My First Kill

or

Meeting With The Rest Of Team Zabuza And Kill Gato, Freeing Nami No Kuni

(Eisaku POV)

Oh, the joy of this mission. So, me and Utakata-taichō were sitting at a café when this blonde brat, and I'm talking bright yellow, blonde, comes up and calls the captain her elder brother. I mean, the kid looks more related to the Yondaime Hokage than taichō. But then Utakata does something completely unexpected, he goes up to the kid and hugs her back, like a full-blown dad hug, it was cute and heartwarming, but it was weird to see my captain near people I don't know.

Then this women with red eyes, she must be a least twice my age and she looks like she's only two years older than me. Anyways, she tells me who all the kids and the other people are. The white, no its silver, haired man was Kakashi Hatake, the Kakashi Hatake, the Copycat Ninja. One of the only people ever known in history to have a sharingan and not be an Uchiha, he was also a student of the late Yondaime Hokage. The kid with, I think that is a dog in this jacket, was an Inuzuka named Kiba.

The girl with pale eyes was a Hyūga named Hinata, I think that was the clan that can see 360 when their dōjutsu is active, she was cute, like kid cute, she was also brave and, well she reminded me of what all girls are like. The other with the jacket that covered his neck and mouth and wore sunglasses was an Aburame named Shino, I don't remember exactly what they do but think they work with beetles. I honestly think it is cool, we don't have any clans like that since Kiri is too... well wet.

The black haired, emo kid, I mean he looked emo to me, was Uchiha Sasuke, I think he is the last of the Uchiha Clan after his brother slaughtered them all, he seemed pretty close to that blonde kid. The next was this beautiful girl, she had this gorgeous, Sakura flower pink hair and emerald, green eyes, she was pretty thin and doesn't seem to be suited to be a ninja, but I think she was beautiful, I think she liked me too because when we made eye contact, she looked away with a blush.

The final one was the blonde brat, Uzumaki Raiura, I pretty sure Kiri attempted to kill them all, but I guess that they didn't success. She cute, but not my type. When she was placed back on the ground she looked and me and gave a smile. Then there was this old guy with them, he was apparently the client, Tazuna.

"How have you been Raiura?" asked Utakata.

"I've been good Nī-san, how have you been?" asked the blonde.

"Well... I've been good as anyone can when they're under Yagura.

Raiura playful smacked Utakata, "Don't say that about Yagura-kun, have some respect for him, you know..."

Utakata chuckled, "Let's get going to the island shall we..."

We began to walk to the village until we got to these small docks, the silver haired man goes with Tazuna-san and knocks on a door. The door opens and they speak for a bit before we started again getting closer and walking on the dock before we stop in front of a long canoe. They first sat the builder one down in the center of the boat with the cute pink one to his right. Then the blonde kid sat in front of him with the Uchiha. The dog kid and Hyūga sat behind. The Aburame sat on the other side of Tazuna. The two sensei sat behind the Hyūga and Inuzuka and we sat in the front of the boat. The hawk that the blonde apparently had sat on the bow and her wolf next to her feet. We were told to be quiet during the whole trip, let's just say the Inuzuka didn't do that and got punch directly on top of the head multiple times.

We were out there on the water for an hour or so before we finally reached shore, when we did, we got off and bid goodbye to the man. Then we started on the path again for the home in which the builder lived in.

(Raiura POV)

As we got off the boat and headed further into the path, an interesting smell entered my nose and I immedietly recognized what it was. Papa and Kaka-nī came home a few times covered in this scent. Blood. It filled the are in almost a potent way. I tapped Kaka-nī's shoulder and he looked down.

"Yes Raiura..." answered Kakashi.

"I smell blood... and it is recent..." I said. Kakashi nodded and pushed me forward, right next to Sasuke. He walked back to Kurenai and told her something, making the woman nodded and Kakashi walked faster and up to Utakata and they both spoke about something. I whistled for Taka to come down and the hawk landed on my shoulder.

"Bai i skucha kiko Kakashi-nī i Utakata-nī ta bisando..." I ordered.

"Si Señora Raiura..." Taka bowed his head and took off to do as he was told. I had learnt and studied the language that was spoken in Akuryō so I could understand what some said as it was technically a previlage to know japanese. Going through the forest, the smell got worse and worse. Taka final came back to tell me what my nī-chans were speaking about.

"Pues kiko nan a bisa?" I asked.

