Before The Dawn *book 2 another world

chapter 17: asumas demise

Villagers worked together, hard, fixing broken buildings from the attack. Min watched it all as she walked down town. Min and sophia visited naruto and sai while they laid in hospital, and now Min worked her way towards the hokage building listening to people work

Min carried herself up the large stairs to the hokages office, where tsunade sat, her desk empty from paperwork "lady tsunade" min bows

"Min, I didn't think I was seeing you today" tsunade said taking a swing of sake

Min takes one look at the paperwork all set aside "it looks like you caught up with paper work"
Shizune smiled with her eyes closed "I have never seen her like this, she has never taken her work so seriously"

Min lightly shrugged her shoulders. While tsunade agreed vocally "that is true" the lady hokages eyes glazed over, her mind rembering something, something unpleasant the lady held her cup with a tight grip "damn!"

Shizune held a finger up like she had figured something out "almost forgot. A report just came in from the- uh uh man you sent looking for jiriayah. Here" shizune held a clipboard out for tsunade
"His report? So hes back?" Min smiled at the report as tsunade takes it from shizune

Tsunade looks over the report, when she finished she got up from her seat and stood by the window over looking the entire village

"Im sure you are dieing to see kakashi, min, you may go" min felt conflicted, she wanted to stick around but how dare she deny seeing her husband "yes my lady" min boaed taking her leave. Min knew tsunade was remembering being chewed up by the elders of the village

Sophia sat by the outskirts of the village, looking over the fields, wind nipping at her face

Looking down at her hand, her ring glistened against the sun

Sophia turned away. She searched the clouds, like she was looking for answers to untold questions. Her eyes closed for a moment, even with her eyes closed she could still see the outline of the sun rays from under her eyelids "nothing" the girl sighs

The sun slowly disappeared behind the many hills, reluctantly sophia headed back, knowing with kakashi was back, she wasnt going to be seeing min

The next morning sophia met up with kakashi, yamato, min and naruto at a clearing "sup!" All eyes fell on her "sup soph!" Min greeted the girl with a smile

"Sophia-chan? Why are you here?" Naruto asked

"To watch, duh" sophia grinned walking up to the group

"Well now we can get back to it" kakashi guided everyone back to naruto "so first, we will go over the basics" naruto shook his head "forget the basics! Come on lets skip to the part where I work on my new killer jutsu"

Yamato made a noise in the back of this throat sharing a look with kakashi as naruto danced "you know the super deluxe naruto uzumaki rassengan or whatever its called"
"Oh boy" kakashi sighed
Min giggled rubbing her husband's back "you got this shishi"

Yamato turned his head to hide the laughter he hid behind his hand, sophia caught notice and smiled herself. His nickname does make people laugh, but min doesnt care, sophia thinks so anyway

"Before that lets review the change in chakra nature alright? Fire, water, wind, lightning are the five chakra natures. And in your case-" yamato was interrupted "oh I know, I got a wind chakra!"

Kakashis eye closed "Okay just show us what we'd done so far" sophia took a seat on the floor, min followed suite

"Alright! Multishadow clone jutsu!" Hundreds of narutos appeared on the field all working on trying to break a leaf
