1st Arc: Rise of the Generation 7, Omens of Calamity!

(Opening: Destiny-Galneryus extended overture version)

Chapter 1: The Seers of time, Chunin Exam 2nd round, Dark Omens, a non rejectable invitation.

Part I: Prologue, a few months earlier, in a faraway Land, beyond the great ocean, in the Town of Origin:

`"7 Children, near the same time, 10 have to be born, 10 children, be the world´s spine, after 7 times of mourn!"

Countless of centuries had gone by, ever since this old Prophecy has been spoken.

It was the 6th Generation of Mankind, the Era of the belligerent Ninja-Nations, which rose up millennia after the great Catastrophe, which almost ended the planet´s life for good.

Even though our planet survived, the war back then had made the planet, for countless of ages, unable to live upon.

Very few Places had been saved from devastation back then, one of such a place was the Ancient Continent, Gensan no Kuni, a relic of ancient times, from long before the age of our Planets recovering began.

Since the oldest of days, has been a mysterious Clan his origins here.

It was the race of the Edemah Ruh, in the new Language better known as Jinkan no Senkensha, the Seers of time.

A race, superior to Humanity, once as peaceful as nature itself…, but beware of waking their wrath.

For similar as the nature, even this clan could be merciless, if enraged.

They were blessed by nature with extraordinary power, the power to create and to manipulate nature itself, they were acknowledged in the usage of the elements and they helped the Planet to prosper.

The race has been hidden themselves before the humanity, even though they had the righteous supremacy over the Planet….., some of them even said that it would have been better for the Planet, if they actually would have taken upon this right.

However the Clan, who usually loathed violence against other beings, kept themselves hidden and shrouded in legends and myths, observing the course of nature from the shadows.

What they saw didn´t pleased them, for humanity used to destroy the Planet for their own selfish needs, pested the earth we all were born from, making it inhospitable for future Generation to live upon.

The Edemah Ruh had to act, if they wanted to save the Planet, and so with their forces, given from nature and the planet itself, they gave birth to three beings, which were to act as Pillars of the Earth.

Born with a mind and the ability to learn, the beings however soon found the mankind, as well as the Edemah Ruh, which had let them rule and devastating the Planet for so long, as unable to further be allowed to live upon the Planet.

And so, in centuries of biding their time and saving up their forces, growing in process, they prepared to bring death upon all living beings on the Planet, to give the Planet time to recover, before they would rule upon it.

Very few of the Edemah Ruh still remembered these beings, and that they had been created by their very on race, they were called Demons, monsters, Aliens…, but were they but the Planets wrath itself, the embodiment of the disappointment and the scorn of mother nature.

They were our all punishment, for thinking we could all rule the world after our own desire.

With massive Battle-cries, unheard and invisible to Mankind yet too powerfull not to be unnoticed, they came upon them like Natural disasters.

Lands burned, empires fell and Continents broke apart, mankind was shaken in it´s very core, and soon the need for habitat and resources caused the humans, as in ages before, to fight for the last bits of habitable spots on the planet.

The war which arose was bloody and drenched by destruction and death.

In the end only 2,5% of Humanity survived, for the still living eldest of the Edemah Ruh, which realized their failure of not having created a natural Health system for the planet, but instead created weapons themselves, decided to save a portion of humanity.

Their goal was to, if the Planet ever would come to rest, raise a new kind of mankind, a mankind which would rule the planet in awe and respect before Nature, a mankind they would guiding more offensively, showing them that neither them nor the Edemah Ruh, but mother Nature alone was in control of their lives.

However, the Edemah Ruh knew they first had to deal with the three beings they had created, meanwhile grown to sheer cataclysmic Titans.

The Edemah Ruh knew, that these beings should no longer exist on earth, if they wanted the Planet to be saved.

For the three Titans began to drain their energy from the planet itself, sooner or later letting it dying out, robbed of its fuse and bound to fall apart.

However had these three essences grown long too strong, to easily being bound or sealed again, in the end the only outcome out of this battle, which cost many lives among the Edemah Ruh, had been the destruction of the planet Earth and the planets around, for their massive unleashed forces affected the very galaxy around them as well.

The three titans were defeated, one even more than the others, for he was near dead, however the Edemah Ruh paid a terrible price.

Not only was their home destroyed and their clan had being decimated on a large number, but also Mankind was decimated to a few who survived the Battle between the Edemah Ruh and the three titans.

The usage of the forces of Nature being used as a weapon, was something which was never being intended by Mother Nature or the planet, as he gave them these powers.

Of course Mother Nature, who once gave them the gift of life and the power to guide, took bitter revenge for this sacrilege, even if it has been to save her.

The Edemah Ruh were bound towards the Planet…, even when their bodies died, their souls remained, chained upon the earth, they could not easily die as before anymore.

They only could die by dissolving the rest of their forces, which were directly linked to their souls, or by being erased due to someone else.

Even centuries long they could survive without a body, being Spirits without physical appearance, however they could only survive this way, as long as they held them away from death and the 4 gates of Purgatory, if not they would have to obtain a living body and take control upon it.

It was hard for them in the beginning, especially as they had to use their forces of the soul, as tribute in order to recreate the Planet, out of the Elements and the shattered pieces of the planet.

It cost them much force and some of them even died, vanishing forever into nothingness, their souls erased for all time.

Their bodies, which were nothing more but empty non-usable shells anymore, were piled up and left to rot by the Humans, in a land where nothing grew and flourished anymore, Fukan tochi no kuni (Land of the dead earth).

However stuck in these dead bodies still portions of the old forces, which the Edemah Ruh once bore, portions which could not be used anymore, due to not having a physical body anymore.

Out of the rotten bodies, the forces and the remaining forces of the demons, a being, half Plant and half demon, arose from the ground, a being, which rose higher and higher the more force it accumulated.

This being later was known as the Shinju, the divine tree.

Humans came and felt the immense power in this tree, and some wanted these powers for themselves, but not one of them was strong enough to hold these massive powers in check.

In the end, after countless died trying, we began to guard the Tree, allowing no one to come across it anymore, scaring everyone who dared to come near away, but as we had to see, millennia's later this had proved as futile.

Meanwhile, the defeated Titans were left in space, while the remaining Edemah Ruh and Humans searched, on the land they saved, for a new Galaxy to live in, in order to recreate their planets, but the Titans didn´t gave up, thousands of years later they were to appear again, for after acummulating back their forces they made their way to the new world, to erase the last remains of the old world.

Humanity long forgot the war back then, after having reproduced their population on the new Planet Earth and beginning a new Era, the Era of ninjas was born, out of the war which the Edemah Ruh had to see upon their own Race.

In order to survive most of them used animals as bodies, or creating their bodies themselves.

However no matter which body they took upon, humanoid or not, they never felt as in their own bodies, however the usage of a body was mostly only used in order to reproduce.

However some even went so far as to reproduce with animals and Humans, which granted some parts of humanity new forces, even though most of them never knew about these forces, for no one of them was strong enough to awake them.

The mating with animals had the consequences that these offspring became intelligent as well as self-aware of their state as a higher being, than simple animals.

They began to develop personalities and some even developed the ability to speak like normal humans, others even managed to use the forces of Nature.

The old secret forces of the Edemah Ruh weren´t just monopolized by their race anymore, even though they kept their abilities still hidden from Mankind, fearing for them to fall back in their habit of fighting for resources and habitat.

However the population with Animals had also it´s consequences, since each animal has it´s natural enemy, and some of the Edemah Ruh could not keep their new animalistic instinct in check that well.

This caused the strongest of these Edemah Ruh-animal tribes to fight under each other, to quell this fighting, they had separated in different realms and each of these realms was to be ruled by one element, one tribe for each element of nature itself.

The Planet had found a new System of surviving and so it gave half its forces off on the new created Edemah Ruh-animal Tribes, one each of these tribes was entrusted with the surveillance upon an element of the planet and some even with additional tasks.

The Rabbits of Paradise, the Jackals of Inferno, the turtles of water, the Phoenixes of fire, the Toads of wood, the Gryphons of wind, the Snakes of stone, the Arctrixes of ice and the Tigers of Lightning were born and so also the Council of the Elements, which was made of the leaders of each tribe, which were known as the Wild-Sages.

However it didn´t lasted long before jealousy and mistrust began to rose under the different tribes, for some of them felt in disadvantage to others and others felt as superiors to their fellow tribes, minor conflicts soon escalated in brash battles and some of them even into wars.

The greatest of these wars had been fought between the Rabbits of Paradise, those who were tasked with the surveillance of the good souls and the light of the world and the Jackals of Inferno, those who were tasked with the dealing of evil souls and the darkness of the world.

One each of these two tribes conquered against each other and more than once they fought bitterly for supremacy upon all the souls of the world, which fuelled the power of their folks.

The war escalated and soon the balance of the world was brought out of its natural flow.

The brawl unleashed massive forces which also affected mankind and animals alike and not long after, they too were drawn into battle, falling back in their habit of warmongery.

The Rabbits and Jackals began to use Humans for the battle, as their tribes threatened to go extinct…, they blessed, or more cursed, them with their own extraordinary powers, creating the first Sage Tribes under Mankind.

One of these Human-sages later created the Otsutsuki Clan, the Clan of Rabbit-sages, which triggered the spreading of the so called Chakra, various forces mixed together, across the world.

The war ended in the near annihilation of both tribes, be it the Humans or the Edemah Ruh.

In the end the Council of Elements, in order to finally quell the fighting, decided to divide the forces of inferno and Paradise.

They stripped the remaining Edemah Ruh, of the Rabbit- and Jackal-tribe, of most of their powers and sought for a race of Edemah Ruh animals, which could better deal with it.

And thus the realms of Light, Darkness and Purgatory were born and so the three new races rose upon the remains of the old Tribes.

The Cats of Darkness, the Foxes of Light and the Dragons of Purgatory.

However it didn´t lasted long as the forces of Purgatory, and so the forces to control souls, became too much for the dragons to handle, after Mankind found back their knowledge about the arts of war.

The massive massacres and territorial wars, which the new created Ninja-nations and other armed human nations, caused, brought many souls to be freed from their bodies by forceful release, mainly by murder.

That led to them, without the knowledge of the other tribes, to divide Purgatory back in two realms, Paradise and Inferno, long time this System worked out fairly good, the Dragon-population grew and both clans mixed together.

However two of these Dragons were manipulated by the remaining Rabbits and Jackals, who were furious about being stripped of their powers, and thus the old conflict soon began from anew.

And all of that happened behind the veil of illusion, which was weaved by the Edemah Ruh themselves, in order to leave mankind oblivious about their existence, as dragons, Phoenixes and the like.

For them the Battles were most likely depicted as Natural disasters.

The Two Leaders, the Wild-sages, Kōgenryū of the Paradise-dragons and Armageddon of the Inferno-dragons, where pested by the malevolent intent of the two Ex-tribes and they fought in bloody brawls.

In a bitter battle, those two Dragons forced their own folks to battle against each other, families were ripped apart and brothers killed brothers.

In the end the sole survivor was a new-born Dragon, born by parents of each of the two clans, which refused to fight each other, a being made of both, Inferno and paradise, the very first and currently last Wild-Sage of Spirits.

The Council of elements however, felt sceptical about this new development and wanted to leave the dragon alone to die.

However, the new race which has been tasked to take care upon Purgatory, the Crows of Twilight, asked for tolerance, as the young Baby-dragon was not to be made responsible, for the sins of his brethren and ancestors or the manipulation of the Rabbits and Jackals.

The tribe of the wise Crows had surveyed the course of the world and the few Tribes, since their own birth as a tribe, living as Chronologists of the world under the tribe name, Mezame no Jinkan (Guardian of Time).

They divided the force of light and darkness within the task of leading souls and merged it together to create the element of Twilight, they were to handle good and evil on this Planet and keep the balance.

The dragon, which later was called in the old Edemah Ruh name, Vidadore delcas Dracon, short Vidadrac (the dragon who survived), as he was to be old enough, should then be tasked to lead the souls to the afterlife, nothing more and nothing less.

The Council accepted these conditions after much arguments, but decided the crows should to keep a closer look on him and were to be made responsible if something happened which would throw over the balance of the world.

And ever since this day, the Dragon held on his task as the righteous observer of Souls, until the day when a new Tamashī no Watashimori (Ferryman of souls) gets born.

Either from the Dragons or from the Crow.

However the three Titans weren´t defeated, over the course of the millennia they assimilated every bit of power to rise back upon the land.

A few Centuries after the Dragon-war, the sage of Rabbits, Kaguya Otsutsuki, one of three last remaining Rabbit-sage, managed to take upon the power of the Shinju through eating its grown fruit and ran amok later on.

The Titans lured towards the new world, through the boost of miasma, the hatred and malevolence of mankind against their god-/demon-queen, which was completely accumulated by the Shinju and later on released, as Kaguya's sons fought against the Juubi, as well as the Ninjas began to abuse the, out of Juubi´s force born, Jinnchuriki for their wars.

The titans once again brought calamity over the world, but the race of the Edemah Ruh, humanoid or animalistic, had nothing to set against them…, however they got reinforcement, as the Ninjas acknowledged the Danger and decided to fight alongside of them.

Above all the Senju-Clan fought to keep the planet safe, but they weren't strong enough.

The Crows of Twilight, at the last 500 years before the Titans resealing, then decided to repopulate with help of the Senju clan, the to that time strongest Ninja Clan, creating the ancestors of the Uzumaki Clan, a race with the power of the Edemah Ruh and the Knowledge of various sealing techniques and war-arts from the Ninjas.

With their help it was possible to bind the demons long enough to defeat them, after a millennium of war, as the forces of this Uzumaki Clan were edged in the very blood of the Clan members and they had learned to seal demons and other beings.

The strongest Titan of them was killed and the other two were slain in four pieces each, separated from their forces and souls, with each piece being sealed within another containment and send away from earth.

The dead Titan was meanwhile sealed, together with the evil souls of his brothers, within a separate containment, which was held, bound and guarded on Gensan no Kuni, to make sure they never could break out again.

However was the containment not strong enough to completely hold the evil influence of these beings away from the outside, some of it slipped through and began to pest the world slowly, step by step.

The planet had taken considerable damage and also the Edemah Ruh had once again many losses to claim, their number had been decimated drastically.

They weren't strong enough to repair the Planet, so, with help of the Uzumaki-clan, they used a Time traveling Jutsu, to fly with whole Gensan no kuni 1.000 years back in time, and changing the reality of the past.

However since then, the Titans somehow managed to always awake right after 2.000 years, in order to terrorize the world.´

"However the last time was 2.100 years ago, but 1.100 years ago a few of the Hell-gates broke opened and the world was flooded by demons, according to our investigators back then, a radical group tried to gather evil souls and energy for some shady purpose!" Grandmother Chika, the eldest of the Mezame no Jinkan clan, stated, as she read in her Chronic.

"Well we luckily could stop them, so I would say we managed this fairly nice!" The giant crow, on which back she flew through the air, stated.

"Maybe but we wouldn´t have done this without Tir-Ehen´s help!" Grandmother Chika replied as she looked at the boy lying next to her sleeping peacefully, just as she had ordered him to do.

They were on the way towards Gensan no Kuni for an important meeting with their former Family, even though they were treated as outcast by most of the Clan.

The very cause of this has lying 600 years in the past, an unfortunate and gruesome part of the sleeping Boy´s past.

"Yeah without his help we would most likely not have been able to defeat them, even with what came afterwards!" The crow stated.

"Rughian be silent, you know that we do not talk about this in his presence!" Grandmother Chika stated with a sharp hiss.

"My Poor grandson, I made you go through terrible times, I made you see and experience gruesome things, just because I misread the prophecy and our clan misunderstood the meaning of the last war.

They threw you into combat, in a war and at a time for which you weren't prepared in the slightest.

If only I would have trained you from day one, maybe it wouldn´t had to come so far back then!" grandmother Chika thought.

"I hope you can someday truly forgive me for my failure!" She mumbled, as she stroke a strain out of the boy´s face, he stirred a bit but remained sleeping.

"We aren´t far anymore, I already can see the shield, soon we will be there, but is it alright to bring Tir-Ehen along?" Rughian asked.

"It´s necessary, if the Clan-leader is right and the Saigai Kane (Disaster Bell) began to ring, than it directly concerns him as well, hopefully we still have time before it´s too late, we have to build up our army, they after all are 100 years too late from their usual Awakening!" She replied to him.

"I guess you are right…, i´m just concerned over him, what if they once again try to hurt him?" Rughian asked.

"I will defend him, but I hope that 600 years would have been enough for them to learn to keep their Wrath in check, regarding the Situation we are in.

Still you are right, this could be a trap, but why now, after 600 years, they could have done that earlier.

In either way it was real luck that their Crow found us and gave us their message, otherwise we would have been in Herim Tarun (Eye of God)by now and we are the only ones who freely can pass the Shield!" She replied to his question.

"Anyways, i´m gonna take a short nap too, wake me up when we arrive, got it?!" Grandmother Chika stated.

"I will!" Rughian replied while he flew over the endless desert of Gensan no Kuni, towards the Musei tamashī no tani (Valley of the silent souls) towards their old Home-village.

A place they hadn´t visited since about 600 years.

Part II: Chunin Exam 2nd Round.

Meanwhile in Konohagakure, in the Forest of Death, 19 Years after the 4th Ninja World war:

Bolt´s Pov:

Silence ruled in this one single moment of pure concentration, not a single leaf was moving, the wind seemed frozen, it was as if time itself stood still.

Every fibre of my Body was like under electricity.

My nerves were as stretched as an Archers bow, as I concentrated extremely hard.

I (16) breathed in and out, concentrating on what my Father had teach me, the feeling of presences, by their Chakra, through my Sennin modoo.

"So?" Sarada Uchiha (16), my team mate of Team 7, asked me.

"In the direct surrounding are no opponents, I will look over Byakugan!" I responded whispering.

Using my heritage inherited by my Mother, I was able to see for 5 Miles straight and on a 360° radius.

"Nothing, we are save, for now!" I said to her, after some time of scanning the area around us.

"Oh thank god!" Sarada said, before she sat herself on the ground and breathed up, she looked quite beaten, though our third member, Senpou-san and myself did not really look any better.

"Is everything alright?" I asked her concerned, scanning her cuts and wounds.

"Yeah i´m fine, why do you ask?" She asked with narrowed eyes, she always assumed that I think of her as being a weakling, just like this time as well.

I took out some bandages and my medical pocket, approaching her, in order to patch up her wounds.

I disinfected her scratches and cuts and treated her bruises, still I hesitated to touch her, but she said nothing to it, so I went on.

I took and smeared a salve on her hands, which had been burned by her own Katon Jutsu and patched up her legs, which had been wounded by the opponent's jutsu.

While I was helping her out as best as I could, I even thought to have seen, but my eyes probably are playing games with me, that she blushed a bit due to my soft touch.

I held her hand in a way in which I best could patch up her arm without hurting her more, than the wounds already did.

I used the best of medical Ninjutsu, I had learned by mother, which I could craft.

I was long not as fond in them as Himawari though, I was more the Attacker, Defender and Barricade-breaker, while she was fonder of the duties as Backup-support, Medic and Sensor/Espionage, in many of our mutual missions.

One could say whatever they want, but no matter what we never let friends down and we are always concerned about them, and mom always wants us to be prepared for the worst case anyways.

That's why we always have a fully prepared medical case with us, wherever on mission or not.

I truly had a hard time to learn some medical Jutsu from Mom, who had learned a bit from Sarada´s mother.

Ever since we started the Team 7 ,under Konohamaru-Sensei, I stopped being carefree and daydreaming, as well as pulling of jokes, as I always was as we weren´t even Genins.

No, now I was more concerned about my friends and my Teammates´ wellbeing, than about the successful accomplishment of a mission, still we always, in a way, managed to accomplish our missions successfully.

It´s something my father had teach me, who had learnt this by his Sensei, Kakashi-san, who then again learnt it by his Teammate, Obito-san and his Sensei, my Grandfather, Minato Namikaze, the Hokage of the 4th Generation.

My Father had learnt this, as he was as old as I was to that time.

While I was thinking of trying harder to learn medical Ninjutsu, I finished to patch up Sarada-san.

"So, I am finished, try to relax a bit, with stress nothing will heal good, you had to take much in earlier, so take it easy for a while, okay.

I´m really sorry that I couldn´t defend you effectively, I swear next time I will defend you girls properly!" I said, as I began to treat Senpou´s wounds, before starting with my own, with some help from Sarada and Senpou.

"Thanks, but seriously, you don´t have to always try to shield us from each attack, we have become ninjas and a team, because each of us have individual abilities, with which we are able to defeat our foes and accomplish our missions!" Senpou scolded me, with a soft tone and a friendly slap on the back, to which it hurt more than before, seriously this girl has enormous forces.

"Thanks for patching me up Bolt, I guess I should be real glad, that was nice of you, but Senpou´s right, we are not weak, only because we are girls, you know.

You should trust us more, seriously, this was nothing, just a little scuffle not more!" Sarada said adjusting her Glasses, while looking away blushing.

Seriously, it was often very hard for us, even for Konohamaru-sensei, to assume of what she was thinking, just like right now.

Even though I like her eyes and the way she looked to the side, when blushing, her cold analytic glance, when she uses her Sharingans, was something, not even I could stand long enough.

At least not long enough, to read her thoughts, before shifting my gaze, not that I fear that she would put me into a Genjutsu.

I think it was more a trauma after being constantly watched by her father, whenever we went out together to go grabbing a bit at Ichiraku or to a concert, of our mutual favourite group, together.

"Whoa hey, you girls, you know exactly that I never thought or believed that, I know you girls better than most other people and I am the last to say that you would be weak.

Still it didn´t looked like nothing though, even Sen and me were beaten up pretty rough by them, before we managed to escape.

I´m glad we made it out without much more severe wounds, but hell these guys were really strong!" I said, I was no weakling, many of my class comrades could sing some songs about that.

Still, we, means Sarada Uchiha, Senpou Rock (16) and I, Bolt Uzumaki, son of the Seventh Hokage, managed to get away with a few wounds and the Heaven-scroll, stolen from them.

Together with our Earth-scroll we almost accomplished the test so far, still there was a difficulty in it.

"I hope the others managed to get their scroll too, honestly it would be really bad, if we cannot get them one before the time runs out, which is tomorrow afternoon!" Senpou stated out loud, what I was thinking about.

