Kaori and Naruto felt someone shaking them, "It's not well to sleep out here, you might catch a cold." at the foreign voice they shot up with swords drawn and the person was shocked at them and held their hands up, "I am terribly sorry for startling you both." The person had long black hair to their lower black and a soft smile on their face, they assumed it was a girl. The two notice they haven't put their swords away and sheathed them and sealed them away, "Forgive us we are just well alert." the girl smiled at them, "That's okay."

The two noticed her basket, "You picking herbs for medicine?" Naruto asked her and she smiled and nodded, "Yes they're for my uncle. I'm Haku by the way." the two smiled and returned their names, "I'm Naruto and this is my Nee-Chan Kaori." before they can continue a voice rang out, "Haku you around here." the boy that cured Naruto came out from some trees, "There you are cousin." he comes up to them and sees the other two, "Hello I'm Hakōbune but just call me Hakō." he waves at them. Naruto blushes remembering him, "You're the guy that kissed me!" he exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at him, "Oh right. You have cute, soft lips." this cause Naruto to blush more. "Well let's get back to collecting herbs." Haku says and Kaori steps in, "We'll help too." she grabs Naruto and they help pick herbs.

~Back at the house~

Everyone was awake and Tsunami noticed the other two aren't there, "Did they not come back last night." she had a look of concern and Naomi smiled, "Don't worry Tsunami-san they can take care of themselves. But me and Kairi will head out to bring them back." Tsunami looked relieved and went to cooking breakfast while the team went to the bridge to protect Tazuna.

~Back with Naruto~

"Naruto, Kaori?" Haku called for them and they looked to him, "Why are you training, for yourself or for someone else?" they looked confused but then got what he meant, "We are training for a little boy who lost faith and courage." Haku hmmed and Hakō asked them something, "Do you two have someone precious to you?" they looked at him and got a determined look, "Of course we do." Hakō and Haku smiled, "Then you'll definitely become strong. For when someone has someone that is precious to them they get stronger in order to protect them." Haku says standing up and leaving with Hakō before turning back and saying, "Oh and I'm a boy." he then left leaving the two to think before coming to conclusion, "He's a trap like Kairi-Nee-Chan." they turn around and saw Naomi and Kairi coming up, "Hey you two come on we got to train and then eat." Kairi says and the two nodded then went with their sisters.

~Later that day~

The family returned to the house with Naruto and Kaori exhausted. Team 7 came in and sat down at the table and Tsunami sat down dinner and they began to eat. Halfway through dinner Naomi asked Naruto and Kaori how training is coming without then and before they can reply Inari spoke, "Why?" Naruto looked at him along with the family, "What you say kid?" Inari gritted his teeth and stood up slamming his hands on the table, "WHY ARE YOU ALL TRYING HARD TO BECOME STRONG!?!? THE STRONG WILL ALWAYS WIN AND THE WEAK WILL BE KILLED!!!!" he shouts looking down and Kaori scoffs, "Tell that about yourself no ones gonna kill us until we fulfill our dreams." this got Inari more mad then say something he shouldn't have, "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE NOTHING AND SUFFER!!!!"

Everything was quiet until the sound of skin against skin was heard. Kaori had slapped Inari and he was holding cheek while tears were coming down his cheek. Naruto spoke while his bangs covered his eyes, "Suffer? Having nothing? You wouldn't know what I've been through or my Nee-Chans. You haven't tried to survive assassination attempts so such your damn mouth!" he says and Naomi intervenes, "Naruto, Kaori go to the room and wait for me with Kairi." They stood up and went off to the room. Naomi watched them leave and looked to Inari, "What they said was true. Cry for all we care but we will strive." she stands up and goes to the room, "Forgive us." everyone looked at them and were shocked. The family looked calm and collected but one thing caused them to change demeanor and they could've sworn their eyes changed color. Inari left and went to sit on the dock and Kakashi followed to talk to him.

~With the Family~

Kaori and Naruto were trying to collect themselves but their eyes were burning and they tried not to cry. But once Naomi entered and was close to them they hugged her and let the tears flow from bottling up their emotions on the subject. She shushed them and took them to the roof so the others won't hear or see. Kairi followed.

~With Inari~

He was sitting on the dock looking at the water when Kakashi came up, "May I sit with you?" Inari didn't say anything but nod. Kakashi sat down next to him, "Don't take what they said badly. They are just very sensitive to the subject and each other. They grew up without parents, Naruto doesn't even know his parents." Inari looked up at him in shock, "In all honesty they can relate to you. How it feels to be weak, but they don't let it bother them. They smile and train on." Inari had a thoughtful look but was distracted by a beautiful voice and sound.

~Inside~

Tsunami was cleaning up with Sakura's help and Sasuke was sitting down. Tazuna was drinking and they heard an angelic voice from outside and went to see what it was and looked to the roof and saw-

~On the roof~

As Naomi holds Naruto and Kaori they stopped crying and got tired. After everything she felt like singing for them and used her realistic genjutsu and had a harp and violin that began to play.

Kairi entered in to sing them to sleep.

Our young lady, grow and see

As the music stopped and they saw that they had put them to sleep then noticed everyone else looking at them. Kairi glared at them and picked up Kaori while Naomi picked up Naruto and they shunshined into the room and laid them down side by side. Then slept on the outside of them and let them snuggle into them and fell asleep.

~Outside~

Everyone was shocked in awe at their voices and had no idea that it was beautiful. They broke out of their shock and went back into the house to sleep and they dreamt of the angels named Naomi and Kairi.
