bow.

"Ecchi. . ." Yami blunt stated with her normal monotone voice at the Ice User.

The last one Haku was expected, but it still made him sweatdrop. "She will never let that go, huh?" He very quietly muttered to himself.

Yami let out a huff in response.

This made the boy knew that she had somehow heard him, causing him to sweetdrop once more.

Satsuki soon giggled at the interaction, finding the entire moment funny. "So Yami-chan," She then started gaining the silver haired girl's attention. "What made you want to come to Konoha? I mean wasn't the Land of Snow your home?" She soon asked.

". . ." Yami didn't answer as she looked at the ocean for a moment and then looked towards them. "If it's alright with you, can I simply say something brief." She stated.

This confused the rest of the people, not expecting that.

Knowing what her new friends were probably thinking she turn towards them. "I promise to give a full explanation when we meet the Hokage. . ." Yami clarified with a sad tone.

The trio and Haku knew that Yami wasn't comfortable to talk about herself in the open so they nodded.

"Ok Yami-chan, you don't have to say anything things your not fine saying now." Naruto stated as he placed his hands behind his head and the girls nodded in agreement as they smile kindly at her.

Yami soon blushed to that as she shifted slightly. "T-Thank you. . .Naruto-sensei. . ." She replied.

Naruto nearly face faulted to that as he was not expecting that. Then the blond remembered what Yami meant. "Right, kenjutsu training." He reminded himself while scratching the back of his head.

The girls and Haku giggled and chuckled in response to that that.

"How about you introduce a little of yourself now Yami-chan?" Hinata then offered.

To that, Yami nodded as she took a deep breath. "Ok then, my name is Yami Tsuki, I'm 14 years old, I was born and raised on the Land of Snow." She began her introduction as the people present waited with patience at getting to know more about her.

"I'm also swordswoman following the teaching of Bushido, but at the same time the shinobi arts as well, my specialty is are kenjutsu and genjutsu, where I can combine them together to create my original kenjutsu style Mirage Blade." Yami continued as her voice had a hint of pride in her tone.

"Wow! Sounds cool!" Naruto said with an excited tone.

"Yeah. . .I can personally say that that style was really impressive. . ." Haku stated as he shivered at that close encountered with the girl back in Snow.

"And I can give a demonstration of it's efficiency. . .want to be the volunteer?" Yami questioned the Ice User with narrow eyes.

"No." Haku instantly replied with a deadpan tone.

Yami merely tisked at that, feeling disappointed of not getting the chance.

"Did you just tisked at me!?" Haku shouted in annoyance as he knew that the girl really wanted him to be the volunteer while the trio had to hold in their laughter.

Not even looking at the annoyed Haku, she continued. "I like katanas, reading, taiyaki and ice cream. I however have a dislike for perverts. . ." She then stated as she bluntly stared at Haku.

"Not going to even say a word to that. . ." Haku thought to himself with great annoyance.

"That's something all girls can relate to." Satsuki agreed with a Naruto like smile.

"Though it sucks for Haku." Naruto added with a chuckle.

"Naruto-kun." Hinata lightly scolded her fiancé.

"That's all I really want to say at this moment. . ." Yami sadly stated.

The others smiled sadly at that but they decided that if it made her uncomfortable they would respect her decision.

Yami then shyly looked to the side. "B-But regarding the meeting the Hokage and tell my story. . ." She suddenly said, regaining their attention. "I would like your team to be there." She soon requested.

This made the four smile as they were glad that Yami wanted them to be there as it shows the trust she had in them.

Then Yami's face turn back to her emotionless state. "Except him. . ." She stated as she pointed at Haku.

The Ice User merely sighed in response to that. "I said I was sorry for the incident. . ." He muttered.

Yami just huffed again. "But I know you'll still be there. . .you got a fetish at trying to learn things from me. . ." She stated.

"Oh come on! That was not the case back then!" Haku shouted in both annoyances and irritations.

"Stop looking at me you Voyeur fetish stalker." Yami stated as she hid her body with her arms.

Haku's eye began to twitch at that. "At least I'm not a Kuudere that won't listen to reason!" He retorted with a very irritated tone.

The trio let out a loud laughter at that this while the two fighting glared at the three. "I can't believe we just found someone that can get under Haku's skin dattebayo!" Naruto roared in between his laughter.

"Ino will kill to learn about this dattebakon!" Satsuki declared as she had to hold onto Hinata from stopping herself from falling.

"I sorry. . .but it's so funny. . ." Hinata apologized between her giggle attack.

"SHUT UP!" The two in question shouted in unison and then when one fighting with each other, well more like Haku fighting and Yami simply trying to keep her distance from him while saying just one insulting word only.

Back in Konoha, more specifically, the Forest of Death. . .

Sakura savagely ate some meat as she then threw the bone away and growled in annoyance. The girl was only in a tiger pelt as it wrapped around where her non existent breasts and her lower area were.

However the reason for Sakura's annoyance was that the green and pink haired kunoichi had been having great difficulty obtaining food, not because she couldn't find or get it, but because their has been more and more Anbu inside of the forest, thus limiting her moments to remain hidden and for any food she could obtain.

So to avoid suspicion, she would hunt any animal she could find and only take a single part of it and letting another animal eat the rest, this way if an Anbu find the bloody remains, they will think it was just a normal occurrence of the Forest of Death. This tactic worked to fool the Anbu and help her get something to eat, but it hardly fill her stomach that way.

The sound of growls came from Sakura's stomach at the mere thought of food. "Fucking hell. . ." She growled out in a slightly feral tone as she put the fire out and looked towards the sky. "Danzō-sama. . .Orochimaru-sama. . .how much longer do I have to wait?" She thought in a pleading tone.

Sakura soon felt vibrations and the presence of chakra in the forest ground again and then began running discretely as possible. "Damn, I gotta leave now!' She thought as she made a hand sign. "Ha!' She muttered.

At that moment, a small fissure appeared under her camp and the camp site was completely swallowed, then she closed the fissured and those getting rid of any and all evidence of her being there.

"Number one rule. . .avoid leaving evidence. . .if necessary destroy it." Sakura stated in a monotonous voice as she swiftfully moved through the forest. "Earth Style: Mole Digger!" She then declared as she sunk into the earth as if it was water.

Then a few moments later, three very familiar Anbu came at the same spot. They looked around and found nothing. "Strange. . .this was the location of the chakra being emitted. . ." Batta of the Anbu stated.

"Could it be simply one of the animals of the forest?" Tora theorized.

"Possible. . .However there has been reports of this exact situation happening more than just once." Taka declared.

"That is no coincidence." Batta soon stated.

"Be it a beast, we can handle just fine. . .but if it is a shinobi. . ." Tora began.

To that, Taka knew exactly what Tora was implying. "Let us report this to the Hokage." He ordered.

"Hai!" The two replied as the trio instantly shushin away, just missing a tiny hole on the ground closing up.

On the gates outside of the Forest of Death. . .

Sakura resurfaced a distance away as she took a breath to calm her annoyance. "Damn. . .have to think of a new strategy." She thought as she placed a very powerful genjutsu on her body to change herself into an average looking female girl and began to walk towards the village.

As the disguised Sakura was walking through the early morning light, she began to think of what she needed to do. "I first need to get clothes, I should just get them from my home, thanks to Danzō-sama my parents won't even know or care about my where abouts, this will let me keep my profile intact." Sakura thought in a montonish matter.

Sakura suddenly thought of where to go next. "Then I should head to one of ROOT Bases to see what I can salvage and since it's been weeks, they should have given up on any of the bases, so it will be my only place I can remain hidden." She then decided.

With that, Sakura headed towards her parent's house.

Later on at the port of the Land of Fire. . .

Team Seven including Haku and Yami were getting off the ship, while Kakashi was talking to the captain to pay for the voyage.

Satsuki let out a sigh with relief as she stretched her back. "Aaaaaah!" She got out. "Finally back on land dattebakon!" She added with relief at finally stepping on solid land.

Hinata nodded in agreement as she placed a hand on the Uchiha's shoulder. "Yes, it does feel good to be back on land dattebahi." She responded.

"Not to mention we're finally in warm weather dattebayo!" Naruto added with much relief in his tone.

Yami meanwhile looked around like a curious child as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Hmm. . .so this is what the rest of the world is like." She admitted in slight amazement.

Satsuki then looked towards the former Snow shinobi. "What do you mean Yami-chan? I know you lived in the Land of Snow, but wouldn't you have gotten a real look at what the rest of the world is like if you stayed back?" She asked in confusion.

Yami turned towards her new friend and shook her head. "Kazahana-sama said that it will take a long time for the land to actual become spring, and not to mention that the snow would return eventually." She reminded.

Satsuki nodded in agreement to that. "You do have a point, but still wouldn't it be better to stay at your birthplace." She asked again as she then realized that that could had been taken the wrong way. "Not that I'm saying that we wouldn't like you here, because we do. I just wanted to asked just out of curiosity." She quickly clarified.

Yami then once more shook her head to that. "It's alright Satsuki-chan. . .truth is that the reason I don't want to stay anymore also is part of my full back story." She replied as she didn't felt offended in the slightest.

Satsuki let out a sigh of relief from that, then she nodded all the same as she knew that the silver/blue hair girl would tell them soon enough, but before she could say anything else. . .

"And besides. . ." Yami suddenly said as she looked to the side and gaining everyone's attention. "I really didn't like the cold that much. . ." She then admitted while giving a small yet cute pout.

Everyone let out a chuckle or giggle at that response, however for the Uchiha. . . "WAH!" Satsuki suddenly cried out as she had sparkles in her eyes. "Yami-chan's so cute with that pouty face!" Satsuki then got as she hugged the girl.

Said girl couldn't say or do anything as her face was being squished in between Satsuki's breast and shaken from side to side with a blush of embarrassment in her face.

Naruto let out a chuckle at that. "It is pretty cute." He couldn't help but admit.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that. "Hai." She got out with a giggle.

Haku meanwhile chuckled at the display. "Well, looks like one of Yami's weak points has been revealed." He remarked.

At this statement, Yami leaned her head to the side of the breasts she was being squished into, to both take a breath of air and look at the Ice User with slightly narrow eyes. "Ecchi Voyeur." She bluntly declared before her face was squished again.

Haku face faulted again. "Don't just add one demeaning thing with another!" He asked with an annoyed tone.

"Alright alright, enough with the romantic comedy routine." Kurama remarked in his human transformation as he walked towards them.

"How is this a romantic in any way?" Haku asked with a deadpan tone.

"I take great offence to that." Yami stated with her monotones voice.

"You really don't like Haku huh Yami-chan?" Naruto then asked with a sweatdrop.

Yami simply stared at him with a blank expression that just screamed no.

This made the blond soon give an awkward chuckle.

"Though Haku-sensei did say it he apologized." Hinata soon reminded in an attempt to defend her sensei. "Even if he did grope you at the time." She then added in an innocent tone.

"You're not making the situation any better. . ." Haku grumbled out.

"She is just confirming the truth." Yami soon stated.

Kurama merely rolled his eyes to that. "Alright alright, let's just get back to Konoha already." He then added in an antsy tone.

"You just want to get back to Anko-neechan and do it with her." Satsuki then stated with a glare.

"No comment." Kurama remarked as he quicken his pace.

"E-Excuse me Satsuki-chan. . .can you please let me go now?" Yami then requested in a slightly cutesy tone as she was still being held. After all, even if the silver/blue hair girl did like and thought of them as friends, the girl was still older than the raven black hair girl.

At that moment, the Uchiha giggled as she did as requested. "Sorry Yami-chan, I just thought that you really did look cute with the pouty face." She explained alongside the apology.

Yami then blushed pink in embarrassment to that. "C-Cute? Me?" She meekly got out.

Haku merely chuckled at that. "When your not being so stoic and emotionless, not to mention quick to judge and insult others. . . then yes." He stated.

Yami then glared at the Ice User. "I wasn't asking you." She then declared with an icy tone.

"Yeah. . .that's what I meant. . ." Haku soon stated with a sweatdrop.

"Let's just go already!" Kurama then ordered with annoyance.

No sooner the Bijū said that, Kakashi had reached his team. "What are you still doing here? I thought we were suppose to meet at the entrance of the port." He asked.

"Not much, just doing a romantic comedy!" Kurama shouted.

"Ah. . .ok then." Kakashi replied with an eye smile as he then walked pass them and headed towards the entrance of the port.

"Again. . .how is this romantic?" Haku once more asked.

"Still offended to that." Yami then remarked with another glare to the Ice User.

The trio couldn't help but chuckle and giggle at the two as they did thought it was a romantic comedy before they all started getting ready to leave for Konoha.

Back in Konoha. . .

Sakura soon arrived at her house where her family lived. She looked at it with complete indifference as she simply open the door, entered it and close the door.

Then Sakura undid her transformation, returning to her previous state of attire as she walked through the living room.

"Oh, welcome back Sakura." Sakura's mother said when she saw her daughter.

"You're looking well dear." Sakura's father complemented.

The two parents had proud smiles on their face, even though they haven't seen or heard of her daughter's for weeks and didn't even question the fact that she had such dirty all over her body as well as a savage looking clothing.

"How are you doing?" Sakura's mother kindly asked.

This meanwhile made Sakura smile with glee at the sight. "Looks like they are still in Danzō-sama's genjutsu. . ." She thought with satisfaction. "Oh not much. . .just doing some training Danzō-sama instructed me, but I won't be staying for long, I just came back to get some clothing, because I'll be leaving Konoha soon enough for a. . .special mission ordered by Danzō-sama himself before what had happened." She happily replied to her parents.

"Well, you better at least clean yourself up from the training." Sakura's mother insisted as neither she or Sakura's father didn't even think that their was anything wrong with what their daughter just said.

Sakura nodded to that while smiling. "Yes, I'll do just that." She replied as she headed towards her room.

"I'll have a plate of food ready for you when you come down." Sakura's mother then offered.

No sooner she said that, Sakura's stomach growled at the mention of food. "Well. . .I guess I could stay. . .only to eat. . ." She thought. "Alright mother." She then responded as she went to the bathroom.

On the outskirts of Konoha. . .

After running for a long time at shinobi speeds, Team Seven, Kurama, Haku and Yami decided to walk the rest of the way on the dirt route.

"We're finally back dattebayo!" Naruto declared as he spotted the village.

"Woohoo! Back home dattebakon!" Satsuki cheered happily.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that. "We made it dattebahi." She happily stated.

Yami eyes slightly widen at seeing the huge walls that surrounded Konoha and the trees around it as well. "Whoa. . ." She got out in amazement.

Though the ex Land of Snow kunoichi/swordswoman was used to seeing huge walls, like the ones on the metallic castle that Dotō had, she had never seen so much plant life in her entire life. "No wonder Konoha has such good protection. . ." Yami then admitted. "And to think that Dotō was also going to plan taking over Konoha first after he got the fortune he though that was hidden. . ." She soon added.

"Yeah. . .they may had cool looking armor, but I seriously doubt that he would be match against all of Konoha, let alone the Five Elemental Nations. . ." Satsuki soon commented with a deadpan tone.

"Not to mention that Baa-chan would had completely obliterate him with a single punch." Naruto then started with his hands behind his head.

Kakashi then looked at the kunoichi/samurai. "So Dotō was planning to eventually attack Konoha." He stated with a serious tone. When he said that, the girl nodded as he let out a sigh. "Knew he would do that, but like I had said to Nadare, he and Dotō heavily rely on those armors." He stated.

Yami nodded in response to that. "Yes, they did indeed only rely on them. . .and simply used jutsu after jutsu. . ." She stated as the trio could detect an subzero tone when she thought of the chakra armors.

Kakashi also detected it, but he decided not to say nothing on the subject as he nodded at that. "True, the chakra armor did allow them used powerful jutsus and protect them from chakra based attacks, but that's it, like Satsuki and Naruto said, we Konoha shinobi's would had easily defeated them as we have much more than simply jutsu, especially on our home ground." He explained in detail.

