Naruto's POV

I catch Storm as she falls to the ground and passes out.

"That was uncalled for Sasuke." I say to him.

"What? She was speaking nonsense." Sasuke says to me with a smirk.

"She knew more about being a leader than any of us, if she said your incapable of being one, then I trust her judgement." I say in a low tone as I set Storm on the ground, her Sage Mode disappearing as I do so. "Besides, she didn't deserve that." I say to him.

"Why? She's taken out rouge after rouge, and she's kept a secret from everyone." Sasuke says to me while smirking.

"We all keep secrets, and that was her job to take out rouges." Kakashi-Sensei says to him.

Storm's POV

I grunt and sit up a hour or so later. I hold my stomach as it shoots pain through my body.

"That hurts." I say and see Sakura next to me and Kakashi also next to me. "What? Is something on my face?" I ask and Kakashi sighs.

"She's fine, for the most part." Kakashi says and Sakura nods.

I get up slowly, wobbling a bit from the lack of chakra. "Damn, I used up too much chakra." I say and Kakashi nods in agreement.

"That's what you get for activating your Alpha Sage Mode too fast." Kakashi says to me and I scowl at him.

"Not like I had any other choice, I was already low on chakra, I had to do something to boost my chakra." I say to him and a though crosses my mind. "Where is Sasuke and Naruto? Is Tsunade and the Kage safe?" I ask them.

"Sasuke and Naruto are battling in the Valley of the End, where they fought before, and yes Lady Tsunade and the other Kage are safe." Kakashi says to me.

Relief flashes through my eyes. "That's good, but when I see Sasuke, his head is gonna roll." I say as my eyes flash.

"Storm." Sakura says in a dangerous tone.

"Fine, he'll be near death when I get my hands on him." I say and she glares at me. "Fine, he'll be unconscious with a few injuries." I say and she nods, satisfied. "People are a pain to deal with, no wonder I get along so well with my summoning wolves and Shikamaru." I say as I sweat drop. I hear a loud boom and then deathly silence. "Okay then." I say and hold my arms in front of my face as a huge gust of wind comes for us.

Me and Sakura immediately know what happened and we start running in the direction where the Valley is.

Once we get there, we see a lot of blood. I jump down from rock to rock with Sakura behind me, once we get to the bottom I see Sasuke and Naruto both with out an arm.

"YOU IDIOTS!" I yell at them and they look at us as I fume, they pale. "What did you guys get out of this fight huh? You both lost an arm and you destroyed the Valley of the End, that's gonna be a pain to repair because you destroyed a historical monument, no wait, two historical monuments. Can you be even more idiotic?" I rant and they laugh at me. "Now I'm thinking I shouldn't even heal you at all and let you bleed to death for this stupid fight." I say and they shake their heads.

"No, help us." Naruto cries.

I bite my tongue as I look at them, my kindness overriding my anger. "You guys are so lucky we're teammates." I say and Sakura nods in agreement as the two of kneel down and stop the bleeding with our Medical Nin-Jutsu.

The two release the Tsukuyomi and I find Tsunade and hug her.

"Storm?" She questions shocked.

"Thank Kami your ok." I mutter and she hugs me back.

"What happened?" Tsunade asks me in a serious tone.

"Me, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi defeated Kaguya, released the tailed beasts and saved the Shinobi world, then Sasuke claimed he was gonna kill you and the other Kage to rule over the nations, Naruto stopped him but they both lost an arm each." I say and Tsunade hugs me tighter.

"Sorry I wasn't there to help, your strong Storm and I can't always be there, so thank you for at least saving us." Tsunade says to me in a calm, almost soft, mother-like tone.

"Your my aunt and my Hokage, not like I had a choice, I wasn't gonna lose any more family." I say to her and I cry quietly on her shoulder, everything finally getting to me. Tsunade rubs my back slightly, in comfort, knowing what happened to Shikaku, Inoichi and Mabui.

"It'll be ok." Tsunade says to me.

I calm down after a while and Tsunade looks at me.

"Your not one to cry Storm and when you do, so does the sky, so, don't cry, that'll make more people sad." Tsunade says to me and I nod.

"Right." I say and everyone talks while I'm just sitting on top of a rock, guilt coursing through me at the thought I have to leave everyone.

It's your job Storm, your responsibility, no matter what, you have to do this.

2 years later

"Where is it?" I ask as I look through my den.

"What?" Lady asks as she walks in.

"My formal dress." I say and she tilts her head confused. "Today is Naruto and Hinata's wedding, I'm not missing that for the world." I say and she nods. I find it and change.

