-=Reunions,Trust and Past=-

"Hey, bro! Let's give them some space, and i need to talk a bit with you anyway..." Said Naruto, to the still depressed Menma.

"Sigh~, Fine" With a downcast voice, Menma replied

"You aure are a sore loser..." Said Naruto suddenly

"What! What did you just say?" Angrily asked Menma

"Instead of brooding like Sasuke, why don't you do something about your... situation?" And with that, Naruto walked away leaving behind a stunned Menma.

"You coming or not?" He asked as he looked backwards

Menma could only smile bitterly

'Why do i need my little brother's help in such matters? Shouldn't it be him asking me for help instead?'

-=-

"So~, Let's get the presentations out of the way, Ikki this is Menma, my brother.

Menma, this cute thing here, is Ikki, My girlfriend"

[Can't you be a little less cheesy, Kit?]

'I can, but i dont want to, it is fun this way'

[You and your distorted sense of fun...]

'Yeah, yeah... Say whatever you want'

"Uhh... Hi?" Awkwardly started Menma.

"Hello again..." Plainly answered Ikki

"Huh? hey don't tell me this idiot is the other Uzumaki you said you encountered before?" Theorized Naruto

"No... i once found him hanged baked in the gate of a village, after i made fun of him, he kept throwing things at me with his teleportation seals..." The first part of Ikki's sentence made Naruto snicker, but that rapidly turned into a cold face as he heard the second part.

"Hooh~?" With a 'care to explain?' look and ice cold eyes, Naruto looked at Menma, who was actually intimidated right now, he never felt spiritual pressure before as he fought Naruto before he used his sword for the 'first' time.

"Lo-look... i di-didn't mean a-anything by-" Menma was interrupted as he needed to jump backwards, a chain shot from the ground were he was just standing.

"Oy! That was dangerous, What if it hit me?" With a shocked expression, Menma questioned

"I wouldn't care, That is what would happen" Naruto hid it really well, but he is still mad at Menma for attacking him. Especially because he had to reve*Cough* had to rely on luck and 'new' abilities to win...

"You can't be serious... right?"

To Menma's question, Naruto only smirked.

Then a game if cat and rat began, Menma didn't want to make a ruckus or Jiraya would run back, and Naruto was only being childish, so he was not attacking seriously. At some point Naruto changed places with a clone and went out with Ikki.

"I have something to talk with you about..." He said seriously, prompting Ikki to also be serious.

At the same time, the reunion of three old teammates, was happening in a not so friendly way

*Boom* Tsunade's punch missed Orochimaru's head by centimeters,

"Tch... Stop running away, you coward!" Tsunade said annoyed

Orochimaru however, only started to run faster in Kabuto's direction, Noe you may ask, What can a pokem*Cough* what can Kabuto even do to Tsunade? Nothing! but he can help Orochimaru summon Manda.

"""Summoning jutsu""" The three sannins said at the same time,

Strangely, instead of attacking Orochimaru when he was trying to summon Manda, Jiraya and Tsunade decided to summon their own summons... make sense, right?

"Lady Tsunade, what can i help you with?" Katsuyu said in a gentle voice... her only voice tone...

"Orochimaru, why did you summon me? don't forget about the sacrifices that anything will cost you!" Annoyed, Manda said.

But he had to jump backwards as seconds later, a sword passed by where Manda's head was.

"Tch... and here i tought i could kill this bastard once anf for all..." Grumbled Gamabunta as his sneak attack failed...

"Don't worry! we have all the time in the world to beat Orochimaru and Manda this time, So Let's get this reunion party started!" Said Jiraya much to Gamabunta's delight

"HAHAHA! You finnaly summoned me for something good! i can't wait to skin that snake!"

While they were alk preparing for a fierce fight, Tsunade had a sudden thought

'Why do Orochimaru always tries to learn every jutsu in the world, but when he fights he aways uses snakes and summon?' A thought that made sense, but unfortunately, we will never know...

Elsewhere

"ITACHI! I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" Screamed an Emo that thinks less than he changes his wardrobe.

"..." Without saying anything, Itachi only stared at Sasuke

"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!" After he said that, Sasuke started to make hand seals.

Izumi, who was hidden from Sasuke's view, only had one thought

'This is not going to end well...' and her assumptions were proven true

"CHIDORI" Sasuke then began dragging his chidori on the wall, what a jerk! but anyway, Itachi quicly beats Sasuke up, but intead of 'Tsukuyomi'ing the living sh*t out of Sasuke, he did nothing. His hands faltered a second, giving Sasuke enough air to try to be like Sakura again, but his words stopped on his neck, as he saw Itachi's pain filled face

"Sasuke... i wish i could just tell you the truth... but i am not sure of it myself anymore..."

Sasuke's 3 braincells went into overdrive to try to decipher Itachi's words, but before he could think about it, Itachi knocked him out.

