Noah’s P.O.V
Later 

I sighed as I sat quietly in my room, slowly chucking a handful of potato chips in my mouth as I eyed my favorite Tv show.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I watched in amusement as Leonardo, flipped his way through the ninja bots, taking them out with ease.

I chuckled at his name, thinking back to Uncle Leo.

Huh, what a funny coincidence.

Earlier, everyone was a little on edge because of what happened this morning.

But now, Mom and Aunt Ino is making dinner, Grandma and Kurenai are still treating.. Eddie.

Uncle Leo, Ray, Stefan and Dad were talking with one another in the living room.. They all watching some type of scary movie.

Everyone, is calm now.

I smiled at that and kept my eyes on my Tv, my room less junky now.

Well, quite frankly, it was actually clean for the first time in a lifetime.

Every since Dad got back.. Things went right back to normal. He made me clean up my room a few hours ago..

I rolled my eyes at the memory but a knock to my door came, interrupting my thoughts. Soon the door was forced open alowl and my door was forced open slowly, revealing my Dad.

He smiled at me on which I smiled back, my blue eyes lighting up at the sight of him.

His did, too.

"Watcha doing buddy?" He asked calmly and entered inside on which I sat up from where I laid, eyeing his freshly bandaged face closely.

I tilted my head a bit. "Oh, just watching Tv. Is everything okay now, dad?" I asked, concern and he just sighed, shrugging softly.

"I don't know, bud. But.. You don't have to worry. I just, have to talk to you, about something." He explained and sat down on my bed, eyeing me directly in the eyes, nothing but seriousness coating his face.

I gulped silently at that amd turned towards him not before fetching the remote and muting my Tv, causing the room to be developed in complete silence.

Since that we needed.

I turn back to dad and sent him a small smile, my eyebrows furrowing. "So.. What's up, dad?" I asked curiously while tilting my blonde head, he sighing at my question.

He stared back at me into my eyes and cleared his throat, preparing himself.

"Well bud, I heard.. That you used your power today... So, what happened?" He asked curiously and looked down, waiting patiently for an answer to his question.

My eyes widen by his question but sighed, understanding immediately...

Of course.. Tsunade told me it was best to speak with dad about this kind of stuff. So it's a great thing he, came to me first.

I smiled thinly and looking down as well, catching a glimpse of his bruised palms which seemed to oddly appear after the incident this morning.

I went out slowly and grabbed them softly and opened them, eyeing the many lines that were carved on them from how tightly he gripped the knife earlier, his eyes saddening at that..

I sighed, deciding to let it go for now. "Well.. I don't, exactly know what happened. Before, when you were knocked out, Mom told me to transport her mind into, yours.. So, I concentrated as hard as I could and somehow, I did it. But when I did.. It weakened me. I felt sluggish and I got a sharp pain in my head. Grandma Tsunade said I was bleeding.. Here." I explained and moved one of my hands to point at my nose, his eyes following.

He nodded and rubbed my knuckles softly with his fingers, reassuring me. "Well, Noah.. I do have to say this one thing. That's impressive bud... I remember when I was beginning to get my powers, I was experiencing the same thing. I didn't care though. I was too engulfed by the darkening feeling of controlling someone with just one look. I mean.. You, can do that now.. you know. All you have to do.. Is look directly into my eyes and think of something you want me to do. But you have to mean it.. Like, really mean it." He explained slowly with full detail which made me gasp, my eyes widening by his words.

Words I never heard before, from anyone..

It just sounds so, cool.

But, what if the same incident like last time happens? The pain and the blood was not, something I wanted to repeat.

I shuddered at the thought but Dad pulled his hand up and placed it on my shoulder, clenching it tightly but not too tight.

His eyes were serious but caring, his eyes light blue now. "Noah, listen. Our powers are one of a kind. No one else has what we have. You have to trust me. This, will protect you. You'll be as strong as me. And this, is the first step. The only way to get passed the pain you feel for using your power is to endure it. You have to become one with it. Take it like a man.. Noah. I love you so much bud. But, if something happens to you.. I swear, I’ll fucking lose it." He whispered out and lowered his forehead so it could touch mines, my eyes widening by his words.

I took his words in account and nodded, but looked up into his eyes again.

A grin slowly appeared on my lips and I snickered, thinking back to what he previously said. "You, cursed again, Dad." I whispered out playfully which made him chuckle, his body leaning away from me.

He sighed nervously, glancing away from me. "Sorry bud. I, was just caught up, in the moment." He said amusingly which did it for me.

