naru-chan13: thanks for the kind words
sasuke: at least this one was better
naruto: your only saying that cause she let the readers vote on the pairings in her other fic
:sasuke sulks as fangirls stalk:
naruto: I didn't even have to blow the whistle that time!
ANYWAY
lets get right into this!
NOT DOING THAT TALKING THINKING THING ANYMORE
well, the explanation at the beginning anyway
don't own nothing
Naruto's eye's. They held so much emotion and at the same time they were void. Void of feeling, of all the sadness she has felt over the years and most of all.
They were void of sight.
(Wasn't going to do this but it sounded like a good idea)
Her eyes were glazed as if she were looking past them all to something in the distance. Something they didn't, couldn't and would never be able to see.
"Naruto." The Third started of, speaking gently so not to startle her but she didn't make any reaction at all. The remaining medics made their way to her and even more slowly began to check her over for anything else.
Her being blind wasn't a total surprise. They had hoped, that the fact that her eyes were still in their sockets was a sigh that she would have recovered. Foolish hope on their part. What hurt them though, was how they got their first reaction from Naruto.
A medic, who could be considered Naruto's personal doctor went to check Naruto's back, which meant actually touching her. They weren't afraid of any violent reaction, just the opposite. And thats just what they got. The moment skin met skin Naruto jerked back almost falling off the bed she was placed on.
The gods must have had something against them, or Naruto, or both because the next thing that happened was worse then the fist. How that tiny voice was able fill up the room, none of the occupants would ever know. But what was said would never be forgotten.
"I'm sorry." two words. That was all it took. But again, it didn't stop there.
"Naruto-chan, you have nothing to apologize for." The Third tried to assure her but when she shook her head again and continued, elaborating this time. Though a selfish thought, the Third wished she had lost her voice instead of sight.
"No. I do. I'm always causing problems and inconveniencing everyone. I'm just, really sorry that I had to survive that and cause you more trouble." Almost everyone in the room broke at that. She said it so innocently and with that grin, that smile.
If the Sadaime could have, he would have joined the group of medics. But he was a shinobi, the Hokage. That means, never show emotion. He wasn't alone in this though, Anko, Ibiki and two of his three guests were in the same boat as him.
"Hey gaki!" the women who weren't sobbing in the room decided to go about it a different way. Coincidently, they started at the same time. They looked each other over and gave a nod of approval, beginning again. "Never, ever say anything like that ever again."
Naruto looked confused at this. If not for the situation, they would have awed at how cute she looked. "I know why jiji-chan says nice things to me but, I don't know you two. You have nothing to gain from this."
Now it was their turn to be confused
"What do you mean Naruto-chan? What is the reason you think I'm nice to you?"
"Well, if there was ever to be a situation in which a sacrifice was needed like how the Fourth-" everyone winced at this. She figured it was the mention of their fallen hero, the truth. The mourned silently the memory of a man, he was a hero but, he was also a father to a child that never knew. "-defeated the Kyubii."
Another wince. Their hero, the Fourth might have sacrificed his life in death but something even worse had occurred that day. He sacrificed the life of his daughter, damning her to a hell bound existence in the village.
"Naruto, I would never dream of doing such a thing to anyone, especially you. Where would you get such idea?" Naruto looked confused, opened her mouth to speak but stopped. Then a look of realization passed over her face. "Naruto?"
"It doesn't matter." she stated calmly which, was very awkward for everyone in the room.
:cough:
The attention then went to the three newcomers. A man with wild white hair and tatoos on his face, a blond woman with large... assets and a teenage girl with black.
Not that Naruto would know any of this.
"Naruto I'd like you to meet some old friends of mine." The Third took Naruto's hand and helped her up. She immediately crumbled to her feet. What do you expect from someone who was beaten to the point were a normal person wold have died five times over. AND, was left unattended in a dumbster for a week! Thing is, she got right back up.
"So-" Naruto started once the Third stopped her in front of his 'friends'
"This-" The Third took her hand and placing it on the closest person's hand which, was very large in comparison to her own. "-is Jiraiya ." Jiraiya bent down to the five year olds level. Naruto was already small for her age.
It finally clicked with those who knew, why she ate so much whenever they saw her eating. They realized that the villagers obsession with hurting her had gone so far. From raping her to denying her food in any way.
(Not selling, giving her spoiled food, overcharging her, etc.)
"Hello Naruto-chan. How's it going?" Jiraiya attempted to lighten things up. The closest thing he got was a stressed smile. The Third motioned he to pass Naruto off to the woman beside him. He did as he was instructed. The next hand was much smaller but was very rough with callouses.
"My name is Tsunade. This next to me is my apprentice, Shizune." She placed Naruto's free hand on Shizune's hand.
"Naruto. Tsunade and Jiraiya were once students of mine and, because of everything happening I think it would be best for them to take you away for a few years... So the things you've endured won't ever happen again." He really wanted her to agree to this. He couldn't force her but then again, why would she stay.
"Don't deserve it? But they sa-" she was cut off.
"Who the hell said you deserved this!?" Anko screamed, holding tears back with the last of her will.
"Everyone." That did it. Nija or not, Hokage or not. They were all human. And they all cried.
"DAMN IT! WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU CRYING! AFTER EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE1 NOTHING, YOU AREN'T EVEN YELLING ABOUT HOW STUPID THOSE BASTARDS ARE!" Anko was frantic.
"I don't cry because it would provoke them. Showing indifference seems to be the least painful option and well, they seem more sad then angry. They just picked me as their outlet for suffering."
"That is exactly why I want you to be somewhere safe. They aren't thinking strate and look what happened. I don't want you to hurt anymore."
"Alright, but I have a question."
"Go right ahead." Naruto pointed to the other side of the room where Tsunade had moved to and asked.
"Why is that woman in a genjutsu?"
naru-chan13: Yeah! another chappie .
sasuke:glares:
naruto: we'll have the next chapter out soon. If you suggest it, it may go into the story . 3
bye-bye and luv to all
