142 Dreams and Ambitions

"What do you all want to do? All of you have your own dreams. After the kids reach a certain age, they won't need 24/7 guidance anymore. I think, after that time, you can focus on your dreams." Akihiko said.

"Akihiko, are you alright? Do you have a fever?" Anko joked around as they all laughed together.

"Jokes aside, I'll just continue managing the Dark Side, Akihiko. Of course, in my spare time, I'm gonna train to improve my strength." Pakura said.

"I can make my shadow clones do all the work there, Pakura. It might tire you." Akihiko said as Pakura shook her head.

"It's fine. Managing the shop is quite fun. I like it. Thanks for worrying about me." Pakura said as she got up and quickly kissed Akihiko on the cheek.

"Hehe." Pakura giggled and sat back down.

"Pakura, do you still want to make Sunagakure and Kirigakure pay for betraying you?" Akihiko asked as Pakura just shook her head.

"Rasa is dead, Yagura Karatachi is dead. Since both of them died, I don't really have anyone to take revenge on, right? Also, after having this peaceful life, I don't think it's worth it. I've already moved on." Pakura said as Yugao, who was sitting beside her, gave her some pats on the back.

"That's right, Pakura. The best revenge is a life well lived." Akihiko said as everyone agreed and added their opinions.

"Thanks." Pakura said as she smiled.

"How about you, Mikoto?"

"Hmmm, for me, I don't really have any particular goal, but I would love to start a cooking class." Mikoto said as she smiled.

"That's a nice idea. Where do you want to open the class, Mikoto?" Akihiko asked as Mikoto answered immediately.

"We have some small houses in the Compound away from our main home. I can have the cooking class there. Also, we can increase the price of the course because they can also come and see where the "Hero of Konoha" Akihiko lives." Mikoto said as everyone chuckled at the end.

"I'll continue helping my father with Ichiraku Ramen. My father is already old. He should rest more and work less." Ayame said as everyone nodded.

"What a good daughter." Kushina said as she praised Ayame.

"Yes, I am!" Ayame replied with a smug smile and pride in her voice.

"Speaking of family, I'll just take care of the kids. They are just too cute. Also, I want to leave Brother Zabuza's sword at his grave." Haku said as Akihiko got up and grinned.

"I'll be back in a few minutes with the sword." Akihiko said as he disappeared.

There was silence for a minute before everyone giggled.

"He left immediately. I thought he would go and take it after we finished the conversation." Kushina said as Izumi added.

"But this totally fits his way of doing things."

"Yeah, it does." They all talked with each other for the next few minutes.

=====

Akihiko appeared in front of the door of the Hokage's Office.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in." Tsunade said with a tired voice.

Akihiko opened the door and went inside.

"Ah, Akihiko. I thought it was another person who came to discuss in preparation for the war." Tsunade said as Shizune added.

"Lady Tsunade, the situation is very important. The war is about to start in just a few days after all. Also, hello Akihiko." Shizune waved her hands quickly.

"Mhm, I came here because I have a question about Zabuza's sword?" Akihiko said as Tsunade sighed.

"You're not here to see me?"

"Lady Tsunade, please be serious at work time." Shizune said while she walked closer to Akihiko. TonTon was sleeping on a mat in the office.

"This is work time, so I'm trying my best to stay professional." Shizune whispered as Akihiko patted her head.

"Both of you are working very hard." Akihiko said as the two of them proudly raised their heads.

"Of course."

"For the sword, Kakashi has it." Tsunade continued.

"Thanks." Akihiko said as he appeared right beside Tsunade and kissed her on the cheek.

"Well, that was unexpected." Tsunade tried her best to hide her smile.

"You also get one." Akihiko said as he appeared beside Shizune and also kissed her on the cheek.

"Ah!" Shizune was surprised as he kissed her suddenly.

"I'm leaving now. I'll see both of you after work. Also, I'll end the war very quickly." Akihiko said as both Tsunade and Shizune said goodbye.

"Bye~"

Akihiko teleported away from the Hokage Office.