The dress is a dark blue sleeveless dress that reaches my knee's and has an open back, I wear black thin leggings on underneath that are hardly visible. The dress it's self doesn't poof out, its flat and hugs my sides and chest and comes out a little at the bottom so that it's easy to move in.

I put my Konoha Forehead Protector on around my forehead and I braid my now, knee length dark brown hair.

"You done?" Lady asks me.

I double check and I grab my black flats. "Yes." I say and put them on. "I'll be going now." I say and do a hand sign, appearing in Kakashi's office, scaring Shizune and Kakashi. "Hi Sensei, Shizune." I say with a smile.

"No way, Storm, is that you?" Shizune asks me.

I nod with a grin. "Yep, and I'm probably early, as always." I say and Kakashi chuckles.

"Never thought I'd see you in a dress Storm." Kakashi says to me.

"Hey, I have my moments, besides, I don't have anything formal other than this." I say to him and Kakashi chuckles. "I want to wear my Shinobi outfit, I despise wearing this." I sulk and Shizune laughs.

"Well you have a few hours. Why don't you go visit Shikamaru?" Kakashi asks me.

"W-" The door opens just as I'm about to finish talking and it reveals Shikamaru, I look at him shocked. "You got taller." I say pointing to him.

Shikamaru looks at me, his eyes widen. "You got taller and you filled in better." Shikamaru says shocked as we point to each other. "And your wearing a dress!" He says really shocked.

I sweat drop. "Is it that hard to believe that I'm wearing a dress?" I ask and everyone in the room nods. I smile and hug Shikamaru. "I've been gone so long, it felt like forever." I say and Shikamaru hugs me back.

"Well, you can only go so long with out seeing me, your brother." Shikamaru says to me and I can tell he's smirking.

"Yeah, you wish." I say and step back with a smile, holding a card deck in my hand that I took out of his pouch. "Is it really that easy to pick-pocket you? I mean you were really easy before, but now? I swear you don't even expect it." I say and Shikamaru scowls at me as I smirk at him.

"Troublesome sister." He says to me.

"Aww, you know you love me." I say to him and the two of us walked out. "Well, want to play a game of cards? I haven't played in two years since I haven't had anyone to play against." I ask him.

"Sure." Shikamaru says to me and we walk down the streets, everyone staring at us and I see familiar faces.

"STORM!" 

I pale. "Uh." I manage to say and Shikamaru laughs. I dodge Ino, Sakura, Ten-Ten, and Temari. "Not the dress, it's the only formal thing I have to wear." I say to them.

"No, way, it is you." Sakura says look at me and I sweat drop. "Wait, why and how are you taller than me?" Sakura asks.

I look down at her slightly. "I didn't notice, then again, I've always been taller than you." I say and she grumbles.

"I never thought I'd see the day where Storm would dress up." Ino says shocked, clearly remembering the lazy person I am and the mockery student I was. "Your usually lazy." Ino says and the four girls crowd me, asking a million question.

My face turns to alarm as they invade my personal space and I do a hand sign, appearing a block away.

"That was scary and way to much to handle." I say and hear a gasp. "Oh no." I say and look over to see Lee, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Guy, Kurenai, and Mirai. "Oh Kami no." I say and all of them look at me shocked.

"MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL LOOKS BETTER THAN ME! SHE WON THIS ONE!" Lee yells and runs toward me.

"Shit, not the dress." I say in alarm and I do a hand sign, appearing on the academy roof, where no one is, not. There's a bunch of academy students, not to mention Iruka. "Oh come on, is there one place that doesn't have people?" I ask and Iruka's jaw drops to the ground.

"STORM!" He yells pointing to me, clearly shocked. The academy students surround me and start asking questions.

"Too many people, senses are getting in overdrive." I say and do a hand sign again, appearing on top of a building, that's when I remember something, Kiba and Akamaru can find me no matter where I am. I sit down and sulk. "There's too many people, I now realize why I like living with wolves, they don't question my appearance." I say to myself.

"I found you." Someone says behind me.

I freeze, my blood turning to ice. I look behind me to see Kiba and Shino. "That's it, I give up, there's too many people in this village, especially since a good percentage of them are my friends." I say and go into a depressed state.

"Storm?" Kiba asks confused.

"She's been in an isolated place for so long that being here has overridden her senses and she's panicking from all the attention people are giving her, just because she's wearing a dress." Shino says to him.

"Thank you." I say to Shino and he nods.

"Although, I do think you should cover up more." Shino says to me.

I sulk. "If I do, I'm gonna look even more ridiculous than I already do." I say and Kiba's jacket gets placed on my shoulders.