She logically spoke of Mirai Sarutobi-sempai´s team, Team 10, consisting of Chouchou Akimichi, Shikadai Nara and Inojin Yamanaka, the Ino-Shika-Chou Trio of our generation, our best friends and our closest allies, even in this test.

At the ambush at those Suna-Genins, we unfortunately had to retreat and parted in two different directions, this way we couldn´t see if they managed to get a scroll or not.

"I bet they did, I mean after all, they are as strong as we are, not, theres no way that they will fail, however, let´s make a strategy, just in case they do didn´t managed to steal one.

Did you see the other Scrolls, those guys had with them, there was also a Heaven-scroll which our friends need, if we meet these guys again, we might be able to get the needed scroll for Shikadai´s team!" I explained and they nodded in approval.

"Now that we know their abilities, it might get easier!" Sarada stated and we nodded, thank god that her Sharingan awaked before the Chunin exam.

This way she was able to learn the abilities of our opponents, and with Shikadai´s brilliant mind, we can instantly create a strategy against them, this will get as easy as a cake.

"We better meet up with them, so we can speak about the strategy!" Senpou said and used Inojin's mark to connect her mind with the same.

"But still they are extremely strong, not to compare with most of the current Genins of Konoha or other villages!"

"Sure, they were Suna-Genins after all, they are well trained I would say!" Senpou said, as she began to stretch, I shifted my glance blushing.

To be honest I was really lucky to be in Team 7, since I had the chance to be in the same Group as Sarada and Senpou, the two are really beautiful girls, at least in mine and our friends´ eyes.

Honestly, I don´t think I was in love with anyone of them, at least I hope I was not, more for my own health and wellbeing as for any kind of reputation.

Anyways, Sarada would probably stomp me into the ground, for any lecherous thought she was thinking I would bear in my mind.

Somehow, out of good reasons, I truly believe she would kill me the moment she would find out, that I like her a lot, perhaps more than other friends.

There once was one of the other Genins who had developed a crush on her and practically stalked her for several months, annoying her to no end.

As it went too much for her, she stomped him in the ground, so hard that he left the academy the day after she told him off, later he was never been seen again, I think he even moved from Downtown to Uptown-Konoha.

Well then there was still Senpou, she´s really nice and beautiful, kind smart and a real friend…, but honestly, as nice as she is, I doubt I would survive a relationship with her, she has so much power that she often, though unintentionally, crushes my rips with her stormy embraces and bear hugs.

There are many who were and still are suspicious about our kind of relationship, in and outside of the team and always think there is more.

But there isn´t more than close friendship, we vowed to defend each other always, no matter against what.

Still, having a girlfriend, of the same attitude like they have, would not be that bad, wouldn´t it, I honestly have no idea.

But seriously I am young, my feelings for girls are not that strong yet, to me they simply were the closest and best friends I ever was able to make.

We once swore to be in the same team and to always take care about each other, at least so I thought before we found out about the Chunin Exam, and me about the last test, the test I feared the most.

Still, I think everything will be alright, at least I hope.

"Inojin and the other will meet us near the tower to discuss our strategy, we better should hurry, if we still want to sleep a bit before tomorrow comes, its soon night anyways!" Senpou said and we nodded, packing everything away, we orientated ourselves by running up in the tree-crowns.

While we ran towards the spoken location, I was thinking about a strategy.

Each of the girls is having useful and strong abilities, Sarada for example:

She was a great analytic, being able to precisely predict the Opponents movement, ever since she awoke her Sharingan, and she´s extremely strong anyways, thanks to her good genes and teachings, same as I and Sen.

Senpou was a nice Girl and even though she came more after her father, by being able to attack extremely quick with her Taijutsu, she was, different from Rock Lee; since she was able to use Ninjutsu as well, preferably weapon summon Jutsus, like her mother Tenten Chōponchi.

And me, Bolt, well thanks to my Byakugan, my Jukken, my Taijutsu and my increased senses, as well as my Sennin-Modoo, inherited from both of my Parents, I was able to sense the opponent from maximal 5 miles away, in a 360° radius.

"We got the Heaven-scroll, now that we have both scrolls, all what´s left is to get towards the tower as quick as possible, to help Shikadai´s team to get theirs, but logically without falling in another trap!" Sarada said, after we came down from the trees.

"Yeah, I'm glad when this Test is finally finished!" Senpou said sighing.

"Yeah!" I said weakly.

"Hey Bolt, what´s the matter?" Senpou asked me, scanning me off, concerned.

"I-It´s nothing!" I said, not willingly to spread my own fear among the others.

"Well it surely does not sounds like nothing!" Sarada said.

"C´mon what's the matter!" She asked.

"Well you see, Dad told me all about his time of doing the Chunin Exam and every time the last test was a fight against another randomly chosen student.

I fear that,…, well…, what if I have to fight against one of you guys, I don´t want to be the one to send one of you back to school or to break Team 7 apart!" I said to them.

Ever since the Chunin Exam had begun, this was my greatest fear, that I might be the one to have to fight against one of my friends, I would not be able to fight seriously against them.

"You are my Comrades and my closest Friends, without you I don´t want to be a Ninja!" I said to them blushing, they shifted their gaze blushing, while I almost saw the gears turning in their brains.

"Well, we neither want to leave you, how could we leave you all by yourself, I mean if I had to fight against anyone of you, I might not be able to truly fight seriously.

Konohamaru-sensei would go into early retirement, when anyone of us would fail this test, he announced this, you remember?

I mean we cannot let him down, he believes in us, or else he wouldn´t have subscribed our team for the Chunin exam, not.

I practically can see some grey hairs spreading on his head, if we would fail, hell Mirai Sempai wouldn´t ever live this down to him!" Sarada said with a smirk, Senpou and I had to chuckle at this.

It was very likely that Mirai-sempai would greet him, every time, with a smug grin if we would fail and her team would get through.

Beside of having become a super Jonin only recently, she was to take seriously in battles.

Still thanks to the fact, that she was only 4 years older than us, she truly was a goofball at times.

"No matter what happens, we won´t leave you Bolt, well at least not freely, if really the time would come that we have to fight against each other, then I rather would give up than hurting you guys just for my own success, what kind of friend would I be!" Senpou said and she fist bumped me.

"Thanks for this Sen!" I said and she nodded with a smile and a thumb up.

"Me too, even though I want to be Chunin, without you guys it just no fun!" Sarada said with a smug grin but a slight blush was to see on her cheeks.

"Alright then let´s promise, if two of us have to fight against each other, we will both give up!" I said and thy nodded.

"It won´t be so bad being a Genin at all, I mean after all my Dad and Sarada´s father had been stayed as Genin, while all their friends had become Chunin or even Jonin.

Still they later simply made them Jonins, since their battle power was way too strong to be counted in a normal Scale.

The current rank they have, is also said to be the rank of a Sannin.

Hell as Dad was as old as we now, he even beated the Sandaime Raikage, and together with his friends managed to even reseal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the goddess of Chakra, something almost no one, beside of the sage of the six paths and his brother ever managed to do, thanks to their extreme abilities.

They long had overthrown the power of the old Kages, both, Sarada´s father and my Dad, are on the level of the Sage of the six paths, as they were not older as we now!" I said and they were buff.

"Really, I never knew that?" Sarada said in awe, it was a well hidden secret, which, beside of Kakashi-san, Tsunade-san, Sakura-san and Sasuke-kun, only my Father knew.

Tsunade and Kakashi, the Hokages before my father, told them to never tell it to anyone, also due to the fact that most of the ninjas of the Shinobi alliance didn´t even believed it, due to being caught in the Genjutsu of the Tsukuyomi.

No one beside of the participants, knew of the battle against the fight against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

"Yes he does not really like to speak about this fact, but he was two years away to train with Jiraiya-sensei, from the Sannin, while all of his friends, mean our parents, became Chunin and others even later Jonins, but soon after the war, both were promoted by Kakashi-san to Special-Jonins!" I said and they looked shocked.

"Remember, five years ago, he had been the sensei of Mirai-sempai and many other children, even from other befriended villages, who came to our village, because they wanted to be, especially, taught by him.

I think he was one of the most popular Senseis in history.

And honestly, just imagine him being in the Chunin exam, especially here!" I said shivering.

"He would probably have blown up the entire forest at some point!" Sarada said.

"And probably beaten the poor Genins to death in the Arena!" Senpou said nodding.

"I bet that was the reason they didn´t let him in here anymore!" We said sweat-dropping in unison.

"Anyways now that this is settled, we better get going; the faster we meet up with the others, the faster we might end this damn test!" Sarada said.

"You speak my words, Sis!" Senpou stated, as she walked, fully pumped up with the power of youth, further away, I chuckled at this.

I surely was glad to be in a team with these two power-ladies, many had made me a head about that fact, but if they would know how this really looks like in the end, they would not dare to speak or make any nasty remark.

"Alright, let´s go!" Sarada said, as she looked at me with a smug grin and I nodded with a smile and so we made us back on our way.

Not knowing what for a danger was about to await us and our friends.

Part III: Omen of doom.

A few months earlier, in the Town of Origin.

Rughian´s Pov:

It didn´t lasted long as we arrived in the Valley of silent Souls.

"Here we are, everybody please get off my back, and we hope the flight with Rughian Air pleased you!" I stated, as I bended to the side, while one of my wings stood away towards the ground, so that both, Grandmother Chika as well as Tir-Ehen, my Partner and master, could slide down.

"Hmm hasn´t really changed the last time I was here, still empty as always!" Grandmother Chika stated, as she looked around.

"It´s similar to what I had thought of it, you´re right, it hasn´t changed as all, it´s still a dead land!" Tir-Ehen stated.

"Well guess we should get going they surely are waiting for us!" Grandmother Chika stated.

"Correction, they are waiting for you, I am forgotten by them, I bet very few still know me, or if they do, they will treat me with outmost hostility,… not that I haven´t deserved it!" Tir-Ehen stated.

"Stop painting Devils on the wall, we haven´t even met a soul by now, who knows maybe they have forgotten or forgave you!" Grandmother Chika stated optimistically.

"Yeah, though I can only hardly believe this!" Tir-Ehen replied sarcastically.

"Guys I don´t want to interrupt, but we have a tight schedule you know!" I stated and they nodded, as they set in motion.

The Earth shook as small earthquakes, middle-strong I would say, let the mountains and the desolation around us shivering.

Here and there the ground ripped open and created valves, for the planets energy, which only we and the Edemah Ruh could see, to stream out.

Earthquakes were though nothing new to Humanity, who were oblivious of their real meaning, at least for this time.

Countless of severe Earthquakes had happened throughout the history of mankind, one severer than the last one.

This was nothing new to the folk of Jinkan no Senkensha (The seers of time), who inherited the knowledge of the Humanity from ancient times, long before the Era of Ninjutsu and Ninshu.

Knowledge of times, long before the world was plunged into Chaos, long before the first of six Purges, an all-2.000-years returning unwanted Ritual.

Still even today, not many of the youngest knew what this Earthquakes really meant, only the eldest ones knew what was happening, as they recognized the sound, which was accompanying the dooming noise, the sound of an ancient Bell.

The sepulchral tone of the Saigai Kane (Disaster bell).

A bell, which stood high up over the roof tops, right in the middle of the town called Saisho to saigo no machi (Town of Alpha and Omega), high up in the Unmei no Kane-tō (Belfry of doom) and which was said to only ring, when the Countdown of the apocalyptic Battle, known as the Millennium Wars has begun.

"So they begin to awake once again, seems as well as we are running out of time, this time, it seems that many factors had gone wrong in the past, above all the break of the first 2 Gates 600 years.

They are 100 years too late from their usual awakening, I almost had hope that they would never rise up again…, oh how foolish was my wishful thinking, still I can prophesy dark times to come for sure!" The hoarse voice of Grandmother Chika, spoke to us as we walked up into the town.

Everywhere we could see how people, more ghost than physical being, ran around in hurry to bring their reserves for bad days, into the secure dens, deep under the earth, some elder People grabbed all of the ancient scrolls with their history and brought them into another , supposedly, secure place.

"Fools everywhere, do they truly believe that this would help, our Land is long dead, the old natural defence force, which it once had, fades away, this time for sure, the destruction will most likely also hit here.

No stone will be left unturned, especially since their Prison is not so far from us!" Grandmother Chika stated as she looked with a sad nod at her former folk.

Tir-Ehen meanwhile looked straight ahead, willing to attract as less attention as possible, even if it was invisible to the outside, I could feel that he was quiet nervous to be here again.

"Stop, who are you?" The guard in front of the Shed which we intended to simply enter, asked as he walked right in our way.

"Are you that gaga, that you not even recognize me, Rashuga?" Grandmother Chika asked with a threating hiss.

The Guard shivered, both in fear and respect.

"I´m most sorry dear Eldest, I was mistaken!" Rashuga stated sweat-dropping, as he let us going through, but stepping right into Tir-Ehen's way, looking at him with outmost hatred.

"What do you think you´re doing, dirt bag?" Rashuga asked, but Tir-ehen simply ignored him.

"Why you….!" The Guard shouted as he was about to punch Tir-Ehen, I was ready to jump right in, since my partner once swore to never fight against a Clan-member again.

"He´s with me…, this concerns him as well!" Grandmother Chika stated with an imperial voice which let the guard jump right back, as he suddenly recognized the masked hunchbacked, person in front of him.

She simply pushed him away lightly and still he almost crashed through the door.

"I…, I see!" the Guard only mumbled as he stood back up and went out of our way.

"Come, Tir-Ehen!" Grandmother Chika stated and together we walked into the shed.

"Erenor tarunor Neherit (damned you shall be, angle of Death, pitch black crow)!" I heard Rashuga mumbling, as Tir-Ehen walked through the door.

Before I entered, I glared through every fibre of his soul, which let him shivering and freeze.

"Know your place…, guard!" I whispered in his ears, before I entered.

"Aah Mother, wise elder Chika and Rughian it´s nice to see you again, how long has it been?!" The Chief of the Mezame no Jinkan Tribe asked, with the most fake smile which I ever saw in my life, as he greeted us in his shed, ignoring Tir-Ehen´s presence fully.

Not that the same did anything to stand out anyways, although he was as good as not even present to the Chief.

"600 years my dear Nasrith, since the day as you chased me, Rughian and your own Son out of the land!" Grandmother Chika countered with a glance of outmost disappointment.

A critical hit to Nasrith´s pride and nerve.

"I see, snappy as ever aren´t we mother?!" He asked with a groan of annoyance.

"Depends on how much you piss me off already!" grandmother Chika stated.

"Shouldn´t you greet your son as well?!" She asked with a glare.

"I have no son anymore and if I had him still, I wouldn´t know why I should greet such vermin!" Nasrith stated with hatred in every word.

"He is still your son and you know exactly that he was not to blame for what happened…, if anything it has been you and the rest of the village, I told you he was not ready yet you hadn´t allowed me to teach him!" Grandmother stated, with the very same hatred.

"HE KILLED MY WIFE, HIS OWN MOTHER AND MANY OF OUR BEST WARRIORS!" Nasrith screamed in wrath, hatred and sorrow.

"SHE SACRIFICED HER SELF TO STOP HIM LONG ENOUGH; FOR ME TO SEAL THE DEMON WHICH TOOK CONTROL OF HIM; INTO HIS BODY AND GET HIM OUT OF THERE.

ANSWER ME NASRITH MEZAKAN; WHO´S FAULT WAS IT, WHICH DROVE HIM INTO THIS CORNER…, IF YOU, AS I TOLD YOU, WOULD HAVE LET ME TEACH HIM IN OUR HIGH ART OF SPIRIT GUIDING AND EXORCISM; IT WOULD NEVER EVEN HAD TO COME SO FAR!" Grandmother screamed with outmost authority.

"I never could stand your shady practices, which you once wanted to force on me, they took away the woman I once fell in love…

Still I learned to love her even with this blemish, I loved her and this vermin took her away!" Nasrith, calmed down, stated.

He fixated Grandmother, still refusing to look at Tir-Ehen, who gazed out of the window with a melancholic and remorseful look in his eyes.

"It are the very same shady practices which saved this very Planet for so often, from being completely destroyed, and which you called for advise by your very self, same as you called for your son, who is the only one out of our Clan with real chance against the Titans!" Grandmother stated at him with a reproachful glare.

"I never called for this vermin to return!" Nasrith shouted.

"Don´t you dare to raise your voice at me young boy, I am still your mother, even if you banished me out of the village, and I don´t allow you to speak so ill of my grandson, who had to go through so much, pulled through hell by his father who had no clue what to do himself!" grandmother stated.

"I see, we still cannot agreed…, geez…, anyways let´s speak about the real matter at hand here!" Nasrith stated, calming his very temper.

He still was ignoring his very own son, who stood at the window, seemingly ignoring everything which was going on in the shed, however I knew better, even if he did not concentrated on it, he could hear and memorize everything.

"The awakening of the `Zetsumetsu no gishiki´ (Ritual of Extinction) has begun, so as it has been from so long ago.

The Day of the Seventh Millennium War, after the Titans first outbreak, after having appeared for the very first time, 20.000 years ago.

The Prophecy should be fulfilled this time, for 7 times of mourn have already passed, it is the 8th overall appearance of them.

The day of rewind is coming soon, when we, should this planet be saved from total destruction this time as well, travel with the new seal for thousand years back in time.

The days of the final Battles have soon arrived, we must prepare our forces, when the war comes we have to be prepared and stand as one!" Grandmother´s voice said, as she looked at her legitimate Grandson, with a heavy heart.

"How long do we have, honoured Elder?" Nasrith asked in a stiff manner.

"7 Months at least, regarding the slow beats of the Saigai Kane and as long as nothing triggers the hell-gates´ breaking to progress faster.

Also it matters on how strong they will be this time; after gathering enough power together, they might break out by themselves and attack us before we can be prepared and this time, there is perhaps nothing to easily stop them, as you know has our Clan almost been extinct in the last Millennium war.

450 members, myself, Rughian and Tir-Ehen excluded, might still be alive, and as much as I could see with my eyes are you guys estranged as well.

And even as strong as Tir-Ehen is, he alone cannot defeat them all, the Prophecy from our Ancestors spoke of 10 Children and 7 should be born to the same time, so we have to find the other 9 Children!" Grandmother Chika stated as she walked over to Tir-Ehen and put an arm over him.

"7 times this World has already being destroyed and devastated by Luziferius, Geaya and Chronos.

7 times our friends of the Uzumaki Clan had to use their forces to turn back the time.

7 times we failed to bring an end to this cycle, even though we used our own existence-force, killing numerous of us, unable to ever be reborn.

We shall no, we must not allow a 8th time, for we are the last remaining ones to fight!" The Elder said, as she placed a last glance out of the window, over the Desolation of the last wars.

The Valley of silent soul, which reached from the south-coast of the giant continent, towards one of the 10 Chain-pillars, which held up the prison of the 3 Towers in the Giant Rock ball, the Chibaku Tensei, as the ninja´s called it, somewhere between the large Desert of eternal cries and the Scorch desert.

She sighed a last time, with as much as sorrow her old heart and her current state of existence, as Soul in the false body, could allow her, before she turned back to face Nasrith.

"Why is it happening so late, I ask myself if it perhaps coheres with the last Demon-war, as 2 Gates broke down and flooded the world with demons, perhaps they didn´t managed to accumulate enough power!" Tir-Ehen stated.

"Possible, but we might never know the truth, all that´s important is to be prepared when they come!" grandmother Chika stated and under heavy burdens on her shoulders she sat back in the circle and stared into the flames.

"It is the punishment, a curse we are living under since so long, a curse to us, in order to atone for the sin of creating godlike beings we couldn´t even control in the slightest.

Instead of creating the saviours for Mankind and the Planet, we only created weapons of mass destruction which sees us and mankind as vermin who destroys the Planet and who needs to be exterminated!" grandmother Chika stated as she took out a pipe and a little box with pipe-weed, preparing and igniting the same.

She took a deep suck before letting the smoke back out and started to speak from anew.

"Our folk was and still is…, more or less…, a folk, with the power to create things and to become things, using the entire power from Mother Nature given to us.

Our whole being was bound to serve the earth, our all mother, and ever since the beginning of the world, we held our force hidden from the rest of humanity.

To our mother we should have returned, when the time comes for us to die, however, ever since the sin we committed, we are cursed to live as we do by now.

Now the only thing which is bound to earth is our soul, even when our body dies or rots away and with it our forces, our soul remains chained on earth to die in a gruesome way with no salvation in sight.

Flickering away like the light of a dying candle, erased as if it never had been lit in the first place.

We have to go against nature itself, in order to survive, by using bodies of living beings possessing them, or creating artificial bodies for ourselves!" Grandmother Chika stated as she took another suck of her pipe.

Tir-Ehen meanwhile sat himself between me and his grandmother, on the opposite side of the fire, away from his father, which he didn´t even looked in the eyes.

"To the time as they mutated to their former Titan form and they first attacked humanity, not one of us had an idea on how to prevent our world to be erased by them, for they constantly sucked out the planets force, in order to grow stronger and taller.

We searched for a way to prevent our all demise.

We tried our best to defend what we love, for we had no knowledge how to defeat a being, we though had created, but which long had evolved.

However as you might can imagine, had we no solution, no matter how hard we searched, there was no other option but to fight against them, together with the Humans.

Fighting was our final solution, if we wanted our beloved Mother Earth, our world, to be saved.

We fought as hard as we could, so long before our Leader of that time, my Husband, Tir-Noharin, managed to get a force from the slain pieces of the two weakest foes of them three.

A force, stronger than ours, but also of a darker nature, which he wanted to give to our folk.

A Force which, as evil as their original hosts had been, was as bright as the sun in our eyes, they were a key to defeat them.

The force, extracted out of the eyes of the demons.

Through this he managed to get the Chitosegan, the eyes, which penetrated the fabric of time, space and existence.

Called the almighty eyes, the strongest power, able to effectively dispel the entire attacks the Demons casted upon us, by seeing them from looking 60 minutes into the future.

A force like no other, for also we elder could only muse about the future!" grandmother Chika stated as she looked with a meaningful glance at Tir-Ehen.

"One of the eyes is in Tir-Ehen´s possession, the other one however has been lost since long time ago!" She stated, while Nasrith looked with rage at his son, which avoided his father's gazes.

I thought to hear something like, honourless piece of dirt, out of Nasrith´s mouth mumbling.

"However not everyone but only the strongest of us, were able to effectively use them, and even them couldn´t hold this force up for too long before resting them, meanwhile some of the eyes have spread but they must have grown weaker from before because many people can use them as much as I have seen.

