Dream

"Mother."

I stood up, was it my fourteenth birthday already? I forgot since I never really bothered checking after every mission, right now it was still the same white space that had a small hut and a bamboo forest.

When I looked at her, she had somehow became more corporeal than before, is it because I took Isobu's chakra? How do I describe the difference between then and now? If you were to see a spirit you would see them only and right now I still could see her but she became more fleshy in a sense.

"Child."

She then as usual held out her hand, I grabbed it immediately, we then began walking together towards the Bamboo Forest, even though I was much taller than years past she still treated me the same way.

"You've begun using your powers more than before."

"You can sense it?"

"I have, if you consume more than half of your chakra I can sense it immediately, whenever you are also running out of Chakra I myself begin supplying you."

I guess that makes sense since I don't usually run out of chakra, the one time I almost ran out chakra was when I toyed with Danzo, other than that I couldn't think of any other instance.

"Mother, If I continue consuming the tailed beasts, half of your original chakra, does that mean you can come back much earlier?"

"That much is possible, it will strengthen me but it won't allow me to manifest in the real world other than you allowing to use more of my powers."

"So it means you still have to consume your other half."

"Correct, you look like you are worried on something child, be not afraid, even if I am returned whole I will not take back the chakra that has propagated."

"Why?"

"Only a few more years and your chakra will be like mine, we have a much different chakra than you think, ours is much purer and denser, for now you wait until next time and by then I will tell you of my plan for peace."

"Is there anything else I need to know mother?"

"Perhaps, its best if I tell you something else right now."

I nodded, we then went insde a traditional eastern gazebo she had conjured years prior, it was in the middle of the lake in the bamboo forest, when we finally sat down face to face I just waited for Mother to speak.

"As you know we are much different than your friends so to speak."

I nodded at her words, of course I knew I was different from the moment I was born, but I'm glad I don't have snow white skin pigment or else I would have been mistaken as Orochimaru's child or something well Sai does exist.

"In the future, I assume there will be more like us, rather a few 'relatives' so to speak will come looking for me and by then even if I am still not there to physically stop them they will come looking for you."

I gulped as I know it was more than likely to happen, but what does Mother know that I don't know? She sure looks confident, she then looked at me.

"You are more than capable of holding back as you, you are a better version of me, when I first ate the chakra fruit and gained my powers, I immediately split myself as a back up plan when I first felt that some people had hostile intentions towards me."

"And?"

"Using what was left of the Chakra fruit's power that I haven't made my own, I decided to conceive you secretly."

"You decided to birth me?"

"In your owns words, Using Yin chakra to create physical forms from nothingness I placed you in my womb, Then, through Yang chakra you were given life and vitality inside, and when you were finally formed, I bore you, to me I felt it was by instinct."

Did she say I was born something like an immaculate conception?!

"While you were finally formed in my womb, my blood ran through you, you are a pure Otsutsuki that much I can confirm, when I finally gave birth I made sure no one had noticed."

"What happened next?"

"It was when I decided to split myself, right now my other half is sealed somewhere, while I am sealed within you."

That part I already know back when I first learned that she was inside me, but it was the first time I had heard how I was born, and if so, shouldn't I have woken up during the warring states period?

"I can see the look in your eyes, you must want to question me more, since you were born, I was suddenly afraid that harm may come to you, that is why using my powers, I had sealed you in a tree, and that you would awaken in time"

"In time for what?"

"In time for my other half's plan, while over the years you have grown, I've become fond of listening to your stories, while I have a vague idea of what my other half had planned, I also have a plan of my own."

I just nodded, she said if it was time she will tell me.

"For now continue your trajectory and since it is your birthday, give me your hand."

I placed my hand out front, she then grabbed it and suddenly.

"You now have access to your original chakra amount, now you need not worry of being low unless something happens."

"I understand mother."

"Enough of that, now tell me what has happened this year?"

"Well."

-

"What are you doing?"

Ino who was about to enter Yuki and Kakashi's room was suddenly stopped by Sakura, Ino felt that she was found in an embarrassing situation but decided to fight it head on.

"I'm just gonna check up on Yuki, didn't you do the same for Sasuke?"

"Tha!"

Just as Ino was about to open it Kakashi appeared, Ino sighed and nodded appearing to give up.

"I'm sure you know what day it is Ino."

"It's his birthday."

"Yes, but as you also know he usually wakes up late, its either he gets nightmares or not and as much as I tried waking him up over the years, it always seem he doesn't wake up as he usually would when its his birthday."

"Can I just look at him?"

"You can stay if you want, I think its better you just look at him and not get too near, I think its because of his heritage but that's just my guess as he too doesn't know why he wakes up late and has nightmares when its his birthday."

Ino nodded and went inside, when she entered she saw that Yuki had tears on his face and looked at the window of the trailer, it was the first time she had seen him like this and she didn't know what to do.

"Yuki?"

"Oh its you Ino."

Ino saw how he wiped his tears and placed on a smile, she grabbed a chair and sat near him.

"So where are we going?"

"We're going to the palace, Princess Koyuki said she wants some time alone to process things, are you fine Yuki?"

"I am, you don't need to worry."

"If you put it like that it makes me more worried."

"I promise you don't have to."

"Do you want to be alone for awhile? I can leave if you want."

"No, you can stay, you can ask me anything or just sit there and look pretty if you want."

"Hey!"

The two continued talking with each other as if they forgot they were in a trailer, Kakashi looked at them and hid a small smile underneath his mask, he then looked at Sakura who observed everything and chuckled.

He patted her shoulders telling her to leave them alone.

"That's how you should do it Sakura, no need for endless praising and pestering them about how much you like them, sometimes just listening is enough and instead show them how important they are to you with your actions."

"Ye-yes."

Sakura looked at the closed door before sighing, Kakashi didn't say anything as he left with Sakura, he and Asuma had to deal with what would happen after now, it wasn't that much of a trouble either since Sandayu was still present.

"I have to seriously stop taking escort missions."
