9 Yashina Village

The death of the strongest member of the bandit group was the final blow to make the remaining bandits lose all hope of winning. Meanwhike the chunin duo were just fine, though a little banged up by their previous fight they still manage to defeat the remaining bandits with some ending up dead. Those who are left alive would be sent to the hidden leaf village and be interrogated. After all the mess Mokichi picked up the broadsword Junichi was using.

Mokichi: This broadsword is really a chakra blade, it's much better than the kunai that I'm using with this he'll be really be able to cut metal in a half with lightning chakra flow in it.

Mokichi kept the broadsword he hopes to make use of it for good, and plans to have it melted and reforge giving it a new life with the purpose of protecting the hidden leaf and his family. Sure, there are chakra blades in the hidden leaf village that he could buy but the quality of the metal in the sword is much better, given the fact that it could cut through metal with just lightning chakra flow which he could barely do with his own Modified kunai with wind chakra flow in it.

Fuyuki rushed towards her son with Shizuku in tow giving Rei a tight hug.

Fuyuki: Rei, don't do that again you don't have to grow up so fast let the adults handle situation like this. -said with worry and full of tears.

Rei: But I was worried they'll cut down the mercenary big brother making us more vulnerable. -said flatly trying to justify his actions.

Fuyuki: No explaining! promise me till you become a proper ninja nothing like this should happen again! -said with a tinge of anger.

Rei: yes mom. -Rei reluctantly agrees.

Rei felt relief that the fighting is now over he didn't mind his mother being all protective and worried over him, that's just a mother's natural reaction seeing her child fighting adults with his little body probably terrified her more than anyone. Rei thinks that this fight was a valuable lesson for him he hasn't even attended the academy yet, but he could actually say that he's a survivor of one bandit ambush.

Rei: Now I survived my first real battle I'm not so sure what to feel about taking a person's life, though I did it in self-defense. I just hope things like this won't happen too much, specially now that I'm still this weak. Well it's a whole different story though if Dad's present, I wouldn't mind a few battles here and there as long as there's no kage level person present. Besides I think Dad's pretty strong although I'm not sure just where he learned that "water release" ninjutsu. - Rei whispered to himself.

Mokichi walked towards his family feeling bitter and happy at the same time. Bitter towards the fact that his family has to experience this kind of situation, it sorts of rubbed him the wrong way that he worked most his life as a shinobi to prevent this from happening to his family and wanting them to have a pleasant life. But he felt happy that they were all safe and seeing Rei being able to protect the girls of their family gave him a sense of pride.

Fuyuki walk towards his husband and gave him a hug.

Fuyuki: Why do these things happen? -said with worry and disappointment.

Mokichi: We had just a little bit of unlucky incident, but compared to others we're still considered fortunate. -He replied trying to console his wife.

Mokichi grabbed his daughter and carried her.

Mokichi: How's my little angel? -Asked with a look of concern and check if his daughter was ok.

Shizuku: dada! -she replied oblivious to her surroundings.

Rei: Dad that was awesome! how did you become two suddenly then throwing out a javelin from far away?! -asked with excitement.

Rei pretended he didn't know shadow clone technique he just really wanna find out about that water release.

Mokichi: That was shadow clone technique and that water release is something I picked up along the way as a shinobi. Don't worry I'll teach you once you have enough chakra to perform it. See I told you so son, your father's awesome! -he said with a grin looking proud.

Mokichi was happy that his son was impressed by his prowess as a shinobi, but he sweated a little when he talked about the water release he used. Since he picked it up in sunagakure years ago when he was doing spy work and he was gathering intelligence on the village itself, while shadowing young shinobi taught by the kazekage himself.

That time since the kazekage was extremely hard to shadow with his anbu guards, so he decided why not tail the student instead. As a student of a kage he's bound to learn something one way or another.

Since relationship of hidden villages are always separated by thin line any information he might be able to get that includes important people like the kazekage might prove crucial, if used at the right time. Surprisingly he wasn't caught by the security of the sunagakure since all hidden villages has a counter measure for shinobis not of their own.

Mokichi: oh right, Rei I'll teach you the shadow clone once you have enough chakra as well. It will be a huge help in training since after being dispelled or cancelled the memories of a shadow clone would be transferred to the user.

When you learn shadow clone, we'll make your clone train in bukijutsu perfecting your melee weapon technique and weapon throwing technique. We could only do that since as child you still don't have enough chakra then will push your body to the limits in taijutsu.

Rei: isn't that bad for me since I'm still four years old dad?

Rei was stupefied how could his father trained his young body to the limit, but he was happy about shadow clone technique, since he could make it do a lot of things and possibly multiply his learning speed. Provided he has enough chakra in the future he has already seen what it can do through Naruto before.

Aside from the multiple shadow clones that he probably can't do, because of chakra limitations, the way Naruto trained creating his signature skill wind release rasenshuriken and sage mode was ridiculously fast. Even with just one clone that's at least doubling his training speed, which is enough for him to try that training method as well.

