What if Naruto Became The Senju Leader | Part 1

Today was both the Grand Sukimi Festival and the 15th day of the 8th month of the year. Visitors from all over the world as well as locals were packed into Tanzuku guys streets. The streets were lined with a variety of entertainment options such as seven needle loops, lantern riddle games, and for the younger crowd, candle stands, apple bobbing, and goldfish scooping. The view was adorned with fully bloomed soccer trees. There was a rather ordinary bar in the center of Tanzakugai, a bustling city. Several paintings in the Japanese style were displayed on its dark brown walls. The bar's seating was intended to be circular, giving the impression of a whirlpool from an overhead perspective. The front bar seats were occupied by a variety of people, including young couples, groups of friends, and especially a couple of lifelong friends and comrades. The main bar was situated farthest from the main entrance. The two individuals solemn faces were out of keeping with the joyous atmosphere of the evening. The woman seated on the left was a stunningly beautiful woman who frequently attracted the attention of many men. This woman had brown eyes, a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and blonde hair that was tied in a long ponytail that hung down to her lower hip. Chin-length strands of hair framed both sides of her face. She was around 5' 4 and wore a green robe with the kanji word gamble printed on it. She had on a white sleeve shirt and black shorts with a matching waist sash underneath her robe. Her enormous breasts, however, were her most noticeable characteristic. It was a man with very distinguished features who sat next to her. A distinctive head protector with the kanji of oil printed across the metallic object on his forehead, red lines running down from his eyes and waist length, spicy white hair tied in a ponytail framed both sides of his face. At roughly 6'4, he was a fairly tall man. He wore a long red vest underneath a gray kimono, full-length pants that matched the color of his shirt and traditional Japanese clogs. When two of the strongest shinobi ever created in the shinobi world were within arms reach of the bar patrons, they were unaware of it. They were Konahano Namakuji Sunsade and Jeriah the Gama Sen. The sandame Hokag had permitted his two students to take a short vacation from the village just days after the third shinobi world war. Even lifelong veterans like Jeriah andsunade need to quietly repent because the two sonin were among the most formidable shinobi in the war and had countless lives on their hands. A flustered sununade half asked. The third great war is finally over. It's<unk> hard to believe, isn't it? Hi, this is the second Shinobi world war we've been through. Jera said as he drank his sake. I know a lot of leaf shinobi has died in the war, but I am glad that no one particularly close to us have perished. The only reaction Jeriah received was silence. He knew that he shouldn't have said that to his teammate because she had already lost too much to wars. Sununade had changed greatly since becoming a Jennon. The joyful and vivaceious girl she had been at that time had long since disappeared, leaving only a shell of herself. The Senju had far more power than she had at the time, but it came at the expense of most of her soul. She no longer possessed the will of fire that her clan prized above all others. When Jeriah looked around, he saw a lot of happy faces. He knew that most of them were just regular people from all over the world. But even they were happy that the war was finally over. The war had destroyed the world economy over the past 10 years. But now that the violence has stopped, people everywhere can finally breathe a sigh of relief and see a glimmer of hope. As he sipped his sake saucer, the strong Sanin remarked, "The people around him sure look happy. The end of the war could be one of the best things to ever happen to them." the woman said in a flat voice, "Why wouldn't they be? The world is finally at peace, and they could make money again." Sununade nodded absently, her face flushed, having already consumed three bottles of sake. As he guided Sununade to a suitable location for moongazing, Jeriah sighed and turned to face his teammate. "Let<unk>s go join the festival. It is very seldom that we get to see the moon like this," he said. Roof of Tanzuku guy Castle as he continued to stare at the full moon, Jeriah said. Did you know that in a far-off land in the west, women celebrate this moon as a tribute for the man they love? The men will praise and recite poems for the woman they loved, comparing their beauties to that of the moon. Sununade ripped her eyes from the moon and turned to face her lifelong teammate, Jeriah added. And that was something I always wanted to do. Then why didn't you remember that you're the gallant Jeriah? smirked in amusement and said, you ought to have had girls swimming over you after the second Shinobi World War. Jeriah's face was softly smiling. Sununade was taken aback by the man's less than enthusiastic voice as he said, "Yeah, that was the case." The man closed his eyes and let out a long sigh before whispering, "But I never had any sort of feelings for those women. They were all beautiful, but they just weren't for me." The Sanin opened his eyes and turned to face Sununade. There had always been only one woman in my life, and as long as she is in my heart, I could never love another woman. face flushed partially from the alcohol and partially from Jeriah's sincere words. I, Jeriah, um, she started, ignoring his teammate's voice. Jeriah went on, I met her many years ago, and my feelings for her had started since then. She was a very unique girl, angry and violent in one minute, sweet and loving in another. She was the reason I actually wanted to get hurt or injured on missions back then. Her face and actions during her healing me always made me feel cared and loved. Jeriah chuckled as he spoke, enjoying his phrases. There was just something about her eyes. They were so full of life and compassion. They made me feel that she could do anything she wanted to do. I was sure that she will be the most successful medical ninja in Konaha. And I was right. Sununade had always known that her teammate liked her, but she believed that relationship had ended years ago. She was completely absorbed in Jeriah's words and had no idea how strongly he felt about her. The Senju Aerys had never heard Jeriah talk with such passion. It truly gave the impression that he was a sonin rather than a mere pervert. Jeriah turned to face his lifelong sweetheart. The white-haired man knew Sununade was referring to her when he said, "I was very happy that she could be so successful, but over time, I watched her get knocked down repeatedly emotionally, and the girl I loved began to change. The light in her eyes started to dim, and she grew distant from me. I didn't know what to do. I tried my best to comfort her, but she always pushed her away. There was nothing I could do." Assunade closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt bad for treating Jeriah the way she always had. It was as if she had let him down. Jeriah approached Sununade cautiously until their faces were just a few inches apart, at which point he placed both of his hands on her shoulders. The woman smiled softly as she heard Jeriah's vivid recollection of her. "The first time I met you was at our team meeting. I still remember that you were wearing that cute turquoise kimono and how you used to tie your hair back in a high ponytail. That was thesunade I fell in love with. The happy and fun-loving Senu Aerys that liked to fight with me. As she hung on to every word he said, Sununade began to approach Jeriah. With a hint of melancholy, the man whispered, "I was really happy after I got the contract for the toads because I thought I could have impressed you with my power, but that never happened. But I didn't give up. I spent the next few years traveling around the world, and it was some of the most important and happiest time of my life. I got much stronger and wiser through those travels. Said the man as he looked into Sununade's eyes. The sudden outburst of anger Jeriah displayed startled Sununade. But leaving Konaha at the time is the one thing I regret the most in my life. Jeriah said it was during the time I was away you started to date Dan. If I was not to leave, we might have had a chance. Mumbled. Jeriah. With difficulty, she had no idea that Jeriah would feel that way. Jeriah looked directly into Sununade's eyes once more and said, "I know that this may not be the best time, but this is something I have to say with conviction." There is nothing more I can say to express my love for you, Sununade. I know you may not even consider me that way, Buddha. Umphsad's lips smashed against Jeriah's, effectively shutting down Jeriah's brain. Then he felt Sununade's tongue enter and start exploring his mouth as his eyes widened, knocking him out of his stunned state. Stunned and in denial, Jeriah slowly returned the kiss, causing both of them to moan in the process. After 5 minutes, the two reluctantly pulled away from each other, a link of saliva connecting their lips. With tears in her eyes and her entire body trembling, the woman whispered, "Jeriah, don't speak anymore." near her teammate's face. "Please, this is enough." "Why? Why are you still hiding from me?" the white-haired man asked, running his fingers gently through his beloveds hair. You can stop with your cold and apathetic act in front of me. I will let you know upfront that I will never give up on you. You mean too much for me, Sununade, Jeriah said tenderly as he drew the love of his life close to him and allowed her to rest against the crook of his neck. You know I will do anything for you, the man said asade tightened her hold on a section of Jeriah's shirt. Tears streamed freely down her eyes. I am so sorry, she said. I nearly died during this war. It was when my troops and I were attacking one of the largest camps of Iwagakir. And just before I managed to kill the leader of the group, "I thought I was going to die," Jeriah said quietly, feeling the woman in his arms wse at his words. "The man was not particularly powerful, but most of my men were down, and I was outnumbered 100 to one." Jeriah paused to cuddle closer to Sununade. I lay motionless on the ground around hundreds of dead men, barely conscious myself, and the only thing I could think of at the time was Yusunade. Sununade put her arms around Jeriah's body because she had been hiding from a very strange feeling in her heart for the past 5 years. The Senju made a vow to herself that she would never experience the anguish of losing someone close to her again. So, she pushed Jeriah and everyone else out of her heart. However, the man's words warmed her heart again, and the idea of losing Jeriah to the war was nearly intolerable. I felt like a failure. I was praised by the village was one of the most powerful shinobi to ever live, but I couldn't even make the woman I love happy. I promised myself that I will do my best to stay with you after the war. I know you are trying to break all your bonds with people close to you so you don't have to hurt again. But I promise you, Sunsade, if you let me in again, I will always be with you no matter what. Nothing will take me away from you. Jeria said, closing his eyes and feeling satisfied with the warmthad provided for him. Jeriah. Sununade lifted her head from the crook of Jeriah's neck and looked at the man who had loved her for more than 20 years. The woman mumbled, "Jeriah." As softly as the wind around them, but she was at a loss for words and didn't know what she could possibly say. In a matter of minutes, her perception of Jeriah had changed significantly. He was no longer the perverted idiot in her eyes. Instead, he became her most valuable person. The Senju could not believe the extent of her current feelings for Jeriah to the point where she couldn't tell if she was in love with him or if she was completely dependent on him. With a sigh, the white-haired Sanin simply drew her back against him and said, "You don't have to say anything. Just know that you will never be alone and you don't have to be lonely all the time. I will always be here with you by your side supporting you." Nunad leaned down and kissed Jeriah again, but this time the kiss was filled with love and affection rather than desperation. The blonde woman abruptly pushed herself up from Jeriah's body until she was looking down upon his face. "Jeriah," whispered the Senju, her eyes still full of tears. "I love you, too," she said, straddling her teammates's lap and wrapping her arms behind his neck to draw him closer to the kiss. Fireworks were blazing in the sky as two soning gave their lives to one another. The festival and the war completely erased from their minds as they were completely absorbed in one another. They were both acting instinctively, too shocked and elated to respond logically, and the passion behind their love was growing significantly after more than two decades of waiting. They had spent the week after they confessed to each other staying at Tanzakugai. The festival may have ended, but to Jeriah and Sununade, it was heaven. The past week has been the happiest week of Jeriah's life, and he has been spending every minute of every day with the woman of his dreams. Made even better by the fact that Sununade seemed so happy when she was with him. As the sun sets over Tanzakugai, the village is blanketed in an orange glow that illuminates the light-colored walls of the buildings. Sakura pedals sail through the sky as if they were following the winds melody. The charming new couple was once again on the castle roof, entwined with one another. Jeriah had his arms wrapped protectively around Sununade's waist and his chin resting on her head as she buried her face deeper in the crook of his neck. He looked down at what he considers to be an even more beautiful view. His eyes full of life and hope that had been lacking for a long time. Whensunade whispered, "What are you staring at, Jeriah?" [ __ ] Jeriah was startled out of his days. Just wondering how my stupid drunken confession managed to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with me, Jeriah replied, grinning at his soulmate. Sununade closed her eyes and buried herself deeper in Jeriah's warmth. I really appreciated what you said. The woman whispered, "I wanted that to happen because if they were to die in the war, I would just be in pain again. It was as you said." After Dan and Noaki died, I started to lock myself away from the world, ignoring most of my friends, and because of this, I lost contact with most of them. Sununade smiled and said, "I was so caught up in that thought that I didn't realize you never abandoned me or gave up on me." Assunade spoke, Jeriah's gaze was fixed on her. Jeriah continued, lovingly stroking her hair slowly. I had already given up on loving another. I thought it was too late for me. But your words showed me that I was not alone. It was you that was with me when grandpa and grand uncle died. It was you that comforted me when Noaki died. And it was you that stayed with me for days on end when Dan died. Concluded, tears streaming down her beaming face. You never left me. You were always there. Now I can truly see clearly and I can say without a shred of doubt that I love you, Jeriah. She then led upward to give Jeriah a tender kiss on the lips. At the very least, Jeriah was taken aback by the obvious feelings of love and happiness that he experienced now that he fully accepted the fact that Sununade loved him and the impact of his confession. However, what really caught him off guard was the feeling of intense relief. Sununade had recognized him and the things he had done for her, and he thought to himself silently, as one tear ran down his cheek, it was not in vain. He responded to the kiss quickly, and as if a damn burst, all the passion and desire that had been building inside him for years was released into the kiss. What had begun as a loving kiss swiftly evolved into a passionate makeout session, as if they were both trying desperately to make up for lost time. Removing his tongue from her mouth, Jeriah lightly sucked on her lower lips, enjoying the taste of a pair of lips he had wanted to kiss for years. Jeriah pushed his tongue intosunade's mouth, aggressively brushing it against hers until Sununade moaned into the kiss as she tangled her fingers into the man she loves white hair. But that was the limit Jeriah had set for himself. He may be a pervert, but he did not want to risk the most significant relationship in his life. Sununade took her hands off of Jeriah's hair and began to rub from his wide shoulders, then down towards his muscular chest, making him shudder at her delicacy. Jeriah took this as permission to continue kissing Sununade as he laid her gently onto her back and then proceeded to rub her belly and waist sensually. Whensunade noticed his hesitation, she took control and gently removed Jeriah's hand from her belly and placed it on top of her amazing breast. The Senju Aerys nearly burst out laughing when she saw Jeriah's reaction to her actions. His eyes nearly burst out of his head. The woman he had been in love with for 20 years simply pushed him to second base. If you continue this, I will not be able to control myself, Jeriah said, trying desperately not to move his hand. To say he was surprised would be an understatement. Jeriah, I want you. I need you. Sununade whispered softly as she approached his ear and sucked on his ear, pushing Jeriah over the edge. Jeriah tilted himself so he was fulling a topsunady, ready to continue. Butsunade stopped him before he could. I would like this, but could we first return to our hotel room? said a flushed sununade, breathing quickly. As he lifted his future lover up bridal style, Jeriah grinned and said, "Anything for you, Suheim, aside from, I've had long-standing fantasies about carrying you to bed." It was a lovely morning with a clear blue sky, singing birds, and a town just starting to awaken. At 9:00, sunlight started to filter through the hotel curtain, illuminating Sununade's beautiful sleeping face, which was filled with only expressions of happiness and fulfillment. Her eyelids began to twitch and twitch until one of them opened to reveal the man she would spend the rest of her life with. I never thought I would see him like this. Just one week ago, all I would have seen from this man was an obnoxious pervert with his signature perverted grin. But now I can only see a handsome gentleman that loves me unconditionally, a man that can really bring out the good in me. Jeriah was still asleep with a small smile delicately adorning his face and his hair appearing to glow from the sunlight. Her head was resting on his chest. It was true that Sununade no longer felt the need to gamble. She had gone past several casinos during the week, but she never gave it any thought because she was always too preoccupied with whatever she and Jeriah were doing or discussing. Sununade was not the only one who had changed. Jeriah had not made any perverted remarks about any other women besides her. A week prior, Sununade would have beaten Jeriah to a pulp due to his perverted remarks to her, but following that confession night, she loved it whenever Jeriah complimented her body. Sununad's deep thoughts were interrupted by a slight twitch of Jeriah's body. And as she looked up and saw that Jeriah was about to wake up, she leaned up and kissed him gently. Slowly but surely, she felt Jeriah returned the kiss, nibbling on her lower lips. And she instinctively parted her lips to let Jeriah's tongue explore her mouth sensiously. "Suhim, can I anticipate a wakeup call like that every morning?" Jeriah grinned as he came to full consciousness. "Only if you are good, Jeriah." Sununade giggled in amusement. Oh, I'll be fine with him. Jeriah kissed Sununade on the lips and remarked, "Last night was the best night of my life. It was literally a dream come true." whispered, "Well, then you better expect a lot more dreams coming true." "Oh, this I can work with." He he Jeriah responded ironically as he pressed closer to plant a kiss. The couple was interrupted. Ting ting ting when something struck their glass window. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was two messenger birds tapping their peaks against the window. It seems Serobi's sensei have a message for both of us. Jeriah read his own message and handed the other to Sununade as he reluctantly withdrew with a sigh and walked towards the window to receive the messages. Sununade proceeded to read, "Wow, expected arrival in 2 days. What's the hurry? It seems that he wants us back at Hikonaha. It does make sense. We have been gone for almost 2 weeks. Konaha needs more intimidating shinobi to prevent other villages from attacking during the village is vulnerable. Jeriah replied calmly. Sununade exclaimed with joy, well, we do have good news to bring to Saruto sensei. He would be estastic that we are together. She was aware that her sensei had always wished for her to be with Jeriah even before she was dating Dan. With a cheshure grin, Jeriah said, "Yep, I bet even Orochimaru will be happy for us." giggled at her lover as he said, "Yash, let pack and head home." Jeriah was silently hoping that his news would make his best friend feel better because Orochimaru has been acting strangely lately. Sununade and Jeriah were walking hand in hand through the Konaha forest on their way home, and a small smile appeared on their faces as they walked down the road in a comfortable silence. It had been a long time since they had felt so at ease. Usually they were in this forest to leave for a mission, but today the atmosphere was entirely different and they were amazed at how magnificent and healthy the trees were around Konaha in comparison to the other places they had visited. Jeriah whispered to the man, "It feels good to be back home." in a calm voice as he held Suande close to him with one arm. Sununade murmured, "Home!" as she looked toward Konaha. She then turned to face her new lover and grinned, saying, "Yes." Sununade concluded, "It's home again." Leaning into Jeriah's arms, the two soon arrived at the enormous gates of Konaha, where their affectionate stance startled the gatekeepers. Jeriah and Sununade then approached the gatekeepers with smiles on their faces, not surprised that the village's residents, even the unassuming Chunin guards, would be taken aback by their new bond. Namicazi Jera and Senuad are returning from a two-eek vacation, Jera said professionally as he gave them their ids and passports. When the two guards saw two of the strongest shinobi in Kona up close, they became anxious. Hhi Jaraya samaade sama. The young man stammered, stumbling a little as he verified the validity of the passport. Okay, everything is clear. Welcome home, Jeriah sama. Sununade sama, he said. Thank you, was Sununade<unk>'s joyful response as she retrieved her identification from the tunin. As they continued to walk with their arms intertwined, the new couple attracted the attention of everyone they passed. This was something they had anticipated when they made the decision to make their relationship public. It was not often that two sonin were so affectionate with one another. And many of the shinobi who passed by the attractive couple were surprised not only that they appeared to be together, but also atsunade's happiness. The scowl that was permanently encased on the female son<unk>s face was replaced by a big smile and lively eyes. I know you both are very happy in heaven. Grandpa, grand uncle, the sonin thought silently as she gazed up at the Hokag monument. It was true that Sununade<unk>s expression resembled that of an upcoming bride. While she had not paid much attention to the village or its residents in previous years, she is now very happy to see how lively and happy the village is. She is also silently grateful that her grandfathers and grand uncles pride and joy had such prosperity. As he walked down the street, Jeriah was also having a great time. His face was full of pride and joy as he held the most beautiful woman in Konaha in his arms. Some might even think that he was showing off. Jeriah was enjoying the looks of surprise and jealousy that different men sent his way. So much so that he actually failed to notice how happy the village was after the war. For a long time, the streets of Konaha were mostly empty due to the villagers fear of unexpected attacks. But a few weeks after the war, the streets were brim with laughter and joy. Isn't the village incredibly vibrant? Sununade said, grinning with pleasure. Sununade laughed in response to Jeriah's smug response. Yeah, although it might seem extra lively in our eyes. Jeriah was clearly proud of their happiness. Soon after, the two arrived at the Hokag Tower, and after climbing the stairs, they went inside and went to the receptionist. The hoage's receptionist had been in her job for a very long time. She was a naturally beautiful woman in her early 40s dressed in a formal pants suit with long brown hair that fell to her midback and one bang covering one side of her forehead. Her name was Reena Hikari and she smiled when she looked up and saw Jeriah and Sununade. How are you today, Hikari? Sununade smiled as she asked since their sensei was Hokag. The Sanin and Hikari have a long history of frequent visits to the Hokag tower. Hikari and the three members of team Seratobi quickly became friends, or for Orochimaru, acquaintances. A smirking Hikari eyeballed the