Parents

Konohagakure.

Hokage Tower.

Standing before the 3rd Hokage an unknown tension can be seen on the face of everyone which is spreading throughout the whole Hokage office.

Hearing Shikaku's suggestion made everyone look at Hiruzen with hope and Hiruzen brought the whole map of Konoha before showing it to everyone.

"You see this abounded area beside the Hokage mountain. " pointing at the left corner from the Hokage Mountain while showing ruins on the map and when everyone nods at him he continues "You see this is the "Hatatori" clan's ruined area where is the only empty place inside the border walls of Konoha.

As Shikaku had suggested I can let you settle in the ruins of the Hatatori clan.

If you want to use it then using the clan restoration act and my authority it will be easier than drinking water for me to approve this and allow you to build your clan in that landscape. "

After the opinion of the Hokage got finalized they were told it will take a few days to build a house in that place so they can start the restoration of the clan and even if the village has given them a piece of land and even helped them in building their first house they will be responsible for the future progress of the can by themselves.

As all the members of the Uzumaki clan are minors so they will be under the direct care of the Hokage and the village is responsible for taking care of them until they become graduated shinobi from the Academy.

Although it was great that the village is going to pay for the expense of the whole clan for a few years however Kazuna disagreed with the idea by saying the expanse of them aren't that much and with his income, it will be more than enough to take care of the daily necessaries of all 3 of them.

Hearing his argument Hiruzen didn't say anything against it and with that except for Hiruzen and Shikaku everyone left the room as the two of them continues their conversation.

"I need to take care of my brother and see how the clan is doing. " Hana said before leaving quickly.

"I need to catch up with important matters. " Izumi said with a smile before leaving as she thought about telling Itachi about her experience of this war.

"Where are we going Kazuna? " asked Karin with worry as she was left with Kazuna alone in the middle of the Hokage Tower and many strangers are giving her strange stares.

[(-_-)I hope she doesn't end up like Kushina. ]

"Let's bury your mother in the Konoha cemetery first. " Kazuna said with a serious face thinking it was about time.

"Thank you Kazuna. " Karin said as a clear line of tears falls from her eyes.

After paying the fee for burial and buying a piece of land from the cemetery Kazuna and Karin puts the dead body of Karin's mother in the grave before Kazuna used Earth-style ninjutsu to cover the grave.

Standing at the grave Karin didn't move for a long time and finally, Kazuna decided to say "It's already evening we need to leave Karen. "

After Kazuna said that she stood there frozen without moving a but as if she heard nothing and finally Kazuna decided to call once more "Karin."

No answer or movement got out of her even on another call so Kazuna decided to call her once more but even then he heard nothing finally after calling her for a while and getting no reply he decided to call her in a shout and shaking her to get her out of her daze Kazuna calls out "Karin. "

"My mother… " the sudden shake from her mother brought Kazuna out of her daze and looking at the grave inside which her mother is in eternal sleep she says before the water starts falling out of her eyes and she says while crying "Mother she is in there all alone how can I leave her there? "

"She is no more Karin. " Kazuna says with a sad tone as he remembers while Karin's mother is dead however he has yet to meet his parents and is still not sure if they are alive.

"I know but I don't want to leave her and if I leave I feel like… " while speaking about her mother an unknown amount of sorrow came with her every word.

Kazuna who has a keen sense of people's feelings knew the exact fact and decided to hug her tightly before saying "You dont need to worry when you come to visit her next time she will be here and you can visit her anytime you want. "

"Are you telling the truth? " Karin asks with a sad tone as she cries on the shoulder of Kazuna.

"Yes. " Kazuna says without hesitation because he knows a dead body can not move on its own unless someone does that and he doesn't think anyone will move her mother's body.

"Then I will take it as a promise. " Karin says with a nod before falling into a deep sleep as Kazuna quickly supports her before saying "Although I don't need to promise about something like this however I will still make sure her sleep doesn't get disturbed. "

As it was already late in the night Kazuna decided to go to his apartment with Karin and bring Naruto home the next morning a he is also very tired and needs a good night's sleep.

The next morning when Kazuna whole up he found Karin sleeping by his side while hugging him tightly which made him confused "I clearly remember putting her on brother's bed as it was empty. 

Did she move while I was sleeping? "

As Karin is in deep sleep Kazuna didn't wake her from her sleep instead decided to wash before preparing some breakfast for the two of them.

After he was done cooking he decided to wait for Karin and read a ninjutsu manual while he waits for her to wake up.

"Where am I? "
