Ezra waited outside the teleport-thingy, and was so bored that he fell asleep. In his dream he was on the clouds, and he looked around and said, "I must have fallen asleep, there is no way that I could be here that fast. Now the question is, is this a nightmare or a dream?" He looked around to find a women crying. He ran over and said, "Excuse me, but what's wrong? Did someone hurt you? I could give them a knuckle sandwich for ya." The women looked at him, and he saw that she had pale eyes, and dark blue hair. Ezra thought She looks a lot like Hinata........ could she be? The women looked at him, and said, "No, my daughter has just been through so much in these past few days. I wish I could help." The women looked at Ezra, and said, "I know you....... you were an Uchiha boy who was killed by Itachi.......... Ezra, right?" Ezra looked at her and said, "Well, mom, I guess I'm alive, right?" She looked at him and said, "I don't have a son." Ezra smiled, "You do as of........ ummm..... 13 years ago." She looked at him, confused, "What do you mean? I only have two girls, one of which is one I speak of, Hinata, while the other is Hanabi. I never gave birth to you." Ezra was having a hard time explaining this, "Can I do a blood test? Do you have- no, wait, I'll show you what I mean." He made his eyes turn pale, and activated his Byakugan. Then he explained his past, and his mother had tears in her eyes, "I thought that you were dead and that Hinata had no one to turn to, but you and Sasuke are with her." Ezra hugged his mom, and laughed, "Heh, I missed having a mom. Hinata'll be glad that I met you." His mom said, "I haven't told you my name, have I? It's Hikari, Hikari Hyuga. Do you want to see your other father? The one that died?" Ezra shook his head, "Not really, I don't want to see the man that caused my original death." Hikari looked at him, and said, "I understand. But your older brother is here. As in Itachi." Ezra gasped, but said, "No thanks, I would rather not see him, I'm fine with you. He would bring back painful memory's." Hikari smiled at how much he wanted his mother, and she said, "Is there anything that's the matter? You can tell me anything." Ezra turned away, and folded his arms. He was silent for a while, and then Hikari started to hear crying. She looked at him, and saw tears stroking down his face, "It-It's to much........I can't bear the thought of Hinata being married to someone other than Naruto........ She doesn't even like Sora. It's so much Pain and anger coming from us all, and for some reason I can feel it all, and I can't bear it." Hikari looked at her son, and said, "I know." She hugged him, and said, "Know that I will always be here with you." Ezra nodded, and said, "Do you want to know the awesome thing about all of this?" She released him, and said, "What's that?" Ezra punched his palm, "I get to fight a really strong opponent." Hikari laughed. She was glad that her son was so kind, yet so energetic. Then she heard a voice, "Hikari, dinner's ready! We'll eat when your ready!" Hikari gasped, and said, "Ezra, would you like to come meet with the people that I'm living with? They would love to meet you." Ezra said, "Sure, why not?" They walked to a wooden house that was about half the size of the main Hyuga house, and when they walked in Ezra used his Byakugan to check out the place. It had three bedrooms, and a bathroom and a kitchen. It was a pretty cool place. Ezra walked in and took his shoes off. Hikari did the same, and said, "Could you keep a low profile for now? I know you don't like attention very much." Ezra nodded, and walked into the living room. He sighed. This was an awesome dream! He had finally got to meet the person that he thought of as a true mother, since Sasuke's mother had put Itachi through so much. He lied down, and he had something pop in his head. He realized that his spirit had wandered into the afterlife, and that he wasn't dead, he was just one of the chosen few that could take people in and out of the afterlife, but only if their body's are still intact. Ezra smiled, and was so happy that he could see his mother anytime he wanted. Hikari walked in and said, "Can you find the dining room on your own?" Ezra activated his Byakugan, and said, "Yeah. