a small joke

"..." Kushina blankly opened her eyes as she opened her eyes while looking around in confusion. Sora smiled slightly as he looked at her, she only slept for 60 minutes, but she was fully restored.

"why does sleeping with you always make me feel so returned," Kushina said softly as had more energy than ever, she felt better than other times when she woke up.

"it's not about how long you sleep, but how to use sleep. anyways," Sora said calmly, Kushina was slightly speechless at how he said it, but she had to go get ready for a mission, so she said bye to Sora and left.

the next day came and Sora along with a group of ninjas left to act as reinforcement on a battlefield.

"Hey Teuchi, have you heard of the white Feng?" Sora asked while reading the new people, the people within the shop hearing the name of the White Feng.

"thats the top talent of the hidden leaf, not even the Sannin are his match." someone said with pride, The White Feng was only 26 years old, he was not less talented than the likes of Minato, and others. he was ranked among the strongest ninjas not in just the hidden leaf, but around the world.

Sora smiled slightly while listening to them start speaking of the might of the White Feng. Sora flipped through the new paper, something else caught his attention

"the hidden cloud village is using the 8 tails on the battlefield," Sora said softly, everyone was stunned Sora of course got the news headed of others, they didn't know of this.

"His name is Killer B, he had become tag team partners with A," Sora said calmly, everyone was stunned slightly

"why is the hidden leaf not using the 9 tail fox?" A few said in worry, Sora shrugged as he continued reading

"the hidden sand village has a talent who reached genin at the age of 7... this is shocking. his name is Sasori. he is known as a talent in the art of puppets." Sora said in shock, everyone was also shocked at hearing this. even someone like Minato became Genin at the age of 10

"haha, you guys will not believe me if I say that killer B is only 6 years old. thats a talent," Sora said with a smile as he looked on

"... so much stuff is happening, the hidden leaf is pushed back from the Amegakure. whats your guy's thoughts, is Hanzo stronger than the 3rd?" Sora asked making everyone quiet.

Hanzo was feared as Hanzo of the Salamander was a legendary shinobi and the leader of Amegakure. Hanzo was easily recognized as one of the strongest ninjas in history, and an icon to the whole shinobi world.

"the title as the world's strongest ninja was spread by Amegakure. I believe he and lord 3rd should be around the same power, but lord 3rd had a wider range of skills and abilities, giving him a wider range." someone said calmly, to which everyone nodded in an agreement

"what about his deadly poison. lord 3rd is not that skilled in meditation right? that means he would be at a disadvantage during the whole battle." Sora asked with a smile starting an argument among the costumes

time went on, Kushina didn't return to the hidden leaf for months. and when she returned, the battlefield of course had some effect on her mental state, she was only 11 years old after all. as a child, she was given some time to rest. but in her case, rest was eating and doing almost little work for said food.

everyone also gathered around her to listen about the battlefield, of course, she didn't go to some huge battlefield, but a small one which best suited her current capability.

This war has been going on for almost a year now, and it was only getting heated. Sora ever seen a war or lived through it, although world war 3 seemed to be about to break out before his death. she was just a sick 13-year-old forced on watching all kinds of shows before his death.

far away, Jiryal had begun to train 3 children he took in as his students. Nagato who was around 6 years old, Yahiko who was around 4 years old, and Konan who was around 5 years old.

the most talented out of these 3 was Nagato. a kid who had the eyes of the six paths, the rinnegan.

The Rinnegan meaning Samsara Eye is reputed as the most exalted eye amongst the "Three Great Dōjutsu". It is said that in times of disorder, one who wields the Rinnegan is sent down from the heavens to become either a "God of Creation" who will calm the world or a "God of Destruction" who will reduce everything to nothingness. The Rinnegan was characterized by concentric circles covering the eyeball.

Rinnegan contains extraordinarily powerful chakra and boasts enormous ocular power, such that an unworthy wielder risk "losing themselves" upon implanting one.

The Rinnegan can see chakra and its flow within the body, as well as otherwise invisible barriers, but cannot see through obstructions such as smoke bombs. Possession of the Rinnegan allows one to easily master any jutsu as well as all five basic nature transformations.

Jiraiya pretty much left the battlefield to train these 3 kids, the war had made these 3 want to top war and seek war. Their homes and family has been destroyed by these conflicts,

they were the lucky ones, many people have died in this war, and thousands of people have died. both elders and children, during a time of war there was no time for such things as feeling sorry for your enemies, the fact they let these 3 kids live was a mistake in a way.

these 3 will of course have a huge impact on the future, as for the better or good, who knows.

around the world, other shinobis which will have a huge effect on this world were making their appearance. someone Like Minato had begun training a secret technique known as the flying thunder god, the 3rd hokage believed this technique best fits someone like Minato.

