It was supposed to be a game

[blueayes]

][][][
Tsunade walked in front of her father and grandfather she grinned as she barely controls the excitement she felt as she opened the doors.

In front of them were both the Uzumaki and Senju clans revived, each clan wore their traditional clothes for this occasion, but amongst them was another group, people who wore black cloths with white coats and masks that covered the bottom halves of their faces.

These were the people that fell under David's control, amongst them were men and women that were Uzumaki and Senju but had married outside of their clans and joined David's or Marks branch families.

There were even some Uchiha and Hyuga clan members amongst them, Tsunade knew her father and grandfather had immediately noticed this and she watched how both her grandfather and father took in the sight before them.

For a long time, everything she knew was gone, the constant wars and infighting had taken their toll and her entire clan suffered for it.

She had seen how the people she knew vanished one by one and soon only her and her brother were left.

Then her brother died and then the man she loved.

"Come on!" she said to her father and grandfather as she led them to a nearby building.

It was there that she taught everyone that had enough talent to lea the skills of the medical-nin.

Tsunade felt her father's hands around her as he hugged her and congratulated her.

She wanted to see her lost love again, but bringing him back now would not only insult David and everyone else, but it was something that she would share with Shizune.

"David," Tsunade said to her husband, it had been years since she first married him, and now he looked great.

Their marriage was filled with its fair share of problems but they had grown to care for each other.

"I know what I have to do," David said to her with a voice so cold it might as well have been ice

She watched how the dead began to rise as they burned everyone and everything around them, her father and grandfather moved to stop David but they were surrounded by not just David's clan but everyone else's.

"What are you doing!?" Tsunade said to the White Jaws, as she watched in horror as the kids she had watched grow into adults summoned their beasts and turned everything to dust.

She stood alone inside a crater.

Tsunade woke covered in sweat, she had to make sure David understand he couldn't keep doing this.

Whatever he had done must have affected him and his friends because even if the kids weren't aware of it, she was and so was everyone else.

Anyone that had paid any attention to the way David did things would know that he had done something, he must have the timing was to perfect, her mind turned to the dream that was quickly fading away.

She hadn't dreamt about anything in a while, for whatever reason she wasn't able to dream when she fell asleep drunk.

She was tempted to drink anything as long as it got her drunk and she could get some form of peace, but she knew that she couldn't do that, not this time.

Tsunade looked at the ceiling and for a brief moment she was tempted to turn on the light, but she didn't want to wake Tonton, so she laid there in the dark with only her thoughts to accompany her.

She knew that both David and Mark knew of a way to bring back the dead, their dreams had revealed that to her, and judging by the different ways they went about using that technique, they knew more than one way of doing it.

She remembered her childhood friends some of them got married and tried to leave the life of a ninja behind, others never got the chance to retire, then she remembered her mother, her brother, her husband, and her father.

Could she bring them all back?

No, she had to focus she couldn't allow herself to feel hope because having hope only lead to disappointment.

Tsunade opened the drawer next to her bed and turned on the light and she immediately felt Tonton move as he was about to wake up but managed to stay asleep.

She had picked it up before the kids had woken up and she didn't want to risk any of them using it for whatever reason so she took it with her.

As she looked at the stick she noticed that despite it being painted blue and red there wasn't anything special about it, except for a bunch of poorly drawn figures.

Tsunade felt her eyes widen as she saw something she silently cursed herself for not noticing before.

Of course, he would have a fail-safe.

When everyone watched both boys use the same spot but for different purposes, the Ambu immediately searched and destroyed any seals they could find.

The moment they did, those that destroyed the seal received basic hand seals and nothing more, but everyone knew that there was the chance that they had only received the bare minimum of information due to destroying the seals.

Now she knew their suspicions were right.

Tsunade let out a breath she couldn't treat that David like he was a boy, no she would have to treat him as the head of a clan, and even if he ended up despising her she had to make it clear that he couldn't keep doing things like this.

As she looked at the stick David's face came to mind, then it switched to the image of a young Orochimaru, without thinking Tsunade threw the stick away and cried.

Her ex-teammate, her ex-friend wasn't the monster he now is, no he was a bit of an oddball, but he always wanted the best for the people around him.

Tsunade covered her mouth so no one could hear her cry.

 

[blueayes]

Tsunade awoke to the sound of small feet running down the hallway, she didn't know when she had fallen asleep as she got up, she remembered what she found out last night and looked for that dammed stick but it wasn't where it landed.

Tsunade opened the door and found inches from Jiraiya's face.

"What," she said to him, she admitted that she had spoken to him rudely but she wasn't a morning person.

"We need to talk" Jiraiya answered her

Tsunade noticed that Shizune stood quietly next to Jiraiya and when she noticed the fearful expression Shizune had, her expression hardened.

"What did he do?' Tsunade asked them

"It's what he's planning on doing"

"What he has already done behind everyone's backs and what he will do if we..... If you can't control him," Jiraiya said to her.

Tsunade looked at her two closest friends and opened the door to her room and signaled them to enter.

"And how am I supposed to control him?" she asked them as she sat down on her bed.

"The same way you control anyone that marries into a family"

"You take away his freedom" Jiraiya answered her

There was a long and heavy pause and the only reason the silence was broken, was that in the time it took a person to blink Tsunade had slammed Jiraiya on the wall and held him by the thought.

The fact that he had even suggested that to her, did this man even know her?

Didn't he see the dead lifeless eyes of the men and women, that were treated like that, when he was growing up?

"You better explain yourself!" Tsunade said\ demanded

"He's just like Orochi," Jiraiya said to Tsunade but before he could say their old teammate's name Tsunade placed her hand on Jiraiya's mouth and squeed

"Lady Tsunade please listen!" Shizune pleaded to Tsunade as she tried to pull Tsunade from Jiraiya

Tsunade breathed and felt the anger she had calm itself but she had to be careful because if Jiraiya said the wrong things, she didn't know if she could stop herself.

"Say what you have to say," Tsunade said to Jiraiya and Jiraiya signaled to Shizune

Tsunade watched as Shizune brought out a map of not just the leaf villages civilian area, but what looked like the areas of most if not all of the clans that lived in it.

She watched as Shizune brought out a scroll and began to place different sheets of paper that were either colored red or blue.

Tsunade felt her anger completely vanish as she began to notice which areas were the ones that had color.

Every marked area was either where the ruling family of a clan lived or where something important was.

