(Or Alternatively, Mistress of Death Endallia Chrysanthemum Peverell does not know how to die properly.)
Summary:
Endallia hated paperwork with passion. Her first reincarnation is a mess and so is her other twenty three lives. Well, at least in life #16, she manage to steal a wary Servant Archer who is now her partner in crime.
Moving on, when her Death partner Rein grace her office, she and Shirou didn't expect to be back in in one of the worlds they used to be. If she knew how much troublesome it is, she should have turned down the offer.

Abandoned Training Ground 27,
Spider lilies grew all over the place followed by fully bloomed chrysanthemums. No one is around except for a broken body of a nine year old girl.
I. .it hurts. .
Shh, kit. . hold on. .
Vacant sapphire blue eyes were filled with tears. Kura. . . I can't move. . . her throat felt raw and hoarse from crying and shouting. Every bone in her tiny malnourished body were broken that even with Jinchuriki healing and Uzumaki vitality failed healing her. Kura. . let me go. .
Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune howled in pain inside her mind. Kit, I will avenge your death.
"My apologies, that won't be needed."
The Fox snarled when he saw the intruder inside the shared mindscape with the kit. It was a woman with midnight black hair and poison green eyes. She is wearing a green armor dress with black and green fur cloak.
"Who are you?!"
"I see you have forgotten me. Its me, Endallia."
0000
It started like this,
Endallia is a witch. A powerful one on that. She is also the Prophecy Child in her old world because The Dark Lord marked her as his equal. To be honest, if one Albus -with--too--many--names Dumbledore didn't antagonize Tom Riddle, this so called Blood War should never happen.
But well, shit happens, (Thank you, Snape. I fucking hate you even if you protect me in the end) and Voldemort (Flight from death, really?!) went crazy and tried to kill her.
It backfired. Spectacularly.
To sum it all, she had a pretty shitty life until she accidentally collected the Deathly Hallows-- a children's story. Learning you are being groomed as a pig for slaughter (Snape told her. He never lied to her so she always, always believed him.)
Once Voldemort was truly dead, Endallia withdrawn ALL her wealth and left magical Britain behind with Teddy, her six month old godson.
She lived her life even though she felt empty. However, everything change when Teddy asked her a question.
"Auntie, why aren't you growing old? You still looked like twenty after sixty years."
A question she never answered.
Until her godson died.
Death approached her when the entity stopped her from killing herself. To learn you are now an immortal with no way of dying hurts because she will never knew peace in after life.
"How pathetic am I if I could not even die properly?!"
*
Like an old saying is, power comes with a heavy price.
She may be powerful, with Death under her command but she never likes it or not. An insane idea hit her one night so she start travelling across dimensions, trying to at least prevent her alternates the same fate.
If she needs to kill her baby alternates, so be it.
Death caught her on her third attempt and made sure to keep an eye on his unstable mistress. He never thought she would go such lengths trying to save her alternates.
So, having her reborn without her past memories should be fine.
That idea made Endallia calm and finally accepted her title. That's when she was reincarnated at Nasu verse, that is.
Learning about Counter Guardian EMIYA who walked towards the destruction of the world and wipe the calamity by the order of Alaya. . . is an eye opener.
"Archer," Endallia spoke staring at the Counter Guardian who was pierced by multiple swords inside the Reality Marble of Shirou.
Weary golden eyes stared at her. "Rin . . "
"Come with me, Archer. Be my companion and stay by my side." as Tohsaka Rin, Endallia had so many regrets like allowing Tokiomi to gave her baby sister--Sakura-- away. She already dealt with it along the removal of those disgusting crest worms raping her sister. "I would be alone once this shit is over, anyway. So, please, be my companion? Killing Emiya-kun would do no good, I tell you." A pained look crossed her green eyes. "Been there, done that. ."
"Who are you?"
She smiled painfully.
"Endallia Chrysanthemum Peverell, the Fourteenth Mistress of Death."
0000
Having Archer as her companion/ assistant help her tremendously. Endallia and Archer healed each other much to the relief of her Death partner, Rein.
