"This isn't how I expected to spend my recovery." Yuki says while watching the clouds pass by.

She had taken to cloud watching after the incident as she claimed it helped clear her mind. She could often be found in the fields where the nature dragons grew their crops or under the trees of the harmony dragons.

"Well, this is where those of the clan go to recover from traumatic experiences so get over it." Tsubasa says while crossing his arms as he stands next to Yuki while she cloud watches.

Once Yuki had returned to the village she immediately was rushed to the hospital where she was treated for any wounds she had gotten while captured. She was then transferred to the Doragon compound where she was then looked over by the clan medics before being taken to the dragon realm to recover mentally.

While being looked over by both the village and the clan's medics, both reported that she might develop PTSD from the event but other than that she was left unharmed aside from the bruises that had formed where the chakra rope and chains had been.

"How long do you think it'll take? Recovering mentally I mean." Yuki asks Tsubasa while briefly looking away from the clouds to take in his response.

Noticing her attention had been drawn towards him, Tsubasa tried to give her a response that reflected not one of a medic but one who had been threw something traumatic as well.

"You'll never fully heal, not really. The wounds of the body heal and leave scars behind to tell you that it happened; that you prevailed. Scars of mentality are the same. The memory of what happened will always be there, but you'll develop ways to work around the scars and limitations that arise as you continue to recover. For how long it'll take; that's all up to you."

Yuki was silent for a while, taking in what he had said before nodding.

"I guess you're right."

"Of course I am."

"What do you mean blackmail? What do they have on us?!" Homura shouts angrily at the discovery that the Leaf will have to bend to the will of the Cloud.

As of the moment, the Hokage, the elders, and the Daimyō where trying to figure out the best way to go about the Cloud kidnapping. So far, it wasn't going well.

Tsunade sighs before spitting out the answer with an annoyed look on her face, "Danzo."

It was then the two elders realized how deep of a situation they were in because of the old war hawk who was conveniently no where to be found.

"Well, what do we do now?" Exclaimed the Daimayō while waving his fan around in a panic.

// Doragon Clan Gate //

Bang! Bang!

"Hello? Anyone up there?" Shikamaru shouts up to the top of the gate.

It had been a week since they had come back with Yuki and she was rushed to the hospital. To say he was worried about her would be an understatement. The girl was almost gang raped for goodness sake! It was this worry that brought him to the gates of the Doragon Clan.