situation her two friends were in and said, "Oh, welcome home. I had a very good morning and it seems that you were having a blast to Jeriah looks ecstatic." Hkari squealled and Jera gave him a sheepish back rub as Sununade joyfully replied, "Yes, we are a couple now." took on a slight red tint. An excited Hikari clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "Oh my Cammy," "I knew you two would get together. I always thought you two would make a cute couple." Jeriah laughed in a humble tone. The male Sanin said, "Thank you, Hikari Chan. But getting back on topic, I believe Sensei wanted to see us. He gave us quite a rush to get back to the village." Hikari's smile vanished in an instant. Yes, Hokag sama needs to see both of you for some disturbing news, she said solemnly, which surprised the other two because Hikari rarely acted this way. With a simple nod, Jeriah escorteds to the Hokag office. Office of the Hokag known as the Camino no shinobi, Seratobi Hirozen was regarded as the strongest cage of his generation and one of the most formidable shinobi in history. He had participated in three Shinobi world wars and had killed several elite shinobi without raising a red flag. But the renowned shinobi was now deeply ashamed of himself. Saru Toby and the Jonan lawyer had been looking into a case involving the kidnapping of numerous children three days prior. The case was classified as an S-ranked mission because the Hokag was worried that other villages were stealing their potential future shinobi. The cause was discovered after the mission's participants followed the evidence to a secret room inside Konaha Academy. The kidnapper was Orochimaru, the habisan of Konaha. In addition to using the kids for gene splicing experiments, the evidence also revealed that Orochimaru had been abducting his fellow Konahashbi and using them as human test subjects for years. In an attempt to create methods that would give him immortality, he experimented on them. There were two reasons why Serobi felt ashamed. One was that he had been training Orochimaru since he was a young boy and he was partly to blame for the man he became. Second, even though Hiaza knew it was his responsibility to kill Orochimaru after the numerous disappearances were eventually linked to him, he was unable to do so at the time because he had such high expectations for his beloved student. Looking up at his teacher's Hokag photos, Serbi thought glumbly, "Why am I so weak? I fully knew the implications of being Hokag. The safety of the village comes before everything, and now I may have unleashed a catastrophe into the world. I am so sorry, sensei." When Seratobi heard a knock on his office door, he snapped out of his revery. Serbi said, "Come in." in a firm voice. When Serbi saw who was at the door, his expression brightened significantly. When he saw his two other students enter the room with their arms intertwined, his expression instantly changed to one of immense surprise and joy. They turned to face their sensei with radiant smiles on their faces. Jeriah politely said, "Hello, Serbi sensei. How are you this fine morning?" Jeriah, are you and Tsunad? The nervous sensei stumbled. Yep, I finally got the her. Jeriah's smile was genuine as she exclaimed. Jeriah's claim was confirmed when Sununade gave him a kiss on the cheek and a tighter hug. I am very happy for you both. You definitely deserve each other, and I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time, Sununade Chan, said Sanding, delighted that his surrogate daughter was once again content. As Ser Toby joyfully approached his students and gave them a warm embrace. Jeriah gave Saru Tobi a cheeky smile as he went on. I knew you would eventually manage to woo her Jeriah. He he thank you sensei but let's get back to the point. I believe that you wanted to see us because something bad happened when we were gone. Jeriah responded with seriousness. Saru Tobi sighed and sat down at his desk again motioning forsunade and Jeriah to join him. The hkah began somberly. About 10 days ago, me and a Jon and teams set up by the Junan Corps were investigating an S-rank mission. The sandame shocked his audience by revealing that someone was kidnapping children from various families and orphanages of Konaha. The missing numbered at 100. The further we went into the case, the more information was found. The graves of several bloodline users were raided. Their corpses were missing some of their bones, all of which, when done correctly, DNA could be extracted from it. The evidence eventually lead us to a hidden lab near the academy. And when we got inside, we found numerous scrolls containing kjutsu of all kinds. Jeriah and Sununade started to become disoriented by the unexpected revelations. Assunade gasped and Jeriah gritted his teeth in rage. Saratobi added, "We also found that not only children were used to perform these experiments, multiple shinobi from Konaha that were apparently Kia were also being tested." Serbi said, "His face hardened. From all the evidence, we have deduced that the person behind these acts as a Konoha Shashobi, causing his two students to tremble with fear. Only one man was in all the missions those ninja we thought were Kia. He is your sibling disciple. Orochimaruade exclaimed, "What?" Clearly shocked by the turn of events. She always believed Orochimaru to be a deranged and cruel man, but she never imagined that he would be able to sacrifice his own ninjas and allies to fulfill the impossible goal he refers to as his ambition. Her gaze and thoughts quickly turned to Jeriah. Since they were best friends and fiercest rivals, she understood how important Orochimaru<unk>s friendship was to him. Jeriah was looking directly into his sensei's eyes with a blank expression on his face. What evidence did you have? Besides that he was on all those missions, asked Jeriah, who was emotionless. Jeriah, we had caught him at the scene of the crime. He himself admitted that he had done all those horrific acts and he attacked the Junan team and killed all of them. Then why did you let him escape? Jera said, forcing Sununade to glance at both of them. I know that Orochimaru is strong, but I know that you could have defeated him. You let him get away. In a moment of embarrassment, the sandame said, "Yes, I couldn't bring myself to kill him." whispered softly, "Jeria Coon." Without even looking at Serbi orsunade, Jeriah turned around and left the room. Hurried to the door to catch up, but Jeriah had already left. Jeriah stood in the center of training field 9, which had been destroyed. The trees were either cut in two or burned to the ground. Nearly the whole training ground was covered in massive craters that were 5 ft deep each, and there was ash and debris all over the place. Many ninja and ambu black ops had been alerted to the destruction. But when they all got to training field 9, they lacked the courage to stop Jeriah because nobody wanted to deal with an enraged Sanin following what Orochimaru had done a few days earlier. Some of the ninja in the crowd also knew Jeriah well. These were mostly older and had higher ranking ninja who had previously worked with the sonin. Hitaki Kakashi, Jeriah's adopted son and a young student, was one of the few. He wore a standard ambu black ops uniform that had been shrunk to fit his 14-year-old body, and he had spiky white hair that defied gravity just like his surrogate father. A black face mask covers most of his face, and a slanted konahite it covers his left eye. When Jeriah of the Sanin adopted the White Fangs son, many were taken aback. It was because of what had occurred eight years prior. Before he passed away, Jeriah was good friends with Hitaki Sakumo. They frequently trained and drank together, and they were about the same age, even more than his now treacherous teammate, Orochimaru. Sukumo was the one person Jeriah could rely on to have his back during the Second Shobi World War. Jeriah was deeply hurt by Sukumo's suicide, but he did understand the man's perspective. Sukumo could only maintain his honor and respect for himself, his fellow soldiers, and his village in this way. Even though Kakashi was already a Chunin, he was only 6 years old at the time, and losing his father would be painful for a boy of that age. A few weeks after the White Fangs death, Jeriah formally adopted Kakashi as his son because he knew the boy would need a family and a role model. At first, neither he nor anyone else was accepted by Kakashi as a father. Kakashi isolated himself and ignored everyone. He trained non-stop and would follow the official ninja code to the letter when on missions. Eventually, Jeriah was able to get his adopted son to open up a little. They occasionally had polite conversations, but Kakashi mostly just wanted to ask for advice on how to get stronger. At the age of 13, Kakashi was added to Jeriah's squad and was recently promoted to Junin. One area that was vital to the war effort was the Konabi bridge which they had to defend. Namicazi Jeriah Hitaki Kakashi Ren and Uchiah Obito made up the team. While Obito and Ren were Chunin, Jeriah and Kakashi were Jonan. Jeriah let the youngster lead the team until they had to disband since he had just been promoted to Junan and needed experience. On that day, Kakashi gave the group a demonstration of his first assassination njutsu Chidori. It was an extremely potent A- rank Raiden jutsu that involved focusing a lighting natured chakra into his palm, changing the chakra into several electric bursts using shape manipulation, and then timing the electrical bursts with a speed burst to create a highly charged lighting jab at a target. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks to this type of jutsu. In order to maintain momentum, the jutsu must first be used as a burst of speed, which means it can only move in a straight line. Second, lightning charges the burst of speed, making the jutsu so quick that it is difficult to react to multiple enemies after it hits or misses one target. Jeriah was aware that they could identify the jutsu's flaw before Kakashi could use his attack against a knowledgeable and experienced Shinobi. Jeriah had to split his team in two. After warning Kakashi about the shortcomings of using that jutsu, he had to go to the rendevous point where the main Ewa forces are. While the rest of his team had to keep moving forward with the goal of cutting off the enemy's food supply. Although the mission was ultimately successful, the cost was too high for every member of the Jeriah team. In order to save Kakashi and Ren, Obito had sacrificed his life. He even gave Kakashi his left sharing gun to replace his damaged left eye. Despite Jeriah's aversion to admitting it, Obito's death had some benefit beyond saving his fellow soldiers. It had improved Kakashi. Kakashi was still the man he thought of before his death, and the mission had proven that his father was correct. After that, Kakashi had opened up to people, especially Jeriah, and had become much more gregarious. The first time Jeriah saw Kakashi act his age and the first and only time Kakashi referred to him as Tusan was when the father and son were conversing one evening and Jeriah relaxed his tone when discussing Sukumo. Rather than being reluctant to discuss his biological father, Kakashi revealed his true feelings to Jeriah, even crying on his shoulder. As he stood on a tree branch on the edge of training ground 9, Kakashi sensed tremors in the village and wanted to know what was causing them. He certainly did not anticipate his adopted father destroying the training field and acting like a crazy man. His adopted father Kakashi was extremely concerned about this. Although he was a purveyor, he was generally cool and collected. So he had a fairly good idea of what had happened for him to act this way. The young Anbu member thought to himself, "Jeria, you need to calm down soon. The villagers are already in distress." The sandame hoag andsunade of the sanin were on their way. As all of the ninja in attendance turned over after sensing two powerful chakra signatures approaching. As the village leader and the female sanin approached the shinobi group, everyone's attention was focused on them. Is that Jeriah down there? Kakashi inquired the elderly cage. Hi Hokag sama. I take it that he just heard of what Orochimaru has done. Yes, the Hokag said in frustration. Sensing that there were at least 50 shinobi nearby, Serbi concluded that they required some seclusion. Serbi yelled authoritatively, "Everyone here except Kakashi shall clear out of this area immediately." The three of them leaped down to the demolished area and approached Jeriah. After waiting until everyone has left, Jeriah was facing away from the three, breathing heavily and persspiring. Sununade approached him slowly and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder before saying, "Jeriaakun, please calm down." Jariah yelled, "How can I calm down?" As she turned to face with wild rage in his eyes, the man yelled, "He was a Konaha shinobi. He was supposed to be loyal to the village, not kill its shinobi and desecrate the graves of our heroes." remained motionless and silent, standing in the same spot. Tears slowly trickled from her eyes and ran down her cheeks. Even though Sununade was a strong woman who had witnessed and felt her fair share of cruelty and rage, she couldn't bear to see Jeriah behave in such a manner. She was afraid that she might have lost the man she loves again, and it made her nervous. Jeriah quickly turned to embrace Sununade after realizing his tone had been inappropriate when he saw her crying. The words, "I am so sorry, Heim. I didn't mean to yell at you. I just feel so betrayed and angry. I sore." followed bysunade covering his lips with her own interrupted Jeriah's apology. Although he was unaware of the two's new relationship, Kakashi was taken aback by the scene and dared not interrupt the sandame and Kakashi who stood to the side. Sununade gently stroked his hair and said, "Don't apologize you, Baka. I understand your feelings. I feel betrayed and angry at Orochimaru, but if we don't calm down first, we can't choose the proper action to take." Jeriah looked from Sununade to the two people who were standing close to him. Although he was disappointed at the time for allowing Orochimaru to leave without taking any action, he was never truly angry with his sensei because he understood that it was difficult to kill someone you considered family no matter what they did. After a while, Jeriah noticed his adopted son staring at him with concern. The man who detested worrying the people he was supposed to look after was even more disappointed in himself when he saw his son. In spite of his eccentricities, Jeriah cherished children and fatherhood. He didn't want Kakashi to worry about another of his fathers because he truly valued their relationship. Additionally, this circumstance brought to mind the three orphans he cared for in Aim, Yahiko, Conan, and Nagato. They might not have perished if he had stayed with them longer or trained them more diligently. Jeriah has always placed some of the blame on himself, and he will be damned before he fails. Kakashi. Kakashi began Jeriah unsure of how to respond. Are you okay, Jeriah? I have never seen you act like this. Softly, the anxious son asked. Jeriah ruffled Kakashi<unk>s hair and replied, "Yes, I am fine now, Kakashi. I am sorry that you had to see me like that with a sorrowful smile." Kakashi grinned broadly and said, "It's okay, Jeriah. I'm just glad you're okay." Saru Toby shocked everyone by approaching Jeriah and bowing to him. Sensei, I am sorry of what I said. Please don't bow. No, Jeriah, I am sorry. As Hokag, it was my job to at least try to stop him. I was too weak emotionally at the moment. Serbi lowered his head even more in embarrassment and apologized. Jeriah approached his sensei and lifted him from the bow, saying, "It's okay, sensei." And Kakashi grinned at the two, pleased that the situation had somewhat subsided. Jeriah andsunade were granted the remainder of the day off by the sandame who also stated that they would continue discussing Orochimaru the following day. Kakashi stated that he would return home in a few hours after returning to Ambu headquarters to report on his most recent mission. On their way back to Jeriah's apartment and Jeriah were walking down the main road, each of them thinking about something different. Before coming to the village, they both agreed that they would stay there because there was enough room for them and the Senju clan house was too large for them. Before deciding what to do tomorrow, Sununade was delighted that they had some time to gather their thoughts and conduct their own independent analysis. Even though they had only been in the village for 5 hours, they already felt as though they had been here for days. This was their first day back in the village. The strain of the recent events was nearly intolerable. Jera was still struggling to come to terms with Orochimaru<unk>s betrayal of the village. He was always aware of Orochimaru<unk>s unhealthy obsession with immortality. But he assumed that when he eventually realized it was not possible, Orochimaru would simply give up. Although it is already unacceptable to kill fellow Konaha Shinobi, Jeriah never imagined that Orochimaru would go to such lengths to fulfill his sick ambition. However, deforming their bodies and abducting their children were simply acts against nature. It was difficult for Jeriah to accept that his best friend would be so corrupted. Even though he knew he shouldn't question whether Orurochamaru was truly that twisted. When Jeriah felt someone grab his hand, he was startled out of his revery. "Are you all right?" Jeriah asked, turning to see Sununade staring at him anxiously. "Don't think too much of it today. We can deal with it tomorrow." Jariah looked at and said, "I'm fine, Him. Don't worry. It's just that I still find it hard to believe." barely heard Jeriah whisper, "I felt that Orochimaru was acting strange ever since the end of the war, but I never expected this. Did the village mean this little to him? Did our friendship mean nothing to him?" comforted him by squeezing his hand. Jeriah's face should only have that silly smile, not this moody complexion, and she detested seeing him like this. This lack of good traitorous scum was caused by Orochimaru. Even though they were on the same team, Sununade always felt a little uneasy around Orochimaru. Whether it was during missions or training, she always felt that there was something strange about him. Even before they became a couple, she was not nearly as close to him as she was to Jeriah because of this. Sununade asked, a little afraid of the response. A daughter, you going to try to bring him back? Jeriah could tell by the trembling in her voice that was afraid he would abandon her to go after the traitor. Suheim, you are more important to me than anything, Jeriah said jokingly at the end, grinning down at his lover. Normally, I would have gone to find Orochimaru since I would have left the village to travel anyway. But now that I have you, I would never leave you alone. You better get used to me around here, Jeriah said. As they walked to their house, Sununade hugged his arm and giggled, feeling a great sense of relief. Jeriah lived in a large but unadorned apartment. An L-shaped sofa was affixed to two sides of the spacious main living area. In the center was a sizable marble coffee table. A number of shelves that held tiny decorations were located on the wall facing the sofa. A glass wall encircled the kitchen which was perpendicular to the living room. There were three rooms in the apartment. A guest room, Kakashi's room, and the master bedroom. The living room and the two smaller bedrooms were adjacent to the main bathroom. There is a bathroom connected to the master bedroom. A humorous, "Welcome to our humble abode," was said by Jeriah. Sununade entered her new house. She had visited Jeriah's house numerous times during the PSAT. Jeriah frequently threw dinner parties and gettogethers for their team or a bigger group of friends. However, this time felt completely different from the previous one. She felt like she belonged, which was pleasant. With a relaxed sigh, Sununade remarked, "I really like it here." With that, Jeriah went to the kitchen. I'll see if I can fix up some supper, but while I do that, you can put your stuff in our room. Okay, thank you, Jariah Yakun. They assumed that there wouldn't be enough groceries in the house after their two week absence, but it turns out that Kakashi had restocked the refrigerator in spite of his quick trips. The two ate dinner together, occasionally striking up a conversation as they prepared something simple. The sound of the front door unlocking caused them to pause their conversation. They rolled over and watched Kakashi enter the house, clearly exhausted. When Kakashi heard his father say, "Hey Gaki, back from your report," he looked up to see the two surviving son grinning at him. Kakashi said, "Hi Jeriah, nice to see you again sama with pleasure." "Kakashi, you can just call messunade. Seem now that we will see each other everyday. You don't need to be so formal." Jera said in a whiny voice, "Yeah, I still really want you to call me Tusan." The shocked Ambu member inquired. You will be living with a sununade Samsunade. Dismissing Jeriah's statement at the moment. Yep. Would you be okay with that? Sununade said with a smile. To whichsade replied with a smile, "Of course I would be okay with it. The more the marrier." In an attempt to make fun of the new couple, Kakashi said, "Good night to san. Okay, then. I already ate and I'm tired, so I'm going to turn in." He laughed when he noticed the other two people's shocked expressions. Jeriah was undoubtedly taken aback when Kakashi referred to him as Sununade Kawasan in addition to Tusan. Wo, that was unexpected, Jeriah thought. He turned to face sununade, who was looking at him with a look of mild surprise and wonder. I wonder what it will be like if sununade and I had a child. Then the four of us would be a family, he thought, turning to face the direction of Kakashi's room. I bet he would have blonde hair like his mother, but it will be spiky like mine. Wow, that will be a great life, he said to himself. While Jeriah was daydreaming about his future, Sununade was also trying to figure out how she felt. What is this feeling I am getting? I feel nervous. Kakashi may have been joking, but if me and Jeriah are really together, then I will logically be Kakashi's mother figure. I think I would like that. It would be like when Nwaki was alive. Maybe Jeriah and I can have another child. Oh, our child will be so cute. A little girl with long white hair. She will have to beat the boys off with a stick. That or Jeriah kills them all first. He heunade thought inwardly now that she felt comfortable trying to be someone else's mother. Have you ever wished to have children of your own? He was clearly attempting to ease into the subject with his informal tone. Before answering, Sununade got up from her chair and escorted Jeriah to the sofa where she put Jeriah down and then sat on his lap, nestling her head into the crook of his neck and resting her body against his frame. She closed her eyes and whispered, "To be honest, I hadn't given it much thought until Kakashi called me Kawasan. I think I would love it if he saw me as his mother figure. And I think that I would also be ready if we had our own child," she said, sending a shock wave through Jeriah. Jeriah put his arms around Sununade tenderly and whispered in her ear, "I would love to have another child, especially since it will be our child. She wants to have a baby. This is great, but am I ready to be a father? But do you believe I'm prepared?" When Kakashi was 6 years old, he was already a Chunin, and I became his father. I never had to feed him or change his diapers. He had already learned how to act and how to see life from Sukumo. I am unsure if I am capable of doing that to my own child. A said, "You are definitely ready. You've always been good with children. Your strength and admirable outlook on life have earned you the respect and admiration of your Jennine. According to the stories you told me, even the three orphans you looked after in aim love you very much. You'll make a fantastic father." "All right then, let's<unk> begin creating our child right away," Jeriah said as he abruptly picked Sununade up in bridal fashion. Assunade was carried to her room, she squealled, "Aw! Moans and grunts of pleasure filled the master bedroom until the early hours of the morning. But fortunately, Jeriah had installed a silencing seal to prevent them from scarring Kakashi. The following day, the village elders and the Hokag advisers, Humira, Maidokado, and Kaharu Utatane, joined Jera, Sununade, and the Hokag back at the Hokag tower to decide what to do about Orochimaru. Orochimaru will be listed as an S-rank missing nin in the bingo book. The sandame formally declared as he signed the bingo book document. He will have a kill on sight order and a bounty of 100 million Rio on his head. Although Jeriah andSunade were initially takenback by the large reward, they soon realized that Orochimaru was privy to many of Konaha's secrets which the village could not afford to divulge. Anything less than an entire Anbu team should not pursue Orcomaru because he is an extremely powerful S-rank Shinobi. The Sandame concluded, "Any exception would be the two of you, Jeriah, Sununade." Jeriah andsunade simply nodded in agreement. The Hokag concluded by saying, "Jeriah, tell your contacts to keep an eye out for