"Hey, since its time for our vacation once again, want to be reincarnated complete with memories?" Rein asked one day after twenty millenniums.
"Sure, why not. Paperwork is getting boring anyway." Endallia pushed her eyeglasses on her nose. "Anija, are you in?" she glance at Archer who just served her a piece of Black forest cake.
"Count me in, Rein." the albino poured tea for the three of them. "Where?"
Rein's cackling made the duo wary.
"Warring States Era."
"Wha--!!"
00000
Present time,
Konoha
No one bat an eyelash when a pale blonde girl with jewel colored eyes walked passed them. The ninjas missed her while the civilian have no idea. about her presence in the first place.
No one noticed.
No one gave a damn.
Except for him.
*
Umino Iruka was dead worried when his favorite sunshine failed to attend school for a solid week. He already alerted the Hokage who send three ANBU squads to look around Konoha. Even so, the scarred Chuunin noticed her.
She's so pale, he thought. I don't think she is eating well like Naru-chan.
When the girl raised her head and met his chocolate eyes, Iruka gasped.
He never saw someone with such eye color before. Still shocked, he almost missed when she appeared next to him.
"Ruru-senpai?" she tilted her head a bit like what owls do.
"My name is Iruka. Umino Iruka." he told her. He was wrong on the hair. Its almost white.
A Hatake? No, Hatake Kakashi is the last one last time he checked.
"Your name means Dolphin." a soft giggle escape her lips. Gently tugging his sleeves, Iruka looked down at the nine year old.
Who kissed his cheek.
"I will see you later, Senpai." she said before leaving the stunned Chuunin.
Iruka blinked in stupidity.
That night, he noticed a blue and green expensive looking journal on his table. Iruka's name is written in lovely calligraphy in gold ink on its cover.
Opening the journal,
Dear Iruka-senpai,
This is a two way diary. When you wrote something, it would reach me and I will reply. We can talk and no one will notice! Isn't that great?
I understand that you are confused but its for you own good. . Iruka-sensei. I'm sorry for leaving you along Teichu and Ayame-nee.
However, if I don't leave. . . I don't think I would reach my twelfth birthday. If you are reading this I am far away from Konoha. I do promise to return to become a genin of the Leaf. I still love the Village even it became the nightmare Hashi-niisan never thought off.
Again, contact me, senpai. I'm sorry for worrying you but this is none negotiable. I need years to repair the damage the villagers bestowed upon my vessel.
Sincerely yours,
Uzumaki Naruto. . or please call me Endallia. I'm rather fond of it.
Breath in. Breath out. Iruka chanted on his head after reading the letter. His anger simmer under his skin. Need to be calm. .
Oh fuck it.
Picking up a shuriken lying on the table, he threw it full force onto the wall. The said weapon dug deep on it by half.
No one noticed the emotions flashing in his eyes as his mind put two and two together.
The girl who kissed his cheek and called him senpai. .
"Endallia. . " he uttered as bits and pieces of memories plagued his mind. "Himegimi. . ."
If that is her wish, he will support her.
Like always.
0000
Like promised, Endallia wrote everyday or just randomly. Her topics ranges from weather, the food, places where she is and some rather. . disturbing acquaintance she met.
Like this.
Senpai, today I am in Land of Vegetables. I met a unique pair. They are wearing robes with. . red clouds? Their names were Kakazu and Hidan. Hidan wants me to be used as a sacrifice to someone named Jashin. . . Archer does not like him so he took me away from them.
God's she should have ran away!! Those two were missing nins. . S class to booth according to Gemma's Bingo Book!!
Or this,
Senpai, do you think I could smuggle home a slug, a horse and a monkey?
No, Endallia. You cannot steal jinchuurikis like you unless you wanted war.
Naa, senpai, its not stealing! Uta-kun, Hanny and Roro-san adore me~
Iruka stared at the journal in disbelief. The weird thing is, I actually believe you.
\(. )/ Senpai is being mean~
00000
Two years.