"Nan tabata papia tokante kon bo ta hole sanger i Utakata a bin aki ku un otro tim ku ta mas eksperensia i ta bon ku matamentu... e no tabata ke pa bo pasa den esei ainda," explained Taka.

"Thank you Taka, you can return to scouting..." I said. Taka nodded and returned back to his position above the group. Eventually the smell passed and we made it to Tazuna's home. I was a nice home with a dock. Kurenai knocked on the door and out came a nice lady that looked to be around the same age as Nī-chan. She saw Tazuna and her face shone with happiness.

"Tō-san!" shouted the lady as she hugged on to the man. I guess that man who also smelled like alcohol had a family.

The woman got off her father and I guess she final noticed us, "I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Tsunami... his daughter..." she pointed to Tazuna, "Thank you so much for staying with my father, stay for as long as you need..." she gave a bow.

We walked inside and looked around, as soon as you entered you came into the dinning room there was a small seating area to the left and and a place to place coats and hats on the other. As you walked pass this area you got the stairs and the kitchen, which had a counter (Like the one from Naruto's House in Boruto) there was another walk way that led to a bathroom, the back door, and a small prayer/guest/office room. There was another walk way with led to the master bedroom on the left side. Walking up the stairs, there were three doors on the left, two bedrooms that were the same size with a connected bathroom that had a door leading to the hallway. One left once you stop seeing the lower level, there was a larger bedroom with it's own bedroom.

We walked up the stairs and Kakashi assigned us rooms, Hinata, Sakura, and me would stay in the bedroom closest to the stairs, and the boys, Eisaku-san, Kiba, Sasuke, and Shino will stay in the other bedroom on the left. Kakashi, Utakata, and Kurenai would stay in the larger room to the right.

The girls and me settled into the room cumfortably enough. The room had three beds, it was as if the woman was expecting us and she set up the beds this way, there was one high up on the far left side of the room, perfect for me. Hinata's and Sakura's beds were fairly normal, with night stands, expect Hinata's had a reading light and Sakura's had a place to do her make up, I still wonder who she does so much, make-up stops you from sweating by covering up sweat pors.

I was came out of the bathroom, finishing my before bed routine when Sakura nervous. I enternally sighed at what kind of stupid question this girl would ask.

"What is it Sakura?" I demanded, "You clearly want something and I'm clearly tired, and when I'm tired I'm not nice..."

"I wanted to know if you could train me..." Sakura said.

"Now she wishes to be nice to you... don't trust her..." spoke my tenant.

'Shut up... let me do the speaking...' I was surprised, and it showed on my face, "What? Why? You never want to train, just chase after Sasuke..."

Sakura looked down, "I kinda have a cursh on that Eisaku boy..."

"So you want to train? Why didn't you do that while chasing after Sasuke?" I asked.

"I... I-I don't really know what I was thinking back then but I really want to... I think he will only want someone who isn't a fangirl..." Sakura answered.

I hummed, "Okay, well first, don't put any make up on tomorrow, it will just make everything worse for you... next, I'll give you a diet to go on, you clearly haven't been properly and that's not good for a shinobi... we'll train tomorrow if I'm not sent to go guard the bridge builder or if anything else pops up..."

Sakura nodded eagerly, "Hai, thanks Raiura..."

I gave a small smile, "Anything for a fellow kunoichi trying to improve..."

(Sasuke POV)

We settled into our rooms, it was kind of strange though. There were exactly four beds, mine was next to the wall that the door was one, it was like it was designed for me. The ones Shino and Kiba had were the same and it was kinda creepy, but I just really wanted some sleep. I walked into the bathroom for my afternoon routine when I heard to of the girls talking. I decided to listen through the door.

"I wanted to know if you could train me..." Sakura said.

"What? Why? You never want to train, just chase after Sasuke..." Raiura's tone was surprised.

"I kinda have a cursh on that Eisaku boy..." Sakura said shyly, and for some reason, it made my chest hurt and I had no clue why but I was going to ask Shisui when I got back.

"So you want to train? Why didn't you do that while chasing after Sasuke? "Raiura asked.

"I... I-I don't really know what I was thinking back then but I really w-" I didn't want to hear anymore, already feeling rude. I walked back into the room and hopped into bed, falling asleep before even hitting the pillow.

(3rd POV: Raiura's Dream)

Minori, the body Raiura was looking through, walked through the Hokage tower, she wanted to surprise Tobirama with lunch. She walked into the lunch room, she knew that the would be there. Then she felt something through her chakra sensing and hearingand her heart felt like breaking. Tobirama was talking to a woman, a red hair woman, it wasn't Mito. She had met the woman earlier and she was surprise nice and was marrying Hashirama. This woman was holding his hand and making him smile.