The real power and potential of these eyes has not being ever woken again, but alone Tir-Ehen and Kaguya and her brethren managed to do this!" The elder spoke.

"It is truly amazing to see an hour long into the future at will, but what brings it to dispel attacks from the foe, when the own attacks have like no effect at all, Grandmother Chika?" I asked curious, and the elderly woman nodded.

"It was the same question also my husband asked himself, therefore he had been seeking a long time, for another way to fight them, and through his eyes he found a solution.

And so we became the power, to craft mighty energy weapons, created out of the evil force which remained in the other slain pieces of the three Titans, during the war; it was only thanks to our strong souls and our forces given from nature, that the dark will, weaved within their force, could not affect us.

For any normal human this power would have been deadly instantly.

The powerful chains, blades and Spears, able to overcome the fabrics of Time, Space and Existence.

Now we had the perfect armour, a shield able to block every attack, and a weapon able to effectively hurt the attack caster!" Grandmother stated and her face showed us a glance, as if she was back in the battle, I bet she remembered every second of it.

"With this we managed to seal two of them, bound by our Chains, but the last and strongest was too strong to be sealed, and so we made a momentous decision, by piercing the chains, blades and arrows through its heart, killing it in process.

With a last boost of power before dead, he broke the seals of his fellow siblings, before falling down, stripped of all his force.

However we were almost sure that the Titans would find a way to resurrect him again.

The two of them meanwhile used their power, fuelled with wrath for their slain brother and through sharing the remains of the power their brother gave them, to unchain themselves and to destroy our world in a terrible attack to the core of the Planet.

The Planet Shattered to pieces in a violent explosion and destroyed not only himself but also many Planets and stars around.

A deep depression was laid upon our folk, who somehow managed to survive on the piece of Land, on which we now stand, we failed to save our world, mankind and the nature which our mother gave us.

Having nothing else to lose, beside of our own, now worthless, existences anymore, but perhaps something to win back, our leader ordered his clan to gather its forces together a last time.

They split the clan, for one part used its complete power to create a new world, a new planet full of life, animals and mankind was resurrected again with the memories from before the world´s destruction, ready to keep on living.

This part was later the one who mostly repopulated itself with the Animals of the world, after possessing animals in order to live.

The rest of us, who later remained in humanoid form physical or not, used our forces to re-seal the two Demon-gods, we managed to destroy their bodies, splitting each one into four pieces.

However these acts took most of the forces, which we had stolen from the demons.

With our own remaining forces, we sealed them with in our planet.

Only millennia later we came on the idea of simply creating eight giant containments, out of the remaining pieces of the old world, the pieces of the shattered Planets and the stars which still floated around our new planet.

One for each part of their slain bodies; afterwards, we sent them far away into all directions, far away from our new world as new Planets.

To that first time however the Titans used their remaining forces, which were sealed together with them within our planets core, and the gathered force from the planet in their bodies, to destroy our newly resurrected planet yet again, as they rose upon the land once more.

They created an army, consisting of the milliards of humans which they had killed, brought out of time from the old world and mutated to monsters, creating legions of undead and minor to larger demons, which fought against us and tried to prevent us from sealing their masters' souls.

Holding strong against them, we managed to seal their masters deep within the core of our strongest Sealing Technique, called Kamigami no hitsugi no jutsu (Jutsu of the Gods-coffin), a stronger version than a simple Chibaku Tensei, it´s so to say a dimensional prison!" The elder spoke.

Everyone nodded and shivered, sunken in painful memories, having heard or read this sorrowful story more than once; for the pain and destruction from that time, had repeated itself too often, thought Grandmother Chika was most likely the only one to still clearly remember everything about it.

" During the Second Millennium War most of us lost their bodies and our souls remained on earth but unable to do much, as I told you guys before, we possessed humans and made their bodies our own, in order to later repopulate with the Senju-clan, creating the Uzumaki-clan.

However before the war broke out, we managed to save the first new-borns and our own children, born from our very own clan, by sending them away from the battlefield.

The curse set in motion, as soon as we killed the Titan and sealed his brothers for the very first time, during the first War, but as long as we had our bodies we could live as normal Edemah Ruh, but our bodies began to grow and age just like those of the humans, the bodies of our babies and new-born grew even faster than those who had been adults before the war.

Even when they looked Adult, they had the intellect of a 20 year old human.

Our Children had a year at most, in our time count, which means 100 human years, time to find a partner and giving birth to children with mixed blood, or else they would never have the chance to give birth to normal children.

These half-humans bore our secrets and our abilities, as well as having inherited the forces we had stolen, sealed within their genes, but not much of our old knowledge was left to them.

Most of them merged under the humans, but with every Generation who mixed the blood with other bloods, the forces became thinner.

The only solution would be to marry within the Clan, sharing their own bloods, holding it pure.

Those Pure-bloods were also most likely chosen as the human Sages by the Wild-sages, many strong and powerfull Ninja-clans came from them.

Such as the Otsutsuki-Clan, the Rabbit-sages called their kind together during the times of war and under the survivors were also a few of these few half Edemah Ruh.

Most of them managed to reach other humans, which took them in and cared about them, adopting them as orphans, people in faraway lands, save from the Battlefields, so we at least hoped back then!" The elder spoke.

"But what is about the curse you spoke, shouldn´t they suffer under it too?" Nasrith asked.

"As I said, the Curse forced us to our current existence, of bodiless ghostlike beings, even though the Demon-army killed us, couldn´t we die, we are stuck here on earth, we cannot die easily, but we also cannot really living.

You could say that in the way we truly are Ghosts, we don´t really need food, air or any other earthbound needs when we are in this form, we are but mere Echoes from ancient time, bound on this world to witness its rise and fall.

Even though we claim to others to feel, can´t we feel truly anymore or at least very little, we fake our non-existent feelings, for us to be able to express ourselves upon other races and nations, who are coming across our village.

But deep within us we don´t feel anything, for we have no real live anymore, nothing to lose but our existence, all we are, are eternal vessels for the memories of old time and those memories to come.

And all that drives us on is the wish for redemption, to bring an end to this cycle and so also of this kind of existence!" Grandmother Chika stated a she sucked on her pipe.

"The Curse of eternal regret is upon us, and we are bound to witness, how everything that we have and had gets erased and rewind, we cannot really progress further, over and over again we see how Empires rise and fall, for all eternity if we cannot stop the cycle, or when the moment comes when this world ends!" grandmother stated as she walked through the house outside in the back-court of the shed, she looked up in the stars.

The elder smiled, watching the beauty of nature and the universe, but it soon turned back in a grimace of sorrow.

"Once we were numerous but that's long ago, we are no longer the 40 million men strong Clan, that once created these beings!" I hear her mumbling.

"Once, before the first of the six previous purges, we found out that we too still could become kids, but we also found out that these kids were suffering under an even worse curse, for they were born already bodiless, and let´s be serious, which normal human, in their right mind, would be able to love ghost-like beings like we are.

The curse left us no choice but to possess humans or animals, if not we would likely someday be extinct.

Just as the curse said, our own successors would be cursed as well, our children, they became body-less people just like you and I, so to say, born ghosts!" The elder explained further.

"However, since 1.600 years there have been 2 children of us being born with corpses, Tir-ehen and Chikara..., by the way where is she?!" Grandmother Chika asked.

"Not here, since a long time..., where is she?!" Tir-ehen asked.

"Not here as you said and i wont tell you were she is, so you don´t even need to open ep your foul mouth to ask!" Nasrith spat.

"Anyways we come off topic, we were about speaking how we rewind the time after defeating and sealing the three Titans at different places.

This way the world had been saved, but the dark influence they had never really wavered, the Shinju, as if through a miracle, managed to survive as well.

We left it live, because we though that someday we could use it as power reserve, if they would ever Break out.

But as you know it came different and Kaguya Otsutsuki Clan managed to get the fruit, with the entire collected force inside, in her hands and accumulate our entire forces.

However only a few people knew, was that she was the daughter of the Wild-sage of Light-Rabbits, who fell in love with one of the Half-Edemah Ruh women of his Clan, giving birth to a Child with exceptional power, so mighty powers that she was able to take over our entire forces without even dying on it, however the forces slowly pested her heart and drove her to insanity and paranoia and a terrible god-complex.

The only other being which could rival her in her cruelty was her younger Brother Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Between them it gave a massive hatred for Kaguya was stronger than Momoshiki, as being the first born and blessed with the forces of her father the most, while her brother had but a much darker heart and no regard for other people´s lives, to be honest he had an even worsen god-complex than Kaguya.

In order to gain the power to overthrow his sister, he did even assimilated his own kind.

As they were both equal strong, they fought for supremacy over their Folk.

Kaguya, felt threaten by her brothers ability of absorbing Chakra and turning his own kind in nothing more but pills of pure power.

She opened a gate and fled together with her maids through it towards our world, it was to a time as beside of us Crows of the twilight, no one else of the Edemah Ruh were here in this world, each of the other Races were in their own realms.

Kaguya had inherited this ability from her father and was beside of him the only one.

While Kaguya searched for power, great enough to kill her brother if necessary, she observed him over Other-world Mirror, a mighty instrument to observe one dimension from another.

She had to witness how Momoshiki and his subordinate Kinshiki, murdered half of her entire folk, in order to become strong enough to defeat his father and take him over.

This way he would have been able to open the gate and find his sister.

Out of fear Kaguya broke the taboo and ate the fruit of the Shinju and so took over its immense power, but also its malevolence.

But she still was afraid and paranoid, so she decided to create an army out of mankind, to fight Momoshiki should he come through the gate.

She was long feared as demon herself and in her paranoia she believed to have enemies everywhere.

Especially as she had to witness that her both sons were born with Chakra, she though that the more she nursed them the more Chakra she would lose.

In the end she was so far as to be ready to kill them, a maid who could no longer watch her princess´ insanity, took it upon her to bring the two sons far away and rose them both up.

As both were old enough they rose against their mother, seeing the whole cruelty she brought over the world which was not even hers to begin with.

We should have stand against her, but we were too less to defeat her army and our Wild-sage himself rested his forces after having to fight against the resurrected Dragon-wild-sages, Kōgenryū and Armageddon, he barely survived and won the battle and later he had to seal them.

But we could not come in Contact to the other Wild-sages an ability, which can only be used by the Council of Elements!" Grandmother Chika stated and I was fascinated, this story I heard the first time.

"Hagoromo and Hamura prepared for a battle and we made it to our mission, to defend Humanity from their Brawl.

It lasted long but in the end, even with help of the Shinju itself, Kaguya was defeated by her own sons and sealed her away, but managed to leave a part of her in this world, which was to trigger her release.

Momoshiki saw this through his own Other-world Mirror, and lost interest on conquering her land which she had built up during her stay in our world.

He then made it to his mission to overthrow his own Father, and so he kept on assimilating his fellow Clan-members for strength.

It should last though a millennium as we now know, that he and his subordinate managed to do that, and they encountered a Shinobi called Sasuke Uchiha, who managed, with help of his comrades to once defeat Kaguya in Battle and seal her a second time, this time however in the 3rd Hell-circle, which picked Momoshiki´s interest.

Then on the search for her origin, the shinobi came across the gate to the Realm of the Light-rabbits, he went through and encountered Momoshiki and Kinshiki, but managed to flee.

Momoshiki, meanwhile have killed his father and mother, followed him, to obtain his powers, but he saw how strong Sasuke had been, so he needed power and sought after strong ninjas, encountering sooner or later the Seventh Hokage which was the Jinnchuriki of the Nine-tails.

However encountering both, the Hokage and Sasuke has been his and Kinshiki demise.

Ever since is the folk of the Light-rabbits without a wild-sage or leader and as such near it´s extinction.

Kaguya´s sons meanwhile had founded their own Clans, out of which also the later Senju clan came, with which we created the uzumaki Clan!" grandmother Chika told us and sucked on her pipe.

"Anyways, back to after the Kagyua-war.

A few Centuries after that time, the whole incident back then triggered the early awakening of the Two still alive Titans, it was their first awakening after having been sealed, and the beginning of the endless loop.

We managed to seal their souls, separated from their bodies which were stuck in the planets around us.

The world was destroyed and we had to turn back the time with all the seals coming with us.

It was the second destruction of the world, in order to prevent a mass panic, we erased the minds of people; everybody else had only memories, about the time, shortly after the war with Kaguya.

The Two souls were, together with the dead body of Luziferius, being sealed within the new created Fuinjutsu, Kamigami no hitsugi no Jutsu (the Jutsu of the God-Coffin).

However, different as from before, were the additional seal Chains, around the ball-shaped Jutsu, being crafted out of the existence-force of many of my clan members, who gave their last force to save our children, mankind and the planet.

Creating the Kinjutsu, Tamashī shīru kusari no jutsu (Jutsu of the Soul-seal chains) where one offers the own soul, to create Chains to seal someone or something, it was the completed version of the Uzumakis Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Sealing Chains).

These chains however weren´t as strong as the ones, our clan could have crafted, as we still were fully alive, with the power, stolen from the three Titans themselves.

The chains only managed to hold for exactly 1000 years before they have to be renewed!" The Elder explained.

"Which is not at all easy, it cost much of our lives and it last a long time, since they logically fight against the seals!" Tir-Ehen.

"Exactly, you are right my son.

Therefore the two managed to break out again, 2.000 years after we and the Clan of our successors managed to seal them.

The war we fought, once again lasted a millennium and still the world was devastated yet again, before we were able to reseal them and turn the time backwards for 1.000 years with the reality of our time.

But as if in a bad dream, they managed to break back out, this time however only their souls and forces, after 2.000 years.

Ever since we are trapped in a loop, 2.000 years peace rules, then they break out and fight for most likely a Millennium, which makes 3.000 years, we seal them and bring them back in time for 1.000 years and change our reality with the reality back then, to live another 2.000 years in peace!" grandmother Chika stated.

"But how do we do that even, I mean how is it possible to replace a reality from the past with our present one?!" I asked confused.

"With the forbidden Jutsu Genjitsu hanten no jutsu (Jutsu of the Reality Reversion), it's a complex Jutsu which can only be used by a group of skilled Sages and it´s way too complicated to explain.

It exists a Healing-Jutsu with the opposite effect, to replace the current self with a copy of the self from 24 hours ago, it comes in handy if you for example have to heal a patient with severed limbs, however the injury must have happened before 24 hours or else it´s permanent no matter what.

But it are very few people on this world who can even still use this Jutsu, it´s one of these so called Lost Jutsus, it's called Iyashino kako no jutsu (Jutsu of the healing past)!" Grandmother Chika explained and I nodded in awe.

Anyways we can now speak about endless stories from the past, fact is the Bell´s ringing which is for us all a call to arms!" She told Nasrith and Tir-Ehen.

"I see, so we will have to fight…, no matter how?" Tir-Ehen said, as he stepped next to her.

His eyes were fixed on a certain point far away into the desert, his voice was monotone, same as his gesture, but I knew him long ago to know that he was nervous and near freaking out.

"Maybe the Bell only began ringing thanks to the Earthquake, it´s not said that they will reappear!" He mumbled, trying to calm his own heart.

"No my son, this is impossible, I know your concern, believe me I do, I have seen these damned beings for far too often, to not know the Omens of Calamity.

The Bell was crafted out of the bones of the Two Titans, in which still a piece of their force is remaining, it reacts, when the two of them begin to wake up, that's why the bell only does ring to that time, first slowly but with the awakening, the rise and finally the breaking of their chains, the bell slays stronger and faster, no matter how strong a storm is or how dire an earthquake gets, it will remain silent, when the two are sleeping.

It is as if something had called out for them to awake, the last time has been before the last demon war 1100 years ago, you remember, Two hell-circles forcefully were broken through by someone….

At least I think it did, I don´t know for sure what happened back then, since you never speak about the past…

However what we also didn´t knew back then, was that the Titans only stirred up but not fully were awoken and yet we understood the ringing as a new rise of them and I guess that also was the reason why They send you to war without listening to my advices and pleads.

Someone really fucked up back then and in the end it was all blamed on you!" The Elder said, as she looked at the same spot before looking at the corner of her eyes, with narrowed eyes, fixating Nasrith.

"Elder, what happens if we cannot find strong and worthy warriors of this clan you told us about, this Uzumaki Clan?" Tir-Ehen asked.

"Then this world is doomed, and this time, for all eternity my son!" The Elder said.

"No matter how, our mission must be a success!" She stated with a strong but also old voice.

"I can see him before my inner eye, the one who might can rescue this world, the one who perhaps can bring an end to this cycle!" she mumbled, seeing the picture of a smiling young man, with shining, almost burning, hair and a young man with powerful eyes.

"What are you thinking about to do, Elder?" The chief asked his mother

"Send envoys in all corners of the world, they shall search all warriors of this clan which they can find.

These warriors, who would be able to help us bind or kill these Two Titans, I have such a bad feeling that this time, something even worse than before will happen.

we must find them, even though the clan has been extinct, there should be some surviviors somewhere throughout the lands.

Also send envoys to the Edemah Ruh clans, here in our world, get them together no matter what!" The Elder said, as we walked out of the shed, she looked up in the sky, seeing things we could only muse about.

"Of course, I will quickly tell them!" The Chief said, before he vanished inside of the village.

Beside of the monotone ringing of the Disaster Bell, nothing disturbed the silence, which laid upon this land.

"I hope that we soon will met us, young men, for you two may be the last hopes of this world!" Grandmother mumbled.

"Do you think they will really help us?!" Tir-Ehen asked his Grandmother after a while.

"Hard to say, they haven't forgiven yet and with the current situation of the broken Clan, it´s hard to say they even want to do something, the way I see it, they prepare anything to flee from this Planet, leaving it behind to die.

Geez this Nasrith, I really once hoped he would take upon my heritage…, in the end his poor son had to sacrifice himself for it.

He sends you into battle as unprepared as a toddler and then has the nerve to blame you for all the misery that came forth of it…, I honestly don´t understand that boy anymore…, anyways, I think I should prepare our own army, in the end the best is to take things in the own hands.

I will seek advice by lord Vidadrac, in order to notify all the Wild-sages and their folks.

Tir-Ehen we need a new location, a new base of operations, you think you can handle it?!" Grandmother asked him and he nodded.

"Leave it to me!" he stated.

"Thank you my son, and you Rughian, can you perhaps bring me towards Lord Vidadrac´s realm, my old bones won´t obey me anymore!" She asked me and I nodded.

"Of course mistress!" I said to her.

"Thank you my dear, later on you have to hep Tir-ehen, i will contact you when i need to come back, Tir-Ehen be careful and don´t overwork yourself, you still have to search the Uzumaki clans for me, you should probably start your search in Uzushiogakure.

It has been the old village of the Clan, however due to an unfortunate disaster a few years ago, the village has been fallen to ruins and most of the Clan perished in the flames!" She explained and he nodded in understanding.

"I will do as you say Grandmother Chika, no fear I can handle this!" Tir-Ehen stated, in his monotone voice but with strength in it.

"Then I will go now, when you are back you find me in the Giant Crater in the Land of Mountain, Rughian knows where it is, I count on you my friend!" He said to me.

"Of course I won´t disappoint you, Tir-Ehen, I will come hep you and if she calls me, i will bring her back home a swift as I can, no fear!" I replied and he nodded embracing me.

"Goodbye Rugh, Goodbye Grandmother!" He said embracing us both before letting himself falling from the cliff, before transforming and flying away over towards Herim Tarun.

"Well then let´s go, we have to hurry as well!" grandmother Chika stated and I nodded before transforming back in my giant Crow form.

"Rughian, did I ever taught you the song of hope, the one that our folk has been sung, ever since the first Purge so long ago?" She asked me, as she looked over to the mountains behind the valley.

"I know it mistress, although Tir-Ehen taught it to me!" I answered.

"Then I will sing it once again to you, and I hope you take it all in you, for this song is the last song which our ancestors sang for us

It is the blood of our folk, which we once shed, in order to save this world.

The message Tir-Ehen has to send the clan, they will perhaps remember what lies written deep within their blood, every member of our clan, had the story of our world being carved in his or her DNA, so they also have a part of it and a part of our possible future, as well as the Prophecy!" The Elder said, before she sighed, looking in the night sky, siting near the Cliff, embraced by my wings, to keep her warm, she began to sing.

"Soon we will be here no more

You'll hear our tale

Through our blood

Through my people

And the eagle's cry

The bear within will never lay to rest

Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Three Titans came

Saw the blessed land

We cared, you took

You fought, we lost

Not the war but an unfair fight

Sceneries painted gruesomely in blood

Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Once we were here

Where we have lived since the world began

And since time itself gave us this land

Our souls may join again the round

Devoted we searching, for our blessed land

And then eternally, we will live there again

Our home in peace 'n war 'n death

Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Once we were here

Where we have lived since the world began

And since time itself gave us this land!" And with these last words, the elder remained silent for a while.

"Let´s fly Rughian!" Grandmother Chika stated and I nodded, letting her up on my back.

"Our folk, that bore the force of this world since we were born, the force to create, to be and the force to see, beyond the centuries of our past, we are no longer what we are, but we might still have a chance to be.

If this world is saved, we can be how we once were, hopefully, maybe then, only then, our curse might be lifted.

I have waited for the one to come, the one to rescue us all, and he came as it seems, but if he is ready, this remained unseen to me, I gave my everything to make him strong, I hope it was enough.

Fly my son, fly and fulfill your mission, find the Village hidden under the Leaf!" She said and watched after the Tir-Ehen in his animal form, who flew far away in the sky.

I rose, with some wing beats up in the air and so we too flew away, in the opposite direction, towards Tir-Ehen´s master, the wise and old Lord Vidadrac, though he was younger than Gandmother Chika, who´s over 20.000 years old.

Part IV: Chunin Exam Round 2 /part 2: Months afterwards in Konohagakure, in the present time, Bolt´s Pov:

The Situation couldn´t be any worsen.

"Dammit!" I said, as I felt the pressure on my back.

"Did you really though, you could get away so easily?" The leader of the Suna-Genins said, as he stood before us, he was a tall boy from around my age, with many muscles and unfortunately also as much of brain.

"It was rather easy to track you down, we just had to follow the Chakra left on the scroll!" His partner said, a boy of the same stature like Senpou, minus her boobs, unfortunately way faster than her.

The last was a sadistic looking girl, who smiled by every pain filled shout we made.

"Seems like they underestimated us Jubal, and what are we doing with people who underestimate us?" The leader asked.

"We Show them who they are really messing with, not Irunari!" The one, who held me down with his sand forces, stated.

