The Broken Hearted Maelstrom

Chapter 1

It was a hot summer day in Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. A mile away from the main gates a figure in a black and crimson cloak on with the hood up to shadow the obvious male figure do to the figures stance face. If one could see under the hood they would see a kitsune face mask covering the figures dull cerulean eye and spiky blond hair with red streaks at the tips. The figure was currently talking to his tenant.

"It's been a long time since we've those gates." the figure said in a calm but mature voice.

"That right kit, it's been what, three in a half years since you decided to leave." a surprisingly soft voice said.

"It has Kyubi-chan." the figure said to his tenant.

"It still hurts doesn't it kit, even after all this time Naruto." The now named Kyubi said to her container.

"Not as much as it did, but it's still there..." the now named Naruto said thinking about the days he lost the most important thing he had at time, and the worst way possible; ...his love.

(**FLASHBACK THREE AND A HALF YEARS, TAKES PLACE DURING SHIPPUDEN**)

"I'll still keep my promise to bring him back to the village so we can be a team again." a sixteen year old Naruto said to his girlfriend Sakura Haruno. That's right girlfriend. After coming back from his training trip with Jiraiya he and sakura started going on dates together. After two months of dating they became a couple. That was almost eight to nine months ago. (I don't take pleasure in writing this!)

"I said you don't have to do it anymore." Sakura said to her boyfriend

"But I'm still going to do It." he said back to her in a playful mocking tone; getting a playful punch in the arm from her.

"No matter what I say your still going to try and bring him back isn't you." She said in a serious voice.

"Nope!" he said in happy tone.

"Fine I give up." She said back

Seeing they reached their destination after another date at a more high class restaurant a few hours ago, they stopped at her front door and turned around to look at each other. Quickly giving her a kiss before she could react and pulling back with his arms still around her waist he said "well I hope you had a good time tonight, cause I did." He said with a loving smile on his face.

"Well I did too." She said putting her arms around his neck giving him a kiss to. Pulling back she said "love you." Smiling at those words he said "love you too. Goodnight." He said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight." She said walking in and shutting the door behind her.

What she didn't know was he is going to do what they were just talking about.

That night no one sow a figure decked out in full black ANBU style uniform fully armed, with serious blue eyes jump over the village walls and run off into the night.


(Time Skip two weeks)

It had been two weeks since anyone had seen the go happy blond, and everyone was wondering what happened to him. No one more so than the Konoha twelve. They hadn't seen him in over two weeks and were starting to wonder where he was, not even Sakura knew where he was.

Two figures were walking towards the gates of konoha; they were leaning on each other. When they got closer to the gates you could see one had blond spiky hair, and the other had black hair at an odd angle that resembled a ducks butt. If one were to look closer they would see the figures clothes were shredded and blood caked on from multiple wounds both figures had.

"Hang on teme were almost there." The blond figure wheezed out shakily.

"Dobe, if we survive these wounds I'm going to kill you for using that technique so close to us, even though it did help us win the battle." The Other figure said just as weakly.

"Yea, yea "(if u don't know who they r yet then u should just stop now) the usually bright blond said

Naruto had managed to get Sasuke on his side in the final battle with Akatsuki (red dawn). They managed to come out on top killing Pein, his paths, Madara and the rest of Akatsuki in their final fight. And this brings are hero's (coughtraitercough) to their current predicament walking to the village half dead and on their last leg. When the two finally made it to the gates of the village the last thing they saw before blissful Unconsciousness was an ANBU member barking orders.


Groggily opening his eyes the first thing that came to his senses was white walls and the smell of antiseptic hitting his nose. "Uh, where am I?" after saying that all the memories of the previous days came back to him. "Right, must be in the hospital." The blond said weakly. He signed while sitting up to find his cloths. Spotting them in a chair on the far wall. Getting up on shaky legs he walked over to the chair picked them up and went to the private bathroom to change. Stepping out the bathroom he heard the door slide open, turning around to see who it was he saw a blond just like himself standing there.

"It's about time you woke up gaki." She said in motherly tone, which by the why didn't last very long before…..

BOOM!

