"So, where have they been till now?" - After our short interaction by the entrance, I was invited inside and joined them for lunch. I couldn't eat much from what they had, but there were some juice and salad, so it was fine for now.

"They were in the world of their contracted Summons." - Tobirama replied with pride. I nodded with a smile. Yes, being contracted to a Summons is quite prestigious. - "Three years ago they preformed, without informing me, the reverse summoning. They were lucky enough to end up with more ore less friendly animals; Kirameku became contracted with slimes, while Komon - with toads. Just before you returned, they were called in to try and become Sennin."

Joy and pride were overflowing from his aura and face. Certainly, even if they didn't succeed in that endeavour, it was fine. Even being approved and taught how to do that was a huge privilege. This way. even if it might be dangerous to use, they might have a trump card that might end up saving their lives. However, learning on their own would be just absurdly hard and dangerous. Hashirama-nii is an exception to many rules. That guy managed to create quite a several techniques for his Wood Style, with a bit of help from Tobirama, but still. He is an exceptional genius and can't be included into consideration.

"That's great!"

"I know, right! Komon showed his summons to me previously and they were so cool! His Toads could use Ninjutsu and swords and even if they could bite, if they worked together with Komon, they could do other stuff too!"

"Slimes are just as great!" - Tsunade interrupted Jiraya's heated brainwashing about how cool a toad summon is with a fist on his head. - "They can heal, spit acid and other important stuff!"

The two cousins completely forgot that they were actually in the process called lunch and started off another argument. It was quickly put to stop though. Unlike the usual, it only took one icy glare from three people - Tobirama-nii, Kirameku and Komon.

"Toads are cool! I will contract them when Dad allows!"

"And I will stick to slimes!" - both of them humphed and continued to devour their food while staring daggers at each other.

"Hashirama-nii, how was your mission with Madara-nii-san?" - I asked the grinning retired Hokage who didn't involve himself much into any of the conversations today. Mito-chan and Fiji-san were also staying out of it, talking between themselves, while Tsunade's parents were just eating quietly. From their aura, I understood that this is normal and Tobirama-nii always acts as a stopper you can't get used to. Heh.


"Hm..." - He thought for a second, swallowing his food. - "It went alright! We managed to sign the Treaty and now they are officially out of the war. That strange attack with so many Shinobi at once was their final struggle."

Oh, the one where they had Chio as well, right? Yeah, it was an odd one. I mean, by this world's standards, shinobi mostly fight stealthily with gaining the most they can, but that one... it really did look like their final attempt to change anything with a new strategy. They even sent people as young as Sakumo and Dan to the front line. They failed though. We succeeded in defeating them while keeping most of them alive. Even if Suna was an enemy, they had some of the trade routs that our Daimio needed functional and for that, Shinobi are required.

"They agreed to our terms and will sell us their special poison for a fixed amount of time, as well as giving a good example of their tessens, puppets and medicine alongside an expert to explain. We will have to help them a little with the development of their Hospital and water sources. They didn't want at first, but Madara shut their mouths swiftly! He only glowed his eyes and they turned very obedient and were willing to cooperate." - He finished off with a snicker.

Madara-nii, in the end, we succeeded in bringing Hashirama to the dark and a bit rational side.

"Ok. So we will have to dispatch some personnel there." - I nodded. - "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing!" - He beamed; however, his aura began to cloud, as if he remembered something sorrowful.

Everyone at the table was half-listening to our conversation while eating and interacting with each other. Komon and Kirameku were sharing their progress on the path of becoming The Sennins, while their siblings finished their food and were now battling the urge to run out and settle some scores and the desire to sit here and listen to the stories from those different worlds.

"Hey, Hashi-nii, what happened?"

"Nothing." - He grumbled and as I was about to refute, he continued. - "Nothing pleasant, that's for sure!"

I raised an eyebrow and prepared to properly listen, pushing my plates aside.

He heaved a sign full of pain and finished his piece - "On you way back, we took a detour and headed for a village to rest. Or so we thought. Namikaze lived there and our clans were on friendly terms. They were planning on moving to Konoha soon, and yet, the fate decided otherwise. When we came, there was nothing but ruins."

That... certainly isn't good... I didn't receive any information regarding that area since I wasn't monitoring every small village and I didn't have to, but it did leave a rotten aftertaste in my mouth...

"We searched the premises and the village and found a few children that were hidden by their parents. Two of them were about five and seven and three were still kids under the age of four. There was only one Namikaze left. He is four now, and just like the rest, he is an orphan. We brought them with us and placed into a good orphanage, but..."

"Yeah..." - I sighed, - "It won't change the fact that their parents are gone."

The atmosphere around us turned a bit gloomy and the guilt weight on my heart a little. I could've prevented it if I monitored thing better. I could've, but since this had had already happened, I can't anymore. Swallowing down the bitterness, I just sighed and made some plans to remodel my activity on our Land.

I'm not perfect, but I have to try my best, right?

"Did you find out who was behind all of that?"

"Yup. Some Nukenins from Kumo and Grass. They weren't that powerful, but there many and a small clan as Namikaze wasn't able to survive. Madara took care of them already."

Good. They're better off dead.

"I'll be going now. Thank you for having me over!"

The lunch soon finished, I informed Jiraya and Tsunade about the continuation of our training and left. I haven't bathed yet and want to take a nap. Too many things were on my mind and I just wanted to hide from them for a little bit.

That talk about orphans and casual remark of Tobirama made my heart itch.

Everyone is destined to die and my friends are the same. They do in fact grow old and one day, they will leave. Nii-sans and their wives are no longer young. Madara and Izuna are walking around with light wrinkles on their faces and their chakra reserves are slowly starting to diminish. Tobirama and Hashirama look a bit younger due to their genes, but the age started to affect their chakra as well.

On the last mission, Tobirama was almost killed, due to his reserver being empty. If it was at his prime when we first met, he would recover in no time, but now... He needs at least a day to do so. Hashirama's vitality and strength are deteriorating with time. Mito, being the Uzumaki, has to be more or less fine, but because she has poisonous chakra inside of her, all of her genetic advantages are spent on keeping her alive. The chakra in Kyubii is too toxic to be kept by someone else apart from Uzumaki.

I'll free him when Mito's time will run out. If I try it now, she will not survive. It's too late even for me.

As I was preparing to go to sleep, I made up my mind. I won't waste my time anymore. I have to finish a few things and return to my world. Even if I cherish this place, I still have to return and accept my responsibilities there.

The title of the crown-princess and such, right?
