The early hours of the morning were broken by a high pitched anguished scream. Half way across the village the Sandaime heard the acream and was alert immediately. "Neko!" a woman with purple hair, decked out in full ANBU gear appeared in front of the third.
"Hai Hokage-sama?" she asked in a curt, proffessional voice.
"I want you to check out the disturbence" his tone clipped cold and proffessional. "Report to me immediatelyafter you find out what it it. Take two squads with you. Dismissed" The ANBU bowed and disappeared. 'I hope this isn't what I think it is. If it is then I may have made the biggest mistake I've ever made' The Godaime sighed puffing on his pipe.
Else where the ANBU squads were racing towards the screams location. The Nako ANBU made a hand sign and the squads nodded. Arriving at the scenethe two squads split up. One squad went left. one went right. It really didn't matter as both hallways were covered in blood. And... other unsavory things. If they weren't ANBU and had really strong stomachs they would've pukedat the first spread sheet of blood on the walls and the floor. "Whoever did this must be detained immediately" Nekos tone was clippped andleft no room for questions. A whimper from a door on the left side of the hall drew their attention. Neko motioned for the squad to stop as she opened the door hastily.
"No! Close the door! He'll find me again" a soft voice, full of unbridled fear yelled at Neko. The woman looked emmaciated and blood flowing from a wound on her side and a deep gash visible through a tear in her shirt.
"Come out, come out, where ever you are" a creepy chilling voice floated through the room. The rest of the squad in the hall ways shared wayward glances, the only sign showing they were slighty nervous. "Found you!" a figure melded out of a shadow onto the floor holding a bloodied sword. His blue jeans and white t-shirt covered in blood. "Oh goody! You invited some friends! Now this'll be even more fun" a crazed maniacal smile crossed his face making him look absloutely mental(a/n he IS).
"So your the disturbence. Long time no see... Naruto Uzumaki" Neko backed up a few steps and began to fear for her life. This couldn't be Naruto Uzumaki. No, this person is too dark, malicious, evil.
"I see you remember me Yu-chan. And here I thought little ole me would fade from your memory like everyone else in this rat infested hell hole" Naruto said in a innocent voice. "But I am humbled" he mocked bowed "that I still have a foot hold in your life. However if you excuse me I must finish what I started" he motioned with his sword "with this bitch. She has sins to answer for and debts to repay" he finished darkly blood soaked bangs shadowed his eyes.
"What has this woman done to you? To do deserve your wrath?" Yugito drew her own sword and stood in front of the woman. "Now why don't we just calm down and work this out like adults!" It was more a demand than a question.
"That is not possible at all" he flicked the blood from his word meticously. "You and all this village know her. Tell me does the name Kushina Uzumaki ring any bells?" Naruto sneered eyes blazing. Yugito paled more than her ANBU mask.
"Your lying!" Yugito yelled. "Kushina-sama died during the Kyuubi attack. This woman is not her"he rhands started to shake sapring the woman behind her a glance.
"I'm lying am I? Why don't we let her tell" it was more a satement than a question. "Isn't that right, kaa-san?" he sneered menacingly. "Oh how the mighty have fallen. A once revered ANBU captain reduced to a sniveling shadow of her former self"
"He's right Yugito" the woman said in a sad tone.
"Kushina-sama is that really you?" Yugito asked almost dropping her weapon. Kushina nodded, her skin almost as white like paper from rapidly depleting blood loss.
"He's right Yugito" Kushina leaned against the wall shakily getting to her legs holding her side. "I do have debts to pay. Debts I can't hope to pay, even in death. I would beg your forgiveness son I-" she was cut off by Narutos hate filled glare.
"I am NOT YOUR son" he hissed slowly advancing towards the two. "You lost the right to call me your son the moment you abandoned me" his words laced with heavy venom driving stakes into Kushinas heart. Tears fell from her eyes at his words, hurt worse than any wounds inflicted by any weapon or jutsu.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT" she yelled. "I DIDN'T WANT TO ABANDONE YOU! Danzo told me you died when the sealing was completed" she said the last part barely above a whisper.
"Bull shit. Danzo told me a completely different story during my" Naruto scratched his chin thoughtfully "visit with him. Told me you vanished without a tracewhen all was said and done. You don't deserve to live for yourpast actions against me" he shoved Yugito to the floor uncaringly. Sheathing his sword he pulled a kunai from his weapons pouch. Kushina stiffened at the KI rolling off her son. He stopped before her and sliced a major artery in her back. Kushina screamed and collasped onto the floor. The ANBU squads rushed into the room and drew their weapons noticing hostile(s) in the room. One ANBU was about to charge Naruto when he spoke "If you want her to live get her to a hospital now. Unless the artery is repaired within two hours she'll die" and then Naruto disappeared.
Yugito got up quickly and grabbed Kushine. She made a hand sign and disappeared. All ANBU present were thoroughly freaked. This wasn't the Naruto that they were ordered to guard when he was younger.
"Lady Tsunade! We have an emergency!" Yugito burst through the Hokage office doorss, ABU mask halved from her shove to the floor from Naruto.
"WHAT! What's the emergency!"
"Kushina-sama, she alive. But Naruto cut a major artery in her back and she's dying" Yugito panted from saying it all in one breath. Tsunades eyes widened to the size of saucers. Tsunade grabbed Kushina from Yugitos hand and layed her gently on the couch, her back up.
"Shit! I knew the brat was up something when he asked me to teach him medical jutsu and the human anatomy" Tsunade snarled. Gathering chakra to her hands she bgan to work on closing the wounds. She did the artery first since it carried the most priority and she could die if something wasn't done soon. One hour later Tsunade wiped the sweat from her brow finally finished healing her injuries. Kushina groaned in pain and opened her eyes.