"Exactly, Jubal, and how do we show them, Rain?" he asked the girl, who had Sarada in her grasp.

"By letting them bleed!" The girl stated, quite too excited for my taste.

"Exactly, well then, let me show you what happens to babies, who try to mess with us, time to beg for your life!" Irunari said.

"First the girl here, who´s so proud of her Taijutsu, how about we break every single bone in your body, on that not even Taijutsu will be used by you anymore, that you will be as helpless as a toddler, Hiahahahaha!" Irunari laughed, as his sand wrapped around Senpou and threatened to squeeze the soul out of her.

"Aaaah!" I heard her screaming, as she spat blood.

"Let go of her, you miserable assholes!" I screamed, only to be punched in the gut by a fist made of sand.

"Yes this is what it means to be a true Ninja, to be able to kill and to enjoy it!" Rain laughed.

"Uaaargggh!" Senpou screamed, as she spat more blood, more and more flew over the sand.

"Let go of my friend!" I shouted in fury, trying to free myself from the Jutsu I was held, being crucified on a cross made of stone.

"Oh you are quite lively, well I will finish you off personally, but later, now to the other girl, hmm, how shall we do it, maybe cut her open and let her bleed to death!" Irunari laughed, as he crafted a knife out of sand and stone, while raising Sarada up in the air, her hands cuffed over her head, her feet were cuffed by chains attached on the ground.

That bastard began to cut her clothes open, I saw tears in her eyes, tears of pain and embarrassment.

I made me furious, and even I could only watch, for now, I gritted my teethes, even though the others told me not to do something, I really wanted to punch them to the moon.

"You Bastard, let go of her!" I screamed, as I saw Blood flowing over the sand.

"Well now to you, I think I might as well kill you with my own bare hands!" Irunari said, as he approached me and was laying his hands around my neck, he squeezed hard.

"Well, well, how does it feel to stand to close before dying, can you see your life so far before your eyes, or perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel, tell me, I really want to know!" He said, with a psychotic smile.

I tried to use chakra but it instantly got sucked away.

"Give up, your chakra won´t help you anyways, the more you craft, the stronger this trap gets and the stronger it sucks your chakra out!" Jubal laughed.

"Take the damn scroll and leave us alone!" I managed to say, under massive pain.

"Oh you think we care about this dumb test, we only assigned in here, to be able to kill Ninjas from everywhere and to steal their Jutsus, we even had to transform into these dumb forms, to not get caught!" Irunari said and gave us worthy informations, informations we didn´t even thought of finding.

"I see, so the Chunin exam yet again was infiltrated by fiend ninjas!" I mumbled.

"So now die, take your last breath and die!" He shouted, as he squeezed my neck so hard, so hard until it suddenly…

"Crack!"

"Haha you killed him, you managed to break his neck with your own hands, you are so strong Irunari!" Rain laughed, purred and snuggled up to her love interest.

"Pofff…Pofff…Pofff!" Suddenly my corpse vanished in a cloud of dust, same as Sarada and Senpou´s bodies.

"Huh, wait what the, what is happening here?" Irunari asked.

"You Guys are really stupid, did you really thought that you could kill or even hurt us so easily, I beg your pardon, you were only our little guinea pigs, to test our own abilities of information research, and we truly found out more than we wanted!" I said from out of the shadow.

"What the, I cannot move, what´s going on here Irunari!" Jubal asked fearfully.

"Is this a trap?" Rain asked terrified, as she witnessed how suddenly cuffs made of ink held them down.

"Huh wait what´s going on, dammit Rain what are you doing, are you betraying us?" Irunari asked his Teammate, as she began to roam through their pockets, emptying the same.

"I-I-I don´t know, my body is moving by itself!" Rain stated fearfully, sweating buckets, while emptying the pockets to take out four of the many scrolls the supposed to be Suna-Genins had gathered together.

Suddenly she fell unconscious, so it looked like.

"Rain!" I heard her friends shouting.

"We thank you dearly for this!" Suddenly Rain woke back up, her voice changed to the one of a boy.

"Rain, Rain what´s with you?" Irunari asked fearfully.

"Oh no fear she´s fine, she just has no power over her body anymore, I will tie you guys now up and help you to relax a bit!" Rain said, as she walked over to a tree and cut a thick branch of, with which she went back to her comrades.

"Sleep tight, my comrades!" She said before slaying the branch multiple times on both heads, slaying them bloody and unconscious in the progress.

"Huh what, what happened, Iru….. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, Irunari, Jubal, what happened?" The returned Rain shouted in horror, before she was knocked out by a storm-wind, pushing her with high speed in a massive tree, letting her fall unconscious.

"Dammit this was awesome guys!" I said, as I stepped out of my hideout.

"I have to say, your strategies always work Shikadai (16), compliment to your skills!" I said, as I fist-bumped him.

"Your Kagami-bushin in combination with Henge no Jutsu is not of bad parents either, they hold much more out than the usual ones the Jonins can do, how did you made these, I really would like to learn?" Shikadai asked.

"It's a secret, Shika, sorry but it´s a Neo-Uzumaki Hiden, made by my Sister, I won´t share it unless she tells me I may!" I said with a smile and he pouted.

"Anyways you really managed to create perfect copies of your team mates!" Inojin said, with a smirk.

"Even though i´m not really sure if you managed to completely create a clone of Sarada-san original-like, I mean, how did you do this anyways, to recreate her curves almost perfectly?" He asked me curiously as he snickered.

"Years of observation, my dear friend, I´m since years in the same team as her, so I was able to witness her evolution to a woman first hand!" I said laughing, bluntly without any ounce of shame, not noticing the said girl, who looked in fury with a deadly aura behind us.

We only recognized it, as we heard the cracking of knuckles, felt the glare and the deadly aura behind us.

"Wack!" Suddenly, a well-deserved left hook was placed on our back-heads.

My eyes teared up a little at this, but I knew all along that we had deserved it.

"i´m sorry Sarada-san, I should not have said that!" I said, as I bowed before the goddess of fury, the aura seemed to grow even more.

"You are perverted Pigs, Bolt, Inojin…., but still, thanks to you, Bolt, we are all alive, but did you really had to let it go so far.

I mean this guy almost would have seen me naked, same as you guys, if this would have happened, a simple back-head-slash wouldn´t have been enough, to punish you!" Sarada looked at me unforgivingly with a growl.

"I´m sorry Sarada, but note that I wouldn´t have let it come so far!" I said, as I took her by her hand and looked deep in her eyes, to show her of how honest I was about this.

I thought to have seen a blush on her face, for about a second, before she gave me a real stern look, and took her hand out of my grasp.

"You better keep your words!" She said, as she pointed her finger at me.

"Hey I always keep my word, that was my father´s ninja way and it is also mine, as long as I live I will do anything to defend my friends!" I said with an equal stern look at her.

We were buttheads since our birth, even thought we were friends we truly could get heathen up in arguments, but a fight between us lasted usually, not any longer than 2-3 days, before we cannot ignore us anymore and give it up apologizing both

"Hey, hey, you two lovebirds stop it, we got to go or else we might get ambushed yet again!" Chouchou Akimichi (16) said, with a stern look at us, earning a glare by us both.

"Shut up, fatty!" We both yelled, blushing embarrassed, although I instantly regretted what I said.

"So what, I´m just well feed, look at your own bodies, not a gram of muscles on it for heaving things up, and you call yourself a man.

And you, not even a gram fat, slim as a skeleton, not a bit of own body protection, one beat and you two would whine, lying on the floor crying!" Chouchou easily said, unfazed by the heavy insult, but instead simply gave it back on us, while she poked us.

"Dammit, if I would be as fat as you, I would have to be ashamed of myself!" Sarada said in a fit of anger, after being called a skeleton, a taboo word for her, still she went kind of overboard with this.

I had to stop her, before she truly says something, which she later would regret; beside of our constant bickering, we six were real good friends, and this friendship shouldn´t end here, especially not now and here.

"Now Sarada, stop it, before you regret it, don´t you dare to fall so deep, as to make a friend crying with something like this!" I said to her, finger-snapping her hard on the forehead, to which her wrath instantly flew away.

"OOOW, Eh, uhm, sorry!" She said, embarrassed and adjusting her glasses.

"But I hate it to be called a skeleton, it´s not like you don´t know this!" She said pointing at Chouchou, while we walked in the towers direction.

"Well stop call me fatty, not that I care much but still, anyways, I know that an Uchiha wouldn´t ever fall for a Senju Successor, and I mean you and Bolt, crass imagination, really!" Chouchou laughed and they all did as well beside of Sarada, who blushed and me who I felt a sour taste on my tongue.

"Well thank you, dearly, glad you are more unfazed by the fact that someone calls you names than me being mobbed by you guys!" I said, angry and my words dripping with sarcasm.

"Well it´s alright, as I said I know I'm chubby, and even if I am oversized fat, I still will be able to stand straight in a storm, while most around would simply being blown away.

Father always says, that it takes a lot to move a mountain, if he´s unwilling to move!" Chouchou said, and somehow I prayed my thanks to the heaven, that she always took jokes or insults about her (a little chubby) curves, with a simple counter-argument.

"Well it doesn't matter, you could be big boned, or be the model type, you know, skinny with no appetite, short, tall, black or white, as long as you feel alright, you can leave your body physics outta side, logically as long as feel like your own!" I said trying to rap a bit, just like uncle Killer B and she smiled with a peace sign to me.

"You are right, Bolt!" She said and laughed, I blushed, she always had such a friendly and happy smile, it made every wrath in our hearts, fleeing with flying colours.

"As long as I feel myself alright, you all can go buck yourselves!" She said, laughing loudly.

Did I forget to tell, that she had eat the irony with a spoon.

"Yeah right thanks, glad you are happy!" I said sarcastically, as I went forward.

"Hey guys look we are there!" Inojin (16) said excited.

He always has been the driving power between the three, the Ino-Shika-Chou trio of our generation, still as you have seen, he was a pervy as me.

Must be the bad influence of Mirai-sempai, who likes to, in the summer, appear before her team, extremely light dressed.

Konohamaru-sensei wasn´t any better, he often went in the hot spring, just to watch the girls, but hey we are boys in puberty, what the hell do you expect.

"Soon we will be able to see what is in these scrolls!" Inojin said, as he ran forward, as we were near the Tower.

Suddenly a sudden bad feeling crept up my spine.

"Inojin, Stop!" I shouted, but it was too late.

With all speed I could manage, and this was quite fast if I really turn up, I ran towards him, and was in a second at his side, ripping him away in the towers entrance, just in time.

"Baaaaaaammm!" A massive explosion went off.

"Cough, cough, oh holy shit!" he shouted, as we saw the hole which had been created inches from our feet away.

I passed out by the mere thought, of being blown into heaven already yet.

Sarada´s Pov:

"Goddammit that was rescue in last second, if you wouldn´t have been Bolt, I would have been ripped in thousand shreds!" We heard Inojin saying, but he got no answer.

"Bolt?" He asked.

"Shit, guys I need your help, quick, we got to bring him inside, he needs medical help real quick!" Inojin shouted, as the dust was fading away.

There he laid, blood on his forehead, unconscious.

"Bolt!" I shouted in fear, beside of our constant bickering, I liked him very much, more than anyone else of my friends.

"Oh no, Bolt!" The others shouted, as they went past me, I was paralysed with fear, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Watch out, there could be more mines hidden!" Inojin shouted and they stopped.

"Wait a second!" Inojin stated, as he looked around.

"Shikadai, use your new tool to blow the dust away!" Inojin said.

"How troublesome, but yeah, would be better, I have no intention to be blow into oblivion yet!" Shikadai said in his typical lazy manner, before using Kuchiyose no Jutsu to let a big fan appearing.

"A present from my mother!" He said.

"Ninpou, Kamaitachi no Jutsu!" he shouted, creating a strong Storm-wind, which blew the dust away.

"Oh Damn!" We said shocked, everywhere around the Tower, a giant mine field was planted by someone.

"Chou, can you destroy or deactivate them?" Inojin asked.

"Of course, you guys are not the only one who learned some new tricks.

Kaimetsu kaminari fīrudo no jutsu (Jutsu of the paralyzing thunder field)!" Chouchou shouted and used her Raiton based Jutsu, with which she set the soil in front of her under an electric current.

"Wait up, use this, Inku kyōryō kensetsu no jutsu (Jutsu of the ink-bridge construction), one of the Jutsus my father showed me, nice not, anyways, ah Bolt, he´s waking up again, c´mon quick!" Inojin shouted and out of his scroll a bridge, made of a painting, appeared.

I finally could move again, as I heard that Bolt was okay, I got to get a grip on myself, I was the medical kunoichi of our team after all.

"Awesome move, Inojin!" Chouchou said and we all went over the bridge.

At least we tried to.

"Oh no, you little bastards are going nowhere!" We heard it behind us.

"Dammit these guys from earlier, run!" Chouchou said and we ran over the bridge.

"Ha as if, die!" The Bitch of Suna shouted, as she threw some Kunais at us, who began to multiply themselves while flying at us.

"You think you can easily hurt my friends, Shanaroo (Hell no)!" I shouted in a fit of rage, as I used the right Finger signs.

"Katon: Goukayu no jutsu (Fire release, jutsu of the burning fireball)!" I shouted using the jutsu to burn the Kunais.

"Dammit!" I shouted, as a few managed to come through.

Even though I was able to use this Jutsu, had I not the right amount of Chakra, at last not on a normal way, to later stay conscious, and more than once I burned my own hands or lips.

I felt how everything went black and I prepared for the impact of the Bomb, plastered on the Kunais.

"I´m Sorry Mom, Dad, I failed the test!" I mumbled.

"Baaam!" I heard a massive explosion, as the whole minefield around me exploded but I felt no pain, no, instead I felt a rush of power, which made me wide awake.

"You think that I let you hurting and blowing up my best friends, forget it, you make me angry, and you wouldn´t like me angry, Dattebasa (Believe it)!" Bolt shouted holding me bridle style in his Arms; he was covered in a massive orange aura, which seemed like fire, almost, more like a moving shield, I noticed that I was covered in it as well.

His eyes had changed to bright red, almost demonic like, his Pupils had become slits.

I tried to figure out what had happened to him, by looking at his Chakra flow, but what I saw shocked me to the core, this seemed to be and also seemed to not be Bolts chakra, as if something was inside of him, something separate, that coexisted together with Bolt.

"Could this be, the Nine-tail´s Power, did Bolt inherited a piece of this Massive Chakra!" I thought in awe.

I heard and read much about Bolts father in the bibliotheca, so I also knew about Bolts father, The Hokage, being the Nine-Tail´s Jinnchuriki.

"Kyūbiko (Nine-tail-Fox)!" Bolt shouted, and the Chakra seemed to react to the call, with a massive roar, as if it had an own mind, could this be….

"A second Kyuubi!" I whispered in awe, as well as in fear.

I was amazed, as I witnessed how Bolt was covered in this Chakra that had the form of a fox with Nine tails, but significantly tinier as the one of his father, which I only heard of.

It was incomprehensible to me of how he still could remain conscious, it was as if he had his Bijuu, if it really was one, fully under control.

"Hey Sarada!" he said and I looked at him, only now I recognized that I still was in his grasp.

"Y-yes?" I asked fearfully.

"Please don´t tell this to someone, it is a secret, not even my parents know about it, I don´t know what they would do.

Kyūbiko is not evil as you maybe fear, it is in me since my birth and has always been my friend, it mostly sleeps and only wakes when I call him, and I only call him when I feel that it´s the right time, this was the right time, if not Inojin would have died in this explosion, same as you right now.

It helps me to defend my friends, you don´t need to know more if you don´t want to know, just please don´t hate me now!" Bolt explained, as he sat me on the ground, while we were shielded all around from a huge dust cloud.

I was amazed of how affectionate he speaks about Kyūbiko, as if it was a pet.

"I won´t tell the others!" I said and he looked with a cute smile at me.

I blushed, even more as he took out some bandages to treat my burnt hands, from my Jutsu from earlier; I slightly miscalculated the power I needed, as I was in a rush.

Bolt helped me to stand up and I leaned at him for testing my footing.

"I will treat this here as a secret, if you keep everything concerning Kyūbiko a secret!" he said and I nodded.

"I will wove it!" I said and he smiled.

"Are you okay, I gave you a charge of Kyūbiko´s Chakra, I hope it will leave no side effects later, sorry that I made you to my Guinea Pig, but I am currently learning in secret, on how to control his chakra!" Bolt said.

"I´m okay, thanks for saving me, I owe you one!" I said, as I re-adjusted my glasses, and stepped back on my own feet, the feeling of falling unconscious was blown away, my head was all clear.

"Well shall we beat these guys, who dared to injure our friends, up?" I asked, as my glasses flashed, I smirked easily, as I awoke my Sharingan.

"But of course, with gusto!" Bolt said, being, literally, fire and flame for this.

"Burējingu inferuno ken no Jutsu (Jutsu of the burning inferno Sword)!" Bolt shouted, creating a sword of fire.

"I defend my Friends with all my heart, with all my body and with all my soul, never will I give up, that is my Ninja-way, Dattebasa!" He shouted, while he shielded me from all attacks the Suna-Genin used through the wall of dust.

And let me tell you they certainly weren't stingy with their attacks, however the Jutsus they used, that I was certain of, were way too strong for being from a Genin; expect of course us.

A terrible suspicion came into my mind.

"Chidori!" I shouted, engulfing my hand into fire red sparks, it seemed to be stronger than ever before.

"Wow, your chakra is awesome!" I said in awe, as I felt this new power.

"Yeah but as I said, I don´t know if it will hold any kind of side effects!" he said weakly.

He cut a massive fire ball in pieces, with rapid slashes, feeding its own sword on the chakra of the attack.

This way the blade enlarged even more, he went in attacking stance, ready to charge on our enemy.

"Bolt be careful, I think these guys are no Genins, I think they are fiend ninjas in disguise, probably Jonins, this would also explain what they meant earlier!" I said, as I went in a fighting stance.

"Yeah, I came to the same conclusion, for this they managed to recover way too quickly, I mean it were some severe wounds we gave them.

Hell Inojin practically beated them to death, as he was in the corpse of this women, and Shikadai made the girl flying through a massive tree, they recovered too quickly for normal Genin!" Bolt said and I nodded.

"Anyways, are you helping me, Sarada?" He asked and I blushed a bit.

It was the first time, since we were in a team, that he asked me, or anyone in particular, directly at the beginning of a battle to help him, he usually runs head forward in the danger and only later asks for assistance.

This had a real heavy meaning to me, it meant that he trusts me blindly, I cannot disappoint him now.

"Sure thing, Bolt, let´s show them with whom they are messing!" I said, with my trade mark grin, the dust cloud began to fade away.

"Are you going to open a year´s worth?" Bolt asked me.

"Perhaps, depends on how strong they really are, when they don´t disguise themselves.

After all we know, this seems to be no ordinary Henge no Jutsu, or else it would have already stopped, the moment we knocked them out earlier!" I said and he nodded.

"Their attacks are coming rapidly, one after another, which means that they have more chakra than a normal Genin.

The way they talked about wanting to kill Genins or ninjas in particular, tells me that they are either out of a forbidden village, or Nukenin in a massive disguise, anyways it would be bad, not only for the other teams but for the whole exam if we would leave them roaming and attacking other teams, I still remember the stories my mother told me about Orochimarus attack at Konoha, where Konohamaru-Sensei´s Grandfather, the Hokage of the 3rd generation, died.

She said that Orochimaru and a few of his man used a strange kind of Jutsu to disguise as ninjas they had killed earlier, stealing their faces.

I have such a bad suspicion that these guys were using the same Jutsu, what you think?" I asked Bolt.

"Probably, but it gets us nowhere to just muse about possibilities, we have to find out the truth anyways.

Honestly, it would be really bad to have to fight against them in the test, best would be if they fly out of the test before, don´t you agree?" Bolt replied.

"You speak my words!" I answered.

"Guys, cough, are you alright?" Shikadai asked, as he fanned the dust-cloud away, without using a jutsu.

"Yeah we are, how about you guys, are you alright?" Bolt asked.

"Yeah, Chouchou has only minor injuries at her back though and Senpou has maybe a sprained Leg, as she tried to shield her!" Shikadai explained, still trying to see something.

However, bolts tail was swayed up new dust.

"Alright, bring them inside and open the Scrolls, if I assume right, after what my father told me, the Jonins responsible for us, will appear out of one of them.

They shall ask for help, maybe also for my Father, we will try our best by stopping these guys!" Bolt said with a hard voice, which allowed no contra.

"Sure thing, Leader!" Shikadai said, and went away.

"Alright now I can freely fight, did you hear Kyūbiko, time to turn this up!" Bolt said and once again, he was covered in this fiery Aura.

It was amazing to see, and the waves of power made the air around us vibrating.

"Ready Sarada?" He asked, at me with a smile.

"Sure thing!" I said, replying with an equal smile.

"Well then let´s go!" he shouted and jumped, at top speed, through the cloud of dust.

I had effort to get after him, no matter how fast I was naturally.

"Haaaaaaa!" Irunari shouted, as he came at us.

As assumed had his whole body changed, he was much taller, and overall looked older, but also gruesome in a way.

He had that non caring, evil smile I often see at our enemies during our missions, these peoples have no scruple, to sacrifice their own teammates in order to kill their prey.

People say that dad was once the same way, I do not know wherever this is true or not, nor do I really care, my dad is my dad, a loving father, who however isn´t often at home due to his missions, I know him no better.

I know my dad isn´t really, what people are calling, a well seen guest in the village, I guess that why we are living so far from the village´s centre, far in the outskirts of the old village.

Still it had many advantages, we could train without minding the noise, nor having to always take care about people who might wander across our `garden´, means the forest behind the house, while practicing long range attacks.

The few people who even come near our home, are those my mother, my brother and my Father are working with, and logically my friends, beside of them no one else ever dares to come near `the cursed villa´.

But still, even with this, I love my life, ever since Bolt more or less dragged it into the light.

"I will shield you, defeat him with Chidori!" Bolt said over something like telepathy.

I would question that later, I bet it was due to the Chakra he gave me.

"Alright!" I thought back.

"Raaaar, die you little pests!" Irunari shouted, as he attacked with his sand.

Bolt blocked the same of, with a shield made of fire, while I jumped over his back, upwards and pierced my hand right through Irunari´s shoulder, blasting his arm of in the progress.

"Aaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh, you little fuck!" The same shouted in pain, as he clutched his bleeding shoulder.

