Chapter 43: The Adjusting of Darkness Moon


At the new home of Team Seven. . .

Everyone was sitting at the living room after they brought all of the home crashers stuff in and placed it in the corner. Kakashi and Haku decided not to stay as they really didn't want to be in the way when Satsuki was ready to explode, but they did tell the trio that they would return in a later date for the seal to register them.

Satsuki was sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other while glaring at both Anko and Yami. The oldest kunoichi was looking anywhere but her little sister figure's gaze and Yami had a neutral calm one. "You two better explain the hell out of this situation dattebakon. . ." She deadpanned her threat.

Naruto also had an annoyed expression, but much more tame than the Uchiha had. "Seriously dattebayo." He couldn't help but voice out.

Hinata also nodded in agreement to that. "Yes, it would be in our best interest if you explain to us the reason behind this." She soon requested. "After all this is pretty sudden, not to mention invasion of our privacy dattebahi." She then added.

Anko meanwhile rubbed the back of her head awkwardly to this. "Yeah well. . .How should I say this. . .to make long story short. . .I'm in deep shit. . ." She stated to say while chuckling awkwardly.

Yami nodded with her expressionless face. "Indeed, this was the result of Anko-san's poor planning skills for long term." She then revealed as internally she felt really bad for invading her new friends home.

The Uchiha then placed her hand on her forehead to this before slowly moving it down her face. "I'm scared to asked but. . ." Satsuki began as her voice was very annoyed yet confused at the same time. "What the hell happened?" She finally got out.

Anko started awkwardly chuckling again as she looked at the Team Seven members. "Well. . .You three already know that I'm forming my all Kunoichi team known as the Viper Squad right?" She then began.

The trio nodded in unison to that. "You were way too excited when Yami-san decided to join konoha and you took her to see Obaa-chan." Satsuki then reminded.

"More like kidnapped her. . ." Naruto corrected with a deadpan tone as Hinata and Yami nodded in complete and total agreement.

Anko chuckled at that with awkward amusement at the reminder of what she did. "Well anyways, while I'm still planning to make my team, there was one tiny little thing I may had overlook. . ." She got out with massively embarrassed.

Satsuki once more raised her eyebrow to that. "Being Anko-neechan?" She then questioned.

Anko soon sweatdropped to the question as she was put on the spot. "I forgot to plan where my team is gonna be staying here in Konoha and since my apartments is for just one. . .I can't keep them in it." She admitted.

". . ." The trio was left speechless at this as they couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Because of this. . .dilemma, Anko-san practically begged to Hokage-sama in a very demeaning fashion for ideas for where I, Anko-san and eventual other teammates would be living." Yami began to say, making the jonin feel an arrow pierced her body. "The Hokage finally suggested this place in the end after Anko-san held her feet, begging while exclaiming that she will be her slave if she helped her for not thinking and planning things through." She then explained her piece with a straight face.

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT PART SNOWFLAKE!" Anko shouted with a massive blush on her face.

"I was simply stating the facts about the situation." Yami then replied without a hint of sympathy for the embarrassed kunoichi.

Naruto blinked after finally hearing that. "Ok. . .I may not be the best at planning. . .But even I know that's some really bad planning dattebayo." He soon got out.

"Hai. . ." Hinata responded in agreement.

"You can blame the blind rage I was in when I wanted to make my team thanks to the sexist villagers." Anko then stated, trying to pass the blame onto something else.

Satsuki meanwhile blinked a couple of times to this. "Wait. . .Back up." She soon got out as she finally processed everything. "So your telling me that you need a place to stay to stay and since you don't have one Obaa-chan told you our place could. . .is that about right?" She sum things while having a blank expression.

"It was the Hokage's idea, not mine!" Anko then quickly stated in rising panic. Then suddenly, the jonin then bent forward in front of the three. "So please, allow me and my Viper Squad to live here!" She then begged.

Yami could help but sigh at this pathetic display, but she still stood and politely bent downwards as low as possible to help her poor excuse of team leader she had. "Please allow us to be under you care, Naruto-sensei, Hinata-san, Satsuki-san. . ." She politely requested.

The Naruto and Hinata looked at this while sweat dropping in unison. "Well. . ." Naruto started while rubbing the back of his head.

"I am. . .unsure about this. . ." Hinata admitted while playing with her thumbs.

Satsuki however remained completely emotionless to that as her mind was elsewhere.

"Oh boy. . ." Naruto and Hinata thought in unison, knowing exactly what was coming.

Satsuki entire body was soon enveloped in red chakra as her face turn into pure rage with her whisker marks appearing once more while her hair bundled into nine tail like segments. "I'M GOING TO GET HER FOR THIS!" She roared in rage as she fully knew why Tsunade recommended their place. "SHE'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET IN OUR WAY AFTER WEEKS OF NOT HAVING OUR NARU-KUN TIME!" She added while her eyes had turned into flames of anger.

"Satsuki-chan! Calm down!" Hinata panicked as she held the beserked girl around her waist, trying to calmed her, but making little to no results.

Naruto meanwhile smacked his forehead to that. "Dammit Baa-chan. . .now you've done it dattebayo. . ." He got out.

"So that's why?" Anko then asked after hearing this after raising her back up to look at the trio. "So Hokage-sama had that in mind huh? No wonder she was smirking when she told me about your place." She got out as she then smirked. "I really don't care if you three do what you want." She then honestly stated.

This stopped the enraged Uchiha as the red chakra disappeared and looked at the Snake Mistress with wide eyes. "Really?" She then asked.

Anko only chuckled perversely to the question. "Your business is your own." She replied with a perverted tone. "Kurama's gonna be happy with me living here now." She then added as she then remembered something. "Right, still gotta spend one last night. . .twelve hour session. . ." She soon thought as she became dazed at the idea of it.

"Yes! That means we can have our sleep time with Naru-kun!" Satsuki exclaimed with stars in her eyes at the thought.

Naruto and Hinata face's blushed at this as they were secretly happy yet embarrassed at the thought.

Then the trio heard a cough, making them turn to look at the source of said coughing as any and all excitement that the trio had disappeared in an instant as their faces turn crimson red at the thought of the other residence hearing them do their fun time, let alone catching them actually doing it.

Yami meanwhile was blushing darkly at this as she looked elsewhere. "You. . .are very forward with Naruto-sensei, aren't you Satsuki-san?" She then got out her question of curiosity.

Satsuki's mental glass shattered as she then remembered the silver haired girl. "W-Well, since me and Naru-kun lived together ever since graduating from the shinobi academy, i-it's become like a habit for us." She awkwardly explained. "W-We'll try not to disturb you Yami-chan. . ." She then reassured.

Yami soon blushed in awkwardness as she looked at the three. "N-No, i-it won't disturb me. Remember, I was part of the Land of Snow resistance, so I'm used to hearing noises at night. . .even from fellow resistance members having their. . .alone time. . ." She then revealed.

The trio and even Anko blushed at knowing that the kunoichi/samurai had to listen to those sort of sounds at coming from someone even younger age than her.

"Well. . .at least you know the meaning behind it." Anko then joked out awkwardly.

The joke however didn't work as Yami was still blushing in embarrassment. This caused the trio to have second thoughts of actually having their fun time with her living with them.

"I-It's alright, I know you three love each other, you shouldn't my presences disturb you at all." Yami then reassured once more.

Hinata was still playing with her thumbs as she was crimson red. "M-Maybe we can discussed this on a later time?" She then suggested.

"T-That would be the best course of action." Yami instantly agreed. "S-So. . .would it be alright for us to live here?" She then asked.

At this point, the trio finally calmed down as they looked at each other. "So, what do you think girls?" Naruto then mentally asked.

"Obaa-chan did this to have Anko-neechan watch us. . .but she said she won't care about what we do." Satsuki then responded via mind link.

"But Yami-chan really doesn't have anywhere to go. . ." Hinata then reminded to her teammates through their mental link.

This caused the other two to remembered that fact and made them realized what was the right thing to do. The three nodded at each other with a smile on their faces as they came to a decision.

Satsuki soon looked at the two Viper Squad member as she smiled. "Sure, you and any of your future team members can stay with us." She told them with a kind tone.

"YES!" Anko roared in happiness at that as she scooped the Uchiha and hugged her tightly in her breasts. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" She exclaimed to her little sister figure as said girl was having trouble breathing.

"Anko-sensei! Satsuki-chan can't breath dattebahi!" Hinata exclaimed while flailing her arms in a panic after seeing the girl going blue.

"Don't kill Satsuki-chan dattebayo!" Naruto also exclaimed in a panic.

Yami meanwhile sighed in relief to this. "Thank you Hinata-san, Satsuki-san, Naruto-sensei." She responded.

Anko soon calmed herself down as she looked at the three. "Oh yeah, I gotta go by the way." then stated as she stood up. "I gotta get the last of my things from my apartment. You can stay here if you want." She stated at Yami.

Said silver/blue haired girl nodded in response to that. "I think I'll stay and look at the village later." She replied to her squad leader.

This made said leader to smirked. "Then I'll see you all in the morning. . .though it might be late." She then stated with a chuckle.

Satsuki meanwhile took multiple deep breaths of air as she looked at the purple haired jonin. "Wait. . .first. . .chakra in gate seal. . ." She got out in between breaths.

This stopped the older kunoichi as she turned and raised an eyebrow. "What was that? Chakra in the gate seal? What does that even mean?" She asked with confused tone.

Satsuki's eye then twitched as she looked at the jonin. ". . .What do you think the gate is for?" She then asked.

"You meant that huge ass gate? I thought it was just for show." Anko replied with a slightly smug tone to the Uchiha's question.

Naruto then smacked his forehead to that. "Well we shouldn't have expected you to know. But anyways, Ero-sennin made it so that only those that register their blood to the seal can freely enter this place." He explained.

"Now that's what I called heavy security." Anko retorted as she like many shinobi's knew that after The Fourth and Kunisha had died, not to mention the near extinction of the Uzumaki Clan, when it came to seals, Jiraiya was second to none. So she wasn't exaggerating when she said heavy security.

Naruto chuckled amusingly at that. "No kidding, he told us that if anyone not registered as either owner or friend the seals would pretty much eradicate the intruders. So your pretty lucky that you decided to knock the gate instead of trying to break in." He clarified with a large grin on his face.

At this bit of information made both Anko and Yami paled at that thought of what could had happen had they actually tried to break in. "I am so glad I wanted to make pleading approach now. . ." Anko thought with immense relief as she realized had she not, she would had been pretty as good as dead right now.

"But aren't we already friends?" Yami asked as she didn't quite understand why would they had been in danger.

"Yes, but there is requirement so that the gate know that you are." Hinata then explained.

"Which is?" Anko asked.

At that, the three then stood up. "We might as well do it now." Satsuki told them as the other two owners nodded in agreement.

With that all five of them headed towards the gate.


After a few moments, all five of them were now standing on the inside of the front gate.

Satsuki walked forward as she lightly tap that gate. "Well, in the letter Ero-Sennin gave us said that all you have to do is give it some of your blood and chakra from the inside of the gate and have us, the owner's approved so that the gate register you as friends." She began to explained as the gate's seals began to glow, at the center of the gate was the kanji for owner/boss (闆) with the names of the trio around it. "That way you can enter and stay here as long as you want." She concluded.

Anko nodded to that as she then bit down on her thumb, causing some blood to come out. "Makes sense to me." She replied.

With that said, the older kunoichi placed her hand on the seal, the gate instantly reacted when it felt the kunoichi's blood and began to glow slightly. Then Anko began to transferred some of her chakra into it.

The seal slowly began to take in the chakra as if was trying to recognized it. Once it finished all the seals around the gate glowed brightly, making everyone present to blocked their eyes. Finally lights from the seals stopped shining and returned to normal.

"Wow! Nice light show." Anko joked with a chuckle.

Suddenly on the side of the gates, the kanji word friend (友) appeared in big size and below it was the name Anko Mitarashi with much smaller size.

This caused everyone present to looked at this with wide eyes as none of them had expected something like that to happen.

"Whoa." Naruto and Satsuki got out in amazed unison.

"Amazing. . ." Hinata got out while Yami nodded in agreement.

Anko let out a whistle at that. "Man does that old perv know how to make seals." She got out with impressed tone as she then turn to the baffled trio. "So does that mean the gate won't kill me if I try to jumped the walls now?" She asked as she wanted to know that before she went off to try it.

"I believe so. Jiraiya-sama himself wrote it to us, so it should be safe now." Hinata responded. "Maybe I should have Hanabi-chan do this as well when she wants to visit." She thought to herself as she was worried that the gate might hurt her little sister by accident.

"Ok. . .and how do we find out?" Anko asked again as she really wanted to know.

"Mmm. . .Well Ero-sennin also said that once the gate had everything done right, the gate should open immediately by just walking up to it." Naruto stated as he remembered what was written in the letter. "It worked for us because the gate open when we got near it." He added.

"Didn't the gate open when you got near it the first time?" Satsuki asked her older sister figure.

"Well no, not really, I did bang the gate as hard as I could to get your attention." Anko simply stated.

Satsuki then nodded to that as she was still annoyed by that interruption. "Then if everything went as Ero-sennin said it should, the gate should open to you now." She stated. "Lets try it out with you that is now registered with Yami-chan isn't." She then suggested.

Anko then shrugged her shoulders to that. "Alright then." She replied as she and the rest went over the gate.

Immediately at the presences of the owners, the seal of owners glowed and the gate open it's huge doors.

"That's still awesome to see dattebayo." Naruto commented with a grin.

"So how do we do this exactly?" Yami asked as she didn't fully understood how they should do this.

"We'll just have Anko-san and Yami-chan leave and the gate close behind them and then Anko-san will walk toward it , we wait to see if the gate opens again to her presences. Then after it does, Yami-chan should do the same if the gate doesn't open then that means that the register works like it should." Hinata explained while the Uchiha nodded in agreement.

This made Viper Squad members nod in an understanding matter. "Then let's just get this over with." Anko simply said as she and Yami exited the house gate.

After they exited the gate instantly closed it's large gates leaving the two girls out. Then Anko gulped loudly. "Hope this works. . ." She got out nervously as she walked towards the gate.

Anko slowly and cautiously walked towards the gate, however as she was getting closer she slowed her steps, clearly scared that the deadly Gates would killed her instead. However when she finally was close enough, the gate suddenly glowed brightly.

"KYA!" Anko girlishly screamed in terror at this as she run passed Yami at full speeds, leaving a trail of dust in her way.

". . ." Yami meanwhile looked on as she sweatdropped at this display. "Understandable with the possibility of dying." She thought to herself but still found it very unfitting for a high ranking kunoichi do to.

However what the older kunoichi didn't see was when the gate glowed, the word friend appeared in it and then began to open. Once it fully open there stood the trio looking outside with deadpan expression on their faces, clearly from hearing the scream from Anko.

