Kiokumaru sat in a restaurant eating Miso Soup when two figures appeared behind him. He turned around to see Shuji and Satori standing there.

"Ah son, come sit with me and have a bite to eat." Kiokumaru said.

"Nah I already ate…Janen." Shuji said.

"You just called me Janen. So you know who I am."

"Yeah I do and I know why you're here and why you came to Konoha all those years ago."

Janen stood up and walked to the middle of the street and faced his son.

"Yeah, I did come to Konoha all those years ago to get a leaf forehead protector but amnesia mixed with meeting your mother changed me. The reason I left Konoha all those years ago was because I got my memories back. I didn't want to involve your mother in any of my doings."

"So why did you come back now?" Shuji asked.

"I had heard rumor that a ninja by the name of Uchiha Itachi had massacred his entire clan with the exception of his younger brother I was in the Thunder Country when I heard the news. I had assumed that she died then but then you told me she died in child birth. I came back for two reasons. One reason was for your mother and the second was for my own personal reasons. When I came back I expected to get a leaf head protector but what I didn't expect was to find a son."

"Konoha is just full of surprises, isn't it?" Shuji said as he activated his two tomoe Sharingan.

Janen took off his black trench coat revealing a sash going across his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip. On the sash were forehead protectors from other hidden villages. Janen drew his sword. "I also didn't expect to get the head protector from my own son."

"If you do happen to get my forehead protector, you won't make it to the gates alive." Shuji said.

"We'll just see won't we?" Janen grasped his sword with both hands.

They stood only feet apart. "I will get a leaf head protector if it kills me." Janen said as he swung the sword at his son.

Shuji ducked under Janen's arm then drew his reverse blade kitana with his right hand. He spun around and sliced through Janen's abdomen. Blood splattered across Shuji's face. Janen fell to the ground.

"You've done well, my son." Janen said as his eyes closed for the final time.

Shuji sheathed his sword and walked off.

At the days end, Shuji stood at the grave of his mother and the new grave of his father. He didn't say anything, he just stood there. In his hand was the pink head protector of his mothers. He tied it to the belt loops on the right side of his pants. He took his father's sword and attached it next to his reverse bladed sword. He turned around and walked off back to his house.

The End
