It's been three years, Amani Hyuga has changed. In fact everyone has! After a three year mission, she and Uzuki has returned. Her curse has grown and with it her powers. How will the boys react to her return? What is going on with the sand village...
Amani was confused, the day before had just made her feel deeper for the four ninja men. She found herself needing a distraction, like a mission. Alas it was the late hours of night and if she was to have a mission it wouldn't be until the morning. Sighing she headed for the hokage mountains to watch the stars. As she arrived she found herself watching the shadows. Her lips were parted as she saw the form of a familiar beast and bit her lip.
It was for the best. She is safer there.
She felt a tear escape her and wiped it away. Sitting down, Amani hugged her legs as she watched the stars. The loneliness was creeping up on her. She looked over to the gates and saw three figures approaching. Recognising their chakra, she jumped down.
The guards watched curiously as three figures entered the village. One was carrying a large package on their back. Amani entered and smiled at the guards before beckoning the ninja to follow her. Amani took them back to the stone face and sat down.
"How was your journey?", she asked Yuna, Akane and Shikana. The three ninja looked at her.
"It was interesting. That temple captain, that was a strange place", Shikana mumbled, "though I got this awesome scroll to learn a new shadow jutsu".
Amani smiled at her and turned to the others. "And what blessing did you two receive?", Akane held out a pair of gloves that had a small glow around them.
"The priestess that greeted us said this was to help my transfer jutsus. I would help my range as well as my focus. It's pretty badass", Amani giggled at the blonde.
"I got this new set of shuriken, the priestess said that they cast a shadow of chakra that explodes on impact", Yuna grinned.
Amani nodded in approval and raised her brow at the large package on Akanes back.
"Oh! The priestess said I was the deliver this to you captain Luna", he slid it off his back. Amani crouched down and opened it slowly.
Inside she found several items. New weapons, scrolls, a weird orb. She saw a small book and opened it. It revealed to be a photo album and she saw pictures of a baby. She bit her lip and turned to the team.
"Did you by any chance see a young child?", her eyes were filled with concern. She will be one and a half soon.
"Yes my lady. Minarinn is healthy, the chakra she holds is intense but she seems like a happy child", Shikana spoke. They had heard what the priestess had told them and they were now loyal only to Amani.
Amani nodded as her finger traced over a small picture of her daughter.

"You now know why I sent you to the temple?", Amani asked. Akane nodded and got to his knee.
"Yes my shadow priestess. We have taken the journey and sworn the oath. Our loyalty is to you and you alone", Amani nodded and sighed.
