Book 3, final chapter: I'm home

The end, and the begining

It has been months, it has it been weeks? Time has flown by and I no longer care for it.

Let me catch you up on what has been going on.

When we returned from the Kage meeting we found Danzo's dead body, he will not be missed but we all had to act like it.

Tusande has awoken from her Coma and was now back to Hokage and I was removed from service though they said they may need to call on me again, like now for instance but we will get to that.

The Kages have joined forces to defeat the remaining Akatsuki who has been manipulated by Madara Uchina this whole time as well as his pawn Obito Uchina.

And that I was stuck in office as Hokage once again while the other went to fight in the war. So unfair.

I have been getting weekly reports on what has happened during the war, the dead rising, Madara taking control of the battle, Gaara saw his father and showed him that he has changed, who was apparently surprised that he had friends and a fiancé, and that soon, they would face Madara and the rest by the ocean.

I was supposed to sacrifice myself to end this war but how?

That was the question I was thinking when I walked into the Uzumaki manor after a late night at the office with paperwork and reports.

"Shit, what am I going to do?" I sighed as I plopped myself down on my bed, a hand wandering to the seal over my heart, how can I use this, if I am not at the battle field?

It was beautiful by design, the kanji for sacrifice over where the blood pumped in my chest as the vines that turned into two dragons flying away ran across to my other collarbone. I just hoped that it would work as it has taken years and years of chakra build up and many other things that it would be best to leave out to accomplish.

It was a sudden thud in my closet that had woken me from my depressed state and I stood carefully, grabbing a kuni knife from my dresser and tip toeing to the door.

Yanking it open I was ready to defend my self when I saw a black cat playing with the large scroll that the Third Hokage gave me for my birthday during the Chunin exams, I never did open it like I promised the old man. Maybe it was time that I did so.

Leaning down I picked up the large scroll, it used to be so big on me, but now it was so much smaller, showing how much I have grown.

Placing it on the bed I dusted of the think layer that showed it haven't been touched or moved. Looking at the seal I bit my thumb and smeared the blood over it, causing it to turn red and emit heat as smoke was rising into the air.

I backed away as it rolled open, and smoke filled the room with a blinding light.

Waving my hands around I struggled to find the window, once opening it and the smoke cleared out I could see the back of a man, he stood tall and proud, his white coat flapping in the wind as I looked at the back of the blond head that stood taller than I was.

My face of surprised turned into an emotionless mask as my father turned around to face me. Blue eyes meeting blue.

"Hello Kiada."

"Evening, sir." My tone cold and clipped as I stood straighter as his stance was calm and relaxed, a complete opposite of my straight one.

If I had a heart it would be thumping wildly.

"Hokage huh, always knew you were made for greatness. But I never wanted..." His voice trailed off as his soft blue eyes saddened with Pitt, I hate pity.

"I don't need your pity. Why are you appearing before me now? Your dead." Blunt and to the point. Hopefully what ever jutsu is keeping him here wears out quickly, I don't need this headache so late at night.