"Where is he?' Tsunade asked her two friends

"He's gone, as soon as he woke up, he ran to everyone's rooms and left"Shizune answered Tsunade

"Before you ask Heku is with them," Jiraiya said to Tsunade as he looked at Shizune and then at Tsunade

"I know that this isn't going to sound like a big deal to you but, none of them are wearing their uniforms," Jiraiya said to Tsunade

"Order- order ladies and gentlemen our great leader will speak" David announced to his friends as he presented Heku to everyone

"Thank you, Lord Senju," Heku said to David with a mischievous smile, he knew that his friend didn't like being called by that name

"First of all ket us all welcome Mikoto and Hana who are accompanying us today," Heku said to everyone as their teachers waved to them and everyone clapped

"Okay, okay," he said as he enjoyed being the new leader

"Now we all know the Hokage is going to be visiting the clans again this year, my plan is that since we couldn't do the challenge last time we go to the other stores in the village"

"You guys know the ones that are in the other clan's territories," Heku said to everyone and he watched everyone look at each other

"So that's why you gave us the maps," Mark said to Heku

"Yeah, Hana and Mikoto helped me make them. Look we just have to avoid going anywhere near the areas that are painted and we can get to the stores without any problems," Heku said to everyone

"Yeah, there's just one problem someone stole my map because it wasn't where I put it yesterday," David said to Heku

"Not a problem we came prepared," Hana said to David as she handed him a copy of the map that already had the areas he wasn't supposed to go near painted

"Did anyone else had their map stolen?" Hana asked her student and she handed Mark a copy of the map

'Okay, so that means Mark and I are being watched" David said as Mikoto flickered out of existence.

'Your not the only ones being watched" Mikoto said to everyone, as she showed them a toad that had a white mohawk and wore a black cape with a collar that covered his neck

"He's Jiraiya's toad," Heku said to everyone as he looked at the elder toad

'Your father"

"He's not my dad" Heku immediately said to the elder toad

"I was told to keep an eye on you and inform Jiraiya if something suspicious happened," the elder toad said to Heku

"Were just planning our game" David said to the toad as he unrolled the map and showed it to him

Mikoto lowered the elder toad and everyone watched as he began to walk on the map

"You have to admit this does look suspicious, can you tell me why these places are marked," the elder toad said to everyone

"Those are the areas we are not supposed to go near"

"I repeat these are the areas we are not supposed to go near" Sonia answered the toad who just looked at her without blinking

"I'll have to stay for the rest of your meeting, as both your teacher and Jiraiya's eyes," the toad said to Heku

"Why?" Heku protested but the toad immediately pointed at Hana and Mikoto

'They're your teachers and they're here, therefore I should be here too" the elder toad said to Heku

"He has a point" Mikoto said to Heku as Hana noodedin agreement

"So do you need a chair or?' Maria asked the elder toad who jus signaled to her that they should continue with the meeting

"Okay we all know that there are a lot of guards during this time, and whenever the Hokage is about to leave a lot of the guards start telling people to leave an area, which means that every other place is opened"

"Our mission is to move with him, you guys take one half of the map and we take the other half," Heku said to everyone, who just looked at him with confused expressions

'How?" Mark asked Heku, but it was Mikoto who answered him

"He takes the same route every year, that way if anything goes wrong his security can handle everything with minimal effort"

"Bu...but both Mark and David had their maps stolen, doesn't that mean that they're going to be watched?" Hinata said to Heku

"I don't know let's ask the exert" Hekusaid to Hinata as he turned to look at the elder toad

"Yes, but I don't see a reason for anyone to stop them, I mean your plan doesn't lead you to any of the dangerous areas," the toad said to them

"Okay this meeting is done, so who wants breakfast," Heku said to everyone as a waitress walks past their table

"Excuse me, we're ready," Mini said to a waitress who nodded and signaled to another waitress who began to pick up everyone's order

"Naruto what are you doing?" Shikamaru asked Nauto who was hiding behind a booth

"Shh, I'm watching David, he got up early today and ran out with everyone, not only that look who's with him," Naruto said to Shikamaru who looked at the nearby table and didn't see a problem

'So, werent Mikoto and Hanan training them?" Shikamaru said to Naruto

"Not them, look at the booth next to them," Naruto said to Shikamaru wh immediately noticed Itachi and Sazuke eating in the booth next to the table Mikoto was sitting at

"Look over there," Ino said to Shikamaru, as she pointed at Hanabi and Neji

"So what's up?" Ino asked Naruto

'I don't know, it looks like they're having some kind of meeting" Naruto answered Ino who was now staring at Narutos white coat

"Hey how come your wearing the clan's uniform but David and Mark arent?" Ino asked Naruto, the moment those words left Ino's mouth Shikamaru turned around and walked out of the restaurant, this was going to be trouble and he didn't care for it

'Well see yeah' Shikamaru said to Naruto and Ino

'So he meant it" Naruto said to himself

"What do you mean?" Ino asked Naruto

"The other day, something happened David got home and kicked everyone out of the office except the lady he married"

"He said that he was going to leave after she made her choice or something like that" Naruto answered Ino

"Maybe he wants to join another clan?" Ino jokingly said to Naruto

"Yeah, maybe" Naruto answered Ino, but his voice lacked the usual energy it always had

'Hey you can see what they're looking at from outside' Shikamaru said to them as he walked back into the restaurant and both Ino and Naruto followed him to the nearby window.

It was only for a moment but for a brief moment, the three of them could see the marked areas on the map before a waitress arrived and Heku had to roll it up so that she could give them their orders.

 

[blueayes]

"I wonder what they're planing," Ino said as she began to walk away, they had originally gone to the restaurant to get something to eat but she didn't think it was a good idea now

"You know we could just ask," Shikamaru said to her

"So Naru" Shikamaru was about to ask Naruto something when he felt a dark presence beside him and he noticed a dark shadow growing around Naruto.

He watched as the shadow grew, but every time the shadow was about to pull itself away from Naruto the wind would slam on the shadow forcing it back into place.

Shikamaru and Ino watched as the scene created itself in front of them.

This strange power was something that would happen from time to time, but whenever that happened their teacher would help naruto control the shadow until it calmed down again.

Now however something else was keeping this strange power, under control.

'Naruto" Ino said to Naruto who seemed to be in a trance, she called to him over and over again until her voice finally reached him and he turned to look at her.

"What was that?" Shikamaru asked Nauto who began to look around in confusion until he saw something floating on top of him.

"Did my shadow?" Naruto began to ask them but a strange figure lowered itself in front of Naruto and hit him on the head, before waving a finger at him.

It was as if the spirit was scolding Naruto for losing control.

'Sorry Blade" Naruto said to the wind spirit who vanished from sight as soon as Baruto apologized.

'What was that?" Ino asked Naruto

"Oh that was Blade, Mini said I could borrow him until I could control my spirit" Naruto answers Ino

"So that was it," Shikamaru said as he looked at Naruto and as both Ino and Naruto looked at him with expressions filled with curiosity he began to explain what he meant.

