Hisoka and Hijiri threw punches and kicks at each other. Hijiri threw a left kick, and Hisoka blocked it, Hisoka threw a right hook and Hijiri dodged to the left. Hisoka pulled out his sword and Hijiri pulled out Sasuke's sword. Hisoka leapt up into the air, bringing the sword down. It missed Hijiri by mere inches, slicing off a few strands of his wild black hair. Hisoka glared as he made to slash at Hijiri's stomach, but Hijiri leapt backwards, bringing his sword in front of him, to block Hisoka's swing. Hijiri threw off Hisoka's sword with his own, before Hisoka spun round to swing at Hijiri's left side. Hijiri spun to the right and then down, when Hisoka's sword whizzed through the air, nearly taking Hijiri's head off. Hijiri spun around and used his sword like a staff to block Hisoka's downswing. Hisoka growled angrily. "Why do you have to fight so hard for me Hijiri? Why?" Hisoka growled out.

"Because you are my brother. No matter how much you want to run from it, no matter how much you hate yourself, I have to fight for you because you're my brother." Hijiri replied, then Hijiri shoved upwards with all his might. Using the sword as a shield was hard work, with Hisoka bearing down on him. He shoved Hisoka off, before swinging for his right side. Hisoka dodged left and Hijiri saw his chance. He swung upwards and caught Hisoka's wrist with the flat of his blade, sending his sword soaring through the air. Hijiri and Hisoka were both breathing hard, but now, Hijiri had a sword and Hisoka did not. Hijiri refused to fight his twin on uneven ground, and so he threw his own sword, onto the earth, near the great waterfall. When one twin threw a punch, the other dodged, when the other twin kicked out, the other blocked. The pair had trained together their whole lives and they could read each other like they could themselves. Hisoka landed a hard punch to Hijiri's face and sent him flying backwards onto the bank. Hijiri stared up at Hisoka. "You're doing this because you don't think you deserve forgiveness." Hijiri said.

"I don't deserve forgiveness Hijiri. You don't know the things I've done. I can't even bear to look at myself in a mirror. I can't be the person that you want me to be. I'm a monster, brother. I'm beyond redemption. Why can't you see that?" Hisoka almost seemed to be pleading.

"Because no one is beyond redemption. Don't you remember the things our own Father did?" Hijiri replied.

"I've done worse. If you could ask Kimi, I'm sure she'd tell you. Try asking Kohana. She'll tell you." Hisoka said bitterly.

"That wasn't you. That was Orochimaru." Hijiri shot back.

"In my body, brother. He used my body, to hurt the people I loved and cared for the most. What about Minato and Kushina? Our little brother and sister. I never thought I'd hurt them in a million years. I stabbed Kushina in the back with a kunai. I ran Minato through. I used Kusanagi on our Dad. I…" Hisoka trailed off. He took a few deep breaths, hoping to calm himself. Hijiri could feel his twin's agony as acutely as if it were his own.

"He used your body, but not your soul Hisoka. I've gotten rid of Orochimaru. He's gone. He won't come back. Just come home." Hijiri pleaded. Hisoka shook his head. Then he launched himself at Hijiri. Hijiri dodged and let a knee hit Hisoka in the abdomen. Hisoka dodged, just enough for the blow to graze him. Then he formed a Chidori. Hijiri formed a Rasengan and the two collided, pushing each other apart. For a moment, the whole world exploded around them. Hijiri felt the force of their combined attacks push him into the waterfall. He felt the spray pushing him down under the water. He opened his eyes and saw Hisoka floating in the water too. The pair stared at each other for mere moments. Onyx on onyx, staring into each other's souls. Bubbles escaped from Hijiri's mouth in torrents, obscuring his view of his twin, as he used chakra to push himself to the surface, and out on top of the water. He felt water dripping from his hair and into his eyes. His clothing was thick and heavy with the liquid, clinging to his skin, as he looked at Hisoka, who was also standing on the water, looking back at him. He saw the water dripping from his twin's blond spikes. "This has to end Hisoka. We need to end this. You have to forgive yourself." Hijiri pleaded.

