There must have been thousands standing in the rain that day. Just standing there waiting for someone to show up I guess. But as soon as I walked into view everyone started cheering at the top of their lungs and clapping. At first I was really freaked out but then a huge smile started to appear on my face and the giant group of people got louder somehow. I started walking towards them after I slid off the rock that I was standing on.
About half way into the crowd, hand shaking, receiving pats on my back, hugs from everyone, and my hair being ruffled every now and then at least until the pain from my body being attacked gave out and I collapsed to the ground as peaceful darkness surrounded me.
I woke up a few days later in the hospital. The lights were blinding. The walls were extremely white; it was kind of hard to wake up in such a bright room. I squinted my eyes to peer around the room. There were flowers and stuffed animals covering almost every flat surface in the room with barely any waking space. As I continued to look around I saw Kakashi and Tsunade were also in the room with me. Tsunade was asleep on the chair while Kakashi was leaning against the window looking outside.
"Oh, your finally awake Naruto" Kakashi said with a one eyed smile that I have become accustomed to on what little face I could see. Tsunade jerked awake with a start when Kakashi started taking. She looked at me with a smile and immediately rushed to me to check all of my wounds.
"Well Naruto all of your wounds seem to be healed now. You are also off of active duty for the next two months. Enjoy your vacation brat" Tsunade says enthusiastically to me with a smile "Oh and try not to worry us like that again. I don't know if my old heart can take that kind of torture."
"Ok" I reply with the widest fake smile I could muster at that time. Kakashi just kept looking at me with a knowing look in his only visible eye.
"You know Naruto that I have gone through some of the same things you have and probably more than you have. If you ever need to talk to someone I will be there for you," he said with a very serious voice, I just nodded my head at him dropping my smile.
"Where did all of the flowers come from" I ask.
"Well, all of the villagers are grateful for taking the danger away from the village so they thought that it would be a good thing to buy you a flower I guess."
"Cool," I started to yawn.
"I will let you get some more sleep then," Kakashi said and left quietly. A few hours later Sakura came busting into the room with Sasuke not far behind her with a scowl on his face at being dragged here.
"Oh, Naruto we were so worried when you dragged those monsters away from the village. We would have gone after you to help but Kakashi said that you had to do it," Sakura started to talk frantically to me with wide eyes while Sasuke just stood there with his hands in his pockets leaning against the far wall.
"Well, I could not just let them attack the village without any repercussions you know."
"So when do you get out of the hospital dobe" Sasuke asked.
"Anytime now teme, I just waiting for the release papers" I replied. Just then Tsunade walked in with the said release papers and gave me a few instructions about not ripping out my stiches. After that I walked out and went straight to my apartment to rest some more as fast as I could while avoiding all of the villagers as much as possible.
I was so tired that I did not get up to answer my door when there were people banging on it randomly though out the next few days. That was until I heard John yell "Open up kid or I'm just going to have to break your door down." So I scrambled out of my twin bed as fast as possible because I knew that he would actually break my door down. As soon as the door was open I was wrapped up into a giant hug from my former teacher. He was hugging me so hard I was starting to lose all air circulation. I then started to flail around to try to get his attention.
Finally he let go and just started rambling about how the Mandament were on the move and they were headed here. After he told me, me being me, I started to freak out so I just ran, and ran, and ran to the one place that I felt at peace, the water fall. But my peace did not last long because soon after I was relaxed there was a hard blow to the back of my head knocking me out completely. Darkness took me once again.
I awoke in a dark and damp room chained to a stone wall and blood soaking my t-shirt. I tried to pull my wrists free of my chains but nothing happened except the cuffs cutting into my wrists. Then I heard three sets of footsteps coming from somewhere within the cave or whatever I was in. The door banged open and there were three men wearing strange masks walking into the room. They were all in black cloaks one of them was wearing a mask that looked like a fox, another was a dog, and the last one was just weird it has this one swirl from the top left side of the mask all the way across to the right side of the mask but towards his chin. They just stood there until the one in the swirl mask said, "So you're finally awake."
"Kind of obvious don't you think" I replied sarcastically. But all that did was with a snap of the swirl guys' finger dog and fox both had a fist in my stomach knocking the air out of my lungs. "Next time there will be blades instead of just their fists. So if I were you I would play nice."
"Yeah well you can just go crawl in a hole and die for all I care. It's not like anyone will be looking for me now will they."
"Oh, but I'm hoping that all of your friends will come along with you teachers then you will just be humiliated with what they will see. I mean what they will think of you when you are just chained to a wall with all sorts of weapons sprouting from your body and no hope of living at all. So now your dreams of leading your village will never come to happen because today you will finally die and nothing will be able to bring you back." The guy in the swirl mask said with the utmost confidence. Then all of a sudden I heard about ten different people come running down the stairs towards the room that we were in. The door busted open again and they all came in wheeling a few carts full of weapons.
"Any last words Naruto before you go to your death?"
"Yeah just a few; you will not live long for my village will come after you and you will all die." I said with assurance. The next thing I knew was that everyone was throwing, stabbing, shoving different types of weapons though my body everywhere they could find. They were cutting my flesh off my body and pulling random bones out of my body. It felt like they were flaying me alive; which I guess they were. I did not even flinch I just stared at the man in the swirl mask with a smirk on my face as my vision became black around the edges as they started pulling the bones out of my body. But before I did there was a loud crash up stairs and everyone stopped. The door busted open for the final time and my village, my precious people started to kill all of my kidnappers. The sad thing is though that I did not get to see it happen because my vision was all blurry and with all of the blood loss I was slowly dying and nothing could prevent that. So I prayed to god that all of my precious people made it out alive unlike me. The last thing that I felt was all of the weapons being pulled out of my broken and battered body as more blood flew out of my body rapidly. Even the best medics would not have been able to get to me in time to save me.