"Irunari, dammit, you miserable bastards!" Rain shouted in wrath, as she and Jubal attacked from both sides.

"Our combo!" Bolt shouted, and I blushed a bit, but I instantly understood, beside of the adrenaline I remained concentrated.

It was a combination we once created in a mission, in which we had two opponents of different Chakra elements, it was extremely effective to this time, and Konohamaru called us a dynamic duo.

Ever since it was our finishing move as long as we know it will work.

I ran towards Bolt and he to me, recognizing the spinning sphere in his right hand, it was really hard to use and even more one handed.

I can sing a song about it, I was trying to copy it, let me tell you, even with my Sharingan I was not able to copy it, at least not as perfect as he and his father and sister can.

Somehow, for others, other than Kakashi-sensei, it was easier to craft both handed, but Bolt managed it fairly easy, even easier than his father if he´s not in Bijuu modoo.

"Now!" He shouted, as we were almost past each other, I grabbed his free hand, we spun around our axis, rapidly, before jumping each back in the direction we came from.

Both our opponents had no chance to escape, but in case it would happen, I used my Sharingan to detect their movements, neck-breaking reflex-movements were now futile anyways.

"Chidori!" I shouted, as I blasted a hole in Rains shoulder, after adjusting my own movements to Rain´s, who tried to in last attack dodge my attack and tore even more away, as by Irunari.

My Sharingan was strong, but the price I had to pay for them was almost too high, I got them as Bolt had been deadly wounded, while he shielded me from the attack of a fiend ninja, during an ambush at the starlight festival 2 years ago.

I never forgot it and I also never had been able to stop apologizing for it, whenever Bolt gets hurt in missions, no matter how often Bolt said it was not my fault.

Back then, I was so scared that he would die, and somehow my Sharingan just activated, while sitting in the hospital, all alone fearing for his life, crying my eyes out.

It was the day I found out that I was in love with Bolt, but it was also the day where I found out what it means to be a living target, and what it means towards my friends who are standing by my side.

It was silly, we went on a date together, more out of coincidence but still, and in the end it almost resulted in the death of him, my most beloved person beside of Katsuo.

During that ambush, Senpou was shot in her leg, and Bolt saved me by taking the bullets who were aiming at me, right in his head.

It was pure luck that he survived it, I think in the same moment as I saw him falling, my Sharingan activated.

"Fuuton Rasen Shuriken!" I heard Bolt shouting, as he, at the same time to my attack, practically pulverised Jubal.

"Baaaammmm!" They flew backwards.

"Aaaaarrrrggghh!" they screamed, as they crashed to the ground.

"What the hell is wrong with those children, how can they be so strong!" Rain gasped in pain, her right side almost completely torn of.

It was a real riddle to me, how she still could be alive, less conscious.

"You should have known better than to attack our friends!" I said to her, a demonic Aura around me, not less thanks to Bolts Chakra he gave me.

"Dammit, these eyes, I thought there was no damn Uchiha alive anymore!" Rain said, as she spat blood.

"Well seems like you are deadly wrong informed, dad and I, we are alive, very alive!" I said threating, using Chakura no Mesu (Chakra scalpel), with which I cut her muscles through her other shoulder, not minding the screams a bit, this way I disabled her to use her left arms and so her left hand.

"Well this has been done, and now, you tell us all you know!" We said.

"Ha as if, you won´t get something out of me!" Rain shouted.

"Well you know, actually we don´t really need two persons to find out what you guys are up to, one is good enough for that!" I said as I pointed my Chakra scalpel at her heart.

"Whaaa wait, wait a second, I tell, you, I tell you!" Rain whined.

"Well that´s what I want to hear!" I said smiling.

Suddenly I felt a wave of massive power coming at us, a familiar feeling whenever the Ho…..

"Bolt!" I shouted and he understood instantly, concentrating on hiding Kyūbiko back in his body.

Howeverthis also enabled the still, more or less, alive Jubal, to use a kunai, attempting to pierce it through Bolts heart.

"Watch out!" I shouted, fearing for the worst.

But before my words even were out of my mouth, Jubal had been disarmed and grabbed by his neck, by no other but Chouchou´s Father, Chouji Akimichi, a mountain of a man.

Friendly at every normal day, but scary , really scary when enraged.

"You Bastard, you hurt my beautiful daughter!" The same screamed, borderless outraged.

"Sarada watch out!" Bolt suddenly shouted, and I only looked in time, to see a smiling Rain, who wore an evil smirk on her face, still I thought it was too late.

"Shōten bakuhatsu no jutsu (Jutsu of the Ascension explosion)!" She shouted.

"Haaaaah!" I heard Bolt´s scream, as I was ripped, in a massive and quite hurtful grab, away from Rain, seconds before the same exploded in a massive detonation.

We, means as I recognized only now, Bolt and me, were blasted far away high up in the air, before crashing on the ground, I bet that will get some scars and rips broke as well as I assume.

"Aaaah goddammit!" I heard Bolt moaning in pain as we landed hurtfully on the ground

I groaned in pain, while I tried to open my eyes, only to see, that I was lying right upon him.

I had landed with my butt, right on his back-head, pushing his face in the soil, to say that I was tomato red, was an understatement.

I was sure my head would break up any minute, and release a fountain of blood.

"Would you have the kindness, to take your well-shaped rump of my head?" I heard in my thoughts, as I saw him being enveloped in Kyūbiko's Chakra.

Which explains why he was able to suddenly grab me and rip me away from the explosion, despite the fact that he was practically a hundred meters away from me and Rain.

I still blushed deep red as I quickly stood up, not to the least because he called my butt a `well-shaped rump´ but I had to mentally note, that this situation was not to blame on Bolt, but entirely on myself, for being careless.

"I´m sorry!" I said, as I helped him standing up.

"Oooh my head, this really was by a hair breed I would say!" He said, as he sat up, rubbing his back head.

He was bleeding out of his nose, however I was unsure, wherever this was because he had pervy thoughts or because of the fall.

"Are you alright Sarada?" He asked me, coming out with the medical case again, though he truly need it more than myself.

Still, I liked this part of him, that he was always concerned about his friends, even me, even though I knew much of medical jutsu myself.

"Yes, you saved me again!" I said blushing, as he placed a hand on my cheek.

"Of course, as often as you want!" He stated smiling his killer smile, I blushed cutely.

"I owe you big time!" I said smiling, as I flinched as he disinfected my wounds.

"Bolt, Sarada!" We heard and looked to see our fathers running up to us.

"Bolt!" I said fearfully, as he still was enveloped by Kyūbiko's Chakra.

Even though he wanted to keep it as a secret before the adults, he only looked normally towards his dad, I don´t even know, if he really was aware of his current state, or what kind of a reveal this would be to the village.

"Are you okay?" Bolt´s father, the Hokage (35), asked his son.

The way he asked made me looking quizzically, he asked like a normal father, being concerned about his normal son being hurt, as if he was minding the current appearance of his son not a bit.

"Yeah I'm fine, thanks to Kyūbiko's fast reaction!" Bolt said, watching every facial movement of his father.

"Kyūbiko?" The same asked confused, before noticing the red aura.

"I see, well I have to thank him then, I guess?" Mr Uzumaki said.

"Wait you don´t tell me to get rid of him, or that he is evil, or that he is an abnormality or that he is Dangerous, that he might destroy the village when he runs in a fit of rage?" Bolt asked confused, while I watched the scene out of my father's (35) embrace.

"WOCK!" suddenly a mighty beat was directed towards Bolt´s head, by his Father, the same instantly had tears in his eyes.

"OW, what the heck was that for?" Bolt shouted at his father.

"For what of a kind of monster are you holding me?" His father shouted back at his son.

Everyone was silent, it came close to the silence of a graveyard, beside of Irunari´s whines and Jubal´s groans.

"Do you really think that I would be angry for something you could not affect in the slightest, for something that has been born with you, that is a part of you?

All I understand, when hearing about him, is that he´s capable to protect you and your friends from danger, I can only say, I'm glad that you have him by your side.

However I honestly have to say that I am truly disappointed with you, that you wanted to keep it a secret from me, less that fact that you think I or even your mother, would tell you to get rid of him.

Sigh, really is my reputation in your eyes, sunk so low, oh my, anyways, do not worry, I knew it from the start on anyways!" The Hokage said.

"Wait you knew about him, how so?" Bolt asked confused.

"Kurama can see him, as a matter of fact and even communicate with him over a long range, it seems that both are interacting in the same dimension, while they are in us, you are my son after all.

It´s only logical, that we have a connection between our Spirits!" Mr. Uzumaki said nodding.

"Wait, if you knew about it, weren´t you one second long worried about this?

I mean he is a Bijuu after all, a second Kyuubi even, I thought you of all people, would be the first to panic about this case?" Bolt asked confused.

"Of course I was, with Bijuus one does not necessarily joke around, they might be all really friendly if you take the time to get to know them, but they still are dangerous beings.

If they are not fully being able to control themselves, they might destroy a small village in a sudden fit of rage, there you are right, still, I trust you and Kyūbiko.

I knew I might could be dangerous for you or the village, however I wanted to see of how it evolves over the time if it lives in an environment like you do.

Hell Hinata and Sakura almost ripped my head off, as I asked them for permission.

Also was I not able to predict, how this would have affected you, I mean psychically as well physically, since in a way, you are the first, literally, born Jinnchuriki.

Of course I also spoke with Gaara and the others Kages over the possible risks, but also about the things I would do, if anyone would try to hurt you.

We all decided to remain silent about this, until the day to tell you in a way that you would understand and accept it.

However, I had no idea that you knew since your childhood that he was in you, let alone, that you could interact with him, that's truly outstanding.

Honestly, I for myself never knew about Kurama, 12 years long, since my birth, I was oblivious about the fact and of why people looked at me as if I had a dire sickness, also thanks to the 3rd Hokage, who forbid to talk about it.

Therefore, the greatest reason, at least for me, was, that I didn´t wanted you to feel, in any kind, different than other children, I know all too well, in what this can result!" Bolt´s father said, closing his eyes, over my Sharingan I saw his mimic shifting, as if he just remembered something unpleasant.

"Father?" Bolt asked, looking concerned.

"Huh, what's the matter Bolt?" The Hokage asked concerned, as Bolt looked worried at him.

"Does Himawari, has one too?" Bolt asked and now that he pointed it out, it hit me like a brick to the face and I paled, hell I didn´t even considered this until now.

"No, at least not that Kurama or I could sense, it seems your sister came far more after you Mother than after me, and not only because of her look, you know that.

Since you are the firstborn you came more after me, it had been only logical that you might got more of mine and Kurama´s Chakra and DNA!" Bolts father explained.

"Pheww, then I am glad!" The same said, but his father still looked worried.

"I was not done yet son, she has no Kyuubi in her, but a similar being had a strong influence on her, it happened 3 years after her birth, she befriended a little white fox, a rare race, here in our surroundings.

She called it Kitsune, it still was a baby fox, having lost its mother; Himawari began to care about him, becoming its new mother.

However a few years later, the Fox, now grown, was killed, as fiend ninjas attacked the village, the poor little animal fell victim to a ninja using Kawarimi no jutsu (Jutsu of replacement).

For Himawari this was a true shock, it left her in a trauma, perhaps you still remember, you were 8 at that time!" Bolt´s father explained.

"Anyways, out of unknown reasons, the ghost of the fox seemed, to never truly have vanished from her side.

If she becomes truly emotional during a battle, her chakra becomes bright white and takes on the form of a one tailed fox, strong enough to get her characteristics of Kitsune.

Such as the eyes of him, Blue with slit-pupils, the red fur marks it had, are becoming visible on her face, she becomes canine fangs and claw-like nails!" Bolts father said, however I cannot remember to ever have seen something like that on Himawari.

"Anyways, I never thought nor would I have believed, that Bijuus were able, in a way, to become offspring.

Still, it also never happened that a Jinnchuriki gave birth to a child!" Mr. Uzumaki said.

"But Mr Uzumaki, I mean, Hokage-sensei, hasn´t your mother being the former Jinnchuriki of the Kyuubi before you?" I asked confused.

"Yeah she´s right, how does that come?" Bolt asked.

"Well I guess you can explain that this way, since yes, my mom, as a Jinnchuriki gave birth to me, but different as from me, was Kurama still under a seal, and later has been forcefully being sealed within me, so it was not a proper birth, as a Jinnchuriki, not like by you.

As you have originated in your mom's belly, Kurama was a free Bijuu, free from all seals and free from all hatred, staying freely within me.

So it seems, that next to genes also a piece of Kurama had been shared with you, out of which Kyūbiko originated, so in a way it is a piece of Kurama, which evolved, creating an own personality.

And the reason that it has not become evil, is for the first, that Kurama is not evil or hateful either, at least not anymore.

For the second reason, as I said earlier, because your mom and I loved you from the very first moment on, and you as well as your Bijuu grew up in a loving environment!" Bolt´s father explained.

"I see, well i´m glad I don´t have to hide him anymore!" Bolt said and suddenly a little fox appeared sitting on his head.

"Looking closely, one could see that he still was stuck halfway in Bolt´s body.

"Biko!" I shouted in a pleased tone, while sunning in the noon sun.

"He Says hello, nice to meet you!" Bolt translated.

"Nice to meet you too Kyūbiko, thank you for helping my son!" Mr. Uzumaki said, as he caressed the little fur ball.

"Bikooooo!" the little fox shouted happily, enjoying the caressing very much, lying flat on Bolts head.

"Really, thank you; he says that since I let him seeing so much of the outer world, it would be the least he could do to repay it, and that he can´t imagine a better partner!" Bolt said, as he caressed the little fox between his ears.

It really looked as if a mini Kyuubi was sitting on His head, still it was bigger than average foxes, its head alone was as big as the one of Akamaru, still it did not looked, as if he was all too heavy, for Bolt didn´t even broke in sweat while carrying half its body on his head.

"You know I often have a Black shirt on, and Kyūbiko looks with his eyes out of my body, this then looks as if the eyes are printed on the shirt, but since he also moves the eyes sometimes, this creeps the people out!" Bolt smiled sheepishly and the Fox on his head snickered as well.

"Wait that means, that every time I say I feel watched, it was him?" I asked and Bolt nodded blushing.

"Yeah, sorry about this!" He lamely said, I knew all along that he was amused to no end by this fact.

"He always says you are quite beautiful!" Bolt says and I blushed deep red.

"Th-thanks Kyūbiko!" I said, I was not in the slightest prepared to be called beautiful by a Bijuu.

"Anyways, I really would like to know who has sent you here?" Mr. Uzumaki asked Jubal, who was brought by Chouchou´s father, Chouchou meanwhile leaned against her mother for support.

Looking around, I could see our parents, while mother was at Senpou´s side, treating her leg.

"Would you mind to tell us why you wanted to kill my Son and his Friends!" The Hokage asked, with a worse hidden wrath.

"This won´t be necessary, our goal has been reached, you came out, Hokage!" Jubal said afraid.

"Carefull boy, don´t even try to do something funny, or I will break you neck, like I snap a small branch!" Chouchou´s father threated, it was to take serious when an Akimichi says this.

"He said that I should give you this, if I meet you, and that we shall test your and your children´s ability!" Jubal explained, as he pointed at his bag.

"I think he means this, be careful, Hokage, we don´t know what´s inside!" Miss Akimichi said, as she gave Bolt´s father a scroll.

"This is it, this I got from him!" Jubal said.

"From whom?" The Hokage asked.

"We don´t know his name, all I can say is that he is extremely strong and that he has long red Hair, the rest of him was covered, but his eyes were ice-cold!" Jubal said.

"Alright, everyone back away, I will now open the scroll!" The Hokage said.

Naruto´s pov:

My nerves were stretched to the extreme, as I slowly opened the Scroll.

It was a tiny one, not even long enough for a whole Text.

But to be honest, beside of a few words, nothing stood on the scroll.

"I will come to get you, be prepared, it will soon start, the Bell has rung!" I read getting confused.

"Well that is not really instructive, it sounds like a treat to me!" I said narrowing my eyes at Jubal.

"Really, I thought that it was pretty much instructive!" I heard, a voice behind us saying.

"Huh?" We all turned around, to be greeted with an unique sight.

"Good afternoon, Hokage from Konohagakure, Konoha-ninjas , Konoha-kids!" The voice said, as the man behind it looked at us, still he seemed to entertain no desire to kill, he even bowed before us.

"Dammit, you guys are a really lame, didn´t I sent you ahead five days before, with the scroll and the message to give at the Hokage and I am still faster here than you, well as expected, one cannot count on Nukenins, it´s better to do things by myself!" The person, as described from Jubal, stood right here before us.

"You, thanks to you, my friends are killed!" Jubal screamed.

"Well this would have happened sooner or later, wherever through me or through others, anyways, you are of no use to me anymore, so you might as well die, at least you are a bit of money worth!" The man said, as he used a finger sign.

"Tamashī shīru no jutsu (Jutsu of the Soul-sealing)!" he said with an evil glance.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Jubal screamed, as suddenly his soul was sucked out, it looked gruesome, his eyes turned back in his head, his mouth stood wide agape, while the air around him vibrated.

"Burn for your Sins!" The man said.

Jubal´s soul, which was somehow to see, went into some strange kind of burning seal, drawn in the air by the man.

"So, one Nukenin less on this world!" He said, as he took a grave plate out of his backpack, while he was scanned by the eagle eyes of everybody, one false movement and everyone would attack him right away.

But he made no mistake, to be honest, he seemed to not even mind being scanned from head to toe, he simply kept on roaming in his back pack, all calmly and uncaring.

"It looks as if you often do this, are you perhaps a Body Hunter?" Dad asked, I looked at the man and scanned him off.

His red hair was short and messy, similar to mine as I was young, his recognizable ears were fully packed with earrings.

He wore black pants, a white pullover, under a grey jacket similar to Kiba´s as he was young

His eyes had a penetrating gaze, though they looked completely normal, not in the slightest suspicious, I also could not find any negative feelings about him.

All in all, he looked like a true tourist here on this place.

"Kind of, I chase Nukenins and kill them, as long as I have no own use for them!" The man said with a warm smile, as he showed us the sign of the Shugonin Juunishi, the 12 Elite Guardians of the Daimyou, which also Asuma once was member of.

"Hokage, be careful, they wanted once to destroy Konohagakure!" Everyone went in fighting stance around me and the kids.

"Hoho, no fear I have no intentions to attack you Naruto Uzumaki, Hokage of Konohagakure, at least not now or in near future, if I have no reason for that.

Our all live stands shortly before the destruction, so killing you or destroying Konoha would be rather contra-productive anyways.

I was one of 2 apprentices, who wanted to join, as the battle between the members unfolded itself, we kept ourselves out of the whole thing!" the man said.

"As the Daimyou asked me to stay in it, to be one of the two to help to raise the whole group anew, I hesitated, I originally had only joined to be near Chiriku, the monk, for I wanted to learn from him.

After I heard about the death of Asuma, Chiriku and the Fuurido, I left my duty for I had no purpose of being in the group anymore.

The man I wanted to learn from had died so I had no reason, to stay in, anymore.

I only know from a Boy called Shikamaru Nara, who was asked by the Daimyou to join, but even that boy refused, seriously, the Era of this group truly ended in the first generation.

You know the best, the battle of both parties, was at the day where actually our final exam was scheduled!" The Man said as he began to chuckle, before suffering at a laughing fit.

"Then first, tell me who you are?" I asked him, as he seemed to have calmed again.

"I am Shigure Uzumaki, crunchy 60 years old, I knew your mother Kushina, and just so you know she was my Sister, which makes me your Uncle!" The Man said.

"Prove it!" I said and he nodded.

"Woah, not a move!" The others said as Shigure wanted to use a finger sign.

"Guys how am I supposed to prove my membership to the Uzumaki Clan, if you stop me before I have done anything!" Shigure said, losing his patient.

"Go on!" I said, while I pushed Sasuke backwards, as he was ready to jump at the man.

"This is the mark of our Clan, the Uzumaki Hiden!" Shigure shouted, as suddenly Adamantine sealing chains, made of chakra, crashed out of the ground, searching like snakes for something to seal.

"This Chakra is different, but these are definitely the Chains of the Uzumaki clan, I was long enough being sealed under them, to blindly be able to feel them!" I heard Kurama saying.

"I see, and what are you doing here, better said, why did you sent these Nukenins to us?" I asked him suspicious.

"I catch Nukenins, but I also sometimes force them, with the Jutsu from earlier, to work for me, for example when I have an assassination job from the Daimyou.

If they aren't as dumb as these guys here, they are quite useful, this time I send them forth with the scroll, for I had to do something important first, but honestly, if I would have known that they are so lame, I wouldn´t even had needed to use them, but oh well.

Anyways, are you ready?" Shigure asked with a smile.

"Ready for what?" I asked Suspicious.

"Probably saving the world!" Shigure stated sweat-dropping.

"I have no idea what you are talking about!" I said.

"No, don´t tell me that Neherit hasn´t already appeared before you, really is everybody lame or what?" Shigure asked.

I sighed, this would get us to nowhere, at least not here, and the whole Exam has been aborted anyways, as soon as Inojin summoned Konohamaru Sensei, and explained the situation.

This situation wasn´t at all normal, since no camera showed, how those guys had planted the landmines around the tower during the exam, so they had to have planted them before the Chunin Exam began, even though the Field was under strict surveillance.

"Sigh, i´m tired for now and I don´t want to discuss this all now here, in the middle of a dangerous area, if you want to speak then come to my Office, for now I just want to bring my Son away from here!" I said to Shigure and he nodded.

"Of course, I understand, well I also would like to get to know the village and perhaps grab a bite at Ichiraku, my Sister was sent here as we were little, ever since I haven't seen her, I want to go to her grave, I want to once again become a piece of her family.

Too long we had been separated, and in the end she died without me knowing!" Shigure said, as he looked around, a look of true sorrow in his eyes.

"I bet my Daughter would love to see Konohagakure!" he said, as he looked at a certain spot.

"Daughter?" I asked him.

"My Daughter Sarin, she´s in your Son´s age!" Shigure said, as suddenly a roar was to hear, he looked behind him.

"Daddy, look what I have found, please can I keep him!" A voice of a young girl spoke, as the same went towards us on the back of a giant lion.

"Sarin, come and say hello to your cousin!" Shigure said and the girl jumped of the back of the lion and bowed, the lion was completely calm, as if he was afraid of the girl at his side.

"Good afternoon, I´m Sarin Uzumaki, nice to meet you!" She said and blushed before snuggling up to her father.

