Chapter 26 - Possibilities

She felt incredibly happy as she got it in first time. She looked at the other two. Both of them didn't show any surprise as they expected it.

"Don't be surprised sweetie" Naori smiled. "You have learned many jutsu from the D rank to B rank. So your basics are very solid almost than anyone. So it is not surprising to do that in first time. You only took few months to learned those is very surprising though" she smiled.

"I don't think it is very surprising, isn't it little devil?" The old Madara raised an eyebrow while the young one merged with floor once again. "It is nothing compared to her intelligence. Multi shadow clone jutsu"

Tsukiho nodded with a blush. "When I training with clones and after releasing it, I will get the memories and training experiences of them" she shyly said.

"She should thank for her Uzumaki physique otherwise she would be dead now" he snorted.

"I have already thanked mom" she muttered, making Madara to twitch his lips.

"I know about that father" Naori chuckled. "I even taught kenjutsu to her clones"

"It really make me look forward for her growth" he sighed.

"Great grandfather can you tell me more about uncle Izuna?" She sat beside him again.

"You resembles him very much." Madara pause to look at Tsukiho who was listening to him very curiously. "He is kind, playful yet strict when needed and very devoted. He loved the clan very much more than me. And very protective over the clan. He is a very amazing person, a little monster like you" he chuckled while rubbing the place between her brows.

Tsukiho's eyes widened realising he is chuckling. "And very stubborn as hell"

"Oh..."

"So you know that too" he smirked.

"Why not?" She smirked back. Then she felt the shadow clones in the home was released by her mother as she felt the memories and pain coming to her.

"Grandma bad news! Mom said if we didn't come home within thirty minutes. She will demolish the house and we had to build another one completely." She shivered.

"I guess then it is the time to leave" Naori sighed Madara nodded his head tactfully.

"Bye great grandfather! See you next time" she hugged him before went to the old lady's arms.

"Hn" Madara closed his eyes. Before closing there was a hint of sadness in the depth of his eyes.

After leaving the cave Tsukiho slowly fell asleep with exhaustion that came from shadow clones.

"Mom, did something bad happen?" Tsumiki who was waiting for them with anxiety asked worriedly.

"No nothing happened. Just went to Kannbi Bridge." Naori gave the sleeping child to him gently.

"Thanks god" Yuna sighed in relief. "I worried something bad will happen"

"If something happens to us, won't Tsuki's clones disappear?" Naori helplessly said to red haired woman. "You worried too much Yuna. Even if something happened, I would rather kill myself to save this little gem" Naori looked at sleeping Tsukiho with her most gentle gaze.

"I know mom" the red haired woman slowly caressed the back of little girl. "But I really don't want that to happen. She deserves very much of love and protection from the three of us at least" she walked towards the door. "After all we can't say what will happen in the future"

Naori sighed while sat on a ruined wall in the country yard.

"Is something wrong mom?" Tsumiki sat beside her. His long purple hair danced with the wind.

"When had our things gotten better Tsumiki?" She asked back. "The clan is slowly separating from the village. Last time one of Danzo's men tried to make a scene with a small case. After sometimes it ended up with a fight in the outside with that ninja." She sighed helplessly.

"The clan's reputation stained again thanks to Danzo. Those three clan are really annoying. They don't give a damn about everyone even hokage" Tsumiki furrowed his brows.

"Shimura is the biggest threat. Others are just bark no bite at least for now. Lord Second is really unlucky with having students. Only Kagami, Torifu and hokage are the only people who saw the hidden leaf village in the real and right way. The real intentions of the founders." She looked at the night sky that filled with stars.

"You still don't like the Lord second that much. Aren't you mom?"

"He is a great warrior, a great hokage and a great leader. But he still a human. You can say our most of problems are related to him. But he is a great man despite the fact having a bias against Uchiha clan." Her voice had a little trace of anger.

"But he gave us the police force. It was something straight independent even from hokage. It is just our clan is naive to understand how to wield the weapon correctly." Tsumiki said.

"I know more than you little brat" she touched his head. "I knew him well despite having different opinions. He was one of easiest people to work with. But that still couldn't change the fact he is one of cause for this mess."

"Is it because he killed granduncle Izuna?"

"Somewhat, but he was also one of person who saved the whole situation." She looked at the flying thunder god mark on elbow.

"You trust him to that extent. What a complicated thing." Tsumiki yawned.

"It isn't about the trust. It is about the right way. It really weird that I working for peace with a person who killed my own uncle. But reluctantly I have to do that." Naori smiled but that smile mixed with bitterness.

"It had to be very difficult for you. After all we are Uchihas" he looked at his mom with sympathetic eyes.

"For the sake of future, the future of the world I forgot that grudge" she suddenly said with a different yet familiar tone but he could remember where is that familiarity came from.

"The present is relatively peaceful, but a very huge storm will start in a few years. There are many possibilities but all of them driving to a huge storm." Her sharingan activated as it turned into a flower like pattern.