"Really Anko-neechan?" Satsuki got out with clear disappointment in her tone as she tilted head to the side.

"Never thought I would hear her of all people scream like that." Naruto admitted in a mutter.

"Well, it was understandable if you consider the fact that she could had been killed if something when wrong." Hinata stated, trying to save face for the older kunoichi.

Before anyone could say another word, the trio was suddenly trapped by a giant anaconda.

"Kya!" Hinata got out in fear.

"What the hell!?" Naruto shouted in fear.

"Eh!?" Satsuki got out. "I didn't summon you dattebakon!" She then added in a panic.

Then both Naruto and Satsuki felt the cold feel of steel in their necks, making them flinch in terror. The two slowly turned their head and saw a very terrifying and incredibly embarrassed Anko looking at them with red glowing and bloodthirsty eyes, making them whimpered in fear. "That. . .Never. . .Happened. . ." She got out in a low and a dead serious tone.

"H-Hai. . ." The two terrified lovers got out in a squeaking manner while Hinata giggled awkwardly at this as she was the only one not being threaten most likely by the fact that she defended her.

Before anything else got said or be done, they all heard knocking. This stopped all the terror as they slowly turned toward the close gate. "It appears it has work, the gate won't open for me." Yami called out from the other side of the gate.

Anko soon calmed herself down as she ordered the anaconda to release the two. "Alright, since we knows that it works, we just get Snowflake registered." She then suggested but didn't remove the kunais from the two's necks. "But I meant what I said. . .if you tell a soul about my little. . .slip up and I'll will make your lives a living hell, especially now that I can say here. . ." She all but threaten to the two loud mouths.

Said loud mouths shivered in unison and nodded frantically at that.

After that, the trio let Yami in as she then did the same steps Anko did. This made the gate add her name on the list of friends.

"Well now that we got all that out of the way, I'll be going now." Anko stated as she turn towards to the silver/blue haired girl.

The older kunoichi then chuckled pervertedly as thought of what she had plan for tonight began to run in her mind, with many kinky plays appeared in her mind, making her giggle even more pervertly.

Anko finally got decided on one and was not ready to unleashed all of her frustrated day in one wild night. "I better get going, like I said, still need the rest of my stuff from my old apartment." She then stated in an all to excited tone as the gates reopened for her.

". . .Hai." Yami got out with a blush, recognizing the form of excitement her new team leader was emitting.

And with that, Anko ran off, heading in the direction of her apartment. "Have fun with the gakis Snowflake!" She called out without looking at her as she waved her arm with an overly excited manner.

"That was way too obvious. . ." The Team Seven members thought in unison.

"No wonder Kurama's not back yet dattebayo. . ." Naruto then got out in his head.

"Hai dattebahi. . ." Hinata agreed via mental link.

"Ero-kitsune. . ." Satsuki meanwhile grumbled as she and everyone else watched as the purple haired jonin leave.

Yami then looked at the trio as the gate reclosed themselves. "Is. . .Is Anko-san. . .always like this?" She then questioned.

"Yup/Hai." The trio declared in semi unison.

"Ok, I just wanted to make sure." Yami replied in a calm tone as she looked at the house. "This really is a big house though." She admitted while wanting to change the subject.

The trio expression turn into a happy one as they looked at the house. "Yeah! This place is huge and awesome!" Naruto declared with a large grin in his face.

"Got that right! It's pretty awesome!" Satsuki happily admitted with her hands behind her head.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that with a smile on her face. "How about we give you a tour around the house Yami-chan?" She offered to that kunoichi/swordswoman. "Even though we just moved in ourselves, we were able to figure out the layout of the house." She then added.

Yami gave a small smile to that as she nod to the offer. "I would like that Hinata-san." She replied.

With that, the new roommates went back in to see the house and show it around to the kunoichi/samurai.


In the former apartment of Anko Mitarashi. . .

Kurama, while still in his human transformation, was laying on the bed with a bored expression on his face while looking out the window to see that the moon had just came out. Ever since he had his talked with his younger sibling, he was waiting for his mate to come back, only to wait for a few hours waiting for his reward.

The human transformed fox eventually let out an annoyed sigh as he looked at the moon. "Jeez, the night's just about to begin. . ." Kurama muttered. "But I will wait. . .this will definitely be my best night ever with Anko-chan!" He then declared with a fire in his eyes and complete excitement running through his body.

As the demonic fox's was about to get on his fantasies, the door then slowly opened. "Heya," A seductive voice started. "Were you waiting long?" It then questioned in the same tone.

Like almost getting a whiplashed, Kurama immediately turned his head at rapid speeds that one would had thought he just broke his own neck.

Anko then slowly entered the apartment, revealing that she wasn't in her jonin outfit, but this time, she was wearing what appeared to be a nurse's outfit, but this version was more sexy and revealing as it showed her breasts and barely covered her silky smooth legs. "Hello there Kyū-kun. . ." She then began. "Your nurse will see you now." She then purred out while licking her lips.

This made Kurama's eyes widen to plate size as his nose let out a roaring nosebleed. "FUCK YEAH! I LOVE THIS WOMAN! SHE'S WORTHY OF BEING MY FUCKIN' MATE!" He roared in excitement in his mind.

Anko smirked sensually as she strutted over to the stunned man in a very provocative manner. "Sexy enough for you?" She then asked while purring , though she already knew the answer.

Kurama soon then took a deep breath as he looked at the woman after cleaning the nosebleed. "Sexy just doesn't do you justice. . .but goddess level does Anko-chan." He then stated in a flirtatious manner with a smirk on his face. "That is what you are my dear, a goddess of seduction." He then praised in a declaring tone.

Anko blushed to that, but smirked at the complement. "A goddess huh?" She then began as she slowly started taking the nurse's jacket off. "I would say, I'm more of a succubus. . ." She then admitted in a sensual tone. "A succubus for you that is. . .one that will suck you dry. . ." She then added in a more husky tone.

That did it, Kurama then sat up as he watched as the woman stripped herself. "Yes my Anko-chan. . ." He then realized in his own husky tone as he approached her while his clothes vanished from his body. "You. . .are. . .MINE!" He roared in a possessive declaration.

Anko smirked savagely at that as she stood in front of him completely naked. "But can you make me yours?" She declared in a challenging manner.

Kurama on the other hand knew that this was only a play, this made his primal instincts kicked in as he also smirked savagely himself. "Challenge accepted." He then thought.

Before Anko could even blink, she was already pin down onto the bed with her man right on top of her. "Ready?" She then whispered in anticipation.

"Since you declared it my love. . ." Kurama soon remarked in a mutter. "Get ready for the best twelve hours of your life. . ." He then statd in a tempting tone.

The two then took this moment to start as they began a furious make-out session with the red haired man grabbing the purple haired woman's breasts.

Soon, moans then wailed out as the echoed through Konoha.


In the Hokage office. . .

After a few hours of working Tsunade had finished organizing the documents that Anko had blown away. Then the Hokage just finished another document and placed it on the stack of papers as she then turned around to look at the darken villager. "Still in repair, but the village is fixing itself nicely." She then praised in satisfaction.

It was true for the most part, ever since the trio had left from their latest mission to the Land of Snow, the village had been slowly starting to rebuild and was looking much better than it did before they left. This made the female Hokage to smile happily.

"It seems like everything is starting to look up for me." Tsunade replied with satisfaction. Then her thoughts began to lean towards a certain trio and smile. "I guess those three had a positive influence on the people, even though they treated them like shit originally." She then stated, feeling proud of the three.

Then Tsunade's smile turn into a smirk as she remembered the suggestion she made to Anko and her team. "That will keep those three from doing anything inappropriate." She thought to herself with proudness at her decision. "With Anko being with them, it will keep them in line. . .they are too young for that. . ." She soon muttered.

Just then, sensual moans were heard with them echoing for the entire village to hear.

At the sounds, Tsunade blushed at that, but she then groaned in annoyance as she recognized what that was. "Oh good kami. . ." She muttered as she then recognized one of the voices. "Anko. . .what the hell. . .?" She then questioned.

Just then, a male voice roared loudly in the same matter as Anko's voice.

This made Tsunade smacked her hand to her forehead loudly after realizing what it could only mean. "I just let those gakis have a free pass to do whatever the hell they want with them under the same roof. . ." She declared, feeling really stupid now.

Just when Tsunade was about to give up and plan something to separate the trio in a drastic manner, her brain recalled a vital piece of information she had forgotten. "Yami Tsuki. . .and the will be future Viper Squad members." She muttered out in realization.

The female Hokage's smirk then returned as she knew that the trio wouldn't dare do something inappropriate like that with other girls living with them, forcing her first feeling of accomplishment to return again. "There's no way those three will be able to do what they want being in charge of holding others in the house." She then stated. "It looks like I've won Uchiha. . ." She then laughed out loud.


Back at the Team Seven new residence. . .

The trio and Yami had spent the last few hours looking at the house, room by room and once again making the trio loving their new home even more. While Yami still had a her normal expressionless face, but she too liked the house she would lived in.

Satsuki suddenly sneezed as she felt a feeling of immense annoyance filling her being as she and her teammates were showing the kunoichi/samurai the house. "Why do I have the urge to strangle something?" She then thought in confusion.

"Probably from ero-kitsune with what he's doing to Anko-sensei at the moment." Naruto suggested via mental link.

Satsuki however shook her head to that. "Nah. . .That I could just ignored. . .this is much more annoying than that. . ." She soon admitted.

"I guess we will have to worry about that later." Hinata then suggested as she then looked at their other roommate.

Then after another couple of minutes, the group were now on the spacious backyard as it was the last part for the kunoichi/swordswoman to see.

"So Yami-chan, is there anything you like in particular?" Hinata then asked with curiosity.

"All of the house is very well made, but if I have to choose anything, it would be the training room and the backyard as they will help me train my swords skills." Yami replied with her normal monotonous tone, but the trio knew that the girl was really satisfied with her new living quarters.

Satsuki nodded to that with a smile as she placed a hand on the kunoichi/samurai shoulder. "I'm glad you like it, this place really is impressive and it's just as awesome that we're living here." She replied happily.

Naruto then placed his hands behind his back while grinning widely. "Especially since we can now all train together with our swords." He then suggested.

Yami gave a small smile to that. "Yes, I would like that very much and we may improve our kenjutsu from what we learn from one another." She replied with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Yeah!" Naruto shouted with excitement at the thought of finally fighting and training with his blade.

Hinata giggle at the over excitement of her fiancé. "Well, for now, I think it's best if we go back inside and have Yami-chan choose a room." She calmly suggested to the three.

To this suggestion, they all nodded in agreement.

Then they started heading back into the house while Satsuki placed her hands in her pocket, by doing so she felt many small metallic objects making her stop. "What-" She began as she then recognized what were them. "Oh yeah. . ." She soon thought as she looked at her right arm. "My shield. . ." She then muttered.

At the sudden halt of the Uchiha, the rest also stopped and turn around. "What's wrong?" Yami asked with concern in her voice.

Satsuki sighed as she went into her pocket again and pulled out the fragments of her broken shield. "That bastard Dotō destroyed my shield. . ." She muttered with anger and sadness in her voice.

To what was said, Hinata's eyes widen to that. "Oh, that's right. . ." She got out with sadness.

Naruto then rubbed the back of his head as he looked at the fragments. "The gift I got you before going to Snow, huh. . ." He stated with concern in his voice, he wasn't that sad that the shield was broken as he was glad that it protected her, what made him sad was seeing the girl sad.

Yami looked downward with shame when she learned this. "I am very sorry. . .to protect me from Dotō, you had to sacrifice your precious shield." She apologized in a guilt filled tone.

Satsuki however shook her head to that. "Nah, it wasn't your fault Yami-chan, just that bastard's for delivering the punch. . .and I'm glad that you were safe because it this." She got out in a reassuring tone trying to make the girl feel better.

"I see. . ." Yami responded, though still felt depressed about it. "Is there. . .any sort of blacksmith in Konoha to get it fixed?" She then suggested.

This suggestion made the Naruto and Hinata began to think, but Satsuki smiled happily to the idea. "Well I was thinking of asking Tenten-chan, she's a friend of ours that's a year older then us, if she could help me out. Her father's a local blacksmith and weapons shop owner." She told the girl.

Yami face brighten a bit upon hearing that. "That's great then. I hope she can do something about it." She replied with a small smile.

Satsuki nodded to that as she then started to walk at a faster pace. "I hope so too. I'm gonna head there now to see if she's home!" She then decided.

Hinata nodded to that. "Sure, go ahead Satsuki-chan, we'll see you later." She replied.

"Just make sure to remind her that if she wants to know what happen tell her that she and the rest of her team should come here to introduce Yami." Naruto reminded her.

Satsuki nodded in agreement. "OK! And we can also have them be register in the friend list too!" She added with a wide smile.

With that said, the Uchiha headed towards the gate so that she could go and look for their friend in hopes of her fixing her shield.

As the remaining three heard the gate opening and closing, Naruto sighed as he looked at the silver/blue haired girl. "Ok then Yami-chan, how about we help you choose a room now?" He then suggested.

Said girl face gained a small smile and nodded to the idea. "Very well." Yami replied as they headed back inside to help her chose a room.


Deep underground, within the darkness. . .

CLANG! SLASH! BAM!

Flashes of light resulting as the sound of metal connecting with metal was seen and echoed loudly.

Two shadowy figures stood in the center as their forms couldn't be seen from the lack of light source to show who they were. "She has grown strong." The first stated in a monotone voice.

"Indeed." The other one agreed. "Though there is still room for improvement." They then added.

The sounds of soft tapping of footsteps could be echoed around the area, however the two couldn't find the source, making it apparent that their was a third people present there.

The two figures tried to remain in their place as they knew that this was just a diversion tactic to confused them.

Suddenly, the sound of rocks cracking and moving around echoed throughout the room, this caused a red flag to appeared in their minds as the danger of death filled them and move out of the way.

BAM! CRACK!

No sooner they moved, the sound of heavy impacts could be heard where they once stood and the sound of the floor violently cracking soon followed. Making their decision to dodge the correct one as such an impact would had killed them.

"Her wilderness training has brought her physical strength to a higher level while her new jutsu, it only enhances that even further." The first monotone voice analysed.

"I concur, however there is still that recklessness within her. It will only hinder her." The second then stated in the same tone.

After they said their thoughts the sound of rocks began to crack and fall to the ground. Then the sound of low but very violent humming followed afterwards.

However unlike the tapping of feet, this sound came from a specific part. This made the two instantly calculate where the third was located.

SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!

The sounds of multiple kunais could be heard being thrown at the direction of the humming. The kunais were thrown with such accuracy and strength that they knew that they would hit their mark.

