Summary: Naruto has been captured by the Akatsuki but everyone is more worried about village safety. What happens when Kiba in a fit of anger leaves the village and goes after Naruto with the help of Akamaru?
This was inspired by Kaiji Maeda Sama
Naruto laid in his bed tossing and turning, trying not for the first time to get comfortable. He knew why he couldn't and it had nothing to do with the bed but everything to do with the fact that it was his birthday and the anniversary of the Kyuubi's attack on the village all those years ago.
Angry at the facts laid out in front of his eyes Naruto got up and left his apartment for a stroll through the village. But as he walked around the village he realized not even that was going to make him tired. Making a decision he went to the Namakaze compound. A place he knew by his birth right was his and his alone as the soul survivor of the clan.
Once past the gates that proclaimed Namakaze he walked up to the main house where his father had once lived before dying. He knew exactly where he was going because it was on this night every year since learning of his birth right and full name that the nightmares and restlessness would not stop until he was in his sanctuary, his room. The room that had his parents not given their life for the village and his life he would have grew up in.
It was here that he learned that even though this was the time when the seal was weakest he could feel truly safe. Grabbing the blanket and pillow from his bed he curled up next to the bed that at one time would have fit his and the photo of his parents. In only moments he was finally asleep.
"Kiba have you seen Naruto? We were suppose to all meet up to go to the festival."
"No Sakura I havent seen him. But I'm not surprised hes late again. Hes always late on this day every year."
"True well I guess Ill just go on ahead without him. Bye Kiba." Sakura said as she ran off in her decorated white and pink sakura blossom kimono.
'She is so blind, hasn't anyone realized what this day is for him' Kiba thought as he walked off into the direction of the festival.
In truth the only people in the village who knew the truth of who Naruto was and what this day was for him were those who had been close to his father and others that the 3rd Hokage had informed. It was always obvious on this day who knew and who didn't. Iruka would always treat Naruto to his favorite meal, ramen, while others like Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jariya did different things for him. No one understood why but nobody really cared enough to ask why each year Naruto was sadder than any other, everyone assumed it was in grieving for what had happened all those years ago. But that wasn't the truth, and the only one in the rookie 9 who knew was Kiba.
