" Strange, don't you know where your own mother lives?" Kiyotaka said and continued glaring.

"You, You fucker." Getto yelled at the insult just made and tried punching Kiyotaka in the same place again.

Kiyotaka took a step back and dodged the punch. He then jumped forward quickly and kicked Getto in his stomach using his knees.

Ghetto fell unconsciously on the platform with some drops of blood flowing out from his mouth.

The other ninjas took action and hurried to restrain Kiyotaka once again.

Kiyotaka also rushed in the other ninja's direction and killed the first two by throwing the two marbles in his hands at them.

The marbles with a fast speed and went through the heads of the two.

Ninjas did not hesitate even for a second and continued forward. Though it was peculiar to be killed by marble, dying people were a common thing.

As the others continued rushing, Kiyotaka kicked the one in the front, causing him to fall off the platform and then also of the deep cliff full of mist below.

Kiyotaka then continued and punched the ninja right beside him in the stomach again, causing the ninja to bend down holding his stomach.

Kiyotaka then hit him on the feet, causing him to disbalance and fell and punched him in the face next. From the dead body, Kiyotaka took a knife and continued the fight.

The fight continued for a while. By the time of noon, the platform and the rest of the camp were full of blood.

The camp was a camp led by the jonin commander of Iwagakure and was an important camp.

The jonin commander too had been killed somewhere within the crowd by Kiyotaka.

Currently, though it was only noon, it seemed as if it was evening. Kiyotaka stood at the platform where he was to be killed and looked around.

"Thank you for the help," Kiyotaka said, looking at the man who had given him the marbles.

The man was on the ground, his face full of fear looking at Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka still was completely clean, not even a single drop of blood was on his clothes.

Kiyotaka looked at the mist below and jumped off the cliff.

- A few more months later, in Konoha- [A/N: There was nothing major on Kumo's side so it was completely skipped. He already took the clan legacy without any extra drama.]

Some months had passed since Yukan got to Kumo's border. Within these months, Yukan was not able to do anything major such as annihilating Kumo's army, all because of one person, ped– Orochimaru.

Since Yukan's students also went with him, Yukan had been busy protecting them from Orochimaru's curiosity.

Only when the situation stabilized did Yukan come back to Konoha.

For the last month he spent on the border, Yukan had been too busy to get out of his work and was able to do nothing else.

.

It was night in Konoha and Kushina was sitting in the bedroom, preparing to sleep.

"No letter today too…" Kushina said sadly and turned to lie in the bed. As she was about to lie down, she heard something fall.

She was surprised and was about to walk down when she heard the voice.

"Hey, you aren't asleep already, right?" It was Yukan's voice.

Kushina rushed down upon hearing the voice.

When she saw Yukan standing at the door with a bouquet in his hands, she rushed towards him.

"Hey how hav–" As Yukan was speaking, he was himself punched in his stomach by Kushina and then hugged by her too.

"Ouch! What is wrong?" Yukan asked as he hugged Kushina back.

"You were gone for so long and you didn't even send a letter," Kushina said as she hung onto Yukan and cried a little.

Yukan kissed Kushina and said," It was only a month, my love. Moreover, I am pretty strong so no one can do anything to me."

"But so what? That doesn't mean that I won't be worried." Kushina said.

Yukan smiled happily and then picked up Kushina. He put down the bouquet he held and took Kushina back to the room.

All this while, Kushina had her arms gripped around Yukan tightly and didn't let go of him.

In the morning, Kushina was woken up by the sound of the birds and the rays of the sun.

Kushina turned to her left to see Yukan but saw nothing.

"You're up? Here, breakfast for you in bed." Yukan entered the bedroom with a tray in his hands.

The tray had omelettes, toasts and milk along with some fruits.

"Wow, Yukan! This looks edible." Kushina exclaimed as she was about to start eating.

When the sliced apple was near her mouth, her face changed suddenly, as if she remembered something.

Kushina put down the tray on the bed, got up and hurried to the bathroom.

Yukan was confused by her actions but waited for Kushina to come out.

When she finally came out, Yukan asked," Are you alright?"

Kushina walked to the bed and sat right beside Yukan. She held his hand and started to speak.

"Hey, Yukan. I myself found out a few days ago and was about to tell you. I don't know if you will like it but, I-I am pregnant with our child." Kushina said as she seemed a little afraid of getting rejected.

Yukan reacted a bit later. His face went completely blank when he heard this.

He hugged Kushina, kissed her on her forehead and said," Congratulations to us then. But, before I forget, I have to go and get milk..."