Yami once again nodded to that as she looked at the plant life around her. "Yes as they wouldn't have access to their variation of Ice Style that requires the actual use of snow. Because they can only manipulate the water in the snow." She explained.

"That's probably the reason why they wanted to capture Haku, his true Ice Style was to tempting for them to resist." Kakashi stated.

"The same thing with Hinata-chan's Byakugan." Naruto then realized. "Sick bastard, next thing we know, he was gonna try and force them to have babies. . ." He soon growled out at the thought.

Yami nodded to that. "I looked over a recent file from after learning about the ecchi pervert and Hinata-chan that was once Dotō's. . .he was planning to order me or Fubuki to do it with the pervert while Nadare and Mizore with Hinata-chan. . ." She then revealed in a disgusted tone.

"BASTARDS!" Naruto and Satsuki roared in unison to that.

Hinata shook her head to that. "I have no interest in men like them." She stated with repulsion in her tone.

Kakashi then sighed to that as he narrowed his eye. "It's always about wanting power. . ." He muttered to himself.

Kurama turn his gaze at the jonin for a moment before he return it to the front. "You have no idea. . ." He thought to himself as he was well aware of that statement.

Yami then glared at the natural Ice User. "And I have no interest in doing it with a pervert like you." She then remarked with her own set of narrow eyes.

Said pervert let out a long sigh to that. "How long is this hatred going to last?" Haku then questioned.

With that, they continued their walk to reach the gate of Konoha.

Within the Konoha walls. . .

Sakura had just finished her shower as she only had a towel around her body and her hair was still wet. "Clean now. . ." She thought as she threw the towel away and walked to her room.

Sakura then began to think of which ROOT base she should go. "It best to go towards the one that my sensei's trained me during the Chunin Exams." She thought to herself as she headed to her room. "But before that, getting dressed and some food." She then muttered.

The green/pink hair girl then grab the first thing she saw as she entered her room. "That should do." Sakura declared as she grab the outfit that was hanging in her closet, it was the same outfit, a green shirt and pants with a pink jacket.

Before Sakura could turn around, she saw something she haven't seen in a long time, it was the shrine of Sasuke she so adored for many years.

". . ." Sakura said nothing as she stare at it with hollow eyes that were just radiating pure uncontrollable hatred.

Then without a word she placed the outfit in her left hand and raised her right one as she began to channel chakra on her right hand as a loud humming sound could be heard as her wet hair began to slowly lift upwards. She then swung it down and destroyed the shrine.

Sakura continued to watch the broken and shredded remains for a few seconds as little streams of water passed through her feet. "Soon. . ." She said in an almost demonic tone.

"Honey, what was that?" Sakura's mother then asked from downstairs.

"Oh nothing mom, I just accidentally dropped something, but no worries." Sakura calmly replied as her voice sounded normal, but her face didn't change in the slightest.

"Oh! Alright honey. Just come down and eat so that you can go to your mission." Sakura's mother replied without a single shred of suspicion.

"Ok! I'll just finish changing." Sakura replied and began to put on her clothing. Once she was finished putting her pants, she put on her shirt and jacket as, she shook her dry hair. "The fruits of my training. . .will soon get my revenge. . ." She thought in satisfaction and smirk with vile glee.

With that done, Sakura headed towards the door and turn off the lights, as she exited her room and slowly began closing her door, as the remain light from the outside was beginning to slowly darkening her room and once their was only a few centimeters left to close it, the small crack of space left showed Sakura's eye changed to an eerie yellow color and her pupils turn became snake like.

Soon the door closed completely filling her room with pure darkness. . .

At the Konoha Gates. . .

The group were finally just a few meters away from the gates.

Satsuki shivered all of a sudden. "Mmm?" She thought in confusion as she got a bad feeling.

"Satsuki-chan, you alright?" Naruto asked with concern in his tone.

The Uchiha then shook her head in response to that. "It's nothing Naru-kun." She replied.

Naruto nodded to that as he and Satsuki continued walking alongside the others. They continued to walk until they finally reached the village gates where they meet the eternal chunin pair.

Izumo then smirked as he noticed who was coming. "Well well, looks like Kakashi's group finally came back." He lazily commented when he saw said group.

Kotetsu simply nodded in response. "Good to see you all again." He stated.

"You too." Kakashi responded while rubbing the back of his head.

"How is working for Tsunade-sama?" Haku then asked.

Kotetsu chuckled to that. "Irritated and really drunk at times." He stated.

"So. . .Nothing new then." Naruto commented with a grin on his face.

"Guess so, Obaa-chan's running them rampant." Satsuki giggled out with her hands behind her head.

Yami meanwhile looked at the Uchiha with disbelief. "Did you serious call your leader a granny carelessly like that?" She asked.

"Yup!" Satsuki happily replied.

"Well not without reason I can a sure you." Kotetsu stated as he interrupted their conversation. "It just the Hokage-sama has been extremely busy getting the village back to normal with everything that happened." He then added.

"Why is that?" Hinata asked, as she and the rest of the group wanting to know, exect Kakashi as he already knew the reason.

"Oh not much, just to fix the village after an invasion, a hostile takeover and slight mass murder thanks to the use of acid rain." Izumo listed off with a non serious tone. "Do I need to go on?" He added with a deadpan tone.

Yami's eyes widened at the list of what happened as she looked at the village in front of her. "All of that happened?" She then asked.

"In the same month, yup." Naruto responded with a carefree tone.

Yami had to make a double take to believe what she just heard.

"Our village is still recovering from the casualties that occurred at the time." Hinata then admitted.

The trio then let out a sigh to the thought of that. "But it will recover with time." Satsuki then reassured with confidence.

"Yeah! As long as we're here to protect the village and everyone in it, it will all turn out alright and become even stronger dattebayo!" Naruto then stated proudly.

The rest of the group and Yami smiled as they felt Naruto's strong and warm confidence coursing through them

Then the eternal chunins duo finally noticed the unfamiliar girl before looking at Kakashi. "Why hello there." Kotetsu commented at the newcomer.

"Don't tell me you adopted another kid Kakashi." Izumo joked with a smirk on his face.

This made the group nearly began to roar in laughter as Yami looked confused.

Kakashi look at them with a deadpan expression. "Haha. . ." Was all the one eyed jonin had to say.

The duo chunin soon chuckled again to that. "Can you blame us? Your team always seem to bring a newcomer after a long mission." Kotetsu stated.

"No kidding, first Haku, then Tsunade-sama, now this girl." Izumo stated with a chuckle. "Not to mention she's a cutie." He then stated.

Yami's face turn expressionless to that. "Ecchi. . .pedophile. . ." She commented with an icy cold tone.

In that instant, Izumo felt a massive arrow pierced his body and everyone else began to laugh in a roaring way, but more so his partner and Kakashi.

With that the group just walked inside of the village leaving a broken spirited Izumo and a laughing Kotetsu.

Inside of the village. . .

The group were heading towards the Hokage Tower to report what had happened during their mission on Snow. As they walked, the group were greeted with many warm welcoming of the villages and the few shinobis that were still on the village, though they still got a handful of glares here and there as they still hate them with passion, but that didn't affect them in the slightest.

"Man! It's great to be back dattebayo!" Naruto commented once again when he walked the streets of Konoha.

"Yup! Home sweet home dattebakon!" Satsuki said in agreement.

Hinata nodded as she was also happy to be home.

Though still having her expressionless face, Yami stared at everything like a child seeing something for the first time.

Kurama then stealthily joined the group in his human transformation. "Well now, at least it's warmer." He quipped.

"Like that mattered to you when you spent almost all the time in the seal furball." Naruto commented with a deadpan expression.

This made the female members of Team Seven and Yami begin to giggle at that.

But before the disguised demon fox could respond. . .

"KUUUURAAAAMAAAA!" A familiar, extremely happy and lust filled voice called out.

Ten minutes earlier. . .

Anko had just finished reporting to the Hokage about the mission and was now wandering around the village with a very annoyed and frustrated expression on her face that made anyone near her give her a lot of space, because they knew not be anywhere near the woman when she's like that.

"Again. . ." Anko growled out as her shoulders were extremely tense. "I got a mission to get another chance to go outside of the village to a girl and what did I got? Nothing. . .fuckin' nothing but another long ass mission to add to my frustration." She grumbled to herself.

The kunoichi continued to wander without aim she was getting closer to the gate, as she was wondering if she should just go to her favorite bar to drink some drinks.

When she was just about go to the bar. . . "Man! It's great to be back dattebayo!" The kunoichi soon heard.

Anko instantly knew who had that verbal tick as she lazily turn and saw the blond and his team. "Huh, Kakashi and his group." She thought without must care in her tone.

Anko saw that the group was walking towards the Hokage Tower as she saw that the group were being greeted by civilians and some shinobis.

Not really caring about that, Anko then turned around and began heading towards the bar when the realization hit her. "Team Seven. . ." She repeated to herself.

Instantly Anko turned and saw the person/fox she wanted to see as her eyes widen in happiness before instantly dashing off to where he was. "KUUUURAAAAMAAAA!" She loudly and lustfully said as she ran towards the group, leaving a dust cloud in her path.

Present time. . .

The group turn and saw a cloud of dust heading straight at them at rapid velocity.

Kurama then smirked as he heard the familiar voice. "My mate." He bluntly declared with pride and satisfaction.

The Uchiha however glared at the disguised demonic fox. "Ero-kitsune. . ." She growled out.

Before anyone else could say anything more, the dust cloud reached them and Anko jump straight at Kurama's arms. "My apartment, seven hours, nonstop." She ordered.

"Deal!" Kurama instantly responded with a smirk.

"ANKO-NEECHAN!" Satsuki roared with a massive blush on her face at what she was ordering.

"ERO-FOX!" Naruto also roared, but to his tenent.

Meanwhile, Hinata's face had turned to one of the past as it turned crimson at what the two were planning to do.

Yami meanwhile blinked at the display. "Who is this?" She then asked with a tilt of her head.

"Anko Mitarashi, she is a Tokubetsu jonin here in the village known as the Snake Mistress." Kakashi then introduced.

"And dear friend of them." Haku added as he chuckled at the trio's reaction.

Yami blinked once more to that, before she too realized what the kunoichi implied. "Ecchi. . ." She stated.

Anko then glared at the silver haired girl after hearing that while she continued hugging the disguised demon fox. "And you are?" She then questioned.

"Yami Tsuki." The former Snow Shinobi answered in a monotone voice.

The kunoichi raised an eyebrow as she released the disguised kitsune. "Where did you guys got this serious albino looking brat?" Anko asked as she pointed at her silver/blue haired girl.

Yami's eye twitched as in an instant drew her blade and faster then anyone could react, she placed her blade under the purple haired special jonin's chin. "Never. . .insult. . .my hair. . ." She threatened with a dead serious tone.

Everyone had their eyes and mouths wide open to that threat given. "Yami-chan. . ." Satsuki got out in shock.

Anko on the other hand wasn't really mad or offended at this action as she only raised an eyebrow to that. "Hmm, she seems to good with that blade of hers. . ." She thought as she looked at the girl's eyes, there she saw pain and anger in them.

Anko realized that this threat Yami gave wasn't out of arrogance or a sense of superiority, but out of feeling insulted to something she truly cared about and that she had really hurt her. "Alright, I'm sorry I insulted your hair." She then apologized with honesty.

". . ." Yami said nothing as she stared at the older woman for a moment, then once she saw that she was being honest, she retracted her blade away from her. Then she placed it back on her sheath and nodded. "I apologize for overreacting." She then told her as she gave a polite bow.

Anko merely chuckled to that as she then ruffled the girl's head much to her annoyance. "Ah it's no big deal." She responded as she loved the annoyed expression on Yami's face. Then she turned towards the trio. "So anyone want's to tell me how you meet this girl?" She then asked.

Satsuki then placed a hand on the silver haired girl's shoulder, causing said girl to blush at the contact. "Like she said, she's Yami-chan, she's from the Land of Snow. Like Haku, she was an enemy turned ally basically." She explained.

"Oh? So it's another bad guy turn comrade thing again?" Anko asked with a chuckle. "It didn't end like the last time it happened did it?" She then added in a joking tone.

The trio chuckled as well to that except for Kakashi and Haku. "Nope it didn't, but she's also really strong from what we heard from Haku." Satsuki stated with a smile.

This got Anko's full attention as she raised an eyebrow. "Really. . ." She got out as she turned towards the girl in question. "How strong exactly?" She then asked with a small smile on her face.

"Hmm?" Kurama got out when he saw the unusual look on Anko's face.

"She's really strong, she's like me, a really strong kenjutsu user dattebayo!" Naruto commented, though he didn't saw the fight between her and Haku, he easily knew she was strong during the final battle with doto.

Anko's small smile then turned into a wide one.

"Um. . .Anko-chan?" Kurama got out but was ignored.

"I still have a long ways to got to be a true user of the sword, but I am thankful for your kind words." Yami stated with a small bow.

Satsuki chuckle at the girl's honesty. "But you did kicked Haku's ass!" commented, much to Haku's annoyance, but didn't say anything because he did lost.

Anko's wide smile turn into a smirk.

"Oi. . .Anko-chan. . ." Kurama once more got out, but again was ignored.

"Not before he resulted to ecchiness. . ." Yami added with an icy cold tone.

"I have said before that what happened then was an accident you Kuudere. . ." Haku then stated with narrow eyes.

Hinata couldn't help but giggle at her sensei's dismay. "Yami-chan also told us that she's also a very skilled genjutsu user." She commented after she remembered girls short introduction. "And she can combine it with her kenjutsu to make a unique kenjutsu style that full's a person's eye and make attacks come from another direction than what they perceived." She added.

Anko's smirk soon turned into one of pure glee at what she was learning about this new arrival.

"You ok?" Kurama soon asked his mate, but got nothing again.

"Well. . .I can attest to that, she's also uses this impressive style in combination of her immense speed that could almost rival mine when I used my Ice Mirror jutsu." Haku commented.

"We didn't need your input. . .Ecchi. . ." Yami stated with her emotionless tone as the Ice User just sighed while the trio began to chuckle at his dismay.

Well, that did it. . .Anko's face turn into one of sinister smile that would haunt the lesser man.

To this, Kurama actually had to take a step back when he saw that as his face actually looked scared. "Uh oh. . ." He thought as he saw something akin to a predator founding a prey after a long time of not eating.

Anko slowly and hungrily began to stalk the distracted pre- I mean silver/blue haired girl. "Yessssss. . .I found one. . ." She hissed out with insane glee.

Then the younger shinobis felt a shiver of terror as they slowly began to turn and saw a mons- I mean Anko looking at them, more specifically at the startled Yami, while panting heavily as drops of drool began to fall from her mouth.

"W-What is this. . .?" Yami got out in confusion and fear. "I don't sense anything dangerous from her. . .but I can still feel danger from this woman. . ." She thought.

The trio and Haku at this point was now starting to gulp in unison while Kakashi merely sighed at the sight. "A-Anko-neechan?" Satsuki asked in confusion.

"The hell dattebayo?" Naruto muttered in confusion.

"Oh no. . ." Kakashi groaned out as he palmed his face.

But before anyone could react, Anko held Yami's shoulders while the poor girl was stupefied. Anko then smile evilly as snakes began to slither out of her coat and began to wrap around the startled girl. "MINE!" She roared as she snatched the girl and ran towards the Hokage Tower, leaving a trail of dust behind and laughing insanely all the way.

"OI! WHAT ABOUT ME!?" Kurama called out as he then chased after her.

Everyone else just stand there with a stupefied expression as their eyes were pure white and had no pupils.

"Wha?" Naruto then got out.

"The hell just happened dattebakon?" Satsuki got out.

"I. . .I. . ." Hinata barely said.

"Did Anko-san just kidnap Yami?" Haku asked as he was a bit more composed.

"Why yes Haku, I believe so. . ." Kakashi simply stated.

". . ." Everyone said nothing as they processed what just happened, then. .

"WHAT!?" The trio shouted in unison.

Further away. . .

"MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" Anko frantactly declared in a possessive like manner as was running at full speed and laughing in an insane way.

"H-Hey! Let me go!" Yami shouted as was still being bounded by the snakes while struggling to break free.

Anko however continued to laugh insanely. "NEVER! YOUR MINE NOW!" She insanely replied.

"What are you going to do with me!?" Yami asked with terror in her voice.

"OI ANKO-CHAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Kurama called out as he caught up to her.

Once Anko heard the Bijū shouting at her, she turn and looked mad. "SHE'S MINE YOU HEAR ME! MINE!" She declared as she ran even faster.

"I'M NOT AN OBJECT! I'M A PERSON!" Yami declared in a frantic matter.

"OI! WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT!?" Kurama then called out as she ran after them.

Anko didn't stopped running but she did drool a little to that. "TEN HOURS STRAIGHT NOW!" The purple haired jonin declared and continued running.

"OH FUCK YEAH!" Kurama then thought in excitement and a bloody nose as he run after her.

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!" Yami shouted in terror as it echo throughout the village.

A few meters away. . .

Team Seven and Haku were now running after the possessed Anko and the kidnap Yami.

"Never a dull day in Konoha. . ." Haku admitted with a sweatdrop.

"Yup." Kakashi responded with his own sweatdrop. "Well, whenever this three are involved at least. . ." He added.

"OI!" Said trio replied in annoyance but didn't stopped their running.

Kakashi and Haku chuckled at that. "Well, it works on our favor." Kakashi stated.

"How!? Anko kidnapped Yami-chan!" Naruto asked in a frantic matter.

"I really don't see this being beneficial in the slightest!" Hinata commented in an equally frantic tone.

"We'll save you Yami-chan!" Satsuki declared while flailing her arms frantically.

Kakashi gave an awkward chuckle to trio's statements. "At least they're heading for the Tower, it's where we're going anyways." He responded the blond's question.

"THAT HARDLY HELPS!" The trio replied as they began to run even faster speeds.

The one eyed jonin just sweatdropped at that. "It's as you said Haku, never a dull moment in Konoha. . ." He got out.

Haku in response only chuckled with amusement as the father and son duo also ran faster.

Elsewhere in Konoha. . .

Sakura placed her chopsticks in front of the empty and dirty plate. "Thank you for the food. . ." She got out in a fake happy tone.

Sakura's mother merely smiled to that. "Well honey, it seems you were hungry." She said without a care in the world.

"Yes. . .I had been training very hard that hardly had any time to eat." Sakura replied. She then looked at the door. "I better be going now, training never stops." She then explained.

Sakura's father then laughed as he placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "That's our girl! Making our family proud by becoming an great shinobi!" He stated with pride.

"But do be careful will you sweety?" Sakura's mother meanwhile requested.

Sakura only smiled and stood up, then she headed towards the door and left without saying goodbye.

Once she was outside, her smile fade and turn into a sneer. "Worthless weaklings. . ." She insulted at the thought of her own parents. "Now for the ROOT base. . ." She then thought in a monotone matter as she walked down the streets.

As the girl walked through the streets, she noticed the civilians and shinobis going about their daily lives with the addition of fixing up some of the buildings from the aftermath of the civil war. "Things were better under Danzō-sama's control. . ." She thought with disdain.

In Sakura's mind, how things were before were better because the weak were being get rid off while only the strong lived, now that she see the weak still breathing made her very disgusted at breathing the same air.

"When I leave. . .I will make sure Otogakure will become the strongest village. . ." Sakura thought in excitement at the thought.

Then Sakura's side vision saw something that made her quickly hid behind an alley as she blend in the shadows while masking her chakra signature. "Damn. . ." She growled angrily.

"So Kurenai-sensei, what's our next mission?" Kiba asked with his hands behind his head with Akamaru barking happily on his head.

Kurenai giggled to that. "We still need to file the report Kiba." She answered.

Kiba groaned at that, as the dog user was very annoyed by that part of being a chunin. "I hate paperwork. . ." He got out with an annoyed tone while the white puppy whined out in agreement.

Kurenai then sweatdropped to that. "That's the bane of every shinobi in existence." She then remarked.

Shino nodded in agreement to that. "However it is something all shinobi's must apply after each mission." He commented.

"Rather go on high level mission than do spend hours on end with a scroll and ink on my hands doing paperwork. . ." Kiba whine once more.

"Kiba. . ." Kurenai then got out, though didn't blame her student.

"Regardless, you must be patient Kiba, you may be a chunin, but we are still too young to go on some of the higher ranking missions unless it's necessary." Shino then stated in a calm tone.

Kiba then sighed to that. "Yeah yeah. . ." He then responded in a defeated tone.

Sakura continued to watch from the shadows as she grinded her teeth, while she was restraining herself over how her former team was doing. "Damn them. . ." She growled out. "They think they are so great now just because their chunins now. . .they're nothing but fools and weaklings that don't even have power I have. . ." She thought in fury.

Sakura was once again glad to had cut her ties with this team that would only had held her back and never given her that power she had gained. "Damn them to hell. . ." She then muttered as she walk through the alley to get to her destination.

As she was walking through the village she began to hear the civilians talk.

"Hey did you hear? Team Seven's back!" One of the newest fangirls exclaimed in excitement.

"Really? That means Hinata-sama and Satsuki-sama are back!" A male fanboy exclaimed.

"Our goddesses is back!" Another fanboy shouted as others were equally excited.

"EEEEEE! Naruto-sama's returned!" A multiple fangirls squealed with delight.

"GET BACK TO WORK YOU IDIOTS! WE GOT A VILLAGE TO FIX UP AFTER THAT DAMN BASTARD DANZŌ FUCKED THINGS UP!" An older civilian barked out in annoyance.

"Ugh, don't remind me about that, I'm still sore from the forced training my body went through." Another villager groaned out.

Every time Sakura heard those praises at the demons and insults on Danzō made her grind her teeth together with fury. "How dare they praised those demons! How dare they insult Danzō-sama for nearly bring this village to what it should had been!" She thought hatred as she wanted to slit those demon lovers necks, but stopped herself for two reason.

"They're weak. . .their thoughts mean nothing for the strong and Danzō-sama rule of never let our emotions cloud me. . ." Sakura told herself as she didn't want to dirty her hands with those that are weak nor did she wanted to go against her master's teachings.

With that, she began to fade into the shadows once more as she looked at the civilians with an expressionless face, but her eye were filled with nothing but a murderous intent. "Glory to Danzō-sama! Glory to the true Shinkage!" She thought as she had faded into the darkness.

In the Hokage Tower. . .

In her office, Tsunade had just finished her ridiculously large stack of paperwork as she smirked with satisfaction. "Yes! Finally done!" She declared as she then went into her desk drawer and took out a bottle of sake. "Now, my reward since Shizune is getting more supplies!" She added in anticipation.

Just as she was about to drink it however. . .

BANG!

WHISH!

SLAM!

The sound of the door violently open and the sound of papers were flying everywhere. "TSUNADE-SAMA! I FOUND ONE!" Anko declared in excitement.

"MMM!" A mouth tied Yami shouted as her mouth had a snake to make her stop screaming.

The Hokage however was in a state of frozen as she was still holding her bottle as her smile was more forced than anything else.

The human transformation Kurama then entered the office. "Finally. . ." He got out as he then looked at the sight. "Oh boy. . ." He got out.

Tsunade without opening her eyes looked at where her finished paperwork used to be and look around as she saw it spread all over the floor. Then Tsunade slowly and mechanically lower her bottle and placed it to the side. "Anko. . ." She then began in a menacing tone. "Why are you here?" She then questioned.

Said kunoichi was to excited to even notice the current state of the pissed of Hokage. "I found a girl for my team!" She shouted in glee.

"MMM!" Yami cried out.

"Team?" Kurama then questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I see, I see. . ." Tsunade replied as she shook her head while forcefully smiling. "You found one, that's good. . ." She added.

"Hell yeah! It took me weeks but now I can officially get my team!" Anko shouted.

"You wanna explain what your talking about Anko-chan?" Kurama soon asked.

But before Anko could say a word. . .

CRACK!

The sound of the desk was beginning to break, both Anko and Kurama turn and saw Tsunade's still fake smiling as a red aura of rage surrounded her. "And that. . ." She began to to say as the aura was growing large. "Give you the right. . ." She continued as the two in front and Yami were quivering in terror. "TO FRICKIN' RUINING AN ENTIRE WEEK'S OF PAPERWORK I SLAVED OVER!" She roared as she destroyed her desk.

The now terrified Anko held the equally terrified Yami as she could only gulp. "Um. . .yes?" She got out.

"Oh shit. . ." Kurama thought.

Wrong. . .Answer. . .

Outside of the Hokage Tower. . .

Team Seven had finally reached the tower as they panted a bit.

"Finally! Let save-" Was all Naruto got to say when.

BOOM!

And explosion came from the top of the tower as a desk was sent flying to the other side of the village, on an unrelated note, the team saw and heard a crimson blur screaming alongside the desk.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" A familiar male voice roared through the air as it slowly echo away.

". . ." The group just stood there as they saw the flying object with a stun expression, as if they were trying to process what they just saw.

"That was Kurama wasn't it. . ." Naruto stated with a deadpanned expression.

The rest nodded in unison to the question asked.

"Yeah. . .I thought so. . ." Naruto replied as he sweatdropped.

With that the group rushed inside.

Back inside. . .

The terrified Anko and Yami looked at the enraged beyond pissed off Tsunade in a kicking position.

"Really sorry about that Kurama. . ." Anko got out as she gave awkward chuckle. "I'll give him twelve hours now tonight. . ." She then decided in her head.

What had happen was that an enraged and murderous Tsunade charged at the kunoichi to do what just happen, but Anko's survival instincts kicked in and quickly used one of her snakes to grab Kurama to placed him right in the path of a pissed off Hokage. Said woman really didn't cared as she grabbed the immobilized Kurama and slammed him into the desk hard enough to break it in half and then for her to kicked it with all her behemoth like strength. Those sending him flying.

Then Tsunade manage to calm down somewhat as she turned towards the intercom on the floor and grabbed it. "Tell the Anbu that I'm in no danger what so ever and. . .Send up another desk. . ." She ordered the secretary.

"Hai." The secretary calmly replied as she didn't found the order strange in the slightest.

Instantly an Anbu came, he took out a scroll and unsealed a desk as he then gave a respectful bow to their leader before he left.

Tsunade then sat down her new desk after she grabbed her bottle of sake and began drinking it as she looked at the silver haired girl. "So who is she?" She then questioned.

Seeing that Anko wasn't going to be killed she calmed down and happily smiled. "This is my new member of my team!" She declared as she picked up the still tied, gagged and terrified girl by the arms.

"MMM!" Yami muffled out.

"It looks like you kidnapped her to me." Tsunade commented with a sweatdrop.

"What? No!" Anko innocently said. "She was going to come here with the gaki's anyways." She answered with a smile. "Right? Um. . .what's your name again?" She asked the girl.

"MMM!" Yami muffled an angry replied.

Tsunade then smacked her forehead. "Release her now and unbind her mouth." She ordered.

"Eh? Why? She like it." Anko replied with a smirk.

"MMM!" Yami again muffled with more anger than before.

"Anko. . ." Tsunade called out with her temper slowly beginning to rise.

Taking the hint, Anko then pouted. "Spoilsport. . ." She mumbled as she commented her snakes to release the girl.

"GAH!" Yami shouted as she took a deep breath. "What. . .was that. . .all about!?" She exclaimed with a twitching eye.

"WE LIKE TO KNOW TOO!" Three very familiar voices declared in unison.

The three woman turn and saw Team Seven entering the room. Instantly Yami ran faster than anyone thought possible and hid behind the trio.

Anko whistle with a smirk on her face as Tsunade looked impressed by the speed of the girl that she nearly missed her move. "That's quite the speed." They thought in unison.

"Are you alright Yami-chan?" Satsuki asked with worry. "Anko-neechan didn't scared you did she?" She then added.

"Terrified. . ." Yami replied as she glared at Anko. "Should have cut her throat when I had the chance. . ." She grumble.

Anko only smirked wider at that. "I like your attitude." She commented with a sadistic smile and licked her lips.

Yami then shivered as she hid behind the Team Seven members. "What in the world is wrong with her!?' She whispered. "She's insane!" She added.

The trio however just chuckled awkwardly to that. "That's Anko-sensei/Nee-chan for ya. . ." They replied in unison.

Then a hand came from the destroyed wall of the building, then red hair soon follow and finally the head of a busted face Kurama came. "Love you babe, but that really hurt. . ." He complained as he walked towards them while he healed himself.

Anko then rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry about that, after searching for girls for so damn long to be part of my all kunoichi team coming up with jack shit for two weeks made me a little. . .agressive, I was just glad to meet a skilled girl like her." She explained.

"Wait what?" Naruto got out.

"An all kunoichi team?" Hinata and Satsuki asked in unison.

"What is all of this about anyway?" Yami then questioned.

Tsunade then sighed as she looked at the purple haired jonin. "If you want the basic explanation, Anko here came up with the idea to start her own squad involving only kunoichis because of some of the sexist villagers." She stated.

"EH!?" The Team Seven members exclaimed in unison.

"Leave it to Anko to think of something like that. . ." Kakashi commented with sigh escaping his mouth as he and Haku came into the office.

Yami then pointed to herself while blinking. "You want me to be on your team?" She then asked with curiosity.

"Hell fuckin' yeah! I want some kick ass kunoichis! But not from the village since most are just fangirls!" Anko declared in a whining tone.

"Can't argue there dattebakon." Satsuki admitted with a sweatdrop. "Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good kunoichis, but those are a dying breed." She added.

"I know right!?" Anko shouted as she disappeared and reappeared next to Yami as she hugged her. "And that's why your going to be on my team! Those sick sword moves and that speed will be perfect!" She declared.

Yami meanwhile was struggling from the tight hug of the older kunoichi before she manage to get her head free and breath again. "I-I see. . ." She got out.

Tsunade then nodded to that. "However if Anko did have her team that are made of kunoichis not born in Konoha it would be her responsibility as bringing foreign girls is risky." She revealed. "And if they were to betray the village in any way, it will lead to a death sentence." She added with a dead serious tone.

The trio gulp in unison at the heavy punishment.

Then the blond thought of something. "But what about Fū-chan?" Naruto then asked.

"She was an exception, she had explained her situation to the Third when he was in charge of the village." Tsunade stated in a calm manner.

"You mean because of her jinchūriki status?" Satsuki then asked.

"Actually that was a headache in on itself. . ." Tsunade commented with a loud groan as she didn't want to say anything in front of Kurama as she remembered the last time she did said something about other Bijūs and she wasn't going to repeat that mistake ever again. "But I won't bother you with details, just know that reason wasn't the sole one." She then added as she then looked at the silver haired girl. "Moving on from that topic, how about you introduce yourself now." She soon requested.

Said girl then straightened herself up as she looked at the Hokage with politeness. "O-Of course Hokage-sama." Yami responded as she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she know that this was going to happen sooner or later, but she thought it would had been a bit later.

"Finally some respect. . ." Tsunade thought in relief.

"I'm sorry to interrupt,." Kakashi suddenly said as he raised a hand and gaining everyone's attention. "But I believe that before we make any introductions, we should tell the Hokage about the mission, that way she will understand about Yami-san's backstory and situation." He advised.

Tsunade nodded to that. "Very well, I do think I have to hear it." She stated as she lean back into her chair.

Everyone, save for Anko and Kurama, nodded in agreement as they began to individually or in group tell the events of the mission from everyone's view point. From when they met Yukie, when they were attack by Dotō's Snow shinobis on the artificial iceberg.

Then they told the Hokage about their brief sightings of the Land of Snow, the second assault of the Snow shinobis, the fight between Haku and Yami, to which everyone had to hold back a roaring laughter when they heard how it ended.

