Shikamaru walked in this small town wearing these torn clothes with sai beside him, they walked in this small shop after planning everything with sai they entered as if they were strangers who didn't know each other "welcome" the old lady behind the table spoke welcoming her new customers "can I get green tea?" shikamaru spoke "what about you?" she smiled wider at the other male since he was better looking and he had fooled her with his fake smile "dango please" they both sat in different tables but close to each other when she served sai his dango he spoke "I heard there was a war close to here is that true?" the expression on her face's changed as if she was remembering something, something that had hunted her "these big villages started it again, they always kill these people from small towns because we didn't have shinobis like theirs" she then smiled looking at him again "but don't worry we have akiko" that name caught shikamaru's attention more "who is that?" she answered sai with huge happiness in her face, the same eyes that the villagers have for their hokage , she started describing this person as if she was talking about some goddess "akiko was the one who saved us from all these villagers cruelty, she had gathered her army in a young age and trained them to protect us" shikamaru sipped from his tea wanting to know more and what's better than disagreeing to make the other talk more "I heard she killed so many from the villagers too" the old lady gasped at and looked at him "these all are lies it's because of that criminal who was back in the hidden leaf village after all he had done to us they have welcomed him with open arms as if he was a hero for killing us" sai looked at shikamaru "how many did he killed?" the lady sat on the chair opposite from sai and shook her hand in the air "I heard he killed so many kids too and so many families" shikamaru narrowed his eyes "he's sick" sai looked at shikamaru knowing that he was trying to make the old lady talk more "I know ,he even killed akiko's family" shikamaru sipped from his tea and pied then left leaving sai to deal with the old lady.

Hinata was wide awake feeling tired to even react to the new chakra that was coming closer, too tired to open the door when its knocked twice "hinata-chaan, are inside?" that sound! Hinata gathered her strength and walked to the door and when she opened it she almost screamed when she saw her old friend "i..ino..ino-chan" hinata opened the door wider for her guest and ino didn't hesitate to run to hold the hyuga "I missed you so much" hinata felt a mixed of happiness and guilt she couldn't returned the hug she let her hands by her sides what right did she has to do so, she left her friends without anything to say no words were spoken from her mouth beside "I'm sorry" she whispered them to Ino's ears "I'm sorry" ino let go of her and stepped back with Looking at the hyuga with her softest eyes one could say that someone like her wasn't a shinobi "hinata?" She said her name quiet before she wiped those tears "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when u needed me" hjnata shook her head and wiped her tears but her eyes caught something, her bright lavender eyes widened looking down at the Yamanaka her hand find its way to her belly and touched it "Ino-chan?" And did nothing but smiled making sure that hinata understood it "how far?" The smile only got wider The Yamanaka touched her stomach feeling it by her palms "six" hinata looked up three months after her when she got pregnant, she moved aside to let the other kunoichi step inside, ino made herself comfortable once she went inside she was already walking around the tiny house chatting about whatever she wanted no limitations in her chats which made the hyuga admire her more, Ino looked in the small house walls before she turned holding a different look in her face a small smile in her lips as her blue eyes stared back at the hyuga's soul "ne, hinata" she didn't respond afraid of the question the Yamanaka might ask "was it worth it?" Hinata was caught off guard she stared back at Ino, she didn't think that the question would come this fast in a second hinata replied her life in her head comparing the life she has with sasuke and the one she had back in the fancy, huge mansion she knew what ino was asking about she was the clan's leader daughter, she was the hokage's fiancée and a princess of one of the greatest clan of konoha living in the most beautiful house surrounded with maids ,so was it worth living in this tiny house away from anyone throwing the title of the princess behind her back? To live with a man he was once a traitor to his own village, a man that had nothing in his life comparing to what she had before, was it worth turning her back to her past? "It wasn't easy" she admitted "it took me a long time to choose, leaving my clan, my position in the hyuga's and my whole village" tears gathered in her eyes and her voice cracked showing her struggles to choose as she remembered the only person who made her hesitate the most "leaving hanabi after our father's death, all these wasn't easy" hinata looked down to her huge belly "but I wasn't happy, not with the hokage ,not with the princess of the Hyūga nor escaping away from my feelings towards him it took me a while to admit that i love him even when I'm holding Naruto's arm my eyes would turn to the person behind us even when i left my huge house I found my only escape was him i still don't know how my feet dragged me to that dark, abandoned building while i have the huge hyuga's mansion opened for me, I had found whatever was missing in me in him, my happiness, my feelings that I thought i lost and will never come back, I thought that i would never taste the same joy of my feelings after my separation with Naruto but i was wrong, I'm living it everyday here with him in this tiny house, i love him ino-chan, I love him so much but I don't know why was it so hard to live a normal life with him? Why do i have to leave my little sister alone to be happy why do i have to leave my home why when I thought that i would live peacefully with him he got dragged away again, because he was forced to fix his mistakes? I want everyone to forget whoever Sasuke was, i know it selfish but i want him with me every second of the day" Ino looked at her friend no smiles no tears nothing was on her face she just stared at her as the hyuga let out whatever bothering her "So you're happy" Ino whispered and hinata looked up to her "Yes, I'm happy with him wherever he was" Ino clapped her hands "then I'm glad for you now I'm starving " she walked away as if nothing happened and hinata admired that about the Yamanaka