"Naruto you and Mini are either related or you have similar abilities, it's probably why David adopted you," Shikamaru said to Naruto but as the words left his mouth, he realized how rude he sounded.

he was going to apologize, but he saw how Naruto immediately began to nod.

"Yeah I know, the girls told me," Naruto said to Shikamaru before he began to walk away from the restaurant.

"I mean even I know, that orphans aren't allowed to live in the main house unless they're related to someone, but I don't know who," Naruto said to them as he walked

'What o you mean?" Ino asked him

"It's hard to explain, out here people didn't treat me the same way as everyone else, but when I'm in the Senju's area, it's like I'm just another person," Naruto said to them as he tried to explain something he barely understood himself.

"It's the reason I wear the coat outside of the clan's area, Imean ever since I moved there, its always been me and everyone else"

"David and Mark are the ones in charge and of everyone and everyone's happy, but ever since his wife came back things have been...."

"I don't know, I know it doesn't make sense because they are always working, but I don't want them to leave"

"Everyone there is like me, they all have one ability or another and we all get along, but if the ones that made that possible" Naruto said to them as he tried to hold back his tears.

Despite only living in the clan's compound for a short time he had somehow happily settled in and didn't want things to change.

"Relax they can't just leave anyway,"

"I mean David's married to Tsunade someone important to the village" Shikamaru explained to naruto

"Relax we aren't leaving anytime soon," Mini said to Naruto as she pointed at the window where everyone was waving at them

"It's a window, it works both ways," Mini said to them as Blade floated to her side

Shikamaru and Ino looked at each other as Mini walked up to Naruto, they expected her to punish him for spying on her and the rest of her team, but to their, surprise Mini just place a hand on Naruto's head.

"Blade told me you were losing control so I came to see what was wrong," she said to him with a kind smile

Shikamaru and Ino watched as Mini reached into her pocket and took out a piece of paper that was in the shape of a person.

The figure was completely white and had nothing except what looked like a drop of water drawn on it.

"I'm going to need Blade so you're going to need someone to help you control that spirit of yours, I don't know who you are going to get but Naruto it's up to you to listen to him or her" Mini said to Naruto as she handed him the pice of paper

"Close your eyes and forget about the world, I don't exist until I tell you I exist"

"Think of someone anyone that you want to meet, " Mini said to Naruto as the piece of paper began to glow

"'your life is its life, why because she\ he is a part of you," Mini said to Naruto as finally let go of him

Shikamaru and Ino as well as everyone that was just going about their day stopped and watched the piece of paper fly out of Nautos hand and begin to change.

"Naruo open your yes," Mini said to Naruto and Naruto found himself looking at a girl with long red hair standing next to Mini

"Hey, I'm Naruto," Naruto said to the girl who was happily smiling at him

"It's nice to meet you I'm Kushina" the spirit introduced herself to Naruto, before running up to Naruto and holding him in a tight hug

"I dint expect that," Mark said as he walked up to Mini who was happily looking at the scene in front of her

'Mark, what happened?" Mini asked Mark

"His power was so strong that it pulled memories from the past and gave them a new form"

"Think about it this way, she was like Blade and Flare, but that kid has so much power that she was able to make a body for herself, but it's not perfect half of her is here but the other half is somewhere else" Mark explained to Mini

"So is she human or is she a spirit?" Shikamaru asked Mark

"Both, but as far as you, me, and everyone else is concerned, that girl hugging Naruto is Human. What I mean is that she will grow up, get married, and die, just like everyone else"

"At least that's what Flare is telling me," Mark said to Shikamaru as Flare and Blade floated towards Naruto and Kushina

The spirits roared and Kushia immediately let go of Naruto.

"Why?" she said to the two spirits who just roared at her again

"What's going on?" Ino asked Mini

"They're saying that she broke the rules and now has to lose her memories," Mini said to Ino

"Because the dead are meant to stay dead and to stay dead and if they come back a price has to be paid" Mark added

Everyone watched as the rest of the spirits arrived and began to circle Kushina who looked at Naruto with a sad expression.

"Don't move or you will lose her" Mark said to Naruto who was about to interfere

everyone watched as the spirits graved a piece of Kushina and threw it into Naruto

"She was always a part of you," David said to Naruto as he walked out of the restaurant

"Now on the other hand she is more like your big sister, so take care of her and you no matter what happens don't do it," David said to Naruto and Kushina, no one knew what David was talking about and didn't dare ask him what he meant

"Naruto why don't you and your friends go show your new big sister around, we still have things to do here" Mark sid to Naruto

As both Shikamaru and, Ino heard him say this they were both aware that Mark had just told them to go away but he was being nice about it.

"You sure about this?" Mark asked David

"Yeah, let's shake this birdcage as much as we can before they kill us or try to lock us away" David answered Mark

Mini didn't know what the two were talking about and to be honest, she didn't care, the only thing she cared about right now was not letting her food get cold.

 

[blueayes]

Inside the restaurant, both Mikoto and Hana watched with wide eyes as Naruto left with Kushina and the other two children.

"This isn't going to work, " David said to the two of them as he sat down

"What do you mean?" Heku asked him

"I have the feeling that people might try to stop us" David answered Heku

"Not to worry, I have taken the liberty of telling the other clans, so that no one takes your game seriously," Han said to David as a dog walked into the restaurant.

The dog carried a letter in its mouth that it gave to Hana, then immediately left.

Hana read the letter and placed a hand on her cheek while letting out a small breath.

One letter began to arrive after another, each one either being carried by some sort of animal or some kind of summon, but they all said the same thing, Hana's petition was rejected.

"Great," Heku said as he looked at the plate of half-eaten food in front of him

"Boss, you can't give up, You're the boss after all," Sonia said to Heku

For a moment Heku closed his eyes and then turned to look at Maria.

'Okay we will accept that they said no to us, but that doesn't mean we have to listen to them our plans are just changing" Heku said to everyone

Sonia what do you got"Heku said to Sonia

"I say we take something from every clan," Sonia said to Heku but stopped talking when she saw Mikoto standing up

"Absolutly not I forvid it!" Mikoto said to everyone, causing everybody eating to turn and look at her

"You children were already told no, by the heads of those clans, meaning that you are declaring war should you chose to enter their areas," Hana said to everyone

"Then I guess well invade" Heku answered Hana

"No," Maria said to Heku

"We can't we just came back and if we get in trouble again," Maria said to everyone

"Then how about Hide and Seek, we have the map and we have the teams so why not?" Ana said to everyone

"Okay, so who is going to be the black team, and who is going to b the white team?" Mark asked Heku

"The same as last time, everyone that was trained by Hana versus everyone that was trained by Mikoto" Heku answered Mark

"Do we wear our uniforms or not?" David asked Heku

"Yes" both Mikoto and Hana answerd David

"Itachi are you and Neji playing this time?" Mini asked the two boys who were sitting on different tables

"No" both Itachi and Neji answered her

"Now before we leave, why don't all of you move the date of your game, I mean that because everyone rejected your petition they will be waiting for you, so how about tomorrow?" Mikoto said to everyone who immediately noded

"Alright then tomorrow we go to war," David said to everyone before they all walked out of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Naruto was happily showing Kushina around and he noticed that a lot of people were looking at him with wide eyes, but he figured that it must have been because Kushina had created a white coat that looked exactly like his.

