Brush

In the evening of another day in the Hidden Leaf Village, the sky is already started to get red implying that another night started to fall. At the entrance of village, there was a group of colourful heads was gathered in order to farewell to their leaving loved ones.

"Don't forget to write for me Tsuki!" Kushina waved her hand.

"I'll aunt Kushi" the little girl waved her hand. "I'll write for you Itachi, Big brother Kakashi, Obito and big sister Rin. Don't forget to read them." She shouted out loud. Kakashi snorted to say he would. Through the aloof facade and the mask she saw a little smile on his face.

"I'll definitely little Tsuki. Remember to miss me" Rin said cheerfully while waving back.

"I'll miss you big sis" she said.

"You bet. The future hokage Obito Uchiha definitely read your letters. Remember to send more often."

The raven haired boy jumped up as the little girl give a thumbs up.

"All the best big brother Obito."

"Bye uncle Minato. Please take care of aunt Kushi. Mom said that not to let her eat more ramen" a mischievous smile appeared on the faces of both old lady and the girl who is carried by her.

"You brat!" Kushina shouted but there wasn't any anger on her voice.

"Bye Itachi! Bye aunt Mikoto! don't let Itachi be a dull stuffy gourd" when she said it everyone started to laugh and Itachi glared at her.

Then she sensed foreign chakra above her and remembered the person that chakra belong to. "Bye, grandpa hokage. Don't smoke too much it isn't a good habit" she waved her hand at the sky.

In the hokage office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the girl through the crystal ball and saw she is waving at him. He smiled softly understanding it is for him. "Seems like she is really gifted one." Then he saw she is saying something to him as he has been taken aback by what she said after reading her lips. "This child! She is more like lady Naori. No wonder she spoil her so much. I wonder what surprises will you bring in in the future little Tsukiho, lady Naori's child of hope. I am looking forward for your growth" he went toward the window in the hokage building to look at the leaving duo.

Tsukiho grinned widely until everyone disappeared from her vision and sensory range.

They vanished from the hidden leaf village and appeared in another forest. Tsukiho easily recognised the place since it is a place she often come. Then they started to walk under the bridge and found the passage in a hidden cave.

After walking some time she saw the familiar figure who was sleeping on the stone seat. "Great grandfather" Tsukiho smiled brightly at the old figure who is trying to sit with the help of the sickle.

The old man slowly opened his eyes as his corners of mouth lifted up little. "Little devil, how was the trip?"

"So whitie told you. Hehe" she chuckled. "I made friends in there. They are very nice" she sat beside Madara.

"Ohh...is that so?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Mm..I had a spar with one of them and won. And he had really weird white hair and wore masks..." she started to say what happened in the hidden leaf village since she can't hide anything from him.

"Seems like you enjoyed the visit. How was Uchiha clan?" He slowly asked.

"I didn't see many clansmen. But I can tell the other people in the village don't like them. And clanhead's son is same age as me. He is a good learner." She said how she taught him fire ball jutsu.

She saw Madara is looking at her. Seeing the hidden softness in that gaze, she grinned and try to say something but then she remembered something and looked at him with a mischievous smile.

"I bought something for you great grandfather" she opened her bag and placed her hand on a storage scroll. Then a black hair brush with red pattern appeared on top of the seal.

Looking at what she had brought for him, Madara felt his eyebrows twitching to remember the last day he had brushed his hair. Though he always washed it, he never bother to brush it much since he never went outside after he have gotten older.

Beside them Naori looked at her father while trying to hide her laughter. "You know father, Tsuki walked around the whole compound to find a good hair brush to the point even I feel jealous too"

As an answer he glared at her. But she smiled back at him showing she wasn't afraid of him.

"Great grandfather can I?" She took the hair brush to her right hand and asked for permission.

"Hn" he let her to do his hair while gritting his teeth.

Tsukiho looked at the messy spiky white hair as she slowly started to untie the knots gently.

Meanwhile Naori looked at the great granddaughter's and great grandfather's antics with a smiling gaze before she made a chair for her using earth style ninjutsu.

After trying for a long time to solve all the knots, she finally succeed. Then she slowly started to brush his hair while listening to Madara's and Naori's discussion. She carefully avoided the place gedo mazo statue connected to him since she didn't want to kill him.

After brushing it whole she got a band aid cloth strip and tied his hair up. "There" she smiled at her work proudly and placed her hands on her hips.

"How is it grandmother?" She asked from Naori first. Then saw she gave a thumbs up.

"Great grandfather, do you feel too much tight?" she gave a hand mirror to Madara while asking.

After some moments of waiting he finally answered. "Hn, it's really good" he looked at his great granddaughter's adorable happy face and said with a pause. "Thank you"

She grinned widely. "You welcome"

"You are really like your great granduncle than me" Madara suddenly said.