Sakura ran to the tint ready to treat another injuries not only one but many was waiting for them what was with these people? They weren't effected by anybody's attack only shuriken effected them they wanted sasuke's head they wanted him dead and they know nothing about their leader she was a female, a young female what akiko was her name she wanted to see her to know why was she fighting a whole village for only one person they progressed nothing and nothing was proceeded only a lot of many dead bodies nothing more she had been here for a while now "they are small town no need to freak out" she had looked down at them for being few but they weren't the little girl they were fighting was tortured too hard to train she chose that to become strong and she trained a whole town another thing made them lose a lot was there were kids, young kids were fighting against them ,old people and everyone in that small town was fighting many of their shinobi had token their life not wanting to fight in this war and nobody wanted to go against any kid it confused her how much time had she been planning on this? , she worked hard in the middle of all their screams
"he's losing so much blood" "they should've brought him earlier" "is h breathing?" "can you check that solider too?!"
This was so stressing sakura tried again even though hope was begging to sneak from the man's eyes sakura tried ,his eyes lost their bright with the last tear that rolled down his cheeks washing the blood's stains that painted his face, he was young, younger than her if they weren't fighting sakura thought that he could be walking in the streets to smell fresh air, or maybe a new gift for his lover. Sakura looked at her hands ( who's next?) this situation didn't change since the war began they were only losing lives, many and many of lives were taken in this pointless war. Why should they fight any longer? Things would change she knew that but when? When there would only few shinobi left! Sakura shed no tear and no tear could take away this amount of depression, sadness, guilt and pain. They would be stuck with her until the end of this war and the end seemed so far "Haruno!!" Her eyes turned to the back where a new group of injuries and dead people just came, Just like few minutes ago it's like she was living inside a loop no end to it she knew what was coming after hours of useless attempts to get the life this war took, few hours of pressure and worries surrounded by too many medics around her and too many questions in her head "Sakura-chan, why did you became a medic?" Their seventh hokage asked her once "to save lives of course" that what she dreams about and she became a medic but did she reached her purpose "Haruno!!"

Ino stayed with hinata for about a week they did a lot with each other helping each other ,cooking meals, pouring their hearts to each other ,remembering their memory together and talking about their lives. She was happy that she had ino by her side in times like this, it's been a week since she came hinata laid on her side thinking of her husband when will the next time she see him, she hoped soon, she hoped that this war will end soon and he will come home to be there when their child come, hinata felt a pain in her abdomen she growled when it got more and tried to turn but her back hurts too she didn't want to wake Ino so she bitten her lip finally she tried again and rolled but the pain was more than she could handle hinata screamed and ino woke up running to her "hinata you ok?" she wasn't able to speak she shook her head instead "omg!! Wait" ino grabbed a pillow and let hinata rest her back on it. hinata wasn't able to left herself to sit right so ino helped her "thank you ino-chan" ino smiled and wiped hinata's sweat and laid again

