After a while two of them left the training ground. Tsukiho looked behind and saw the white spiky haired ponytail is following them. Before saying anything, he called them first.
"What is the situation in the country of Whirlpools?" He asked.
Naori stopped for awhile so he could keep up with her. "Not that good."
"It seems rumours are true. The jinchuriki of four tails isn't in a good condition" Jiraiya frowned.
Hearing about three tails, Tsukiho also started to listen.
"Land of lightning placed a seal on him. So they couldn't access to its power. I guess it is karma" Naori showed a rare angry expression.
"You don't like them?" Jiraiya sighed.
"Who like those schemers. They are the root cause of the destruction in Country of Whirlpools. They took hundreds of lives just to get their hands on those techniques and just to provoke land of fire" Naori tightly hold Tsukiho close to her.
"They lay hands on her too?" Jiraiya frowned.
"Danzo starts to lay hands on your students. You should have brought them here." Naori changed the topic after stopping at a guard point.
"I don't have power to do that, thank for the warning. I guess Danzo still don't know about her existence." He signalled Tsukiho from his eyes.
"I got a promise from third hokage. So he wouldn't know about her until she would settle down in here." She sighed. "I don't think you want to come inside of the compound. Do you Jiraiya?" She smiled.
"No, I rather not." He stopped but Naori took her step forward.
"Bye, Sage toad, see ya later" Tsukiho shouted out loud.
He sighed before waving his hand.
Tsukiho recognised the Uchiha crest in front of the compound before entering. She remembered in the anime, this compound destroyed during the nine tails attack.
After entering, the first building she saw is the police station. It is an isolated building as she walked past it saw many houses and some shops. Then she saw the park near a huge lake and the other side of the lake is a huge forest. She remembered the stories her father told her and recognised this place is their training ground. She saw the wooden bridge towards the middle of the lake and assumed it is the place the kids practice fireball jutsu.
Then her grandma stopped near a slightly large house near the lake. She saw a stern looking man was waiting in front of the house.
"Lady Naori" he greeted her.
"Clan head Fugaku" she greeted back.
"I hope clan leader doesn't mind if I stay here for one day." Naori asked.
"It is an honour lady Naori. Come inside " he step aside to let them enter.
"This should be Tsumiki's daughter right?" Fugaku looked at Tsukiho carefully.
"Yes, she is" Naori put her down as she read her mind.
"Greeting clan head" Tsukiho said while slightly bowing her head.
Seeing she is talking fluently and the intelligent look on her eyes, made him taken aback. "Actually no need to bow. Though we didn't discriminate like Hyuga clan, you came from main line. So little one you don't need to bow to anyone, even to clanhead. Understand? Just call me uncle."
Tsukiho slowly nodded her head. "Understood uncle"
"By the way you look really small to your age. I also have a son who is only little smaller than you. He is only one year old. But very intelligent despite that" He bragged little about his son.
"Actually I am little older than your son I think. What is his name?" She asked.
"Itachi, Itachi Uchiha. May be you can be a big sister for him. How about that?" He had a rare smile on his face.
"Be a big sister" her eyes widened genuinely. "So that's mean I have a little brother! I am glad to be one uncle"
Tsukiho saw a beautiful woman with straight black hair is coming to them with a tea pot. There is a little boy was following her to them. She started to fill her grandma teacup first before filling Fugaku's. Then she finally have a understanding about grandma and father's position in the clan. Though they didn't become a clanhead. Even clan head have to respect them.
'In this way, I'll have a way to stop the coup. If it didn't work and situation worsened, at that time I'll be strong enough to beat them. So I beat them up and bring them to country of whirlpool until the forth great ninja war.'
She looked at the woman who was trying to fill her teacup. But Naori stopped her. "I'm afraid that she still not in the age to drink tea. Sorry about inconvenience."
"It's ok." Then the woman gently smiled. "Then how about milk" then she saw Naori nod her head to say it can be. And then she went out.
Tsukiho saw the little boy slowly walked towards his father and sat beside him and facing her. She looked at his onyx eyes. And saw it filled with curiosity. Despite having so many judgements against him, she didn't feel like placing the blame about future him on current him. So she gave a bright smile. "From now on you will be my little brother"
Understanding what she said the boy is stunned. "Little brother"
"Yes, call me big sister" she grinned.
"Bi...g sister" he said while smiling.
"Yes that's right. I'm your big sister and you are my little brother." She patted his head.
"Actually how old she?" Fugaku asked.
"She is just one year old actually" she cough to hide the awkwardness.
"Oh" Fugaku looked at her for a second to to digest what she said. "What?! No way! I thought Itachi is already monstrous. But this..... I don't know what to say"
"She is a rare gem. That's what I have to say." Naori took a sip from the tea.
"Yes, children are very precious treasures" the black haired woman came back with a milk pot and pour two cups for Tsukiho and Itachi.
"Thanks Aunty" Tsukiho smiled. "Sorry for the trouble"
"It's ok baby" she said in a sweet voice as it made Tsukiho blush.
"It's been a long time little Mikoto" Naori looked at the woman with a tender expression.
"Since I know your name let me introduce my self to you, I'm Tsukiho, Tsukiho Uchiha. But you are my little brother so you have to call me big sister alright?" She pointed a finger to herself.
"Ok big sister" he smiled.
