It has been over ten years since the ending of the Fourth Shinobi War and the destruction of the Ancient Black Dragon. Since then, the Leaf Village's greatest hero, Naruto Uzumaki has lived out his dream of becoming Hokage and has married his childhood sweetheart, Sakura Haruno, and had kids of their own.

Now, it's time for the new generation of Ninjas to take over as the new era of Chuunin Exams set to begin...

An alarm clock went off in a bedroom as the sun started to rise. A hand reached out and stopped the alarm. The person, who lifted up their head, was reveled to be a female with long, blonde hair and green eyes.

"7 a.m.?" she said, then sitting up, "I don't even remember setting the alarm." "That's because I was the one who set it!" The girl turned around to see an older Sakura standing in front of her bed. "Mom?" "Good morning, Wakaba," Sakura said. "Mom, what are you doing?" Wakaba asked, "I'm not supposed to get up for another hour! I always get up at eight o'clock!"

"Not today!" Sakura said, "Your father wanted me to get you up to prepare! Now, stop whining and get up..." Before she could finish her sentence, Wakaba quickly went to sleep. Sakura started to get angry as she clenched her fists. Seconds later, the whole house, they were living in was shaking, forcing Wakaba to wake up quickly. "You know," Sakura said, showing demonic red eyes, "It's still too early for you to challenge my authority!" "Okay, okay!" Wakaba said, sitting back up, "I'm up for real this time!"

"Good!" Sakura said, going back to her normal look, "Now, I expect one-hundred situps and two-hundred pushups before breakfast! See you downstairs!" After Sakura left the room, Wakaba laid back down in shock. 'Mental Note...' she thought. 'Never go against your parents, especially one who can cave in your ribs with just her finger...'

Chapter EXTRA: Go To Next & Beyond

"197...198...199...200!" Wakaba said, laying on the floor of her bedroom, finishing her pushups, "Good, I've finished my warm-up!"

Five minutes later, Wakaba walked downstairs. "I hope that your excerise gave you an appetite!" Sakura said as her daughter sat at the table. "Mom," Wakaba said, "Pain doesn't cause hunger, you know! By the way, where's Dad?" "He took your little brother to do some morning training before the sun came up and went to the stadium afterwards."

"That's not fair, Mom!" Wakaba whined, "Dad always get to do stuff with Boruto!" "Wakaba Uzumaki!" Sakura said, "Need I remind you, that I couldn't tear you away from father, or me, for the first four years! He's only trying to spend time with his family, because all of you are getting older. Besides, you're fourteen years old; you'll be fifteen in a few days. You can't rely on your father forever..."

"Speaking of which," Wakaba spoke up, "Daddy told me and Boruto about the time you and him faced off against something called The Spirit of the Ancient Black Dragon..." Immediately, Sakura started to think back ten years ago. "My," she said, "Time sure does fly..." "Then, what Daddy said was true, wasn't it? You did die, didn't you?" Sakura sat down at the table with her cup of coffee. "I almost did," she then said, "If you father didn't come save me back then..." "So, how did you defeat it?" "Well..."

(Flashback)

"I know my wish now," Sakura said, "My wish is...Ancient Black Dragon..." Everything went quiet as Sakura took a deep breath. Then, she made her wish after opening her eyes.

"DISAPPEAR, FOREVER!"

(End Flashback)

"But how did you know that your wish was the One True Wish?" Wakaba asked. "It was what the Shrine Maiden, who defeated the Ancient Black Dragon, said to me," Sakura said, "What the Dragon wants, He can't be a part of... The answer was...Life. Its spirit needed human souls to survive, but when the One True Wish was granted, he lost that power. My guess is...The Black Dragon didn't belong on in the realm of humans, so it needed to be destroyed."

"Was it the crystal that made you find your answer?" "No. It made me realize...that at the brink of despair, I couldn't lie about what my heart was telling me; I was in love with you father. And, I still am..."

"That sounds so romantic, Mom!" Wakaba said. "So, Wakaba..." Sakura continued, "Even if Dad isn't spending time with his family, he's always thinking about us. But, since he is Hokage now, his responsibility is to the whole village." "I understand." "Good, now that you've learned your lesson for the day, it's time to eat breakfast! You need to be at the stadium in less than two hours!"

[At The Hokage's Office]

Hokage Naruto was sitting in his chair reading some papers. A knock came at the door seconds later.