Slowly pulling himself out of the rubble of a wall he said (more like blurted out) "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

"WHAT WAS IT FOR?! HOW BOUT FOR LEAVING WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE WERE TOO. THEN YOU SHOW UP TWO WEEKS LATER WITH AN UCHIA and BOTH OF YOU IN CRITICAL CONDITION, HOW BOUT THAT FOR WHAT FOR." She said with tears coming up at the end of her speech.

"I'm sorry for not telling you were I was going, but if I had you would never have let me go." He said solemnly.

"Well I want a full report on my desk tomorrow first thing." She said seriously. When he nodded she turned around and walked out the door shutting the door.


It's been two days since our favorite blond hero woke up in the hospital, he been taking it easy for those. He's been finishing a side project that would hopefully be the start of the rest of his life. He was in the hospital lobby looking for Sakura when he spotted Shizune. "Hey, Shizune-nee-Chan, how you doing?"He said in real happy tone. "I'm doing real good Naruto. What are you here?"She said curiously.

"I'm looking for Sakura to do something I've been planning for almost two years."(They've been dating for 3-31/2 years) "Oh and what's that. "She said curiously. He didn't say a word; he pulled a small black box out of his pocket and handed it to Shizune. she opened it and gasped at what she saw, there in the box was golden ring, on the ring was a pink heart shaped diamond held in the mouth of a golden nine tails and its nine tails wrapped around as the rings band. "That's beautiful, are you going to…" she said leaving the question hanging. All he did was nod. "So have you seen Sakura-Chan?" he asked her again.

"Ah yea I saw her in Sasuke's room ah little while ago." she said honestly.

"Thanks now I can propose to her and ask Sasuke to be my best man." He said in his happy tone. She watched as he went down the hallway of the hospital. She saw him open the door, but didn't go in. He just stood there with the most hurt and broken look you would never expect to see on narutos face. The normal life he had in his eyes were gone. He quietly shut the door not before she saw him drop something in the nearby trash bin. Running up to it she looked inside and saw it was the ring he had just showed her. Not understanding why he'd throw it away until she opened the door to see Sakura sleeping peacefully on top of Sasuke.

She shut the door and left to try find Naruto but she couldn't and probably wouldn't cause he's more or less already halfway out of fire country with whats left of a broken heart and the things he would need on his next adventure and wouldn't be seen for more than three years.

(***FLASHBACK END***)

Coming out of his thoughts upon reaching the gates and being stopped. "Halt ,state your name and reason being here." The chunin at the gates said.

"My enemies call me the 'Crimson Fox', but until you become my enemy you can call me Fox." He spoke in a monotone voice, before they could speak he spoke again.

"I have business with your Hokage, just tell her I have a message from the Maelstrom and I wishes to speak to her." He said in the same serious voice.

The gate gaurd nod and motioned an ANBU to see if the Hokage would see him. A few minutes later the ANBU comeback and wispered to gaurd.

The guard said "She'll see you, ANBU will escort you to her office." The figure nodded at him.

After a short walk to the hokage tower he was led in her office.

"What is it you wanted to talk about Fox?"she asked

"The ANBU need to leave." He said in a serious vioce that left no room for argument.

"Leave us." She commanded and four figures appeared in a crouch before they all shushined out. The intimidating figure narrowed his eyes at what he felt; with speeds that left the Hokage unable to follow he produced a kunai ,with a tag unkown to her attach to it, in both his cloaked hands and through them at the far corners behind her. Tsunade didn't know what happened untill she heard two thumps on both sides of her. Looking were the sounds came from she saw two figures dressed in standard ANBU attire on the floor dead. thinking they were normal ANBU she was about to yell at the figure until he pointed at the mask of one of the figures; she looked at it carefully and saw something that pissed her off. Ne written on the mask.

"Maybe you should keep your shinobi under better control, and dispose of loose ends before they infest anymore." the figure said in the same monotone vioce as before.

"Don't worry I'm going to personally get rid of a certain infestation, now back to the topic at hand before our interuption, so answer the question." she said seriously to the strange figure in front of her.

The figure made a one handed tiger seal and room took on a slight blue glow before dieing down.

"Now that's not how to speak to an old friend after so long, I'm hurt Baa-Chan." the figure said in a mock hurt voice. Tsunade froze hearing those words; turning to the figure said "It can't be...n-n-naruto" she said