"Just look the way your dress is looking now, didn´t I said that you should be carefull Sarin!" Shigure scolded his daughter, which blushed furiously.

"Yeah but you know, I had to teach Camelot some manners, he tried to claw my back!" The girl said and I saw Shigure sighing in annoyance, I could feel with him.

"She´s a little storm-wind, not able to stand still, not even around other people, beside of enemies!" Shigure said smiling.

I understood him very well, I glanced at Bolt who stood next to me, the same scanned Sarin of, looking for a possible treat.

"Enemies?" I asked.

"She´s helping me to find the one who destroyed Uzushiogakure and extinct the Uzumaki Clan, almost completely!" Shigure said.

"Ever since her mother, my wife, Himari Uzumaki, died in the flames of slaughter, as they attacked our village, I care for my daughter and tried my best to give her a living.

However, since the sight she had to see, she only knew revenge anymore, she had to watch how her mother died in the flames, same as everyone else.

She and a few others were the only ones to survive, Weeks after the ashes had cooled off, we tried to build Uzushiogakure back up again, but we couldn´t do it, cause the two families that had survived this night, beside of us, went away having lost almost anything besides of their lives.

One went towards Amegakure, they thought that Konoha had betrayed them, as they didn´t helped us even weeks afterwards.

That Konohagakure stuck in an own crisis, the attack of the Kyuubi, and the destruction it brought with it, 35 years ago, we didn´t knew about.

I was out on duty for the Daimyou, with the other Ninjas of the 12 Elite Ninja-Guardians, as they attacked our home.

My Teammates and I came too late to save our village and even though we tried our best to save our peoples, many of them died, even those who tried to help perished in flames.

Ever since, I could not bring her off her revengeful intentions, due to the fact that I shared the same, she even began to secretly, behind my back, to train on how to be a Ninja, injuring herself often, so I decided to train her as a kunoichi.

This way she helps me often by my hunts!" Shigure said.

"But still, she is a little girl after all, I never knew about anyone else of our clan to have survived, besides of the two families, so long until I heard your name the first time, it was after Pain of Akatsuki attacked Konohagakure.

I heard you were the Hero that killed Pain, I was amazed, I went to Konoha to see you, I thought with you I might be able to reawaken the Clan.

But as I saw the destruction which the attack had caused, I was terrified, still I knew that now you had totally different problems.

So I went away again, I decided to keep on raising Sarin, I tried to give her a good living, but I have no idea in which way I could succeed in doing this, in making her strong enough for the dangers of the world.

I bet she would love to roam through your town, to see different things than dead corpses and blood for once, to feel like a real child!" Shigure stated, before sweat-dropping and sighing.

"I guess, I truly failed as a father, I cannot even bring myself of my wishes for revenge, how would I ever be able to stop Sarin!" He said.

"Well logically I too would like to see a bit of the town, my sister learned to love and in which she died, logically only, if you give us the permission, to freely roam through your village, believe me I have no intentions to attack, Nephew!" Shigure said.

"I first got to prove this side of the story; so long you and your daughter will be escorted on your roams, as well as watched by anything you do, Jonins will follow by every step you make in our village, so long until your Story has been throughout being proved, understood?" I said with a stern voice.

"Of Course, this is your good right to order me to do this, I mean after all I also could lie, but note that everything I said is the truth!" Shigure stated.

"By the way, you say you are the Brother of my Mother, older or younger?" I asked interested.

"I´m her younger Twin-brother by 2 minutes, we are, or better said, would have been in the same age by now!" He said.

"But then you would be 60 years old not, how come you look so young?" Bolt asked confused, getting a back-head slash from Sarada.

"Hohoho, well that´s easy to answer, it´s because we pure-blood Uzumakis have an excellent longevity, we always look half as young as we truly are.

My grandfather was close to 100 years old and still looked like he would be 50 years old, he was the old Leader, Ashina Uzumaki!" Shigure said smiling amused.

"I see, anyways, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Sasuke, would you mind escorting Mr Uzumaki to the town!" I said and they nodded.

"Everyone we go back, for today the Exam gets aborted, if they could enter here so easily, it is to assume that others might come in too, all Genins be kept for a thorough identity check, I will tell the other Kages what´s the matter!" I said.

"Roger sir!" They saluted, before they were about to go, I went over to my Son.

"What about…?" Sasuke started, as I went past him.

"If it´s okay for you, I will take your daughter to me for the time, I first have to check Shigure´s statement, about his affinity to us Uzumakis!" I said and he nodded.

"Alright, let´s go home!" I shouted and they all nodded before disappearing.

Before we went home, I was paying a quick visit in my Bibliotheca in the Hokages office.

Where I searched all things together we could find, honestly, I for myself never have been in Uzushiogakure, I never had the guts to go, why not; I didn´t even knew myself.

Still, I too had the dream, to one day being able to raise th Uzumaki Clan from anew, just the way Sasuke wants to raise the Uchiha Clan from anew.

I hope, that someday I will be able to see, how my ancestors had lived and that I might have the force, to relive their teachings and lessons, to master all the abilities my Clan had.

Bolt´s Pov:

I was afraid, not about the situation we were in, but more about the situation over all, that fiend Nukenins could get so easily in our village and cause so much havoc, we might live in a time of peace, but there still were always some minor conflicts with renegaded ninjas.

However they rarely attack the hidden Villages.

"This is bad, really bad!" I heard father mumbling, as we walked back home, reading in a book he got out of his bibliotheca, we, means Sarada and me, transported the other books he had taken with him.

"Father, about the Chunin exam, what´s going to happen now, I mean after all the 2nd test has been aborted, not?" I asked him worried.

"No fear Bolt, the Chunin exam will be paused for 2 or more days, as long as it will take, for Ibiki to interrogate all the other Genins, after this interrogation, the test will be repeated.

So all those teams who didn´t managed to get towards the tower´s entrance, before the test has been aborted, will be able to have another chance!" dad said.

"I see!" I said a little disappointed.

"Why so down Bolt, I mean, those who had made it there, before the abortion, are logically through with the test, means you guys, Team 7 and Team 10, too.

After all you and Senpou managed to enter the tower, even though you did this more or less unconscious.

If more than one member of the team managed to get over the tower´s entrance, its only logical that they accomplished their mission, you are one of 6 teams who managed to already end the 2nd test!" My father said and so was not really surprised, that we yelled of happiness and joy.

"Yes!" Sarada shouted in happiness, I smiled at her and she smiled back, with tears in her eyes.

"We did it!" I said smiling, before I suddenly was embraced, I blushed and crawled my neck, as Sarada looked at me with a cute blush.

"Yes we did it, thanks to you, we are still alive, Bolt!" She said and I smiled.

"Nothing to thanks, it´s only natural that I protect my friends, anyone who does not respect the rules is a scumbag, but anyone who does not respect his friends is an absolute scumbag!" I said wisely and she chuckled cutely, making me blushing.

"True words, my son!" Father said.

"Words of wisdom, I would say!" Sarada said.

"They came from my father, the 4th Hokage!" father said smiling.

"From Grandpa, cool!" I said, as I ran forward, as we were near the Uzumaki Villa.

"Last one home is a lame duck!" I shouted smirking.

"Oh wait you, I will not lose!" Sarada shouted, running after me, I could almost feel the self-pleased glance of Dad.

Suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks, causing Sarada to stumble, she ran right in my back, the tower of books began to sway dangerously.

"Bolt, what´s up, what´s the matter?" She asked rubbing her forehead with one hand.

"What is this?" I asked mumbling, as I heard a flute tone.

"What the matter Bolt?" Sarada asked confused and concerned.

"Soon we will be here no more

You'll hear our tale

Through our blood

Through my people

And the eagle's cry

The bear within will never lay to rest!" I suddenly heard a voice singing.

"Hey do you hear this?" I asked Sarada and father.

"Yes, but from where!" Father said.

"What, what are you talking about?" Sarada asked confused.

"Don´t you hear this?" I asked and she looked even more confused.

"No nothing!" She answered, this was confusing me now.

"Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Three Titans came

Saw the blessed land

We cared, you took

You fought, we lost

Not the war but an unfair fight

Sceneries painted gruesomely in blood

Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Once we were here

Where we have lived since the world began

And since time itself gave us this land!" The voice continued to sing, accompanied by the melody of a Cedar Double-flute.

I sounded like the voice of a young man, perhaps in my Age.

"Our souls may join again the round

Devoted we´ll searching, for our blessed land

And then eternally, we will live there again

Our home in peace 'n war 'n death

Wandering on an endless Road

Following the trail of times

Once we were here

Where we have lived since the world began

And since time itself gave us this land!" The Voice sang in a foreign language, but somehow I still was able to understand the meaning behind the song, deep within my soul.

While she did, we tried to sense from where it came, listening to it.

"Gyyyyaaaaahhh!" Suddenly we shrieked up from the scream of an eagle, who soared high up in the sky.

It was of no kind we ever saw before, here in our Region.

Watching it flying, we followed its dive, which landed right before us on an electricity pylon.

There it sat for a while, watching us closely.

"Is there something to see, what are you guys looking at, shouldn´t we hurrying up and get these books home?" Sarada asked still confused.

"She cannot see it I guess, is this a Genjutsu?" I thought to myself.

"Are you the Uzumakis from the Village hidden under the leaf?" The voice from earlier, who had sung, asked.

"I cannot sense anyone being near here, I don´t think this is a Genjutsu, but what is it then?" I thought, trying to find a clue.

"Who are you, where are you?" Dad asked in the direction of this strange Eagle, maybe he had found out something, I decided to survey the Eagle as well.

"What are you two talking about, there is no one beside of us, are you guys getting schizophrenic?" Sarada asked, with annoyed tone in her voice.

"Are you Uzumakis?" The Voice asked again.

"Yes we are, so what, c´mon show yourself?" We asked.

Suddenly the eagle flew up in the sky and came down right before us where it transformed into a human, however this human was quite strange.

He looked more like a ghost actually, being surrounded by a strange aura, he looked like someone who stands in a shadow.

"Who are you?" We shouted, going in fighting stance.

"Guys this is your last chance before I go my way, leaving you and your dumb games all alone, tell me, what´s up?" Sarada screamed enraged at us, with a raised fist.

I took her free hand, to which she blushed furiously and gave her a bit of my Chakra.

"Bolt what the, eeh, where does this guy come from?" She asked.

"He has been there the whole time, did you really didn´t saw nor sensed him?!" I asked her.

"No, not at all, I swear a second ago that guys wasn´t there!" Sarada said dumbfounded and afraid, normally she could clearly feel the chakra of other people in close surrounding.

It was something terrible, for sure, if not even Sarada could sense him.

"As I thought only Uzumakis can sense his presence, hear his voice and see him, however if we give our Chakra to others, they can see and hear him as well!" Dad said.

"So who are you and what do you want from my family and me?" He asked the strange man.

"you can call me Neherit Mezakan, and I come from beyond the great ocean, out of a land far away from here, it is called Gensan no Kuni (Land of Origin), in your Language)!" The Boy said.

"Never heard of it!" I said.

"We don´t interact with the people from other islands, Lands and continents, before the time has come to do so.

Our continent is surrounded by a giant barrier, which automatically leads ships far around it, also is it not to find on any Map outside from Gensan no Kuni!" The boy called Neherit, said.

"I´m sorry, but I have to prove your power, I have to see if you are worthy for becoming the new leader!" Neherit said, as he went in a fighting position, none I ever had seen before.

"Everyone, get in position!" Dad shouted, the Books long laid stored, inside of a scroll.

"Kage henkan no Jutsu, Hogo-sha Ryū (Jutsu of the Shadow transformation, Guardian-dragon), I call for you!" We heard Neherit saying.

Out of the shadow, casted in a side alley between two Skyscrapers, something moved and walked out.

"What the hell is that?" I asked, as this giant thing stood before us, it was as big as Gamabunta.

"It seems like the people around us can see this, but what is it!" Sarada asked, as we recognized that the people around us ran away screaming.

"Nothing good!" Dad said, as he bit in his finger.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu, Gamabunta I need you!" Dad shouted and out of the ritual marks on the ground, the giant toad emerged.

"Hey Naruto, how are things, I was just talking about you, how may I help you?" Gamabunta asked.

"Gamabunta I need your help, you have to try to stop this thing, we meanwhile will try to defeat it´s master, do you think you can do it!" Dad said.

"I don´t know, I clearly can say that this being is made out of a shadow, it´s not like I would fight against something physically, it´s as if you try to fight against air!" Gamabunta said.

"I will try my best, but I cannot guarantee that I can stop it for long, or even at all!" He said and Dad nodded.

"Understood, in that case we just have to defeat it´s master, before it can harm the town!" Dad said.

"Dad can we help you somehow?" I asked.

"I don´t know but it would be best to try it!" Dad said and I nodded.

"Let´s start then, Tamashiton, Yūrei paredō no Jutsu (Soul-style, Jutsu of the Ghost parade)!" The Boy said, as suddenly strange beings appeared out of nowhere.

"Chidori!" Sarada shouted, as she attacked one of them only to run right through it.

"What the…, dammit!" She said, as she was almost being attacked by one of them.

"Watch out!" I shouted, as I jumped between the attack and her, shielding Sarada from the beat of this Oni-like being.

"Thanks you saved me, but how, I mean I wasn´t even able to touch it?" Sarada asked.

"No idea, but I hoped that it would work!" I said weakly, the beat was really hard.

"Naruto, I'm sorry but it´s impossible for me to grab this thing, let to even hit it with my Jutsus, I am here completely useless!" Gamabunta said towards dad, as he jumped for the fifth time right through the Shadow-being.

"I see, yeah I guess you can go back home than, thanks anyways, Bunta, I really appreaciate your help!" Dad said and Gamabunta nodded.

"See ya!" He said and vanished in a cloud of dust.

"Hmm, seems like we are standing before a real riddle, but to every riddle there is a solution, I won't give up, I will defend my Family, my friends and my Village, after all I am the Nanadaime, the Hokage of the 7th Generation, Dattebayo!" Dad said.

"That's right, we are Uzumakis and we never give up Dattebasa!" I shouted out loud, being healed by Sarada´s medical Ninjutsu.

"Well then, show me the Power of the Uzumaki Clan of Hi no Kuni!" Neherit shouted, as his Ghosts attacked.

"Chō Oodama Rasengan!" I shouted, as I attacked four at once.

"Baaaam!" With a loud noise, the Ghosts were blown in all directions.

"Chidori!" Sarada shouted, attacking another one.

"Huh, no way, why again!" She shouted, as she slipped right through the ghost yet again.

"Why does it not work when I attack?" She asked, as she jumped backwards towards me.

"No idea, Fuuton, Rasen Shuriken!" I shouted, aiming at another group of ghosts, blasting them away.

"Katon, Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire-style, Jutsu of the great Fireball)!" Sarada shouted, attacking with another chakra element.

"Dammit it has no use!" She shouted in horror, as the ghost kept on running at her, as if the fire does not affect them.

"Goddammit!" She shouted, as she backed away in fear.

Why isn´t it working when Sarada attacks,….., wait, could it be,…., perhaps, I got to prove it.

"Sarada, use your Katon Jutsu one more time!" I shouted.

"But it has no use!" She whined.

"Just do it, trust me, I´m a professional!" I joked, she looked at me confused, but then nodded.

"Okay I will trust you, Katon, Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" She shouted using her attack again.

But just like earlier, the ghost simply ignored her Jutsu.

"See it does not work!" Sarada whined.

"Keep it up!" I said, as I used my own force.

"Fuuton, Cho Oodama Rasen Shuriken!" I shouted and threw my Jutsu right I Sarada's Fireball, this activated a Chain-reaction.

The Fuuton was strengthen the Katon and created a new combination jutsu.

"Oh wow it works!" Sarada shouted, as I landed next to her.

"But why, why does it works only with your Rasen Shuriken?" She asked sweat-dropping.

"It has nothing to do with your skills Sarada, not at all, I think it´s of the same reason, why only an Uzumaki can see that boy.

It must hang together with the Special Chakra of us Uzumakis, perhaps only Jutsus, crafted with this Chakra, can affect him, who knows?" I said.

"That may be true, my attacks, no matter which element I used, had no effect at all, but yours always hit them right in the black spot!" Sarada explained.

"Anyways, how about we name this new technique?" I said and she nodded.

"How about, Shakuton, Chō Kasai ken tatsumaki no Jutsu (Heat-style, Jutsu of the Great Fire-sword tornado)!" I offered.

"Hmmm, yes I think this is a nice name!" She said smiling.

"Seems like dad is finished too!" I said as I looked over to him, where he just had defeated the Shadow creature, by using flashbangs, creating such a bright light, that the shadow simply vanished.

"Impressive, impressive indeed my dear friends, I didn´t though you would get so quick behind my strategy, less that you would be able to defeat a shadow!" Neherit said.

"I must say, this fighting style was really outstanding, and smart too, indeed, one can only defeat my Jutsus with the same Chakra base!" He continued.

"Chakra base, what do you mean by that?" Sarada asked, annoyed I would say.

"In a family, it is very common that the children have practically the same chakra base, means the same chakra temperature and aura, like their parents, there are some people out there, who are able to feel Chakra and be able to differ it from person to person.

It´s said that the Chakra from Parent and Child react to each other, even can enforce each other.

The Uzumaki Clan has, usually, a warm and sunny Chakra base, the Leader-Bloodline even has a fiery aura!" Neherit explained.

"I see and how do you know this?" Sarada asked with narrowed eyes.

"The Mezakan Clan, the Clan I was born from and the Uzumaki Clan are blood related, for the Uzumaki Clan resulted out of the Senju Clan connected with the Mezakan Clan, early in their history, decades after the fall of the Juubi.

Naruto Uzumaki, you are a direct descendant of Ashina Uzumaki, the former and last Leader of Uzushiogakure and the Uzumaki Clan, it is your destiny to become the Leader of the Uzumaki clan.

However there is one difficulty, there are still some other candidates, who would be able to become the leader as well, they´re older, wiser and perhaps also more acknowledged in the traditions of the Uzumaki Clan.

Due to Ashina having never been able to announce a proper and worthy successor, you will have to fight for the throne of the leader.

But anything to the right time, for now I still have to do a final test!" Neherit said, before suddenly some massive black balls appeared out of thin air.

"Be careful we don´t know what will happen now, but I have a bad feeling!" Dad said to us.

"Naruto/father!" We heard it coming from behind.

"Hinata, Himawari, don´t come here!" Dad shouted, trying to warn them, the two of them stopped dead in their tracks.

"Hmm, this chakra, can it be?" Neherit said and we all jumped back, at where mom and my sister Himawari were standing.

"Hmm, it seems to me, as if she is more of her mother's Clan, still Uzumaki Blood is flowing in her veins!" The Ghost-like man said, as he scanned Himawari who looked afraid towards him.

"You won´t hurt my children!" Dad shouted and used his Bijuu chakra to form a massive Rasengan.

"Naruto, what´s wrong!" Hinata shouted, not able to see Neherit.

"Hinata, stay back, there is a being, a person, only those with Uzumaki blood or Chakra can see and fight him!" Dad shouted.

"Please defend Himawari!" Dad shouted.

"Understood!" Mom said.

"Uzumaki family, the day is soon there, too long have I searched for you, months long I followed rumours and traces as well as the tiniest bit of bread-crumbs I could find, in order to get you guys in my hands before the others do, even though each second is precious, for we are running out of time, you have to come with me!" Neherit stated, as he raised his hand.

He attacked extremely quick, shooting a Black sphere at us.

"Haaa!" Dad shouted and threw his own Rasengan in the ball.

The explosion was massive, however it seemed as if it didn´t effected our surrounding.

"What is going on!" I heard Dad shouting, I looked around.

Only to see, that we were surrounded by a Strange kind of Barrier, the People around us seemed not to notice, and, as if naturally, walked around it.

"What is going on here, where did your attack went?" Mom asked, as Dad jumped right in front of her and Himawari, wanting to protect them.

"Only Uzumakis can see and attack him, or those who have our chakra, also it seems that we are stuck in a barrier so that none of our attacks, affects our surrounding!" Dad said to mom as he grabbed her hand and gave her his chakra making her able to see.

"Indeed, Naruto Uzumaki, as I said this is only a test, it´s not in my intention to harm your village at all!" Neherit said.

"And what will happen if we beat you out of this Barrier!" Sarada and I shouted, as we attacked him with Shuriken.

"Physical attacks weapons and Taijutsu have no effect, and Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, unless they are crafted by Uzumaki Chakra, are equally useless against me!" Neherit said.

"haaa you think?" I shouted.

"Yes I do!" Neherit calmly said,

"Well, we will see!" I said, from behind him.

"Huh, but how?" Neherit asked baffled, at what he saw, his cold and analytic face changed.

The Shuriken we had thrown were in reality none other but Sarada´s and my real self, as soon as we transformed back, we used our Combination attack again, hitting him right in the back and shooting him out of the Barrier which shattered to air.

"Ha how does it taste, to be beaten, once again with our combo?" I laughed.

"I underestimated you, a fatal fault of myself I admit, but this won´t happen a second time, Tamashiton, Seizen-sō no jutsu (Soul-style, Jutsu of the living funeral)!" Neherit stated calmly as before, I had the assumption that he had not many interest in this battle.

"Hokage, this Shigure vanished!" Suddenly Sarada´s parents and the other Jonins that had been responsible for Shigure and Sarin´s escort, appeared right out of the side alley, which stood between Neherit and us.

"Stay back!" We shouted but it was too late.

Three new Balls came flying at them.

"Dammit, Rasengan!" Dad shouted as he wanted to shield them.

"Himawari, Mother!" I shouted, as I jumped, wanting to shield them.

"No Bolt!" I heard Sarada and Himawari, as well as my Mother shouting.

Before we knew, I was enveloped in one of the black sphere, the other one caught Himawari and pushed Mom away.

Even Sarada, which had charged after me and caught my outstretched arm, with which I actually wanted to shove her back, had been caught with me.

"Woooop!" With a strange sound, we seemed to dive into another dimension, from inside this Sphere, our surrounding were visible.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" We shouted, as we seemed to fall endlessly, towards the deepest point of this surrounding darkness, which suddenly appeared.

Suddenly we stopped and as we asked ourselves what just happened, we fell on a cold, stone like surface.

"Ow not again, why is it always me?" I asked as I felt someone falling with his or her ass on my back-head and another one was falling right in my back, pushing me hurtfully in the ground

"What is this here?" I asked, looking around as I was able to move again, the weight had vanished.