Its been two years since Endallia left Konoha In order to recuperate. Spending her first three months in Tea Country help tremendously since she caught Tsunade Senju roaming around.
"Ara, you're Hashi-niisan's grand daughter?" She tilted her head in amusement. "You do look like Mito minus the hair. I hope you did not inherited niisan's horrible gambling habits. We used to drag him away from casinos when we are alive. Ah, good old days."
Tsunade stared at her for a few seconds before cursing under her breath.
"Aunt Chrysanthemum?!"
A soft giggle confirmed her theory. "Endallia, dear. My true name is a mouthful ~"
"Are you still angry, Kurama?" Endallia asked five months after she deserted Konoha. She is inside her mindscape which is now a large forest surrounding a tall waterfall. covering the entire grounds were chrysanthemums and spider lilies.
The bundle of biju chakra who was napping beside her grumbled. "No, I am not. It is not your fault the kit does not want to live anymore."
"Even so, I feel bad for basically hijacking Naru-chan's body. This is hers, ya know?"
"Reincarnation is weird like that. You should be grateful you aren't born as a boy."
"Been there, done that. Nothing's wrong being a boy, I just preferred being a female more often than not." Endallia looked up when she felt arms hugged her from behind. Looking around, "Papa Minato, Mama Shina . ."
"Hi, Crissa~" Minato pressed a soft kiss on her temple as Kushina ruffled her hair. "What did we told you about blaming yourself about Naru-chan?"
"Not to. . " she replied.
"That's right, dattebane! Its never been your fault, okay?! Stop blaming yourself!" the red head told her.
"An annoying forced of habit of being used as a scapegoat." Endallia admitted. "At least I made sure to bring Naru-chan to Pure Lands personally even if I cannot enter myself." taking a sip of her tea, "I just hope I could give you bodies, ya know? The materials needed to create homunculus bodies are annoying and hard to purchase without alarming someone."
Minato snorted.
"Dear, we are ninja, not magi or magical. No one will ask if you brought those this that considered dark items" there were quotation marks on the last two words. "The Nidaime did invented Edo Tensei after all."
Endallia blinked. "Edo Tensei? Tobira-sempai did what?!"
"Its one of the Forbidden Jutsu in the Forbidden Scroll. I glance on it but wince since it needed sacrifices." You could see the disgust on the blonde's voice. "I don't like it and I don't know what Nidaime-sama is thinking when he made it."
"I think I could answer that." Rein appeared beside his master, startling Minato and Kushina who were not used seeing a Death God walking around without the skeleton like look. "Tobi did it because he wanted to see you again, Hime."
Endallia sigh in defeat. "Like Ruru-senpai once said, I'm actually believing it. Good thing he didn't accidentally created Akuma on the way."
"He saw your notes on making homunculi bodies. Those raft drafts Lady Illya send you?"
The pale blonde girl gave him a deadpan look. "That was stage one! Gosh, I love that idiot but come one! Based on Papa's memory, Edo Tensei is more like an inferi minus the hunger for flesh quirk. Jeez, I would need Illya for this or maybe I could kidnap Zelretch for a while?"
Rein stared at her in horror so is Archer (when did he appeared? Are those inazushi?!)
"You. ." Archer squeak "You want to spend time with that fucking Troll?!"
Endallia looked confused. "Its not that bad. Hibari Sakura ( Crippled Sky) my alternate and I studied under him for a while. I kinda like his graduation gift for me, Kaleidostick Agate? I don't understand why Amu took it for a few days through. Nothing's wrong with her."
"Those abominations are perverts." Rein explained at his Master. "Sure, they are unlimited prana battery but for the sake of your virtue, no."
The Fourteenth Mistress scratched her cheek. "Eh?"
000000
Working and dissecting a jutsu and calibrating it to make a much better version without its original side effects (mind control, chakra relying and other things) is . . . soothing. Its been a while since Endallia had such interesting project to make. Remaking Edo Tensei in order to fit it with the von Einzebern Homunculi Dolls . . . . oohhh, the challenge!!!
