-Hachi POV-

I slowly open my eyes and look around me.... hmm... I seem to have fallen asleep during training in the Inuzuka Compound.

"So you are awake, sleepyhead."

When I heard this sound I immediately turned around and looked at Yami standing upside down in a tree... but Yami is in the front lines... so this must be one of his clones.

I rub my eyes a little and yawn as I say. "I must have just lied down to take a nap. It seems I didn't notice it and slept a lot more than intended."

Yami's clone suddenly smiles. "So... do you remember anything before you fell asleep."

I think back on it. "Uhhh.... no... not really... why did something happen."

The clone just shrugged. "Nope, nothing happened. I just was worried about you, and wanted to ask how training has been going lately."

"It's been good." I decided to just say that and not elaborate any more. I mean... I have made such progress that seems to be at a snail's pace compared to when Yami taught me. I could beat a Chunin with just a week of training. 

Now... I haven't learned anything... I mean sure I learned about some new ninjutsu... but I don't have enough chakra to use any of them. The Senju library is a treasure trove but I can't really use most of the things, so I give them to Yami's clones, then they modify techniques to perfectly fit me. 

Yami said that as I grow older he will continue to give me the modified techniques that I gave to him.

I see that the shadow clone seemed a little unsure of something as he frowned and finally said. "I think that you should be deployed where the original Yami is. He will help keep you alive and he can protect you."

Lately, I have been understanding more and more of what Yami is trying to teach me. Even though he doesn't say it... well he will probably never say it... but I know that he does care about me in his way. 

He will never truly hurt me and will always protect me... he is like a dad... but he is way too young to be one.

I consider the clone's offer... I know that I will be safe if I go there... but I also know that I will never grow if I will always be under Yami's wing. 

I decided to tell my decision to Yami's clone. "I know that I will be safe if I do that.... but I know that I wouldn't grow if I was under Yami's wing."

While saying this, I was a little scared... I knew that I would have to go into a dangerous situation and might die. But strangely... I have never felt calmer, I can think clearly and my face is cold, with no emotion in it. Portraying nothing of what I am thinking.

The clone just looked at me with a strange twinkle in his eyes... then out of nowhere, something that I have never heard Yami or any of his clones do happens. He laughed... 

"Hahahahahaha." His laughter was very strange, it was too trained. It also had a certain coldness to it. 

"You are my-.... something else aren't you... Hachi." 

I didn't understand what he meant by that, but as the clone continued laughing I noticed that during certain intervals the smile would be a little wider. As if he had heard the funniest inside joke ever.

-Two Months Later- (Yami's age 19)

...

-Land of Water Borders-

Two months… and there has been no battle, only small skirmishes against the Mist Village… I was currently on a patrol run. It also seemed that even with the Senju name I am still treated as a genin. Which is nice and all that, but my patrol team is my teammates, Shoto, Momo, and Kai -sensei. 

Suddenly something strange happened as Kai -sensei signaled us to stop as we were jumping trees. 

Did he maybe notice any mist ninja around here? Who knew... as we were thinking this...

*Fwosh*

Sensei disappeared from where he was...

*Clink*

Another noise was heard and then a thud... later the teacher came back with a ten-year-old girl under his arm, the kunoichi seemed to be struggling but she was already tied up by Kai.

"It was her and some other genin. No wonder the Hidden Mist keeps losing ninja-like flies. They don't even have Jonin teams for a talented kid like her." Said Kai -sensei as he threw the girl on the ground.

When I look at her closer, I see that she has a special tape on her mouth to stop her from talking. She has long auburn hair, she has green eyes and jade-like skin, she seems to be around ten years old. She suddenly looks at me and my teammates with fire in her eyes. 

Then sensei rips off the tape of her mouth and says. "Ok start speaking kid. I want to know who you are. Someone with your chakra at your age wouldn't be a no-name ninja... so there is a high chance you are from a clan. Tell me which one and you will live."

Immediately when Kai says that, he releases killing intent towards her. She jumps a little back in fright, but she simply answers.  "M -My name is... Mei Terumi."

Kai immediately just widely smiles at this and stops his killing intent.  "Terumi... that is indeed a very good last name... you will be very useful to Yami -sama."

Kai -sensei seemed to know something about the Terumi surname. I must say that even though I read a lot… I don't know about every clan in the elemental nations.

The girl seems a little uncomfortable and seems to be looking around for an escape route. When she sees none she looks down in resignation.

...

...

As we are walking back to the Konoha camp, I notice the girl called Mei Terumi looking at me, and out of nowhere she just asked. "Do you have any relation with Yami Inuzuka.... you sure look a lot like him."

I just look at her face, for the first time since we have started walking. Sensei waved a hand sign, signaling me to try and befriend her for information.

"Every Uchiha and half of the civilians in Konoja look like Yami Inuzuka... Why, have you met him before or something." I decided to continue talking about Yami like this since she genuinely seemed interested when we walked about Yami.

"No not really.... but I did hear of him... he killed my father in the 2nd Ninja War." Said Mei Terumi with a hateful look in her eyes, though her face stayed calm.

Mei's father was just some random shinobi that the MC killed by blasting his brains.

P.S. Hachi is 7 years old now and has matured a little now.

P.P.S: Have annoying cousins over... tch... uncle should have pulled out, instead of having these dumbasses running around doing stupid sh*t.