I looked to see Sarada and Himawari, who looked around fearfully but also bushing, now I knew who had been landed on me.

The spot we had landed was illuminated by light which seemed to come from nowhere in particular.

"No idea, but I don´t think this is a Genjutsu, or else it would have no effect on Sarada!" Dad said, as he went into Sennin-Modoo.

"Be careful, we don´t know what will happen here, less what might lurk in the darkness!" he said, as we went in fighting stance.

"Hey Guys, I see, so you arrived here as well!" We heard a voice behind us.

We turned around to see Shigeru, his Daughter Sarin and the last Person we ever thought to see here.

"Karin, what the hell are you doing here?" Dad asked the woman with red hair, similar to Shigure and Sarin and with a pissed look on her face.

"Well I could ask you too, I was lying, calmly in solitude on a meadow, in the forest somewhere, a bit away from our camp, minding my very own business, as suddenly someone attacked me.

We fought and suddenly I was hit by some strange sphere, then I arrived here, all alone, after a while, these guys arrived and now you, your kids and this Kid, arrived here, by the way where exactly is here anyways?" Karin-san asked, narrowing her eyes, especially as she looked at Sarada, what was that woman´s problem.

Sarada meanwhile was in a state of utter shock at the sight of Karin-san.

"I see so you had too such an encounter Karin-san, and you Naruto-Kun?" Shigure asked.

"Yeah kind of, we arrived here on practically the same way as you did I guess!" Dad said.

"But why, what is the purpose behind this?" Sarin asked equally confused as all of us.

"I bet he will soon explain it to us!" Dad said, as he looked around.

"Neherit, where are you; come out you coward?" he shouted.

"I´m here no need to scream, I see you all have already made the acquaintance of each other, anyways…

Welcome, welcome to the Grey dimension!" We heard the loud voice of Neherit, echoing through this empty space.

"Where are you Neherit?" We shouted.

"I am here, Nanadaime Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki!" Neherit´s voice came from behind us, clearer as before.

"Where are we and why did you brought us here, c´mon speak up!" I shouted going in fighting stance.

"Weapons won´t help you, especially not here!" Neherit stated as calmly as before, minding the pointed kunai not a bit.

"For the last time, where are we?" Dad asked, losing his patient.

"You are in the Grey dimension, a Gateway to the afterlife, so to say, the waiting-room for the Beyond!" Neherit said as simply before.

"Huh, what?" Most of us asked for this was too high for us, I mean how this would even be possible.

"The Grey dimension is a world between life and death, a world in which can only being entered by very few people alive, this here is so to say right in front of the gates to death.

the laws of time and space are completly rewritten here.

It is a world, which only the Uzumaki Clan, who has been created out of alive members of my clan allying with the Senju Clan, can enter, also, only you can see us, who we are stuck within it.

Me and my Folk are bound to the earth, as living ghost, unable to move further in existence, we cannot die on a normal way and aren´t allowed to be reborn either!" Neherit said cryptically

"Uhmm but how come, I am no Uzumaki, I am an Uchiha!" Sarada said and we nodded.

"It is very unusual that a Person other than the Uzumaki Clan´s member, can enter this realm alive.

Normally one must have the Chakra or at least the blood of the Uzumaki Clan.

However it might be that you have a little amount of blood, of an Uzumaki Clan member in your veins, this would explain, why you were able to enter as well!" Neherit said, and I understood.

She got my Chakra, as she grabbed my arm, I unintentionally gave her my chakra as I actually wanted to shove her out of the line of fire.

And then there was still that day, as she had been almost killed of blood loss in that one mission together, a year ago, I was giving her my blood over transfusion, since we had the same Blood group.

"Anyways, why are we here!?" Dad asked.

"To listen to my story and then to decide, wherever you want to help us or not!" Neherit said.

"And why did you attacked us then, isn´t that rather contra-productive, when you will ask us for helping you?" Karin-san asked annoyed.

"You 6 are the last Uzumakis who are really alive anymore, its only logical that I have to first be sure of your power before taking the effort to ask you.

I was sent out to find you and I travelled for 4 months straight, the entire Lands around, but I couldn´t find you before now or anyone else who might has survived from that time, I guess you could say you are the sole survivors of the massacre, some more than others!" Neherit stated as e looked at Sarin with a strange glance.

"But we need your help, for it also decides over the fate of the world, you and we are living in!" Neherit began to tell.

"Who is we?" Shigure asked.

"We is my Clan, the crows of twilight, the Mezakan Clan, my folk is but only one of the various other tribes of my race.

My Clan is an ancient and a cursed Clan, cursed by mother nature, for a scorn which our ancestors had made during the past eras.

We are bound to live our lives as I do, partly here in the Grey dimension and partly on earth as ghost, unseen we are roaming under the Humans, some of us used animals as new bodies, others created their bodies artificially, by letting possessed humans using our forces to create them.

We Mezakan however had another method, the Soul sharing, sharing our soul with a living being we can interact in the physical realm, willingly or unwillingly.

As I made myself been only seen by those with Uzumaki Blood or Chakra, but I also can make myself physical for others, if I want.

But currently I am at growing an own artificial body thanks to the DNA of a living being, which I took a liking in, so to say a Clone, which I can possess without regret.

But for the moment I live from possessing humans from time to time…, anyways i´m coming of topic here!" Neherit said in a monotone voice.

"As of why I brought you here, well my folk needs your help as I already said.

Once my Clan was consisting out of numerous members, as numerous as the other Clans, but that´s long ago, ever since the first until the last Time Shift, our number has decimated in a terribly and scary way.

We can only craft a new seal for one more time, before my Clan is near extinction!" Neherit explained, but we only looked confused.

"What seal, what are you talking about?" We asked.

"…, Oh right I forgot you young people probably won´t know anything from us anymore, and due to Ashina dying in that Catastrophe, he probably had no time to tell anyone who was there back then, I wondered if Mito might have taught it to her granddaughter Kushina but I guess not!" Neherit mumbled as he thought about something.

"Shigure has your mother ever told you about it?" He asked Shigure, who only shook his head.

"Only legends and folklore, nothing proved or real, I guess Lord Ashina only said it to the elders and probably the next Leader, but as you know he died before being able to choose a successor.

It has been a gruesome night back then!" Shigure-san stated and shuddered before the very memories he, so I assume, had of this night.

"I see, and you Karin, had your mother ever told you about it?" Neherit asked Karin-san.

"…. No we had better things to do, perhaps surviving, since we lost everything in this night, even my father.

I had been only a year old but the fire the deaths and the screams branded itself in my very soul, even if I cannot clearly remember it, I have still nightmares about it!" Karin-san stated shuddering as well.

"I see, well I can relate to that feeling…..

Anyways, I think the easiest way, to tell you, is to show you what I mean!" he said and suddenly visions came in our minds, accompanied with massive headaches and an immeasurable pain.

Countless of feelings from wrath to mere suffering and endless despair, washed in a few seconds over me.

"Aaaah!" I shouted in pain, as I saw these gruesome pictures before me, they seemed to be all around, but it weren't Illusions, no it were memories.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Sarada and Himawari shouted and I grabbed their hands, to somehow ease their pain, I looked at Neherit, who only looked at us out of cold and hard eyes.

"What are these things, what was this feelings and what were these pictures we just saw?" Dad asked after the Headaches stopped, the pictures still flew like over canvases around us, but they became slower until they faded all away.

"These were the memories my Grandmother once gave me, she fought and survived all of the Millennium wars, saw terror, despair, hatred and all other kinds of feelings, these 7 wars were called Millennium Wars because they all lasted around a Millennium to be won, and they always had a 2.000 years of peace between each of this war.

Also no matter what they fought during the war, it always came down with the same last three end-villains to defeat and seal away, and it cost countless of lives to do this, our as well as Humans and all living beings.

Our Planet had been broken and destroyed multiple of times always being near its death, we always used a massive Lost Jutsu to turn back the time for 1000 years exactly, overwriting the past, when the Demons break out, with the Present, where they were already Sealed again.

7 times this has happened and no matter how we fought, we never were able to finally kill them!" Neherit explained.

"But who is them, these three end-villains you spoke off, who is bringing up this war!" Shigure asked in confusion.

"The three Titans, Luziferius, Geaya and Chronos, originally they were created by our Ancestors to rebalance the forces of the planet and nature, which the humans of the past had destroyed through their greed, hatred, wrath and their massive territorial wars.

But these three essences soon saw only bad things anymore, having consumed too much miasma, created out of negative feelings, they hid, and bided their time, accumulated their forces to grow, stronger, taller.

As they appeared before us all, they long had evolved beyond our ancestor´s control.

They decided that the planet had to be completely renewed and to create something new, the old had to be destroyed, so their logic.

Of course this never had been in the intention of our ancestors, and so the generation after them called to arms in order to stop the Titans.

But we ever just managed to only kill one by now, Luziferius…, however he is not exactly dead, at least so I think, I am sure he is able to be reawaken again if he has enough power and as much as I see it, are his brothers at collecting this power, whenever they wake up.

But the weapons we once used to defeat Luziferius, are long gone and to handle them is costing us an immeasurable price, our soul-energy, the more we lose the closer we are to being erased.

The only thing we still have are the Chitosegan, the mightiest, and also the origin, of all the other demonical eye-powers, or how you call them, Dōjutsus, which we once stole from Luziferius.

However is from that eye-power only one pair existent, one eye is in my possession, the other one is missing since many centuries, once stolen and never found back.

The eyes which resulted out of mixing them with different bloodlines, created different eyes and their powers had, with every generation, decreased.

For example he Rinne-sharingan, it was originally the second strongest Eye-power, but ever since Kaguya Otsutsuki, a sage of the light-rabbits, an ex-race of the Council of Elements, mixed the eyes with the bloodline of a normal Human!" Neherit explained.

"Wait Kaguya Otsutsuki and a Human…, the Kaguya!" Dad asked doubtingly.

"Yeah, it´s hard to believe for those who don´t know, but it is the truth, Kaguya once fell in love with the prince of a faraway land, marrying him would consist in a large Army, which Kaguya needed in order to defeat her brother, Momoshiki.

It is a tragic and melodramatic story.

But here is the short version:

The prince was the brother of the King and the banished arch-prince from a faraway Land, which used the force of a mythical ore to bring forth wonders, in his past.

However the arch-prince sold the ore, without the knowledge of his Brother, to different nations, to let them wage war against each other.

However in their hands the powers of the ore went out of control, resulting in the lands downfall and him claiming these lands, after later conquering it.

After getting to know all this, his Brother, who had always ruled peaceful and in co-existence with their neighbouring lands, was now, thanks to this scorn of the peace treaty, near a war with their neighbours.

So full of wrath, he banished his own brother, and his conquered folk and loyal followers, far away from his land.

So the arch-prince travelled, in order to build up an army to defeat his brother and bring the land under his Control, and someday came across Kaguya´s land, after learning of her great powers from lore and rumours.

The arch-prince became interested in them and plotted to somehow steal them, with the force he bore.

He faked his love to the princess and naïve and needing of an army, as she was, she believed him, soon they became married and she awaited twins from him.

But whenever he kissed her, he sucked a minimal amount of her force out of her, just so much that she didn´t noticed it.

However the more force he took, the more this force corrupted him, for a normal human was not able to handle it.

In the end the Demonical force of the Shinju pested his heart and then one night he attacked his wife, and wanted to kill her for her powers, with a knife.

Logically Kaguya killed him, however only his body died, his soul remained and was bound on earth, to atone for his sin, she cursed him to seek for the souls of the dying, as a death reaper, a Shinigami, which had to hear on her call.

This trust-break caused her to close her heart and kill or punish everyone who came to steal her forces!" Neherit stated and Shigure-san suddenly seemed to have an idea.

"But of course, the Shinigami from the Dead demon consuming seal!" Shigure-san explained.

"Exactly him, the former Clan of the Rabbits of Light, ruled over the realm of Paradise and had the mission and the ability, to lead good souls to the afterlife…

At least, until the day as they went to war with the Jackals of Darkness, who ruled over the realm of Inferno, and once had the mission to lead the evil souls to the hell.

Countless conflicts before cause a massive rift between them and in the end it escalate to this war of light and darkness, which also affected the human world.

During this time both clans almost extinct each other and were forced to use humans for their war, they paired and repopulated with these humans and so created the folk of Rabbit-sages and half-human.

The war lasted for a very long time, so long until the war was finally ended by the Council of Elements, as it also affected their realms and both clans were banished into their own realms, only the Wild-sage, the leader, of the respective Clan was able to open a gate and walk through it.

However Kaguya was not only princess of her land but also the daughter of the Wild-sage and one of these half-humans and so she inherited his power of dimension-traveling.

Momoshiki hadn´t this force but most likely stole them after killing his father for Power and the rule over their realm!" Neherit explained and sighed.

"Anyways i´m coming off topic again, so, Kaguya was giving birth to Hamura and Hagoromo, so it was only natural that both inherited their mothers Chakra-called force.

A Maid of their mother, saved the both kids from being killed, as Kaguya found out that they inherited her chakra and so had weakened her, in her paranoia she remembered her husband, whose children it were after all, furious she searched for them, but the maid managed to somehow keep them hidden, perhaps by fleeing out of the land or the continent.

But Chakra was not the only thing the kids inherited.

Hagoromo inherited the Rinnegan and Hamura, his mother´s second Eye-power, the Byakugan.

There already the Rinne-sharingan was weakened to the Rinnegan, although the forces of the Sharingan were still within it but not as strong as before.

Hagoromo then had Kids himself, once again with a human woman, weakening the blood even more, which made his oldest son, Indra, only inheriting the Sharingan.

Hamura however, married the daughter of the maid, with which he and his brother grew up together, who saved him and his brother from their mother's wrath.

The maid as well as her daughter were from the light-rabbit Clan and so not entirely human.

Which made Hamura's kids inheriting the Byakugan over generations and populated in their own clan, so the blood was spread without weakening it.

A custom hold in the Hyuuga clan for decades as well, until 16 years ago at least, as Boruto Uzumaki was born, as a half Hyuuga!" Neherit stated and looked at me.

"Anyways back to the three Titans, as I said before, they attacked this world in order to destroy and renew it, long before the Shinobi and the Chakra had been existing.

My folk, usually a peaceful and wise folk, blessed with the knowledge of using the Elements of nature, decided to fight against them, erasing the scorn our Ancestors had made, as they attacked our Planet and the Rest of Humanity!" Neherit said.

"Thousands of years my folk lived in peace and knew on how to solve conflicts without fighting, they wanted to teach mankind but they usually just hunted us down as aliens, magicians or whatsoever, at least in ancient times.

They listened not a bit at our warning and in the end they were the main reason, of why the Titans ran amok.

But the war against them went on, we as the only once blessed with these powers, were forced to go against our nature, our traditions and believes, we were born in order to found the nature, balance the elements and the flow of natural force, but now we used it to fight a being we had created by ourselves.

Logically was Mother Nature furious about this and cursed us, our souls as I said are bound on this world, unable to be reborn when our bodies die and rot away.

We are bound to vanish someday, when our soul-force is gone.

During the war we thought that if we would getting defeated, the planet was not to be saved and it mostly did look like this.

We fought as best as we could, our numbers decreasing permanently.

The pain you felt earlier, was the pain and the sorrow my folk was feeling to that time, the pain which my Grandmother had to feel and witness, only thousand times reduced.

As she once gave them all to me, I was lying in coma for 3 months, it was to learn and feel, to understand and to know what was to await, it is essential for a Sage of spirits to take upon the pain and wrath of the lost souls, so that they could be reborn in peace!" Neherit explained.

I gasped similar to all the others, the pain was really intensive, but to think that this was only a minor part of the real pain he had to feel almost made me vomit.

"My ancestors were shortly before giving up and retreating, the situation seemed to be futile.

So long until our Leader made a final decision, a decision which should help us in this war, he used the own power of the demonic Gods against them.

He was sucking the energy out of the slain pieces of them and sharing the force under his folk, enabled our born forces to shift into overdrive, this way we had more chance to fight them.

Still our abilities were never ever before being used to kill and destroy, but only to defend and create, still with this new forces, we managed to set two of them under massive Chains!" he continued to tell, the story had took us in its spell, ever since it started.

"The third one, Luziferius, the strongest of them, however was able to constantly destroy these sealing-chains, so our Leader made an momentous decision.

He attacked the Luziferius and managed to rip a pair of eyes out of its head, it had numerous of them, hundreds, perhaps thousands, and they all formed two giant eyes, similar to the eyes of a fly.

The Leader then managed to convert the powers of these eyes on his own, creating the Chitosegan, the Millennium-eyes, and the first and as I said before the origin of six of the most powerful Dōjutsus in this world.

This way he was able to see what the Demon saw, existences, the pure life-force, the soul and the entire lifetime, past and future, that runs through every living being.

He was able to see through every hiding we decided to take, as if his eyes were everywhere, even looking in our minds.

The eyes allowed him also to see, what the other eyes of the demon saw in their radius and so he also could dodge every attack, as well as block or completely throw the attack back at the caster with tenfold intensity, just as if one copies the attack!" Neherit said and somehow it reminded me, on what dad told me about the Rinnegan of the Rikoudou Sennin and Sasuke Uchiha, Mom´s Byakugan, and Sarada´s Sharingan.

It showed features of all three great Dōjutsus.

"However Luziferius also seemed to see thousands of miles away as he casually shot attacks far away, my Grandmother said that they all thought, that he might missed to aim right.., only later they found out that he had attacked the armies of the humans from other lands which were on their way to the battlefield.

These eyes, and the stolen forces enabled our folk to get a whole new advantage in this battle, the leader wanted his strongest men to be able to get the same advantage and so he managed to rip a few eyes more out of the three demons heads.

However only the 5 strongest of his men were able to convert and use these forces, however each one of this 5 men, maybe due to coming out of different bloodlines, awoke different forces in their eyes.

At the same moment they converted the force, the Akuma no Roku me (six eyes of the demon) had been born:

The Chitosegan (Millennium Eye); it enables a person to use the combined ability of communicating and interacting with ghosts and souls, able to summon them out of the realm of the beyond, or even to bring them back to live in their own body.

Furthermore it allows the bearer to enter or see into other dimensions normally impossible to reach, it also has to a certain degree similar abilities like the other Dōjutsus, and it is the strongest one for being the original one.

For the time being I am bearing one eye of this pair.

The Rinne-sharingan (Eye of the moon); it enables to see and manipulates the nature of forces/energy of all kind, for example it enables Life-forces and the soul to enter or leave a being at will, it is also able, to a certain degree, to create dimensions ruled by the caster; it is the 2nd strongest of the Dōjutsus and once was wielded by Kaguya.

The Nikkōgan (The Sun-eye); it enables to see and manipulate the time of everything, also it is able to see atomic particles and manipulates them into energy, ready to use for the bearer to cast Jutsus or enforce them; it is the 3rd strongest of the Dōjutsus and was only able to be awakened by the leader of the Uzumaki Clan, it once belonged to my uncle, the founder of the Uzumaki Clan.

The Tsukarigan (The Moonlight-eye / Tsukiakari= Moonlight); it enables a person to block any kind of physical attack, be it Kenjutsu or Taijutsu, even Ninjutsu, beside of such as Soul-style jutsus.

Also I is able to return the attack back to the caster or complete negotiate its ability, it also can turn chakra nature disadvantages into advantages, when combining them together.

It can emerge out of almost every Dōjutsus, since it had no real physical appearance, it only uses an eye-power and lightly alter its design a little.

The only requirement is to completely end a blood-feud, which one would normally suffer under itself; it is the 4th strongest Dōjutsu.

The Kesshōgan (The Crystal eye); it enables to manipulate the life-force of others or of the bearer itself, also it enable to see the world miles away, clearly and better than every Byakugan.

It grants the bearer analytic abilities, able to even predict the motivation of persons, furthermore can cause Genjutsu and it can, to a certain degree, negotiate or counter the abilities of other Dōjutsus, it is therefore the 5rd strongest and most one of the rarest to get.

The Byakugan (The All-seeing White eye); It enables to see through all solid things and smokescreens in a radius of 360°, also it increases the range of the visible area to a maximum of 10 miles.

Another advantage is the ability to use high-speed reflexes, it also has the ability to show forces in living beings, wherever life-forces or chakra; it is the 6th strongest Dōjutsu.

These were the six eyes created out of this act, all the others who tried to convert the forces on their eyes, went blind, or mutated and were corrupted, due to the evil power within the eyes.

Man of those who tried got useless on the Battlefield or became enemies!" Neherit explained and we were buff.

"So these eyes did not come with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but long before her, when I shall be honest, I think I know this Kesshōgan.

It sounds like Ranmaru´s Dōjutsu, if this is the case, I better get him here towards Konoha, before anyone will try to abuse his ability someday, against us or any of the allied forces!" I heard Dad mumbling, I wonder who this Ranmaru shall be…, perhaps a friend of him.

"The war lasted many centuries, our clan was blessed by the nature with longevity, so a decade for the rest of the world, felt like a year to us.

But eventually we, as well as our opponent went tired of fighting, they began to attack the world with everything what they got, but in the end we managed to weaken them, they hid and reassembled their forces same as we did.

However after the war, the dark forces which had been spread into the atmosphere on the planet, caused the Humans to become hateful, greedy and warmongering, even more than they usually were.

Simple conflicts easily turned to wars and anarchy, which sometimes even bordered out into massive world wars and slaughters, all the souls which were lost were accumulated by the three Titans, before they rose once again to the battle.

Our leader, now an old man, then decided to end the war once and for all, as the titans came back, so he made the momentous decision, throwing our every believe and former creed down the drain…

Instead of trying to seal the Titans, they attacked them and pierced our all Chains and weapons we had created out of the stolen energy, at them, but in the end the only one who fell was Luziferius, after numerous of my race gave their lives for it.

Through this act, Luziferius fell in a death-like sleep, as I said I don´t really believe he´s entirely dead, but before he fell he broke the seals of his siblings with a last blast of his power, jamming the cast of the seals.

The Two attacked, full of wrath and hatred and created, out of the humans died in the previous wars, who unfolded thanks to their dark influence, into killing machines, armies of mutated monsters, who attacked and killed many of us.

Our curse had taken action as we killed the Titan, so as our bodies died, our soul remained, already chained, on the battlefield

Using their power, fuelled with wrath for their slain brother, the two remaining Titans destroyed our world, our planet, shattering it to pieces!" Neherit said and let a bomb shattering, from which we would not be able to get well soon.