Afterwards they told her about Hinata's and Yukie's kidnapping as well as their rescue and finally reporting each of their final battles ending in Dotō's complete defeat and Yukie being coronated as the new ruler of the Land of Snow, soon to be the Land of Spring when their research was complete.

"And, that's how it all ended." Kakashi finalized. "Dotō's now dead thanks to Naruto and Hinata made the final blow thanks to Satsuki and Yami giving them an opening, however in the end it was a team effort of the four that Dotō was killed and we also ended up getting a new ally." He then added.

Anko couldn't help but let out a whistled as she was very impressed to what the kids did all by themselves. "Damn, that's one hell of a mission." She commented with a proud tone.

"I believe that a congratulation on not only accomplishing the mission, but also help Konoha gain a potential new ally." Tsunade praised with a smile on her face as she too was proud of her godson and the girls.

The trio and Yami couldn't help but smile a bit bashfully at the praise "Thanks for that Baa-chan! But we're just glad to had help out the people. After all that's what heroes are all about!" Naruto stated with a big grin as for him the feeling of helping those in need was all the reward he needed.

"Should you really call Hokage-sama that?" Yami then questioned.

Satsuki however giggled to that. "Ah it's all in good fun, especially since Obaa-chan's his godmother." She explained.

"Eh? Naruto-sensei's. . ." Yami got out as she couldn't believe what she just heard.

Tsunade and Anko then raised an eyebrow to that. "Sensei?" They both asked.

"We'll explain later dattebayo." Naruto replied with a wave of his hand.

"It's true, Tsunade-sama is Naruto-kuns godmother." Hinata confirmed.

Yami's eyes widen as she looked at the Hokage and then back at Naruto. "That must be an honor Naruto-sensei." She admitted.

Tsunade could only smile sadly at that. "Trust me when I say, that if there's anyone honored by this, it would be me. . ." She declared with a mixture of happiness, sadness, shame and pride.

This both confused and impressed Yami at what the leader of all Konoha would say such a thing. "Naruto-sensei must really be an incredible person." She thought to herself.

Those that already knew about Tsunade could only watch her with sad and concerned eyes.

However Tsunade shook her head as she knew this wasn't the time nor the place for that. "Moving on, now that I know what had transpired during your mission, how about you tell us more about yourself." The Hokage then requested to the former Snow Shinobi.

"Hai." Yami replied while giving a polite bow.

Everyone was waiting patiently for the girl to began as everyone, even Anko knew from her brief encounter that she was about to say something sad about her past and the Hokage only waited with patiently.

Then after a another moment, Yami slowly open her eyes as her face was the picture of perfect expressionless. "My full name is Yami Tsuki." She began.

"You don't have to keep that emotionless expression on your face young lady, that's something that bastard Danzō would be satisfied with." Tsunade then ordered.

Yami then blushed slightly to the request. "My apologies, it's just how I'm normally am." She soon replied.

"Tell me about it. . ." Haku quietly commented.

"Ecchi. . ." Yami then deadpanned.

The rest of the people chuckle as Haku just sigh.

Tsunade just chuckled to that as it was the first time seeing those two act. "Well if you say so, I won't say anything on the subject then." She replied. "Please continued." She then requested.

Yami nodded and continued. "I was born and raised in the Land of Snow, I lived with my parents in a peaceful snow filled meadow near the Kazahana Castle. My parents worked in the ice caves made sure to maintain those icy caverns well check so that travelers and traders alike could safely travel from the ports to the capital." She then revealed.

"Oh! you mean those cave where me and Hinata-chan nearly got flattened by the train?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, those very same Naruto-sensei." Yami replied with a nod of agreement to that as she continued. "I had a very peaceful upbring as my parents were always busy with work, but spent as much time as they could with me." She told them with a smale happy smile on her face, before it disappeared. "But that was short lived. . ." She added.

This made the group knew that something bad must had happened.

"That bastard Dotō?" Satsuki then guessed.

Yami didn't reply, but the Uchiha knew she was right. "When I turned four years old, it was when Dotō began his coup d'etat. . .my parents were killed during the take over, but not before they made sure that I manage to survive, even so, I was left an orphan from that day." She stated with sadness.

Haku meanwhile watch her with sad eyes. "She's like me. . ." He thought with an understanding tone.

Tsunade was good at seeing if someone was acting, but she saw the pain in her eyes and knew that the girl was telling the truth. "I see. . ." She got out with a nod. "I apologize for bringing up old scars. . ." She then stated.

Yami shook her head to that. "It's alright, the were already avenged, now I just want to move on." She replied with calm tone.

Everyone in the room then smiled happily at that. "Please continued." Tsunade then requested.

Yami nodded in response to that as she looked at the Konoha leader. "During my time as an orphan, I taught myself hunting whatever I could while staying hidden, but that only last for a month because by that time my body had reached its limit. . .I really thought I was going to die at that time. . .and part of me was happy knowing that I was going to see my parents again." She admitted as she smiled happily. "But I was saved. . .by a member of the resistance." She said as a single tear fell from her eye.

To that, Haku found it scary how much the two were similar with wide eyes.

"Ryo, that was his name, he tooked me in and raised me as if I was his real daughter. Though he wasn't my father's age, he would always say to treat him as a brother than a father. I'm to young to be a father! Ryo would always say." She got out with a giggle.

To that reveal, the group couldn't help but laugh at that.

"He also bringing me to the resistance when I reached eight years, where I joined it against Dotō's reign." Yami then stated. "Though it was simply things I did for them, things like cleaning, cooking and helping out whenever I could." She clarified. "However it all change one day. . ." She suddenly got out.

"What happened?" Hinata asked with curiosity, but she hoped it wasn't bad.

Yami then lowered her head as she gained a depressed expression again. "It was when I was cleaning and polishing the blades in the armory. Though I was a girl, I always like swords and because I was still just a kid at the time I would secretly play with a small dagger, couldn't used the bigger ones. . .they were heavy. . ." She admitted with a pout.

This made the group chuckle again.

As Yami was discussing her past, she mind then started to think back to that day she began for her new path.

Flashback no Jutsu!

Yami was carefully polishing a small dagger as she was once again in charge of maintaining the weapons in the armory.

Once she had finished with the dagger, the small girl raised it as she smiled softly at the way it shine in the light. "Pretty. . ." The young Yami cutely said.

The little girl had always liked how blades shined beautifully once she polished a blade. That was one of the reasons, aside of helping out her stepfather, she loved to work on the armory, to be able to look at the many kinds of blades and see them shine, because they reminded her of the blades her parents always polished for their job.

The young Yami then held the dagger in her hand firmly as some tears ran down her eyes. "Mommy. . .Daddy. . ." She whimpered out as she remembered her parents.

Yami then shook her head, because she didn't want Ryo to see her sad. "That. . .and he didn't want me to touch anything sharp. . .because he didn't want me to cut myself by accident. . ." She then reminded herself

With that she placed the polished dagger with the rest and went to polished another one, but just as she was about to grab one. . .

". . ." Yami froze as her side vision saw something. She turned and saw a katana as it laid to the side on top of two pile boxes. "Someone must had forgotten it. . ." She thought to herself.

Most of the resistance had a special locked vault to lock away katanas as their the main weapon the resistance posed. So for Yami it was a very rare opportunity to see one up close and not sheathed.

". . ." Yami didn't say anything as she looked at the blade with amazement and childlike curiosity.

Then Yami quickly looked from left to right and saw that no one was in the armory with her. Once she saw that, she was indeed alone, she returned her sight onto the katata and gulped loudly.

"Well. . .maybe a peek won't hurt anyone. . ." Yami muttered to herself, then she walked towards the blade and touched it. Her hand was shaky as she then tiptoed so that she could grabbed the handle of the katana. "Heavy. . ." She mumbled out as she tried to pull the sword.

Then when she manage get it to the edge of the box. . .

BUM!

It fell and landed on her head. "OW!" Yami cried out as she rub her head.

Yami sniffed at the pain, but when she saw the katana, she forgot about the pain and bent down to looked at the katana much more closely.

"Oh. . ." Yami got out when she saw the sword, it was very beautiful katana that had a black and white hilt. She tried to grab the handle and lift it, but again she could. "Heavy. . ." She got out.

Suddenly, the sword slight became unseated, this surprised the girl and dropped the katana from the fright as she landed on her behind.

Lucky, Yami didn't hurt or cut herself, this made the girl let out a sigh of relief. "That was close. . ." She got out.

Yami then begs to get closer at the blade on all four of her limbs and once she reached the slightly unsheathed blade, her face brighten at the sight of it. "Wow. . ." She got out as she saw the sword shine brighter than anything other blade she had ever seen.

Even if Yami was still young she knew that she shouldn't try to play with the blade, but she just couldn't help herself before she then remembered a very important detail. "It's. . .to heavy. . ." She then mumbled in depression.

Then her eyes widen when she remembered something. "Wait. . ." Yami got out as she turn towards the dagger she just finished polishing. This made the girl smiled widely. "That's it!" She excitedly exclaimed as she placed the katana back into its sheath and when towards the dagger.

Just a few meters away from the armory. . .

A young man around his mid twenties, he had short spiky black hair, a slash scar over cheek that clashed with his pale skin while wearing traditional samurai armor and a short sword, but was missing his katana, the young samurai was heading towards the armory with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Damn. . .Can't believe I forgot my sword. . .How embarrassing. . ." Ryo grumbled as he could hear the rest of his friends laughing at him behind his back.

"HA!" A young and cute voice got out. "YA!" It then added.

"Huh?" Ryo got out when he heard the sound. Thinking the worst, he placed his back on to wall and then closed in, once he was in the edge to see the armory, he peeked to see who was in there.

However, what he saw wasn't an enemy, but a little silver/blue haired girl playing with a dagger.

"Huh?" Ryo got out with a deadpan tone. "Are you kidding me!? I told her not to play with any sharp objects!" He roared in his mind as she was going to spank her bottom after this.

Just when the young samurai was about to go and do just that, he suddenly stopped.

"Mm?" Ryo got out when his eyes saw something unnatural. "No. . .more like natural. . ." He corrected himself.

The thing Ryo saw was still Yami playing around with the dagger, slashes, stabs and imitating some of his stances the girl had seen him practicing during training. But what the young samurai really saw was much more than that, he saw Yami holding the blade and moving with a natural graze of a samurai, stumble here and there, but he saw that the girl had a natural talent for the sword.

"Well I'll be. . ." Ryo got out as he let out a chuckle.

Then the samurai got out of hiding and quietly walked towards the girl.

Yami was having too much fun that she completely lost in her own little world, while she imagine the dagger being that beautiful black and white katana and being a samurai like her stepfather.

"Ahem!" A loud and forced caught burst the girl's daydream.

"Eh!?" Yami got out as she looked back and saw Ryo looking at her with a blank stare. "Eep!" She squeaked out in terror as she dropped the dagger to the side as it made a clang.

Kai!

"So you got in trouble?" Satsuki asked with a giggle.

"I was so scared that he was going to get mad at me at the time, that I was going to get another spanking session on my behind. . .again. . ." Yami admitted in embarrassment.

Tsunade had to hold in a laugh to that as she looked at the embarrassed girl. "At least she was raised right to an extent." She thought in amusement.

"You kidding? That was so funny!" Anko declared as she didn't hold in her laughter.

Hinata giggled to the mere thought of how the girl acted when she was younger. "Well at least you weren't always sad." She thought feeling glad that Yami had someone that really cared for her.

"At least it was entertaining." Naruto then admitted with a laugh.

Haku chuckled at that. "So you weren't always such a serious girl huh?" He then remarked with a teasing manner.

"You sound similiar to me when I was a kid Yami-chan!" Satsuki admitted as she remembered always asking her brother to help her with training.

Yami's was still embarrassed at all the comments, but she then took a deep breath. "Yes. . .it was embarrassing for me at the time. . ." She admitted before a smile graced her face. "But instead of being angry with me, Ryo said something that would forever stayed in my heart. . ." She said with a happy smile as she remembered what happened next.

Flashback no Jutsu!

"What are you doing young lady?" Ryo asked in a parental tone.

"F-Father!" Yami cutely got out in a meek tone. "I-I was just polishing the blades like usual!" She lied with a blush on her face.

Ryo however chuckled to the reaction. "While you play with the dagger later?" He asked in a teasing tone.

"I. . .well I. . ." Yami stammered out in a panicking matter.

"After seeing you play around like that, I only have one thing to say to you. . ." Ryo stated with a serious tone.

Yami began to tear up from disappointing her father as she closed her eyes and waited for her punishment.

". . ." Ryo stare at her for a moment before he took a deep breath. "Your stance was horrible! Do it again!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Yami instantly open her eyes as confusion was written on her face. "Eh?" She barely got out as Ryo laugh loudly at the confused girl's face.

Kai!

Yami then smiled as she reminisced from the happier times. "He later told me that while he was watching me, he saw that I had a possible gift for wielding swords, so from then on, he began teaching me Kenjutsu." She stated, besides her time with her parents, those were the greatest times of her life.

The group also smiled happily at that.

"And then after a while, he later told me that he was an former swordsman from the Land of Iron." Yami then revealed.

"Hence the samurai like abilities." Kakashi deducted.

"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata asked as the rest of the younger generation wondered the same thing.

"Those from the Land of Iron are samurais with a level of kenjutsu that could fight against us shinobis on even grounds with their speed and sword styles." Kakashi informed them.

"Yami here is a kunoichi, but also a samurai." Haku then stated.

Yami nodded to that, though glared at the natural Ice User before looking back at the Hokage. "Ryo told me he was born in that land, but he was never able to finished all of his training requirement on the time limit they had on their strict teachings, so he never managed to enter a samurai group." She revealed.

"Sound really familiar dattebayo." Naruto commented as he smile sadly. "Sound like me." He stated.

What do you mean?" Yami asked as she looked at the blond with a tilt of her head.

Naruto chuckled as he rub the back of his head. "Well I was pretty much the same to Ryo-san since I failed to become a genin in the required time limit. And only became one after I help out capturing a traitor, so if it wasn't for that I wouldn't had been a genin." He explained.

"Naru-kun. . ." Satsuki got out as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

Hinata then placed a hand on the blond's other shoulder. "It's ok." She reassured.

"No wonder Naruto-sensei is so much like father. . ." Yami complemented with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Naruto soon asked with curiosity.

"Father was a bit slow with his early training during his younger childhood, but he never stopped his training, even when he never was part of the elite samurai of Iron." Yami explained.

"I really would had like meeting him." Naruto commented with a smile, as he could just tell he and Ryo would had been good friends.

"I think he would had too." Yami replied. "Father told me that kept training until he manage to create a similar fighting style to that of the greatest swordsman in Iron. . ." Yami stated proudly.

"Mifune-sama." Kakashi soon figured as Tsunade and Anko also guessed as much.

"Eh?" Satsuki then asked with a tilt of her head in confusion.

"Mifune-sama is widely known for being one of the most famous and most powerful samurai's, his skills with the sword was so great that he could take on and even killed seasoned Jonin by himself and without to relied on any type of of jutsus, only using chakra alone." Kakashi revealed.

The younger generation eyes widen at this.

"Whoa!" Naruto got out with amazement, he knew just how strong a jonin is and for him to beat season ones was an unbelievable thought.

Yami smiled proudly. "Yes, Ryo self taught himself to use something similar to Mifune-sama's sword style and for the next four years, he taught it to me, alongside everything he knew of Mifune-sama, his stance, his moves he managed to learn by watching him and everything else he could." She then listed off everything she had learned from her step father.

"No wonder you were able to beat Haku." Satsuki commented with amazement.

This time Haku didn't feel bad as he was also impressed by the girl's amazing sword skills as he was also impressed by Ryo learning and teaching it to Yami when he wasn't taught it. "Ryo-san must had been a really good teacher." He praised with a smile.

To this however, Yami for once didn't glare at the natural Ice User. "He was. I owe everything I am today him. . ." She responded, but then all happiness on the girl's face disappeared. "But it all ended one year later. . ." She added with sadness.