"Come in," he said, still reading. Shikamaru Nara entered the office and handed another piece of paper. "Here you go, Naruto," he said, "Another report of the same situation." "This makes it the fourth report this month alone," Naruto said, "The other two reports, that came from the Village of Sand and Lighting, all say the same thing. But this doesn't add up: An intruder comes from out of nowhere and takes resources from that village, but no one was hurt..."

"They also say that..." Shikamaru began, "...It's a different person everytime." "They are pretty clever," Naruto replied, "Whatever group is doing this... It's seems that they didn't want to arouse suspicion. I wonder if it was a bad idea when the other Kage asked to handle this mission...covertly." "Are you sure Sasuke is up for this undercover assignment? I know he is your best friend and all, but he's not exactly trustworthy. The last time, he showed up here, was four years ago." "Sasuke knows what will happen, if he tried something stupid again. Besides, he gave me his whole trust when he left me his daughter to watch over."

"Speaking of which," Shikamaru began, "Where is Sarada?" "She spent the night over at a friend's place. Which reminds me, I need to get over to the stadium to give the speech to start the Final 8 of the tournament." Naruto said, "Why don't you come along?" "I can't. I have to look over the reports just in case more like these come in. But Temari and Shikadai will be there; they tell me all about it. Just tell Wakaba I said "Hi"." "You got it!"

Two hours had passed as everyone filled the stadium waiting for the tournament to begin. In the waiting rooms, Wakaba was finishing her warm-up with her teacher. "Looks like you're ready!" her teacher said, "You've gotten a handle with mastering that superstrength of your mother's, right?" "Thanks for coming to help me warm-up, Konohamaru-sensei!" "All right!" Konohamaru said, "Your warm-up is done. Now, go ahead and change into your outfit."

Wakaba wore a full-body jumpsuit and a white-and-blue jacket, which the length only came down to her half of her waist. Her blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and her Leaf Headband was tied to her left jacket sleeve. She clenched her fists togther afterwards.

"Looks like somebody is ready!" a voice said. Wakaba and Konohamaru turned to see the Hokage, Naruto, walking up to them. "Daddy!" "Naruto, you're finally here!" "Damn right! I'm not planning to miss out on my daughter's chance to become a Chuunin!" Konohamaru chuckled as he left for the father and daughter to enjoy each other's company. "Wakaba, I'll see you out there," he said.

"Has Mom and Boruto made it yet?" Wakaba asked. "Well," Naruto said, "Mom is here, but Boruto is still out training. But, he said that he'll be here later. Just stay focused on your match, okay?" "I will. And, Dad? I promise to make you proud today." "Win or lose, it doesn't matter. Being a Ninja is more than winning battles; it's how you use your skills in a situation to stay alive." Then he kneeled down putting his hands of her shoulder. "One more thing: No matter what happens, I'll always be proud of you!"

Smiling, Wakaba hugged her father. "Thank you, Daddy!" she said. "Now," Naruto said, standing up, "Go out there and show them what an Uzumaki's power is made of!" "Right!"

Fifteen minutes later, the entire stadium was filled to capacity. Sakura, sitting in the middle rows, was joined by several of her friends. "Looks like you want to see Wakaba win this thing!" "Don't kid yourself, Ino!" Sakura said, "I just want her to do the best that she can." "I just hope that they don't go overboard with showing off!" Hinata said sitting with Kiba, "With my daughter there..." "You're worrying to much, Hinata!" Ino said, "The kids will be fine! Oh, look! They're starting it now!"

Everyone looked on as the Hokage stepped forward to give his speech before the tournament.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Hidden Leaf Village!" he spoke, "In a few minutes, we will start the Final 8 of the tournament as eight of our Leaf Ninjas try to prove why they should be more than just Genin. During my generation, I was just a young boy with a big dream. My dream was to become Hokage; at times, I always thought that my dream was too much to achieve. But, if it wasn't for my friends and my family, I would have never have made my dream come alive! So, this is to all of our young Genin: No dream, big or small, is never too much to achieve!"

The entire stadium applauded the speech. "And," Naruto continued, "As the sun sets slowly on my generation, it will rise with our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, and one day, our grandchildren. So, today, before this long day is over, we'll will decide a winner. But, I will decide who will be chosen as Chuunin. Now, with our eight finalists ready to battle..."

"LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"

The crowd went into an uproar as they awaited the first match. Out in the middle the battlefield, Rock Lee appeared to them as referee. "Will the first two combatants please enter onto the battlefield?" he said as his voice echoed.