Orochimaru. Once we have a precise location, we will launch a preemptive attack against the traitor." His tone made it clear to the others that he would no longer hesitate to kill Orochimaru. Jeriah surprised the others by saying, "Hi, I will send them each a message via the toads as I plan to stay in the village for the foreseeable future." This mades smile. Dismissed, the sandame said, grinning at his two pupils. They all said hi to each other. Jeriah and sununade have been back in Konaha for a month. Both Sanin had to complete a number of missions during that time, but none of them presented any difficulties. Having so many missions was a little tiresome, particularly since they were unable to spend as much time together as they had hoped. They spent the majority of their time together at their apartment. Due to Kakashi's frequent missions as a new Ambu member, Jeriah and Sununade essentially had the apartment to themselves. Currently, Sununade was quietly missing Jeriah while lounging on her couch and relishing her day off. Her hand hovered over her belly, glowing a gentle green. Sununade had begun training Shazun, her new apprentice. Shazun was the niece of Sununade's late ex-boyfriend, Dan. She had been living in a small apartment owned by her parents since the death of her uncle, but Sununade had essentially been her unofficial guardian. Sununade had been apprehensive about telling Shazun that she was dating Jeriah. Sununade was aware that Shazun admired her uncle and was thrilled to learn that he was seeing the well-known Sonin. Shazun might believe that she has forgotten about her uncle Dan now that she is dating Jeriah. Thankfully, Shazoon did not react negatively toss new relationship. In fact, Shazoon expressed her happiness that Sununade had at last found someone who could bring her joy. However, Sununade had a sudden realization while contemplating her circumstances on Shazoon. At the height of their relationship, she had intense feelings for Dan, but she now understood that her feelings for Jeriah were far stronger. Knowing that Dan was a highly respected Jonan, she never worried that he would die so quickly while on a mission. However, now that Jeriah, a ninja, was significantly more powerful than Dan, she was always concerned about him. She had never dreamed about her and Dan before, but now she does so everyday, and it's about her and Jeriah. Although she now realizes that Jeriah is her true soulmate, she knew that a part of her would always remember and treasure her time with Dan. They truly felt like a family during their final month of cohabitation. Dinner was typically prepared by Jeriah, which always enjoyed. As the ays of the Senju clan, she never had to cook for herself, but she was making a concerted effort to learn how to cook for her family. Living with Kakashi was a fascinating experience. Even though he was only 13 years old, he was already a very skilled and powerful ninja. He was somewhat like her son, but he never referred to her as Kasan after that first day. When he was injured on a mission, she would typically be the one to tend to his injuries. Kakashi had the option to go to the hospital, but he usually returns home hurt. Perhaps he wanted her to heal him because it gave him a sense of having his mother back. In order to determine whether or not she was pregnant, Sununade was monitoring her own chakra signature and pulse. Her pulse would have an echo if she was pregnant, meaning that a second heart was beating in addition to her own. She can determine whether a second chakra network is consuming her chakra to keep it in shape by looking at her chakra signature. If so, a new life is developing within her. Her eyes widened as the sonin's hand hovered over her torso. I it is. Yes, exclaimeds. With a series of lightning fast shunson, Sununade raced toward the hospital, completing the majority of the village in less than 3 minutes. Sununade hurried inside to find a medic as soon as she got there. It just so happened that Shazun was the first medic she saw. Aftersunade assumed the position of head medic of Konaha, she developed a medical course that the young black-haired Chunin was completing in order to train as a medical ninja in the hospital. Sununade said, "Shazun, come over here." A little louder, drawing Shazun<unk>s attention and that of many others in the hospital lobby. The girl approached her teacher and surrogate mother and said, "Oh, what are you doing here on your day off, Sunsade Sama?" Sununade took the girl's arm with a serious expression on her face. She dragged the girl along behind her and said, "I need you to check something for me. Come to my office." After receiving an offer to become Konaha's head physician, Sununade and her apprentice made their way to her office. The Hokag had expanded the hospital to a much larger size, and Konaha had made a lot of money from the lost villages after the war. Comparable to the Hokaj's own office, Sununade's room reflected her immense reputation as a medic in the elemental nations. It featured numerous cuttingedge medical devices along the sides, as well as its own medical library and archive. The woman sat down on her couch with her student and said, "Shazun, I need you to check my chakra signature and pulse." The perplexed girl asked, "Uh, why are you feeling chakra exhaustion?" She wanted to know why her teacher was unable to check her own chakra. Sanin, the blonde, was beaming broadly. I think I am pregnant, exclaimed with delight. I missed my period a few days ago. Then I checked my pulse and chakra this morning. Everything was shown positive, but I wanted a second opinion. The girl's face lit up with a smile. Shazun exclaimed, "Oh, wow. This is great." Shazun<unk>s hands began to glow green as she examined her sensei's abdomen before checking her wrist pulse. "I<unk>ll check right now." The Chunin's expression changed from intent to hopeful to joyful. "Yes," the girl exclaimed joyfully. "You are pregnant, Sununade sama." With a joyful squeal, Sununade hugged Shazun until she passed out. As she whirled Shazun around, Sununade exclaimed, "Oh, this is the best day of my life." Shazun<unk>s face was turning blue, but she was enjoying the embrace with her surrogate mother. As she patteds back, the girl squeezed out. Tisunad sama aair. With a radiant smile still on her face, finally let the poor girl down. She couldn't wait to share their child with Jeriah. Their efforts to become parents had paid off. Jeriah was on a mission outside the village, but Suande recalled that she would likely return within the day. The blonde woman smirked as she considered the types of surprises she could pull off in the remaining time. The Sanin turned to face her pupil. The soon-to-be mother grinned at her surrogate daughter and said, "Shazun, please don't tell anyone about this for now. I want to surprise Jeryakun when he gets back." The girl with the black hair laughed and nodded. "Sure thing, sununade sama." Shazun exclaimed with joy. Jeriah had just returned from a diplomatic assignment that required him to travel to the hidden moon village. Because of his formidable size as a Senena, one of the strongest ninja Konaha had ever produced a Jera was the front runner to represent Konaha. It was an easy mission. Although he had three Junan with him for protection, he didn't really need them. The girls at the hidden moon were very attractive and the Sanin was treated as a guest of honor. A month and a half ago, he would have flirted with them for a long time, but now his sunade him was the most beautiful person. Following his report to the Hokag, Jeriah returned to his apartment and Jeriah was greeted by the divine aroma of dinner when he got to his apartment. He was famished after the long journey back to Konaha. So, he smiled and opened the door. However, as soon as he saws, his hunger was forgotten. A low cut black dress that hung down to her thighs was on his attractive girlfriend. Additionally, it was form-fitting, highlighting her long legs, trim waist, and enormous chest. Welcome home, honey," Sununade said sweetly as the woman winked at Jeriah while bending slightly to the side. As Jeriah was still too preoccupied with examining Sununade's body to respond to her query, he thought absently that he could pass away contentedly. Sununade approached her man, took him by the collar, and pulled him down for a kiss while giggling to herself. Jeriah finally snapped out of his gaze, and started kissing him back. Sununade was drawn closer to Jeriah as he put his arms around her waist. Sununade's subtle rose scent had always appealed to Jeriah and he was savoring it as he kissed the woman he loved above all else. Following a lengthy makeout session, they collapsed onto the couch in an embrace, momentarily oblivious to the hot meal on the table. Jeriah stroked the hair of his beloved. The man whispered near his lover<unk>s ear, "What's the occasion? I'm Chan." Sununade leaned closer to him and said, "Can't I just want to look good and prepare a good meal for you? Come on, honey. Let's<unk> have dinner." Sitting across from one another were Jeriah and his lover. Jeriah toldsunade repeatedly as they ate that the food was delicious and much better than the last time she had prepared it. Given that he was a Jennon and had desired to return home to Sununade's food, Jeriah might have been biased in what he said. He was happier than ever whensade actually prepared lunch bentos for their team many years ago. And he could still remember how wonderful that was. The original cage bunch led Jeriah to the couch after dinner whilesunade made multiple cage Bunchon to clear the table. Sensing that something was strange about Sununadea who wasn't typically this vivaceious a Jeriah asked Chan do you have anything to tell me? Before continuing, Sununade took a few deep breaths. Okay, she said. Jeriah stared at her, still unsure of what had happened, and said, "I was checking my pulse and chakra signature this morning. And just in case, I went to the hospital to get Shazoon to check me also." Both Shazun and me had the same results. "Jeriah, I'm pregnant." Before and after the news, Jeriah's expression remained the same, and she remained silent. As she caressed her lover's cheeks, Sununade smiled and said, "Jeria [ __ ] say something." As Jeriah picked up Sununade and twirled her around a couple of times, a huge smile appeared on his face. Jeriah exclaimed, "This is great. I'm going to be a father." before abruptly settings down and wearing a shocked expression. "Oh my Cammy, I shouldn't have spun you around, right? Will that affect the baby? Are you?" Oh. Before Jeriah had a nervous breakdown, Sununade interrupted him. Don't worry. None of what you did will affect the baby. I am one of the best medics in the world. You don't need to worry about me or the baby's health. Continued with a saucy grin. Now take me to the room and make love to me. What? But will that affect the bab? Jeriah began, but was interrupted as he was dragged into the bedroom and kissed. The village was overrun with a ton of missions ranging in rank from D to S at 10:00 in the morning in Konaha. Fortunately, a large number of ninja were appropriate for every mission. Sadly though, there was only one Hokag. Su Tobi regretted his decision to become a ninja since he was drowning in paperwork. Although the elderly Hokag had grown accustomed to the paperwork over the years, the day had been especially taxing. One of Konaha's contacts had informed him the previous day that Kumo had plans to abduct the children of multiple bloodline clans in different nations. Among the few on their list are the Hayuga and Uchiha. Six-year-old Uchiha Itachi, the heir to the Uchiah clan, was already a Jennon. It would be devastating to lose him to Kumo because he was the only boy with the potential to be one of Konaha's greatest shinobi. There is currently no heir in the Hyuga main family, but Hayuga Hitomi, the wife of the Hyuga clan head, was pregnant. This must have somehow made its way out of the village because Kumo would not have planned to abduct a branch member who had a caged bird seal. In addition to being two of the most well-known and potent bloodlines of the elemental nations, the Hayuga and Uchiah bloodlines were also the main causes of Konaha's reputation as the most powerful of the five great villages. In case of any kind of infiltration, the Hokag had already dispatched multiple amboo squads to patrol the village continuously. Several knocks on Serb's door jolted him out of his workinduced coma. Come in, was Serbi's professional voice. The heads of the Uchiah and Hayuga clans, Uchiah Fugaku and Hayuga Haiishi, respectively, are visible when the office door opens. Good morning, Hokag sama. The two strong shinobi chanted. As the two clan heads took their seats in his office chairs, the Hokag said, "Good morning, Haishi." Fugaku san, thank you for coming to this meeting this morning. Please sit down. A curious Fugaku asked, "May I ask, what is this meeting pertaining, Hokag Sama? It is unusual that you need to talk to both Hi San and I alone. Haishi nodded in response with a blank expression. Serbi began. Yesterday we were delivered some disturbing intel. As Hishi and Fugaku both had somewhat shocked expressions. The sandame said it contained information stating that Kumo will try to kidnap the children of several bloodline clans throughout the world, including both your own. Haishi growled angrily. Kumo dares to take such action so soon after the World War. It is safe to assume that they want to take advantage of the weakened state of the other villages after the war. Kumo was the village that suffered the least damage, examined Fugaku. The sandames statement that the news of your young son must have somehow been leaked outside the village further alarmed Fugaku. Serbi went on, "Kumo would definitely be after it." As Fugaku nodded, the Sheringan and the Bakugan had always been two of the most powerful kek Jenke in the world. There is no way that we will allow two of our most powerful bloodlines to be stolen from us. Therefore, I hereby purpose that both your clans will work in conjunction with my anbu to protect the vulnerable people of your clans. Both Haishi and Fugaku analyzed the situation with thoughtful expressions. I can't let my heir be taken from me in any way. Right now, it would be beneficial for us to work with the Hokag. The Hyuga clan's sole heir will be the child that Hitomi and I have planned. The loss of him or her will undoubtedly cause discord among the clan's main and branch members. Hitomi will be devastated as well, and I can't<unk>t allow that to occur. Haishi thought, the Ambu Black Ops will undoubtedly be very helpful. The Hyuga is willing to offer its full cooperation to the Ambu Black Ops. Haishi stated as will the Uchiah. Fugaku nodded in agreement. As Haishi and Fugaku nod in agreement, Seratobi said, "I am glad. Please arrange your own plans within the clan homes and I will tell my ambu to act on your orders as long as it is for your protection. Dismissed as they walked out of the Hokag office. Hi Hokag sama was saidunade and jeraya were strolling hand in hand toward the hokag tower. Walking at such a slow pace was refreshing. There were no clouds and it was a sunny day with a slight breeze to keep everyone cool. As usual, the village was bustling and the residents appeared genuinely delighted to be alive. Sununade looked up at Jeriah and smiled, saying, "Sensei would be very happy when he hears our news." The white-haired man grinned at his lover and said, "Definitely, it'll be another Grand Kchild for him." Sununade abruptly recalled something as the two strolled on. Jeriah, what name should we give our baby? Jeriah suddenly had a knowing look on his face as if he was thinking, "Naro, Senju Namakazi Nar," the man said, his face softly smiling. After giving it some consideration, Sununade remarked, "H Maelstrom, huh? I like it, but how did you have such a specific name thought out so fast?" Jeriah responded with a smile. Nar is the name of the protagonist of my first book, Legend of the Gutsy Ninja. I want our son to grow up to become a ninja like that, one that will be able to bring peace to the world. I have never read that book. Do you still have a copy of it? Jeriah smirked and said, "I should still have a copy. Do you want to read it? The woman said, "Yes, it should be interesting if you are willing to name our son after it." She then took a moment to think.ade exclaimed, "Hey, wait. What if we have a little girl instead of a boy?" Jaria smirked and said, "Oh, I know that it will be a boy. I got a feeling." With a challenging expression, Sununade said, "Oh, no. It will be a cute white-haired girl." Oh, when was the last time you won a bet? He heunade gave Jeriah a mocking glare and challenge. Just you waited baka. The two sonin reached the hoage tower before they even realized it. They went up to Hikari who was concentrating hard at her desk. Similar to her supervisor, Hikari's desk was cluttered with numerous files and folders, probably all of the completed missions that required the hoage's signature. As he andsunade approached the woman's desk, Jeriah asked in a casual manner, "Hey, Hikari San is sensei available." The woman was warmly greeted, "Oh, hey sunade, Jeriah." Hikari smiled and said, "Hokage sama just finished a meeting. He should be free now, except for the paperwork." Recalling how her sensei had constantly grumbled about his mountains of paperwork, Sununade laughed. "Well, he will be glad to catch a break. We need to talk to him for a bit." Okay, you two go ahead. Hikari went back to her work and chirped. Jeriah knocked on the door a few times. He led the two of them through the door after hearing his sensei's voice say, "Come in." When the two son entered the office, they saw that their sensei was surrounded by mountains of paperwork and appeared older and more unckempt than usual. Seeing the cami no shinobi in such a manner was incredibly amusing. Jeriah joked, "Hey, sensei, glad to see you so happy." While sununade laughed. When his students entered his office, Serbi's face brightened in the hopes that they would let him take a break from his work so he could chat with his surrogate son and daughter. The Hokag grinned and said, "Very funny, Jeriah. Are you andsunade Chan here to visit your beloved sensei?" As she pictured her sensei's face when she broke the news to him, Sununade smiled and said, "Of course, we are sensei. We also have some great news to tell you." The idea of more poor intelligence nearly made the sandame wsece. Good news, I hope. The blonde sonning grinned at her teacher and said, "Oh, I think you will be very happy." "Okay, okay, enough with the suspense. What is it?" Sununade should be the one to tell," Jeriah said with a smile as she glanced at her. Sununade turned to her sensei with enthusiasm and nodded happily. "Sensei, we're having a baby." Saru Tobi's eyes were wide as he took insunade's words. He suddenly had a broad smile on his face, clearly pleased for his students. He would consider the child of Sununade and Jeriah to be a grandchild. He got up quickly, went to his students, and gave them a firm embrace. I am very happy for the both of you. I know you two will be great parents, and your child will be a great shinobi. Jeriah nodded and laughed. Sighed as she heard her lover declare that it would be a son once more. Of course, he is our son after all. He will be a very strong and talented shinobi if he is anything like his parents. When Serbi suddenly adopted a serious and concerned expression, Jeriah and Sununade were takenback. Sensei, is something wrong? Inquired Konaha's spy master. Saru Tobi gave a nod. He inhaled deeply as he repeated to Jeriah and Sununade what he had just told Fugaku and Hishi. The fact that Kumo would act so carelessly immediately following the world war shocked Jeriah. The most valuable assets in ninja villages are bloodlines. War would ensue if attempts were made to abduct children from the clans. Sununade clenched her fists and questioned, "You telling us this because you are afraid that our child will also be targeted." Chan, you are the only known member of the Senju clan that is still alive. Not only that, but the child is the son or daughter of you and Jeriah, two of the most powerful shinobi in the elemental nations. And Kumo will undoubtedly feel extremely threatened by such a person. So, we must consider that they will try to kidnap your child even if the Senju clan doesn't have an official bloodline. Sununade was furious. She was thrilled that she would soon become a mother and start a happy family with Jera. But her unborn child was in danger from the Kumo [ __ ] sons. I don't care whether it would start a war or not, but if the dare to harm my child, I will do anything to destroy the rakage and his damned village, shouted. The sandame closed his eyes, nodded, and sighed. I know your personality very well, Sunsade Chan, and I understand that a mother will do anything to protect her child. But we shouldn't be talking about how we will react if they manage to kidnap one of our own. We must take precautions. If the heir of the Senju clan was to be kidnapped by Kumo, it will cause international havoc among the Shinobi world, especially in Hyokuni. Jeriah put his arm around his lover<unk>s shoulders and nodded. Sensei is right, Sunsunade. We are two of the sonin. It will be very hard to harm our child if both of us are there with him. But despite that, we still don't want them to attempt it as just a mere attempt will cause international disturbances that might trigger another war. That is something that neither the people or the village can handle right now. Jeriah nodded his head in agreement. After calming down and nodding her head, Sununade made the decision to try to figure out a solution. So, we should hide that fact that I am pregnant. Aday's sensei said, "As much as I don't want to, I am afraid that it is the most simple and effective way." Jeriah sat down to think and said, "That would be a very hard thing to do if we are still in the village. The villagers do not know that we are trying to hide the fact that Sununade is pregnant." The Inuzuka and Hayuka will be able to tell by their noses and eyes that Sununade is pregnant. They will just think that she is hiding it from her friends or the village as a surprise, but not to prevent a crisis. There will be nothing holding back the gossip and rumors that will begin to float around the village. The rumor will also spread like wildfire. Ever since last month, a lot of people have seen to two of together. It is no longer a surprise that we are dating. The people will spread the news that we are having a baby because they will be very happy if that is true. Our baby will be the heir of two sonins and the Senju clan. Jeriah's hasty conclusion enlightened sununade and Serbi. It was very straightforward. The villagers will continue to spread rumors because they are unaware of the consequences of their actions. We also can't just tell the Inuzuka or the Haugan heads about our situation because that means they will have to tell their clan about the pregnancy. Stopping a rumor is nowhere near as hard as trying to prevent a leak of a secret that over 500 people knows about. Jeriah put on a decisive expression and gazed fixitly at his sensei and lover. Jeriah's statement, "Sunady and I must leave the village until our baby is born. maybe even longer shock the other two people in the room. It will not solve the whole problem, but it will prevent the Inuzuka and Hayuka from finding out about the pregnancy, thus eliminating the treat of rumors and therefore stopping the Kumo spies from pay attention to us. We can decide what to do regarding Kumo when we come back to the village after the baby is born because then Sununade will be able to fight without any restraint and the baby could be hidden within the village if need be. No, exclaimed the feeling glaring at her affectionate partner. Jeriah will not hide our baby from the world and have him or her live a life of isolation. If that is what it means if we stay in the village, then we will raise the baby outside the village. Saru Toby nodded, indicating that he was in favor of the plan. So, the hiding will only be temporary, but if need be, we would have to raise the baby outside of the village. That will solve all the problems for our baby. Konaha will in a sense lose the two surviving Sanin, but it will still be preferable to losing the Senju air. That idea is applicable. You two can be classified as doing a long-term mission assigned by me personally. Your family can return to the village once the threat has gone or your child is capable of defending himself. The sandame responded rationally. Assunade put it. Sensei Konaha is the strongest shinobi village in the elemental nations. Why the [ __ ] are we running away from a mere threat by Kumu? Unexpectedly, Jeriah was the one who responded. Seru Tobi was very proud of Jeriah at the time and his words were those of a Hokag. He couldn't help but regret that he paid more attention to the traitorous snake than the fine shinobi. Such Chan, it doesn't matter who is the stronger village. Just because Kumo is being unreasonable and irresponsible, it doesn't mean that we have the right to do the same thing. This whole situation can cause the fourth Shinobi World War. They couldn't be so self-centered, Sununade said grudgingly as she nodded in response to Jeriah's response. If they started a war and put the villages safety in danger for their own gain, her ancestors would be rolling in their graves. We still have a few weeks before the symptoms of my pregnancy will show. So, we still have time