That, made me laugh, my closing my eyes shut.

I laughed my tail off which caused dad to do the same, his features lighting up at the joy and happiness present on my face, our voices filling up the room in no time.

We both laughed happily with one another for a couple of seconds, our bond rebuilding once again which felt so.. good..

I actually felt stront connection growing with my dad..

Which was a dream, come true..

I eventually calmed down and eyed my Dad as he laughed too, his hand holding onto his stomach tightly.

He grinned widely. "Wow.. that, was hilarious Noah. You're such a jokster." He admitted and opened his eyes again, smiling sincerely at me.

I smiled too but then thought back to what he previously said..

What he said about our, powers..

"All you have to do.. Is look directly into my eyes and think of something you want me to do. But you have to mean it.. Like, really mean it."

That seemed.. doable.. But at the same time difficult..

I'll, try it..

I turned to looked directly into his eyes, making sure my my mind  was clears of all thoughts.

I stared at him as if I was in a trance and thought about him raising his hand and patting his head, my mind envisioning him doing it beforehand, just like dad told me to do..

To really, mean it.

To envision it..

I stayed like that until his eyes widen, and my eyes darkened, my mind totally blank of nohiny else just with my command.

Suddenly, his arm moved on its own and he started to pat at his blonde head, his eyes widen still.

He gasped, in surprise. "Woah, Noah. Very impressive. Keep up the good work, buddy." He said as his hand kept patting his head, his lips pulled into a proud smile.

I nodded slowly and thought of something else. This time, him taking his other hand and rubbing it at his stomach, just a little tactic to test if my powers really work.

Only certain people can do this.

And looks to me.. My powers are working just fine.

My heart exploded in joy at that, his other hand coming down to rub at his stomach, his black shirt rising with his movement.

His eyes lit up at my accomplishment and he grinned widely. "Heck yeah, Noah. First lesson down huh, bud?" He said in happiness but then suddenly stopped his actions, his more complex mind working against  mines.

And winning..

Our connection broke instantly and my eyes lit back up, my eyes widening.

What the?

I squinted my eyes. "You, broke free..  But how?" I asked in total confusion, he chuckling in amusement at that.

He simply, shrugged. "Well, like I said before.. I’m strong mentally and physically. I can take pain. And you, will have to do the same. Noone, can resist our compulsion. If they try.. they'll experience the same pain you felt some hours ago. It didn't feel good, did it?" He explained with a shake of his head, my head following his, in agreement.

"No, not at all." I admitted honestly, remembering the pain I felt a few hours ago..

The pain that felt horrible..

I didn't even know what to do.

Dad sent me a smile, he moving to place his hand on my shoulders. "Well.. the only other person that's resisted me.. was, your Mother. She's been through alot of pain. So somehow, she can work around my compulsion. Crazy huh?" He spoke and looked away, a light smile on his face, his mind on mom..

My eyes show wide once again, this whole conversation surprising me greatly..

Oh, that’s right.. That time we were back at dad's club and he ordered her to be his.. She fought against it when she tried to hide.. me.

But how can she do that to herself? That's too much pain, to endure, all at once.

I sighed but scooted up more on my bed, smiling happily but my eyes twinkling in purr curiosity.

I nodded, excitement found in my blue eyes. "Tell me more, dad." I exclaimed in anticipation on which he laughed, throwing his head back in amusement.

But he nodded, a proud smirk staying rooted, on his lips. "Anything for you, Noah.. Anything, for you."

Hinata's P.O.V

I hummed softly as I stirred white rice and chicken on a silver, skillet pan, on the stove, in the kitchen.

Me and Ino, both decided we should cook, stir fry for everyone. It’s something new.. And I think, we need something to bring everyone back together.

Ino, was too busy chopping up the vegetables to even hear my humming.

I looked back at her and saw her frowning, her actions carried out slow.

But, in that moment, I noticed there were several odd bruises on her face which made my eyes widen and my mouth drop wide open.

Was she, always like this? And I just, haven't notice?

Oh my goodness.

What kind of friend am I? 

I gulped and placed the spoon I was using down on a towel beside the stove and turned towards Ino who was still chopping away at a green pepper on the kitchen counter.

I sighed, turning to lean over it, my lavender eyes watching Ino closely, the knife in her hand slowly coming down to cut the pepper into tiny pieces, a soft sniff coming from her.

I frowned. "I-Ino?" I called out softly which made her look up from her work, her eyes widening at how close I was as well as the worry, that was present on my face.