The owner of the humming gave a monotone smirk at this as the person was waiting for this as the sound of humming intensified from low tone to a loud violent one.

SLICE! SLASH! SLICE!

The sound of kunais being sliced in half began to fall to the ground around the person as the sound of dipping water could now be heard being echoed.

Once all of the kunais had fallen, lights of flames began to ignite to reveal the cave under the warehouse.

The first of the two then stepped forward, revealing a blank white mask with a black cloak over his body. "Mastery of two elements, this increases her potential even further." The ROOT shinobi contemplated with his normal monotone voice.

The second then appeared as he looked like the first. "She still has a long road ahead. Remember, her body has the accelerated training seals, forcing her body to obtain more, becoming stronger at an abnormal rate. This will hinder her physical body growth, however that shouldn't affect her physically or skill wise." He explained with the same tone.

The third person then walked towards the other two and showed that it was Sakura in her own ROOT uniform and snake mask on. "My loyalty is to Danzō-sama and Orochimaru-sama. My life belongs to them." She replied in a monotone voice. "We are their weapons for their command only." She then added as she saluted to the other two ROOT members.

"In Root, you have no name. You have no feelings. You have no past. You have no future. There is only the mission." The two ROOT shinobi declared in an emotionless tone as they saluted back to the girl.

"We are tools of our master that assembled us." Sakura then stated in the same emotionless tone. "We forever stay in the shadow, forever loyal and obedient to our master." She then added.

"And those shadows will one day consume all, shrouding everything in darkness. . ." The three then finished in unison, all of them being emotionless as they said it.

At that moment, the light of the flame then flickered and died out as they were once again enveloped in darkness.


Elsewhere in Konoha. . .

The two members of Team Eight plus Fū and Chōmei were walking through the village after completing and reporting their recent mission while Kurenai left them the young chunins to have some R&R.

"Well, that's another mission done, right boy?" Kiba sighed out and asked his dog partner, who barked in agreement.

Chōmei meanwhile was in his human transformation as he had his hands behind his head as he walked next to his container after returning to her side after the discussion with his oldest sibling. "Oh! That sounded fun! Why didn't you take me too! I wanted to go out the village to stretch my wings!" The seven tailed Bijū whined in a childly manner.

"Isn't that because you weren't with Fū at the time?" Shino then questioned the beetle Bijū.

"Well that because I was bored!" Chōmei whinned once more with a pout. "And I was entertaining people with my dancing!" He then proudly added while crossing his arm in a proud manner.

"Then you don't have the right to whine. . ." Fū declared with a deadpan tone.

Instantly, Chōmei felt as if an arrow pierced him, making him drop to the floor as he lean on his hands and knees before he began crying. "WAAAH! FŪ-CHAN! YOUR SO MEAN!" He then whined even more.

Team Eight look on at this with a sweatdrop while Fū only ignored her Bijū as they continued walking, leaving said Bijū behind.

As they continued to walk, Shino began to look around the village to see that there were still come villagers working on repairing some of the damage buildings. "The repairs are coming along well. . ." He stated.

"Yup, just a few more and the village will be back to normal." Kiba replied with relief tone as Akamaru barked in agreement.

This got Fū's attention as she placed a finger on her chin. "Even though there are still people missing from the crazy event. . ." She then reminded. "Seriously though. . .who made a jutsu that can cause a rain of acid to happen!?" She then questioned.

"Insane, delusional, power hungry and extremist people. . ." Shino declared in his monotone voice.

"Basically people like Danzō." Kiba then simplified.

Shino nodded in agreement to that as memories of the past began to fill him. Of Danzō, him, his father and another family member. "I better not tell them that I was almost recruited into his organization. . ." He then decided in his head as he thoughts began to think of the other family member. ". . .Torune." He added.

Fū then notice the slight change in the insect user's face. "Is something wrong Shino?" She asked with worry in her voice.

Shino made an almost unnoticeable flinch to that as he then shook his head. "No, everything is fine Fū-san." He responded in the same monotone voice.

Fū slightly narrowed her eyes to that as she didn't believe what the Aburame said for an instant, but she only let out a sigh. "If you say so. . ." She replied as she decided to let it go.

Chōmei meanwhile finally recovered from his depression and return to his container's side as he also noticed this, but decided not to say anything about it. "Huh, I guess something must've happened to him involving that old fart. . ." He thought to himself while blocking out his container from hearing him.

Meanwhile Kiba was only enjoying the moment before he notice something. "Ya know something." then started, gaining the others attention towards him. "It's much more quiet without Haruno around." He then admitted with Akamaru barking in agreement.

". . ." Shino said nothing as he narrow his eyes behind his sunglasses. "It is. . ." Was all he had to say on the subject.

"You guys have been telling me a lot about her, but I really never meet her so I can't really say anything." Fū began to say. "But I gotta ask, doesn't she know she'll be in trouble for not reporting or something? At the very least she should stopped and reported to Kurenai-san. I mean if she doesn't, wouldn't that label her a missing nin by now?" She then stated as she remembered the rules that she should followed.

"Well now that you mention it," Kiba began. "I never really like her, but it's been months since I or anyone have seen her. . .she should be either dropped as a shinobi or be labeled a missing nin." He stated as he was now really thinking that this situation was now really strange.

Shino nodded in agreement to that. "That is correct," He answered. "There is still a lot that we need to learn about from her as well, as of who trained her during the time before the Chunin Exam finals." He then stated.

"Yeah, as much as I really didn't want to admit it, she did give Hinata a good fight at the time." Kiba then stated while Akamaru whined a little. "But Akamaru told me that there was something really off about her at the time." He then revealed as said puppy barked and whine to that.

"That really can't be good then." Fū then admitted. "Animals of all kind can sense things that humans can't." She explained.

Chōmei gave a quick nod. "Yup, even I felt all kinds of bad vibes of from her." He then revealed in a serious tone.

"I guess it all started out with her getting that tatoo on her hand." Kiba then guessed as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Tattoo?" Fū asked not knowing about that with a raised eyebrow.

Kiba pointed at his right hand. "She got a really weird tattoo on the top of her right hand. Said something about her getting bit by something as well." He told the natural green haired girl. "Ever since then, she's been even more annoying and distant to everything and everyone." He soon added.

"Did she get something from it?" Fū asked with a confused tone.

Kiba shrug his shoulders to that. "Who knows?" He replied. "We were going through the Forest of Death at the time so any insane creature could had bitten her." He then added.

"Moving on, Team Eight now is down a member since Sakura's disappearance." Shino then stated in a serious tone.

Kiba's eyes widen as he then remembered that fact. "Oh yeah, I really didn't thought of that. . .so are team is missing a member." He stated.

Chōmei however tilted his head to that. "What you mean by that? Isn't Fū-chan in this team already?" He asked with a confused tone.

This got the young Chunin's attention. "Eh?" Kiba then asked in confusion.

"I mean isn't Fū-chan been with this team for a while now, so isn't she already on this team?" The disguised Bijū stated.

The three Chunin looked at each other as the processed what the Bijū just said.

"Now that you mention it, I really have spent a lot of missions with this team. . ." Fū stated. "It would make others think that I was a Team Eight member." She added.

Kiba soon blinked a couple of times as he looked at Akamaru. "What do you think boy? Do you think Fū's part of Team Eight?" He then asked.

In response, the white dog barked happily in response.

Shino then gave a pondering expression to that. "Hmm. . .it would make sense. . ." He then pointed out. "You have been excellent support on missions with us and Kurenai-sensei." He then added.

To that, Fū slightly blushed in embarrassment as she rubbed the back of her head. "You think so?" She then asked with an awkward smile.

"Hell yeah!" Kiba then declared with a smirk. "Your awesome on missions, especially with the hovering thing thanks to the Chōmei!" He then added.

"Plus the addition of using your powder to distract enemies, giving us the advantage in the fights or for Kurenai-sensei to apply her genjutsu." Shino soon stated.

"And don't get us started on the super strength you got!" Kiba then added in excitement with Akamaru barking in agreement and wagging his tail happily.

Fū then rubbed the back her head again as she then began to become embarrassment. "Well, I'm still working on that." She then admitted.

The young kunoichi only just gained this ability to enhance her physical strength thanks to her exposure to her Bijū's chakra. Much like Tsunade's chakra enhanced strength, however unlike the Hokage, this ability doesn't need perfect chakra control, but could still rival it in pure strength if she perfects this ability.

"And it's' all thanks to me! Beetles are known as the strongest insects so of course Fu-chan would too!" Chōmei declared with a bragging tone.

"Though most of the missions were almost ruined thanks to a certain Tailed Beast letting his chakra leak, giving away our position." Shino then reminded.

A massive mental arrow then pierced Chōmei through his chest as dropped to the ground again. "WAAA!" He once again began crying.

However Fū and Shino ignored the Bijū and continued walking, all the while Kiba sweatdropped at the sight. "Damn. . .they're brutal to him. . ." He got out with a deadpan tone as Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Anyway," Shino then started. "I believe that since Sakura is still missing, Fū should join Team Eight in her place." He then suggested as she turn towards Fū. "Only if this is alright with you that is." He soon added.

Fū got a pensive look before she nodded in agreement to that. "I'm ok with that." She replied with a happy grin.

Kiba finally reached the two and nodded in agreement to that. "Same here." He then stated. "You'd make a way better teammate than Sakura ever was." He added.

Fū in turn then smiled to that complement. "Thanks Kiba, I appreciate that." She replied.

Shino then looked at the two. "I suggest now we find Kurenai-sensei and request this idea to her." He then suggested.

"I'm cool with that." Kiba stated with grin.

"Me too." Fū added with a smile.

"By the way." Chōmei suddenly started.

"When did you get back?" Fū asked in a deadpan tone.

And once again, the Bijū fell in sadness. "WAAAH! Your really mean to me today!" Chōmei cried.

"Enough already. . .what were you going to tell us. . ." Fū got out with annoyance.

Instantly the Bijū was on his feet like nothing had happen. "What are we gonna do about the Naruto and his girls? He did tell us about their new house and the seals thing." He then reminded.

"Oh yeah, the clone did say that just as we got back. . ." Kiba got out as he also remembered that.

Shino nodded to that. "I suggest we go to the location where they are living tomorrow morning, it is getting late." He decided.

"Alright." Both Fū and Kiba replied in unison whiling nodding their heads.

The three chunin and Bijū then went off to find Kurenai to make their suggested request.


In the Yamanaka residence. . .

Ino was in her room, laying on her bed as she looked at the ceiling before sighing. It was only a few minutes after the clone of the other blond in Konoha gave her the information on where were their new home was located and told her to go there.

"So, Naruto, Hinata-chan and Satsuki-chan are back. . ." She then muttered with a smile. "It's great that they have a new place they can live safely now." She added.

Then the platinum blonde heiress began giggling when an image came to her head. "And so Satsuki-chan can act like herself without dealing with others breaking in." She thought in amusement.

As moments passed, Ino's face began to changed to a sadden expression as her thoughts began to wondered about another friend. "Sakura. . .why did you do all of that. . ." She then muttered to herself.

It's been weeks since the Yamanaka had figured out that Sakura was the one that had helped Danzō with his take over. However it had been the same amount of time that she still hasn't told anyone as she didn't want her once close friend to be labeled as a traitor or worse, being executed as one.

"We used to be such good friends. . ." The platinum blonde then got out. "If only. . .we didn't act like such bitches to one another with the whole Sasuke thing. . .and even breaking off our friendship because of it. . ." She soon added.

The Yamanaka honestly didn't blame Satsuki for disguising herself as a male, not one bit since she and her former friend were the ones that fell for her while she was masquerading as a guy. But they let that turn into obsession that ended their friendship.

"Now Sakura's been missing ever since Danzō's escape and there's nothing I can do about it. . ." Ino then muttered in sadness as she thought it was her fault that it happen, thinking that had she told someone about this, then maybe the green and pink haired girl wouldn't have been missing.

Ino then sighed once more as she looked out the window. "Where are you Sakura?" She then wondered with worry.

After a few more moments at staring through her window, the Yamanaka shook her head as if trying to get rid of her worries. "Worrying won't do any good now. . .The best think I can do now is become a better person and become a better friend to Satsuki-chan that I should have been with Sakura." She declared as she tried to resolve herself to accomplish this.

Ino then lifted herself up as she was now sitting on the side her bed. "I know that Sasuke didn't really exist, but I think I might become a good friend for the true Uchiha." She reassured herself with a determined smile.

With that reassurance, the Yamanaka Heiress had a new goal as she went to get ready to sleep for the night.


At another training ground. . .

"Whoa!" A female voice got out as a flash of dark gray was seen dodging a green blur that moved at insane speeds.

The green blur quickly readjusted as it faced the dark grey figure. "HA!" A male voice shouted loudly as he charged again with even more speed. "You have been improving Kin-chan! Not many are able to dodge my attacks!" He then declared with passion.

Kin sweatdropped as she could only giggle awkwardly in response. "I better have Lee-kun. . .or I know I'll end up in a hospital for days. . ." She got out with a deadpan tone as she quickly pulled out a hand full of senbons in between each of her fingers. "And this is me with my leg weights on. . ." She then added to herself.

Lee then charged once more as the girl narrowly dodge at the last second by doing a side cartwheel jump. Then while still in mid air, she threw her senbons at every joints on the taijutsu specialist so fast that it made a whirring sound.

Lee saw this and stopped his charge as he began to spin in place. "Leaf Hurricane!" He shouted as he blocked all of the senbons and then stood in place. However when he felt something hitting his shoulder. "Ah!" He got out in slight pain as he saw that he had received a senbon on his shoulder.

"Match over! The winner of the first hit wins match is . .Kin!" Gai declared loudly and excitedly.

"But how!? I block them all!" Lee asked with startlement, the mini Guy wasn't sad or angry that he lost, only that he was very confused how he lost.

"Nope." Kin simply got out as she twirled a senbon between her fingers.

Tenten then made herself known as she was wearing her red jumpsuit that hugged her body. "Ok, even I want to know. I know Lee isn't the type to let his guard down." She then stated.

"Interesting. . ." Neji then muttered in a calm tone as he was in his white jumpsuit.

Kin could help but feel proud of herself for making all of Team Gai wonder how she did it. "You just fell for my genjutsu." She declared with a teasing tone.

"HUH!? But how!? There weren't any bells!?" Lee exclaimed with complete confusion as he knew that the girl used bells to make genjutsu.

"Yeah, I thought so too." Tenten asked as she too didn't saw any bells.

"Well. . .your only half right." Kin stated, still with a teasing tone in her voice. "While I do used my chakra on the bells to make genjutsus. . .but in the end, I still used sounds to cast it. . ." She added as she hinted her new genjutsu.

Neji, being the genius that he was instantly figure out how Kin did it. "I see, excellent strategy for when an opponent thinking that they know all there is to know." He got out in a wise mater.