The only difference was that while his coat was completely white hers has a red whirlpool drawn on the back of it.

He showed Kushina his favorite ramen shop, where the best place to hide away from people and just take in, the top of the heads of the Hokage mountain.

Aand finally Naruto unwillingly led Kushina as well as Ino and Shikamaru to the Senju Compound and they were immediately greeted by the smiling faces of the rest of the orphans that lived with him.

As Kushina watched Naruto interact with the rest of the children she couldn't help but genuinely smile, despite all of the children having some sort of uncontrol ability they were good kids.

She followed Naruto home and she watched as Naruto opened the front door to her surprise she was greeted by a Tsunade that looked as if she wasn't any older than seventeen.

Both Kushina and Naruto wouldn't be able to describe everything that had happened during their short time together as everything seemed to happen as if it was a dream.

Kushina watched enjoyed looking at the stunned expressions of both Tsunade and Jiraiya had and she listened to all three of the children tell Tunade of what had happened.

She couldn't understand why but she was happy to know that even if she wasn't around before Naruto had a place he could always belong to.

Soon everyone including their two guests was seated at the table and began to eat lunch and Kushina could sense the spirits are with their masters.

For a moment Kushina didn't understand why she thought that, after all, she is a spirit just like the ones with the other children.

She watched as the entire group arrived and greeted everyone before excusing themselves and running to their rooms.

Yet before they left Tsunade asked them what they were all doing, yet for whatever reason, they all answered.

"Nothing"

Kushina immediately noticed the expressions of the three adults, but she didn't say anything about it.

As the day passed, she watched both Shikamaru and Ino say goodbye and go home.

"Why does this all feel like a dream?" Kushina thought to herself as she laid down to sleep next to Naruto
][][]
Tsunade and Jiraiya listened to the elder toads report and she had to admit she was relieved to know that David wasn't planing anything serious, but her worries were far from gone.

The girl sleeping next to Naruto was, no is his mother Kushina but she looks exactly like when she was still just a kid.

"It seems that all of them can perform this technique but a price has to be paid," the elder toad said to them as he made an exact copy of the paper doll Mini had given to Naruto

"This is too dangerous for them to be using it randomly like this" Jiraiya said as he picked up the doll

A knock on the door caught their attention and they watched as Hinatas maid walked in.

'Sorry to interrupt, but David asked me to hand this to all of you" she said to them before leaving the roo

Tsunade- Jiraiya and Shizune opened the letters they were each handed and were instantly irritated, by what they read.

"My friends and I are going to have a contest, don't interfere unless everybody else does" were the words written underneath them were the names of the person who wrote the letter.

Shizune looked at the letter and couldn't help but smile at least they were being honest about what they were planing.

"Sorry to interrupt," a guard said as Fugaku stood behind him, yet Fugaku wasn't alone.

Standing next to him was Hiashi Hyuga, Hanas husband, accompanying both men were their guards.

"What's going on?" Tsunade asked them as she welcomed both men into her office

Fugaku took out a black plate and placed it in front of him and immediately Hiashi placed his hand on it, the moment his hand made contact with the plate it turned white.

"As you know your husband and his team will be competing against Mark and his team," Fugaku said to Tsunade

"Originally it was going to be a game of hide and seek, but there would be no way of knowing who won so, t prove which side wone, we decided that the team that manages to change the other teams color wins," Hiashi said to Tsunade

"No," Tsunade said to the two men who looked at her with confused expressions

"The last time both of your clans interfered it started a huge mess, I'm not blaming either of you, but you have to admit things got out of hand after it stopped being just Mikoto and Hana who were the only ones involved," Tsunade said to them

"Sounds like a good idea but, wouldn't it be easier if we just flipped our masks over," David said as he walked into the office.

"Sorry for interrupting," he said to everyone before picking up the plate

"You know she is right, sorry guys but I have to say no with both of your clans getting involve this time' he said to Hiashi and Fugaku

"Very well," Fugaku said before excusing himself

Hiashi just bowed and left after Fugaku left.

"Anyway, tomorrow my friends and I are going to have a contest, it's nothing important just something we always do. I just came here because I saw Fugaku and Hiashi coming in" David said to everyone in the room

"Waite, we have to talk about the summoning technique you used today," Jiraiya said to David who just looked at him

"You can't just use something like this" Tsunade said to David as she showed him the paper doll the elder toad made

"Sorry can't do that, we need to get it right," David said to them

"This alone can get you put away," Jiraiya said to David as he tried to make him see reason
"Why?' David asked Jiraiya

"Because it can bring back people that died years ago," Shizune said to Davi

"No it can't, the person that died is gone, what you are holding is something that remakes the person but without their memories"

"Think about it this way, you grow up, but you only knew nothing but pain"

"All of your experiences all of the powers and skills you had during that life stay with you and become a part of your instinct"

"So when the doll makes a new body for you all of your memories and connections to this world are gone, so you can have a fresh start" David explained to everyone how the doll works

"So when Mini gave Naruto the doll, she was aware he would summon someone related to him," the elder toad said to David

"No, we thought he would get that spirit that's inside him but in a form that he could control, I have no idea who that girl he summoned is"

"Maybe she is his sister or an aunt maybe even his mom who didn't leave the world because she was attached to him" David answered the elder toad

"Why did you make something like this?" Tsunade asked David

"I'm planing something, it's nothing dangerous, but it's something"

"By the way Tsunade where are our parents?" David asked Tsunade

"I sent them to look for the missing members of my clan" Tsunade answered David

"....So that's your choice," David said to Tsunade

"Shizune come here, I want to ask you a question, but I need you to stand in front of me for it," David said to Shizune

"If you have to choose between Mark and Tsunade who would you chose?" David asked Shizune who just looked at him with wide eyes

"Calm down I don't need to hear your answer," David said to Shizune before turning to look at Jiraiya

"What would you do if you could change one moment in your life, to go back and fix what went wrong, knowing everything about the world"

"Would you do it?"

