Chapter 48: Uzumaki & Uchiha, linked by fate

Konoha Tea shop

The two cloaked strangers, their faces hidden by their straw hats, were sipping tea, while multitudes of civilians were about their day, or also enjoying tea. The taller of the strangers then began a conversation with his shorter companion.

"So, how does it feel to be home after so long, partner" he asked. The dark figure shook his head calmly.

"I don't feel anything, though it does feel better with the council out of the picture" The taller figure chuckled.

"Yep, heard my old friend" he said that in a sarcastic way "Mei-chan has just dealt with the idiots on my old civilian council. Shame, it appears this dump beat them, hell only Suna still has one" The shorter guy took a sip of his tea.

"I do believe it is likely that won't last much longer, but then again, the village hidden in the sand is Sasori's thing, not mine" the figure then took a bite out of a stick of Dango that had come from the meal.

"You can actually eat that stuff, teammate?" the figure finished the treat and rose an eyebrow.

"And you can eat steak?" the tall man shrugged.

"I guess you have a point there, to each man his own" Kisame chuckled, before two new figures entered the tea shop. To these people, the shorter guy appeared as surprised as he had ever been.

"Um..." his taller teammate questioned, as his shorter one was staring at the entering duo of Mikoto and Fugaku, like he was seeing ghosts, and truth be told that was a prompt train of thought.

"My bad, Kisame-san, it is that those people who just entered, are supposed to be dead" This, Kisame appeared to be confused at this, until he looked at him, and his eyes became the Sharingan briefly. Kisame now got the message.

"So, Uchiha then, Itachi-san" He looked serious.

"Yep, and my parents" the man got up, leaving a bill and pay behind "Let's go, Kisame-san. Things are getting weird, and we have a Jinchuriki to capture" the duo commenced to leave, though Fugaku noticed Kisame as he left.

Land of Fire Roads

The mission team of Naruto, Jiraiya and Dan were walking down a well trodden road, apparently deep in conversation.

"I wonder how Tsunade-chan has changed, god she must have gray hair by now" Dan sighed. This was going to be awkward, would she be cougar like these days? Jiraiya chuckled.

"Trust me, Tsunade-hime, looking old, you'd have a better chance of getting a Nara to stand up against his wife" he smiled "I met her a few years back, and she still looks the same as the day you died...man that sounds awkward?" Naruto appeared to be shocked.

"Wait, so we aren't looking for some wrinkled old granny!" Jiraiya chuckled.

"Nope, Tsunade-Hime's still as attractive as ever, though I'll leave her to you, Dan-san. After all, your the only one who could handle a woman who can destroy a mountain with her fists" Naruto's eyes were wide in shock.

"That's because, unlike you, Jiraiya-sama, I don't peak on her in the hot springs" Dan shook his head, with Naruto glaring at the sannin.

"Hey, have some pity for me, that's the only time I've ever been close to death. I had to remove my Gall Bladder a few years after that incident...though be a quiet attractive nurse" he mused, not realizing this was an altered memory via his seal that only another Uzumaki and his nutsy sidekick knew of.

"Um...getting off the subject of our dangerous quarry, I do believe that while we're out on the road, it would be a good time to teach you, one of my most used, most feared, and most powerful jutsu!" Naruto's eyes were wide.
