It took about two weeks to arrive to the closest hiding spot that you used in the past. You didn't rest until you arrived, and when you did, you slept for a solid twenty four hours to fully recuperate your energy.


The placed where you were staying at was an underground place, which you had constructed by your very own hands. It was surrounded with trees, bushes and a river that was close to it. It was far from any villages, so the only eatable things were wild animals, fish, fruits. You still had some seeds laying around, so with time and will, you'll have vegetables.

But you didn't have the will to do it, you didn't even have the will to fix things around the small room, there was a lot of dust covering the bed, any furniture you had. You didn't even bother or even cared about any bugs that may be occupying the bed, you simply threw your body on the ground and slept.

After you woke up, you went outside and just sat there. You were hungry, or at least your body was, but you didn't have the energy to go in search for any food.

Another day passed by, when a young man stumbled to the front of what you called house. He was injured, as if he  had been attacked and just barely managed to get out of the battle. But before you reached him, he was already on the ground unconscious.

With the little energy you had, you dragged the him to the bed, you looked at him at how injured he was. He was really bloody, and just it was a miracle that he was alive. Slowly, you began to transfer his wounds to your body.

In times like this, the only thing that gave you a purpose to stay alive was to help anyone. But deep down it was just a cover up, a cover up to the fact that deep down you hoped that during one of these transferals you would die.

As soon as you healed him, the male rose to his feet pushed you down to the sound and grasped your throat in his hands. He noticed that your body was trying to regenerate, and he didn't out two and two together to know what had just happened. Instead of strangling your to death, which wouldn't be too difficult since you were still weak, he stood up, raised a little his hands and stared at them.

He didn't say a word,  but just sent you a glare and exited the room and left.

It was two days later when you noticed and maybe even woke you up a little, that another person "accidentally" happened to stumble to where you were staying. For a moment you hesitated, but with the man dying you decided to save him.

However, as soon as this man woke up, his reaction was different. He was confused and puzzled, but after a few minutes of regaining some sort memory back or just a sense of where he was, he returned to where you were seating down. Which was outside, which you had  dragged yourself out.

"What...What did you do?" The male asked as he sat at your side, though he noticed how your eyelids seemed to want to shut. But he snapped his gaze behind some trees, his eyes widened as he glanced back. Instantly he did some hand signs, and then he turned to you.

You felt tired but your gaze was focused, and the man you had helped was not the very same man that was grasping your face between his hands. His dark hair swayed by the wind, while his dark eyes and warm roamed your face trying to find if you looked familiar to him. "What did you do?"  Though he was curious as to how you were draining his chakra, it was something natural.

Shutting your eyes, you pushed him away and rubbed your eyes.  "What...What happened. You're not the person I saved."

The man sighed,  "that's because you were under a genjutsu. Now please answer the question."

Genjutsu? But who? "Well," you tried to sit up straighter, "I transferred your wounds to my body and in doing so, I healed them for you. That's why you're not injured."


"Healed?" Just like the other one, he looked at his hands which looked so young, he raised then to his face to feel any sort of wrinkles but judging by how well and healthy he felt, he could only guess that he was young. "I wasn't healed, I was dead."

"No," you shook your head, "I cannot bring the death back to life...." But then you remembered Madara and Izuna, "That's not possible...and who would..."

The man furrowed his eyebrows, "that's what we need to find. What's your name?"

"That's beside the point, “in panic you looked around, "if I wasn't healing them...Then that means that...I've...Oh no."

"How many?" He rose up just as you stumbled, holding you in his embrace. 

"You'll be the fifth...The second one and third  were a bit hazy, I can barely remember. They took longer to wake up so I had to leave them behind..."

"If that's the case then someone was using you, and because of that you have no idea in how much trouble and possible danger you have placed yourself in."  He seemed genuinely worried, despite the fact that he had been long for who knows how long.

"Who are you?" Finally you asked, staring up at him and teaching to hold your own weight. So you pulled away from him.

"I am Hashimara Senju the first hokage of the Leaf Village." Grasping in horror, you stepped back. "We need to leave, if what you say if true,I can assume the others must have been Hokages. We have to leave as talk to the current Hokage.."

Shaking your head furiously, you tried to walk away. "I'm not going back, if that is true then a bounty Hunter is on his way to find me. It doesn't matter what you say to Naruto or...Or the council, the decision is not for Naruto to make..." No matter how much you looked at it, if you returned you could never look at Naruto and the others  in the eyes. You've made a mistake, a horrendous mistake. If you returned you'll be imprisoned for life, a life that as long as you never aged, would be eternal.   "I'll rather take my chances with the bounty Hunter than return."

You had trouble to even walk, but you tried to flee. But Hashimara had other plans, you seemed way too weak, and with the classic hit to the head, you went out cold.

He didn't waste any time, he threw you over his shoulder and made his way back to the Leaf Village. A few hours passed and he was feeling exhausted, and he knew that while he carried you, he wouldn't get far. But he kept on going until he was the one to collapse, so the two of you were left there laying the ground.

A couple of minutes later you woke up, feeling like your energy was replenished, though once you sensed little chakra left in Hashimara, you stood away. He was still alive, so that was good.

Silently and sadly, you left him there hoping that he would be safe. If he was right about reviving the Hokages...What...How would Naruto feel? You weren't very well aware of the Leaf Village's history, but you knew that one of the Hokages was Naruto's father. How would he feel when he found out that you brought his father back to life?

He'll never forgive you, would he?
