THIRD POV
By the time the team arrived Naruto was calmer and not out of control anymore. He was at the Hokage office with Lady Tsunade, Shizun, Kibo, Hinata and Sakura. Waiting and with high hopes into seeing Nikko again.

But once the teams arrives and the door opens, there was no sign of Nikko.

"Kakashi how was the mission. Did you already drop off Nikko at the hospital?" Lady Tsunade asked.

"The mission was a failure Lady Tsunade. Nikko was able to escape from the force marriage and Kabuto but we lost her trail." Kakashi said.

And with this Lady Tsunade understood the real situation here.

She knew that her godmother would take her and properly train her since she is the only relative who knows her elemental jutsu.

She nodded.

Everyone remained silent wondering if Nikko will ever come back again. Come back home where she belongs with her friends and family. To her ninken partner again.

"So Nikko San is gone. " Naruto said bringing everyone one out of trance.

Kakashi only nodded.
But with this sad news only made Naruto smile of sadness,hope,happiness,and excitement.

"She is coming back, she just can't leave us cause when she makes a promise she will keep it. Believe it. All we have to do is wait."

Everyone was shocked by Naruto mood. They thought he was going to go insane. But instead it's like he knows that this was her faith and destiny to follow.

"Nikko can never leave her home. She belongs here at the leaf village. She is only getting stronger we just got to wait for her to come." Naruto said making everyone nod and understand.

"She may be with bad people, but some of them may be good. They were just forced into that. Her godmother may be a rouge ninja but that doesn't mean she will be one too. She will come back home, back to the leaf village. Believe it" he said while starring out into the sun that was about to rise into the soft blue morning sky.

But this only made Kiba doubt will Nikko ever really come back home...