"Would you go back and help your younger self get the girl? save someone that died? or would you try and stop someone you knew from becoming something awful?' he asked Jiraiya

"Let's say that we're together for years and we grow to care for each other like Fugaku and Mikoto, if I gave you the choice to use a perfect doll would you do it?"

"Will your bond with the one that was before me be stronger than your bond with the older me," David asked Tsunade

"You made your choice and I acted just like I said I would."

"And Tsunade I wouldn't hold that doll so freely if I were you because you might end up calling someone that already passed," David says to Tsunade before leaving the room

"Why did you say all of that?" Mark asked David

"Because I want to see what they will do' David said answered Mark as they walked back to their rooms

"Then I'll do something to muddy the waters," Mark said to David as his eyes began to glow with Flares presence

Inside the office, Tsunade was about to let go of the paper doll when it began to glow in her hand, immediately all of the spirits entered the room and Tsunade could barely believe what she was seeing.

She felt her eyes widen and her heart sink with a mixture of grief and joy.

"Tsunade" she heard her brother say to her

"A price has to be paid," Flare said to everyone as he reached for Nawaky

"No!" Tsunade screamed before graving her brother and bursting out of the room

"Why are you running?" Blade said to her as it flew beside her

"You want to take him" Tsunade cried\ answered Blade

"What we take is the life that was gone, not the life that was given," Flare said to her

Tsunade stopped running as the ground began to open in front of her and around her massive trees formed a cage.

"Look, he remembers how he died and how much it hurt, let him forget his pain and raise him as your brother," Innocentius said to her

"I can't," Tsunade said to them

"Why not?' Lili asked her

"Then you will have to pay, look at the boy."

"Do you see his pain?"

"Do you see his confusion?"

"Can you live with knowing that you took him away from the afterlife and took away his second chance at life?" Shadow asked Tsunade

"The world that is now, is not the same world that existed when he was first alive, can you keep him sane?" Tears asked her

"Tsunade" Nawaki held his sister and then reached out to the rest of the spirits who took a piece of his energy and gave it to Tsunade

Tsunade held her brother's unconscious body and looked at the spirits with desperation.

"A price has been paid, he will believe that a forbidden skill was used to keep him alive, it's up to you to maintain that lie"

"For trying to go back on the deal you made, now you must pay the price, our masters care for you, for they see you as one of them," the spirits said to Tsunade before vanishing

Tsunade walked back to the main house and ignored everyone that came out to see what was going on, she soon found Mark and David sitting on their usual spot with Ana and Hinata.

"I told you not to hold it like that" avid said to her as she walked past him

Tsunade walked past Shizune and Jiraiya and entered her oom and her brother tightly fearful that he might disappear if she were to let go.

Fugaku and Hiashi stood in front of one another, neither man spoke to the other, their wives might get along but they sure as hell didn't.

With them were various members of their clans, they were setting up a room for the two teams to play their little game in, normally neither of them would have bothered to go to this extent for a simple game, but their clans couldn't allow such an event to be treated as it was nothing.

When Heku asked them for help, he asked them as both the White Jaws leader and their student.

He didn't want his friends to get hurt, especially considering what had happened the last time, but the boy pointed out that no matter what they did, their teams were already being watched by the elders of the village.

So they came up with a plan, a simple yet complicated one.

The first phase would be, they would send letters to every clan asking them to allow their teams to use their territories for this game.

Everyone knew that none of those clans would accept, but they didn't have to, after all, they had placed the wrong date for the game on the letters that were delivered.

The next phase of their little plan was to get the entire team to be publicly seen discussing their game, something that went off without any problems.

Finally, the last part of the plan was simply setting up the room and letting the two teams play.

By this time Heku, Mikoto and Hana had already informed the two teams of the real date and what was being set up, so no one would interfere.

Normally a person would ask, why didn't the three clans just allow the children to play their game in their territories, the reason is simple.

Despite the White Jaws' friendly nature with both of their clans, they were still a part of another clan, and both the children and their spirits have an incredible amount of power that could destroy anything in the nearby area.
[][][
They all looked at each other, none of them wore their uniforms because this time they didn't need them, no they just wore their masks and everyday clothes.

If this was going to be a fair game then they would all start the same way, no powers no spirits nothing, t would be as if they were starting from the beginning again, just a bunch of kids having fun.

So they all took out the small pieces of paper that they always carried with them and recalled their spirits.

Up until now, none of them could control their chakra, so they had to use their spirits to help them, now they could only rely on the Mikotos mental training, Hana's physical training, and their teacher's lessons.

The game they're were about to play is a mixture of hide and go seek, with tag.

Everyone hides and everyone looks for each other, when one person from one team touches someone from another team they would flip their masks over and have to stay in place.

Now if someone from their team finds them, then they can flip the mask over and get back in the game, the game ends when one team manages to flip the other team's masks.

It's a game that's can last for hours and non of them expects anyone to win so it's just for fun.

They all looked at each other and began to look into each other's things making sure none of them forgot anything, when everyone was sure that no one was missing anything they all walked outside.

This was just between them, they knew that Mikoto's and Hanas clans would be watching but they didn't care this time because this time it was just a game between friends.

The third arrived at his office an Ambu had infirmed him that something was happening and he used the orb in his office to look at the village what he found was the Senju clan, along with both the Uchiha clan and Hyuga clan all setting up a barrier.

He was aware that the three clans were preparing themselves to have another competition between their students, but he knew that every other clan had rejected their petition.

He had assumed that they would have given up, but it now seems as if they decided to use the entire leaf except for the other clans' territories for their game.

He watched as the group of children walked out of the Senjuclans territory and stepped into the leaf, as of this moment they weren't a part of the world anymore, they were in a pocket dimension, where they wouldn't affect the world around them.

He watched as the children separated themselves into two different groups before scattering each one counting from twenty, back to one, yet the children weren't the only ones on the move, several Ambu had also entered the barrier, and for whatever reason, they looked as if they intended to interfere with this test.

That wasn't the only thing he noticed.

Why wasn't the entire Senju clan involved, for better or worse both boys and the girls are a part of the Senju clan.

Heku who is Jiraiya's son is a part of Jiraiya's clan, but as of this moment, they were the last two surviving members.

Which meant that Jiraiya had to be present for the game.

"Go and inform both Tsunade and Jiraiya" the third order one of his guards who instantly vanished from his office
][][][
"Lady Tsunade quickly wake up!" Tsunade heard someone knocking at her door, she had just had the strangest dream she dreamed that her brother had been brought back to life.

She opened her eyes she found herself holding onto her, her mind stopped working as she process what she was seeing, her brother was sleeping next to her.