This however only made Lee even more confused as he began to think when did Kin use anything remotely similar. "But she didn't used anything to make a sound. . ." He thought to himself as he thought back to the sparring match so far.

The green jumpsuit wearing Chunin remembered how the former Oto shinobi narrowly dodged all of his fast blows and when she threw the senbons. "You threw them and. . ." He began as his eyes widen in surprise. "It made a whirring sound!" He shouted with amazement in his tone.

Kin smiled as the boy figured it out. "Yup! That's what I used to cast my genjutsu! I still used my chakra on my senbons like normal, but instead of bells, I used the whirling sound when I threw them to cast them, making it impossible for even fast fighters like you to detect until it's too late." She explained with a giggle.

Gai meanwhile had his arms cross as he was smiling, as he too figured out how the genjutsu using girl had done it. "Excellent, strategizing on the field is key in battle! That and the power of youth!" He declared with a thumbs up.

Tenten meanwhile nodded in agreement to the first part of her sensei's declaration. "Yeah, that was good ways of improving, this method and the whole alter the opponent's perception, really improves the skills you already had way better than the time on the Forest of Death." She commented.

"Well you tend to think of ways to live if you train with someone like Lee-kun for a long time." Kin replied with a small blush.

Lee then took in a deep breath as he looked at the one that defeated him. Excellent work Kin-chan!" He praised with his own thumbs up. "With this loss, I have become even more motivated to become stronger!" He then declared with a fire in his eyes.

"And he already bounced back. . ." Tenten muttered with a sweatdrop.

"Yes." Neji meanwhile agreed with a nod.

"Yes! That's the way to make your burning youth brighten even more!" Gai declared loudly.

"Hai! Gai-sensei!" Lee replied just as loudly.

"Well. . .it's getting late. . .is it alright to turn in Gai-sensei?" Tenten suddenly asked with a slightly annoyed tone as she was to tired for this.

"I'm inclined to agree. . ." Neji replied with a nod, feeling the same as his female teammate.

Gai then looked upward to see that the moon was out. "I see, well then, all of those that want to stay and continue training can stay and the rest may turn in for the night." He then stated in a calm tone as he gave his signature smile. "Great job today my youthful students!" He added.

"Thank you Gai-sensei! But I still wish to get some training in!" Lee than requested in excitement.

Kin nodded in agreement to that. "Same here sensei, I would like to get stronger still, so I'll stay a bit longer." She also requested.

Neji and Tenten nodded in response to what their sensei had said as they began to leave for the night.

"Oh!" Gai suddenly began, gaining everyone's attention. "And do not forget that we'll be visiting the youthful Team Seven's new home tomorrow!" He reminded.

"Oh yes! It will be nice to see the new home of Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan and Satsuki-chan!" Lee soon exclaimed with a fire in his eyes.

Kin nodded in agreement and smiled at this. "Yes, it will also be nice to asked how their long mission was like." She stated.

Neji meanwhile twitched at remembering the Hyuga living with the blond. "He better be treating with Hinata-sama with respect. . ." He muttered in a threatening tone.

Tenten meanwhile sighed at her Hyuga teammate tone of voice. "Neji. . .you do realize that they were out for quite a while and they should be with Kakashi-sensei and Haku-sensei probably for most of the time so I hardly think that what your thinking actually happen." She then reminded.

Neji said nothing more to that as he once more began to leave.

Tenten only sighed again as she shook her head from side to side before she then headed home.


Back in Konoha. . .

The two male Team Eight members plus Fū and Chōmei had just arrived at the apartment where the sensei of Team Eight lived.

"Yosh, let's get ourselves on Team Eight!" Chōmei happily declared while pumping a fist into the air in excitement.

Shino merely nodded in agreement as he then knocked on the door.

The three young chunins and disguised Bijū then waited a few moments before the door finally open and saw Kurenai in her casual clothing as she blinked at the surprise guest. "You guys? What are you doing here?" She asked, not really bothered by their unannounced visit, mostly because she never expected them to come visiting her at this time.

Shino nodded to that as he then looked at his sensei. "Forgive us for the unannounced visit. However may we come in? We have some matters to discuss sensei." He questioned and explained at the same time.

This caused the older kunoichi blinked a few times, but she nodded in confirmation. "Of course, come on in." She told her students and fellow comrades. As she couldn't help but wondered what was this about.

The three then nodded to that as they then entered the very neat and clean apartment, and then sat themselves down on the sofa.

Kurenai then sat herself across from her students as she looked at them. "So what is it that you want to talk about?" She soon asked with confusion and curiosity.

Shino then looked at his teammate and then at Fū as they all nodded, knowing what they should first talk about. The insect user then turn towards the older woman. "I believe that the first matter we must discuss is about is our missing teammate. . ." He then stated.

Kiba meanwhile had a rare serious expression on his face as he nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah, and I think you know who we're talking about Kurenai-sensei." He then said as Akamaru barked in agreement.

The older kunoichi did in fact knew what they were talking about, hoping that the last few mission would have derailed her students from thinking about that particular subject. "Yes. . .I do, it's been so long that it would be strange for you not to ask about her. . ." She replied as she never knew how she would have to tell them what the Hokage told her.

Shino narrowed his eyes under his sunglasses to that. "So what has happened to Sakura Haruno?" He asked as he and the other shinobi and Bijū wanted to know.

Kurenai then sighed as she knew this was coming. "Sakura. . .she's. . ." She then struggled out. "She's. . ." She then got out once more.

"What has happened to Sakura Haruno. . .?" Shino once more asked as he didn't like the way her sensei was procrastinating.

Kurenai sighed once more as she looked towards the ground with sadden eyes. "Sakura Haruno. . .until found. . .has become a missing nin until further notice under Tsunade-sama's order. . ." She then revealed in a equally sadden tone.

This slightly shocked the young chunins as they had a feeling of something like that would happen, but it was still surprising.

"I see. . ." Shino then replied with a monotone voice. "That is. . .troubling. . ." He soon admitted.

"Damn, a missing nin at her age. . ." Fū then got out as she shivered at the thought.

Kiba then recalled something his sensei had said. "Until found? What do you mean by that Kurenai-sensei? Isn't she at her home or something?" He asked with confusion

Shino and Fū soon also realized this and turn to said kunoichi. "Indeed, what does this mean?" He asked with serious tone. The insect user had tried to find her before, however he couldn't find a trace of her, this made him very suspicious of his once teammate even more.

Kurenai then looked at her window with sadden eyes. Soon enough, she then turn to them. "What you need to know first is this, what am to tell you should not be discuss until Hokage-sama said otherwise, understood?" She stated with seriousness.

The three and the disguised Bijū nodded to that, knowing this was a serious matter.

Kurenai then narrowed her eyes as she looked at the young chunins. "Ok, first off, we have no idea what actually is occurring with Sakura. . .or where she is for that matter. . ." She began.

Kiba's eyes widen in surprise at this. "Wait what? You don't know where she is?" He asked as he really didn't understand what happen to his former teammate.

"It's that bad?" Fū soon asked with worry.

Kurenai nodded in response to the jinchūriki's question. "One of the reasons is that when I personally asked if Tsunade-sama knew anything about her, she told me that she didn't know her. Of course I knew that it was an obvious matter since she was new to the village, but when she looked at her file. . .she found that it was completely blacked out." She then revealed in a serious tone.

Kiba then tilted his head to that. "Blacked out?" He then asked in confusion.

"Meaning that any and all of the physical information on her has been blocked off, as if someone had erased everything about her." Kurenai soon explained.

This only confused Kiba and Fū even more, however Shino and Chōmei narrowed their eyes as they found this incredibly suspicious.

"Why would someone try to erase her existence?" Chōmei suddenly asked in a serious tone. Though he may act childish most of the time, however like Kurama, he too was very intelligent in serious moments, so like Shino, he too found this situation very suspicious. "That can only spell trouble. . ." He meanwhile thought.

Kurenai merely shook her head to that. "I am. . .unsure about that, but I am truly starting to think that something happened to her even since the second part of the Chunin Exams ended for the month of training for the finals. . ." She then deducted.

Shino nodded to that. "Indeed, especially since she had her unexpected growth during the finals, even though she had lost to Hinata-san." He then stated.

"I guess we have to wait and see if the ANBU find her." Fū then got out as she knew that this was getting really complicated so she decided to go and change the subject. "Actually there is another thing that we wanted to talked to you about." She soon stated.

This ended the serious atmosphere that had filled the room. "Oh that's right, what was it that you wanted to talk about?" Kurenai then asked with a more relax tone.

Fū soon rubbed the back of her head as she looked at her disguised Tailed Beast. "Chōmei here mentioned something that practically made sense and well. . ." She began explaining before trailing off with a small blush of embarrassment.

To this, Kurenai raised an eyebrow to what the green haired jinchūriki said. "Being?" She then questioned in slight confusion.

Chōmei smiled widely at this. "That you should put Fū-chan on this team!" He declared in excitement.

To that statement, Kurenai blinked at this. "What was that?" She once more asked with confusion.

"What he meant was we three like to talk about if it was possible to place Fū as the third member of Team Eight since Haruno hasn't been in for weeks." Kiba then clarified.

"Chōmei merely came up with the idea to allow Fū-san to be on Team Eight since Sakura's. . .disappearance. . ." Shino simplified.

Kiba meanwhile smirked to that. "Got that right, since Fū here has been helping us a lot on our missions Sensei, so we thought it would be a good idea to make it official." He agreed.

"That is why we are here, to make this request to you Kurenai-sensei and obtain your approval before we even try to request it to Hokage-sama." Shino soon concluded.

Kurenai placed her hand on her chin as she began to think what her students and guest had just proposed to her. "Fū on Team Eight. . ." She muttered as she thought back on all the missions the jinchūriki has helped Team Eight and found the idea actually very good. Though she knew that she would like to have Sakura back, she knew that she couldn't be an incomplete team because of it.

Said jinchūriki meanwhile nodded to that. "I will be sure to do that best I can for the team." Fū then reassured.

The disguised beetle Bijū nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah! Fū-chan here was already an awesome genin back in Taki, so she can be great for this team!" He then praised.

Kurenai then looked at the girl with a serious expression. "Have you indeed thought this through Fū?" She then questioned.

The green haired girl then took a deep breath to that and nodded with a serious expression. "Hai, I, Fū Sora no Joō, would be honored to be a part of Konoha's Team Eight Squad." She then stated with a small bow.

Kurenai watched the green haired girl bowed to her with critical eyes, before she let out a sigh. "Fū. . ." She got out as she really wasn't to sure whether to accept the girl to replace the one that had been with her since graduation and hoped to had helped her grow as a kunoichi.

Seeing the indecisive in her sensei's face, the insect user took a step forward. "Fū-san has proven to be a well deserve asset for us since she had been going on missions with us." Shino then stated.

Kiba grinned at his teammate's statement. "Yeah! She's been awesome being on missions with us!" He agreed with Akamaru barking happily to that.

"Kiba. . .Shino. . ." Kurenai slightly muttered with a small smile that had a hint of sadness. She knew that the two boys didn't had a very close bond or one to Sakura, so she was sad that they had no trouble accepting Fū. So knowing that this change would infact help the team she knew what she must saw, as much as it sadden her.

"Pleeeeeeease?" Chōmei meanwhile pleaded in a childish tone. "I promise to be good!" He then added in the same tone.

Slightly shocked to the plea coming from the disguised Bijū, Kurenai then looked at the group in front of her and sighed. "Alright. . .I'll talk to the Hokage-sama and asked for your request to be approved." She replied as she expertly hid her sadness.

This lighten the expressions of the dog using member of Team Eight as he grinned in satisfaction. "Alright! This is awesome!" Kiba declared as he pumped a fist into the air.

Fū grinned to the being accepted onto Team Eight as she nodded once more to the genjutsu using jonin. "Thank you Kurenai-sa- I mean, sensei." She replied with happiness in her tone while also correcting her respect to the jonin now.

"Sweet!" Chōmei got out with a grin and then began to dance out of joy.

Shino was much more calm and controlled as he simply nodded with satisfaction. "We appreciated this Kurenai-sensei, we will prove that this was a wise decision." He stated with a gratefulness in his tone.

Kurenai smiled at them. "I'm sure that you'll do your best, that's all I ask from you." She replied. However on the inside, she was still a little sad for wondering where her original female student was. "Sakura. . ." She thought in depression, but kept a happy face for her students.


At the underground hideout. . .

The robed Sakura had finished all of her training and was now heading for her room for the night, walking through the dimmed hallways before she sneezed under her mask. "Someone must be discussing or thinking about me. . ." She voiced out in a emotionless and monotone matter.

The green and pink haired kunoichi didn't even bothered to think of who it could have been and continued heading to her temporary room. "Rest. . ." She then stated. "Rest. . .then more training the next day. . ." She soon added.

Once she had reached her room, she took off her ROOT robe and then her mask, but at that moment, her expressionless face then turn into on of exhaustion as she began taking deep breaths as well as an expression of annoyance and anger. "Dammit. . .I want to train with Danzō-sama and Orochimaru-sama. . ." She growled out with her eyes glowing yellow-green.

The irritated girl then sat on the side of her bed as she then looked at her barely sealed Curse Mark was she watched the seal that a certain silver haired Jonin used on her. "This power. . ." She got out in satisfaction as she then licked her lips.

Sakura then felt bit's of the curse seal power slowly flowing into her chakra, slightly intensifying it. "This was worth throwing away my worthless past. . .a past involving me being a fool, living with fools. . .and letting fools hinder me. . ." She stated while berating herself.

Some of the Curse Mark then snaked and spread across the green and pink haired girl's arm, causing her to moan from the feel of it. "Yessssss. . .this is the best feeling. . ." She then got out as the Curse Mark retracted itself.

This left Sakura feeling exhaustion going through her body as her body was now demanding rest as she then plopped onto the bed and instantly fell asleep.


Elsewhere in Konoha. . .

Tenten was walking home while shielding her eyes from the people chuckling and giggling at the poor girl that was forced to wear the red jumpsuit like outfit. "Jeez. . ." She grumbled out as she kept walking.

The poor girl always received these reactions after her sensei wanted to train them in the ridiculous outfit. But she simply tried to ignore them as best as she could. She was thankful that she was now a few meters away from her home.

"Tenten-chan?" A familiar female voice called out in confusion. "Is that you dattebakon?" She then asked.

This got Tenten's attention as she looked up to see the female Uchiha with his hand on her hip and her body tilted slightly as she was standing in front of her home. "Satsuki-chan? What are you doing here? Its pretty late." She counter asked.

Satsuki then rubbed the back of her head as she gave off a very Naruto like smile. "Well I came here for a request basically." She then revealed.

