This is the sequel to When Three Hearts Become One

I hope you enjoy this story as much as the other one


A cold wind blew through the Village of Konoha, a sign of winter not too far away. She liked this time of year. The cold mixed with her own cold emotions.

Adored by many, feared by all, she was danger wrapped in a fifteen year olds body. Her raven hair flowed freely down her back, her pale eyes full of no emotion, she had the purest skin that any would die for.

Many a time she is seen sitting on top of a tree outside her family's home. No one knew why she sat there, nor did anyone ever ask. She welcomed the cold air as it rushed over her body.

"Tori," called her mother. The said girl looked down at a woman with dark blue hair and the same pale eyes as hers. "Naruto, Yukio, and I are waiting for you to join us for a walk through the village."

Tori sighed. A walk with her mother, step-father and half-brother wasn't the most exciting thing to do. She jumped down and landed in front of her mother. "Hn."

Her mother smiled softly at her. 'She always reminds me of Sasuke more and more every day,' she thought to herself. She took Tori's hand. "Come, they are waiting." She led her away.

"Gah, what is taking them so long?" complained a blonde boy of fifteen with whisker marks and the same eyes as his mother.

An older version of him with blue eyes patted his son's head. "Relax, they are coming."

"And, we are here," said the blue haired woman as she dragged Tori with her.

"Hinata, my love, don't drag Tori-chan."

She looked at her husband. "If I don't she wouldn't have moved at all, Naruto."

Tori let her mother's hand go and crossed her arms. "I would have come on my own…eventually…"

"Ya right! You would have sat in that darn tree the entire day. I swear, you need more missions," said the blonde boy.

"Now don't you start something with your sister, Yukio," warned Naruto. "Or, I will make sure you don't have any missions until you are my age."

"You can't do that!" growled Yukio.

"Of course I can. I am the Hokage, aren't I?"

Yukio crossed his arms and was silent.

Hinata hooked arms with Naruto. "Let's go."

They left their manor and went into the village.

"Ma, where is my new shirt?!"whined a fifteen year old girl with black hair with pink streaks, and green eyes.

A woman with pink hair entered her daughter's bedroom. In her arms were a stack of clothes. She pulled a red shirt out and handed it to her daughter. "I swear, Akira, you are as forgetful as your father."

The girl threw on her shirt. "No I'm not," she said in defense.

"Sakura, where is my vest?!" called a man from outside the room.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "It's in the bedroom, Lee." She sighed. "I'll be back." She turned and left the room.

Akira checked herself out in front of her mirror. She tied her headband like her mother did when she was younger. She smiled. "Okay, Yukio, you better watch out. Your girlfriend is looking good for you, today." She turned and headed out of her room and down the stairs.

Lee was just walking up the stairs when he was pushed aside by his daughter. "Is that a way of saying 'I love you, daddy?'"

Akira stopped and looked back up at him. She smiled and hugged him. "Sorry, dad, I love you."

He smiled back. "That's better."

She pulled away. "Got to go!" Akira booked it out the door.

Lee shook his head and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" asked Sakura as she walked next to her husband.

"Youth is flowing freely through this upcoming winter air. And, with it will bloom a youthful springtime!" He gave Sakura thumbs up, his eyes tearing.

"Lee, you are truly something."

He wrapped an arm around his wife. "Shall I show you some of my youthfulness?" he said, wiggling his bushy eyebrows.

Before she could answer she was whisked up into Lee's arms and rushed up to their bedroom.

Tori hated walking through the village. The stares she got were annoying to no end. Some had fear, some were of disgust, and other's held pity. But, when it came to the rest of her family, stares held respect, love, and worship.

But, the stares she hated most, was from her own little fan club. A group of boys from the village had the biggest crushes on her. Every time she would walk by they would drool or try and get her attention. It made her feel sick.

"Oh Yukio…"

Speaking of making her sick…

Yukio smiled and turned to see Akira running towards him. "Hello, gorgeous!"

She jumped into his arms and they gave each other a kiss. Tori nearly gagged at the sight.

Naruto and Hinata smiled. "Good afternoon, Akira-chan," they greeted.

Akira let go of Yukio and bowed to them. "Good afternoon."

"Are you and Yukio running off?" asked Naruto.

"No," said Yukio. "We are going to tag along for a while, still."

"Naruto!"

They looked to see Tsunade walking over to them.

"Tsunade," he greeted.

"Me and you need to talk." She gave a glimpse over at Tori, which didn't go unnoticed by the girl. Tsunade looked back at Naruto. "It's about…him."

Naruto's look turned serious. "I see." He turned to Hinata, who looked at him with slight sadness in her eyes. She knew who 'him' was. "I will see you later then." He kissed Hinata and followed Tsunade.

Tori placed her hands on her hips. "Mother, I am going for a walk."

"Oh…okay then." Hinata still looked sad.

As Tori walked off, Yukio looked at his mother. "Mom, are you alright?"

"I am fine, Yukio…" She looked at him and Akira with a smile. "Shall we continue our walk?" They started walking again.