"Lady Tsunade please urry, the game has already started" the woman called out to her

"Game what game?" Tsunade asked the woman

"That's right, the other clan denied David's request, he must have forgotten to tell you"

"Yesterday before the incident" the woman began and Tsunade finally remembered who the woman was, she was one of the maids that worked inside her souse

She quickly made her way to the door and opened it, to her surprise the woman wasn't alone, several Uchiha women were with her all holding different sets of clothes makeup, and hairbrushes.

'what?" Tsunade was about to ask when the group of women pulled her out of the door and pushed her to the bathroom

"They already started," the woman said to her

"Explain or I won't move' Tsunade said to the group and forced them all to stop as she planted her feet firmly on the floor

"When Davids's request was denied to have the rest of the clans become involved, he must have decided to go ahead and perform the games anyway."

"The two teams are already in the barrier, look" the woman pointed at the group of Uchiha and Hyuga clan members maintaining the barrier.

The group began to walk and as they reached the bath Tsunade found Shizune was already in it, with a group of women brushing her hair and mixing it with scented oils.

Tsunade didn't even have a chance to greet her apprentice when the group began to forcefully remove her clothes and began to make her presentable.

When they were done both Tsunade and Shizune found themselves looking at all of the orphans, as well as all of the people that worked on the farmland standing at the clan entrance watching the images of the kids either randomly walking around or trying to hid from someone that wasn't there.

It was quite the sight on the left was the Hyuga clan who proudly wore their clan's flam emblem on their backs.

While on the right were the Uchiha clan who proudly displayed their paper fans symbol for everyone to see, yet between them stood everyone tat served her and her family, dressed in their black clothes and wearing their white coats.

Tsunade sd Shizune walked up to an empty spot and found Jiraiya was already there but he wasn't alone. both Mikoto and Hana were seated with their husbands watching the game being played.

"An Ambu arrived at my house and told me about this, but when I got here, a group of Hyuga women forced me to put on better clothes," Jiraiya said to them as they looked at the way he was dressed.

Tsunade and Shizune sat down next to him and began to watch the game, from the corner of her eye Tsunade could see her brother looking at her, but stayed in his place alongside the rest of the children.

Unlike everyone else, he was wearing his uniform from the time when he died, but he wore a white trenchcoat and a mask that someone must have given him, so he could blend in.

As they watched Tsunade noticed that David was about to make contact with someone, but it wasn't a member of the other team no this was a member of the Ambu corp
][][]
"What are you doing here?" David asked the Ambu a the man stared at him

David dint even have time to process what was happening when Innocenious flew out of nowhere and pulled him back, David found himself staring at several Kunai stuck to the ground where he was standing just seconds ago.

Ana smiled she managed to make it this long without being found, normally when they play tag she's the first one that gets caught, but that wasn't the case this time.

Her smile quickly vanished as she found herself looking at a woman dressed in a strange uniform.

"What's going on?"

"Is the game over?" she asked the woman who immediately charged at her

"Lilli!" Ana screamed in fear as she put her hands up and tried to use them as some form of protection

Lilli spouted from the ground and charged at the woman.
][]
"What's going on?" Tsunade asked Mikoto and Hana who looked just as confused as she was

"Someone is taking advantage of the game to target them' Fugaku answered her

"Bring the barrier down" Fugaku orderd

"We cant"

"As long as the barrier is up, both the Ambu and the kids are trapped inside, our best option is to send guards in and capture the assassins before they can get away" Hiashi answered Fugaku
][][]
"So they finally decided to do it," David said as he looked at the masked man in front of him

He couldn't see the man's face other than this military-like vest and cat mask, there was nothing that made the man stand out.

"Roar!" Innocentius screamed in pain before vanishing

"We know your weakness, now you don't have your spirit to protect you," The man said to David as he showed him a piece of paper

David smirked. "To bad for you, he wasn't my only trick," David said to the man as he reached into his pocket

The ninja quickly moved and was forced to dodge a long katana that was being held by an old man dressed in the same clothes that the Senju clan now wore.

"Lilli!" Ana screamed in horror as Lilli was being dragged into a piece of paper that the woman held in her hands

Before Lilli was stolen from her, she reached into her pocket and found one of the paper dolls Heku had given her

She gasped for air as she held on to the doll with both hands and called for someone anyone to help her.

Her eyes widened in terror when she found the woman's eyes looking at her, as she was about to stave her, with her dagger, but the woman was quickly blown away by a flood of flower petals.

"Get away from my master," a man said to the woman
as he held Ana in his hands

"Lilli?" Ana said to the man who just smiled warmly at her

"No, but I know her," the man said to Ana before returning his attention to the woman
][][
The third and the rest of the council arrived at the Senju clan's territory and watched as the events unfolded, they knew that the kids had developed several new techniques but to be able to summon human spirits like these.

"What's the meaning of this?" Tsunade demanded the moment she saw them

"I don't know" the third answered his old student

"Everyone can you hear me," David said with his eyes cloths

"It looks like they finally decided to kill us, they stole Innocentious from me, so its better if you guys call someone else to help from now on," David said to everyone in the game

"Okay then games over" Mark aid

'No, they're just new players, it's not our fault if they die" Heku answered Mark

'I need your help" Heku said as he took out a paper doll and showed it to an Ambu that was watching him from a nearby building

"So its war" Sonia said as she summoned a large man with spiky hair

 

[blueayes]

"How are they communicating with each other?" the third said out loud but no one answered

He noticed that the people from the village were starting to gather before realizing what was going on.

Normally everyone would have been told to go back to doing what they normally did, but this was an event where more than one clan was involved, so it was normal for everyone to gather and watch.
[][[]
"So we're doing this" mark said to himself as he summoned Flare to cover him while he called someone to help him

As a how echoed through the village sending chills down everyone's spines as a devil that wore a white mask stood in front of Mark/

"No killing" Mark ordered his servant, and in an instant Flare blocked the white devil's black sword from killing Mark

"I guess it can't be helped," Mark said as he unrolled his scroll and brought out one of the swords Mikoto had given him.

"I'm your master and you are my servants," Mark said to the devil whose ski was as white as paper and wore the white mask that had the longhorns on its head.

The creature charged at Mark but Flare forced it back, but before the fight could progress Mar attacked something to his sword forcing the creature into it.

The creature howled and tried to escape, but its attempts to escape were pointless, for it was forced into the sword.

"Lats go Flare," Mark said to Flare as he started to walk

Flare growled at Marks side

"What no, why do you want to e put in one of these things?" Mark asked flare who just growled at him again

"What do you mean, why does he get his own room and I don't?"

"This is supposed to be a punishment," Mark said to Flare but to everyone watching the two it seemed as the light spirit rolled its eyes at Mark.