to think about this. But we cannot let Kumo step on us over and over again. We must find a way to stop them and retaliate. Jeriah and Serbi nodded in agreement. But if we are going to be away from the village during my pregnancy, there is a safe place that we can go. Jeriah asked in confusion. Where is that? He had just been considering the same thing moments before and could already think of a place that was safer than Konaha. We can go to where my Ba Chan is right now. Usuzu Nounkuni. On the shores of H High Nokuni lies a small nation called Uzu Nouni. Usuzu Shioakir, a formidable shinobi village in the elemental nations was formerly located on the small island. Its ninja were among the most feared shinobi in the world because of their fa injutsu which was highly regarded. The Uzumaki clan, distant relatives of the Senju clan, was the vill's dominant Shinobi clan. After Konaha was established, the Sham Hokag even wed Uzumaki woman, which further cemented Konaha's bond with Usuzu Shioakir. The woman was not just any Uzumaki. She was Uzumakimito, a well-known clan prodigy and the daughter of the clan head. Additionally, Uzuaki Mito gave the Shamm the advantage over Uchiah Matera in their battle. The Senju and Uiha leaders were nearly equal in strength at the time of the apocalyptic battle with the Showdams advantage being a narrow one. Moa chose to use his trump card after realizing that the odds were not in his favor. He called forth the Kaobi Nokitsun, the strongest Beiju of all. The beast's power was apocalyptic, and it was truly amazing. It could send tsunamis to the coasts and level mountains and valleys with a single swipe of its tail. As the most formidable shinobi of his era, the Shoai of Konaha demonstrated his strength by defeating Uchiha Matera and seizing control of the Kaobi during the conflict. The man's wool of fire had endured the battle and lessened the animosity stoked by the Uchiah. But it took everything he had. Despite the defeat of the Uchia man, Hashiama still had to contend with the Kaubi, which will eventually awaken from the slumber the Shoai had put it in. Knowing that she needed to assist her husband, Mito used the shisha in to seal the Kaobi inside of her while it was unconscious. Establishing and becoming the Kaobi's first Juniki. After the Beiju was sealed, the crisis was at last over, but it left scars. The Valley of the End is what future generations will refer to as the shattered region where the battle took place. A location where a river never stops flowing, symbolizing the never-ending conflicts. The elemental nations were then gradually establishing several nations, each with its own shinobi villages. Usuzu nouni, their namesake, is where the Uzumaki built their village. Despite living in two different countries, Konaha and Usuzu maintained a close relationship. Even their shinobi flag jackets and the Uzu symbol were part of Konaha's shinobi symbol. Because of their proficiency with Fuenjutsu, Iwagakir and Kumogakir targeted us shioakir during the second shinobi world war. In the end, the two countries destroyed it. The village's survivors were dispersed throughout the world, trapped in purgatory for all eternity. Usuzuakir earned the moniker, the village of longevity, due to the renownedly long lifespans of its residents. This was also true of Mito Uzumaki, who was born with a natural force that was further enhanced by her status as the Kaobi Juniki. Mito had remained in Konaha after her husband passed away, caring for her kids and then her grandkids. The loss of her son and daughter-in-law had devastated Mito who loved her family dearly. They had to leave their kids behind while they were still very young. At the time, Nwaki was just a toddler andsunade was a recently instated Jennon. Their only remaining family was Mido. Naturally, she was extremely proud of her granddaughter after she distinguished herself during the war. However, Noaki's passing was the final blow she could withstand. When he passed away, Nwoki was just a jennon, but he had many goals and aspirations that she firmly thought he would achieve. She made the decision to travel to her now destroyed homeland after deciding she had to leave Konaha. Serbi still had a great deal of respect for his sensei's wife. So, he finally allowed her to go even though the sandame really didn't want her to go because she was a significant figure in Konaha. Thus, Uzu Makio returns to Uzu Nounkuni after more than 50 years. Jeriah and Sununade were strolling silently through the village. Each of them considers a solution that would benefit everyone in the current circumstance. Usuzu nouni would be a very safe place. Sununade knew. Although it wasn't totally accurate, everyone in the elemental nations believed that Uzu Shioakir had been destroyed. Her grandmother Uzuaki Mito set out to locate the ruins of Usuzu Shioakir approximately 15 years ago. She had written tossade with the details of her discovery. Sununade was shocked to learn that there were survivors when she read the letter. Although Sununade assumed that everyone had fled from Uzu Nouni, she was always aware that the Uzumaki were still alive. The village was largely destroyed, but one Uzuumaki family managed to survive the fighting and remained in the village attempting to rebuild their house. According to her grandmother's letter, there were just four members of the family. their son and his fianca copyrighty, a mother and father. They survived because they were protected by some large debris that concealed them from view and wasn't heavy enough to kill them. The parents were retired shinobi who were too old to fight in the war. The two younger ones were experienced uzu jan. They had bravely fought on the front lines and their survival was a miracle. They both attempted to protect themselves from the blast when Akumo Shinobi launched an a rank raiden jutsu directly at them. As a result, they both took the hit and divided the jutsu's damage equally between them. Although the damage spread was insufficient to kill them, it did temporarily incapacitate them. The enemy assumed the two were dead and proceeded to hunt down additional Uzu Shinobi. Sadly, the two had sustained severe chakra network damage from the Jutsu's Raiden chakra, making it impossible for them to ever shape Chakra again. The remaining Uzuaki set up a seal to detect Mito when she reached the destroyed village. A family that was prepared for battle met her in a matter of minutes. The two Jonan were still able to practice some fuanjutsu and the older couple still possessed some of their best abilities even though they were unable to use chakra. The Uzumakis were thrilled to learn that there were still Uzumakis who were prepared to support their homeland after she calmed down and introduced herself. Attempting to preserve what remained of their culture and Fuenjutsu. Mido had already spent more than 15 years in Uzu. Jeriah and the Sandame were both aware that Sununade would be safe giving birth in Uzu because in addition to the fact that it was a safe location, she would also have Uzu Makimito nearby to support her in the event of an emergency. Sununade was confident that her grandmother would be ecstatic to learn that her beautiful granddaughter was expecting a child and would be happy to welcome her in Jera. In addition, Sununade herself was missing her grandmother a lot. Her grandmother raised her in Noaki after her parents passed away and she will always remember Midito as that kind and gentle person. Sununade whispered, "Jeriaakun, I think we should go to Uzu Nouni during my pregnancy, being careful not to be overheard." Usuzu Nouni is definitely the number one choice at the moment. Jeriah replied matterof factly, nodding. Jeriah's expression lightened as she said, "It would also be great if your grandma would get to meet her great grandchild." Sununade gave a nod as Jeriah. He we must leave Konaha during your pregnancy. That much we know. Until we establish enough power that will intimidate Kumo, we must not allow an internation dispute to happen between us. Okay, let's go to Uzu Nouni. Yesterday, Serbi, Jeriah, andSunady sent a messenger bird to Uzu Nouni. Since the flight to Uzu Nounkuni only takes one day, it should be reaching its destination very soon. Only relative could open the letter because it was sealed with her blood. Jeriah andsunade had already packed and prepared to depart. They are merely awaiting a response. The Sandame also created a mission file in which he stated that he is giving Senjuad and Namakazi Jeriah an S-rank long-term mission that depending on the situation could take anywhere from 1 year to four years. The extra 3 years will remove any unexpected dangers that might arise with regard to the Senju air. Even though the hokag initially didn't want two of the surviving sonin to leave the village for that longsunade's pregnancy is only known to a small population in the village. Only the hokage kakashi and shazoon are aware excluding Jeriah andsunade. The hokag had gotten in touch with Kakashi and Shazoon and instructed them to conceal their pregnancy. Shazuins, who was the one to confirm the pregnancy, was not shocked to learn that a baby was born, but she was educated about the risks the child would face if his identity was revealed. On the other hand, Kakashi was shocked to learn that his father andsunade were expecting a child so quickly. He was thrilled that the child would be his younger sibling, something he had always desired, but he was also disappointed that he would not be able to accompany them to Uzu Nouni. Highlevel shinobi are desperately needed in the village right now to frighten off possible adversaries and complete high ranking missions to demonstrate to the outside world that they are still strong. Even though it was only for 4 years, Kakashi didn't want to lose his family again. Even though he knew it was his responsibility as a Konaha Shashobi to remain in the village, leaving Kakashi alone in the village made Jeriah uneasy as well. But he knew there was no other option. Kakashi and his relationship developed into a genuine father-son bond. They frequently trained together and exchanged ideas. Occasionally, Kakashi would confide in Jeriah about the stress and strain he was under from his frequent ambu missions. Jeriah was very understanding and would offer wise counsel to his son. They both feared that as time passed, their relationship would worsen. Sununade was already asleep at 8:00 in the evening. She had a busy day because she had to give the current hospital staff a lot of new tasks to complete in order for them to replace her. in the hopes that Shazoon would continue to advance as a medical ninja. She also left Shazun a number of scrolls containing advanced medical njutsu that she had created. Atsunade's side, Jeriah was stroking her still flat stomach, which was hidden by a white night gown and brushing a stray hair away from her face. Despite having Kakashi and having looked after the three aimed children, Jeriah was thrilled about the baby because it would be his first time caring for a newborn. Being the heir of the Senju clan and the child of Tusanin, his child would surely be very powerful, making him the child of prophecy he has been searching for all his life. Sununade nudged Jeriah out of his revery, and he looked down to see his lover<unk>s stunning brown eyes staring back at him. He would never grow weary of staring into those eyes for the rest of his life. He actually desired to live out the rest of his days with Sununade. Sorry, did I wake you? Sununade smiled and leaned up to kiss him, saying, "Yes, but it's okay. I love waking up to you. Jeriah thought to himself, "I need to ask her now and returned the kiss." To Sununade's slight surprise, Jeriah broke the kiss and looked directly into her eyes. "Is there a problem, honey?" Chan, "Will you marry me when we get to Uzu Nouni?" Jeriah asked uneasily, a little scared of her response. "Is it because of the baby? Does he feel obliged to marry me?" thought vulnerably. "Is it because of the baby? Does he feel obliged to marry me? But after giving it some thought, she realized that Jeriah wouldn't want to marry her just because of the baby. He loves her and he would ask her no matter what. Looking back at Jeriah, she noticed that he had on a sad and regretful expression. And knowing that he might be worried that she would reject him, she blurted out, "Yes." Jeriah's intelligent reply was, "Huh?" The biggest smiles could manage, she said, "Yes, I would love to marry you, Jeriah." Jeriah's face lit up with a broad smile as he gave her a violent hug while yelling, "Yes, yes, yes." smiled and gave Jeriah another kiss, which relieved him of his high. She then slowly undressed and straddled his waist, saying, "And now this is for celebration and for you waking me up. For hours to come, their room would be filled with grunts and groans that would reverberate within its wall." Jeriah was the first to wake up the following morning and seeing that Sununade was still asleep, he chose to just lay there and think. Jeriah's thoughts turned to Kakashi and he realized that although the boy was strong physically, he was mentally fragile. He had to work very hard to open up to people after losing his biological parents and he had suffered a great blow when Obito died. Now that he had to be separated from his family, he might not be able to handle it. Knowing that he needed to speak with Kakashi, Jeriah made the decision to go to Kakashi's room. The picture of Kakashi's biological father, Sukumo, hugging his pregnant mother, Hitomo, was the only picture he had of his entire biological family because his mother died during childbirth. Kakashi was staring at the ceiling of his room, which was rather plain for a 14-year-old boy. The bedroom had light yellow walls with a number of pictures hanging on them, including pictures of Konaha and various scenes. Several bookshelves were stocked with bingo books and ninja scrolls, and he read Ichaicha Violence, a series of books written by his adopted father before he began daysunade nearly every night. He also found several adult magazines that he enjoys reading tucked away between encyclopedias. As he lay on his blue twin-sized bed, thinking about what his life would be like after Jeriah and Sununade left, Kakashi realized that he had made a lot more friends than he had in his entire life. Saratobi Isuma, Yui Kurani, and Shazun were all very pleasant to talk to. And despite his eccentricities, Maidai was a good friend and a good sparring partner. He had been enjoying living with his adopted family for the past month, which was the first time in his life that he had a complete family. But like all things, it must end. "Come in," Kakashi said in his newly relaxed tone. As soon as the door opened, Jeriah appeared. Kakashi instantly wiped all of his negative emotions from his face, but Jeriah was able to see a hint of his actual emotions. Jeriah said, "Hey, Gaki, how are you feeling?" in a kind tone. "I'm fine, Tusan." After a few weeks of calling Jeriah Tusan, Kakashi no longer felt as though he was betraying his biological father because he knew that his birth father would want him to start a family of his own. Even though he is a little annoyed that Kakashi is once again concealing his feelings for other people, Jeriah smiled when he heard Kakashi refer to him as his Tusan. Kakashi, I'm sorry. The man made Kakashi look up at him. I know it's a bad time to leave you alone in the village, but I want you to know that you will never be forgotten or unloved. As your father, I promise to always love and support you. And the same is true forsunady. She may not express it aloud, but she genuinely cares about and values you. and she truly enjoys being your mother figure. Jeriah was surprised to see Kakashi cry because he had never seen the boy cry before. But he was also relieved because tears will help release some repressed feelings of Kakashi. Is he serious? Maybe I won't lose this family after all. Kakashi thought and then he felt something wet drip down his face. The young man had not cried since the death of his father and he thought that crying was a sign of weakness and fragility. Jeriah approached Kakashi slowly to give him a fatherly hug. With a startling sense of relief, Kakashi nodded into his father's shoulder and said, "It's okay. You will always have a family. You have a father, a mother, and a soon-to-be brother or sister." After 5 minutes or so, Kakashi calmed down and they started chatting. And then Jeriah noticed some familiar side book covers of Icha violence. "Oh ho ho, what do we have here?" Jeriah teased as he approached the bookshelf to retrieve the books he had written. I see you are enjoying my beautiful masterpieces of art and seeing the condition of the books, you read them a lot, Kakashi said, his face burning as his father caught him reading those books. He tried to think of an excuse, but his masked mouth just moved up and down without saying anything. I I don't worry, Gaggy. It's common for children your age to be interested in this genre of literature. with a perverted smile that he hardly ever had anymore. Jeriah said, "It might be even worse for you because you get to look at those kunoichi in those tight form fitting amboo pants." "As a growing boy going through puberty with crazy hormones that appeared out of the blue," Kakashi sighed and gave up trying to find an excuse. "Yeah, I really like those books. By the way, are Kasumi and Nitsuki going to make it as lesbians?" "Okay, haha, I bet you really want to know if those hot lebs beauties would have sex, right? Jeriah said maintaining a straight face as he listened to Kakashi<unk>'s question before breaking into a grin and then bursting into laughter. Although disappointed that the Ichaicha series was cancelled, Kakashi was surprised that the books were based on his father's experiences. Well, I don't think I will continue these books anymore as I already have. And since most of the inspiration from the books are my personal experiences, I won't have any inspiration because I don't want your mother to kill me, he said, nodding angrily as he burned up. With an awe in his voice, the young man questioned, "You mean that the stories were based on your life?" "Oh yeah, I met some beautiful woman when I was traveling, he wow, you're the man, too, San, but it sucks that you can't continue the series." With a detached expression, Jeriah said, "It is true that I like writing, especially those books, butsunade is all I need for the rest of my life. You would understand when you find that special girl of your life." His face then broke into a smile as he went on. "Hey, I got an idea. How about you continue the series for me?" As he heard his father's words, Kakashi choked on his own spittle. "What? Yeah, I am sure that you will have your own stories to tell as you work in Ambu. After all, there is nothing like adrenaline-filled mission as foreplay, right? Laughed the man. I will contact my publisher about you tomorrow. Oh, you are going to do great. Wait, Tan, are you sure? Yes. In the end, Kakashi accepted Jeriah's offer. Personally, he was thrilled about it. He had always enjoyed the fairer sex, but had never really looked for a girlfriend. Additionally, he has become somewhat of an inner pervert since being adopted by the former super pervert. Despite his pervert tendencies, he has a great deal of respect for women and does not want to use them the way some men do. Because he didn't want to play with her feelings and didn't really see Ren that way, he was able to date her. For research purposes, he might begin flirting with some of the girls he liked starting tomorrow. Mito Uzumaki lived in a modest home that she and her surviving family members jointly constructed. Hiko and Hikari Uzumaki are the names of the older couple, and Hiroshi Uzumaki, their son, married Tommo Uzumaki. They were able to retrieve the majority of Uzu Shioir's scrolls and jutsu during their 15 years together. Hioko passed away from old age at the age of 77 approximately 10 years ago and Hikari followed a few months later at the age of 75. Since Hiroshi and Tommo were members of the Uzumaki clan, they ought to be longived and possess a strong life force. Unfortunately, their lifespans were significantly shortened after being struck by the Raiden jutsu that destroyed their chakra network. Tommo was taken a few days ago after giving birth to a healthy girl, and Hiroshi passed away naturally a few months ago. Tommo apparently only had enough willpower to last until giving birth, but she used it all up during the birthing process, and she passed away just moments after seeing her gorgeous daughter. Before they passed away, they both came up with the names Kusha and Uzumaki Kusha for the baby girl. The infant already had a pair of stunning violet eyes, pale skin, and hints of Uzumaki's red hair. Midito immediately accepted the task of caring for Kusha after they left her in their care. But she knew she wouldn't live long enough to see the girl grow up and that she would have to return to Konaha. As Usuzuaki Mito prepared to pack up her things and leave for Konaha, she felt something approaching while holding little Kasha in her arms. She waited for the object to appear while standing on guard. And when she realized it was a messenger bird, she relaxed. Since she hadn't heard from Sununade in a few years, she was also shocked to learn that it was from her granddaughter. Thinking it might be an emergency, the elder opened the attached letter quickly. She swiftly wiped some of her blood over the seal. Surprised once more to find it was sealed with a blood seal. When she finally got her hands on the letter, she started reading it. A smile appeared on her face and it only grew bigger as she read it. When she finally realized that Sununade and Jeriah were expecting a baby, she was overjoyed. Knowing that Jeriah genuinely loved her granddaughter and would soon have a great grandchild, she had always wished for the two to be together. To make matters worse, they wanted to visit Uzu while pregnant, despite the fact that it was dangerous. Midito was thrilled that Sunsade would visit Uzu. Since Sununade was arriving, Midito could tell her to bring more supplies and resources so they could stay a little longer. In all honesty, Midito did not want to leave Uzu, but she had to for Kusha's sake. Kusha began to laugh at her surrogate great-g grandandmother as if noticing her joy, which made her appear even cuter. As she came up with a response for Konaha, Mito happily said to the infant, "Oh, Kushi Chan is also happy, right? You are going to be great friends with Sunsade Chan's baby. Since she was still the clan head, Mito granted them access to the Senju clan account after she expressed her desire to have her granddaughter live with her once more and her need for additional supplies and resources. While she waited anxiously for her granddaughter and grandson-in-law to arrive, she attached the message to the Konaha messenger bird and let it fly back to Konaha. Su Toby was in his office pondering. There were multiple three-ft tall piles of paperwork on his desk. The civilian council learned of Jeriah and Sununade's long-term assignment on that day, but the Hokag typically only receives one stack of paper that high in a single day. The Hokag and the Shinobi Council had always had a lot of trouble with the civilian council. Civilians have played a significant role in Konaha's society ever since it was established as a shinobi village. The civilian council was established because the village would need to take into consideration the opinions of the civilians who make up more than half of Konaha's population. Initially, the civilian council could only participate in issues that directly affected the village's civil affairs. That has changed since the second shinobi world war when the village was constantly in turmoil due to the unexpected deaths of multiple clan heads. Senju Tobber, the Naidame Hokag, was compelled to grant the civil council additional authority so that they could assist in managing the village's internal affairs during the Shinobi war. The Konaha Shinobi clans took a long time to recover from the war. The civilian council had more than enough time to find ways to keep their hold on power by creating excuses and openings. 