"It's getting cold here recently due to it getting in the autumn months, I can deal with out my jacket since I have a T-Shirt on, but you don't." Kiba says to me as he looks away with a small blush and I can tell Shino is smirking.

"Now this I approve of." Shino says and disappears.

"The fuck Shino?" Me and Kiba say at the same time.

I stand up as I keep Kiba's jacket on my shoulders. "You know you didn't have to give this to me." I say as a small dusty pink blush appears on my cheeks as I look away, to prideful to let him see the heat rising on my cheeks.

"I know, but like I said, it's getting cold and your sleeveless, besides, I'm letting another guy interfere with you because of your job as Alpha on Mt. Okami." Kiba says as he scratches his cheek as a small blush forms on his face.

I stay quiet, unable to talk further about this, due to being away from all human contact for two years. "Kiba?" I ask him and he looks at me. "It's almost time for the reception, we should be going soon." I say and he nods, I hand him his jacket and I jump from roof to roof, avoiding my feelings for him, knowing they're impossible now that I'm Alpha and I can't have a boyfriend now, especially when he has duties to the Leaf Village that has to be put first above all else.

I get to the reception and I place down some money and walk in and see everyone there, I sweat drop and see Temari and Shikamaru holding hands and Ino and Sai holding hands.

I wonder when that happened, I must have missed a lot during the past two years.

I walk over to Sakura since she's alone. "Hey Sakura, sorry about earlier, I'm not used to being in the attention." I say with a nervous smile.

She looks at me. "Shouldn't you be with Choji or Shikamaru?" Sakura asks me and I lightly elbow her in the arm.

"I'm a Team Kakashi member, can't I talk to another Team Kakashi member after being gone for two years?" I ask her with a light tone, hiding my feeling of guilt for missing so much.

"Yeah, but I thought you'd be more around them since your closer to them more than anyone." Sakura says and I grab her head and turn it towards Shikamaru and Temari and then to Choji who's surrounded by people, I let her go and stand next to her.

"I don't think I want to interrupt anyone, besides, I'm a person who stays in the shadows, upfront talking isn't my style, and besides, I've been away from human contact for two years, not like I can talk to anyone who's surrounded by people." I say to her and Sakura laughs at that.

"Your usually confident, what happened to you?" Sakura asks me.

"Like I said, I've been away from human contact for two years and I've been surrounded by wolves." I say and crack up at how that sounds. "I've missed this place though and I feel guilty that I missed out on so much the past two years." I say and Sakura looks at me shocked.

"You, guilty?" Sakura says shocked.

"I remember feeling the same guilt, all through out the war, all because I had to leave the Leaf to become Alpha, some times I regret it since I'm out of contact with you guys." I say to her and now it's Sakura's turn to lightly elbow me.

"Cheer up, maybe you can visit every now an then." Sakura says and I shake my head.

"Only on important dates, like friend weddings, other wise, keeping the wolves sane on Mt. Okami takes up more time than most would think." I say to her.

"Then why do you stay there?" Sakura asks me.

"Because, it's my responsibility, I now no longer can date because of it and I can't keep in contact with everyone." I say and Sakura looks at me shocked. "I love the peacefulness there, but I miss my rowdy friends and always saying, 'What a pain', because of you guys." I say with a smile as I look up at the clouds. "My family is here, but everyone has their duties, right?" I ask and Sakura nods.

"You went through a lot of pain Storm, even now, your declining everything to uphold your responsibilities." Sakura says to me.

I nod and Sakura and Naruto arrive. "Is it just me, or is Naruto taller than us?" I ask Sakura.

"No, he's taller than us." Sakura says to me.

"No way, is that?" Naruto asks looking at me.

"Uhhh, hi?" I say more like a question and Hinata looks at me with a smile.

"It is Storm, I can't believe she's wearing a dress though." Naruto says and I sweat drop.

"Hey, she can wear a dress if she wants to." Sakura says to him and Naruto laughs at the two of us.

15 or so years later

I change into a dark blue tank top with the Nara and Senju signs on the back and black leggings with black ninja sandals. I put my ninja sandals on and I do a hand sign, appearing in the Hokage office, scaring Naruto.

"You got old!" I yell shocked.

"You still look the same as 15 years ago!" Naruto yells at me shocked as we point at each other.

"Well no shit, I'm using Tsunade's Jutsu where I keep myself looking young." I say him and someone busts in and I look behind me. "You got old too Shikamaru!" I yell shocked.

"Wait, Storm? I thought you'd look older!" Shikamaru says shocked and we all point at each other.

