I don't own Naruto or his friends! The story is yaoi or shounen-ai; there will be more than one pairing, but I'll be focusing more on NarutoXKakashi, ItachiXNaruto, and ItachiXSasuke. There's lime and it'll turn out lemon soon (hehe) in the upcoming chapters, so ratings will go up. You have been warned! Anyone who is uncomfortable with man to man relationship-- don't read this fic. Simple.
P/s: I know this fic doesn't seem to link with the first one, but had to fix the fix the first.. it was kinda rushing so I had to re-do the fic. I hope this one is better than the one before
The day was gloomy, nothing seemed to be the way they are. There was no happiness, there was nothing. Birds didn't chirp, flowers withered and the sky was getting darker and darker. Every part of Konoha expressed solemn-ness. It seemed like Konoha itself was saddened over something or someone.
The grumbling thunder followed by white streak of lightning in the sky brought a heavy downpour to the village. The sudden change of weather caused a hectic in the village. The villagers didn't even have time to find shade. Children ran back to their houses, mothers shut the windows and fathers brought in all the firewood that was needed. The rain seemed to last longer than a day.
Soon the street of Konoha was empty, with only papers and thrash flew here and there. Lonely dogs howled answering the sorrow-ness in the rain. Little puppies barked as they follow their mother to a shelter. Cats jumped from one bin to another searching for a place to hide; some stayed under the shops balcony and some stayed on under the houses. Anywhere as long as it is safe and dry.
Konoha was very intense. She wailed miserably in the lost of one she dear the most. She love the boy, the blonde boy that she cared for, the one with clear blue eyes. She was there when ever he is angry, she was the tree he punched and kicked, she was the river he fell into, she was the sky he looked upon, she was everything around him and she (konoha) would always stayed by his side.
But it wouldn't be the same anymore. She heard him mentioning it, she saw him preparing for it and she fell the utmost lost when he announced it to the blonde haired woman. Ohh how she suffered looking at them..
"What the hell are you thinking young man!" the blonde women cursed as the boy finished his sentence.
"This better not be one of your stupid pranks, because if it is, I swear by the power of my fist I'll punch u all the way to heaven! ", she chattered and flashed her intimidating fist towards him.
Naruto didn't even bulge-- no wince, no fear, nothing. He just stared at the pale fist and held it in his small hands.
"Demo baa-san,.(But granny)!"
"I'm serious about this!"
"Why can't you let me go?"
"It wouldn't be long! ", he whined and stood on his knees in a begging position.
Konoha's spirit was there; she heard and saw the conversation, yet there was nothing she can do to stop him. The blonde boy didn't even notice her sorrow-ness and her anger in the rain storm. She continued to listened hoping for the boy to change his mind.
"Don't joke with me Naruto!" Tsunade sounded pissed.
"You expect me to believe in you? Huh?!"
" You think I can trust you traveling by yourself without putting yourself in danger!?!??" she hollered and waved her hand to emphasize her words.
The blonde boy kept quiet; he stared the floor as if interested with it. The latter didn't bother to listen to her lectures-- he already made the decision : no one can stop him-- not now, not ever!
"Naruto, " Tsunade called up to the blonde boy, worried to see him so still.
It was a bad idea to raise her voice, but after hearing what Naruto had said, she couldn't bare it and loose her temper. The blue-eyed boy was lucky that she didn't give him her deadly fist. 'That would have been easier', she thought and looked at the unmoved boy.
"I'm stil goin"
"Oh, no your not young man, it's too dangerous!" she said and slammed her fist on the table. Naruto is precious to her; she had lost two-- she couldn't bare to lost another.
"Who knows what kind of danger you might get into!" she hollered.
"Didn't you even think about the consequences!?!"
"Naruto you can go out there, but not alone," she said, remembering the bitter past.
"Your too young to take care of yourse" Tsunade articulation stopped when she saw the blonde one shaking all over.
" Naruto, daijoubune? (are you ok?) ", she asked. 'Is the boy crying?', Tsunade thought. Was she to harsh on him?
"Naruto, gomen," she stuttered.
"I just want you"
"You said before that I'm too young to take care of my what?" Naruto questioned her; still looking down towards the floor-- Tsunade couldn't tell whether the young one was angry or sad.
" Naruto I did"
"You said I'm too young to take care of my what?" he questioned her again, this time with a higher pitch. He was practically yelling at her.
"I said!" The fifth was getting pissed
"You are still too young to care of yourself!" the blonde women yelled back at the blonde-haired boy.
"What?" the blonde haired boy chuckled as he heard her statement
"I've been taking care of myself since how long god knows!!! " Naruto shouted.
"I was born to see hatred encircling my life!!!!" the blonde one hollered and point towards the village.
"I have the greatest evil buried in my body!!!!" he yelled and punched himself on the chest. Tsunade was shocked by his sudden change of behavior.