Mokichi: Don't worry It's not gonna happen any time soon, but we'll do it to make your survival out here much higher. You've seen it Rei you need to become strong. -Mokichi said with a serious face to his four year old son.

Rei: ok, dad. -Agreeing with a straight face.

Kotetsu and Izumo walk towards mokichi thanking him for his efforts and saving their lives.

Kotetsu: Mister, what do we call you? -He asked eager to know his savior.

Mokichi: uuhhmmmnnn, Mokichi would do. -He reluctantly gave his name.

Izumo: owh, why aren't you wearing a shinobi head protector? -asked with a confusion,

Mokichi: I'm actually on leave from our force, see when you report back to our village just mentioned them my name and they'll understand.

Kotetsu: So, you're actually some big shot? -Said with a huge grin.

Izumo: oy don't ask things like that Kotetsu. -said haphazardly trying to stop his partner from prying any further.

Mokichi: not really, I hope this experience doesn't discourage you two, but fuels you up to become stronger.

Kotetsu & Izumo: yes, sir!

Their journey continued and finally the Miyazato family arrives in yashina village. The home town village of Fuyuki is quite peaceful and safe, given the fact that it was only two days away from the hidden leaf village. That's also the reason why Mokichi was confident on arriving here safely bringing the little kids along. But fate suggested otherwise, encountering that bandit ambush, Mokichi now has to report it when he gets back and hope for a mission of elite shinobis sweeping bandits around the hidden village. The people of Yashina village are having a pretty good life, since the village is prospering from different industries like agriculture, fishing, cloth. Merchants move about this a lot in this place as well eager to acquire their products.

Rei: Mom, your village has a lot of people like where we live though not as large. -Rei said happily.

Fuyuki: Silly rei, of course it can't be compared to hidden leaf this is just a medium size village at most, prosperous but can't be compared with hidden leaf at all. -She explains to her child with a smile on her face seemingly proud of what her village has become.

Mokichi: right, our village has quite the history as well. -He added fortifying his wife's statement.

Rei: ok... uuhhmmm let's buy those things mom Shizuku seems to like sweets. -said with excitement.

Fuyuki: Sure, let's buy some. Rei you say that shizuku likes but are you sure you aren't the one who likes it most? -Fuyuki laughingly asked rei.

Rei: uuhhmm not really mom! -Rei replied embarrassingly.

Rei doesn't really like sweets in his previous life, but now that his in the body of four-year-old his mind of thirty-five-year-old can't compete with the craving of the body of child.

Fuyuki: you look really funny when you said that Rei. -she replied with a few giggles.

The Family arrives in front of Fuyuki's old home, Fuyuki look out her window carriage and saw that her old home is now quite tightly guarded seeing that it has guards at their very gate, the place getting bigger, as well as and servants running around she could see how far her brother made their family prosper.

Fuyuki signals at the guard in front of their gates to come closer.

Fuyuki: Tell My brother that his sister Hatano Fuyuki has arrive with her family. -she said with a look of authority.

Guard: yes, mam!

A minute later her Brother Hatano keiji came out wearing a huge smile on his face along with his only child and son Hatano Yoichi. Hatano Keiji is now 32 years old and stands at 188cm he resembles his younger sister a lot. having black hair, amber eyes, fair skin except for his manly demeanor and slightly angular face you could practically tell they are siblings, his son yoichi is now 8 years old inheriting his father's looks except for his blonde hair the he got from his deceased mother.

Keiji: What took you so long to come back home, you really should visit every now and then look the guards almost didn't recognize you. -Said with excitement with a warm smile on his face.

Fuyuki: I run a business in hidden leaf village you know that, besides it's quite difficult to travel with children. -Fuyuki replied with a worried tone.

Keiji: I know, but brother Mokichi still drops by every now and then. -He chided on his sister's lack of visit.

Fuyuki: He could actually go almost anywhere he wants you know that.

Keiji: right! by the way are they my nephew and niece?

Fuyuki: yes, this little boy of mine is Rei and this little girl is Shizuku.

Rei: Hello, Uncle!

Shizuku: uuuhhmmm.. kekeke -melodious laughter of a child

Keiji: Finally, more relatives! let's go inside!

Fuyuki: we brought gift by the way and those are the mercenaries we hired. The place is so big provide some free lodging from them they're still going to escort us back home.

Keiji: alright, oy yoichi say hi to your auntie, uncle and cousins.

Yoichi: Hello!

Fuyuki: let's go inside already, I haven't been home in a long time.

The Hatano family and Miyazato family had sumptuous meal and talking about the things that happened in their lives like it was yesterday keiji then talked about the rise of their family becoming one of the families that supports the village. the days past by in joy as the miyazatos and hatanos enjoy each other's company it's not every day they get to spend their time with relatives.