50 years have passed and the civilian council has grown increasingly corrupt and powerful to the point where they can now control the entire Konaha economy at will, stopping all Shinobi wages and payments. They have even figured out how to make money using Konaha's shinobi. Throughout the lands, the Sanin are regarded as cage level shinobi. Several adversaries have decided not to attack Konaha because of the sanin. Many daimo and minor village leaders would pay a considerable sum of money to hire any sanin because of their reputation. The hokag was buried in paperwork for the same reason. In order to help some daimo or leaders submit their mission request directly to the mission assigning faculty for a sizable sum of money, the members of the civilian council would use their influence in Konaha. The demand amongst the council members increased when Jeriah andSunade were the only ones left to assign missions to following Orochimaru's defection. Conflicts had already arisen between a number of civilian families who hold civilian council seats. As a result, due to their heavy spending habits, which they developed during their time of wealth, the civilian council members will no longer be able to maintain their regular cash flow. Now that the Hokag has assigned the two surviving Sanin on a long-term mission, this could lead to the ruin of several families. Even though Konaha had to deal with mountains of paperwork, the entire situation had actually helped the island nation. Konaha would soon have a Senju clan heir who could potentially bring the Senju clan back to the city. The civilian council would also lose a significant amount of its financial clout, making them open to attacks by the Shinobi Council and Hokag, who could regain some of their power if they are successful. Hikari's knock on his office door interrupted Siruti as he was reluctantly going through his paperwork. The sandame beckoned her in and exhaled in relief. Hokag sama. I received this scroll from the messaging department. It was carried back by your personal carrier, said Hikari. As he is given the note, Saru Tobi exhales nervously. Serbi waited until his assistant was outside before carefully opening the envelope and saying, "Okay, thank you, Hikari Chan. You are dismissed." He hasn't even heard from his sensei's wife in over 15 years. As Serbi started reading the letter that was affixed to the scroll, he became extremely happy that Midito had been able to reconstruct a portion of Uzu Shioakir and had even formed a relationship with the survivors even though they had passed away too soon. At the end of the letter, he expressed his satisfaction that Midito had accepted their proposal to get Jeriah andsunade back. Serbi dispatched a few anu at Ichiaku Ramen, a recently opened ramen shop. Sununade, Jeriah, Shazun, and Kakashi were enjoying a pleasant meal together. Tui, the proprietor, was a gregarious and amiable man who would encourage patrons to come back. As he continued to slurp the broth, Jeriah remarked, "I have to admit, Tui, your ramen is unquestionably the best ramen I've ever had." "The noodles and broth are both complimenting each other perfectly. Truly amazing." "Yes, I agree. I am usually not a fan of ramen because of the oily broth, but your ramen is very light and your broth is very refreshing." Sununade replied with a grin. I will definitely come back for more. Shazun and Kakashi nodded in agreement as the soning was completed. Tui grinned and said,"Thank you for your kind compliments, Jeriah sama, Sununade sama. I am very glad that such famous shinobi like yourselves enjoy my food." As the four patrons finished their ramen, they simply grinned. Behindsade and Jeriah, a few unexpected chakra signatures appeared. In retrospect, they discovered that an ambu team was searching for them. Jeriah sama, sama, Hokag sama has requested your audience. It's<unk> safe to assume that Sununade and Jeriah were referring to Usuzu Shioakirs response. The Anbu team nodded and departed to which Sununade replied, "Hi, we will be there shortly." Shazun and Kakashi were left alone after the two soning paid for their meals and departed for the Hokag office. As Shazun watched her sensei and her sensei's fianca copyright depart, she let out a sigh and abruptly adopted a somber expression. It was reasonable for her to believe that the meeting was about their leave. Shazun felt excluded even though she was aware that the Tusan's best option was to leave the village. Over the years, Sununade has taken on the role of mother to her and she doesn't want to be alone ever again. Are you okay, Shazun? Kakashi asks after noticing Shazun<unk>s abrupt change in mid. Shazun gave the ambu member a quick glance before hesitatingly answering. I just feel like that I am losing my family all over again. Shazun responded solemnly as she looked away from Kakashi with a sigh. Kakashi touched the girl's shoulder. Shazun, I know exactly how you feel. Jeriah has become a full father figure for me and I also feel like I am losing my family right now. But Tusan reminded me that we will never be alone. They will return in a few years. They will not forget us or stop loving us. So you don't have to worry. Shazun chose to communicate her emotions more even though she felt better after hearing his words. Shazun<unk>s eyes filled with tears as she expressed her feelings. Thank you, Kakashi. But I still don't like being alone for the few years. It makes it even worse when I'm all alone in my home. With no one there to welcome my return or ushering my goodbye. When Shazun felt someone put their arms around her body, she stopped crying. Shazun blushed as she looked up and saw that Kakashi was embracing her, temporarily erasing her sadness. "Kakashi is hugging me," she said. Shazun began to pant as she held on to the boy's uniform and allowed him to continue hugging her. Shazun and Kakashi had spent more time together over the years, primarily on missions where she served as the team's medic. She must confess that she was drawn to him because she had healed him several times. Shazoom, you still have your friends. I can tell you from experience that it is not good to keep someone's emotions at arms length. Doing that would just slowly put one further into their own loneliness. Kakashi unexpectedly had a plan. Kakashi nervously drew Shazun<unk>s attention asking um Shazoon how about you move I in with Emmy Kakashi concluded looking apprehensive. Shazun would have had a million guesses but she would never have guessed that. So to say she was shocked would be an understatement. I have no ulterior motives. I just thought that the both of us could benefit from this. It would seem like that we are still living with family. I would be there to welcome you home say tell you goodbye and you could do the same for me. Kakashi replied. So, how about it? Shazun was thinking about what it would mean to live with Kakashi. It would be preferable to living alone in that large apartment. Even though there may be some rumors that start indeed, Kakashi was correct since their relationship now resembled that of a brother and sister. It would be like living with family once more. The two teenagers realized they were still hugging each other at that point. I might need to think this over, but I like I would really like it if we lived together. They split up faster than lightning. Shazun with a tomato-like face and Kakashi with a slight flush. Tui may have heard what the two shinobi had to say because he was grinning as he gazed at them. The young Anbu cleared his throat and got to his feet. Kakashi said, "I have a mission. I<unk>ll see you later. Okay." As Kakashi used Shanhen to exit the area, a red Shazun whispered, "Hi." With a gentle smile on her face. About 10 minutes ago, Jeriah and Sununade had reached the Hokag office. The letter Midito had sent them was shown to them both by the Hokag during that period. Thatsunade was correct that Mido would be delighted to have them made Jeriah very happy. The deaths of the few Uzumaki survivors also caught him off guard. It is unfortunate that such a strong clan has declined to such small numbers. Uzzumaki, Mito, and Kasha were the only remnants of the pure-blood Uzumaki. was only partially Uzumaki, as was their child. The loss of some of her surviving family members saddened Sununade. However, she was also very happy that Kosa was born prior to her mother's passing. This suggests that the Uzumaki clan had a chance to live and Kosa could be a wonderful friend to her child. Sensei, how much time would it take for you to gather to resources Mido Sama needs? Jeriah responded. It would take one day for me to gather the food and raw materials so you two can leave the day after tomorrow. Hi, we will leave the day after tomorrow. Then dismissed, Jeriah and Sununade nodded and made their way to the door. As he walked away, Jeriah said, "Enjoy your paperwork, Sensei." Which caused Sununade to laugh and Serbi to frown. After receiving Midito<unk>'s letter a day ago, Sununade and Jeriah had gathered all the materials Mido had asked for. It was much simpler to travel because Jeriah had sealed all the material into different scrolls. Jeriah and Sununade were both quite looking forward to the trip. After many years, Sununade would finally get to see her cherished grandmother and travel to Uzu Shioakir. Because their baby was due during this trip, Jeriah was also overjoyed. Officially, they would be a family. As an orphan himself, Jeriah had always longed for a family of his own, and now he would have it. For the ensuing years, Jeriahs, Sununade, Shazun, and Kakashi were spending their final moments together. When Kakashi informed the two Sanin that Shazun would be moving in with him, they were shocked. Despite Kakashi's explanation, Jeriah continued to tease him mercilessly. Be sure to use protection or don't do anything I wouldn't are examples of such statements. by threatening to castrate him with a spoon if she had become a surrogate grandmother by the time she returned. Sununade also made sure he didn't do anything inappropriate to her surrogate daughter. Naturally, Shazun just stayed silent and blushed at their words the entire time they were speaking. The moment had finally arrived for the Tusanin to depart. After embracing Shazun and Kakashi, they embarked on their quest to reach Uzu Nouni. Kakashi prayed, "Come back safely and soon Tusan Kaan." Shazun prayed, "I hope you have a healthy and happy baby, sununade sama." Jariah andsunade have been out of Konaha for 36 hours now. Most people, including most shinobi, would only see a blur or a whiz of sound when they passed them because they had traveled at full speed. They were traveling at a high speed because they could not afford to be noticed or in any way let anyone follow them. Usuzuogier's continued existence was a highly significant secret because should it be known, numerous shinobi villages from different countries would attempt to either completely destroy it or steal any surviving njutsu or fuenjutsu scrolls. How much longer will it be until we arrive Chan? Jeriah responded. Looked at the map and said, "Based on the map, we should reach the borders of Uzu Nounkuni very soon. It is difficult to determine the precise location of the recovered portion of the village because the map the two are using is merely a simple geological map that is frequently found and used. Despite the protection seal she applied, Mito was unable to include a map in her letter because she didn't want to run the risk of it being intercepted. The letter contained a plan that Mito had encrypted. I have a special ability to sense other people's emotions, she explained. It was the pinnacle of chakra sensing. Mito can sense Jeriah and Sununade's presence and will come out to welcome them back to the village when they within 10 mi of Uzu Shiobakir. Jeriah and Sununade were gazing out over the horizon which displayed numerous islands in the enormous Uzu nouni body of water. Abruptly, a line of the horizon was obscured by a shadow. The shadow changed more and more into a human shape as it approached the mainland. As that Jeriah asked, her eyes narrowed. As the shadow lightened, it revealed long white hair trailing behind the individual. Eventually, the person's face was exposed, revealing Uzuaki Mito with a kind grin. The face of the woman who had raised Sununade for the majority of her adolescence and taught her everything she knew about Fuenjutsu would always be in her memory. Grandma must have missed her, and the sonin felt a little bad for allowing her to live alone in Uzu for so long. The cry baa chan came from sununade as she rushed to embrace Mito. Grinning, the uzumaki leader welcomed her young daughter into her arms. Mito gave sununade a motherly embrace and said, "It is great to see you too, Su Chan." The old woman patteds head as she used to do when her granddaughter was a young child, whispering, "Oh, I missed you, honey." Jeriah smiled as he approached the two, and the man bowed and said, "It is great to see you again, Mido Sama." Oh, Jeriah Chan, just call me Ba Chan like Zu Chan. We are family now. Mito broke the embrace with her granddaughter as she turned to face Jeriah. The three of them grinned together before Mito led the way to the village. The three ninjas navigated Uzu Nouni's numerous islands by water. They're getting closer to the nation's epicenter. Soon after, the group arrived at a sizable island in the center of the numerous nearby islands. It is surrounded by tall stone walls that act as a natural barrier. This is Usuzu Shiobakir. In the lower center of the wall is a huge gate. As Jeriahs, Sununade, and Mido approached the gate, the two sonin observed that a highly intricate security seal was in place to keep outsiders from opening it. As he examined the seal, Jeriah exclaimed in amazement, "This is an incredible protection seal. I've never seen so many layers of protection." Although he was a seal master by Konaha standards, this level of fujutsu was far above his level. This is the key to the village. And on this scroll is the method to unlock each layer of the seal that has been ordered specifically to match the seal on the village gate. Mido grinned as she responded by overlapping so many seals to complement each other. It is no longer a protection seal and it is a lock. Mito put the scroll on the ground while adding some chakra to it. The scrolls seal began to separate from the paper, then gradually moved and affixed itself to the gate seal. Like a lock and a key, the two seals started to overlap and fit perfectly. The gate slowly opened itself as the whole thing started to glow blue. Sununade and Jeriah tried to look into the village as they waited tensely for the gate to open. When the Tanin saw the condition of the village, they were taken aback. Fully blossomed Sakura trees and other plant life adorned most of the area and all the ruins that should have been scattered around it were removed. The area's outer rim was dotted with farmlands and cattle drives. And in the center of the village stood a structure that resembled the Senju clan compound almost exactly. The main residence consists of a two-story Japanese-style complex painted a light brown color. At every corner of the compound are a number of smaller homes built in a similar style. The compound's yard was covered with a beautifully designed pond. The water was crystal clear and teameming with koiish, which caused the water to dance with a variety of colors. A stone bridge connected the two sides of the large pond, which was surrounded by soccer trees and flower beds. On the opposite side of the pond is a large gazebo. A stunned sununade exclaimed. Wow, Baan. How did you guys manage to do this by yourselves? The few of us easily moved the ruins of the city various seals. We simply applied a large-scale storage seal to seal the rubble, then disposed of it. But before we did all that, we did salvage what we could in the remains of Uzu Shioakir. In the end, we managed to locate most of our jutsu. This compound was built using the resources from the ruins. And as you might have noticed, I designed it almost exactly like our home in Konam. Jeriah and Sununade listened intently. We didn't know much about construction, so we casted a highle jenjutsu on some carpenters and construction workers to make them think that they are building this compound in Nami Nounkuni and hired them to build this compound. Finished mito as the three of them entered the property. The compound was shown to Jeriah and despite its size, every available space was used effectively. Numerous training dojoos were dispersed throughout the interior, and there was a large library with the Uzumaki scrolls. The location's overarching theme was traditional Japanese architecture. Since the compound was entirely constructed of wood, Mito chose not to have most of it painted in order to create a momento of her ex-husband, Hashiama. After arriving at the main living building, the three of them searched the rooms. The two Sanin selected one at the end of the hallway with its own balcony, big windows, spacious closet, and bathroom. The room was big enough. To their delight, there was a lovely yellow crib with a soft little mattress on it and small animals sewn into it. In addition to a king-sized bed that was affixed to the back wall in the center of the room, grinned and said, "Boach, that is a lovely crib. I know our child would love it. Thank you. This is the second one I've made this year," Mido said, pleased that they liked the crib. "You're welcome, dear. I made the crib myself." Jeriah recalled. Oh, yes. I almost forgot. There is the Uzu Maki Aerys. Yes, would you two like to see her? The couple nodded with a smile, wanting to see the baby girl. Midito led them to her own room, which was almost exactly like their room. Also, on the side of Mido's bed was a similar crib, only this one was red with an overall feminine feel. Inside the crib was an adorable baby. She had beautiful shining violet eyes. Signs of Uzumaki red hair decorated her head. She was wearing a little pink whole body outfit that looked very cozy and warm. Oh, Kushi Chan, you woke up already. You usually sleep much longer. You would like to meet our other guests as well. As Kusha giggled sweetly, Mitoud the thought, she is beautiful. As she smiled down at the infant girl as sununade slowly made her way to the crib. Bachchan, may I hold her? At her granddaughter, Mido nodded and said, "Of course you can, Su Chan." Midito nodded and sununade scooped the girl into her arms. Kasha<unk>s expression of bewilderment made her look even cuter. Hello Kushi Chan. Oh, you are so cute. Cooed as she rubbed her face against Kasha's. Jeriah grinned as he walked over to his fianca copyright and looked at the baby. He knew that Sununade would make a wonderful mother. When Kasha looked up at Jeriah, she started to giggle and reached for his white hair. grinned as she gave the baby to Jeriah who happily accepted the little bundle. Kusha grabbed his hair as Jeriah hugged her already feeling a connection to the precious girl. After grinning at her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Mito decided to voice her concerns. Jeriahs, she said solemnly, causing the other two to turn to stare at her in interest. As you are aware, Kasha<unk>s parents had already died, and I won't be able to care for her for very long at my advanced age. Is it possible for you two to adopt her as your daughter? Although Sununade and Jeriah were aware that the girl's parents had passed away, they had never considered adopting her. Sununade looked down at the adorable baby girl in her fianca copyright s arms, feeling a connection to her immediately as she held her and they were technique related. She looked at Jeriah in silence, seeking his opinion. When Jeriah noticed the expression gave him, he began to think about him. Kusha was still holding on to his body and grasping his hair, already falling asleep. And he smiled, saying, "I would love to have her as our daughter." He turned back to Sununade and nodded. And the two turned back to Mido. Both of them grinning from ear to ear. Mito grinned, so happy that Kusha would grow up with a whole family. Sununade gazed down at her new daughter, Kushi Chan. Can you say Ka Chan? Kasha just chuckled and started to grab her new mom. Eight months of time, Skipsunade was sitting on her room's balcony, holding Kasha to her chest as she breastfed her. Ever since she became pregnant, she started to produce breast milk. So, ever since she adopted Kasha, she has been feeding her. Of course, Jeriah remarked that she has enough to feed Kasha, their child, and occasionally him. It was a lovely morning at Usuzu Shioakir with birds singing, winds blowing to the Sakura leaves on the trees, and distant sounds of the waves adorned the morning air. she said cheerfully to her daughter. "You sure are hungry today, Kushi Chan." Instead of responding, Kusha simply gazed at her mother with her large, sparkling violet eyes. And if Sununade wasn't in a comfortable position and wasn't 9 months pregnant, she would give the adorable girl a hug. The girl was the cutest baby, full of energy during the day and a sweet little angel at night. For Kasha, being a mother brought back memories of her younger brother's life. Noaki wasn't much younger than her, but he was one of the most childish people she had ever met. He was essentially a big baby. The past 8 months have been the happiest days of Sununade's life. She had assumed that living on this remote island would be dull, but it was actually quite the opposite. She and Midito would frequently spend time together cooking and training, and it was good to see her grandmother again. Sununade had not been this close to nature in a long time. She had grown accustomed to the bustling streets of Konaha and the bloody battlefields of war. Sununade's physical health had suffered during the pregnancy. She felt weaker and more tired than usual, but Jeriah had been incredibly helpful and supportive during these months. He had also formally proposed to her by getting her a beautiful ring made at Mount Mobuku, and he had been incredibly handsome at their wedding ceremony, which had been the happiest time of her life. That is the only people who mattered aside from their sensei. With a guest room converted into a medical room insunade due in a few days, she had already instructed Mito and Jeriah on how to handle her contractions. Su Chan, are you sure the morning wind wouldn't be harmful to the baby? Sununade asked as someone placed their chin on her head and wrapped their arms around her shoulders. Jeriaakun, once again, I am the best medic in the world. I made sure to make my pregnancy to be as safe and healthy as possible. Sununade said, laughing as she glanced over her shoulder to see her six-month husband. She then kissed him. "Hey, Kushi Chan, how is my princess doing today?" Jeriah asked as he scooped his daughter from Sununade, breaking the kiss to look down at his beloved daughter. Kasha saw her father and started chanting, "Da da da." Jeriah would frequently play with Kasha, change her diapers, and give her baths. Over the past few months, Jeriah had grown to love the little ball of energy. "Oh, she can almost say daddy," said an excited Jeriah, while a slightly irritated Sununade watched. As Jeriah concealed a smirk from his wife, Sununade complained. She can't even pronounce ma. A few months ago, Sununade decided to check the baby's gender, and the results showed that it was a boy. Oh, don't worry. Nar will probably say mommy first. Sununade had lost a wager once more. Officially, their child was Senju Narut. Sununade was having a pleasant conversation when she suddenly felt something strange. When she looked down, she saw that her water had just broken. With wide eyes, Sununade yelled, "Jeriah! My water just broke and seized her husband with haste. Jeriah's eyes widened in amusement as he processed the situation. Jeriah picked up Sununade gently and said, "Oh my Cammy, let's<unk> get to the medical room." He then made a cage bunch to locate Nito and hurried to the medic room. As soon as they arrived at the medical room, Jeriah placed Sununade down while she started timing her breathing and contractions. As instructed by his wife, Jeriah attacked Sununade via introvenous IV and started directing her breathing tempo. Mito was discovered in the garden by Jeriah's cage Bunchin who informed her of the urgent situation. "What?" exclaimed the old lady. As she used Shanhen to get there more quickly, Mito yelled, "Okay, then let's<unk> get going." Assunade prepared to expel her womb. Jeriah and Mito were by her side. Damn you, Jeriah. You did this to me. Jeriah is screaming in pain as his wife uses superhuman strength to crush his hand. He used chakra to strengthen his hand while stroking Sununade's face and coaching her breathing. Assunade began to push the baby out. Mito was in front of her vagina. Come on, Sununade Chan. Push. Exhaled, pushing each time, and the baby was finally emerging. Gritted her teeth in agony as she used up all of her remaining strength in a single push. And in an instant, Senju Narut was born. landing straight into his great-g grandandmother's arms. Come on, Sununade Chan. The head is already out. Just a few more seconds. Looking down at the newborn, Mito was ecstatic. Life was a true miracle. A whale of Wah was followed by the appearance of a boy with stunning blue eyes. It would be an understatement to say that Jeriah was thrilled. It was his first time seeing his own son, and he fell in love with the sobbing bundle right away. The boy was in good health. Midito saw that he weighed around 8 lb and that judging from his loud cries, he had a very strong set of lungs. Exhaled and said, "Let me s see him." Mido brought Narudo to his mother, grinning, and wrapped him in a small blue blanket. The infant stopped crying and raised his large blue eyes to gaze at his mother just as Mido gave him tossade. Assunade held her son close to her face and kissed his face a few times. Tears of happiness were streaming down her cheeks. Jeriah put his arm around his family while kneeling close to his wife and son. "Thank you, Sununadeheim." He whispered in her ear as he gave her a tender kiss on the lips. Jeriah waved it off by giving Sununade and Nar a tender embrace, clearly delighted that he now had a family of his own. Sununade returned her husband's kiss and touched his battered hand with a regrettable expression. Mito, who was overjoyed that had at last a happy family of her own, was also crying uncontrollably. She swiftly extracted a camera from a seal and snapped dozens of images of the new family. They ended up taking more than a hundred photos, including each member of their small but content family. Additionally, a picture of a sleeping Nar cuddling a sleeping Kasha in a crib served as the cover for their family album. Around the dinner table satsunade, Jeriah, Mito, and the two infants. Kasha was incredibly happy and energetic on her one-year birthday, especially when she had to blow out the candle. Nar had been born 6 months prior, and the two infants had been together ever since. The parents simply chose to place them in the same crib in Mido's room because Kusha would even start crying whenever Nar wasn't by her side while they slept. Both Kusha and Nar were seated next to each other in their own high chairs. They had just finished eating Kusha's birthday cake, and their cheeks were still covered in frosting. The two infants had nothing to do while the three adults ate and chatted. Narut looked at Kusha and giggled as she reached over to poke him in the small face. He clapped his little hands together and said, "He he ba ba ba." Kusha prodded his face once more, framing her face with her now shoulderlength red hair. Nar apparently took notice of Kusha's hair because he started to reach for it, fearing that Nar would tug Kusha's hair. Sununade was able to catch it and tried to stop him, but to her astonishment, Nar grabbed her hair and started playing with it. Narut, who had always thought the color red was very lovely, tangled Kusha's red hair around his little fingers. As she spoke, Sununade grinned and said, "Ah, look at that." Naru Chan likes Kushi Chan's hair. The mother thought the scene was cute. When Jeriah saw the scene, he couldn't help but be moved because he had never seen two babies so close to one another. At that age, babies typically lack the mental capacity to form friendships. Midito looked on with a hopeful expression from the sidelines. It would be like history repeating itself if the two infants who were the heir and he aires of the Senju and Uzumaki clans fell in love. It would be acceptable for them to get married even though they share parents because they are not blood relatives. Given that she and her spouse were also Uzuaki and Senju, it goes without saying that Mito was somewhat biased. Sununade has also considered the idea on multiple occasions. She knows that two babies shouldn't behave that way because she is an expert in human behavior and the human body. She also knows a lot about human development. The two infants appeared to be closer to one another than to their parents, which is unusual for two babies of similar ages to act territorially toward one another when it comes to the parents attention. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha was Kusha's response as her hair moved, tickling her face. She prevented Nar from tickling her face by grabbing his hands with her own small plump fingers. Since she no longer wanted Nar to tickle her, Kosa wouldn't let go of Naruto's hands as the two began to giggle. It didn't bother Nar that Kusha was holding his hand. It was so warm that he yawned and started to feel drowsy. Seeing an opening, Mito got up to pick up Nar and put him to bed. But before anyone could take him away, she made a cage bunchon to hold Kusha so she could carry both infants to bed while they were still holding hands. Sununade had a faint idea of what her Ba Chan was attempting to accomplish. While Jeriah was completely unaware of Midito's intentions, she didn't say that she was opposed to Narut and Kusha possibly dating in the future. In fact, she thought it would be fantastic if they did, with the Senju and Uzumaki clans joining together as the primary advantage. Midito held the two babies and said, "I'm going to put these two to bed first. It has been a long day for them." The married couple left the room as Mito began to walk up to her room. Okay, thank you Baan. I think we will turn in two, said a lustful Jeriah, attempting to speed up time so he can enjoy himself with his wife. Sununade nodded at her husband's words, pleased that her Ba Chan might use her own matchmaking plan and eager for a long night with her husband. Upon reaching her room, Mido placed Narut and Kusha in their crib and discovered that they were already asleep, both still holding each other's hand. Thinking this was very adorable and a positive sign, Mito started to take yet another ton of photos of her favorite subject. Mito was awakened from her beauty sleep by the joyful chirping of morning birds outside the compound, and she was shocked to discover that she had slept through the entire night. Normally, either Narut or Kasha would wake her from their sobbing, so she got up and went to the baby's crib to see how they were doing. Knowing the scene would make a great picture, Mido started taking dozens of pictures so she could choose the best one. She was pleasantly surprised to see that Narut and Kusha were still sleeping peacefully with small smiles on their faces and of course their hands were still connected. It also appeared that the two children had moved closer to each other in the middle of the night so their foreheads were lightly touching. The voice of Sununade jolted Mido out of her photo taking trance saying, "Hey Ba Chan." Taking pictures again with a hint of amusement. Mido softly murmured, "Oh, come over here Su Chan. They look so cute right now." so as not to wake the cute couple. Sununade looked more closely at her son and adopted daughter and couldn't help but smile at the beautiful sight. To test the waters, Sununade said, "Ba Chan, if they are not babies, I might think that you are trying to get them to be together." "Su Chan, as a medic of your caliber, you certainly see something different about those two. Normal babies wouldn't be this close to each other," said Mito while beaming at her two lovers. They might share the same parents, but they are not real siblings. So, there is nothing wrong if they are to love each other romantically. There is something different about these two, and I certainly would not mind if they were to date each other when they are older. But they are still babies. We are thinking at least 15 years ahead, even if they are to develop romantic feelings with each other," Sununade said, nodding in agreement with her Ba Chan's statement. Midito simply nodded her head, a little sad that she might not live long enough to witness the reunion of her two little darlings, but also aware that it would take a long time and that any pressure from her or the parents could backfire. After 5 years in the remote seclusion of the new Usuzair, Jeriah andsunade spent 5 years of peace, and it had been the happiest time of their lives. Two people were running around a training field with plenty of space around them. The sun shone warmly on the two kids playing tag with one another, and the birds were singing joyfully in the trees. The wind blew against the tree leaves, creating a gentle melody that added to the calm morning. It was a disconcerting fact that the two sonin had not gone on any missions for the past 5 years, which had never happened since they became ninja. Jeriah couldn't help but wonder about the situation of Konaha, considering that they were living in secret, and that the only correspondence between Konaha and Uzu had been one letter every 3 months. Parenthood was treating the two sonin quite well, and they were both thrilled to see their son and daughter grow and develop right in front of their eyes. The two sonin were thoroughly enjoying their new life of peace and solitude, and they were overjoyed that they would no longer have to fight in any wars, despite Konaha's minor concerns. The elderly Uzumaki had known her late husband since she was a girl, and at the age of eight, their two clans were celebrating a great battle, and it was the first time Mido danced with a boy. Uzzumaki Mido was also enjoying her incredibly long life with her family and she was thrilled that she would be spending her last years with her little Narut and Kusha. The young Senu and Uzumaki greatly reminded Mido of her own childhood with Hashiama. It was during a time of war and slaughter, so everyone was generally solemn and stressed all the time, but Hashiama had brought her inner happiness to the surface. Naruto's own happy personality reminded Mito of the Shoai Hokag and she hoped that her little greatgrandson would grow up to be a great person and ninja like his great-grandfather. At the time, the Camino No Shinobi was just a little boy and his cheerful personality really made Mido happy. The blonde woman was smiling as she nestled closer to her lover's chest, resting into her husband's body as they sat in a couple of lawn chairs and watched their kids play together. The female sonn laughed and remarked, "They sure are having a lot of fun." Yeah, but they play tag everyday. How are they not bored of it yet? Jeriah said, laughing and embracing his wife more tightly. Chuckled. Who cares about that? They are running so much everyday. It is basically training them for their future shinobi arts. Kasha had grown a lot over the past 5 years. She was now about 3 ft tall, which was typical for a young child her age, and she had long red hair that reached down to her lower back. Kusha was a joyful, vivaceious ball of sunshine who brought a lot of joy to her family. Her smile was so contagious that whenever she laughed or giggled, everyone around her, especially Nar smiled, too. Both Jeriah andsunade had brown eyes, but Nar had a pair of bright blue eyes that will light up the area. He got them from his paternal grandmother, and Jeriah loves them. The Senju air had also grown a lot in his first 5 years of life. His hair was wild and spiky like his father, but it was blonde like his mother. The boy's hair had grown to shoulder length with two twin bangs framing the Z's of his face, and he wore a small ponytail that was similar to his fathers. As is typical of a boy his age, Nar was an energetic and fun-loving child, just like Kusha, and the two had become best friends. Sununade and Jeriah had observed that Nar and Kusha were not acting like siblings should, but rather as best friends. They had never been competitive for their parents or great-g grandandmothers attention, nor had they ever been territorial toward one another. The two children would spend nearly every hour of the day together, almost like two pieces of a puzzle, completely inseparable. Remember that you were supposed to catch me, Narukun. Come on. As she turned back to face the boy, Kusha exclaimed. Nar grinned and said, "All right, Kushi Chan, here I am." As the son of Tusanin and a member of the renowned Senju clan, Naruto<unk>'s natural talent was expected, but occasionally his parents felt that it was a bit over the top. Sununade and Jera wanted their children to have a fun and peaceful childhood. So, they refrained from teaching Nar and Kusha too much. But they were still surprised at what Narut could already do, said the young boy as he ran as fast as he quickly caught up to Kusha. Jeriah had taught his two children how to activate their chakra and some basic sharutsu. Kusha had faced some typical challenges that most people face, but she had overcome them quickly. Nar, on the other hand, was completely different. He essentially absorbed the lessons like a fish in water, required no practice or even a second attempt, and used his shuriken to strike all the intended targets. There was also his chakra, which Nar will always remember and find amused at the faces his parents made when he first activated his chakra. Additionally, Nar had an insane amount of chakra for a four-year-old boy already comparable to a senior Jennan. Nar put his arms around Kusha and grinned, saying, "I caught you." As he gave his adopted sister a hug, the young boy exclaimed, pulling her back against Naruto's chest, Kasha sulped, "Aw, "You caught me again, Databane." She whimpered, crossing her arms. "I never beat you at anything." When the Senju boy heard Kosa<unk>s dejected voice, he frowned. Hey, don't be sad, Kushi Chan. Nar turned Kusha in his arms to face him, but she continued to frown. Come on, Kushi Chan. Smile, Narut said with a sudden smile. As he abruptly tickled Kusha<unk>s sides, the boy exclaimed as she attempted to wrigle out of Naruto's grasp. Kusha broke out in a string of giggles. "And Naru," she muttered, laughing and giggling. "Stop!" exclaimed the girl as she brushed Naruto<unk>'s hands away and wrapped her arms around him to hold him in place. That's cheating, Narukun. Gazing down into Kusha's violet eyes, Nar was also laughing ferociously. It doesn't matter. I made you laugh, didn't I? Though she was in a different field than Narut, Kusha was also a young child with talent. Like most Uzumakis her age, she had great talent in fu and jutsu, and even Midito had recognized it. At the tender age of five, Kosa already possessed the calligraphy skills of a fully grown person in addition to having very delicate and controlled chakra control, which she was much better at than Narut. Midito had discovered that Kusha had a very special chakra, one that was not like anything he had ever seen. It was not particularly powerful or potent, but its tensile strength was incredible. If regular chakra behaved like strings when stretched, Kushas acted like chains. Because of her unique chakra, Kasha was very skilled at using fujutsu. The seals she made would be even more potent than usual. Sununade had also noticed that Kasha's chakra could make her an excellent medic, primarily due to her nearly flawless chakra control. Jeriah smiled as he approached his two kids and said, "Okay, settle down, kids." After removing her arms from Nar, Kasha rushed to her father and exclaimed, "Hey, Tu Chan." The girl joyfully cried as she leapt into her father's embrace. The sonin kissed his daughter's cheek and said, "Hey Kasha Chan, are you two ready for your training?" Jara laughed and raised his daughter into his arms. "Of course, we are two Chan," Narut said, grinning and nodding as he approached his father. "What are we learning today?" Assunade approached her husband and kids, she was beaming. That day, Jeriah andSunade made the decision to formally begin teaching Nar and Kusha specialized skills rather than basic ones. The two sonin wondered why the Konaha Academy had to wait so long to teach the students such basic jutsu since the kids were four years old and had learned about them from their parents. They had essentially mastered them. Put her hands on her hips and began, "Today is different. Today is the start of a new 2 years training program." Confounded, Narudo said, "Two years." As Kusha listened in her father's arms, the boy asked. Jeriah gave a nod. Yes, starting today, we are going to train the two of you in serious shinobi arts, and the two of you will choose what you want to learn. Putting her arm around her father's neck, Kasha said, "So, we decide what we can learn." Nad gave her little girl a smile and a cheek kiss, saying, "Yes, darling. Is there anything in particular you'd like to learn?" The two sonin had been teaching their children the theory behind each shinobi art as well, and they wanted to see if the children could choose which field would be most helpful for them. Asked the kind mother, testing her children inwardly. Kasha cocked her head to the side and said, "I want to learn fujutsu because I recall Baan saying that my chakra will be very helpful for drawing seals, but I also want to learn medical njutsu from Kachchan." The adorable girl chirped. Nade grinned at her young daughter and said, "Sure thing, sweetie." Looking down at his son, Jeriah expressed his satisfaction that Kasha had made the right decisions. "What do you want to learn, Nar?" As Nar looked at his family, he crossed his arms and said, "I think I should learn offensive njutsu and taijutsu. I know I have large chakra reserves, so I want to take full advantage of that and become a combat ninja." He also mentioned how much he wanted to learn Ka Chan's superhuman strength because it is so amazing. as he laid Kusha on the ground beside Nar. Jeriah nodded and ruffled his son's hair. Good. You both made some good choices. Okay, then. Starting tomorrow, Narut will be learning njutsu from me in the morning and Taiutsu with Ka Chan in the afternoon. The white-haired Sanin said to his son before turning to face his daughter Kasha Chan will be learning medical njutsu in the morning with Kachchan and Fujenjutsu with Baan in the afternoon. Narut and Kusha both nodded and smiled at one another. Hi. After two years in the main training field of the second Senju compound, two shadows danced around and a lot of fighting could be heard in the dust cloud that was created by all the high-speed movements. Jeriah of the Sanin was one of the two fighting people in the area. He was in his 40s already, but he didn't look very old. Jeriah and the other shadow were practicing taijutsu, and the sonin was moving at a pace that would be difficult for most Chunin to keep up. Jeriah parried another round of his son's punches and lectured him. Not bad, Nar, but you must be more agile with your tight turns. Use your chakra to further enhance your grip to the ground. As his father directly blocked his punch, Nar grunted and experienced some muscle soreness. Hi, Tu Chan. As he continued to attack his father with a barrage of quick punches and kicks, the Senju air had to occasionally leap up to aim for his face because he was still much shorter than his father. Nar was using the taijutsu form that his mother had taught him, a traditional Senju Taijutsu that was taught to all members of the Senju clan in the past, and he had mastered it in the past year, which made his mother very proud of him. After sparring with his father for a few months, Nar had started to notice that whenever he was about to create a blind spot, he would always brush the back of his hand close to his opponent's face. Naro had tried to find any holes or flaws in his father's style. But as a sonin, his father was too experienced to make any mistakes like that. Nar noticed that his father was using his usual kowazu kumite, which really focused on creating a blind spot for the opponent and striking hard when unexpected. Jeriah moved the back of his hand close to Naruto's face, and the younger fighter forced his own eyes to not follow the hand. Nar then threw a hard punch at his father's midsection, and it connected. While he was about to strike, his fist was filled with chakra. And as soon as his punch made contact, he released all of that chakra at once, creating one of the superhuman punches that his mother had taught him to use. Nar smiled as he watched his father's body vanish in a puff of white smoke. But Jeriah's face twisted into a painful expression as he was flung backwards into a tree. The force was so great that his body broke through the tree and landed against a large boulder several meters later. Nar pivoted and raised his fists in the air, exclaiming, "Yada!" The boy exclaimed, "I finally vanquished one of two Chan's cage bunch." Jaraya grinned at his son as he leapt from the tree he was standing on and said, "Well done, Gaki. Your taijutsu has really improved." As he talsled his son's hair, the father offered a compliment. As he gave his father the thumbs up, the Senju air grinned and said, "Thank you to Chan." Ka Chan really worked me to the ground with her training. Nar had grown significantly over the past two years, reaching Jeriah's chest in height. His blonde hair was cut shorter, reaching only the top of his neck, but the sides of his face were still framed by his jaw-length bangs. Due to his intense training, Nar had a fairly muscular build for his age, and he wore black combat pants and a mesh armor shirt. He also had a headband on his forehead that bore the Senju clan symbol. The Shoai Hokag had owned it before he founded Konaha, and Midito had always treasured it. So, she chose to give it to Narudo as if transferring Hashiama's will to him. The Senju heir was a genius when it came to shinobi arts, and the two sonin as well as Mito had recognized that, but he also had the determination and guts that made his father proud. Nar had been learning the true skills of a shinobi from his parents for 2 years, and he had been doing very well. At the age of seven, Jeriah could say that Nar was strong, if not stronger than most of the Chunin in Konaha. Jeriah had a great time training his son, and Nar loved learning njutsu so much that it didn't even seem like training. The Gama Sen was extremely proud of his son and couldn't help but believe that Nar was in fact the child of prophecy he had been looking for all of his life. Narut was better than all of the previous Sanin students including the great Sheringan Nokashi who was supposed to be the ingenious son of the Shoya and who graduated the academy at the age of five. Then there were Nagato, Yahiko, and Conan, the three orphans Jeriah had discovered in a megakure. They were all talented, but not particularly so. It was Nagato who had the most potential. Jeriah had a lot of faith in the red-haired boy, primarily because he had the fable renegon, but the boy's timidity prevented him from reaching his full potential. And if Nagato was still alive, Jeriah was willing to wager that Nar would eventually surpass him in power, "Hey, Tu Chan, I'll see you at dinner later. I'm heading to the shower now." As he returned to the clan home using the Shan Nojutsu, the boy joyfully exclaimed. Jeriah laughed at his young son and was filled with anticipation for Naruto's promising future as a Konaha Shinobi. After taking off his sweaty, shabby clothes, Nar jumped into his own shower. The boy was sore all over from training with his father, but his joy overcame the pain. He had been trying to defeat his father's cage Bunchon for the past week, and he had finally succeeded. Nar felt that all of his hard work was paying off, and he was getting stronger and stronger. Nar had been training with his parents every day for the past 2 years in order to gain power. And two years ago, he had promised himself that he would get stronger so that he could defend his precious people. Flashback on the young Sanenju had always been interested in learning how to brew tea like his Ba Chan. He had no idea how she did it, but her tea was always divine. Nar and his baan were enjoying a laid-back afternoon inside the house while sipping tea. I adore your tea, Ba Chan. It's excellent. The boy gave his great-g grandandmother a cheeky smile and exclaimed. The elderly, compassionate woman said, "Thank you, Naruch Chan. You are such a sweet boy." Mito grinned and gave Nar a head pat. How has your training been going? Are you picking up a lot of knowledge from your Tu Chan and Ka Chan? Mito smiled and asked. Nar nodded. It's been going really well. I'm learning some really awesome things from Ka Chan and Tu Chan. But some of the theory and meditation are a bit boring, said the youthful Senju heir, grinning. Putting an arm around her great-grandsons shoulders, the Uzumaki leader laughed and said, "Those things may be boring, but they will make you a smarter shinobi. Even your great-grandfather had to learn those things." The mention of Senju Hashiama made Narut tense. He had always found his great-grandfather to be fascinating. Really, and it made Gigi stronger. As she reflected to her husband, the elderly woman said, "Of course he did. Yujigi was the most powerful shinobi of his time, and he had read every single book inside the Senju library. At first, Yugji was very childish and hated reading. But after he tried his first book, he couldn't stop until he finished all the books he could find, and it made him a very smart shinobi." Mito grinned at the youthful innocence of the child. Mito said, "Gi is so cool. When I grow up, I want to be just like him." Narut grinned, delighted that his Gigi was such a strong shinobi. His Ba Chan said, <unk>You Gigi was a great man and shinobi. It is a good role model to look after. Midito laughed with laughter, but he was also filled with joy. But do you know why your Gigi was so strong? No. The young Senju muttered, shaking his head. Was it because of his really cool moaton jutsu? Mido looked at her little Narudo and said, "No, those jutsu did make your Gigi very strong. But what really made him stronger than all other ninja was that he was training so he could protect the people precious to him. He always said the true strength of a shinobi will only emerge when they are protecting someone precious to them. Do you have someone really precious to you?" Naru Chan Mido said shaking her head. After a brief period of silence, Nar broke into a broad smile and said, "Of course I do, to Chan." Kachchan, Kushi Chan, and Ba Chan are all very precious to me, the boy said. Just like Gigi, I will train to become strong so I can protect all of you, Nar said, turning back to face Mido with a more solemn expression. Midito sincerely hoped that Nar would grow into an even better man than Hashiama since she could see that he shared her husband's will. End of the flashback. After taking a shower and drying himself off, Nar reflected on his promise to his great-g grandandmother. Recalling that particular moment, he recalled that the first person that came to mind when Nidato asked him about his precious people was Kusha. Narudo had been close to Kosa since he was a toddler. They share the strongest bond in the family, and she is Naruto's most valuable person. It was because of his feelings for Kusha that Nar overcame all the difficulties of his training more quickly than he himself would have thought. He would never allow her to be hurt. Midito's words had altered Naruto's perspective on strength training. Instead of wanting to do cool things and show off, Nar trains to become stronger so he could protect Kusha from any harm. After putting on a pair of dark blue jeans, a casual black mesh shirt, and black combat boots, Nar began walking to the training hall where his mother trained Kusha. Since it was getting close to sunset, his Ka Chan should have finished training