The older girl in response raised an eyebrow to that. "What kind of request?" Tenten asked out of curiosity. She would happily do it if it was within her power, but she still needed to asked first.

This made Satsuki face sadden as she then went into her pocket as she then showed the fragments of her shield as well as showing the damage glove arm gauntlet. "During my last mission, my shield got destroyed." She then explained with sadness as she looked at the older girl in the eyes. "I was hoping that you could fix it Tenten-chan." She then requested with honesty and hope.

Seeing the sadden face on the younger girl, Tenten smiled gently and nodded. "Alright, let's see what we got." She stated as the two then entered the blacksmith's house.

Once inside, the Uchiha placed the remains of the shield and the glove arm gauntlet on the table as Tenten looked at them. "Mmm. . ." She got out as she examined the remains with blacksmith eyes. "Were there any special features to this shield?" She then asked.

To that, Satsuki shook her head. "Well it's not all that special, only that the shield can be attach and detach to this arm gauntlet." She explained the basic feature of her shield. "The truth is that this is very special to me personally. . .Because Naru-kun gave it to me. . ." She then revealed with a hint of sadness.

That was all Tenten needed to know that this shield was very special to the Uchiha, but she still had a sad expression when she looked at the broken equipment once more. "Well. . .I got to be frank too. . .the shield is beyond repair." She admitted regrettably.

Satsuki sighed to that in response to what was admitted. "I. . .I expected that as much dattebakon. . ." She counter admitted as tears wanted to come out of her eyes, but resisted them coming out.

To seeing this expression, Tenten really didn't like what happened to the Uchiha as she looked at the shield remains and glove again. As the knowledge of her father's foreign teachings began to flow in her mind and idea came to her. "I think I can do something." She then admitted.

This caught the Uchiha's attention as she looked at the blacksmith's daughter. "What do you mean? I thought it couldn't be fixed anymore." Satsuki stated in confusion.

"Well. . .while it's true that it is beyond repair. . .I think I can remake the shield with the remains." Tenten stated with an encouraging smile.

This made Satsuki slightly doubtful. "But. . .it really wouldn't be the same shield anymore. . ." She stated. She knew that it would be selfish of her to be picky, but she really loved the shield just the way it was, because it was a gift from the man she loved.

Tenten could figured out the reason for her doubt as she smiled encouragingly. "I know it may be different, but it will still have the remains of the original, so in a sense, you can think of it as it still being your shield, but only that it was reborn like a phoenix coming back from it's ashes." She then explained with determination.

Satsuki's eyes brighten at hearing that statement as she couldn't help but find the words really comforting "The phoenix of rebirth. . ." She muttered at the saying. Then she looked at the remains for a few more moments before she smiled. "Alright Tenten-chan, go for it dattebakon!" She then encouraged.

Tenten nodded to that, glad to see the Uchiha's expression change for the better. "You got it Satsuki-chan, I'll show off my new forging skills I learn from my dad and turn this shield into something incredible and worthy of you." She declared with more determination as she held her hand into a fist as she held her bicep in a flashy manner. "Come by again the day after tomorrow to see how I'm doing because me and my team are planing to visit you tomorrow." She then requested as she then tightened her headband around her head.

Satsuki nodded happily at that as she was happy to have her shield back so soon. "Alright, thank you so much. I'll be sure to pay you in full." She stated with a smile.

Tenten however waved her hand to that in dismissal. "Nah! Don't worry about the money! I'm doing this for a friend, you know what they say, we girls have to stick together!" She declared happily. "And besides it's a good way to show off everything I learn the past few weeks." She added.

Satsuki's smile didn't waver at what the blacksmith's daughter said. "Thanks Tenten-chan, I really appreciate it, I really do." She replied in a grateful tone.

The older Kunoichi only smiled back with kindness to that. There was a quiet yet happy bonding moment between the two.

"Though there is still one thing I'm wondering about at the moment." Satsuki then admitted while holding back a giggle to what she saw.

This caused Tenten to blink at that, not understanding what the Uchiha meant. "What?" She simply asked with a confused tone.

"I like the outfit." Satsuki got out as she couldn't help but giggle some more. This made the older Kunoichi look at the younger girl with a deadpan expression as she knew that question was eventually coming. "But I gotta ask." She then got out.

"What?" Tenten asked with a slightly annoyed tone.

Satsuki only giggle yet again in amusement. "How come your wearing basically in a red jumpsuit version of what Gai-sensei and Lee-kun wears?" She then finally asked. "I mean I never thought I would see you in something so. . .eccentric that could rival theirs dattebakon." She then added.

Tenten groaned in annoyance, knowing that was topic was going to be mentioned again. "You can thank Gai-sensei for this. . ." She began, referring to the jumpsuit. "He basically thought that since we all made Chunin now, we should strengthen our bond by wearing the exact same thing, or something like that." She then explained.

That was all Satsuki could take as she burst out laughing in pure amusement and just how funny it all was. "Oh man Tenten-chan! That's rich dattebakon!" She laughed out loud.

Tenten groaned once more, but she then let out a sigh that replaced it with a small smile. "Yeah, but I guess I would rather be with him and not someone like Danzō and his old ROOT Organization." She then admitted.

The Uchiha couldn't help but nod in complete agreement. "Oh yeah, that's definitely true." Satsuki agreed with a single intense nod. "And well this uniform is much more lively." She added with a fox like grin and purposely bounced her breasts.

Tenten sighed to that as she looked down at the outfit that was hugging her body. "And your a year younger then me. . ." She reminded herself as her head dropped in depression.

The rest of the time was soon spent as the Uchiha awkwardly trying to comforted the blacksmith about the development of breasts. However the two secretly enjoy each other's company until it was time for Satsuki had to got back home and the two said their goodbyes.


Elsewhere in the world. . .

A small candle light up what looked like underground cavern as a raspy and heavy breathing was heard from the cave like room and followed by intense coughing. "Thissssss body. . ." A voice hissed out. "It issssss starting to fail now. . ." They soon added before coughing some more.

The light finally lighten the person and it was none other than a tired and sweat covered Orochimaru as his face clearly showed that he was in intense pain and agony. However unlike his normal outfit, he likes to wear, he was now wearing a simple black bed robes as he laid in a bed.

The sounds of slow footsteps and a cane made the snake Sannin to turn at the direction of the side. "What a pathetic sight." An elderly voice insulted in a blunt matter.

To that, the Snake Sannin only chuckled sarcastically. "At least I'm not an old prune such as yourself Danzō." He remarked before coughing again.

Danzō, being an expert of controlling his emotions, felt nothing at this insult and didn't show any signs of annoyance or anger. "That's hardly relevant at this point as this old body will be more than enough. . ." He simply retorted.

Orochimaru only chuckle at that as he knew exactly what the old war hawk meant. "I guess your right about that." He struggled to get out an amused chuckle.

However before any other thing was said, another set of footsteps echoed the room. "I see you two are getting along just fine." A young and sarcastic voice suddenly commented.

The two shinobi's turn and saw the ever sarcastically smiling Kabuto coming in with medical equipment with him, obviously for the Sannin's health care.

After the medical nin applied it to his master, Orochimaru looked at him with a serious expression. "What is the project's development?" The Snake Sannin questioned, getting straight to the point.

Kabuto simply chuckled to at as he adjusted his glasses. "It is coming along remarkably well, even with the DNA of four individuals mixing, the process is going smoothly." He revealed in a calm manner as he then remembered something important. "However. . .an unexpected occurrence had occurred." He added.

Danzō single eye slightly narrow at this. "What do you mean?" He simply questioned with a controlled voice.

"I believe is best if you see this yourselves." Kabuto simply answered in a serious tone. "What happened is. . .interesting to say the least." He then added.

The oldest shinobi watched the youngest with slight interest in their eyes. "Very well, then let's see this unexpected occurrence." Orochimaru commented with a smirk on his face as he stood out of his bed.

With that, the three headed towards the projects secret location, though Orochimaru limping with his condition.


Elsewhere in the underground base. . .

Three figures of different builds walked into a room as they had either tired or annoyed expression on their faces.

"Damn, this rookies don't even make good playthings." A dark skinned man with six arm stated in complete boredom. "Well, aside from those hand picked guys, the others are basically bottom tier grunts for the moment." He then added.

"Fuckin' hell!" A female voice however got out in anger. "Why the fucking hell do we have to work on fucking training these fucking newbies from Konoha!?" She then questioned all the while letting out curse after curse as she completely ignored the second part of the darked skin man comment.

A large and bulky man let out a sigh at hearing this. "Tayuya, a woman like you should swear like that." He lectured in a calm tone.

Before the enrage kunoichi could say anything, Torune appeared from the shadows, ending any and all discussions in an instant. "You have received new orders Sound Three. . ." He stated with with a completely hollow and emotionless tone, while holding back what appeared to be clear distrust at the Oto shinobis. "You are to prepare for the recovery of the snake among the leaves." He then stated before melting into the shadows.

Tayuya then sighed with relief to that. "Final-fuckin'-ly! We can finally go get that brat now!" She swore out in a more relief filled tone.

"The one that Orochimaru-sama and the former Konoha elder trained personally." The six armed man stated in a calm tone.

"We will still have to test her." The larger man then reminded. "And Tayuya, I just said-" He soon began.

"SHUT THE HELL UP ASSWIPE!" Tayuya yelled back in annoyance and anger.

With that the three went to go get ready for their mission given to them by their master.


Elsewhere in the deepest and more secure area of Oto. . .

Orochimaru, Kabuto and Danzō had entered the top secret room that had many huge glowing tubes that were filled with green liquids.

"Inform us more in on the status of the project and what you refer to as an occurrence." Danzō ordered in a serious tone that wanted what he desired.

Kabuto simply smiled as he fixed his glasses. Then walked at the tube that was in the deepest part of the room as the other two followed closely. "This. . ." He began as he gently tapped the largest tube in the entire room. "Is the occurrence." He finished saying as his smirk never left.

This made the two renegade shinobis to raised an eyebrow as they got closed to the container to get a better look. Once they did all they saw was the flesh that Kabuto had obtained from Naruto.

"I don't see anything strange. . ." Orochimaru commented with a neutral tone as he was waiting what his right hand man meant by occurrence.

Danzō however got a closer look at what was in the tube. "Hmm?" He got out as he narrowed his only visible eye. "What is that?" He got out before the elderly man merely nodded to that. "Yes. . .this is the demon Uzumaki's flesh." He stated.

This caused Kabuto to smirk even more with amusement. "You can see it, can't you?" He asked with amusement as he turned towards the flesh. "The flesh that I obtain from Naruto-kun. . .it's changing. . ." He stated with as his eyes were filled with wonder and excitement.

Orochimaru's genius mind finally understood what his right hand man was implying. "It's mutating. . ." He calmly declared as he too had the same eyes as Kabuto.

Kabuto then adjusted his glasses once more with a smirk on his face. "Indeed, it is reacting to the combination of multiple DNA samples that were placed in as well as the contents of the container." He revealed. "Though it was possibly to be expected some unexpected side effects, with what the contents of the tube was mixed with." He then added.

Orochimaru merely chuckled to that. "There have been many things I have done in the past, but that was one of my greater successes." He admitted before he began coughing once more.

"Is the mixture of all of the DNA samples and that trigger such a mutation?" Danzō questioned with a narrow eye.

"It was an experiment," Kabuto then admitted. "This one however still needs one more DNA sample, it can be either flesh or blood, however it has to have some compatibility or this could fail if we force it." He soon added in a warning tone.

"Then why not just someone from here?" Danzō soon questioned.

Kabuto let out a sigh to that. "I had already made test with almost everyone in Oto, but none of them were successful and were just rejected." He replied with disappointment.

"Then it is just a matter of finding the right sample." Orochimaru stated in amusement. "What an interesting game this is turning out to be. . ." He then added before coughing some more.

Kabuto then looked over to the Snake Sannin. "Orochimaru-sama, let me escort you back to your room, you need to rest." He calmly stated.

The Sannin only chuckled weakly at that as his face was beginning to sweat. Then his right hand man/assistant escorted him out of the room.

"Pathetic. . ." Danzō meanwhile got out as he continued examining the tube of mutated Naruto flesh as it convulsed and then left the room.

Had the old war hawk or anyone else paid closer attention, they would have seen a single thread blond hair with a black end attached to the mutating flesh.


The next day. . .

Morning soon came in Konoha as the civilians and shinobis began to get do their work.

"Good morning." A villager cheerfully greeted another.

"Morning." The second replied with happy smiled.

"Well, I'm off on a mission, wish me luck!" A chunin shinobi called out as he rushed out his door.

"Good luck, and try to come back alive." Another chunin joked.

"Haha. . ." The first Chunin replied with a deadpan tone as he headed out.

This and such greetings were given to one another, however the most noticeable aspect was that them was the positive atmosphere as they chatter among each other, as if the village had become much more lively and active after everything that occurred, and now everyone wanting to help out.

"Aw dammit, time to get to fuckin' work now!' Another got out in a gruff tone.

"Don't swear you idiot! There's children around!" A female chided.

"Fuck you! I can swear if I fuckin' want to!" The gruff toned person roared back.

Well, most civilians as the drunken people had to get themselves up to get back to working. . .however, as everyone was too busy enjoying the calmness and peacefulness that no one in the village noticed the rainbow circling the sun.


In the Team Seven Residence. . .

Everyone in the new house were still in bed after a long and well needed rest as the sun shined on top of the future Uzumaki wives.

"Mmm. . ." A sleeping Uchiha got out in a bliss filled tone.

"Ahh. . ." A also sleeping Hyuga mumbled in happiness.

"ZZZ. . ." The still sleeping Uzumaki got out as he snored loudly.

No sooner was the snore heard, the eyes of one Satsuki Uchiha then began struggle as they slowly opened before she let out a cute yawn. "Morning~. . ." She sleeply got out as she then rubbed her eyes.

However, Satsuki was only greeted with silence as the other two were still sleeping peacefully.

Satsuki then giggled as she looked at the other two sleeping. "I love moments like these dattebakon." She sighed out in happiness as she then unintentionally went to scratch an itch at her rear.

The Uchiha's eyes then widen as she felt the lack of something before sighing. "I did it again dattebakon. . ." She muttered with a blush coming to her face.

Then the sound of cute yawning caught the Uchiha's attention and saw Hinata waking up. "Good morning. . ." She greeted as she cutely rubbed her eyes.

Satsuki was about to greet the Hyuga back only to stopped and let out an awkward giggle. "Good morning Nata-chan. . ." She greeted back. "I think your starting to grow a little more. . ." She then complemented.

Hinata blinked a few times as she then cutely tilted her head in confusion, though still a little sleepy. "Mmm?" She got out in confusion. "What do you mean Satsuki-chan?" She then asked in a slightly dazed tone.