Then he froze he slowly turned to Minori and saw the tears falling down her cheeks, Minori shunshined out of there are as fast as she could. She ran down the streets that were in the process of being built. She ran and ran until she made it to the training ground in which she was going to meet the first genin team. A Uzumaki that was staying here with Mito, Tōka's son, he was her late cousins son too, and a Hyūga that didn't act like others.

She was going to be training them along with a Uchiha that was part Uzumaki and Mito's half brother. His mother was apartently his mother and she was killed after giving birth to Mito. His father remarried and had his two little brother's with another Uchiha, the rest of his clan didn't really like him very much, especially since he was clan heir and didn't even have a girlfriend.

She made it to the Training Ground and leaned against and a tree and slid down, before baling in her hands, she should have know, Tobirama wouldn't want a blind women. Why would he? Sure she could use her chakra to see, but she could truly see, why would he want that? She felt chakra signatures run up to her, it wasn't Tobirama. She was pulled up and leaned against a chest, this was Satoshi.

"Minori what's wrong?" he asked.

"What's wrong sensei?" asked Neko in a serious voice for once.

"What happened sensei?" asked Rias,

"Oba-chan?" asked Tōya.

"All of you leave... we'll do this tomorrow..." order Satoshi, the kids nodded and left the training grounds, Minori could still sense there signatures nearby but it didn't matter.

"Minori?" Satoshi asked.

"I was so stupid Satoshi..." Minori cried, "Why would he want me? I'm blind..."

"Minori, what did Tobirama do?" asked Satoshi.

Minori sniffled, "I wanted to surprise him with lunch, and-and he was sitting with this Uzumaki girl that came with Mito for a little while, "she snifled, "He was laughing and smiling... he never does that with me... why would he want me?"

Satoshi took her to her house, Sakito was currently out on a mission and it would be a while before he came back. He walked angrily to Tobirama's office, he slammed door open and the man was doing paper work, as if nothing ever happened. As if he never broke Minori's heart. Satoshi smashed the Senju against the wall.

"Senju... what did you do to Minori?" Satoshi asked through gritted teeth.

"I was going to see her... but then I was forced into a meeting and I'm done for the day and... I... just... I just don't know how to fix this..." admitted Tobirama.

"Go her damn house and fix this before I fix you..." said Satoshi as he dropped him and stormed out.

Tobirama flashed to Minori's compound, he willing ran to her house and opened the door. When he didn't feel her come to the door, he forced his way inside and went to her bedroom. There he saw her on that bed, her beautiful hunched over crying, he hugged her so tight that she barely could breath, he apologized over and over, crying and asking for forgiveness. That there was nothing going on between him and that Uzumaki woman, she was just an old friend that he was meeting after such a long time.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you..." he did this over and over again until Minori finally made him stop, she could feel that he was sincere and that he truly didn't mean to hurt her.

She gave a watery smile, "Next time don't scare me like the you baka..."

Tobirama looked down, "We do have to talk about something though..."

"What is it?" Minori asked, panic coming back.

"My friend, the Uzumaki, she's Mito's sister from her father's second wife, Mita... she wants to have a baby in a couple of years... and she wants me to be that father and you to me the mother since not only can she not produce any eggs to have a baby, I'm the only one she trusts to care for the kid if anything happens to her... and your my best friend..." Tobirama said. That last part hurt Minori but she knew Tobirama was beyond dense.

"She wants a child?" questioned Minori.

"Yes..." Tobirama nodded.

"Then if you are willing to do it after a few years..." said Minori.

"Of course, she wanted that to, but she wanted me to think of a name..." Tobirama said, "Any ideas?"

"Fujirama..."

(3rd POV)

Raiura shot up again. She hadn't woken up in a cold sweat this time so that was good... right? Right next to her was Mikoto snuggled up, the wolf was a very touch in order to say that she loves you. Taka was sleeping peacefully on the railing, Raiura guessed that they didn't think that she was panicking like last time. She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, she splashed water on her face and looked up into the mirror.

'Why am I dreaming about this woman?' thought Raiura.

"I honestly don't know brat..." said Kurama softly.

'Could you at least tell me what she is to me?' asked Raiura.

"... I still don't fell comfortable with telling you that brat..." Kurama said.

Raiura nodded internally, 'It's aright... I guess I can understand in a way... where you are coming from with this...'