Kushina just rolled her eyes as she ignored the evil cackling Endallia let out. ("Its alive! Its Aliveeeee!!!!! Oh yes! Bwahahaha!!!) Glancing upon her husband, Minato was now sharing the said evil look as he studied his new body.
They were currently in the Land of Sea, where Endallia brought a cute seaside cottage and built it into a fortress. ("Heavens, how many rooms did she made?" Rein.
"Last time I cleaned, eighteen. Not counting two labs and three offices. I think she was planning to add four more guestrooms." Archer.
"Why don't make it a Clan Compound like back then?" Rein.
"Are you really asking me that?" )
Anyways, since the revival is success. (Rein made sure Endallia signed the appropriate paperwork.) Endallia had Tsunade checked if her parents (wow, come to think of it, she was always born as an orphan.) are healthy as they should be.
"They are healthy as expected. Having a sibling soon would be fine. Since you made sure to have both Minato and Kushina's DNA, you fully erased the problem." The busty Sannin said.
"Its was a group effort, Tsu-chan. I do admit several of Tobira-sempai's notes gave me a headache." Endallia adjusted her eyeglasses. Smiling at her parents, "I want a baby sister. If its twins, hell yeah."
Kushina shared her smile while Minato blushed in embarrassment. "C'mon, pretty boy! Crissa already said so!"
"Kushina!"
"You really enjoyed embarrassing Minato-sama." Archer rolled his eyes as he saw the red head dragging the Yondaime towards the Master's bedroom.
"This would be a second chance for them, Anija." Endallia closed her eyes as she wrapped her magic-- not chakra -- on her body like a warm blanket. She opened them when she felt Tsunade's hand over her forehead, covered with healing chakra. "Tsu-chan?"
"Just making sure you are healthy, Crissa. You had been working too hard this past few months. We need you fully healed before your twelfth birthday." Tsunade replied as she healed the lingering malnourishment with the help of Kurama.
"Okay, okay, I will take a nap after I eat." Arguing with Healers is a big no-no. She's not that suicidal, dattebayo!
"Good!"
00000
Konoha,
Senpai, I manage to tweaked Edo Tensei. My parents are now alive and they are wanting to kill Danzo along majority of the Civilian Council. And punch Jiji in the face too.
Oh, I see. Message me first so I can take as many blackmails as I want.
Okay~ And also, I can't wait to become a big sister!!
Congratulations, Himegimi.
00000
"Now, what are you doing?" Archer leaned to see what his little sister/Master is doing.
Endallia harshly slammed her laptop (powered by magic) closed before turning behind her. "Anija!!" she screamed in embarrassment. "Don't do that!"
The Counter Guardian eyed the poorly hidden tissue with spots of blood on it. "You're reading . . porn."
"I DO NO SUCH THING!!"
Archer gave her a deadpan look. "Forgive me. You are reading. . doujinshi."
Endallia's face turned tomato red.
The albino rolled his eyes. "No that I care on what . . literature. . you are reading (even if your best friend is an Academy Teacher)--just make sure that Minato won't see that."
His Master buried her face upon the rabbit stuff toy Minato gifted to her. (To Endallia, not Naru. Naru had a large Gama-chan stuff toy on her future room.)
"Shirou-nii is being mean~"
"Just warning you. You know how dramatic your father is."
Endallia giggled even her face still flaming in embarrassment. Pushing her now waist length hair, she pouted upon her older brother (Who she actually stolen) her fingers felt the diamond shaped rumbo on her forehead.
"I want you to learn the Strength of Hundred Seals, Crissa." Tsunade told her the third week of her stay in the Peverell Cottage.
"Why? That was your signature technique. I'm already learning how to use Adamantine Chains and Rasengan along Hiraishin. . . the last two are in theory." Endallia asked. "Shizu-chan, can you please pass the miso soup?"
"Sure, Crissa~." Shizune replied.