by now, and he hoped to see Kasha still using her medical jutsu training. Additionally, Kasha had advanced significantly since two years ago, having finished the majority of the basic Fuenjutsu training that Mido had provided her. Given that the Uzumaki seals were truly superior to all other forms, Kasha's proficiency with fujutsu was already comparable to that of the majority of Konah's Fujutsu specialists, and Mido was determined to teach her everything she knew about Uzumaki Fuenjutsu so that Kosa could continue to teach her children the knowledge of their lost clan. Kusha's naturally tuned chakra control made her a medical ninja with tremendous potential. So might even say that Kosa will be on par with Shazoon in a few years. Kasha had also been hammering her with numerous books of medicine and herbs and the young girl had committed all of her mother's lessons to memory. When Narut entered the training hall, he smiled to see that Kusha was still practicing her Sha Senjutsu. The young Uzu Maki had grown in the previous years and she was only 2 in shorter than Narut. Her gorgeous red hair was kept at waistlength and she usually tied it in a single ponytail when she was healing something. Narut usually went to Kasha for medical attention because she was competent enough to treat any kind of wound he could sustain from sparring with his mother and father. Kacho say no judu. Naro whispered as he pressed his hand on the ground and to his constant amusement. A small toad fell onto Kosa's head. Narut smiled as he stood around a corner from Kusha, bit his thumb lightly, and rubbed blood on his palm while channeling chakra to his hand. A tick mark appeared on Kosa's forehead, and she snapped the pen she was holding. "How many times must I warn you not to do that?" Kasha turned around and gave Nar a fierce look as she exclaimed. "I really don't know. I lost count a year ago." The Senju said, laughing when he saw Kosa<unk>s eye expression, primarily because the toad was still on her head. Nar had been summoning a small toad on top of Kosa<unk>s head to annoy her ever since Jeriah had allowed him to sign the contract for the toads. Please stop playing like that Narukun. It is getting really annoying, the Uzumaki girl said, glaring at Nar as she lightly boked the toad, sending it back with a puff of smoke. The girl waved her fist at the boy and cried out. With a laugh, Nar approached Kosa and said, "I couldn't help it, but you always look so adorable when I do that." Nar stood next to Kosa and watched as she channeled her chakra into the dead fishes. And a few seconds later, all of them began to move. Kusha blushed a little and gave Nar a light slap on the chest. "Whatever, just don't do it when I am trying to finish my judu." The girl said before turning around to work on reviving eight dead fishes at once. Kasha grinned and clapped her hands together in joy. She had been trying to increase the range of her Shaw Senjutsu and she succeeded. Narukun, I succeeded. The girl grinned at Nar and chirped. The boy grabbed Kosa<unk>'s hand and said, "Good job, Kushi Chan. Let's<unk> go. I want to spend some time with you." Kasha simply followed her brother and best friend with a smile on her face, wanting to spend some time with him as well. Nar loved it when Kasha smiled because it made him happy, too. Nar was leaning his back against the trunk of a big tree while perched on a tall branch. The young Senju was just taking a rest before returning inside for dinner after completing his daily training session with his father. Nar had begun training under his mother in taijutsu and his father in njutsu two years prior, and it was almost time to decide on two more subjects to concentrate on. With a sigh, Nar shut his eyes. As his body sagged further against the tree trunk, the man muttered to himself, "What should I choose?" Natto was still a young child, but after two years of parental training, he was practically as strong as the majority of Chunin in Konaha. Sununade was frequently takenback by her son's unusually high level of skill. Although Orochimaru was regarded as one of Konaha's most gifted shinobi, Naruto's innate talent outshown even the former son. With her taijutsu training, Sununade had worn Nar down to the ground. Occasionally, her son would even faint from exhaustion, but Nar never once voiced any complaints. Through Naruto's eyes, the female Sanin could see how determined her son was to become as strong as possible due to his incredibly large chakra reserves. Naruto's chakra control was essentially non-existent at the beginning of the 2-year training program. However, after being pushed to the limit with chakra control exercises, he was nearly on par with Kusha. Nar opened his eyes and fiddled with a leaf in his hands, whispering to himself, "Maybe I should try fujutsu." Mido had previously trained Kusha in fujutsu, and Narudo had found it to be quite fascinating, particularly when Kusha skillfully sealed a massive boulder into a small scroll. Naruto's desire to delve deeper into the domains of offensive njutsu and taijutsu is the only thing preventing him from doing so. He questioned whether he could simply repeat the courses and gain more knowledge about both disciplines. Something red caught the boy's attention as he was thinking. He turned to see a ripe apple dangling from a branch. Grinning, Nar took it from the tree and took a joyful sniff. The Senju devoured the big apple in less than a minute after tasting it and discovering it was incredibly juicy and ripe. For some reason, there will always be some ripe fruit growing on the tree where Nar chooses to relax, even if he has no idea why. However, he can never find any when he simply walks around looking for them. Narut picked a green leaf from a branch and held it in front of his nose, muttering, "I really like this tree." The young Sanenju would spend endless hours on a tree because she had always loved the outdoors. No matter how stressed he was, sitting in a tree always made him feel calm and relaxed. He didn't know why, but trees always had a strange way of calming him. While holding the leaf in his hand, Nar channeled some chakra close to it. A moment later, an invisible windb blade sliced through the leaf. To the surprise of the Sanin, Jeriah tested Nar a few months ago for his natural chakra elements and found that his son was highly skilled in three of them. Futon, Sweden, and Doden. A child under the age of 10 would never experience such a phenomenon. It was truly miraculous. Jeriah was only able to train Nar on Doden and Sweden because he didn't know anything about futon. Therefore, he got some wind manipulation scrolls from the Uzumaki library and had Nar learn on his own. Although futon was much more difficult to control than his other two elements, Nar was still able to master it. Nar was becoming accustomed to using futon jutsuus after training himself to the point where he could fight on the battlefield using his wind chakra. As he lay down fully on the wide branch, Nar allowed his training to wander through his mind. He was a little worn out from all of his training and decided that a nap would be pleasant. His mind followed his eventual journey back to Konaha. He and Kusha had always been assured by their parents that they would return to Konaha and establish a new life there. Even though Narut had studied Konaha extensively and had become eager to return to his native land, he still knew very little about it. Reading about the numerous struggles his ancestors had faced had taught the young Senju many valuable lessons and he was aware that he had a lot to live up to. He was the descendant of the Naidame Hokag Senju Tobarama and Senju Hashiama, the most formidable shinobi in history. In addition, his parents were regarded as two of the strongest shinobies still living in the modern era. Therefore, if Nar truly wished to honor his family, he would have to outshine them all. Nar, who was half asleep, muttered, "H, this is so comfy." Nar was content with his brief slumber. He could already feel his muscles relax and his chakra reserves reload. As the sun was setting, a gentle breeze blew through the area, creating the ideal temperature for a quick nap. But all of a sudden, Narut felt the slimy substance touch his face. The Senju air leapt from his slumber and wiped his face rapidly. When he looked down and saw the tiny slug crawling on his face, Nar knew exactly what had happened. He boked it on the head to send it back to its summoning world. When Nar looked down to see Kosa laughing on the ground, gripping her stomach, and rolling around, his body was trembling from the repulsive sensation of having something so slimy crawl all over his face. Nar wanted to be angry, but right now Kusha was simply too cute. The boy clapped his hands together after channeling some earth chakra into them. As the ground beneath Kusha abruptly rose up like a wall and projected the laughing girl into the air, Nar whispered, "Doan, Dorya, Hecky." Kusha was still laughing wildly as she wriggled in her best friend's arms when Nar leapt to the ground and grabbed her in his arms. After wiping a tear from her eye, Kusha turned to face Nar. Amidst her laughter, the girl exclaimed, "Why you were so s as shocked, it was so funny." Nar walked into his house with Kusha in his arms and muttered sarcastically, "Haha, yeah, it is so funny." The girl gave Nar a victorious smirk while crossing her arms. Kusha nodded her head and said, "Now you understand how I feel when Gamakichi lands on my head out of the blue." "Well, that was a lot more fun than I expected. I was just coming out here to tell you that dinner is ready." Narut nodded and grinned down at the girl, he said. Okay. Before his expression became a little more solemn. Hey Kushi Chan, have you decided what two subject you want to study for the next two years? Kasha nodded, grinning. Yep. I am going to study taijutsu with Kachchan and learn more fujutsu from Baan and Tuch Chan. Laughed the youngster. What about you, Narukun? Before he grinned down at the girl, the sanju considered his options one final time. It was a difficult decision, but Narut had already decided to continue learning offensive njutsu from Tu Chan and begin learning fu and jutsu from Baan and Tu Chan. After a year, Nar exclaimed, "Sweden Dbakufu no jutsu." While standing at top a lake and using his chakra to raise himself above the water's surface, the water surged and rose to a height of several dozen meters. As the jutsu spread a lot of water over a wide area, then like a massive waterfall, it poured down to the ground in a single massive cascade. The jutsu had the strength to hollow out the earth and looked like a massive wave. What is left over after using that technique is reminiscent of the aftermath of a natural disaster, if nothing else. The water drained the lake of roughly a fourth of its initial volume and formed a massive crater in the ground. With the use of his chakra, the Senju leapt from the water's surface and hovered 50 ft above the ground. Narut held a blade firmly in his hands and unsealed it after sealing it into his wrist. The blade of the nodi was 4 ft long. It has a greater range and cutting power than a standard katana because it was heavier and more resilient. Since he stopped practicing taijutsu with sununade, Nar had resorted to using a blade. Nar started training himself in kenjutsu during his free time because his body was not getting as much exercise as it was used to after switching from taijutsu to fujutsu. Nar was eager to learn the naidame hokaj's kenjutsu techniques from the scroll his mother had. At first it was challenging because his great-grandfather's style was more centered on longer blades like the raun which could reach great lengths if enough chakra was directed through it. Narut chose to switch the element to the futon chakra since he lacked a rag or raiden chakra. By mastering the hein nojutsu, the senju was able to direct his wind chakra into his blade, increasing its cutting power and range. To effectively use the nidimes style, Nar needed to speed up a lot. So, he had his father draw some weighted seals on his body to gradually make it heavier. As Narut slashed his blade across the area in front of him and made an invisible blade of wind whip from his nodi, he exclaimed, "Fa t kazikiri nojutsu and cut through a large tree trunk." A battle fan would typically use the kazikiri nojutsu, but Nar integrated his mother's taijutsu techniques into his kenjutsu. Narut can effectively launch an amplified version of the Kazikiri nojutsu by pouring a significant amount of wind chakra into his blade prior to striking and releasing it all at once as he slashes. Nar repeatedly slashed his blade before hurling several more blades of wind at the tree in front of him with ease. The destructive blades cut through the wooden trunk, destroying several more trees behind it. After landing horizontally on one of the trees, the Senju boy launched himself toward the ground using the trees trunk as a springboard. The nodi was starting to glow a strong blue as Narut poured a tremendous amount of chakra into his blade. Gets teno exclaimed Nar as he simultaneously released his chakra and slashed his blade into the ground. The ground was torn in two by a huge tsunami of chakra that pierced it. As it completed its journey on the ground, the wave of pure chakra seemed unstoppable as it ripped through the lake. The attack only ceased when it struck the opposite side of the shore. A voice behind the Senju boy said, "Naro, do you really have to ruin the training field so much?" Nar turned to greet his father, grinning at his voice. "Good morning, Tu Chan, just warming up for training." Jeriah returned the smile and approached his son, patting his shoulder and ruffling his hair. As he observed the destructive power of Naruto's Kazikir nojutsu, the man remarked, "Your kenjutsu is really getting good. No many people can pull off what you do with wind chakra, but your gets teno technique. That is just amazing. If your Ka Chan knew that her taijutsu incorporated with kenjutsu would have that kind of effect, she would have taken to using a blade a long time ago. The boy nodded, grinning. Thanks to Chan. The boy grinned broadly. After he and his son walked to the middle of the field, the laughed. So, did you make any progress on the jutsu you were trying to create? When Narut revealed that he was attempting to make his own njutsu, he shocked both his parents and great-g grandandmother. A typical Junan should find it extremely challenging to create an original judu. But if they thought Nar could pull it off, they were pleasantly surprised. When Kusha learned that Nar was creating his own jutsu, she became extremely excited and even forced him to swear to her that he would teach it to her once he was done. The boy from Senju nodded and grinned. I have been steadily making progress and I predict that I will be finished with it soon. Jeriah gave his son a proud smile. He didn't know what kind of jutsu Narut was attempting to make because the boy wanted it to be a surprise. But whatever it was, it was amazing that the 8-year-old could create an original jutsu. Nar gave his father a smile. So Tu Chan, what are you going to teach me today? The sonin grinned broadly. That's the thing, Nar. I came to tell you that we will skip training for today. Your mother and I have to some news for the whole family. The Senju boy wanted to know. Wow, sounds important. Jeriah nodded and laughed. The man grabbed his son's shoulder and used the shunchen nojutsu to make his way back to the house more quickly. Yes, it is important, he exclaimed. Sununade, Mito, and Kasha were already seated along the couches in the main living room when Narut and Jeriah entered. Whensunade saw her husband and son, she smiled and motioned for Jeriah to take a seat beside her. Naro sat down next to the younger Uzuzu Maki girl after approaching Kosa and his bachan. When Narut took a seat next to her and scooted closer until their shoulders touched, Kosa grinned. Kasha whispered to Narut, "Do you have any idea what this is about?" The boy from Senju shook his head. Nar considered the situation and concluded, "I have no idea, but it must be important seeing that we are skipping training to hear this." Assunade got up and approached the two children. She grinned broadly at them. Jeriah and Midito were already grinning a little. Both of them had no idea what they were going to be told, and Narut noticed that Kusha was staring at him as well. Given how joyful everyone seemed to be, Nar thought it was good news, but he was unable to make any assumptions because he had no idea what was happening. Sununade knelt down in front of her daughter and son and put a hand on each of their shoulders. The woman gazed lovingly at her children and asked with glee. <unk>You two must be wondering what we are going to tell you right. Kasha cocked her head slightly to the side and nodded. Yeah, what's going on Ka Chan? Jeriah stood up, went to his wife and kids, knelt beside and took her hand. The white-haired man's words, we have some very good news, and I have a feeling that you both are going to be very happy. Added to the unbearable tension that the two kids were already experiencing. Sununade gave a collective clap of her hands. The female sonin exclaimed, "You both are going to have a younger brother or sister while Mito and Jeriah grinned broadly. For a few seconds, neither Narut nor Kosa spoke, and the latter was the first to respond. A smile crept onto Kosa's face as her eyes widened. Before jumping off the couch and stomping on the floor, Kusha raised her hands to cover her mouth." The ecstatic girl grinned at her parents and exclaimed, "You mean I'm going to be a big sister?" Despite the fact that Kasha was only a few months older than Nar, the Senju heir had always been the older of the siblings because he typically looked after Kasha and behaved more like an older brother. Although Kosa had always complained to her mother that Nar was treating her like a baby girl, she was thrilled to be an older sister in a few months. Sununade and Jera both nodded their heads in rapid succession as they laughed heartily at their daughters response. The loving mother pulled her young daughter into a tight hug and exclaimed, "Yes, Kushi Chan, you are going to be Oni Chan. She was happier than she had ever been." The two sonin had been trying for a second child for some time. They were initially apprehensive because they thought their second child might be in danger like Nar, but they were prepared to take the chance. Sununade had stated once more that her child would be a lovely girl with brown eyes and white hair. The news made Naruto's heartache. It was definitely cause for celebration before a huge smile spread across his face. The boy whispered to himself, "I'm going to be a brother again." Running to his parents, Narut leapt to give his father a hug. "Yatada!" exclaimed the little boy who was not acting Chunin, but rather his own age. With a laugh, Jeriah raised his son up on his shoulders. "You going to be another Oni Chan Naro." Rising to her feet, Mito grinned at her granddaughter. The elderly woman hugged her beloved little girl who would soon become a mother of three and said, "I am so happy for you, Su Chan." Sununade gave her grandmother hug in return, her smile brighter than ever. The woman said, "Thank you, Ba Chan." Before releasing her embrace and turning to face Mido, the sonin said, "Hey, Ba Chan, we decided that if the baby is a girl, we will name her after you." Her husband nodded in agreement. Mito nodded, her eyes stinging from her own tears. As she embraced her loved ones, the Uzumaki and Senju leader muttered, "Okay, thank you, Such Chan." Jaria Chan. She was thrilled to be able to see her third great grandchild before she died. After 3 months, inside his homes main training field, Nar was once again training as hard as he could, while the surrounding area was mostly demolished and battered. along with man toppled trees that appeared to have been ground into pieces. The ground was covered in craters of various sizes. At the center of the field, the Senju air himself was gasping for air, exhausted and nearly out of his enormous chakra reserves. Nar was on the verge of mastering his first original jutsu and had been training non-stop for more than 5 hours. He didn't want to stop. Since learning that he was expecting a brother or sister, the Senju air had become even more driven to train. A few months prior, his parents had warned him that as the Senju heir, he was in danger in Konaha and that every other Shinobi village was a threat because he was alone and learning how to protect himself from his enemies. Nar was not particularly intimidated, but the boy started to worry about his younger siblings. He will be in the same predicament as Kusha and the soon-to-be baby, and Nar was not going to allow anyone to hurt his priceless people. Nar developed an idol for the legendary Shoai Hokag, who was also his great-grandfather. As a result of Mito's numerous stories about him, the youngest of Hashiama's two brothers, a notorious Shinobi, who rose to become the Naidame Hokag, actually passed away when he was only a young boy. Even very young children were sent to fight in the numerous clan wars that took place during those gloomy times. The Senju clan was one of the most well-liked clans at the time. The Senju clan was already regarded as one of the most powerful clans prior to Senju Hashiama's rule, but the number of casualties was excessive. By founding Konahagakir no alongside the Uchiah clan, the Shoddai Hokag fulfilled his promise to himself and his clansmen that he would one day stabilize the clan and form an alliance with their worst enemy. The reason Nar was training so hard was because he had made a promise to himself that like his ancestor, he would risk his life for his loved ones. The Senju looked down at his own hand and saw that most of his palm was burned with chakra. It is still not good enough, Nar swore, clenching his fists and dragging his feet. I need to push the power and rotation to its maximum. With a sigh, Nar concluded that he needed to take a brief respit because he was overstressing himself. The boy approached an intact tree and leapt to the top of the remaining branch. Even though Nar was exhausted, it would be a shame to stop since he was so close to mastering his judu. In an attempt to calm his body and soothe his circulatory system, the Senju distributed his chakra throughout his body. A green glow emanated from the boy's palm as he raised his hand to his face and channeled chakra into it, gradually healing the burns on his hand. Nar put his other hand on the tree trunk and unconsciously channeled some chakra to the tree because it hurt even while he was healing his burns. The boy closed his eyes and did his best to ignore the searing pain on his hand. After five agonizing moments, he sighed in relief and opened his eyes. When his vision returned, however, the first thing he saw was a strange looking fruit hanging from one of the trees branches. Even in the herbal textbook, his mother had made him red. Nar had never seen a fruit like this. It glowed a gentle blue and was as large as an apple, but perfectly round. It appeared extremely soft and seemed to be pulsing with some kind of energy. Nar noticed that the tree appeared much healthier than it had a few minutes before and that there was only one fruit on the whole tree. Nar muttered that things looks really good as he reached out and picked the strange looking fruit off the tree. He held it up to his nose and sniffed it. It smelled divine and unlike anything he had ever smelled. Despite the fact that it was a bad idea, Nar took a bite out of the fruit because his curiosity overcame his sense of caution. When the juices touched Naruto's tongue, his eyes widened because it was the most incredible taste he had ever experienced in his life. It was refreshing and sweet, and it had a mint leaf-like effect on his throat and mouth. "Oishi," Narut murmured, glancing down at the fruit. Surprisingly, there was no seed in the center of the fruit, and he noticed that the insides also had a faint glowing blue that reminded him of Chakra. Prior to taking another bite of the incredible fruit, Narut pondered, "What the how did this thing grow if there was no seed on the branch?" He soon finished the entire thing. "Man, that was the most amazing food I have ever tasted. If I find any more, I should bring some back for Kushi Chan to try." After concluding that he had had enough sleep, the Senju air leapt from the branch and hit the ground. But he experienced an odd sensation. He could feel that his chakra reserves were nearly full, and his chakra felt even more dense than usual, even though a few minutes of rest and some light healing wouldn't have significantly restored it. Reflecting on the fruit he had just consumed, the boy asked himself, "What the could it be? That fruit replenished my chakra." He turned to face the tree, which was obviously the healthiest of all those in its immediate vicinity. It was the only tree with green leaves, a full canopy, and thick brown bark that appeared to be in excellent health. Shaking his head, Nar made the decision to concentrate on his current task. He released his chakra through his palm. After focusing it once more, Nar created a tiny storm of chakra in the shape of a circle by using his chakra control to make his chakra spin in all directions in his hand. Grinning his teeth, Nar poured more chakra into his jutsu while keeping the circle's shape. As he did so, the chakra grew denser and faster while spinning more quickly. Since the jutsu should be self- sustaining once it reaches a certain stage, the Senju could see that it was stabilizing and getting easier to keep its form. With a final thrust of chakra into his jutsu, Narudo gritted his teeth and finished it. Naruto's hand held a dense ball of chakra, which was enormous. In spite of its violent creation, the jutsu itself was strangely silent and radiated a blue glow of chakra. Smirking, Nar bowed his knees, concentrated his chakra, and leapt into the air. In order to descend more quickly, he sent a burst of chakra through his feet and pulled his hand back as he reached the top of his height. Nar thrust his hand forward, aiming his new jutsu at the ground as it drew closer and closer. Nar thrust his arm fully out in the final seconds of his demise, causing the jutsu to crash into the ground. Rengon, the impact was immediate. The earth surrounding the impact point was ripped apart, and the impact point itself was instantly reduced to rubble. Narut felt as though he was tearing the earth with a hot knife through butter, and all he could hear was his chakra grinding against the ground's charred surface. As it was pushed into the ground, the reenon held its shape and refused to yield to the obstacles in its path. Because of the reenon's immense power, the ground beneath Nar was trembling and fracturing. Nar gave his jutsu a final shove and pushed it out of shape, grinning at its unadulterated power. A massive chakra explosion blasted into the ground below. When Narut decides to finish the judu, he can control the direction of the explosion because he designed it to rotate. Nar was seen pressing his hand against the top of the burning chakra dome that rose from the ground. He was still pushing it down. When the chakra finally dispersed, which took another 30 seconds, a crater that was at least 15 ft wide and 10 ft deep, was visible. With a smile on his face, Nar touched down on the crater's edge. Having at last finished his original jutsu after a full year of practice, Narut turned to see his entire family gaping at him from the edge of the training field, their eyes wide. When Jeriah andSunade felt a sudden surge of chakra from the training field while they were watching Kasha train with Mito and Fujutsu, they swiftly used Shanhen to travel over and observe what was going on. When the entire Senuumaki family witnessed Naruto's jutsu being destroyed, they were completely takenback. They couldn't comprehend that a boy as young as nine could have developed a jutsu that could be considered an irranked jutsu in Konaha. After giving his family a smile, Narut leapt into the air and extended his arms. "Yatada!" the boy exclaimed. I did it. Kasha was back on the sidelines staring at the judu. She could wait for Narut to teach her how to use it. However, they were all far more serious for the seniors and adults. At first, they had some reservations about Nar making his own judu. But after seeing what he could accomplish on his own, they had no more reservations about the youngster. Rather, they think Narut will be able to outshine them both in terms of shinobi skills and possibly even surpass the Shoddai Hokag. It was finally time to welcome the newest member of the Senju family into the world. 