She wipped her face and walked back out and took out some clothes and other items and when to go shower. She locked both door the lead into the bathroom and removed her clothes. Leaving them in a pile, she looked in the mirror, her body was full of scars from all the attacks that she endured and... the incident. She let the hot water fall on her back and sighed as it soothed her back and any muscles that had been ache.

As she was walked out she was dressed in a different outfit. She was wearing a dark maroon red tank top that stopped before the end of her ribcage. On top of that she wore a white, sleeveless jacket with the nine tails in a threatening position on the back, underneath that was the kanji 九尾の妖狐 which stood for Kyūbi no Yōko. Amber pants with her shuriken holster on her left leg and kunai on the right, she liked to keep her weapon separate and she didn't like kunai pouches. She strapped her sword holder on her back and placed her sheathed Rajin and Suijin in them.

She went down the stairs and noticed that the clock said 6:17. Record time for getting ready. Tsunami was in the kitchen making a large breakfast for everyone. Raiura walked up to the kitchen and entered. She noticed that Tsunami was making scrabbled eggs, with bacon and some veges.

"Kon'ichiwa Tsunami-san," Raiura greeted.

"Kon'ichiwa to you too Raiura-chan..." Tsunami said, "A few more minutes and breakfast will be ready..."

Raiura hummed, stood the knife from Tsunami and started to cut the vegetables really quickly, like a chef, "You have a lot guest Tsunami-san, let me help you... they'll wake up around 6:30 to 6:45..."

Tsunami smiled, "Thank you..." she went back to making the scrabbled eggs and bacon. Eventually Kakashi came down with Utakata and noticed that they were cooking, Utakata tried to come and help, but Raiura threatened him with the knife. He raised his hands in surrender and back away with a sheepish smile. Eventually the boys came then Hinata, and finally Sakura, Tazuna and his grandson, Inari, had come sometime in between. They finished plating everything and brought it for everyone to eat, thank the two as they sat down.

"This is good Raiura... you should have told me you were a great cook, you could have sent stuff..." said Utakata.

"What's wrong with Yagura-kun's cooks?" asked Raiura.

Utakata gagged, "It tastes horrible..."

Raiura chuckled, "I'll see..."

"So who's going to the bridge to day?" asked Sakura.

"We're going to going to send Eisaku-san and Kurenai to bring the rest of his team here," Kakashi looked to Tsunami and Tazuna, "You won't mind them staying here will you?"

"How many more?" asked Tazuna.

"3," answered Eisaku as he took another bite of his eggs.

"We have futons so we should able to fit them," said Tsunami.

"Thanks, sorry to burden you with all this..." said Kurenai.

"Think nothing of it..." Tsunami said, "You are doing so much for us, this is the least we can do..."

Later in the day, Eisaku and Kurenai came back with Zabuza, Haku, and Suigetsu. Raiura thought that Haku and Eisaku were the nicest about this team.

"It is nice to meet..." Haku greeted.

"You to Haku-san..." said Raiura.

Suigetsu grinned, "So you're the girl that Mizukage-sama has a crush on..."

The Kyūbi bursted out laughing and Raiura raised an eyebrow, "Just because we are good friend does not mean we are in love, sure we have great affection for each other, but there is a difference between loving a brother or sister, and loving some one like their your everything..."

"Well said Raiura-san..." Zabuza said, "Now you guys should learn from this kid."

"Are you the one who teased the Mizukage on liking her?" questioned Eisaku before being smacked in the back of the head.

"Shut up kid..." muttered Zabzu.

Raiura sweatdropped, "We it is a pleasure to meet you..."

It had been around two weeks and it was almost time for everyone to head back to their separate villages, all the teams were out on the bridge to day just in case Gato tried anything. The sensei's were the only ones not there as they had to do something separat along with Utakata. Raiura had a bad feeling ask Kakashi not to go or aleast one of the sensei should stay. Kakashi told her she had nothing to worry and to head to the bridge.

And that's when everything went south. A bunch of bandits, no... this was more like an army for bandits came and attacked them. Sakura and Shino stayed to protect the bridge builder while the rest fought, they didn't expect to find a missing ninja at the end of defeating them all.

They all panted after killing almost all the bandits, they didn't have anytime to think on it as a missing ninja from Iwagakure came, Nīho Giyū. He was dressed in the traditional red and brown that all Iwa ninja wore along with the Iwa hitai-ate. He had this savage grin on his face and he charged at them. He went for Sasuke first, he was the most tired out of them all, Nīho stabbed him in the shoulder, eliciting a cry of pain from the Uchiha, before kicking him far back enough that he was almost right next to Tazuna and the others.

