"That is your burden."

The room was quite large. After all, how many rooms were there in the aftermath of the war? And many people were inside each with their own agenda.

       Kages of all ages from their own eras represented their own villages. There was Madara Uchiha too, who stood by the sidelines and watched them all scurry around like headless chickens.

        Other key figures though, sat calmly playing tea party with the girl named Endara. She smiled blissfully, her legs swinging under the table as she poured Arien Fahlen Uchiha, Madara Uchiha's wife, a cup of tea.

        Then she poured Nhira Aibelle hers too, as well as Ziare of the Sand. Temari was uneasy about it, as her brother had disappeared before her eyes yet seeing Ziare calmly sipping tea with the child that caused it somehow reassured her.

        The First Hokage strangely was quiet as if he cournot bear to be in the room. The Second only watched with vigilance. It was the Fifth Hokage who was uneasy.

       The three of the Kage and two of their generals  suddenly disappeared into thin air.

       Kakashi Hatake.
      Gaara of the Sand
       Mei Terumi
       Onoki
       Darui

       The awkward silence was broken by Ziare who was of the Sand, "There was a prophecy, of the one to rule the world and bring back the glory of the Old World."

        They had been talking about the 'Princess' before Endara and Arima decided to make the five people disappear and it enraged the fourth raikage how they were basically held hostages in that room.

        "Who cares about that?"

        But no one cared to listen to him, at least none of those people on the table having tea being watched by everyone.

         "If you are who you say you are," Ziare dragged on as she lay her cup down, "then will the prophecy come to fruition?" Her sharp golden eyes aimed solely at the child.

       Endara only smiled and laughed, the black curly hair bounced beautifully. "You'll know when your lover returns. No need to fret."

       "Hmm.." the girl with golden eyes hummed as she leaned back. She was too calm about it, it unnerved Kankuro.

      But the others who did not know of this princess or this prophecy could not care for much of it as the conversation on the table became nothing but chatter.

        "You must know, the Princess Areayis is my only friend." Said Ziare, Shikamaru noticed the widening of Temari's eyes as she heard it. Almost as if she couldn't believe the word friend came out of Ziare's mouth.

       "So, you're Areayis's friend too?" A booming, scratchy voice interrupted as Naruto pushed past the throng of people to the table.

     Ziare sired him a glance, nodded and nothing more.

      'This Naruto is not just Areayis's friend but Gaara's too. He must be quite the exceptional man.'

      The boy turned to Nhira as he saw her seated there calmly swirling tea in her cup. "But Nhira-nee, what's this about a prophecy?"

        "You must be curious. You are after all the child of prophecy." His face turned towards Arima, the ebony black eyes reminded him of Areayis's whose eyes were black as the night too.
