"hello sakura are you there?" he said worried
Sakura looks at him and blush, and then she calmed down by acting cool. "I'm ok naruto, now if you excuse me I'm going to see lady tsunade" she said trying to side step him, Naruto seeing that she's trying to avoid him grab her hand making her stop. she tried removing her hand only for naruto to hold it tighter, angry she turn towards him and glare at him, "Naruto let go" she said with a warning tone
" no sakura, we need to talk" he said sternly
"I have nothing to say to you" she said
"Well I do" he said using his jutsu to teleport them to the hokage mountain. When they reached there he let her go and sadly looks at her "I don't know the reason you've avoided me sakura, but you must still be hurting because of sasuke" he said getting her attention. Sakura was taking back, her inner self wanted to scream and say you got it all wrong, but she just stayed quiet and let him talk.
"I know sasuke is an asshole for leaving you and salad, I thought he changed when he came back to settle down but I didn't know he was gonna leave you after impregnating you." he said clenching his hands
"when you needed me the most I wasn't there instead I was too busy with hokage work that I didn't see my friend hurting inside." he said then said " This is my fault because of me you have to live with this pain all your life." he sadly said with a shaky voice
Sakura seeing him almost in tears, felt guilty, Because of her naruto blames himself for what sasuke did. Grabbing his hand she pats it making him look at her "it wasn't your fault naruto, you shouldn't feel remorse for something sasuke did, so please stop blaming yourself." she said then adds " I don't regret what sasuke did because salad is the best thing that happened to me, I love her so much she's the best thing that ever happened to me." she said with tears
Naruto seeing her in tears brought back old memories when sakura would always cry for him when she thought he was dead, he never knew a woman could be so beautiful crying until he met sakura. He gently whips her tears away surprising her then he hugs her "I miss you sakura" he said making her heart beat " you and sasuke were my best friend, I knew having sasuke gone was lonely but when you stopped seeing me I felt really alone" he said honestly
~we both felt lonely ~ she thought sadly, they both pull away from each other and stayed quiet. Naruto notice how the sun hits sakura face making her eyes pop out even more and the way the gentle breeze blow her hair made naruto realize how beautiful sakura has become, this was a sight to be seen. ~I can't believe sasuke left a woman like her, he must have been an idiot~ he thought still staring at her "Kid "kurama said still not getting through him "NARUTO!" he said getting his attention
"What is it kurama" he said annoyed in his head
"I can smell your want for the girl, but remember kid you're married. What ever feeling you had for her is in the past, let it go." he said
"you must be mistaken kurama I feel nothing towards sakura, besides I love hinata I would never want to hurt her or my kids." he said, sakura watch his expression change from annoyed to angry then back to annoyed ~he must be talking to kurama~ she thought
~this could be my chance to escape since he's distracted~ she thought before turning around and disappeared.
"You might say that but you're forgetting that I can read and feel your emotions." he said enjoying his argument
"I blocked you from doing that long ago." he said smirking
" fool nothing can stop me from getting what I want, besides this conversation is over now since your bitch is now gone." he said getting naruto angry "don't call sakura a bitc-" he yelled not finishing his word when he turn to where sakura was before. He looks around but couldn't find her "DAMIT!" he said out loud before disappearing
Meanwhile in the future, henko tried to start a conversation with the demon but he ignored her while leaning his head on the tree, she bites her lips feeling ignored " Hey!" she screamed "can't you at least talk, your so boring" she said making the demon glare at her "can you shut up, I'm trying to take my nap and you're ruining it.' he said
Henko annoyed got up and puts her hand on her hips "look I'm just trying to be your friend, but you're not making it easy for me." she said annoyed making the demon scuff
" I don't make friends with people, especially a weak female like yourself." he said about to look at her when she punched him in the face sending him flying.
"How is that for a weak female" she said, the demon got up from the whole and walk to her than said "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!"