Sakura and Shino tried to come, but Raiura made a cutting gesture over her neck, telling them not to come. He then went for Haku who dodged and dodged and Suigetsu went to support him but when he slashed him with the sword he only hit the after image. Instead he was behind Raiura, he nearly kicked when she turned around and blocked him with her the sword in her right hand, they danced in a taijutsu battle for sometime. Raiura made punches to head and kicks to his legs but always dodged or he didn't falter after they hit.

Eventually he got her square in the stomach, she smashed against the railing of the birdge, breaking her back, before he came and hit her in the chin making her toppled over the bridge and into the water, unconscious. He dealt with Haku and Suigetsu with ease before Sakura was frozen from the amount of KI he was emitting and Shino nearly got thrown over the bridge and was hanging on. Then there was Eisaku, the poor boy never saw in coming as Nīho stabbed him through the heart several times from behind, killing him. Sakura saw the whole thing. Nīho just grinned like a mad man before disappearing.

Now you might ask what happened to Mikoto, Kiba, and Akamaru. Well, after he stabbed Kiba in both his legs with kunai, the Inuzuka fell unconscious from his senses being over loaded with pain. Akamaru got his paws stomded on and Mikoto was stabbed in the side after fighting like her life depended on it, and it did. Taka also got a kunai thrown at him, missing his body but hitting his wing, he crashed down onto the bridge next to Sasuke.

Haku and Suigetsu were able to get up dispite their injuries and rushed to help the others, the sensei finally came then and helped, Suigetsu and Zabuza pulled Shino up. Kurenai helped Akamaru, Mikoto, and Taka. Utakata, knowing quite of bit of medical ninjutsu started to heal Sasuke and Kiba's wounds when he dragged the two close together so he didn't have to run. Haku was busy trying to heal Eisaku.

"Eisaku!" he cried out, "Stay with me! You wanted to Mizukage right! Stay with me! Don't die before you even get a change to near your goal!"

Zabuza had to pull Haku off him when he checked the boy's pulse, he was probably dead before he even hit the floor. Haku cried in his sensei's chest, Suigetsu coming over and joining them too. It made even Zabuza cry in the end, they were close, being on a genin team for 3 years would do that to anyone. Sakura was froze and Kakashi tried to help her snap out of it, he slapped her and that's when the tears came. Over the short course of this month, Sakura and Eisaku became close to each other, they just... clicked with each other. Sakura cried into her senei's chest, screaming Eisaku's name.

"Eisaku!" Sakura cried, "E-e-eisaku-ku-ku! Auuuggghhhhhahahhhhhh!"

With Kurenai, she realized that someone was missing, "Shino..." she looked to her student, "Where is Raiura?" Everyone froze.

Sasuke and Kiba looked down, "She fell over the bridge..." Utakata raced over and jumped in as soon as he heard those words, he was not going to lose someone else today, not on his watch. He dived into the water and noticed that Raiura was sinking and fast, he grabbed her and began swimming to shore. He ran to the bridge, she wasn't breathing and his needed a solid place to do it. He being CPR, breathing into her mouth every once and a while.

"Come on, come on, stay with me Raiura," he paused between each word pushing down on her chest, "Come one, don't do this to me. I already lost sensei and Sakutarō, please don't make me lose another..."

Raiura shot and spat the water out. Kakashi ran next to her, eyes filled with worry, Utakata patted her, helping her spit all the water out, atleast they didn't lose another one.

Zabuza and the rest of his living genin along with Utakata left the day after with Eisaku's body, wanting to bury him in his home land. Utakata and Raiura talked for a bit, it must have been about her first kill, she guessed. She was depressed, Raiura knew it and sensei did to. She didn't know if Sasuke even care, until he walked up to her when she was the only one still looking in the direction they had walked away in.

"Sakura..." Sasuke greeted.

"Sasuke..." Sakura said. Her face blank but her emerald eyes gave away the sorrow she was feeling.

"I can understand how you feel in a way Sakura..." said Sasuke.

Sakura looked at him, "I loved him more than family..." tears started come out of her eyes again.

"I know..." the dark haired boy said, "I also know that he wouldn't want you to be this way, Eisaku would want you to be happy, and when you're ready, to find someone to share this happiness with..."

Sakura looked at him with teary eyes, "How do I make this pain stop then?"

