Before went inside, Tsukiho put her oversized sword inside the scabbard and hugged it like it is a precious treasure.
Tsumiki looked at his daughter with a hint of amusement. He felt it is really fun to watch how his daughter handle a sword that even bigger than her. He also understood without she is being an Uzumaki, she can't even lift it. Seeing the similarities of mother and daughter, he felt his world became more colourful as he picked Tsukiho up.
Tsukiho looked at her mother who was teaching to her shadow clones as she correcting her calligraphy. While her grandmother was teaching another shadow clone about kenjutsu.
"I'm home." He placed Tsukiho's sword on the rack.
Yuna looked at them and smiled gently. "Welcome home"
"Then let's call it a day" Naori also put the wooden sword away.
"Hmm after spending more than a week she started to gasp the basic. That's enough for now. Let's start real things from tomorrow." A merciless grin appeared on her face as she started chuckling at father and daughter duo. Both of them started to feeling the chill going down their spines. Both started to tremble while hugging each other.
"Mom is scary" Tsukiho close her eyes with her hands but soon she started to look at her through the spaces between the fingers.
"Hahaha" Naori laughed at the little girl's antics.
She lived almost two decades in her previous life, at young age she forced to grew up just to survive like now. But unlike her previous life, she felt she wholeheartedly like the way of her current life to the point she sometimes behave like a actual child. She guessed this because of the whole family loves her, even ruthless Madara.
Though Natalia lacked family love, she had plenty of love in the orphanage but after she joined the intel department of military in order to protect orphanage, she became more like a machine who killed before get killed. She had to abandoned her emotions in the early stages of training. So she understood that she had been given a chance to become a child again. Maybe after her rebirth she really became a child. Who knows?
She relearned the happiness by how to enjoy the family love, sometimes even the sadness by seeing Madara was deceived to go on a darker path for the peace that he believed in. From her grandmother she learned how to love the beautiful world that she living in. As well as the cruelty of war had done to her mother's country.
Yuna told about the stories about heroes who lived in here. She slowly started to admire them as she understood them. In her previous life, even though she lived a harsh life in military, she was able to understand the reason for that. She loved her country very much even until her death. That is also one of reasons why she gave up her life to kill Noel.
Sometimes she asked from her father and grandmother about Hidden Leaf village as she knew sooner or later she had to live in there. In the anime she had a good impression of the hidden leaf village though they bullied and discriminated Naruto as she knew there was many reasons behind that discrimination. Except for Danzo and those discrimination acts, she felt that place is something worth to protect as in the anime she saw many people gave up their lives for the village.
Her grandmother Naori was someone who lived before the founding of the village. She told her many stories about how her father and first Hokage fight for their ideals and how Madara changed after uncle Izuna's death. And how the village found. In the anime there wasn't much details about the Warring States era. So she fascinated about the piller era of all the hidden villages. Then how the village that Madara named grew up to the current point. Hearing those stories, Tsukiho felt like something inside her fired up. She understood that isn't some kind of impulse or whatever like that. At that time she knew Hidden Leaf village will be a place that she can call home like her previous country.
"Ok little one, let's stop from here. I'm going to make the dinner. Shoko come with me." After teasing father and daughter duo Yuna smiled happily and went to kitchen.
Tsukiho saw her mom letting go of her shadow clones. So she released them all at ones. A lot of information and techniques started to fill her brain along with a heavy tiredness. Her body started to aching all over.
Seeing her groggy face Tsumiki softly pinch her cheek. "Let's get a wash little one. Then we can have dinner."
Hearing about the dinner Tsukiho's face brighten up. Then she get away from father's hands and sprint towards the small lake near her home.
She took off her outer clothes and jumped in to the lake.
Sitting in the water, she slowly submerged her head into the water. After about thirty seconds she got her head out from the water. Then she took two large breath for fifteen seconds and exhaled it. And then she submerged ger head again. She repeated this for ten times. After that she sat in the lake with lotus position then she slowly inhaled and exhaled as she concentrate on her breathing pattern.
Her heart started to slowly calm down and the fatigue from the shadow clones slowly started to disperse. Her tensed muscles slowly started to relax as her chakra rotating thorough out her chakra pathway system even without her guidance. As an Uzumaki her chakra control is better than a normal shinobi. After sometimes she felt her chakra almost restored and also understood her chakra reserve were slowly growing too.
She came to a conclusion after seeing the growth of her chakra reserve. If she pushed her chakra and physical strength to a certain limit chakra will started increase in her body. She understood that everyone have chakra even the civilians who can't use chakra. Otherwise why did Kaguya turn many humans into white Zetsu to obtain the chakra fruit? So she guessed there was a connection between physical strength and chakra reserve.
After awhile in the water, she rose to her feet and started to drying herself. She quickly started to wear the new short kimono before wear the pants that reach slightly below her knees. Then she slowly started to dry her short red hair. Looking at her image shows from the water she slightly smiled as her image is still same as her previous life. She remembered she was exactly look like this in her childhood photos.
'So I didn't change at all. Seriously am I really looked like second great Granduncle Izuna? I guess I have to wait and see until Sasuke's birth. Great grandfather was mentioned Sasuke was looked like second great granduncle' She furrowed her brows.
She knew her soul belongs to here from the begin with, so she didn't want to treat them as some fictional characters. She understood everyone in this world are living, breathing people who felt complex emotions like the people in her previous life. Her mother, father, grandmother, great grandfather and even her aunt in the Konoha, she really cared the well being of all of them from the bottom of her heart.
"Sweetie, the dinner is ready. Let's go before it get cold. You know Mom will get angry if you come late." She heard grandma calling her.
"Coming grandma" picking up the old clothes, she ran towards Naori.
After the dinner Tsukiho took a walk with Naori. "Sweetie, what do you think about Hidden Leaf village?"
"Grandma and father came from there, so it should be a nice place. And Hokages are very amazing and wise people. One day I will go there too. And I want to see the clan grandma Mito went to. Grandma are the people in the village same as you?" Naori knew because of the mind eye of Kagura Tsukiho can understand the feelings and nature of the people.
"Hmm, I guess most of them. Villagers are very kind hearted people. Third Hokage is very wise and kind person." She smiled as Tsukiho figure out what she hint.
"Like ruler like people" Tsukiho thoughtfully muttered which make Naori burst into laughter.
"Who said that?"
"Mom said that. Is that wrong?" She looked at the grandmother curiously.
"No, actually it is correct. Most of Villagers are very bright and so welcoming people. You will know once you see them." She caressed the tiny girl's head. "Tomorrow I am going to Hidden Leaf village. Wanna come with me?" Naori asked with a mischievous expression.
"I want grandma. I want to see the your clan too" she smiled brightly.