Hanabi hyuga had struggled with the hyuga clan's member when she let hinata left and lived her life and she struggled more when sent someone to protect her saying that she wasn't a hyuga anymore that she chose that by herself but they forgot that she was still her sister and of course she cares for her, she was careful when she had to choose someone to protect her sister, studying all their reaction whenever her sister was mentioned they were all cursing her , threatening to leave her without any protection but tetsu he stood behind without any reaction or any word spoke and when he was asked he just answered "whatever satisfy hanabi-sama" he was a kid back then so she chose him and sent him there without looking to what the elders would say hanabi gathered them once "you said she wasn't a hyuga now didn't you? So just think of the hyuga's member because I'm doing this for my only family I have right now" hanabi sighed when she remembered all of that this was supposed to be her honeymoon how did it turn like this? She was now in the battlefield she could see them yes but they would faded in a blink so she ran fast towards one when she spotted one knowing very well that none of her techniques would work so she prepared her kunai she stopped when she reached the person looking at him with wide eyes ... he was a kid glaring at her with his dark eyes what would she do now? How this was fair? She was a leader of huge clan in the village and she was fighting a 10 years old boy! Her hands felt numb this war was leaving them without brains or lives and she didn't know what she would lose beside all the hyugas she lost hanabi's kunai rested in her side the boy's hands were empty he lost all his weapons and she wondered who in their army had fought him? Who had the heart to rise their weapon in his face ,hanabi wanted to go back to her home and rest leaving whatever would happen to these people to the fate, if this boy had no weapon then someone had fought and that meant that there were shinobi who fought other children, Cowards! there were criminals among them fighting along their sides hanabi thought for a minute whose fault is this? No one know who is the victim in this war they were fighting to no end until one of the sides end and she didn't want to kill a child hanabi looked up to the sky (what do I do? Father) the kid found his chance to escape for his life, hanabi watched his glances when he ran away his eyes held fear who caused it? hanabi thought about her life when she was in the same age with him she was still training with her father to become the perfect leader she threw her kunai and walked back where? She didn't know she wanted to go far away from this war.

Konohamaru heard about the hyugas retreat, it was an order from their leader. He didn't blame her though she was supposed to be in some fancy place she was spending her honeymoon in a war! Konohamaru remembered her wedding day, he chose the back to watch her walk wearing a white kimono that was surrounded by colorful flowers looking straight with her light grey eyes she needed no makeup in her eyes they were naturally beautiful but still someone had painted her eyelids with a beautiful shade of pink color that matched her lips her hard eyes didn't ruin her beautiful smile he did nothing but took a deep breath imagining her walking towards him slowly testing his patience with a smile teasing him with a smirk showing him that he had no power in front of her but he wasn't she was walking with another groom that wasn't him, someone who know nothing about her, he didn't that she loved the orange color and she preferred winter over summer, someone who didn't know when to do their job whenever she walked away to pour her tears out to wash her pain away they chose their fate in a minute and both victims agree but they weren't the only victims of this selfish decision there were other pair of eyes watching in the shadow and maybe another pair of eyes watching their heroes being taken by another princess but they did nothing but to go on with their plan because their feelings were stronger than their thoughts "congrats hyuga" he said that with a smile covering her feelings while his eyes poured them in hers and she settled for a smile he gave no present for her his feelings were enough trash for her, he didn't want another failed attempts if he saw her wearing a necklace he gave for her while she locked arms with this person he would have to deal with another journey of pain , knonhamaru walked away from the huge, fancy wedding dragging his broken heart with him.