Slapping her face to herself psyched, Wakaba gave a thumbs-up to Konohamaru. "I'm off, Sensei!" she said. "Just do you best, Wakaba!" Konohamaru said. Taking a deep breath, she walked out into the middle of the battlefield, where Lee was standing. Another girl came out and stood in the middle as well. The girl looked like a younger version of Hinata. "It looks like we'll be giving them the main event first!" Wakaba said, "Am I right, Himawari?"

"I never realized that the brackets would do something like this!" Kiba said. "Himawari and Wakaba?" Hinata said, "Already? But they're best friends!" "This is bad!" Ino said in a worried state, "This is so bad! Sakura, do you know what this is?" Sakura turned her head as she narrowed her eyes at her best friend and said, "Bad?" "Well, it's not good!" "You're lucky Sai and your son isn't here to see you like this!" Sakura continued, "This is just like what happened when you and I fought. It was going to come down to this; there was no way around it..."

"I won't lose to you, Wakaba!" Himawari said. "Same here!" Wakaba shouted. "The first match is: Himawari Izuzuka vs Wakaba Uzumaki!" Lee shouted, "Ready, BEGIN!"

Both girls backed away from each other as Wakaba got into a fighting stance and Himawari activated her Byakugan. "Here I come!" Himawari shouted running towards her. Before she landed a blow, Wakaba slammed her fist down on the ground, creating small crevices. This caused Himawari to back off. The female Uzumaki raced in to throw a punch, but hers and her opponent's gentle fist collided, pushing them back again.

"I see that you have been able to master your mother's strength!" she said. "Of course," Wakaba said, smiling, "I wouldn't be ready to face you if I didn't learn the basics. I want to be the kind of Ninja that only my family can be proud of!" "I feel the same way!"

While the battle was going on, Temari looked on with her son, Shikadai. "Look," she said, "One day, you're going to be just like them, Shikadai." "It's a drag," Shikadai said, "But, I think I can handle it..."

Sakura continued to look down at her daughter. 'I can see your smile from up here, Wakaba!' she thought. 'You have the exact same smile that your father gave me, all those years ago!' Naruto looked down at Wakaba, as well. "You're going to be something great, Wakaba!" he said, "I just know it! Speaking of which, I thought that Boruto would be here by now..."

A young boy, who had the exact, same appearance as Naruto, appeared in front the stadium.

"I, finally, finished my training," he said, "Now, I can finally see how Wakaba is doing..." "Still as late as ever, I see..." a person said, as he/she appeared behind him, "Don't you ever show up on time, Boruto?"

Naruto's son, Boruto, turned around and saw a girl with glasses. "I could say the same thing about you, Sarada!" he said, "What boneheaded excuse do you have this time?" "I was coming back from visiting Chou-Chou. If you keep this up, you'll never make Genin!" "We'll see about that! I plan on becoming a better Ninja than my father ever was! I'll repaint the Ninja World in my own image!"

"Hmph!" Sarada said, adjusting her glasses, "You just love to hear yourself talk! It's too bad that we're not old enough to get inside the arena to fight!" Boruto started smirking as clenched his fists. "Who says that we need to fight in there?!" Smirking as well, Sarada activated her Sharingan. "You're right!"

Ten seconds passed by them. In a blink of an eye, both of them rushed in, drawing back their fist before they collided...

The New Era of Leaf Shinobi is rising as they test their mettle: Friend vs. Friend, Rival against Rival, and Ninja vs Ninja! What is this new case that Naruto has Sasuke on? With his daughter, Wakaba, become the winner of the tournament? Or will she become a Chuunin? But, the most important question is: Who will become Hokage after Naruto's days are over?

All these questions will be answered...one day. But, for now, it is a DIFFERENT STORY...

THE END

Chapter EXTRA: Ending ~ White Light (Short Version)

Without saying anything, become white

Let's show them we will survive while ever-changing

I've thrown away both the black and the darkness

Enough already, I'm tired of them

Please, one last chance

I wanna be white, white, now...

In the exposed, in an exposed voice

Keep repainting the world into an ideal one

Aim for the white, aim for white

It's the time for evolution

I wanna be the white, white light

There's no such thing as "right", there's no such thing as "wrong"

Keep repainting the world into an ideal one

Stain the white, stain the white

It will never be tainted

I wanna be the white, white light