She immediately turned away from me quickly and sniffed, hiding behind her long blonde hair in shame. "What, is it Hinata? Is everything alright?" She asked quietly, her voice a bit shaky.

I stared at her long and hard, my eyes saddening by her behavior.

Ino.. never acted like this before.. Never in her whole entire life. She was always hyper and bright… and, brave.

She was never the.. Emotional type.

That was more of, me..

I gently placed my hand over hers which was still cutting away, the tatic only used to distract her from what’s keeping her so down.

I sighed. "Ino.. It's okay. You can tell me what's wrong. I'm your best friend. I'll understand." I whispered out soothingly, lowering my head to meet with her eyes, her blue eyes turning towards me slowly.

They watered up insantly at my words and she dropped the things she was working on and cried loudly, my eyes widening.

I quickly turned and cut the stove off, so the meat and rice won't overcook and hurried my way back to Ino.

I rounded the counter and wrapped my arms around her tightly, rubbing her hair as she just cried, my body holding her tight.

"Yes.. let it out, Ino. It's okay." I whispered over her as I just took in all her pain, numerua of tears falling down and hittiny the robe I wore.

She continued to cry while I just stood there and held her, allowing her pour her feelings all out in peace.

All she needs is comfort, even though, I absolutely have no clue why she's so distraught.

After a couple of minutes of that, she stopped, sniffs only made now ftonnhet.

I smiled at that and gently pulled her back so I could see her face. Her face was teary and red, her eyes puffy from all the crying she did.

I pouted at that and moved her bang out of her face, cupping her cheeks gently. "I’ll.. make tea, for the two of us.. And then, we can talk.." I whispered out and she nodded, sniffing even more, she liking that very nuch.

"Okay, Thank, you, Hinata..."

A Few Minutes Later

I now sat quietly on Ino’s bed as I sipped away on the tea I made for us, Ino doing the same as well with her cup.

I soon took it away from my lips and frowned at her, my own eyes saddening greatly by the story Ino just recently finished.

"Oh god.. Y-Y-You.. were raped? By whom, Ino?" I whispered out in complete hurt, my heart breaking apart at the new news I was hearing.

I never wanted any of my friends to endure the pain I have...

I, would rather take it than anyone else. I can't bear the thought of anyone else getting hurt like that.

But.. Ino, has. And I feel so bad for not being there, for her..

She nodded and sighed, staring down at the ripples her tea made in her mug, more sniffs made from her. "Th-That's the thing that tears me apart. I don't even know, the man, that did this to me. All I know is, that he's apart of the Shingani gang." She whispered out which made my eyes insantly shot wide, my body trembling.

Why? How could that happened?

What really, went on here?

I gulped and looked up at her once more, bringing the mug to my lips to get another sip.

The hotness of the tea entered inside of my mouth and touched my tongue, burning me a bit but the sweet taste of the tea conquered it all, leaving me wanting more.

I swallowed and then frowned, bringing the mug away from my lips to spare Ino a glance. "How? How did this happen Ino? What, are you not telling me?" I asked pleadingly, my eyes showing great worry.

Something was missing, from this story..

Something that was indeed, important.

She whimpered at my pleads and looked up, her teeth coming down to bite at her bottom lip. "Okay... Leo, Kurenai, Noah, Tsunade and me.. All wanted to help. We wanted to help get you and Naruto back. So, we made up and plan and went to Menma’s hideout, seeking for a cure for Naruto. Leo, Kurenai and me were the ones that actually infiltrated Menma’s hideout. Tsunade and Noah stayed behind. But.. when we did. We.. were captured in the process. And that's… how it happened. I'm sorry, Hinata. We shouldn't have done it, I regret it.. I-It was so, horrible." She sobbed out which made me whimper, my heart pumping even faster in my chest.

Oh.. my goodness.

It, was worse than I thought.

Oh no..

I lowered my head at that and sniffed back my own tears, feeling the need to cry for her as well.

This, can't be happening. Just the moment I thought we were finally at peace. We deserve it, so badly.

But.. no matter what we do.. We’re just dragged back into the madness of the world.

Nothing can stop it..

We’re just, doomed, to that.

I looked back up at her and cleared my throat, my mind going back to earlier events, to perhaps listen the mood..

"And.. Ray. What's going on, between the two of you?" I asked slyly, feeling the need bring that up to get her out of the down mood she was in.

She instantly snapped her head up at me at the mention of his name and blushed the brightest blush I've ever seen which made me giggle.