This wasn't what he had expected they were few but they were still fighting and whenever he thought that they were going to win they fight again it was like there was no lose in the other side but there were, like an endless loop sasuke looked down to his katana today hinata will enter her last month, he had visited her sometimes whenever he had the chance to it he visit her and they would talk, talk about everything and anything he had told her about his fake letters he used to send for her addressing it as if it was from naruto and she had told him about her meeting with the clan elders when they knew about her relationship with him they had laugh and smiled and saddened together they remembered the first time sasuke tried to cook and how he almost got their tiny house burnt, sasuke looked to the scarf she gave him before he left, she had tiptoed to put it on for him and when she got closer to his face she kissed him they kept that kiss longer before he left and once he turned he felt the coldness of the loneliness e sighed as he played with the scarf around his neck "I love you" she whispered it that night it melted his heart and all the pain of this war away, sasuke'e eyes widened when he saw the explosion in front of him that where his team was he jumped from the tree and ran to them looking for any of them the fire of the explosion were eating all their body he stared at them knowing nothing in how to deal with this situation, " I'm not suited to be a leader" he told the nara but he said he had no choice

Where is the war water?" hinata answered wanting so bad end this pain "THERE IS NO....AHHHH" hinata screamed and ino remembered she will have to lit fire to warm the water "OMG!! Wait tetsu!!" she walked out of the house calling the hyuga's guard name loud but no answer came, ino felt something strange where was he? "INOO-CHAAAN" ino looked back not having much time she ran to where she could find the wood, the village was so far from here how would she go? So she ran to gather the wood trusting the only hope that she had that testu will come and he did ino saw jumped when someone landed behind her "OMG!!" she stared for a minute "HINATA, GO HINATA NEED HELP SHE... SHE BABY WILL COME GO" the man nodded his "can you plaese go to the village and ask them to prepare before i take hinata-sama?" without hesitation she ran back to the village leaving hinata to her guard.

Hinata stayed in the floor holding her abdomen it's hurt feeling like she would get ripped her back hurts too she couldn't hold back her screams, her head hurts too everything hurts and only one person crossed her mind (sasuke) where was he?? She needed him in moments like this no person in this whole world could fit his place but she needed help "INO-CHAAAAN AHH" her screams never reach the yamanaka's ears instead a dark tall figure stood in front of her in the steps of her opened door hinata rested her head on the bed behind her and her eyes fell on his nothing was showing in the dark beside his bright grey eyes even though he was hr guard and one of the hyugas hinata gathered her strength to push herself away from him when he stepped towards her but to where she knew her fate when his face was cleared under the light no smile were in his features, no worries nothing she tried again "INOOO-CHA—" "no one would hear you ino was sent back to the village by me" he tricked her friend she already knew everything "not my child" hinata whispered her last wish for the man "you stained hanabi-sama's name by your filthy actions" why did she rusted a hyuga? Hinata didn't know he said he was sent by her sister hinata's lips bleed when she bite them she was suffering from pain and fear and lonely hinata closed her eyes when he pulled out a kunai "NOT MY CHILD PLEASE" she screamed "I WANT MY CHILD SAFE PLEASE" "she was begging (did you see that father? I'm begging on my knees another hyuga forgive me for failing you) would he dared if sasuke was here" she wouldn't need any protection form any stranger hinata kept her eyes closed begging in silence while she heard his steps towards her getting closer and louder no one appeared in her head but him, ssasuke uchiha what was he doing now she remembered when she was looking back at him from over naruto's shoulder to his standing figure looking at her back with his dark eyes she loved darkness she found safety in darkness just like now her last expect was shutting her eyes and drown herself in darkness hinata's hands tightened around her belly what would his eyes be she hope for dark just like her husband she wasn't afraid when she heard the man's breath close because she saw nothing but sasuke's eyes looking back at her with his tiny smile "I love you, I'm in love with you"