Maria felt the sweat roll down her forehead and her nose before dropping off, she didn't have time to recall her spirit the ninja had just attacked her and before she could react, her spirit protected her before it was sealed away.

It had taken everything she had to dodge the ninja's attacks, but getting tired, she needed to summon something, anything but she could barely move anymore.

She reached for the paper doll in her pocket but just as she was bout to summon someone, the ninja staved her and she felt herself fall to the ground.

The Ambu began to search through Maria's clothes until he found what he was looking for, the piece of paper that had control of the spirit that was always under Maria's control.

The sound of someone clapping made the Ambu put up his guard but it was already too late, he looked down and found that Maria's body was gone, not only that but both the girl's sal and the seal he used were gone.

"I suggest we forfeit this game master," Aizen said to Maria as he carried her past the Ambu that was still standing in place

"We can't lose, everyone is counting on us," Mari said to Aizen who began to walk as if he was walking on invisible stairs

"If you don't want to quit, then let us watch the others fight and help only if they need our help," Aizen said to Maria

Mini tried to hold back her tear, Blade was gone and now a crazy woman was trying to kill her, but her chains kept on coming out, so the evil woman couldn't kill her

She tried to call her friends for help, but every time she tried her chains would come out and the woman wearing the monkey mask would find her.

Mini gasped for air and then she remembered the doll Ana had given her, she took it out of her pocket and held it tightly in her hands.

"Nice try but play is times over," the woman said to her and as she walked up to Mini, Mini closed her eyes, hoping to nat have to see what the woman was going to do to her.

Then she opened her eyes and she found a man wearing a long white coat holding the corpse of the woman in his hands.

The man threw the woman's body away before kneeling in front of Mini.

"Sorry I was late, but you were holding on to me pretty tightly, Master, now what do you say if we leave this death trip, after all, someone clearly wants you and your friends dead," Anderson said to Mini

Mini watched as the man picked up both sheets of paper before handing them to her.

Mini immediately tore the one that the woman had used to seal away Blad and in a gust of wind Blade returned to her side.

Blade oared but when it saw that the woman was dead, he just growled.

'Piedown will ya, I mean I did your job, so the one that should be yelling is me" Andeson said to Blade

"Grow" Blade answered Anderson

"Oh yeah, well you and what army' Anderson answered Blade

Mini watched as the two argued with each other, she couldn't help but smile before laughing, they were just like her and her friends.

"Let's go find everyone and go home," she said to her spirits who immediately put themselves in front of her.

Tsunade could see sever Hyuga and Uchiha walk into the barrier and quickly make their way towards the intruder that was still standing looking at nothing.

Whatever Genjutsu was used n him must have been a powerful one, because the difference in skill and power between Maria and her would-be killer was enormous.

Yet she knew that the men that were at the kid's sides weren't reliant on the kid's current level of skill, which meant that whatever plans made before the kids managed to summon these spirits had gone out the window, the moment the kids managed to summon them.

Tsunade briefly turned her attention towards the elders, any one of them could have given the order, no she couldn't rule out the fact that they all could have all been in agreement to this.

She watched a the Ambu was brought out of the barrier and the corps of the one that had attacked Mini was carried out of the barrier.
Tsunade was about to turn her attention back to what was happening in the game when she noticed Hinata and her nanny sitting not too far away from her.

The girl was separated from the rest of the Hyuga but she was still wearing her clan's uniform with its emblem, but she wore the mask everyone inside the barrier was wearing at the moment.

Not only that but for whatever reason, the girl's nanny was wearing the white coat that was now recognized by everyone as a part of her clan's uniform, but on the top right corner was the Hyugaclan's emblem.

For a moment Tsunade questioned herself, why did she feel so irritated, at the sight of both the girl and the woman, after all both Neji and Itachi were wearing their masks over their uniforms.

She knew that they were both members of David's team, even though both of their clans were keeping both boys away from the white jaws at the moment.

"Ahhhh!" the Ambu in front of David screamed as the old man in front of the Ambu looked at the man as if he was trash

"Give him back and you can live," David said to the Ambu as the look in the old man's eyes quickly calmed

The Ambu gasped for air and he acted as if he was about to hand over the seal before his body flicked out of existence.

The man didn't even have time to scream as he was burned alive, even as he was still in the air,

Tsunade watched as the man's burned corpse fell onto the ground and Innocentious screamed with rage the moment he was freed from the seal.

"You failed our master," Yamamoto said to Innocentius but the only answer the old man received was a punch from the fire spirit, which he blocked with his sword.

"Stop" David calmly said to his two spirits who immediately turned to look at him

"I quit," David said to his two spirits and Tsunadeimediatly heard everyone including the civilians and members of other clans that had gathered to watch the show begin to murmur with each other.

"Mater?" Yamamoto said to David

'Why?" Innocentius growled

'This is all wrong, we were supposed to go back and be regular kids, no ninjas, no clans, just us"

"I know I told everyone to summons someone else to help them, but that was just so they could protect themselves, but we weren't supposed to do this" David said to his spirits as he pointed at his would-be killer's corps

"Have you forgotten?" Innocentius growled

Yamamoto walked up to David and placed a hand on David's shoulder.

"A lot of weight was placed on your shoulders, but as clan head, it's your job to carry that weight," Yamamoto said to David

'I'm not the Senju" David began to say to Yamamoto

'I'm not speaking of the Senju, I'm speaking of your friends. They have followed you long before they....you were brought into those clans'

"Heku might be the current leader, but you are this teams head, you can't quite not until they do," Yamamoto said to David

"Innocentius, Yamamoto, I'm leader right?" David asked them
"Yes, no' both spirits answered David

"You are the head of this group, but Heku is the leader, whatever your planing has to be agreed upon by him," Yamamoto said to David

"...Okay let's go find Heku and tell him that we need to bring down the barrier unless a member of each team agrees the people outside won't do it," David said to his spirits as he began to walk in front of them

Tsunade watched as Davis led his spirits away from their last kill, yet when the image turned to the image of Heku Tsunde noticed how both boys led their spirits, while David led his spirits, Heku stood side by side with his.

"Interesting," the Third said as he watched the ongoing events

"What do you mean?" Mikoto asked the third

"The way both spirits react to the children" the third answered Mikoto, as he watched Sonia walk deeper and deeper into the empty village

He watched as Tears had wrapped itself around Sonia, covering her from head to toe, as it tried to shield her from danger, while the man Sonia had summoned walked in front of her, leading her away from danger.

Most of the would-be killers had either fled or been killed with relative ease by the hands of the spirits, even as they watched the game being played both the Uchiha and the Hyuga were already locating the ones that fled.

That just left finding the ones responsible for this attack and holding them accountable, not to mention David's announcement that he was no longer the Senju clan's head.