"And you… you are telling mechuckled that I can't manage to take care of myself…?" The blonde one stammered at his last sentenced as tears started to weld up in his eyes.
The Konoha spirit saw the watery reflection in those blue eyes. She would give up everything she could just wipe those tears away: but she can't. She existed to witness and witnessed is all she can do. Anger rose within her and unintentionally sending numerous of thunder in the village-- some of the houses caught fire caused by her anger.
Tsunade slumped herself on the chair and looked at the boy giving him a you-are-annoying glare. She felt like kicking some sense into that boy. 'What a persistent kid', she thought and mentally chuckled.
'Or am I being persistent?' She questioned herself. Thinking back of what had just happened, she didn't even allow the kyuubi-sealed boy to state his reason.
'Guess I am the one who need a kick to my senses', the blonde woman thought. But what could be so important for the blonde boy to come running into her office without knocking and nearly torn the door apart from the wall?
As if the boy had read her mind, a scroll was thrown towards her. She caught the scroll perfectly and bewilderedly looked at the blonde-boy. She took a glimpse of the scroll and studied it; there was a symbol drawn on it using a brush. She looked up towards Naruto and then back at the scroll.
'From the look of the yellowish cover, the scroll seemed to be written a long time ago, approximately 12 to 13 years,' she stated out mentally. And the ribbon they used to seal it—it was gold-strapped. Tsunade gasped when she saw it.
"Recognized the symbol?" Naruto asked with a flat tone, ignoring her shock expression. Tsunade clasped her hand to her mouth as she tried to cover the discomfort ness in her.
She looked at the boy as he took off his jumper.
"Naru-- what are you doing?" she stuttered. Tsunade didn't know why but her voice was shaky; just like the time when her younger brother died. What are the contents in the scroll that made her felt so uneasy? Tsunade didn't know why but her heart beated faster and faster as the minutes past.
'Why is Naruto so calm? Can he not feel the tension surrounding us? The tension you get when a secret was about to be leaked,' Tsunade thought as she touch the scroll fragilely. She held the scroll in one hand with full care. Tsunade stared at the scroll as if it had all secrets in the world.
'Does it?' she thought and looked at the boy taking off his black under-cloth.
Tsunade gasped again, and this time she had two hand clasped on her mouth when she saw the seal on Naruto's stomach glowed and so did the symbol on the scroll. Tsunade moved closer to the desk to get a good looked at the scroll.
'The symbol on the scroll and the one on Naruto's stomach were similar, no—' she thought back, '--it is the same symbol.'
"Where did you get this…?" she questioned the boy when the scroll stopped glowing and glared at it.
"I found it," came the boy simple answer. She mentally smacked herself-- can he not be a little more specific than this?
"Where?!" she hissed as her patience was running low; very low.
"At the uhh forbidden forest, while training," he answered back with a smirk plastered on his face.
Ignoring his idiotic attitude, Tsunade was about to question his presence in the forest when Naruto insisted on her to open the scroll. Tsunade hesitated from doing so, thinking what if it had a trap on it? The scroll gave her an eerie feeling before, probably if she opened it, it might cause more than just an eerie feeling.
'Can it?' she questioned herself. She did felt the tension but it was soon gone right after Naruto flashed his symbol to her.
"Don't worry, there's no trap on it" Naruto told her, giving her a bit confident as he sense her hesitation to open it.
"Maa... your not the only one who felt it," Naruto told he sheepishly.
"What do you mean?" she asked looking up at him.
"That's what the scroll kind of do, it made you depressed if it doesn't know you," he explained.
"Kind of like that... I think," he continued as he tried to explain whatever he knew. ." Tsunade was caught of guard, she didn't even realize the tension was gone until Naruto mention about it.
"So you are saying that, anyone who tries to open the scroll will be depressed."
"Yeah!"
"And the feeling is gone only when the scroll saw that seal of yours?"
"Yes," he answered and jumped on the desk.
"Open it," he persuaded her and so she did as he told her to.
"It's blank!" she muttered feeling slightly disappointed for anticipating something great from the scroll.
"No, its not," uttered the blonde boy and bit his thumb. He waited for the blood to trickle before spreading his blood from the top to the bottom of the scroll. Tsunade studied the boys action and was aghast when she saw bit by bit, letters starts to form on the scroll, then Tsunade saw words glowing out of the scroll followed by sentences. Within minutes the blank scroll was now fully written from the top to bottom.
Naruto wanted to laugh seeing the fifth shocking expression. How many within this hour had she gasped-- three, two? He counted with his five fingers. 'Nevertheless she has to read it, I have to tell her why I'm leaving so sudden. Whether or not she wants to tell the other, that's for her to decide but I really hope she doesn't,' thought the blonde boy.
"Read it," said the blonde boy and settled himself in a comfortable sitting position on the desk.
