Surprising Outcomes Chapter 2

Naruto stared at Sarutobi in shock, not believing what the old man had just said to him at first. His mother was alive. But that wasn't possible. Sarutobi had been telling him his whole life that both of his birth parents had died the night that he was born. The old man had also told him several times that he did not know who his parents were or what they looked like. Sitting down into the chair behnd him, Naruto drew in a shaky breath before looking up at the third with empty eyes.

Sarutobi winced as he saw the expression in Narutos eyes, knowing that it was partially his own fault for having lied to him about Kushina being alive and knowing that she was his mother. Looking down at Naruto, Sarutobi knew that it was going to take a long time for him to get back Naruto's trust.

"Does she know that I'm alive and here in Konaha?" Naruto asked, staring at Sarutobi with empty eyes.

Wincing, Sarutobi nodded his head, watching as Naruto's face suddenly became enshrouded in rage and furry. Shoulders shaking, Naruto stared down at the office floor, his eyes slowly begining to turn red as the Kyuubi's chakra began to flood into his chakra pathways. Lifting his head, Naruto stared Sarutobi straight in the face as he spoke.

"When we find her, will my team be held responsible for any harm that comes to Kushina?" His question drawing confused looks from his team but a sad, pained look from Sarutobi.

"No. Your team will not be held responsible. But Naruto. Try not to kill her okay. She is still your mother." Sarutobi replied, his answer causing Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura to look at him in surprise, shocked that he would openly admit to possibly harming his own mother during the mission.

"That woman is no mother of mine. As far as I'm concerned, I have no mother." Naruto said coldly, turning around and leaving the office while slamming the door shut as he did.

Sakura and Sasuke took one last look at Sarutobi and Kakashi before running out of the room after Naruto. Running out of the tower, Sasuke and Sakura saw Naruto heading in the direction of training ground seven and immediately took off towards him.

"Naruto! Wait for us!" Sakura called loudly, sighing when Naruto stopped and turned to face them before freazing when she saw his blood red slitted eyes.

"If your going to try to convince me not to attack Kushina, then dont bother, nothing you say will stop me." Naruto said coldly, staring at his teammates with his fox eyes narrowed.

"We wern't. In fact, so long as we leave her alive, I was hoping you would let us help." Sasuke said, Sakura nodding her head beside him.

Naruto stared at his two friends in shock before grinning slowly, scaring a couple of the villagers that were watching him. This was perfect. His teammates wanted to help him.

"Who ever said I was going to kill her? I intend to make her feel all the pain that this village has caused me." Naruto said, smiling wider as the kyuubi's chakra left his system and his eyes returned to their normal sky blue shade.

Twenty minutes later found all of team seven packed and standing outside of Konaha's West entrance waiting for the signal that they could begin the mission. Smiling at his students, Kakashi began walking down the dirt road with the three genin following behind him silently.

"Now team, the journey to the location of the former Whirlpool Village is at least a three days travel away walking, we can half that time if we run. What do you guys want to do?" Kakashi asked, watching as his students all looked at eachother and nodded before looking back at him.

"We choose to run. The faster we get there the better." Sasuke anwsered, watching Naruto grin in anticipation at the thought of meeting Kushina sooner.


*Elseware in Whirlpool*

Kushina looked up from her garden as she suddenly got a bad feeling, the one you get when some one is coming after you.

'Kami, that was strange. Felt like some ones thinking of ways to harm me.' Kushina thought, shuddering when she suddenly thought of her son Naruto that she had left in Konaha thirteen years ago, before shaking her head.

'Impossible. Even if it was Naruto thinking about me, he couldn't know that I abandoned him.' Kushina thought, thinking of when she first layed eyes on her newborn son, only to have to look away because of the resemblance between him and his father Minato.


*Back with Team 7*

Naruto continued to grin as him and his team began to run in the direction of the once famous sight of Uzugakure. Kakashi watched Naruto carefully, worried that he might have to step in should Naruto get out of hand when they finally find Kushina. After several hours of running and jumping through trees, Kakashi called for a stop in a clearing surrounded by trees on all sides.

"Alright. Naruto, you begin by setting up the tents. Sasuke you collect wood for a fire. And Sakura you find a stream to fill out canteens at while I secure the perimiter." Kakashi said as he began walking around the surrounding trees and setting up some simple traps while the genin got started with their assigned tasks.

When Kakashi returned, he eye smiled and nodded at the sight of all the tents set up along with a fire already going while Sakura was walking into the clearing caring four canteens full of water along with four decently sized fish to cook over the burning fire. After everyone had eaten Kakashi turned to his students.

"Come on everyone, lets head to sleep. At this current moment their is no need to stay up for as watch." Kakashi ordered, before crawling into his respective tent while Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke followed his example and got into there own tents.


Jumping through the trees, Naruto couldn't help but begin to feel annoyed. They had been traveling for a good six hours since waking up and there was still no sign of them reaching there destination anytime soon. Looking ahead, Naruto smiled as he saw a small house come into few before blinking in confusion as he realized something.

'Strange. What is a small house doing in the middle of the forest. I wonder who lives there.' Naruto thought, looking up as his sensie began talking to them.

"Alright team, lets stop here for a bit and try to gather some information." Kakashi stated, jumping down from the tree followed by the three genin. Looking around in hopes of finding the owner of the house, Kakashi froze as a familiar voice called.'Oh no. Not now.' he thought in panic.

"Kakashi? Is that you? What are you doing here?" Kushina called, walking out of the forest towards them only to freeze when she caught sight of Naruto who was staring at her with a morbid of emotions in his eyes.

"No. It can't be." She whispered just as Naruto ran and jumped at her with a kunai in hand, rage and murder burning in his now blood red eyes.