I looked back at her, astonished, but smiled… "Are you two, together now? How did this happen?" I added on curiously on which she smiled, nodding quickly.

"Yes, we are. We always had a slight connection with each other. Every since the ball event. It was only untio now did, our feelingw show. He.. was there for me when I was so lost and broken. He.. fixed, me.. And I don't want anyone else, but him."  She admitted which made my heart soar, my eyes lighting up at that.

Aww.. That's so sweet.

That's so nice of Ray..

I'm truly proud of him, for taking care of my bestie.

I giggled at that which made Ino giggle, the same blush from before staining her cheeks.

I smiled at that and sipped at my tea again, eyeing her flustered face, something else hidden in those beautiful blue orbs of hers.

She sipped at her tea as well and hid behind her hair as she caught my suspicious stare, my lavender eyes twinkling in mischief.

"What, Hinata?" She giggled out but I shook my head, removing the tea from my lips.

I squinted my eyes a bit, a playful smile present on my pale face.

I shook my head. "No. There's something else, Ino. Did you two.. Do it? If so.. How was it?" I asked slyly which made her gasp, her other hand placing her tea down on her nightstand, her other one grabbing ahold of one of her pillows.

"Oh my gosh! Hinata!" She yelled out in embarrassment and chucked the pillow my way which made my eyes widen.

"Ino!" I shouted back as the pillow hit the side of my head, my body falling over slightly.

I clutched my tea tightly so it wouldn't fall, soon turning over and setting it on the floor.

I giggled and sat back up and grabbed the pillow she once threw, throwing it back at her.

She giggled and raised her hands up and caught the pillow I threw, throwing it back but I dodged it.

I then quickly, jumped up and threw myself on top of her, punching her playfully in her sides as she giggled, her legs kicking below me.

I giggled as she giggled, our eyes lit up and.. our worries, pushed to the back, of our heads...

Tsunade's P.O.V

I blew out an exhausted sigh, rubbing my glove covered hand over my damp, sweaty forehead, Kurenai busy stitching up the badly wounded male in front of us..

Eddie still laid unconscious before us as recently, the other men helped moved him up to my work room, so now he was laying on the operating bed I had.

I blew out a deep breath, clicking my tongue. "So.. how's it looking?" I asked, partly out of breath and stepped up, watching closely as Kurenai weaved stitches into one of the male’s wounds, slowly closing the damaged skin up.

She hummee, nodding. "He's doing.. well. I managed to stop all of the bleeding. But, he needs a whole lot of stitches. The wounds  are just too large and horrible to heal on their own." She informed with slight pity in her voice on which I nodded to, getting to work on closing up his other wounds, to speed the process a little.

I grabbed the necessary tools for my task and raised my hand up, moving the light monitor over onto the male below us, my eyes connecting with another opened wound on his wrist.

Blood coated Kurenai's gloves as she worked cautiously, her eyes narrowed and concentrated on her task.

I bend down and lightly inserted the needle through the male’s skin, weaving the string through his wrist.

He winced in his sleep but sighed, my fingers weaving the stitches together, sorta closing the wound up at the bottom, soon working my way up to the top.

I kept doing that as Kurenai weaved the stitches through another wound he possessed, we both working to close up all of his wounds that were present.

Minutes later we sighed long and deep, stepping back to examine his wound free body, his chest clean from blood but filled, with lots and lots of stitches.

Both of his wrists were also stitched up, smiles appearing on both of our faces. "Yes.. we did it. We saved him." Kurenai whispered out in joy and I nodded, raising my hand and meeting hers into a hive five.

We made sure to be extra quiet so the male could stay asleep. After all, he needed his rest. Especially after what he's edured..

I smiled brightly, once again rubbing away the sweat off of my brow.

Well now.. time for a break..

Until, he awakes..

Leo’s P.O.V

I stared intently at the Tv in the living room, a horror movie on which was simply about a creature haunting a grouo of kids, the kids all panicky and scared.

So far, the movie was just picking up on the juicy, suspenseful part.

One with many jump scares and loud intense music..

The part that we men, enjoyed..

Ray smiled as he eyed the Tv, Stefan too busy on his phone to even notice the plot building..

I looked his way and grinned, leaning back on the sofa behind me, amusement appearing in my face. "Hey, What's the matter, Stefan... You too much of a chicken to watch the movie with us? It's not real, ya know." I spat amusingly which made Ray chuckle, a smile slowly inching up on his lips.

Stefan rolled his eyes and moved his hazel eyes from his phone to me, his face not at all amused.. "It's not that, you moron. I'm just checking a few things." He explained softly and looked back at his phone again, scrolling through the news once more.

