Goal

After the bath she picked up grey colour short kimono and pants that reach to her knees and tied up her hair after it dried up. Then she closed the door and went to the garden.

She saw the koi pond in the corner of the garden. And walked there to sat beside it. The lights covered the whole garden as it made fishes to come to the surface of the water.

She saw the bag of fish food pellets were placed beside the pond so she grabbed a handful of them and threw it to the pond. Then she started to watch them with a amusing gaze, shimmering red, golds, oranges and whites bobbed up and down in the light.

"There are very beautiful aren't they?" Itachi came near her.

"Hn, such a simple and short life. They are just born in this pond, will live here and then die. I don't know whether it is a curse or a bless." Then she sighed while looking at the sky. "May be it is a curse after all."

"Why?" He frowned.

"Sometimes the predators will appear to snatch what they want, their prey. They hunt those gold fishes. But what they can do? They can't even protect their own lives. Such fragile and powerless lives." She threw another handful of fish pellets.

"Tsuki, what is power?" Itachi sat beside her.

There was a silence between them for a while before Tsukiho smiled. "Power huh, that's a very difficult question little brother." She ruffled his hair. "There are many forms of power. Physical strength, mental strength, emotions, wisdom, endurance, persistence, faith, the will to never give up and many more. You think some of them are very foolish but all of them has one common trait, they are all abilities to make things happen. So that's what my answer is."

"Ability to make things happen" Itachi muttered.

"Yeah, no matter what ploy your enemy use against you, if you are stronger than them the plots will only be some futile things." She sighed as she remembered how she explode herself to kill the enemy.

"Really? Then how much strong should I be?" He asked seriously.

"How about stronger than me?" She smirked. "That's a good goal isn't it?"

"It make sense. Actually how strong you?"

"Very strong, you better start to train from tomorrow on?" She put a hand around his shoulders.

"Big sister did you awaken your sharingan?" He looked into her eyes.

His look made her shudder as she grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, I may be a genius but not a monster" she laughed.

Her tone gave him the sign that she didn't open her sharingan yet. "Then how can you be that much strong?"

Seeing how much Itachi was influenced by Uchiha clanhead, she sighed. "There are many ways to get stronger without having the power sharingan Itachi. It's true that sharingan hold the power that can make us strong. But there are many people who are very strong out there. Some of them can easily overpower sharingan. Like my mother's clan Uzumaki. I heard they could even seal the people's eyes if they knew the correct technique.Then again Senju clan, Uchiha's long time rival."

"Big sister how do you know so much?" Understanding what she said his eyes widened.

"I asked for my parents and grandma to tell me about the stories in the past. If you ask from aunt and uncle they will also do that ya know." She embarrassingly revealed.

Itachi looked at her with a teasing smirk before agreeing with her. "You are right. May be I should try it too."

"Hn" she saw that Mikoto waving her hand for them to come in. So they stood up and washed hands before went inside.

Entering the dining room she saw Fugaku and her grandmother sat opposite to each other. She smiled at them and sat beside Naori while Mikoto sat next to Fugaku and Itachi filled the empty spot near Tsukiho.

"Thank for the food" everyone picked up the chopsticks.

Though she gradually got used to the food in this world, she still couldn't get herself to eat raw fish as she started to avoid eating sushi.

"How is your training Tsukiho? I heard from your grandmother that you are currently learning kenjutsu." Fugaku asked.

"It's true uncle. Holding a sword is a real tough job since it is bigger than me. So my mother made a small wooden sword with weight seals. Even at that moment, my clone is training with it." Hearing that Mikoto took a sharp breath.

"Isn't it little bit too much for one year old child?" She asked from Naori.

"We also thought same but when she started to train she is beyond our imagination. After all a part of her has Uzumaki blood, even from the main blood lineage" She said.

"Is Uzumaki physique is that great?" Fugaku asked.

"You also didn't get a chance to face an Uzumaki right? When the second great ninja war happened, you weren't allowed to go to that battle field as it held too many dangerous elements." Naori took a sip from the water.

"Hmm, I just became a chuunin that time" Fugaku smiled.

"The Uzumaki clan leader Ashina Uzumaki consider as someone on per with First Hokage Hashirama Senju, though at that time he already started to decline. Even in the Warring States era, he is a very fearsome figure. Most of Uzumaki sealing techniques were developed by him. His eldest daughter Mito Uzumaki is clearly someone who is on per with her husband. You only know she as the first nine tails jinchuriki. But she was really more than that though she became a house wife after the marriage. Her special chakra similar to wood style allowed her to suppress the nine tails." She said.

"Same chakra attributes as wood style! How so? Grandma isn't wood style supposed to be Senju clan signature kekkei genkai?" Tsukiho asked curiously.

"No sweetie, it is First Hokage's signature kekkei genkai but not senju clan's. There wasn't anyone who born with wood style. Some certain conditions have to meet to posses wood style. First one is the person should be a direct descendant of the sage of six path, only those people has enough chakra. Second conditions is he or she should posses a sage body. Third condition is they should have posses earth, water and yang chakra natures to perform wood style." She took another sip.