" Well, Shizune tried learning it but no avail, not for the lack of trying. However, she likes poison too much." The busty Sannin rolled her eyes fondly. "You, on the other hand, can use it since the process is similar like your Fin shots."
"Ah, jewel craft." storing mana on jewels is a Tohsaka Family art. And since she was reincarnated as Rin last time, and manage to recreate Zelretch's Jewel Sword with the help of Luvia Edelfelt. . . well. . "Okay. But the real reason?"
"Your medical chakra is shit." Ouch.
"Fine, I'll learn. Can you also teach Iruka?" the evil smile on her face made Minato cry in the far corner, wailing about how sadistic his baby girl is.
Kushina just ignored her husband.
Tsunade paused, imagining the cute Chuunin punching those annoying shinobi via Strength of Hundred at the Mission Hall if they pissed him off.
Evil chuckling filled the dining hall making Archer and Rein run the fuck out.
"Sure, why not ~"
0000
Dolphins are not supposed to be this deadly. .
Everyone in Konoha did not noticed the rumbo on Iruka's forehead since it was always covered with his Konoha protector.
They did noticed when he start punching annoying Jounins who did not pass their mission reports with eligible hand writing and on time for shits and giggles.
First victim? Hatake Kakashi who was notorious on passing late reports.
It happened to four more Jounins and three Tokubetsu Jounins before the message had sink.
"Hatake-san, I do not know what you are smoking but you should known I hate collecting late Mission Reports." Iruka's eyebrow twitch in irritation. Especially when he saw his ineligible writing. "And please rewrite this."
"Maa, maah, Iruka-sensei. . my hand writing is acceptable~" the masked Jounin raised his hands in surrender.
Iruka glared at him much to the horror of the remaining shinobis inside the Mission Room.
"Ha.ta.ke-san. . ." cue full blast killing intent (Learned from the five months pregnant Kushina) causing Kakashi to pale and have several flashbacks of a crazy pregnant red head.
"I'll do it." Picking up his report, Kakashi vanished so is half of the remaining Jounins who are now afraid of the cute Chuunin.
"Ara, senpai. Chill down~" Endallia spoke amusedly as she pressed a giant cup of chocolate parfait on his hands.
"Thanks, Crissa." Iruka accepted the said sweet. It took only one bite to send the Chuunin into bliss. "You're sweets are the best. . "
The eleven year old--almost twelve giggled. Endallia is wearing a blue long sleeves underneath a white short sleeve jacket with thick green strips. Her bottom was clad with white short shorts partnered with black thigh high socks and black combat boots instead of kunoichi sandals. Endallia's pale blond hair is tied into a lovely braided bun adorned by three rose clips with tiny way tiny (microscopic) Uchiha-Senju crest drawn on it.
(Possessive Bastards)
Endallia and Iruka were enjoying their treats when the brunette glance at her.
"When did you arrived and why I am not informed?"
"Papa and I are the only here for a week. We are preparing to move here before Mama is due." she replied. "Good thing through since you are about to kill that hot senpai earlier."
"Hot senpai my foot. Hatake-san might be good looking but his personality leaves nothing to be desired." Iruka snorted. "He reads that blasted Icha Icha in public!"
"You and Papa reads those corny romance novels but did you heard me complain?"
"What? Namito-san had taste!"
Endallia gave him a dead pan look. "You two liked Twilight for heavens sake! That trashy abomination should never had a place in my library but its there!!" the blonde girl screech. " Vampires do not sparkle in day light, dattebayo!! They are undead predators that would go hand in hand with Miterashi Anko and Morino Ibiki on a good day torturing poor useless mongrels!!"
By the end of her speech, she was standing on top of the table, oblivious from the amused looks several shinobi were throwing at her.
"Don't be so dramatic, Crissa. Also, your verbal tick is showing." Iruka rolled his eyes. "Unlike you, I do not have the black madness."
"Hmp! You just don't appreciated bloody good horror whatsoever." Endallia puff her cheeks in annoyance.
"My apologies for not being a sadistic little bitch."