I shook my head but spared Ray a glance, to only to find him staring at me already, my green orbs widening.

I raised an eyebrow at that and sat up even more, keeping my eyes on him. "What, asshole?" I spat which made him chuckle, he shrugging half heartedly.

"Nothing, nothing. Just wondering when you’re gonna get a girl. Your dick and heart is practically begging for some attention." He said through a snicker which made Stefan laugh, his eyes still set on his phone.

But I, didn't find it damn amusing..

I growled at that and pointed at Stefan, my eyes narrowed and my anger rising.. "You, shut the fuck up. When the last time you gave Kurenai some dick, huh? Shit." I spat and then looked towards Ray, pointing at him as well who still kept his smug grin up.

I glared, a scowl present as well. "And you. Just because you've finally confessed your feelings to Ino, doesn't mean anything. If it wasn’t for her getting raped, you wouldn't have anything to do with her!" I yelled out without thinking making him instantly scowl, his fists balling up tightly, the tension in the room building to the highest point.

Stefan gasped from where he sat and covered his mouth in shock, eyeing Ray to see how he was going to take my offensive comment.

Ray shook his head and turned towards the Tv, tapping his foot angrily on the ground, his brown shaggy hair faling over his enraged eyes. "That was low, Leo. Real fucking low." He spat which made me sigh, my anger going away.

Damn.. I didn't mean it to come off like that.
It's just.. I feel so lonely. The other guys have someone that cares for them, except me.

When can I, have a goddess?

Do I even need one, right now?

I shook my head and laid back, eyeing the Tv again, the two other men in the room now silent making it feel awkward as hell...

I guess.. I'll just.. have to, wait.. 

Naruto’s P.O.V

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair as I eyed Noah try to read my thoughts, his eyes narrowed and darkened.

I stared into his eyes as well, easily picking up his thoughts.

They screamed for a time to finally be successful into using, his powers.

I smirked at that.

In due time, buddy. In due, time.

After a couple of more seconds he shook his head, giving up. "No.. I can't do it. I'm just too, weak." He said through sniffs, his eyes saddening.

I frowned at that and placed my hand on his head, rubbing it softly. "Fine. Let’s just, take a break then.." I suggested and he nodded, turning back towards his Tv whi h was still on, but no sound was produced.

I stare back at him hard until a thought passed through my head.

Hmm.. I think I just got something..

I smiled and stood up, peering down at him warmingly. "Come on, I wanna show you something." I said with a nod on which he nodded, my feet taking me out of Noah's room to the room Hinata and me shared, Noah tailing right behind me.

Noah tilted his head, he looking around the place slight confusion there as well.. "So.. what is it that you wanna show me, dad?" He asked curiously with a head tilt, causing his linger than normal blonde hair to fall over, his feet continuing to follow me obediently.

I looked over my shoulder at him and smirked, my blue eyes lighting up at his impatience. "Patience, Noah. Patience." I ordered calmly and stepped up to my secretive dresser, opening it up and eyeing the many things that were in it.

My golden glocks..

My cigars, my medicine, and..

I smiled and quickly grabbed the picture that was still held there, my eyes staring at it intently.

It was of 19 year old Hinata.

The same picture that kept me sane through the 10 years I was locked away.

I turned towards Noah and showed it to him, his eyes instantly widening at th aight of her younger self.

"Oh my gosh. That’s Mom? No way. Her hair is so much shorter." He exclaimed happily and grabbed it gently from my hands, eyeing the more younger Hinata posing playfully for the camera, my blue eyes watching him lovingly.

I chuckled. "Well, Noah. The reason I showed you this, connects back to you using your power to the fullest. For good. The most important thing is, is to find something you really want to protect and push all of your strength onto that one thing. Push your strength on something or someone you don't want to lose. That'll help keep the pain and stress away. Not only that but you'll stay sane and become even stronger. My lifeline, is your Mother. I love her, more than anything, and I know I've hurt her.. I've hurt her many times and I have no excuses for it. Only apologies and unconditional love. That, is just something I will have to deal with. Me, alone. I just can't, be away, from her.." I informed quite seriously and tilted my head at him, my blonde hair falling over my eyes by the action.

He gasped at my claim, he listening intently, taking in everything which excited his little mind and body.

He looked back up at me, nodding slowly, his eyes growing serious... "I-I'm ready, dad. I want you, to teach me. Teach me, everything there is to know, about my power. And I won't, back down..