Naruto was walking towards his office he wanted to go there so badly but he couldn't why? He had villagers here too he needed to take care of shikamaru was waiting for him in front of his door h wasn't happy to see him it meant something was wrong " what's it shika" shikamaru looked at naruto without any greeting and any introduction "sakura needs more medics" naruto sighed he forehead were brighten with his sweat they were losing a lot "why are we losing a lot?" shikamaru shrugged "probably from their technique they are using their anesthetic techniques in everything "send it to gaara" shikamaru nodded his head the hokage walked to his chair and rested his head "when is this going to end?" he asked himself but shikamaru interfered "when one of akiko or sasuke die" Naruto snapped his head toward his friend looking at him with surprise and fear his look turned to a glare these words were huge bigger than anybody taking someone's life wasn't an easy thing no one had the right to kill anybody else and he made that clear to the shinobis when the hyugas retreat hanabi couldn't fight a kid he said it again "don't kill anybody if you don't need to and don't attack the kids just defend yourself against them" why did fear held his heart when shikamaru said that? He tried to gather his courage " I won't allow that to happen to both of them shika" shikaamru wasn't looking up from his papers that naruto gave to him "of course since we told sasuke about them hopefully no one would die" naruto looked at shikaamru confused with raised brows "what do you mean we told him nothing about her ability" shikamaru finally looked up to his idiot fried "what do you mean?" the sweat on naruto's forehead began to shine more "I mean he know right? He was sent to her father and he knows right?" shikamaru's eyes widened his hokage were dumber than he had expected "shekamaru left the papers on his table and ran out

choice sasuke looked around him "these people are your responsibility sasuke" he gave his word to the hokage when he nodded why did he nodded because he wanted to leave that office but looking around him now he regret it no one of his team was alive no body was around him only dead bodies and fire and smoke and smells that drove his head dizzy steps were heard from behind him and he looked back immediately to the young girl behind him that was walking towards him the first thing that appeared from her features were her eyes they were bright blue eyes as if the sun with all its bright fell in the ocean in the middle of the night he didn't know why but when his eyes fell on hers he remembered what his mother said in his dreams the smile on her face was like an introduction about herself no name was needed to tell him who she was no memory was needed (akiko) was her name and it was like he was living in the past now "Uchiha" his name came out of her mouth as I it was the most disgusting thing he didn't feel offended he just stare no hate was held against her looking at her he remembered his past when he killed orochimaru and began searching for his brother same clothes that covered his body from head to toes shakiko revealed her hair not like her father's she had brighter hair than her father's he said nothing while he waited for her to speak "you had the nerve to show up in this war and fighting? Why? You need to kill more people? I don't blame you have people who will welcome you back with your dirty hands like you're their hero" he was in the same place as her holding all these feelings against his village and he still does but despite all that he couldn't say a word, what would he say apologizing wasn't enough, why does he feel like this his head was dizzy "do you wait that hyuga to deliver your baby?" how did she knew about that, sasuke activated his sharingan threatening the young girl but she smirked "nothing worked on me uchiha" why was he feeling dizzy sasuke took step but stumbled he then remembered she was gaining her father's ability nothing affect her "it's unfair right uchiha? You killed my father when he know nothing about ninjutsu without a second thought your katan ran through his body" he didn't want to remember that , what if she knew about that? What if his child knew "and you wanted to be a father? We don't need more people like you "she took out a sword smaller than his and ran toward him sasuke moved his feet to defend but his knee began to weaken so he fell on one of them sasuke shut his eyes he felt pain too much pain why was he dizzy? tears were rolling down his cheeks for no reason sasuke opened his eyes again he was staring back at his mother she was looking down at him her arms were opened for his cold body why was he cold? "remember sasuke whatever you do to people it will come back to you" her smile never faded from her face and it was breath taking he blinked again but the face he saw wasn't his mother's it was akiko holding a small sword in her hands painted with blood who's blood? He realized who it belonged to when his body fell on the ground feeling the cold sand against his back one thing were hunting he looked up to the sky it was a full moon a small smile find his lips sending memories to his eyes memories of the beautiful women he churches in his heart her eyes were brighten this dark lace just like the moon in the sky, he scent covered all the smell of the war how did it reach his nose "neh, sasuke what do you regret?" what did he regret the most? A tear rolled down his cheeks making the pain of losing blood less while he thought of an answer to his wife's question he felt like laughing when he finally find the answers of all The question in his head and how simple they were but what did he regret wasting his time, he regretted wasting his time when she was right in front of his eyes he felt cold when it will the next time he would be in her arms? Sasuke stared at the moon when will be that next time he would stare at her eyes? His eyes were closing against his well he wanted to stare at the moon to the last drop of blood but when his eyes closed a memory of him standing in front of her door began to play showing him his life with her, like the last gift from this life to him.
