3rd p.o.v.
"Whaaat?!" All of the team was shocked even if some of them didn't show it.
"We passed?! Why?!"
"You guys are the first. Up until now, it's been morons who just listened to what I said" Kakashi reply with his usual smile.
"A Ninja must see through deception. In the ninja world, those who break the rules are called scum. But..."
"Those who don't care about their comrades are worse than scum."
"He's... He's... kinda cool." Naruto says with tears in his eyes.
"That's it for the test. Everyone passes!"
"Team 7 starts their missions from tomorrow!" Orochi announce
"Quick question! (Niki says lifting her hand) Did you reharsh all this cause you complete each other phrase." But everyone just ignores her and just focus on being happy.
"I did it! I'm a Ninja! Ninja! Ninja!"
"Eh! what?!" Taruko shouts waking up. You see he fell asleep when Kakashi and Orochimaru started reappeared. Everyone started heading home, well not everyone.
"I knew you guys would do this!" But he shuts up when Niki throws a shuriken and cuts the bonds.
~~~~Time skip~~~~
Everyone was at Ichirakus eating happily ramen when Izumo came in.
"Kakashi sorry to bother you but have you seen Niki-chan anywhere around?"
"How may I help?" Niki, who was laughing, pops her head out from behind Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama wants to talk to you." He says giving her a scroll. Our girl opens it and reads it.
"Understood. Thank you." She replies nodding with a serious look on her face. Izumo nods back and leaves
Niki p.o.v.
"Well, then it seems I got to go. The ramen is on me." I say and put down some money enough for all of the dishes even Naruto's. Before they can say anything I transport outside the hokages office. I knock and receive a faint come in.
"You asked to see me Hokage-sama?" I say entering the office.
"Yes, I have some missions for you. The first is at Suna, the village hidden in the sand. You will take a scroll there for the Kazekage himself. Then take it to the sound village for the leader to sign it." He told me
"Sir, can I request something?"
"What is it?"
"Well, I would like to live in the house that my family owns in the village. Also, I want to restart populating like my ancestors did."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the whole adopt people without nowhere else to go and need of a second chance. Plus when it will be time I will have to go with the members of my clan to our island."
"Alright, but in return I want you to promise me something."
"That is?"
"To protect and help the leaf village and to do the same thing with Naruto and his friends."
"Deal" I answer, the Hokage gives me some keys, he then gives me the papers of ownership of the clan house.
When I went home I told the news to everyone we packed our stuff and we went to our clan house. We each got our own rooms. I got one that was for the head of the clan. Since Eva was going to be an Uchiha for sure. It didn’t have a lot of furniture except for the basic ones. The walls were blue and there was a window in the ceiling, and the floor was wooden. It had three wardrobes, a desk and a chair, a double-sized bed and a TV on the wall. Lastly, there was my family symbol on the wall above my bed. After putting my stuff away. I went to the training grounds with the book of my clan.
~The next day~
I waked up from yet another nightmare from my past. I got up made my bed and did the rest of my morning routine. I looked out and saw that the sun had risen. I packed my ANBU clothes and food for Nagi and Max.
“Guys come on, wake up.” I told my companions as I tried to wake them up. Max was the first to open his eyes and stretch then Nagi. I then walked downstairs wearing my normal clothes since I didn’t want to get unwanted attention. I reached the kitchen and saw some of my family members eating breakfast.
“I am off to a mission, I will be back in about two weeks.” I declared and went out the door with Max by my side and Nagi roped around my arm. When I got to the Hokage tower I knocked on his door for entrance.
“Come in.” I went inside and saw Hokage-sama sitting down on his desk doing paperwork.
“Ah Niki, just in time here is the scroll.” He said giving it to me.
“Remember two weeks to come and go maximum.”
“Sir, may I ask something? *he nods* After finishing the mission may I go to the land of waves?” He thought about it while stroking his beard and nodded his head.
“Arigato Hokage-sama.” I bowed and left the room to head to the gates. I was ready to go out of the village when
“Hey! Niki-chan!” I turned around and saw team 7 coming my way.
“Hi, guys.” I said putting my hands in my pocket.
“What are you doing here Nik? We have a mission.” Taruko asked
“Well, I have a solo mission. Hokage asked me to do.”
“What?!” All of them asked
“Yeah, sorry guys I will explain next time!” I shout and waved at them while running.
After being a mile away from the village I changed into my ANBU clothes. We started running as fast as we could. We ran for almost 10 hours when it started getting dark. After giving each of my friends their food and eating myself we led down watching the stars.