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Hikari nodded, and walked to the kitchen. Ezra walked to the dining room, and saw that the table was already set. He pulled a chair up for himself, and sat down. Hikari was serious about not telling anyone about him. He waited, and after a while he saw someone come in. He was looking down at the feet of the person, but when he looked at the face it was someone he knew all to well. "Jiraiya?" Jiraiya looked at Ezra, and said, "Ezra?" Ezra got up, and hugged Jiraiya, who was as much of a friend to him as he was to Naruto. Jiriaya said, "Who killed you?" Ezra said, "No one, I came on my own. Or rather, my spirit did. But that aside, what have you been doing. Besides trying to find women." Jiriaya said, "I've been watching over Naruto and yourself." Ezra figured that since it was such a short list/answer that most of his time in the afterlife was spent on trying to pick up young women. He smiled at the Sage, and Jiraiya said, "So, how have you been?" Ezra explained all that had happened, and Jiraiya said, "I see, so that's why Hikari had been down lately." He looked over in the direction of the kitchen, and he smiled. Then Ezra realized what this was about. He got up, and slapped Jiraiya in the face, "My mom is off limits, Jiraiya." Jiraiya rubbed his face, and said, "Yeah, I know that." Ezra sat back down, and closed his eyes. This was the most epic dre- spirit wandering he had ever had! Except this was the first time he had his spirit wander. Then he heard a different voice, "Sensei, who are you talking to?" Ezra had no clue who this was, but then a man stepped in to the room. Ezra looked at him, and saw that he looked a lot like Naruto. Then he realized something, "Are you.....? The Fourth Hokage?" The man nodded, and looked at Ezra, "Yes, and you are?" Jiraiya looked at The Fourth, and said, "Minato, this is the boy Ezra that I told you about." Minato looked at Ezra, and said, "So your Ezra? Nice to meet you. Your my son's friend, right?" Ezra was confused. He had no idea who Minato was talking about. Minato must have seen this, because he said, "Naruto is my son, Ezra." Ezra's jaw dropped, and he smiled, "So, your the one who re-sealed the Ninetails when he was fighting Pain." Minato smiled, "Yes, and Ezra, you have been a great friend to my son, I must thank you. You have always been there for him." Ezra blushed and said, "I guess....... but I'm not his only friend." Minato nodded, "Yes. Sasuke is the one who betrayed you though. You never went down to Orochimaru." Ezra said, "I know. But all the same, Sasuke's with us now." Minato nodded, and smiled. He touched Ezra's sky blue hair, and said, "Had your hair always been like this?" Ezra nodded, "I looked nothing like anyone for a while, I was born with this hair. I think I look a little like Sasuke now though......" Minato smiled, "You look like your mother." Ezra was confused, "Which one?" Minato looked at him, and smiled, "Your Hyuga mother, of course. I see the huge resemblance now. The only difference is the hair. You both have blue hair, but in different shades......." Ezra smiled. Minato got out some forks and knives to eat with, and Ezra said, "Let me help you with that." He got up, but Minato said, "No, your our guest, and we'll be happy to set this up ourselves. Unless of course, your here forever." Ezra sat down, and said, "Thanks." Minato set the table, and Ezra said to him, "I must ask, who is Naruto's mother?" Minato smiled and said, "You'll see." Ezra was confused, but waited. Then a red haired women came through the door, and Ezra could tell who this was. She was Kushina Uzamaki, and she was the one who married Minato, and Naruto was born some time afterwards. Ezra said, "Your Kushina? It's an honor to meet you both." He shook her hand, and she said, "And you are?" Ezra smiled, "I'm your sons friend, Ezra." Kushina gasped, and looked at Jiraiya, "You never told me he had blue hair!" Jiraiya stammered, and got out of his chair, and walked backwards, "I'm sorry." Ezra was confused, and Minato said, "It would be best if you stood back, Ezra." Ezra was confused, but heeded his warning. Then Jiraiya hit the wall after stammering back for a while, and Kushina hit him really hard. Ezra grimaced and said, "Ooh, he's going to feel that for a while." Minato laughed and said, "She has a short temper. I would strongly advise you to not provoke her." Ezra nodded, "I already figured that part out, thank you very much." Kushina calmed down, and helped Jiraiya up. Minato kissed her, and said, "Well, besides the blue hair like his mother, he