"That your C is turning C+." The Uchiha soon answer with a proud tone. "Congratulations Nata-chan!" She then happily added.

"My. . .C?" Hinata got out with completely confusion with that fully waking her up. "What do you-" Was all she could got out a she felt a draft around her body and instantly figured why she did. "S-Satsuki-chan!" She meekly got out with a blush on her face to what the Uchiha was referring to.

Soon enough, both girls looked down and saw that both were once again victims of the Uchiha's sleep stripping, even though Satsuki was the one that did so herself.

". . ." Both girls said nothing as the two began to stare at one another's bodies, the two both having silky smooth skin as the sunlight shined off it.

For the Uchiha, she looked on at the Hyuga's dark night night blue hair that shined as it clashed with the girl's body, making her look dazzling. "Wow Nata-chan. . ." Satsuki soon got out in amazement. "I guess it's true what they say, girls really do become more beautiful when they're with the man they truly loved and in our case, our fiancé . . ." She admitted with a smile.

Hinata meanwhile looked at the jet black haired Uchiha as the girl's hair shined off the light, radiating the area around her with a warm and comforting feeling. "H-Hai. . .I believe that applies to you as well Satsuki-chan. . ." She agreed with a dumbfounded nod.

Satsuki couldn't help but giggle in amusement to that. "And all of this happen just because we love our blond fiancé." She giggled out. "It's funny how things can change. . ." She then added.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that. "Hai, so much has happened, it's sometimes hard to believe that it did happen dattebahi." She admitted in an honest tone.

However a loud yawn interrupted the conversation between the girls as they turn and saw the blond haired boy beginning to wake up.

Just then, Naruto yawned as he rubbed his eyes. "Man. . .that was a good sleep. . ." He got out as his eyes was still closed.

The two girls then couldn't help but smile at their fiancé. "Good morning Naruto/Naru-kun." Both girls got out.

"Morning Hinata-chan. . .Satsuki-chan. . ." Naruto replied in a sleepy matter. Then he sat up straight, not even knowing the situation the two girls were in at the moment when. . .

Smush! Smush!

Both girls eyes and mouth widen in surprised as they were so shocked to even let out a sound.

"Mmm?" Naruto got out as he felt his face hitting something very soft. "Wha. . .?" He then got out as he stretched both hands to feel what his face was touching.

Squish! Squish!

Instantly, Naruto heard the all too familiar sounds of girls moaning in pleasure as he eyes widen at realizing now what had happened. "Oh god kami. . ." He mumbled out from where his head was.

"N-Naruto-kun. . ." Hinata meekly got out with a red blushing face, unable to say thing else.

"A-As much as I really like your touch. . ." Satsuki said in flirtatiously tone. "I think it's a bit to early to do that, especially when Yami-can can possibly hear us." She added with a giggle.

Naruto's head was soon completely red as he quickly jerked it back from the girl's breasts, but now getting his eyes filled with the images of the two naked girls. "Good kami both of you are beautiful. . ." He then barely got out without really thinking it.

The two then blushed at the compliments given to them as they didn't even try to cover themselves up. "T-Thank you Naruto/Naru-kun." The two got out in meek unison.

This caused Naruto to realize what he just said and was about to say something when he and the girls heard the sounds of grunts on the backyard. "Is someone training?" He then got out.

"Eh?" Satsuki questioned in confusion.

Hinata then activated her Byakugan to see who it was as her eyes widened. "Oh, it's Yami-chan." She revealed.

Satsuki then blinked a couple of times. "Huh, I guess she's an early morning person." She stated.

"Must be the whole samurai thing." Naruto simply got out with a nod. "Let's just take a bath and then have some breakfast." He then suggested.

"Sure/Alright." The two future Uzumaki wife's replied in unision.

Then the trio got out of bed and went to prepare for the day themselves. . .however, two of them were unaware of the sly grin that one of them had as that person had special plans for their bath time now that Yami was busy doing her morning exercises.


Three hours earlier that morning. . .

Though there was some light, the sun still didn't even fully shown itself as it was still dark and the stars were still filled the sky.

"Mmm. . ." The silver haired girl moaned slightly as her eyes began to open. She blinked a few times as she quickly sat up and looked at the still dark sky. "Morning. . .huh?" She got out in slight exhaustion as she stretched her sleepiness off. Then Yami went and made her bed before going to the bathroom near her new room to prepared her early morning preparations.

The silver haired girl had always been an early morning person as she always trained before the sun fully ascend as well as helping the Snow Resistance with guard duty when she got older. And even after she had forced to join Dotō, she kept this routine to further train herself in the Kenjutsu her stepfather had taught her.

"Warm. . ." Yami thought as she then splashed her face with some water to fully wake herself up and then dry herself with a towel.

After finishing cleaning her face, she went back to her room as she then changed into some basic training clothes, some chest bindings, a white t-shirt and a black sweat pants. "Alright. . .time to train. . ." She then told herself as she exited her room, grabbing her katana that was laying against the wall.

As the kunoichi/samurai was walking towards the backyard training ground, Yami's thoughts were filled with multiple things, starting from her beginnings. "Mother. . .Father. . ." She thought to herself as the memories of her birth parents and the happiness she had with them made her shed a tear.

Then Yami thought her meeting with her stepfather, which made her smile happily. She would always would always laugh at the annoyed expression of Ryo's face whenever she called him her dad. But then quickly sadden when she had to think of her losing him as well. "Ryo-otousan. . ." She soon mumbled in sadness.

Her face turned into fury and hatred when she had to think of the time she had to be with those responsible for her suffering. The self hatred she had to endured at following their orders and killing some of the resistance members out of keeping her cover. ". . ." Her tears only continued to fall at the thought, even if they were very few members, as they were expert in hiding themselves, it still tore her heart at killing even one of them.

Yami's face was soon hollow and devoid of any emotions as her self hatred of those actions had made the girl truly hated herself, even if it was to avenge her fallen family and comrades, it still made her think her own life was meaningless and not worth staying alive after taking her revenge.

But then as those dark thoughts were filling her very soul, her memories finally reached the conclusion. The meeting with her new friends. . .her heroes that had helped her not only take her revenge, but also freed her once ruin homeland from the tyrant.

Yami finally reached her destination, just in time for the first light of the sun to hit her face as a truly beautiful smile graced her face. "Warm. . ." She then repeated her previous words once more as her thoughts then drifted back once more to the Team Seven members. "Hinata-san. . .Naruto-sensei. . .Satsuki-san. . ." She soon muttered as she imagined them smiling at her.

Then Yami unsheathed her katana and got into a stance, ready to train. "I can really live now. . ." She then stated with a smile on her face. "Thank you. . ." She concluded as she then started her morning training, but only this time with much more vigor than ever before.


Back in the present. . .

Yami had just finished her early training exercises and was now heading back inside the house. Once she did she saw that her new friend's/house owners were in the kitchen. "Oh, good morning. . ." The kunoichi/samurai greeted in a polite tone.

"Yo! Morning Yami-chan!" Naruto cheerfully replied.

"Good morning." Hinata politely greeted.

Satsuki then grinned as she looked at the other girl. "Hey Yami-chan! So your an early bird, huh?" She asked with a wide smile on her face.

"Yes, it is one of the things me and Ryo like to do in the morning, basic kenjutsu practices." Yami replied.

"It's always good to get some training in. . ." Hinata started in agreement as she then sniffed the air. "Though I think you really worked up a sweat." She then admitted with a giggle.

Yami blinked at that as she looked at herself and indeed she was dripping with sweat, making her blush slightly at the discovery. "I-I apologize for that. . ." She meekly got out in embarrassment. "I-I'll go wash up." She stated with an embarrassed tone as she left to go take a bath.

The trio couldn't help but chuckle and giggle at the retreating girl. "Well, at least she makes things interesting dattebayo." Naruto joked as he chuckled with a fox like grin.

"Hai." Hinata agreed with a nod.

"Got that right dattebakon." Satsuki commented with a giggle of her own. "Having her around is gonna be as much fun as our bath times Na-ru-kun, Na-ta-chan~" She then slyly and flirty added with a grin.

These made the two remembered what they did in said bathroom and blush darkly at their fun time.

"You know you liked it~" Satsuki then teased with another giggle at their reactions.

Their only response was to avoid the look of the cat like expression on the Uchiha's face.


Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower. . .

CRASH!

The shattered sound of a bottle echoed through the tower as a very annoyed Tsunade was clenching her fist that was dripping with alcohol in her bedroom.

"Tsunade-sama! Why did you just crush your sake bottle!?" Shizune exclaimed in shock.

Tsunade meanwhile held the top of another alcohol bottle as she prepared to drink out of it. "I had the feeling that the Kushina incarnated Uchiha is doing something inappropriate to my godson. . ." She deadpanned her answer as she then starting drinking.


Back at Team Seven residences. . .

The owners of the new home had waited for Yami to finished her bath as they all decided to eat breakfast together and enjoy each others company.

Satsuki suddenly felt a shiver running down her spine as she was getting more food ready. "Weird. . ." She offhandedly thought.

Yami meanwhile was digging into her food like it was no tomorrow and showing even more personality. "Mmm, so good. The flavors are very colorful and mix very well, it's really tasty!" She got out as she ate and enjoyed the food. "I've never had food this good before!" She then added in happiness.

"You can thanked Nata-chan for that!" Satsuki declared loudly. "I may had helped a little, but she practically did the whole thing!" She added.

Naruto meanwhile grinned as he also ate his food. "Hell yeah! She's like a natural born chef!" He praised. "I can't even imagine what would I do if you could make ramen this good too! She would make the Ichimaru's lose their favorite customer too!" He added with a joking tone.

Yami soon swallowed another piece of food as she looked at the Hyuga before coughing into her fist to calm herself down. "I'm very impressed by this display of culinary art at such a young age Hinata-san." She complement in a calm tone.

Hinata however couldn't help but blushed at all fo the praises as she helped the Uchiha cook. "Why thank you Naruto-kun, Yami-chan, I'm glad that you like it dattebahi." She happily replied.

"By the way," Naruto then started, gaining everyone's attention. "What's the plans for today?" He then asked.

"Hmm. . .I'm not sure, we do have the day free." Hinata stated with a wondering tone.

Satsuki's eyes widen at hearing this. "Oh! That's right!" She got out, gaining the others attention. "Yesterday, Tenten-chan told me that Team Gai is coming to visit." She told them. "And well I also gotta go see Tenten-chan about my shield, but I can just sent a clone." She then added.

Naruto nodded in response to that. "Yeah, not to mention that my clones told all of our friends to come and see our new home and also introduce Yami-chan to them as well as our adventures at Snow." He stated with excitement.

"Not to mention registering them to the the gate as well." Hinata added her piece with a gentle smile.

Satsuki also smiled at the thought of her friends visiting them before her eyes widen as she remembers something else. "Oh yeah. . .I gotta do that. . ." She thought to herself, blocking the other Team Seven members from hearing her thoughts as she then silently giggled at what she had planned.

Then as everyone was picking and cleaning their plates, Satsuki secretly made two Shadow Clone as it knew what the original had plan and the other to visit Tenten. "Get to it." She whispered her orders.

"Yes ma'am." The clones replied.

With this response, the clones quickly and quietly went on to carry out their orders as Satsuki cheerfully chatted with the others before they began to get ready.


At the former Mitarashi Residence. . .

The room was completely in shambles as many things and objects were spread all over the place or simply broken/shattered in pieces as if a twister went through the room. However the most noticeable object was that the legs of the bed were broken.

Kurama in his human transformation stirred as his eyes struggled to open. "Daaaaaamn. . . " He thought in satisfaction as a massive perverted grin plastered on his face.

"Mmmm~" A feminine voice got out in a seductive tone. "So much energy~" She then added in a more lustful tone.

Kurama's smirk then widen as his head rubbed the back of his partner in a tender matter. "So, how was it my love?" He questioned, but already knew the answer.

The female soon revealed herself to be Anko, but her hair was completely wild and messy, but was also naked and only a slightly torn blanket covered her modesty. "Bliss. . ." She answered with a lust filled grin. "Pure bliss~" She answered again in the seductive tone.

Kurama's smirk didn't leave as he then pecked the woman on the lips. "I do aim to please." He admitted. "And I like to make sure it's wild." He then added with a small amount of pride in his tone.

Anko only smirked back as she licked her lips. "Well even a girl like me likes it wild sometimes." She declared as she then snaked her arms around her partner's neck. "And strangely enough, I can still go at it even now." She admitted with a lust filled tone.

Kurama chuckle pervertly at that as he was very tempted to take on that offer given, but he then stopped the advances toward him. "I think we had enough for now my love, I mean, don't get me wrong, we can go for another twelve hours, but I really don't want what we have to only be about sex." He then stated with a surprisingly kind tone.

Anko soon smiled with happiness as she was glad that the one she loved was thinking of her them more than just her body, knowing that most would just think of her for her body only. "What about making out in the shower then?" She soon asked with a calm and caring tone.

"Oh fuck yeah, we can still do that." Kurama immediately replied with a smirk.

Then Anko grinned mischievously. "That great, because you also got to gather the rest of my unbroken stuff back to the new place." She happily replied.

To that request, Kurama sweatdropped. "I knew there was a catch somewhere. . ." He thought to himself with a chuckle.

The transform Bijū then picked up the purple haired beauty bridal style as the woman placed her arms around his neck before they headed to the bathroom.


On another part of Konoha. . .

A young girl let out a very loud yawn as she had only just recently got out of bed from nearly being up all night. The girl was none other than the young Weapon Mistress Tenten Higurashi. "Jeez. . .so much planning. . ." She muttered in confidence as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

Then Tenten looked at the designs and smiled tiredly. "But I think I finally got something good here. . ." She declared to herself as she felt pride in all of effort.

The girl then stretched her arm as she heard some bones cracking at the action. "Well, I better get ready, even if I just finish the plans, I still need to actually begin making it." Tenten decided. "But still, Satsuki-chan's gonna love this new shield I'll cook up for her." She added with a grin on her face.

Just then, multiple and loud knocking was heard from the front door to house that was also the blacksmith. "Morning Tenten-chan!" A female and chipper voice greeted from outside.

In response to that, Tenten's face nearly face faulted. "And speak of the devil. . ." She muttered with a small giggle as she then headed towards the front door.

"Honey," Tenten's father called out. "Your Uchiha friend is here, you should greet her before she breaks the door." He then added in a joking tone.

Tenten sweatdropped at the comment as she made it to the front door. "Hai!" She called back. "At least I can tell her about what I got planned for the shield." She then thought in satisfaction.

The young girl finally reached the front of the shop and open the door, there was none other than Satsuki Uchiha. "Yo! Morning Tenten-chan!" She greeted cheerfully.

Tenten merely yawned loudly in response to that. "You too, your pretty early Satsuki-chan." She replied.