The announcement itself wasn't a surprise to anyone, after all, everyone expected Tsunade to take control of the clan as soon as she arrived.

Everyone outside of the Senju clan that is, from the looks of it, not everyone wearing the new uniform had gotten the message.

The Third watched as Mark found himself reaching Mini, neither of them said or did anything except walk past one another.

'Are you okay with this?" Alexander Anderson asked Mini

"Arent your friends counting on you?" Anderson asked Mini

"But Marks is my friend" Mini protested

Anderson leaned down as he walked behind Mini, before giving her a wide smile that showed his fang-covered mouth.

'That he is, but this is a game, and right now he is the enemy" Anderson said to mini

The Third watched as he noticed that Blad let out a small grow and stopped moving, before immediately turning back and heading towards the direction Mark had gone.

"What's it going to be master, will you abandon Blade and quite the game or will you fight Mark and beat him?" Anderson asked Mini

Everyone watched as mini began to cry, but she didn't let out a sound, she just turned around and ran to Blade's side.
][]
Andeson put a cigar to his mouth before lighting it, taking in a deep breath and turning to look at the sky.

"How long are the two of you going to stay up there? Are you just going to watch as everyone kills each other or are you going to join in the fun?" Anderson said to Maria and Aizen

Everyone watched as bible pages began to fly around Anderson and only stopped when the man had completely disappeared.

Mini stopped running when she found Blade floating towards Mark, he didn't make a sound, but he was being careful so that neither Flare nor Mark noticed him.

"Blade," Mini said to her spirit, and Blade immediately piked her up and carried her to his side

Mini knew that she didn't have to give either of her spirits orders they knew what she wanted, just like she knew that they wanted.

Both Mini and Blade waited for Anderson to do whatever he was planning to do

"Now!| Anderson screamed as he swung his bayonet towards Mark's neck only for Flare to stop his attack, it was at that moment that Blade flew towards Mrk but something grew out of Mark's sword and attacked Blade.

Mini took this moment to run towards Mark and just as she was about to reach his mask, she found herself wrapped in paper before finding herself standing bac where she was floating.

"I always thought, that you were the only one I could count on to neer fight anyone in our group Mini," Mark said to Mini as he stood on the other side of a smoking crater

"Mini!" Ana screamed as she saw Mini and Mark fighting each other

"You can't beat him," Ana said to Mini, after all, she had seen Mark and David train

'I'm not running away" Mini said to Ana

"Who said anything about running away," Ana said to Mini as flower petals began to cover the battlefield, and in an instant, they all flew towards Mark

Both spirits fired energy shots at the flower petals, but as the smoke cleared Lilli grew out of the ground and was about to touch marks mask, when a green spear flew towards her

Ana and mini watched as the shadows around them grew darker and Shadow emerged from them, Heku stood with him.

"Hey need some help?" Heku asked Mark

"No I got this" Mark said to Heku but his eyes were locked on Ana

 

[blueayes]

Hiashi and Fugaku looked at each other through the corner of their eyes it was nearly time for faze three, neither of them knew what rules the game had so they had to rely on the only people that knew them.

So that meant asking Itachi- Nenji- Hinata and Heku, thankfully none of the kids gave them an answer that contradicted what the other said to them.

Phase three was the easiest part, they just had to wait for all of the kids to find each other and end the game without anyone winning.

It would be a result that no one, not even the kids playing would like but in the end, it would be the outcome that left them in a better position than if any of the teams lost.

"Now," Maria said to Aizen as she noticed that David

Aizen flew towards David but before he could touch David's mask, the old man that was with him created a wall of fire that stopped Aizen.

Innocentius roared and flew towards her but before he was able to burn her a tornado of water fell from the sky saving her from Innocentius's attack.

Fugaku and Hiashi noticed that both Neji and Itachi began to look at a pair of stopwatches that they had.

They watched as both groups of kids stared each other down, but before they could attack both Neji and Itachi announced.

Time has run out, everyone you know the rules once both teams find each other and no one has their masks changed the game ends in a tie!"

Everyone watched as all of the kids immediately dropped their guards and began to laugh, it was over and no one could argue about the results.

The members of the Hyuga clan and Uchiha clan roped the barrier and allowed the kids to return to the normal world, no one said anything about the people that died.

As far as anyone was concerned they were just things made to give the kids someone to fight during their tests.

David sat on the stone street and looked at Sonia and Maria who stood over him with their spirits.

"Man that got out of hand," he said to them but neither the girls nor their spirits looked happy

'I was going to beat you" Maria said to him

"Nop, I was going to hit him first," Sonia said to him before they all started laughing.

Heku- Mini- Mark and Ana were doing the same thing as their friends before they began to walk back to the Senju Clans' territory, as far as they were concerned it was over.

Tsunade now had control of her clan, now that Heku was the leader neither Mark nor David could be forced to do anything by the village elders and they could all go back to being kids.

The group of friends soon found David and his group sitting on the ground and as they all walked back they found that most of the village had gathered to watch the show, none of the people that had gathered were happy but they didn't care about that.

They just wanted to go home get something to eat and take a good bath.

 

[blueayes]

][][]\
Hiashi and Fugaku smirked they knew that both the elders and the spectators wouldn't like the results, but they had been told about the kid's game and refused to take part in it.

Granted that their refusal was part of their plan, but that didn't matter.

Their clan and their wives had removed whatever stains they had, it had been because of their clan's interference that things had gotten out of hand.

So with this little show, everything had been set back to zero, with Tsunade back, David- Mark, and Ana were no longer in charge or had any control of the Senju clan.

The fact that Heku was now the leader of the White Jaws meant that the team didn't exist anymore, because both David and Mark were written as the official leaders and neither of them held their old positions anymore.

With the rest of the kids entering the Senju's school, they would be safe from those that wanted to harm them.

So in the end everything had gone back to the way it was, mostly, Tsunade and Jiraiya would have to deal with the kids summoning skills but that was their problem.

As far as Fugaku and Hiashi were concerned they had done what they set out to due, whatever happens from now on won't have anything to do with them or their clans.

The group of friends watched as the crowd of people left and they walked back in undisturbed, both the Uchiha and the Hyuga clans had left and the only ones that remained were the ones that lived in the Senju's territory.

Mini was the first to stop walking before falling down and laying on the cool dirt, Ana followed her lead, then Maria- and Sonia the girls didn't care if their friends did the same they were just glad that Hekus's plan worked.

They all began to hear Mark begin to laugh his voice was soon joined by Heku's, then finally David's, and then they all began to laugh together, slowly they all stopped laughing and just looked at the blue sky.

It was over, no more White Jaws, no more paperwork, no more living in different places for now and now they could all finally stop and enjoy their lives........
