The Forest of Death was quiet and chilly as Emi Uzumaki woke up looking around in the large tree where she remembered some bits and pieces from Yesterday.

"Naru-nii..." She shook him awake and he blinked open his cerulean blue eyes to look at her before shooting up.

"W-where?! Oh wait....never mind!" He chuckles as he gazes around their new home. It was a hollowed out tree with smooth walls and a few circular windows to gaze outside. There wasn't any glass in those windows but Emi seemed excited as she bounced around the place in happiness before she tripped on a dark lump on the floor.

"Fuck!" She cussed out which a disapproving glare was sent to the back of her head by Naruto. She looked down to see the sprawled out form of Rumi which she scowled. "Damn it! Dude get up!" She chided and kicked his knee.

The older man got up with a sleepy glare on his face as he folded his arms
"Rude Emi That's just Rude!" He scolded and she pouted looking away

"Your fault not mine!" She giggled and ran to the nicely carved door. She looked down the massive tree and had a blank face on at how high up she really was.

She sighed and concentrated Chakra to her feet as she started to slide down the tree damn my chakra doesn't have a stable flow FUCK She internally screamed as she slid down the tree landing on her face. She cussed out loud as she scrambled up and wiped the dirt off her hands and face while her brother simply jumped out using a large rope to swing down.

He landed beside her and they both high fived before sensing someone looking at them and they both looked up to see Rumi staring down at them with his arms crossed.

"Children! As you see you are in the Forest of Death and I shall teach you the basics of survival lest you both die from lack of experience!" He barked out and they both stood straight and watched his every move.

"But Rumi-Sensei We know the basics of survival! We lived....er....on the rougher side of the Ryo" Emi whispered the last part to herself as she looked at her brother.

"No talking back we will start with an survival experience and exercise! Go out into the forest and collect food for yourself without harming any animals here." Rumi folded his arms as he stared at them with molten gold eyes.

The children bowed as they grabbed ragged backpacks and both held hands as they ran off. Emi slightly slower than her brother but she endured the pain as she ran alongside him.

Stopping at a large clearing that seemed to hold many spiders and shrubs full of round blueberries. Naruto looked at his sister and they both nodded grabbing a few satchels from their bags, picking long sticks from the ground they prepared to gather resources.

Emi quietly snuck up to the large spiders nest and watched as their beady black eyes gleamed dangerously. As if asking 'why is a human child here? To steal my silk?' The spider clicked its mandibles and Emi understood right away.

"Im sorry Spider-san but may I have some of your fine silk? Its so shiny and strong I feel like making clothing out of this would be comfy and warm!" Emi gave a bright smile making the large spider pause and move away from its web.
Emi swooped in and collected a few bundles using her stick as she packed it up, walking over to the cotton plant as well.

Naruto looked over at her as he collected berries, feeling worried he quickly grabbed his sack and walked over to her hugging her from behind.
"Hey... Emi you know I love you right?" He whispered his voice cracking as he held her waist burying his face into her neck

"Yeah Nii-san I know and I love you too.." she reached a hand behind her touching his cheek as she held one of his hands in hers. They quickly parted as they found their way back to their, home, was all Emi could call it.
Home
What a funny word.

The red haired boy had reached the sandy-grassy borders of the Fire Country, when he felt 3 projectiles approaching him fast. Whipping his head back and glaring at the sand ninja who had equal sneers in their eyes leaped up and stabbed down at the boy but it was futile.

"Sand Barrier" the boy shouted as sand erupted up shielding him as multiple sandy hands slapped the Shinobi across the face.

"Im not going back there!" His raspy voice wailed out making one ninja shout.

"You HAVE to the Sand village is your Home!" The ninja's were all stupidly agreeing not knowing that the young boy had clenched his fist and rage overflowed him. Sand whipped and lashed at the ninja's feet and the boy stood on a humongous wave of sand. Glaring and he raised his hand.

"But no Gaara!!!!" One ninja with sandy blonde hair shouted out holding out an outstretched hand. But with Gaara's shout of anger and distrust they were swept away to these words.

"I HAVE NO HOME!!!!"
