Naruto: Infidelity

In the Village Hidden among the Leaves, life was going on like it usually did. Satori sat with Yukino in the Ichiraku Ramen Shop. They had just come back a day earlier from their mission from the Land of Glass. Satori was still in a bit of a shock from finding out that Yukino was Azumi's older sister.

"So let me get this straight, you are Azumi's older step sister? She never mentioned you nor have I seen you before."

"Well Azumi and I were hardly the ideal pair of sisters. We loved each other like sisters but we just had different views. Her father and my mother were killed during the Kyubi attack. And our parents got together when Azumi was three."

"Ah I see."

"Which by the way I think something is up with that whole battle anyway."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, I know what technique the Fourth Hokage used to get rid of the Kyubi and it's the same technique that the Third Hokage used to defeat Orochimaru."

"What's so mysterious about that?"

"Well, it's a sealing technique. The Third sealed Orochimaru's hands into himself so I want to know where the Fourth sealed the Kyubi's soul."

Satori had to think fast about how to answer that question. He knew exactly where the Fourth had sealed the Kyubi and he knew the consequences on talking about it.

"Maybe he sealed it in himself." Satori lied.

"It's possible but I don't think that was the case. I think it he sealed it somewhere else. I'm not sure how or where but I'll figure it out."

"So, you and Azumi were together for almost two years?" Yukino asked changing the subject back.

"Yeah." Satori said with a slightly low voice.

Yukino took a bit of her ramen and noticed that Satori was just staring at his bowl of ramen. His hands were lying on both sides of the bowl and his chopsticks were in his hand. He looked distracted. Yukino knew what he was thinking about. It was more like who he was thinking about.

"You miss her don't you?" Yukino asked.

Satori nodded. "Yeah I do. She was a good person. I miss her a lot."

Yukino reached over and rubbed his back. "I miss her too."

At that moment Shizune appeared next to the two Jonins.

"Why is it that you guys always appear when I'm eating?" Satori said.

"Maybe it's because you are always eating." Shizune replied.

"Fair enough."

"Anyway, Tsunade-sama would like both of you to report to her office. She has a mission for you." She said.

"Looks like our date is over, eh?" Satori said with a joking smile.

"Yeah I guess it is. We'll have to pick up where we left off some other time." Yukino said.

Satori smiled as the three of them leapt into the air to go see the Fifth Hokage.

A day later, Junshin sat with Tenten and her parents eating dinner.

"I wonder how much longer Satori is going to be on his mission. I know he went to Hidden Waterfall to drop off some important document but it shouldn't take too long." Junshin said.

"He's been going through a lot lately. He's resilient though." Genma said.

No sooner did he say that there was a knock on the door. Yashira got up and went to answer the door. She opened the door to see Tsunade and Shizune standing there. The look on Tsunade's face was distressed and Shizune's head was lowered. Yashira couldn't see her face.

"What is it, Hokage-sama?" Yashira asked.

Genma, Tenten and Junshin came to the door as well. Tenten looked down and saw that Tsunade was holding a forehead protector and Satori's sai belt. A feeling of dread filled Tenten's body. She knew exactly was Tsunade was going to say. Tsunade looked to the four of them and hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

"Satori is dead."