"Why did you say that? he will begin to distrust the village when he links your anbu past and what you said today..."

"That is not something we need to worry about, he isn't smart enough to link the dots Izumi... but it is really painful to think i did all of that for nothing..." Itachi said with an unreadable expression

The only way that Izumi found to answer that, was with a hug to comfort him a little, no words could help him and she knew that.

-=-

Naruto and Ikki entered a quiet clearing in the forest, they could go back at any time with his hiraishin so they did not care if it was distant from the village.

"What i need to talk with you about... is something really important Ikki, so can you please, promisse me to not talk about it with anyone?"

[Kit, are you going to tell her?]

'Kurama, i believe that when we met i said to you that trust is the base of a relationship, didn't i?'

[... indeed, you did]

'Also... can i ask for you to give us some privacy? you already know what i am going to talk about, but i want this to be between me and her...'

[...sure thing Kit]

/I will make sure he doesn't spy on your conversation\

'Thanks, ot would be hard to explain to him why i lied to him...'

/No problem\

"what is so important? But yes, i swear to not talk aboit it with anyone" Answered Ikki

'Not like anyone would believe it anyways...' Thought Naruto

"Do you believe in... reincarnation?" Naruto asked

"...What?!" Confused asked Ikki

"You know, life after death" Explained Naruto

"I know what reincarnation is! but what do you mean? are you trying to convert me to your religion or something?" Joked Ikki

"pfft... No i am not... I am asking if you believe in it..." Answered Naruto holding back his laughter

Smiling victoriously because of this, Ikki answered

"I already saw the previous hokages being brought back to life by that Orochimaru guy, why wouldn't i believe in reincarnation?"

"What if i told you... that i am someone reincarnated?" with uncertainty in his voice, Asked Naruto

"If it was anyone telling me that, i wouldn't believe. But since it is you... i believe in you" Answered Ikki

Naruto sighted in relief, and smiled lightly as he said

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"For believing in me"

"Thats obvious... uh... can you tell me about it? your previous life that is... can you?" with barely contained curiosity, Ikki asked.

Smiling at her attempts of trying to look unaffected, Naruto started his monologue

"Sure, why not?

I didn't have a name in my previous life, my sister called me Kitsu Meoshi (from Kitsune me o shita, tgat means fox eyed),

She also did not have a name, so i called her Usagin Mimi (From usaginomimi, that mean rabbit eared).

We lived in a ruleless place called district eighty, and we were hated because of our 'special features' and by that i mean, we had animal parts, just like our 'names' said, i had fox eyes and she had bunny ears.

Someday i can tell you my whole life story but resuming it, she was attacked by a monster we call hollow and ended up fusig with it, to save her i became the subordinate of a man called Aizen, after a lot of things, she was killed by the same guy that i died fighting, i dont kbow if he lived after the fight, as captain Aizen was there...

When i died, i felt my sister's soul here, in this world, so i forced my way in and ended up fusing with this body's original soul, mostly because hia connection with a fox, i believe...

That is also why i can use these abilities that do not use chakra in a fight, and yes i know you have been dying to know it but never asked" After the last sentence, Ikki had a shocked expression as she asked

"How?"

"I always pay more attention to you than i do to other people, and nothing can escape my eyes"

Ikki blushed at this remark, but regardless of that, shr asked

"So... did you find her?"

"I didn't yet... i know were she is, but to be able to find her, i need a lot of strength... but for me, this time is nothing if i can see her again... and also i have you now, so it is not as lonely anymore" Naruto said looking up, having a mysterious aura around him, in the last part of his sentence he turned his head to Ikki.

/if it makes you feel better, i can still feel the connection between me and her zanpakuto\

'It does actually, because i can know for sure she is still there... thanks Uzuryu...'

/No problem\

"uh... you said you didn't have a name right?" Ikki asked with newfound curiosity

"Yes, why?"

"So how did people other than you sister call you?"

"Oh, that... they alway called me by either my title or people that were closer to me called me Kitsu, but my captain called me Kitsuryu, because of one of my powers. he also called Usugin as Usugihoocho (hoocho is phoenix bird) because of one of her powers... on another note, Menma seems to have one of my powers, the copy eye of the fox, but he mutated it and it somehow works without him having any difference on his eye..."

"What does that have to do with you?"

"My soul may have mutated my mother's soul, and before she had me, he somehow got this ability..., Anyway lets go back, they must be finished with their respective reunions by now..."

Naruto said while looking up.

/Are you still thinking about him?\

'...sometimes, yeah... i wonder if he died, now that i know about other worlds and all these different energies like chakra and such, i wonder if i can go back? if he is not dead i can at least pay a visit to captain Aizen and see if he succeeded on his plan or not...'

And so, they made their way back, Naruto in deep thoughts about his past, and Ikki processing everything she heard.