"I will never go away," Sasuke said, "It's like the saying 'forgive but never forget', the pain will soon dull and it won't hurt as much, but it will always be there and there is nothing to do about it..." he went closer to the pink haired girl and hugged her into his chest letting him cry, "The first step to heal is to grieve openly and in your own way..."

Eventually it was time for Team 7 and Team 8 to go, they had all healed pretty well and most of it had been bandaged up by Utakata. Kakashi was sad, they had lost some else on a mission, sure they weren't close nor were they from the same village, but he felt like it was his good to make sure genin do not die on missions. As he looked at his team, he could seen how much they had grown from this, whether it was first kill or first hard break. He could already tell that it made them wiser. He remembered when Raiura had given Inari a talking of sorts after he bursted out on Sasuke.

"Why are you all even trying, your just going to die!" shouted the small boy, "Your just going to die, Gato's to strong for you to defeat!"

Sasuke frowned at Inari and retorted, "Shut up! You don't know anything about us so don't act like you do! We're stronger than think and we have no intention of dying!"

"No you're wrong! You're all going to die! You have no idea what he has done to this place! No-one can beat him!"

"You're right, we don't have a clue what it is like to live under Gato's rule! But I'm sure as hell why your step-father is turning over in his grave right noe! Seeing how much you whine and cry like baby! How much of a coward you've become! Your Jiji is risking his life to build and bridge so you and this country can have a better life!" shouted Sasuke, "While your sitting here crying, saying everything is hopeless and that people should give up while they can without even trying!" Inari broke out in tears and raced out the back door, Sasuke got up and went to the door, "I'm going out!" then he slammed the door.

"Sasuke!" spoke out Kurenai, waiting to go after the young Uchiha, but was stopped by Kakashi, who placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Let him go Kurenai, he'll come back when he cools of..." Kakashi said calmly.

Raiura stood up and walked in the direction Inari went in, "I'll be back..." Kakashi stood up and followed her to the door, staying behind the door to listen. There was a small porch area like you would find for a japanese house, there was a staircase, but it was old and broken. Raiura saw Inari sniffling and sat down next to him, having her arms brace her from behind. She looked up to the dim sky.

"Looks like it's going to rain," Raiura commented.

Inari sniffled, "Yeah..."

Raiura sighed, "Look Inari, don't judge Sasuke okay, he's... he's been through a lot. You know, when he was your age, his parent and clan were killed by his elder brother?"

Inari looked to the blonde, "Really..."

Raiura hummed affirmative and nodded, "Yup, you should be glad that you sit have your mother and grandfather, he only has a cousin that was good friends with that brother..."

Inari's eyes widened, "Oh..." he suddenly felt Raiura ruffled his hair.

"I want you to understand something Inari, you aren't the only who has suffered, just leave wave country and you can see so much suffering... Sasuke is trying so hard so that no one that he holds close to him will ever have to go through what he did... he wants to find his brother, and ask him way he truly did what he did..."Raiura gave him and soft and kind smile, "I want to tell you something that a sensei of mine once told me 'If something is truly important to you... even if it's heart-breaking, even if it's sorrowful... you keep on trying and trying even if you lose your life, you keeping protecting it with your two arms... then, even you really do die, you leave behind that you truly are who you say you want to be...' do you understand? I'm going to go inside again, come when your finished..."

Kakashi remembered who had told her that, Yūgao had, it was something that her father told her, and she wanted to tell Raiura since she saw the girl as a daughter more than a student. Kakashi looked ahead of him, the whole island had gathered here to bid good bye to them.

Inari cried and beg Raiura not to go, "Please don't go Nē-chan..."

Raiura patted the kids head, "I'll come and visit..."

"Promise?"

"I can't promise but I'll try..." said Raiura with a smile.

"Raiura come one!" shouted Kiba, the blonde turned around to see the two teams closer to the main land side of the bridge, she ran to them, turning around to wave tat the villager.

One of the villagers suddenly spoke up when the Konoha team was far away, "So what do you think we should call this bridge?"

"How about the bridge of hope, as this bridge was the hope of our country," spoke another villagers, there were some who shouted out other name choices and some who agreed to them to some of the choices.

"I have got any even better idea," shouted Tazuna, "Let's name it the Great Eisaku Raiu Bridge, in honor of the child who sacrificed his life to save our country and give us back our hope. And after another child who seems to bring some good luck where ever she goes..." there were quick approves of this name and soon everyone was agreeing to it.

In the trees over looking the villagers, a masked and cloaked person crouched down on a branch, 'Soon Nē-chan, soon I'll break out of his clutches...'