"Old man, what's with all the racket up here?" A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes asks as he walks in.

"No way, did I miss that much? Wait." I say and bend down, looking the boy in the eyes. "Who are you?" I ask him.

"My name is Boruto Uzumaki." He says with a smirk.

I stand up and start hyperventilating from all the shock. "No way, I missed so much, don't tell me a mini Sakura is here." I say and a girl with black hair and black eyes walk in with glasses on and a outfit similar to how Sakura's was when she was just out of the academy. "No way." I say and the girl looks at me with the Sasuke emo look.

"Who are you?" She asks me.

"That's a question I should be asking you." I say to her.

"Its proper etiquette that when someone asks you for your name first, you answer." The girl says to me.

"She's a mini Sakura and Sasuke." I say and Shikamaru laughs nervously as I look at the girl. "My name is Storm Senju Nara." I say a guy walks in. "Wait hold up, who are you?" I ask looking at him.

"Older sister Storm?" He says and he towers over me, just like Shikamaru and Naruto do. "It's me, Konohamaru." He says to me and I jump back next to the wall as I look at them.

"I've missed so much." I say and Naruto nods.

"That you have and the girl is Sarada Uchiha, Sakura and Sasuke's daughter, Boruto is mine and Hinata's and I have a daughter names Himawari. Shikamaru has a son named Shikadai and Shikamaru got married to Temari, Shino's a school teacher, Choji and Karui got married and have a daughter named Chocho, Ino and Sai have a son named Inojin, Rock Lee has a son named Metal Lee and Gaara has a son named Shinki." Naruto says to me and my eyes widen.

"What?" I ask, clearly shocked.

Shikamaru looks at me nervously.

I make a hand sign and I appear next to the pond I use to always go to when I need to think. I sit down and hold my head in my arms as I look at the water.

I missed so much.

I sense someone sit next to me since I can't hear or see due to me having my eyes closed and my hands over my ears. I open my eyes to see Kiba and Akamaru, I release my ears and watch them out of the corner of my eye.

"I take it you came back and everything was dumped on you?" Kiba asks and I nod slightly.

"I missed so much, I came back because I finally chose a wolf to become Alpha in my stead so that I could come back home." I say and Kiba's eyes widen slightly.

"You did?" Kiba asks shocked.

I nod. "I've been away from home for 17 years, I'm 34 now and I can't even stand being gone from home for that long." I say and put my arms on my knee's and my chin on my arms. "Where's Tsunade?" I ask him.

"Travelling." Kiba answers as he watches me.

Akamaru licks me and I laugh at that and I pet his head. "Yes, Hello Akamaru, don't think I forgot about you." I say and he barks, me being a wolf sage, understanding what he said. "You think?" I ask and Kiba's face grows hot while Akamaru spills everything, I frown when he gets to Kiba's girlfriend Tamaki.

After a while I get up and dust myself off. "I'm gonna go see Dad." I say and Kiba frowns.

"But he's dead." Kiba says to me and then it hits him. "Your gonna visit his grave." Kiba says and I nod.

"Your not as dumb as you look dog breath." I say to him with a smirk and Kiba's jaw gapes open at that.

"What did you say?" Kiba asks me and I laugh and do a hand sign.

I appear at Ino's shop and I walk in and see Sai at the counter. "Wow, you still look young Sai." I say as I walk over.

Sai looks at me shocked. "Storm?" He says and Ino walks out, young as ever and a blonde boy walks out behind her. "No way, you still look like your 19." Sai says and I laugh at that.

"But I'm 34." I say and Ino's jaw gapes open and she flies across the counter and tackles me in a hug. "Ino?" I ask confused.

"Everyone's missed you so much, what are you doing here?" Ino asks as she hugs me.

"Moving back to Konoha, I missed it here in the Leaf, I chose the next Alpha and I'm free." I say and she steps back with a gasp.

"You did?" She says shocked.

I nod. "Lady died a few years back and Cream died last year and Chief Fox died in-between the two deaths, Lord died shortly after Lady and Elder Wolf said it was time I should return here." I say with a nervous smile.

"Where are you going to live?" Ino asks.

"Uhhh." I say and think. "I guess an apartment, I'm used to a den though." I say and Ino's eyes widen.

"That's it, your coming to the hot springs with me, right now and we're getting Ten-Ten, Hinata, Sakura and Temari to join us." Ino says grabbing my wrist and dragging me out.

"Sai, help me, crazy woman." I say and Sai laughs nervously as I get dragged away like a sheep to the slaughter.

Me, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Hinata and Ten-Ten sit in the hot springs.

