"You want to tag along, huh?" Jiraiya said.

"Yes, you are going to train Naruto on the way. I think it will be best to get Sora out of the village and let her process what has happened. What better way than to tag along with you and train her as well along the way? Plus, I can help you find her," Tatsuo explained.

"you can come along," Jiraiya said.

"thank you master Jiraiya," Tatsuo said.

This led to Sora travelling with Naruto looking for the new Hokage and a person to heal Lee. Sora and Naruto walked side by side, their sensei walking in front of them, chatting. Sora kept her gaze on the ground while Naruto kept asking what Jiraiya was going to teach him. Sora let out a sigh, drawing Naruto's attention.

"what's got you so down, Sora," Naruto asked.

She didn't reply despite the fact he had now moved on to bugging her about it. She felt herself becoming annoyed, only for Jiraiya to speak up.

"Are you forgetting the Hokage was her Sensei since she arrived in the village," Jiraiya said.

Sora tensed, and Naruto stopped looking at Sora, realising why her mood was so rotten. But that wasn't the only reason, Tatsuo had told Sora she could have killed herself when she lost control and she could feel it, the toll it took on her.

Plus, Orochimaru was still out there waiting to capture her again, and she now knew it was pointless listening to him. He would do whatever he wanted and hurt whoever he needed to get what he wanted, no matter what it took. Even if he said he wouldn't hurt people if she listened, he still would, so her next option was to become strong enough to stop him and protect them from him. But she knew she wasn't even close to that yet, not when she couldn't use her powers without risking her life. It seemed like an impossible thing, but being next to Naruto made her want to keep trying, remembering his fight with Neji and how he refused to give up, it rubbing off on her.

They kept walking Naruto, going back to bugging Jiraiya while Sora looked at Tatsuo, wondering how he was going to train her and help her gain control of her power. She was scared there wasn't much he could do; she had lost control, and it seemed impossible. The group had finally made it to a small town. Tatsuo and Jiraiya were approached by a lady who flirted with them, and Sora and Naruto were sent to the Hotel.

As the woman tried to flirt with Tatsuo, he politely refused, directing her to Jiraiya, who was happy to oblige.

"Why are you so stubborn," the lady pouted.

"He is still so loyal to his deceased wife," Jiraiya said.

This made her stop bothering him, finding this loyalty sweet. Tatsuo sighed as he thought about her, looking down sadly, remembering how he failed her and his family.

Meanwhile, Sora and Naruto sat in the hotel room. Sora sat in the bed, meditating and focusing on her chakra. Naruto looked at her, deciding to follow along, not wanting to sit there and do nothing. Sora peeked one eye open and saw Naruto starting to make shadow clones. She gently sighed, returning to meditation, though Naruto grew more irritated.

There was a knock on the door, drawing both of their attention. Sora looked at the door, and Naruto got up, assuming it was their sensei's. However, as he went to open the door, Sora got a bad feeling.

"Naruto wait," She said, getting up to stop him.

She got behind him as he opened the door, her eyes widening, not seeing their sensei standing there. No, it was a tall man with black hair and eyes like Sasuke's who stood there. He resembled Sasuke quite a lot. Naruto was frozen, and Sora panicked as another man walked out. He had blue skin that resembled a shark.

"Who would believe a kid like you would have the nine tails," Sharky said.

This made Naruto tense up even more. Sora moved in front of him, pushing him back in a protective manner.

"Who are you two, and what do you want," Sora said, glaring at them.

"Naruto will be coming with us," The Sasuke look-alike said.

Sora's eyes narrowed as she pushed Naruto further into the room. Her protective side, which had only started becoming strong, now came out.

"I won't let you," Sora said, never taking her eyes off them.

Sora performed hand sighs, hitting her hands to the ground. A line of ice rushed at them, spikes shooting up from it. They jumped back as the ice soon disappeared. Sora dragged Naruto out so they weren't trapped in the room anymore.

"Itachi she is being an Issue, should I kill her and then cut off the boy's legs so he can't run," Sharky said grabbing the hilt of his large sword.

Sora tensed, taking a stance and keeping Naruto behind her. Naruto still being frozen in shock and fear. Sharky began taking steps towards them as Sora stepped back, moving Naruto with her, noticing they were being pushed to the dead end of the hallway. She wanted out of the room so they wouldn't be trapped, but they still were. She had to think fast to get them out of this situation. She didn't want to fight these two; just being in their presence was suffocating their power, far surpassing theirs.

As Sharky took another step forward, Sora shot an ice pillar at him, only for it to be shattered by his sword, making her eyes widen; her ice wasn't easily broken. Their pure power was as suffocating as Orochimaru's, scaring Sora, knowing she could never stand a chance against people of that level. Their only option was to find a way out and run for their lives. Sora looked around desperately, looking for an exit, any way to escape them, but there was nothing. As they went to take another step towards them, a familiar person showed up.

"Long time no see," A familiar voice called out.

Sora looked down the hall to see Sasuke glaring with his sharigan.

"Itachi Uchiha," Sasuke said, hatred in his voice.

Sora looked at Itiachi, not surprised he was a Uchiha as well.

"The Sharigan, huh? And he looks like you quite a bit. Who is he?" Sharky questioned.

"My younger brother," Itachi said.

This made Sora tense up hearing the stories about the Uchiha massacre, he was the one who did it only leaving Sasuke alive but she never realised that it was Sasuke's older brother who did it. It suddenly became apparent why Sasuke had such darkness in his eyes. This realisation also hit Naruto as Sasuke declared he would kill Itachi.

Itachi turned around to face Sasuke, making Sora tense. She prepared to attack, fearing what he was planning, but as she did, the massive sword swung at her, barely missing, now being held to her neck.

"You stay put," Sharky said.

Sora watched as Sasuke fired his Chidori, running at Itachi and destroying the wall beside him.

"Stop, you idiot," Sora called out in a panic, knowing none of them stood a chance.
