Chapter 73 - Chapter 75

Dragon and Sylvia were sitting inside the dojo and talking while drinking some tea. They were talking about Gildarts and Naruto's future.

"Has he said when he wants to leave yet?" Sylvia asked her husband with a sad tone.

"Yes. He wanted to travel back when he was done with this mission. Though, he should have been done with it by now. I don't know what's taking him so long."

"Maybe he's hurt? What if an enemy he couldn't handle caught up to him." Sylvia let the anxiety take over and she started to panic and breath hard.

"do not worry. Obito is with him for this reason. There is no one that Obito can't escape from. So they probably just found something interesting on the way back." Dragon didn't know how right he was.

"You're right! Obito wouldn't lose to anyone." She told herself this over and over just so she wouldn't become overwhelmed by the urge to rush out and look for Gildarts.

"There's no need to panic about that boy. He is strong enough on his own now. You should be focused on Naruto. He still needs the guidance of loving parents, and he chose us as his guiding light and we can't fail him in that, can we?"

"Gildarts has already shown that he is more then ready to adventure out and find himself. He is more then capable of protecting himself from harm."

Dragon said and put his hand over Sylvia's to calm her down. This worked beautifully, and Sylvia started to calm down as she gripped Dragon's hand tighter.

"I just find it a lot more difficult to let go of him then i expected. Sending him to find Paradise island almost killed me inside. Now i am going to be an entire world apart from him. How am i gonna make that work?"

Sylvia looked at Dragon for some help in this matter. She didn't want to abandon Gildarts or Naruto. But they lived in different worlds so how she would manage this. She didn't know.

"You can always go with him. Time flows differently in each world. So 20 years here might be 2 years over there. If you feel you need to be where he is, then I will understand." Dragon said while showing a caring smile.

Sylvia listened to what he said, and she chose not to speak on it. She didn't know what she wanted to do. She wanted to be with Dragon but she didn't want to world hop every few years. She wanted a permanent home, but Dragon had clearly stated that he wanted to explore all worlds that existed.

"I don't know, Dragon. I am not a world explorer at heart like you. I want a permanent home somewhere." She spoke with a distant tone, lost in her own thoughts.

"We'll figure it out someday." Dragon said in a calm tone of voice and sipped some of his tea.

*boom* One of the walls to the dojo exploded and a body came crashing inside and landed on the floor. Six shadows appeared around the body that came crashing inside.

"WAH" Sylvia was scared half to death by the explosion. And she quickly looked over at the body that came crashing through.

"SASUKE!!" She screamed seeing the boy on the ground badly wounded.

A moment later, before Sylvia could move, another body came flying through the same hole Sasuke did. It was a yellow-haired boy. The odd thing was that he was holding onto something else. In his embrace was a small girl with white eyes.

"NARUTO! WHAT'S GOING ON!" Sylvia was in full panic mode. She saw two boys she considered family come crashing through the wall badly damaged. She was so up in arms that she didn't notice the insane killing intent building up inside the man sitting next to her.

"No witnesses, take the boys and retreat. The Hokage will be here shortly." One of the masked individuals said in a commanding tone. He paid no attention to what house they had invaded.

From nowhere a hand appeared like a phantom and it removed the heads of five of them and gripped the throat of the 6th masked man.

"It appears that i have been too kind for too long. You people just won't stop until you are all dead and buried. Then so be it."

Dragon's hand tightened around the neck of the last masked intruder and his entire head exploded and blood decorated Dragon's entire body. For a second you could see true and pure evil spread across his face.

"DRAGON! What are you doing?" Sylvia yelled while sitting by Naruto and checking the vitals of all 3 children.

"Sorry Sylvia. I didn't ever want you to see this side of me. But this has gone too far."

"Gildarts has stopped 4 attempts on Naruto and Sasuke's life, but they still won't quit. No one comes after my family for this long and gets to walk away. No more chances." Dragon waved off the blood on his hand.

"Shisui!" Dragon said and a body rose up from his shadow.

"Yes, my lord!" He bowed down.

"Stay here and protect them. I am going hunting." Dragon said and walked towards the front door.

"Dragon, wait!" Sylvia yelled trying to stop him.

"Listen to Shisui. Do not leave his side and take care of Naruto and Sasuke."

"This world is out of second chances." Dragon took a step and he disappeared instantly.
