Return

At the Minakami Estate.

Akemi was preparing breakfast when

"Yasaka? you're up early, here eat this and wake up Ryu for me okay dear?"

I hope this fox grows up too, its chakra levels is too high for a normal animal or ninken or is it just because the lack of foxes in Konoha that I don't know the average chakra of their species? Oh well it's still cute and fluffy anyways

Akemi didn't care about Yasaka as she got used to the fox who was always with Ryu either at his head or neck and sometimes it leaves and comes back with a basket on its mouth so it didn't bother her one bit.

"Yasaka I'm going out now, when you're done wake up Ryu or until Guy comes and stay with them for the day I'll bring you something when I come back later"

"..." Yasaka just nodded, licked Akemi's hand's that were petting her.

"She really loves getting pampered fufu~ A good training material for pamp- Oh! Yasaka always act like you want to get pampered by Ryu! He'll thank us when he's older"

Yasaka not fully understanding behind the meaning of Akemi's words just continued enjoying to be pampered and cared for

Better buy a collar and put a tracking seal, I'll teach Ryu about this seal so he can practice soon and find Yasaka if ever she gets lost or the like.

After hours of running

"We can finally rest Gaki! we're out of Otogakure and we're near the gates of Konoha"

"Ano Onee-chan about this family? Are you sure they wouldn't mind me? Your Kaa-san sounds scary and Ryu-kun sounds like a pervert?"

"You're right they are, but even then they'll still accept you, since they're good people"

The boy on the Anko's arm didn't say anything as he just listened to their conversation although he was curious since he had lived a life a war before he was found by Anko.

"Mm!" Nodded Guren happily

"Say Gaki, while you were there did you notice something different?"

"Yes! It's bigger than my previous village!"

As Anko heard this she face-palmed herself, technically she is still a child she thought.

"Oh wow Gaki! great observation! Anything else Gaki?"

"Ano- ah Yes! Anko onee-chan! When I comeback stronger I want to save and help those children too like you!"

Hmm interesting, looks like there's more to the so called help of Otogakure.

"Why is that Guren-chan?"

"Well like you said when you teach me how to control my so called powers, I also want to help them with theirs! I saw a lot of people having weird powers like me and I thought they might think they're demons as well! So part of the reason why I want to go with you is because of this!"

As soon as Guren finished her speech Anko was shocked to the core, A Village filled with Kekkei Genkai users!

"Guren-chan, are all inhabitants of this village children and do they all have powers?"

"Ano- No I saw families too and I got jealous because of it, but there are also good people there and some stay because of the promise of helping us or so I thought"

"Thanks for the help Gaki! I'm proud of you!"

"Mm, what are you doing Anko-nee-sama?"

"This? Haha this is a seal Gaki! I'm calling Kaa-san so she can pick us up!" Anko said while smiling at Guren

Guren smiled genuinely at the words of Anko, excited at the though of meeting her new family

"There are tons of possibilities, either they're remnants from Kiri that escaped the massacre, Or like Guren said Kekkai Genkai users making a Village but lastly, knowing that Snakes personality and dream it maybe he's gathering Kekkei Genkai users as Vessels" Anko shuddered at her last thought and touched her neck where a mark was placed, but soon smiled knowing that her Otou-san sealed it

"Old-man I'll make you proud!"

"Oh Guren, aside from Kaa-san someone will also pick us up so don't be afraid of them okay?"

"Mm"

"Are you mute now Gaki?"

Anko asked the boy as he had just been listening, the boy just shook his head.

"No, I just want to listen to your stories, to me it feels like a fairytale straight out from a book that's why I'd rather listen for now."

"Geez what the hell did you experience"

"If you're going to ask me what I've observed from the village we were in if it helps you then yes there were a lot of people with peculiar abilities how strong they are I don't know I've only looked after her while you were gone."

Anko nodded as she sped up as she saw the gate from afar.

"Say What's your name?"

Guren asked the boy, even though they had been together for days she never asked for his name as she was scared and he had exuded a scary aura, Anko smiled at their interaction but didn't say anything as she focused on carrying them.

"Kimimaro"

Back at Konoha in the Hokage tower

"Old Man! Anko just finished her mission, and I'm sure Kakashi has finished his report"

"Hm? What about Kakashi?" Hiruzen ponders on what bargain Akemi is thinking of

"Nothing much, Kakashi I have a small favor of you, you can clear out the ANBU with Tenzo after this" Akemi said looking at the roof of the office

Soon A White Haired ANBU appeared

"What is it Akemi-sama?"

"Nothing much but you escorting my clone and Anko back to Konoha and eliminating any pests that are watching us"

"Hmm" Kakashi acts like his pondering something

"I'll give you a limited and unreleased version of Icha-Icha signed by my Husband and Jiraiya"

"YES AKEMI SAMA!" Kakashi answers proudly and left with Akemi's clone

"Oh, now I know what to bargain with Kakashi since he'll be a regular jonin again" said Hiruzen as he found blackmail against Kakashi

"No I won't give you any!" As if Akemi knows what Hiruzen was thinking she snapped back at him

"But I'll give you something better" Akemi smiled smugly

"Oh care to share Akemi?" As Hiruzen was piqued on what she has to offer since he rarely gets a bargain

"I want full custody of the Childrem Anko will bring! No buts or murmurs from the council especially your Lover other than that there's nothing"

"Hmm for short you want me to shut up?"

"Yes!"

"Fine if it's just this then I feel like I'll be on the winning side of the deal"

"Good! Now here! Open this scroll, its a better version of your Orb that you can use for your so called research and only for research! Oh I also put seals that will magnify the image clearer than before and a seal so that the ANBU behind you can't see what you're researching about anymore!"

As soon as Akemi said this, various ANBU fell to the ground leaving a purple haired ANBU pick her colleagues up and cleaning the Hokage's blood on the floor that gushed out after Akemi said her piece and left the office

"*cough* Yugao its fine, I'll give you guys a 2 days off, now leave!"

"Yes!"

"Thank you Kami-sama for Akemi!"