"Nadare?" Kakashi then guessed. "It would explain why you killed him with such fury." He then added.

Yami merely nodded to that. "Yes. . .five years later after I finished my training for the day, he found the resistance base me and Ryo were hiding at." She then got out as she held herself and began shivering.

Flashback no Jutsu!

"Not bad Yami." Ryo got out after finished their training session of the day.

Yami meanwhile panted from exhaustion, the girl could never win a single match against Ryo. "I couldn't land a single blow again. . ." She stated inbetween breath.

Ryo then ruffled the girl's head as he chuckled. "Don't get so ahead of yourself, you may have more talent than me, but I still have much more experience using this fighting style." He then stated. "That and you're slower than a snail." He added with massive grin.

"HEY!" Yami cried out.

Ryo then just smiled at the reaction. "Like I said before, this style heavily realized on the speed of the samurai, after all Mifune-sama was know to be the fast samurai, because he used that to take down shinobi's before they could even get the chance to make a single hand seal." He lectured her student/daughter- "SISTER!" Ryo suddenly exclaimed. Sister. . .of the knowledge need to used the fighting style.

"Anyways. . .if you want to be a match against shinobis, let alone me, you're going to need to gain more speed." Ryo bragged.

Though Ryo knew that it was only a matter of time before Yami obtained the necessary speed and she would be on the same level as him. "Then when she does. . .I'll give her my blade. . ." He thought as he patted the black and white katana on his side that he loved and cherished. .

The sword was a very powerful sword, now it may not be anywhere near the likes of the Seven Swordsmen swords, but it was a strong one all the same. It was made from the purest chakra metal and reforged into its current state, making it much more powerful than any of the swords from the Land of Iron.

"It may had cost all my life savings to be able to make this sword, but it was so worth it." Ryo thought to himself as he was going to be sad when he has to passed it to Yami, but he knew that she was going to be the best samruai of this generation. "So she will need the best blade she can get. . ." He added.

However as the two were having their moment. . .

BOOM!

Explosions could be heard all over the resistance base as some warning sirens went off.

"THEY'VE FOUND US!" A resistance member called out.

"HOLD THEM BACK!" Another member ordered.

"What!?" Ryo shouted as knew what it can only mean. "Dotō's dogs!" He roared in anger.

"Eh!?" Yami got out in shock.

"Ryo what should we do!?" The first resistance member asked.

What Yami didn't know at the time was that Ryo was one of the commanders of the resistance.

The samurai closed his eyes as he began to think. "It's not used. . .this hideout is now compromised, we need to escape, but we must let as many people of this base leave while other hold them back. . ." He decided.

His comrades knew what that meant. . .some must stay and die, so that the rest can escape. . .

"Alright. . .we'll do it. . ." One of the members said as those that volunteered nodded as well.

Then Ryo nodded back as he looked at the shocked Yami. "Take Yami and head for another one of the bases." He then ordered to another member.

Yami's eyes widen in terror. "No! I'm staying!" She shouted with fear.

"This isn't a discussion! It's an order!" Ryo declared in a serious tone.

"NO!" Yami shouted as tears began to fall from her eyes, the thought of losing her family again was to much for her to bare.

Ryo eyes soften as he knew why the girl was like this. "Yami. . ." He began as he hugged the girl tightly. "Even if we don't meet again, we will never forget each other, even in death. . ." He stated calmly.

Yami's eyes widened upon hearing that, but before she could even move. . .

BAM!

Ryo hit Yami on the back of the neck and knocked her out. ". . ." He said nothing as he hold the girl for a few moments. "Take her. . ." He ordered one of the members that would lead the others to the other base.

The soldier didn't said anything as he took the girl and gave a salute with all of his respect he could.

Ryo could only smile sadly as the soldier placed Yami on his shoulders. "Wait. . ." He suddenly said and stopped the member. Then he pull out the black and white katana that he loved so much. "Take this and give it to her. . ." He told him.

The soldier nodded and took the blade and he once again turned around.

Ryo closed his eyes for a moment as he began to recalled all of his life, from the time on the Land of Iron, the adventures he had when he wandered the continent, to reaching the Land of Snow and finally meeting the girl she saw as a daughter. Then the commander turn and his eyes as a strength like no other filled his entire being.

Another soldier than gave him another katana for his commander to use.

Ryo then tooked the blade and unsheathed it. "Now. . .Let kills those dogs!" He roared with all of his might. "FOR THE LAND OF SNOW!" He then declared as he raised his katana proudly.

All of those that stayed roared with courage, they knew they would die, but they would do so for the sake of those that they cared.

"CHARGE!" Ryo roared as he lead the charge against the many Snow shinobis.

The dazed Yami slowly open her eyes as she saw the fading silhouette of her father leaving her behind. Then she weakly raised her hand to try and reached him, but Ryo soon faded away, never to return to her.

With that, Yami lost consciousness. . .

Kai!

"It was. . .a massacre. . .the snow shinobi led by Nadare killed everyone they saw. . .only when Ryo reached them he unleashed a battle so fierce that killed almost all of the Snow shinobis and only Nadare and the other two you all meet where the last that survived. . .Ryo. . .gave his life so that the rest could had survived. . ." She said with tears falling from her face.

"Yami-chan. . ." Satsuki got out as she knew what it was like.

"Dammit. . ." Naruto growled out while balling his hands into fists.

Hinata just gave off a depressed expression filled with sadness to what the silver haired girl went through.

"Human desires. . .it always can lead to situations like this. . ." Kurama stated to the trio via mind link.

"Knowing that I wouldn't listen, Ryo smiled sadly at me as he struck me to knock me out. As my consciousness was beginning to leave me, I saw him telling one of the survivors to take me to another base. . .before he fought Nadare himself. . .all I could do was reached out to him as a fell unconscious. . ." She then got out.

Haku then nodded to that. "I see. . .I'm sorry for your loss. . ." He responded as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "We are indeed similar. . .I lost my parents as well. . ." He then revealed.

Yami then looked at the natural Ice and gave him a rare smile as she understood what the boy meant. "Of course, the Bloodline Massacre of Kiri. . ." She stated as she knew all about the Massacre. "And though I am sad that Ryo died. . .I was so proud to have heard that he single handedly killed all of the bastards and that the only reason they got him was because they wear those chakra armors." She said with hate at the mere mention of those armors.

"That is why I hate chakra armors, because they wouldn't had stood a chance against him. . .but he still was able to give us enough time to escape and delivering a huge blow in Dotō's army. . ." Yami added with both sadness and proudness at her stepfather's strength and courage.

"Ryo-san must had been an incredible samurai to had hold onto such an assault." Kakashi praised as he knew that no ordinary samurai could do such a thing.

"He was a true hero and a true father." Naruto admitted with a smile on his face.

"Man, that stepdad of yours was badass!" Satsuki soon declared.

"A father that would fight for her daughter, he was a great father." Hinata said with a sad yet touched smile.

"A true warrior's end. . ." Tsunade stated with an honest smile.

"You got that right." Anko agreed with a nod.

"Those chakra armors were only a shortcut," Haku then stated. "As I have learned from both Zabuza, Kakashi and my friends, shortcuts never pull through in the long run. Only when you protect the ones you love will you gain true strength." He then stated.

Yami nodded as she looked at her blade. "This is more than just a momento. . .this is his dreams he entrusted to me. . .I will master the style he taught me and became a samurai that will surpassed Mifune-sama. . ." She declared with resolve.

Tsunade nodded to that as she looked at the girl. "Very well, Now I know about both your past, how you got yours skills from, but now I want is the following. . ." She began with a she looked at Yami with sharp and powerful eyes. "What is your reason for coming to Konoha?" She then questioned with a very serious tone. "The report revealed when you first encountered Team Seven, you were working under Dotō's command at the time before the betrayal." She then stated.

Yami then gulped to that as she rubbed her arms from nervousness. "That. . .that was me being undercover for the resistance. . ." She then revealed. "It was during that time that I learned the my abilities with the Mirage Blade." She then added.

"How so?" Tsunade asked.

"Nadare found me wandering the outskirts of the Land of Snow, , he was impressed by my skills and because he knew nothing of me at the time he wanted to recruit me. . .most likely because he knew that I wailed from the Land of Iron from the way I wielded my blade. At the time, I wanted so hard to attack him right there and then, but I knew that even if I did, I wasn't strong enough to take him on by myself." Yami explained in a calm manner.

"Deceiving the enemy to gain their trust," Tsunade stated while Kakashi and Anko nodded in agreement. "A skill any shinobi would use." She added.

Yami nodded in agreement to that. "Though at the time, it was more like instinct." She then admitted.

"Then that's some instincts." Anko then chuckled out.

"Afterwards he introduced my to Dotō and told him that he would like to train me, it was at that time that he taught me some shinobi skills, I wasn't particularly good at ninjutsu or taijutsu, but when I was taught genjutsu, both he and I learned I was a natural at it too, most likely because I had a not so big chakra amount, but had a very good chakra control." Yami explained. "Then after many training session I tried and combined my kenjutsu and genjutsu and at the moment I knew I created something complete new." She added with a sense of pride in her unique kenjutsu.

"That is good that you took the situation to your advantage." Tsunade then stated in a calm tone. "Did you regret having to work under Dotō, even with the circumstances you were in?" She then asked.

Yami then lowered her head as her hair covered her eyes. "Every single moment. . ." She answered. "Though I gained my Mirage Blade kenjutsu during that time, it was still the worst time of my entire life to be so near to the people responsible for taking everything I care about. . .all the resistance members I was forced to kill. . .their blood will forever be on my hands. . ." She added.

"At least you felt the regret of a human for having to kill them. . .well save for Nadare in the end, but you did maintain your cover. . ." Tsunade then stated. "Even if it did come with a cost in the end. . ." She added in a slightly depressed tone.

"Which also explains why you decided to come to Konoha, correct?" Kakashi then guessed.

Yami raised her head and nodded. "Yes. . .I just wanted to leave the place that filled me with nothing but bad memories, but also because Ryo wanted me to go on a journey to grow stronger as a swordswoman." She stated as the memories of Ryo once again briefly came to mind. "So I feel that this place can help me realize his dream and my own as I hope to redemption for the lifes I had taken." She added.

"Yes. . .moving on and following our own dreams while seeking redemptions for our sins is indeed the right way path to follow." Haku stated with a small smile on his face.

"Yami-chan. . ." Satsuki got out as she hugged the girl. "It's alright now." She reassured.

"You're among friends now. . ." Hinata also reassured as she placed a hand on the silver haired girl's shoulder.

"Got that right! And we kenjutsu fighter got to stick together!" Naruto stated loudly.

Yami then smiled as she looked at the Team Seven members after the Uchiha released her. "Thank you. . ." She got out before she remembered something else. "Oh! And I also remembered why else I wanted to come here." She suddenly added.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow to that. "And that is?" She asked with curiosity

"Because. . .I hate the cold. . ." Yami bluntly revealed to everyone present with a pout.

Tsunade and Anko then blinked to that. "I'm sorry but. . .what?" Anko asked to make sure she heard right.

"I hate the cold. . .so I wanted to got to a warmer place. . ." Yami repeated while still pouting.

Tsunade and Anko then face faulted to that while Kakashi and Haku sweatdropped as the remaining three just laughed and giggled at the reactions.

"A-Are you serious?" Tsunade then asked, only to get a nod from the girl. "But your from the Land of Snow." She reminded.

"Yes, but I still hate the cold. . " Yami bluntly replied.

Tsunade was left baffled as she couldn't believe that someone who should be used of the cold saids she hates it instead.

Anko then smirked at the girl. "I got a real winner in this chick!" She then exclaimed in excitement. "So Hokage-sama! I can keep her right!?" She asked the blond Hokage with a wide smirk.

Tsunade then sighed as she looked at the katana wielding girl. "Well after listening to everyone's declarations and I know the gaki has a good judgement to people." She began to say.

"Hey!" Naruto got out with annoyance.

Tsunade however chuckled at that as she continued. "For her staying in the village, I can also tell that the girl is a trustworthy person, so she has my approval to both stay and become a kunoichi of Konoha." She stated.

Yami's eyes widen as she bowed to the Hokage. "T-Thank you!" She got out with gratefulness.

"Way to go Yami-chan!" Naruto and Satsuki declared loudly.

"I am so happy for you." Hinata calmly but happily said with a smile on her face.

"YES! I GOT MY FIRST TEAM MEMBER!" Anko roared in excitement.

"Good for her, huh? Haku?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile.

Haku nodded as he then placed a hand on Yami's shoulder and smiled. "Welcome to Konoha." He then stated.

Yami's face turned to her expressionless normal face as she swat the hand off her shoulder. "Don't touch me, ecchi. . ." She stated with an icy tone.

"And. . .everything returns to normal. . ." Haku declared with a sweatdrop falling from his cheek.

"Denied!" Kurama then declared before roaring in laughter.

"That was both unnecessary and not my intention." Haku then bluntly stated.

"However," Tsunade interrupted the celebrations. "The choice of where she will be on your team is Yami's choice Anko." She declared. To that, everyone calmed down as they all turn their gaze towards the girl. "Well?" She then asked in a calm tone.

Yami then looked around as she gulped at the sight of the excited Anko. "Um. . ." She began. "Can I have some time to think about it alone?" She then requested.

Tsunade nodded to that. "Of course." She answered.

With that, Yami bowed as she went outside to think things through, but before she could do so. . .

"Oh! But you will need to have someone watch over you." Tsunade stated as Yami turn towards her. "Again, I trust you, but this are the norms for recruit shinobi's from outside. I hope you understand and not take it personally." She explained.

Yami simply nodded. "That is no problem Hokage-sama." She replied with an understanding tone.

Tsunade smile happy that Yami understood. "That's good to hear, now then Haku." She called out.

"Hai?" Haku replied.

Tsunade then smirked to the Ice User. "Could you be her guardian for her probation period?" She asked.

Before Haku could say a word however. . . "No thank you, I prefered to be watch under the care of Team Seven then the ecchi pervert that groped me and copped a feel." Yami declared with an icy tone while glaring at said boy.

Haku meanwhile groaned to that as he was expecting that.

"Eh?" Naruto and Hinata got out in unison, confused by this turn of events.

Satsuki meanwhile giggle to that. "That's our Yami-chan, wanting to get away from Haku as much as possible." She got out.

Yami then looked back at the Hokage. "My reasoning besides that is that I had asked Naruto-sensei to teach me some kenjutsu, so I thought it would be best to be near him." She then explained.

"Hmm. . ." Tsunade started as she placed her hand on her chin. "Then how about Kakashi watches over you as well?" She suggested.

"Very well, I can have Kakashi-san keep the pervert away from me." Yami instantly replied being satisfied with the suggestion.

This once again made Haku groaned to that as he heard everyone else in the room holding back a roaring laughter while his stepfather was smiling underneath his mask. "Your enjoying this aren't you father. . ." He told his father with a deadpan tone.

"You have no idea." Kakashi answered with an eye smile.

With a sigh escaping Haku's lips, the three went outside, so that Yami could have some fresh air to think of her decision.

Tsunade then sighed as he looked at the remaining people in the room. "Naruto Uzumaki," She then started.

"Yeah?" Naruto responded.

"Hinata Hyuga," The Hokage continued.

"Yes?" Hinata asked while blinking a couple of times.

"And Satsuki Uchiha," The blonde leader finalized.

"What's up?" Satsuki got out with her head tilted.

Tsunade's expression then became one of seriousness. "I have to another situation that you all must be informed with as you had been away for a few days." She stated. "This. . .involved the aftermath of Danzō's hostile takeover that hasn't been revealed to many yet." She then added.

At this statement, the trio gave the Hokage their complete attention, Anko and Kurama remained quiet as the kunoichi knew what this was about, while the Bijū could easily guessed.

Tsunade then narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Team Seven members. "Well you already know that the village had received a massive blow after the invention of Sand and Sound, both in shinobi lives and collateral damage, but also because of Danzō's attempt to take over Konoha and leaving it in an even worst stated. Thus leaving it in its current vulnerable state." She began to explained.

