-General POV-

With Yami's children Hana and Yoruichi Inuzuka being born, that brought up quite the news to the people in Konoha, who didn't have a lot to talk about since the war front had been silent recently. There were many rumors running around. From the so-called 'scandal' that Yami and Tsume now have a child together... To the whole dark-skinned child business… 

Yes… It is speculated that Yami Inuzuka has been having a relationship with an enemy...

Of course, since that sounded too crude, Yami used his connections to change the rumors, from 'Yami having s*x with an enemy ninja...' to 'Yami and a Kumo kunoichi, falling prey of both naive and tragic love that was not meant to be...' 

During this time even a book called Romeo and Juliet started circulating around. It was a GIANT hit with the civilians, in just its first week it broke all of the existing selling records. It had also become a way to give light brainwashing to the masses, assisting them with believing the new version of the dark-skinned-baby rumors...

Since the book was launched for sale, it eased the people's feelings towards cases like this… Some people in high positions were the exception though... 

This book came out very timely during this situation, before people even really started suspecting Yami of anything, and even before they even had the chance to form an opinion.

This book… it not only calmed the minds of the populace… But it also made Yami's reputation skyrocket among the demographic of middle-aged housewives and young women...

Though most couldn't see it, the old foxes and most of the Clan Heads could see the terrifying charisma that Yami had... He used something like literature to calm down a raging public... They have read the book, and even though it was good… It didn't change their opinion of Yami's danger level... 

He… a ninja who has never even had any books published in his name except some medical books... He is simply another type of charismatic monster. A monster in manipulating public opinion...

….

So as time flew and another month passed, Yami became twenty years old. He was in his office reading an experimental book on various Kinjutsu (Forbidden Techniques) that he got from the Land of Demons.

He didn't have a birthday party celebration or anything like that. What he did have nonetheless, were two daughters his clones took care of. 

Yami still keeps his experiments going on. He has been trying to experiment with mixing Fuinjutsu and Kinjutsu recently. He wants to create some type of Curse Seal technique like the ones Orochimaru will use in the future. Though it seems like so far, all of the test subjects explode from the inside when he uses the unfinished version... Although it is only matter of time and inner explosions before he gets it right...

He had also contemplated if he wanted to go and try and steal the Tsuchikage's Dust Release secrets... But in the end, Yami deemed that too risky… After all, just one wrong move and he will be obliterated by the Tsuchikage's Atomic Dismantling Jutsu… 

'I guess it's better to wait until he gets older...' -Thinks Yami, as he contemplates his next move.

His power growth had begun to stagnate again... He has already researched almost all of the Kirigakure Kekkei Genkai... 

….

-One Year Later (Yami's age is 21)-

We can see Yami, in Konoha. He is out in his yard. He had a small yellow ball in his hand and he throws it towards his daughters. His daughters have also grown up. They are both wearing yellow pants and pink t-shirts. They run towards the ball… Well, they try to run, since they mostly wobble.

Yami just laughs at this. His aging has been good for him. He has gotten taller, his shoulders have also gotten wider and his good athletic figure can clearly be seen. His face hasn't had any dramatic changes. He is only slightly more handsome due to the minor surgeries that he has done to his face... After all, what people see first when they meet someone is their face... They get their first impression from that, so now he can be called quite handsome, contrary to his… average looks from before...

Yami sees, as Yoruichi pushes Hana down and gets the ball. She cutely tries to run towards Yami while saying. "Papa, papa, I got this!"

But as she is about to wobbily run, she saw her big sister (Hana) lying on the ground with tears in her eyes. So she felt guilty at this, she stopped wobbling towards Yami and turned around to go towards her sister. When she arrives in front of her, she just looks at the ball and extends it towards Hana. "Here... You can have it Hana-chan."

When Hana sees this, she smiles and gets up to hug Yoruichi. "Love you, little sis."

While seeing this interaction between them, Yami has a strange smirk on his face. He goes towards them and envelops both in a hug. 

"Dad?" -Asked Yoruichi and Hana at the same time. 

Yami just smiled at this: "Yoruichi, Hana… Always remember that family comes above all. So no matter what happens… promise me that you will always love and treasure each other..."

Yoruichi and Hana look at each other confused, but they still smiled and said: "Of course Daddy!"

"Hahaha, you even finish each-other's sentences like twins now..." -Says Yami, with a sweet smile on his face.

….

After spending some more time with his family, Yami finally decides to make a shadow clone to play with them as he stealthily slips out.

When he is out of the sight of his children, Yami can't help but think of the war situation going on currently. 'Kumo has been quiet lately. I know that they have been trying to form alliances... But obviously, I can't allow that, so I have already killed all of the messengers they send around… The more things change… the more they stay the same.'

Yami has heard about Zabuza's massacre in the Kiri Ninja Academy. Also, Zabuza has already graduated this year at the age of nine. 

'From running through my memories, I remember that Rin and Obito will become Chunin this year… In a couple of months, the Chunin Exams will happen in Konoha. So I will have to make that happen, Rin HAS TO DIE at the Kannabi Bridge while Obito watches… After all… his Mangekyou Ability is something I ABSOLUTELY NEED!!' -Thinks Yami, as an utterly cold look appears on his face. 

He needs to plan this carefully, and he knows that. He will need a perfect plan for Obito to reject this reality, one where Kakashi kills Rin, so that he can gain the coveted Kamui...

*Author's Note*

We see a part of Yami's plan now, he needs Obito's Mangekyou… Also, a BIG timeskip happened in this chapter. There was nothing going on so I skipped. Yami was simply experimenting and spying on people so that is all that there is about that time. There is a ninja war going on, but on Yami's Camp, there were only some small skirmishes going on since Kumo doesn't dare to challenge Yami head on again.

ANNOUNCEMENT: For every 1000 Power Stones in this story, this will get +1 extra chapter plus the daily chapter.

ANOTHER CHAPTER COMING SOON TODAY.