"Now, let's finish all of the paperwork. We can do this, Shizune!" Tsunade shouted at Shizune but Shizune was too stunned to speak. She couldn't believe what she just heard and tried to remove the genjutsu.

"This isn't a genjutsu, Shizune." Tsunade facepalmed.

=====

'Right, Kakashi is living with Hanare. I should respect their privacy.' Akihiko thought as he decided to knock on the doors first instead of teleporting inside the home.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Who's there?" Hanare's voice sounded from behind the door.

"Imagine Dragons."

"Imagine Dragons who?"

"Imagine Draggin- *ahem* Akihiko."

"Hello Akihiko-san. Please enter." Hanare opened the door and welcomed Akihiko inside.

They walked toward the living room and Hanare called for Kakashi.

"Kakashi, Akihiko-san is here!"

"I'll be there in a few seconds." Kakashi replied.

"Akihiko-san, would you like to drink some tea?"

"Thank you for the offer but I have to go back to my home right after I finish chatting with Kakashi-san." Akihiko explained as Hanare nodded.

"Ah, I see."

"Akihiko, do you need anything?" Kakashi asked as he walked down the stairs.

"Do you think that I would only come to you if I needed something from you, Kakashi-san? I'm quite hurt by your words." Akihiko said as he looked down and wiped away his non-existent tears.

"Yes." Kakashi replied mercilessly without caring for Akihiko's feelings.

"*chuckle* Jokes aside, I have a request, Kakashi. Do you still have Zabuza's sword? Kubiki-something."

"Kubikiribocho."

"Yes, that sword. Haku wants to bury that sword at Zabuza's grave. Is this alright?" Akihiko asked as Kakashi replied immediately.

"Sure. I don't have any use for that sword after all. But, can you seal that sword so that nobody can take it away? I don't want the sword to fall into the wrong hands." Kakashi asked as Akihiko smiled.

"Of course, Kakashi-san. I was planning to do that as well."

"Alright, I'll go and take that sword."

"Thanks, Kakashi-san."

"There's no need to thank me. We are friends after all."

Kakashi left to take the sword. At that moment, Akihiko thought, 'I should go and chat with Gai sensei later. After all, he's the first teacher I had in this world. He even taught me the Eight Gates.'

After a while, Kakashi returned with the Kubikiribocho and gave it to Akihiko.

"I'll have to leave now, Kakashi-san. Please invite me to your wedding. Also, I really hope you consider the names "Kakashi-junior" and "Hanare-junior" for your children. Bye bye."

"Bye. And those names are bad." Kakashi said as he just sighed. Akihiko just thought, 'Are they really that bad though?' and teleported back to the Uchiha Household.

"I'm back with the sword."

After this, they continued their conversations. Of course, they had to think of their goals properly for a few minutes.

For Kushina, she just wanted to stay at home while trying to find more fuinjutsu and have fun.

Yugao wants to create her own kenjutsu style and teach it to others.

As for Anko, she wants to open a dango shop. Even though she likes cookies, she still wanted to open a dango shop so that people won't forget the taste of dango after eating lots of cookies. After all, it was her favorite food before she ate a cookie.

Kurenai wants to continue teaching the genins so that they won't die in this harsh world. She also wants to improve her genjutsu.

As for Izumi, she still wasn't sure about her goals.

"I'll think about it. I don't have a proper goal right now." Izumi said as she just sighed.

[a/n: Actually, it's just me who doesn't know what to write for Izumi. Any suggestions?]

After that, the day went on just like usual.

—--

The next day, all five villages got the news that the war is going to start in a few days. The five villages were going to meet together.

All the citizens in the villages were chatting with each other about the war and discussing their thoughts. Some were worried, some were afraid, some were enthusiastic and some were sad about the fact that lots of people are going to die.

However, in the Uchiha Compound, there was a problem. The kids were screaming and crying out loud.

Why? It all started when they heard about the war and that almost everyone close to them had to go to war.

They started crying because they didn't want them to die….
