[Mother of who?!]

| 20 | Home Arrival |

I'm...still...sick. And this is the 20th chapter. Crap. Shinatta! Haah! (rubs head)

Anyways, let me type this until my brain goes haywire. Since I have once again got obssessed with JPOP and JROCK (pssha! I was always obssessed), instead of just 3 more chapters until the Epiloge, I have decided to do 25 chapters! Oh! And this seems to be the last chapter in this Arc, so, of course, another Special Chapter is coming straight around the corner! Shut up if you're going to complain! Do it where I'm not looking or listening! (8D) I think my brain's gone haywire now...(D:)

FEEDBACK: Is...uh...loved. And will greatly help her sickness (don't know how that'll happen).

WARNING: Foul Language. Fluff. Crack!

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

CLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, own this story's story-line and plot, and the OC's I have created over the past chapters and basis.

Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.

You sighed as you stood there, Tsunade looking expectantly at you.

"Well? How was the 'mission'?"

"We...succeeded."

You could by the taken-aback look on her face that she was surprised.

"No one...ahem?"

You stiffened at the hidden message in her sentence, and you sighed again.

"I did. But apparently, I got resurrected by my 'tou-san."

She blinked, before her body went rigid. She knew of your clan's massacre, and she knew who executed it as well. Her eyes hardened.

"Where is he, now?"

"Uh, he's--"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

You sighed, before face-palming and glaring at the door, which the voice had been heard from.

I thought I told them to watch him, not capture him.

You heaved another sigh as the door burst open, revealing a very-dishevelled Team 5 and a seemingly not-fazed Natsume.

"What...did you do...now?"

"What? What are you talking 'bout, Musume [1]?"

You growled, finding your unused calling bring up nostalgic memories. Your right eye twitched, as did Tsunade's.

"[Name]. Who...is that?"

You couldn't blame her if she couldn't recognise him. You couldn't on first glance either. Come on, he had green hair. GREEN hair. Unlike the [h/c] you were accustomed to.

"He's--"

"Watashi wa Natsume [Last Name], and I hope I can be of service to you Konohagakure, Hokage-sama."

You raised an eye-brow when he bowed, just for the extra effect.

Is...this really my 'tou-san?