The trio nodded in understanding as they were told about the past events that occurred.

Seeing that the trio understood so far, Tsunade continued to look at the three intently. "Because of that, right now we're a little short on shinobis as most high chunin and jonin are out on missions to gain both money and supplies for the restoration of the village, leaving only the minimal amount here to protect the village. This will also include your team in the near future." She explained to the trio.

The trio's faces grinched at that, but they would do so if it was for the sake of their home.

Knowing what the trio would most likely feeling, Tsunade chuckled. "Well not right now, you just came back from a long and easily an A rank mission, you'll that three days rest before you'll be heading off to more missions than normal." She stated, much to the relief of the young chunins.

The trio let out a sigh of relief knowing that they would get some R&R after a long and difficult mission.

"Now that I can get behind dattebakon!" Satsuki happily replied.

"It will be nice to get some rest." Hinata admitted in agreement.

"Break time!" Naruto exclaimed.

"After what I heard, you gakis deserve it." Anko stated with a grin.

"Now all that is left is to wait for Yami's decision." Tsunade stated.

With that, the group decided to wait for said girl.

At the same time, Yami exited the Hokage's office. . .

Yami was slowly walking through the halls of the Hokage Tower as her mind was blank, not knowing what to think.

"Is there something the matter Yami-san?" Kakashi then questioned, though figured what it was about.

". . ." Yami didn't replied.

The Jonin didn't felt offended as he knew the girl didn't do so out of rudeness and was simply lost in thought. "She's really lost in her thoughts, huh?" Kakashi commented to his step son.

"Yes, after what she has been through, it's understanding that this is a very important decision for her." Haku sincerely stated as he turned to look at her. "Joining Konoha is what she wanted, but joining a team so suddenly with someone that she doesn't know so soon can be nerve racking." He added.

Yami however heard that and nodded. "It is. . ." She then admitted as she forgot to add her normal ecchi last line.

Haku was slightly stunned as he was well aware of her last and degrading line as Kakashi chuckled in amusement.

"Was it. . .like that for you when you came to Konoha?" Yami then asked the natural Ice User.

This statement and his step father's chuckling made Haku regain his thought process, he sent an annoyed stare as said jonin before he turned towards Yami. "Well. . ." He began as he memories of those times rushed inside of his mind. "To tell you the truth. . .I was scared." He finally said.

This slightly shocked both Kakashi and Yami as they didn't expect that.

Haku instantly figured why they reacted like that so he continued. "Well I did showed an impression of not really been scared, but inside I really was." He stated. "I did say that I was with Zabuza-sama first before I join Konoha." He remained. "So that was all I ever known, serving Zabuza-sama in any way I could was my happiness, then when he knew that his time was coming he decided to set me free. . .to find my own dream, my own happiness so he knew that if I stayed with Kakashi-san that I may had find it." He explained.

The two remained quiet as they waited for what the boy had to say next.

"I was immensely sadden when Zabuza-sama died, but wanting to fulfill his last wish for me kept me going, so that's why I decided to stay here." Haku stated. "But even if that was what I decide, didn't meant that I wasn't terrified at the change, Unlike you, I didn't ever plan to come to this village so that thought of coming to konoha did terrified me. . .not knowing anyone there, having to learn to live in a completely independent place when all I ever knew was following orders. . .well it scared me to the core. . ." He added with a sad smile.

"You never seemed like that." Kakashi stated as he felt that he did a horrible job as a father at day one for not noticing the boy's feelings.

"Well. . .I am good at acting." Haku joked trying to lighten the mood a bit. "But I had to be strong and it was thanks to you, Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata that I finally manage to feel at home." He then explained.

Kakashi eye smile to that as immense relief filled him. "Glad to had help." He commented with a joking tone, but he was very happy to hear that.

Haku nodded as he turn towards the silver haired girl. "So I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if it is terrifying, it will be much less if you spend your time with people you know you can trust and care for." He summarized with a smile.

"Even if it means being with a crazy person?" Yami countered.

Haku and Kakashi chuckled at that. "Can't denied that." Haku replied with a smile. "But I can tell you this much, even if she is crazy, Anko-san is a person that you can trust as our favorite trio care deebly for her, so I think it won't be that bad being with her." He then commented.

"Well if you can handle her craziness that is." Kakashi added his two cents.

". . ." Yami didn't replied as she turned and continued to walk with her two escorts followed close behind.

Yami soon reached outside the tower as the sun flashed onto her eyes, stunning them for a moment before the got used to the light, then she lean on the wall and closed her eyes.

Haku and Kakashi gave Yami enough space and privacy so that she could make her decision and would accept it as it was her's and her's alone to make.

Yami's mind began to think on everything she had lived through, learn and the experiences she had learn from Ryo and her new friends. After a couple of minutes of soul searching Yami slowly open her eyes and nodded. "Alright, I made my decision. . ." She calmly said.

Kakashi nodded. "Alright, then let's go back inside then." He commented.

"No matter the decision, we'll be happy to accept it." Haku then reassured.

Yami nodded as she began to head back to the Hokage's office.

Back inside the Hokage Tower. . .

The door to the Hokage's Office then opened as Kakashi, Haku and Yami all reentered and closed the door behind them.

"Welcome back." Tsunade began as she greeted the three before looking at the silver haired girl. "So then Yami, have you made a decision?" She then questioned in a calm tone.

". . ." Yami closed her eyes as she began to think it over one more time.

Everyone around stared at the girl, nervous and wondering if she would accept or not, but more so Anko as she was a nervous wreck right now.

"Please say yes! Please say yes! Please say yes!" Anko implored over and over in her mind. "I can't stand the thought of not getting or to find another kick ass girl like her! I don't even know if I can find someone else for that matter! Period!" She added as she was ready to pull out her hair at the thought of taking more weeks to find just a girl that fits her tastes. "I mean, I get that the girl doesn't even know me and that could easily make her say no. . .but I really want this girl on my team!" She shouted as her tone was now desperate.

"Well Yami-chan?" Satsuki then asked out of curiosity.

"It's your choice so don't feel bad or think will hold it against you." Hinata stated with an understanding tone.

"Yeah! I mean it's not a walk on the park to be with Anko of all people." Naruto joked with a grin on his face.

"NO! DON'T ENCOURAGE HER TO SAY NO!" Anko roared in her mind as she wanted to rip a new hole onto the trio as said team had a shiver of terror.

Yami then took a deep breath as she opened her eyes and looked straight at Tsunade. "I have Hokage-sama, everyone. . ." She answered with a calm voice.

This made Anko nearly fall into piece as the wait was torturing her. "IF SHE SAID NO, I'M AFTER YOUR HIDES GAKIS!" She roared with anger and paranoia.

Yami then turn her eyes towards the purple haired Jonin. "Anko. . .I would be honored to become part of your Vipers." She then revealed with a slight bow.

To the answer, Anko was completely stunned as her face was devoid of all expressions.

Elsewhere in Konoha. . .

All of the civilians and remaining shinobi alike were happily doing on about their business when. . .

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" An ecstatic and happy voice declared

All of Konoha jumped in fright of the roaring declaration of excitement, not knowing where or who it came from.

Back with the group. . .

Right now the trio was trying to pull off an extremely happy Anko from crushing a silver/blue hair girl from a massive bear hug that made the girl turn blue.

"SHE'S MINE! ALL MINE!" Anko roared in an insane tone and laughing just as insanity.

"!" Yami couldn't even scream from the lack of oxygen in her lungs.

"Let go dattebayo!" Naruto roared as she tried to pull Anko's right arm.

"Nee-chan! Let Yami-chan go!" Satsuki exclaimed as she pulled her sister figure left arm. "She can't even breath dattebakon!" She then added in a panic when she was Yami's blue face.

"I think she's losing consciousness dattebahi!" Hinata commented as she saw Yami's eyes rolling to the back of her head, while pulling said girl by the waist.

The rest of the adults and Haku could only watch this interaction with a massive sweat drop falling from their faces.

"Well. . .I guess that settles that matter, huh?" Haku got out as he felt bad for the girl's predicament.

"Indeed it does son." Kakashi agreed with an awkward chuckle.

"Well if Anko doesn't kill her then yes, she got her first member for her Vipers Squad." Tsunade added with a chuckle.

Elsewhere in Konoha. . .

"Here we are. . ." Sakura got out as she looked at the abandoned building in front of her.

The building looked like a normal abandoned warehouse that was completely in ruins and could fallen apart any moment. Sakura didn't so much as think of anything as she entered the ruin warehouse as the door let out a loud creaking sound from the rust.

So simple yet so effective. . ." Sakura thought to herself as she began to made a very complex amount of hand seals, then in an instant a hole open from below her feet and fell down.

The reason for that was that indeed the warehouse was just that a warehouse, but what was special about it was that the location of said warehouse was once a top ROOT hideout. However the hideout wasn't in the warehouse but infact under it, but the reason no Hyuga had ever locate it was because the hideout was at least a mile deep and only someone with a very powerful earth affinity and control can enter it.

So the reason no normal Hyuga wouldn't even think of looking that deep was that such of thought wasn't normal by any means and only those loyal and faithful towards Danzō would ever know of this hideout.

In this hideout had much of ROOT's gear, scrolls, information and the likes. The sound of the creaking door was infact an alarm to warn any ROOT operate on the hideout to know of any intruders. And since no one would think of digging a whole mile below the earth, this hideout had been a top ROOT secret for decades.

A few tens of seconds later, Sakura channel chakra to her hands and feet to slide onto the sides of the hole to slow down her drop as she landed safely onto a underground cave.

At that moment, two masked ROOT members appeared, having their blank masks with a ROOT symbol on it and hoods covering their hair on as they placed their blades at her neck. "Identify." The they ordered in monotone.

Sakura then narrowed her eyes as she took her own serpent like mask out of her jacket and placed it on her face. "I am the serpent of Danzō-sama" She revealed with a monotone voice.

Instantly upon seeing and hearing serpent, the ROOT lowered their blades. "Apologizes." They then responded in unison.

"Status." Sakura then ordered without any regards to the apology as she walked further into the base.

"We have lost over 80% of all ROOT operatives, they either died or surrendered during the Senju's return." The first ROOT reported. "While those that surrendered are now being turn towards their side" He added.

"Then they are nothing but traitors. . ." Sakura thought with disdain and hatred.

"All of our hideouts, with the exception of this one, as been discovered and destroyed by the Senju's order." The Second ROOT stated..

"And the survivors during the Danzō-sama's rule?" Sakura then continued.

"The most powerful members left with Danzō-sama and asked us to stay here until your escorts arrive." The second ROOT stated.

"Foo and Torune?" Sakura questioned.

"With Danzō-sama." The two replied in unision.

Sakura then nodded to that as she headed to one of the identical rooms of the hideout. "You are relieved, get yourselves to Danzō-sama at once to report that I am ready for my departure." She then ordered.

Without saying another word, the two ROOT disappeared in the shadows.

". . ." Sakura thought through everything that she had learned as she began gathering some gear in the armory.

Now fully armed, Sakura sat in the darkness as she waited for her escort. "Soon. . ." She then muttered as her eyes changed once more as the eyes of the mask glowed a yellowish green.

Back at the Hokage's office. . .

The members of Team Seven had finally gotten Anko from Yami as they helped her regain her breath from the suffocating hug that was given to her.

"Are you alright Yami-chan?" Satsuki asked with worry as she then then declared at the purple haired jonin, who had an innocent expression on her face. "Seriously Anko-neechan, learn some restraint dattebakon!" She exclaimed.

"Your one to talk with being forward with the kit." Kurama then stated via mind link.

The Uchiha immediately blushed to that remark. "T-There is nothing wrong with liking Naru-kun the way I do!" She responded.

Not knowing of the inner conversation, the purple haired kunoichi had an innocent face. "What? I just wanted to give the first of my new team a warm welcome." Anko with an innocent tone.

"That nearly suffocated her!" The trio retorted in unison.

"Is it to late to change my decision?" Yami got out in between her coughs.

"It's all in good fun! I swear!" Anko then exclaimed.

"Your actions say otherwise." Yami then quipped out.

Tsunade clap her hands to gain everyone's attention. "Alright, that's enough." She stated as she turned towards Anko and Yami. "Now that you got someone to be on your team, we need to do some paperwork for your new team, not to mention that there are a few things left to discuss" She ordered.

"Alright," Anko started as she placed a hand on Yami's shoulder. "How about I show you around once we finish, alright Snowflake?" She then offered.

"No thanks, I rather have my friends to it." Yami replied in an instant before blinking a couple of times at what she was called. "Snowflake?" She then asked.

Anko then chuckled as she ruffled the girl's head. "Just want to start out a friendly relationship between us." She explained.

"I am ok with that. . .however that nickname better not be to make fun of me hair. . ." Yami stated with a dead serious tone.

If Anko still had any doubts of the girl's love for her hair, they were gone now. "Na! I like your hair! Why would I make fun of it?" She replied with a smile full of honesty.

Upon seeing the honesty on Anko's face, Yami calmed down and nodded. "Ok, I was just making sure." She replied with her normal tone.

"Well then I have to tell you two something privately." Tsunade stated as she turn towards Team Seven. "That means we're done and the rest of you are dismissed." She declared.

"Understood Hokage-sama." Kakashi responded. "Alright team, that's it for today, get some well rewarded rest." He added.

"Hai." Haku returned the declaration.

"Alright, later Baa-chan!" Naruto responded with a grin.

"Bye Obaa-chan!" Satsuki happily replied.

Hinata meanwhile bowed to that. "Until next time Hokage-sama." She politely stated.

Just before the trio left Tsunade's eyes widen as she remembered something. "Oh! And before I forget." She suddenly said.

The trio stopped and turned. "What's up?" Naruto asked as the rest also wondered what the Hokage wanted to say..

"With all of introducion and her joining Vipers, I forgot to mention that Hiashi Hyuga had told me just yesterday that your new house is finished and you can now move in it." Tsunade stated with mix feelings, she was happy that her godson gets to have a new place to leave in. "But I'm not to keen in the fact that he's going to be living with two girls. . ." She thought to herself.

"AH! That's right!" Naruto and Satsuki exclaimed in unison.

"Well everything that happened along with the Land of Snow mission, I completely forgot!" Satsuki then stated.

"Same here dattebayo!" Naruto agreed.

"So our new home is finished." Hinata got out with a gentle and kind smile.

Tsunade nodded in response to what the trio had said. "Yes. . .the Hyuga Clan and some carpenters had the house you three will be living in built near the Hyuga Compound, but not exactly next door to it, it's just located in the same district." She explained.

Naruto began to smile wryly. "So it's one of those fancy and traditional places like Hinata-chan's home?" He then asked. "Not that I would be ungrateful or anything it's just I really don't like living in those types of houses. I don't hate them either, it's just I don't felt comfortable living in one dattebayo." He clarified.

"Same here." Satsuki agreed as she rubbed the back of her head. "I may have lived like that when I was younger. . .but it always felt awkward for me dattebakon." She explained.

"You don't have to worry about that, Hiashi knew your more like you mother than he thought possible and she too didn't like them, so he asked the carpenters to make a normal looking house." Tsunade stated much to the Uzumaki and Uchiha immense relief, then scratched her cheek in awkwardness. "Also some of the carpenters were thinking of building it at where the destroyed Uchiha District was. . ." She trailed out as she noticed the Uchiha Heiress glaring at her.

"No! Way!" Satsuki immediately rejected with a serious expression and her arms crossed over one another like an X. "I have moved passed my old clan for the trouble they caused with planning the coup d'etat." She then deadpanned.

Tsunade only gave a blank stare to that. "But they decided against it by the request of Hiashi in the end." She finished what she was about to say.

"Good." Satsuki then replied with a happy expression.

Tsunade then sweatdropped at the Uchiha's quick change in personality. "Anyways, before you go and relax, you should take your stuff there." She suggested as the three nodded to her. "And don't worry about any unwanted visitors, Hiashi made a little arrangement it someone wanted to do something they shouldn't." She added with an evil smile.