"MY PROBLEM! WHAT ABOUT YOURS...HUH" she said poking him on the chest
" I HAVE NO PROBLEM, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUNCHED ME FOR NO REASON!" he screamed
"WELL EXCUSE ME MR. SEXIST, BUT YOU DESERVE IT FOR CALLING ME WEAK." she said irritated
" HUH.. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DON'T ASSOCIET WITH FEMALES" he said then said "forget it I'm done" he said turning around to leave. Henko seeing this calmed down and quickly grab his hands, with a pleading look she said "please don't leave, you have to help me save this world." she said sadly
The demon seeing this remove her hands from his and said" this world means nothing to me, they can destroy it for all I care." he said earning a slap from henko "you BASTARD! How can you say something like that." she said hurt
"Many people are dying because of the eclipse, soon the nine tail fox will be consumed by those people, and they will use the fox to gain extra power and destroy what's left of the village." she said sadly "I can't watch my family die or anyone else for that matter." she said sadly she look at him with hope and said "if you wont help me than goodbye" she said waiting a little before she turn completely around and left. The demon was in trouble he knew what henko said was true but he wasn't wrong either.
"Why should I help save what's left of this village it's not important to Me." he said quietly, He close his eyes to sleep when he felt something crawl on him, opening his eyes he came face to face with a little boy about two years old on top of him smiling and giggling. "What do you want?" he said staring at the boys blue eyes
The little boy just sat on him and sucks his thump tilting his head to the side while the demon boy kept talking. "You know you remind me of someone" he said a picture of henko appeared in his head but he quickly shook it off. ~why am I thinking about her~he thought before shaking his head to clear his mind. He picks the boy up and decides to drop him of at the nearest village, at first he was a little scared to pick him but when the baby didn't cry he continue his task.
MEANWHILE henko was still fuming about what happened, she kicked a rock and it hit something. When she looks at the direction she saw a book on the floor, curious she picks it up and reads the title "Taimu toraberu jutsu" she says to herself before looking over it, it took her less than a second to read through the whole book ~I'm glad I was born with my mom intelligence rather than dads'….thank you mom~ she thought before closing it.
she grins and cheered excitedly ~this is it, this was what I've been hoping for~ she thought ~if I can go back in time 20years earlier I can save konoha and prevent the eclipse from happening~ she thought
"Henko theirs a problem" a voice from her radio said
"Dad?" she asks scared
"yes dear its me, I'm very upset with you for leaving the safety ground henko" he said before he was cut of by his wife "young lady get back here this instant before I come there and drag you myself." she said making henko shiver
"Anyway" he said grabbing the radio "henko your brother his missing, he must have followed you up their… you have to find him and come home" he said weakly
"Are you CRAZY? You baka… they might find her and kill her" she said before adding "I will go and get Akarui" she said making her husband and daughter yell at her
"its fine mom, I can look for him you just help dad recover." she said, her mom was about to protest when she turn of her radio ~sorry mom… Dad... When I find aki, I won't come home~ she thought before heading out to look for him. She search everywhere she knew aki would have went but she couldn't find him, just when she was about to scream with frustration she was attacked by the enemy. she look up to see a man who look much more powerful than her, he stood on top of a tree watching her then he spoke " so you are the girl that was born from the demon" he said earning a glare from henko
" I would watch what you say if I were you." she said while grabbing her kunai, she watch as the man jump down from the tree and throw his cloak away showing his tattoo arms, He summon some chakra before attacking her. " I will make sure I kill each and everyone of the fox vessel and make this world mine to control." he said
Henko dodge his attack and throws her kunai which only hits a log. Quickly she scans the place trying to figure out where his next location was, when she found it punch him making him fall backward. The man got up cracking his mouth " I thought you were weak but I underestimated you." he said while smirking " this should be fun." he said before cutting his hand making blood appear then he did a jutsu henko never heard of before, she watch as black sticky substance cover her feet and made its way to her waist. she tried moving but she couldn't ~ talk about getting dirty, mom is gonna kill me~ she thought before summoning her own jutsu "Amaterasu!" she said watching the fire consume and spread around her.
with her eyes she direct it to her legs making it destroy what ever jutsu that was holding her, she remembered when she first tried this jutsu she thought she was gonna die from the flames but her sensei taught her to control it and now she can use it to her content, quickly she made the hand sign making two clones appear, one of the clone throws the kunai at the man which he easily dodge while the other snuck behind him, he grab her hand and flipping her over then he took his kunai and stab her making her clone poof. While he was distracted henko appeared above him and scream "resengan" hitting him right on his shoulder.
The man coughed out blood but he never got the chance to get himself together when henko spins and kick him on his side making the man fall further away from her and disappearing. When henko went back to see if he was there, she saw a wood in the whole.