"W-w-wait they destroyed the planet, but how, I mean, this is an entire Planet, how are they able to easily destroy it!" Karin asked.

"My dear Karin, these beings are so powerful since they were draining all the energy out of the planet and the atmosphere, in the end they even went for the force of the galaxy as if they were Vacuums.

At the very end of all of this, the planet was robbed of every fuse it ever had inside of its core and was only an idle pile of dust, stone, plants and water anymore, but as the atmosphere left, even that died out, nothing was to live anymore.

But the Titans weren´t done with just that, they used the entire force they had stolen and caused the planet to blow up in splinters, tiny pieces, just like a bomb explosion, only an unmeasurable amount more violent.

It was like a supernova, despite our planet not being a star.

I don´t even know, how my ancestors managed to safe a portion of Humanity from this devastation, but they did, somehow.

They brought them all far away into the universe, far away from the galaxy we once originated from, into safety, on one land they could safe before it all ended, together with splinters of the planet.

They called the land Gensan no Kuni, the land of Origin, the land where I was born.

However The Titans too had saved themselves a land, in order to build a new world, the land on which we later sealed them, Norowa no arechi (wasteland of the damned).

They had out powered themselves almost completely, as they shattered the planet to pieces in that supernova-like explosion, it is impossible for me to comprehend how they managed to survive this.

But they did, they somehow followed us, in order to destroy the last traces of the old world and mankind as well as my race, erasing it from existence.

All I then still know from what my grandmother and the memories told me, was that my Ancestors used the land and the splinters of our old world, as well as the stardust around us and created a new galaxy.

New stars, new planets, a new Sun and a new earth, they sacrificed half the lives of our race, in order to pull that off, over 100 million souls lost forever, to shape a new world.

They used the ultimate lost Jutsu, Sekai no tanjō no jutsu (Jutsu of the World-birth), the mightiest Jutsu, we ever knew of, it´s written in the soul of each of us Edemah Ruh by mother nature or which deity ever created our old planet before and yet we know that one alone is not able to ever use it, it´s the force of a God, literally!" Neherit stated and it was dead silent.

"You´re kidding right?!" Karin asked.

"It´s all in the memories, I have no influence on them, but if you know that at every second, somewhere in the wides of the universe a new galaxy is born then you can think that it is quite imaginable.

Maybe we also just came across a new born galaxy and settle down on a derelict planet, shattering and creating it new together with our splinters…., geez I don´t know, fact is…, the Three Titans came back after many thousand years, to destroy us, but we managed to seal them after a long and gruesome war, to kill them they still were too strong and too tall, they are as tall and large as a mountain.

So we sealed them, 2000 years long we finally had our peace, but then they reappeared, once again a new war unfolded, we fought defeated them and sealed them again and turned the time to the days before they began to destroy anything, overwriting the past, and ever since it happens that they come back after every 2.000 years to kill and destroy us once and for all.

And as things are standing they will begin to wake up soon again!" Neherit told us and I fell backwards on my as most of the others too, Himawari crawled over to me, I sat down and tried to comprehend the just heard.

"What happened afterwards!?" Dad asked.

"You mean after the new planet was born and we defeated and sealed the Titans, well live went on, we tried to continue as best as we could, we Edemah Ruh began to reactivate the deserted planet with help of the minimal of rest energy which was still stuck within the splinters of our planet and our own forces and so we managed to cultivate a new Nature on this planet.

The Bodies of the humans, which were left on the battlefields and which we still could find, we gathered together and created a giant mausoleum within the rocks of a canyon and a mountain, the Musei tamashī no tani(Valley of the silent souls) and the Holy Mountain Kyūkei Tamashī no yama (Mountain of the dormant souls) where my old Village lies at the foot of the Mountain.

Our bodies, which were left on the battlefield, however had rotten during the war, our blood and our force, naturally born and the stolen one, sunk in the ground of the Battlefield, nourished by the energy of our new planet the alien energy of the planet, with which we completed ours, like a jigsaw puzzle, gave birth to the Shinju!" He told and suddenly it dawned to us.

"So that means that your force and their force merged together with the force of this planet…, is the Original form of Chakra, am I right?" Dad asked.

"Indeed it is, let me continue, this is what happened during the years we lived on the new planet as the Titans were still far away from the planet.

Many Centuries of peace and minor conflicts followed, 20.000 years to be honest.

Then came the time of Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, after the war of light and darkness, she broke the taboo we had made after learning the truth about the Shinju and how the forces within, could change people, she took it and ate the entire fruit of the Shinju tree.

This granted her our whole force, the force of the planet, both ancient and alien, but also the stolen force of the demons which came from the eyes or rests of their bodies which rotted away with our bodies on the battlefield.

The forces slowly began to corrupt her into a being which was not human anymore.

The Paranoia of her fear of ending as a Chakra-pill for her brother Momoshiki, drove her so far, as to fight her own sons, born with the same force, however with more of our and the natural force, than the demonical force.

The Chakra transformed her, as she merged with the New Shinju, to become even more powerful, however the demonical force was now double so strong, and so she was transformed in the Juubi and the Great War of the Ancient took its toll, which lasted a 100 years of battles!" Neherit explained.

"Wait so if we shall be concrete, you are saying that Kaguya ate human flesh?" Himawari asked and she had to almost puke.

"More or less, the years of being set out to the natural and the alien energy, converted our bodies and the Titan´s into Natural material until it became a mix between wood and flesh.

The fruit grew thanks to the amount of evil miasma which still was stuck in the pieces of our old planet, so to say it cleaned the atmosphere, and reached ever so high to get more of it.

On its height one could see of how well the atmosphere had been cleaned, but ever since the Kaguya War and the Ninja wars, the amount of demonical force and natural force increased dramatically.

Then the Juubi was released yet again, 19 years ago, it cleaned the atmosphere of most of the old demonical forces, but through its attack shot a new version of it out in the world.

The aura is not to see with normal eyes, only we can see it, who we live in the grey dimension, the Uzumakis however can see it with a special lens embedded in one of their masks, the Ghost-mirror.

After the Kaguya War 900 years of peace followed, the Juubi had been sealed in the moon, and its force had been sealed within the Nine Bijuus.

During the years before and after that time, our Children who still were alive, had spread out over the new world, starting numerous Clans.

They also found friends and allies in the Senju clan, one of the two strongest Ninja Clans in the world, with which they later created the Uzumaki Clan, `Jikan no uzu no chiiki shakai´, as we call him, the Clan in the vortex of time!" Neherit said and I was buff.

"Yes that might be true, it always was said that the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan had been distant Blood-relatives, but not one book could tell more about this!" Shigure said and Dad nodded.

"Indeed, however books are not always differ the truth from fiction, if you want to know about the past, just ask my Grandmother, our elder the Itako Chika, she lives far longer than I do and so also has seen far more than all books of history can tell!" Neherit said and we nodded.

I recognized, that the fiend positions we had earlier, has been long gone, all of us sat on the floor listening to the history of this mysterious boy and about the even more mysterious clan he shall come from.

Even as incredible and impossible his story sounded, weren´t we the one to judge of what happened thousands of years ago, we just saw these memories and felt the pain, even if it was weakened.

"Then the two Demon Gods arrived, with the blast of a meteorite they crashed into our planet and almost instantly began to destroy the lands around them

Having refuelled and accumulated their forces, they were too strong for us alone to defeat, and so after a millennium of war, the second of the so called Millennium-wars, they managed to fairly destroy the world making it inhabitable.

But due to being physically no longer part of the world of the living, we had no power to re-create the world as before, also due to having no resources for that, no one wanted to sacrifice again millions of souls.

The world seemed to be lost forever, 1.000 years long the world had been split in thousands of pieces only hold by gravity!" He told and we paled.

"Yes we truly though that this time our all live has ended, we remained in a deep depression about it.

However as we found out that many Humans had survived against all odds on the planets new surface, we were overjoyed.

With help of the survived Uzumaki clan and the Senju as well as many other clans and Nations, we managed to defeat them both and to reseal them, this time however we took precaution, we managed to split the soul from their bodies and crush the bodies in four pieces each, each of these pieces had been then sealed within containments created out of stardust and meteorites pressed together forming giant sphere-like containments, it was the first time we use the God-coffin Jutsu.

The seals held the dead body parts under chains and we send the containments far away into the orbit.

The souls and energy of them both, as well as the dead body of Luziferius we sealed in the god-coffin here on earth, to have knowledge about their awakening and to strengthen the seals and if necessary put them back to slumber.

Afterwards we overwrote the past, where the Titans went lose, with the current present of the Titans being sealed, we went back in time and the planet was whole again, just as if never something had happened.

Everyone was happy.

However, stripped of our live as physical beings, and our number having decreased massively after the last seal we had crafted, around 14.000 years ago, we were only able to seal them away for 2.000 years.

From that day on, we were `normal´, well you know what I mean, without force, unless we get a body.

Or we fight in a realm in which we can become physical, like here in the grey dimension, a dimension where life and death lie close together.

We though we finally could breathe up, and had sealed them for good, however had we no idea, that they soon would break out again. It happened now so often on their own accord, but since the last war something had changed.

It seems to me and my Grandmother, that someone is working on breaking the hell-circles to free them!" Neherit stated and we did not trust our ears.

"Wait what someone is truly trying to wake them up freely, who could be so crazy to do that?!" Sarada asked.

"No clue, but apparently they already tried it 1.100 years ago, during the demon war, they managed to open the gates of the first and the second Hell-circle, in each circle from which it gives exactly 9, are 3 gates guarded by a mighty demon.

That they managed to break 6 gates proved their skills, but we luckily could stop them before they progressed further and maybe woke the Titans before the time.

But 4 months ago the Saigai Kane, a bell crafted out of the Titans bones after the first war, which reacts to the Titans awakening, began to ring and a few days ago my informant told me that the bells rings as fast as to that time.

That time we managed to bring the all the demons back in the hell-circles but one, the first gate-guardian, Mōryō!" Neherit stated and Dad looked nervously to the ground.

But in order to still close it, we asked the Senju and the Uzumaki Clan to craft the last seal with us.

It´s stronger than the 2nd gate-guardian of the 3rd circle, which is already quite strong.

All we can do is to hope that we can find them and stop them, before it´s too late.

If we don´t manage to defeat the Titans this time, they will destroy our world once and for all!" Neherit explained.

"I see, that would be really bad, I think I speak for the entire mankind here, we cannot let it come so far!" Dad said, and we all nodded, we listened to what Neherit said.

"Unfortunately, had I searched for 4 months straight, since I have been sent by our Elder, but the only Uzumakis still alive were you 6 Uzumakis, 5 if we consider, that Himawari-chan has more inherited from the Hyuuga clan, as from the Uzumaki clan?

And my clan has also shrunk significantly towards not more than 50 families and a good portion of them are only Children!" Neherit told us.

It is still unclear of how much they can help us, but I hope for a lot of help from their side.

Anyways, enough with the chitchat, my Problem is, that we have too less helpers found, my elder already said that most of the Clan had been extinct as ever before, in this timeline.

However I never thought that it was this worse, I honestly have no real believe that we will make it just with you 6 alone, however, our Elder has trust and faith in you, so I will try to believe in you as well.

But you have to travel quickly towards my land, the demons already begin to wake up again, the constant earthquakes are sign for it as well.

We might have only 3 to 2 months anymore before they begin to stirr, then it will not last long before they fully awake and break their seals, if they do, the world will experience a war which we might not survive this time.

This is our last chance, we will try our best to destroy them once and for all, and if we all fail, well, it would definitely be better not to do so!" he said and we all knew he was very right there.

"Wow that's really some intense shit!" I said and Sarada looked even more terrified than I was, even though I for myself was near crying, Himawari already had started and dived into Dads embrace.

I took Sarada´s hand and she looked at me with a pained smile.

"I don´t want to lose anyone of you, if the time to fight has come then I will fight to defend what I love, even if I get killed.

I mean we just got told that the end of the world might come in 2 or 3 months, so we still have plenty of time to train, i´m certain we going to kick those Demons in the ass, reseal them, built up the whole Uzumaki clan from anew, and if, only theoretically spoke, we should not be able to defeat them this time, but only to seal them for another 2.000 years, our future generations at least have more chances as we right now!" I joked to lighten up the mood a bit.

"Do we even have a chance, I mean we are only six persons and far from being a dynamic team, most of us don´t even truly know each other, do you really think we might succeed?" Dad asked Neherit.

"A tiny chance there is but it´s still more than nothing, You, Mr. Shigure and Miss Karin are all three extremely strong and your Children are also quite strong for their age, as much as I could survey!" Neherit said to us.

"Wait so you watched us the entire time!" Karin-san shouted blushing and furious.

"Only if you fight, I am no voyeur, it´s not like I would be able to even feel anything, such things are unnecessary and uninteresting for me.

Feelings are only a hindrance in my occupation of high-sage of Spirits!" Neherit said coldly and casually, while Karin-san looked quite disturbed.

"Anyways I also thought about the problem of our combat-power, but I think I have a solution to this problem, however it will, perhaps, not be ethically accepted in your sense of understanding, so it´s up to do to decide wherever I should do it or not!" Neherit explained.

"What are you going to do?" Dad asked.

"I´m going to… bring some people here, some who had slumbered for a long time!" Neherit said cryptically.

"Geez…, you won't get me a clearer explanation right…., well, I guess as long as it will help us to save our world, you can bring whoever you want, but you better don't betray us!" Dad said getting nods off us.

"Alright then this will have been cleared then, I will now bring you back to your world, you already have been in here way too long, it might get you powerless for a few hours, forgive me the rough way you had to take, to get here!" He said and suddenly the Space bended.

Before we could comprehend what was happening, we stood back at the street before our house, exactly where we had been first attacked by Neherit.

However it was already evening, how long we might have been away.

"I hope mom didn´t worried too much about us!" I said.

"I hope so too, anyways about you guys, what are you going to do for now!" Dad asked Karin-san, Shigure-san and his daughter, Sarin-san.

"Well I don´t know what you are doing but I will now search a nice hotel and then I will think about the just heard, you have no idea how crazy that was, as this guy attacked me out of nowhere.

And now I am here in Konohagakure, I actually had sworn to never come near here, since I am still wanted by the 5 nations, but oh well, now that I am here, I might as well stay for a while in hiding, but I should get away as fast as possible!" Karin said uneasy.

"You better be careful Sarada, Dad told me that she was always after your father!" I said to Sarada.

"Will be, she´s somehow suspicious to me, but now I know that we are nothing alike, as I once thought!" the same replied, scanning Karin with narrowed eyes.

"Well I still wanted to show Sarin the town a bit, but I will also stay until tomorrow, to truly discuss what we can do!" Shigure asked and Sarin nodded.

"And you Neherit?" We asked, looking at him, while he looked up in the stars.

"I still have to do something important, something that might can double our chance a little bit, but I would like it if we can all meet in at least two days a bit outside of town, for the test to determine the momentarily Leader of the current Uzumaki clan.

Means a battle royal between you 6, to see who will be able to awake as the bearer of the Nikkōgan (Sun-eye)!" Neherit said.

"Nikkōgan, what´s that, wait wasn´t that one of these eyes you told about?" We asked.

"Indeed, the Nikkōgan is an ancient eye-force, with it one is able to penetrate the veil of time, means one is able to see the past as well as the possible futures of a person, so to say, one can look through their soul and mind, through reading in the blood of beings.

For the future it heavily depends on the decisions of the one who´s blood is read, so it enables to predict what they will become, where they will go or what they will do someday, if they follow the same route they are going.

Furthermore it is able to (re-)create life by turning back the time of individuals, but not only of injuries, even death can be redo, however only if injuries and the death are not more than 24 hours existent, for it exchange the physical state from 24 hours ago with the injured state of the present.

Also the eyes are able to slow the time of the entire surrounding in a radius of 10 miles down to slow motion, beside of the bearer of the eyes.

Also to turn time back for about 24 hr and to still know what happened in the future, one does not get affected by the time-turning.

However these kind of abilities also require a massive amount of Chakra, to be used.

It can only be awoken by the strongest member of the Uzumaki Clan, who has inherited the blood of the Leader, it has been once awoken by my Uncle, who gave it over to his son, who later became the 1st leader of the Uzumaki Clan, shortly before the battle with the Titans.

Afterwards it has been seen on several of the Following leaders of the Uzumaki Clans, those who had been known as heroes, until the times of the second sealing, in every timeline he or his strongest descendant wore it.

Ashina-san had it too, however, ever since his death, the eyes have been lost, I really hope that one of you will be able to re-awake them, this way you can see the entire past of our Clan if you should still not believe me!" Neherit said.

"Well it´s not that we do not necessarily believe you, it´s just that we want to prove things before speaking with other nations and perhaps start the 5th Ninja World war!" Dad said.

"Anyways, as I said I still have some things to do, there are some candidates to bring with!" Neherit said cryptically, before he went away.

"What do you think about him, Naruto?" Karin-san and Shigure-san asked my dad.

"No idea, but the memories we saw were real, I felt it in my heart somehow, all the pain seemed to be so real as if my own body was pierced through, sliced open or blown into oblivion, simply killed in every possible way, as if I was first hand in the war to that time.

Somehow I just believe Neherit's words, I mean it would be not the first time, something unthinkable happens and leads to a war, just remember the last Ninja World War, I felt the pain and the sorrow of thousands of humans in my heart!" Dad said.

"I felt it too!" I said while the others nodded as well.

"Anyways as you heard, we shall come once again together in two days, Shigure-san, Karin, Sarin-chan, I will trust you for now, but I wish that you won't disturb the peace of our village, understood.

Also I will not pursue you Karin, but I cannot guarantee for everyone else in this village.

The easiest way for you would be to come to my villa, we have enough place you know.

If this war is to come, then we will have far better things to do, than to fight under each other anyways, I hope I can count on your cooperation!" Dad said and they nodded.

"I also don´t want to have trouble with you guys, I just want back to my friends, and I want to be a bit alone, but thanks for the offer!" Karin-san stated.

"Are we still standing under surveillance?" Shigure asked.

"I will have to check your story first, but I'm certain that soon you will be free to roam through our town as you wish, but for now you better rest your forces, I will book a hotel-room for you guys!" Dad said.

"Thanks Nephew!" Shigure said.

"Yeah thanks man, it will do me good to, for once, being away from Suigetsu and to have some peace from all the crap he constantly pulls me through, we had a fight lately and I don´t want to be in his company for a while!" Karin said.

"You are still going around with them, I though you would run towards Orochimaru instantly?" Dad said.

"No I don´t really have any plans, I mean since Sasuke has returned to Konohagakure, I have no believe to ever come together with him anymore.

Not that it matters, I matter so much to him, that he left me and the others on the Battlefield like broken tools, without a second glance.

Still then again I also have no idea what to do all alone, I don´t really want to go back to Orochimaru, therefore I am glad not to know where he is, as long as he keeps his distance to me.

For this I even endure the company of Yugo and Suigetsu, what does one not do for not being lonely and all alone!" Karin said, sighing, as if it was worth the weight of the world.

"Still as said, it´s good to get a clear head from all their bullshit, for once!" She smirked.

"Alright,… well anyways, we better get home, Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke must be worried sick!" Dad said to Himawari, Sarada and me and I was shocked.

"Your father is going to kill us, I mean we have been away for hours as it seems!" I said to Sarada.

"Probably, but I bet mom will be way more furious!" She said sweat-dropping.

"That does not even ease me fear in the slightest you know, if anything it frightens me even more, your father I can handle, but your mother is a whole different story!" Dad stated and I nodded.

We said goodbye to the others and made an appointment to meet in two days, on the external training field out of town.

"Alright, at guard, be careful, your mother is probably furious and ….!" Dad said, as we came to our house, standing at the porch, but he was interrupted in a ugly way.

"Wooook!" With a mighty beat, Dad was punched, together with the door, backwards on the wall at the entrance, across the entire garden.

"NARUTO UZUMAKI; BORUTO UZUMAKI; HIMAWARI UZUMAKI; SARADA UCHIHA; WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" A voice screamed and in the door stood no one else but Mom, and the state she was in, was that of a furious goddess of wrath, her Byakugan were activated and she had deep eye rings.

It told me, that we definitely hadn´t been away for just a few hours.

"For the last two days I cry my eyes out, believe that you be dead, not a single sign of life from you, and then you dip here at once calmly on, and all you can do is to rip off such a lousy Speech, about me being angry and furious…., I was sick with worry, goddammit!" Mom screamed, as she stood in the front entrance, eyes turning back normal but puffy red from crying, the Face distorted in pain, sorrow and wrath.

"Sarada!" We heard it coming from the back of the house, and in one second flat, she was in the arms of her mother.

"Where have you been, I thought you were dead, Hinata suddenly called, speaking of you and her family being vanished in thin air, if we wouldn´t have seen Shigure and his Daughter vanishing before us, we wouldn´t have believed it!" Sakura-san shouted, crying her eyes out similar to mom.

"Ow, dammit, you still have a hard Beat, sweetheart!" Dad said, as he stood up from the pieces of the destroyed brick wall and the shattered door, being helped by Sasuke, who looked with something like mild understanding at him.

"I understand your fury guys, but please, let us go inside, we have to tell you guys something important!" Dad said and we nodded.

Mom and the Uchiha adults looked confused, as we entered and closed the door, before using technics to make the house soundproof.

What we had to tell them, would definitely shock them to the core for sure.

And I knew that they might don´t believe it at first, therefore I know, someone is going to sleep on the couch tonight, and I know that two are going to have to sleep with mom.

(Ending song: Kimi no Uta- Abingdon Boy School)

A/N: Hello and welcome to my first Naruto story, I hope you like it.

As you know do all the Canon Original Characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto, I own nothing beside the OC´s and the Plot for this Story.

I am sorry for if I confused you with the history of Neherit´s clan, anyways, logically is this Story not canon, that means that every jutsu or special force you have seen, that is not in the canon story, has only being created by me for this Story.

Also are most Japanese Words being translated via Google Translator, so i´m sorry if the sense of the words has been wrong.

For the Song Grandmother Chika and Neherit are singing, is an edited version of Nightwish´s Creek Mary´s Blood.

Warning Spoiler: The here in this story called song, the Blood of time, will play, alongside of other Jinkan no Senkensha Songs, a big role later in the story, during the climax.

The Sun-eye, and many Characters, like Shigure, Sarin and Neherit, or beings, like Kyūbiko and the Three Demon Gods/ Titans area also not Canon.

Anyways I really hope that you like this story, please read and review.

This story got a little edited and advanced from the first publish.