Satsuki only raised an eyebrow at that. "Early? It's already past nine." She clarified.

However the older girl only looked at her with her bloodshot eyes. "Well it is early for someone that went to sleep at four in the morning. . ." She then revealed.

The Uchiha only blinked at that. "Damn. . .what the heck were you doing all night? Another night session with Gai-sensei?" She asked, but before Tenten could reply, the Uchiha's face turn into a mischievous one. "Or did you spent all the night. . .with a boy?" She asked still grinning widely.

Tenten's face was now fully awake and was blushing at that. "If she had, I would've killed that boy!" Tenten's father declared in a furious tone from within the house.

Tenten's eye twitched at what her father declared. "No. . .I haven't." She declared while still blushing. "Because if I had, which I didn't, I wouldn't be here. . .at my home. . ." She added.

However Satsuki's face still didn't stopped grinning. "That doesn't mean that boy didn't sneak into. . .your room." She teased.

"WHAT!?" Tenten exclaimed with her jaw dropping at the accusation.

"YOUNG LADY!" Tenten's father roared out as he was now armed with many deadly looking weapons. "IS THIS TRUE!?" He then questioned. "I'LL MURDER THAT BOY THAT DARED DEFILE YOU! ESPECIALLY IN MY OWN HOUSE!" He then declared.

"NO!" Tenten once more exclaimed. "NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED DAD!" She reassured with her arms flailing wildly.

Meanwhile as this father and daughter discussion was happening, Satsuki was laughing in an unladylike manner. "Oh my kami that was so funny dattebakon!" She declared while having trouble breathing.

Tenten and her father then glared at the giggled Uchiha. "Your lucky we're friends or I might've tried to kill you for that Satsuki-chan. . ." Tenten then admitted.

Satsuki meanwhile kept giggled to their glares, completely unfazed by them. "Wouldn't matter me, I'm just a shadow clone the boss made to check out how your doing with my shield." The shadow clone then explained with a big grin on its face.

This made Tenten gather every ounce of her sanity not to stab the clone with something sharp. "Again, that really wasn't funny Satsuki-chan. . ." She deadpanned her reply in a serious tone.

"And I meant what I said about the boy situation." Her father declared once more in a calm tone with his arms crossed over his chest.

C. Satsuki's giggles then began to die down as she looked at the blacksmith and his daughter. "Sorry sorry, I just couldn't help myself." She admitted. "Well the truth is that my original self wanted to ask about how the shield is going, you did say that you would do something. And I know that there's no way that it can be finish in just a night, but I still had to asked before you come to our home later." She then explained.

Tenten nodded to that and offered the clone in. "Well I really don't have much yet, but I do got the possible design I drew up." She then revealed.

"Really!? Awesome! Can I see it!?" C. Satsuki shouted excitedly in a very Naruto like manner.

The older girl couldn't help but giggle at that. "Sure. Let me get the designs." Tenten replied as she stood up and headed towards the back of the workshop where her and her dad planned, craft and invent their weapons.

A few moments later, Tenten returned with a scroll on hand. "I'm back." She stated as she sat down again and stretched her hand with the scroll at the clone of the Uchiha. "Here, have a look. I think you'll really like it!" She told her with a wide and prideful smile on her face.

C. Satsuki blinked a couple of times as she then opened the scroll. "Hmm. . ." She began as she looked carefully at the designs, before her eyes widen. "AWESOME! THIS LOOKS AMAZING!" She then exclaimed in excitement and jumped up and down in a giddy matter.

Tenten giggled at that reaction as she was glad that the all nighter really helped out. Then she remembered another thing that she forgot to add to the plans, making her smirk. "Also I forgot to put it there. . .but I had an idea to give the shield has a really cool. . .let's just called it an ability for it to have." She vaguely declared.

Then faster lighting, C. Satsuki's face turned at neck breaking speeds with eyes widen as she then looked at the blacksmith's daughter. "What is it!? You gotta tell me datebakon!" She then asked and begged in an excited and anticipated tone.

"Well. . .you'll just have to wait and see." Tenten simply replied.

C. Satsuki's mental glass then shattered at learning that she had to wait. "Noooooo!" She exclaimed with her hands in the air. "Why are you so cruel!?" She added in an overly exaggerated tone.

"Because. . .that's my payback for that boy comment. . ." Tenten answered as she gave off a witty smile.

C. Satsuki's instant reaction to that answer was her dropping to the floor on her hands and knees with a depressed aura coating her. "Dammit dattebakon. . ." She mumbled out. "Well anyways, that's all the real me wanted to asked you." She then added.

Tenten nodded in response to that. "Alright, just remember that me and my team will be going to your new place a bit later, ok?" She reminded with a smile.

The clone smiled as she nodded happily. "Yup! Haven't forgotten, see you later!" C. Satsuki declared as she dispelled itself, leaving a poof of smoke in her place.

Once the smoke had dispersed, Tenten stood up as she then took out another scroll and had a much more complex equations and designs, if it was place on top of the shield design that she showed the clone, it would show the complete design of the new shield. This made the young weapon mistress grin widely as she was going to used everything she had learn from her father's advance forging techniques while she looked at the title having the initials of C.S.


At the Team Seven and Viper Squad residence. . .

After the trio and Yami had finally eaten, the four decided to train a bit to keep in shape. Naruto and Yami were focusing on their kenjutsu while the blond made a few Shadow Clones to practice some of his regular jutsus.

The two young kenjutsu users clashed their respective blades against each other as they locked in place. "Man your good dattebayo!" Naruto praised with excitement.

Even if the blond was stronger and had a much larger blade than Yami's, the silver/blue haired girl used her incredible skills to keep the blond at bay, though she was showing signs of struggling against the strength difference. "Thank you sensei, I had trained myself to prepare myself to kill Dotō." She reminded. "Now I have my new duty as a Konoha shinobi." She then added with a sense of pride.

Hinata was practicing her Gentle Kicks, working on perfecting them against multiple Shadow Clones as she delivered a roundhouse kick at them, then once she had enough space between her and the clones, she quickly making some hand signs. "Ninja Art! Hell Viewing Jutsu!"She silently declared as she used it on her clones.

The clones immediately stopped in their tracks as pale expressions appeared on their faces.

Not one to miss this opportunity, Hinata rushed in and started kicking each individual clone, causing them to disperse in their trance like state. However now sooner she did so the original received the memories of the clones and was now her turn to pale in horror. "Oh kami. . ." Shen mumbled out in a fear filled tone. "Note to self. . .Never cast the jutsu on a shadow clone dattebahi. . ." She thought with horror.

As all of this was going on, Satsuki was also training with a clone to work on her taijutsu combined with her sword style as well, the clone also having the identical blade as the real and clone clashed with one another.

The real Satsuki then giggled as she noticed the slightly paled expression on the Hyuga. "Looks like Nata-chan just experienced the genjutsu she cast on her clones." She got out.

"Eyes forward." The clone of the Uchiha meanwhile chided in a serious tone. "Your getting yourself too distracted." She then advised.

"Oh come on me, this is just practice." The real Satsuki then reminded with a playful grin.

Then the clone when for a slash at the originals head. "Your wide open." The clone soon chided once more in a calm tone as she unleashed her slash.

The real Satsuki's eyes widened in shock as she narrowly dodge the blade. Then she realized that the blade manage to cut her cheek with some blood running down her face. "Oh! You did not cut me like that!" She roared with fury as her hair raised upwards and charge in blind fury at the clone.

The clone then sighed at this reaction as she also charged in. "Honestly real me. . ." She got out.

After the group had finished their training, they decided to relax in the sunlight. Satsuki was simply enjoy the morning before as her eyes suddenly widen for a moment and remain completely still while her brain was processing new information.

Soon after the information was sorted out, she relaxed herself once more with a smile on her face. "Nice! Tenten-chan's gonna be here soon with her team." She then revealed.

The rest of the group turn at hearing this. "Awesome, now we just got to wait for the others so we can get them registered." Naruto responded with a grin on his face.

Hinata nodded in agreement to this. "Yes, it will be good to have our friends registered." She stated. "So how long-" She was about to asked when. . .

Knock! Knock! Knock!

This made the four then blink to this as they looked in the direction of the gate. "Well, that was fast." Naruto stated with slight amazement.

"Hai. . ." Both the Hyuga and Uchiha got out in agreement. "And how can we still hear it?" They then asked in unison.

"It is weird to say the least." Yami then admitted.

With those thoughts said, they decided to welcome their friends. Once they reached the gate, the huge door's seal glowed and open. When they fully opened the trio's eyes slightly widen when they saw that it wasn't just Team Gai, it was all of the rookies Chunins arriving at the same time, while all had startled expressions upon seeing the huge Gates opening by themselves.

"Whoa, all of you are here dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed.

"And what's with those faces dattebakon?" Satsuki added with a confused tone.

Kiba then looked at their reactions with a expression of disbelief on his face. "Well what the hell were you expecting when we see this kind of thing open by itself with this epic house you guys got." He got out with Akamaru barking in agreement.

"Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru grumbled out. "You three being in a house like this together is gonna cause Tsunade-sama's hair to go gray. . ." He then added.

At this comment, this made trio, Yami and the ones that were still startled to began chuckled and giggling at the very accurate and possible future.

"This is indeed a most youthful establishment! I can already feel the hard work that was placed into this building as it was being constructed!" Lee exclaimed with a fire in his eyes.

Kin, in her own light gray jumpsuit, meanwhile giggled at the green jumpsuit wearing shinobi. "This does seem to be a nice place." She agreed.

Neji, in his regular outfit, meanwhile sighed to that display of excitement, but was very impressed by the new house. But he also knew that his clan leader was a man that wouldn't do anything half done. Then he turned towards the blond as he look at him with a glare. "You better have been treating Hinata-sama properly since she's living here." He warned.

Naruto flinched at the glare and only sweat dropped at that.

This made Tenten sigh to the display as she was in her regular outfit as well. "Really? That's how you react to them living in a new place? You know Naruto-chan wouldn't pull anything like that." She reminded as her eyes wandered to the Uchiha. "Satsuki-chan on the other hand. . ." She began before trailing off.

Said Uchiha meanwhile was whistling innocently to that. "What?" She then asked in an innocent tone.

"Man, I can't believe Tsunade-sama got you guys something like this for a new place!" Ino then got out.

"You got that right. I bet you got a big kitchen too." Chōji agreed with eating his chips.

"It is indeed impressive." Shino meanwhile agreed.

"Uh huh. . ." Fū also agreed with a nod of her head.

Then a mass of red chakra came of of the mint green haired girl's stomach as the Bijū changed into his childish human shape. "Wow! This is a big place!" Chōmei got out in an amazed tone as he had a hand on top of his eyes while looking at said house.

"But aren't you bigger than the house?" Naruto then asked.

"Meh. . .Details, details." Chōmei merely responded while waving his hand. "So where's Kurama-niisan?" He then asked.

"Out with Anko-sensei." Hinata reply while looking away, blushing all the while.

That instantly made everyone knew what that meant and also blushed. "Ok." Chōmei simply replied unfazed while grinning widely as he was used to his eldest brother's antics.

Naruto then rubbed the back of his head. "Well anyway, guys! We want to welcome our new friend we meet in Snow." He began as the Uchiha gently pushed the slightly startled silver/blue haired girl.

Yami soon felt awkward being on the center of attention. "H-Hello. . ." She meekly got out. "My name is Yami Tsuki. . .I have recently joined Konoha as one of it's newest shinobis." She explained.

This got mixed reactions from everyone present, the girls looked at her as they were marveled by the girl's beautiful hair, while the guys only look on while wondering why the girl join Konoha.

"Damn! You brought a hot girl to Konoha!" Kiba exclaimed while giving an exciting tone and a thumbs up.

Yami's eye then twitched to the remark given to her. As her expressions turn back to being expressionless. "Ecchi. . ." She mumbled out in an emotionless tone.

To that statement, Kiba felt as he was pierced through the chest and fell to the ground with all his life escaping him.

All around them that didn't know Yami were shocked and impressed at the way Yami instantly put Kiba in his place.

Satsuki then giggled to the reactions, expecting them to react this way. "That's the power of Yami-chan's instant pervert killer word folks." She joked.

Lee then got in front of the front of the kunoichi/samurai with an ecstatic expression as he shook the said girls hands with his normal overexcitement self. "IT IS INDEED NICE TO MEET YOU! I AM KNOWN AS THE GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA KNOWN AS ROCK LEE!" He exclaimed his introduction.

Yami could only blinked at this, but felt no disgust as she could instantly feel that the boy was just like that as she nodded to him. "Hai, it is nice to meet you too Lee-san." She replied in a calm and kind tone.

Kin on the other hand slightly narrow her eyes as she had something go through her body as she watched the interactions between the two.

Ino meanwhile noticed the expression change from the former Sound Shinobi as she had a massive shit eating grin to this. "Jealous~" She sang sung in the girl's ear.

Said girl nearly jumped out her skin upon hearing this. "I-I have no idea what your talking about Ino!" She harshly whispered back.

The platinum blonde girl only continued grinning, not buying it for a second. "Sure~ you do." Ino soon reply.

Shikamaru meanwhile sighed to what his female teammate was doing. "Girls. . ." He muttered. "How about you guys actually tell use how you meet?" He then asked with a lazy tone that would make Kakashi feel proud.

Hinata then giggled to that. "It's a long story everyone." She began as she looked at the gate. "How about we first have you all register with the gate so you can freely enter our home?" She then offered.

"Register?" All of the rookie Chunin asked in confusion.

The trio and Yami chuckled and giggled at this as they let their friends in as to not only register them in the Gate's seals, but also tell them about their adventure in Snow.


Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower. . .

Tsunade was groaning in exhaustion as she just arrived to her office. "Tired. . ." She got out in a sluggish tone as she noticed the stack of papers. "Shiiiiit. . ." She soon swore at the sight of the paperwork.

Shizune then arrived right behind the blonde leader. "Good morning Tsunade-sama." She chirped out happily. "Are you ready for today's work?" She then asked in an obvious tone.

Tsunade merely groaned to that in response. "You mean another long ass day of nothing but signing and reading paperwork. . .no." She bluntly replied with a very annoyed tone.

Shizune meanwhile giggled to the response. "Well, at least it keeps you busy since you are the Hokage now, you don't go gambling anymore." She then reminded much to her mentor's annoyance. "I still have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving for a few minutes." She told her mentor.

"Yeah. . .yeah. . ." Tsunade replied as she began signing and stamping the mountain size paperwork on her desk.

Her assistant nodded as she headed to the door, but before she left she turn around. "Please make sure you finish the most you can, that way you can have some free time, before you had to finish the rest." She stated.

