Neju and Naruto: The Story

The Two

"What happened?"

"I don't understand. Why? There's no way he could be dead."

The family looked out at where Konoha was. The only problem was that Konoha wasn't there any more. "Minato! Please tell me this doesn't mean Naruto is dead to?" Kushina asked as tears began to fall from her eyes. Minato was too shocked to say anything. Both of them were too stunned to say or do anything at all. "I can feel it. Naruto is alive. I just know it." Said Kushina as she got up, wiping away the tears. "Your right. We better start looking for him." Said Minato with a small grin. Kushina smiled back at him. 'Oh Minato.' She thought.

Takigakure (Hidden Waterfall Village)

"Do you have the boy?" asked a woman's voice.

"Yes." Came a mans voice.

"And the Hidden Leaf village?" asked the woman.

"It was destroyed by the Nine-tails. We managed to stop them from using the boy as the host." Said the man.

"Good. Give Naruto to Akana and Temujin. They will raise him."

"As you wish, milady." Said the man.

7 Years later

"Mom! I'm home!" yelled Naruto.

"Good, your home just in time for dinner." Said Akana. She set down the meal and Naruto attacked the food without mercy. Temujin was off to the side laughing at how Naruto had a bottomless stomach. Akana was laughing too. "Slow down Naruto. It's not going any where." Said Akana who was still laughing. Naruto snorted at that and continued to eat.

After all the food was gone, thanks to Naruto's brave effort, Akana cleaned the dishes. After the dishes were clean, Akana asked Naruto to follow her into the living room. Naruto's farther was already in there. "Did I do something wrong?" Naruto asked nervously.

"No. But we do have good news for you." Akana said happily.

"What is it?" Naruto asked eagerly.

"You're going to have a little sister!" Temujin said with a big grin.

"Who are you calling small!" Naruto shouted at them, a vein popping out on his fore-head. Both of them laughed at how Naruto was fuming at the fact he didn't even hear that he was going to be a big brother. After calming him down and explaining to him what they said Naruto jumped up in joy. "Yeah! I'm going to be a Big brother. Alright!" He shouted. Akana and Temujin shared a happy look between each other.

Else-Where

Minato and Kushina were sitting in a restaurant, waiting for their meals. "I hope Jiraiya really found something out about Naruto." Said Kushina. "Me too." Said Minato. The waiter came over and handed them their food. Minato ate his food quickly. Half way through, Minato noticed that Kushina had hardly touched her food. "Still thinking about him?" He asked her.

"Yes. I'm sorry…" she started to cry. "It's just that I miss him so much." She finished. Her tears began to fall more freely. "Hey there!" The couple turned around to see Jiraiya behind them. "Follow me." He said. Minato paid for the meal and the group headed out. After traveling for a few minutes, Jiraiya came to a complete stop. "He's around Waterfall." Jiraiya said abruptly.

"Huh?" asked Minato and Kushina.

"Naruto is some where between the Hidden Waterfall village and Hidden Sand village. But he is alive." Jiraiya said. Kushina fall to her knees crying, saying 'thank you' over and over to Jiraiya. Minato picked up Kushina and looked her squarely in the eyes. "We better start looking." He said with a grin.

"Yes we should. Jiraiya, will you come with us?" Kushina asked.

"Sure. But first, I want to find Tsunade. She and Shizune will have a heart attack when they hear he's alive. They love the boy and would want to see him." Jiraiya said with a grin of his own. "Of course. She wasn't there to save my son and protect him! I'll make her pay for that! Let's head out!" Said kushina while she laughed menacingly. Minato and Jiraiya were suddenly grabbed by the collars of their shirts and were dragged by the still laughing Kushina. 'I have a bad feeling about this.' The two men thought.

Waterfall Village

"Where are they now?" asked a woman.

"Five miles from a small village near the Hidden Mist village. Should we pursue?" Asked a man.

"No. Let them search. Even if they find out where Naruto is, they will never be able to convince him. Neju has too much control of him. We protect Neju, Neju will protect us by having the boy. The whole reason we used the nine-tails to attack the Hidden leaf, distracted the Forth Hokage and his wife, along with Tsunade and Jiraiya, and kidnap Naruto was so Neju could have him and to save the world." Explained the woman. Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

"We the council, must also ensure his safety. Isn't that right, Kara." Said a elderly man. The woman named Kara nodded to this. "Yes. All is going according to plan." She said.
