Chapter 7 - Hidden Leaf Village

"Sweetie, come here we have to go now?" Naori call Tsukiho.

"I am coming grandma" Tsukiho came out after wearing cream colour short kimono and short and black ninja boots to cover her tiny legs. She looked at the mirror helplessly. As an one year old child she still very short and tiny.

She put her storage scrolls in to her small backpack while hung another scroll on her waist. And made some shadow clones in the room before leaving and then she jumped in to grandmother's arms.

"Mom is this going to be OK?" Tsumiki asked seriously. "Don't you know Danzo?"

"He won't be in the village for two weeks. He went to the front line in Iwa." Naori smiled.

"Tell Kushina I missed her" Yuna smiled at her.

"Bye Mom, Bye dad" she waved her hands.

"Bye sweetie, take care." Both of them waved hands. "I heard your aunt Kushina was addicted to ramen. Don't eat those stuff too much ya know!"

Hearing a verbal tick from mom for the first time Tsukiho sweated. 'It shouldn't be genetic? Isn't it?'

At that moment Naori teleport away from the country of Whirlpool

Near the main entrance of hidden leaf village two people suddenly appeared.

Tsukiho looked at her grandmother with a worried gaze. 'Her half of chakra was gone'

"It's OK sweetie. No big deal" she caressed the little girl's hair softly. Then again both of them disappeared.

A plume of white smoke filled the air as the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe. He was flipping over some paperwork when the two figures suddenly appear in front of the table.

"Lady Naori, you returned." He said with a deep and tired voice as he gently placed the paperwork to the side and straightened his back in his chair while looking at the two people in front of him.

The third Hokage gave a surprised look as he saw a very small girl who was next to the old lady. The girl also looked at him with eyes filled with curiosity.

"This child?" He put the pipe down.

"She is my granddaughter Tsukiho Uchiha." Naori smiled lightly. "May be in the future you can say Tsukiho Uzumaki"

"Grandpa, could you be the third hokage?" The girl asked politely.

The girl who appeared with Naori was none other than Tsukiho. At the first she was startled when she appeared in an office. After looking around for a moment she realised she was in the hokage's office. And she was surprised that hokage believed her grandmother who is the daughter of Madara to the extent he let her to place the seal formula of the flying thunder god technique in here.

"Haha I guess that I am that old to call call Grandpa. Hmm I am the third hokage indeed. Little one, how old are you?" Hiruzen smiled.

"I'm one year old" she showed her index finger.

Hearing her answer Hiruzen stunned. 'One year old but her chakra already at the level of Chunin. Uchiha and Uzumaki genes definitely gave birth to a genius. Maybe in the future she would be the hope to merge Uchiha clan with village.' Seeing Tsukiho he started to keep hopes for future.

Hokage office looked like just another place that the working line belongs to administration of management. On the surface it looked like an unsecured place. But thanks to her sensory ability, she sensed a lot of chakra signatures that was around here in a certain formation. She wasn't surprised about that because hokage need to deal with various situations in the dark as well as anbu work.

"So Princess Yuna finally started to open up. It's a good thing. Kushina is always come here to ask about her" Hiruzen shivered remembering Kushina's tantrums.

"I'll look for her. Lord third, in the future Tsukiho will also settle in Konoha. So can I ask about citizenship?" Naori slightly bow to Hiruzen.

"Raise you head Lady Naori. There is no need for you to do that. She is an Uchiha from the main line, the one of main founding clan of the Hidden leaf village. At the same time she is an Uzumaki princess from patriarch Ashina's line, an ally of the village and Senju clan. So it is natural to become a citizen in the hidden leaf village." The hokage mused thoughtfully as he stroked his beard.

"Then Lord third, I'll take my leave" Naori saluted and turn around. Then took the Tsukiho who looking at third hokage curiously. Naori saw this and held back her laughter as she was still in hokage's presence.

She carried Tsukiho in her arms as she brought her out from hokage building to look for the Kushina's place. Before went there Naori let her to see the glimpse of some spots in town. The children park, the hokage rock, the training ground and academy. Tsukiho met many people when looking at those places and her eyes brighten up as she come to realise something. Her mind eye of Kagura let her see the people's chakra. Because it related to people's real personalities and the emotions they currently have, she could clearly see which person is good or bad.

The most of people had very warm and welcoming chakra. Which made her to brighten up her mood. And figure out why Naruto was able to forgive those people who bullied him. And why they did to him. It wasn't because Naruto is some evil being. It was because nine tail rampage made them to lose their loved ones. So they first started to fear Naruto and thought he was the fox in human form thanks to the rumours that spread by Danzo. Then she remembered how they started to slowly accept Naruto, they even protect him in their ways when the Pain attacked Leaf village. She realised the darkness of this village is lesser than she thought.

It gave her a sense of belonging. Their warm aura made her to feel like she is also one of them. As someone who lived like a machine without much emotions, this village feel like a paradise. For some reasons she felt very safe in the village.

She unconsciously had a faint and sweet smile on her face as her charcoal eyes were shining brightly. Naori noticed her change very quickly as her gaze became softer than usual.

"Happy?"

"Mmm" she unconsciously answered.

"Well then let's go to see your aunt Kushina" she messed her red hair.

They walked for a quite awhile before came near the Senju compound. Next to the compound, there was a remote mountain side. On a mountain there is a mansion stands alone. "Grandma is this Aunt Kushina's home? Will aunt like me grandma?" There was a nervousness in her tone.

"Haha" she smiled softly. "Sweetie, why not go and see for yourself?"