"I can never forgive myself. You have to understand that I will sever the bonds we share Hijiri. I will kill you if I have to." Hisoka said.

"No brother. You won't. Without me there is no you, and without you there is no me." Hijiri replied. Hisoka closed his eyes and within moments, he and Hijiri were back at each other. Punches and kicks flying once more.

Kohana looked at her mother, as she cut an apple into slices. "Mum?" Kohana asked gently. Sakura looked up at her. "I heard that you and Dad didn't… handle my… death… well." Kohana said softly. Sakura took a deep breath.

"No. We didn't. We… we didn't know how to grieve for you Kohana. We loved you so much. We still love you. Losing you broke my heart. I can't speak for your father, but I know it hurt him too, more then he could say, because he tried to tell me after your funeral. We were all broken down by it Kohana. Maybe your father and I didn't handle your death well, and we were selfish in our grief. But we didn't know what else to do." Sakura told her. Kohana looked at her mother.

"I heard you that day. At first I didn't remember… I didn't remember the other side. But… as I was alive for longer, I started to remember things. I saw people there. I saw Uncle Watashi, but I didn't know when he got there. He… he told me he was so thankful that you took care of his children after his death. He was thankful that you took them in as your own and raised them. He… he said he was sorry… I didn't know why until Mikoto told me that he'd died on his way to my funeral." Kohana said.

"You heard me?" Sakura asked.

"I heard you speaking to me. You said you'd never stop thinking about me. You never did. I… I always knew. I… I missed you all so much." Kohana said. Sakura leaned forward and hugged Kohana to her tightly. She felt Kohana hug her back and Mother and Daughter finally had the moment that had been taken from them for so long. A reunion.

Hisoka and Hijiri were still fighting each other. The surrounding forestry had been demolished by their jutsus. They were fighting so hard, that they had run out of breath. Hijiri looked at Hisoka and fell to his knees on the ground. He knew there was only one way to end this fight. "You want to sever our bonds Hisoka? Do it. I'm waiting. Kill me and end this. But I will not kill you and I will never hate you." Hijiri said firmly. If this was what it took, that was what he would do. That was all Hijiri could think, as he saw Hisoka form a Chidori, and walk over to him, ready to plunge the orb of lightning into his twin's chest.

Naruto felt a shiver go through him as he was writing a report. "Uncle Naruto?" Naruto looked up at Zephyr, who had grown so much. He resembled Deidara so effortlessly that Naruto was sometimes thrown back in time just looking at him. He was the same age as Hisoka, Hijiri and Kohana, nearly nineteen years old. His blond hair tied in the same style as his father's, and his blue eyes the same shade. He was there reporting about his own mission.

"It's alright Zephyr." Naruto replied, though he was unsure whether it was alright really.

"Is something wrong Uncle Naruto?" Zephyr asked.

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling. Just… something feels wrong." Naruto replied.

"Hijiri will bring Hisoka home. It'll happen. Trust them Uncle Naruto." Zephyr said gently.

"You have such faith. I wish that was so easy for me now." Naruto replied. Zephyr grinned at Naruto.

"I have faith because I know Hijiri and Hisoka. I know in the end it will be alright somehow. I have to believe that." Zephyr said. Naruto smiled at the blond male and nodded his understanding as he tried to push the bad feeling away. He gestured to Zephyr to carry on with his report as he hoped things were alright with his sons.

Hisoka dove at Hijiri, Chidori in hand and made to drive the Chidori through his twin's chest. Hijiri didn't move and Hisoka couldn't stop himself. His hand moved away from Hijiri's heart, and the Chidori made a hole in the middle of Hijiri's chest. Hisoka felt sick to his stomach. "Why didn't you move?" Hisoka choked out.

"If it takes my death, to bring you back to the village, then I'm happy to pay that price." Hijiri whispered, before coughing up blood. Hisoka gathered up his twin brother and started running, heading for Konoha. He needed to save his twin, his better half, his light. He had to do it, no matter if he died for it.
