It was a rainy day, and did Naruto Uzumaki hate rainy days; it meant that he couldn't go out side….oh well. He had books and he could practice 'safe' jutsu's, as in none that could burn down that house he would get mad if that happened. Naruto sighed as he stared up at the ceiling in his room.
'So board'
Naruto was just about to fall asleep when charka started to come close to the house, Naruto jumped up and ran to the door. The door opened and the smile that was on he face fell when she came in, but reappeared when he came in.
"Kakashi-sensei! Your home! Now I won't be bored anymore!"
Kakashi laughed as Naruto hugged him; Kakashi has token care of Naruto for around a year now and it's been a blast…even though Kakashi won't let Naruto see his face yet, the meanie. The only thing that bugs Naruto was Yuki; Kakashi's girlfriend, he knew that she didn't like him, but Kakashi didn't see that. Naruto's world got turned upside-down when Kakashi told him something.
"Naruto, I want you to met you new mom"
"What?"
"I asked Yuki to marry me"
He couldn't believe it, her!? Oh god.
"When? When's the wedding?"
"Tomorrow"
Naruto didn't say a thing he just walked out, barefooted and in shorts and a tank top. He kept walking until he got to Tsunade's office. He knocked and waited until she said to enter.
"Can I have a mission for tomorrow?"
"Why tomorrow?"
"I don't know"
"Well I do have one today and it wont be over till the day after tomorrow-"
"I'll take it!"
"Hold on; it's an S rank….but I do have a C rank that is perfect for you"
"Then ill take that one!"
She watched him for a moment before nodding
"Get your stuff packed and be back here in an hour"
"Thanks, grandma"
And he ran out of the office, and speeding down the streets back to home to pack up and get out of there; but when he got home, she was waiting for him.
"Where have you been?"
She asked arms crossed
"I went to the Hokage; she always cheers me up if Iruka-sensei is busy with something and vise versa"
"Well, Kakashi is out there in the pouring rain looking for you, you little brat"
"It's nothing he can't handle"
Naruto never saw it coming because it never happened before, but she slapped him; right across the cheek.
"Go to your room, before I hit you again"
He stared at her, he could feel Kuybi's anger fill him; but he didn't listen instead he yelled
"Don't act like my mother! You will never become mine! You will be nothing like a true mother!"
He ran to his room and packed in a hurry, tears falling down his face as Kuybi tried to calm him down; later when everything was packed Kakashi came home and ran to his room.
"Naruto!"
He ran over and hugged him tightly, getting Naruto wet in the action.
"Don't you ever run off like that again; I had no idea where you went"
Kakashi was scared that he lost him, but Yuki would be happy if Naruto went missing.
"Sorry. I'm tired, can I go to bed?"
"Of course"
Kakashi walked out after saying goodnight; it hurt Naruto to do this but he had to. He snuck out.
He ran to the Hokage with yet more tears falling down his face; he quickly got himself together before going in the office.
"Ah, Naruto you're early"
"I know I am; do you mind?"
"No, the sooner the better. Ok here is your mission. Be careful"
He bowed before he left. His fist solo mission, he should be jumping around like a knuckle – head but he was too sad to do anything but walk out of the village and on his way to the hidden waterfall village.
Around 11am the next morning, Kakashi walked into Naruto's room confused; normally he would wake up to Naruto making breakfast but there was no smell in the house, when he opened the door his heart went cold. Naruto wasn't in his bed; Kakashi looked around the whole house and not a single thing that Naruto was even up in the morning. He was missing. Kakashi ran to the Hokage, fear making a path thru him and digging into his heart; when he got there he didn't knock.
"Kakashi!? What's the meaning of this?"
"Naruto's missing!"
"Oh calm down. He's on a mission."
"A mission? Why didn't he tell me? And why today of all days?"
"Why what's going on?"
"Today I'm getting married, why did you give him a mission?"
Tsunade looked token aback
"He asked for one"
Now Kakashi was confused; why did Naruto want a mission on his wedding day? Questions filled his head as he tried to figure this out, he was no where close when Iruka came in.
"TSUNADE-SAMA!"
"Doesn't anyone knock? What is it Iruka?"
"It's Naruto! He's at my house, and he's hurt badly; the bleeding. It won't stop!"
"What?! Alright show me the way"
With Iruka in the lead they all ran to his place, passing Yuki on the way, and she decided to tag along; to Kakashi it felt like weeks before they got there. Iruka told them just to go in and he poofed away.
'A shadow-clone'
They all ran in to see at least three more shadow clones trying to help Naruto who had no shirt on and was covered in bloody bandages and still was bleeding.
"Iruka step away"
He did what he was told and stepped away, his sleeves drenched in blood and his hands bloody; his face sad.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, I heard I knock on the door when I was in the back yard; I went to the front and I saw Naruto. He looked really bad so I took him in and tried to get him to drink something but he fainted and when I tried to wake him up my hand was bloody; I-I didn't know what to do so I sent a shadow clone to go get you"
"It's ok; you did your best"
Tsunade worked on Naruto for a long time; after three heart wrenching hours she was done, and he was stable for the time being. He shifted and mumbled something, Tsunade looked at Kakashi.
"Kakashi? What does he mean by 'don't hit me'?"
"What? I have never laid a hand in anger on Naruto; never"
"I need to take him back to the hospital, Kakashi. I want you in my office, right away, we have to talk about something. Alone."