I sigh in content. "Ok, this was needed." I say and Ino and Sakura grin at me.

"You've been gone for so long." Hinata says to me and I laugh nervously.

"Well now I'm not leaving, I'm moving back to Konoha and I was going to visit Dad's grave until Ino dragged me here." I say and she laughs nervously.

"You don't get angry anymore, I have seen your eyes flicker once." Temari says to me.

I tap my chin thinking. "No, I don't get angry anymore, I have the sense's of a leader and a mother, since as Alpha I had to look after all the pups while their parents hunted." I say and Temari nods.

We relax until I hear a yell in the village.

"Storm, I know what your thinking, don't you dare get up out of this water." Sakura says to me in a tone that says 'If your defy me, you'll have hell to pay'.

I slowly inch my way out of the water and the girls minus Sakura, watch amused.

"Storm, sit down." Sakura says to me and I back into the changing rooms with a poker face.

I change into my clothes and I race down the street and I bump into someone and I fall on my behind.

"Oh, sorry about that, I was just reading." 

I recognize that voice easily. "Sensei?" I ask and look up to see silver or now gray, gravity defying hair. "No way, you also got old." I say and he sweat drops.

"Way to say hello." Kakashi says to me and I laugh nervously. Kakashi helps me up and we walk. "So, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asks me.

"I'm moving back here to Konoha, Jasper has taken my place as Alpha since I chose him as the next Alpha, Elder Wolf also said I should come back." I say to him and Kakashi nods.

"Let me guess, the first thing your gonna do is go find Lady Tsunade?" Kakashi asks and I nod.

"Yeah, I haven't seen her in 17 years and she's my aunt." I say to him.

The two of us catch up for a while, laughing at each others stupid but similar jokes, basically being like a teacher and student again.

"You should go to Shikamaru and Temari's." Kakashi says and I nod.

"See ya around Sensei, hope we can talk like that again sometime, it's been a while since we've talked like that." I say to him and I do a hand sign, appearing outside of Shikamaru's house.

I knock and a boy answers with a lazy yawn.

"Where's Shikamaru?" I ask him.

He looks at me and then closes the door.

"He's smart." I say and walk around back to see Shikamaru there talking to the boy. "Shikamaru." I say and he looks up at me.

"Oh its the stranger I was talking to you about Dad." The boy says to him in a lazy tone.

I sulk. "Wow, being gone for 17 years really does make me a stranger." I say and Shikamaru chuckles.

"Storm, your not a stranger." Shikamaru says and beckons me over.

I walk over and look at the boy and I sigh. "What a pain." I say and Shikamaru chuckles again.

"Shikadai, this is your aunt Storm, Storm this is your nephew Shikadai." Shikamaru says to us.

"Her? She doesn't act like a Nara though." Shikadai says and me and Shikamaru laugh.

"Look, if you want to see me act like a Nara, then you should see me on a daily basis." I say to him and I sit next to Shikamaru. "Seems your clothe style changed Shikamaru." I say to him.

"And so has yours, your not wearing the standard uniform." Shikamaru says to me.

"I would, but I liked the old flack jacket better, you know the one from back when you were a Chunin and I was a Jonin?" I ask and Shikadai looks at us confused.

"But this is the present." Shikadai says and I look at him confused.

"Yes it is, I just remember the simpler times when there was no such thing as tablets or phones or even internet, the old days, back when I really was 16-17, when kids looked up at the sky, not down at a device." I say and Shikamaru thinks back and we both sigh.

"We got old." The two of us say and I think.

"Hey Shikamaru, want to play a round of Shogi?" I ask him.

"You know I'm just gonna beat you." Shikamaru says and I get up, dragging him inside by the back of his jumpsuit. "H-Hey, let me go." Shikamaru says and I laugh.

"Yeah right, like I'll do that, once I have my mind set on something, I'm gonna do it." I say and Shikamaru sighs and we walk to the living room where a Shogi board is set up.

We sit down and play for a very long time while Shikadai watches us.

Once we finish, it ends up with Shikamaru winning and Temari whacking me on the head.

"Itai!" I yell holding my head. Shikamaru and Shikadai sweat drop and pale. "Temari, what was that for?" I ask her.

"You took so long with your game." Temari says to me and I sweat drop. "And you left the hot springs." Temari says and we scowl at each other, the tension getting thick in the room.

"Women are so troublesome." Shikamaru says and me and Temari crack smiles as I get up.

"Yeah, yeah, complain all you want, you big cry baby." Temari says to Shikamaru and I laugh.

                                                                                   {The End}