‘Nik it is time to unlock another one.’ I heard Selina tell me.
“Buddy could you keep watch and wake me up if something happens?” Of course, they nod and I sit crisscross.
Then I get pulled in the world inside of me.
“welcome back Niki” Reto greeted me
“It is good to be back.” I reply smiling.
“There you are! I missed you!” Before I can do anything I am tackled on the ground from Selina.
“I think you killed her.” Minato told her as everyone gathered around. I tried to get her off of me but she continued rubbing her cheek against mine.
“Guys help!” But all I received was laughter then Sandaime got her off of me.
“So why are you here Niki-chan?” Hashirama asked
“Well, I am here because a new demon is going to be unlocked today. Plus it was rude of me not coming by at all.” I said rubbing the back of my neck
“Alright come on we need to open. Which one do you choose?” I looked over all the different caves and saw one that wind was blowing from it.
“Let’s try this fella”. I say and we walk through the cave entrance there I saw the usual cage but with crystals on the bars. In there I saw a hippogryph. When it saw us it started screaming and hitting the cage.
“You shitty human let me out of here at once!” He yelled trying to break free.
“First of all calm the down if you want to get out. Second, tell me your name. Third and last if I let you out will you try to take over.”
“Fine I am calm and my name is Sora no kyōfu. And why the hell should I trust a human? A human got me into this mess in the first place.”
“Look I will make a deal with you. I will let you out and I can protect you. I will let you out sometimes out, you only have to ask but a seal hold us connected so either way like it or not we are stuck with each other. Ok? The only that I ask not to try to use me.” The hippogryph stood there thinking quietly then he looked at me with his eyes that were as big as plates.
“Alright. Deal.”
I went up to the seal and removed it. Then the hippogryph came out in a smaller version and bowed, I bowed back in respect.
“Well then come on you need to meet the others.” We walked out of the cave and to the others that were waiting.
“Guys this is Sora no kyōfu”
“You can call me Soky.”
“Soky these are Hashirama, Tobirama and Minato the past hokages, and these are the past kazekages Reto, Nidaime and Sandaime. Lastly the other spirits I have unlocked Leo and Selina.” I introduce everyone as I pointed at them.
“Well, then I think you should go back to your body cause the sun has almost risen.” Nidaime told me.
“Already? Wow, times passes differently in here than outside. But I guess I should get going I have a long trip.”
“Wait if you want I can fly you over there it will be much quicker.” Soky told me
“That would be nice. Thanks.” I then went back to my real body. I stood up catching Max and Naggi’s attention. I then did the following hand signs ‘Snake-Bird-Ram’ and slammed my hands on the ground summoning Soky.
“Soky these are also some of my partners Max and Nagi.” I then gathered my things and put Max in my backpack while Nagi went around my arm. I then got on Soky back. He took off going up high in the sky.
“Where to Niki-sama?”
“Our first stop is Suna the village hidden in the sand.”
“Oh, I remember it I went there when I was alive.”
“When you were alive?”
“Yes, you see we the ones inside your body are different from the other tailed beasts. We were once alive, we did something great either bad or good but we were never remembered.” He explains to me.
“Really? Wow cool. So from which village were you from?”
“I was once part of the Genjutsu Tree Village. I was the one that found it.”
“I never heard of the village I only heard of the most known villages pretty much.”
“Well, there are many many villages.”
Some half an hour passed and we entered the desert meaning that we had only another half hour for us to arrive at the Sand village. I started getting a little bit nervous because I would meet the love of my freaking life. Gaara. He is just so perfect with his eyes and hair but also his personality he only needs love.
“Hey, Niki-sama you seem nervous. Your heartbeat is picking up. What’s wrong?”
“Well, there is this guy Gaara he is the host of Shukaku the one-tailed beast. I have only seen him from photos and videos plus I have read of him and heard about him. He is quite a guy, but he passed a rough past and I just want to be friends with him. That is why I am nervous I just don’t know if he wants to be friends with me.”
“Oh, so you have a crush on him.”
“Yes, I-I mean no...maybe.” I sigh not knowing what to do if I am now nervous imagine what I will be when I see him.
“Don’t worry he will fall head over heels for you.” Soky reassured me.
‘Well, whatever happens, I will always be there for him. Always.’
“We are here.” Soky told me pulling me out of my train of thoughts. I looked up and saw it.
“The village hidden in the sand.”