Hinata nodded to that. "At least we'll be safe at night now." She said with relief.

"I actually would like them to try something. . ." Tsunade declared while smiling sadistically and cracking her knuckles.

"OK. . .That's just screams that were safe for life. . ." Naruto commented to the girls via mental link as he sweatdropped at his godmother's action.

"You got that right Naruto-kun/Naru-kun." The blonds two fiances agreed in unison as they too sweatdropped.

"Then let just go and see for ourselves." Kurama commented via mental link as he smirked in amusement.

Naruto's eyes turned towards the human transformation Biju. "Not going to stay with Anko?" He asked as the girls were wondering the same thing.

"The busty Hokage just said that she needs to talked privately to her and the new gaki." Kurama remained via mind link. "Besides. . .I'm getting my action tonight, so I got time to spare." He added as he grinned perversely. "Twelve hour. . ." He then thought to himself as he began chuckling.

The Team Seven members then blushed as they already knew what he was talking about. "ERO-FOX!" They roared in unison.

"I'm going around the town, need to check how my ladies are doing." Kurama stated with a perverted tone. "And then go prepare for tonight." He then added with a perverted grin.

"We don't need to know that!" The trio replied in unison.

Not knowing about the private conversation or what the demonic fox was talking about as he left, Tsunade finally calmed down and turn towards her person and pulled out a small scroll. "Here, inside is the exact location of the house and how to open it." She stated.

This caught the attention of the trio and left them confused by how she said it. "What do you mean how to open it? We just need a key right?" Naruto asked with a confused tone.

Tsunade chuckled at their confused faces. "You'll get it when you get there." She replied in a vague tone.

This in turn confuse the trio even more. "If you say so Obaa-chan." Satsuki commented as the trio headed out of the office to go to the their temporary room in the Hokage Tower to get their stuff and move in their new home.

"Well then, we'll also take our leave." Kakashi stated as he and Haku gave a respectful bow and began to leave with Haku following.

At a living area of the Hokage Tower. . .

"I just wondered something." Satsuki then started as they walked the halls to gather their stuff.

"What?" Naruto and Hinata then asked in unison.

"Where's Yami-chan gonna be staying?" Satsuki then revealed in an innocent tone.

"That's a good question." Hinata stated as she cutely placed a finger on her chin.

"Well Baa-chan is the Hokage, so she should decide where she should live from now on, right?" Naruto figured.

"Guess so." Satsuki replied as she shrugged of.

The trio then arrived at the door to the temporary apartment they were given. Once inside, they began to gather and collect all of their belongings. There weren't that many things to begin with so they didn't take more than a few minutes and were now in a single box full of their personal belongings.

"Well that should do." Naruto stated with a smile.

"Yup." Satsuki agreed as she held her box.

Hinata nodded in agreement as she looked at the blond. "So Naruto-kun, where is our new home?" She then asked a she sat down next to her box.

"Oh! That's right." Naruto got out and pulled out the scroll his godmother gave him. He open it an unsealed it contents, inside their where another scroll and a small card. "Mmm?" He got out as he picked both objects and looked at the card first. "Oh! here's the direction, but I've never been there, do you know where it is Hinata-chan?" He asked as he gave the card to the Hyuga.

Hinata looked the card and read the directions and then nodded. "Yes, I have sometimes walked passed there so I can take us there." She replied.

"Cool!" Naruto replied with a smile.

"By the way Naru-kun." Satsuki then called out. "What's the other scroll for?" She asked.

"I guess it's the instruction Baa-chan said we'll need to open our new home." Naruto guessed. "Still have no clue why we need this instead of a key." He added.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Satsuki replied.

"I think we should open it once we're there." Hinata recommended.

"Sure." Both Naruto and Satsuki replied with a nod.

With that in mind, the trio took their boxes and headed towards their new home.

After a few minutes later. . .

The trio, being lead by Hinata, had finally reached the area of the Hyuga District and finally had reached their destination.

"EEEEEEEEEH!?" Naruto and Satsuki exclaimed in unison at the sight of the house.

"Oh my. . ." Hinata exclaimed in a much more calm manner.

What their eyes were seeing was a two story house, well the roof part that is, as the house was surrounded by massive walls and an equally large gate in the middle. However what really caught their eyes were that on the corners of the walls where strange symbols.

"Eh? What are those symbols?" Satsuki asked in confusion.

"Hmm. . ." Hinata hummed out as she hand her hand on her chin. "Those look like seals." She then guessed.

"Seals? For what dattebayo?" Naruto then asked with his own form of confusion.

Hinata's then widen in realization. "Of course! The other scroll!" She deducted. "It must have the explanation for what they are." She added.

Nodding to that, Naruto then took out the scroll in mention and opened as Hinata and Satsuki looked besides him to read the contents.

"Hey gaki, it' Jiraiya. Bet your going to enjoyed the house with your lovely ladies!"

"It had to be him!" Naruto and Satsuki roared in unison while Hinata just chuckle awkwardly, but all the same they continued.

"Anyways, your not going to enter it place if you don't follow the following instructions, so be sure to follow them to the letter or risked losing a limb or two."

The trio gulped in unison at that as they will make sure to follow the instructions.

"By now you should had seen those writing at the corners of the walls, as you had guessed their seals that yours truly made myself, this seal create a very powerful and deadly barrier that could equal the one Orochimaru used to trap Sensei during the invasion, so by no means even try to open the gate right now or the seal will think of you as trespassers. Trust me. . .you don't want that to happen."

The trio nervously looked at the seals and now saw them as death in their eyes as they gulped in unison.

"So to make sure that doesn't happen you need to do the following. 1. The owners, you three, will individually make this hand signs: Rat, OX, Dragon, Rooster, Rooster, Rat and Dragon. 2. Then place the hand on the gate while giving it both your blood and chakra as well as some of Kurama's chakra, this way the gate will register them. 3. Finally all you have to do is make one last seal, Dragon to finished."

"Sounds simply enough." Satsuki commented.

"Once the seals had turn from black to white it means that the seals have recognized you as the owners and that you will never need a key as the gate will automatically open in your presences and attacking anything else that's not you. When you're inside, you and only you will allowed someone to enter, make sure you tell your friends to knock at least or you end up lose a friend. Then on the inside, have them do the same thing you did, but without the hand signs, so that the gate register them as friends, letting them stay as long as they want and the barrier won't harm them."

"Got it." Naruto and Satsuki stated in unison.

"I think we should sent a Shadow Clone to tell them of this risk." Hinata suggested out of concern of their friends.

"Right! Leave it to me!" Naruto declared as he made his signature seal. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He shouted as a large amount of clones appeared around them. "Ok! Tell all of our friends about the warning!" He ordered the small squadron of clones.

"Yes sir!" All the clones responded in unison as they all left to find their creators friends.

"Well that takes care of that." Naruto replied as he turn towards the gates. "Now let's do the seals." He then decided.

"Hai!" Hinata and Satsuki responded in unison.

Naruto nodded as he went to the gate. "I'll go first." He said, then he began bit his thumb to let some of his blood out and made the seal in the correct order.

Then gate and seals began to glow black, Naruto then gather both his and Kurama's chakra and placed his hand on the gate, it glowed blue and red for an instant before it return to normal.

"I guess that's it for me then." Naruto soon stated as he turn towards the girls. "Your next." He said with a smile.

Satsuki nodded and stood in front of the gate, she followed the same steps, biting her thumb, made the hand seal and placed her hand with hers and Kurama's chakra on it. The gate glowed the same way it did for Naruto and then returned to normal. "Alright! Your next Nata-chan!" She happily said.

"Hai." Hinata responded as she proceeded to do the same and ending with the same results. The bluenette then let out a sigh of relief. "I was kind of nervous that something bad would had happen. But I'm glad that it was groundless fear." She commented with a smile.

"Well Ero-sennin may be a perv, but he's still really good with seals." Naruto stated while he place his hands behind his head.

Hinata soon nodded in agreement to that.

"Well, now to end the process." Naruto stated as he once again stood in front of the gate made the Dragon seal.

At that moment the black seals slowly began to turn white and in an instant the huge gates open.

Inside the walls was a lush plain of grass that surrounded the house that also had a few trees for scenery with a single walkway to the house as the trio then began to walk down it.

"Father went through a lot of trouble for us." Hinata admitted as she admired the beautiful scenery.

"I'm more surprised that he managed to finish this place by the time we finish the mission to Snow." Satsuki commented.

"At least we got some place to train now." Naruto then stated.

Then the trio turned to see their new home. To their surprised it was a surprisingly normal looking two story, cream colored house, but was still pretty big in comparison to other houses and had a certain homely feel to it.

"Jeez, this is pretty big dattebayo!" Naruto then exclaimed.

"I think that it can fit seven people easily." Hinata estimated the amount of people could live in this house.

"Wow! Your dad really went all out dattebakon!" Satsuki commented with shocked tone.

"Let's check the place out dattebayo!" Naruto excitedly stated with a big grin on his face.

"Hai!" The girls replied with equally excited to look at all their new home got to offer.

Back at the Hokage's Office. . .

Once Team Seven and Haku left, Tsunade, Anko and Yami began to work on their paperwork for both her new status as a Konoha kunoichi, ranked chunin and the first member of Team Viper Squad. The process took at least a couple of hours but they soon finished everything.

"Well that should do." Tsunade stated while she let out a long sigh, then she neatly placed all of the paperwork in order and sealed it away for safety purposes until she may need it. "Congratulations Anko, though you still need two more kunoichis, you still officially got your team now." She declared with a smile.

"Hell yeah!" Anko cheered with glee as she wanted to go party to celebrate.

"By the way Hokage-sama." Yami suddenly started, gaining the two woman's attention.

"Yes? What is it?" Tsunade soon asked.

"Where am I going to stay?" Yami then politely asked with an innocent tilt of her head.

"Oh yeah. . .where is Snowflake here gonna be staying?" Anko asked as she also wanted to know as well.

"What are you talking about?" Tsunade asked as she raised an eyebrow. "She's going to stay with you."

". . ." Anko blinked at that as she thought her brain was playing tricks on her. "Eh? Sorry I think I heard that wrong." She stated with an awkward chuckle. "I thought you said-" She tried to say.

"I said she's going to stay with you." Tsunade repeated.

"Oh! So I wasn't hearing things. . ." Anko replied with a smile. ". . ." She responded as she stayed like that for a couple of seconds before her eyes widen to the size of dinner plates at the realization. "WHAT!?" She roared loudly.

"I already told you, all kunoichis that you recruit are your responsibility and as such, they all will be living with you at all times." Tsunade declared. "It worked for Kakashi and Haku, so I'm sure it can also work with you and your team." She then added with a small smile of amusement on her face.

"But. . .but. . ." Anko got out with an eye twitch. "THERE'S NO WAY MY CRUMMY APARTMENT CAN HAVE FOUR PEOPLE!" Anko roared with a desperate and pleading tone.

"Not my problem. . ." Was all the Hokage replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

To that reply, Anko was instantly crushed by that as her body turn pure white and her soul began to leave her body.

"Ah! Something came out!" Yami exclaimed at the sight.

Anko's soul then returned to her body as she leaped at the Hokage. "PLEASE! HELP ME! I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A HOUSE BIG ENOUGH!" She pleaded as she was grabbing onto Tsunade's feet while crying.

"Anko! Have some dignity!" Tsunade shouted as she tried to get the kunoichi off her leg.

"SCREW DIGNITY! I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY!" Anko roared as she refused to let go.

Tsunade let out a loud and irritated sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "STOP CRYING ANKO! YOU ARE A KUNOICHI OF KONOHA! BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT!" She bellowed the order.

"I'LL BE YOUR SLAVE!" Anko replied while still crying.

To all this, Yami couldn't help but sweatdropped at the pathetic sight of her team leader. "What have I gotten myself into?" Was all she could say.

Tsunade had just about reached her limit as she was tempted to throw the woman out the window when her eyes wide. "Wait a minute. . ." She got out.

"Huh?" The whining Anko looked up when she heard that and Yami looked confused to what the Hokage was thinking.

Tsunade then began to smile evilly. "You know Anko, I think I know a way to help you." She soon commented with a grin.

Anko's expression then lightened up at hearing that. "REALLY!? I'LL DO ANYTHING!" She then shouted with glee.

"Well. . .I know of a big place that is full of rooms to spare. . ." Tsunade commented with a vile grin on her face.

Yami meanwhile just cutely tilted her head to the side as she wondered where they will live.

In the streets of Konoha. . .

The human transformation disguised Kurama was walking around Konoha, but what was strange with this picture was that the Bijū had a very serious expression on his face instead of his normal playboy one he does to attract girls.

"Where is that little bug. . ." Kurama got out as he was searching for someone.

Just when Kurama was about to used his telepathic link, he noticed a crowd of people with amazed expressions on their faces.

"Cho! Cho! Cho! Cho!" The crowd chanted.

"Cho?" Kurama then asked with a sweatdrop as he then got closer. "Ah, that explains it." He then added in a mutter.

What was in the middle of the crowd was none other than Chōmei brake dancing while doing many amazing moves that looked both impossible and incredible to be done, but most just label it as him being a shinobi as they knew they could do the impossible.

The human Chōmei was spinning in place while only using his head. Then he used his hand to slam himself upwards and did a mid air backflip, landing on his feet. This instantly made the crowd roar in excitement.

"Show off. . ." Kurama then thought to himself.

Chōmei then finally sensed his eldest brother's chakra. "Hey Kurama-niichan! What's up?" He then asked via telepathic link.

"We need to talk. . .now." Kurama immediately ordered with a dead serious tone.

This slightly startled Chōmei as he never seen Kurama talk like that in a long time. "Ok." He replied as turn towards the crowd. "Ok everyone! That's all for to day!" He told everyone, this made everyone whine from not wanting it to end. "But be back same place, same time! Peace out!" He told with a large grin on his face.

This instantly made the crowd, especially the kids cheer loudly.

Chōmei waved them of and began to ran towards Kurama. Once he reached him, the tan boy saw Kurama's face that he hasn't seen in over a millennium, the face him hiding his pure rage and hatred. "Inside. . .now." Kurama then ordered.

To that order given, Chōmei instantly knew he means as he nodded.

Then the two closed their eyes and the word distorted change into a completely different one as it was devoid of any other life. The two transformed Bijūs then turned back into their true giant animal forms.

"What's going on?" Chōmei soon asked with concern and worry.

Kurama then narrowed his eyes as he grinded his fangs together. "The Rinnegan has returned to the world. . ." He revealed in a dead serious tone.

When that was said, Chōmei's eyes widen in pure shock as he couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Nii-san, are you sure about that?" He asked the oldest and strongest of the Bijūs. "It's impossible for it to ever return to this world. . .you of all of us nine Bijūs know that the best." He stated with startled tone. "How do you know for sure?" He then asked.

"My Uchiha's older brother told my Jinchūrikis, apparently he's the leader of that Akatsuki's group that is after us." Kurama then explained.

Chōmei's eyes then widen as he remembered mentions of the Akatsuki group. "Nii-san. . .you don't think that they're. . .you know. . ." He trailed out off.

Kurama then growled as he knew what his brother was thinking. "Ten. . ." He then groaned out in annoyance. "If they are trying to bring back that of all things. . .then they don't know what they are thinking. . ." He then added.

Chōmei then gulped to the thought of that. "Nii-san! This beyond bad! This could be the thing that could wipe all life on this planet!" He soon stated with terror.

"I KNOW!" Kurama roared back. "I know. . .I know that the best. . .we can only assume the worst. . .especially when the possibility that this current Rinnegan user is being manipulated by the one that both ordered me to attack this village on the kit's birthday and to assist Itachi Uchiha into massacring his own clan expect the heiress under my wing." He then stated.

"Then. . .could it be that they have. . .that too. . ." Chōmei stated more than asked.

"If they have the Rinnegan. . .and that they're after all nine of us. . .Then it will be stupid of us to think they don't have that as well. . ." Kurama replied with anger in his tone.