8 months after Sununade and Jeriah had informed their family about their pregnancy, Jeriah was just as anxious as he had been when Nar was born before. But fortunately forsunade, Kasha was competent enough to keep an eye on her condition without the white-haired Sonin's assistance. Sununade was thrilled to learn a few weeks ago that her second child would be a girl, and Jeriah had made a joke about his wife winning a bet for the first time in her life. In addition to being delighted that the child would bear her name, Mito was also relieved that another Senju family member would be born before her passing. Outside the medical room where Sununade was giving birth, Narudo was watching his father walk down the corridor. Inside the room, Nidato and Kasha were helping the female Sanin give birth to their newest family member. While Kasha was busy keeping an eye on her mother's physical condition to ensure she didn't overdo it, the elderly Uzuaki was holding sununade's hand as she grunted in pain from her contractions. Naruto's eyebrows twitched as he muttered, "Tou Chan, you really have to relax. You are making me even more nervous. Since the previous week, the white-haired Sonnin had been the most anxious member of the family. He was always worried aboutsunade's whereabouts and even attempted to hide out and sleep in a different room from his wife in case he happened to run into her in the middle of the night. Butsunade had calmed him down. Since it was strange to watch their typically humorous and affectionate father behave so cowardly, Kusha and Narudo found great amusement in their father's nervousness. Leaning against the wall beside his son, Jeriah scratched his head. The father of three shuffled his feet along the floor and asked, "Is it supposed to take this long?" "I remember it being faster." The Senju air was also anxious because according to what he had been told by Kusha, their mother was too middle-aged to be having children. So, there was a higher chance that she would give birth. If his mother were a regular person, Narudo would be afraid. But since she was a legendary sonin and the most highly trained medical ninja in the world, he was confident she would be all right. The idea of having a sister made Narut happy, and he was eager to meet the little girl. She would be significantly younger than them, so it would be different from Kusha. Narudo viewed Kusha more as a best friend than a sister, and he was aware of her strength and that he wouldn't need to constantly shield her like a child. Nevertheless, he would still do everything in his power to keep his beloved Kushi Chan safe. But things would be different with his youngest sister. Given that she was the daughter of Tusanin and one of the Senju clans aeryses, Narudo, who will be 9 years older than his younger sister, will ensure that she is safe from any threats. As they waited for the door to open, the father and son fell into an awkward silence. However, one sound snapped them out of their revery and caused them to smile broadly. It was the baby girl's cries. The room's door flew open and Kusha emerged grinning at her brother and father. The girl joyfully exclaimed, "Mitochan is born." And clapped her hands together. Kusha exclaimed, "She is a healthy 8 lb girl." As she vaulted into Naruto's embrace and allowed the young man to spin her around in celebration. The male Sonin's eyes began to water when Jeriah burst into the room and saw his wife and Neato holding a crying infant girl near them. In the end, he had another daughter with whom he could share his love, and he loved all of his children equally. He approached his beaming spouse and grasped her hand. The man leaned down to give his wife a gentle kiss on the lips in a tight embrace, saying, "Thank you, Sununade Chan. I love you." grinned at Jeriah and tightened her hold on his hand. As she raised her infant and presented her to her husband, the woman whispered, "Hey, this is our second daughter, Senju." With steady hands, Jeriah grabbed his youngest daughter and held her close to his chest. When she saw her father grinning down at her, the girl stopped crying and started to fall asleep. In the brief moments that Jeriah spent with his daughter, he could see that she had her mother's light brown eyes and that she was starting to show a very light shade of hair that would eventually turn white like his own. Gazing back, Jeriah grinned at his other two kids. The man approached them with a smile and said, "Hey, Narudo Kusha. This is your little sister, Mitochan." As she gazed down at the adorable child, Kusha was beaming as brightly as the sun. The child was so gorgeous that Kusha fell in love with her right away. After lightly rubbing her finger across her baby sister's soft cheek, the red-haired girl giggled when the baby opened her eyes. "Hey, Mitochan, I am your Oni Chan." Midito<unk>s big brown eyes met Kusha's and she giggled a little as she put her little arms up and put her budgy finger around Kusha's. Ah, you are just adorable Midoch. Narudo gave his father a smile. Hey Tu Chan, can I hold her? Jeriah nodded and returned the smile. When he handed his new daughter over to his son, the man said, "Of course, Narut." For the first time, the Senjuair took his younger sister into his arms and held her close to his chest. Despite being a healthy eight-pound girl, Narut immediately fell in love with the little girl. A small giggle escaped Mito's lips as the young girl's innocent eyes met her older brothers. Despite being full-blooded siblings, the two had very different features. The young girl's brown eyes and white hair stood in stark contrast to Naruto's blue eyes and blonde hair, but both shared some characteristics with their parents. As Kusha approached him and grinned down at the girl, the young man said softly, "Hey, Mitochan, I'm your Oni Chan." Narudo uttered the childish slur, "You are really cute, Mitochan." In a way that made both of his sisters laugh. Like she did with Kusha, the baby reached for the young man's finger after he tickled her face. She had a fairly firm grip for a small child. Kusha held out her hands and gave Narudo a shove. The young woman reached out to hold her baby sister and said, "Let me hold her Nurukun." When he noticed the sparkle in Kasha<unk>s eyes, Narut grinned and gave her the little bundle. Kusha held Mido close to her face and cooed, "Oh." The red-haired girl cheerfully exclaimed, "You are so cute, Miditochan." With a broad smile, when the Senuir saw Kosa and the infant, he was thrilled because he believed Kusha had never looked so beautiful. Narudo followed Kusha while glancing over her shoulder at the infant. While Kusha was laughing at the adorable interactions between Narudo and the baby, he began to make silly faces and wave his hands aside from his ears to get the baby girl to laugh. Sununade, Jeriah, and Midito were all staring at them. When Kusha unconsciously leaned back against Narudo, resting her side against his chest, she grinned as she held the infant and looked up at him. The scene in which Kusha and Narut held the infant together was unexpected to the threeseason ninja. For a brief moment, it seemed as though they were the actual family of Kusha and Narudo were the parents and little Mido was their daughter. Although it was strange for the parents to watch their kids act like a couple, Jeriah andsunade both felt that Narudo and Kusha looked like the ideal couple at that moment, which gave them hope that there might be a chance in the future. Although Midito had always hoped that Narudo and Kushino would eventually start dating, in recent years, that hope had waned. Even though they were still kids and would only eventually get together when they were in their mid- teens, Mito chose to put the idea out of her mind and concentrate on their development. However, seeing them all together as a family with little Midoch reminded her of her dreams. The idea that the final surviving members of the Senju and Uzumaki clans would fall in love was poetic. Nidato for one would be overjoyed if that came to pass. As she watched Narudo and Kusha play with the infant, Sununade sat up from her bed and leaned her body against her husband. The mother vaguely referred to them as three siblings or simply as Narudo and Kusha at the same time when she said, "They look so great together." "So cute." Jeriah was unsure of how to feel about the idea of Narudo and Kusha falling in love because he considered them to be his son and daughter. It should be all right because they had no blood ties. But he would still need to come to terms with the fact. Even at such young ages, Jeriah had always observed that Narut and Kusha were strangely similar to one another as siblings. Not even Conan and Yahiko were as close as Kusha and Narut, which is saying something, he recalled from the third Ninja World War. Yeah, the man said softly as he carried on thinking. Mito grinned as he turned to face the two sonin to avoid being overheard by the kids. The elderly woman whispered, "I know what the two of you are thinking." As she looked at the beautiful image of Narudo and Kusha, Mido remarked, "I agree with you, too. It may seem odd that a pair of children who grew up together as siblings might eventually become romantically involved. But when I look at Narut Chan and Kusha Chan, I see that they would be perfect for each other." Surprised, Sununade and Jera turned to face their elder. Sununade whispered, "Ba Chan." Mido nodded and grinned as she turned to face the two contented kids. The Uzumaki leader remarked, "Just look at them. They clearly love each other already. I don't know if it is still love between siblings, but I am confident that it will eventually turn into romantic love." Narudo and Kusha were still playing with the infant when the two son turned to face them. Even though little Midochan was still the center of attention, Narudo and Kusha would constantly glance at one another without realizing it, as if to check if they were still drawing attention to one another. as if to demonstrate to Narut how attractive she was. Kusha appeared to be trying to make Midito look as adorable as possible. Nar appeared to be doing the same to Kosa. With the exception that he was attempting to make Midochan laugh as joyfully as he could. With a sigh, Midito took a seat on the bed's edge. They remind me so much of Hashiama and myself. As they watched the two children play with the infant, the two adults and one senior kept thinking about what would happen if Narudo and Kosa were to eventually get married. Back in Konaha, Sununade could already picture little red-haired boys and blond-haired girls running around the Senju compound, and she grinned at the thought of having such cute grandchildren. As he glanced at Narudo and Kusha, Jeriah smiled slightly. He would be content if the two were to end up together. He would permit them to do anything they desire as long as they are in love with one another. The family did not adopt Kusha. Instead, they loved and cared for her as if she were their own. Jera would only trust Narudo to look after his little girl. Even though Uzuio was a small island, it felt very alien to the family of six who lived there. The Senju Uuzuaki compound, which Mito had built over the years, was located in the middle of the island and took up around a fifth of the island's total area. The island's numerous training grounds were encircled by a thick forest on its outskirts, which was a fertile area. Growing a batch of ghost orchids on the island was a task Kasha was struggling to complete despite her mother having given her charge. In the hopes that it would grow, Kasha had cleared out a section of the training field and sewed some seeds, but she kept getting let down. The girl tried everything she could think of, including fertilizing the soil, watering the plants on a strict schedule, and making sure there were enough insects in the soil, but the ghost orchids simply wouldn't grow. The red-haired girl was sitting with a pout on her face in front of her little garden. Stupid orchids, why won't you grow? The leaf of a ghost orchid is one of the materials needed to make a new type of painkilling pill that could be used in combat, but she was unable to obtain any from the nearby islands. In one of her letters home, the sonning requested that the sandame hokag send her a pack of ghost orchid seeds, which she would then cultivate on the island. The sonin delegated the work to her daughter because she was preoccupied with the other material. With her chin resting on her knees, Kusha was jabbing a thin branch into the ground. The girl halfsplit the twig and muttered, "Why did Ka Chan give me such an annoying job? This is so stupid." Trying to come up with new ways to grow the plant had taken up most of Kusha's recent days, and it was starting to affect her mentally. When the girl felt someone sit down next to her, she decided to stop having a tantrum. Naruto smiled broadly and said, "Hey, Kushi Chan, what are you doing?" After seeing Naruto's joyful face, Kusha actually felt better and smiled back at him. "I'm still trying to get these things to grow. It's<unk> been over a month and they are not showing any signs of growth." The girl replied with a sigh. The girl screamed in frustration. "Ah," before he put her head on Naruto's shoulder and her side on him. "I am so sick of these flowers." With a laugh, Narudo put an arm around Kusha. Relax a little. You will feel better after you take your mind off it for a while. The girl with the red hair looked up at Narudo and winked while nodding. The girl joyfully exclaimed, "Okay, you can take care of this for me today, Narukun." The Senju boy nodded and laughed once more. After a week of intense training and sparring with his father, Narudo was taking a day off to avoid overstressing himself. Sure, I have nothing to do today anyway. We can do this together. The two young ninja made the decision to begin the process a new in the hopes of fixing any issues that may have arisen. In the hopes that the soil would be better there, Narudo picked a location that was quite a distance from the one where Kusha had originally decided to grow the flowers. It was still safe to conduct some trial and error tests because there was still a pack of seeds left. With a slash of his blade and wind chakra, Narudo removed the top layer of grass and soil, then used his doden chakra to mix the soil evenly. Kusha dug a tiny hole in the middle of the tiny garden and always dug the others a foot from the first. 20 holes were created in the garden in a matter of minutes, and a ghost orchid seed was planted in each. After countless hours of intense training, Narudo enjoyed the light gardening and was happy to spend time with his Kushi Chan. Narut clapped his hands together to remove the dirt from his palms and said, "Okay, that should be good for now." Kusha put her hands on her hips and nodded. "Yep, all we can do now is wait a few days and see if they grow." Narut approached Kosa and took her hand. After using Shanchin to get him and Kusha onto a nearby large tree that overlooked their tiny garden, the boy said, "Let's<unk> go sit over there. It's<unk> a relaxing afternoon, and I want to sleep on a tree." Naruto sat down against the tree's trunk and closed his eyes. The girl put her head on Naruto's shoulder and sat down beside him in the shade. As she relished the cool shade and the gentle breeze through the leaves, the girl muttered, "I really don't usually sleep on trees, but I can see why you liked it so much." Narudo opened his eyes and saw Kusha's head resting on top of him. "I don't really know why either," he said. "I've always loved the forest and nature. I find it really relaxing and serene." Kusha put her arms around his shoulder and gave him a gentle nod. As she closed her eyes and felt her body completely relax against Naruto's, the girl remarked, "I find it really relaxing now, too. I am getting a little sleepy." Narukun. Glancing sideways, Narut noticed that Kusha was already half asleep. Grinning, he laid his head on Kasha's and fell into a sound sleep as well. It was good to have her by his side while he was so in tune with nature, as Kusha had never spent time with him while he was perched on a tree before. Nar never really understood why, but whenever Kusha was with him, he felt much better than he did without her, regardless of the circumstance or location. Nar believed that everyone felt the same way he did about Kusha to all of their friends when he was younger and only starting to read about human relationships and behavior. But he quickly discovered that he was mistaken. He discovered that his feelings for Kusha were stronger than his feelings for his parents Baan and Neidochan. The Senju then assumed that he saw Kusha as his sister and loved her because he was family. Narudo fell asleep as he thought about how he felt about Kusha. Dream. It was the Senju compounds kitchen, a location that Narudo and Kusha were quite familiar with. It was close to sunset when the window was opened and the interior of the house was tinted orange. A pot of boiling soup was steaming on top of the stove, which was on. The red signal light was flashing, indicating to whoever was cooking that dinner was ready to be served, and it looked as though whatever was cooking in the oven was done. The house's front door opened, revealing a tall man at the entrance, just down the hallway from the kitchen. Two bangs framed the sides of his face, and his full head of blonde, spiky hair reached the top of his neck. He removed his boots and entered the hallway, his blue eyes dancing around the space of his house. The man had a Konaha hid on his forehead and was dressed in a typical Konaha Junan uniform. He was grinning when he entered the kitchen and saw his lovely wife. The man grinned and said, "Kushi Chan, I'm home." One of the women was standing around the counter, grinning, watching her husband enter through the door. The young lady was a sight to behold. Her body was a man's dream. Her face could only be described as angelic, and her long, silky red hair reached her lower back like a river of roses. She was dressed in tight blue jeans that showed off her toned and long legs to her husband, a pink t-shirt that hugged her body, and a frilly apron. The woman ran up to embrace her husband after returning his smile. "Welcome home, Naru Koy." Narut returned his devoted wife's hug and inhaled her lovely aroma. With a calming sigh, the Senju leader said, "I apologize for taking so long on this mission, Kushi Chan. But it was more difficult than we originally thought." "Were you worried?" Kusha brushed her husband<unk>s cheek and withdrew slightly from their embrace. With a faint smile, the young woman whispered, "Of course I was worried, Yubaka. But I know my strong Narukoy will come back to me no matter what." Kusha's chin was gently raised by Narut, who then bent down to give her a passionate kiss. The man was going to savor her sweet taste once more because he had missed his wife due to his mission. By grabbing Kusha by the small of her back, Narut drew her closer to him and intensified their kiss. Narut licked his wife's lower lips and grinned against them when they parted for him, as he had done numerous times before. The Senju rubbed his tongue along his wife's swirling tongue and slithered it inside her warm, tender mouth. After putting her arms around Naruto's neck and drawing him closer to her lips, Kasha groaned into the kiss. The young woman kept massaging her husband's tongue with her own while pressing her chest against him. After a few minutes, the couple stopped kissing and exchanged affectionate smiles. Nar gently stroked Kusha's face and brushed her hair behind her ear. I love you so much, Kushi Chan. The woman with the red hair returned his smile and pressed his hand to her face. I love you too, Naruk Koi. More than anything, dream termination. As Naruto<unk>'s eyes gradually opened from the most wonderful dream of his life, he was still able to sense the joy he was experiencing. The boy blushed because even in a dream, he had never thought he would do such a thing with Kusha. Since Senju Kusha was his sister, he should have been disgusted by the idea of giving her such a passionate kiss. But instead, Narudo felt thrilled at the prospect of kissing the person he values most in the world. The dream was so real that he could still feel Kusha's lips on his own as if it had truly happened. While Kasha was still hugging his arm and resting on his shoulder, the young Senju noticed that her eyes were slowly opening. Kusha looked up as soon as she woke up and compared her violet eyes to the azure blue eyes she had loved since she first saw them. With their faces so close to one another, Kusha's face flushed as she glanced up at Narut. He smiled and said, "Hey, Cushi Chan, how did you sleep?" The girl from Uzuzuaki nodded and returned a tiny smile. She said softly, "I slept great. I had a great dream." The memory of his dream made Narut flush, and he pondered whether Kusha had a dream like his. While standing and holding Kusha<unk>s hand, Nar remarked, "We should go back home now. It's<unk> almost time for dinner." Nodding, the red-haired girl followed Naruto's example as they leapt from the tree together. Kusha grinned at her brother and said, "Sure, I have to tell Ka Chan about replanting the seeds." Anyway, she was already feeling normal after her brief nap. Narut noticed that he had left his jacket on the ground when he turned to face the garden. The boy smiled and leapt back towards the garden, saying, "Hey, you go back first, Kushi Chan. I have to go grab my jacket." Kusha nodded and went back to their house because she was still feeling a little weird from her dream. Narudo was kneeling on the ground, attempting to understand why he was thinking of Kusha in this manner, even though it had taken him less than a few seconds to get to the garden and retrieve his jacket. Although he was well aware that Kusha was the object of his greatest love, he should not be romantically involved with her because she was his sister. After shaking his head to get his thoughts straight, the Senju chose to simply ignore the odd idea and walk away. Narudo leapt out of the area quickly and made his way back to his house, his chakra pulsing to his feet. However, he was unaware that the seeds he and Kusha had just planted a few hours prior were being impacted by his residual chakra. This was it for today.