"I had several life time of pent up frustration to burn off, Senpai~" Endallia tilted her head then smiled. "Papa!!!"
A tall pale blonde man wearing a comfortable blue travel kimono entered the mission room followed by the Hokage. Namito Peverell, thirty five year old smiled when he caught his adorable daughter. Adjusting his eyeglasses, he picked her up and kissed her cheek, earning him a giggling sunshine.
Their audience sigh seeing such display. . fully ignoring the sparkles, flowers and heart bubbles in the background.
"Hello, Little princess~ did you enjoy pestering Iruka-kun yet again?"
"Of course, I do, Papa! That's tradition and he is my favorite Chuunin!" Endallia replied happily. Her emerald green eyes landed upon the Sandaime. "Hello, Sandaime-sama. My name is Crissa Peverell!"
"Short for Chrysanthemum, Hokage-sama." Namito corrected fondly. "My cute little Kiku-chan."
"Papa! Just wait, I will grew up as beautiful and busty like Mama, 'ttebayo!" the girl exclaimed.
(Hiruzen flinched when he heard the said verbal tick. His mind flew back when a certain ball of sunshine used to shout that)
"A pleasure to meet you. . Kiku-chan?"
"Its Crissa or Endallia, Hokage-sama." Endallia smiled brightly. "Can I borrow Iruka-senpai?"
The old man chuckled. "Of course, Crissa-chan." he watched as Namito placed down the young girl. "I see you are enjoying your self."
"Umu! Teasing senpai is a hobby of mine! Also, he cannot get rid of me since I'm entering the ninja Academy!"
"Tsunade did wrote you a referral." The Sandaime gently ruffled her hair. "Did she said when she will visit?"
"Shishou would be accompanying Mama. She is her midwife." Endallia picked up her remaining parfait. "Papa, can we have Ramen for Lunch?"
"As long as you eat your vegetables and drink your maintenance." Namito glance on his wristwatch. "Its almost time, anyway."
The girl pouted. "Medicines are icky but necessary. . "
"That it is." The older man agreed. "Would you join us, Hokage-sama?"
"I would love too, Namito-sama."
0000
Ichikaru Ramen Stand,
" Three bowls of Miso ramen, Berserker size please!!" Endallia called out as she jumped on the tall seat.
"Endallia, only Shirou offers berserker size." Namito removed his eyeglasses revealing his sapphire blue eyes. Smiling upon Teichui, "Nine bowls of ramen for this flower while two orders of pork shrimp for me. Iruka-kun, its on me."
Iruka was about to refuse when the man smiled at him hopefully. ". . thank you, Namito-sama."
"Please add more vegetables for me, Oji-sama. Anija would complain if I eat less veggies." Endallia snickered. Papa is too cute to be refused. There is a reason why Mama used to call him pretty boy.
Teichui laughed out loud. "welcome to Konoha! Hokage-sama, Namito-sama, Little Endallia and Iruka-kun! First bowls is on the house!"
"Yay!!"
0000
Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen watched as Endallia and Iruka debate on improvising an exploding tag. He knew the young Umino is one of the Village's best barrier specialist and ex Prank King before Naruto.
His eyes landed on the man beside him. Namito Peverell, owner and CEO of Emerald Sky Industries, the new but widely known company that hailed from the Land of the Sea. He was curious why such influential family (Endallia is practically a Royal Princess) is allowing their only daughter to become a kunoichi.
However, he feels like that he knew that surname before. . . hmmm.
Add to the fact Tsunade took young Endallia as her second apprentice.
"How far Lady Shina is, hime?"
"Eight months. Naru will have the best big sister, ever. Shishou is already her Godmother so is Tita Konan."
"Iruka-kun, Shina and I wanted you to be her Godfather." Namito joined the conversation.
Iruka stared blankly upon the older man for a few seconds before choking his ramen.
"WHAT??!!! ME?!"
Hizuren took the opportunity to ask. "I thought you knew each other?"