". . .Shit. . ." Chōmei then finally responded. "What. . .do we do?" He asked with fear in his tone.

"Get our Jinchūrikis stronger, and I mean beyond strong. . .because if they don't. . .it's the end. . .of everything. . ." Kurama soon answered.

"What about the others?" Chōmei then asked. "They gotta know about this!" He then added.

". . ." Kurama began to think of this. "If I have to guess, it will be impossible to warn them." He replied, before Chomei could say anything, Kurama raised his paw to stop him. "You know how most Jinchūrikis are. . .they won't let us near our siblings. . ." He added.

This calmed Chōmei down as he knew what the demonic fox meant. "I guess your right about that Nii-san. . ." He admitted in agreement.

"I don't like it just a much as you. . .but right now all we can do is wait, you felt it right? Isobu's Jinchūriki had died a while back, that means it will take a few years for him to reform, giving us some time. . ." Kurama stated.

"Yes I did, but I also felt something weird when that happen. . ." Chomei replied, not sure how to say it.

Kurama then raised an eyebrow to that. "What do you mean?" He soon questioned.

"Not to sure, but when his jinchuriki died, something felt off when Isobu dispersed." Chōmei then explained with an unsure tone.

"Well can't do anything about him, so let just leave it alone for now, also don't tell anyone about this." Kurama ordered his younger sibling.

"Hai." Chōmei responded with a nod. "I won't say anything, after all you're the one in charge of anything related to father and Ten. . ." He then added.

Kurama simply nodded and then the two Biju returned to reality, as they were in their human forms, however it didn't felt that a second had passed since their talk.

"Well. . .I'm going to go out for a while." Kurama commented with his normal tone.

Chōmei merely nodded to that. "Ok Nii-san, later." He replied as he dashed off.

Once he had left, Kurama rubbed his head in annoyance. "Jeez. . ." He muttered as he then looked to the sky. "Old man, you really know how to leave a legacy behind." He thought in a joking matter.

The Kyūbi then went of to relax after a stressful meeting with his little brother.

Back at the trio's new home. . .

The trio were looking at the inside of the house, like the outside it was normal but like Hinata had commented it was very large that would fit seven people very comfortably. However it wasn't just that, there was also furniture in it as well including the essentials.

The first floor had a living room that was very spacious for the owners and their guest as well as a kitchen. The kitchen also had the essentials for cooking as well as a back door to got to decent size backyard that had a hot spring.

The second floor had a total of seven rooms, one master and six guest rooms, each room with the exception of the master had no private bathroom, but they do have a bed, closet, dresser. Another aspect of the house was that on the right side it had a dojo to practice their taijutsu and on the left a wide area to train everything that required more space. And finally it had a library that was filled with many books and scrolls, and a large desk where they could study.

After a half of hour of exploring the inside of the house, the trio was very happy and pleased by their new home as they all then sat on the sofa.

"Now I can get used to this dattebayo." Naruto admitted as he like the inside of the house.

"You got that right Naru-kun!" Satsuki agreed. "This place is awesome dattebakon!" She then added.

"I wonder why father gave us so many bedrooms?" Hinata then asked.

"Maybe because the area was so big that the house needed to make them to fit the extra space?" Naruto guessed, but he wasn't sure as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Does it matter?" Satsuki then asked. "I mean the three of us are gonna be sleeping together in the same bed anyways," She then started as she then hugged the blond's right arm. "Right Na-ru-kun~?" She then questioned in a flirty tone.

"S-Satsuki-chan. . ." Naruto got out as he began blushing and sweating.

Surprisingly, Hinata then nodded in agreement as she hugged his left arm. "Satsuki-chan is correct about that Naruto-kun." She admitted with a pink blush. "This is our home now." She then reminded.

Naruto gulped loudly as he blushed even more to the flirting. After all, when Satsuki acts flirty, she was extremely sexy and even a bit seductive, but when the pure and innocent Hinata does it, it was like a forbidden fruit that made the blond weak to its temptation. "H-Hinata-chan. . ." He soon got out. "Really glad that Ero-fox isn't here. . ." He then thought.

Satsuki then smirked with a hint of lustfulness in it. "How about we move this to the master bedroom and break it in?" She then suggested in the same flirty tone while licking her lips. "Agreed Na-ta-chan~?" She soon asked the Hyuga in a sing song tone.

Hinata began to blushed darkly at both the question and the flirtiness of her fellow fiancé. "T-That would be nice. . ." She shily replied with a smile.

G-Girls. . ." Naruto got out, his mind starting to feel hot from the amount of flirting.

Taking advantage of the current fried state the blond was at the moment, Satsuki smirked and nibbled his ear. "Shall we?" She then suggested via mental link.

Naruto began to babble like an idiot as he felt the saliva and tongue on his ear. "H-Hai. . ." He got out.

The three then stood up as they headed for the stairs. "I think you broke him Satsuki-chan." Hinata got out, still hugging the blond's arm.

Satsuki giggle at that while she too huggd the other arm. "Only a little, I can be pretty flirty. And you know he like it." She admitted with a hint of being proud about it.

"I guess. . ." Hinata returned as she then pecked the boy on the cheek as they all started going up the stairs. "Remember, I did see him first." She then reminded in a playful manner.

Satsuki giggled once more to that with a smile. "I know." She replied. "I'm just glad he's ours now." She then added.

Soon, the trio reached the master bedroom. The room was bigger than the rest of the other rooms, it had a king size bed where three people could easily fit. It also had a very large closet that had the size of a small room. On the side had two large windows that can see the outside and let the light of sun in.

"By the way. . .who is the owner of the room?" Satsuki suddenly asked while once more admiring the room.

This got Hinata's attention as she began to think. "Mmm. . .I thought of that as well, we each need our own individual rooms to have all of our belongings." She stated.

Satsuki then smiled as she then looked at the still baffled blond. "How about we let Naru-kun keep it and ours will be the two next to it then." She suggested with a wide smile.

This got Naruto's attention to the idea. "Eh?" He then got out as he shook his head.

Hinata meanwhile nodded in agreement to that. "I am alright with that dattebahi." She answered.

"Huh?" Naruto once more said. "Me? Owning this?" He then asked while looking at the master room.

Satsuki grinned widely to the confused blond. "I mean we're going to sleep here together anyways, so does it matter whose the official owner?" She stated.

Naruto then scratched the back of his head at that. "I guess when you put it like that." He replied with a small blush on his face.

"Ok then!' Satsuki happily replied as she then pushed the blond onto the blond. "Now that situation is done. . ." She then started in a flirty tone as she slowly took off her shirt, revealing her lace orange bra holding her breasts. "How about we break the room. . ." She soon suggested.

Hinata meanwhile took a deep breath as she then shyly did the same at the Uchiha, revealing her lace lavender bra. "Naruto-kun. . ." She then whispered with a shy maiden tone.

Soon the two girls gently pushed the blond to the bed. This made Naruto blush as he admired both girls. "Hinata-chan. . .Satsuki-chan. . ." He breathed out.

Then the girls sat next to the blond and slowly began to reach for hid, and just as they about reached him however. . .

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of someone banging the door gat could be heard all the way in the master bedroom.

"Eep!" Hinata got out as she was startled by the sound, falling onto to the blond with her breasts pressing against his face.

"ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDING ME DATTEBAKON!? NOW!?" Satsuki roared in anger with some of Kurama's chakra leaking out, complete with whisker marks appearing on her face.

"How can we even hear it from this far inside?" Hinata asked, not understanding how it was possible or realizing where her breasts were at the moment.

"DON'T KNOW! DON'T CARE! I'M GOING TO KILL WHOEVER MESSED WITH OUR ALONE TIME AFTER SO FUCKIN' LONG DATTEBAKON!" Satsuki declared as she then began storming out of the room.

Hinata gasped when she saw Satsuki leave in her current state, she got of off the blond and grabbed both hers and the Uchiha's clothing. "You forgot your shirt!" She called out as she ran after her while she put on her own shirt back on.

Naruto meanwhile was left on the bed with a massive nosebleed leaking. "Don't know if I should help Hinata-chan trying to stop her or do the same thing Satsuki-chan is about to do. . ." He commented as he then stood up and follow the girls after wiping away the nosebleed.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

SLAM!

The sound of banging could still be heard as Satsuki slammed the front door open, now fully clothed and Hinata right behind her. Then the Uchiha began to strut her way towards the gates in blind fury.

Once the the Uchiha reached the gate, seals appeared on it, this caused whoever was banging the gate stopped. The seals began to move in circles as the made loud humming sounds for a moment before it stopped, then the gate split in half with each half beginning to slide to the sides.

By this point, Naruto had reached the girls to see this happening. "OK. . .that's cool." He commented.

Satsuki meanwhile didn't care at the moment, not even really seeing who it was banging. "WHAT!?" She then roared in annoyance.

"Yo imouto-chan, what's up?" A familiar female voice asked awkwardly.

This instantly calmed down the enraged Uchiha because she recognized the voice. "Anko-neechan?" She got out in confusion.

The gates finally were fully open and the trio saw that it was none other then Anko and Yami on the other side of the gate.

Anko soon scratched the back of her head as she smile awkwardly. "So this is you new place, huh? It's really big." She commented, not looking at Satsuki in the eyes.

"It's good to see you again." Yami admitted with a bow.

"Uh. . .yeah, it's pretty big." Naruto awkwardly agreed. "But. . ." He started

"What are you two doing here?" Satsuki continued. "I mean it's always great to see you but. . ." She began.

"We thought you were going to be busy with Yami-chan." Hinata concluded.

"Well. . ." Anko then started, but trailed off while scratching her cheek.

"Umm. . ." Another voice suddenly got out.

This caused the trio to turn and saw both Kakashi, Haku and even one of Naruto's clones holding heavy backpacks.

"Can we put this down now?" Haku requested as he was sweating a little.

"Haku-sensei?" Hinata got out in confusion.

"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked.

"I have no clue!" The clone shouted. "She just order me to do this after I told them where the house was!" He added.

"Onee-san. . ." Satsuki began as she looked at the purple haired kunoichi. "What's going on?" She then asked.

"Well. . ." Anko got out. "You can blame the Hokage for this, but. . ." She then started.

"Anko-san's apartment was too small for both me and her new team to leave in. So we're moving in here with you." Yami bluntly stated.

"Yeah. . .that. . ." Anko replied. "But I will be going that there for my night with Kurama." She then added happily.

There was a long pause between all the people present as Kakashi, Haku and the clone dropped the things they were holding from the shock.

"Wha?" The trio first got out in confusion, unsure if they heard right.

Yami then bowed to the confused trio. "Pardon us for intruding, let us get along from now on." She then requested.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" The trio soon roared in disbelief.

JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: What's up everyone, JGResisdentEvil here along with fight2protect with the newest chapter! And boy was it an insane one to write!

F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: What's up!? And damn! 70+ pages! Our longest chapter! But anyways, this chapter was to give Yami's full introduction and past history, the introduction of Team Viper Squad, like most didn't saw that Yami would be part of. XD And finally the trio finally having their own place. . .with some unexpected roommates along with it. XD

JG: You got that right! I bet no one would be expecting that! XD

F2P: I know right!? When we we're writing the dynamic of Vipers, we thought: Where are they going to live? Because there's no way they would fit on Anko's apartment, so we thought it would both fit and be hilarious a hell if they all stayed with the trio! XD

JG: Exactly! It's insane how far it come with all the the crazy ideas that develop on the spot, and the rewrites are still coming as well. Here are the new titles for them!

Chapter 10: Surprises in the Mist

Chapter 11: Back into Konoha

Chapter 12: Antics, Team Eight and Hair Color

JG: I have to admit, it's not easy coming up with new title ideas. ^^"

F2P: Eh! Like we're the types to think things through for the long run! We're more the make it up as we go kind of guys. XD

JG: Ain't that the truth! XD Now then, time for the reviews, not many for the last chapter, but it's something. Here's mine from EpicToast!

Whoa ... dudes ... *manly anime tears gush forth* so inspirational! I wanted to review as soon as i started reading this ,pretty much/for all intents and purposes, legendary fic ... but i wanted too catch up first. And now: the review.

THE REVIEW

THIS IS THE MOST EMOTIONALLY UPLIFTING, SOUL SEARING, PASSION FILLED, LAUGHTER INDUCING, SENSE OF JUSTICE ASSUAGING, !BOSS LEVEL SHIT! RANK EARNING CHAP THAT I'VE EVER HAD THE DIVINE PLEASURE TO FEED TO MY BRAIN THROUGH MY EYES!

*ahem* now that my fanboy moment is over,

I want to say how the plot kept me on the edge of my bed, the emotions ran rampant through my heart as i was reading. All in all: "Jolly Good Show Sirs, Jolly Good Show!"

But i get this feeling that miss darkness moon will be the final piece to Anko's Kunoichi squad puzzle & that she will fall for Haku as she observes him. She could get jealous if or when other girls start talking to him & miss Yami will warn them off by calling him a pervert. One could stand up to her though. Maybe, in a hypothetical situation, she becomes slightly obsessed with proving he's a pervert to this one girl and she follows him around. Spying. Lurking. Taking pictures. Flipping the script on him when she is seen. The whole nine yards of stalkerness. Until she falls for him. Hard.

Sorry about getting ahead of myself.

Either way, I'll be reviewing later. ET OUT!

SUMMONING JUTSU! *Summons a flash green Porsche with size 33 jeep wheels. Hops in & drives off into GANJA LAND!*

JG: O.o Wow, I gotta admit, I'm honored, this is a good review, I must thank you for this. :)

F2P: Yeah. . .why don't you just let us know how you really think? XD

JG: ^^" Anyway, it's good to get a decent review after all the past bullshit that's happened.

F2P: Haha! It's good to know that we got hardcore fanboys loving are fic! XD But anyways back to the other half of the review, while it would indeed be fun as hell that Yami does that, we think that she's fine as she is.

JG: And yes, she was slightly based off the Yami in To Love-ru but also mixed with Akame from Akame ga Kill. XD

F2P: Personality wise and sword fighter wise anyways. XD Now for my review from Johnny Spectre!

and now comes the most persistent arc in the show... the retrieval arc... then the FILLER CORRUPTION

F2P: Tisk, tisk, tisk. . .Have we done anything in this last ark that was simply FILLER?

JG: Whatever keeps the story rolling!

F2P: Not helping me dude. . .

JG: ^^" My bad, but the point is, with everything that we have planned, there needs to be filler arcs to fill in the gaps. I mean come on, I know that anime has them, but you really think that the story just goes from one major event to the next?

F2P: While that's true, just know that if we do use filler arcs from the anime they will NOT be just simple fillers, every single arc WILL have a major impact on the story.

JG: Yeah, everything that we do its planned at first, and then when we write, we come up with even more major ideas to build on from the original ideas.

F2P: Unlike the anime just to waste time. I mean we may be on make it ups as we go kind of guys, but that's mostly on simply things inside of the arcs and like JG said, the major arcs were planned out.

JG: Not to mention all the character development, man that's also a rough bit. That's another reason for the filler arcs, Team Seven's relations with the other characters.

F2P: You better believe that these arcs will be necessary for many things for the sake of the story. So trust us that there will NOT be any FILLER CORRUPTION. :D

JG: And we are just getting started, the next chapter will be another arc before what everyone is waiting for, but it will have some insane developments. . .as well as the second Viper Squad member! XD

F2P: We know you're going to love her! We we're waiting for this one to show up! It's going to be hilarious when the time comes for her appearance! XD

JG: And we will leave it at that for her! XD Remember to watch for the remastered chapters, they will be here!

F2P: Heck yeah! Well that's all for this chapter, hope your having a great 2016 and expect more chapters for this fic in the future!

JG: Got that right! Let's enjoy 2016 with a bang and come up with the most epic and crazy ideas that haven't been done before! Place your ideas in your reviews, send a PM, anything will do! And with that, we are out for this time! Later!

F2P: Peace out!
