When I got home, I heard strange noises.

"Hanabi!" I saw two men kidnapping Hanabi. Our father was gone and others were on the mission. So that means we were the only ones here.

"Let go of Hanabi!"

"Ho, aren't  you a little small to command us?"

"I'll never give up on my word! That’s my ninja way!"

"Then prove it!"

"Byakugan!" I saw their chakra points. I still can’t do Eight Triagrams, Sixty-Four Palms, but I don’t have another choice right now.

"Eight-triagrams! Thirty-Two Palms!" I reduced the number to succeed.

"She’s… strong." Yes, I did it!

"Tss, you may have defeated my partner, but what will you do now?" I'm running out of chakra. I threw few kunais to get his attention.

"Hah, you are not so strong after all." I moved quickly behind his back.

"Whaat?"

"Gentle Fist." I attacked him from behind.

"You… will pay for it." I have to make sure Hanabi is all right.

"It’s not Hanabi. Henge no jutsu?" It was just a log.

"Hanabi!" I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. I guess my Byakugan  doesn't recognize Henge no jutsu yet. When I got to her room, I found her in bed and felt so relieved.

"Thank God."

...

"So, Iruka, how did Naruto do?"

"He did not hesitate, and immediately went to save Moegi. I thought I ran away from him, but he was faster than I thought. Eventually, Naruto outsmarted me with a shadow clone trick."

"Are you really talking about Naruto?"

"W-well, I did not use my true power."

"That’s clear to me. But Naruto did well, I don't think I need to worry about him."

"Actually, we don't have to worry about him..."

"Hahah, you are right, sorry."

"What about Sasuke, even though I know I don't have to ask."

"He defeated me in one shot, but as I said, it wasn’t my true power."

"You don't have to feel embarrassed to lose to Uchiha."

"But he’s still a kid."

"They will surpass us one day, they are not kids anymore."

"Even if you say that, Naruto will always be a child to me."

"I understand you, Iruka, but you don’t have to worry about him. He's strong, even if he's pretty stubborn and ragged."

"Umm."

"So, what about Hinata? I'm mainly worried about her."

"She happened to be doing pretty well. When it comes to rescuing someone close, she has no mercy."

"Seriously?"

"You don't have to worry about her, she's strong."

"When you say that, I know I don't have to."

"It's tomorrow, huh?"

"Everyone is pretty eager."
