As I slowly woke up in Sasuke's warm embrace, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and safety. The sound of his steady breathing and the warmth of his body against mine made it hard to leave his side, but I knew I had to start the day. "Good morning today!" I said cheerfully, hoping to wake Sasuke up gently.

To my disappointment, Sasuke merely groaned in response, clearly not a morning person. I chuckled quietly to myself as I slipped out of bed, taking care not to wake him up. As I stood up, my mind raced with thoughts from the previous day. I wondered if we would see the girls we had met again, and what their story was. I also couldn't help but think about the pink-haired girl who seemed so familiar, yet I couldn't quite place where I had seen her before.

Lost in thought, I took a step forward and immediately tripped on one of my nine tails. Before I knew it, I was tumbling down the stairs of the old cottage we were staying in, the floor beneath my feet crumbling away as I fell. As I hit the ground with a loud "CRACK," I couldn't help but wonder where exactly I had fallen.

It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the darkness around me, but as they did, I realized that I was in a completely different room. The air was musty and thick, and the walls were covered in cobwebs. I slowly got to my feet, rubbing the back of my head where I had hit it in the fall.

Looking around, I realized that I was in some kind of underground chamber. The walls were made of stone, and torches flickered dimly in the distance. I couldn't see much beyond the circle of light that the torches provided, but I had a feeling that there was much more to this room than met the eye.

As I took a step forward, I heard a faint whisper in the darkness. It was almost imperceptible at first, but as I listened closer, I realized that it was the sound of someone or something breathing. My heart pounding in my chest, I slowly made my way towards the source of the sound, unsure of what I would find.

 "Okay well I guess I should explore!" I said cheerfully with a sparkle in my eyes. "Wow you really are something..." A hot and husky breath spoke against my neck. "Whaaa-SASUKE STOP!" I said angrily as my heart raced rapidly. "Ughh, and in the morning NARUTO!!!" Sasuke replied to my rude attitude which shut me up. "...Sorry..." I said in a worried tone. -sigh- "It's alright but...I should be expecting this from the world's greatest knucklehead, huh?" Sasuke pressures as he snickers at the last part making me blush.

"Woah~," Naruto says as I soon turn my gaze as to what he is looking at. It was a book, but a very very old book. And to be honest the edges were already turning black, maybe a fire or something harsh because this book looks like it's been through a lot. "Sasuke, let's check it out!" Naruto suggests, and yeah, I'm curious as well. "Okay...but...it could be a trap though just to warn you so...keep your guard up," Sasuke warns as he and I slowly but carefully move our way to the ancient book.

"Hm?" Naruto mumbles in confusion. "What is it?" I ask wondering what the hold-up was. "It says something weird..." Naruto says concerningly. "Give it to me!" I said fled up with this as well as being hungry. I snatch the old book out of his hands and read the ancient writtings.  

Konoha is a Beautiful and bountiful wonderland full of exotic plants and creatures. But this beautiful land was divided by the decision of both the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans. (Now Namikaze) as they dined to live in peace with each other because of the war that nearly happened because of the agreements between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan. Leading them to separate the land into two nations. But on one sinful day, the nine-tails fox appeared. (A great and powerful fox who holds limitless power and is feared throughout history.) Destroying and causing great devastation to Konoha. And with that, the two great nations had to work together to seal the nine-tails as it was too powerful to defeat. But by doing this the Uzumaki clan took the burden to seal it inside them. But the Uchiha clan thought of this as a selfish act for power so they could destroy the Uchiha clan and finally rule Konoha. And with that, Konoha was divided by the two great nations as they had been separated for one thousand years in harmony still unaware of the great danger that will fall among all of Konoha...

I look at Naruto with worried eyes as well as him to me. "This could change everything..." Naruto says slowly. "Yea...We have to fix this..." I say, stating the obvious. "...Were gonna save the world...from great danger...." Naruto enquires with a smirk on his whiskered face.