Tsunade only wave her hand in confirmation as she continue to work on her paperwork. Shizune nodded and went off to finish her unfinished business. However the moment the blonde Hokage heard the door close as wide smile appeared on her face.

"Finally! I thought she never leave!" Tsunade shouted in relief as she knew that once her assistant/student was with her, it was very difficult to do what she wanted to to in this case. . .

The Hokage then happily open one of the compartments of her chair and happily took out a bottle of very expensive and old aged sake with glee. "The best alcohol I have. . .the only batch that I saved for just such an occasion that I have kept as a secret from Shizune since buying it." She got out in a giddy tone.

Then, as she then went to open the bottle. . .

BOOM! SPLASH!

A massive explosion suddenly went off but covered only the area around the desk. ". . ." Tsunade meanwhile was left there motionless in her chair as she held her bottle while her entire body was covered in light blue paint.

Tsunade then spit some of the paint that got into her mouth out. "Paint. . ." She got out with an emotionless tone. "I don't even need to wonder who it was. . ." She then stated as the image of a certain long black haired girl appeared in her mind. "Kushina. . .you definately been reincarnated. . .this is something you would do. . ." She then stated.

The older woman wasn't really mad as she knew that the Uchiha would seek revenge with the little stunt she did by recommending Anko and Yami to live in the trio's new house."Though I thought she would go with something much worse than just a paint job." Tsunade thought to herself. Then not really caring, she shrugged her shoulders. "I'll just punish her later. . ." She offhandedly said as she looked at the sake in a desire filled tone.

Then the Hokage uncorked her sake as she really needed a drink now. With a loud popping sound, Tsunade didn't even bothered to grab a small cup as she when and had a big gulp straight from the bottle.

Big. . .Mistake. . .

After a moment from drinking, Tsunade let out a loud and satisfied filled gasp from drinking her expensive and well age sake. "That's the stuff. . ." She let out in bliss.

However just as said does words, loud rumbling sounds began to erupt from her stomach. "Eh?" The Hokage got out in from hearing the noise. "UUUUUGH!" She groaned out as she let out as massive pains began to appeared from her stomach while holding it. "WHAT!?" She squealed out in pain and confusion.

Then as Tsunade was thinking of what could had happen, she heard the sound of a paper falling from above her head.

A piece of paper suddenly drifted down from the ceiling and landed on Hokage's desk. The still pained filled woman weakly and painfully when and picked up the paper and began to read its content.

Hiya Obaa-chan! How was the gifts I left you? I have to say thanks for our new home, but I also have to say that you suck for the attempt of making it so me and Nata-chan can't have our fun time with Naru-kun. So you know what they say. . .payback is a bitch. . .enjoy the alcohol, I put a little something special in it just for you. Signed, one of the future wives of the next Hokage, Satsuki Uchiha Uzumaki.

Being the legendary medical kunoichi that Tsunade was, she instantly knew what that something special was. . .

". . .Laxatives. . ." Tsunade got out as she body began shivering in anger while holding her stomach in pain. "Uuuugh. . ." She groaned out as her head then became red with embarrassment. "Instant. . .laxatives. . ." She quickly corrected herself.

A moment then passed as nothing seemed to happen in the Hokage Tower. . .however. . .

"UCHIHA! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Tsunade suddenly screamed for the entire village to hear. "UUUUUUGH!" She then loudly groaned out in pain.

What the Senju didn't know was that just outside of the tower, a clone of said Uchiha was laughing her ass off before she dispersed herself leaving only a cloud of smoke behind.


Back at the Team Seven and Viper Squad residence.. .

The echos of the Hokage's declaration was heard as Team Seven just finished the explanation of what they went through in the Land of Snow and meeting the kunoichi samurai.

Satsuki meanwhile was forced to hold most of her laughter back as she received her clones memories of the prank success. The rest only decided to ignore that and looked back at Yami.

"Damn, you went through a lot." Kiba voiced out the opinions of everyone that didn't know as he tried to contain his anger at what Dotō had done.

"I'll say." Ino nodded in agreement as like the Inuzuka, she too was holding her anger.

"It must've been troublesome with what you went through. . ." Shikamaru then remarked while rubbing the back of his head.

"That is human greed for you, evil in all sorts of ways. . ." Shino stated in a calm tone.

"Yeah. . ." Was all Fū could say and like Naruto, she too knew that better than anyone. Then the mint green haired girl looked at the Aburame and tell that unlike his normal calm tone, she knew that he was in fact furious on the inside.

"What you went through really must've sucked." Chōji admitted.

"Indeed, what that man has done to someone as youthful as Yami-san and to an entire nation of youthful citizens was completely unforgivable!" Lee declared with a fire in his eyes.

Kin also agreed to this with a nod of her head. "Never thought that I meet someone like me." She admitted.

"Though I won't shout like Lee, I too find that quite disgraceful. However I am glad that you managed to put an end to yours and Snow's suffering." Neji stated with a calm tone.

"Got that right." Tenten also agreed with a nod. "Though I gotta admit, despite their horrible thing they had done which are still unforgivable. I really find it incredible some of the technology they had must've been really impressive. Not just that chakra armor but all of the other stuff in general." She then added with an excited tone as she wondered what she would learn if she had a first look of this advance technologies and mix it with her advance forging techniques.

Yami however sighed to that excitement. "Some of it was. . .but a decent amount of it was used for desired filled and evil purposes." She got out.

"It's just like our shinobi skills. . ." Shikamaru stated, gaining everyone's attention.

Yami then tilted her head to that. "What do you mean by that Shikamaru-san?" She then questioned.

This made the lazy chunin sigh as he now had to explain what he meant to everyone. "What I mean is, be it taijutsu, ninjutsu or genjutsu, technology can be used as a tool for either good or evil. . .it all depends on the one using it." Shikamaru declared.

Shino nodded in agreement to that. "He is correct about this. Our own good and can be another's evil." He stated.

Everyone then was soon deep in thought to the statement given to what the Nara heir explained.

"I guess that is true. . ." Satsuki admitted while rubbing the back of her head before taking out a scroll and opening it.

Ino however noticed the action the Uchiha was doing and raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" She asked when she saw what her friend was doing.

To this question, Satsuki simply unsealed the containment that it had.

This made Naruto, Hinata and Yami eyes widen as they instantly knew what the object was. "That's!" Yami got out with a stuttering tone.

The rest that didn't know looked at the object with a confused expressions. "A gemstone?" Kiba yet again voiced everyone's thoughts.

While true in a sense what Satsuki had in her hands was a shiny crystal like stone, the same one that Dotō and the Snow shinobi had on their person.

"A chakra armor powercore." Hinata revealed to the rest of the rookie chunins.

"How did you get that Satsuki-chan!? I thought you used it when you threw it at Dotō!" Naruto asked with a shocked tone.

"Eh!? This is what Dotō and his shinobis had!?" Tenten shouted with shock and excitement as she examined at the gem like core with a drooling mouth.

Satsuki only sweatdropped at that as she saw that reaction coming. "Well Naru-kun, we did fight two of those shinobis, I took both and used one to give us the opening we needed." She answered her fiancé's question.

"Oh, Ok then." Naruto simply replied, not finding that strange in the least, making most of the others sweatdrop at his reply.

Then the Uchiha turned her head to the former Snow kunoichi/samurai. "I hope you don't mind, but I went and took a core piece of those assholes chakra armor, I thought it would be nice for Tenten-chan could study it since she's a blacksmith." She explained.

". . ." Yami said nothing as she stared at the gem like stone with an emotionless tone.

Tenten on the other hand was looking at this with a whimpering face as she so desperately wanted to get her hand on the gem. "Oh! Please! Oh! Please! Oh! Please!" She pleading at every kami in her mind that the silver/blue haired girl would be ok with this.

This made those that saw this this display from the blacksmith kunoichi sweatdrop at the sight.

Yami meanwhile still looked at the gemstone with slightly narrow eyes. "Well. . ." She began as thoughts of all her negative experiences with the chakra armor filled her mind, this made the girl tighten her fist as she wanted to break the gem to pieces before it could be used for evil purposes.

Then Yami finally calmed down went she realized that the powercore wasn't going to be given to a power hungry madman. She took a deep breath and turn towards both Satsuki and Tenten. "Well. . .only if you can promise me that you will never use it for evil intentions. . ." She finally replied with a calm yet completely serious tonetone.

When Tenten saw the serious in the girl as she also calmed herself down as she knew what this meant for the girl. "Of course, I have no intentions of evil purposes, that Orochimaru and Danzō's work." She responded in her own serious tone.

Yami looked at the blacksmith kunoichi for a few moments before she nodded. "Very well, if you can use this to protect yourself, your teammates and your friends. . .then I'm alright with it." She declared.

This made Tenten eyes and face widened with glee. "Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!." She repeated as she hugged the girl with glee.

Said girl meanwhile blushed at the interaction. "T-Thank you Tenten-san." Yami got out in an embarrassed tone.

This made everyone them look at the girls with a chuckle and giggle, but before anything else could be said as they watched the interaction between the two girl. . .

"Marvelous! This has indeed brought now the birth of a new and youthful friendship!" Lee declared with passion with tears running down his eyes. "I propose we now have some sparring matches to see how far we have come as of now!" He then suddenly suggested.

Everyone looked at the green jumpsuit wearing shinobi with confusion, but before they could say anything. "That's a great idea dattebayo!" Naruto shouted with excitement.

Hinata nodded in agreement to that as a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Yes, I would like to see how everyone has improved since we last got together like this." She admitted.

"Hell yeah we can even try out our new personal training ground dattebakon!" Satsuki cheered with a grin on her face.

The rest soon smiled or grinned as they too found the idea very appealing.


JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: How's it going everyone! JG here with F2P for the newest chapter of Uchiha Heiress Remix!

F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Hey all fateful readers! It's been a while!

JG: First off, we would like to apologize this time for the longer wait to finish up this chapter.

F2P: Yeah sorry, the two of us had been really busy with both our things in our personal life and the free time that we had we work on this and the remastered chapters.

JG: Got that right, it can be a pretty tough schedule with doing three remastered chapters, then the next new chapter. . .but let me just tell you, things are gonna be heating up for this story's Team Seven and the rest of the Konoha group.

F2P: For you that think that this was a friendly and happy chapter, that it's about Yami settling in her new home and meetings friend? Well. . .your wrong. This is the calm before the storm kind of thing. And trust us. . .the storm will be intense! :D

JG: Hell yeah it will, I hope that you liked how Yami was introduced to the others in Konoha, but remember this, where there is light, there is darkness. . .and this darkness is a vile one. If you had to compare it to canon Sasuke. . .this would be ten times worse. . .

F2P: And this darkness WILL heavily affect everyone than simply broken friendship. I'm still having shivers at the twisted minds we have. . .

JG: Got that right, everything has a purpose, whether you like it or not, what happens will happen.

F2P: BUT! Enough of hints for what's to come. For now know that Yami is now part of Konoha's rookies.

JG: As long as Yami can survive being on the same team as Anko. XD

F2P: Hell yeah! XD Also we now had team Viper Squad be register in the Gate and can now live in the new home. As guest, because the Trio will be the owners that the Gate will take priority to protect.

We made scenes of how Yami's inner thoughts were before she meet the trios. And boy were their dark. :(

The rest of the rookies now visited the trios new home, Anko and Kurama had their savage alone time. XD

And finally, there has been MANY subtle hints for things that will come in the future, but we'll not say what they are. :D

JG: Now before we can continue any further, it's time for the review responses where we both choose one review from the last chapter and respond to it. I'll go first. Here's my review from Inumeru.

I think its pretty fucked up that the hokage just put anko and yami into the trios house without asking and no warning, thats kinda gross missuse of power. Honestly i would tell anko to fuck off. Plus seeing as the house was built on clan property the hokage shouldnt have the power to do so.

True true, Tsunade did pull a dick move with moving someone else into the same home as Team Seven, but as you read in this chapter, our little Uchiha got her payback on the the busty blonde Hokage. XD

F2P: But don't forget that she did it as her attempt to keep the trio from trying anything too early for them to do. Like that would stop them. XD But also think that Satsuki, as mad as she is, she would never say Anko to "fuck off" I mean she is her sister figure and really cared for the older kunoichi.

And yeah! She should had known this would happen if you mess with Kushina's incarnation in the flesh! Especially after weeks of not doing anything Naru fun time! XD

Now for my review from Leaf Ranger:

So, Sakura's preparing to leave the village. Will we get a 'Sakura' retrieval arc, like the Sasuke one in canon? Guess we'll see.

And so Yami joins Konoha, becomes the first of Anko's team, and now she and anko are living at Naruto's home. Why do I get the feeling Tsunade planned that to keep Hinata and Satsuki from having fun with Naruto? x.x

I do still hope Yami and Haku end up together. They'd be so cute I think. XD

Keep up the awesome work!

Well you WILL have to wait and see. XD But trust us that what is to come will make that canon arc shit in comparison! :D

And as stated before, yup, Tsunade did planned it, but like we said before, that's not going to go as plan. XD

Finally. . .You and every HakuYami fan now! XD

JG: XD Hell yeah! Though when I showed some of my friends at my college campus a pic of her, they say she looks like a white haired Hinata. ^^"

F2P: Really? She is NOTHING like Hinata. . .She is a kickass swords woman with an ice cold sharp tongue that will put all perverts in their place. With just one word! XD

JG: Got that right! XD Moving on from there the second Viper Squad member will be coming soon. . .and let's just say, she gonna really liven' up the group! XD *Rolls on the floor laughing*

F2P: You know it! XD And trust us, she will put the IN is INSANE! XD

JG: In a good way though! :3

F2P: In a ridiculously, hilarious, gut busting way! XD

JG: Now moving on from that, *still snickering* we have to reveal the titles for the next three remastered chapters! So here they are:

Chapter 13: Results of Training

Chapter 14: Victories and Visitors

And finally,

Chapter 15: Reveals and Preparations

And we must say, these remastered chapters put the originals to shame!

F2P: And we couldn't be more proud of it!

Also, I wanted to add something. Its nothing important, this is for those readers that still wondered what was the song we used for the Snow's arc final battle, it was Red like Roses Part 2 from the webseries RWBY.

The song was not only kickass, but also fit as Yami's theme. Just read the lyrics and you'll see why. :)

JG: Got that right, thanks to me, we basically found out that epic music can be helpful to write battles, so if you have any song ideas, leave them in the reviews! :D

F2P: Please do! They really help us write more and have more ideas to make the chapters more epic! :D

JG: Well, I guess I would have to say that this wraps this chapter up!

F2P: So once again, sorry for the long wait and hopefully the next one won't be as long as this one.

JG: So until then see you all next time! And also, STOP PMING ME ASKING ME TO PUT TWELVE YEAR SEX BACK IN! *Head turning red in rage*

F2P: Seriously? *Head shake at the pedos* And Peace out!