Flying through god will allow one to instantly teleport to almost anywhere one has placed a mark. this technique was perfect for Minato, his reaction speed plus will make him the fastest man around.

Someone like Sasori from the hidden sand went on to show his unmatched talent on the battlefield, quickly gaining his title of Sasori of the Red Sand.

Kushina's title as red Red Hot-Blooded Habanero spread on the battlefield as well. her combat capability and her skills with the 5 nature transformation were shocking.

Tsunade's healing capability which had reached a new height spread far, with her on the battlefield, it was almost impossible for anyone to die. Although not on the level to regrow body parts like Sora, so long as one had a breath in them they will not die on her watch. all position injuries and illness became almost pointless before her

before Sora knew it, he was 16 years old. Sora calmly played with the ball, but a black-haired woman tried to catch it. her hands were flicked backward with huge force, as she dropped the ball to the ground,

as her hands began smocking, she looked at Sora with a deep frown, Sora just smiled as the ball bounced back into his arm. he had aimed for all of this to happen,

this black-haired woman was Teuchi's girlfriend, Aika. She gave Sora a huge pout, like Teuchi she was a chunin, but she was not that powerful. with how the war, Sora convinced her to return from being a ninja as it was too dangerous. with her skills, she was rushing to her death. but she had a strong will to fight for her village

"I will catch it this time." She said seriously, Sora sighed as he threw the ball to the ground. the ball bounced all over the walls, Aika followed the ball's movement before quickly turning to catch it when she saw it was coming towards her.

She screamed as she reached out to catch the ball, the ball spun in her hands, while she was pushed backward, but she was knocked backward as the ball fell to the ground weakly before it slowly began running before Sora.

Sora had Defense Prediction, which allows the user can interpret and predict enemy defenses and react to the incoming defenses, brush off or avoid the upcoming defenses.

Sora knew how she will react to all his moves, it's not like this was the first day they played this move. so he can use the right amount of force, not to overwhelm her or hurt her.

"How are you so strong..." She said in shock, Sora just smiled. they had a deal if she could catch his ball then she could head off to the battlefield, but she struggled to catch her footing instead with each admit.

Sora picked up the ball and calmly looked at her, Aika frowned deeply before giving up. Sora smiled seeing her finally giving up, moment later Kushina and Teuchi entered the stoor with the stuff they went to buy from the store.

Sora and Aika stopped playing around and got to work as the store was opening once more. Aika knew how to cook, she worked here part-time.

"Sora you have any plans after work?" Kushina who was now 14 years old asked with a smile, Sora eyebrow raised slightly

"No, I have nothing to do today. What's up" Sora asked calmly, Kushina nodded with a smile.

"I wanted us to go to this new park which opened up," Kushina said softly, Sora's heart skipped a beat this was a date. but he had to make Sora

"As a friend?" Sora asked softly, Kushina was instantly disappointed, clearly Sora still just wanted to remain as friends. even after all these years

"of course," Kushina said with a forced smile, Sora was instantly disappointed, Clearly Kushina just wanted to remain friends, even after all these years.

Aika was annoyed as she pulled out some monkey which she gave to Teuchi. Teuchi smiled and as he took the money, they had a small bet. whenever something like this happens and they just continue to friend zone the other, Teuchi will get 1,000 Ryo. but if they could finally start dating, she will get 1 million Ryo

Teuchi had made a 150,000 Ryo so far, if this could go on for a few more years then he would not care if he had to give her a million Ryo.

after work the two left and went to go to the park, although it wasn't a date, it seemed like a date to those who were watching them.

as for how a part would open up during a time of war, people, of course, needed work, so the hokage had to think of ways for the citizens to work. there were other people who also hired people to work, not everyone had a friend who was a ninja. so this war was not going to benefit them, they needed work quickly. Teuchi lowered the prices to help these people and even began hiring more workers to do some small works

"This park was not bad, it huge," Sora said with a smile as they headed back home, Kushina smiled as she happily eat the ice cream in her hands.

"you got something right there," Sora said softly as he wrapped the ice cream off the side of her checks. Kushina blushed slightly, her eyes became soft as she looked deep into Sora, who still had his hands on her cheek. it looked too romantic

"almost made you look like a shining tomato," Sora said with a smile, the romantic scene was broken with a few words, and veins appeared on Kushina's forehead.

a moment later, Kushina walked off with Sora buried in the ground. Sora slowly picked his head out of the ground as he rubbed the huge bump on his head.