"Iruka-senpai met us two years ago when he had a mission in Land of Vegetables. I got lost and since he does not worship the ground I walked in and he didn't faint when he saw Papa walking around without his shirt like other people~" Endallia giggled when Iruka blushed. "Sure, he did fan boy and drool seeing the seals Papa made but meh. I always wanted a Dolphin."
The Hokage laughed hearing her explanation.
"Forgive me for drooling on the pensieve. I know myself the Yamanaka would sell their soul for one of those." The Chuunin pointed out.
Namito laughed. " And my wife liked you when you punch that annoying pervert leering at her."
"Lady Shina is a powerful woman. You know she could be an S Class kunoichi if she did pursue our line." Iruka wiped his lips. "And so are you."
"The only paperwork I would be buried would be Fuinjutsu and mathematical formulas, Iruka-kun. I'm not suicidal." the pale blonde man joked.
"Your term of paperwork is far more dangerous than mine." The Academy Teacher argued.
"Papa can't argue with that!" Endallia seconded.
Namito rolled his eyes fondly.
0000
Hotel,
"He didn't even noticed." Namito aka Minato Namikaze wiped the ink hidden behind his wrist, cancelling the glamour charm.
"Jiji should have passed the hat a year after the Kyuubi Attack." Endallia hugged the pillow as she watched her father removed his shirt. Staring upon the beautiful drawn dragon tattoo whose face is on his chest. . "I had a feeling Naru would be followed if Mama saw that tattoo."
The Yondaime blushed faintly. They were visiting Endallia's original world when they passed a magical tattoo shop in Tokyo. Fascinated upon the tattoo, he was convinced to take it.
Kushina haven't known it yet.
"I hope Kushina won't be mad."
His daughter snorted. "I don't think she would be mad. Its the opposite, really."
"Hm," Minato climbed on the bed. "So, what's the plan?"
"Try to see why Yuu-chan was deactivated." Endallia replied. "Konoha is sentient as Hashi-niisan wanted but I could feel the detoriation of the wards five miles from the Gates. The Fidelus Charm I casted decades ago is still active even if both Secret Keepers died the same day."
"Fascinating, actually since you and Shirou-kun were the Secret Keepers. . unless being a non mortal did something. ."
"Or something." she agreed. "Hmn, the possibilities were practically endless. . anyway, how was the soon to be built Peverell Compound?"
"There was actually a land dedicated for the Peverell Compound. I knew about it when I was still the Yondaime." Minato pulled out one of his romance novels he brought, ignoring the look send by his daughter. "Just some signing and they could start building it. It was very wide near the Senju and old Uchiha Compound."
Endallia suddenly sat up and conjured a map of Konoha. Her eyes searched until it stopped at the three names.
Senju-Peverell-Uchiha.
"That was the spot Anija wanted. . near the Naka River." she spoke. "We just need to activate the Blood Wards. Its fully furnished before we died."
Minato was quiet for a moment. "Endallia, you never told me when you first met Uchiha Madara."
"Oh." Endallia scratched her cheek. "Haven't I? Its just. .that. . we didn't meet in pleasant circumstances." banishing the map. " We first met when he was eleven while I'm ten. Madara was caught by Blood Line thieves. . "
Flashback,
Warring States Era, Itaku Village,
Fear. Blood. Despair.
She was walking in the sea of dead bodies. Her long black hair is now bright red from the blood that sprayed at her. Glassy emerald eyes were unfocused as she slaughter those Blood line thieves.
"I. . loathed . . rapists. . " she uttered, the once silver colored rapier is now covered with thick copper.
The sound of broken sobbing caught her attention. Glancing upon one of the broken houses she might have been destroyed, she saw a boy.
Nothing usual. . except she didn't think someone would be safe on her rampage since her gut said this place is full of child rapist. She did understand that it would be far traumatizing seeing your rapist 's own skeleton remove itself from its skin.
Ignoring the horrified. . or terrified red eyes staring at her, she raised her palm and pressed it on his forehead. His wounds start healing at a rapid phase. "Did that woman touched you?"
