Hikaru stood in front of the Hokage. "I'm going to go to Otogakure." He quietly stated. It was the day after graduation, and Hikaru had woken up at 4 am due to Naruto's loud morning demeanor.

"No." The Hokage said. "You cannot."

Hikaru tilted his head. "Why?"

The Hokage stared at him. "Not yet. You should do that right before you kill Orochimaru... And Sound Four, was it? You might need a team for the Sound Four. Maybe another shinobi?"

"Hai." Hikaru sighed. "Who should I take and when should I go?"

"Hmm..." The Hokage chuckled. "How about you take Kakashi? He will need the break from his genin team. You guys will go the week after next, before the Wave mission. That's enough time to plan, no?"

"Mhm." Hikaru said. "I'll be going now. Bye." He opened the window and leapt off of it, continuing to walk once on the ground. Civilians started at him for a moment, but Hikaru kept walking.

He didn't know where he was going, but he just wanted to escape from his thoughts for a few seconds. Hikaru's feet lead him past Konoha, to the Nara's forest. He quickly jumped the wall, entering it.

The Nara Forest was where they got their shadow manipulation from. Shikamaru told him that one of the Otsotsuki was born with a shadow manipulation skill, and had married another. The other Otsotsuki had grown the forest for her, and she'd trained here everyday. When her children were born, they inherited the skill. Eventually, one of the Otsotsuki decendants had married into a clan made of geniuses. They called the clan Nara, and from then on the Nara's were shadow-wielding geniuses.

Shikamaru had said that the legend was a drag and troublesome. He had then proceeded to take a nap.

Hikaru walked up to a tree and leaned onto it, sitting down on the side that couldn't be seen from the wall. He yawned, curling up and leaning his head onto his knees.

He was tired, and needed somewhere to just... Think.

Hikaru hadn't figured out the exact way he would kill anybody yet. He knew Hidan could die from starvation, Kazuku died from killing all hearts, Tobi died from an extremely long war and Kakashi-

Hikaru shot up. "That's it! The Hokage will send Kakashi with me, and Ill back Kakashi up when killing Obito." He hissed to himself. The fight might go the way it had in his timeline, but they should prepare for injuries and other powers of Obito's.

Which meant he would have to show Kakashi the fight between him and Obito.

He needed to either use genjutsu or a Yamanaka.

Hikaru slid out of the forest, and went to his apartment building. Along the way, he ran into Team Seven.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto.

Hikaru steeled his nerves and emotions as Naruto immediately raced towards him. "Hikaru! We passed!"

"Good job, Naruto." Hikaru said, his eyes scanning the area. He didn't see Kakashi, which meant nothing really changed.

Sasuke looked at Hikaru oddly. One of his eyebrows was slightly furrowed, but his eyes were blank. This meant he was confused.

Naruto bounced up to Hikaru, his blue eyes shining. "I didn't introduce you to my team yet! This is Sasuke-teme, and this is Sakura-chan!"
