Konoha lay there still and patient, peaceful as if nothing ever happened. The delegation had been sent on her way by another guard team as soon as they were deep enough into their own country, and after a day, Team 13 headed to Konoha.
Mission accomplished, no death on their lists and plenty of time to go back in a peaceful and calm manner while pondering over how they should write their reports, which in the end they agreed on to prof reed one another just to be on the safe side. The Hokage and his team didn't need to know everything they had done during their stay. No need for mentioning that Suna was now equipped with Anuk, or that they had any great involvement into the current changes in Kiri. Tsukiko modified it on every corner, while Shisui did his best to remain remotely close to the truth and not end the entire report like Gene did.
We came to Suna, did our job. We went to Kiri, did our job, and then we went home.
Report written, important things mentioned and that was it. Tsukiko eyed it and gave it an approving nod before writing hers in an equally brief and shirt version. In comparison, Itachi wrote a novel, fifty pages of calligraphed report, and it read like one too. Quite a good one Gene had to admit reading it, it was gripping, with great atmosphere and the action was exquisite.
Shisui was in the end the only one who wrote a report. A real report, longer than a sentence and not a novel.
Konohas gates opened and while they were back marching on familiar streets Gene breathed in a Depp breath stretched her hands and internally announced.
Home sweet Home.
Stopping a second, she felt the tantalizing smell of food enter her nose and her stomach growl.
"Who is in for an Ichiraku Ramen?" She asked.
"Again?" Tsukiko sounded horrified while Itachi had vanished from plain sight as she mentioned her favorite ramen store.
"Gene, we might want to visit the Yuki-Clan first, you know." (Shisui)
"But I am hungry" (Gene)
"First duty, then food." He ushered her off as Gene waved her goodbyes to Tsukiko as Itachi had already gone back into the shadows. Walking to her home, she stopped in front of her new house. The gates stood high and not broken anymore, there was a giant sign announcing Yuki Clan on the front. The gates were not as imposing as those of others, but Gene suddenly felt giddy as she opened the doors and walked in.
The ground was taken care off and there was a small fountain at the side of the courtyard and someone was obviously trying to grow a few flowers. Gene almost shouted in delight. Shisui was already walking ahead and looked back at her. "Are you coming, I want to have choosing rights in terms of where my damn room is, I expect this to grow a lot larger at some point, and then I do not want to litigate with newcomers."
Gene stopped herself. "Wait, you are actually serious about joining my newly formed ragtag Clan of human experiments and stuff, when you could stay with the Uchiha and be a big shot?"

"Mhhh, I am, I mean it is small but cozy and best is I can avoid any inheritance war with Shisui some elders want to press us into." He said. "And I did say yes multiple times, has it finally sunken in?"
Gene grinned and threw her arms up. "Got it." She said before starting to run. "I need to find Izayoi and then Tsunade, I need to know how much they progressed." Gene ran towards the buildings and stormed into the community kitchen. "Hello everyone, I am back."
From all the seats that should have been manned, only five were. Izayoi whom she only recognized by his facial features, his hair was as white as hers, Tsunade her assistant Shizune, Seiyu still far to unmoving in a wheelchair and a smallish far to thin girl with big brown reindeer eyes.
"What happened?" She asked them, although she could imagine it her good mood from earlier gone like dust in the wind.
"They are no more." Tsunade said and signed. "I couldn't help them."
"So Izayoi, Seiyu, and..." She looked at the girl whose name she did not even know, she had taken her in like all the others, but she never spoke and so Gene never asked waiting for her to answer, to tell her on her own.
"So-Sora." the girl said before taking her things and vanishing away.
"Do not take it to your heart, she just recently started speaking, Sora is, so we all assume her name, and the only word she spoke up until now." Izayoi said. "We made Ramen."
He pointed at the steaming bowls. "Everyone always liked it, especially since it was your favorite."
"Ramen is always good." Gene said and sat down, taking herself a bowl and passing it to Shisui who took it and sat next to her. "What else happened while I was gone."
"We rebuild the Clans Zone, only few are still in need of repair now. I arranged for everything, alongside the Hatake and The Uchiha we have also formed several long-standing contracts with some traders in Konoha, but we are still dependent on your and the Vice head's salary." Izayoi rattered down information, "Other than that we have had a few smaller skirmishes with the Hyuga during meetings but nothing that got out of hand....until now."