"S. .she was. .about to. ." the boy answered her question quietly. "Told me. . I-I would. . w-would im- impregnate her. ."Pulling him into a hug, he didn't see her eyes shifting into liquid gold with red streaks."Shh, you're safe now. That . .creature would suffer in hell now~" she consoled him. "What's your name? My name is Endallia.""Ma-Madara. . ."
00000
Minato felt faint. "I heard Warring States Era or WSE were brutal but that exceeds my imagination." the sunny blonde man admitted.
"You haven't seen a Counter Guardian on work, then. That sight of mine is a walk in the park compared to Alaya's work." Endallia combed her bangs with her fingers. "I took Madara back on the Uchiha Lands and stayed until he recovers. I even strap a protection bracelet on him so he won't suffer being raped like that again." her knuckles turned white from gripping the comforter too hard. "Remembering how weak and disgusting humans angers me." Sighing, she shook her head. "I'll be in the training grounds to unwind, Papa."
Minato sighed and pressed a kiss on her temple. The Yondaime learned that Endallia likes being coddled a bit especially if upset. "Okay. If you are going to kill some Root, make sure your ANBU escorts will see."
"Hai, Papa."
0000
Her four ANBU escorts almost had a heart attack when she jumped from the window six floors above. Endallia did two hand signs and several white glyphs with the Peverell Crest appeared. Using those glyphs as her platforms, her escorts scrambled to follow her.
"Damn it! We already had the White Devil (Nidaime Hokage) and the Yellow Flash!! (Yondaime.)" ANBU Crow complained as they ran after the girl.
"Sure, she's fast." ANBU Cat agreed.
They finally caught her in the vacant land in the middle of Senju-Uchiha Lands. They watched as Endallia slashed her palm and pressed the bloodied hand in the body of large Sakura tree beside it.
Green, black, red, blue and yellow lines erupt from the tree covering the entire grounds. Once it produced a egg shaped barrier, it shattered into black and pink rose petals, revealing a large and fully furnished Clan Compound.
ANBU Hound cannot help but to whistle in surprise. "That's a hell of a ward. . "
And of course, they cannot enter there.

The Peverell Compound looks the same like time didn't touch it. Has it really been sixty years since then? Endallia isn't sure.
Archer astralized beside her as they stared at the unmoving and large family portrait hanging in front of the receiving room.
"Sixty years, huh?" the Counter Guardian spoke as he stared at the portrait.
"Yes, Anija. That long." Endallia stared at the image.
The portrait she drew a month before she died. They were standing in the Hokage Mountain. When she said they, the whole gang.
Hashirama and Mito smiling at each other beside Touka and Izuna.
Hikaku was laughing with Hatake Kashi and Umino Iruka (this one had no scar) Archer is smirking beside them.
Lastly, Madara and Tobirama hugging a black haired Endallia.
"I missed them, Anija." Endallia muttered. Archer pulled her into a hug and placed his chin on top of her head.
"Me too, Crissa. I missed those days we are happy and complete." the Counter Guardian admitted.
For the first time since they turned back, Endallia mourned.

Hokage Mountain,
"Crystal Release: Art of Memory." with a clap, Endallia slammed her hands on the ground.
It took a lot of chakra manipulating the crystals to their right color and look but she manage to recreate the image in her mind, much to the horror and awe if her guards.
Standing on top of the mountain are human size mannequins of the Founders along their Lieutenants.
"They looked alive." Namito commented when he appeared beside his daughter. He knew Archer is with them, astralized.
"Who knew Madara-sama wears eyeglasses?"
The Models were not wearing their armors. Only casual clothes.
"He do like Tobirama-sempai." Endallia spoke softly. "I missed them."
"I know. Let's go, you need rest. Shoton took a lot of you."
"Hai.."

Hizuren cannot help but to look suspicious.
Who, exactly are the Peverell? The golden eyed man laughing with Hikaku Uchiha is unknown like that woman cuddling beside his sensei and Traitor.
Too many questions, so little answers . .