is about exactly the same as Jiraiya Sensei had said." He must have said a lot, because Kushina hugged Ezra, "Thank you for being such a good friend to my son. I was just beginning to regret not living to be with him, or give him a sibling to be with. But now your dead........" Ezra released himself, and slapped his forehead, "I am not dead! I think I'm just one of the chosen few that can come in and out of the after life." Kushina smiled, and sat down next to Minato. Ezra asked, "Where's my mom?" Kushina said, "I think she's just making sure that the food is totally ready, she wants it to be perfect for you." Ezra smiled. His mother was everything he had heard. Hikari walked in, and said, "It's a bit to hot to carry in, so can we serve it outside? We can still eat in here, it'll be less hot that way." Ezra stood up, and said, "Of course we can. I can't wait to see what it is." He walked into the kitchen, and found a steak, and a lot of dumplings. He grinned, "Mom, your awesome!" Hikari smiled at her son, "Thanks. I wasn't expecting you, and I was taking my chances making this already." Ezra hugged his mother, "I'm so glad I'm here, and I get a break from....." He shuddered, and she kissed his hair, "I know. It's rough down there, isn't it?" He nodded, and said, "But enough about that, lets eat!" He got a few pieces of white meat, and three dumplings, and sat back down in the dining room. Hikari came last after Jiraiya, and she dropped the hot steak on herself. She burnt her thumb, and Ezra said, "Here you go." He sent Wind Chakra at her thumb, and blew off all of the dirt on the steak after she picked it up. She smiled and said, "Wind Nature. You inherited that from me. Thanks." Ezra smiled. He knew that his original Chakra was Fire and Lighning, but his fire switched to Wind after the blood mix. Hikari sat down, and said, "Ezra, you can control your Wind better than me, could you cool the food off a bit?" Ezra nodded, and cooled everyone's food off. They all thanked him, and ate the food. Ezra dug in, and said, "Mom, this is awesome!" Hikari smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. And I have a question to ask all of you. Why am I the only one who never knew he was my son?" Ezra heard this, and said, "Yeah!" They all made the same excuse, "We thought you already knew!" Ezra said, "Hmph. Pitiful." They all laughed, and once they were done, they moved to the living room, where Ezra leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, and the rest sat on the other couch. Kushina asked, "Ezra, I've noticed that you haven't been as bright and energetic as I've heard. Is there something wrong?" Ezra said, "Yeah, I guess." Hikari said, "Ezra, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." Ezra said, "It's fine. But let me start from the beginning." Ezra took in a breath, to make some thinking time for himself. "Okay, so we start our story with Naruto and Sakura dating, right?" Kushina smiled, "So, that finally came about. I'm glad. He got a lover." Ezra looked at the smiling women, and was sad that it had ended so fast. "So, it's before a mission, and Sakura makes a weird smile. After the mission, I was in the hospital, both arms broken. Sasuke was in with me. We were asleep. Naruto's heart was destroyed. and do you want to know by who?" Jiraiya knew what was coming, but didn't say a word. "Sakura broke his heart. And cruelly. I think that she meant to do this. So, she cheats on him, and breaks his ribs, but more importantly, his heart. And I should mention that she erased any memory of Hinata's love confession." Kushina had her teeth gritted, and fist's clenched. Minato was as angry as her, but didn't show it. Ezra continued, "So, we had enrolled in duel academy, you were watching, right?" They all nodded, they knew this part. Hikari smiled, "You won in one turn, I'm proud of you. And tell your sister that." Ezra nodded, and got to probably the best part of this story, "So, it's our second day there, and Hinata comforts and kisses Naruto, still unaware of her love for him. So Hinata and Naruto become a couple for about three days, and....... Sora comes..... and is marrying Hinata in about a month because of my father's stupid idea of the Hyuga name dieing out. So, that's about it, that's the epic story of my last three months of coming near death. I fought Sakura with my arms broken, and got the rest of it broken." Kushina was angrier now, and was unable to contain it, "HOW CAN YOU BE LETTING THIS HAPPEN?! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD FRIEND! NOT A LAZY KID WHO DOES NOTHING!" Ezra had tears in his eyes, and Minato was nodding at Kushina. Ezra started to cry, and said, "I'm n-not p-perfect! I-I couldn't h-help any of this." He ran out the door, and Hikari said, "Kushina, why did you do that? He's just a boy!" Kushina calmed down, and said, "Oh no, I hurt him badly. I'll go." Hikari stopped her, "No, I'm going. He's my son." Hikari ran outside, and looked for Ezra, "Ezra! Ezra! Where are you!" She heard weeping, and walked towards the sound. She found Ezra crying, and she said, "Ezra, I'm so sorry. I understand what you must be feeling right now." Ezra threw a Kunai at her, and she dodged it just in the nick of time, "Come to yell at me to? Well, just forget about it!" Hikari understood what this was, "Ezra, I know exactly how you feel! How do you think I felt when I found that Hinata was in an arranged marriage?" The angry aura of Chakra surrounding Ezra stopped, and he said, "I-I'm sorry. I just couldn't handle that and everything else." Hikari hugged him, "I'll never stop loving you, or your brother and sister. And can you do me a favor?" Ezra had his eyes closed, and said, "What is it?" She kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Don't let your sister's love for your friend go to waste." Ezra released himself, and said, "That wasn't my plan." He swiped his nose with his thumb, and said, "Tell Kushina that I forgive her, and that I'll do everything in my power to stop Sora, and have a good time as well." Hikari nodded, "I'm proud of you, and your siblings. Even Hanabi, who was never able to know me. I wish she had turned out more like her sister." Ezra smiled, "I'll give the message. You take care, and I'll se you soon, hopefully bringing some more people as well." He kissed his mother on the cheek, and made a few hand signs, "Later." He disappeared, and Hikari said, "I believe in you, do your best, Ezra!"

Ezra woke up, and said, "Mom, don't you worry." He smiled. He leaned to the side, and started to roll, "Woah!" He rolled off the roof, and hit the ground with a thud, "Ow." He rubbed his side, "That's the last time I leave my body alone without telling anyone where I'm going." He got up, and looked around, "It's night time? I must have slept for a while. Okay, I need to test something." He made some some hand signs, and he instantly fell back asleep. He was right! And he had just thought of that on his own! He could go in and out of the afterlife whenever he wanted! He left the afterlife, and woke up. He used a sleeping Jutsu on himself, and fell back asleep.

Naruto got up, and walked outside. He found Ezra still asleep, and said, "Well, at least he didn't move at all. I wonder why he wasn't able to wake up?" This time, Ezra woke up, and said, "Hey Naruto. Were you the one who left me up there? Because I remember falling asleep next to the place where we can travel between worlds." Naruto nodded, and said, "Yeah. And you wouldn't wake up. Is there a reason for that?" Ezra felt like it was to early to be talking about his mother to non-family. He smiled, "I was just really asleep, that's all." Naruto smiled, "Thank you. You have been helping me for a while. You don't have to do this for me." Ezra smiled, "Yes I do. Your my friend, Naruto. You would do the same for me." Naruto nodded, "I would." Ezra smiled, "You want to meet with Hinata today? No, wait. We have class." Naruto smiled, "Actually......" Ezra looked at him, "What did you do?" Naruto laughed, "I didn't do a thing. Shephard feels bad for us, so he gave us until the day of wedding to rest and not go to class. Including Jaden, Syrus, Chumley, Bastian, and Alexis." Ezra said, "Yes!" He hugged Naruto, and Naruto smiled, "So, about Hinata......" Ezra pulled away, and said, "Yes. I think that Sora had a mission, and father is back home for whatever reason. So, we have a clear road, you can see Hinata now if you like." Naruto nodded, and said, "Thanks, and what are you going to do?" Ezra smiled, "I'll wait my turn, Hinata and I were going to talk to each other again tonight." Naruto smiled, "Your awesome to her." Ezra smiled, "But you know what I want to do right now?" Naruto looked at him, and felt a kick in the face. "I want to fight you, here and now!" Naruto stood up after flying back, and said, "Alright, lets go!"