"you have got to be kidding me." she said to distracted and not seeing a hand appearing from below her and injecting her with some type of needle. "What the hell" she said
The man appeared before her and smirk "such language coming from someone so small." he said watching her trying to move "its pointless little girl, you wont be able to move." he said before touching her hair, making her cringe ~ talk about breath mint~ she thought holding her breath "you probably wonder why you cant move, well I injected you with snake poison, it should be spreading around your body making you paralyze." He said making her sweat from the affect.
"now, tell me where is the fox" he said but then smack his head " that's right you cant, I will just have to take it out of you." he said making his hand glow, he was about to absorb her power when a kunai hit his leg. he growl in annoyance and said " I see you didn't die from the last attack demon boy.' he said making henko turn her eye ball towards the boy. She watches as he walk calmly towards them with a baby ~wait a minute…AKI! ~ She thought surprise to see her brother.
" the name is not boy" he said summoning his pet tiger to watch over the baby, after he finish he tied his head band around his forehead removing his bangs from his eyes than he did some jutsu making a spear come out from his palm. "Its YABAN!" he said before attacking the man. He ran so fast that the man didn't see him coming, but he quickly activates his sharigan making him keep up with the boys move. They both were hitting one another with their weapons, neither one of them would back down, yaban made another clone and create something like the resengan but it was file with fire, it grew bigger as he work his hands, once they were done they waited while watching yaban fight the man.
~ who is yaban~ henko thought ~ I've never seen someone made a replica of resengan by using fire, that's just impossible~ she thought she coughed up blood while watching them fight, seeing the blood made her panic but she soon stopped when yaban tiger appeared before her and lick her legs removing what ever poison that was injected in her. Henko had to blink twice and move her legs, when she felt nothing she sigh with relief and thank the tiger.
Meanwhile, in the past salada was watching bolt making a fool of himself, She was happy that she was in the same team as him because she never had any friends, she was just happy that he was on her team. Shikadai tried to make bolt understand the after math of his prank but he ignored him " konohamaru sensei wont even know its me that did it." he said smirking while hiding behind the trees, Even though salada didn't show it she was also excited to see what will happen. They saw konohamaru walking towards the whole bolt had digged up, He had covered it and made it look like the ground. It was the perfect
Illusion, they all held their breath waiting but when he walk right on the thing and didn't fall they were surprise. "This was pointless" shikadai said before leaning on the tree while salada sigh with relief. Bolt not liking that his prank went wrong walk in the clearing follow by salada. Konohamaru was about to greet them when bolt walk right by him follow by salada and a bored shika " I don't get it, I was sure I put it right here." he said while stepping on the spot, just when he was about to move the ground crack and he fell in the whole full of mud.
"BOLT!" his friends said running to the whole
"HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN" he said covered in mud, salada was about to say something when they heard laughter, they turn to see their teacher on the floor laughing hard. When he finished he walk to the whole and said "I know all your tricks boruto, after all your dad use to do the same thing to the six hokage." he said smirking
"But we all saw you walk right into the trap and you didn't fall, how is it that bolt managed to get trapped in his own prank?" shika asks
"Unless you use some type of illusion jutsu to make it seem like you were walking on it." she said
"Your correct salada, but that's not all I did. I wasn't walking on the ground I created an invisible bridge that made it seem like I was walking on the ground" he said before walking to the training ground. Bolt irritated that his sensei outsmart him screams "I WILL GET YOU BACK SENSEI, JUST YOU WAIT" shika shook his head while salada smirk to herself.
"come on bolt lets hurry before where late." salada said, they both help him get out of the whole and move away when they smell something terrible "what's wrong guys" he said
"you smell like shit" shika said covering his nose, bolt look at his friends and then smelt himself before realization hit him " SENSEI!" he screamed, far away from them konohamaru heard bolt scream he smirk with victory " took him long enough to figure out that, it wasn't mud he was in."
Elsewhere, sakura was checking on her patents, she remembers her talk with lady tsunade. And how she was happy that she was coming back to the hospital, Lady Tsunade was the only person who understood what she's going through, that day she even told sakura to follow her heart instead of her dream, but she refused to let sasuke go. she sighs ~if I had taken her advice where would I be now~ she thought before walking out the room, she was walking by the window when she saw hinata and her daughter coming in for a check up. "I knew I would have to face my nightmare anyway, but I was hoping it wasn't so soon." she said to herself.