Hinata smiled, and opened her eyes. She said, "Ezra, Naruto, you are both great, and so are you, Sasuke. But I need help....... have as much fun as you can before you fight, I don't want you to feel bound by me." She walked towards the clashing Chakra, and found Ezra vs Naruto, and Ezra flew backwards. She smiled, "Good luck, both of you!" Ezra smiled, and so did Naruto. They charged each other, and hit each other with amazing force, quickly exchanging blows. At the final blow, Naruto punched really hard, and a kick at the same time, but Ezra out his knee up and his arms up and blocked, and countered. The he disappeared, and punched Naruto in the back. He tried to hit him again, but Naruto disappeared and hit Ezra in the back, sending him flying. Blood trickled down Ezra's face and he said, "Amaterasu!" He opened his eye, and black flames came at Naruto. Naruto dodged, and charged a Rasengan. Ezra did the same, but dodged Naruto's before he hit him with it. Then Ezra hit Naruto, and sent him flying. Naruto sat down, and made a hand sign. Ezra closed his eyes. They stayed like this for a while, when Fukasaku and Shima appeared on Naruto's shoulders. Fukasaku said, "Important battle? Or is this just an opponent you can't beat." Naruto opened his eye's, and said, "I'm just getting serious, that's all." He was in Sage Mode. Ezra opened his eye's, and said, "Getting serious? Then lets do this!" He had activated Mangeykyo Sharingan. Naruto stood up, and said, "Let's go!" Ezra nodded, and they charged each other. Ezra disappeared, and hit Naruto. Naruto disappeared right before he hit a rock, and hit Ezra in the back once, spun Ezra around, and kicked him at a tree. Ezra stopped himself, and made a quick Chidori, and hit Naruto with it. Naruto flew back, and caught himself. He charged Ezra, who charged him. They hit each other, with Naruto hitting him in the face and Ezra hitting Naruto in the leg. They fell to the ground, and panted. Ezra said, "Your good, but let's end this." He made hand signs, and made three clones. They made a- you guessed it- Risen Shurinken, and Naruto made a Rasen Shurinken, but it was bigger than a usual one. Naruto threw it, and Ezra shot it, and they collided, with Rasengan middle's colliding. Ezra and Naruto kept adding Chakra, but it was to much, and the Rasengan expansions exploded. Shima and Fukasaku disappeared, and Ezra and Naruto fell to the ground, laughing. Hinata ran over to them, and said, "Should I take you to the hospital?" Ezra smiled, "No, I lowered the power. And Naruto threw it." Hinata smiled, and Naruto smiled, "Now, about that date......" Hinata walked over and kissed him. Ezra smiled, and got up. Hinata helped Naruto up, and said, "Where are we going?" Naruto said, "Where we always go." He pointed to the forest, and Hinata smiled, "I love you." Naruto said, "I love you to." He kissed her, and Ezra made a giant gagging noise. Naruto pulled away, and blushed, "What was that for?" Ezra said, "I'm not going back on my word. In front of me, you only get one kiss from my sister. And that goes for everyone I know, and don't know." Hinata laughed, and said, "Can't you make an exception for Naruto?" Ezra smiled, "No, but I was going to leave now. So carry on." Ezra jumped away, and Naruto kissed Hinata, "I love you." Hinata smiled, "I love you to. And you know what?" Naruto said, "What?" Hinata grinned, "I would prefer a day with you to a marriage with Sora any time." Naruto kissed her, and said, "I know."
